Abstract
The complex anatomy and biology of craniofacial bones pose difficulties in their effective and precise reconstruction. Injectable hydrogels (IHs) with water-swollen networks are emerging as a shape-adaptive alternative for noninvasively rebuilding craniofacial bones. The advent of versatile nanomaterials (NMs) customizes IHs with strengthened mechanical properties and therapeutically favorable performance, presenting excellent contenders over traditional substitutes. Structurally, NM-reinforced IHs are energy dissipative and covalently crosslinked, providing the mechanics necessary to support craniofacial structures and physiological functions. Biofunctionally, incorporating unique NMs into IH expands a plethora of biological activities, including immunomodulatory, osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial effects, further favoring controllable dynamic tissue regeneration. Mechanistically, NM-engineered IHs optimize the physical traits to direct cell responses, regulate intracellular signaling pathways, and control the release of biomolecules, collectively bestowing structure-induced features and multifunctionality. By encompassing state-of-the-art advances in NM-integrated IHs, this review offers a foundation for future clinical translation of craniofacial bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a common therapy for maxillary transverse deficiency. However, relapses after RME usually occur because of insufficient bone formation. MicroRNA-21 (miR-21) was reported as an important post-transcriptional modulator for osteogenesis. Herein, a photocontrolled miR-21 (PC-miR-21)-loaded nanosystem using upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) modified with poly(ether imide) (PEI), i.e., UCNPs@PEI@PC-miR-21, was constructed to promote bone formation in the midpalatal suture. UCNPs@PEI was constructed as the light transducer and delivery carrier. The UCNPs@PEI@PC-miR-21 nanocomplexes have good aqueous dispersibility and biocompatibility. The in vitro cell experiment suggested that UCNPs@PEI could protect PC-miR-21 from biodegradation and release PC-miR-21 into the cytoplasm under near-infrared light (NIR) irradiation. Furthermore, UCNPs@PEI@PC-miR-21 upregulated the expression of the osteogenic key markers, ALP, RUNX2, and COL1A1, at the levels of both genes and proteins. Besides, the results of the in vivo RME mice models further corroborated that photocontrollable UCNPs@PEI@PC-miR-21 accelerated bone formation with upregulating osteogenic markers of ALP, RUNX2, and osteoprotegerin and inducing fewer osteoclasts formation. In conclusion, UCNPs@PEI@PC-miR-21 nanoparticles with a NIR light could facilitate the remote and precise delivery of exogenous miR-21 to the midpalatal suture to promote bone formation during RME. This work represents a cutting-edge approach of gene therapy to promote osteogenesis in the midpalatal suture during RME and provides a frontier scientific basis for later clinical treatment.

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.

