Abstract
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligaments, renowned for their superior mechanical properties, have been extensively adopted in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgeries. However, the inherent bio-inertness of PET introduces formidable barriers to graft-bone integration, a critical aspect of rehabilitation. Previous interventions, ranging from surface roughening to chemical modifications, have aimed to address this challenge; however, consistently effective techniques for inducing graft-bone integration remain scarce. Our study employed advanced surface-coating methodologies to introduce strontium-doped hydroxyapatite (SrHA) onto PET ligaments. Detailed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examinations revealed a uniform and integrative coating of SrHA on PET fibers. Furthermore, spectroscopic analysis confirmed the steady release of strontium ions from the coated surface under physiological conditions. In-depth cellular studies proved that extracellular strontium emanating from SrHA-coated PET (PET@SrHA) ligaments actively steers the M2 macrophage polarization. Additionally, macrophages (Mφs) manifested a heightened secretion of prohealing cytokines when exposed to PET@SrHA. Subsequent investigations showed that these cytokines acted as mediators, activating integrin signaling pathways among macrophages, vascular endothelial cells, and osteoblasts. As a direct consequence, an increased rate of angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation was observed, vital for graft-bone integration following ACL reconstruction with PET@SrHA ligaments. From a biochemical standpoint, our results pinpoint strontium ions as influential immunomodulators, sculpting the graft-bone interface's immune environment. This insight presents the SrHA-coating technique as a viable therapeutic strategy, holding sound promise for improving angiogenesis and osseointegration outcomes during ACL reconstruction using PET-based grafts.

Abstract
Bacterial infection represents a prevalent challenge during the bone repair process, often resulting in implant failure. However, the extensive use of antibiotics has limited local antibacterial effects at the infection site and is prone to side effects. In order to address the issue of bacterial infection during the transplantation of bone implants, four types of bone scaffold implants with long-term antimicrobial functionality have been constructed, including direct contact antimicrobial scaffold, dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold, photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold, and multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold. The direct contact antimicrobial scaffold involves the physical penetration or disruption of bacterial cell membranes by the scaffold surface or hindrance of bacterial adhesion through surface charge, microstructure, and other factors. The dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold releases antimicrobial substances from the scaffold's interior through degradation and other means to achieve local antimicrobial effects. The photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold utilizes the absorption of light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with enhanced chemical reactivity for antimicrobial activity. ROS can cause damage to bacterial cell membranes, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, and other components. The multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold involves the combined use of multiple antimicrobial methods to achieve synergistic effects and effectively overcome the limitations of individual antimicrobial approaches. Additionally, the biocompatibility issues of the antimicrobial bone scaffold are also discussed, including in vitro cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, as well as in vivo bone repair and vascularization. Finally, the challenges and prospects of antimicrobial bone implants are summarized. The development of antimicrobial bone implants can provide effective solutions to bacterial infection issues in bone defect repair in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Nanohydroxyapatite (nanoHAP) is widely used in bone regeneration, but there is a need to enhance its properties to provide stimuli for cell commitment and osteoconduction. This study examines the effect of calcination at 1200 °C on the physicochemical and biological properties of nanoHAP doped with magnesium (Mg2+), strontium (Sr2+), and zinc (Zn2+). A synergistic effect of dual modification on nanoHAP biological properties was investigated. The materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BET analysis, Fourier-transform spectroscopy, and thermal analysis methods. Furthermore, ion release tests and in vitro biological characterization, including cytocompatibility, reactive oxygen species production, osteoconductive potential and cell proliferation, were performed. The XRD results indicate that the ion substitution of nanoHAP has no effect on the apatite structure, and after calcination, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) is formed as an additional phase. SEM analysis showed that calcination induces the agglomeration of particles and changes in surface morphology. A decrease in the specific surface area and in the ion release rate was observed. Combining calcination and nanoHAP ion modification is beneficial for cell proliferation and osteoblast response and provide additional stimuli for cell commitment in bone regeneration.

