Abstract
Cell-laden hydrogels have been extensively investigated in various tissue engineering fields by their potential capacity to deposit numerous types of cells in a specific area. They are largely used in soft-tissue engineering applications because of their low mechanical strength. In addition, sodium alginate is well-known for its encapsulation, loading capacity and for being easily controllable; however, it lacks cell-binding ligands and hence the ability to adhere cells. In this study, it is aimed to enhance osteogenesis in cells encapsulated in alginate and improve its mechanical properties by introducing a synthetic peptide and calcium phosphate phase transition. To increase cell-hydrogel interactions and increasing cell viability, an RGD peptide is added to a photocrosslinkable methacrylate-modified alginate, and alpha-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) is added to the hydrogel to increase its mechanical strength via phase transition. Cell proliferation, growth, and differentiation are assessed in both 2D and 3D cell cultures. The addition of α-TCP significantly improved the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. Moreover, the RGD peptide and α-TCP showed a synergistic effect with significantly improved cell adhesion and osteogenesis in both 2D and 3D cell cultures. Therefore, the functional hydrogel developed in this study can potentially be used for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Titanium and titanium alloys are widely favored materials for orthopedic implants due to their exceptional mechanical properties and biological inertness. The additional benefit of sustained local release of bioactive substances further promotes bone tissue formation, thereby augmenting the osseointegration capacity of titanium implants and attracting increasing attention in bone tissue engineering. Among these bioactive substances, growth factors have shown remarkable osteogenic and angiogenic induction capabilities. Consequently, researchers have developed various physical, chemical, and biological loading techniques to incorporate growth factors into titanium implants, ensuring controlled release kinetics. In contrast to conventional treatment modalities, the localized release of growth factors from functionalized titanium implants not only enhances osseointegration but also reduces the risk of complications. This review provides a comprehensive examination of the types and mechanisms of growth factors, along with a detailed exploration of the methodologies used to load growth factors onto the surface of titanium implants. Moreover, it highlights recent advancements in the application of growth factors to the surface of titanium implants (Scheme 1). Finally, the review discusses current limitations and future prospects for growth factor-functionalized titanium implants. In summary, this paper presents cutting-edge design strategies aimed at enhancing the bone regenerative capacity of growth factor-functionalized titanium implants-a significant advancement in the field of enhanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
Methods for promoting and controlling the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in vitro before in vivo transplantation are crucial for the advancement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we developed poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties, including elasticity and viscoelasticity, coupled with bioactivity achieved through the immobilization of a mixture of RGD and a mimetic peptide of the BMP-2 protein. Despite the key relevance of hydrogel mechanical properties for cell culture, a standard for its characterization has not been proposed, and comparisons between studies are challenging due to the different techniques employed. Here, a comprehensive approach was employed to characterize the elasticity and viscoelasticity of these hydrogels, integrating compression testing, rheology, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) microindentation. Distinct mechanical behaviors were observed across different PEGDA compositions, and some consistent trends across multiple techniques were identified. Using a photoactivated cross-linker, we controlled the functionalization density independently of the mechanical properties. X-ray photoelectrin spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy were employed to evaluate the functionalization density of the materials before the culturing of hMSCs on them. The cells cultured on all functionalized hydrogels expressed an early osteoblast marker (Runx2) after 2 weeks, even in the absence of a differentiation-inducing medium compared to our controls. Additionally, after only 1 week of culture with osteogenic differentiation medium, cells showed accelerated differentiation, with clear morphological differences observed among cells in the different conditions. Notably, cells on stiff but stress-relaxing hydrogels exhibited an overexpression of the osteocyte marker E11. This suggests that the combination of the functionalization procedure with the mechanical properties of the hydrogel provides a potent approach to promoting the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
Biomaterial surface engineering and the integration of cell-adhesive ligands are crucial in biological research and biotechnological applications. The interplay between cells and their microenvironment, influenced by chemical and physical cues, impacts cellular behavior. Surface modification of biomaterials profoundly affects cellular responses, especially at the cell-surface interface. This work focuses on enhancing cellular activities through material manipulation, emphasizing silanization for further functionalization with bioactive molecules such as RGD peptides to improve cell adhesion. The grafting of three distinct silanes onto silicon wafers using both spin coating and immersion methods was investigated. This study sheds light on the effects of different alkyl chain lengths and protecting groups on cellular behavior, providing valuable insights into optimizing silane-based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) before peptide or protein grafting for the first time. Specifically, it challenges the common use of APTES molecules in this context. These findings advance our understanding of surface modification strategies, paving the way for tailoring biomaterial surfaces to modulate the cellular behavior for diverse biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Collagen with its bioactive ligand motives would be predestined as coating on bone implant surfaces like titanium hip stems to facilitate receptor-mediated cell adhesion and thereby improve early osseointegration. Unfortunately, collagen as coating exhibits very low proteolytic resistance in vivo. To overcome this limitation, different crosslinking methods of collagen (transglutaminase, GTA, EDC/NHS, riboflavin, and lysyl oxidase) with silanized titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) were investigated in terms of degradation resistance, hydrolysis stability, tensile strength, and metabolic cell activity. The in vitro osteogenic differentiation ability of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) induced by the surface modification was evaluated by immunofluorescence of early osteogenic markers, Alizarin red staining, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The expression of the adhesion-related protein vinculin was analyzed on the different functionalized surfaces. The results revealed that the enzymatic crosslinker transglutaminase offered high degradation resistance, tensile strength, and hydrolysis stability compared to the other crosslinking reagents tested. Remarkably, the adhesion sequences within the collagen were accessible to the hMSCs despite the transglutaminase crosslinking procedure. In conclusion, the organochemical functionalization of Ti6Al4V surfaces with collagen using transglutaminase holds great potential to facilitate an enhanced interaction with attached bone cells and thereby could potentially improve and accelerate osseointegration of a titanium-based bone implant in vivo.

