Mussel-inspired multifunctional surface through promoting osteogenesis and inhibiting osteoclastogenesis to facilitate bone regeneration.

ABSTRACT: Osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis are closely associated during the bone regeneration process. The development of multifunctional bone repair scaffolds with dual therapeutic actions (pro-osteogenesis and anti-osteoclastogenesis) is still a challenging task for bone tissue engineering applications. Herein, through a facile surface coating process, mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) is adhered to the surface of a biocompatible porous scaffold followed by the immobilization of a small-molecule activator (LYN-1604 (LYN)) and the subsequent in situ coprecipitation of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals. PDA, acting as an intermediate bridge, can provide strong LYN immobilization and biomineralization ability, while LYN targets osteoclast precursor cells to inhibit osteoclastic differentiation an
