Bovine hydroxyapatite/3Y-TZP bioceramic: Aligning 3Y-TZP content with sintering parameters. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 156:106569. [PMID: 38776741 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106569] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
This study aimed to produces and characterize bovine hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramic with 3Y-TZP addition and analyze different sintering curves. HA was extracted from bovine bones and nanoparticulated. HA discs (0, 1, 5 and 10 wt% 3Y-TZP) were subjected to uniaxial and isostatic pressing. Dilatometry analysis was performed and the groups were sintered using 3 different firing curves (conventional, 1300 °C; 2-step, 1292 °C; 2-step, 1420 °C). The samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), biaxial flexural strength (BFS), Vickers microhardness (VH) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The dilatometry results signaled the need for sintering optimization in groups added with 3Y-TZP. XRD demonstrated the characteristic crystallographic peaks of HA in the pure groups and with 1% 3Y-TZP, and decomposition of HA into β-TCP and formation of calcium zirconate in the groups with 5 and 10% 3Y-TZP. Considering each composition, the groups of pure HA (131.3 ± 13.5 MPa; 401 ± 12.7 GPa) sintered by the conventional curve and HA+1%3Y-TZP (145 ± 8.6 MPa; 507 ± 47.9 GPa), HA+5%3Y-TZP (68.1 ± 14.2 MPa; 183 ± 9.8 GPa) and HA+10%3Y-TZP (55.6 ± 5.1 MPa; 96.1 ± 7.64 GPa) sintered by the 2-step curve at 1420 °C, combined the best BFS and VH results. The addition of 1 wt% 3Y-TZP and optimization in the sintering process improved the mechanical and microstructural properties of HA bioceramics and maintenance of its crystalline characteristics. Refinement in material processing is necessary for the future use of this bioceramic in dentistry.

Abstract
This research aimed to engineer magnetic hydroxyapatite-coated iron-chromium (HAp-FeCr) microspheres to enhance dental surface polishing and plaque elimination. Utilizing a tailored sol-gel approach, the HAp-FeCr microspheres were synthesized and exhaustively characterized via scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, ζ-potential, X-ray diffractometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy methodologies. Key findings showcased that these microspheres retained their magnetic properties post-HAp coating, as evidenced by the magnetization curves. An innovative magnetic polishing system was developed, incorporating these microspheres and a 2000 rpm magnet. Comparative evaluations between traditional air-powder polishing and the proposed magnetic technique demonstrated the latter's superiority. Notably, the magnetic polishing led to a substantial reduction in dental plaque on the tooth surface, decreasing bacterial adhesion and early biofilm formation by Streptococcus gordonii and Lactobacillus acidophilus, where the most pronounced effects were observed in samples with elevated HAp content. A significant 60% reduction in dental plaque was achieved with the magnetic method relative to air-powder polishing. Furthermore, the HAp-FeCr microspheres' biocompatibility was verified through cytotoxicity tests and animal studies. In essence, the magnetic HAp-FeCr microspheres present a novel and efficient strategy for dental treatments, holding immense potential for improving oral health.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Regenerative dentistry aims to regenerate the pulp-dentin complex and restore those of its functions that have become compromised by pulp injury and/or inflammation. Scaffold-based techniques are a regeneration strategy that replicate a biological environment by utilizing a suitable scaffold, which is considered crucial for the successful regeneration of dental pulp. The aim of the present review is to address the main characteristics of the different scaffolds, as well as their application in dentin-pulp complex regeneration. Materials and Methods: A narrative review was conducted by two independent reviewers to answer the research question: What type of scaffolds can be used in dentin-pulp complex regeneration? An electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases was undertaken. Keywords including "pulp-dentin regeneration scaffold" and "pulp-dentin complex regeneration" were used. To locate additional reports, reference mining of the identified papers was undertaken. Results: A wide variety of biomaterials is already available for tissue engineering and can be broadly categorized into two groups: (i) natural, and (ii) synthetic, scaffolds. Natural scaffolds often contain bioactive molecules, growth factors, and signaling cues that can positively influence cell behavior. These signaling molecules can promote specific cellular responses, such as cell proliferation and differentiation, crucial for effective tissue regeneration. Synthetic scaffolds offer flexibility in design and can be tailored to meet specific requirements, such as size, shape, and mechanical properties. Moreover, they can be functionalized with bioactive molecules, growth factors, or signaling cues to enhance their biological properties and the manufacturing process can be standardized, ensuring consistent quality for widespread clinical use. Conclusions: There is still a lack of evidence to determine the optimal scaffold composition that meets the specific requirements and complexities needed for effectively promoting dental pulp tissue engineering and achieving successful clinical outcomes.

Abstract
The journey of ceramics in medicine has been synchronized with an evolution from the first generation-alumina, zirconia, etc.-to the third -3D scaffolds. There is an up-and-coming member called oxygen-deficient or colored bioceramics, which have recently found their way through biomedical applications. The oxygen vacancy steers the light absorption toward visible and near infrared regions, making the colored bioceramics multifunctional-therapeutic, diagnostic, and regenerative. Oxygen-deficient bioceramics are capable of turning light into heat and reactive oxygen species for photothermal and photodynamic therapies, respectively, and concomitantly yield infrared and photoacoustic images. Different types of oxygen-deficient bioceramics have been recently developed through various synthesis routes. Some of them like TiO2- x , MoO3- x , and WOx have been more investigated for biomedical applications, whereas the rest have yet to be scrutinized. The most prominent advantage of these bioceramics over the other biomaterials is their multifunctionality endowed with a change in the microstructure. There are some challenges ahead of this category discussed at the end of the present review. By shedding light on this recently born bioceramics subcategory, it is believed that the field will undergo a big step further as these platforms are naturally multifunctional.

Abstract
Biomaterials based on hydroxyapatite with controllable composition and properties are promising in the field of regenerative bone replacement. One approach to regulate the phase composition of the materials is the introduction of biopolymer-based additives into the synthesis process. The purpose of present study was to investigate the formation of hydroxyapatite-based hybrid materials in the presence of 6-24% platelet-poor plasma (PPP) additive, at a [Ca2+]/[PO43-] ratio of 1.67, pH 11, and varying maturing time from 4 to 9 days. The mineral component of the materials comprised 53% hydroxyapatite/47% amorphous calcium phosphate after 4 days of maturation and 100% hydroxyapatite after 9 days of maturation. Varying the PPP content between 6% and 24% brought about the formation of materials with rather defined contents of amorphous calcium phosphate and biopolymer component and the desired morphology, ranging from typical apatitic conglomerates to hybrid apatite-biopolymer fibers. The co-precipitated hybrid materials based on hydroxyapatite, amorphous calcium phosphate, and PPP additive exhibited increased solubility in SBF solution, which defines their applicability for repairing rhinoplastic defects.

