Abstract
Effective treatment of infected bone defects resulting from multi-drug resistant bacteria (MDR) has emerged as a significant clinical challenge, highlighting the pressing demand for potent antibacterial bone graft substitutes. Mesoporous nanoparticles have been introduced as a promising class of biomaterials offering significant properties for treating bone infections. Herein, we synthesize antibacterial mesoporous hydroxyapatite substituted with zinc and gallium (Zn-Ga:mHA) nanoparticles using a facile sol-gel method. The resulting mesoporous nanoparticles are applied for the controlled release of melatonin (Mel). Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles with an average particle size of 36 ± 3 nm and pore size of 10.6 ± 0.4 nm reveal a Mel loading efficiency of 58 ± 1%. Results show that 50% of Mel is released within 20 h and its long-term release is recorded up to 50 h. The Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles exhibit highly effective antibacterial performance as reflected by a 19 ± 1% and 8 ± 2% viability reduction in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus bacteria, respectively. Noticeably, Mel-loaded Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles are also cytocompatible and stimulate in vitro osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) without any osteoinductive factor. In vivo studies in a rabbit skull also show significant regeneration of bone during 14 days. In summary, Mel-loaded Zn-Ga:mHA nanoparticles provide great potential as an antibacterial and osteogenic component in bone substitutes like hydrogels, scaffolds, and coatings.

Abstract
There is an increasing demand for innovative strategies that effectively promote osteogenesis and enhance bone regeneration. The critical process of bone regeneration involves the transformation of mesenchymal stromal cells into osteoblasts and the subsequent mineralization of the extracellular matrix, making up the complex mechanism of osteogenesis. Icariin's diverse pharmacological properties, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and osteogenic effects, have attracted considerable attention in biomedical research. Icariin, known for its ability to stimulate bone formation, has been found to encourage the transformation of mesenchymal stromal cells into osteoblasts and improve the subsequent process of mineralization. Several studies have demonstrated the osteogenic effects of icariin, which can be attributed to its hormone-like function. It has been found to induce the expression of BMP-2 and BMP-4 mRNAs in osteoblasts and significantly upregulate Osx at low doses. Additionally, icariin promotes bone formation by stimulating the expression of pre-osteoblastic genes like Osx, RUNX2, and collagen type I. However, icariin needs to be effectively delivered to bone to perform such promising functions.Encapsulating icariin within nanoplatforms holds significant promise for promoting osteogenesis and bone regeneration through a range of intricate biological effects. When encapsulated in nanofibers or nanoparticles, icariin exerts its effects directly at the cellular level. Recalling that inflammation is a critical factor influencing bone regeneration, icariin's anti-inflammatory effects can be harnessed and amplified when encapsulated in nanoplatforms. Also, while cell adhesion and cell migration are pivotal stages of tissue regeneration, icariin-loaded nanoplatforms contribute to these processes by providing a supportive matrix for cellular attachment and movement. This review comprehensively discusses icariin-loaded nanoplatforms used for bone regeneration and osteogenesis, further presenting where the field needs to go before icariin can be used clinically.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have attracted significant attention as multifunctional nanocarriers for various applications in both hard and soft tissue engineering. In this study, multifunctional strontium (Sr)- and zinc (Zn)-containing MBGNs were successfully synthesized via the microemulsion-assisted sol-gel method combined with a cationic surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB). Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs exhibited spherical shapes in the nanoscale range of 100 ± 20 nm with a mesoporous structure. Sr and Zn were co-substituted in MBGNs (60SiO2-40CaO) to induce osteogenic potential and antibacterial properties without altering their size, morphology, negative surface charge, amorphous nature, mesoporous structure, and pore size. The synthesized MBGNs facilitated bioactivity by promoting the formation of an apatite-like layer on the surface of the particles after immersion in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF). The effect of the particles on the metabolic activity of human mesenchymal stem cells was concentration-dependent. The hMSCs exposed to Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs at 200 μg/mL enhanced calcium deposition and osteogenic differentiation without osteogenic supplements. Moreover, the cellular uptake and internalization of Sr-MBGNs, Zn-MBGNs, and Sr-Zn-MBGNs in hMSCs were observed. These novel particles, which exhibited multiple functionalities, including promoting bone regeneration, delivering therapeutic ions intracellularly, and inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, are potential nanocarriers for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Addressing complex tissue infections remains a challenging task because of the lack of effective means, and the limitations of traditional bioantimicrobial materials in single-application scenarios hinder their utility for complex infection sites. Hence, the development of a bioantimicrobial material with broad applicability and potent bactericidal activity is necessary to treat such infections. In this study, a layered lithium magnesium silicate nanoclay (LMS) is used to construct a nanobactericidal platform. This platform exhibits a sandwich-like structure, which is achieved through copper ion modification using a dopamine-mediated metallophenolic network. Moreover, the nanoclay is encapsulated within gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel microspheres for the treatment of complex tissue infections. The results demonstrate that the sandwich-like micro- and nanobactericidal hydrogel microspheres effectively eradicated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) while exhibiting excellent biocompatibility with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, the hydrogel microspheres upregulated the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis-related genes in these cells. In vivo experiments validated the efficacy of sandwich-like micro- and nanobactericidal hydrogel microspheres when injected into deep infected tissues, effectively eliminating bacteria and promoting robust vascular regeneration and tissue repair. Therefore, these innovative sandwich-like micro- and nanobacteriostatic hydrogel microspheres show great potential for treating complex tissue infections.