Abstract
Repair of bone defects exceeding a critical size has been always a big challenge in clinical practice. Tissue engineering has exhibited great potential to effectively repair the defects with less adverse effect than traditional bone grafts, during which how to induce vascularized bone formation has been recognized as a critical issue. Therefore, recently many studies have been launched to attempt to promote osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling. This review summarized comprehensively and explored in depth current efforts to ameliorate the coupling of osteogenesis and angiogenesis from four aspects, namely the optimization of scaffold components, modification of scaffold structures, loading strategies for bioactive substances, and employment tricks for appropriate cells. Especially, the advantages and the possible reasons for every strategy, as well as the challenges, were elaborated. Furthermore, some promising research directions were proposed based on an in-depth analysis of the current research. This paper will hopefully spark new ideas and approaches for more efficiently boosting new vascularized bone formations.

Abstract
There has been increasing attention to produce porous scaffolds that mimic human bone properties for enhancement of tissue ingrowth, regeneration, and integration. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, i.e., three dimensional (3D) printing, have played a substantial role in engineering porous scaffolds for clinical applications owing to their high level of design and fabrication flexibility. To this end, this review article attempts to provide a detailed overview on the main design considerations of porous scaffolds such as permeability, adhesion, vascularisation, and interfacial features and their interplay to affect bone regeneration and osseointegration. Physiology of bone regeneration was initially explained that was followed by analysing the impacts of porosity, pore size, permeability and surface chemistry of porous scaffolds on bone regeneration in defects. Importantly, major 3D printing methods employed for fabrication of porous bone substitutes were also discussed. Advancements of MA technologies have allowed for the production of bone scaffolds with complex geometries in polymers, composites and metals with well-tailored architectural, mechanical, and mass transport features. In this way, a particular attention was devoted to reviewing 3D printed scaffolds with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) geometries that mimic the hierarchical structure of human bones. In overall, this review enlighten a design pathway to produce patient-specific 3D-printed bone substitutions with high regeneration and osseointegration capacity for repairing large bone defects.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a vital clinical challenge in massive or complicated bone defects. Recently, bone tissue engineering has come to the fore to meet the demand for bone repair with various innovative materials. However, the reported materials usually cannot satisfy the requirements, such as ideal mechanical and osteogenic properties, as well as biocompatibility at the same time. Mg-based biomaterials have considerable potential in bone tissue engineering owing to their excellent mechanical strength and biosafety. Moreover, the biocompatibility and osteogenic activity of Mg-based biomaterials have been the research focuses in recent years. The main limitation faced in the applications of Mg-based biomaterials is rapid degradation, which can produce excessive Mg2+ and hydrogen, affecting the healing of the bone defect. In order to overcome the limitations, researchers have explored several ways to improve the properties of Mg-based biomaterials, including alloying, surface modification with coatings, and synthesizing other composite materials to control the degradation rate upon implantation. This article reviewed the osteogenic mechanism and requirement for appropriate degradation rate and focused on current progress in the biomedical use of Mg-based biomaterials to inspire more clinical applications of Mg in bone regeneration in the future.

Abstract
The design of a scaffold that can regulate the sequential differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) according to the endochondral ossification (ECO) mechanism is highly desirable for effective bone regeneration. In this study, we successfully fabricated a dual-networked composite hydrogel composed of gelatin and hyaluronic acid (termed GCDH-M), which can sequentially release chondroitin sulfate (CS) and magnesium/silicon (Mg/Si) ions to provide spatiotemporal guidance for chondrogenesis, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. The fast release of CS is from the GCDH hydrogel, and the sustained releases of Mg/Si ions are from poly(lactide-co-glycolide) microspheres embedded in the hydrogel. There is a difference in the release rates between CS and ions, resulting in the ability for the fast release of CS and sustained release of ions. The dual networks between the modified gelatin and hyaluronic acid via covalent bonding and host-guest interactions render the hydrogel with some dynamic feature to meet the differentiation development of BMSCs laden inside the hydrogel, i.e., transforming into a chondrogenic phenotype, further to a hypertrophic phenotype and eventually to an osteogenic phenotype. As evidenced by the results of in vitro and in vivo evaluations, this GCDH-M composite hydrogel was proved to be able to create an optimal microenvironment for embedded BMSCs responding to the sequential guiding signals, which aligns with the rhythm of the ECO process and ultimately boosts bone regeneration. The promising outcome achieved with this innovative hydrogel system sheds light on novel scaffold design targeting bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most vascular network-rich tissues in the body and the vascular system is essential for the development, homeostasis, and regeneration of bone. When segmental irreversible damage occurs to the bone, restoring its vascular system by means other than autogenous bone grafts with vascular pedicles is a therapeutic challenge. By pre-generating the vascular network of the scaffold in vivo or in vitro, the pre-vascularization technique enables an abundant blood supply in the scaffold after implantation. However, pre-vascularization techniques are time-consuming, and in vivo pre-vascularization techniques can be damaging to the body. Critical bone deficiencies may be filled quickly with immediate implantation of a supporting bone tissue engineered scaffold. However, bone tissue engineered scaffolds generally lack vascularization, which requires modification of the scaffold to aid in enhancing internal vascularization. In this review, we summarize the relationship between the vascular system and osteogenesis and use it as a basis to further discuss surgical and cytotechnology-based pre-vascularization strategies and to describe the preparation of vascularized bone tissue engineered scaffolds that can be implanted immediately. We anticipate that this study will serve as inspiration for future vascularized bone tissue engineered scaffold construction and will aid in the achievement of clinical vascularized bone.

Abstract
In the advancing landscape of technology and novel material development, additive manufacturing (AM) is steadily making strides within the biomedical sector. Moving away from traditional, one-size-fits-all implant solutions, the advent of AM technology allows for patient-specific scaffolds that could improve integration and enhance wound healing. These scaffolds, meticulously designed with a myriad of geometries, mechanical properties, and biological responses, are made possible through the vast selection of materials and fabrication methods at our disposal. Recognizing the importance of precision in the treatment of bone defects, which display variability from macroscopic to microscopic scales in each case, a tailored treatment strategy is required. A patient-specific AM bone scaffold perfectly addresses this necessity. This review elucidates the pivotal role that customized AM bone scaffolds play in bone defect treatment, while offering comprehensive guidelines for their customization. This includes aspects such as bone defect imaging, material selection, topography design, and fabrication methodology. Additionally, we propose a cooperative model involving the patient, clinician, and engineer, thereby underscoring the interdisciplinary approach necessary for the effective design and clinical application of these customized AM bone scaffolds. This collaboration promises to usher in a new era of bioactive medical materials, responsive to individualized needs and capable of pushing boundaries in personalized medicine beyond those set by traditional medical materials.

