Abstract
Mineralized tissues, such as bones or teeth, are essential structures of all vertebrates. They enable rapid movement, protection, and food processing, in addition to providing physiological functions. Although the development, regeneration, and pathogenesis of teeth and bones have been intensely studied, there is currently no tool to accurately follow the dynamics of growth and healing of these vital tissues in space and time. Here, we present the BEE-ST (Bones and tEEth Spatio-Temporal growth monitoring) approach, which allows precise quantification of development, regeneration, remodeling, and healing in any type of calcified tissue across different species. Using mouse teeth as model the turnover rate of continuously growing incisors was quantified, and role of hard/soft diet on molar root growth was shown. Furthermore, the dynamics of bones and teeth growth in lizards, frogs, birds, and zebrafish was uncovered. This approach represents an effective, highly reproducible, and versatile tool that opens up diverse possibilities in developmental biology, bone and tooth healing, tissue engineering, and disease modeling.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is nowadays a powerful tool to restore damaged tissues and recover their normal functionality. Advantages over other current methods are well established, although a continuous evolution is still necessary to improve the final performance and the range of applications. Trends are nowadays focused on the development of multifunctional scaffolds with hierarchical structures and the capability to render a sustained delivery of bioactive molecules under an appropriate stimulus. Nanocomposites incorporating hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp NPs) have a predominant role in bone tissue regeneration due to their high capacity to enhance osteoinduction, osteoconduction, and osteointegration, as well as their encapsulation efficiency and protection capability of bioactive agents. Selection of appropriated polymeric matrices is fundamental and consequently great efforts have been invested to increase the range of properties of available materials through copolymerization, blending, or combining structures constituted by different materials. Scaffolds can be obtained from different processes that differ in characteristics, such as texture or porosity. Probably, electrospinning has the greater relevance, since the obtained nanofiber membranes have a great similarity with the extracellular matrix and, in addition, they can easily incorporate functional and bioactive compounds. Coaxial and emulsion electrospinning processes appear ideal to generate complex systems able to incorporate highly different agents. The present review is mainly focused on the recent works performed with Hap-loaded scaffolds having at least one structural layer composed of core/shell nanofibers.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite/collagen (HAp/col) has been reported to be a highly useful bone-like nanocomposite. This study included 33 human patients to investigate the details of the clinical outcomes, which are (1) onset of timing of bone regeneration, (2) replacement by regenerated bone of HAp/col and (3) complications, in human cases grafting HAp/col in large bone defects, following curettage of bone tumors. Porous HAp/col initiated bone regeneration approximately 59 days following the surgery. In 15 cases (45%), complete replacement by newly formed bone was observed 12 months after surgery. On the other hand, incomplete replacement of HAp/col at the final follow-up was observed in 13 cases (39%). In these cases, HAp/col could not be detected in the transparent area of postoperative plain radiographs owing to quick absorption; moreover, it was difficult to distinguish whether the transparent area in plain radiographs was remaining HAp/col, recurrence, or remaining tumor. In addition, larger HAp/col implantation volume (≧15 cm3 ) was associated with poorer result of complete replacement (log-rank, p = .005). Further studies are warranted for the construction of a new artificial bone graft substitute that is more quickly and surely regenerated by newly formed bone in large bone defects.

