[PMID: 39056850 PMCID: PMC11275129 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics9070409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 06/24/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the current state-of-the-art in the fabrication of bioceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering, with an emphasis on the use of three-dimensional (3D) technologies coupled with generative design principles. The field of modern medicine has witnessed remarkable advancements and continuous innovation in recent decades, driven by a relentless desire to improve patient outcomes and quality of life. Central to this progress is the field of tissue engineering, which holds immense promise for regenerative medicine applications. Scaffolds are integral to tissue engineering and serve as 3D frameworks that support cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. A wide array of materials has been explored for the fabrication of scaffolds, including bioceramics (i.e., hydroxyapatite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, bioglasses) and bioceramic-polymer composites, each offering unique properties and functionalities tailored to specific applications. Several fabrication methods, such as thermal-induced phase separation, electrospinning, freeze-drying, gas foaming, particle leaching/solvent casting, fused deposition modeling, 3D printing, stereolithography and selective laser sintering, will be introduced and thoroughly analyzed and discussed from the point of view of their unique characteristics, which have proven invaluable for obtaining bioceramic scaffolds. Moreover, by highlighting the important role of generative design in scaffold optimization, this review seeks to pave the way for the development of innovative strategies and personalized solutions to address significant gaps in the current literature, mainly related to complex bone defects in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammation-related condition, caused by an infectious microbiome and host defense that causes damage to periodontium. The natural processes of the mouth, like saliva production and eating, significantly diminish therapeutic medication residency in the region of periodontal disease. Furthermore, the complexity and diversity of pathological mechanisms make successful periodontitis treatment challenging. As a result, developing enhanced local drug delivery technologies and logical therapy procedures provides the foundation for effective periodontitis treatment. Being biocompatible, biodegradable, and easily administered to the periodontal tissues, hydrogels have sparked substantial an intense curiosity in the discipline of periodontal therapy. The primary objective of hydrogel research has changed in recent years to intelligent thermosensitive hydrogels, that involve local adjustable sol-gel transformations and regulate medication release in reaction to temperature, we present a thorough introduction to the creation and efficient construction of new intelligent thermosensitive hydrogels for periodontal regeneration. We also address cutting-edge smart hydrogel treatment options based on periodontitis pathophysiology. Furthermore, the problems and prospective study objectives are reviewed, with a focus on establishing effective hydrogel delivery methods and prospective clinical applications.

Investigating the Role of Amino Acids in Short Peptides for Hydroxyapatite Binding and Osteogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells to Aid Bone Regeneration.

Abstract
Bone defects show a slow rate of osteoconduction and imperfect reconstruction, and the current treatment strategies to treat bone defects suffer from limitations like immunogenicity, lack of cell adhesion, and the absence of osteogenic activity. In this context, bioactive supramolecular peptides and peptide gels offer unique opportunities to develop biomaterials that can play a dominant role in the biomineralization of bone tissues and promote bone formation. In this article, we have demonstrated the potential of six tetrapeptides for specific binding to hydroxyapatite (HAp), a major inorganic component of the bone, and their effect on the growth and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We adopted a simplistic approach of rationally designing amphiphilic peptides by incorporating amino acids, Ser, pSer, Pro, Hyp, Asp, and Glu, which are present in either collagenous or noncollagenous proteins and render properties like antioxidant, calcification, and mineralization. A total of six tetrapeptides, Trp-Trp-His-Ser (WWHS), Trp-Trp-His-pSer (WWHJ), Trp-Trp-His-Pro (WWHP), Trp-Trp-His-Hyp (WWHO), Trp-Trp-His-Asp (WWHD), and Trp-Trp-His-Glu (WWHE), were synthesized. Four peptides were found to self-assemble into nanofibrillar gels resembling the extracellular matrix (ECM), and the remaining two peptides (WWHJ, WWHP) self-assembled into nanorods. The peptides showed excellent cell adhesion, encapsulation, proliferation, and migration and induced the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as evident from the enhanced mineralization, resulting from the upregulation of osteogenic markers, RUNX 2, COL I, OPN, and OCN, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, and calcium deposition. The peptides also induced the downregulation of inflammatory markers, TNF-α and iNOS, and the upregulation of the anti-inflammatory marker, IL-10, resulting in M2 macrophage polarization. RANKL and TRAP genes were downregulated in a coculture system of MC3T3-E1 and RAW 264.7 cells, implying that peptides promote osteogenesis and inhibit osteoclastogenesis. The peptide-based biomaterials developed in this work can enhance bone regeneration capacity and show strong potential as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The repair of bone defects remains a major challenge in the clinic, and treatment requires bone grafts or bone replacement materials. Existing biomaterials have many limitations and cannot meet the various needs of clinical applications. To treat bone defects, we constructed a nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)/methylacrylylated silk fibroin (MASF) composite biological scaffold using photocurable 3D printing technology. In this study, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to detect the changes in the morphological structure of the composite scaffold with different contents of nanohydroxyapatite, and FTIR was used to detect the functional groups and chemical bonds in the composite scaffold to determine the specific components of the scaffold. In in vitro experiments, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from SD rats were cocultured with scaffolds soaking solution, and the cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, Western blot analysis, Quantitative real-time PCR analysis, bone alkaline phosphatase activity and alizarin red staining of scaffolds were detected to determine the biocompatibility of scaffolds and the effect of promoting proliferation and osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. In the in vivo experiment, the skull defect was constructed by adult SD rats, and the scaffold was implanted into the skull defect site. After 4 weeks and 8 weeks of culture, the specific osteogenic effect of the scaffold in the skull defect site was detected by animal micro-CT, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Masson's staining. Through the analysis of the morphological structure of the scaffold, we found that the frame supported good retention of the lamellar structure of silk fibroin, when mixed with nHA, the surface of the stent was rougher, the cell contact area increased, and cell adhesion and lamellar microstructure for cell migration and proliferation of the microenvironment provided a better space. FTIR results showed that the scaffold completely retained the β -folded structure of silk fibroin, and the scaffold composite was present without obvious impurities. The staining results of live/dead cells showed that the constructed scaffolds had no significant cytotoxicity, and thw CCK-8 assay also showed that the constructed scaffolds had good biocompatibility. The results of osteogenic induction showed that the scaffold had good osteogenic induction ability. Moreover, the results also showed that the scaffold with a MASF: nHA ratio of 1: 0.5 (SFH) showed better osteogenic ability. The micro-CT and bone histometric results were consistent with the in vitro results after stent implantation, and there was more bone formation at the bone defect site in the SFH group.This research used photocurable 3D printing technology to successfully build an osteogenesis bracket. The results show that the constructed nHA/MASF biological composite material, has good biocompatibility and good osteogenesis function. At the same time, in the microenvironment, the material can also promote bone defect repair and can potentially be used as a bone defect filling material for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Critical-size bone defects are a common and intractable clinical problem that typically requires filling in with surgical implants to facilitate bone regeneration. Considering the limitations of autologous bone and allogeneic bone in clinical applications, such as secondary damage or immunogenicity, injectable microhydrogels with osteogenic and angiogenic effects have received considerable attention. Herein, polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized strontium alginate/nanohydroxyapatite (Sr-Alg/nHA) composite microhydrogels loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were prepared using microfluidic technology. This composite microhydrogel released strontium ions stably for at least 42 days to promote bone formation. The PDA coating can release VEGF in a controlled manner, effectively promote angiogenesis around bone defects, and provide nutritional support for new bone formation. In in vitro experiments, the composite microhydrogels had good biocompatibility. The PDA coating greatly improves cell adhesion on the composite microhydrogel and provides good controlled release of VEGF. Therefore, this composite microhydrogel effectively promotes osteogenic differentiation and vascularization. In in vivo experiments, composite microhydrogels were injected into critical-size bone defects in the skull of rats, and they were shown by microcomputed tomography and tissue sections to be effective in promoting bone regeneration. These findings demonstrated that this novel microhydrogel effectively promotes bone formation and angiogenesis at the site of bone defects.

