Evaluation of poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/hydroxyapatite nanofibres for reconstruction of critical-sized segmental bone defects in a canine model

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The treatment of segmental bone defects is a challenging problem for both human and veterinary medicine. Various biomaterials have successfully been used to treat these defects. Numerous recent in vitro studies have shown the potential of treating bone tissues using poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/HAp) nanofibres, which are fabricated using electrospinning. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibility of using a bone scaffold of PLGA/HAp nanofibres to repair critical-sized… Show more

“…The nanofibrous structures mimic the natural extracellular matrix and provide a starting place for the cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation (Bhardwaj and Kundu 2010). Our nanofibrous structures were made by using electrospinning to mimic the bone marrow and were instilled with gelatine because it is suitable for cell adhesion on the electrospun nanofibre (Heo et al 2017). However, the bone defects transplanted with the PLGA/HAp nanofibrous scaffolds in our https://doi.org/10.17221/80/2019-VETMED study were not sufficiently filled with new bone tissue in Group 2.…”

“…21223, Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK). The electrospun PLGA/HAp was manufactured according to the method previously described by Heo et al (2017). Dissolution of the PLGA was performed by utilising methylene chloride (MC) and dimethylformamide (DMF) (Du Pont, Michigan, USA) at an 80/20 ratio to obtain a 10 wt% solution.…”

“…The manufacturing of nanofibers by electrospinning provided the possibility to fabricate scaffolds used for tissue reconstruction and regeneration. For example, biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/hydroxyapatite (PLGA/HAp) electrospun nanofibers were used as bone scaffold biomaterial to repair critical-sized segmental bone defects in a canine model [ 89 ]. Nanofibers have also been applied as scaffolds to support tissue-specific cell functions and tissue-mimicking systems for tissue/organ regeneration [ 90 ].…”
