Abstract
Limited bone regeneration, uncontrollable degradation rate, mismatched defect zone and poor operability have plagued the reconstruction of irregular bone defect by tissue-engineered materials. A combination of biomimetic scaffolds with hydroxyapatite has gained great popularity in promoting bone regeneration. Therefore, we designed an injectable, photocurable and in-situ curing hydrogel by methacrylic anhydride -modified carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-MA) loading with spherical hydroxyapatite (HA) to highly simulate the natural bony matrix and match any shape of damaged tissue. The prepared carboxymethyl cellulose-methacrylate/ hydroxyapatite(CMC-MA/HA) composite presented good rheological behavior, swelling ratio and mechanical property under light illumination. Meanwhile, this composite hydrogel promoted effectively proliferation, supported adhesion and upregulated the osteogenic-related genes expression of MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro, as well as the activity of the osteogenic critical protein, Integrin α1, β1, Myosin 9, Myosin 10, BMP-2 and Smad 1 in Integrin/BMP-2 signal pathway. Together, the composite hydrogels realized promotion of bone regeneration, deformity improvement, and the enhanced new bone strength in skull defect. It also displayed a good histocompatibility and stability of subcutaneous implantation in vivo. Overall, this study laid the groundwork for future research into developing a novel biomaterial and a minimally invasive therapeutic strategies for reconstructing bone defects and contour deficiencies.

Abstract
Exploring affordable and easily prepared inorganic-organic hybrid membrane materials has attracted a great interest in the bone repair field. This study is based on biomimetic mineralization technique to study the role of phosvitin (PV) in the mineralized process of eggshell inner membrane. Results showed that PV promoted the formation of hydroxyapatite on the eggshell inner membrane surface, and the phosvitin content in the simulated body fluid was decreased during the mineralization process. Besides, in vitro preosteoblast experiments indicated that mineralized membrane with PV exhibited more conducive to cell proliferation and differentiation than that mineralized membrane without PV. Interestingly, with the increase of mineralization time, the stimulating ability of mineralized membranes with PV on adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen type I content gradually improved. In summary, the eggshell inner membrane composites mineralized with PV obtained by biomimetic mineralization might be potential scaffold materials for bone repair.

Abstract
The effect of various cleaning methods on coating morphology and their effectiveness in removing organic contaminants has been studied in this research. Bioactive coatings containing titanium oxides and hydroxyapatite (HAP) were obtained through plasma electrolytic oxidation in aqueous electrolytes and molten salts. The cleaning procedure for the coated surface was performed using autoclave (A), ultraviolet light (UV), radio frequency (RF), air plasma (P), and UV-ozone cleaner (O). The samples were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with an EDS detector, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray phase analysis (XRD), and contact angle (CA) measurements. The conducted studies revealed that the samples obtained from molten salt exhibited a finer crystalline structure morphology (275 nm) compared to those obtained from aqueous electrolytes (350 nm). After applying surface cleaning methods, the carbon content decreased from 5.21 at.% to 0.11 at.% (XPS), which directly corresponds to a reduction in organic contaminations and a decrease in the contact angle as follows: A > UV > P > O. This holds true for both coatings obtained in molten salt (25.3° > 19.5° > 10.5° > 7.5°) and coatings obtained in aqueous electrolytes (35.2° > 28.3° > 26.1° > 16.6°). The most effective and moderate cleaning method is ozone treatment.

Abstract
Integrin-mediated osteoblast adhesion to adsorbed extracellular ligands on orthopedic implants is crucial for the subsequent osteoblast behaviors and ultimate osseointegration. Considerable research efforts have focused on the development of implant surfaces that promote the adsorption of extracellular ligands, but ignored the fact that integrin binding to ligands requires divalent cations (such as Mn2+). Here, three kinds of Mn-doped nanowire-structured TiO2 coatings with 1.9, 3.9, and 8.8 wt% dopant contents (Mn1-, Mn2-, and Mn3-TiO2) were synthesized on Ti implants to enhance integrin-mediated osteoblastic responses. The Mg-doped and undoped TiO2 nanocoatings served as the control. Mn element was not only successfully incorporated into the TiO2 matrix, but also formed an oxygen-deficient Mn oxide on the nanowire surface. Although the adsorbed fibronectin (Fn) amount on Mn-doped nanocoatings and its unfolded status were slightly attenuated with increasing Mn amount, the interaction between the coating extract and Fn demonstrated a Mn2+-induced unfolding of Fn with the exposure of the RGD motif. Compared to the Mn1-, Mn2- and Mg-doped TiO2 nanocoatings, the Mn3-TiO2 nanocoating significantly upregulated the expression of integrin α5β1 probably through increasing the ligand-binding affinity of the integrin rather than integrin binding sites in Fn. Consistent with the activation trend of integrin α5β1, the Mn3-TiO2 nanocoating enhanced cell adhesion with the long stretched structure of actin fibers and extensive formation of vinculin focal adhesion spots and upregulated the levels of alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin activities. Therefore, Mn supplementation of orthopedic implants may be a promising way to improve osteogenesis at the implant surface.

Abstract
Bacterial infection associated with bone grafts is one of the major challenges that can lead to implant failure. Treatment of these infections is a costly endeavor; therefore, an ideal bone scaffold should merge both biocompatibility and antibacterial activity. Antibiotic-impregnated scaffolds may prevent bacterial colonization but exacerbate the global antibiotic resistance problem. Recent approaches combined scaffolds with metal ions that have antimicrobial properties. In our study, a unique strontium/zinc (Sr/Zn) co-doped nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) and Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) -(PLGA) composite scaffold was fabricated using a chemical precipitation method with different ratios of Sr/Zn ions (1%, 2.5%, and 4%). The scaffolds’ antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated by counting bacterial colony-forming unit (CFU) numbers after direct contact with the scaffolds. The results showed a dose-dependent reduction in CFU numbers as the Zn concentration increased, with 4% Zn showing the best antibacterial properties of all the Zn-containing scaffolds. PLGA incorporation in Sr/Zn-nHAp did not affect the Zn antibacterial activity and the 4% Sr/Zn-nHAp-PLGA scaffold showed a 99.7% bacterial growth inhibition. MTT (3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) cell viability assay showed that Sr/Zn co-doping supported osteoblast cell proliferation with no apparent cytotoxicity and the highest doping percentage in the 4% Sr/Zn-nHAp-PLGA was found to be ideal for cell growth. In conclusion, these findings demonstrate the potential for a 4% Sr/Zn-nHAp-PLGA scaffold with enhanced antibacterial activity and cytocompatibility as a suitable candidate for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Recent applications of decellularized tissues include the ectopic use of sheets and powders for three-dimensional (3D) tissue reconstruction. Decellularized tissues are modified (or fabricated) with the desired functions for application to the target (transplanted or used) tissue, including soft-hard interregional tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and periodontal ligaments. This study aimed to prepare a mineralized decellularized pericardium to construct a soft-hard interregional tissue by 3D fabrication of decellularized pericardium, for example, rolling up to a cylindrical form. The decellularized pericardial tissue was prepared using the high hydrostatic pressurization (HHP) and surfactants method. The pericardium consisted of bundles of aligned fibers, and the bundles were slightly disordered when prepared with the surfactant decellularization method compared with that prepared using the HHP decellularization method. Mineralization of the decellularized pericardium was performed using an alternate soaking process with various cycles. The surface of the decellularized pericardium was covered with calcium phosphate precipitates, which accumulated on the surface with an increasing number of soaking cycles. The inside of the HHP decellularized pericardium was mineralized uniformly, whereas the mineralization of the decellularized pericardium decreased toward the interior. These findings suggest that the decellularization method strongly affects the structure and mineralized parts of the decellularized pericardium. The mineralized decellularized pericardium could be a candidate material for reconstructing alternative interregional tissues, such as ligaments and tendons.

