Abstract
AbstractAutografts and allografts are currently considered the gold standard for grafting surgery; however, to meet the growing demand in fast-aging societies, synthetic biomaterials will play an increasingly important role. Here we report a biodegradable scaffold material composed of recombinant polypeptide based on the human type I collagen alpha 1 chain (RCPhC1) as a source of hydrogel-based graft materials. The flexibility to engineer ideal characteristics for bone grafts was demonstrated. The critical internal isotropic pore structure was generated through a designed thin-layer freeze casting process. The optimized biodegradation rate was controlled by dehydrothermal crosslinking by adjusting the amino acid composition of RCPhC1. As a result, RCPhC1 bone grafts manufactured by a highly scalable streamlined production protocol induced robust regeneration of mature bone tissue while being completely resorbed in pre-clinical animal models.
