Abstract
Medicine intervention is the major clinical treatment used to relieve the symptoms and delay the progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but is limited by its poor targeted delivery and short therapeutic duration. Herein, we developed an injectable and bioadhesive gelatin-based (Gel) hydrogel as a local depot of leonurine (Leon)-loaded and folate-functionalized polydopamine (FA-PDA@Leon) nanoparticles for anti-inflammation and chondroprotection in RA. The nanoparticles could protect Leon and facilitate its entry into the M1 phenotype macrophage for intracellular delivery of Leon, while the hydrogel tightly adhered to the tissues in the joint cavity and prolonged the retention of FA-PDA@Leon nanoparticles, thus achieving higher availability and therapeutic efficiency of Leon. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated that the Gel/FA-PDA@Leon hydrogel could strongly suppress the inflammatory response by down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in macrophages and protect the chondrocytes from ferritinophagy/ferroptosis. This contributed to maintaining the structural integrity of articular cartilage and accelerating the joint functional recovery. This work provides an effective and convenient strategy to achieve higher bioavailability and long-lasting therapeutic duration of medicine intervention in arthritis diseases.

Abstract
The residual bone tumor and defects which is caused by surgical therapy of bone tumor is a major and important problem in clinicals. And the sequential treatment for irradiating residual tumor and repairing bone defects has wildly prospects. In this study, we developed a general modification strategy by gallic acid (GA)-assisted coordination chemistry to prepare black calcium-based materials, which combines the sequential photothermal therapy of bone tumor and bone defects. The GA modification endows the materials remarkable photothermal properties. Under the near-infrared (NIR) irradiation with different power densities, the black GA-modified bone matrix (GBM) did not merely display an excellent performance in eliminating bone tumor with high temperature, but showed a facile effect of the mild-heat stimulation to accelerate bone regeneration. GBM can efficiently regulate the microenvironments of bone regeneration in a spatial-temporal manner, including inflammation/immune response, vascularization and osteogenic differentiation. Meanwhile, the integrin/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was revealed to be involved in the effect of osteogenesis induced by the mild-heat stimulation. The outcome of this study not only provides a serial of new multifunctional biomaterials, but also demonstrates a general strategy for designing novel blacked calcium-based biomaterials with great potential for clinical use.

Abstract
The effective repair of bone defects has long been a major challenge in clinical practice. Currently, research efforts mostly focus on achieving sufficiently good bone repair, with little attention paid to achieving both good and fast repair. However, achieving highly efficient (H-efficient) bone repair, which is both good and fast, can shorten the treatment cycle and facilitate rapid patient recovery. Therefore, the development of a H-efficient bone repair material is of significant importance. This study incorporated the previously developed osteoinductive photothermal agent (PTA) BPICT into printing paste to prepare a near-infrared (NIR)-responsive BPICT scaffold. Subsequently, the effects of photothermal therapy (PTT) on bone repair and drug release were assessed in vitro. To further validate the H-efficient bone repair properties of the BPICT scaffold, the scaffold was implanted into bone defects and its ability to promote bone repair in vivo was evaluated through radiology and histopathological analysis. The results indicated that compared to scaffolds containing only Icaritin (ICT), the BPICT scaffold can achieve PTT to promote bone repair through NIR irradiation, while also enabling the controlled release of ICT from the scaffold to enhance bone repair. Within the same observation period, the BPICT scaffold achieves more efficient bone repair than the ICT scaffold, significantly shortening the bone repair cycle while ensuring the effectiveness of bone repair. Therefore, the NIR-responsive scaffold based on PTT-mediated controlled release of bone growth factors represents a feasible solution for promoting H-efficient bone repair in the area of bone defects.

Abstract
This study focuses on designing and evaluating scaffolds with essential properties for bone regeneration, such as biocompatibility, macroporous geometry, mechanical strength, and magnetic responsiveness. The scaffolds are made using 3D printing with acrylic resin and iron oxides synthesized through solution combustion. Utilizing triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) geometry and mask stereolithography (MSLA) printing, the scaffolds achieve precise geometrical features. The mechanical properties are enhanced through resin curing, and magnetite particles from synthesized nanoparticles and alluvial magnetite are added for magnetic properties. The scaffolds show a balance between stiffness, porosity, and magnetic responsiveness, with maximum compression strength between 4.8 and 9.2 MPa and Young's modulus between 58 and 174 MPa. Magnetic properties such as magnetic coercivity, remanence, and saturation are measured, with the best results from scaffolds containing synthetic iron oxides at 1% weight. The viscosity of the mixtures used for printing is between 350 and 380 mPas, and contact angles between 90° and 110° are achieved. Biocompatibility tests indicate the potential for clinical trials, though further research is needed to understand the impact of magnetic properties on cellular interactions and optimize scaffold design for specific applications. This integrated approach offers a promising avenue for the development of advanced materials capable of promoting enhanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
In this research, a novel MgSiO3 fiber membrane (MSFM) loaded with indocyanine green (ICG) and doxorubicin (DOX) was prepared. Because of MgSiO3's unique lamellar structure composed of a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron, magnesium ion (Mg2+) moves easily and can be further replaced with other cations. Therefore, because of the positively charged functional group of ICG, MSFM has a rather high drug loading for ICG. In addition, there is electrostatic attraction between DOX (a cationic drug) and ICG (an anionic drug). Hence, after loading ICG, more DOX can be adsorbed into MSFM because of electrostatic interaction. The ICG endows the MSFM outstanding photothermal therapy (PTT) performance, and DOX as a chemotherapeutic drug can restrain tumor growth. On the one hand, H+ exchanged with the positively charged DOX based on the MgSiO3 special lamellar structure. On the other hand, the thermal effect could break the electrostatic interaction between ICG and DOX. Based on the above two points, both tumor acidic microenvironment and photothermal effect can trigger DOX release. What's more, in vitro and in vivo antiosteosarcoma therapy evaluations displayed a superior synergetic PTT-chemotherapy anticancer treatment and excellent biocompatibility of DOX&ICG-MSFM. Finally, the MSFM was proven to greatly promote cell proliferation, differentiation, and bone regeneration performance in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, MSFM provides a creative perspective in the design of multifunctional scaffolds and shows promising applications in controlled drug delivery, antitumor performance, and osteogenesis.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration and remodeling involve many complex stages. Macrophages are critical in maintaining micro-environmental homeostasis by regulating inflammation and orchestrating wound healing. They display high plasticity in response to various stimuli, showing a spectrum of functional phenotypes that vary from M1 (pro-inflammatory) to M2 (anti-inflammatory) macrophages. While transient inflammation is an essential trigger for tissue healing following an injury, sustained inflammation (e.g., in foreign body response to implants, diabetes or inflammatory diseases) can hinder tissue healing and cause tissue damage. Modulating macrophage polarization has emerged as an effective strategy for enhancing immune-mediated tissue regeneration and promoting better integration of implantable materials in the host. This article provides an overview of macrophages' functional properties followed by discussing different strategies for modulating macrophage polarization. Advances in the use of synthetic and natural biomaterials to fabricate immune-modulatory materials are highlighted. This reveals that the development and clinical application of more effective immunomodulatory systems targeting macrophage polarization under pathological conditions will be driven by a detailed understanding of the factors that regulate macrophage polarization and biological function in order to optimize existing methods and generate novel strategies to control cell phenotype.

