Abstract
Critical-sized bone defects represent a significant clinical challenge due to their inability to undergo spontaneous regeneration, necessitating graft interventions for effective treatment. The development of tissue-engineered scaffolds and regenerative medicine has made bone tissue engineering a highly viable treatment for bone defects. The physical and biological properties of nanocomposite biomaterials, which have optimized structures and the ability to simulate the regenerative microenvironment of bone, are promising for application in the field of tissue engineering. These biomaterials offer distinct advantages over traditional materials by facilitating cellular adhesion and proliferation, maintaining excellent osteoconductivity and biocompatibility, enabling precise control of degradation rates, and enhancing mechanical properties. Importantly, they can simulate the natural structure of bone tissue, including the specific microenvironment, which is crucial for promoting the repair and regeneration of bone defects. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the recent research developments and applications of structure-optimized and microenvironment-inspired nanocomposite biomaterials in bone tissue engineering. This review focuses on the properties and advantages these materials offer for bone repair and tissue regeneration, summarizing the latest progress in the application of nanocomposite biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and highlighting the challenges and future perspectives in the field. Through this analysis, the paper aims to underscore the promising potential of nanocomposite biomaterials in bone tissue engineering, contributing to the informed design and strategic planning of next-generation biomaterials for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Acquired cranial defects are a prevalent condition in neurosurgery and call for cranioplasty, where the missing or defective cranium is replaced by an implant. Nevertheless, the biomaterials in current clinical applications are hardly exempt from long-term safety and comfort concerns. An appealing solution is regenerative cranioplasty, where biomaterials with/without cells and bioactive molecules are applied to induce the regeneration of the cranium and ultimately repair the cranial defects. This review examines the current state of research, development, and translational application of regenerative cranioplasty biomaterials and discusses the efforts required in future research. The first section briefly introduced the regenerative capacity of the cranium, including the spontaneous bone regeneration bioactivities and the presence of pluripotent skeletal stem cells in the cranial suture. Then, three major types of biomaterials for regenerative cranioplasty, namely the calcium phosphate/titanium (CaP/Ti) composites, mineralised collagen, and 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) composites, are reviewed for their composition, material properties, and findings from clinical trials. The third part discusses perspectives on future research and development of regenerative cranioplasty biomaterials, with a considerable portion based on issues identified in clinical trials. This review aims to facilitate the development of biomaterials that ultimately contribute to a safer and more effective healing of cranial defects.

Abstract
Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is an emerging "carbon fixation" polymer that holds the potential to become a "biomaterial of choice" in healthcare owing to its good biocompatibility, tunable biodegradability and safe degradation products. However, the commercialization and wide application of PPC as a biomedical material are still hindered by its narrow processing temperature range, poor mechanical properties and hydrophobic nature. Over recent decades, several physical, chemical and biological modifications of PPC have been achieved by introducing biocompatible polymers, inorganic ions or small molecules, which can endow PPC with better cytocompatibility and desirable biodegradability, and thus enable various applications. Indeed, a variety of PPC-based degradable materials have been used in medical applications including medical masks, surgical gowns, drug carriers, wound dressings, implants and scaffolds. In this review, the molecular structure, catalysts for synthesis, properties and modifications of PPC are discussed. Recent biomedical applications of PPC-based biomaterials are highlighted and summarized.

Abstract
Lack of horizontal and vertical bone at the site of an implant can lead to significant clinical problems that need to be addressed before implant treatment can take place. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a commonly used surgical procedure that employs a barrier membrane to encourage the growth of new bone tissue in areas where bone has been lost due to injury or disease. It is a promising approach to achieve desired repair in bone tissue and is widely accepted and used in approximately 40% of patients with bone defects. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive examination of recent advances in resorbable membranes for GBR including natural materials such as chitosan, collagen, silk fibroin, along with synthetic materials such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and their copolymers. In addition, the properties of these materials including foreign body reaction, mechanical stability, antibacterial property, and growth factor delivery performance will be compared and discussed. Finally, future directions for resorbable membrane development and potential clinical applications will be highlighted.

Abstract
Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury causes excessive oxidative events and initiates destructive inflammatory responses, and it is an important promoter to the pathology of various pathema states. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent type of nonapoptotic cell death accompanied by the accumulation of membrane lipid peroxide and consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acid, and it plays a key role in I/R injury diseases. Moreover, the excessive production of inflammatory cytokines contributes to the development of acute kidney injury. Here, we reported neutrophil membrane-coated copper-based nanoparticles (N-Cu5.4O@DFO NPs) for I/R kidney injury treatment. The highly biocompatible and stable N-Cu5.4O@DFO NPs showed excellent antioxidant and iron ion scavenging abilities in vitro. Our finding showed that the N-Cu5.4O@DFO NPs strategy could significantly accumulate in the inflammatory kidney, reduce oxidative damage events and inflammatory response, and finally achieve synergistic therapy against renal I/R injury. This work promotes the development of nanoantioxidant agents with multiple antioxidant properties for the therapy of other I/R injury diseases.

