Abstract
Porous nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHA) is a promising bone substitute, but it is brittle, which limits its utility for load bearing applications. To address this issue, herein, biodegradable electrospun microfibrous sheets of poly(L-lactic acid)-(PLLA)-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were incorporated into a gelatin-nanoHA matrix which was investigated for its mechanical properties, the physical integration of the fibers with the matrix, cell infiltration, osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration. The inclusion of sacrificial fibers like PVA along with PLLA and leaching resulted in improved cellular infiltration towards the center of the scaffold. Furthermore, the treatment of PLLA fibers with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide enhanced their hydrophilicity, ensuring firm anchorage between the fibers and the gelatin-HA matrix. The incorporation of PLLA microfibers within the gelatin-nanoHA matrix reduced the brittleness of the scaffolds, the effect being proportional to the number of layers of fibrous sheets in the matrix. The proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was augmented on the fibrous scaffolds in comparison to those scaffolds devoid of fibers. Finally, the scaffold could promote cell infiltration, together with bone regeneration, upon implantation in a rabbit femoral cortical defect within 4 weeks. The bone regeneration potential was significantly higher when compared to commercially available HA (Surgiwear™). Thus, this biomimetic, porous, 3D composite scaffold could be offered as a promising candidate for bone regeneration in orthopedics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To develop biocompatible bony regeneration materials, allogenic, xenogenic and synthetic bones have been irradiated by an electron beam to change the basic structures of their inorganic materials. The optimal electron beam energy and individual dose have not been established for maximizing the bony regeneration capacity in electron beam irradiated bone. RESULTS Commercial products consisting of four allogenic bones, six xenogenic bones, and six synthetic bones were used in this study. We used 1.0-MeV and 2.0 MeV linear accelerators (power: 100 KW, pressure; 115 kPa, temperature; -30 to 120°C, sensor sensitivity: 0.1-1.2 mV/kPa, generating power sensitivity: 44.75 mV/kPa, supply voltage: 50.25 V), and a microtrone with different individual irradiation doses such as 60 kGy and 120 kGy. Additional in vitro analyses were performed by elementary analysis using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In vivo clinical, radiographic, and micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) with bone marrow density (BMD) analysis was performed in 8- and 16-week-old Spraque-Dawley rats with calvarial defect grafts. CONCLUSIONS Electron beam irradiation of bony substitutes has four main effects: the cross-linking of biphasic calcium phosphate bony apatite, chain-scissioning, the induction of rheological changes, and microbiological sterilization. These novel results and conclusions are the effects of electron beam irradiation.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art on calcium orthophosphate (CaPO4)-containing biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials suitable for biomedical applications is presented. Since these types of biomaterials offer many significant and exciting possibilities for hard tissue regeneration, this subject belongs to a rapidly expanding area of biomedical research. Through the successful combinations of the desired properties of matrix materials with those of fillers (in such systems, CaPO4 might play either role), innovative bone graft biomaterials can be designed. Various types of CaPO4-based biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials those are either already in use or being investigated for biomedical applications are extensively discussed. Many different formulations in terms of the material constituents, fabrication technologies, structural and bioactive properties, as well as both in vitro and in vivo characteristics have been already proposed. Among the others, the nano-structurally controlled biocomposites, those containing nanodimensional compounds, biomimetically fabricated formulations with collagen, chitin and/or gelatin, as well as various functionally graded structures seem to be the most promising candidates for clinical applications. The specific advantages of using CaPO4-based biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials in the selected applications are highlighted. As the way from a laboratory to a hospital is a long one and the prospective biomedical candidates have to meet many different necessities, the critical issues and scientific challenges that require further research and development are also examined.

Abstract
In this study, graphene oxide (GO) nanoflakes (0.5 and 1 wt%) were incorporated into a gelatin-hydroxyapatite (GHA) matrix through a freeze drying technique and its effect to enhance mechanical strength and osteogenic differentiation was studied. The GHA matrix with GO demonstrated less brittleness in comparison to GHA scaffolds. There was no significant difference in mechanical strength between GOGHA0.5 and GOGHA1.0 scaffolds. When the scaffolds were immersed in phosphate buffered saline (to mimic physiologic condition) for 60 days, around 50-60% of GO was released in sustained and linear manner and the concentration was within the toxicity limit as reported earlier. Further, GOGHA0.5 scaffolds were continued for cell culture experiments, wherein the scaffold induced osteogenic differentiation of human adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells without providing supplements like dexamethasone, L-ascorbic acid and β glycerophosphate in the medium. The level of osteogenic differentiation of stem cells was comparable to those cultured on GHA scaffolds with osteogenic supplements. Thus biocompatible, biodegradable and porous GO reinforced gelatin-HA 3D scaffolds may serve as a suitable candidate in promoting bone regeneration in orthopaedics.

