Hybrid Biomaterial with Conjugated Growth Factors and Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Ectopic Bone Formation

Abstract: Bone is a highly vascularized tissue and efficient bone regeneration requires neovascularization, especially for critical-sized bone defects. We developed a novel hybrid biomaterial comprising nanocalcium sulfate (nCS) and fibrin hydrogel to deliver mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and angiogenic factors, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9), to promote neovascularization and bone formation. MSC and growth factor(s)-loaded scaffolds were implanted subcutaneously into mic… Show more

“…Other relevant GFs are, for example, VEGF and FGF9, because of their proangiogenic function that is particularly useful to enhance vessel formation and promote their stabilization and nutrient supply in the first phases of bone regeneration [ 19 , 118 ]. VEGF and FGF9 have been used either alone or in combination, evaluating different methods of GF conjugation to scaffold matrix, such as crosslinking into fibrin gels with Factor XIIIa [ 119 ].…”

“…Fibrin hydrogel (FH) can be easily made by mixing fibrinogen with thrombin at 37°C. The mechanical properties of FH can be controlled by changing the concentration of fibrinogen [ 9 ] and can be decorated with bioactive signals making it an ideal scaffold for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine [ 10 13 ]. Moreover, fibrinogen and thrombin can be harvested from the patient's own blood, therefore FH can eliminate the immune rejection and viral transmission [ 14 ].…”
