This research aims to fabricate the novel bio-hybrid composite scaffold from mesoporous bioactive glasses/silk fibroin/chitosan (MBGs/SF/CS) for use in tissue engineering applications. MBGs/SF/CS composite scaffolds were successfully fabricated using freezing and lyophilization process. Two types of mesoporous bioactive glasses which were irregular and spherical shape were dispersed in the silk fibroin/chitosan based scaffolds in order to improve the mechanical strength and bioactivity. SEM observation showed the interconnected pores with pore size from 100 to 300 µm. XRD and FTIR exhibited the present of silk fibroin, chitosan, and MBGs in composite scaffolds. The incorporation of MBGs in SF/CS scaffolds significantly increased the compressive strength of scaffolds. The composite scaffolds were immersed in the simulated body fluid (SBF) for in vitro bioactivity test. The in vitro bioactivity results indicated that the MBGs/SF/CS induced hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) formation while there was no change for SF/CS scaffolds. Furthermore, mesoporous bioactive glass with micro-spherical particles (MBGMs) which easily dispersed in SF/CS solution during the fabrication of scaffolds as compared to mesoporous bioactive glass with irregular shape (MBGs). The results showed that MBGs/SF/CS composite scaffolds could be useful composite scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.

Biomedical implants are the need of this era due to the increase in number of accidents and follow-up surgeries. Different types of bone diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteomalacia, bone cancer, etc., are increasing globally. Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) are used in biomedical devices due to their osteointegration and bioactive properties. In this study, silver (Ag)- and strontium (Sr)-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Ag-Sr MBGNs) were prepared by a modified Stöber process. In this method, Ag+ and Sr2+ were co-substituted in pure MBGNs to harvest the antibacterial properties of Ag ions, as well as pro-osteogenic potential of Sr2 ions. The effect of the two-ion concentration on morphology, surface charge, composition, antibacterial ability, and in-vitro bioactivity was studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the doping of Sr and Ag in MBGNs. SEM and EDX analysis confirmed the spherical morphology and typical composition of MBGNs, respectively. The Ag-Sr MBGNs showed a strong antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus carnosus and Escherichia coli bacteria determined via turbidity and disc diffusion method. Moreover, the synthesized Ag-Sr MBGNs develop apatite-like crystals upon immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), which suggested that the addition of Sr improved in vitro bioactivity. The Ag-Sr MBGNs synthesized in this study can be used for the preparation of scaffolds or as a filler material in the composite coatings for bone tissue engineering.

In this study, poly(∊-caprolactone) (PCL), gelatin (GEL) and nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (HAp) was applied to fabricate novel PCL-GEL-HAp nanaocomposite scaffolds through a new fabrication method. With the aim of finding the best fabrication method, after testing different methods and solvents, the best method and solvents were found, and the nanocomposites were prepared through layer solvent casting combined with freeze-drying. Acetone and distillated water were used as the PCL and GEL solvents, respectively. The mechanical test showed that the increasing of the PCL weight through the scaffolds caused the improvement of the final nanocomposite mechanical behavior due to the increasing of the ultimate stress, stiffness and elastic modulus (8 MPa for 0% wt PCL to 23.5 MPa for 50% wt PCL). The biomineralization investigation of the scaffolds revealed the formation of bone-like apatite layers after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). In addition, the in vitro cytotoxity of the scaffolds using L929 mouse fibroblast cell line (ATCC) indicated no sign of toxicity. These results indicated that the fabricated scaffold possesses the prerequisites for bone tissue engineering applications.
