Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) commonly results in compromised mobility and disability, thereby imposing a significant burden on healthcare systems. Cartilage injury is a prevalent pathological manifestation in OA and constitutes a central focus for the development of treatment strategies. Despite the considerable number of studies aimed at delaying this degenerative process, their outcomes remain unvalidated in preclinical settings. Recently, therapeutic strategies focused on angiogenesis have attracted the growing interest from researchers. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive literature review to elucidate the current progress in research and pinpoint research gaps in this domain. Additionally, it provides theoretical guidance for future research endeavors and the development of treatment strategies.

Abstract
Large bone defects are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, affecting approximately 1.71 billion people. Conventional bone graft treatments show several disadvantages that negatively impact their therapeutic outcomes and limit their clinical practice. Therefore, much effort has been made to devise new and more effective approaches. In this context, bone tissue engineering (BTE), involving the use of biomaterials which are able to mimic the natural architecture of bone, has emerged as a key strategy for the regeneration of large defects. However, although different types of biomaterials for bone regeneration have been developed and investigated, to date, none of them has been able to completely fulfill the requirements of an ideal implantable material. In this context, in recent years, the field of nanotechnology and the application of nanomaterials to regenerative medicine have gained significant attention from researchers. Nanotechnology has revolutionized the BTE field due to the possibility of generating nanoengineered particles that are able to overcome the current limitations in regenerative strategies, including reduced cell proliferation and differentiation, the inadequate mechanical strength of biomaterials, and poor production of extrinsic factors which are necessary for efficient osteogenesis. In this review, we report on the latest in vitro and in vivo studies on the impact of nanotechnology in the field of BTE, focusing on the effects of nanoparticles on the properties of cells and the use of biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage is a common complication of intradural surgery or incidental durotomy in neurosurgery. Dural suturing is a common method for durotomy repair, but this technique requires a long operation time and includes the risk of CSF leakage by incomplete sealing. Glue-type sealants are effective for watertight dural closure. However, unresolved shortcomings include insufficient sealing performance, poor biocompatibility, and excessive swelling. Here, a dural sealant using light-activated hyaluronic acid (HA) with multi-networks (HA photosealant) that provides fast sealing performance and high biocompatibility is reported. The HA photosealants form a watertight hydrogel barrier with multilength networks under low-energy visible light exposure (405 nm, <1 J cm-2) for 5 s and allow firm tissue adhesion on the wet dural surface. In a rabbit model of craniectomy and durotomy, HA photosealants exhibit the faster sealing performance of dural tears and enhance dural repair with accelerated bone formation compared to commercial surgical glues, with no degenerative changes, such as inflammation or necrosis, in histopathological evaluation. This biocompatible HA photosealant can be applied in a variety of clinical settings that require fast wound closure as a promising potential.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is an effective strategy to promote periodontal tissue repair. The current study aimed to develop an injectable gel for GBR, composed of photo-cross-linkable hyaluronic acid and mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) loaded with antibacterial minocycline hydrochloride (MNCl). Hyaluronic acid modified with methacrylic anhydride (MHA) that could be cross-linked under UV irradiation was first synthesized. Dynamic rheological evaluation of MHA under UV was carried out to determine its in-situ gelling feasibility and stability. Morphological and mechanical characterization was performed to determine the optimal concentration of MHA gels. Sol-gel derived MBGNs loaded with MNCl were further incorporated into MHA gels to obtain the injectable drug-loaded MBGN-MNCl/MHA gels. In vitro antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects of this gel were evaluated. It was shown that the MHA gel obtained from 3 % MHA under UV treatment of 30s exhibited a suitable porous structure with a compressive strength of 100 kPa. MBGNs with particle size of ∼120 nm and mesopores were confirmed by TEM and SEM. MBGNs had a loading capacity of ∼120 mg/g for MNCl, exhibiting a sustained release behavior. The MBGN-MNCl/MHA gel was shown to effectively inhibit the proliferation of Streptococcus mutans and the expression of pro-inflammatory factors IL-6 and TNF-α by macrophages. It could on the other hand significantly promote the expression of osteogenic-related genes ALP, Runx2, OPN, and osterix of MC3T3-E1 cells. In conclusion, the current design using photo-crosslinkable MHA gel embedded with MNCl loaded MBGNs can serve as a promising injectable formulation for GBR treatment of irregular periodontal defects.

Abstract
Bioinks are formulations of biomaterials and living cells, sometimes with growth factors or other biomolecules, while extrusion bioprinting is an emerging technique to apply or deposit these bioinks or biomaterial solutions to create three-dimensional (3D) constructs with architectures and mechanical/biological properties that mimic those of native human tissue or organs. Printed constructs have found wide applications in tissue engineering for repairing or treating tissue/organ injuries, as well as in vitro tissue modelling for testing or validating newly developed therapeutics and vaccines prior to their use in humans. Successful printing of constructs and their subsequent applications rely on the properties of the formulated bioinks, including the rheological, mechanical, and biological properties, as well as the printing process. This article critically reviews the latest developments in bioinks and biomaterial solutions for extrusion bioprinting, focusing on bioink synthesis and characterization, as well as the influence of bioink properties on the printing process. Key issues and challenges are also discussed along with recommendations for future research.

Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:369. [PMID: 37622974 PMCID: PMC10452594 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8040369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the use of the nanocapsule sequential delivery of BMP-2 and SDF-1α through the peripheral circulatory system to promote the healing of osteoporotic fractures. METHODS Based on increased vascular permeability in the early hematoma environment around the fracture and the presence of a large number of matrix metalloproteinase MMPs in the inflammatory environment, we designed MMP-sensitive nanocapsules which were formed viain situ free-radical polymerization on the surface of grow factors with 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and the bisacryloylated VPLGVRTK peptide. The antiphagic effect and biological activity of the growth factors for the nanomicrocapsule delivery system were tested by cell experiments. The 36 SD rats with an osteoporotic fracture model were randomly divided into six groups (A, B, C, D, E, and F). In this paper, the nanocapsules loaded with BMP-2 and SDF-1 are represented as n (BMP-2) and n (SDF-1α). In the six groups, the following different combinations of growth factors were injected into the bone defect site on days 1 and 3 after bone defect surgery: in group A, n (SDF-1α) combined with n (SDF-1α); in group B, n (BMP-2) combined with n (BMP-2); in group C, n (SDF-1α) + n (BMP-2) combined with n (SDF-1α) + n (BMP-2); in group D, n (SDF-1α) combined with n (BMP-2); in group E, n (BMP-2) combined with n (SDF-1α); in group F, nanocapsules without growth factor were used as the control group. Micro-CT was used to observe the effect of n(BMP-2) and n(SDF-1α) sequential delivery inearly healing in osteoporotic fractures. Finally, in this study, we evaluated the safety of the nanocapsules delivery system by detecting ectopic osteogenesis and inflammatory responses in animals. RESULTS Nanocapsules have low toxicity and protect the integrity and biological activity of growth factors. The results confirmed that nanocapsules could still be effectively targeted to the fracture site on days 1, 3, and 7 after intravenous administration. Growth factors encapsulated in nanocapsules have better bone repair results than natural growth factors. In particular, groups C and D had the best bone repair results than other groups.In vivo experiments confirmed that nanocapsules did not cause significant ectopic osteogenesis and inflammation. CONCLUSION The results confirmed that the special vascular permeability and inflammatory factor microenvironment of the fracture site could be used to deliver two growth factors with a synergistic effect through venous circulation, which could better promote the healing process of osteoporotic fracture.

