The inevitable gap between in vitro and in vivo degradation rate of biomaterials has been a challenging factor in the optimal designing of scaffold’s degradation to be balanced with new tissue formation.To enable non-/minimum-invasive tracking of in vivo scaffold degradation,chemical modifications have been applied to label polymers with fluorescent dyes.However,the previous approaches may have limited expandability due to complicated synthesis processes.Here,we introduce a simple and efficient method to fluorescence labeling of polymeric scaffolds via blending with near-infrared(NIR)quantum dots(QDs),semiconductor nanocrystals with superior optical properties.QDs-labeled,3D-printed PCL scaffolds showed promising efficiency and reliability in quantitative measurement of degradation using a custom-built fiber-optic imaging modality.Furthermore,QDs-PCL scaffolds showed neither cytotoxicity nor secondary labeling of adjacent cells.QDs-PCL scaffolds also supported the engineering of fibrous,cartilaginous,and osteogenic tissues from mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells(MSCs).In addition,QDs-PCL enabled a distinction between newly forming tissue and the remaining mass of scaffolds through multi-channel imaging.Thus,our findings suggest a simple and efficient QDs-labeling of PCL scaffolds and minimally invasive imaging modality that shows significant potential to enable in vivo tracking of scaffold degradation as well as new tissue formation. 展开更多