Abstract
Efferocytosis-mediated inflammatory reversal plays a crucial role in bone repairing process. However, in refractory bone defects, the macrophage continual efferocytosis may be suppressed due to the disrupted microenvironment homeostasis, particularly the loss of apoptotic signals and overactivation of intracellular oxidative stress. In this study, a polydopamine-coated short fiber matrix containing biomimetic "apoptotic signals" to reconstruct the microenvironment and reactivate macrophage continual efferocytosis for inflammatory reversal and bone defect repair is presented. The "apoptotic signals" (AM/CeO2) are prepared using CeO2 nanoenzymes with apoptotic neutrophil membrane coating for macrophage recognition and oxidative stress regulation. Additionally, a short fiber "biomimetic matrix" is utilized for loading AM/CeO2 signals via abundant adhesion sites involving π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding interactions. Ultimately, the implantable apoptosis-mimetic nanoenzyme/short-fiber matrixes (PFS@AM/CeO2), integrating apoptotic signals and biomimetic matrixes, are constructed to facilitate inflammatory reversal and reestablish the pro-efferocytosis microenvironment. In vitro and in vivo data indicate that the microenvironment biomimetic short fibers can activate macrophage continual efferocytosis, leading to the suppression of overactivated inflammation. The enhanced repair of rat femoral defect further demonstrates the osteogenic potential of the pro-efferocytosis strategy. It is believed that the regulation of macrophage efferocytosis through microenvironment biomimetic materials can provide a new perspective for tissue repair.

Abstract
The ideal tissue engineering scaffold should facilitate rapid cell infiltration and provide an optimal immune microenvironment during interactions with the host. Electrospinning can produce two-dimensional (2D) membranes mimicking the extracellular matrix. However, their dense structure hinders cell penetration, and their thin form restricts scaffold utility. In this study, latticed hydrogels were three-dimensional (3D) printed onto electrospun membranes. This technique allowed for layer-by-layer assembly of the membranes into 3D scaffolds, which maintained their resilience impressively under both dry and wet conditions. We assessed the cellular and host responses of these 3D nanofiber scaffolds by comparing random membranes and mesh-like membranes with three different mesh sizes (250, 500, and 750 μm). It was found that scaffolds with a mesh size of 500 μm were superior for M2 macrophage phenotype polarization, vascularization, and matrix deposition. Furthermore, it was confirmed by subsequent experiments such as RNA sequencing that the mesh-like topology may promote polarization to the M2 phenotype by affecting the PI3K/AKT pathway. In conclusion, our work offers a novel method for transforming 2D nanofiber membranes into 3D scaffolds. This method boasts flexibility, allowing for the use of varied electrospun membranes and hydrogels in terms of structure and composition. It has vast potential in tissue repair and regeneration.

[PMID: 38830871 PMCID: PMC11148019 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-62484-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Surface structure plays a crucial role in determining cell behavior on biomaterials, influencing cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, as well as immune cells and macrophage polarization. While grooves and ridges stimulate M2 polarization and pits and bumps promote M1 polarization, these structures do not accurately mimic the real bone surface. Consequently, the impact of mimicking bone surface topography on macrophage polarization remains unknown. Understanding the synergistic sequential roles of M1 and M2 macrophages in osteoimmunomodulation is crucial for effective bone tissue engineering. Thus, exploring the impact of bone surface microstructure mimicking biomaterials on macrophage polarization is critical. In this study, we aimed to sequentially activate M1 and M2 macrophages using Poly-L-Lactic acid (PLA) membranes with bone surface topographical features mimicked through the soft lithography technique. To mimic the bone surface topography, a bovine femur was used as a model surface, and the membranes were further modified with collagen type-I and hydroxyapatite to mimic the bone surface microenvironment. To determine the effect of these biomaterials on macrophage polarization, we conducted experimental analysis that contained estimating cytokine release profiles and characterizing cell morphology. Our results demonstrated the potential of the hydroxyapatite-deposited bone surface-mimicked PLA membranes to trigger sequential and synergistic M1 and M2 macrophage polarizations, suggesting their ability to achieve osteoimmunomodulatory macrophage polarization for bone tissue engineering applications. Although further experimental studies are required to completely investigate the osteoimmunomodulatory effects of these biomaterials, our results provide valuable insights into the potential advantages of biomaterials that mimic the complex microenvironment of bone surfaces.

A sponge-like nanofiber melatonin-loaded scaffold accelerates vascularized bone regeneration via improving mitochondrial energy metabolism. Mater Today Bio 2024; 26:101078. [PMID: 38765244 PMCID: PMC11101953 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101078] [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: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 04/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers have been widely employed in bone tissue engineering for their ability to mimic the micro to nanometer scale network of the native bone extracellular matrix. However, the dense fibrous structure and limited mechanical support of these nanofibers pose challenges for the treatment of critical size bone defects. In this study, we propose a facile approach for creating a three-dimensional scaffold using interconnected electrospun nanofibers containing melatonin (Scaffold@MT). The hypothesis posited that the sponge-like Scaffold@MT could potentially enhance bone regeneration and angiogenesis by modulating mitochondrial energy metabolism. Melatonin-loaded gelatin and poly-lactic-acid nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning, then fragmented into shorter fibers. The sponge-like Scaffold@MT was created through a process involving homogenization, low-temperature lyophilization, and chemical cross-linking, while maintaining the microstructure of the continuous nanofibers. The incorporation of short nanofibers led to a low release of melatonin and increased Young's modulus of the scaffold. Scaffold@MT demonstrated positive biocompatibility by promoting a 14.2 % increase in cell proliferation. In comparison to the control group, Scaffold@MT significantly enhanced matrix mineralization by 3.2-fold and upregulated the gene expression of osteoblast-specific markers, thereby facilitating osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Significantly, Scaffold@MT led to a marked enhancement in the mitochondrial energy function of BMMSCs, evidenced by elevated adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, mitochondrial membrane potential, and protein expression of respiratory chain factors. Furthermore, Scaffold@MT promoted the migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and increased tube formation by 1.3 times compared to the control group, accompanied by an increase in vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) expression. The results of in vivo experiments indicate that the implantation of Scaffold@MT significantly improved vascularized bone regeneration in a distal femur defect in rats. Micro-computed tomography analysis conducted 8 weeks post-surgery revealed that Scaffold@MT led to optimal development of new bone microarchitecture. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses demonstrated that Scaffold@MT facilitated bone matrix deposition and new blood vessel formation at the defect site. Overall, the utilization of melatonin-loaded nanofiber sponges exhibits significant promise as a scaffold that promotes bone growth and angiogenesis, making it a viable option for the repair of critical-sized bone defects.

Abstract
Cellulose-based polymer scaffolds are highly diverse for designing and fabricating artificial bone substitutes. However, realizing the multi-biological functions of cellulose-based scaffolds has long been challenging. In this work, inspired by the structure and function of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone, we developed a novel yet feasible strategy to prepare ECM-like scaffolds with hybrid calcium/zinc mineralization. The 3D porous structure was formed via selective oxidation and freeze drying of bacterial cellulose. Following the principle of electrostatic interaction, calcium/zinc hybrid hydroxyapatite nucleated, crystallized, and precipitated on the 3D scaffold in simulated physiological conditions, which was well confirmed by morphology and composition analysis. Compared with alternative scaffold cohorts, this hybrid ion-loaded cellulose scaffold exhibited a pronounced elevation in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteogenic gene expression, and cranial defect regeneration. Notably, the hybrid ion-loaded cellulose scaffold effectively fostered an M2 macrophage milieu and had a strong immune effect in vivo. In summary, this study developed a hybrid multifunctional cellulose-based scaffold that appropriately simulates the ECM to regulate immunomodulatory and osteogenic differentiation, setting a measure for artificial bone substitutes.

Absorbable calcium and phosphorus bioactive membranes promote bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation for bone regeneration. Open Life Sci 2024; 19:20220854.

