Abstract
OssiMend® Bioactive (Collagen Matrix Inc., NJ) is a three-component porous composite bone graft device of 45S5 Bioglass/carbonate apatite/collagen. Our in vitro studies showed that conditioned media of the dissolution products of OssiMend Bioactive stimulated primary human osteoblasts to form mineralized bone-like nodules in vitro in one week, in basal culture media (no osteogenic supplements). Osteoblast differentiation was followed by gene expression analysis and a mineralization assay. In contrast, the dissolution products from commercial OssiMend (Bioglass-free carbonate apatite/collagen scaffolds), or from 45S5 Bioglass particulate alone, did not induce the mineralization of the extracellular matrix, but did induce osteoblast differentiation to mature osteoblasts, evidenced by the strong upregulation of BGLAP and IBSP mRNA levels. The calcium ions and soluble silicon species released from 45S5 Bioglass particles and additional phosphorus release from OssiMend mediated the osteostimulatory effects. Medium conditioned with OssiMend Bioactive dissolution had a much higher concentration of phosphorus and silicon than media conditioned with OssiMend and 45S5 Bioglass alone. While OssiMend and OssiMend Bioactive led to calcium precipitation in cell culture media, OssiMend Bioactive produced a higher concentration of soluble silicon than 45S5 Bioglass and higher dissolution of phosphorus than OssiMend. These in vitro results suggest that adding 45S5 Bioglass to OssiMend produces a synergistic osteostimulation effect on primary human osteoblasts. In summary, dissolution products of a Bioglass/carbonate apatite/collagen composite scaffold (OssiMend® Bioactive) stimulate human osteoblast differentiation and mineralization of extracellular matrix in vitro without any osteogenic supplements. The mineralization was faster than for dissolution products of ordinary Bioglass.

Abstract
To validate the feasibility of two types of bioactive glass that contains spherical and radical spherical nano-sized particles in promoting bone repair, we hypothesize that radical spherical nano-sized particles have higher bone repair effectiveness than spherical one due to the physicochemical properties. We rigorously compared the physicochemical properties and bioactivities of these two types of bioactive glass. Specifically, we measured the size, surface morphology, concentration of ionic-dissolution products, bioactivity, and biological effects of two groups of bioactive glass on rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and evaluate their effect on proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs in vitro. We observed that spherical nano-bioactive glass (SNBG) was spherical with smooth boundary, while the radial spherical nano-bioactive glass (RSNBG) had radial pore on the surface of particle boundary. When the two materials were immersed in simulated body fluid for 24 h, RSNBG produced more and denser hydroxyapatite carbonate than SNBG. The concentration of Ca and Si ions in RSNBG 24 h extract is higher than that of SNBG, while the concentration of P ions is lower. Proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, intracellular Ca ion concentrations defined as the number of mineralized nodules produced, and the expression of osteogenic genes were significantly higher in rBMSCs co-cultured with 50 µg/mL RSNBG than SNBG. Overall, these results validated our hypothesis that RSNBG can provide better benefit than SNBG for inducing proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in rBMSCs, in turn suggested the feasibility of this RSNBG in further studies and utilization toward the ends of improved bone repair effectiveness.

