Background:

Minimally invasive surgery necessitates advanced bone defect repair solutions.
Current injectable bone constructs using dissociated cells face limitations.
Developing cell-based therapies for bone regeneration is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an injectable bone substitute using multicellular aggregates.
To evaluate the osteogenic potential and efficacy of these aggregates.
To compare aggregate-based therapy with traditional cell suspensions.

Main Methods:

Harvesting rabbit bone marrow stromal cells and forming multicellular aggregates.
Assessing in vitro osteogenic properties of aggregates (mineralization, ALP, osteocalcin).

Evaluating ectopic bone formation in nude mice and bone healing in rabbit mandibular defects.

Main Results:

Multicellular aggregates demonstrated significant in vitro osteogenic potential.
Aggregate injections led to larger, denser ectopic bone formation compared to cell suspensions.
Enhanced bone healing and cell survival were observed in the aggregate group in vivo.

Conclusions:

Multicellular aggregates represent a promising strategy for injectable bone tissue engineering.
This approach improves cell retention and bone regeneration efficacy.
The findings support the use of multicellular aggregates for bone defect repair and cell therapy.