Abstract
The global transplantation market size was valued at USD 8.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11.5% over the forecast period. The increasing demand for tissue transplantation has inspired researchers to find alternative approaches for making artificial tissues and organs function. The unique physicochemical and biological properties of biopolymers and the attractive structural characteristics of aerogels such as extremely high porosity, ultra low-density, and high surface area make combining these materials of great interest in tissue scaffolding and regenerative medicine applications. Numerous biopolymer aerogel scaffolds have been used to regenerate skin, cartilage, bone, and even heart valves and blood vessels by growing desired cells together with the growth factor in tissue engineering scaffolds. This review focuses on the principle of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and the role of biopolymer aerogel scaffolds in this field, going through the properties and the desirable characteristics of biopolymers and biopolymer tissue scaffolds in tissue engineering applications. The recent advances of using biopolymer aerogel scaffolds in the regeneration of skin, cartilage, bone, and heart valves are also discussed in the present review. Finally, we highlight the main challenges of biopolymer-based scaffolds and the prospects of using these materials in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Successful regeneration of large segmental bone defects remains a major challenge in clinical orthopedics, thus it is of important significance to fabricate a suitable alternative material to stimulate bone regeneration. Due to their excellent biocompatibility, sufficient mechanical strength, and similar structure and composition of natural bone, the mineralized collagen scaffolds (MCSs) have been increasingly used as bone substitutes via tissue engineering approaches. Herein, we thoroughly summarize the state of the art of MCSs as tissue-engineered scaffolds for acceleration of bone repair, including their fabrication methods, critical factors for osteogenesis regulation, current opportunities and challenges in the future. First, the current fabrication methods for MCSs, mainly including direct mineral composite, in-situ mineralization and 3D printing techniques, have been proposed to improve their biomimetic physical structures in this review. Meanwhile, three aspects of physical (mechanics and morphology), biological (cells and growth factors) and chemical (composition and cross-linking) cues are described as the critical factors for regulating the osteogenic feature of MCSs. Finally, the opportunities and challenges associated with MCSs as bone tissue-engineered scaffolds are also discussed to point out the future directions for building the next generation of MCSs that should be endowed with satisfactorily mimetic structures and appropriately biological characters for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Type I collagen and nanocrystalline-substituted hydroxyapatite are the major components of a natural composite—bone tissue. Both of these materials also play a significant role in orthopedic surgery and implantology; however, their separate uses are limited; apatite is quite fragile, while collagen’s mechanical strength is very poor. Therefore, in biomaterial engineering, a combination of collagen and hydroxyapatite is used, which provides good mechanical properties with high biocompatibility and osteoinduction. In addition, the porous structure of the composites enables their use not only as bone defect fillers, but also as a drug release system providing controlled release of drugs directly to the bone. This feature makes biomimetic collagen–apatite composites a subject of research in many scientific centers. The review focuses on summarizing studies on biological activity, tested in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
Carney Complex (CNC), a human genetic syndrome predisposing to multiple neoplasias, is associated with bone lesions such as osteochondromyxomas (OMX). The most frequent cause for CNC is PRKAR1A deficiency; PRKAR1A codes for type-I regulatory subunit of protein kinase A (PKA). Prkar1a(+/-) mice developed OMX, fibrous dysplasia-like lesions (FDL) and other tumors. Tumor tissues in these animals had increased PKA activity due to an unregulated PKA catalytic subunit and increased PKA type II (PKA-II) activity mediated by the PRKAR2A and PRKAR2B subunits. To better understand the effect of altered PKA activity on bone, we studied Prkar2a and Prkar2b knock out (KO) and heterozygous mice; none of these mice developed bone lesions. When Prkar2a(+/-) and Prkar2b(+/-) mice were used to generate Prkar1a(+/-)Prkar2a(+/-) and Prkar1a(+/-)Prkar2b(+/-) animals, bone lesions formed that looked like those of the Prkar1a(+/-) mice. However, better overall bone organization and mineralization and fewer FDL lesions were found in both double heterozygote groups, indicating a partial restoration of the immature bone structure observed in Prkar1a(+/-) mice. Further investigation indicated increased osteogenesis and higher new bone formation rates in both Prkar1a(+/-)Prkar2a(+/-) and Prkar1a(+/-)Prkar2b(+/-) mice with some minor differences between them. The observations were confirmed with a variety of markers and studies. PKA activity measurements showed the expected PKA-II decrease in both double heterozygote groups. Thus, haploinsufficiency for either of PKA-II regulatory subunits improved bone phenotype of mice haploinsufficient for Prkar1a, in support of the hypothesis that the PRKAR2A and PRKAR2B regulatory subunits were in part responsible for the bone phenotype of Prkar1a(+/-) mice.

