Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed biodegradable polymer scaffolds are at the forefront of personalized constructs for bone tissue engineering. However, it remains challenging to create a biological microenvironment for bone growth. Herein, we developed a novel yet feasible approach to facilitate biomimetic mineralization via self-adaptive nanotopography, which overcomes difficulties in the surface biofunctionalization of 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. The building blocks of self-adaptive nanotopography were PCL lamellae that formed on the 3D-printed PCL scaffold via surface-directed epitaxial crystallization and acted as a linker to nucleate and generate hydroxyapatite crystals. Accordingly, a uniform and robust mineralized layer was immobilized throughout the scaffolds, which strongly bound to the strands and had no effect on the mechanical properties of the scaffolds. In vitro cell culture experiments revealed that the resulting scaffold was biocompatible and enhanced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryolous osteoblast cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the resulting scaffold showed a strong capability to accelerate in vivo bone regeneration using a rabbit bone defect model. This study provides valuable opportunities to enhance the application of 3D-printed scaffolds in bone repair, paving the way for translation to other orthopedic implants.

Abstract
The use of the FDA-approved osteoinductive growth factor BMP2 is widespread for bone regeneration. However, its clinical application has been hindered by limitations in cell permeability and a short half-life in circulation. To address this issue, we have developed a modified version of BMP2, referred to as Cell Permeable (CP)-BMP2, which possesses improved cell permeability. CP-BMP2 incorporates an advanced macromolecular transduction domain (aMTD) to facilitate transfer across the plasma membrane, a solubilization domain, and recombinant human BMP2. Compared to traditional rhBMP2, CP-BMP2 exhibits enhanced cell permeability, solubility, and bioavailability, and activates Smad phosphorylation through binding to BMP receptor 2. The effectiveness of CP-BMP2 was evaluated in three animal studies focusing on bone regeneration. In the initial study, mice and rabbits with critical-size calvarial defects received subcutaneous (SC) injections of CP-BMP2 and rhBMP2 (7.5 mg/kg, 3 injections per week for 8 weeks).Following 8 weeks of administration, CP-BMP2 demonstrated a remarkable 65 % increase in bone formation in mice when compared to both the vehicle and rhBMP2. Moreover, rabbits exhibited faster bone formation, characterized by a filling pattern originating from the center. In a subsequent study involving injured horses, hind limb bones treated with CP-BMP2 exhibited an 85 % higher bone regeneration rate, as evidenced by Micro-CT results, in contrast to horses treated with the vehicle or rhBMP2 (administered at 150 μg/defect, subcutaneously, once a week for 8 weeks, without a scaffold). These results underscore the potential of CP-BMP2 to facilitate rapid and effective healing. No noticeable adverse effects, such as ectopic bone formation, were observed in any of the studies. Overall, our findings demonstrate that CP-BMP2 holds therapeutic potential as a novel and effective osteogenic agent.

Abstract
Introduction: Congenital or acquired bone defects in the oral and cranio-maxillofacial (OCMF) regions can seriously affect the normal function and facial appearance of patients, and cause great harm to their physical and mental health. To achieve good bone defect repair results, the prosthesis requires good osteogenic ability, appropriate porosity, and precise three-dimensional shape. Tantalum (Ta) has better mechanical properties, osteogenic ability, and microstructure compared to Ti6Al4V, and has become a potential alternative material for bone repair. The bones in the OCMF region have unique shapes, and 3D printing technology is the preferred method for manufacturing personalized prosthesis with complex shapes and structures. The surface characteristics of materials, such as surface morphology, can affect the biological behavior of cells. Among them, nano-topographic surface modification can endow materials with unique surface properties such as wettability and large surface area, enhancing the adhesion of osteoblasts and thereby enhancing their osteogenic ability. Methods: This study used 3D-printed porous tantalum scaffolds, and constructed nano-topographic surface through hydrothermal treatment. Its osteogenic ability was verified through a series of in vitro and in vivo experiments. Results: The porous tantalum modified by nano-topographic surface can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and accelerate the formation of new bone in the Angle of the mandible bone defect of rabbits. Discussion: It can be seen that 3D-printed nano-topographic surface modified porous tantalum has broad application prospects in the repair of OCMF bone defects.

