Abstract
Repair of bone defects exceeding a critical size has been always a big challenge in clinical practice. Tissue engineering has exhibited great potential to effectively repair the defects with less adverse effect than traditional bone grafts, during which how to induce vascularized bone formation has been recognized as a critical issue. Therefore, recently many studies have been launched to attempt to promote osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling. This review summarized comprehensively and explored in depth current efforts to ameliorate the coupling of osteogenesis and angiogenesis from four aspects, namely the optimization of scaffold components, modification of scaffold structures, loading strategies for bioactive substances, and employment tricks for appropriate cells. Especially, the advantages and the possible reasons for every strategy, as well as the challenges, were elaborated. Furthermore, some promising research directions were proposed based on an in-depth analysis of the current research. This paper will hopefully spark new ideas and approaches for more efficiently boosting new vascularized bone formations.

Abstract
The field of bone tissue engineering has seen significant advancements in recent years. Each year, over two million bone transplants are performed globally, and conventional treatments, such as bone grafts and metallic implants, have their limitations. Tissue engineering offers a new level of treatment, allowing for the creation of living tissue within a biomaterial framework. Recent advances in biomaterials have provided innovative approaches to rebuilding bone tissue function after damage. Among them, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel is emerging as a promising biomaterial for supporting cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, and GelMA has exhibited exceptional physicochemical and biological properties, making it a viable option for clinical translation. Various methods and classes of additives have been used in the application of GelMA for bone regeneration, with the incorporation of nanofillers or other polymers enhancing its resilience and functional performance. Despite promising results, the fabrication of complex structures that mimic the bone architecture and the provision of balanced physical properties for both cell and vasculature growth and proper stiffness for load bearing remain as challenges. In terms of utilizing osteogenic additives, the priority should be on versatile components that promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis while reinforcing the structure for bone tissue engineering applications. This review focuses on recent efforts and advantages of GelMA-based composite biomaterials for bone tissue engineering, covering the literature from the last five years.

Abstract
Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy), a tightly regulated physiological process that obliterates dysfunctional and damaged organelles and proteins, has a crucial role when biomaterials are applied for various purposes, including diagnosis, treatment, tissue engineering, and targeted drug delivery. The unparalleled physiochemical properties of nanomaterials make them a key component of medical strategies in different areas, such as osteogenesis, angiogenesis, neurodegenerative disease treatment, and cancer therapy. The application of implants and their modulatory effects on autophagy have been known in recent years. However, more studies are necessary to clarify the interactions and all the involved mechanisms. The advantages and disadvantages of nanomaterial-mediated autophagy need serious attention in both the biological and bioengineering fields. In this mini-review, the role of autophagy after biomaterial exploitation and the possible related mechanisms are explored.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes affect osteoblast function, leading to abnormal bone metabolism and implant failure. Adequate bone volume surrounding an implant is essential for osseointegration, which can be improved by implant surface modifications. In this study, titanium surfaces were hydrothermally treated with a mixture of phytic acid (PA) and calcium hydroxide to produce a calcium-decorated surface. The control group comprised pure titanium with a sandblasted/acid-etched (SLA) surface. The elemental composition, hydrophilicity, surface roughness, and morphology of the titanium surfaces were examined. Evaluation of in vitro osteogenic differentiation ability in a high-glucose environment using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity assays, Alizarin Red S staining, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and immunofluorescence staining revealed that Ca-PA-modified SLA titanium surfaces can promote osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). Evaluation of oxidative stress and aging using reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and β-galactosidase staining revealed that Ca-PA-modified SLA titanium surfaces can reduce ROS production and ameliorate oxidative stress damage in hBMSCs. In vivo assessment of osteogenesis in a diabetic rat model revealed that Ca-PA coating promotes peri-implant osseointegration. Ca-PA-modified SLA titanium surface is a candidate for improving implant osseointegration in patients with diabetes.

Zinc-Based Tannin-Modified Composite Microparticulate Scaffolds with Balanced Antimicrobial Activity and Osteogenesis for Infected Bone Defect Repair. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2300303.

