Abstract
Large bone defects are the leading contributor to disability worldwide, affecting approximately 1.71 billion people. Conventional bone graft treatments show several disadvantages that negatively impact their therapeutic outcomes and limit their clinical practice. Therefore, much effort has been made to devise new and more effective approaches. In this context, bone tissue engineering (BTE), involving the use of biomaterials which are able to mimic the natural architecture of bone, has emerged as a key strategy for the regeneration of large defects. However, although different types of biomaterials for bone regeneration have been developed and investigated, to date, none of them has been able to completely fulfill the requirements of an ideal implantable material. In this context, in recent years, the field of nanotechnology and the application of nanomaterials to regenerative medicine have gained significant attention from researchers. Nanotechnology has revolutionized the BTE field due to the possibility of generating nanoengineered particles that are able to overcome the current limitations in regenerative strategies, including reduced cell proliferation and differentiation, the inadequate mechanical strength of biomaterials, and poor production of extrinsic factors which are necessary for efficient osteogenesis. In this review, we report on the latest in vitro and in vivo studies on the impact of nanotechnology in the field of BTE, focusing on the effects of nanoparticles on the properties of cells and the use of biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Repolarizing Tumor-Associated Macrophages and inducing immunogenic cell Death: A targeted liposomal strategy to boost cancer immunotherapy. Int J Pharm 2024; 651:123729.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy has shown promise in treating various malignancies. However, the presence of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) triggered by M2 tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and the limited tumor cell antigenicity have hindered its broader application. To address these challenges, we developed DOX/R837@ManL, a liposome loaded with imiquimod (R837) and doxorubicin (DOX), modified with mannose-polyethylene glycol (Man-PEG). DOX/R837@ManL employed a mannose receptor (MRC1)-mediated targeting strategy, allowing it to accumulate selectively at M2 Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) and tumor sites. R837, an immune adjuvant, promoted the conversion of immunosuppressive M2 TAMs into immunostimulatory M1 TAMs, and reshaped the immunosuppressive TME. Simultaneously, DOX release induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells and enhanced tumor cell antigenicity by promoting dendritic cells (DCs) maturation. Through targeted delivery, the synergistic action of R837 and DOX activated innate immunity and coordinated adaptive immunity, enhancing immunotherapy efficacy. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that DOX/R837@ManL effectively eliminated primary tumors and lung metastases, while also preventing tumor recurrence post-surgery. These findings highlighted the potential of DOX/R837@ManL as a promising strategy for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway plays a crucial role in bone development and regeneration. While BMP-2 is widely used as an alternative to autograft, its clinical application has raised concerns about adverse side effects and deteriorated bone quality. Therefore, there is a need to develop more sophisticated approaches to regulate BMP signaling and promote bone regeneration. Here, we present a novel complementary strategy that targets both BMP antagonist noggin and agonist Trb3 to enhance bone defect repair without the application of exogenous BMP-2. In vitro studies showed that overexpression of Trb3 with simultaneous noggin suppression significantly promotes osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. This was accompanied by increased BMP/Smad signaling. We also developed sterosome nanocarriers, a non-phospholipid liposomal system, to achieve non-viral mediated noggin suppression and Trb3 overexpression. The gene-loaded sterosomes were integrated onto an apatite-coated polymer scaffold for in vivo calvarial defect implantation, resulting in robust bone healing compared to BMP-2 treatments. Our work provides a promising alternative for high-quality bone formation by regulating expression of BMP agonists and antagonists.

