Bioceramic-mediated chondrocyte hypertrophy promotes calcified cartilage formation for rabbit osteochondral defect repair. Bioact Mater 2024; 40:306-317. [PMID: 38978806 PMCID: PMC11228467 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.06.018] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 05/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Osteochondral tissue is a highly specialized and complex tissue composed of articular cartilage and subchondral bone that are separated by a calcified cartilage interface. Multilayered or gradient scaffolds, often in conjunction with stem cells and growth factors, have been developed to mimic the respective layers for osteochondral defect repair. In this study, we designed a hyaline cartilage-hypertrophic cartilage bilayer graft (RGD/RGDW) with chondrocytes. Previously, we demonstrated that RGD peptide-modified chondroitin sulfate cryogel (RGD group) is chondro-conductive and capable of hyaline cartilage formation. Here, we incorporated whitlockite (WH), a Mg2+-containing calcium phosphate, into RGD cryogel (RGDW group) to induce chondrocyte hypertrophy and form collagen X-rich hypertrophic cartilage. This is the first study to use WH to produce hypertrophic cartilage. Chondrocytes-laden RGDW cryogel exhibited significantly upregulated expression of hypertrophy markers in vitro and formed ectopic hypertrophic cartilage in vivo, which mineralized into calcified cartilage in bone microenvironment. Subsequently, RGD cryogel and RGDW cryogel were combined into bilayer (RGD/RGDW group) and implanted into rabbit osteochondral defect, where RGD layer supports hyaline cartilage regeneration and bioceramic-containing RGDW layer promotes calcified cartilage formation. While the RGD group (monolayer) formed hyaline-like neotissue that extends into the subchondral bone, the RGD/RGDW group (bilayer) regenerated hyaline cartilage tissue confined to its respective layer and promoted osseointegration for integrative defect repair.

Abstract
Three-dimensional bioprinting represents an innovative platform for fabricating intricate, three-dimensional (3D) tissue structures that closely resemble natural tissues. The development of hybrid bioinks is an actionable strategy for integrating desirable characteristics of components. In this study, cellulose recovered from plum seed was processed to synthesize carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for 3D bioprinting. The plum seeds were initially subjected to α-cellulose recovery, followed by the synthesis and characterization of plum seed-derived carboxymethyl cellulose (PCMC). Then, hybrid bioinks composed of PCMC and sodium alginate were fabricated, and their suitability for extrusion-based bioprinting was explored. The PCMC bioinks exhibit a remarkable shear-thinning property, enabling effortless extrusion through the nozzle and maintaining excellent initial shape fidelity. This bioink was then used to print muscle-mimetic 3D structures containing C2C12 cells. Subsequently, the cytotoxicity of PCMC was evaluated at different concentrations to determine the maximum acceptable concentration. As a result, cytotoxicity was not observed in hydrogels containing a suitable concentration of PCMC. Cell viability was also evaluated after printing PCMC-containing bioinks, and it was observed that the bioprinting process caused minimal damage to the cells. This suggests that PCMC/alginate hybrid bioink can be used as a very attractive material for bioprinting applications.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering using stem cells to build bone directly on a scaffold matrix often fails due to lack of oxygen at the injury site. This may be avoided by following the endochondral ossification route; herein, a cartilage template is promoted first, which can survive hypoxic environments, followed by its hypertrophy and ossification. However, hypertrophy is so far only achieved using biological factors. This work introduces a Bioglass-Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid@fibrin (Bg-PLGA@fibrin) construct where a fibrin hydrogel infiltrates and encapsulates a porous Bg-PLGA. The hypothesis is that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) loaded in the fibrin gel and induced into chondrogenesis degrade the gel and become hypertrophic upon reaching the stiffer, bioactive Bg-PLGA core, without external induction factors. Results show that Bg-PLGA@fibrin induces hypertrophy, as well as matrix mineralization and osteogenesis; it also promotes a change in morphology of the MSCs at the gel/scaffold interface, possibly a sign of osteoblast-like differentiation of hypertrophic chondrocytes. Thus, the Bg-PLGA@fibrin construct can sequentially support the different phases of endochondral ossification purely based on material cues. This may facilitate clinical translation by decreasing in-vitro cell culture time pre-implantation and the complexity associated with the use of external induction factors.