Abstract
It is widely known that bone has intrinsic capacity to self-regenerate after injury. However, the physiological regeneration process can be impaired when there is an extensive damage. One of the main reasons is due to the inability to establish a new vascular network that ensures oxygen and nutrient diffusion, leading to a necrotic core and non-junction of bone. Initially, bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged to use inert biomaterials to just fill bone defects, but it eventually evolved to mimic bone extracellular matrix and even stimulate bone physiological regeneration process. In this regard, the stimulation of osteogenesis has gained a lot of attention especially in the proper stimulation of angiogenesis, being critical to achieve a successful osteogenesis for bone regeneration. Besides, the immunomodulation of a pro-inflammatory environment towards an anti-inflammatory one upon scaffold implantation has been considered another key process for a proper tissue restoration. To stimulate these phases, growth factors and cytokines have been extensively used. Nonetheless, they present some drawbacks such as low stability and safety concerns. Alternatively, the use of inorganic ions has attracted higher attention due to their higher stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects. This review will first focus in giving fundamental aspects of initial bone regeneration phases, focusing mainly on inflammatory and angiogenic ones. Then, it will describe the role of different inorganic ions in modulating the immune response upon biomaterial implantation towards a restorative environment and their ability to stimulate angiogenic response for a proper scaffold vascularization and successful bone tissue restoration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The impairment of bone tissue regeneration when there is excessive damage has led to different tissue engineered strategies to promote bone healing. Significant importance has been given in the immunomodulation towards an anti-inflammatory environment together with proper angiogenesis stimulation in order to achieve successful bone regeneration rather than stimulating only the osteogenic differentiation. Ions have been considered potential candidates to stimulate these events due to their high stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects compared to growth factors. However, up to now, no review has been published assembling all this information together, describing individual effects of ions on immunomodulation and angiogenic stimulation, as well as their multifunctionality or synergistic effects when combined together.

Abstract
Three-dimensional printed (3DP) tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffolds can guide bone regeneration, especially for patient-specific defect repair applications in low-load bearing sites. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a green tea compound, has gained attention as a safer alternative treatment for bone disorders. The 3DP TCP scaffold is designed for localized EGCG delivery, which can enhance in vitro osteogenic ability, anti-osteoclastogenic activity, vascularization formation, and chemoprevention. In the cocultures of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and monocytes (THP-1), EGCG release enhances osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs at day 16 compared to the control; this is indicated by a 2.8- and 4.0-fold upregulation of Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) and bone gamma-carboxyglutamic acid-containing protein (BGLAP), the early and late osteoblast differentiation marker expressions. However, EGCG significantly downregulates the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) expression by 7.0-fold, indicating that EGCG suppresses RANKL-induced osteoclast maturation. EGCG also stimulates endothelial tube formation at as early as 3 hours when human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) grow on Matrigel. It reduces human osteosarcoma MG-63 cell viability by 66% compared to the control at day 11. An in vitro release kinetics study demonstrates that EGCG shows a ∼64% release within a day followed by a sustained release in the physiological environment (pH 7.4) because its phenolic hydroxyl groups are easily deprotonated at physiological pH. These findings contribute to developing a multifunctional scaffold for the treatment of low load-bearing patient-specific bone defects after trauma and tumor excision.

Abstract
Bone is a highly vascularized tissue, and the ability of magnesium (Mg) to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis has been widely studied. The aim of bone tissue engineering is to repair bone tissue defects and restore its normal function. Various Mg-enriched materials that can promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis have been made. Here, we introduce several types of orthopedic clinical uses of Mg; recent advances in the study of metal materials releasing Mg ions (pure Mg, Mg alloy, coated Mg, Mg-rich composite, ceramic, and hydrogel) are reviewed. Most studies suggest that Mg can enhance vascularized osteogenesis in bone defect areas. Additionally, we summarized some research on the mechanisms related to vascularized osteogenesis. In addition, the experimental strategies for the research of Mg-enriched materials in the future are put forward, in which clarifying the specific mechanism of promoting angiogenesis is the crux.

Abstract
Introduction: Recently, efforts towards the development of patient-specific 3D printed scaffolds for bone tissue engineering from bioactive ceramics have continuously intensified. For reconstruction of segmental defects after subtotal mandibulectomy a suitable tissue engineered bioceramic bone graft needs to be endowed with homogenously distributed osteoblasts in order to mimic the advantageous features of vascularized autologous fibula grafts, which represent the standard of care, contain osteogenic cells and are transplanted with the respective blood vessel. Consequently, inducing vascularization early on is pivotal for bone tissue engineering. The current study explored an advanced bone tissue engineering approach combining an advanced 3D printing technique for bioactive resorbable ceramic scaffolds with a perfusion cell culture technique for pre-colonization with mesenchymal stem cells, and with an intrinsic angiogenesis technique for regenerating critical size, segmental discontinuity defects in vivo applying a rat model. To this end, the effect of differing Si-CAOP (silica containing calcium alkali orthophosphate) scaffold microarchitecture arising from 3D powder bed printing (RP) or the Schwarzwalder Somers (SSM) replica fabrication technique on vascularization and bone regeneration was analyzed in vivo. In 80 rats 6-mm segmental discontinuity defects were created in the left femur. Methods: Embryonic mesenchymal stem cells were cultured on RP and SSM scaffolds for 7d under perfusion to create Si-CAOP grafts with terminally differentiated osteoblasts and mineralizing bone matrix. These scaffolds were implanted into the segmental defects in combination with an arteriovenous bundle (AVB). Native scaffolds without cells or AVB served as controls. After 3 and 6 months, femurs were processed for angio-µCT or hard tissue histology, histomorphometric and immunohistochemical analysis of angiogenic and osteogenic marker expression. Results: At 3 and 6 months, defects reconstructed with RP scaffolds, cells and AVB displayed a statistically significant higher bone area fraction, blood vessel volume%, blood vessel surface/volume, blood vessel thickness, density and linear density than defects treated with the other scaffold configurations. Discussion: Taken together, this study demonstrated that the AVB technique is well suited for inducing adequate vascularization of the tissue engineered scaffold graft in segmental defects after 3 and 6 months, and that our tissue engineering approach employing 3D powder bed printed scaffolds facilitated segmental defect repair.