Abstract
The present study interrogates the interaction of highly efficient antibacterial surfaces containing sharp nanostructures with blood proteins and the subsequent immunological consequences, processes that are of key importance for the fate of every implantable biomaterial. Studies with human serum and plasma pointed to significant differences in the composition of the protein corona that formed on control and nanostructured surfaces. Quantitative analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry demonstrated that the nanostructured surface attracted more vitronectin and less complement proteins compared to the untreated control. In turn, the protein corona composition modulated the adhesion and cytokine expression by immune cells. Monocytes produced lower amounts of pro-inflammatory cytokines and expressed more anti-inflammatory factors on the nanostructured surface. Studies using an in vivo subcutaneous mouse model showed reduced fibrous capsule thickness which could be a consequence of the attenuated inflammatory response. The results from this work suggest that antibacterial surface modification with sharp spike-like nanostructures may not only lead to the reduction of inflammation but also more favorable foreign body response and enhanced healing, processes that are beneficial for most medical devices implanted in patients.

Abstract
Bone-related diseases caused by trauma, infection, and aging affect people’s health and quality of life. The prevalence of bone-related diseases has been increasing yearly in recent years. Mild bone diseases can still be treated with conservative drugs and can be cured confidently. However, serious bone injuries caused by large-scale trauma, fractures, bone tumors, and other diseases are challenging to heal on their own. Open surgery must be used for intervention. The treatment method also faces the problems of a long cycle, high cost, and serious side effects. Studies have found that hydrogels have attracted much attention due to their good biocompatibility and biodegradability and show great potential in treating bone-related diseases. This paper mainly introduces the properties and preparation methods of hydrogels, reviews the application of hydrogels in bone-related diseases (including bone defects, bone fracture, cartilage injuries, and osteosarcoma) in recent years. We also put forward suggestions according to the current development status, pointing out a new direction for developing high-performance hydrogels more suitable for bone-related diseases.

Abstract
Fabrication of a hydrogel scaffold for full-thickness osteochondral defect repair remains a grand challenge. Developing layered and multiphasic hydrogels to mimic the intrinsic hierarchical structure of the osteochondral unit is a promising strategy. Chitosan-based hydrogels are widely applied for biomedical applications. However, insufficient mechanical strength and lack of biological cues to restore damaged cartilage and subchondral tissue significantly hinder their application in osteochondral tissue engineering. In this study, a strong and tough, osteochondral-mimicking functional chitosan-based hydrogel (bilayer-gel) with an in situ mineralized, osteoconductive lower layer and a basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-incorporated, chondrogenic inducing upper layer was developed. The obtained bilayer-gel showed a depth-dependent gradient pore structure and composition. The strong double crosslinked hydrogel network and the homogeneous deposition of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAp) at the lower layer provided a compressive strength of up to 2.5 MPa and a compressive strain of up to 40%. In vitro study showed that the bilayer-gel facilitates both chondrogenic differentiation in the upper layer and osteogenic differentiation in the lower layer. In vivo implantation revealed that the bilayer-gel could simultaneously promote hyaline cartilage and subchondral bone formation, thus resulting in an improved osteochondral reconstruction outcome. The present bilayer-gel thus shows great potential for full-thickness osteochondral defect repair.

Abstract
Titanium implants have been widely applied in dentistry and orthopedics due to their biocompatibility and resistance to mechanical fatigue. TiO2 nanotube arrays (TiO2 NTAs) on titanium implant surfaces have exhibited excellent biocompatibility, bioactivity, and adjustability, which can significantly promote osseointegration and participate in its entire path. In this review, to give a comprehensive understanding of the osseointegration process, four stages have been divided according to pivotal biological processes, including protein adsorption, inflammatory cell adhesion/inflammatory response, additional relevant cell adhesion and angiogenesis/osteogenesis. The impact of TiO2 NTAs on osseointegration is clarified in detail from the four stages. The nanotubular layer can manipulate the quantity, the species and the conformation of adsorbed protein. For inflammatory cells adhesion and inflammatory response, TiO2 NTAs improve macrophage adhesion on the surface and induce M2-polarization. TiO2 NTAs also facilitate the repairment-related cells adhesion and filopodia formation for additional relevant cells adhesion. In the angiogenesis and osteogenesis stage, TiO2 NTAs show the ability to induce osteogenic differentiation and the potential for blood vessel formation. In the end, we propose the multi-dimensional regulation of TiO2 NTAs on titanium implants to achieve highly efficient manipulation of osseointegration, which may provide views on the rational design and development of titanium implants.

