BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 163:213928. [PMID: 38941776 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) of Ti-based biomedical implants is a pivotal research topic because of its ability to produce implants with complicated geometries. Despite desirable mechanical properties and biocompatibility of Ti alloys, one major drawback is their lack of inherent antibacterial properties, increasing the risk of postoperative infections. Hence, this research focuses on the Ti536 (Ti5Al3V6Cu) alloy, developed through Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion (EB-PBF), exploring bio-corrosion, antibacterial features, and cell biocompatibility. The microstructural characterization revealed grain refinement and the formation of Ti2Cu precipitates with different morphologies and sizes in the Ti matrix. Electrochemical tests showed that Cu content minimally influenced the corrosion current density, while it slightly affected the stability, defect density, and chemical composition of the passive film. According to the findings, the Ti536 alloy demonstrated enhanced antibacterial properties without compromising its cell biocompatibility and corrosion behavior, thanks to Ti2Cu precipitates. This can be attributed to both the release of Cu ions and the Ti2Cu precipitates. The current study suggests that the EB-PBF fabricated Ti536 sample is well-suited for use in load-bearing applications within the medical industry. This research also offers an alloy design roadmap for novel biomedical Ti-based alloys with superior biological performance using AM methods.

Abstract
Postoperative infection and subsequent device loss are serious complications in the use of titanium dental implants and plates for jawbone reconstruction. We have previously reported that NaOH-CaCl2 -thermal-ICl3 -treated titanium (NaCaThIo) has a nano-scale surface and exhibits antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The present study examined the surface properties of mixed-acid treated and then iodine-treated titanium (MA-NaCaThIo), and evaluated oral antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity compared with the results obtained with NaCaThIo. MA-NaCaThIo formed a surface layer with a nano-scale network structure having microscale irregularities, and both the thickness of the surface layer (1.49 ± 0.16 μm) and the average surface roughness (0.35 ± 0.03 μm) were significantly higher than those of NaCaThIo. Furthermore, MA-NaCaThIo maintained high hydrophilicity with a contact angle of 7.5 ± 1.7° even after 4 weeks, as well as improved apatite formation, iodine ion release, and antibacterial activity against Prevotella intermedia compared to NaCaThIo. Cell culture test revealed that MA-NaCaThIo exhibited no cytotoxicity against MG-63 and Vero cells, while increased cell proliferation, ALP activity and mineralization of MG-63 compared to NaCaThIo. This treated titanium is expected to be useful for the development of next-generation titanium devices having both bone-bonding and antibacterial properties.

Thermal spray processes influencing surface chemistry and in-vitro hemocompatibility of hydroxyapatite-based orthopedic implants. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 158:213791. [PMID: 38295645 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213791] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024]
Abstract
Orthopedic implants made from titanium are a popular choice in the medical field because of their remarkable strength-to-weight ratio. Nevertheless, they may not interact well with human blood, resulting in thrombosis and hemolysis. In fact, non-hemocompatibility is believed to be responsible for about 31 % of medical device failures in the US alone, requiring painful and expensive revision surgery. To address this issue, bioactive hydroxyapatite coatings are applied to Ti-6Al-4V implants using thermal spray techniques. However, the temperature used during thermal processing impacts the coating's surface properties, affecting the mechanical and biological properties. Furthermore, the effectiveness of HA coatings on titanium for orthopedic applications has not been validated by biocompatibility tests, particularly hemocompatibility. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relative efficacy of three thermal spray processes of different temperature ranges: Atmospheric plasma spray (APS) (high temperature), Flame spray (FS) (moderate temperature), and High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel spray (HVOF) (low temperature), and study their impact on coating's surface properties, affecting blood components and implant's strength. The crystallinity of the HA coating increased by 32 % with a decrease in the operating temperature (APS < FS < HVOF). HVOF coating exhibited a ~ 34 % and ~ 120 % improvement in adhesion strength and ~ 31 % and 59 % increment in hardness compared to APS and FS coating, respectively, attributed to its low porosity, low coating thickness (~55 μm), and high degree of crystallinity. The HVOF coating showcased a significant increase in non-hemolytic behavior, with hemolysis rates ~8 and ~ 11 times lower than APS and FS coatings, respectively, owing to its smooth texture and high degree of crystallinity (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the HVOF coating exhibited minimal blood clotting based on the whole blood clotting assay, again confirmed by PT and aPTT assays showing delayed clotting time, indicating its non-thrombogenic behavior. The number of platelets adhered to the three coatings showed no significant difference compared to Ti-6Al-4V. APS and FS coatings showed low platelet activation, unlike HVOF coating and titanium, which revealed round platelets, similar to the negative control. Neither titanium nor HA coatings exhibited antibacterial properties, which may be due to their high affinity for organic substances, which promotes bacterial adhesion and replication. Among the three thermal processes, HVOF coating displayed good apatite growth, non-hemolytic, and non-thrombogenicity with no platelet activation owing to its low processing temperature, high degree of crystallinity (89.7 %), hydrophilicity, smooth (~4 μm) and dense (~97 %) microstructural properties. The results demonstrated that the HVOF-HA coating presented in this work meets the hemocompatible requirements and shows promise for prospective application as an orthopedic implant. Furthermore, this study has the potential to significantly reduce the use of animals in in-vivo research and improve their welfare while also cutting costs.

A novel mussel-inspired desensitizer based on radial mesoporous bioactive nanoglass for the treatment of dentin exposure: An in vitro study. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 152:106420. [PMID: 38310812 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2024.106420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The dentin exposure always leads to dentin hypersensitivity and the acid-resistant/abrasion-resistant stability of current therapeutic approaches remain unsatisfatory. Inspired by the excellent self-polymerization/adherence activity of mussels and the superior mineralization ability of bioactive glass, a novel radial mesoporous bioactive nanoglass coated with polydopamine (RMBG@PDA) was developed for prevention and management of dentin hypersensitivity. METHODS Radial mesoporous bioactive nanoglass (RMBG) was synthesized by the sol-gel process combined with the cetylpyridine bromide template self-assembly technique. RMBG@PDA was synthesized by a self-polymerization process involving dopamine and RMBG in an alkaline environment. Then, the nanoscale morphology, chemical structure, crystalline phase and Zeta potential of RMBG and RMBG@PDA were characterized. Subsequently, the ion release ability, bioactivity, and cytotoxicity of RMBG and RMBG@PDA in vitro were investigated. Moreover, an in vitro experimental model of dentin hypersensitivity was constructed to evaluate the effectiveness of RMBG@PDA on dentinal tubule occlusion, including resistances against acid and abrasion. Finally, the Young's modulus and nanohardness of acid-etched dentin were also detected after RMBG@PDA treatment. RESULTS RMBG@PDA showed a typical nanoscale morphology and noncrystalline structure. The use of RMBG@PDA on the dentin surface could effectively occlude dentinal tubules, reduce dentin permeability and achieve excellent acid- and abrasion-resistant stability. Furthermore, RMBG@PDA with excellent cytocompatibility held the capability to recover the Young's modulus and nanohardness of acid-etched dentin. CONCLUSION The application of RMBG@PDA with superior dentin tubule occlusion ability and acid/abrasion-resistant stability can provide a therapeutic strategy for the prevention and the management of dentin hypersensitivity.

