Abstract
Patients with bone diseases often experience increased bone fragility. When bone injuries exceed the body's natural healing capacity, they become significant obstacles. The global rise in the aging population and the escalating obesity pandemic are anticipated to lead to a notable increase in acute bone injuries in the coming years. Our research developed a novel DLP resin for 3D printing, utilizing poly(ethylene glycol diacrylate) (PEGDA) and various monomers through the PET-RAFT polymerization method. To enhance the performance of bone scaffolds, triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) were incorporated into the printed structure, promoting porosity and pore interconnectivity without reducing the mechanical resistance of the printed piece. The gyroid TPMS structure was the one that showed the highest mechanical resistance (0.94 ± 0.117 and 1.66 ± 0.240 MPa) for both variants of resin composition. Additionally, bioactive particles were introduced to enhance the material's biocompatibility, showcasing the potential for incorporating active compounds for specific applications. The inclusion of bioceramic particles produces an increase of 13% in bioactivity signal for osteogenic differentiation (alkaline phosphatase essay) compared to that of control resins. Our findings highlight the substantial improvement in printing precision and resolution achieved by including the photoabsorber, Rose Bengal, in the synthesized resin. This enhancement allows for creating intricately detailed and accurately defined 3D-printed parts. Furthermore, the TPMS gyroid structure significantly enhances the material's mechanical resistance, while including bioactive compounds significantly boosts the polymeric resin's biocompatibility and bioactivity (osteogenic differentiation).

Abstract
Background The anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the gold standard in the treatment of cervical compression pathology and the titanium cage for fusion represents the most used procedure at an institutional level. A technique using fibular autograft has been described, with good results, lower morbidity and lower cost. Objective To compare the rate of fusion, subsidence and functional clinical results after discectomy with titanium cage and fibular autograft. Material and methods A clinical trial with follow-up at 3 and 6 months was carried out in patients diagnosed with cervical spondylosis, candidates for ACDF. 2 groups were formed: fibular autograft and titanium cage. Pre and post functional evaluation using the cervical disability score was made, as well as radiographic fusion and subsidence evaluation. Descriptive statistics, Fisher's exact test, t-test and ANOVA were obtained, establishing p < 0.05. Results A sample of 20 patients with an average age of 56 years was obtained, finding a fusion rate of 90% for fibular autograft and 30% for titanium (p = 0.02) at 3 months. 10% of patients with fibular autograft presented subsidence and 70% with titanium cage at 3 and 6 months (p = 0.02). In the functional results was not found difference between both procedures (p = 0.874). Conclusions The use of autologous fibular graft offers a better rate of fusion and subsidence compared to the titanium cage, as well as similar functional results at 3 months of follow-up. It represents an excellent treatment option for cervical spondylosis.

Abstract
Conditions, accidents, and aging processes have brought with them the need to develop implants with higher technology that allow not only the replacement of missing tissue but also the formation of tissue and the recovery of its function. The development of implants is due to advances in different areas such as molecular-biochemistry (which allows the understanding of the molecular/cellular processes during tissue repair), materials engineering, tissue regeneration (which has contributed advances in the knowledge of the properties of the materials used for their manufacture), and the so-called intelligent biomaterials (which promote tissue regeneration through inductive effects of cell signaling in response to stimuli from the microenvironment to generate adhesion, migration, and cell differentiation processes). The implants currently used are combinations of biopolymers with properties that allow the formation of scaffolds with the capacity to mimic the characteristics of the tissue to be repaired. This review describes the advances of intelligent biomaterials in implants applied in different dental and orthopedic problems; by means of these advances, it is expected to overcome limitations such as additional surgeries, rejections and infections in implants, implant duration, pain mitigation, and mainly, tissue regeneration.

Dorozhkin SV. There Are over 60 Ways to Produce Biocompatible Calcium Orthophosphate (CaPO4) Deposits on Various Substrates. JOURNAL OF COMPOSITES SCIENCE 2023; 7:273.

Abstract
A The present overview describes various production techniques for biocompatible calcium orthophosphate (abbreviated as CaPO4) deposits (coatings, films and layers) on the surfaces of various types of substrates to impart the biocompatible properties for artificial bone grafts. Since, after being implanted, the grafts always interact with the surrounding biological tissues at the interfaces, their surface properties are considered critical to clinical success. Due to the limited number of materials that can be tolerated in vivo, a new specialty of surface engineering has been developed to desirably modify any unacceptable material surface characteristics while maintaining the useful bulk performance. In 1975, the development of this approach led to the emergence of a special class of artificial bone grafts, in which various mechanically stable (and thus suitable for load-bearing applications) implantable biomaterials and artificial devices were coated with CaPO4. Since then, more than 7500 papers have been published on this subject and more than 500 new publications are added annually. In this review, a comprehensive analysis of the available literature has been performed with the main goal of finding as many deposition techniques as possible and more than 60 methods (double that if all known modifications are counted) for producing CaPO4 deposits on various substrates have been systematically described. Thus, besides the introduction, general knowledge and terminology, this review consists of two unequal parts. The first (bigger) part is a comprehensive summary of the known CaPO4 deposition techniques both currently used and discontinued/underdeveloped ones with brief descriptions of their major physical and chemical principles coupled with the key process parameters (when possible) to inform readers of their existence and remind them of the unused ones. The second (smaller) part includes fleeting essays on the most important properties and current biomedical applications of the CaPO4 deposits with an indication of possible future developments.

Abstract
An ideal artificial bone implant should have similar mechanical properties and biocompatibility to natural bone, as well as an internal structure that facilitates stomatal penetration. In this work, 3D printing was used to fabricate and investigate artificial bone composites based on HA-ZrO2-PVA. The composites were proportionally configured using zirconia (ZrO2), hydroxyapatite (HA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), where the ZrO2 played a toughening role and PVA solution served as a binder. In order to obtain the optimal 3D printing process parameters for the composites, a theoretical model of the extrusion process of the composites was first established, followed by the optimization of various parameters including the spray head internal diameter, extrusion pressure, extrusion speed, and extrusion line width. The results showed that, at the optimum parameters of a spray head diameter of 0.2 mm, extrusion pressure values ranging from 1-3 bar, a line spacing of 0.8-1.5 mm, and a spray head displacement range of 8-10 mm/s, a better structure of biological bone scaffolds could be obtained. The mechanical tests performed on the scaffolds showed that the elastic modulus of the artificial bone scaffolds reached about 174 MPa, which fulfilled the biomechanical requirements of human bone. According to scanning electron microscope observation of the scaffold sample, the porosity of the scaffold sample was close to 65%, which can well promote the growth of chondrocytes and angiogenesis. In addition, c5.18 chondrocytes were used to verify the biocompatibility of the composite materials, and the cell proliferation was increased by 100% when compared with that of the control group. The results showed that the composite has good biocompatibility.