Abstract
The use of proper cells for bone tissue engineering remains a major challenge worldwide. Cells play a pivotal role in the repair and regeneration of the bone tissue in vitro and in vivo. Currently, a large number of differentiated (somatic) and undifferentiated (stem) cells have been used for bone reconstruction alone or in combination with different biomaterials and constructs (e.g., scaffolds). Although the results of the cell transplantation without any supporting or adjuvant material have been very effective with regard to bone healing. Recent advances in bone scaffolding are now becoming new players affecting the osteogenic potential of cells. In the present study, we have critically reviewed all the currently used cell sources for bone reconstruction and discussed the new horizons that are opening up in the context of cell-based bone tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BG) are known for their ability to bond to hard and soft tissues. We hypothesized that the stimulation of bone remodeling, including cellular bone forming and bone resorbing processes, can be increased by applying periodic microstructures on the glass surfaces in vitro. To test our hypothesis, two different BG (45S5 and 13-93) were microstructured in a groove-and-ridge pattern of different sizes by a novel casting process and tested in cell culture experiments using human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) and RAW 264.7 cells. The microstructures induced contact guidance of hMSCs and increased osteogenic marker gene expression of the stem cells, compared to non-structured glass surfaces as verified by ELISA and quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) analyses. Furthermore, the structures stimulated the differentiation of RAW cells to osteoclast-like cells confirmed by TRAP gene expression and their resorption activity causing visible resorption lacunae. Our results demonstrate that periodically microstructured BG (especially 45S5) might improve the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and influence the activity of material resorbing cells in vitro. Hence, microstructuring of BG could enhance the remodeling process of bone substitutes critical for the formation of new bone tissue in vivo and thus be used to trigger bone remodeling kinetics in vivo. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Biomaterial integration in bone depends on bone remodelling at the bone-implant interface. Optimal balance of bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone deposition by osteoblasts is crucial for successful implantation, especially in orthopaedic surgery. Most studies examined osteoblast differentiation on biomaterials, yet few research has been conducted to explore the effect of different orthopaedic implants on osteoclast development. This review covers, in detail, the biology of osteoclasts, in vitro models of osteoclasts, and modulation of osteoclast activity by different implant surfaces, bio-ceramics, and polymers. Studies show that surface topography influence osteoclastogenesis. For instance, metal implants with rough surfaces enhanced osteoclast activity, while smooth surfaces resulted in poor osteoclast differentiation. In addition, surface modification of implants with anti-osteoporotic drug further decreased osteoclast activity. In bioceramics, osteoclast development depended on different chemical compositions. Strontium-incorporated bioceramics decreased osteoclast development, whereas higher concentrations of silica enhanced osteoclast activity. Differences between natural and synthetic polymers also modulated osteoclastogenesis. Physiochemical properties of implants affect osteoclast activity. Hence, understanding osteoclast biology and its response to the natural microarchitecture of bone are indispensable to design suitable implant interfaces and scaffolds, which will stimulate osteoclasts in ways similar to that of native bone.

Abstract
Bone is a highly integrative and dynamic tissue of the human body. It is continually remodeled by bone cells such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts. When a fraction of a bone is damaged or deformed, stem cells and bone cells under the influence of several signaling pathways regulate bone regeneration at the particular locale. Effective therapies for bone defects can be met via bone tissue engineering which employs drug delivery systems with biomaterials to enhance cellular functions by acting on signaling pathways such as Wnt, BMP, TGF-β, and Notch. This review provides the current understanding of polymers/bioceramics/bioactive compounds as scaffolds in activation of signaling pathways for the formation of bone.

