Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioglass materials have gained significant attention in the field of tissue engineering due to their osteoinductive and biocompatible properties that promote bone cell differentiation. In this study, a novel composite scaffold was developed using a sol-gel technique to combine bioglass (BG) 58 S with a poly L-lactic acid (PLLA). METHODS AND RESULTS The physiochemical properties, morphology, and osteoinductive potential of the scaffolds were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results showed that the SiO2-CaO-P2O5 system was successfully synthesized by the sol-gel method. The PLLA scaffolds containing BG was found to be osteoinductive and promoted mineralization, as demonstrated by calcium deposition assay, upregulation of alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity, and Alizarin red staining data. CONCLUSIONS These in vitro studies suggest that composite scaffolds incorporating hBMSCs are a promising substitute material to be implemented in bone tissue engineering. The PLLA/BG scaffolds promote osteogenesis and support the differentiation of bone cells, such as osteoblasts, due to their osteoinductive properties.

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

Abstract
Rare earth nanomaterials (RE NMs), which are based on rare earth elements, have emerged as remarkable biomaterials for use in bone regeneration. The effects of RE NMs on osteogenesis, such as promoting the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, have been investigated. However, the contributions of the properties of RE NMs to bone regeneration and their interactions with various cell types during osteogenesis have not been reviewed. Here, we review the crucial roles of the physicochemical and biological properties of RE NMs and focus on their osteogenic mechanisms. RE NMs directly promote the proliferation, adhesion, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. They also increase collagen secretion and mineralization to accelerate osteogenesis. Furthermore, RE NMs inhibit osteoclast formation and regulate the immune environment by modulating macrophages and promote angiogenesis by inducing hypoxia in endothelial cells. These effects create a microenvironment that is conducive to bone formation. This review will help researchers overcome current limitations to take full advantage of the osteogenic benefits of RE NMs and will suggest a potential approach for further osteogenesis research.

Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize bioactive glass (BG) and phosphorylated chitosan (PCS), and fabricate a BG/PCS composite scaffold. The physical properties (mechanical strength, swelling degree, and degradation rate) of the BG/PCS scaffold were tested. Thein vitromineralization properties of composite scaffolds in simulated body fluid were investigated. MC3T3-E1 cell responses with the BG/PCS scaffold were investigated using live/dead cell staining, actin staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and Alizarin red staining. Our results showed that the scaffold had an inner porous structure, good swelling properties, and good degradation rate. After immersion in SBF, the scaffolds demonstrated high properties in inducing mineralization. Leaching solutions of the composite scaffolds exhibited good cytocompatibility. MC3T3-E1 cells adhered, spread, and proliferated on the scaffold. The BG/PCS composite scaffold showed osteo-inductive activity by increasing ALP activity and calcium deposition. Our results indicated that the BG/PCS scaffold had potential applications as a bone-defect repair biomaterial.

Abstract
While bone tissue is known for its inherent regenerative abilities, various pathological conditions and trauma can disrupt its meticulously regulated processes of bone formation and resorption. Bone tissue engineering aims to replicate the extracellular matrix of bone tissue as well as the sophisticated biochemical mechanisms crucial for effective regeneration. Traditionally, the field has relied on external agents like growth factors and pharmaceuticals to modulate these processes. Although efficacious in certain scenarios, this strategy is compromised by limitations such as safety issues and the transient nature of the compound release and half-life. Conversely, bioactive elements such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg) and silicon (Si), have garnered increasing interest for their therapeutic benefits, superior stability, and reduced biotic risks. Moreover, these elements are often incorporated into biomaterials that function as multifaceted bioactive components, facilitating bone regeneration via release on-demand. By elucidating the mechanistic roles and therapeutic efficacy of the bioactive elements, this review aims to establish bioactive elements as a robust and clinically viable strategy for advanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
The potential of marine natural products as effective drugs for osteoporosis treatment is an understudied area. In this study, we investigated the ability of lead compounds from deep-sea-derived Penicillium solitum MCCC 3A00215 to promote bone formation in vitro and in vivo. We found that penicopeptide A (PPA) promoted osteoblast mineralization among bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a concentration-dependent manner, and thus, we selected this natural peptide for further testing. Our further experiments showed that PPA significantly promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs while inhibiting their adipogenic differentiation and not affecting their chondrogenic differentiation. Mechanistic studies showed that PPA binds directly to the AKT and GSK-3β and activates phosphorylation of AKT and GSK-3β, resulting in the accumulation of β-catenin. We also evaluated the therapeutic potential of PPA in a female mouse model of ovariectomy-induced systemic bone loss. In this model, PPA treatment prevented decreases in bone volume and trabecular thickness. In conclusion, our in vitro and in vivo results demonstrated that PPA could promote osteoblast-related bone formation via the AKT, GSK-3β, and β-catenin signaling pathways, indicating the clinical potential of PPA as a candidate compound for osteoporosis prevention.

