Abstract
Nanofiber scaffolds have gained significant attention in the field of bone tissue engineering. Electrospinning, a straightforward and efficient technique for producing nanofibers, has been extensively researched. When used in bone tissue engineering scaffolds, electrospun nanofibers with suitable surface properties promote new bone tissue growth and enhance cell adhesion. Recent advancements in electrospinning technology have provided innovative approaches for scaffold fabrication in bone tissue engineering. This review comprehensively examines the utilization of electrospun nanofibers in bone tissue engineering scaffolds and evaluates the relevant literature. The review begins by presenting the fundamental principles and methodologies of electrospinning. It then discusses various materials used in the production of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, including natural and synthetic polymers, as well as certain inorganic materials. The challenges associated with these materials are also described. The review focuses on novel electrospinning techniques for scaffold construction in bone tissue engineering, such as multilayer nanofibers, multifluid electrospinning, and the integration of electrospinning with other methods. Recent advancements in electrospinning technology have enabled the fabrication of precisely aligned nanofiber scaffolds with nanoscale architectures. These innovative methods also facilitate the fabrication of biomimetic structures, wherein bioactive substances can be incorporated and released in a controlled manner for drug delivery purposes. Moreover, they address issues encountered with traditional electrospun nanofibers, such as mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. Consequently, the development and implementation of novel electrospinning technologies have revolutionized scaffold fabrication for bone tissue engineering.

Mechanically enhanced and osteobioactive synthetic periosteum via development of poly(ε-caprolactone)/microtantalum composite. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2023; 231:113537. [PMID: 37776773 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113537] [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: 07/01/2023] [Revised: 09/02/2023] [Accepted: 09/07/2023] [Indexed: 10/02/2023]
Abstract
Periosteum, the thin layer covering adjacent to bone containing specific architecture, is important for functional bone regeneration and remodeling. Synthetic periosteum investigated presently lacks the resemblance of natural periosteum, suffering from poor mechanical strength and cell attachment. Here, we report a newly-developed biomimetic film to function as synthetic periosteum. Based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), where surface wettability of the synthetic periosteum is enhanced by microtantalum (mTa) particle blending and after a cold drawing process, further obtains topographical anisotropy without any involvement of solvent. This new blend shows mechanical enhancement over pure PCL, with yield stress and elastic strain approaching the natural periosteum. A distinct degradation mechanism is proposed for the blend, and by seeding with mouse calvarial preosteoblasts, cell proliferation is promoted on surface of the drawn PCL but delayed on the mTa-blended PCL. However, cell mineralization is accelerated on the mTa-blended surface. This is less on the drawn PCL. The synergistical integration of cellular proliferation, alignment and osteogenic enhancement suggest that the cold drawn PCL/Ta blend has unique potential for developing into a synthetic periosteum and other tissue-engineering products.

Abstract
Thin membranous tissues (TMTs) are anatomical structures consisting of multiple stratified cell layers, each less than 100 μm in thickness. While these tissues are small in scale, they play critical roles in normal tissue function and healing. Examples of TMTs include the tympanic membrane, cornea, periosteum, and epidermis. Damage to these structures can be caused by trauma or congenital disabilities, resulting in hearing loss, blindness, dysfunctional bone development, and impaired wound repair, respectively. While autologous and allogeneic tissue sources for these membranes exist, they are significantly limited by availability and patient complications. Tissue engineering has therefore become a popular strategy for TMT replacement. However, due to their complex microscale architecture, TMTs are often difficult to replicate in a biomimetic manner. The critical challenge in TMT fabrication is balancing fine resolution with the ability to mimic complex target tissue anatomy. This Review reports existing TMT fabrication strategies, their resolution and material capabilities, cell and tissue response, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

