Moll M, Scheurle A, Nawaz Q, Walker T, Kunisch E, Renkawitz T, Boccaccini AR, Westhauser F. Osteogenic and angiogenic potential of molybdenum-containing mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles: An ionic approach to bone tissue engineering. J Trace Elem Med Biol 2024; 86:127518. [PMID: 39236559 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtemb.2024.127518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2024] [Revised: 07/31/2024] [Accepted: 08/29/2024] [Indexed: 09/07/2024]
Abstract
Biomaterials intended for application in bone tissue engineering (BTE) ideally stimulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis simultaneously, as both mechanisms are of critical importance for successful bone regeneration. Mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBGNs) can be tailored towards specific biological needs, for example by addition of ions like Molybdenum (Mo). While Mo has been shown to enhance osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) as well as their ability to form and mature a primitive osseous extracellular matrix (ECM), there are contradictory findings regarding its impact on angiogenesis. In this study, the effects of Mo-MBGNs (mol%: 70 SiO2, 25 CaO, 5 MoO3) on viability, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, ECM formation and angiogenic response of BMSCs were compared to undoped MBGNs (in mol%: 70 SiO2, 30 CaO) and a control group of BMSCs. Furthermore, a human umbilical vein endothelial cells tube formation assay and a chorioallantoic membrane-assay using fertilized chicken eggs were used to analyze angiogenic properties. Mo-MBGNs were cytocompatible and promoted the proliferation of BMSCs. Furthermore, Mo-MBGNs showed promising osteogenic properties as they enhanced osteogenic differentiation, ECM formation and maturation as well as the gene expression and protein production of relevant osteogenic factors in BMSCs. However, despite the promising outcome on osteogenic properties, the addition of Mo to MBGNs resulted in anti-angiogenic effects. Due to the high relevance of vascularization in-vivo, the anti-angiogenic properties of Mo-MBGNs might hamper their osteogenic properties and therefore might restrict their performance in BTE applications. These limitations can be overcome by the addition of ions with distinct pro-angiogenic properties to the Mo-MBGNs-composition. Due to their promising osteogenic properties, Mo-MBGNs constitute a suitable basis for further research in the field of ionic (growth factor free) BTE.

Abstract
Bioactive glass has been employed in several medical applications since its inception in 1969. The compositions of these materials have been investigated extensively with emphasis on glass network formers, therapeutic transition metals, and glass network modifiers. Through these experiments, several commercial and experimental compositions have been developed with varying chemical durability, induced physiological responses, and hydroxyapatite forming abilities. In many of these studies, the concentrations of each alkali and alkaline earth element have been altered to monitor changes in structure and biological response. This review aims to discuss the impact of each alkali and alkaline earth element on the structure, processing, and biological effects of bioactive glass. We explore critical questions regarding these elements from both a glass science and biological perspective. Should elements with little biological impact be included? Are alkali free bioactive glasses more promising for greater biological responses? Does this mixed alkali effect show increased degradation rates and should it be employed for optimized dissolution? Each of these questions along with others are evaluated comprehensively and discussed in the final section where guidance for compositional design is provided.

Abstract
Bone is a highly dynamic connective tissue that provides structural support, locomotion and acts as a shield for many vital organs from damage. Bone inherits the ability to heal after non-severe injury. In case of severe bone abnormalities due to trauma, infections, genetic disorders and tumors, there is a demand for a scaffold that can enhance bone formation and regenerate the lost bone tissue. In this study, a 3D collagen scaffold (CS) was functionalized and assessed under in vitro and in vivo conditions. For this, a collagen scaffold coated with hydroxyapatite (Ap-CS) was developed and loaded with a peptide LL-37. The physico-chemical characterisation confirmed the hydroxyapatite coating on the outer and inner surfaces of Ap-CS. In vitro studies confirmed that LL-37 loaded Ap-CS promotes osteogenic differentiation of human osteosarcoma cells without showing significant cytotoxicity. The efficacy of the LL-37 loaded Ap-CS for bone regeneration was evaluated at 4 and 12 weeks post-implantation by histopathological and micro-CT analysis in rabbit femur defect model. The implanted LL-37 loaded Ap-CS facilitated the new bone formation at 4 weeks compared with Ap-CS without LL-37. The LL-37 loaded Ap-CS incorporating apatite and peptide LL-37 would be useful as a multifunctional scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in the management of patients with oral cancer, maxillofacial reconstruction after ablative surgery remains a clinical challenge. In bone tissue engineering, biofabrication strategies have been proposed as promising alternatives to solve issues associated with current therapies and to produce bone substitutes that mimic both the structure and function of native bone. Among them, laser-assisted bioprinting (LAB) has emerged as a relevant biofabrication method to print living cells and biomaterials with micrometric resolution onto a receiving substrate, also called 'biopaper'. Recent studies have demonstrated the benefits of prevascularization using LAB to promote vascularization and bone regeneration, but mechanical and biological optimization of the biopaper are needed. The aim of this study was to apply gelatin-sheet fabrication process to the development of a novel biopaper able to support prevascularization organized by LAB for bone tissue engineering applications. Gelatin-based sheets incorporating bioactive glasses (BGs) were produced using various freezing methods and crosslinking (CL) parameters. The different formulations were characterized in terms of microstructural, physical, mechanical, and biological properties in monoculture and coculture. Based on multi-criteria analysis, a rank scoring method was used to identify the most relevant formulations. The selected biopaper underwent additional characterization regarding its ability to support mineralization and vasculogenesis, its bioactivity potential andin vivodegradability. The biopaper 'Gel5wt% BG1wt%-slow freezing-CL160 °C 24 h' was selected as the best candidate, due to its suitable properties including high porosity (91.69 ± 1.55%), swelling ratio (91.61 ± 0.60%), Young modulus (3.97 × 104± 0.97 × 104Pa) but also its great cytocompatibility, osteogenesis and bioactivity properties. The preorganization of human umbilical vein endothelial cell using LAB onto this new biopaper led to the formation of microvascular networks. This biopaper was also shown to be compatible with 3D-molding and 3D-stacking strategies. This work allowed the development of a novel biopaper adapted to LAB with great potential for vascularized bone biofabrication.

