[PMID: 38282967 PMCID: PMC10821497 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 12/17/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/30/2024] Open
Abstract
Mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs), which belong to the category of modern porous nanomaterials, have garnered significant attention due to their impressive biological activities, appealing physicochemical properties, and desirable morphological features. They hold immense potential for utilization in diverse fields, including adsorption, separation, catalysis, bioengineering, and medicine. Despite possessing interior porous structures, excellent morphological characteristics, and superior biocompatibility, primitive MBGs face challenges related to weak encapsulation efficiency, drug loading, and mechanical strength when applied in biomedical fields. It is important to note that the advantageous attributes of MBGs can be effectively preserved by incorporating supramolecular assemblies, miscellaneous metal species, and their conjugates into the material surfaces or intrinsic mesoporous networks. The innovative advancements in these modified colloidal inorganic nanocarriers inspire researchers to explore novel applications, such as stimuli-responsive drug delivery, with exceptional in-vivo performances. In view of the above, we outline the fabrication process of calcium-silicon-phosphorus based MBGs, followed by discussions on their significant progress in various engineered strategies involving surface functionalization, nanostructures, and network modification. Furthermore, we emphasize the recent advancements in the textural and physicochemical properties of MBGs, along with their theranostic potentials in multiple cancerous and non-cancerous diseases. Lastly, we recapitulate compelling viewpoints, with specific considerations given from bench to bedside.

Hard tissue formation in pulpotomized primary teeth in dogs with nanomaterials MCM-48 and MCM-48/hydroxyapatite: an in vivo animal study. BMC Oral Health 2024; 24:322. [PMID: 38468251 PMCID: PMC10926592 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-04098-9] [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: 12/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This animal study sought to evaluate two novel nanomaterials for pulpotomy of primary teeth and assess the short-term pulpal response and hard tissue formation in dogs. The results were compared with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). METHODS This in vivo animal study on dogs evaluated 48 primary premolar teeth of 4 mongrel female dogs the age of 6-8 weeks, randomly divided into four groups (n = 12). The teeth underwent complete pulpotomy under general anesthesia. The pulp tissue was capped with MCM-48, MCM-48/Hydroxyapatite (HA), MTA (positive control), and gutta-percha (negative control), and the teeth were restored with intermediate restorative material (IRM) paste and amalgam. After 4-6 weeks, the teeth were extracted and histologically analyzed to assess the pulpal response to the pulpotomy agent. RESULTS The data were analyzed using the Kruskal‒Wallis, Fisher's exact, Spearman's, and Mann‒Whitney tests. The four groups were not significantly different regarding the severity of inflammation (P = 0.53), extent of inflammation (P = 0.72), necrosis (P = 0.361), severity of edema (P = 0.52), extent of edema (P = 0.06), or connective tissue formation (P = 0.064). A significant correlation was noted between the severity and extent of inflammation (r = 0.954, P < 0.001). The four groups were significantly different regarding the frequency of bone formation (P = 0.012), extent of connective tissue formation (P = 0.047), severity of congestion (P = 0.02), and extent of congestion (P = 0.01). No bone formation was noted in the gutta-percha group. The type of newly formed bone was not significantly different among the three experimental groups (P = 0.320). CONCLUSION MCM-48 and MCM-48/HA are bioactive nanomaterials that may serve as alternatives for pulpotomy of primary teeth due to their ability to induce hard tissue formation. The MCM-48 and MCM-48/HA mesoporous silica nanomaterials have the potential to induce osteogenesis and tertiary (reparative) dentin formation.

Modified host defence peptide GF19 slows TNT-mediated spread of corneal herpes simplex virus serotype I infection. Sci Rep 2024; 14:4096.

