Abstract
Bone defects with uncontrolled hemorrhage significantly threaten patient survival, and traditional hemostatic agents are insufficient to synergistically treat noncompressible bone bleeding and enhance healing. Thus, developing a multifunctional material with excellent hemostatic and osteogenic performance is highly desirable. Herein, porous methacrylate-modified gelatin (GelMA)/Laponite (LAP) nanocomposite hydrogel (GLNH) via freeze-induced physicochemical cross-linking are readily constructed to treat bone defects with intractable bleeding. Porous GLNH exhibits a remarkable absorption capacity of up to 20 times, along with excellent physiological stability, adjustable pore size, and outstanding shape recovery capacity. In addition, porous GLNH demonstrates excellent biocompatibility and enhances osteogenesis by up-regulating the expression of osteo-specific genes. In a rat skull defect, porous GLNH exhibits favorable hemostatic effect, low inflammation, and improved bone repair. Overall, the multifunctional porous GLNH holds great potential for treating bone defects with intractable bleeding.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is a well-established international journal dedicated to research on the chemical and biological aspects of natural macromolecules. Focusing on proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids, the journal presents the latest findings in molecular structure, properties, biological activities, interactions, modifications, and functional properties. Papers must offer new and novel insights, encompassing related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments, and analytical techniques. Each paper is required to primarily focus on at least one named biological macromolecule, reflected in the title, abstract, and text.
