Abstract
Suitable biomaterials with seed cells have promising potential to repair bone defects. However, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), one of the most common seed cells used in tissue engineering, cannot differentiate efficiently and accurately into functional osteoblasts. In view of this, a new tissue engineering technique combined with BMSCs and scaffolds is a major task for bone defect repair. Lentiviruses interfering with miR-136-5p or Smurf1 expression were transfected into BMSCs. The effects of miR-136-5p or Smurf1 on the osteogenic differentiation (OD) of BMSCs were evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition. Then, the targeting relationship between miR-136-5p and Smurf1 was verified by bioinformatics website analysis and dual luciferase reporter assay. Then, a rabbit femoral condyle bone defect model was established. miR-136-5p/BMSCs/β-TCP scaffold was implanted into the defect, and the repair of the bone defect was detected by Micro-CT and HE staining. Elevating miR-136-5p-3p or suppressing Smurf1 could stimulate OD of BMSCs. miR-136-5p negatively regulated Smurf1 expression. Overexpressing Smurf1 reduced the promoting effect of miR-136-5p on the OD of BMSCs. miR-136-5p/BMSCs/β-TCP could strengthen bone density in the defected area and accelerate bone repair. SmurF1-targeting miR-136-5p-modified BMSCs combined with 3D-printed β-TCP scaffolds can strengthen osteogenic activity and alleviate bone defects.

Int Dent J 2024:S0020-6539(24)00067-4. [PMID: 38614878 DOI: 10.1016/j.identj.2024.02.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was to optimise printable polycaprolactone (PCL)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) biomaterials with high percentages of β-TCP endowed with balanced mechanical characteristics to resemble human cancellous bone, presumably improving osteogenesis. METHODS PCL/β-TCP scaffolds were obtained from customised filaments for fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing with increasing amounts of β-TCP. Samples mechanical features, surface topography and wettability were evaluated as well as cytocompatibility assays, cell adhesion and differentiation. RESULTS The parameters of the newly fabricated materila were optimal for PCL/β-TCP scaffold fabrication. Composite surfaces showed higher hydrophilicity compared with the controls, and their surface roughness sharply was higher, possibly due to the presence of β-TCP. The Young's modulus of the composites was significantly higher than that of pristine PCL, indicating that the intrinsic strength of β-TCP is beneficial for enhancing the elastic modulus of the composite biomaterials. All novel composite biomaterials supported greater cellular growth and stronger osteoblastic differentiation compared with the PCL control. CONCLUSIONS This project highlights the possibility to fabricat, through an FDM solvent-free approach, PCL/β-TCP scaffolds of up to 70 % concentrations of β-TCP. overcoming the current lmit of 60 % stated in the literature. The combination of 3D printing and customised biomaterials allowed production of highly personalised scaffolds with optimal mechanical and biological features resembling the natural structure and the composition of bone. This underlines the promise of such structures for innovative approaches for bone and periodontal regeneration.

Abstract
Bone defects stemming from tumorous growths, traumatic events, and diverse conditions present a profound conundrum in clinical practice and research. While bone has the inherent ability to regenerate, substantial bone anomalies require bone regeneration techniques. Bone organoids represent a new concept in this field, involving the 3D self-assembly of bone-associated stem cells guided in vitro with or without extracellular matrix material, resulting in a tissue that mimics the structural, functional, and genetic properties of native bone tissue. Within the scientific panorama, bone organoids ascend to an esteemed status, securing significant experimental endorsement. Through a synthesis of current literature and pioneering studies, this review offers a comprehensive survey of the bone organoid paradigm, delves into the quintessential architecture and ontogeny of bone, and highlights the latest progress in bone organoid fabrication. Further, existing challenges and prospective directions for future research are identified, advocating for interdisciplinary collaboration to fully harness the potential of this burgeoning domain. Conclusively, as bone organoid technology continues to mature, its implications for both clinical and research landscapes are poised to be profound.

Abstract
The most challenging problem in oral and maxillofacial surgery is the reconstruction of defects for the oral and maxillofacial complex. Transfer of different autografts is known as the "gold standard" for the reconstruction of bone defects in the oral and maxillofacial region. Graft harvesting, however, can lead to many complications, such as donor-site morbidity, surgical time-consuming, etc. Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is an innovative technique that allows the fabrication of personalized plates and scaffolds to fit the precise anatomy of an individual's defect. In this study, a selective laser melting 3D-printed Ti-6Al-4 V plate with a honeycomb was designed, and its physical and biological features were characterized. The personalized 3D-printed scaffold and commercialized titanium reconstruction plate were applied to reconstruct a 4 cm mandibular defect in a beagle dog. Effects of the treatment were analyzed radiologically and histologically. Our results showed that the application of a 3D-printed plate with a honeycomb achieved good biocompatibility and osseointegration and has potential clinical application.

