Matrix vesicle-inspired delivery system based on nanofibrous chitosan microspheres for enhanced bone regeneration by Haolin Bian, Fangfang Song, Shilei Wang, Wei Sun, Bo Hu, Xichao Liang, Hongye Yang, Cui Huang

“…In vivo, NCMP effectively recruits cells and mineralizes collagen, modulates cell behavior and differentiation, and promotes in situ biomineralization in rat calvarial defects. These results underscore the dual efficacy of NCMP not only as an effective delivery system for mineralization precursors but also as ECM-mimicking bio-blocks, offering a promising avenue for enhancing the repair and regeneration of bone defects.…”

Citrate-modified bacterial cellulose as a potential scaffolding material for bone tissue regeneration. by Rabiu Salihu, Saiful Izwan Abd Razak, Mohd Helmi Sani, Mohammed Ahmad Wsoo, Nurliyana Ahmad Zawawi, Shafinaz Shahir

“…Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and compressive modulus were used to characterize the biomineralized MBC (BMBC) samples. Using 3-(4,5 dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl) -2H-tetrazolium (MTS), trypan blue dye exclusion (TBDE), and cell attachment assays on osteoblast cells, the developed BMBC have shown good cell viability, proliferation, and attachment after 3, 5, and 7 days of culture and therefore suggested as potential bone tissue regeneration scaffolding material.…”