Abstract
Despite their long history of application in orthopedics, the osteogenic and angiogenic properties as well as the cytocompatibility and protein adsorption of the 45S5- (in wt%: 45.0 SiO2, 24.5 Na2O, 24.5 CaO, 6.0 P2O5) and S53P4- (in wt%: 53.0 SiO2, 23.0 Na2O, 20.0 CaO, 4.0 P2O5) bioactive glass (BG) compositions have not yet been directly compared in one and the same experimental setting. In this study, the influence of morphologically equal granules of both BGs on proliferation, viability, osteogenic differentiation and angiogenic response of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) was assessed. Furthermore, their impact on vascular tube formation and adsorption of relevant proteins was evaluated. Both BGs showed excellent cytocompatibility and stimulated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The 45S5-BG showed enhanced stimulation of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) gene expression and protein production compared to S53P4-BG. While gene expression and protein production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were stimulated, both BGs had only limited influence on tubular network formation. 45S5-BG adsorbed a higher portion of proteins, namely BMP2 and VEGF, on its surface. In conclusion, both BGs show favorable properties with slight advantages for 45S5-BG. Since protein adsorption on BG surfaces is important for their biological performance, the composition of the proteome formed by osteogenic cells cultured on BGs should be analyzed in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that are responsible for BG-mediated stimulation of osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bioactive glass, an innovative alloplastic material utilizing a matrix of silica particles combined with calcium and phosphorus, has been widely employed for the regeneration of bony defects due to its bone-forming capabilities and biocompatibility. Nevertheless, it comes with several drawbacks, including a slow degradation rate, low mechanical strength, and susceptibility to fractures. To address these issues, the present research was done to develop and characterize a novel bioactive glass incorporating gadolinium (Gd) and copper (Cu). METHODS The bioactive glass doped with Gd and Cu were synthesized and subjected to characterization through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and attenuated total reflectance-infrared (ATR-IR) analysis. RESULTS The bioactive glass, enriched with Gd and Cu, underwent analysis using ATR-IR spectroscopy, XRD, and SEM. ATR-IR revealed characteristic silicate bands, while SEM indicated the presence of particles larger than 4 μm. XRD analysis identified the formation of Na2Ca4(PO4)2SiO4 (Silicorhenatite), Na2Ca2Si3O9 (Combeite), and wollastonite (calcium inosilicate mineral; CaSiO3). The crystalline nature of these compounds contributed to the favorable mechanical properties of the bioactive glass. CONCLUSION In summary, the creation of the innovative Gd-Cu-incorporated bioactive glass demonstrates favorable mechanical characteristics, suggesting significant promise for augmenting bone regeneration.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) has great influence in many physiological or pathological processes in organisms. In the site of bone defects, the overproduced ROS significantly affects the dynamic balance process of bone regeneration. Many antioxidative organic and inorganic antioxidants showed good osteogenic ability, which has been widely used for bone repair. It is of great significance to summarize the antioxidative bone repair materials (ABRMs) to provide guidance for the future design and preparation of osteogenic materials with antioxidative function. Here, this review introduced the major research direction of ABRM at present in nanoscale, 2-dimensional coating, and 3-dimensional scaffolds. Moreover, the referring main active substances and antioxidative properties were classified, and the positive roles of antioxidative materials for bone repair have also been clearly summarized in signaling pathways, antioxidant enzymes, cellular responses and animal levels.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are widely used in orthopedic and dental applications for their ability to stimulate endogenous bone formation and regeneration. BG applications more recently broadened to include soft tissue conditions, based on their ability to stimulate angiogenesis, soft tissue regeneration, and wound healing. Sol-gel synthesis has helped facilitate this expansion, allowing formulators to tailor the morphological characteristics of the BG matrix. The effectiveness of BGs in skin wound healing is viewed as a gateway for their use as both a therapeutic and drug delivery platform in other soft tissue applications, notably gastrointestinal (GI) applications, which form the focus of this review. Recent changes in international guidelines for GI conditions shifted clinical objectives from symptom management to mucosal wound healing. The additional scrutiny of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) safety, increasing burden of disease, and financial costs associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) open new clinical possibilities for BG. This narrative literature review intersects materials engineering, formulation science, and clinical practice, setting it apart from prior literature. Broadly, current evidence for BG applications in GI conditions is sparse and under-developed, which this review directly addresses. It explores and synthesizes evidence that supports the potential use of sol-gel-derived BG for the efficacious treatment of soft tissue applications, with specific reference to GI conditions. An overview with comparative analysis of current BG synthesis techniques and associated challenges is presented, and influences of composition, biologically active ions, and morphological characteristics in soft tissue applications are explored. To contextualize this, sol-gel-derived BGs are proposed as a dual, tailorable therapeutic and drug delivery platform for upper and lower GI conditions. Future directions for this largely untapped area of translational research are also proposed, based on extant literature.

Abstract
Background Periodontal regeneration aims for the three-dimensional reconstruction of bone defects, and over the years, bone grafts with or without barrier membranes have provided us with promising results. Particulate bone grafts can be classified according to the source of procurement as autografts, allografts, xenografts, and alloplasts. Bioglass, an innovative alloplast that uses silica particles as a matrix incorporated with calcium and phosphorus, has been extensively used as a propitious material for bone regeneration owing to its inherent osteogenic ability and biocompatibility but presents with various disadvantages such as slow degradation rate, low mechanical strength, and fracture resistance. A novel silver (Ag)-gadolinium (Gd)-doped bioglass was fabricated to improve the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and osteogenic ability when compared with bioglass (control). Materials and methods The Ag- and Gd-doped bioglass network was prepared and assessed for the morphological and structural properties by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-infrared (IR). The cytotoxicity of Gd and Ag-doped bioglass was assessed using the MG63 cell line through the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) assay at various concentrations and the absorbance of the solution was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader. The osteogenic ability of the material was assessed by alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen estimation. Results ATR-IR spectroscopy, SEM, and XRD were used to examine the bioglass network doped with Gd and Ag. ATR-IR exhibited classic silicate bands, whereas SEM indicated particles bigger than 5 μm. XRD analysis revealed the production of Na2Ca2Si3O9, Na2Ca4(PO4)2SiO4, and wollastonite. The excellent crystallinity of Na2Ca2Si3O9 provided the bioglass network with good mechanical characteristics. The Gd-Ag-bioglass did not exhibit any toxicity towards the living cells at increasing concentrations from 12.5 µg to 100 µg. The alkaline phosphatase activity was increased by 10% and the collagen estimation remained consistent with bioglass (control). Conclusion In conclusion, the fabrication of the novel Gd-Ag-doped bioglass shows good cytocompatibility and osteogenic ability and shows great potential to enhance bone regeneration.

Abstract
The treatment for diabetic ulcers still remains a big clinic challenge owing to the adverse repair microenvironment. Bioactive glasses (BGs) play an important role in the late stages of healing due to their ability to promote vascularization and collagen fiber deposition, but fail to improve infection and oxidative stress in the early stage.Therefore, it is critical to develop a material involved in regulating the whole healing phases. In this work, BGs-based nanozymes (MnO2 @PDA-BGs) with antioxidation, antibacterial and pro-healing abilities are synthesized by the redox deposition of MnO2 on mesoporous BGs. Afterward, cryogel with the interconnected macropore structure is fabricated by the polymerization of methacrylate anhydride gelatin (GelMA) at -20 °C. MnO2 @PDA-BGs are loaded into the cryogel to obtain nanocomposite cryogel (MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel) with multiple enzymes-like- activities to eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Besides, MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel has intensive peroxidase-like activity under acidic condition and near infrared photothermal responsiveness to achieve excellent antibacterial performance. Cells experiments demonstrate that MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel recruits L929s and promotes their proliferation. Furthermore, MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel eliminates intracellular overexpressed ROS and maintains the viability of L929s. Animal experiments confirm that MnO2 @PDA-BGs/Gel promotes wound healing and avoided scarring by killing bacteria, reversing inflammation, promoting vascularization, and improving the deposition of collagen III.

Experimental Early Stimulation of Bone Tissue Neo-Formation for Critical Size Elimination Defects in the Maxillofacial Region. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4232. [PMID: 37959911 PMCID: PMC10650047 DOI: 10.3390/polym15214232] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
A biomaterial is proposed for closing extensive bone defects in the maxillofacial region. The composition of the biomaterial includes high-molecular chitosan, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronate, heparin, alginate, and inorganic nanostructured hydroxyapatite. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate morphological and histological early signs of reconstruction of a bone cavity of critical size. The studies were carried out on 84 white female rats weighing 200-250 g. The study group consisted of 84 animals in total, 40 in the experimental group and 44 in the control group. In all animals, three-walled bone defects measuring 0.5 × 0.4 × 0.5 cm3 were applied subperiosteally in the region of the angle of the lower jaw and filled in the experimental group using lyophilized gel mass of chitosan-alginate-hydroxyapatite (CH-SA-HA). In control animals, the bone cavities were filled with their own blood clots after bone trepanation and bleeding. The periods for monitoring bone regeneration were 3, 5, and 7 days and 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 10 weeks. The control of bone regeneration was carried out using multiple morphological and histological analyses. Results showed that the following process is an obligatory process and is accompanied by the binding and release of angiogenic implantation: the chitosan construct actively replaced early-stage defects with the formation of full-fledged new bone tissue compared to the control group. By the 7th day, morphological analysis showed that the formation of spongy bone tissue could be seen. After 2 weeks, there was a pronounced increase in bone volume (p < 0.01), and at 6 weeks after surgical intervention, the closure of the defect was 70-80%; after 8 weeks, it was 100% without violation of bone morphology with a high degree of mineralization. Thus, the use of modified chitosan after filling eliminates bone defects of critical size in the maxillofacial region, revealing early signs of bone regeneration, and serves as a promising material in reconstructive dentistry.

