Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent disease, characterized by subchondral fractures in its initial stages, which has no precise and specific treatment now. Here, a novel multifunctional scaffold is synthesized by photopolymerizing glycidyl methacrylate-modified hyaluronic acid (GMHA) as the matrix in the presence of hollow porous magnetic microspheres based on hydroxyapatite. In vivo subchondral bone repairing results demonstrate that the scaffold's meticulous design has most suitable properties for subchondral bone repair. The porous structure of inorganic particles within the scaffold facilitates efficient transport of loaded exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The Fe3O4 nanoparticles assembled in microspheres promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and accelerate the new bone generation. These features enable the scaffold to exhibit favorable subchondral bone repair properties and attain high cartilage repair scores. The therapy results prove that the subchondral bone support considerably influences the upper cartilage repair process. Furthermore, magnetic resonance imaging monitoring demonstrates that Fe3O4 nanoparticles, which are gradually replaced by new bone during osteochondral defect repair, allow a noninvasive and radiation-free assessment to track the newborn bone during the OA repair process. The composite hydrogel scaffold (CHS) provides a versatile platform for biomedical applications in OA treatment.

Abstract
Since antiquity, the medicinal properties of naturally sourced biomolecules such as ginger (Zingiber officinale) extract are documented in the traditional Indian and Chinese medical systems. However, limited work is performed to assess the potential of ginger extracts for bone-tissue engineering. Our work demonstrates the direct incorporation of ginger extract on iron oxide-magnesium oxide (Fe2O3 and MgO) co-doped hydroxyapatite (HA) for enhancement in the biological properties. The addition of Fe2O3 and MgO co-doping system and ginger extract with HA increases the osteoblast viability up to ~ 1.4 times at day 11. The presence of ginger extract leads to up to ~ 9 times MG-63 cell viability reduction. The co-doping does not adversely affect the release of ginger extract from the graft surface in the biological medium at pH 7.4 for up to 28 days. Assessment of antibacterial efficacy according to the modified ISO 22196: 2011 standard method indicates that the combined effects of Fe2O3, MgO, and ginger extract lead to ~ 82 % more bacterial cell reduction, compared to the control HA against S. aureus. These ginger extract-loaded artificial bone grafts with enhanced biological properties may be utilized as a localized site-specific delivery vehicle for various bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Reconstruction of critical sized bone defects in the oral and maxillofacial region continues to be clinically challenging despite the significant development of osteo-regenerative materials. Among 3D biomaterials, hydrogels and hydrogel composites have been explored for bone regeneration, however, their inferior clinical performance in comparison to autografts is mainly attributed to variable rates of degradation and lack of vascularization. In this study, we report hydrogel composite magnetic scaffolds formed from calcium carbonate, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), using PVA as matrix and calcium carbonate particles in vaterite phase as filler, to enhance the cross-linking of matrix and porosity with MNPs that can target and regulate cell signaling pathways to control cell behavior and improve the osteogenic and angiogenic potential. The physical and mechanical properties were evaluated, and cytocompatibility was investigated by culturing human osteoblast-like cells onto the scaffolds. The vaterite phase due to its higher solubility in comparison to calcium phosphates, combined with the freezing-thawing process of PVA, yielded porous scaffolds that exhibited adequate thermal stability, favorable water-absorbing capacity, excellent mineralization ability, and cytocompatibility. An increasing concentration from 1, 3, and 6 wt % MNPs in the scaffolds showed a statistically significant increase in compressive strength and modulus of the dry specimens that exhibited brittle fracture. However, the hydrated specimens were compressible and showed a slight decrease in compressive strength with 6% MNPs, although this value was higher compared to that of the scaffolds with no MNPs.

