Abstract
Carbon nanotubes and graphene are two types of nanomaterials that have unique properties and potential applications in various fields, including biomedicine, energy storage, and gas sensing. However, there is still a debate about the safety of these materials, and there is yet to be a complete consensus on their potential risks to human health and the environment. While some studies have provided recommendations for occupational exposure limits, more research is needed to fully understand the potential risks of these materials to human health and the environment. In this review, we will try to summarize the advantages and disadvantages of using carbon nanotubes and graphene as well as composites containing them in the context of their biocompatibility and toxicity to living systems. In addition, we overview current policy guidelines and technical regulations regarding the safety of carbon-based nanomaterials.

Abstract
As bone and joint injuries from various causes become increasingly prominent, how to effectively reconstruct and repair bone defects presents a difficult problem for clinicians and researchers. In recent years, graphene and its derivatives have been the subject of growing body of research and have been found to promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. This provides a new idea for solving the clinical problem of bone defects. However, as as numerous articles address various aspects and have not been fully systematized, there is an urgent need to classify and summarize them. In this paper, for the first time, the effects of graphene and its derivatives on stem cells in solution, in 2D and 3D structures and in vivo and their possible mechanisms are reviewed, and the cytotoxic effects of graphene and its derivatives were summarized and analyzed. The toxicity of graphene and its derivatives is further reviewed. In addition, we suggest possible future development directions of graphene and its derivatives in bone tissue engineering applications to provide a reference for further clinical application.

Abstract
Organoids are in vitro model systems that mimic the complexity of organs with multicellular structures and functions, which provide great potential for biomedical and tissue engineering. However, their current formation heavily relies on using complex animal-derived extracellular matrices (ECM), such as Matrigel. These matrices are often poorly defined in chemical components and exhibit limited tunability and reproducibility. Recently, the biochemical and biophysical properties of defined hydrogels can be precisely tuned, offering broader opportunities to support the development and maturation of organoids. In this review, the fundamental properties of ECM in vivo and critical strategies to design matrices for organoid culture are summarized. Two typically defined hydrogels derived from natural and synthetic polymers for their applicability to improve organoids formation are presented. The representative applications of incorporating organoids into defined hydrogels are highlighted. Finally, some challenges and future perspectives are also discussed in developing defined hydrogels and advanced technologies toward supporting organoid research.

Adv Biol (Weinh) 2023; 7:e2300039.

Abstract
A composite biomatrix fabricated with collagen, ƙ-carrageenan, hydroxyapatite reinforced with lanthanum oxide nanoparticles is explored as proangiogenic and osteogenic bone tissue repair biomaterial. The biomatrix shows increased physical and biological stability as observed from proteolytic degradation and thermal stability studies. The addition of lanthanum oxide nanoparticles facilitates good osseointegration coupled with simultaneous activation of proangiogenic properties to act as a bone mimicking material. The minimal level of reactive oxygen species and superior cytocompatibility help the as-synthesized biomatrix in achieving capillary migration into the bone micro environment. The composite biomatrix upregulates the expression of VEGF, VEGF-R2 genes in endothelial cells and osteopontin, osteocalcin in osteoblasts cells, respectively. The in vivo hard tissue repair experiment conducted in a rat model shows complete healing of the bone defect by eight weeks with the application of collagen-ƙ-carrageenan-hydroxyapatite-lanthanum oxide nanoparticle biomaterial when compared to the biomaterial made out of individual constituents alone. The biomaterial matrix gets biointegrated into the bone tissue and exerts its therapeutic value in bringing a faster osseo repair process. The study shows the feasibility of using rare-earth metal nanoparticles in combination with protein-polysaccharide biopolymers for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Wound infection is inevitable in most patients suffering from extensive burns or chronic ulcers, and there is an urgent demand for the production of bactericidal dressings to be used as grafts to restore skin functionalities. In this context, the present study explores the fabrication of plasma-derived fibrin hydrogels containing bactericidal hybrids based on graphene oxide (GO). The hydrogels were fully characterized regarding gelation kinetics, mechanical properties, and internal hydrogel structures by disruptive cryo scanning electron microscopies (cryo-SEMs). The gelation kinetic experiments revealed an acceleration of the gel formation when GO was added to the hydrogels in a concentration of up to 0.2 mg/mL. The cryo-SEM studies showed up a decrease of the pore size when GO was added to the network, which agreed with a faster area contraction and a higher compression modulus of the hydrogels that contained GO, pointing out the critical structural role of the nanomaterial. Afterward, to study the bactericidal ability of the gels, GO was used as a carrier, loading streptomycin (STREP) on its surface. The loading content of the drug to form the hybrid (GO/STREP) resulted in 50.2% ± 4.7%, and the presence of the antibiotic was also demonstrated by Raman spectroscopy, Z-potential studies, and thermogravimetric analyses. The fibrin-derived hydrogels containing GO/STREP showed a dose-response behavior according to the bactericidal hybrid concentration and allowed a sustained release of the antibiotic at a programmed rate, leading to drug delivery over a prolonged period of time.