Mesoporous Bioactive Glass-Incorporated Injectable Strontium-Containing Calcium Phosphate Cement Enhanced Osteoconductivity in a Critical-Sized Metaphyseal Defect in Osteoporotic Rats. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1203. [PMID: 37892933 PMCID: PMC10604136 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10101203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo bone formation behavior of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles incorporated in a pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100G10) was studied in a metaphyseal fracture-defect model in ovariectomized rats and compared to a plain pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100) and control (empty defect) group, respectively. In vitro testing showed good cytocompatibility on human preosteoblasts and ongoing dissolution of the MBG component. Neither the released strontium nor the BMG particles from the pS100G10 had a negative influence on cell viability. Forty-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three different treatment groups: (1) pS100 (n = 15), (2) pS100G10 (n = 15), and (3) empty defect (n = 15). Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy and multi-deficient diet, a 4 mm wedge-shaped fracture-defect was created at the metaphyseal area of the left femur in all animals. The originated fracture-defect was substituted with pS100 or pS100G10 or left empty. After six weeks, histomorphometrical analysis revealed a statistically significant higher bone volume/tissue volume ratio in the pS100G10 group compared to the pS100 (p = 0.03) and empty defect groups (p = 0.0001), indicating enhanced osteoconductivity with the incorporation of MBG. Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant decrease in the RANKL/OPG ratio for pS100 (p = 0.004) and pS100G10 (p = 0.003) compared to the empty defect group. pS100G10 showed a statistically higher expression of BMP-2. In addition, a statistically significant higher gene expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin, collagen1a1, collagen10a1 with a simultaneous decrease in RANKL, and carbonic anhydrase was seen in the pS100 and pS100G10 groups compared to the empty defect group. Mass spectrometric imaging by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) showed the release of Sr2+ ions from both pS100 and pS100G10, with a gradient into the interface region. ToF-SIMS imaging also revealed that resorption of the MBG particles allowed for new bone formation in cement pores. In summary, the current work shows better bone formation of the injectable pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement with incorporated mesoporous bioactive glass compared to the bioactive-free bone cement and empty defects and can be considered for clinical application for osteopenic fracture defects in the future.

Abstract
Biocompatible fibrous scaffold containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), 70S30C bioactive glass (BG), silver (Ag) nanoparticles and curcumin (Cur) was fabricated through electrospinning method. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were employed to investigate the morphological characteristics of the scaffolds. In addition, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, and contact angle were studied as criteria for evaluating physical properties of the scaffolds. Tensile strength was reported to be 0.971 ± 0.093 MPa. Also, the viability of fibroblasts after 7 days of cell culture was 93.58 ± 1.36 %. The antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was illustrated using inhibition zones of 13.12 ± 0.69 and 14.21 ± 1.37 mm, respectively. Histological results revealed that tissue regeneration after 14 days of surgery was much higher for the dressing group compared to the blank group. According to the obtained results, the authors introduce the PVA-BG-Ag-Cur scaffold as a promising candidate for skin tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Synthetic bone grafting materials play a significant role in various medical applications involving bone regeneration and repair. Their ability to mimic the properties of natural bone and promote the healing process has contributed to their growing relevance. While calcium-phosphates and their composites with various polymers and biopolymers are widely used in clinical and experimental research, the diverse range of available polymer-based materials poses challenges in selecting the most suitable grafts for successful bone repair. This review aims to address the fundamental issues of bone biology and regeneration while providing a clear perspective on the principles guiding the development of synthetic materials. In this study, we delve into the basic principles underlying the creation of synthetic bone composites and explore the mechanisms of formation for biologically important complexes and structures associated with the various constituent parts of these materials. Additionally, we offer comprehensive information on the application of biologically active substances to enhance the properties and bioactivity of synthetic bone grafting materials. By presenting these insights, our review enables a deeper understanding of the regeneration processes facilitated by the application of synthetic bone composites.

Abstract
This comprehensive review provides an in-depth analysis of the use of biomaterials in the processes of guided tissue and bone regeneration, and their indispensable role in dental therapeutic interventions. These interventions serve the critical function of restoring both structural integrity and functionality to the dentition that has been lost or damaged. The basis for this review is laid through the exploration of various relevant scientific databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of science and MEDLINE. From a meticulous selection, relevant literature was chosen. This review commences by examining the different types of membranes used in guided bone regeneration procedures and the spectrum of biomaterials employed in these operations. It then explores the manufacturing technologies for the scaffold, delving into their significant impact on tissue and bone regenerations. At the core of this review is the method of guided bone regeneration, which is a crucial technique for counteracting bone loss induced by tooth extraction or periodontal disease. The discussion advances by underscoring the latest innovations and strategies in the field of tissue regeneration. One key observation is the critical role that membranes play in guided reconstruction; they serve as a barrier, preventing the entry of non-ossifying cells, thereby promoting the successful growth and regeneration of bone and tissue. By reviewing the existing literature on biomaterials, membranes, and scaffold manufacturing technologies, this paper illustrates the vast potential for innovation and growth within the field of dental therapeutic interventions, particularly in guided tissue and bone regeneration.

Abstract
Mandibular tissue engineering aims to develop synthetic substitutes for the regeneration of critical size defects (CSD) caused by a variety of events, including tumor surgery and post-traumatic resections. Currently, the gold standard clinical treatment of mandibular resections (i.e., autologous fibular flap) has many drawbacks, driving research efforts toward scaffold design and fabrication by additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. Once implanted, the scaffold acts as a support for native tissue and facilitates processes that contribute to its regeneration, such as cells infiltration, matrix deposition and angiogenesis. However, to fulfil these functions, scaffolds must provide bioactivity by mimicking natural properties of the mandible in terms of structure, composition and mechanical behavior. This review aims to present the state of the art of scaffolds made with AM techniques that are specifically employed in mandibular tissue engineering applications. Biomaterials chemical composition and scaffold structural properties are deeply discussed, along with strategies to promote osteogenesis (i.e., delivery of biomolecules, incorporation of stem cells, and approaches to induce vascularization in the constructs). Finally, a comparison of in vivo studies is made by taking into consideration the amount of new bone formation (NB), the CSD dimensions, and the animal model.

Abstract
A novel organic-inorganic hybrid, based on SiO2-CaO-ZnO bioactive glass (BG) and polycaprolactone (PCL), associating the highly bioactive and versatile bioactive glass with clinically established PCL was examined. The BG-PCL hybrid is obtained by acid-catalyzed silica sol-gel process inside PCL solution either by direct or indirect printing. Apatite-formation tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) confirm the ion release along with the hybrid's bone-like apatite forming. Kinetics differ significantly between directly and indirectly printed scaffolds, the former requiring longer periods to degrade, while the latter demonstrates faster calcium phosphate (CaP) formation. Remarkably, Zn diffusion and accumulation are observed at the surface within the newly formed active CaP layer. Zn release is found to be dependent on printing method and immersion medium. Investigation of BG at the atomic scale reveals the ambivalent role of Zn, capable of acting both as a network modifier and as a network former linking the BG silicate network. In addition, hMSCs viability assay proves no cytotoxicity of the Zn hybrid. LIVE/DEAD staining demonstrated excellent cell viability and proliferation for over seven weeks. Overall, this hybrid material either non-doped or doped with a metal trace element is a promising candidate to be translated to clinical applications for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and recurrent intestinal disease of unknown aetiology, and the few treatments approved for UC have serious side effects. In this study, a new type of uniformly monodispersed calcium-enhanced radial mesoporous micro-nano bioactive glass (HCa-MBG) was prepared for UC treatment. We established cellular and rat UC models to explore the effects and mechanism of HCa-MBG and traditional BGs (45S5, 58S) on UC. The results showed that BGs significantly reduced the cellular expression of several inflammatory factors, such as IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and NO. In the animal experiments, BGs were shown to repair the DSS-damaged colonic mucosa. Moreover, BGs downregulated the mRNA levels of the inflammatory factors IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and iNOS, which were stimulated by DSS. BGs were also found to manage the expression of key proteins in NF-kB signal pathway. However, HCa-MBG was more effective than traditional BGs in terms of improving UC clinical manifestations and reducing the expression of inflammatory factors in rats. This study confirmed for the first time that BGs can be used as an adjuvant drug in UC treatment, thereby preventing UC progression.