Abstract
Large segmental bone defects are commonly operated with autologous bone grafting, which has limited bone sources and poses additional surgical risks. In this study, we fabricated poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) composite membranes by electrostatic spinning and further promoted osteogenesis by regulating the release of β-TCP in the hope of replacing autologous bone grafts in the clinical practice. The addition of β-TCP improved the mechanical strength of PLGA by 2.55 times. Moreover, β-TCP could accelerate the degradation of PLGA and neutralize the negative effects of acidification of the microenvironment caused by PLGA degradation. In vitro experiments revealed that PLGA/TCP10 membranes are biocompatible and the released β-TCP can modulate the activity of osteoblasts by enhancing the calcium ions concentration in the damaged area and regulating the pH of the local microenvironment. Simultaneously, an increase in β-TCP can moderate the lactate content of the local microenvironment, synergistically enhancing osteogenesis by promoting the tube-forming effect of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Therefore, it is potential to utilize PLGA/TCP bioactive membranes to modulate the microenvironment at the site of bone defects to promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE This review aims to provide an overview of the multiple functions of neutrophils, with the recognition of the inflammatory (N1) and regenerative (N2) phenotypes, in relation to fracture healing. METHODS A literature search was performed using the PubMed database. The quality of the articles was evaluated using critical appraisal checklists. RESULTS Thirty one studies were included in this review. These studies consistently support that neutrophils exert both beneficial and detrimental effects on bone regeneration, influenced by Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin 8 (IL-8), mast cells, and macrophages. The N2 phenotype has recently emerged as one promoter of bone healing. The N1 phenotype has progressively been connected with inflammatory neutrophils during fracture healing. CONCLUSIONS This review has pinpointed various aspects and mechanisms of neutrophil influence on bone healing. The recognition of N1 and N2 neutrophil phenotypes potentially shed new light on the dynamic shifts taking place within the Fracture Hematoma (FH).

Abstract
Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) is crucial for bone and cartilage tissue regeneration, essential in medical tissue engineering, cosmetology, and aerospace. However, its cost and degradation susceptibility pose significant clinical challenges. To enhance its osteogenic activity while reducing dosage and administration frequency, we developed a novel long-acting BMP4 delivery system using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PBVHx) nanoparticles with soybean lecithin-modified BMP4 (sBP-NPs). These nanoparticles promote directed osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) through sustained BMP4 release. sBP-NPs exhibited uniform size (100-200 nm) and surface charges, with higher BMP4 entrapment efficiency (82.63 %) compared to controls. After an initial burst release within 24 h, sBP-NPs achieved 80 % cumulative BMP4 release within 20 days, maintaining levels better than control BP-NPs with unmodified BMP4. Co-incubation and nanoparticle uptake experiments confirmed excellent biocompatibility of sBP-NPs, promoting hBMSC differentiation towards osteogenic lineage with increased expression of type I collagen, calcium deposition, and ALP activity (> 20,000 U/g protein) compared to controls. Moreover, hBMSCs treated with sBP-NPs exhibited heightened expression of osteogenic genetic markers, surpassing control groups. Hence, this innovative strategy of sustained BMP4 release from sBP-NPs holds potential to revolutionize bone regeneration in minimally invasive surgery, medical cosmetology or space environments.

Abstract
We recently reported the potential of a new gallium compound, gallium acetylacetonate (GaAcAc) in combating osteoclastic bone resorption through inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and function. Herein, we focused on 3D-printed polylactic acid scaffolds that were loaded with GaAcAc and investigated the impact of scaffold pretreatment with polydopamine (PDA) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH). We observed a remarkable increase in scaffold hydrophilicity with PDA or NaOH pretreatment while biocompatibility and in vitro degradation were not affected. NaOH-pretreated scaffolds showed the highest amount of GaAcAc loading when compared to other scaffolds (p < 0.05). NaOH-pretreated scaffolds with GaAcAc loading showed effective reduction of osteoclast counts and size. The trend was supported by suppression of key osteoclast differentiation markers such as NFAT2, c-Fos, TRAF6, & TRAP. All GaAcAc-loaded scaffolds, regardless of surface pretreatment, were effective in inhibiting osteoclast function as evidenced by reduction in the number of resorptive pits in bovine cortical bone slices (p < 0.01). The suppression of osteoclast function according to the type of scaffold followed the ranking: GaAcAc loading without surface pretreatment > GaAcAc loading with NaOH pretreatment > GaAcAc loading with PDA pretreatment. Additional studies will be needed to fully elucidate the impact of surface pretreatment on the efficacy and safety of GaAcAc-loaded 3D-printed scaffolds.

M2 macrophage-derived exosome-functionalized topological scaffolds regulate the foreign body response and the coupling of angio/osteoclasto/osteogenesis. Acta Biomater 2024; 177:91-106.

Abstract
Designing scaffolds that can regulate the innate immune response and promote vascularized bone regeneration holds promise for bone tissue engineering. Herein, electrospun scaffolds that combined physical and biological cues were fabricated by anchoring reparative M2 macrophage-derived exosomes onto topological pore structured nanofibrous scaffolds. The topological pore structure of the fiber and the immobilization of exosomes increased the nanoscale roughness and hydrophilicity of the fibrous scaffold. In vitro cell experiments showed that exosomes could be internalized by target cells to promote cell migration, tube formation, osteogenic differentiation, and anti-inflammatory macrophage polarization. The activation of fibrosis, angiogenesis, and macrophage was elucidated during the exosome-functionalized fibrous scaffold-mediated foreign body response (FBR) in subcutaneous implantation in mice. The exosome-functionalized nanofibrous scaffolds also enhanced vascularized bone formation in a critical-sized rat cranial bone defect model. Importantly, histological analysis revealed that the biofunctional scaffolds regulated the coupling effect of angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and osteogenesis by stimulating type H vessel formation. This study elaborated on the complex processes within the cell microenvironment niche during fibrous scaffold-mediated FBR and vascularized bone regeneration to guide the design of implants or devices used in orthopedics and maxillofacial surgery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: How to design scaffold materials that can regulate the local immune niche and truly achieve functional vascularized bone regeneration still remain an open question. Here, combining physical and biological cues, we proposed new insight to cell-free and growth factor-free therapy, anchoring reparative M2 macrophage-derived exosomes onto topological pore structured nanofibrous scaffolds. The exosomes functionalized-scaffold system mitigated foreign body response, including excessive fibrosis, tumor-like vascularization, and macrophage activation. Importantly, the biofunctional scaffolds regulated the coupling effect of angiogenesis, osteoclastogenesis, and osteogenesis by stimulating type H vessel formation.

Abstract
Macrophage-mediated bone immune responses significantly influence the repair of bone defects when utilizing tissue-engineered scaffolds. Notably, the scaffolds' physical structure critically impacts macrophage polarization. The optimal pore size for facilitating bone repair remains a topic of debate due to the imprecision of traditional methods in controlling scaffold pore dimensions and spatial architecture. In this investigation, we utilized fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology to fabricate high-precision porous polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds, aiming to elucidate the impact of pore size on macrophage polarization. We assessed the scaffolds' mechanical attributes and biocompatibility. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of macrophage-related genes, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for cytokine secretion levels.In vitroosteogenic capacity was determined through alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining. Our findings indicated that macroporous scaffolds enhanced macrophage adhesion and drove their differentiation towards the M2 phenotype. This led to the increased production of anti-inflammatory factors and a reduction in pro-inflammatory agents, highlighting the scaffolds' immunomodulatory capabilities. Moreover, conditioned media from macrophages cultured on these macroporous scaffolds bolstered the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, exhibiting superior osteogenic differentiation potential. Consequently, FDM-fabricated PCL scaffolds, with precision-controlled pore sizes, present promising prospects as superior materials for bone tissue engineering, leveraging the regulation of macrophage polarization.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common chronic degenerative joint disease in middle-aged and elderly people, characterized by joint pain and dysfunction. Macrophages are key players in OA pathology, and their activation state has been studied extensively. Various studies have suggested that macrophages might respond to stimuli in their microenvironment by changing their phenotypes to pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory phenotypes, which is called macrophage polarization. Macrophages accumulate and become polarized (M1 or M2) in many tissues, such as synovium, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and bone mesenchymal tissues in joints, while resident macrophages as well as other stromal cells, including fibroblasts, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts, form the joint and function as an integrated unit. In this study, we focus exclusively on synovial macrophages, adipose tissue macrophages, and osteoclasts, to investigate their roles in the development of OA. We review recent key findings related to macrophage polarization and OA, including pathogenesis, molecular pathways, and therapeutics. We summarize several signaling pathways in macrophage reprogramming related to OA, including NF-κB, MAPK, TGF-β, JAK/STAT, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and NLRP3. Of note, despite the increasing availability of treatments for osteoarthritis, like intra-articular injections, surgery, and cellular therapy, the demand for more effective clinical therapies has remained steady. Therefore, we also describe the current prospective therapeutic methods that deem macrophage polarization to be a therapeutic target, including physical stimulus, chemical compounds, and biological molecules, to enhance cartilage repair and alleviate the progression of OA.

