Abstract
Critical size bone defects cannot heal without aid and current clinical approaches exhibit some limitations, underling the need for novel solutions. Silk fibroin, derived from silkworms, is widely utilized in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to its remarkable properties, making it a promising candidate for bone tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo. However, the clinical translation of silk-based materials requires refinements in 3D architecture, stability, and biomechanical properties. In earlier research, improved mechanical resistance and stability of chemically crosslinked methacrylate silk fibroin (Sil-Ma) sponges over physically crosslinked counterparts were highlighted. Furthermore, the influence of photo-initiator and surfactant concentrations on silk properties was investigated. However, the characterization of sponges with Sil-Ma solution concentrations above 10 % (w/V) was hindered by production optimization challenges, with only cell viability assessed. This study focuses on the evaluation of methacrylate sponges' suitability as temporal bone tissue regeneration scaffolds. Sil-Ma sponge fabrication at a fixed concentration of 20 % (w/V) was optimized and the impact of photo-initiator (LAP) concentrations and surfactant (Tween 80) presence/absence was studied. Their effects on pore formation, silk secondary structure, mechanical properties, and osteogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs were investigated. We demonstrated that, by tuning silk sponges' composition, the optimal combination boosted osteogenic gene expression, offering a strategy to tailor biomechanical properties for effective bone regeneration. Utilizing Design of Experiment (DoE), correlations between sponge composition, porosity, and mechanical properties are established, guiding tailored material outcomes. Additionally, correlation matrices elucidate the microstructure's influence on gene expressions, providing insights for personalized approaches in bone tissue regeneration.

Construction of multileveled and oriented micro/nano channels in Mg doped hydroxyapitite bioceramics and their effect on mimicking mechanical property of cortical bone and biological performance of cancellous bone. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 161:213871.

Abstract
Drawing on the structure and components of natural bone, this study developed Mg-doped hydroxyapatite (Mg-HA) bioceramics, characterized by multileveled and oriented micro/nano channels. These channels play a critical role in ensuring both mechanical and biological properties, making bioceramics suitable for various bone defects, particularly those bearing loads. Bioceramics feature uniformly distributed nanogrooves along the microchannels. The compressive strength or fracture toughness of the Mg-HA bioceramics with micro/nano channels formed by single carbon nanotube/carbon fiber (CNT/CF) (Mg-HA(05-CNT/CF)) are comparable to those of cortical bone, attributed to a combination of strengthened compact walls and microchannels, along with a toughening mechanism involving crack pinning and deflection at nanogroove intersections. The introduction of uniform nanogrooves also enhanced the porosity by 35.4 %, while maintaining high permeability owing to the capillary action in the oriented channels. This leads to superior degradation properties, protein adsorption, and in vivo osteogenesis compared with bioceramics with only microchannels. Mg-HA(05-CNT/CF) exhibited not only high strength and toughness comparable to cortical bone, but also permeability similar to cancellous bone, enhanced cell activity, and excellent osteogenic properties. This study presents a novel approach to address the global challenge of applying HA-based bioceramics to load-bearing bone defects, potentially revolutionizing their application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Post-extraction alveolar bone atrophy greatly hinders the subsequent orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) or implant placement. In this study, we synthesized biodegradable bifunctional bioactive calcium phosphorus nanoflowers (NFs) loaded with abaloparatide (ABL), namely ABL@NFs, to achieve spatiotemporal management for alveolar bone regeneration. The NFs exhibited a porous hierarchical structure, high drug encapsulation efficacy, and desirable biocompatibility. ABL was initially released to recruit stem cells, followed by sustained release of Ca2+ and PO43- for in situ interface mineralization, establishing an osteogenic "biomineralized environment". ABL@NFs successfully restored morphologically and functionally active alveolar bone without affecting OTM. In conclusion, the ABL@NFs demonstrated promising outcomes for bone regeneration under orthodontic condition, which might provide a desirable reference of man-made "bone powder" in the hard tissue regeneration field.