Abstract
Background: Aged women and premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) patients have residual dormant primordial follicles that are hard to be activated through a physiological process. However, there are no effective and safe drugs to help them. Methods: We used the in vitro culture model of newborn mouse ovaries to identify the drugs that promote primordial follicle activation and study its mechanisms. It was verified by in vivo injection model of newborn mice and in vitro culture model of human ovarian tissue. In addition, we used the aged mice as a low infertility model to verify the effects of primordial follicle activation, and fertility by drugs. Results: Eleven metallic compounds activated mouse primordial follicles, and the five most effective compounds were selected for further study. Thapsigargin (TG), CrCl3, MnCl2, FeCl3 and ZnSO4 increased the levels of the glycolysis-related proteins (glucose transporter type 4, GLUT4; hexokinase 1, HK1; pyruvate kinase M2, PKM2; phosphofructokinase, liver type, PFKL), phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) in cultured mouse ovaries. The compound-promoted p-mTOR levels could be completely blocked by 2-DG (the inhibitor of glycolysis). The compounds also increased the levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-Akt). TG-, CrCl3- and FeCl3-promoted p-Akt levels, but not MnCl2- and ZnSO4- promoted p-Akt levels, could be completely blocked by ISCK03 (the inhibitor of proto-oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase, KIT). The injection of newborn mice with the compounds also activated primordial follicles and increased the levels of the glycolysis-related proteins, p-mTOR, and p-Akt. The oral administration of the compounds in adolescent and aged mice promoted primordial follicle activation, and had no obvious side effect. Importantly, ZnSO4 also increased ovulated oocytes, oocyte quality and offspring in aged mice. Furthermore, the compounds promoted human primordial follicle activation and increased the levels of the glycolysis-related proteins, p-mTOR, and p-Akt. Conclusion: The metallic compounds activate primordial follicles through the glycolysis-dependent mTOR pathway and/or the PI3K/Akt pathway, and the oral administration of ZnSO4 enhances fertility in aged mice. We suggest that these metallic compounds may be oral drugs to ameliorate fertility deficits in aged women and POI patients.

Abstract
In order to achieve smart biomedical micro/nanomaterials, promote interaction with biomolecules, improve osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation, exhibit better dispersion in bone implants and ultimately maximize functionality, we innovatively and successfully designed and synthesized polymer PBLG-modified GdPO4·H2O nanobunches by hydroxylation, silylation and glutamylation processes. The effects of different feeding ratios on the surface coating of GdPO4·H2O with Si-OH, the grafting γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APS) and the in situ ring-opening polymerization reaction of poly(g-benzyl-L-glutamate) (PBLG) were investigated, and the physical and chemical properties were characterized in detail. When GdPO4·H2O@SiO2-APS:NCA = 4:1, the PBLG-g-GdPO4·H2O grafting rate was 5.93%, with good stability and dispersion in degradable polymeric materials. However, the MRI imaging signal was sequentially weakened as the modification process proceeded. Despite this, the biological effects had surprising findings. All the modifiers at appropriate concentrations were biocompatible and biologically active and the biomacromolecules of COL I and COL II in particular were expressed at least 3 times higher in GdPO4·H2O@SiO2 compared to the PLGA. This indicates that the appropriate surface modification and functionalization of gadolinium-containing micro/nanomaterials can promote interaction with cells and encourage bone regeneration by regulating biomacromolecules and can be used in the field of biomedical materials.

