Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has been widely used in the periodontal treatment of intrabony and furcation defects for nearly four decades. The treatment outcomes have shown effectiveness in reducing pocket depth, improving attachment gain and bone filling in periodontal tissue. Although applying GTR could reconstruct the periodontal tissue, the surgical indications are relatively narrow, and some complications and race ethic problems bring new challenges. Therefore, it is challenging to achieve a consensus concerning the clinical benefits of GTR. With the appearance of stem cell-based regenerative medicine, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been considered a promising cell resource for periodontal regeneration. In this review, we highlight preclinical and clinical periodontal regeneration using MSCs derived from distinct origins, including non-odontogenic and odontogenic tissues and induced pluripotent stem cells, and discuss the transplantation procedures, therapeutic mechanisms, and concerns to evaluate the effectiveness of MSCs.

Abstract
The essential functions of cartilage, such as shock absorption and resilience, are hindered by its limited regenerative capacity. Although current therapies alleviate symptoms, novel strategies for cartilage regeneration are desperately needed. Recent developments in three-dimensional (3D) constructs aim to address this challenge by mimicking the intrinsic characteristics of native cartilage using biocompatible materials, with a significant emphasis on both functionality and stability. Through fabrication methods such as 3D printing and electrospinning, researchers are making progress in cartilage regeneration; nevertheless, it is still very difficult to translate these advances into clinical practice. The review emphasizes the importance of integrating various fabrication techniques to create stable 3D constructs. Meticulous design and material selection are required to achieve seamless cartilage integration and durability. The review outlines the need to address these challenges and focuses on the latest developments in the production of hybrid 3D constructs based on biodegradable and biocompatible polymers. Furthermore, the review acknowledges the limitations of current research and provides perspectives on potential avenues for effectively regenerating cartilage defects in the future.

Abstract
Reconstruction of the human auricle remains a formidable challenge for plastic surgeons. Autologous costal cartilage grafts and alloplastic implants are technically challenging, and aesthetic and/or tactile outcomes are frequently suboptimal. Using a small animal "bioreactor", we have bioengineered full-scale ears utilizing decellularized cartilage xenograft placed within a 3D-printed external auricular scaffold that mimics the size, shape, and biomechanical properties of the native human auricle. The full-scale polylactic acid ear scaffolds were 3D-printed based upon data acquired from 3D photogrammetry of an adult ear. Ovine costal cartilage was processed either through mincing (1 mm3) or zesting (< 0.5 mm3), and then fully decellularized and sterilized. At explantation, both the minced and zested neoears maintained the size and contour complexities of the scaffold topography with steady tissue ingrowth through 6 months in vivo. A mild inflammatory infiltrate at 3 months was replaced by homogenous fibrovascular tissue ingrowth enveloping individual cartilage pieces at 6 months. All ear constructs were pliable, and the elasticity was confirmed by biomechanical analysis. Longer-term studies of the neoears with faster degrading biomaterials will be warranted for future clinical application. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Accurate reconstruction of the human auricle has always been a formidable challenge to plastic surgeons. In this article, we have bioengineered full-scale ears utilizing decellularized cartilage xenograft placed within a 3D-printed external auricular scaffold that mimic the size, shape, and biomechanical properties of the native human auricle. Longer-term studies of the neoears with faster degrading biomaterials will be warranted for future clinical application.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by progressive cartilage degeneration and absence of curative therapies. Therefore, more efficient therapies are compellingly needed. Both mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) and Icariin (ICA) are promising for repair of cartilage defect. This study proposes that ICA may be combined to potentiate the cartilage repair capacity of MSC-EVs. MATERIALS AND METHODS MSC-EVs were isolated from sodium alginate (SA) and hyaluronic acid (HA) composite hydrogel (SA-HA) cell spheroid culture. EVs and ICA were combined in SA-HA hydrogel to test therapeutic efficacy on cartilage defect in vivo. RESULTS EVs and ICA were synergistic for promoting both proliferation and migration of MSCs and inflammatory chondrocytes. The combination therapy led to strikingly enhanced repair on cartilage defect in rats, with mechanisms involved in the concomitant modulation of both cartilage degradation and synthesis makers. CONCLUSION The MSC-EVs-ICA/SA-HA hydrogel potentially constitutes a novel therapy for cartilage defect in OA.

