Abstract
Repair of bone defects exceeding a critical size has been always a big challenge in clinical practice. Tissue engineering has exhibited great potential to effectively repair the defects with less adverse effect than traditional bone grafts, during which how to induce vascularized bone formation has been recognized as a critical issue. Therefore, recently many studies have been launched to attempt to promote osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling. This review summarized comprehensively and explored in depth current efforts to ameliorate the coupling of osteogenesis and angiogenesis from four aspects, namely the optimization of scaffold components, modification of scaffold structures, loading strategies for bioactive substances, and employment tricks for appropriate cells. Especially, the advantages and the possible reasons for every strategy, as well as the challenges, were elaborated. Furthermore, some promising research directions were proposed based on an in-depth analysis of the current research. This paper will hopefully spark new ideas and approaches for more efficiently boosting new vascularized bone formations.

Abstract
We report a one-pot plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) strategy for forming a multi-element oxide layer on the titanium surface using complex electrolytes containing Na2HPO4, Ca(OH)2, (NH2)2CO, Na2SiO3, CuSO4, and KOH compounds. For even better bone implant ingrowth, PEO coatings were additionally loaded with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2). The samples were tested in vivo in a mouse craniotomy model. Tests for bactericidal and fungicidal activity were carried out using clinically isolated multi-drug-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) K261, E. coli U20, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) CSA154 bacterial strains, and Neurospora crassa (N. crassa) and Candida albicans (C. albicans) D2528/20 fungi. The PEO-Cu coating effectively inactivated both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria at low concentrations of Cu2+ ions: minimal bactericidal concentration for E. coli and N. crassa (99.9999%) and minimal inhibitory concentration (99.0%) for S. aureus were 5 ppm. For all studied bacterial and fungal strains, PEO-Cu coating completely prevented the formation of bacterial and fungal biofilms. PEO and PEO-Cu coatings demonstrated bone remodeling and moderate osteoconductivity in vivo, while BMP-2 significantly enhanced osteoconduction and osteogenesis. The obtained results are encouraging and indicate that Ti-based materials with PEO coatings loaded with BMP-2 can be widely used in customized medicine as implants for orthopedics and cranio-maxillofacial surgery.

Abstract
High efficiency of hybrid implants based on calcium-magnesium silicate ceramic, diopside, as a carrier of recombinant BMP-2 and xenogenic demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as a scaffold for bone tissue regeneration was demonstrated previously using the model of critical size cranial defects in mice. In order to investigate the possibility of using these implants for growing autologous bone tissue using in vivo bioreactor principle in the patient's own body, effectiveness of ectopic osteogenesis induced by them in intramuscular implantation in mice was studied. At the dose of 7 μg of BMP-2 per implant, dense agglomeration of cells, probably skeletal muscle satellite precursor cells, was observed one week after implantation with areas of intense chondrogenesis, initial stage of indirect osteogenesis, around the implants. After 12 weeks, a dense bone capsule of trabecular structure was formed covered with periosteum and mature bone marrow located in the spaces between the trabeculae. The capsule volume was about 8-10 times the volume of the original implant. There were practically no signs of inflammation and foreign body reaction. Microcomputed tomography data showed significant increase of the relative bone volume, number of trabeculae, and bone tissue density in the group of mice with BMP-2-containing implant in comparison with the group without BMP-2. Considering that DBM can be obtained in practically unlimited quantities with required size and shape, and that BMP-2 is obtained by synthesis in E. coli cells and is relatively inexpensive, further development of the in vivo bioreactor model based on the hybrid implants constructed from BMP-2, diopside, and xenogenic DBM seems promising.