Abstract
Bone defects are a challenge to healthcare systems, as the aging population experiences an increase in bone defects. Despite the development of biomaterials for bone fillers and scaffolds, there is still an unmet need for a bone-mimetic material. Cortical bone is highly anisotropic and displays a biological liquid crystalline (LC) arrangement, giving it exceptional mechanical properties and a distinctive microenvironment. However, the biofunctions, cell-tissue interactions, and molecular mechanisms of cortical bone anisotropic structure are not well understood. Incorporating anisotropic structures in bone-facilitated scaffolds has been recognised as essential for better outcomes. Various approaches have been used to create anisotropic micro/nanostructures, but biomimetic bone anisotropic structures are still in the early stages of development. Most scaffolds lack features at the nanoscale, and there is no comprehensive evaluation of molecular mechanisms or characterisation of calcium secretion. This manuscript provides a review of the latest development of anisotropic designs for osteogenesis and discusses current findings on cell-anisotropic structure interactions. It also emphasises the need for further research. Filling knowledge gaps will enable the fabrication of scaffolds for improved and more controllable bone regeneration.

Abstract
Implant surface topography plays a crucial role in achieving successful implantation. Simple and controllable surface topographical modifications are considered a promising method to accelerate bone osseointegration for biomedical applications. Moreover, comprehension of the mechanism between surface topography and cell osteogenic differentiation is vital for the manipulation of these processes to promote bone tissue regeneration. In this study, we investigated the effects of implant surfaces with various sized hierarchical microgroove/nanopore topographies on cell adhesion, osteogenesis, and their underlying mechanism both in vitro and in vivo. Our findings reveal that a titanium surface with an appropriately sized microgroove/nanopore topography (SLM-1MAH) exhibits the more satisfactory adhesive and osteogenic efficiency than the clinically used sand-blasted, large-grit, and acid-etched (SLA) surface. The underlying molecular mechanism lies in the activation of the integrin α2-PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, where the SLM-1MAH surface increased the protein expressions of integrin α2 (Itga2), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), and phosphorylated serine/threonine kinase Akt (p-Akt) to enhance osteogenesis and osseointegration. Furthermore, the SLM-1MAH surface also displays better osseointegration efficiency with stronger bonding strength than that on the SLA surface. This work provides a novel strategy for implant surface topography design to improve bone-implant osseointegration.

Abstract
In clinical terms, bone grafting currently involves the application of autogenous, allogeneic, or xenogeneic bone grafts, as well as natural or artificially synthesized materials, such as polymers, bioceramics, and other composites. Many of these are associated with limitations. The ideal scaffold for bone tissue engineering should provide mechanical support while promoting osteogenesis, osteoconduction, and even osteoinduction. There are various structural complications and engineering difficulties to be considered. Here, we describe the biomimetic possibilities of the modification of natural or synthetic materials through physical and chemical design to facilitate bone tissue repair. This review summarizes recent progresses in the strategies for constructing biomimetic scaffolds, including ion-functionalized scaffolds, decellularized extracellular matrix scaffolds, and micro- and nano-scale biomimetic scaffold structures, as well as reactive scaffolds induced by physical factors, and other acellular scaffolds. The fabrication techniques for these scaffolds, along with current strategies in clinical bone repair, are described. The developments in each category are discussed in terms of the connection between the scaffold materials and tissue repair, as well as the interactions with endogenous cells. As the advances in bone tissue engineering move toward application in the clinical setting, the demonstration of the therapeutic efficacy of these novel scaffold designs is critical.

Abstract
A process to dealloy a Ti-3Zr-2Sn-3Mo-25Nb (TLM) titanium alloy to create a porous surface structure has been reported in this paper aiming to enhance the bioactivity of the alloy. A simple nanoporous topography on the surface was produced through dealloying the as-solution treated TLM alloy. In contrast, dealloying the as-cold rolled alloy created a hierarchical micro/nanoporous topography. SEM and XPS were performed to characterize the topography and element chemistry of both porous structures. The roughness, hydrophilicity, protein adsorption, cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation were tested. The elements of Zr, Mo, Sn, and Nb were depleted at the nanoporous TLM surface with a diameter of 15.6 ± 2.3 nm. Dissolving the microscale α phase from the alloy surface contributed to the formation of the microscale grooves on the surface. The simple nanoporous topographical surface exhibited hydrophilicity and higher protein adsorption ability, which facilitated the early adhesion of osteoblasts compared with the hierarchical micro/nanoporous surface. On the other hand, the hierarchical micro/nanoporous surface improved cell proliferation and differentiation and still retained the contact guidance function, which implied good bonding for osseointegration. This research revealed the effect of phase composition on the surface morphology of dealloying titanium alloy and the synergistic effect of micron and nanometer topography on the function of osteoblasts. This paper therefore provides insights into the surface topological design of titanium-based biomaterials with improved biocompatibility.

