Abstract
Bioscaffolds, which promote cell regeneration and restore tissues' functions, have emerged as significant need in clinic. The hybrid of several biomaterials in a bioscaffold renders clinically advanced and relevant properties for applications yet add challenges in cost efficiency, production, and clinical investigation. This study proposes a facile and sustainable method to formulate a triple-hybrid bioscaffold based on Vietnamese cocoon origin Silk Fibroin, Chitosan, and nano-Biphasic Calcium Phosphates (nano-BCP) that can be easily molded, has high porosity (55-80%), and swelling capacity that facilitates cell proliferation and nutrient diffusion. Notably, their mechanical properties, in particular compressive strength, can easily be tuned in a range from 50 - 200 kPa by changing the amount of nano-BCP addition, which is comparable to the successful precedents for productive cell regeneration. The latter parts investigate the biopharmaceutical properties of a representative bioscaffold, including drug loading and release studies with two kinds of active compounds, salmon calcitonin and methylprednisolone. Furthermore, the bioscaffold is highly biocompatible as the results of hemocompatibility and hemostasis tests, as well as ovo chick chorioallantoic membrane investigation. The findings of the study suggest the triple-hybrid scaffold as a promising platform for multi-functional drug delivery and bone defect repair.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a multidisciplinary area that can solve the limitation of conventional grafting methods by developing viable and biocompatible bone replacements. The three essential components of BTE, i.e., Scaffold material and Cells and Growth factors altogether, facilitate support and guide for bone formation, differentiation of the bone tissues, and enhancement in the cellular activities and bone regeneration. However, there is a scarcity of the appropriate materials that can match the mechanical property as well as functional similarity to native tissue, considering the bone as hard tissue. In such scenarios, nanotechnology can be leveraged upon to achieve the desired aspects of BTE, and that is the key point of this review article. This review article examines the significant areas of nanotechnology research that have an impact on regeneration of bone: (a) scaffold with nanomaterials helps to enhance physicochemical interactions, biocompatibility, mechanical stability, and attachment; (b) nanoparticle-based approaches for delivering bioactive chemicals, growth factors, and genetic material. The article begins with the introduction of components and healing mechanisms of bone and the factors associated with them. The focus of this article is on the various nanotopographies that are now being used in scaffold formation, by describing how they are made, and how these nanotopographies affect the immune system and potential underlying mechanisms. The advantages of 4D bioprinting in BTE by using nanoink have also been mentioned. Additionally, we have investigated the importance of an in silico approach for finding the interaction between drugs and their related receptors, which can help to formulate suitable systems for delivery. This review emphasizes the role of nanoscale approach and how it helps to increase the efficacy of parameters of scaffold as well as drug delivery system for tissue engineering and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a pathological condition characterized by an accelerated bone resorption rate, resulting in decreased bone density and increased susceptibility to fractures, particularly among the elderly population. While conventional treatments for osteoporosis have shown efficacy, they are associated with certain limitations, including limited drug bioavailability, non-specific administration, and the occurrence of adverse effects. In recent years, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have emerged as a promising approach for managing osteoporosis. Nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical properties, such as a small size, large surface area-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface characteristics, which enable them to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. These nanoparticles offer several advantages, including enhanced drug stability, controlled release kinetics, targeted bone tissue delivery, and improved drug bioavailability. This comprehensive review aims to provide insights into the recent advancements in nanoparticle-based therapy for osteoporosis. It elucidates the various types of nanoparticles employed in this context, including silica, polymeric, solid lipid, and metallic nanoparticles, along with their specific processing techniques and inherent properties that render them suitable as potential drug carriers for osteoporosis treatment. Furthermore, this review discusses the challenges and future suggestions associated with the development and translation of nanoparticle drug delivery systems for clinical use. These challenges encompass issues such as scalability, safety assessment, and regulatory considerations. However, despite these challenges, the utilization of nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems holds immense promise in revolutionizing the field of osteoporosis management by enabling more effective and targeted therapies, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes.

Abstract
Conventional intake of drugs and active substances is most often based on oral intake of an appropriate dose to achieve the desired effect in the affected area or source of pain. In this case, controlling their distribution in the body is difficult, as the substance also reaches other tissues. This phenomenon results in the occurrence of side effects and the need to increase the concentration of the therapeutic substance to ensure it has the desired effect. The scientific field of tissue engineering proposes a solution to this problem, which creates the possibility of designing intelligent systems for delivering active substances precisely to the site of disease conversion. The following review discusses significant current research strategies as well as examples of polymeric and composite carriers for protein and non-protein biomolecules designed for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrophobic ion pairing and subsequent incorporation into self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SEDDS) is a promising strategy to orally deliver hydrophilic macromolecular drugs. Within this study, hydrophobic ion pairs (HIP) between salmon calcitonin (sCT) and highly lipophilic sulfosuccinate counterions were formed and compared to frequently applied commercially available counterions. Bis(isotridecyl) sulfosuccinate resulted in HIPs of the highest lipophilicity and in significantly higher solubility in lipophilic co-solvents. Thus, bis(isotridecyl) sulfosuccinate allowed efficient solubilization of sCT in a SEDDS preconcentrate based on a lipophilic co-solvent and an indigestible lipid, but omitting hydrophilic co-solvents. In addition to the increased solubility in the lipidic matrix, markedly reduced dissociation in biorelevant media resulted in high distribution coefficients between oil droplet and FaSSGF or FaSSIF (logD) of 2.98 ± 0.12 or 2.77 ± 0.14, respectively. The composition of the lipidic matrix preserved integrity of the oil droplets after emulsification and subsequent lipolysis, allowing to fully exploit the potential of the HIP attributed to the high logD. Oral administration of the HIP-loaded SEDDS resulted in an excellent relative pharmacological activity of 13.8 ± 5.6 % measured as hypocalcaemic effect in rats.

