Abstract
Nanofiber scaffolds have gained significant attention in the field of bone tissue engineering. Electrospinning, a straightforward and efficient technique for producing nanofibers, has been extensively researched. When used in bone tissue engineering scaffolds, electrospun nanofibers with suitable surface properties promote new bone tissue growth and enhance cell adhesion. Recent advancements in electrospinning technology have provided innovative approaches for scaffold fabrication in bone tissue engineering. This review comprehensively examines the utilization of electrospun nanofibers in bone tissue engineering scaffolds and evaluates the relevant literature. The review begins by presenting the fundamental principles and methodologies of electrospinning. It then discusses various materials used in the production of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, including natural and synthetic polymers, as well as certain inorganic materials. The challenges associated with these materials are also described. The review focuses on novel electrospinning techniques for scaffold construction in bone tissue engineering, such as multilayer nanofibers, multifluid electrospinning, and the integration of electrospinning with other methods. Recent advancements in electrospinning technology have enabled the fabrication of precisely aligned nanofiber scaffolds with nanoscale architectures. These innovative methods also facilitate the fabrication of biomimetic structures, wherein bioactive substances can be incorporated and released in a controlled manner for drug delivery purposes. Moreover, they address issues encountered with traditional electrospun nanofibers, such as mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. Consequently, the development and implementation of novel electrospinning technologies have revolutionized scaffold fabrication for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Statins, widely prescribed for lipid disorders, primarily target 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase competitively and reversibly, resulting in reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). This mechanism proves effective in lowering the risk of lipid-related diseases such as ischemic cerebrovascular and coronary artery diseases. Beyond their established use, statins are under scrutiny for potential applications in treating bone diseases. The focus of research centers mainly on simvastatin, a lipophilic statin demonstrating efficacy in preventing osteoporosis and aiding in fracture and bone defect healing. Notably, these effects manifest at elevated doses (20 mg/kg/day) of statins, posing challenges for systematic administration due to their limited bone affinity. Current investigations explore intraosseous statin delivery facilitated by specialized carriers. This paper outlines various carrier types, characterizing their structures and underscoring various statins' potential as local treatments for bone diseases.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material has become a potential bone replacement material due to its elastic modulus, which is close to that of human bone, and stable chemical properties. However, its biological inertness has hindered its clinical application. To improve the biological inertia of PEEK material, a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel coating loaded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and nerve growth factor (NGF) was constructed on the surface of PEEK material in this study. After the hybrid hydrogel coating was constructed, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), degradation tests, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) were used to evaluate its characteristics and biological properties. The osteogenic and angiogenic potentials were also investigated in vitro and in vivo. Our results showed that the HA hydrogel loaded with RPP and NGF on the PEEK surface degraded slowly and could sustainably release various growth factors, including NGF. The results of in vitro tests showed that the hybrid hydrogel on the surface of PEEK effectively promoted osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The in vivo experiment also confirmed that the PEEK surface hydrogel could promote osseointegration of the implant and the integration of new bone and neovascularization. Our results suggest that the cross-linked hyaluronic acid hydrogel loaded with PRP and NGF can significantly improve the biological inertia of PEEK material, endowing PEEK material with good osteogenic and angiogenic ability.

Abstract
Novel tissue regeneration strategies are constantly being developed worldwide. Research on bone regeneration is noteworthy, as many promising new approaches have been documented with novel strategies currently under investigation. Innovative biomaterials that allow the coordinated and well-controlled repair of bone fractures and bone loss are being designed to reduce the need for autologous or allogeneic bone grafts eventually. The current engineering technologies permit the construction of synthetic, complex, biomimetic biomaterials with properties nearly as good as those of natural bone with good biocompatibility. To ensure that all these requirements meet, bioactive molecules are coupled to structural scaffolding constituents to form a final product with the desired physical, chemical, and biological properties. Bioactive molecules that have been used to promote bone regeneration include protein growth factors, peptides, amino acids, hormones, lipids, and flavonoids. Various strategies have been adapted to investigate the coupling of bioactive molecules with scaffolding materials to sustain activity and allow controlled release. The current manuscript is a thorough survey of the strategies that have been exploited for the delivery of biomolecules for bone regeneration purposes, from choosing the bioactive molecule to selecting the optimal strategy to synthesize the scaffold and assessing the advantages and disadvantages of various delivery strategies.

