Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Critical size bone defects often lead to insufficient bone regeneration due to damage exceeding the body's self-healing capacity.
  • Bone tissue engineering scaffolds offer a promising solution by mimicking natural bone structure and providing biological support.
  • Chitosan is a biocompatible material with potential for bone repair, influencing macrophage polarization, angiogenesis, and bone remodeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the structure, biological properties, and osteogenic mechanisms of chitosan for bone repair.
  • To explore various chitosan preparation methods and applications in bone defect treatment.
  • To evaluate the impact of combining chitosan with bioactive substances for enhanced bone regeneration.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of chitosan's role in bone tissue engineering.
  • Analysis of chitosan's biological activities and molecular mechanisms in osteogenesis.
  • Examination of different chitosan scaffold types (rigid, hydrogel, membranes, microspheres).

Main Results:

  • Chitosan exhibits favorable biocompatibility and influences key cellular processes in bone repair.
  • Pure chitosan's efficacy is limited, necessitating combination with other bioactive agents for optimal results.
  • Chitosan can be prepared in various forms to suit specific bone defect requirements.

Conclusions:

  • Chitosan-based scaffolds are valuable for bone defect treatment, offering tunable properties and biological activity.
  • Optimizing chitosan scaffolds through combination with bioactive substances is crucial for effective bone regeneration.
  • Further research into chitosan's molecular mechanisms and scaffold design will advance its clinical application in bone repair.