Sustained Release of BMSC-EVs from 3D Printing Gel/HA/nHAP Scaffolds for Promoting Bone Regeneration in Diabetic Rats. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2203131.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in intercellular communication, and the function of EVs mainly depends on the state of source cells. To determine the effect of diabetic microenvironment on EVs secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), this work explores the effect of normal glucose (5.5 mm) cultured BMSCs derived EVs (NG-EVs) and high glucose (30 mm) cultured BMSCs derived EVs (HG-EVs) in regulating the migration, proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation of BMSCs in vitro. In order to improve the bioavailability of EVs, this work constructs a sustained release system of polydopamine (PDA) functionalized 3D printing gelatin/hyaluronic acid/nano-hydroxyapatite (Gel/HA/nHAP) scaffolds (S/PDA) and verifies its function in the calvarial defect model of diabetic rats. This work confirms that both NG-EVs and HG-EVs can promote proliferation and migration, inhibit apoptosis and promote osteogenic differentiation, but the function of HG-EVs is weaker than that of NG-EVs. Therefore, EVs secreted by autologous cells of diabetic patients are not suitable for self-repair. This work hopes that the 3D printing scaffold designed for sustained-release EVs will provide a new strategy for acellular tissue engineering bone repair in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Conventional intake of drugs and active substances is most often based on oral intake of an appropriate dose to achieve the desired effect in the affected area or source of pain. In this case, controlling their distribution in the body is difficult, as the substance also reaches other tissues. This phenomenon results in the occurrence of side effects and the need to increase the concentration of the therapeutic substance to ensure it has the desired effect. The scientific field of tissue engineering proposes a solution to this problem, which creates the possibility of designing intelligent systems for delivering active substances precisely to the site of disease conversion. The following review discusses significant current research strategies as well as examples of polymeric and composite carriers for protein and non-protein biomolecules designed for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
With population aging and increased life expectancy, an increasing number of people are facing musculoskeletal health problems that necessitate therapeutic intervention at defect sites. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has become a promising approach for bone graft substitutes as traditional treatments using autografts or allografts involve clinical complications. Significant advancements have been made in developing ideal BTE scaffolds that can integrate bioactive molecules promoting robust bone repair. Herein, we review bioactive scaffolds tuned for local bone regenerative therapy, particularly through integrating synthetic liposomal vesicles or extracellular vesicles to the scaffolds. Liposomes offer an excellent drug delivery system providing sustained release of the loaded bioactive molecules. Extracellular vesicles, with their inherent capacity to carry bioactive molecules, are emerging as an advanced substitute of synthetic nanoparticles and a novel cell-free therapy for bone regeneration. We discuss the recent advance in the use of synthetic liposomes and extracellular vesicles as bioactive materials combined with scaffolds, highlighting major challenges and opportunities for their applications in bone regeneration. We put a particular focus on strategies to integrate vesicles to various biomaterial scaffolds and introduce the latest advances in achieving sustained release of bioactive molecules from the vesicle-loaded scaffolds at the bone defect site.

Abstract
The need for bone repair and insight into new regeneration therapies as well as improvement of existing regeneration routes is constantly increasing as a direct consequence of the rise in the number of trauma victims, musculoskeletal disorders, and increased life expectancy. Bisphosphonates (BPs) have emerged as a class of drugs with proven efficacy against many bone disorders. The most recent ability of this class of drugs is being explored in its anti-cancer ability. However, despite the pharmacological success, there are certain shortcomings that have circumvented this class of the drug. The mediation of biomaterials in delivering bisphosphonates has greatly helped in overcoming some of these shortcomings. This article is focused on reviewing the benefits the bisphosphonates have provided upon getting delivered via the use of biomaterials. Furthermore, the role of bisphosphonates as a potent anticancer agent is also accounted. It is witnessed that employing engineering tools in combination with therapeutics has the potential to provide solutions to bone loss from degenerative, surgical, or traumatic processes, and also aid in accelerating the healing of large bone fractures and problematic non-union fractures. The role of nanotechnology in enhancing the efficacy of the bisphosphonates is also reviewed and innovative approaches are identified.

Abstract
Biofilms of multidrug-resistant bacteria in chronic wounds pose a great challenge in wound care. Herein, we report the topical delivery of molecularly engineered antimicrobial peptides using electrospun nanofiber dressings as a carrier for the treatment of biofilms of multidrug-resistant bacteria in diabetic wounds. Molecularly engineered human cathelicidin peptide 17BIPHE2 was successfully encapsulated in the core of pluronic F127/17BIPHE2-PCL core-shell nanofibers. The in vitro release profiles of 17BIPHE2 showed an in initial burst followed by a sustained release over 4 weeks. The peptide nanofiber formulations effectively killed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) USA300. Similarly, the 17BIPHE2 peptide containing nanofibers could also effectively kill other bacteria including Klebsiella pneumoniae (104 to 106 CFU) and Acinetobacter baumannii (104 to 107 CFU) clinical strains in vitro without showing evident cytotoxicity to skin cells and monocytes. Importantly, 17BIPHE2-containing nanofiber dressings without debridement caused five-magnitude decreases of the MRSA USA300 CFU in a biofilm-containing chronic wound model based on type II diabetic mice. In combination with debridement, 17BIPHE2-containing nanofiber dressings could completely eliminate the biofilms, providing one possible solution to chronic wound treatment. Taken together, the biodegradable nanofiber-based wound dressings developed in this study can be utilized to effectively deliver molecularly engineered peptides to treat biofilm-containing chronic wounds.

