AREA OF SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITY TISSUE ENGINEERED BIOCOMPOSITES FOR BONE REGENERATION Over the past decades, bone tissue engineering has undergone a considerable development and now demonstrates a great potential for improved treatment or replacement of damaged bone in comparison with conventional therapies. Engineering bone typically uses a scaffold, osteoblasts or cells that can become osteoblasts (i.e. adult mesenchymal stem cells) and regulating factors that promote cell adhesion, differentiation and bone formation. Therefore highly porous scaffolds have a critical role in cell seeding, proliferation and new tissue formation in three dimensions. Scaffolds are 3D substrates for cells and their main goal is to serve as templates for tissue regeneration. The ideal scaffold must be biocompatible, non-immunogenic, have an interconnected porous network to allow cell penetration and transfer of nutrients, oxygen and waste products. Scaffolds must be biocompatible, osteoconductive, osteointegrative, and have enough mechanical strength to provide structural support during bone growth and remodelling. In addition, scaffolds can serve as delivery vehicles for cytokines such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), transforming growth factors (TGFs) that can transform recruited precursor cells from the host into bone matrix producing cells, thus providing osteoconduction.

Parameters such as macroporosity, microporosity and pore interconnectivity (and a biocompatible and bioresorbable substrate with controllable degradation rate), are crucial. The scaffolds should mimic cancellous bone morphology, structure and function in order to optimize integration in the surrounding tissue. Collagen is the main structural protein present in the human body. The good biological properties of collagen, as well as its biocompatibility, biodegradability and easy processing have resulted its frequent use for biomedical applications, being widely used as gels, powders or films. Hydroxyapatite can be easily combined with other materials in order to improve its properties. Among other examples is hydroxyapatite combined with natural polymers, namelly collagen. For bone tissue engineering to be promising it requires the use of scaffolds combined with the appropriate cells to allow for new tissue formation and Angiogenesis. This is a crucial multifactor process, regulated by a number of factors including the action of the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The development of bioceramics for bone tissue engineering includes chemical and physical modifications such nanostructured and nanocrystalline HA materials and surface grafting using growth factors, living bone cells or proteins. Adhesive protein, like Fibronectin, contribute to the structural stability of extracellular matrix (ECM) playing an important role in cell attachment to biomaterials surfaces, playing a role in adhesion, growth, differentiation or migration. In bone, they are involved in the early stages of osteogenesis and might be able to nucleate mineralization. Another class of glycoproteins, the matricellular class of secreted glycoproteins that includes osteonectin, thrombospondins, tenascins and osteopontin, exhibit counteradhesive effects. Indeed these can lead to changes in cell shape resulting in the disruption of cell-matrix interactions and cell mobility often require on tissue renewal, tissue remodeling and embryonic development. Osteonectin has a strong affinity for hydroxyapatite. Bone osteonectin strongly binds to type I collagen and synthetic HA and can mediate the in vitro mineralization of the type I collagen. Although these two proteins are both important in bone mineralization or cell matrix adhesion, their role in such events is still far from being well understood. Osteopontin(OPN), osteocalcin(oc), sialoprotein (SP) or phospho-serine (SIBLING) are proteins of the extracellular bone matrix that very efficiently stimulate bone cell activities and bone healing. The modification of collagen/nanoha with these proteins seems to be a promising approach to mimic the situation in bone. The functionalization of the scaffolds should enhance cell adhesion and proliferation; also it would be favorable for mesenquimal stem cells differentiation in bone tissue. DOMAIN OF SPECIALIZATION Research work has been dedicated to developing biocomposites for bone regeneration. Surface modification with different bone proteins will be investigated. Implantation studies revealed the biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties of collagen and nanohydroxyapatite composites. Bone cells and mesenchymal stem cells have been studied on different biomateriais based on collagen conjugated with nanohydroxyapatite. PRESENT RESEARCH INTERESTS New biomaterials development to be applied on porous scaffolds production. These materials would be used for bone tissue regeneration through tissue engineering Christiane L. Salgado 2/7
strategies. Macroporous biocomposite materials based on a Collagen type I and III matrix and nanoha/ nanotcp aggregates distributed throughout the surface. The materials will be addressed to enable binding and delivery of growth factors to induce bone tissue regeneration and vascularization. This could involve growth factors encapsulation in the scaffolds. The studies will include in vitro cell cultures (bone cells, endothelial cells and / or stem cells). In vivo experimentation in small animal model (rat and mouse) will be carried out, aiming at foreseeing the behaviour of the scaffolds in regenerating bone at critical size defects or to analyze inflammation induction with subcutaneous implants.
