[PMID: 39009103 DOI: 10.1016/j.micpath.2024.106790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2024] [Revised: 07/05/2024] [Accepted: 07/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A growing body of evidence indicates a close association between the gut microbiota (GM) and the bone remodeling (BR) process, raising suspicions that the GM may actively participate in BR by modulating the levels of growth factors. However, the precise causal relationship between them remains unclear. Due to many confounding factors, many microorganisms related to BR growth factors have not been identified. We aimed to elucidate the causal relationship between the GM and BR growth factors. METHODS We evaluated the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for GM and five common growth factors associated with BR: namely, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), transforming growth factors(TGF), insulin growth factors (IGFs), epidermal growth factors (EGFs), and fibroblast growth factors (FGF). The causal relationship between the GM and BR growth factors was studied by double-sample Mendelian randomized analysis. We used five Mendelian randomization (MR) methods, including inverse variance-weighted (IVW), MR-Egger, simple mode, weighted median, and weighted model methods. RESULTS Through MR analysis, a total of 56 bacterial genera were co-identified as associated with BMP, TGF, IGF, EGF, and FGF. Among them, eight genera were found to have a causal relationship with multiple growth factors: Marvinbryantia was causally associated with BMP-6 (P = 0.018, OR = 1.355) and TGF-β2 (P = 0.002, OR = 1.475); Lachnoclostridium, BMP-7 (P = 0.021, OR = 0.73) and IGF-1 (P = 0.046, OR = 0.804); Terrisporobacter, TGF-β (P = 0.02, OR = 1.726) and FGF-23 levels (P = 0.016, OR = 1.76); Ruminiclostridium5, TGF-β levels (P = 0.024, OR = 0.525) and FGFR-2 (P = 0.003, OR = 0.681); Erysipelatoclostridium, TGF-β2 (P = 0.001, OR = 0.739) and EGF and its receptor (EGFR) (P = 0.012, OR = 0.795); Eubacterium_brachy_group, FGFR-2 (P = 0.045, OR = 1.153) and EGF (P = 0.013, OR = 0.7); Prevotella9 with EGFR (P = 0.022, OR = 0.818) and FGFR-2 (P = 0.011, OR = 1.233) and Faecalibacterium with FGF-23 (P = 0.02, OR = 2.053) and IGF-1 (P = 0.005, OR = 0.843). CONCLUSION We confirmed the causal relationship between the GM and growth factors related to BR, which provides a new perspective for the study of BR, through targeted regulation of specific bacteria to prevent and treat diseases and growth factor-mediated BR disorders.

Abstract
With dental implant treatment becoming the gold standard, the need for effective bone augmentation prior to implantation has grown. This study aims to evaluate a bone augmentation strategy integrating three key growth factors: bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Collagen scaffolds incorporating BMP-2, IGF-1, or VEGF were fabricated and categorized into five groups based on their content: scaffold alone; BMP-2 alone (BMP-2); BMP-2 and IGF-1 (BI); BMP-2, IGF-1, and VEGF (BIV); and BMP-2 and IGF-1 with an earlier release of VEGF (BI + V). The prepared scaffolds were surgically implanted into the calvarias of C57BL/6JJcl mice, and hard tissue formation was assessed after 10 and 28 days through histological, tomographic, and biochemical analyses. The combination of BMP-2 and IGF-1 induced a greater volume of hard tissue augmentation compared with that of BMP-2 alone, regardless of VEGF supplementation, and these groups had increased levels of cartilage compared with others. The volume of hard tissue formation was greatest in the BIV group. In contrast, the BI + V group exhibited a hard tissue volume similar to that of the BI group. While VEGF and CD31 levels were highest in the BIV group at 10 days, there was no correlation at the same time point between hard tissue formation and the quantity of M2 macrophages. In conclusion, the simultaneous release of BMP-2, IGF-1, and VEGF proved to be effective in promoting bone augmentation.

PLoS Comput Biol 2023; 19:e1011647. [PMID: 37956208 PMCID: PMC10681321 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011647] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 11/01/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Sprouting angiogenesis plays a key role during bone regeneration. For example, insufficient early revascularization of the injured site can lead to delayed or non-healing. During sprouting, endothelial cells are known to be mechano-sensitive and respond to local mechanical stimuli. Endothelial cells interact and communicate mechanically with their surroundings, such as outer-vascular stromal cells, through cell-induced traction forces. In addition, external physiological loads act at the healing site, resulting in tissue deformations and impacting cellular arrangements. How these two distinct mechanical cues (cell-induced and external) impact angiogenesis and sprout patterning in early bone healing remains however largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relative role of externally applied and cell-induced mechanical signals in driving sprout patterning at the onset of bone healing. To investigate cellular self-organisation in early bone healing, an in silico model accounting for the mechano-regulation of sprouting angiogenesis and stromal cell organization was developed. Computer model predictions were compared to in vivo experiments of a mouse osteotomy model stabilized with a rigid or a semirigid fixation system. We found that the magnitude and orientation of principal strains within the healing region can explain experimentally observed sprout patterning, under both fixation conditions. Furthermore, upon simulating the selective inhibition of either cell-induced or externally applied mechanical cues, external mechanical signals appear to overrule the mechanical communication acting on a cell-cell interaction level. Such findings illustrate the relevance of external mechanical signals over the local cell-mediated mechanical cues and could be used in the design of fracture treatment strategies for bone regeneration.

Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:369. [PMID: 37622974 PMCID: PMC10452594 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8040369] [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: 05/13/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to investigate the use of the nanocapsule sequential delivery of BMP-2 and SDF-1α through the peripheral circulatory system to promote the healing of osteoporotic fractures. METHODS Based on increased vascular permeability in the early hematoma environment around the fracture and the presence of a large number of matrix metalloproteinase MMPs in the inflammatory environment, we designed MMP-sensitive nanocapsules which were formed viain situ free-radical polymerization on the surface of grow factors with 2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and the bisacryloylated VPLGVRTK peptide. The antiphagic effect and biological activity of the growth factors for the nanomicrocapsule delivery system were tested by cell experiments. The 36 SD rats with an osteoporotic fracture model were randomly divided into six groups (A, B, C, D, E, and F). In this paper, the nanocapsules loaded with BMP-2 and SDF-1 are represented as n (BMP-2) and n (SDF-1α). In the six groups, the following different combinations of growth factors were injected into the bone defect site on days 1 and 3 after bone defect surgery: in group A, n (SDF-1α) combined with n (SDF-1α); in group B, n (BMP-2) combined with n (BMP-2); in group C, n (SDF-1α) + n (BMP-2) combined with n (SDF-1α) + n (BMP-2); in group D, n (SDF-1α) combined with n (BMP-2); in group E, n (BMP-2) combined with n (SDF-1α); in group F, nanocapsules without growth factor were used as the control group. Micro-CT was used to observe the effect of n(BMP-2) and n(SDF-1α) sequential delivery inearly healing in osteoporotic fractures. Finally, in this study, we evaluated the safety of the nanocapsules delivery system by detecting ectopic osteogenesis and inflammatory responses in animals. RESULTS Nanocapsules have low toxicity and protect the integrity and biological activity of growth factors. The results confirmed that nanocapsules could still be effectively targeted to the fracture site on days 1, 3, and 7 after intravenous administration. Growth factors encapsulated in nanocapsules have better bone repair results than natural growth factors. In particular, groups C and D had the best bone repair results than other groups.In vivo experiments confirmed that nanocapsules did not cause significant ectopic osteogenesis and inflammation. CONCLUSION The results confirmed that the special vascular permeability and inflammatory factor microenvironment of the fracture site could be used to deliver two growth factors with a synergistic effect through venous circulation, which could better promote the healing process of osteoporotic fracture.

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
The use of biomaterials and bioactive agents has shown promise in bone defect repair, leading to the development of strategies for bone regeneration. Various artificial membranes, especially collagen membranes (CMs) that are widely used for periodontal therapy and provide an extracellular matrix-simulating environment, play a significant role in promoting bone regeneration. In addition, numerous growth factors (GFs) have been used as clinical applications in regenerative therapy. However, it has been established that the unregulated administration of these factors may not work to their full regenerative potential and could also trigger unfavorable side effects. The utilization of these factors in clinical settings is still restricted due to the lack of effective delivery systems and biomaterial carriers. Hence, considering the efficiency of bone regeneration, both spaces maintained using CMs and GFs can synergistically create successful outcomes in bone tissue engineering. Therefore, recent studies have demonstrated a significant interest in the potential of combining CMs and GFs to effectively promote bone repair. This approach holds great promise and has become a focal point in our research. The purpose of this review is to highlight the role of CMs containing GFs in the regeneration of bone tissue, and to discuss their use in preclinical animal models of regeneration. Additionally, the review addresses potential concerns and suggests future research directions for growth factor therapy in the field of regenerative science.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has become an advanced approach for fabricating patient-specific scaffolds with complex geometric shapes to replace damaged or diseased tissue. Herein, polylactic acid (PLA)-Baghdadite (Bgh) scaffold were made through the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing method and subjected to alkaline treatment. Following fabrication, the scaffolds were coated with either chitosan (Cs)-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or lyophilized Cs-VEGF known as PLA-Bgh/Cs-VEGF and PLA-Bgh/L.(Cs-VEGF), respectively. Based on the results, it was found that the coated scaffolds had higher porosity, compressive strength and elastic modulus than PLA and PLA-Bgh samples. Also, the osteogenic differentiation potential of scaffolds following culture with rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) was evaluated through crystal violet and Alizarin-red staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium content assays, osteocalcin measurements, and gene expression analysis. The release of VEGF from the coated scaffolds was assessed and also the angiogenic potential of scaffolds was evaluated. The sum of results presented in the current study strongly suggests that the PLA-Bgh/L.(Cs-VEGF) scaffold can be a proper candidate for bone healing applications.

Abstract
Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a potentially disabling orthopedic condition that requires total hip arthroplasty in most late-stage cases. However, mechanisms underlying the development of ONFH remain unknown, and the therapeutic strategies remain limited. Growth factors play a crucial role in different physiological processes, including cell proliferation, invasion, metabolism, apoptosis, and stem cell differentiation. Recent studies have reported that polymorphisms of growth factor-related genes are involved in the pathogenesis of ONFH. Tissue and genetic engineering are attractive strategies for treating early-stage ONFH. In this review, we summarized dysregulated growth factor-related genes and their role in the occurrence and development of ONFH. In addition, we discussed their potential clinical applications in tissue and genetic engineering for the treatment of ONFH.

Abstract
Today, communities and their health systems are facing with several challenges associated with the population ageing. Growing number of bone disorders is one of the most serious consequences of aging. According to the reports bone disorders won't just affect the elderly population. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells that could be derived from a variety of tissues including bone marrow, Wharton's Jelly, adipose tissue, and others. MSCs have been utilized in different researches in the field of regenerative medicine because of their immunosuppression and anti-inflammatory mechanisms (like: inhibiting the activity of antigen presenting cells, and suppressing the activity of T lymphocyte cells, macrophages, and so on.), migration to injured areas, and participation in healing processes. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are a type of these cells which can be commonly used in bone research with the promising results. These cells function by releasing a large number of extracellular vesicles (EVs). Exosomes are the most major EVs products produced by BMMSCs. They have the same contents and properties as their parent cells; however, these structures don't have the defects of cell therapy. Proteins (annexins, tetraspannins, etc.), lipids (cholesterol, phosphoglycerides, etc.), nucleic acids (micro-RNAs, and etc.) and other substances are found in exosomes. Exosomes affect target cells, causing them to change their function. The features of BMMSC exosomes' mechanism in osteogenesis and bone regeneration (like: effects on other MSCs, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and angiogenesis) and also the effects of their micro-RNAs on osteogenesis are the subject of the present review.

