Abstract
Microscale carriers have emerged as promising materials for nurturing cell growth and as delivery vehicles for regenerative therapies. Carriers based on granular hydrogels have proved advantageous, where “microgels” can be formulated to have a broad range of properties to guide the behavior of adherent cells. Herein, the fabrication of osteogenic microgel matrices through the incorporation of laponite nanoclays is demonstrated. Forming a jammed suspension provides a scaffolding where cells can adhere to the surface of the microgels, with pathways for migration and proliferation fostered by the interstitial volume. By varying the content and type of laponite—RD and XLG—the degree of osteogenesis can be tuned in embedded populations of adipose-derived stem cells. The nano- and microstructured composite materials enhance osteogenesis at the transcript and protein level, leading to increased deposition of bone minerals and an increase in the compressive modulus of the assembled scaffold. Together, these microgel suspensions are promising materials for encouraging osteogenesis with scope for delivery via injection and stabilization to bone-mimetic mechanical properties after matrix deposition.
期刊介绍：
Advanced NanoBiomed Research will provide an Open Access home for cutting-edge nanomedicine, bioengineering and biomaterials research aimed at improving human health. The journal will capture a broad spectrum of research from increasingly multi- and interdisciplinary fields of the traditional areas of biomedicine, bioengineering and health-related materials science as well as precision and personalized medicine, drug delivery, and artificial intelligence-driven health science.
The scope of Advanced NanoBiomed Research will cover the following key subject areas:
▪ Nanomedicine and nanotechnology, with applications in drug and gene delivery, diagnostics, theranostics, photothermal and photodynamic therapy and multimodal imaging.
▪ Biomaterials, including hydrogels, 2D materials, biopolymers, composites, biodegradable materials, biohybrids and biomimetics (such as artificial cells, exosomes and extracellular vesicles), as well as all organic and inorganic materials for biomedical applications.
▪ Biointerfaces, such as anti-microbial surfaces and coatings, as well as interfaces for cellular engineering, immunoengineering and 3D cell culture.
▪ Biofabrication including (bio)inks and technologies, towards generation of functional tissues and organs.
▪ Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, including scaffolds and scaffold-free approaches, for bone, ligament, muscle, skin, neural, cardiac tissue engineering and tissue vascularization.
▪ Devices for healthcare applications, disease modelling and treatment, such as diagnostics, lab-on-a-chip, organs-on-a-chip, bioMEMS, bioelectronics, wearables, actuators, soft robotics, and intelligent drug delivery systems.
with a strong focus on applications of these fields, from bench-to-bedside, for treatment of all diseases and disorders, such as infectious, autoimmune, cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, neurological disorders and cancer; including pharmacology and toxicology studies.