Abstract
The periosteum on the skeletal surface creates a unique micro-environment for cortical bone homeostasis, but how this micro-environment is formed remains a mystery. In our study, we observed the cells in the periosteum presented elongated spindle-like morphology within the aligned collagen fibers, which is in accordance with the differentiated osteoblasts lining on the cortical surface. We planted the bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs), the regular shaped progenitor cells, on collagen-coated aligned fibers, presenting similar cell morphology as observed in the natural periosteum. The aligned collagen topology induced the elongation of BMSCs, whichfacilitated the osteogenic process. Transcriptome analysis suggested the aligned collagen induced the regular shaped cells to present part of the periosteum derived stromal cells(PDSCs) characteristics by showing close correlation of the two cell populations. In addition, the elevated expression of PDSCs markers in the cells grown on the aligned collagen-coated fibers further indicated the function of periosteal topology in manipulating cells' behavior. Enrichment analysis revealed cell-extracellular matrix interaction was the major pathway initiating this process, which created an osteo-friendly micro-environment as well. At last, we found the aligned topology of collagen induced mechano-growth factor expression as the result of Igf1 alternative splicing, guiding the progenitor cells behavior and osteogenic process in the periosteum. This study uncovers the key role of the aligned topology of collagen in the periosteum and explains the mechanism in creating the periosteal micro-environment, which gives the inspiration for artificial periosteum design.

Abstract
Abstract:
Aim: to evaluate the bone healing in failed endodontically treated teeth after surgical removal of periapical lesions and placement of hydroxyapatite (HA), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) and a combination of nanohydroxyapatite with platelet rich fibrin (PRF) periapically. Subjects and methods: the study was conducted on twenty-four patients having periapical radiolucency in single rooted teeth. The selected teeth were divided into three groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C; of 8 teeth each. All the teeth were retreated in two visits. In the first visit the old filling was removed using Protaper retreatment files (Dentsply Sirona®) then irrigation with sodium hypochlorite 2.5% was done. All canals were dried and filled with Di-antibiotic paste (metronidazole and ciprofloxacin). In the second visit the canals were obturated with Pro Taper gutta-percha points and root canal sealer (Adseal resin sealer) followed by surgical intervention in the same day. A periapical curettage along with apicoectomy were established. In all the groups, root end cavity was prepared and filled with MTA (ProRoot MTA; DENTSPLY Tulsa Dental Specialties). In Group A, hydroxyapatite powder was packed in the curetted periapical defect. In Group B, nanohydroxyapatite powder was packed in the curetted periapical defect. In Group C, nanohydroxyapatite with PRF were mixed and packed in the curetted periapical defect. In all groups, patients recall visits were scheduled at 1, 3, and 6 months’ time intervals for clinical and radiological evaluation. Results: after one month; there was a statistically significant difference between the median percentage changes in lesions size in the three groups. Pair-wise comparisons between groups revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between group B (nHA) and group C (PRF and nHA) groups. Both showed statistically significantly higher median percentage reduction in lesions size than group A (HA group). After three as well as six months; there was no statistically significant difference between the median percentage decreases in lesions size in the three groups. Conclusion: It was concluded that nHA combination with PRF produced faster periapical healing (bone regeneration) in the first three months than nHA alone. However, HA produce periapical healing (bone regeneration) after six months.

Abstract
The manufacturing of modern scaffolds with customized geometry and personalization has become possible due to the three-dimensional (3D) printing technique. A novel type of 3D-printed scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) filled with nanocrystalline cellulose modified by poly(glutamic acid) (PGlu-NCC) has been proposed in this study. The 3D printing set-ups were optimized in order to obtain homogeneous porous scaffolds. Both polymer composites and manufactured 3D scaffolds have demonstrated mechanical properties suitable for a human trabecular bone. Compression moduli were in the range of 334-396 MPa for non-porous PCL and PCL-based composites, and 101-122 MPa for porous scaffolds made of the same materials. In vitro mineralization study with the use of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) revealed the larger Ca deposits on the surface of PCL/PGlu-NCC composite scaffolds. Implantation of the developed 3D scaffolds into femur of the rabbits was carried out to observe close and delayed effects. The histological analysis showed the lowest content of immune cells and thin fibrous capsule, revealing low toxicity of the PCL/PGlu-NCC scaffolds seeded with rabbit MSCs (rMSCs) to the surrounding tissues. The most pronounced result on the generation of new bone tissue after implantation of PCL/PGlu-NCC + rMSCs scaffolds was detected by both microcomputed tomography and histological analysis. Around 33% and 55% of bone coverage were detected for composite 3D scaffolds with adhered rMSCs after 1 and 3 months of implantation, respectively. This achievement can be a result of synergistic effect of PGlu, which attracts calcium ions, and stem cells with osteogenic potential.

