Abstract
Structural and functional healing of peripheral nerves damaged by trauma or chronic disease remain major clinical challenges, requiring the development of an effective nerve guidance conduit (NGC). The present study investigates a NGC fabrication strategy based on bredigite (BRT, Ca7MgSi4O16) bioceramic for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Here, BRT bioceramic shows good biocompatibility and sustainable release of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Si4+ ions. Both BRT extracts and BRT-incorporating electrospun membranes promote the proliferation and myelination potential of RSC96 cells, as well as accelerate vascular formation by human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Notably, BRT facilitates RAW 264.7 cell polarization to the pro-healing phenotype under LPS-induced inflammatory stimulation. More importantly, the macrophages activated by BRT in turn promote RSC96 cell migration and remyelination. In a rat sciatic nerve defect model, improved electrophysiological performance and alleviated gastrocnemius muscle atrophy are observed at 12 weeks post-implantation. Further experiments verify that BRT-loaded NGC facilitates axonal regrowth and revascularization with high M2-like macrophage infiltration. These findings support the beneficial effects of BRT for creating a pro-healing immune microenvironment and orchestrating multicellular processes associated with functional nerve regeneration, indicating the potential of rationally engineered bioceramics as safe, effective, and economical materials for peripheral nerve repair.

Abstract
The combination of a commercially available PGLA (poly[glycolide-co-l-lactide]), 90:10% suture material with bioactive bioglass nanopowders (BGNs) and graphene oxide (GO)-doped BGNs offers new opportunities for the clinical application of biomaterials in soft tissue engineering. In the present experimental work, we demonstrate that GO-doped melt-derived BGNs were synthesized via the sol-gel process. After that, novel GO-doped and undoped BGNs were used to coat resorbable PGLA surgical sutures, thereby imparting bioactivity, biocompatibility, and accelerated wound healing properties to the sutures. Stable and homogeneous coatings on the surface of the sutures were achieved using an optimized vacuum sol deposition method. The phase composition, morphology, elemental characteristics, and chemical structure of uncoated and BGNs- and BGNs/GO-coated suture samples were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, associated with elemental analysis, and knot performance test. In addition, in vitro bioactivity tests, biochemical tests, and in vivo tests were performed to examine the role of BGNs and GO on the biological and histopathological properties of the coated suture samples. The results indicated that the formation of BGNs and GO was enhanced significantly on the suture surface, which allowed for enhanced fibroblast attachment, migration, and proliferation and promoted the secretion of the angiogenic growth factor to speed up wound healing. These results confirmed the biocompatibility of BGNs- and BGNs/GO-coated suture samples and the positive effect of BGNs on the behavior of L929 fibroblast cells and also showed for the first time the possibility that cells can adhere and proliferate on the BGNs/GO-coated suture samples, especially in an in vivo environment. Resorbable surgical sutures with bioactive coatings, such as those prepared herein, can be an attractive biomaterial not only for hard tissue engineering but also for clinical applications in soft tissue engineering.

Abstract
A new nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) named MC@Col containing Type I collagen (Col) and mineralized collagen (MC) was developed, enhancing mechanical and degradation behavior. The physicochemical properties, the mechanical properties and in vitro degradation behavior were all evaluated. The adhesion and proliferation of Schwann cells (SCs) were observed. In the in vivo experiment, MC@Col NGC and other conduits including Col, chitosan (CST) and polycaprolactone (PCL) conduit were implanted to repair a 10-mm-long Sprague-Dawley rat's sciatic nerve defect. Histological analyses, morphological analyses, electrophysiological analyses and further gait analyses were all evaluated after implantation in 12 weeks. The strength and degradation performance of the MC@Col NGC were improved by the addition of MC in comparison with pure Col NGC. In vitro cytocompatibility evaluation revealed that the SCs had good viability, attachment and proliferation in the MC@Col. In in vivo results, the regenerative outcomes of MC@Col NGC were close to those by an autologous nerve graft in some respects, but superior to those by Col, CST and PCL conduits. The MC@Col NGC exhibited good mechanical performance as well as biocompatibility to bridge nerve gap and guide nerve regeneration, thus showing great promising potential as a new type of conduit in clinical applications.