Biofabrication 2024; 16:025003.

Abstract
This study develops a hybrid 3D printing approach that combines fused deposition modeling (FDM) and digital light processing (DLP) techniques for fabricating bioscaffolds, enabling rapid mass production. The FDM technique fabricates outer molds, while DLP prints struts for creating penetrating channels. By combining these components, hydroxyapatite (HA) bioscaffolds with different channel sizes (600, 800, and 1000μm) and designed porosities (10%, 12.5%, and 15%) are fabricated using the slurry casting method with centrifugal vacuum defoaming for significant densification. This innovative method produces high-strength bioscaffolds with an overall porosity of 32%-37%, featuring tightly bound HA grains and a layered surface structure, resulting in remarkable cell viability and adhesion, along with minimal degradation rates and superior calcium phosphate deposition. The HA scaffolds show hardness ranging from 1.43 to 1.87 GPa, with increasing compressive strength as the designed porosity and channel size decrease. Compared to human cancellous bone at a similar porosity range of 30%-40%, exhibiting compressive strengths of 13-70 MPa and moduli of 0.8-8 GPa, the HA scaffolds demonstrate robust strengths ranging from 40 to 73 MPa, paired with lower moduli of 0.7-1.23 GPa. These attributes make them well-suited for cancellous bone repair, effectively mitigating issues like stress shielding and bone atrophy.

Abstract
In this study, we applied argon plasma treatment to titanium surfaces with nanostructures deposited by concentrated alkali treatment and investigated the effects on the surface of the material and the tissue surrounding an implant site. The results showed that the treatment with argon plasma removed carbon contaminants and increased the surface energy of the material while the nanoscale network structure deposited on the titanium surface remained in place. Reactive oxygen species reduced the oxidative stress of bone marrow cells on the treated titanium surface, creating a favorable environment for cell proliferation. Good results were observed in vitro evaluations using rat bone marrow cells. The group treated with argon plasma exhibited the highest apatite formation in experiments using simulated body fluids. The results of in vivo evaluation using rat femurs revealed that the treatment improved the amount of new bone formation around an implant. Thus, the results demonstrate that argon plasma treatment enhances the ability of nanostructured titanium surfaces to induce hard tissue differentiation and supports new bone formation around an implant site.

Abstract
Scaffolds are an essential component in bone tissue engineering (BTE). However, most of the current BTE scaffolds are homogeneous structures and do not resemble the graded architectures of native bone. In the current study, four types of biomimicking scaffold designs based on gyroid (G) and primitive (P) units with radially graded pore sizes were devised, and scaffolds of these designs with two porosity groups (65 vol% and 75 vol%) were fabricated via digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing using biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP). Scaffolds of the gyroid-gyroid (G-G) design displayed better dimensional accuracy, compressive property, and cell proliferation rate than gyroid-primitive (G-P), primitive-gyroid (P-G), and primitive-primitive (P-P) scaffolds. Subsequently, graded G-G scaffolds with different porosities were fabricated and the relationship between compressive strength and porosity was determined. Furthermore, the sintered BCP bioceramics fabricated via current manufacturing process exhibited excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity, indicating their high potential for BTE.

Abstract
Functionalization of calcium phosphates with biomimetic peptides is a promising strategy to increase cellular response for bone tissue repair. In this work, biphasic calcium phosphate pellets were functionalized with the hydroxyapatite-binding peptide pVTK by dropping a suspension of the peptide on the pellet surface. The bioactivity tests were performed in vitro by using McCoy culture medium. Cytotoxicity tests were also performed to assess cell viability. The material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy with field emission gun (FEG-SEM). The results showed that functionalization with the biomimetic peptide was most effective in inducing precipitation of bone-like apatite on the pellets surface, when compared to the control groups (two positive control groups and one negative control group). Cytotoxicity tests showed that all samples are biocompatible but the pellets with peptide showed the highest values of cell viability.

Abstract
Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are among the main restorative dental materials used broadly in daily clinical practice. The incorporation of clay nanoparticles as reinforcing agents is one potential approach to improving GIC properties. This study aims to investigate whether the incorporation of calcium-modified clay (Ca-clay) nanoparticles in conventional GICs alters their structural characteristics, along with their physicochemical and mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed to assess the surface characterization of GIC nanocomposites, whereas a setting reaction was carried out via an attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (ATR-FTIR). A universal testing machine was used for compression tests, while calcium ion release was quantified using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). GIC composite groups reinforced with Ca-clay were found to release a fine amount of calcium ions (5.06-9.91 ppm), with the setting reaction being unaffected for low Ca-clay loadings. The median compressive strength of 3 wt% in the Ca-clay group (68.97 MPa) was nearly doubled compared to that of the control group (33.65 MPa). The incorporation of Ca-clay nanoparticles in GICs offers a promising alternative among dental restorative materials regarding their chemical and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Mechanical properties appropriate to native tissues, as an essential component in bone tissue engineering scaffolds, plays a significant role in tissue formation. In the current study, Poly-3 hydroxybutyrate-chitosan (PC) scaffolds reinforced with graphene oxide (GO) were made by the electrospinning method. The addition of GO led to a decrease in fibers diameter, an increase in thermal capacity and an improvement in the surface hydrophilicity of nanocomposite scaffolds. A significant increase in the mechanical properties of PC/GO (PCG) nanocomposite scaffolds was achieved due to the inherent strength of GO as well as its uniform dispersion throughout the polymeric matrix owing to hydrogen bonding and polar interactions. Also, lower biological degradation of the scaffolds (~30% in 100 days) due to the presence of GO provides essential mechanical support for bone regeneration. In addition, the bioactivity results showed that GO reinforcement significantly increases the biomineralization on the surface of the scaffolds. Evaluating cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as ALP activity of MG-63 cells on PC and PCG scaffolds indicated the positive effect of GO on scaffolds' biocompatibility. Overall, the improvement of physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of GO-reinforced scaffolds shows the potential of PCG nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 144:105996. [PMID: 37392603 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105996] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
In this study, first willemite (Zn2SiO4) micro and nano-powders were synthesized by the sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were applied to characterize the crystalline phases and particle size of powders. Then polycaprolactone (PCL) polymer scaffolds containing 20 wt% willemite were successfully fabricated by the DIW 3D printing (direct ink writing) method. The effects of willemite particle size on compressive strength, elastic modulus, degradation rate, and bioactivity of the composite scaffolds were investigated. The results showed that nanoparticle willemite/PCL (NW/PCL) scaffolds had 33.1% and 58.1% higher compressive strength and the elastic modulus of NW/PCL were 1.14 and 2.45 times better compared to micron size willemite/PCL (MW/PCL) and pure PCL scaffolds, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy map (EDS map) results indicated that willemite nanoparticles, unlike microparticles, were smoothly embedded in the scaffold struts. In vitro tests also revealed an improvement in bone-like apatite formation ability and an increase in the degradation rate up to 2.17% by decreasing the willemite particle size to 50 nm. In addition, NW/PCL rendered significant enhancement in cell viability and cell attachment during the culture of MG-63 human osteosarcoma cell line. Nanostructure had also a positive effect on ALP activity and biomineralization in vitro.

