摘要Bone and teeth are derived from intrafibrillarly mineralized collagen fibrils as the second level of hierarchy.According to polymer-induced liquid-precursor process,using amorphous calcium phosphate precursor(ACP)is able to achieve intrafibrillar mineralization in the case of bone biomineral in vitro.Therefore,ACP precursors might be blended with any osteoconductive scaffold as a promising bone formation supplement for in-situ remineralization of collagens in bone.In this study,mesoporous silica nanoparticles with carboxyl-functionalized groups and ultra large-pores have been synthesized and used for the delivery of liquid like biomimetic precursors(ACP).The precursor delivery capacity of the nanoparticles was verified by the precursor release profile and successful mineralization of 2D and 3D collagen models.The nanoparticles could be completely degraded in 60 days and exhibited good biocompatibility as well.The successful translational strategy for biomineralization precursors showed that biomineralization precursor laden ultra large pore mesoporous silica possessed the potential as a versatile supplement in demineralized bone formation through the induction of intrafibrillar collagen mineralization.
