Here, we report an integrated approach combining additivemanufacturing with supramolecular chemistry to develop acellular mineralizing 3Dprinted scaffolds for hard tissue regeneration. Our approach relies on an elastin-likerecombinamer (ELR) coating designed to trigger and guide the growth of ordered apatiteon the surface of 3D printed nylon scaffolds. Three test samples including a) uncoatednylon scaffolds (referred to as “Uncoated”), b) ELR coated scaffolds (referred to as “ELRonly”), and c) ELR coated and in vitro mineralized scaffolds (referred to as “Pre-mineralized”) were prepared and tested for in vitro and in vivo performance. All testsamples supported normal human immortalized mesenchymal stem cell adhesion,growth, and differentiation with enhanced cell proliferation observed in the “Pre-mineralized” samples. Using a rabbit calvarial in vivo model, ‘Pre-mineralized’ scaffoldsalso exhibited higher bone ingrowth into scaffold pores and cavities with higher tissue-implant integration. However, the coated scaffolds (“ELR only” and “Pre-mineralized”) didnot exhibit significantly more new bone formation compared to “Uncoated” scaffolds.Overall, the mineralizing coating offers an opportunity to enhance integration of 3D printedbone implants. However, there is a need to further decipher and tune their immunologicresponse to develop truly osteoinductive/conductive surfaces.
