Extracellular and intracellular effects of bioactive glass nanoparticles on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and bone regeneration in zebrafish osteoporosis model. Acta Biomater 2024; 174:412-427. [PMID: 38040077 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.11.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Revised: 10/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/03/2023]
Abstract
Bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNs) are well-recognized multifunctional biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration due to their capability to stimulate various cellular processes through released biologically active ions. Understanding the correlation between BGN composition and cellular responses is key to developing clinically usable BGN-based medical devices. This study investigated the influence of CaO content of binary SiO2-CaO BGNs (CaO ranging from 0 to 10 mol%) on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and in vivo bone regeneration in zebrafish osteoporosis model. The results showed that BGNs could promote osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by indirectly releasing active ions or directly interacting with rBMSCs by internalization. In both situations, BGNs of a higher CaO content could promote the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs to a greater extent. The internalized BGNs could activate the transcription factors RUNX2 and OSX, leading to the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. The results in the zebrafish osteoporosis model indicated that the presence of BGNs of higher CaO contents could enhance bone regeneration and rescue dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis to a greater extent. These findings demonstrate that BGNs can stimulate osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs by releasing active ions or internalization. A higher CaO content facilitates osteogenesis and bone regeneration of zebrafish as well as relieving dexamethasone-induced osteoporosis. The zebrafish osteoporosis model can be a potent tool for evaluating the in vivo bone regeneration effects of bioactive materials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNs) are increasingly used as fillers of nanocomposites or as delivery platforms of active ions to regenerate bone tissue. Various studies have shown that BGNs can enhance osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by releasing active ions. However, the correlation between BGN composition and cellular responses and in vivo bone regeneration effect has still not been well investigated. Establishment of a suitable in vivo animal model for investigating this correlation is also challenging. The present study reports the influence of CaO content in binary SiO2-CaO BGNs on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs extracellularly and intracellularly. This study also demonstrates the suitability of zebrafish osteoporosis model to investigate in vivo bone regeneration effect of BGNs.

A pedagogical approach for the development and optimization of a novel mix of biowastes-derived hydroxyapatite using the Box-Behnken experimental design. Heliyon 2024; 10:e23092. [PMID: 38187329 PMCID: PMC10770532 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e23092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2023] [Revised: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The current study details the creation of synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) using a combination of catfish and bovine bones (C&B). This is done to design the optimum processing parameters and consolidate instructional strategies to develop HAp scaffolds for biomedical engineering. The HAp produced from the novel mix of the biogenic materials (C&B) was through calcination and supported with the sol-gel technique, sintering, and low-cold compaction pressure. The ideal preparation conditions were identified with the aid of the Box-Behnken statistical design in response surface methodology. To understand the physicochemical and mechanical properties of the formulation, analytical studies on the synthesized HAp were carried out. To establish a substantial relation between the physicomechanical properties of the produced HAp scaffolds, three parameters- sintering temperature, compaction loads, and holding times were used. In the evaluation, the sintering temperature was found to have the greatest impact on the material's physicomechanical properties, with compressive strength (13 MPa), porosity (49.45 %), and elastic modulus (2.216 GPa) being the most enhanced properties in that order. The physicomechanical characteristics of the HAp scaffolds were at their optimal at 900 °C, 1 h 18 min of holding time, and 311.73 Pa of compaction pressure. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) results showed that powders with a dominant HAp phase were produced at all runs, including the optimum run. Therefore, using a computationally effective methodology that is helpful for novelties in biomedical engineering education, this study demonstrates the optimal process for the synthesis of a novel matrix bone-derived HAp, showing the most significant relations liable for manufacturing medically suitable HAp scaffolds from the mixture of bovine and catfish bones.

Abstract
This study explores the potential utilization of walstromite (BaCa2Si3O9) as a foundational material for creating new bioceramics in the form of scaffolds through 3D printing technology. To achieve this objective, this study investigates the chemical-mineralogical, morphological, and structural characteristics, as well as the biological properties, of walstromite-based bioceramics. The precursor mixture for walstromite synthesis is prepared through the sol-gel method, utilizing pure reagents. The resulting dried gelatinous precipitate is analyzed through complex thermal analysis, leading to the determination of the optimal calcination temperature. Subsequently, the calcined powder is characterized via X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, indicating the presence of calcium and barium silicates, as well as monocalcium silicate. This powder is then employed in additive 3D printing, resulting in ceramic scaffolds. The specific ceramic properties of the scaffold, such as apparent density, absorption, open porosity, and compressive strength, are assessed and fall within practical use limits. X-ray diffraction analysis confirms the formation of walstromite as a single phase in the ceramic scaffold. In vitro studies involving immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7 and 14 days, as well as contact with osteoblast-like cells, reveal the scaffold's ability to form a phosphate layer on its surface and its biocompatibility. This study concludes that the walstromite-based ceramic scaffold exhibits promising characteristics for potential applications in bone regeneration and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Different mesoporous nanomaterials (MSNs) are constantly being developed for a range of therapeutic purposes, but they invariably interact with blood components and may cause hazardous side effects. Therefore, when designing and developing nanoparticles for biomedical applications, hemocompatibility should be one of the primary goals to assess their toxicity at the cellular level of all blood components. The aim of this study was to evaluate the compatibility of human blood cells (erythrocytes, platelets, and leukocytes) after exposure to silica-based mesoporous nanomaterials that had been manufactured using the sol-gel method, with Ca and Ce as doping elements. The viability of lymphocytes and monocytes was unaffected by the presence of MSNs at any concentration. However, it was found that all nanomaterials, at all concentrations, reduced the viability of granulocytes. P-selectin expression of all MSNs at all concentrations was statistically significantly higher in platelet incubation on the first day of storage (day 1) compared to the control. When incubated with MSNs, preserved platelets displayed higher levels of iROS at all MSNs types and concentrations examined. Ce-containing MSNs presented a slightly better hemocompatibility, although it was also dose dependent. Further research is required to determine how the unique characteristics of MSNs may affect various blood components in order to design safe and effective MSNs for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Haemorrhage is the leading cause of battlefield deaths and second most common cause for civilian mortality worldwide. Biomaterials-based haemostatic agents are used to aid in bleeding stoppage; mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) are candidates for haemostasis. Previously made Tantalum-containing MBG (Ta-MBG) powders' compositions were fabricated as electrospun fibres for haemostatic applications in the present study. The fibres were fabricated to address the challenges associated with the powder form: difficult to compress without gauze, getting washed away in profuse bleeding, generating dust in the surgical environment, and forming thick callus-difficult to remove for surgeons and painful for patients. Ta-MBGs were based on (80-x)SiO2-15CaO-5P2O5-xTa2O5 mol% compositions with x = 0 (0Ta), 0.5 (0.5Ta), 1 (1Ta), and 5 (5Ta) mol%. The present study details the fibres' in vitro analyses, elucidating their cytotoxic effects, and haemostatic capabilities and relating these observations to fibre chemistry and previously fabricated powders of the same glasses. As expected, when Ta addition is increased at the expense of silica, a new FTIR peak (non-bridging oxygen-silicon, Si-NBO) develops and Si-O-Si peaks become wider. Compared to 0Ta and 1Ta fibres, 0.5Ta show Si-O peaks with reduced intensity. The fibres had a weaker intensity of Si-NBO peaks and release fewer ions than powders. A reduced ion profile provides fibres with a stable matrix for clot formation. The ion release profile for 1Ta and 5Ta fibres was significantly lower than 0Ta and 0.5Ta fibres. Ta-MBGs were not found to be cytotoxic to primary rat fibroblasts using a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Furthermore, a modified activated partial thromboplastin time assay analysing the fibrin absorbance showed that the absorption increases from physiological clotting < 0Ta < 0.5Ta < 5Ta < commercial haemostat, Surgical SNoWTM, Ethicon, USA < 1Ta. Higher absorption signifies a stronger clot. It is concluded that Ta-MBG fibres can provide stable matrix for clot formation and 1Ta can potentially enhance clotting best among other Ta-MBGs.