Abstract
With the aging of the global population, the incidence of musculoskeletal diseases has been increasing, seriously affecting people's health. As people age, the microenvironment within skeleton favors bone resorption and inhibits bone formation, accompanied by bone marrow fat accumulation and multiple cellular senescence. Specifically, skeletal stem/stromal cells (SSCs) during aging tend to undergo adipogenesis rather than osteogenesis. Meanwhile, osteoblasts, as well as osteocytes, showed increased apoptosis, decreased quantity, and multiple functional limitations including impaired mechanical sensing, intercellular modulation, and exosome secretion. Also, the bone resorption function of macrophage-lineage cells (including osteoclasts and preosteoclasts) was significantly enhanced, as well as impaired vascularization and innervation. In this study, we systematically reviewed the effect of aging on bone and the within microenvironment (including skeletal cells as well as their intracellular structure variations, vascular structures, innervation, marrow fat distribution, and lymphatic system) caused by aging, and mechanisms of osteoimmune regulation of the bone environment in the aging state, and the causal relationship with multiple musculoskeletal diseases in addition with their potential therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
Magnetic bioactive glass-ceramic (MGC) powders with nominal compositions of (45 - x)SiO224.5CaO24.5Na2O6P2O5xFe2O3 (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 15 wt%) have been synthesized by a sol-gel route by systematically substituting silicon dioxide with iron oxide in Hench's 45S5 glass composition. Powder X-ray diffraction studies revealed a variation in the percentage of combeite (Ca2Na2Si3O9), magnetite (Fe3O4), and hematite (Fe2O3) nanocrystalline phases in MGC powders as a function of composition. Zeta potential measurements showed that MGC containing up to 10 wt% iron oxide formed stable suspensions. The saturation magnetization and heat generation capacity of MGC fluids increased with an increase in iron oxide content. Degradation of MGC powders was investigated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The in vitro bioactivity of the MGC powders taken in pellet form was confirmed by observing the pH variation as well as hydroxyapatite layer (HAp) formation upon soaking in modified simulated body fluid. These studies showed a decrement in the overall bioactivity in samples with high iron oxide content due to the proportional decrease in the silanol group. Monitoring the proliferation of MG-63 osteoblast cells in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) revealed that MGC with up to 10 wt% iron oxide exhibited acceptable viability. The systematic study revealed that the MGC with 10 wt% iron oxide exhibited optimal cell viability, magnetic properties and induction heating capacity, which were better than those of FluidMag-CT, which is used for hyperthermia treatment.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a pathological condition characterized by an accelerated bone resorption rate, resulting in decreased bone density and increased susceptibility to fractures, particularly among the elderly population. While conventional treatments for osteoporosis have shown efficacy, they are associated with certain limitations, including limited drug bioavailability, non-specific administration, and the occurrence of adverse effects. In recent years, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for managing osteoporosis. Nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical properties, such as a small size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface characteristics, which enable them to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. These nanoparticles offer several advantages, including enhanced drug stability, controlled release kinetics, targeted bone tissue delivery, and improved drug bioavailability. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the recent advancements in nanoparticle-based therapy for osteoporosis. It elucidates the various types of nanoparticles employed in this context, including silica, polymeric, solid lipid, and metallic nanoparticles, along with their specific processing techniques and inherent properties that render them suitable as potential drug carriers for osteoporosis treatment. Furthermore, this review discusses the challenges and future suggestions associated with the development and translation of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for clinical use. These challenges encompass issues such as scalability, safety assessment, and regulatory considerations. However, despite these challenges, the utilization of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems holds immense promise in revolutionizing the field of osteoporosis management by enabling more effective and targeted therapies, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for the bone resorption process during bone remodeling. In a healthy situation, this process results from an equilibrium between new matrix formation by osteoblast and matrix resorption by osteoclast. Osteoporosis (OP) is a systemic bone disease characterized by a decreased bone mass density and alterations in bone microarchitecture, increasing fracture predisposition. Despite the variety of available therapies for OP management there is a growing gap in its treatment associated to the low patients´ adherence owing to concerns related with long-term efficacy or safety. This makes the development of new and safe treatments necessary. Among the newly developed strategies, the use of synthetic and natural nanoparticles to modulate osteoclasts differentiation, activity, apoptosis or crosstalk with osteoblasts have arisen. Synthetic nanoparticles exert their therapeutic effect either by loading antiresorptive drugs or including molecules for osteoclasts gene regulation. Moreover, this control over osteoclasts can be improved by their targeting to bone extracellular matrix or osteoclast membranes. Furthermore, natural nanoparticles, also known as extracellular vesicles, have been identified to play a key role in bone homeostasis. Consequently, these systems have been widely studied to control osteoblasts and osteoclasts under variable environments. Additionally, the ability to bioengineer extracellular vesicles has allowed to obtain biomimetic systems with desirable characteristics as drug carriers for osteoclasts. The analyzed information reveals the possibility of modulating osteoclasts by different mechanisms through nanoparticles decreasing bone resorption. These findings suggest that controlling osteoclast activity using nanoparticles has the potential to improve osteoporosis management.

Abstract
Rapidly growing interest in using nanoparticles (NPs) for biomedical applications has increased concerns about their safety and toxicity. In comparison with bulk materials, NPs are more chemically active and toxic due to the greater surface area and small size. Understanding the NPs' mechanism of toxicity, together with the factors influencing their behavior in biological environments, can help researchers to design NPs with reduced side effects and improved performance. After overviewing the classification and properties of NPs, this review article discusses their biomedical applications in molecular imaging and cell therapy, gene transfer, tissue engineering, targeted drug delivery, Anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, cancer treatment, wound healing, and anti-bacterial applications. There are different mechanisms of toxicity of NPs, and their toxicity and behaviors depend on various factors, which are elaborated on in this article. More specifically, the mechanism of toxicity and their interactions with living components are discussed by considering the impact of different physiochemical parameters such as size, shape, structure, agglomeration state, surface charge, wettability, dose, and substance type. The toxicity of polymeric, silica-based, carbon-based, and metallic-based NPs (including plasmonic alloy NPs) have been considered separately.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) is the inorganic part of hard tissues, such as bone, teeth and tendons, and has a high biocompatibility and good biodegradability. Therefore, CaP nanoparticles functionalized with DNA encoding bone anabolic factors are promising carrier-systems for future therapeutic development. Here, we analysed CaP nanoparticles in a genetically modified medaka fish model, where osteoporosis-like lesions can be induced by transgenic expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (Rankl). Rankl-transgenic medaka were used to visualize and understand effects of microinjected functionalized CaP nanoparticles during modulation of osteoclast activity in vivo. For this, we synthetized multi-shell CaP nanoparticles by rapid precipitation of calcium lactate and ammonium hydrogen phosphate followed by the addition of plasmid DNA encoding the osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor osteoprotegerin-b (Opgb). An additional layer of poly(ethyleneimine) was added to enhance cellular uptake. Integrity of the synthesized nanoparticles was confirmed by dynamic light scattering, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Fluorescently labelled CaP nanoparticles were microinjected into the heart, trunk muscle or caudal fins of Rankl-transgenic medaka embryos that expressed fluorescent reporters in various bone cell types. Confocal time-lapse imaging revealed a uniform distribution of CaP nanoparticles in injected tissues and showed that nanoparticles were efficiently taken up by macrophages that subsequently differentiated into bone-resorbing osteoclasts. After Rankl induction, fish injected with Opg-functionalized nanoparticles showed delayed or absent degradation of mineralized matrix, i.e. a lower incidence of osteoporosis-like phenotypes. This is proof of principle that CaP nanoparticles can be used as carriers to efficiently deliver modulatory compounds to osteoclasts and block their activity.