Abstract
The therapeutic potential of liposomes can be amplified when combined with biomaterial scaffolds. Such configurations overcome the convergent demands of therapies by enabling enhanced delivery, environmental responsiveness and potency. Liposomes benefit from the increased physical and mechanical strength, favorable rheological properties and natural environment conducive to improved tissue formation that scaffolds provide, while enabling biocompatible delivery of hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds that can be further functionalized to achieve targeted delivery. Topical, ocular, oral, nasal and vaginal applications have been explored using various polymer- or nanofiber-based scaffolds. Mechanistic and rheological findings on complexation between biomaterials, liposomes and cargo have led to multimodal systems with tremendous clinical potential. A review of the key developments in bioengineered liposome-scaffold composites is presented in this manuscript.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most utilized drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis, and are usefully employed also for other pathologies characterized by abnormally high bone resorption, including bone metastases. Due to the great affinity of these drugs for calcium ions, calcium phosphates are ideal delivery systems for local administration of BPs to bone, which is aimed to avoid/limit the undesirable side effects of their prolonged systemic use. Direct synthesis in aqueous medium and chemisorptions from solution are the two main routes proposed to synthesize BP functionalized calcium phosphates. The present review overviews the information acquired through the studies on the interaction between bisphosphonate molecules and calcium phosphates. Moreover, particular attention is addressed to some important recent achievements on the applications of BP functionalized calcium phosphates as biomaterials for bone substitution/repair.

Abstract
The current need for long lasting implants and bone substitutes characterized by biocompatibility, bioactivity and mechanical properties, without the immune rejection is a great challenge for scientists. These bone substitute structures should be prepared for individual patients with all details controlled on the micrometer level. Similarly, nontoxic, biocompatible targeted drug delivery systems which allow controlling the rate and time period of the drug delivery and simultaneously eliminating toxic and side effects on the healthy tissues, are of great interest. Extensive attempts have been made to develop a simple, efficient, and green method to form biofunctional scaffolds and implant coatings possessing the above mentioned significant biocompatibility, bioactivity and mechanical strength. Moreover, that could also serve as drug delivery systems. Hydroxyapatite (HA) which is a major mineral component of vertebrate bones and teeth is an excellent material for these purposes. In this literature review the biologically inspired scaffolds, bone substitutes, implants characterized by mechanical strength and biocompatibility, as well the drug delivery systems, based on hydroxyapatite are discussed.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) envisions the creation of functional substitutes for damaged tissues through integrated solutions, where medical, biological, and engineering principles are combined. Bone regeneration is one of the areas in which designing a model that mimics all tissue properties is still a challenge. The hierarchical structure and high vascularization of bone hampers a TE approach, especially in large bone defects. Nanotechnology can open up a new era for TE, allowing the creation of nanostructures that are comparable in size to those appearing in natural bone. Therefore, nanoengineered systems are now able to more closely mimic the structures observed in naturally occurring systems, and it is also possible to combine several approaches - such as drug delivery and cell labeling - within a single system. This review aims to cover the most recent developments on the use of different nanoparticles for bone TE, with emphasis on their application for scaffolds improvement; drug and gene delivery carriers, and labeling techniques. © 2017 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
Background:
Bisphosphonates are drugs commonly used for the medication and prevention of diseases caused by decreased mineral density. Despite such important medicinal use, they display a variety of physiologic activities, which make them promising anti-cancer, anti-protozoal, antibacterial and antiviral agents.
Objective:
To review physiological activity of bisphosphonates with special emphasis on their ongoing and potential applications in medicine and agriculture.
Method:
Critical review of recent literature data.
Results:
Comprehensive review of activities revealed by bisphosphonates.
Conclusion:
although bisphosphonates are mostly recognized by their profound effects on bone physiology their medicinal potential has not been fully evaluated yet. Literature data considering enzyme inhibition suggest possibilities of far more wide application of these compounds. These applications are, however, limited by their low bioavailability and therefore intensive search for new chemical entities overcoming this shortage are carried out.