Abstract
Plant virus nanoparticles (VNPs) genetically engineered to present osteogenic cues provide a promising method for biofunctionalizing hydrogels in bone tissue engineering. Flexible Potato virus X (PVX) nanoparticles substantially enhance the attachment and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) by presenting the RGD motif, hydroxyapatite-binding peptide (HABP), or consecutive polyglutamates (E8) in a concentration-dependent manner. Therefore, it is hypothesized that Tobacco mosaic virus nanoparticles, which present 1.6 times more functional peptides than PVX, will meliorate such an impact. This study hypothesizes that cultivating hMSCs on a surface coated with a combination of two VNPs presenting peptides for either cell attachment or mineralization can achieve additionally enhancing effects on osteogenesis. Calcium minerals deposited by differentiating hMSCs increases two to threefold for this combination, while the Alkaline Phosphatase activity of hMSCs grown on the PVX-RGD/PVX-HABP-coated surface significantly surpasses any other VNP combination. Superior additive effects are observed for the first time by employing a combination of VNPs with varying functionalities. It is found that the flexible VNP geometry plays a more critical role than the concentration of functional peptides. In conclusion, various peptide-presenting plant VNPs exhibit an additive enhancing effect offering significant potential for effectively functionalizing cell-containing hydrogels in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Melt extrusion-based additive manufacturing (ME-AM) is a promising technique to fabricate porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. However, most synthetic semicrystalline polymers do not possess the intrinsic biological activity required to control cell fate. Grafting of biomolecules on polymeric surfaces of AM scaffolds enhances the bioactivity of a construct; however, there are limited strategies available to control the surface density. Here, we report a strategy to tune the surface density of bioactive groups by blending a low molecular weight poly(ε-caprolactone)5k (PCL5k) containing orthogonally reactive azide groups with an unfunctionalized high molecular weight PCL75k at different ratios. Stable porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds were then fabricated using a high weight percentage (75 wt.%) of the low molecular weight PCL5k. As a proof-of-concept test, we prepared films of three different mass ratios of low and high molecular weight polymers with a thermopress and reacted with an alkynated fluorescent model compound on the surface, yielding a density of 201-561 pmol/cm2. Subsequently, a bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)-derived peptide was grafted onto the films comprising different blend compositions, and the effect of peptide surface density on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) was assessed. After two weeks of culturing in a basic medium, cells expressed higher levels of BMP receptor II (BMPRII) on films with the conjugated peptide. In addition, we found that alkaline phosphatase activity was only significantly enhanced on films containing the highest peptide density (i.e., 561 pmol/cm2), indicating the importance of the surface density. Taken together, these results emphasize that the density of surface peptides on cell differentiation must be considered at the cell-material interface. Moreover, we have presented a viable strategy for ME-AM community that desires to tune the bulk and surface functionality via blending of (modified) polymers. Furthermore, the use of alkyne-azide "click" chemistry enables spatial control over bioconjugation of many tissue-specific moieties, making this approach a versatile strategy for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The development of 2D or 3D bioactive platforms for rapidly isolating pure populations of cells from adult stem cells holds promise for advancing the understanding of cellular mechanisms, drug testing, and tissue engineering. Over the years, methods have emerged to synthesize bioactive micro- and nanostructured 2D materials capable of directing stem cell fate. We introduce a novel method for randomly micro- or nanopatterning any protein/peptide onto both 2D and 3D scaffolds via spray technology. Our goal is to investigate the impact of arranging bioactive micropatterns (ordered vs disordered) on surfaces to guide human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation. The spray technology efficiently coats materials with controlled, cost-effective bioactive micropatterns in various sizes and shapes. BMP-2 mimetic peptides were covalently grafted, individually or in combination with RGD peptides, onto activated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surfaces through a spraying process, incorporating nano/microscale parameters like size, shape, and composition. The study explores different peptide distributions on surfaces and various peptide combinations. Four surfaces were homogeneously functionalized with these peptides (M1 to M4 with various densities of peptides), and six surfaces with disordered micro- and nanopatterns of peptides (S0 to S5 with different sizes of peptide patterns) were synthesized. Fluorescence microscopy assessed peptide distribution, followed by hMSC culture for 2 weeks, and evaluated osteogenic differentiation via immunocytochemistry and RT-qPCR for osteoblast and osteocyte markers. Cells on uniformly peptide-functionalized surfaces exhibited cuboidal forms, while those on surfaces with disordered patterns tended toward columnar or cuboidal shapes. Surfaces S4 and S5 showed dendrite-like formations resembling an osteocyte morphology. S5 showed significant overexpression of osteoblast (OPN) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and SOST) compared to control surfaces and other micropatterned surfaces. Notably, despite sharing an equivalent quantity of peptides with a homogeneous functionalized surface, S5 displayed a distinct distribution of peptides, resulting in enhanced osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
To provide a long-term solution for increasing the biocompatibility of neuroprosthetics, approaches to reduce the side effects of invasive neuro-implantable devices are still in need of improvement. Physical, chemical, and bioactive design aspects of the biomaterials are proven to be important for providing proper cell-to-cell, cell-to-material interactions. Particularly, modification of implant surfaces with bioactive cues, especially cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) that capitalize on native neural adhesion mechanisms, are promising candidates in favor of providing efficient interfaces. Within this concept, this study utilized specific CAMs, namely N-Cadherin (Neural cadherin, N-Cad) and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), to enhance neuron-electrode contact by mimicking the cell-to-ECM interactions for improving the survival of cells and promoting neurite outgrowth. For this purpose, representative gold electrode surfaces were modified with N-Cadherin, NCAM, and the mixture (1:1) of these molecules. Modifications were characterized, and the effect of surface modification on both differentiated and undifferentiated neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cell lines were compared. The findings demonstrated the successful modification of these molecules which subsequently exhibited biocompatible properties as evidenced by the cell viability results. In cell culture experiments, the CAMs displayed promising results in promoting neurite outgrowth compared to conventional poly-l-lysine coated surfaces, especially NCAM and N-Cad/NCAM modified surfaces clearly showed significant improvement. Overall, this optimized approach is expected to provide an insight into the action mechanisms of cells against the local environment and advance processes for the fabrication of alternative neural interfaces.

The use of integrin binding domain loaded hydrogel (RGD) with minimally invasive surgical technique in treatment of periodontal intrabony defect: a randomized clinical and biochemical study. J Appl Oral Sci 2023; 31:e20230263. [PMID: 38126565 PMCID: PMC10786453 DOI: 10.1590/1678-7757-2023-0263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal regeneration faces multiple challenges, the most important being cellular insufficiency. In an attempt to improve defect cellularity, we aimed to demonstrate enhancing cellular attraction using arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) adhesion molecule legend blended hydrogel within the intrabony defects. METHODOLOGY Forty-five intrabony defects were selected from patients with stage III or IV - grade A or B periodontitis and divided randomly into three equal groups of 15 each: group1 (G1): received minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) alone, group2 (G2): received MIST and placebo hydrogel injection, and group3 (G3): were treated with MIST and RGD hydrogel injection. Primary outcomes 6 months following therapy were; defect base fill (DBF) and defect width measurement (DW); secondary outcomes were clinical attachment level (CAL), pocket depth (PD), plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), and biochemical analysis of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) evaluated at 1,7,14 and 21 days following therapy. RESULTS Significant improvements in DBF, CAL, and PD were observed in the three studied groups 6 months following therapy compared to baseline (p<0.05). A significant improvement in DBF was reported in G3 compared to G1 and 2 (p=0.005). Additionally, a significantly higher CAL gain was reported in G3 compared to that of G1 (p=0.02). Group 3 was associated with a significantly higher level of BMP-2 compared to G1 and G2 in all reported periods. CONCLUSION RGD peptide carried on a hydrogel delivery agent and contained with a minimally invasive flap could be a reliable option in improving the outcomes of periodontal therapy.

Abstract
Ideal bone tissue engineering is to induce bone regeneration through the synergistic integration of biomaterial scaffolds, bone progenitor cells, and bone-forming factors. Biomimetic scaffolds imitate the native extracellular matrix (ECM) and are often utilized in vitro as analogues of the natural ECM to facilitate investigations of cell-ECM interactions and processes. In vivo, the cellular microenvironment has a crucial impact on regulating cell behavior and functions. A PET surface was activated and then functionalized with mimetic peptides to promote human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) adhesion and differentiation into an osteogenic lineage. Spray technology was used to randomly micropattern peptides (RGD and BMP-2 mimetic peptides) on the PET surface. The distribution of the peptides grafted on the surface, the roughness of the surfaces and the chemistry of the surfaces in each step of the treatment were ascertained by atomic force microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, Toluidine Blue O assay, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Subsequently, cell lineage differentiation was evaluated by quantifying the expression of immunofluorescence markers: osteoblast markers (Runx-2, OPN) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and SOST). In this article, we hypothesized that a unique combination of bioactive micro/nanopatterns on a polymer surface improves the rate of morphology change and enhances hMSC differentiation. In DMEM, after 14 days, disordered micropatterned surfaces with RGD and BMP-2 led to a higher osteoblast marker expression than surfaces with a homogeneous dual peptide conjugation. Finally, hMSCs cultured in osteogenic differentiation medium (ODM) showed accelerated cell differentiation. In ODM, our results highlighted the expression of osteocyte markers when hMSCs were seeded on PET surfaces with random micropatterns.

