Dexamethasone Long-Term Controlled Release from Injectable Dual-Network Hydrogels with Porous Microspheres Immunomodulation Promotes Bone Regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Long-lasting, controlled-release, and minimally invasive injectable platforms that provide a stable blood concentration to promote bone regeneration are less well developed. Using hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS) loaded with dexamethasone (DEX) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), we prepared porous DEX/HMS/PLGA microspheres (PDHP). In contrast to HMS/PLGA microspheres (HP), porous HMS/PLGA microspheres (PHP), DEX/PLGA microspheres (DP), and DEX/HMS/PLGA microspheres (DHP), PDHP showed notable immuno-coordinated osteogenic capabilities and were best at promoting bone mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. PDHP were combined with methacrylated silk (SilMA) and sodium alginate (SA) to form an injectable photocurable dual-network hydrogel platform tha