Application of 3D Printing in Bone Grafts. Cells 2023; 12:cells12060859. [PMID: 36980200 PMCID: PMC10047278 DOI: 10.3390/cells12060859] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The application of 3D printing in bone grafts is gaining in importance and is becoming more and more popular. The choice of the method has a direct impact on the preparation of the patient for surgery, the probability of rejection of the transplant, and many other complications. The aim of the article is to discuss methods of bone grafting and to compare these methods. This review of literature is based on a selective literature search of the PubMed and Web of Science databases from 2001 to 2022 using the search terms “bone graft”, “bone transplant”, and “3D printing”. In addition, we also reviewed non-medical literature related to materials used for 3D printing. There are several methods of bone grafting, such as a demineralized bone matrix, cancellous allograft, nonvascular cortical allograft, osteoarticular allograft, osteochondral allograft, vascularized allograft, and an autogenic transplant using a bone substitute. Currently, autogenous grafting, which involves removing the patient’s bone from an area of low aesthetic importance, is referred to as the gold standard. 3D printing enables using a variety of materials. 3D technology is being applied to bone tissue engineering much more often. It allows for the treatment of bone defects thanks to the creation of a porous scaffold with adequate mechanical strength and favorable macro- and microstructures. Bone tissue engineering is an innovative approach that can be used to repair multiple bone defects in the process of transplantation. In this process, biomaterials are a very important factor in supporting regenerative cells and the regeneration of tissue. We have years of research ahead of us; however, it is certain that 3D printing is the future of transplant medicine.

Abstract
The addition of dopants in biomaterials has emerged as a critical regulator of bone formation and regeneration due to their imminent role in the biological process. The present work evaluated the role of strontium (Sr) and magnesium (Mg) dopants in brushite cement (BrC) on in vivo bone healing performance in a rabbit model. Pure, 1 wt% SrO (Sr-BrC), 1 wt% MgO (Mg-BrC), and a binary composition of 1.0 wt% SrO + 1.0 wt% MgO (Sr + Mg-BrC) BrCs were implanted into critical-sized tibial defects in rabbits for up to 4 months. The in vivo bone healing of three doped and pure BrC samples was examined and compared using sequential radiological examination, histological evaluations, and fluorochrome labeling studies. The results indicated excellent osseous tissue formation for Sr-BrC and Sr + Mg-BrC and moderate bone regeneration for Mg-BrC compared to pure BrC. Our findings indicated that adding small amounts of SrO, MgO, and binary dopants to the BrC can significantly influence new bone formation for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Using a real bone is very important to find correct results for the biomechanical studies. However, it is very difficult to find the real bone and sometimes artificial bone models can be preferred instead of real bone. The aim of this study is to obtain an easy-to-manufacture, easy-to-customize and inexpensive method the artificial first metatarsal bone model that is similar material properties with the real bone. 3D printer technology was used to produce the artificial bone model. First metatarsal bone was modeled using MIMICS software to produce and determined the mechanical properties. The bone mechanical properties were calculated via MIMICS software using computer tomography images. 3D bone models were produced in different infill density and infill pattern to determine the real bone mechanical properties using 3D printer. The infill density of the bone model was adjusted as 20%, 40%, and 60%. Five different infill pattern types were used as grid, cubic, triangle, trihexagon, and gyroid. The produced models were subjected to torsional test and the elasticity modulus of all models were obtained. The results of the elasticity modulus of all produced (artificial) and modeled (calculated) bone were compared and the optimum bone model was obtained. The optimum infill density and infill pattern was determined as 40% and trihexagon, respectively.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an additive manufacturing technique that creates objects under computer control. Owing to the rapid advancement of science and technology, 3D printing technology has been widely utilized in processing and manufacturing but rarely used in the pharmaceutical field. The first commercial form of Spritam® immediate-release tablet was approved by FDA in 2015, which promoted the advancement of 3D printing technology in pharmaceutical development. Three-dimensional printing technology is able to meet individual treatment demands with customized size, shape, and release rate, which overcomes the difficulties of traditional pharmaceutical technology. This paper intends to discuss the critical process parameters of binder jet 3D printing technology, list its application in pharmaceutical manufacturing in recent years, summarize the still-open questions, and demonstrate its great potential in the pharmaceutical industry.

Abstract
As the need for efficient, sustainable, customizable, handy and affordable substitute materials for bone repair is critical, this systematic review aimed to assess the use and outcomes of silica-derived inks to promote in vivo bone regeneration. An algorithmic selection of articles was performed following the PRISMA guidelines and PICO method. After the initial selection, 51 articles were included. Silicon in ink formulations was mostly found to be in either the native material, but associated with a secondary role, or to be a crucial additive element used to dope an existing material. The inks and materials presented here were essentially extrusion-based 3D-printed (80%), and, overall, the most investigated animal model was the rabbit (65%) with a femoral defect (51%). Quality (ARRIVE 2.0) and risk of bias (SYRCLE) assessments outlined that although a large majority of ARRIVE items were “reported”, most risks of bias were left “unclear” due to a lack of precise information. Almost all studies, despite a broad range of strategies and formulations, reported their silica-derived material to improve bone regeneration. The rising number of publications over the past few years highlights Si as a leverage element for bone tissue engineering to closely consider in the future.

Abstract
There are few studies about anatomical reduction of the fractured vertebral body before stabilization for treatment of vertebral compression fracture (VCF). Although restoration on vertebral height has been useful, the reduction of fractured endplates is limited. The vertebra is part of a joint, and vertebral endplates must be treated like other weight-bearing joint to avoid complications. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of anatomic reduction of vertebral compression fracture, in different bone conditions, fracture types, and ages (VCF). Under methodological point of view, we followed different steps: first was the placement of two expandable titanium implants just below the fracture. Later, to push the fractured endplates into a more anatomical position, the implants were expanded. Finally, with the implants perfectly positioned, PMMA cement was injected to avoid any loss of correction. To evaluate the effectiveness of this procedure in anatomical fracture reduction, a method based on 3D CT reconstructions was developed. In this paper, we have developed the procedure in three case studies. In all of them, we were able to demonstrate the efficacy of this procedure to reduce the VCF. The percentage of correction of the kyphotic angle varied range between 49% and 62% with respect to the value after the fracture preoperative value. This was accompanied by a reduction of the pain level on the VAS scale around 50%. In conclusion, this novel approach to the vertebral fracture treatment (VCF) associated with 3D assessment have demonstrated the possibility of reducing the vertebral kyphosis angle and the vertebral endplate fractures. However, given the few cases presented, more studies are necessaries to confirm these results.

