Abstract
The objective of the present study was to evaluate the carbon fiber obtained from textile PAN fiber, in its different forms, as a potential scaffolds synthetic bone. Thirty-four adult rats were used (Rattus norvegicus, albinus variation), two critical sized bone defects were made that were 5 mm in diameter. Twenty-four animals were randomly divided into four groups: control (C)-bone defect + blood clot, non-activated carbon fiber felt (NACFF)-bone defect + NACFF, activated carbon fiber felt (ACFF)-bone defect + ACFF, and silver activated carbon fiber felt (Ag-ACFF)-bone defect + Ag-ACFF, and was observed by 15 and 60 days for histomorphometric, three-dimensional computerized microtomography (microCT) and mineral apposition analysis. On histomorphometric and microCT analyses, NACFF were associated with higher proportion of neoformed bone and maintenance of bone structure. On fluorochrome bone label, there was no differences between the groups. NACFF has shown to be a promising synthetic material as a scaffold for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Maxillofacial bone defects caused by congenital malformations, trauma, tumors, and inflammation can severely affect functions and aesthetics of maxillofacial region. Despite certain successful clinical applications of biomaterial scaffolds, ideal bone regeneration remains a challenge in maxillofacial region due to its irregular shape, complex structure, and unique biological functions. Scaffolds that address multiple needs of maxillofacial bone regeneration are under development to optimize bone regeneration capacity, costs, operational convenience. etc. In this review, we first highlight the special considerations of bone regeneration in maxillofacial region and provide an overview of the biomaterial scaffolds for maxillofacial bone regeneration under clinical examination and their efficacy, which provide basis and directions for future scaffold design. Latest advances of these scaffolds are then discussed, as well as future perspectives and challenges. Deepening our understanding of these scaffolds will help foster better innovations to improve the outcome of maxillofacial bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Skeletal problems are an increasing issue due to the increase in the global aging population. Different statistics reports show that today, the global population is aging that results in skeletal problems, increased health system costs, and even higher mortality associated with skeletal problems. Common treatments such as surgery and bone grafts are not always effective and in some cases, they can even cause secondary problems such as infections or improper repair. Cell therapy is a method that can be utilized along with common treatments independently. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a very important and efficient source in terms of different diseases, especially bone problems. These cells are present in different tissues such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord, placenta, dental pulp, peripheral blood, amniotic fluid and others. Among the types of MSCs, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are the most widely used source of these cells, which have appeared to be very effective and promising in terms of skeletal diseases, especially compared to the other sources of MSCs. This study focuses on the specific potential and content of BMMSCs from which the specific capacity of these cells originates, and compares their osteogenic potential with other types of MSCs, and also the future directions in the application of BMMSCs as a source for cell therapy.

Abstract
With the ability to produce components with complex and precise structures, additive manufacturing or 3D printing techniques are now widely applied in both industry and consumer markets. The emergence of tissue engineering has facilitated the application of 3D printing in the field of biomedical implants. 3D printed implants with proper structural design can not only eliminate the stress shielding effect but also improve in vivo biocompatibility and functionality. By combining medical images derived from technologies such as X-ray scanning, CT, MRI, or ultrasonic scanning, 3D printing can be used to create patient-specific implants with almost the same anatomical structures as the injured tissues. Numerous clinical trials have already been conducted with customized implants. However, the limited availability of raw materials for printing and a lack of guidance from related regulations or laws may impede the development of 3D printing in medical implants. This review provides information on the current state of 3D printing techniques in orthopedic implant applications. The current challenges and future perspectives are also included.

Abstract
Mandibular defect becomes a prevalent maxillofacial disease resulting in mandibular dysfunctions and huge psychological burdens to the patients. Considering the routine presence of oral contaminations and aesthetic restoration of facial structures, the current clinical treatments are however limited, incapable to reconstruct the structural integrity and regeneration, spurring the need for cost-effective mandibular tissue engineering. Hydrogel systems possess great merit for mandibular reconstruction with precise involvement of cells and bioactive factors. In this review, current clinical treatments and distinct mode(s) of mandible formation and pathological resorption are summarized, followed by a review of hydrogel-related mandibular tissue engineering, and an update on the advanced fabrication of hydrogels with improved mechanical property, antibacterial ability, injectable form, and 3D bioprinted hydrogel constructs. The exploration of advanced hydrogel systems will lay down a solid foundation for a bright future with more biocompatible, effective, and personalized treatment in mandibular reconstruction.

