Improvement in mechanical strength and biological function of 3D-printed trimagnesium phosphate bioceramic scaffolds by incorporating strontium orthosilicate. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 157:106606. [PMID: 38838542 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106606] [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: 03/31/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/29/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Trimagnesium phosphate (TMP) bioceramic scaffolds are deemed as promising bone grafts, but their mechanical and biological properties are yet to be improved. In the study, strontium orthosilicate (SrOS) was used to modify the TMP scaffolds, whose macroporous structure was constructed by the filament deposition-type 3D printing method. The new phases of SrMg2(PO4)2 and Sr2MgSi2O7, which showed nanocrystalline topography, were produced in the 3D-printed TMP/SrOS bioceramic composite scaffolds. The compressive strength (1.8-64.1 MPa) and porosity (39.7%-71.4%) of the TMP/SrOS scaffolds could be readily tailored by changing the amounts of SrOS additives and the sintering temperature. The TMP/SrOS scaffolds gradually degraded in the aqueous solution, consequently releasing ions of magnesium, strontium and silicon. In contrast with the TMP scaffolds, the TMP/SrOS bioceramic scaffolds had profoundly higher compressive strength, and enhanced cell proliferative and osteogenic activities. The TMP/SrOS scaffolds incorporated with 5 wt% SrOS had the highest mechanical strength and beneficial cellular function, which made them promising for treating different sites of bone defects.

Abstract
Due to matching biomechanical properties and significant biological activity, Mg-based implants present great potential in orthopedic applications. In recent years, the biocompatibility and therapeutic effect of magnesium-based implants have been widely investigated in trauma repair. In contrast, the R&D work of Mg-based implants in spinal fusion is still limited. This review firstly introduced the general background for Mg-based implants. Secondly, the mechanical properties and degradation behaviors of Mg and its traditional and novel alloys were reviewed. Then, different surface modification techniques of Mg-based implants were described. Thirdly, this review comprehensively summarized the biological pathways of Mg degradation to promote bone formation in neuro-musculoskeletal circuit, angiogenesis with H-type vessel formation, osteogenesis with osteoblasts activation and chondrocyte ossification as an integrated system. Fourthly, this review followed the translation process of Mg-based implants via updating the preclinical studies in fracture fixation, sports trauma repair and reconstruction, and bone distraction for large bone defect. Furthermore, the pilot clinical studies were involved to demonstrate the reliable clinical safety and satisfactory bioactive effects of Mg-based implants in bone formation. Finally, this review introduced the background of spine fusion surgeryand the challenges of biological matching cage development. At last, this review prospected the translation potential of a hybrid Mg-PEEK spine fusion cage design.

Assessment of tissue response in vivo: PET-CT imaging of titanium and biodegradable magnesium implants. Acta Biomater 2024; 184:461-472. [PMID: 38871201 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.06.005] [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: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
To study in vivo the bioactivity of biodegradable magnesium implants and other possible biomaterials, we are proposing a previously unexplored application of PET-CT imaging, using available tracers to follow soft tissue and bone remodelling and immune response in the presence of orthopaedic implants. Female Wistar rats received either implants (Ti6Al7Nb titanium or WE43 magnesium) or corresponding transcortical sham defects into the diaphyseal area of the femurs. Inflammatory response was followed with [18F]FDG and osteogenesis with [18F]NaF, over the period of 1.5 months after surgery. An additional pilot study with [68Ga]NODAGA-RGD tracer specific to αvβ3 integrin expression was performed to follow the angiogenesis for one month. [18F]FDG tracer uptake peaked on day 3 before declining in all groups, with Mg and Ti groups exhibiting overall higher uptake compared to sham. This suggests increased cellular activity and tissue response in the presence of Mg during the initial weeks, with Ti showing a subsequent increase in tracer uptake on day 45, indicating a foreign body reaction. [18F]NaF uptake demonstrated the superior osteogenic potential of Mg compared to Ti, with peak uptake on day 7 for all groups. [68Ga]NODAGA-RGD pilot study revealed differences in tracer uptake trends between groups, particularly the prolonged expression of αvβ3 integrin in the presence of implants. Based on the observed differences in the uptake trends of radiotracers depending on implant material, we suggest that PET-CT is a suitable modality for long-term in vivo assessment of orthopaedic biomaterial biocompatibility and underlying tissue reactions. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The study explores the novel use of positron emission tomography for the assessment of the influence that biomaterials have on the surrounding tissues. Previous related studies have mostly focused on material-related effects such as implant-associated infections or to follow the osseointegration in prosthetics, but the use of PET to evaluate the materials has not been reported before. The approach tests the feasibility of using repeated PET-CT imaging to follow the tissue response over time, potentially improving the methodology for adopting new biomaterials for clinical use.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2400242.

Abstract
Maxillofacial bone defects exhibit intricate anatomy and irregular morphology, presenting challenges for effective treatment. This study aimed to address these challenges by developing an injectable bioactive composite microsphere, termed D-P-Ak (polydopamine-PLGA-akermanite), designed to fit within the defect site while minimizing injury. The D-P-Ak microspheres biodegraded gradually, releasing calcium, magnesium, and silicon ions, which, notably, not only directly stimulated the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) but also activated sensory nerve cells to secrete calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a key factor in bone repair. Moreover, the released CGRP enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through epigenetic methylation modification. Specifically, inhibition of EZH2 and enhancement of KDM6A reduced the trimethylation level of histone 3 at lysine 27 (H3K27), thereby activating the transcription of osteogenic genes such as Runx2 and Osx. The efficacy of the bioactive microspheres in bone repair is validated in a rat mandibular defect model, demonstrating that peripheral nerve response facilitates bone regeneration through epigenetic modification. These findings illuminated a novel strategy for constructing neuroactive osteo-inductive biomaterials with potential for further clinical applications.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) doped with therapeutical ions present multifunctional systems that enable a synergistic outcome through the dual delivery of drugs and ions. The aim of this study was to evaluate influence of co-doping with strontium and magnesium ions (SrMg-MBGNs) on the properties of MBGNs. A modified microemulsion-assisted sol-gel synthesis was used to obtain particles, and their physicochemical properties, bioactivity, and drug-loading/release ability were evaluated. Indirect biological assays using 2D and 3D cell culture models on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) and endothelial EA.hy926 cells, respectively, were used to determine biocompatibility of MBGNs, their influence on alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, calcium deposition, and cytoskeletal organization. Results showed that Sr,Mg-doping increased pore volume and solubility, and changed the mesoporous structure from worm-like to radial-dendritic, which led to a slightly accelerated drug release compared to pristine MBGNs. Biological assays confirmed that particles are biocompatible, and have ability to slightly induce ALP production and calcium deposition of hBM-MSCs, as well as to significantly improve the proliferation of EA.hy926 compared to biochemical stimulation via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) administration or regular media. Fluorescence staining revealed that SrMg-MBGNs had a similar effect on EA.hy926 cytoskeletal organization to the VEGF group. In conclusion, Sr,Mg-MBGNs might be considered promising biomaterial for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Macrophages play a pivotal role in the crosstalk between the immune and skeletal systems, while Mg-based biomaterials demonstrate immunomodulatory capabilities in this procedure. However, the mechanism of how Mg2+ promotes osteogenesis through the interplay of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and macrophages remains undescribed. Here, we demonstrated that a Mg-cross-linked alginate hydrogel exerted a dual enhancement of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation through the ligand-receptor pairing of the OSM/miR-370-3p-gp130 axis. On the one hand, Mg2+, released from the Mg-cross-linked hydrogel, stimulates bone marrow-derived macrophages to produce and secrete more OSM. On the other hand, Mg2+ lowers the miR-370-3p level in BMSCs and in turn, reverses its suppression on gp130. Then, the OSM binds to the gp130 heterodimer receptor and activates intracellular osteogenic programs in BMSCs. Taken together, this study reveals a novel cross-talk pattern between the skeletal and immune systems under Mg2+ stimulation. This study not only brings new insights into the immunomodulatory properties of Mg-based biomaterials for orthopedic applications but also enriches the miRNA regulatory network and provides a promising target to facilitate bone regeneration in large bone defects.