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
Hyperlipidemia refers to the abnormal increase in plasma lipid level exceeding the normal range. At present, a large number of patients require dental implantation. However, hyperlipidemia affects bone metabolism, promotes bone loss, and inhibits the osseointegration of dental implants through the mutual regulation of adipocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. This review summarized the effects of hyperlipidemia on dental implants and addressed the potential strategies of dental implants to promote osseointegration in a hyperlipidemic environment and to improve the success rate of dental implants in patients with hyperlipidemia. We summarized topical drug delivery methods to solve the interference of hyperlipidemia in osseointegration, which were local drug injection, implant surface modification and bone-grafting material modification. Statins are the most effective drugs in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, and they also encourage bone formation. Statins have been used in these three methods and have been found to be positive in promoting osseointegration. Directly coating simvastatin on the rough surface of the implant can effectively promote osseointegration of the implant in a hyperlipidemic environment. However, the delivery method of this drug is not efficient. Recently, a variety of efficient methods of simvastatin delivery, such as hydrogels and nanoparticles, have been developed to boost bone formation, but few of them were applied to dental implants. Applicating these drug delivery systems using the three aforementioned ways, according to the mechanical and biological properties of materials, could be promising ways to promote osseointegration under hyperlipidemic conditions. However, more research is needed to confirm.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage of deep, narrow, and non-compressible perforating wounds is responsible for many trauma deaths. In this study, a rapid hemostatic sponge with an orderly channel based on methacrylated collagen (ColMA) was prepared via directional freeze-drying technology. The methacrylated hyaluronate (HAMA) was added to further enhance the mechanical properties of the sponge. The sponge presents excellent mechanical strength, rapid shape recovery, and absorption speed, which was faster than those of many reported natural polymer hemostatic sponges. Moreover, ColMA/HAMA sponge showed much better blood-clotting capacity and superior hemostasis performance than commercially available collagen sponges in vitro and in the rat-liver injury model. This study demonstrated a feasible strategy to construct the rapid hemostatic sponge with an orderly channel for the deep and non-compressible perforating wound.

Abstract
Designing a new scaffold with an optimal ability of osteogenesis differentiation is a significant step bone tissue engineering along with the growing demands for bone craft in recent decades. Herein, we used Polyurethane (PU), a novel biocompatible and flexible polymer, and Hydroxyapatite (HA), the major component of human hard tissues matrix for developing new scaffolds and analyzing the in vitro osteogenic differentiation potential of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (Ad-MSCs) in basal and induction media. Gene expression analysis was performed to evaluate the expression level of four osteogenic differentiation genes. MTT assays were also done to assess the attachment and proliferation of the cells after 7 and 21 days of seeding to scaffolds. The expression level of RUNX2 was increased in seeded cells on PU/HA scaffolds compared with the PU. Cellular adhesion and proliferation of the Ad-MSCs were higher in PU/HA than PU scaffolds according to the histology analysis. The PU and PU/HA scaffolds supported the attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of Ad-MSCs, and they are suitable candidates for producing constructs in bone regeneration. However, further in-vitro and in-vivo studies on these scaffolds are needed to introduce an appropriate candidate for clinical bone regeneration.

Abstract
The construction of suitable biomaterials for pulp regeneration has always been a major challenge in the field of stomatology. Considering the complex and irregular anatomy of the root canal system, injectable hydrogels have received extensive attention as cell carriers in dental pulp regeneration. Here, we developed an injectable photocrosslinked methacrylylated silk fibroin (RSFMA)/methacrylylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) composite hydrogel and characterized its physicochemical properties. The biocompatibility of encapsulated human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) was subsequently investigated. With the addition of RSFMA, the pore size of the scaffolds became more regular with negligible change in porosity and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, the low concentration of RSFMA hydrogel in the composite hydrogel had higher cross-linking efficiency. In contrast to MeHA hydrogels, hDPSCs were encapsulated in hydrogels either in the absence or presence of high concentrations of RSFMA. The results indicated that cells in low-concentration RSFMA composite gel presented better growth ability, proliferation ability and osteogenic differentiation ability. This injectable photocrosslinked silk fibroin/hyaluronic acid hydrogel shows great potential in the field of dental pulp tissue engineering.