Abstract
Titanium and titanium alloy implants are essential for bone tissue regeneration engineering. The current trend is toward the manufacture of implants from materials that mimic the structure, composition and elasticity of bones. Titanium and titanium alloy implants, the most common materials for implants, can be used as a bone conduction material but cannot promote osteogenesis. In clinical practice, there is a high demand for implant surfaces that stimulate bone formation and accelerate bone binding, thus shortening the implantation-to-loading time and enhancing implantation success. To avoid stress shielding, the elastic modulus of porous titanium and titanium alloy implants must match that of bone. Micro-arc oxidation technology has been utilized to increase the surface activity and build a somewhat hard coating on porous titanium and titanium alloy implants. More recently, a growing number of researchers have combined micro-arc oxidation with hydrothermal, ultrasonic, and laser treatments, coatings that inhibit bacterial growth, and acid etching with sand blasting methods to improve bonding to bone. This paper summarizes the reaction at the interface between bone and implant material, the porous design principle of scaffold material, MAO technology and the combination of MAO with other technologies in the field of porous titanium and titanium alloys to encourage their application in the development of medical implants.

Abstract
Employing scaffolds containing cell–derived extracellular matrix (ECM) as an alternative strategy for the regeneration of bone defects has shown prominent advantages. Here, gelatin (Gel), sodium alginate (SA) and 58s bioactive glass (58sBG) were incorporated into deionized water to form ink, which was further fabricated into composite scaffolds by the 3D printing technique. Then, rat aortic endothelial cells (RAOECs) or rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (RBMSCs) were seeded on the scaffolds. After decellularization, two kinds of ECM–loaded scaffolds (RAOECs–ECM scaffold and RBMSCs–ECM scaffold) were obtained. The morphological characteristics of the scaffolds were assessed meticulously by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the effects of scaffolds on the proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of RBMSCs were evaluated by Calcein AM staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR). In vivo, full–thickness bone defects with a diameter of 5 mm were made in the mandibles of Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats to assess the bone regeneration ability and biosafety of the scaffolds at 4, 8 and 16 weeks. The osteogenic and angiogenic potential of the scaffolds were investigated by microcomputed tomography (Micro–CT) and histological analysis. The biosafety of the scaffolds was evaluated by blood biochemical indices and histological staining of the liver, kidney and cerebrum. The results showed that the ECM–loaded scaffolds were successfully prepared, exhibiting interconnected pores and a gel–like ECM distributed on their surfaces. Consistently, in vitro experiments demonstrated that the scaffolds displayed favourable cytocompatibility. In vitro osteogenic differentiation studies showed that scaffolds coated with ECM could significantly increase the expression of osteogenic and angiogenic genes. In addition, the results from mandibular defect repair in vivo revealed that the ECM–loaded scaffolds effectively promoted the healing of bone defects when compared to the pure scaffold. Overall, these findings demonstrate that both RAOECs–ECM scaffold and RBMSCs–ECM scaffold can greatly enhance bone formation with good biocompatibility and thus have potential for clinical application in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bioprinting stem cells into three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds has emerged as a new avenue for regenerative medicine, bone tissue engineering, and biosensor manufacturing in recent years. Mesenchymal stem cells, such as adipose-derived and bone-marrow-derived stem cells, are capable of multipotent differentiation in a 3D culture. The use of different printing methods results in varying effects on the bioprinted stem cells with the appearance of no general adverse effects. Specifically, extrusion, inkjet, and laser-assisted bioprinting are three methods that impact stem cell viability, proliferation, and differentiation potential. Each printing method confers advantages and disadvantages that directly influence cellular behavior. Additionally, the acquisition of 3D bioprinters has become more prominent with innovative technology and affordability. With accessible technology, custom 3D bioprinters with capabilities to print high-performance bioinks are used for biosensor fabrication. Such 3D printed biosensors are used to control conductivity and electrical transmission in physiological environments. Once printed, the scaffolds containing the aforementioned stem cells have a significant impact on cellular behavior and differentiation. Natural polymer hydrogels and natural composites can impact osteogenic differentiation with some inducing chondrogenesis. Further studies have shown enhanced osteogenesis using cell-laden scaffolds in vivo. Furthermore, selective use of biomaterials can directly influence cell fate and the quantity of osteogenesis. This review evaluates the impact of extrusion, inkjet, and laser-assisted bioprinting on adipose-derived and bone-marrow-derived stem cells along with the effect of incorporating these stem cells into natural and composite biomaterials.