Abstract
The objective was to synthesize and characterize fine polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers associated with a new 58S bioglass obtained by the precipitated sol-gel route, produced by the electrospinning process in order to incorporate therapeutic ions (Mg and Li). In PCL/acetone solutions were added 7% pure bioglass, bioglass doped with Mg(NO3 )2 and Li2 CO3 and were subjected to electrospinning process. The fibers obtained were characterized morphologically, chemically and biologically. The results showed the presence of fine fibers at the nanometric scale and with diameters ranging from 0.67 to 1.92 μm among groups. Groups containing bioglass showed particles both inside and on the surface of the fibers. The components of the polymer, bioglass and therapeutic ions were present in the fibers produced. The produced fibers showed cell viability and induced the formation of mineralization nodules. It was observed the applicability of that methodology in making an improved biomaterial, which adds the osteoinductive properties of the bioglass to PCL and to those of therapeutic ions, applicable to guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, various bioactive material-based scaffolds were investigated and researchers across the globe are actively involved in establishing a potential state-of-the-art for bone tissue engineering applications, wherein several disciplines like clinical medicine, materials science, and biotechnology are involved. The present review article's main aim is to focus on repairing and restoring bone tissue defects by enhancing the bioactivity of fabricated bone tissue scaffolds and providing a suitable microenvironment for the bone cells to fasten the healing process. It deals with the various surface modification strategies and smart composite materials development that are involved in the treatment of bone tissue defects. Orthopaedic researchers and clinicians constantly focus on developing strategies that can naturally imitate not only the bone tissue architecture but also its functional properties to modulate cellular behaviour to facilitate bridging, callus formation and osteogenesis at critical bone defects. This review summarizes the currently available polymeric composite matrices and the methods to improve their bioactivity for bone tissue regeneration effectively.

Guo A, Zheng Y, Zhong Y, Mo S, Fang S. Effect of chitosan/inorganic nanomaterial scaffolds on bone regeneration and related influencing factors in animal models: A systematic review. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:986212. [PMID: 36394038 PMCID: PMC9643585 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.986212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/11/2022] [Indexed: 09/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) provides a promising alternative for transplanting. Due to biocompatibility and biodegradability, chitosan-based scaffolds have been extensively studied. In recent years, many inorganic nanomaterials have been utilized to modify the performance of chitosan-based materials. In order to ascertain the impact of chitosan/inorganic nanomaterial scaffolds on bone regeneration and related key factors, this study presents a systematic comparison of various scaffolds in the calvarial critical-sized defect (CSD) model. A total of four electronic databases were searched without publication date or language restrictions up to April 2022. The Animal Research Reporting of In Vivo Experiments 2.0 guidelines (ARRIVE 2.0) were used to assess the quality of the included studies. Moreover, the risk of bias (RoB) was evaluated via the Systematic Review Center for Laboratory Animal Experimentation (SYRCLE) tool. After the screening, 22 studies were selected. None of these studies achieved high quality or had a low RoB. In the available studies, scaffolds reconstructed bone defects in radically different extensions. Several significant factors were identified, including baseline characteristics, physicochemical properties of scaffolds, surgery details, and scanning or reconstruction parameters of micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Further studies should focus on not only improving the osteogenic performance of the scaffolds but also increasing the credibility of studies through rigorous experimental design and normative reports.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM) stiffness is an important biophysical factor in human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) differentiation. Although there is evidence that Yes-associated protein (YAP) plays an important role in ECM elasticity induced osteogenesis, but the regulatory mechanism and signaling pathways have not been distinctly uncovered. In this study, hBMSCs were cultured on collagen-coated polydimethylsiloxane hydrogels with stiffness corresponding to Young's moduli of 0.5 kPa and 32 kPa, and gene chip analyses revealed the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT pathway was highly correlated with ECM stiffness. Following western blots indicated that AKT phosphorylation was evidently affected in 5th-7th days after ECM stiffness stimulation, while PI3K showed little difference. The AKT activator SC79 and inhibitor MK2206 were utilized to modulate AKT phosphorylation. SC79 and MK2206 caused alteration in the mRNA expression and protein level of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) and runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). On 32 kPa substrates, YAP enrichment in nucleus were significantly promoted by SC79 and remarkably decreased by MK2206. Besides, the ratio of YAP/p-YAP is upregulated by SC79 on both 32 kPa and 0.5 kPa substrates. In conclusion, these findings suggest that AKT is involved in the modulation of ECM stiffness induced osteogenesis, and AKT phosphorylation also influences the subcellular localization and activation of YAP.

