In this study, an antibacterial degummed silk fiber (ADSF)/nano-hydroxyapatite/polylactic acid (ADSF/nHA/PLA) porous scaffold with antibacterial properties was prepared by using degummed silk fiber (DSF) loaded with silver nano-particles (Ag NPs) as a reinforcing material. In the experiment, ADSF and nHA were used as the main variables to investigate the effect of the change of the composition ratio on the performance of the composite scaffold, and a composite scaffold with excellent performance was obtained. Firstly, the DSFs were treated with dopamine (DA) and the silver ions were reduced to Ag NPs using the strong reducibility of polydopamine (PDA) to prepare ADSF loaded with Ag NPs. Finally, ADSF/nHA/PLA composite scaffolds with antibacterial properties were prepared using ADSF as a reinforcing material. In addition, samples were found to have good mineralization capacity in in vitro mineralization experiments. At the same time, in cell culture and antibacterial experiments, ADSF/nHA/PLA scaffolds were found to have good bioactivity, biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. All the results showed that the Ag NPs loaded DSF improved the performance of the nHA/PLA composite scaffold, while the ADSF/nHA/PLA had good bioactivity and antibacterial properties, making the antibacterial ADSF/nHA/PLA composite scaffold has a great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Large bone defects are still a persistent challenge in orthopedics. The availability limitations and associated complications of autologous and allogeneic bone have prompted an increasing reliance on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we developed an injectable scaffold combining an acellular extracellular periosteal matrix hydrogel with poly(d,l-lactate--glycol-acetate) microspheres loaded with the E7 peptide and miR217 (miR217/E7@MP-GEL).

The practical application of polyethylene glycol (PEG) phase change materials (PCMs) necessitates exceptional shape stability, rapid thermal responsiveness, and a substantial thermal storage capacity. The present study focuses on the fabrication of a highly robust cellulose nanofibril (CNF) based aerogel with an ordered structure, serving as a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold for PEG to effectively prevent any potential leakage. Additionally, hydroxyl and amino functional groups are introduced to functionalize boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS-g), which are incorporated into the aerogel to enhance its thermal conductivity.

Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) is distinguished by its exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability, qualities attributed to its similarity to the mineral component of human bone. This review discusses the synthesis techniques of nHA, highlighting how these methods shape its physicochemical attributes and, in turn, its utility in biomedical applications. The versatility of nHA is further enhanced by doping with biologically significant ions like magnesium or zinc, which can improve its bioactivity and confer therapeutic properties.
