Published: September 2020

The purpose of this study is to develop a bioactive bone graft based on polycaprolactone (PCL, synthetic polymer; used in clinical practices as a grafting material for craniofacial bone defects) and hyaluronic acid (HA, bioactive natural polymer; known as a promoting substance for bone regeneration) that would be fabricated by clinically available procedures (mild condition without toxic chemicals) and provide bioactivity for sufficient period, and thus effectively induce bone reconstruction. For this, PCL/HA hybrid microspheres were produced by a spray-precipitation technique using clinically adapted solvents. The HA was stably and evenly entrapped in the PCL/HA hybrid microspheres. It was demonstrated that the PCL/HA hybrid microspheres provide an appropriate environment for proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of human periosteum-derived cells (PDCs) (in vitro) and allow significantly enhanced bone regeneration (in vivo) compared with PCL microspheres without HA. The PCL/HA hybrid microspheres can be a simple but clinically applicable bioactive bone graft for large-sized bone defects.

Near-field electrospinning (NFES) has recently gained considerable interest in fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds. This technique combines the advantages of both 3D printing and electrospinning. It allows for the production of fibers with smaller resolution and the ability to make regular structures with suitable pores.

Bone defects caused by cancer resection often require postoperative radiotherapy. Although various synthetic polymers have been introduced as graft materials, their biological behavior after radiation exposure remains unclear. Here, we investigated how polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) implants respond to therapeutic radiation exposure (in terms of volume and bone regeneration).

The aim of this study was to determine the suitability of hybrid scaffolds composed of naturally derived biopolymer gels and macroporous poly-epsilon-caprolactone (PCL) scaffolds for neocartilage formation in vitro. Rabbit articular chondrocytes were seeded into PCL/HA (1 wt % hyaluronan), PCL/CS (0.5 wt % chitosan), PCL/F (1:3 fibrin sealant plus aprotinin), and PCL/COL1 (0.
