Abstract:

In this work, a liquid crystal system as a potential bone-repairing booster has been induced from a polyacrylic acid (PAAc) gel loaded with synthetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) under physiological conditions of pH and temperature that resemble the early stages of bone formation. Dynamic processes at the microscale in biological systems require a material capable of behaving following a specific order and fluency. Besides, they must fulfill conditions such as biocompatibility. The occurrence of mesophases at different environments of pH and temperature has been shown by an optical microscope with crossed polaroids and retardation plate. The biocompatibility has been demonstrated by hemolysis analysis and coagulation assays. The results have shown a biocompatible system with excellent adaptation properties under physiological in vitro conditions.

Dear authors thank you for your support to the conference.

Now we closed the publication phase and launched the post-publication phase of the conference. REVIEWWWERS Brainstorming Workshop is now open until January 25th. MOL2NET committee, authors, and social media followers worldwide are invited to post questions/answers and comments about papers. Please kindly post your public Answers (A) to the following questions in order to promote interchange of scientific ideas.

My Questions (Q) to you:
Q1. Can you provide insights into the practical implications of the demonstrated biocompatibility of the liquid crystal system, particularly in terms of its adaptation properties under physiological in vitro conditions,
Q2. and how these findings contribute to the potential application of this system in bone repair?

Dear author thanks in advance for your kind support answering the questions.

Now, the conference publication phase is close but you can answer here directly as a post-publication comment.

Last but not least, please become a verified REVIEWWWER of our conference by making questions to other papers in different Mol2Net congresses. Commenting steps: login, go to papers list, select paper, write comment, click post comment.

Happy new year 2024.

Thanks and kind regards,
CHEMBIOMOL Committee Assistant, Maider Baltasar Marchueta.

Dear Maider Baltasar Marchueta,
Thank you for your comments. First, this system is formed by two biocompatible components, hydroxyapatite and polyacrylic acid. We have demonstrated the biocompatibility of hydroxyapatite, and its osteoconduction and osteoinduction in other works. We also demonstrate that combined with alginate, another biopolymer is bioactive and biocompatible. In this case, we focused on the relationship between blood and coagulation vias and we demonstrated the safety of this system. We have to do the next step by applying this system in culture cell lines. We propose this system as filler material for small bone defects due to its capability to form tridimensional arrangements with calcified deposits.