Abstract
The treatment of osteochondral defects remains challenging due to the limited healing capacity of cartilage and the poor results of traditional methods. Inspired by the structure of natural articular cartilage, we have fabricated a biphasic osteochondral hydrogel scaffold using a Schiff base reaction and a free radical polymerization reaction. Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), and polyacrylamide (PAM) formed a hydrogel (COP) as the cartilage layer, while hydroxyapatite (HAp) was incorporated into the COP hydrogel to obtain a hydrogel (COPH) as an subchondral bone layer. At the same time, hydroxyapatite (HAp) was incorporated into the COP hydrogel to obtain a hydrogel (COPH) as an osteochondral sublayer, combining the two to obtain an integrated scaffold for osteochondral tissue engineering. Interlayer interpenetration through the continuity of the hydrogel substrate and good self-healing properties due to the dynamic imine bonding of the hydrogel resulted in enhanced interlayer bond strength. In addition, in vitro experiments have shown that the hydrogel exhibits good biocompatibility. It shows great potential for osteochondral tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In this systematic review, the antimicrobial effect of ion-substituted calcium phosphate biomaterials was quantitatively assessed. The literature was systematically searched up to the 6th of December 2021. Study selection and data extraction was performed in duplo by two independent reviewers with a modified version of the OHAT tool for risk of bias assessment. Any differences were resolved by consensus or by a referee. A mixed effects model was used to investigate the relation between the degree of ionic substitution and bacterial reduction. Of 1016 identified studies, 108 were included in the analysis. The methodological quality of included studies ranged from 6 to 16 out of 18 (average 11.4). Selenite, copper, zinc, rubidium, gadolinium, silver and samarium had a clear antimicrobial effect, with a log reduction in bacteria count of 0.23, 1.8, 2.1, 3.6, 5.8, 7.4 and 10 per atomic% of substitution, respectively. There was considerable between-study variation, which could partially be explained by differences in material formulation, study quality and microbial strain. Future research should focus on clinically relevant scenarios in vitro and the translation to in vivo prevention of PJI.

Abstract
Injectable calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) represent promising candidates for the regeneration of complex-shape bone defects, thanks to self-hardening ability, bioactive composition and nanostructure offering high specific surface area for cell attachment and conduction. Such features make CPCs also interesting for functionalization with various biomolecules, towards the generation of multifunctional devices with enhanced therapeutic ability. In particular, strontium-doped CPCs have been studied in the last years due to the intrinsic antiosteoporotic character of strontium. In this work, a SrCPC previously reported as osteointegrative and capable to modulate the fate of bone cells was enriched with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA-NPs) functionalized with tetracycline (TC) to provide antibacterial activity. We found that HA-NPs functionalized with TC (NP-TC) can act as modulator of the drug release profile when embedded in SrCPCs, thus providing a sustained and tunable TC release. In vitro microbiological tests on Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains proved effective bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties, especially for the NP-TC loaded SrCPC formulations. Overall, our results indicate that the addition of NP-TC on CPC acted as effective modulator towards a tunable drug release control in the treatment of bone infections or cancers.

Abstract
Bone is a complex biologic tissue, which is extremely relevant for various physiological functions, in addition to movement, organ protection, and weight bearing. The repair of critical size bone defects is a still unmet clinical need, and over the past decades, material scientists have been expending efforts to find effective technological solutions, based on the use of scaffolds. In this context, biomimetics which is intended as the ability of a scaffold to reproduce compositional and structural features of the host tissues, is increasingly considered as a guide for this purpose. However, the achievement of implants that mimic the very complex bone composition, multi-scale structure, and mechanics is still an open challenge. Indeed, despite the fact that calcium phosphates are widely recognized as elective biomaterials to fabricate regenerative bone scaffolds, their processing into 3D devices with suitable cell-instructing features is still prevented by insurmountable drawbacks. With respect to biomaterials science, new approaches maybe conceived to gain ground and promise for a substantial leap forward in this field. The present review provides an overview of physicochemical and structural features of bone tissue that are responsible for its biologic behavior. Moreover, relevant and recent technological approaches, also inspired by natural processes and structures, are described, which can be considered as a leverage for future development of next generation bioactive medical devices.