Abstract
Treatment of infected bone defects is a major clinical challenge; bioactive materials combining sufficient antimicrobial activity and favorable osteogenic ability are urgently needed. In this study, through a facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction of zinc acetate in the presence of tannic acid (TA), with or without silver nitrate (AgNO3 ), is used to synthesize a TA or TA and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) bulk-modified zinc oxide (ZnO) (ZnO-TA or ZnO-TA-Ag), which is further composited with zein to fabricate porous microparticulate scaffolds for infected bone defect repair. Bulk TA modification significantly improves the release rate of antibacterial metal ions (Zn2+ release rate is >100 times that of ZnO). Fast and long-lasting (>35 d) Zn2+ and Ag+ release guaranteed sufficient antibacterial capability and excellent osteogenic properties in promoting the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and endogenous citric acid production and mineralization and providing considerable immunomodulatory activity in promoting M2 polarization of macrophages. At the same time, synchronously-released TA could scavenge endogenous reactive oxygen species (ROS) and ROS produced by antibacterial metal ions, effectively balancing antibacterial activity and osteogenesis to sufficiently control infection while protecting the surrounding tissue from damage, thus effectively promoting infected bone defect repair.

Abstract
Biomimetic apatites exhibit a high reactivity allowing ion substitutions to modulate their in vivo response. We developed a novel approach combining several bioactive ions in a spatially controlled way in view of subsequent releases to address the sequence of events occurring after implantation, including potential microorganisms' colonization. Innovative micron-sized core-shell particles were designed with an external shell enriched with an antibacterial ion and an internal core substituted with a pro-angiogenic or osteogenic ion. After developing the proof of concept, two ions were particularly considered, Ag+ in the outer shell and Cu2+ in the inner core. In vitro evaluations confirmed the cytocompatibility through Ag-/Cu-substituting and the antibacterial properties provided by Ag+. Then, these multifunctional "smart" particles were embedded in a polymeric matrix by freeze-casting to prepare 3D porous scaffolds for bone engineering. This approach envisions the development of a new generation of scaffolds with tailored sequential properties for optimal bone regeneration.

Synergistic fabrication of micro-nano bioactive ceramic-optimized polymer scaffolds for bone tissue engineering by in situ hydrothermal deposition and selective laser sintering. JOURNAL OF BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE. POLYMER EDITION 2022; 33:2104-2123. [PMID: 35773230 DOI: 10.1080/09205063.2022.2096526] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/25/2022] [Accepted: 06/28/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Biodegradable three-dimensional porous scaffolds have attracted increasing attention as promising implants in bone tissue engineering. The micro/nano surface structure of scaffolds has also attracted significant attention due to its significant effects on scaffold physicochemical properties and cell behavior. Herein, polycaprolactone-polylactic acid-nano hydroxyapatite (PCL-PLA-nHA) ternary composite porous scaffolds with micro-nano bioactive surfaces were fabricated by combining selective laser sintering (SLS) and in situ hydrothermal deposition processes. The mechanical properties, micro/nano surface morphology, wettability, and cytocompatibility of the composite scaffolds were systematically evaluated. The results showed that the blending of PLA enhanced the compressive and tensile strength of the PCL scaffold, while also enhancing the modulus, but did not significantly change the tensile elongation. Moreover, the blending of PLA changed the fracture mode of the scaffold from ductile to brittle and its fracture mechanism was proposed. In addition, the formation mechanism of micro-nano surfaces under hydrothermal conditions was also summarized according to the micro-morphology of scaffolds. Besides, the PCL-PLA-nHA scaffold exhibited higher mineralization ability, excellent wettability, and better cytocompatibility, indicating its remarkable promise in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Trace elements are recognized as being essential in dentin and bone apatite. The effects of zinc, strontium, magnesium, and iron were discussed in part I. In part II, we evaluated the functional role of copper, manganese, silicon, and lithium on dentin apatite, with critical effects on morphology, crystallinity, and solubility. An electronic search was performed on the role of these trace elements in dentin apatite from January 2000 to January 2022. The recent aspects of the relationship between four different trace elements and their critical role in the structure and mechanics of dentin were assessed. These findings show that elements play a vital role in the human body, especially in the crystalline structure of dentin apatite. Copper presents immense benefits in dental restorative biomaterials because of its importance in enhancing odontogenesis. The biological role of manganese in dentin apatite is still largely unknown, but it has gained attention for many of its broad physiological functions such as modulating osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and metabolism in bones. The functional role of silicon in dentin apatite is similarly lacking, but findings reveal its importance in mineralization and collagen formation, making it useful for the field of restorative dentistry. Likewise, lithium was found to have important roles in dentin mineralization as well as in the formation of dentin bridges and tissues. Therefore, there is growing importance in studying the aforementioned elements in the context of dentin apatite.

