Abstract
Bone defects can originate from a variety of causes, including trauma, cancer, congenital deformity, and surgical reconstruction. Success of the current "gold standard" treatment (i.e., autologous bone grafts) is greatly influenced by insufficient or inappropriate bone stock. There is thus a critical need for the development of new, engineered materials for bone repair. This review describes the use of natural and synthetic hydrogels as scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. We discuss many of the advantages that hydrogels offer as bone repair materials, including their potential for osteoconductivity, biodegradability, controlled growth factor release, and cell encapsulation. We also discuss the use of hydrogels in composite devices with metals, ceramics, or polymers. These composites are useful because of the low mechanical moduli of hydrogels. Finally, the potential for thermosetting and photo-cross-linked hydrogels as three-dimensionally (3D) printed, patient-specific devices is highlighted. Three-dimensional printing enables controlled spatial distribution of scaffold materials, cells, and growth factors. Hydrogels, especially natural hydrogels present in bone matrix, have great potential to augment existing bone tissue engineering devices for the treatment of critical size bone defects.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art of biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials based on calcium orthophosphates that are suitable for biomedical applications is presented in this review. Since these types of biomaterials offer many significant and exciting possibilities for hard tissue regeneration, this subject belongs to a rapidly expanding area of biomedical research. Through successful combinations of the desired properties of matrix materials with those of fillers (in such systems, calcium orthophosphates might play either role), innovative bone graft biomaterials can be designed. Various types of biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials based on calcium orthophosphates, either those already in use or being investigated for biomedical applications, are extensively discussed. Many different formulations, in terms of the material constituents, fabrication technologies, structural and bioactive properties as well as both in vitro and in vivo characteristics, have already been proposed. Among the others, the nanostructurally controlled biocomposites, those containing nanodimensional compounds, biomimetically fabricated formulations with collagen, chitin and/or gelatin as well as various functionally graded structures seem to be the most promising candidates for clinical applications. The specific advantages of using biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials based on calcium orthophosphates in the selected applications are highlighted. As the way from the laboratory to the hospital is a long one, and the prospective biomedical candidates have to meet many different necessities, this review also examines the critical issues and scientific challenges that require further research and development.

Abstract
To control the mechanical properties and biodegradability of self-organized hydroxyapatite/collagen (HAp/Col) nanocomposites, cross-linkage was introduced into the composites with glutaraldehyde (GA). The HAp/Col composite suspensions, prepared by a simultaneous titration method and aged for 3h, were cross-linked with the reagents for 10min under vigorous stirring. The precipitates obtained were filtrated and compacted by dehydration under a uniaxial pressure. The particle size distribution, 3-point bending strength, contained water amount and swelling ratio of the composites were examined as a function of cross-linkage amount; the biodegradability was estimated by animal tests using rabbits. As regards the cross-linked composites, no long-rage alignment of HAp crystals along collagen molecules was found with a transmission electron microscope, suggesting that the cross-linking reagents suppressed their long-range self-organization mechanism. The 3-point bending strength increased with the GA content and took a maximal value at 1.35mmol/g(col). The animal tests indicated no toxicity and osteoclastic resorption with good osteoconductivity. The resorption rate was decreased with increasing GA concentration. These results suggest that GA cross-linkage controls mechanical properties and resorption rate without reducing high biocompatibility of the composite.

Abstract
A hydroxyapatite/type I collagen (HAp/Col) composite, aligning hydroxyapatite nanocrystals along collagen molecules, has been prepared. The biocompatibility, osteoconductive activity, and efficacy as a carrier of rhBMP-2 of this novel biomaterial implanted in the weight-bearing site have been examined. The HAp/Col implants (15 mm in diameter and 20 mm in length) with a surface cross-linked layer containing rhBMP-2 (0 or 400 microg/ml) were implanted into bone defects of tibiae in three beagle dogs and fixed according to the Ilizarov method. As a control, bone defects of 20 mm in two beagle dogs did not receive implants, and the dogs were allowed to walk using an Ilizarov extraskeletal fixator. The specimens were removed from one dog in each group after 12 weeks. Also, the Ilizarov fixators in the rhBMP-treated dogs were removed after 12 weeks, after which full weight bearing started. The specimens were further taken out after 18 and 24 weeks in the rhBMP-treated and non-rhBMP-treated dogs, and after 24 weeks in the control group. The change of bone mineral density, as well as radiological and histological findings, suggest that the implants are able to induce bone remodeling units and are a superior carrier of rhBMP-2 due to the stimulation of early callus and new bone formation.