Abstract
Nanocomposite scaffolds based on the combination of polymeric nanofibers with nanohydroxyapatite are a promising approach within tissue engineering. With this strategy, it is possible to synthesize nanobiomaterials that combine the well-known benefits and advantages of polymer-based nanofibers with the osteointegrative, osteoinductive, and osteoconductive properties of nanohydroxyapatite, generating scaffolds with great potential for applications in regenerative medicine, especially as support for bone growth and regeneration. However, as efficiently incorporating nanohydroxyapatite into polymeric nanofibers is still a challenge, new methodologies have emerged for this purpose, such as electrodeposition, a fast, low-cost, adjustable, and reproducible technique capable of depositing coatings of nanohydroxyapatite on the outside of fibers, to improve scaffold bioactivity and cell–biomaterial interactions. In this short review paper, we provide an overview of the electrodeposition method, as well as a detailed discussion about the process of electrodepositing nanohydroxyapatite on the surface of polymer electrospun nanofibers. In addition, we present the main findings of the recent applications of polymeric micro/nanofibrous scaffolds coated with electrodeposited nanohydroxyapatite in tissue engineering. In conclusion, comments are provided about the future direction of nanohydroxyapatite electrodeposition onto polymeric nanofibers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The success of biomedical implants in orthopedic and dental applications is usually limited due to insufficient bone-implant integration, and implant-related infections. Biointerfaces are critical in regulating their interactions and the desirable performance of biomaterials in biological environment. Surface engineering has been widely studied to realize better control of the interface interaction to further enhance the desired behavior of biomaterials. PURPOSE AND SCOPE This review aims to investigate surface coating strategies in hard tissue applications to address insufficient osteointegration and implant-related infection problems. SUMMARY We first focused on surface coatings to enhance the osteointegration and biocompatibility of implants by emphasizing calcium phosphate-related, nanoscale TiO2 -related, bioactive tantalum-based and biomolecules incorporated coatings. Different coating strategies such as plasma spraying, biomimetic deposition, electrochemical anodization and LENS are discussed. We then discussed techniques to construct anti-adhesive and bactericidal surface while emphasizing multifunctional surface coating techniques that combine potential osteointegration and antibacterial activities. The effects of nanotopography via TiO2 coatings on antibacterial performance are interesting and included. A smart bacteria-responsive titanium dioxide nanotubes coating is also attractive and elaborated. CONCLUSION Developing multifunctional surface coatings combining osteogenesis and antimicrobial activity is the current trend. Surface engineering methods are usually combined to obtain hierarchical multiscale surface structures with better biofunctionalization outcomes.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 123:111972. [PMID: 33812600 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.111972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Revised: 01/31/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Biphasic calcium phosphate ceramics (BCPs) have been extensively used as a bone graft in dental clinics to reconstruct lost bone in the jaw and peri-implant hard tissue due to their good bone conduction and similar chemical structure to the teeth and bone. However, BCPs are not inherently osteoinductive and need additional modification and treatment to enhance their osteoinductivity. The present study aims to develop an innovative strategy to improve the osteoinductivity of BCPs using unique features of zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF8). In this method, commercial BCPs (Osteon II) were pre-coated with a zeolitic imidazolate framework-8/polydopamine/polyethyleneimine (ZIF8/PDA/PEI) layer to form a uniform and compact thin film of ZIF8 on the surface of BCPs. The surface morphology and chemical structure of ZIF8 modified Osteon II (ZIF8-Osteon) were confirmed using various analytical techniques such as XRD, FTIR, SEM, and EDX. We evaluated the effect of ZIF8 coating on cell attachment, growth, and osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADSCs). The results revealed that altering the surface chemistry and topography of Osteon II using ZIF8 can effectively promote cell attachment, proliferation, and bone regeneration in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. In conclusion, the method applied in this study is simple, low-cost, and time-efficient and can be used as a versatile approach for improving osteoinductivity and osteoconductivity of other types of alloplastic bone grafts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) is a bioceramic material successfully used in alloplastic bone augmentation. Despite many advantages, a disadvantage of BCP seems to be a difficult application and position instability. The aim of this study was to determine how different carrier materials influence BCP-induced quantitative and qualitative bone regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 70 critical size defects were set in the frontal bone of 14 domestic pigs (5 each) and filled randomly with either BCP alone (BCP), BCP in combination with nano-hydroxyapatite (BCP + NHA), BCP embedded in native porcine type I/III collagen blocks (BCP + C), autologous bone (AB), or were left empty (ED). Specimens were harvested after 4 and 8 weeks and were evaluated histologically as well as histomorphometrically. RESULTS Significantly lowest rate of new bone formation was found in ED (p = < 0.001) and BCP + NHA groups (p = 0.05). After 8 weeks, the highest percentage of new bone formation was observed in the BCP + C group. Fibrous matrix was detected highest in BCP alone. The lowest residual bone substitute material was found in BCP + C after 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS BCP-induced bone regeneration is indeed affected by different carrier types. Surface morphology and bioactive characteristics influence osseointegration and new bone formation in vivo. The combination of type I/III collagen seems most suitable for qualitative and quantitative bone regeneration. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Stabilization of granular bone substitutes using type I/III collagen might be an alternative to granulates alone, indicating excellent volume stability, satisfactory plasticity, and easy application.

Abstract
The regeneration of tissues and organs poses an immense challenge due to the extreme complexity in the research work involved. Despite the tissue engineering approach being considered as a promising strategy for more than two decades, a key issue impeding its progress is the lack of ideal scaffold materials. Nature-inspired synthetic peptide hydrogels are inherently biocompatible, and its high resemblance to extracellular matrix makes peptide hydrogels suitable 3D scaffold materials. This review covers the important aspects of peptide hydrogels as 3D scaffolds, including mechanical properties, biodegradability and bioactivity, and the current approaches in creating matrices with optimized features. Many of these scaffolds contain peptide sequences that are widely reported for tissue repair and regeneration and these peptide sequences will also be discussed. Furthermore, 3D biofabrication strategies of synthetic peptide hydrogels and the recent advances of peptide hydrogels in tissue engineering will also be described to reflect the current trend in the field. In the final section, we will present the future outlook in the design and development of peptide-based hydrogels for translational tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The clinical translation of three-dimensionally printed bioceramic scaffolds with tailored architectures holds great promise toward the regeneration of bone to heal critical-size defects. Herein, the long-term in vivo performance of printed hydrogel-ceramic composites made of methacrylated-oligocaprolactone-poloxamer and low-temperature self-setting calcium-phosphates is assessed in a large animal model. Scaffolds printed with different internal architectures, displaying either a designed porosity gradient or a constant pore distribution, are implanted in equine tuber coxae critical size defects. Bone ingrowth is challenged and facilitated only from one direction via encasing the bioceramic in a polycaprolactone shell. After 7 months, total new bone volume and scaffold degradation are significantly greater in structures with constant porosity. Interestingly, gradient scaffolds show lower extent of remodeling and regeneration even in areas having the same porosity as the constant scaffolds. Low regeneration in distal regions from the interface with native bone impairs ossification in proximal regions of the construct, suggesting that anisotropic architectures modulate the cross-talk between distant cells within critical-size defects. The study provides key information on how engineered architectural patterns impact osteoregeneration in vivo, and also indicates the equine tuber coxae as promising orthotopic model for studying materials stimulating bone formation.