Abstract
Stem cell adhesion is mediated via the binding of integrin receptors to adhesion motifs present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The spatial organization of adhesion ligands plays an important role in stem cell integrin-mediated adhesion. In this study, we developed a series of biointerfaces using arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-RGD) to study the effect of RGD adhesion ligand global density (ligand coverage over the surface), spacing, and RGD clustering levels on stem cell adhesion and differentiation. To prepare the biointerface, MSNs were chemically functionalized with RGD peptides via an antifouling poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) linker. The RGD surface functionalization ratio could be controlled to create MSNs with high and low RGD ligand clustering levels. MSN films with varying RGD global densities could be created by blending different ratios of MSN-RGD and non-RGD-functionalized MSNs together. A computational simulation study was performed to analyze nanoparticle distribution and RGD spacing on the resulting surfaces to determine experimental conditions. Enhanced cell adhesion and spreading were observed when RGD global density increased from 1.06 to 5.32 nmol cm-2 using highly clustered RGD-MSN-based films. Higher RGD ligand clustering levels led to larger cell spreading and increased formation of focal adhesions. Moreover, a higher RGD ligand clustering level promoted the expression of alkaline phosphatase in hMSCs. Overall, these findings indicate that both RGD global density and clustering levels are crucial variables in regulating stem cell behaviors. This study provides important information about ligand-integrin interactions, which could be implemented into biomaterial design to achieve optimal performance of adhesive functional peptides.

Abstract
Tuberculosis remains one of the major health problems worldwide. Besides the lungs, tuberculosis affects other organs, including bones and joints. In the case of bone tuberculosis, current treatment protocols include necrectomy in combination with conventional anti-tuberculosis therapy, followed by reconstruction of the resulting bone defects. In this study, we compared autografting and implantation with a biodegradable composite scaffold for bone-defect regeneration in a tuberculosis rabbit model. Porous three-dimensional composite materials were prepared by 3D printing and consisted of poly(ε-caprolactone) filled with nanocrystalline cellulose modified with poly(glutamic acid). In addition, rabbit mesenchymal stem cells were adhered to the surface of the composite scaffolds. The developed tuberculosis model was verified by immunological subcutaneous test, real-time polymerase chain reaction, biochemical markers and histomorphological study. Infected animals were randomly divided into three groups, representing the infection control and two experimental groups subjected to necrectomy, anti-tuberculosis treatment, and plastic surgery using autografts or 3D-composite scaffolds. The lifetime observation of the experimental animals and analysis of various biochemical markers at different time periods allowed the comparison of the state of the animals between the groups. Micro-computed tomography and histomorphological analysis enabled the evaluation of osteogenesis, inflammation and cellular changes between the groups, respectively.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering aims to diversify and enhance the strategies for bone regeneration to overcome bone-related health problems. Bone mimetic peptides such as Gly-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGD) are useful tools for osteogenic differentiation. Similarly, photobiomodulation (PBM) at 600-800 nm of wavelength range improves bone tissue healing via the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), ATP synthesis, and nitric oxide (NO) release. Besides, traditional monolayer cell culture models have limited conditions to exhibit the details of a mechanism such as a peptide or PBM therapy. However, scaffold-free microtissues (SFMs) can mimic a tissue more properly and be an efficient way to understand the mechanism of therapy via cell-cell interaction. Thus, the synergistic effects of RGD peptide (1 mM) and PBM applications (1 J/cm2 energy density at 655 nm of wavelength and 5 J/cm2 energy density at 808 nm of wavelength) were evaluated on SFMs formed with the co-culture of Human Bone Marrow Stem Cells (hBMSC) and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) for osteogenic differentiation. Cell viability assays, mechanistic analysis, and the evaluation of osteogenic differentiation markers were performed. Combined therapies of RGD and PBM were more successful to induce osteogenic differentiation than single therapies. Especially, RGD + PBM at 655 nm group exhibited a higher capability of osteogenic differentiation via ROS production, ATP synthesis, and NO release. It can be concluded that the concomitant use of RGD and PBM may enhance bone regeneration and become a promising therapeutic tool to heal bone-related problems in clinics.

Abstract
The clinical efficacy of ESWT in treating bone non union has been widely recognized, but the biological mechanism of ESWT promoting bone non union healing is still unclear. ESWT can make old callus micro fracture through mechanical conduction, form subperiosteal hematoma, promote the release of bioactive factors, reactivate the fracture healing mechanism, rebalance the activities of osteoblasts and osteoclast, promote the angiogenesis of fracture site, and accelerate the healing of bone nonunion.Over recent years, great efforts have been made by both scientists and clinicians to explore the underlying mechanism behind the healing effect of ESWT on bone fractures. In this review, we introduced the growth factors during osteogenesis induced by ESWT hoping to provide new insights in the clinical use of ESWT.

Abstract
The long-term success of intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prostheses (ITAPs) mainly relies on dermal attachment of skin cells to the implant. Otherwise, bacteria can easily penetrate through the interface between the implant and the skin. Therefore, infection at this implant/skin interface remains a significant complication in orthopedic surgeries in which these prostheses are required. Two main strategies were investigated to prevent these potential infection problems which consist in either establishing a strong sealing at the skin/implant interface or on eradicating infections by killing bacteria. In this work, two adhesion peptides, either KRGDS or KYIGSR and one antimicrobial peptide, Magainin 2 (Mag 2), were covalently grafted via phosphonate anchor arms to the surface of the Ti6Al4V ELI (extra low interstitials) material, commonly used to manufacture ITAPs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle, and confocal microscopy analyses enabled to validate the covalent and stable grafting of these three peptides. Dermal fibroblasts cultures on bare Ti6Al4V ELI surfaces and functionalized ones displayed a good cell adhesion and proliferation on all samples. However, cell spreading and viability appeared to be improved on grafted surfaces, especially for those conjugated with KRGDS and Mag 2. Moreover, the dermal sheet attachment, was significantly higher on surfaces functionalized with Mag 2 as compared to the other surfaces. Therefore, the surface functionalization with the antimicrobial peptide Mag 2 seems to be the best approach for the targeted application, as it could play a dual role, inducing a strong skin adhesion while limiting infections on Ti6Al4V ELI materials.

Abstract
Bone defects are common in orthopaedics and there is an urgent need to explore effective bone repair materials with osteoinductive activity. Peptide self-assembled nanomaterials have a fibrous structure like that of the extracellular matrix and are ideal bionic scaffold materials. In this study, a short peptide WP9QY (W9) with strong osteoinductive effect was tagged to a self-assembled peptide RADA16 molecule through solid phase synthesis to design a RADA16-W9 peptide gel scaffold. A rat cranial defect was used as a research model to explore the effect of this peptide material on the repair of bone defects in vivo. The structure characteristic of the functional self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel scaffold RADA16-W9 was evaluated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Then adipose stem cells (ASCs) were isolated from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat and cultured. the cellular compatibility of scaffold was evaluated through Live/Dead assay. Furthermore, we explore the effects of hydrogels in vivo with the critical-sized mouse calvarial defect model. Micro-CT analysis showed that the RADA16-W9 group had higher levels of bone volume/total volume (BV/TV) (P < 0.05),Trabecular number(TB.N) (P < 0.05),bone mineral density (BMD)(P < 0.05) and trabecular thickness (Tb. Th) (P < 0.05) compared with the RADA16 and PBS groups. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining showed that RADA16-W9 group had the highest bone regeneration level. Histochemical staining showed significantly higher expression levels of osteogenic factors such as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and osteocalcin (OCN) in the RADA16-W9 group than in the other two groups (P < 0.05). Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) quantification showed higher mRNA expression levels of osteogenic-related genes ALP, Runt-related transcription factor 2(Runx2), OCN, Osteopontin (OPN) in the RADA16-W9 group than in the RADA16 and PBS groups (P < 0.05). The live/dead staining results showed that RADA16-W9 is not toxic to rASCs and has good biocompatibility. In vivo experiments show that it accelerates the process of bone reconstruction, significantly promoting bone regeneration and can be used to develop a molecular drug for bone defect repair.