Abstract
A novel composite hydrogel was developed that shows remarkable similarities to load bearing biological tissues. The composite gel consisting of a poly(vinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix filled with poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) microgel particles exhibits osmotic and mechanical properties that are qualitatively different from regular gels. In the PVA/PAA system the swollen PAA particles "inflate" the PVA network. The swelling of the PAA is limited by the tensile stress Pel developing in the PVA matrix. Pel increases with increasing swelling degree, which is opposite to the decrease of the elastic pressure observed in regular gels. The maximum tensile stress Pmaxel can be identified as a quantity that defines the load bearing ability of the composite gel. Systematic osmotic swelling pressure measurements have been made on PVA/PAA gels to determine the effects of PVA stiffness, PAA crosslink density, and Ca2+ ion concentration on Pmaxel. It is found that Pmaxel increases with the stiffness of the PVA matrix, and decreases with (i) increasing crosslink density of the PAA and (ii) increasing Ca2+ ion concentration. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements indicate only a weak interaction between the PVA and PAA gels. It is demonstrated that the osmotic swelling pressure of PVA/PAA composite gels reproduces the osmotic behavior of healthy and osteoarthritic cartilage.

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
Due to its unique properties resembling living tissues, hydrogels are attractive carriers for the localized and targeted delivery of various drugs. Drug release kinetics from hydrogels are commonly controlled by network properties and the drug-network interactions. However, and simultaneously, the programmable delivery of multiple drugs with opposing properties (hydrophilicity, molecular weight, etc.) from hydrogels with determined network properties is still challenging. Herein, we describe the preparation of injectable self-healing hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels that release hydrophobic simvastatin and hydrophilic aminobisphosphonate (BP) drugs independently in response to acidic and thiol-containing microenvironments, respectively. We apply a prodrug strategy to BP by conjugating it to HA via a self-immolative disulfide linker that is stable in the blood plasma and is cleavable in the cytoplasm. Moreover, we utilize HA-linked BP ligands to reversibly bind Ca2+ ions and form coordination hydrogels. Hydrazone coupling of hydrophobic ligands to HA permits the encapsulation of simvastatin molecules in the resulting amphiphilic HA derivative and the subsequent acid-triggered release of the drug. The conjugation of BP and hydrophobic ligands to HA enables preparation of both bulk self-healing hydrogels and nanogels. Moreover, the developed hydrogel system is shown to be multi-responsive by applying orthogonally cleavable linkers. The presented hydrogel is a potential candidate for the combination treatment of osteoporosis and bone cancers as well as for bone tissue regeneration since it can deliver bone anabolic and anti-catabolic agents in response to bone diseases microenvironments.

Long-Term Controlled Release of Simvastatin from Photoprinted Triple-Networked Hydrogels Composed of Modified Chitosan and PLA-PEG Micelles. Macromol Biosci 2021; 21:e2100123.