Abstract
Precursors for the preparation of Si-CHA (silicon and carbonate substituted hydroxyl-apatite) were added in stoichiometric composition in amounts either 30 or 50 solid wt. % to a solution of gelatin to form hybrid nano-composite scaffolds (B(G/Si-CHA)). Temperature was maintained at 40°C and pH at 8 during the reaction. Glutaraldehyde was added to complete the cross-linking then washed. Thereafter, glycine was added to the product to get rid of any glutaraldehyde remnants. Both, 30 and 50% obtained scaffolds were compared with ones containing the same proportions from previously prepared nano powders of the Si-CHA named (C(G/Si-CHA)). The four types and a control one made of gelatin alone (G) were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission and scanning electron microscopy (TEM & SEM) and mercury porosimeter. In vitro study was carried out on the prepared scaffolds by immersing in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for different periods between 1and 28 days. The change in the percentage of the different ions with time in the solutions was followed. Results of IR showed the reaction of the carboxylic groups of gelatin with the added ingredients giving a homogeneous distribution of the inorganic phase formed (Si-CHA). High porosity reaching 94% was achieved with macro and micro pores without the addition of a porogen material.

Abstract
Surprisingly few reports have been published, to date, on the structure-property-processing correlations observed in freeze-cast materials directionally solidified from polymer solutions, or ceramic or metal slurries. The studies that exist focus on properties of sintered ceramics, that is materials whose structure was altered by further processing. In this contribution, we report first results on correlations observed in alumina-chitosan-gelatin composites, which were chosen as a model system to test and compare the effect of particle size and processing parameters on their mechanical properties at a specific composition. Our study reveals that highly porous (>90%) hybrid materials can be manufactured by freeze casting, through the self-assembly of a polymer and a ceramic phase that occurs during directional solidification, without the need of additional processing steps such as sintering or infiltration. It further illustrates that the properties of freeze-cast hybrid materials can independently be tailored at two levels of their structural hierarchy, allowing for the simultaneous optimization of both mechanical and structural requirements. An increase in freezing rate resulted in decreases in lamellar spacing, cell wall thickness, pore aspect ratio and cross-sectional area, as well as increases in both Young's modulus and compressive yield strength. The mechanical properties of the composite scaffolds increased with an increasing particle size. The results show that both structure and mechanical properties of the freeze-cast composites can be custom-designed and that they are thus ideally suited for a large variety of applications that require high porosity at low or medium load-bearing capacity.

Abstract
Highly porous 45S5 Bioglass® scaffolds were fabricated by the foam replica method and successfully coated with a well attached gelatin layer by dipping and pipetting methods. Depending on macropore size of the scaffold and gelatin concentration, mechanically enhanced scaffolds with improved compressive strength in comparison to uncoated scaffolds could be obtained while preserving the high and interconnected porosity that is required for bone in-growth. Moreover, the scaffolds bioactivity by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) was investigated showing that gelatin coating preserves the intrinsic bioactivity of the Bioglass® scaffold. It was also shown that the gelatin layer can be loaded with tetracycline hydrochloride for developing scaffolds with drug delivery capability.

Abstract
In the last decades, increased knowledge about the organization, structure and properties of collagen (particularly concerning interactions between cells and collagen-based materials) has inspired scientists and engineers to design innovative collagen-based biomaterials and to develop novel tissue-engineering products. The design of resorbable collagen-based medical implants requires understanding the tissue/organ anatomy and biological function as well as the role of collagen's physicochemical properties and structure in tissue/organ regeneration. Bone is a complex tissue that plays a critical role in diverse metabolic processes mediated by calcium delivery as well as in hematopoiesis whilst maintaining skeleton strength. A wide variety of collagen-based scaffolds have been proposed for different tissue engineering applications. These scaffolds are designed to promote a biological response, such as cell interaction, and to work as artificial biomimetic extracellular matrices that guide tissue regeneration. This paper critically reviews the current understanding of the complex hierarchical structure and properties of native collagen molecules, and describes the scientific challenge of manufacturing collagen-based materials with suitable properties and shapes for specific biomedical applications, with special emphasis on bone tissue engineering. The analysis of the state of the art in the field reveals the presence of innovative techniques for scaffold and material manufacturing that are currently opening the way to the preparation of biomimetic substrates that modulate cell interaction for improved substitution, restoration, retention or enhancement of bone tissue function.