Abstract
Bone diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Paget's disease, and osteoporosis cause mortality and mobility limits. Nanomedicine and nano delivery systems have been utilised to deliver active drug moiety to the precisely targeted site in a controlled manner, and it serves as a means of diagnostic tools. The utilisation of nanomedicine is expanding vigorously for assured targeting and efficient drug delivery. Nanotechnology offers various advantages, such as site-specific targeting, precise drug release kinetics, and improved bone mineral density. Recent medications available for osteoporosis are not viable due to the adverse effects associated with them and low patient compliance. There is an urgent need to develop biocompatible and appropriate drug delivery nanocarriers such as nanoparticles, liposomes, hydrogels, dendrimers, micelles, mesoporous particles, etc. These carriers enhance drug delivery and therapeutic effectiveness in bone tissues. The use of nanotechnology is also associated with toxicity. This article presents the review of various reports on nanocarrier systems and biologics for the treatment of osteoporosis. It aims to provide researchers with a clue for inventing a new drug delivery system with site-specific targeting for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glucocorticoids (GCs) overuse is associated with decreased bone mass and osseous vasculature destruction, leading to severe osteoporosis. Platelet lysates (PL) as a pool of growth factors (GFs) were widely used in local bone repair by its potent pro-regeneration and pro-angiogenesis. However, it is still seldom applied for treating systemic osteopathia due to the lack of a suitable delivery strategy. The non-targeted distribution of GFs might cause tumorigenesis in other organs. RESULTS In this study, PL-derived exosomes (PL-exo) were isolated to enrich the platelet-derived GFs, followed by conjugating with alendronate (ALN) grafted PEGylated phospholipid (DSPE-PEG-ALN) to establish a bone-targeting PL-exo (PL-exo-ALN). The in vitro hydroxyapatite binding affinity and in vivo bone targeting aggregation of PL-exo were significantly enhanced after ALN modification. Besides directly modulating the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), respectively, PL-exo-ALN also facilitate their coupling under GCs' stimulation. Additionally, intravenous injection of PL-exo-ALN could successfully rescue GCs induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in vivo. CONCLUSIONS PL-exo-ALN may be utilized as a novel nanoplatform for precise infusion of GFs to bone sites and exerts promising therapeutic potential for GIOP.

Abstract
Bone is a connective tissue that support the entire body and protect the internal organs. However, there are great challenges on curing intractable skeletal diseases such as hypercalcemia, osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. To address these issues, calcitonin (CT) therapy is an effective treatment alternative to regulate calcium metabolism and suppress inflammation response, which are closely related to skeletal diseases. Traditional calcitonin formulation requires frequent administration due to the low bioavailability resulting from the short half-life and abundant calcitonin receptors distributed through the whole body. Therefore, long-term and targeted calcitonin delivery systems (LCDS and TCDS) have been widely explored as the popular strategies to overcome the intrinsic limitations of calcitonin and improve the functions of calcium management and inflammation inhibition in recent years. In this review, we first explain the physiological effects of calcitonin on bone remodeling: (i) inhibitory effects on osteoclasts and (ii) facilitated effects on osteoblasts. Then we summarized four strategies for spatiotemporally controlled delivery of calcitonin: micro-/nanomedicine (e.g. inorganic micro-/nanomedicine, polymeric micro-/nanomedicine and supramolecular assemblies), hydrogels (especially thermosensitive hydrogels), prodrug (PEGylation and targeting design) and hybrid biomaterials. Subsequently, we discussed the application of LCDS and TCDS in treating hypercalcemia, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Understanding and analyzing these advanced calcitonin delivery applications are essential for future development of calcitonin therapies toward skeletal diseases with superior efficacy in clinic.