Abstract
With the development of three-dimensional (3D) printed technology, 3D printed alloy implants, especially titanium alloy, play a critical role in biomedical fields such as orthopedics and dentistry. However, untreated titanium alloy implants always possess a bioinert surface that prevents the interface osseointegration, which is necessary to perform surface modification to enhance its biological functions. In this article, we discuss the principles and processes of chemical, physical, and biological surface modification technologies on 3D printed titanium alloy implants in detail. Furthermore, the challenges on antibacterial, osteogenesis, and mechanical properties of 3D-printed titanium alloy implants by surface modification are summarized. Future research studies, including the combination of multiple modification technologies or the coordination of the structure and composition of the composite coating are also present. This review provides leading-edge functionalization strategies of the 3D printed titanium alloy implants.

Abstract
Captivating achievements in developing advanced hybrid biostructures through integrating natural biopolymers with inorganic materials (e.g., metals and metalloids) have paved the way towards the application of bioactive organometallic scaffolds (OMSs) in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). Of various biopolymers, chitosan (CS) has been used widely for the development of bioactive OMSs, in large part due to its unique characteristics (e.g., biocompatibility, biodegradability, surface chemistry, and functionalization potential). In integration with inorganic elements, CS has been used to engineer advanced biomimetic matrices to accommodate both embedded cells and drug molecules and serve as scaffolds in TERM. The use of the CS-based OMSs is envisioned to provide a new pragmatic potential in TERM and even in precision medicine. In this review, we aim to elaborate on recent achievements in a variety of CS/metal, CS/metalloid hybrid scaffolds, and discuss their applications in TERM. We also provide comprehensive insights into the formulation, surface modification, characterization, biocompatibility, and cytotoxicity of different types of CS-based OMSs.

Abstract
Bone grafts or prosthetic implant designing for clinical application is challenging due to the complexity of integrated physiological processes. The revolutionary advances of nanotechnology in the biomaterial field expedite and endorse the current unresolved complexity in functional bone graft and implant design. Rare earth (RE) materials are emerging biomaterials in tissue engineering due to their unique biocompatibility, fluorescence upconversion, antimicrobial, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties. Researchers have developed various RE smart nano-biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and implantology applications in the past two decades. Furthermore, researchers have explored the molecular mechanisms of RE material-mediated tissue regeneration. Recent advances in biomedical applications of micro or nano-scale RE materials have provided a foundation for developing novel, cost-effective bone tissue engineering strategies. This review attempted to provide an overview of RE nanomaterials' technological innovations in bone tissue engineering and implantology and summarized the osteogenic, angiogenic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, in vivo bone tissue imaging, and antimicrobial properties of various RE nanomaterials, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved in these biological events. Further, we extend to discuss the challenges and prospects of RE smart nano-biomaterials in the field of bone tissue engineering and implantology.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) have been a focus of research for over five decades for several biomedical applications. Although their use in bone substitution and bone tissue regeneration has gained important attention, recent developments have also seen the expansion of BG applications to the field of soft tissue engineering. Hard and soft tissue repair therapies can benefit from the biological activity of metallic ions released from BGs. These metallic ions are incorporated in the BG network not only for their biological therapeutic effects but also in many cases for influencing the structure and processability of the glass and to impart extra functional properties. The "classical" elements in silicate BG compositions are silicon (Si), phosphorous (P), calcium (Ca), sodium (Na), and potassium (K). In addition, other well-recognized biologically active ions have been incorporated in BGs to provide osteogenic, angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), silver (Ag), strontium (Sr), gallium (Ga), fluorine (F), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), boron (B), lithium (Li), titanium (Ti), and copper (Cu). More recently, rare earth and other elements considered less common or, some of them, even "exotic" for biomedical applications, have found room as doping elements in BGs to enhance their biological and physical properties. For example, barium (Ba), bismuth (Bi), chlorine (Cl), chromium (Cr), dysprosium (Dy), europium (Eu), gadolinium (Gd), ytterbium (Yb), thulium (Tm), germanium (Ge), gold (Au), holmium (Ho), iodine (I), lanthanum (La), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), niobium (Nb), nitrogen (N), palladium (Pd), rubidium (Rb), samarium (Sm), selenium (Se), tantalum (Ta), tellurium (Te), terbium (Tb), erbium (Er), tin (Sn), tungsten (W), vanadium (V), yttrium (Y) as well as zirconium (Zr) have been included in BGs. These ions have been found to be particularly interesting for enhancing the biological performance of doped BGs in novel compositions for tissue repair (both hard and soft tissue) and for providing, in some cases, extra functionalities to the BG, for example fluorescence, luminescence, radiation shielding, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. This review summarizes the influence of incorporating such less-common elements in BGs with focus on tissue engineering applications, usually exploiting the bioactivity of the BG in combination with other functional properties imparted by the presence of the added elements.