Abstract
Magnesium-based biomaterials hold remarkable promise for various clinical applications, offering advantages such as reduced stress-shielding and enhanced bone strengthening and vascular remodeling compared to traditional materials. However, ensuring the quality of preclinical research is crucial for the development of these implants. To achieve implant success, an understanding of the cellular responses post-implantation, proper model selection, and good study design are crucial. There are several challenges to reaching a safe and effective translation of laboratory findings into clinical practice. The utilization of Mg-based biomedical devices eliminates the need for biomaterial removal surgery post-healing and mitigates adverse effects associated with permanent biomaterial implantation. However, the high corrosion rate of Mg-based implants poses challenges such as unexpected degradation, structural failure, hydrogen evolution, alkalization, and cytotoxicity. The biocompatibility and degradability of materials based on magnesium have been studied by many researchers in vitro; however, evaluations addressing the impact of the material in vivo still need to be improved. Several animal models, including rats, rabbits, dogs, and pigs, have been explored to assess the potential of magnesium-based materials. Moreover, strategies such as alloying and coating have been identified to enhance the degradation rate of magnesium-based materials in vivo to transform these challenges into opportunities. This review aims to explore the utilization of Mg implants across various biomedical applications within cellular (in vitro) and animal (in vivo) models.

Biomed J 2024:100750. [PMID: 38838984 DOI: 10.1016/j.bj.2024.100750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2023] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone grafting is the standard treatment for critical bone defects, but autologous grafts have limitations like donor site morbidity and limited availability, while commercial artificial grafts may have poor integration with surrounding bone tissue, leading to delayed healing. Magnesium deficiency negatively impacts angiogenesis and bone repair. Therefore, incorporating magnesium into a synthetic biomaterial could provide an excellent bone substitute. This study aims to evaluate the morphological, mechanical, and biological properties of a calcium phosphate cement (CPC) sponge composed of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM), which could serve as an excellent bone substitute by incorporating magnesium. METHODS This study aims to develop biomedical materials composed mainly of TTCP and MCPM powder, magnesium powder, and collagen. The materials were prepared using a wet-stirred mill and freeze-dryer methods. The particle size, composition, and microstructure of the materials were investigated. Finally, the biological properties of these materials, including 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for biocompatibility, effects on bone cell differentiation by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity assay and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity assay, and endothelial cell tube formation assay for angiogenesis, were evaluated as well. RESULTS The data showed that the sub-micron CPC powder, composed of TTCP/MCPM in a 3.5:1 ratio, had a setting time shorter than 15 minutes and a compressive strength of 4.39±0.96 MPa. This reveals that the sub-micron CPC powder had an adequate setting time and mechanical strength. We found that the sub-micron CPC sponge containing magnesium had better biocompatibility, including increased proliferation and osteogenic induction effects without cytotoxicity. The CPC sponge containing magnesium also promoted angiogenesis. CONCLUSION In summary, we introduced a novel CPC sponge, which had a similar property to human bone promoted the biological functions of bone cells, and could serve as a promising material used in bone regeneration for critical bone defects.

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

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) has garnered significant attention as a natural polymer for fabricating porous scaffolds in various engineering applications. However, the limited osteoinductive property of SF has hindered its efficacy in bone repair applications. In this study, we constructed an SF-based injectable porous microcarrier that is doped with laponite (LAP), containing magnesium ions (Mg2+). The influence of freezing temperatures and concentrations of SF and LAP on the structural parameters of SF-LAP microcarriers was investigated. The SF-LAP microcarrier exhibited a porosity of 76.7 ± 1.2% and a controlled pore size of 24.6 ± 4.0 μm. At the 6 weeks of in vitro degradation test, a mild alkaline level in culture medium containing SF-LAP microcarriers was detected. The release of Mg2+ from the SF-LAP microcarrier was maintained at a concentration within the range of 1.2-2.3 mM during the 6 weeks. The seeded human adipose-derived stem cells in the SF-LAP microcarrier demonstrated a significant enhancement in osteogenic differentiation compared with cells seeded in the pure SF microcarrier, as evidenced by quantitative alkaline phosphatase activity and the expression of osteogenic marker genes. These findings underscore the potential of the SF-LAP microcarrier as an ideal cell carrier in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles are promising materials for bone tissue engineering due to their chemical resemblance to the native bone structure. However, most studies are unable to capture the entirety of the defective environment, providing limited bone regenerative abilities. Hence, this study aims to develop a multifunctional nanoparticle to collectively control the defective bone niche, including immune, angiogenic, and osteogenic systems. The nanoparticles, self-assembled by biomimetic mineralization and tannic acid (TA)-mediated metal-polyphenol network (MPN), are released sustainably after the incorporation within a gelatin cryogel. The released nanoparticles display a reduction in M1 macrophages by means of reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination. Consequently, osteoclast maturation is also reduced, which is observed by the minimal formation of multinucleated cells (0.4%). Furthermore, the proportion of M2 macrophages, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic potential are consistently increased by the effects of magnesium from the nanoparticles. This orchestrated control of multiple systems influences the in vivo vascularized bone regeneration in which 80% of the critical-sized bone defect is regenerated with new bones with mature lamellar structure and arteriole-scale micro-vessels. Altogether, this study emphasizes the importance of the coordinated modulation of immune, osteogenic, and angiogenic systems at the bone defect site for robust bone regeneration.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg) alloys are widely used in bone fixation and bone repair as biodegradable bone-implant materials. However, their clinical application is limited due to their fast corrosion rate and poor mechanical stability. Here, the development of Mg-2Zn-0.5Ca-0.5Sr (MZCS) and Mg-2Zn-0.5Ca-0.5Zr (MZCZ) alloys with improved mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, cytocompatibility, osteogenesis performance, and antibacterial capability is reported. The hot-extruded (HE) MZCZ sample exhibits the highest ultimate tensile strength of 255.8 ± 2.4 MPa and the highest yield strength of 208.4 ± 2.8 MPa and an elongation of 15.7 ± 0.5%. The HE MZCS sample shows the highest corrosion resistance, with the lowest corrosion current density of 0.2 ± 0.1 µA cm-2 and the lowest corrosion rate of 4 ± 2 µm per year obtained from electrochemical testing, and a degradation rate of 368 µm per year and hydrogen evolution rate of 0.83 ± 0.03 mL cm-2 per day obtained from immersion testing. The MZCZ sample shows the highest cell viability in relation to MC3T3-E1 cells among all alloy extracts, indicating good cytocompatibility except at 25% concentration. Furthermore, the MZCZ alloy shows good antibacterial capability against Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
The effect of immunoinflammation on bone repair during the recovery process of bone defects needs to be further explored. It is reported that Mg2+ can promote bone repair with immunoregulatory effect, but the underlying mechanism on adaptive immunity is still unclear. Here, by using chitosan and hyaluronic acid-coated Mg2+ (CSHA-Mg) in bone-deficient mice, it is shown that Mg2+ can inhibit the activation of CD4+ T cells and increase regulatory T cell formation by inducing immunosuppressive dendritic cells (imDCs). Mechanistically, Mg2+ initiates the activation of the MAPK signaling pathway through TRPM7 channels on DCs. This process subsequently induces the downstream HIF-1α expression, a transcription factor that amplifies TGF-β production and inhibits the effective T cell function. In vivo, knock-out of HIF-1α in DCs or using a HIF-1α inhibitor PX-478 reverses inhibition of bone inflammation and repair promotion upon Mg2+-treatment. Moreover, roxadustat, which stabilizes HIF-1α protein expression, can significantly promote immunosuppression and bone repair in synergism with CSHA-Mg. Thus, the findings identify a key mechanism for DCs and its HIF-1α-TGF-β axis in the induction of immunosuppressive bone microenvironment, providing potential targets for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Dental implants and bone augmentation are among dentistry's most prevalent surgical treatments; hence, many dental implant surfaces and bone grafts have been researched to improve bone response. Such new materials were radiologically, histologically, and histomorphometrically evaluated on animals before being used on humans. As a result, several studies used animals to evaluate novel implant technologies, biocompatibility, surgical techniques, and osseointegration strategies, as preclinical research on animal models is essential to evaluate bioactive principles (on cells, compounds, and implants) that can act through multiple mechanisms and to predict animal behavior, which is difficult to predict from in vitro studies alone. In this study, we critically reviewed all research on different animal models investigating the osseointegration degree of new implant surfaces, reporting different species used in the osseointegration research over the last 30 years. Moreover, this is the first study to summarize reviews on the main animal models used in the translational research of osseointegration, including the advantages and limitations of each model and determining the ideal location for investigating osseointegration in small and large animal models. Overall, each model has advantages and disadvantages; hence, animal selection should be based on the cost of acquisition, animal care, acceptability to society, availability, tolerance to captivity, and housing convenience. Among small animal models, rabbits are an ideal model for biological observations around implants, and it is worth noting that osseointegration was discovered in the rabbit model and successfully applied to humans.