Abstract
Three-dimensional nanofiber scaffolds offer a promising method for simulating in vivo conditions within the laboratory. This study aims to investigate the influence of a bilayer amniochorionic membrane/nanofibrous fibroin scaffold on the differentiation of human menstrual blood mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MenSCs) into female germ cells. MenSCs were isolated and assigned to four culture groups: (i) MenSCs co-cultured with granulosa cells (GCs) using the scaffold (3D-T group), (ii) MenSCs using the scaffold alone (3D-C group), (iii) MenSCs co-cultured only with GCs (2D-T group), and (iv) MenSCs without co-culture or scaffold (2D-C group). Both MenSCs and GCs were independently cultured for two weeks before co-culturing was initiated. Flow cytometry was employed to characterize MenSCs based on positive markers (CD73, CD90, and CD105) and negative markers (CD45 and CD133). Additionally, flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry were used to characterize the GCs. Differentiated MenSCs were analyzed using real-time PCR and immunostaining. The real-time PCR results demonstrated significantly higher levels of VASA expression in the 3D-T group compared to the 3D-C, 2D-T, and 2D-C groups. Similarly, the SCP3 mRNA level in the 3D-T group was notably elevated compared to the 3D-C, 2D-T, and 2D-C groups. Moreover, the expression of GDF9 was significantly higher in the 3D-T group when compared to the 3D-C, 2D-T, and 2D-C groups. Immunostaining results revealed a lack of signal for VASA, SCP3, or GDF9 markers in the 2D-T group, while some cells in the 3D-T group exhibited positive staining for all these proteins. These findings suggest that the combination of a bilayer amniochorionic membrane/nanofibrous fibroin scaffold with co-culturing GCs facilitates the differentiation of MenSCs into female germ cells.

Abstract
Lack of horizontal and vertical bone at the site of an implant can lead to significant clinical problems that need to be addressed before implant treatment can take place. Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a commonly used surgical procedure that employs a barrier membrane to encourage the growth of new bone tissue in areas where bone has been lost due to injury or disease. It is a promising approach to achieve desired repair in bone tissue and is widely accepted and used in approximately 40% of patients with bone defects. In this Review, we provide a comprehensive examination of recent advances in resorbable membranes for GBR including natural materials such as chitosan, collagen, silk fibroin, along with synthetic materials such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and their copolymers. In addition, the properties of these materials including foreign body reaction, mechanical stability, antibacterial property, and growth factor delivery performance will be compared and discussed. Finally, future directions for resorbable membrane development and potential clinical applications will be highlighted.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell (Ad-MSC) with capacities of releasing trophic factors and chondrogenic differentiation was a promising candidate for tracheal reconstruction. Silk fibroin (SF)- hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds were fabricated by the freeze-drying method. And Ad-MSCs were co-cultured on the scaffolds for 14 days in vitro. The role of the SF-HA scaffold in regulating the adhesion, growth, and proliferation of Ad-MSCs, and its potential mechanisms were investigated. The identity of Ad-MSCs was confirmed by cell morphology, surface markers, and differentiation characteristics. Cell proliferation, viability, and morphology were observed via CCK-8, live/dead assay, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Gene mRNA and protein levels were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting, respectively. SF-HA scaffolds showed excellent properties of promoting Ad-MSCs adhesion, growth, and proliferation for at least 14 days. In the CCK-8 assay, the relative OD value of Ad-MSCs cultured on SF-HA scaffolds increased (p < 0.001). Furthermore, live/dead staining showed that the fluorescent coverage increased with time (p < 0.05). SEM also showed that 3 days after inoculation, the coverage of Ad-MSCs on the SF-HA scaffolds was 78.15%, increased to 92.91% on day 7, and reached a peak of 94.38% on day 14. Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) mRNA and phosphorylated ERK (pERK) protein expression increased at day 3 (p < 0.05), followed by a significant decline at day 7 (p < 0.05). And ERK mRNA expression was positively correlated with Ad-MSCs proliferation (p < 0.05). In summary, the SF-HA scaffold co-cultured with Ad-MSCs is a promising biomaterial for tracheal repair by activating the ERK signal pathway.

Abstract
Peptides can introduce new functions to biomaterials but their immobilization usually relies on inefficient physical adsorption or tedious chemical conjugation. Using the Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) membrane (SFm) as a model biomaterial, here, we demonstrate a universal strategy for discovering new peptides that can "stick" to a biomaterial to functionalize it. Specifically, two peptide motifs, one screened by phage display biopanning for binding to the biomaterial (i.e., SF) and another derived from an osteogenic growth factor (i.e., bone morphogenetic protein-2), are fused into a new chimeric peptide that can bind to SFm for more efficient osteogenesis. Theoretical simulations and experimental assays confirm that the chimeric peptide binds to SF with high affinity, facilely achieving its immobilization onto SFm. The peptide enables SFm to effectively induce osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) even without other osteogenic inducers and efficiently stimulate bone regeneration in a subcutaneous rat model in 8 weeks, even without MSC seeding, while not causing inflammatory responses. Since biomaterial-binding peptides can be readily screened using phage display and functional peptides can be generated from growth factors, our work suggests a universal strategy for combining them to seek new peptides for binding and functionalizing biomaterials.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) utilizes a special mix of scaffolds, cells, and bioactive factors to regulate the microenvironment of bone regeneration and form a three-dimensional bone simulation structure to regenerate bone tissue. Silk fibroin (SF) is perhaps the most encouraging material for BTE given its tunable mechanical properties, controllable biodegradability, and excellent biocompatibility. Numerous studies have confirmed the significance of SF for stimulating bone formation. In this review, we start by introducing the structure and characteristics of SF. After that, the immunological mechanism of SF for osteogenesis is summarized, and various forms of SF biomaterials and the latest development prospects of SF in BTE are emphatically introduced. Biomaterials based on SF have great potential in bone tissue engineering, and this review will serve as a resource for future design and research.

