Abstract
Bone defects, caused by trauma, osteomyelitis, or osteoporosis, represent a significant global health challenge in orthopedics. However, current bone repair strategies often neglect the critical role of the immune microenvironment, which can impede effective bone regeneration. To address this gap, we developed a 3D-printed triple crosslinked hydrogel scaffold incorporating slow-release glycopyrrolate (GA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), that it could promote bone regeneration by modulating the immune response. We evaluated their immunomodulatory and bone-regenerative effects through in vitro cellular experiments and rat cranial defect models. Results demonstrated that these scaffolds effectively modulated the immune microenvironment, reducing inflammation while promoting osteoblast differentiation and proliferation, thereby significantly enhancing new bone formation and density. In conclusion, our novel 3D-printed hydrogel scaffold offers a promising approach to bone defect repair through its unique combination of mechanical strength, immunomodulation, and osteogenesis. This study provides valuable insights into leveraging immunomodulatory agents for enhanced bone regeneration, highlighting potential clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