Abstract
Polymer hydrogels intended for use in bone repair need to be strong, elastic, and capable of enduring degradation. However, many natural polymer hydrogels lack these essential properties and thus, are unsuitable for bone repair applications. Here, a new type of multi-network hydrogel with improved mechanical and degradation-resistant properties has been developed for use in bone repair. The hydrogel is composed of thiolated chitosan (TCH), silk fibroin (SF), and thiolated bioglass (TBG) nanoparticles (NPs). The multi-networks are built through sulfhydryl self-crosslinking, diepoxide crosslinker-involved linkages of amino or hydroxyl groups, and enzyme-mediated phenol hydroxyl crosslinking. Additionally, mesoporous TBG NPs serve as a vehicle for loading stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) to provide the gel with cell-recruiting activity. The formulated TCH/SF/TBG hydrogels exhibit remarkably enhanced strength, elasticity, and improved degradation tolerance compared to some gels made from only TCH or SF. Furthermore, TCH/SF/TBG gels can support the growth of seeded cells and the deposition of matrix components. Some TCH/SF/TBG gels also demonstrate the ability to release SDF-1 in an approximately linear manner for a few weeks while retaining the chemotactic properties of the released SDF-1. Overall, the multi-network hydrogel has the potential as an in situ forming material for cell-recruiting bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
3D printing fabrication has become a dominant approach for the creation of tissue engineering constructs as it is accurate, fast, reproducible and can produce patient-specific templates. In this study, 3D printing is applied to create nanocomposite scaffold of polylactic acid (PLA)/hardystonite (HT)-graphene oxide (GO). GO is utilized as a coupling agent of alkaline treated HT nanoparticles within PLA matrix. The addition of HT-GO nanoparticles of up to 30 wt% to PLA matrix was found to increase the degradability from 7.33 ± 0.66 to 16.03 ± 1.47 % during 28 days. Also, the addition of 20 wt% of HT-GO nanoparticles to PLA scaffold (PLA/20HTGO sample) significantly increased the compressive strength (from 7.65 ± 0.86 to 14.66 ± 1.01 MPa) and elastic modulus (from 94.46 ± 18.03 to 189.15 ± 10.87 MPa). The apatite formation on the surface of nanocomposite scaffolds in simulated body fluid within 28 days confirmed the excellent bioactivity of nanocomposite scaffolds. The MG63 cell adhesion and proliferation and, also, the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation were highly stimulated on the PLA/20HTGO scaffold. According to the sum of results obtained in the current study, the optimized PLA/20HTGO nanocomposite scaffold is highly promising for hard tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has great influence in many physiological or pathological processes in organisms. In the site of bone defects, the overproduced ROS significantly affects the dynamic balance process of bone regeneration. Many antioxidative organic and inorganic antioxidants showed good osteogenic ability, which has been widely used for bone repair. It is of great significance to summarize the antioxidative bone repair materials (ABRMs) to provide guidance for the future design and preparation of osteogenic materials with antioxidative function. Here, this review introduced the major research direction of ABRM at present in nanoscale, 2-dimensional coating, and 3-dimensional scaffolds. Moreover, the referring main active substances and antioxidative properties were classified, and the positive roles of antioxidative materials for bone repair have also been clearly summarized in signaling pathways, antioxidant enzymes, cellular responses and animal levels.

Abstract
Hydrogels have established their significance as prominent biomaterials within the realm of biomedical research. However, injectable hydrogels have garnered greater attention compared with their conventional counterparts due to their excellent minimally invasive nature and adaptive behavior post-injection. With the rapid advancement of emerging chemistry and deepened understanding of biological processes, contemporary injectable hydrogels have been endowed with an "intelligent" capacity to respond to various endogenous/exogenous stimuli (such as temperature, pH, light and magnetic field). This innovation has spearheaded revolutionary transformations across fields such as tissue engineering repair, controlled drug delivery, disease-responsive therapies, and beyond. In this review, we comprehensively expound upon the raw materials (including natural and synthetic materials) and injectable principles of these advanced hydrogels, concurrently providing a detailed discussion of the prevalent strategies for conferring stimulus responsiveness. Finally, we elucidate the latest applications of these injectable "smart" stimuli-responsive hydrogels in the biomedical domain, offering insights into their prospects.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications for their ability to stimulate endogenous bone formation and regeneration. BG applications more recently broadened to include soft tissue conditions, based on their ability to stimulate angiogenesis, soft tissue regeneration, and wound healing. Sol-gel synthesis has helped facilitate this expansion, allowing formulators to tailor the morphological characteristics of the BG matrix. The effectiveness of BGs in skin wound healing is viewed as a gateway for their use as both a therapeutic and drug delivery platform in other soft tissue applications, notably gastrointestinal (GI) applications, which form the focus of this review. Recent changes in international guidelines for GI conditions shifted clinical objectives from symptom management to mucosal wound healing. The additional scrutiny of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) safety, increasing burden of disease, and financial costs associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) open new clinical possibilities for BG. This narrative literature review intersects materials engineering, formulation science, and clinical practice, setting it apart from prior literature. Broadly, current evidence for BG applications in GI conditions is sparse and under-developed, which this review directly addresses. It explores and synthesizes evidence that supports the potential use of sol-gel-derived BG for the efficacious treatment of soft tissue applications, with specific reference to GI conditions. An overview with comparative analysis of current BG synthesis techniques and associated challenges is presented, and influences of composition, biologically active ions, and morphological characteristics in soft tissue applications are explored. To contextualize this, sol-gel-derived BGs are proposed as a dual, tailorable therapeutic and drug delivery platform for upper and lower GI conditions. Future directions for this largely untapped area of translational research are also proposed, based on extant literature.

Cu-Sr Bilayer Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles/Polydopamine Functionalized Polyetheretherketone Enhances Osteogenic Activity and Prevents Implant-Associated Infections through Spatiotemporal Immunomodulation. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301772.

Abstract
Key factors contributing to implantation failures include implant-associated infections (IAIs) and insufficient osseointegration of the implants. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is widely used in orthopedics, yet its clinical applications are restricted due to its poor osteogenic and antibacterial properties as well as inadequate immune responses. To overcome these drawbacks, a novel spatiotemporal immunomodulation approach is proposed, chelating Cu-Sr bilayer bioactive glass nanoparticles (CS-BGNs) onto the PEEK surface via polydopamine (PDA). The CS-BGNs possess a bilayer core-shell structure where copper is distributed in the outer layer and strontium is clustered in the inner layer. The results show that CS-BGNs/PDA functionalized PEEK demonstrates a controlled and sequential release of Cu2+ and Sr2+ . In the early stage, Cu2+ from the outer layer releases rapidly, while Sr2+ from the inner layer releases in the late stage. This well-ordered release pattern modulates the phenotypic transition of macrophages, which induces M1 polarization in the early stage and M2 polarization in the late stage. Combined with the direct effects of Cu2+ and Sr2+ , the spatiotemporal immunomodulation not only benefits the early antibacterial and tissue-healing process, but also promotes the long-term process of osseointegration, providing new perspectives on the design of novel immunomodulatory biomaterials.

