Composition And Structure

In the last years bone tissue engineering has been increasingly indicated as a valid solution to meet the challenging requirements for a healthy bone regeneration in case of bone loss or fracture. In such a context, bioactive glasses have already proved their great potential in promoting the regeneration of new bone tissue due to their high bioactivity. In addition, their composition and structure enable us to incorporate and subsequently release therapeutic ions such as strontium, enhancing the osteogenic properties of the material. The incorporation of these inorganic systems in polymeric matrices enables the formulation of composite systems suitable for the design of bone scaffolds or delivery platforms. Among the natural polymers, type I collagen represents the main organic phase of bone and thus is a good candidate to develop biomimetic bioactive systems for bone tissue regeneration. However, alongside the specific composition and structure, the key factor in the design of new biosystems is creating a suitable interaction with cells and the host tissue. In this scenario, the presented study aimed at combining nano-sized mesoporous bioactive glasses produced by means of a sol–gel route with type I collagen in order to develop a bioactive hybrid formulation suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. The designed system has been fully characterized in terms of physico-chemical and morphological analyses and the ability to release Sr2+ ions has been studied observing a more sustained profile in presence of the collagenous matrix. With the aim to improve the mechanical and thermal stability of the resulting hybrid system, a chemical crosslinking approach using 4-star poly (ethylene glycol) ether tetrasuccinimidyl glutarate (4-StarPEG) has been explored. The biocompatibility of both non-crosslinked and 4-StarPEG crosslinked systems was evaluated by in vitro tests with human osteoblast-like MG-63 cells. Collected results confirmed the high biocompatibility of composites, showing a good viability and adhesion of cells when cultured onto the biomaterial samples.

AbstractReverse solid freeform (SFF) fabrication was used to create highly-controlled macroporous structures in nano-fibrous poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) scaffolds. By using a computer-aided design (CAD) program to create a negative template for the scaffold, the three-dimensional (3-D) mold was created on a 3-D printer using a wax. After the template was printed, a solution of PLLA in tetrahydrofuran (THF) was cast into the mold, and was subsequently phase separated at -70°C which gives the nano-fibrous morphology. This resulted in a 3-D nano-fibrous scaffold with a uniform fiber mesh throughout the entire matrix, and greatly increased the surface area within the scaffold. Fiber diameters in these scaffolds were 50-500 nm, similar to type I collagen, and the densities of the fiber meshes can be altered by changing the polymer concentration. To examine the scaffold's potential for tissue regeneration, MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were seeded and cultured on the scaffolds. Results show that the osteoblasts attached and proliferated on the scaffolds. After 6 weeks in culture, bone-like tissue was evident within the nano-fibrous scaffolds. By having the ability to control the macroporous architecture, interconnectivity, orientation, and external shape of the scaffold, as well as the nanometer-scaled fibrous features in the pore walls, this SFF fabrication/phase separation technique has great potential to design and create ideal scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Biomimetic Scaffold

The new type of bone tissue engineering scaffold composed of the sol-gel derived bioactive glass particles, type I collagen, hyaluronic acid and phosphatidylserine were prepared through cross-linking and freeze-drying techniques. SEM observation indicated that the scaffold possessed a 3-D interconnected porous structure and a high porosity. The properties of bio-mineralization and cells biocompatibility were investigated using SBF immersion and cells culture methods combined with SEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. The study revealed that this biomimetic scaffold possessed satisfactory functions of cells attachment, bio-mineralization, and cells biocompatibility. The porous structure and the surface of the scaffold which was covered by a bone-like HA crystal layer due to bio-mineralization were profitable for cells attachment and spread.

The Impact

Hybrid composites of synthetic and natural polymers represent materials of choice for bone tissue engineering. Ulvan, a biologically active marine sulfated polysaccharide, is attracting great interest in the development of novel biomedical scaffolds due to recent reports on its osteoinductive properties. Herein, a series of hybrid polycaprolactone scaffolds containing ulvan either alone or in blends with κ-carrageenan and chondroitin sulfate was prepared and characterized. The impact of the preparation methodology and the polysaccharide composition on their morphology, as well as on their mechanical, thermal, water uptake and porosity properties was determined, while their osteoinductive potential was investigated through the evaluation of cell adhesion, viability, and osteogenic differentiation of seeded human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. The results verified the osteoinductive ability of ulvan, showing that its incorporation into the polycaprolactone matrix efficiently promoted cell attachment and viability, thus confirming its potential in the development of biomedical scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration applications.

