| Abstract | The de novo formation of ectopic bone marrow was induced using 1.2-mm-thin polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds biomodified with several different biomaterials. In vivo investigations of de novo bone and bone marrow formation indicated that subcutaneous implantation of PCL scaffolds coated with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) plus Matrigel, hydroxyapatite (HA), or StemRegenin 1 (SR1) improved formation of bone and hematopoietic bone marrow as determined by microcomputed tomography, and histological and hematopoietic characterizations. Our study provides evidence that thin PCL scaffolds biomodified with Matrigel, HA, and SR1 mimic the environments of real bone and bone marrow, thereby enhancing the de novo ectopic bone marrow formation induced by rhBMP-2. This ectopic bone marrow model will serve as a unique and essential tool for basic research and for clinical applications of postnatal tissue engineering and organ regeneration. |