Abstract
Local delivery of active agents using injectable or implantable hydrogels for tissue and bone regeneration is a promising therapy, but it remains challenging for controlling dose and duration of release. Simvastatin (SMV), a hydrophobic drug, has shown potential for osteogenic stimulation. Secure loading of hydrophobic drugs by physical interactions is particularly difficult to establish in hydrophilic polymer matrices, and their sustained release over several months for long-term regeneration has rarely been reported. Additionally, mechanical properties of hydrogels must be improved for a sufficient support while maintaining eventual biodegradability. This study assesses the effect of controlled SMV release from 3D-printed triple-network hydrogels for osteogenic stimulation and characterizes their mechanical and biological properties as an implant. SMV is loaded into polymeric micelles of polylactide/poly(ethylene glycol) triblock copolymers (PLA-PEG-PLA) and mixed with N-methacryloyl chitosan and PEG dimethacrylate to fabricate hydrogels by photo-cross-linked 3D printing. The hydrogel properties and drug release profiles have shown significant dependance on the polymer compositions. The SMV release from the triple-polymer-network hydrogel has continued for 17 weeks of observation. Cytocompatibility of hydrogels with various formulations is confirmed. The tunable triple-network hydrogels loaded with SMV provide a potential therapeutic value for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Local drug delivery systems composed of biomaterials and osteogenic substances provide promising strategies for the reconstruction of large bone defects. In recent years, simvastatin has been studied extensively for its pleiotropic effects other than lowering of cholesterol, including its ability to induce osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Accordingly, several studies of simvastatin incorporated drug delivery systems have been performed to demonstrate the feasibility of such systems in enhancing bone regeneration. Therefore, this review explores the molecular mechanisms by which simvastatin affects bone metabolism and angiogenesis. The simvastatin concentrations that promote osteogenic differentiation are analyzed. Furthermore, we summarize and discuss a variety of simvastatin-loaded drug delivery systems that use different loading methods and materials. Finally, current shortcomings of and future development directions for simvastatin-loaded drug delivery systems are summarized. This review provides various advanced design strategies for simvastatin-incorporated drug delivery systems that can enhance bone regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels are polymeric networks highly swollen with water. Because of their versatility and properties mimicking biological tissues, they are very interesting for biomedical applications. In this aim, the control of porosity is of crucial importance since it governs the transport properties and influences the fate of cells cultured onto or into the hydrogels. Among the techniques allowing for the elaboration of hydrogels, photopolymerization or photo-cross-linking are probably the most powerful and versatile synthetic routes. This Review aims at giving an overview of the literature dealing with photopolymerized hydrogels for which the generation or characterization of porosity is studied. First, the materials (polymers and photoinitiating systems) used for synthesizing hydrogels are presented. The different ways for generating porosity in the photopolymerized hydrogels are explained, and the characterization techniques allowing adequate study of the porosity are presented. Finally, some applications in the field of controlled release and tissue engineering are reviewed.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on photocrosslinkable Hyaluronic Acid Methacrylate (HAMA) and Chondroitin Sulfate Methacrylate (CSMA) are presently under investigation for tissue engineering applications. HAMA and CSMA gels offer tunable characteristics such as tailorable mechanical properties, swelling characteristics, and enzymatic degradability. This review gives an overview of the scientific literature published regarding the pre-clinical development of covalently crosslinked hydrogels that (partially) are based on HAMA and/or CSMA. Throughout the review, recommendations for the next steps in clinical translation of hydrogels based on HAMA or CSMA are made and potential pitfalls are defined. Specifically, a myriad of different synthetic routes to obtain polymerizable hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate derivatives are described. The effects of important parameters such as degree of (meth)acrylation and molecular weight of the synthesized polymers on the formed hydrogels are discussed and useful analytical techniques for their characterization are summarized. Furthermore, the characteristics of the formed hydrogels including their enzymatic degradability are discussed. Finally, a summary of several recent applications of these hydrogels in applied fields such as cartilage and cardiac regeneration and advanced tissue modelling is presented.

Abstract
Despite the high regenerative capacity of bone tissue, there are some cases where bone repair is insufficient for a complete functional and structural recovery after damage. Current surgical techniques utilize natural and synthetic bone grafts for bone healing, as well as collagen sponges loaded with drugs. However, there are certain disadvantages associated with these techniques in clinical usage. To improve the therapeutic efficacy of bone tissue regeneration, a number of drug delivery systems based on biodegradable natural and synthetic polymers were developed and examined in in vitro and in vivo studies. Recent studies have demonstrated that biodegradable polymers play a key role in the development of innovative drug delivery systems and tissue engineered constructs, which improve the treatment and regeneration of damaged bone tissue. In this review, we discuss the most recent advances in the field of polymer-based drug delivery systems for the promotion of bone tissue regeneration and the physical-chemical modifications of polymers for controlled and sustained release of one or more drugs. In addition, special attention is given to recent developments on polymer nano- and microparticle-based drug delivery systems for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely distributed in the human body, and it is heavily involved in many physiological functions such as tissue hydration, wound repair, and cell migration. In recent years, HA and its derivatives have been widely used as advanced bioactive polymers for bone regeneration. Many medical products containing HA have been developed because this natural polymer has been proven to be nontoxic, noninflammatory, biodegradable, and biocompatible. Moreover, HA-based composite scaffolds have shown good potential for promoting osteogenesis and mineralization. Recently, many HA-based biomaterials have been fabricated for bone regeneration by combining with electrospinning and 3D printing technology. In this review, the polymer structures, processing, properties, and applications in bone tissue engineering are summarized. The challenges and prospects of HA polymers are also discussed.