Abstract
Biomaterial scaffolds have been gaining momentum in the past several decades for their potential applications in the area of tissue engineering. They function as three-dimensional porous constructs to temporarily support the attachment of cells, subsequently influencing cell behaviors such as proliferation and differentiation to repair or regenerate defective tissues. In addition, scaffolds can also serve as delivery vehicles to achieve sustained release of encapsulated growth factors or therapeutic agents to further modulate the regeneration process. Given the limitations of current bone grafts used clinically in bone repair, alternatives such as biomaterial scaffolds have emerged as potential bone graft substitutes. This review summarizes how physicochemical properties of biomaterial scaffolds can influence cell behavior and its downstream effect, particularly in its application to bone regeneration.

Abstract
Various strategies have been explored to stimulate new bone formation. These strategies include using angiogenic stimulants in combination with inorganic biomaterials. Neovascularization during the neo-bone formation provides nutrients along with bone-forming minerals. Therefore, it is crucial to design a bone stimulating microenvironment composed of both pro-angiogenic and osteogenic factors. In this respect, human vascular endothelial growth factor (hVEGF) has been shown to promote blood vessel formation and bone formation. Furthermore, in recent years, whitlockite (WH), a novel phase of magnesium-containing calcium phosphate derivatives that exist in our bone tissue, has been synthesized and applied in bone tissue engineering. In this study, our aim is to explore the potential use of hVEGF and WH for bone tissue engineering. Our study demonstrated that hVEGF and a WH microenvironment synergistically stimulated osteogenic commitment of mesenchymal stem cells both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
This review article addresses the various aspects of nano-biomaterials used in or being pursued for the purpose of promoting bone regeneration. In the last decade, significant growth in the fields of polymer sciences, nanotechnology, and biotechnology has resulted in the development of new nano-biomaterials. These are extensively explored as drug delivery carriers and as implantable devices. At the interface of nanomaterials and biological systems, the organic and synthetic worlds have merged over the past two decades, forming a new scientific field incorporating nano-material design for biological applications. For this field to evolve, there is a need to understand the dynamic forces and molecular components that shape these interactions and influence function, while also considering safety. While there is still much to learn about the bio-physicochemical interactions at the interface, we are at a point where pockets of accumulated knowledge can provide a conceptual framework to guide further exploration and inform future product development. This review is intended as a resource for academics, scientists, and physicians working in the field of orthopedics and bone repair.

Abstract
Large-sized bone defect repair is a challenging task in orthopedic surgery. Porous scaffolds with controlled release of growth factors have been investigated for many years. In this study, a hydroxyapatite composite scaffold was prepared by 3D printing at low temperature and coating with layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly. Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) were loaded into the composite scaffolds. The release of dual growth factors was analyzed in vitro. The cell growth and osteogenic differentiation were assessed by culturing MC3T3-E1 cells onto the scaffolds. In an established rabbit model of critical-sized calvarial defect (15 mm in diameter), the osteogenic and angiogenic properties after implantation of scaffolds were evaluated by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and stained sections. Our results showed that the scaffolds possessed well-designed porous structure and could release two growth factors in a sustained way. The micro-CT analysis showed that the scaffolds with BMP-2/VEGF could accelerate new bone formation. Findings of immunochemical staining of collagen type I and lectin indicated that better osteogenic and angiogenic properties induced by BMP-2 and VEGF. These results suggested that the novel composite scaffolds combined with BMP-2/VEGF had both osteogenic and angiogenic abilities which could enhance new bone formation with good quality. Thus, the combination of 3D printed scaffolds loaded with BMP-2/VEGF might provide a potential solution for bone repair and regeneration in clinical applications.

[PMID: 31306826 PMCID: PMC6663598 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2019.119334] [Citation(s) in RCA: 116] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2019] [Revised: 06/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/03/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Bone tissue engineering utilizes three critical elements - cells, scaffolds, and bioactive factors - to recapitulate the bone tissue microenvironment, inducing the formation of new bone. Recent advances in materials development have enabled the production of scaffolds that more effectively mimic the hierarchical features of bone matrix, ranging from molecular composition to nano/micro-scale biochemical and physical features. This review summarizes recent advances within the field in utilizing these features of native bone to guide the hierarchical design of materials and scaffolds. Biomimetic strategies discussed in this review cover several levels of hierarchical design, including the development of element-doped compositions of bioceramics, the usage of molecular templates for in vitro biomineralization at the nanoscale, the fabrication of biomimetic scaffold architecture at the micro- and nanoscale, and the application of external physical stimuli at the macroscale to regulate bone growth. Developments at each level are discussed with an emphasis on their in vitro and in vivo outcomes in promoting osteogenic tissue development. Ultimately, these hierarchically designed scaffolds can complement or even replace the usage of cells and biological elements, which present clinical and regulatory barriers to translation. As the field progresses ever closer to clinical translation, the creation of viable therapies will thus benefit from further development of hierarchically designed materials and scaffolds.