Hydroxyapatite Use in Spine Surgery—Molecular and Clinical Aspect. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15082906. [PMID: 35454598 PMCID: PMC9030649 DOI: 10.3390/ma15082906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2021] [Revised: 04/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Hydroxyapatite possesses desirable properties as a scaffold in tissue engineering: it is biocompatible at a site of implantation, and it is degradable to non-toxic products. Moreover, its porosity enables infiltration of cells, nutrients and waste products. The outcome of hydroxyapatite implantation highly depends on the extent of the host immune response. Authors emphasise major roles of the chemical, morphological and physical properties of the surface of biomaterial used. A number of techniques have been applied to transform the theoretical osteoconductive features of HAp into spinal fusion systems—from integration of HAp with autograft to synthetic intervertebral implants. The most popular uses of HAp in spine surgery include implants (ACDF), bone grafts in posterolateral lumbar fusion and transpedicular screws coating. In the past, autologous bone graft has been used as an intervertebral cage in ACDF. Due to the morbidity related to autograft harvesting from the iliac bone, a synthetic cage with osteoconductive material such as hydroxyapatite seems to be a good alternative. Regarding posterolateral lumbar fusion, it requires the graft to induce new bone growth and reinforce fusion between the vertebrae. Hydroxyapatite formulations have shown good results in that field. Moreover, the HAp coating has proven to be an efficient method of increasing screw fixation strength. It can decrease the risk of complications such as screw loosening after pedicle screw fixation in osteoporotic patients. The purpose of this literature review is to describe in vivo reaction to HAp implants and to summarise its current application in spine surgery.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate, for the first time, implantable, biodegradable fiducial markers (FMs), which were designed for bimodal, near-infrared fluorescence-based (NIRF) and X-ray-based imaging. The developed FMs had poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone)-based core-shell structures made of radiopaque (core) and fluorescent (shell) composites with a poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone) matrix. The approved for human use contrast agents were utilized as fillers. Indocyanine green was applied to the shell material, whereas in the core materials, iohexol and barium sulfate were compared. Moreover, the possibility of tailoring the stability of the properties of the core materials by the addition of hydroxyapatite (HAp) was examined. The performed in situ (porcine tissue) and in vivo experiment (rat model) confirmed that the developed FMs possessed pronounced contrasting properties in NIRF and X-ray imaging. The presence of HAp improved the radiopacity of FMs at the initial state. It was also proved that, in iohexol-containing FMs, the presence of HAp slightly decreased the stability of contrasting properties, while in BaSO4-containing ones, changes were less pronounced. A comprehensive material analysis explaining the differences in the stability of the contrasting properties was also presented. The tissue response around the FMs with composite cores was comparable to that of the FMs with a pristine polymeric core. The developed composite FMs did not cause serious adverse effects on the surrounding tissues even when irradiated in vivo. The developed FMs ensured good visibility for NIRF image-supported tumor surgery and the following X-ray image-guided radiotherapy. Moreover, this study replenishes a scanty report regarding similar biodegradable composite materials with a high potential for application.

J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2021; 110:157-175.

Abstract
The aim of the present systematic review was to analyse studies using inorganic implant coatings and, in a meta‐analysis, the effect of specifically tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) implant surface coatings on bone formation according to the PRISMA criteria. Inclusion criteria were the comparison to rough surfaced titanium implants in large animal studies at different time points of healing. Forty studies met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Fifteen of these analyzed the bone‐to‐implant contact (BIC) around the most investigated inorganic titanium implant coatings, namely TCP and HA, and were included in the meta‐analysis. The results of the TCP group show after 14 days a BIC being 3.48% points lower compared with the reference surface. This difference in BIC decreases to 0.85% points after 21–28 days. After 42–84 days, the difference in BIC of 13.79% points is in favor of the TCP‐coatings. However, the results are not statistically significant, in part due to the fact that the variability between the studies increased over time. The results of the HA group show a significant difference in mean BIC of 6.94% points after 14 days in favor of the reference surface. After 21–28 days and 42–84 days the difference in BIC is slightly in favor of the test group with 1.53% points and 1.57% points, respectively, lacking significance. In large animals, there does not seem to be much effect of TCP‐coated or HA‐coated implants over uncoated rough titanium implants in the short term.

Abstract
Proper immune responses are critical for successful biomaterial implantation. Here, four scales of honeycomb-like TiO2 structures were custom made on titanium (Ti) substrates to investigate cellular behaviors of RAW 264.7 macrophages and their immunomodulation on osteogenesis. We found that the reduced scale of honeycomb-like TiO2 structures could significantly activate the anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype (M2), in which the 90-nanometer sample induced the highest expression level of CD206, interleukin-4, and interleukin-10 and released the highest amount of bone morphogenetic protein-2 among other scales. Afterward, the resulting immune microenvironment favorably triggered osteogenic differentiation of murine mesenchymal stem cells in vitro and subsequent implant-to-bone osteointegration in vivo. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis revealed that the minimal scale of TiO2 honeycomb-like structure (90 nanometers) facilitated macrophage filopodia formation and up-regulated the Rho family of guanosine triphosphatases (RhoA, Rac1, and CDC42), which reinforced the polarization of macrophages through the activation of the RhoA/Rho-associated protein kinase signaling pathway.

Abstract
Titanium has been used in various biomedical applications; however, titanium exhibits poor wear resistance, and its bioinert surface slows osseointegration in vivo. In this study, directed energy deposition (DED)-based additive manufacturing (AM) was used to process hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced Ti6Al4V (Ti64) composites to improve biocompatibility and wear resistance simultaneously. Electron micrographs of the composites revealed dense microstructures where HA was observed at the β-phase grain boundaries. Hardness increased by 57% and 71% for 2 and 3 wt.% HA in Ti64 composites, respectively. XRD analysis revealed no change in the phases with the addition of HA, when compared to the control. Tribological studies displayed an increase in contact resistance (CR) due to an in situ formed HA-based tribofilm, reduction in wear rate when testing in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) with a ZrO2 counter wear ball, <1% wear ball volume loss, and suppression of cohesive shear failure of the Ti matrix. Histomorphometric analysis from a rat distal femur study revealed an increase in the osteoid surface over the bone surface (OS/BS) for 3 wt.% HA composite over the control Ti64 from 9 ± 1% to 14 ± 1%. Additionally, from push-out testing, the shear modulus was observed to increase from 17 ± 3 MPa for control Ti64 to 32 ± 5 MPa for the 3 wt.% HA composite after 5-weeks in vivo. The present study demonstrates that the addition of HA in Ti64 can simultaneously improve bone tissue-implant response and wear resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE Implants made of anodized-hydrothermally treated commercially pure titanium with a nanotopographic surface structure (SA-treated c.p.Ti) may advantageously promote contact osteogenesis during the early stages of healing. We hypothesized that utilizing SA-treated c.p.Ti with dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) might improve osteoconduction during the process of osseointegration. This in vitro study investigated the effect of initial adhesion of DPSCs to SA-treated c.p.Ti compared with conventional c.p.Ti and anodic oxide (AO) c.p.Ti. METHODS DPSCs were obtained from the mandibular incisors of Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured without osteogenic induction medium on c.p.Ti, AO c.p.Ti, and SA-treated c.p.Ti disks for up to 14 days. The morphology, proliferation, and differentiation of DPSCs were assessed by scanning electron microscopy, an MTT assay, and Alizarin Red S staining, respectively. A real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to quantify the mRNA expression of osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone sialoprotein. RESULTS On all disks, the DPSCs appeared flattened with the formation of extensions over time. The filopodium-like extensions were closely bound to the SA-treated c.p.Ti surface. The proliferation of DPSCs was not significantly different among the c.p.Ti treatments. However, DPSCs on SA-treated c.p.Ti showed the greatest mRNA levels of osteopontin, osteocalcin, and bone sialoprotein, as well as increased Alizarin Red S staining. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present in vitro study demonstrate that the surface properties of SA-treated c.p.Ti disks enhance osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs and may facilitate mineralized matrix formation on SA-treated c.p.Ti implant surfaces, which can enhance early bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bone is a specialized tissue formed by different cell types and a multiscale, complex mineralized matrix. The architecture and the surface chemistry of this microenvironment can be factors of considerable influence on cell biology, and can affect cell proliferation, commitment to differentiation, gene expression, matrix production and/or composition. It has been shown that osteoblasts encounter natural motifs in vivo, with various topographies (shapes, sizes, organization), and that cell cultures on flat surfaces do not reflect the total potential of the tissue. Therefore, studies investigating the role of topographies on cell behavior are important in order to better understand the interaction between cells and surfaces, to improve osseointegration processes in vivo between tissues and biomaterials, and to find a better topographic surface to enhance bone repair. In this review, we evaluate the main available data about surface topographies, techniques for topographies’ production, mechanical signal transduction from surfaces to cells and the impact of cell–surface interactions on osteoblasts or preosteoblasts’ behavior.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite has become an important coating material for bioimplants, following the introduction of synthetic HAp in the 1950s. The HAp coatings require controlled surface roughness/porosity, adequate corrosion resistance and need to show favorable tribological behavior. The deposition rate must be sufficiently fast and the coating technique needs to be applied at different scales on substrates having a diverse structure, composition, size, and shape. A detailed overview of dry and wet coating methods is given. The benefits of electrodeposition include controlled thickness and morphology, ability to coat a wide range of component size/shape and ease of industrial processing. Pulsed current and potential techniques have provided denser and more uniform coatings on different metallic materials/implants. The mechanism of HAp electrodeposition is considered and the effect of operational variables on deposit properties is highlighted. The most recent progress in the field is critically reviewed. Developments in mineral substituted and included particle, composite HAp coatings, including those reinforced by metallic, ceramic and polymeric particles; carbon nanotubes, modified graphenes, chitosan, and heparin, are considered in detail. Technical challenges which deserve further research are identified and a forward look in the field of the electrodeposited HAp coatings is taken.

