Regenerative medicine aims to address substantial defects by amplifying the body's natural regenerative abilities and preserving the health of tissues and organs. To achieve these goals, materials that can provide the spatial and biological support for cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as the micro-environment essential for the intended tissue, are needed. Scaffolds such as polymers and metallic materials provide three-dimensional structures for cells to attach to and grow in defects. These materials have limitations in terms of mechanical properties or biocompatibility. In contrast, biominerals are formed by living organisms through biomineralization, which also includes minerals created by replicating this process. Incorporating biominerals into conventional materials allows for enhanced strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Specifically, biominerals can improve the bond between the implant and tissue by mimicking the micro-environment. This enhances cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. Furthermore, biomineral composites have wound healing and antimicrobial properties, which can aid in wound repair. Additionally, biominerals can be engineered as drug carriers, which can efficiently deliver drugs to their intended targets, minimizing side effects and increasing therapeutic efficacy. This article examines the role of biominerals and their composite materials in regenerative medicine applications and discusses their properties, synthesis methods, and potential uses.
再生医学旨在通过增强身体的自然再生能力和保护组织和器官的健康来解决重大缺陷。为了实现这些目标,需要能够为细胞增殖和分化提供空间和生物学支持的材料,以及为预期组织提供必要的微环境的材料。聚合物和金属材料等支架为细胞提供了附着和在缺陷中生长的三维结构。这些材料在机械性能或生物相容性方面存在局限性。相比之下,生物矿化是由生物体通过生物矿化形成的,其中还包括通过复制该过程形成的矿物质。将生物矿化材料纳入传统材料中,可以提高强度、耐久性和生物相容性。具体来说,生物矿化材料可以通过模拟微环境来改善植入物和组织之间的结合。这可以促进细胞分化和组织再生。此外,生物矿化复合材料具有促进伤口愈合和抗菌的特性,有助于伤口修复。此外,生物矿化材料可以被设计为药物载体,能够将药物高效地输送到目标部位,最小化副作用并提高治疗效果。本文探讨了生物矿化材料及其复合材料在再生医学应用中的作用,并讨论了它们的性质、合成方法和潜在用途。