Abstract
Electrospun multilayer nanofibers guided bone regeneration (GBR) with a new design were developed in this study. The synthesized multilayer GBR was composed of two distinct layers. Poly l-lactic acid (PLA) incorporated with simvastatin (SIM) was designed as PLA/SIM layer to contact with a bone defect. In addition, the hydrophilic gelatin (GT) containing thymol (THY) was fabricated as GT/THY layer to contact connective tissue, potentially for bacterial gathering. Due to the different chemical nature and weak cohesion of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers, hybrid fibers made of PLA/SIM and GT/THY were electrospun as cohesion promoters between these layers. The microstructure and characteristics of the synthesized multilayer substrate, named GT/PLA, were evaluated, and different fibrous monolayers were fabricated to determine the optimal concentrations of drugs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed continuous, smooth, randomly aligned, and bead-free fibers. In addition, there were no drug particles on the fiber surfaces which displayed the good placement of those inside the fibers. The mats exhibited satisfactory tensile strength (4.60 ± 0.14 MPa) and favorable physicochemical properties, including proper porosity percentage (<50 %) and appropriate pore size. Suitable swelling behavior (293 ± 0.05 %) and adequate degradation rates were also approved by characterizing swelling and degradability in vitro. The GT/PLA membrane exhibited a prolonged and sustained SIM release and controlled THY release with high antibacterial efficiency. Cell viability, cell attachment assay, and nuclear staining using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) showed that the designed GT/PLA substrate had good biocompatibility and cell attachment. Cell infiltration testing also showed that the cells were finely prevented by the outer layer (GT/THY). Overall, the obtained results in this study indicated the great potential of the prepared GT/PLA for use as a GBR which can develop osteogenic and antibacterial biomimetic periosteum optimizing the clinical application of GBR strategies.

Abstract
The role of periosteum rich in a variety of bone cells and growth factors in the treatment of bone defects has gradually been discovered. However, due to the limited number of healthy transplantable periosteum, there are still major challenges in the clinical treatment of critical-size bone defects. Various techniques for preparing biomimetic periosteal scaffolds that are similar in composition and structure to natural periosteal scaffold have gradually emerged. This article reviews the current preparation methods of biomimetic periosteal scaffolds based on various biomaterials, which are mainly divided into natural periosteal materials and various polymer biomaterials. Several preparation methods of biomimetic periosteal scaffolds with different principles are listed, their strengths and weaknesses are also discussed. It aims to provide a more systematic perspective for the preparation of biomimetic periosteal scaffolds in the future.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is nowadays a powerful tool to restore damaged tissues and recover their normal functionality. Advantages over other current methods are well established, although a continuous evolution is still necessary to improve the final performance and the range of applications. Trends are nowadays focused on the development of multifunctional scaffolds with hierarchical structures and the capability to render a sustained delivery of bioactive molecules under an appropriate stimulus. Nanocomposites incorporating hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) have a predominant role in bone tissue regeneration due to their high capacity to enhance osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osteointegration, as well as their encapsulation efficiency and protection capability of bioactive agents. Selection of appropriated polymeric matrices is fundamental and consequently great efforts have been invested to increase the range of properties of available materials through copolymerization, blending, or combining structures constituted by different materials. Scaffolds can be obtained from different processes that differ in characteristics, such as texture or porosity. Probably, electrospinning has the greater relevance, since the obtained nanofiber membranes have a great similarity with the extracellular matrix and, in addition, they can easily incorporate functional and bioactive compounds. Coaxial and emulsion electrospinning processes appear ideal to generate complex systems able to incorporate highly different agents. The present review is mainly focused on the recent works performed with Hap-loaded scaffolds having at least one structural layer composed of core/shell nanofibers.

Abstract
The periosteum is quite essential for bone repair. The excellent osteogenic properties of periosteal tissue make it a popular choice for accelerated osteogenesis in tissue engineering. With advances in research and technology, renewed attention has been paid to the periosteum. Recent studies have shown that the complexity of the periosteum is not only limited to histological features but also includes genetic and phenotypic features. In addition, the periosteum is proved to be quite site-specific in many ways. This brings challenges to the selection of periosteal donor sites. Limited understanding of the periosteum sets up barriers to developing optimal tissue regeneration strategies. A better understanding of periosteum could lead to better applications. Therefore, we reviewed the histological structure, gene expression, and function of the periosteum from both the commonality and personalization. It aims to discuss some obscure issues and untapped potential of periosteum and artificial periosteum in the application, where further theoretical research is needed. Overall, the site-specificity of the periosteum needs to be fully considered in future applications. However, significant further work is needed in relevant clinical trials to promote the further development of artificial periosteum.