Abstract
PURPOSE To survey the preparation of novel hybrid microspheres of quaternary silicate glassy composition (SiO2 P2 O5 CaONa2 O) and the prospect of using them as an osteogenic system with enhanced bioactive properties for the development of hydroxyapatite. METHOD In line with our previous synthetic procedure a two-step process was followed, wherein polystyrene (PS) microspheres were prepared by the emulsifier free-emulsion polymerization method and constituted the core for the sol-gel coating of the silicate inorganic shell. The development of the hybrid microspheres was based on silane and phosphate precursors and was assesses at different ratio of ethanol/water (of 9/1, 4/1, and 2/1, in mL) and at varied ammonia concentration of 4.8-1.0 mL. RESULTS The hybrid microspheres had an average size ranged between 350 and 550 nm according to SEM, depending on the ethanol/water solution rate and ammonia content. The final microspheres probably exhibited a porous-like structure through the formation of diffused voids along with the low carbon content of the EDX analysis, which could be regulated by the catalyst content. The hybrid microspheres exhibited effective in vitro bioactivity assessed in simulated body fluids (SBF). CONCLUSION Quaternary hybrid silica microspheres were effectively synthesized. The bioassay evaluation of the final microspheres revealed the rapid in vitro formation of a bone-like apatite layer. The results verify the bioactivity of the microspheres and promote further research of their suitability on regenerative treatment of bone abnormalities. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses were discovered in 1969 and provided for the first time an alternative to nearly inert implant materials. Bioglass formed a rapid, strong, and stable bond with host tissues. This article examines the frontiers of research crossed to achieve clinical use of bioactive glasses and glass-ceramics. In the 1980s, it was discovered that bioactive glasses could be used in particulate form to stimulate osteogenesis, which thereby led to the concept of regeneration of tissues. Later, it was discovered that the dissolution ions from the glasses behaved like growth factors, providing signals to the cells. This article summarizes the frontiers of knowledge crossed during four eras of development of bioactive glasses that have led from concept of bioactivity to widespread clinical and commercial use, with emphasis on the first composition, 45S5 Bioglass(®). The four eras are (a) discovery, (b) clinical application, (c) tissue regeneration, and (d) innovation. Questions still to be answered for the fourth era are included to stimulate innovation in the field and exploration of new frontiers that can be the basis for a general theory of bioactive stimulation of regeneration of tissues and application to numerous clinical needs.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses are reported to be able to stimulate more bone regeneration than other bioactive ceramics but they lag behind other bioactive ceramics in terms of commercial success. Bioactive glass has not yet reached its potential but research activity is growing. This paper reviews the current state of the art, starting with current products and moving onto recent developments. Larry Hench's 45S5 Bioglass® was the first artificial material that was found to form a chemical bond with bone, launching the field of bioactive ceramics. In vivo studies have shown that bioactive glasses bond with bone more rapidly than other bioceramics, and in vitro studies indicate that their osteogenic properties are due to their dissolution products stimulating osteoprogenitor cells at the genetic level. However, calcium phosphates such as tricalcium phosphate and synthetic hydroxyapatite are more widely used in the clinic. Some of the reasons are commercial, but others are due to the scientific limitations of the original Bioglass 45S5. An example is that it is difficult to produce porous bioactive glass templates (scaffolds) for bone regeneration from Bioglass 45S5 because it crystallizes during sintering. Recently, this has been overcome by understanding how the glass composition can be tailored to prevent crystallization. The sintering problems can also be avoided by synthesizing sol-gel glass, where the silica network is assembled at room temperature. Process developments in foaming, solid freeform fabrication and nanofibre spinning have now allowed the production of porous bioactive glass scaffolds from both melt- and sol-gel-derived glasses. An ideal scaffold for bone regeneration would share load with bone. Bioceramics cannot do this when the bone defect is subjected to cyclic loads, as they are brittle. To overcome this, bioactive glass polymer hybrids are being synthesized that have the potential to be tough, with congruent degradation of the bioactive inorganic and the polymer components. Key to this is creating nanoscale interpenetrating networks, the organic and inorganic components of which have covalent coupling between them, which involves careful control of the chemistry of the sol-gel process. Bioactive nanoparticles can also now be synthesized and their fate tracked as they are internalized in cells. This paper reviews the main developments in the field of bioactive glass and its variants, covering the importance of control of hierarchical structure, synthesis, processing and cellular response in the quest for new regenerative synthetic bone grafts. The paper takes the reader from Hench's Bioglass 45S5 to new hybrid materials that have tailorable mechanical properties and degradation rates.

Abstract
Bioactive microspheres represent an extremely developing field in biomedical applications, such as bone tissue engineering and bone pathologies (metabolic bone disease, trauma or bone cancer). Their innate osteogenic properties have turned them to biomaterials with improved added value. The aim of this study was to prepare binary and ternary hybrid silica microspheres with enhanced bioactive properties according to our previous synthetic procedure. In brief, the synthetic approach based on the emulsifier free-emulsion polymerization method, by which polystyrene (PS) microspheres were produced and used as core template for the sol-gel coating method. During the coating reaction an inorganic shell was fabricated by silane and phosphate precursors (tetraethoxysilane, trimethylphosphate). The final microspheres were treated by different catalyst concentrations, during the coating process, which resulted in the formation of diffused voids (a porous-like structure). The in vitro bioactivity of the resultant microspheres was studied by treatment in simulated body fluids (SBF). The bioassay evaluation indicates the deposition of a bone-like apatite layer on microspheres' surface with enhanced bioresorbability, which verifies their bioactivity and permits their application in the treatment of bone pathologies.