Abstract
Despite considerable advances in microsurgical techniques over the past decades, bone tissue remains a challenging arena to obtain a satisfying functional and structural restoration after damage. Through the production of substituting materials mimicking the physical and biological properties of the healthy tissue, tissue engineering strategies address an urgent clinical need for therapeutic alternatives to bone autografts. By virtue of their structural versatility, polymers have a predominant role in generating the biodegradable matrices that hold the cells in situ to sustain the growth of new tissue until integration into the transplantation area (i.e., scaffolds). As compared to synthetic ones, polymers of natural origin generally present superior biocompatibility and bioactivity. Their assembly and further engineering give rise to a wide plethora of advanced supporting materials, accounting for systems based on hydrogels or scaffolds with either fibrous or porous architecture. The present review offers an overview of the various types of natural polymers currently adopted in bone tissue engineering, describing their manufacturing techniques and procedures of functionalization with active biomolecules, and listing the advantages and disadvantages in their respective use in order to critically compare their actual applicability potential. Their combination to other classes of materials (such as micro and nanomaterials) and other innovative strategies to reproduce physiological bone microenvironments in a more faithful way are also illustrated. The regeneration outcomes achieved in vitro and in vivo when the scaffolds are enriched with different cell types, as well as the preliminary clinical applications are presented, before the prospects in this research field are finally discussed. The collection of studies herein considered confirms that advances in natural polymer research will be determinant in designing translatable materials for efficient tissue regeneration with forthcoming impact expected in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Bone defects of critical size after compound fractures, infections, or tumor resections are a challenge in treatment. Particularly, this applies to bone defects in patients with impaired bone healing due to frequently occurring metabolic diseases (above all diabetes mellitus and osteoporosis), chronic inflammation, and cancer. Adjuvant therapeutic agents such as recombinant growth factors, lipid mediators, antibiotics, antiphlogistics, and proangiogenics as well as other promising anti-resorptive and anabolic molecules contribute to improving bone healing in these disorders, especially when they are released in a targeted and controlled manner during crucial bone healing phases. In this regard, the development of smart biocompatible and biostable polymers such as implant coatings, scaffolds, or particle-based materials for drug release is crucial. Innovative chemical, physico- and biochemical approaches for controlled tailor-made degradation or the stimulus-responsive release of substances from these materials, and more, are advantageous. In this review, we discuss current developments, progress, but also pitfalls and setbacks of such approaches in supporting or controlling bone healing. The focus is on the critical evaluation of recent preclinical studies investigating different carrier systems, dual- or co-delivery systems as well as triggered- or targeted delivery systems for release of a panoply of drugs.

Abstract
In this third in a series of reviews on adjuvant drug-assisted bone healing, further approaches aiming at influencing the healing process are discussed. Local and systemic modulation of bone metabolism is pursued with use of a number of drugs with completely different indications, which are characterized by a pleiotropic spectrum of action. These include drugs used to treat lipid disorders (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors), hypertension (ACE inhibitors), osteoporosis (bisphosphonates), cancer (proteasome inhibitors) and others. Potential applications to enhance bone healing are discussed.

Abstract
Statins are well-known lipid-lowering drugs. The pleiotropic effects of statins have brought about some beneficial effects on improving the therapeutic outcomes of cell therapy and tissue engineering approaches. In this review, the impact of statins on mesenchymal stem cell behaviors including differentiation, apoptosis, proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis, as well as molecular pathways which are responsible for such phenomena, are discussed. A better understanding of pathways and mechanisms of statin-mediated effects on mesenchymal stem cells will pave the way for the expansion of statin applications. Furthermore, since designing a suitable carrier for statins is required to maintain a sufficient dose of active statins at the desired site of the body, different systems for local delivery of statins are also reviewed.

Co-immobilization of CD133 antibodies, vascular endothelial growth factors, and REDV peptide promotes capture, proliferation, and differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells. Acta Biomater 2019; 96:137-148. [PMID: 31284097 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.07.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 06/26/2019] [Accepted: 07/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Capture of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in situ has been considered as a promising strategy for the rapid endothelialization and long-term patency of artificial blood vessels and implant devices. In this study, a CD133+ EPC capture surface was fabricated by grafting CD133 antibody (a more specific EPC surface marker than CD34) and Arg-Glu-Asp-Val (REDV) peptideon the methacrylate-grafted hyaluronic acid (MA-HA) and heparin-hybridized (MA-HA&Heparin) resisting layer. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was further conjugated to the immobilized heparin. This engineered surface showed good hemocompatibility and significantly higher ability of capturing CD133+ EPCs from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and obviously upregulated the expression of endothelial cell (EC) marker genes of EPCs such as VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2), CD31, VE-cadherin, and von Willebrand factor (vWF), facilitating the differentiation of EPCs into ECs. The dramatically enhanced EPC proliferation on this surface was dependent on the integrin-VEGFR synergistic signaling, as ERK1/2 phosphorylation was only significantly enhanced on the REDV and VEGF co-immobilized surface. This study highlights a new surface coating strategy for blood-contact materials based on the specific EPC capturing and rapid endothelialization. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Capture of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) in situ is a promising strategy for the rapid endothelialization and long-term patency of artificial blood vessels and scaffolds. More specific capture of EPCs by targeting CD133 rather than CD34 can better reduce the risk of inflammation and restenosis. On the other hand, an appropriate microenvironment for EPC proliferation is equally important for endothelialization, which is rarely considered by the existing EPC capture strategies. In this study, the capture ratio of EPCs was significantly increased by simultaneously grafting CD133 antibody and VEGF on a MA-HA and heparin-hybridized antifouling layer. Further, proliferation of EPCs after capture was significantly promoted by grafting VEGF and REDV peptide through the integrin-VEGFR synergistic signaling. This study highlights a new strategy for the surface coating of blood-contact materials based on specific EPC capture and rapid endothelialization.