Abstract
The osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation ability of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) and their potential therapeutic applications in bone and cartilage defects are reported in this review. This becomes particularly important when these disorders can only be poorly treated by conventional therapeutic approaches, and tissue engineering may represent a valuable alternative. Being of mesodermal origin, ASCs can be easily induced to differentiate into chondrocyte-like and osteocyte-like elements and used to repair damaged tissues. Moreover, they can be easily harvested and used for autologous implantation. A plethora of ASC-based strategies are being developed worldwide: they include the transplantation of freshly harvested cells, in vitro expanded cells or predifferentiated cells. Moreover, improving their positive effects, ASCs can be implanted in combination with several types of scaffolds that ensure the correct cell positioning; support cell viability, proliferation and migration; and may contribute to their osteogenic or chondrogenic differentiation. Examples of these strategies are described here, showing the enormous therapeutic potential of ASCs in this field. For safety and regulatory issues, most investigations are still at the experimental stage and carried out in vitro and in animal models. Clinical applications have, however, been reported with promising results and no serious adverse effects.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) are a viable clinical alternative to autografts and allografts and have been widely used to treat peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs). Although these NGCs are successful to some extent, they cannot aid in native regeneration by improving native-equivalent neural innervation or regrowth. Further, NGCs exhibit longer recovery period and high cost limiting their clinical applications. Additive manufacturing (AM) could be an alternative to the existing drawbacks of the conventional NGCs fabrication methods. The emergence of the AM technique has offered ease for developing personalized three-dimensional (3D) neural constructs with intricate features and higher accuracy on a larger scale, replicating the native feature of nerve tissue. This review introduces the structural organization of peripheral nerves, the classification of PNI, and limitations in clinical and conventional nerve scaffold fabrication strategies. The principles and advantages of AM-based techniques, including the combinatorial approaches utilized for manufacturing 3D nerve conduits, are briefly summarized. This review also outlines the crucial parameters, such as the choice of printable biomaterials, 3D microstructural design/model, conductivity, permeability, degradation, mechanical property, and sterilization required to fabricate large-scale additive-manufactured NGCs successfully. Finally, the challenges and future directions toward fabricating the 3D-printed/bioprinted NGCs for clinical translation are also discussed.

Abstract
Cartilage is an avascular tissue and sensitive to mechanical trauma and/or age-related degenerative processes leading to the development of osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore, it is important to investigate the mesenchymal cell-based chondrogenic regenerating mechanisms and possible their regulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of intracellular calcium (iCa2+) and its regulation through voltage-operated calcium channels (VOCC) on chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells derived from human bone marrow (BMMSCs) and menstrual blood (MenSCs) in comparison to OA chondrocytes. The level of iCa2+ was highest in chondrocytes, whereas iCa2+ store capacity was biggest in MenSCs and they proliferated better as compared to other cells. The level of CaV1.2 channels was also highest in OA chondrocytes than in other cells. CaV1.2 antagonist nifedipine slightly suppressed iCa2+, Cav1.2 and the proliferation of all cells and affected iCa2+ stores, particularly in BMMSCs. The expression of the CaV1.2 gene during 21 days of chondrogenic differentiation was highest in MenSCs, showing the weakest chondrogenic differentiation, which was stimulated by the nifedipine. The best chondrogenic differentiation potential showed BMMSCs (SOX9 and COL2A1 expression); however, purposeful iCa2+ and VOCC regulation by blockers can stimulate a chondrogenic response at least in MenSCs.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease. Previous studies were focused on general functions of chondrocyte population in OA without elucidating the existence of chondrocyte subpopulations. To investigate the heterogeneity of chondrocyte, here we conducted detailed analysis on the single-cell sequencing data of cartilage cells from OA patients. After quality control, unsupervised K-mean clustering identified seven different subpopulations of chondrocytes in OA. Those subpopulations of chondrocytes were nominated based on Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis: stress-metabolizing chondrocytes (cluster 1), rhythmic chondrocytes (cluster 2), apoptotic chondrocytes (cluster 3), matrix-synthesis-related chondrocytes (cluster 4), developmental chondrocytes (cluster 5), protein-synthesis-related chondrocytes (cluster 6 and 8), and osteogenesis chondrocytes (cluster 7). We further noticed that the stress-metabolizing chondrocytes (cluster 1) were dominant in early stages of cartilage damage with increased metabolic levels inhibiting cartilage tissue degeneration, while the matrix-synthesis-related chondrocytes (cluster 4) were mainly existed in the late stages of cartilage damage which reorganized collagen fibers with type III collagen disrupting the extracellular matrix and further cartilage damages. Besides, we identified genes NFKBIA and TUBB2B as potential markers for the stress-metabolizing chondrocytes and the matrix synthesis related chondrocytes, respectively. Our study identifies different chondrocyte subpopulations in OA, and highlights the potential different functions of chondrocyte subpopulations in the early versus late stages of cartilage damage.