Abstract
The regeneration of biological tissues in medicine is challenging, and 3D bioprinting offers an innovative way to create functional multicellular tissues. One common way in bioprinting is bioink, which is one type of the cell-loaded hydrogel. For clinical application, however, the bioprinting still suffers from satisfactory performance, e.g., in vascularization, effective antibacterial, immunomodulation, and regulation of collagen deposition. Many studies incorporated different bioactive materials into the 3D-printed scaffolds to optimize the bioprinting. Here, we reviewed a variety of additives added to the 3D bioprinting hydrogel. The underlying mechanisms and methodology for biological regeneration are important and will provide a useful basis for future research.

Abstract
Composite biomaterials that combine osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties are a promising approach for bone tissue engineering (BTE) since they stimulate osteogenesis while mimicking extracellular matrix (ECM) morphology. In this context, the aim of the present research was to produce polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers containing mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) 80S15 nanoparticles. These composite materials were produced by the electrospinning technique. Design of experiments (DOE) was used to estimate the optimal electrospinning parameters to reduce average fiber diameter. The polymeric matrices were thermally crosslinked under different conditions, and the fibers' morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Evaluation of the mechanical properties of nanofibrous mats revealed a dependence on thermal crosslinking parameters and on the presence of MBG 80S15 particles inside the polymeric fibers. Degradation tests indicated that the presence of MBG led to a faster degradation of nanofibrous mats and to a higher swelling capacity. The assessment of in vitro bioactivity in simulated body fluid (SBF) was performed using MBG pellets and PVP/MBG (1:1) composites to assess if the bioactive properties of MBG 80S15 were kept when it was incorporated into PVP nanofibers. FTIR and XRD analysis along with SEM-EDS results indicated that a hydroxy-carbonate apatite (HCA) layer formed on the surface of MBG pellets and nanofibrous webs after soaking in SBF over different time periods. In general, the materials revealed no cytotoxic effects on the Saos-2 cell line. The overall results for the materials produced show the potential of the composites to be used in BTE.

Abstract
In this study, three-dimensional (3D) bioactive glass/lignocellulose (BG/cellulose) composite scaffolds were successfully fabricated by the 3D-bioprinting technique with N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) as the ink solvent. The physical structure, morphology, mechanical properties, hydroxyapatite growth and cell response to the prepared BG/cellulose scaffolds were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the BG/cellulose scaffolds had uniform macropores of less than 400 μm with very rough surfaces. Such BG/cellulose scaffolds have excellent mechanical performance to resist compressive force in comparison with pure cellulose scaffolds and satisfy the strength requirement of human trabecular bone (2-12 MPa). Furthermore, BG significantly increased the excellent hydroxyapatite-forming capability of the cellulose scaffolds as indicated by the mineralization of the scaffolds in simulated body fluid (SBF). The BG/cellulose scaffolds showed low cytotoxicity to human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in the CCK8 assay. The cell viability reached maximum (percent of the control group) when the weight ratio of cellulose to BG was 2 in the scaffold. Therefore, the 3D-printed BG/cellulose scaffolds show a potential application in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the major clinical challenges of this age could be represented by the possibility to obtain a complete regeneration of infrabony defects. Over the past few years, numerous materials and different approaches have been developed to obtain bone and periodontal healing. Among all biomaterials, bioglasses (BG) are one of the most interesting due to their ability to form a highly reactive carbonate hydroxyapatite layer. Our aim was to systematically review the literature on the use and capability of BG for the treatment of periodontal defects and to perform a meta-analysis of their efficacy. METHODS A search of MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and DOSS was conducted in March 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using BG in the treatment of intrabony and furcation defects. Two reviewers selected the articles included in the study considering the inclusion criteria. The outcomes of interest were periodontal and bone regeneration in terms of decrease of probing depth (PD) and gain of clinical attachment level (CAL). A network meta-analysis (NMA) was fitted, according to the graph theory methodology, using a random effect model. RESULTS Through the digital search, 46 citations were identified. After duplicate removal and screening process, 20 articles were included. All RCTs were retrieved and rated following the Risk of bias 2 scale, revealing several potential sources of bias. The meta-analysis focused on the evaluation at 6 months, with 12 eligible articles for PD and 10 for CAL. As regards the PD at 6 months, AUTOGENOUS CORTICAL BONE, BIOGLASS and PLATELET RICH FIBRIN were more efficacious than open flap debridement alone, with a statistically significant standardized mean difference (SMD) equal to -1.57, -1.06 and - 2.89, respectively. As to CAL at 6 months, the effect of BIOGLASS is reduced and no longer significant (SMD = -0.19, p-value = 0.4) and curiously PLATELET RICH FIBRIN was more efficacious than OFD (SMD =-4.13, p-value < 0.001) in CAL gain, but in indirect evidence. CONCLUSIONS The present review partially supports the clinical efficacy of BG in periodontal regeneration treatments for periodontal purposes. Indeed, the SMD of 0.5 to 1 in PD and CAL obtained with BG compared to OFD alone seem clinically insignificant even if it is statistically significant. Heterogeneity sources related to periodontal surgery are multiple, difficult to assess and likely hamper a quantitative assessment of BG efficacy.

Abstract
Introduction and Methods: Chronic wounds are a major healthcare problem, but their healing may be improved by developing biomaterials which can stimulate angiogenesis, e.g. by activating the Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) pathway. Here, novel glass fibres were produced by laser spinning. The hypothesis was that silicate glass fibres that deliver cobalt ions will activate the HIF pathway and promote the expression of angiogenic genes. The glass composition was designed to biodegrade and release ions, but not form a hydroxyapatite layer in body fluid.Results and Discussion: Dissolution studies demonstrated that hydroxyapatite did not form. When keratinocyte cells were exposed to conditioned media from the cobalt-containing glass fibres, significantly higher amounts of HIF-1α and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) were measured compared to when the cells were exposed to media with equivalent amounts of cobalt chloride. This was attributed to a synergistic effect of the combination of cobalt and other therapeutic ions released from the glass. The effect was also much greater than the sum of HIF-1α and VEGF expression when the cells were cultured with cobalt ions and with dissolution products from the Co-free glass, and was proven to not be due to a rise in pH. The ability of the glass fibres to activate the HIF-1 pathway and promote VEGF expression shows the potential for their use in chronic wound dressings.

Abstract
This study aimed to establish that copper-deposited Diatom-biosilica have the potential and possibility for clinical applications in repairing bone defects in a state of inflammation, such as periodontitis. Treatment of alveolar bone defects caused by periodontitis is a major challenge for clinicians. To achieve better repair results, the material should not only be bone conductive but also have the ability to stimulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis at the lesion site. Copper (II) and silicon (IV) ions could react to form basic copper silicate, which promoted both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. The mineralized diatom (Cu-DBs) loaded with copper (II) ions were synthesized by processing diatom shells using a hydrothermal method. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) are used to detect the osteogenic properties of Cu-DBs at the gene and protein levels. Using a rat cranial defect model and a full-thickness skin incision model to test the osteogenic properties of Cu-DBs in vivo. Compared with untreated diatoms (DBs), Cu-DBs extract significantly promoted the expression of osteogenesis-related factors like ALP, RUNX2, BSP, OCN, and OPN in PDLSCs. In vivo experiments further confirmed that Cu-DBs could effectively stimulate the osteogenesis of a rat skull defect and promote angiogenesis, significantly inhibit the inflammatory responses to bone damages, and reduce the infiltration of inflammatory immune cells to the lesion site. Due to the unique chemical characteristics of Si4+ and Cu2+ ions, the Cu-DBs composite biomaterial could enhance the osteogenic differentiation of PDLSCS in vitro, as well as stimulate the osteogenesis of the rat in vivo.

