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.

[PMID: 38065444 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128644] [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: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 11/16/2023] [Accepted: 12/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2024]
Abstract
Exploring the degradation behaviour of biomaterials in a complex in vitro physiological environment can assist in predicting their performance in vivo, yet this aspect remains largely unexplored. In this study, the in vitro degradation over 12 weeks of porous poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) bone scaffolds in human osteoblast (hOB) culture was investigated. The objective was to evaluate how the presence of cells influenced both the degradation behaviour and mechanical stability of these scaffolds. The molecular weight (Mw) of the scaffolds decreased with increasing incubation time and the Mw reduction rate (6.2 ± 0.4 kg mol-1 week-1) was similar to that observed when incubated in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, implying that the scaffolds underwent hydrolytic degradation in hOB culture. The mass of the scaffolds increased by 0.8 ± 0.2 % in the first 4 weeks, attributed to cells attachment and extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition including biomineralisation. During the first 8 weeks, the nominal compressive modulus, E⁎, of the scaffolds remained constant. However, it increased significantly from Week 8 to 12, with increments of 55 % and 42 % in normal and lateral directions, respectively, attributed to the reinforcement effect of cells, ECM and minerals attached on the surface of the scaffold. This study has highlighted, that while the use of PBS in degradation studies is suitable for evaluating Mw changes it cannot predict changes in mechanical properties to PHBV scaffolds in the presence of cells and culture media. Furthermore, the PHBV scaffolds had mechanical stability in cell culture for 12 weeks validating their suitability for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
It is known that complexes based on natural polysaccharides are able to eliminate bone defects. Prolonged hyperglycemia leads to low bone regeneration and a chronic inflammatory response. The purpose of this study was to increase the efficiency of early bone formation in a cavity of critical size in diabetes mellitus in the experiment. The polyelectrolyte complex contains high-molecular ascorbate of chitosan, chondroitin sulfate, sodium hyaluronate, heparin, adgelon serum growth factor, sodium alginate and amorphous nanohydroxyapatite (CH-SA-HA). Studies were conducted on five groups of white female Wistar rats: group 1-regeneration of a bone defect in healthy animals under a blood clot; group 2-regeneration of a bone defect under a blood clot in animals with diabetes mellitus; group 3-bone regeneration in animals with diabetes mellitus after filling the bone cavity with a collagen sponge; group 4-filling of a bone defect with a CH-SA-HA construct in healthy animals; group 5-filling of a bone defect with a CH-SA-HA construct in animals with diabetes mellitus. Implantation of the CH-SA-HA construct into bone cavities in type I diabetic rats can accelerate the rate of bone tissue repair. The inclusion of modifying polysaccharides and apatite agents in the construction may be a prospect for further improvement of the properties of implants.

Abstract
Biomimetic materials have emerged as attractive and competitive alternatives for tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine. In contrast to conventional biomaterials or synthetic materials, biomimetic scaffolds based on natural biomaterial can offer cells a broad spectrum of biochemical and biophysical cues that mimic the in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM). Additionally, such materials have mechanical adaptability, microstructure interconnectivity, and inherent bioactivity, making them ideal for the design of living implants for specific applications in TE and regenerative medicine. This paper provides an overview for recent progress of biomimetic natural biomaterials (BNBMs), including advances in their preparation, functionality, potential applications and future challenges. We highlight recent advances in the fabrication of BNBMs and outline general strategies for functionalizing and tailoring the BNBMs with various biological and physicochemical characteristics of native ECM. Moreover, we offer an overview of recent key advances in the functionalization and applications of versatile BNBMs for TE applications. Finally, we conclude by offering our perspective on open challenges and future developments in this rapidly-evolving field.

Modulation of bioactive calcium phosphate micro/nanoparticle size and shape during in situ synthesis of photo-crosslinkable gelatin methacryloyl based nanocomposite hydrogels for 3D bioprinting and tissue engineering. Biomater Res 2022; 26:54. [PMID: 36209133 PMCID: PMC9548207 DOI: 10.1186/s40824-022-00301-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) polymer suffers shape fidelity and structural stability issues during 3D bioprinting for bone tissue engineering while homogeneous mixing of reinforcing nanoparticles is always under debate. Method In this study, amorphous calcium phosphates micro/nanoparticles (CNP) incorporated GelMA is synthesized by developing specific sites for gelatin structure-based nucleation and stabilization in a one-pot processing. The process ensures homogenous distribution of CNPs while different concentrations of gelatin control their growth and morphologies. After micro/nanoparticles synthesis in the gelatin matrix, methacrylation is carried out to prepare homogeneously distributed CNP-reinforced gelatin methacryloyl (CNP GelMA) polymer. After synthesis of CNP and CNP GelMA gel, the properties of photo-crosslinked 3D bioprinting scaffolds were compared with those of the conventionally fabricated ones. Results The shape (spindle to spherical) and size (1.753 μm to 296 nm) of the micro/nanoparticles in the GelMA matrix are modulated by adjusting the gelatin concentrations during the synthesis. UV cross-linked CNP GelMA (using Irgacure 2955) has significantly improved mechanical (three times compressive strength), 3D printability (160 layers, 2 cm self-standing 3D printed height) and biological properties (cell supportiveness with osteogenic differentiation). The photo-crosslinking becomes faster due to better methacrylation, facilitating continuous 3D bioprinting or printing. Conclusion For 3D bioprinting using GelMA like photo cross-linkable polymers, where structural stability and homogeneous control of nanoparticles are major concerns, CNP GelMA is beneficial for even bone tissue regeneration within short period.

