Open porous microspheres, characterized by their high specific surface area and osteo-inductive properties, offer an optimal microenvironment for cell ingrowth and efficient ossification, potentially accelerating bone regeneration.Materials and Methods: An in vitro investigation was conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, porosity, and biocompatibility of PHA-nano-clay open porous microspheres. Subsequently, PHA-nano-clay microspheres loaded with rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were implanted into 5 mm cranial defects in rats for a duration of 12 weeks and were evaluated through histological and immunohistochemical analyses.Results: The incorporation of nano-clay into PHA resulted in improved mechanical properties of the porous scaffolds. Furthermore, cell adhesion, viability, and morphology on the scaffolds were maintained. The PHA-3% nano-clay open porous microspheres effectively enhanced the repair of cranial defects compared to the control group, without recurrence or complications.Conclusion: Porous PHA-nano-clay microspheres, with their high specific surface area, biodegradability, and osteo-inductive properties, can be utilized as a bone-filling material for improved bone defect repair through cell delivery. In particular, PHA-3% nano-clay open porous microspheres exhibit promising therapeutic potential in the repair of cranial defects.