Abstract
The high concentration of mineral present in bone and pathological calcifications is unique compared with all other tissues and thus provides opportunity for targeted delivery of pharmaceutical drugs, including radiosensitizers and imaging probes. Targeted delivery enables accumulation of a high local dose of a therapeutic or imaging contrast agent to diseased bone or pathological calcifications. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are the most widely utilized bone-targeting ligand due to exhibiting high binding affinity to hydroxyapatite mineral. BPs can be conjugated to an agent that would otherwise have little or no affinity for the sites of interest. This article summarizes the current state of knowledge and practice for the use of BPs as ligands for targeted delivery to bone and mineral deposits. The clinical history of BPs is briefly summarized to emphasize the success of these molecules as therapeutics for metabolic bone diseases. Mechanisms of binding and the relative binding affinity of various BPs to bone mineral are introduced, including common methods for measuring binding affinity in vitro and in vivo. Current research is highlighted for the use of BP ligands for targeted delivery of BP conjugates in various applications, including (1) therapeutic drug delivery for metabolic bone diseases, bone cancer, other bone diseases, and engineered drug delivery platforms; (2) imaging probes for scintigraphy, fluorescence, positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and computed tomography; and (3) radiotherapy. Last, and perhaps most importantly, key structure-function relationships are considered for the design of drugs with BP ligands, including the tether length between the BP and drug, the size of the drug, the number of BP ligands per drug, cleavable tethers between the BP and drug, and conjugation schemes.

Abstract
During the last two decades although many calcium phosphate based nanomaterials have been proposed for both drug delivery, and bone regeneration, their coating applications have been somehow slow due to the problems related to their complicated synthesis methods. In order to control the efficiency of local drug delivery of a biomaterial the critical pore sizes as well as good control of the chemical composition is pertinent. A variety of calcium phosphate based nanocoated composite drug delivery systems are currently being investigated. This review aims to give an update into the advancements of calcium phosphate nanocoatings and thin film nanolaminates. In particular recent research on PLA/hydroxyapatite composite thin films and coatings into the slow drug delivery for the possible treatment of osteomyelitis is covered.

Abstract
This work focuses on improving the efficacy of photoactivatable Ru complexes for photodynamic therapy by employing cross-linked nanoassemblies (CNAs) as a delivery approach. The effects of complex photoactivation, hydrophobicity, and solution ionic strength and pH on complex loading and release from CNAs were analyzed. The cell cytotoxicity of CNA formulations was similar to free Ru complexes despite reduced or eliminated DNA interactions. The release rate and the amount of each Ru complex released (%) varied inversely with complex hydrophobicity, while the effect of solution ionic strength was dependent on complex hydrophobicity. Premature release of two photoactivatable prodrugs prior to irradiation was believed to account for higher activity in cells studies compared to DNA interaction studies; however, for photostable 1O2 generator-loaded CNAs this cannot explain the high cytotoxicity and lack of DNA interactions because release was incomplete after 48 hrs. The cause remains unclear, but among other possibilities, accelerated release in a cell culture environment may be responsible.

Abstract
Osteoporosis involves hyperactive osteoclasts. A large number of current drugs result in side effects affecting their efficacy in the clinic. Polyphosphoesters are unique polymeric biomaterials because of their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and bone affinity. We studied the viability and ability of human osteoclasts to resorb bone when dosed with poly(ethylene sodium phosphate) (PEP·Na). This did not trigger any change in osteoblast cell viability, however the polymer diminished human osteoclasts and their ability to resorb bone at concentrations as low as 10(-4) m · mL(-1). This is the first report to validate the possibility of using polyphosphoesters for selective inhibition of human osteoclast functions, indicating its potential to be used as an effective polymer prodrug for treatment of osteoporosis.

Abstract
The inability to deliver bioactive agents locally in a transient but sustained manner is one of the challenges on the development of bio-functionalized scaffolds for tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine. The mode of release is especially relevant when the bioactive agent is a growth factor (GF), because the dose and the spatiotemporal release of such agents at the site of injury are crucial to achieve a successful outcome. Strategies that combine scaffolds and drug delivery systems have the potential to provide more effective tissue regeneration relative to current therapies. Nanoparticles (NPs) can protect the bioactive agents, control its profile, decrease the occurrence and severity of side effects and deliver the bioactive agent to the target cells maximizing its effect. Scaffolds containing NPs loaded with bioactive agents can be used for their local delivery, enabling site-specific pharmacological effects such as the induction of cell proliferation and differentiation, and, consequently, neo-tissue formation. This review aims to describe the concept of combining NPs with scaffolds, and the current efforts aiming to develop highly multi-functional bioactive agent release systems, with the emphasis on their application in TE of connective tissues.

