Abstract
Multifunctional materials that combine antimicrobial properties with the ability to stimulate bone formation are needed to overcome the problem of infected bone defects. As a novel approach, a new composite based on bioactive glass nanoparticles in a simple system of SiO2-CaO (BG) coated with NH4[Cu3(μ3-OH)(μ3-4-carboxypyrazolato)3] (Cu-MOF) with additionally anchored silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was proposed. Ag@Cu-MOF@BG obtained by the spin coating approach in the form of a disc was characterized using PXRD, ATR-FTIR, XPS, ICP-OES, and TEM. Importantly, the material retained its bioactivity, although ion exchange in the bioactive glass administered as a disc is limited. Hydroxyapatite (HA) formation was identified in TEM images after 7 days of immersion of the composite in a physiological-like buffer (pH 7.4, 37 °C). The Cu and Ag contents of Ag@Cu-MOF@BG were as low as 0.013 and 0.018 wt% respectively, but the slow release of the AgNPs ensured its antibacterial nature. Ag@Cu-MOF@BG exhibited antibacterial activity against all tested bacteria (E. coli, S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae) with the diameter of the inhibition zones of their growth between 8 and 10 mm and the reduction index determined to be ≥3. Moreover, the biocompatibility of the new composite has been demonstrated, as shown by cell culture assays with human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). The results from the migration test also proved that the HDF cell's phenotypic properties were not changed, and the cell adhesion and migration ability were the same as in control indirect assays.

Abstract
Current limitations in mechanical performance and foreign body reactions (FBR) often lead to implant failure, restricting the application of bioceramic scaffolds. This study presents a novel 3D-printed scaffold that combines the release of anti-inflammatory drugs with osteogenic stimulation. Initially, the inorganic and organic phases were integrated to ensure the scaffold's mechanical integrity through catechol chemistry and the electrostatic interactions between tannic acid and quaternary ammonium chitosan. Subsequently, layers of polydopamine-encapsulated puerarin-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) were self-assembled onto the stent's surface, creating the drug-loaded scaffold that improved drug release without altering the scaffold's structure. Compared with unloaded scaffolds, the puerarin-loaded scaffold demonstrated excellent osteogenic differentiation properties along with superior anti-inflammatory and osteogenic effects in a range of in vitro and in vivo studies. RNA sequencing clarified the role of the TNF and NF/κB signaling pathways in these effects, further supporting the scaffold's osteogenic potential. This study introduces a novel approach for creating drug-loaded scaffolds, providing a unique method for treating cancellous bone defects.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a common complication in bone defect surgery, in which infection by clinically resistant bacteria has been a challenge for the medical community. Given this emerging problem, the discovery of novel natural-type inhibitors of drug-resistant bacteria has become imperative. Brucine, present in the traditional Chinese herb Strychnine semen, is reported to exert analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Brucine's clinical application was limited because of its water solubility. We extracted high-purity BS by employing reflux extraction and crystallization, greatly improved its solubility, and evaluated its antimicrobial activity against E. coli and S. aureus. Importantly, we found that BS inhibited the drug-resistant strains significantly better than standard strains and achieved sterilization by disrupting the bacterial cell wall. Considering the safety concerns associated with the narrow therapeutic window of BS, a 3D BS-PLLA/PGA bone scaffold system was constructed with SLS technology and tested for its performance, bacteriostatic behaviors, and biocompatibility. The results have shown that the drug-loaded bone scaffolds had not only long-term, slow-controlled release with good cytocompatibility but also demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity in antimicrobial testing. The above results indicated that BS may be a potential drug candidate for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections and that scaffolds with enhanced antibacterial activity and mechanical properties may have potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a devastating disease caused by microbial infection in deep bone tissue. Its high recurrence rate and impaired restoration of bone deficiencies are major challenges in treatment. Microbes have evolved numerous mechanisms to effectively evade host intrinsic and adaptive immune attacks to persistently localize in the host, such as drug-resistant bacteria, biofilms, persister cells, intracellular bacteria, and small colony variants (SCVs). Moreover, microbial-mediated dysregulation of the bone immune microenvironment impedes the bone regeneration process, leading to impaired bone defect repair. Despite advances in surgical strategies and drug applications for the treatment of bone infections within the last decade, challenges remain in clinical management. The development and application of tissue engineering materials have provided new strategies for the treatment of bone infections, but a comprehensive review of their research progress is lacking. This review discusses the critical pathogenic mechanisms of microbes in the skeletal system and their immunomodulatory effects on bone regeneration, and highlights the prospects and challenges for the application of tissue engineering technologies in the treatment of bone infections. It will inform the development and translation of antimicrobial and bone repair tissue engineering materials for the management of bone infections.

