AbstractA variety of bone-related diseases and injures and limitations of traditional regeneration methods require new tissue substitutes. Tissue engineering and regeneration combined with nanomedicine can provide different natural or synthetic and combined scaffolds with bone mimicking properties for implantation in the injured area. In this study, we synthesized collagen (Col) and reduced graphene oxide coated collagen (Col-rGO) scaffolds, and we evaluated their in vitro and in vivo effects on bone tissue repair. Col and Col-rGO scaffolds were synthesized by chemical crosslinking and freeze-drying methods. The surface topography, and the mechanical and chemical properties of scaffolds were characterized, showing three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds and successful coating of rGO on Col. The rGO coating enhanced the mechanical strength of Col-rGO scaffolds to a greater extent than Col scaffolds by 2.8 times. Furthermore, Col-rGO scaffolds confirmed that graphene addition induced no cytotoxic effects and enhanced the viability and proliferation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) with 3D adherence and expansion. Finally, scaffold implantation into rabbit cranial bone defects for 12 weeks showed increased bone formation, confirmed by Hematoxylin–Eosin (H&E) and alizarin red staining. Overall, the study showed that rGO coating improves Col scaffold properties and could be a promising implant for bone injuries.

Multifunctional nanocarriers have been widely accepted and utilized for biomedical applications, because of their structural regularity, convenient post-modification and controllable structure and morphology. Herein, we reported polydopamine-doped virus-like mesoporous silica coated reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (rGO@PVMSNs) nanocomposites by a facile oil–water biphase stratification method. The synthesized rGO@PVMSNs nanocomposites performed excellent biocompatibility and photothermal performance. They could be employed as photoacoustic imaging contrast in vivo. Furthermore, the rGO@PVMSNs nanocarriers were used for loading the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX), the rGO@PVMSNs@DOX nanocomposites were also demonstrated to be with high inhibition of HepG2 cancer cells, especially with the help of near-infrared irradiation, which were more efficient than single chemotherapy or photothermal therapy. The rGO@PVMSNs@DOX nanocomposites of this work could be used as photoacoustic imaging and chemo-photothermal synergetic therapy agents, which show a new perspective for clinical tumor diagnosis and therapy.