Abstract
With the increase in the population's life expectancy, there has also been an increase in the rate of osteoporosis, which has expanded the search for strategies to regenerate bone tissue. The ultrasonic sonochemical technique was chosen for the functionalization of the 45S5 bioglass. The samples after the sonochemical process were divided into (a) functionalized bioglass (BG) and (b) functionalized bioglass with 10% teriparatide (BGT). Isolated mesenchymal cells (hMSC) from femurs of ovariectomized rats were differentiated into osteoblasts and submitted to in vitro tests. Bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and sham ovariectomy (Sham) surgeries were performed in fifty-five female Wistar rats. After a period of 60 days, critical bone defects of 5.0 mm were created in the calvaria of these animals. For biomechanical evaluation, critical bone defects of 3.0 mm were performed in the tibias of some of these rats. The groups were divided into the clot (control) group, the BG group, and the BGT group. After the sonochemical process, the samples showed modified chemical topographic and morphological characteristics, indicating that the surface was chemically altered by the functionalization of the particles. The cell environment was conducive to cell adhesion and differentiation, and the BG and BGT groups did not show cytotoxicity. In addition, the experimental groups exhibited characteristics of new bone formation with the presence of bone tissue in both periods, with the BGT group and the OVX group statistically differing from the other groups (p < 0.05) in both periods. Local treatment with the drug teriparatide in ovariectomized animals promoted positive effects on bone tissue, and longitudinal studies should be carried out to provide additional information on the biological performance of the mutual action between the bioglass and the release of the drug teriparatide.

Abstract
3D printing technology provides a platform to fabricate a wide range of structures and complex geometry-based scaffolds through computer-aided design (CAD). This study investigates the possibility of developing Bentonite(BEN)/Hydroxyapatite(HAP) scaffold with different HAP wt% (25, 50, 75) using a 3D printing technique (Robocasting) for potential bone tissue applications. Thermal stability of the composites was characterized in TGA and rheological properties of slurries were observed to have different viscosity and shear stress, especially BEN-HAP 50 wt% achieves all criteria for high-quality printing. The fabricated scaffolds were subjected to sintering from 200 °C to 1000 °C for proper densification and attained a maximum compression strength of 52 MPa at 1000 °C for the printed structures. Changes in crystallinity and functional groups were observed as well with respective sintering temperatures. In this study, we also discussed the extrusion and rheological properties of the composite slurry. Porosity, water absorption, degradation and density were studied to understand the physical properties of the sintered scaffolds. The biological characteristics of the scaffold were studied using MG63 cell lines In vitro biocompatibility study and expressed 91% of viability for the 1000 °C sintered samples under controlled culture conditions.

Abstract
Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and pro-angiogenic properties are prerequisites for dressing materials that accelerate the healing process of infected wounds. Herein, we report a magnesium-doped silica bioactive glass (SiO2/MgO) nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning. Our results demonstrate that this SiO2/MgO nanofiber membrane has good flexibility and hydrophilicity, which give it intimate contact with wound beds. In vitro assessments illustrate its good cytocompatibility and bioactivity that contribute to its robust cell proliferation and angiogenesis. It shows capacity in modulating the cellular inflammatory response of murine macrophages. In addition, in vitro assays prove its good antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains. In a full-thickness skin defect inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus in mice, it effectively inhibits bacterial infection. Both gene expression and histological/immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the down-regulated pro-inflammatory factors, up-regulated anti-inflammatory factors, and enhanced angiogenesis. Taken together, these desirable properties work in concert to contribute to the rapid healing of infected wounds and make it a good candidate for wound dressing materials.

Abstract
Clinically, large diameter artery defects (diameter larger than 6 mm) can be substituted by unbiodegradable polymers, such as polytetrafluoroethylene. There are many problems in the construction of small diameter blood vessels (diameter between 1 and 3 mm) and microvessels (diameter less than 1 mm), especially in the establishment of complex vascular models with multi-scale branched networks. Throughout history, the vascularization strategies have been divided into three major groups, including self-generated capillaries from implantation, pre-constructed vascular channels, and three-dimensional (3D) printed cell-laden hydrogels. The first group is based on the spontaneous angiogenesis behaviour of cells in the host tissues, which also lays the foundation of capillary angiogenesis in tissue engineering scaffolds. The second group is to vascularize the polymeric vessels (or scaffolds) with endothelial cells. It is hoped that the pre-constructed vessels can be connected with the vascular networks of host tissues with rapid blood perfusion. With the development of bioprinting technologies, various fabrication methods have been achieved to build hierarchical vascular networks with high-precision 3D control. In this review, the latest advances in 3D bioprinting of vascularized tissues/organs are discussed, including new printing techniques and researches on bioinks for promoting angiogenesis, especially coaxial printing, freeform reversible embedded in suspended hydrogel printing, and acoustic assisted printing technologies, and freeform reversible embedded in suspended hydrogel (flash) technology.

[PMID: 35510175 PMCID: PMC9048153 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 03/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Out of the wide range of calcium phosphate (CaP) biomaterials, calcium phosphate bone cements (CPCs) have attracted increased attention since their discovery in the 1980s due to their valuable properties such as bioactivity, osteoconductivity, injectability, hardening ability through a low-temperature setting reaction and moldability. Thereafter numerous researches have been performed to enhance the properties of CPCs. Nonetheless, low mechanical performance of CPCs limits their clinical application in load bearing regions of bone. Also, the in vivo resorption and replacement of CPC with new bone tissue is still controversial, thus further improvements of high clinical importance are required. Bioactive glasses (BGs) are biocompatible and able to bond to bone, stimulating new bone growth while dissolving over time. In the last decades extensive research has been performed analyzing the role of BGs in combination with different CaPs. Thus, the focal point of this review paper is to summarize the available research data on how injectable CPC properties could be improved or affected by the addition of BG as a secondary powder phase. It was found that despite the variances of setting time and compressive strength results, desirable injectable properties of bone cements can be achieved by the inclusion of BGs into CPCs. The published data also revealed that the degradation rate of CPCs is significantly improved by BG addition. Moreover, the presence of BG in CPCs improves the in vitro osteogenic differentiation and cell response as well as the tissue-material interaction in vivo. Properties of injectable calcium phosphate bone cements and bioactive glasses are discussed. Benefits that BG addition to CPC could bring are highlighted. Desirable injectable properties of bone cements can be achieved by the inclusion of BGs into CPCs. The presence of BG in CPC advances in vitro and in vivo response of the composites. Future research direction of BG containing injectable CPC composites are provided.

Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) exhibit a high surface area and a highly ordered mesoporous structure. MBGs have potential for both hard and soft tissue engineering applications. MBGs may be doped with biologically active ions to tailor their biological activity. Boron is being widely studied as a dopant of bioactive glasses. Recently, research has demonstrated the potential of boron-containing bioactive glasses for muscle regeneration. In this study, boron-containing MBGs, 10B-MBG and 18B-MBG nanoparticles, were produced by a microemulsion-assisted sol-gel approach for potential muscle regeneration applications. First, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyses were conducted to study the chemical structure and composition of the nanoparticles. To examine the nanoparticle morphology, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were analyzed. Both SEM images and particle size distribution determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) indicated a decrease of the average particle size after boron doping. TEM images indicated a slit-shaped mesoporous structure of nanoparticles for all compositions. The ζ potential was measured, and a negative surface charge was found for all study groups due to the presence of silanol groups. Cytocompatibility and fluorescence microscopy studies were also carried out. The results indicated that low concentrations (0.1 and 1 mg mL-1) of all MBG nanoparticles led to high viability of C2C12 cells. Fluorescence microscopy images indicated that at lower nanoparticle concentrations (0.1 and 1 mg mL-1), C2C12 cells appeared to differentiate into myotubes, which was indicated by a spindle-shaped morphology. For 10 mg mL-1 concentration of nanoparticles, C2C12 cells had a lower aspect ratio (estimated qualitatively by inspection of the images), which implied a lower degree of differentiation. Boron-doped MBG nanoparticles in reduced concentrations are suitable to induce differentiation of C2C12 cells into myotubes, indicating their potential for applications in muscle tissue repair.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is an active research sphere that focuses on the repair, regeneration, and replacement of damaged tissues and organs. A plethora of innovative wound dressings and skin substitutes have been developed to treat cutaneous wounds and are aimed at reducing the length or need for a hospital stay. The inception of biomaterials with the ability to interact with cells and direct them toward desired lineages has brought about innovative designs in wound healing and tissue engineering. This cellular engagement is achieved by cell cues that can be biochemical or biophysical in nature. In effect, these cues seep into innate repair pathways, cause downstream cell behaviours and, ultimately, lead to advantageous healing. This review will focus on biomolecules with encoded biomimetic, instructive prompts that elicit desired cellular domino effects to achieve advanced wound repair. The wound healing dressings covered in this review are based on functionalized biopolymeric materials. While both biophysical and biochemical cues are vital for advanced wound healing applications, focus will be placed on biochemical cues and in vivo or clinical trial applications. The biochemical cues aforementioned will include peptide therapy, collagen matrices, cell-based therapy, decellularized matrices, platelet-rich plasma, and biometals.

Abstract
Poor wound healing after diabetes mellitus remains a challenging problem, and its pathophysiological mechanisms have not yet been fully elucidated. Persistent bleeding, disturbed regulation of inflammation, blocked cell proliferation, susceptible infection and impaired tissue remodeling are the main features of diabetic wound healing. Conventional wound dressings, including gauze, films and bandages, have a limited function. They generally act as physical barriers and absorbers of exudates, which fail to meet the requirements of the whol diabetic wound healing process. Wounds in diabetic patients typically heal slowly and are susceptible to infection due to hyperglycemia within the wound bed. Once bacterial cells develop into biofilms, diabetic wounds will exhibit robust drug resistance. Recently, the application of stimuli-responsive hydrogels, also known as "smart hydrogels", for diabetic wound healing has attracted particular attention. The basic feature of this system is its capacities to change mechanical properties, swelling ability, hydrophilicity, permeability of biologically active molecules, etc., in response to various stimuli, including temperature, potential of hydrogen (pH), protease and other biological factors. Smart hydrogels can improve therapeutic efficacy and limit total toxicity according to the characteristics of diabetic wounds. In this review, we summarized the mechanism and application of stimuli-responsive hydrogels for diabetic wound healing. It is hoped that this work will provide some inspiration and suggestions for research in this field.

Abstract
The challenge for treatment of severe cutaneous wound poses an urgent clinical need for the development of biomaterials to promote skin regeneration. In the past few decades, introduction of inorganic components into material system has become a promising strategy for improving performances of biomaterials in the process of tissue repair. In this review, we provide a current overview of the development of bioactive inorganic particles-based biomaterials used for skin tissue engineering. We highlight the three stages in the evolution of the bioactive inorganic biomaterials applied to wound management, including single inorganic materials, inorganic/organic composite materials, and inorganic particles-based cell-encapsulated living systems. At every stage, the primary types of bioactive inorganic biomaterials are described, followed by citation of the related representative studies completed in recent years. Then we offer a brief exposition of typical approaches to construct the composite material systems with incorporation of inorganic components for wound healing. Finally, the conclusions and future directions are suggested for the development of novel bioactive inorganic particles-based biomaterials in the field of skin regeneration.

Abstract
Since the discovery of silicate bioactive glass (BG) by Larry Hench in 1969, different classes of BGs have been researched over decades mainly for bone regeneration. More recently, validating the beneficial influence of BGs with tailored compositions on angiogenesis, immunogenicity and bacterial infection, the applicability of BGs has been extended to soft tissue repair and wound healing. Particularly, fibrous wound dressings comprising BG particle reinforced polymer nanofibers and cotton-candy-like BG fibers have been proven to be successful for wound healing applications. Such fibrous dressing materials imitate the physical structure of skin's extracellular matrix and release biologically active ions e.g. regenerative, pro-angiogenic and antibacterial ions, e.g. borate, copper, zinc, etc., that can provoke cellular activities to regenerate the lost skin tissue and to induce new vessels formation, while keeping an anti-infection environment. In the current review, we discuss different BG fibrous materials meant for wound healing applications and cover the relevant literature in the past decade. The production methods for BG-containing fibers are explained and as fibrous wound dressing materials, their wound healing and bactericidal mechanisms, depending on the ions they release, are discussed. The present gaps in this research area are highlighted and new strategies to address them are suggested.

Abstract
This review's objectives are to provide an overview of the various kinds of biopolymer hydrogels that are currently used for bone tissue and periodontal tissue regeneration, to list the advantages and disadvantages of using them, to assess how well they might be used for nanoscale fabrication and biofunctionalization, and to describe their production processes and processes for functionalization with active biomolecules. They are applied in conjunction with other materials (such as microparticles (MPs) and nanoparticles (NPs)) and other novel techniques to replicate physiological bone generation more faithfully. Enhancing the biocompatibility of hydrogels created from blends of natural and synthetic biopolymers can result in the creation of the best scaffold match to the extracellular matrix (ECM) for bone and periodontal tissue regeneration. Additionally, adding various nanoparticles can increase the scaffold hydrogel stability and provide a number of biological effects. In this review, the research study of polysaccharide hydrogel as a scaffold will be critical in creating valuable materials for effective bone tissue regeneration, with a future impact predicted in repairing bone defects.

Bioactive glass selectively promotes cytotoxicity towards giant cell tumor of bone derived neoplastic stromal cells and induces MAPK signalling dependent autophagy. Bioact Mater 2022; 15:456-468.

Abstract
Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) are associated with massive bone destructions and high recurrence rates. In a previous study, we observed cytotoxic effects of three different compositions of bioactive glasses (BGs) towards GCTSC but not bone marrow derived stromal cells (BMSC) indicating that BGs represent promising candidates for the development of new therapeutic approaches. In the current study we aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms that are involved in BG induced cytotoxicity. We observed, that BG treatment was not associated with any signs of apoptosis, but rather led to a strong induction of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) and, as a consequence, upregulation of several transcription factors specifically in GCTSC. Genome wide gene expression profiling further revealed a set of fifteen genes that were exclusively induced in GCTSC or induced significantly stronger in GCTSC compared to BMSC. BG treatment further induced autophagy that was significantly more pronounced in GCTSC compared to BMSC and could be inhibited by MAPK inhibitors. Together with the known osteogenic properties of BGs our findings support the suitability of BGs as therapeutic agents for the treatment of GCTB. However, these data have to be verified under in vivo conditions. Bioactive glasses (BG) are selectively cytotoxic towards neoplastic stromal cells. BG induced cell death is independent from apoptosis. BG activates mitogen activated protein kinases and transcription factors. BG trigger differential gene expression in neoplastic versus normal cells. BG induce autophagy.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered constructs are currently limited by the lack of vascularization necessary for the survival and integration of implanted tissues. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an endogenous signaling gas (gasotransmitter), has been recently reported as a promising alternative to growth factors to mediate and promote angiogenesis in low concentrations. Yet, sustained delivery of H2S remains a challenge. Herein, we have developed angiogenic scaffolds by covalent attachment of an H2S donor to a polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun scaffold. These scaffolds were engineered to include azide functional groups (on 1, 5, or 10% of the PCL end groups) and were modified using a straightforward click reaction with an alkyne-functionalized N-thiocarboxyanhydride (alkynyl-NTA). This created H2S-releasing scaffolds that rely on NTA ring-opening in water followed by conversion of released carbonyl sulfide into H2S. These functionalized scaffolds showed dose-dependent release of H2S based on the amount of NTA functionality within the scaffold. The NTA-functionalized fibrous scaffolds supported human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) proliferation, formed more confluent endothelial monolayers, and facilitated the formation of tight cell-cell junctions to a greater extent than unfunctionalized scaffolds. Covalent conjugation of H2S donors to scaffolds not only promotes HUVEC proliferation in vitro, but also increases neovascularization in ovo, as observed in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. NTA-functionalized scaffolds provide localized control over vascularization through the sustained delivery of a powerful endogenous angiogenic agent, which should be further explored to promote angiogenesis in tissue engineering.