Lee HY, Jin GZ, Shin US, Kim JH, Kim HW. Novel porous scaffolds of poly(lactic acid) produced by phase-separation using room temperature ionic liquid and the assessments of biocompatibility. JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE. MATERIALS IN MEDICINE 2012; 23:1271-1279. [PMID: 22382734 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-012-4588-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2011] [Accepted: 02/13/2012] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Here we prepared three-dimensional (3D) porous-structured biodegradable polymer scaffolds for tissue regeneration using room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as a novel porogen, and addressed their biological properties, including in vitro cell growth and differentiation and in vivo tissue compatibility. RTIL based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([bmim]) bearing hydrophilic anion Cl was introduced within the polymer structure to provide a pore network. A mixture of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with RTIL dissolved in an organic solvent formed a bi-continuous network during the drying process. Selective dissolution of the RTIL phase was facilitated in ethanol, which resulted in a porous network of the polymer phase with complete removal of the RTIL. The RTILs-assisted porous scaffolds showed a typical open-channeled network with pore sizes over 100 μm and porosities of about 86-94%. For the biocompatibility assessments of the scaffolds, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from rat bone marrow were seeded onto the PLA scaffold, and the cell proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation behaviors were examined. Results showed a typical on-going increase in the cell population with a level comparable to that observed on the tissue culture plastic control, indicating good cell compatibility. When cultured in an osteogenic medium, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the cells on the PLA scaffolds was stimulated to increase with time from 7 to 14 days, in a similar manner to that on the control. Moreover, the expression of genes related to osteoblasts, including collagen type I, osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein, was stimulated on the 3D PLA scaffold during culture for up to 14 days, with levels higher than those on the control, suggesting the developed scaffold provided a 3D matrix condition for osteogenesis. An in vivo pilot study conducted subcutaneously in rat for 4 weeks revealed good tissue compatibility of the scaffold, with the ingrowth of cells and formation of collageneous tissue around and deep within the pores of the scaffold and no significant inflammatory reaction. Taken together, this novel method of using RTILs as a pore generator is considered to be useful in the development of biocompatible porous polymer scaffolds for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, a genipin cross linked scaffold containing nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp) and carboxymehthyl chitosan (CMCS) was developed by freeze drying technique. The scaffolds were characterized using FTIR, XRD and SEM. The cytotoxicity of the scaffolds was compared with scaffolds cross linked by glutaraldehyde, and the Young’s modulus was also tested. FTIR and XRD results indicated that CMCS’s hydroxyl group, amino and amide regulated the n-HAp crystallization process, which results in the nano homogenous distribution of n-HAp and provided nano topographical features for nanohybrid scaffolds. SEM images revealed the scaffolds had porous structure and the pores were interconnected with an average diameter of 150 μm, which was profit for the growth of tissues. Cell morphology showed the genipin cross linked scaffolds had less toxicity and more facility for adhesion and proliferation of cells. Great mechanical properties of the scaffolds indicate their potential use in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art of biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials based on calcium orthophosphates that are suitable for biomedical applications is presented in this review. Since these types of biomaterials offer many significant and exciting possibilities for hard tissue regeneration, this subject belongs to a rapidly expanding area of biomedical research. Through successful combinations of the desired properties of matrix materials with those of fillers (in such systems, calcium orthophosphates might play either role), innovative bone graft biomaterials can be designed. Various types of biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials based on calcium orthophosphates, either those already in use or being investigated for biomedical applications, are extensively discussed. Many different formulations, in terms of the material constituents, fabrication technologies, structural and bioactive properties as well as both in vitro and in vivo characteristics, have already been proposed. Among the others, the nanostructurally controlled biocomposites, those containing nanodimensional compounds, biomimetically fabricated formulations with collagen, chitin and/or gelatin as well as various functionally graded structures seem to be the most promising candidates for clinical applications. The specific advantages of using biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials based on calcium orthophosphates in the selected applications are highlighted. As the way from the laboratory to the hospital is a long one, and the prospective biomedical candidates have to meet many different necessities, this review also examines the critical issues and scientific challenges that require further research and development.