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

Abstract
Hydrogel-based bone tissue engineering is a potential strategy for treating bone abnormalities and fractures. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polymer that is widely distributed in the human body and plays a significant role in numerous physiological processes such as cell migration, tissue hydration, and wound healing. Hydrogels based on HA and its derivatives have gained popularity as potential treatments for bone-related diseases. HA-based hydrogels have been extensively studied for their ability to mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone tissue and provide a suitable microenvironment for cell support and tissue regeneration. The physical and chemical properties of HA can be modified to improve its mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and osteogenic potential. Moreover, HA-based hydrogels combined with other biomaterials in the presence or absence of bioactive agents have been investigated as a means of improving the mechanical properties and bioactivity of the hydrogel scaffold. Therefore, HA-based hydrogels have shown great promise in bone tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility, osteogenic activity, and ability to mimic the natural extracellular matrix of bone tissue. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the art in HA-based hydrogels for bone tissue engineering, highlighting the key advances, challenges, and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate a rabbit model of mandibular box-shaped defects created through an intraoral approach and determine the minimum size defect that would not spontaneously heal during the rabbit's natural life (or critical-sized defect, CSD). Methods Forty-five 6-month-old rabbits were randomly divided into five defect size groups (nine each). Mandibular box-shaped defects of different sizes (4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 mm) were created in each hemimandible, with the same width and depth (3 and 2 mm, respectively). Four, 8, and 12 weeks post-surgery, three animals per group were euthanized. New bone formation was assessed using micro-computed tomography (MCT) and histomorphometric analyses. Results Box-shaped defects were successfully created in the buccal region between the incisor area and the anterior part of the mental foramen in rabbit mandibles. Twelve weeks post-surgery, MCT analysis showed that the defects in the 4, 5, and 6 mm groups were filled with new bone, while those in the 8 and 10 mm groups remained underfilled. Quantitative analysis revealed that the bone mass recovery percentage in the 8 and 10 mm groups was significantly lower than that in the other groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the bone mass recovery percentage between the 8 and 10 mm groups (p > 0.05). Histomorphometric analysis indicated that the area of new bone formation in the 8 and 10 mm groups was significantly lower than that in the remaining groups (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the new bone area between the 8 and 10 mm groups (p > 0.05). Conclusions The dimensions of box-shaped CSD created in the rabbit mandible through an intraoral approach were 8 mm × 3 mm × 2 mm. This model may provide a clinically relevant base for future tissue engineering efforts in the mandible.

Abstract
Trade-off of high-strength and dynamic crosslinking of hydrogels remains an enormous challenge. Motivated by the self-healing property of biological tissues, the strategy of combining multiple dynamic bond mechanisms and a polysaccharide network is proposed to fabricate biomimetic hydrogels with sufficient mechanical strength, injectability, biodegradability, and self-healing property for bone reconstruction engineering. Stable acylhydrazone bonds endowed hydrogels with robust mechanical strength (>10 kPa). The integration of dynamic imine bonds and acylhydrazone bonds optimized the reversible characteristic to protect the cell during the injection and mimicked ECM microenvironment for cell differentiation as well as rapid adapting bone defect area. Furthermore, due to the slow enzymatic hydrolysis kinetics of chitosan and the self-healing properties of resulting networks, hydrogels exhibited a satisfactory biodegradation period (>8 weeks) that highly matches with bone regeneration. Additionally, rBMSC-laden hydrogels exhibited splendid osteogenic induction and bone reconstruction without prefabrication scaffolds and incubation, demonstrating tremendous potential for clinical application. This work proposes an efficient strategy for the construction of a low-cost multifunctional hydrogel, making polysaccharide-based hydrogels as the optimal carrier for enabling cellular functions in bone repair.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a non-inflammatory deteriorating debilitating state that bring about remarkable health and economic issues globally. Break down/deterioration of the articular cartilage (AC) is one of the pathologic characteristics of osteoarthritis (OA). Nanocomposite hydrogels (NCH) materials are evolving as a potential class of scaffolds for organ regeneration and tissue engineering. In recent years, innovative hydrogels specifically loaded with nanoparticles have been developed and synthesized with the goal of changing conventional cartilage treatments. The detailed development of a tailored nanocomposite hydrogels (NCH) material utilized for tissue engineering is presented in this review study. Also, the mechanical characteristics, particularly the tribological behavior, of these produced NCH have been highlighted. Large amounts of research and data on the hydrogel substance utilized in cartilage healing are summarized in the current review study. When determining future research gaps in the area of hydrogels for cartilage regeneration, such information will provide researchers an advantage to further develop NCH.

Abstract
Haematopoietic Stem cells (HSCs) have the potential for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation, and their behaviours are finely tuned by the microenvironment. HSC transplantation (HSCT) is widely used in the treatment of haematologic malignancies while limited by the quantity of available HSCs. With the development of tissue engineering, hydrogels have been deployed to mimic the HSC microenvironment in vitro. Engineered hydrogels influence HSC behaviour by regulating mechanical strength, extracellular matrix microstructure, cellular ligands and cytokines, cell-cell interaction, and oxygen concentration, which ultimately facilitate the acquisition of sufficient HSCs. Here, we review recent advances in the application of hydrogel-based microenvironment engineering of HSCs, and provide future perspectives on challenges in basic research and clinical practice.

