Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a polymer made up of mainly deacetylated β-1,4 D-glucosamine units, which is part of a large group of D-glucosamine oligomers known as chitooligosaccharides, which can be obtained from chitin, most abundant natural polymer after cellulose and central component of the shrimp exoskeleton. It is known that it can be used for the development of materials, among which its use stands out in wastewater treatment (removal of metal ions, dyes, and as a membrane in purification processes), food industry (anti-cholesterol and fat, packaging material, preservative, and food additive), agriculture (seed and fertilizer coating, controlled release agrochemicals), pulp and paper industry (surface treatment, adhesive paper), cosmetics (body creams, lotions, etc.), in the engineering of tissues, wound healing, as excipients for drug administration, gels, membranes, nanofibers, beads, microparticles, nanoparticles, scaffolds, sponges, and diverse biological ones, specifically antibacterial and antifungal activities. This article reviews the main contributions published in the last ten years regarding the use and application of CS in medical chemistry. The applications exposed here involve regenerative medicine in the design of bioprocesses and tissue engineering, Pharmaceutical sciences to obtain biomaterials, polymers, biomedicine, and the use of nanomaterials and nanotechnology, toxicology, and Clinical Pharmaceuticals, emphasizing the perspectives and the direction that can take research in this area.

Abstract
Despite the considerable advancements in fabricating polymeric-based scaffolds for tissue engineering, the clinical transformation of these scaffolds remained a big challenge because of the difficulty of simulating native organs/tissues' microenvironment. As a kind of natural tissue-derived biomaterials, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based scaffolds have gained attention due to their unique biomimetic properties, providing a specific microenvironment suitable for promoting cell proliferation, migration, attachment and regulating differentiation. The medical applications of dECM-based scaffolds have addressed critical challenges, including poor mechanical strength and insufficient stability. For promoting the reconstruction of damaged tissues or organs, different types of dECM-based composite platforms have been designed to mimic tissue microenvironment, including by integrating with natural polymer or/and syntenic polymer or adding bioactive factors. In this review, we summarized the research progress of dECM-based composite scaffolds in regenerative medicine, highlighting the critical challenges and future perspectives related to the medical application of these composite materials.

Abstract
The treatment of infected bone defects includes infection control and repair of the bone defect. The development of biomaterials with anti-infection and osteogenic ability provides a promising strategy for the repair of infected bone defects. Owing to its antibacterial properties, chitosan (an emerging natural polymer) has been widely studied in bone tissue engineering. Moreover, it has been shown that chitosan promotes the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblast-related cells, and can serve as an ideal carrier for bone-promoting substances. In this review, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying the antibacterial effects of chitosan and its ability to promote bone repair are discussed. Furthermore, the properties of several kinds of functionalized chitosan are analyzed and compared with those of pure chitosan. The latest research on the combination of chitosan with different types of functionalized materials and biomolecules for the treatment of infected bone defects is also summarized. Finally, the current shortcomings of chitosan-based biomaterials for the treatment of infected bone defects and future research directions are discussed. This review provides a theoretical basis and advanced design strategies for the use of chitosan-based biomaterials in the treatment of infected bone defects.

Abstract
The scaffold chemical composition and pore architecture are critical for successful bone regeneration. Although the effects of chemical composition, micron-scale pores, and macropores (≥100 μm) are known, those of nanometer-scale pores (nanopores) are unknown. Here, honeycomb scaffolds (HCSs) composed of carbonate apatite and bone mineral, were fabricated with three distinct nanopore volumes, while other parameters were comparable between HCSs. Their compressive strengths and nanopore volumes linearly correlated. The HCSs were implanted into critical-sized bone defects (CSDs) in the rabbit femur distal epiphyses. The nanopore volume affected both osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis. HCSs with nanopore volumes of ≥0.15 cm3 g-1 promoted osteoclastogenesis, contributing to bone maturation and bone formation within 4 weeks. However, HCSs with nanopore volumes of 0.07 cm3 g-1 promoted significantly less bone maturation and neoformation. Nevertheless, HCSs with nanopore volumes of ≥0.18 cm3 g-1 did not undergo continuous bone regeneration throughout the 12 week period due to excessive osteoclastogenesis, which favored HCS resorption over bone neoformation. When the nanopore volume was 0.15 cm3 g-1, osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis progressed harmonically, resulting in HCS replacement with new bone. Our results demonstrate that the nanopore volume is critical for controlling osteoclastogenesis and osteogenesis. These insights may help establish a coherent strategy for developing scaffolds for different applications.