Abstract
Owing to their excellent biocompatibility and corrosion-resistant properties, titanium (Ti) (and its alloy) are essential artificial substitute biomaterials for orthopedics. However, flaws, such as weak osteogenic induction ability and higher Young's modulus, have been observed during clinical application. As a result, short- and long-term postoperative follow-up has found that several complications have occurred. For decades, scientists have exerted efforts to compensate for these deficiencies. Different modification methods have been investigated, including changing alloy contents, surface structure transformation, three-dimensional (3D) structure transformation, coating, and surface functionalization technologies. The cell-surface interaction effect and imitation of the natural 3D bone structure are the two main mechanisms of these improved methods. In recent years, significant progress has been made in materials science research methods, including thorough research of titanium alloys of different compositions, precise surface pattern control technology, controllable 3D structure construction technology, improvement of coating technologies, and novel concepts of surface functionalization. These improvements facilitate the possibility for further research in the field of bone tissue engineering. Although the underlying mechanism is still not fully understood, these studies still have some implications for clinical practice. Therefore, for the direction of further research, it is beneficial to summarize these studies according to the basal method used. This literature review aimed to classify these technologies, thereby providing beginners with a preliminary understanding of the field.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of β‑receptor blocker propranolol on early osseointegration of pure titanium implants and the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms. An implant osseointegration model using the tibial metaphysis of New Zealand rabbits was established. The rabbits were divided into control and low‑, medium‑ and high‑dose propranolol groups. The formation of implant osseointegration was detected by X‑ray scanning. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and osteoblasts (OBs) were isolated and cultured in vitro, isoproterenol was supplemented to simulate sympathetic action and propranolol was subsequently administrated. The effect of propranolol on cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were assessed by EdU, flow cytometry, alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) detection. The expression levels of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)2, RUNX family transcription factor (RunX)2, collagen (COL)‑1, osteocalcin (OCN) and β2‑adrenergic receptor (AR) were detected by immunofluorescence, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blot assay. Propranolol effectively promoted implant osseointegration in vivo, facilitated proliferation of OBs, inhibited proliferation of MSCs and enhanced osteogenic differentiation of OBs and MSCs. The calcium content and ALP activity of cells treated with propranolol were markedly higher than in the control group. Propranolol also elevated mRNA and protein expression levels of BMP2, RunX2, COL‑1 and OCN in tissue and cells, and decreased the expression of β2‑AR. The present study demonstrated that the β‑receptor blocker propranolol promoted osteogenic differentiation of OBs and MSCs and enhanced implant osseointegration. The present study provided a novel insight into the application and regulatory mechanisms of propranolol.

J Cell Mol Med 2021; 25:6634-6651.

