nHA-loaded gelatin/alginate hydrogel with combined physical and bioactive features for maxillofacial bone repair
Carbohydrate Polymers(2022)
摘要
Critical-sized maxillofacial bone defects have been a tough clinical challenge considering their requirements for functional and structural repair. In this study, an injectable in-situ forming double cross-linked hydrogel was prepared from gelatin (Gel), 20 mg/mL alginate dialdehyde (ADA), 4.5 mg/mL Ca2+ and borax. Improved properties of composite hydrogel might well fit and cover irregular geometric shape of facial bone defects, support facial structures and conduct masticatory force. We innovatively constructed a bioactive poly-porous structure by decoration with nano-sized hydroxyapatite (nHA). The highly ordered, homogeneous and size-confined porous surface served as an interactive osteogenic platform for communication and interplay between macrophages and bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs). Effective macrophage-BMSC crosstalk well explained the remarkable efficiency of nHA-loaded gelatin/alginate hydrogel (nHA@Gel/ADA) in the repair of critical-size skull bone defect. Collectively, the composite hydrogel constructed here might serve as a promising alternative in repair process of complex maxillofacial bone defects.