Abstract
Treatment of cortical bone defects is a clinical challenge. Guided bone regeneration (GBR), commonly used in oral and maxillofacial dental surgery, may show promise for orthopedic applications in repair of cortical bone defects. However, a limitation in the use of GBR for cortical bone defects is the lack of an ideal scaffold that provides sufficient mechanical support to bridge the cortical bone with minimal interference in the repair process. We have developed a new collagen membrane, CelGro™, for use in GBR. We report the material characterization of CelGro and evaluate the performance of CelGro in translational preclinical and clinical studies. The results show CelGro has a bilayer structure of different fiber alignment and is composed almost exclusively of type I collagen. CelGro was found to be completely acellular and free from xenoantigen, α-gal (galactose-alpha-1,3-galactose). In the preclinical study of a rabbit cortical bone defect model, CelGro demonstrated enhanced bone-remodeling activity and cortical bone healing. Microcomputed tomography evaluation showed early bony bridging over the defect area 30 days postoperatively, and nearly complete restoration of mature cortical bone at the bone defect site 60 days postoperatively. Histological analysis 60 days after surgery further confirmed that CelGro enables bridging of the cortical bone defect by induction of newly formed cortical bone. Compared to a commercially available collagen membrane, Bio-Gide®, CelGro showed much better cortical alignment and reduced porosity at the defect interface. As selection of orthopedic patients with cortical bone defects is complex, we conducted a clinical study evaluating the performance of CelGro in guided bone regeneration around dental implants. CelGro was used in GBR procedures in a total of 16 implants placed in 10 participants. Cone-beam computed tomography images show significantly increased bone formation both horizontally and vertically, which provides sufficient support to stabilize implants within 4 months. Together, the findings of our study demonstrate that CelGro is an ideal membrane for GBR not only in oral and maxillofacial reconstructive surgery but also in orthopedic applications (Clinical Trial ID ACTRN12615000027516).

Decellularized Adipose Tissue Hydrogel Promotes Bone Regeneration in Critical-Sized Mouse Femoral Defect Model. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2019; 7:211.

Abstract
Critical-sized bone defects fail to heal and often cause non-union. Standard treatments employ autologous bone grafting, which can cause donor tissue loss/pain. Although several scaffold types can enhance bone regeneration, multiple factors limit their level of success. To address this issue, this study evaluated a novel decellularized human adipose tissue (DAT) hydrogel as an alternative. In this study, DAT hydrogel alone, or in combination with adipose-derived stromal/stem cells (ASC), osteo-induced ASCs (OIASC), and hydroxyapatite were tested for their ability to mediate repair of a critical-sized (3 mm) femoral defect created in C57BL/6 mice. Micro-computed tomography results showed that all DAT hydrogel treated groups significantly enhanced bone regeneration, with OIASC + hydroxyapatite treated group displaying the most robust bone regeneration. Histological analyses revealed that all treatments resulted in significantly higher tissue areas with the relative mineralized tissue area significantly increased at 12 weeks; however, cartilaginous content was lowest among treatment groups with OIASC. Immunohistochemical analyses showed that DAT hydrogel enhanced collagen I and osteopontin expression, while the addition of OIASCs to the hydrogel reduced collagen II levels. Thus, DAT hydrogel promotes bone regeneration in a critical-sized femoral defect model that is further enhanced in the presence of OIASCs and hydroxyapatite.
