Abstract:

BACKGROUND: A nano-hydroxylapatite/collagen (nHAC) is a scaffold material for bone tissue engineering based on the concept of bionics. As its reliable biomechanical properties and good biocompatibility, nHAC has been widely used in bone defect repair.

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the biological effects and research progress of the nHAC and its mineralized composites in bone tissue engineering.
METHODS: The relevant articles published from January 1997 to January 2018 were collected by a computer-based search of CNKI, SCIE, and PubMed databases using the keywords of “nano-hydroxylapatite/ collagen (nHAC), material, bone regeneration, bone tissue engineering” in English and Chinese, respectively.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: nHAC has good biocompatibility and osteoinduction ability. Compared with autologous bone, nHAC has less osteogenic capacity due to the lack of osteo-inductive biological active substances, such as bone inducing factors and stem cells. Enhancement of osteogenic capacity will be achieved in the nHAC by loading with biomaterials, such as natural bone, artificial bone, cells, plasma, drugs, and bioactive substances. However, it is especially necessary to improve its osteoinduction activity in the repair of large-area bone defects as well as to keep balance between material degradation and osteogenesis needs to be further clarified.