Properties of Coatings Based on Calcium Phosphate and Their Effect on Cytocompatibility and Bioactivity of Titanium Nickelide. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:2581.

Abstract
Coatings based on calcium phosphate with thicknesses of 0.5 and 2 μm were obtained by high-frequency magnetron sputtering on NiTi substrates in an argon atmosphere. The coating was characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and in vitro cytocompatibility and bioactivity studies. A biphasic coating of tricalcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) and hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) with a 100% degree of crystallinity was formed on the surface. The layer enriched in calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen was observed using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface structure is homogeneous without visible defects. The 2 µm thick coating obtained by sputtering with a deposition time of 4 h and a deposition rate of 0.43 µm/h is uniform, contains the highest amount of the calcium phosphate phase, and is most suitable for the faster growth of cells and accelerated formation of apatite layers. Samples with calcium phosphate coatings do not cause hemolysis and have a low cytotoxicity index. The results of immersion in a solution simulating body fluid show that NiTi with the biphasic coating promotes apatite growth, which is beneficial for biological activity.

Abstract
This paper reports the preparation and characterization of hybrid scaffolds composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) and different graphene oxide (GO) amounts, intending to incorporate the intrinsic characteristics of their constituents, such as bioactivity and biocidal effect. These materials were fabricated by a solvent-casting/particulate leaching technique showing a bimodal porosity (macro and micro) that was around 90%. The highly interconnected scaffolds were immersed in a simulated body fluid, promoting the growth of a hydroxyapatite (HAp) layer, making them ideal candidates for bone tissue engineering. The growth kinetics of the HAp layer was influenced by the GO content, a remarkable result. Furthermore, as expected, the addition of GO neither significantly improves nor reduces the compressive modulus of PCL scaffolds. The thermal behavior of composites was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, showing an increase in crystallinity as the addition of GO raised, which implies that GO nanosheets can act as seeds to induce the crystallization of PCL. The improved bioactivity was demonstrated by the deposition of an HAp layer on the surface of the scaffold with GO, especially with a 0.1% GO content.

Abstract
This manuscript presented the synthesis and characterization of two new N- and C-modified analogues of VV-hemorphin-7 containing RGD (Arg-Gly-Asp) residues as potential nociceptive agents and bioactive materials. It has been shown that the addition of one or two RGD sequences to natural VV-hemorphin-7 increases its effect on acute nociception, but the reduction of the inflammatory phase depends on the concentration of the peptide. The structure-property relationship of the new peptide derivatives was highlighted by electrochemical and FT-IR methods of analysis. Because of the proven bone-structural bonds of hydroxyapatite, the simultaneous deposition of peptide/hydroxyapatite on the surface of a titanium surface was investigated. The deposition was performed in a medium of gelatin solution containing dissolved amounts of peptide and hydroxyapatite using ultrasound. SEM-EDS analyzes confirmed the presence of a layer of the studied system.

Abstract
This research work focuses on the fabrication and study of a series of nanocomposites consisting of two types of hydroxyapatite (HA), obtained by precipitate (HAP) and sol-gel (HAG) methods, and a boro-silico-phosphate bioglass. The microstructure and chemical, mechanical, and biological properties as functions of three factors, namely (i) the type of hydroxyapatite, (ii) glass content, and (iii) sintering temperature, were investigated. It was found that all of these factors affect the final composition and microstructure, especially, porosity, which shows significantly lower values for HAP-based composites than for HAG-based ones and higher values for higher glass content. This, in turn, has an impact on the microhardness, which exhibits a strong correlation with porosity, as well as on the mineralization capability and cell viability due to the different dissolution rate.

Abstract
Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) is used as a bone substitute and bone tissue repair material due to its better control over bioactivity and biodegradability. It is crucial to stabilize the implanted biomaterial while promoting bone ingrowth. However, a lack of standard experimental and theoretical protocols to characterize the physicochemical properties of BCP limits the optimization of its composition and properties. Computational simulations can help us better to learn BCP at a nanoscale level. Here, the Voronoi tessellation method was combined with simulated annealing molecular dynamics to construct BCP nanoparticle models of different sizes, which were used to understand the physicochemical properties of BCP (e.g., melting point, infrared spectrum, and mechanical properties). We observed a ∼20 to 30 Å layer of calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite at the HAP/β-TCP interface due to particle migration, which may contribute to BCP stability. The BCP model may stimulate further research into BCP ceramics and multiphasic ceramics. Moreover, our study may facilitate the optimization of compositions of BCP-based biomaterials.

Abstract
Phosphates are the dominant phosphorus (P) source on Earth. The phosphates govern available P in soil, or even the complete ecosystem. The common deficiency of available P in carbonate-enriched soils suggests the tight correlation between P and C biogeochemistry, although the two elements have diverse abundance in soil. The influences of carbonates on P cycle were reviewed in this study, via both abiotic and biotic pathways. The abiotic processes at geochemical scale include element release, transport, sorption, desorption, weathering, precipitation, etc. The sorption of P on carbonate and buffering ability of carbonates were particularly addressed. Biotic factors are ascribed to various microorganisms in soil. As the most active P pool in soil, microorganisms prefer to consume abundant P, and then accumulate it in their biomass. Carbonates, however, are usually utilized by microorganisms after conversion to organic C. Meanwhile, extracellular precipitation of Ca-P phases significantly regulates the transportation of P in/out the cells. Moreover, they boost and complexify both carbonates and P turnover in soil via bioweathering and biomineralization, i.e., the intense interactions between biosphere and lithosphere. Based on this review, we proposed that carbonates may negatively affect P supply in soil system. This comprehensive review regarding the regulation by carbonates on P biogeochemistry would shed a light on predicting long-term P availability influenced by C biogeochemistry.