Abstract
The design of a biomimetic scaffold is a major challenge in tissue engineering to promote tissue reconstruction. The use of synthetic polymer nanofibers is widely described as they provide biocompatible matrices whose topography mimics natural extracellular matrix (ECM). To closely match the biochemical composition of the ECM, bioactive molecules such as gelatin are added to the nanofibers to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation. To overcome the rapid solubilization of gelatin in biological fluids and to allow a lasting biological effect, the covalent crosslinking of this macromolecule in the network is crucial. The sol-gel route offers the possibility of gentle crosslinking during shaping but is rarely combined with electrospinning. In this study, we present the creation of Poly(lactic acid)/Gelatin hybrid nanofibers by sol-gel route during electrospinning. To enable sol-gel crosslinking, we synthesized star-shaped PLA and functionalized it with silane groups; then we functionalized gelatin with the same groups for their subsequent reaction with the polymer and thus the creation of the hybrid nanonetwork. We evaluated the impact of the presence of gelatin in Poly(lactic acid)/Gelatin hybrid nanofibers at different percentages on the mechanical properties, nanonetwork crosslinking, degradation and biological properties of the hybrid nanofibers. The addition of gelatin modulated nanonetwork crosslinking that impacted the stiffness of the nanofibers, resulting in softer materials for the cells. Moreover, these hybrid nanofibers also showed a significant improvement in fibroblast proliferation and present a degradation rate suitable for tissue reconstruction. Finally, the bioactive hybrid nanofibers possess versatile properties, interesting for various potential applications in tissue reconstruction.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting holds great promise for tissue engineering, allowing cells to thrive in a 3D environment. However, the applicability of natural polymers such as silk fibroin (SF) in 3D bioprinting faces hurdles due to limited mechanical strength and printability. SF, derived from the silkworm Bombyx mori, is emerging as a potential bioink due to its inherent physical gelling properties. However, research on inducing thermosensitive behavior in SF-based bioinks and tailoring their mechanical properties to specific tissue requirements is notably lacking. This study addresses these gaps through the development of silk fibroin-based thermosensitive bioinks (SF-TPBs). Precise modulation of gelation time and mechanical robustness is achieved by manipulating glycerol content without recourse to cross-linkers. Chemical analysis confirms β-sheet conformation in SF-TPBs independent of glycerol concentration. Increased glycerol content improves gelation kinetics and results in rheological properties suitable for 3D printing. Overall, SF-TPBs offer promising prospects for realizing the potential of 3D bioprinting using natural polymers.

