ABSTRACT
Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a pivotal field addressing the critical clinical needs of bone fractures. This study focused on developing multi-composite hydrogels by synergizing biocompatible GelMA macromolecules with synthetic PEGDA and reinforcing them with nanosilicates (SN). The incorporation of SN introduces crucial trace elements such as silicon, magnesium, and lithium, promoting both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Characterizations revealed that PEGDA significantly reinforced the composite hydrogels' stability, while SN further enhanced the mechanical integrity of the GelMA-PEGDA-SN (GPS) hydrogels. Cell studies designated that GPS improved cell proliferation and migration, angiogenic VEGF/eNOS expression and osteogenic differentiation. In vivo experiments showed that GPS hydrogels effectively enhanced calvarial bone healing, with the GPS-2 formulation (2â¯% SN) displaying superior bone coverage and increased vascular formation. Assessments of osteogenic formation and the angiogenic marker CD31 validated the comprehensive bone regeneration potential of GPS hydrogels. These findings highlight the significant promise of GPS hydrogels in fostering bone healing with promoted angiogenesis.