Abstract
Traumatic, tumoral, and infectious bone defects are common in clinics, and create a big burden on patient's families and society. Calcium phosphate (CaP)-based biomaterials have superior properties and have been widely used for bone defect repair, due to their similarities to the inorganic components of human bones. The biological performance of CaPs, as a determining factor for their applications, are dependent on their physicochemical properties. Hydroxyapatite (HAP) as the most thermally stable crystalline phase of CaP is mostly used in the form of ceramics or composites scaffolds with polymers. Nanostructured CaPs with large surface areas are suitable for drug/gene delivery systems. Additionally, CaP scaffolds with hierarchical nano-/microstructures have demonstrated excellent ability in promoting bone regeneration. This review focuses on the relationships and interactions between the physicochemical/biological properties of CaP biomaterials and their species, sizes, and morphologies in bone regeneration, including synthesis strategies, structure control, biological behavior, and the mechanisms of CaP in promoting osteogenesis. This review will be helpful for scientists and engineers to further understand CaP-based biomaterials (CaPs), and be useful in developing new high-performance biomaterials for bone repair.

Abstract
β-tricalcium phosphate is a promising bone graft substitute material with biocompatibility and high osteoinductivity. However, research on the ideal degradation and absorption for better clinical application remains a challenge. Now, we focus on modifying physicochemical properties and improving biological properties through essential ion co-substitution (Fe and Sr) in β-TCPs. Fe- and Sr-substituted and Fe/Sr co-substituted β-TCP were synthesized by aqueous co-precipitation with substitution levels ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 mol%. The β-TCP phase was detected by X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Changes in Ca–O and P–O bond lengths of the co-substituted samples were observed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results of VSM represent the M-H graph having a combination of diamagnetic and ferromagnetic properties. A TRIS–HCl solution immersion test showed that the degradation and resorption functions act synergistically on the surface of the co-substituted sample. Cell adhesion tests demonstrated that Fe enhances the initial adhesion and proliferation behavior of hDPSCs. The present work suggests that Fe and Sr co-substitution in β-TCP can be a candidate for promising bone graft materials in tissue engineering fields. In addition, the possibility of application of hyperthermia for cancer treatment can be expected.

Abstract
Recently, calcium phosphate/montmorillonite composites have received attention as a synthetic bone substitutes. In this study, apatitic calcium phosphate/Montmorillonite nano-biocomposites were in-situ synthesized at 22 °C by reaction between calcium hydroxide and orthophosphoric acid in the presence of different contents of montmorillonite (MNa). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas were used to characterize the prepared powders. The XRD results show that the composites prepared with 2 and 5 wt% MNa and sintered at 900 °C, show the formation of hydroxyapatite (HAP) structure, whereas that prepared with 10 wt% MNa leads to the formation of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) structure. The HAP structure decomposes at 1000 °C and leads to the formation of biocomposite containing HAP, β and α-TCP. However, β-TCP composites show thermal stability. FTIR and structural refinement results show the incorporation of clay ions into the apatitic structure causing changes in the crystal structure of the formed calcium phosphate phases. The changes in the composition and structure lead to an increase in the dissolution rate of HAP and a decrease in that of β-TCP.

Abstract
In-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were used to study the stabilities, thermal expansion and vibrational modes of synthetic Mg3(PO4)2. The polymorphs (Mg3(PO4)2-I, II, III) were investigated in the temperature range of 299 ∼ 1173 K at ambient pressure. An irreversible phase transition was observed for both Mg3(PO4)2-II and Mg3(PO4)2-III, whereas Mg3(PO4)2-I is stable in the present study. Based on the in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic measurements, Mg3(PO4)2-II and Mg3(PO4)2-III transform to Mg3(PO4)2-I at 1073 K and 1023 K, respectively. The volumetric thermal expansion coefficients of Mg3(PO4)2-I, II and III were determined as 3.31(4) × 10-5 K-1, 3.91(4) × 10-5 K-1, and 3.25(5) × 10-5 K-1, respectively. All three Mg3(PO4)2 polymorphs show axial thermal expansive anisotropy since the thermal expansion coefficients along different axes are inconsistent. The effect of temperature on the Raman vibrations of the three Mg3(PO4)2 polymorphs was quantitatively analyzed. And the isobaric mode Grüneisen parameters of three Mg3(PO4)2 polymorphs are calculated, which are in the range of 0.07 ∼ 3.54.

Abstract
Soil fertility and phosphorus management by bone apatite amendment are receiving increasing attention, yet further research is needed to integrate the physicochemical and mineralogical transformation of bone apatite and their impact on the supply and storage of phosphorus in soil. This study has examined bone transformation in the field over a span of 10-years using a set of synchrotron-based microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. Transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) observations reveal the in-situ deterioration of bone osteocyte-canaliculi system and sub-micron microbial tunneling within a year. Extensive organic decomposition, secondary mineral formation and re-mineralization of apatite are evident from the 3rd year. The relative ratio of (v1 + v3) PO43- to v3 CO32- and to amide I increase, and the v3c PO43- peak exhibits a blue-shift in less than 3 years. The carbonate substitution of bone hydroxyapatite (HAp) to AB-type CHAp, and phosphate crystallographic rearrangement become apparent after 10 years' aging. The overall CO32- peak absorbance increases over time, contributing to a higher acid susceptibility in the aged bone. The X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) binding energies for Ca (2p), P (2p) and O (1s) exhibit a red-shift after 1 year because of organo-mineral interplay and a blue-shift starting from the 3rd year as a result of the de-coupling of mineral and organic components. Nutrient supply to soil occurs within months via organo-mineral decoupling and demineralization. More phosphorus has been released from the bones and enriched in the associated and adjacent soils over time. Lab incubation studies reveal prominent secondary mineral formation via re-precipitation at a pH similar to that in soil, which are highly amorphous and carbonate substituted and prone to further dissolution in an acidic environment. Our high-resolution observations reveal a stage-dependent microbial decomposition, phosphorus dissolution and immobilization via secondary mineral formation over time. The active cycling of phosphorus within the bone and its interplay with adjacent soil account for a sustainable supply and storage of phosphorus nutrients.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate materials such as hydroxyapatite (HA) or tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) are highly attractive due to their multitude of applications in bone replacement as well as their environmental and ecological credentials. In this research, quail, hen, duck, and pigeon eggshells were used as a calcium source to obtain calcium phosphate materials via the environmentally friendly wet synthesis. Using the eggshells with the organic membrane, the biphasic calcium phosphate materials composed mainly of HA were obtained. The second mineral phase was β-TCP in the case of using quail, hen, and pigeon eggshells and octacalcium phosphate (OCP) in the case of duck eggshells. The HA content in the obtained materials depended on the amount of membrane in the eggshells and decreased in the order of pigeon, duck, hen, and quail eggshells. The eggshell membrane removal from the eggshells caused the reduced content of HA and the presence of the more soluble β-TCP or OCP phase in the obtained materials. The calcium ions release profile in the PBS buffer indicates the potential biomedical application of these materials.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaP) are extensively studied as additives to dental care products for tooth enamel protection against caries. However, it is not clear yet whether substituted CaP could provide better enamel protection. In this study we produced, characterized and tested in vitro substituted and co‐substituted calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHAp) with Sr2+ and F− ions. X‐ray powder diffractometry, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller were used to characterize synthesized powders and also cytotoxicity was evaluated. pH = f(t) test was performed to estimate, weather synthesized CDHAp suspensions are able to increase pH of experimental media after acid addition. Synthesis products were incorporated into paste to perform in vitro remineralization on the bovine enamel. In addition to mentioned instrumental methods, profilometry was used for evaluation of remineralised enamel samples. The obtained results confirmed formation of CDHAp substituted with 1.5–1.6 wt% of fluoride and 7.4–7.8 wt% of strontium. pH = f(t) experiment pointed out that pH increased by approximately 0.3 within 10 min after acid addition for all CDHAp suspensions. A new layer of the corresponding CDHAp was formed on the enamel. Its thickness increased by 0.8 ± 0.1 μm per day and reached up to 5.8 μm after 7 days. Additionally, octa calcium phosphates were detected on the surface of control samples. In conclusion, we can assume that CDHAp substituted with Sr2+ and/or F− could be used as an effective additive to dental care products promoting formation of protecting layer on the enamel, but there was no significant difference among sample groups.

