Abstract
The absence of a conducive bone formation microenvironment between fractured ends poses a significant challenge in repairing large bone defects. A promising solution is to construct a bone formation microenvironment that mimics natural bone tissue. Biomimetic mineralized collagen possesses a chemical composition and microstructure highly similar to the natural bone matrix, making it an ideal biomimetic bone substitute material. The microstructure of biomimetic mineralized collagen is influenced by various factors, and its biomineralization and microstructure, in turn, affect its physicochemical properties and biological activity. We aimed to utilize mineralization time and solution concentration as variables and employed the polymer-induced liquid precursor strategy to fabricate mineralized collagen with diverse microstructures, to shed light on how mineralization parameters impact the material microstructure and physicochemical properties. We also investigated the influence of microstructure and physicochemical properties on cell biocompatibility and the bone-forming microenvironment. Through comprehensive characterization, we examined the physical and chemical properties of I-EMC under various mineralization conditions and assessed the in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility and osteogenic performance. By investigating the relationship between mineralization parameters, material physicochemical properties, and osteogenic performance, we revealed how microstructures influence cellular behaviors like biocompatibility and osteogenic microenvironment. Encouragingly, mineralization solutions with varying concentrations, stabilized by polyacrylic acid, successfully produced intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralized collagen. Compared to non-mineralized collagen, all mineralized samples demonstrated improved bone-forming performance. Notably, samples prepared with a 1× mineralization solution exhibited relatively smooth surfaces with even mineralization. Extending the mineralization time enhanced the degree of mineralization and osteogenic performance. Conversely, samples prepared with a 2× mineralization solution had rough surfaces with large calcium phosphate particles, indicating non-uniform mineralization. Overall, our research advances the potential for commercial production of mineralized collagen protein products, characterized by dual biomimetic properties, and their application in treating various types of bone defects.

Abstract
The critical challenges in repairing oral soft and hard tissue defects are infection control and the recovery of functions. Compared to conventional tissue regeneration methods, nano-bioactive materials have become the optimal materials with excellent physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Dental-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DMSCs) are a particular type of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) with great potential in tissue regeneration and differentiation. This paper presents a review of the application of various nano-bioactive materials for the induction of differentiation of DMSCs in oral and maxillofacial restorations in recent years, outlining the characteristics of DMSCs, detailing the biological regulatory effects of various nano-materials on stem cells and summarizing the material-induced differentiation of DMSCs into multiple types of tissue-induced regeneration strategies. Nanomaterials are different and complementary to each other. These studies are helpful for the development of new nanoscientific research technology and the clinical transformation of tissue reconstruction technology and provide a theoretical basis for the application of nanomaterial-modified dental implants. We extensively searched for papers related to tissue engineering bioactive constructs based on MSCs and nanomaterials in the databases of PubMed, Medline, and Google Scholar, using keywords such as "mesenchymal stem cells", "nanotechnology", "biomaterials", "dentistry" and "tissue regeneration". From 2013 to 2023, we selected approximately 150 articles that align with our philosophy.

Abstract
Osteochondral (OC) repair is an extremely challenging topic due to the complex biphasic structure and poor intrinsic regenerative capability of natural osteochondral tissue. In contrast to the current surgical approaches which yield only short-term relief of symptoms, tissue engineering strategy has been shown more promising outcomes in treating OC defects since its emergence in the 1990s. In particular, the use of multizonal scaffolds (MZSs) that mimic the gradient transitions, from cartilage surface to the subchondral bone with either continuous or discontinuous compositions, structures, and properties of natural OC tissue, has been gaining momentum in recent years. Scrutinizing the latest developments in the field, this review offers a comprehensive summary of recent advances, current hurdles, and future perspectives of OC repair, particularly the use of MZSs including bilayered, trilayered, multilayered, and gradient scaffolds, by bringing together onerous demands of architecture designs, material selections, manufacturing techniques as well as the choices of growth factors and cells, each of which possesses its unique challenges and opportunities.

Abstract
Mineralized collagen (MC) is the basic unit of bone structure and function and is the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in bone tissue. In the biomimetic method, MC with different nanostructures of neo-bone have been constructed. Among these, extra-fibrous MC has been approved by regulatory agencies and applied in clinical practice to play an active role in bone defect repair. However, in the complex microenvironment of bone defects, such as in blood supply disorders and infections, MC is unable to effectively perform its pro-osteogenic activities and needs to be functionalized to include osteogenesis and the enhancement of angiogenesis, anti-infection, and immunomodulation. This article aimed to discuss the preparation and biological performance of MC with different nanostructures in detail, and summarize its functionalization strategy. Then we describe the recent advances in the osteo-inductive properties and multifunctional coordination of MC. Finally, the latest research progress of functionalized biomimetic MC, along with the development challenges and future trends, are discussed. This paper provides a theoretical basis and advanced design philosophy for bone tissue engineering in different bone microenvironments.

