One of the key factors in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is to optimize the interaction between seed cells and scaffolds such that the cells can grow in naturally biomimetic conditions. Their similarity to macromolecules and many unique properties mean that functional nanoparticles have promising potential for the modification and improvement of traditional scaffolds to obtain excellent biocompatibility, tunable stiffness, physical sensing, and stimulus-response capabilities. In the present study, we report magnetic poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/polycaprolactone (PLGA/PCL) scaffolds that were fabricated using a combination of the electrospinning technique and layer-by-layer assembly of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). PLGA/PCL scaffolds assembled with gold nanoparticles were prepared using the same method for comparison. The results showed that the assembled film of nanoparticles on the surface greatly enhanced the hydrophilicity and increased the elastic modulus of the scaffold, which subsequently improved the osteogenesis of the stem cells. Furthermore, the magnetic property of the IONPs proved to be the key factor in enhancing osteogenic differentiation, which explained the superior osteogenic capacity of the magnetic scaffolds compared with that of the gold nanoparticle-assembled scaffold. These results demonstrated the importance of magnetic nanomaterials as a bioactive interface between cells and scaffolds and will promote the design of biomaterials to improve tissue engineering and regenerative medicine efficacy.