Abstract
Natural bone constitutes a complex and organized structure of organic and inorganic components with limited ability to regenerate and restore injured tissues, especially in large bone defects. To improve the reconstruction of the damaged bones, tissue engineering has been introduced as a promising alternative approach to the conventional therapeutic methods including surgical interventions using allograft and autograft implants. Bioengineered composite scaffolds consisting of multifunctional biomaterials in combination with the cells and bioactive therapeutic agents have great promise for bone repair and regeneration. Cellulose and its derivatives are renewable and biodegradable natural polymers that have shown promising potential in bone tissue engineering applications. Cellulose-based scaffolds possess numerous advantages attributed to their excellent properties of non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, availability through renewable resources, and the low cost of preparation and processing. Furthermore, cellulose and its derivatives have been extensively used for delivering growth factors and antibiotics directly to the site of the impaired bone tissue to promote tissue repair. This review focuses on the various classifications of cellulose-based composite scaffolds utilized in localized bone drug delivery systems and bone regeneration, including cellulose-organic composites, cellulose-inorganic composites, cellulose-organic/inorganic composites. We will also highlight the physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of the different cellulose-based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Cellulose and its derivatives are renewable and biodegradable natural polymers that with great potential for bone tissue engineering. Cellulose-based materials can be used various therapeutics directly to the bone to achieve bone regeneration. Bioinks made of cellulose-based materials hold great promise to develop patient specific solutions for bone repair using 3D printing. Challenges associated with inaccuracies in existing preclinical models, sterilization regulatory barriers still need to be addressed before clinical translation.

Abstract
Because of their excellent biologically active qualities, bioactive glasses (BGs) have been extensively used in the biomedical domain, leading to better tissue-implant interactions and promoting bone regeneration and wound healing. Aside from having attractive characteristics, BGs are appealing as a porous scaffold material. On the other hand, such porous scaffolds should enable tissue proliferation and integration with the natural bone and neighboring soft tissues and degrade at a rate that allows for new bone development while preventing bacterial colonization. Therefore, researchers have recently become interested in a different BG composition based on borate (B2O3) rather than silicate (SiO2). Furthermore, apatite synthesis in the borate-based bioactive glass (BBG) is faster than in the silicate-based bioactive glass, which slowly transforms to hydroxyapatite. This low chemical durability of BBG indicates a fast degradation process, which has become a concern for their utilization in biological and biomedical applications. To address these shortcomings, glass network modifiers, active ions, and other materials can be combined with BBG to improve the bioactivity, mechanical, and regenerative properties, including its degradation potential. To this end, this review article will highlight the details of BBGs, including their structure, properties, and medical applications, such as bone regeneration, wound care, and dental/bone implant coatings. Furthermore, the mechanism of BBG surface reaction kinetics and the role of doping ions in controlling the low chemical durability of BBG and its effects on osteogenesis and angiogenesis will be outlined.

Abstract
With the emphasis on collagen and hydroxyapatite, the main structural components of bone tissue, synthetic grafts fall short of matching the clinical efficacy of autologous bone grafts. Excluded non-collagenous protein (NCPs) and carbohydrates also participate in critical cell signaling cascades and guide mineral deposition during intermediate stages of bone healing. By mimicking the native fracture repair process, polymeric scaffolds that incorporate calcium-binding moieties present in fibrocartilage can potentially enhance their bioactivity, mineralization, and bone growth. Likewise, coating polymeric fibers with serum albumin is an additional strategy that can impart collagen-like biofunctionality and further increase mineral deposition on the fibrous surface. Here, a combination of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers with chondrocyte-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) and albumin coating were investigated as a fibrocartilage-mimetic scaffold that can serve as a woven bone precursor for bone regeneration. PCL fibrous constructs coated with dECM and albumin are shown to synergistically increase calcium concentration and calcium phosphate (CaP) deposition in a simulated body fluid biomineralization assay. Albumin/dECM coating increased osteoblast proliferation and mineral deposition in culture. In contrast, CaP coating transformed osteoblast bone lining morphology into cuboidal phenotype and arrested their proliferation. Cell sheets of osteoblasts cultured on dECM/albumin/CaP-coated constructs exhibited an increase in calcium deposition and secretion of collagen, osteopontin, osteocalcin, and bone morphogenetic protein. These results highlight the potential of biomolecular coatings to enhance bone-mimetic properties of synthetic nanofibrous scaffolds, stimulate critical protein and mineral deposition, and augment the bone's capacity to heal. Thus, mimicking the intermediate stages of bone regeneration by incorporating calcium-binding moieties may prove to be a useful strategy for improving the clinical outcomes of synthetic bone grafts.

Synthesis of Antibacterial Hybrid Hydroxyapatite/Collagen/Polysaccharide Bioactive Membranes and Their Effect on Osteoblast Culture. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23137277.