Abstract
In this paper, we suggest a previously unknown template-directed polymerization strategy for producing graphene/polymer aerogels with elevated mechanical properties, preservation of the nanoscale pore structure, an extraordinary crystallite structure, as well as tunable electrical and hydrophobic properties. The suggested approach is studied using the reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) system as an example. We also develop a novel method of ethylene polymerization with formation of UHMWPE directly on the surface of rGO sheets prestructured as the aerogel template. At a UHMWPE content smaller than 20 wt %, composite materials demonstrate completely reversible deformation and good conductivity. An ultrahigh polymer content (more than 80 wt %) results in materials with pronounced plasticity, improved hydrophobic properties, and a Young's modulus that is more than 200 times larger than that of pure rGO aerogel. Variation of the polymer content makes it possible to tune the electro-conductive properties of the aerogel in the range from 4.8 × 10-6 to 4.9 × 10-1 S/m and adjust its hydrophobic properties. The developed approach would make it possible to create composite materials with highly developed nanostructural morphology and advanced properties controlled by the thickness of the polymer layer on the surface of graphene sheets.

Abstract
A novel biomimetic artificial intervertebral disc (bioAID) for the cervical spine was developed, containing a hydrogel core representing the nucleus pulposus, an UHMWPE fiber jacket as annulus fibrosis, and titanium endplates with pins for mechanical fixation. Osseointegration of the UHMWPE fibers to adjacent bone structures is required to achieve proper biomimetic behavior and to provide long-term stability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the osteoconductivity of several surface modifications of UHMWPE fabrics, 2D weft-knitted, using non-treated UHMWPE fibers (N), plasma treated UHMWPE fibers (PT), 10% hydroxy apatite (HA) loaded UHMWPE fibers (10%HA), plasma treated 10%HA UHMWPE fibers (PT-10%HA), 15%HA loaded UHMWPE fibers (15%HA) and plasma treated 15%HA UHMWPE fibers (PT-15%HA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for surface characterization. Biological effects were assessed by evaluating initial cell attachment (SEM, DNA content), metabolic activity (PrestoBlue assay), proliferation, differentiation (alkaline phosphatase activity) and mineralization (energy dispersive x-ray, EDX analysis) using human bone marrow stromal cells. Plasma treated samples showed increased initial cell attachment, indicating the importance of hydrophilicity for cell attachment. However, incorporation only of HA or plasma treatment alone was not sufficient to result in upregulated alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) activity. Combining HA loaded fibers with plasma treatment showed a combined effect, leading to increased cell attachment and upregulated ALP activity. Based on these results, combination of HA loaded UHMWPE fibers and plasma treatment provided the most promising fabric surface for facilitating bone ingrowth.

Abstract
Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) matrices containing low-density polyethylene (LDPE), hydroxyapatite (HAp) as filler, and rosemary extract (RM) as stabilizer were investigated for their qualification for long-term applications. The significant contributions of the blend components were analyzed, and variations in mechanical properties, oxidation strength, thermal behavior, crystallinity, and wettability were discussed. SEM images of microstructural peculiarities completed the introspective survey. The stability improvement due to the presence of both additives was an increase in the total degradation period of 67% in comparison with an unmodified HDPE/UHMWPE blend when the materials were subjected to a 50 kGy γ-dose. There was growth in activation energies from 121 kJ mol-1 to 139 kJ mol-1 when HAp and rosemary extract delayed oxidation. The exposure of samples to the action of γ-rays was found to be a proper procedure for accomplishing accelerated oxidative degradation. The presence of rosemary extract and HAp powder significantly increased the thermal and oxidation resistances. The calculation of material lifetimes at various temperatures provided meaningful information on the wearability and integrity of the inspected composites.