[PMID: 36764131 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Peptides, short protein fragments, can emulate the functions of their full-length native counterparts. Peptides are considered potent recombinant protein alternatives due to their specificity, high stability, low production cost, and ability to be easily tailored and immobilized. Stem cell proliferation and differentiation processes are orchestrated by an intricate interaction between numerous growth factors and proteins and their target receptors and ligands. Various growth factors, functional proteins, and cellular matrix-derived peptides efficiently enhance stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and directed differentiation. For that, peptides can be immobilized on a culture plate or conjugated to scaffolds, such as hydrogels or synthetic matrices. In this review, we assess the applications of a variety of peptides in stem cell adhesion, culture, organoid assembly, proliferation, and differentiation, describing the shortcomings of recombinant proteins and their full-length counterparts. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges of peptide applications in stem cell culture and materials design, as well as provide a brief outlook on future directions to advance peptide applications in boosting stem cell quality and scalability for clinical applications in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Conventional intake of drugs and active substances is most often based on oral intake of an appropriate dose to achieve the desired effect in the affected area or source of pain. In this case, controlling their distribution in the body is difficult, as the substance also reaches other tissues. This phenomenon results in the occurrence of side effects and the need to increase the concentration of the therapeutic substance to ensure it has the desired effect. The scientific field of tissue engineering proposes a solution to this problem, which creates the possibility of designing intelligent systems for delivering active substances precisely to the site of disease conversion. The following review discusses significant current research strategies as well as examples of polymeric and composite carriers for protein and non-protein biomolecules designed for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Peptides can introduce new functions to biomaterials but their immobilization usually relies on inefficient physical adsorption or tedious chemical conjugation. Using the Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) membrane (SFm) as a model biomaterial, here, we demonstrate a universal strategy for discovering new peptides that can "stick" to a biomaterial to functionalize it. Specifically, two peptide motifs, one screened by phage display biopanning for binding to the biomaterial (i.e., SF) and another derived from an osteogenic growth factor (i.e., bone morphogenetic protein-2), are fused into a new chimeric peptide that can bind to SFm for more efficient osteogenesis. Theoretical simulations and experimental assays confirm that the chimeric peptide binds to SF with high affinity, facilely achieving its immobilization onto SFm. The peptide enables SFm to effectively induce osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) even without other osteogenic inducers and efficiently stimulate bone regeneration in a subcutaneous rat model in 8 weeks, even without MSC seeding, while not causing inflammatory responses. Since biomaterial-binding peptides can be readily screened using phage display and functional peptides can be generated from growth factors, our work suggests a universal strategy for combining them to seek new peptides for binding and functionalizing biomaterials.

Abstract
Human cells, especially stem cells, need to communicate and interact with extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, which not only serve as structural components but also guide and support cell fate and properties such as cell adhesion, proliferation, survival and differentiation. The binding of the cells with ECM proteins or ECM-derived peptides via cell adhesion receptors such as integrins activates several signaling pathways that determine the cell fate, morphological change, proliferation and differentiation. The development of synthetic ECM protein-derived peptides that mimic the biological and biochemical functions of natural ECM proteins will benefit academic and clinical application. Peptides derived from or inspired by specific ECM proteins can act as agonists of each ECM protein receptor. Given that most ECM proteins function in cell adhesion via integrin receptors, many peptides have been developed that bind to specific integrin receptors. In this review, we discuss the peptide sequence, immobilization design, reaction method, and functions of several ECM protein-derived peptides. Various peptide sequences derived from mainly ECM proteins, which are used for coating or grafting on dishes, scaffolds, hydrogels, implants or nanofibers, have been developed to improve the adhesion, proliferation or differentiation of stem cells and to culture differentiated cells. This review article will help to inform the optimal choice of ECM protein-derived peptides for the development of scaffolds, implants, hydrogels, nanofibers and 2D cell culture dishes to regulate the proliferation and direct the differentiation of stem cells into specific lineages.

Abstract
Cell-material interactions are regulated by mimicking bone extracellular matrix on the surface of biomaterials. In this regard, reproducing the extracellular conditions that promote integrin and growth factor (GF) signaling is a major goal to trigger bone regeneration. Thus, the use of synthetic osteogenic domains derived from bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is gaining increasing attention, as this strategy is devoid of the clinical risks associated with this molecule. In this work, the wrist and knuckle epitopes of BMP-2 are screened to identify peptides with potential osteogenic properties. The most active sequences (the DWIVA motif and its cyclic version) are combined with the cell adhesive RGD peptide (linear and cyclic variants), to produce tailor-made biomimetic peptides presenting the bioactive cues in a chemically and geometrically defined manner. Such multifunctional peptides are next used to functionalize titanium surfaces. Biological characterization with mesenchymal stem cells demonstrates the ability of the biointerfaces to synergistically enhance cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, in vivo studies in rat calvarial defects prove the capacity of the biomimetic coatings to improve new bone formation and reduce fibrous tissue thickness. These results highlight the potential of mimicking integrin-GF signaling with synthetic peptides, without the need for exogenous GFs.

Abstract
The 3D printed porous titanium alloy scaffolds are beneficial to enhance angiogenesis, osteoblast adhesion, and promote osseointegration. However, titanium alloys are biologically inert, which makes the bond between the implant and bone tissue weak and prone to loosening. Inspired by the natural biological marine mussels, we designed four-claw-shaped mussel-derived bioactive peptides for the decoration of porous titanium alloy scaffolds: adhesion peptide-DOPA, anchoring peptide-RGD and osteogenic-inducing peptide-BMP-2. And the bifunctionalization of 3D-printed porous titanium alloy scaffolds was evaluated in vivo in a rabbit model of bone defect with excellent promotion of osseointegration and mechanical stability. Our results show that the in vivo osseointegration ability of the modified 3D printed porous titanium alloy test piece is significantly improved, and the bifunctional polypeptide coating group E has the strongest osseointegration ability. In conclusion, our experimental design partially solves the problems of stress shielding effect and biological inertness, and provides a convenient and feasible method for the clinical application of titanium alloy implants in biomedical implant materials.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the stiffness and stress relaxation of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Varying the amount of the crosslinker and the ratio between the monomers enabled the obtainment of hydrogels with controlled mechanical properties, as characterized using unconfined compression and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Subsequently, the surface of the hydrogels was functionalized with a mimetic peptide of the BMP-2 protein, in order to favor the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Finally, hMSCs were cultured on the hydrogels with different stiffness and stress relaxation: 15 kPa - 15%, 60 kPa - 15%, 140 kPa - 15%, 100 kPa - 30%, and 140 kPa - 70%. The cells on hydrogels with stiffnesses from 60 kPa to 140 kPa presented a star-like shape, typical of osteocytes, which has only been reported by our group for two-dimensional substrates. Then, the extent of hMSC differentiation was evaluated by using immunofluorescence and by quantifying the expression of both osteoblast markers (Runx-2 and osteopontin) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and sclerostin). It was found that a stiffness of 60 kPa led to a higher expression of osteocyte markers as compared to stiffnesses of 15 and 140 kPa. Finally, the strongest expression of osteoblast and osteocyte differentiation markers was observed for the hydrogel with a high relaxation of 70% and a stiffness of 140 kPa.