Abstract
Background Tissue engineering has exhibited great effect on treatment for bone-tendon interface (BTI) injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a book-shaped acellular tendon scaffold (ATS) with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells sheets (MSCS) for BTI injury repair. Methods ATS was designed based on the shape of "book", decellularization effect was evaluated by Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), then bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were cultured on ATS to assess the differentiation inductivity of ATS. A rabbit right partial patellotomy model was established, and MSCS seeded on ATS were implanted into the lesion site. The patella-patellar tendon (PPT) at 2, 4, 8 or 16 weeks post-operation were obtained for histological, biomechanical and immunofluorescence analysis. Results H&E, DAPI and SEM results confirmed the efficiency of decellularization of ATS, and their in vitro tenogenic and chondrogenic ability were successfully identified. In vivo results showed increased macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype, IL-10 expression, regenerated bone and fibrocartilage at the patella-patellar tendon interface of animals received MSCS modified ATS implantation. In addition, the level of tensile strength was also the highest in MSCS modified ATS implantation group. Conclusion This study suggests that ATS combined with MSCS performed therapeutic effects on promoting the regeneration of cartilage layer and enhancing the healing quality of patella-patellar tendon interface. The translational potential of this article This study showed the good biocompatibility of the ATS, as well as the great efficacy of ATS with MSCS on tendon to bone healing. The results meant that the novel book-shaped ATS with MSCS may have a great potential for clinical application.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the osteoinductive potentiality of some selected nanostructures; Hydroxyapatite (HA-NPs), Gold (Au-NPs), Chitosan (C-NPs), Gold/hydroxyapatite (Au/HA-NPs) and Chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CH-NPs) on bone marrow- derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs). These nanostructures were characterized using transmission electron microscope and Zetasizer. MSCs were isolated from bone marrow of rat femur bones and their identity was documented by morphology, flow cytometry and multi-potency capacity. The influence of the selected nanostructures on the viability, osteogenic differentiation and subsequent matrix mineralization of BM-MSCs was determined by MTT assay, molecular genetic analysis and alizarin red S staining, respectively. MTT analysis revealed insignificant toxicity of the tested nanostructures on BM-MSCs at concentrations ranged from 2 to 25 µg/ml over 48 h and 72 h incubation period. Notably, the tested nanostructures potentiate the osteogenic differentiation of BM-MSCs as evidenced by a prominent over-expression of runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx-2) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) genes after 7 days incubation. Moreover, the tested nanostructures induced matrix mineralization of BM-MSCs after 21 days as manifested by the formation of calcium nodules stained with alizarin red S. Conclusively, these data provide a compelling evidence for the functionality of the studied nanostructures as osteoinductive materials motivating the differentiation of BM-MSCs into osteoblasts with the most prominent effect observed with Au-NPs and Au/HA-NPs, followed by CH-NPs.

Abstract
Rationally designed, pH sensitive self-assembling β-peptides (SAPs) which are capable of reversibly switching between fluid and gel phases in response to environmental triggers are potentially useful injectable scaffolds for skeletal tissue engineering applications. SAP P11-4 (CH3COQQRFEWEFEQQNH2) has been shown to nucleate hydroxyapatite mineral de novo and has been used in dental enamel regeneration. We hypothesised that addition of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) would enhance the in vivo effects of P11-4 in promoting skeletal tissue repair. Cranial defects were created in athymic rats and filled with either Bio-Oss® (anorganic bone chips) or P11-4 ± human dental pulp stromal cells (HDPSCs). Unfilled defects served as controls. After 4 weeks, only those defects filled with P11-4 alone showed significantly increased bone regeneration (almost complete healing), compared to unfilled control defects, as judged using quantitative micro-CT, histology and immunohistochemistry. In silico modelling indicated that fibril formation may be essential for any mineral nucleation activity. Taken together, these data suggest that self-assembling peptides are a suitable scaffold for regeneration of bone tissue in a one step, cell-free therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Bacteriophage, also called phage, is a human-safe bacteria-specific virus. It is a monodisperse biological nanostructure made of proteins (forming the outside surface) and nucleic acids (encased in the protein capsid). Among different types of phages, filamentous phages have received great attention in tissue regeneration research due to their unique nanofiber-like morphology. They can be produced in an error-free format, self-assemble into ordered scaffolds, display multiple signaling peptides site-specifically, and serve as a platform for identifying novel signaling or homing peptides. They can direct stem cell differentiation into specific cell types when they are organized into proper patterns or display suitable peptides. These unusual features have allowed scientists to employ them to regenerate a variety of tissues, including bone, nerves, cartilage, skin, and heart. This review will summarize the progress in the field of phage-based tissue regeneration and the future directions in this field.

Abstract
Global increases in life expectancy drive increasing demands for bone regeneration. The gold standard for surgical bone repair is autografting, which enjoys excellent clinical outcomes; however, it possesses significant drawbacks including donor site morbidity and limited availability. Although collagen sponges delivered with bone morphogenetic protein, type 2 (BMP2) are a common alternative or supplement, they do not efficiently retain BMP2, necessitating extremely high doses to elicit bone formation. Hence, reports of BMP2 complications are rising, including cancer promotion and ectopic bone formation, the latter inducing complications such as breathing difficulties and neurologic impairments. Thus, efforts to exert spatial control over bone formation are increasing. Several tissue engineering approaches have demonstrated the potential for targeted and controlled bone formation. These approaches include biomaterial scaffolds derived from synthetic sources, e.g., calcium phosphates or polymers; natural sources, e.g., bone or seashell; and immobilized biofactors, e.g., BMP2. Although BMP2 is the only protein clinically approved for use in a surgical device, there are several proteins, small molecules, and growth factors that show promise in tissue engineering applications. This review profiles the tissue engineering advances in achieving control over the location and onset of bone formation (spatiotemporal control) toward avoiding the complications associated with BMP2.

