Abstract
In this study, we explore the cartilage defect repair mechanism by phosphocreatine-grafted chitosan hydrogels loaded with berberine-treated ATDC5 cells (CSMP@BBR@ATDC5). Under the optimal concentrations of LPS and BBR ideal conditions, ATDC5 cell toxicity and proliferation were detected with AM/PI and EdU staining. Additionally, qPCR and Western blot were employed to detect the expression of the SIRT1/BMP4 signaling pathway and chondrogenic-related factors in ATDC5 cells. Moreover, BBR-treated ATDC5 was seeded into a phosphocreatine-grafted chitosan hydrogel system. Subsequently, the cartilage defect was established in mice. After 4, 8, and 12 weeks, knee specimens were collected to evaluate the repair of cartilage defects. According to our findings, BBR can increase ATDC5 viability by LPS treatment. Likewise, it upregulates the SIRT1/BMP4 signaling pathway expression and chondrogenic-related factors. Another, it was shown by histological observation that the cartilage defect had been repaired more effectively in the CSMP@BBR@ATDC5 group than in the other groups. Finally, the expressions of chondrogenic-related factors and SIRT1/BMP4 signaling pathway were upregulates in CSMP@BBR@ATDC5 than in other groups. In vitro, BBR protects inflammatory ATDC5 cells and maintains the expression of chondrogenic-related factors. Subsequently, we successfully use CSMP@BBR@ATDC 5 to repair knee cartilage defects in mice.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:13467. [PMID: 39769231 PMCID: PMC11678580 DOI: 10.3390/ijms252413467] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2024] [Revised: 11/22/2024] [Accepted: 11/26/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2025] Open
Abstract
Biomimetic natural biomaterial (BNBM) nanocomposite scaffolds for bone replacement can reduce the rate of implant failure and the associated risks of post-surgical complications for patients. Traditional bone implants, like allografts, and autografts, have limitations, such as donor site morbidity and potential patient inflammation. Over two million bone transplant procedures are performed yearly, and success varies depending on the material used. This emphasizes the importance of developing new biomaterials for bone replacement. Innovative BNBM nanocomposites for modern bone fabrication can promote the colonization of the desired cellular components and provide the necessary mechanical properties. Recent studies have highlighted the advantages of BNBM nanocomposites for bone replacement; therefore, this review focuses on the application of cellulose, chitosan, alginates, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and synthetic polymers enhanced with nanoparticles for the fabrication of nanocomposite scaffolds used in bone regeneration and replacement. This work outlines the most up-to-date overview and perspectives of selected promising BNBM nanocomposites for bone replacement that could be used for scaffold fabrication and replace other biomorphic materials such as metallics, ceramics, and synthetic polymers in the future. In summary, the concluding remarks highlight the advantages and disadvantages of BNBM nanocomposites, prospects, and future directions for bone tissue regeneration and replacement.

Abstract
Due to repeated microbial infection, persistent inflammation, excessive oxidative stress, and cell dysfunction, chronic wounds are difficult to heal, posing a serious threat to public health. Therefore, developing multifunctional wound dressings that can regulate the complex microenvironment of chronic wounds and enhance cellular function holds great significance. Recently, chitosan has emerged as a promising biopolymer for wound healing due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and versatile bioactivity. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of delayed chronic wound healing and discuss the healing-promoting properties of chitosan and its derivatives, such as good biocompatibility, antibacterial activity, hemostatic capacity, and the ability to promote tissue regeneration. On this basis, the potential applications of chitosan-based hydrogels are summarized in chronic wound healing, including providing a suitable microenvironment, eliminating bacterial infections, promoting hemostasis, inhibiting chronic inflammation, alleviating oxidative stress, and promoting tissue regeneration. In addition, the concerns and perspectives for the clinical application of chitosan-based hydrogels are also discussed.

Controlled release of magnesium ions from PLA microsphere-chitosan hydrogel complex for enhancing osteogenic and angiogenic activities in vitro. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 283:137649. [PMID: 39579813 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.137649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2024] [Revised: 11/06/2024] [Accepted: 11/12/2024] [Indexed: 11/25/2024]
Abstract
Magnesium ions (Mg2+) play an essential role in the metabolism and regeneration of bone tissue. Appropriate amounts of Mg2+ have been shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone-derived cells and angiogenesis of endothelial cells. However, the initial burst release of Mg2+ may compromise the osteogenic effect, so the controlled release of Mg2+ is the critical consideration of the magnesium-containing tissue-engineered bone materials. This study proposes a microsphere-hydrogel complex to enhance the sustained-release effect and prolong the release cycle of Mg2+. For the initial release of Mg2+, polylactic acid (PLA) microspheres containing MgO and MgCO3 were fabricated with uniform morphology. Further microspheres were incorporated into the chitosan-based hydrogel to form microsphere- hydrogel complex for extended release. The complex demonstrated effective sustained release of Mg2+ over a period exceeding 28 days. In vitro cell experiments, CS/PLA@MgO-MgCO3 significantly enhanced migration and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1. Meanwhile, it can facilitate the generation of blood vessels in HUVECs. In conclusion, the magnesium-loaded microsphere-hydrogel complex achieves excellent dual sustained-release properties with an extended-release cycle while enhancing vascularized osteogenic activity in vitro, showing promising prospects for clinical application in bone defect treatment.

Abstract
Developing biomaterials with high osteogenic properties is crucial for achieving rapid bone repair and regeneration. This study focuses on the application of nanocrystal hydroxyapatite (nHAp) as a drug carrier to load Fu Yuan Huo Xue Decoction (FYHXD), a traditional Chinese medicine derived from Angelica sinensis, aiming to achieve improved efficacy in treating bone diseases such as osteoporosis. Through a facile physical adsorption approach, the FTIR result emerges new characteristic absorption peaks in the range of 1200-950 cm-1, proving the successful absorption of FYHXD onto the nHAp with a loading efficiency of 39.76 %. The modified nHAp exhibits a similar shape to the bone-derived hydroxyapatite nanocrystals, and their diameter increases slightly after modification. The drug release assay implies the rapid release of FYHXD in the first 10 h, followed by a continuously slow release within 70 h. The developed nHAp effectively enhances the adhesion, spreading, and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro, and significantly promotes their osteogenic differentiation, as indicated by increased alkaline phosphatase activity. Overall, the biocomposites hold great promise as active ingredients for integration into bone-associated biomaterials, offering the potential to stimulate spontaneous osteogenesis without requiring exogenous osteogenic factors.

