Abstract
Treating cancer remains challenging due to the substantial side effects and unfavourable pharmacokinetic characteristics of antineoplastic medications, despite the progress made in comprehending the properties and actions of tumour cells in recent years. The advancement of biomaterials, such as stents, implants, personalised drug delivery systems, tailored grafts, cell sheets, and other transplantable materials, has brought about a significant transformation in healthcare and medicine in recent years. Gelatin is a very adaptable natural polymer that finds extensive application in healthcare-related industries owing to its favourable characteristics, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, affordability, and the presence of accessible chemical groups. Gelatin is used as a biomaterial in the biomedical sector for the creation of drug delivery systems (DDSs) since it may be applied to various synthetic procedures. Gelatin nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively employed as carriers for drugs and genes, specifically targeting diseased tissues such as cancer, tuberculosis, and HIV infection, as well as treating vasospasm and restenosis. This is mostly due to their biocompatibility and ability to degrade naturally. Gelatins possess a diverse array of potential applications that require more elucidation. This review focuses on the use of gelatin and its derivatives in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The advancement of biomaterials and bioreactors, coupled with the increasing understanding of emerging applications for biomaterials, has enabled progress in enhancing the efficacy of tumour treatment.

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
Immunotherapies have become the standard treatment for melanoma. To further improve patient responses, combinations of immunotherapies and radiotherapy (RT) are being studied, since radiotherapies can potentially provide additional immune stimulation, in addition to direct antitumor effects. FLASH-RT is a novel, ultrahigh dose rate, radiation delivery approach, with the potential of at least equivalent tumor control efficacy and reduced damage to healthy tissue. However, the effects of combining FLASH-RT and immunotherapy have not been extensively studied in melanoma. Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists, such as imiquimod (IMQ), are potent immunostimulatory agents, although their utility is limited due to poor solubility and systemic side effects. We therefore developed a novel combination therapy for melanoma consisting of IMQ delivered to the tumor via a radiopaque and radiation responsive hydrogel combined with FLASH-RT. We found that FLASH was able to effectively stimulate IMQ release from the hydrogel. In addition, we found that the combination of FLASH and released IMQ resulted in synergistic melanoma cell killing in vitro. The combination therapy reduced tumor growth compared to controls, enhanced survival, and resulted in remarkable enhancements in certain tumor cytokine levels. CT imaging allowed the hydrogel to be monitored in vivo. In addition, no adverse effects of the treatment were observed. Overall, this IMQ-gel and FLASH-RT combination may have potential as an improved treatment for melanoma and indicates that the interactions of FLASH-RT and TLR agonists merit further study.

Abstract
This study implemented the application of microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) as a characterization technique for the study and investigation of the microstructure of 3D scaffold structures produced via three-dimensional bioprinting (3DBP). The study focused on the preparation, characterization, and cytotoxicity analysis of gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) incorporated into 3DBP hydrogels for micro-CT evaluation. The Au-NPs were characterized by using various techniques, including UV-vis spectrometry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), zeta potential measurement, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The characterization results confirmed the successful coating of the Au-NPs with 2 kDa methoxy-PEG and revealed their spherical shape with a mean core diameter of 66 nm. Cytotoxicity analysis using live-dead fluorescent microscopy indicated that all tested Au-NP solutions were nontoxic to AC16 cardiomyocytes in both 2D and 3D culture conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed distinguishable differences in image contrast and intensity between samples with and without Au-NPs, with high concentrations of Au-NPs displaying nanoparticle aggregates. Micro-CT imaging demonstrated that scaffolds containing Au-NPs depicted enhanced imaging resolution and quality, allowing for visualization of the microstructure. The 3D reconstruction of scaffold structures from micro-CT imaging using Dragonfly software further supported the improved visualization. Mechanical analysis revealed that the addition of Au-NPs enhanced the mechanical properties of acellular scaffolds, including their elastic moduli and complex viscosity, but the presence of cells led to biodegradation and reduced mechanical strength. These findings highlight the successful preparation and characterization of Au-NPs, their nontoxic nature in both 2D and 3D culture conditions, their influence on imaging quality, and the impact on the mechanical properties of 3D-printed hydrogels. These results contribute to the development of functional and biocompatible materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Today, tissue engineering strategies need the improvement of advanced hydrogels with biological and mechanical properties similar to natural cartilage for joint regeneration. In this study, an interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel composed of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA)/alginate (Algin)/nano-clay (NC) with self-healing ability was developed with particular consideration to balancing of the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of bioink material. Subsequently, the properties of the synthesized nanocomposite IPN, including the chemical structure, rheological behavior, physical properties (i.e. porosity and swelling), mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and self-healing performance were evaluated to investigate the potential application of the developed hydrogel for cartilage tissue engineering (CTE). The synthesized hydrogels showed highly porous structures with dissimilar pore sizes. The results revealed that the NC incorporation improved the properties of GelMA/Algin IPN, such as porosity, and mechanical strength (reached 170 ± 3.5 kPa), while the NC incorporation decreased the degradation (63.8 %) along with retaining biocompatibility. Therefore, the developed hydrogel showed a promising potential for the treatment of tissue defects in cartilage.