Reducing relapse and accelerating osteogenesis in rapid maxillary expansion using an injectable mesoporous bioactive glass/fibrin glue composite hydrogel. Bioact Mater 2022; 18:507-525. [PMID: 35415307 PMCID: PMC8976096 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.03.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2021] [Revised: 02/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Rapid maxillary expansion (RME), as a common treatment for craniomaxillofacial deformity, faces the challenge of high relapse rates and unsatisfactory therapeutic effects. In this study, a standardized Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat RME model was first established with a modified expander as well as retainer design and optimized anterior maxillary expanding force of 100 g which exerted the most synchronized mobility of mid-palatal suture and incisors. Via the standardized model, the high relapse rate was proven to be attributed to insufficient osteogenesis in expanded suture, requiring long-term retainer wearing in clinical situations. To reduce the relapse rate, mesoporous bioactive glass/fibrin glue (MBG/FG) composite hydrogels were developed for an in situ minimal invasive injection that enhance osteogenesis in the expanded palate. The component of 1 wt% MBG was adopted for enhanced mechanical strength, matched degradation rate and ion dissolution, excellent in vitro biocompatibility and osteoinductivity. Effects of 1%MBG/FG composite hydrogel on osteogenesis in expanded mid-palatal sutures with/without retention were evaluated in the standardized model. The results demonstrated that injection of 1%MBG/FG composite hydrogel significantly promoted bone formation within the expanded mid-palatal suture, inhibited osteoclastogenesis and benefited the balance of bone remodeling towards osteogenesis. Combination of retainer and injectable biomaterial was demonstrated as a promising treatment to reduce relapse rate and enhance osteogenesis after RME. The model establishment and the composite hydrogel development in this article might provide new insight to other craniomaxillofacial deformity treatment and design of bone-repairing biomaterials with higher regenerative efficiency. A standardized rat RME model was established with optimized parameters. Sufficient osteogenesis was the prerequisite of reducing relapse ratio. Design of an injectable MBG/FG composite hydrogel for osteogenic enhancement. Combinatory treatment of injection and retention was developed for relapse reduction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Maxillary constriction is a relatively common condition. Various treatment modalities have been proposed for this condition such as rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Although RME can significantly expand the suture in a relatively short period of time, it has a number of drawbacks, mainly a lengthy retention period. The primary objective of this study was to assess the efficacy of the supplementary methods used in conjunction with RME for new bone formation (NBF) at the midpalatal suture (MPS). Relapse, bone healing, and root resorption were also studied as the secondary outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library online databases were searched according to the PRISMA-ScR guideline. Animal studies on the effects of non-surgical supplementary methods other than laser therapy on NBF in RME were included and reviewed. RESULT Thirty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria. The supplementary methods were categorized into 6 groups: hormones, chemical agents, drugs, vitamins, proteins, and some other substances, which could not be assigned to any group. All the aforementioned substances enhanced NBF. Drugs such as bisphosphonates also increased bone resorption. The oestrogen hormone was shown to reduce treatment relapse. Lastly, stem cell application accelerated bone healing at the expanded MPS. CONCLUSION Administration of hormones, chemical agents, drugs, vitamins, herbs, and proteins may improve the outcomes of RME, shorten the retention period and consequently, reduce relapse in animals. However, the generalizability of these findings is limited due to the insubstantial number of studies published on each substance.

Abstract
This review explores the evolution of the use of hydrogels for craniofacial soft tissue engineering, ranging in complexity from acellular injectable fillers to fabricated, cell-laden constructs with complex compositions and architectures. Addressing both in situ and ex vivo approaches, tissue restoration secondary to trauma or tumor resection is discussed. Beginning with relatively simple epithelia of oral mucosa and gingiva, then moving to more functional units like vocal cords or soft tissues with multilayer branched structures, such as salivary glands, various approaches are presented toward the design of function-driven architectures, inspired by native tissue organization. Multiple tissue replacement paradigms are presented here, including the application of hydrogels as structural materials and as delivery platforms for cells and/or therapeutics. A practical hierarchy is proposed for hydrogel systems in craniofacial applications, based on their material and cellular complexity, spatial order, and biological cargo(s). This hierarchy reflects the regulatory complexity dictated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States prior to commercialization of these systems for use in humans. The wide array of available biofabrication methods, ranging from simple syringe extrusion of a biomaterial to light-based spatial patterning for complex architectures, is considered within the history of FDA-approved commercial therapies. Lastly, the review assesses the impact of these regulatory pathways on the translational potential of promising pre-clinical technologies for craniofacial applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: While many commercially available hydrogel-based products are in use for the craniofacial region, most are simple formulations that either are applied topically or injected into tissue for aesthetic purposes. The academic literature previews many exciting applications that harness the versatility of hydrogels for craniofacial soft tissue engineering. One of the most exciting developments in the field is the emergence of advanced biofabrication methods to design complex hydrogel systems that can promote the functional or structural repair of tissues. To date, no clinically available hydrogel-based therapy takes full advantage of current pre-clinical advances. This review surveys the increasing complexity of the current landscape of available clinical therapies and presents a framework for future expanded use of hydrogels with an eye toward translatability and U.S. regulatory approval for craniofacial applications.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a highly prevalent public health burden associated with an increased risk of bone fracture, particularly in aging women. Estrogen, an important medicinal component for the preventative and therapeutic treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis, induces osteogenesis by activating the estrogen receptor signaling pathway and upregulating the expression of osteogenic genes, such as bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). The epigenetic regulation of estrogen-mediated osteogenesis, however, is still unclear. In this report, we found that estrogen significantly induced the expression of lysine-specific demethylase 6B (KDM6B) and that KDM6B depletion by shRNAs led to a significant reduction in the osteogenic potential of DMSCs. Mechanistically, upon estrogen stimulation, estrogen receptor-α (ERα) was recruited to the KDM6B promoter, directly enhancing KDM6B expression. Subsequently, KDM6B was recruited to the BMP2 and HOXC6 promoters, resulting in the removal of H3K27me3 marks and activating the transcription of BMP2 and HOXC6, the master genes of osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, we found that estrogen enhanced DMSC osteogenesis during calvarial bone regeneration and that estrogen's pro-osteogenic effect was dependent on KDM6B in vivo. Taken together, our results demonstrate the vital role of the ERα/KDM6B regulatory axis in the epigenetic regulation of the estrogen-dependent osteogenic response.

