Abstract: Abstract To develop osteogenic building blocks for modular bone tissue engineering applications, influence of gelatin as cell adhesive molecule and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) as osteoconductive component was examined on alginate-based hydrogel properties and microencapsulated osteoblast-like cell behavior by using factorial experimental design technique. nHA and alginate showed a statistically significant impact on swelling reduction, and improvement of stability and mechanical strength of hydrogels, respectively. Gelatin influence, however, was in a reverse manner. nHA played imperative roles in promoting microencapsulated osteoblastic cell proliferation and function due to its bioactivity and mechanical strength improvement of hydrogels to the modulus range of mineralized bone tissue in vivo. The results and their statistical analysis also revealed the importance of interaction effect of gelatin and nHA. Proliferation and osteogenic function of the cells fluctuated with increasing gelatin concentration of microcapsules in the presence of nHA, demonstrating that hydrogel properties should be balanced to provide an efficient 3D osteoconductive microcapsule. Alginate (1%)-gelatin (2.5%)-nHA (0.5%) microcapsule with compressive modulus of 0.19 MPa ± 0.02, swelling ratio of 52% ± 8 (24 h) and degradation rate of 12% ± 4 (96 h) revealed a maximum performance for the cell proliferation and function, indicating a potential microcapsule composition to prepare building blocks for modular bone tissue engineering. Highlights • Cell-laden alginate-gelatin-nHA microcapsule acts as a potential bone building block. • Nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) significantly promotes microencapsulated cell osteogenesis. • Gelatin addition in presence of nHA creates an efficient osteogenic building block.