Abstract
Artificial bone grafting materials such as collagen are gaining interest due to the ease of production and implantation. However, collagen must be supplemented with additional coating materials for improved osteointegration. Here, we report room-temperature atomic layer deposition (ALD) of MgO, a novel method to coat collagen membranes with MgO. Characterization techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and electron beam dispersion mapping confirm the chemical nature of the film. Scanning electron and atomic force microscopies show the surface topography and morphology of the collagen fibers were not altered during the ALD of MgO. Slow release of magnesium ions promotes bone growth, and we show the deposited MgO film leaches trace amounts of Mg when incubated in phosphate-buffered saline at 37 °C. The coated collagen membrane had a superhydrophilic surface immediately after the deposition of MgO. The film was not toxic to human cells and demonstrated antibacterial properties against bacterial biofilms. Furthermore, in vivo studies performed on calvaria rats showed MgO-coated membranes (200 and 500 ALD) elicit a higher inflammatory response, leading to an increase in angiogenesis and a greater bone formation, mainly for Col-MgO500, compared to uncoated collagen. Based on the characterization of the MgO film and in vitro and in vivo data, the MgO-coated collagen membranes are excellent candidates for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Sol-gel borate bioactive glasses (BGs) are promising ion-releasing biomaterials for wound healing applications. Here, we report the synthesis of a series of binary B2O3-CaO borate BGs (CaO ranging from 50 to 90 mol%) using a sol-gel-based method. The influence of CaO content in B2O3-CaO borate BG on morphology, structure and ion release behavior was investigated in detail. Reduced dissolution (ion release) and crystallization could be observed in borate BGs when CaO content increased, while the morphology was not significantly altered by increasing CaO content. Our results evidenced that the ion release behavior of borate BGs could be tailored by tuning the B2O3/CaO molar ratio. We also evaluated the in vitro cytotoxicity, hemostatic, antibacterial and angiogenic activities of borate BGs. Cytocompatibility was validated for all borate BGs. However, borate BGs exhibited composition-dependent hemostatic, antibacterial and angiogenic activities. Generally, higher contents of Ca in borate BGs facilitated hemostatic activity, while higher contents of B2O3 were beneficial for pro-angiogenic activity. The synthesized sol-gel-derived borate BGs are promising materials for developing advanced wound healing dressings, given their fast ion release behavior and favorable hemostatic, antibacterial and angiogenic activities.

Bioactive glasses promote rapid pre-osteoblastic cell migration in contrast to hydroxyapatite, while carbonated apatite shows migration inhibiting properties. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20587.

Abstract
Different biomaterials have been clinically used as bone filling materials, although the mechanisms behind the biological effects are incompletely understood. To address this, we compared the effects of five different biomaterials: two bioactive glasses (45S5 and S53P4), hydroxyapatite (HAP), carbonated apatite (CAP), and alumina on the in vitro migration and viability of pre-osteoblastic cells. In addition, we studied the effects of biomaterials' calcium release on cell migration, viability and differentiation. We found differences between the materials as the bioactive glasses promoted rapid pre-osteoblastic cell migration. In contrast, CAP decreased cell migration, which was also associated with lower activity of migration related kinases. Bioactive glasses released significant amounts of calcium into the media, while CAP decreased the calcium concentration. The response of cells to calcium was mechanistically studied by blocking calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) and ATP-gated ion channel P2X7, but this had no effect on cell migration. Surprisingly, HAP and CAP initially decreased cell viability. In summary, bioactive glasses 45S5 and S53P4 had significant and long-lasting effects on the pre-osteoblastic cell migration, which could be related to the observed calcium dissolution. Additionally, bioactive glasses had no negative effects on cell viability, which was observed with HAP and CAP.

Abstract
Bone tissue regenerative material serves as a prospective recovery candidate with self-adaptable biological properties of bio-activation, degradability, compatibility, and antimicrobial efficacy instead of metallic implants. Such materials are highly expensive due to chemical reagents and complex synthesis procedures, making them unaffordable for patients with financial constraints. This research produced an efficient bone tissue regenerative material using inexpensive naturally occurring source materials, including silica sand and limestone. The extracted SiO2and CaO particles (75:25 wt%) were subjected to hydrothermal synthesis (water treatment instead of chemical solvents) to produce the CaSiO3biomaterial (code: S). Selenium oxide was doped with calcium silicate at 3, 5, and 10 wt.% to enhance its properties, yielding biocomposite materials (i.e. S3, S5, and S10). The physico-mechanical properties of these materials were investigated with x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, FESEM-EDS, and micro-universal testing machine. The results revealed that the synthesized biocomposites have a crystalline wollastonite phase with a porously fused rough surface. From structural parametric calculations, we found that the biocomposites have reduced particle size and enhanced surface area due to the influence of selenium oxide. The biocomposite S10, having high SeO2content, attained the maximum compressive strength of 75.2 MPa.In-vitrostudies of bioactivity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity were performed. At 7 and 14 d of bioactivity, the synthesized biocomposites are capable of dissolving their ions into simulated body fluid (SBF) solution to precipitate hydroxyapatite and a required Ca/P ratio of 1.69 was achieved by S3. A comparative analysis has been performed on the degradation activity in Tris-HCl and the consequent pH changes during SBF treatment. The bio-analysis revealed that the biocomposite S3 shows enhanced bioactivity through a controlled degradation rate and secured cell viability of 88% at a concentration of 100 μg ml-1. It also offers significant bacterial inhibition potency againstE.coliandS.aureusbacteria.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are ideal biomaterials in the field of bio-restoration due to their excellent biocompatibility. Titanium alloys are widely used as a bone graft substitute material because of their excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties; however, their biological inertness makes them prone to clinical failure. Surface modification of titanium alloys with bioactive glass can effectively combine the superior mechanical properties of the substrate with the biological properties of the coating material. In this review, the relevant articles published from 2013 to the present were searched in four databases, namely, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, and after screening, 49 studies were included. We systematically reviewed the basic information and the study types of the included studies, which comprise in vitro experiments, animal tests, and clinical trials. In addition, we summarized the applied coating technologies, which include pulsed laser deposition (PLD), electrophoretic deposition, dip coating, and magnetron sputtering deposition. The superior biocompatibility of the materials in terms of cytotoxicity, cell activity, hemocompatibility, anti-inflammatory properties, bioactivity, and their good bioactivity in terms of osseointegration, osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and soft tissue adhesion are discussed. We also analyzed the advantages of the existing materials and the prospects for further research. Even though the current research status is not extensive enough, it is still believed that BG-coated Ti implants have great clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Several years have passed since the medical and scientific communities leaned toward tissue engineering as the most promising field to aid bone diseases and defects resulting from degenerative conditions or trauma. Owing to their histocompatibility and non-immunogenicity, bone grafts, precisely autografts, have long been the gold standard in bone tissue therapies. However, due to issues associated with grafting, especially the surgical risks and soaring prices of the procedures, alternatives are being extensively sought and researched. Fibrous and non-fibrous materials, synthetic substitutes, or cell-based products are just a few examples of research directions explored as potential solutions. A very promising subgroup of these replacements involves hydrogels. Biomaterials resembling the bone extracellular matrix and therefore acting as 3D scaffolds, providing the appropriate mechanical support and basis for cell growth and tissue regeneration. Additional possibility of using various stimuli in the form of growth factors, cells, etc., within the hydrogel structure, extends their use as bioactive agent delivery platforms and acts in favor of their further directed development. The aim of this review is to bring the reader closer to the fascinating subject of hydrogel scaffolds and present the potential of these materials, applied in bone and cartilage tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
The introduction of bioactive glasses (BGs) precipitated a paradigm shift in the medical industry and opened the path for the development of contemporary regenerative medicine driven by biomaterials. This composition can bond to live bone and can induce osteogenesis by the release of physiologically active ions. 45S5 BG products have been transplanted effectively into millions of patients around the world, primarily to repair bone and dental defects. Over the years, many other BG compositions have been introduced as innovative biomaterials for repairing soft tissue and delivering drugs. When research first started, many of the accomplishments that have been made today were unimaginable. It appears that the true capacity of BGs has not yet been realized. Because of this, research involving BGs is extremely fascinating. However, to be successful, it requires interdisciplinary cooperation between physicians, glass chemists, and bioengineers. The present paper gives a picture of the existing clinical uses of BGs and illustrates key difficulties deserving to be faced in the future. The challenges range from the potential for BGs to be used in a wide variety of applications. We have high hopes that this paper will be of use to both novice researchers, who are just beginning their journey into the world of BGs, as well as seasoned scientists, in that it will promote conversation regarding potential additional investigation and lead to the discovery of innovative medical applications for BGs.