Abstract
Interconnected porous scaffolds are widely used in the applications of tissue repair and regeneration. Sustained local delivery of drugs and growth factors around the implanted scaffolds could accelerate the growth of cells and contribute to the regeneration of damaged tissues. In this study, porous hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds were prepared through 3D bio-printing for bone tissue engineering and were subsequently coated with chitosan and sodium hyaluronate by layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition. It was found that the LBL coating on the porous scaffolds could reduce the swelling ratio of scaffolds in size and increase the compressive strength by about 70%. The degradation rate of the scaffolds slowed down due to the LBL coating. Rhodamine B (RHB) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were chosen as model drugs in order to understand the loading and release behaviors of the scaffolds. Small RHB molecules could penetrate deep into the LBL coated scaffolds and released a little slower than that without coating. Meanwhile, large BSA molecules showed faster release rate compared to that without coating. In addition, there was no significant cytotoxicity effect of these composite scaffolds towards MC-3T3E1 cells and the scaffolds provided proper conditions for cell adhesion and proliferation, indicating that the printed hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds exhibit a great potential in hard tissue engineering as a sustained delivery system.

Abstract
Successful osseointegration of orthopaedic and orthodontic implants is dependent on a competition between osteogenesis and bacterial contamination on the implant-tissue interface. Previously, by taking advantage of the highly interactive capabilities of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), we effectively introduced an antimicrobial effect to metal implant materials using an AgNP/poly(dl-lactic- co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) coating. Although electrical forces have been shown to promote osteogenesis, creating practical materials and devices capable of harnessing these forces to induce bone regeneration remains challenging. Here, we applied galvanic reduction-oxidation (redox) principles to engineer a nanoscale galvanic redox system between AgNPs and 316L stainless steel alloy (316L-SA). Characterized by scanning electron microscopy , energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, Kelvin probe force microscopy, and contact angle measurement, the surface properties of the yield AgNP/PLGA-coated 316L-SA (SNPSA) material presented a significantly increased positive surface potential, hydrophilicity, surface fractional polarity, and surface electron accepting/donating index. Importantly, in addition to its bactericidal property, SNPSA's surface demonstrated a novel osteogenic bioactivity by promoting peri-implant bone growth. This is the first report describing the conversion of a normally deleterious galvanic redox reaction into a biologically beneficial function on a biomedical metal material. Overall, this study details an innovative strategy to design multifunctional biomaterials using a controlled galvanic redox reaction, which has broad applications in material development and clinical practice.

Abstract
Background: Collagen is a basic component of the periodontium and plays an important role in the function of the periodontal unit. Therefore, coating with collagen/gelatin has been applied to enable dental implants to positively interact with peri-implant tissues. Although the micro/nanoscale topography is an important property of the surface of dental implants, smaller collagen/gelatin surface patterns have not been sufficiently developed. Furthermore, only few reports on the behavior of cells on gelatin surfaces with different patterns and sizes exist. In this study, we developed micro/nanometer-scaled gelatin surfaces using genipin crosslinking, with the aim of understanding the use of patterning in surface modification of dental implants. Results: Grooves, holes, and pillars, with widths or diameters of 2 µm, 1 µm, or 500 nm were fabricated using a combination of molding and genipin crosslinking of gelatin. The stability of the different gelatin patterns could be controlled by the degree of genipin crosslinking. The gelatin patterns at 20 mM concentration of genipin and 41% crosslinking maintained a stable, patterned shape for at least 14 days in a cell culture medium. A cell morphology study showed that the cells on groves were aligned along the direction of the grooves. In contrast, the cells on pillars and holes exhibited randomly elongated filopodia. The vinculin spots of the cells were observed on the top of ridges and pillars or the upper surface of holes. The results of a cell attachment assay showed that the number of surface-attached cells increased with increasing patterning of the gelatin surface. Unlike the cell attachment assay, the results of a cell proliferation assay showed that Saos-2 cells prefer grooves with diameters of approximately 2 µm and 1 µm and pillars with diameters of 1 µm and heights of 500 nm. The number of cells on pillars with heights of 2 µm was larger than those of the other gelatin surface patterns tested. Conclusion: These data support that a detailed design of the gelatin surface pattern can control both cell attachment and proliferation of Saos-2 cells. Thus, gelatin surfaces patterned using genipin crosslinking are now an available option for biocompatible material patterning.

