Abstract
Bone is a dynamic tissue that can always regenerate itself through remodeling to maintain biofunctionality. This tissue performs several vital physiological functions. However, bone scaffolds are required for critical-size damages and fractures, and these can be addressed by bone tissue engineering. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has the potential to develop scaffolds for repairing critical-size damaged bone. BTE is a multidisciplinary engineered scaffold with the desired properties for repairing damaged bone tissue. Herein, we have provided an overview of the common carbohydrate polymers, fundamental structural, physicochemical, and biological properties, and fabrication techniques for bone tissue engineering. We also discussed advanced biofabrication strategies and provided the limitations and prospects by highlighting significant issues in bone tissue engineering. There are several review articles available on bone tissue engineering. However, we have provided a state-of-the-art review article that discussed recent progress and trends within the last 3-5 years by emphasizing challenges and future perspectives.

Bioact Mater 2024; 38:346-373. [PMID: 38764449 PMCID: PMC11101688 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.04.032] [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: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels is a widely used bioink because of its good biological properties and tunable physicochemical properties, which has been widely used in a variety of tissue engineering and tissue regeneration. However, pure GelMA is limited by the weak mechanical strength and the lack of continuous osteogenic induction environment, which is difficult to meet the needs of bone repair. Moreover, GelMA hydrogels are unable to respond to complex stimuli and therefore are unable to adapt to physiological and pathological microenvironments. This review focused on the functionalization strategies of GelMA hydrogel based bioinks for bone regeneration. The synthesis process of GelMA hydrogel was described in details, and various functional methods to meet the requirements of bone regeneration, including mechanical strength, porosity, vascularization, osteogenic differentiation, and immunoregulation for patient specific repair, etc. In addition, the response strategies of smart GelMA-based bioinks to external physical stimulation and internal pathological microenvironment stimulation, as well as the functionalization strategies of GelMA hydrogel to achieve both disease treatment and bone regeneration in the presence of various common diseases (such as inflammation, infection, tumor) are also briefly reviewed. Finally, we emphasized the current challenges and possible exploration directions of GelMA-based bioinks for bone regeneration.

In situ co-deposition synthesis for collagen-Astragalus polysaccharide composite with intrafibrillar mineralization as potential biomimetic-bone repair materials. Regen Biomater 2024; 11:rbae070. [PMID: 39022124 PMCID: PMC11254354 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbae070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 06/02/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
A hybrid material possessing both componential and structural imitation of bone tissue is the preferable composites for bone defect repair. Inspired by the microarchitecture of native bone, this work synthesized in vitro a functional mineralized collagen fibril (MCF) material by utilizing the method of in situ co-precipitation, which was designed to proceed in the presence of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS), thus achieving APS load within the biomineralized collagen-Astragalus polysaccharide (MCAPS) fibrils. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) identified the details of the intrafibrillar mineralization of the MCAPS fibrils, almost mimicking the secondary level of bone tissue microstructure. A relatively uniform and continuous mineral layer formed on and within all collagen fibrils and the mineral phase was identified as typical weak-crystalline hydroxyapatite (HA) with a Ca/P ratio of about 1.53. The proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) and mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) obtained a significant promotion by MCAPS. As for the osteogenic properties of MCAPS, a distinct increase in the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the number of calcium nodules (CN) in BMSC and MC3T3-E1 was detected. The up-regulation of three osteogenic-related genes of RUNX-2, BMP-2 and OCN were confirmed via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to further verify the osteogenic performance promotion of MCAPS. A period of 14 days of culture demonstrated that MCAPS-L exhibited a preferable efficacy in enhancing ALP activity and CN quantity, as well as in promoting the expression of osteogenic-related genes over MCAPS-M and MCAPS-H, indicating that a lower dose of APS within the material of MCAPS is more appropriate for its osteogenesis promotion properties.

Abstract
Bioprinting technology promotes innovation of fabricating tissue engineered constructs. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) have significant advantages over classical bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and are a promising seed cell candidate for bone engineering bioprinting. However, current reports about bioprinted DPSCs for bone regeneration are incomprehensive. The objective of this study was to investigate the osteogenic potential of DPSCs in methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) hydrogels bioprinted scaffolds in vitro and in vivo. Firstly, we successfully bioprinted GelMA with different concentrations embedded with or without DPSCs. Printability, physical features and biological properties of the bioprinted constructs were evaluated. Then, osteogenic differentiation levels of DPSCs in bioprinted constructs with various concentrated GelMA were compared. Finally, effects of bioprinted constructs on cranial bone regeneration were evaluated in vivo. The results of our study demonstrated that 10% GelMA had higher compression modulus, smaller pores, lower swelling and degradation rate than 3% GelMA. Twenty-eight days after printing, DPSCs in three groups of bioprinted structures still maintained high cell activities (>90%). Moreover, DPSCs in 10% GelMA showed an upregulated expression of osteogenic markers and a highly activated ephrinB2/EphB4 signaling, a signaling involved in bone homeostasis. In vivo experiments showed that DPSCs survived at a higher rate in 10% GelMA, and more new bones were observed in DPSC-laden 10% GelMA group, compared with GelMA of other concentrations. In conclusion, bioprinted DPSC-laden 10% GelMA might be more appropriate for bone regeneration application, in contrast to GelMA with other concentrations.

