Here, the development of COSnPPOD (CaO<sub>2</sub>-Silica NP Platform for Osteogenic Development) is reported, a visible light digital light processing-printed hydrogel scaffold that integrates oxygen-releasing nanoparticles (NPs) within a Primitive-type triply periodic minimal surface architecture. The scaffold combines a gelatin methacrylate-poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate matrix with calcium peroxide (CaO<sub>2</sub>)-loaded hollow silica NPs, enabling localized, short-term oxygen release while preserving structural fidelity. COSnPPOD scaffolds demonstrate favorable degradation kinetics, tunable stiffness, and increased protein adsorption in vitro. In a preosteoblast model, COSnPPOD maintains cell viability and supports osteogenic gene expression without cytotoxic effects. While overall gene expression is comparable to controls, a 16-fold increased expression of phosphoprotein 1 (Spp1) suggests scaffold-driven activation of matrix remodeling pathways. In vivo, COSnPPOD scaffolds enhance bone regeneration in a murine calvarial defect model, with significantly greater bone formation and collagen deposition than untreated defects and hydrogel controls. Additionally, vascular endothelial growth factor immunostaining is increased within the defect, consistent with a proangiogenic response, and no systemic toxicity is observed.

Herein, a multifunctional immunomodulatory hydrogel for the healing of irregular chronic wounds with bacterial infections is developed. The system, based on the reversible fracture-restructuring property of dynamic chemical bonds, endows the elastic hydrogel with the viscous fluid property. Meanwhile, the bacterial capture properties are utilised to confer the hydrogel with mild and effective antimicrobial properties. By gradually eliminating bacteria and clearing bacteria and bacterial debris from the lesion, the immune stress response is modulated. In addition, the hydrogel adhering to the wound is painlessly removed by dissociation and disruption of the topological cross-linking points. Histopathological analyses revealed that hydrogels alleviate the inflammatory infiltrative condition at the lesion, accelerate the process of angiogenesis and re-epithelialisation, and facilitate the remodelling of the skin and its appendages.
