Abstract
Natural bone is a complex organic-inorganic composite tissue that possesses endogenous electrically conductive properties in response to mechanical forces. Mimicking these unique properties collectively in a single synthetic biomaterial has so far remained a formidable task. In this study, we report a synthesis strategy that comprised gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), sol-gel derived tertiary bioactive glass (BG), and uniformly dispersed multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to create nanocomposite hydrogels that mimic the organic-inorganic composition of bone. Using this strategy, biomaterials that are electrically conductive and possess electro-mechanical properties similar to endogenous bone were prepared without affecting their biocompatibility. Nanocomposite hydrogel biomaterials were biodegradable and promoted biomineralization, and supported multipotent mesenchymal progenitor cell (10T1/2) cell interactions and differentiation into an osteogenic lineage. To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first study to functionally characterize suitable electro-mechanical responses in nanocomposite hydrogels, a key process that occurs in the natural bone to drive its repair and regeneration. Overall, the results demonstrated GelMA-BG-MWCNT nanocomposite hydrogels have the potential to become promising bioactive biomaterials for use in bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses are often designed as porous implantable templates in which newly-formed bone can grow in three dimensions (3D). This research work aims to investigate the bone regenerative capability of silicate bioactive glass scaffolds produced by robocasting in comparison with powder and granule-like materials (oxide system: 47.5SiO2-10Na2O-10K2O-10MgO-20CaO-2.5P2O5, mol.%). Morphological and compositional analyses performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) after the bioactivity studies in a simulated body fluid (SBF) confirmed the apatite-forming ability of the scaffolds, which is key to allowing bone-bonding in vivo. The scaffolds exhibited a clear osteogenic effect upon implantation in rabbit femur and underwent gradual resorption followed by ossification. Full resorption in favor of new bone growth was achieved within 6 months. Osseous defect healing was accompanied by the formation of mature bone with abundant osteocytes and bone marrow cells. These in vivo results support the scaffold’s suitability for application in bone tissue engineering and show promise for potential translation to clinical assessment.

Abstract
The cellular response of murine primary macrophages to monodisperse strontium containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (SrBGNPs), with diameters of 90 ± 10 nm and a composition (mol%) of 88.8 SiO2-1.8CaO-9.4SrO (9.4% Sr-BGNPs) was investigated for the first time. Macrophage response is critical as applications of bioactive nanoparticles will involve the nanoparticles circulating in the blood stream and macrophages will be the first cells to encounter the particles, as part of inflammatory response mechanisms. Macrophage viability and total DNA measurements were not decreased by particle concentrations of up to 250 μg/mL. The Sr-BGNPs were actively internalised by the macrophages via formation of endosome/lysosome-like vesicles bordered by a membrane inside the cells. The Sr-BGNPs degraded inside the cells, with the Ca and Sr maintained inside the silica network. When RAW264.7 cells were incubated with Sr-BGNPs, the cells were polarised towards the pro-regenerative M2 population rather than the pro-inflammatory M1 population. Sr-BGNPs are potential biocompatible vehicles for therapeutic cation delivery for applications in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bacterial infection remains a great risk in medical implantation surgery. In this paper, we found that degradable metals may be a feasible alternative option of antibacterial implantation materials. It is known that the spalling mechanism of magnesium (Mg) during degradation leads to Mg ions-induced alkaline environment, which is harmful to planktonic bacteria. In this study, we showed that alkaline pH environment is almost harmless to those adhesive bacteria protected in well-formed biofilms. Moreover, experimental results demonstrated that the biofilm formed in the place where Mg spalls are destroyed, releasing the covered bacteria to be planktonic in the alkaline environment. As a result, the colonization of biofilms continues to shrink during the degradation of Mg. It implies that if degradable metal is employed as implantation material, even if bacterial infection occurs, it may be possibly cured without second surgery.

Mg-BGNs/DCECM Composite Scaffold for Cartilage Regeneration: A Preliminary In Vitro Study. Pharmaceutics 2021; 13:pharmaceutics13101550.

Abstract
Cartilage lesions can lead to progressive cartilage degeneration; moreover, they involve the subchondral bone, resulting in osteoarthritis (OA) onset and progression. Bioactive glasses, with the dual function of supporting both bone and cartilage regeneration, have become a promising biomaterial for cartilage/bone engineering applications. This is especially true for those containing therapeutic ions, which act as ion delivery systems and may further promote cartilage repair. In this study, we successfully fabricated Mg-containing bioactive glass nanospheres (Mg-BGNs) and constructed three different scaffolds, DCECM, Mg-BGNs-1/DCECM (1% Mg-BGNs), and Mg-BGNs-2/DCECM (10% Mg-BGNs) scaffold, by incorporating Mg-BGNs into decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix (DCECM). All three scaffolds showed favorable microarchitectural and ion controlled-release properties within the ideal range of pore size for tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, all scaffolds showed excellent biocompatibility and no signs of toxicity. Most importantly, the addition of Mg-BGNs to the DCECM scaffolds significantly promoted cell proliferation and enhanced chondrogenic differentiation induction of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in pellet culture in a dose-dependent manner. Collectively, the multifunctional Mg-BGNs/DCECM composite scaffold not only demonstrated biocompatibility but also a significant chondrogenic response. Our study suggests that the Mg-BGNs/DCECM composite scaffold would be a promising tissue engineering tool for osteochondral lesions, with the ability to simultaneously stimulate articular cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration.