Gu J, Liu X, Cui P, Yi X. Multifunctional bioactive glasses with spontaneous degradation for simultaneous osteosarcoma therapy and bone regeneration. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213626. [PMID: 37722164 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213626] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/20/2023]
Abstract
For the treatment of tumor-related bone defects resulting from surgical resection, simultaneous eradication of residual tumor cells and repair of bone defects represent a challenge. To date, photothermal therapy based on photothermal materials is used to remove residual tumor cells under near infrared light. However, most of photothermal materials have no function for bone repair, and even if combined with bioactive materials to enhance osteogenesis, they still cause potential harm to the body due to inability to degrade or poor degradability. Herein, multifunctional bioactive glasses (PGFe5-1100, PGCu5-1100) based on phosphate glass doped with transition metal elements were prepared for photothermal ablation, bone regeneration, and controllable degradation. The glasses exhibited excellent photothermal effect, which was derived from the electron in-band transition after light absorption due to energy level splitting of doped transition metal element and the subsequent electron nonradiative relaxation. The photothermal performance can be controlled by laser power density, element doping content and glass melting temperature. Moreover, the hyperthermia induced by the glasses can effectively kill tumor cells in vitro. In addition, the glasses degraded over time, and the released P, Ca, Na, Fe could promote bone cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, these results successfully demonstrated that transition metal element-doped phosphate glasses have multifunctional abilities of tumor elimination, bone regeneration, and spontaneous degradation simultaneously with better biosecurity and bioactivity, which is believed to pave the way for the design of novel biomaterials for osteosarcoma treatment.

Cell-loaded genipin cross-linked collagen/gelatin skin substitute adorned with zinc-doped bioactive glass-ceramic for cutaneous wound regeneration. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 251:125898. [PMID: 37479201 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
An optimal tissue-engineered dermal substitute should possess biocompatibility and cell adhesion conduction to facilitate fibroblast and keratinocyte infiltration and proliferation, as well as angiogenesis potential to escalate wound healing. Zinc was doped to bioactive glass-ceramic (Zn-BGC) to promote biocompatibility and angiogenesis properties. Zn-BGC was then incorporated into a collagen (Col) and gelatin (Gel) porous scaffold. The bioactive porous bionanocomposite exhibited biocompatibility along with improved cell attachment and proliferation. Scaffolds including Col-Gel/Zn-BGC with or without mouse embryonic fibroblasts were applied on full-thickness skin wounds on the BALB/c mice to assess their wound healing potential in vivo. The results indicated that the biodegradation rate of the Col-Gel/Zn-BGC nanocomposites was comparable to the rate of skin tissue regeneration in vivo. Macroscopic wound healing results showed that Col-Gel/Zn-BGC loaded with mouse embryonic fibroblast possesses the smallest wound size, indicating the fastest healing process. Histopathological evaluations displayed that the optimal wound regeneration was observed in Col-Gel/Zn-BGC nanocomposites loaded with mouse embryonic fibroblasts indicated by epithelialization and angiogenesis; besides the number of fibroblasts and hair follicles was increased. The bioactive nanocomposite scaffold of Col-Gel containing Zn-BGC nanoparticles loaded with mouse embryonic fibroblasts can be employed as a desirable skin substitute to ameliorate cutaneous wound regeneration.

Abstract
Wound healing is a long-term, multi-stage biological process that mainly includes haemostatic, inflammatory, proliferative and tissue remodelling phases. Controlling infection and inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration can contribute well to wound healing. Smart biomaterials offer significant advantages in wound healing because of their ability to control wound healing in time and space. Understanding how biomaterials are designed for different stages of wound healing will facilitate future personalized material tailoring for different wounds, making them beneficial for wound therapy. This review summarizes the design approaches of biomaterials in the field of anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and tissue regeneration, highlights the advanced precise control achieved by biomaterials in different stages of wound healing and outlines the clinical and practical applications of biomaterials in wound healing.

Abstract
Silicon nitride, an emerging bioceramic material, is highly sought after in the biomedical industry due to its osteogenesis-promoting properties, which are a result of its unique surface chemistry and excellent mechanical properties. Currently, it is used in clinics as an orthopedic implant material. The osteogenesis-promoting properties of silicon nitride are manifested in its contribution to the formation of a local osteogenic microenvironment, wherein silicon nitride and its hydrolysis products influence osteogenesis by modulating the biological behaviors of the constituents of the osteogenic microenvironment. In particular, silicon nitride regulates redox signaling, cellular autophagy, glycolysis, and bone mineralization in cells involved in bone formation via several mechanisms. Moreover, it may also promote osteogenesis by influencing immune regulation and angiogenesis. In addition, the wettability, surface morphology, and charge of silicon nitride play crucial roles in regulating its osteogenesis-promoting properties. However, as a bioceramic material, the molding process of silicon nitride needs to be optimized, and its osteogenic mechanism must be further investigated. Herein, we summarize the impact of the molding process of silicon nitride on its osteogenic properties and clinical applications. In addition, the mechanisms of silicon nitride in promoting osteogenesis are discussed, followed by a summary of the current gaps in silicon nitride mechanism research. This review, therefore, aims to provide novel ideas for the future development and applications of silicon nitride.

Abstract
The current treatment for periodontitis is aimed at resolving gingival inflammation, whilst complete periodontal tissue regeneration is not predictable, and it represents a therapeutic challenge. Injectable biomaterials hold tremendous potential in dental tissue regeneration. This study aimed to investigate the ability of an injectable thermosensitive β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and chitosan-based hydrogel to carry cells and promote periodontal tissue regeneration. In this study, different concentrations of β-TCP-loaded chitosan hydrogels were prepared (0%, 2%, 4%, or 6% β-TCP, 10% β-glycerol phosphate, and 1.5% chitosan). The characteristics of the hydrogels were tested using rheology, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), degradation, and biological analyses. The new biomaterial showed a sol-gel transformation ability at body temperature and exhibited excellent chemical and physical characteristics, whilst the existence of β-TCP enhanced the structure and the properties of the hydrogels. The SEM confirmed the three-dimensional networks of the hydrogels, and the typical rheological properties of strong gel were observed. The EDX and XRD validated the successful incorporation of β-TCP, and similar patterns between different groups were found in terms of the FTIR spectra. The stable structure of the hydrogels under 100 °C was confirmed via DSC. Biological tests such as Alamar Blue assay and Live/Dead staining confirmed the remarkable biocompatibility of the hydrogels with pre-osteoblast MC3T3-E1 and human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cells for 14 days, and the results were validated with confocal imaging. This preliminary study shows great promise for the application of the β-TCP-loaded thermosensitive chitosan hydrogels as a scaffold in periodontal bone and soft tissue repair.

Abstract
The ideal skull defect repairing material should have good biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and contribute to osteogenesis. In this study, we designed and fabricated biodegradable, bioactive and mechanically robust porous scaffolds composed completely of biological materials. We used a gelatin-chitosan blend as the matrix, sodium phytate instead of toxic glutaraldehyde for cross-linking, and the pH-neutral bioactive glass (PSC) to improve biological activity and mechanical properties. The chitosan-gelatin-30%PSC/sodium phytate composite scaffold avoided the problems of high toxicity in conventional cross-linking agents with glutaraldehyde, the poor mechanical support of the pure chitosan or gelatin scaffold, and the mismatch of the degradation rate with bone repair, becoming a promising new candidate for skull defect repair.