Abstract
The development of new scaffolds and materials for tissue engineering is a wide and open realm of material science. Among solutions, the use of biopolymers represents a particularly interesting area of study due to their great chemical complexity that enables creation of specific molecular architectures. However, biopolymers do not exhibit the properties required for direct application in tissue repair-such as mechanical and electrical properties-but they do show very attractive chemical functionalities which are difficult to produce through in vitro synthesis. The combination of biopolymers with nanostructured carbon fillers could represent a robust solution to enhance composite properties, producing composites with new and unique features, particularly relating to electronic conduction. In this paper, we provide a review of the field of carbonaceous nanostructure-containing biopolymer composites, limiting our investigation to tissue-engineering applications, and providing a complete overview of the recent and most outstanding achievements.

Abstract
Most people who suffer acute injuries in accidents have fractured bones. Many of the basic processes that take place during embryonic skeletal development are replicated throughout the regeneration process that occurs during this time. Bruises and bone fractures, for example, serve as excellent examples. It almost always results in a successful recovery and restoration of the structural integrity and strength of the broken bone. After a fracture, the body begins to regenerate bone. Bone formation is a complex physiological process that requires meticulous planning and execution. A normal healing procedure for a fracture might reveal how the bone is constantly rebuilding as an adult. Bone regeneration is becoming more dependent on polymer nanocomposites, which are composites made up of a polymer matrix and a nanomaterial. This study will review polymer nanocomposites that are employed in bone regeneration to stimulate bone regeneration. As a result, we will introduce the role of bone regeneration nanocomposite scaffolds, and the nanocomposite ceramics and biomaterials that play a role in bone regeneration. Aside from that, recent advances in polymer nanocomposites might be used in a variety of industrial processes to help people with bone defects overcome their challenges will be discussed.

Abstract
Fibrin is a promising natural polymer that is widely used for diverse applications, such as hemostatic glue, carrier for drug and cell delivery, and matrix for tissue engineering. Despite the significant advances in the use of fibrin for bioengineering and biomedical applications, some of its characteristics must be improved for suitability for general use. For example, fibrin hydrogels tend to shrink and degrade quickly after polymerization, particularly when they contain embedded cells. In addition, their poor mechanical properties and batch-to-batch variability affect their handling, long-term stability, standardization, and reliability. One of the most widely used approaches to improve their properties has been modification of the structure and composition of fibrin hydrogels. In this review, recent advances in composite fibrin scaffolds, chemically modified fibrin hydrogels, interpenetrated polymer network (IPN) hydrogels composed of fibrin and other synthetic or natural polymers are critically reviewed, focusing on their use for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, various bioactive material-based scaffolds were investigated and researchers across the globe are actively involved in establishing a potential state-of-the-art for bone tissue engineering applications, wherein several disciplines like clinical medicine, materials science, and biotechnology are involved. The present review article's main aim is to focus on repairing and restoring bone tissue defects by enhancing the bioactivity of fabricated bone tissue scaffolds and providing a suitable microenvironment for the bone cells to fasten the healing process. It deals with the various surface modification strategies and smart composite materials development that are involved in the treatment of bone tissue defects. Orthopaedic researchers and clinicians constantly focus on developing strategies that can naturally imitate not only the bone tissue architecture but also its functional properties to modulate cellular behaviour to facilitate bridging, callus formation and osteogenesis at critical bone defects. This review summarizes the currently available polymeric composite matrices and the methods to improve their bioactivity for bone tissue regeneration effectively.