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has emerged as a cornerstone in contemporary research, marked by the advent of advanced technologies aimed at nanoengineering materials with diverse applications, particularly to address challenges in human health. Among these challenges, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has risen as a significant and pressing threat to public health, creating obstacles in preventing and treating persistent diseases. Despite efforts in recent decades to combat AMR, global trends indicate an ongoing and concerning increase in AMR. The primary contributors to the escalation of AMR are the misuse and overuse of various antimicrobial agents in healthcare settings. This has led to severe consequences not only in terms of compromised treatment outcomes but also in terms of substantial financial burdens. The economic impact of AMR is reflected in skyrocketing healthcare costs attributed to heightened hospital admissions and increased drug usage. To address this critical issue, it is imperative to implement effective strategies for antimicrobial therapies. This comprehensive review will explore the latest scientific breakthroughs within the metal-organic frameworks and the use of mesoporous metallic oxide derivates as antimicrobial agents. We will explore their biomedical applications in human health, shedding light on promising avenues for combating AMR. Finally, we will conclude the current state of research and offer perspectives on the future development of these nanomaterials in the ongoing battle against AMR.

Abstract
In recent years, bone regeneration has emerged as a remarkable field that offers promising guidance for treating bone-related diseases, such as bone defects, bone infections, and osteosarcoma. Among various bone regeneration approaches, the metal ion-based strategy has surfaced as a prospective candidate approach owing to the extensive regulatory role of metal ions in bone metabolism and the diversity of corresponding delivery strategies. Various metal ions can promote bone regeneration through three primary strategies: balancing the effects of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, regulating the immune microenvironment, and promoting bone angiogenesis. In the meantime, the complex molecular mechanisms behind these strategies are being consistently explored. Moreover, the accelerated development of biomaterials broadens the prospect of metal ions applied to bone regeneration. This review highlights the potential of metal ions for bone regeneration and their underlying mechanisms. We propose that future investigations focus on refining the clinical utilization of metal ions using both mechanistic inquiry and materials engineering to bolster the clinical effectiveness of metal ion-based approaches for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Exploring new approaches to realize the possibility of incorporating biologically active elements into mesoporous silicate bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBG NPs) and guaranteeing their meso- structural integrity and dimensional stability has become an attractive and interesting challenge in biomaterials science. We present a postgrafting strategy for introducing different metal elements into MBG NPs. This strategy is mediated by polydopamine (PDA) coating, achieving uniform loading of copper or copper-cobalt on the particles efficiently and ensuring the stability of MBG NPs in terms of particle size, mesoporous structure, and chemical structure. However, the PDA coating reduced the ion-binding free energy of the MBG NPs for calcium and phosphate ions, resulting in the deposition of minimal CaP clusters on the PDA@MBG NP surface when immersed for 7 days in simulated body fluid, indicating the absence of hydroxyapatite mineralization.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate bone cements (CPC) can be used in minimally invasive surgery because of their injectability, and they can also be used to repair small and irregular bone defects. This study aimed to release the antibiotic gentamicin sulfate (Genta) to reduce tissue inflammation and prevent infection in the early stages of bone recovery. Subsequently, the sustained release of the bone-promoting drug ferulic acid (FA) mimicked the response of osteoprogenitor D1 cells interaction, thereby accelerating the healing process of the overall bone repair. Accordingly, the different particle properties of micro-nano hybrid mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG), namely, micro-sized MBG (mMBG) and nano-sized MBG (nMBG), were explored separately to generate different dose releases in MBG/CPC composite bone cement. Results show that nMBG had better sustained-release ability than mMBG when impregnated with the same dose. When 10 wt% of mMBG hybrid nMBG and composite CPC were used, the amount of MBG slightly shortened the working/setting time and lowered the strength but did not hinder the biocompatibility, injectability, anti-disintegration, and phase transformation of the composite bone cement. Furthermore, compared with 2.5wt%Genta@mMBG/7.5 wt% FA@nMBG/CPC, 5wt.%Genta@mMBG/5wt.%FA@nMBG/CPC exhibited better antibacterial activity, better compressive strength, stronger mineralization of osteoprogenitor cell, and similar 14-day slow-release trend of FA. The MBG/CPC composite bone cement developed can be used in clinical surgery to achieve the synergistic sustained release of antibacterial and osteoconductive activities.