Abstract
Background Periosteum plays a significant role in bone formation and regeneration by storing progenitor cells, and also acts as a source of local growth factors and a scaffold for recruiting cells and other growth factors. Recently, tissue-engineered periosteum has been studied extensively and shown to be important for osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. Using biomimetic methods for artificial periosteum synthesis, membranous tissues with similar function and structure to native periosteum are produced that significantly improve the efficacy of bone grafting and scaffold engineering, and can serve as direct replacements for native periosteum. Many problems involving bone defects can be solved by preparation of idealized periosteum from materials with different properties using various techniques. Methods This review summarizes the significance of periosteum for osteogenesis and chondrogenesis from the aspects of periosteum tissue structure, osteogenesis performance, clinical application, and development of periosteum tissue engineering. The advantages and disadvantages of different tissue engineering methods are also summarized. Results The fast-developing field of periosteum tissue engineering is aimed toward synthesis of bionic periosteum that can ensure or accelerate the repair of bone defects. Artificial periosteum materials can be similar to natural periosteum in both structure and function, and have good therapeutic potential. Induction of periosteum tissue regeneration and bone regeneration by biomimetic periosteum is the ideal process for bone repair. Conclusions Periosteum is essential for bone formation and regeneration, and it is indispensable in bone repair. Achieving personalized structure and composition in the construction of tissue engineering periosteum is in accordance with the design concept of both universality and emphasis on individual differences and ensures the combination of commonness and individuality, which are expected to meet the clinical needs of bone repair more effectively. The translational potential of this article To better understand the role of periosteum in bone repair, clarify the present research situation of periosteum and tissue engineering periosteum, and determine the development and optimization direction of tissue engineering periosteum in the future. It is hoped that periosteum tissue engineering will play a greater role in meeting the clinical needs of bone repair in the future, and makes it possible to achieve optimization of bone tissue therapy.

Abstract
Guided tissue/bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) is commonly applied in dentistry to aid in the regeneration of bone/tissue at a defective location, where the assistive material eventually degrades to be substituted with newly produced tissue. Membranes separate the rapidly propagating soft tissue from the slow-growing bone tissue for optimal tissue regeneration results. A broad membrane exposure area, biocompatibility, hardness, ductility, cell occlusion, membrane void ratio, tissue integration, and clinical manageability are essential functional properties of a GTR/GBR membrane, although no single modern membrane conforms to all of the necessary characteristics. This review considers ongoing bone/tissue regeneration engineering research and the GTR/GBR materials described in this review fulfill all of the basic ISO requirements for human use, as determined through risk analysis and rigorous testing. Novel modified materials are in the early stages of development and could be classified as synthetic polymer membranes, biological extraction synthetic polymer membranes, or metal membranes. Cell attachment, proliferation, and subsequent tissue development are influenced by the physical features of GTR/GBR membrane materials, including pore size, porosity, and mechanical strength. According to the latest advances, key attributes of nanofillers introduced into a polymer matrix include suitable surface area, better mechanical capacity, and stability, which enhances cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, it is essential to construct a bionic membrane that satisfies the requirements for the mechanical barrier, the degradation rate, osteogenesis, and clinical operability.

Abstract
An alveolar cleft is a critical tissue defect often treated with surgery. In this research, the mimicked periosteum layer based on deposited silk fibroin membrane was fabricated for guided bone regeneration in alveolar cleft surgery. The deposited silk fibroin particle membranes were fabricated by spray-drying with different concentrations of silk fibroin (v/v): 0.5% silk fibroin (0.5% SFM), 1% silk fibroin (1% SFM), 2% silk fibroin (2% SFM), and 1% silk fibroin film (1% SFF) as the control. The membranes were then characterized and the molecular organization, structure, and morphology were observed with FT-IR, DSC, and SEM. Their physical properties, mechanical properties, swelling, and degradation were tested. The membranes were cultured with osteoblast cells and their biological performance, cell viability and proliferation, total protein, ALP activity, and calcium deposition were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the membranes showed molecular transformation of random coils to beta sheets and stable structures. The membranes had a porous layer. Furthermore, they had more stress and strain, swelling, and degradation than the film. They had more unique cell viability and proliferation, total protein, ALP activity, calcium deposition than the film. The results of the study indicated that 1% SFM is promising for guided bone regeneration for alveolar cleft surgery.

