Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The proposed manuscript from Jan Zienkiewicz et al. describes the development of  biocomposites based on β-tricalcium diphosphate(V) co- doped with Ce3+ and Pr3+ modified by poly(L-lactide) for bone  tissue theranostics. The composites were spectroscopically characterized and their morphological and structural properties were studied. Finally cytotoxicity and hemolysis test were performed.

After the revisions the proposed work is much more clear. The introduction as well as the goal of the research better explained and the experimental part more detailed. The English has been improved despite fine/minor spell check isrequired.

I feel that this paper could be published after minor revisions:

In the title, “Preparation and characterization self-assembled” should be replaced with “Preparation and characterization of self-assembled” The abstract should be revised adding the aim and the conclusion of the work In line 312 please, replace “Biological featurest” with “Biological features”