Background: This study was aimed to investigate the effect of three dimensional (3D)printed poly lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) scaffolds combined with Gly-Phe-Hyp-Gly-Arg (GFOGER) and bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP-9) on the repair of large bone defects. Methods: 3D printing method was used to produce PLGA scaffolds, and the sample was viewed by both optical microscopy and SEM, XRD analysis, water absorption and compressive strength analysis, etc. The rabbits were divided into six groups randomly and bone defect models were constructed (6 mm in diameter and 9 mm in depth): control group (n = 2), sham group (n = 4), model group (n = 4) and model + scaffold group (n = 4 rabbits for each group, 0%,2% and 4%). The rabbits were sacrificed at the 4th and 12th weeks after surgery, and the samples were collected for quantitative analysis of new bone mineral density by micro-CT, histopathological observation, immunohistochemistry and Western blot to detect the protein expression of osteoblast-related genes. Results: This scaffold presented acceptable mechanical properties and slower degradation rates. After surface modification with GFOGER peptide and BMP-9, the scaffold demonstrated enhanced new bone mineral deposition and density over the course of a 12 week in vivo study. Histological analysis and WB confirmed that this scaffold up-regulated the expression of Runx7, OCN, COL-1 and SP7, contributing to the noted uniform trabeculae formation and new bone regeneration. Conclusions: The application of this strategy in the manufacture of composite scaffolds provided extensive guidance for the application of bone tissue engineering.

Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137388. [PMID: 35806393 PMCID: PMC9266819 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23137388] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 06/28/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Articular cartilage is characterized by a poor self-healing capacity due to its aneural and avascular nature. Once injured, it undergoes a series of catabolic processes which lead to its progressive degeneration and the onset of a severe chronic disease called osteoarthritis (OA). In OA, important alterations of the morpho-functional organization occur in the cartilage extracellular matrix, involving all the nearby tissues, including the subchondral bone. Osteochondral engineering, based on a perfect combination of cells, biomaterials and biomolecules, is becoming increasingly successful for the regeneration of injured cartilage and underlying subchondral bone tissue. To this end, recently, several peptides have been explored as active molecules and enrichment motifs for the functionalization of biomaterials due to their ability to be easily chemically synthesized, as well as their tunable physico-chemical features, low immunogenicity issues and functional group modeling properties. In addition, they have shown a good aptitude to penetrate into the tissue due to their small size and stability at room temperature. In particular, growth-factor-derived peptides can play multiple functions in bone and cartilage repair, exhibiting chondrogenic/osteogenic differentiation properties. Among the most studied peptides, great attention has been paid to transforming growth factor-β and bone morphogenetic protein mimetic peptides, cell-penetrating peptides, cell-binding peptides, self-assembling peptides and extracellular matrix-derived peptides. Moreover, recently, phage display technology is emerging as a powerful selection technique for obtaining functional peptides on a large scale and at a low cost. In particular, these peptides have demonstrated advantages such as high biocompatibility; the ability to be immobilized directly on chondro- and osteoinductive nanomaterials; and improving the cell attachment, differentiation, development and regeneration of osteochondral tissue. In this context, the aim of the present review was to go through the recent literature underlining the importance of studying novel functional motifs related to growth factor mimetic peptides that could be a useful tool in osteochondral repair strategies. Moreover, the review summarizes the current knowledge of the use of phage display peptides in osteochondral tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Exposed dental pulp can maintain its vitality through a pulp-capping procedure with biocompatible materials, followed by reparative dentin formation. Our previous study demonstrated that a vitronectin-derived peptide (VnP-16) promotes osteoblast differentiation and concomitantly restrains osteoclast differentiation and resorptive function. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate that VnP-16 promotes odontoblast differentiation, mineralization, and reparative dentin formation in a pulp exposure model using a rat tooth. VnP-16 showed no cytotoxicity and promoted cellular behavior in human dental pulp cells, enhancing their differentiation into odontoblast-like cells and mineralization, effects that are comparable to those obtained with vitronectin. In a rat pulp exposure model, VnP-16 showed mild inflammatory responses at 2 and 4 wk or none. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) demonstrated a tendency of early formation of reparative dentin at 2 wk when compared with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2) and VnP-16. However, VnP-16 induced reparative dentin formation similar to MTA and rhBMP-2 without inflammation at 4 wk. In addition, VnP-16 showed a thicker and homogeneous reparative dentin formation versus MTA and rhBMP-2. Collectively, these results suggest that VnP-16 can be a useful, direct pulp-capping agent for highly qualified reparative dentin formation by promoting cell behavior and odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp cells.

Abstract
The use of BMP-2 in orthopedic surgery is limited by uncertainty surrounding its effects on the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and how this is affected by cellular aging. This study compared the effects of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) on osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation between senescent and non-senescent MSCs. Senescent and non-senescent MSCs were cultured in osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation medium containing various concentrations of rhBMP-2. The phenotypes of these cells were compared by performing a calcium assay, adipogenesis assay, staining, real-time PCR, western blotting, and microarray analysis. rhBMP-2 induced osteogenic differentiation to a lesser extent (P < 0.001 and P = 0.005 for alkaline phosphatase activity and Ca2+ release) in senescent MSCs regardless of dose-dependent increase in both cells. However, the induction of adipogenic differentiation by rhBMP-2 was comparable between them. There was no difference between these two groups of cells in the adipogenesis assay (P = 0.279) and their expression levels of PPARγ were similar. Several genes such as CHRDL1, NOG, SMAD1, SMAD7, and FST encoding transcription factors were proposed to underlie the different responses of senescent and non-senescent MSCs to rhBMP-2 in microarray analyses. Furthermore, inflammatory, adipogenic, or cell death-related signaling pathways such as NF-kB or p38-MAPK pathways were upregulated by BMP-2 in senescent MSCs, whereas bone forming signaling pathways involving BMP, SMAD, and TGF- ß were upregulated in non-senescent MSCs as expected. This phenomenon explains bone forming dominance by non-senescent MSCs and possible frequent complications such as seroma, osteolysis, or neuritis in senescent MSCs during BMP-2 use in orthopedic surgery.

Abstract
In vivo cells reside in a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) that presents spatially distributed biochemical and -physical cues at the nano- to micrometer scales. Chemical micropatterning is successfully used to generate adhesive islands to control where and how cells attach and restore cues of the ECM in vitro. Although chemical micropatterning has become a powerful tool to study cell-material interactions, only a fraction of the possible micropattern designs was covered so far, leaving many other possible designs still unexplored. Here, a high-throughput screening platform called "Galapagos chip" is developed. It contains a library of 2176 distinct subcellular chemical patterns created using mathematical algorithms and a straightforward UV-induced two-step surface modification. This approach enables the immobilization of ligands in geometrically defined regions onto cell culture substrates. To validate the system, binary RGD/polyethylene glycol patterns are prepared on which human mesenchymal stem cells are cultured, and the authors observe how different patterns affect cell and organelle morphology. As proof of concept, the cells are stained for the mechanosensitive YAP protein, and, using a machine-learning algorithm, it is demonstrated that cell shape and YAP nuclear translocation correlate. It is concluded that the Galapagos chip is a versatile platform to screen geometrical aspects of cell-ECM interaction.

