Florida Atlantic University received a three-year, $753,464 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program to develop a multi-enzyme-mimicking bioceramic material for enhanced cell functions. The university will study whether doping manganese dioxide nanoparticles into calcium phosphate ceramic scaffolds retains the unique enzyme-mimicking functions of manganese dioxide while enhancing properties of the biomaterial. Researchers will prepare manganese dioxide nanoparticles with hollow structures and dope them into porous calcium phosphate scaffolds. They will investigate the in vitro enzyme-mimetic catalytic activities and mechanisms of the composite porous scaffolds. Additionally, the project will characterize the cell protective function by culturing human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the porous, manganese dioxide-doped calcium phosphate scaffold. This research aims to provide a new platform for mentoring diverse high school and undergraduate students in biomaterials science.