Abstract
Malignant bone tumors can inflict significant damage to affected bones, leaving patients to contend with issues like residual tumor cells, bone defects, and bacterial infections post-surgery. However, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp), the principal inorganic constituent of natural bone, possess numerous advantages such as high biocompatibility, bone conduction ability, and a large surface area. Moreover, nHAp's nanoscale particle size enables it to impede the growth of various tumor cells via diverse pathways. This article presents a comprehensive review of relevant literature spanning the past 2 decades concerning nHAp and bone tumors. The primary goal is to explore the mechanisms responsible for nHAp's ability to hinder tumor initiation and progression, as well as to investigate the potential of integrating other drugs and components for bone tumor diagnosis and treatment. Lastly, the article discusses future prospects for the development of hydroxyapatite materials as a promising modality for tumor therapy.

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.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are extensively used in bone-related studies as biomaterials due to their unique magnetic properties and good biocompatibility. Through endocytosis, IONPs enter the cell where they promote osteogenic differentiation and inhibit osteoclastogenesis. Static magnetic fields (SMFs) were also found to enhance osteoblast differentiation and hinder osteoclastic differentiation. Once IONPs are exposed to an SMF, they become rapidly magnetized. IONPs and SMFs work together to synergistically enhance the effectiveness of their individual effects on the differentiation and function of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. This article reviewed the individual and combined effects of different types of IONPs and different intensities of SMFs on bone remodeling. We also discussed the mechanism underlying the synergistic effects of IONPs and SMFs on bone remodeling.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA), an inorganic compound, plays an essential role in the proliferation and differentiation of bone cells. Using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as green dispersants to improve homogenization of HA is promising in the fabrication of nanocomposite scaffolds with biocompatibility for bone tissue engineering. The HA/CNC (HC) nanoparticle suspension was incorporated in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based scaffold to investigate the physical and chemical properties. The PVA/HC composites demonstrated high porous structure and swelling ability for cell attachment and a 3-fold improvement in compressive modulus compared with free HC scaffold. Moreover, the presence of HC nanoparticles has promoted the proliferation and mineralization of pre-osteoblast. Our findings could provide an effective strategy by using bio-dispersants to incorporate mineral elements into synthetic polymers for the fabrication of functional tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
Repairing fractures in the presence of infection is a major challenge that is currently declining using nanotechnology. By producing iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) containing hydroxyapatite and Raloxifene (R-IONPs-HA), this study tries to target drug delivery, control infection and promotion of the cells proliferation/differentiation to repair damaged tissue. After the production of R-IONPs-HA through co-precipitation, the physicochemical features of the NPs were considered by SEM, TEM, DLS and XRD methods, and the possibility of drug release. The effect of R-IONPs-HA on MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation/differentiation was determined by CCK-assay and microscopic observations. Also, Gram-negative and -positive bacteria were applied to evaluate the antibacterial activity. Finally, cell differentiation biomarkers like an ALP, OCN, and RUNX-2 genes were examined by real time (RT)-PCR. The results showed that R-IONPs-HA was spherical with dimensions of 98.1 ± 1.17 nm. In addition, the results of Zeta and XRD confirmed the loading HA and R on IONPs. Also, the release rate of R and HA in 64 h with pH 6 reached 61.4 and 30.4%, respectively. The anti-bacterial activity of R-IONPs-HA on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria showed a significant reduction in infection. Also, MC3T3-E1 cells showed greater proliferation and differentiation by R-IONPs-HA compared to other groups. Increased expression of ossification genes such as OCN, and RUNX-2 confirmed this claim. Finally, R-IONPs-HA with good biocompatibility, antibacterial activity and ossification induction has great potential to repair bone fractures and prevent infection.

Abstract
This review presents the actual state of knowledge and recent research results on the magnetic composite synthesized from iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3 or Fe3O4) and hydroxyapatite. It can be obtained applying some methods, i.e. chemical precipitation, hydrothermal, sol-gel, and biomimetic or combined techniques which exhibit characteristic properties affecting the form of the prepared product. More specific details are discussed in this paper. A comparison of the discussed synthesis methods is presented. On the basis of selected publications, a comparison of the results of the analysis by XRD, FTIR, SEM and EDX methods for hydroxyapatite with a magnetic core was also presented. Moreover, the characteristics large adsorption capacity and specific area allow employing nanocomposites as adsorbents particularly in removal of toxic metal ions. Nowadays this issue is extremely vital due to large amounts of pollutants in the environment and greater ecological awareness of people. Moreover, magnetic hydroxyapatite can be also applied as a catalyst in various syntheses or oxidation reactions as well as in medicine in magnetic resonance imaging, hyperthermia treatment, drug delivery and release, bone regeneration or cell therapy.