Abstract
Repairing of large bone injuries is an important problem in bone regeneration field. Thus, developing new therapeutic approaches such as tissue engineering using 3D scaffolds is necessary. Incorporation of some bioactive materials and trace elements can improve scaffold properties. We made chitosan/alginate/strontium-doped bioglass composite scaffolds with optimized properties for bone tissue engineering. Bioglass (BG) and Sr-doped bioglasses (Sr-BG) were synthesized using Sol–Gel method. Alginate-Chitosan (Alg/Cs) scaffold and scaffolds containing different ratio (10%, 20% and 30%) of BG (Alg/Cs/BG10, 20, 30) or Sr-BG (Alg/Cs/Sr-BG10, 20, 30) were fabricated using freeze drying method. Characterization of bioglasses/scaffolds was done using zeta sizer, FTIR, XRD, (FE) SEM and EDS. Also, mechanical strength, antibacterial effect degradation and swelling profile of scaffolds were evaluated. Bone differentiation efficiency and viability of MSCs on scaffolds were determined by Alizarin Red, ALP and MTT methods. Cell toxicity and antibacterial effect of bioglasses were determined using MTT, MIC and MBC methods. Incorporation of BG into Alg/Cs scaffolds amplified biomineralization and mechanical properties along with improved swelling ratio, degradation profile and cell differentiation. Mechanical strength and cell differentiation efficiency of Alg/Cs/BG20 scaffold was considerably higher than scaffolds with lower or higher BG concentrations. Alg/Cs/Sr-BG scaffolds had higher mechanical stability and more differentiation efficiency in comparison with Alg/Cs and Alg/Cs/BG scaffolds. Also, Mechanical strength and cell differentiation efficiency of Alg/Cs/Sr-BG20 scaffold was considerably higher than scaffolds with various Sr-BG concentrations. Biomineralization of Alg/Cs/BG scaffolds slightly was higher than Alg/Cs/Sr-BG scaffolds. Overall, we concluded that Alg/Cs/Sr-BG20 scaffolds are more suitable for repairing bone major injuries.

Abstract
New bone formation starts from the initial reaction between a scaffold surface and the extracellular matrix. This research aimed to evaluate the effects of various amounts of calcium, phosphate, sodium, sulfur, and chloride ions on osteoblast-like cell differentiation using tetra-polymers of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH), alginic acid, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Moreover, 3D-printed scaffolds were fabricated to determine the ion distribution and cell differentiation. Various proportions of ACP/CSH were prepared in ratios of 0%, 13%, 15%, 18%, 20%, and 23%. SEM was used to observe the morphology, cell spreading, and ion complements. The scaffolds were also examined for calcium ion release. The mouse osteoblast-like cell line MC3T3-E1 was cultured to monitor the osteogenic differentiation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, total protein synthesis, osteocalcin expression (OCN), and calcium deposition. All 3D-printed scaffolds exhibited staggered filaments, except for the 0% group. The amounts of calcium, phosphate, sodium, and sulfur ions increased as the amounts of ACP/CSH increased. The 18%ACP/CSH group significantly exhibited the most ALP on days 7, 14, and 21, and the most OCN on days 14 and 21. Moreover, calcium deposition and mineralization showed the highest peak after 7 days. In conclusion, the 18%ACP/CSH group is capable of promoting osteoblast-like cell differentiation on 3D-printed scaffolds.

Abstract
The addition of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) and collagen (Col) to the alginate (Alg) microcapsule hydrogel reduced swelling and degradation ratios while the compressive strength increased compared to Alg, Alg-Col, and Alg-nHA groups. MTT assay and Calcein-AM staining revealed an enhanced MG-63 osteoblasts viability in the Alg-nHA-Col hydrogel compared to the other groups. SEM showed the attachment of MG-63 osteoblasts inside Alg-Col hydrogels. Non-significant differences were found in antioxidant capacity of cells inside the Alg-nHA-Col hydrogel compared to the Alg group. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining showed the distribution of MG-63 osteoblasts inside microspheres. Calcium deposits, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity with the increase of intracellular calcium were found in Alg-nHA-Col group. Western blotting showed that levels of osteocalcin, ColA2, Sox-9, and ColA1 also significantly increased compared to the Alg, Alg-Col, Alg-nHA groups. The present study demonstrated that the addition of mineral nHA and protein (Col) into the Alg improves osteogenic potential and provides a 3D platform for modular bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Synthetic bone graft substitutes have attracted increasing attention in tissue engineering. This study aimed to fabricate a novel, bioactive, porous scaffold that can be used as a bone substitute. Strontium and zinc doped nano-hydroxyapatite (Sr/Zn n-HAp) were synthesized by a water-based sol-gel technique. Sr/Zn n-HAp and poly (lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) were used to fabricate composite scaffolds by supercritical carbon dioxide technique. FTIR, XRD, TEM, SEM, and TGA were used to characterize Sr/Zn n-HAp and the composite scaffolds. The synthesized scaffolds were adequately porous with an average pore size range between 189 to 406 µm. The scaffolds demonstrated bioactive behavior by forming crystals when immersed in the simulated body fluid. The scaffolds after immersing in Tris/HCl buffer increased the pH value of the medium, establishing their favorable biodegradable behavior. ICP-MS study for the scaffolds detected the presence of Sr, Ca, and Zn ions in the SBF within the first week, which would augment osseointegration if implanted in the body. nHAp and their composites (PLGA-nHAp) showed ultimate compressive strength ranging between 0.4–19.8 MPa. A 2.5% Sr/Zn substituted nHAp-PLGA composite showed a compressive behavior resembling that of cancellous bone indicating it as a good candidate for cancellous bone substitute.