Abstract
Tumor metastasis is a multiple cascade process where tumor cells disseminate from the primary site to distant organs and subsequently adapt to the foreign microenvironment. Simulating the physiology of tumor metastatic events in a realistic and three-dimensional (3D) manner is a challenge for in vitro modeling. 3D bioprinting strategies, which can generate well-customized and bionic structures, enable the exploration of dynamic tumor metastasis process in a species-homologous, high-throughput and reproducible way. In this review, we summarize the recent application of 3D bioprinting in constructing in vitro tumor metastatic models and discuss its advantages and current limitations. Further perspectives on how to harness the potential of accessible 3D bioprinting strategies to better model tumor metastasis and guide anti-cancer therapies are also provided.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is theoretically thought to be a promising method for the reconstruction of biological joints, and thus, offers a potential treatment alternative for advanced osteoarthritis. However, to date, no significant progress is made in the regeneration of large biological joints. In the current study, a biomimetic scaffold for rabbit humeral head regeneration consisting of heterogeneous porous architecture, various bioinks, and different hard supporting materials in the cartilage and bone regions is designed and fabricated in one step using 3D bioprinting technology. Furthermore, orchestrated dynamic mechanical stimulus combined with different biochemical cues (parathyroid hormone [PTH] and chemical component hydroxyapatite [HA] in the outer and inner region, respectively) are used for dual regulation of endochondral ossification. Specifically, dynamic mechanical stimulus combined with growth factor PTH in the outer region inhibits endochondral ossification and results in cartilage regeneration, whereas dynamic mechanical stimulus combined with HA in the inner region promotes endochondral ossification and results in efficient subchondral bone regeneration. The strategy established in this study with the dual modulation of endochondral ossification for 3D bioprinted anisotropic scaffolds represents a versatile and scalable approach for repairing large joints.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofiber mats have attracted intense attention as advanced wound dressing materials. The objective of this study was to fabricate methacrylated gelatin (MeGel)/poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) hybrid nanofiber mats with an extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking nanofibrous structure and hydrogel-like properties for potential use as wound dressing materials. MeGel was first synthesized via the methacryloyl substitution of gelatin (Gel), a series of MeGel and PLLA blends with various mass ratios were electrospun into nanofiber mats, and a UV crosslinking process was subsequently utilized to stabilize the MeGel components in the nanofibers. All the as-crosslinked nanofiber mats exhibited smooth and bead-free fiber morphologies. The MeGel-containing and crosslinked nanofiber mats presented significantly improved hydrophilic properties (water contact angle = 0°; 100% wettability) compared to the pure PLLA nanofiber mats (~127°). The swelling ratio of crosslinked nanofiber mats notably increased with the increase of MeGel (143.6 ± 7.4% for PLLA mats vs. 875.0 ± 17.1% for crosslinked 1:1 MeGel/PLLA mats vs. 1135.2 ± 16.0% for crosslinked MeGel mats). The UV crosslinking process was demonstrated to significantly improve the structural stability and mechanical properties of MeGel/PLLA nanofiber mats. The Young's modulus and ultimate strength of the crosslinked nanofiber mats were demonstrated to obviously decrease when more MeGel was introduced in both dry and wet conditions. The biological tests showed that all the crosslinked nanofiber mats presented great biocompatibility, but the crosslinked nanofiber mats with more MeGel were able to notably promote the attachment, growth, and proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts. Overall, this study demonstrates that our MeGel/PLLA blend nanofiber mats are attractive candidates for wound dressing material research and application.

Abstract
Human lungs are organs with an intricate hierarchical structure and complex composition; lungs also present heterogeneous mechanical properties that impose dynamic stress on different tissue components during the process of breathing. These physiological characteristics combined create a system that is challenging to model in vitro. Many efforts have been dedicated to develop reliable models that afford a better understanding of the structure of the lung and to study cell dynamics, disease evolution, and drug pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics in the lung. This review presents methodologies used to develop lung tissue models, highlighting their advantages and current limitations, focusing on 3D bioprinting as a promising set of technologies that can address current challenges. 3D bioprinting can be used to create 3D structures that are key to bridging the gap between current cell culture methods and living tissues. Thus, 3D bioprinting can produce lung tissue biomimetics that can be used to develop in vitro models and could eventually produce functional tissue for transplantation. Yet, printing functional synthetic tissues that recreate lung structure and function is still beyond the current capabilities of 3D bioprinting technology. Here, the current state of 3D bioprinting is described with a focus on key strategies that can be used to exploit the potential that this technology has to offer. Despite today's limitations, results show that 3D bioprinting has unexplored potential that may be accessible by optimizing bioink composition and looking at the printing process through a holistic and creative lens.

