Effective enzyme stabilization through immobilization is essential for the functional usage of enzymatic reactions. We propose a new method for synthesizing elastic hydroxyapatite microgel (E-HAp-M) materials and immobilizing lipase using this mesoporous mineral via the ship-in-a-bottle-neck strategy. The physicochemical parameters of E-HAp-M were thoroughly studied, revealing that E-HAp-M provides efficient space for enzyme immobilization. As a model enzyme, lipase (LP) was entrapped and then cross-linked enzyme structure, preventing leaching from mesopores, resulting in highly active and stable LP/E-HAp-M composites. By comparing LP activity under different temperature and pH conditions, it was observed that the cross-linked LP exhibited improved thermal stability and pH resistance compared to the free enzyme. In addition, they demonstrated a 156% increase in catalytic activity compared with free LP in hydrolysis reactions at room temperature. The immobilized LP maintained 45% of its initial activity after 10 cycles of recycling and remained stable for over 160 days. This report presents the first demonstration of a stabilized cross-linked LP in E-HAp-M, suggesting its potential application in enzyme-catalyzed processes within biocatalysis technology.

Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) composites represent one of the most promising approaches to overcoming the weak osseointegration associated with the bioinertness of PEEK, making them highly suitable for clinical translation. Implants with porous structures fabricated by additive manufacturing offer the potential for long-term stability by promoting bone ingrowth. However, despite the importance of porous design, there is still no consensus on the optimal approach for PEEK-based composites.

The emergence of degradable orthopedic implants for fracture fixation may abrogate the need for implant removal surgery and minimize pain associated with permanent implants. Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are being explored as a biomaterial for degradable implants due to mechanical properties similar to those of bone. Previous in vitro studies have determined the degradation rate of pure Mg to be relatively fast when compared to bone regeneration.

Caries is a chronic oral disease causing a series of complications. This study aims to develop a material that could remineralize demineralized enamel and simultaneously exert antibacterial effects. A carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)/amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)/polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrochloride (PHMB) nanocomposite was synthesized for the first time, and its stability, remineralization ability, and antibacterial properties were investigated in this study.

Inorganic/organic hybrid biomaterials have been developed to obtain synergy of the inorganic and organic co-networks for implant and 3D printed scaffold applications, providing combinations of bioactivity, toughness and controlled biodegradation. SiO-CaO/PTHF/PCL-diCOOH sol-gel hybrids previously showed potential for osteogenesis due to the addition of calcium to the silicate network of the hybrid, using calcium methoxyethoxide (CME) as the calcium source. Here, we investigate other calcium sources to improve mechanical properties and printability of the hybrid inks.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examines how different amounts of hydroxyapatite (OHAp) and gelatin affect the crosslinking time and shear stress experienced by human dermal fibroblasts in alginate-based bioinks, which are important for 3D bioprinting.
  • Four bioink formulations were created with a mix of alginate and gelatin and various concentrations of OHAp, showing that higher OHAp levels improved the bioinks' properties like viscosity and elasticity.
  • Tests showed that fibroblasts had less than 1.54 Pa of shear stress during printing, and over 70% cell viability was maintained after 24 hours, with 92% viability after a week with the highest OHAp concentration, indicating these bioinks
