Bone tissue engineering is an advanced field for treatment of fractured bones to restore/regulate biological functions. Biopolymeric/bioceramic-based hybrid nanocomposite scaffolds are potential biomaterials for bone tissue because of biodegradable and biocompatible characteristics. We report synthesis of nanocomposite based on acrylic acid (AAc)/guar gum (GG), nano-hydroxyapatite (HAp NPs), titanium nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs), and optimum graphene oxide (GO) amount via free radical polymerization method. Porous scaffolds were fabricated through freeze-drying technique and coated with silver sulphadiazine. Different techniques were used to investigate functional group, crystal structural properties, morphology/elemental properties, porosity, and mechanical properties of fabricated scaffolds. Results show that increasing amount of TiO2 in combination with optimized GO has improved physicochemical and microstructural properties, mechanical properties (compressive strength (2.96 to 13.31 MPa) and Young’s modulus (39.56 to 300.81 MPa)), and porous properties (pore size (256.11 to 107.42 μm) and porosity (79.97 to 44.32%)). After 150 min, silver sulfadiazine release was found to be ~94.1%. In vitro assay of scaffolds also exhibited promising results against mouse pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cell lines. Hence, these fabricated scaffolds would be potential biomaterials for bone tissue engineering in biomedical engineering.

Fabrication of reinforced scaffolds to repair and regenerate defected bone is still a major challenge. Bone tissue engineering is an advanced medical strategy to restore or regenerate damaged bone. The excellent biocompatibility and osteogenesis behavior of porous scaffolds play a critical role in bone regeneration. In current studies, we synthesized polymeric nanocomposite material through free-radical polymerization to fabricate porous nanocomposite scaffolds by freeze drying. Functional group, surface morphology, porosity, pore size, and mechanical strength were examined through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Single-Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET), and Universal Testing Machine (UTM), respectively. These nanocomposites exhibit enhanced compressive strength (from 4.1 to 16.90 MPa), Young’s modulus (from 13.27 to 29.65 MPa) with well appropriate porosity and pore size (from 63.72 ± 1.9 to 45.75 ± 6.7 µm), and a foam-like morphology. The increasing amount of graphene oxide (GO) regulates the porosity and mechanical behavior of the nanocomposite scaffolds. The loading and sustained release of silver-sulfadiazine was observed to be 90.6% after 260 min. The in-vitro analysis was performed using mouse pre-osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cell lines. The developed nanocomposite scaffolds exhibited excellent biocompatibility. Based on the results, we propose these novel nanocomposites can serve as potential future biomaterials to repair defected bone with the load-bearing application, and in bone tissue engineering.

Beta-tricalcium phosphate bioceramics are widely used as bone replacement scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. The purpose of this study is to develop beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffold with the optimum mechanical properties and porosity and to identify the effect of N-acetyl-L-cysteine loaded to beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffold on the enhancement of biocompatibility. The various interconnected porous scaffolds were fabricated using slurries containing various concentrations of beta-tricalcium phosphate and different coating times by replica method using polyurethane foam as a passing material. It was confirmed that the scaffold of 40 w/v% beta-tricalcium phosphate with three coating times had optimum microstructure and mechanical properties for bone tissue engineering application. The various concentration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine was loaded on 40 w/v% beta-tricalcium phosphate scaffold. Scaffold group loaded 5 mM N-acetyl-L-cysteine showed the best viability of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblastic cells in the water-soluble tetrazolium salt assay test.

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. 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. 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 directly from the scanned and digitized image of the defect site. Design and construction of complex structures with different shapes and sizes, at micro and macro scale, with fully interconnected pore structure and appropriate mechanical properties are possible by using RP techniques. In this study we present a new biocompatible hybrid scaffold obtained through two different experimental methods and formed by synthetic biomimetic Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals with high surface reactivity which synergistically interacts with Poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) and polylactic acid (PLLA). The aim of this pilot study is to test the adhesion and the proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on both the scaffolds. MSC growth and distribution was evaluated 24 h and 7 days after in-vitro seeding. The results allowed the conclusion that these scaffolds are biocompatible and allow the colonization and proliferation of MSC, therefore, due to their mechanical properties, they are adequate for bone tissue engineering.