Abstract
Bone fractures have always been a burden to patients due to their common occurrence and severe complications. Traditionally, operative treatments have been widely used in the clinic for implanting, despite the fact that they can only achieve bone fixation with limited stability and pose no effect on promoting tissue growth. In addition, the nondegradable implants usually need a secondary surgery for implant removal, otherwise they may block the regeneration of bones resulting in bone nonunion. To overcome the low degradability of implants and avoid multiple surgeries, tissue engineers have investigated various biodegradable materials for bone regeneration, whereas the significance of stability of long-term bone fixation tends to be neglected during this process. Combining the traditional orthopedic implantation surgeries and emerging tissue engineering, we believe that both bone fixation and bone regeneration are indispensable factors for a successful bone repair. Herein, we define such a novel idea as bone regenerative fixation (BRF), which should be the main future development trend of biodegradable materials.

Abstract
Bone, like most organs, has the ability to heal naturally and can be repaired slowly when it is slightly injured. However, in the case of bone defects caused by diseases or large shocks, surgical intervention and treatment of bone substitutes are needed, and drugs are actively matched to promote osteogenesis or prevent infection. Oral administration or injection for systemic therapy is a common way of administration in clinic, although it is not suitable for the long treatment cycle of bone tissue, and the drugs cannot exert the greatest effect or even produce toxic and side effects. In order to solve this problem, the structure or carrier simulating natural bone tissue is constructed to control the loading or release of the preparation with osteogenic potential, thus accelerating the repair of bone defect. Bioactive materials provide potential advantages for bone tissue regeneration, such as physical support, cell coverage and growth factors. In this review, we discuss the application of bone scaffolds with different structural characteristics made of polymers, ceramics and other composite materials in bone regeneration engineering and drug release, and look forward to its prospect.

Abstract
Treating bone defects is highly challenging because they do not heal on their own inside the patients, so implants are needed to assist in the reconstruction of the bone. Bioceramic implants based on additive manufacturing (AM) are currently emerging as promising treatment options for restoration bone engineering. On the one hand, additively manufactured bioceramic implants have excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, which are suitable for bone regeneration. On the other hand, the designable structure and adjustable pores of additively manufactured bioceramic implants allow them to promote suitable cell growth and tissue climbing. Herein, this review unfolds to introduce several frequently employed AM technologies for bioceramic implants. After that, advances in commonly used additively manufactured bioceramic implants, including bioinert ceramic implants, bioactive ceramic implants, and bioceramic/organic composite implants, are categorized and summarized. Finally, the future perspectives of additively manufactured bioceramic implants, in terms of mechanical performance improvement, innovative structural design, biological property enhancement, and other functionalization approaches, are proposed and forecasted. This review is believed to provide some fundamental understanding and cutting-edge knowledge for the additive manufacturing of bioceramic implants for restoration bone engineering.

Abstract
Low back pain is common after lumbar spine surgery and the injury from extensive detachment of paraspinal muscles during the surgery may play a vital role. Previously, we prepared a bovine acellular tendon fiber (ATF) material through lyophilization and proved that it could retain its original fibrillar structure and mechanical properties. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this new fiber material used for attachment structure reconstruction of paraspinal muscle. Defect of spinous process, interspinous and supraspinous ligament was established on lumbar spine in rabbit and rat and ATF linear material was implanted to reconstruct the attachment structure. Ultrasound showed the cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscle in ATF group was larger than that of control group in rats. MRI showed the irregular shape and high signal changes in control group, but regular shape and uniform signal in the ATF group in rabbit. For Electromyogram, the frequency of evoked potential in control group was lower than ATF group and normal rats. HE and Masson staining showed good tissue healing, and immunohistochemical results showed the immune rejection of ATF is significantly lower than that of suture. Reconstruction of the attachment structure of paraspinous muscles with ATF linear material could maintain the morphology, volume and function of paraspinal muscle. ATF material has the potential to be used to manufacture personalized ligaments and other tissue engineering scaffolds. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects is an important problem in clinical practice. The rapid development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) may provide a new method for bone defect treatment. Metal ions have been widely studied in BTE and demonstrated a significant effect in promoting bone tissue growth. Different metal ions can be used to treat bone defects according to specific conditions, including promoting osteogenic activity, inhibiting osteoclast activity, promoting vascular growth, and exerting certain antibacterial effects. Multiple studies have confirmed that metal ions-modified composite scaffolds can effectively promote bone defect healing. By studying current extensive research on metal ions in the treatment of bone defects, this paper reviews the mechanism of metal ions in promoting bone tissue growth, analyzes the loading mode of metal ions, and lists some specific applications of metal ions in different types of bone defects. Finally, this paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of metal ions and analyzes the future research trend of metal ions in BTE. This article can provide some new strategies and methods for future research and applications of metal ions in the treatment of bone defects.