Abstract
The periosteum is an indispensable part of the bone that nourishes the cortical bone and acts as a repertoire of osteoprogenitor cells. Periosteal damage as a result of traumatic injuries, infections, or surgical assistance in bone surgeries is often associated with a high incidence of delayed bone healing (union or nonunion) compounded with severe pain and a risk of a secondary fracture. Developing bioengineered functional periosteal substitutes is an indispensable approach to augment bone healing. In this study, we have developed a biomimetic periosteum membrane consisting of electrospun oxygen-releasing antioxidant polyurethane on collagen membrane (polyurethane-ascorbic acid-calcium peroxide containing fibers on collagen (PUAOCC)). Further, to assist bone formation, we have developed a bioactive inorganic-organic composite cryogel (bioglass-collagen-gelatin-nanohydroxyapatite (BCGH)) as a bone substitute. In an in vitro simulated oxidative stress model, PUAOCC supported the primary periosteal cell survival. Moreover, in an in vivo, critical-sized (5.9 mm × 3.2 mm × 1.50 mm) unicortical rat tibial bone defect, implantation of PUAOCC along with the functionalized BCGH led to significant improvement in bone formation along with periosteal regeneration. The periosteal regeneration was confirmed by expression of periosteum-specific periostin and neuronal regulation-related protein markers. Our study demonstrates the development of a periosteum-mimicking membrane with promising applications to facilitate periosteal regeneration, thus assisting bone formation when used in combination with bone composites and mimicking the natural bone repair process.

Abstract
Periosteum, a highly vascularized bilayer connective tissue membrane plays an indispensable role in the repair and regeneration of bone defects. It is involved in blood supply and delivery of progenitor cells and bioactive molecules in the defect area. However, sources of natural periosteum are limited, therefore, there is a need to develop tissue-engineered periosteum (TEP) mimicking the composition, structure, and function of natural periosteum. This review explores TEP construction strategies from the following perspectives: i) different materials for constructing TEP scaffolds; ii) mechanical properties and surface topography in TEP; iii) cell-based strategies for TEP construction; and iv) TEP combined with growth factors. In addition, current challenges and future perspectives for development of TEP are discussed.

Abstract
Many studies have been devoted to investigating the potential of guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes for bone defect reconstruction. Regardless of approaches for treating damaged bone tissues, a beneficial therapeutic strategy has remained a challenge. In this study, a novel GBR membrane with polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) containing different concentrations of metformin (Met) for improving osteogenic properties was developed. The membranes were evaluated for their hydrophilicity, degradation rate, swelling ratio, drug release, mechanical properties, and biological responses. The results showed a significant increase in hydrophilicity, swelling ratio, and degradation rate and no significant changes in mechanical properties of PCL/PVA membranes with Met concentration enhancement. A decrease in cell viability cultured on the surface of the PCL/PVA membrane was seen when the amount of Met was changed from 10 to 15 wt %. The results of the in vitro quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) also confirmed the higher secretion of osteogenic-related genes in a PCL/PVA/Cell/10 wt % Met scaffold than in the PCL/PVA/Cell sample. Therefore, further in vivo studies were conducted using the electrospun PCL/PVA membrane containing human endometrial stem cells (hEnSCs) and 10% Met. Histopathological and histomorphometric results confirmed that PCL/PVA/hEnSCs/10 wt % Met has excellent potential to differentiate hEnSCs into osteogenic lineages and bone regeneration in calvarial defects of rats. The results of this study confirm the high potential of the PCL/PVA/10 wt % Met fibrous membrane preseeded with hEnSCs in GBR applications.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) membrane has been used to improve functional outcomes for periodontal regeneration. However, few studies have focused on the biomimetic membrane mimicking the vascularization of the periodontal membrane. This study aimed to fabricate waterborne polyurethane (WPU) fibrous membranes loaded fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) via emulsion electrospinning, which can promote regeneration of periodontal tissue via the vascularization of the biomimetic GBR membrane. A biodegradable WPU was synthesized by using lysine and dimethylpropionic acid as chain extenders according to the rule of green chemical synthesis technology. The WPU fibers with FGF-2 was fabricated via emulsion electrospinning. The results confirmed that controlled properties of the fibrous membrane had been achieved with controlled degradation, suitable mechanical properties and sustained release of the factor. The immunohistochemical expression of angiogenic-related factors was positive, meaning that FGF-2 loaded in fibers can significantly promote cell vascularization. The fiber scaffold loaded FGF-2 has the potential to be used as a functional GBR membrane to promote the formation of extraosseous blood vessels during periodontal repairing.