Abstract
Upon the osteoporotic condition, sluggish osteogenesis, excessive bone resorption, and chronic inflammation make the osseointegration of bioinert titanium (Ti) implants with surrounding bone tissues difficult, often lead to prosthesis loosening, bone collapse, and implant failure. In this study, we firstly designed clickable mussel-inspired peptides (DOPA-N3) and grafted them onto the surfaces of Ti materials through robust catechol-TiO2 coordinative interactions. Then, two dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO)-capped bioactive peptides RGD and BMP-2 bioactive domain (BMP-2) were clicked onto the DOPA-N3-coated Ti material surfaces via bio-orthogonal reaction. We characterized the surface morphology and biocompatibility of the Ti substrates and optimized the osteogenic capacity of Ti surfaces through adjusting the ideal ratios of BMP-2/RGD at 3:1. In vitro, the dual-functionalized Ti substrates exhibited excellent promotion on adhesion and osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and conspicuous immunopolarization-regulation to shift macrophages to alternative (M2) phenotypes and inhibit inflammation, as well as enhancement of osseointegration and mechanical stability in osteoporotic rats. In summary, our biomimetic surface modification strategy by bio-orthogonal reaction provided a convenient and feasible method to resolve the bioinertia and clinical complications of Ti-based implants, which was conducive to the long-term success of Ti implants, especially in the osteoporotic or inflammatory conditions. A clickable mussel-inspired peptide and two DBCO-capped bioactive peptides for facile decoration of Ti prostheses via robust catechol/TiO2 coordinative interactions and click chemical reaction. Dual functionalized Ti-based surface can improve cell anchoring and osteogenicitity by rationally adjusting the grafting ratio of BMP-2 and RGD peptides. Dual functionalized Ti-based surface synergistically achieve M2 shifting and efficient inflammation inhibition for osseointegration.

Abstract
Stem cells have great potential in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their inherent regenerative capabilities. However, an ongoing challenge within their clinical translation is to elicit or predict the desired stem cell behavior once transplanted. Stem cell behavior and function are regulated by their interaction with biophysical and biochemical signals present in their natural environment (i.e., stem cell niches). To increase our understanding about the interplay between stem cells and their resident microenvironments, biointerfaces have been developed as tools to study how these substrates can affect stem cell behaviors. This article aims to review recent developments on fabricating cell-instructive interfaces to control cell adhesion processes towards directing stem cell behavior. After an introduction on stem cells and their natural environment, static surfaces exhibiting predefined biochemical signals to probe the effect of chemical features on stem cell behaviors are discussed. In the third section, we discuss more complex dynamic platforms able to display biochemical cues with spatiotemporal control using on-off ligand display, reversible ligand display, and ligand mobility. In the last part of the review, we provide the reader with an outlook on future designs of biointerfaces. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Stem cells have great potential as treatments for many degenerative disorders prevalent in our aging societies. However, an ongoing challenge within their clinical translation is to promote stem cell mediated regeneration once they are transplanted in the body. Stem cells reside within our bodies where their behavior and function are regulated by interactions with their natural environment called the stem cell niche. To increase our understanding about the interplay between stem cells and their niche, 2D materials have been developed as tools to study how specific signals can affect stem cell behaviors. This article aims to review recent developments on fabricating cell-instructive interfaces to control cell adhesion processes towards directing stem cell behavior.

Abstract
In the current study, we designed four cyclic peptide analogues by incorporating two cysteine residues in a BMP-2 linear knuckle epitope in such a way that the active region of the peptide could be either inside or outside the cyclic ring. Bone morphogenetic protein receptor BMPRII was immobilized on the chip surface, and the interaction of the linear and cyclic peptide analogues was studied using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). From the affinity data, the peptides with an active region inside the cyclic ring had a higher binding affinity in comparison to the other peptides. To confirm that our affinity data are in line in vitro, we studied the expression levels of RUNX2 (runt-related transcription factor) and conducted an osteogenic marker alkaline phosphatase (ALP) assay and staining. Based on the affinity data and the in vitro experiments, peptide P-05 could be a suitable candidate for osteogenesis, with higher binding affinity and increased RUNX2 and ALP expression in comparison to the linear peptides.

Abstract
Abstract The development of natural biomaterials applied for hard tissue repair and regeneration is of great importance, especially in societies with a large elderly population. Self-assembled peptide hydrogels are a new generation of biomaterials that provide excellent biocompatibility, tunable mechanical stability, injectability, trigger capability, lack of immunogenic reactions, and the ability to load cells and active pharmaceutical agents for tissue regeneration. Peptide-based hydrogels are ideal templates for the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals, which can mimic the extracellular matrix. Thus, peptide-based hydrogels enhance hard tissue repair and regeneration compared to conventional methods. This review presents three major self-assembled peptide hydrogels with potential application for bone and dental tissue regeneration, including ionic self-complementary peptides, amphiphilic (surfactant-like) peptides, and triple-helix (collagen-like) peptides. Special attention is given to the main bioactive peptides, the role and importance of self-assembled peptide hydrogels, and a brief overview on molecular simulation of self-assembled peptide hydrogels applied for bone and dental tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
Improving cell-material interactions is a major goal in tissue engineering. In this regard, functionalization of biomaterials with cell instructive molecules from the extracellular matrix stands out as a powerful strategy to enhance their bioactivity and achieve optimal tissue integration. However, current functionalization strategies, like the use of native full-length proteins, are associated with drawbacks, thus urging the need of developing new methodologies. In this regard, the use of synthetic peptides encompassing specific bioactive regions of proteins represents a promising alternative. In particular, the combination of peptide sequences with complementary or synergistic effects makes it possible to address more than one biological target at the biomaterial surface. In this review, an overview of the main strategies using peptides to install multifunctionality on biomaterials is presented, mostly focusing on the combination of the RGD motif with other peptides sequences. The evolution of these approaches, starting from simple methods, like using peptide mixtures, to more advanced systems of peptide presentation, with very well defined chemical properties, are explained. For each system of peptide's presentation, three main aspects of multifunctionality-improving receptor selectivity, mimicking the extracellular matrix and preventing bacterial colonization while improving cell adhesion-are highlighted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Crosstalk between Notch and other cell signaling molecules has been implicated to regulate the osteogenic differentiation. Understanding the interaction between Notch and IL15 is essential to reveal molecular mechanism. Thus, the objective of the present study was to investigate whether IL15 participates in the Notch signaling-induced mineral deposition in human dental pulp cells (hDPs). METHODS hDPs were explanted from dental pulp tissues. To activate Notch signaling, the cells were seeded on Jagged1-immobilized surfaces. The mRNA expression was evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction. hDPs were treated with 5-50 ng/mL IL15. Cell viability and proliferation were determined using an MTT assay. Mineral deposition was examined using alizarin red s and Von Kossa staining. In some experiments, the cells were pretreated with a JAK inhibitor prior to stimulation. RESULTS Jagged1 induced IL15 and IL15RA expression in hDPs. IL15 treatment significantly increased mineral deposition at 14 d and upregulated ALP, OCN, OSX, ANKH, and ENPP1 mRNA expression. IL15-induced mineralization was attenuated by JAK inhibitor pretreatment. Further, JAK inhibitor pretreatment inhibited the effect of Jagged1 on hDP mineral deposition. CONCLUSION IL15 promoted the osteogenic differentiation in hDPs. Moreover, IL15 participated in the Jagged1-induced mineralization in hDPs.