Abstract
Osteo-odonto-keratoprostheses, incorporating dental laminate material as an
anchoring skirt around a central poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) optic, have
been used to replace the cornea for many years. However, there are many
intricacies associated with the use of autologous dental laminate material,
surgical complexity and skirt erosion. Tissue engineering approaches to bone
replacement may offer suitable alternatives in osteo-odonto-keratoprosthesis
(OOKP) surgery. In this study, a hydrogel polymer composite was investigated as
a synthetic substitute for the OOKP skirt. A novel high strength
interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel composite with nano-crystalline
hydroxyapatite (nHAp) coated poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) PLGA microspheres
was created to mimic the alveo-dental lamina by employing agarose and
poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) polymers. The incorporation of nHAp
coated PLGA microspheres into the hybrid IPN network provide a micro-environment
similar to that of skeletal tissues and improve cellular response. Agarose was
used as a first network to encapsulate keratocytes/3T3 fibroblasts and PEGDA
(6000 Da) was used as a second network with varying concentrations (20 and 40 wt
%) to produce a strong and biocompatible scaffold. An increased concentration of
either agarose or PEG-DA and incorporation of nHAp coated PLGA microspheres led
to an increase in the elastic modulus. The IPN hydrogel combinations supported
the adhesion and proliferation of both fibroblast and ocular human keratocyte
cell types during in in-vitro testing. The cells endured the
encapsulation process into the IPN and remained viable at 1 week
post-encapsulation in the presence of nHAp coated microspheres. The material did
not induce significant production of inflammatory cytokine IL-6 in comparison to
a positive control (p < 0.05) indicating non-inflammatory
potential. The nHAp encapsulated composite IPN hydrogels are mechanically
strong, cell supportive, non-inflammatory materials supporting their development
as OOKP skirt substitutes using a new approach to dental laminate biomimicry in
the OOKP skirt material.

Abstract
Ionic substituted calcium phosphate coatings (iCP) have been prepared by the electrochemical pulse current deposition technique with an alternate pulse on and off time of 5 ms onto a titanium alloy substrate. The elemental distribution and morphology of the deposited layers have been extensively studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystallinity and phase structure of iCPs have been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The corrosion characteristics and biodegradability of coatings have been determined by electrochemical measurements, recording potentiodynamic curves in a physiological solution over a long-term immersion period. The cell viability tests confirmed that the iCP coating was biocompatible, while the corrosion tests proved its biodegradable characteristic. In our paper, we compare the morphological, chemical, and biological characteristics of silver and zinc substituted calcium phosphate layers deposited by the electrochemical method.

Abstract
This study develops, for the first time, composite coatings based on silver and zinc doped hydroxyapatite in chitosan matrix (AgZnHApCs). The AgZnHApCs composite coatings were prepared by dip coating method. The hydroxyapatite (HAp), biocompatible material for regenerating and strengthening damaged bones were doped with silver and zinc ions and coated with chitosan in order to produce a uniform and homogenous coating with biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties. The stability of AgZnHApCs suspensions was evaluated by ultrasound measurements. The value of stability parameters of AgZnHApCs suspension is in good agreement with the value of bidistilled water used as reference fluid. Homogeneously dispersed solutions of AgZnHApCs were synthesized to endeavor to optimize the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of the coatings obtained at room temperature. The AgZnHApCs composite suspension and coatings were analyzed using various investigation techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenylte-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay and antimicrobial studies. The optical spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), metallographic examination and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on AgZnHApCs composite coatings were also conducted. Cell culture and MTT assays demonstrate that AgZnHApCs composite suspension and coatings have no negative effect on the cell viability and proliferation. The cell morphology was not affected in presence of AgZnHApCs composite suspension and coatings. The antimicrobial assays conducted against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Candida albicans ATCC 90029 microbial strains revealed that both the AgZnHApCs composite suspension and coatings exhibited great antimicrobial properties.

Abstract
In order to improve the strength of commercially pure Ti (CP-Ti) for oral implants, the high oxygen content Ti (HOC-Ti) was prepared via powder metallurgy. Its composition and mechanical properties were then characterized. After surface treatment by sandblasting and acid etching (SLA), the surface morphology, wettability and roughness of the HOC-Ti and CP-Ti sample were examined. In an in vitro test that followed an evaluation of the protein adsorption capacity of HOC-Ti, the mouse preosteoblast cells were inoculated onto the specimens to evaluate their biocompatibility, in comparison with those of CP-Ti. The oxygen concentration of the HOC-Ti increased to 0.62 wt%, which is higher than the 0.26 wt% of the CP-Ti, while their compositions and microstructures were very similar. The tensile and compressive yield strength of the HOC-Ti (800 MPa) was improved significantly in comparison to that of the CP-Ti (530 MPa). After surface treatment, a unique structure of micropores with a diameter of 380 nm was observed on the entire surface of the HOC-Ti that facilitates cell adhesion and proliferation. The wettability of the HOC-Ti was obviously superior (p < 0.05). The in vitro study showed that the MC3T3-E1 cells inoculated on the surface of HOC-Ti exhibited a homogeneous microstructure, and the viability was higher than that of the control group on days 4 and 7 (p < 0.05). In addition, the number and differentiation activity of cells that adhered to the surface of the HOC-Ti increased significantly on day 7 (p < 0.05). The experimental results showed that, in view of its mechanical properties and biocompatibility, HOC-Ti is superior to CP-Ti and is promising for oral implant applications.