Abstract
According to World Health Organization (WHO), on average, 0.5 Kg of hazardous waste is generated per bed every day in high-income countries. The adverse effects imposed by synthetic materials and chemicals on the environment and humankind have urged researchers to explore greener technologies and materials. Amidst of all the natural fibers, silk fibroin (SF), by virtue of its superior toughness (6 × 104∼16 × 104 J/kg), tensile strength (47.2-67.7 MPa), tunable biodegradability, excellent Young's modulus (1.9-3.9 GPa), presence of functional groups, ease of processing, and biocompatibility has garnered an enormous amount of scientific interests. The use of silk fibroin conjoint with purely natural materials can be an excellent solution for the adverse effects of chemical-based treatment techniques. Considering this noteworthiness, vigorous research is going on in silk-based biomaterials, and it is opening up new vistas of opportunities. This review enswathes the structural aspects of silk fibroin along with its potency to form composites with other natural materials, such as curcumin, keratin, alginate, hydroxyapatite, hyaluronic acid, and cellulose, that can replace the conventionally used synthetic materials, providing a sustainable pathway to biomedical engineering. It was observed that a large amount of polar functional moieties present on the silk fibroin surface enables them to compatibilize easily with the natural additives. The conjunction of silk with natural additives initiates synergistic interactions that mitigate the limitations offered by individual units as well as enhance the applicability of materials. Further the current status and challenges in the commercialization of silk-based biomedical devices are discussed.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis is one of the most challenging diseases in orthopedic treatment. It is usually treated with intravenous antibiotics and debridement in clinical practice, which also brings systemic drug side effects and bone defects. The local drug delivery system of antibiotics has the characteristics of targeted slow release to the lesion site, replacing systemic antibiotics and reducing the toxic and side effects of drugs. It can also increase the local drug concentration, achieve sound bacteriostatic effects, and promote bone healing and formation. Currently, PMMA beads are used in treating chronic osteomyelitis at home and abroad, but the chain beads need to be removed after a second operation, inconveniences patients. Biodegradable materials have been extensively studied as optimal options for antibiotic encapsulation and delivery, bringing new hope for treating chronic osteomyelitis. This article reviews the research progress of local drug delivery systems based on biodegradable polymers, including natural and synthetic ones, in treating chronic osteomyelitis.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) represents a multidisciplinary research field involving many aspects of biology, engineering, material science, clinical medicine and genetics to create biological substitutes to promote bone regeneration. The definition of the most appropriate biomaterials and structures for BTE is still a challenge for researchers, aiming at simultaneously combining different features such as tissue generation properties, biocompatibility, porosity and mechanical strength. In this scenario, among the biomaterials for BTE, silk fibroin represents a valuable option for the development of functional devices because of its unique biological properties and the multiple chances of processing. This review article aims at providing the reader with a general overview of the most recent progresses in bone tissue engineering in terms of approaches and materials with a special focus on silk fibroin and the related mechanisms involved in bone regeneration, and presenting interesting results obtained by different research groups, which assessed the great potential of this protein for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IDD) is the main contributor to chronic low back pain. To date, the present therapies mainly focus on treating the symptoms caused by IDD rather than addressing the problem itself. For this reason, researchers have searched for a suitable biomaterial to repair and/or regenerate the IVD. A promising candidate to fill this gap is silk, which has already been used as a biomaterial for many years. Therefore, this review aims first to elaborate on the different origins from which silk is harvested, the individual composition, and the characteristics of each silk type. Another goal is to enlighten why silk is so suitable as a biomaterial, discuss its functionalization, and how it could be used for tissue engineering purposes. The second part of this review aims to provide an overview of preclinical studies using silk-based biomaterials to repair the inner region of the IVD, the nucleus pulposus (NP), and the IVD's outer area, the annulus fibrosus (AF). Since the NP and the AF differ fundamentally in their structure, different therapeutic approaches are required. Consequently, silk-containing hydrogels have been used mainly to repair the NP, and silk-based scaffolds have been used for the AF. Although most preclinical studies have shown promising results in IVD-related repair and regeneration, their clinical transition is yet to come.

The Effect of Germanium-Loaded Hydroxyapatite Biomaterials on Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells Growth. Cells 2022; 11:cells11192993.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a hard mineral component of mineralized tissues, mainly composed of calcium and phosphate. Due to its bioavailability, HA is potentially used for the repair and regeneration of mineralized tissues. For this purpose, the properties of HA are significantly improved by adding natural and synthetic materials. In this sense, the germanium (Ge) mineral was loaded in HA biomaterial by cold isostatic pressure for the first time and characterization and biocompatibility using bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were investigated. The addition of Ge at 5% improved the solubility (3.32%), stiffness (18.34 MPa), water holding (31.27%) and biodegradation (21.87%) properties of HA, compared to control. Compared to all composite biomaterials, the drug-releasing behavior of HA-3% Ge was higher at pH 1 and 3 and the maximum drug release was obtained at pH 7 and 9 with HA-5% Ge biomaterials. Among the different mediums tested, the DMEM-medium showed a higher drug release rate, especially at 60 min. HA-Ge biomaterials showed better protein adhesion and apatite layer formation, which ultimately proves the compatibility in BM-MSCs culture. Except for higher concentrations of HA (5 and 10 mg/mL), the different concentrations of Ge and HA and wells coated with 1% of HA-1% Ge had higher BM-MSCs growth than control. All these findings concluded that the fabricated HA biomaterials loaded with Ge could be the potential biomaterial for culturing mammalian cells towards mineralized tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Porous scaffolds hold promise in the treatment of bone defects for bone tissue engineering due to their interconnected porous structure and suitable mechanical properties. Herein, LAPONITE® (LAP), which is able to promote osteogenic differentiation, was introduced into regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) porous scaffolds. Due to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between RSF and LAP, RSF/LAP 3D porous scaffolds were successfully prepared. The pore size, porosity, and mechanical properties of the RSF/LAP 3D porous scaffolds were modulated during the preparation process. Evaluation of the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the RSF/LAP 3D porous scaffolds in vitro indicated that the addition of LAP improved the adhesion and proliferation of cells. Additionally, alkaline phosphatase activity and osteospecific gene expression analysis showed that the RSF/LAP 3D porous scaffolds enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs compared to the pristine RSF porous scaffolds, especially with a higher LAP content. The subcutaneous implantation of the RSF/LAP 3D porous scaffolds in rats demonstrated good histocompatibility in vivo. Therefore, RSF/LAP 3D porous scaffolds with good biocompatibility and biodegradability have good application prospects in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
This article detects the drug-carrying capacity of the new chitosan/silk fibroin/nano-hydroxyapatite multilayer composite scaffold and analyzes its efficacy in postoperative care of orthopedic fractures. The article uses animal experiments for comparative analysis. All animals undergo
fracture model establishment. One group uses nano three-dimensional scaffold materials loaded with antibiotics, one group is pure nano three-dimensional scaffold materials, and the last group is without any implantation treatment. Finally, it was found that the fracture recovery of the three
groups of animals was different. In particular, all the antibiotic-loaded nano three-dimensional scaffold material group indicators are better than the other two groups. For this reason, we conclude that the new chitosan/silk fibroin/nano-hydroxyapatite multilayer composite scaffold has a
strong drug-carrying capacity. The stent is worthy of clinical promotion and use in orthopedics.