Abstract
Bone metastasis is one of the leading causes of death in breast cancer patients. The current treatment is performed as a palliative therapy and the adverse side effects can compromise the patients' quality of life. In order to both effectively treat bone metastasis and avoid the limitation of current strategies, we have invented a drug eluting scaffold with clay matrix release doxorubicin (DESCLAYMR_DOX) to mechanically support the structure after resecting the metastatic tissue while also releasing the anticancer drug doxorubicin which supplements growth inhibition and elimination of the remaining tumor cells. We have previously demonstrated that this device has the capacity to regenerate the bone and provide sustained release of the anticancer drug in vitro. In this study, we focus on the ability of the device to inhibit cancer cell growth in vitro as well as in vivo. Drug-release kinetics was investigated and the cell viability test showed that the tumor inhibitory effect is sustained for up to 4weeks in vitro. Subcutaneous implantation of DESCLAYMR_DOX in athymic mice resulted in significant growth inhibition of human tumor xenografts of breast origin and decelerated multi-organ metastasis formation. Fluorescence images, visualizing doxorubicin, showed a sustained drug release from the DESCLAYMR device in vivo. Furthermore, local use of DESCLAYMR_DOX implantation reduced the incidence of doxorubicin's cardio-toxicity. These results suggest that DESCLAYMR_DOX can be used in reconstructive surgery to support the structure after bone tumor resection and facilitate a sustained release of anticancer drugs in order to prevent tumor recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bisphosphonates (BPs) were introduced 45 years ago as anti-osteoporotic drugs and during the last decade have been utilized as bone-targeting groups in systemic treatment of bone diseases. Very recently, strategies of chemical immobilization of BPs in hydrogels and nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering emerged. These strategies opened new applications of BPs in bone tissue engineering. AREAS COVERED Conjugates of BPs to different drug molecules, imaging agents, proteins and polymers are discussed in terms of specific targeting to bone and therapeutic affect induced by the resulting prodrugs in comparison with the parent drugs. Conversion of these conjugates into hydrogel scaffolds is also presented along with the application of the resulting materials for bone tissue engineering. EXPERT OPINION Calcium-binding properties of BPs can be successfully extended via different conjugation strategies not only for purposes of bone targeting, but also in supramolecular assembly affording either new nanocarriers or bulk nanocomposite scaffolds. Interaction between carrier-linked BPs and drug molecules should also be considered for the control of release of these molecules and their optimized delivery. Bone-targeting properties of BP-functionalized nanomaterials should correspond to bone adhesive properties of their bulk analogs.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to present the most recent findings in bone tissue engineering. Special attention is given to multifunctional materials based on collagen and collagen-hydroxyapatite composites used for skin and bone cancer treatments. The multi-functionality of these materials was obtained by adding to the base regenerative grafts proper components, such as ferrites (magnetite being the most important representative), cytostatics (cisplatin, carboplatin, vincristine, methotrexate, paclitaxel, doxorubicin), silver nanoparticles, antibiotics (anthracyclines, geldanamycin), and/or analgesics (ibuprofen, fentanyl). The suitability of complex systems for the intended applications was systematically analyzed. The developmental possibilities of multifunctional materials with regenerative and curative roles (antitumoral as well as pain management) in the field of skin and bone cancer treatment are discussed. It is worth mentioning that better materials are likely to be developed by combining conventional and unconventional experimental strategies.