Abstract
In addition to providing maneuverability, electrospun nanofibrous meshes can make excellent supports for constructing flexible cell sheets to regulate cell behavior by nanofiber features. With the target of bone regeneration, herein composite nanofibers with two different fiber arrangements (nestlike, random) were electrospun from a blend solution containing poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and gelatin (1:1 in weight ratio). Unlike the non-woven morphology in a random nanofibrous mesh, PLLA/gelatin composite nanofibers in the nestlike nanofibrous mesh displayed both non-woven and parallel morphologies. Both kinds of nanofibrous mesh were ∼50 μm thick as-prepared, and shrank to ∼30 μm after seeding with bone mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs). After 7 days of in vitro culture, cell sheets could form on both meshes (CSM) and on the culture plate. It was found that application of nanofibrous mesh promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSC sheets compared with the control. The nestlike mesh displayed slight superiority over the random mesh in enhancing osteogenic differentiation, but their different fiber arrangements did not cause much difference in cell proliferation. Three-dimensional multi-layered CSM constructs were built by stacking four mono-layered CSMs together. The CSM constructs (based on a nestlike or random nanofibrous mesh) were incubated in vitro for 3 days before being implanted into rat cranial defects. In comparison with the control group, there was significant formation of new calcified bone in both CSM construct-filled groups at 12 weeks' post-operation. The nestlike group showed slightly better bone healing (based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis) than the random group, while showing insignificant differences. We showed that the concept of using a three-dimensional multi-layered CSM construct in enhancing bone regeneration was feasible. Future studies should take more nanofiber features (e.g. bioactive components) into account to further enhance osteogenesis.

Abstract
Cellulose-nanofibrils (CNFs) enriched gelatine (GEL) scaffolds were fabricated in-situ by the combined freeze-thawing process and carbodiimide crosslinking chemistry. The original- and variously surface anionised CNFs (carboxylated/CNF-COOH/, and phosphonated with 3-AminoPropylphosphoric Acid/CNF-COOH-ApA/) were used in order to tune the scaffolds' biomimetic structure towards a more intensive mineralization process. The pore size reduction (from 208±35μm to 91±35μm) after 50% v/v of CNFs addition to GEL was identified, while separated pore-walls' alignment vs. shorter, dense and elongated pores are observed when using 80% v/v of original-CNFs vs. anionised-CNFs, all of them possessed osteoid-like compressive strength (0.025-0.40MPa) and elasticity (0.04-0.15MPa). While randomly distributed Ca2+-deficient hydroxyapatite/HAp/(Ca/P≈1.4) aggregates were identified in the case of original-CNF prevalent scaffolds after four weeks of incubation in SBF, the more uniform and intensified deposition with HAp-like (Ca/P≈1.69) structures were established using CNF-COOH-Apa. The growth of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) was observed on all CNF-containing scaffolds, resulting in more extensive Ca2+ deposition compared to the positive control or pure GEL scaffold. Among them, the scaffold prepared with the 50% v/v CNF-COOH-ApA showed significantly increased mineralization kinetic as well as the capacity for bone-like patterning in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Bioprinting technology shows potential in tissue engineering for the fabrication of scaffolds, cells, tissues and organs reproducibly and with high accuracy. Bioprinting technologies are mainly divided into three categories, inkjet-based bioprinting, pressure-assisted bioprinting and laser-assisted bioprinting, based on their underlying printing principles. These various printing technologies have their advantages and limitations. Bioprinting utilizes biomaterials, cells or cell factors as a "bioink" to fabricate prospective tissue structures. Biomaterial parameters such as biocompatibility, cell viability and the cellular microenvironment strongly influence the printed product. Various printing technologies have been investigated, and great progress has been made in printing various types of tissue, including vasculature, heart, bone, cartilage, skin and liver. This review introduces basic principles and key aspects of some frequently used printing technologies. We focus on recent advances in three-dimensional printing applications, current challenges and future directions.
