Abstract
Infected wounds present a significant clinical challenge, exacerbated by antibiotic resistance, which complicates effective treatment. This study introduces a hydrogel (CC/AP@CM) embedded with core-shell bioactive glass nanoparticles designed for the controlled, sequential release of copper (Cu2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. The hydrogel is crosslinked via a Schiff base reaction, endowing it with injectable, self-healing, and adhesive properties. Notably, the bilayer structure of the bioactive glass within the hydrogel allows an initial release of Cu2+ ions to trigger an early-stage pro-inflammatory and antimicrobial response, followed by Mg2+ ions that support tissue repair and an anti-inflammatory environment. This design aligns with natural wound healing stages, promoting a shift in macrophage polarization from the M1 to M2 phenotype, effectively balancing antibacterial defense with tissue regeneration. The hydrogel demonstrated robust antibacterial efficacy against MRSA, increased angiogenesis, and enhanced fibroblast proliferation and migration in vitro. In a murine wound model, it significantly accelerated wound closure and immune activation, including responses from dendritic cells and T cells. These findings suggest that this hydrogel, through its stage-specific immunomodulatory properties and temporally controlled ion release, offers a promising strategy for treating complex wound infections, supporting both immune defense and tissue healing.

Abstract
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), characterized by a comparable elastic modulus to human bone with high wear resistance, radiolucency, and biocompatibility, demonstrates considerable promise for clinical applications. However, due to the significant limitations in clinical applications caused by the biological inertness of PEEK, it should first be modified to meet clinical needs. Currently, the field of PEEK modifications is rapidly advancing, with a particular emphasis on enhancing its biological properties. Most of the previous reviews have separately discussed strategies like antibacterial, osteogenic, and angiogenic enhancements for PEEK. This review combines cross-domain insights to update and synthesize recent research on PEEK composites, focusing on advanced multi-component sustained release platforms that mimic postoperative biological processes. Such temporal alignment between material functionality and physiological healing phases demonstrates unprecedented potential for expanding PEEK's clinical versatility.

Abstract
Addressing bone tissue defects is a critical challenge in clinical practice, necessitating the development of biomaterials that can orchestrate both immune modulation and tissue regeneration. This study introduces and assesses the immunomodulatory effects and bone repair capabilities of a novel 3D-printed scaffold composed of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), nanohydroxyapatite, and melanin nanoparticles (GHM). The GHM scaffolds, characterized by their optimal porosity, viscosity, and mechanical strength, have been shown to effectively direct macrophage polarization from the initial M0 state to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Concurrently, osteogenic precursor cell lines MC3T3 are stimulated to differentiate into osteoblasts under the influence of macrophage-conditioned medium. In vivo studies using normal mice cranial defect models and macrophage-depleted cranial defect models have demonstrated that GHM scaffolds can attract macrophages to the implantation site, promote their M2 polarization, and consequently, significantly enhance bone formation and effectively treat cranial defects in mice. RNA-sequencing analysis has revealed elevated expression of the Leukemia inhibitory factor (Lif) gene in macrophages treated with GHM, implicating its role in regulating macrophage polarization. These findings underscore the potential of GHM scaffolds as an immunomodulatory biomaterial for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Biomedical implants are extensively utilized to replace hard-tissue defects owing to their biocompatibility and remarkable tissue-affinity. The materials and functional design are selected based on the resultant osseointegration level and resistance to infection, and these considerations constitute the dominant research topic in this field. However, high rates of implantation failure and peri-implantitis have been reported. Current research on biomedical-implant design encompasses enhancement of the implant surface properties, such as the roughness, nano/micro topography, and hydrophilicity, along with the realization of advanced features including antibacterial properties and cell and immunomodulation regulation. This review considers the two achievements of contemporary implant manufacturing; namely, osseointegration and the realization of antibacterial properties. Present mainstream surface modifications and coatings are discussed, along with functional design technologies and achievements. The impacts of direct surface-treatment techniques and osteogenic functional coatings on osseointegration performance and antibacterial surface structures are elucidated, considering inorganic and organic coatings with antibacterial properties as well as antibiotic-releasing coatings. Furthermore, this review highlights recent advancements in physically driven antimicrobial strategies. Expanding upon existing research, future directions for implant studies are proposed, including the realization of comprehensive functionality that integrates osseointegration and antibacterial properties, as well as patient-specific design. Our study presents a comprehensive review and offers a novel perspective on the design of biomedical implants for enhanced versatility. An in-depth exploration of future research directions will also stimulate subsequent investigations.