Abstract
Calcium-magnesium silicate ceramics, diopside, is a promising material for use in bone plastics, but until now the possibility of its use as a carrier of recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) has not been studied, as well as the features of reparative osteogenesis mediated by the materials based on diopside with BMP-2. Powder of calcium-magnesium silicate ceramics was obtained by solid-state synthesis using biowaste - rice husks and egg shells - as source components. Main phase of the obtained ceramics was diopside. The obtained particles were irregularly shaped with an average size of about 2.3 μm and ~20% porosity; average pore size was about 24 nm, which allowed the material to be classified as mesoporous. Diopside powder adsorbs more than 150 μg of recombinant BMP-2 per milligram, which exceeds binding capacity of hydroxyapatite, a calcium-phosphate ceramic often used in hybrid implants, by more than 3 times. In vitro release kinetics of BMP-2 was characterized by a burst release in the first 2 days and a sustained release of approximately 0.4 to 0.5% of the loaded protein over the following 7 days. In vivo experiments were performed with a mouse model of cranial defects of critical size with implantation of a suspension of diopside powder with/without BMP-2 in hyaluronic acid incorporated into the disks of demineralized bone matrix with 73-90% volume porosity and macropore size from 50 to 650 μm. Dynamics of neoosteogenesis and bone tissue remodeling was investigated histologically at the time points of 12, 21, 48, and 63 days. Diopside particles were evenly spread in the matrix and caused minimal foreign body reaction. In the presence of BMP-2 by the day 63 significant foci of newly formed bone tissue were formed in the implant pores with bone marrow areas, moreover, large areas of demineralized bone matrix in the implant center and maternal bone at the edges were involved in the remodeling. Diopside could be considered as a promising material for introduction into hybrid implants as an effective carrier of BMP-2.

Abstract
Cell culturing methods in its classical 2D approach have limitations associated with altered cell morphology, gene expression patterns, migration, cell cycle and proliferation. Moreover, high throughput drug screening is mainly performed on 2D cell cultures which are physiologically far from proper cell functions resulting in inadequate hit-compounds which subsequently fail. A shift to 3D culturing protocols could solve issues with altered cell biochemistry and signaling which would lead to a proper recapitulation of physiological conditions in test systems. Here, we examined porous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as an inexpensive and robust material with varying pore sizes for cell culturing. We tested and developed culturing protocols for immortalized human neuroblastoma and primary mice hippocampal cells which resulted in high rate of cell penetration within one week of cultivation. UHMWPE was additionally functionalized with gelatin, poly-L-lysine, BSA and chitosan, resulting in increased cell penetrations of the material. We have also successfully traced GFP-tagged cells which were grown on a UHMWPE sample after one week from implantation into mice brain. Our findings highlight the importance of UHMWPE use as a 3D matrix and show new possibilities arising from the use of cheap and chemically homogeneous material for studying various types of cell-surface interactions further improving cell adhesion, viability and biocompatibility.

Abstract
In recent years, tissue engineering has emerged as a promising approach to address limitations of organ transplantation. The ultimate goal of tissue engineering is to provide scaffolds that closely mimic the physicochemical and biological cues of native tissues' extracellular matrix. In this endeavor, new generation of scaffolds have been designed that utilize the incorporation of signaling molecules in order to improve cell recruitment, enhance angiogenesis, exert healing activities, and increase the engraftment of the scaffolds. Among different signaling molecules, the role of erythropoietin (EPO) in regenerative medicine is increasingly being appreciated. It is a biological macromolecule which can prevent programed cell death, modulate inflammation, induce cell proliferation, and provide tissue protection in different disease models. In this review, we have outlined and critically analyzed different techniques of scaffolds' modification with EPO or EPO-loaded nanoparticles. We have also explored different strategies for the incorporation of EPO into scaffolds. Non-hematopoietic functions of EPO have also been discussed. Finalizing with detailed discussion surrounding the applications, challenges, and future perspectives of EPO-modified scaffolds in regenerative medicine.

Surface Modification of Porous Polyethylene Implants with an Albumin-Based Nanocarrier-Release System. Biomedicines 2021; 9:1485. [PMID: 34680602 PMCID: PMC8533240 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines9101485] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 09/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Porous polyethylene (PPE) implants are used for the reconstruction of tissue defects but have a risk of rejection in case of insufficient ingrowth into the host tissue. Various growth factors can promote implant ingrowth, yet a long-term gradient is a prerequisite for the mediation of these effects. As modification of the implant surface with nanocarriers may facilitate a long-term gradient by sustained factor release, implants modified with crosslinked albumin nanocarriers were evaluated in vivo. METHODS Nanocarriers from murine serum albumin (MSA) were prepared by an inverse miniemulsion technique encapsulating either a low- or high-molar mass fluorescent cargo. PPE implants were subsequently coated with these nanocarriers. In control cohorts, the implant was coated with the homologue non-encapsulated cargo substance by dip coating. Implants were consequently analyzed in vivo using repetitive fluorescence microscopy utilizing the dorsal skinfold chamber in mice for ten days post implantation. RESULTS Implant-modification with MSA nanocarriers significantly prolonged the presence of the encapsulated small molecules while macromolecules were detectable during the investigated timeframe regardless of the form of application. CONCLUSIONS Surface modification of PPE implants with MSA nanocarriers results in the alternation of release kinetics especially when small molecular substances are used and therefore allows a prolonged factor release for the promotion of implant integration.