A Novel Bone Substitute Based on Recombinant Type I Collagen for Reconstruction of Alveolar Cleft. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14092306. [PMID: 33946797 PMCID: PMC8125289 DOI: 10.3390/ma14092306] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2020] [Revised: 04/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/22/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the optimal cross-link density of recombinant peptide (RCP) particles, based on human collagen type I, for bone reconstruction in human alveolar cleft. Low- (group 1), medium- (group 2), and high- (group 3) cross-linked RCP particles were prepared by altering the duration of the heat-dependent dehydration reaction. Rat palatine fissures (n = 45), analogous to human congenital bone defects, were examined to evaluate the potential of bone formation by the three different RCP particles. Microcomputed tomography images were obtained to measure bone volume and bone mineral density at 4, 8, 12, and 16 weeks post grafting. Specimens were obtained for histological analysis at 16 weeks after grafting. Additionally, alkaline phosphatase and tartrate acid phosphatase staining were performed to visualize the presence of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. At 16 weeks, bone volume, bone mineral density, and new bone area measurements in group 2 were significantly higher than in any other group. In addition, the number of osteoblasts and osteoclasts on the new bone surface in group 2 was significantly higher than in any other group. Our results demonstrated that medium cross-linking was more suitable for bone formation—and could be useful in human alveolar cleft repairs as well.

Abstract
Hydrophilic bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is easily degraded and difficult to load onto hydrophobic carrier materials, which limits the application of polyester materials in bone tissue engineering. Based on soybean-lecithin as an adjuvant biosurfactant, we designed a novel cell-free-scaffold of polymer of poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-co-polyetherimide with abundant entrapped and continuously released BMP2 for in vivo stem cell-capture and in situ osteogenic induction, avoiding the use of exogenous cells. The optimized bioactive osteo-polyester scaffold (BOPSC), i.e. SBMP-10SC, had a high BMP2 entrapment efficiency of 95.35%. Due to its higher porosity of 83.42%, higher water uptake ratio of 850%, and sustained BMP2 release with polymer degradation, BOPSCs were demonstrated to support excellent in vitro capture, proliferation, migration and osteogenic differentiation of mouse adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (mADSCs), and performed much better than traditional BMP-10SCs with unmodified BMP2 and single polyester scaffolds (10SCs). Furthermore, in vivo capture and migration of stem cells and differentiation into osteoblasts was observed in mice implanted with BOPSCs without exogenous cells, which enabled allogeneic bone formation with a high bone mineral density and ratios of new bone volume to existing tissue volume after 6 months. The BOPSC is an advanced 3D cell-free platform with sustained BMP2 supply for in situ stem cell capture and osteoinduction in bone tissue engineering with potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is becoming a rapidly evolving technique in today's biomedical progress scenario. Scientists around the world suggest the use of naturally synthesized biomaterials to repair and heal damaged cells. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) has the potential to replace drugs in biomedical engineering and regenerative drugs. HAp is easily biodegradable, biocompatible, and correlated with macromolecules, which facilitates their incorporation into inorganic materials. This review article provides extensive knowledge on HAp and collagen-containing compositions modified with drugs, bioactive components, metals, and selected nanoparticles. Such compositions consisting of HAp and collagen modified with various additives are used in a variety of biomedical applications such as bone tissue engineering, vascular transplantation, cartilage, and other implantable biomedical devices.

Evaluating Poly(Acrylamide-co-Acrylic Acid) Hydrogels Stress Relaxation to Direct the Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Macromol Biosci 2021; 21:e2100069.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate polyacrylamide-based hydrogels stress relaxation and the subsequent impact on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Different hydrogels are synthesized by varying the amount of cross-linker and the ratio between the monomers (acrylamide and acrylic acid), and characterized by compression tests. It has been found that hydrogels containing 18% of acrylic acid exhibit an average relaxation of 70%, while pure polyacrylamide gels show an average relaxation of 15%. Subsequently, hMSCs are cultured on two different hydrogels functionalized with a mimetic peptide of the bone morphogenetic protein-2 to enable cell adhesion and favor their osteogenic differentiation. Phalloidin staining shows that for a constant stiffness of 55 kPa, a hydrogel with a low relaxation (15%) leads to star-shaped cells, which is typical of osteocytes, while a hydrogel with a high relaxation (70%) presents cells with a polygonal shape characteristic of osteoblasts. Immunofluorescence labeling of E11, strongly expressed in early osteocytes, also shows a dramatically higher expression for cells cultured on the hydrogel with low relaxation (15%). These results clearly demonstrate that, by fine-tuning hydrogels stress relaxation, hMSCs differentiation can be directed toward osteoblasts, and even osteocytes, which is particularly rare in vitro.

Abstract
Recreating the healing microenvironment is essential to regulate cell-material interactions and ensure the integration of biomaterials. To repair bone, such bioactivity can be achieved by mimicking its extracellular matrix (ECM) and by stimulating integrin and growth factor (GF) signaling. However, current approaches relying on the use of GFs, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), entail clinical risks. Here, a biomimetic peptide integrating the RGD cell adhesive sequence and the osteogenic DWIVA motif derived from the wrist epitope of BMP-2 is presented. The approach offers the advantage of having a spatial control over the single binding of integrins and BMP receptors. Such multifunctional platform is designed to incorporate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine to bind metallic oxides with high affinity in a one step process. Functionalization of glass substrates with the engineered peptide is characterized by physicochemical methods, proving a successful surface modification. The biomimetic interfaces significantly improve the adhesion of C2C12 cells, inhibit myotube formation, and activate the BMP-dependent signaling via p38. These effects are not observed on surfaces displaying only one bioactive motif, a mixture of both motifs or soluble DWIVA. These data prove the biological potential of recreating the ECM and engaging in integrin and GF crosstalk via molecular-based mimics.

Abstract
The inclusion of biofunctional molecules with synthetic bone graft substitutes has the potential to enhance tissue regeneration during treatment of traumatic bone injuries. The clinical use of growth factors has though been associated with complications, some serious. The use of smaller, active peptides has the potential to overcome these problems and provide a cost-effective, safe route for the manufacture of enhanced bone graft substitutes. This review considers the design of peptide-enhanced bone graft substitutes, and how peptide selection and attachment method determine clinical efficacy. It was determined that covalent attachment may reduce the known risks associated with growth factor-loaded bone graft substitutes, providing a predictable tissue response and greater clinical efficacy. Peptide choice was found to be critical, but even within recognised families of biologically active peptides, the configurations that appeared to most closely mimic the biological molecules involved in natural bone healing processes were most potent. It was concluded that rational, evidence-based design of peptide-enhanced bone graft substitutes offers a pathway to clinical maturity in this highly promising field.

Abstract
Bone tissue requires a range of complex mechanisms to allow the restoration of its structure and function. Bone healing is a signaling cascade process, involving cells secreting cytokines, growth factors, and pro-inflammatory factors in the defect site that will, subsequently, recruit surrounding stem cells to migrate, proliferate, and differentiate into bone-forming cells. Bioactive functional scaffolds could be applied to improve the bone healing processes where the organism is not able to fully regenerate the lost tissue. However, to be optimal, such scaffolds should act as osteoconductors - supporting bone-forming cells, providing nutrients, and sustaining the arrival of new blood vessels, and act as osteoinducers - slowly releasing signaling molecules that stimulate mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate and deposit mineralized bone matrix. Different compositions and shapes of scaffolds, cutting-edge technologies, application of signaling molecules to promote cell differentiation, and high-quality biomaterials are reaching favorable outcomes towards osteoblastic differentiation of stem cells in in vitro and in vivo researches for bone regeneration. Hydrogel-based biomaterials are being pointed as promising for bone tissue regeneration; however, despite all the research and high-impact scientific publications, there are still several challenges that prevent the use of hydrogel-based scaffolds for bone regeneration being feasible for their clinical application. Hence, the objective of this review is to consolidate and report, based on the current scientific literature, the approaches for bone tissue regeneration using bioactive hydrogel-based scaffolds, cell-based therapies, and three-dimensional bioprinting to define the key challenges preventing their use in clinical applications.