Abstract
Decompressive craniectomy is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures, usually performed after neuropathological disorders, such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), but also vascular accidents (strokes), erosive tumours, infections and other congenital abnormalities. This procedure is usually followed by the reconstruction of the cranial vault, which is also known as cranioplasty (CP). The gold-standard material for the reconstruction process is the autologous bone of the patient. However, this is not always a feasible option for all patients. Several heterologous materials have been created in the last decades to overcome such limitation. One of the most prominent materials that started to be used in CP is porous hydroxyapatite. PHA is a bioceramic material from the calcium phosphate family. It is already widely used in other medical specialties and only recently in neurosurgery. In this narrative review of the literature, we summarize the evidence on the use of PHA for cranial reconstruction, highlighting the clinical properties and limitations. We also explain how this material contributed to changing the concept of cranial reconstruction from reparative to regenerative surgery.

Abstract
The immune microenvironment induced by biomaterials played vital roles in bone regeneration. Hydroxyapatite (HA) and its ion-substituted derivates represent a large class of core inorganic materials for bone tissue engineering. Although ion substitution was proved to be a potent way to grant HA more biological functions, few studies focused on the immunomodulatory properties of ion-doped HA. Herein, to explore the potential osteoimmunomodulatory effects of ion-doped HA, zinc and strontium co-assembled into HA through a collagen template biomimetic way (ZnSr-Col-HA) was successfully achieved. It was found that ZnSr-Col-HA could induce a favorable osteo-immune microenvironment by stimulating macrophages. Furthermore, ZnSr-Col-HA demonstrated a procedural promoting effect on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro. Specifically, the osteo-immune microenvironment acted as a dominant factor in promoting osteogenic gene expressions at the early stage through OSM signal pathway. Whereas the direct stimulating effects on BMSCs by Zn2+/Sr2+ were more effectively at the later stage with Nfatc1/Maf and Wnt signals activated. In vivo study confirmed strong promoting effects of ZnSr-Col-HA on critical-sized cranial defect repair. The current study indicated that such a combined biomaterial design philosophy of dual ion-doping and biomimetic molecular co-assembly to endow HA applicable osteoimmunomodulatory characteristics might bring up a new cutting-edge concept for bone regeneration study. Zn/Sr dual ions-collagen co-assembly hydroxyapatite (ZnSr-Col-HA) was achieved via a molecular template biomimetic way. A procedural promoting effect of ZnSr-Col-HA on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs was firstly found. A novel material design philosophy was proposed for dual ions-doped biomimetic HA with osteoimmunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are widely accepted biomaterials able to promote the regeneration of bone tissue. However, the regeneration of critical-sized bone defects has been considered challenging, and the development of bioceramics exhibiting enhanced bioactivity, bioresorbability and mechanical performance is highly demanded. In this respect, the tuning of their chemical composition, crystal size and morphology have been the matter of intense research in the last decades, including the preparation of composites. The development of effective bioceramic composite scaffolds relies on effective manufacturing techniques able to control the final multi-scale porosity of the devices, relevant to ensure osteointegration and bio-competent mechanical performance. In this context, the present work provides an overview about the reported strategies to develop and optimize bioceramics, while also highlighting future perspectives in the development of bioactive ceramic composites for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The insufficient bioactivity of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligaments severely weakens the ligament-bone healing in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, while osteogenic modification is a prevailing method to enhance osseointegration of PET artificial ligaments. In the present study, strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite (SrHA) nanoparticles with different strontium (Sr) contents were synthesized via microwave-hydrothermal method and subsequently were coated on the surface of PET artificial ligaments. The results of XRD, FT-IR, TEM and ICP-OES revealed that the doping of Sr ions had no great influences on the phase composition, morphology and particle size of HA, but affected its chemical compositions and crystallinity. The SEM images showed that nanoparticles were successfully deposited on the surface of PET grafts, the surface hydrophilicity of which was significantly improved by the prepared coatings. The in vitro study revealed that the osteogenic activity of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) was affected by varying concentrations of Sr ions in coatings and the optimal osteogenic differentiation was observed in the 2SrHA-PET group, which significantly up-regulated the expression of BMP-2, OCN, Col-I and VEGF. The enhanced osteogenic ability of the 2SrHA-PET group was further demonstrated through an in vivo study, which obviously promoted ligament-bone integration compared with that of PET and HA-PET groups, thus improving the biomechanical strength of the graft-bone complex. This study confirms that SrHA coatings can facilitate osseointegration in the repair of ligament injury in rabbits and thus offers a prospective method for ACL reconstruction by using Sr-containing biomaterial-modified PET artificial ligaments.

