Abstract
The repair of critical-sized bone defects continues to pose a challenge in clinics. Strontium (Sr), recognized for its function in bone metabolism regulation, has shown potential in bone repair. However, the underlying mechanism through which Sr2+ guided favorable osteogenesis by modulating macrophages remains unclear, limiting their application in the design of bone biomaterials. Herein, Sr-incorporated bioactive glass (SrBG) was synthesized for further investigation. The release of Sr ions enhanced the immunomodulatory properties and osteogenic potential by modulating the polarization of macrophages toward the M2 phenotype. In vivo, a 3D-printed SrBG scaffold was fabricated and showed consistently improved bone regeneration by creating a prohealing immunological microenvironment. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the underlying mechanisms. It was found that Sr ions might enhance the mitochondrial function of macrophage by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, thereby favoring osteogenesis. Our findings demonstrate the relationship between the immunomodulatory role of Sr ions and the mitochondrial function of macrophages. By focusing on the mitochondrial function of macrophages, Sr2+-mediated immunomodulation sheds light on the future design of biomaterials for tissue regenerative engineering.

Abstract
Implant-associated osteomyelitis (IAOM) is characterized by bone infection and destruction; current therapy of antibiotic treatment and surgical debridement often results in drug resistance and bone defect. It is challenging to develop an antibiotic-free bactericidal and osteogenic-enhanced strategy for IAOM. Herein, an IAOM-tailored antibacterial and osteoinductive composite of copper (Cu)-strontium (Sr) peroxide nanoparticles (CSp NPs), encapsulated in polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) (CSp@PEGDA), is designed. The dual functional CSp NPs display hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) self-supplying and Fenton catalytic Cu2+ ions' release, generating plenty of hydroxyl radical (•OH) in a pH-responsive manner for bacterial killing, while the released Sr2+ promotes the in vitro osteogenicity regarding cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, extracellular matrix calcification, and osteo-associated genes expression. The integration of Cu2+ and Sr2+ in CSp NPs together with the coated PEGDA hydrogel ensures the stable and sustainable ion release during short- and long-term periods. Benefitted from the injectablity and photo-crosslink ability, CSp@PEGDA is able to thoroughly fill the infectious site and gelate in situ for bacterial elimination and bone regeneration, which is verified through in vivo evaluation using a clinical-simulating IAOM mouse model. These favorable abilities of CSp@PEGDA precisely meet the multiple therapeutic needs and pave a promising way for implant-associated osteomyelitis treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, the demand for clinical bone grafting has increased. As a new solution for orthopedic implants, polyether ether ketone (PEEK, crystalline PAEK) has excellent comprehensive performance and is practically applied in the clinic. In this research, a noteworthy elevated scheme to enhance the performance of PEEK scaffolds is presented. The amorphous aggregated poly (aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) resin is prepared as the matrix material, which maintains high mechanical strength and can be processed through the solution. So, the tissue engineering scaffolds with multilevel pores can be printed by low-temperature deposited manufacturing (LDM) to improve biologically inert scaffolds with smooth surfaces. Also, the feature of PAEK's solution processing is profitable to uniformly add the functional components for bone repair. Ultimately, A system of orthopedic implantable PAEK material based on intermolecular interactions, surface topology, and surface modification is established. The specific steps include synthesizing PAEK that contain polar carboxyl structures, preparing bioinks and fabricating scaffolds by LDM, preparation of scaffolds with strontium-doped mineralized coatings, evaluation of their osteogenic properties in vitro and in vivo, and investigation on the effect and mechanism of scaffolds in promoting osteogenic differentiation. This work provides an upgraded system of PAEK implantable materials for clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental materials with dentine regenerative properties are preferred over conventional materials. Calcium silicate cements, such as Biodentine, are bioactive and offer excellent sealing ability, making them ideal for various dental treatments. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to fabricate bioactive calcium silicates infused with titanium (Ti) and strontium (Sr) to optimize their neo-angiogenic, antimicrobial, and regenerative properties while maintaining mechanical stability. METHODOLOGY Ti- and Sr-infused calcium silicate cements were synthesized, and their mineral phases were characterized using X-ray diffraction. Morphological and elemental analyses were performed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Raman spectroscopy was used to confirm the formation of bioactive material. A hemocompatibility assessment was conducted to evaluate blood compatibility. RESULTS The presence of Ca2, SiO4, and SrTiO3 mineral phases indicated the successful infusion of Ti and Sr into the calcium silicate cement. FESEM and EDS revealed interconnected small spheres and rods in the silicate network with the relevant elemental compositions. Raman spectra verified that Si-O-Si and Ti-O-Ti vibrations exist, validating the formation of a bioactive material. The hemocompatibility assessment demonstrated optimal blood compatibility. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully fabricated an improved calcium silicate-based material with enhanced regenerative properties and excellent biocompatibility. This newly formed substrate holds promise for providing superior restorative solutions and aiding in conservative treatment modalities during dental procedures.