Abstract
Nanofibrous microspheres (NFM) are emerging as prominent next-generation biomimetic injectable scaffold system for stem cell delivery and different tissue regeneration where nanofibrous topography facilitates ECM-like stem cells niches. Addition of osteogenic bioactive nanosilicate platelets within NFM can provide osteoconductive cues to facilitate matrix mediated osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and enhance the efficiency of bone tissue regeneration. In this study, gelatin nanofibrous microspheres are prepared containing fluoride-doped laponite XL21 (LP) using the emulsion mediated thermal induce phase separation (TIPS) technique. Systematic studies are performed to understand the effect of physicochemical properties of biomimicking NFM alone and with different concentrations of LP on human dental follicle stem cells (hDFSCs), their cellular attachment, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. The study highlights the effect of LP nanosilicate with biomimicking nanofibrous injectable scaffold system aiding in enhancing stem cell differentiation under normal physiological conditions compared to NFM without LP. The laponite-NFM shows suitability as excellent injectable biomaterials system for stem cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation for stem cell transplantation and bone tissue regeneration.

[PMID: 36281233 PMCID: PMC9587372 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdsr.2022.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2022] [Revised: 09/14/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Different types of biomaterials have been used to fabricate carriers to deliver bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in both dentoalveolar and maxillofacial bone regeneration procedures. Despite that absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) is considered the gold standard for BMP delivery, there is still some concerns regarding its use mainly due to its poor mechanical properties. To overcome this, novel systems are being developed, however, due to the wide variety of biomaterial combination, the heterogeneous assessment of newly formed tissue, and the intended clinical applications, there is still no consensus regarding which is more efficient in a particular clinical scenario. The combination of two or more biomaterials in different topological configurations has allowed specific controlled-release patterns for BMPs, improving their biological and mechanical properties compared with classical single-material carriers. However, more basic research is needed. Since the BMPs can be used in multiple clinical scenarios having different biological and mechanical needs, novel carriers should be developed in a context-specific manner. Thus, the purpose of this review is to gather current knowledge about biomaterials used to fabricate delivery systems for BMPs in both dentoalveolar and maxillofacial contexts. Aspects related with the biological, physical and mechanical characteristics of each biomaterial are also presented and discussed. Strategies for bone formation and regeneration are a major concern in dentistry. Topical delivery of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) allows rapid bone formation. BMPs requires proper carrier system to allow controlled and sustained release. Carrier should also fulfill mechanical requirements of bone defect sites. By using complex composites, it would be possible to develop new carriers for BMPs.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) has been widely used in medicine and is currently of particular interest to maxillofacial surgeons. Several applications have been introduced, including those in which HA is used as a scaffold for bone regeneration, either alone or in combination with other grafting materials, to enhance bone growth. This review aims to analyze the available literature on the use of HA for maxillofacial bone regenerative procedures including socket preservation, sinus augmentation, and ridge augmentation. Medline and PubMed databases were searched for relevant reports published between January 2000 and April 2021. Nine publications describing the use of HA to augment bone volume were identified. Although further studies are needed, these findings are encouraging as they suggest that HA could be used effectively used, in combination with graft materials, in maxillofacial bone regenerative procedures. HA facilitates manipulation of bone grafts, improves handling characteristics and promotes osteoblast activity that stimulates bone regeneration and repair.

Abstract
The osteogenic capability of mesoporous bioactive nanoparticles (MBNPs) in the SiO2-CaO system has been assessed in vivo using an osteoporotic rabbit model. MBNPs have been prepared using a double template method, resulting in spherical nanoparticles with a porous core-shell structure that has a high surface area and the ability to incorporate the anti-osteoporotic drug ipriflavone. In vitro expression of the pro-inflammatory genes NF-κB1, IL-6, TNF-α, P38 and NOS2 in RAW-264.7 macrophages, indicates that these nanoparticles do not show adverse inflammatory effects. An injectable system has been prepared by suspending MBNPs in a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel, which has been injected intraosseously into cavitary bone defects in osteoporotic rabbits. The histological analyses evidenced that MBNPs promote bone regeneration with a moderate inflammatory response. The incorporation of ipriflavone into these nanoparticles resulted in a higher presence of osteoblasts and enhanced angiogenesis at the defect site, but without showing significant differences in terms of new bone formation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles have emerged as one of the most interesting materials in the field of bone regeneration therapies. For the first time, injectable mesoporous bioactive nanoparticles have been tested in vivo using an osteoporotic animal model. Our findings evidence that MBG nanoparticles can be loaded with an antiosteoporotic drug, ipriflavone, and incorporated in hyaluronic acid to make up an injectable hydrogel. The incorporation of MBG nanoparticles promotes bone regeneration even under osteoporotic conditions, whereas the presence of IP enhances angiogenesis as well as the presence of osteoblast cells lining in the newly formed bone. The injectable device presented in this work opens new possibilities for the intraosseous treatment of osteoporotic bone using minimally invasive surgery.

Abstract
Stem cells exist as normal cells in embryonic and adult tissues. In recent years, scientists have spared efforts to determine the role of stem cells in treating many diseases. Stem cells can self-regenerate and transform into some somatic cells. They would also have a special position in the future in various clinical fields, drug discovery, and other scientific research. Accordingly, the detection of safe and low-cost methods to obtain such cells is one of the main objectives of research. Jaw, face, and mouth tissues are the rich sources of stem cells, which more accessible than other stem cells, so stem cell and tissue engineering treatments in dentistry have received much clinical attention in recent years. This review study examines three essential elements of tissue engineering in dentistry and clinical practice, including stem cells derived from the intra- and extra-oral sources, growth factors, and scaffolds.

Abstract
Tissue engineering, using a combination of living cells, bioactive molecules, and three-dimensional porous scaffolds, is a promising alternative to traditional treatments such as the use of autografts and allografts for bone and cartilage tissue regeneration. Scaffolds, in this combination, can be applied either through surgery by implantation of cell-seeded pre-fabricated scaffolds, or through injection of a solidifying precursor and cell mixture, or as an injectable cell-seeded pre-fabricated scaffold. In situ forming and pre-fabricated injectable scaffolds can be injected directly into the defect site with complex shape and critical size in a minimally invasive manner. Proper and homogeneous distribution of cells, biological factors, and molecular signals in these injectable scaffolds is another advantage over pre-fabricated scaffolds. Due to the importance of injectable scaffolds in tissue engineering, here different types of injectable scaffolds, their design challenges, and applications in bone and cartilage tissue regeneration are reviewed.

