Abstract
During the past two decades, tremendous progress has been made in the development of biodegradable polymeric materials for various industrial applications, including human and veterinary medicine. They are promising alternatives to commonly used non-degradable polymers to combat the global plastic waste crisis. Among biodegradable polymers used, or potentially applicable to, veterinary medicine are natural polysaccharides, such as chitin, chitosan, and cellulose as well as various polyesters, including poly(ε-caprolactone), polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), and polyhydroxyalkanoates produced by bacteria. They can be used as implants, drug carriers, or biomaterials in tissue engineering and wound management. Their use in veterinary practice depends on their biocompatibility, inertness to living tissue, mechanical resistance, and sorption characteristics. They must be designed specifically to fit their purpose, whether it be: (1) facilitating new tissue growth and allowing for controlled interactions with living cells or cell-growth factors, (2) having mechanical properties that address functionality when applied as implants, or (3) having controlled degradability to deliver drugs to their targeted location when applied as drug-delivery vehicles. This paper aims to present recent developments in the research on biodegradable polymers in veterinary medicine and highlight the challenges and future perspectives in this area.

Abstract
Strategic bone grafts are required to regenerate periodontal bone defects owing to limited self-healing. Current bioceramic particle or deproteinized bovine bone (DBB) products are not able to ideally meet clinical requirements, such as insufficient operability and slow degradation rates. Herein, a strong-interacted bone graft was designed and synthesized by modifying hydroxyapatite (HA) with a lactide-caprolactone copolymer (PLCL) to improve component homogeneity and mechanical properties. The physical-chemical analysis indicated that HA particles were homogenously distributed in HA/PLCL bone grafts, possessed outstanding thermoplasticity, and facilitated clinic operability and initial mechanical support. The in vitro study suggested that HA/PLCL bone graft degraded in a spatiotemporal model. Micropores were formed on the non-porous surface at the beginning, and interconnected porous structures were gradually generated. Furthermore, HA/PLCL bone grafts exhibited excellent biocompatibility and osteogenic ability as revealed in vitro cell culture and in vivo animal experiments. When applied to rat periodontal bone defects, the HA/PLCL bone graft showed a non-inferior bone regeneration compared to the commercial DBB. This study proposes a potential bone graft for periodontal bone repair with thermoplastic, spatiotemporal degraded, and osteogenic characteristics.

Abstract
The incessant developments in the pharmaceutical and biomedical fields, particularly, customised solutions for specific diseases with targeted therapeutic treatments, require the design of multicomponent materials with multifunctional capabilities. Biodegradable polymers offer a variety of tailored physicochemical properties minimising health adverse side effects at a low price and weight, which are ideal to design matrices for hybrid materials. PLAs emerge as an ideal candidate to develop novel materials as are endowed withcombined ambivalent performance parameters. The state-of-the-art of use of PLA-based materials aimed at pharmaceutical and biomedical applications is reviewed, with an emphasis on the correlation between the synthesis and the processing conditions that define the nanostructure generated, with the final performance studies typically conducted with either therapeutic agents by in vitro and/or in vivo experiments or biomedical devices.

Abstract
Photocross-linked alginate hydrogels, due to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, strong control for gelling kinetics in space and time, and admirable adaptability for in situ polymerization with a minimally invasive approach in surgical procedures, have created great expectations in bone regeneration. However, hydrogels with suitable degradation kinetics that can match the tissue regeneration process have not been designed, which limits their further application in bone tissue engineering. Herein, we finely developed an oxidation strategy for alginate to obtain hydrogels with more suitable degradation rates and comprehensively explored their physical and biological performances in vitro and in vivo to further advance the clinical application for the hydrogels in bone repair. The physical properties of the gels can be tuned via tailoring the degree of alginate oxidation. In particular, in vivo degradation studies showed that the degradation rates of the gels were significantly increased by oxidizing alginate. The activity, proliferation, initial adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation of rat and rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) cultured with/in the hydrogels were explored, and the results demonstrated that the gels possessed excellent biocompatibility and that the encapsulated BMSCs were capable of osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, in vivo implantation of rabbit BMSC-loaded gels into tibial plateau defects of rabbits demonstrated the feasibility of hydrogels with appropriate degradation rates for bone repair. This study indicated that hydrogels with increasingly controllable and matchable degradation kinetics and satisfactory bioproperties demonstrate great clinical potential in bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and could also provide references for drug/growth-factor delivery therapeutic strategies for diseases requiring specific drug/growth-factor durations of action.