Abstract
Bone defects are a common complication of bone diseases, which often affect the quality of life and mental health of patients. The use of biomimetic bone scaffolds loaded with bioactive substances has become a focal point in the research on bone defect repair. In this study, composite scaffolds resembling bone tissue were created using nacre powder (NP) and sodium alginate (SA) through 3D printing. These scaffolds exhibit several physiological structural and mechanical characteristics of bone tissue, such as suitable porosity, an appropriate pore size, applicable degradation performance and satisfying the mechanical requirements of cancellous bone, etc. Then, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), containing a mass of growth factors, was loaded on the NP/SA scaffolds. This was aimed to fully maximize the synergistic effect with NP, thereby accelerating bone tissue regeneration. Overall, this study marks the first instance of preparing a bionic bone structure scaffold containing NP by 3D printing technology, which is combined with PRF to further accelerate bone regeneration. These findings offer a new treatment strategy for bone tissue regeneration in clinical applications.

Abstract
Articular osteochondral (OC) defects are a global clinical problem characterized by loss of full-thickness articular cartilage with underlying calcified cartilage through to the subchondral bone. While current surgical treatments can relieve pain, none of them can completely repair all components of the OC unit and restore its original function. With the rapid development of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology, admirable progress has been made in bone and cartilage reconstruction, providing new strategies for restoring joint function. 3D printing has the advantages of fast speed, high precision, and personalized customization to meet the requirements of irregular geometry, differentiated composition, and multi-layered boundary layer structures of joint OC scaffolds. This review captures the original published researches on the application of 3D printing technology to the repair of entire OC units and provides a comprehensive summary of the recent advances in 3D printed OC scaffolds. We first introduce the gradient structure and biological properties of articular OC tissue. The considerations for the development of 3D printed OC scaffolds are emphatically summarized, including material types, fabrication techniques, structural design and seed cells. Especially from the perspective of material composition and structural design, the classification, characteristics and latest research progress of discrete gradient scaffolds (biphasic, triphasic and multiphasic scaffolds) and continuous gradient scaffolds (gradient material and/or structure, and gradient interface) are summarized. Finally, we also describe the important progress and application prospect of 3D printing technology in OC interface regeneration. 3D printing technology for OC reconstruction should simulate the gradient structure of subchondral bone and cartilage. Therefore, we must not only strengthen the basic research on OC structure, but also continue to explore the role of 3D printing technology in OC tissue engineering. This will enable better structural and functional bionics of OC scaffolds, ultimately improving the repair of OC defects.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering had crucial role in the bone defects regeneration, particularly when allograft and autograft procedures have limitations. In this regard, different types of scaffolds are used in tissue regeneration as fundamental tools. In recent years, magnetic scaffolds show promising applications in different biomedical applications (in vitro and in vivo). As superparamagnetic materials are widely considered to be among the most attractive biomaterials in tissue engineering, due to long-range stability and superior bioactivity, therefore, magnetic implants shows angiogenesis, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction features when they are combined with biomaterials. Furthermore, these scaffolds can be coupled with a magnetic field to enhance their regenerative potential. In addition, magnetic scaffolds can be composed of various combinations of magnetic biomaterials and polymers using different methods to improve the magnetic, biocompatibility, thermal, and mechanical properties of the scaffolds. This review article aims to explain the use of magnetic biomaterials such as iron (II,III) oxide (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) in detail. So it will cover the research background of magnetic scaffolds, the novelty of using these magnetic implants in tissue engineering, and provides a future perspective on regenerative implants.

Abstract
The formation of hybrid hydrogel-elastomer scaffolds is an attractive strategy for the formation of tissue engineering constructs and microfabricated platforms for advanced in vitro models. The emergence of thiol-ene coupling, in particular radical-based, for the engineering of cell-instructive hydrogels and the design of elastomers raises the possibility of mechanically integrating these structures without relying on the introduction of additional chemical moieties. However, the bonding of hydrogels (thiol-ene radical or more classic acrylate/methacrylate radical-based) to thiol-ene elastomers and alkene-functional elastomers has not been characterized in detail. In this study, we quantify the tensile mechanical properties of hybrid hydrogel samples formed of two elastomers bonded to a hydrogel material. We examine the impact of radical thiol-ene coupling on the crosslinking of both elastomers (silicone or polyesters) and hydrogels (based on thiol-ene crosslinking or diacrylate chemistry) and on the mechanics and failure behavior of the resulting hybrids. This study demonstrates the strong bonding of thiol-ene hydrogels to alkene-presenting elastomers with a range of chemistries, including silicones and polyesters. Overall, thiol-ene coupling appears as an attractive tool for the generation of strong, mechanically integrated, hybrid structures for a broad range of applications.

Abstract
Suture anchors are extensively used in rotator cuff tear surgery. With the advancement of three-dimensional printing technology, biodegradable metal has been developed for orthopedic applications. This study adopted three-dimensional-printed biodegradable Fe suture anchors with double-helical threads and commercialized non-vented screw-type Ti suture anchors with a tapered tip in the experimental and control groups, respectively. The in vitro study showed that the Fe and Ti suture anchors exhibited a similar ultimate failure load in 20-pound-per-cubic-foot polyurethane foam blocks and rabbit bone. In static immersion tests, the corrosion rate of Fe suture anchors was 0.049 ± 0.002 mm/year. The in vivo study was performed on New Zealand white rabbits and SAs were employed to reattach the ruptured supraspinatus tendon. The in vivo ultimate failure load of the Fe suture anchors was superior to that of the Ti suture anchors at 6 weeks. Micro-computed tomography showed that the bone volume fraction and bone surface density in the Fe suture anchors group 2 and 6 weeks after surgery were superior, and the histology confirmed that the increased bone volume around the anchor was attributable to mineralized osteocytes. The three-dimensional-printed Fe suture anchors outperformed the currently used Ti suture anchors.