Bone allografts combined with adipose-derived stem cells in an optimized cell/volume ratio showed enhanced osteogenesis and angiogenesis in a murine femur defect model. J Mol Med (Berl) 2019; 97:1439-1450.

Abstract
Critical sized defects, especially in long bones, pose one of the biggest problems in orthopedic surgery. By definition, these defects do not heal without further treatment. Different therapeutic options range from autologous bone grafts, for example, free vascularized bone grafts, to commercially available bone allografts. Disadvantages of these bone allografts are related to reduced osteogenesis, since they are solely composed of cell-free bone matrix. The purpose of this study was to investigate the cell seeding efficiency of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) on human bone allografts in vitro and furthermore analyze these optimized seeded allografts in a critical sized defect model in vivo. Cancellous human bone allografts were colonized with human ASCs in vitro. Cell seeding efficiency was evaluated by Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Thereafter, optimized hASC-seeded bone scaffolds were examined in a murine femur defect model, stabilized with the MouseExFix system. Subsequently, x-ray analysis and histology were performed. Examination of cell seeding efficiency revealed an optimum starting population of 84,600 cells per 100 mm3 scaffold. In addition, scaffolds seeded with hASCs showed increased osteogenesis compared with controls. Histological analysis revealed increased remodeling and elevated new bone formation within hASC-seeded scaffolds. Moreover, immunohistochemical stainings revealed increased proliferation, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis. In this study, we systemically optimized cell/volume ratio of two promising components of tissue engineering: hASCs and human bone allografts. These findings may serve as a basis for future translational studies. KEY MESSAGES: Bone tissue engineering. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from human adipose tissue (hASCs). Optimal cell/volume ratio of cell-seeded scaffolds. Increased osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vivo.

