Polydopamine-induced biomimetic mineralization strategy to generate hydroxyapatite for the preparation of carbon fiber composites with excellent mechanical properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 277:134529. [PMID: 39111485 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/08/2024] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/04/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024]
Abstract
Living organisms have developed a miraculous biomineralization strategy to form multistage organic-inorganic composites through the orderly assembly of hard/soft substances, achieving mechanical enhancement of materials from the nanoscale to the macroscale. Inspired by biominerals, this study used polydopamine (PDA) coating as a template to induce the growth of hydroxyapatite (HAP) on the surface of carbon fibers (CFs) for enhancing the interfacial properties of the CF/epoxy resin composites. This polydopamine-assisted hydroxyapatite formation (pHAF) biomimetic mineralization strategy constructs soft/hard ordered structure on the CF surface, which not only improves the chemical reaction activity of the CFs but also increases the fiber surface roughness. This, in turn, enhances the interaction and loading delivery among the fibers and the matrix. Compared to the untreated carbon fiber/epoxy resin (CF/EP) composites, the prepared composites showed a substantial enhancement in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS), flexural strength, and interfacial shear strength (IFSS), with improvements of 45.2 %, 46.9 %, and 60.5 %, respectively. This can be attributed to the HAP nanolayers increasing the adhesion and mechanical interlocking with the CFs to the matrix. This study provides an interface modification method of biomimetic mineralization for the preparation of high strength CF composites.

A Composite Hydrogel Functionalized by Borosilicate Bioactive Glasses and VEGF for Critical-Size Bone Regeneration. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2400349. [PMID: 38713747 PMCID: PMC11234436 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202400349] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/09/2024]
Abstract
Critical-size bone defects pose a formidable challenge in clinical treatment, prompting extensive research efforts to address this problem. In this study, an inorganic-organic multifunctional composite hydrogel denoted as PLG-g-TA/VEGF/Sr-BGNPs is developed, engineered for the synergistic management of bone defects. The composite hydrogel demonstrated the capacity for mineralization, hydroxyapatite formation, and gradual release of essential functional ions and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and also maintained an alkaline microenvironment. The composite hydrogel promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), as indicated by increased expression of osteogenesis-related genes and proteins in vitro. Moreover, the composite hydrogel significantly enhanced the tube-forming capability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and effectively inhibited the process of osteoblastic differentiation of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL)-induced Raw264.7 cells and osteoclast bone resorption. After the implantation of the composite hydrogel into rat cranial bone defects, the expression of osteogenic and angiogenic biomarkers increased, substantiating its efficacy in promoting bone defect repair in vivo. The commendable attributes of the multifunctional composite hydrogel underscore its pivotal role in expediting hydrogel-associated bone growth and repairing critical bone defects, positioning it as a promising adjuvant therapy candidate for large-segment bone defects.

Abstract
Precise orchestration of cell fate determination underlies the success of scaffold-based skeletal regeneration. Despite extensive studies on mineralized parenchymal tissue rebuilding, regenerating and maintaining undifferentiated mesenchyme within calvarial bone remain very challenging with limited advances yet. Current knowledge has evidenced the indispensability of rebuilding suture mesenchymal stem cell niches to avoid severe brain or even systematic damage. But to date, the absence of promising therapeutic biomaterials/scaffolds remains. The reason lies in the shortage of fundamental knowledge and methodological evidence to understand the cellular fate regulations of scaffolds. To address these issues, in this study, we systematically investigated the cellular fate determinations and transcriptomic mechanisms by distinct types of commonly used calvarial scaffolds. Our data elucidated the natural processes without scaffold transplantation and demonstrated how different scaffolds altered in vivo cellular responses. A feasible scaffold, polylactic acid electrospinning membrane (PLA), was next identified to precisely control mesenchymal ingrowth and self-renewal to rebuild non-osteogenic suture-like tissue at the defect center, meanwhile supporting proper osteointegration with defect bony edges. Especially, transcriptome analysis and cellular mechanisms underlying the well-orchestrated cell fate determination of PLA were deciphered. This study for the first time cellularly decoded the fate regulations of scaffolds in suture-bony composite defect healing, offering clinicians potential choices for regenerating such complicated injuries.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic composites with high specific surface area and osteoinductivity provide a suitable microenvironment for cell ingrowth and effective ossification, which could greatly promote bone regeneration. Here, we report gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) cryogel microspheres that are reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanowires and calcium silicate (CS) nanofibers to achieve the goal. The prepared composite cryogel microspheres with open porous structure and rough surface greatly facilitate cell anchoring, simultaneously exhibiting excellent injectability. Compared to the only HA- or CS-containing counterparts, the GelMA cryogel microspheres composited with HA:CS (termed as GMHC) achieve sustained release of bioactive Ca, P, and Si elements, which are conducive to osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). These composite microspheres can prevent from forming peralkalic conditions, which is beneficial for cell growth. After injection of cryogel microspheres into rat calvarial defects, neo-bone tissue grows into their pores, showing tight integration. The embedded bioceramic components significantly promote bone regeneration, with the GMHC achieving the best regenerative outcomes. Promisingly, porous organic-inorganic composite cryogel microspheres, with high specific surface area, biodegradability, and osteoinductivity, can act as injectable microscaffolds to repair bone defects with enhanced efficiency, which may widen the scaffold strategy for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone defects have caused immense healthcare concerns and economic burdens throughout the world. Traditional autologous allogeneic bone grafts have many drawbacks, so the emergence of bone tissue engineering brings new hope. Bone tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary biomedical engineering method that involves scaffold materials, seed cells, and "growth factors". However, the traditional construction approach is not flexible and is unable to adapt to the specific shape of the defect, causing the cells inside the bone to be unable to receive adequate nourishment. Therefore, a simple but effective solution using the "bottom-up" method is proposed. Microspheres are structures with diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 µm that can be used as supports for cell growth, either in the form of a scaffold or in the form of a drug delivery system. Herein, we address a variety of strategies for the production of microspheres, the classification of raw materials, and drug loading, as well as analyze new strategies for the use of microspheres in bone tissue engineering. We also consider new perspectives and possible directions for future development.