Abstract
Bone defects are a common bone disease, which are usually caused by accidents, trauma and tumors. However, the treatment of bone defects is still a great clinical challenge. In recent years, research on bone repair materials has continued with great success, but there are few reports on the repair of bone defects at a high lipid level. Hyperlipidemia is a risk factor in the process of bone defect repair, which has a negative impact on the process of osteogenesis, increasing the difficulty of bone defect repair. Therefore, it is necessary to find materials that can promote bone defect repair under the condition of hyperlipidemia. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been applied in the fields of biology and clinical medicine for many years and developed to modulate osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation. In vitro and vivo studies displayed that they promoted bone formation and inhibited fat accumulation. Further, the metabolism and mechanisms of AuNPs acting on osteogenesis/adipogenesis were partially revealed by researchers. This review further clarifies the role of AuNPs in osteogenic/adipogenic regulation during the process of osteogenesis and bone regeneration by summarizing the related in vitro and in vivo research, discussing the advantages and challenges of AuNPs and highlighting several possible directions for future research, with the aim to provide a new strategy for dealing with bone defects in hyperlipidemic patients.

Abstract
Bone tumors, including primary bone tumors, invasive bone tumors, metastatic bone tumors, and others, are one of the most clinical difficulties in orthopedics. Once these tumors have grown and developed in the bone system, they will interact with osteocytes and other environmental cells in the bone system's microenvironment, leading to the eventual damage of the bone's physical structure. Surgical procedures for bone tumors may result in permanent defects. The dual-efficacy of tissue regeneration and tumor treatment has made biomaterial scaffolds frequently used in treating bone tumors. 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing or rapid printing prototype, is the transformation of 3D computer models into physical models through deposition, curing, and material fusion of successive layers. Adjustable shape, porosity/pore size, and other mechanical properties are an advantage of 3D-printed objects, unlike natural and synthetic material with fixed qualities. Researchers have demonstrated the significant role of diverse 3D-printed biological scaffolds in the treatment for bone tumors and the regeneration of bone tissue, and that they enhanced various performance of the products. Based on the characteristics of bone tumors, this review synthesized the findings of current researchers on the application of various 3D-printed biological scaffolds including bioceramic scaffold, metal alloy scaffold and nano-scaffold, in bone tumors and discussed the advantages, disadvantages, and future application prospects of various types of 3D-printed biological scaffolds. Finally, the future development trend of 3D-printed biological scaffolds in bone tumor is summarized, providing a theoretical foundation and a larger outlook for the use of biological scaffolds in the treatment of patients with bone tumors.

Abstract
The odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which is vital for tooth regeneration, was regulated by various functional molecules. In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that miRNAs play a crucial role in the odontogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). However, the mechanisms by which miRNAs regulated odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs remained unclear, and the application of miRNAs in reparative dentin formation in vivo was also rare. In this study, we first discovered that miR-3074-3p had an inhibitory effect on odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs and antagomiR-3074-3p-conjugated PEI-AuNPs effectively promoted odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs in vitro. AntagomiR-3074-3p-conjugated PEI-AuNPs was further applied to the rat pulp-capping model and showed the increased formation of restorative dentin. In addition, the results of lentivirus transfection in vitro suggested that FKBP9 acted as the key target of miR-3074-3p in regulating the odontogenic differentiation of hDPSCs. These findings might provide a new strategy and candidate target for dentin restoration and tooth regeneration.

Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based composites are evolving three-dimensional (3D) networking hydrophilic protein composite scaffolds with high water content. These protein composites have been devoted to biomedical applications due to their unique abilities, such as flexibility, soft structure, versatility, stimuli-responsiveness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and others. They resemble the native extracellular matrix (ECM) thanks to their remarkable cell-adhesion and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive amino acid motifs. These favorable properties promote cells to proliferate and inflate within GelMA-protein scaffolds. The performance of GelMA composites has been enriched using cell-amenable components, including peptides and proteins with a high affinity to harmonize cellular activities and tissue morphologies. Due to their inimitable merits, GelMA systems have been used in various fields such as drug delivery, biosensor, the food industry, biomedical, and other health sectors. The current knowledge and the role of GelMA scaffolds in bone tissue engineering are limited. The rational design and development of novel nanomaterials-incorporated GelMA-based composites with unique physicochemical and biological advantages would be used to regulate cellular functionality and bone regeneration. Substantial challenges remain. This review focuses on recent progress in mitigating those disputes. The study opens with a brief introduction to bone tissue engineering and GelMA-based composites, followed by their potential applications in bone tissue engineering. The future perspectives and current challenges of GelMA composites are demonstrated. This review would guide the researchers to design and fabricate more efficient multifunctional GelMA-based composites with improved characteristics for their practical applications in bone tissue engineering and biomedical segments.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a three-dimensional, acellular scaffold of living tissues. Incorporating the ECM into cell culture models is a goal of cell biology studies and requires biocompatible materials that can mimic the ECM. Among such materials are hydrogels: polymeric networks that derive most of their mass from water. With the tuning of their properties, these polymer networks can resemble living tissues. The microarchitectural properties of hydrogels, such as porosity, pore size, fiber length, and surface topology can determine cell plasticity. The adequate characterization of these parameters requires reliable and reproducible methods. However, most methods were historically standardized using other biological specimens, such as 2D cell cultures, biopsies, or even animal models. Therefore, their translation comes with technical limitations when applied to hydrogel-based cell culture systems. In our current work, we have reviewed the most common techniques employed in the characterization of hydrogel microarchitectures. Our review provides a concise description of the underlying principles of each method and summarizes the collective data obtained from cell-free and cell-loaded hydrogels. The advantages and limitations of each technique are discussed, and comparisons are made. The information presented in our current work will be of interest to researchers who employ hydrogels as platforms for cell culture, 3D bioprinting, and other fields within hydrogel-based research.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a rapidly evolving, multidisciplinary field that aims at generating or regenerating 3D functional tissues for in vitro disease modeling and drug screening applications or for in vivo therapies. A variety of advanced biological and engineering methods are increasingly being used to further enhance and customize the functionality of tissue engineered scaffolds. To this end, tunable drug delivery and release mechanisms are incorporated into tissue engineering modalities to promote different therapeutic processes, thus, addressing challenges faced in the clinical applications. In this review, we elaborate the mechanisms and recent developments in different drug delivery vehicles, including the quantum dots, nano/micro particles, and molecular agents. Different loading strategies to incorporate the therapeutic reagents into the scaffolding structures are explored. Further, we discuss the main mechanisms to tune and monitor/quantify the release kinetics of embedded drugs from engineered scaffolds. We also survey the current trend of drug delivery using stimuli driven biopolymer scaffolds to enable precise spatiotemporal control of the release behavior. Recent advancements, challenges facing current scaffold-based drug delivery approaches, and areas of future research are discussed.

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
![]()
There is a growing
need to develop novel well-characterized biological
inks (bioinks) that are customizable for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting
of specific tissue types. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) is one such
candidate bioink due to its biocompatibility and tunable mechanical
properties. Currently, only low-concentration GelMA hydrogels (≤5%
w/v) are suitable as cell-laden bioinks, allowing high cell viability,
elongation, and migration. Yet, they offer poor printability. Herein,
we optimize GelMA bioinks in terms of concentration and cross-linking
time for improved skeletal muscle C2C12 cell spreading in 3D, and
we augment these by adding gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) or a two-dimensional
(2D) transition metal carbide (MXene nanosheets) for enhanced printability
and biological properties. AuNP and MXene addition endowed GelMA with
increased conductivity (up to 0.8 ± 0.07 and 0.9 ± 0.12
S/m, respectively, compared to 0.3 ± 0.06 S/m for pure GelMA).
Furthermore, it resulted in an improvement of rheological properties
and printability, specifically at 10 °C. Improvements in electrical
and rheological properties led to enhanced differentiation of encapsulated
myoblasts and allowed for printing highly viable (97%) stable constructs.
Taken together, these results constitute a significant step toward
fabrication of 3D conductive tissue constructs with physiological
relevance.

Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), a photocrosslinkable gelatin-based hydrogel, has been immensely used for diverse applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. Apart from its excellent functionality and versatile mechanical properties, it is also suitable for a wide range of fabrication methodologies to generate tissue constructs of desired shapes and sizes. Despite its exceptional characteristics, it is predominantly limited by its weak mechanical strength, as some tissue types naturally possess high mechanical stiffness. The use of high GelMA concentrations yields high mechanical strength, but not without the compromise in its porosity, degradability, and three-dimensional (3D) cell attachment. Recently, GelMA has been blended with various natural and synthetic biomaterials to reinforce its physical properties to match with the tissue to be engineered. Among these, nanomaterials have been extensively used to form a composite with GelMA, as they increase its biological and physicochemical properties without affecting the unique characteristics of GelMA and also introduce electrical and magnetic properties. This review article presents the recent advances in the formation of hybrid GelMA nanocomposites using a variety of nanomaterials (carbon, metal, polymer, and mineral-based). We give an overview of each nanomaterial's characteristics followed by a discussion of the enhancement in GelMA's physical properties after its incorporation. Finally, we also highlight the use of each GelMA nanocomposite for different applications, such as cardiac, bone, and neural regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels, water-swollen polymer networks, are being applied to numerous biomedical applications, such as drug delivery and tissue engineering, due to their potential tunable rheologic properties, injectability into tissues, and encapsulation and release of therapeutics. Despite their promise, it is challenging to assess their properties in vivo and crucial information such as hydrogel retention at the site of administration and in situ degradation kinetics are often lacking. To address this, technologies to evaluate and track hydrogels in vivo with various imaging techniques have been developed in recent years, including hydrogels functionalized with contrast generating material that can be imaged with methods such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical imaging, and nuclear imaging systems. In this review, we will discuss emerging approaches to label hydrogels for imaging, review the advantages and limitations of these imaging techniques, and highlight examples where such techniques have been implemented in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Despite widespread use of conventional diagnostic methods in orthopaedic applications, limitations still exist in detection and diagnosing many pathologies especially at early stages when intervention is most critical. The use of biomaterials to develop diagnostics and theranostics, including nanoparticles and scaffolds for systemic or local applications, has significant promise to address these shortcomings and enable successful clinical translation. These developments in both modular and holistic design of diagnostic and theranostic biomaterials may improve patient treatments for myriad orthopaedic applications ranging from cancer to fractures to infection.

Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel is a photopolymerizable biomaterial widely used for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture due to its high biocompatibility. However, the drawback of GelMA hydrogel is its poor mechanical properties, which may compromise the feasibility of biofabrication techniques. In this study, a cell-laden GelMA composite hydrogel with a combination incorporating silanized hydroxyapatite (Si-HAp) and a simple and harmless visible light crosslinking system for this hydrogel were developed. The incorporation of Si-HAp into the GelMA hydrogel enhanced the mechanical properties of the composite hydrogel. Moreover, the composite hydrogel exhibited low cytotoxicity and promoted the osteogenic gene expression of embedded MG63 cells and Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs). We also established a maskless lithographic method to fabricate a defined 3D structure under visible light by using a digital light processing projector, and the incorporation of Si-HAp increased the resolution of photolithographic hydrogels. The GelMA-Si-HAp composite hydrogel system can serve as an effective biomaterial in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is rapidly evolving, offering great potential for manufacturing functional tissue analogs for use in diverse biomedical applications, including regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and disease modeling. Biomaterials used as bioinks in printing processes must meet strict physiochemical and biomechanical requirements to ensure adequate printing fidelity, while closely mimicking the characteristics of the native tissue. To achieve this goal, nanomaterials are increasingly being investigated as a robust tool to functionalize bioink materials. In this review, we discuss the growing role of different nano-biomaterials in engineering functional bioinks for a variety of tissue engineering applications. The development and commercialization of these nanomaterial solutions for 3D bioprinting would be a significant step towards clinical translation of biofabrication.

