Abstract
The development of well-adherent, amorphous, and bioactive glass coatings for metallic implants remains a critical challenge in biomedical engineering. Traditional bioactive glasses are susceptible to crystallization and exhibit a thermal expansion mismatch with implant materials. This study introduces a novel approach to overcome these limitations by employing systematic Na2O substitution with CaO in borosilicate glasses. In-depth structural analysis (MD simulations, Raman spectroscopy, and NMR) reveals a denser network with smaller silicate rings, enhancing thermal stability, reducing thermal expansion, and influencing dissolution kinetics. This tailored composition exhibited optimal bioactivity (in vitro formation of bone-like apatite within 3 days) and a coefficient of thermal expansion closely matching Ti-6Al-4V, a widely used implant material. Furthermore, a consolidation process, meticulously designed with insights from crystallization kinetics and the viscosity-temperature relationship, yielded a crack-free, amorphous coating on Ti-6Al-4V substrates. This novel coating demonstrates excellent cytocompatibility and strong antibacterial action, suggesting superior clinical potential compared with existing technologies.

Abstract
Bioactive glass (BG) is a class of biocompatible, biodegradable, multifunctional inorganic glass materials, which is successfully used for orthopedic and dental applications, with several products already approved for clinical use. Apart from exhibiting osteogenic properties, BG is also known to be angiogenic and antibacterial. Recently, BG's role in immunomodulation has been gradually revealed. While the therapeutic effect of BG is mostly reported in the context of bone and skin-related regeneration, its application in regenerating other tissues/organs, such as muscle, cartilage, and gastrointestinal tissue, has also been explored recently. The strategies of applying BG have also expanded from powder or cement form to more advanced strategies such as fabrication of composite polymer-BG scaffold, 3D printing of BG-loaded scaffold, and BG-induced extracellular vesicle production. This review presents a concise overview of the recent applications of BG in regenerative medicine. Various regenerative strategies of BG will be first introduced. Next, the applications of BG in regenerating various tissues/organs, such as bone, cartilage, muscle, tendon, skin, and gastrointestinal tissue, will be discussed. Finally, summarizing clinical applications of BG for tissue regeneration will conclude, and outline future challenges and directions for the clinical translation of BG.

Abstract
The intricate nature of oral-maxillofacial structure and function, coupled with the dynamic oral bacterial environment, presents formidable obstacles in addressing the repair and regeneration of oral-maxillofacial bone defects. Numerous characteristics should be noticed in oral-maxillofacial bone repair, such as irregular morphology of bone defects, homeostasis between hosts and microorganisms in the oral cavity and complex periodontal structures that facilitate epithelial ingrowth. Therefore, oral-maxillofacial bone repair necessitates restoration materials that adhere to stringent and specific demands. This review starts with exploring these particular requirements by introducing the particular characteristics of oral-maxillofacial bones and then summarizes the classifications of current bone repair materials in respect of composition and structure. Additionally, we discuss the modifications in current bone repair materials including improving mechanical properties, optimizing surface topography and pore structure and adding bioactive components such as elements, compounds, cells and their derivatives. Ultimately, we organize a range of potential optimization strategies and future perspectives for enhancing oral-maxillofacial bone repair materials, including physical environment manipulation, oral microbial homeostasis modulation, osteo-immune regulation, smart stimuli-responsive strategies and multifaceted approach for poly-pathic treatment, in the hope of providing some insights for researchers in this field. In summary, this review analyzes the complex demands of oral-maxillofacial bone repair, especially for periodontal and alveolar bone, concludes multifaceted strategies for corresponding biomaterials and aims to inspire future research in the pursuit of more effective treatment outcomes.

Desensitizing efficacy of a universal dentin adhesive containing mesoporous bioactive glass on dentin hypersensitivity: a randomized clinical trial with a split-mouth model. Sci Rep 2024; 14:13926. [PMID: 38886498 PMCID: PMC11183245 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-64404-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
This split-mouth blinded randomized controlled study compared the efficacy of a desensitizing agent with oxalate/resin polymer and a universal adhesive containing mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) for dentin hypersensitivity (DH) relief, using Schiff sensitivity score (SSS) and visual analog scale (VAS). Split quadrants containing teeth with DH were treated with either MS Coat ONE or Hi-Bond Universal with MBG as the functional additive. Assessments at baseline, immediately post-application, and at 1- and 2-week follow-ups used standardized stimulus protocols (air, cold, and acid). The SSS difference was the primary outcome, while the VAS difference was the secondary outcome. A mixed linear effect model performed statistical analysis. Immediate DH reduction occurred in response to air stimuli, with a significant decrease in Group HB than in Group MS (p = 0.0178). Cold stimulus reduction exhibited a gradual cumulative effect, with consistently greater reductions in Group HB than in Group MS (p ≤ 0.0377). Both groups effectively managed acidic stimuli, with no significant differences (p > 0.05). The VAS scores decreased gradually over the follow-up period (p < 0.0001). This study highlights the differential efficacy of treatments for various DH triggers and recommends specific approaches based on different stimulus types. The universal adhesive containing MBG demonstrated DH relief potential, promising efficacy identical to or superior to that of a dedicated desensitizing agent. Further research exploring the long-term efficacy and underlying mechanisms is warranted. The universal adhesive containing MBG can be adopted as an in-office desensitizing agent for DH relief. The desensitizing efficacy of universal adhesive matches or surpasses dedicated agents for air and cold stimuli.

The effect of combined use of resin infiltration with different bioactive calcium phosphate-based approaches on enamel white spot lesions: An in vitro study. J Dent 2024; 143:104909. [PMID: 38428717 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.104909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 03/03/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the effect of resin infiltration combined with casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate with fluoride (CPP-ACPF) or bioactive glass (BAG) on the stability of enamel white spot lesions (WSLs) treatment. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-four enamel blocks were prepared from the buccal surfaces of sound human premolars. All enamel blocks were placed in a demineralisation solution for 3 days to establish the artificial enamel WSLs. Enamel blocks with WSLs were randomly divided into three groups (n = 28 each group): RI/B: one-off resin infiltration followed by twice daily BAG treatment; RI/C: one-off resin infiltration followed by twice daily CPP-ACPF treatment; RI: one-off resin infiltration treatment only (as control) and subjected to pH cycling for 7 days. Surface morphology, elemental analysis, crystal characteristics, surface roughness and microhardness of enamel surfaces were investigated by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectrometry observation, X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscope and Vickers' hardness testing, respectively. RESULTS Mean values of the surface roughness (mean±standard deviation (nm)) were 24.52±5.07, 27.39±5.87 and 34.36±4.55 for groups RI/B, RI/C and RI respectively (p = 0.003). The calcium to phosphate ratios were 1.32±0.16, 1.22±0.26 and 0.69±0.24 for groups RI/B, RI/C and RI respectively (p < 0.001). XRD revealed apatite formation in all three groups. The mean enamel surface microhardness (kg/mm2) of the groups were 353.93±28.49, 339.00±27.32 and 330.38±22.55 for groups RI/B, RI/C and RI respectively (p = 0.216). CONCLUSIONS Resin infiltration combined with CPP-ACPF or BAG remineralisation appears to improve the surface properties of WSLs. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The combination of resin infiltration and CPP-ACPF/BAG remineralisation may be a potential treatment for the management of the WSLs.