Abstract
Collagen is one of the most attractive materials for the development of matrices for tissue engineering, due to its excellent biocompatibility and non-toxic bioresorption. The present work describes a collagen-based externally controlled drug-eluting scaffold which consists of drug encapsulated thermoresponsive liposomes covalently attached to the surface of a functionalized collagen-based scaffold. The model drug used in this work was PTHrP 107-111, a pentapeptide with pro-osteogenic and antiosteoclastic activity. An osteoconductive collagen-hydroxyapatite scaffold, designed specifically for bone repair, was used as a model scaffold. The results demonstrate that it is possible to modify the kinetics of release of the drug from the scaffold with the application of an external thermal stimulus (42°C, 20min). In vitro studies carried out with pre-osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells demonstrated that neither the attachment of liposomes to the surface of the scaffolds nor the hyperthermic pulse negatively affected the ability of cells to attach and proliferate on the scaffolds. Importantly, the on-demand release of PTHrP 107-111 had a pro-osteogenic effect, as shown by the enhancement of alkaline phosphatase activity, an early osteogenic marker, which correlated with increased expression of the osteogenic genes osteopontin and osteocalcin. In conclusion, the scaffold-based release system developed in this study has immense potential for tuning the delivery of a diverse range of drugs which can be applied for the regeneration of a variety of tissue types.

Abstract
Deep-red fluorescent molecular probes are described that have a dendritic molecular architecture with a squaraine rotaxane core scaffold and multiple peripheral iminodiacetate groups as the bone targeting units. Iminodiacetates have an inherently lower bone affinity than bisphosphonates, and a major goal of the study was to determine how many appended iminodiacetate groups are required for effective deep-red fluorescence imaging of bone in living rodents. A series of in vitro and in vivo imaging studies showed that a tetra(iminodiacetate) probe stains bones much more strongly than an analogous bis(iminodiacetate) probe. In addition, a control tetra(iminodipropionate) probe exhibited no bone targeting ability. The tetra(iminodiacetate) probe targeted the same regions of high bone turnover as the near-infrared bisphosphonate probe OsteoSense750. Longitudinal studies showed that the fluorescence image signal from living mice treated with the tetra(iminodiacetate) probe was much more stable over 19 days than the signal from OsteoSense750. The narrow emission band of the tetra(iminodiacetate) probe makes it very attractive for inclusion in multiplex imaging protocols that employ a mixture of multiple fluorescent probes in preclinical studies of bone growth or in fluorescence guided surgery. The results also suggest that molecules or nanoparticles bearing multivalent iminodiacetate groups have promise as bone targeting agents with tunable properties for various pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to perform a number of preliminary in vitro evaluations on an array of modified gelatin gel sponge scaffolds for use in a bone graft application. The gelatin gels were modified through the addition of a number of components which each possess unique properties conducive to the creation and regeneration of bone: a preparation rich in growth factors (PRGF, a bioactive, lyophilized form of platelet-rich plasma), hydroxyapatite, and chitin whiskers. Platelet-rich plasma therapy is an emerging practice that has proven effective in a number of clinical applications, including enhancing bone repair through improved deposition of new bony matrix and angiogenesis. As such, the inclusion of PRGF in our gelatin scaffolds was intended to significantly enhance scaffold bioactivity, while the addition of hydroxyapatite and chitin whiskers were anticipated to increase scaffold strength. Additionally, the gelatin sponges, which readily dissolve in aqueous solutions, were subjected to 1-Ethyl-3-[3-dimethylaminopropyl]carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) cross-linking, either during or post-gelation, to control their rate of degradation. Scaffolds were evaluated in vitro with respect to compressive strength, mass loss/degradation, protein release, and cellular interaction, with results demonstrating the potential of the gelatin gel sponge scaffold for use in the regeneration of bone.

Abstract
Bisphosphonates (BPs) are a group of well-established drugs that are applied in the development of metabolic bone disorder-related therapies. There is increasing interest also in the application of BPs in the context of bone tissue engineering, which is the topic of this review, in which an extensive overview of published studies on the development and applications of BPs-based strategies for bone regeneration is provided with special focus on the rationale for the use of different BPs in three-dimensional (3D) bone tissue scaffolds. The different alternatives that are investigated to address the delivery and sustained release of these therapeutic drugs in the nearby tissues are comprehensively discussed, and the most significant published approaches on bisphosphonate-conjugated drugs in multifunctional 3D scaffolds as well as the role of BPs within coatings for the improved fixation of orthopedic implants are presented and critically evaluated. Finally, the authors' views regarding the remaining challenges in the fields and directions for future research efforts are highlighted.