Abstract
In order to understand the nature of ionic clustering in bioactive glass compositions, computer simulation was used to model four different compositions of bioactive glass with various amounts of flouride and phosphate. Fluoride ions were chemically bonded only to sodium and calcium, creating regions rich in fluoride and modifiers, and fluoride clustering was seen to be present in all compositions. The majority of phosphate groups are present as orthophosphate and phosphate clustering is also seen, and shown to be stronger in compositions with a lower phosphate content. This article is part of the theme issue 'Exploring the length scales, timescales and chemistry of challenging materials (Part 1)'.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1203.

Abstract
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo bone formation behavior of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles incorporated in a pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100G10) was studied in a metaphyseal fracture-defect model in ovariectomized rats and compared to a plain pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100) and control (empty defect) group, respectively. In vitro testing showed good cytocompatibility on human preosteoblasts and ongoing dissolution of the MBG component. Neither the released strontium nor the BMG particles from the pS100G10 had a negative influence on cell viability. Forty-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three different treatment groups: (1) pS100 (n = 15), (2) pS100G10 (n = 15), and (3) empty defect (n = 15). Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy and multi-deficient diet, a 4 mm wedge-shaped fracture-defect was created at the metaphyseal area of the left femur in all animals. The originated fracture-defect was substituted with pS100 or pS100G10 or left empty. After six weeks, histomorphometrical analysis revealed a statistically significant higher bone volume/tissue volume ratio in the pS100G10 group compared to the pS100 (p = 0.03) and empty defect groups (p = 0.0001), indicating enhanced osteoconductivity with the incorporation of MBG. Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant decrease in the RANKL/OPG ratio for pS100 (p = 0.004) and pS100G10 (p = 0.003) compared to the empty defect group. pS100G10 showed a statistically higher expression of BMP-2. In addition, a statistically significant higher gene expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin, collagen1a1, collagen10a1 with a simultaneous decrease in RANKL, and carbonic anhydrase was seen in the pS100 and pS100G10 groups compared to the empty defect group. Mass spectrometric imaging by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) showed the release of Sr2+ ions from both pS100 and pS100G10, with a gradient into the interface region. ToF-SIMS imaging also revealed that resorption of the MBG particles allowed for new bone formation in cement pores. In summary, the current work shows better bone formation of the injectable pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement with incorporated mesoporous bioactive glass compared to the bioactive-free bone cement and empty defects and can be considered for clinical application for osteopenic fracture defects in the future.

Abstract
Despite over 50 years of silicate bioactive glass (SBG) research, commercial success, and 6000+ published articles, there remains a lack of understanding of how soluble silicate (Si) species released from SBGs influences cellular responses. Using a systematic approach, this article quantitatively compares the in vitro responses of cells to SBG dissolution products reported in the literature and determines if there is a Si concentration ([Si]) dependent effect on cell behaviour. Cell behavioural responses to SBGs [Si] in dissolution products included metabolic activity (reported in 52 % of articles), cell number (24 %), protein production (22 %), gene expression (22 %) and biomineralization (24 %). There was a difference in the [Si] reported to cause increased (desirable) cellular responses (median = 30.2 ppm) compared to the [Si] reported to cause decreased (undesirable) cellular responses (median = 52.0 ppm) (P ≤ 0.001). The frequency of undesirable outcomes increased with increasing [Si], with ∼3 times more negative outcomes reported above 52 ppm. We also investigated the effect of [Si] on specific cellular outcomes (e.g., metabolic activity, angiogenesis, osteogenesis), if cell type/species influenced these responses and the impact of other ions (Ca, P, Na) within the SBG dissolution media on cell behaviour. This review has, for the first time, quantitatively compared the cellular responses to SBGs from the literature, providing a quantitative overview of SBG in vitro practices and presents evidence of a range of [Si] where desirable cellular responses may be more likely (30-52 ppm). This review also demonstrates the need for greater standardisation of in vitro methodological approaches and recommends some minimum reporting standards. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This systematic review investigates the relationship between the concentration of Si released from Si-bioactive glasses (SBG) and in vitro cellular responses. Si releasing materials continue to be of considerable scientific, commercial, and medical interest (with 1500+ articles published in the last 3 years) but there is considerable variation in the reported biologically effective Si concentrations and on the importance of Si on cell behaviour. Despite the variation in methodological approaches, this article demonstrated statistical commonalities in the Si concentrations that cause desirable and undesirable cellular behaviours, suggesting a window where positive cellular outcomes are more likely. This review also provides a quantitative analysis of in vitro practices within the bioactive glass field and highlights the need for greater standardisation.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to review the application of bioceramic materials in the context of current regenerative dentistry therapies, focusing on the latest advances in the synthesis of advanced materials using the sol-gel methodology. Chemical synthesis, processing and therapeutic possibilities are discussed in a structured way, according to the three main types of ceramic materials used in regenerative dentistry: bioactive glasses and glass ceramics, calcium phosphates and calcium silicates. The morphology and chemical composition of these bioceramics play a crucial role in their biological properties and effectiveness in dental therapeutics. The goal is to understand their chemical, surface, mechanical and biological properties better and develop strategies to control their pore structure, shape, size and compositions. Over the past decades, bioceramic materials have provided excellent results in a wide variety of clinical applications related to hard tissue repair and regeneration. Characteristics, such as their similarity to the chemical composition of the mineral phase of bones and teeth, as well as the possibilities offered by the advances in nanotechnology, are driving the development of new biomimetic materials that are required in regenerative dentistry. The sol-gel technique is a method for producing synthetic bioceramics with high purity and homogeneity at the molecular scale and to control the surfaces, interfaces and porosity at the nanometric scale. The intrinsic nanoporosity of materials produced by the sol-gel technique correlates with the high specific surface area, reactivity and bioactivity of advanced bioceramics.

Reduced Sodium Portions Favor Osteogenic Properties and Cytocompatibility of 45S5-Based Bioactive Glass Particles. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:472. [PMID: 37887603 PMCID: PMC10604502 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8060472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2023] [Revised: 09/23/2023] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Besides its favorable biological properties, the release of sodium (Na) from the well-known 45S5-bioactive glass (BG) composition (in mol%: 46.1, SiO2, 24.5 CaO, 24.5 Na2O, 6.0 P2O5) can hamper its cytocompatibility. In this study, particles of Na-reduced variants of 45S5-BG were produced in exchange for CaO and P2O5 via the sol-gel-route resulting in Na contents of 75%, 50%, 25% or 0% of the original composition. The release of ions from the BGs as well as their impact on the cell environment (pH values), viability and osteogenic differentiation (activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP)), the expression of osteopontin and osteocalcin in human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells in correlation to the Na-content and ion release of the BGs was assessed. The release of Na-ions increased with increasing Na-content in the BGs. With decreasing Na content, the viability of cells incubated with the BGs increased. The Na-reduced BGs showed elevated ALP activity and a pro-osteogenic stimulation with accelerated osteopontin induction and a pronounced upregulation of osteocalcin. In conclusion, the reduction in Na-content enhances the cytocompatibility and improves the osteogenic properties of 45S5-BG, making the Na-reduced variants of 45S5-BG promising candidates for further experimental consideration.