Abstract
Achieving rapid osteogenesis and angiogenesis was the key factor for bone regeneration. In the present study, the strontium-substituted calcium silicate (SrCS)/silk fibroin (SF) composite materials have been constructed by combining the different functional component ratios of SrCS (12.5 wt%, 25 wt%) and SF. Then, the effects of SrCS/SF materials on proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic factor secretion of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (rBMSCs) were first evaluated in vitro. Moreover, the in vivo effect of osteogenesis was evaluated in a critical-sized rat calvarial defect model. In vitro studies showed that SrCS/SF significantly enhanced the cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and the expression of osteogenic and angiogenic factors of rBMSCs as compared with the SF and CS/SF, and the optimum proportion ratio was 25 wt%. Besides, the results also showed that CS/SF achieved enhanced effects on rBMSCs as compared with SF. The in vivo results showed that 25 wt% SrCS/SF could obviously promote new bone formation more than SF and CS/SF. The present study revealed that SrCS could significantly promote the osteogenic and angiogenic activities of SF, and SrCS/SF might be a good scaffold material for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The usage of bone substitute granule materials has improved the clinical results of alveolar bone deficiencies treatment and thus broadened applications in implant dentistry. However, because of the complicated mechanisms controlling the foreign body response, no perfect solution can avoid the fibrotic encapsulation of materials till now, which may impair the results of bone regeneration, even cause the implant materials rejection. Recently, the concept of 'osteoimmunology' has been stressed. The outcomes of bone regeneration are proved to be related to the bio-physicochemical properties of biomaterials, which allow them to regulate the biological behaviours of both innate and adaptive immune cells. With the development of single cell transcriptome, the truly heterogeneity of osteo-immune cells has been clarifying, which is helpful to overcome the limitations of traditional M1/M2 macrophage nomenclature and drive the advancements of particulate biomaterials applications. This review aims at introducing the mechanisms of optimal osseointegration regulated by immune systems and provides feasible strategies for the design of next generation 'osteoimmune-smart' particulate bone substitute materials in dental clinic.

Abstract
Large bone defects with limited intrinsic regenerative potential represent a major surgical challenge and are associated with a high socio-economic burden and severe reduction in the quality of life. Tissue engineering approaches offer the possibility to induce new functional bone regeneration, with the biomimetic scaffold serving as a bridge to create a microenvironment that enables a regenerative niche at the site of damage. Magnetic nanoparticles have emerged as a potential tool in bone tissue engineering that leverages the inherent magnetism of magnetic nano particles in cellular microenvironments providing direction in enhancing the osteoinductive, osteoconductive and angiogenic properties in the design of scaffolds. There are conflicting opinions and reports on the role of MNPs on these scaffolds, such as the true role of magnetism, the application of external magnetic fields in combination with MNPs, remote delivery of biomechanical stimuli in-vivo and magnetically controlled cell retention or bioactive agent delivery in promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In this review, we focus on the role of magnetic nanoparticles for bone-tissue-engineering applications in both disease modelling and treatment of injuries and disease. We highlight the materials-design pathway from implementation strategy through the selection of materials and fabrication methods to evaluation.

Abstract
Bio-scaffolds are synthetic entities widely employed in bone and soft-tissue regeneration applications. These bio-scaffolds are applied to the defect site to provide support and favor cell attachment and growth, thereby enhancing the regeneration of the defective site. The progressive research in bio-scaffold fabrication has led to identification of biocompatible and mechanically stable materials. The difficulties in obtaining grafts and expenditure incurred in the transplantation procedures have also been overcome by the implantation of bio-scaffolds. Drugs, cells, growth factors, and biomolecules can be embedded with bio-scaffolds to provide localized treatments. The right choice of materials and fabrication approaches can help in developing bio-scaffolds with required properties. This review mostly focuses on the available materials and bio-scaffold techniques for bone and soft-tissue regeneration application. The first part of this review gives insight into the various classes of biomaterials involved in bio-scaffold fabrication followed by design and simulation techniques. The latter discusses the various additive, subtractive, hybrid, and other improved techniques involved in the development of bio-scaffolds for bone regeneration applications. Techniques involving multimaterial printing and multidimensional printing have also been briefly discussed.

Abstract
Biomimetics is an emerging field of science that adapts the working principles from nature to fine-tune the engineering design aspects to mimic biological structure and functions. The application mainly focuses on the development of medical implants for hard and soft tissue replacements. Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is an established processing norm with a superior resolution and control over process parameters than conventional methods and has allowed the incessant amalgamation of biomimetics into material manufacturing, thereby improving the adaptation of biomaterials and implants into the human body. The conventional manufacturing practices had design restrictions that prevented mimicking the natural architecture of human tissues into material manufacturing. However, with additive manufacturing, the material construction happens layer-by-layer over multiple axes simultaneously, thus enabling finer control over material placement, thereby overcoming the design challenge that prevented developing complex human architectures. This review substantiates the dexterity of additive manufacturing in utilizing biomimetics to 3D print ceramic, polymer, and metal implants with excellent resemblance to natural tissue. It also cites some clinical references of experimental and commercial approaches employing biomimetic 3D printing of implants.

Abstract
For craniofacial bone regeneration, how to promote vascularized bone regeneration is still a significant problem, and the controlled release of trace elements vital to osteogenesis has attracted attention. In this study, an ion co-delivery system was developed to promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Magnesium ions (Mg2+) and lanthanum ions (La3+) were selected as biosignal molecules because Mg2+can promote angiogenesis and both of them can enhance bone formation. Microspheres made of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) were applied to load La2(CO3)3, which was embedded into a MgO/MgCO3-loaded cryogel made of photocrosslinkable gelatin methacryloyl to enable co-delivery of Mg2+and La3+. Evaluations of angiogenesis and osteogenesis were conducted via bothin vitrocell culture using human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells andin vivoimplantation using a rat model with calvarial defect (5 mm in diameter). Compared to systems releasing only Mg2+or La3+, the combination system demonstrated more significant effects on blood vessels formation, thereby promoting the regeneration of vascularized bone tissue. At 8 weeks post-implantation, the new bone volume/total bone volume ratio reached a value of 40.1 ± 0.9%. In summary, a properly designed scaffold system with the capacity to release ions of different bioactivities in a desired pattern can be a promising strategy to meet vascularized bone regeneration requirements.

Abstract
This review focuses on recently developed printable biomaterials for bone and mineralized tissue engineering. 3D printing or bioprinting is an advanced technology to design and fabricate complex functional 3D scaffolds, mimicking native tissue forin vivoapplications. We categorized the biomaterials into two main classes: 3D printing and bioprinting. Various biomaterials, including natural, synthetic biopolymers and their composites, have been studied. Biomaterial inks or bioinks used for bone and mineralized tissue regeneration include hydrogels loaded with minerals or bioceramics, cells, and growth factors. In 3D printing, the scaffold is created by acellular biomaterials (biomaterial inks), while in 3D bioprinting, cell-laden hydrogels (bioinks) are used. Two main classes of bioceramics, including bioactive and bioinert ceramics, are reviewed. Bioceramics incorporation provides osteoconductive properties and induces bone formation. Each biopolymer and mineral have its advantages and limitations. Each component of these composite biomaterials provides specific properties, and their combination can ameliorate the mechanical properties, bioactivity, or biological integration of the 3D printed scaffold. Present challenges and future approaches to address them are also discussed.