Abstract
It is known that iron is found as a trace element in bone tissue, the main inorganic constituent of which is hydroxyapatite. Therefore, iron-doped hydroxyapatite (HApFe) materials could be new alternatives for many biomedical applications. A facile dip coating process was used to elaborate the iron-doped hydroxyapatite (HApFe) nanocomposite coatings. The HApFe suspension used to prepare the coatings was achieved using a co-precipitation method, which was adapted in the laboratory. The quality of the HApFe suspension was assessed through dynamic light scattering (DLS), ultrasonic measurements, and zeta potential values. The hydroxyapatite XRD patterns were observed in the HApFe nanocomposite with no significant shifting of peak positions, thus suggesting that the incorporation of iron did not significantly modify the hydroxyapatite structure. The morphology of the HApFe nanoparticles was evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used in order to investigate the morphologies of HApFe particles and coatings, while their chemical compositions were assessed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The SEM results suggested that the HApFe consists mainly of spherical nanometric particles and that the surfaces of the coatings are continuous and homogeneous. Additionally, the EDS spectra highlighted the purity of the samples and confirmed the presence of calcium, phosphorous, and iron in the analyzed sample. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the HApFe suspensions and coatings was evidenced using osteoblast cells. The MTT assay showed that both the HApFe suspensions and coatings exhibited biocompatible properties.

Abstract
The second most abundant biological macromolecule, next to cellulose is Chitosan. It is a versatile naturally occurring hydrophilic polysaccharide, derived as a deacetylated form of chitin. Due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability and antimicrobial activity, it has become a significant area of research towards drug delivery system, plant growth promotion, anti-pathogenic potentiality, seed priming and in plant defense mechanism. Various synthetic strategies have been established in recent years that couples different metals with chitosan nanoparticles. Metals like silver, copper, zinc, iron and nickel are highly compatible to form chitosan metallic nanoparticles and are proved to be non-toxic to the agricultural plant system. This review highlights the mode of action of nanochitosan on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in a distinguished manner as well as its action on fungi. A prime focus has been given on the skeletal framework of the metallic nanochitosan particles. Our study also projects the antimicrobial mechanism of chitosan based on its physiochemical properties, environmental factors and the type of organism on which it acts. Moreover, the mechanism for stimulation of plant immunity by metallic nanochitosan has also been reviewed. Our study relies on the conclusion that chitosan metallic nanoparticles showed enhanced anti-pathogenic and plant growth promoting activity in comparison to bulk chitosan.

Abstract
Simple Summary Current research on nanocomposite materials with tailored physical–chemical properties is increasingly advancing in biomedical applications for bone regeneration. In this study, occurrence of differential responsiveness to dextran-grafted iron oxide (DM) nanoparticles and to their hybrid nano-hydroxyapatite (DM/n-HA) counterpart was investigated in human-derived, osteoblast-like cells. Sensitivity of cells in the presence of DMs or DM/n-HAs was evaluated in terms of cytoskeletal dynamics. Remarkably, it was shown that effects triggered by the DM are no more retained when DM is embedded onto DM/n-HA nanocomposites. In parallel, analyses on the expression of genes involved in (a) intracellular signaling pathways triggered by ligands or cell interactions with elements of the extracellular matrix, (b) modulation of processes such as cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, senescence, DNA repair, metabolism changes, and (c) iron homeostasis and absorption through cell membranes, indicated that the DM/n-HA-treated cells retain tracts of physiological responsiveness unlike DM-treated cells. Overall, a shielding effect by the n-HA was assumed (masking the DM’s cytotoxicity), and a modular biomimicry of the DM/n-HA nanocomposites. On these bases, the biocompatibility of n-HA associated to DM’s magnetic responsiveness offer a combination of structural/functional features of these nano-tools for bone tissue engineering, for finely acting within physiological ranges. Abstract The development of nanocomposites with tailored physical–chemical properties, such as nanoparticles containing magnetic iron oxides for manipulating cellular events at distance, implies exciting prospects in biomedical applications for bone tissue regeneration. In this context, this study aims to emphasize the occurrence of differential responsiveness in osteoblast-like cells to different nanocomposites with diverse features: dextran-grafted iron oxide (DM) nanoparticles and their hybrid nano-hydroxyapatite (DM/n-HA) counterpart. Here, responsiveness of cells in the presence of DMs or DM/n-HAs was evaluated in terms of cytoskeletal features. We observed that effects triggered by the DM are no more retained when DM is embedded onto the DM/n-HA nanocomposites. Also, analysis of mRNA level variations of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK), P53 and SLC11A2/DMT1 human genes showed that the DM/n-HA-treated cells retain tracts of physiological responsiveness compared to the DM-treated cells. Overall, a shielding effect by the n-HA component can be assumed, masking the DM’s cytotoxic potential, also hinting a modular biomimicry of the nanocomposites respect to the physiological responses of osteoblast-like cells. In this view, the biocompatibility of n-HA together with the magnetic responsiveness of DMs represent an optimized combination of structural with functional features of the DM/n-HA nano-tools for bone tissue engineering, for finely acting within physiological ranges.