Abstract
Macrophages are generated through the differentiation of monocytes in tissues and they have important functions in innate and adaptive immunity. In addition to their roles as phagocytes, macrophages can be further differentiated, in the presence of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), into osteoclasts (multinucleated giant cells that are responsible for bone resorption). In this work, we set out to characterize whether various inflammatory stimuli, known to induce macrophage polarization, can alter the type of multinucleated giant cell obtained from RANKL differentiation. Following a four-day differentiation protocol, along with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/interferon gamma (IFNγ) as one stimulus, and interleukin-4 (IL-4) as the other, three types of multinucleated cells were generated. Using various microscopy techniques (bright field, epifluorescence and scanning electron), functional assays, and western blotting for osteoclast markers, we found that, as expected, RANKL treatment alone resulted in osteoclasts, whereas the addition of LPS/IFNγ to RANKL pre-treated macrophages generated Langhans-type giant cells, while IL-4 led to giant cells resembling foreign body giant cells with osteoclast-like characteristics. Finally, to gain insight into the modulation of osteoclastogenesis, we characterized the formation and morphology of RANKL and LPS/IFNγ-induced multinucleated giant cells.

Abstract
The success of scaffold-based bone regeneration approaches strongly depends on the performance of the biomaterial utilized. Within the efforts of regenerative medicine towards a restitutio ad integrum (i.e. complete reconstruction of a diseased tissue), scaffolds should be completely degraded within an adequate period of time. The degradation of synthetic bone substitute materials involves both chemical dissolution (physicochemical degradation) and resorption (cellular degradation by osteoclasts). Responsible for bone resorption are osteoclasts, cells of haematopoietic origin. Osteoclasts play also a crucial role in bone remodelling, which is essential for the regeneration of bone defects. There is, however, surprisingly limited knowledge about the detailed effects of osteoclasts on biomaterials degradation behaviour. This review covers the relevant fundamental knowledge and progress made in the field of osteoclast activity related to biomaterials used for bone regeneration. In vitro studies with osteoclastic precursor cells on synthetic bone substitute materials show that there are specific parameters that inhibit or enhance resorption. Moreover, analyses of the bone-material interface reveal that biomaterials composition has a significant influence on their degradation in contact with osteoclasts. Crystallinity, grain size, surface bioactivity and density of the surface seem to have a less significant effect on osteoclastic activity. In addition, the topography of the scaffold surface can be tailored to affect the development and spreading of osteoclast cells. The present review also highlights possible areas on which future research is needed and which are relevant to enhance our understanding of the complex role of osteoclasts in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Spherical monodispersed bioactive particles are potential candidates for nanocomposite synthesis or as injectable particles that could be internalized by cells for the local sustained delivery of inorganic therapeutic ions (e.g., calcium or strontium). Particles are also likely to be released from porous bioactive glass and sol-gel hybrid scaffolds as they degrade; thus, it is vital to investigate their interaction with cells. Spherical monodispersed bioactive glass particles (mono-SMBG), with diameters of 215 ± 20 nm are synthesized using a modified Stöber process. Confocal and transmission electron microscopy demonstrate that mono-SMBGs are internalized by human bone marrow (MSCs) and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and located within cell vesicles and in the cytoplasm. Particle dissolution inside the cells is observed. Alamar Blue, MTT and Cyquant assays demonstrate that 50 μg mL(-1) of mono-SMBGs did not inhibit significantly MSC or ADSC metabolic activity. However, at higher concentrations (100 and 200 μg mL(-1)) small decrease in metabolic activity and total DNA is observed. Mono-SMBG did not induce ALPase activity, an early marker of osteogenic differentiation, without osteogenic supplements; however, in their presence osteogenic differentiation is achieved. Additionally, large numbers of particles are internalized by the cells but have little effect on cell behavior.