Abstract
2D nanomaterials show great potential in biomedical applications due to their unique physical and chemical surface properties. This review includes typical 2D nanomaterials used in bone tissue engineering (BTE), such as graphene oxide, hexagonal boron nitride, molybdenum disulfide, black phosphorus, and MXenes. Moreover, the construction methods of BTE materials with 2D nanosheets are analyzed. Before designing a BTE material, it is essential to understand the relationship between the material structure and properties. Notably, 2D nanomaterials can be hybridized with biomaterials, such as polypeptides, proteins, and polysaccharides, to improve biocompatibility and host responses. The effects of the surface properties and size of 2D nanomaterials on cellular behavior, gene expression, antibacterial properties, and cytotoxicity in BTE applications are also discussed. This work provides new design ideas and directions for constructing 2D nanomaterial-based BTE scaffolds.

Abstract
Congenital disease, tumors, infections, and trauma are the main reasons for cranial bone defects. Herein, poly (butylene succinate) (PB)/silicon nitride (Si3N4) nanocomposites (PSC) with Si3N4 content of 15 w% (PSC15) and 30 w% (PSC30) were fabricated for cranial bone repair. Compared with PB, the compressive strength, hydrophilicity, surface roughness, and protein absorption of nanocomposites were increased with the increase in Si3N4 content (from 15 w% to 30 w%). Furthermore, the cell adhesion, multiplication, and osteoblastic differentiation on PSC were significantly enhanced with the Si3N4 content increasing in vitro. PSC30 exhibited optimized physicochemical properties (compressive strength, surface roughness, hydrophilicity, and protein adsorption) and cytocompatibility. The m-CT and histological results displayed that the new bone formation for SPC30 obviously increased compared with PB, and PSC30 displayed proper degradability (75.3 w% at 12 weeks) and was gradually replaced by new bone tissue in vivo. The addition of Si3N4 into PB not only optimized the surface performances of PSC but also improved the degradability of PSC, which led to the release of Si ions and a weak alkaline environment that significantly promoted cell response and tissue regeneration. In short, the enhancements of cellular responses and bone regeneration of PSC30 were attributed to the synergism of the optimized surface performances and slow release of Si ion, and PSC30 were better than PB. Accordingly, PSC30, with good biocompatibility and degradability, displayed a promising and huge potential for cranial bone construction.

Abstract
Hydrogels with soft and wet properties have been intensively investigated for chronic disease tissue repair. Nevertheless, tissue engineering hydrogels containing high water content are often simultaneously suffered from low porous size and low water-resistant capacities, leading to undesirable surgery outcomes. Here, a novel sponge-like macro-porous hydrogel (SM-hydrogel) with stable macro-porous structures and anti-swelling performances is developed via a facile, fast yet robust approach induced by Ti3 C2 MXene additives. The MXene-induced SM-hydrogels (80% water content) with 200-300 µm open macropores, demonstrating ideal mass/nutrient infiltration capability at ≈20-fold higher water/blood-transport velocity over that of the nonporous hydrogels. Moreover, the highly strong interactions between MXene and polymer chains endow the SM-hydrogels with excellent anti-swelling capability, promising equilibrium SM-hydrogels with identical macro-porous structures and toughened mechanical performances. The SM-hydrogel with versatile functions such as facilitating mass transport, antibacterial (bacterial viability in (Acrylic acid-co-Methacrylamide dopamine) copolymer-Ti3 C2 MXene below 25%), and reactive oxygen species scavenging capacities (96% scavenging ratio at 120 min) synergistically promotes diabetic wound healing (compared with non-porous hydrogels the wound closure rate increased from 39% to 81% within 7 days). Therefore, the durable SM-hydrogels exhibit connective macro-porous structures and bears versatile functions induced by MXene, demonstrating its great potential for wound tissue engineering.

Recent Developments and Current Applications of Organic Nanomaterials in Cartilage Repair. Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:bioengineering9080390.

Abstract
Regeneration of cartilage is difficult due to the unique microstructure, unique multizone organization, and avascular nature of cartilage tissue. The development of nanomaterials and nanofabrication technologies holds great promise for the repair and regeneration of injured or degenerated cartilage tissue. Nanomaterials have structural components smaller than 100 nm in at least one dimension and exhibit unique properties due to their nanoscale structure and high specific surface area. The unique properties of nanomaterials include, but are not limited to, increased chemical reactivity, mechanical strength, degradability, and biocompatibility. As an emerging nanomaterial, organic nanocomposites can mimic natural cartilage in terms of microstructure, physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. The integration of organic nanomaterials is expected to develop scaffolds that better mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment of cartilage to enhance scaffold-cell interactions and improve the functionality of engineered tissue constructs. Next-generation hydrogel technology and bioprinting can be used not only for healing cartilage injury areas but also for extensive osteoarthritic degenerative changes within the joint. Although more challenges need to be solved before they can be translated into full-fledged commercial products, nano-organic composites remain very promising candidates for the future development of cartilage tissue engineering.