There is a growing demand for bone graft substitutes that mimic the extracellular matrix properties of the native bone tissue to enhance stem cell osteogenesis. Composite hydrogels containing human bone allograft particles are particularly interesting due to inherent bioactivity of the allograft tissue. Here, we report a novel photocurable composite hydrogel bioink for bone tissue engineering. Our composite bioink is formulated by incorporating human allograft bone particles in a methacrylated alginate formulation to enhance adult human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) osteogenesis. Detailed rheology and printability studies confirm suitability of our composite bioinks for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting technology. In vitro studies reveal high cell viability (~90%) for hMSCs up to 28 days of culture within 3D bioprinted composite scaffolds. When cultured within bioprinted composite scaffolds, hMSCs show significantly enhanced osteogenic differentiation as compared to neat scaffolds based on alkaline phosphatase activity, calcium deposition, and osteocalcin expression.

Abstract
Poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA)-based biocomposites have been used in tissue engineering applications because of their reasonable biocompatibility and mechanical properties. However, the imperfect bioactive and mechanical properties of the composite make it difficult to be used in the region of bone defects that require high load-bearing. Therefore, this study introduced two fabricating strategies to induce mechanically and biologically enhanced hydroxyapatite (HA)/PLLA biocomposites. By introducing an in situ plasma treatment, which was simultaneously applied during the 3D-printing process, followed by the thermal annealing process, the flexural modulus of the composite was increased by 2.1-fold compared to the normal HA/PLLA composite. Furthermore, using the combinational process, efficient coating of bioactive material [decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) derived from porcine bones] was possible. The fabricated biocomposite scaffold was assessed for various in vitro cellular activities such as cell proliferation and osteogenic activity. Based on the mechanical and biological studies, the HA/PLLA/dECM biocomposite scaffold is one of the promising scaffolds that can be applied in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Biomaterials at nanoscale is a fast-expanding research field with which extensive studies have been conducted on understanding the interactions between cells and their surrounding microenvironments as well as intracellular communications. Among many kinds of nanoscale biomaterials, mesoporous fibrous structures are especially attractive as a promising approach to mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) for cell and tissue research. Silica is a well-studied biocompatible, natural inorganic material that can be synthesized as morpho-genetically active scaffolds by various methods. This review compares silica nanofibers (SNFs) to other ECM materials such as hydrogel, polymers, and decellularized natural ECM, summarizes fabrication techniques for SNFs, and discusses different strategies of constructing ECM using SNFs. In addition, the latest progress on SNFs synthesis and biomimetic ECM substrates fabrication is summarized and highlighted. Lastly, we look at the wide use of SNF-based ECM scaffolds in biological applications, including stem cell regulation, tissue engineering, drug release, and environmental applications.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers have been an integral part of modern society since the early 1960s. Besides their most well-known applications to the public, such as packaging, construction, textiles and electronics, synthetic polymers have also revolutionized the field of medicine. Starting with the first plastic syringe developed in 1955 to the complex polymeric materials used in the regeneration of tissues, their contributions have never been more prominent. Decades of research on polymeric materials, stem cells, and three-dimensional printing contributed to the rapid progress of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine that envisages the potential future of organ transplantations. This perspective discusses the role of synthetic polymers in tissue engineering, their design and properties in relation to each type of application. Additionally, selected recent achievements of tissue engineering using synthetic polymers are outlined to provide insight into how they will contribute to the advancement of the field in the near future. In this way, we aim to provide a guide that will help scientists with synthetic polymer design and selection for different tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The microvascular endothelial network plays an important role in osteogenesis, bone regeneration and bone tissue engineering. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) display a high angiogenic and vasculogenic potential. The endothelialization of scaffolds with endothelial progenitor cells supports vascularization and tissue formation. In addition, EPCs enhance the osteogenic differentiation and bone formation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This study aimed to investigate the impact of EPCs on vascularization and bone formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (ß-TCP)–fibrin scaffold. Three groups were designed: a scaffold-only group (A), a scaffold and EPC group (B), and a scaffold and EPC/MSC group (C). The HA/ß–TCP–fibrin scaffolds were placed in a porous titanium chamber permitting extrinsic vascularization from the surrounding tissue. Additionally, intrinsic vascularization was achieved by means of an arteriovenous loop (AV loop). After 12 weeks, the specimens were explanted and investigated by histology and CT. We were able to prove a strong scaffold vascularization in all groups. No differences regarding the vessel number and density were detected between the groups. Moreover, we were able to prove bone formation in the coimplantation group. Taken together, the AV loop is a powerful tool for vascularization which is independent from scaffold cellularization with endothelial progenitor cells’ prior implantation.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of concentrated growth factors (CGF) combined with deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) on Alveolar ridge preservation during implantology.
Methods A total of 38 patients were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups, with 19 cases in each group. The extraction sockets were filled with DBBM with or without CGF. Visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score was recorded within1 week and Landry wound healing index (LWHI) was recorded at 1, 2 and 3 weeks after operation. CBCT was taken preoperatively and 3 and 6 months postoperatively to measure and compare the changes of vertical height, width and gray value of alveolar bone at extraction site. The changes of alveolar bone contour were observed clinically and compared between the two groups. Results The VAS score of CGF group was lower than control group on the 1st and 3rd day after operation (P < 0.05). The LWHI of CGF group was higher than control group 1 week after operation (P < 0.05). The absorption of the labial and palatal plates height and the width in the CGF group was significantly less than the control group at 3 months (P < 0.05). The gray value of alveolar bone in CGF group was significantly higher than control group at 3 months (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in new bone contour between the two groups (P > 0.05). 94.7% cases in CGF group did not undergo bone grafting, which was significantly higher than control group (78.9%). Conclusions The use of CGF combined with DBBM can help to reduce postoperative pain at the early stage of healing, form sufficient keratinized gingival tissue, effectively maintain the height and width of alveolar bone in the three-dimensional direction and provide good conditions for implant repair in the future.