Abstract
One of the most important ideas ever produced by the application of materials science to the medical field is the notion of biomaterials. The nanostructured biomaterials play a crucial role in the development of new treatment strategies including not only the replacement of tissues and organs, but also repair and regeneration. They are designed to interact with damaged or injured tissues to induce regeneration, or as a forest for the production of laboratory tissues, so they must be micro-environmentally sensitive. The existing materials have many limitations, including impaired cell attachment, proliferation, and toxicity. Nanotechnology may open new avenues to bone tissue engineering by forming new assemblies similar in size and shape to the existing hierarchical bone structure. Organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials are increasingly used for bone tissue engineering applications because they may allow to overcome some of the current restrictions entailed by bone regeneration methods. This review covers the applications of different organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials in the field of hard tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this study, HAP/ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite has been synthesized in two simple steps. The different characterization techniques confirm the fabrication of HAP/ZnFe2O4 magnetic binary nanocomposite. The composite was successfully applied as nanoadsorbent for the elimination of Cd(II) ions from its aqueous solution. The composite was able to remove 89.6% of Cd(II) ions under optimum experimental conditions. The equilibrium sorption data were very much in agreement with the Freundlich adsorption model, and the maximum sorption capacity was recorded to be 120.33 mg/g. Kinetic data of the cadmium ion removal was well concurrent with the pseudo-second-order kinetics rate model. This magnetic HAP/ZnFe2O4 nanocomposite can be applied as an environmentally friendly, low-cost, productive sorbent for the evacuation of Cd(II) ions from wastewater in light of its high sorption capacity.

Abstract
Bone defects and diseases are devastating, and can lead to severe functional deficits or even permanent disability. Nevertheless, orthopedic implants and scaffolds can facilitate the growth of incipient bone and help us to treat bone defects and diseases. Currently, a wide range of biomaterials with distinct biocompatibility, biodegradability, porosity, and mechanical strength is used in bone-related research. However, most orthopedic implants and scaffolds have certain limitations and diverse complications, such as limited corrosion resistance, low cell proliferation, and bacterial adhesion. With recent advancements in materials science and nanotechnology, metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles have become the subject of significant interest as they offer an ample variety of options to resolve the existing problems in the orthopedic industry. More importantly, these nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical and mechanical properties not found in conventional materials, and can be incorporated into orthopedic implants and scaffolds to enhance their antimicrobial ability, bioactive molecular delivery, mechanical strength, osteointegration, and cell labeling and imaging. However, many metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles can also be toxic to nearby cells and tissues. This review article will discuss the applications and functions of metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The craniofacial region is anatomically complex and is of critical functional and cosmetic importance, making reconstruction challenging. The limitations of current surgical options highlight the importance of developing new strategies to restore the form, function, and esthetics of missing or damaged soft tissue and skeletal tissue in the face and cranium. Regenerative medicine (RM) is an expanding field which combines the principles of tissue engineering (TE) and self-healing in the regeneration of cells, tissues, and organs, to restore their impaired function. RM offers many advantages over current treatments as tissue can be engineered for specific defects, using an unlimited supply of bioengineered resources, and does not require immunosuppression. In the craniofacial region, TE and RM are being increasingly used in preclinical and clinical studies to reconstruct bone, cartilage, soft tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. This review outlines the current progress that has been made toward the engineering of these tissues for craniofacial reconstruction and facial esthetics.

Abstract
Introduction: Current treatments for osteogenic disorders are often successful, however they are not free of drawbacks, such as toxicity or side effects. Nanotechnology offers a platform for drug delivery in the treatment of bone disorders, which can overcome such limitations. Nevertheless, traditional synthesis of nanomaterials presents environmental and health concerns due to its production of toxic by-products, the need for extreme and harsh raw materials, and their lack of biocompatibility over time.Areas covered: This review article contains an overview of the current status of treating osteogenic disorders employing green nanotechnological approaches, showing some of the latest advances in the application of green nanomaterials, as drug delivery carriers, for the effective treatment of osteogenic disorders.Expert opinion: Green nanotechnology, as a potential solution, is understood as the use of living organisms, biomolecules and environmentally friendly processes for the production of nanomaterials. Nanomaterials derived from bacterial cultures or biomolecules isolated from living organisms, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids, have been proven to be effective composites. These nanomaterials introduce enhancements in the treatment and prevention of osteogenic disorders, compared to physiochemically-synthesized nanostructures, specifically in terms of their improved cell attachment and proliferation, as well as their ability to prevent bacterial adhesion.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defect after bone tumor resection is a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons. It should consider that not only to inhibit tumor growth and recurrence, but also to repair the defect and preserve the limb function. Hence, it is necessary to find an ideal functional biomaterial that can repair bone defects and inactivate tumor. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have its unique advantages to achieve targeted hyperthermia to avoid damage to surrounding normal tissues and promote osteoblastic activity and bone formation. Based on the previous stage, we successfully prepared hydroxyapatite (HAP) composite poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds and verified its good osteogenic properties, in this study, we produced an HAP composite PLGA scaffolds modified with MNPs. The composite scaffold showed appropriate porosity and mechanical characteristics, while MNPs possessed excellent magnetic and thermal properties. The cytological assay indicated that the MNPs have antitumor ability and the composite scaffold possessed good biocompatibility. In vivo bone defect repair experiment revealed that the composite scaffold had good osteogenic capacity. Hence, we could demonstrate that the composite scaffolds have a good effect in bone repair, which could provide a potential approach for repairing bone defect after bone tumor excision.