Abstract
Treating large bone defects, known as critical-sized defects (CSDs), is challenging because they are not spontaneously healed by the patient’s body. Due to the limitations associated with conventional bone grafts, bone tissue engineering (BTE), based on three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted scaffolds, has emerged as a promising approach for bone reconstitution and treatment. Bioprinting technology allows for incorporation of living cells and/or growth factors into scaffolds aiming to mimic the structure and properties of the native bone. To date, a wide range of biomaterials (either natural or synthetic polymers), as well as various cells and growth factors, have been explored for use in scaffold bioprinting. However, a key challenge that remains is the fabrication of scaffolds that meet structure, mechanical, and osteoconductive requirements of native bone and support vascularization. In this review, we briefly present the latest developments and discoveries of CSD treatment by means of bioprinted scaffolds, with a focus on the biomaterials, cells, and growth factors for formulating bioinks and their bioprinting techniques. Promising state-of-the-art pathways or strategies recently developed for bioprinting bone scaffolds are highlighted, including the incorporation of bioactive ceramics to create composite scaffolds, the use of advanced bioprinting technologies (e.g., core/shell bioprinting) to form hybrid scaffolds or systems, as well as the rigorous design of scaffolds by taking into account of the influence of such parameters as scaffold pore geometry and porosity. We also review in-vitro assays and in-vivo models to track bone regeneration, followed by a discussion of current limitations associated with 3D bioprinting technologies for BTE. We conclude this review with emerging approaches in this field, including the development of gradient scaffolds, four-dimensional (4D) printing technology via smart materials, organoids, and cell aggregates/spheroids along with future avenues for related BTE.

Abstract
The ability to repair critical‐sized long‐bone injuries using growth factor and cell delivery was investigated using hydrogel biomaterials. Physiological doses of the recombinant human bone morphogenic protein‐2 (rhBMP2) were delivered in a sustained manner from a biodegradable hydrogel containing peripheral human blood‐derived endothelial progenitor cells (hEPCs). The biodegradable implants made from polyethylene glycol (PEG) and denatured fibrinogen (PEG‐fibrinogen, PF) were loaded with 7.7 μg/ml of rhBMP2 and 2.5 × 106 cells/ml hEPCs. The safety and efficacy of the implant were tested in a rodent model of a critical‐size long‐bone defect. The hydrogel implants were formed ex‐situ and placed into defects in the tibia of athymic nude rats and analyzed for bone repair after 13 weeks following surgery. The hydrogels containing a combination of 7.7 μg/ml of rhBMP2 and 2.5 × 106 cells/ml hEPCs were compared to control hydrogels containing 7.7 μg/ml of rhBMP2 only, 2.5 × 106 cells/ml hEPCs only, or bare hydrogels. Assessments of bone repair include histological analysis, bone formation at the site of implantation using quantitative microCT, and assessment of implant degradation. New bone formation was detected in all treated animals, with the highest amounts found in the treatments that included animals that combined the PF implant with rhBMP2. Moreover, statistically significant increases in the tissue mineral density (TMD), trabecular number and trabecular thickness were observed in defects treated with rhBMP2 compared to non‐rhBMP2 defects. New bone formation was significantly higher in the hEPC‐treated defects compared to bare hydrogel defects, but there were no significant differences in new bone formation, trabecular number, trabecular thickness or TMD at 13 weeks when comparing the rhBMP2 + hEPCs‐treated defects to rhBMP2‐treated defects. The study concludes that the bone regeneration using hydrogel implants containing hEPCs are overshadowed by enhanced osteogenesis associated with sustained delivery of rhBMP2.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most sophisticated and dynamic tissues in the human body, and is characterized by its remarkable potential for regeneration. In most cases, bone has the capacity to be restored to its original form with homeostatic functionality after injury without any remaining scarring. Throughout the fascinating processes of bone regeneration, a plethora of cell lineages and signaling molecules, together with the extracellular matrix, are precisely regulated at multiple length and time scales. However, conditions, such as delayed unions (or nonunion) and critical-sized bone defects, represent thorny challenges for orthopedic surgeons. During recent decades, a variety of novel biomaterials have been designed to mimic the organic and inorganic structure of the bone microenvironment, which have tremendously promoted and accelerated bone healing throughout different stages of bone regeneration. Advances in tissue engineering endowed bone scaffolds with phenomenal osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, vascularization and neurotization effects as well as alluring properties, such as antibacterial effects. According to the dimensional structure and functional mechanism, these biomaterials are categorized as zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and four-dimensional biomaterials. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the astounding advances in emerging biomaterials for bone regeneration by categorizing them as zero-dimensional to four-dimensional biomaterials, which were further elucidated by typical examples. Hopefully, this review will provide some inspiration for the future design of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Synthetic and natural biomaterials are a promising alternative for the treatment of critical-sized bone defects. Several parameters such as their porosity, surface, and mechanical properties are extensively pointed out as key points to recapitulate the bone microenvironment. Many biomaterials with this pursuit are employed to provide a matrix, which can supply the specific environment and architecture for an adequate bone growth. Nevertheless, some queries remain unanswered. This review discusses the recent advances achieved by some synthetic and natural biomaterials to mimic the native structure of bone and the manufacturing technology applied to obtain biomaterial candidates. The focus of this review is placed in the recent advances in the development of biomaterial-based therapy for bone defects in different types of bone. In this context, this review gives an overview of the potentialities of synthetic and natural biomaterials: polyurethanes, polyesters, hyaluronic acid, collagen, titanium, and silica as successful candidates for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Despite progress in many aspects of controlling cell behavior within synthetic three-dimensional hydrogels, approaches to cryopreserve these systems - encompassing the protection of both encapsulated cell viability and network bioactive functions - are lacking. Here, we demonstrate the retention of encapsulated human mesenchymal stromal cell (hMSC) viability following in situ cryopreservation regardless of cell line, material system, or storage duration. Further, the preservation extends to network bioactive functions, with hMSCs cryopreserved within degradable and adhesive hyaluronic-acid (HA) based hydrogels exhibiting degradation-mediated spreading within the gels equivalent to their non-frozen counterparts. Finally, the platform cryopreservation protocol preserves multi-lineage cellular differentiation capacity, with encapsulated hMSCs in non-degradable and adhesive/degradable HA-based hydrogels undergoing rates of adipogenesis and osteogenesis, respectively, equivalent to those in non-frozen gels on a per-cell basis. Collectively, these findings indicate a versatile platform technology that contributes to an increased understanding of three-dimensional cell-matrix interactions, and which may enable the indefinite cryopreservation of tissue engineering constructs for clinical applications.