Mater Today Bio 2023; 22:100749. [PMID: 37545569 PMCID: PMC10400930 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Facilitating regeneration of the tendon-to-bone interface can reduce the risk of postoperative retear after rotator cuff repair. Unfortunately, undesirable inflammatory responses following injury, difficulties in fibrocartilage regeneration, and bone loss in the surrounding area are major contributors to suboptimal tendon-bone healing. Thus, the development of biomaterials capable of regulating macrophage polarization to a favorable phenotype and promoting the synchronous regeneration of the tendon-to-bone interface is currently a top priority. Here, strontium-doped mesoporous bioglass nanoparticles (Sr-MBG) were synthesized through a modulated sol-gel method and Bi-lineage Inducible and Immunoregulatory Electrospun Fibers Scaffolds (BIIEFS) containing Sr-MBG were fabricated. The BIIEFS were biocompatible, showed sustained release of multiple types of bioactive ions, enhanced osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and facilitated macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype in vitro. The implantation of BIIEFS at the torn rotator cuff resulted in greater numbers of M2 macrophages and the synchronous regeneration of tendon, fibrocartilage, and bone at the tendon-to-bone interface, leading to a significant improvement in the biomechanical strength of the supraspinatus tendon-humerus complexes. Our research offers a feasible strategy to fabricate immunoregulatory and multi-lineage inducible electrospun fibers scaffolds incorporating bioglass nanoparticles for the regeneration of soft-to-hard tissue interfaces.

Abstract
Biocompatible fibrous scaffold containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 70S30C bioactive glass (BG), silver (Ag) nanoparticles and curcumin (Cur) was fabricated through electrospinning method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were employed to investigate the morphological characteristics of the scaffolds. In addition, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and contact angle were studied as criteria for evaluating physical properties of the scaffolds. Tensile strength was reported to be 0.971 ± 0.093 MPa. Also, the viability of fibroblasts after 7 days of cell culture was 93.58 ± 1.36 %. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was illustrated using inhibition zones of 13.12 ± 0.69 and 14.21 ± 1.37 mm, respectively. Histological results revealed that tissue regeneration after 14 days of surgery was much higher for the dressing group compared to the blank group. According to the obtained results, the authors introduce the PVA-BG-Ag-Cur scaffold as a promising candidate for skin tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Many tissue engineering constructs have been investigated for repairing the calcified cartilage layer in the recent years, but engineering a consistent and stable interface to facilitate a graft-to-bone fixation remains a concern. In the work, hydroxyapatite (HA) is modified by diisocyanate (HDI) and integrated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to prepare the hydrogel. The IR shows that HDI is grafted onto HA and helps HA to cross-link in situ in the PVA gel network. When the mass ratio of HA/PVA is 3.5 wt%, the swelling rate in the PBS of different pH reduced with time prolong, and the hydrogel takes on good swelling resistance. The tensile strength and toughness are 1890 KPa and 264 KJ/m-3, respectively, while the compression strength reaches 1125 KPa at compressive strain of 60%. The hydrogel not only is well durable via continuous 100 rounds of compression-recovery, but also has excellent bioactivity. The work will provide a platform for developing multifunctional soft tissue scaffold.

Abstract
Hierarchical pores are important structural components of the bone tissue and are closely related to angiogenesis, nutrient transport, and metabolism involved in the repair of a bone defect. Here, we fabricated a composite scaffold having a hierarchical structure, based on micro-nano bioactive glass (MNBG) incorporated into poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), and with camphene as a pore-forming agent for bone repair. The results showed that camphene formed abundant micropores in the walls of large pores, resulting in hierarchical pore structures ranging from a few microns to a hundred microns. Moreover, there was 2-3 folds increased in compressive modulus and the scaffolds showed a stable degradation rate and a higher degree of apatite crystallization than ordinary porous scaffolds. The results of in vitro studies showed that, when compared to ordinary porous scaffolds, PLGA-MNBG scaffolds with multi-holes could better promote the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and the expression of angiogenic marker (CD31) of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is being increasingly recognized as a highly promising polymer implant in orthopaedics due to its advantageous biocompatibility, favorable processability, and radiation resistance. Nonetheless, the long-term application of PEEK implants in vivo faces challenges due to unfavorable post-implantation inflammatory and immune reactions, which result in suboptimal osseointegration rates. Hence, biofunctionalizing the surface of PEEK implants emerges as a viable strategy to enhance osseointegration and increase the success rate. In this study, we developed a multifunctional PEEK implant through the in-situ incorporation of chitosan-coated bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNs). This approach can impart immunomodulatory properties and enhance the potential for osseointegration. The resulting biofunctionalized PEEK material exhibited multiple beneficial effects. For instance, it facilitated M2 phenotypic polarization of macrophages, diminished the expression of inflammatory factors, and enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro. Moreover, it exhibited an improved capacity for osseointegration when tested in vivo. The findings of the experiment highlighted the pivotal and complex role of the biofunctionalized PEEK implant in maintaining typical bone immunity and metabolism. The study proposes that the application of chitosan-BGNs presents a straightforward approach to developing multifunctional implants with the ability to promote biomineralization and immunomodulation, specifically tailored for orthopaedic applications.

Abstract
Borate bioactive glasses have gained attention in recent years due to their therapeutic and regenerative effects in vivo. However, borate bioactive glasses release alkaline ions, increasing the local pH and creating a toxic environment for cell culture studies. A partial compositional substitution of phosphate for borate can create a pH-neutral glass that does not significantly affect the local pH while still releasing therapeutic ions. In the present study, a series of Na-Ca-borophosphate bioactive glasses with different borate-to-phosphate ratios was evaluated in vitro and in vivo for cytotoxicity and angiogenic effects. Compared to more basic borate glasses, the pH-neutral glasses supported endothelial cell migration and stimulated greater blood vessel formation in a chick chorioallantoic membrane model. The results from this study indicate that these pH-neutral glasses are promising angiogenic biomaterials for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Although yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) ceramics have been widely used as restorative materials due to their high mechanical strength, unique esthetic effect, and good biocompatibility, their general application to implant materials is still limited by their biological inertness and hydrothermal aging phenomenon. Existing studies have attempted to investigate how to enhance the bioactivity or hydrothermal aging resistance of Y-TZP. Still, more studies need to be done on the modification that combines these two aspects. In this study, Y-TZP was prepared by 77S bioactive glass (BG) sol and akermanite (AKT) sol infiltration and microwave sintering, which provided Y-TZP with high bioactivity while maintaining resistance to hydrothermal aging. Results of phase composition evaluation, microstructural characteristics, and mechanical property tests showed that modified Y-TZP specimens exhibited little or no tetragonal-to-monoclinic (t → m) transformation and maintained relatively high mechanical properties after accelerated hydrothermal aging treatment. The in vitro biological behaviors showed that the introduction of 77S BG and AKT significantly promoted cell adhesion, spreading, viability, and proliferation on the surface of modified Y-TZP ceramics. Therefore, this modification could effectively enhance the bioactivity and hydrothermal aging resistance of Y-TZP ceramics for its application in dental implant materials.