Abstract
Gallium-containing biomaterials are considered promising for reconstructing osteoporotic bone defects, owing to the potent effect of gallium on restraining osteoclast activities. Nevertheless, the gallium-containing biomaterials were demonstrated to disturb the osteoblast activities. In this study, tricalcium phosphate (TCP) bioceramics were modified by gallium doping in conjunction with incorporation of calcium silicate (CS). The results indicated that the incorporation of CS promoted transition ofβ-TCP toα-TCP, and accelerated densification process, but did not improve the mechanical strength of bioceramics. The silicon released from the composite bioceramics diminished the inhibition effect of released gallium on osteoblast activities, and maintained its effect on restraining osteoclast activities. The TCP-based bioceramics doped with 2.5 mol% gallium and incorporated with 10 mol% CS are considered suitable for treating the bone defects in the osteoporotic environment.

Abstract
Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) microspheres benefit from, on the one hand, a desired shape offering improved flowability and injectability to fill complex-shaped bone defects and on the other hand, a promising combination of bioresorbability, bioactivity, biocompatibility, osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The biofunctional characteristics of BCP microspheres are mainly controlled by varying the constitute phase ratio, porosity and surface roughness, which are all determined by the used production route and its parameters. In this paper, the manufacturing methods, properties and applications of BCP microspheres are reviewed and concluded in terms of future work directions to develop their uses in biomedicine, particularly in bone tissue regenerative and delivery applications.

Abstract
Autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard for almost all bone void-filling orthopedic surgery. However, autologous bone grafting has several limitations, thus scientists are trying to identify an ideal synthetic material as an alternative bone graft substitute. Magnesium-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (Mg-BCP) has recently been in the spotlight and is considered to be a potential bone substitute. The Mg-BCP is a mixture of two bioceramics, that is, hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), doped with Mg2+ , and can be synthesized through chemical wet-precipitation, sol-gel, single diffusion gel, and solid state reactions. Regardless of the synthesis routes, it is found that the Mg2+ preferentially accommodates in β-TCP lattice instead of the HA lattice. The addition of Mg2+ to BCP leads to desirable physicochemical properties and is found to enhance the apatite-forming ability as compared to pristine BCP. In vitro results suggest that the Mg-BCP is bioactive and not toxic to cells. Implantation of Mg-BCP in in vivo models further affirmed its biocompatibility and efficacy as a bone substitute. However, like the other bioceramics, the optimum physicochemical properties of the Mg-BCP scaffold have yet to be determined. Further investigations are required regarding Mg-BCP applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Multiphasic calcium phosphate (Ca-P) has widely been explored for bone graft replacement. This study represents a simple method of developing osteoinductive scaffolds by direct printing of seashell resources. The process demonstrates a coagulation-assisted extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing process for rapid fabrication of multiphasic calcium phosphate-incorporated 3D scaffolds. These scaffolds demonstrated an interconnected open porous architecture with improved compressive strength and higher surface area. Multiphasic calcium phosphate (Ca-P) and hydroxyapatite present in the multi-scalar naturally resourced scaffold displayed differential protein adsorption, thus facilitating cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation, resulting in enhanced deposition of the extracellular matrix. The microstructural and physicochemical attributes of the scaffolds also lead to enhanced stem cell differentiation as witnessed from gene and protein expression analysis. Furthermore, the histological study of subcutaneous implantation evidently portrays promising biocompatibility without foreign body reaction. Neo-tissue in-growth was manifested with abundant blood vessels, thus indicative of excellent vascularization. Notably, cartilaginous and proteoglycan-rich tissue deposition indicated ectopic bone formation via an endochondral ossification pathway. The hierarchical interconnected porous architectural tribology accompanied with multiphasic calcium phosphate composition manifests its successful implication in enhancing stem cell differentiation and promoting excellent tissue in-growth, thus making it a plausible alternative in bone tissue engineering applications.

[PMID: 33812072 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.03.050] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 03/23/2021] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
This review recognizes a unique calcium phosphate (CaP) phase known as monetite or dicalcium phosphate anhydrous (DCPA, CaHPO4), and presents an overview of its properties, processing, and applications in orthopedics. The motivation for the present effort is to highlight the state-of-the-art research and development of monetite and propel the research community to explore more of its potentials in orthopedics. After a brief introduction of monetite, we provide a summary of its various synthesis routes like dehydration, solvent-based, energy-assisted processes and also discuss the formation of different crystal structures with respect to the synthesis conditions. Subsequently, we discuss the material's noteworthy physico-chemical properties including the crystal structure, vibrational spectra, solubility, thermal decomposition, and conversion to other phases. Of note, we focus on the biological (in vitro and in vivo) properties of monetite, given its ever-increasing popularity as a biomaterial for medical implants. Appropriately, we discuss various orthopedic applications of monetite as bone cement, implant coatings, granules for defect fillers, and scaffolds. Many in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed the favorable osteointegration and osteoconduction properties of monetite products, along with a better balance between implant resorption and new bone formation as compared to other CaP phases. The review ends with translational aspects of monetite and presents thoughts about its possible future research directions. Further research may explore but not limited to improvements in mechanical strength of monetite-based scaffolds, using monetite particles as a therapeutic agent delivery, and tissue engineering strategies where monetite serves as the biomaterial. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This is the first review that focusses on the favorable potential of monetite for hard tissue repair and regeneration. The article accurately covers the "Synthesis-Structure-Property-Applications" correlations elaborating on monetite's diverse material properties. Special focus is put on the in vitro and in vivo properties of the material highlighting monetite as an orthopedic material-of-choice. The synthesis techniques are discussed which provide important information about the different fabrication routes for monetite. Most importantly, the review provides comprehensive knowledge about the diverse biomedical applications of monetite as granules, defect--specific scaffolds, bone cements and implant coatings. This review will help to highlight monetite's potential as an effective regenerative medicine and catalyze the continuing translation of this bioceramic from the laboratory to clinics.