Abstract
The nerve conduits have been developed for nerve defect repair. However, no artificial conduits have obtained comparable results to autografts to bridge the large gaps. A possible reason for this poor performance may be a lack of sustainable neurotrophic support for axonal regrowth. Previous studies suggested nanocomposite conduits can be used as a carrier for valproic acid (VPA), a common drug that can produce effects similar to the neurotrophic factors. Here, we developed the novel bioabsorbable conduits based on hydroxyapatite/poly d-l-lactic acid (PDLLA)/poly{(lactic acid)-co-[(glycolic acid)-alt-(l-lysine)]} with sustained release of VPA. Firstly, the sustained release of VPA in this conduit was examined by high-performance liquid chromatography. Then Schwann cells were treated with the conduit extracts. The cell metabolic activity and proliferation were assayed by 3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2-tetrazolium bromide and bromodeoxyuridine staining. A 10-mm segment of rat sciatic nerve was resected and then repaired, respectively, using the VPA conduit (Group A), the PDLLA conduit (Group B), or the autografts (Group C). Nerve conduction velocities (NCVs), compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs), and histological staining were assayed following the surgery. The cell metabolic activity and proliferation were significantly increased (p < .05) by the extracts from VPA-conduit extract compared to others. NCVs and CMAPs were significantly higher in Groups A and C than Group B (p < .05). The nerve density of Groups A and C was higher than Group B. There was no significant difference between Groups A and C. Taken together, this study suggested the sustained-release VPA conduit promoted peripheral nerve regeneration that was comparable to the autografts. It holds potential for future use in nerve regeneration.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite has been used in medicine for many years as a biomaterial or a cover for other biomaterials in orthopedics and dentistry. This study characterized the physicochemical properties (structure, particle size and morphology, surface properties) of Li+- and Li+/Eu3+-doped nanohydroxyapatite obtained using the wet chemistry method. The potential regenerative properties against neurite damage in cultures of neuron-like cells (SH-SY5Y and PC12 after differentiation) were also studied. The effect of nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) on the induction of repair processes in cell cultures was assessed in tests of metabolic activity, the level of free oxygen radicals and nitric oxide, and the average length of neurites. The study showed that nanohydroxyapatite influences the increase in mitochondrial activity, which is correlated with the increase in the length of neurites. It has been shown that the doping of nanohydroxyapatite with Eu3+ ions enhances the antioxidant properties of the tested nanohydroxyapatite. These basic studies indicate its potential application in the treatment of neurite damage. These studies should be continued in primary neuronal cultures and then with in vivo models.

Abstract
Ceramics and ceramic-reinforced metal matrix composites (CMMCs) demonstrate high wear resistance, excellent chemical inertness, and exceptional properties at elevated temperatures. These characteristics are suitable for their utilization in biomedical, aerospace, electronics, and other high-end engineering industries. The aforementioned performances make them difficult to fabricate via conventional manufacturing methods, requiring high costs and energy consumption. To overcome these issues, laser additive manufacturing (LAM) techniques, with high-power laser beams, were developed and extensively employed for processing ceramics and ceramic-reinforced CMMCs-based coatings. In respect to other LAM processes, laser melting deposition (LMD) excels in several aspects, such as high coating efficiency and lower labor cost. Nevertheless, difficulties such as poor bonding between coating and substrate, cracking, and reduced toughness are still encountered in some LMD coatings. In this article, we review recent developments in the LMD of ceramics and CMMCs-based coatings. Issues and solutions, along with development trends, are discussed and summarized in support of implementing this technology for current industrial use.