In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of decellularized cellulose scaffolds functionalized with chitosan and platelet rich plasma for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
This study describes the fabrication of cellulose scaffold (CS) and cellulose-chitosan (CS/CHI) scaffolds from the immature endosperm of Borassus flabellifer (Linn.) (BF) loaded with platelet rich plasma (PRP). Thus, developed scaffolds were evaluated for their physicochemical and mechanical behavior, growth factor release and biological performance. Additionally, in vivo response was assessed in a sub cutaneous rat model to study vascularization, host inflammatory response and macrophage polarization. The results of this study demonstrated that CS and CS/CHI scaffolds with PRP demonstrated favorable physiochemical and morphogical properties. The scaffold groups CS-PRP and CS/CHI-PRP were able to release growth factors in a well sustained manner under physiological conditions. The presence of PRP in cellulosic scaffolds did show significant differences in their behavior when investigated under in vitro studies, where the release of diverse cytokines improved the cellular proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Finally, the PRP enriched scaffolds when studied under in vivo conditions showed increased angiogenesis and re-epithelialization with adequate collagen deposition and tissue remodeling. Our results suggest that besides the conventional carrier systems, this new-generation of plant-based cellulosic scaffolds with/without any modification can serve as a suitable carrier for PRP encapsulation and release, which can be used in numerous tissue regenerative therapies.

Advances in Fibrin-Based Materials in Wound Repair: A Review. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27144504.

Abstract
The first bioprocess that occurs in response to wounding is the deterrence of local hemorrhage. This is accomplished by platelet aggregation and initiation of the hemostasis cascade. The resulting blood clot immediately enables the cessation of bleeding and then functions as a provisional matrix for wound healing, which begins a few days after injury. Here, fibrinogen and fibrin fibers are the key players, because they literally serve as scaffolds for tissue regeneration and promote the migration of cells, as well as the ingrowth of tissues. Fibrin is also an important modulator of healing and a host defense system against microbes that effectively maintains incoming leukocytes and acts as reservoir for growth factors. This review presents recent advances in the understanding and applications of fibrin and fibrin-fiber-incorporated biomedical materials applied to wound healing and subsequent tissue repair. It also discusses how fibrin-based materials function through several wound healing stages including physical barrier formation, the entrapment of bacteria, drug and cell delivery, and eventual degradation. Pure fibrin is not mechanically strong and stable enough to act as a singular wound repair material. To alleviate this problem, this paper will demonstrate recent advances in the modification of fibrin with next-generation materials exhibiting enhanced stability and medical efficacy, along with a detailed look at the mechanical properties of fibrin and fibrin-laden materials. Specifically, fibrin-based nanocomposites and their role in wound repair, sustained drug release, cell delivery to wound sites, skin reconstruction, and biomedical applications of drug-loaded fibrin-based materials will be demonstrated and discussed.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been used in medical research and practice for several years. Various aspects can affect the finished product of 3D printing, and it has been observed that the impact of the raw materials used for 3D printing is unique. Currently, hydrogels, including various natural and synthetic materials, are the most biologically and physically advantageous biological raw materials, and their use in orthopedics has increased considerably in recent years. 3D-printed hydrogels can be used in the construction of extracellular matrix during 3D printing processes. In addition to providing sufficient space structure for osteogenesis and chondrogenesis, hydrogels have shown positive effects on osteogenic and chondrogenic signaling pathways, promoting tissue repair in various dimensions. 3D-printed hydrogels are currently attracting extensive attention for the treatment of bone and joint injuries owing to the above-mentioned significant advantages. Furthermore, hydrogels have been recently used in infection prevention because of their antiseptic impact during the perioperative period. However, there are a few shortcomings associated with hydrogels including difficulty in getting rid of the constraints of the frame, poor mechanical strength, and burst release of loadings. These drawbacks could be overcome by combining 3D printing technology and novel hydrogel material through a multi-disciplinary approach. In this review, we provide a brief description and summary of the unique advantages of 3D printing technology in the field of orthopedics. In addition, some 3D printable hydrogels possessing prominent features, along with the key scope for their applications in bone joint repair, reconstruction, and antibacterial performance, are discussed to highlight the considerable prospects of hydrogels in the field of orthopedics.

