The invention discloses a
cartilage extracellular matrix and silk
fibroin composite orientation
cartilage support and a preparation method thereof and belongs to the
biological tissue engineering technology. According to the
cartilage extracellular matrix and silk
fibroin composite orientation cartilage support and the preparation method of the cartilage support, cartilage
extracellular matrixes are prepared through
articular cartilage of people, pigs, cows or sheep, silk
fibroin is prepared through mulberry silk, after the cartilage extracellular matrixes and the silk fibroin are evenly mixed according to a specific proportion,
directed crystallization is performed under a certain temperature,
ultraviolet cross linking is firstly performed after freezing and
drying, and then cross linking of
carbodiimide and N-hydroxysuccinimide or
glutaraldehyde and
genipin is performed so that the cartilage
extracellular matrix and silk fibroin composite orientation cartilage support can be prepared. Due to the design,
biocompatibility is good, and immunological rejective reaction is avoided; a composition structure and mechanical properties are similar to those of cartilage extracellular matrixes of people; material sources are wide, cost is low, the preparation technology is simple, the cartilage
extracellular matrix and silk fibroin composite orientation cartilage support can be used for constructing
tissue engineering cartilage and repairing
cartilage degradation, and clinical application prospects are good.
