The invention belongs to the technical field of biomedical materials, and particularly relates to a gradient bionic wood-based collagen bone-
cartilage repair
scaffold and a preparation method and application thereof.The
scaffold comprises a
surface layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer, the
surface layer is composed of collagen, the middle layer is composed of collagen and nano-hydroxyapatite, and the bottom layer is composed of collagen and nano-hydroxyapatite; the bottom layer is composed of wood, collagen and nano-hydroxyapatite, the
scaffold is obtained by stacking the
surface layer, the middle layer and the bottom layer and then conducting freeze-
drying, the structure of the scaffold is similar to that of natural osteochondral
cartilage, the surface layer is of a porous structure communicated with one another, and the bottom layer is of a directionally-arranged pore channel structure; the main composition of a
natural bone cartilage tissue can be highly simulated, and the gradient is presented; the
bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell prepared by the method has the advantages of high mechanical performance, gradient enhancement from the surface layer to the bottom layer, excellent
biocompatibility and
biological activity, capability of remarkably promoting
cell proliferation and gradient differentiation of
bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, and application to osteochondral tissue regeneration and
clinical treatment of
osteoarthritis.