Abstract
Understanding interactions between bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and biomaterials is of great significance in preserving the structure and bioactivity of BMPs when utilized in clinical applications. Currently, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is one of the most important growth factors in bone tissue engineering; however, atomistic interactions between BMP-2 and zinc-substituted hydroxyapatite (Zn-HAP, commonly used in artificial bone implants) have not been well clarified until now. Thus, in this work, the interaction energies, binding/debinding states, and molecular structures of BMP-2 upon a series of Zn-HAP surfaces (Zn-HAPs, 1 at%, 2.5 at%, 5 at%, and 10 at% substitution) were investigated by hybrid molecular dynamics (MD) and steered molecular dynamics (SMD) simulations. Meanwhile, cellular studies including alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay were performed to verify the theoretical modeling findings. It was found that, compared to pure HAP, Zn-HAPs exhibited a higher binding affinity of BMP-2 at the adsorption process; meanwhile, the detachment of BMP-2 upon Zn-HAPs was more difficult at the desorption process. In addition, molecular structures of BMP-2 could be well stabilized upon Zn-HAPs, especially for Zn10-HAP (with a 10 at% substitution), which showed both the higher stability of cystine-knots and less change in the secondary structures of BMP-2 than those upon HAP. Cellular studies confirmed that higher ALP activity and osteogenic marker gene expression were achieved upon BMP-2/Zn-HAPs than those upon BMP-2/HAP. These findings verified that Zn-HAPs favor the adsorption of BMP-2 and leverage the bioactivity of BMP-2. Together, this work clarified the interaction mechanisms between BMP-2 and Zn-HAPs at the atom level, which could provide new molecular-level insights into the design of BMP-2-loaded biomaterials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
One of the major limitations during titanium (Ti) implant osseointegration is the poor cellular interactions at the biointerface. In the present study, the combined effect of recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (rhBMP-2) and nanopatterned Ti6Al4V fabricated with Directed irradiation synthesis (DIS) is investigated in vitro. This environmentally-friendly plasma uses ions to create self-organized nanostructures on the surfaces. Nanocones (≈36.7 nm in DIS 80°) and thinner nanowalls (≈16.5 nm in DIS 60°) were fabricated depending on DIS incidence angle and observed via scanning electron microscopy. All samples have a similar crystalline structure and wettability, except for sandblasted/acid-etched (SLA) and acid-etched/anodized (Anodized) samples which are more hydrophilic. Biological results revealed that the viability and adhesion properties (vinculin expression and cell spreading) of DIS 80° with BMP-2 were similar to those polished with BMP-2, yet we observed more filopodia on DIS 80° (≈39 filopodia/cell) compared to the other samples (<30 filopodia/cell). BMP-2 increased alkaline phosphatase activity in all samples, tending to be higher in DIS 80°. Moreover, in the mineralization studies, DIS 80° with BMP-2 and Anodized with BMP-2 increased the formation of calcium deposits (>3.3 fold) compared to polished with BMP-2. Hence, this study shows there is a synergistic effect of BMP-2 and DIS surface modification in improving Ti biological properties which could be applied to Ti bone implants to treat bone disease.