Abstract
In this work, we evaluated the influence of a novel hybrid 3D-printed porous composite scaffold based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) microparticles in the process of adhesion, proliferation, and osteoblastic differentiation of multipotent adult human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (ah-BM-MSCs) cultured under basal and osteogenic conditions. The in vitro biological response of ah-BM-MSCs seeded on the scaffolds was evaluated in terms of cytotoxicity, adhesion, and proliferation (AlamarBlue Assay®) after 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of culture. The osteogenic differentiation was assessed by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, mineralization (Alizarin Red Solution, ARS), expression of surface markers (CD73, CD90, and CD105), and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) after 7 and 14 days of culture. The scaffolds tested were found to be bioactive and biocompatible, as demonstrated by their effects on cytotoxicity (viability) and extracellular matrix production. The mineralization and ALP assays revealed that osteogenic differentiation increased in the presence of PCL/β-TCP scaffolds. The latter was also confirmed by the gene expression levels of the proteins involved in the ossification process. Our results suggest that similar bio-inspired hybrid composite materials would be excellent candidates for osteoinductive and osteogenic medical-grade scaffolds to support cell proliferation and differentiation for tissue engineering, which warrants future in vivo research.

Abstract
Acellular tendon matrix is an ideal substitute for constructing tissue engineering ligaments, but using detergents causes damage to collagen and fibrin during the process of decellularization. In this study, fresh tendons were lyophilized and separated into fresh tendon fiber (FTF) bundles, and then the cellular components in FTF were removed to prepare acellular tendon fiber (ATF) without adding chemical detergent. H&E staining and DAPI fluorescence microscopy showed no nucleus and DNA residue. Compared with FTFs, the DNA content of ATFs was significantly lower without the collagen content change before and after decellularization. The microstructure of collagen fibrils in ATFs was intact under scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the maximum tensile load and elastic modulus between FTFs and ATFs were not statistically different. The ATF bundles were cultured with SD rat tenocytes for 72 hr and cells attachment to fiber surfaces were observed under SEM. ATF bundles were then implanted into paraspinal muscles, and histological analysis showed fibroblast-like cells within the ATFs and was similar to the control group (fresh tendon autograft) in morphology. H&E staining showed that the number of lymphocytes and plasma cells in ATF was less than that in fresh tendon autograft. ATF bundles were twisted into linear fiber materials by hand, of which the maximum breaking strength was similar to silk with same diameter. These findings demonstrated that ATFs retain their original fibril structure and mechanical properties after decellularization by trypsin and pancreatic deoxyribonuclease without detergent. Lyophilized ATFs linear fiber material provides the possibility of preparing personalized ligament and other tissue engineering scaffolds.