Abstract
Corneal HSV-1 infections are a leading cause of infectious blindness globally by triggering tissue damage due to the intense inflammation. HSV-1 infections are treated mainly with antiviral drugs that clear the infections but are inefficient as prophylactics. The body produces innate cationic host defence peptides (cHDP), such as the cathelicidin LL37. Various epithelia, including the corneal epithelium, express LL37. cHDPs can cause disintegration of pathogen membranes, stimulate chemokine production, and attract immune cells. Here, we selected GF17, a peptide containing the LL37 fragment with bioactivity but with minimal cytotoxicity, and added two cell-penetrating amino acids to enhance its activity. The resulting GF19 was relatively cell-friendly, inducing only partial activation of antigen presenting immune cells in vitro. We showed that HSV-1 spreads by tunneling nanotubes in cultured human corneal epithelial cells. GF19 given before infection was able to block infection, most likely by blocking viral entry. When cells were sequentially exposed to viruses and GF19, the infection was attenuated but not arrested, supporting the contention that the GF19 mode of action was to block viral entry. Encapsulation into silica nanoparticles allowed a more sustained release of GF19, enhancing its activity. GF19 is most likely suitable as a prevention rather than a virucidal treatment.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:196.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is widely used in tissue engineering and other biomedical applications. PLA can be modified with appropriate biocompatible ceramic materials since this would allow tailoring the mechanical properties of the tissues to be engineered. In this study, PLA-based non-woven fibrillar nanocomposites containing nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite (HA), a bioceramic commonly used in bone tissue engineering, were prepared via solution blow spinning (SBS). The compositions of the final materials were selected to study the influence of HA concentration on the structure, morphology, and thermal and mechanical properties. The resulting materials were highly porous and mainly constituted fibers. FTIR analysis did not reveal any specific interactions. The diameters of the fibers varied very little with the composition. For example, slightly thinner fibers were obtained for pure PLA and PLA + 10% HA, with fiber diameters of less than 400 nm, while the thicker fibers were found for PLA + 1% HA, with average diameters of 427 ± 170 nm. The crystallinity and stiffness of the PLA/HA composite increased with the HA content. Further, composites containing PLA fibers with slightly larger diameters were more ductile. Thus, with an appropriate balance between factors, such as the diameter of the solution-blow-spun PLA fibers, HA particle content, and degree of crystallinity, PLA/HA composites may be effectively used in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
As a bone tissue engineering scaffold, the objective of this study was to design hierarchical bioceramics based on an electrospun composite of carbon nanofibers (CNF) reinforced with hydroxyapatite (HA) and bioactive glasses (BGs) nanoparticles. The performance of the nanofiber as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering was enhanced by reinforcing it with hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass nanoparticles through a hydrothermal process. The influence of HA and BGs on the morphology and biological properties of carbon nanofibers was examined. The prepared materials were evaluated for cytotoxicity in vitro using the water-soluble tetrazolium salt assay (WST-assay) on Osteoblast-like (MG-63) cells, and oste-ocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, total calcium, total protein, and tar-trate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAcP) were measured. The WST-1, OCN, TRAcP, total calcium, total protein, and ALP activity tests demonstrated that scaffolds reinforced with HA and BGs had excellent in vitro biocompatibility (cell viability and proliferation) and were suitable for repairing damaged bone by stimulating bioactivity and biomarkers of bone cell formation.

Abstract
Osseointegration is a fundamental process during which implantable biomaterial integrates with host bone tissue. The surgical procedure of biomaterial implantation is highly associated with the risk of bacterial infection. Thus, the research continues for biodegradable bone void fillers which are able to stimulate the bone tissue regeneration and locally deliver the antibacterial agent. Herein, we obtained bifunctional bioglass (BG) using novel, preoptimized, rapid one-pot synthesis. Following the ISO Standards, the influence of the obtained BG on osteoblast-mediated phenomena, such as osteoconduction and osteoinduction was assessed and compared to two commercial materials: bioactive glass powder 45S and bioactive glass powder 85S. Direct-contact tests revealed osteoblast adhesion to BG particles; whereas, tests on extracts confirmed high viability of cells incubated with BG extract. Analyses of gene expression, alkaline phosphatase activity, and calcium phosphates deposition confirmed the stimulation of early and late stages of osteoblast differentiation and mineralization. Additionally, an extended evaluation of intracellular calcium fluctuations revealed a possible correlation between osteoblast calcium uptake and extracellular matrix mineralization. Moreover, proposed bioglass exhibited satisfactory doxycycline adsorption capacity and release profile. The obtained results confirmed the bifunctionality of the proposed BG and indicated its potential as osseointegrative bone drug delivery system.