[PMID: 34452101 PMCID: PMC8400409 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics13081139] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2021] [Revised: 07/15/2021] [Accepted: 07/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Chondrocyte hypertrophy is one of the key indicators in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). However, compared with other OA indications, such as cartilage collapse, sclerosis, inflammation, and protease activation, the mechanisms by which chondrocyte hypertrophy contributes to OA remain elusive. As the pathological processes in the OA cartilage microenvironment, such as the alterations in the extracellular matrix, are initiated and dictated by the physiological state of the chondrocytes, in-depth knowledge of chondrocyte hypertrophy is necessary to enhance our understanding of the disease pathology and develop therapeutic agents. Chondrocyte hypertrophy is a factor that induces OA progression; it is also a crucial factor in the endochondral ossification. This review elaborates on this dual functionality of chondrocyte hypertrophy in OA progression and endochondral ossification through a description of the characteristics of various genes and signaling, their mechanism, and their distinguishable physiological effects. Chondrocyte hypertrophy in OA progression leads to a decrease in chondrogenic genes and destruction of cartilage tissue. However, in endochondral ossification, it represents an intermediate stage at the process of differentiation of chondrocytes into osteogenic cells. In addition, this review describes the current therapeutic strategies and their mechanisms, involving genes, proteins, cytokines, small molecules, three-dimensional environments, or exosomes, against the OA induced by chondrocyte hypertrophy. Finally, this review proposes that the contrasting roles of chondrocyte hypertrophy are essential for both OA progression and endochondral ossification, and that this cellular process may be targeted to develop OA therapeutics.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix is a highly complex microenvironment, whose various components converge to regulate cell fate. Hydrogels, as water-swollen polymer networks composed by synthetic or natural materials, are ideal candidates to create biologically active substrates that mimic these matrices and target cell behaviour for a desired tissue engineering application. Indeed, the ability to tune their mechanical, structural, and biochemical properties provides a framework to recapitulate native tissues. This review explores how hydrogels have been engineered to harness the chondrogenic response of stem cells for the repair of damaged cartilage tissue. The signalling processes involved in hydrogel-driven chondrogenesis are also discussed, identifying critical pathways that should be taken into account during hydrogel design.

Abstract
Following traumatic or ischemic brain injury, rapid cell death and extracellular matrix degradation lead to the formation of a cavity at the brain lesion site, which is responsible for prolonged neurological deficits and permanent disability. Transplantation of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSCs) represents a promising strategy for reconstructing the lesion cavity and promoting tissue regeneration. In particular, the promotion of neuronal migration, organization, and integration of transplanted NSCs is critical to the success of stem cell-based therapy. This is particularly important for the cerebral cortex, the most common area involved in brain injuries, because the highly organized structure of the cerebral cortex is essential to its function. Biomaterials-based strategies show some promise for conditioning the lesion site microenvironment to support transplanted stem cells, but the progress in demonstrating organized cell engraftment and integration into the brain is very limited. An effective approach to sufficiently address these challenges has not yet been developed. Here, we have implemented a digital light-processing-based 3D printer and printed hydrogel scaffolds with a designed shape, uniaxially aligned microchannels, and tunable mechanical properties. We demonstrated the capacity to achieve high shape precision to the lesion site with brain tissue-matching mechanical properties. We also established spatial control of bioactive molecule distribution within 3D printed hydrogel scaffolds. These printed hydrogel scaffolds have shown high neuro-compatibility with aligned neuronal outgrowth along with the microchannels. This study will provide a biomaterial-based approach that can serve as a protective and guidance vehicle for transplanted NSC organization and integration for brain tissue regeneration after injuries.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a revolutionary additive manufacturing technique that allows rapid prototyping of objects with intricate architectures. This Review covers the recent state-of-the-art of biopolymers (protein and carbohydrate-based materials) application in pharmaceutical, bioengineering, and food printing and main reinforcement approaches of biomacromolecular structure for the development of 3D constructs. Some perspectives and main important limitations with the biomaterials utilization for advanced 3D printing procedures are also provided. Because of the improved the ink's flow behavior and enhance the mechanical strength of resulting printed architectures, biopolymers are the most used materials for 3D printing applications. Biobased polymers by taking advantage of modifying the ink viscosity could improve the resolution of deposited layers, printing precision, and consequently, develop well-defined geometries. In this regard, the rheological properties of printable biopolymeric-based inks and factors affecting ink flow behavior related to structural properties of printed constructs are discussed. On the basis of successful applications of biopolymers in 3D printing, it is suggested that other biomacromolecules and nanoparticles combined with the matrix can be introduced into the ink dispersions to enhance the multifunctionality of 3D structures. Furthermore, tuning the biopolymer's structural properties offers the most common and essential approach to attain the printed architectures with precisely tailored geometry. We finish the Review by giving a viewpoint of the upcoming 3D printing process and recognize some of the existing bottlenecks facing the blossoming 3D pharmaceutical, bioengineering, and food printing applications.

