Bioinspired Mechano‐Sensitive Macroporous Ceramic Sponge for Logical Drug and Cell Delivery
نویسندگان
چکیده
On-demand, ultrahigh precision delivery of molecules and cells assisted by scaffold is a pivotal theme in the field of controlled release, but it remains extremely challenging for ceramic-based macroporous scaffolds that are prevalently used in regenerative medicine. Sea sponges (Phylum Porifera), whose bodies possess hierarchical pores or channels and organic/inorganic composite structures, can delicately control water intake/circulation and therefore achieve high precision mass transportation of food, oxygen, and wastes. Inspired by leuconoid sponge, in this study, the authors design and fabricate a biomimetic macroporous ceramic composite sponge (CCS) for high precision logic delivery of molecules and cells regulated by mechanical stimulus. The CCS reveals unique on-demand AND logic release behaviors in response to dual-gates of moisture and pressure (or strain) and, more importantly, 1 cm3 volume of CCS achieves unprecedentedly delivery precision of ≈100 ng per cycle for hydrophobic or hydrophilic molecules and ≈1400 cells per cycle for fibroblasts, respectively.

متن کاملControl of -Tricalcium Phosphate Formation in Macroporous Phosphate Glass-Ceramic Composites
A macroporous phosphate invert glass-ceramic (PIGC) was derived from the mother glass with a composition of 60CaO-30P2O5-3TiO27Na2O in mol%. The mother glass powders were coated on a polymer sponge skeleton and subsequently sintered at 850 C for 1 h through burning off the sponge, resulting in the preparation of macroporous PIGC. The resulting macroporous PIGC consists predominantly of tricalci...

متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Fluid Flow over a Ceramic Nanoparticle in Drug Delivery System
In this work, for better understanding of drug delivery systems, blood flow over a ceramic nanoparticle is investigated through microvessels. Drug is considered as a nanoparticle coated with the rigid ceramic. Due to the low characteristic size in the microvessel, the fluid flow is not continuum and the no-slip boundary condition cannot be applied. To solve this problem lattice Boltzmann method...