Abstract
Preventive and regenerative techniques have been suggested to minimize the aesthetic and functional effects caused by intraoral bone defects, enabling the installation of dental implants. Among them, porous three-dimensional structures (scaffolds) composed mainly of bioabsorbable ceramics, such as hydroxyapatite (HAp) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) stand out for reducing the use of autogenous, homogeneous, and xenogenous bone grafts and their unwanted effects. In order to stimulate bone formation, biodegradable polymers such as cellulose, collagen, glycosaminoglycans, polylactic acid (PLA), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), polyglycolic acid (PGA), polyhydroxylbutyrate (PHB), polypropylenofumarate (PPF), polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), and poly L-co-D, L lactic acid (PLDLA) have also been studied. More recently, hybrid scaffolds can combine the tunable macro/microporosity and osteoinductive properties of ceramic materials with the chemical/physical properties of biodegradable polymers. Various methods are suggested for the manufacture of scaffolds with adequate porosity, such as conventional and additive manufacturing techniques and, more recently, 3D and 4D printing. The purpose of this manuscript is to review features concerning biomaterials, scaffolds macro and microstructure, fabrication techniques, as well as the potential interaction of the scaffolds with the human body.

Abstract
TiO2 thin films were deposited on the orthopedic implant material polyetheretherketone (PEEK) by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) and characterized for their ability to enhance the osseointegrative properties. PEALD was chosen for film deposition to circumvent drawbacks present in line-of-sight deposition techniques, which require technically complex setups for a homogeneous coating thickness. Film conformality was analyzed on silicon 3D test structures and PEEK with micron-scale surface roughness. Wettability and surface energy were determined through contact angle measurements; film roughness and crystallinity were determined by atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Adhesion properties of TiO2 on PEEK were determined with tensile strength tests. Cell tests were performed with the mouse mesenchymal tumor stem cell line ST-2. TiO2-coated PEEK disks were used as substrates for cell proliferation tests and long-term differentiation tests. After 28 days of cultivation, a mineralized bone matrix was observed. Furthermore, the collagen I and osteocalcin content were determined. The results reveal that the osteogenic properties of the TiO2 thin film are comparable to those of hydroxyapatite, and thus bioactive properties of PEEK implants are improved by TiO2 thin films deposited with PEALD.

Abstract
Bone is a dynamic organ with high regenerative potential and provides essential biological functions in the body, such as providing body mobility and protection of internal organs, regulating hematopoietic cell homeostasis, and serving as important mineral reservoir. Bone defects, which can be caused by trauma, cancer and bone disorders, pose formidable public health burdens. Even though autologous bone grafts, allografts, or xenografts have been used clinically, repairing large bone defects remains as a significant clinical challenge. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged as a promising solution to overcome the limitations of autografts and allografts. Ideal bone tissue engineering is to induce bone regeneration through the synergistic integration of biomaterial scaffolds, bone progenitor cells, and bone-forming factors. Successful stem cell-based BTE requires a combination of abundant mesenchymal progenitors with osteogenic potential, suitable biofactors to drive osteogenic differentiation, and cell-friendly scaffold biomaterials. Thus, the crux of BTE lies within the use of cell-friendly biomaterials as scaffolds to overcome extensive bone defects. In this review, we focus on the biocompatibility and cell-friendly features of commonly used scaffold materials, including inorganic compound-based ceramics, natural polymers, synthetic polymers, decellularized extracellular matrix, and in many cases, composite scaffolds using the above existing biomaterials. It is conceivable that combinations of bioactive materials, progenitor cells, growth factors, functionalization techniques, and biomimetic scaffold designs, along with 3D bioprinting technology, will unleash a new era of complex BTE scaffolds tailored to patient-specific applications.

Abstract
The bioaccessibility and bioavailability of a functionalized Calcium (Ca) salt as food ingredient, based on modified Ca carbonate and hydroxyapatite (FCC), was determined and compared with frequently used Ca sources (Ca citrate tetrahydrate (CCT), tri-Ca phosphate (triCP) and Ca carbonate (CC). Results showed a similar Ca bioaccessibility for CCT (76.44 ± 9.73%), CC (73.7 ± 8.18%) and FCC (74.4 ± 1.87%) and a lower value for tri-CP (46.07 ± 8.68%). FCC showed the highest bioavailability, 5.68 ± 0.26%, compared to CC, CCT and tri-CP (3.93 ± 0.99%, 3.41 ± 0.33%, 1.85 ± 0.34%, respectively). The innovative chemical composition and structure of FCC based on amorphous hydroxyapatite combined with Ca carbonate, a greater porosity, lower agglomerates and particle size, improve the Ca solubility in the intestinal media, explaining the similar bioaccessibility but higher bioavailability of FCC compared to CCT, tri-CP and CC.