Firdaus Hussin MS, Abdullah HZ, Idris MI, Abdul Wahap MA. Extraction of natural hydroxyapatite for biomedical applications—A review. Heliyon 2022; 8:e10356. [PMID: 36082327 PMCID: PMC9445296 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e10356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/15/2022] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite has recently played a crucial role in the sustainable development of biomedical applications. Publications related to hydroxyapatite as filler for biopolymers have exhibited an increasing trend due to the expanding research output. Based on the latest publications, the authors reviewed the research trends regarding hydroxyapatite use in biomedical applications. Analysis of the Scopus database using the keywords ‘hydroxyapatite” and “biomedical applications” determined that 1,714 papers were produced between 2012 and 2021. The number of publications related to these keywords more than doubled between 2012 (99) and 2021 (247). The hydrothermal method, solid-state reactions, the sol-gel process, emulsion, micro-emulsion, and mostly chemical precipitation were used to produce synthetic hydroxyapatite. Meanwhile, calcination, alkaline hydrolysis, precipitation, hydrothermal, and a combination of these techniques were used in producing natural hydroxyapatite. Studies in the current literature reveal that shell-based animal sources have been frequently used as hydroxyapatite resources during investigations concerning biomedical applications, while calcination was the extraction method most often applied. Essential trace elements of fish bone, oyster shell, and eggshell were also found in hydroxyapatite powder. Abalone mussel shell and eggshell showed Ca/P ratios closer to the stoichiometric ratio due to the use of effective extraction methods such as manipulating aging time or stirring process parameters. This review should greatly assist by offering scientific insights to support all the recommended future research works, not only that associated with biomedical applications.

Abstract
Infection remains one of the largest threats to global health. Among those infections that are especially troublesome, osteomyelitis, or inflammation of the bone, typically due to infection, is a particularly difficult condition to diagnose and treat. This difficulty stems not only from the biological complexities of opportunistic infections designed to avoid the onslaught of both the host immune system as well as exogenous antibiotics, but also from changes in the host vasculature and the heterogeneity of infectious presentations. While several groups have attempted to classify and stage osteomyelitis, controversy remains, often delaying diagnosis and treatment. Despite a host of preclinical treatment advances being incubated in academic and company research and development labs worldwide, clinical treatment strategies remain relatively stagnant, including surgical debridement and lengthy courses of intravenous antibiotics, both of which may compromise the overall health of the bone and the patient. This manuscript reviews the current methods for diagnosing and treating osteomyelitis and then contemplates the role that nanotechnology might play in the advancement of osteomyelitis treatment.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used technique for alveolar bone augmentation. Among all the principal elements, barrier membrane is recognized as the key to the success of GBR. Ideal barrier membrane should have satisfactory biological and mechanical properties. According to their composition, barrier membranes can be divided into polymer membranes and non-polymer membranes. Polymer barrier membranes have become a research hotspot not only because they can control the physical and chemical characteristics of the membranes by regulating the synthesis conditions but also because their prices are relatively low. Still now the bone augment effect of barrier membrane used in clinical practice is more dependent on the body’s own growth potential and the osteogenic effect is difficult to predict. Therefore, scholars have carried out many researches to explore new barrier membranes in order to improve the success rate of bone enhancement. The aim of this study is to collect and compare recent studies on optimizing barrier membranes. The characteristics and research progress of different types of barrier membranes were also discussed in detail.

Silk Fibroin/Hydroxyapatite Coating Improved Osseointegration of Porous Titanium Implants under Diabetic Conditions via Activation of the PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway.

Abstract
The application of three-dimensional printed porous titanium implants (TIs) is compromised in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM), which disturbs the normal process of implant osseointegration, resulting in fixation failure. It was possibly because of reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction at the bone-implant interface. A silk fibroin-based hydroxyapatite (SF/HA) hybrid material emerged as a novel biological material for accelerating new bone formation. We proposed that the SF/HA hybrid coated titanium implant (SHT) could mitigate DM-mediated impaired osseointegration, which had never been reported previously. To test this assumption and further elucidate the mechanisms, primary rabbit osteoblasts were seeded on TIs or SHTs and cultured with normal serum, diabetic serum (DS), DS + N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) (a potent ROS inhibitor), and DS + LY294002 (a specific PI3K/Akt inhibitor) for osteoblast behavior examinations. An animal study was performed on diabetic rabbits implanted with the two kinds of implants for osseointegration tests. DM-mediated ROS overproduction caused osteoblastic biological dysfunctions and apoptotic injury, associated with suppression of PI3K/Akt signaling in osteoblasts cultured on a TI substrate. Of note, the SHT substrate significantly suppressed ROS overproduction under diabetic conditions, improved osteoblast functional recovery including ameliorative osteoblast adhesion and morphology, improved cellular proliferation and differentiation, and abrogated apoptosis, which exhibited the same effect as NAC administration on the TI. The in vitro results were further corroborated in vivo by enhanced osteogenesis and osseointegration of SHTs in diabetic rabbits. Moreover, the aforesaid promotive effects afforded by the SF/HA coating were totally abolished with administration of LY294002 for blocking PI3K/Akt signaling. The above results collectively demonstrated that the SF/HA hybrid coating significantly ameliorated DM-mediated impaired osseointegration of the TI via reactivation of the ROS-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. The hybrid coating elicited a novel surface biofunctionalization strategy to attain favorable clinical performance of TI in diabetics.

Abstract
Osteoconductive silk fibroin (SF) binders were fabricated for the bone repair of an alveolar cleft defect. Binders were prefigureared by mixing different ratios of a mixture of random coils and SF aggregation with SF fibrils: 100:0 (SFB100), 75:25 (SFB75), 50:50 (SFB50), 25:75 (SFB25), and 0:100 (SFB0). The gelation, molecular organization, structures, topography, and morphology of the binders were characterized and observed. Their physical, mechanical, and biological properties were tested. The SF binders showed gelation via self-assembly of SF aggregation and fibrillation. SFB75, SFB50, and SFB25 had molecular formation via the amide groups and showed more structural stability than SFB100. The morphology of SFB0 demonstrated the largest pore size. SFB0 showed a lowest hydrophilicity. SFB100 showed the highest SF release. SFB25 had the highest maximum load. SFB50 exhibited the lowest elongation at break. Binders with SF fibrils showed more cell viability and higher cell proliferation, ALP activity, calcium deposition, and protein synthesis than without SF fibrils. Finally, the results were deduced: SFB25 demonstrated suitable performance that is promising for the bone repair of an alveolar cleft defect.