Abstract
Magnesium alloys with coatings have the potential to be used for bone substitute alternatives since their mechanical properties are close to those of human bone. However, the surface modification of magnesium alloys to increase the surface biocompatibility and reduce the degradation rate remains a challenge. Here, FHA-Mg scaffolds were made of magnesium alloys and coated with fluorohydroxyapatite (FHA). Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were cultured on FHA-Mg scaffolds and cell viability, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation were investigated. The results showed that FHA-Mg scaffolds display a nano-scaled needle-like structure of aggregated crystallites on their surface. The average Mg2+ concentration in the conditioned media collected from FHA-Mg scaffolds (5.8–7.6 mM) is much lower than those collected from uncoated, Mg(OH)2-coated, and hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated samples (32.1, 17.7, and 21.1 mM, respectively). In addition, compared with hMSCs cultured on a culture dish, cells cultured on FHA-Mg scaffolds demonstrated better proliferation and comparable osteogenic differentiation. To eliminate the effect of osteogenic induction medium, hMSCs were cultured on FHA-Mg scaffolds in culture medium and an approximate 66% increase in osteogenic differentiation was observed three weeks later, indicating a significant effect of the nanostructured surface of FHA-Mg scaffolds on hMSC behaviors. With controllable Mg2+ release and favorable mechanical properties, porous FHA-Mg scaffolds have a great potential in cell-based bone regeneration.

Abstract
The bioactivity assay originally proposed by Kokubo is one of the most commonly used tests to indirectly evaluate the biocompatibility of bioactive glasses. However, extensive evidence has shown that trace elements present in biomaterials may stimulate cellular behavior in different ways even when no apatite formation is observed, i.e., in biomaterials with low or no bioactivity. To further elucidate this topic, we designed three different SiO2-rich bioglass compositions in which CaO was partially replaced by ZnO and MgO, two oxides known to affect bioactivity as well as osteoblastic behavior. The physicochemical changes induced by the presence of oxides and their effects on biological behavior, as well as the adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of human osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cells (MG-63), were followed by a bioactivity assay in simulated body fluid (SBF). The insertion of ZnO or MgO decreased the glass transition (Tg) and crystallization (Tc) temperatures as a function of the increase in nonbonding oxygens, which was directly reflected in the higher solubility. The release of Mg2+ ions from the MgO-containing samples inhibited the bioactivity in SBF, inducing high cell adhesion and proliferation and moderate ALP activity. The release of Zn2+ also inhibited the bioactivity in SBF but, in contrast to the release of Mg2+, induced low cell adhesion and proliferation and high ALP activity compared to the control.

Abstract
Hybrid superparamagnetic microspheres with bone-like composition, previously developed by a bio-inspired assembling/mineralization process, are evaluated for their ability to uptake and deliver recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in therapeutically-relevant doses along with prolonged release profiles. The comparison with hybrid non-magnetic and with non-mineralized microspheres highlights the role of nanocrystalline, nanosize mineral phases when they exhibit surface charged groups enabling the chemical linking with the growth factor and thus moderating the release kinetics. All the microspheres show excellent osteogenic ability with human mesenchymal stem cells whereas the hybrid mineralized ones show a slow and sustained release of rhBMP-2 along 14 days of soaking into cell culture medium with substantially bioactive effect, as reported by assay with C2C12 BRE-Luc cell line. It is also shown that the release extent can be modulated by the application of pulsed electromagnetic field, thus showing the potential of remote controlling the bioactivity of the new micro-devices which is promising for future application of hybrid biomimetic microspheres in precisely designed and personalized therapies.

Abstract
Surface modification of orthopedic and dental implants has been demonstrated to be an effective strategy to accelerate bone healing at early implantation times. Among the different alternatives, coating implants with a layer of hydroxyapatite (HAp) is one of the most used techniques, due to its excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductive behavior. The composition and crystalline structure of HAp allow for numerous ionic substitutions that provide added value, such as antibiotic properties or osteoinduction. In this article, we will review and critically analyze the most important advances in the field of substituted hydroxyapatite coatings. In recent years substituted HAp coatings have been deposited not only on orthopedic prostheses and dental implants, but also on macroporous scaffolds, thus expanding their applications towards bone regeneration therapies. Besides, the capability of substituted HAps to immobilize proteins and growth factors by non-covalent interactions has opened new possibilities for preparing hybrid coatings that foster bone healing processes. Finally, the most important in vivo outcomes will be discussed to understand the prospects of substituted HAp coatings from a clinical point of view.