Abstract
Since the introduction of the 45S5-bioactive glass (BG), numerous new BG compositions have been developed. Compared to the 45S5-BG, 1393-BG shows favorable processing properties due to its low crystallization tendency and the 1393-BG-based borosilicate 0106-B1-BG exhibits improved angiogenic properties due to its boron content. Despite their close (chemical) relationship, the biological properties of the mentioned BG composition have not yet been comparatively examined. In this study, the effects of the BGs on proliferation, viability, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic factor production of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were assessed. Scaffolds made of the BGs were introduced in a critical-sized femur defect model in rats in order to analyze their impact on bone defect regeneration. In vitro, 1393-BG and 0106-B1-BG outperformed 45S5-BG with regard to cell proliferation and viability. 1393-BG enhanced osteogenic differentiation; 0106-B1-BG promoted angiogenic factor production. In vivo, 0106-B1-BG and 45S5-BG outperformed 1393-BG in terms of angiogenic and osteoclastic response resulting in improved bone regeneration. In conclusion, the biological properties of BGs can be significantly modified by tuning their composition. Demonstrating favorable processing properties and an equally strong in vivo bone regeneration potential as 45S5-BG, 0106-B1-BG qualifies as a basis to incorporate other bioactive ions to improve its biological properties.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:6397. [PMID: 37834536 PMCID: PMC10573918 DOI: 10.3390/ma16196397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Revised: 09/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023]
Abstract
Synthetic calcium phosphates, e.g., hydroxyapatite (HAP) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), are the most commonly used bone-graft materials due to their high chemical similarity to the natural hydroxyapatite-the inorganic component of bones. Calcium in the form of a free ion or bound complexes plays a key role in many biological functions, including bone regeneration. This paper explores the possibility of increasing the Ca2+-ion release from HAP nanoparticles (NPs) by reducing their size. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were obtained through microwave hydrothermal synthesis. Particles with a specific surface area ranging from 51 m2/g to 240 m2/g and with sizes of 39, 29, 19, 11, 10, and 9 nm were used in the experiment. The structure of the nanomaterial was also studied by means of helium pycnometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission-electron microscopy (TEM). The calcium-ion release into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was studied. The highest release of Ca2+ ions, i.e., 18 mg/L, was observed in HAP with a specific surface area 240 m2/g and an average nanoparticle size of 9 nm. A significant increase in Ca2+-ion release was also observed with specific surface areas of 183 m2/g and above, and with nanoparticle sizes of 11 nm and below. No substantial size dependence was observed for the larger particle sizes.

Abstract
Fairly high concentrations of magnesium and lithium are conducive to improving the osteogenic and angiogenic capacities. In the current study, lithium-containing magnesium phosphate-based ceramics (AMP/LMPGs) were prepared from amorphous magnesium phosphate (AMP) at a low sintering temperature (650 °C), and the lithium/magnesium-containing phosphate glasses (LMPGs) were utilized as sintering additives. During the sintering procedure of AMP/LMPGs, the AMP reacted with LMPGs, producing new compounds. The AMP/LMPGs displayed nano-size grains and plentiful micropores. The addition of LMPGs noticeably increased the porosity as well as compressive strength of the AMP/LMPGs ceramics. The AMP/LMPGs sustainedly released Mg, P and Li ions, forming Mg-rich ionic microenvironment, which ameliorated cellular proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and proangiogenic capacities. The AMP/LMPGs ceramics with considerably high compressive strength, osteostimulation and proangiogenic effects were expected to efficiently regenerate the bone defects.

Abstract
In recent decades, bone tissue engineering, which is supported by scaffold, seed cells and bioactive molecules (BMs), has provided new hope and direction for treating bone defects. In terms of seed cells, compared to bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, which were widely utilized in previous years, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are becoming increasingly favored by researchers due to their abundant sources, easy availability and multi-differentiation potentials. However, there is no systematic theoretical basis for selecting appropriate biomaterials loaded with ADSCs. In this review, the regulatory effects of various biomaterials on the behavior of ADSCs are summarized from four perspectives, including biocompatibility, inflammation regulation, angiogenesis and osteogenesis, to illustrate the potential of combining various materials with ADSCs for the treatment of bone defects. In addition, we conclude the influence of additional application of various BMs on the bone repair effect of ADSCs, in order to provide more evidences and support for the selection or preparation of suitable biomaterials and BMs to work with ADSCs. More importantly, the associated clinical case reports and experiments are generalized to provide additional ideas for the clinical transformation and application of bone tissue engineering loaded with ADSCs.

Abstract
Introduction The lack of osteoinductive, angiogenic and antimicrobial properties of hydroxyapatite coatings (HA) on titanium surfaces severely limits their use in orthopedic and dental implants. Therefore, we doped SiO2, Gd2O3 and CeO2 nanoparticles into HA to fabricate a HASiGdCe coating with a combination of decent antibacterial, angiogenic and osteogenic properties by the plasma spraying technique. Methods The HASiGdCe coating was analyzed by SEM (EDS), surface roughness tests, contact angle tests, XRD, FTIR spectroscopy, tensile tests and electrochemical dynamic polarization tests. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO-1) were used as representative bacteria to verify the antibacterial properties of the HASiGdCe coating. We evaluated the cytocompatibility and in vitro osteoinductivity of the HASiGdCe coating by investigating its effect on the cell viability and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. We assessed the in vitro angiogenic activity of the HASiGdCe coating by migration assay, tube formation assay, and RT‒PCR analysis of angiogenic genes in HUVECs. Finally, we used infected animal femur models to investigate the biosafety, antimicrobial and osteointegration properties of the HASiGdCe coating in vivo. Results Through various characterization experiments, we demonstrated that the HASiGdCe coating has suitable microscopic morphology, physical phase characteristics, bonding strength and bioactivity to meet the coating criteria for orthopedic implants. The HASiGdCe coating can release Gd3+ and Ce4+, showing strong antibacterial properties against MRSA and PAO-1. The HASiGdCe coating has been shown to have superior osteogenic and angiogenic properties compared to the HA coating in in vitro cellular experiments. Animal implantation experiments have shown that the HASiGdCe coating also has excellent biosafety, antimicrobial and osteogenic properties in vivo. Conclusion The HASiGdCe coating confers excellent antibacterial, angiogenic and osteogenic properties on titanium implants, which can effectively enhance implant osseointegration and prevent bacterial infections, and it accordingly has promising applications in the treatment of bone defects related to orthopedic and dental sciences.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate materials and materials based on silicon dioxide have been actively studied for more than 50 years due to their high biocompatibility and bioactivity. Hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate are the most known among calcium phosphate materials, and Bioglass 45S5 is the most known material in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system. Each of these materials has its application limits; however, some of them can be eliminated by obtaining composites based on calcium phosphate and bioglass. In this article, we provide an overview of the role of silicon and its compounds, including Bioglass 45S5, consider calcium phosphate materials, talk about the limits of each material, demonstrate the potential of the composites based on them, and show the other ways of obtaining composite ceramics in the Na2O-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 system.

Abstract
Hair loss caused by the abnormal functions of hair follicles in skin can seriously impact the quality of an individual's life. The development of sophisticated skin tissue-engineered constructs is required to enable the function recovery of hair follicles. However, effective hair regrowth in skin substitutes still remains a great challenge. In this study, a 3D multicellular micropattern was successfully fabricated by arranging the hair follicle-related cells orderly distributed in the interval of vascular-cell networks via bioprinting technology. By combining the stable biomimetic micropattern structure and the bio-inducing substrate incorporated with magnesium silicate (MS) nanomaterials, the 3D multicellular micropattern possessed significant follicular potential and angiogenic capacity in vitro. Furthermore, the 3D multicellular micropattern with MS incorporation contributed to efficient hair regrowth during skin tissue regeneration in both immunodeficient mice and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) mice models. Thus, this study proposes a novel 3D micropatterned multicellular system assembling a biomimetic micro-structure and modulating the cell-cell interaction for hair regeneration during skin reconstruction.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are especially useful materials in soft and bone tissue engineering and even in dentistry. They can be the solution to many medical problems, and they have a huge role in the healing processes of bone fractures. Interestingly, they can also promote skin regeneration and wound healing. Bioactive glasses are able to attach to the bone tissues and form an apatite layer which further initiates the biomineralization process. The formed intermediate apatite layer makes a connection between the hard tissue and the bioactive glass material which results in faster healing without any complications or side effects. This review paper summarizes the most recent advancement in the preparation of diverse types of BGs, such as silicate-, borate- and phosphate-based bioactive glasses. We discuss their physical, chemical, and mechanical properties detailing how they affect their biological performances. In order to get a deeper insight into the state-of-the-art in this area, we also consider their medical applications, such as bone regeneration, wound care, and dental/bone implant coatings.