Experimental Basis

Reconstruction of bone defect is one of the difficult problems in orthopedic treatment, and bone tissue scaffold implantation is the most promising direction of bone defect reconstruction. In this study, we used the combination of HA (Hydroxyapatite) and PLGA [Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)] in the construction of polymer scaffolds, and introduced bioactive MSM (Methyl sulfonyl methane) into polymer scaffolds to prepare porous scaffolds. The osteoblasts, isolated and cultured in vitro, were seeded in the porous scaffolds to construct tissue-engineered scaffolds. Meanwhile, the model of rabbit radius defect was constructed to evaluate the biological aspects of five tissue-engineered scaffolds, which provided experimental basis for the application of the porous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. The SEM characterization showed the pore size of porous scaffolds was uniform and the porosity was about 90%. The results of contact Angle testing suggested that the hydrophobic porous scaffold surface could effectively promote cell adhesion and cell proliferation, while mechanical property test showed good machinability. The results of drug loading and release efficiency of MSM showed that porous scaffolds could load MSM efficiently and prolong the release time of MSM. In vitro incubation of porous scaffolds and osteoblasts showed that the addition of a small quantity of MSM could promote the infiltration and proliferation of osteoblasts on the porous scaffolds. Similar results were obtained by implanting the tissue-engineered scaffolds, fused with the osteoblasts and MSM/HA/PLGA porous scaffolds, into the rabbit radius defect, which provided experimental basis for the application of the MSM/HA/PLGA porous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

In this study, porous scaffolds were fabricated using inorganic material-hydroxyapatite and chitosan for bone-tissue engineering. The combination of hydroxyapatite and chitosan may result in increasing biocompatibility of the scaffolds. The scaffolds were prepared by solvent casting and paticulate leaching method. Bioactivity of the scaffolds was evaluated through in vitro experiments by soaking scaffold samples in simulated body fluid (SBF). The scaffolds obtained were highly porous and interconnected with a mean pore size of around 200µm and porosity about 79 %. The apatite-mineral layer was produced on the HAp/chitosan after 10 days of soaking in SBF, however, it was not observed on the chitosan scaffold after 10 days soaking. The results revealed that the HAp/chitosan scaffold showed better bioactivity than the chitosan scaffold. Keywords Scaffold, Chitosan, Apatite, SBF.

For bone tissue engineering, the porous scaffold should provide a biocompatible environment for cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and match the mechanical properties of native bone tissue. In this work, we fabricated porous polyetherimide (PEI) scaffolds using a three-dimensional (3D) printing system, and the pore size was set as 800 μm. The morphology of 3D PEI scaffolds was characterized by the scanning electron microscope. To investigate the mechanical properties of the 3D PEI scaffold, the compressive mechanical test was performed via an electronic universal testing system. For the in vitro cell experiment, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were cultured on the surface of the 3D PEI scaffold and PEI slice, and cytotoxicity, cell adhesion, and cell proliferation were detected to verify their biocompatibility. Besides, the alkaline phosphatase staining and Alizarin Red staining were performed on the BMSCs of different samples to evaluate the osteogenic differentiation. Through these studies, we found that the 3D PEI scaffold showed an interconnected porous structure, which was consistent with the design. The elastic modulus of the 3D PEI scaffold (941.33 ± 65.26 MPa) falls in the range of modulus for the native cancellous bone. Moreover, the cell proliferation and morphology on the 3D PEI scaffold were better than those on the PEI slice, which revealed that the porous scaffold has good biocompatibility and that no toxic substances were produced during the progress of high-temperature 3D printing. The osteogenic differentiation level of the 3D PEI scaffold and PEI slice was equal and ordinary. All of these results suggest the 3D printed PEI scaffold would be a potential strategy for bone tissue engineering.