Calcium Phosphate Based Bioactive Ceramic Layers on Implant Materials Preparation, Properties, and Biological Performance. COATINGS 2020.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate based bioactive ceramics (CPCs) can be successfully applied as implant coatings since they are chemically similar to the inorganic constituent of hard tissues (bones, teeth). Nowadays, in orthopedic surgeries, it is still common to use metallic implants. However, the biological response of the human body to these foreign materials can be adverse, causing the failure of implant materials. This disadvantage can be avoided by bioactive coatings on the surface of implants. CPCs can be prepared by different routes that provide coatings of different quality and properties. In our paper, we compared the morphological, chemical, and biological properties of CPC coatings prepared by the pulse current electrochemical method. The size and thickness of the pulse current deposited platelets largely depended on the applied parameters such as the length of ton and the current density. The decrease in the ton/toff ratio resulted in thinner, more oriented platelets, while the increase in current density caused a significant decrease in grain size. The higher pH value and the heat treatment favored the phase transformation of CPCs from monetite to hydroxyapatite. The contact angle measurements showed increased hydrophilicity of the CPC sample as well as better biocompatibility compared to the uncoated implant material.

Abstract
A simple dip coating procedure was used to prepare the magnesium doped hydroxyapatite coatings. An adapted co-precipitation method was used in order to obtain a Ca25−xMgx(PO4)6(OH)2, 25MgHAp (xMg = 0.25) suspension for preparing the coatings. The stabilities of 25MgHAp suspensions were evaluated using ultrasound measurements, zeta potential (ZP), and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) information at nanometric resolution regarding the shape and distribution of the 25MgHAp particles in suspension was obtained. The surfaces of obtained layers were evaluated using SEM and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis. The antimicrobial evaluation of 25MgHAp suspensions and coatings on various bacterial strains and fungus were realized. The present study presents important results regarding the physico-chemical and antimicrobial studies of the magnesium doped hydroxyapatite suspensions, as well as the coatings. The studies have shown that magnesium doped hydroxyapatite suspensions prepared with xMg = 0.25 presented a good stability and relevant antimicrobial properties. The coatings made using 25MgHAp suspension were homogeneous and showed remarkable antimicrobial properties. Also, it was observed that the layer realized has antimicrobial properties very close to those of the suspension. Both samples of the 25MgHAp suspensions and coatings have very good biocompatible properties.

Abstract
The thought of biodegradable organic-inorganic composites composed of natural polymer chitosan and ceramic nanoparticles (hydroxyapatite and bioglass) can be considered as a solution for hard tissue engineering. In this paper, we described a comparative assessment of chitosan-nanohydroxyapatite (CTS-nHA) and chitosan-nano-bioglass (CTS-nBG) scaffolds. The dispersion of nanoscaled hydroxyapatite (nHA) and bioglass (nBG) in chitosan remained satisfactory. The freeze-dried composite based CTS-nHA and CTS-nBG scaffolds shown porous structure. The physiochemical and morphological analysis of all samples has been performed through X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The SEM image confirmed the presence of spherically shaped nHA particles of 4.20 μm and irregularly shaped nBG particles of 6.89 μm. The TEM analysis revealed the existence of 165.52 to 255.17 nm sized nHA particles and 167.35 to 334.69 nm sized nBG particles. TEM analysis also showed the interconnected structure of CTS-nHA and CTS-nBG nanocomposites. After seven days' incubation period, the CTS-nHA and CTS-nBG scaffolds shown good mineralization behavior in simulated body fluid (SBF). The CTS-nHA scaffolds exhibited enhanced compressive strength and elastic modulus compared with the CTS-nBG sample. The cell culture experiment revealed that fabricated scaffolds had good compatibility with fibroblast cells (L929, ATCC) and MG-63 which are able to adhere, proliferate, and migrate through the porous structure. All the obtained results clearly recommend that pre-loaded hydroxyapatite and bioglass nanoparticles can enhance the apatite formation. The scaffolds with chitosan, bioglass, and hydroxyapatite have better biomechanical characteristics and allow cell growth. Therefore, these scaffolds can be perfect candidates for various hard tissue engineering applications such as bone regeneration.

Abstract
A scaffold that mimics the physicochemical structure of bone at the nanoscale level is an attractive alternative to conventional bone grafts, but its development remains a main challenge in bone tissue engineering today. This work describes the fabrication of a nanofibrous poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/carbonated hydroxyapatite (PVA/CS/CHAp) scaffold. CHAp nanoparticles were synthesized using a co-precipitation method, and nanofibrous PVA/CS/CHAp scaffolds were fabricated by electrospinning using CHAp concentrations of 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%. The physicochemical properties of the scaffolds were evaluated by SEM, XRD, FTIR, and EDS, and the mechanical properties were determined by tensile strength tests. Swelling behavior, protein adsorption onto the scaffold surfaces, surface biomineralization, and cells viability were also evaluated in vitro. The addition of CHAp to the composite decreased the fiber diameter from ∼160 nm at 0 wt% to ∼139 nm at 15 wt% and great agglomerations were evident at 20 wt%. XRD, FTIR, and EDS showed effective incorporation of CHAp into the nanofibrous structure. This CHAp incorporation significantly increased the modulus of the scaffold at PVA/CS/CHAp 15 wt%, with an average 103.86 MPa, but tensile strength was not significantly altered. However, the elongation at break was decreased as the CHAp concentration increased. Swelling capacity of scaffold increases due to CHAp addition. Protein adsorption onto the scaffold increased 2.3fold at 20 wt% when compared to 0 wt%. The PVA/CS/CHAp 15 wt% showed a better bioactivity when compared to PVA/CS/CHAp 0 wt% after immersion of the scaffolds in a simulated body fluid solution for 7 days. Cell viability and cell morphology results reveal that PVA/CS/CHAp able to facilitate osteoblast cells to attach and proliferate. Introducing higher CHAp into the scaffold could increase the cell viability of the scaffold. PVA/CS/CHAp has potential to serve as an alternative scaffold material for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Chitosan fibers were processed using the Net-Shape-Nonwoven (NSN) technique in order to create porous scaffolds which were functionalized in two bioinspired ways: collagen type I coating and unique mineralization with organically modified hydroxyapatite (ormoHAP). While collagen is common to enhance cell attachment on surfaces, the electric-field assisted migration and deposition of ormoHAP on the surface of the NSN-scaffolds is a novel technique which enables sub-micrometer sized mineralization while maintaining the original pore structure. Microscopy revealed fast attachment and morphological adaptation of the cells on both, the pure and the functionalized NSN-scaffolds. Remarkably, the cell number of osteogenically induced hBMSC on ormoHAP-modified NSN-scaffolds increased 3.5-5 fold compared to pure NSN-scaffolds. Osteogenic differentiation of hBMSC/osteoblasts was highest on collagen-functionalized NSN-scaffolds. RT-PCR studies revealed gene expression of ALP, BSP II, and osteocalcin to be high for all NSN-scaffolds. Overall, the NSN-scaffold functionalization with collagen and ormoHAP improved attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of hBMSC and therefore revealed the remarkable potential of their application for the tissue engineering of bone.