Abstract
Masticatory efficiency is altered by mobile teeth resulting from periodontal disease. The goal of our study was to investigate changes before and after fixation of mobile teeth with a Quartz Splint Woven high-strength quartz fiber splint and evaluate the fixation effect.Forty-two patients with chronic severe periodontal disease and 2 to 3 degree tooth mobility underwent fixation with Quartz Splint Woven quartz fiber splints. Masticatory efficiency was determined before and 1 month after periodontal treatment, and 1 month after fixation. Changes in periodontal probing depth (PD) and periodontal attachment level (AL) were measured and clinical efficacy was evaluated.Masticatory efficiency significantly increased from 39.32% to 50.95% after treatment (P < .001). One month post-fixation, mastication efficiency increased to 67.99% (P < .001). At 3 months post-fixation, efficacy was 100% and at 6 months it was 95.24%; PD decreased from (4.91 ± 0.63) to (4.19 ± 0.60) mm at 1 month post-periodontal treatment, and significantly decreased to (3.73 ± 0.60) mm 1 month post-fixation (P < .001); AL decreased from (4.43 ± 0.58) to (3.96 ± 0.51) mm 1 month after periodontal treatment. One month post-fixation, AL reduced to (3.64 ± 0.46) mm (P < .001).Masticatory efficiency improved after periodontal treatment. Using Quartz Splint Woven quartz fiber periodontal splint for mobile tooth fixation can further improve mastication efficiency and periodontal condition. A stable and ideal fixation can be achieved within 6 months, which provides a clinical basis for treatment and preserving mobile teeth in severe periodontal disease. Mastication efficiency may be recommended as the index for evaluating curative effects of periodontal disease treatment.

Synergistic Effects of Controlled-Released BMP-2 and VEGF from nHAC/PLGAs Scaffold on Osteogenesis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2018; 2018:3516463. [PMID: 30345299 PMCID: PMC6174819 DOI: 10.1155/2018/3516463] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2018] [Revised: 07/12/2018] [Accepted: 09/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Tissue engineering bones take great advantages in massive bone defect repairing; under the induction of growth factors, seed cells differentiate into osteoblasts, and the scaffold materials gradually degrade and are replaced with neogenetic bones, which simulates the actual pathophysiological process of bone regeneration. However, mechanism research is required and further developed to instruct elements selection and optimization. In the present study, we prepared vascular endothelial growth factor/bone morphogenetic protein-2- nanohydroxyapatite/collagen (VEGF/ BMP-2- nHAC/ PLGAs) scaffolds and inoculated mouse MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts to detect osteogenic indexes and activation of related signaling pathways. The hypothesis is to create a three-dimensional environment that simulates bone defect repairing, and p38 mitogen-activated kinase (p38) inhibitor was applied and osterix shRNA was transferred into mouse MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts to further investigate the molecular mechanism of crosstalk between BMP-2 and VEGF. Our results demonstrated the following: (1) BMP-2 and VEGF were sustainably released from PLGAs microspheres. (2) nHAC/PLGAs scaffold occupied a three-dimensional porous structure and has excellent physical properties. (3) MC3T3-E1 cells proliferated and differentiated well in the scaffold. (4) Osteogenic differentiation related factors expression of VEGF/BMP-2 loaded scaffold was obviously higher than that of other groups; p38 inhibitor SB203580 decreased the nucleus/cytoplasm ratio of osterix expression. To conclude, the active artificial bone we prepared could provide a favorable growth space for MC3T3-E1 cells, and osteogenesis and maturation reinforced by simultaneous VEGF and BMP-2 treatment may be mainly through the activation of the p38 MAPK pathway to promote nuclear translocation of osterix protein.

A physiologically relevant 3D collagen-based scaffold-neuroblastoma cell system exhibits chemosensitivity similar to orthotopic xenograft models. Acta Biomater 2018; 70:84-97. [PMID: 29447961 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2018.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2017] [Revised: 02/02/2018] [Accepted: 02/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
3D scaffold-based in vitro cell culturing is a recent technological advancement in cancer research bridging the gap between conventional 2D culture and in vivo tumours. The main challenge in treating neuroblastoma, a paediatric cancer of the sympathetic nervous system, is to combat tumour metastasis and resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs. The aim of this study was to establish a physiologically relevant 3D neuroblastoma tissue-engineered system and explore its therapeutic relevance. Two neuroblastoma cell lines, chemotherapeutic sensitive Kelly and chemotherapeutic resistant KellyCis83 were cultured in a 3D in vitro model on two collagen-based scaffolds containing either glycosaminoglycan (Coll-GAG) or nanohydroxyapatite (Coll-nHA) and compared to 2D cell culture and an orthotopic murine model. Both neuroblastoma cell lines actively infiltrated the scaffolds and proliferated displaying >100-fold increased resistance to cisplatin treatment when compared to 2D cultures, exhibiting chemosensitivity similar to orthotopic xenograft in vivo models. This model demonstrated its applicability to validate miRNA-based gene delivery. The efficacy of liposomes bearing miRNA mimics uptake and gene knockdown was similar in both 2D and 3D in vitro culturing models highlighting the proof-of-principle for the applicability of 3D collagen-based scaffolds cell system for validation of miRNA function. Collectively, this data shows the successful development and characterisation of a physiologically relevant, scaffold-based 3D tissue-engineered neuroblastoma cell model, strongly supporting its value in the evaluation of chemotherapeutics, targeted therapies and investigation of neuroblastoma pathogenesis. While neuroblastoma is the specific disease being focused upon, the platform may have multi-functionality beyond this tumour type. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Traditional 2D cell cultures do not completely capture the 3D architecture of cells and extracellular matrix contributing to a gap in our understanding of mammalian biology at the tissue level and may explain some of the discrepancies between in vitro and in vivo results. Here, we demonstrated the successful development and characterisation of a physiologically relevant, scaffold-based 3D tissue-engineered neuroblastoma cell model, strongly supporting its value in the evaluation of chemotherapeutics, targeted therapies and investigation of neuroblastoma pathogenesis. The ability to test drugs in this reproducible and controllable tissue-engineered model system will help reduce the attrition rate of the drug development process and lead to more effective and tailored therapies. Importantly, such 3D cell models help to reduce and replace animals for pre-clinical research addressing the principles of the 3Rs.

