Regenerative medicine is becoming a rapidly evolving technique in today’s biomedical progress scenario. Scientists around the world suggest the use of naturally synthesized biomaterials to repair and heal damaged cells. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) has the potential to replace drugs in biomedical engineering and regenerative drugs. HAp is easily biodegradable, biocompatible, and correlated with macromolecules, which facilitates their incorporation into inorganic materials.

1. Introduction

Tissue engineering is a modern scientific discipline concerning chemical, biological, and engineering principles that tries to use various methods to regenerate tissues [1][2]. It applies natural science and engineering principles and their innovations to such damaged tissues through the development of biological substitutes or through tissue reconstruction [3][4]. To revitalize, maintain, or enhance tissue function, tissue engineering helps to understand the structure and function of normal and pathological mammalian tissues [1][2][5][6]. The aim of tissue engineering is to develop new functional tissues and regenerate tissues in vitro or in vivo to treat diseases when surgery is necessary [7]. For many other disease states, tissue engineering remains a thriving area of research with potential new treatments [8]. It enables the regeneration of almost every tissue and organ in the human body [6]. General tissue-engineering strategies can be divided into three groups: (i) implantation of isolated cells into the body or cell replacement; (ii) delivery of tissue-inducing substances such as growth factor, which refers to proteins or polypeptides that can promote tissue growth; and (iii) placing cells in or on different matrices [6]. Tissue engineering is broadly divided into two types: (a) soft tissue engineering, which deals with skin, blood vessels, tendons/ligaments, cardiac lobe, nerves, and skeletal muscles; and (b) hard-tissue engineering, dealing with bones [9]. Bone-tissue engineering aims to induce ideal bone healing by using hybrid matrixes of osteoconductive and biodegradable biomaterials and osteoinductive growth factors [10][11]. In the area of bone-tissue engineering, the biomimetic scaffolds are designed to receive the artificial bone matrix and to support the adhesion of cells, followed by the process of new tissue formation [12]. Therefore, it is assumed that the scaffold is to imitate as much as possible the structure and the composition of natural tissues [13]. In recent years, scaffolds based on natural polymers, synthetic ones, or their adequate combinations are of great interest [14]. Of particular interest is a combination of synthetic polymers, which provide adequate mechanical strength and processability, with biopolymers, which ensure the cells have an appropriate environment for proliferation and the induction of tissue growth [15].

2. Hydroxyapatite

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a biologically active calcium phosphate ceramic with high ability to promote bone growth; however, its mechanical properties, such as low fracture toughness, poor tensile strength, and weak wear resistance, make it insufficient as a load-carrying material [16]. The literature refers to hydroxyapatite as HAP, HAp, HA, or OHAp [17][18][19]. Apatites are widespread minerals occurring in all types of rocks, mainly in Switzerland, Spain, Canada, Brazil, Australia, and Poland [18]. Biological apatites are found mainly in bones and teeth of vertebrates. They are also present in all pathologically calcified tissues, such as salivary, cerebral, kidney, bile, ureteral, and tartar stones. The apatite of which bones are made is referred to in the literature as “bone hydroxyapatite” [20][21][22]. The size of hydroxyapatite crystals in human bones depends on the age. Three characteristic ranges of average crystallite size can be identified: 188–215 nm—the childhood period under 6 years; 232–252 nm—the adolescent period of 6–19 years; and—252–283 nm—maturity [22][23]. Bone apatites are mainly acicular or lamellar crystals [24].

Synthetic apatites are a group of compounds that includes both stoichiometric hydroxyapatite, s-HAp, with a molar ratio of calcium to phosphorus equal to 1.667; as well as hydroxyapatite deviating from stoichiometry (ns-HAp). ns-HAp shows a very wide range of nonstoichiometry, as it can contain mainly water or HPO42−, H2PO4− ions, while OH− can be replaced by O2− [25][26][27][28]. Stoichiometric hydroxyapatite has a monoclinic structure, while HAp of mineralogical and biological origin has a hexagonal structure [29]. The unit cell parameters for the hexagonal system are: a = 9.41 Å, c = 6.88 Å, and the unit cell volume is 527.59 ų [18]; while for the monoclinic system, they are: a = 9.4215 Å, b = 2a, c = 6, 8815 Å [30]. Figure 1 shows the distribution of atoms in the hydroxyapatite crystal lattice.

