Background: Accumulation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow causes lytic bone lesions in 80% of multiple myeloma patients. Frequently fracturing, they are challenging to treat surgically. Myeloma cells surviving treatment in the presumably protective environment of bone lesions impede their healing by continued impact on bone turnover and can explain regular progression of patients without detectable minimal residual disease (MRD).

3D extrusion printing has been widely investigated for low-volume production of complex-shaped scaffolds for tissue regeneration. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) is used as a baseline material for the synthesis of biomaterial inks, often with organic/inorganic fillers, to obtain a balance between good printability and biophysical properties. The present study demonstrates how 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) addition and GelMA concentrations can be tailored to develop GelMA composite scaffolds with good printability and buildability.

A promising therapeutic option for the treatment of critical-size mandibular defects is the implantation of biodegradable, porous structures that are produced patient-specifically by using additive manufacturing techniques. In this work, degradable poly(DL-lactide) polymer (PDLLA) was blended with different mineral phases with the aim of buffering its acidic degradation products, which can cause inflammation and stimulate bone regeneration. Microparticles of CaCO, SrCO, tricalcium phosphates (α-TCP, β-TCP), or strontium-modified hydroxyapatite (SrHAp) were mixed with the polymer powder following processing the blends into scaffolds with the Arburg Plastic Freeforming 3D-printing method.

Article Synopsis
  • The European Space Agency (ESA) regularly updates its science plans by talking to scientists about what they need to know.
  • The SSCWP 9 document focuses on "Biology in Space" and discusses important questions that scientists want to answer about how living things adapt to space.
  • One big question is how different organisms change at the molecular level when they are in microgravity, which could help both space missions and new technologies on Earth.
