Article Abstract

Precision porous scaffolds hold promise for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their ability to support cell ingrowth and vascularization and mitigate the foreign body reaction (FBR). In previous work, we demonstrated that vat photopolymerization 3D printing enables the fabrication of porous scaffolds with 40 μm interconnected cubical pores. This study aims to do a preliminary evaluation of cellular responses and the FBR to 3D-printed scaffolds with 40 μm cubical pores, in comparison with template-fabricated spherical pores (optimized for healing) and non-porous slabs (negative control). The results indicate that porous scaffolds, regardless of pore geometry, outperform non-porous structures in mitigating the FBR, promoting tissue regeneration, and triggering vascularization. This is the first paper demonstrating the pro-healing property of high-resolution 3D-printed 40 μm cubical pore scaffolds. These findings underscore the potential of 3D-printed porous scaffolds to advance patient-specific therapies, support soft (such as brain and blood vessel) and hard tissue (such as bone) repair, and improve healing outcomes in regenerative medicine applications.

Enhanced rotator cuff tendon-bone interface regeneration with injectable manganese-based mesoporous silica nanoparticle-loaded dual crosslinked hydrogels.

Introduction: During the healing process, the functional gradient attachment of the rotator cuff (RC) tendon-bone interface fails to regenerate, which severely impedes load transfer and stress dissipation, thereby increasing the risk of retears. As a result, the treatment of rotator cuff tears remains a significant clinical challenge.

Methods: In this study, a dual-crosslinked hyaluronic acid/polyethylene glycol (HA/PEG) hydrogel scaffold was synthesized using hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol as base materials.

3D scaffold architecture is critical for directing human neural stem cell (hNSC) fate and spatial organization. In this study, two-photon lithography (TPL) is used to fabricate microcapillary scaffolds based on the Hilbert space-filling curve as biomimetic basement membrane structures for guiding hippocampal-derived hNSC differentiation. The scaffolds feature 80 µm lumens with porous ellipsoidal membranes suspended above the substrate to provide topographical cues and permit nutrient diffusion while maintaining mechanical stability.

Coelectrolysis of HO and CO using high-temperature solid oxide cells offers a highly efficient solution for converting greenhouse gases into valuable fuels and chemicals. Although Pt is an effective catalyst for this reaction, its high cost has limited its usage. Herein, we present that Pt-containing alloy catalysts with increased entropy exhibit high Pt utilization efficiency, catalytic performance, and thermal stability.

Shape Memory Collagen Scaffolds Sustain Large-Scale Cyclic Loading.

Natural biopolymer hydrogels often suffer from relatively low moduli and an inability to maintain structure and mechanics under cyclic loading, limiting their utility in dynamic mechanical environments. Here, a cross-linked collagen cryogel scaffold was fabricated by precompression to densify the network. Following lyophilization, the porous scaffolds sustained >90% axial compressive strain with 200 cycles.

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) WE43 Magnesium Scaffold with EGCG/PDA-Functionalized Silk Fibroin Membrane for Antibacterial Osteoinductive Guided Bone Regeneration.

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a prominent focus in biomedical materials research, yet few studies address practical clinical needs. GBR membranes must fulfill the "PASS" principles to be effective in surgery, but existing membranes often fall short in balancing antibacterial activity, controlled degradation, osteoinductive potential, and mechanical support. In this study, we employed laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) to fabricate a porous WE43 magnesium alloy scaffold suitable for large alveolar bone defects.