Abstract
Chronic wounds, especially diabetic, foot and pressure ulcers are a major health problem affecting >10 % of the world's populace. Calcium phosphate materials, particularly, bioactive glasses (BG), used as a potential material for hard and soft tissue repair. This study combines nanostructured 45S5 BG with titania (TiO2) and alumina (Al2O3) into a composite via simple sol-gel method. Prepared composites with alginate (Alg) formed a bioactive nanocomposite hydrogel membrane via freezing method. X-ray diffraction revealed formation of two phases such as Na1.8Ca1.1Si6O14 and β-Na2Ca4(PO4)2SiO4 in the silica network. Fourier transformed InfraRed spectroscopy confirmed the network formation and cross-linking between composite and alginate. <2 % hemolysis, optimal in vitro degradation and porosity was systematically evaluated up to 7 days, resulting in increasing membrane bioactivity. Significant cytocompatibility, cell migration and proliferation and a 3-4-fold increase in Collagen (Col) and Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) expression were obtained. Sustained delivery of 80 % Dox in 24 h and effective growth reduction of S. aureus and destruction of biofilm development against E. coli and S. aureus within 24 h. Anatomical fin regeneration, rapid re-epithelialization and wound closure were achieved within 14 days in both zebrafish and in streptozotocin (STZ) induced rat in vivo animal models with optimal blood glucose levels. Hence, the fabricated bioactive membrane can act as effective wound dressing material, for diabetic chronic infectious wounds.

Abstract
Despite their long history of application in orthopedics, the osteogenic and angiogenic properties as well as the cytocompatibility and protein adsorption of the 45S5- (in wt%: 45.0 SiO2, 24.5 Na2O, 24.5 CaO, 6.0 P2O5) and S53P4- (in wt%: 53.0 SiO2, 23.0 Na2O, 20.0 CaO, 4.0 P2O5) bioactive glass (BG) compositions have not yet been directly compared in one and the same experimental setting. In this study, the influence of morphologically equal granules of both BGs on proliferation, viability, osteogenic differentiation and angiogenic response of human bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) was assessed. Furthermore, their impact on vascular tube formation and adsorption of relevant proteins was evaluated. Both BGs showed excellent cytocompatibility and stimulated osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. The 45S5-BG showed enhanced stimulation of bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2) gene expression and protein production compared to S53P4-BG. While gene expression and protein production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were stimulated, both BGs had only limited influence on tubular network formation. 45S5-BG adsorbed a higher portion of proteins, namely BMP2 and VEGF, on its surface. In conclusion, both BGs show favorable properties with slight advantages for 45S5-BG. Since protein adsorption on BG surfaces is important for their biological performance, the composition of the proteome formed by osteogenic cells cultured on BGs should be analyzed in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that are responsible for BG-mediated stimulation of osteogenic differentiation.

The Development and Characterisation of a P(3HB- co-4HB)-Bioactive Glass-Graphene Hydrogel as a Potential Formulation for Biomedical and Therapeutical Translation. Gels 2024; 10:85. [PMID: 38275859 PMCID: PMC10815745 DOI: 10.3390/gels10010085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The clinical management of wounds is known to be a significant challenge: not only does the dressing need to ensure and provide the appropriate barrier and healing characteristics, but consideration of patient compliance concerning comfort, functionality, and practicality also needs to be included. The poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxubutyrate) (P(3HB-co-4HB)) copolymer, isolated from Cupriavidus malaysiensis USM1020 (C. malaysiensis USM1020), was produced in the presence of excess carbon sources (1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol) using either a shake flask cultivation process or a bioreactor fermentation system. P(3HB-co-4HB) is widely known to be biodegradable and highly biocompatible and contains a tuneable 4HB monomer molar fraction, which is known to affect the final physicochemical properties of the intracellular copolymer. In this paper, we describe not only the fabrication of the polymeric gel but also its optimised profiling using a range of physical and mechanical techniques, i.e., SEM, FTIR, DMA, DSC, and WCA. The further enhancement of the gel through additional functionalisation with sol-gel-derived bioactive glass and liquid-exfoliated graphene was also investigated. The biocompatibility and biological characterisation of the substrates was assessed using murine osteoblasts (MC3T3), human primary dermal fibroblasts (HDFs), human fibroblast (BJ) cells, and standard cell culture assays (i.e., metabolic activity, LDH release, and live/dead staining). In short, P(3HB-co-4HB) was successfully isolated from the bacteria, with the defined physico-chemical profiles dependent on the culture substrate and culturing platform used. The additional enhancement of the copolymer with bioactive glass and/or graphene was also demonstrated by varying the combination loading of the materials, i.e., graphene resulted in an increase in tensile strength (~11 MPa) and the wettability increased following the incorporation of bioactive glass and 0.01 wt% graphene (WCA ~46.3°). No detrimental effects in terms of biocompatibility were noticed during the 7 days of culture in the primary and established cell lines. This study demonstrates the importance of optimising each of the individual components within the biocomposite and their relationship concerning the fine-tuning of the material's properties, thus targeting and impacting the endpoint application.

[PMID: 38167201 PMCID: PMC10763424 DOI: 10.1186/s13036-023-00401-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term nonunion of bone defects is always a difficult problem in orthopaedics treatment. Artificial bone implants made of polymeric materials are expected to solve this problem due to their suitable degradation rate and good biocompatibility. However, the lack of mechanical strength, low osteogenic induction ability and poor hydrophilicity of these synthetic polymeric materials limit their large-scale clinical application. RESULTS In this study, we used bioactive glass (BG) (20%, W/W) and polycaprolactone (PCL, 80%, W/W) as raw materials to prepare a bone repair scaffold (PCL@BG20) using fused deposition modelling (FDM) three-dimensional (3D) printing technology. Subsequently, stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α) chemokines were loaded into the PCL@BG20 scaffold pores with gelatine methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel. The experimental results showed that the prepared scaffold had a porous biomimetic structure mimicking that of cancellous bone, and the compressive strength (44.89 ± 3.45 MPa) of the scaffold was similar to that of cancellous bone. Transwell experiments showed that scaffolds loaded with SDF-1α could promote the recruitment of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). In vivo data showed that treatment with scaffolds containing SDF-1α and BG (PCL@BG-GelMA/SDF-1α) had the best effect on bone defect repair compared to the other groups, with a large amount of new bone and mature collagen forming at the bone defect site. No significant organ toxicity or inflammatory reactions were observed in any of the experimental groups. CONCLUSIONS The results show that this kind of scaffold containing BG and SDF-1α serves the dual functions of recruiting stem cell migration in vivo and promoting bone repair in situ. We envision that this scaffold may become a new strategy for the clinical treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Undesirable effects of tooth bleaching can alter the biomechanical properties of enamel. OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of strontium fluorophosphate bioactive glass (Sr-FPG) on color, microhardness and surface roughness of enamel bleached with 35% hydrogen peroxide. METHODS The labial enamel of 36 extracted intact human anterior teeth were divided into 3 groups (n= 12), group 1 (HP): bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide only, group 2 (Sr-HP): bleaching with Sr-FPG incorporated 35% hydrogen peroxide and group 3 (HP-SrFPG): bleaching with 35% hydrogen peroxide followed by remineralization with Sr-FPG. Four consecutive eight-minute applications of the bleaching gel were done twice in all the groups. Color change (ΔE), microhardness and surface roughness were evaluated at baseline, post-bleaching and post-remineralization using spectrophotometer, Vickers hardness tester and profilometric analysis respectively. RESULTS The mean ΔE among the groups was statistically similar (p> 0.05). Bleaching with HP significantly reduced microhardness (p< 0.05), whereas bleaching with Sr-HP and HP-SrFPG did not (p> 0.05). Post-bleaching microhardness in Sr-HP was significantly higher than HP-SrFPG (p< 0.05). An increased surface roughness was seen in Sr-HP bleached samples (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION The addition of Sr-FPG to hydrogen peroxide significantly improved enamel microhardness than its use post-bleaching. An increase in surface roughness was seen post-bleaching with HP and Sr-HP.