Abstract
Available therapies aimed at treating age‐related osteoporosis are still insufficient. Therefore, designing reliable in vitro model for the analysis of molecular mechanisms underlying senile osteoporosis is highly required. We have isolated and characterized progenitor cells isolated from bone marrow (BMSCs) of osteoporotic mice strain SAM/P6 (BMSCSAM/P6). The cytophysiology of BMSCSAM/P6 was for the first time compared with BMSCs isolated from healthy BALB/c mice (BMSCBALB/c). Characterization of the cells included evaluation of their multipotency, morphology and determination of specific phenotype. Viability of BMSCs cultures was determined in reference to apoptosis profile, metabolic activity, oxidative stress, mitochondrial membrane potential and caspase activation. Additionally, expression of relevant biomarkers was determined with RT‐qPCR. Obtained results indicated that BMSCSAM/P6 and BMSCBALB/c show the typical phenotype of mesenchymal stromal cells (CD44+, CD73+, CD90+) and do not express CD45. Further, BMSCSAM/P6 were characterized by deteriorated multipotency, decreased metabolic activity and increased apoptosis occurrence, accompanied by elevated oxidative stress and mitochondria depolarisation. The transcriptome analyses showed that BMSCSAM/P6 are distinguished by lowered expression of molecules crucial for proper osteogenesis, including Coll‐1, Opg and Opn. However, the expression of Trap, DANCR1 and miR‐124‐3p was significantly up‐regulated. Obtained results show that BMSCSAM/P6 present features of progenitor cells with disturbed metabolism and could serve as appropriate model for in vitro investigation of age‐dependent osteoporosis.

[PMID: 33947578 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Porous scaffolds have been widely used for bone tissue engineering (BTE), and the pore structure of scaffolds plays an important role in osteogenesis. Silk fibroin (SF) is a favorable biomaterial for BTE due to its excellent mechanical property, biocompatibility, and biodegradation, but the lack of cell attachment sites in SF chemical structure resulted in poor cell-material interactions. In this study, SF scaffolds were coated with fibronectin/gelatin (Fn/G) to improve cell adhesion. Furthermore, the effect of pore size in Fn/G coated SF scaffolds on osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were investigated in vitro. Scaffolds with average pore diameters of 384.52, 275.23, and 173.8 μm were prepared by salt leaching method, labelled as Large, Medium, and Small group. Porcine BMSCs were seeded on scaffolds and cultured in osteogenic medium for 21 days to evaluate cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium deposition, gene expression of osteogenic markers, and histological performance. The results showed Fn/G coating effectively improved cell adhesion on SF scaffolds. Cell metabolic rate in each group increased significantly with time, but there was no statistical difference at each time point among the three groups. On day 21, ALP/DNA and calcium/DNA in the Small group were significantly higher than those in the Large group. Among the three pore sizes, the Small group showed higher mRNA expression of COl I on day 7, OPN on day 14, and OCN on day 21. Immunohistochemical staining on day 21 showed that Col I and OCN in Small group were more highly expressed. In conclusion, the Fn/G coated SF scaffolds with a mean pore diameter of 173.8 μm was optimal for osteogenic differentiation of BMSC in vitro.

Abstract
The process of evaluating the efficacy and toxicity of drugs is important in the production of new drugs to treat diseases. Testing in humans is the most accurate method, but there are technical and ethical limitations. To overcome these limitations, various models have been developed in which responses to various external stimuli can be observed to help guide future trials. In particular, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has a great advantage in simulating the physical and biological functions of tissues in the human body. This article reviews the biomaterials currently used to improve cellular functions in 3D culture and the contributions of 3D culture to cancer research, stem cell culture and drug and toxicity screening.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) possess potential of bone formation and were proposed as ideal material against osteoporosis. Although interrogation of directing effect on lineage specification by physical cues has been proposed, how mechanical stimulation impacts intracellular viscoelasticity during osteogenesis remained enigmatic. Cyto-friendly 3D matrix was prepared with polyacrylamide and conjugated fibronectin. The hMSCs were injected with fluorescent beads and chemically-induced toward osteogenesis. The mechanical properties were assessed using video particle tracking microrheology. Inverted epifluorescence microscope was exploited to capture the Brownian trajectory of hMSCs. Mean square displacement was calculated and transformed into intracellular viscoelasticity. Two different stiffness of microspheres (12 kPa, 1 kPa) were established. A total of 45 cells were assessed. hMSCs possessed equivalent mechanical traits initially in the first week, while cells cultured in rigid matrix displayed significant elevation over elastic (G′) and viscous moduli (G″) on day 7 (p < 0.01) and 14 (p < 0.01). However, after two weeks, soft niches no longer stiffened hMSCs, whereas the effect by rigid substrates was consistently during the entire differentiation course. Stiffness of matrix impacted the viscoelasticity of hMSCs. Detailed recognition of how microenvironment impacts mechanical properties and differentiation of hMSCs will facilitate the advancement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Understanding how cancer cells migrate, and how this migration is affected by the mechanical and chemical composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is critical to investigate and possibly interfere with the metastatic process, which is responsible for most cancer-related deaths. In this article we review the state of the art about the use of hydrogel-based three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds as artificial platforms to model the mechanobiology of cancer cell migration. We start by briefly reviewing the concept and composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the materials commonly used to recreate the cancerous ECM. Then we summarize the most relevant knowledge about the mechanobiology of cancer cell migration that has been obtained using 3D hydrogel scaffolds, and relate those discoveries to what has been observed in the clinical management of solid tumors. Finally, we review some recent methodological developments, specifically the use of novel bioprinting techniques and microfluidics to create realistic hydrogel-based models of the cancer ECM, and some of their applications in the context of the study of cancer cell migration.