Abstract
Complex three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models are emerging as a key technology to support research areas in personalised medicine, such as drug development and regenerative medicine. Tools for manipulation and positioning of microtissues play a crucial role in the microtissue life cycle from production to end-point analysis. The ability to precisely locate microtissues can improve the efficiency and reliability of processes and investigations by reducing experimental time and by providing more controlled parameters. To achieve this goal, standardisation of the techniques is of primary importance. Compared to microtissue production, the field of microtissue manipulation and positioning is still in its infancy but is gaining increasing attention in the last few years. Techniques to position microtissues have been classified into four main categories: hydrodynamic techniques, bioprinting, substrate modification, and non-contact active forces. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive review of the different tools for the manipulation and positioning of microtissues that have been reported to date. The working mechanism of each technique is described, and its merits and limitations are discussed. We conclude by evaluating the potential of the different approaches to support progress in personalised medicine.

Abstract
Over centuries, several advances have been made in osteochondral (OC) tissue engineering to regenerate more biomimetic tissue. As an essential component of tissue engineering, scaffolds provide structural and functional support for cell growth and differentiation. Numerous scaffold types, such as porous, hydrogel, fibrous, microsphere, metal, composite and decellularized matrix, have been reported and evaluated for OC tissue regeneration in vitro and in vivo, with respective advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, due to the inherent complexity of organizational structure and the objective limitations of manufacturing technologies and biomaterials, we have not yet achieved stable and satisfactory effects of OC defects repair. In this review, we summarize the complicated gradients of natural OC tissue and then discuss various osteochondral tissue engineering strategies, focusing on scaffold design with abundant cell resources, material types, fabrication techniques and functional properties.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration is an auto-healing mechanism, initiating immediately following tissue damage to restore normal tissue structure and function. This falls in line with survival instinct being the most dominant instinct for any living organism. Nevertheless, the process is slow and not feasible in all tissues, which led to the emergence of tissue engineering (TE). TE aims at replacing damaged tissues with new ones. To do so, either new tissue is being cultured in vitro and then implanted, or stimulants are implanted into the target site to enhance endogenous tissue formation. Whichever approach is used, a matrix is used to support tissue growth, known as ‘scaffold’. In this review, an overall look at scaffolds fabrication is discussed, starting with design considerations and different biomaterials used. Following, highlights of conventional and advanced fabrication techniques are attentively presented. The future of scaffolds in TE is ever promising, with the likes of nanotechnology being investigated for scaffold integration. The constant evolvement of organoids and biofluidics with the eventual inclusion of organ-on-a-chip in TE has shown a promising prospect of what the technology might lead to. Perhaps the closest technology to market is 4D scaffolds following the successful implementation of 4D printing in other fields.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Medical interventions for subchondral bone cysts in horses have been extensively studied. This study investigated the regeneration of articular cartilage and subchondral bone with scaffold-free three-dimensional (3D) constructs of equine synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SM-MSCs) isolated from three ponies and expanded until over 1.0 × 107 cells at passage 2 (P2).
Results
SM-MSCs were strongly positive for CD11a/CD18, CD44, and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I; moderately positive for CD90, CD105, and MHC class II; and negative for CD34 and CD45 on flow cytometry and differentiated into osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic lineages in the tri-lineage differentiation assay. After culturing SM-MSCs until P3, we prepared a construct (diameter, 6.3 mm; height, 5.0 mm) comprising approximately 1920 spheroids containing 3.0 × 104 cells each. This construct was confirmed to be positive for type I collagen and negative for type II collagen, Alcian blue, and Safranin-O upon histological analysis and was subsequently implanted into an osteochondral defect (diameter, 6.8 mm; depth, 5.0 mm) at the right femoral medial condyle. The contralateral (left femoral) defect served as the control. At 3 and 6 months after surgery, the radiolucent volume (RV, mm3) of the defects was calculated based on multiplanar reconstruction of computed tomography (CT) images. Magnetic resonance (MR) images were evaluated using a modified two-dimensional MR observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) grading system, while macroscopic (gross) and microscopic histological characteristics were scored according to the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) scale. Compared to the control sites, the implanted defects showed lower RV percentages, better total MOCART scores, higher average gross scores, and higher average histological scores.
Conclusions
Implantation of a scaffold-free 3D-construct of SM-MSCs into an osteochondral defect could regenerate the original structure of the cartilage and subchondral bone over 6 months post-surgery in horses, indicating the potential of this technique in treating equine subchondral bone cysts.