In this study, the hydrothermal synthesis is employed to produce protective bioactive hydroxyapatite coating (HAC) and strontium-substituted hydroxyapatite coating (Sr-HAC) to further enhance the corrosion resistance and in vitro biocompatibility of biodegradable AZ91D Mg alloy in physiological environments. For comparison, the brucite Mg(OH)2 prepared by the alkaline pre-treatment is designated as a control group. Experimental evidences of XRD and XPS analysis confirm that Sr2+ ions can be incorporated into HA crystal structure. It is noted that the hydrothermally synthesized Sr-HAC conversion coating composed of a specific surface topography with the nanoscaled flake-like fine crystallites is constructed on the AZ91D Mg alloy. The hydrophilicity of Mg substrate is effectively enhanced with the decrease in static contact angles after performing alkaline and hydrothermal treatments. Potentiodynamic polarization measurements reveal that the nanostructured Sr-HAC-coated specimens exhibit superior corrosion resistance than HAC and alkaline pre-treated Mg(OH)2. Moreover, immersion tests demonstrate that Sr-HAC provides favorable long-term stability for the Mg alloy with decreasing concentration of released Mg2+ ions in the SBF and the reduced corrosion rate during the immersion length of 30 days. The cells cultured on Sr-HAC specimens exhibit higher viability than those on the alkaline-pre-treated Mg(OH)2 and HAC specimens. The Sr-substituted HA coating with a nanostructured surface topography can help to stimulate the cell viability of osteoblastic cells.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) exhibit a rapid loss in osteogenic phenotype upon removal of osteoinductive cues, as commonly occurs during transplantation. Osteogenic differentiation can be more effectively but not fully maintained by aggregating MSCs into spheroids. Therefore, the development of effective strategies that prolong the efficacy of inductive growth factors would be advantageous for advancing cell-based therapies. To address this challenge, osteoinductive bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was adsorbed to osteoconductive hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles for incorporation into MSC spheroids. MSC induction was evaluated in osteogenic conditions and retention of the osteogenic phenotype in the absence of other osteogenic cues. HA was more uniformly incorporated into spheroids at lower concentrations, while BMP-2 dosage was dependent upon initial morphogen concentration. MSC spheroids containing BMP-2-loaded HA nanoparticles exhibited greater alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and more uniform spatial expression of osteocalcin compared to spheroids with uncoated HA nanoparticles. Spheroids cultured in media containing soluble BMP-2 demonstrated differentiation only at the spheroid periphery. Furthermore, the osteogenic phenotype of MSC spheroids was better retained with BMP-2-laden HA upon the removal of soluble osteogenic cues. These findings represent a promising strategy for simultaneous delivery of osteoconductive and osteoinductive signals for enhancing MSC participation in bone formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biodegradable implant coatings promote proliferation and expression of BMP-2, VEGF, and TGF-β2 genes and enhance BMP-2, VEGF, and TGF-β2 regulatory effects at different stages of reparative osteogenesis. OBJECTIVE To study the topography and ratio of PCNA-, VEGF-, BMP-2-, and TGF-β2-immunoreactive cells in rat femoral bone after closed fracture and implantation of titanium implants with biodegradable calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite coatings. METHODS Standard titanium implant screws and similar implants with bioactive coatings were used. A total of 18 rats were randomly divided into three groups, two experimental and a control one. The rats in the first experimental group were implanted with implants without specific coating, while those in the second group, with implants with specific coatings. The control rats were subjected to the same fracture as the experimental ones without subsequent implantation. On days 7, 14, and 30 of experiment, the rats were sampled for histological examination. Histological sections were prepared and processed for PCNA, BMP-2, VEGF, and TGF-β2 immunoreactivity. RESULTS In the regeneration zone, PCNA-immunoreactive cells substantially outnumbered other immunoreactive cell types. During the first two weeks after fracture, in the immediate vicinity of implant surface, the rate of VEGF production increased in osteoblast subpopulations and level of TGF-32 immunoreactivity decreased in chondroblasts. The level of TGF-32 was maximum on day 30 of experiment. BMP-2-immunoreactive osteocytes were found in the zone of external general plates. They accumulated at implants with calcium phosphate coating. Their number gradually increased by day 30 of experiment. CONCLUSIONS The present data suggest that biodegradable implant coatings promote proliferation and expression of BMP-2, VEGF, and TGF-β2 genes and enhance BMP-2, VEGF, and TGF-β2 regulatory effects at different stages of reparative osteogenesis.