Abstract
Inspired by the composition and confined environment provided by collagen fibrils during bone formation, this study aimed to compare two different strategies to synthesize bioactive hybrid membranes and to assess the role the organic matrix plays as physical confinement during mineral phase deposition. The hybrid membranes were prepared by (1) incorporating calcium phosphate in a biopolymeric membrane for in situ hydroxyapatite (HAp) precipitation in the interstices of the biopolymeric membrane as a confined environment (Methodology 1) or (2) adding synthetic HAp nanoparticles (SHAp) to the freshly prepared biopolymeric membrane (Methodology 2). The biopolymeric membranes were based on hydrolyzed collagen (HC) and chitosan (Cht) or κ-carrageenan (κ-carr). The hybrid membranes presented homogeneous and continuous dispersion of the mineral particles embedded in the biopolymeric membrane interstices and enhanced mechanical properties. The importance of the confined spaces in biomineralization was confirmed by controlled biomimetic HAp precipitation via Methodology 1. HAp precipitation after immersion in simulated body fluid attested that the hybrid membranes were bioactive. Hybrid membranes containing Cht were not toxic to the osteoblasts. Hybrid membranes added with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) displayed antibacterial action against different clinically important pathogenic microorganisms. Overall, these results open simple and promising pathways to develop a new generation of bioactive hybrid membranes with controllable degradation rates and antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
This study aimed to add two functional components-antibacterial 45S5BGs particles and AIE nanoparticles (TPE-NIM+) with bioprobe characteristics-to the guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane, to optimize the performance. The PLGA/BG/TPE-NIM+ membrane was synthesized. The static water contact angle, morphologies, and surface element analysis of the membrane were then characterized. In vitro biocompatibility was tested with MC3T3-E1 cells using CCK-8 assay, and antibacterial property was evaluated with Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis by the LIVE/DEAD bacterial staining and dilution plating procedure. The fluorescence staining of bacteria was observed by Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope. The results showed that the average water contact angle was 46°. In the cytotoxicity test, except for the positive control group, there was no significant difference among the groups (p > 0.05). The antibacterial effect in the PLGA/BG/TPE-NIM+ group was significantly (p < 0.01), while the sterilization rate was 99.99%, better than that in the PLGA/BG group (98.62%) (p < 0.01). Confocal images showed that the membrane efficiently distinguished G+ bacteria from G- bacteria. This study demonstrated that the PLGA/BG/TPE-NIM+ membrane showed good biocompatibility, efficient sterilization performance, and surface mineralization ability and could be used to detect pathogens in a simple, fast, and wash-free protocol.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses are surface-reactive glasses that, when placed in physiological fluid, undergo a transformation from glass to hydroxyapatite. Doping the bioactive glass with metallic ions can impart desirable and unique properties that are not inherent to natural hydroxyapatite. Once such ion is titanium. Titanium exists in trace amounts in native dental enamel, and its presence has been correlated with increased tooth hardness and brightness, both desirable clinical properties. Synthetic titanium-substituted hydroxyapatite exhibits better mechanical and antibacterial properties and demonstrates potential for an improved cellular response when compared to unmodified hydroxyapatite with applications in the broader field of bone tissue engineering. In this work, we use the sol-gel method to synthesize a titanium-containing silicate-based bioactive glass aimed at generating titanium-substituted hydroxyapatite on the glass surface upon immersion in body fluid. Titanium is homogeneously distributed throughout our glass, which keeps its amorphous nature. After 14 days of immersion in simulated body fluid, the glass forms a titanium-substituted hydroxyapatite on its surface. Enamel surfaces treated with the titanium-containing glass show significantly increased microhardness compared to enamel surfaces treated with a control glass, confirming the potential for the proposed glass in enamel remineralization. We also show that the presence of titanium in the glass promotes cell differentiation toward bone formation, suggesting further applications for this material in the broader field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory, bacteria-triggered disorder affecting nearly half of American adults. Although some level of tissue regeneration is realized, its low success in complex cases demands superior strategies to amplify regenerative capacity. Herein, highly ordered scaffolds are engineered via Melt ElectroWriting (MEW), and the effects of strand spacing, as well as the presence of a nanostructured fluorinated calcium phosphate (F/CaP) coating on the adhesion/proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of human-derived periodontal ligament stem cells, are investigated. Upon initial cell-scaffold interaction screening aimed at defining the most suitable design, MEW poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds with 500 µm strand spacing are chosen. Following an alkali treatment, scaffolds are immersed in a pre-established solution to allow for coating formation. The presence of a nanostructured F/CaP coating leads to a marked upregulation of osteogenic genes and attenuated bacterial growth. In vivo findings confirm that the F/CaP-coated scaffolds are biocompatible and lead to periodontal regeneration when implanted in a rat mandibular periodontal fenestration defect model. In aggregate, it is considered that this work can contribute to the development of personalized scaffolds capable of enabling tissue-specific differentiation of progenitor cells, and thus guide simultaneous and coordinated regeneration of soft and hard periodontal tissues, while providing antimicrobial protection.

Abstract
Autologous bone grafting remains the gold standard for almost all bone void-filling orthopedic surgery. However, autologous bone grafting has several limitations, thus scientists are trying to identify an ideal synthetic material as an alternative bone graft substitute. Magnesium-doped biphasic calcium phosphate (Mg-BCP) has recently been in the spotlight and is considered to be a potential bone substitute. The Mg-BCP is a mixture of two bioceramics, that is, hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), doped with Mg2+ , and can be synthesized through chemical wet-precipitation, sol-gel, single diffusion gel, and solid state reactions. Regardless of the synthesis routes, it is found that the Mg2+ preferentially accommodates in β-TCP lattice instead of the HA lattice. The addition of Mg2+ to BCP leads to desirable physicochemical properties and is found to enhance the apatite-forming ability as compared to pristine BCP. In vitro results suggest that the Mg-BCP is bioactive and not toxic to cells. Implantation of Mg-BCP in in vivo models further affirmed its biocompatibility and efficacy as a bone substitute. However, like the other bioceramics, the optimum physicochemical properties of the Mg-BCP scaffold have yet to be determined. Further investigations are required regarding Mg-BCP applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the orthopedic and dental fields, simultaneously conferring titanium (Ti) and its alloy implants with antibacterial and bone-bonding capabilities is an outstanding challenge. In the present study, we developed a novel combined solution and heat treatment that controllably incorporates 0.7% to 10.5% of iodine into Ti and its alloys by ion exchange with calcium ions in a bioactive calcium titanate. The treated metals formed iodine-containing calcium-deficient calcium titanate with abundant Ti-OH groups on their surfaces. High-resolution XPS analysis revealed that the incorporated iodine ions were mainly positively charged. The surface treatment also induced a shift in the isoelectric point toward a higher pH, which indicated a prevalence of basic surface functionalities. The Ti loaded with 8.6% iodine slowly released 5.6 ppm of iodine over 90 days and exhibited strong antibacterial activity (reduction rate >99%) against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), S. aureus, Escherichia coli, and S. epidermidis. A long-term stability test of the antibacterial activity on MRSA showed that the treated Ti maintained a >99% reduction until 3 months, and then it gradually decreased after 6 months (to a 97.3% reduction). There was no cytotoxicity in MC3T3-E1 or L929 cells, whereas apatite formed on the treated metal in a simulated body fluid within 3 days. It is expected that the iodine-carrying Ti and its alloys will be particularly useful for orthopedic and dental implants since they reliably bond to bone and prevent infection owing to their apatite formation, cytocompatibility, and sustainable antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Direct pulp capping (DPC) is one of the treatment plans for deep caries with mechanical pulp exposure that can replace invasive treatments. This study aimed to assess the apatite-forming ability and solubility of a calcium phosphate cement (CPC) modified with bioactive glass (BG) as a potential bioactive material for DPC.Three different biomaterials including CPC, BG, and CPC/BG composite were used in this study. For bioactivity evaluation, specimens were immersed in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 5 time periods (3, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days). The samples were analyzed by SEM, EDS and XRD to confirm the formation of hydroxyapatite. The solubility was calculated by measuring the initial and final mass according to the ISO 6876 specifications.According to the results of this study, SEM observations and XRD analysis revealed higher formation of hydroxyapatite crystals in the CPC/BG Group and also at the shorter time than those in the CPC and BG groups. Concerning solubility, the CPC group showed the most solubility after 7 days and the BG group showed the lowest one. At this time the difference between CPC and BG groups was statistically meaningful (p value=0.003). After 30 days the CPC/BG group exhibited the lowest solubility value. At the day 30, the CPC and BG groups showed significant difference in their solubility (p value=0.04).).Based on the results, addition of BG to CPC improved bioactivity properties of CPC material and did not affect its solubility adversely. The CPC/BG composite seems to be a promising material for DPC. Further in vivo studies are needed to prove its clinical success.