Abstract
Diffusion-controlled crystallization in a hydrogel has been investigated to synthesize organic/inorganic hybrid composites and obtain a fundamental understanding of the detailed mechanism of biomineralization. Although calcium phosphate/hydrogel composites have been intensively studied and developed for the application of bone substitutes, the synthesis of homogeneous and integrated composites remains challenging. In this work, diffusion-controlled systems were optimized by manipulating the calcium ion flux at the interface, concentration gradient, and diffusion coefficient to synthesize homogeneous octacalcium phosphate/hydrogel composites with respect to the crystal morphology and density. The ion flux and local pH play an important role in determining the morphology, density, and phase of the crystals. This study suggests a model system that can reveal the relation between local conditions and the resulting crystal phase in diffusion-limited systems and provides a synthetic method for homogeneously organized organic/inorganic composites.

Abstract
Although alginate is widely used as a matrix in the formulation of cell-laden inks, this polymer often requires laborious processing strategies due to its lack of cell adhesion moieties. The main objective of the present work was to explore the incorporation of microspheres into alginate-based bioinks as a simple and tuneable way to solve the cell adhesion problems, while adding extra biological functionality and improving their mechanical properties. To this end, three types of microspheres with different mineral contents (i.e. gelatine with 0% of hydroxyapatite, gelatine with 25 wt% of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and 100 wt% of calcium -deficient hydroxyapatite) were synthesised and incorporated into the formulation of cell-laden inks. The results showed that the addition of microspheres generally improved the rheological properties of the ink, favoured cell proliferation and positively affected osteogenic cell differentiation. Furthermore, this differentiation was found to be influenced by the type of microsphere and the ability of the cells to migrate towards them, which was highly dependent on the stiffness of the bioink. In this regard, Ca2+ supplementation in the cell culture medium had a pronounced effect on the relaxation of the stiffness of these cell-loaded inks, influencing the overall cell performance. In conclusion, we have developed a powerful and tuneable strategy for the fabrication of alginate-based bioinks with enhanced biological characteristics by incorporating microspheres into the initial ink formulation.

Abstract
Composite hydrogels incorporating natural polymers and bioactive glass (BG) are promising materials for bone regeneration. However, their applications are compromised by the poor interfacial compatibility between organic and inorganic phases. In this study, we developed an electrostatically reinforced hydrogel (CAG) with improved interfacial compatibility by introducing amino-functionalized 45S5 BG to the alginate/gellan gum (AG) matrix. BAG composed of AG and unmodified BG (10 to 100 μm in size) was prepared as a control. Compared with BAG, CAG had a more uniform porous structure with a pore size of 200 μm and optimal compressive strength of 66 kPa. Furthermore, CAG promoted the M2 phenotype transition of macrophages and up-regulated the osteogenic gene expression of stem cells. The new bone formation in vivo was also accelerated due to the enhanced biomineralization of CAG. Overall, this work suggests CAG with improved interfacial compatibility is an ideal material for bone regeneration application.

Abstract
MXene has attracted tremendous attention due to its outstanding photothermal properties and biocompatibility. Hydroxyapatite (HA) contains Ca, Mg and P elements, which play important roles in promoting osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, a class of composite nanofibers consisting of MXene nanosheets and HA nanoparticles (M-@HA NFs) are developed based on the synergistic effect of photothermal performance and osteogenic properties. The obtained composite nanofibers demonstrated excellent photothermal properties, and the temperature reached 44 °C under NIR exposure (808 nm). In addition, the composite nanofibers also displayed good biocompatibility and promote the growth and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). More importantly, under NIR exposure, BMSCs on the composite nanofibers achieved much better osteogenic differentiation than those without NIR exposure due to the accelerated release of Ca, Mg and P elements. Therefore, we considered the unique photothermal and osteogenic differentiation to indicate that this new class of MXene composite nanofibers has tremendous application potential in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Alginate-based hydrogel inks are commonly used in printing due to their biocompatibility, biodegradation, and cell adhesion. In the present work, 3D printing of hydrogels comprising alginate/methyl cellulose (MC)/trimethyl chitosan (TMC) and silicate glasses was investigated. It was found that TMC increased the stability of the scaffolds after immersion in normal saline solution in comparison with alginate/MC 3D constructs. The stability also remained after the incorporation of pure silicate glasses or bioactive glasses. Immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) resulted in the formation of hydroxyapatite in all samples. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a good cell adhesion of pre-osteoblasts on all scaffold compositions, cell viability assessment displayed a proliferation increase up to seven days in culture, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was similar in all scaffold compositions without significant differences. Total collagen secretion by the pre-osteoblasts after 7 days in culture was significantly higher in scaffolds containing silicate glasses, demonstrating their ability to promote extracellular matrix formation. In conclusion, 3D-printed porous scaffolds based on alginate/methyl cellulose/TMC are promising candidates for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Natural bone is a composite organic-inorganic material, containing hydroxyapatite (HAP) as an inorganic phase. In this review, applications of natural alginic acid (ALGH) polymer for the fabrication of composites containing HAP are described. ALGH is used as a biocompatible structure directing, capping and dispersing agent for the synthesis of HAP. Many advanced techniques for the fabrication of ALGH-HAP composites are attributed to the ability of ALGH to promote biomineralization. Gel-forming and film-forming properties of ALGH are key factors for the development of colloidal manufacturing techniques. Electrochemical fabrication techniques are based on strong ALGH adsorption on HAP, pH-dependent charge and solubility of ALGH. Functional properties of advanced composite ALGH-HAP films and coatings, scaffolds, biocements, gels and beads are described. The composites are loaded with other functional materials, such as antimicrobial agents, drugs, proteins and enzymes. Moreover, the composites provided a platform for their loading with cells for the fabrication of composites with enhanced properties for various biomedical applications. This review summarizes manufacturing strategies, mechanisms and outlines future trends in the development of functional biocomposites.