Abstract
The dual delivery platforms used in bone tissue engineering provide supplementary bioactive compounds that include distinct medicines and growth factors thereby aiding enhanced bone regeneration. The delivery of these compounds can be adjusted for a short or prolonged time based on the requirement by altering various parameters of the carrier platform. The platforms thus used are fabricated to mimic the niche of the bone microenvironment, either in the form of porous 3D structures, microspheres, or films. Thus, this review article focuses on the concept of dual drug delivery platform and its importance, classification of various platforms for dual drug delivery specific to bone tissue engineering, and finally highlights the foresight into the future direction of these techniques for better clinical applications.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a widespread inflammatory disease that leads to loss of the tooth supporting periodontal tissues. The few therapies available to regenerate periodontal tissues have high costs and inherent limitations, inspiring the development of new approaches. Studies have shown that periodontal tissues have an inherent capacity for regeneration, driven by multipotent cells residing in the periodontal ligament (PDL). The purpose of this review is to describe the current understanding of the mechanisms driving periodontal wound healing and regeneration that can inform the development of new treatment approaches. The biologic basis underlying established therapies such as guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and growth factor delivery are reviewed, along with examples of biomaterials that have been engineered to improve the effectiveness of these approaches. Emerging therapies such as those targeting Wnt signaling, periodontal cell delivery or recruitment, and tissue engineered scaffolds are described in the context of periodontal wound healing, using key in vivo studies to illustrate the impact these approaches can have on the formation of new cementum, alveolar bone, and PDL. Finally, design principles for engineering new therapies are suggested which build on current knowledge of periodontal wound healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Engineering approaches for growth factor delivery have been considerably advanced for tissue regeneration, yet most of them fail to provide a complex combination of signals emulating a natural healing cascade, which substantially limits their clinical successes. Herein, we aimed to emulate the natural bone healing cascades by coupling the processes of angiogenesis and osteogenesis with a hybrid dual growth factor delivery system to achieve vascularized bone formation. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was loaded into methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) to mimic angiogenic signalling during the inflammation and soft callus phases of the bone healing process, while bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was bound onto mineral coated microparticles (MCM) to mimics osteogenic signalling in the hard callus and bone remodelling phases. An Initial high concentration of bFGF accompanied by a sustainable release of BMP-2 and inorganic ions was realized to orchestrate well-coupled osteogenic and angiogenic effects for bone regeneration. In vitro experiments indicated that the hybrid hydrogel markedly enhanced the formation of vasculature in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In vivo results confirmed the optimal osteogenic performance of our F/G-B/M hydrogel, which was primarily attributed to the FGF-induced vascularization. This research presents a facile and potent alternative for treating bone defects by emulating natural cascades of bone healing.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the most common skeletal disorders caused by the imbalance between bone formation and resorption, resulting in quantitative loss of bone tissue. Since stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are growing attention as novel cell-free therapeutics that have advantages over parental stem cells, the therapeutic effects of EVs from adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASC-EVs) on osteoporosis pathogenesis were investigated. ASC-EVs were isolated by a multi-filtration system based on the tangential flow filtration (TFF) system and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, flow cytometry, cytokine arrays, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. EVs are rich in growth factors and cytokines related to bone metabolism and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) migration. In particular, osteoprotegerin (OPG), a natural inhibitor of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), was highly enriched in ASC-EVs. We found that the intravenous administration of ASC-EVs attenuated bone loss in osteoporosis mice. Also, ASC-EVs significantly inhibited osteoclast differentiation of macrophages and promoted the migration of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs). However, OPG-depleted ASC-EVs did not show anti-osteoclastogenesis effects, demonstrating that OPG is critical for the therapeutic effects of ASC-EVs. Additionally, small RNA sequencing data were analysed to identify miRNA candidates related to anti-osteoporosis effects. miR-21-5p in ASC-EVs inhibited osteoclast differentiation through Acvr2a down-regulation. Also, let-7b-5p in ASC-EVs significantly reduced the expression of genes related to osteoclastogenesis. Finally, ASC-EVs reached the bone tissue after they were injected intravenously, and they remained longer. OPG, miR-21-5p, and let-7b-5p in ASC-EVs inhibit osteoclast differentiation and reduce gene expression related to bone resorption, suggesting that ASC-EVs are highly promising as cell-free therapeutic agents for osteoporosis treatment.

Effects of relative centrifugation force on L-PRF: An in vivo submandibular boney defect regeneration study. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2021; 109:2237-2245.

Abstract
Properties and composition of leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) clots may be largely affected by centrifugation protocols (function of relative centrifugal force [RCF]), which may impact biological potential repair in bone regeneration. The present in vivo study sought to assess the effect of the RCF on the composition of L-PRF clots, as well as to compare the repair potential of L-PRF clots obtained with different RCF protocols in submandibular boney defects using PLGA scaffolds for bone regeneration. Complete blood count and volumetric evaluations were performed on L-PRF clots obtained through centrifugation for 12 min at 200, 400, and 600 RCF-clot centrifugation speeds. These evaluations were completed from blood collected immediately prior to any surgical procedures. The in vivo portion comprised of three submandibular unilateral, full thickness, osteotomies (~0.40cm3 ) which were created in the submandibular region of six sheep, using rotary instrumentation under continuous irrigation. Subsequently, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds were enveloped in a L-PRF membrane from one of the three spinning speeds (n = 6/RCF) and inserted into the defect (sites were interpolated to avoid site bias). Six-weeks after surgery, the mandibles were harvested en bloc and prepared for volumetric and histomorphometric evaluations. Membranes harvested from 600 RCF produced significantly larger L-PRF clots (6.97g ± 0.95) in comparison to the lower 200 RCF (5.7g ± 0.95), with no significant differences between 600 and 400, and from 400 and 200 RCF. The three tested RCFs did not alter the platelet count of the L-PRF clot. For the in vivo component, quantitative bone regeneration analyses demonstrated significantly higher values obtained with L-PRF membranes extracted post 600 RCF (27.01 ± 8%) versus 200 RCF (17.54 ± 8%), with no significant differences regarding 400 RCF (~23 ± 8%). At the qualitative histological analyses, L-PRF membranes obtained at 600 and 400 RCFs yielded improved healing throughout the defect, where the L-PRF sourced from the lowest speed, 200 RCF, presented healing primarily at the margins along with the presence of connective tissue at the central aspect of the surgical defect. Higher 600 RCF yielded larger L-PRF clots/membranes, resulting in enhanced bone repair potential in association with PLGA scaffolds for the treatment of critical size bone defects.