Abstract
In recent decades, the demand for replacement of damaged or broken tissues has increased; this poses the attention on problems related to low donor availability. For this reason, researchers focused their attention on the field of tissue engineering, which allows the development of scaffolds able to mimic the tissues' extracellular matrix. However, tissue replacement and regeneration are complex since scaffolds need to guarantee an adequate hierarchical structured morphology as well as adequate mechanical, chemical, and physical properties to stand the stresses and enhance the new tissue formation. For this purpose, the use of inorganic materials as fillers for the scaffolds has gained great interest in tissue engineering applications, due to their wide range of physicochemical properties as well as their capability to induce biological responses. However, some issues still need to be faced to improve their efficacy. This review focuses on the description of the most effective inorganic nanomaterials (clays, nano-based nanomaterials, metal oxides, metallic nanoparticles) used in tissue engineering and their properties. Particular attention has been devoted to their combination with scaffolds in a wide range of applications. In particular, skin, orthopaedic, and neural tissue engineering have been considered.

Abstract
This work aims to study the kinetics of apatite layer formation on the surface of strontium doped binary bioactive glasses (BG: 63S37C) prepared for the first time by a hydrothermal process and evaluate their potential for drug loading and release using ibuprofen (IBU) as an anti-inflammatory drug vector. First, the binary glass 63S37C was doped with various amounts of strontium, from 0.2 to 1 mol%. Subsequently, the amorphous state of the samples and the microstructure were assessed by TGA, XRD, FTIR, ICP-AES, and SEM-EDS. Next, the in vitro bioactivity was evaluated by following the surface morphology and composition changes of soaked samples for up to 14 days at 37 °C in simulated bodily fluid (SBF). Finally, SEM-EDS spectroscopy showed clearly the appearance of needle-shaped apatite on amorphous glass substrates at the earlier stages of immersion for bioglasses doped with strontium. These findings are also confirmed with XRD and FTIR analysis. Furthermore, 63S37C BG proved that the drug release increased with increasing strontium content. Altogether, this novel class of bioactive glasses may be considered to have a promising future for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Early angiogenesis is important to facilitate biomaterials' osteogenic effects and avoid the bone regeneration failure for large-sized bone defects. Bioactive glasses (BG) have been widely utilized as a biomaterial for bone repair. However, the early angiogenesis of BG may be inadequate. In this study, we explored the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) combined with BG on early angiogenesis to solve this bottleneck problem of insufficient early angiogenesis. In vitro, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were cultured with BG extracts and treated with PBM using 1 J/cm2. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR) and tubule formation assay were utilized to detect HUVECs' proliferation, vascular growth factor genes expression and tubules formation. In vivo, bone defects at the femoral metaphysis in Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with BG particulates and PBM at 120 J/cm2. Immunohistochemical staining was applied to observe the vascular-like structure formation. In vitro results showed that PBM combined with BG significantly promoted HUVECs' proliferation, genes expression and mature tubules formation. On days 2, 4 and 7, the VEGF gene expression in BG+PBM group was 2.70-, 2.59- and 3.05-fold higher than control (P<0.05), and higher than PBM and BG groups (P<0.05). On days 4 and 7, the bFGF gene expression in BG+PBM group was 2.42- and 1.82-fold higher than control (P<0.05), and also higher than PBM and BG groups (P<0.05). Tube formation assay showed that mature tubules formed in BG+PBM and PBM groups after 4 hours. The tubules number in BG+PBM group was significantly higher than other groups (P<0.05). In vivo results further confirmed that PBM induced early angiogenesis. More vascular-like structures were observed in BG+PBM and PBM groups 2-week post surgery. In conclusion, with the optimum PBM fluence and BG concentration, PBM combined with BG exerted additive effects on enhancing early angiogenesis.

Abstract
Despite the crucial role of osteoclasts in the physiological process of bone repair, most bone tissue engineering strategies have focused on osteoblast-biomaterial interactions. Although Biosilicate® with two crystalline phases (BioS-2P) exhibits osteogenic properties and significant bone formation, its effects on osteoclasts are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro and in vivo effects of BioS-2P on osteoclast differentiation and activity. RAW 264.7 cells were cultured in osteoclastogenic medium (OCM) or OCM conditioned with BioS-2P (OCM-BioS-2P), and the cell morphology, viability, and osteoclast differentiation were evaluated. BioS-2P scaffolds were implanted into rat calvarial defects, and the bone tissue was evaluated using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and RT-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) after 2 and 4 weeks to determine the gene expressions of osteoclast markers and compare them with those of the bone grown in empty defects (Control). OCM-BioS-2P favored osteoclast viability and activity, as evidenced by an increase in the TRAP-positive cells and matrix resorption. The bone tissue grown on BioS-2P scaffolds exhibited higher expression of the osteoclast marker genes (Ctsk, Mmp 9, Rank) after 2 and 4 weeks and the RankL/Opg ratio after 2 weeks. Trap gene expression was lower at 2 weeks, and a higher number of TRAP-stained areas were observed in the newly formed bone on BioS-2P scaffolds at both 2 and 4 weeks compared to the Controls. These results enhanced our understanding of the role of bioactive glass-ceramics in bone repair, and highlighted their role in the modulation of osteoclastic activities and promotion of interactions between bone tissues and biomaterials.

Abstract
Skin has excellent capacity to regenerate, however, in the event of a large injury or burn skin grafts are required to aid wound healing. The regenerative capacity further declines with increasing age and can be further exacerbated with bacterial infection leading to a chronic wound. Engineered skin substitutes can be used to provide a temporary template for the damaged tissue, to prevent/combat bacterial infection and promote healing. In this study, the sol-gel process and electrospinning were combined to fabricate 3D cotton-wool-like sol-gel bioactive glass fibers that mimic the fibrous architecture of skin extracellular matrix (ECM) and deliver metal ions for antibacterial (silver) and therapeutic (calcium and silica species) actions for successful healing of wounds. This study investigated the effects of synthesis and process parameters, in particular sintering temperature on the fiber morphology, the incorporation and distribution of silver and the degradation rate of fibers. Silver nitrate was found to decompose into silver nanoparticles within the glass fibers upon calcination. Furthermore, with increasing calcination temperature the nanoparticles increased in size from 3 nm at 600 °C to ~25 nm at 800 °C. The antibacterial ability of the Ag-doped glass fibers decreased as a function of the glass calcination temperature. The degradation products from the Ag-doped 3D non-woven sol-gel glass fibers were also found to promote fibroblast proliferation thus demonstrating their potential for use in skin regeneration.

Int J Nanomedicine 2022; 17:1035-1068.