Bone-tissue regeneration induced by biomimetic bioactive materials is the most promising approach alternative to the clinical ones used to treat bone loss caused by trauma or diseases such as osteoporosis. The goal is to design nanostructured bioactive constructs able to reproduce the physiological environment: By mimicking the natural features of bone tissue, the cell behavior during the regeneration process may be addressed. At present, 3D-printing technologies are the only techniques able to design complex structures avoiding constraints of final shape and porosity. However, this type of biofabrication requires complex optimization of biomaterial formulations in terms of specific rheological and mechanical properties while preserving high biocompatibility. In this work, we combined nano-sized mesoporous bioactive glasses enriched with strontium ions with type I collagen, to formulate a bioactive ink for 3D-printing technologies. Moreover, to avoid the premature release of strontium ions within the crosslinking medium and to significantly increase the material mechanical and thermal stability, we applied an optimized chemical treatment using ethanol-dissolved genipin solutions. The high biocompatibility of the hybrid system was confirmed by using MG-63 and Saos-2 osteoblast-like cell lines, further highlighting the great potential of the innovative nanocomposite for the design of bone-like scaffolds.

The bone tissue engineering scaffold was developed by compounded the type I collagen with the porous scaffold of the sol-gel derived bioactive glass (BG) in the system CaO-P2O5-SiO2. The resultant porous scaffold was treated in supersaturated calcification solution (SCS) to form the surface layer of hydroxyl-carbonate-apatite (HCA) since the type I collagen possessed good biocompatibility and bio-absorbability, and also, the ability of inducting calcium phosphates to precipitated inside and outside the collagen fibers where the collagen fibers acted as bio-macromolecules template for formation of bone-like inorganic minerals in nature bone such as: octo-calcium phosphate (OCP), tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyl-carbonate-apatite (HCA). On the other hand, the sol-gel derived bioactive glass also played an important role in formation of the above bio-minerals owing to its serial chemical reactions with the body fluid. The in vitro study in supersaturated calcification solution SCS indicated that the surface of the porous scaffold was able to induce formation of bone-like HCA crystals on the pore walls of the scaffold which possessed satisfactory cells biocompatibility.

The study of nanocrystalline calcium phosphate physical-chemical characteristics and, thereafter, the possibility to imitate bone mineral for the development of new advanced biomaterials is constantly growing. The availability to use synthetic biomimetic hydroxylapatites (HA), since they are the most important inorganic constituents of hard tissues in vertebrates, represents a great turning point in bone tissue engineering because of their chemical similarity to the biological mineral component. The ability to control the architecture and strength of a bone tissue engineering scaffold is critical to achieve a harmony between the scaffold and the host tissue. The scaffold attempts to mimic the function of the natural extracellular matrix, providing a temporary template for the growth of target tissues. Scaffolds should have suitable architecture and strength to serve their intended function. Rapid prototyping (RP) technique is applied to tissue engineering to satisfy this need and to create a scaffold with fully interconnected pore structure directly from the scanned and digitized image of the defect site. In this study, we developed a biomimetic mineralized collagen/Polycaprolactone composite by self-assembling process of collagen fibers and nucleation of a nanostructured HA mimicking the natural bone. This new solution provides a hybrid material, based on natural components of bone (collagen and HA) and the support of the widely-tested PCL (polycaprolactone) giving the scaffolds ideal characteristics such as resorption, biocompatibility and 3-D printability. CAD design of the microstructure and bioprinting fulfills the need to finely control the scaffold’s shape to best fit the anatomical defect, the possibility of customization and the ability to perfectly control spatial distribution of pores and their morphology. The results allowed the conclusion that these scaffolds are biocompatible and allow the colonization and proliferation of MSC (mesenchymal stem cell). The in vivo results confirm the scaffold’s biocompatibility and its composition and structure create the basis for bone tissue regeneration.