Abstract
To increase the potential and effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for clinical applications, this study explored the effects of short cryo-temperature pretreatment on MSC function. Adipose-derived MSCs (A-MSCs) were cultured via the ordinary monolayer method and 3D hanging drop spheroid method. When the cells adhered to the wall or formed a spheroid, they were subjected to hypothermic stress at 4°C for 1 h and then divided into three recovery periods at 37°C, specifically 0, 12, and 24 h. The control group was not subjected to any treatment throughout the study. Monolayer and 3D spheroid A-MSCs were analyzed via RNA sequencing after hypothermic stress at 4°C for 1 h. Subsequently, each group of cells was collected and subjected to phenotype identification via flow cytometry, and mRNA expression was detected via reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Western blot analysis was performed to analyze the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in A-MSCs. The effects of A-MSCs on angiogenesis in vivo were examined using a chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. Transwell assays were performed to determine whether the culture supernatant from each group could induce the chemotaxis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Three-dimensional spheroid culture did not change the phenotype of A-MSCs. The expression of fibroblast growth factors, hepatocyte growth factors, and other angiogenesis-related factors in A-MSCs was upregulated. A-MSCs subjected to hypothermic stress promoted angiogenesis under both monolayer and 3D spheroid cultures. Moreover, the chemotaxis of HUVECs to the 3D spheroid culture supernatant increased substantially. Short cryo-temperature pretreatment could stimulate 3D spheroid A-MSCs and activate the PI3K-AKT pathway. This approach has the advantages of promoting angiogenesis and maintaining cell viability.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering approaches have evolved towards addressing the challenges of tissue mimetic requirements over the years. Different strategies have been combining scaffolds, cells, and biologically active cues using a wide range of fabrication techniques, envisioning the mimicry of bone tissue. On the one hand, biomimetic scaffold-based strategies have been pursuing different biomaterials to produce scaffolds, combining with diverse and innovative fabrication strategies to mimic bone tissue better, surpassing bone grafts. On the other hand, biomimetic scaffold-free approaches mainly foresee replicating endochondral ossification, replacing hyaline cartilage with new bone. Finally, since bone tissue is highly vascularized, new strategies focused on developing pre-vascularized scaffolds or pre-vascularized cellular aggregates have been a motif of study. The recent biomimetic scaffold-based and scaffold-free approaches in bone tissue engineering, focusing on materials and fabrication methods used, are overviewed herein. The biomimetic vascularized approaches are also discussed, namely the development of pre-vascularized scaffolds and pre-vascularized cellular aggregates.