Addition of an oligoglutamate domain to bone morphogenic protein 2 confers binding to hydroxyapatite materials and induces osteoblastic signaling. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0217766.

Abstract
Nonautologous bone grafts have limited osteoinductive potential and thus there is substantial interest in reconstituting these graft materials with osteogenic factors such as bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2). However, one limitation of this approach is that BMP2 is typically weakly bound to the graft, which can lead to side effects associated with BMP2 dissemination. In the current study we added a hydroxyapatite (HA)-binding domain onto BMP2 to increase coupling to the graft surface. A sequence consisting of eight glutamate residues (E8) was inserted into the C-terminus of BMP2, and the recombinant protein (rBMP2-E8) was expressed in E. coli. Compared with rBMP2, rBMP2-E8 displayed markedly enhanced binding to HA disks and was better retained on the disks following exposure to vigorous wash steps. Furthermore, rBMP2-E8 was purified using a heparin column, and evaluated for its capacity to stimulate osteoblastic cell signaling. Treatment of SAOS2 cells with rBMP2-E8 induced SMAD 1/5 activation, confirming that the protein retains activity. Collectively these results suggest that the E8 domain serves as an effective tool for improving rBMP2 coupling to graft materials. The increased retention of rBMP2-E8 on the graft surface is expected to prolong BMP2's osteoinductive activity within the graft site, while simultaneously reducing off-target effects.

Abstract
It was recently reported that implant osseointegration is affected by surface wettability. The relationship between hydrophilicity and cell adhesion was corroborated by numerous in vivo studies. Concentrated alkali improves the biocompatibility of pure titanium. Research was conducted on the mechanism by which this treatment increases hydrophilicity. In the present study, we used atmospheric pressure plasma processing to enhance the hydrophilicity of the material surface. The aim was to assess its influences on the initial adhesion of the material to rat bone marrow and subsequent differentiation into hard tissue. Superhydrophilicity was induced on a pure titanium surface with a piezobrush, a simple, compact alternative to the conventional atmospheric pressure plasma device. No structural change was confirmed by Scanning electron microscope (SEM) or scanning probe microscopy (SPM) observation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis presented with hydroxide formation and a reduction in the C peak. A decrease in contact angle was also observed. The treated samples had higher values for in vitro bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption, rat bone marrow (RBM) cell initial adhesion, alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) activity tests, and factors related to bone differentiation than the untreated control. The present study indicated that the induction of superhydrophilicity in titanium via atmospheric pressure plasma treatment with a piezobrush affects RBM cell adhesion and bone differentiation without altering surface properties.

Abstract
Coatings based on ion-substituted calcium phosphate (Ca-P) have attracted great attention in the scientific community over the past decade for the development of biomedical applications. Among such Ca-P based structures, hydroxyapatite (HA) has shown significant influence on cell behaviors including cell proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. These cell behaviors determine the osseointegration between the implant and host bone and the biocompatibility of implants. This review presents a critical analysis on the physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering (PVDMS) technique that has been used for ion-substituted Ca-P based coatings on implants materials. The effect of PVDMS processing parameters such as discharge power, bias voltage, deposition time, substrate temperature, and post-heat treatment on the surface properties of ion-substituted Ca-P coatings is elucidated. Moreover, the advantages, short comings and future research directions of Ca-P coatings by PVDMS have been comprehensively analyzed. It is revealed that the topography and surface chemistry of amorphous HA coatings influence the cell behavior, and ion-substituted HA coatings significantly increase cell attachment but may result in a cytotoxic effect that reduces the growth of the cells attached to the coating surface areas. Meanwhile, low-crystalline HA coatings exhibit lower rates of osteogenic cell proliferation as compared to highly crystalline HA coatings developed on Ti based surfaces. PVDMS allows a close reproduction of bioapatite characteristics with high adhesion strength and substitution of therapeutic ions. It can also be used for processing nanostructured Ca-P coatings on polymeric biomaterials and biodegradable metals and alloys with enhanced corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Recent studies have utilized the physical vapor deposition magnetron sputtering (PVDMS) for the deposition of Ca-P and ion-substituted Ca-P thin film coatings on orthopedic and dental implants. This review explains the effect of PVDMS processing parameters, such as discharge power, bias voltage, deposition time, substrate temperature, and post-heat treatment, on the surface morphology and crystal structure of ion-substituted Ca-P and ion-substituted Ca-P thin coatings. It is revealed that coating thickness, surface morphology and crystal structure of ion-substituted Ca-P coatings via PVDMS directly affect the biocompatibility and cell responses of such structures. The cell responses determine the osseointegration between the implant and host bone and eventually the success of the implants.

