Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Using tissue engineering method to promote bone tissue regeneration is a hot research point of bone defect repair in recent years, and scaffold materials are the important content for bone tissue engineering research.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the application progress of hyaluronic acid used as a tissue engineering scaffold material.
METHODS: The CNKI database and PubMed database were searched with the key words of “hyaluronic acid, bone”. The literatures about the analysis on the application of hyaluronic acid as the tissue engineering scaffold material were selected. The physical characteristics of hyaluronic acid and application of hyaluronic acid in bone tissue engineering were analyzed, as well as the publishing of related literatures.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hyaluronic acid is an important component of the extracellular matrix, and hyaluronic acid and its derivatives have excellent characteristics, which are the excellent materials for building tissue engineering scaffolds, and can be used as carriers for growth factors and cell delivery. The National Natural Science Foundation of China is the foundation that supports the most literatures on the application of hyaluronic acid used as the tissue engineering scaffold materials. Hubei College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, General Hospital of PLA, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and South Chine University of Technology published most of the relevant literatures. In recent years, the application of hyaluronic acid in the bone tissue engineering has attracted more and more attention, but the research on its clinical application is rare.