Abstract
This study explored a novel modification method for porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants using a biomimetic coating to achieve synergistic enhancement of vascularization and bone regeneration. Inspired by the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) structure (consists of growth factors and matrix proteins), a biomimetic dual-factor coating capable of releasing bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and fibronectin (FN) was coated on the surface of 3D-printed porous PEEK scaffolds using polydopamine (PDA) as a binder. Experiments conducted with MC3T3-E1 cells or HUVECs in co-culture with scaffolds revealed that the biomimetic coating not only synergically promoted cell migration, adhesion and proliferation, but also enhanced angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation simultaneously in vivo. The synergistic effect is attributed to the crosstalks between intracellular signaling pathways of FN and BMP-2, as well as the sustained release on account of their combination mitigates explosive release and degradation of BMP-2. Overall, this study designed a novel biomimetic coating modified PEEK scaffolds and confirmed the synergistic mechanism of the scaffolds on osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis for the first time. These insights have significant implications for the clinical transformation of PEEK dental implants.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incorporation of trace elements such as strontium (Sr) and copper (Cu) in the composition of mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) is widely known to enhance its biological functionality for bone tissue regeneration METHODS: Two MBG powders with the composition 80SiO2-11CaO-5P2O5-xCuO/SrO, one doped with 4 mol.% of CuO, the second with 4 mol.% of SrO were blended in the weight ratios of Cu-MBG: Sr-MBG; 100:0, 70: 30, 50: 50, 30: 70 and 0:100 aiming at minimizing Cu to minimize the cytotoxicity of Cu while preserving its antimicrobial activity. The synergistic effects of Sr and Cu ions on bioactivity, cytotoxicity, and antimicrobial activity were studied. RESULTS Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) examination of Cu-MBG and Sr-MBG showed fringes related to the development of a mesoporous structure. The specific surface area values of the Cu-MBG and Sr-MBG powders were 287 and 349 m2/g, respectively. A characteristic compact layer consisting of particles with platelet-like morphology commonly associated with HAp crystals was confirmed after 7 days soaking in simulated body fluid (SBF). Mouse preosteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) exhibited higher cell viability when exposed to a 1 % w/v eluate from blended Cu-MBG powders compared to pure Cu-MBG. Notably, the Cu-MBG: Sr-MBG ratio of 30:70 exhibited cell viability of around 85 % at this concentration. A higher cell viability (above 100 %) towards MC3T3-E1 cells was observed for all powders when tested with the 0.1 % w/v eluate. With progressive increase in the amount of Cu-MBG in the blended system the bacterial inhibitory effects were more pronounced. The Cu ions released from Cu-MBG generate hydroxyl ions and increase the pH leading to disruption of the cellular membrane of microbes, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity. CONCLUSION This newly developed blended system composed of Cu and Sr doped MBGs is expected to be more effective as bioactive filler in comparison to single ion doped MBGs for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Since the diseases that cause bone defects are mostly inflammatory diseases, the current bone grafts are unable to effectively regulate osteoimmune activity, leading to the impaired osteogenesis and unfavorable bone regeneration. In this study, inspired by bone composition, biomimetic mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticle (MBG)/bovine serum albumin (BSA) bone grafts are designed for inflammatory bone defects. Systematically, MBG/BSA bone grafts are evaluated for characterization, bioactivity, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant activity, and osteogenic activity. MBG/BSA bone grafts are proved to be biocompatible and can release bioactive ions including calcium and silicon in a sustained manner. Furthermore, MBG/BSA reprograms the macrophage phenotype toward anti-inflammation that is beneficial for bone regeneration. The antioxidative activity is also validated under inflammation and the mechanism may be via the interleukin-4 (IL-4)/Signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) pathway. The osteogenic differentiation and mineralization are also facilitated due to the improved immunoregulation of MBG/BSA. Overall, this work suggests that the MBG/BSA bone grafts with improved immunomodulatory properties are an ideal material for inflammatory bone regeneration application.