Abstract
Functional peptides derived from the active domains of odontogenesis-related proteins have been reported to promote dental hard tissue regeneration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of an artificially synthesized peptide, TVH-19, on odontoblast differentiation and tertiary dentin formation in indirect pulp capping (IPC) using in vitro and in vivo experiments. TVH-19 did not exhibit any effect on the proliferation of human dental pulp cells (hDPCs) but significantly promoted cell migration, compared with the control (p < 0.05). TVH-19-treated hDPCs showed significantly higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and stronger alizarin red staining (ARS) reactivity than the control group (p < 0.05). TVH-19 also upregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of odontogenic genes. After generating IPC in rats, the samples of teeth were studied using micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT), hematoxylin & eosin (HE) staining, and immunohistochemical staining to investigate the functions of TVH-19. The in vivo results showed that TVH-19 induced the formation of tertiary dentin, and reduced inflammation and apoptosis, as evident from the downregulated expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and cleaved-Caspase-3 (CL-CASP3). Overall, the results of our study suggest that TVH-19 induces differentiation of hDPCs, promotes tertiary dentin formation, relieves inflammation, and reduces apoptosis, indicating the potential applications of TVH-19 in IPC.

Abstract
Here we present the use of surface nanopatterning of covalently immobilized BMP-2 and integrin selective ligands to determine the specificity of their interactions in regulating cell adhesion and focal adhesion assembly. Gold nanoparticle arrays carrying single BMP-2 dimers are prepared by block-copolymer micellar nanolithography and azide-functionalized integrin ligands (cyclic-RGD peptides or α5β1 integrin peptidomimetics) are immobilized on the surrounding polyethylene glycol alkyne by click chemistry. Compared to BMP-2 added to the media, surface immobilized BMP-2 (iBMP-2) favors the spatial segregation of adhesion clusters and enhances focal adhesion (FA) size in cells adhering to α5β1 integrin selective ligands. Moreover, iBMP-2 copresented with α5β1 integrin ligands induces the recruitment of αvβ3 integrins in FAs. When copresented with RGD, iBMP-2 induces the assembly of a higher number of FAs, which are not affected by α5β1 integrin blocking. Our dual-functionalized platforms offer the possibility to study the crosstalk between integrins and BMP receptors, and more in general they could be used to address the spatial regulation of growth factors and adhesion receptors crosstalk on biomimetic surfaces.

Abstract
Endochondral ossification (ECO) is an important process of bone tissue development. During ECO, extracellular matrices (ECMs) are essential factors to control cell functions and induce bone regeneration. However, the exact role of ECO ECMs on stem cell differentiation remains elusive. In this study, ECM scaffolds were prepared to mimic the ECO-related ECM microenvironments and their effects on stem cell differentiation were compared. Four types of ECM scaffolds mimicking the ECMs of stem cells (SC), chondrogenic (CH), hypertrophic (HY) and osteogenic (OS) stages were prepared by controlling differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at different stages. Composition of the ECM scaffolds was dependent on the differentiation stage of MSCs. They showed different influence on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. HY ECM scaffold had the most promotive effect on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. CH ECM and OS ECM scaffolds showed moderate effect, while SC ECM scaffold had the lowest effect on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Their effects on chondrogenic or adipogenic differentiation were not significantly different. The results suggested that the engineered HY ECM scaffold had superior effect for osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Statement of significance ECM scaffolds mimicking endochondral ossification-related ECM microenvironments are pivotal for elucidation of their roles in regulation of stem cell functions and bone tissue regeneration. This study offers a method to prepare ECM scaffolds that mimic the ECMs from cells at hypertrophic, osteogenic, chondrogenic and stem cell stages. Their composition and impacts on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs were compared. The hypertrophic ECM scaffold had the highest promotive effect on osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. The results advance our understanding about the role of ECO ECMs in regulation of stem cell functions and provide perspective for bone defect repair strategies.

Abstract
Healing of fractures and bone defects normally follows an orderly series of events including formation of a hematoma and an initial stage of inflammation, development of soft callus, formation of hard callus, and finally the stage of bone remodeling. In cases of severe musculoskeletal injury due to trauma, infection, irradiation and other adverse stimuli, deficient healing may lead to delayed or non-union; this results in a residual bone defect with instability, pain and loss of function. Modern methods of mechanical stabilization and autologous bone grafting are often successful in achieving fracture union and healing of bone defects; however, in some cases, this treatment is unsuccessful because of inadequate biological factors. Specifically, the systemic and local microenvironment may not be conducive to bone healing because of a loss of the progenitor cell population for bone and vascular lineage cells. Autologous bone grafting can provide the necessary scaffold, progenitor and differentiated lineage cells, and biological cues for bone reconstruction, however, autologous bone graft may be limited in quantity or quality. These unfavorable circumstances are magnified in systemic conditions with chronic inflammation, including obesity, diabetes, chronic renal disease, aging and others. Recently, strategies have been devised to both mitigate the necessity for, and complications from, open procedures for harvesting of autologous bone by using minimally invasive aspiration techniques and concentration of iliac crest bone cells, followed by local injection into the defect site. More elaborate strategies (not yet approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration-FDA) include isolation and expansion of subpopulations of the harvested cells, preconditioning of these cells or inserting specific genes to modulate or facilitate bone healing. We review the literature pertinent to the subject of modifying autologous harvested cells including MSCs to facilitate bone healing. Although many of these techniques and technologies are still in the preclinical stage and not yet approved for use in humans by the FDA, novel approaches to accelerate bone healing by modifying cells has great potential to mitigate the physical, economic and social burden of non-healing fractures and bone defects.

Abstract
In the human body, cells in a tissue are exposed to signals derived from their specific extracellular matrix (ECM), such as architectural structure, mechanical properties, and chemical composition (proteins, growth factors). Research on biomaterials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine aims to recreate such stimuli using engineered materials to induce a specific response of cells at the interface. Although traditional biomaterials design has been mostly limited to varying individual signals, increasing interest has arisen on combining several features in recent years to improve the mimicry of extracellular matrix properties. Tremendous progress in combinatorial surface modification exploiting, for example, topographical features or variations in mechanics combined with biochemical cues has enabled the identification of their key regulatory characteristics on various cell fate decisions. Gradients especially facilitated such research by enabling the investigation of combined continuous changes of different signals. Despite unravelling important synergies for cellular responses, challenges arise in terms of fabrication and characterization of multifunctional engineered materials. This review summarizes recent work on combinatorial surface modifications that aim to control biological responses. Modification and characterization methods for enhanced control over multifunctional material properties are highlighted and discussed. Thereby, this review deepens the understanding and knowledge of biomimetic combinatorial material modification, their challenges but especially their potential.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a common technology to construct tissue engineering scaffolds for bone regeneration. However, pure electrospun scaffolds do not enrich seed cells or promote their osteogenic differentiation. Biological functionalization of tissue engineering scaffolds is currently a hot research topic. Therefore, in this study, the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal cells (BM-MSC)-specific affinity peptide E7 and a bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP-2) mimetic peptide were concomitantly conjugated onto the surface of an electrospun scaffold to construct a functional PEB scaffold. Characterization of PEB scaffolds revealed that both E7 and BMP-2 mimetic peptides were successfully conjugated onto the surface of electrospun scaffolds. With regard to biological activity, the PEB scaffold could synchronously promote adhesion and osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSC as a result of the co-delivery of E7 and BMP-2 mimetic peptides, which proved superior compared with the other three scaffolds. Consequently, the PEB scaffold offers a new concept for the construction of bone tissue engineering scaffolds.