Abstract
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials like bone, shells, and teeth can be found in nature, which are usually composed of biomacromolecules and nanoscale inorganic ingredients. Synergy of organic-inorganic components in hybrid materials render them outstanding and versatile performance. Chitosan is commonly used organic materials in bionic hybrid materials since its bioactive properties and could be controllable tailored by various means to meet complex conditions in different applications. Among these fabrication means, hybridization was favored for its convenience and efficiency. This review discusses three kinds of chitosan-based hybrid materials: hybridized with hydroxyapatite, calcium carbonate, and clay respectively, which are the representative of phosphate, carbonate, and hydrous aluminosilicates. Here, we reported the latest developments of the preparation methods, composition, structure and applications of these bioactive hybrid materials, especially in the biomedical field. Despite the great progress was made in bioactive organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on chitosan, some challenges and specific directions are still proposed for future development in this review.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To systematically present and interpret the current literature on research and treatment perspectives for mandibular osteoradionecrosis (mORN) in the field of biomaterials. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review of the literature using the "Synthesis without meta-analysis" (SWiM) methodology was performed on PubMed, Embase and Cochrane, focusing on the implantation of synthetic biomaterials for bone reconstruction in mORN in humans and/or animal models. The primary endpoints were the composition, efficacy on mORN and tolerance of the implanted synthetic biomaterials. RESULTS Forty-seven references were obtained and evaluated in full-text by two assessors. Ten (8 in humans and 2 in animal models) met the eligibility criteria and were included for analysis. Materials most often comprised support plates or metal mesh (5 of 10 cases) in combination with grafts or synthetic materials (phosphocalcic ceramics, glutaraldehyde). Other ceramic/polymer composites were also implanted. In half of the selected reports, active compounds (molecules, growth factors, lysates) and/or cells were associated with the reconstruction material. The number of articles referring to implantation of biomaterials for the treatment of mORN was small, and the properties of the implanted biomaterials were generally poorly described, thus limiting a thorough understanding of their role. CONCLUSION In preventing the morbidity associated with some reconstructive surgeries, basic research has benefitted from recent advances in tissue engineering and biomaterials to repair limited bone loss.

Abstract
The cancer microenvironment influences tumor progression and metastasis and is pivotal to consider when designingin vivo-like cancer models. Current preclinical testing platforms for cancer drug development are mainly limited to 2D cell culture systems that poorly mimic physiological environments and traditional, low throughput animal models. The aim of this work was to produce a tunable testing platform based on 3D printed scaffolds (3DPS) with a simple geometry that, by extracellular components and response of breast cancer reporter cells, mimics patient-derived scaffolds (PDS) of breast cancer. Here, the biocompatible polysaccharide alginate was used as base material to generate scaffolds consisting of a 3D grid containing periostin and hydroxyapatite. Breast cancer cell lines (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) produced similar phenotypes and gene expression levels of cancer stem cell, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, differentiation and proliferation markers when cultured on 3DPS and PDS, contrasting conventional 2D cultures. Importantly, cells cultured on 3DPS and PDS showed scaffold-specific responses to cytotoxic drugs (doxorubicin and 5-fluorouracil) that were different from 2D cultured cells. In conclusion, the data presented support the use of a tunable alginate-based 3DPS as a tumor model in breast cancer drug discovery.

Abstract
The development of 3D printing has significantly advanced the field of bone tissue engineering by enabling the fabrication of scaffolds that faithfully recapitulate desired mechanical properties and architectures. In addition, computer-based manufacturing relying on patient-derived medical images permits the fabrication of customized modules in a patient-specific manner. In addition to conventional 3D fabrication, progress in materials engineering has led to the development of 4D printing, allowing time-sensitive interventions such as programed therapeutics delivery and modulable mechanical features. Therapeutic interventions established via multi-dimensional engineering are expected to enhance the development of personalized treatment in various fields, including bone tissue regeneration. Here, recent studies utilizing 3D printed systems for bone tissue regeneration are summarized and advances in 4D printed systems are highlighted. Challenges and perspectives for the future development of multi-dimensional printed systems toward personalized bone regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
The increasing demand for organ replacements in a growing world with an aging population as well as the loss of tissues and organs due to congenital defects, trauma and diseases has resulted in rapidly evolving new approaches for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a crucial component in tissues and organs that surrounds and acts as a physical environment for cells. Thus, ECM has become a model guide for the design and fabrication of scaffolds and biomaterials in TERM. However, the fabrication of a tissue/organ replacement or its regeneration is a very complex process and often requires the combination of several strategies such as the development of scaffolds with multiple functionalities and the simultaneous delivery of growth factors, biochemical signals, cells, genes, immunomodulatory agents, and external stimuli. Although the development of multifunctional scaffolds and biomaterials is one of the most studied approaches for TERM, all these strategies can be combined among them to develop novel synergistic approaches for tissue regeneration. In this review we discuss recent advances in which multifunctional scaffolds alone or combined with other strategies have been employed for TERM purposes.