Abstract
The anti-angiogenic effects of bisphosphonates have been hypothesized as one of the major etiologic factors in the development of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a severe debilitating condition with limited treatment options. This study evaluated the potential of a gelatine-hyaluronic acid hydrogel loaded with the angiogenic growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as a local delivery system to aid in maintaining vascularization in a bisphosphonate-treated (Zoledronic Acid) rodent maxillary extraction defect. Healing was assessed four weeks after implantation of the VEGF-hydrogel into extraction sockets. Gross examination and histological assessment showed that total osteonecrosis and inflammatory infiltrate was significantly reduced in the presence of VEGF. Also, total vascularity and specifically neovascularization, was significantly improved in animals that received VEGF hydrogel. Gene expression of vascular, inflammatory and bone specific markers within the defect area were also significantly altered in the presence of VEGF. Furthermore, plasma cytokine levels were assessed to determine the systemic effect of locally delivered VEGF and showed similar outcomes. In conclusion, the use of locally delivered VEGF within healing extraction sockets assists bone healing and prevents MRONJ via a pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Intensively studied 3D printing technology is frequently hindered by the effective printable ink preparation method. Herein, we propose an elegant and gentle solvent consumption strategy to slowly disrupt the thermodynamic stability of the biopolymer (polysaccharide: cellulose, chitin, and chitosan) solution to slightly induce the molecule chains to in situ self-assemble into nanostructures for regulating the rheological properties, eventually achieving the acceptable printability. The polysaccharides are dissolved in the alkali/urea solvent. The weak Lewis acid fumed silica (as solvent mediator) is used to (i) slowly and partially consume the alkali/urea solvent to induce the polysaccharide chains to self-assemble into nanofibers to form a percolating network in a limited scale without leading to gelation and (ii) act as the support to increase the solution modulus, for achieving superior printability and scaffold design flexibility. As a demonstration, the resulting polysaccharide scaffolds with biomimetic nanofibrous structures exhibit superior performances in both the cell-free and cell-loaded bone tissue engineering strategies, showing the potential in tissue engineering. Moreover, the fumed silica could be completely removed by alkali treatment without defecting the nanofibrous structure, showing the potential in various applications. We anticipate our solvent-mediated 3D printing ink preparation concept could be used to fabricate other polymeric facile inks and for widespread applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of deproteinized bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (DBBM-C) soaked with hyaluronic acid (HA) for ridge preservation in compromised extraction sockets. METHODS Bilateral third, fourth premolars and first molar were hemisected, distal roots were extracted, and then combined endodontic periodontal lesion was induced in the remaining mesial roots. After 4 months, the mesial roots were extracted and the following four treatments were randomly performed: Absorbable collagen sponge (ACS), ACS soaked with HA (ACS+HA), ridge preservation with DBBM-C covered with a collagen membrane (RP), ridge preservation with DBBM-C mixed with HA and covered with a collagen membrane (RP+HA). Animals were sacrificed at 1 and 3 months following treatment. Ridge dimensional changes and bone formation were examined using microcomputed tomography, histology, and histomorphometry. RESULTS At 1 month, ridge width was significantly higher in the RP and RP+HA groups than in the ACS and ACS+HA groups, while the highest proportion of mineralized bone was observed in ACS+HA group. At 3 months, ridge width remained significantly higher in the RP and RP+HA groups than in the ACS and ACS+HA groups. ACS+HA and RP+HA treatments featured the highest proportion of mineralized bone and bone volume density compared with the other groups. No statistical difference was observed between ACS+HA and RP+HA treatments. CONCLUSIONS Ridge preservation with the mixture DBBM-C/HA prevented dimensional shrinkage and improved bone formation in compromised extraction sockets at 1 and 3 months.

Abstract
Stem cell-based therapies offer numerous potentials to repair damaged or defective organs. The therapeutic outcomes of human studies, however, fall far short from what is expected. Enhancing stem cells local density and longevity would possibly maximize their healing potential. One promising strategy is to administer stem cells via injectable hydrogels. However, stem cells differentiation process is a delicate matter which is easily affected by various factors such as their interaction with their surrounding materials. Among various biomaterial options for hydrogels' production, hyaluronic acid (HA) has shown great promise. HA is a naturally occurring biological macromolecule, a polysaccharide of large molecular weight which is involved in cell proliferation, cell migration, angiogenesis, fetal development, and tissue function. In the current study we will discuss the applications, prospects, and challenges of HA-based hydrogels in stem cell delivery and fate control.

Abstract
The lymphatic system plays an integral part in regulating immune cell trafficking and the transport of macromolecules. However, its influence on disease progression and drug uptake is understood less than that of the vascular system. To bridge this knowledge gap, biomaterials can be used to investigate the lymphatic system and to provide novel understanding into complex disease processes, including cancer metastasis and inflammation. Insight gained from these mechanistic studies can be further used to design innovative biomaterials to modulate the immune system, improve drug delivery, and promote tissue regeneration. This review article focuses on recent advances in (i) biomaterials used for lymphatic vessel formation, (ii) models for studying lymphatic-immune cells interactions, (iii) pharmaceuticals and their interactions with the lymphatic system, (iv) and strategies for drug delivery via the lymphatic system. Finally, several challenges regarding adopting biomaterials for immunomodulation and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
In recent decades, research on the therapeutic potential of progenitor cells has advanced considerably. Among progenitor cells, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have attracted significant interest and have proven to be a promising tool for regenerative medicine. MSCs are isolated from various anatomical sites, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord. Advances in separation, culture, and expansion techniques for MSCs have enabled their large-scale therapeutic application. This progress accompanied by the rapid improvement of transplantation practices has enhanced the utilization of MSCs in regenerative medicine. During tissue healing, MSCs may exhibit several therapeutic functions to support the repair and regeneration of injured tissue. The process underlying these effects likely involves the migration and homing of MSCs, as well as their immunotropic functions. The direct differentiation of MSCs as a cell replacement therapeutic mechanism is discussed. The fate and behavior of MSCs are further regulated by their microenvironment, which may consequently influence their repair potential. A paracrine pathway based on the release of different messengers, including regulatory factors, chemokines, cytokines, growth factors, and nucleic acids that can be secreted or packaged into extracellular vesicles, is also implicated in the therapeutic properties of MSCs. In this review, we will discuss relevant outcomes regarding the properties and roles of MSCs during tissue repair and regeneration. We will critically examine the influence of the local microenvironment, especially immunological and inflammatory signals, as well as the mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects. Importantly, we will describe the interactions of local progenitor and immune cells with MSCs and their modulation during tissue injury. We will also highlight the crucial role of paracrine pathways, including the role of extracellular vesicles, in this healing process. Moreover, we will discuss the therapeutic potential of MSCs and MSC-derived extracellular vesicles in the treatment of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) patients. Overall, this review will provide a better understanding of MSC-based therapies as a novel immunoregenerative strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hyaluronic acid (HA) was explored as a powerful positive biocompatible material that participates in numerous biological processes related to morphogenesis and tissue healing.
AIM: In this context, we elevated in this pilot study the effect of HA on soft tissue healing and bone repair of dental sockets (DS) as well as the postoperative pain.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten individuals of both genders (80% females and 20% males) with age range 18–44 years, were included who were diagnosed with two non-restorable teeth (total sockets n = 20). A split-mouth study design was performed where the DS of each patient were divided into Group A (study group): Topical oral HA gel (Gengigel®) was applied into sockets while Group B (control group): Sockets were left untreated. Study variables were evaluated including socket length, socket healing scores (healing index), and post-operative pain in both groups at day 1, 5, and 10 for each patient.
RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences between the control and study groups regarding the reduction of the socket length and postoperative complications but results revealed that HA enhances and fasten the healing capacity.
CONCLUSION: HA can be used as adjunctive treatment to improve the wound healing process.