Abstract
Haemorrhage is the leading cause of battlefield deaths and second most common cause for civilian mortality worldwide. Biomaterials-based haemostatic agents are used to aid in bleeding stoppage; mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) are candidates for haemostasis. Previously made Tantalum-containing MBG (Ta-MBG) powders' compositions were fabricated as electrospun fibres for haemostatic applications in the present study. The fibres were fabricated to address the challenges associated with the powder form: difficult to compress without gauze, getting washed away in profuse bleeding, generating dust in the surgical environment, and forming thick callus-difficult to remove for surgeons and painful for patients. Ta-MBGs were based on (80-x)SiO2-15CaO-5P2O5-xTa2O5 mol% compositions with x = 0 (0Ta), 0.5 (0.5Ta), 1 (1Ta), and 5 (5Ta) mol%. The present study details the fibres' in vitro analyses, elucidating their cytotoxic effects, and haemostatic capabilities and relating these observations to fibre chemistry and previously fabricated powders of the same glasses. As expected, when Ta addition is increased at the expense of silica, a new FTIR peak (non-bridging oxygen-silicon, Si-NBO) develops and Si-O-Si peaks become wider. Compared to 0Ta and 1Ta fibres, 0.5Ta show Si-O peaks with reduced intensity. The fibres had a weaker intensity of Si-NBO peaks and release fewer ions than powders. A reduced ion profile provides fibres with a stable matrix for clot formation. The ion release profile for 1Ta and 5Ta fibres was significantly lower than 0Ta and 0.5Ta fibres. Ta-MBGs were not found to be cytotoxic to primary rat fibroblasts using a methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay. Furthermore, a modified activated partial thromboplastin time assay analysing the fibrin absorbance showed that the absorption increases from physiological clotting < 0Ta < 0.5Ta < 5Ta < commercial haemostat, Surgical SNoWTM, Ethicon, USA < 1Ta. Higher absorption signifies a stronger clot. It is concluded that Ta-MBG fibres can provide stable matrix for clot formation and 1Ta can potentially enhance clotting best among other Ta-MBGs.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:127262. [PMID: 37813216 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127262] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2023] [Revised: 09/20/2023] [Accepted: 10/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023]
Abstract
In this study, we present nanocomposites of bioactive glass (BG) and hyaluronic acid (HA) (nano-BGHA) for effective delivery of HA to skin and bone. The synthesis of the nanocomposites has been carried out through the bio-inspired method, which is a modification of the traditional Stober's synthesis as it avoids using ethanol, ammonia, synthetic surfactants, or high-temperature calcination. This environmentally friendly, bio-inspired route allowed the synthesis of mesoporous nanocomposites with an average hydrodynamic radius of ∼190 nm and an average net surface charge of ∼-21 mV. Most nanocomposites are amorphous and bioactive in nature with over 70 % cellular viability for skin and bone cell lines even at high concentrations, along with high cellular uptake (90-100 %). Furthermore, the nanocomposites could penetrate skin cells in a transwell set-up and artificial human skin membrane (StratM®), thus depicting an attractive strategy for the delivery of HA to the skin. The purpose of the study is to develop nanocomposites of HA and BG that can have potential applications in non-invasive treatments that require the delivery of high molecular weight HA such as in the case of osteoarthritis, sports injury treatments, eye drops, wound healing, and some anticancer treatments, if further investigated. The presence of BG further enhances the range to bone-related applications. Additionally, the nanocomposites can have potential cosmeceutical applications where HA is abundantly used, for instance in moisturizers, dermal fillers, shampoos, anti-wrinkle creams, etc.

Abstract
Owing to the development of glass 45S5 (Bioglass®) comprising 45 mol% SiO2, 24.5 mol% Na2O, 24.5 mol% CaO, and 6 mol% P2O5, different compositions of silicate glasses have been developed. When these silicate glasses contact an aqueous environment, such as body fluids, they induce apatite layer formation on their surfaces owing to ion exchange. In addition to promoting hard tissue formation, researchers have sought to enhance the antibacterial properties of these glasses, thereby resulting in the development of metal-doped silicate glasses. The addition of antibacterial metals (silver, copper, zinc, and gallium) to silicate glass offers a promising avenue for combating oral pathogens. In recent years, there has been growing interest in metal-doped phosphate glasses. The release of metal ions can be regulated by modifying the dissolution rate of the phosphate glasses. This review summarizes the metal-doped silicate and phosphate glasses that confer antibacterial activity. Future strategies for the development of dental biomaterials that incorporate metal-doped glass and exhibit antibacterial effects are discussed.

Abstract
Repairing critical-size bone defects still represents a critical clinical challenge in the field of trauma surgery. This study focuses on a physiological design and manufacturing of porous composite scaffold (titanium Ti with 10 % mole iron doped brushite DCPD-Fe3+) which can mimic the biomechanical properties of natural cortical bone, specifically for the purpose of repairing critical-size defects. To achieve this, the principle of design of experiments (DOE) was applied for investigating the impact of sintering temperature, mineral ratio, and volume fraction of porosity on the mechanical properties of the fabricated scaffolds. The fabricated scaffolds had open porosity up to 60 %, with pore size approximately between 100 μm and 850 μm. The stiffness of the porous composite scaffolds varied between 3.30 GPa and 20.50 GPa, while the compressive strength ranged from approximately 130 MPa-165 MPa at sintering temperatures equal to or exceeding 1000 °C. Scaffolds with higher porosity and mineral content demonstrated lower stiffness values, resembling natural bone. Numerical simulation was employed by Ansys Workbench to investigate the stress and strain distribution of a critical size defect in mid-shaft femur which was designed to be replaced with the fabricated scaffold. The fabricated scaffolds showed flexible biomechanical behaviour at the bone/scaffold interface, generating lower stress levels and indicating a better match with the femoral shaft stiffness. The experimental and numerical findings demonstrated promising applications for manufacturing a patient-specific bone scaffold for critical and potentially large defects for reducing stress shielding and minimizing non-union risk.

Bioactive glasses promote rapid pre-osteoblastic cell migration in contrast to hydroxyapatite, while carbonated apatite shows migration inhibiting properties. Sci Rep 2023; 13:20587.

Abstract
Different biomaterials have been clinically used as bone filling materials, although the mechanisms behind the biological effects are incompletely understood. To address this, we compared the effects of five different biomaterials: two bioactive glasses (45S5 and S53P4), hydroxyapatite (HAP), carbonated apatite (CAP), and alumina on the in vitro migration and viability of pre-osteoblastic cells. In addition, we studied the effects of biomaterials' calcium release on cell migration, viability and differentiation. We found differences between the materials as the bioactive glasses promoted rapid pre-osteoblastic cell migration. In contrast, CAP decreased cell migration, which was also associated with lower activity of migration related kinases. Bioactive glasses released significant amounts of calcium into the media, while CAP decreased the calcium concentration. The response of cells to calcium was mechanistically studied by blocking calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) and ATP-gated ion channel P2X7, but this had no effect on cell migration. Surprisingly, HAP and CAP initially decreased cell viability. In summary, bioactive glasses 45S5 and S53P4 had significant and long-lasting effects on the pre-osteoblastic cell migration, which could be related to the observed calcium dissolution. Additionally, bioactive glasses had no negative effects on cell viability, which was observed with HAP and CAP.