Abstract
Interactions between bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and biomaterial surfaces are of great significance in the fields of regenerative medicine and bone tissue engineering. In this work, the adsorption and desorption behaviors of BMP-2 on a series of nano-textured hydroxyapatite (HAP) surfaces were systematically investigated by combined molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and steered molecular dynamic (SMD) simulations. The textured HAP surfaces exhibited nanostructured topographies and played a critical role in the mediation of dynamic behaviors of BMP-2. Compared to the HAP-flat model, the HAP-1:1 group (means ridge vs groove = 1:1) showed the excellent ability to capture BMP-2, less conformation change of BMP-2 molecule, and high cysteine-knot stability during the adsorption and desorption processes. These findings suggest that nano-textured HAP surfaces are more capable of loading BMP-2 molecules, and most importantly, they can help maintain a higher biological activity of BMP-2 cargos. In the present study, for the first time, we have deeply clarified the adsorption and desorption dynamics of BMP-2 on various nano-textured HAP surfaces at the atomic level, which can provide significant guidelines for the future design of BMP-2-based tissue engineering implants/scaffolds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: By using combined molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and steered molecular dynamic (SMD) simulations, the adsorption and desorption dynamics of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) dimer on a series of nano-textured hydroxyapatite (HAP) surfaces at the atomic level were presented in details for the first time. We have proved that the HAP-1:1 model (means ridge vs groove = 1:1) possessed excellent ability to capture BMP-2, less conformation change, and high cysteine-knot stability. As a result, the nano-textured topography of HAP-1:1 could maintain a relatively high biological activity of BMP-2 cargos. This work could provide theoretical guidelines for the design of BMP-2-based implants/scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Localization of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) with continuous and effective osteogenic stimulation is still a great challenge in the field of bone regeneration. To achieve this aim, rhBMP-2 was tethered on chondroitin sulfate (CS)-functionalized calcium phosphate cement (CPC) scaffolds through specific noncovalent interactions. CS, one of the core glycosaminoglycans, was covalently conjugated onto CPC scaffolds with the assistance of polydopamine (PDA) and further immobilized rhBMP-2 in a biomimetic form. The CPC-PDA-CS scaffolds not only controlled the release kinetics and presentation state of rhBMP-2 but also effectively increased the expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs) and enhanced the recognitions of the remaining rhBMP-2 to BMPRs. Strikingly, the rhBMP-2-loaded CPC-PDA-CS significantly promoted the cellular surface translocation of BMPRs (especially BMPR-IA). In vivo studies demonstrated that, compared with the rhBMP-2 upon CPC and CPC-PDA, the rhBMP-2 upon CPC-PDA-CS exhibited sustained release and induced high quality and more ectopic bone formation. Collectively, these results suggest that rhBMP-2 can be localized within CS-functionalized CPC scaffolds and exert continuous, long-term, and effective osteogenic stimulation. Thus, this work could provide new avenues in mimicking bone extracellular matrix microenvironment and localizing growth factor activity for enhanced bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE A bioinspired chondroitin sulfate (CS)-functionalized calcium phosphate cement (CPC) platform was developed to tether recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2), which could exhibit continuous, long-term, and effective osteogenic stimulation in bone tissue engineering. Compared with rhBMP-2-loaded CPC, the rhBMP-2-loaded CPC-polydopamine-CS scaffolds induced higher expression of bone morphogenetic protein receptors (BMPRs), greater cellular surface translocation of bone morphogenetic protein receptor-IA, higher binding affinity of BMPRs/rhBMP-2, and thus higher activation of the drosophila gene mothers against decapentaplegic protein-1/5/8 (Smad1/5/8) and extracellular-regulated protein kinases-1/2 (ERK1/2) signaling. This work can provide new guidelines for the design of BMP-2-based bioactive materials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Tendon-bone interface tissue is extremely challenging to engineer because it exhibits complex gradients of structure, composition, biologics, and cellular phenotypes. As a step toward engineering these transitional zones, we initially analyzed how different (topographical or biological) cues affect tenogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). We immobilized platelet-derived growth factor - BB (PDGF-BB) using polydopamine (PD) chemistry on random and aligned nanofibers and investigated ADSC proliferation and tenogenic differentiation. Immobilized PDGF greatly enhanced the proliferation and tenogenic differentiation of ADSCs; however, nanofiber alignment had no effect. Interestingly, the PDGF immobilized aligned nanofiber group showed a synergistic effect with maximum expression of tenogenic markers for 14 days. We also generated a nanofiber surface with spatially controlled presentation of immobilized PDGF on an aligned architecture, mimicking native tendon tissue. A gradient of immobilized PDGF was able to control the phenotypic differentiation of ADSCs into tenocytes in a spatially controlled manner, as confirmed by analysis of the expression of tenogenic markers and immunofluorescence staining. We further explored the gradient formation strategy by generation of a symmetrical gradient on the nanofiber surface for the generation of a structure mimicking bone-patellar-tendon-bone with provision for gradient immobilization of PDGF and controlled mineralization. Our study reveals that, together with biochemical cues, favorable topographical cues are important for tenogenic differentiation of ADSCs, and gradient presentation of PDGF can be used as a tool for engineering stem cell-based bone-tendon interface tissues.