Abstract
Tissue engineering provides great possibilities to manage tissue damages and injuries in modern medicine. The involvement of hard biocompatible materials in tissue engineering-based therapies for the healing of soft tissue defects has impressively increased over the last few years: in this regard, different types of bioceramics were developed, examined and applied either alone or in combination with polymers to produce composites. Bioactive glasses, carbon nanostructures, and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are among the most widely-proposed hard materials for treating a broad range of soft tissue damages, from acute and chronic skin wounds to complex injuries of nervous and cardiopulmonary systems. Although being originally developed for use in contact with bone, these substances were also shown to offer excellent key features for repair and regeneration of wounds and "delicate" structures of the body, including improved cell proliferation and differentiation, enhanced angiogenesis, and antibacterial/anti-inflammatory activities. Furthermore, when embedded in a soft matrix, these hard materials can improve the mechanical properties of the implant. They could be applied in various forms and formulations such as fine powders, granules, and micro- or nanofibers. There are some pre-clinical trials in which bioceramics are being utilized for skin wounds; however, some crucial questions should still be addressed before the extensive and safe use of bioceramics in soft tissue healing. For example, defining optimal formulations, dosages, and administration routes remain to be fixed and summarized as standard guidelines in the clinic. This review paper aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the use and potential of bioceramics in treatment, reconstruction, and preservation of soft tissues (skin, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, skeletal muscles, and ophthalmic tissues) and critically discusses their pros and cons (e.g., the risk of calcification and ectopic bone formation as well as the local and systemic toxicity) in this regard. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Soft tissues form a big part of the human body and play vital roles in maintaining both structure and function of various organs; however, optimal repair and regeneration of injured soft tissues (e.g., skin, peripheral nerve) still remain a grand challenge in biomedicine. Although polymers were extensively applied to restore the lost or injured soft tissues, the use of bioceramics has the potential to provides new opportunities which are still partially unexplored or at the very beginning. This reviews summarizes the state of the art of bioceramics in this field, highlighting the latest evolutions and the new horizons that can be opened by their use in the context of soft tissue engineering. Existing results and future challenges are discussed in order to provide an up-to-date contribution that is useful to both experienced scientists and early-stage researchers of the biomaterials community.

Abstract
Injectable biphasic calcium phosphate bone cements (BCPCs) composed of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) have been intensively investigated because of their high rate of biodegradation, bioactivity and osteoconductivity, which can be adjusted by changing the ratio between β-TCP and HA phases after setting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of 1 wt% chitosan fiber additive with biphasic calcium phosphate as an injectable bone cement both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro evaluation of compressive strength, degradation rate, morphology, and cell and alkaline phosphatase activities was done by comparison with bone cement without β-TCP. The in vivo results for micro-CT scanning and histological examinations for three groups (control, BCPC and commercial biphasic calcium phosphate granules) were characterized and compared. After the addition of 20 wt% β-TCP to calcium phosphate cement, the initial and final setting times of the sample were 3.92 min and 11.46 min, respectively, which were not significantly different from cement without β-TCP. The degradation time of the BCPC material was longer than that of calcium phosphate cement alone. The healing process was significantly faster for BCPC than for the control and commercial product groups. Therefore, this is the first evidence that BCPC is an attractive option for bone surgery due to its faster stimulation of healing and faster degradation rate.

Abstract
Focal knee resurfacing implants (FKRIs) are intended to treat cartilage defects in middle-aged patients. Most FKRIs are metal-based, which hampers follow-up of the joint using magnetic resonance imaging and potentially leads to damage of the opposing cartilage. The purpose of this study was to develop a nondegradable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) FKRI and investigate its osseointegration. Different surface roughness modifications and biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) coating densities were first tested in vitro on TPU discs. The in vivo osseointegration of BCP-coated TPU implants was subsequently compared to uncoated TPU implants and the titanium bottom layer of metal control implants in a caprine model. Implants were implanted bilaterally in stifle joints and animals were followed for 12 weeks, after which the bone-to-implant contact area (BIC) was assessed. Additionally, 18F-sodium-fluoride (18F-NaF) positron emission tomography PET/CT-scans were obtained at 3 and 12 weeks to visualize the bone metabolism over time. The BIC was significantly higher for the BCP-coated TPU implants compared to the uncoated TPU implants (p = .03), and did not significantly differ from titanium (p = .68). Similar 18F-NaF tracer uptake patterns were observed between 3 and 12 weeks for the BCP-coated TPU and titanium implants, but not for the uncoated implants. TPU FKRIs with surface modifications could provide the answer to the drawbacks of metal FKRIs.

Abstract
Treatment of bone defects caused by trauma or disease is a major burden on human healthcare systems. Although autologous bone grafts are considered as the gold standard, they are limited in availability and are associated with post-operative complications. Minimally invasive alternatives using injectable bone cements are currently used in certain clinical procedures, such as vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. Nevertheless, given the high incidence of fractures and pathologies that result in bone voids, there is an unmet need for injectable materials with desired properties for minimally invasive procedures. This paper provides an overview of the most common injectable bone cement materials for clinical use. The emphasis has been placed on calcium phosphate cements and acrylic bone cements, while enabling the readers to compare the opportunities and challenges for these two classes of bone cements. This paper also briefly reviews antibiotic-loaded bone cements used in bone repair and implant fixation, including their efficacy and cost for healthcare systems. A summary of the current challenges and recommendations for future directions has been brought in the concluding section of this paper.

Abstract
A current approach in bone tissue engineering is the implantation of polymeric scaffolds that promote osteoblast attachment and growth as well as biomineralization. One promising polymer is oligo[poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate] (OPF), a polyethylene glycol-based material that is biocompatible, injectable, and biodegradable, but in its native form does not support robust bone cell attachment or growth. To address this issue, this study evaluated the osteoconductivity of bis[02-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl] phosphate (BP) functionalized OPF hydrogels (OPF-BP) using MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells, both before and after enzymatic mineralization with a calcium solution. The inclusion of negatively charged functional groups allowed for the tailored uptake and release of calcium, while also altering the mechanical properties and surface topography of the hydrogel surface. In cell culture, OPF-BP hydrogels with 20 and 30% (w/w) BP optimized osteoblast attachment, proliferation, and differentiation after a 21-day in vitro period. In addition, the OPF-BP30 treatment, when mineralized with calcium, exhibited a 128% increase in osteocalcin expression when compared with the non-mineralized treatment. These findings suggest that phosphate functionalization and enzymatic calcium mineralization can act synergistically to enhance the osteoconductivity of OPF hydrogels, making this processed material an attractive candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In this study of three-dimensional (3D) printed composite β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)-/hydroxyapatite/poly(ɛ-caprolactone)-based constructs, the effects of vertical compositional ceramic gradients and architectural porosity gradients on the osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were investigated. Specifically, three different concentrations of β-TCP (0, 10, and 20 wt%) and three different porosities (33% ± 4%, 50% ± 4%, and 65% ± 3%) were examined to elucidate the contributions of chemical and physical gradients on the biochemical behavior of MSCs and the mineralized matrix production within a 3D culture system. By delaminating the constructs at the gradient transition point, the spatial separation of cellular phenotypes could be specifically evaluated for each construct section. Results indicated that increased concentrations of β-TCP resulted in upregulation of osteogenic markers, including alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralized matrix development. Furthermore, MSCs located within regions of higher porosity displayed a more mature osteogenic phenotype compared to MSCs in lower porosity regions. These results demonstrate that 3D printing can be leveraged to create multiphasic gradient constructs to precisely direct the development and function of MSCs, leading to a phenotypic gradient. Impact Statement In this study, three-dimensional (3D) printed ceramic/polymeric constructs containing discrete vertical gradients of both composition and porosity were fabricated to precisely control the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. By making simple alterations in construct architecture and composition, constructs containing heterogenous populations of cells were generated, where gradients in scaffold design led to corresponding gradients in cellular phenotype. The study demonstrates that 3D printed multiphasic composite constructs can be leveraged to create complex heterogeneous tissues and interfaces.

