Popis: Approaches to regenerating bone often rely on integrating biomaterials and biological signals in the form of cells or cytokines. However, from a translational point of view, these approaches are challenging due to the sourcing and quality of the biologic, unpredictable immune responses, complex regulatory paths, and high costs. We describe a simple manufacturing process and a material-centric 3D-printed composite scaffold system (CSS) that offers distinct advantages for clinical translation. The CSS comprises a 3D-printed porous polydiolcitrate-hydroxyapatite composite elastomer infused with a polydiolcitrate-graphene oxide hydrogel composite. Using a micro-continuous liquid interface production 3D printer, we fabricate a precise porous ceramic scaffold with 60 wt% hydroxyapatite resembling natural bone. The resulting scaffold integrates with a thermoresponsive hydrogel composite in situ to fit the defect, which is expected to enhance surface contact with surrounding tissue and facilitate biointegration. The antioxidative properties of citrate polymers prevent long-term inflammatory responses. The CSS stimulates osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Within 4 weeks in a calvarial critical-sized bone defect model, the CSS accelerated ECM deposition (8-fold) and mineralized osteoid (69-fold) compared to the untreated. Through spatial transcriptomics, we demonstrated the comprehensive biological processes of CSS for prompt osseointegration. Our material-centric approach delivers impressive osteogenic properties and streamlined manufacturing advantages, potentially expediting clinical application for bone reconstruction surgeries.