Abstract
Bioactive glass (BG) has been widely employed in the field of bone tissue engineering owing to its osteoconductive properties. These properties increase the stiffness and bioactivity of polymeric hydrogels, making them ideal for the repair, replacement, and regeneration of damaged bones. In this study, we investigated the effects of incorporating silanized 45S5 bioactive glass (Si-BG) into gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel (GelMA/Si-BG) for potential bone tissue engineering. Our findings revealed that crosslinking GelMA with Si-BG had a striking increase in bioactivity with and without osteogenic induction of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) when compared to GelMA/BG hydrogels. Meanwhile, both GelMA/Si-BG and GelMA/BG hydrogels were able to maintain the cell viability of hMSC for up to 14 days. Additionally, GelMA/Si-BG hydrogels were shown to have a significantly higher compressive modulus than GelMA/BG hydrogels. This study has demonstrated the introduction of silanized 45S5 BG into GelMA hydrogel bioactivity and mechanical properties of GelMA hydrogels, exemplifying the potential application of silanization of BG in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The introduction of bioactive glasses (BGs) precipitated a paradigm shift in the medical industry and opened the path for the development of contemporary regenerative medicine driven by biomaterials. This composition can bond to live bone and can induce osteogenesis by the release of physiologically active ions. 45S5 BG products have been transplanted effectively into millions of patients around the world, primarily to repair bone and dental defects. Over the years, many other BG compositions have been introduced as innovative biomaterials for repairing soft tissue and delivering drugs. When research first started, many of the accomplishments that have been made today were unimaginable. It appears that the true capacity of BGs has not yet been realized. Because of this, research involving BGs is extremely fascinating. However, to be successful, it requires interdisciplinary cooperation between physicians, glass chemists, and bioengineers. The present paper gives a picture of the existing clinical uses of BGs and illustrates key difficulties deserving to be faced in the future. The challenges range from the potential for BGs to be used in a wide variety of applications. We have high hopes that this paper will be of use to both novice researchers, who are just beginning their journey into the world of BGs, as well as seasoned scientists, in that it will promote conversation regarding potential additional investigation and lead to the discovery of innovative medical applications for BGs.

Mesoporous Bioactive Glass-Incorporated Injectable Strontium-Containing Calcium Phosphate Cement Enhanced Osteoconductivity in a Critical-Sized Metaphyseal Defect in Osteoporotic Rats. Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:1203. [PMID: 37892933 PMCID: PMC10604136 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10101203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 09/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo bone formation behavior of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles incorporated in a pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100G10) was studied in a metaphyseal fracture-defect model in ovariectomized rats and compared to a plain pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement (pS100) and control (empty defect) group, respectively. In vitro testing showed good cytocompatibility on human preosteoblasts and ongoing dissolution of the MBG component. Neither the released strontium nor the BMG particles from the pS100G10 had a negative influence on cell viability. Forty-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three different treatment groups: (1) pS100 (n = 15), (2) pS100G10 (n = 15), and (3) empty defect (n = 15). Twelve weeks after bilateral ovariectomy and multi-deficient diet, a 4 mm wedge-shaped fracture-defect was created at the metaphyseal area of the left femur in all animals. The originated fracture-defect was substituted with pS100 or pS100G10 or left empty. After six weeks, histomorphometrical analysis revealed a statistically significant higher bone volume/tissue volume ratio in the pS100G10 group compared to the pS100 (p = 0.03) and empty defect groups (p = 0.0001), indicating enhanced osteoconductivity with the incorporation of MBG. Immunohistochemistry revealed a significant decrease in the RANKL/OPG ratio for pS100 (p = 0.004) and pS100G10 (p = 0.003) compared to the empty defect group. pS100G10 showed a statistically higher expression of BMP-2. In addition, a statistically significant higher gene expression of alkaline phosphatase, osteoprotegerin, collagen1a1, collagen10a1 with a simultaneous decrease in RANKL, and carbonic anhydrase was seen in the pS100 and pS100G10 groups compared to the empty defect group. Mass spectrometric imaging by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) showed the release of Sr2+ ions from both pS100 and pS100G10, with a gradient into the interface region. ToF-SIMS imaging also revealed that resorption of the MBG particles allowed for new bone formation in cement pores. In summary, the current work shows better bone formation of the injectable pasty strontium-containing calcium phosphate bone cement with incorporated mesoporous bioactive glass compared to the bioactive-free bone cement and empty defects and can be considered for clinical application for osteopenic fracture defects in the future.

Abstract
Despite over 50 years of silicate bioactive glass (SBG) research, commercial success, and 6000+ published articles, there remains a lack of understanding of how soluble silicate (Si) species released from SBGs influences cellular responses. Using a systematic approach, this article quantitatively compares the in vitro responses of cells to SBG dissolution products reported in the literature and determines if there is a Si concentration ([Si]) dependent effect on cell behaviour. Cell behavioural responses to SBGs [Si] in dissolution products included metabolic activity (reported in 52 % of articles), cell number (24 %), protein production (22 %), gene expression (22 %) and biomineralization (24 %). There was a difference in the [Si] reported to cause increased (desirable) cellular responses (median = 30.2 ppm) compared to the [Si] reported to cause decreased (undesirable) cellular responses (median = 52.0 ppm) (P ≤ 0.001). The frequency of undesirable outcomes increased with increasing [Si], with ∼3 times more negative outcomes reported above 52 ppm. We also investigated the effect of [Si] on specific cellular outcomes (e.g., metabolic activity, angiogenesis, osteogenesis), if cell type/species influenced these responses and the impact of other ions (Ca, P, Na) within the SBG dissolution media on cell behaviour. This review has, for the first time, quantitatively compared the cellular responses to SBGs from the literature, providing a quantitative overview of SBG in vitro practices and presents evidence of a range of [Si] where desirable cellular responses may be more likely (30-52 ppm). This review also demonstrates the need for greater standardisation of in vitro methodological approaches and recommends some minimum reporting standards. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This systematic review investigates the relationship between the concentration of Si released from Si-bioactive glasses (SBG) and in vitro cellular responses. Si releasing materials continue to be of considerable scientific, commercial, and medical interest (with 1500+ articles published in the last 3 years) but there is considerable variation in the reported biologically effective Si concentrations and on the importance of Si on cell behaviour. Despite the variation in methodological approaches, this article demonstrated statistical commonalities in the Si concentrations that cause desirable and undesirable cellular behaviours, suggesting a window where positive cellular outcomes are more likely. This review also provides a quantitative analysis of in vitro practices within the bioactive glass field and highlights the need for greater standardisation.

Abstract
Biomacromolecules control mineral formation during the biomineralization process, but the effects of the organic components' functionality on the type of mineral phase is still unclear. The biomimetic precipitation of calcium phosphates in a physiological medium containing either polycarboxybetaine (PCB) or polysulfobetaine (PSB) was investigated in this study. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) or a mixture of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) in different ratios were identified depending on the sequence of initial solution mixing and on the type of the negative functional group of the polymer used. The more acidic character of the sulfo group in PSB than the carboxy one in PCB determines the dominance of the acidic solid phases, namely, an acidic amorphous phase or DCPD. In the presence of PCB, the formation of ACP with acicular particles arranged in bundles with the same orientation was observed. A preliminary study on the remineralization potential of the hybrid material with the participation of PSB and a mixture of OCP and DCPD did not show an increase in enamel density, contrary to the materials based on PCB and ACP. Moreover, the latter showed the creation of a newly formed crystal layer similar to that of the underlying enamel. This defines PCB/ACP as a promising material for enamel remineralization.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) are currently widely used bone replacement materials with excellent bioactivity, but have considerable disadvantages like slow degradation. For critical-sized defects, however, an improved degradation is essential to match the tissue regeneration, especially in younger patients who are still growing. We demonstrate that a combination of CPC with mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles led to an enhanced degradation in vitro and in a critical alveolar cleft defect in rats. Additionally, to support new bone formation the MBG was functionalized with hypoxia conditioned medium (HCM) derived from rat bone marrow stromal cells. HCM-functionalized scaffolds showed an improved cell proliferation and the highest formation of new bone volume. This highly flexible material system together with the drug delivery capacity is adaptable to patient specific needs and has great potential for clinical translation.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 153:213521.

