Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Materials Chemistry

Background:

  • Bone tissue engineering seeks solutions for bone defects caused by trauma, infection, tumors, and surgery.
  • Polymer and bioactive material (BM) composites are promising for bone repair, but polymers often lack sufficient bioactivity.
  • Optimizing composite scaffolds is crucial for enhancing bone regeneration and clinical applicability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and characterize a novel bioactive material-sodium alginate (BM-Alg) composite scaffold.
  • To optimize the porous structure of the composite by varying the sodium alginate content.
  • To evaluate the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and angiogenic potential of the BM-Alg scaffold.

Main Methods:

  • Bioactive material (BM) synthesized from rice husk and eggshell precursors.
  • BM-Alg composite scaffolds prepared via a facile cross-linking approach.
  • Characterization using XRD, FTIR, SEM, BET; in vitro bioactivity in simulated body fluid (SBF); haemolysis, angiogenesis (ex ovo CAM model), and MG-63 cell cytotoxicity assays; in vivo biocompatibility assessment.

Main Results:

  • BM-Alg composite scaffolds exhibited optimized porous structures.
  • In vitro studies confirmed hydroxyapatite formation in SBF, indicating bioactivity.
  • Low haemolysis (<5%) and enhanced neovascularization in the CAM model were observed.
  • MG-63 cell studies and in vivo tests demonstrated excellent biocompatibility and non-toxicity.

Conclusions:

  • The developed BM-Alg composite scaffold is a promising biomaterial for bone tissue engineering.
  • The scaffold demonstrates favorable bioactivity, biocompatibility, and angiogenic properties.
  • This composite offers a potential solution for addressing bone defects and promoting bone regeneration.