Abstract
Ribonucleic acids (small interfering RNA, microRNA, and messenger RNA) have been emerging as a promising new class of therapeutics for bone regeneration. So far, however, research has mostly focused on stability and complexation of these oligonucleotides for systemic delivery. By comparison, delivery of RNA nanocomplexes from biomaterial carriers can facilitate a spatiotemporally controlled local delivery of osteogenic oligonucleotides. This review provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in the design of biomaterials which allow for temporal and spatial control over RNA delivery. We correlate this concept of spatiotemporally controlled RNA delivery to the most relevant events that govern bone regeneration to evaluate to which extent tuning of release kinetics is required. In addition, inspired by the physiological principles of bone regeneration, potential new RNA targets are presented. Finally, considerations for clinical translation and upscaled production are summarized to stimulate the design of clinically relevant RNA-releasing biomaterials.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration aims to achieve functional restoration following injury by creating an environment to enable the body to self-repair. Strategies for regeneration rely on the introduction of biomaterial scaffolding, cells and bioactive molecules into the body, at or near the injury site. Of these bioactive molecules, growth factors (GFs) play a pivotal role in directing regenerative pathways for many cell populations. However, the therapeutic use of GFs has been limited by the complexity of biological injury and repair, and the properties of the GFs themselves, including their short half-life, poor tissue penetration, and off-target side effects. Externally triggered delivery systems have the potential to facilitate the delivery of GFs into the target tissues with considerations of the timing, sequence, amount, and location of GF presentation. This review briefly discusses the challenges facing the therapeutic use of GFs, then, we discuss approaches to externally trigger GF release from delivery systems categorised by stimulation type; ultrasound, temperature, light, magnetic fields and electric fields. Overall, while the use of GFs for tissue regeneration is still in its infancy, externally controlled GF delivery technologies have the potential to achieve robust and effective solutions to present GFs to injured tissues. Future technological developments must occur in conjunction with a comprehensive understanding of the biology at the injury site to ensure translation of promising technologies into real world benefit.

Abstract
Bone is the most studied tissue in the field of tissue regeneration. Even though it has intrinsic capability to regenerate upon injury, several pathologies and injuries could hamper the highly orchestrated bone formation and resorption process. Bone tissue engineering seeks to mimic the extracellular matrix of the tissue and the different biochemical pathways that lead to successful regeneration. For many years, the use of extrinsic factors (i.e., growth factors and drugs) to modulate these biological processes have been the preferred choice in the field. Even though it has been successful in some instances, this approach presents several drawbacks, such as safety-concerns, short release profile and half-time life of the compounds. On the other hand, the use of inorganic ions has attracted significant attention due to their therapeutic effects, stability and lower biological risks. Biomaterials play a key role in such strategies where they serve as a substrate for the incorporation and release of the ions. In this review, the methodologies used to incorporate ions in biomaterials is presented, highlighting the osteogenic properties of such ions and the roles of biomaterials in controlling their release.

Abstract
The basic concepts from the fields of biology and engineering are integrated into tissue engineering to develop constructs for the repair of damaged and/or absent tissues, respectively. The field has grown substantially over the past two decades, with particular interest in bone tissue engineering (BTE). Clinically, there are circumstances in which the quantity of bone that is necessary to restore form and function either exceeds the patient's healing capacity or bone's intrinsic regenerative capabilities. Vascularized osseous or osteocutaneous free flaps are the standard of care with autologous bone remaining the gold standard, but is commonly associated with donor site morbidity, graft resorption, increased operating time, and cost. Regardless of the size of a craniofacial defect, from trauma, pathology, and osteonecrosis, surgeons and engineers involved with reconstruction need to consider the complex three-dimensional (3D) geometry of the defect and its relationship to local structures. Three-dimensional printing has garnered significant attention and presents opportunities to use craniofacial BTE as a technology that offers a personalized approach to bony reconstruction. Clinicians and engineers are able to work together to produce patient-specific space-maintaining scaffolds tailored to site-specific defects, which are osteogenic, osseoconductive, osseoinductive, encourage angiogenesis/vasculogenesis, and mechanically stable upon implantation to prevent immediate failure. In this work, we review biological and engineering principles important in applying 3D printing technology to BTE for craniofacial reconstruction as well as present recent translational advancements in 3D printed bioactive ceramic scaffold technology.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the biodegradable materials that has been used in the areas of surgical healing lines, cancer treatment, and wound healing. However, the application of PLA is still rather limited due to its high hydrophobicity and poor antibacterial activity. In order to enhance the antifouling and antibacterial performances of PLA, here we modified the surface of PLA with various sizes of hydrogel micropatterns in negative or positive mode using plasma treatment, the photomask technique, and UV-graft polymerization. The hydrogel micropatterns consist of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), poly(2-methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine) (PMPC), and poly(methacryloyloxyethyltrimethylammonium chloride) (PDMC). Compared to PLA, the patterned PLA (PLA-PMPC/PDMC/PEGDA) shows obviously enhanced antifouling and antibacterial activities. For PLA-PMPC/PDMC/PEGDA with either positive or negative micropatterns, the antifouling and antibacterial properties are gradually increasing with decreasing the size of micropatterns. Compared with PLA-PMPC/PDMC/PEGDA bearing positive and negative micropatterns in the same size, the PLA-PMPC/PDMC/PEGDA with negative micropatterns exhibits slightly better biological activity and the PLA-PMPC/PDMC/PEGDA with 3 μm negative hydrogel micropatterns shows the best hydrophilicity, antifouling, and antibacterial properties. Combining the in vitro hemolysis assay, cytotoxicity, water absorption test, and degradation test results, it is suggested that the fabrication of hydrogel micropatterns onto the PLA surface could significantly improve biological activities of PLA. We expect that this work would provide a new strategy to potentially develop PLA as a promising wound dressing.

Abstract
Bone and cartilage tissue engineering is an integrative approach that is inspired by the phenomena associated with wound healing. In this respect, growth factors have emerged as important moieties for the control and regulation of this process. Growth factors act as mediators and control the important physiological functions of bone regeneration. Herein, we discuss the importance of growth factors in bone and cartilage tissue engineering, their loading and delivery strategies, release kinetics, and their integration with biomaterials and stem cells to heal bone fractures. We also highlighted the role of growth factors in the determination of the bone tissue microenvironment based on the reciprocal signaling with cells and biomaterial scaffolds on which future bone and cartilage tissue engineering technologies and medical devices will be based upon.

