Photocurable 3D-printed PMBG/TCP biphasic scaffold mimicking vasculature for bone regeneration
Mesoporous bioglass (MBG) with excellent osteointegration, osteoinduction, and biodegradability is a promising material for bone regeneration. However, its clinical application is hindered by complex processing and a lack of personalization, low mechanical strength, and uncontrollable degradation rate. In this study, we developed a double-bond-functionalized photocurable mesoporous bioglass (PMBG) sol that enabled ultrafast photopolymerization within 5 s. By further integrating nanosized tricalcium phosphate (TCP) particles through three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, we fabricated personalized and highly porous PMBG/TCP biphasic scaffolds. The mechanical properties and degradation behavior of the scaffolds were regulated by varying the amount of TCP doping. In vitro and in vivo experiments verified that PMBG/TCP scaffolds slowly released SiO4 4- and Ca2+, forming a vascularized bone regeneration microenvironment within the fully interconnected pore channels of the scaffold. This microenvironment promoted angiogenesis and accelerated bone tissue regeneration. Overall, this work demonstrates the solution to the problem of complex processing and lack of personalization in bioglass scaffolds, and the developed PMBG/TCP biphasic scaffold is an ideal material for bone regeneration applications with broad clinical prospects.