Abstract
Promoting angiogenesis following biomaterial implantation is essential to bone tissue regeneration. Herein, the composite scaffolds composed of zein, whitlockite (WH), and levofloxacin (LEVO) were fabricated to augment bone repair by facilitating osteogenesis and angiogenesis. First, three-dimensional composite scaffolds containing zein and WH were prepared using the salt-leaching method. Then, as a model antibiotic drug, the LEVO was loaded into zein/WH scaffolds. Moreover, the addition of WH enhanced the adhesion, differentiation, and mineralization of osteoblasts. The zein/WH/LEVO composite scaffolds not only had significant osteoinductivity but also showed excellent antibacterial properties. The prepared composite scaffolds were then implanted into a calvarial defect model to evaluate their osteogenic induction effects in vivo. Micro-CT observation and histological analysis indicate that the scaffolds can accelerate bone regeneration with the contribution of endogenous cytokines. Based on amounts of data in vitro and in vivo, the scaffolds present profound effects on improving bone regeneration, especially for the favorable osteogenic, intensive angiogenic, and alleviated inflammation abilities. The results showed that the synthesized scaffolds could be a potential material for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
With the graying of the world's population, the morbidity of age-related chronic degenerative bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, is increasing yearly, leading to an increased risk of bone defects, while current treatment methods face many problems, such as shortage of grafts and an incomplete repair. Therefore, bone tissue engineering offers an alternative solution for regenerating and repairing bone tissues by constructing bioactive scaffolds with porous structures that provide mechanical support to damaged bone tissue while promoting angiogenesis and cell adhesion, proliferation, and activity. 3D printing technology has become the primary scaffold manufacturing method due to its ability to precisely control the internal pore structure and complex spatial shape of bone scaffolds. In contrast, the fast development of nanotechnology has provided more possibilities for the internal structure and biological function of scaffolds. This review focuses on the application of 3D printing technology in bone tissue engineering and nanotechnology in the field of bone tissue regeneration and repair, and explores the prospects for the integration of the two technologies.

Abstract
With the rapid development of materials science and tissue engineering, a variety of biomaterials have been used to construct tissue engineering scaffolds. Due to the performance limitations of single materials, functional composite biomaterials have attracted great attention as tools to improve the effectiveness of biological scaffolds for tissue repair. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have shown great promise for application in tissue engineering because of their high specific surface area, high porosity, high biocompatibility, appropriate environmental sensitivities and other advantages. This review introduces methods for the construction of MOFs-based functional composite scaffolds and describes the specific functions and mechanisms of MOFs in repairing damaged tissue. The latest MOFs-based functional composites and their applications in different tissues are discussed. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of using MOFs-based composites in tissue engineering are summarized. The aim of this review is to show the great potential of MOFs-based functional composite materials in the field of tissue engineering and to stimulate further innovation in this promising area.