Abstract
The standard treatment for osteosarcoma combines surgery with chemotherapy, yet it is fraught with challenges such as postoperative tumor recurrence and chemotherapy-induced side effects. Additionally, bone defects after surgery often surpass the body's regenerative ability, affecting patient recovery. Bioengineering offers a novel approach through the use of bioactive scaffolds crafted from metals, ceramics, and hydrogels for bone defect repair. However, these scaffolds are typically devoid of antitumor properties, necessitating the integration of therapeutic agents. The development of a multifunctional therapeutic platform incorporating chemotherapeutic drugs, photothermal agents (PTAs), photosensitizers (PIs), sound sensitizers (SSs), magnetic thermotherapeutic agents (MTAs), and naturally occurring antitumor compounds addresses this limitation. This platform is engineered to target osteosarcoma cells while also facilitating bone tissue repair and regeneration. This review synthesizes recent advancements in integrated bioactive scaffolds (IBSs), underscoring their dual role in combating osteosarcoma and enhancing bone regeneration. We also examine the current limitations of IBSs and propose future research trajectories to overcome these hurdles.

Abstract
The development of novel gel-mineral supplements is important for improving the health of patients with dysphagia. In this study, we used natural egg white protein (NEWP) and phosphorylated egg white protein (STEWP) as controls. We modified NEWP with succinic anhydride to produce varying degrees of succinylated egg white protein (SAEWP). The addition of 20 % (w/v) succinic anhydride increased the β-sheet content of SAEWP from 11.97 % to 50.60 %, which stabilized the gel structure and formed a uniformly ordered three-dimensional network, resulting in the average pore size of SAEWP could reach >80 μm. Compared to NEWP, SAEWP hydrogel with 20 % succinic anhydride showed a 22.27 % increase in water holding capacity, a 56.13 % increase in hardness, and a 173.01 % increase in elasticity. Immersion in a calcium chloride solution resulted in a 220 % increase in calcium content. This study provides new insights into the development of innovative gel mineral supplements.

Abstract
Considering global surge in bone fracture prevalence, limitation in use of traditional healing approaches like bone grafts highlights the need for innovative regenerative strategies. Here, a novel green fabrication approach has reported for reinforcement of physicochemical performances of sustainable bioinspired extracellular matrix (ECM) based on decellularized pumpkin tissue coated with Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (hereafter called DM-Pumpkin) for enhanced bone regeneration. Compared to uncoated scaffold, DM-Pumpkin exhibited significantly improved surface roughness, mechanical stiffness, porosity, hydrophilicity, swelling, and biodegradation rate. Obtained nanoporous structure provides an ideal three-dimensional microenvironment for the attachment, migration and osteo-induction in human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (h- AdMSCs). Calcium deposition and mineralization, alkaline phosphatase activity, and SEM imaging of the cells as well as increased expression of bone-related genes after 21 days incubation confirmed capability of DM-Pumpkin in mimicking the biological properties of bone tissue. The presence of MgONPs had a silencing effect on inflammatory factors and improved wound closure, verified by in vivo studies. Increased expression of collagen type I and osteocalcin in the h- AdMSCs cultured on DM-Pumpkin compared to control further corroborated gained results. Altogether, boosting physicochemical and biological properties of DM-Pumpkin due to surface modification is a promising approach for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
This study explores the recent advances of and functional insights into hydrogel composites, materials that have gained significant attention for their versatile applications across various fields, including contemporary dentistry. Hydrogels, known for their high water content and biocompatibility, are inherently soft but often limited by mechanical fragility. Key areas of focus include the customization of hydrogel composites for biomedical applications, such as drug delivery systems, wound dressings, and tissue engineering scaffolds, where improved mechanical properties and bioactivity are critical. In dentistry, hydrogels are utilized for drug delivery systems targeting oral diseases, dental adhesives, and periodontal therapies due to their ability to adhere to the mucosa, provide localized treatment, and support tissue regeneration. Their unique properties, such as mucoadhesion, controlled drug release, and stimuli responsiveness, make them ideal candidates for treating oral conditions. This review highlights both experimental breakthroughs and theoretical insights into the structure-property relationships within hydrogel composites, aiming to guide future developments in the design and application of these multifunctional materials in dentistry. Ultimately, hydrogel composites represent a promising frontier for advancing materials science with far-reaching implications in healthcare, environmental technology, and beyond.

Development and evaluation of an injectable ChitHCl-MgSO 4-DDA hydrogel for bone regeneration: In vitro and in vivo studies on cell migration and osteogenesis enhancement. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 163:213963. [PMID: 39024862 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/15/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024]
Abstract
Nonunion and delayed union of the bone are situations in orthopedic surgery that can occur even if the bone alignment is correct and there is sufficient mechanical stability. Surgeons usually apply artificial bone grafts in bone fracture gaps or in bone defect sites for osteogenesis to improve bone healing; however, these bone graft materials have no osteoinductive or osteogenic properties, and fit the morphology of the fracture gap with difficulty. In this study, we developed an injectable chitosan-based hydrogel with MgSO4 and dextran oxidative, with the purpose to improve bone healing through introducing an engineered chitosan-based hydrogel. The developed hydrogel can gelate and fit with any morphology or shape, has good biocompatibility, can enhance the cell-migration capacity, and can improve extracellular calcium deposition. Moreover, the amount of new bone formed by injecting the hydrogel in the bone tunnel was assessed by an in vivo test. We believe this injectable chitosan-based hydrogel has great potential for application in the orthopedic field to improve fracture gap healing.

A photothermal responsive system accelerating nitric oxide release to enhance bone repair by promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Mater Today Bio 2024; 28:101180. [PMID: 39221216 PMCID: PMC11364911 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.101180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 07/27/2024] [Accepted: 08/03/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024] Open
Abstract
Managing bone defects remains a formidable clinical hurdle, primarily attributed to the inadequate orchestration of vascular reconstruction and osteogenic differentiation in both spatial and temporal dimensions. This challenge persists due to the constrained availability of autogenous grafts and the limited regenerative capacity of allogeneic or synthetic bone substitutes, thus necessitating continual exploration and innovation in the realm of functional and bioactive bone graft materials. While synthetic scaffolds have emerged as promising carriers for bone grafts, their efficacy is curtailed by deficiencies in vascularization and osteoinductive potential. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a key role in revascularization and bone tissue regeneration, yet studies related to the use of NO for the treatment of bone defects remain scarce. Herein, we present a pioneering approach leveraging a photothermal-responsive system to augment NO release. This system comprises macromolecular mPEG-P nanoparticles encapsulating indocyanine green (ICG) (NO-NPs@ICG) and a mPEG-PA-PP injectable thermosensitive hydrogel carrier. By harnessing the synergistic photothermal effects of near-infrared radiation and ICG, the system achieves sustained NO release, thereby activating the soluble guanylate cyclase (SGC)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo. This orchestrated cascade culminates in the facilitation of angiogenesis and osteogenesis, thus expediting the reparative processes in bone defects. In a nutshell, the NO release-responsive system elucidated in this study presents a pioneering avenue for refining the bone tissue microenvironment and fostering enhanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration facilitates the growth of new bone in areas where there is a bone defect or insufficiency. This technique involves placing a barrier membrane over the bone graft site, and the membrane prevents the invasion of soft tissue (such as gingival tissue) into the bone graft area. This allows the slower-growing bone cells to populate the area without competition, promoting proper bone regeneration. When combined, chitosan and gelatin create composite scaffolds that leverage the strengths of both materials. Chitosan provides structural integrity and antimicrobial properties, and gelatin enhances cell attachment and proliferation, which improves mechanical properties and makes it more suitable for supporting bone regeneration in load-bearing areas. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chitosan and gelatin-based scaffolds in bone regeneration. Various databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, LILAC, and Google Scholar were screened to adhere to the eligibility criteria. The included studies in the review were the in vivo and in vitro assessment of the chitosan and gelatin efficiency as a scaffold. Six studies were investigated for the involvement of chitosan and gelatin-based scaffolds in bone regeneration. Of these, two in vivo studies examined bone regeneration by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) using different staining techniques, while the remaining four in vitro studies used histologic and histometric analysis where stem cells, chemicals, and other biopolymers were compared. Chitosan and gelatin scaffolds consistently showed better results in terms of bone repair throughout all six experiments. Gelatin's capacity for regeneration can be increased by mixing it with chitosan. For additional advancement, future researchers need to focus on incorporating biopolymers. The potential of scaffolds composed of gelatin and chitosan to replace tissue lost due to periodontitis shows great clinical significance.