Abstract
Background As a potentially bioactive material, the widespread application of nanosized hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) in the field of bone regeneration has increased the risk of human exposure. However, our understanding of the interaction between nano-HAP and stem cells implicated in bone repair remains incomplete. Methods Here, we characterized the adhesion and cellular internalization of HAP nanoparticles (HANPs) with different sizes (20 nm np20 and 80 nm np80) and highlighted the involved pathway in their uptake using human umbilical cord Wharton's jelly-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hWJ-MSCs). In addition, the effects of HANPs on cell viability, apoptosis response, osteogenic differentiation, and underlying related mechanisms were explored. Results It was shown that both types of HANPs readily adhered to the cellular membrane and were transported into the cells compared to micro-sized HAP particles (m-HAP; 12 μm). Interestingly, the endocytic routes of np20 and np80 differed, although they exhibited similar kinetics of adhesion and uptake. Our study revealed involvement of clathrin- and caveolin-mediated endocytosis as well as macropinocytosis in the np20 uptake. However, for np80, clathrin-mediated endocytosis and some as-yet-unidentified important uptake routes play central roles in their internalization. HANPs displayed a higher preference to accumulate in the cytoplasm compared to m-HAP, and HANPs were not detected in the nucleolus. Exposure to np20 for 24 h caused a decrease in cell viability, while cells completely recovered with an exposure time of 72 h. Furthermore, HANPs did not influence apoptosis and necrosis of hWJ-MSCs. Strikingly, HANPs enhanced mRNA levels of osteoblast-related genes and stimulated calcium mineral deposition, and this directly correlated with the activation in c-Jun N-terminal kinases and p38 pathways. Conclusion Our data provide additional insight about the interactions of HANPs with MSCs and suggest their application potential in hard tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Scaffold fabrication and biocompatibility are crucial for successful bone tissue engineering. Nanometer hydroxyapatite (nHAP) combined with collagen (COL) is frequently utilized as a suitable osseous scaffold material. Furthermore, growth factors, including bone morphogenetic protein‑2 (BMP‑2), are used to enhance the scaffold properties. The present study used blending and freeze‑drying methods to develop a BMP‑2‑nHAP‑COL scaffold. An ELISA was performed to determine the BMP‑2 release rate from the scaffold. Flow cytometry was used to identify rat bone marrow‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) prior to their combination with the scaffold. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the scaffold structure and BMSC morphology following seeding onto the scaffold. BMSCs were also used to assess the biological compatibility of the scaffold in vitro. BMP‑2‑nHAP‑COL and nHAP‑COL scaffolds were assessed alongside the appropriate control groups. Cells were counted to determine early cell adhesion. Cell Counting kit‑8 and alkaline phosphatase assays were used to detect cell proliferation and differentiation, respectively. Gross morphology confirmed that the BMP‑2‑nHAP‑COL scaffold microstructure conformed to the optimal characteristics of a bone tissue engineering scaffold. Furthermore, the BMP‑2‑nHAP‑COL scaffold exhibited no biological toxicity and was demonstrated to promote BMSC adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. The BMP‑2‑nHAP‑COL scaffold had good biocompatibility in vitro, and may therefore be modified further to construct an optimized scaffold for future bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Some biomaterials are osteoinductive, that is, they are able to trigger the osteogenic process by inducing the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to the osteogenic lineage. Although the underlying mechanism is still unclear, microporosity and specific surface area (SSA) have been identified as critical factors in material-associated osteoinduction. However, only sintered ceramics, which have a limited range of porosities and SSA, have been analyzed so far. In this work, we were able to extend these ranges to the nanoscale, through the foaming and 3D-printing of biomimetic calcium phosphates, thereby obtaining scaffolds with controlled micro- and nanoporosity and with tailored macropore architectures. Calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) scaffolds were evaluated after 6 and 12 weeks in an ectopic-implantation canine model and compared with two sintered ceramics, biphasic calcium phosphate and β-tricalcium phosphate. Only foams with spherical, concave macropores and not 3D-printed scaffolds with convex, prismatic macropores induced significant ectopic bone formation. Among them, biomimetic nanostructured CDHA produced the highest incidence of ectopic bone and accelerated bone formation when compared with conventional microstructured sintered calcium phosphates with the same macropore architecture. Moreover, they exhibited different bone formation patterns; in CDHA foams, the new ectopic bone progressively replaced the scaffold, whereas in sintered biphasic calcium phosphate scaffolds, bone was deposited on the surface of the material, progressively filling the pore space. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that the high reactivity of nanostructured biomimetic CDHA combined with a spherical, concave macroporosity allows the pushing of the osteoinduction potential beyond the limits of microstructured calcium phosphate ceramics.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is critical to health both as the main structural material of the skeleton and storage material of calcium and phosphate. Nanosized HAp (nHAp) is naturally produced by mineralizing cells during bone formation and remodeling and is the main constituent of the skeleton. As such, HAp is currently being investigated as a therapeutic biomaterial for orthopedic and dental purposes. Recent studies have suggested that extracellular nHAp can influence osteoblast lineage commitment and cell function through changes in gene expression; however, the mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here, the cellular and molecular mechanism by which rod-shaped nHAp (10 × 100 nm) stimulates gene expression in preosteoblast bone marrow stromal cells was investigated. Electron microscopy detected a rapid and stable interaction of nHAp with the cell membrane, which correlated with a strong stimulation of the Erk1/2 signaling pathway. Results also identified the requirement of the Fgf receptor signaling and phosphate-transporters for nHAp regulated gene expression whereas a calcium-sensing receptor inhibitor had no effect. Collectively, the study uncovers novel signaling pathways and cellular events specifically stimulated by and required for the cellular response to free extracellular HAp. The results provide insight into the osteoblastic response to HAp relevant to functional mineralization and pathological calcification and could be used in the development of biomaterials for orthopedic purposes.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphological bone response in animal experiments by applying hydroxyapatite grafts in critical and non-critical size bone defects. Current report followed the guidelines established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Animal experiments were selected by assessing repair of bone defects with hydroxyapatite as bone graft and with blood clot only as control. Eight articles were identified in specialized literature and included in the meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was carried out with a random-effect model (p = 0.05). Subgroup analyses were further performed to investigate bone repair in critical and non-critical bone defects. Comprehensive analysis of bone repair outcome showed a statistically significant difference between hydroxyapatite and blood clot control (p < 0.05). Subgroup analyses showed statistically significant difference for critical bone defects (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was reported in non-critical bone defects (p > 0.05). Although animal studies revealed a high risk of bias and results should be interpreted with caution, the literature suggests that non-critical bone defects may heal spontaneously and without the need of a bone graft. Conversely, when critical-size defects are present, the use of hydroxyapatite bone graft improves the bone repair process.

