[PMID: 39053385 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213958] [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: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Irregular bone defects caused by trauma and bone diseases provide a complex implant environment for surgery. Traditional implants often fail to integrate well with the surrounding bone defect interface, therefore, developing an artificial bone scaffold that can adapt to irregular bone defect boundaries is of significant importance for bone defect repair. This study successfully utilized a shape memory ternary copolymer polylactic acid-trimethylene carbonate-hydroxyacetic acid (PLLA-TMC-GA) and dopamine-modified nano-hydroxyapatite (PHA) composite to construct a temperature-responsive bone repair scaffold (PTG/PHA), thereby enhancing the interface compatibility between the implant and the surrounding environment. The addition of PHA has effectively improved the hydrophilicity of the stent and significantly increased its mechanical strength. Furthermore, the Sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel loaded with Icariin (Ica) coated on the stent surface promotes the growth and differentiation of bone cells through the drug-scaffold synergistic effect. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that the synergistic effect of the composite stent with Icariin significantly enhances the repair of bone defects. This study provides a promising tissue engineering method for the repair of irregular bone defects.

Abstract
Because of their high specificity, high affinity, and targeting, antibody drugs have been widely used in the treatment of many diseases and have become the most favored new drugs for research in the world. However, some antibody drugs (such as small-molecule antibody fragments) have a short half-life and need to be administered frequently, and are often associated with injection-site reactions and local toxicities during use. Increasing attention has been paid to the development of antibody drugs that are long-acting and have fewer side effects. This paper reviews existing strategies to achieve long-acting antibody drugs, including modification of the drug structure, the application of drug delivery systems, and changing their administration route. Among these, microspheres have been studied extensively regarding their excellent tolerance at the injection site, controllable loading and release of drugs, and good material safety. Subcutaneous injection is favored by most patients because it can be quickly self-administered. Subcutaneous injection of microspheres is expected to become the focus of developing long-lasting antibody drug strategies in the near future.

Abstract
The bioactive and biocompatible properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp) promote the osseointegration process. HAp is widely used in biomedical applications, especially in orthopedics, as well as a coating material for metallic implants. We obtained composite coatings based on HAp, chitosan (CS), and FGF2 by a matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique. The coatings were physico-chemically investigated by means of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Infrared Microscopy (IRM), and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Further, biological investigations were performed. The MAPLE-composite coatings were tested in vitro on the MC3T3-E1 cell line in order to endorse cell attachment and growth without toxic effects and to promote pre-osteoblast differentiation towards the osteogenic lineage. These coatings can be considered suitable for bone tissue engineering applications that lack toxicity and promotes cell adhesion and proliferation while also sustaining the differentiation of pre-osteoblasts towards mature bone cells.

Abstract
The need for long-term treatments of chronic diseases has motivated the widespread development of long-acting parenteral formulations (LAPFs) with the aim of improving drug pharmacokinetics and therapeutic efficacy. LAPFs have been proven to extend the half-life of therapeutics, as well as to improve patient adherence; consequently, this enhances the outcome of therapy positively. Over past decades, considerable progress has been made in designing effective LAPFs in both preclinical and clinical settings. Here we review the latest advances of LAPFs in preclinical and clinical stages, focusing on the strategies and underlying mechanisms for achieving long acting. Existing strategies are classified into manipulation of in vivo clearance and manipulation of drug release from delivery systems, respectively. And the current challenges and prospects of each strategy are discussed. In addition, we also briefly discuss the design principles of LAPFs and provide future perspectives of the rational design of more effective LAPFs for their further clinical translation.