Abstract
The clay/polymeric matrices have much attention from researchers in bio-medical applications due to their numerous uses. This study introduces new orthopedic titanium (Ti) implant with increasing bio-activity by treating the surface of the Ti implant with bio-compatible composite coating. Wollastonite (WST) clay combined minerals (Mg2+and Gd3+) substituted hydroxyapatite (HAP)/Starch composite was prepared using in-situ co-precipitation method. It was successfully coated on the orthopedic grade Ti plate by the Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) method. The functionality, phase, morphology, and bio-activity analysis of the composite were evaluated by FT-IR, XRD, HR-TEM, and SEM analysis, respectively. The mechanical property, i.e., Vickers microhardness value of the MHAP/Starch/WST composite coated Ti plate, showed 242 ± 1.92 Hv. The in-vitro MG-63 osteoblast cells viability, differentiation, and Ca mineralization of MHAP/Starch/WST composite suggests that this new implant will be used for bone regeneration application after careful evaluation of in-vivo and clinical studies.

Abstract
The introduction of nanoparticles into bone tissue engineering strategies is beneficial to govern cell fate into osteogenesis and the regeneration of large bone defects. The present study explored the role of nanoparticles to advance osteogenesis with a focus on the cellular and molecular pathways involved. Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Embase, Scopus, and Science Direct databases were explored for those published articles relevant to the involvement of nanoparticles in osteogenic cellular pathways. As multifunctional compounds, nanoparticles contribute to scaffold-free and scaffold-based tissue engineering strategies to progress osteogenesis and bone regeneration. They regulate inflammatory responses and osteo/angio/osteoclastic signaling pathways to generate an osteogenic niche. Besides, nanoparticles interact with biomolecules, enhance their half-life and bioavailability. Nanoparticles are promising candidates to promote osteogenesis. However, the interaction of nanoparticles with the biological milieu is somewhat complicated, and more considerations are recommended on the employment of nanoparticles in clinical applications because of NP-induced toxicities.

Abstract
Holmium-containing bioactive glasses can be applied in bone cancer treatment because the holmium content can be neutron activated, having suitable properties for brachytherapy applications, while the bioactive glass matrix can regenerate the bone alterations induced by the tumor. To facilitate the application of these glasses in clinical practice, we proposed a composite based on Poloxamer 407 thermoresponsive hydrogel, with suitable properties for applications as injectable systems. Therefore, in this work, we evaluated the influence of holmium-containing glass particles on the properties of Poloxamer 407 hydrogel (20 w/w.%), including self-assembly ability and biological properties. 58S bioactive glasses (58SiO2-33CaO-9P2O5) containing different Ho2O3 amounts (1.25, 2.5, 3.75, and 5 wt.%) were incorporated into the hydrogel. The formulations were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, rheological tests, and [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] MTT cell viability against pre-osteoblastic and osteosarcoma cells. The results evidenced that neither the glass particles dispersed in the hydrogel nor the holmium content in the glasses significantly influenced the hydrogel self-assembly ability (Tmic ~13.8 °C and Tgel ~20 °C). Although, the glass particles considerably diminished the hydrogel viscosity in one order of magnitude at body temperature (37 °C). The cytotoxicity results evidenced that the formulations selectively favored pre-osteoblastic cell proliferation and osteosarcoma cell death. In conclusion, the formulation containing glass with the highest fraction of holmium content (5 wt.%) had the best biological results outcomes aiming its application as theragenerative materials for bone cancer treatment.