Abstract
Since the introduction of the 45S5-bioactive glass (BG), numerous new BG compositions have been developed. Compared to the 45S5-BG, 1393-BG shows favorable processing properties due to its low crystallization tendency and the 1393-BG-based borosilicate 0106-B1-BG exhibits improved angiogenic properties due to its boron content. Despite their close (chemical) relationship, the biological properties of the mentioned BG composition have not yet been comparatively examined. In this study, the effects of the BGs on proliferation, viability, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic factor production of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells were assessed. Scaffolds made of the BGs were introduced in a critical-sized femur defect model in rats in order to analyze their impact on bone defect regeneration. In vitro, 1393-BG and 0106-B1-BG outperformed 45S5-BG with regard to cell proliferation and viability. 1393-BG enhanced osteogenic differentiation; 0106-B1-BG promoted angiogenic factor production. In vivo, 0106-B1-BG and 45S5-BG outperformed 1393-BG in terms of angiogenic and osteoclastic response resulting in improved bone regeneration. In conclusion, the biological properties of BGs can be significantly modified by tuning their composition. Demonstrating favorable processing properties and an equally strong in vivo bone regeneration potential as 45S5-BG, 0106-B1-BG qualifies as a basis to incorporate other bioactive ions to improve its biological properties.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) are especially useful materials in soft and bone tissue engineering and even in dentistry. They can be the solution to many medical problems, and they have a huge role in the healing processes of bone fractures. Interestingly, they can also promote skin regeneration and wound healing. Bioactive glasses are able to attach to the bone tissues and form an apatite layer which further initiates the biomineralization process. The formed intermediate apatite layer makes a connection between the hard tissue and the bioactive glass material which results in faster healing without any complications or side effects. This review paper summarizes the most recent advancement in the preparation of diverse types of BGs, such as silicate-, borate- and phosphate-based bioactive glasses. We discuss their physical, chemical, and mechanical properties detailing how they affect their biological performances. In order to get a deeper insight into the state-of-the-art in this area, we also consider their medical applications, such as bone regeneration, wound care, and dental/bone implant coatings.

Abstract
Mesoporous glasses are a promising class of bioresorbable biomaterials characterized by high surface area and extended porosity in the range of 2 to 50 nm. These peculiar properties make them ideal materials for the controlled release of therapeutic ions and molecules. Whilst mesoporous silicate-based glasses (MSG) have been widely investigated, much less work has been done on mesoporous phosphate-based glasses (MPG). In the present study, MPG in the P2O5-CaO-Na2O system, undoped and doped with 1, 3, and 5 mol% of Cu ions were synthesized via a combination of the sol-gel method and supramolecular templating. The non-ionic triblock copolymer Pluronic P123 was used as a templating agent. The porous structure was studied via a combination of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), and N2 adsorption-desorption analysis at 77 K. The structure of the phosphate network was investigated via solid state 31P Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (31P MAS-NMR) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Degradation studies, performed in water via Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), showed that phosphates, Ca2+, Na+ and Cu ions are released in a controlled manner over a 7 days period. The controlled release of Cu, proportional to the copper loading, imbues antibacterial properties to MPG. A significant statistical reduction of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterial viability was observed over a 3 days period. E. coli appeared to be more resistant than S. aureus to the antibacterial effect of copper. This study shows that copper doped MPG have great potential as bioresorbable materials for controlled delivery of antibacterial ions.

Abstract
Implant surface modification can improve osseointegration and reduce peri-implant inflammation. Implant surfaces are modified with metals because of their excellent mechanical properties and significant functions. Metal surface modification is divided into metal ions and nanoparticle surface modification. These two methods function by adding a finishing metal to the surface of the implant, and both play a role in promoting osteogenic, angiogenic, and antibacterial properties. Based on this, the nanostructural surface changes confer stronger antibacterial and cellular affinity to the implant surface. The current paper reviews the forms, mechanisms, and applications of nanoparticles and metal ion modifications to provide a foundation for the surface modification of implants.

[PMID: 37158885 PMCID: PMC10169491 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-023-02898-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND One of the major clinical challenges of this age could be represented by the possibility to obtain a complete regeneration of infrabony defects. Over the past few years, numerous materials and different approaches have been developed to obtain bone and periodontal healing. Among all biomaterials, bioglasses (BG) are one of the most interesting due to their ability to form a highly reactive carbonate hydroxyapatite layer. Our aim was to systematically review the literature on the use and capability of BG for the treatment of periodontal defects and to perform a meta-analysis of their efficacy. METHODS A search of MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and DOSS was conducted in March 2021 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) using BG in the treatment of intrabony and furcation defects. Two reviewers selected the articles included in the study considering the inclusion criteria. The outcomes of interest were periodontal and bone regeneration in terms of decrease of probing depth (PD) and gain of clinical attachment level (CAL). A network meta-analysis (NMA) was fitted, according to the graph theory methodology, using a random effect model. RESULTS Through the digital search, 46 citations were identified. After duplicate removal and screening process, 20 articles were included. All RCTs were retrieved and rated following the Risk of bias 2 scale, revealing several potential sources of bias. The meta-analysis focused on the evaluation at 6 months, with 12 eligible articles for PD and 10 for CAL. As regards the PD at 6 months, AUTOGENOUS CORTICAL BONE, BIOGLASS and PLATELET RICH FIBRIN were more efficacious than open flap debridement alone, with a statistically significant standardized mean difference (SMD) equal to -1.57, -1.06 and - 2.89, respectively. As to CAL at 6 months, the effect of BIOGLASS is reduced and no longer significant (SMD = -0.19, p-value = 0.4) and curiously PLATELET RICH FIBRIN was more efficacious than OFD (SMD =-4.13, p-value < 0.001) in CAL gain, but in indirect evidence. CONCLUSIONS The present review partially supports the clinical efficacy of BG in periodontal regeneration treatments for periodontal purposes. Indeed, the SMD of 0.5 to 1 in PD and CAL obtained with BG compared to OFD alone seem clinically insignificant even if it is statistically significant. Heterogeneity sources related to periodontal surgery are multiple, difficult to assess and likely hamper a quantitative assessment of BG efficacy.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the maximum compressive strength, the modulus of elasticity, pH variation, ionic release, radiopacity and biological response of an experimental endodontic repair cement based on 45S5 Bioglass®. An in vitro and in vivo study with an experimental endodontic repair cement containing 45S5 bioactive glass was conducted. There were three endodontic repair cement groups: 45S5 bioactive glass-based (BioG), zinc oxide-based (ZnO), and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). In vitro tests were used to evaluate their physicochemical properties: compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, radiopacity, pH variation, and the ionic release of Ca+ and PO4. An animal model was used to evaluate the bone tissue response to endodontic repair cement. Statistical analysis included the unpaired t-test, one-way ANOVA and Tukey's test. BioG showed the lowest compressive strength and ZnO showed the highest radiopacity among the groups, respectively (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the modulus of elasticity among the groups. BioG and MTA maintained an alkaline pH during the 7 days of evaluation, both at pH 4 and in a pH 7 buffered solutions. PO4 was elevated in BioG, peaking at 7 days (p < 0.05). Histological analysis showed less intense inflammatory reactions and new bone formation in MTA. BioG showed inflammatory reactions that decreased over time. These findings suggest that the BioG experimental cement had good physicochemical characteristics and biocompatibility required for bioactive endodontic repair cement.