Abstract
Biocompatible polymers and drug-delivery scaffolds have driven development in bone regeneration. In this study, we fabricated a chitosan (CS)-coated polytrimethylene carbonate (PTMC)/polylactic acid (PLLA)/oleic acid-modified hydroxyapatite (OA-HA)/vancomycin hydrochloride (VH) microsphere scaffold for drug release with excellent biocompatibility. The incorporation of PLLA, OA-HA, and VH into PTMC microspheres not only slowed the biodegradability of the scaffold but also enhanced its mechanical properties and surface properties. Moreover, the CS coating stimulated extensive adhesion of osteoblasts before OA-HA incorporation, which facilitated the controlled release of OA-HA. The scaffolds were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, in vitro comprehensive performance testing, cell culturing, and microcomputer tomography scanning. The results indicated that the surface of the composite microsphere scaffold was suitable for osteoblast adhesion. Additionally, the release of OA-HA stimulated osteogenic proliferation. Our findings suggest that the CS-PTMC/PLLA/OA-HA/VH microsphere scaffold is promising for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Osteochondral defects remain a major clinical challenge mainly due to the
combined damage to the articular cartilage and the underlying bone, and the
interface between the two tissues having very different properties. Current
treatment modalities have several limitations and drawbacks, with limited
capacity of restoration; however, tissue engineering shows promise in improving
the clinical outcomes of osteochondral defects. In this study, a novel gradient
scaffold has been fabricated, implementing a gradient structure in the design to
mimic the anatomical, biological and physicochemical properties of bone and
cartilage as closely as possible. Compared with the commonly studied multi-layer
scaffolds, the gradient scaffold has the potential to induce a smooth transition
between cartilage and bone and avoid any instability at the interface, mimicking
the natural structure of the osteochondral tissue. The scaffold comprises a
collagen matrix with a gradient distribution of low-crystalline hydroxyapatite
particles. Physicochemical analyses confirmed phase and chemical compositions of
the gradient scaffold and the distribution of the mineral phase along the
gradient scaffold. Mechanical tests confirmed the gradient of stiffness
throughout the scaffold, according to its mineral content. The gradient scaffold
exhibited good biological performances both in vitro and in vivo. Biological
evaluation of the scaffold, in combination with human bone-marrow–derived
mesenchymal stem cells, demonstrated that the gradient of composition and
stiffness preferentially increased cell proliferation in different sub-regions
of the scaffold, according to their high chondrogenic or osteogenic
characteristics. The in vivo biocompatibility of the gradient scaffold was
confirmed by its subcutaneous implantation in rats. The gradient scaffold was
significantly colonised by host cells and minimal foreign body reaction was
observed. The scaffold’s favourable chemical, physical and biological properties
demonstrated that it has good potential as an engineered osteochondral analogue
for the regeneration of damaged tissue.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the effect of bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP-7)/poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres on in vitro proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Methods BMP-7/PLGA microspheres were fabricated by double emulsion-drying in liquid method. After mixing BMP-7/PLGA microspheres with the chondrogenic differentiation medium, the supernatant was collected on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 21st day as the releasing solution. The BMSCs were isolated from the bilateral femurs and tibias of 3-5 days old New Zealand rabbits, and the 3rd generation BMSCs were divided into 2 groups: microspheres group and control group. The BMSCs in microspheres group were cultured by 200 μL BMP-7/PLGA microspheres releasing solution in the process of changing liquid every 2-3 days, while in control group were cultured by chondrogenic medium. The cell proliferation (by MTT assay) and the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) contents (by Alician blue staining) were detected after chondrogenic cultured for 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. The chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs was observed by safranine O staining, toluidine blue staining, and collagen type Ⅱ immunohistochemistry staining at 21 days. Results MTT test showed that BMSCs proliferated rapidly in 2 groups at 1, 3, and 7 days; after 7 days, the proliferation of BMSCs in the control group was slow and the BMSCs in microspheres group continued to proliferate rapidly. There was no significant difference of the absorbance ( A) value at 1, 3, and 7 days between 2 groups ( P>0.05), but the A value at 14 and 21 days in microspheres group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). Compared with control group at 21 days, in microsphere group, almost all nuclei were dyed bright red by safranine O staining, almost all the nuclei appeared metachromatic purple red by toluidine blue staining, and the most nuclei were yellow or brown by immunohistochemical staining of collagen type Ⅱ. Alcian blue staining showed that the content of GAG in 2 groups increased continuously at different time points; after 7 days, the increasing trend of the control group was slow and the microspheres group continued hypersecretion. There was no significant difference of the GAG content at 1, 3, and 7 days between 2 groups ( P>0.05), but the GAG content at 14 and 21 days in microspheres group was significantly higher than that in control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion BMP-7/PLGA microspheres prepared by double emulsion-drying in liquid method in vitro can promote proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of rabbit BMSCs.

Abstract
Microspheres have long been used in drug delivery applications because of their controlled release capabilities. They have increasingly served as the fundamental building block for fabricating scaffolds for regenerative engineering because of their ability to provide a porous network, offer high-resolution control over spatial organization, and deliver growth factors/drugs and/or nanophase materials. Because they provide physicochemical gradients via spatiotemporal release of bioactive factors and nanophase ceramics, microspheres are a desirable tool for engineering complex tissues and biological interfaces. In this review we describe various methods for microsphere fabrication and sintering, and elucidate how these methods influence both micro- and macroscopic scaffold properties, with a special focus on the nature of sintering. Furthermore, we review key applications of microsphere-based scaffolds in regenerating various tissues. We hope to inspire researchers to join a growing community of investigators using microspheres as tissue engineering scaffolds so that their full potential in regenerative engineering may be realized.

Abstract
Articular cartilage (AC) is a seemingly simple tissue that has only one type of constituting cell and no blood vessels and nerves. In the early days of tissue engineering, cartilage appeared to be an easy and promising target for reconstruction and this was especially motivating because of widespread AC pathologies such as osteoarthritis and frequent sports-induced injuries. However, AC has proven to be anything but simple. Recreating the varying properties of its zonal structure is a challenge that has not yet been fully answered. This caused the shift in tissue engineering strategies toward bioinspired or biomimetic approaches that attempt to mimic and simulate as much as possible the structure and function of the native tissues. Hydrogels, particularly gradient hydrogels, have shown great potential as components of the biomimetic engineering of the cartilaginous tissue.