Abstract
The development of new osteoconductive bone substitute materials is expected in medicine. In this study, we attempted to produce new hydroxylapatite (HAP)/collagen (Col) composites using two HAP particles of different sizes and porcine type I collagen. The two HAP particles were either nano-sized (40 nm in average diameter; n-HAP) or had macro-pore sizes of 0.5–1.0 mm in length with fully interconnected pores (m-HAP). The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of apatite particle size in two HAP/Col composites on the osteogenic differentiation profile in osteoblast-like cells (SaOS-2). We created a collagen control sponge (Col) and two HAP/Col composite sponges (n-HAP/Col and m-HAP/Col) using freeze-drying and dehydrothermal cross-linking techniques, and then punched out samples of 6 mm in diameter and 1 mm in height. The SaOS-2 cells were cultured on three test materials for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. Total RNA was extracted from the cultured cells and the expression of osteogenic differentiation-related genes was evaluated by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) using primer sets of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), type 1 collagen (COL1), bone sialoprotein (BSP) and osteocalcin precursor [bone gamma-carboxyglutamate (gla) protein (BGLAP)] genes, as well as the β-actin gene. The cells were also cultured on Col, n-HAP/Col and m-HAP/Col specimens for 1 and 4 weeks, and were then observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The experimental results were as follows: RT-PCR indicated that osteogenic differentiation, particularly the gene expression of BSP, was most accelerated when the cells were cultured on n-HAP/Col specimens, followed by m-HAP/Col, whilst the weakest accelaeration was observed when the cells were cultured on Col specimens. As shown by the SEM images, the SaOS-2 cells were fibroblastic when cultured on Col specimens for up to 4 weeks; they were fibroblastic when cultured on n-HAP/Col specimens for 1 week, but appeared as spheroids, while actively phagocytizing n-HAP particles at 4 weeks; however, they appeared as deformed fibroblasts when cultured on m-HAP/Col specimens, detached from the particles. Despite limited experimental results, our study suggests that n-HAP/Col may be employed as a new osteoconductive bone substitute material.

Abstract
Even though synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAp) has a chemical composition similar to the mineral phase of bone, it is minimally absorbed and replaced by bone tissue. This could be because HAp is composed of compactly arranged apatite crystals with homogenously large grains. In this study, the surface and non-stoichiometry of the synthetic HAp crystals was modified by partial dissolution and precipitation (PDP) to improve bioabsorbability of HAp. In vitro cell culture demonstrated that more osteoclasts were activated on PDP-HAp compared with HAp. In vivo implantation using a rabbit bone defect model revealed that PDP-HAp was gradually degraded and was replaced by bone tissue. Consistent with the in vitro results, more osteoclasts were activated in PDP-HAp than in HAp, indicating that the former was absorbed through the stimulation of osteoclastic activity. These results suggest that the PDP technique may have clinical utility for modifying synthetic HAp for use as superior bone graft substitutes.

Abstract
The fracture of bones and large bone defects owing to various traumas or natural ageing is a typical type of tissue malfunction. Surgical treatment frequently requires implantation of a temporary or permanent prosthesis, which is still a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, especially in the case of large bone defects. Mimicking nanotopography of natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is advantageous for the successful regeneration of damaged tissues or organs. Electrospun nanofibre-based synthetic and natural polymer scaffolds are being explored as a scaffold similar to natural ECM for tissue engineering applications. Nanostructured materials are smaller in size falling, in the 1-100 nm range, and have specific properties and functions related to the size of the natural materials (e.g. hydroxyapatite (HA)). The development of nanofibres with nano-HA has enhanced the scope of fabricating scaffolds to mimic the architecture of natural bone tissue. Nanofibrous substrates supporting adhesion, proliferation, differentiation of cells and HA induce the cells to secrete ECM for mineralization to form bone in bone tissue engineering. Our laboratory (NUSNNI, NUS) has been fabricating a variety of synthetic and natural polymer-based nanofibrous substrates and synthesizing HA for blending and spraying on nanofibres for generating artificial ECM for bone tissue regeneration. The present review is intended to direct the reader's attention to the important subjects of synthetic and natural polymers with HA for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Regeneration