Abstract
The design of hydrogels with adequate mechanical properties and excellent bioactivity, osteoconductivity, and capacity for osseointegration is essential to bone repair and regeneration. However, it is challenging to integrate all these properties into one bone scaffold. Herein, we developed a strong, tough, osteoconductive hydrogel by a facile one-step micellar copolymerization of acrylamide and urethacrylate dextran (Dex-U), followed by the in situ mineralization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals. We show that the soft, flexible, and hydrophobically associated polyacrylamide (PAAm) network is strengthened by the stiff crosslinked Dex-U phase, and that the mineralized HAp simultaneously improves the mechanical properties and osteoconductivity. The obtained HAp mineralized PAAm/Dex-U hydrogel (HAp-PADH) has extremely high compressive strength (6.5 MPa) and enhanced fracture resistance (over 2300 J m-2), as compared with pure PAAm hydrogels. In vitro, we show that the mineralized HAp layer promotes the adhesion and proliferation of osteoblasts, and effectively stimulates osteogenic differentiation. Through the in vivo evaluation of hydrogels in a femoral condyle defect rabbit model, we show regeneration of a highly mineralized bone tissue and direct bonding to the HAp-PADH interface. These findings confirm the excellent osteoconductivity and osseointegration ability of fabricated HAp-PADH. The present HAp-PADH, with its superior mechanical properties and excellent osteoconductivity, should have great potential for bone repair and regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We developed a strong, tough, and osteoconductive hydrogel by a facile one-step micellar copolymerization of acrylamide and urethane methacrylate dextran (Dex-U), followed by the in situ mineralization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystals. The hydrophobic micellar copolymerization and introduction of the stiff crosslinked Dex-U phase endowed the soft polyacrylamide (PAAm) network with enhanced strength and toughness. The in situ mineralized HAp nanocrystals on the hydrogels further improved the mechanical properties of the hydrogels and promoted osteogenic differentiation of cells. Mechanical tests together with in vitro and in vivo evaluations confirmed that the HAp mineralized PAAm/Dex-U hydrogel (HAp-PADH) achieved a combination of superior mechanical properties and excellent osseointegration, and thus may offer a promising candidate for bone repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the formation of nanostructure on cuttlefish bone transformed hydroxyapatite (CB-HA) porous ceramics and the effects of different nanostructures on the osteoblasts adhesion, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression. Methods The cuttlefish bone was shaped as plate with diameter of 10 mm and thickness of 2 mm, filled with water, and divided into 4 groups. The CB-HA in groups 1-4 were mixed with different phosphorous solutions and then placed in an oven at 120℃ for 24 hours. In addition, the samples in group 4 were further sintered at 1 200℃ for 3 hours to remove nanostructure as controls. The chemical composition of CB-HA were analyzed by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, and inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The physical structure was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, specific surface tester, and porosity tester. The MC3T3-E1 cells of 4th generation were co-cultured with 4 groups of CB-HA. After 1 day, the morphology of the cells was observed under scanning electron microscopy. After 1, 3, and 7 days, the cell proliferation was analyzed by MTT assay. After 7 and 14 days, the ALP expression was measured by pNPP method. Results X-ray diffraction spectrum showed that the four nanostructures of CB-HA were made of hydroxyapatite. The infrared absorption spectrum showed that the infrared absorption peak of CB-HA was consistent with hydroxyapatite. ICP showed that the ratio of calcium to phosphorus of all CB-HA was 1.68-1.76, which was consistent with hydroxyapatite. Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that the nanostructure on the surface of CB-HA in groups 1-3 were large, medium, and small cluster-like structures, respectively, and CB-HA in group 4 had no obvious nanostructure. There were significant differences in the specific surface areas between groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the porosity between groups ( P>0.05). Compared with group 4, groups 1-3 have more pores with pore size less than 50 nm. After co-cultured with osteoblasts, scanning electron microscopy observation and MTT assay showed that the cells on groups 2 and 3 adhered and proliferated better and had more ALP expression than that on groups 1 and 4 ( P<0.05). Conclusion The size of cluster-like nanostructure on the surface of CB-HA can be controlled by adjusting the concentration of ammonium ions in the phosphorous solution, and the introduction of small-sized cluster-like nanostructure on the surface of CB-HA can significantly improve the cell adhesion, proliferation, and ALP expression of the material which might be resulted from the enlarged surface area.

Abstract
Implants are exposed to a complex physiological environment that contains various organic compounds, especially proteins. The adsorption of proteins has an immense influence on the corrosion, biocompatibility and wear properties of implantable metals. Proteins engage in multiple processes that could potentially inhibit or promote metal degradation, depending on the type of proteins, their concentration and the properties of the implant material. In the bio corrosion process, proteins are denatured and transform into a film on the metal surface, inhibiting corrosion. This film is found on many retrieved artificial joints, especially on worn areas, and can protect the passive film from scrapping due to its lubricating effect, thus decreasing tribocorroion. On the other hand, the interactions of metal ions with proteins (and amino acids) create colloidal organometallic complexes. Transport of the complex compounds away from the interface increases dissolution rates; thus, it accelerates the corrosion of metallic implants. The influence of protein adsorption on the corrosion behaviour of metallic biomaterials is presented in this review. Biocompatible metals that are favourably used as implants such as stainless steel, Co-Cr alloys, Ti alloys and biodegradable Mg and Fe alloys are specifically addressed. We have highlighted the adsorption phenomenon of protein on metallic implants, the interaction of proteins with metallic implants and the role of protein adsorption on implant biocorrosion behaviour as well as their wear resistance.

Abstract
To fulfill the properties of membrane for guided bone tissue regeneration, chitosan (CS) and calcium phosphates were blended to produce porous hybrid membranes by lyophilization. We synthesized three different calcium phosphates: calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA), biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and β‑tricalcium phosphate (TCP) by a reverse emulsion method followed by calcination, and compared their efficacy on bone regeneration. The CDHA/CS, BCP/CS, and TCP/CS membranes had an interconnected pore structure with porosity of 91-95% and pore size of 102-147 μm. These hybrid membranes could promote the permeability and adhesiveness to bone cells as demonstrated by in-vitro cell culture of primary osteoblast. Particularly, the CDHA/CS and BCP/CS could further increase the cell attachment and differentiation, whereas the BCP/CS and TCP/CS could enhance cell proliferation. Finally, these hybrid membranes were assessed for guided bone regeneration in the critical-size calvarial bone defects created in SD rats. Histological and histomorphometric analyses revealed that the BCP/CS membrane had the most effective bone regeneration compared to the other two hybrid membranes. At three-week post-surgery, the BCP/CS membrane could enhance new bone generation up to 57% of the original bone defect area. The BCP/CS membrane thus has the potential to be applied for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Chitosan microparticles were mixed with chitosan and carboxymethyl cellulose solution to achieve a good binding between the microparticles. Three different compositions of scaffolds were made by varying the calcium phosphate (CaP) amount: 0%, 10%, and 20%. Potassium chloride was used as salt, to make pores inside the scaffolds after leaching out when immersed in phosphate buffer saline (PBS). Compressive strength and compressive modulus of both non-porous (before leaching out), and porous (after leaching out) scaffolds were measured according to the ASTM standards. The highest compressive strength of 27 MPa was reported on 10% CaP scaffolds while 20% CaP scaffolds showed the lowest. The increasing CaP content reduces the compressive strength of the scaffolds. The highest wet state compressive strength was reported on 0% CaP scaffolds with 0.36 MPs and 0.40 MPa at day 1 and day 3 respectively. In vitro cell culture studies showed good cell adhesion and cell proliferation on 10% CaP scaffolds.

Abstract
Fiber-based scaffolds produced by textile manufacturing technology offer versatile materials for tissue engineering applications since a wide range of crucial scaffold parameters, including porosity, pore size and interconnectivity, can be accurately controlled using 3D weaving. In this study, we developed a weavable, bioactive biodegradable composite fiber from poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and hydroxyapatite powder by melt spinning. Subsequently, scaffolds of these fibers were fabricated by 3D weaving. The differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in vitro was studied on the 3D scaffolds and compared with differentiation on 2D substrates having the same material composition. Our data showed that the 3D woven scaffolds have a major impact on hMSCs proliferation and activation. The 3D architecture supports the differentiation of the hMSCs into osteoblast cells and enhances the production of mineralized bone matrix. The present study further confirms that a 3D scaffold promotes hMSCs differentiation into the osteoblast–lineage and bone mineralization.