Abstract
In this research, we investigated the structural and biological properties of phosphate glasses (PGs) after the addition of V2O5. A xV2O5∙(100 − x)[CaF2∙3P2O5∙CaO] glass system with 0 ≤ x ≤ 16 mol% was synthesized via a conventional melt-quenching technique. Several analysis techniques (dissolution tests, pH, SEM-EDS, FT-IR, and EPR) were used to obtain new experimental data regarding the structural behavior of the system. In vitro tests were conducted to assess the antitumor character of V2O5-doped glass (x = 16 mol%) compared to the matrix (x = 0 mol%) and control (CTRL-) using several tumoral cell lines (A375, A2780, and Caco-2). The characterization of PGs showed an overall dissolution rate of over 90% for all vitreous samples (M and V1−V7) and the high reactivity of this system. EPR revealed a well-resolved hyperfine structure (hfs) typical of vanadyl ions in a C4v symmetry. FT-IR spectra showed the presence of all structural units expected for P2O5, as well as very clear depolymerization of the vitreous network induced by V2O5. The MTT assay indicated that the viability of tumor cells treated with V7-glass extract was reduced to 50% when the highest concentration was used (10 µg/mL) compared to the matrix treatment (which showed no cytotoxic effect at any concentration). Moreover, the matrix treatment (without V2O5) provided an optimal environment for tumor cell attachment and proliferation. In conclusion, the two types of treatment investigated herein were proven to be very different from a statistical point of view (p < 0.01), and the in vitro studies clearly underline the cytotoxic potential of vanadium ions from phosphate glass (V7) as an antitumor agent.

Abstract
Tissue engineering has emerged as an interesting field nowadays; it focuses on accelerating the auto-healing mechanism of tissues rather than organ transplantation. It involves implanting an In Vitro cultured initiative tissue or a scaffold loaded with tissue regenerating ingredients at the damaged area. Both techniques are based on the use of biodegradable, biocompatible polymers as scaffolding materials which are either derived from natural (e.g. alginates, celluloses, and zein) or synthetic sources (e.g. PLGA, PCL, and PLA). This review discusses in detail the recent applications of different biomaterials in tissue engineering highlighting the targeted tissues besides the in vitro and in vivo key findings. As well, smart biomaterials (e.g. chitosan) are fascinating candidates in the field as they are capable of elucidating a chemical or physical transformation as response to external stimuli (e.g. temperature, pH, magnetic or electric fields). Recent trends in tissue engineering are summarized in this review highlighting the use of stem cells, 3D printing techniques, and the most recent 4D printing approach which relies on the use of smart biomaterials to produce a dynamic scaffold resembling the natural tissue. Furthermore, the application of advanced tissue engineering techniques provides hope for the researchers to recognize COVID-19/host interaction, also, it presents a promising solution to rejuvenate the destroyed lung tissues.

Abstract
Modern biomedicine aims to develop integrated solutions that use medical, biotechnological, materials science, and engineering concepts to create functional alternatives for the specific, selective, and accurate management of medical conditions. In the particular case of tissue engineering, designing a model that simulates all tissue qualities and fulfills all tissue requirements is a continuous challenge in the field of bone regeneration. The therapeutic protocols used for bone healing applications are limited by the hierarchical nature and extensive vascularization of osseous tissue, especially in large bone lesions. In this regard, nanotechnology paves the way for a new era in bone treatment, repair and regeneration, by enabling the fabrication of complex nanostructures that are similar to those found in the natural bone and which exhibit multifunctional bioactivity. This review aims to lay out the tremendous outcomes of using inorganic nanoparticles in bone healing applications, including bone repair and regeneration, and modern therapeutic strategies for bone-related pathologies.

Abstract
Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging disease due to its serious rates of mortality and morbidity while the currently available treatment strategies are suboptimal. In contrast to the adopted systemic treatment approaches after surgical debridement in chronic osteomyelitis, local drug delivery systems are receiving great attention in the recent decades. Local drug delivery systems using special carriers have the pros of enhancing the feasibility of penetration of antimicrobial agents to bone tissues, providing sustained release and localized concentrations of the antimicrobial agents in the infected area while avoiding the systemic side effects and toxicity. Most important, the incorporation of osteoinductive and osteoconductive materials in these systems assists bones proliferation and differentiation, hence the generation of new bone materials is enhanced. Some of these systems can also provide mechanical support for the long bones during the healing process. Most important, if the local systems are designed to be injectable to the affected site and biodegradable, they will reduce the level of invasion required for implantation and can win the patients’ compliance and reduce the healing period. They will also allow multiple injections during the course of therapy to guard against the side effect of the long-term systemic therapy. The current review presents different available approaches for delivering antimicrobial agents for the treatment of osteomyelitis focusing on the recent advances in researches for local delivery of antibiotics.HIGHLIGHTS Chronic osteomyelitis is a challenging disease due to its serious mortality and morbidity rates and limited effective treatment options.