Abstract
The complex anatomy and biology of craniofacial bones pose difficulties in their effective and precise reconstruction. Injectable hydrogels (IHs) with water-swollen networks are emerging as a shape-adaptive alternative for noninvasively rebuilding craniofacial bones. The advent of versatile nanomaterials (NMs) customizes IHs with strengthened mechanical properties and therapeutically favorable performance, presenting excellent contenders over traditional substitutes. Structurally, NM-reinforced IHs are energy dissipative and covalently crosslinked, providing the mechanics necessary to support craniofacial structures and physiological functions. Biofunctionally, incorporating unique NMs into IH expands a plethora of biological activities, including immunomodulatory, osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial effects, further favoring controllable dynamic tissue regeneration. Mechanistically, NM-engineered IHs optimize the physical traits to direct cell responses, regulate intracellular signaling pathways, and control the release of biomolecules, collectively bestowing structure-induced features and multifunctionality. By encompassing state-of-the-art advances in NM-integrated IHs, this review offers a foundation for future clinical translation of craniofacial bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Osteochondral defect is a complex tissue loss disease caused by arthritis, high-energy trauma, and many other reasons. Due to the unique structural characteristics of osteochondral tissue, the repair process is sophisticated and involves the regeneration of both hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone. However, the current clinical treatments often fall short of achieving the desired outcomes. Tissue engineering bioscaffolds, especially those created via three-dimensional (3D) printing, offer promising solutions for osteochondral defects due to their precisely controllable 3D structures. The microstructure of 3D-printed bioscaffolds provides an excellent physical environment for cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as nutrient transport. Traditional 3D-printed bioscaffolds offer mere physical stimulation, while drug-loaded 3D bioscaffolds accelerate the tissue repair process by synergistically combining drug therapy with physical stimulation. In this review, the physiological characteristics of osteochondral tissue and current treatments of osteochondral defect were reviewed. Subsequently, the latest progress in drug-loaded bioscaffolds was discussed and highlighted in terms of classification, characteristics, and applications. The perspectives of scaffold design, drug control release, and biosafety were also discussed. We hope this article will serve as a valuable reference for the design and development of osteochondral regenerative bioscaffolds and pave the way for the use of drug-loaded bioscaffolds in clinical therapy.

Abstract
Large bone defects resulting from fractures and diseases have become a significant medical concern, usually impeding spontaneous healing through the body's self-repair mechanism. Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are widely utilized for bone regeneration, owing to their exceptional biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. However, their bioactivities in repairing healing-impaired bone defects characterized by conditions such as ischemia and infection remain limited. Recently, an emerging bioceramics zinc-strontium phosphate (ZSP, Zn2Sr(PO4)2) has received increasing attention due to its remarkable antibacterial and angiogenic abilities, while its plausible biomedical utility on tissue regeneration is nonetheless few. In this study, gallic acid-grafted gelatin (GGA) with antioxidant properties was injected into hydrogels to scavenge reactive oxygen species and regulate bone microenvironment while simultaneously incorporating ZSP to form GGA-ZSP hydrogels. The GGA-ZSP hydrogel exhibits low swelling, and in vitro cell experiments have demonstrated its favorable biocompatibility, osteogenic induction potential, and ability to promote vascular regeneration. In an in vivo bone defect model, the GGA-ZSP hydrogel significantly enhanced the bone regeneration rates. This study demonstrated that the GGA-ZSP hydrogel has pretty environmentally friendly therapeutic effects in osteogenic differentiation and massive bone defect repair.

Abstract
Biomaterials are used as scaffolds in bone regeneration to facilitate the restoration of bone tissues. The local immune microenvironment affects bone repair but the role of immune response in biomaterial-facilitated osteogenesis has been largely overlooked and it presents a major knowledge gap in the field. Nanomaterials that can modulate M1 to M2 macrophage polarization and, thus, promote bone repair are known. This study investigates a novel approach to accelerate bone healing by using acemannan coated, cobalt-doped biphasic calcium phosphate nanoparticles to promote osteogenesis and modulate macrophage polarization to provide a prohealing microenvironment for bone regeneration. Different concentrations of cobalt were doped in biphasic calcium phosphate nanoparticles, which were further coated with acemannan polymer and characterized. The nanoparticles showed >90% cell viability and enhanced cell proliferation along with osteogenic differentiation as demonstrated by the enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and osteogenic calcium deposition. The morphology of MC3T3-E1 cells remained unchanged even after treatment with nanoparticles. Acemannan coated nanoparticles were also able to decrease the expression of M1 markers, iNOS, and CD68 and enhance the expression of M2 markers, CD206, CD163, and Arg-1 as indicated by RT-qPCR, flow cytometry, and ICC studies. The findings show that acemannan coated nanoparticles can create a supportive immune milieu by inducing and promoting the release of osteogenic markers, and by causing a reduction in inflammatory markers, thus helping in efficient bone regeneration. As per our knowledge, this is the first study showing the combined effect of acemannan and cobalt for bone regeneration using immunomodulation. The work presents a novel approach for enhancing osteogenesis and macrophage polarization, thus, offering a potent strategy for effective bone regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoinductive supplements without side effects stand out from the growth factors and drugs widely used in bone tissue engineering. Lithium magnesium sodium silicate hydrate (laponite) nanoflake is a promising bioactive component for bone regeneration, attributed to its inherent biosafety and effective osteoinductivity. Up to now, the in vivo osteogenic potential and mechanisms of laponite-encapsulated fibrous membranes remain largely unexplored. This study presents a unique method for homogeneously integrating high concentrations of laponite RDS into a polycaprolactone (PCL) matrix by dispersing laponite RDS sol into the polymer solution. Subsequently, a core-shell fibrous membrane (10RP-PG), embedding laponite-loaded PCL in its core, was crafted using coaxial electrospinning. The PCL core's slow degradation and the shell's gradient degradation enabled the sustained release of bioactive ions (Si and Mg) from laponite. In vivo studies on a critical-sized calvarial bone defect model demonstrated that the 10RP-PG membrane markedly enhanced bone formation and remodeling by accelerating the process of endochondral ossification. Further transcriptome analysis suggested that osteogenesis in the 10RP-PG membrane is driven by Mg and Si from endocytosed laponite, activating pathways related to ossification and endochondral ossification, including Hippo, Wnt and Notch. The fabricated nanocomposite fibrous membranes hold great promise in the fields of critical-sized bone defect repair.