Abstract
Bone cancer, both primary and metastatic, is characterized by a low survival rate. Currently, available models lack in mimicking the complexity of bone, of cancer, and of their microenvironment, leading to poor predictivity. Three-dimensional technologies can help address this need, by developing predictive models that can recapitulate the conditions for cancer development and progression. Among the existing tools to obtain suitable 3D models of bone cancer, 3D printing and bioprinting appear very promising, as they enable combining cells, biomolecules, and biomaterials into organized and complex structures that can reproduce the main characteristic of bone. The challenge is to recapitulate a bone-like microenvironment for analysis of stromal-cancer cell interactions and biological mechanics leading to tumor progression. In this review, existing approaches to obtain in vitro 3D-printed and -bioprinted bone models are discussed, with a focus on the role of biomaterials selection in determining the behavior of the models and its degree of customization. To obtain a reliable 3D bone model, the evaluation of different polymeric matrices and the inclusion of ceramic fillers is of paramount importance, as they help reproduce the behavior of both normal and cancer cells in the bone microenvironment. Open challenges and future perspectives are discussed to solve existing shortcomings and to pave the way for potential development strategies.

Abstract
Cell therapies are hampered by a lack of available delivery systems, resulting in inconsistent outcomes in animal studies and human clinical trials. Hydrogel encapsulants offer a broad range of tunable characteristics in the design of cell delivery vehicles. The focus of the hydrogel field has been on durable encapsulants that provide long-term paracrine function of the cells. However, some cell therapies require cell-to-cell contact in order to elicit their effect. Controlled release microencapsulants would be beneficial in these situations, but appropriate polymers have not been adaptable to microsphere manufacturing because they harden too slowly. We developed and tested a novel microencapsulant formulation (acrylated hyaluronic acid: AHA) with degradation characteristics as a controlled release cell delivery vehicle. The properties of AHA microspheres were evaluated and compared to those of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), a durable hydrogel. AHA microspheres possessed a higher swelling ratio, lower diffusion barrier, faster degradation rate, a lower storage modulus, and a larger average diameter than microspheres composed of PEGDA. Additionally, in vitro cell viability and release and short-term in vivo biocompatibility in immune competent Sprague-Dawley rats was assessed for each microsphere type. Compared to PEGDA, microspheres composed of AHA resulted in significantly less foreign body response in vivo as measured by a lack of cellularity or fibrotic ring in the surrounding tissue and no cellular infiltration into the microsphere. This study illustrates the potential of AHA microspheres as a degradable cell delivery system with superior encapsulated cell viability and biocompatibility with the surrounding tissue.

Abstract
The onlay-graft, one of the most difficult graft conditions, is used for diverse clinical conditions, including plastic and dental surgery. The graft should withstand continuous pressure from overlying tissues and have excellent bone formation capability in a limited bone contact situation. We recently developed a 3D printed Kagome-structured polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold that has a stronger mechanical property. This study evaluated the clinical feasibility of this scaffold for onlay-graft use. The value of the scaffold containing recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 in a hyaluronate-based hydrogel (rhBMP-2/HA) to enhance bone regeneration was also assessed. 3D-printed Kagome-PCL scaffolds alone (n= 12, group I) or loaded with rhBMP-2/HA (n= 12, group II) were grafted using a rat calvarial onlay-graft model. Following sacrifice at 2, 4, and 8 weeks, all 3D-printed Kagome-PCL scaffolds were accurately positioned and firmly integrated to the recipient bone. Micro-computed tomography and histology analyses revealed a constant height of the scaffolds over time in all animals. New bone grew into the scaffolds in both groups, but with greater volume in group II. These results suggest the promising clinical feasibility of the 3D-printed Kagome-PCL scaffold for onlay-graft use and it could substitute the conventional onlay-graft in the plastic and dental reconstructive surgery in the near future.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polyelectrolyte abundant in mammalian connective tissues, such as cartilage and skin. Both endogenous and exogenous HA produced by fermentation have similar physicochemical, rheological, and biological properties, leading to medical and dermo-cosmetic products. Chemical modifications such as cross-linking or conjugation in target groups of the HA molecule improve its properties and in vivo stability, expanding its applications. Currently, HA-based scaffolds and matrices are of great interest in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the partial oxidation of the proximal hydroxyl groups in HA to electrophilic aldehydes mediated by periodate is still rarely investigated. The introduced aldehyde groups in the HA backbone allow spontaneous cross-linking with adipic dihydrazide (ADH), thermosensitivity, and noncytotoxicity to the hydrogels, which are advantageous for medical applications. This review provides an overview of the physicochemical properties of HA and its usual chemical modifications to better understand oxi-HA/ADH hydrogels, their functional properties modulated by the oxidation degree and ADH concentration, and the current clinical research. Finally, it discusses the development of biomaterials based on oxi-HA/ADH as a novel approach in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
A plethora of both acute and chronic conditions, including traumatic, degenerative, malignant, or congenital disorders, commonly induce bone disorders often associated with severe persisting pain and limited mobility. Over 1 million surgical procedures involving bone excision, bone grafting, and fracture repair are performed each year in the U.S. alone, resulting in immense levels of public health challenges and corresponding financial burdens. Unfortunately, the innate self-healing capacity of bone is often inadequate for larger defects over a critical size. Moreover, as direct transplantation of committed osteoblasts is hindered by deficient cell availability, limited cell spreading, and poor survivability, an urgent need for novel cell sources for bone regeneration is concurrent. Thanks to the development in stem cell biology and cell reprogramming technology, many multipotent and pluripotent cells that manifest promising osteogenic potential are considered the regenerative remedy for bone defects. Considering these cells' investigation is still in its relative infancy, each of them offers their own particular challenges that must be conquered before the large-scale clinical application.