Abstract
Prolonged, intense inflammation and excessive oxidative stress hinder diabetic wounds from healing normally, leading to disorders downstream including the postponement of re-epithelialization and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation. Herein, we report a hyaluronic acid (HA) and chitosan based hydrogel (OHA-CMC) with inherent antibacterial and hemostatic activities fabricated via Schiff base reaction. By encapsulating nanotechnologically-modified curcumin (CNP) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) into the hydrogel, OHA-CMC/CNP/EGF exhibited extraordinary antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and migration-promoting effects in vitro. Meanwhile, OHA-CMC/CNP/EGF presented on-demand drug release in synchrony with the phases of the wound healing process. Specifically, curcumin was rapidly and constantly released to alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress in the early phase of wound healing, while a more gradual and sustained release of EGF supported late proliferation and ECM remodeling. In a diabetic full-thickness skin defect model, OHA-CMC/CNP/EGF dramatically improved wound healing with ideal re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation, and skin appendage regeneration, highlighting the enormous therapeutic potential this biomaterial holds as a diabetic wound dressing. OHA-CMC hydrogel showed excellent inherent antibacterial and hemostatic activities. OHA-CMC co-delivered curcumin and EGF with on-demand drug release that met the repair requirements of each healing stage. OHA-CMC/CNP/EGF showed potent antioxidant and anti-inflammation activities, and was capable of promoting cell migration. OHA-CMC/CNP/EGF significantly accelerated diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Nanodiamond (ND) refers to diamond particles with sizes from few to near 100 nanometers. For its superb physical, chemical and spectroscopic properties, it has been proposed and studied with the aims for bio imaging and drug delivery. Many modalities on conjugating drug molecules on ND to form ND-X for more efficient drug delivery have been demonstrated in the cellular and animal models. AREA COVERED Many novel drug delivery approaches utilizing nanodiamond as a platform have been demonstrated recently. This review summarizes recent developments on the nanodiamond facilitated drug delivery, from the ND-X complexes preparations to tests in the cellular and animal models. The outlook on clinical translation is discussed. EXPERT OPINION Nanodiamond and drug complexes (ND-X) produced from different methods are realized for drug delivery; almost all studies reported ND-X being more efficient compared to pure drug alone. However, ND of particle size less than 10 nm are found more toxic due to size and surface structure, and strongly aggregate. In vivo studies demonstrate ND accumulation in animal organs and no confirmed long-term effect studies on their release from organs are available. Standardized nanodiamond materials and drug delivery approaches are needed to advance the applications to the clinical level.

Abstract
The current therapies against cancer showed limited success. Nanotechnology is a promising strategy for cancer tracking, diagnosis, and therapy. The hybrid nanotechnology assembled several materials in a multimodal system to develop multifunctional approaches to cancer treatment. The quantum dot and polymer are some of these hybrid nanoparticle platforms. The quantum dot hybrid system possesses photonic and magnetic properties, allowing photothermal therapy and live multimodal imaging of cancer. These quantum dots were used to convey medicines to cancer cells. Hybrid polymer nanoparticles were utilized for the systemic delivery of small interfering RNA to malignant tumors and metastasis. They allowed non-invasive imaging to track in real-time the biodistribution of small interfering RNA in the whole body. They offer an opportunity to treat cancers by specifically silencing target genes. This review highlights the major nanotechnology approaches to effectively treat cancer and metastasis.