Transformation behaviour of salts composed of calcium ions and phosphate esters with different linear alkyl chain structures in a simulated body fluid modified with alkaline phosphatase.

Abstract
Ceramic biomaterials have been used for the treatment of bone defects and have stimulated intense research on such materials. We have previously reported that a salt composed of calcium ions and a phosphate ester (SCPE) transformed into hydroxyapatite (HAp) in a simulated body fluid (SBF) modified with alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and proposed SCPEs as a new category of ceramic biomaterials, namely bioresponsive ceramics. However, the factors that affect the transformation of SCPEs to HAp in the SBF remained unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the behaviour of calcium salts of methyl phosphate (CaMeP), ethyl phosphate (CaEtP), butyl phosphate (CaBuP), and dodecyl phosphate (CaDoP) in SBF with and without ALP modification. For the standard SBF, an X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that these SCPEs did not readily transform into calcium phosphate. However, CaMeP, CaEtP, and CaBuP were transformed into HAp and octacalcium phosphate in the SBF modified with ALP; therefore, these SCPEs can be categorised as bioresponsive ceramics. Although CaDoP did not exhibit a sufficient response to ALP to be detected by XRD, it is likely to be a bioresponsive ceramic based on the results of morphological observations. The transformation rate for the SCPEs decreased with increasing size of the linear alkyl group of the phosphate esters. The rate-determining steps for the transformation reaction of the SCPEs were changed from the dissolution of the SCPEs to the hydrolysis of the phosphate esters with increasing size of the phosphate ester alkyl groups. These findings contribute to designing novel bioresponsive ceramic biomaterials.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal (MS) system consists of bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and skeletal muscle, which forms the basic framework of the human body. This system plays a vital role in appropriate body functions, including movement, the protection of internal organs, support, hematopoiesis, and postural stability. Therefore, it is understandable that the damage or loss of MS tissues significantly reduces the quality of life and limits mobility. Tissue engineering and its applications in the healthcare industry have been rapidly growing over the past few decades. Tissue engineering has made significant contributions toward developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of MS defects and relevant disease. Among various biomaterials used for tissue engineering, natural polymers offer superior properties that promote optimal cell interaction and desired biological function. Natural polymers have similarity with the native ECM, including enzymatic degradation, bio-resorb and non-toxic degradation products, ability to conjugate with various agents, and high chemical versatility, biocompatibility, and bioactivity that promote optimal cell interaction and desired biological functions. This review summarizes recent advances in applying natural-based scaffolds for musculoskeletal tissue engineering.

Abstract
Curcumin (CUR), a natural compound found in turmeric that has multiple biological functions such as antibacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and wound healing properties due to its hydrophobicity CUR solubilization is a great challenge. In this study, the electrospinning process is used to fabricate a novel active wound dressing based on CUR loaded silk fibroin (SF)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) (SF/HAp-CUR) nanofibers in diabetic rats. The incorporation of CUR into the SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers had an obvious effect on the morphology and dimension of SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers characterized by SEM analysis. Morphological analysis revealed that the average fiber diameter of the SF/HAp, SF/HAp-CUR(1.0%), SF/HAp-CUR(3.0%), and SF/HAp-CUR(5.0%) nanofibers were calculated to be 461 ± 65 nm, 323 ± 90 nm, 412 ± 110, and 497 ± 118 nm. In addition of CUR in the SF/HAp nanofibers significantly improved the mechanical properties in terms of enhanced elongation at break and tensile strengths. The percentages of water uptake and porosity of SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers were 143.7 ± 4.05% and 92.5 ± 3.40%, respectively. The results showed that CUR presented a sustained release behavior from SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers and maintained its free radical scavenging ability. The prepared nanofibers surface interaction was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD analysis. Antibacterial tests revealed SF/HAp-CUR on day 14 improved the bacterial embarrassment of both E. coli and S. aureus by 4 to 5-fold, respectively. The cell cytotoxicity with L929 mouse fibroblasts on the SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers was very low at 7.7 ± 1.75% on day 14. In vivo wound healing showed that the treatment using SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers significantly increased the rate of wound closure (99.6 ± 0.86%) on day 21 compared with that using SF/HAp nanofibers (67.7 ± 4.25%). These results showed that the delivery of SF/HAp-CUR nanofibers can facilitate antibacterial, anti-oxidant, cytotoxicity of wound healing properties.

Abstract
Like the proposal of nanotechnology by Richard Feynman, the nanoarchitectonics concept was initially proposed by Masakazu Aono. The nanoarchitectonics strategy conceptually fuses nanotechnology with other research fields including organic chemistry, supramolecular chemistry, micro/nanofabrication, materials science, and bio-related sciences, and aims to produce functional materials from nanoscale components. In this review article, bio-interactive nanoarchitectonics and two-dimensional materials and environments are discussed as a selected topic. The account gives general examples of nanoarchitectonics of two-dimensional materials for energy storage, catalysis, and biomedical applications, followed by explanations of bio-related applications with two-dimensional materials such as two-dimensional biomimetic nanosheets, fullerene nanosheets, and two-dimensional assemblies of one-dimensional fullerene nanowhiskers (FNWs). The discussion on bio-interactive nanoarchitectonics in two-dimensional environments further extends to liquid-liquid interfaces such as fluorocarbon-medium interfaces and viscous liquid interfaces as new frontiers of two-dimensional environments for bio-related applications. Controlling differentiation of stem cells at fluidic liquid interfaces is also discussed. Finally, a conclusive section briefly summarizes features of bio-interactive nanoarchitectonics with two-dimensional materials and environments and discusses possible future perspectives.

By mimicking their chemical compositions and hierarchical architectures, the past decades have witnessed the rapid development of bioinspired materials. As a very promising biosourced raw material, silk is drawing increasing attention due to excellent mechanical properties, favorable versatility, and good biocompatibility. In this review, we provide an overview of the recent progress in silk-based bioinspired structural and functional materials. We first give a brief introduction of silk, covering its sources, features, extraction, and forms. We then summarize the preparation and application of silk-based materials mimicking four typical biological materials including bone, nacre, skin, and polar bear hair. Finally, we discuss the current challenges and future prospects of this field.