Abstract
The current management of critical size bone defects (CSBDs) remains challenging and requires multiple surgeries. To reduce the number of surgeries, wrapping a biodegradable fibrous membrane around the defect to contain the graft and carry biological stimulants for repair is highly desirable. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) can be utilised to realise nonwoven fibrous barrier-like structures through free surface electrospinning (FSE). Human periosteum and induced membrane (IM) samples informed the development of an FSE membrane to support platelet lysate (PL) absorption, multipotential stromal cells (MSC) growth, and the prevention of cell migration. Although thinner than IM, periosteum presented a more mature vascular system with a significantly larger blood vessel diameter. The electrospun membrane (PCL3%-E) exhibited randomly configured nanoscale fibres that were successfully customised to introduce pores of increased diameter, without compromising tensile properties. Additional to the PL absorption and release capabilities needed for MSC attraction and growth, PCL3%-E also provided a favourable surface for the proliferation and alignment of periosteum- and bone marrow derived-MSCs, whilst possessing a barrier function to cell migration. These results demonstrate the development of a promising biodegradable barrier membrane enabling PL release and MSC colonisation, two key functionalities needed for the in situ formation of a transitional periosteum-like structure, enabling movement towards single-surgery CSBD reconstruction.

Abstract
One-dimensional (1D) materials allow for cutting-edge applications in biology, such as single-cell bioelectronics investigations, stimulation of the cellular membrane or the cytosol, cellular capture, tissue regeneration, antibacterial action, traction force investigation, and cellular lysis among others. The extraordinary development of this research field in the last ten years has been promoted by the possibility to engineer new classes of biointerfaces that integrate 1D materials as tools to trigger reconfigurable stimuli/probes at the sub-cellular resolution, mimicking the in vivo protein fibres organization of the extracellular matrix. After a brief overview of the theoretical models relevant for a quantitative description of the 1D material/cell interface, this work offers an unprecedented review of 1D nano- and microscale materials (inorganic, organic, biomolecular) explored so far in this vibrant research field, highlighting their emerging biological applications. The correlation between each 1D material chemistry and the resulting biological response is investigated, allowing to emphasize the advantages and the issues that each class presents. Finally, current challenges and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
Membranes for guided bone regeneration represent valuable resources, preventing fibroblast infiltration and aiding anatomical bone reconstruction. Nonetheless, available membranes lack bone regenerative capacity, suitable mechanical behavior, or adequate degradation profile. Therefore, to overcome these limitations, this study developed bilayer membranes with a dense layer (dry phase inversion) of PLGA (poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)):HAp (hydroxyapatite) - 95:05 (wt%) - and an electrospun layer of PLGA and HAp:β-TCP (β-tricalcium phosphate) with ratios of 60:40, 70:30 and 85:15 (wt%), evaluating its mechanical, morphological and in vitro properties. The bilayer membranes displayed adequate interlayer adhesion, dense layer pore size of 4.20 μm and electrospun layer with porosity degree of 38.2%, thus capable of preventing fibroblast infiltration while allowing osteoblast migration and nutrient permeation. They also showed Tg of 82 °C and higher storage modulus, which was constant up to 54.6 °C, characteristics important for membrane implantation and use with no mechanical compromise. In vitro degradation mass loss was only 10% after 60 days, a profile suitable for the application requirement. Membranes with calcium phosphates had better osteoblast attachment, proliferation and migration. Taken together, results indicate the great potential of PLGA/HAp/β-TCP bilayer membranes on bone reconstruction with proper degradation profile, morphology, mechanical behavior and bone regenerative capacity.

Osseointegrated membranes based on electro-spun TiO 2/hydroxyapatite/polyurethane for oral maxillofacial surgery. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Membranes which have an osseointegration abilty are often selected as biomaterials in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Although these membranes are often the best option for certain uses, it is a challenge to create functionally attractive membranes. In this research, electro-spun titanium oxide (TiO2)/hydroxyapatite (HA)/polyurethane (PU) membranes were fabricated with different ratios of HA and TiO2: 100: 0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70 and 0:100 w/w. The morphologies of the different mixtures were assessed with a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Field Emission Microscope (FESEM). Element analysis was performed with EDX. The physical properties of the water contact angles and mechanical strength were tested and the membranes cultured with osteoblasts to evaluate their biological functions, cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and calcium content. The results showed that the membranes with TiO2 and HA had smaller fibers than those without TiO2 and HA. The TiO2- and HA-including compounds showed the formation of particle aggregation on the surface of the fibers. They also had higher water contact angles, mechanical strength, and stiffness than those without TiO2 and HA, and they had better cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, ALP activity and calcium content. The membrane with a 50:50 TiO2:HA ratio had more unique biological functions than the others. Finally, our research demonstrated that osseointegrated membranes with 50:50 TiO2:HA are promising for oral and maxillofacial surgery.