Abstract
In the present work, a series of zinc whitlockite (CaxZny(HPO4)2(PO4)12) powders was synthesized by a low-temperature dissolution-precipitation process for the first time. The phase conversion from calcium hydroxyapatite to zinc whitlockite occurred in an acidic medium in the presence of Zn2+ ions. Variable chemical composition of the synthesis products was achieved by changing Ca-to-Zn molar ratio in the reaction mixture. Investigation of the phase evolution as a function of time demonstrated that phase-pure zinc whitlockite powders can be synthesized in just 3 h. It is also demonstrated that single-phase products can be obtained when the Ca-to-Zn ratio in the reaction medium is in the range from 9 to 30. With higher or lower ratios, neighboring crystal phases such as scholzite or calcium hydroxyapatite were obtained. The morphology of the synthesized powders was found to be dependent on the chemical composition, transforming from hexagonal to rhombohedral plates with the increase of Zn content. Thermal stability studies revealed that the synthesized compounds were thermally unstable and decomposed upon heat treatment.

Abstract
The treatment of osteochondral (OC) defects remains challenging because of the lack of economical and feasible therapeutic strategies for OC repair and reconstruction. In this study, we report an integrated bilayer hydrogel with robust interface binding force (40 kPa) by facilitating the diffusion of calcium ions to the secondary crosslink of the bilayer hydrogel, in which gellan gum and sodium alginate acted as the chondral layer, gellan gum and hydroxyapatite acted as subchondral layer. This integrated construct has high cytocompatibility, and can seed with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) related to different functional protein expression for cartilage and bone formation, respectively. Furthermore, in the rabbit critical-sized osteochondral defect model (4.0 mm in diameter and 8.0 mm in depth), the calcium enriched hydrogel act as a calcium reservoir, promote neovascularization at week 4, and repair the critical defect at week 8, demonstrating the feasible preparation of an acellular hydrogel for OC repair.

Abstract
Multi-substituted hydroxyapatites (ms-HAPs) are currently gaining more consideration owing to their multifunctional properties and biomimetic structure, owning thus an enhanced biological potential in orthopaedic and dental applications. In this study, nano-hydroxyapatite (HAP) substituted with multiple cations (Sr2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+) for Ca2+ and anion ( Si O 4 4 - ) for P O 4 3 - and OH-, specifically HAPc-5%Sr and HAPc-10%Sr (where HAPc is HAP-1.5%Mg-0.2%Zn-0.2%Si), both lyophilized non-calcined and lyophilized calcined, were evaluated for their in vitro ions release. These nanomaterials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, field emission-scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray, as well as by atomic force microscope images and by surface specific areas and porosity. Further, the release of cations and of phosphate anions were assessed from nano-HAP and ms-HAPs, both in water and in simulated body fluid, in static and simulated dynamic conditions, using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry. The release profiles were analysed and the influence of experimental conditions was determined for each of the six nanomaterials and for various periods of time. The pH of the samples soaked in the immersion liquids was also measured. The ion release mechanism was theoretically investigated using the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The results indicated a mechanism principally based on diffusion and dissolution, with possible contribution of ion exchange. The surface of ms-HAP nanoparticles is more susceptible to dissolution into immersion liquids owing to the lattice strain provoked by simultaneous multi-substitution in HAP structure. According to the findings, it is rational to suggest that both materials HAPc-5%Sr and HAPc-10%Sr are bioactive and can be potential candidates in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Bone is the third most frequent site of metastasis, with a particular incidence in breast and prostate cancer patients. For example, almost 70% of breast cancer patients develop several bone metastases in the late stage of the disease. Bone metastases are a challenge for clinicians and a burden for patients because they frequently cause pain and can lead to fractures. Unfortunately, current therapeutic options are in most cases only palliative and, although not curative, surgery remains the gold standard for bone metastasis treatment. Surgical intervention mostly provides the replacement of the affected bone with a bioimplant, which can be made by materials of different origins and designed through several techniques that have evolved throughout the years simultaneously with clinical needs. Several scientists and clinicians have worked to develop biomaterials with potentially successful biological and mechanical features, however, only a few of them have actually reached the scope. In this review, we extensively analyze currently available biomaterials-based strategies focusing on the newest and most innovative ideas while aiming to highlight what should be considered both a reliable choice for orthopedic surgeons and a future definitive and curative option for bone metastasis and cancer patients.