Nanoparticle-mediated siRNA delivery assessed in a 3D co-culture model simulating prostate cancer bone metastasis. Int J Pharm 2016; 511:1058-69.

Abstract
siRNA has emerged as a potential therapeutic for the treatment of prostate cancer but effective delivery remains a major barrier to its clinical application. This study aimed to develop and characterise a 3D in vitro co-culture model to simulate prostate cancer bone metastasis and to assess the ability of the model to investigate nanoparticle-mediated siRNA delivery and gene knockdown. PC3 or LNCaP prostate cancer cells were co-cultured with hFOB 1.19 osteoblast cells in 2D on plastic tissue culture plates and in 3D on collagen scaffolds mimicking the bone microenvironment. To characterise the co-culture model, cell proliferation, enzyme secretion and the utility of two different gene delivery vectors to mediate siRNA uptake and gene knockdown were assessed. Cell proliferation was reduced by∼50% by day 7 in the co-culture system relative to monoculture (PC3 and LNCaP co-cultures, in 2D and 3D) and an enhanced level of MMP9 (a marker of bone metastasis) was secreted into the media (1.2-4-fold increase depending on the co-culture system). A cationic cyclodextrin gene delivery vector proved significantly less toxic in the co-culture system relative to the commercially available vector Lipofectamine 2000(®). In addition, knockdown of both the GAPDH gene (minimum 15%) and RelA subunit of the NF-κB transcription factor (minimum 20%) was achieved in 2D and 3D cell co-cultures. Results indicate that the prostate cancer-osteoblast in vitro co-culture model was more physiologically relevant vs the monoculture. This model has the potential to help improve the design and efficacy of gene delivery formulations, to more accurately predict in vivo performance and, therefore, to reduce the risk of product failure in late-stage clinical development.

Abstract
Bioceramic mixtures of tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HAp) are widely used for bone regeneration because of their excellent cytocompatibility, osteoconduction, and osteoinduction. Therefore, we hypothesized that incorporation of a mixture of TCP and HAp in microsphere-based scaffolds would enhance osteogenesis of rat bone marrow stromal cells (rBMSCs) compared to a positive control of scaffolds with encapsulated bone-morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2). Poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microsphere-based scaffolds encapsulating TCP and HAp mixtures in two different ratios (7:3 and 1:1) were fabricated with the same net ceramic content (30 wt%) to evaluate how incorporation of these ceramic mixtures would affect the osteogenesis in rBMSCs. Encapsulation of TCP/HAp mixtures impacted microsphere morphologies and the compressive moduli of the scaffolds. Additionally, TCP/HAp mixtures enhanced the end-point secretion of extracellular matrix components relevant to bone tissue compared to the "blank" (PLGA-only) microsphere-based scaffolds as evidenced by the biochemical, gene expression, histology, and immunohistochemical characterization. Moreover, the TCP/HAp mixture groups even surpassed the BMP-2 positive control group in some instances in terms of matrix synthesis and gene expression. Lastly, gene expression data suggested that the rBMSCs responded differently to different TCP/HAp ratios presented to them. Altogether, it can be concluded that TCP/HAp mixtures stimulated the differentiation of rBMSCs toward an osteoblastic phenotype, and therefore may be beneficial in gradient microsphere-based scaffolds for osteochondral regeneration.

Abstract
The osteoconduction of porous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics has been widely reported. In a previous study, we demonstrated that applying a nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA) coating enhances the osteoinductive potential of BCP ceramics, making these scaffolds more suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of reconstructing radius defects in rabbits using nHA-coated BCP ceramics seeded with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and to compare the bone regeneration induced by different scaffolds. Radius defects were created in 20 New Zealand rabbits, which were divided into four groups by treatment: porous BCP ceramics (Group A), nHA-coated porous BCP ceramics (Group B), porous BCP ceramics seeded with rabbit MSCs (Group C), and nHA-coated porous BCP ceramics seeded with rabbit MSCs (Group D). After in vitro incubation, the cell/scaffold complexes were implanted into the defects. Twelve weeks after implantation, the specimens were examined macroscopically and histologically. Both the nHA coating and seeding with MSCs enhanced the formation of new bone tissue in the BCP ceramics, though the osteoinductive potential of the scaffolds with MSCs was greater than that of the nHA-coated scaffolds. Notably, the combination of nHA coating and MSCs significantly improved the bone regeneration capability of the BCP ceramics. Thus, MSCs seeded into porous BCP ceramics coated with nHA may be an effective bone substitute to reconstruct bone defects in the clinic.