A xonotlite nanofiber bioactive 3D-printed hydrogel scaffold based on osteo-/angiogenesis and osteoimmune microenvironment remodeling accelerates vascularized bone regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coordination between osteo-/angiogenesis and the osteoimmune microenvironment is essential for effective bone repair with biomaterials. As a highly personalized and precise biomaterial suitable for repairing complex bone defects in clinical practice, it is essential to endow 3D-printed scaffold the above key capabilities. RESULTS Herein, by introducing xonotlite nanofiber (Ca6(Si6O17) (OH)2, CS) into the 3D-printed silk fibroin/gelatin basal scaffold, a novel bone repair system named SGC was fabricated. It was noted that the incorporation of CS could greatly enhance the chemical and mechanical properties of the scaffold to match the needs of bone regeneration. Besides, benefiting from the addition of CS, SGC scaffolds could accelerate osteo-/angiogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and meanwhile reprogram macrophages to establish a favorable osteoimmune microenvironment. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that SGC scaffolds could efficiently stimulate bone repair and create a regeneration-friendly osteoimmune microenvironment. Mechanistically, we discovered that SGC scaffolds may achieve immune reprogramming in macrophages through a decrease in the expression of Smad6 and Smad7, both of which participate in the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling pathway. CONCLUSION Overall, this study demonstrated the clinical potential of the SGC scaffold due to its favorable pro-osteo-/angiogenic and osteoimmunomodulatory properties. In addition, it is a promising strategy to develop novel bone repair biomaterials by taking osteoinduction and osteoimmune microenvironment remodeling functions into account.

Abstract
In order to repair critical-sized bone defects, various polylactic acid-glycolic acid (PLGA)-based hybrid scaffolds are successfully developed as bone substitutes. However, the byproducts of these PLGA-based scaffolds are known to acidify the implanted site, inducing tiresome acidic inflammation. Moreover, these degradation productions cannot offer an osteo-friendly microenvironment at the implanted site, matching natural bone healing. Herein, inspired by bone microenvironment atlas of natural bone-healing process, an osteo-microenvironment stage-regulative scaffold (P80/D10/M10) is fabricated by incorporating self-developed decellularized bone matrix microparticles (DBM-MPs) and multifunctional magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles (MH-NPs) into PLGA with an optimized proportion using low-temperature rapid prototyping (LT-RP) 3D-printing technology. The cell experiments show that this P80/D10/M10 exhibits excellent properties in mechanics, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, meanwhile superior stimulations in osteo-immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Additionally, the animal experiments determined that this P80/D10/M10 can offer an osteo-friendly microenvironment in a stage-matched pattern for enhanced bone regeneration, namely, optimization of early inflammation, middle neovascularization, and later bone formation. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis suggested that the in vivo performance of P80/D10/M10 on bone defect repair is mostly attributed to regulating artery development, bone development, and bone remodeling. Overall, this study reveals that the osteo-microenvironment stage-regulative scaffold provides a promising treatment for bone defect repair.

Abstract
The osteoimmune microenvironment induced by implants plays a significant role in bone regeneration. It is essential to efficiently and timely switch the macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2 for optimal bone healing. This study examined the impact of a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on the physiochemical properties of highly ordered polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds fabricated using melt electrowritten (MEW). Additionally, it investigated the influence of these scaffolds on macrophage polarization and their immunomodulation on osteogenesis. The results revealed that the CaP coated PCL scaffold exhibited a rougher surface topography and higher hydrophilicity in comparison to the PCL scaffold without coating. Besides, the surface morphology of the coating and the release of Ca2+ from the CaP coating were crucial in regulating the transition of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotypes. They might activate the PI3K/AKT and cAMP-PKA pathways, respectively, to facilitate M2 polarization. In addition, the osteoimmune microenvironment induced by CaP coated PCL could not only enhance the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro but also promote the bone regeneration in vivo. Taken together, the CaP coating can be employed to control the phenotypic switching of macrophages, thereby creating a beneficial immunomodulatory microenvironment that promotes bone regeneration.

Abstract
Objective: To explore and construct a 3D bone remodeling research model displaying stability, repeatability, and precise simulation of the physiological and biochemical environment in vivo. Methods: In this study, 3D bioprinting was used to construct a bone reconstruction model. Sodium alginate (SA), hydroxyapatite (HA) and gelatin (Gel) were mixed into hydrogel as scaffold material. The osteoblast precursor cells MC3T3-E1 and osteoclast precursor cells RAW264.7 were used as seed cells, which may or may not be separated by polycarbonate membrane. The cytokines osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) were used to induce cell differentiation. The function of scaffolds in the process of bone remodeling was analyzed by detecting the related markers of osteoblasts (alkaline phosphatase, ALP) and osteoclasts (tartrate resistant acid phosphatase, TRAP). Results: The scaffold showed good biocompatibility and low toxicity. The surface morphology aided cell adhesion and growth. The scaffold had optimum degradability, water absorption capacity and porosity, which are in line with the conditions of biological experiments. The effect of induced differentiation of cells was the best when cultured alone. After direct contact between the two types of cells at 2D or 3D level, the induced differentiation of cells was inhibited to varying degrees, although they still showed osteogenesis and osteoclast. After the cells were induced by indirect contact culture, the effect of induced differentiation improved when compared with direct contact culture, although it was still not as good as that of single culture. On the whole, the effect of inducing differentiation at 3D level was the same as that at 2D level, and its relative gene expression and enzyme activity were higher than that in the control group. Hence the scaffold used in this study could induce osteogenesis as well as osteoclast, thereby rendering it more effective in inducing new bone formation. Conclusion: This method can be used to construct the model of 3D bone remodeling mechanism.

Abstract
The development of minimally invasive technology has promoted the widespread use of implant interventional materials, which play an important role in alleviating patients' pain during and after surgery. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and their related hybrids formed by bridging ligands and metal nodes via covalent bonds represent one of the smart platforms in implant interventional fields due to their large surface area, adjustable compositions and structures, biodegradability, etc. Significant progresses in the implantation application of MOF-based materials have been achieved recently, but these studies are still in the initial stage. This review highlights the recent advances of MOFs and their related hybrids in orthopedic implantation, cardio-vascular implantation, neural tissue engineering, and biochemical sensing. Each correction between the structural features of MOFs and their corresponding implanted works is highlighted. Finally, the confronting challenges and future perspectives in the implant interventional field are discussed.