Abstract
Background Bone staples have been shown previously to be a viable modality for cortical tendon graft fixation in ligament knee surgery. However, soft tissue reactions have been reported, making implant removal necessary. Magnesium alloys are a promising material for biodegradable orthopaedic implants, with mechanical properties closely resembling those of human bone. Purpose To compare the primary stability of a biodegradable bone staple prototype made from magnesium to bone staples made from metal in the cortical fixation of tendon grafts during knee surgery. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods Primary stability of peripheral tendon graft fixation was assessed in a porcine model of medial collateral ligament reconstruction. Two commercially available metal bone staples (Richards fixation staple with spikes [Me1] and spiked ligament staple [Me2]) were compared with a magnesium bone staple prototype for soft tissue fixation. Primary stability was assessed using a uniaxial materials testing machine. Cyclic loading at 50 and 100 N was applied for 500 cycles each, followed by load-to-failure testing. Results After 500 cycles at 50 N, elongation was 1.5 ± 0.5 mm in the Me1 group, 1.9 ± 0.5 mm in the Me2 group, and 1.8 ± 0.4 mm in the magnesium group. After 1000 cycles of loading (500 cycles at 50 N and 500 at 100 N), elongation was 3.6 ± 0.9 mm in the Me1 group, 3.5 ± 0.6 mm in the Me2 group, and 4.1 ± 1.0 mm in the magnesium group. No significant differences regarding elongation were found between the groups. Load to failure was 352 ± 115 N in the Me1 group, 373 ± 77 N in the Me2 group, and 449 ± 92 N in the magnesium group, with no significant difference between the groups. Conclusion In this study, the magnesium bone staples provided appropriate time-zero biomechanical primary stability in comparison with metal bone staples and may therefore be a feasible alternative for cortical fixation of tendon grafts in knee surgery. Clinical Relevance The biodegradability of magnesium bone staples would eliminate the need for later implant removal.

Abstract
The hypoxic microenvironment in osteosarcoma inevitably compromises the antitumor effect and local bone defect repair, suggesting an urgent need for sustained oxygenation in the tumor. The currently reported oxygen-releasing materials have short oxygen-releasing cycles, harmful products, and limited antitumor effects simply by improving hypoxia. Therefore, the PCL/nHA/MgO2/PDA-integrated oxygen-releasing scaffold with a good photothermal therapy effect was innovatively constructed in this work to achieve tumor cell killing and bone regeneration functions simultaneously. The material distributes MgO2 powder evenly on the scaffold material through 3D printing technology and achieves the effect of continuous oxygen release (more than 3 weeks) through its slow reaction with water. The in vitro and in vivo results also indicate that the scaffold has good biocompatibility and sustained-release oxygen properties, which can effectively induce the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells, achieving excellent bone defect repair. At the same time, in vitro cell experiments and subcutaneous tumorigenesis experiments also confirmed that local oxygen supply can promote osteosarcoma cell apoptosis, inhibit proliferation, and reduce the expression of heat shock protein 60, thereby enhancing the photothermal therapy effect of polydopamine and efficiently eliminating osteosarcoma. Taken together, this integrated functional scaffold provides a unique and efficient approach for antitumor and tumor-based bone defect repair for osteosarcoma treatment.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels with osteogenic and angiogenetic properties are of interest in bone tissue engineering. Since the bioactivity of ions is concentration-dependent, nanosized silk-magnesium (Mg) complexes were previously developed and assembled into hydrogels with angiogenic capabilities but failed to control both osteogenic and angiogenetic activities effectively. Here, nanosized silk particles with different sizes were obtained by using ultrasonic treatment to control silk-Mg coordination and particle formation, resulting in silk-Mg hydrogels with different types of bioactivity. Fourier transform infrared and X-ray diffraction results revealed that different coordination intensities were present in the different complexes as a basis for the differences in activities. Slow Mg ion release was controlled by these nanosized silk-Mg complexes through degradation. With the same amount of Mg ions, the different silk-Mg complexes exhibited different angiogenic and osteogenic capacities. Complexes with both angiogenic and osteogenic capacities were developed by optimizing the sizes of the silk particles, resulting in faster and improved quality of bone formed in vivo than complexes with the same composition of silk and Mg but only angiogenic or osteogenic capacities. The biological selectivity of silk-Mg complexes should facilitate applications in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials in regenerative medicine has expanded to treat various disorders caused by trauma or disease in orthopedics and dentistry. However, the treatment of large and complex bone defects presents a challenge, leading to a pressing need for optimized biomaterials for bone repair. Recent advances in chemical sciences have enabled the incorporation of therapeutic ions into bone grafts to enhance their performance. These ions, such as strontium (for bone regeneration/osteoporosis), copper (for angiogenesis), boron (for bone growth), iron (for chemotaxis), cobalt (for B12 synthesis), lithium (for osteogenesis/cementogenesis), silver (for antibacterial resistance), and magnesium (for bone and cartilage regeneration), among others (e.g., zinc, sodium, and silica), have been studied extensively. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current knowledge and recent developments in ion incorporation into biomaterials for bone and periodontal tissue repair. It also discusses recently developed biomaterials from a basic design and clinical application perspective. Additionally, the review highlights the importance of precise ion introduction into biomaterials to address existing limitations and challenges in combination therapies. Future prospects and opportunities for the development and optimization of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering are emphasized.