Abstract
Bone and osteochondral defects represent one of the major causes of disabilities in the world. Derived from traumas and degenerative pathologies, these lesions cause severe pain, joint deformity, and loss of joint motion. The standard treatments in clinical practice present several limitations. By producing functional substitutes for damaged tissues, tissue engineering has emerged as an alternative in the treatment of defects in the skeletal system. Despite promising preliminary clinical outcomes, several limitations remain. Nanotechnologies could offer new solutions to overcome those limitations, generating materials more closely mimicking the structures present in naturally occurring systems. Nanostructures comparable in size to those appearing in natural bone and cartilage have thus become relevant in skeletal tissue engineering. In particular, nanoparticles allow for a unique combination of approaches (e.g. cell labelling, scaffold modification or drug and gene delivery) inside single integrated systems for optimized tissue regeneration. In the present review, the main types of nanoparticles and the current strategies for their application to skeletal tissue engineering are described. The collection of studies herein considered confirms that advanced nanomaterials will be determinant in the design of regenerative therapeutic protocols for skeletal lesions in the future.

Abstract
Minimally invasive surgery will be gradually applied to the surgical treatment of bone tumors. One of the difficulties in the minimally invasive treatment of bone tumors is the lack of injectable materials that can be used to treat tumor-induced bone defects. Therefore, it is imperative to develop an injectable bone filler that can not only be injected into the defect site by minimally invasive methods to provide strong support and repair bone tissue but also inactivate residual tumor cells around the defect. To achieve this aim, in our study, for the first time, we doped Fe3O4/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites into α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP)/calcium sulfate (CS) biphasic bone cement to prepare an injectable magnetic bone cement (α-TCP/CS/Fe3O4/GO, αCFG), which can be applied in bone tumor minimally invasive surgery and fit ideally even if the area is irregular. The magnetothermal performance of the αCFG bone cement could be well adjusted by altering the content of Fe3O4/GO nanocomposites and the magnetic field parameters, but a 10 wt % Fe3O4/GO content formed the most stable bone cement with excellent magnetothermal performance. The αCFG bone cement not only promotes bone regeneration but also exhibits enhanced tumor treatment effects. Such multifunctional bone cement could provide a promising clinical strategy for the minimally invasive treatment of tumor-induced bone destruction.

Abstract
Aim: Magnetic hyperthermia is limited by the low selective susceptibility of neoplastic cells interspersed within healthy tissues, which we aim to improve on. Materials & methods: Two superparamagnetic calcium phosphates nanocomposites, that is, iron-doped hydroxyapatite and iron oxide (Mag) nanoparticles coated with amorphous calcium phosphate (Mag@CaP), were synthesized and tested for selective activity against brain and bone cancers. Results: Nanoparticle uptake and intracellular localization were prerequisites for reduction of cancer viability in alternate magnetic fields of extremely low power. Sheer adsorption onto the outer membrane was not sufficient to produce this effect, which was extremely significant for Mag@CaP and iron-doped hydroxyapatite, but negligible for Mag, demonstrating benefits of combining magnetic iron with calcium phosphates. Conclusion: Such selective effects are important in the global effort to rejuvenate clinical prospects of magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
Nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) is supposed to be a promising candidate for apatite substitute in hard tissue engineering. We aimed to investigate the effect of nano-HAP particles on the proliferation of odontoblast-like MDPC-23 cells compared with conventional hydroxyapatite (c-HAP). HAP in diameter of ~20 nm (np20), ~70 nm (np70) and ~200 nm (c-HAP) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Inverted microscope and MTT assay were used to detect the morphology and proliferation rate of MDPC-23 cells; TEM was used to reveal the internalization of HAP. We found that nano-HAP (np20 and np70), especially np20 expressed obvious growth-promoting effect on MDPC-23 cells compared with c-HAP, which caused the most vacuole in MDPC-23 cells. These results suggest that nano-HAP may be an optimal choice of apatite substitute for MDPC-23 cells on the aspect of cell proliferation.

Osteoblast responses to injectable bone substitutes of kappa-carrageenan and nano hydroxyapatite. Acta Biomater 2019; 83:425-434.

Abstract
The combination of kappa-carrageenan (κ-CG) and hydroxyapatite (HA) to generate a bone substitute material has been underexplored to date. Carrageenans (CGs) have remarkable characteristics such as biocompatibility, hydrophilicity, and structural similarities with natural glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and they have demonstrated the ability to stimulate cellular adhesion and proliferation. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been one of the most investigated materials for bone regeneration due to their excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteoconductivity. In particular, this study presents an approach for the preparation of new bioactive composites of κ-CG/nHA for numerous bone regeneration applications. We performed a set of in vitro experiments to evaluate the influence of the bone substitutes on human osteoblasts. Cell culture studies indicated that all samples tested were cytocompatible. Relative to control substrates, cellular attachment and proliferation were better on all the scaffold surfaces that were tested. The S2 and S3 samples, those permeated by 1.5 and 2.5 wt% of CG, respectively, exhibited an enhancement in cell spreading capacity compared to the S1 test materials which were comprised of 1 wt% of CG. Excellent osteoblast viability and adhesion were observed for each of the tested materials. Additionally, the bone substitutes developed for this study presented a distinct osteoconductive environment. Data supporting this claim were derived from alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and calcium deposition analyses, which indicated that, compared to the control species, ALP expression and calcium deposition were both improved on test κ-CG/nHA surfaces. In summary, the injectable bone substitute developed here demonstrated great potential for numerous bone regeneration applications, and thus, should be studied further. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The novelty of this work lies in the determination of the in vitro cytocompatibility behavior of carrageenan and hydroxyapatite composite materials used as injectable bone substitutes. This injectable biomaterial can fill in geometric complex defects, and it displays bioactivity as well as high bone regeneration capacity. In this study, we evaluated the behaviors of osteoblast cells in contact with the scaffolds, including cellular adhesion and proliferation, cellular metabolism, and mineralization on the fabricated injectable bone substitutes. The results show than the carrageenan and hydroxyapatite substitutes provided a biomaterial with a great capacity for promoting cellular growth, adhesion, and proliferation, as well as contributing an osteoinductive environment for osteoblast differentiation and osteogenesis.