Abstract
Prostate cancer bone metastases are a leading cause of cancer-related death in men with current treatments offering only marginally improved rates of survival. Advances in the understanding of the genetic basis of prostate cancer provide the opportunity to develop gene-based medicines capable of treating metastatic disease. The aim of this work was to establish a 3D cell culture model of prostate cancer bone metastasis using collagen-based scaffolds, to characterise this model, and to assess the potential of the model to evaluate delivery of gene therapeutics designed to target bone metastases. Two prostate cancer cell lines (PC3 and LNCaP) were cultured in 2D standard culture and compared to 3D cell growth on three different collagen-based scaffolds (collagen and composites of collagen containing either glycosaminoglycan or nanohydroxyapatite). The 3D model was characterised for cell proliferation, viability and for matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) secretion. Chemosensitivity to docetaxel treatment was assessed in 2D in comparison to 3D. Nanoparticles (NPs) containing siRNA formulated using a modified cyclodextrin were delivered to the cells on the scaffolds and gene silencing was quantified. Both prostate cancer cell lines actively infiltrated and proliferated on the scaffolds. Cell culture in 3D resulted in reduced levels of MMP1 and MMP9 secretion in PC3 cells. In contrast, LNCaP cells grown in 3D secreted elevated levels of PSA, particularly on the scaffold composed of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Both cell lines grown in 3D displayed increased resistance to docetaxel treatment. The cyclodextrin.siRNA nanoparticles achieved cellular uptake and knocked down the endogenous GAPDH gene in the 3D model. In conclusion, development of a novel 3D cell culture model of prostate cancer bone metastasis has been initiated resulting, for the first time, in the successful delivery of gene therapeutics in a 3D in vitro model. Further enhancement of this model will help elucidate the pathogenesis of prostate cancer and also accelerate the design of effective therapies which can penetrate into the bone microenvironment for prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract
Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of paramount importance for the clinical success. In view of the fact that a limited amount of materials appear to be tolerated by living organisms, a special discipline called surface engineering was developed to initiate the desirable changes to the exterior properties of various materials but still maintaining their useful bulk performances. In 1975, this approach resulted in the introduction of a special class of artificial bone grafts, composed of various mechanically stable (consequently, suitable for load bearing applications) implantable biomaterials and/or bio-devices covered by calcium orthophosphates (CaPO4) to both improve biocompatibility and provide an adequate bonding to the adjacent bones. Over 5000 publications on this topic were published since then. Therefore, a thorough analysis of the available literature has been performed and about 50 (this number is doubled, if all possible modifications are counted) deposition techniques of CaPO4 have been revealed, systematized and described. These CaPO4 deposits (coatings, films and layers) used to improve the surface properties of various types of artificial implants are the topic of this review.

Abstract
The development of responsive biomaterials capable of demonstrating modulated function in response to dynamic physiological and mechanical changes in vivo remains an important challenge in bone tissue engineering. To achieve long-term repair and good clinical outcomes, biologically responsive approaches that focus on repair and reconstitution of tissue structure and function through drug release, receptor recognition, environmental responsiveness and tuned biodegradability are required. Traditional orthopedic materials lack biomimicry, and mismatches in tissue morphology, or chemical and mechanical properties ultimately accelerate device failure. Multiple stimuli have been proposed as principal contributors or mediators of cell activity and bone tissue formation, including physical (substrate topography, stiffness, shear stress and electrical forces) and biochemical factors (growth factors, genes or proteins). However, optimal solutions to bone regeneration remain elusive. This review will focus on biological and physicomechanical considerations currently being explored in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Recent regenerative medicine and tissue engineering strategies (using cells, scaffolds, medical devices and gene therapy) have led to fascinating progress of translation of basic research towards clinical applications. In the past decade, great deal of research has focused on developing various three dimensional (3D) organs, such as bone, skin, liver, kidney and ear, using such strategies in order to replace or regenerate damaged organs for the purpose of maintaining or restoring organs' functions that may have been lost due to aging, accident or disease. The surface properties of a material or a device are key aspects in determining the success of the implant in biomedicine, as the majority of biological reactions in human body occur on surfaces or interfaces. Furthermore, it has been established in the literature that cell adhesion and proliferation are, to a great extent, influenced by the micro- and nano-surface characteristics of biomaterials and devices. In addition, it has been shown that the functions of stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells in particular, could be regulated through physical interaction with specific nanotopographical cues. Therefore, guided stem cell proliferation, differentiation and function are of great importance in the regeneration of 3D tissues and organs using tissue engineering strategies. This review will provide an update on the impact of nanotopography on mesenchymal stem cells for the purpose of developing laboratory-based 3D organs and tissues, as well as the most recent research and case studies on this topic.

Abstract
While many synthetic ceramic bone graft substitutes (BGSs) have osteoconductive properties (e.g. provide a physical scaffold for osteointegration of surrounding bone tissue), certain BGSs are osteostimulative in that they actively upregulate mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and stimulate differentiation into osteoblast-like cells. The osteostimulative properties of silicate-substituted calcium phosphate with enhanced porosity (SiCaP EP) were evaluated in vitro with STRO-1+ immunoselected human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs). Osteostimulative materials (SiCaP) and Bioglass 45S5 (Bioglass) were also assessed as positive controls along with non-silicate substituted hydroxyapatite as a negative control. HBMSCs were also assessed on Thermanox discs cultured in basal and osteogenic media to determine when osteogenic differentiation could be significantly detected with this in vitro cell system. HBMSC viability and necrosis, total DNA content, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression, and osteocalcin expression were evaluated after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days. It was demonstrated that SiCaP EP is osteostimulative based on its propensity to support STRO-1+ HBMSC proliferation and ability to promote the differentiation of HBMSCs down the osteoblastic lineage from ALP-expressing, matrix-producing osteoblasts to Osteocalcin-producing pre-osteocytes without the presence of external osteogenic factors. SiCaP EP permitted greater HBMSC attachment as well as ALP and Osteocalcin expression than Bioglass which may be attributed to its microstructure and chemistry.

Abstract
Healing and regeneration of large bone defects leading to non-unions is a great concern in orthopedic surgery. Since auto- and allografts have limitations, bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) has attempted to solve this issue. In TERM, healing promotive factors are necessary to regulate the several important events during healing. An ideal treatment strategy should provide osteoconduction, osteoinduction, osteogenesis, and osteointegration of the graft or biomaterials within the healing bone. Since many materials have osteoconductive properties, only a few biomaterials have osteoinductive properties which are important for osteogenesis and osteointegration. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are potent inductors of the osteogenic and angiogenic activities during bone repair. The BMPs can regulate the production and activity of some growth factors which are necessary for the osteogenesis. Since the introduction of BMP, it has added a valuable tool to the surgeon's possibilities and is most commonly used in bone defects. Despite significant evidences suggesting their potential benefit on bone healing, there are some evidences showing their side effects such as ectopic bone formation, osteolysis and problems related to cost effectiveness. Bone tissue engineering may create a local environment, using the delivery systems, which enables BMPs to carry out their activities and to lower cost and complication rate associated with BMPs. This review represented the most important concepts and evidences regarding the role of BMPs on bone healing and regeneration from basic to clinical application. The major advantages and disadvantages of such biologic compounds together with the BMPs substitutes are also discussed.
