Bioinspired polydopamine coating‐assisted electrospun polyurethane‐graphene oxide nanofibers for bone tissue engineering application

To investigate the potential of biomaterials for bone repair, Ginkgo biloba (GB)-loaded polylactic- co-glycolic acid microspheres were synthesized via solvent evaporation technique, and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) micrographs indicated a spherical and smooth surface in which the particles were distributed in the range of 1–7 µm. Chitosan–hydroxyapatite (HA) matrixes incorporated with polymeric spheres were fabricated using the freeze-drying method. SEM micrographs demonstrated an interconnected porous structure in which porosity and pore size reduced as a function of HA and microsphere addition. Fourier transform infrared spectrum illustrated the ability of sodium tripolyphosphate in cross-linking of composite scaffolds. Swelling ratio presented that higher amount of microspheres and the addition of HA reduce the ability of interaction with water molecules. The GB release behavior of hybrid scaffolds confirmed that the addition of HA significantly reduces release ratio because of a slight reduction in pore size and PBS absorption capacity, but higher amount of microspheres resulted in an increase in release level. According to the results, the synthesized hybrid scaffolds have the initial physicochemical features for further studies in terms of in vitro and in vivo assays.

“…Several in vitro studies have demonstrated that PDA and DOPA coatings are effective in promoting stem cells and osteoblasts adhesion and growth on different fibrous scaffolds [ 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 ]. For example, a recent study has investigated the behavior of osteoblast-like cells exposed to a PDA-coated polyurethane (PU)-GO electrospun scaffold [ 130 ]. PDA deposition did not affect the structure of the PU-GO scaffold but significantly improved its hydrophilicity.…”

Melanin and Melanin-Like Hybrid Materials in Regenerative Medicine

Melanins are a group of dark insoluble pigments found widespread in nature. In mammals, the brown-black eumelanins and the reddish-yellow pheomelanins are the main determinants of skin, hair, and eye pigmentation and play a significant role in photoprotection as well as in many biological functions ensuring homeostasis. Due to their broad-spectrum light absorption, radical scavenging, electric conductivity, and paramagnetic behavior, eumelanins are widely studied in the biomedical field. The continuing advancements in the development of biomimetic design strategies offer novel opportunities toward specifically engineered multifunctional biomaterials for regenerative medicine. Melanin and melanin-like coatings have been shown to increase cell attachment and proliferation on different substrates and to promote and ameliorate skin, bone, and nerve defect healing in several in vivo models. Herein, the state of the art and future perspectives of melanins as promising bioinspired platforms for natural regeneration processes are highlighted and discussed.

Graphene oxide incorporated polycaprolactone/chitosan/collagen electrospun scaffold: Enhanced osteogenic properties for bone tissue engineering

This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and biological activity of the polycaprolactone/chitosan/collagen scaffolds incorporated with 0, 0.5, 3, and 6 wt% of graphene oxide (GO). Using standard tests and MG-63 cells, the characteristics of scaffolds were evaluated, and the behavior of osteoblasts were simulated, respectively. A non-significant decrease in nanofibers diameter was noted in scaffolds with a higher ratio of GO. The hydrophilicity and bioactivity of the scaffold surface, as well as cell attachment and proliferation, increased in correspondence to an increase in GO. The higher ratio of GO also improved the osteogenesis activity.GO increased the degradation rate, but it was negligible and seemed not enough to endanger stability. Modifying the scaffolds with GO did not make a significant change to the antibacterial effect.