Abstract
Electrospun porous bone scaffolds are known to imitate the extracellular matrix very well and provide an environment through which the tissue formation is enhanced. Although polymeric scaffolds have a great potential in bone tissue regeneration, their weak bioactivity (bone bonding ability) and mechanical properties have left room for improvement. Therefore, the present study focused on the developing a ternary multifunctional platform composed of polycaprolactone (PCL)/silk fibroin (SF)/Zn-substituted Mg2SiO4 nanoparticles for bone tissue regeneration. This study is composed of two connected sections including synthesis and characterization of Mg(2-x)ZnxSiO4, x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 through surfactant-assisted sol-gel technique followed by incorporation of the nanoparticles into PCL/SF hybrid scaffold via electrospinning technique. The weight ratios of polymers and ceramic nanoparticles were optimized to reach desirable textural-porosity, pore size, and fiber diameter-and mechanical properties. Having optimized the ternary scaffold, it was then undergone different physical, chemical, and biological tests in vitro. A precise comparison study between the ternary (PCL/SF/ceramic nanoparticles), binary (PCL/SF), and pure PCL was made to shed light on the effect of each composition on the applicability of ternary scaffold. The overall results confirmed that the Mg1Zn1SiO4 nanoparticles-incorporated PCL/SF scaffold with fluorescence property was the one yielding the highest Young's modulus and desirable textural properties. The ternary scaffold showed improved biological properties making it a promising candidate for further studies towards bone tissue regeneration.

Extracellular-Vesicle-Based Coatings Enhance Bioactivity of Titanium Implants-SurfEV. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11061445.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoparticles released by cells that contain a multitude of biomolecules, which act synergistically to signal multiple cell types. EVs are ideal candidates for promoting tissue growth and regeneration. The tissue regenerative potential of EVs raises the tantalizing possibility that immobilizing EVs on implant surfaces could potentially generate highly bioactive and cell-instructive surfaces that would enhance implant integration into the body. Such surfaces could address a critical limitation of current implants, which do not promote bone tissue formation or bond bone. Here, we developed bioactive titanium surface coatings (SurfEV) using two types of EVs: secreted by decidual mesenchymal stem cells (DEVs) and isolated from fermented papaya fluid (PEVs). For each EV type, we determined the size, morphology, and molecular composition. High concentrations of DEVs enhanced cell proliferation, wound closure, and migration distance of osteoblasts. In contrast, the cell proliferation and wound closure decreased with increasing concentration of PEVs. DEVs enhanced Ca/P deposition on the titanium surface, which suggests improvement in bone bonding ability of the implant (i.e., osteointegration). EVs also increased production of Ca and P by osteoblasts and promoted the deposition of mineral phase, which suggests EVs play key roles in cell mineralization. We also found that DEVs stimulated the secretion of secondary EVs observed by the presence of protruding structures on the cell membrane. We concluded that, by functionalizing implant surfaces with specialized EVs, we will be able to enhance implant osteointegration by improving hydroxyapatite formation directly at the surface and potentially circumvent aseptic loosening of implants.

Abstract
The use of simulated biological fluids (SBFs) is a promising in vitro technique to better understand the release mechanisms and possible in vivo behaviour of materials, including fibres, metal-containing particles and nanomaterials. Applications of SBFs in dissolution tests allow a measure of material biopersistence or, conversely, bioaccessibility that in turn can provide a useful inference of a materials biodistribution, its acute and long-term toxicity, as well as its pathogenicity. Given the wide range of SBFs reported in the literature, a review was conducted, with a focus on fluids used to replicate environments that may be encountered upon material inhalation, including extracellular and intracellular compartments. The review aims to identify when a fluid design can replicate realistic biological conditions, demonstrate operation validation, and/or provide robustness and reproducibility. The studies examined highlight simulated lung fluids (SLFs) that have been shown to suitably replicate physiological conditions, and identify specific components that play a pivotal role in dissolution mechanisms and biological activity; including organic molecules, redox-active species and chelating agents. Material dissolution was not always driven by pH, and likewise not only driven by SLF composition; specific materials and formulations correspond to specific dissolution mechanisms. It is recommended that SLF developments focus on biological predictivity and if not practical, on better biological mimicry, as such an approach ensures results are more likely to reflect in vivo behaviour regardless of the material under investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of study was to develop and characterize experimental bioactive glasses (45S5 and niobophosphate bioactive glass (NbG)) and evaluate the effects of their addition in self-etching adhesive systems on physicochemical, mechanical, and bioactive properties, microtensile bond strength (μTBS), and nanoleakage (NL). METHODS Two-step self-etching adhesive systems containing 5, 10, and 20 wt.% of 45S5 and NbG bioactive glasses were developed. An experimental adhesive without microparticles and a commercial adhesive (Clearfil SE Bond) were used as control groups. The materials were evaluated for their degree of conversion (DC%), ultimate tensile strength (UTS), softening in solvent, radiopacity, sorption and solubility, alkalizing activity (pH), ionic release, and bioactivity. μTBS and NL were evaluated after 24 h and 1 year of storage. The data were subjected to analysis of variance and post-Holm-Sidak tests (α = 0.05). RESULTS The addition of the two bioactive glasses did not change the values of the degree of conversion, ultimate tensile strength, and softening in solvent. The adhesive system containing 20% NbG showed the highest radiopacity. The incorporation of 45S5 increased water sorption and solubility, raised the pH, and allowed the release of large amounts of calcium. After 28 days of immersion in simulated body fluid, the 45S5 adhesive precipitated hydroxyapatite and calcium carbonate (SEM/EDX, ATR/FTIR, and XDR). The addition of 45S5 and NbG to the adhesives improved the stability of the resin-dentin interface after 1 year. SIGNIFICANCE The incorporation of microparticles from 45S5 bioactive glass in self-etching adhesive systems is considered an excellent alternative for the development of a bioactive adhesive that improves the integrity of the hybrid layer on sound dentin.