Abstract
Global increases in life expectancy drive increasing demands for bone regeneration. The gold standard for surgical bone repair is autografting, which enjoys excellent clinical outcomes; however, it possesses significant drawbacks including donor site morbidity and limited availability. Although collagen sponges delivered with bone morphogenetic protein, type 2 (BMP2) are a common alternative or supplement, they do not efficiently retain BMP2, necessitating extremely high doses to elicit bone formation. Hence, reports of BMP2 complications are rising, including cancer promotion and ectopic bone formation, the latter inducing complications such as breathing difficulties and neurologic impairments. Thus, efforts to exert spatial control over bone formation are increasing. Several tissue engineering approaches have demonstrated the potential for targeted and controlled bone formation. These approaches include biomaterial scaffolds derived from synthetic sources, e.g., calcium phosphates or polymers; natural sources, e.g., bone or seashell; and immobilized biofactors, e.g., BMP2. Although BMP2 is the only protein clinically approved for use in a surgical device, there are several proteins, small molecules, and growth factors that show promise in tissue engineering applications. This review profiles the tissue engineering advances in achieving control over the location and onset of bone formation (spatiotemporal control) toward avoiding the complications associated with BMP2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The use of injectable scaffolds as a minimally invasive method is a good choice in tissue engineering applications. A critical parameter for the tissue engineering scaffolds is a suitable morphology with interconnected pores. We present the development of a simvastatin loaded scaffold that forms in situ and provides the porous structure with interconnected pores. METHODS: The formulation of these scaffolds includes a polymeric solution of poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (25 wt%) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone containing 6 wt% deionized water and porogen (mannitol, four times the weight of the polymer). We have grafted simvastatin to poly lactic-co-glycolic acid by the esterification reactions. Simvastatin or simvastatin-grafted poly lactic-co-glycolic acid in different levels was added to polymer solution and finally the solution was injected into phosphate buffered saline. The simvastatin-grafted poly lactic-co-glycolic acid was characterized by attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infra-red and 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The morphology, porosity, and biocompatibility of the scaffolds were evaluated. The in vitro simvastatin release from the various formulations was studied. Osteogenic differentiation of the adipose-derived stem cells was investigated using alkaline phosphatase activity assay and cell mineralization was evaluated using Alizarin red staining. RESULTS: The morphology results showed the resultant scaffold was porous with the interconnected pores. The scaffolds presented 91% porosity. Non-toxic doses of simvastatin in the scaffolds were determined by methyl-thiazolyl diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay. The released simvastatin from the scaffolds continues over 80 days. Alkaline phosphatase activity and Alizarin red results indicated that cell osteogenic differentiation is promoted. CONCLUSION: The results demonstrated that release of simvastatin from the injectable scaffolds can have positive effects on osteogenic differentiation of the adipose-derived stem cells.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering scaffolds offer the merits of minimal invasion as well as localized and controlled biomolecule release to targeted sites. In this study, we prepared injectable hydrogel systems based on visible light-cured glycol chitosan (GC) hydrogels containing bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and/or transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) as scaffolds for bone formation in vitro and in vivo. The hydrogels were characterized by storage modulus, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and swelling ratio analyses. The developed hydrogel systems showed controlled releases of growth factors in a sustained manner for 30 days. In vitro and in vivo studies revealed that growth factor-loaded GC hydrogels have no cytotoxicity against MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell line, improved mRNA expressions of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), type I collagen (COL 1) and osteocalcin (OCN), and increased bone volume (BV) and bone mineral density (BMD) in tibia defect sites. Moreover, GC hydrogel containing BMP-2 (10 ng) and TGF-β1 (10 ng) (GC/BMP-2/TGF-β1-10 ng) showed greater bone formation abilities than that containing BMP-2 (5 ng) and TGF-β1 (5 ng) (GC/BMP-2/TGF-β1-5 ng) in vitro and in vivo. Consequently, the injectable GC/BMP-2/TGF-β1-10 ng hydrogel may have clinical potential for dental or orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) constitutes one of the major components of the extracellular matrix domain in almost all mammals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the regenerative capacity of HA matrix in rat calvarial bone defects and compare with those of different combinations of resorbable collagen membrane (M) and bovine-derived xenograft (G). Twenty-four 3-month-old male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200-250 g were included. Control group was created by leaving one defect empty from 2 critical size defects with 5 mm diameter formed in the calvarial bones of 8 rats. In the same rats, the other defect was treated with HA matrix alone. One of the 2 defects formed in other 8 rats was treated with HA+G and the other with HA+M. One of the 2 defects formed in the remaining 8 rats was treated with G+M and the other with HA+G+M. The animals were sacrificed at 4 weeks. Histologic, histomorphometric, and immunohistochemical analyses were performed. Both HA matrix alone and its combinations with G and M supported new bone formation (NBF). However, NBF was significantly greater in G+M and HA+G+M groups compared to control and HA alone (P<0.001). Bone morphogenetic protein-2 was expressed with varying degrees in all groups, without any difference among them. Within the limitations of the present study, HA matrix, used alone or in combination with G and M, did not contribute significantly to bone regeneration in rat calvarial bone defects.

Abstract
In this study, an injectable, photocurable gelatin system, consisting of acrylated gelatin and thiolated gelatin, with tunable mechanical, biodegradation, and biological properties was used as a potential cell-supportive scaffold for the repair of focal corneal wounds. The mechanical property of hydrogels can be readily modified (postcure shear modulus of between 0.3 and 22 kPa) by varying the ratio of acrylate to thiol groups, photointensity, and solid content, and the biodegradation times also varied with the change of solid content. More importantly, the generated hydrogels exhibited excellent cell viability in both cell seeding and cell encapsulation experiments. Furthermore, the hydrogels were found to be biocompatible with rabbit cornea and aided the regeneration of a new tissue under a focal corneal wound (exhibiting epithelial wound coverage in <3d), and ultraviolet irradiation did not have any obvious harmful effect on the cornea and posterior eye segment tissues. Along with their injectability and tunable mechanical properties, the photocurable thiol-acrylate hydrogels showed promise as corneal substitutes or substrates to construct a new corneal tissue.