Abstract
Microspheres (MSs) are ideal candidates as biological scaffolds loading with growth factors or cells for bone tissue engineering to repair irregular alveolar bone defects by minimally invasive injection. However, the high initial burst release of growth factor and low cell attachment limit the application of microspheres. The modification of microspheres often needs expensive experiments facility or complex chemical reactions, which is difficult to achieve and may bring other problems. In this study, a sol-grade nanoclay, laponite XLS is used to modify the surface of MSs to enhance its affinity to either positively or negatively charged proteins and cells without changing the interior structure of the MSs. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is used as a representation of growth factor to check the osteoinduction ability of laponite XLS-modified MSs. By modification, the protein sustained release, cell loading, and osteoinduction ability of MSs are improved. Modified by 1% laponite XLS, the MSs can not only promote osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells by themselves, but also enhance the effect of the rhBMP-2 below the effective dose. Collectively, the study provides an easy and viable method to modify the biological behavior of microspheres for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Angiogenesis at the fracture site plays crucial roles in the endogenous osteogenesis process and is a prerequisite for the efficient repair of implant fixed bone defects. To improve the peri-implant vascularization of titanium implant for accelerating defect healing, we developed a Co-doped Mg-Al layered hydroxide coating on the surface of titanium using hydrothermal reaction and then modified the surface with gallic acid (Ti-LDH/GA). Gallic acid coating enabled the sustained release of Co2+ and Mg2+ to the defect site over a month. Ti-LDH/GA treatment profoundly stimulated the angiogenic potential of endothelial cells by upregulating the vascularization regulators such as vascular endothelial growth factor VEGF) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), leading to enhanced osteogenic capability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). These pro-bone healing benefits were attributed to the synergistic effects of Co ions and Mg ions in promoting angiogenesis and new bone formation. These insights collectively suggested the potent pro-osteogenic effect of Ti-LDH/GA through leveraging peri-implant vascularization, offering a new approach for developing biofunctional titanium implants.

Abstract
Clay minerals have been applied in biomedicine for thousands of years. Laponite is a nanostructured synthetic clay with the capacity to retain and progressively release drugs. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in Laponite application in various biomedical areas. This is the first paper to review the potential biomedical applications of Laponite in ophthalmology. The introduction briefly covers the physical, chemical, rheological, and biocompatibility features of different routes of administration. After that, emphasis is placed on 1) drug delivery for antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, growth factors, other proteins, and cancer treatment; 2) bleeding prevention or treatment; and 3) tissue engineering through regenerative medicine using scaffolds in intraocular and extraocular tissue. Although most scientific research is not performed on the eye, both the findings and the new treatments resulting from that research are potentially applicable in ophthalmology since many of the drugs used are the same, the tissue evaluated in vitro or in vivo is also present in the eye, and the pathologies treated also occur in the eye. Finally, future prospects for this emerging field are discussed.

Abstract
Functional nano-fillers are commonly used to reduce bacterial colonization in dentistry. This study aimed to synthesize, characterize, and evaluate the biological effects of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NP) obtained by mechanosynthesis. XRD, TEM, FT-IR, and UV-Vis were used to characterize MgO-NP which were subsequently tested for their activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli (E. coli). The effects of MgO-NP on osteoblast cells were also analyzed. Three variables were studied: microbial inhibition by optical density (OD; 570-nm), viability estimated by colony-forming-units, and cell proliferation. The characterization of NP is consistent with nanostructures, minimum inhibitory concentration between 1.5-5 mg/mL, and microbial inhibition at 9.75 ug/mL concentration for E. coli were determined. There were different concentration-dependent effects on cell proliferation. Results were observed with 0.156 mg/mL MgO-NP, which increased cell proliferation at 24 and 48 h. The results suggest the antibacterial suitability of MgO-NP, with tolerable viability of mammalian cells for dental applications.

Abstract
Introduction Excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) following myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) can result in additional death of myocardial cells. The rapid clearance of ROS after reperfusion injury and intervention during subsequent cardiac repair stages are crucial for the ultimate recovery of cardiac function. Methods Magnesium-doped mesoporous bioactive glasses were prepared and loaded with the antioxidant drug gallic acid into MgNPs by sol-gel method. The antioxidant effects of MgNPs/GA were tested for their pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects based on the release characteristics of GA and Mg2+ from MgNPs/GA. Later, we confirmed in our in vivo tests through immunofluorescence staining of tissue sections at various time points that MgNPs/GA exhibited initial antioxidant effects and had both pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory effects during the cardiac repair phase. Finally, we evaluated the cardiac function in mice treated with MgNPs/GA. Results We provide evidence that GA released by MgNPs/GA can effectively eliminate ROS in the early stage, decreasing myocardial cell apoptosis. During the subsequent cardiac repair phase, the gradual release of Mg2+ from MgNPs/GA stimulated angiogenesis and promoted M2 macrophage polarization, thereby reducing the release of inflammatory factors. Conclusion MgNPs/GA acting on multiple cell types is an integrated solution for comprehensive attenuation of myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury and cardiac function protection.

Abstract
Bone, a mineralized tissue, continuously undergoes remodeling. It is a process that engages the mineralization and demineralization of the bone matrix, orchestrated by the interactions among cells and cell-secreted biomolecules under the bone ionic microenvironment (BIE). The osteoinductive properties of the demineralized organic bone matrix and many biological factors have been well-investigated. However, the impact of the bone ionic environment on cell differentiation and osteogenesis remains largely unknown. In this study, we extracted and isolated inorganic bone components (bone-derived monetite, BM) using a low-temperature method and, for the first time, investigated whether the BIE could actively affect cell differentiation and regulate osteoimmune reactions. It was evidenced that the BIE could foster the osteogenesis of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) and promote hBMSCs mineralization without using osteogenic inductive agents. Interestingly, it was noted that BIE resulted in intracellular mineralization, evidenced by intracellular accumulation of carbonate hydroxyapatite similar to that oberved in osteoblasts cultured in osteoinductive media. Additionally, BIE was found to enhance osteogenesis by generating a favorable osteoimmune environment. In a rat calvarial bone defect model, the osteogenic capacity of BIE was evaluated using a collagen type I-impregnated BM (Col-BM) composite. It showed that Col-BM significantly promoted new bone formation in the critical-size bone defect areas. Taken together, this is the first study that investigated the influence of the BIE on osteogenesis, osteoimmunology, and in situ bone tissue engineering. The innate osteoinductive potential of inorganic bone components, both in vitro and in vivo, not only expands the understanding of the BIE on osteogenesis but also benefits future biomaterials engineering for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Semisolid powder molding was used to prepare the medical Mg-6Zn alloy; in order to further improve its degradation adaptability, 0.5 and 1 wt % Mn were added. Then, the effect of the forming temperature (540, 560, 580, and 600 °C) on the in vitro degradation behavior of the prepared Mg-6Zn-xMn (x = 0.5, 1 wt %) was analyzed, and the optimized alloy was obtained. Finally, the biocompatibility and in vivo degradation performance of the optimized and Mn-free alloys were evaluated. Importantly, single-photon emission tomographic imaging (SPECT/CT) was first applied to monitor the in vivo degradation process. The results show that the corrosion mechanism of the Mn-free alloy is microgalvanic corrosion control with corrosive pitting. After adding Mn, the in vitro degradation rate decreases by half (0.17 ± 0.01 mm/year) as the forming temperature increases to 600 °C, and Mg-6Zn-1Mn prepared at 600 °C is the optimized alloy. Mn addition improves the corrosion product film protection and discontinuous secondary phases, and thus, the corrosion mechanism is changed to corrosive pitting control. Additionally, semisolid powder molding is an easy method to prepare alloys with low average pore interconnectivity (<10%), which is helpful for slowing down the degradation rate. The Mn-containing alloy has better biocompatibility, with a cytotoxicity of grade 0-1, due to its lower degradation rate. The in vivo corrosion rate of the Mn-free alloy is 0.19 mm/year after 28 days of implantation, which was precisely detected by SPECT/CT in real-time. The long-term in vivo degradation adaptability of Mn-free and Mn-containing alloys was not correctly presented, which may be due to the unreasonable bone defect model causing implant displacement. However, both of these alloys cause no obvious inflammation and show good healing. In summary, semisolid powder molding is a potentially promising technique to prepare medical Mg alloys, and nuclear imaging is an effective in vivo degradation evaluation method.