Abstract
Due to the aging of population, materials able to repair damaged tissues are needed. Among others, bioactive glasses (BGs) have attracted a lot of interest due to their outstanding properties both for hard and soft tissues. Here, for the first time, two new BGs, which gave very promising results in preliminary in vitro-tests, were implanted in animals in order to evaluate their regenerative potential. The new BGs, named BGMS10 and Bio_MS and containing specific therapeutic ions, were produced in granules and implanted in rabbits' femurs for up to 60 days, to test their biocompatibility and osteoconduction. Additionally, granules of 45S5 Bioglass® were employed and used as a standard reference for comparison. The results showed that, after 30 days, the two novel BGs and 45S5 displayed a similar behavior, in terms of bone amount, thickness of new bone trabeculae and affinity index. On the contrary, after 60 days, 45S5 granules were mainly surrounded by wide and scattered bone trabeculae, separated by large amounts of soft tissue, while in BGMS10 and Bio_MS the trabeculae were thin and uniformly distributed around the BG granules. This latter scenario could be considered as more advantageous, since the features of the two novel BG granules allowed for the neo-formation of a uniformly distributed bony trabeculae, predictive of more favorable mechanical behavior, compared to the less uniform coarse trabeculae, separated by large areas of soft tissue in 45S5 granules. Thus, BGMS10 and Bio_MS could be considered suitable products for tissue regeneration in the orthopedic and dental fields.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms and the loss of periodontal supporting tissue. However, the existing local drug delivery system for periodontitis has some problems including subpar antibacterial impact, easy loss, and unsatisfactory periodontal regeneration. In this study, a multi-functional and sustained release drug delivery system (MB/BG@LG) was developed by encapsulating methylene blue (MB) and bioactive glass (BG) into the lipid gel (LG) precursor by Macrosol technology. The properties of MB/BG@LG were characterized using a scanning electron microscope, a dynamic shear rotation rheometer, and a release curve. The results showed that MB/BG@LG could not only sustained release for 16 days, but also quickly fill the irregular bone defect caused by periodontitis through in situ hydration. Under 660 nm light irradiation, methylene blue-produced reactive oxygen species (ROS) can reduce local inflammatory response by inhibiting bacterial growth. In addition, in vitro and vivo experiments have shown that MB/BG@LG can effectively promote periodontal tissue regeneration by reducing inflammatory response, promoting cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. In summary, MB/BG@LG exhibited excellent adhesion properties, self-assembly properties, and superior drug release control capabilities, which improved the clinical feasibility of its application in complex oral environments.

Abstract
Bone healing is a complex process orchestrated by various factors, such as mechanical, chemical and electrical cues. Creating synthetic biomaterials that combine several of these factors leading to tailored and controlled tissue regeneration, is the goal of scientists worldwide. Among those factors is piezoelectricity which creates a physiological electrical microenvironment that plays an important role in stimulating bone cells and fostering bone regeneration. However, only a limited number of studies have addressed the potential of combining piezoelectric biomaterials with state-of-the-art fabrication methods to fabricate tailored scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Here, we present an approach that takes advantage of modern additive manufacturing techniques to create macroporous biomaterial scaffolds based on a piezoelectric and bioactive ceramic-crystallised glass composite. Using binder jetting, scaffolds made of barium titanate and 45S5 bioactive glass are fabricated and extensively characterised with respect to their physical and functional properties. The 3D-printed ceramic-crystallised glass composite scaffolds show both suitable mechanical strength and bioactive behaviour, as represented by the accumulation of bone-like calcium phosphate on the surface. Piezoelectric scaffolds that mimic or even surpass bone with piezoelectric constants ranging from 1 to 21 pC/N are achieved, depending on the composition of the composite. Using MC3T3-E1 osteoblast precursor cells, the scaffolds show high cytocompatibility coupled with cell attachment and proliferation, rendering the barium titanate/45S5 ceramic-crystallised glass composites promising candidates for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
It is widely known that bone has intrinsic capacity to self-regenerate after injury. However, the physiological regeneration process can be impaired when there is an extensive damage. One of the main reasons is due to the inability to establish a new vascular network that ensures oxygen and nutrient diffusion, leading to a necrotic core and non-junction of bone. Initially, bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged to use inert biomaterials to just fill bone defects, but it eventually evolved to mimic bone extracellular matrix and even stimulate bone physiological regeneration process. In this regard, the stimulation of osteogenesis has gained a lot of attention especially in the proper stimulation of angiogenesis, being critical to achieve a successful osteogenesis for bone regeneration. Besides, the immunomodulation of a pro-inflammatory environment towards an anti-inflammatory one upon scaffold implantation has been considered another key process for a proper tissue restoration. To stimulate these phases, growth factors and cytokines have been extensively used. Nonetheless, they present some drawbacks such as low stability and safety concerns. Alternatively, the use of inorganic ions has attracted higher attention due to their higher stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects. This review will first focus in giving fundamental aspects of initial bone regeneration phases, focusing mainly on inflammatory and angiogenic ones. Then, it will describe the role of different inorganic ions in modulating the immune response upon biomaterial implantation towards a restorative environment and their ability to stimulate angiogenic response for a proper scaffold vascularization and successful bone tissue restoration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The impairment of bone tissue regeneration when there is excessive damage has led to different tissue engineered strategies to promote bone healing. Significant importance has been given in the immunomodulation towards an anti-inflammatory environment together with proper angiogenesis stimulation in order to achieve successful bone regeneration rather than stimulating only the osteogenic differentiation. Ions have been considered potential candidates to stimulate these events due to their high stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects compared to growth factors. However, up to now, no review has been published assembling all this information together, describing individual effects of ions on immunomodulation and angiogenic stimulation, as well as their multifunctionality or synergistic effects when combined together.

Abstract
Derived Hench bioactive glass (BaG) containing boron (B) is explored in this work as it plays an important role in bone development and regeneration. B was also found to enhance BaG dissociation. However, it is only possible to incorporate a limited amount of B. To increase the amount of B in BaG, bioactive borosilicate glasses (BaG-Bx) were fabricated based on the use of the solution-gelation process (sol-gel). In this work, a high B content (20 wt.%) in BaG, respecting the conditions of bioactivity and biodegradability required by Hench, was achieved for the first time. The capability of BaG-Bx to form an apatite phase was assessed in vitro by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). Then, the chemical structure and the morphological changes in the fabricated BaG-Bx (x = 0, 5, 10 and 20) were studied. The formation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer was observed with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The presence of HAp layer was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Enhanced bioactivity and chemical stability of BaG-Bx were evaluated with an ion exchange study based on Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Results indicate that by increasing the concentration of B in BaG-Bx, the crystallization rate and the quality of the newly formed HAp layer on BaG-Bx surfaces can be improved. The presence of B also leads to enhanced degradation of BaGs in SBF. Accordingly, BAG-Bx can be used for bone regeneration, especially in children, because of its faster degradation as compared to B-free glass.

Abstract
Hybrid latex particles combine the unique properties of inorganic nano/micro particles with the inherent properties of polymers, exhibiting tremendous potential for a variety of applications. Recent years have witnessed an increased interest in the design and preparation of hybrid latex particles with well-defined size, structure and morphology. Due to its simplicity, versatility and environmental friendliness, the in situ (Pickering) emulsion polymerization has been demonstrated to be a powerful approach for the large-scale preparation of hybrid latex particles. In this review, the strategies and applications of in situ (Pickering) emulsion polymerization for the preparation of hybrid latex particles are systematically summarized. A particular focus is placed on the strategies for the preparation of hybrid latex particles with enhanced properties and well-defined core-shell, yolk-shell, multinuclear, raspberry-like, dumbbell-shaped, multipod-like or armored morphologies. We hope that the considerable advances, examples and principles presented in this review can motivate future contributions to provide a deeper understanding of current preparation technologies, develop new processes, and enable further exploitation of hybrid latex particles with outstanding characteristics and properties.