Abstract
Bone defects have become a major cause of disability and death. To overcome the limitations of natural bone implants, including donor shortages and immune rejection risks, bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds have emerged as a promising therapy for bone defects. Despite possessing good biocompatibility, these metal, ceramic and polymer-based scaffolds are still challenged by the harsh conditions in bone defect sites. ROS accumulation, bacterial infection, excessive inflammation, compromised blood supply deficiency and tumor recurrence negatively impact bone tissue cells (BTCs) and hinder the osteointegration of BTE scaffolds. Phenolic compounds, derived from plants and fruits, have gained growing application in treating inflammatory, infectious and aging-related diseases due to their antioxidant ability conferred by phenolic hydroxyl groups. The prevalent interactions between phenols and functional groups also facilitate their utilization in fabricating scaffolds. Consequently, phenols are increasingly incorporated into BTE scaffolds to boost therapeutic efficacy in bone defect. This review demonstrated the effects of phenols on BTCs and bone defect microenvironment, summarized the intrinsic mechanisms, presented the advances in phenol-modified BTE scaffolds and analyzed their potential risks in practical applications. Overall, phenol-modified BTE scaffolds hold great potential for repairing bone defects, offering novel patterns for BTE scaffold construction and advancing traumatological medicine.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects is a difficult problem in orthopedics. The excessive destruction of local bone tissue at defect sites destroys blood supply and renders bone regeneration insufficient, which further leads to delayed union or even nonunion. To solve this problem, in this study, we incorporated icariin into alginate/mineralized collagen (AMC) hydrogel and then placed the drug-loaded hydrogel into the pores of a 3D-printed porous titanium alloy (AMCI/PTi) scaffold to prepare a bioactive scaffold with the dual functions of promoting angiogenesis and bone regeneration. The experimental results showed that the ACMI/PTi scaffold had suitable mechanical properties, sustained drug release function, and excellent biocompatibility. The released icariin and mineralized collagen (MC) synergistically promoted angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation in vitro. After implantation into a rabbit radius defect, the composite scaffold showed a satisfactory effect in promoting bone repair. Therefore, this composite dual-functional scaffold could meet the requirements of bone defect treatment and provide a promising strategy for the repair of large segmental bone defects in clinic.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most bone defects caused by bone disease or trauma are accompanied by infection, and there is a high risk of infection spread and defect expansion. Traditional clinical treatment plans often fail due to issues like antibiotic resistance and non-union of bones. Therefore, the treatment of infected bone defects requires a strategy that simultaneously achieves high antibacterial efficiency and promotes bone regeneration. RESULTS In this study, an ultrasound responsive vanadium tetrasulfide-loaded MXene (VSM) Schottky junction is constructed for rapid methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clearance and bone regeneration. Due to the peroxidase (POD)-like activity of VS4 and the abundant Schottky junctions, VSM has high electron-hole separation efficiency and a decreased band gap, exhibiting a strong chemodynamic and sonodynamic antibacterial efficiency of 94.03%. Under the stimulation of medical dose ultrasound, the steady release of vanadium element promotes the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). The in vivo application of VSM in infected tibial plateau bone defects of rats also has a great therapeutic effect, eliminating MRSA infection, then inhibiting inflammation and improving bone regeneration. CONCLUSION The present work successfully develops an ultrasound responsive VS4-based versatile sonosensitizer for robust effective antibacterial and osteogenic therapy of infected bone defects.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which include a range of pathologies affecting bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, account for a significant portion of the global burden of disease. While pharmaceutical and surgical interventions represent conventional approaches for treating MSDs, their efficacy is constrained and frequently accompanied by adverse reactions. Considering the rising incidence of MSDs, there is an urgent demand for effective treatment modalities to alter the current landscape. Phototherapy, as a controllable and non-invasive technique, has been shown to directly regulate bone, cartilage, and muscle regeneration by modulating cellular behavior. Moreover, phototherapy presents controlled ablation of tumor cells, bacteria, and aberrantly activated inflammatory cells, demonstrating therapeutic potential in conditions such as bone tumors, bone infection, and arthritis. By constructing light-responsive nanosystems, controlled drug delivery can be achieved to enable precise treatment of MSDs. Notably, various phototherapy nanoplatforms with integrated imaging capabilities have been utilized for early diagnosis, guided therapy, and prognostic assessment of MSDs, further improving the management of these disorders. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies and recent advances in the application of phototherapy for the treatment of MSDs, discusses the challenges and prospects of phototherapy, and aims to promote further research and application of phototherapy techniques.