Abstract
Bone is a regenerative organ characterized by self-renewal ability. Indeed, it is a very dynamic tissue subjected to continuous remodeling in order to preserve its structure and function. However, in clinical practice, impaired bone healing can be observed in patients and medical intervention is needed to regenerate the tissue via the use of natural bone grafts or synthetic bone grafts. The main elements required for tissue engineering include cells, growth factors and a scaffold material to support them. Three different materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) can be used to create a scaffold suitable for bone regeneration. Several cell types have been investigated in combination with biomaterials. In this review, we describe the options available for bone regeneration, focusing on tissue engineering strategies based on the use of different biomaterials combined with cells and growth factors.

Abstract
As populations age across the world, osteoporosis and osteoporosis-related fractures are becoming the most prevalent degenerative bone diseases. More than 75 million patients suffer from osteoporosis in the USA, the EU and Japan. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the number of patients affected by osteoporosis will increase by a third by 2050. Although conventional therapies including bisphosphonates, calcitonin and oestrogen-like drugs can be used to treat degenerative diseases of the bone, they are often associated with serious side effects including the development of oesophageal cancer, ocular inflammation, severe musculoskeletal pain and osteonecrosis of the jaw.The use of autologous mesenchymal stromal cells/mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a possible alternative therapeutic approach to tackle osteoporosis while overcoming the limitations of traditional treatment options. However, osteoporosis can cause a decrease in the numbers of MSCs, induce their senescence and lower their osteogenic differentiation potential.Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture is an emerging technology that allows a more physiological expansion and differentiation of stem cells compared to cultivation on conventional flat systems.This review will discuss current understanding of the effects of different 3D cell culture systems on proliferation, viability and osteogenic differentiation, as well as on the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory potential of MSCs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Angiogenesis is an essential step in tissue engineering. MSC exosomes play an important role in angiogenesis. Functional biomolecules in exosomes vested by the culture microenvironment can be transferred to recipient cells and affects their effect. 3D culture can improve the proliferation and activity of MSCs. However, whether exosomes derived from 3D culture of MSCs have an enhanced effect on angiogenesis is unclear. METHODS Herein, we compared the bioactivity of exosomes produced by conventional 2D culture (2D-exos) and 3D culture (3D-exos) of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) in angiogenesis. RESULTS A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments indicated that 3D-exos exhibited stronger effects on HUVEC cell proliferation, migration, tube formation, and in vivo angiogenesis compared with 2D-exos. Moreover, the superiority of 3D-exos might be attributed to the activation of HMGB1/AKT signaling. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that exosomes from 3D culture of MSCs may serve as a potential therapeutic approach for pro-angiogenesis.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have drawn lots of attention as gold standard stem cells in fundamental and clinical researches during the last 20 years. Due to their tissue and vascular repair capacities, MSCs have been used to treat a variety of degenerative disorders. Moreover, MSCs are able to modulate immune cells’ functions, particularly T cells while inducing regulatory T cells (iTregs). MSCs are very sensitive to inflammatory signals. Their biological functions could remarkably vary after exposure to different pro-inflammatory cytokines, notably TNFα. In this article, we have explored the importance of TNFR2 expression in a series of MSCs’ biological and functional properties. Thus, MSCs from wild-type (WT) and TNFR2 knockout (TNFR2 KO) mice were isolated and underwent several ex vivo experiments to investigate the biological significance of TNFR2 molecule in MSC main functions. Hampering in TNFR2 signaling resulted in reduced MSC colony-forming units and proliferation rate and diminished the expression of all MSC characteristic markers such as stem cell antigen-1 (Sca1), CD90, CD105, CD44, and CD73. TNFR2 KO-MSCs produced more pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNFα, IFNγ, and IL-6 and less anti-inflammatory mediators such as IL-10, TGFβ, and NO and induced Tregs with less suppressive effect. Furthermore, the TNFR2 blockade remarkably decreased MSC regenerative functions such as wound healing, complex tube formation, and endothelial pro-angiogenic support. Therefore, our results reveal the TNFα–TNFR2 axis as a crucial regulator of MSC immunological and regenerative functions.