Abstract
As implantable materials, titanium, and its alloys have garnered enormous interest from researchers for dental and orthopedic procedures. Despite their success in wide clinical applications, titanium, and its alloys fail to stimulate osteogenesis, resulting in poor bonding strength with surrounding bone tissue. Optimizing the surface topology and altered compositions of titanium and titanium-based alloys substantially promotes peri-implant bone regeneration. This review summarizes the utilization and importance of various osteogenesis components loaded onto titanium and its alloys. Further, different surface-modification methods and the release efficacy of loaded substances are emphasized. Finally, we summarize the article with prospects. We believe that further investigation studies must focus on identifying novel loading components, exploring various innovative, optimized surface-modification methods, and developing a sustained-release system on implant surfaces to improve peri-implant bone formation.

Abstract
PURPOSE When applied alone, titanium (Ti) mesh may not effectively block the penetration of soft tissues, resulting in insufficient new bone formation. This study aimed to confer bioactivity and improve bone regeneration by doping calcium phosphate (CaP) precipitation and strontium (Sr) ranelate onto a TiO2 nanotube (TNT) layer on the surface of a Ti mesh. METHODS The TNT layer was obtained by anodizing on the Ti mesh, and CaP was formed by cyclic pre-calcification. The final specimens were produced by doping with Sr ranelate. The surface properties of the modified Ti mesh were investigated using high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. To evaluate the effects of surface treatment on cell viability, osteoblasts were cultured for 1-3 days, and their absorbance was subsequently measured. In an in vivo experiment, critical-size defects were created in rat calvaria (Ф=8 mm). After 5 weeks, the rats were sacrificed (n=4 per group) and bone blocks were taken for micro-computed tomography and histological analysis. RESULTS After immersing the Sr ranelate-doped Ti mesh in simulated body fluid, the protrusions observed in the initial stage of hydroxyapatite were precipitated as a dense structure. On day 3 of osteoblast culture, cell viability was significantly higher on the pre-calcified Sr ranelate-doped Ti mesh surface than on the untreated Ti mesh surface (P<0.05). In the in vivo experiment, a bony bridge formed between the surrounding basal bone and the new bone under the Sr ranelate-doped Ti mesh implanted in a rat calvarial defect, closing the defect. New bone mineral density (0.91±0.003 g/mm3) and bone volume (29.35±2.082 mm3) significantly increased compared to the other groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Cyclic pre-calcification of a Ti mesh with a uniform TNT layer increased bioactivity, and subsequent doping with Sr ranelate effectively improved bone regeneration in bone defects.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) can potentially be applied in biomedicine, mainly for bone repair and replacement, given their unique ability to connect to natural bone tissue and stimulate bone regeneration. Since their discovery, several glass compositions have been developed to improve the properties and clinical abilities of traditional bioactive glass. Different inorganic ions, such as strontium (Sr2+), have been incorporated in BG due to their ability to perform therapeutic functions. Sr2+ has been gaining prominence due to its ability to stimulate osteogenesis, providing an appropriate environment to improve bone regeneration, in addition to its antibacterial potential. However, as there are still points in the literature that are not well consolidated, such as the influence of ionic concentrations and the BG production technique, this review aims to collect information on the state of the art of the biological behavior of BGs containing Sr2+. It also aims to gather data on different types of BGs doped with different concentrations of Sr2+, and to highlight the manufacturing techniques used in order to analyze the influence of the incorporation of this ion for bone regeneration purposes.