Abstract
The applications of hydrogels have expanded significantly due to their versatile, highly tunable properties and breakthroughs in biomaterial technologies. In this review, we cover the major achievements and the potential of hydrogels in therapeutic applications, focusing primarily on two areas: emerging cell-based therapies and promising non-cell therapeutic modalities. Within the context of cell therapy, we discuss the capacity of hydrogels to overcome the existing translational challenges faced by mainstream cell therapy paradigms, provide a detailed discussion on the advantages and principal design considerations of hydrogels for boosting the efficacy of cell therapy, as well as list specific examples of their applications in different disease scenarios. We then explore the potential of hydrogels in drug delivery, physical intervention therapies, and other non-cell therapeutic areas (e.g., bioadhesives, artificial tissues, and biosensors), emphasizing their utility beyond mere delivery vehicles. Additionally, we complement our discussion on the latest progress and challenges in the clinical application of hydrogels and outline future research directions, particularly in terms of integration with advanced biomanufacturing technologies.

Mg-Cross-Linked Alginate Hydrogel Induces BMSC/Macrophage Crosstalk to Enhance Bone Tissue Regeneration via Dual Promotion of the Ligand-Receptor Pairing of the OSM/miR-370-3p-gp130 Signaling Pathway.

Abstract
Macrophages play a pivotal role in the crosstalk between the immune and skeletal systems, while Mg-based biomaterials demonstrate immunomodulatory capabilities in this procedure. However, the mechanism of how Mg2+ promotes osteogenesis through the interplay of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and macrophages remains undescribed. Here, we demonstrated that a Mg-cross-linked alginate hydrogel exerted a dual enhancement of BMSCs osteogenic differentiation through the ligand-receptor pairing of the OSM/miR-370-3p-gp130 axis. On the one hand, Mg2+, released from the Mg-cross-linked hydrogel, stimulates bone marrow-derived macrophages to produce and secrete more OSM. On the other hand, Mg2+ lowers the miR-370-3p level in BMSCs and in turn, reverses its suppression on gp130. Then, the OSM binds to the gp130 heterodimer receptor and activates intracellular osteogenic programs in BMSCs. Taken together, this study reveals a novel cross-talk pattern between the skeletal and immune systems under Mg2+ stimulation. This study not only brings new insights into the immunomodulatory properties of Mg-based biomaterials for orthopedic applications but also enriches the miRNA regulatory network and provides a promising target to facilitate bone regeneration in large bone defects.

Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and other drug-resistant bacteria have become more common in recent years, which has made it extremely difficult to treat and heal many different kinds of wounds and caused enormous financial losses. Because of its unique "Trojan horse" function, Ga3+ has been recognized as a new possible candidate for inhibiting and eradicating drug-resistant bacteria. Furthermore, natural polysaccharide materials with outstanding biological characteristics, such as insect chitosan (CS) and pullulan (PUL), have attracted significant interest. In this study, we used quaternized-catechol chitosan (QDCS-PA), methacrylate-dialdehyde pullulan (DPUL-GMA), and gallium ion (Ga) to create a multi-crosslinked photo-enhanced hydrogel (Q-D/Ga/UV) with antimicrobial, hemostatic, self-healing, and injectable properties for promoting MRSA-infected wound healing. In vitro, the Q-D/Ga/UV hydrogels demonstrated good mechanical properties, antioxidant capabilities, biocompatibility, hemostatic properties, and antibacterial activity. The addition of gallium ions enhanced the hydrogels' mechanical properties, hemostatic capabilities, antibacterial activity, and ability to induce wound healing. Q-D/Ga/UV hydrogel significantly promoted wound contraction, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis while also suppressing inflammation in a whole-skin wound model of MRSA-infected rats. In conclusion, Q-D/Ga/UV hydrogels demonstrate significant promise for healing wounds infected with drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Chitosan, a biopolymer acquired from chitin, has emerged as a versatile and favorable material in the domain of tissue engineering and wound healing. Its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and antimicrobial characteristics make it a suitable candidate for these applications. In tissue engineering, chitosan-based formulations have garnered substantial attention as they have the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix, furnishing an optimal microenvironment for cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. In the realm of wound healing, chitosan-based dressings have revealed exceptional characteristics. They maintain a moist wound environment, expedite wound closure, and prevent infections. These formulations provide controlled release mechanisms, assuring sustained delivery of bioactive molecules to the wound area. Chitosan's immunomodulatory properties have also been investigated to govern the inflammatory reaction during wound healing, fostering a balanced healing procedure. In summary, recent progress in chitosan-based formulations portrays a substantial stride in tissue engineering and wound healing. These innovative approaches hold great promise for enhancing patient outcomes, diminishing healing times, and minimizing complications in clinical settings. Continued research and development in this field are anticipated to lead to even more sophisticated chitosan-based formulations for tissue repair and wound management. The integration of chitosan with emergent technologies emphasizes its potential as a cornerstone in the future of regenerative medicine and wound care. Initially, this review provides an outline of sources and unique properties of chitosan, followed by recent signs of progress in chitosan-based formulations for tissue engineering and wound healing, underscoring their potential and innovative strategies.

Abstract
The healing of critical-sized bone defects is a major challenge in the field of bone tissue engineering. Gelatin-related hydrogels have emerged as a potential solution due to their desirable properties. However, their limited osteogenic, mechanical, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging capabilities have hindered their clinical application. To overcome this issue, we developed a biofunctional gelatin-Mxene nanocomposite hydrogel. Firstly, we prepared two-dimensional (2D) Ti3C2 MXene nanosheets using a layer delamination method. Secondly, these nanosheets were incorporated into a transglutaminase (TG) enzyme-containing gallic acid-imbedded gelatin (GGA) pre-gel solution to create an injectable GGA-MXene (GM) nanocomposite hydrogel. The GM hydrogels exhibited superior compressive strength (44-75.6 kPa) and modulus (24-44.5 kPa) compared to the GGA hydrogels. Additionally, the GM hydrogel demonstrated the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (OH- and DPPH radicals), protecting MC3T3-E1 cells from oxidative stress. GM hydrogels were non-toxic to MC3T3-E1 cells, increased alkaline phosphatase secretion, calcium nodule formation, and upregulated osteogenic gene expressions (ALP, OCN, and RUNX2). The GM400 hydrogel was implanted in critical-sized calvarial defects in rats. Remarkably, it exhibited significant potential for promoting new bone formation. These findings indicated that GM hydrogel could be a viable candidate for future clinical applications in the treatment of critical-sized bone defects.