Abstract
Mimicking the complex hierarchical architecture of the 'osteon', the functional unit of cortical bone, from the bottom-up offers the possibility of generating mature bone tissue in tissue engineered bone substitutes. In this work, a modular 'bottom-up' approach has been developed to assemble bone niche-mimicking nanocomposite scaffolds composed of aligned electrospun nanofibers of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) encapsulating aligned rod-shape nano-sized hydroxyapatite (nHA). By encoding axial orientation of the nHA within these aligned nanocomposite fibers, significant improvements in mechanical properties, surface roughness, hydrophilicity and in vitro simulated body fluid (SBF) mineral deposition were achieved. Moreover, these hierarchical scaffolds induced robust formation of bone hydroxyapatite and osteoblastic maturation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) in growth media that was absent of any soluble osteogenic differentiation factors. The results of this investigation confirm that these tailored, aligned nanocomposite fibers, in the absence of media-bone inductive factors, offer the requisite biophysical and biochemical cues to hBMSCs to promote and support their differentiation into mature osteoblast cells and form early bone-like tissue in vitro.

Abstract
Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells used for bone regeneration. However, the current osteogenically induced methods for iPSCs are slow and complex. We have used retinoic acid (RA) to induce osteogenic iPSCs within 10 days and assess whether a rapid differentiation could improve the osteogenic potential of the three-dimensionally printed Ti6Al4V (3DTi) scaffolds. First, the osteogenic differentiation of iPSCs was induced with RA, and the osteogenic potential of iPSCs was evaluated using standard assays. In addition, a 5-mm mandibular bone defect was generated in rats and was repaired with 3DTi scaffolds that were seeded with iPSC-induced osteoblasts. The capacity of seeded scaffolds for the enhancement of bone regeneration in vivo was assessed. Finally, we tested the potential mechanisms of RA-dependent iPSC bone induction and its effect on the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The results showed that iPSCs could form osteocytes within 10 days. Animal experiments confirmed that rapid osteo-induced iPSCs could enhance the bone regeneration and osteointegration capacity of the 3DTi scaffolds. Mechanistically, RA could activate the AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway during the process of iPSCs osteogenesis. The rapid osteoinduction of iPSCs combined with 3DTi scaffolds is a safe, effective, and reproducible method for repairing mandibular bone defects.