of fractured or diseased bones is the challenge faced by current technologies in tissue engineering. The major solid components of human bone consist of collagen and hydroxyapatite. Collagen (Col) and hydroxyapatite (HA) have potential in mimicking natural extracellular matrix and replacing diseased skeletal bones. More attention has been focused on HA because of its crystallographic structure similar to inorganic compound found in natural bone and extensively investigated due to its excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity and osteoconductivity properties. In the present study, electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds are fabricated with collagen (80 mg/ml) and Col/HA (1:1). The diameter of the collagen nanofibers is around 265 +/- 0.64 nm and Col/HA nanofibers are 293 +/- 1.45 nm. The crystalline HA (29 +/- 7.5 nm) loaded into the collagen nanofibers are embedded within nanofibrous matrix of the scaffolds. Osteoblasts cultured on both scaffolds and show insignificant level of proliferation but mineralization was significantly (p < 0.001) increased to 56% in Col/HA nanofibrous scaffolds compared to collagen. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) spectroscopy results proved the presence of higher level of calcium and phosphorous in Col/HA nanocomposites than collagen nanofibrous scaffolds grown osteoblasts. The results of the present study suggested that the designed electrospun nanofibrous scaffold (Col/HA) have potential biomaterial for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) based coatings on titanium alloy Ti6Al4V were attempted by sol-gel process. Precursor sol was dip-coated onto the substrates and the formation of HAP as the main phase was ensured after the sintering of coatings at 900 degrees C, as confirmed by the characterization studies involving XRD, FT-IR, Raman, and SEM-EDXS analysis. The biocompatibility of HAP-based coated titanium implants was tested by implantation studies in rabbit's tibia for a period of 8 weeks. Bone remodelling and inflammatory responses of the implants were studied during the implantation period. The better tissue-implant interaction of the coated implants with respect to the uncoated implants was observed after a defect healing period of 8 weeks. A coated implant with no evidence of rejection is a further advantage of the sol-gel derived HAP coating.

Abstract
The nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste Ostim represents a fully degradable synthetic bone substitute for the filling of bone defects. Herein, we investigated in vivo the inflammatory and angiogenic host tissue response to this biomaterial after implantation. For this purpose, Ostim was implanted into the dorsal skinfold chambers of Syrian golden hamsters. The hydroxyapatite ceramic Cerabone and isogeneic transplanted cancellous bone served as controls. Angiogenesis, microhemodynamics, microvascular permeability, and leukocyte-endothelial cell interaction of the host tissue were analyzed over 2 weeks using intravital fluorescence microscopy. Ostim exhibited good biocompatibility comparable to that of Cerabone and cancellous bone, as indicated by a lack of venular leukocyte activation after implantation. Cancellous bone induced a more pronounced angiogenic response and an increased microvessel density when compared with the synthetic bone substitutes. In contrast to Cerabone, however, Ostim showed a guided neovascularization directed toward areas of degradation. Histology confirmed the ingrowth of proliferating vascularized tissue into the hydroxyapatite paste at sites of degradation, while the hydroxyapatite ceramic was not pierced by new microvessels. Thus, Ostim represents an injectable synthetic bone substitute, which may optimize the conditions for the formation of new bone at sites of bone defects by supporting a guided vascularization during biodegradation.

Abstract
Abstract
It has not been previously possible to observe bone formation in undecalcified sections with titanium implants at high magnification because of the difficulty in sectioning bone together with implants. A method for examining the bone-implant interface in undecalcified sections is described in which implants are left in situ and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is used to examine both the implant surface and adjacent bone. Pulsing of animals at different times with the fluorescent dyes calcein and alizarin red permitted assessment of temporal patterns of bone formation by CLSM. Reflectivity of the polished implant surface permitted accurate assessment of the position of the implant relative to labeled bone. The analysis showed that bone first formed as thin processes towards and across the implant surface, followed by further bone formation behind these processes. The interface between calcified bone tissue and the implant surface was characterized by a 10-μm space. The CLSM technique enabled detailed observations of new bone formation at the titanium implant interface.