An injectable magnesium-coordinated phosphate chitosan-based hydrogel loaded with vancomycin for antibacterial and osteogenesis in the treatment of osteomyelitis. Regen Biomater 2024; 11:rbae049.

Abstract
Microbial infections of bones, particularly after joint replacement surgery, are a common occurrence in clinical settings and often lead to osteomyelitis (OM). Unfortunately, current treatment approaches for OM are not satisfactory. To address this issue, this study focuses on the development and evaluation of an injectable magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticle (NP)-coordinated phosphocreatine-grafted chitosan hydrogel (CMPMg-VCM) loaded with varying amounts of vancomycin (VCM) for the treatment of OM. The results demonstrate that the loading of VCM does not affect the formation of the injectable hydrogel, and the MgO-incorporated hydrogel exhibits anti-swelling properties. The release of VCM from the hydrogel effectively kills S.aureus bacteria, with CMPMg-VCM (50) showing the highest antibacterial activity even after prolonged immersion in PBS solution for 12 days. Importantly, all the hydrogels are non-toxic to MC3T3-E1 cells and promote osteogenic differentiation through the early secretion of alkaline phosphatase and calcium nodule formation. Furthermore, in vivo experiments using a rat OM model reveal that the CMPMg-VCM hydrogel effectively kills and inhibits bacterial growth, while also protecting the infected bone from osteolysis. These beneficial properties are attributed to the burst release of VCM, which disrupts bacterial biofilm, as well as the release of Mg ions and hydroxyl by the degradation of MgO NPs, which inhibits bacterial growth and prevents osteolysis. Overall, the CMPMg-VCM hydrogel exhibits promising potential for the treatment of microbial bone infections.

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.

Inorganic nanoparticles are promising materials for bone tissue engineering due to their chemical resemblance to the native bone structure. However, most studies are unable to capture the entirety of the defective environment, providing limited bone regenerative abilities. Hence, this study aims to develop a multifunctional nanoparticle to collectively control the defective bone niche, including immune, angiogenic, and osteogenic systems. The nanoparticles, self-assembled by biomimetic mineralization and tannic acid (TA)-mediated metal-polyphenol network (MPN), are released sustainably after the incorporation within a gelatin cryogel. The released nanoparticles display a reduction in M1 macrophages by means of reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination. Consequently, osteoclast maturation is also reduced, which is observed by the minimal formation of multinucleated cells (0.4%). Furthermore, the proportion of M2 macrophages, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic potential are consistently increased by the effects of magnesium from the nanoparticles. This orchestrated control of multiple systems influences the in vivo vascularized bone regeneration in which 80% of the critical-sized bone defect is regenerated with new bones with mature lamellar structure and arteriole-scale micro-vessels. Altogether, this study emphasizes the importance of the coordinated modulation of immune, osteogenic, and angiogenic systems at the bone defect site for robust bone regeneration.

Abstract
Natural polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied in bone tissue engineering due to their excellent biocompatibility and outstanding ability of drug encapsulation. However, they have relatively weak mechanical properties and lack bioactivity. Hence, we developed a bioactive nanoparticle composite hydrogel by incorporating LAPONITE®, which is an osteo-inductive inorganic nanoparticle. The incorporation of the nanoparticle significantly enhanced its mechanical properties. In vitro evaluation indicated that the nanocomposite hydrogel could exhibit good biocompatibility. Besides, the nanocomposite hydrogel was proved to have excellent osteogenic ability with up-regulated expression of osteogenic markers such as type I collagen (COL-I), runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx-2) and osteocalcin (OCN). Furthermore, the in vivo study confirmed that the composite nanocomposite hydrogel could significantly promote new bone formation, providing a prospective strategy for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) demonstrate beneficial effects on wound healing via anti-inflammatory and angiogenic properties. Chitosan (CS) exhibits excellent biocompatibility and accelerates cellular migration, adhesion, and proliferation. The ions released from bioactive glass (BG) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles exhibit sustained angiogenic and antibacterial potency. In this study, CMCS-CEBT hydrogel was synthesized from exosomes encapsulated carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs), BG, and TiO2 nanoparticles for a preliminary evaluation of its impacts on the treatment of full-thickness skin defects, diabetic wounds, and burn skin injury due to burns. In vitro analysis indicated that the hydrogel exhibits excellent cell compatibility, stimulates endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation, and presents anti-inflammatory, angiogenic, and antibacterial activities. In vivo, the composite hydrogel dressing accelerated a wound healing acceleration effect, stimulated angiogenesis, and increased collagen deposition and the expression of anti-inflammatory factors. This innovative composite hydrogel dressing as a potential clinical therapy, utilizing bioactive materials, holds promise as a potential clinical therapy that aims to facilitate the regeneration of acute and chronically damaged skin tissue.

Abstract
Scaffolds based on gelatin (Gel) play a crucial role in bone tissue engineering. However, the low mechanical properties, rapid biodegradation rate, insufficient osteogenic activity and lacking anti-infective properties limit their applications in bone regeneration. Herein, the incorporation of ibuprofen (IBU)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) in a methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) matrix was proposed as a simple and effective strategy to develop the IBU-ZIF-8@GelMA scaffolds for enhanced bone regeneration capacity. Results indicated that the IBU-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles with tiny particle sizes were uniformly distributed in the GelMA matrix of the IBU-ZIF-8@GelMA scaffolds, and the IBU-loaded ZIF-8 growing in the scaffolds enabled the controlled and sustained releasing of Zn2+ and IBU in pH = 5.5 over a long period for efficient bone repair and long-term anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, the doping of the IBU-loaded ZIF-8 nanoparticles efficiently enhanced the compression performance of the GelMA scaffolds. In vitro studies indicated that the prepared scaffolds presented no cytotoxicity to MC3T3-E1 cells and the released Zn2+ during the degradation of the scaffolds promoted MC3T3-E1 cell osteogenic differentiation. Thus, the drug-loaded ZIF-8 modified 3D printed GelMA scaffolds demonstrated great potential in treating bone defects.