Abstract
In bone regenerative medicine there is a need for suitable bone substitutes. Hydrogels have excellent biocompatible and biodegradable characteristics, but their visco-elastic properties limit their applicability, especially with respect to 3D bioprinting. In this study, we modified the naturally occurring extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronic acid (HA), in order to yield photo-crosslinkable hydrogels with increased mechanical stiffness and long-term stability, and with minimal decrease in cytocompatibility. Application of these tailor-made methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) gels for bone tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting was the subject of investigation. Visco-elastic properties of MeHA gels, measured by rheology and dynamic mechanical analysis, showed that irradiation of the hydrogels with UV light led to increased storage moduli and elastic moduli, indicating increasing gel rigidity. Subsequently, human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) were incorporated into MeHA hydrogels, and cell viability remained 64.4% after 21 days of culture. Osteogenic differentiation of MSCs occurred spontaneously in hydrogels with high concentrations of MeHA polymer, in absence of additional osteogenic stimuli. Addition of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) to the culture medium further increased osteogenic differentiation, as evidenced by increased matrix mineralisation. MeHA hydrogels demonstrated to be suitable for 3D bioprinting, and were printed into porous and anatomically shaped scaffolds. Taken together, photosensitive MeHA-based hydrogels fulfilled our criteria for cellular bioprinted bone constructs within a narrow window of concentration.

Chitosan-Based Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Controlled Drug Delivery to the Temporomandibular Joint. J Craniofac Surg 2017; 27:735-40.

Abstract
Intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) and corticosteroids have been extensively used in treating temporomandibular disorders. However, rapid clearance from the site of injection is a major concern that is commonly managed by frequent dosing, which is not without complications. This study aimed to determine the suitability of thermosensitive chitosan-based hydrogels for intra-articular controlled release of drugs in the rabbit temporomandibular joint (TMJ). A series of hydrogels were prepared using different chitosan (Ch) to β-glycerophosphate (β-GP) ratios. The gelation time, swelling ratio, the shape, and surface morphology of the prepared gels were investigated to select the formulation with optimum characteristics. The left TMJ in 13 adult male New Zealand white rabbits was injected with 0.2 mL of Chitosan/β-glycerophosphate/HA while the right TMJ was injected with 0.2 mL of control solution of HA. Hyaluronic acid concentrations in experimental and control groups were measured using Hyaluronan Quantikine Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Kit. In vitro characterization showed that both the Ch:β-GP ratio and incorporation of HA had a significant effect on gelation time, degree of swelling, and surface morphology of the hydrogels. No morphological changes were observed in the joints in both groups. The mean concentration of HA in the experimental joints after 7 days (1339.79 ± 244.98 μg/g) was significantly higher than that in the control (474.52 ± 79.36 μg/g). In conclusion, the chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogel can be considered as a promising controlled drug release system to the TMJ in a rabbit model that would potentially overcome many of the current limitations of intra-articular formulations.

Abstract
Biomaterials with both excellent osteogenic and angiogenic activities are desirable to repair massive bone defects. In this study, simvastatin with both osteogenic and angiogenic activities was incorporated into the mesoporous hydroxyapatite microspheres (MHMs) synthesized through a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method using fructose 1,6-bisphosphate trisodium salt (FBP) as an organic phosphorous source. The effects of the simvastatin-loaded MHMs (S-MHMs) on the osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) and angiogenesis in EA.hy926 cells were investigated. The results showed that the S-MHMs not only enhanced the expression of osteogenic markers in rBMSCs but also promoted the migration and tube formation of EA.hy926 cells. Furthermore, the S-MHMs were incorporated into collagen matrix to construct a novel S-MHMs/collagen composite scaffold. With the aid of MHMs, the water-insoluble simvastatin was homogenously incorporated into the hydrophilic collagen matrix and presented a sustained release profile. In vivo experiments showed that the S-MHMs/collagen scaffolds enhanced the bone regeneration and neovascularization simultaneously. These results demonstrated that the water-insoluble simvastatin could be incorporated into the MHMs and maintained its biological activities, more importantly, the S-MHMs/collagen scaffolds fabricated in this study are of immense potential in bone defect repair by enhancing osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously.
