Scientists develop new scaffold materials

In the field of regenerative medicine, the use of imitating scaffold materials is a technique that is more widely used, allowing patients' cells to "breed" on them. After the cells continue to grow and eventually fill with all the material, they will replace the scaffold. Now scientists from Rice University in Houston have further developed this technology. They use a special kind of polymer, which is in a liquid state when it is at normal temperature, and it turns into a solid when it enters the human body.

Rice University developed a hydrogel containing N-isopropylacrylamide. Normally, researchers only need to keep them in a state of lower temperature than the human body to keep them in a liquid state. Once they enter the human body, they will automatically solidify.

It is reported that researchers have injected this material into the site where the bone was lost due to injury or illness. When the material enters the human body it becomes solid, which provides a place for cell growth.

However, for some thermogel polymers, this is not so simple, because they will lose moisture when they are cured, resulting in the final molded "shelf" volume is only 1/3 of the original. To solve this problem, scientists added some chemical cross-linking agents to the gel, which prevented it from losing moisture.

In addition, since a large amount of alkaline phosphatase is produced during the growth of new bones, this enzyme can degrade the gel polymer using a chemical crosslinking agent. This also means that with the appearance of new bones in the human body, the polymer will eventually be degraded in the body, thus giving way to new bones.