Abstract
Several studies have suggested that silicon (Si) may be essential for the normal development of connective tissue and the skeleton. Positive effects of Si from the diet as well as from Si-containing biomaterials, such as bioactive glass 45S5 (BG), have been demonstrated. Studies have reported that Si stimulates osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. However, the effects of Si on osteoclasts have not been directly addressed. The purpose of the present in vitro study was to clarify if Si has regulatory effects on osteoclast formation and bone resorption. The effects of BG, BG dissolution extracts and Si containing cell culture medium were investigated in a mouse calvarial bone resorption assay and osteoclast formation assays (mouse bone marrow cultures and RAW264.7 cell cultures). We conclude from our results that Si causes significant inhibition of osteoclast phenotypic gene expressions, osteoclast formation and bone resorption in vitro. In conclusion, the present study suggests that Si has a dual nature in bone metabolism with stimulatory effects on osteoblasts and inhibitory effects on osteoclasts. This suggested property of Si might be interesting to further explore in future biomaterials for treatments of bone defects in patients.

Abstract
Novel microcarriers made of sol-gel-derived bioactive glasses were developed for delivering therapeutic molecules effectively while cultivating stem cells for bone tissue engineering. Silica sols with varying concentration of Ca (0-30 mol.%) were formulated into microspheres ranging from 200 to 300 μm under optimized conditions. A highly mesoporous structure was created, with mesopore sizes of 2.5-6.3 nm and specific surface areas of 420-710 m(2)g(-1), which was highly dependent on the Ca concentration. Therapeutic molecules could be effectively loaded within the mesoporous microcarriers during microsphere formulation. Cytochrome C (cyt C), used as a model protein for the release study, was released in a highly sustainable manner, with an almost zero-order kinetics over a period of months; the amount released was ~2% at 9 days, and 15% at 40 days. A slight increase in the release rate was observed in the microcarrier containing Ca, which was related to the dissolution rate and pore size. The presence of Ca accelerated the formation of hydroxyapatite on the surface of the microcarriers. Cells cultured on the bioactive microcarriers were well adhered and distributed, and proliferated actively, confirming the three-dimensional substrate role of the microcarriers. An in vivo study performed in a rat subcutaneous model demonstrated the satisfactory biocompatibility of the prepared microspheres. As a therapeutic target molecule, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was incorporated into the microcarriers. A slow release pattern similar to that of cyt C was observed for bFGF. Cells adhered and proliferated to significantly higher levels on the bFGF-loaded microcarriers, demonstrating the effective role of bFGF in cell proliferative potential. It is believed that the developed mesoporous bioactive glass microspheres represent a new class of therapeutic cell delivery carrier, potentially useful in the sustainable delivery of therapeutic molecules such as growth factors, as well as in the support of stem cell proliferation and osteogenesis for bone tissue engineering.

Preconditioned 70S30C bioactive glass foams promote osteogenesis in vivo. Acta Biomater 2013; 9:9169-82.