Abstract
Osseous tissue repair has advanced due to the introduction of tissue engineering. The key elements required while engineering new tissues involve scaffolds, cells, and bioactive cues. The macrostructural to the nanostructural framework of such complex tissue has engrossed the intervention of nanotechnology for efficient neo-bone formation. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have recently gained interest in bone tissue regeneration due to their multimodal functionality. They are proven to modulate the properties of scaffolds and the osteogenic cells significantly. GNPs also influence different metabolic functions within the body, which directly or indirectly govern the mechanism of bone regeneration. Therefore, this review highlights nanoparticle-mediated osteogenic development, focusing on different aspects of GNPs ranging from scaffold modulation to cellular stimulation. The toxic aspects of gold nanoparticles studied so far are critically explicated, while further insight into the advancements and prospects of these nanoparticles in bone regeneration is also highlighted.

Abstract
Trauma and bone loss from infections, tumors, and congenital diseases make bone repair and regeneration the greatest challenges in orthopedic, craniofacial, and plastic surgeries. The shortage of donors, intrinsic limitations, and complications in transplantation have led to more focus and interest in regenerative medicine. Structures that closely mimic bone tissue can be produced by this unique technology. The steady development of three-dimensional (3D)-printed bone tissue engineering scaffold therapy has played an important role in achieving the desired goal. Bioceramic scaffolds are widely studied and appear to be the most promising solution. In addition, 3D printing technology can simulate mechanical and biological surface properties and print with high precision complex internal and external structures to match their functional properties. Inkjet, extrusion, and light-based 3D printing are among the rapidly advancing bone bioprinting technologies. Furthermore, stem cell therapy has recently shown an important role in this field, although large tissue defects are difficult to fill by injection alone. The combination of 3D-printed bone tissue engineering scaffolds with stem cells has shown very promising results. Therefore, biocompatible artificial tissue engineering with living cells is the key element required for clinical applications where there is a high demand for bone defect repair. Furthermore, the emergence of various advanced manufacturing technologies has made the form of biomaterials and their functions, composition, and structure more diversified, and manifold. The importance of this article lies in that it aims to briefly review the main principles and characteristics of the currently available methods in orthopedic bioprinting technology to prepare bioceramic scaffolds, and finally discuss the challenges and prospects for applications in this promising and vital field.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is lethal to patients because of insufficient blood perfusion to vital organs. Several attempts have been made to improve its prognosis, among which nanomaterial research offers an opportunity to address this problem at the molecular level and has the potential to improve disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment significantly. Up to now, nanomaterial-based technology has played a crucial role in broad novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for cardiac repair. This review summarizes various nanomaterial applications in myocardial infarction from multiple aspects, including high precision detection, pro-angiogenesis, regulating immune homeostasis, and miRNA and stem cell delivery vehicles. We also propose promising research hotspots that have not been reported much yet, such as conjugating pro-angiogenetic elements with nanoparticles to construct drug carriers, developing nanodrugs targeting other immune cells except for macrophages in the infarcted myocardium or the remote region. Though most of those strategies are preclinical and lack clinical trials, there is tremendous potential for their further applications in the future.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is a complex domain that requires further investigation and benefits from data obtained over past decades. The models are increasing in complexity as they reveal new data from co-culturing and microfluidics applications. The in vitro models now focus on the 3D medium co-culturing of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes utilizing collagen for separation; this type of research allows for controlled medium and in-depth data analysis. Oxidative stress takes a toll on the domain, being beneficial as well as destructive. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules that influence the differentiation of osteoclasts, but over time their increasing presence can affect patients and aid the appearance of diseases such as osteoporosis. Oxidative stress can be limited by using antioxidants such as vitamin K and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Scaffolds and biocompatible coatings such as hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass are required to isolate the implant, protect the zone from the metallic, ionic exchange, and enhance the bone regeneration by mimicking the composition and structure of the body, thus enhancing cell proliferation. The materials can be further functionalized with growth factors that create a better response and higher chances of success for clinical use. This review highlights the vast majority of newly obtained information regarding bone tissue engineering, such as new co-culturing models, implant coatings, scaffolds, biomolecules, and the techniques utilized to obtain them.