Abstract
Cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism disorder caused by mechanical instability is a leading cause of osteoarthritis (OA), but the exact mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Recent studies have suggested an important role of circular RNAs (circRNAs/circs) in OA. The present study aimed to investigate whether circRNAs might have a role in mechanical instability‑regulated chondrocyte matrix metabolism in OA. The expression levels of circPhc3 in human and mouse OA cartilage samples were measured using reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and fluorescence in situ hybridization. The effects of circPhc3 on chondrocyte ECM metabolism were further investigated by overexpressing and knocking down circPhc3 in OA chondrocytes. The downstream target of circPhc3 was examined by performing a luciferase reporter assay. The results showed that the expression of circPhc3 was reduced in human and mouse OA cartilage. Moreover, circPhc3 was involved in mechanical loading‑regulated production of ECM and cartilage‑degrading enzymes. Further studies showed that circPhc3 regulated chondrocyte matrix metabolism primarily by binding to microRNA (miR)‑93‑3p, and mechanistic studies found that miR‑93‑3p targeting of FoxO1 was involved in chondrocyte matrix metabolism. Taken together, these results indicated that circPhc3 may serve an important role in the progression of OA and may be a good target for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Three-dimensional clumps of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)/extracellular matrix (ECM) complexes (C-MSCs) can be transplanted into tissue defect site with no artificial scaffold. Importantly, most bone formation in the developing process or fracture healing proceeds via endochondral ossification. Accordingly, this present study investigated whether C-MSCs generated with chondro-inductive medium (CIM) can induce successful bone regeneration and assessed its healing process. Human bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured with xeno-free/serum-free (XF) growth medium. To obtain C-MSCs, confluent cells that had formed on the cellular sheet were scratched using a micropipette tip and then torn off. The sheet was rolled to make a round clump of cells. The cell clumps, i.e., C-MSCs, were maintained in XF-CIM. C-MSCs generated with XF-CIM showed enlarged round cells, cartilage matrix, and hypertrophic chondrocytes genes elevation in vitro. Transplantation of C-MSCs generated with XF-CIM induced successful bone regeneration in the SCID mouse calvaria defect model. Immunofluorescence staining for human-specific vimentin demonstrated that donor human and host mouse cells cooperatively contributed the bone formation. Besides, the replacement of the cartilage matrix into bone was observed in the early period. These findings suggested that cartilaginous C-MSCs generated with XF-CIM can induce bone regeneration via endochondral ossification.

Abstract
The management of oral and maxillofacial tissue defects caused by tumors, trauma, and congenital or acquired deformities has been a major challenge for surgeons over the last few decades. Autologous tissue transplantation, the gold standard of tissue reconstruction, is a valid method for repairing the oral and maxillofacial functions and aesthetics. However, several limitations hinder its clinical applications including complications of donor sites, limited tissue volume, and uncertain long-term outcomes. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) widely exist in adipose tissue and can be easily obtained through liposuction. Like the bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), ADMSCs also have the multi-pluripotent potencies to differentiate into osteoblasts, chondrocytes, neurons, and myocytes. Therefore, the multilineage capacity of ADMSCs makes them valuable for cell-based medical therapies. In recent years, researchers have developed many candidates of ADMSCs-based biomaterial scaffolds to cater for the needs of oral and maxillofacial tissue engineering due to their superior performance. This review presents the advances and applications of ADMSCs-based biomaterial scaffolds, and explores their tissue engineering prospects in oral and maxillofacial reconstructions.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is recognized as a fundamental endocrine organ. Nowadays, we are also aware that it contains the highest number of stromal cells (ASCs) per unit of volume. These cells can differentiate between different phenotypes among which the adipocytes. The aim of this work was to verify whether orexin B, crucial mediator of the energy balance, modifies the differentiation of cultured ASCs. We used the pig as a model. Our data demonstrate that swine ASCs express prepro-orexin. Orexin B treatment inhibits ASCs proliferation (P < 0.05) and adipogenic differentiation (P < 0.05). Data collected could be interesting both in animal production field because consumers require lean meat, and in human medicine study about obesity because pig can be considered a valuable animal model for translational studies.

Abstract
Osteochondral defects in joints require surgical intervention to relieve pain and restore function. However, no current treatment enables a complete reconstitution of the articular surface. It is known that both mechanical and biological factors play a key role on osteochondral defect healing, however the underlying principles and how they can be used in the design of treatment strategies remain largely unknown. To unravel the underlying principles of mechanobiology in osteochondral defect healing, i.e., how mechanical stimuli can guide biological tissue formation, we employed a computational approach investigating the scaffold-associated mechanical and architectural properties that would enable a guided defect healing. A previous computer model of the knee joint was further developed to simulate healing of an empty osteochondral defect. Then, scaffolds were implanted in the defect and their architectures and material properties were systematically varied to identify their relevance in osteochondral defect healing. Scaffold mechanical and architectural properties were capable of influencing osteochondral defect healing. Specifically, scaffold material elastic modulus values in the range of cancellous bone (low GPa range) and a scaffold architecture that provided stability, i.e., resistance against displacement, in both the main loading direction and perpendicular to it supported the repair process. The here presented model, despite its simplifications, is regarded as a powerful tool to screen for promising properties of novel scaffold candidates fostering osteochondral defect regeneration prior to their implementation in vivo.