In the unit cell, two crystallographically independent atoms of calcium, Ca (I) and Ca (II), can be observed. Ca (II) atoms form triangles that are located perpendicular to the c axis and mutually shifted by 60° to each other, while Ca (I) atoms are octahedrally surrounded by six oxygen atoms [31]. The structure of hydroxyapatite adopts a variety of isomorphic substitutions in both the cationic and anionic subnetworks without destroying the unit cell structure. The criteria determining the possibility of ion exchange are the similarity in dimensions and charges of the substituting and substituted ions [22][32][33]. Foreign elements are substituted into the structure of hydroxyapatite in an undefined amount, depending on the conditions of its formation [34].

In the structure of hydroxyapatite, the anions of PO43− can to some extent be exchanged for carbonate groups, and this is the so-called Type B carbonate hydroxyapatite, unlike type A, in which CO32− anions replace the hydroxyl groups [34][35]. Type A carbonate hydroxyapatite is obtained by high-temperature treatment >1000 °C. In naturally derived hydroxyapatite, carbonate anions can replace both the phosphate groups and the hydroxyl groups. Carbonate anions in biological hydroxyapatite are also adsorbed on its surface. Substitutions in the anionic subnetwork with other anions such as chlorine (0.13 wt %) or fluorine (0.03 wt %) are also possible. Calcium ions can be exchanged for magnesium (about 0.7% by weight); sodium (about 0.9% by weight); potassium (0.03%); and a number of trace elements (Sr, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe) [36]. The presence of these elements affects the activity of enzymes related to the operation of bone cells. The incorporation of Mg2+ and CO32− ions causes a reduction in crystal size and an increase in solubility [37][38]. The effect of low crystallinity is high reactivity of bone apatites, which is reflected in bone-resorption processes. Foreign elements are incorporated in substitutions in amounts depending on the conditions of the formation of this structure; their presence also affects the stoichiometry (increasing the Ca/P molar ratio), crystallinity, and thermal and chemical stability of the compound [39].

There are molecular modeling methods that allow us to define the Hap structure. Bystrova et al. presented the first basic modeling and calculations for hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanostructures, as well as native, surface modified, charged, and with various defects (H and OH gaps, H internode) based on the first basic modeling [40].

There are many methods of obtaining hydroxyapatite powders, i.e., wet, dry, fluxing and sol-gel [25]. The mechanochemical method of obtaining hydroxyapatite is also known, but it has not found wide application [41]. Hydroxyapatite can also be obtained from natural materials such as corals, animal bones, and even fish bones [42][43][44][45]. The most widely used methods on an industrial and laboratory scale are wet methods. Particular methods allow the obtaining of materials with appropriate morphology, crystal structure, and Ca/P molar ratio, as well the incorporation of foreign cations or anions into the structure of hydroxyapatite [46][47].

Hydroxyapatite, due to its structural similarity to the mineral parts of natural bone, has been widely used in medicine and dentistry. The physicochemical and biological properties of hydroxyapatite make it possible to classify it as a bioactive material [48][49][50][51]. HAp has been applied in orthopedics, dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, ophthalmology, laryngology, and traumatology [25][32][52]. In medical practice, hydroxyapatite bioceramics are used in the forms of powder, granules, solid material, porous material, composite component, or a layer on various types of substrates [53].

3. Collagen

Due to its properties, collagen accounts for approximately 30% of all proteins found in vertebrate organisms. It is therefore a key and ubiquitous component of the extracellular matrix, providing the tensile strength required to meet the high biomechanical requirements of human and animal tissues.