Abstract
The inorganic part of marine sponges, called Biosilica (BS), presents an osteogenic potential and the ability of consolidating fractures. Moreover, 3D printing technique is highly effective for manufacturing scaffolds for tissue engineering proposals. Thus, the aims of this study were to characterize the 3D rinted scaffolds, to evaluate the biological effects in vitro and to investigate the in vivo response using an experimental model of cranial defects in rats. The physicochemical characteristics of 3D printed BS scaffolds were analyzed by FTIR, EDS, calcium assay, evaluation of mass loss and pH measurement. For in vitro analysis, the MC3T3-E1 and L929 cells viability was evaluated. For the in vivo evaluation, histopathology, morphometrical and immunohistochemistry analyses were performed in a cranial defect in rats. After the incubation, the 3D printed BS scaffolds presented lower values in pH and mass loss over time. Furthermore, the calcium assay showed an increased Ca uptake. The FTIR analysis indicated the characteristic peaks for materials with silica and the EDS analysis demonstrated the main presence of silica. Moreover, 3D printed BS demonstrated an increase in MC3T3-E1 and L929 cell viability in all periods analyzed. In addition, the histological analysis demonstrated no inflammation in days 15 and 45 post-surgery, and regions of newly formed bone were also observed. The immunohistochemistry analysis demonstrated increased Runx-2 and OPG immunostaining. Those findings support that 3D printed BS scaffolds may improve the process of bone repair in a critical bone defect as a result of stimulation of the newly formed bone.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds are a new strategy to fabricate biomaterials for treating bone defects. Here, using a 3D-printing technique, we fabricated scaffolds consisting of gelatin (Gel), sodium alginate (SA), and 58S bioactive glass (58S BG). To evaluate mechanical properties and biocompatibility of Gel/SA/58S BG scaffolds, the degradation test, compressive strength test, and cytotoxicity test were performed. The effect of the scaffolds on cell proliferation in vitro was determined by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. To evaluate osteoinductive properties, rBMSCs were cultured on the scaffolds for 7, 14, and 21 days and the expression of osteogenesis-related genes was analyzed using qRT-PCR. To examine the bone healing properties of Gel/SA/58S BG scaffolds in vivo, we used a rat mandibular critical-size defect bone model. The scaffolds were implanted into the defect area of rat mandible and bone regeneration and new tissue formation were assessed using microcomputed tomography (microCT) and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The results showed that Gel/SA/58S BG scaffolds had appropriate mechanical strength as a filling material for bone defects. Furthermore, the scaffolds could be compressed within certain limits and then could recover their shape. The extract of the Gel/SA/58S BG scaffold showed no cytotoxicity. In vitro, the expression levels of Bmp2, Runx2, and OCN were increased in rBMSCs cultured on the scaffolds. In vivo, microCT and H&E staining demonstrated that scaffolds induced the formation of new bone at the mandibular defect area. These results indicated that Gel/SA/58S BG scaffolds have excellent mechanical characteristics, biocompatibility, and osteoinductive properties, suggesting that it could be a promising biomaterial for the repair of bone defects.

Abstract
Tumor recurrence is a major problem during the treatment of giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB). We recently identified tumor cell-specific cytotoxic effects of bioactive glasses (BGs) toward neoplastic stromal cells derived from GCTB tissue (GCTSCs) in vitro. Since these data indicated a promising role of BGs in the adjuvant treatment of GCTBs, we aimed to investigate the transferability of the in vitro data into the more complex in vivo situation in the current study. We first analyzed the cytotoxicity of three different BGs in vitro by WST-1 assay after co-cultivation with primary GCTSC cell lines. The effects of BGs on tumor engraftment and growth were analyzed by chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays and subsequent quantification of tumor take rates and tumor volumes. In vitro, all tested BGs displayed a cytotoxic effect on GCTSCs that was dependent on BG composition, concentration, and particle size. Comparable effects could be observed within the in vivo environment resulting in reduced tumor take rates and tumor volumes in BG-treated samples. These data indicate a possible clinical application of BGs in the context of GCTB therapy, mediating a reduction of recurrence rates with the simultaneous promotion of bone regeneration.

Abstract
Glass is ubiquitous in life and widely used in various fields. However, there is an urgent need to develop biodegradable and biorecyclable glasses that have a minimal environmental footprint toward a sustainable society and a circular materials economy. Here, we report a family of eco-friendly glasses of biological origin fabricated using biologically derived amino acids or peptides through the classic heating-quenching procedure. Amino acids and peptides with chemical modification at their ends are found able to form a supercooled liquid before decomposition and eventually glass upon quenching. These developed glasses exhibit excellent glass-forming ability and optical characteristics and are amenable to three-dimensional-printed additive manufacturing and mold casting. Crucially, the glasses show biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biorecyclability beyond the currently used commercial glasses and plastic materials.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) has been advocated as a precursor of bone apatite crystals. Recent studies have shown that synthetic OCP exhibits highly osteoconductive properties as a bone substitute material that stems from its ability to activate bone tissue-related cells, such as osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Accumulated experimental evidence supports the proposition that the OCP-apatite phase conversion under physiological conditions increases the stimulatory capacity of OCP. The conversion of OCP progresses by hydrolysis toward Ca-deficient hydroxyapatite with Ca2+ ion incorporation and inorganic phosphate ion release with concomitant increases in the solid Ca/P molar ratio, specific surface area, and serum protein adsorption affinity. The ionic dissolution rate during the hydrolysis reaction was controlled by introducing a high-density edge dislocation within the OCP lattice by preparing it through co-precipitation with gelatin. The enhanced dissolution intensifies the material biodegradation rate and degree of osteogenecity of OCP. Controlling the biodegradation rate relative to the dissolution acceleration may be vital for controlling the osteogenecity of OCP materials. This study investigates the effects of the ionic dissolution of OCP, focusing on the structural defects in OCP, as the enhanced metastability of the OCP phase modulates biodegradability followed by new bone formation. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is recognized as a highly osteoconductive material that is biodegradable by osteoclastic resorption, followed by new bone formation by osteoblasts. However, if the degradation rate of OCP is increased by maintaining the original osteoconductivity or acquiring a bioactivity better than its current properties, then early replacement with new bone can be expected. Although cell introduction or growth factor addition by scaffold materials is the standard method for tissue engineering, material activity can be augmented by introducing dislocations into the lattice of the OCP. This review article summarizes the effects of introducing structural defects on activating OCP, which was obtained by co-precipitation with gelatin, as a bone substitute material and the mechanism of improved bone replacement performance.