Abstract
It the present study the push-out mechanical test was adopted for mouse model of implantation in critical-size cranial defects to evaluate the effectiveness of implant-skull fusion. As implants, disks of porous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with hydroxylapatite (HA) with and without loading of recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) were used. Implantation results were evaluated using histology and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). In the case of both UHMWPE/HA and PEEK/HA, BMP-2 loading resulted in a significant increase in the amount of bone tissue in the implantation area, especially at the edges of the defect, and an increase in the value of BV/TV (bone volume/tissue volume) during micro-CT. There was a high correlation of BV/TV values with the maximum load and elastic modulus measured during the puch-out test. The maximum load values showed good convergence within the groups and are comparable to the maximum load values obtained by other authors in the rat model of implantation in critical-size cranial defects. An adapted push-out test can be used to evaluate the quality of osseointegration of the implanted materials.

Abstract
In this study, microvascular network structures for tissue engineering were generated on newly developed macroporous polydioxanone (PDO) scaffolds. PDO represents a polymer biodegradable within months and offers optimal material properties such as elasticity and nontoxic degradation products. PDO scaffolds prepared by porogen leaching and cryo-dried to achieve pore sizes of 326 ± 149.67 μm remained stable with equivalent values for Young's modulus after 4 weeks. Scaffolds were coated with fibrin for optimal cell adherence. To exclude interindividual differences, autologous fibrin was prepared out of human plasma-derived fibrinogen and proved a comparable quality to nonautologous commercially available fibrinogen. Fibrin-coated scaffolds were seeded with recombinant human umbilical vein endothelial cells expressing GFP (GFP-HUVECs) in coculture with adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-hMSCs) to form vascular networks. The growth factor content in culture media was optimized according its effect on network formation, quantified and assessed by AngioTool®. A ratio of 2:3 GFP-HUVECs/AD-hMSCs in medium enriched with 20 ng/mL vascular endothelial growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor, and hydrocortisone was found to be optimal. Network structures appeared after 2 days of cultivation and stabilized until day 7. The resulting networks were lumenized that could be verified by dextran staining. This new approach might be suitable for microvascular tissue patches as a useful template to be used in diverse vascularized tissue constructs.

Abstract
Bone is a regenerative organ characterized by self-renewal ability. Indeed, it is a very dynamic tissue subjected to continuous remodeling in order to preserve its structure and function. However, in clinical practice, impaired bone healing can be observed in patients and medical intervention is needed to regenerate the tissue via the use of natural bone grafts or synthetic bone grafts. The main elements required for tissue engineering include cells, growth factors and a scaffold material to support them. Three different materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) can be used to create a scaffold suitable for bone regeneration. Several cell types have been investigated in combination with biomaterials. In this review, we describe the options available for bone regeneration, focusing on tissue engineering strategies based on the use of different biomaterials combined with cells and growth factors.

Abstract
A hybrid implant with a structure mimicking that of natural bone was developed. Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V prepared with three-dimensional (3D)-printing technology was used to simulate the cortical-bone layer. The mismatch in the mechanical properties of bone and titanium alloy was solved by creating special perforations in the titanium's surface. Porous ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with high osteogenous properties was used to simulate the cancellous-bone tissue. A method for creating a porous UHMWPE structure inside the titanium reinforcement is proposed. The porous UHMWPE was studied with scanning electron microscope (SEM) to confirm that the pores that formed were open, interconnected, and between 50 and 850 μm in size. Mechanical-compression tests done on the obtained UHMWPE/titanium-hybrid-implant samples showed that their mechanical properties simulated those of natural bone.