Abstract
Preserving and improving osteogenic activity of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) upon implants remains one of the key limitations in bone regeneration. With calcium phosphate cement (CPC) as model, we have developed a series of strontium (Sr)-doped CPC (SCPC) to address this issue. The effects of fixed Sr on the bioactivity of recombinant human BMP-2 (rhBMP-2) as well as the underlying mechanism were investigated. The results suggested that the rhBMP-2-induced osteogenic activity was significantly promoted upon SCPCs, especially with a low amount of fixed Sr (SrCO3 content <10wt%). Further studies demonstrated that the Sr-induced enhancement of bioactivity of rhBMP-2 was related to an elevated recognition of bone morphogenetic protein receptor-IA (BMPR-IA) to rhBMP-2 and an increased expression of BMPR-IA in C2C12 model cells. As a result, the activations of BMP-induced signaling pathways were different in C2C12 cells incubated upon CPC/rhBMP-2 and SCPCs/rhBMP-2. These findings explicitly decipher the mechanism of SCPCs promoting osteogenic bioactivity of rhBMP-2 and signify the promising application of the SCPCs/rhBMP-2 matrix in bone regeneration implants.

Abstract
We present the synthesis and applications of multifunctional hollow porous carbon spheres with well-ordered pore architecture and ability to encapsulate functional nanoparticles. In the present work, the applications of hollow mesoporous carbon capsules (HMCCs) are illustrated in two different contexts. In the first approach, the hollow capsule core is used to encapsulate silver nanoparticles to impart antimicrobial characteristics. It is shown that silver-loaded HMCCs (concentration ∼100 μg/mL) inhibit the growth and multiplication of bacterial colonies of Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) up to 96% and 83%, respectively. In the second part, the fabrication of hierarchical micro- and nanostructured superhydrophobic coatings of HMCCs (without encapsulation with silver nanoparticles) is evaluated for anti-bioadhesion properties. Studies of protein adsorption and microorganism and platelet adhesion have shown a significant reduction (up to 100%) for the HMCC-based superhydrophobic surfaces compared with the control surfaces. Therefore, this unique architecture of HMCCs and their coatings with the ability to encapsulate functional materials make them a promising candidate for a variety of applications.