Abstract
Surface modification of three-dimensional (3D)-printed titanium (Ti) scaffolds with hydroxyapatite (HA) has been a research hotspot in biomedical engineering. However, unlike HA coatings on a plain surface, 3D-printed Ti scaffolds have inherent porous structures that influence the characteristics of HA coatings and osteointegration. In the present study, HA coatings were successfully fabricated on 3D-printed Ti scaffolds using plasma spray and electrochemical deposition, named plasma sprayed HA (PSHA) and electrochemically deposited HA (EDHA), respectively. Compared to EDHA scaffolds, HA coatings on PSHA scaffolds were smooth and continuous. In vitro cell studies confirmed that PSHA scaffolds have better potential to promote bone mesenchymal stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation than EDHA scaffolds in the early and late stages. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that PSHA scaffolds were endowed with superior bone repair capacity. Although the EDHA technology is simpler and more controllable, its limitation due to the crystalline and HA structures needs to be improved in the future. Thus, we believe that plasma spray is a better choice for fabricating HA coatings on implanted scaffolds, which may become a promising method for treating bone defects.

Abstract
Osteoporosis therapy consists of inhibiting the osteoclasts' activity and promoting osteoblasts' osteogenesis. Salmon calcitonin (sCT) could realize both requirements, however, it is limited by the low bioavailability caused by fibrillation. Supramolecular assembly of sCT and biocompatible agents into nanoassemblies provides an opportunity to overcome these shortcomings. Herein, we used a facile method to fabricate salmon calcitonin-aspartame (sCT-APM) nanoassemblies. Supramolecular interactions could not only delay fibrillation time (from 36.9 h to 50.4 h), but also achieve sustained sCT release. Moreover, sCT-APM showed good biocompatibility and higher osteoinductive capacity than free sCT, revealing an osteogenesis improvement effect. Moreover, in vivo studies showed that sCT-APM has enhanced relative bioavailability (2.42-fold of sCT) and increased relative therapeutic efficacy (3.55-fold of sCT) through subcutaneous injection. These findings provide a convenient alternative strategy for osteoporosis therapy via supramolecular assemblies.

Abstract
Direct medications of salmon calcitonin (sCT) through subcutaneous or intramuscular injection are limited for its low effeciency. Drug delivery systems with sustained delivery property and high bioactivity are imminently needed. In consideration of the clinic application, a cost-effective and effective carrier is demanded, which is still a challenge until now. In this study, a simple alginate/ alginate sulfate-sCT (Alg/AlgS-sCT) complex was succesfully constructed for sustained release of sCT. The negtively charged sulphate groups facilitate the bonding with sCT, which avoids the burst release of sCT and extends the release time up to 15 days (only 2 days for pure sCT). More importantly, the bioactivity of the released sCT is not affected during such long release time, suggesting a conformation similar to native sCT. In vitro analysis implies the biocompatibility of the complex. Moreover, the combination of AlgS and sCT synergistically impoved the osteogenic ability of MC3T3 cells, showing higher ALP level, intracellular and extracellular calcium ions concentrations. Note that the concentration of intracellular calcium ions displays 5.26 fold increments of control group after 10 days of incubation. We envision this simple yet effective system has potential applications in clinical trails and give inspiration for the design of other protein delivery system.

Abstract
The common pathological characteristic of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia is the disorder of calcium homeostasis. Currently, salmon calcitonin (sCT), a clinical regenerative medicine, is an attractive chioice to regulate calcium metabolism for alleviation of osteoporosis and hypercalcemia. Unfortunately, serum sCT is quickly cleared in vivo, leading to its short half-life. Here, we designed a versatile hydrogel, based on salmon calcitonin-oxidized calcium alginate (sCT-OCA) conjugate and hydroxypropyl chitin (HPCH). The release profile showed that sCT could be released from HPCH hydrogels loaded with sCT-OCA conjugate (sCT-OCA-HPCH) for at least 28 days with conformation stability. The cellular test demonstrated that the biocompatible sCT-OCA-HPCH, compared with sCT formulation, had capacity in up-regulating alkaline phosphatase activity (∼63% increase) and promoting calcium to deposit into extracellular matrix (∼42% increase). These results indicated that thermosensitive sCT-OCA-HPCH hydrogel herein is a versatile platform for many applications such as calcium metabolism regulation, osteoporosis treatment, and hypercalcemia therapy.

Abstract
Bone diseases, such as bone cancer, bone infection and osteoporosis, constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of their progressive ageing. Even though these pathologies can be currently treated in the clinic, some of those treatments present drawbacks that may lead to severe complications. For instance, chemotherapy lacks great tumor tissue selectivity, affecting healthy and diseased tissues. In addition, the inappropriate use of antimicrobials is leading to the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria and persistent biofilms, rendering current antibiotics useless. Furthermore, current antiosteoporotic treatments present many side effects as a consequence of their poor bioavailability and the need to use higher doses. In view of the existing evidence, the encapsulation and selective delivery to the diseased tissues of the different therapeutic compounds seem highly convenient. In this sense, silica-based mesoporous nanoparticles offer great loading capacity within their pores, the possibility of modifying the surface to target the particles to the malignant areas and great biocompatibility. This manuscript is intended to be a comprehensive review of the available literature on complex bone diseases treated with silica-based mesoporous nanoparticles-the further development of which and eventual translation into the clinic could bring significant benefits for our future society.