Abstract
The healing of infected bone defects (IBD) is a complex physiological process involving a series of spatially and temporally overlapping events, including pathogen clearance, immunological modulation, vascularization, and osteogenesis. Based on the theory that bone healing is regulated by both biochemical and biophysical signals, in this study, a copper doped bioglass (CuBGs)/methacryloyl-modified gelatin nanoparticle (MA-GNPs)/methacrylated silk fibroin (SilMA) hybrid hydrogel is developed to promote IBD healing. This hybrid hydrogel demonstrates a dual-photocrosslinked interpenetrating network mechanism, wherein the photocrosslinked SilMA as the main network ensures structural integrity, and the photocrosslinked MA-GNPs colloidal network increases strength and dissipates loading forces. In an IBD model, the hydrogel exhibits excellent biophysical characteristics, such as adhesion, adaptation to irregular defect shapes, and in situ physical reinforcement. At the same time, by sequentially releasing bioactive ions such as Cu2+ , Ca2+ , and Si2+ ions from CuBGs on demand, the hydrogel spatiotemporally coordinates antibacterial, immunomodulatory and bone remodeling events, efficiently removing infection and accelerating bone repair without the use of antibiotics or exogenous recombinant proteins. Therefore, the hybrid hydrogel can be used as a simple and effective method for the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
The decellularized bone matrix (DCB) provides a promising bone substitute for the treatment of bone defects because of its similar biochemical, biophysical, and mechanical properties to normal bone tissue. However, the decellularized procedure also greatly reduced its osteogenic induction activity. In this study, peptides derived from the knuckle epitope of bone morphogenetic protein-2 were incorporated into the thermo-sensitive hydrogel poloxamer 407, and the peptide-loaded hydrogel was then filled into the pores of DCB to construct a functionalized scaffold with enhanced osteogenesis. In vitro studies have shown that the functionalized DCB scaffold possessed appropriate mechanical properties and biocompatibility and exhibited a sustained release profile of osteogenic peptide. These performances critically facilitated cell proliferation and cell spreading of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and upregulated the expression of osteogenic-related genes by activating the Smad/Runx2 signaling pathway, thereby promoting osteogenic differentiation and extracellular matrix mineralization. Further in vivo studies demonstrated that the functionalized DCB scaffold accelerated the repair of critical radial defects in rabbits without inducing excessive graft-related inflammatory responses. These results suggest a clinically meaningful strategy for the treatment of large segmental bone defects, and the prepared osteogenic peptide modified composite DCB scaffold has great application potential for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The clinical treatment of infectious bone defects is difficult and time-consuming due to the coexistence of infection and bone defects, and the simultaneous control of infection and repair of bone defects is considered a promising therapy. In this study, a dual-drug delivery scaffold system was fabricated by the combination of a three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffold with hydrogel for infected bone defects repair. The 3D printed polycaprolactone scaffold was incorporated with biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles containing the small molecular drug fingolimod (FTY720) to provide structural support and promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis. The vancomycin (Van)-loaded hydrogel was prepared from aldehyde hyaluronic acid (AHA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC) by the Schiff base reaction, which can fill the pores of the 3D-printed scaffold to produce a bifunctional composite scaffold. The in vitro results demonstrated that the composite scaffold had Van concentration-dependent antimicrobial properties. Furthermore, the FTY720-loaded composite scaffold demonstrated excellent biocompatibility, vascularization, and osteogenic ability in vitro. In the rat femoral defect model with bacterial infection, the dual-drug composite scaffold showed a better outcome in both infection control and bone regeneration compared to other groups. Therefore, the prepared bifunctional composite scaffold has potential application in the treatment of infected bone defects.

Abstract
Infectious bone defects present a major challenge in the clinical setting currently. In order to address this issue, it is imperative to explore the development of bone tissue engineering scaffolds that are equipped with both antibacterial and bone regenerative capabilities. In this study, we fabricated antibacterial scaffolds using a silver nanoparticle/poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (AgNP/PLGA) material via a direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing technique. The scaffolds' microstructure, mechanical properties, and biological attributes were rigorously assessed to determine their fitness for repairing bone defects. The surface pores of the AgNPs/PLGA scaffolds were uniform, and the AgNPs were evenly distributed within the scaffolds, as confirmed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Tensile testing confirmed that the addition of AgNPs enhanced the mechanical strength of the scaffolds. The release curves of the silver ions confirmed that the AgNPs/PLGA scaffolds released them continuously after an initial burst. The growth of hydroxyapatite (HAP) was characterized via SEM and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that HAP was deposited on the scaffolds, and also confirmed that the scaffolds had mixed with the AgNPs. All scaffolds containing AgNPs exhibited antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli). A cytotoxicity assay using mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) showed that the scaffolds had excellent biocompatibility and could be used for repairing bone tissue. The study shows that the AgNPs/PLGA scaffolds have exceptional mechanical properties and biocompatibility, effectively inhibiting the growth of S. aureus and E. coli. These results demonstrate the potential application of 3D-printed AgNPs/PLGA scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Although some progress has been made in the treatment of cancer, challenges remain. In recent years, advancements in nanotechnology and stem cell therapy have provided new approaches for use in regenerative medicine and cancer treatment. Among them, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted widespread attention in the field of regenerative medicine and cancer; this is because they have high levels of safety and low levels of invasibility, promote stem cell differentiation, and affect biological nerve signals. In contrast to pure magnetic stimulation, magnetic nanomaterials can act as amplifiers of an applied electromagnetic field in vivo, and by generating different effects (thermal, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, etc.), the corresponding ion channels are activated, thus enabling the modulation of neuronal activity with higher levels of precision and local modulation.