Abstract
Fire hazards and infectious diseases result in great threats to public safety and human health, thus developing multi-functional materials to deal with these issues is critical and yet has remained challenging to date. In this work, we report a facile and eco-friendly synthetic approach for the preparation of calcium alginate/silver chloride (CA/AgCl) nanocomposites with dual functions of excellent flame-retardant and antibacterial activity. Multi characterization techniques and antibacterial assays were performed to investigate the flame-retardant and antibacterial properties of the CA/AgCl nanocomposites. The obtained results show that the CA/AgCl nanocomposites exhibited much higher limiting oxygen index value (> 60%) than that of CA (48%) with a UL-94 rating of V-0. Moreover, CA/AgCl particularly displayed an efficiently smoke-suppressive feature by achieving a total smoke release value of 2.7 m2/m2, which was reduced by 91%, compared to CA. The antibacterial rates of the CA/AgCl nanocomposites against E. coli and S. aureus were measured to be 99.67% and 99.77%, respectively, while CA showed quite weak antibacterial rates. In addition, the flame-retardant and antibacterial mechanisms were analyzed and proposed based on the experimental data. This study provides a novel nanocomposite material with both flame-retardant and antibacterial properties which show promising application prospects in the fields of decorative materials and textile industry.

Abstract
The 3D printing technology with unique strategies for accurate fabrication of biomaterials in regenerative medicine has been widely applied in bone regeneration. However, the traditional 3D printing scaffolds are only stacked by solid struts without any hollow channel structures, which limits the new bone tissue formation. In this study, a special 3D scaffold with hollow channels and a micro-nano surface was prepared by a modified 3D printing strategy combined with the hydrothermal treatment approach. By regulating the reaction solution of hydrothermal treatment, the micro-nano structures formed on the surface of scaffolds can be successfully controlled. Moreover, the scaffolds have the ability to facilitate the attachment and proliferation of BMSCs after culturing for 1, 3, and 7 days in vitro. Interestingly, the in vivo results demonstrated that the hollow channels and the micro-nano surface present synergistic effects on bone regeneration. They both boost the new bone formation in femur defects in rabbits for 12 weeks after operation. The study demonstrates a 3D scaffold with special surface microstructures and hollow struts that can overcome the shortages of most traditional scaffolds and meanwhile improve the bioactivity of biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses have been used for bone regeneration applications thanks to their excellent osteoconductivity, an osteostimulatory effect, and high degradation rate, releasing biologically active ions. Besides these properties, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBG) are specific for their highly ordered mesoporous channel structure and high specific surface area, making them suitable for drug and growth factor delivery. In the present study, calcium (Ca) (15 mol%) in MBG was partially and fully substituted with zinc (Zn), known for its osteogenic and antimicrobial properties. Different MBG were synthesized, containing 0, 5, 10, or 15 mol% of Zn. Up to 7 wt.% of Zn-containing MBG could be mixed into an alginate-methylcellulose blend (algMC) while maintaining rheological properties suitable for 3D printing of scaffolds with sufficient shape fidelity. The suitability of these composites for bioprinting applications has been demonstrated with immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells. Uptake of Ca and phosphorus (P) (phosphate) ions by composite scaffolds was observed, while the released concentration of Zn2+ corresponded to the initial amount of this ion in prepared glasses, suggesting that it can be controlled at the MBG synthesis step. The study introduces a tailorable bioprintable material system suitable for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In the field of bone tissue, maintaining adequate mechanical strength and tissue volume is an important part. Recently, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) was fabricated to solve the shortcomings of hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and it is widely studied in the field of bone-tissue engineering. In this study, a composite hydrogel was fabricated by applying BCP to gelatin methacrylate (GelMA). It was tested by using a mechanical tester, to characterize the mechanical properties of the prepared composite hydrogel. The fabricated BCP was analyzed through FTIR and XRD. As a result, a different characteristic pattern from hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was observed, and it was confirmed that it was successfully bound to the hydrogel. Then, the proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblasts were checked to evaluate cell viability. The analysis results showed high cell viability and relatively high bone differentiation ability in the composite hydrogel to which BCP was applied. These features have been shown to be beneficial for bone regeneration by maintaining the volume and shape of the hydrogel. In addition, hydrogels can be advantageous for clinical use, as they can shape the structure of the material for custom applications.