Abstract
Bone is capable of adjusting size, shape, and quality to maintain its strength, toughness, and stiffness and to meet different needs of the body through continuous remodeling. The balance of bone homeostasis is orchestrated by interactions among different types of cells (mainly osteoblasts and osteoclasts), extracellular matrix, the surrounding biological milieus, and waste products from cell metabolisms. Inorganic ions liberated into the localized microenvironment during bone matrix degradation not only form apatite crystals as components or enter blood circulation to meet other bodily needs but also alter cellular activities as molecular modulators. The osteoinductive potential of inorganic motifs of bone has been gradually understood since the last century. Still, few have considered the naturally generated ionic microenvironment's biological roles in bone remodeling. It is believed that a better understanding of the naturally balanced ionic microenvironment during bone remodeling can facilitate future biomaterial design for bone tissue engineering in terms of the modulatory roles of the ionic environment in the regenerative process.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cements (CPC) and mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBG) are two well studied biomaterial groups widely under investigation on their applicability to treat bone defects in orthopaedics and maxillofacial surgery. Recently the extrusion properties of CPC-MBG composites using a pasty CPC based on a hydrophobic carrier-liquid were studied in our group demonstrating that such composites are suitable for low temperature 3D plotting. Based on this work, we show in this study that by variation of the MBG content in the composite the degradation of the final scaffolds can be influenced. Furthermore, by modifying the cement phase and/or the MBG with therapeutically active ions like strontium, the released ion concentration can be varied over a wide range. In a second step the MBG was functionalized exploiting the high specific surface area of the glass as a carrier system for proteins like lysozyme or grow factors. We developed a protocol that allows the incorporation of protein-laden MBG in CPC pastes without impairing the extrudability of the CPC-MBG composites. Additionally, we found that released proteins from pure MBG or 3D plotted composite-scaffolds maintained their biological activity. Therefore, the combination of CPC and MBG allows the creation of a highly flexible composite system making it a promising candidate for bone tissue engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Calcium phosphate cements and mesoporous bioactive glasses are two promising degradable biomaterials for the regenerative treatment of bone defects. The combination of both materials to a 3D printable composite enables the creation of implants with patient specific geometry. By varying the composition of the composite, the degradation behaviour can be influenced and especially the release of therapeutically active ions is tailorable over a wide range. We demonstrated this for strontium, as it has been shown to stimulate bone formation. Moreover, the bioactive glass can be used as a carrier system for drugs or growth factors and we show the successful combination of such functionalised glass particles and a cement paste without affecting the printability.

Heat Shock Protein 27 Is Involved in the Bioactive Glass Induced Osteogenic Response of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Cells 2023; 12:cells12020224. [PMID: 36672159 PMCID: PMC9856363 DOI: 10.3390/cells12020224] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Bioactive glass (BaG) materials are increasingly used in clinics, but their regulatory mechanisms on osteogenic differentiation remain understudied. In this study, we elucidated the currently unknown role of the p38 MAPK downstream target heat shock protein 27 (HSP27), in the osteogenic commitment of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), derived from adipose tissue (hASCs) and bone marrow (hBMSCs). Osteogenesis was induced with ionic extract of an experimental BaG in osteogenic medium (OM). Our results showed that BaG OM induced fast osteogenesis of hASCs and hBMSCs, demonstrated by enhanced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, production of extracellular matrix protein collagen type I, and matrix mineralization. BaG OM stimulated early and transient activation of p38/HSP27 signaling by phosphorylation in hMSCs. Inhibition of HSP27 phosphorylation with SB202190 reduced the ALP activity, mineralization, and collagen type I production induced by BaG OM. Furthermore, the reduced pHSP27 protein by SB202190 corresponded to a reduced F-actin intensity of hMSCs. The phosphorylation of HSP27 allowed its co-localization with the cytoskeleton. In terminally differentiated cells, however, pHSP27 was found diffusely in the cytoplasm. This study provides the first evidence that HSP27 is involved in hMSC osteogenesis induced with the ionic dissolution products of BaG. Our results indicate that HSP27 phosphorylation plays a role in the osteogenic commitment of hMSCs, possibly through the interaction with the cytoskeleton.

Abstract
Silica biomaterials including Bioglass offer great biocompatibility and bioactivity but fail to provide pore and degradation features needed for tissue engineering. Herein we report on the synthesis and characterization of novel amorphous silica fiber matrices to overcome these limitations. Amorphous silica fibers were fused by sintering to produce porous matrices. The effects of sacrificial polymer additives such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose fibers (CF) on the sintering process were also studied. The resulting matrices formed between sintering temperatures of 1,350–1,550 °C retained their fiber structures. The matrices presented pores in the range of 50–200 μm while higher sintering temperatures resulted in increased pore diameter. PVA addition to silica significantly reduced the pore diameter and porosity compared with silica matrices with or without the addition of CF. The PVA additive morphologically appeared to fuse the silica fibers to a greater extent and resulted in significantly higher compressive modulus and strength than the rest of the matrices synthesized. These matrices lost roughly 30% of their original mass in an in vitro degradation study over 40 weeks. All matrices absorbed 500 wt% of water and did not change in their overall morphology, size, or shape with hydration. These fiber matrices supported human mesenchymal stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and mineralized matrix production. Amorphous silica fiber biomaterials/matrices reported here are biodegradable and porous and closely resemble the native extracellular matrix structure and water absorption capacity. Extending the methodology reported here to alter matrix properties may lead to a variety of tissue engineering, implant, and drug delivery applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate hydrogel-based scaffolds embedded with parathyroid hormone (PTH)-loaded mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) on the enhancement of bone tissue regeneration in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS MBG was produced via sol-gel technique followed by PTH solution imbibition. PTH-loaded MBG was blended into the hydrogels and submitted to a lyophilisation process associated with a chemical crosslinking reaction to the production of the scaffolds. Characterisation of the MBG and PTH-loaded MBG scaffolds, including the scanning electron microscope (SEM) connected with an X-ray detector (EDX), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), compression strength, rheological measurements, swelling and degradation rates, and PTH release analysis, were performed. Also, bioactivity using simulated-body fluid (SBF), biocompatibility (MTT), and osteogenic differentiation analyses (von Kossa and Alizarin Red stainings, and μ-computed tomography, μCT) of the scaffolds were carried out. RESULTS SEM images demonstrated MBG particles dispersed into the hydrogel-based scaffold structure, which was homogeneously porous and well interconnected. EDX and FTIR revealed large amounts of carbon, oxygen, sodium, and silica in the scaffold composition. Bioactivity experiments revealed changes on sample surfaces over the analysed period, indicating the formation of carbonated hydroxyapatite; however, the chemical composition remained stable. PTH-loaded hydrogel-based scaffolds were biocompatible for stem cells from human-exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED). A high quantity of calcium deposits on the extracellular matrix of SHED was found for PTH-loaded hydrogel-based scaffolds. μCT images showed MBG particles dispersed into the scaffolds' structure, and a porous, lamellar, and interconnected hydrogel architecture. CONCLUSIONS PTH-loaded hydrogel-based scaffolds demonstrated consistent morphology and physicochemical properties for bone tissue regeneration, as well as bioactivity, biocompatibility, and osteoinductivity in vitro. Thus, the scaffolds presented here are recommended for future studies on 3D printing. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Bone tissue regeneration is still a challenge for several approaches to oral and maxillofacial surgeries, though tissue engineering applying SHED, scaffolds, and osteoinductive mediators might help to overcome this clinical issue.

Abstract
The incorporation of gallium into bioactive materials has been reported to enhance osteogenesis, to influence blood clotting, and to induce anti-cancer and anti-bacterial activity. Gallium-doped biomaterials prepared by various techniques include melt-derived and sol-gel-derived bioactive glasses, calcium phosphate bioceramics, metals and coatings. In this review, we summarize the recently reported developments in antibacterial, anticancer, osteogenesis, and hemostasis properties of Ga-doped biomaterials and briefly outline the mechanisms leading to Ga biological effects. The key finding is that gallium addition to biomaterials has great potential for treating bone-related diseases since it can be efficiently transferred to the desired region at a controllable rate. Besides, it can be used as a potential substitute for antibiotics for the inhibition of infections during the initial and advanced phases of the wound healing process. Ga is also used as an anticancer agent due to the increased concentration of gallium around excessive cell proliferation (tumor) sites. Moreover, we highlight the possibility to design different therapeutic approaches aimed at increasing the efficiency of the use of gallium containing bioactive materials for multifunctional applications.

