Injectable Hydrogels For Bone Regeneration: Mechanical Reinforcement Strategies Using Nanoparticles And Nanofibers: Review Paper, Fariba Ganji, Morteza Mirzagoli, Lobat Tayebi
Injectable Hydrogels For Bone Regeneration: Mechanical Reinforcement Strategies Using Nanoparticles And Nanofibers: Review Paper, Fariba Ganji, Morteza Mirzagoli, Lobat Tayebi
Electrical & Computer Engineering Faculty Publications
Background and Purpose: The growing demand for bone regeneration following severe injuries highlights the importance of scaffolds in bone tissue engineering (BTE). Injectable hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates because their properties closely mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM). However, their limited mechanical strength and structural instability restrict their practical application. Approach: This review summarizes recent strategies for reinforcing in situ-forming injectable hydrogels to improve their mechanical performance for bone regeneration. Particular emphasis is placed on nanomaterial-based strategies, including the incorporation of nanoparticles and nanofibers, and their ability to enhance the physical properties of polymeric networks. Key Results: Evidence from …

Nonunion fractures remain a major orthopedic challenge, highlighting the need for improved bone tissue engineering (BTE) strategies. This study hypothesized that incorporating Sr/Mg-doped 58S bioglass nanoparticles into 3D-printed alginate (Alg) scaffolds would improve their physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties and enhance bone regeneration. Structural characterization showed that Sr/Mg-doping reduced bioglass size and produced interconnected porous scaffolds. Under wet conditions, Alg scaffold incorporating 2.5%Sr/Mg-doped 58S bioglass showed the highest Young’s modulus (0.4356 ± 0.0244 MPa), whereas under dry conditions, the Alg scaffold incorporating 5%Sr/Mg-doped 58S bioglass achieved the highest value (0.1945 ± 0.0519 MPa). In vitro studies demonstrated biocompatibility and enhanced …

Osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability worldwide, challenging current treatments to limited cartilage self-healing capacity. Cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) integrates cells, scaffolds, and signaling molecules, with Insulin being utilized as a differentiation biomolecule due to cost-effectiveness, dose-dependent influence on chondrogenesis, suitable biological activity, and ability to activate relevant receptors. Yet, administering differentiation biomolecules through conventional scaffolds poses a persistent challenge. Alginate (Alg) is commonly employed in CTE for its biocompatibility, though it lacks sufficient mechanical properties. Chitosan (Cs), while enhancing scaffold mechanical properties, but does not independently provide optimal support for chondrogenesis. While Alg-Cs scaffolds have garnered attention, challenges …

Newer bone graft materials face various challenges in achieving optimal mechanical strength, bioactivity, and antibacterial action simultaneously, which can result in suboptimal regeneration outcomes and increased infection risks In the present study, we developed a novel nanocomposite of poly (xylitol-co-dodecanedioic acid) (PXDDA) and poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with 1-10 wt% incorporation of bioactive glass (BG), utilizing a a PXDDAco-PLA compatibilizer for maintaining homogeneity. Extensive characterization techniques including, Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauere Emmette Teller (BET), Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H NMR) and contact angle measurements, revealed that the addition …

Federated Learning (FL) is a promising machine learning approach for development of data-driven global model using collaborative local models across multiple local institutions. However, the heterogeneity of medical imaging data is one of the challenges within FL. This heterogeneity is caused by the variation in imaging scanner protocols across institutions, which may result in weight shift among local models leading to deterioration in predictive accuracy of global model. The prevailing approaches involve applying different FL averaging techniques to enhance the performance of the global model, ignoring the distinct imaging features of the local domain. In this work, we address both …

This paper aimed to evaluate the effects of different preparation parameters, including agitation speed, agitation time, and chilling temperature, on the structural and mechanical properties of a novel gelatin/elastin/sodium hyaluronate tissue engineering scaffold, recently developed by our research group. Fabricated using a combination of foaming and freeze-drying techniques, the scaffolds were assessed to understand how these parameters influence their morphology, internal microstructure, porosity, mechanical properties, and degradation behavior. The fabrication process used in this study involved preparing a homogeneous aqueous solution containing 8% gelatin, 2% elastin, and 0.5% sodium hyaluronate (w/v), which was then subjected to mechanical agitation at speeds …

A glioma grading method using conventional structural magnetic resonance image (MRI) and molecular data from patients is proposed. The noninvasive grading of glioma tumors is obtained using multiple radiomic texture features including dynamic texture analysis, multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis, and multiresolution fractal Brownian motion in structural MRI. The proposed method is evaluated using two multicenter MRI datasets: (1) the brain tumor segmentation (BRATS-2017) challenge for high-grade versus low-grade (LG) and (2) the cancer imaging archive (TCIA) repository for glioblastoma (GBM) versus LG glioma grading. The grading performance using MRI is compared with that of digital pathology (DP) images in the …