Abstract
Macrophages play an important role in the immune microenvironment during bone healing, and sequential macrophage phenotypic transition could achieve superior osteogenic outcomes. Microcrystalline bioactive glasses (MCBGs) with osteoimmunomodulatory effects show potential in bone tissue regeneration. Zinc (Zn) has been approved to coordinate innate and adaptive immunity. Therefore, in this study, different amounts of ZnO were incorporated into microcrystalline bioactive glass to improve its immunomodulatory ability. The effect of Zn-MCBG ionic extracts on macrophage transition was studied, and the 5Zn-MCBG extracts could orchestrate sequential M1-to-M2 macrophage transition and promote the expression of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory genes and cytokine expression to induce human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) osteogenic differentiation in vitro. Macroporous Zn-MCBG scaffolds containing mesopores were fabricated and showed good cell adhesion and feasible apatite formation when immersed in SBF in vitro. Furthermore, a rat calvarial defect model was used to confirm that the Zn-MCBG scaffold could modulate macrophage phenotypic transition and create a desirable osteogenic microenvironment to promote osteogenesis in vivo.

Abstract
The surface topography of dental implants and micro-nano surface characterization have gained particular interest for the improvement of the osseointegration phases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface micro-nanomorphology and bioactivity (apatite forming ability) of Ossean® surface, a resorbable blast medium (RBM) blasted surface further processed through the incorporation of a low amount of calcium phosphate. The implants were analyzed using environmental scanning electronic microscopy (ESEM), connected to Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), field emission gun SEM-EDX (SEM-FEG) micro-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) before and after immersion in weekly refreshed Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) for 28 days. The analysis of the samples before immersion showed a moderately rough surface, with micropits and microgrooves distributed on all of the surface; EDX microanalysis revealed the constitutional elements of the implant surface, namely titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al) and vanadium (V). Limited traces of calcium (Ca) and phosphorous (P) were detected, attributable to the incorporated calcium phosphate. No traces of calcium phosphate phases were detected by micro-Raman spectroscopy. ESEM analysis of the implant aged in HBSS for 28 days revealed a significantly different surface, compared to the implant before immersion. At original magnifications <2000×, a homogeneous mineral layer was present on all the surface, covering all the pits and microgrooves. At original magnifications ≥10,000×, the mineral layer revealed the presence of small microspherulites. The structure of these spherulites (approx. 2 µm diameter) was observed in nanoimmersion mode revealing a regular shape with a hairy-like contour. Micro-Raman analysis showed the presence of B-type carbonated apatite on the implant surface, which was further confirmed by XPS analysis. This implant showed a micro-nano-textured surface supporting the formation of a biocompatible apatite when immersed in HBSS. These properties may likely favor bone anchorage and healing by stimulation of mineralizing cells.

Abstract
Bacterial infection raises serious concerns in tissue repair settings involved with implantable biomaterials, devastating the regenerative process and even life-threatening. When hard tissues are infected with bacteria (called 'osteomyelitis'), often the cases in open fracture or chronic inflammation, a complete restoration of regenerative capacity is significantly challenging even with highly-dosed antibiotics or surgical intervention. The implantable biomaterials are thus needed to be armored to fight bacteria then to relay regenerative events. To this end, here we propose a nanoglass paste made of ~200-nm-sized silicate-glass (with Ca, Cu) particles that are hardened in contact with aqueous medium and multiple-therapeutic, i.e., anti-bacterial, pro-angiogenic and osteopromotive. The nanoglass paste self-hardened via networks of precipitated nano-islands from leached ions to exhibit ultrahigh surface area (~300 m2/g), amenable to fill tunable defects with active biomolecular interactions. Also, the nanoglass paste could release multiple ions (silicate, calcium, and copper) at therapeutically relevant doses and sustainably (for days to weeks), implying possible roles in surrounding cells/tissues as a therapeutic-ions reservoir. The osteopromotive effects of nanoglass paste were evidenced by the stimulated osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Also, the nanoglass paste promoted angiogenesis of endothelial cells in vitro and vasculature formation in vivo. Furthermore, the significant bactericidal effect of nanoglass paste, as assessed with E. coli and S. aureus, highlighted the role of copper played in elevating ROS level and destroying homeostasis, which salvaged tissue cells from co-cultivated bacteria contamination. When administered topically to rat tibia osteomyelitis defects, the nanoglass paste enhanced in vivo bone healing and fracture resistance. The developed nanoglass paste, given its self-setting property and the coordinated therapeutic actions, is considered to be a promising drug-free inorganic biomaterial platform for the regenerative therapy of bacteria-infected hard tissues.

Pharmaceutics 2020; 12:E1192.

Abstract
In this study, we integrated different calcium sources into sol-gel hybrid glass scaffolds with the aim of producing implants with long-lasting calcium release while maintaining mechanical strength of the implant. Calcium(II)-release was used to introduce bioactivity to the material and eventually support implant integration into a bone tissue defect. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) derived silica sols were cross-linked with an ethoxysilylated 4-armed macromer, pentaerythritol ethoxylate and processed into macroporous scaffolds with defined pore structure by indirect rapid prototyping. Triethyl phosphate (TEP) was shown to function as silica sol solvent. In a first approach, we investigated the integration of 1 to 10% CaCl2 in order to test the hypothesis that small CaCl2 amounts can be physically entrapped and slowly released from hybrid glass scaffolds. With 5 and 10% CaCl2 we observed an extensive burst release, whereas slightly improved release profiles were found for lower Calcium(II) contents. In contrast, introduction of melt-derived bioactive 45S5 glass microparticles (BG-MP) into the hybrid glass scaffolds as another Calcium(II) source led to an approximately linear release of Calcium(II) in Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (TRIS) buffer over 12 weeks. pH increase caused by BG-MP could be controlled by their amount integrated into the scaffolds. Compression strength remained unchanged compared to scaffolds without BG-MP. In cell culture medium as well as in simulated body fluid, we observed a rapid formation of a carbonated hydroxyapatite layer on BG-MP containing scaffolds. However, this mineral layer consumed the released Calcium(II) ions and prevented an additional increase in Calcium(II) concentration in the cell culture medium. Cell culture studies on the different scaffolds with osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells as well as bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) did not show any advantages concerning osteogenic differentiation due to the integration of BG-MP into the scaffolds. Nonetheless, via the formation of a hydroxyapatite layer and the ability to control the pH increase, we speculate that implant integration in vivo and bone regeneration may benefit from this concept.