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
Nanoparticle-reinforced polymer-based scaffolding matrices as artificial bone-implant materials are potential suitors for bone regenerative medicine as they simulate the native bone. In the present work, a series of bioinspired, osteoconductive tricomposite scaffolds made up of nano-hydroxyapatite (NHA) embedded xanthan gum-chitosan (XAN-CHI) polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) are explored for their bone-regeneration potential. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy studies confirmed complex formation between XAN and CHI and showed strong interactions between the NHA and PEC matrix. The X-ray diffraction studies indicated regulation of the nanocomposite (NC) scaffold crystallinity by the physical cues of the PEC matrix. Further results exhibited that the XAN-CHI/NHA5 scaffold, with a 50/50 (polymer/NHA) ratio, has optimized porous structure, appropriate compressive properties, and sufficient swelling ability with slower degradation rates, which are far better than those of CHI/NHA and other XAN-CHI/NHA NC scaffolds. The simulated body fluid studies showed XAN-CHI/NHA5 generated apatite-like surface structures of a Ca/P ratio ∼1.66. Also, the in vitro cell-material interaction studies with MG-63 cells revealed that relative to the CHI/NHA NC scaffold, the cellular viability, attachment, and proliferation were better on XAN-CHI/NHA scaffold surfaces, with XAN-CHI/NHA5 specimens exhibiting an effective increment in cell spreading capacity compared to XAN-CHI/NHA4 and XAN-CHI/NHA6 specimens. The presence of an osteo-friendly environment is also indicated by enhanced alkaline phosphatase expression and protein adsorption ability. The higher expression of extracellular matrix proteins, such as osteocalcin and osteopontin, finally validated the induction of differentiation of MG-63 cells by tricomposite scaffolds. In summary, this study demonstrates that the formation of PEC between XAN and CHI and incorporation of NHA in XAN-CHI PEC developed tricomposite scaffolds with robust potential for use in bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
The mechanical properties and biocompatibility of nanocomposites composed of Acrylated Epoxidized Soybean Oil (AESO), nano-Hydroxyapatite (nHA) rods and either 2-Hydroxyethyl Acrylate (HEA) or Polyethylene Glycol Diacrylate (PEGDA) and 3D printed using extrusion-based additive manufacturing methods were investigated. The effects of addition of HEA or PEGDA on the rheological, mechanical properties and cell-biomaterial interactions were studied. AESO, PEGDA (or HEA), and nHA were composited using an ultrasonic homogenizer and scaffolds were 3D printed using a metal syringe on an extrusion-based 3D printer while simultaneously UV cured during layer-by-layer deposition. Nanocomposite inks were characterized for their viscosity before curing, and dispersion of the nHA particles and tensile mechanical properties after curing. Proliferation and differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were studied by seeding cells onto the scaffolds and culturing in osteogenic differentiation medium for 7, 14 and 21 days. Overall, each of the scaffolds types demonstrated controlled morphology resulting from the printability of nanocomposite inks, well-dispersed nHA particles within the polymer matrices, and were shown to support cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation after 14 and 21 days of culture. However, the nature of the functional groups present in each ink detectably affected the mechanical properties and cytocompatibility of the scaffolds. For example, while the incorporation of HEA reduced nHA dispersion and tensile strength of the final nanocomposite, it successfully enhanced shear yield strength, and printability, as well as cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, establishing a positive effect perhaps due to additional hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
In this study, methacrylation of alginate was carried out by reacting sodium alginate with methacrylic anhydride in the presence of sodium hydroxide. Separately synthesized nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAp) powder was surface functionalized using mercaptopropionic acid and ethylene glycol methacrylate phosphate (EGMP) in the presence of azobisisobutyronitrile benzene as a free radical initiator in a nitrogen atmosphere. Methacrylated alginate solution was mixed with the required amount of surface-functionalized HAp nanoparticles in the presence of 0.05% Irgacure 2959 as a photoinitiator and was placed at the centre of a 8 kW UV light source (265 nm) to prepare photo-crosslinked bone paste. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that surface functionalization did not alter phase purity of HAp nanopowder in the prepared paste. The graft polymerization of EGMP on the surface of HAp was confirmed by the presence of the 1732 cm-1 band, which belongs to C=-O stretching of EGMP, in addition to the characteristic peaks of nano-HAp and alginate in the composite paste. The storage and loss moduli of all the prepared pastes increased non-linearly with time up to 100 s, demonstrating their pseudo plastic behaviour. The rate of release of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) was significantly faster in the first few days, and the release curve gradually levelled off prior to slowing down up to 22 d. Mesenchymal stem cell adhesion studies revealed that cells could attach to the paste material and stretch over the surface of the material after 14 d of incubation. MTT assay showed that prepared paste materials were conducive to attachment and proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that the addition of surface-functionalized nano-HAp and BMP-2 to alginate hydrogel enhanced the osteogenic potential of the prepared paste. The results indicate that the newly developed photo-crosslinked paste may be physically and biologically suitable for application as a bone filler.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged to create novel cell-based therapies for regenerative medicine applications. Vascularized networks within engineered constructs are required, and toward this end, we report a promising strategy using core-shell (c/s) extrusion 3D-bioprinting technology that employs biomimetic biomaterials to construct regenerative, prevascularized scaffolds for wound care. A custom-designed cell-responsive bioink consisting of a 13% (w/v) cell-laden gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) shell surrounding a peptide-functionalized, succinylated chitosan (C)/dextran aldehyde (D) cell-laden core was successfully bioprinted resulting in organized microdesigns exhibiting excellent cell viability and subsequent vessel formation. Our templating strategy takes advantage of GelMA's intrinsic thermoreversible properties of low degree of acryloyl functionalization used in combination with a lightly, chemically cross-linked peptide-CD core to serve as temporal structural supports that stabilize during extrusion onto a cooled platform. Mechanical integrity was further strengthened layer-by-layer via GelMA UV photo-cross-linking. We report the first example of GelMA used in combination with a peptide-CD bioink to c/s 3D-bioprint regenerative, prevascularized constructs for wound care. Particular cell adhesion and proteolytic peptide-CD functionalized pair combinations, P15/MMP-2 and P15/cRGD, were found to significantly increase growth of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stems cells (hBMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The constructs delivered two cell types: hBMSCs in the shell bioink and HUVECs within the core bioink. Cord-like, natural microvascularization was shown with endothelial cell marker expression as confirmed by immunofluorescence (IF) staining exhibiting tubelike structures. In addition, in vitro skin wound healing activity of the construct showed a ∼twofold rate of wound closure. Overall, c/s 3D-bioprinted, peptide-CD/GelMA constructs provided the appropriate microenvironment for in vitro stem and endothelial cell viability, delivery, and differentiation. We foresee these custom constructs as representing a fundamental step toward engineering larger scale regenerative, prevascularized tissues.

