Incorporation of NGR1 promotes bone regeneration of injectable HA/nHAp hydrogels by anti-inflammation regulation via a MAPK/ERK signaling pathway. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:992961.

Abstract
Suitable bone grafts are commonly required to achieve successful bone regeneration, wherein much effort has been spent to optimize their osteogenesis. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that reducing the levels of TNF-α can enhance bone regeneration at the injury site. Notoginsenoside R1 (NGR1) has been extensively studied in the field of anti-inflammation and regenerative medicine. Nanosized hydroxyapatite (nHAp) possesses excellent biocompatibility and osteoconductivity. In this study, we fabricated a thermoresponsive, injectable hyaluronic acid/nHAp (HA/nHAp) composite hydrogel incorporated with NGR1 to promote bone regeneration. Furthermore, NGR1-HA/nHAp hydrogel could enhance bone regeneration than those of HA and HA/nHAp hydrogels, profited by the underlying osteoblastic mechanism that NGR1 could facilitate activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway and down-regulate the expression of TNF-α, ultimately upregulated expression of osteogenic genes. In summary, the NGR1-HA/nHAp composite hydrogel with controlled inflammation, and excellent osteogenic effect, will have great potential for use in bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Poly-(lactide-co-glycolide acid) (PLGA) has been widely investigated as scaffold material for bone tissue engineering owing to its biosafety, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. However, the bioinert surface of PLGA may fail in regulating cellular behavior and directing osteointegration between the scaffold and the host tissue. In this article, oxidized chondroitin sulfate (oCS) and type I collagen (Col I) were assembled onto PLGA surface via layer by layer technique (LbL) as an adhesive coating for the attachment of inorganic minerals. The multilayer-modified PLGA scaffold was mineralized in vitro to ensure the deposition of nanohydroxyapatite (nHAP). It was found that nHAP crystals were more uniformly and firmly attached on the multilayer-modified PLGA as compared with the pure PLGA scaffold, which remarkably improved PLGA surface and mechanical properties. Additionally, in vitro biocompatibility of PLGA scaffold, in terms of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) attachment, spreading and proliferation was greatly enhanced by nHAP coating and multilayer deposition. Furthermore, the fabricated composite scaffold also shows the ability to promote the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through the up-regulation of osteogenic marker genes. Thus, this novel biomimetic composite scaffold might achieve a desirable therapeutic result for bone tissue regeneration. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Bioinspired synthesis of hierarchically structured calcium phosphate (CaP) material is a highly promising strategy for developing improved bone substitute materials. However, synthesis of CaP materials with outstanding mechanical properties still remains an ongoing challenge. Inspired by the formation of lamellar structure in nacre, we designed an organic matrix composed of chitosan and cis-butenediolic acid (maleic acid, MAc) that could assemble into a layered complex and further guide the mineralization of monetite crystals, resulting in the formation of organized and parallel arrays of monetite platelets with a brick-and-mortar structure. Using the layered monetite-chitosan composite as a precursor, we were able to synthesize hydroxyapatite (HAp) with multiscale hierarchically ordered structure via a topotactic phase transformation process. On the nanoscale, needlelike HAp crystallites assembled into organized bundles that aligned to form highly oriented plates on the microscale. On the large-scale level, these plates with different crystal orientations were stacked together to form a layered structure. The organized structures and composite feature yielded CaP materials with improved mechanical properties close to those of bone. Our study introduces a biomimetic approach that may be practical for the design of advanced, mechanically robust materials for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Scaffolds used in tissue engineering applications should have high biocompatibility with minimum allergic, toxic, apoptotic, or necrotic effects on the growing cells and newly forming tissue and, if possible, have antimicrobial property to prevent infection at the host site. In this study, novel micro-fibrous chitosan scaffolds, having mineralized bioactive surface to enhance cell adhesion and a model antibiotic (gentamicin) to prevent bacterial attack, were prepared. The effects of the scaffolds on proliferation, viability, apoptosis, and necrosis of Saos-2 cells are reported for the first time. Wet spinning technique was used in the scaffold preparation and biomineralization was achieved by incubating them in five-time concentrated simulated body fluid for 2, 7, or 14 days (coded as CH-BM/2, CH-BM/7, and CH-BM/14, respectively). Gentamicin, an effectively used antibiotic in bone treatments, was loaded by vacuum-pressure cycle. Energy-dispersive X-ray results demonstrated that Ca/P ratio of the mineral phase varies depending on the incubation period. When the scaffolds were cultured with Saos-2 cells, cell adhesion and extracellular matrix formation occurred on all types of scaffolds. Alamar Blue cytotoxicity tests showed correlation among mineral concentration and cytotoxicity where CH-BM/2 had significantly more favorable properties. For all types of scaffolds, apoptosis and necrosis were less than 10%, meaning the samples are biocompatible. Gentamicin-loaded scaffolds showed high antimicrobial efficacy against Escherichia coli. The presence of mineral phase enhanced the adhesive capacity of cells and entrapment efficiency of antibiotic. These results suggest that the bioactive and antimicrobial scaffolds prepared in this study can act as promising matrices in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Clinical treatments of significant bone defects involve invasive procedures such as the application of auto- and allografts. These procedures present many limitations including the potential for infection and rejection. There is therefore a need to develop novel therapeutic strategies able to exploit the natural regenerative potential of bone and that can be delivered in a less invasive manner. Among the materials studied for the development of novel scaffolds, stimuli-responsive gels containing hydroxyapatite and carbon nanotubes as nanofillers have generated great interest. In the present work, chitosan gels containing chitosan grafted CNTs and chitosan-hydroxyapatite complex have been formed by cross-linking with glycerol phosphate. The addition of the nanofillers afforded hydrogels with a faster sol/gel transition at 37 °C and enhanced mechanical properties. The thermosensitive composite gels also showed a good bioactivity profile associated with potential for the prolonged delivery of protein drugs. The inclusion of chemically cross-linked CNTs and HA in thermosensitive gels afforded injectable composite materials with enhanced properties, including reduction of gelation time, improved mechanical properties, good bioactivity, and prolonged drug release.

Abstract
The ability to probe morphology and phase distribution in complex systems at multiple length scales unravels the interplay of nano- and micrometer-scale factors at the origin of macroscopic behavior. While different electron- and X-ray-based imaging techniques can be combined with spectroscopy at high resolutions, owing to experimental time limitations the resulting fields of view are too small to be representative of a composite sample. Here a new X-ray imaging set-up is proposed, combining full-field transmission X-ray microscopy (TXM) with X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to follow two-dimensional and three-dimensional morphological and chemical changes in large volumes at high resolution (tens of nanometers). TXM XANES imaging offers chemical speciation at the nanoscale in thick samples (>20 µm) with minimal preparation requirements. Further, its high throughput allows the analysis of large areas (up to millimeters) in minutes to a few hours. Proof of concept is provided using battery electrodes, although its versatility will lead to impact in a number of diverse research fields.
