Preparation and characterization of a novel drug-loaded Bi-layer scaffold for cartilage regeneration.

The incidence of articular cartilage defects is increasing year by year. In order to repair the cartilage tissue at the defect, scaffolds with nanofiber structure and biocompatibility have become a research hotspot. In this study, we designed and fabricated a bi-layer scaffold prepared from an upper layer of drug-dispersed gelatin methacrylate (GELMA) hydrogel and a lower layer of a drug-encapsulated coaxial fiber scaffold prepared from silk fiber (SF) and polylactic acid (PLA).

PDLLA/-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF Sustained-release Conduits for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration.

Using nerve guide conduits (NGCs) to promote the regeneration of PNI is a feasible alternative to autograft. Compared with NGCs made of single material, composite NGCs have a greater development prospect. Our previous research has confirmed that poly(D, L-lactic acid)/-tricalcium phosphate/hyaluronic acid/chitosan/nerve growth factor (PDLLA/-TCP/HA/CHS/NGF) NGCs have excellent physical and chemical properties, which can slowly release NGF and support cell adhesion and proliferation.