Abstract
Accelerating the healing of bone fractures by local delivery of growth factors possessing osteoinductive activity has been extensively demonstrated. Unfortunately, for some complex clinical fractures, such as osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture, it is not possible to adopt such a strategy because of access restrictions. Systemic administration of growth factors is considered to be an appropriate alternative method due to its easy operability and precise spatiotemporal compatibility at fracture sites. But this therapy method was hampered by the poor in vivo stability, inefficient distribution at the fracture site and potential side effects of growth factors. To address these challenges, we conceived a systemic delivery platform of growth factors based on nanocapsules, taking advantage of the unique physiological character of bone fracture, i.e., the malformed blood vessels and the over-expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). In this work, bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and the bisacryloylated VPLGVRTK peptide were respectively used as the model growth factor, monomer, and MMP-cleavable crosslinker. Nanocapsules were formed by in situ free radical polymerization on the surface of BMP-2 with MPC and peptides. The structure and function of BMP-2 were well maintained during the preparation process. BMP-2 nanocapsules (n(BMP-2)) were of uniform small size (∼30 nm) possessing a long circulation time (half-life is ∼48 h) and could be passively targeted to the fracture site through malformed blood vessels after systemic administration. Once accumulated at the fracture site, the shells of nanocapsules could be degraded by MMP and thus BMP-2 was released. Animal experiments proved that n(BMP-2) showed a better ability of bone repair than native BMP-2. In addition, n(BMP-2) showed a much lower inflammatory irritation. The results demonstrated that the systemic administration of growth factor nanocapsules could enhance their in vivo stability and fracture site delivery efficiency, realizing the efficient repair of a bone fracture. This rational delivery system may expand the bone repair types which can be administered with growth factors. Furthermore, the concept of taking advantage of the malformed vascular structure to deliver drugs potentially inspires researchers for the therapy of other diseases, especially sudden disease (such as cerebral hemorrhage).

Abstract
Local administration of platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PGDF-BB) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in a sequential release manner could substantially promote bone healing. To achieve this goal, a delivery system that could sustain the release of PGDF-BB and BMP-2 by way of temporal separation was developed. One type of PGDF-BB-encapsulated alginate microsphere and another type of BMP-2-encapsulated microsphere with a core-shell structure were respectively produced using emulsification methods. These two types of microspheres were then embedded into chitosan/glycerophosphate hydrogel for constructing composite gels. Some of them were found to be injectable at ambient temperature and had thermo-sensitive features near physiological temperature and pH. The optimally formulated composite gels showed the ability to control the release of PGDF-BB and BMP-2 in a sequential fashion in which PDGF-BB was released earlier than BMP-2. In vitro release patterns indicated that the release rates could be significantly regulated by varying the embedded amount of the factor-encapsulated microspheres, which can in turn mediate the temporal separation release interval between PGDF-BB and BMP-2. The released PDGF-BB and BMP-2 were detected to be bioactive based on their respective effects on Balb/c 3T3 and C2C12 cells. These results suggest that the presently developed composite gels have the potential for bone repair by synergistically utilizing the early chemotactic effect of PDGF-BB and the subsequent osteogenic and angiogenic functions of PDGF-BB and BMP-2.

Abstract
In the current emerging trend of using human mesenchymal stromal cell (MSCs) for cell therapy, large quantities of cells are needed for clinical testing. Current methods of culturing cells, using tissue culture flasks or cell multilayer vessels, are proving to be ineffective in terms of cost, space and manpower. Therefore, alternatives such as large-scale industrialized production of MSCs in stirred tank bioreactors using microcarriers (MCs) are needed. Moreover, the development of biodegradable MCs for MSC expansion can streamline the bioprocess by eliminating the need for enzymatic cell harvesting and scaffold seeding for bone-healing therapies. Our previous studies described a process of making regulated density (1.06 g/cm3) porous polycaprolactone biodegradable MCs Light Polycarprolactone (LPCL) (MCs), which were used for expanding MSCs from various sources in stirred suspension culture. Here, we use human early MSCs (heMSCs) expanded on LPCL MCs for evaluation of their osteogenic differentiation potential in vitro as well as their use in vivo calvarial defect treatment in a rat model. In summary, (i) in vitro data show that LPCL MCs can be used to efficiently expand heMSCs in stirred cultures while maintaining surface marker expression; (ii) LPCL MCs can be used as scaffolds for cell transfer for transplantation in vivo; (iii) 50% sub-confluency, mid-logarithmic phase, on LPCL MCs (50% confluent) exhibited higher secretion levels of six cytokines (interleukin [IL]-6, IL-8, Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1 (MCP-1), growth-regulated oncogene-α (GRO-α) and stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α)) as compared with 100% confluent, stationary phase cultures (100% confluent); (iv) these 50% confluent cultures demonstrated better in vitro osteogenic differentiation capacity as compared with 100% confluent cultures (higher levels of calcium deposition and at earlier stage); the improved bone differentiation capacity of these 50% confluent cultures was also demonstrated at the molecular level by higher expression of early osteoblast genes Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type I, osterix and osteocalcin); and (v) in vivo implantation of biodegradable LPCL MCs covered with 50% heMSCs into rats with calvarial defect demonstrated significantly better bone formation as compared with heMSCs obtained from monolayer cultures (5.1 ± 1.6 mm3 versus 1.3 ± 0.7 mm3). Moreover, the LPCL MCs covered with 50% heMSCs supported better in vivo bone formation compared with 100% confluent culture (2.1 ± 1.3 mm3). Taken together, our study highlights the potential of implanting 50% confluent MSCs propagated on LPCL MCs as optimal for bone regeneration. This methodology allows for the production of large numbers of MSCs in a three-dimensional (3D) stirred reactor, while supporting improved bone healing and eliminating the need for a 3D matrix support scaffold, as traditionally used in bone-healing treatments.

Abstract
The development, maintenance of healthy bone and regeneration of injured tissue in the human body comprise a set of intricate and finely coordinated processes. However, an analysis of current bone regeneration strategies shows that only a small fraction of well-reported bone biology aspects has been used as inspiration and transposed into the development of therapeutic products. Specific topics that include inter-scale bone structural organization, developmental aspects of bone morphogenesis, bone repair mechanisms, role of specific cells and heterotypic cell contact in the bone niche (including vascularization networks and immune system cells), cell-cell direct and soluble-mediated contact, extracellular matrix composition (with particular focus on the non-soluble fraction of proteins), as well as mechanical aspects of native bone will be the main reviewed topics. In this Review we suggest a systematic parallelization of (i) fundamental well-established biology of bone, (ii) updated and recent advances on the understanding of biological phenomena occurring in native and injured tissue, and (iii) critical discussion of how those individual aspects have been translated into tissue regeneration strategies using biomaterials and other tissue engineering approaches. We aim at presenting a perspective on unexplored aspects of bone physiology and how they could be translated into innovative regeneration-driven concepts.

