Hydrogels are normally not robust enough to meet the repairing requirements of bone defects, therefore, cryogels of higher mechanical properties are developed as the more proper candidates for the purpose. In view of the organic-inorganic composition of natural bone tissues, hydroxyapatite (HA) is envisioned as a good additive for protein cryogels to achieve biomimetic compositions, additionally, as an excellent reinforcement to increase the mechanical properties of cryogels. In this study, methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) was synthesized and corresponding 3D-structured cryogel was fabricated, followed by the incorporation of HA nanowires (HANWs) at different amounts as reinforcements. The results showed that the GelMA/HANW composite cryogels possessed highly porous structure with HANWs being homogeneously distributed. The compressive strengths and mechanical stability of the composite cryogels were improved alongside the increasing contents of HANWs. These composite cryogels were proven non-cytotoxic, able to support cell proliferation and promote osteogenic differentiation ofbone mesenchymal stromal cells. More importantly, their porous structure allowed cell migration within the matrix, which was normally hard to be achieved in GelMA hydrogel. With improved performance, GelMA/HANW composite cryogels were thus possibly serving as a new type ofbone repair materials.
