Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Developing advanced scaffolds is crucial for tissue regeneration.
  • Existing scaffolds often lack optimal mechanical strength and bioactivity.
  • Modular designs offer a promising approach to combine material properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel modular scaffold for tissue engineering.
  • To investigate the effect of surface treatment on polycaprolactone (PCL) module bonding.
  • To evaluate the mechanical enhancement and bio-reactivity of the modular scaffold.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a modular scaffold using 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) and dual porosity gelatin foam.
  • Surface treatment of PCL via aminolysis-aldehyde process and comparison with NaOH hydrolysis.
  • Mechanical testing (compressive modulus, ultimate strength) of the modular scaffold.
  • Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) to assess dental pulp stem cell (DPSC) attachment.

Main Results:

  • Aminolysis-aldehyde surface treatment yielded superior interface bonding compared to NaOH hydrolysis.
  • The modular scaffold demonstrated over a 10-fold increase in compressive modulus and ultimate strength of the gelatin foam.
  • The gelatin foam exhibited a dual porosity network (100-300 μm primary, <10 μm secondary pores).
  • SEM confirmed excellent attachment of DPSCs to the bio-reactive gelatin foam module.

Conclusions:

  • A novel modular scaffold combining 3D-printed PCL and dual porosity gelatin foam was successfully developed.
  • The modular design significantly enhances the mechanical integrity of the gelatin foam.
  • The scaffold supports DPSC attachment, indicating potential for regenerative applications.