Abstract
Herein we evaluate the effect of nanodiamond (ND) incorporation on the mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposite. Three quantities of ND (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt.%) were tested against the control and zirconium oxide nanoparticles (ZrO). Flexural strength and elastic modulus were measured using a three-point bending test, surface hardness was evaluated using the Vickers hardness test, and surface roughness was evaluated using atomic force microscopy (AFM), while fungal adhesion and viability were studied using Candida albicans. Samples were also analyzed for biofilm thickness and biomass in a saliva-derived biofilm model. All groups of ND-PMMA nanocomposites had significantly greater mean flexural strengths and statistically improved elastic modulus, compared to the control and ZrO groups (P < 0.001). The Vickers hardness values significantly increased compared to the control group (P < 0.001) with 0.3% and 0.5% ND. ND addition also gave significant reduction in fungal adhesion and viability (P < 0.001) compared to the control group. Finally, salivary biofilm formation was markedly reduced compared to the ZrO group. Hence, the incorporation of 0.1–0.5 wt.% ND with auto- polymerized PMMA resin significantly improved the flexural strength, elastic modulus, and surface hardness, and provided considerable fungal resistance.

Abstract
The field of nanomedicine has made substantial strides in the areas of therapeutic and diagnostic development. For example, nanoparticle-modified drug compounds and imaging agents have resulted in markedly enhanced treatment outcomes and contrast efficiency. In recent years, investigational nanomedicine platforms have also been taken into the clinic, with regulatory approval for Abraxane® and other products being awarded. As the nanomedicine field has continued to evolve, multifunctional approaches have been explored to simultaneously integrate therapeutic and diagnostic agents onto a single particle, or deliver multiple nanomedicine-functionalized therapies in unison. Similar to the objectives of conventional combination therapy, these strategies may further improve treatment outcomes through targeted, multi-agent delivery that preserves drug synergy. Also, similar to conventional/unmodified combination therapy, nanomedicine-based drug delivery is often explored at fixed doses. A persistent challenge in all forms of drug administration is that drug synergy is time-dependent, dose-dependent and patient-specific at any given point of treatment. To overcome this challenge, the evolution towards nanomedicine-mediated co-delivery of multiple therapies has made the potential of interfacing artificial intelligence (AI) with nanomedicine to sustain optimization in combinatorial nanotherapy a reality. Specifically, optimizing drug and dose parameters in combinatorial nanomedicine administration is a specific area where AI can actionably realize the full potential of nanomedicine. To this end, this review will examine the role that AI can have in substantially improving nanomedicine-based treatment outcomes, particularly in the context of combination nanotherapy for both N-of-1 and population-optimized treatment.

Abstract
Nanosized crosslinked polymer networks, named as nanogels, are playing an increasingly important role in a diverse range of applications by virtue of their porous structures, large surface area, good biocompatibility and responsiveness to internal and/or external chemico-physical stimuli. Recently, a variety of carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon quantum dots, graphene/graphene oxide nanosheets, fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and nanodiamonds, have been embedded into responsive polymer nanogels, in order to integrate the unique electro-optical properties of carbon nanomaterials with the merits of nanogels into a single hybrid nanogel system for improvement of their applications in nanomedicine. A vast number of studies have been pursued to explore the applications of carbon-based hybrid nanogels in biomedical areas for biosensing, bioimaging, and smart drug carriers with combinatorial therapies and/or theranostic ability. New synthetic methods and structures have been developed to prepare carbon-based hybrid nanogels with versatile properties and functions. In this review, we summarize the latest developments and applications and address the future perspectives of these carbon-based hybrid nanogels in the biomedical field.