Abstract
Zinc has attracted increasing attention in the field of degradable implant materials due to its suitable degradation rate. To further improve the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of zinc, Zn-1Mg-nvol%β-TCP (n = 0, 1, 3, 5) composites were fabricated for biomedical application by the mechanical stirring combined with ultrasonic assisted casting and hot extrusion technology. The microstructure, mechanical properties and corrosion behavior of these composites were systemically investigated and the composite with the best comprehensive performance were selected for biocompatibility evaluation including L-929 cells cytotoxicity test and SD rat model experiment. Tensile test revealed that Zn-1Mg-1vol%β-TCP composite possessed optimal mechanical properties. The yield strength (YS), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), elongation (σ) and elastic modulus (E) of the as-extruded Zn-1Mg-1vol%β-TCP composite are 250.8 MPa, 330.5 MPa, 11.7% and 125.4 GPa respectively. The immersion tests showed that the corrosion resistance of the composite is slightly decreased with the increase of β-TCP content. In addition, the addition of β-TCP makes the cytocompatibility of the composites better than that of the Zn-1Mg alloy matrix. Various blood biochemical parameters in rat serum samples after implantation showed Zn-1Mg alloy and Zn-1Mg-β-TCP composites has not significant tissue inflammation and showed good biocompatibility.

Abstract
Dental implants with surface-porous designs have been recently developed. Clinically, peri-implant bone grafting is expected to promote early osseointegration and bone ingrowth when applied with surface-porous dental implants in challenging conditions. The aim of this study was to comparatively analyze peri-implant bone healing around solid implants and surface-porous implants with and without peri-implant bone grafting, using biomechanical and histomorphometrical assessment in a goat iliac bone model. A total of 36 implants (4.1 mm wide, 11.5 mm long) divided into three groups, solid titanium implant (STI; n = 12), porous titanium implants (PTI; n = 12) and PTI with peri-implant bone grafting using biphasic calcium phosphate granules (PTI + BCP; n = 12), were placed bilaterally in the iliac crests of six goats. The goats were sacrificed seven weeks post-operatively and then subjected to biomechanical (n = 6 per group) and histomorphometrical (n = 6 per group) assessment. The biomechanical assessment revealed no significant differences between the three types of implants. Although the peri-implant bone-area (PIBA%) measured by histomorphometry (STI: 8.63 ± 3.93%, PTI: 9.89 ± 3.69%, PTI + BCP: 9.28 ± 2.61%) was similar for the three experimental groups, the percentage of new bone growth area (BGA%) inside the porous implant portion was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the PTI group (10.67 ± 4.61%) compared to the PTI + BCP group (6.50 ± 6.53%). These data demonstrate that peri-implant bone grafting around surface-porous dental implants does not significantly accelerate early osseointegration and bone ingrowth.

Abstract
The influence of the three nonionic surface active agents such as Tween 20, Tween 80, and Tetronic 90R4 on hydrolysis, setting reaction, microstructure, and mechanical properties of alpha tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) based materials was determined. The study revealed that the addition of any of the surfactants mentioned above slightly prolonged the setting time of the tested cements (up to 5 min). On the other hand, it was found that surfactants influence the long-term hydrolysis reaction. The addition of surfactants also affected the microstructure of the final materials, especially after incubation in a simulated body fluid. Surface active agents also had an impact on mechanical behavior of the obtained cements. Sorbitan esters, Tween 20 and Tween 80, decreased compressive strength in comparison to the reference material (6.56 ± 1.59 MPa) to 3.54 ± 1.18 and 3.68 ± 1.03 MPa, respectively. Interestingly, Tetronic 90R4, never used before as an additive to calcium phosphate bone cements (CPCs) caused a 2-fold increase of this value (up to 13.28 ± 1.59 MPa). All the developed materials exhibited bioactivity in vitro. The obtained results shed new light on surfactants as CPCs additives. They should not only be considered as foaming agent or binders, but also they deserve more attention as modifiers affecting the physicochemical properties of α-TCP based materials.

Abstract
The objective of the present study is to demonstrate the versatility of the digital light processing (DLP) technique particularly when using a freeze-cast ceramic layer as the feedstock, which can manufacture porous calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds with arbitrarily designed macroporous structures with tailored microporous frameworks specially designed for bone scaffold applications. For this goal, we employed camphene-camphor as the freezing vehicle and porogen for the preparation of photocurable CaP suspensions containing diurethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) monomers. After freeze-casting, the CaP suspensions could be solidified at controlled temperatures (~33-38 °C) and then be photopolymerized by DLP. All produced CaP scaffolds fairly resembled the designed macroporous structures (the gyroid structure with two interpenetrating macropore networks). In addition, numerous micropores were created in the CaP filaments, while the microporosity increased with increasing the camphene-camphor amount from 40 vol % to 60 vol %. As a consequence, compressive strength and modulus of hierarchically porous CaP scaffolds decreased due to an increase in overall porosity. However, reasonable mechanical properties could be obtained at high porosities owing to the CaP frameworks constructed in a periodic manner. In addition, excellent water penetration capability, biocompatibility, and apatite-forming ability were obtained, which were attributed to the microporous CaP frameworks with good pore interconnectivity and large surface area.

