Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Tissue Engineering

Background:

  • Three-dimensional matrices are crucial for encapsulating and delivering stem cells in bone tissue engineering.
  • Developing defect-tuned formulations is key for successful stem cell delivery systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and evaluate a novel core-shell fibrous hydrogel carrier for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).
  • To assess the viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of encapsulated MSCs.
  • To investigate the efficacy of the carrier in promoting bone defect healing in vivo.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a core-shell hydrogel using collagen (core) and alginate (shell) with a custom core-shell nozzle.
  • Encapsulation of MSCs within the collagen core.
  • Characterization of hydrogel properties including fiber diameter, water uptake, and degradation rate.
  • Assessment of MSC viability, proliferation, and osteogenic gene expression in vitro.
  • In vivo implantation in a rat calvarium defect model to evaluate bone healing.

Main Results:

  • The core-shell hydrogel exhibited controlled fiber dimensions and high water uptake (98%).
  • Encapsulated MSCs demonstrated excellent viability and proliferation up to 21 days.
  • MSCs showed significant osteogenic differentiation, confirmed by bone-related gene expression.
  • Implantation in rat calvarium defects significantly improved bone healing, especially with pre-osteogenically induced MSCs.

Conclusions:

  • The novel core-shell collagen-alginate fibrous carrier is a promising system for encapsulating and delivering stem cells for bone tissue engineering.
  • The system supports cell viability and promotes osteogenic differentiation and bone regeneration.
  • Defect-tunable formulations offer potential for tailored therapeutic applications in regenerative medicine.
