Injectable chitosan-hydroxyapatite hydrogels promote the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells

Abstract: Injectable hydrogels have emerged as promising biomaterials for tissue engineering applications. The goal of this study was to evaluate the potential of a pH-responsive chitosan-hydroxyapatite hydrogel to be used as a three-dimensional support for encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) osteogenic differentiation. In vitro enzymatic degradation of the hydrogel, during 28 days of incubation, in simulated physiological condiditons, was characterized by swelling measurements, molecular weight determination and… Show more

“…Their results proved the effectiveness of the reinforcement promoted by HAp in the composite produced, resulting in an appreciable increase in Young's modulus. Among the most commonly used natural polymers in combination with HAp, we have collagen [208][209][210], chitosan [211][212][213] and gelatin [214], which promote cell growth due to their similar structure to the extracellular matrix of bone tissue. However, they have an uncontrollable regeneration rate, making them difficult to be used and difficult to handle and process.…”

“…Therefore, trace metals found in the living organisms were used to prepare biocompatible chitosan hydrogels. These were modified by copper (II) ions through complexation interactions and yielded a less stable cytocompatible to more stable cytotoxic structure for a copper-chitosan system [106,107].…”