Abstract
In this study, the novel biomimetic aerogel-based composite scaffolds through a synergistic combination of wet chemical synthesis and advanced engineering approaches have successfully designed. To this aim, initially the photo-crosslinkable methacrylated silk fibroin (SF-MA) biopolymer and methacrylated hollow mesoporous silica microcapsules (HMSC-MA) as the main constituents of the novel composite aerogels were synthesized. Afterward, by incorporation of drug-loaded HMSC-MA into the self-assembled SF-MA, printable gel-based composite inks are developed. By exploiting micro-extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) printing, SF-MA-HMSC composite gels are printed by careful controlling their viscosity to provide a means to control the shape fidelity of the resulted printed gel constructs. The developed scaffold has shown a multitude of interesting biophysical and biological performances. Namely, thanks to the photo-crosslinking of the gel components during the 3D printing, the scaffolds become mechanically more stable than the pristine SF scaffolds. Also, freeze-casting the printed constructs generates further interconnectivity in the printed pore struts resulting in the scaffolds with hierarchically organized porosities necessary for cell infiltration and growth. Importantly, HMSC incorporated scaffolds promote antibacterial drug delivery, cellular ingrowth and proliferation, promoting osteoblastic differentiation by inducing the expression of osteogenic markers and matrix mineralization. Finally, the osteoconductive, -inductive, and anti-infective composite aerogels are expected to act as excellent bone implanting materials with an extra feature of local and sustained release of drug for efficient therapy of bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Bone defects are a common challenge in the clinical setting. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an effective treatment for the clinical problem of large bone defects. In this study, we fabricated silk fibroin (SF)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds inlaid with naringin poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microspheres, investigating the feasibility of their application in BTE. Naringin PLGA microspheres were manufactured and adhered to the SF/HAp scaffold. Bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were inoculated onto the SF/HAp scaffold containing naringin PLGA microsphere to examine the biocompatibility of the SF/HAp scaffolds. A rabbit femoral distal bone defect model was used to evaluate the in vivo function of the SF/HAp scaffolds containing naringin-loaded PLGA microspheres. The current study demonstrated that SF/HAp scaffolds containing naringin-loaded PLGA microspheres show promise as osteo-modulatory biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Nanoarchitectonics has emerged as a post-nanotechnology concept. As one of the applications of nanoarchitectonics, this review paper discusses the control of stem cell fate and function as an important issue. For hybrid nanoarchitectonics involving living cells, it is crucial to understand how biomaterials and their nanoarchitected structures regulate behaviours and fates of stem cells. In this review, biomaterials for the regulation of stem cell fate are firstly discussed. Besides multipotent differentiation, immunomodulation is an important biological function of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs can modulate immune cells to treat multiple immune- and inflammation-mediated diseases. The following sections summarize the recent advances of the regulation of the immunomodulatory functions of MSCs by biophysical signals. In the third part, we discussed how biomaterials direct the self-organization of pluripotent stem cells for organoid. Bioactive materials are constructed which mimic the biophysical cues of in vivo microenvironment such as elasticity, viscoelasticity, biodegradation, fluidity, topography, cell geometry, and etc. Stem cells interpret these biophysical cues by different cytoskeletal forces. The different cytoskeletal forces lead to substantial transcription and protein expression, which affect stem cell fate and function. Regulations of stem cells could not be utilized only for tissue repair and regenerative medicine but also potentially for production of advanced materials systems. Materials nanoarchitectonics with integration of stem cells and related biological substances would have high impacts in science and technology of advanced materials.

Utility of Thermal Cross-Linking in Stabilizing Hydrogels with Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate and/or Epigallocatechin Gallate for Use in Bone Regeneration Therapy. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 14:40.

Abstract
β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules are commonly used materials in dentistry or orthopedic surgery. However, further improvements are required to raise the operability and bone-forming ability of β-TCP granules in a clinical setting. Recently, we developed epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-modified gelatin sponges as a novel biomaterial for bone regeneration. However, there is no study on using the above material for preparing hydrogel incorporating β-TCP granules. Here, we demonstrate that vacuum heating treatment induced thermal cross-linking in gelatin sponges modified with EGCG and incorporating β-TCP granules (vhEc-GS-β) so that the hydrogels prepared from vhEc-GS-β showed high stability, β-TCP granule retention, operability, and cytocompatibility. Additionally, microcomputed tomography morphometry revealed that the hydrogels from vhEc-GS-β had significantly higher bone-forming ability than β-TCP alone. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining demonstrated that the number of osteoclasts increased at three weeks in defects treated with the hydrogels from vhEc-GS-β compared with that around β-TCP alone. The overall results indicate that thermal cross-linking treatment for the preparation of sponges (precursor of hydrogels) can be a promising process to enhance the bone-forming ability. This insight should provide a basis for the development of novel materials with good operativity and bone-forming ability for bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair and regenerate damaged or lost tissues or organs. In dental aspect, reconstruction of the resorbed alveolar bone after tooth extraction plays an important role in the success of dental substitution, especially in dental implant treatment. The hydroxyapatite (HA)-incorporated fibroin-alginate composite injectable hydrogel was fabricated to be used as scaffold for bone regeneration. HA was synthesized from eggshell biowaste. Fibroin was extracted from Bombyx mori cocoon. The synthesized HA, fibroin and alginate hydrogel were characterized. HA-incorporated fibroin-alginate hydrogel had decreased pore size and porosity compared with pure alginate hydrogel. Thermal analysis showed that hydrogel had a degradation peak of approximately 250 °C. Hydrogel could absorb water, with a swelling ratio of around 300% at 24 h. Hydrogel was degraded as time passed and almost completely degraded at day 7. Its compressive Young's modulus was approximately 0.04 ± 0.02 N/mm2 to 0.10 ± 0.02 N/mm2. Primary cytotoxicity test indicated non-toxic potential of the fabricated hydrogel. Increased ALP activity was observed in MC3T3-E1 cultured in HA-incorporated fibroin-alginate hydrogel. Results suggested the potential use of injectable HA fibroin-alginate hydrogel as dental scaffolding material. Further studies including in vivo examinations are needed prior to its clinical application.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Impaired chronic wound healing frequently occurs in diabetic patients. We hypothesized that menstrual blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MenSCs) in combination with bilayer scaffold consisted of human amniotic membrane (AM) and electrospun silk fibroin nanofibers could potentially promote wound healing in diabetic mice. METHODS & METHODS Two bilateral full-thickness wounds were created on dorsal skin of type-1 diabetic mice model and animals were equally divided in four groups including: no-treatment group (NT), amniotic membrane treated group (AM), bilayer scaffold treated group (bSC), and MenSCs-seeded bilayer scaffold treated group (bSC + MenSCs). Wound healing evaluations were performed at 3, 7, and 14 days after their treatment. The wound healing was analyzed by macroscopic and microscopic evaluations, and immunofluorescence staining of involucrin (IVL), type III collagen, CD31/ von Willebrand factor (vWF), and PGP9.5 were performed. Furthermore, number of neutrophils and macrophages and subpopulation of macrophages were assessed. In addition, the expression of Egr2, Mmp9, CXCL12, IDO1, Ptgs2 and VEGFA transcripts involved in wound repair were also analyzed. RESULTS After 14 days, the best epidermal and dermal regeneration belonged to the cases received bSC + MenSCs as wound dressing. Moreover, the wound healing was typically faster in this group compared to other groups. Immunofluorescence evaluation represented higher levels of CD31 and VWF, higher ratio of M2/M1 macrophages, greater expression of IVL, and higher levels of the PGP9.5 in the bSC + MenSCs group in comparison with other groups. Expression analysis of assessed genes also supported assumption of more regeneration and healing in the bSC + MenSCs group versus other groups. CONCLUSION These results indicate that enhanced immunomodulatory and reparative properties of MenSCs in conjunction with bilayer scaffold specified this cellular skin substitute for modulating wound chronicity and contribution to resolution of wound healing process in diabetic ulcer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large bone defects have always been a great challenge for orthopedic surgeons. The use of a good bone substitute obtained by bone tissue engineering (BTE) may be an effective treatment method. Artificial hydroxyapatite, a commonly used bone defect filler, is the main inorganic component of bones. Because of its high brittleness, fragility, and lack of osteogenic active elements, its application is limited. Therefore, its fragility should be reduced, its osteogenic activity should be improved, and a more suitable scaffold should be constructed. METHODS In this study, a microhydroxyapatite whisker (mHAw) was developed, which was doped with the essential trace active elements Mg2+ and Sr2+ through a low-temperature sintering technique. After being formulated into a slurry, a bionic porous scaffold was manufactured by extrusion molding and freeze drying, and then SiO2 was used to improve the mechanical properties of the scaffold. The hydrophilicity, pore size, surface morphology, surface roughness, mechanical properties, and release rate of the osteogenic elements of the prepared scaffold were detected and analyzed. In in vitro experiments, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) were cultured on the scaffold to evaluate cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, spreading, and osteogenic differentiation. RESULTS Four types of scaffolds were obtained: mHAw-SiO2 (SHA), Mg-doped mHAw-SiO2 (SMHA), Sr-doped mHAw-SiO2 (SSHA), and Mg-Sr codoped mHAw-SiO2 (SMSHA). SHA was the most hydrophilic (WCA 5°), while SMHA was the least (WCA 8°); SMHA had the smallest pore size (247.40 ± 23.66 μm), while SSHA had the largest (286.20 ± 19.04 μm); SHA had the smallest Young's modulus (122.43 ± 28.79 MPa), while SSHA had the largest (188.44 ± 47.89 MPa); and SHA had the smallest compressive strength (1.72 ± 0.29 MPa), while SMHA had the largest (2.47 ± 0.25 MPa). The osteogenic active elements Si, Mg, and Sr were evenly distributed and could be sustainably released from the scaffolds. None of the scaffolds had cytotoxicity. SMSHA had the highest supporting cell proliferation and spreading rate, and its ability to promote osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs was also the strongest. CONCLUSIONS These composite porous scaffolds not only have acceptable physical and chemical properties suitable for BTE but also have higher osteogenic bioactivity and can possibly serve as potential bone repair materials.