Abstract
Fabrication of scaffolds using polymers and then cell seeding is a routine protocol of tissue engineering applications. Synthetic polymers have adequate mechanical properties to substitute for some bone tissue, but they are generally hydrophobic and have no specific cell recognition sites, which leads to poor cell affinity and adhesion. Some natural polymers, have high cell affinity but are mechanically weak and do not have the strength required as a bone supporting material. In the present study, 3D printed hybrid scaffolds were fabricated using PCL and GelMA carrying dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), which is printed in the gaps between the PCL struts. This cell loaded GelMA was shown to support osteoinductivity, while the PCL provided mechanical strength needed to mimic the bone tissue. 3D printed PCL/GelMA and GelMA scaffolds were highly stable during 21 days of incubation in PBS. The compressive moduli of the hybrid scaffolds were in the range of the compressive moduli of trabecular bone. DPSCs were homogeneously distributed throughout the entire hydrogel component and exhibited high cell viability in both scaffolds during 21 days of incubation. Upon osteogenic differentiation DPSCs expressed two key matrix proteins, osteopontin and osteocalcin. Alizarin red staining showed mineralized nodules, which demonstrates osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs within GelMA. This construct yielded a very high cell viability, osteogenic differentiation and mineralization comparable to cell culture without compromising mechanical strength suitable for bone tissue engineering applications. Thus, 3D printed, cell loaded PCL/GelMA hybrid scaffolds have a great potential for use in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that aims to combine life sciences and engineering to create therapies that regenerate functional tissue. Early work in tissue engineering mostly used materials as inert scaffolding structures, but research has shown that constructing scaffolds from biologically active materials can help with regeneration by enabling cell-scaffold interactions or release of factors that aid in regeneration. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a promising technique for the fabrication of structurally intricate and compositionally complex tissue engineering scaffolds. Such scaffolds can be functionalized with techniques developed by nanotechnology research to further enhance their ability to stimulate regeneration and interact with cells. Nanotechnological components, nanoscale textures, and microscale/nanoscale printing can all be incorporated into the manufacture of 3D printed scaffolds. This review discusses recent advancements in the merging of nanotechnology with 3D printed tissue engineering scaffolds, with a focus on applications of nanoscale components, nanoscale texture, and innovative printing techniques and the effects observed in vitro and in vivo.

Gelatin Methacryloyl (GelMA) Nanocomposite Hydrogels Embedding Bioactive Naringin Liposomes. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12122944. [PMID: 33317207 PMCID: PMC7764353 DOI: 10.3390/polym12122944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Revised: 12/07/2020] [Accepted: 12/07/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The development of nanocomposite hydrogels that take advantage of hierarchic building blocks is gaining increased attention due to their added functionality and numerous biomedical applications. Gathering on the unique properties of these platforms, herein we report the synthesis of bioactive nanocomposite hydrogels comprising naringin-loaded salmon-derived lecithin nanosized liposomal building blocks and gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) macro-sized hydrogels for their embedding. This platform takes advantage of liposomes’ significant drug loading capacity and their role in hydrogel network reinforcement, as well as of the injectability and light-mediated crosslinking of bioderived gelatin-based biomaterials. First, the physicochemical properties, as well as the encapsulation efficiency, release profile, and cytotoxicity of naringin-loaded nanoliposomes (LipoN) were characterized. Then, the effect of embedding LipoN in the GelMA matrix were characterized by studying the release behavior, swelling ratio, and hydrophilic character, as well as the rheological and mechanical properties of GelMA and GelMA-LipoN functionalized hydrogels. Finally, the dispersion of nanoliposomes encapsulating a model fluorescent probe in the GelMA matrix was visualized. The formulation of naringin-loaded liposomes via an optimized procedure yielded nanosized (114 nm) negatively charged particles with a high encapsulation efficiency (~99%). Naringin-loaded nanoliposomes administration to human adipose-derived stem cells confirmed their suitable cytocompatibility. Moreover, in addition to significantly extending the release of naringin from the hydrogel, the nanoliposomes inclusion in the GelMA matrix significantly increased its elastic and compressive moduli and decreased its swelling ratio, while showing an excellent dispersion in the hydrogel network. Overall, salmon-derived nanoliposomes enabled the inclusion and controlled release of pro-osteogenic bioactive molecules, as well as improved the hydrogel matrix properties, which suggests that these soft nanoparticles can play an important role in bioengineering bioactive nanocomposites for bone tissue engineering in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed surging demand for bone repair/regeneration implants due to the increasing number of bone defects caused by trauma, cancer, infection, and arthritis worldwide. In addition to bone autografts and allografts, biomaterial substitutes have been widely used in clinical practice. Personalized implants with precise and personalized control of shape, porosity, composition, surface chemistry, and mechanical properties will greatly facilitate the regeneration of bone tissue and satiate the clinical needs. Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, also known as 3D printing, are drawing fast growing attention in the fabrication of implants or scaffolding materials due to their capability of manufacturing complex and irregularly shaped scaffolds in repairing bone defects in clinical practice. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the development of materials and techniques used in the additive manufacturing of bone scaffolds. In addition, clinical application, pre-clinical trials and future prospects of AM based bone implants are also summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Bone defects and diseases are devastating, and can lead to severe functional deficits or even permanent disability. Nevertheless, orthopedic implants and scaffolds can facilitate the growth of incipient bone and help us to treat bone defects and diseases. Currently, a wide range of biomaterials with distinct biocompatibility, biodegradability, porosity, and mechanical strength is used in bone-related research. However, most orthopedic implants and scaffolds have certain limitations and diverse complications, such as limited corrosion resistance, low cell proliferation, and bacterial adhesion. With recent advancements in materials science and nanotechnology, metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles have become the subject of significant interest as they offer an ample variety of options to resolve the existing problems in the orthopedic industry. More importantly, these nanoparticles possess unique physicochemical and mechanical properties not found in conventional materials, and can be incorporated into orthopedic implants and scaffolds to enhance their antimicrobial ability, bioactive molecular delivery, mechanical strength, osteointegration, and cell labeling and imaging. However, many metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles can also be toxic to nearby cells and tissues. This review article will discuss the applications and functions of metallic and metallic oxide nanoparticles in orthopedic implants and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The materials used in bone tissue engineering (BTE) have been advancing with each passing day. With the continuous development of nanomedicine, gold nanoparticles (GNPs), which are easy to be synthesized and functionalized, have attracted increasing attention. Recent years have witnessed this amazing material, i.e., GNPs characterized with large surface area to volume ratio, biocompatibility, medical imaging property, hypotoxicity, translocation into the cells, high reactivity, and other properties, perform distinct functions in BTE. However, the low stability of GNPs in the biotic environment makes them in the requirements of modification or recombination before being used. After being combined with the advantages of other materials, the structures of GNPs have exhibited great potential in stem cells, scaffolds, delivery systems, medical imaging, and other aspects. This review will focus on the advances in the application of GNPs after modification or recombination with other materials to BTE.