Biological Evaluation of a New Sodium-Potassium Silico-Phosphate Glass for Bone Regeneration: In Vitro and In Vivo Studies. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14164546.

Abstract
In vitro and in vivo studies are fundamental steps in the characterization of new implantable materials to preliminarily assess their biological response. The present study reports the in vitro and in vivo characterizations of a novel experimental silicate bioactive glass (BG) (47.5B, 47.5SiO2-10Na2O-10K2O-10MgO-20CaO-2.5P2O5 mol.%). Cytocompatibility tests were performed using human mature osteoblasts (U2OS), human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and human endothelial cells (EA.hy926). The release of the early osteogenic alkaline phosphatase (ALP) marker suggested strong pro-osteogenic properties, as the amount was comparable between hMSCs cultivated onto BG surface and cells cultivated onto polystyrene control. Similarly, real-time PCR revealed that the osteogenic collagen I gene was overexpressed in cells cultivated onto BG surface without biochemical induction. Acute toxicity tests for the determination of the median lethal dose (LD50) allowed classifying the analyzed material as a slightly toxic substance with LD50 = 4522 ± 248 mg/kg. A statistically significant difference in bone formation was observed in vivo through comparing the control (untreated) group and the experimental one, proving a clear osteogenic effect induced by the implantation at the defect site. Complete resorption of 47.5B powder was observed after only 3 months in favor of newly formed tissue, thus confirming the high osteostimulatory potential of 47.5B glass.

Abstract
Tissue-engineering has become the best alternative solution for replacing the damaged tissues. However, the cost of scaffold materials is still a big challenge, so the development of cost-effective scaffolds is highly encouraged. In this research, different types of cotton textile-scaffolds as a cellulosic material were developed to be utilized as a substrate for cells proliferation. They were loaded with bioactive glass (BG) doped with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The effect of the loaded materials on the physicochemical and mechanical characteristics of the cellulosic textile scaffolds was investigated by means of FTIR, contact angle, physical and mechanical properties of the cotton fabrics, in addition to assessing their antimicrobial activity. Moreover, the biomineralization was evaluated after soaking in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) using ICP and SEM accessorized with EDX. Cells proliferation capacities of the developed cellulosic woven-scaffolds were assessed against MG63 cell line at different incubation times. The physicochemical and mechanical features of these fabrics demonstrated a positive influence for the existence of BG impregnation, especially those doped with AgNPs. The antimicrobial features were also affirmed for the cellulosic scaffolds. More pronounced influence was observed on the biomineralization of the scaffold impregnated with BG doped with 0.5% Ag. The percentages of proliferated cells were very close to negative control (100% ± 10). This approach offers a novel and affordable alternative cellulosic woven-scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Abstract
One of the main problems that remain in the implant industry is poor osseointegration due to bioinertness of implants. In order to promote bioactivity, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and strontium (Sr) were incorporated into a TiO2 porous layer produced by micro-arc oxidation. Ca and P as bioactive elements are already well reported in the literature, however, the knowledge of the effect of Sr is still limited. In the present work, the effect of various amounts of Sr was evaluated and the morphology, chemical composition and crystal structure of the oxide layer were investigated. Furthermore, in vitro studies were carried out using human osteoblast-like cells. The oxide layer formed showed a triplex structure, where higher incorporation of Sr increased Ca/P ratio, amount of rutile and promoted the formation of SrTiO3 compound. Biological tests revealed that lower concentrations of Sr did not compromise initial cell adhesion neither viability and interestingly improved mineralization. However, higher concentration of Sr (and consequent higher amount of rutile) showed to induce collagen secretion but with compromised mineralization, possibly due to a delayed mineralization process or induced precipitation of deficient hydroxyapatite. Ca-P-TiO2 porous layer with less concentration of Sr seems to be an ideal candidate for bone implants.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine is a field that aims to influence and improvise the processes of tissue repair and restoration and to assist the body to heal and recover. In the field of hard tissue regeneration, bio-inert materials are being predominantly used, and there is a necessity to use bioactive materials that can help in better tissue-implant interactions and facilitate the healing and regeneration process. One such bioactive material that is being focused upon and studied extensively in the past few decades is bioactive glass (BG). The original bioactive glass (45S5) is composed of silicon dioxide, sodium dioxide, calcium oxide, and phosphorus pentoxide and is mainly referred to by its commercial name Bioglass. BG is mainly used for bone tissue regeneration due to its osteoconductivity and osteostimulation properties. The bioactivity of BG, however, is highly dependent on the compositional ratio of certain glass-forming system content. The manipulation of content ratio and the element compositional flexibility of BG-forming network developed other types of bioactive glasses with controllable chemical durability and chemical affinity with bone and bioactivity. This review article mainly discusses the basic information about silica-based bioactive glasses, including their composition, processing, and properties, as well as their medical applications such as in bone regeneration, as bone grafts, and as dental implant coatings.