Abstract
Ionic substitution can affect essential physicochemical properties leading to a specific biological behavior upon implantation. Therefore, it has been proposed as a tool to increase the biological efficiency of calcium phosphate based materials. In the following study, we have evaluated the contribution of an important cation in nature, Mg2+, into the structure of previously studied biocompatible and biodegradable hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods and its subsequent effect on its chemical, morphology, and bone mimetic articulation. Mg2+-substituted HA samples were synthesized by an aqueous wet-chemical precipitation method, followed by an hydrothermal treatment involving a Mg2+ precursor that partially replace Ca2+ ions into HA crystal lattice; Mg2+ concentrations were modulated to obtain a nominal composition similar to that exists in calcified tissues. Hydrothermally synthesized Mg2+-substituted HA nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FT-NIR and EDX spectroscopies, field emission scanning and high resolution transmission electron microscopies (FE-SEM, H-TEM). Molecular modeling combining ab initio methods and power diffraction data were also performed. Results showed that Mg2+-substitution promoted the formation of calcium deficient HA (cdHA) where Mg2+ replacement is energetically favored at Ca(1) position in a limited and specific amount directing the additional Mg2+ toward the surface of the crystal. The control of Mg2+ incorporation into HA nanorods gave rise to a tailored crystallinity degree, cell parameters, morphology, surface hydration, solubility, and degradation properties in a dose-replacement dependent manner. The obtained materials show qualities that conjugated together to drive an optimal in vitro cellular viability, spreading, and proliferation confirming their biocompatibility. In addition, an improved adhesion of osteoblast was evidenced after Mg2+-Ca2+ substitution.

Abstract
Bone diseases/injuries have been driving an urgent quest for bone substitutes for bone regeneration. Nanoscaled materials with bone-mimicking characteristics may create suitable microenvironments to guide effective bone regeneration. In this review, the natural hierarchical architecture of bone and its regeneration mechanisms are elucidated. Recent progress in the development of nanomaterials which can promote bone regeneration through bone-healing mimicry (e.g., compositional, nanocrystal formation, structural, and growth factor-related mimicking) is summarized. The nanoeffects of nanomaterials on the regulation of bone-related biological functions are highlighted. How to prepare nanomaterials with combinative bone-biomimicry features according to the bone healing process is prospected in order to achieve rapid bone regeneration in situ.

Abstract
Magnesium phosphate (MP) was fabricated using a chemical precipitation method, and the biological performances of MP sintered at different temperatures as a biomedical material was investigated. The results indicated that the densification and crystallinity of MP increased as the sintering temperature increased. As the sintering temperature increased, the degradability of MP in PBS decreased, and the mineralization ability in SBF significantly increased. In addition, the MP sintered at 800 °C (MP8) possessed the lowest degradability and highest mineralization ability. Moreover, the positive response of MG63 cells to MP significantly increased as the sintering temperature increased, and MP8 significantly promoted the cell spreading, proliferation, differentiation and expressions of osteogenic differentiation-related genes. Faster degradation of MP0 resulted in higher pH environments and ion concentrations, which led to negative responses to osteoblasts. However, the appropriate degradation of MP8 resulted in suitable pH environments and ion concentrations, which led to positive responses to osteoblasts. This study demonstrated that the sintering temperature substantially affected the surface morphology/microstructure, degradability and mineralization, and osteoblasts response to magnesium phosphate.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is caused by decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and new treatments for this disease are desperately needed. Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) is crucial for bone formation. The mimetic peptide CK2.3 acts downstream of BMP2 and increases BMD when injected systemically into the tail vein of mice. However, the most effective dosage needed to induce BMD in humans is unknown. We developed a mathematical model for CK2.3‐dependent bone mineralization. We used a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model to derive the CK2.3 concentration needed to increase BMD. Based on our results, the ideal dose of CK2.3 for a healthy individual to achieve the maximum increase of mineralization was about 409 µM injected in 500 µL volume, while dosage for osteoporosis patients was about 990 µM. This model showed that CK2.3 could increase the average area of bone mineralization in patients and in healthy adults.