Abstract
This review presents the recent advances and the current state-of-the-art of bioactive glass-based composite biomaterials intended for bone regeneration. Composite materials comprise two (or more) constituents at the nanometre scale, in which typically, one constituent is organic and functions as the matrix phase and the other constituent is inorganic and behaves as the reinforcing phase. Such materials, thereby, more closely resemble natural bio-nanocomposites such as bone. Various glass compositions in combination with a wide range of natural and synthetic polymers have been evaluated in vivo under experimental conditions ranging from unloaded critical-sized defects to mechanically-loaded, weight-bearing sites with highly favourable outcomes. Additional possibilities include controlled release of anti-osteoporotic drugs, ions, antibiotics, pro-angiogenic substances and pro-osteogenic substances. Histological and morphological evaluations suggest the formation of new, highly vascularised bone that displays signs of remodelling over time. With the possibility to tailor the mechanical and chemical properties through careful selection of individual components, as well as the overall geometry (from mesoporous particles and micro-/nanospheres to 3D scaffolds and coatings) through innovative manufacturing processes, such biomaterials present exciting new avenues for bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
PURPOSE To develop the surface-treated metal implant with highly encouraged positive properties, including high anti-corrosiveness, bio-activeness and bio-compatibleness for orthopedic applications. METHODS In this work, the surface of commercially pure titanium (Ti) metal was treated with bio-compatible polydopamine (PD) by merely immersing the Ti plate in PD solution. The composite of trivalent lanthanide minerals (La3+, Ce3+ and Gd3+)-substituted hydroxyapatite (MHAP) with Aloe vera (AV) gel was prepared and coated on the PD-Ti plate by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The choice of trivalent lanthanide ions is based on their bio-compatible nature and bone-seeking properties. The formation of the PD layer, composites, and composite coatings on Ti plate and PD-Ti surface was confirmed by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and HR-TEM observations. In-vitro assessments such as osteoblasts like MG-63 cell viability, alkaline phosphatase activity and mineralization ability of the MHAP/AV composite were tested, and the composite-coated plate was implanted into a rat bone defect model for in-vivo bone regeneration studies. RESULTS The coating ability of the MHAP/AV composite was highly preferred to PD-treated Ti plate than an untreated Ti plate due to the metal absorption ability of PD. This was confirmed by SEM analysis. The in-vitro and in-vivo studies show the better osteogenic ability of MHAP/AV composite at 14th day and 4th week of an experimental period, respectively. CONCLUSION The osteoblast ability of the fabricated device without producing any adverse effect in the rat model recommends that the fabricated device would serve as a better platform on the hard tissue regeneration for load-bearing applications of orthopedics.

Abstract
Bone defects or fractures generally heal in the absence of major interventions due to the high regenerative capacity of bone tissue. However, in situations of severe/large bone defects, these orchestrated regeneration mechanisms are impaired. With advances in modern medicine, natural and synthetic bio-scaffolds from bioceramics and polymers that support bone growth have emerged and gained intense research interest. In particular, scaffolds that recapitulate the molecular cues of extracellular signals, particularly growth factors, offer potential as therapeutic bone biomaterials. The current challenges for these therapies include the ability to engineer materials that mimic the biological and mechanical properties of the real bone tissue matrix, whilst simultaneously supporting bone vascularization. In this review, we discuss the very recent innovative strategies in bone biomaterial technology, including those of endogenous biomaterials and cell/drug delivery systems that promote bone regeneration. We present our understanding of their current value and efficacy, and the future perspectives for bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The rising concerns of the recurrence and bone deficiency in surgical treatment of malignant bone tumors have raised an urgent need of the advance of multifunctional therapeutic platforms for efficient tumor therapy and bone regeneration. Herein, the construction of a multifunctional biomaterial system is reported by the integration of 2D Nb2 C MXene wrapped with S-nitrosothiol (RSNO)-grafted mesoporous silica with 3D-printing bioactive glass (BG) scaffolds (MBS). The near infrared (NIR)-triggered photonic hyperthermia of MXene in the NIR-II biowindow and precisely controlled nitric oxide (NO) release are coordinated for multitarget ablation of bone tumors to enhance localized osteosarcoma treatment. The in situ formed phosphorus and calcium components degraded from BG scaffold promote bone-regeneration bioactivity, augmented by sufficient blood supply triggered by on-demand NO release. The tunable NO generation plays a crucial role in sequential adjuvant tumor ablation, combinatory promotion of coupled vascularization, and bone regeneration. This study demonstrates a combinatory osteosarcoma ablation and a full osseous regeneration as enabled by the implantation of MBS. The design of multifunctional scaffolds with the specific features of controllable NO release, highly efficient photothermal conversion, and stimulatory bone regeneration provides an intriguing biomaterial platform for the diversified treatment of bone tumors.
