A process for producing a multifilament collagen fiber bundle involves treating a multifilament support polymer-collagen fiber bundle having a plurality of monofilaments of collagen supported on a support polymer with a series of liquid media having a decreasing concentration of the support polymer to remove the support polymer from the multifilament support polymer-collagen fiber bundle. The support polymer is more soluble than the collagen in the liquid media and the gradual removal of the support polymer provides enough time for collagen molecules to self-assemble into fibrils. The resulting multifilament collagen fiber bundle has a D-band structure similar to natural collagen but shifted by 1 / 6th of the D-band. The multifilament collagen fiber bundle can be crosslinked with ultraviolet light in the absence of photo-initiator to provide a crosslinked collagen product with superior tensile strength and Young's modulus making the product useful in collagen-based biomaterials for tissue repair and regeneration.

This invention discloses a method for preparing acellular dermal matrix, belonging to the field of tissue engineering technology. The preparation method includes: selecting pelts from traceable animals aged one to three months, purifying them through steps such as soaking, fleshing, defatting, hair removal, liming, deliming, and softening in a tanning process to obtain acellular dermal matrix. The acellular dermal matrix obtained by this invention removes antigenic components such as cells, hair follicles, and extracellular proteins during the preparation process, minimizing its immunogenicity while preserving the collagen fiber structure in its extracellular matrix. Simultaneously, the preparation method of this invention moderately loosens the collagen fiber bundles. This process not only effectively alleviates the entanglement between fiber bundles but also successfully increases the exposure of hydrophilic groups, giving the acellular dermal matrix excellent hydrophilicity, which is more conducive to cell proliferation and migration.

The present invention discloses a degradable tissue engineering labrum scaffold and a preparation method thereof. The scaffold uses a degradable polymer and an inorganic component as raw materials. Based on the melt electrostatic spinning process, the molten raw materials are stretched into fibers under the stretching effect of the electric field and the airflow field. The fibers are attached to a receiving roller to obtain highly oriented fiber bundles or fiber membranes. The fiber bundles or fiber membranes are loaded with polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres containing the small molecule drug bergenin and transforming growth factor β1 by spraying or soaking. The oriented fiber bundles or oriented fiber membranes after loading are curled to obtain oriented fiber aggregates. The obtained oriented fiber aggregates are placed in a pre-made mold for shaping, and the labrum scaffold is obtained after a period of time. The labrum scaffold prepared by the present invention has the advantages of bionic structure, solvent-free, high strength and good biocompatibility. It imitates the basic structure of the natural labrum composed of highly oriented circumferentially running collagen fiber bundles and has high tensile strength.