Abstract
Nanocomposite hydrogels are attracting significant interest due to their potential use in drug delivery systems and tissue scaffolds. Stimuli-responsive hydrogel nanocomposites are of particular interest due to sustained release of therapeutic agents from the hydrogel. However, challenges such as controlled release of therapeutic agents exist because of limited understanding of the interactions between the therapeutic agent and the hydrogel. To investigate the interaction, we synthesize a hydrogel nanocomposite by crosslinking the hydrogel precursors (tetrazine-modified polyethylene glycol and norbornene-modified hyaluronic acid) using click chemistry while bovine serum albumin-capped silver nanoparticles were encapsulated in situ in the matrix. The interaction between the nanoparticles and the hydrogel was studied by a combination of spectroscopic techniques. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that the hydrogel molecule rearranges so that polyethylene glycol is pointing up toward the surface while hyaluronic acid folds to interact with bovine serum albumin of the nanoparticles. Hyaluronic acid, facing inward, may interact with the nanoparticle via hydrogen bonding. The hydrogel nanocomposite showed antibacterial activity against Gram-positive/Gram-negative bactericides, supporting time-based nanoparticle release results. Our findings about interactions between the nanoparticles and the hydrogel can be useful in the formulation of next generation of hydrogel nanocomposites.

Abstract
3D-bioprinting is an emerging technology of high potential in tissue engineering (TE), since it shows effective control over scaffold fabrication and cell distribution. Biopolymers such as alginate (Alg), nanofibrillated cellulose (NC) and hyaluronic acid (HA) offer excellent characteristics for use as bioinks due to their excellent biocompatibility and rheological properties. Cell incorporation into the bioink requires sterilisation assurance, and autoclave, β-radiation and γ-radiation are widely used sterilisation techniques in biomedicine; however, their use in 3D-bioprinting for bioinks sterilisation is still in their early stages. In this study, different sterilisation procedures were applied on NC-Alg and NC-Alg-HA bioinks and their effect on several parameters was evaluated. Results demonstrated that NC-Alg and NC-Alg-HA bioinks suffered relevant rheological and physicochemical modifications after sterilisation; yet, it can be concluded that the short cycle autoclave is the best option to sterilise both NC-Alg based cell-free bioinks, and that the incorporation of HA to the NC-Alg bioink improves its characteristics. Additionally, 3D scaffolds were bioprinted and specifically characterized as well as the D1 mesenchymal stromal cells (D1-MSCs) embedded for cell viability analysis. Notably, the addition of HA demonstrates better scaffold properties, together with higher biocompatibility and cell viability in comparison with the NC-Alg scaffolds. Thus, the use of MSCs containing NC-Alg based scaffolds may become a feasible tissue engineering approach for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop a complex-shaped gelatin-gellan composite scaffold with multiscale porosity using a combination of cryogenic 3D printing and lyophilization for bone tissue engineering. Cryogenic 3D printing was used to fabricate a low-concentration composite of complex-shaped macroporous gelatin-gellan structures with a pore size of 919 ± 89 µm. This was followed by lyophilization to introduce micropores of size 20-250 µm and nanometre-level surface functionalities, thus achieving a hierarchical porous structure. These multiscale porous scaffolds (GMu) were compared with two other types of scaffolds having only microporosity (GMi) and macroporosity (GMa) with regard to their physical andin vitrobiological properties. GMu scaffolds were found to be better than GMi and GMa in terms of swelling percentage, degradation rate, uniform pore distribution, cellular infiltration, attachment, proliferation, protein generation and mineralization. In conclusion, we have developed a controlled hierarchical bone-like structure, biomimicking natural bone, together with a reproducible process of manufacture by coupling soft hydrogel 3D printing with lyophilization. This enables the development of complex-shaped patient-specific 3D printed hydrogel scaffolds with enhanced performancein vitroand great potential in the fields of tissue engineering, bioprinting and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
To meet the needs of clinical medicine, bone tissue engineering is developing dynamically. Scaffolds for bone healing might be used as solid, preformed scaffolding materials, or through the injection of a solidifiable precursor into the defective tissue. There are miscellaneous biomaterials used to stimulate bone repair including ceramics, metals, naturally derived polymers, synthetic polymers, and other biocompatible substances. Combining ceramics and metals or polymers holds promise for future cures as the materials complement each other. Further research must explain the limitations of the size of the defects of each scaffold, and additionally, check the possibility of regeneration after implantation and resistance to disease. Before tissue engineering, a lot of bone defects were treated with autogenous bone grafts. Biodegradable polymers are widely applied as porous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. The most valuable features of biodegradable polyurethanes are good biocompatibility, bioactivity, bioconductivity, and injectability. They may also be used as temporary extracellular matrix (ECM) in bone tissue healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Over the past decades, a number of bone tissue engineering (BTE) approaches have been developed to address substantial challenges in the management of critical size bone defects. Although the majority of BTE strategies developed in the laboratory have been limited due to lack of clinical relevance in translation, primary prerequisites for the construction of vascularized functional bone grafts have gained confidence owing to the accumulated knowledge of the osteogenic, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive properties of mesenchymal stem cells and bone-relevant biomaterials that reflect bone-healing mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge of bone-healing mechanisms focusing on the details that should be embodied in the development of vascularized BTE, and discuss promising strategies based on 3D-bioprinting technologies that efficiently coalesce the abovementioned main features in bone-healing systems, which comprehensively interact during the bone regeneration processes.