Abstract
One of the most arduous challenges in tissue engineering is neovascularization, without which there is a lack of nutrients delivered to a target tissue. Angiogenesis should be completed at an optimal density and within an appropriate period of time to prevent cell necrosis. Failure to meet this challenge brings about poor functionality for the tissue in comparison with the native tissue, extensively reducing cell viability. Prior studies devoted to angiogenesis have provided researchers with some biomaterial scaffolds and cell choices for angiogenesis. For example, while most current angiogenesis approaches require a variety of stimulatory factors ranging from biomechanical to biomolecular to cellular, some other promising stimulatory factors have been underdeveloped (such as electrical, topographical, and magnetic). When it comes to choosing biomaterial scaffolds in tissue engineering for angiogenesis, key traits rush to mind including biocompatibility, appropriate physical and mechanical properties (adhesion strength, shear stress, and malleability), as well as identifying the appropriate biomaterial in terms of stability and degradation profile, all of which may leave essential trace materials behind adversely influencing angiogenesis. Nevertheless, the selection of the best biomaterial and cells still remains an area of hot dispute as such previous studies have not sufficiently classified, integrated, or compared approaches. To address the aforementioned need, this review article summarizes a variety of natural and synthetic scaffolds including hydrogels that support angiogenesis. Furthermore, we review a variety of cell sources utilized for cell seeding and influential factors used for angiogenesis with a concentrated focus on biomechanical factors, with unique stimulatory factors. Lastly, we provide a bottom-to-up overview of angiogenic biomaterials and cell selection, highlighting parameters that need to be addressed in future studies.

Abstract
Wound healing is an evolved dynamic biological process. Though many research and clinical approaches have been explored to restore damaged or diseased skin, the current treatment for deep cutaneous injuries is far from being perfect, and the ideal regenerative therapy remains a significant challenge. Of all treatments, bioengineered scaffolds play a key role and represent great progress in wound repair and skin regeneration. In this review, we focus on the latest advancement in biomaterial scaffolds for wound healing. We discuss the emerging philosophy of designing biomaterial scaffolds, followed by precursor development. We pay particular attention to the therapeutic interventions of bioengineered scaffolds for cutaneous wound healing, and their dual effects while conjugating with bioactive molecules, stem cells, and even immunomodulation. As we review the advancement and the challenges of the current strategies, we also discuss the prospects of scaffold development for wound healing.

Abstract
Bulk calcium phosphates and silicate-based bioglasses have been extensively studied since the early 1970s due to their unique capacity to bind to host bone, which led to their clinical translation and commercialization in the 1980s. Since the mid-1990s, researchers have synthesized nanoscale calcium phosphate and silicate-based particles of increased specific surface area, chemical reactivity and solubility which offer specific advantages as compared to their bulk counterparts. This review provides a critical perspective on the history and emerging trends of these two classes of ceramic nanoparticles. Their synthesis and functional properties in terms of particle composition, size, shape, charge, dispersion, and toxicity are discussed as a function of relevant processing parameters. Specifically, emerging trends such as the influence of ion doping and mesoporosity on the biological and pharmaceutical performance of these nanoparticles are reviewed in more detail. Finally, a broad comparative overview is provided on the physicochemical properties and applicability of calcium phosphate and silicate-based nanoparticles within the fields of i) local delivery of therapeutic agents, ii) functionalization of biomaterial scaffolds or implant coatings, and iii) bio-imaging applications.

Abstract
In this work, the role of chitosan (CS) in improving the properties of bioactive glass (BG) paste for wound healing was studied. Based on in vitro evaluation, it was found that the addition of CS neutralizes the pH value from 11.0 to 7.5, which did not lead to decreasing the bioactivity of BG paste in vitro. The rheological properties showed that the composite paste had higher bio-adhesion and better affinity with the skin surface than either CS or the BG paste. The antibacterial property evaluation showed that the composite paste had stronger antibacterial activity than either CS or BG paste and promoted the proliferation of HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) and HaCat (human immortalized keratinocyte cells). Comparatively, the effect of promoting the proliferation of HUVECs is more significant than that of HaCat. The burn-wound model of rat was developed for evaluating in vivo activity, and the addition of CS effectively promoted wound healing without obvious inflammation according to the IL-1β and IL-6 staining. This novel paste is expected to provide a promising alternative for wound healing.

Abstract
Manipulations of morphological properties of nanobiomaterials have been demonstrated to modulate the outcome of osteoimmunomodulation and eventually osteogenesis through innate immune response. However, the functions and mechanisms of adaptive immune cells in the process of nanobiomaterials-mediated bone regeneration have remained unknown. Herein, we developed bone-mimicking hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorods with different aspect ratios as model materials to investigate the impacts of the nanoshape features on osteogenesis and to explore the underlying mechanisms focusing on the functions of T cells and T cell-derived cytokines. HAp nanorods with different aspect ratios (HAp-0, HAp-30, and HAp-100) were implanted into mouse mandibular defect models. Micro-CT and hematoxylin and eosin staining demonstrated that HAp-100 had the best osteogenic effects. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that HAp-100 increased the percentage of T cells in injured mandibles. The osteogenic effects of HAp-100 were significantly blunted in injured mandibles of TCRβ-/- mice. The Luminex xMAP assay and ELISA showed that HAp-100 induced a marked increase of interleukin (IL)-22 in injured mandibles. In cultured T cells, HAp-100 manifested the best capacity to induce the production of IL-22. Conditioned media from HAp-100-primed T cells promoted osteogenesis and JAK1/STAT3 activation in bone marrow stromal cells, all of which were abolished by neutralizing antibodies against IL-22. In summary, bone-mimicking HAp nanorods with different aspect ratios could regulate osteogenesis through modulation of T cells and IL-22 in the bone regeneration process. These findings provided insights for mediation of the immune response of T cells by nanomaterials on osteogenesis and strategies for designing biomaterials with osteoimmunomodulative functions.

Abstract
The lymphatic system is crucial for the regeneration of many tissues due to its fundamental role in immune cell trafficking, protein transport, and tissue homeostasis maintenance. Strategies stimulating lymphangiogenesis can provide new therapeutic approaches for tissue repair and regeneration (e.g., chronic wound healing). Here, we explored the effects of cerium-containing mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Ce-MBGNs) on lymphangiogenesis. The results showed that the extracts of Ce-MBGNs (1, 5, or 10 wt/v%) were non-cytotoxic toward lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), while they enhanced the proliferation of LECs. Moreover, as evidenced by the scratch wound healing and Transwell migration assays, conditioned media containing the extract of Ce-MBGNs (1 wt/v%) could enhance the migration of LECs in comparison to the blank control and the media containing vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C, 50 ng/mL). Additionally, a tube-formation assay using LECs showed that the extract of Ce-MBGNs (1 wt/v%) promoted lymphatic vascular network formation. Western blot results suggested that Ce-MBGNs could induce lymphangiogenesis probably through the HIF-1α/VEGFR-3 pathway. Our study for the first time showed the effects of Ce-MBGNs on stimulating lymphangiogenesis in vitro, highlighting the potential of Ce-MBGNs for wound healing.

Abstract
As a low cost, biocompatible, and bioresorbable synthetic polymer, poly (ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) is widely used for different biomedical applications including drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering. An extensive range of in vitro and in vivo tests has proven the favourable applicability of PCL in biomedicine, bringing about the FDA approval for a plethora of PCL made medical or drug delivery systems. This popular polymer, widely researched since the 1970s, can be readily processed through various techniques such as 3D printing and electrospinning to create biomimetic and customized medical products. However, low mechanical strength, insufficient number of cellular recognition sites, poor bioactivity, and hydrophobicity are main shortcomings of PCL limiting its broader use for biomedical applications. To maintain and benefit from the high potential of PCL, yet addressing its physicochemical and biological challenges, blending with nature-derived (bio)polymers and incorporation of nanofillers have been extensively investigated. Here, we discuss novel additives that have been meant for enhancement of PCL nanofiber properties and thus for further extension of the PCL nanofiber application domain. The most recent researches (since 2017) have been covered and an updated overview about hybrid PCL nanofibers is presented with focus on those including nature-derived additives, e.g., polysaccharides and proteins, and synthetic additives, e.g., inorganic and carbon nanomaterials.
