DECELLULARIZED BONE BIOMATERIAL ENRICHED WITH A HYDROGEL CONTAINING DECELLULARIZED EXTRACELLULAR BONE MATRIX

摘要

It is a biomaterial developed from decellularized animal bone tissue and coated with a bone extracellular matrix in the form of a gel, which is capable of conferring efficient mechanical and biological support, and which can also be enriched with cells, nanocomposites or drugs, when used as a bone graft, bioreactor, or vehicle in treatments, research and development of other biomaterials; That is, it was developed from decellularized, lyophilized, porous and rigid, manipulable, safe and non-immunogenic bone material, coated and enriched with stimulating substances specific to bone tissue, presented / used in particulate or block form, thus possessing ability to promote the development of in vitro mature or progenitor cell lines when used as a bioreactor, and demonstrates a high integration capacity and a faster rate of fracture healing and filling of bone defects when used as an in vivo graft; The biomaterial also allows the promotion of cellular development, from the maintenance of the integrity of the organic extracellular matrix of the bone tissue, being able to improve healing time, reduce costs and contribute scientifically to basic research demonstrating the biotechnological importance, the investigative and applicability of decellularized organic matrices in biomaterials.