Collagen, as the most abundant protein in the human body, has long been known as a natural material for a variety of biomedical applications, including implants and drug delivery [54][55]. An important source of type I collagen is animal skins. Physically, collagen forms a rodlike triple helix that self-assembles to form a cove D-periodic filament matrix. The fibers are cross-linked to provide mechanical extracellular matrix strength, integrity, and distribution filament diameters. The degree of cross-linking strongly affects the tensile strength and elasticity of tissues. Embossed collagen molecules or fibers can form hydrogels, membranes, or sponges, which can be used as hemostatic inserts, wound dressings, grafts, and scaffolds for surgery and tissue engineering [56][57][58][59].

Collagen (Figure 2) is used as the main ingredient in many drug-delivery systems and biomaterials such as ointments and dressings. Its basic physical and structural properties, along with low immunogenicity and natural turnover, are the key to its biocompatibility and efficacy. The collagen triple helix can interact with a large number of molecules that trigger biological events. They regulate the interactions of collagen with receptors on the cell surface in many cellular processes. Collagen can also interact with enzymes involved in its biosynthesis and degradation. In recent years, many interactions between collagen and other molecules have been described. These studies determined the responsible sequences of collagen bonds and high-resolution structures of triple-helical peptides associated with their natural binding partners. Intelligent control of the biological interactions of collagen in a material context will increase the effectiveness of collagen-based drug delivery [56][57][58].

Currently, 26 genetically different types of collagen have been described. Taking into account the supramolecular structure and organization, they can be divided into fibril-forming collagens, fibril-bound collagens (FACIT), collagens formed by NETs, anchoring and transmembrane fibril collagens, basement-membrane collagens, and others with unique features (see Table 1).

Different types of collagen are characterized by high complexity and diversity in their structure, i.e., variants of their connection, the presence of additional ones, and nonhelical domains, as well as their assembly and function. The most numerous and widespread family of collagens containing approximately 90% of total collagen is represented by collagen-forming fibrils. Types I and V collagen fibrils contribute to the structure of bone spine, while type II and XI collagens mainly contribute to the filamentous matrix articular cartilage. Their torsional stability and extensibility strength lead to their stability and integrity tissues. Type IV collagens, with higher flexible triple helix combined into a mesh, are limited to foundation membranes. In contrast, the highly cross-linked disulfide is of the type VI collagen-forming microfiber. We also distinguish collagens associated with fibrils with intermittent triple helices (FACIT). This type of collagen includes collagens IX, XII, and XIV, which play a role in regulating the diameter of collagen fibers. Hexagonal lattices form collagens of types VIII and X, while collagens XIII and XVII even include cell membranes [60].

4. Compositions of Collagen/HAp

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are rapidly developing fields of science that enable the design of substitutes. In materials science, hydroxyapatite and collagen are known factors that improve bone regeneration. Compositions that contain hydroxyapatite ceramics and collagen have unique properties, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical strength. Such compositions should be biodegradable, nontoxic, and nonimmunogenic, and should show similar mechanical strength to the tissues they replace. The use of these two materials together shows a synergistic osteoconductive effect. The best results are obtained by using collagen–hydroxyapatite compositions modified with other active substances [61][62].

Various techniques have been used to produce collagen/HAp compositions applicable in tissue engineering. In recent times, the most popular methods include gel casting, compaction, computer-aided rapid prototyping (RP), and 3D printing. The possibility of producing materials with controlled mechanical properties and specific biological behavior is provided by collagen/HAp composition. The use of collagen resorbable matrices makes it possible to obtain multifunctional implants in which, after fulfilling the biomechanical function (tissue fixation) after the sorption process, the HAp phase can act as a scaffold for the growth of osteogenic cells. When designing a tissue-engineered scaffold, it must be remembered that its shape must conform to the damaged tissue that is to be replaced. The scaffold must also have appropriate structural and functional properties. Currently, much research is being conducted on bioactive scaffolds modified with growth factors that are able to accelerate cell multiplication and support tissue regeneration [63][64][65][66][67].

Due to their structure, collagen/HAp compositions have different physicochemical and biological properties. The finely fibrous collagen/HAp compositions are a good medium for in vitro cultivation of osteoblasts. In contrast, porous collagen/HAp composites provide a good substrate for proliferating and differentiating osteogenic bone marrow cells [61][68][69][70].
