Extracellular matrices (ECMs) provide important cues for cell proliferation and differentiation in the complex environment, which show a significant influence on cell functions. Herein, cell-derived ECMs were deposited on the polydopamine (PDA)-decorated porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448) scaffolds fabricated by the electron beam melting method in order to improve biological functions. The influence of PDA-ECM coatings on cell functions was further investigated. The results demonstrated that the PDA-ECM coating facilitated adhesion, proliferation, and migration of MC3T3-E1 cells on Ti2448 scaffolds. Moreover, Ti2448-PDA-ECM scaffolds promoted osteogenesis differentiation of cells indicated by greater alkaline phosphatase activity and further mineralization, compared to the plain Ti2448 group. Meanwhile, Ti2448-PDA-ECM scaffolds enhanced bone growth after implantation for one month in rabbit femoral bone defects. Our findings suggest that the bioinspired PDA-ECM coating can be implemented on the porous Ti2448 scaffolds, which significantly improve the biological functions of orthopedic implants.

Repair of large bone defects remains challenge for orthopedic clinical treatment. Porous titanium alloys have been widely fabricated by the additive manufacturing, which possess the elastic modulus close to that of human cortical bone, good osteoconductivity and osteointegration. However, insufficient bone regeneration and vascularization inside the porous titanium scaffolds severely limit their capability for repair of large-size bone defects.

Biomaterial scaffolds, including bone substitutes, have evolved from being primarily a biologically passive structural element to one in which material properties such as surface topography and chemistry actively direct bone regeneration by influencing stem cells and the immune microenvironment. Ti-6Al-4V(Ti6Al4V) implants, with a significantly higher elastic modulus than human bone, may lead to stress shielding, necessitating improved stability at the bone-titanium alloy implant interface. Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448), a low elastic modulus β-type titanium alloy devoid of potentially toxic elements, was utilized in this study.

Titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb) are widely used for implants, which are characterized by high elastic modulus (∼110 GPa) with (α + β) structure and that may induce undesirable stress shielding effect and immune responses associated with the presence of toxic elements. In this regard, we have combined the attributes of a new alloy design and the concept of additive manufacturing to fabricate 3D scaffolds with an interconnected porous structure. The new alloy is a β-type Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448) alloy with significantly reduced modulus.