Abstract
Failure of orthopedic implants due to localized bacterial infections, inflammation and insufficient blood supply is always problematic. In this study, strontium-doped titanium dioxide nanotubes (STN) were firstly prepared on titanium surface, and then lactoferrin (LF) was loaded into strontium-doped nanotubes (STN) by the phase transition method, eventually the LF/TCEP-STN composite coating was successfully prepared. With the innate antimicrobial properties of LF, LF/TCEP-STN was effected against E. coli and S. aureus. Cellular assays showed that RAW264.7 (immune), HUVEC (angiogenic) and MC3T3-E1 (osteogenic) exhibited good adhesion and proliferative activity on the surface of LF/TCEP-STN. At the molecular level, LF/TCEP-STN modulated RAW264.7 polarization toward M2-type while promoting MC3T3-E1 differentiation toward osteogenesis. Meanwhile LF/TCEP-STN coating effectively promoted angiogenesis. The results of the bone defect model with or without infection demonstrated that the LF/TCEP-STN material had good anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and vascularization-promoting osteogenesis. In addition, LF/TCEP-STN offered excellent blood compatibility and biosafety. As a multifunctional coating on implant surfaces, the study's results highlighted the viability of LF/TCEP-STN and offered fresh concepts for the clinical design of next-generation artificial bone implants with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and osteogenic properties.

Abstract
Infected bone defect is a formidable clinical challenge. Conventional approaches to prevention and treatment for infected bone defects are unsatisfactory. The key elements of the treatment are bone defect reconstruction, anti-infection, and osteogenesis. Conventional treatment methods remain unsatisfactory owing to the absence of composite integrating materials with anti-infective, and osteogenic activities as well as proper mechanical strength at the same time. In this study, we fabricated a vancomycin-encapsulated hydrogel with bacteria-responsive release properties combined with a shaved porous (submicron-micron) three-dimensional-printed Ti6Al4V implant. The implant surface, modified with submicron-sized pores through microarc oxidation (MAO), showed enhanced osteogenic activity and integrated well with the hydrogel drug release system, enabling sustained vancomycin release. In vitro experiments underscored the commendable antibacterial ability, biosafety, and osteoinductive potential. Effective antibacterial and osteogenic abilities of the implant were further demonstrated in vivo in infected rabbit bone defects. These results showed that the vancomycin-encapsulated hydrogel-loaded microarc-oxidized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V can repair the infected bone defects with satisfactory anti-infection and osseointegration effects.

Abstract
Ferroptosis, an iron-ion-dependent process of lipid peroxidation, damages the plasma membrane, leading to non-programmed cell death. Osteoarthritis (OA), a prevalent chronic degenerative joint disease among middle-aged and older adults, is characterized by chondrocyte damage or loss. Emerging evidence indicates that chondrocyte ferroptosis plays a role in OA development. However, most research has concentrated on ferroptosis regulation involving typical iron ions, potentially neglecting the significance of elevated copper ions in both serum and joint fluid of patients with OA. This review aims to fill this gap by systematically examining the interplay between copper metabolism, oxidative stress, ferroptosis, and copper-associated cell death in OA. It will provide a comprehensive overview of copper ions' role in regulating ferroptosis and their dual role in OA. This approach seeks to offer new insights for further research, prevention, and treatment of OA.

Abstract
With the increasing aging population, the demand for orthopedic implants is also growing. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is considered a promising material for orthopedic implants due to its excellent biocompatibility. However, the lack of bioactivity and excessive immune response post-implantation often impair bone integration. Therefore, it is urgent to bio-functionalize PEEK-based implants to promote bone integration. This study employs a simple, economical, and feasible method to coat Ga-ion doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (Ga-MBGs) onto sulfonated PEEK surfaces, constructing a multifunctional PEEK-based orthopedic implant. The resulting bio-functionalized PEEK implants promote macrophage M2 phenotype polarization, thus fostering an anti-inflammatory immune microenvironment. Moreover, the direct osteogenic effect of Ga ions and the immuno-osteogenic effect through promoting macrophage M2 polarization enhance osteogenic differentiation potential in vitro and bone integration in vivo. A sequence of in vivo and in vitro experiments substantiates the essential and intricate function of this innovative orthopedic implants. in regulating normal bone immunity and metabolism. Overall, the application of Ga-MBGs provides a simple, economical, and effective method for developing multifunctional orthopedic implants. This surface bio-functionalized PEEK implant, capable of modulating immunity and bone metabolism, holds significant clinical application potential as an orthopedic implant.