Double-edged effects caused by magnesium ions and alkaline environment regulate bioactivities of magnesium-incorporated silicocarnotite in vitro. Regen Biomater 2021; 8:rbab016.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) is an important element for its enhanced osteogenic and angiogenic properties in vitro and in vivo, however, the inherent alkalinity is the adverse factor that needs further attention. In order to study the role of alkalinity in regulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro, magnesium-silicocarnotite [Mg-Ca5(PO4)2SiO4, Mg-CPS] was designed and fabricated. In this study, Mg-CPS showed better osteogenic and angiogenic properties than CPS within 10 wt.% magnesium oxide (MgO), since the adversity of alkaline condition was covered by the benefits of improved Mg ion concentrations through activating Smad2/3-Runx2 signaling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. Besides, provided that MgO was incorporated with 15 wt.% in CPS, the bioactivities had declined due to the environment consisting of higher-concentrated Mg ions, stronger alkalinity and lower Ca/P/Si ions caused. According to the results, it indicated that bioactivities of Mg-CPS in vitro were regulated by the double-edged effects, which were the consequence of Mg ions and alkaline environment combined. Therefore, if MgO is properly incorporated in CPS, the improved bioactivities could cover alkaline adversity, making Mg-CPS bioceramics promising in orthopedic clinical application for its enhancement of osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro.

Abstract
Calcium silicate is a common implant material with excellent mechanical strength and good biological activity. In recent years, the addition of strengthening materials to calcium silicate has been proven to promote bone tissue regeneration, but its degradation properties require further improvements. In this paper, calcium silicate was used as the matrix, and 10 wt% hydroxyapatite and 10 wt% strontium phosphate were added to im prove the biological activity of the scaffold. The effect of adding different amounts of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O) on the degradation of the scaffold was explored. A porous ceramic scaffold was prepared by digital light processing (DLP) technology, and its performance was evaluated. Cell experiments showed that the addition of calcium sulfate improved cell proliferation and differentiation. Simulated body fluid (SBF) immersion tests showed that small amounts of apatite deposits appeared on the fourth day, larger deposits appeared on the 14th day, and degradation occurred on the surface after 28 days of immersion. Mechanical tests showed that the addition of 5 wt% CaSO4·2H2O improved the compressibility of the composite. After soaking in SBF for 14 days, it retained its compressive strength (11.8 MPa), which meets the requirements of cancellous bone, demonstrating its potential application value for bone repair.

Abstract
With an increasing life expectancy and aging population, orthopedic defects and bone graft surgeries are increasing in global prevalence. Research to date has advanced the understanding of bone biology and defect repair mechanism, leading to a marked success in the development of synthetic bone substitutes. Yet, the quest for functionalized bone grafts prompted the researchers to find a viable alternative that regulates cellular activity and supports bone regeneration and healing process without causing serious side-effects. Recently, researchers have introduced natural medicinal compounds (NMCs) in bone scaffold that enables them to release at a desirable rate, maintains a sustained release allowing sufficient time for tissue in-growth, and guides bone regeneration process with minimized risk of tissue toxicity. According to World Health Organization (WHO), NMCs are gaining popularity in western countries for the last two decades and are being used by 80% of the population worldwide. Compared to synthetic drugs, NMCs have a broader range of safety window and thus suitable for prolonged localized delivery for bone regeneration. There is limited literature focusing on the integration of bone grafts and natural medicines that provides detailed scientific evidences on NMCs, their toxic limits and particular application in bone tissue engineering, which could guide the researchers to develop functionalized implants for various bone disorders. This review will discuss the emerging trend of NMC delivery from bone grafts, including 3D-printed structures and surface-modified implants, highlighting the significance and potential of NMCs for bone health, guiding future paths toward the development of an ideal bone tissue engineering scaffold. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: To date, additive manufacturing technology provids us with many advanced patient specific or defect specific bone constructs exhibiting three-dimensional, well-defined microstructure with interconnected porous networks for defect-repair applications. However, an ideal scaffold should also be able to supply biological signals that actively guide tissue regeneration while simultaneously preventing post-implantation complications. Natural biomolecules are gaining popularity in tissue engineering since they possess a safer, effective approach compared to synthetic drugs. The integration of bone scaffolds and natural biomolecules exploits the advantages of customized, multi-functional bone implants to provide localized delivery of biochemical signals in a controlled manner. This review presents an overview of bone scaffolds as delivery systems for natural biomolecules, which may provide prominent advancement in bone development and improve defect-healing caused by various musculoskeletal disorders.

Lithium and Copper Induce the Osteogenesis-Angiogenesis Coupling of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells via Crosstalk between Canonical Wnt and HIF-1 α Signaling Pathways. Stem Cells Int 2021; 2021:6662164. [PMID: 33763142 PMCID: PMC7962875 DOI: 10.1155/2021/6662164] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Revised: 01/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023] Open
Abstract
The combination of osteogenesis and angiogenesis dual-delivery trace element-carrying bioactive scaffolds and stem cells is a promising method for bone regeneration and repair. Canonical Wnt and HIF-1α signaling pathways are vital for BMSCs' osteogenic differentiation and secretion of osteogenic factors, respectively. Simultaneously, lithium (Li) and copper (Cu) can activate the canonical Wnt and HIF-1α signaling pathway, respectively. Moreover, emerging evidence has shown that the canonical Wnt and HIF signaling pathways are related to coupling osteogenesis and angiogenesis. However, it is still unclear whether the lithium- and copper-doped bioactive scaffold can induce the coupling of the osteogenesis and angiogenesis in BMSCs and the underlying mechanism. So, we fabricated a lithium- (Li+-) and copper- (Cu2+-) doped organic/inorganic (Li 2.5-Cu 1.0-HA/Col) scaffold to evaluate the coupling osteogenesis and angiogenesis effects of lithium and copper on BMSCs and further explore its mechanism. We investigated that the sustained release of lithium and copper from the Li 2.5-Cu 1.0-HA/Col scaffold could couple the osteogenesis- and angiogenesis-related factor secretion in BMSCs seeding on it. Moreover, our results showed that 500 μM Li+ could activate the canonical Wnt signaling pathway and rescue the XAV-939 inhibition on it. In addition, we demonstrated that the 25 μM Cu2+ was similar to 1% oxygen environment in terms of the effectiveness of activating the HIF-1α signaling pathway. More importantly, the combination stimuli of Li+ and Cu2+ could couple the osteogenesis and angiogenesis process and further upregulate the osteogenesis- and angiogenesis-related gene expression via crosstalk between the canonical Wnt and HIF-1α signaling pathway. In conclusion, this study revealed that lithium and copper could crosstalk between the canonical Wnt and HIF-1α signaling pathways to couple the osteogenesis and angiogenesis in BMSCs when they are sustainably released from the Li-Cu-HA/Col scaffold.

