Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) provides the treatment possibility for segmental long bone defects that are currently an orthopedic dilemma. This review explains different strategies, from biological, material, and preparation points of view, such as using different stem cells, ceramics, and metals, and their corresponding properties for BTE applications. In addition, factors such as porosity, surface chemistry, hydrophilicity and degradation behavior that affect scaffold success are introduced. Besides, the most widely used production methods that result in porous materials are discussed. Gene delivery and secretome-based therapies are also introduced as a new generation of therapies. This review outlines the positive results and important limitations remaining in the clinical application of novel BTE materials and methods for segmental defects.

Biofabrication 2024; 16:032004. [PMID: 38688259 DOI: 10.1088/1758-5090/ad4595] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/30/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024]
Abstract
Bone scaffolds are widely employed for treating various bone disorders, including defects, fractures, and accidents. Gradient bone scaffolds present a promising approach by incorporating gradients in shape, porosity, density, and other properties, mimicking the natural human body structure. This design offers several advantages over traditional scaffolds. A key advantage is the enhanced matching of human tissue properties, facilitating cell adhesion and migration. Furthermore, the gradient structure fosters a smooth transition between scaffold and surrounding tissue, minimizing the risk of inflammation or rejection. Mechanical stability is also improved, providing better support for bone regeneration. Additionally, gradient bone scaffolds can integrate drug delivery systems, enabling controlled release of drugs or growth factors to promote specific cellular activities during the healing process. This comprehensive review examines the design aspects of gradient bone scaffolds, encompassing structure and drug delivery capabilities. By optimizing the scaffold's inherent advantages through gradient design, bone regeneration outcomes can be improved. The insights presented in this article contribute to the academic understanding of gradient bone scaffolds and their applications in bone tissue engineering.

Triple-Hybrid BioScaffold Based on Silk Fibroin, Chitosan, and nano-Biphasic Calcium Phosphates: Preparation, Characterization of Physiochemical and Biopharmaceutical Properties. J Pharm Sci 2024:S0022-3549(24)00099-6. [PMID: 38527617 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2024.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
Bioscaffolds, which promote cell regeneration and restore tissues' functions, have emerged as significant need in clinic. The hybrid of several biomaterials in a bioscaffold renders clinically advanced and relevant properties for applications yet add challenges in cost efficiency, production, and clinical investigation. This study proposes a facile and sustainable method to formulate a triple-hybrid bioscaffold based on Vietnamese cocoon origin Silk Fibroin, Chitosan, and nano-Biphasic Calcium Phosphates (nano-BCP) that can be easily molded, has high porosity (55-80%), and swelling capacity that facilitates cell proliferation and nutrient diffusion. Notably, their mechanical properties, in particular compressive strength, can easily be tuned in a range from 50 - 200 kPa by changing the amount of nano-BCP addition, which is comparable to the successful precedents for productive cell regeneration. The latter parts investigate the biopharmaceutical properties of a representative bioscaffold, including drug loading and release studies with two kinds of active compounds, salmon calcitonin and methylprednisolone. Furthermore, the bioscaffold is highly biocompatible as the results of hemocompatibility and hemostasis tests, as well as ovo chick chorioallantoic membrane investigation. The findings of the study suggest the triple-hybrid scaffold as a promising platform for multi-functional drug delivery and bone defect repair.

Tough physically crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol)-based hydrogels loaded with collagen type I to promote bone regeneration in vitro and in vivo. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129847. [PMID: 38296142 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129847] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 01/26/2024] [Accepted: 01/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels exhibit great potential as ideal biomaterials for tissue engineering, owing to their non-toxicity, high water content, and strong biocompatibility. However, limited mechanical strength and low bioactivity have constrained their application in bone tissue engineering. In this study, we have developed a tough PVA-based hydrogel using a facile physical crosslinking method, comprising of PVA, tannic acid (TA), and hydroxyapatite (HA). Systematic experiments were conducted to examine the physicochemical properties of PVA/HA/TA hydrogels, including their compositions, microstructures, and mechanical and rheological properties. The results demonstrated that the PVA/HA/TA hydrogels possessed the porous microstructures and excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, collagen type I (ColI) was used to further improve the biocompatibility and bioactivity of PVA/HA/TA hydrogels. In vitro experiments revealed that PVA/HA/TA/COL hydrogel could offer a suitable microenvironment for the growth of MC3T3-E1 cells and promote their osteogenic differentiation. Meanwhile, the PVA/HA/TA/COL hydrogel demonstrated the ability to promote bone regeneration and osteointegration in a rat femoral defect model. This study provides a potential strategy for the use of PVA-based hydrogels in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Direct ink writing (DIW) stands as a pioneering additive manufacturing technique that holds transformative potential in the field of hydrogel fabrication. This innovative approach allows for the precise deposition of hydrogel inks layer by layer, creating complex three-dimensional structures with tailored shapes, sizes, and functionalities. By harnessing the versatility of hydrogels, DIW opens up possibilities for applications spanning from tissue engineering to soft robotics and wearable devices. This comprehensive review investigates DIW as applied to hydrogels and its multifaceted applications. The paper introduces a diverse range of printing techniques while providing a thorough exploration of DIW for hydrogel-based printing. The investigation aims to explain the progress made, challenges faced, and potential trajectories that lie ahead for DIW in hydrogel-based manufacturing. The fundamental principles underlying DIW are carefully examined, specifically focusing on rheological attributes and printing parameters, prompting a comprehensive survey of the wide variety of hydrogel materials. These encompass both natural and synthetic variations, all of which can be effectively harnessed for this purpose. Furthermore, the review explores the latest applications of DIW for hydrogels in biomedical areas, with a primary focus on tissue engineering, wound dressing, and drug delivery systems. The document not only consolidates the existing state of DIW within the context of hydrogel-based manufacturing but also charts potential avenues for further research and innovative breakthroughs.
