Abstract
This study deals with synthesizing hydroxyapatite-calcium sulfate bone cements or HAP-xCaS for bone repair. The effect of CaS on the setting time, injectability, washout resistance, phase evolution, water absorption, and physical, microstructural, and mechanical properties, as well as in vitro apatite-forming ability test and pH behavior of the HAP were investigated. Implantation of bone cement in rabbit femur and in vivo histological analysis were also analyzed. Initial and final setting times decrease with increasing CaS, which would be helpful for clinical procedures. All compositions have mixed phases of HAP, CaS, brushite, and gypsum. The prepared bone cement exhibited a dense structure and increased linear shrinkage with increasing CaS content. Adding more CaS inhibited grain growth and improved the mechanical properties, including compressive strength (σ c), bending strength (σ f), and Young's modulus (E). SEM micrographs displayed that the x = 0.7 or HAP-0.7CaS bone cement produced the highest ability to induce in vitro apatite formation, indicating its biocompatibility. In vivo histological analysis for the HAP-0.7CaS bone cement demonstrated that more new bone formed around defects and bone cement particles. Osteoblasts were found peripherally at the bone trabeculae, and occasional osteoblast-like cells were observed at the granules after 4-8 weeks of implantation. The obtained results indicated that the HAP-0.7CaS bone cement has the potential to exhibit good bioactivity, injectability, and good mechanical properties for bone repair applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue is a highly vascularized tissue. When constructing tissue-engineered bone models, both the osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of the construct should be carefully considered. However, fabricating a vascularized tissue-engineered bone to promote vascular formation and bone generation, while simultaneously establishing nutrition channels to facilitate nutrient exchange within the constructs, remains a significant challenge. Triaxial bioprinting, which not only allows the independent encapsulation of different cell types while simultaneously forming nutrient channels, could potentially emerge as a strategy for fabricating vascularized tissue-engineered bone. Moreover, bioinks should also be applied in combination to promote both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In this study, employing triaxial bioprinting, we used a blend bioink of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), sodium alginate (Alg), and different concentrations of nano beta-tricalcium phosphate (nano β-TCP) encapsulated MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts as the outer layer, a mixed bioink of GelMA and Alg loaded with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as the middle layer, and gelatin as a sacrificial material to form nutrient channels in the inner layer to fabricate vascularized bone constructs simulating the microenvironment for bone and vascular tissues. The results showed that the addition of nano β-TCP could adjust the mechanical, swelling, and degradation properties of the constructs. Biological assessments revealed the cell viability of constructs containing different concentrations of nano β-TCP was higher than 90% on day 7, The cell-laden constructs containing 3% (w/v) nano β-TCP exhibited better osteogenic (higher Alkaline phosphatase activity and larger Osteocalcin positive area) and angiogenic (the gradual increased CD31 positive area) potential. Therefore, using triaxial bioprinting technology and employing GelMA, Alg, and nano β-TCP as bioink components could fabricate vascularized bone tissue constructs, offering a novel strategy for vascularized bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) is promising for bone and dentin repair and regeneration. However, there has been no report of biphasic CPC for inducing dentin regeneration. The aim of this study was to develop a novel biphasic CPC containing β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and investigate its effects on odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) and macrophage polarization. New biphasic CPC was formulated with different ratios of β-TCP to an equimolar mixture of tetracalcium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate anhydrous. Mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and odontogenic differentiation induction ability of the cements and the inflammatory reaction to the cements were examined. A series of CPC containing β-TCP were developed. CPC with 20% β-TCP exhibited homogeneity and injectability, an acceptable setting time, and a twofold increase in compressive strength. Significant increases in hDPSCs' alkaline phosphatase activity, mineral deposit, DMP1 and DSPP gene, and protein expressions were obtained for 20% TCP-CPC, compared with traditional CPC (p < 0.01). The addition of β-TCP did not promote macrophage polarization to the proinflammation phenotype. The addition of 10% and 20% β-TCP promoted macrophage polarization to the anti-inflammatory phenotype. In conclusion, a biphasic β-TCP-modified CPC was developed for the first time, demonstrating substantially increased dentin regeneration capability, while promoting macrophages to an anti-inflammation phenotype. The novel biphasic CPC is promising for tooth tissue engineering and dentin regeneration applications.