Abstract
Over time, much attention has been given to the use of bioceramics for biomedical applications; however, the recent trend has been gaining traction to apply these materials for dental restorations. The bioceramics (mainly bioactive) are exceptionally biocompatible and possess excellent bioactive and biological properties due to their similar chemical composition to human hard tissues. However, concern has been noticed related to their mechanical properties. All dental materials based on bioactive materials must be biocompatible, long-lasting, mechanically strong enough to bear the masticatory and functional load, wear-resistant, easily manipulated, and implanted. This review article presents the basic structure, properties, and dental applications of different bioactive materials i.e., amorphous calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, tri-calcium phosphate, mono-calcium phosphate, calcium silicate, and bioactive glass. The advantageous properties and limitations of these materials are also discussed. In the end, future directions and proposals are given to improve the physical and mechanical properties of bioactive materials-based dental materials.

Abstract
In the present day, the increment in life expectancy has led to the necessity of developing new biomaterials for the restoration or substitution of damaged organs that have lost their functionalities. Among all the research about biomaterials, this review paper aimed to expose the main possibilities that the sol-gel synthesis method can provide for the fabrication of materials with interest in the biomedical field, more specifically, when this synthesis method is used to improve the biological properties of different magnesium alloys used as biomaterials. The sol-gel method has been widely studied and used to generate ceramic materials for a wide range of purposes during the last fifty years. Focused on biomedical research, the sol-gel synthesis method allows the generation of different kinds of biomaterials with diverse morphologies and a high potential for the biocompatibility improvement of a wide range of materials commonly used in the biomedical field such as metallic implants, as well as for the generation of drug delivery systems or interesting biomaterials for new tissue engineering therapies.

Abstract
This study evaluates compositions of tantalum-containing mesoporous bioactive glass (Ta-MBG) powders using a porcine fatal liver injury model. The powders based on (80-x)SiO2-15CaO-5P2O5-xTa2O5 compositions with x = 0 (0Ta/Ta-free), 1 (1Ta), and 5 (5Ta) mol% were made using a sol-gel process. A class IV hemorrhage condition was simulated on the animals; hemodynamic data and biochemical analysis confirmed the life-threatening condition. Ta-MBGs were able to stop the bleeding within 10 min of their application while the bleeds in the absence of any intervention or in the presence of a commercial agent, AristaTM (Bard Davol Inc., Rhode Island, USA) continued for up to 45 min. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging of the blood clots showed that the presence of Ta-MBGs did not affect clot morphology. Rather, the connections seen between fibrin fibers of the blood clot and Ta-MBG powders point towards the powders' surfaces embracing fibrin. Histopathological analysis of the liver tissue showed 5Ta as the only composition reducing parenchymal hemorrhage and necrosis extent of the tissue after their application. Additionally, 5Ta was also able to form an adherent clot in worst-case scenario bleeding where no adherent clot was seen before the powder was applied. In vivo results from the present study agree with in vitro results of the previous study that 5Ta was the best Ta-MBG composition for hemostatic purposes. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
Due to the pivotal role of angiogenesis in bone regeneration, the angiogenic properties of biomaterials are of high importance since they directly correlate with the biomaterials’ osteogenic potential via ‘angiogenic-osteogenic coupling’ mechanisms. The impact of bioactive glasses (BGs) on vascularization can be tailored by incorporation of biologically active ions such as boron (B). Based on the ICIE16-BG composition (in mol%: 49.5 SiO2, 36.3 CaO, 6.6 Na2O, 1.1 P2O5, 6.6 K2O), three B-doped BGs have been developed (compositions in mol%: 46.5/45.5/41.5 SiO2, 36.3 CaO, 6.6 Na2O, 1.1 P2O5, 6.6 K2O, 3/4/8 B2O3). The influence of B-doping on the viability, cellular osteogenic differentiation and expression of osteogenic and angiogenic marker genes of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) was analyzed by cultivating BMSCs in presence of the BGs’ ionic dissolution products (IDPs). Furthermore, the influence of the IDPs on angiogenesis was evaluated in ovo using a chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay. The influence of B-doped BGs on BMSC viability was dose-dependent, with higher B concentrations showing limited negative effects. B-doping led to a slight stimulation of osteogenesis and angiogenesis in vitro. In contrast to that, B-doping significantly enhanced vascularization in ovo, especially in higher concentrations. Differences between the results of the in vitro and in ovo part of this study might be explained via the different importance of vascularization in both settings. The implementation of new experimental models that cover the ‘angiogenic-osteogenic coupling’ mechanisms is highly relevant, for instance via extending the application of the CAM assay from solely angiogenic to angiogenic and osteogenic purposes.

Abstract
This work aims to study the kinetics of apatite layer formation on the surface of strontium doped binary bioactive glasses (BG: 63S37C) prepared for the first time by a hydrothermal process and evaluate their potential for drug loading and release using ibuprofen (IBU) as an anti-inflammatory drug vector. First, the binary glass 63S37C was doped with various amounts of strontium, from 0.2 to 1 mol%. Subsequently, the amorphous state of the samples and the microstructure were assessed by TGA, XRD, FTIR, ICP-AES, and SEM-EDS. Next, the in vitro bioactivity was evaluated by following the surface morphology and composition changes of soaked samples for up to 14 days at 37 °C in simulated bodily fluid (SBF). Finally, SEM-EDS spectroscopy showed clearly the appearance of needle-shaped apatite on amorphous glass substrates at the earlier stages of immersion for bioglasses doped with strontium. These findings are also confirmed with XRD and FTIR analysis. Furthermore, 63S37C BG proved that the drug release increased with increasing strontium content. Altogether, this novel class of bioactive glasses may be considered to have a promising future for biomedical applications.

Abstract
In recent years, 3D printing techniques experienced a growing interest in several sectors, including the biomedical one. Their main advantage resides in the possibility to obtain complex and personalized structures in a cost-effective way impossible to achieve with traditional production methods. This is especially true for Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), one of the most diffused 3D printing methods. The easy customization of the final products' geometry, composition and physico-chemical properties is particularly interesting for the increasingly personalized approach adopted in modern medicine. Thermoplastic polymers are the preferred choice for FDM applications, and a wide selection of biocompatible and biodegradable materials is available to this aim. Moreover, these polymers can also be easily modified before and after printing to better suit the body environment and the mechanical properties of biological tissues. This review focuses on the use of thermoplastic aliphatic polyesters for FDM applications in the biomedical field. In detail, the use of poly(ε-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s, thermo-plastic poly(ester urethane)s and their blends has been thoroughly surveyed, with particular attention to their main features, applicability and workability. The state-of-the-art is presented and current challenges in integrating the additive manufacturing technology in the medical practice are discussed. This article is protected by copyright.

Can 3D-Printed Bioactive Glasses Be the Future of Bone Tissue Engineering? Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14081627. [PMID: 35458377 PMCID: PMC9027654 DOI: 10.3390/polym14081627] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
According to the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, cases of bone fracture or injury have increased to 33.4% in the past two decades. Bone-related injuries affect both physical and mental health and increase the morbidity rate. Biopolymers, metals, ceramics, and various biomaterials have been used to synthesize bone implants. Among these, bioactive glasses are one of the most biomimetic materials for human bones. They provide good mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and osteointegrative properties. Owing to these properties, various composites of bioactive glasses have been FDA-approved for diverse bone-related and other applications. However, bone defects and bone injuries require customized designs and replacements. Thus, the three-dimensional (3D) printing of bioactive glass composites has the potential to provide customized bone implants. This review highlights the bottlenecks in 3D printing bioactive glass and provides an overview of different types of 3D printing methods for bioactive glass. Furthermore, this review discusses synthetic and natural bioactive glass composites. This review aims to provide information on bioactive glass biomaterials and their potential in bone tissue engineering.