Abstract
With the graying of the world's population, the morbidity of age-related chronic degenerative bone diseases, such as osteoporosis and osteoarthritis, is increasing yearly, leading to an increased risk of bone defects, while current treatment methods face many problems, such as shortage of grafts and an incomplete repair. Therefore, bone tissue engineering offers an alternative solution for regenerating and repairing bone tissues by constructing bioactive scaffolds with porous structures that provide mechanical support to damaged bone tissue while promoting angiogenesis and cell adhesion, proliferation, and activity. 3D printing technology has become the primary scaffold manufacturing method due to its ability to precisely control the internal pore structure and complex spatial shape of bone scaffolds. In contrast, the fast development of nanotechnology has provided more possibilities for the internal structure and biological function of scaffolds. This review focuses on the application of 3D printing technology in bone tissue engineering and nanotechnology in the field of bone tissue regeneration and repair, and explores the prospects for the integration of the two technologies.

Abstract
PURPOSE/AIM OF THE STUDY To summarize and discuss macrophage properties and their roles and mechanisms in the process of osseointegration in a comprehensive manner, and to provide theoretical support and research direction for future implant surface modification efforts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Based on relevant high-quality articles, this article reviews the role of macrophages in various stages of osseointegration and methods of implant modification. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS Macrophages not only promote osseointegration through immunomodulation, but also secrete a variety of cytokines, which play a key role in the angiogenic and osteogenic phases of osseointegration. There is no "good" or "bad" difference between the M1 and M2 phenotypes of macrophages, but their timely presence and sequential switching play a crucial role in implant osseointegration. In the implant surface modification strategy, the induction of sequential activation of the M1 and M2 phenotypes of macrophages is a brighter prospect for implant surface modification than inducing the polarization of macrophages to the M1 or M2 phenotypes individually, which is a promising pathway to enhance the effect of osseointegration and increase the success rate of implant surgery.

Abstract
Implant-associated infection (IAI) is an unsolved problem in orthopaedics. Current therapies, including antibiotics and surgical debridement, can lead severe clinical and financial burdens on patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to reinforce the inherent antibacterial properties of implants. Recently, two-dimensional (2D) silicene nanosheets (SNs) have gained increasing attention in biomedical fields owing to their considerable biocompatibility, biodegradability and strong photothermal-conversion performance. Herein, a dual-functional photosensitive coating on a Ti substrate (denoted as TPSNs) was rationally fabricated for bacterial inhibition and osteogenesis promotion. For the first time, SNs were loaded onto the surface of implants. Hyperthermia generated by the SNs and polydopamine (PDA) coating under 808 nm laser irradiation achieved the in vitro anti-bacterial efficiency of 90.7 ± 2.4 % for S. aureus and 88.0 ± 5.8 % for E. coli, respectively. In addition, TPSNs exhibited promising biocompatibility for the promotion of BMSC (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells) proliferation and spreading. The presence of silicon (Si) in TPSNs contributed to the improved osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, elevating the expressions of RUNX2 and OCN. In animal experiments, the combination of TPSNs with photothermal therapy (PTT) achieved an anti-bacterial efficiency of 89.2 % ± 1.6 % against S. aureus. Furthermore, TPSNs significantly improved bone-implant osseointegration in vivo. Overall, the development of a dual-functional TPSNs coating provides a new strategy for combating IAI.

Abstract
Introduction: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material implants have been applied more and more clinically recently. In order to increase the osteogenic activity of PEEK material, the microstructure change of the material surface and the construction of functional microcoatings have become a hot research topic. This study investigated the ability of PEEK surfaces modified by different methods to carry Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and the osteogenic ability of different PEEK microstructures after carrying PRP in vivo/in vitro. Methods: In this study, PEEK surfaces were modified by sulfuric acid, gaseous sulfur trioxide and sandpaper. Next, PRP from SD rats was prepared and incubated on PEEK material with different surface microstructures. Lactate dehydrogenase test, scanning electron microscope and Elisa assay was used to evaluate adhesion efficiency of PRP. Then in vitro tests such as CCK-8, ALP staining, ARS staining and RT-qPCR et al were used to further evaluate osteogenesis ability of the PRP coating on PEEK surface. Finally, The tibia defects of SD rats were established, and the new bone was evaluated by Micro-CT, HE staining, and immunofluorescence staining. Results: The sandpaper-polished PEEK with the strongest PRP carrying capacity showed the best osteogenesis. Our study found that the modified PEEK surface with PRP coating has excellent osteogenic ability and provided the basis for the interface selection of PRP for the further application of PEEK materials. Discussion: Among the three PEEK modified surfaces, due to the most PRP carrying and the strongest osteogenic ability in vitro/vivo, the frosted surface was considered to be the most suitable surface for the preparation of PRP coating.