Abstract
The precise role and value of incorporating nanoforms in biologically active matrices for medical applications is not known. In our current work, we incorporate two chitin nanoforms (i.e., nanocrystals or nanofibers) into Genipin-chitosan crosslinked matrices. These materials were studied as 2D films and 3D porous scaffolds to assess their potential as primary support and guidance for stem cells in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. The incorporation of either nanoforms in these 2D and 3D materials reveals significantly better swelling properties and robust mechanical performance in contrast to nanoform-free chitosan matrices. Furthermore, our data shows that these materials, in particular, incorporation of low concentration chitin nanoforms provide specific topological cues to guide the survival, adhesion, and proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cells. These findings demonstrate the potential of Genipin-chitosan crosslinked matrices impregnated with chitin nanoforms as value added materials for stem cell-based biomedical applications.

Abstract
The micro/nano hybrid structure is considered to be a biomaterial characteristic to stimulate osteogenesis by mimicking the three-dimensional structure of the bone matrix. However, the mechanism of the hybrid structure induced osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is still unknown. For elucidating the mechanisms, one of the challenge is to directly fabricate micro/nano hybrid structure on bioceramics because of its brittleness. In this study, hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics with the micro/nano hybrid structure were firstly fabricated via a hydrothermal treatment and template method, and the effect of the different surface structures on the expression of integrins, BMP2 signaling pathways and cell-cell communication was investigated. Interestingly, the results suggested that the osteogenic differentiation induced by micro/nano structures was modulated first through activating integrins and then further activating BMP2 signaling pathway and cell-cell communication, while activated BMP2 could in turn activate integrins and Cx43-related cell-cell communication. Furthermore, differences in activation of integrins, BMP2 signaling pathway, and gap junction-mediated cell-cell communication were observed, in which nanorod and micropattern structures activated different integrin subunits, BMP downstream receptors and Cx43. This finding may explain the synergistic effect of the micro/nano hybrid structure on the activation of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Based on our study, we concluded that the different activation mechanisms of micro- and nano-structures led to the synergistic stimulatory effect on integrin activation and osteogenesis, in which not only the direct contact of cells on micro/nano structure played an important role, but also other surface characteristics such as protein adsorption might contribute to the bioactive effect.

Abstract
Background Poor mechanical properties, undesirable fast dissolution rate, and lack of antibacterial activity limit the application of hydroxyapatite (HA) as an implant coating material. To overcome these limitations, a hybrid coating of Ag+-substituted fluorhydroxyapatite and titania nanotube (TNT) was prepared. Methods The incorporation of silver into the HA-TiO2 hybrid coating improves its antimicrobial properties. The addition of F as a second binary element increases the structural stability of the coating. The TNT/F-and-Ag-substituted HA (FAgHA) bilayer coating on the Ti substrate was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Results The results indicate that the FAgHA/TNT nanocomposite coating has a dense and uniform morphology with a nano-rod-like structure. The solubility measurement result shows that the substitution of F− ions into the AgHA structure has a positive effect on the dissolution resistance of HA. The adhesion strength of FAgHA/TNT has significantly increased because of the interlocking of the roughened surface with nano-rod-like particles that entered into the voids of the TiO2 nanotubes. Compared with that of the bare Ti, the corrosion current density of FAgHA/TNT-coated Ti substrate decreased from 3.71 to 0.18 μA, and its corrosion resistance increased by almost two orders of magnitude. Moreover, despite pure HA, the FAgHA killed all viable Staphylococcus aureus after 24 hours of incubation. Although the fabricated FAgHA/TNT coating is hydrophobic, it induced deposition of the typical spherical apatite when immersed in a simulated body fluid (SBF); the osteoblasts spread very well on the surface of the coating. In addition, in vitro cell culture tests demonstrated cell viability and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) similar to pure HA, which indicated good cytocompatibility. Interestingly, compared with bare Ti, FAgHA/TNT-coated Ti surface was innocent for cell vitality and even more beneficial for cell osteogenesis in vitro. Conclusion Enhancing the osseointegration and preventing infection in implants, the FAgHA/TNT-coated Ti makes implants more successful.

Abstract
The aim was to develop an economical and biocompatible collagen-based bioactive composite for tooth regeneration. Acid-soluble collagen was extracted and purified from fish scales. The design was innovated to molecularly tailor the surface charge sites of the nano-apatite providing chemical bonds with the collagen matrix via microwave irradiation technique. The obtained collagen was identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis. The composites were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis/differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning electron microscopy. MC3T3-E1 cell lines were used to assess the biological effects of these materials by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetra zolium bromide (MTT) assay. Indirect contact test was performed by extracting representative elutes in cell culture media and sulforhodamine B analysis was performed. Chorioallantoic membrane assay was conducted to define the new vessels formation behavior. The purity of collagen extracts was determined and showed two α-chains, i.e. the characteristic of type I collagen. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the characteristic peaks for amide I, I, III, and phosphate for collagen and composites. Scanning electron microscopy images showed three-dimensional mesh of collagen/apatite nano-fibers. Nontoxic behavior of composites was observed and there were graded and dose-related effects on experimental compounds. The angiogenesis and vessels formation behavior were observed in bioactive collagen composite. The obtained composites have potential to be used for tooth structure regeneration.

Abstract
This investigation aimed at developing micropatterned silica thin films (MSTFs) containing nanohydroxyapatite (nano-HA) microaggregates that were not completely covered by silica so that they could directly interact with the surrounding cells. The objectives were 1) to evaluate the effect of the presence of 2 films (MSTF with or without nano-HA addition) on the characteristic strength (σ0) and Weibull modulus ( m) of a yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) and 2) to evaluate the effect of these 2 films, as applied onto the Y-TZP surface, on the morphology, orientation, and proliferation of MG63 cells. Sol-gel process and soft lithography were used to apply the MSTF onto the Y-TZP specimens. Three experimental groups were produced: Y-TZP, Y-TZP + MSTF, and Y-TZP + MSTF + sprayed nano-HA. All surfaces were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and tested for 4-point flexural strength ( n = 30) in water at 37 °C. Weibull analysis was used to determine m and σ0 (maximum likelihood method). In vitro biological behavior was performed with human osteoblast-like cells (MG63). Y-TZP was successfully coated with MSFT and MSFT + nano-HA. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs indicated that the microaggregates of nano-HA were not entirely covered by the silica. There was no statistically significant difference among the experimental groups for σ0 and m. In the groups containing the films, the cells were elongated and aligned along the lines. The MSFT + nano-HA group showed significantly higher cell metabolic activity than that obtained for the Y-TZP group at day 7. This investigation was successful in producing an MSTF containing nano-HA microaggregates that remained exposed to the environment. The developed films did not jeopardize the structural reliability of a commercial Y-TZP, as confirmed by the Weibull statistics. The MG63 cells seeded over the films became elongated and aligned along the films' micropatterned lines. Y-TZP specimens coated with MSTF and nano-HA showed a higher cell metabolic activity and proliferation after 7 d of culture when compared with uncoated Y-TZP.