Abstract
Spontaneous bone regeneration encounters substantial restrictions in cases of bone defects, demanding external intervention to improve the repair and regeneration procedure. The field of bone tissue engineering (BTE), which embraces a range of disciplines, offers compelling replacements for conventional strategies like autografts, allografts, and xenografts. Among the diverse scaffolding materials utilized in BTE applications, hydrogels have demonstrated great promise as templates for the regeneration of bone owing to their resemblance to the innate extracellular matrix. In spite of the advancement of several biomaterials, chitosan (CS), a natural biopolymer, has garnered significant attention in recent years as a beneficial graft material for producing injectable hydrogels. Injectable hydrogels based on CS formulations provide numerous advantages, including their capacity to absorb and preserve a significant amount of water, their minimally invasive character, the existence of porous structures, and their capability to adapt accurately to irregular defects. Moreover, combining CS with other naturally derived or synthetic polymers and bioactive materials has displayed its effectiveness as a feasible substitute for traditional grafts. We aim to spotlight the composition, production, and physicochemical characteristics and practical utilization of CS-based injectable hydrogels, explicitly focusing on their potential implementations in bone regeneration. We consider this review a fundamental resource and a source of inspiration for future research attempts to pioneer the next era of tissue-engineering scaffold materials.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by trauma, tumor resection, or developmental abnormalities are important issues in clinical practice. The vigorous development of tissue engineering technology provides new ideas and directions for regenerating bone defects. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a bioactive ceramic, is extensively used in bone tissue engineering because of its excellent osteoinductive performance. However, its application is challenged by its single function and conventional environment-unfriendly synthesis methods. In this study, we successfully "green" synthesized sr-silk fibroin co-assembly hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (Sr-SF-HA) using silk fibroin (SF) as a biomineralized template, thus enabling it to have angiogenic activity and achieving the combination of organic and inorganic substances. Then, the rough composite microspheres loaded with Sr-SF-HA (CS/Sr-SF-HA) through electrostatic spraying technology and freeze-drying method were prepared. The CCK-8 test and live/dead cell staining showed excellent biocompatibility of CS/Sr-SF-HA. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, alizarin red staining (ARS), immunofluorescence, western blotting, and qRT-PCR test showed that CS/Sr-SF-HA activated the expression of related genes and proteins, thus inducing the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Moreover, tube formation experiments, scratch experiments, immunofluorescence, and qRT-PCR detection indicated that CS/Sr-SF-HA have good angiogenic activity. Furthermore, in vivo studies showed that the CS/Sr-SF-HA possesses excellent biocompatibility, vascular activity, as well as ectopic osteogenic ability in the subcutaneous pocket of rats. This study indicates that the construction of CS/Sr-SF-HA with angiogenic and osteogenic properties has great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The migration of fibroblasts and endothelial cells is a critical determinant of wound-healing outcomes for skin injuries. Here, hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HAT) and thiolated glycol chitosan (TGC) conjugates were combined with copper-doped bioglass (ACuBG) nanoparticles to build a novel type of multi-crosslinked hydrogel for stimulating the migration of cells, and thus, expediting wound healing. The optimally devised HAT/TGC/ACuBG gels had markedly improved strength and stiffness compared to the gels built from either HAT or TGC while showing sufficient elasticity, which contributes to stimulating the migration of fibroblasts. The sustainable release of silicon and copper ions from the gels was found to jointly induce the migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The results based on mouse full-thickness skin defects demonstrated that they were able to fully restore the skin defects with formation of complete appendages within two weeks, suggesting their promising potency for use in expediting wound healing.

Abstract
Bone defects are primarily the result of high-energy trauma, pathological fractures, bone tumor resection, or infection debridement. The treatment of bone defects remains a huge clinical challenge. The current treatment options for bone defects include bone traction, autologous/allogeneic bone transplantation, gene therapy, and bone tissue engineering amongst others. With recent developments in the field, composite scaffolds prepared using tissue engineering techniques to repair bone defects are used more often. Among the various composite scaffolds, hydrogel exhibits the advantages of good biocompatibility, high water content, and degradability. Its three-dimensional structure is similar to that of the extracellular matrix, and as such it is possible to load stem cells, growth factors, metal ions, and small molecule drugs upon these scaffolds. Therefore, the hydrogel-loaded drug system has great potential in bone defect repair. This review summarizes the various natural and synthetic materials used in the preparation of hydrogels, in addition to the latest research status of hydrogel-loaded drug systems.

Abstract
Hydrogels, formed from crosslinked hydrophilic macromolecules, provide a three-dimensional microenvironment that mimics the extracellular matrix. They served as scaffold materials in regenerative medicine with an ever-growing demand. However, hydrogels composed of only organic components may not fully meet the performance and functionalization requirements for various tissue defects. Composite hydrogels, containing inorganic components, have attracted tremendous attention due to their unique compositions and properties. Rigid inorganic particles, rods, fibers, etc., can form organic-inorganic composite hydrogels through physical interaction and chemical bonding with polymer chains, which can not only adjust strength and modulus, but also act as carriers of bioactive components, enhancing the properties and biological functions of the composite hydrogels. Notably, incorporating environmental or stimulus-responsive inorganic particles imparts smartness to hydrogels, hence providing a flexible diagnostic platform for in vitro cell culture and in vivo tissue regeneration. In this review, we discuss and compare a set of materials currently used for developing organic-inorganic composite hydrogels, including the modification strategies for organic and inorganic components and their unique contributions to regenerative medicine. Specific emphasis is placed on the interactions between the organic or inorganic components and the biological functions introduced by the inorganic components. The advantages of these composite hydrogels indicate their potential to offer adaptable and intelligent therapeutic solutions for diverse tissue repair demands within the realm of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Soft hydrogels are excellent candidate materials for repairing various tissue defects, yet the mechanical strength, anti-swelling properties, and biocompatibility of many soft hydrogels need to be improved. Herein, inspired by the nanostructure of collagen fibrils, we developed a strategy toward achieving a soft but tough, anti-swelling nanofibrillar hydrogel by combining the self-assembly and chemical crosslinking of nanoparticles. Specifically, the collagen fibril-like injectable hydrogel was subtly designed and fabricated by self-assembling methylacrylyl hydroxypropyl chitosan (HM) with laponite (LAP) to form nanoparticles, followed by the inter-nanoparticle bonding through photo-crosslinking. The assembly mechanism of nanoparticles was elucidated by both experimental and simulation techniques. Due to the unique structure of the crosslinked nanoparticles, the nanocomposite hydrogels exhibited low stiffness (G'< 2 kPa), high compressive strength (709 kPa), and anti-swelling (swelling ratio of 1.07 in PBS) properties. Additionally, by harnessing the photo-crosslinking ability of the nanoparticles, the nanocomposite hydrogels were processed as microgels, which can be three-dimensionally (3D) printed into complex shapes. Furthermore, we demonstrated that these nanocomposite hydrogels are highly biocompatible, biodegradability, and can effectively promote fibroblast migration and accelerate blood vessel formation during wound healing. This work presents a promising approach to develop biomimetic, nanofibrillar soft hydrogels for regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels are currently a topic of great interest in bone tissue engineering, which could fill irregular bone defects in a short time and avoid traditional major surgery. Herein, we developed an injectable gellan gum (GG)-based hydrogel for bone defect repair by blending nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and magnesium sulfate (MgSO4). In order to acquire an injectable GG-based hydrogel with superior osteogenesis, nHA were blended into GG solution with an optimized proportion. For the aim of endowing this hydrogel capable of angiogenesis, MgSO4 was also incorporated. Physicochemical evaluation revealed that GG-based hydrogel containing 5% nHA (w/v) and 2.5 mM MgSO4 (GG/5%nHA/MgSO4) had appropriate sol-gel transition time, showed a porosity-like structure, and could release magnesium ions for at least 14 days. Rheological studies showed that the GG/5%nHA/MgSO4 hydrogel had a stable structure and repeatable self-healing properties. In-vitro results determined that GG/5%nHA/MgSO4 hydrogel presented superior ability on stimulating bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to differentiate into osteogenic linage and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) to generate vascularization. In-vivo, GG/5%nHA/MgSO4 hydrogel was evaluated via a rat cranial defect model, as shown by better new bone formation and more neovascularization invasion. Therefore, the study demonstrated that the new injectable hydrogel, is a favorable bioactive GG-based hydrogel, and provides potential strategies for robust therapeutic interventions to improve the repair of bone defect.

