DLP fabrication of HA scaffold with customized porous structures to regulate immune microenvironment and macrophage polarization for enhancing bone regeneration

The immune microenvironment plays a pivotal role in osteoanagenesis. Biomaterials can modulate osteogenic efficacy by inducing specific local immune reactions. As 3D-printing technology advances, digital light projection printing has emerged as a promising method for creating large scale, high-preci...

description The immune microenvironment plays a pivotal role in osteoanagenesis. Biomaterials can modulate osteogenic efficacy by inducing specific local immune reactions. As 3D-printing technology advances, digital light projection printing has emerged as a promising method for creating large scale, high-precision biomaterial scaffolds. By adjusting the solid content and the sintering conditions during printing, the pore size of biomaterials can be meticulously controlled. Yet, the systematic influence of pore size on the immune microenvironment remains uncharted. We fabricated 3D-printed hydroxyapatite bioceramic scaffolds with three distinct pore sizes: 400 μm, 600 μm, and 800 μm. Our study revealed that scaffolds with a pore size of 600 μm promote macrophage M2 polarization, which is achieved by upregulating interferon−beta and HIF-1α production. When these materials were implanted subcutaneously in rats and within rabbit skulls, we observed that the 600 μm scaffolds notably improved the long-term inflammatory response, fostered vascular proliferation, and augmented new bone growth. This research paves the way for innovative therapeutic strategies for treating large segmental bone defects in clinical settings.