Abstract
Biomaterials and tissue engineering scaffolds play a central role to repair bone defects. Although ceramic derivatives have been historically used to repair bone, hybrid materials have emerged as viable alternatives. The rationale for hybrid bone biomaterials is to recapitulate the native bone composition to which these materials are intended to replace. In addition to the mechanical and dimensional stability, bone repair scaffolds are needed to provide suitable microenvironments for cells. Therefore, scaffolds serve more than a mere structural template suggesting a need for better and interactive biomaterials. In this review article, we aim to provide a summary of the current materials used in bone tissue engineering. Due to the ever-increasing scientific publications on this topic, this review cannot be exhaustive; however, we attempted to provide readers with the latest advance without being redundant. Furthermore, every attempt is made to ensure that seminal works and significant research findings are included, with minimal bias. After a concise review of crystalline calcium phosphates and non-crystalline bioactive glasses, the remaining sections of the manuscript are focused on organic-inorganic hybrid materials.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2019; 12:ma12172650. [PMID: 31438474 PMCID: PMC6747617 DOI: 10.3390/ma12172650] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2019] [Revised: 08/18/2019] [Accepted: 08/20/2019] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
This study demonstrates the utility of camphene as the pore-regulating agent for phase separation-based 3D plotting to produce hierarchical macro/micro-porous poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-calcium phosphate (CaP) composite scaffolds, specifically featuring highly microporous surfaces. Unlike conventional particulate porogens, camphene is highly soluble in acetone, the solvent for PCL polymer, but insoluble in coagulation medium (water). In this study, this unique characteristic supported the creation of numerous micropores both within and at the surfaces of PCL and PCL-CaP composite filaments when using high camphene contents (40 and 50 wt%). In addition, the incorporation of the CaP particles into PCL solutions did not deteriorate the formation of microporous structures, and thus hierarchical macro/micro-porous PCL-CaP composite scaffolds could be successfully produced. As the CaP content increased, the in vitro biocompatibility, apatite-forming ability, and mechanical properties (tensile strength, tensile modulus, and compressive modulus) of the PCL-CaP composite scaffolds were substantially improved.

Abstract
The objective of the present study was to assess the ability of transduced rat bone marrow cells (RBMCs) that overexpress BMP-2 loaded on a three-dimensionally (3D) printed scaffold to heal a critical sized rat femoral defect. Tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffolds were 3D printed to fit a critical sized rat femoral defect. The RBMCs were transduced with a lentiviral (LV) vector expressing BMP-2 or GFP. The rats were randomized into the following treatment groups: (1) RBMC/LV-BMP-2 + TCP, (2) RBMC/LV-GFP + TCP, (3) nontransduced RBMCs + TCP, (4) TCP scaffold alone. The animals were euthanized at 12 weeks and evaluated with plain radiographs, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), histology, histomorphometry, and biomechanically. Each LV-BMP-2 + TCP treated specimen demonstrated complete healing of the femoral defect on plain radiographs and micro-CT. No femurs healed in the control groups. Micro-CT demonstrated that LV-BMP-2 + TCP treated femoral defects formed 197% more bone volume compared to control groups (p < 0.05). Histologic analysis demonstrated bone formation across the TCP scaffold, uniting the femoral defect on both ends in the LV-BMP-2 + TCP treated specimens. Biomechanical assessment demonstrated similar stiffness (p = 0.863), but lower total energy to failure, peak torque, and peak displacement (p < 0.001) of the femurs treated with LV-BMP-2 + TCP when compared to the contralateral control femur. Regional gene therapy induced overexpression of BMP-2 via transduced RBMCs combined with an osteoconductive 3D printed TCP scaffold can heal a critically sized femoral defect in an animal model. The combination of regional gene therapy and 3D printed osteoconductive scaffolds has significant clinical potential to enhance bone regeneration.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate bioceramics nanoparticles such as nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and nano-tricalcium phosphate (nTCP) are the main focus of basic and applied research for bone tissue regeneration. In particular, a combination of these two phases (nHA + nTCP) which refers to as "nano-biphasic calcium phosphates (nBCP)" is of interest due to the preferred biodegradation nature compared to single-phase bioceramics. However, the available synthesis processes are challenging and the biomaterials properties are yet to be optimized to mimic the physiochemical properties of the natural nanoscale bone apatite. In this study, a new approach was developed for the production of optimized bioceramic nanoparticles aiming to improve their biomimecity for better biological performances. Nanoparticles were synthesized through a carefully controlled and modified wet mechano-chemical method combined with a controlled solid-state synthesis. Different processing variables have been analyzed including; milling parameters, post-synthesis treatment, and calcination phase. Detailed physicochemical characterizations of nanoparticles revealed higher crystallinity (∼100%), lower crystallite/particle size (58 nm), higher homogeneity, reduced particle agglomeration size (6 μm), and a closer molar ratio (1.8) to biological apatite compared to control and standard samples. Furthermore, the study group was confirmed as calcium-deficient carbonate-substituted BCP nanoparticles (nHA/nβ-TCP: 92/8%). As such, the introduced method can afford an easier and accurate control over nanoparticle physiochemical properties including the composition phase which can be used for better customization of biomaterials for clinical applications. The findings of this article will also help researchers in the further advancement of production strategies of biomaterials. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microstructure, mechanical, corrosion properties and cytotoxicity of beta‑calcium polyphosphate reinforced ZK61 magnesium alloy composite by spark plasma sintering. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Magnesium alloy (ZK61) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) composite ZK61/xβ-TCP (x = 0, 5, 10, 15 wt%) are fabricated using spark plasma sintering (SPS). In this study, the microstructure, mechanical properties, degradation behavior in simulated body fluid and cytotoxicity tests of composite were investigated. The results show that when the content of β-TCP was 5 wt%, which could be evenly distributed on the boundary of ZK61 particles. But agglomeration phenomenon appeared when the content of β-TCP reached 15 wt%. The hardness and the compressive strength increase with increasing of β-TCP content, and ZK61/15β-TCP achieves a maximum Vickers hardness of 94.81 HV0.1 and compressive strength of 402 ± 9 MPa. The immersion tests indicate that corrosion resistance of the composites are better than that of ZK61 matrix, especially ZK61/5β-TCP. Corrosion products of the composite surface are mainly Mg(OH)2, HA and Ca3(PO4)2. The cytotoxicity tests indicate that composite extracts have no toxicity to L-929 cells. These results suggest that ZK61/xβ-TCP composites are promising candidate for degradable implant materials.

Abstract
Back pain is the second most common reason for primary-care physician visits after the common cold. New understanding of the spine pathophysiology and biomechanics led to the development of novel injectable biomaterials to treat those pain generators. Although not all biomaterials are currently ready for common use, there is significant interest by the medical community to invest time, resources, and energy to optimize these injectables. This review introduces basic concepts and advancements in the field of bioinjectables tailored for the vertebral body. Also, we highlight advances in injectable biomaterials which were presented at the Groupe de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les Biomatériaux Ostéoarticulaires Injectables (GRIBOI) (Interdisciplinary Research Society for Injectable Osteoarticular Biomaterials) meeting in March 2018 in Los Angeles, CA. Indeed, multidisciplinary translational research and international meetings such as GRIBOI bring together scientists and clinicians with different backgrounds/expertise to discuss injectable biomaterials innovations tailored for the interventional pain management field.
