DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This Bioengineering Research Partnership proposal is submitted by a multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists primarily affiliated with the University of California (UC) system. The lead institution is Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, with component groups at UC Berkeley and San Francisco campuses. There is also small business collaborator from SkeleTech, Inc., in Bothell, WA. Some of the collaborators have worked together on ceramic projects for over 20 years, while others have worked together on dental research projects for over 10 years. This team has been expanded to include greater expertise in all the disciplines involved in this proposal: materials science, chemistry, biology, and dental/medical science. The research is aimed at development and testing of new implant materials by combining biomimetics with two radically new design philosophies to produce dense and strong bioactive scaffolds that are intended to be partially or completely resorbed and replaced by bone from the host in a sequence resembling bone remodeling. The ultimate goal is to develop strong and tough implant materials for load-bearing applications deriving their strength from nanoparticle hydroxyapatite and their toughness from hydrogel polymers, with the microstructural architecture scale on the order of tens of nanometers and below. Three types of materials will be developed. First, inorganic scaffolds with a dense core and a graded distribution of porosity and surface chemistry will be fabricated by stereolithography and by a novel technology developed in our laboratory based on freeze casting of calcium phosphate suspensions. Second, hydrogels and self-assembling polymers that possess anionic groups and adhesive ligands suitably positioned for the nucleation process and cellular adhesion will be used to direct templatedriven biomimetic mineralization of hydroxyapatite and other biominerals in nanoscopically and microscopically controlled fashion. Third, the resultant porous scaffolds will be used as the matrices to fabricate inorganic-organic composites with improved strength and fracture resistance. This will be achieved by infiltration of the inorganic scaffolds with hydrogels or by direct template-driven biomimetic mineralization of calcium phosphate nanoparticles on the organic scaffolds. Materials that pass the mechanical property tests will be tested in cell cultures and an animal model. Improvement of implants will result in improved health and quality of life for the millions of people who will need implants in the future.

描述(由申请人提供)： 这项生物工程研究伙伴关系提案是由主要隶属于加州大学(UC)系统的科学家组成的多学科合作提交的。牵头机构是劳伦斯·伯克利国家实验室，在加州大学伯克利分校和旧金山校区设有组件小组。华盛顿州博塞尔的SkeleTech，Inc.也有小企业合作者。一些合作者在陶瓷项目上合作了20多年，而另一些人在牙科研究项目上合作了10多年。这个团队已经扩大到包括这项提案涉及的所有学科的更多专业知识：材料科学、化学、生物学和牙科/医学。这项研究旨在通过将仿生学与两种全新的设计理念相结合来开发和测试新的植入材料，以生产致密和强大的生物活性支架，这些支架旨在被部分或完全吸收，并以类似于骨重建的顺序被宿主的骨取代。最终目标是开发用于承载应用的坚固而坚韧的植入材料，其强度来自纳米羟基磷灰石，韧性来自水凝胶聚合物，微结构尺度在几十纳米及以下。将开发三种类型的材料。首先，通过立体光刻技术和我们实验室开发的基于冷冻铸造的磷酸钙悬浮液的新技术，将制备出具有致密核心和孔隙率和表面化学梯度分布的无机支架。其次，具有适合成核过程和细胞黏附的阴离子基团和粘合配体的水凝胶和自组装聚合物将被用于以纳米和微观控制的方式指导模板驱动的羟基磷灰石和其他生物矿物的仿生矿化。第三，将所得到的多孔支架用作基质，以制备具有更高强度和抗断裂性能的无机-有机复合材料。这将通过用水凝胶渗透无机支架或通过模板驱动在有机支架上直接仿生矿化磷酸钙纳米颗粒来实现。通过机械性能测试的材料将在细胞培养和动物模型中进行测试。植入物的改进将改善数百万未来需要植入物的人的健康和生活质量。