Abstract
In this study, the procedure for treating the nonunion complication of scaphoid fractures using collagen/poly glycolic acid (CPGA) scaffolds with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) therapy was adopted and compared with the commonly employed autologous bone tissue graft. With conducting a two-armed clinical trial, 10 patients with scaphoid nonunions were enrolled in this investigation. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups treated with (1) CPGA + cell therapy and (2) autologous iliac crest bone graft standard therapy. Treatment outcomes were evaluated three months after surgery, measuring the grip and pinch strengths and wrist range of motion, with two questionnaires: Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE) and Quick form of Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QDASH). We have also assessed the union rate using clinical and radiologic healing criteria one and three months post-operatively. Restorative effects of CPGA + cell therapy were similar to those of the autologous bone graft standard therapy, except for the grip strength (P = 0.048) and QDASH score (P = 0.044) changes, which were higher in the CPGA + cell therapy group. Three months following the surgery, radiographic images and computed tomography (CT) scans also demonstrated that the scaphoid union rate in the test group was comparable to that of scaphoids treated with the standard autograft method. Our findings demonstrate that the CPGA + cell therapy is a potential alternative for bone grafting in the treatment of bone nonunions.

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

Abstract
The main problem of manufacturing with traditional biodegradable plastics is that it is more expensive than manufacturing with polymers derived from petroleum, and the application scope is currently limited due to poor comprehensive performance. In this study, a novel biodegradable poly(butylene adipic acid/terephthalate-co-glycolic acid) (PBATGA) copolyester with 25–60% glycolic acid units was successfully synthesized by esterification and polycondensation using cheap coal chemical byproduct methyl glycolate instead of expensive glycolic acid. The structure of the copolyester was characterized by ATR-FTIR, 1H NMR, DSC, and XRD; and its barrier property, water contact angle, heat resistance, and mechanical properties were tested. According to the experiment result, the PBATGA copolyesters showed improved oxygen (O2) and water vapor barrier character, and better hydrophilicity when compared with PBAT. The crystallization peaks of PBATGAs were elevated from 64 °C to 77 °C when the content of the GA unit was 25 mol %, meanwhile, the elongation at the break of PBATGA25 was more than 1300%. These results indicate that PBATGA copolyesters have good potentiality in high O2 and water vapor barrier and degradable packaging material.

Abstract
Biopolymer nanofiber membranes are attracting interest as promising biomaterial scaffolds with a remarkable range of structural and functional performances for guided bone regeneration (GBR). In this study, tussah silk nanofiber (TSn) and Bombyx mori silk nanofiber (BSn) membranes were prepared by physical shearing. The diameters of the TSn and BSn membranes were 146.09 ± 63.56 and 120.99 ± 91.32 nm, respectively. TSn showed a Young's modulus of 3.61 ± 0.64 GPa and a tensile strength of 74.27 ± 5.19 MPa, which were superior to those of BSn, with a Young's modulus of 0.16 ± 0.03 GPa and a tensile strength of 4.86 ± 0.61 MPa. The potential of TSn and BSn membranes to guide bone regeneration was explored. In vitro, the TSn membrane exhibited significantly higher cell proliferation for MC3T3-E1 cells than the BSn membrane. In a cranial bone defect in a rat model, the TSn and BSn membranes displayed superior bone regeneration compared to the control because the membrane prevented the ingrowth of soft tissue to the defective area. Compared to the BSn membrane, the TSn membrane improved damaged bone regeneration, presumably due to its superior mechanical properties, high osteoconductivity, and increased cell proliferation. The TSn membrane has a bionic structure, excellent mechanical properties, and greater biocompatibility, making it an ideal candidate for GBR.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM), comprising of hundreds of proteins, mainly collagen, provides physical, mechanical support for various cells and guides cell behavior as an interactive scaffold. However, deposition of ECM, especially collagen content, is seriously impaired in diabetic wounds, which cause inferior mechanical properties of the wound and further delay chronic wound healing. Thus, it is critical to develop ECM/collagen alternatives to remodel the mechanical properties of diabetic wounds and thus accelerate diabetic wound healing. Here, we firstly prepared mechanic-driven biodegradable PGA/SF nanofibrous scaffolds containing DFO for diabetic wound healing. In our study, the results in vitro showed that the PGA/SF-DFO scaffolds had porous three-dimensional nanofibrous structures, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, which would provide beneficial microenvironments for cell adhesion, growth, and migration as an ECM/collagen alternative. Furthermore, the data in vivo showed PGA/SF-DFO scaffolds can adhere well to the wound and have excellent biodegradability, which is helpful to avoid secondary damage by omitting the removal process of scaffolds. The finite element analysis results showed that the application of silk fibroin-based scaffolds could significantly reduce the maximum stress around the wound. Besides, PGA/SF-DFO scaffolds induced collagen deposition, re-vascularization, recovered impaired mechanical properties up to about 70%, and ultimately accelerated diabetic wound healing within 14 days. Thus, our work provides a promising therapeutic strategy for clinically chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is a rapidly developing field with potential for the regeneration of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bones, with 3D printing being a suitable fabrication tool for patient-specific implants. The CMF region includes a variety of different bones with distinct functions. The clinical implementation of tissue engineering concepts is currently poor, likely due to multiple reasons including the complexity of the CMF anatomy and biology, and the limited relevance of the currently used preclinical models. The 'recapitulation of a human disease' is a core requisite of preclinical animal models, but this aspect is often neglected, with a vast majority of studies failing to identify the specific clinical indication they are targeting and/or the rationale for choosing one animal model over another. Currently, there are no suitable guidelines that propose the most appropriate animal model to address a specific CMF pathology and no standards are established to test the efficacy of biomaterials or tissue engineered constructs in the CMF field. This review reports the current clinical scenario of CMF reconstruction, then discusses the numerous limitations of currently used preclinical animal models employed for validating 3D-printed tissue engineered constructs and the need to reduce animal work that does not address a specific clinical question. We will highlight critical research aspects to consider, to pave a clinically driven path for the development of new tissue engineered materials for CMF reconstruction.