Abstract
Weak osteogenic activity affects the long-term fixation and lifespan of titanium (Ti) implants. Surface modification along with a built-in porous structure is a highly considerable approach to improve the osteoinduction and osseointegration capacity of Ti. Herein, the osteoinduction and osteogenic activities of electrochemically deposited (ED) nanoplate-like, nanorod-like and nanoneedle-like hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings (named EDHA-P, EDHA-R, and EDHA-N, respectively) were evaluated in vitro and in vivo by comparison with those of acid/alkali (AA) treatment. The results revealed that the apatite forming ability of all nanostructured EDHA coatings was excellent, and only 12 h of soaking in SBF was needed to induce a complete layer of apatite. More serum proteins adsorbed on EDHA-P than others. In cellular experiments, different from those on EDHA-R and EDHA-N, the cells on EDHA-P presented a polygonal shape with lamellipodia extension, and thus exhibited a relatively larger spreading area. Furthermore, EDHA-P was more favorable for the enhancement of the proliferation and ALP activity of BMSCs, and the up-regulation of OPN gene expression. Based on the good biological performance in vitro, EDHA-P was selected to further evaluate its osteoinduction and osteogenic activities in vivo by comparison with AA treatment. Interestingly, a greater ability of ectopic osteoinduction was observed in the EDHA-P group compared to that in the AA group. At the osseous site, EDHA-P promoted more bone on/ingrowth, and had a higher area percentage of newly formed bone in the bone-implant interface and inner pores of the implants than in the AA group. Thus, a nanoplate-like HA coating has good potential in improving the osteoinductivity and osteogenic activity of porous Ti implants in clinical applications.

The Use of Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) for Assessing Materials Bioactivity in the Context of Tissue Engineering: Review and Challenges. Biomimetics (Basel) 2020; 5:biomimetics5040057.

Abstract
Some special implantable materials are defined as “bioactive” if they can bond to living bone, forming a tight and chemically-stable interface. This property, which is inherent to some glass compositions, or can be induced by applying appropriate surface treatments on otherwise bio-inert metals, can be evaluated in vitro by immersion studies in simulated body fluid (SBF), mimicking the composition of human plasma. As a result, apatite coating may form on the material surface, and the presence of this bone-like “biomimetic skin” is considered predictive of bone-bonding ability in vivo. This review article summarizes the story and evolution of in vitro bioactivity testing methods using SBF, highlighting the influence of testing parameters (e.g., formulation and circulation of the solution) and material-related parameters (e.g., composition, geometry, texture). Suggestions for future methodological refinements are also provided at the end of the paper.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based biomaterials have advanced bone tissue engineering approaches in the last decade, through their ability to serve as a carrier for potent growth factor, bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2). However, biophysical properties of hydrogels such as multiscale structural hierarchy and bone extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimetic microarchitecture are underutilized while designing current bone grafts. Incorporation of these properties offers great potential to create a favorable biomimetic microenvironment to harness their regenerative potential. Here, we present our approach to fabricate collagen-inspired bioactive hydrogel scaffolds (referred to as "RegenMatrix") to guide and enhance bone regeneration in a rabbit ulna defect model through the mimicry of multiscale architecture of bone ECM, i.e., native collagen. Specifically, we employed polyelectrolyte complexation to promote bottom-up self-assembly of oppositely charged polysaccharides (chitosan and kappa-carrageenan) at multiple length scales forming fibrils, which further assemble into fibers. The self-assembly and bioinspired scaffold fabrication method resulted in robust cylindrical RegenMatrix with excellent retention of the multiscale architecture and uniform mineral deposition throughout the scaffolds. RegenMatrix, in both nonmineralized and mineralized forms, enhanced bone regeneration in the semiload-bearing ulna defect when compared to the empty defect. RegenMatrix also showed greater histocompatibility without any fibrous tissue formation. Collectively, the RegenMatrix developed in this study has a great potential as a bioactive bone graft without any added growth factors.

Abstract
Functional reconstruction of bone defects represents a clinical challenge in the regenerative medicine field, which targets tissue repair following traumatic injuries and disease-related bone deficiencies. In this regard, the optimal biomaterial should be safe, biocompatible and tailored in order to promote the activation of host progenitor cells towards bone repair. Bioactive glasses might be suitable biomaterials due to their composition being able to induce the host healing response and, eventually, anti-bacterial properties. In this study we investigated whether and how an innovative bioactive glass composition, called BGMS10, may affect cell adhesion, morphology, proliferation, immunomodulation and osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). When cultured on BGMS10, hDPSCs maintained their proliferation rate and typical fibroblast-like morphology, showing the expression of stemness markers STRO-1 and c-Kit. Moreover, the expression of FasL, a key molecule in mediating immunomodulation effects of hDPSCs, was maintained. BGMS10 also proved to trigger osteogenic commitment of hDPSCs, as confirmed by the activation of bone-related transcription factors RUNX2 and Osx and the ongoing deposition of extracellular matrix supported by the expression of OPN and OCN. Our findings suggest that BGMS10 not only maintains the typical biological and immunomodulatory properties of hDPSCs but also favors the osteogenic commitment.

Abstract
This study aimed to develop polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) -based scaffold enriched with hyaluronic acid (HA) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) using physical crosslinking by freezing-thawing method. We accomplished biological evaluation of scaffolds, swelling degree, bioactivity assessment, and hemolytic test. The results showed that all types of scaffolds should be safe for use in the human body. The culturing of human osteoblast-like cells MG-63 and their proliferation showed better adhesion of cells due to the presence of HA and confirmed better proliferation depending on the amount of HAp. This paper gives the optimal composition of the scaffold and the optimal amount of the particular components of the scaffold. Based on our results we concluded that the best PVA/HA/HAp combination is in the ratio 3:1:2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the context of minimally invasive dentistry and tissue conservation, bioactive products are valuable. The aim of this review was to identify, clarify, and classify the methodologies used to quantify the bioactive glasses bioactivity. METHODS Specific search strategies were performed in electronic databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Scopus. Papers were selected after a review of their title, abstract, and full text. The following data were then examined for final selection: BAG investigated, objectives, criteria, methods, and outcomes. RESULTS Sixty-one studies published from 2001 to 2019, were included. The bioactivity of BAG can be evaluated in vitro in contact with solutions, enamel, dentin, or cells. Other studies have conducted in vivo evaluation by BAG contact with dentin and dental pulp. Studies have used various analysis techniques: evaluation of apatite with or without characterization or assessment of mechanical properties. Reprecipitation mechanisms and pulp cell stimulation are treated together through the term 'bioactivity'. SIGNIFICANCE Based on these results, we suggested a classification of methodologies for a better understanding of the bioactive properties of BAG. According to all in vitro studies, BAG appear to be bioactive materials. No consensus has been reached on the results of in vivo studies, and no comparison has been conducted between protocols to assess the bioactivity of other bioactive competitor products.

