Effect of different concentration of demineralized bone powder with gellan gum porous scaffold for the application of bone tissue regeneration.

The prevalence of bone-related diseases has increased, the population growth as a result of the aging phenomenon requires more effective treatments for regeneration of bone defect. Although an autogenous bone graft was used in traditional operation method, they are very inefficient in current bone defect surgery and very difficult to gather the required amount of bone for operation. It is becoming a gradually growing disease, hence there is a need for developing a new method for preparing biomimetic scaffolds. DBP (demineralized bone powder), a potent bone regeneration material, has a trace amount of ions and bone mineral component. Especially, GD (Gallus gallus var domesticus) DBP has a unique property, which has melanin, for strengthening bones, increasing ALP activity and bone mineralization, compared to other available biomaterials. For that reason, GD DBP was combined with GG (gellan gum). The material was characterized in vitro and in vivo rat model. The first priority in this work was given to assessing the attachment and proliferation rates of BMSCs following the in vivo experiment in rats. The results of 1% sample showed better osteogenic effects that can be used in clinical application after studying in larger animals for better bone regeneration and tissue engineering.
