Abstract
Articular cartilage is crucial for the functional integrity of joints yet vulnerable to a spectrum of injuries. The adverse immune microenvironment ensuing from injury, coupled with the intrinsic property of the tissue characterized by limited cellularity, poses a significant challenge to the reconstruction of cartilage defect. In this study, an extracellular matrix hydrogel derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) with encapsulation of Kartogenin (KGN) has been designed for the cartilage repair and regeneration. The SIS hydrogel, which possessed a three-dimensional porous structure akin to the natural cartilage, has provided a scaffold essential for the progenitor cells engaged in the repair process and sustained release of KGN. As shown by in vitro experiments, the KGN could recruit host endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and induce them to differentiate into chondrocytes, thus enabling in situ cartilage regeneration without cell transplantation. Notably, the bioactive component of SIS was further revealed to possess excellent immunomodulatory capacity to induce the phenotypic shift from M1 to M2 macrophages, which could enhance the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs indirectly. Additionally, in vivo experiments showed that the regenerated tissues of the composite SIS hydrogel group were close to the natural hyaline cartilage. Leveraging the combined effects of KGN and SIS hydrogel, this innovative composite material shows great potential as a biomaterial for effective cartilage repair and regeneration.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