Abstract
A series of nano hydroxyapatite-gelatine composites with different dilute solutions of gelatine concentrations were synthesized by a thermally assisted low-power ultrasonic irradiation method. The gelatine hydroxyapatite, (Gel-HAP) nanoparticles were prepared using Ca(NO(3))(2) and KH(2)PO(4) in the presence of gelatine in an aqueous solution. The synthesised products were heat treated between 100 and 400°C. The effect of the addition of gelatine on the nucleation and growth of synthesised nano HAP was investigated. Characterisation was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The characterisation results indicate that gelatine has been appended to the nano HAP forming regular spherical shaped crystals of nano sized Gel-HAP.

Abstract
α-chitin hydrogel/nano hydroxyapatite (nHAp) composite scaffold have been synthesized by freeze-drying approach with nHAp and α-chitin hydrogel. The prepared nHAp and nanocomposite scaffolds were characterized using DLS, SEM, FT-IR, XRD and TGA studies. The porosity, swelling, degradation, protein adsorption and biomineralization (calcification) of the prepared nanocomposite scaffolds were evaluated. Cell viability, attachment and proliferation were investigated using MG 63, Vero, NIH 3T3 and nHDF cells to confirm that the nanocomposite scaffolds were cytocompatible and cells were found to attach and spread on the scaffolds. All the results suggested that these scaffolds can be used for bone and wound tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biomimetic gelatin (gel)-hydroxyapatite (HA) composites have been prepared for studying hard tissue engineering scaffolds. However, the biocompatibility test of this form of material using these three cell types, which are periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblast cells, human mesenchymal stromal cells (HMSc) and primary cells from human hip bone (HBc) has never been evaluated. The objective of this article is to prepare and evaluate the biocompatibility of gel-HA crosslinked scaffold for tissue engineering. Two different scaffolds were prepared: preparation (1), 2.5% gel/2.5% HA; preparation (2), 2.5% gel/5% HA. Three cell types including PDL, HMSc, and HBc were used. Assessment of biocompatibility and osteoblastic cellular responses was evaluated using a three-dimensional cell culture method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From SEM, it was observed that scaffold (1) exhibits stable porous formation with well-blended and dispersed HA powder. All three cell types were able to proliferate in both scaffolds. The HMSc and HBc got attached to the scaffolds to a significantly higher degree and subsequently proliferated more than PDL. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities of HMSc and HBc were stronger when cultured in scaffold (S1) than (S2). It was seen that the two scaffold preparations show good biocompatibility with all three cell types tested. The better cellular responses with scaffold (S1) than (S2) might be due to the different structural and morphological characteristics, that is, scaffold (S1) retained more small-sized apatite crystals and a better developed pore configuration than scaffold (S2). Based on these findings, the biomimetically synthesized composite scaffolds have the potential to be used in hard tissue regeneration and tissue engineering fields.

Abstract
Homogeneous nanocomposites composed of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and collagen were synthesized using a novel in situ precipitation method through dual template-driven. The morphological and componential properties of nanocomposites were investigated. The HAp particulates, in sizes of about 50-100 nm, were distributed homogeneously in the organic collagen hydrogel. Highly magnified TEM observation showed that HAp inorganic particles were composed of fine sub-particles (2-5 nm) without regular crystallographic orientation. Based on these homogeneous nanocomposites, a novel HAp/collagen nanocomposite scaffold with hierarchical porosity was prepared by multilevel freeze-drying technique. Compared to other conventional scaffolds for tissue engineering, this novel in situ method endows synthesized composite scaffolds with unique morphology-ultrafine HAp particles dispersed homogenously in collagen at nano level and the foam scaffold with hierarchical pore structures. The mechanical performance increased obviously compared with neat collagen. These results provided an efficient approach toward new biomimetic tissue scaffold for the biomedical applications with enhanced intensity/bioactivity and controlled resorption rates. This novel method, we expect, will lead to a wide application in many other hydrogel systems and may be useful for fabrication of various homogeneous inorganic/organic nanocomposites.