Bone Regeneration Induced by Patient-Adapted Mg Alloy-Based Scaffolds for Bone Defects: Present and Future Perspectives. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:618. [PMID: 38132557 PMCID: PMC10742271 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8080618] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Treatment of bone defects resulting after tumor surgeries, accidents, or non-unions is an actual problem linked to morbidity and the necessity of a second surgery and often requires a critical healthcare cost. Although the surgical technique has changed in a modern way, the treatment outcome is still influenced by patient age, localization of the bone defect, associated comorbidities, the surgeon approach, and systemic disorders. Three-dimensional magnesium-based scaffolds are considered an important step because they can have precise bone defect geometry, high porosity grade, anatomical pore shape, and mechanical properties close to the human bone. In addition, magnesium has been proven in in vitro and in vivo studies to influence bone regeneration and new blood vessel formation positively. In this review paper, we describe the magnesium alloy's effect on bone regenerative processes, starting with a short description of magnesium's role in the bone healing process, host immune response modulation, and finishing with the primary biological mechanism of magnesium ions in angiogenesis and osteogenesis by presenting a detailed analysis based on a literature review. A strategy that must be followed when a patient-adapted scaffold dedicated to bone tissue engineering is proposed and the main fabrication technologies are combined, in some cases with artificial intelligence for Mg alloy scaffolds, are presented with examples. We emphasized the microstructure, mechanical properties, corrosion behavior, and biocompatibility of each study and made a basis for the researchers who want to start to apply the regenerative potential of magnesium-based scaffolds in clinical practice. Challenges, future directions, and special potential clinical applications such as osteosarcoma and persistent infection treatment are present at the end of our review paper.

Abstract
The utilization of guided tissue regeneration membranes is a significant approach for enhancing bone tissue growth in areas with bone defects. Biodegradable magnesium alloys are increasingly being used as guided tissue regeneration membranes due to their outstanding osteogenic properties. However, the degradation rates of magnesium alloy bone implants documented in the literature tend to be rapid. Moreover, many studies focus only on the initial 3-month period post-implantation, limiting their applicability and impeding clinical adoption. Furthermore, scant attention has been given to the interplay between the degradation of magnesium alloy implants and the adjacent tissues. To address these gaps, this study employs a well-studied magnesium-aluminum (Mg-Al) alloy membrane with a slow degradation rate. This membrane is implanted into rat skull bone defects and monitored over an extended period of up to 48 weeks. Observations are conducted at various intervals (2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 weeks) following the implantation. Assessment of degradation behavior and tissue regeneration response is carried out using histological sections, micro-CT scans, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The findings reveal that the magnesium alloy membranes demonstrate remarkable biocompatibility and osteogenic capability over the entire observation duration. Specifically, the Mg-Al alloy membranes sustain their structural integrity for 8 weeks. Notably, their osteogenic ability is further enhanced as a corrosion product layer forms during the later stages of implantation. Additionally, our in vitro experiments employing extracts from the magnesium alloy display a significant osteogenic effect, accompanied by a notable increase in the expression of osteogenic-related genes. Collectively, these results strongly indicate the substantial potential of Mg-Al alloy membranes in the context of guided tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Spinel (magnesium aluminate MgAl2 O4 ) ceramic-based polyphasic composite scaffold has been recently reported for craniofacial bone tissue engineering. Improving the osteogenic effects of such composite scaffolds with bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP2) is an intensely researched area. This study investigated the gene interactions of this scaffold with BMP2 and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Human bone marrow MSCs were cultured in 3 groups: Group 1-Control (BMSCs), Group 2-BMSC with BMP2, and Group 3-BMSC with scaffold and BMP2. After RNA isolation, gene expression analysis was done by microarray. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) (-1.0 > fold changes>1 and p value <.05) were studied for their function and gene ontologies using Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID). They were further studied by protein-protein interaction network analysis using STRING and MCODE Cytoscape plugin database. Group 3 showed up regulation of 3222 genes against 2158 of Group 2. Group 3 had five annotation clusters with enrichment scores from 2.08 to 3.93. Group 2 had only one cluster. Group 3 showed activation of all major osteogenic pathways: TGF, BMP2, WNT, SMAD, and Notch gene signaling with effects of calcium and magnesium released from the scaffold. Downstream effect of all these caused significant activation of RUNX2, the key transcriptional regulator of osteogenesis in Group 3. STRING and MCODE Cytoscape plugin demonstrated the interactions. The enhanced MSC differentiation for osteogenesis with the addition of BMP2 to the polyphasic composite scaffold proposed promising clinical applications for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a promising material for use in orthopedic implants, but its bio-inert character and lack of antibacterial activity limit its applications in bone repair. In the present study, considering the advantages of PEEK in self-initiated graft polymerization and of hydrogels in bone tissue engineering, we constructed a hydrogel coating (GPL) consisting of Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), methacrylamide-modified ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PLMA) and Laponite on PEEK through UV-initiated crosslinking. The coating improved the hydrophilicity of PEEK, and the coating degraded slowly so that approximately 80% was retained after incubation in PBS for 8 weeks. In vitro studies revealed that as compared to culturing on PEEK, culturing on PEEK-GPL led to enhanced viability and adhesion of cultured human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs). Due to the synergistic effect of the micron-scale three-dimensional surface and Laponite, PEEK-GPL exhibited a significantly improved induction of osteogenic differentiation of hWJ-MSCs compared to PEEK, as demonstrated by increased alkaline phosphatase activity, matrix mineralization, and expression of osteogenesis-related genes. Furthermore, PEEK-GPL showed antibacterial activity upon contact with Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and this activity would be maintained before complete degradation of the hydrogel because the ε-PLMA was cross-linked covalently into the coating. Thus, PEEK-GPL achieved both osteogenesis and infection prevention in a single simple step, providing a feasible approach for the extensive use of PEEK in bone implants.