Abstract
Bioactive glass scaffolds (70S30C; 70% SiO2 and 30% CaO) produced by a sol-gel foaming process are thought to be suitable matrices for bone tissue regeneration. Previous in vitro data showed bone matrix production and active remodelling in the presence of osteogenic cells. Here we report their ability to act as scaffolds for in vivo bone regeneration in a rat tibial defect model, but only when preconditioned. Pretreatment methods (dry, pre-wetted or preconditioned without blood) for the 70S30C scaffolds were compared against commercial synthetic bone grafts (NovaBone® and Actifuse®). Poor bone ingrowth was found for both dry and wetted sol-gel foams, associated with rapid increase in pH within the scaffolds. Bone ingrowth was quantified through histology and novel micro-CT image analysis. The percentage bone ingrowth into dry, wetted and preconditioned 70S30C scaffolds at 11 weeks were 10±1%, 21±2% and 39±4%, respectively. Only the preconditioned sample showed above 60% material-bone contact, which was similar to that in NovaBone and Actifuse. Unlike the commercial products, preconditioned 70S30C scaffolds degraded and were replaced with new bone. The results suggest that bioactive glass compositions should be redesigned if sol-gel scaffolds are to be used without preconditioning to avoid excess calcium release.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary science that combines a structural scaffold and cells to form a construct able to promote regeneration of injured tissue. Bioactive glass foam produced by sol-gel is an osteoinductive material with a network of interconnected macropores necessary for cell colonization. The use of human adipose-derived stem cell (hASC) presents advantages as the potential for a large number of cells, rapid expansion in vitro and the capability of differentiating into osteoblasts. The use of a bioreactor in three-dimensional cell culture enables greater efficiency for cell nutrition and application of mechanical forces, important modulators of bone physiology. The hASC seeded in a bioactive glass scaffold and cultured in osteogenic Leibovitz L-15 medium in a bioreactor with a flow rate of 0.1 mL min(-1) demonstrated a significant increase in cell proliferation and viability and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity peak after 14 days. The immunofluorescence assay revealed an expression of osteopontin, osteocalcin and type I collagen from 7 to 21 days after culture. The cells changed from a spindle shape to a cuboidal morphology characteristic of osteoblasts. The polymerase chain reaction assay confirmed that osteopontin, osteocalcin, and ALP genes were expressed. These results indicate that hASCs differentiated into an osteogenic phenotype when cultured in bioactive glass scaffold, osteogenic Leibovitz L-15 medium and a perfusion bioreactor. Therefore, these results highlight the synergism between a bioactive glass scaffold and the effect of perfusion on cells and indicate the differentiation into an osteogenic phenotype.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses are reported to be able to stimulate more bone regeneration than other bioactive ceramics but they lag behind other bioactive ceramics in terms of commercial success. Bioactive glass has not yet reached its potential but research activity is growing. This paper reviews the current state of the art, starting with current products and moving onto recent developments. Larry Hench's 45S5 Bioglass® was the first artificial material that was found to form a chemical bond with bone, launching the field of bioactive ceramics. In vivo studies have shown that bioactive glasses bond with bone more rapidly than other bioceramics, and in vitro studies indicate that their osteogenic properties are due to their dissolution products stimulating osteoprogenitor cells at the genetic level. However, calcium phosphates such as tricalcium phosphate and synthetic hydroxyapatite are more widely used in the clinic. Some of the reasons are commercial, but others are due to the scientific limitations of the original Bioglass 45S5. An example is that it is difficult to produce porous bioactive glass templates (scaffolds) for bone regeneration from Bioglass 45S5 because it crystallizes during sintering. Recently, this has been overcome by understanding how the glass composition can be tailored to prevent crystallization. The sintering problems can also be avoided by synthesizing sol-gel glass, where the silica network is assembled at room temperature. Process developments in foaming, solid freeform fabrication and nanofibre spinning have now allowed the production of porous bioactive glass scaffolds from both melt- and sol-gel-derived glasses. An ideal scaffold for bone regeneration would share load with bone. Bioceramics cannot do this when the bone defect is subjected to cyclic loads, as they are brittle. To overcome this, bioactive glass polymer hybrids are being synthesized that have the potential to be tough, with congruent degradation of the bioactive inorganic and the polymer components. Key to this is creating nanoscale interpenetrating networks, the organic and inorganic components of which have covalent coupling between them, which involves careful control of the chemistry of the sol-gel process. Bioactive nanoparticles can also now be synthesized and their fate tracked as they are internalized in cells. This paper reviews the main developments in the field of bioactive glass and its variants, covering the importance of control of hierarchical structure, synthesis, processing and cellular response in the quest for new regenerative synthetic bone grafts. The paper takes the reader from Hench's Bioglass 45S5 to new hybrid materials that have tailorable mechanical properties and degradation rates.

Calcium phosphate phases integrated in silica/collagen nanocomposite xerogels enhance the bioactivity and ultimately manipulate the osteoblast/osteoclast ratio in a human co-culture model. Acta Biomater 2013; 9:4878-88.

