description Abstract Reconstruction of severe osteochondral defects in articular cartilage and subchondral trabecular bone remains a challenging problem. The well-integrated bilayer osteochondral graft design expects to be guided the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation for stem cells and provides a promising solution for osteochondral tissue repair in this study. The subchondral bone scaffold approach is based on the developed finer and denser 3D β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bioceramic scaffold process, which is made using a digital light processing (DLP) technology and the novel photocurable negative thermo-responsive (NTR) bioceramic slurry. Then, the concave-top disc sintered 3D-printed bioceramic incorporates the human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) laden photo-cured hybrid biohydrogel (HG + 0.5AFnSi) comprised of hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA), gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), and 0.5% (w/v) acrylate-functionalized nano-silica (AFnSi) crosslinker. The 3D β-TCP bioceramic compartment is used to provide essential mechanical support for cartilage regeneration in the long term and slow biodegradation. However, the apparent density and compressive strength of the 3D β-TCP bioceramics can be obtained for ~ 94.8% theoretical density and 11.38 ± 1.72 MPa, respectively. In addition, the in vivo results demonstrated that the hADSC + HG + 0.5AFnSi/3D β-TCP of the bilayer osteochondral graft showed a much better osteochondral defect repair outcome in a rabbit model. The other word, the subchondral bone scaffold of 3D β-TCP bioceramic could accelerate the bone formation and integration with the adjacent host cancellous tissue at 12 weeks after surgery. And then, a thicker cartilage layer with a smooth surface and uniformly aligned chondrocytes were observed by providing enough steady mechanical support of the 3D β-TCP bioceramic scaffold.
