Abstract
Whiskers are nanoscale, high-strength fibrous crystals with a wide range of potential applications in dentistry owing to their unique mechanical, thermal, electrical, and biological properties. They possess high strength, a high modulus of elasticity and good biocompatibility. Hence, adding these crystals to dental composites as reinforcement can considerably improve the mechanical properties and durability of restorations. Additionally, whiskers are involved in inducing the value-added differentiation of osteoblasts, odontogenic osteocytes, and pulp stem cells, and promoting the regeneration of alveolar bone, periodontal tissue, and pulp tissue. They can also enhance the mucosal barrier function, inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells, control inflammation, and aid in cancer prevention. This review comprehensively summarizes the classification, properties, growth mechanisms and preparation methods of whiskers and focuses on their application in dentistry. Due to their unique physicochemical properties, excellent biological properties, and nanoscale characteristics, whiskers show great potential for application in bone, periodontal, and pulp tissue regeneration. Additionally, they can be used to prevent and treat oral cancer and improve medical devices, thus making them a promising new material in dentistry.

Wang X, Fu X, Luo D, Hou R, Li P, Chen Y, Zhang X, Meng X, Yue Y, Liu J. 3D printed high-precision porous scaffolds prepared by fused deposition modeling induce macrophage polarization to promote bone regeneration. Biomed Mater 2024; 19:035006. [PMID: 38422525 DOI: 10.1088/1748-605x/ad2ed0] [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: 10/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
Macrophage-mediated bone immune responses significantly influence the repair of bone defects when utilizing tissue-engineered scaffolds. Notably, the scaffolds' physical structure critically impacts macrophage polarization. The optimal pore size for facilitating bone repair remains a topic of debate due to the imprecision of traditional methods in controlling scaffold pore dimensions and spatial architecture. In this investigation, we utilized fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology to fabricate high-precision porous polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds, aiming to elucidate the impact of pore size on macrophage polarization. We assessed the scaffolds' mechanical attributes and biocompatibility. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of macrophage-related genes, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for cytokine secretion levels.In vitroosteogenic capacity was determined through alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining. Our findings indicated that macroporous scaffolds enhanced macrophage adhesion and drove their differentiation towards the M2 phenotype. This led to the increased production of anti-inflammatory factors and a reduction in pro-inflammatory agents, highlighting the scaffolds' immunomodulatory capabilities. Moreover, conditioned media from macrophages cultured on these macroporous scaffolds bolstered the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, exhibiting superior osteogenic differentiation potential. Consequently, FDM-fabricated PCL scaffolds, with precision-controlled pore sizes, present promising prospects as superior materials for bone tissue engineering, leveraging the regulation of macrophage polarization.

Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:331.

Abstract
Bilayer scaffolds could provide a suitable topology for osteochondral defect repair mimicking cartilage and subchondral bone architecture. Hence, they could facilitate the chondro- and osteogenic lineage commitment of multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) with hydroxyapatite, the major inorganic component of bone, stimulating osteogenesis. Highly porous poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffolds with two layers of different pore sizes (100 and 250 µm) and hydroxyapatite (HA) supplementation were established by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) to study growth and osteogenesis of human (h) MSCs. The topology of the scaffold prepared via TIPS was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a microCT scan, pycnometry and gravimetric analysis. HMSCs and porcine articular chondrocytes (pACs) were seeded on the PLLA scaffolds without/with 5% HA for 1 and 7 days, and the cell attachment, survival, morphology, proliferation and gene expression of cartilage- and bone-related markers as well as sulfated glycosaminoglycan (sGAG) synthesis were monitored. All scaffold variants were cytocompatible, and hMSCs survived for the whole culture period. Cross-sections revealed living cells that also colonized inner scaffold areas, producing an extracellular matrix (ECM) containing sGAGs. The gene expression of cartilage and bone markers could be detected. HA represents a cytocompatible supplement in PLLA composite scaffolds intended for osteochondral defects.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1230682. [PMID: 37781533 PMCID: PMC10537235 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1230682] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/01/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
In recent years, bone tissue engineering (BTE) has played an essential role in the repair of bone tissue defects. Although bioactive factors as one component of BTE have great potential to effectively promote cell differentiation and bone regeneration, they are usually not used alone due to their short effective half-lives, high concentrations, etc. The release rate of bioactive factors could be controlled by loading them into scaffolds, and the scaffold microstructure has been shown to significantly influence release rates of bioactive factors. Therefore, this review attempted to investigate how the scaffold microstructure affected the release rate of bioactive factors, in which the variables included pore size, pore shape and porosity. The loading nature and the releasing mechanism of bioactive factors were also summarized. The main conclusions were achieved as follows: i) The pore shapes in the scaffold may have had no apparent effect on the release of bioactive factors but significantly affected mechanical properties of the scaffolds; ii) The pore size of about 400 μm in the scaffold may be more conducive to controlling the release of bioactive factors to promote bone formation; iii) The porosity of scaffolds may be positively correlated with the release rate, and the porosity of 70%-80% may be better to control the release rate. This review indicates that a slow-release system with proper scaffold microstructure control could be a tremendous inspiration for developing new treatment strategies for bone disease. It is anticipated to eventually be developed into clinical applications to tackle treatment-related issues effectively.