Sr-HA scaffolds fabricated by SPS technology promote the repair of segmental bone defects. Tissue Cell 2020; 66:101386.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ideal bone defect repair scaffolds should be biodegradable, biocompatible, bioactive, porous, and provide adequate mechanical support. However, it is challenging to fabricate such an ideal bone repair scaffold. Previously, we showed that 5 wt.% strontium-doped hydroxyapatite (Sr-HA) scaffolds prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology exhibited good biocompatibility. Moreover, unlike pure hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds, HA scaffolds containing strontium (Sr) exhibited superior bioactivity, higher proliferation rate of BMSCs and MG-63 osteoblast cells, as well as enhanced BMSCs differentiation. METHODS In this study, we prepared pure HA scaffolds and 5 wt.% strontium containing Sr-HA scaffolds by SPS technology without adhesive, ammonium bicarbonate as pore former. Subsequently, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the properties of Sr-HA and HA scaffolds. The ability of the scaffolds to repair bone defects was evaluated using a critical-sized rabbit tibia-bone defect rabbit model. Thirty 3-month-old New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (blank control group, Sr-HA scaffolds implanted group and HA scaffolds implanted group) with 10 rabbits in each group. These rabbits are sacrificed after 8 weeks and 16 weeks of surgery, and the repair effects of each scaffold were evaluated with X-ray, micro-CT, and HE staining. The three-point bending test was employed to assess the mechanical property of repaired bones. RESULTS XRD pattern indicated that Sr-HA and HA scaffolds possess a similar crystal structure after sintering, and that incorporation of strontium did not form impure phase. SEM showed that the porosity of Sr-HA and HA scaffolds was about 40 %. Universal Testing Machine tests showed that Sr-HA scaffolds had better compressive strength than HA scaffolds. Bone defect was obvious, and the fibrous tissue was formed in the bone defects of rabbits in the blank control group after 8 weeks of surgery. Sr-HA and HA scaffolds enhanced osteointegration of the host bone, and extensive woven bone was formed on the surface of the Sr-HA scaffolds. After 16 weeks, the bone strump became blunt and a small amount of callus was formed in the blank control group. Comparatively, the scaffolds were substantially degraded in the Sr-HA scaffolds implanted group while scaffolds shadows still were observed in the HA implanted group. Bone remodeling and cavity recanalization were completely developed in the Sr-HA scaffolds group. The compressive strength of repaired bone in the Sr-HA scaffolds implantation group was higher than that of HA scaffolds implantation group after 8 weeks and 16 weeks of surgery. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that the Sr-HA composite scaffolds can effectively repair bone defects and have good biodegradable properties.

Abstract
Mineralization processes based on coprecipitation methods have been applied as a promising alternative to the most commonly used methods of polymer-ceramic combination, direct mixing, and incubation in simulated body fluid (SBF) or modified SBF. In the present study, for the first time, the in situ mineralization (ideally hydroxyapatite formation) of blue shark (Prionace glauca (PG)) collagen to fabricate 3D printable cell-laden hydrogels is proposed. In the first part, several parameters for collagen mineralization were tested until optimization. The hydroxyapatite formation was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, and TEM techniques. In the second part, stable bioinks combining the biomimetically mineralized collagen with alginate (AG) (1:1, 1:2, 1:3, and AG) solution were used for 3D printing of hydrogels. The addition of Ca2+ ions into the system did present a synergistic effect: by one side, the in situ mineralization of the collagen occurred, and at same time, they were also useful to ionically cross-link the blends with alginate, avoiding the addition of any cytotoxic chemical cross-linking agent. Mouse fibroblast cell line survival during and after printing was favored by the presence of PG collagen as exhibited by the biological performance of the hydrogels. Inspired in a concept of marine byproduct valorization, 3D bioprinting of in situ mineralized blue shark collagen is thus proposed as a promising approach, envisioning the engineering of mineralized tissues.

Abstract
The loss of bone tissue is a striking challenge in orthopedic surgery. Tissue engineering using various advanced biofunctional materials is considered a promising approach for the regeneration and substitution of impaired bone tissues. Recently, polymeric supportive scaffolds and biomaterials have been used to rationally promote the generation of new bone tissues. To restore the bone tissue in this context, biofunctional polymeric materials with significant mechanical robustness together with embedded materials can act as a supportive matrix for cellular proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic regeneration to replace defective tissues demands greater calcium deposits, high alkaline phosphatase activity, and profound upregulation of osteocalcin as a late osteogenic marker. Ideally, the bioactive polymeric scaffolds (BPSs) utilized for bone tissue engineering should impose no detrimental impacts and function as a carrier for the controlled delivery and release of the loaded molecules necessary for the bone tissue regeneration. In this review, we provide comprehensive insights into different synthetic and natural polymers used for the regeneration of bone tissue and discuss various technologies applied for the engineering of BPSs and their physicomechanical properties and biological effects.

