Abstract

We investigated the bioactivity and cytocompatibility of 45S5 bioactive glass (BG) based scaffolds coated with a composite layer formed by gelatin and manganese doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Mn-MBGNs). The scaffolds were prepared using the foam replica method, and they were further coated with Mn-MBGNs/gelatin via dip coating. The synthesized scaffolds were characterized in relation to morphology, porosity, mechanical stability, bioactivity and cell biology behavior using osteoblast-like (MG-63) cells. The scaffolds were highly porous with interconnected porosity, and a suitable pore structure was maintained even after the Mn-MBGNs/gelatin coating. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the presence of Mn-MBGNs in the coatings. Moreover, the presence of gelatin was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The coated scaffolds exhibited in-vitro bioactivity in simulated body fluid comparable to that of uncoated BG scaffolds. Finally, Mn-MBGNs/gelatin coated scaffolds were shown to be non-cytotoxic to MG-63 cells. Hence, the results presented here confirm that the novel Mn containing scaffolds can be considered in the field of biologically active ion releasing scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications.