Bone Defect Repair Using a Bone Substitute Supported by Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from the Umbilical Cord. Stem Cells Int 2020; 2020:1321283. [PMID: 32300364 PMCID: PMC7142388 DOI: 10.1155/2020/1321283] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2019] [Revised: 01/10/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Bone defects or atrophy may arise as a consequence of injury, inflammation of various etiologies, and neoplastic or traumatic processes or as a result of surgical procedures. Sometimes the regeneration process of bone loss is impaired, significantly slowed down, or does not occur, e.g., in congenital defects. For the bone defect reconstruction, a piece of the removed bone from ala of ilium or bone transplantation from a decedent is used. Replacement of the autologous or allogenic source of the bone-by-bone substitute could reduce the number of surgeries and time in the pharmacological coma during the reconstruction of the bone defect. Application of mesenchymal stem cells in the reconstruction surgery may have positive influence on tissue regeneration by secretion of angiogenic factors, recruitment of other MSCs, or differentiation into osteoblasts. Materials and Methods. Mesenchymal stem cells derived from the umbilical cord (Wharton's jelly (WJ-MSC)) were cultured in GMP-grade DMEM low glucose supplemented with heparin, 10% platelet lysate, glucose, and antibiotics. In vitro WJ-MSCs were seeded on the bone substitute Bio-Oss Collagen® and cultured in the StemPro® Osteogenesis Differentiation Kit. During the culture on the 1st, 7th, 14th, and 21st day (day in vitro (DIV)), we analyzed viability (confocal microscopy) and adhesion capability (electron microscopy) of WJ-MSC on Bio-Oss scaffolds, gene expression (qPCR), and secretion of proteins (Luminex). In vivo Bio-Oss® scaffolds with WJ-MSC were transplanted to trepanation holes in the cranium to obtain their overgrowth. The computed tomography was performed 7, 14, and 21 days after surgery to assess the regeneration. Results The Bio-Oss® scaffold provides a favourable environment for WJ-MSC survival. WJ-MSCs in osteodifferentiation medium are able to attach and proliferate on Bio-Oss® scaffolds. Results obtained from qPCR and Luminex® indicate that WJ-MSCs possess the ability to differentiate into osteoblast-like cells and may induce osteoclastogenesis, angiogenesis, and mobilization of host MSCs. In animal studies, WJ-MSCs seeded on Bio-Oss® increased the scaffold integration with host bone and changed their morphology to osteoblast-like cells. Conclusions The presented construct consisted of Bio-Oss®, the scaffold with high flexibility and plasticity, approved for clinical use with seeded immunologically privileged WJ-MSC which may be considered reconstructive therapy in bone defects.

Anatomical and Clinical Implications in Neocondyle Stability After a Condylectomy. J Craniofac Surg 2019; 31:241-250.

Abstract
: A condylectomy of the mandibular condyle is considered to be the treatment of choice in most cases of condylar head hyperactivity. The aim of the procedure is to remove the growth center of the mandible which is responsible for the mandibular enlargement and asymmetry. This surgical procedure has an impact on the condyle shape and position, but the restoration of mandibular movement and a stable joint position (namely, the proper alignment of the newly shaped condylar head within the condyle fossa) should also be considered important surgical outcomes. In this article, the authors present their own experience in performing condylectomies with an arthroplasty procedure and a special forced suturing technique (FST) in terms of achieving early, accurate mandibular movement and maintaining a stable condyle position in early and late outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A modified high condylectomy with arthroplasty and FST results had been studied in anatomical, radiological, and clinical model. RESULTS Early findings after FST are promising. A slight improvement in lateral jaw movement was noted after condylectomy with arthroplasty (P < 0.05) both in early and late follow-up. Incisal opening, mandibular protrusion, and lateral movement were sustained. A stable condyle position within the fossa was achieved in each case of condylectomy with arthroplasty (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The FST condylectomy and reattachment of the lateral pterygoid muscle in a new, wider position provided an improvement in lateral jaw movement as well as in incisal opening and mandibular protrusion in early follow-up examination compared to the presurgical values. It seems that the FST enabled a better new condylar head position in the glenoid fossa and improved early functional mandibular movement.

Abstract
The prevalence of bone-related diseases has increased, the population growth as a result of the aging phenomenon requires more effective treatments for regeneration of bone defect. Although an autogenous bone graft was used in traditional operation method, they are very inefficient in current bone defect surgery and very difficult to gather the required amount of bone for operation. It is becoming a gradually growing disease, hence there is a need for developing a new method for preparing biomimetic scaffolds. DBP (demineralized bone powder), a potent bone regeneration material, has a trace amount of ions and bone mineral component. Especially, GD (Gallus gallus var domesticus) DBP has a unique property, which has melanin, for strengthening bones, increasing ALP activity and bone mineralization, compared to other available biomaterials. For that reason, GD DBP was combined with GG (gellan gum). The material was characterized in vitro and in vivo rat model. The first priority in this work was given to assessing the attachment and proliferation rates of BMSCs following the in vivo experiment in rats. The results of 1% sample showed better osteogenic effects that can be used in clinical application after studying in larger animals for better bone regeneration and tissue engineering.
