Abstract (original English)
Bioengineering scaffolds have been improved to achieve efficient regeneration of various damaged tissues. In this study, we attempted to fabricate mechanically and biologically activated 3D printed scaffold in which porous gelatin/hydroxyapatite (G/H) as a matrix material provided outstanding mechanical properties with recoverable behavior, and human placental extracts (hPE) embedded in the scaffold were used as bioactive components. Methods: Various cell types (human adipose-derived stem cells; hASCs, pre-osteoblast; MC3T3-E1, human endothelial cell line; EA.hy926, and human dermal fibroblast; hDFs) were used to assess the effect of the hPE on cellular responses. High weight fraction (~ 70 wt%) of hydroxyapatite (HA) in a gelatin solution supplemented with glycerol was used for the G/H scaffold fabrication, and the scaffolds were immersed in hPE for the embedding (G/H/hPE scaffold). The osteogenic abilities of the scaffolds were investigated in cultured cells (hASCs) assaying for ALP activity and expression of osteogenic genes. For the in vivo test, the G/H and G/H/hPE scaffolds were implanted in the rat mastoid obliteration model. Results: The G/H/hPE scaffold presented unique elastic recoverable properties, which are important for efficient usage of implantable scaffolds. The effects of G/H and G/H/hPE scaffold on various in vitro cell-activities including non-toxicity, bioc