Abstract
Traditional bone tissue engineering (BTE) strategies induce direct bone-like matrix formation by mimicking the embryological process of intramembranous ossification. However, the clinical translation of these clinical strategies for bone repair is hampered by limited vascularization and poor bone regeneration after implantation in vivo. An alternative strategy for overcoming these drawbacks is engineering cartilaginous constructs by recapitulating the embryonic processes of endochondral ossification (ECO); these constructs have shown a unique ability to survive under hypoxic conditions as well as induce neovascularization and ossification. Such developmentally engineered constructs can act as transient biomimetic templates to facilitate bone regeneration in critical-sized defects. This review introduces the concept and mechanism of developmental BTE, explores the routes of endochondral bone graft engineering, highlights the current state of the art in large bone defect reconstruction via ECO-based strategies, and offers perspectives on the challenges and future directions of translating current knowledge from the bench to the bedside.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is the term used to refer to tendon disorders. Spontaneous adult tendon healing results in scar tissue formation and fibrosis with suboptimal biomechanical properties, often resulting in poor and painful mobility. The biomechanical properties of the tissue are negatively affected. Adult tendons have a limited natural healing capacity, and often respond poorly to current treatments that frequently are focused on exercise, drug delivery, and surgical procedures. Therefore, it is of great importance to identify key molecular and cellular processes involved in the progression of tendinopathies to develop effective therapeutic strategies and drive the tissue toward regeneration. To treat tendon diseases and support tendon regeneration, cell-based therapy as well as tissue engineering approaches are considered options, though none can yet be considered conclusive in their reproduction of a safe and successful long-term solution for full microarchitecture and biomechanical tissue recovery. In vitro differentiation techniques are not yet fully validated. This review aims to compare different available tendon in vitro differentiation strategies to clarify the state of art regarding the differentiation process.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has recently advanced as an important tool to produce viable constructs that can be used for regenerative purposes or as tissue models. To develop biomimetic and sustainable 3D constructs, several important processing aspects need to be considered, among which crosslinking is most important for achieving desirable biomechanical stability of printed structures, which is reflected in subsequent behavior and use of these constructs. In this work, crosslinking methods used in 3D bioprinting studies are reviewed, parameters that affect bioink chemistry are discussed, and the potential toward improving crosslinking outcomes and construct performance is highlighted. Furthermore, current challenges and future prospects are discussed. Due to the direct connection between crosslinking methods and properties of 3D bioprinted structures, this Review can provide a basis for developing necessary modifications to the design and manufacturing process of advanced tissue-like constructs in future.

Abstract
Repairing massive rotator cuff tendon defects remains a challenge due to the high retear rate after surgical intervention. 3D printing has emerged as a promising technique that enables the fabrication of engineered tissues with heterogeneous structures and mechanical properties, as well as controllable microenvironments for tendon regeneration. In this study, we developed a new strategy for rotator cuff tendon repair by combining a 3D printed scaffold of polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) with cell-laden collagen-fibrin hydrogels. We designed and fabricated two types of scaffolds: one featuring a separate layer-by-layer structure and another with a tri-layered structure as a whole. Uniaxial tensile tests showed that both types of scaffolds had improved mechanical properties compared to single-layered PLGA scaffolds. The printed scaffold with collagen-fibrin hydrogels effectively supported the growth, proliferation, and tenogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Subcutaneous implantation of the multilayered scaffolds demonstrated their excellent in vivo biocompatibility. This study demonstrates the feasibility of 3D printing multilayered scaffolds for application in rotator cuff tendon regeneration.