Abstract
In this study, nano-doped calcium phosphate cement delivery systems (poly (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium phosphate ceramics and nano (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium phosphate ceramic) were fabricated, and low doses (10 µg/g) of two growth factors, insulin-like growth factor-1 and bone morphogenetic protein-2, were encapsulated then sequentially released. We characterized the delivery systems using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction and measured washout resistance and compressive strength, and thus optimized the most appropriate proportioning of delivery systems for the two growth factors. One of the growth factors was absorbed by the nano-poly (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate, which was then mixed into the calcium phosphate ceramic solid phase to create a new solid phase calcium phosphate ceramic. Nano-poly (γ-glutamic acid)/β-tricalcium phosphate/calcium phosphate ceramic carriers were then prepared by blending the new calcium phosphate ceramic solid phase powder with a solution of the remaining growth factor. The effects of different release patterns (studying sequential behavior) of insulin-like growth factor-1 and bone morphogenetic protein-2 on osteogenic proliferation and differentiation of the MC3t3-E1 mouse osteoblast cell were investigated. This combinational delivery system provided a controlled release of the two growth factors, in which nano-doping significantly affected their release kinetics. The incorporation of dual growth factors could potentially stimulate bone healing and promoting bone ingrowth processes at a low dose.

Many animal species are capable of replacing missing tissues that are lost upon injury or amputation through the process of regeneration. Although the extent of regeneration is variable across animals, that is, some animals can regenerate any missing cell type whereas some can only regenerate certain organs or tissues, regulated cell proliferation underlies the formation of new tissues in most systems. Notably, many species display an increase in proliferation within hours or days upon wounding. While different cell types proliferate in response to wounding in various animal taxa, comparative molecular data are beginning to point to shared wound-induced mechanisms that regulate cell division during regeneration. Here, we synthesize current insights about early molecular pathways of regeneration from diverse model and emerging systems by considering these species in their evolutionary contexts. Despite the great diversity of mechanisms underlying injury-induced cell proliferation across animals, and sometimes even in the same species, similar pathways for proliferation have been implicated in distantly related species (e.g., small diffusible molecules, signaling from apoptotic cells, growth factor signaling, mTOR and Hippo signaling, and Wnt and Bmp pathways). Studies that explicitly interrogate molecular and cellular regenerative mechanisms in understudied animal phyla will reveal the extent to which early pathways in the process of regeneration are conserved or independently evolved. This article is categorized under: Comparative Development and Evolution > Body Plan Evolution Adult Stem Cells, Tissue Renewal, and Regeneration > Regeneration Comparative Development and Evolution > Model Systems.

Antibody-Mediated Osseous Regeneration for Bone Tissue Engineering in Canine Segmental Defects. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:9508721. [PMID: 29682573 PMCID: PMC5851338 DOI: 10.1155/2018/9508721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2017] [Revised: 12/16/2017] [Accepted: 01/16/2018] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
Among many applications of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), a unique approach for regenerative medicine has entailed antibody-mediated osseous regeneration (AMOR). In an effort to identify a clinically relevant model of craniofacial defect, the present study investigated the efficacy of mAb specific for bone morphogenetic protein- (BMP-) 2 to repair canine segmental mandibular continuity defect model. Accordingly, a 15 mm unilateral segmental defect was created in mandible and fixated with a titanium plate. Anorganic bovine bone mineral with 10% collagen (ABBM-C) was functionalized with 25 μg/mL of either chimeric anti-BMP-2 mAb or isotype-matched mAb (negative control). Recombinant human (rh) BMP-2 served as positive control. Morphometric analyses were performed on computed tomography (CT) and histologic images. Bone densities within healed defect sites at 12 weeks after surgery were 1360.81 ± 10.52 Hounsfield Unit (HU), 1044.27 ± 141.16 HU, and 839.45 ± 179.41 HU, in sites with implanted anti-BMP-2 mAb, rhBMP-2, and isotype mAb groups, respectively. Osteoid bone formation in anti-BMP-2 mAb (42.99% ± 8.67) and rhBMP-2 (48.97% ± 2.96) groups was not significantly different but was higher (p < 0.05) than in sites with isotype control mAb (26.8% ± 5.35). In view of the long-term objective of translational application of AMOR in humans, the results of the present study demonstrated the feasibility of AMOR in a large clinically relevant animal model.

Abstract
Recent studies revealed that sequential release of bone morphogenetic protein 2 and insulin-like growth factor 1 plays an important role in osteogenic process, suggesting that cytokines bone morphogenetic protein 2 and insulin-like growth factor 1 function in a time-dependent manner. However, the specific molecular mechanisms underlying these observations remained elusive, impeding the elaborate manipulation of cytokine sequential delivery in tissue repair. The aim of this study was to identify the key relevant pathways and processes regulating bone morphogenetic protein 2/insulin-like growth factor 1-mediated osteoblastic differentiation. Based on the microarray and proteomics data, and differentiation/growth status of mouse bone marrow stromal cells, we constructed a multiscale systems model to simulate the bone marrow stromal cells lineage commitment and bone morphogenetic protein 2 and insulin-like growth factor 1-regulated signaling dynamics. The accuracy of our model was validated using a set of independent experimental data. Our study reveals that, treatment of bone marrow stromal cells with bone morphogenetic protein 2 prior to insulin-like growth factor 1 led to the activation of transcription factor Runx2 through TAK1-p38 MAPK and SMAD1/5 signaling pathways and initiated the lineage commitment of bone marrow stromal cells. Delivery of insulin-like growth factor 1 four days after bone morphogenetic protein 2 treatment optimally activated transcription factors osterix and β-catenin through ERK and AKT pathways, which are critical to preosteoblast maturity. Our systems biology approach is expected to provide technical and scientific support in optimizing therapeutic scheme to improve osteogenesis/bone regeneration and other essential biological processes.

Abstract
Despite the advantages of three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels for cell culture over traditional 2D plates, their clinical application is limited by inability to recapitulate the micro-architecture of complex tissues. Micropatterning can be employed to modify the homogenous micro-architecture of hydrogels. Three techniques for cell encapsulation in 3D micropatterned gels are described. The photomask and micromold techniques are used for cell encapsulation in relatively shallow patterns like disks or short rectangles but due to the presence of PDMS mold, the resolution of micromold technique is potentially higher than the photomask. The microneedle technique is often used for cell encapsulation in relatively deep microchannels within any geometry.

Abstract
Collagen-based biomaterials are widely used in the field of tissue engineering; they can be loaded with biomolecules such as growth factors (GFs) to modulate the biological response of the host and thus improve its potential for regeneration. Recombinant chimeric GFs fused to a collagen-binding domain (CBD) have been reported to improve their bioavailability and the host response, especially when combined with an appropriate collagen-based biomaterial. This review first provides an extensive description of the various CBDs that have been fused to proteins, with a focus on the need for accurate characterization of their interaction with collagen. The second part of the review highlights the benefits of various CBD/GF fusion proteins that have been designed for wound healing and bone regeneration.