Abstract
Immunoregulation mediated bone tissue engineering (BTE) has demonstrated huge potential in promoting repair of critical-size bone defects (CSBDs). The trade-off between stable immunoregulation function and extended immunoregulation period has posed a great challenge to this strategy. Here, we reported a 3D porous biodegradable Poly(HEMA-co-3APBA)/LUT scaffold, in which reversible boronic acid ester bond was formed between the 3APBA moiety and the catechol moiety of luteolin (LUT). The boronic acid ester bond not only protected the bioactivity of LUT but also extended the release period of LUT. The rationale behind the phenomenon of sustained LUT release was explained using a classical transition state theory. In vitro/in vivo assays proved the immunoregulation function of the scaffold in inducing M2 polarization of both M0 and M1 Mφ. The crosstalk between the scaffold treated Raw 264.7 and BMSCs were also investigated through the in vitro co-culture assay. The results demonstrated that the scaffold could induce immunoregulation mediated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, CSBDs model of SD rats was also applied, and the corresponding data proved that the scaffold could accelerate new bone formation, therefore promoting repair of CSBDs. The as-prepared scaffold might be a promising candidate for repair of CSBDs in the future.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects remains a substantial clinical challenge due to the lack of spatiotemporal management of the immune microenvironment, revascularization, and osteogenic differentiation. Herein, deferoxamine (DFO)-loaded black phosphorus nanosheets decorated by polydopamine layer are prepared (BPPD) and compounded into gelatin methacrylate/sodium alginate methacrylate (GA) hybrid hydrogel as a smart-responsive therapeutic system (GA/BPPD) for accelerated bone regeneration. The BPPD nanocomposites served as bioactive components and near-infrared (NIR) photothermal agents, which conferred the hydrogel with excellent NIR/pH dual-responsive properties, realizing the stimuli-responsive release of DFO and PO4 3 - during bone regeneration. Under the action of NIR-triggered mild photothermal therapy, the GA/BPPD hydrogel exhibited a positive effect on promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis, eliminating excessive reactive oxygen species, and inducing macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype. More significantly, through macrophage M2 polarization-induced osteoimmune microenvironment, this hydrogel platform could also drive functional cytokine secretion for enhanced angiogenesis and osteogenesis. In vivo experiments further demonstrated that the GA/BPPD system could facilitate bone healing by attenuating the local inflammatory response, increasing the secretion of pro-healing factors, stimulating endogenous cell recruitment, and accelerating revascularization. Collectively, the proposed intelligent photothermal hydrogel platform provides a promising strategy to reshape the damaged tissue microenvironment for augmented bone regeneration.

Abstract
A fundamental understanding of inflammation and tissue healing suggests that the precise regulation of the inflammatory phase, both in terms of location and timing, is crucial for bone regeneration. However, achieving the activation of early inflammation without causing chronic inflammation while facilitating quick inflammation regression to promote bone regeneration continues to pose challenges. This study reveals that black phosphorus (BP) accelerates bone regeneration by building an osteogenic immunological microenvironment. BP amplifies the acute pro-inflammatory response and promotes the secretion of anti-inflammatory factors to accelerate inflammation regression and tissue regeneration. Mechanistically, BP creates an osteoimmune-friendly microenvironment by stimulating macrophages to express interleukin 33 (IL-33), amplifying the inflammatory response at an early stage, and promoting the regression of inflammation. In addition, BP-mediated IL-33 expression directly promotes osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which further facilitates bone repair. To the knowledge, this is the first study to reveal the immunomodulatory potential of BP in bone regeneration through the regulation of both early-stage inflammatory responses and later-stage inflammation resolution, along with the associated molecular mechanisms. This discovery serves as a foundation for the clinical use of BP and is an efficient approach for managing the immune microenvironment during bone regeneration.

Abstract
Along with the rapid and extensive advancements in the 3D printing field, a diverse range of uses for 3D printing have appeared in the spectrum of medical applications. Vat photopolymerization (VPP) stands out as one of the most extensively researched methods of 3D printing, with its main advantages being a high printing speed and the ability to produce high-resolution structures. A major challenge in using VPP 3D-printed materials in medicine is the general incompatibility of standard VPP resin mixtures with the requirements of biocompatibility and biofunctionality. Instead of developing completely new materials, an alternate approach to solving this problem involves adapting existing biomaterials. These materials are incompatible with VPP 3D printing in their pure form but can be adapted to the VPP chemistry and general process through the use of innovative mixtures and the addition of specific pre- and post-printing steps. This review's primary objective is to highlight biofunctional and biocompatible materials that have been adapted to VPP. We present and compare the suitability of these adapted materials to different medical applications and propose other biomaterials that could be further adapted to the VPP 3D printing process in order to fulfill patient-specific medical requirements.

Abstract
The skeleton is a highly innervated organ in which nerve fibers interact with various skeletal cells. Peripheral nerve endings release neurogenic factors and sense skeletal signals, which mediate bone metabolism and skeletal pain. In recent years, bone tissue engineering has increasingly focused on the effects of the nervous system on bone regeneration. Simultaneous regeneration of bone and nerves through the use of materials or by the enhancement of endogenous neurogenic repair signals has been proven to promote functional bone regeneration. Additionally, emerging information on the mechanisms of skeletal interoception and the central nervous system regulation of bone homeostasis provide an opportunity for advancing biomaterials. However, comprehensive reviews of this topic are lacking. Therefore, this review provides an overview of the relationship between nerves and bone regeneration, focusing on tissue engineering applications. We discuss novel regulatory mechanisms and explore innovative approaches based on nerve-bone interactions for bone regeneration. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of this field are briefly discussed.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration/fibrosis after injury is intricately regulated by the immune cascade reaction and extracellular matrix (ECM). Dysregulated cascade signal could jeopardize tissue homeostasis leading to fibrosis. Bioactive scaffolds mimicking natural ECM microstructure and chemistry could regulate the cascade reaction to achieve tissue regeneration. The current study constructed an ECM-engineered micro/nanofibrous scaffold using self-assembled nanofibrous collagen and decorin (DCN)-loaded microfibers to regulate the immune cascade reaction. The ECM-engineered scaffold promoted anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative effects, M2 polarization of macrophages, by nanofibrous collagen. The ECM-engineered scaffold could release DCN to inhibit inflammation-associated fibrous angiogenesis. Yet, to prevent excessive M2 activity leading to tissue fibrosis, controlled release of DCN was expected to elicit M1 activity and achieve M1/M2 balance in the repair process. Regulated cascade reaction guided favorable crosstalk between macrophages, endothelial cells and fibroblasts by proximity. Additionally, decorin could also antagonize TGF-β1 via TGF-β/Smad3 pathway to suppress fibrotic activity of fibroblasts. Hence, ECM-engineered scaffolds could exert effective regulation of the immune cascade reaction by microstructure and DCN release and achieve the balance between tissue fibrosis and regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: With the incidence of up to 74.6%, failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) has been a lingering issue in spine surgery, which poses a heavy socio-economic burden to society. Epidural fibrosis is believed to be responsible for the onset of FBSS. Current biomaterial-based strategies treating epidural fibrosis mainly rely on physical barriers and unidirectional suppression of inflammation. Regulation of the immune cascade reaction for inhibiting fibrosis has not been widely studied. Based on the simultaneous regulation of M1/M2 polarization and intercellular crosstalk, the ECM-engineered micro/nanofibrous scaffolds constructed in the current study could exert an immune cascade effect to coordinate tissue regeneration and inhibit fibrosis. This finding makes a significant contribution in the development of a treatment for epidural fibrosis and FBSS.

Abstract
The periosteum plays a critical role in bone development, shaping, remodeling, and fracture healing due to its abundance of osteoprogenitor cells, osteoblasts, and capillary network. However, the role of periosteum in bone injury healing has been underestimated, thus there is an urgent need to develop a multifunctional artificial periosteum that mimics the natural one. To tackle this issue, electrospinning technology was employed to fabricate an artificial periosteum composed of Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) doped with tantalum (Ta) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles to enhance its antibacterial, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties. The in vitro cell experiments have demonstrated that the PCL/Ta/ZnO artificial periosteum exhibits excellent biocompatibility and can effectively facilitate osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs as well as angiogenic differentiation of EPCs. Antibacterial experiments have demonstrated the excellent bactericidal effects of PCL/Ta/ZnO artificial periosteum against both S. aureus and E. coli. The subcutaneous infection and critical-sized skull bone defect models have validated its in vivo properties of antibacterial activity, promotion of osteogenesis, and angiogenic potential. The PCL/Ta/ZnO artificial periosteum demonstrates remarkable efficacy in infection control and favorable immunomodulation, thereby achieving rapid vascularized bone repair. In conclusion, the utilization of PCL/Ta/ZnO tissue-engineered periosteum has been demonstrated to exhibit antibacterial properties, pro-vascularization effects, and promotion of osteogenesis at the site of bone defects. This promising approach could potentially offer effective treatment for bone defects.

