Given that the progression of neuronal loss begins early in fetal life, an early coverage of the defect is required to improve the neurological outcomes. Several studies have proposed patches as an alternative to full surgical repair, to achieve an early protection of the spine and possibly reduce the rate of complications of current prenatal surgical procedures. In our previous work, we developed a biocompatible, watertight and biodegradable patch to improve in utero MMC repair. This patch offers an anti-adhesive internal surface to prevent adhesion to spinal cord tissue, and a bioactive external surface to promote tissue coverage. The aim of this study is to assess the patch's in vitro degradation in an amniotic-fluid-like medium and investigate the surface functionalization effect, to understand its mechanism and predict the patch's behavior over time. The study was carried out for 24 weeks in FBS medium and after each period the samples were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, steric exclusion chromatography, toluidine blue assay and contact angle measurement. The results revealed a progression of PCL hydrolysis over time, characterized by a decrease in molar mass and evidence of erosion as observed by SEM. Furthermore, this process appears to be accelerated by ozonation, compared to surface functionalization without ozonation. The latter can be considered as the most suitable technique to preserve the patch structure over time, while benefiting from the grafting polymers properties during the first weeks of implantation.</p>","PeriodicalId":15138,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Biomaterials Applications","volume":" ","pages":"1097-1114"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143065883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current treatments are limited, with autologous nerve grafts being the gold standard treatment for nerve injuries.

Tissue engineering seeks to improve nerve injury treatment though the use of nerve conduits. Conduits made from a functional biomaterial can be implanted into a nerve injury site encouraging and controlling axonal regrowth without causing additional harm to the patient. Both silk fibroin (SF) and hyaluronic acid (HA) have been proven successful in the field of neural tissue engineering. SF has excellent mechanical properties and is biocompatible. HA is part of the extracellular matrix and had been used in nerve regeneration applications. This study developed aligned combination SF-HA nanofibers through electrospinning that could be used within a nerve conduit. Both materials were methacrylated to allow for photocrosslinking and additional control over material properties. Methcrylated SF-HA was tested alongside a material containing only methacrylated HA that has already proven to be effective in literature. When characterizing the materials, it was found that through chemical methacrylation HA was substituted at 60% while SF reported a 30% substitution. Electrospun SF-HA nanofibers were found to have a greater diameter than HA fibers; however, SF-HA was found to be more aligned with greater surface hydrophobicity. Mechanically, it was found that both materials exceeded the elastic modulus of native tissue, but SF-HA far exceeded HA in elasticity and overall fiber extension. Furthermore, human Schwann cells attached, proliferated, and released more pro-regenerative growth factors on SF-HA than HA.