Effect of hyaluronic acid on paracrine signaling of osteoblasts from mesenchymal stromal cells: potential impact on bone regeneration. Clin Oral Investig 2021; 25:4571-4578. [PMID: 33410999 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-020-03771-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated hyaluronic acids (HA) with different molecular weights as potential matrices for tissue-engineered bone grafting and their possible influence on the paracrine mechanisms of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. MATERIAL AND METHODS Murine adipose mesenchymal stromal cells (mASCs) on the fourth passage were seeded in 96-well plates, osteoinduced for 27 days and exposed for 3 days to low (HA-LW) and high/low molecular weight (HA-HLW) at previously defined concentrations. Cytokines IGF-1, VEGF, FGF-2, and BMP-2 were evaluated by quantification in the supernatant. RESULTS Greater expression of growth factors was observed in groups with HA-HLW compared to HA-LW. Results indicated that differentiated cells secreted fewer cytokines, namely VEGF, FGF, and BMP-2 than undifferentiated mASCs (p < 0.05). IGF-1 showed its greatest expression in the mASC HA-LW group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The application of HA-HLW as cell matrix in tissue engineering did not compromise mASC paracrine effect. Also, the association of HA-HLW matrix and mASCs resulted in greater expression of osteogenic growth factors. Longer periods of cell differentiation seemed to negatively affect their capacity for local paracrine stimulation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The use of HA-HLW as matrix for undifferentiated ASCs can be positive for bone regeneration, favoring its application as cell matrix in bone grafting procedures.

Abstract
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a chronic degenerative disease that is often characterized by progressive impairment of the temporomandibular functional unit. The aim of this randomized controlled animal trial was a comparative analysis regarding the chondroregenerative potency of intra-articular stem/stromal cell therapy. Four weeks after combined mechanical and biochemical osteoarthritis induction in 28 rabbits, therapy was initiated by a single intra-articular injection, randomized into the following groups: Group 1: AB Serum (ABS); Group 2: Hyaluronic acid (HA); Group 3: Mesenchymal stromal cells (STx.); Group 4: Mesenchymal stromal cells in hyaluronic acid (HA + STx.). After another 4 weeks, the animals were euthanized, followed by histological examination of the removed joints. The histological analysis showed a significant increase in cartilage thickness in the stromal cell treated groups (HA + STx. vs. ABS, p = 0.028; HA + ST.x vs. HA, p = 0.042; STx. vs. ABS, p = 0.036). Scanning electron microscopy detected a similar heterogeneity of mineralization and tissue porosity in the subchondral zone in all groups. The single intra-articular injection of a stem cell containing, GMP-compliant advanced therapy medicinal product for the treatment of iatrogen induced osteoarthritis of the temporomandibular joint shows a chondroregenerative effect.

Abstract
Microgels are emerging as an outstanding platform for tissue regeneration because they overcome issues associated with conventional bulk/macroscopic hydrogels such as limited cell-cell contact and cell communication and low diffusion rates. Owing to the enhanced mass transfer and injectability via a minimally invasive procedure, these microgels are becoming a promising approach for bone regeneration applications. Nevertheless, there still remains a huge gap between the understanding of how the hydrogel matrix composition can influence cell response and overall tissue formation when switching from bulk formats to microgel format, which is often neglected or rarely studied. Here, we fabricated polyethylene glycol-based microgels and bulk hydrogels incorporating gelatin and hyaluronic acid (HA), either individually or together, and assessed the impact of both hydrogel composition and format upon the osteogenic differentiation of encapsulated human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Osteogenesis was significantly greater in microgels than bulk hydrogels for both gelatin alone (Gel) and gelatin HA composite (Gel:HA) hydrogels, as determined by the expression of Runt-related transcription factor (Runx2) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) genes and mineral deposition. Interestingly, Gel and Gel:HA hydrogels behaved differently between bulk and microgel format. In bulk format, overall osteogenic outcomes were better in Gel:HA hydrogels, but in microgel format, while the level of osteogenic gene expression was equivalent between both compositions, the degree of mineralization was reduced in Gel:HA microgels. Investigation into the affinity of hydroxyapatite for the different matrix compositions indicated that the decreased mineralization of Gel:HA microgels was likely due to a low affinity of hydroxyapatite to bind to HA and support mineral deposition, which has a greater impact on microgels than bulk hydrogels. Together, these findings suggest that both hydrogel composition and format can determine the success of tissue formation and that there is a complex interplay of these two factors on both cell behavior and matrix deposition. This has important implications for tissue engineering, showing that hydrogel composition and geometry must be evaluated together when optimizing conditions for cell differentiation and tissue formation.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) encompasses the field of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive molecules to successfully guide the growth and repair of bone tissue. Current BTE strategies rely on delivering osteogenic molecules or cells via scaffolding materials. However, growth factor- and stem cell-based treatments have several limitations, such as source restriction, low stability, difficulties in predicting long-term efficacy, and high costs, among others. These issues have promoted the development of material-based therapy with properties of accessibility, high stability, tunable efficacy, and low-cost production. Hydrogels are widely used in BTE applications because of their unique hydrophilic nature and tunable physicochemical properties to mimic the native bone environment. However, current hydrogel materials are not ideal candidates due to minimal osteogenic capability on their own. Therefore, recent studies of BTE hydrogels attempt to counterbalance these issues by modifying their biophysical properties. In this article, we review recent progress in the design of hydrogels to instruct osteogenic potential, and present strategies developed to precisely control its bone healing properties.

Abstract
A fracture that does not unite in nine months is defined as nonunion. Nonunion is common in fragmented fractures and large bone defects where vascularization is impaired. The distal third of the tibia, the scaphoid bone or the talus fractures are furthermore prone to nonunion. Open fractures and spinal fusion cases also need special monitoring for healing. Bone tissue regeneration can be attained by autografts, allografts, xenografts and synthetic materials, however their limited availability and the increased surgical time as well as the donor site morbidity of autograft use, and lower probability of success, increased costs and disease transmission and immunological reaction probability of allografts oblige us to find better solutions and new grafts to overcome the cons. A proper biomaterial for regeneration should be osteoinductive, osteoconductive, biocompatible and mechanically suitable. Cytokine therapy, where growth factors are introduced either exogenously or triggered endogenously, is one of the commonly used method in bone tissue engineering. Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily, which can be divided structurally into two groups as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth differentiation factors (GDFs) and TGFβ, activin, Nodal branch, Mullerian hormone, are known to be produced by osteoblasts and other bone cells and present already in bone matrix abundantly, to take roles in bone homeostasis. BMP family, as the biggest subfamily of TGFβ superfamily, is also reported to be the most effective growth factors in bone and development, which makes them one of the most popular cytokines used in bone regeneration. Complications depending on the excess use of growth factors, and pleiotropic functions of BMPs are however the main reasons of why they should be approached with care. In this review, the Smad dependent signaling pathways of TGFβ and BMP families and their relations and the applications in preclinical and clinical studies will be briefly summarized.