Effect of Selected Crosslinking and Stabilization Methods on the Properties of Porous Chitosan Composites Dedicated for Medical Applications. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15112507.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most commonly employed natural polymers for biomedical applications. However, in order to obtain stable chitosan biomaterials with appropriate strength properties, it is necessary to subject it to crosslinking or stabilization. Composites based on chitosan and bioglass were prepared using the lyophilization method. In the experimental design, six different methods were used to obtain stable, porous chitosan/bioglass biocomposite materials. This study compared the crosslinking/stabilization of chitosan/bioglass composites with ethanol, thermal dehydration, sodium tripolyphosphate, vanillin, genipin, and sodium β-glycerophosphate. The physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of the obtained materials were compared. The results showed that all the selected crosslinking methods allow the production of stable, non-cytotoxic porous composites of chitosan/bioglass. The composite with genipin stood out with the best of the compared properties, taking into account biological and mechanical characteristics. The composite stabilized with ethanol is distinct in terms of its thermal properties and swelling stability, and it also promotes cell proliferation. Regarding the specific surface area, the highest value exposes the composite stabilized by the thermal dehydration method.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by various factors may cause morphological and functional disorders that can seriously affect patient's quality of life. Autologous bone grafting is morbid, involves numerous complications, and provides limited volume at donor site. Hence, tissue-engineered bone is a better alternative for repair of bone defects and for promoting a patient's functional recovery. Besides good biocompatibility, scaffolding materials represented by hydroxyapatite (HA) composites in tissue-engineered bone also have strong ability to guide bone regeneration. The development of manufacturing technology and advances in material science have made HA composite scaffolding more closely related to the composition and mechanical properties of natural bone. The surface morphology and pore diameter of the scaffold material are more important for cell proliferation, differentiation, and nutrient exchange. The degradation rate of the composite scaffold should match the rate of osteogenesis, and the loading of cells/cytokine is beneficial to promote the formation of new bone. In conclusion, there is no doubt that a breakthrough has been made in composition, mechanical properties, and degradation of HA composites. Biomimetic tissue-engineered bone based on vascularization and innervation show a promising future.

Abstract
Synthetic implants are used to treat large bone defects that are often unable to regenerate, for example those caused by osteoporosis. It is necessary that the materials used to manufacture them are biocompatible and resorbable. Polymer-ceramic composites, such as those based on poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and calcium phosphate ceramics (Ca-P), are often used for these purposes. In this study, we attempted to investigate an innovative strategy for two-step (dual) modification of composites and their components to improve the compatibility of composite components and the adhesion between PLA and Ca-P whiskers, and to increase the mechanical strength of the composite, as well as improve osteological bioactivity and prevent bone resorption in composites intended for bone regeneration. In the first step, Ca-P whiskers were modified with a saturated fatty acid namely, lauric acid (LA), or a silane coupling agent γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES). Then, the composite, characterized by the best mechanical properties, was modified in the second stage of the work with an active chemical compound used in medicine as a first-line drug in osteoporosis-sodium alendronate, belonging to the group of bisphosphonates (BP). As a result of the research covered in this work, the composite modified with APTES and alendronate was found to be a promising candidate for future biomedical engineering applications.

Three Component Composite Scaffolds Based on PCL, Hydroxyapatite, and L-Lysine Obtained in TIPS-SL: Bioactive Material for Bone Tissue Engineering. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms222413589. [PMID: 34948389 PMCID: PMC8707467 DOI: 10.3390/ijms222413589] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In this research, we describe the properties of three-component composite foam scaffolds based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) as a matrix and hydroxyapatite whiskers (HAP) and L-Lysine as fillers (PCL/HAP/Lys with wt% ratio 50/48/2). The scaffolds were prepared using a thermally induced phase separation technique supported by salt leaching (TIPS-SL). All materials were precisely characterized: porosity, density, water uptake, wettability, DSC, and TGA measurements and compression tests were carried out. The microstructure of the obtained scaffolds was analyzed via SEM. It was found that the PCL/HAP/Lys scaffold has a 45% higher Young’s modulus and better wettability compared to the PCL/HAP system. At the same time, the porosity of the system was ~90%. The osteoblast hFOB 1.19 cell response was also investigated in osteogenic conditions (39 °C) and the cytokine release profile of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α was determined. Modification of PCL scaffolds with HAP and L-Lysine significantly improved the proliferation of pre-osteoblasts cultured on such materials.

Improved Osteogenesis by Mineralization Combined With Double-Crosslinked Hydrogel Coating for Proliferation and Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:706423. [PMID: 34917593 PMCID: PMC8670089 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.706423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
In consideration of improving the interface problems of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that hindered biomedical use, surface coatings have been explored as an appealing strategy in establishing a multi-functional coating for osteogenesis. Though the layer-by-layer (LBL) coating developed, a few studies have applied double-crosslinked hydrogels in this technique. In this research, we established a bilayer coating with double-crosslinked hydrogels [alginate–gelatin methacrylate (GelMA)] containing bone morphogenic protein (BMP)-2 [alginate-GelMA/hydroxyapatite (HA)/BMP-2], which displayed great biocompatibility and osteogenesis. The characterization of the coating showed improved properties and enhanced wettability of the native PLLA. To evaluate the biosafety and inductive ability of osteogenesis, the behavior (viability, adherence, and proliferation) and morphology of human bone mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) on the bilayer coatings were tested by multiple exams. The satisfactory function of osteogenesis was verified in bilayer coatings. We found the best ratios between GelMA and alginate for biological applications. The Alg70-Gel30 and Alg50-Gel50 groups facilitated the osteogenic transformation of hBMSCs. In brief, alginate-GelMA/HA/BMP-2 could increase the hBMSCs’ early transformation of osteoblast lineage and promote the osteogenesis of bone defect, especially the outer hydrogel layer such as Alg70-Gel30 and Alg50-Gel50.