Abstract
Introduction Bone defects in diabetes mellitus (DM) remain a major challenge for clinical treatment. Fluctuating glucose levels in DM patients lead to excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which disrupt bone repair homeostasis. Bone filler materials have been widely used in the clinical treatment of DM-related bone defects, but overall they lack efficacy in improving the bone microenvironment and inducing osteogenesis. We utilized a gelatine methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel with excellent biological properties in combination with molybdenum (Mo)-based polyoxometalate nanoclusters (POM) to scavenge ROS and promote osteoblast proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through the slow-release effect of POM, providing a feasible strategy for the application of biologically useful bone fillers in bone regeneration. Methods We synthesized an injectable hydrogel by gelatine methacrylate (GelMA) and POM. The antioxidant capacity and biological properties of the synthesized GelMA/POM hydrogel were tested. Results In vitro, studies showed that hydrogels can inhibit excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce oxidative stress in cells through the beneficial effects of pH-sensitive POM. Osteogenic differentiation assays showed that GelMA/POM had good osteogenic properties with upregulated expression of osteogenic genes (BMP2, RUNX2, Osterix, ALP). Furthermore, RNA-sequencing revealed that activation of the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway in MC3T3-E1 cells with GelMA/POM may be a potential mechanism to promote osteogenesis. In an in vivo study, radiological and histological analyses showed enhanced bone regeneration in diabetic mice, after the application of GelMA/POM. Conclusion In summary, GelMA/POM hydrogels can enhance bone regeneration by directly scavenging ROS and activating the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway.

Abstract
Control over the implant surface functions is highly desirable to enhance tissue healing outcomes but has remained unexplored to adapt to the different service stages. In the present study, we develop a smart titanium surface by orchestrating thermoresponsive polymer and antimicrobial peptide to enable dynamic adaptation to the implantation stage, normal physiological stage and bacterial infection stage. The optimized surface inhibited bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation during surgical implantation, while promoted osteogenesis in the physiological stage. The further temperature increase driven by bacterial infection induced polymer chain collapse to expose antimicrobial peptides by rupturing bacterial membranes, as well as protect the adhered cells from the hostile environment of infection and abnormal temperature. The engineered surface could inhibit infection and promote tissue healing in rabbit subcutaneous and bone defect infection models. This strategy enables the possibility to create a versatile surface platform to balance bacteria/cell-biomaterial interactions at different service stages of implants that has not been achieved before.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects remains a significant challenge to be solved clinically. Immunomodulatory properties of orthopedic biomaterials have significance in regulating osteoimmune microenvironment for osteogenesis. A lactic acid-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) scaffold incorporates black phosphorus (BP) fabricated by 3D printing technology to investigate the effect of BP on osteoimmunomodulation and osteogenesis in site. The PLGA/BP scaffold exhibits suitable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical properties as an excellent microenvironment to support new bone formation. The studies' result also demonstrate that the PLGA/BP scaffolds are able to recruit and stimulate macrophages M2 polarization, inhibit inflammation, and promote human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) proliferation and differentiation, which in turn promotes bone regeneration in the distal femoral defect region of steroid-associated osteonecrosis (SAON) rat model. Moreover, it is screened and demonstrated that PLGA/BP scaffolds can promote osteogenic differentiation by transcriptomic analysis, and PLGA/BP scaffolds promote osteogenic differentiation and mineralization by activating PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in hBMSC cells. In this study, it is shown that the innovative PLGA/BP scaffolds are extremely effective in stimulating bone regeneration by regulating macrophage M2 polarization and a new strategy for the development of biomaterials that can be used to repair bone defects is offered.

Abstract
A practical strategy for engineering a trachea-like structure that could be used to repair or replace a damaged or injured trachea is an unmet need. Here, we fabricated bioengineered cartilage (BC) rings from three-dimensionally printed fibers of poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) and rabbit chondrocytes. The extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by the chondrocytes combined with the PCL fibers formed a "concrete-rebar structure," with ECM deposited along the PCL fibers, forming a grid similar to that of native cartilage. PCL fiber-hydrogel rings were then fabricated and alternately stacked with BC rings on silicone tubes. This trachea-like structure underwent vascularization after heterotopic transplantation into rabbits for 4 weeks. The vascularized bioengineered trachea-like structure was then orthotopically transplanted by end-to-end anastomosis to native rabbit trachea after a segment of trachea had been resected. The bioengineered trachea-like structure displayed mechanical properties similar to native rabbit trachea and transmural angiogenesis between the rings. The 8-week survival rate in transplanted rabbits was 83.3%, and the respiratory rate of these animals was similar to preoperative levels. This bioengineered trachea-like structure may have potential for treating tracheal stenosis and other tracheal injuries.

Abstract
Porous structures with sizes between the submicrometer and nanometer scales can be produced using efficient and adaptable electrospinning technology. However, to approximate desirable structures, the construction lacks mechanical sophistication and conformance and requires three-dimensional solitary or multifunctional structures. The diversity of high-performance polymers and blends has enabled the creation of several porous structural conformations for applications in advanced materials science, particularly in biomedicine. Two promising technologies can be combined, such as electrospinning with 3D printing or additive manufacturing, thereby providing a straightforward yet flexible technique for digitally controlled shape-morphing fabrication. The hierarchical integration of configurations is used to imprint complex shapes and patterns onto mesostructured, stimulus-responsive electrospun fabrics. This technique controls the internal stresses caused by the swelling/contraction mismatch in the in-plane and interlayer regions, which, in turn, controls the morphological characteristics of the electrospun membranes. Major innovations in 3D printing, along with additive manufacturing, have led to the production of materials and scaffold systems for tactile and wearable sensors, filtration structures, sensors for structural health monitoring, tissue engineering, biomedical scaffolds, and optical patterning. This review discusses the synergy between 3D printing and electrospinning as a constituent of specific microfabrication methods for quick structural prototypes that are expected to advance into next-generation constructs. Furthermore, individual techniques, their process parameters, and how the fabricated novel structures are applied holistically in the biomedical field have never been discussed in the literature. In summary, this review offers novel insights into the use of electrospinning and 3D printing as well as their integration for cutting-edge applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Bone fractures have always been a burden to patients due to their common occurrence and severe complications. Traditionally, operative treatments have been widely used in the clinic for implanting, despite the fact that they can only achieve bone fixation with limited stability and pose no effect on promoting tissue growth. In addition, the nondegradable implants usually need a secondary surgery for implant removal, otherwise they may block the regeneration of bones resulting in bone nonunion. To overcome the low degradability of implants and avoid multiple surgeries, tissue engineers have investigated various biodegradable materials for bone regeneration, whereas the significance of stability of long-term bone fixation tends to be neglected during this process. Combining the traditional orthopedic implantation surgeries and emerging tissue engineering, we believe that both bone fixation and bone regeneration are indispensable factors for a successful bone repair. Herein, we define such a novel idea as bone regenerative fixation (BRF), which should be the main future development trend of biodegradable materials.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most bone-related injuries to grassroots troops are caused by training or accidental injuries. To establish preventive measures to reduce all kinds of trauma and improve the combat effectiveness of grassroots troops, it is imperative to develop new strategies and scaffolds to promote bone regeneration. METHODS In this study, a porous piezoelectric hydrogel bone scaffold was fabricated by incorporating polydopamine (PDA)-modified ceramic hydroxyapatite (PDA-hydroxyapatite, PHA) and PDA-modified barium titanate (PDA-BaTiO3, PBT) nanoparticles into a chitosan/gelatin (Cs/Gel) matrix. The physical and chemical properties of the Cs/Gel/PHA scaffold with 0-10 wt% PBT were analyzed. Cell and animal experiments were performed to characterize the immunomodulatory, angiogenic, and osteogenic capabilities of the piezoelectric hydrogel scaffold in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The incorporation of BaTiO3 into the scaffold improved its mechanical properties and increased self-generated electricity. Due to their endogenous piezoelectric stimulation and bioactive constituents, the as-prepared Cs/Gel/PHA/PBT hydrogels exhibited cytocompatibility as well as immunomodulatory, angiogenic, and osteogenic capabilities; they not only effectively induced macrophage polarization to M2 phenotype but also promoted the migration, tube formation, and angiogenic differentiation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and facilitated the migration, osteo-differentiation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells. The in vivo evaluations showed that these piezoelectric hydrogels with versatile capabilities significantly facilitated new bone formation in a rat large-sized cranial injury model. The underlying molecular mechanism can be partly attributed to the immunomodulation of the Cs/Gel/PHA/PBT hydrogels as shown via transcriptome sequencing analysis, and the PI3K/Akt signaling axis plays an important role in regulating macrophage M2 polarization. CONCLUSION The piezoelectric Cs/Gel/PHA/PBT hydrogels developed here with favorable immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis functions may be used as a substitute in periosteum injuries, thereby offering the novel strategy of applying piezoelectric stimulation in bone tissue engineering for the enhancement of combat effectiveness in grassroots troops.