After 1 year, 10 teeth were extracted for histological evaluation under field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM; ZEISS, Model No. Supra 55vp). Results Of the samples, 98% showed clinical success rate with absence of pain, swelling, mobility, and abscess formation. After 3 months, 98% radiological success with absence of periodontal ligament widening, root resorption, and inter-radicular radiolucency was noted. Histological examination carried out under FE-SEM revealed a zone of odontoblastic proliferation at the interface between MNPs and odontoblastic layer of pulp and viable pulpal cells from the canal orifice till apical foramen. Conclusion Magnetic nanoparticles can be recommended as an effective pulpotomy medicament with hard tissue barrier formation and preservation of vitality of remaining radicular pulp.

Abstract
A successful post-surgical implant is associated with accelerated recovery periods, involving the efficient regeneration of lost or non-viable tissue and a reduction in microbial growth. Alternatively, the long-term success of an implant is guided by the selection of an engineered biomimetic material that is biocompatible, non-biodegradable, and stable at the site of implantation, without invoking any non-essential or undesirable biological responses. The potential for developing an injectable bone substitute (IBS) was investigated here. In particular, carrageenan (CG) and nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) injectable composites were fabricated by chemical cross-linking, and the in vitro behavior of mammalian cells and bacteria on the IBS surface structures were evaluated. Formulations consisting of 1%, 1.5%, and 2.5% CG and 60% nHA by weight were then evaluated for their interactions with human osteoblasts (or bone forming cells). MTS viability testing indicated that osteoblast adhesion and viability on the IBS were excellent and uniform among various formulation types. Bacteria assays were also performed to assess antimicrobial functions on the CG/nHA composite against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains. A higher CG content, as found in some samples, correlated with improved Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth inhibition, although other bacteria strains appeared unaffected by the IBS. In summary, this study highlights CG/nHA composites as innovative biomaterials that should be further studied for reduced bacteria activity and promoted osteoblast responses which was achieved without using pharmaceutical drugs. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Bone defects/fractures are common in older people suffering from osteoporosis. Traditional hydroxyapatite (HA) materials for osteoporotic bone repair face many challenges, including limited bone formation and aseptic loosening of orthopedic implants. In this study, a new multifunctional HA is synthesized by spontaneous assembly of alendronate (AL) and Fe3O4 onto HA nanocrystals for osteoporotic bone regeneration. The chemical coordination of AL and Fe3O4 with HA does not induce lattice deformation, resulting in a functionalized HA (Func-HA) with proper magnetic property and controlled release manner. The Func-HA nanocrystals have been encapsulated in polymer substrates to further investigate their osteogenic capability. In vitro and in vivo evaluations reveal that both AL and Fe3O4, especially the combination of two functional groups on HA, can inhibit osteoclastic activity and promote osteoblast proliferation and differentiation, as well as enhance implant osseointegration and accelerate bone remodeling under osteoporotic condition. The as-developed Func-HA with coordinating antiresorptive ability, magnetic property, and osteoconductivity might be a desirable biomaterial for osteoporotic bone defect/fracture treatment.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing using selective laser melted titanium (SLM-Ti) is used to create bespoke items across many diverse fields such as medicine, defense, and aerospace. Despite great progress in orthopedic implant applications, such as for "just in time" implants, significant challenges remain with regards to material osseointegration and the susceptibility to bacterial colonization on the implant. Here, we show that polycrystalline diamond coatings on these titanium samples can enhance biological scaffold interaction improving medical implant applicability. The highly conformable coating exhibited excellent bonding to the substrate. Relative to uncoated SLM-Ti, the diamond coated samples showed enhanced mammalian cell growth, enriched apatite deposition, and reduced microbial S. aureus activity. These results open new opportunities for novel coatings on SLM-Ti devices in general and especially show promise for improved biomedical implants.

Abstract
The healing of load-bearing segmental defects in long bones is a challenge due to the complex nature of the weight that affects the bone part and due to bending, shearing, axial, and torsional forces. An innovative porous 3D scaffolds implant of CaCO3 aragonite nanocomposite derived from cockle shell was advanced for substitute bone solely for load-bearing cases. The biomechanical characteristics of such materials were designed to withstand cortical bone strength. In promoting bone growth to the implant material, an ideal surface permeability was formed by means of freeze drying and by adding copolymers to the materials. The properties of coating and copolymers supplement were also assessed for bone-implant connection resolutions. To examine the properties of the material in advanced biological system, an experimental trial in an animal model was carried out. Critical sized defect of bone was created in rabbit's radial bone to assess the material for a load-bearing application with a short and extended period assessment with histological evaluation of the incorporated implanted material to the bone of the host. Trials in animal models proved that the material has the capability of enduring load-bearing conditions for long-term use devoid of breaking or generating stress that affects the host bone. Histological examination further confirmed the improved integration of the implanted materials to the host bone with profound bone development into and also above the implanted scaffold, which was attained with negligible reaction of the tissues to a foreign implanted material.