[PMID: 37517617 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.07.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 07/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/01/2023]
Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are commonly used in dental implants, which have good biocompatibility, mechanical strength, processability, and corrosion resistance. However, the surface inertia of Ti implants leads to delayed integration of Ti and new bone, as well as problems such as aseptic loosening and inadequate osseointegration. Magnesium (Mg) ions can promote bone regeneration, and many studies have used Mg-containing materials to modify the Ti implant surface. This systematic review summarizes the methods, effects, and clinical applications of surface modification of Ti implants with Mg-containing coatings. Database collection was completed on Janury 1, 2023, and a total of 29 relevant studies were ultimately included. Mg can be compounded with different materials and coated to the surface of Ti implants using different methods. In vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that Mg-containing coatings promote cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation. On the one hand, the surface roughness of implants increases with the addition of Mg-containing coatings, which is thought to have an impact on the osseointegration of the implant. On the other hand, Mg ions promote cell attachment through binding interactions between the integrin family and FAK-related signaling pathways. And Mg ions could induce osseointegration by activating PI3K, Notch, ERK/c-Fos, BMP-4-related signaling pathways and TRPM7 protein channels. Overall, Mg-based coatings show great potential for the surface modification of Ti implants to promote osseointegration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The inertia surface of titanium (Ti) implants leads to delayed osseointegration. Magnesium (Mg) ions, known for promoting bone regeneration, have been extensively studied to modify the surface of Ti implants. However, no consensus has been reached on the appropriate processing methods, surface roughness and effective concentration of Mg-containing coatings for osseointegration. This systematic review focus on the surface modification of Ti implants with Mg-containing compounds, highlighting the effects of Mg-containing coatings on the surface properties of Ti implants and its associated mechanisms. Besides, we also provide an outlook on future directions to promote the clinical application of Mg-modified implants.

Abstract
Metal ions provide multifunctional signals for cell and tissue functions, including regeneration. Inspired by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), nanosized silk protein aggregates with a high negative charge density are used to form stable silk-magnesium ion complexes. Magnesium ions (Mg ions) are added directly to silk nanoparticle solutions, inducing gelation through the formation of silk-Mg coordination complexes. The Mg ions are released slowly from the nanoparticles through diffusion, with sustained release via tuning the degradation or dissolution of the nanosized silk aggregates. Studies in vitro reveal a dose-dependent influence of Mg ions on angiogenic and anti-inflammatory functions. Silk-Mg ion complexes in the form of hydrogels also stimulate tissue regeneration with a reduced formation of scar tissue in vivo, suggesting potential utility in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) is an abnormal connection between the trachea and esophagus that severely impairs quality of life. Current treatment options have limitations, including conservative treatment, surgical repair, and esophageal stent implantation. Here, we introduced laponite (LP) nano-clay to improve chitosan-based hydrogels' rheological properties and mechanical properties and developed an endoscopically injectable nanocomposite shear-thinning hydrogel to seal and repair fistulas as an innovative material for the treatment of TEF. Excellent injectability, rheological properties, mechanical strength, self-healing, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and tissue repair characterize the new hydrogel. The introduction of LP nano-clay improves the gel kinetics problem of hydrogels to realize the sol-gel transition immediately after injection, avoiding gel flow to non-target sites. The addition of LA nano-clay can significantly improve the rheological properties and mechanical strength of hydrogels, and hydrogel with LP content of 3 % shows better comprehensive performance. The nanocomposite hydrogel also shows good cytocompatibility and can promote wound repair by promoting the migration of HEEC cells and the secretion of VEGF and FGF. These findings suggest that this nanocomposite hydrogel is a promising biomaterial for TEF treatment.

Abstract
Hydrogels are particularly suitable materials for loading drug delivery agents; their high water content provides a biocompatible environment for most biomolecules, and their cross-linked nature protects the loaded agents from damage. During delivery, the delivered substance usually needs to be released gradually over time, which can be achieved by degradable cross-linked chains. In recent years, biodegradable hydrogels have become a promising technology in new methods of disease treatment and drug delivery methods due to their many advantageous properties. This review briefly discusses the degradation mechanisms of different types of biodegradable hydrogel systems and introduces the specific applications of degradable hydrogels in several new methods of disease treatment and drug delivery methods.

Abstract
Fairly high concentrations of magnesium and lithium are conducive to improving the osteogenic and angiogenic capacities. In the current study, lithium-containing magnesium phosphate-based ceramics (AMP/LMPGs) were prepared from amorphous magnesium phosphate (AMP) at a low sintering temperature (650 °C), and the lithium/magnesium-containing phosphate glasses (LMPGs) were utilized as sintering additives. During the sintering procedure of AMP/LMPGs, the AMP reacted with LMPGs, producing new compounds. The AMP/LMPGs displayed nano-size grains and plentiful micropores. The addition of LMPGs noticeably increased the porosity as well as compressive strength of the AMP/LMPGs ceramics. The AMP/LMPGs sustainedly released Mg, P and Li ions, forming Mg-rich ionic microenvironment, which ameliorated cellular proliferation, osteogenic differentiation and proangiogenic capacities. The AMP/LMPGs ceramics with considerably high compressive strength, osteostimulation and proangiogenic effects were expected to efficiently regenerate the bone defects.

Abstract
The craniofacial region is composed of 23 bones, which provide crucial function in keeping the normal position of brain and eyeballs, aesthetics of the craniofacial complex, facial movements, and visual function. Given the complex geometry and architecture, craniofacial bone defects not only affect the normal craniofacial structure but also may result in severe craniofacial dysfunction. Therefore, the exploration of rapid, precise, and effective reconstruction of craniofacial bone defects is urgent. Recently, developments in advanced bone tissue engineering bring new hope for the ideal reconstruction of the craniofacial bone defects. This report, presenting a first-time comprehensive review of recent advances of biomaterials in craniofacial bone tissue engineering, overviews the modification of traditional biomaterials and development of advanced biomaterials applying to craniofacial reconstruction. Challenges and perspectives of biomaterial development in craniofacial fields are discussed in the end.

Abstract
The anti-washout ability of calcium phosphate cement (CPC) determines its effectiveness in clinical application. In the current research, the common method for improving the anti-washout ability of CPC is to add anti-washout polymer agents. Sodium polyacrylate powder is an excellent anti-washout agent but when bonded with CPC it basically degrades the anti-washout performance of CPC after γ-ray irradiation, and is widely used in the sterilization process of CPC products. Therefore, we propose a method for the preparation of a sodium polyacrylate solution through irradiation polymerization as curing solution for CPC. This method first uses γ-ray irradiation sterilization to improve the anti-washout ability of CPC directly. It not only avoids the adverse effects of γ-rays on anti-washout agents, but also the CPC blended using this sodium polyacrylate solution had good biological properties and injectability. It provides a new method for promoting the anti-washout properties of calcium phosphate cement, which is of great significance for expanding the clinical application of CPC.