Abstract
Collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, chitosan, alginate, and cellulose are biocompatible and non-cytotoxic, being attractive natural polymers for medical devices for both soft and hard tissues. However, such natural polymers have low bioactivity and poor mechanical properties, which limit their applications. To tackle these drawbacks, collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, chitosan, alginate, and cellulose can be combined with bioactive glass (BG) nanoparticles and microparticles to produce composites. The incorporation of BGs improves the mechanical properties of the final system as well as its bioactivity and regenerative potential. Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that polymer/BG composites may improve angiogenesis, neo-vascularization, cells adhesion, and proliferation. This review presents the state of the art and future perspectives of collagen, gelatin, silk fibroin, hyaluronic acid, chitosan, alginate, and cellulose matrices combined with BG particles to develop composites such as scaffolds, injectable fillers, membranes, hydrogels, and coatings. Emphasis is devoted to the biological potentialities of these hybrid systems, which look rather promising toward a wide spectrum of applications.

Abstract
Growing demand in bone tissue replacement has shifted treatment strategy from pursuing traditional autogenous and allogeneic grafts to tissue replacement with bioactive biomaterials. Constructs that exhibit the ability to support the bone structure while encouraging tissue regeneration, integration, and replacement represent the future of bone tissue engineering. The present study aimed to understand the osteogenic and mechanical effects of binder jet 3D printed, porous β-tricalcium phosphate scaffolds modified with a natural polymer/drug coating of polydopamine and Cissus Quadrangularis extract. Compression testing was used to determine the effect the polydopamine coating process had on the mechanical strength of the scaffolds. 3D printed scaffolds with and without polydopamine coatings fractured at 3.88 ± 0.51 MPa and 3.84 ± 1 MPa, respectively, suggesting no detrimental effect on strength due to the coating process. The osteogenic potential of the extract-loaded coating was tested in vitro, under static and dynamic flow conditions, and in vivo in a rat distal femur model. Static osteoblast cultures indicated polydopamine-coated samples with and without the extract exhibited greater proliferation after 3 days (p < 0.05). Similarly, polydopamine resulted in increased proliferation and alkaline phosphatase expression under dynamic flow, but alkaline phosphatase expression was significantly enhanced (p < 0.05) only in samples treated with the extract. Histological analysis of implanted scaffolds showed substantially more new bone growth throughout the implant pores at 4 weeks post-op in polydopamine and extract-loaded implants compared to pure β-tricalcium phosphate. These results indicated that implants coated with polydopamine and Cissus Quadrangularis extract facilitated osteoblast proliferation and alkaline phosphatase production and improved early bone formation and ingrowth while maintaining mechanical strength.

Abstract
Recent challenges in post-surgical bone tumor management have elucidated the need for a multifunctional scaffold, which can be used for residual tumor-cell suppression, defect repair, and simultaneous bone regeneration. In this perspective, 3D printing allows to create a wide variety of patient-specific implant with complex porous architecture and compatible mechanical strength to that of cancellous bone. Here, a multifunctional bone graft substitute is designed by incorporating the three primary soy isoflavones: genistein, daidzein, and glycitein onto a 3D printed (3DP) tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffolds with designed pores, endowing them with in vitro chemopreventive, bone-cell proliferating and immune-modulatory potential. The interconnected porosity and biodegradability of 3DP TCP ceramics have allowed controlled release kinetics of genistein, daidzein and glycitein in acidic and physiological buffer medium for 16 days, which is fitted with Korsmeyer-Peppas model. Presence of genistein, a well-known natural biomolecule shows a 90% reduction in vitro osteosarcoma (MG-63) cell viability and proliferation after 11 days. Meanwhile, daidzein, the other primary isoflavone, promotes in vitro cellular attachment and enhances viability and proliferation of human fetal osteoblast cell (hFOB). Furthermore, controlled release of genistein, daidzein, and glycitein from 3DP TCP scaffold demonstrates improved hFOB cell proliferation, viability, and differentiation in a dynamic flow-perfusion bioreactor, which is utilized to better simulate the clinical microenvironment. Finally, in vivo H&E staining confirms controlled co-delivery of genistein-daidzein-glycitein from 3DP scaffold carefully modulated neutrophil recruitment to the surgery site after 24 h of implantation in a rat distal femur model. These results advance our understanding towards multipronged therapeutic approaches utilizing synthetic bone graft substitutes as a drug delivery vehicle, and more importantly, demonstrate the feasibility of localized tumor cell suppression and bone cell proliferation for post-surgical defect repair application. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Designed multimodal porosity of 3D printed TCP scaffold allows a controlled and sustained release of soy isoflavones, genistein, daidzein and glycitein in both physiological and acidic pH. Presence of genistein shows 90% reduction in vitro bone cancer cell viability and proliferation. Meanwhile, controlled release of genistein, daidzein, and glycitein from 3DP TCP scaffolds demonstrate improved osteoblast cell proliferation, viability, and differentiation in static and dynamic flow-perfusion bioreactor. Furthermore, H&E staining at 24 h post-surgical specimens from rat distal femur model shows neutrophil recruitment at the surgery site is significantly decreased, suggesting the anti-inflammatory property of soy isoflavones. This work provides deeper understanding on the design of a multifunctional 3D printed patient-specific scaffold with enhanced in vitro chemopreventive, osteogenic and in vivo anti-inflammatory ability.

Abstract
Critical-sized defects (CSDs) caused by trauma, tumor resection, or skeletal abnormalities create a high demand for bone repair materials (BRMs). Over the years, scientists have been trying to develop BRMs and evaluate their efficacy using numerous developed methods. BRMs are characterized by osteogenesis and angiogenesis promoting properties, the latter of which has rarely been studied in vitro and in vivo. While blood vessels are required to provide nutrients. Bone mass maintains a dynamic balance under the joint action of osteolytic and osteogenic activity in which monocytes differentiate into osteolytic cells, and osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteogenic cells. This review would be helpful for inexperienced researchers as well as present a comprehensive overview of methods used to investigate the effect of BRMs on osteogenic cells, osteolytic cells, and blood vessels, as well as their biocompatibility and biological performance. This review is expected to facilitate further research and development of new BRMs.