Abstract
Collagen was processed into films in mixtures containing various ratios of water, propylene glycol, and ethanol. An experimental mixture design was applied to characterize the effects of individual solvents and their interactions on the mechanical properties of collagen films. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the surface properties of collagen films. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and related characteristics of collagen films were also evaluated with dynamic mechanical analysis. The effect of in situ forming hydroxyapatite (HAP) within collagen films at a concentration of 10 mM on the physical characteristics of these films was evaluated by the same methods. With X-ray and SEM examinations, it was confirmed that HAP was formed inside the collagen film. However, the UTS of collagen films without HAP was 4-5 times higher than that with HAP. This was probably due to the discontinuity of the film structure caused by HAP in the collagen films. The results of a statistical analysis of the experimental design revealed the influence of the solvent mixtures on the mechanical properties of the collagen films with and without HAP, showing similar responses for the UTS and modulus of elasticity. Both parameters showed a maximal response in the solvent range containing a lower percentage of ethanol with the desired percentage of propylene glycol to plasticize the collagen films.

Abstract
Biomimetic configurational arrays of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals on several bio-organics, collagen (Col), chondroitin sulfate (ChS), and their mixture, were comparatively studied. The nanocomposites of HAp/Col, HAp/ChS, and HAp/Col/ChS were synthesized through a precipitation method with calcium hydroxide suspension and phosphoric acid solution containing Col, ChS, and their mixture, respectively. The (0 0 2) diffraction of the synthesized HAp crystals on a Col fiber showed an around 60 arching angle, while that on a ChS fiber showed just around 10 degrees. The same configurational arrays of HAp crystals could also be obtained on the mixture of Col and ChS fibers. The different electron diffraction patterns of the HAp crystals on the Col and ChS fibers were explained by the different macromolecular configurations of the Col and ChS fibrils which compose their fibers. The results may be applicable to develop a bone substitute which mimics the peculiar configurational arrays of HAp crystals found in bone and their detailed organic composition.

Abstract
When bone is lost due to injury and/or illness, the defects are generally filled with natural bone because artificial bone materials have problems of bioaffinity. However, natural bone also has supply and infection problems. If an artificial material has the same biological properties as bone, it can replace natural bone for grafting. We synthesized a hydroxyapaite (HAp) and collagen (Col) composite by a simultaneous titration coprecipitation method using Ca(OH)2, H3PO4 and porcine atelocollagen as starting materials. The composite obtained showed a self-organized nanostructure similar to bone assembled by the chemical interaction between HAp and Col. The consolidated composite by a cold isostatic pressure of 200 MPa indicated a quarter of the mechanical strength of bone. It also indicated the same biological properties as grafted bone: The material was resorbed by phagocytosis of osteoclast-like cells and conducted osteoblasts to form new bone in the surrounding area. This HAp/Col composite having similar nanostructure and composition can replace autologous bone grafts.

Abstract
Cellular toxicity, cell adhesion and proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were investigated for an artificial bone substitute composed of heated carbonate apatite (CAp) and Type I atelocollagen (AtCol) extracted from bovine tail skins (88/12 in %wt/wt). To enhance the intramolecular crosslinking between collagen molecules, the CAp-AtCol substitutes were irradiated by ultraviolet rays (wave length 254 nm) at 4 degrees C for 4 h or vacuum dried at 150 degrees C for 2 h. Cytotoxicity tests by a direct contact method and an extract dilution method revealed that the CAp-AtCol substitutes were cytocompatible for balb 3T3 fibroblasts. Osteoblast adhesion studies demonstrated that the substitute disks composed of 980 degrees C-heated CAp and AtCol were significantly more adhesive for osteoblasts than those of 1,200 degrees C-sintered CAp and AtCol (p < 0.05). Proliferation studies showed that the number of osteoblasts grown in the media containing substitutes of 980 degrees C-heated CAp and AtCol was statistically higher than grown in those of 1,200 degrees C-sintered CAp and AtCol after 5 days (p < 0.05). It was found that osteoblasts grown in the substitutes of 980 degrees C-heated CAp and AtCol only expressed similar ALP activity to the controls. These results suggested that the substitutes consisting of 980 degrees C-heated CAp and AtCol show more favorable interactions with osteoblasts than those of 1,200 degrees C-sintered CAp and AtCol.

Abstract
The role of citric acid in a simulated body fluid (SBF) was examined with the main focus on its induction ability of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nucleation on a bioinert collagen membrane. Collagen membranes were soaked in the SBF with citric acid concentrations in the range of 0-4 mM; then, carbonate-containing HAp crystals grew within a limited range, i.e., 0.3-2 mM. The results were explained in terms of chemical interaction among calcium ion, citric acid and collagen membrane, especially strong chelation ability of citric acid with the calcium ion.