Abstract
Chitin-derived hydrogels are commonly used in bone regeneration because of their high cell compatibility; however, their poor mechanical properties and little knowledge of the interaction between the materials and host cells have limited their practical application. Methods: To evaluate osteoinductivity and enhance the mechanical properties of a newly synthesized thermosensitive hydroxypropyl chitin hydrogel (HPCH), a mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-encapsulated HPCH was infused into a three-dimensional-printed poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/ nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) scaffold to form a hybrid scaffold. The mechanical properties and cell compatibility of the scaffold were tested. The interaction between macrophages and scaffold for angiogenesis and osteogenesis were explored in vitro and in vivo. Results: The hybrid scaffold showed improved mechanical properties and high cell viability. When MSCs were encapsulated in HPCH, osteo-differentiation was promoted properly via endochondral ossification. The co-culture experiments showed that the hybrid scaffold facilitated growth factor secretion from macrophages, thus promoting vascularization and osteoinduction. The Transwell culture proved that MSCs modulated the inflammatory response of HPCH. Additionally, subcutaneous implantation of MSC-encapsulated HPCH confirmed M2 activation. In situ evaluation of calvarial defects confirmed that the repair was optimal in the MSC-loaded HPCH + PCL/nHA group. Conclusions: PCL/nHA + HPCH hybrid scaffolds effectively promoted vascularization and osteoinduction via osteogenesis promotion and immunomodulation, which suggests promising applications for bone regeneration.

Bone tissue engineering is an ever-changing, rapidly evolving, and highly interdisciplinary field of study, where scientists try to mimic natural bone structure as closely as possible in order to facilitate bone healing. New insights from cell biology, specifically from mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and signaling, lead to new approaches in bone regeneration. Novel scaffold and drug release materials based on polysaccharides gain increasing attention due to their wide availability and good biocompatibility to be used as hydrogels and/or hybrid components for drug release and tissue engineering. This article reviews the current state of the art, recent developments, and future perspectives in polysaccharide-based systems used for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Introduction: Hierarchical nanofibrous scaffolds are emerging as a promising bone repair material due to their high cell adhesion activity and nutrient permeability. However, the existing method for hierarchical nanofibrous scaffolds fabrication is complicated and not perfectly suitable for further biomedical application in view of both structure and function. In this study, we constructed a hierarchical nanofibrous poly (l-lactic acid)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLLA/PCL) scaffold and further evaluated its bone healing ability. Methods: The hierarchical PLLA/PCL nanofibrous scaffold (PLLA/PCL) was prepared by one-pot TIPS and then rapidly mineralized at room temperature by an electrochemical deposition technique. After electrode-positioning at 2 V for 2 hrs, a scaffold coated with hydroxyapatite (M-PLLA/PCL) could be obtained. Results: The pore size of the M-PLLA/PCL scaffold was hierarchically distributed so as to match the biophysical structure for osteoblast growth. The M-PLLA/PCL scaffold showed better cell proliferation and osteogenesis activity compared to the PLLA/PCL scaffold. Further in vivo bone repair studies indicated that the M-PLLA/PCL scaffold could accelerate defect healing in 12 weeks. Conclusion: The results of this study implied that the as-prepared hydroxyapatite coated hierarchical PLLA/PCL nanofibrous scaffolds could be developed as a promising material for efficient bone tissue repair after carefully tuning the TIPS and electrodeposition parameters.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) homogenous scaffolds composed of natural biopolymers have been reported as superior candidates for bone tissue engineering. There are still remaining challenges in fabricating the functional scaffolds with gradient structures to similar with natural bone tissues, as well as high mechanical properties and excellent affinity to surround tissues. Herein, inspired by the natural bone structure, a gradient-structural scaffold composed of functional biopolymers was designed to provide an optimized 3D environment for promoting cell growth. To increase the interactions among the scaffolds, dopamine (DA) was employed to modify alginate (Alg) and needle-like nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) was prepared with quaternized chitosan as template. The obtained dopamine-modified alginate (Alg-DA) and quaternized chitosan-templated hydroxyapatite (QCHA) were then used to fabricate the porous gradient scaffold by "iterative layering" freeze-drying technique with further crosslinking by calcium ions (Ca2+ ). The as-prepared Alg-DA/QCHA gradient scaffolds were possessed seamlessly integrated layer structures and high levels of porosity at around 77.5%. Moreover, the scaffolds showed higher compression modules (1.7 MPa) than many other biopolyermic scaffolds. The gradient scaffolds showed appropriate degradation rate to satisfy with the time of the bone regeneration. Both human chondrocytes and fibroblasts could adhesive and growth well on the scaffolds in vitro. Furthermore, an excellent osteogenetic activity of the gradient scaffold can effectively promote the regeneration of the bone tissue and accelerate the repair of the bone defects in vivo, compared with that of the scaffold with the homogenous structure. The novel multilayered scaffold with gradient structure provided an interesting option for bone tissue engineering. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 107A: 1615-1627, 2019.