Abstract
The development of biomaterials that mimicking the hydroxyapatite nanoparticles existent in the immature bone tissue is crucial, especially to accelerate the bone remodeling and regeneration. In this work, it was developed for the first time, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (NPs) incorporating citrate and zinc (cit-Zn-Hap) in their composition towards a one-step hydrothermal procedure. For comparison purposes, hydroxyapatite NPs incorporating only zinc (Zn-Hap) or citrate (cit-Hap), as well as hydroxyapatite without any of these elements (Hap) were synthesised. The physicochemical characterization was carried out reveling that, the presence of zinc on hydroxyapatite (cit-Zn-Hap), reduced the size of nanoparticles, changed the phosphate environment and decreased the surface charge when compared with cit-Hap nanoparticles. The osteogenic potential of cit-Zn-Hap NPs was analysed in human bone marrow-derived stromal cells (BMSCs), in the absence of osteoinductive factors. NPs were internalized by endocytosis appearing trapped in endosomes and lysosomes scattered through the cytoplasm. Exposure to these NPs resulted in a significant induction of ALP activity, extracellular matrix mineralization, and gene expression of early and later osteogenic transcription factors, as well as of osteoblastic markers. The osteoinductive effect might be regulated, at least in part, by the increased signalling through the canonical WNT pathway. Evaluation of the cell behaviour following exposure to Zn-Hap and cit-Hap strongly suggested a synergistic effect of citrate and Zn in cit-Zn-Hap NPs towards the induction of the osteogenic commitment and functionality of BMSCs. These findings will allow the design of new biomimetic hydroxyapatite nanoparticles with great potential for bone regeneration.

Abstract
In the present work, Fe3+ and Zn2+ co-substituted β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) has been synthesized by wet co-precipitation method. Co-substitution level in the range from 1 to 5 mol% has been studied. Thermal decomposition of as-prepared precipitates was shown to be affected by introducing of foreign ions, decreasing the decomposition temperature of precursor. It was determined that partial substitution of Ca2+ by Fe3+ and Zn2+ ions leads to the change in lattice parameters, which gradually decrease as doping level increases. Lattice distortion was also confirmed by means of Raman spectroscopy, which showed gradual change of the peaks shape in the Raman spectra. Rietveld refinement and electron paramagnetic resonance study confirmed that Fe3+ ions occupy only one Ca crystallographic site until Fe3+ and Zn2+ substitution level reaches 5 mol%. All co-substituted samples revealed paramagnetic behavior, magnetization of powders was determined to be linearly dependent on concentration of Fe3+ ions. Cytotoxicity of the synthesized species was estimated by in vivo assay using zebrafish (Danio rerio) and revealed non-toxic nature of the samples. Preparation of ceramic bodies from the powders was performed, however the results obtained on Vickers hardness of the ceramics did not show improvement in mechanical properties induced by co-substitution.