Abstract
In recent years, bone materials and cement innovation have made extraordinary strides. Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) regenerates body tissues and repairs bone and dental defects. Since the presence of nanoparticles (NPs) increased the initial cement strength in terms of the reduction of porosity, magnesium (Mg) NPs were used because of their unique properties. In this study, the effects of various Mg NP percentages and sizes on reinforced cement thermal behavior and mechanical behavior are investigated using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation method. The changes of Young's modulus (YM), maximum temperature (MT), and ultimate strength (US) were investigated for this reason. The US, YM, and MT of the reinforced cement sample improved from 0.879 to 0.171 MPa to 1.326 and 0.255 MPa, respectively, and from 1321 to 1403 K by raising the NPs percentage to 4%. The radius increase of NPs to 16 Å enhanced the US, YM, and MT to 0.899 MPa, 0.179 MPa, and 1349 K. The MT decreased to 1275 K. The quantity and size of the Mg NPs significantly enhanced the mechanical behavior of the finished cement, according to the findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop a novel 3D printable polyether ether ketone (PEEK)-hydroxyapatite (HA)-magnesium orthosilicate (Mg2SiO4) composite material with enhanced properties for potential use in tumour, osteoporosis and other spinal conditions. We aim to evaluate biocompatibility and imaging compatibility of the material. METHODS Materials were prepared in three different compositions, namely composite A: 75 weight % PEEK, 20 weight % HA, 5 weight % Mg2SiO4; composite B: 70 weight% PEEK, 25 weight % HA, 5 weight % Mg2SiO4; and composite C: 65 weight % PEEK, 30 weight % HA, 5 weight % Mg2SiO4. The materials were processed to obtain 3D printable filament. Biomechanical properties were analysed as per ASTM standards and biocompatibility of the novel material was evaluated using indirect and direct cell cytotoxicity tests. Cell viability of the novel material was compared to PEEK and PEEK-HA materials. The novel material was used to 3D print a standard spine cage. Furthermore, the CT and MR imaging compatibility of the novel material cage vs PEEK and PEEK-HA cages were evaluated using a phantom setup. RESULTS Composite A resulted in optimal material processing to obtain a 3D printable filament, while composite B and C resulted in non-optimal processing. Composite A enhanced cell viability up to ~ 20% compared to PEEK and PEEK-HA materials. Composite A cage generated minimal/no artefacts on CT and MR imaging and the images were comparable to that of PEEK and PEEK-HA cages. CONCLUSION Composite A demonstrated superior bioactivity vs PEEK and PEEK-HA materials and comparable imaging compatibility vs PEEK and PEEK-HA. Therefore, our material displays an excellent potential to manufacture spine implants with enhanced mechanical and bioactive property.

Abstract
Biodegradable magnesium (Mg) alloys have been extensively investigated in orthopedic implants due to their suitable mechanical strength and high biocompatibility. However, no studies have reported whether Mg alloys can be used to repair lamina defects, and the biological mechanisms regulating osteogenesis are not fully understood. The present study developed a lamina reconstruction device using our patented biodegradable Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr alloy (JDBM), and brushite (CaHPO4·2H2O, Dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, DCPD) coating was developed on the implant. Through in vitro and in vivo experiments, we evaluated the degradation behavior and biocompatibility of DCPD-JDBM. In addition, we explored the potential molecular mechanisms by which it regulates osteogenesis. In vitro, ion release and cytotoxicity tests revealed that DCPD-JDBM had better corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. We found that DCPD-JDBM extracts could promote MC3T3-E1 osteogenic differentiation via the IGF2/PI3K/AKT pathway. The lamina reconstruction device was implanted on a rat lumbar lamina defect model. Radiographic and histological analysis showed that DCPD-JDBM accelerated the repair of rat lamina defects and exhibited lower degradation rate compared to uncoated JDBM. Immunohistochemical and qRT-PCR results showed that DCPD-JDBM promoted osteogenesis in rat laminae via IGF2/PI3K/AKT pathway. This study shows that DCPD-JDBM is a promising biodegradable Mg-based material with great potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Bone defects are often caused by trauma or surgery and can lead to delayed healing or even bone nonunion, thereby resulting in impaired function of the damaged site. Magnesium ions and related metallic materials play a crucial role in repairing bone defects, but the mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we induced the angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) with different concentrations of magnesium ions. The mechanism was investigated using γ-secretase inhibitor (DAPT) at different time points (7 and 14 days). Angiogenesis, differentiation, migration, and chemotaxis were detected using the tube formation assay, wound-healing assay, and Transwell assay. Besides, we analyzed mRNA expression and the angiogenesis-related protein levels of genes by RT-qPCR and western blot. We discovered that compared with other concentrations, the 5 mM magnesium ion concentration was more conducive to forming tubes. Additionally, hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (Hif-1α) and endothelial nitric oxide (eNOS) expression both increased (p < 0.05). After 7 and 14 days of induction, 5 mM magnesium ion group tube formation, migration, and chemotaxis were enhanced, and the expression of Notch pathway genes increased. Moreover, expression of the Notch target genes hairy and enhancer of split 1 (Hes1) and Hes5 (hairy and enhancer of split 5), as well as the angiogenesis-related genes Hif-1α and eNOS, were enhanced (p < 0.05). However, these trends did not occur when DAPT was applied. This indicates that 5 mM magnesium ion is the optimal concentration for promoting the angiogenesis and differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. By activating the Notch signaling pathway, magnesium ions up-regulate the downstream genes Hes1 and Hes5 and the angiogenesis-related genes Hif-1α and eNOS, thereby promoting the angiogenesis differentiation of BMSCs. Additionally, magnesium ion-induced differentiation enhances the migration and chemotaxis of BMSCs. Thus, we can conclude that magnesium ions and related metallic materials promote angiogenesis to repair bone defects. This provides the rationale for developing artificial magnesium-containing bone materials through tissue engineering.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) is a disease affecting the subchondral bone and the overlying articular cartilage. The etiology is most likely a combination of biological and mechanical factors. The incidence is highest in children >12 years old and it predominantly affects the knee. In high-grade OCD lesions, free osteochondral fragments usually are refixed via titanium screws or biodegradable screws or pins. In this case, headless compression screws made from magnesium were used for refixation. CASE REPORT A thirteen-year-old female patient with a two-year history of knee pain was diagnosed with an OCD lesion of the medial femoral condyle. After initial conservative treatment, displacement of the osteochondral fragment occurred. Refixation was performed using two headless magnesium compression screws. At the 6 months follow up, the patient was pain free, and the fragment showed progressive healing while the implants were biodegrading. DISCUSSION Existing implants for refixation of OCD lesions either require subsequent removal or show less stability and possible inflammatory reactions. The new generation of magnesium screws used in this case did not lead to a gas release, as described for previous magnesium implants, while maintaining stability during continuous biodegradation. CONCLUSIONS The data available to date on magnesium implants for the treatment of OCD are promising. However, the evidence on the magnesium implants in refixation surgery of OCD lesions is still limited. Further research needs to be conducted to provide data on outcomes and possible complications.

Acta Biomater 2023; 164:1-14. [PMID: 36972808 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.03.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2022] [Revised: 03/02/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023]
Abstract
Bone damage may be triggered by a variety of factors, and the damaged area often requires a bone graft. Bone tissue engineering can serve as an alternative strategy for repairing large bone defects. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), the progenitor cells of connective tissue, have become an important tool for tissue engineering due to their ability to differentiate into a variety of cell types. The precise regulation of the growth and differentiation of the stem cells used for bone regeneration significantly affects the efficiency of this type of tissue engineering. During the process of osteogenic induction, the dynamics and function of localized mitochondria are altered. These changes may also alter the microenvironment of the therapeutic stem cells and result in mitochondria transfer. Mitochondrial regulation not only affects the induction/rate of differentiation, but also influences its direction, determining the final identity of the differentiated cell. To date, bone tissue engineering research has mainly focused on the influence of biomaterials on phenotype and nuclear genotype, with few studies investigating the role of mitochondria. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of researches into the role of mitochondria in MSCs differentiation and critical analysis regarding smart biomaterials that are able to "programme" mitochondria modulation was proposed. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: : • This review proposed the precise regulation of the growth and differentiation of the stem cells used to seed bone regeneration. • This review addressed the dynamics and function of localized mitochondria during the process of osteogenic induction and the effect of mitochondria on the microenvironment of stem cells. • This review summarized biomaterials which affect the induction/rate of differentiation, but also influences its direction, determining the final identity of the differentiated cell through the regulation of mitochondria.