Abstract
Bone development is a complex process involving a vast number of growth factors and chemical substances. These factors include transforming growth factor-beta, platelet-derived growth factor, insulin-like growth factor, and most importantly, the bone morphogenetic protein, which exhibits excellent therapeutic value in bone repair. However, the spatial-temporal relationship in the expression of these factors during bone formation makes the bone repair a more complicated process to address. Thus, using a single therapeutic agent to address bone formation does not seem to provide a clinically effective option. Conversely, a dual delivery approach facilitating the co-delivery of agents has proved to be a dynamic alternative since such a strategy can provide more efficient spatial-temporal action. Such delivery systems can smartly target more than one pathway or differentiation lineage and thus offer more efficient bone regeneration. This review discusses various dual delivery strategies reported in the literature employed to achieve improved bone regeneration. These include concurrent use of different therapeutic agents (including growth factors and drugs), enhancing bone formation and cell recruitment, and improving the efficiency of bone healing.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) technology is a commonly used surgical procedure for the repair of damaged periodontal tissues. Poor mechanical property and rapid degradation rate are the major reasons for GBR membrane failure in clinical applications. Herein, we applied a green papermaking method to fabricate silk fibroin (SF) membranes blended with collagen and tested their performance. The results showed that the blended SF75 (SF and collagen in a weight ratio of 75:25) membranes are biocompatible with good mechanical properties in the wet condition and appropriate biodegradation rate. MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation on the membranes were improved by the hybrid biological functions of SF and collagen. Subcutaneous implantation in rats for 9 weeks demonstrated that the membranes induced a less severe inflammatory response. The biodegradation time of the SF75 membranes was appropriate for tissue regeneration. This research, for the first time, reports a blended membrane prepared from silk fibroin and collagen with an ecofriendly method, which shows promise for application in guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymers have been rapidly developed for alleviating excessive consumption of non-degradable plastics. Additive manufacturing is also a green energy-efficiency and environment-protection technique to fabricate complicated structures. Herein, biodegradable polyesters, polyglycolic acid (PGA) and poly (butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) were blended and developed into feedstock for 3D printing. Under a set of formulations, PGA/PBAT blends exhibited a tailored stiffness-toughness mechanical performance. Then, PGA/PBAT (85/15 in weight ratio) with good thermal stability and mechanical property were extruded into filaments with a uniform wire diameter. Mechanical testing clearly indicated that FDM 3D-printed exhibited comparable tensile, flexural and impact properties with injection-molded samples of PGA/PBAT (85/15). Furthermore, uniform and graded Diamond-Triply Periodic Minimal Surfaces (D-TPMS) structures were designed and successfully manufactured via the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique. Computer tomography (CT) was employed to confirm the internal three-dimensional structures. The compressive test results showed that PGA/PBAT (85/15) D-surface structures bear better load-carrying capacity than that of neat PGA, giving an advantage of energy absorption. Additionally, typical industrial parts were manufactured with excellent dimension-stability, no-wrapping and fine quality. Collectively, biodegradable PGA/PBAT material with good printability has great potentials in application requiring stiffer structures.

