1. A biodegradable scaffolding material comprising a hybrid support structure consisting of manganese dioxide support structures, and at least one of a plurality of extracellular matrix proteins or a plurality of extracellular matrix polysaccharides,
wherein the manganese dioxide support structures consist of two-dimension nanosheets;
wherein the manganese dioxide support structures define a structure comprising a plurality of interstices and
the plurality of extracellular matrix proteins or plurality of extracellular matrix polysaccharides are disposed around and between the manganese dioxide support structures and through the manganese dioxide support structure interstices;
wherein the extracellular matrix proteins or extracellular matrix polysaccharides have a binding affinity with the manganese dioxide support structures, and together form at least one 3-dimensional nanoscaffold, and
wherein either the nanoscaffold thickness, protein concentrations utilized to assemble the two-dimension nanosheets, or both, are selected in combination with the aspect ratio of the nanoscaffold to set the zero-order degradation rate of the nanoscaffold.