Biofunctional magnesium coated Ti6Al4V scaffold enhances osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo for orthopedic application. Bioact Mater 2020; 5:680-693.

Abstract
The insufficient osteogenesis and osseointegration of porous titanium based scaffold limit its further application. Early angiogenesis is important for scaffold survival. It is necessary to develop a multifunctional surface on titanium scaffold with both osteogenic and angiogenic properties. In this study, a biofunctional magnesium coating is deposited on porous Ti6Al4V scaffold. For osseointegration and osteogenesis analysis, in vitro studies reveal that magnesium-coated Ti6Al4V co-culture with MC3T3-E1 cells can improve cell proliferation, adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization and ALP activity compared with bare Ti6Al4V cocultivation. Additionally, MC3T3-E1 cells cultured with magnesium-coated Ti6Al4V show significantly higher osteogenesis-related genes expression. In vivo studies including fluorochrome labeling, micro-computerized tomography and histological examination of magnesium-coated Ti6Al4V scaffold reveal that new bone regeneration is significantly increased in rabbits after implantation. For angiogenesis studies, magnesium-coated Ti6Al4V improve HUVECs proliferation, adhesion, tube formation, wound-healing and Transwell abilities. HUVECs cultured with magnesium-coated Ti6Al4V display significantly higher angiogenesis-related genes (HIF-1α and VEGF) expression. Microangiography analysis reveal that magnesium-coated Ti6Al4V scaffold can significantly enhance the blood vessel formation. This study enlarges the application scope of magnesium and provides an optional choice to the conventional porous Ti6Al4V scaffold with enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis for further orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Biomaterials as bone substitutes are always considered as foreign bodies that can trigger host immune responses. Traditional designing principles have been always aimed at minimizing the immune reactions by fabricating inert biomaterials. However, clinical evidence revealed that those methods still have limitations and many of which were only feasible in the laboratory. Currently, osteoimmunology, the very pioneering concept is drawing more and more attention-it does not simply regard the immune response as an obstacle during bone healing but emphasizes the intimate relationship of the immune and skeletal system, which includes diverse cells, cytokines, and signaling pathways. Properties of biomaterials like topography, wettability, surface charge, the release of cytokines, mediators, ions and other bioactive molecules can impose effects on immune responses to interfere with the skeletal system. Based on the bone formation mechanisms, the designing methods of the biomaterials change from immune evasive to immune reprogramming. Here, we discuss the osteoimmunomodulatory effects of the new modification strategies-adjusting properties of bone biomaterials to induce a favorable osteoimmune environment. Such strategies showed potential to benefit the development of bone materials and lay a solid foundation for the future clinical application.

Abstract
Recent advances in 3D printing have provided unprecedented opportunities in bone tissue engineering applications for producing a variety of complex patient-specific implants for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects. Natural medicinal compounds (NMCs) with osteogenic potential can be incorporated into these 3D-printed parts to improve bone formation and therefore enhance implant performance. Using NMCs to treat bone-related disorders may prove to be a healthy preventive choice as they are considered safe, have lesser or no side effects, and are more suitable for prolonged use than synthetic drugs. In this review paper, the current challenges of bone tissue engineering are addressed briefly, highlighting the immense potential of NMCs integrated within tissue engineering scaffolds for orthopedic and dental applications.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an extremely convenient biofabrication technique for creating biomimetic tissue-engineered bone constructs and has promising applications in regenerative medicine. However, existing bioinks have shown low mechanical strength, poor osteoinductive ability, and lacking a suitable microenvironment for laden cells. Nanosilicate (nSi) has shown to be a promising biomaterial, due to its unique properties such as excellent biocompatibility, degrade into nontoxic products, and with osteoinductive properties, which has been used in bone bioprinting. However, the long term bone healing effects and associating risks, if any, of using nSi in tissue engineering bone scaffolds in vivo are unclear and require a more thorough assessment prior to practical use. Hence, a functional and biomimetic nanocomposite bioink composed of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), nSi, gelatin and alginate for the 3D bioprinting of tissue-engineered bone constructs is firstly demonstrated, mimicking the structure of extracellular matrix, to create a conducive microenvironment for encapsulated cells. It is shown that the addition of nSi significantly increases the printability and mechanical strength of fabricated human-scale tissue or organ structures (up to 15 mm height) and induces osteogenic differentiation of the encapsulated rBMSCs in the absence of in vitro osteoinductive factors. A systematic in vivo research of the biomimetic nanocomposite bioink scaffolds is further demonstrated in a rat critical-size (8 mm) bone defect-repair model. The in vivo results demonstrate that the 3D bioprinted nanocomposite scaffolds can significantly promote the bone healing of the rat calvarial defects compared to other scaffolds without nSi or cells, and show rarely side effects on the recipients. Given the above advantageous properties, the 3D bioprinted nanocomposite scaffolds can greatly accelerate the bone healing in critical bone defects, thus providing a clinical potential candidate for orthopedic applications.

Abstract
In 2013, the "biofabrication window" was introduced to reflect the processing challenge for the fields of biofabrication and bioprinting. At that time, the lack of printable materials that could serve as cell-laden bioinks, as well as the limitations of printing and assembly methods, presented a major constraint. However, recent developments have now resulted in the availability of a plethora of bioinks, new printing approaches, and the technological advancement of established techniques. Nevertheless, it remains largely unknown which materials and technical parameters are essential for the fabrication of intrinsically hierarchical cell-material constructs that truly mimic biologically functional tissue. In order to achieve this, it is urged that the field now shift its focus from materials and technologies toward the biological development of the resulting constructs. Therefore, herein, the recent material and technological advances since the introduction of the biofabrication window are briefly summarized, i.e., approaches how to generate shape, to then focus the discussion on how to acquire the biological function within this context. In particular, a vision of how biological function can evolve from the possibility to determine shape is outlined.