Abstract
The loss of bone tissue is a striking challenge in orthopedic surgery. Tissue engineering using various advanced biofunctional materials is considered a promising approach for the regeneration and substitution of impaired bone tissues. Recently, polymeric supportive scaffolds and biomaterials have been used to rationally promote the generation of new bone tissues. To restore the bone tissue in this context, biofunctional polymeric materials with significant mechanical robustness together with embedded materials can act as a supportive matrix for cellular proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic regeneration to replace defective tissues demands greater calcium deposits, high alkaline phosphatase activity, and profound upregulation of osteocalcin as a late osteogenic marker. Ideally, the bioactive polymeric scaffolds (BPSs) utilized for bone tissue engineering should impose no detrimental impacts and function as a carrier for the controlled delivery and release of the loaded molecules necessary for the bone tissue regeneration. In this review, we provide comprehensive insights into different synthetic and natural polymers used for the regeneration of bone tissue and discuss various technologies applied for the engineering of BPSs and their physicomechanical properties and biological effects.

Abstract
Antibacterial viscose cellulose sponges (VCSs) were fabricated by heating cellulose xanthogenate (viscose) containing HAuCl4·nH2O. Viscose was used as the reducing agent and stabilizer for the in situ synthesis of Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) onto the VCSs. The morphology, structures, thermal properties, mechanical performance, and antibacterial activities of the sponges were investigated. Results indicate that AuNPs were uniformly immobilized in the VCSs, and the resulting complexes (AuNPs@VCSs) showed enhanced thermal stability and mechanical properties. Additionally, the AuNPs@VCSs exhibited remarkable antibacterial activities, with zone of inhibition diameter of 35.7 and 37.1 mm for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. The process is simple and applicable at the industrial level and can be applied to the fields of cleaning and sanitation.

Abstract
To date, the fields of biomaterials science and tissue engineering have shown great promise in creating bioartificial tissues and organs for use in a variety of regenerative medicine applications. With the emergence of new technologies such as additive biomanufacturing and 3D bioprinting, increasingly complex tissue constructs are being fabricated to fulfill the desired patient-specific requirements. Fundamental to the further advancement of this field is the design and development of imaging modalities that can enable visualization of the bioengineered constructs following implantation, at adequate spatial and temporal resolution and high penetration depths. These in vivo tracking techniques should introduce minimum toxicity, disruption, and destruction to treated tissues, while generating clinically relevant signal-to-noise ratios. This article reviews the imaging techniques that are currently being adopted in both research and clinical studies to track tissue engineering scaffolds in vivo, with special attention to 3D bioprinted tissue constructs.