Abstract
3D printing is a state-of-the-art technology for the fabrication of biomaterials with myriad applications in translational medicine. After stimuli-responsive properties were introduced to 3D printing (known as 4D printing), intelligent biomaterials with shape configuration time-dependent character have been developed. Polysaccharides are biodegradable polymers sensitive to several physical, chemical, and biological stimuli, suited for 3D and 4D printing. On the other hand, engineering of mechanical strength and printability of polysaccharide-based scaffolds along with their aneural, avascular, and poor metabolic characteristics need to be optimized varying printing parameters. Multiple disciplines such as biomedicine, chemistry, materials, and computer sciences should be integrated to achieve multipurpose printable biomaterials. In this work, 3D and 4D printing technologies are briefly compared, summarizing the literature on biomaterials engineering though printing techniques, and highlighting different challenges associated with 3D/4D printing, as well as the role of polysaccharides in the technological shift from 3D to 4D printing for translational medicine.

Abstract
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid, based on SiO2-CaO-ZnO bioactive glass (BG) and polycaprolactone (PCL), associating the highly bioactive and versatile bioactive glass with clinically established PCL was examined. The BG-PCL hybrid is obtained by acid-catalyzed silica sol-gel process inside PCL solution either by direct or indirect printing. Apatite-formation tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) confirm the ion release along with the hybrid's bone-like apatite forming. Kinetics differ significantly between directly and indirectly printed scaffolds, the former requiring longer periods to degrade, while the latter demonstrates faster calcium phosphate (CaP) formation. Remarkably, Zn diffusion and accumulation are observed at the surface within the newly formed active CaP layer. Zn release is found to be dependent on printing method and immersion medium. Investigation of BG at the atomic scale reveals the ambivalent role of Zn, capable of acting both as a network modifier and as a network former linking the BG silicate network. In addition, hMSCs viability assay proves no cytotoxicity of the Zn hybrid. LIVE/DEAD staining demonstrated excellent cell viability and proliferation for over seven weeks. Overall, this hybrid material either non-doped or doped with a metal trace element is a promising candidate to be translated to clinical applications for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Inefficient use and loss of exogenously implanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are major concerns in MSCs-based bone tissue engineering. It is a promising approach to overcome the above issues by recruiting and regulation of endogenous MSCs. However, there are few substances that can recruit MSCs effectively and specifically to the site of bone injury. In this study, we identified a phage clone (termed P11) with specific affinity for MSCs through phage display biopanning, and further investigated the effects of P11 on the cytological behavior of MSCs and macrophages. The results showed that P11 could bind MSCs specifically and promote the proliferation and migration of MSCs. Meanwhile, P11 could polarize macrophages to the M1 phenotype and significantly changed their morphology, which further enhanced the chemotaxis of MSCs. Additionally, RNA-seq results revealed that P11 could promote the secretion of osteogenesis-related markers in MSCs through the TPL2-MEK-ERK signaling pathway. Altogether, P11 has great potential to be used as growth factor alternatives in bone tissue engineering, with the advantages of cheaper and stable activity. Our study also advances the understanding of the effects of phages on macrophages and MSCs, and provides a new idea for the development in the field of phage-based tissue engineering.

Abstract
To enhance the bioactivity of cellulosic derivatives has become an important strategy to promote their value for clinical applications. Herein, protocatechualdehyde (PCA), a polyphenolic molecule, was used to modify a cellulose acetate (CA) membrane by combining with metal ions to confer an immunomodulatory activity. The PCA-modified CA membrane has shown a significant radical scavenging activity, thereby suppressed the inflammatory response and created a favorable immune microenvironment for osteogenesis and mineralization. Moreover, addition of metal ions could further stimulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and accelerate bone regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. This study may provide a strategy to promote the immunomodulatory activity of cellulose-based biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The process of bone regeneration involves the interaction of the skeletal, blood, and immune systems. Bone provides a solid barrier for the origin and development of immune cells in the bone marrow. At the same time, immune cells secrete related factors to feedback on the remodeling of the skeletal system. Pathological or traumatic injury of bone tissue involves changes in blood supply, cell behavior, and cytokine expression. Immune cells and their factors play an essential role in repairing foreign bodies in bone injury or implantation of biomaterials, the clearance of dead cells, and the regeneration of bone tissue. This article reviews the bone regeneration application of the bone tissue repair microenvironment in bone cells and immune cells in the bone marrow and the interaction of materials and immune cells.

Abstract
Hierarchical vasculature reconstruction is fundamental for tissue regeneration. The regeneration of functional vascular network requires a proper directional guidance, especially in case of large-size defects. To provide the "running track" for vasculature, a leaf-vein mimetic membrane using soft and elastic poly(lactide-co-propylene glycol-co-lactide) dimethacrylate is developed. Engraved with an interconnected and perfusable leaf-vein micropattern, the membrane can guide human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to form vasculature in vitro. In particular, the "running track" upregulates the angiogenesis-related gene expression and promotes the HUVECs to differentiate into tip cells and stalk cells via tuning vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 signaling transduction. As a proof of concept, its revascularization capability using a rat calvarial defect model in vivo is evaluated. The in vivo results demonstrate that the leaf-vein engraved membrane accelerates the formation and maturation of vasculature, leading to a hierarchical blood vessel network. With the superior pro-vasculature property, it is believed that the leaf-vein engraved membrane is not only an ideal candidate for the reconstruction of calvarial vasculature but also a promising solution for more complicated vasculature reconstruction, such as muscle, skin, and heart.

Abstract
The 3D printing technique is suitable for patient-specific implant preparation for bone repair after bone tumor resection. However, improving the survival rate due to tumor recurrence remains a challenge for implants. The macrophage polarization induction to M2-type tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) by the tumor microenvironment is a key factor of immunosuppression and tumor recurrence. In this study, a regenerative scaffold regulating the macrophage immune microenvironment and promoting bone regeneration in a dual-stage process for the postoperative treatment of bone tumors was constructed by binding a colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibitor GW2580 onto in situ cosslinked hydroxybutylchitosan (HBC)/oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS) hydrogel layer covering a 3D printed calcium phosphate scaffold based on electrostatic interaction. The hydrogel layer on scaffold surface not only supplied abundant sulfonic acid groups for stable loading of the inhibitor, but also acted as the cover mask protecting the bone repair part from exposure to unhealthy growth factors in the microenvironment at the early treatment stage. With local prolonged release of inhibitor being realized via the functional material design, CSF-1R, the main pathway that induces polarization of TAMs, can be efficiently blocked, thus regulating the immunosuppressive microenvironment and inhibiting tumor development at a low therapeutic dose. At the later stage of treatment, calcium phosphate component of the scaffold can facilitate the repair of bone defects caused by tumor excision. In conclusion, the difunctional 3D printed bone repair scaffold regulating immune microenvironment in stages proposed a novel approach for bone tumor postoperative treatment. In situ crosslinked hydrogel mask layer for stable combining of a CSF-1R inhibitor on 3D printed bone repair scaffolds. Gradually released inhibitor GW2580 significantly blocked CSF-1R, AKT and NF-κB signaling pathways. Difunctional customized scaffolds regulating immune microenvironment in stages for bone tumor postoperative treatment.

Abstract
Recently, human hair keratin has been widely studied and applied in clinical fields due to its good histocompatibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. However, the regenerated keratin from human hair cannot be electrospun alone because of its low molecular weight. Herein, gamma polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) was first selected to fabricate smooth and uniform γ-PGA/keratin composite scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability by electrospinning technology and a chemical cross-linking method in this study. The effect of electrospinning parameters on the structure and morphology, the mechanism of chemical cross-linking, biocompatibility in vitro cell culture experiments, and biodegradability in phosphate-buffered saline buffer solution and trypsin solution of the γ-PGA/keratin electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds (ENS) was studied. The results show that the cross-linked γ-PGA/keratin ENSs had excellent water stability and biodegradability. The γ-PGA/keratin ENSs showed better biocompatibility in promoting cell adhesion and cell growth compared with the γ-PGA ENSs. It is expected that γ-PGA/keratin ENSs will be easily and significantly used in tissue engineering to repair or regenerate materials.

Abstract
An appropriate immune microenvironment, governed by macrophages, is essential for rapid tissue regeneration after biomaterial implantation. The macrophage phenotypes, M1 (inflammatory) and M2 (anti-inflammatory/healing), exert opposing effects on the repair of various tissues. In this study, a new strategy to promote tissue repair and tissue-to-biomaterial integration by M1-to-M2 macrophage transition using artificial apoptotic cell mimetics (phosphatidylserine liposomes; PSLs) was developed using bone as a model tissue. Titanium was also selected as a model substrate material because it is widely used for dental and orthopedic implants. Titanium implants were functionalized with multilayers via layer-by-layer assembly of cationic protamine and negatively charged PSLs that were chemically stabilized to prevent disruption of lipid bilayers. Samples carrying PSL multilayers could drive M1-type macrophages into M2-biased phenotypes, resulting in a dramatic change in macrophage secretion for tissue regeneration. In a rat femur implantation model, the PSL-multilayer-coated implant displayed augmented de novo bone formation and bone-to-implant integration, associated with an increased M1-to-M2-like phenotypic transition. This triggered the proper generation and activation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts relative to their uncoated counterparts. This study demonstrates the benefit of local M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization induced by PSL-multilayers constructed on implants for potent bone regeneration and bone-to-implant integration. The results of this study may help in the design of new immunomodulatory biomaterials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Effective strategies for tissue regeneration are essential in the clinical practice. The macrophage phenotypes, M1 (inflammatory) and M2 (anti-inflammatory/healing), exert opposing effects on the repair of various tissues. Artificially produced phosphatidylserine-containing liposomes (PSLs) can induce M2 macrophage polarization by mimicking the inverted plasma membranes of apoptotic cells. This study demonstrates the advantages of local M1-to-M2 macrophage polarization induced by PSL-multilayers constructed on implants for effective bone regeneration and osseointegration (bone-to-implant integration). Mechanistically, M2 macrophages promote osteogenesis but inhibit osteoclastogenesis, and M1 macrophages vice versa. We believe that our study makes a significant contribution to the design of new immunomodulatory biomaterials for regenerative medicine because it is the first to validate the benefit of PSLs for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporotic bone defects result from an imbalance in bone homeostasis, excessive osteoclast activity, and the weakening of osteogenic mineralization, resulting in impaired bone regeneration. Herein, inspired by the hierarchical structures of mollusk nacre, nacre exhibits outstanding high-strength mechanical properties, which are in part due to its delicate layered structure. SrFe12O19 nanoparticles and nano-layered double hydroxide (LDH) were incorporated into a bioactive chitosan (CS) matrix to form multifunctional layered nano-SrFe12O19-LDH/CS scaffolds. The compressive stress value of the internal ordered layer structure matches the trabecular bone (0.18 MPa). The as-released Mg2+ ions from the nano-LDH can inhibit bone resorption in osteoclasts by inhibiting the NFκB signaling pathway. At the same time, the as-released Sr2+ ions promote the high expression of osteoblast collagen 1 proteins and accelerate bone mineralization by activating the BMP-2/SMAD signaling pathway. In vivo, the Mg2+ ions released from the SrFe12O19-LDH/CS scaffolds inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory factors (IL-1β and TNF-α), while the as-released Sr2+ ions promoted osteoblastic proliferation and the mineralization of osteoblasts inside the layered SrFe12O19-LDH/CS scaffolds. Immunofluorescence for OPG, RANKL, and CD31, showed that stable vasculature could be formed inside the layered SrFe12O19-LDH/CS scaffolds. Hence, this study on multifunctional SrFe12O19-LDH/CS scaffolds clarifies the regulatory mechanism of osteoporotic bone regeneration and is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the research, development, and clinical application of this scaffold on osteoporotic bone defects. 1, SrFe12O19 nanoparticles and LDH were incorporated into a bioactive CS matrix. 2, SrFe12O19-LDH/CS scaffolds were prepared as a layered scaffold to increase mechanical strength. 3, The slow release of Mg2+ and Sr2+ could maintain bone homeostasis. 4, The scaffolds also promote the formation of new blood vessels.

Abstract
Current bioceramic scaffolds for critical-size bone defects are still facing various challenges such as the poor capability of self-resorption, vascularization and osteogenesis. Herein, a composite scaffold (HOD) is fabricated by integrating bioactive coatings of konjac glucomannan (KGM) and deferoxamine (DFO) into porous hydroxyapatite scaffold (HA), where KGM coating induces the self-resorption of HOD after implanting and DFO promoted the vascularization at the defected bone. Porous HA scaffolds with 200-400 μm of pore sizes were prepared and these bioactive coatings were successfully deposited on the scaffold, which was confirmed by SEM. MC3T3-E1 cells could be tightly attached to the pore wall of HOD and the obvious osteogenic differentiation was clearly displayed after 14 days of co-culture. Besides, HOD displayed the potential of promoting the vascularization of HUVECs. Importantly, the accelerated degradation of HOD was observed in a macrophage-associated acidic medium, which led to the self-resorption of HOD in vivo. Micro-CT images showed that HOD was gradually replaced by newly formed bone, achieving a balance between the new bone formation and the scaffold degradation. The rapid bone repairing of the femoral defects in rats was displayed for HOD in comparison to the HA scaffold. Moreover, the therapeutic mechanism of HOD was highly associated with promoted osteogenesis and vascularization. Collectively, the porous ceramic scaffold orchestrated with bioactive coatings may be a promising strategy for repairing of the large bone defect.

Abstract
The integration of 3D bioprinting and stem cells is of great promise in facilitating the reconstruction of cranial defects. However, the effectiveness of the scaffolds has been hampered by the limited cell behavior and functions. Herein, a therapeutic cell-laden hydrogel for bone regeneration is therefore developed through the design of a void-forming hydrogel. This hydrogel is prepared by digital light processing (DLP)-based bioprinting of the bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) mixed with gelatin methacrylate (GelMA)/dextran emulsion. The 3D-bioprinted hydrogel can not only promote the proliferation, migration, and spreading of the encapsulated BMSCs, but also stimulate the YAP signal pathway, thus leading to the enhanced osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, the in vivo therapeutic assessments reveal that the void-forming hydrogel shows great potential for BMSCs delivery and can significantly promote bone regeneration. These findings suggest that the unique 3D-bioprinted void-forming hydrogels are promising candidates for applications in bone regeneration.