Abstract
Silk is an ancient material with essential roles in numerous biomedical applications, such as tissue regeneration and drug delivery, because of its excellent tunable mechanical properties and diverse physical structures. In addition to the necessary functionalities for biomedical applications, another critical factor for materials applied in biology is the appropriate immune interactions with the body. This review focuses on the immune responses of silk-based materials applied in biomedical applications, specifically antigenicity. The factors affecting the antigenicity of silk-based materials are complicated and are related to the composition and structural characteristics of the materials. At the same time, the composition of silk-based materials varies with its species sources, such as silkworms, spiders, honey bees, or engineered recombinant silk. Additionally, different processing methods are used to fabricate different material formats, such as films, hydrogels, scaffolds, particles, and fibers, resulting in different structural characteristics. Furthermore, the resulting body reactions are also different with different degrees of the immune response. Silk protein typically induces a mild immune response, and immunogenicity can play active roles in osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and protection from inflammation. However, there are some rare reports of severe immune responses caused by silk, which can result in an allergic response or tissue necrosis. The source of allergenicity in silk-based materials is currently under-studied and how to regulate and eliminate the overreaction of the immune system is essential for further applications. Overall, the diverse characteristics of silk-based materials mostly show beneficial bioresponses with mild immunogenicity, and the tunable properties make it applicable in immune-related biomedical applications.

Abstract
Scaffold-mediated tissue engineering has become a golden solution for the regeneration of damaged bone tissues that lack self-regeneration capability. A successful scaffold in bone tissue engineering comprises a multitude of suitable biological, microarchitectural, and mechanical properties acting as different signaling cues for the cells to mediate the new tissue formation. Therefore, careful design of bioactive scaffold macro- and microstructures in multiple length scales and biophysical properties fulfilling the tissue repair demands are necessary yet challenging to achieve. Herein, we have developed an antibacterial and biocompatible silica-silk fibroin (SF) gel-based ink through novel yet simple chemical approaches of sol-gel and self-assembly followed by processing the obtained gels as three-dimensional (3D) hybrid aerogel-based scaffolds exploiting the advanced materials design approaches of micro-extrusion-based 3D printing, and directional freeze-casting/drying approaches. As the main constituent of the hybrid biocompatible scaffold of this study, we used the SF extracted from Bombyx mori silkworm cocoon. However, to increase the cell responsivity and bactericidal efficiency of the final scaffold, thiol-ended antimicrobial and cell adhesive peptide sequence (SH-CM-RGD) was conjugated to silica-SF hybrid gels via covalent attachment using a spacer molecule through either preprint (prior to sol-gel) or during the post-printing steps on the previously printed silica-SF gel. In the next step, the hybrid Silica-SF-CM-RGD hydrogel ink was 3D-printed into the construct with interconnected porous structure with hierarchically organized porosity and a combination of several promising properties. Namely, due to the covalent linkage of the antibacterial peptide to the SF, the scaffold shows potent bactericidal efficiency toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, nanostructured silica components in the 3D-printed composites could intertwine with SF-CM-RGD to support the mechanical properties in the final scaffold and the final osteoconductivity of the scaffold. This study supports the promising properties of 3D-printed silica-SF-based hybrid aerogels constructs for repairing bone defect.

Abstract
Tissue repair and regeneration is an interdisciplinary field focusing on developing bioactive substitutes aimed at restoring pristine functions of damaged, diseased tissues. Biomaterials, intended as those materials compatible with living tissues after in vivo administration, play a pivotal role in this area and they have been successfully studied and developed for several years. Namely, the researches focus on improving bio-inert biomaterials that well integrate in living tissues with no or minimal tissue response, or bioactive materials that influence biological response, stimulating new tissue re-growth. This review aims to gather and introduce, in the context of Italian scientific community, cutting-edge advancements in biomaterial science applied to tissue repair and regeneration. After introducing tissue repair and regeneration, the review focuses on biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterials such as collagen, polysaccharides, silk proteins, polyesters and their derivatives, characterized by the most promising outputs in biomedical science. Attention is pointed out also to those biomaterials exerting peculiar activities, e.g., antibacterial. The regulatory frame applied to pre-clinical and early clinical studies is also outlined by distinguishing between Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products and Medical Devices.