Abstract
A three-dimensional in vitro Matrigel plug was used as a model to explore delivery patterns of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) to a coculture of human mesenchymal and endothelial cells. While BMP-2 is well recognized for its role in promoting fracture healing through proliferation and differentiation of osteoclast precursors, it is not a growth factor known to promote the process of angiogenesis, which is also critical for complete bone tissue repair. PDGF, in contrast, is a known regulator of angiogenesis, and also a powerful chemoattractant for osteoblast precursor cells. It has been suggested that presentation of PDGF followed by BMP may better promote vascularized bone tissue formation. Yet, it is unclear as to how cells would respond to various durations of delivery of each growth factor as well as to various amounts of overlap in presentation in terms of angiogenesis. Using a three-dimensional in vitro Matrigel plug model, we observed how various presentation schedules of PDGF and BMP-2 influenced tubule formation by human mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical vascular endothelial cells. We observed that sequential presentation of PDGF to BMP-2 led to increased tubule formation over simultaneous delivery of these growth factors. Importantly, a 2-4 day overlap in the sequential presentation of PDGF and BMP-2 increased tubule formation as compared with groups with zero or complete growth factor overlap, suggesting that a moderate amount of angiogenic and osteogenic growth factor overlap may be beneficial for processes associated with angiogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The application of bone tissue engineering for repairing bone defects has gradually shown some satisfactory progress. One of the concerns raising scientific attention is the poor supply of growth factors. A number of growth factor delivery approaches have been developed for promoting bone formation. However, there is no systematic comparison of those approaches on efficiency of neobone formation. In this study, the approaches using periosteum, direct supply of growth factors, or gene transfection of growth factors were evaluated to determine the osteogenic capacity on the repair of bone defect. METHODS In total, 42 male 21-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 250 to 400 g were used as the bone defect model to evaluate the bone repair efficiency. Various tissue engineered constructs of poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(l-lactic acid) (PEG-PLLA) copolymer hydrogel with periosteum, with external supply of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP2), or with BMP2-transfected bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were filled in a 7-mm bone defect region. Animals were euthanized at 3 months, and the hydrogel constructs were harvested. The evaluation with histological staining and radiography analysis were performed for the volume of new bone formation. RESULTS The PEG-PLLA scaffold with BMMSCs promotes bone regeneration with the addition of periosteum. The group with BMP2-transfected BMMSCs demonstrated the largest volume of new bone among all the testing groups. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, the results of this study provide the evidence that the combination of PEG-PLLA hydrogels with BMMSCs and sustained delivery of BMP2 resulted in the maximal bone regeneration.

Abstract
To simultaneously control inflammation and facilitate dentin regeneration, a copolymeric micelle-in-microsphere platform is developed in this study, aiming to simultaneously release a hydrophobic drug to suppress inflammation and a hydrophilic biomolecule to enhance odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells in a distinctly controlled fashion. A series of chitosan-graft-poly(lactic acid) copolymers is synthesized with varying lactic acid and chitosan weight ratios, self-assembled into nanoscale micelle-like core-shell structures in an aqueous system, and subsequently crosslinked into microspheres through electrostatic interaction with sodium tripolyphosphate. A hydrophobic biomolecule either coumarin-6 or fluocinolone acetonide (FA) is encapsulated into the hydrophobic cores of the micelles, while a hydrophilic biomolecule either bovine serum albumin or bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is entrapped in the hydrophilic shells and the interspaces among the micelles. Both hydrophobic and hydrophilic biomolecules are delivered with distinct and tunable release patterns. Delivery of FA and BMP-2 simultaneously suppresses inflammation and enhances odontogenesis, resulting in significantly enhanced mineralized tissue regeneration. This result also demonstrates the potential for this novel delivery system to deliver multiple therapeutics and to achieve synergistic effects.

Abstract
Growth factors are very promising molecules to enhance bone regeneration. However, their translation to clinical use has been seriously limited, facing issues related to safety and cost-effectiveness. These problems derive from the vastly supra-physiological doses of growth factor used without optimized delivery systems. Therefore, these issues have motivated the development of new delivery systems allowing better control of the spatiotemporal release and signaling of growth factors. Because the extracellular matrix (ECM) naturally plays a fundamental role in coordinating growth factor activity in vivo, a number of novel delivery systems have been inspired by the growth factor regulatory function of the ECM. After introducing the role of growth factors during the bone regeneration process, this review exposes different issues that growth factor-based therapies have encountered in the clinic and highlights recent delivery approaches based on the natural interaction between growth factor and the ECM.

Abstract
Controlled release systems have been noted to allow drugs to enhance their ability for bone regeneration. To this end, various biomaterials have been used as the release carriers of drugs, such as low-molecular-weight drugs, growth factors, and others. The drugs are released from the release carriers in a controlled fashion to maintain their actions for a long time period. Most research has been focused on the controlled release of single drugs to demonstrate the therapeutic feasibility. Controlled release of two combined drugs, so-called dual release systems, are promising and important for tissue regeneration. This is because the tissue regeneration process of bone formation is generally achieved by multiple bioactive molecules, which are produced from cells by other molecules. If two types of bioactive molecules, (i.e., drugs), are supplied in an appropriate fashion, the regeneration process of living bodies will be efficiently promoted. This review focuses on the bone regeneration induced by dual-controlled release of drugs. In this paper, various dual-controlled release systems of drugs aiming at bone regeneration are overviewed explaining the type of drugs and their release materials.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a complex process, that in vivo, requires the highly coordinated presentation of biochemical cues to promote the various stages of angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Taking inspiration from the natural healing process, a wide variety of growth factors are currently being released within next generation tissue engineered scaffolds (in a variety of ways) in order to heal non-union fractures and bone defects. This review will focus on the delivery of multiple growth factors to the bone regeneration niche, specifically 1) dual growth factor delivery signaling and crosstalk, 2) the importance of growth factor timing and temporal separation, and 3) the engineering of delivery systems that allow for temporal control over presentation of soluble growth factors. Alternative methods for growth factor presentation, including the use of gene therapy and platelet-rich plasma scaffolds, are also discussed.