Abstract
Osseointegration is a sophisticated bone and implant healing process comprising of initial hematoma formation, immediate osteoimmunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. To fulfill rapid and satisfying osseointegration, this study developed a biomimetic implant coating that could confer the intraosseous implants a systematical regulation of the participatory processes. Herein, we shaped dissimilar nano-scale (NS) to form highly biomimetic structures of natural extracellular matrix (ECM) of the host bone and bone healing hematoma with micro/nano-scale (MNS) titania fiber-like network on the surface of titanium (Ti) implants. In vitro experiments revealed that the MNS not only facilitated osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and endothelial cells, respectively, but also suppressed M1 macrophages (MΦs), whereas, stimulated pro-healing M2 phenotype. Notably, BMSCs on MNS surfaces enabled a significant immunomodulatory effect on MΦs resulting in the downregulation of inflammation-related cell signaling pathways. The favorable osteoimmune microenvironment manipulated by MNS further facilitated osteo-/angio-genesis via the crosstalk of multi-signaling pathways. In vivo evaluation mirrored the aforementioned results, and depicted that MNS induced ameliorative osseointegration when compared with the NS as well as the pristine Ti implant. The study demonstrated the modulatory effect of the multifaceted biomimetic structure on spatiotemporal regulation of the participatory processes during osseointegration.

Abstract
Aseptic loosening of a permanent prosthesis remains one of the most common reasons for bone implant failure. To improve the fixation between implant and bone tissue as well as enhance blood vessel formation, bioactive agents are incorporated into the surface of the biomaterial. This study reviews and compares five bioactive elements (copper, magnesium, silicon, strontium, and zinc) with respect to their effect on the angiogenic behavior of endothelial cells (ECs) when incorporated on the surface of biomaterials. Moreover, it provides an overview of the state-of-the-art methodologies used for the in vitro assessment of the angiogenic properties of these elements. Two databases are searched using keywords containing ECs and copper, magnesium, silicon, strontium, and zinc. After applying the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, 59 articles are retained for the final assessment. An overview of the angiogenic properties of five bioactive elements and the methods used for assessment of their in vitro angiogenic potential is presented. The findings show that silicon and strontium can effectively enhance osseointegration through the simultaneous promotion of both angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Therefore, their integration onto the surface of biomaterials can ultimately decrease the incidence of implant failure due to aseptic loosening.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels provide an effective strategy for minimally invasive treatment on irregular bony defects in the maxillofacial region. To improve the osteoinduction of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), we fabricated a three-dimensional (3D) culture system based on the incorporation of magnesium ammonium phosphate hexahydrate (struvite) into GelMA. The optimal concentration of struvite was investigated using the struvite extracts, and 500 μg mL-1 was found to be the most suitable concentration for the osteogenesis of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). We prepared the GelMA composite (MgP) with 500 μg mL-1 struvite. Struvite did not affect the cross-linking of GelMA and released Mg2+ during degradation. The cell delivery system using MgP improved the laden-cell viability, upregulated the expression of osteogenic and angiogenic-differentiation-related genes, and promoted cell migration. Overall, the modifications made to the GelMA in this study improved osteoinduction and demonstrated great potential for application in vascularized bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Background: Copper-containing biomaterials are increasingly applied for bone regeneration due to their pro-angiogenetic, pro-osteogenetic and antimicrobial properties. Therefore, the effect of Cu2+ on osteoclasts, which play a major role in bone remodeling was studied in detail. Methods: Human primary osteoclasts, differentiated from human monocytes were differentiated or cultivated in the presence of Cu2+. Osteoclast formation and activity were analyzed by measurement of osteoclast-specific enzyme activities, gene expression analysis and resorption assays. Furthermore, the glutathione levels of the cells were checked to evaluate oxidative stress induced by Cu2+. Results: Up to 8 µM Cu2+ did not induce cytotoxic effects. Activity of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) was significantly increased, while other osteoclast specific enzyme activities were not affected. However, gene expression of TRAP was not upregulated. Resorptive activity of osteoclasts towards dentin was not changed in the presence of 8 µM Cu2+ but decreased in the presence of extracellular bone matrix. When Cu2+ was added to mature osteoclasts TRAP activity was not increased and resorption decreased only moderately. The glutathione level of both differentiating and mature osteoclasts was significantly decreased in the presence of Cu2+. Conclusions: Differentiating and mature osteoclasts react differently to Cu2+. High TRAP activities are not necessarily related to high resorption.

Abstract
To develop a shapable bulk antibacterial nanocomposite biomaterial for bone regeneration. A bulk agarose-gelatine hydrogel was through mineralised using a hydrogel mineralising system aided with electrophoresis, and the mineralised hydrogel was loaded with minocycline to obtain the agarose-gelatine-hydroxyapatite-minocycline nanocomposite. The nanocomposite had a large BET surface area of 44.4518m2/g and a high porosity of 76.9%. Hydroxyapatite crystals were well developed in the hydrogel matrix and exhibited a hybrid structure of microscale and nanoscale motifs. The addition of minocycline resulted in a continuous antibiotic release, inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus over two weeks in vitro. Exposed to rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, the nanocomposite revealed good cytocompatibility in vitro. Furthermore, the biomaterial could effectively enhance the bone regeneration in a critical-size rabbit cranial defect model in vivo. These findings depicted that the nanocomposite, with good biocompatibility and good antibacterial property, is a promising candidate for future clinical application in bone tissue engineering or as a prospective bone replacement biomaterial.