Abstract
Interfaces between soft tissue and bone are characterized by transitional gradients in composition and structure that mediate substantial changes in mechanical properties. For interfacial tissue engineering, scaffolds with mineral gradients have shown promise in controlling osteogenic behavior of seeded bone marrow stromal cells (bMSCs). Previously, we have demonstrated a 'top-down' method for creating monolithic bone-derived scaffolds with patterned mineral distributions similar to native tissue. In the present work, we evaluated the ability of these scaffolds to pattern osteogenic behavior in bMSCs in basic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic biochemical environments. Immunohistochemical (IHC) and histological stains were used to characterize cellular behavior as a function of local mineral content. Alkaline phosphatase, an early marker of osteogenesis, and osteocalcin, a late marker of osteogenesis, were positively correlated with mineral content in basic, osteogenic, and chondrogenic media. The difference in bMSC behavior between the mineralized and demineralized regions was most pronounced in an basic biochemical environment. In the mineralized regions of the scaffold, osteogenic markers were clearly present as early as 4 days in culture. In osteogenic media, osteogenic behavior was observed across the entire scaffold, whereas in chondrogenic media, there was an overall reduction in osteogenic biomarkers. Overall, these results indicate local mineral content of the scaffold plays a key role in spatially patterning bMSC behavior. Our results can be utilized for the development of interfacial tissue engineered scaffolds and understanding the role of local environment in determining bMSC behavior. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Soft tissue-to-bone interfaces, such as tendon-bone, ligament-bone, and cartilage-bone, are ubiquitous in mammalian musculoskeletal systems. These interfacial tissues have distinct, hierarchically-structured gradients of cellular, biochemical, and materials components. Given the complexity of the biological structures, interfacial tissues present unique challenges for tissue engineering. Here, we demonstrate that material-derived cues can spatially pattern osteogenic behavior in bone marrow stromal cells (bMSCs). Specifically, we observed that when the bMSCs are cultured on bone-derived scaffolds with mineral gradients, cells in contact with higher mineral content display osteogenic behavior at earlier times than those on the unmineralized substrate. The ability to pattern the cellular complexity found in native interfaces while maintaining biologically relevant structures is a key step towards creating engineered tissue interfaces.

Abstract
The development of extrusion-based bioprinting for tissue engineering is conditioned by the design of bioinks displaying adequate printability, shape stability, and postprinting bioactivity. In this context, simple bioink formulations, made of cells supported by a polymer matrix, often lack the necessary versatility. To address this issue, intense research work has been focused on introducing colloidal particles into the ink formulation. By creating weak cross-links between polymer chains, added particles modify the rheology and mechanical behavior of bioinks to improve their printability and structural integrity. Additionally, nano- and microscopic particles display composition- and structure-specific properties that can affect the cellular behavior and enhance the formation of tissue within the printed material. This Review offers a comprehensive picture of the role of colloids in bioprinting from a physicochemical and biological perspective. As such, it provides guidance on devising adaptable bioinks for the fabrication of biomimetic tissues.

Abstract
Functional reconstruction of craniomaxillofacial defects is challenging, especially for the patients who suffer from traumatic injury, cranioplasty, and oncologic surgery. Three-dimensional (3D) printing/bioprinting technologies provide a promising tool to fabricate bone tissue engineering constructs with complex architectures and bioactive components. In this study, we implemented multi-material 3D printing to fabricate 3D printed PCL/hydrogel composite scaffolds loaded with dual bioactive small molecules (i.e. resveratrol and strontium ranelate). The incorporated small molecules are expected to target several types of bone cells. We systematically studied the scaffold morphologies and small molecule release profiles. We then investigated the effects of the released small molecules from the drug loaded scaffolds on the behavior and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), monocyte-derived osteoclasts, and endothelial cells. The 3D printed scaffolds, with and without small molecules, were further implanted into a rat model with a critical-sized mandibular bone defect. We found that the bone scaffolds containing the dual small molecules had combinational advantages in enhancing angiogenesis and inhibiting osteoclast activities, and they synergistically promoted MSC osteogenic differentiation. The dual drug loaded scaffolds also significantly promoted in vivo mandibular bone formation after 8 week implantation. This work presents a 3D printing strategy to fabricate engineered bone constructs, which can likely be used as off-the-shelf products to promote craniomaxillofacial regeneration.