Abstract
In order to repair critical-sized bone defects, various polylactic acid-glycolic acid (PLGA)-based hybrid scaffolds are successfully developed as bone substitutes. However, the byproducts of these PLGA-based scaffolds are known to acidify the implanted site, inducing tiresome acidic inflammation. Moreover, these degradation productions cannot offer an osteo-friendly microenvironment at the implanted site, matching natural bone healing. Herein, inspired by bone microenvironment atlas of natural bone-healing process, an osteo-microenvironment stage-regulative scaffold (P80/D10/M10) is fabricated by incorporating self-developed decellularized bone matrix microparticles (DBM-MPs) and multifunctional magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles (MH-NPs) into PLGA with an optimized proportion using low-temperature rapid prototyping (LT-RP) 3D-printing technology. The cell experiments show that this P80/D10/M10 exhibits excellent properties in mechanics, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, meanwhile superior stimulations in osteo-immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Additionally, the animal experiments determined that this P80/D10/M10 can offer an osteo-friendly microenvironment in a stage-matched pattern for enhanced bone regeneration, namely, optimization of early inflammation, middle neovascularization, and later bone formation. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis suggested that the in vivo performance of P80/D10/M10 on bone defect repair is mostly attributed to regulating artery development, bone development, and bone remodeling. Overall, this study reveals that the osteo-microenvironment stage-regulative scaffold provides a promising treatment for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Bone defects are often difficult to treat due to their complexity and specificity, and therefore pose a serious threat to human life and health. Currently, the clinical treatment of bone defects is mainly surgical. However, this treatment is often more harmful to patients and there is a potential risk of rejection and infection. Hydrogels have a unique three-dimensional structure that can accommodate a variety of materials, including particles, polymers and small molecules, making them ideal for treating bone defects. Therefore, emerging composite hydrogels are considered one of the most promising candidates for the treatment of bone defects. This review describes the use of different types of composite hydrogel in the treatment of bone defects. We present the basic concepts of hydrogels, different preparation techniques (including chemical and physical crosslinking), and the clinical requirements for hydrogels used to treat bone defects. In addition, a review of numerous promising designs of different types of hydrogel doped with different materials (e.g., nanoparticles, polymers, carbon materials, drugs, and active factors) is also highlighted. Finally, the current challenges and prospects of composite hydrogels for the treatment of bone defects are presented. This review will stimulate research efforts in this field and promote the application of new methods and innovative ideas in the clinical field of composite hydrogels.

Abstract
Magnesium (Mg2+) is a crucial mineral involved in numerous cellular processes critical for neuronal health and function. This review explores the multifaceted roles of Mg2+, from its biochemical interactions at the cellular level to its impact on cognitive health and behavioral regulation. Mg2+ acts as a cofactor for over 300 enzymatic reactions, including those involved in ATP synthesis, nucleic acid stability, and neurotransmitter release. It regulates ion channels, modulates synaptic plasticity, and maintains the structural integrity of cell membranes, which are essential for proper neuronal signaling and synaptic transmission. Recent studies have highlighted the significance of Mg2+ in neuroprotection, showing its ability to attenuate oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and mitigate excitotoxicity, thereby safeguarding neuronal health. Furthermore, Mg2+ deficiency has been linked to a range of neuropsychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. Supplementation with Mg2+, particularly in the form of bioavailable compounds such as Magnesium-L-Threonate (MgLT), Magnesium-Acetyl-Taurate (MgAT), and other Magnesium salts, has shown some promising results in enhancing synaptic density, improving memory function, and alleviating symptoms of mental health disorders. This review highlights significant current findings on the cellular mechanisms by which Mg2+ exerts its neuroprotective effects and evaluates clinical and preclinical evidence supporting its therapeutic potential. By elucidating the comprehensive role of Mg2+ in neuronal health, this review aims to underscore the importance of maintaining optimal Mg2+ levels for cognitive function and behavioral regulation, advocating for further research into Mg2+ supplementation as a viable intervention for neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions.

Abstract
Zn and its alloys are receiving increasing interest for biodegradable orthopedic implant applications owing to their moderate corrosion rate and the potential functionality of Zn2+. However, their non-uniform corrosion behavior and insufficient osteogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties do not meet the comprehensive requirements of orthopedic implants in clinical use. Herein, an aspirin (an acetylsalicylic acid, ASA, 10, 50, 100, and 500 mg/L)-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC)/gelatin (Gel)-Zn2+ organometallic hydrogel composite coating (CMC/Gel&Zn2+/ASA) was fabricated on a Zn surface via an alternating dip-coating method, aiming to obtain a material with these comprehensive properties improved. The organometallic hydrogel composite coatings, ca. 12-16 μm in thickness, showed compact, homogeneous, and micro-bulge structured surface morphology. The coatings protected well the Zn substrate from pitting/localized corrosion and contained the release of the bioactive components, Zn2+ and ASA, in a sustained and stable manner in long-term in vitro immersions in Hank's solution. The coated Zn showed greater ability to promote proliferation and osteogenic differentiation for MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts, and better anti-inflammatory capacity when compared with uncoated Zn. Additionally, this coating displayed excellent antibacterial activity against both Escherichia coli (>99 % antibacterial rate) and Staphylococcus aureus (>98 % antibacterial rate). Such appealing properties can be attributed to the compositional nature of the coating, namely the sustained release of Zn2+ and ASA, as well as the surface physiochemical properties because of its unique microstructure. This organometallic hydrogel composite coating can be considered a promising option for the surface modification of biodegradable Zn-based orthopedic implants among others.