Abstract
The vascular system, which transports oxygen and nutrients, plays an important role in wound healing, cardiovascular disease treatment and bone tissue engineering. Angiogenesis is a complex and delicate regulatory process. Vascular cells, the extracellular matrix (ECM) and angiogenic factors are indispensable in the promotion of lumen formation and vascular maturation to support blood flow. However, the addition of growth factors or proteins involved in proangiogenic effects is not effective for regulating angiogenesis in different microenvironments. The construction of biomaterial scaffolds to achieve optimal growth conditions and earlier vascularization is undoubtedly one of the most important considerations and major challenges among engineering strategies. Nanomaterials have attracted much attention in biomedical applications due to their structure and unique photoelectric and catalytic properties. Nanomaterials not only serve as carriers that effectively deliver factors such as angiogenesis-related proteins and mRNA but also simulate the nano-topological structure of the primary ECM of blood vessels and stimulate the gene expression of angiogenic effects facilitating angiogenesis. Therefore, the introduction of nanomaterials to promote angiogenesis is a great helpful to the success of tissue regeneration and some ischaemic diseases. This review focuses on the angiogenic effects of nanoscaffolds in different types of tissue regeneration and discusses the influencing factors as well as possible related mechanisms of nanomaterials in endothelial neovascularization. It contributes novel insights into the design and development of novel nanomaterials for vascularization and therapeutic applications.

Comprehensive In Vitro Testing of Calcium Phosphate-Based Bioceramics with Orthopedic and Dentistry Applications. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12223704. [PMID: 31717621 PMCID: PMC6888321 DOI: 10.3390/ma12223704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2019] [Revised: 10/29/2019] [Accepted: 11/05/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Recently, a large spectrum of biomaterials emerged, with emphasis on various pure, blended, or doped calcium phosphates (CaPs). Although basic cytocompatibility testing protocols are referred by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 10993 (parts 1-22), rigorous in vitro testing using cutting-edge technologies should be carried out in order to fully understand the behavior of various biomaterials (whether in bulk or low-dimensional object form) and to better gauge their outcome when implanted. In this review, current molecular techniques are assessed for the in-depth characterization of angiogenic potential, osteogenic capability, and the modulation of oxidative stress and inflammation properties of CaPs and their cation- and/or anion-substituted derivatives. Using such techniques, mechanisms of action of these compounds can be deciphered, highlighting the signaling pathway activation, cross-talk, and modulation by microRNA expression, which in turn can safely pave the road toward a better filtering of the truly functional, application-ready innovative therapeutic bioceramic-based solutions.

Optical coherence tomography angiography for noninvasive evaluation of angiogenesis in a limb ischemia mouse model. Sci Rep 2019; 9:5980. [PMID: 30979948 PMCID: PMC6461622 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-42520-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2018] [Accepted: 04/02/2019] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
We developed an optical coherence tomography angiography technique by improving the speckle contrast algorithm and the imaging process. This technique, which can achieve angiogenesis imaging in vivo without increasing trauma, was used to evaluate the microvasculature in limb ischemia mice. Sixteen left hindlimb ischemia mice were randomly allocated into CuSO4 and saline groups. Within 7 days after treatment, limb ischemic damage, temperature and histological staining were assessed by traditional methods. In addition, angiogenesis was evaluated using an optical coherence tomography angiography system in vivo. All results were compared. After 7 days of treatment, both the ischemic tissue damage score and temperature ratio of the CuSO4 group were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P < 0.05). The number of CD31-positive endothelial cells in the CuSO4 group (0.1836 ± 0.0153) was significantly greater than that in the saline control group (0.0436 ± 0.0069) (P < 0.001). Optical coherence tomography angiography showed that the vessel area density of mice in the CuSO4 group (0.2566 ± 0.0060) was significantly greater than that of mice in the control group (0.2079 ± 0.0202) (P = 0.027). Optical coherence tomography angiography represents a practical and effective method for observing angiogenesis in the mouse hindlimb in vivo without increasing trauma.