Abstract
As a promising strategy for the successful regeneration of articular cartilage, tissue engineering has received increasing recognition of control release. Two kinds of functional poly (alanine ethyl ester-co-glycine ethyl ester) phosphazene microspheres with different ratios of side-substituent groups were synthesized by emulsion technique. The rate of degradation/hydrolysis of the polymers was carefully tuned to suit the desired application for control release. For controlled delivery of growth factors, the microspheres overcame most of severe side effects linked to demineralized bone matrix (DBM) scaffolds, which had been previously optimized for cartilage regeneration. The application of scaffolds in chondrogenic differentiation was investigated by subcutaneous implantation in nude mice. In the present study, we have provided a novel microsphere-incorporating demineralized bone matrix (MS/DBM) scaffolds to release transforming growth factor-β1 or insulin-like growth factors-1. Laser confocal fluorescence staining showed that the surface of microspheres was a suitable environment for cell attachment. Histological and immunohistochemical evaluations have shown that significantly more cartilaginous extracellular matrix was detected in MS/DBM group when compared with DBM alone group (P<0.05). In addition, the biomechanical test showed that this composite scaffold exhibited favorable mechanical strength as a delivery platform. In conclusion, we demonstrated that MS/DBM scaffolds was sufficient to support stem bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells chondrogenesis and neo-cartilage formation.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis results in irreparable loss of articular cartilage. Due to its avascular nature and low mitotic activity, cartilage has little intrinsic capacity for repair. Cartilage loss leads to pain, physical disability, movement restriction, and morbidity. Various treatment strategies have been proposed for cartilage regeneration, but the optimum treatment is yet to be defined. Tissue engineering with engineered constructs aimed towards developing a suitable substrate may help in cartilage regeneration by providing the mechanical, biological and chemical support to the cells. The use of scaffold as a substrate to support the progenitor cells or autologous chondrocytes has given promising results. Leakage of cells, poor cell survival, poor cell differentiation, inadequate integration into the host tissue, incorrect distribution of cells, and dedifferentiation of the normal cartilage are the common problems in tissue engineering. Current research is focused on improving mechanical and biochemical properties of scaffold to make it more efficient. The aim of this review is to provide a critical discussion on existing challenges, scaffold type and properties, and an update on ongoing recent developments in the architecture and composition of scaffold to enhance the proliferation and viability of mesenchymal stem cells. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Bioceramic mixtures of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) are widely used for bone regeneration because of their excellent cytocompatibility, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction. Therefore, we hypothesized that incorporation of a mixture of TCP and HAp in microsphere-based scaffolds would enhance osteogenesis of rat bone marrow stromal cells (rBMSCs) compared to a positive control of scaffolds with encapsulated bone-morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2). Poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microsphere-based scaffolds encapsulating TCP and HAp mixtures in two different ratios (7:3 and 1:1) were fabricated with the same net ceramic content (30 wt%) to evaluate how incorporation of these ceramic mixtures would affect the osteogenesis in rBMSCs. Encapsulation of TCP/HAp mixtures impacted microsphere morphologies and the compressive moduli of the scaffolds. Additionally, TCP/HAp mixtures enhanced the end-point secretion of extracellular matrix components relevant to bone tissue compared to the "blank" (PLGA-only) microsphere-based scaffolds as evidenced by the biochemical, gene expression, histology, and immunohistochemical characterization. Moreover, the TCP/HAp mixture groups even surpassed the BMP-2 positive control group in some instances in terms of matrix synthesis and gene expression. Lastly, gene expression data suggested that the rBMSCs responded differently to different TCP/HAp ratios presented to them. Altogether, it can be concluded that TCP/HAp mixtures stimulated the differentiation of rBMSCs toward an osteoblastic phenotype, and therefore may be beneficial in gradient microsphere-based scaffolds for osteochondral regeneration.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) "raw materials" such as demineralized bone matrix (DBM) and cartilage matrix have emerged as leading scaffolding materials for osteochondral regeneration owing to their capacity to facilitate progenitor/resident cell recruitment, infiltration, and differentiation without adding growth factors. Scaffolds comprising synthetic polymers are sturdy yet generally lack cues for guiding cell differentiation. We hypothesized that opposing gradients of decellularized cartilage (DCC) and DBM in polymeric microsphere-based scaffolds would provide superior regeneration compared to polymer-only scaffolds in vivo. Poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microsphere-based scaffolds were fabricated, either with opposing gradients of DCC and DBM encapsulated (GRADIENT) or without DCC and DBM (BLANK control), and implanted into rabbit osteochondral defects in medial femoral condyles. After 12 weeks, gross morphological evaluation showed that the repair tissue in about 30% of the implants was either slightly or significantly depressed, hinting toward rapid polymer degradation in scaffolds from both of the groups. Additionally, no differences were observed in gross morphology of the repair tissue between the BLANK and GRADIENT groups. Mechanical testing revealed no significant differences in model parameter values between the two groups. Histological observations demonstrated that the repair tissue in both of the groups was fibrous in nature with the cells demonstrating notable proliferation and matrix deposition activity. No adverse inflammatory response was observed in any of the implants from the two groups. Overall, the results emphasize the need to improve the technology in terms of altering the DBM and DCC concentrations, and tailoring the polymer degradation to these concentrations.
