This study presents a bioinspired scaffold that utilizes mild photothermal stimulation to eliminate bacteria, recruit MSCs, and promote bone regeneration.
Bone fractures are often companied with poor bone healing and high rates of infection. Early recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is critical for initiating efficient bone repair, and mild thermal stimulation can accelerate the recovery of chronic diseases. Here, a bioinspired, staged photothermal effect-reinforced multifunctional scaffold was fabricated for bone repair. Uniaxially aligned electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers were doped with black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) to endow the scaffold with excellent near-infrared (NIR) responsive capability. Apt19S was then decorated on the surface of the scaffold to selectively recruit MSCs toward the injured site. Afterward, microparticles of phase change materials loaded with antibacterial drugs were also deposited on the surface of the scaffold, which could undergo a solid-to-liquid phase transition above 39 degrees C, triggering the release of payload to eliminate bacteria and prevent infection. Under NIR irradiation, photothermal-mediated up-regulation of heat shock proteins and accelerated biodegradation of BP NSs could promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and biomineralization. Overall, this strategy shows the ability of bacteria elimination, MSCs recruitment, and bone regeneration promotion with the assistance of photothermal effect in vitro and in vivo, which emphasizes the design of a bioinspired scaffold and its potential for a mild photothermal effect in bone tissue engineering.