Abstract
Bioactive ceramics are promising candidates as 3D porous substrates for bone repair in bone regenerative medicine. However, they are often inefficient in clinical applications due to mismatching mechanical properties and compromised biological performances. Herein, the additional Sr dopant is hypothesized to readily adjust the mechanical and biodegradable properties of the dilute Mg-doped wollastonite bioceramic scaffolds with different pore geometries (cylindrical-, cubic-, gyroid-) by ceramic stereolithography. The results indicate that the compressive strength of Mg/Sr co-doped bioceramic scaffolds could be tuned simultaneously by the Sr dopant and pore geometry. The cylindrical-pore scaffolds exhibit strength decay with increasing Sr content, whereas the gyroid-pore scaffolds show increasing strength and Young's modulus as the Sr concentration is increased from 0 to 5%. The ion release could also be adjusted by pore geometry in Tris buffer, and the high Sr content may trigger a faster scaffold bio-dissolution. These results demonstrate that the mechanical strengths of the bioceramic scaffolds can be controlled from the point at which their porous structures are designed. Moreover, scaffold bio-dissolution can be tuned by pore geometry and doping foreign ions. It is reasonable to consider the nonstoichiometric bioceramic scaffolds are promising for bone regeneration, especially when dealing with pathological bone defects.

Bone Healing Evaluation Following Different Osteotomic Techniques in Animal Models: A Suitable Method for Clinical Insights. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Osteotomy is a common step in oncological, reconstructive, and trauma surgery. Drilling and elevated temperature during osteotomy produce thermal osteonecrosis. Heat and associated mechanical damage during osteotomy can impair bone healing, with consequent failure of fracture fixation or dental implants. Several ex vivo studies on animal bone were recently focused on heating production during osteotomy with conventional drill and piezoelectric devices, particularly in endosseous dental implant sites. The current literature on bone drilling and osteotomic surface analysis is here reviewed and the dynamics of bone healing after osteotomy with traditional and piezoelectric devices are discussed. Moreover, the methodologies involved in the experimental osteotomy and clinical studies are compared, focusing on ex vivo and in vivo findings.

Abstract
Critical-sized defects (CSDs) caused by trauma, tumor resection, or skeletal abnormalities create a high demand for bone repair materials (BRMs). Over the years, scientists have been trying to develop BRMs and evaluate their efficacy using numerous developed methods. BRMs are characterized by osteogenesis and angiogenesis promoting properties, the latter of which has rarely been studied in vitro and in vivo. While blood vessels are required to provide nutrients. Bone mass maintains a dynamic balance under the joint action of osteolytic and osteogenic activity in which monocytes differentiate into osteolytic cells, and osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteogenic cells. This review would be helpful for inexperienced researchers as well as present a comprehensive overview of methods used to investigate the effect of BRMs on osteogenic cells, osteolytic cells, and blood vessels, as well as their biocompatibility and biological performance. This review is expected to facilitate further research and development of new BRMs.

[PMID: 32204013 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.110699] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2019] [Revised: 01/15/2020] [Accepted: 01/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
In this work, a new bioactive glass was designed, prepared by means of a melt-quenching route and characterized in terms of both thermal properties and biological performance. The main objective was to obtain a novel product with high temperature of crystallization in view of possible thermal treatments, as well as remarkable biological responsiveness. Thermal behavior was investigated by heating microscopy, differential thermal analysis (DTA) and sintering tests. The glass displayed a very high crystallization temperature and the samples remained completely amorphous after sintering. Bioactivity was evaluated by means of Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) assay, which is a widely used method to preliminary investigate samples' reactivity in vitro; the glass showed a strong apatite forming ability. Additionally, in order to exclude cytotoxic effects, biocompatibility was verified according to ISO standard 10993. Finally, the biological potential of the new glass was tested by using an innovative 3D cellular model, that mimicked the potential clinical application of a given biomaterial. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) were employed to study the performance of bioactive glass granules in such 3D cellular model. The results showed that the bioactive glass supported human BM-MSCs adhesion, colonization and bone differentiation. Thus, this new bioactive glass looks particularly promising for orthopedic applications, bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, especially when a thermal treatment is necessary for the production of specific devices.