Abstract
Background Successful treatment of infectious bone defect remains a major challenge in the orthopaedic field. At present, the conventional treatment for infectious bone defects is surgical debridement and long-term systemic antibiotic use. It is necessary to develop a new strategy to achieve effective bone regeneration and local anti-infection for infectious bone defects. Methods Firstly, vancomycin / poly (lactic acid-glycolic acid) sustained release microspheres (VAN/PLGA-MS) were prepared. Then, through the dual-nozzle 3D printing technology, VAN/PLGA-MS was uniformly loaded into the pores of nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) and polylactic acid (PLA) scaffolds printed in a certain proportion, and a composite scaffold (VAN/MS-PLA/n-HA) was designed, which can not only promote bone repair but also resist local infection. Finally, the performance of the composite scaffold was evaluated by in vivo and in vitro biological evaluation. Results The in vitro release test of microspheres showed that the release of VAN/PLGA-MS was relatively stable from the second day, and the average daily release concentration was about 15.75 μg/mL, which was higher than the minimum concentration specified in the guidelines. The bacteriostatic test in vitro showed that VAN/PLGA-MS had obvious inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC-29213. Biological evaluation of VAN/MS-PLA/n-HA scaffolds in vitro showed that it can promote the proliferation of adipose stem cells. In vivo biological evaluation showed that VAN/MS-PLA/n-HA scaffold could significantly promote bone regeneration. Conclusion Our research shows that VAN/MS-PLA/n-HA scaffolds have satisfying biomechanical properties, effectively inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, with good biocompatibility, and effectiveness on repairing bone defects. The VAN/MS-PLA/n-HA scaffold provide the clinic with an application prospect in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Infected bone defects (IBDs) cause significant economic and psychological burdens, posing a huge challenge to clinical orthopedic surgeons. Traditional approaches for managing IBDs possess inevitable shortcomings; therefore, it is necessary to develop new functionalized scaffolds. Tantalum (Ta) has been widely used in load-bearing orthopedic implants due to its good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance. However, undecorated Ta could only structurally repair common bone defects, which failed to meet the clinical needs of bacteriostasis for IBDs. Researchers have made great efforts to functionalize Ta scaffolds to enhance their antibacterial activity through various methods, including surface coating, alloying, and micro- and nanostructure modifications. Additionally, several studies have successfully utilized Ta to modify orthopedic scaffolds for enhanced antibacterial function. These studies remarkably extended the application range of Ta. Therefore, this review systematically outlines the advances in the fundamental and clinical application of Ta in the treatment of IBDs, focusing on the antibacterial properties of Ta, its functionalization for bacteriostasis, and its applications in the modification of orthopedic scaffolds. This study provides researchers with an overview of the application of Ta in the treatment of IBDs.

Abstract
The treatment of bone defects is an important problem in clinical practice. The rapid development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) may provide a new method for bone defect treatment. Metal ions have been widely studied in BTE and demonstrated a significant effect in promoting bone tissue growth. Different metal ions can be used to treat bone defects according to specific conditions, including promoting osteogenic activity, inhibiting osteoclast activity, promoting vascular growth, and exerting certain antibacterial effects. Multiple studies have confirmed that metal ions-modified composite scaffolds can effectively promote bone defect healing. By studying current extensive research on metal ions in the treatment of bone defects, this paper reviews the mechanism of metal ions in promoting bone tissue growth, analyzes the loading mode of metal ions, and lists some specific applications of metal ions in different types of bone defects. Finally, this paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of metal ions and analyzes the future research trend of metal ions in BTE. This article can provide some new strategies and methods for future research and applications of metal ions in the treatment of bone defects.
