• Micro-Nano bioactive glass
• Barrier membrane
• Bi-layered structure
• Guided bone regeneration

Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is widely used to treat oral bone defects. However, the osteogenic effects are limited by the deficiency of the available barrier membranes. In this study, a novel bi-layer membrane was prepared by solvent casting and electrospinning. The barrier layer made of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) was smooth and compact, whereas the osteogenic layer consisting of micro-nano bioactive glass (MNBG) and PLGA was rough and porous. The mineralization evaluation confirmed that apatite formed on the membranes in simulated body fluid. Immersion in phosphate-buffered saline led to the degradation of the membranes with proper pH changes. Mechanical tests showed that the bi-layered membranes have stable mechanical properties under dry and wet conditions. The bi-layered membranes have good histocompatibility, and the MNBG/PLGA layer can enhance bone regeneration activity. This was confirmed by cell culture results, expression of osteogenic genes, and immunofluorescence staining of RUNX-related transcription factor 2 and osteopontin. Therefore, the bi-layered membranes could be a promising clinical strategy for GBR surgery.