Abstract
The field of tissue engineering is constantly evolving as it aims to develop bioengineered and functional tissues and organs for repair or replacement. Due to their large surface area and ability to interact with proteins and peptides, graphene oxides offer valuable physiochemical and biological features for biomedical applications and have been successfully employed for optimizing scaffold architectures for a wide range of organs, from the skin to cardiac tissue. This review critically focuses on opportunities to employ protein–graphene oxide structures either as nanocomposites or as biocomplexes and highlights the effects of carbonaceous nanostructures on protein conformation and structural stability for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Herein, recent applications and the biological activity of nanocomposite bioconjugates are analyzed with respect to cell viability and proliferation, along with the ability of these constructs to sustain the formation of new and functional tissue. Novel strategies and approaches based on stem cell therapy, as well as the involvement of the extracellular matrix in the design of smart nanoplatforms, are discussed.

Abstract
Nanostructured compounds already validated as performant reinforcements for biomedical applications together with different fabrication strategies have been often used to channel the biophysical and biochemical features of hydrogel networks. Ergo, a wide array of nanostructured compounds has been employed as additive materials integrated with hydrophilic networks based on naturally-derived polymers to produce promising scaffolding materials for specific fields of regenerative medicine. To date, nanoengineered hydrogels are extensively explored in (bio)printing formulations, representing the most advanced designs of hydrogel (bio)inks able to fabricate structures with improved mechanical properties and high print fidelity along with a cell-interactive environment. The development of printing inks comprising organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites is in full ascent as the impact of a small amount of nanoscale additive does not translate only in improved physicochemical and biomechanical properties of bioink. The biopolymeric nanocomposites may even exhibit additional particular properties engendered by nano-scale reinforcement such as electrical conductivity, magnetic responsiveness, antibacterial or antioxidation properties. The present review focus on hydrogels nanoengineered for 3D printing of biomimetic constructs, with particular emphasis on the impact of the spatial distribution of reinforcing agents (0D, 1D, 2D). Here, a systematic analysis of the naturally-derived nanostructured inks is presented highlighting the relationship between relevant length scales and size effects that influence the final properties of the hydrogels designed for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The most important role of tissue engineering is to develop a biomaterial with a property that mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) by enhancing the lineage-specific proliferation and differentiation with favorable regeneration property to aid in new tissue formation. Thus, to develop an ideal scaffold for bone repair, we have fabricated a composite nanofiber by the coaxial electrospinning technique. The coaxial electrospun nanofiber contains the core layer, consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blended with oregano extract and mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PVA-OE-MSNPs), and the shell layer, consisting of poly-ε-caprolactone blended with collagen and hydroxyapatite (PCL-collagen-HAP). We evaluated the physicochemical properties of the nanofibers using X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In vitro biocompatibility, cell adhesion, cell viability, and osteogenic potential were evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazole-2-yl)-2,5-diphenlytetrazolium bromide (MTT), calcein AM, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red staining in NIH 3T3/MG-63 cells. The results showed that the nanoparticle-incorporated coaxial nanofiber was observed with bead-free, continuous, and uniform fiber morphology with a mean diameter in the range of 310 ± 125 nm. From the biochemical studies, it is observed that the incorporation of nanofiber with HAP and MSNPs shows good swelling property with ideal porosity, biodegradation, and enhanced biomineralization property. In vitro results showed that the scaffolds with nanoparticles have higher cell adhesion, cell viability, ALP activity, and mineralization potential. Thus, the fabricated nanofiber could be an appropriate implantable biomaterial for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nanopesticides with controlled release can achieve more effective utilization of pesticides. Here, to enhance the adsorption of pesticides onto the target organisms, the formulation of pesticides with temperature-responsive release was proposed by combing graphene oxide (GO) and existing pyrethroid pesticides (cyhalothrin, bifenthrin and fenpropathrin). Pesticides were loaded onto GO nanosheets as a carrier via a simple physisorption process, and the GO–pesticide nanocomposites exhibited temperature-responsive release and excellent storage stability, which are of vital importance to the practical application. Furthermore, we assessed the bioactivity of the GO–pesticide nanocomposites against spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch) indoors and in the field. As a result, GO–pesticide nanocomposites had many folds higher bioactivity than individual pesticides, and could be adsorbed on the cuticle of T. urticae and surface of bean leaves with highly uniform dispersibility. The easy preparation and higher bioactivity of GO–pesticide nanocomposites indicate their promising application potential in pest control and green agriculture. Nanopesticides with controlled release can achieve more effective utilization of pesticides.![]()

