Background:

  • Polymer scaffolds are crucial for cell growth and therapeutic delivery in tissue engineering.
  • Microsphere-based scaffolds offer tunable properties for regenerative medicine applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create and characterize a novel hybrid scaffold using poly(beta-hydroxybutyrate-co-beta-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) microspheres embedded in a poly (L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) matrix.
  • To evaluate the scaffold's suitability for bone defect repair and potential in drug delivery systems.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of PLGA/PHBV hybrid scaffolds utilizing differential solubility in acetone.
  • Characterization of scaffold porosity, pore size distribution, and compressive strength.
  • In vitro evaluation of cell behavior on the hybrid scaffolds.

Main Results:

  • PLGA/PHBV scaffolds demonstrated high porosity (e.g., 81.273% for PLGA/30% PHBV) with pore sizes mainly between 50-200 µm.
  • Scaffold compressive strength increased with higher PHBV content.
  • Hybrid scaffold morphology did not negatively impact cell behavior, indicating good biocompatibility.

Conclusions:
