Abstract
Composite coatings based on chitosan and zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) were successfully produced on Ti13Zr13Nb substrates by cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The unfavorable phenomenon of water electrolysis-induced nonuniformity was reduced by applying a low voltage (20 V) and a short deposition time (1 min). Surface analysis (roughness and hydrophilicity) reveals the potential of these coatings for enhancing cell attachment and bone-implant integration. However, there is a concern about adhesion and strength; therefore, incorporating ZnNPs shows promise for enhancing mechanical properties, suggesting opportunities for further optimization of the process. The aim of this work was to investigate whether Zn2+ released from coating yields overt cellular impairment. hFOB1.19 osteoblastic cells were used as a model in this study. A subtoxic, 0.125 mmol/L, Zn concentration did not cause significant negative changes in cultured osteoblastic cells, as there was no significant change in their viability and their mitochondrial metabolism. Moreover, the alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase activities were aggravated. However, a high, over 0.175 mmol/L, Zn2+ concentration caused total cell death. This was caused by the inhibition of mitochondrial enzymes' activities. Our data indicate that composite coatings releasing Zn2+ may be used as the differentiating factor toward osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
The borosilicate 0106-B1-bioactive glass (BG) composition (in wt%: 37.5 SiO2, 22.6 CaO, 5.9 Na2O, 4.0P2O5, 12.0 K2O, 5.5 MgO, 12.5 B2O3) has shown favorable processing characteristics and bone regeneration ability. This study investigated the addition of zinc (Zn) to 0106-B1-BG as an approach to improve this BG's biological properties. Different proportions of ZnO were substituted for CaO in 0106-B1-BG, resulting in three new BG-compositions: 1-Zn-BG, 2-Zn-BG, 3-Zn-BG (in wt%: 37.5 SiO2, 21.6/20.1/17.6 CaO, 4.0 P2O5, 5.9 Na2O, 12.0 K2O, 5.5 MgO, 12.5 B2O3 and 1.0/2.5/5.0 ZnO). Effects of the BG compositions on cytocompatibility, osteogenic differentiation, extracellular matrix deposition, and angiogenic response of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) were evaluated in vitro. Angiogenic effects were assessed using a tube formation assay containing human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The in vivo osteogenic and angiogenic potentials of 3-Zn-BG were investigated in comparison to the Zn-free 0106-B1-BG in a rodent critical-size femoral defect model. The osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs improved in the presence of Zn. 3-Zn-BG showed enhanced angiogenic potential, as confirmed by the tube formation assay. While Zn-doped BGs showed clearly superior biological properties in vitro, 3-Zn-BG and 0106-B1-BG equally promoted the formation of new bone in vivo; however, 3-Zn-BG reduced osteoclastic cells and vascular structures in vivo. The acquired data suggests that the differences regarding the in vivo and in vitro results may be due to modulation of inflammatory responses by Zn, as described in the literature. The inflammatory effect should be investigated further to promote clinical applications of Zn-doped BGs.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a versatile and straightforward technique to produce nanofibrous mats with different morphologies. In addition, by optimizing the solution, processing, and environmental parameters, three-dimensional (3D) nanofibrous scaffolds can also be created using this method. In this work, the preparation and characterization of bioactive glass (BG) scaffolds based on the SiO2-CaO sol-gel system, a biomaterial with a highly reactive surface, is reported. The electrospinning technique was combined with sol-gel methods to obtain nanofibrous 3D cotton wool-like scaffolds. The addition of zinc and copper ions to the silica-calcia system was examined, and the influence of these ions on the material properties and characteristics was investigated by various characterization techniques, from morphological and chemical properties to antibacterial and wound closure capability, cell viability and ion release. Our findings show that the cotton wool-like ion-doped nanofibers are promising for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Bioactive glass has been employed in several medical applications since its inception in 1969. The compositions of these materials have been investigated extensively with emphasis on glass network formers, therapeutic transition metals, and glass network modifiers. Through these experiments, several commercial and experimental compositions have been developed with varying chemical durability, induced physiological responses, and hydroxyapatite forming abilities. In many of these studies, the concentrations of each alkali and alkaline earth element have been altered to monitor changes in structure and biological response. This review aims to discuss the impact of each alkali and alkaline earth element on the structure, processing, and biological effects of bioactive glass. We explore critical questions regarding these elements from both a glass science and biological perspective. Should elements with little biological impact be included? Are alkali free bioactive glasses more promising for greater biological responses? Does this mixed alkali effect show increased degradation rates and should it be employed for optimized dissolution? Each of these questions along with others are evaluated comprehensively and discussed in the final section where guidance for compositional design is provided.

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

The Addition of Zinc to the ICIE16-Bioactive Glass Composition Enhances Osteogenic Differentiation and Matrix Formation of Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells. Biomimetics (Basel) 2024; 9:53.

Abstract
An ICIE16-bioactive glass (BG) composition (in mol%: 49.5 SiO2, 6.6 Na2O, 36.3 CaO, 1.1 P2O5, and 6.6 K2O) has demonstrated excellent in vitro cytocompatibility when cultured with human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). However, its impact on the development of an osseous extracellular matrix (ECM) is limited. Since zinc (Zn) is known to enhance ECM formation and maturation, two ICIE16-BG-based Zn-supplemented BG compositions, namely 1.5 Zn-BG and 3Zn-BG (in mol%: 49.5 SiO2, 6.6 Na2O, 34.8/33.3 CaO, 1.1 P2O5, 6.6 K2O, and 1.5/3.0 ZnO) were developed, and their influence on BMSC viability, osteogenic differentiation, and ECM formation was assessed. Compared to ICIE16-BG, the Zn-doped BGs showed improved cytocompatibility and significantly enhanced osteogenic differentiation. The expression level of the osteopontin gene was significantly higher in the presence of Zn-doped BGs. A larger increase in collagen production was observed when the BMSCs were exposed to the Zn-doped BGs compared to that of the ICIE16-BG. The calcification of the ECM was increased by all the BG compositions; however, calcification was significantly enhanced by the Zn-doped BGs in the early stages of cultivation. Zn constitutes an attractive addition to ICIE16-BG, since it improves its ability to build and calcify an ECM. Future studies should assess whether these positive properties remain in an in vivo environment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential of modified bioactive glasses containing lithium and zinc as pulp capping materials by investigating the odontogenic differentiation and mineralization response in the tooth culture model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lithium- and zinc-containing bioactive glasses (45S5.1Li, 45S5.5Li, 45S5.1Zn, 45S5.5Zn, 45S5.1Zn sol-gel, and 45S5.5Zn sol-gel), fibrinogen-thrombin, and biodentine were prepared to assess Axin2 gene expression at 0, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 12 hours, and 1 day and DSPP gene expression at 0, 3, 7, and 14 days in stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs) using qRT-PCR. The experimental bioactive glasses incorporated with fibrinogen-thrombin and biodentine were placed on the pulpal tissue in the tooth culture model. Histology and immunohistochemistry were analyzed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks. RESULTS Axin2 gene expression for all experimental groups was significantly higher than the control at 12 hours. The DSPP gene expression for all experimental groups was significantly higher than the control at 14 days. The presence of mineralization foci was significantly higher at 4 weeks for the modified bioactive glasses 45S5.5Zn, 45S5.1Zn sol-gel, and 45S5.5Zn sol-gel as well as Biodentine compared with the fibrinogen-thrombin control. CONCLUSION Lithium- and zinc-containing bioactive glasses increased Axin2 and DSPP gene expression in SHEDs and can potentially enhance pulp mineralization and regeneration. Zinc-containing bioactive glasses are a promising candidate to be used as pulp capping materials.

Abstract
The application of powder or granule formed bioactive glasses in the defect area with the help of a liquid carrier to fill the defects is a subject of interest and is still open to development. In this study, it was aimed to prepare biocomposites of bioactive glasses incorporating different co-dopants with a carrier biopolymer and to create a fluidic material (Sr and Zn co-doped 45S5 bioactive glasses‑sodium hyaluronate). All biocomposite samples were pseudoplastic fluid type, which may be suitable for defect filling and had excellent bioactivity behaviors confirmed by FTIR, SEM-EDS and XRD. Biocomposites with Sr and Zn co-doped bioactive glass had higher bioactivity considering the crystallinity of hydroxyapatite formations compared to biocomposite with undoped bioactive glasses. Biocomposites with high bioactive glass content had hydroxyapatite formations with higher crystallinity compared to biocomposites with low bioactive glass. Furthermore, all biocomposite samples showed non-cytotoxic effect on the L929 cells up to a certain concentration. However, biocomposites with undoped bioactive glass showed cytotoxic effects at lower concentrations compared to biocomposites with co-doped bioactive glass. Thus, biocomposite putties utilizing Sr and Zn co-doped bioactive glasses may be advantageous for orthopedic applications due to their specified rheological, bioactivity, and biocompatibility properties.

Abstract
Hardystonite-based (HT) bioceramic foams were easily obtained via thermal treatment of silicone resins and reactive oxide fillers in air. By using a commercial silicone, incorporating strontium oxide and magnesium oxide precursors (as well as CaO and ZnO), and treating it at 1100 °C, a complex solid solution (Ca1.4Sr0.6Zn0.85Mg0.15Si2O7) that has superior biocompatibility and bioactivity properties compared to pure hardystonite (Ca2ZnSi2O7) can be obtained. Proteolytic-resistant adhesive peptide mapped on vitronectin (D2HVP), was selectively grafted to Sr/Mg-doped HT foams using two different strategies. Unfortunately, the first method (via protected peptide) was unsuitable for acid-sensitive materials such as Sr/Mg-doped HT, resulting in the release of cytotoxic levels of Zinc over time, with consequent negative cellular response. To overcome this unexpected result, a novel functionalization strategy requiring aqueous solution and mild conditions was designed. Sr/Mg-doped HT functionalized with this second strategy (via aldehyde peptide) showed a dramatic increase in human osteoblast proliferation at 6 days compared to only silanized or non-functionalized samples. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the functionalization treatment does not induce any cytotoxicity. Functionalized foams enhanced mRNA-specific transcript levels coding IBSP, VTN, RUNX2, and SPP1 at 2 days post-seeding. In conclusion, the second functionalization strategy proved to be appropriate for this specific biomaterial and was effective at enhancing the material's bioactivity.

Demir-Oğuz Ö, Boccaccini AR, Loca D. Injectable bone cements: What benefits the combination of calcium phosphates and bioactive glasses could bring? Bioact Mater 2023; 19:217-236. [PMID: 35510175 PMCID: PMC9048153 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Out of the wide range of calcium phosphate (CaP) biomaterials, calcium phosphate bone cements (CPCs) have attracted increased attention since their discovery in the 1980s due to their valuable properties such as bioactivity, osteoconductivity, injectability, hardening ability through a low-temperature setting reaction and moldability. Thereafter numerous researches have been performed to enhance the properties of CPCs. Nonetheless, low mechanical performance of CPCs limits their clinical application in load bearing regions of bone. Also, the in vivo resorption and replacement of CPC with new bone tissue is still controversial, thus further improvements of high clinical importance are required. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are biocompatible and able to bond to bone, stimulating new bone growth while dissolving over time. In the last decades extensive research has been performed analyzing the role of BGs in combination with different CaPs. Thus, the focal point of this review paper is to summarize the available research data on how injectable CPC properties could be improved or affected by the addition of BG as a secondary powder phase. It was found that despite the variances of setting time and compressive strength results, desirable injectable properties of bone cements can be achieved by the inclusion of BGs into CPCs. The published data also revealed that the degradation rate of CPCs is significantly improved by BG addition. Moreover, the presence of BG in CPCs improves the in vitro osteogenic differentiation and cell response as well as the tissue-material interaction in vivo. Properties of injectable calcium phosphate bone cements and bioactive glasses are discussed. Benefits that BG addition to CPC could bring are highlighted. Desirable injectable properties of bone cements can be achieved by the inclusion of BGs into CPCs. The presence of BG in CPC advances in vitro and in vivo response of the composites. Future research direction of BG containing injectable CPC composites are provided.

Abstract
Infections are a major concern in orthopedics. Antibacterial agents such as silver ions are of great interest as broad-spectrum biocides and have been incorporated into bioactive glass-ceramic particles to control the release of ions within a therapeutic concentration and provide tissue regenerative properties. In this work, the antibacterial capabilities of silver-doped bioactive glass (Ag-BG) microparticles were explored to reveal the unedited mechanisms of inhibition against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The antibacterial properties were not limited to the delivery of silver ions but rather a combination of antibacterial degradation by-products. For example, nano-sized debris punctured holes in bacteria membranes, osmotic effects, and reactive oxygen species causing oxidative stress and almost 40% of the inhibition. Upon successive Ag-BG treatments, MRSA underwent phenotypic and genomic mutations which were not only insufficient to develop resistance but instead, the clones became more sensitive as the treatment was re-delivered. Additionally, the unprecedented restorative functionality of Ag-BG allowed the effective use of antibiotics that MRSA resists. The synergy mechanism was mainly identified for combinations targeting cell-wall activity and their action was proven in biofilm-like and virulent conditions. Unraveling these mechanisms may offer new insights into how to tailor healthcare materials to prevent or debilitate infections and join the fight against antibiotic resistance in clinical cases.

Abstract
A triple-layer matrix Collagen/Silk fibroin/Bioactive glass composited Nanofibrous was fabricated by linking electrospinning and freeze-drying systems, this typical three layered composite with a nanofibrous fragment as the key (top) layer, middle portion as inferior, and a spongy porous fragment as the third (bottom) deposit to develop the synergistic effect of composite materials resultant to physical and biological performances. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy were used to assess the final material's physicochemical properties (SEM). The triple-layer matrix had a nanofibrous and porous structure, which has qualities including high porosity, swelling, and stability, which are important in soft-tissue engineering. NIH 3 T3 fibroblast and humanoid keratinocyte (HaCaT) cell lines were also used to investigate the matrix's in vitro biological and fluorescent capabilities, which showed excellent cell adherence and proliferation across the composite layers. The synergistic arrangement of nanofibrous substantial deposition onto collagenous with silk fibroin candidates has therefore proven effective in the construction of a tri-layer matrix for skin-tissue-engineering applications.

Abstract
An elevated bone microenvironmental reactive oxygen species (ROS) level is a hallmark of osteoporosis that often leads to the dysfunction of bone-related mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which would induce MSC senescence and severely undermine their osteoblastic potential. Herein, we report the in situ construction of bone microenvironment-responsive biofunctional metal-organic framework (bio-MOF) coating on the titanium surface through the coordination between p-xylylenebisphosphonate (PXBP) and Ce/Sr ions by a hydrothermal method. Taking advantage of the anchored Ce and Sr ions, the AHT-Ce/SrMOF implants demonstrate on-demand superoxide dismutase and catalase-like catalytic activities to decompose ROS in MSCs and restore their mitochondrial functions. In vitro analysis showed that the AHT-Ce/SrMOF implants substantially activated the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway in MSCs and reduced the ROS levels. Meanwhile, MSCs grown on AHT-Ce/SrMOF implants displayed significantly higher expressions of the mitochondrial fission marker (DRP1), mitochondrial fusion marker (MFN2 and OPA1), and mitophagy marker (PINK1 and LC3) than those of the AHT-CeMOF and AHT-SrMOF groups, which indicated that the bio-MOF could amend mitochondrial function in MSCs to reverse senescence. In vivo evaluations showed that the bio-MOF-coated Ti implants could restore MSC function in the implant site and promote new bone formation, leading to improved osteointegration in osteoporotic rat. This study may improve implant-mediated fracture healing in the clinics.

Abstract
AbstractBioactive glasses are a group of bioceramic materials that have extensive clinical applications. Their properties such as high biocompatibility, antimicrobial features, and bioactivity in the internal environment of the body have made them useful biomaterials in various fields of medicine and dentistry. There is a great variation in the main composition of these glasses and some of them whose medical usage has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are called Bioglass. Bioactive glasses have appropriate biocompatibility with the body and they are similar to bone hydroxyapatite in terms of calcium and phosphate contents. Bioactive glasses are applied in different branches of dentistry like periodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, esthetic and restorative dentistry. Also, some dental and oral care products have bioactive glasses in their compositions. Bioactive glasses have been used as dental implants in the human body in order to repair and replace damaged bones. Other applications of bioactive glasses in dentistry include their usage in periodontal disease, root canal treatments, maxillofacial surgeries, dental restorations, air abrasions, dental adhesives, enamel remineralization, and dentin hypersensitivity. Since the use of bioactive glasses in dentistry is widespread, there is a need to find methods and extensive resources to supply the required bioactive glasses. Various techniques have been identified for the production of bioactive glasses, and marine sponges have recently been considered as a rich source of it. Marine sponges are widely available and many species have been identified around the world, including the Persian Gulf. Marine sponges, as the simplest group of animals, produce different bioactive compounds that are used in a wide range of medical sciences. Numerous studies have shown the anti-tumor, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and antibiotic effects of these compounds. Furthermore, some species of marine sponges due to the mineral contents of their structural skeletons, which are made of biosilica, have been used for extracting bioactive glasses.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the top life-threatening dangers to the human survival, accounting for over 10 million deaths per year. Bioactive glasses have developed dramatically since their discovery 50 years ago, with applications that include therapeutics as well as diagnostics. A new system within the bioactive glass family, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), has evolved into a multifunctional platform, thanks to MBGs easy-to-functionalize nature and tailorable textural properties-surface area, pore size, and pore volume. Although MBGs have yet to meet their potential in tumor treatment and imaging in practice, recently research has shed light on the distinguished MBGs capabilities as promising theranostic systems for cancer imaging and therapy. This review presents research progress in the field of MBG applications in cancer diagnosis and therapy, including synthesis of MBGs, mechanistic overview of MBGs application in tumor diagnosis and drug monitoring, applications of MBGs in cancer therapy ( particularly, targeted delivery and stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms), and immunological profile of MBG-based nanodevices in reference to the development of novel cancer therapeutics.

Abstract
Gelatin-based hydrogels have a broad range of biomedical fields due to their biocompatibility, convenience for chemical modifications, and degradability. However, gelatin-based hydrogels present poor antibacterial ability that hinders their applications in treating infected wound healing. Herein, a series of multifunctional hydrogels (Gel@Zn) were fabricated through free-radical polymerization interaction based on gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and dopamine methacrylate (DMA), and then immersed them into zinc nitrate solutions based on the metal coordination and ionic bonding interaction. These designed hydrogels wound dressings show strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) by increasing intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level and changing bacterial membrane permeability. Meanwhile, the hydrogels exhibit good cytocompatibility, enhance the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of NIH-3T3 cells. Furthermore, Gel@Zn-0.08 (0.08 M Zn2+ immersed with Gel sample) presents a good balance between antibacterial effect, cell viability, and hemolytic property. Compared with 3 M commercial dressings, Gel@Zn-0.04, and Gel@Zn-0.16, the Gel@Zn-0.08 could significantly improve the healing process of S. aureus-infected full-thickness wounds via restrained the inflammatory responses, enhanced epidermis and granulation tissue information, and stimulated angiogenesis. Our study indicates that the Zn-incorporated hydrogels are promising bioactive materials as wound dressings for infected full-thickness wound healing and skin regeneration.

Abstract
Glass polyalkenoate cements (GPCs) are under investigation as potential bone adhesives, as they may provide an alternative to polymethylmethacrylate-based cements. GPCs containing strontium (Sr) and zinc (Zn) in place of aluminium (Al) are of particular interest because these ions are known stimulators of osteoprogenitor differentiation. GPCs have been manufactured from a novel bioactive glass (SiO2 :0.48, ZnO:0.36, CaO:0.12, SrO:0.04) in the past, but, while such materials have been assessed for their influence on viability, their influence on osteogenic function has not been investigated until now. For this study, two GPCs were formulated from the same glass precursor evaluated in previous studies. These GPCs were named GPC A and GPC B, and they differed in glass particle size, polyacrylic acid molecular weight, and their powder: liquid ratios. The effect of these two GPCs on osteogenic differentiation of primary rat osteoblasts were evaluated using three culture systems: culture with dissolution extracts, indirect contact with transwell-inserts and direct contact. Additionally, the degradation characteristics of GPCs were assessed, including their interfacial pH and surrounding pH. The experimental outcomes revealed that collagen deposition, alkaline phosphatase expression, and mineralization were largely dependent on GPC composition as well as the mode of interaction with cells. These markers were found to be significantly elevated in response to GPC A's dissolution products. However, osteogenic differentiation was inhibited when osteoblasts were cultured indirectly and directly with GPCs, with, overall, GPC B significantly outperforming GPC A. These results suggest that GPC degradation products effect osteogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner.

Abstract
Reconstruction of organ-specific architecture is necessary to recover the original organ function. The anisotropic structure of bone tissue is strongly related to the collagen fibril alignment and bone apatite crystal direction. Bone regeneration indicates following two main process; first, restoration of bone mineral density (BMD; bone quantity), and second, restoring bone apatite c-axis orientation (bone quality). In addition to BMD, bone quality is the most important factor among bone mechanical properties. Recovery of the original bone function requires development of novel scaffolds with simultaneous reconstruction of bone quality and quantity. Herein, novel orthophosphosilicate glass (PSG)/poly(lactic acid) composite anisotropic scaffolds were developed to control cell alignment and enhance bone formation, which are important for the simultaneous reconstruction of bone quality and quantity. The strategy to control cell alignment and bone formation involved designing anisotropic scaffolds in combination with the release of therapeutic ions by PSGs. The morphology of fibrous scaffolds containing PSGs was quantitatively designed using electrospinning. This successfully modulated cell alignment and subsequent bone apatite c-axis orientation along the fiber-oriented direction. The released silicate and Mg2+ ions from PSGs in scaffolds improved cell adhesion, proliferation, and calcification. To best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating that the anisotropic scaffolds containing bioactive glasses regenerate bone tissues with simultaneous reconstruction of bone quality and quantity via stimulating osteoblasts by inorganic ions and designing morphology of scaffolds.

Westhauser F, Decker S, Nawaz Q, Rehder F, Wilkesmann S, Moghaddam A, Kunisch E, Boccaccini AR. Impact of Zinc- or Copper-Doped Mesoporous Bioactive Glass Nanoparticles on the Osteogenic Differentiation and Matrix Formation of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14081864. [PMID: 33918612 PMCID: PMC8069963 DOI: 10.3390/ma14081864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have gained relevance in bone tissue engineering, especially since they can be used as vectors for therapeutically active ions like zinc (Zn) or copper (Cu). In this study, the osteogenic properties of the ionic dissolution products (IDPs) of undoped MBGNs (composition in mol%: 70 SiO2, 30 CaO) and MBGNs doped with 5 mol% of either Zn (5Zn-MBGNs) or Cu (5Cu-MBGNs; compositions in mol%: 70 SiO2, 25 CaO, 5 ZnO/CuO) on human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were evaluated. Extracellular matrix (ECM) formation and calcification were assessed, as well as the IDPs’ influence on viability, cellular osteogenic differentiation and the expression of genes encoding for relevant members of the ECM. The IDPs of undoped MBGNs and 5Zn-MBGNs had a comparable influence on cell viability, while it was enhanced by IDPs of 5Cu-MBGNs compared to the other MBGNs. IDPs of 5Cu-MBGNs had slightly positive effects on ECM formation and calcification. 5Zn-MBGNs provided the most favorable pro-osteogenic properties since they increased not only cellular osteogenic differentiation and ECM-related gene expression but also ECM formation and calcification significantly. Future studies should analyze other relevant properties of MBGNs, such as their impact on angiogenesis.

Abstract
Introduction To repair bone defects, a variety of bone substitution materials have been used, such as ceramics, metals, natural and synthetic polymers, and combinations thereof. In recent decades, a wide range of synthetic polymers have been used for bone regeneration. These polymers have the advantages of biocompatibility, biodegradability, good mechanical properties, low toxicity, and ease of processing. However, when used alone, they are unable to achieve ideal bone formation. Incorporating zinc (Zn) into synthetic polymers has been considered, as previous studies have shown that Zn2+ promotes stem cell osteogenesis and mineral deposition. The purpose of this systematic review was to provide an overview of the application and effectiveness of Zn in synthetic polymers for bone regeneration, whether used alone or in combination with other biomaterials. This study was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Materials and methods A search of the PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases for articles published up to June 2020 revealed 153 relevant studies. After screening the titles, abstracts, and full texts, 13 articles were included in the review; 9 of these were in vitro, 3 were in vivo, and 1 included both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results At low concentrations, Zn2+ promoted cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, while high-dose Zn2+ resulted in cytotoxicity and inhibition of osteogenic differentiation. Additionally, one study showed that Zn2+ reduced apatite formation in simulated body fluid. In all of the in vivo experiments, Zn-containing materials enhanced bone formation. Conclusions At appropriate concentrations, Zn-doped synthetic polymer materials are better able to promote bone regeneration than materials without Zn.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is a field that aims to influence and improvise the processes of tissue repair and restoration and to assist the body to heal and recover. In the field of hard tissue regeneration, bio-inert materials are being predominantly used, and there is a necessity to use bioactive materials that can help in better tissue-implant interactions and facilitate the healing and regeneration process. One such bioactive material that is being focused upon and studied extensively in the past few decades is bioactive glass (BG). The original bioactive glass (45S5) is composed of silicon dioxide, sodium dioxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide and is mainly referred to by its commercial name Bioglass. BG is mainly used for bone tissue regeneration due to its osteoconductivity and osteostimulation properties. The bioactivity of BG, however, is highly dependent on the compositional ratio of certain glass-forming system content. The manipulation of content ratio and the element compositional flexibility of BG-forming network developed other types of bioactive glasses with controllable chemical durability and chemical affinity with bone and bioactivity. This review article mainly discusses the basic information about silica-based bioactive glasses, including their composition, processing, and properties, as well as their medical applications such as in bone regeneration, as bone grafts, and as dental implant coatings.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) have demonstrated promising properties for the local delivery of therapeutically active ions with the aim to improve their osteogenic properties. Manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) ions have already shown promising pro-osteogenic properties. Therefore, the concentration-dependent impact of MBGNs (composition in mol%: 70 SiO2 , 30 CaO) and MBGNs containing 5 mol% of either Mn, Zn, or Cu (composition in mol%: 70 SiO2 , 25 CaO, 5 MnO/ZnO/CuO) on the viability and osteogenic differentiation of human marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) was assessed in this study. Mn-doped MBGNs (5Mn-MBGNs) showed a small "therapeutic window" with a dose-dependent negative impact on cell viability but increasing pro-osteogenic features alongside increasing Mn concentrations. Due to a constant release of Zn, 5Zn-MBGNs showed good cytocompatibility and upregulated the expression of genes encoding for relevant members of the osseous extracellular matrix during the later stages of cultivation. In contrast to all other groups, BMSC viability increased with increasing concentration of Cu-doped MBGNs (5Cu-MBGNs). Furthermore, 5Cu-MBGNs induced an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. In conclusion, doping with Mn, Zn, or Cu can enhance the biological properties of MBGNs in different ways for their potential use in bone regeneration approaches.

Abstract
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and PCL/bioactive glass composite fiber mats were produced by electrospinning technique. To improve cell adhesion and proliferation (i) 45S5, (ii) a bioactive glass containing strontium and magnesium oxides, and (iii) a bioactive glass containing zinc oxide were separately added to the starting PCL solution before electrospinning. A good incorporation of bioactive glass particles in PCL electrospun mats was confirmed by SEM and FTIR analyses. Bioactivity was evaluated by immersion of PCL mats and PCL/bioactive glass electrospun fiber mats in simulated body fluid (SBF). Bone murine stromal cells (ST-2) were employed in WST-8 assay to assess cell viability, cell morphology, and proliferation. The results showed that the presence of bioactive glass particles in the fibers enhances cell adhesion and proliferation compared to neat PCL mats. Furthermore, PCL/bioactive glass electrospun mats showed higher wound-healing rate (measured as cell migration rate) in vitro compared to neat PCL electrospun mats. Therefore, the characteristics of the PCL matrix combined with biological properties of bioactive glasses make PCL/bioactive glass composite ideal candidate for biomedical application.

Abstract
Due to the fact of their ability to bond with human’s hard tissue, bioglasses have gained interest in the biomedical field with certain purposes regarding their usage in the replacement, healing or repair of bones. In the form of thin films, they trigger an increase in biocompatibility for the inert supports after implantation, based on surface engineering to ensure osteoinduction. For that, this research is focused on obtaining coatings based on cerium-enriched bioglass to generate bioactive and potential additional antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. The addressed oxide system was a novel and complex one, 46.10 SiO2–2.60 P2O5–16.90 CaO–10.00 MgO–19.40 Na2O–5.00 CeO2 (mol%), while two different synthesis methods, laser ablation and spin coating, were tackled comparatively. In the case of the first technique, substrate temperature was selected as variable parameter (room temperature or 300 °C). After conducting a complex characterization, films’ deposition was validated, their bioactive behaviour was proven by the formation of calcium phosphate after immersion in simulated body fluid for four weeks, while the impact exerted on the tested human fibroblast BJ cells (ATCC, CRL-2522) confirmed the applicative potential.

Abstract
Zinc can enhance osteoblastic bone formation and stimulate osteogenic differentiation, suppress the differentiation of osteoclast precursor cells into osteoclasts, and inhibit pathogenic bacterial growth in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, simonkolleite, as a novel zinc resource, was coated on poly (amino acids) (PAA) via suspending PAA powder in different concentrations of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) solution, and the simonkolleite-coated PAA (Zn–PAA) was characterized by SEM, XRD, FT-IR and XPS. Zinc ions were continuously released from the coating, and the release behavior was dependent on both the concentration of the ZnCl2 immersing solution and the type of soak solutions (SBF, PBS and DMEM). The Zn–PAA was cultured with mouse bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) through TranswellTM plates, and the results indicated that the relative cell viability, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and mineralization of BMSCs were significantly higher with Zn–PAA as compared to PAA. Moreover, the Zn–PAA was cultured with RAW264.7 cells, and the results suggested an inhibiting effect of Zn–PAA on the cell differentiation into osteoclasts. In addition, Zn–PAA exhibited an antibacterial activity against both S. aureus and E. coli. These findings suggest that simonkolleite coating with certain contents could promote osteogenesis, suppress osteoclast formation and inhibit bacteria, indicating a novel way of enhancing the functionality of synthetic bone graft material and identifying the underline principles for designing zinc-containing bone grafts.

Abstract
In this study, a series of phosphate-based glasses; (P2O5)50(Na2O)20(CaO)30-x (ZnO)x were prepared with increasing concentration of zinc oxide to determine the antimicrobial effect against clinically relevant microorganisms. The addition of 1 and 3 mol% zinc oxide decreased glass degradation however a higher dissolution rate was observed for 5 and 10 mol% ZnO. The antimicrobial results showed a concentration dependent effect on the viability of microorganisms. When in direct contact zinc doped glasses showed a complete kill, within 24 h, against Escherichia coli and a significant (p < 0.01) kill was observed against Staphylococcus aureus however the effect of dissolution products was not seen until 48 h. Furthermore, the cytotoxic studies showed no toxic effects on the viability of uroepithelial cells. This study has shown that zinc doped phosphate-based glasses can potentially be used to prevent/treat catheter associated urinary tract infections.

Abstract
Microporosity has a critical role in improving the osteogenesis of scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Although the exact mechanism, by which it promotes new bone formation, is not well recognized yet, the related hypothesis can be found in many previous studies. This review presents those possible mechanisms about how the microporosity enhances the osteogenic-related functions of cells in vitro and the osteogenic activity of scaffolds in vivo. In summary, the increased specific surface areas by microporosity can offer more protein adsorption sites and accelerate the release of degradation products, which facilitate the interactions between scaffolds and cells. Meanwhile, the unique surface properties of microporous scaffolds have a considerable effect on the protein adsorption. Moreover, capillary force generated by the microporosity can improve the attachment of bone-related cells on the scaffolds surface, and even make the cells achieve penetration into the micropores smaller than them. This review also pays attention to the relationship between the biological and mechanical properties of microporous scaffolds. Although lots of achievements have been obtained, there is still a lot of work to do, some of which has been proposed in the conclusions and perspectives part.

Abstract
Background Bone fragility and an increase in susceptibility to fracture osteoporosis is characterized by a reduction in bone mass and the micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue. There is no previous study regarding the effect of Cinnamomum burmanini Blume on osteoporosis. Objective This study was aimed to investigate the effect of C. burmanini Blume on bone turnover marker, mineral elements, and mesostructure of ovariectomized rats. Materials and methods Thirty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups, which included a control group (sham surgery), ovariectomy group (OVX), and ovariectomy groups in the presence of ethanolic extract of C. burmanini Blume (EECB) at doses of 12.5; 25; 50 mg/kg body weight (BW). Analysis of serum C-telopeptide collagen type I (CTX) and osteocalcin (OC) were done by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Tibia mineral elements and mesostructure were analyzed by X-ray Fluorescence and Scanning Electron Microscopy, respectively. In silico study was performed by modeling protein structure using SWISS-MODEL server and Ramachandran plot analysis. Results The increase in OC and CTX were significantly attenuated by treatments of EECB. Ovariectomy significantly decreased Cu/Zn ratio compared to sham-operated rats (p < 0.05). Mesostructure of ovariectomized rats was significantly different compared with the control group. Conclusion Cinnamon was able to normalize bone turnover markers, but, the mesostructure of hydroxyapatite crystal growth was achieved at the highest dose extract. In silico study showed that the active compound of EECB could not only support osteoclastogenesis process by decreasing the binding energy between RANKL and RANK, but also by inhibiting the interaction between OPG and RANK. Administration EECB significantly increased OC and CTX level compared to OVX group. The ratio of Cu/Zn was lower significantly in OVX rats compared to sham-operated rats. Hydroxyapatite crystal growth can reach at the highest dose of Cinnamon.

Abstract
Degradable phosphate-based glasses that contain strontium, zinc and calcium were investigated to examine their function as an osteoconductive material. Glass beads of the general formula of (P2O5)-(Na2O)-(TiO2)-(CaO)-(SrO) or (ZnO) were prepared by a melt quench technique followed by milling and spheroidisation. After performing x-ray diffraction on all the samples for glass structure evaluation, glass bead size distribution was initially measured by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Then, some of these samples were immersed in deionised water to evaluate both the surface changes and measure the ion release rate, whereas other samples of glass beads were incubated in culture media to determine pH changes. Furthermore, human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells MG63 and human mesenchymal stem cells were seeded on the glass beads to determine their cytocompatibility via applying CCK assay, ALP assay and Ca assay. SEM images and fluorescence images of confocal microscopy were performed for the cellular studies. While mass degradation and ion release results displayed a significant increase with zinc and strontium incorporation within time, pH results showed an initial increase in pH followed by a decrease. Cellular studies emphasised that all formulations enhanced cellular proliferation. Phosphate glass beads with zinc content 5 mol% and strontium content of 17.5 mol%, (ZnO5) and (SrO17.5) respectively displayed more promising results although they were insignificantly different from that of control (p > 0.05). This may suggest their applicability in hard tissue engineering.

Abstract
In an attempt to combat the possibility of bacterial infection and insufficient bone growth around metallic, surgical implants, bioactive glasses may be employed as coatings. In this work, silica-based and borate-based glass series were synthesized for this purpose and subsequently characterized in terms of antibacterial behavior, solubility and cytotoxicity. Borate-based glasses were found to exhibit significantly superior antibacterial properties and increased solubility compared to their silica-based counterparts, with BRT0 and BRT3 (borate-based glasses with 0 and 15 mol% of titanium dioxide incorporated, respectively) outperforming the remainder of the glasses, both borate and silicate based, in these respects. Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy confirmed the release of zinc ions (Zn2+), which has been linked to the antibacterial abilities of glasses SRT0, BRT0 and BRT3, with inhibition effectively achieved at concentrations lower than 0.7 ppm. In vitro cytotoxicity studies using MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts confirmed that cell proliferation was affected by all glasses in this study, with decreased proliferation attributed to a faster release of sodium ions over calcium ions in both glass series, factor known to slow cell proliferation in vitro.

Abstract
In the present study, novel glasses xSrO-(10-x) MgO-60SiO2-20CaO-10 P2O5 (2 ≤ x ≤ 8, in steps of 2) are synthesized via sol-gel method. The current work focusses on the evaluation of mechanical, physical and biocompatible properties for sol-gel glasses. The pore size and surface area of these glasses were studied using BET analysis. The structural aspect of the glasses/glass ceramics was studied by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. The cytotoxicity assays were conducted for MG63 human osteosarcoma cell line. Furthermore, the as prepared glasses were used for the fabrication of 3-D porous scaffolds via polymer replication method. The loaded green bodies have been sintered at 700, 800 and 900 °C and were kept for 6 h to densify the glass network. The effect of sintering temperature on the structure and properties of as prepared scaffolds were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and porosity calculations.

Abstract
Bacterial colonisation and biofilm formation are characteristics of implant-associated infections. In search of candidates for improved prosthetic materials, fast corroding Mg-based coatings on titanium surfaces were examined for their cytotoxic and antimicrobial properties. Human osteoblasts and Staphylococcus epidermidis were each cultured on cylindrical Ti samples coated with a thin layer of Mg/Mg45Zn5Ca, applied via magnetron sputtering. Uncoated titanium samples served as controls. S. epidermidis was quantified by counting colony forming units. The biofilm-bound fraction was isolated via ultrasonic treatment, and the planktonic fraction via centrifugation. Biofilm-bound S. epidermidis was significantly decreased by approximately four to five orders of magnitude in both Mg- and Mg45Zn5Ca-coated samples after seven days compared to the control. The osteoblast viability was within the tolerance threshold of 70% stated in DIN EN ISO 10993-5:2009-10 for Mg (~80%) but not for Mg45Zn5Ca (~25%). Accordingly, Mg-coated titanium was identified as a promising candidate for an implant material with antibacterial properties and low cytotoxicity levels. The approach of exploiting fast corrosion contrasts with existing methods, which have generally focused on reducing corrosion.

Abstract
Phosphate-based glasses have been examined in many studies as a potential biomaterial for bone repair because of its degradation properties, which can be controlled and allow the release of various elements to promote osteogenic tissue growth. However most of these experiments studied either tertiary or quaternary glass systems. This study investigated a qinternary system that included titanium dioxide for degradation rate control and zinc that is considered to have a role in bone formation. Zinc and titanium phosphate glass discs of different compositions were melt synthesized and samples of each composition was tested for different physical, chemical and biological characteristics via density measurement, X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis, mass loss, ion release, scanning electron microscopy, biocompatibility studies via live/dead assays at three time points (day 1, 4, and 7). The results showed that the glass was amorphous and that the all thermal variables decreased as zinc oxide amount raised, mass loss as well as ion release increased as zinc oxide increased, and the maximum rise was with ZnO15. The cellular studies showed that all the formulation showed similar cytocompatibility properties with MG63 except ZnO15, which displayed cytotoxic properties and this was confirmed also by the scanning electron microscope images. In conclusion, replacing calcium oxide with zinc oxide in proportion less than 10 % can have a positive effect on bone forming cells.

Abstract
Pure iron has been considered as a promising candidate for biodegradable implant applications. However, a faster degradation rate of pure iron is needed to meet the clinical requirement. In this work, metal vapor vacuum arc technology was adopted to implant zinc ions into the surface of pure iron. Results showed that the implantation depth of zinc ions was about 60 nm. The degradation rate of pure iron was found to be accelerated after zinc ion implantation. The cytotoxicity tests revealed that the implanted zinc ions brought a slight increase on cytotoxicity of the tested cells. In terms of hemocompatibility, the hemolysis of zinc ion implanted pure iron was lower than 2%. However, zinc ions might induce more adhered and activated platelets on the surface of pure iron. Overall, zinc ion implantation can be a feasible way to accelerate the degradation rate of pure iron for biodegradable applications.

Abstract
A bioactive glass series (0.42SiO2-0.10Na2O-0.08CaO-(0.40-x)ZnO-(x)Ga2O3) was incorporated in carboxymethyl cellulose-dextran hydrogels at three different loadings (0.05, 0.10, and 0.25 m2), and the resulting composites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, physical swelling characteristics, and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. In vitro cytocompatibility was also evaluated for composite extracts in contact with L-929 mouse fibroblasts and MC3T3-E1 human osteoblasts. Scanning electron microscopy confirmed that glass particles were distributed throughout the hydrogels, and swelling studies showed that glass presence can increase the amount of fluid that can be absorbed by the hydrogels after seven days of immersion in phosphate-buffered saline by up to 180%. Several trends were observed in the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy data, with the most important being the release of Ga3+ from both Ga-containing glasses at all three loadings, with a maximum of 4.7 mg/L released after 30 days of incubation in phosphate-buffered saline. Cell viability analysis suggested that most composite extracts did not decrease neither fibroblast nor osteoblast viability. These results indicate that it is possible to embed bioactive glass particles into carboxymethyl cellulose-dextran hydrogels, and upon submersion in aqueous media, release ions from the glass particles that may elicit therapeutic effects.

Abstract
Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) substitution for Ca(2+) in plasma sprayed calcium silicate (Ca-Si) coatings have been reported to impede their degradation in physiological environment and, more importantly, to improve their biological performance. The reason for the improved biological performance is still elusive and, especially, the contribution of the dopant ions is lack of obvious and direct evidence. In this study, we aim to identify the effect of Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) incorporation on the osteogenic ability of Ca-Si based coatings (Ca2MgSi2O7, Ca2ZnSi2O7 and Sr-CaSiO3) by minimizing the influence of Ca and Si ions release and surface physical properties. Similar surface morphology, crystallinity and roughness were achieved for all samples by optimizing the spray parameters. As expected, Ca and Si ions release from all the coatings showed the comparable concentration with immersing time. The response of MC3T3-E1 cells onto Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) doped Ca-Si coatings were studied in terms of osteoblastic adhesion, proliferation, differentiation and mineralization. The results showed that the level of cell adhesion and proliferation increased the most on the surface of Mg-modified coating. Gene expressions of early markers of osteoblast differentiation (COL-I and ALP mRNA) were obviously improved on Zn-modified coating. Gene expressions of later markers for osteoblast differentiation (OPN and OC mRNA) and mineralized nodules formation were obviously accelerated on the surface of Sr-modified coating. Since Mg(2+), Zn(2+) and Sr(2+) play a regulatory role in different stages of osteogenesis, it may be possible to utilize this in the development of new coating materials for orthopedic application.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses are reported to be able to stimulate more bone regeneration than other bioactive ceramics but they lag behind other bioactive ceramics in terms of commercial success. Bioactive glass has not yet reached its potential but research activity is growing. This paper reviews the current state of the art, starting with current products and moving onto recent developments. Larry Hench's 45S5 Bioglass® was the first artificial material that was found to form a chemical bond with bone, launching the field of bioactive ceramics. In vivo studies have shown that bioactive glasses bond with bone more rapidly than other bioceramics, and in vitro studies indicate that their osteogenic properties are due to their dissolution products stimulating osteoprogenitor cells at the genetic level. However, calcium phosphates such as tricalcium phosphate and synthetic hydroxyapatite are more widely used in the clinic. Some of the reasons are commercial, but others are due to the scientific limitations of the original Bioglass 45S5. An example is that it is difficult to produce porous bioactive glass templates (scaffolds) for bone regeneration from Bioglass 45S5 because it crystallizes during sintering. Recently, this has been overcome by understanding how the glass composition can be tailored to prevent crystallization. The sintering problems can also be avoided by synthesizing sol-gel glass, where the silica network is assembled at room temperature. Process developments in foaming, solid freeform fabrication and nanofibre spinning have now allowed the production of porous bioactive glass scaffolds from both melt- and sol-gel-derived glasses. An ideal scaffold for bone regeneration would share load with bone. Bioceramics cannot do this when the bone defect is subjected to cyclic loads, as they are brittle. To overcome this, bioactive glass polymer hybrids are being synthesized that have the potential to be tough, with congruent degradation of the bioactive inorganic and the polymer components. Key to this is creating nanoscale interpenetrating networks, the organic and inorganic components of which have covalent coupling between them, which involves careful control of the chemistry of the sol-gel process. Bioactive nanoparticles can also now be synthesized and their fate tracked as they are internalized in cells. This paper reviews the main developments in the field of bioactive glass and its variants, covering the importance of control of hierarchical structure, synthesis, processing and cellular response in the quest for new regenerative synthetic bone grafts. The paper takes the reader from Hench's Bioglass 45S5 to new hybrid materials that have tailorable mechanical properties and degradation rates.

The bioglasses possess immense potential for being the ideal biomaterials due to their high adaptiveness to the biological environment as well as tunable properties. Bioglasses like 45S5 has shown great clinical success over the past 10 years. The bioglasses like 45S5 were prepared using melt-quenching techniques but recently porous bioactive glasses have been derived through sol-gel process. The synthesis route exhibits marked effect on the specific surface area, as well as degradability of the material. This article is an attempt to provide state of the art of the sol-gel and melt quenched bioactive bioglasses for tissue regeneration. Fabrication routes for bioglasses suitable for bone tissue engineering are highlighted and the effect of these fabrication techniques on the porosity, pore-volume, mechanical properties, cytocompatibilty and especially apatite layer formation on the surface of bioglasses is analyzed in detail. Drug delivery capability of bioglasses is addressed shortly along with the bioactivity of mesoporous glasses. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses were the first synthetic materials to show bonding to bone, and they are successfully used for bone regeneration. They can degrade in the body at a rate matching that of bone formation, and through a combination of apatite crystallization on their surface and ion release they stimulate bone cell proliferation, which results in the formation of new bone. Despite their excellent properties and although they have been in clinical use for nearly thirty years, their current range of clinical applications is still small. Latest research focuses on developing new compositions to address clinical needs, including glasses for treating osteoporosis, with antibacterial properties, or for the sintering of scaffolds with improved mechanical stability. This Review discusses how the glass structure controls the properties, and shows how a structure-based design may pave the way towards new bioactive glass implants for bone regeneration.