Abstract
Poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) holds unique properties, including high gas barrier properties, high tensile strength, high resistance to common organic solvents, high heat distortion temperature, high stiffness, as well as fast biodegradability and compostability. Nevertheless, this polymer has not been exploited at a large scale due to its relatively high production cost. As such, the combination of PGA with other bioplastics on one hand could reduce the material final cost and on the other disclose new properties while maintaining its “green” features. With this in mind, in this work, PGA was combined with two of the most widely applied bioplastics, namely poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poycaprolactone (PCL), using the melt blending technique, which is an easily scalable method. FE-SEM measurements demonstrated the formation of PGA domains whose dimensions depended on the polymer matrix and which turned out to decrease by diminishing the PGA content in the mixture. Although there was scarce compatibility between the blend components, interestingly, PGA was found to affect both the thermal properties and the degradation behavior of the polymer matrices. In particular, concerning the latter property, the presence of PGA in the blends turned out to accelerate the hydrolysis process, particularly in the case of the PLLA-based systems.

Abstract
The fragility of silk fibroin film is a drawback to being used as a barrier membrane. Semi-resorbable barrier membranes maintain function longer than a resorbable membrane and no need to be removed. The study aimed to fabricate semi-resorbable membranes using silk fibroin with glycerol plasticizer (Group A), immobilized with fish collagen (Group B), and then characterized, in vitro biocompatibility tested, and compared with a commercial collagen membrane (Group C). Group B showed more roughness (0.2155 µm) than Group A (0.1424 µm). Group A was more hydrophilic (76.75° ± 3.07°) and more stiffness (28.93% ± 15.56%) than Group B (112.67° ± 1.94°, 42.10% ± 11.46%) and C (54.79% ± 13.44%) without significant difference. Group C had a significantly higher (p < 0.05) swelling degree and less degradation rate than others. Group A showed significantly highest (p < 0.05) cell proliferation. Group C showed more alkaline phosphatase activity than others but no significant difference in osteocalcin and Alizarin Red activity on day 21. The semi-resorbable membrane based on silk fibroin-glycerol possessed good physical and mechanical properties, and well-supported osteoblastic cell proliferation and differentiation.

Abstract
The periosteum is rich in vascular networks, osteoprogenitor cells, and stem cells and plays an important role in bone defect repair. However, existing artificial periosteum materials still have difficulty in meeting clinical requirements, such as good mechanical properties and bionic structure construction, osteogenic differentiation, and vascularization capabilities. Here, a poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL)/whitlockite (WH, 5, 10, 15 wt %) artificial periosteum with different doping amounts was prepared by electrospinning technology. According to the results of in vitro mineralization experiments, the rapid ion release from WH promotes the deposition of mineralized hydroxyapatite. Inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy, in vitro angiogenesis, and cell migration experiments showed that the bionic periosteum of the 15% WH group had the best release rate of Mg2+ and the best ability to promote the human umbilical vein endothelial cell angiogenesis and migration. In addition, this group promoted collagen formation and calcium deposition. Finally, the subcutaneous implantation model was used to verify the biocompatibility and angiogenesis ability of the proposed membrane in vivo. Overall, this biomimetic PCL/WH nanofiber membrane combines the positive osteogenic differentiation ability and angiogenic ability of calcium phosphate materials and thus has good application prospects in the field of periosteal repair in the future.

Abstract
Melt electrospinning has been developed in the last decade as an eco-friendly and solvent-free process to fill the gap between the advantages of solution electrospinning and the need of a cost-effective technique for industrial applications. Although the benefits of using melt electrospinning compared to solution electrospinning are impressive, there are still challenges that should be solved. These mainly concern to the improvement of polymer melt processability with reduction of polymer degradation and enhancement of fiber stability; and the achievement of a good control over the fiber size and especially for the production of large scale ultrafine fibers. This review is focused in the last research works discussing the different melt processing techniques, the most significant melt processing parameters, the incorporation of different additives (e.g., viscosity and conductivity modifiers), the development of polymer blends and nanocomposites, the new potential applications and the use of drug-loaded melt electrospun scaffolds for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is a highly multidisciplinary field that focuses on novel regenerative treatments and seeks to tackle problems relating to tissue growth both in vitro and in vivo. These issues currently involve the replacement and regeneration of defective tissues, as well as drug testing and other related bioapplications. The key approach in TE is to employ artificial structures (scaffolds) to support tissue development; these constructs should be capable of hosting, protecting and releasing bioactives that guide cellular behaviour. A straightforward approach to integrating bioactives into the scaffolds is discussed utilising polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules (PEMCs). Herein, this review illustrates the recent progress in the use of CaCO3 vaterite-templated PEMCs for the fabrication of functional scaffolds for TE applications, including bone TE as one of the main targets of PEMCs. Approaches for PEMC integration into scaffolds is addressed, taking into account the formulation, advantages, and disadvantages of such PEMCs, together with future perspectives of such architectures.