Abstract
Silk fibroin is a protein with intrinsic characteristics that make it a good candidate as a scaffold for tissue engineering. Recent works have enhanced its benefits by adding inorganic phases that interact with silk fibroin in different ways. A systematic review was performed in four databases to study the physicochemical and biological performance of silk fibroin nanocomposites. In the last decade, only 51 articles contained either in vitro cell culture models or in vivo tests. The analysis of such works resulted in their classification into the following scaffold types: particles, mats and textiles, films, hydrogels, sponge-like structures, and mixed conformations. From the physicochemical perspective, the inorganic phase imbued in silk fibroin nanocomposites resulted in better stability and mechanical performance. This review revealed that the inorganic phase may be associated with specific biological responses, such as neovascularisation, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. The study of nanocomposites as tissue engineering scaffolds is a highly active area mostly focused on bone and cartilage regeneration with promising results. Nonetheless, there are still many challenges related to their application in other tissues, a better understanding of the interaction between the inorganic and organic phases, and the associated biological response.

Abstract
This study aimed at evaluate the effects of different aperture-sized type I collagen/silk fibroin (CSF) scaffolds on the proliferation and differentiation of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs). The CSF scaffolds were designed with 3D mapping software Solidworks. Three different aperture-sized scaffolds (CSF1-CSF3) were prepared by low-temperature deposition 3D printing technology. The morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical coherence tomography. The porosity, hydrophilicity and mechanical capacity of the scaffold were detected, respectively. HDPCs (third passage, 1 × 105 cells) were seeded into each scaffold and investigated by SEM, CCK-8, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and HE staining. The CSF scaffolds had porous structures with macropores and micropores. The macropore size of CSF1 to CSF3 was 421 ± 27 μm, 579 ± 36 μm and 707 ± 43 μm, respectively. The porosity was 69.8 ± 2.2%, 80.1 ± 2.8% and 86.5 ± 3.3%, respectively. All these scaffolds enhanced the adhesion and proliferation of HDPCs. The ALP activity in the CSF1 group was higher than that in the CSF3 groups (P < 0.01). HE staining showed HDPCs grew in multilayer within the scaffolds. CSF scaffolds significantly improved the adhesion and ALP activity of HDPCs. CSF scaffolds were promising candidates in dentine-pulp complex regeneration.

Abstract
The goal of a biomaterial is to support the bone tissue regeneration process at the defect site and eventually degrade in situ and get replaced with the newly generated bone tissue. Biomaterials that enhance bone regeneration have a wealth of potential clinical applications from the treatment of non-union fractures to spinal fusion. The use of bone regenerative biomaterials from bioceramics and polymeric components to support bone cell and tissue growth is a longstanding area of interest. Recently, various forms of bone repair materials such as hydrogel, nanofiber scaffolds, and 3D printing composite scaffolds are emerging. Current challenges include the engineering of biomaterials that can match both the mechanical and biological context of bone tissue matrix and support the vascularization of large tissue constructs. Biomaterials with new levels of biofunctionality that attempt to recreate nanoscale topographical, biofactor, and gene delivery cues from the extracellular environment are emerging as interesting candidate bone regenerative biomaterials. This review has been sculptured around a case-by-case basis of current research that is being undertaken in the field of bone regeneration engineering. We will highlight the current progress in the development of physicochemical properties and applications of bone defect repair materials and their perspectives in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Implant materials must mimic natural human bones with biocompatibility, osteoconductivity and mechanical stability to successfully replace damaged or disease-affected bones. Synthetic hydroxyapatite was incorporated with bioglass to mimic natural bones for replacing conventional implant materials which has led to certain toxicity issues. Hence, hydroxyapatite (HAp) are recently gaining applicational importance as they are resembling the structure and function of natural bones. Further, nanosized HAp is under extensive research to utilize them as a potential replacement for traditional implants with several exclusive properties. However, chemical synthesis of nano-HAp exhibited toxicity towards normal and healthy cells. Recently, biogenic Hap synthesis from marine and animal sources are introduced as a next generation implant materials, due to their mineral ion and significant porous architecture mediated biocompatibility and bone bonding ability, compared to synthetic HAp. Thus, the purpose of the paper is to give a bird's eye view into the conventional approaches for fabricating nano-HAp, its limitations and the significance of using marine organisms and marine food wastes as a precursor for biogenic nano-Hap production. Moreover, in vivo and in vitro analyses of marine source derived nano-HAp and their potential biomedical applications were also discussed.

Abstract
Composites materials comprised of biopolymeric aerogel matrices and inorganic nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) fillers have received considerable attention in bone engineering. Although with significant progress in aerogel-based biomaterials, the brittleness and low strengths limit the application. The improvements in toughness and mechanical strength of aerogel-based biomaterials are in great need. In this work, an alkali urea system was used to dissolve, regenerate and gelate cellulose and silk fibroin (SF) to prepare composite aerosol. A dual network structure was shaped in the composite aerosol materials interlaced by sheet-like SF and reticular cellulose wrapping n-HA on the surface. Through uniaxial compression, the density of the composite aerogel material was close to the one of natural bone, and mechanical strength and toughness were high. Our work indicates that the composite aerogel has the same mechanical strength range as cancellous bone when the ratio of cellulose, n-HA and SF being 8:1:1. In vitro cell culture showed HEK-293T cells cultured on composite aerogels had high ability of adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Totally, the presented biodegradable composite aerogel has application potential in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
This review supplies a report on fresh advances in the field of silk fibroin (SF) biopolymer and its blends with biopolymers as new biomaterials. The review also includes a subsection about silk fibroin mixtures with synthetic polymers. Silk fibroin is commonly used to receive biomaterials. However, the materials based on pure polymer present low mechanical parameters, and high enzymatic degradation rate. These properties can be problematic for tissue engineering applications. An increased interest in two- and three-component mixtures and chemically cross-linked materials has been observed due to their improved physico-chemical properties. These materials can be attractive and desirable for both academic, and, industrial attention because they expose improvements in properties required in the biomedical field. The structure, forms, methods of preparation, and some physico-chemical properties of silk fibroin are discussed in this review. Detailed examples are also given from scientific reports and practical experiments. The most common biopolymers: collagen (Coll), chitosan (CTS), alginate (AL), and hyaluronic acid (HA) are discussed as components of silk fibroin-based mixtures. Examples of binary and ternary mixtures, composites with the addition of magnetic particles, hydroxyapatite or titanium dioxide are also included and given. Additionally, the advantages and disadvantages of chemical, physical, and enzymatic cross-linking were demonstrated.