Abstract
A human co-culture model of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, derived from bone marrow stromal cells and monocytes respectively, was used to characterize the influence of biomaterial modification on the bioactivity and ultimately the ratio of bone-forming to bone-resorbing cells cultivated directly on the surface. Nanocomposites of silica and collagen have been shown to function as skeletal structures in nature and were reproduced in vitro by using a sol-gel approach. The resulting xerogels exhibit a number of features that make it a valuable system for the development of innovative materials for bone substitution applications. In the present study, the incorporation of different calcium phosphate phases in silica/collagen-based gels was demonstrated to enhance the bioactivity of these samples. This ability of the biomaterial to precipitate calcium phosphate on the surface when incubated in simulated body fluids or cell culture medium is generally considered to an advantageous property for bone substitution materials. By co-cultivating human osteoblasts and osteoclasts up to 42 days on the xerogels, we demonstrate that the long-term ratio of these cell types depends on the level of bioactivity of the substrate samples. Biphasic silica/collagen xerogels exhibited comparably low bioactivity but encouraged proliferation of osteoblasts in comparison to osteoclast formation. A balanced ratio of both cell types was detected for moderately bioactive triphasic xerogels with 5% calcium phosphate. However, enhancing the bioactivity of the xerogel samples by increasing the calcium phosphate phase percentage to 20% resulted in a diminished number of osteoblasts in favor of osteoclast formation. Quantitative evaluation was carried out by biochemical methods (calcium, DNA, ALP, TRAP 5b) as well as RT-PCR (ALP, BSP II, OC, RANKL, TRAP, CALCR, VTNR, CTSK), and was supported by confocal laser scanning microscopy (cell nuclei, actin, CD68, TRAP) as well as scanning electron microscopy.

Degradation, bioactivity, and osteogenic potential of composites made of PLGA and two different sol-gel bioactive glasses. Ann Biomed Eng 2011; 39:2114-29.

Abstract
We have developed poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based composites using sol–gel derived bioactive glasses (S-BG), previously described by our group, as composite components. Two different composite types were manufactured that contained either S2—high content silica S-BG, or A2—high content lime S-BG. The composites were evaluated in the form of sheets and 3D scaffolds. Sheets containing 12, 21, and 33 vol.% of each bioactive glass were characterized for mechanical properties, wettability, hydrolytic degradation, and surface bioactivity. Sheets containing A2 S-BG rapidly formed a hydroxyapatite surface layer after incubation in simulated body fluid. The incorporation of either S-BG increased the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the composites and tailored their degradation rates compared to starting compounds. Sheets and 3D scaffolds were evaluated for their ability to support growth of human bone marrow cells (BMC) and MG-63 cells, respectively. Cells were grown in non-differentiating, osteogenic or osteoclast-inducing conditions. Osteogenesis was induced with either recombinant human BMP-2 or dexamethasone, and osteoclast formation with M-CSF. BMC viability was lower at higher S-BG content, though specific ALP/cell was significantly higher on PLGA/A2-33 composites. Composites containing S2 S-BG enhanced calcification of extracellular matrix by BMC, whereas incorporation of A2 S-BG in the composites promoted osteoclast formation from BMC. MG-63 osteoblast-like cells seeded in porous scaffolds containing S2 maintained viability and secreted collagen and calcium throughout the scaffolds. Overall, the presented data show functional versatility of the composites studied and indicate their potential to design a wide variety of implant materials differing in physico-chemical properties and biological applications. We propose these sol–gel derived bioactive glass–PLGA composites may prove excellent potential orthopedic and dental biomaterials supporting bone formation and remodeling.

Abstract
Bioactive glass is used as both a bone filler and as a coating on implants, and has been advocated as a potential osteogenic scaffold for tissue engineering. Rat-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase activity when grown on 45S5 bioactive glass as compared to standard tissue culture plastic. Similarly, exposure to the dissolution products of 45S5 elevates alkaline phosphatase activity and other osteogenic markers in these cells. We investigated whether human MSCs grown under the same laboratory conditions as rat MSCs would exhibit similar responses. In general, human MSCs produce markedly less alkaline phosphatase activity than rat MSCs, regardless of cell culture conditions, and do not respond to the growth factor BMP-2 in the same way as rat MSCs. In our experiments there was no difference in alkaline phosphatase activity between human MSCs grown on 45S5 bioactive glass or tissue culture plastic, in samples from five different orthopaedic patients, regardless of culture media composition. Neither was there any consistent effect of 45S5 dissolution products on human MSCs from three different donors. These results suggest that the positive effects of bioactive glass on bone growth in human patients are not mediated by accelerated differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.