Effect of Nano- and Microzinc Supplementation on the Mineral Composition of Bones of Rats with Induced Mammary Gland Cancer. Foods 2023; 12:foods12061348. [PMID: 36981273 PMCID: PMC10047967 DOI: 10.3390/foods12061348] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine changes in the mineral composition of the bones of rats with chemically induced mammary gland cancer and to attempt to establish whether a specific diet modification involving the inclusion of zinc ions in two forms-nano and micro-will affect the mineral composition of the bones. METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were used for the research. The animals were randomly assigned to three experimental groups. All animals were fed a standard diet (Labofeed H), and selected groups additionally received zinc nanoparticles or microparticles in the amount of 4.6 mg/mL. To induce mammary cancer, the animals were given 7,12-dimethyl-1,2-benz[a]anthracene. The content of Ag, As, B, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Rb, Se, Sr, Tl, U, and V was determined using ICP-MS, while that of Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, and Zn was determined using FAAS. RESULTS The use of a diet enriched with zinc nano- or microparticles significantly influenced the content of the elements tested. In the bones of rats fed a diet with zinc nanoparticles, changes were found in the content of Ca, Mg, Zn, Cd, U, V, and Tl, while in the case of the diet supplemented with zinc microparticles, there were differences in six elements-Ca, Mg, B, Cd, Ag, and Pb-compared to animals receiving an unsupplemented diet. CONCLUSIONS The content of elements in the bone tissue of rats in the experimental model indicates disturbances of mineral metabolism in the tissue at an early stage of mammary cancer.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone defects is a significant challenge today. As alternative approaches to the autologous bone, scaffold materials have remarkable features in treating bone defects; however, the various properties of current scaffold materials still fall short of expectations. Due to the osteogenic capability of alkaline earth metals, their application in scaffold materials has become an effective approach to improving their properties. Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that combining alkaline earth metals leads to better osteogenic properties than applying them alone. In this review, the physicochemical and physiological characteristics of alkaline earth metals are introduced, mainly focusing on their mechanisms and applications in osteogenesis, especially magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba). Furthermore, this review highlights the possible cross-talk between pathways when alkaline earth metals are combined. Finally, some of the current drawbacks of scaffold materials are enumerated, such as the high corrosion rate of Mg scaffolds and defects in the mechanical properties of Ca scaffolds. Moreover, a brief perspective is also provided regarding future directions in this field. It is worth exploring that whether the levels of alkaline earth metals in newly regenerated bone differs from those in normal bone. The ideal ratio of each element in the bone tissue engineering scaffolds or the optimal concentration of each elemental ion in the created osteogenic environment still needs further exploration. The review not only summarizes the research developments in osteogenesis but also offers a direction for developing new scaffold materials.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has become a hopeful potential treatment strategy for large bone defects, including bone tumors, trauma, and extensive fractures, where the self-healing property of bone cannot repair the defect. Bone tissue engineering is composed of three main elements: progenitor/stem cells, scaffold, and growth factors/biochemical cues. Among the various biomaterial scaffolds, hydrogels are broadly used in bone tissue engineering owing to their biocompatibility, controllable mechanical characteristics, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive properties. During bone tissue engineering, angiogenesis plays a central role in the failure or success of bone reconstruction via discarding wastes and providing oxygen, minerals, nutrients, and growth factors to the injured microenvironment. This review presents an overview of bone tissue engineering and its requirements, hydrogel structure and characterization, the applications of hydrogels in bone regeneration, and the promising roles of hydrogels in bone angiogenesis during bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Silk fibroin is regarded as a promising biomaterial in various areas, including bone tissue regeneration. Herein, Laponite® (LAP), which can promote osteogenic differentiation, was introduced into regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) to prepare an RSF/LAP hybrid hydrogel. This thixotropic hydrogel is injectable during the operation process, which is favorable for repairing bone defects. Our previous work demonstrated that the RSF/LAP hydrogel greatly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro. In the present study, the RSF/LAP hydrogel was found to have excellent biocompatibility and significantly improved new bone formation in a standard rat calvarial defect model in vivo. Additionally, the underlying biological mechanism of the RSF/LAP hydrogel in promoting osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was extensively explored. The results indicate that the RSF/LAP hydrogels provide suitable conditions for the adhesion and proliferation of BMSCs, showing good biocompatibility in vitro. With the increase in LAP content, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mRNA and protein expression of the osteogenic markers of BMSCs improved significantly. Protein kinase B (AKT) pathway activation was found to be responsible for the inherent osteogenic properties of the RSF/LAP hybrid hydrogel. Therefore, the results shown in this study firmly suggest such an injectable RSF/LAP hydrogel with good biocompatibility (both in vitro and in vivo) would have good application prospects in the field of bone regeneration.

Abstract
Tendon-bone insertion (TBI) injuries are common, primarily involving the rotator cuff (RC) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). At present, repair surgery and reconstructive surgery are the main treatments, and the main factor determining the curative effect of surgery is postoperative tendon-bone healing, which requires the stable combination of the transplanted tendon and the bone tunnel to ensure the stability of the joint. Fibrocartilage and bone formation are the main physiological processes in the bone marrow tract. Therefore, therapeutic measures conducive to these processes are likely to be applied clinically to promote tendon-bone healing. In recent years, biomaterials and compounds, stem cells, cell factors, platelet-rich plasma, exosomes, physical therapy, and other technologies have been widely used in the study of promoting tendon-bone healing. This review provides a comprehensive summary of strategies used to promote tendon-bone healing and analyses relevant preclinical and clinical studies. The potential application value of these strategies in promoting tendon-bone healing was also discussed.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) patients have a poor prognosis due to its high degree of heterogeneity and high rate of metastasis. Magnetic hyperthermia therapy (MHT) combined with immunotherapy is an effective strategy to treat solid and metastatic tumors. Here, we combined biodegradable magnesium (Mg) macroscale rods, which acted as an eddy thermo-magnetic agent under a low external alternating magnetic field, and immunotherapy to achieve a radical cure for OS. The eddy thermal effect (ETE) of the Mg rods (MgR) showed outstanding cytotoxic effects and enhanced the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), and the mild MHT induced the immunogenic cell death (ICD) in the OS cells. Combined with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy, we obtained an excellent curative effect against OS, and a further evaluation demonstrated that the local MHT induced by the MgR increased T cells infiltration and the polarization of M1 macrophages. Interestingly, the biodegradable MgR also promoted bone osteogenesis. Our work highlighted the uneven ETE mediated by the biodegradable MgR induced a comprehensive immunologic activation in the OS tumor microenvironment (TME), which would inspire the application of MHT for the effective treatment of OS.