Antibacterial PLA/Mg composite with enhanced mechanical and biological performance for biodegradable orthopedic implants. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 152:213523.

Abstract
Biodegradability, bone-healing rate, and prevention of bacterial infection are critical factors for orthopedic implants. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a good candidate biodegradable material; however, it has insufficient mechanical strength and bioactivity for orthopedic implants. Magnesium (Mg), has good bioactivity, biodegradability, and sufficient mechanical properties, similar to that of bone. Moreover, Mg has an inherent antibacterial property via a photothermal effect, which generates localized heat, thus preventing bacterial infection. Therefore, Mg is a good candidate material for PLA composites, to improve their mechanical and biological performance and add an antibacterial property. Herein, we fabricated an antibacterial PLA/Mg composite for enhanced mechanical and biological performance with an antibacterial property for application as biodegradable orthopedic implants. The composite was fabricated with 15 and 30 vol% of Mg homogeneously dispersed in PLA without the generation of a defect using a high-shear mixer. The composites exhibited an enhanced compressive strength of 107.3 and 93.2 MPa, and stiffness of 2.3 and 2.5 GPa, respectively, compared with those of pure PLA which were 68.8 MPa and 1.6 GPa, respectively. Moreover, the PLA/Mg composite at 15 vol% Mg exhibited significant improvement of biological performance in terms of enhanced initial cell attachment and cell proliferation, whereas the composite at 30 vol% Mg showed deteriorated cell proliferation and differentiation because of the rapid degradation of the Mg particles. In turn, the PLA/Mg composites exerted an antibacterial effect based on the inherent antibacterial property of Mg as well as the photothermal effect induced by near-infrared (NIR) treatment, which can minimize infection after implantation surgery. Therefore, antibacterial PLA/Mg composites with enhanced mechanical and biological performance may be a candidate material with great potential for biodegradable orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Introduction There has recently been a surge of interest in mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) as multi-functional nanocarriers for application in bone-reconstructive and -regenerative surgery. Their excellent control over their structural and physicochemical properties renders these nanoparticles suitable for the intracellular delivery of therapeutic agents to combat degenerative bone diseases, such as bone infection, or bone cancer. Generally, the therapeutic efficacy of nanocarriers strongly depends on the efficacy of their cellular uptake, which is determined by numerous factors including cellular features and the physicochemical characteristics of nanocarriers, particularly surface charge. In this study, we have systematically investigated the effect of the surface charge of MBGNs doped with copper as a model therapeutic agent on cellular uptake by both macrophages and pre-osteoblast cells involved in bone healing and bone infections to guide the future design of MBGN-based nanocarriers. Methods Cu-MBGNs with negative, neutral, and positive surface charges were synthesized and their cellular uptake efficiency was assessed. Additionally, the intracellular fate of internalized nanoparticles along with their ability to deliver therapeutic cargo was studied in detail. Results The results showed that both cell types internalized Cu-MBGNs regardless of their surface charge, indicating that cellular uptake of nanoparticles is a complex process influenced by multiple factors. This similarity in cellular uptake was attributed to the formation of a protein corona surrounding the nanoparticles when exposed to protein-rich biological media, which masks the original nanoparticle surface. Once internalized, the nanoparticles were found to mainly colocalize with lysosomes, exposing them to a more compartmentalized and acidic environment. Furthermore, we verified that Cu-MBGNs released their ionic components (Si, Ca, and Cu ions) in both acidic and neutral environments, leading to the delivery of these therapeutic cargos intracellularly. Conclusion The effective internalization of Cu-MBGNs and their ability to deliver cargos intracellularly highlight their potential as intracellular delivery nanocarriers for bone-regenerative and -healing applications.