Abstract
Tissue engineering provides great possibilities to manage tissue damages and injuries in modern medicine. The involvement of hard biocompatible materials in tissue engineering-based therapies for the healing of soft tissue defects has impressively increased over the last few years: in this regard, different types of bioceramics were developed, examined and applied either alone or in combination with polymers to produce composites. Bioactive glasses, carbon nanostructures, and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are among the most widely-proposed hard materials for treating a broad range of soft tissue damages, from acute and chronic skin wounds to complex injuries of nervous and cardiopulmonary systems. Although being originally developed for use in contact with bone, these substances were also shown to offer excellent key features for repair and regeneration of wounds and "delicate" structures of the body, including improved cell proliferation and differentiation, enhanced angiogenesis, and antibacterial/anti-inflammatory activities. Furthermore, when embedded in a soft matrix, these hard materials can improve the mechanical properties of the implant. They could be applied in various forms and formulations such as fine powders, granules, and micro- or nanofibers. There are some pre-clinical trials in which bioceramics are being utilized for skin wounds; however, some crucial questions should still be addressed before the extensive and safe use of bioceramics in soft tissue healing. For example, defining optimal formulations, dosages, and administration routes remain to be fixed and summarized as standard guidelines in the clinic. This review paper aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the use and potential of bioceramics in treatment, reconstruction, and preservation of soft tissues (skin, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, skeletal muscles, and ophthalmic tissues) and critically discusses their pros and cons (e.g., the risk of calcification and ectopic bone formation as well as the local and systemic toxicity) in this regard. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Soft tissues form a big part of the human body and play vital roles in maintaining both structure and function of various organs; however, optimal repair and regeneration of injured soft tissues (e.g., skin, peripheral nerve) still remain a grand challenge in biomedicine. Although polymers were extensively applied to restore the lost or injured soft tissues, the use of bioceramics has the potential to provides new opportunities which are still partially unexplored or at the very beginning. This reviews summarizes the state of the art of bioceramics in this field, highlighting the latest evolutions and the new horizons that can be opened by their use in the context of soft tissue engineering. Existing results and future challenges are discussed in order to provide an up-to-date contribution that is useful to both experienced scientists and early-stage researchers of the biomaterials community.

Abstract
Promotion of neurite outgrowth and synapse formation is a key step for nervous tissue regeneration. It is important for finding a new biomaterial to guide neuron growth to target neurons. Aminated graphene oxide (NH2-GO) displays electrical properties and dispersibility, which may change the surface charge of neurons and further activate neuronal excitement. However, the molecular guidance mechanism of NH2-GO on neurite outgrowth is seldom reported. In this study, we compared the role of NH2-GO on the spinal cord neurons and cortical neurons. Results indicated that the proper concentrations were at 2 and 4 μg/mL as determined by the CCK-8 assay. Notably, NH2-GO (2 and 4 μg/mL) improved the dispersibility and strengthened the effect of the composite material. In addition, it enables biocompatibility and efficient guidance of growth performance, which is not neurotoxic for neuronal outgrowth under these two concentrations. More interestingly, NH2-GO at 2 μg/mL induced both marked neurite elongation and increased branches in cortical neurons, but there is no significant change of neurite length and branches in spinal cord neurons. Further, the fluorescence intensity and mRNA level of Netrin-1 and DCC (Deleted in Colorectal Cancer) were both enhanced by NH2-GO at 2 μg/mL. Moreover, the function of Netrin-1 and DCC were activated more significantly by NH2-GO at 2 μg/mL in cortical neurons than that of spinal cord neurons. When RhoA was inhibited by the C3 exoenzyme, phosphorylated Rac1 and Cdc42 expression decreased significantly. Thus, NH2-GO at 2 μg/mL could influence Netrin-1/DCC signaling and the downstream RhoGTPase pathway, which may be preferred to guide the neurite growth in cortical neurons. It will provide a promising approach for the development of novel therapeutic methods of nerve regeneration.

Abstract
The current study aimed to enhance the efficacy of peripheral nerve regeneration using a hydroxyapatite nanoparticle-containing collagen type I hydrogel. A solution of type I collagen, extracted from the rat tails, was incorporated with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (with the average diameter of ~212 nm) and crosslinked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) to prepare the hydrogel. The Schwann cell cultivation on the prepared hydrogel demonstrated a significantly higher cell proliferation than the tissue culture plate, as positive control, after 48 h (n = 3, P < 0.005) and 72 h (n = 3, P < 0.01). For in vivo evaluation, the prepared hydrogel was administrated on the sciatic nerve crush injury in Wistar rats. Four groups were studied: negative control (with injury but without interventions), positive control (without injury), collagen hydrogel and hydroxyapatite nanoparticle-containing collagen hydrogel. After 12 weeks, the administration of hydroxyapatite nanoparticle-containing collagen significantly (n = 4, P < 0.005) enhanced the functional behavior of the rats compared with the collagen hydrogel and negative control groups as evidenced by the sciatic functional index, hot plate latency and compound muscle action potential amplitude measurements. The overall results demonstrated the applicability of the produced hydrogel for the regeneration of peripheral nerve injuries.