Abstract
PURPOSE 3D printing technology provides an excellent capability to manufacture customised implants for patients. Now, its applications are also successful in bone tissue engineering. This paper tries to provide a review of the applications of 3D printing in bone tissue engineering. METHODS Searching by keywords, from the Scopus database, to identify relevant latest research articles on 3D printing in bone tissue engineering, through "3D printing" "bone tissue engineering". This study makes a bibliometric analysis of the identified research articles and identified major applications and steps. RESULTS 3D printing technology creates innovative development in bone tissue engineering. It involves the manufacturing of a scaffold with the combination of cells and materials. We identified a total number of 257 research articles through bibliometric analysis by searching through keywords "3D printing" "bone tissue engineering". This paper studies 3D printing technology and its significant contributions, benefits and steps used for bone tissue engineering. Result discusses the essential elements of bone tissue engineering and identifies its five significant advancements when 3D printing is used. Finally, ten useful applications of 3D printing in bone tissue engineering are identified and studied with a brief description. CONCLUSION In orthopaedics, bone defects create a high impact on the quality of life of the patient. It leads to a higher demand for bone substitutes for replacement of bone defect. Bone tissue engineering can help to replace a critical defect bone. 3D printing is a useful technology for the fabrication of scaffolds critical in bone tissue engineering. There are different binders which can create bone scaffolds with requisite mechanical strength. These binders are used to create excellent osteoconductive, bioactive scaffolds. Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) help to provide images of specific defects of an individual patient, and these images can further be used for 3D printing the detective object. A bone defect caused by specific disease is sorted out by transplantation in clinical practice. Now a day bone tissue engineering opens a new option for this treatment of bone defects with the manufacturing of porous bone scaffold using 3D printing technology.

Fabrication and characterization of dextran/nanocrystalline β-tricalcium phosphate nanocomposite hydrogel scaffolds. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 148:434-448. [PMID: 31953173 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.01.112] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2019] [Revised: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 01/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
Design of bioactive three-dimensional scaffolds to support bone tissue repair and regeneration become a key area of research in tissue engineering. Herein, porous hybrid hydrogels composed of dextran incorporated with nanocrystalline β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) particles were tailor made as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. β-TCP was successfully introduced within the dextran networks crosslinked through intermolecular ionic interactions and hydrogen bonding confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy. The effect of β-TCP content on equilibrium water uptake and swelling kinetics of composite hydrogels was investigated. It was found that the homogeneous distribution of β-TCP nanoparticles through the hydrogel matrix contributes to higher porosity and swelling capacity. In depth swelling measurements revealed that while in the early stage of swelling, water diffusion follows the Fick's law, for longer time swelling behavior of hydrogels undergo the second order kinetics. XRD measurements represented the formation of apatite layer on the surface of nanocomposite hydrogels after immersion in the SBF solution, which implies their bioactivity. Cell culture assays confirmed biocompatibility of the developed hybrid hydrogels in vitro. The obtained results converge to offer dextran/β-TCP nanocomposite hydrogels as promising scaffolds for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Trauma, infection, cancer, and congenital diseases can lead to bone defects. The combination of 3D printing with biomaterials is of great significance in the treatment of bone defects. In addition, pulse electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) can promote bone regeneration. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 3D-printed scaffolds using β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) as the raw material combined with a PEMF on the proliferation and differentiation of rat adipose stem cells (rADSCs) and on the repair of critical defects of the rat skull. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was performed to assess the proliferation of rADSCs. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, ALP staining, and the detection of osteogenic-related gene expression were performed to assess the differentiation of rADSCs. Micro-computed tomography and hematoxylin-eosin staining were used to assess the repair of rat skull defects. The results showed that the combination of the scaffold and PEMF could significantly promote the proliferation and differentiation of rADSCs and the repair of a critical defect in the rat skull. Therefore, the combination of β-TCP and PEMF with 3D printing technology can provide better treatment of clinical bone defect patients.

Dipyridamole Augments Three-Dimensionally Printed Bioactive Ceramic Scaffolds to Regenerate Craniofacial Bone. Plast Reconstr Surg 2019; 143:1408-1419.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autologous bone grafts remain a standard of care for the reconstruction of large bony defects, but limitations persist. The authors explored the bone regenerative capacity of customized, three-dimensionally printed bioactive ceramic scaffolds with dipyridamole, an adenosine A2A receptor indirect agonist known to enhance bone formation. METHODS Critical-size bony defects (10-mm height, 10-mm length, full-thickness) were created at the mandibular rami of rabbits (n = 15). Defects were replaced by a custom-to-defect, three-dimensionally printed bioactive ceramic scaffold composed of β-tricalcium phosphate. Scaffolds were uncoated (control), collagen-coated, or immersed in 100 μM dipyridamole. At 8 weeks, animals were euthanized and the rami retrieved. Bone growth was assessed exclusively within scaffold pores, and evaluated by micro-computed tomography/advanced reconstruction software. Micro-computed tomographic quantification was calculated. Nondecalcified histology was performed. A general linear mixed model was performed to compare group means and 95 percent confidence intervals. RESULTS Qualitative analysis did not show an inflammatory response. The control and collagen groups (12.3 ± 8.3 percent and 6.9 ± 8.3 percent bone occupancy of free space, respectively) had less bone growth, whereas the most bone growth was in the dipyridamole group (26.9 ± 10.7 percent); the difference was statistically significant (dipyridamole versus control, p < 0.03; dipyridamole versus collagen, p < 0.01 ). There was significantly more residual scaffold material for the collagen group relative to the dipyridamole group (p < 0.015), whereas the control group presented intermediate values (nonsignificant relative to both collagen and dipyridamole). Highly cellular and vascularized intramembranous-like bone healing was observed in all groups. CONCLUSION Dipyridamole significantly increased the three-dimensionally printed bioactive ceramic scaffold's ability to regenerate bone in a thin bone defect environment.

Dual functional approaches for osteogenesis coupled angiogenesis in bone tissue engineering. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 103:109761. [PMID: 31349418 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.109761] [Citation(s) in RCA: 84] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2018] [Revised: 05/11/2019] [Accepted: 05/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
Bone fracture healing is a multistep and overlapping process of inflammation, angiogenesis and osteogenesis. It is initiated by inflammation, causing the release of various cytokines and growth factors. It leads to the recruitment of stem cells and formation of vasculature resulting in the functional bone formation. This combined phenomenon is used by bone tissue engineers from past few years to address the problem of vasculature and osteogenic differentiation during bone regeneration. In this review, we have discussed all major studies reporting the dual functioning approach to promote osteogenesis coupled angiogenesis using various scaffolds. These scaffolds are broadly classified into four types based on the nature of their structural and functional components. The functionality of the scaffold is either due to the structural components or the loaded cargo which conducts or induces the coupled functionality. Dual delivery system for osteoinductive and angioinductive factors ensures the co-delivery of two different types of molecules to induce osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Single delivery scaffold for angioinductive and osteoinductive molecule releases single type of molecules which could induce both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Osteoconductive scaffold consisted of bone constituents releases angioinductive factors. Osteoconductive and angioconductive scaffold composed of components which provide the native substrate features for osteogenesis and angiogenesis. This review article also discusses the studies highlighting the synergism of physico-chemical stimuli as dual functioning feature to enhance angiogenesis and osteogenesis simultaneously. In addition, this article covers one of the least discussed area of the bone regeneration i.e. 'cartilage formation as a median between angiogenesis and osteogenesis'.