Abstract
The characterization of degradation of biodegradable materials for tissue regeneration is classically carried out in three steps: in vitro degradation analysis, in vitro cell culture, and in vivo animal experiments. Each step involves an increasing complexity and should serve a more sophisticated material selection, which serves as an orientation to clinical studies and the final application in patients. Recently, the usefulness of degradation analyses is being discussed. In this context, the aim of this work is to increase the importance of in vitro degradation analysis by using flowing media to move closer to the in vivo situation. In the long term, this should lead to a more sensitive biomaterial characterization as well as to a replacement of time-consuming static or quasi-dynamic incubation experiments. The practicability of the novel chamber is demonstrated in context of a degradation study of silica/collagen/calcium phosphate composites in flowing media with physiological (2.4 mM) and lowered (0.5 mM) calcium ion concentrations. This is done by comparison with static and quasi-dynamic incubation experiments. In order to keep all media regimes comparable to each other, for the dynamic experiment, a flow rate was chosen equivalent to the medium exchange in quasi-dynamic incubation. Under flow-through conditions, there is a clearly decreased tendency to lower the calcium concentration, so that a concentration close to the physiological initial situation can be continuously maintained.

Abstract
Here we report silver incorporated anatase TiO2 developed on Ti metal by H2O2-AgNO3 and heat treatment to have faster biomineralisation or apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid (SBF). Apatite-forming ability has been investigated concerning heat treatment temperatures ranges, 400-800 °C and duration of soaking period in SBF. The apatite formation showed an increasing trend with increase in the heat treatment temperatures up to 600 °C and beyond that the Ti metal lost this ability. XRD as wells as Raman results of such chemical and heat-treated Ti metal at different temperatures further correlates the apatite nucleation directly in relation with that of anatase to rutile TiO2 formation. Further, a time dependent apatite mineralisation study by XPS revealed simultaneous calcium and phosphate deposition at the early stage of soaking in SBF. Therefore, the apatite nucleation in the present chemically treated Ti metal depends on the crystalline phase of TiO2 formed by H2O2 and heat treatment along with Ag+ ion release.

Abstract
PURPOSE The present study sought to design a multi-functional fusion peptide with hydroxyapatite (HA) binding domain (HABD) and heparin binding domain (HBD). METHODS The 74 amino acid fusion peptide contained N-terminus of the fibrinogen β chain (β 15-66), double G4S-linker and 12 residues with HA affinity. This construct was designed, synthesized and cloned into pET21a(+) vector and expressed in E. coli. RESULTS HABD facilitated purification of the fusion peptide by HA affinity chromatography. Kinetic peptide binding and release on HA scaffold showed sustained release of peptide for up to 16 days. Competitive ELISA and intrinsic fluorescence assays were applied to determine HBD affinity to bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). The disassociation rate constant (Kd ) for HBD and rhBMP-2 was approximately 9.2-12 nM. CONCLUSION The fusion peptide developed in the present study, allowed for streamlined purification on HA affinity chromatography, as well as sustained release from HA scaffold, attributed to its HABD. HBD mediated binding to BMP-2, which may be potentially useful for bone repair. Additional studies, including in vivo investigation will be required to assess the efficacy of the fusion peptide in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells are extracellular vesicles released to facilitate cell communication and function. Recently, polylactic acid (PLA), calcium silicates (CaSi), and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) have been used to produce bioresorbable functional mineral-doped porous scaffolds-through thermally induced phase separation technique, as materials for bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mineral-doped PLA-based porous scaffolds enriched with exosome vesicles (EVs) on osteogenic commitment of human adipose mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs). Two different mineral-doped scaffolds were produced: PLA-10CaSi-10DCPD and PLA-5CaSi-5DCPD. Scaffolds surface micromorphology was investigated by ESEM-EDX before and after 28 days immersion in simulated body fluid (HBSS). Exosomes were deposited on the surface of the scaffolds and the effect of exosome-enriched scaffolds on osteogenic commitment of hAD-MSCs cultured in proximity of the scaffolds has been evaluated by real time PCR. In addition, the biocompatibility was evaluated by direct-contact seeding hAD-MSCs on scaffolds surface-using MTT viability test. In both formulations, ESEM showed pores similar in shape (circular and elliptic) and size (from 10-30 µm diameter). The porosity of the scaffolds decreased after 28 days immersion in simulated body fluid. Mineral-doped scaffolds showed a dynamic surface and created a suitable bone-forming microenvironment. The presence of the mineral fillers increased the osteogenic commitment of hAD-MSCs. Exosomes were easily entrapped on the surface of the scaffolds and their presence improved gene expression of major markers of osteogenesis such as collagen type I, osteopontin, osteonectin, osteocalcin. The experimental scaffolds enriched with exosomes, in particular PLA-10CaSi-10DCPD, increased the osteogenic commitment of MSCs. In conclusion, the enrichment of bioresorbable functional scaffolds with exosomes is confirmed as a potential strategy to improve bone regeneration procedures.

[PMID: 31734414 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2019.11.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 50] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Revised: 10/31/2019] [Accepted: 11/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Bioactive materials, able to induce hydroxyapatite precipitation in contact with body fluids, are of great interest for their bone bonding capacity. . The aim of this paper is to compare bioactive materials with different surface features to verify the mechanisms of action and the relationship with kinetics and type of precipitated hydroxyapatite over time. Four different surface treatments for Ti/Ti6Al4V alloy and a bioactive glass were selected and a different mechanism of bioactivity is supposed for each of them. Apart from the conventional techniques (FESEM, XPS and EDX), less common characterizations (zeta potential measurements on solid surfaces and FTIR chemical imaging) were applied. The results suggest that the OH groups on the surface have several effects: the total number of the OH groups mainly affects hydrophilicity of surfaces, while the isoelectric points, surface charge and ions attraction mainly depend on OH acidic/basic strength. Kinetics of hydroxyapatite precipitation is faster when it involves a mechanism of ion exchange while it is slower when it is due to electrostatic effects . The electrostatic effect cooperates with ion exchange and it speeds up kinetics of hydroxyapatite precipitation. Different bioactive surfaces are able to differently induce precipitation of type A and B of hydroxyapatite, as well as different degrees of crystallinity and carbonation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The bone is made of a ceramic phase (a specific type of hydroxyapatite), a network of collagen fibers and the biological tissue. A strong bond of an orthopedic or dental implant with the bone is achieved by bioactive materials where precipitation and growth of hydroxyapatite occurs on the implant surface starting from the ions in the physiological fluids. Several bioactive materials are already known and used, but their mechanism of action is not completely known and the type of precipitated hydroxyapatite not fully investigated. In this work, bioactive titanium and bioglass surfaces are compared through conventional and innovative methodologies. Different mechanisms of bioactivity are identified, with different kinetics and the materials are able to induce precipitation of different types of hydroxyapatite, with different degree of crystallinity and carbonation.