Abstract
Recent efforts of bone repair focus on development of porous scaffolds for cell adhesion and proliferation. Collagen-nanohydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds (70:30; 50:50; and 30:70 mass percentage) were produced by cryogelation technique using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide as crosslinking agents. A pure collagen scaffold was used as control. Morphology analysis revealed that all cryogels had highly porous structure with interconnective porosity and the nanoHA aggregates were randomly dispersed throughout the scaffold structure. Chemical analysis showed the presence of all major peaks related to collagen and HA in the biocomposites and indicated possible interaction between nanoHA aggregates and collagen molecules. Porosity analysis revealed an enhancement in the surface area as the nanoHA percentage increased in the collagen structure. The biocomposites showed improved mechanical properties as the nanoHA content increased in the scaffold. As expected, the swelling capacity decreased with the increase of nanoHA content. In vitro studies with osteoblasts cells showed that they were able to attach and spread in all cryogels surfaces. The presence of collagen-nanoHA biocomposites resulted in higher overall cellular proliferation compared to pure collagen scaffold. A statistically significant difference between collagen and collagen-nanoHA cryogels was observed after 21 day of cell culture. These innovative collagen-nanoHA cryogels could have potentially appealing application as scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Abstract
An aging population in the developing world has led to an increase in musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoporosis and bone metastases. Left untreated many bone diseases cause debilitating pain and in the case of cancer, death. Many potential drugs are effective in treating diseases but result in side effects preventing their efficacy in the clinic. Bone, however, provides a unique environment of inorganic solids, which can be exploited in order to effectively target drugs to diseased tissue. By integration of bone targeting moieties to drug-carrying water-soluble polymers, the payload to diseased area can be increased while side effects decreased. The realization of clinically relevant bone targeted polymer therapeutics depends on (1) understanding bone targeting moiety interactions, (2) development of controlled drug delivery systems, as well as (3) understanding drug interactions. The latter makes it possible to develop bone targeted synergistic drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Bone-specific drug delivery is important for the treatment of osteoporosis and osseous metastases. However, there have been limitations in the design of drug carriers having bone affinity. We synthesized amphiphilic polyphosphoester ionomers (CH-PHE) and modified them to 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) vesicles. The ζ-potential of the vesicles was decreased by immobilization of CH-PHE; the amount was influenced by the structure and fraction of CH-PHE. The release rate of 5-carboxyfluorescein from the vesicles could be controlled by changing the fraction of DOPC and CH-PHE. In particular, the release of CF from DOPC vesicles containing 3% CH-PHE was most reduced. In addition, the enzymatic degradation of DOPC was reduced by immobilization with polyphosphoester ionomers; enzyme tolerance was increased with an increase in the molar fraction of polyphosphoester ionomers. Hemolytic activity of the phospholipid vesicles bearing CH-PHE was infrequently observed and was similar to that of the DOPC vesicles. Although a decrease in the viability of mouse osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) in contact with the vesicles bearing CH-PHE was observed when the DOPC concentration of the vesicles bearing 20 mol % CH-PHE with highly ionized units was greater than 200 μM, the cytotoxicity was diminished by sodium salt formation of the CH-PHE. The affinity of the vesicles to calcium deposits generated by MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly improved by the immobilization polyphosphoesters.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop novel biomineral-binding liposomes (BBL) for the prevention of orthopedic implant associated osteomyelitis. METHODS A biomineral-binding lipid, alendronate-tri(ethyleneglycol)-cholesterol conjugate (ALN-TEG-Chol), was synthesized through Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (a versatile click reaction). Mixing with other excipients, the new lipid was used to develop BBL. Thermodynamic behavior was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In vitro biomineral-binding potential and kinetics were evaluated on hydroxyapatite (HA, a widely used material for orthopedic implant devices) particles. Oxacillin was encapsulated into BBL and used for in vitro evaluation in preventing Staphylococcus aureus biofilm formation. RESULTS DSC analysis showed that ALN-TEG-Chol could inhibit the phase transition of liposomes by reducing its cooperativity, yielding liposomes with thermodynamic stability similar to liposomes containing regular cholesterol. BBL showed fast and strong binding ability to HA. Oxacillin-loading BBL demonstrated significantly better preventive efficacy against bacteria colonization when challenged with S. aureus isolate, implying its potential in preventing orthopedic implant associated osteomyelitis. CONCLUSIONS In this proof of concept study, novel BBL has been successfully developed and validated for reducing the frequency of implantable device-related infections.