Musculoskeletal defects attributable to trauma or infection or as a result of oncologic surgery present a common challenge in reconstructive maxillofacial surgery. The autologous vascularized bone graft still represents the gold standard for salvaging these situations. Preoperative virtual planning offers great potential and provides assistance in reconstructive surgery. Nevertheless, the applicability of autologous bone transfer might be limited within the medically compromised patient or because of the complexity of the defect and the required size of the graft to be harvested. The development of alternative methods are urgently needed in the field of regenerative medicine to enable the regeneration of the original tissue. Since the first demonstration of de novo bone formation by regenerative strategies and the application of bone growth factors some decades ago, further progress has been achieved by tissue engineering, gene transfer, and stem cell application concepts. This review summarizes recent approaches and current developments in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Co-delivery strategy using multifunctional nanocarriers is an attractive option for the synergistic and enhanced effects in cancer treatment, but one system integrating multiple functions for controlled release at the target is still challenging. Herein, this study shows the synthesis and characterization of our stimulus-responsive co-delivery system for the controlled release into tumors, which is composed of polyethylenimine (PEI)-linked Pluronic F127 (PF127) and folic acid (FA), called PF127-PEI-FA. PF127-PEI-FA system facilitated drug loading and gene complex formation, and showed controlled release behaviors in response to hitting temperature to hyperthermia. PF127-PEI-FA system was demonstrated to be biocompatible and showed receptor-mediated gene delivery. The results of our multifunctional nanocarrier system that enabled co-delivery suggest a promising potential for controlled drug release at targeted areas. However, further in-depth studies on the use of therapeutic drugs and genes in multiple cell types and the animal response are required.

Emulating native periosteum cell population and subsequent paracrine factor production to promote tissue engineered periosteum-mediated allograft healing. Biomaterials 2015; 52:426-40.

Abstract
Emulating autograft healing within the context of decellularized bone allografts has immediate clinical applications in the treatment of critical-sized bone defects. The periosteum, a thin, osteogenic tissue that surrounds bone, houses a heterogenous population of stem cells and osteoprogenitors. There is evidence that periosteum-cell derived paracrine factors, specifically vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), orchestrate autograft healing through host cell recruitment and subsequent tissue elaboration. In previous work, we demonstrated that the use of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels as a tissue engineered (T.E.) periosteum to localize mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to the surface of decellularized bone enhances allograft healing and integration. Herein, we utilize a mixed population of 50:50 MSCs and osteoprogenitor cells to better mimic native periosteum cell population and paracrine factor production to further promote allograft healing. This mixed cell population was localized to the surface of decellularized allografts within degradable hydrogels and shown to expedite allograft healing. Specifically, bone callus formation and biomechanical graft-host integration are increased as compared to unmodified allografts. These results demonstrate the dual importance of periosteum-mediated paracrine factors orchestrating host cell recruitment as well as new bone formation while developing clinically translatable strategies for allograft healing and integration.

Abstract
Over the past decades, there has been a substantial amount of innovation and research into tissue engineering and regenerative approaches for the craniofacial region. This highly complex area presents many unique challenges for tissue engineers. Recent research indicates that various forms of implantable biodegradable scaffolds may play a beneficial role in the clinical treatment of craniofacial pathological conditions. Additionally, the direct delivery of bioactive molecules may further increase de novo bone formation. While these strategies offer an exciting glimpse into potential future treatments, there are several challenges that still must be overcome. In this chapter, we will highlight both current surgical approaches for craniofacial reconstruction and recent advances within the field of bone tissue engineering. The clinical challenges and limitations of these strategies will help contextualize and inform future craniofacial tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a well organized but complex physiological process, in which different cell types and their activated signaling pathways are involved. In bone regeneration and remodeling processes, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a crucial role, and their differentiation during these processes is regulated by specific signaling molecules (growth factors/cytokines and hormones) and their activated intracellular networks. Especially the utilization of the molecular machinery seems crucial to consider prior to developing bone implants, bone-substitute materials, and cell-based constructs for bone regeneration. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the signaling mechanisms involved in bone regeneration and remodeling and the osteogenic potential of MSCs to become a key cellular resource for such regeneration and remodeling processes. Additionally, an overview of possibilities to beneficially exploit cell signaling processes to optimize bone regeneration is provided.

Abstract
Bone vasculature plays a vital role in bone development, remodeling and homeostasis. New blood vessel formation is crucial during both primary bone development as well as fracture repair in adults. Both bone repair and bone remodeling involve the activation and complex interaction between angiogenic and osteogenic pathways. Interestingly studies have demonstrated that angiogenesis precedes the onset of osteogenesis. Indeed reduced or inadequate blood flow has been linked to impaired fracture healing and old age related low bone mass disorders such as osteoporosis. Similarly the slow penetration of host blood vessels in large engineered bone tissue grafts has been cited as one of the major hurdle still impeding current bone construction engineering strategies. This article reviews the current knowledge elaborating the importance of vascularization during bone healing and remodeling, and the current therapeutic strategies being adapted to promote and improve angiogenesis.

Abstract
Attempts to replicate native tissue architecture have led to the design of biomimetic scaffolds focused on improving functionality. In this study, biomimetic citrate-based poly (octanediol citrate)-click-hydroxyapatite (POC-Click-HA) scaffolds were developed to simultaneously replicate the compositional and architectural properties of native bone tissue while providing immediate structural support for large segmental defects following implantation. Biphasic scaffolds were fabricated with 70% internal phase porosity and various external phase porosities (between 5 and 50%) to mimic the bimodal distribution of cancellous and cortical bone, respectively. Biphasic POC-Click-HA scaffolds displayed compressive strengths up to 37.45 ± 3.83 MPa, which could be controlled through the external phase porosity. The biphasic scaffolds were also evaluated in vivo for the repair of 10-mm long segmental radial defects in rabbits and compared to scaffolds of uniform porosity as well as autologous bone grafts after 5, 10, and 15 weeks of implantation. The results showed that all POC-Click-HA scaffolds exhibited good biocompatibility and extensive osteointegration with host bone tissue. Biphasic scaffolds significantly enhanced new bone formation with higher bone densities in the initial stages after implantation. Biomechanical and histomorphometric analysis supported a similar outcome with biphasic scaffolds providing increased compression strength, interfacial bone ingrowth, and periosteal remodeling in early time points, but were comparable to all experimental groups after 15 weeks. These results confirm the ability of biphasic scaffold architectures to restore bone tissue and physiological functions in the early stages of recovery, and the potential of citrate-based biomaterials in orthopedic applications.
