Abstract (original English)

The aim of this in vitro study is to investigate the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASC) on Trabecular Titanium scaffolds manufactured with different manufacturing processes (EBM and SLM). The in vitro adhesion and proliferation of hASC on titanium scaffolds with WST assays have been carried out. The comparison of the gene expression profiles of typical bone genes ( Alp , Bglap , Col1a1 , and Osx ) through real-time PCR assays and the evaluation of extracellular matrix composition with immunofluorescence and SEM analysis have been performed. In addition, the possible osteoinductive properties of the two scaffolds have been investigated through real-time PCR and ALP assays. Data showed that Trabecular Titanium supports human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell colonization and induces differentiation in bone with the deposition of the abundant extracellular mineralized matrix regardless of the manufacturing process, proving that the micro- and macro-design features are the key factors responsible for the osteoinduction behavior. These features can only be achieved through tailored 3D printing process parameters.