Abstract
Resorbable bone cements are replaced by bone osteoclastic resorption and osteoblastic new bone formation near the periphery. However, the ideal bone cement would be replaced by new bone through processes similar to fracture repair, which occurs through a variable combination of endochondral and intramembranous ossification. In this study, nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite (nHA)-poly(thioketal urethane) (PTKUR) cements were implanted in femoral defects in New Zealand White rabbits to evaluate ossification at 4, 12, and 18 months. Four formulations were tested: an injectable, flowable cement and three moldable putties with varying ratios of calcium phosphate to sucrose granules. New bone formation and resorption of the cement by osteoclasts occurred near the periphery. Stevenel's Blue and Safranin O staining revealed infiltration of chondrocytes into the cements and ossification of the cartilaginous intermediate. These findings suggest that nHA-PTKUR cements support combined intramembranous and endochondral ossification, resulting in enhanced osseointegration of the cement that could potentially improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
There is an urgent, clinical need for an alternative to the use of autologous grafts for the ever increasing number of bone grafting procedures performed annually. Herein, we describe a developmentally inspired approach to bone tissue engineering, which focuses on leveraging biomaterials as platforms for recapitulating the process of endochondral ossification. To begin, we describe the traditional biomaterial-based approaches to tissue engineering that have been investigated as methods to promote in vivo bone regeneration, including the use of three-dimensional biomimetic scaffolds, the delivery of growth factors and recombinant proteins, and the in vitro engineering of mineralized bone-like tissue. Thereafter, we suggest that some of the hurdles encountered by these traditional tissue engineering approaches may be circumvented by modulating the endochondral route to bone repair and, to that end, we assess various biomaterials that can be used in combination with cells and signaling factors to engineer hypertrophic cartilaginous grafts capable of promoting endochondral bone formation. Finally, we examine the emerging trends in biomaterial-based approaches to endochondral bone regeneration, such as the engineering of anatomically shaped templates for bone and osteochondral tissue engineering, the fabrication of mechanically reinforced constructs using emerging three-dimensional bioprinting techniques, and the generation of gene-activated scaffolds, which may accelerate the field towards its ultimate goal of clinically successful bone organ regeneration.

Abstract
Craniotomy involves the removal of a skull fragment to access the brain, such as during tumor or epilepsy surgery, which is immediately replaced intraoperatively. The infection incidence after craniotomy ranges from 0.8 to 3%, with approximately half caused by Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus). To mitigate infectious complications following craniotomy, we engineered a three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted bone scaffold to harness the potent antibacterial activity of macrophages (MΦs) together with antibiotics using a mouse S. aureus craniotomy-associated biofilm model that establishes a persistent infection on the bone flap, subcutaneous galea, and brain. The 3D scaffold contained rifampin and daptomycin printed in a composite slurry, with viable MΦs incorporated into a hydrogel-based bioink, which was assessed for both the treatment and prevention of craniotomy-associated infections in the mouse model. For the treatment paradigm, the bone flap was removed at day 7 post infection after a mature biofilm had formed and was replaced with a 3D printed antibiotic scaffold, with or without MΦ incorporation. Bacterial burdens in the galea and brain were reduced by at least 100-fold at early time points, which was potentiated by bioprinting viable MΦs into the 3D antibiotic scaffold. We also examined a prevention paradigm, where the scaffolds were placed at the time of surgery and challenged with S. aureus one day later at the surgical site. Interestingly, unlike the treatment paradigm, the incorporation of viable MΦs into the 3D antibiotic scaffold did not enhance bacterial clearance compared to that of antibiotic alone. With further refinement, our 3D bioprinted scaffold represents a potential treatment modality, as it delivers therapeutic antibiotic levels more rapidly than systemic administration, based on its proximity to the infection site. In addition, the incorporation of viable MΦs into the 3D scaffold is an important advance, which demonstrated an improved therapeutic benefit for the treatment of established biofilms that represent the most clinically challenging scenario.

Abstract
Over the recent years, the advent of 3D bioprinting technology has marked a milestone in osteochondral tissue engineering (TE) research. Nowadays, the traditional used techniques for osteochondral regeneration remain to be inefficient since they cannot mimic the complexity of joint anatomy and tissue heterogeneity of articular cartilage. These limitations seem to be solved with the use of 3D bioprinting which can reproduce the anisotropic extracellular matrix (ECM) and heterogeneity of this tissue. In this chapter, we present the most commonly used 3D bioprinting approaches and then discuss the main criteria that biomaterials must meet to be used as suitable bioinks, in terms of mechanical and biological properties. Finally, we highlight some of the challenges that this technology must overcome related to osteochondral bioprinting before its clinical implementation.