Abstract
As the main load-bearing structure in the human body, bone and cartilage are susceptible to damage in sports and other activities. The repair and regeneration of bone and articular cartilage have been extensively studied in the past decades. Traditional approaches have been widely applied in clinical practice, but the effect varies from person to person and may cause side effects. With the rapid development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, various biomaterials show great potential in the regeneration of bone and cartilage. Carbon-based nanomaterials are solid materials with different structures and properties composed of allotropes of carbon, which are classified into zero-, one-, and two-dimensional ones. This Review systemically summarizes the different types of carbon-based nanomaterials, including zero-dimensional (fullerene, carbon dots, nanodiamonds), one-dimensional (carbon nanotubes), and two-dimensional (graphenic materials) as well as their applications in bone, cartilage, and osteochondral regeneration. Current limitations and future perspectives of carbon-based nanomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
Bone defect is usually difficult to recover quickly, and bone scaffold transplantation is considered to be an effective method. Biomaterials have a wide range of application prospects in bone tissue repair, and the two key problems are the selection of materials and cells. The object of this study was to discuss the structural characteristics of bone scaffold materials and their effects on bone repair in vivo. The chitin-hydroxyapatite (HAP)-collagen composite scaffolds (CHCS) was prepared with epichlorohydrin (ECH) as crosslinking agent. The structure was characterized and the compressive strength, porosity, water absorbency and stability were investigated. The biocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation of CHCS in vitro were detected, and the effect of defect repair in vivo was evaluated. The results suggested that HAP not only enhanced the compressive strength of CHCS, but also promoted the formation of calcium nodules due to its bone conductivity. Histological staining showed that collagen promoted collagen deposition and new bone formation. X-ray images also indicated that CHCS transplantation accelerated bone repair. Therefore, CHCs has immense potential in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Desirable carbon allotropes such as graphene oxide (GO) have entered the field with several biomedical applications, owing to their exceptional physicochemical and biological features, including extreme strength, found to be 200 times stronger than steel; remarkable light weight; large surface-to-volume ratio; chemical stability; unparalleled thermal and electrical conductivity; and enhanced cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation properties. The presence of functional groups on graphene oxide (GO) enhances further interactions with other molecules. Therefore, recent studies have focused on GO-based materials (GOBMs) rather than graphene. The aim of this research was to highlight the physicochemical and biological properties of GOBMs, especially their significance to biomedical applications. The latest studies of GOBMs in biomedical applications are critically reviewed, and in vitro and preclinical studies are assessed. Furthermore, the challenges likely to be faced and prospective future potential are addressed. GOBMs, a high potential emerging material, will dominate the materials of choice in the repair and development of human organs and medical devices. There is already great interest among academics as well as in pharmaceutical and biomedical industries.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is one of the promising areas that aims to address the global problem of organ and tissue shortages. The successful development of TE, particularly in bone tissue engineering, consists of the use of modern methods that allow the creation of scaffolds, the physicochemical, mechanical, and structural parameters of which will allow achieving the desired clinical results. The vast possibilities of the rapidly developing technology of three-dimensional (3D) printing, which allows the creation of individual scaffolds with high precision, has led to various developments in bone tissue TE. In this work, for the successful use of three-dimensional printing in TE to ensure the diffusion of nutrients during cell cultivation throughout the entire structure of the scaffold, a model of a rotating scaffold is proposed, and the movement of the diffusion flow of nutrient fluid is calculated based on Darcy’s law, which regulates the flow of fluids through porous media. The conducted studies of the rate of diffusion flow of nutrients based on glucose in the porous structure of scaffolds with a 10% content of calcium hydroxyapatite demonstrated the promise of using a model of a rotating composite scaffold in TE of bone tissue. The results show that at a scaffold rotation speed of 12 rpm, the diffusion flow rate of nutrients in the composite scaffolds porous structure is practically not affected by their geometric shape.