Abstract
Targeting cancer cells without injuring normal cells is the prime objective in treatment of cancer. In this present study, solvothermal and wet chemical precipitation techniques were employed to synthesize iron oxide (IO), hydroxyapatite (HAp), and hydroxyapatite coated iron oxide (IO-HAp) nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia mediated cancer therapy. The synthesized well dispersed spherical IO-HAp nanoparticles, magnetite, and apatite phases were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The non-toxic behavior of synthesized IO-HAp nanoparticles was confirmed by cytotoxicity assay (Trypan blue and MTT assay). The synthesized nanoparticles revealed a remarkable magnetic saturation of 83.2 emu/g for IO and 40.6 emu/g for IO-HAp nanoparticles in presence of 15,000 Oe (1.5 T) magnetic field at room temperature (300 K). The magnetic hyperthermia study that was performed with IO-HAp nanoparticles showed an excellent hyperthermia effect (SAR value 85 W/g) over MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. The in vitro hyperthermia temperature (~45 °C) was reached within 3 min, which shows a very high efficiency and kills nearly all of the experimental MG-63 osteosarcoma cells within 30 min exposure. These results could potentially open new perceptions for biomaterials that are aimed for anti-cancer therapies based on magnetic hyperthermia.

Abstract
Through this brief review, we provide a comprehensive historical background of the development of nanostructured hydroxyapatite (nHAp), and its application potentials for controlled drug delivery, drug conjugation, and other biomedical treatments. Aspects associated with efficient utilization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanostructures such as their synthesis, interaction with drug molecules, and other concerns, which need to be resolved before they could be used as a potential drug carrier in body system, are discussed. This review focuses on the evolution of perceptions, practices, and accomplishments in providing improved delivery systems for drugs until date. The pioneering developments that have presaged today's fascinating state of the art drug delivery systems based on HAp and HAp-based composite nanostructures are also discussed. Special emphasis has been given to describe the application and effectiveness of modified HAp as drug carrier agent for different diseases such as bone-related disorders, carriers for antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, carcinogenic drugs, medical imaging, and protein delivery agents. As only a very few published works made comprehensive evaluation of HAp nanostructures for drug delivery applications, we try to cover the three major areas: concepts, practices and achievements, and applications, which have been consolidated and patented for their practical usage. The review covers a broad spectrum of nHAp and HAp modified inorganic drug carriers, emphasizing some of their specific aspects those needed to be considered for future drug delivery applications. This article is categorized under: Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Respiratory Disease Nanotechnology Approaches to Biology > Cells at the Nanoscale.

Abstract
In this review, specific attention is paid to the development of nanostructured magnetic hydroxyapatite (MHAp) and its potential application in controlled drug/gene delivery, tissue engineering, magnetic hyperthermia treatment, and the development of contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. Both magnetite and hydroxyapatite materials have excellent prospects in nanomedicine with multifunctional therapeutic approaches. To date, many research articles have focused on biomedical applications of nanomaterials because of which it is very difficult to focus on any particular type of nanomaterial. This study is possibly the first effort to emphasize on the comprehensive assessment of MHAp nanostructures for biomedical applications supported with very recent experimental studies. From basic concepts to the real-life applications, the relevant characteristics of magnetic biomaterials are patented which are briefly discussed. The potential therapeutic and diagnostic ability of MHAp-nanostructured materials make them an ideal platform for future nanomedicine. We hope that this advanced review will provide a better understanding of MHAp and its important features to utilize it as a promising material for multifunctional biomedical applications.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP: Ca10 (PO4)6 (OH)2) is extensively used in biomedical field because of its biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and non‐toxicity properties. However, HAP exhibits poor mechanical strength and bacterial restriction behavior. To overcome these drawbacks, various metal ions such as Ag+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Ti4+ and Ce4+/3+ are incorporated in HAP matrix to increase the mechanical and biological properties. Among these, Cerium (Ce) is selected as antibacterial agent due to its high thermal stability and its applications in dental fillings, bone healing and catheters. Fe3 O4 nanoparticles were used in hyperthermia treatment, magnetic fluid recordings and catalysis. In this present study, we have synthesized nanocomposites consisting of 1.25% Ce doped HAP with various concentrations of Fe3 O4 NPs as 90:10 (C‐1), 70:30 (C‐2) and 50:50 wt% (C‐3) using ball milling technique. The obtained Ce@HAP‐Fe3 O4 nanocomposites were characterized by ATR‐FTIR, XRD, VSM, SEM‐EDAX and TEM analysis. Further, the fabricated Ce@HAP‐Fe3 O4 nanocomposites were tested for its antibacterial activity towards Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E.coli), where C‐3 composites exhibit the excellent pathogen inhibition towards E.coli. In addition, the cytotoxicity evaluation on C‐3 nanocomposites by in vitro biocompatibility study using MG‐63 cells shows the prominent viable cell enhancement up to 400µg/mL concentrations.