Abstract
Most materials for bone tissue engineering are in form of highly porous open-celled components (porosity >70%) developed by means of an adequate coupling of formulations and manufacturing technologies. This paper is dedicated to porous components from BGMS10 bioactive glass, originally designed to undergo viscous flow sintering without crystallization, which is generally known to degrade the bioactivity of 45S5 bioglass. The adopted manufacturing technologies were specifically conceived to avoid any contamination and give excellent control on the microstructures by simple operations. More precisely, 'green' components were obtained by digital light processing and direct foaming of glass powders suspended in a photosensitive organic binder or in an aqueous solution, activated with an organic base, respectively. Owing to characteristic quite large sintering window of BGMS10 glass, sintering at 750 °C caused the consolidation of the structures generated at room temperature, without any evidence of viscous collapse.

Abstract
A 3D cellular model that mimics the potential clinical application of a biomaterial is here applied for the first time to a bioactive glass, in order to assess its biological potential. A recently developed bioactive glass (BGMS10), whose composition contained strontium and magnesium, was produced in the form of granules and fully investigated in terms of biocompatibility in vitro. Apart from standard biological characterization (Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) testing and biocompatibility as per ISO10993), human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (BM-MSCs) were used to investigate the performance of the bioactive glass granules in an innovative 3D cellular model. The results showed that BGMS10 supported human BM-MSCs adhesion, colonization, and bone differentiation. Thus, bioactive glass granules seem to drive osteogenic differentiation and thus look particularly promising for orthopedic applications, bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
(1) Background: valuation of the bioactivity and cytocompatibility of P2O5-free and CeO2 doped glasses. (2) Methods: all glasses are based on the Kokubo (K) composition and prepared by a melting method. Doped glassed, K1.2, K3.6 and K5.3 contain 1.2, 3.6, and 5.3 mol% of CeO2. Bioactivity and cytotoxicity tests were carried out in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution and murine osteocyte (MLO-Y4) cell lines, respectively. Leaching of ions concentration in SBF was determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The surface of the glasses were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. (3) Results: P2O5-free cerium doped glasses are proactive according to European directives. Cerium increases durability and retards, but does not inhibit, (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HA) formation at higher cerium amounts (K3.6 and K5.3); however, cell proliferation increases with the amount of cerium especially evident for K5.3. (4) Conclusions: These results enforce the use of P2O5-free cerium doped bioactive glasses as a new class of biomaterials.

Abstract
Bone physiology relies on the delicate balance between resorption and formation of its tissue. Bone resorption depends on a process called osteoclastogenesis in which bone-resorbing cells, i.e., osteoclasts, are produced by the differentiation of more undifferentiated progenitors and precursors. This process is governed by two main factors, monocyte-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) and receptor activator of NFκB ligand (RANKL). While the former exerts a proliferating effect on progenitors/precursors, the latter triggers a differentiation effect on more mature cells of the same lineage. Bone homeostasis requires a perfect space–time coordination of the involved signals. When osteoclastogenesis is poorly balanced with the differentiation of the bone forming counterparts, i.e., osteoblasts, physiological bone remodelling can turn into a pathological state, causing the systematic disruption of bone tissue which results in osteopenia or osteolysis. Examples of these conditions are represented by osteoporosis, Paget’s disease, bone metastasis, and multiple myeloma. Therefore, drugs targeting osteoclastogenesis, such as bisphosphonates and an anti-RANKL monoclonal antibody, have been developed and are currently used in the treatment of such diseases. Despite their demonstrated therapeutic efficacy, these agents are unfortunately not devoid of side effects. In this regard, a condition called osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) has been recently correlated with anti-resorptive therapy. In this review we will address the involvement of osteoclasts and osteoclast-related factors in the pathogenesis of ONJ. It is to be hoped that a better understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying bone remodelling will help in the design a medical therapeutic approach for ONJ as an alternative to surgical procedures.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, biomedical scientists and surgeons have given substantial attention to bioactive glasses as promising, long-lasting biomaterials that can make chemical connections with the neighboring hard and soft tissues. Several studies have examined the cellular and molecular responses to bioactive glasses to determine if they are suitable biomaterials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this regard, different ions and additives have been used recently to induce specific characteristics for selective cellular and molecular responses. This Review briefly describes foreign-body response mechanisms and the role of adsorbed proteins as the key players in starting interactions between cells and biomaterials. It then explains the physicochemical properties of the most common bioactive glasses, which have a significant impact on their cellular and molecular responses. It is expected that, with the development of novel strategies, the physiochemical properties of bioactive glasses can be engineered to precisely control proteins' adsorption and cellular functions after implantation.