Abstract
In this study, gelation behavior and cytocompatibility of 2.5D chitosan hydrogels were investigated in the presence of TiO2, CeO2 and TiO2-CeO2 composite nanoparticles. Chemical co-precipitation method was used for nanoparticle synthesis and they were heat treated at 600 °C and 700 °C. Gelation of the chitosan solutions was carried out at 37 °C in the presence of glycerol phosphate and genipin as crosslinkers. The gelation time of chitosan was decreased by all of the nanoparticles whereas its elastic modulus was increased by nanoparticles addition. Chitosan solutions containing CeO2 or TiO2-CeO2 nanoparticles showed faster gel formation compared to chitosan solutions containing only TiO2 nanoparticles. CeO2@700 °C nanoparticles decreased the gelation time by 46% and increased elastic modulus by 14%. Average pore diameter of the hydrogel decreased from 127 ± 62 μm to 77 ± 33 μm, water uptake decreased 21% and thermal stability increased in the presence of CeO2@700 °C nanoparticles compared to chitosan hydrogel. Cell viability results indicated that chitosan hydrogels with or without nanoparticles created 2.5D environment supporting cellular proliferation approximately 1.5 times more than TCPS due to their high porous surfaces. Immunofluorescence images were also supported cell viability results. Therefore, CeO2 or TiO2-CeO2 composite nanoparticles incorporated 2.5D chitosan hydrogels may be alternative tissue engineering materials with their fast gelation, ease of use, low cost, light transparency, and cytocompatibility.

Abstract
An all-in-one therapy for cooperatively fighting cancer, infection and boosting wound repair is exceedingly demanded for patients with advanced superficial cancers or after surgical intervention to avoid multiple drug abuse and resultant adverse effects. Here, the ultrasound-activated nanosonosensitizer PHMP that integrated peroxymonosulfate (PMS) into the Pd-catalyzed hydrogenated mesoporous titanium dioxide (PHM) was dexterously designed for combined therapy of cancer and infected wound based on oxygen/sulfate dual-radical nanotherapy. Firstly, the PHM with single crystal structure and abundant oxygen deficiencies exhibited excellent ultrasound-excited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production for enhanced sonodynamic therapy (SDT) under the support of Pd nanozyme-mediated O2 supply. Simultaneously, the physically targeted ultrasound irradiation effectively transformed PMS loaded in the hollow cavities into distinct sulfate radical (•SO4-) with longer half-life and stronger oxidation, which remarkably enhanced the therapeutic efficacy of PHM-mediated SDT for cancer and bacteria. In addition, by embedding PHMP into the hydrogel, the enrichment of PHMP in the focal site was guaranteed, and meanwhile a moist and ventilated environment was created to speed up wound repair. The study broadens the potential of •SO4- in the therapeutic fields and contributes a simple and appealing tactic for the comprehensive treatment of cancer, infection and wound repair.

Abstract
Annually, millions of patients suffer from irreversible injury owing to the loss or failure of an organ or tissue caused by accident, aging, or disease. The combination of injectable hydrogels and the science of stem cells have emerged to address this persistent issue in society by generating minimally invasive treatments to augment tissue function. Hydrogels are composed of a cross-linked network of polymers that exhibit a high-water retention capacity, thereby mimicking the wet environment of native cells. Due to their inherent mechanical softness, hydrogels can be used as needle-injectable stem cell carrier materials to mend tissue defects. Hydrogels are made of different natural or synthetic polymers, displaying a broad portfolio of eligible properties, which include biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, shear-thinning properties as well as tunable biological and physicochemical properties. Presently, novel ongoing developments and native-like hydrogels are increasingly being used broadly to improve the quality of life of those with disabling tissue-related diseases. The present review outlines various future and in-vitro applications of injectable hydrogel-based biomaterials, focusing on the newest ongoing developments of in-situ forming injectable hydrogels for bone and cartilage tissue engineering purposes.

Abstract
The craniofacial region is composed of 23 bones, which provide crucial function in keeping the normal position of brain and eyeballs, aesthetics of the craniofacial complex, facial movements, and visual function. Given the complex geometry and architecture, craniofacial bone defects not only affect the normal craniofacial structure but also may result in severe craniofacial dysfunction. Therefore, the exploration of rapid, precise, and effective reconstruction of craniofacial bone defects is urgent. Recently, developments in advanced bone tissue engineering bring new hope for the ideal reconstruction of the craniofacial bone defects. This report, presenting a first-time comprehensive review of recent advances of biomaterials in craniofacial bone tissue engineering, overviews the modification of traditional biomaterials and development of advanced biomaterials applying to craniofacial reconstruction. Challenges and perspectives of biomaterial development in craniofacial fields are discussed in the end.

An injectable liposome-anchored teriparatide incorporated gallic acid-grafted gelatin hydrogel for osteoarthritis treatment. Nat Commun 2023; 14:3159.

Abstract
Intra-articular injection of therapeutics is an effective strategy for treating osteoarthritis (OA), but it is hindered by rapid drug diffusion, thereby necessitating high-frequency injections. Hence, the development of a biofunctional hydrogel for improved delivery is required. In this study, we introduce a liposome-anchored teriparatide (PTH (1-34)) incorporated into a gallic acid-grafted gelatin injectable hydrogel (GLP hydrogel). We show that the GLP hydrogel can form in situ and without affecting knee motion after intra-articular injection in mice. We demonstrate controlled, sustained release of PTH (1-34) from the GLP hydrogel. We find that the GLP hydrogel promotes ATDC5 cell proliferation and protects the IL-1β-induced ATDC5 cells from further OA progression by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Further, we show that intra-articular injection of hydrogels into an OA-induced mouse model promotes glycosaminoglycans synthesis and protects the cartilage from degradation, supporting the potential of this biomaterial for OA treatment.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1199939. [PMID: 37251563 PMCID: PMC10213409 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1199939] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/04/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The repair of wounds usually caused by trauma or other chronic diseases remained challenging in clinics due to the potential risk of inflammation and inadequate tissue regenerative properties. Among them, the behaviour of immune cells, such as macrophages, is critical in tissue repair. Materials and methods: In this study, a water-soluble phosphocreatine-grafted methacryloyl chitosan (CSMP) was synthesized with a one-step lyophilization method, followed by the fabrication of CSMP hydrogel with a photocrosslinked method. The microstructure, water absorption and mechanical properties for the hydrogels were investigated. Then, the macrophages were co-cultured with hydrogels and the pro-inflammatory factors and polarization markers for these macrophages were detected through real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot (WB), and flow cytometry methods. Finally, the CSMP hydrogel was implanted in a wound defect area in mice to test its ability to promote wound healing. Results: The lyophilized CSMP hydrogel had a porous structure with pores ranging in size from 200 to 400 μm, which was larger than the CSM hydrogel's. The lyophilized CSMP hydrogel possessed a higher water absorption rate compared with the CSM hydrogel. The compressive stress and modulus of these hydrogels were increased in the initial 7 days immersion and then gradually decreased during the in vitro immersion in PBS solution up to 21 days; the CSMP hydrogel showed a higher value in these parameters versus the CSM hydrogel. The CSMP hydrogel inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-12, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in an in vitro study cocultured with pro-inflammatory factors in pre-treated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMM). The mRNA sequencing results showed that the CSMP hydrogel might inhibit the macrophages' M1 type polarization through the NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, when compared to the control group, the CSMP hydrogel promoted more skin area repair in the mouse wound defect area, and inflammatory factors such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α were lower in the repaired tissue for the CSMP group. Conclusion: This phosphate-grafted chitosan hydrogel showed great promise for wound healing through regulating the macrophage's phenotype via the NF-κB signaling pathway.