Abstract
One of the key challenges in tissue engineering is to understand the host response to scaffolds and engineered constructs. We present a study in which two collagen-based scaffolds developed for bone repair: a collagen-glycosaminoglycan (CG) and biomimetic collagen-calcium phosphate (CCP) scaffold, are evaluated in rat cranial defects, both cell-free and when cultured with MSCs prior to implantation. The results demonstrate that both cell-free scaffolds showed excellent healing relative to the empty defect controls and somewhat surprisingly, to the tissue engineered (MSC-seeded) constructs. Immunological analysis of the healing response showed higher M1 macrophage activity in the cell-seeded scaffolds. However, when the M2 macrophage response was analysed, both groups (MSC-seeded and non-seeded scaffolds) showed significant activity of these cells which are associated with an immunomodulatory and tissue remodelling response. Interestingly, the location of this response was confined to the construct periphery, where a capsule had formed, in the MSC-seeded groups as opposed to areas of new bone formation in the non-seeded groups. This suggests that matrix deposited by MSCs during in vitro culture may adversely affect healing by acting as a barrier to macrophage-led remodelling when implanted in vivo. This study thus improves our understanding of host response in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
This paper provides an extensive overview of published studies on the development and applications of three-dimensional bone tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds with potential capability for the controlled delivery of therapeutic drugs. Typical drugs considered include gentamicin and other antibiotics generally used to combat osteomyelitis, as well as anti-inflammatory drugs and bisphosphonates, but delivery of growth factors is not covered in this review. In each case reviewed, special attention has been given to the technology used for controlling the release of the loaded drugs. The possibility of designing multifunctional three-dimensional bone TE scaffolds for the emerging field of bone TE therapeutics is discussed. A detailed summary of drugs included in three-dimensional scaffolds and the several approaches developed to combine bioceramics with various polymeric biomaterials in composites for drug-delivery systems is included. The main results presented in the literature are discussed and the remaining challenges in the field are summarized with suggestions for future research directions.

Abstract
Collagen/hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocomposite thin films containing 10, 20, and 30 wt.% HA were prepared on commercially pure titanium substrates by the spin coating of their homogeneous sols. All of the nanocomposite coatings having a thickness of approximately 7.5 microm exhibited a uniform and dense surface, without any obvious aggregation of the HA particles. A minimum contact angle of 36.5 degrees was obtained at 20 wt.% HA, suggesting that these coatings would exhibit the best hydrophilicity. The in vitro cellular assays revealed that the coating treatment of the Ti substrates favored the adhesion of osteoblast-like cells and significantly enhanced the cell proliferation rate. The cells on the nanocomposite coatings expressed much higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels than those on the uncoated Ti substrates. Increasing the amount of HA resulted in a gradual improvement in the ALP activity. The nanocomposite coatings on Ti substrates also exhibited much better cell proliferation behaviors and osteogenic potentials than the conventional composite coatings with equivalent compositions, demonstrating the greater potential of the former as implant materials for hard tissue engineering.

Abstract
Mineralized collagen-glycosaminoglycan scaffolds designed for bone regeneration have been synthesized via triple co-precipitation in the absence of a titrant phase. Here, we characterize the microstructural and mechanical properties of these newly developed scaffolds with 50 and 75 wt.% mineral content. The 50 wt.% scaffold had an equiaxed pore structure with isotropic mechanical properties and a Ca-P-rich mineral phase comprised of brushite; the 75 wt.% scaffold had a bilayer structure with a pore size varying in the through-thickness direction and a mineral phase comprised of 67% brushite and 33 wt.% monetite. The compressive stress-strain response of the scaffolds was characteristic of low-density open-cell foams with distinct linear elastic, collapse plateau and densification regimes. The elastic modulus and strength of individual struts within the scaffolds were measured using an atomic force microscopy cantilevered beam-bending technique and compared with the composite response under indentation and unconfined compression. Cellular solids models, using the measured strut properties, overestimated the overall mechanical properties for the scaffolds; the discrepancy arises from defects such as disconnected pore walls within the scaffold. As the scaffold stiffness and strength decreased with increasing overall mineral content and were less than that of natural, mineralized collagen scaffolds, these microstructural/mechanical relations will be used to further improve scaffold design for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Hollow Microspheres of hydroxyapatite-polymer composite can be used as carriers in drug delivery and fillers in tissue engineering. Based on the concept of soft chemistry, a battery of technique is available in the literature to synthesize hollow microspheres, however, an economically viable synthesis route, having good control over the microarchitect and easy to be scaled up, is yet to be developed. Polymer matrix mediated synthesis of inorganic nanoparticles is known to synthesize nanoparticles with controlled morphology and dimensions. It is termed as biomimetic synthesis. Integrating the biomimetic synthesis of nano-particles and spray drying techniques, a novel process of producing hydroxyapatite-polymer composite hollow microspheres is briefly discussed here.

Abstract
Porous bioceramics with high porosity for bone tissue engineering were fabricated by the foam impregnation technique, but their mechanical strength was poor, only a mean compressive strength of 1.04+/-0.15 MPa and an mean elastic modulus of 0.1 GPa. In order to reinforce porous ceramics, the ceramic samples were immersed in 5% gelatin solution and gelatin coatings were formed on the inter-surface of their pores. It was found that the mean compressive strength value and the mean elastic modulus value of porous samples coated with gelatin were improved to 5.17+/-0.17 MPa and 0.3 GPa respectively without sacrificing their porosity greatly. Moreover composite samples were not as fragile as sintered ceramics. The results indicated that the gelatin coatings on the inter-surface of pores reinforced porous bioceramics effectively.

Abstract
Biodegradable, injectable and in situ photocrosslinkable macromers based on fumaric acid and polycaprolactone (PCLF) were prepared and characterized by FTIR, 1HNMR, and 13CNMR spectroscopy. The multifunctional macromers dissolved in N-vinyl pyrollidone (NVP) were photopolymerized by visible light irradiation in the presence of camphorquinone as photoinitiator. The photocrosslinking reaction was monitored by measuring shrinkage strain and shrinkage strain rate. The degree of photopolymerization reaction i.e. degree of conversion (DC%) was traced using FTIR spectroscopy. A three level factorial design was developed to study the effects of initiator concentration, NVP concentration, and molecular weight of PCLF upon photocrosslinking characteristics including degree of conversion and shrinkage strain. Results revealed that although neat PCLF was photopolymerized, but it was putty like after 220 seconds of irradiation and showed a very low degree of conversion (29%). Adding about 20% NVP caused a dramatic increase in its degree of conversion (63.33%). Increasing NVP up to 50% resulted in a decrease in DC% because of lower reactivity of NVP and leaving more unreacted NVP monomers. Sol fraction studies supported these results indicating that at higher NVP concentration, most of NVP and PCLF have not undergone the crosslinking reaction, leading to 55% decrease in DC%. Shrinkage strain measurement also confirmed the FTIR results.

Abstract
Bone and ligament injuries present the greatest challenges in connective tissue regeneration. The design of materials for these applications lies at the forefront of material science and is the epitome of its current ambition. Indeed, its goal is to design and fabricate reproducible, bioactive and bioresorbable 3D scaffolds with tailored properties that are able to maintain their structure and integrity for predictable times, even under load-bearing conditions. Unfortunately, the mechanical properties of today's available porous scaffolds fall short of those exhibited by complex human tissues, such as bone and ligament. The manipulation of structural parameters in the design of scaffolds and their bioactivation, through the incorporation of soluble and insoluble signals capable of promoting cell activities, are discussed as possible strategies to improve the formation of new tissues both in vitro and in vivo. This review focuses on the different approaches adopted to develop bioactive composite systems for use as temporary scaffolds for bone and anterior ligament regeneration.

Abstract
A one-pot strategy was first presented in this paper to synthesize gelatin/hydroxyapatite (HAP) composite microspheres in a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion. Using gelatin droplets as microreactors and colloid protective medium, needle-like nano-HAP crystals (5 nm x 60-100 nm) in form of clusters were homogeneously and orderly precipitated within gelatin matrix. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the as-prepared microspheres with an average diameter of 7.5 microm displayed a narrow particle size distribution, a high dispersity and a naturally porous structure. This microsphere material is expected to have a great potential for both controlled drug release and faster bone in-growth in bone tissue engineering.