[PMID: 36478479 DOI: 10.1002/chem.202203166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
There is an endogenous electric field in living organisms, which plays a vital role in the development and regeneration of bone tissue. Therefore, self-powered piezoelectric material for bone repair has become hot research in recent years. However, the current piezoelectric materials for tissue regeneration still have the shortcomings of lack of biological activity and three-dimensional structure. Here, we proposed a three-dimensional polyurethane foam (PUF) scaffold coated with piezoelectric poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and modified by a calcium phosphate (CaP) mineralized coating. The preferred scaffold has an open circuit voltage and short circuit current output of 5 V and 200 nA. Combining the physical and chemical properties of the CaP coating, the piezoelectric signal of PVDF-HFP and the three-dimensional structure of PUF, the scaffold exhibits superior promotion of cell osteogenic differentiation and ectopic bone formation in vivo. The mechanism is attributed to an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in response to chemical and piezoelectric stimulation with the material. This research not only paves the way for the application of piezoelectric scaffolds to stimulate osteoblasts differentiation in situ, but also lays the foundation for the clinical treatment of long-term osteoporosis.

The Localized Ionic Microenvironment in Bone Modelling/Remodelling: A Potential Guide for the Design of Biomaterials for Bone Tissue Engineering. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14020056.

Abstract
Bone is capable of adjusting size, shape, and quality to maintain its strength, toughness, and stiffness and to meet different needs of the body through continuous remodeling. The balance of bone homeostasis is orchestrated by interactions among different types of cells (mainly osteoblasts and osteoclasts), extracellular matrix, the surrounding biological milieus, and waste products from cell metabolisms. Inorganic ions liberated into the localized microenvironment during bone matrix degradation not only form apatite crystals as components or enter blood circulation to meet other bodily needs but also alter cellular activities as molecular modulators. The osteoinductive potential of inorganic motifs of bone has been gradually understood since the last century. Still, few have considered the naturally generated ionic microenvironment's biological roles in bone remodeling. It is believed that a better understanding of the naturally balanced ionic microenvironment during bone remodeling can facilitate future biomaterial design for bone tissue engineering in terms of the modulatory roles of the ionic environment in the regenerative process.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to obtain and characterize composite biomaterials containing two components, namely carbonated hydroxyapatite, which was substituted with Mg2+ and Zn2+ ions, and natural polymer-collagen protein. The following two different types of collagen were used: lyophilized powder of telocollagen from bovine Achilles tendon and atelocollagen solution from bovine dermis. The obtained 3D materials were used as potential matrices for the targeted delivery of tranexamic acid for potential use in wound healing after tooth extractions. Tranexamic acid (TXA) was introduced into composites by two different methods. The physicochemical analyses of the obtained composites included Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), release kinetics tests, swelling test, and cytotoxicity assays. The studies showed that the proposed synthetic methods yielded biomaterials with favorable physicochemical properties, as well as the expected release profile of the drug and ions from the matrices.

Abstract
Mineralized collagen has been introduced as a promising barrier membrane material for guided bone regeneration (GBR) due to its biomimetic nanostructure. Immune interaction between materials and host significantly influences the outcome of GBR. However, current barrier membranes are insufficient for clinical application due to limited mechanical or osteoimmunomodulatory properties. In this study, we fabricated hierarchical intrafibrillarly mineralized collagen (HIMC) membrane, comparing with collagen (COL) and extrafibrillarly mineralized collagen (EMC) membranes, HIMC membrane exhibited preferable physicochemical properties by mimicking the nanostructure of natural bone. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) seeded on HIMC membrane showed superior proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation capacity. HIMC membrane induced CD206+Arg-1+ M2 macrophage polarization, which in turn promoted more BMSCs migration. In rat skull defects, HIMC membrane promoted the regeneration of new bone with more bone mass and more mature bone architecture. The expression levels of Runx2 and osterix and CD68 + CD206 + M2 macrophage polarization were significantly enhanced. HIMC membrane provides an appropriate osteoimmune microenvironment to promote GBR and represents a promising material for further clinical application.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to develop an orthopedic implant coating in the form of vancomycin-loaded collagen/hydroxyapatite layers (COLHA+V) that combine the ability to prevent bone infection with the ability to promote enhanced osseointegration. The ability to prevent bone infection was investigated employing a rat model that simulated the clinically relevant implant-related introduction of bacterial contamination to the bone during a surgical procedure using a clinical isolate of Staphylococcus epidermidis. The ability to enhance osseointegration was investigated employing a model of a minipig with terminated growth. Six weeks following implantation, the infected rat femurs treated with the implants without vancomycin (COLHA+S. epidermidis) exhibited the obvious destruction of cortical bone as evinced via a cortical bone porosity of up to 20% greater than that of the infected rat femurs treated with the implants containing vancomycin (COLHA+V+S. epidermidis) (3%) and the non-infected rat femurs (COLHA+V) (2%). The alteration of the bone structure of the infected COLHA+S. epidermidis group was further demonstrated by a 3% decrease in the average Ca/P molar ratio of the bone mineral. Finally, the determination of the concentration of vancomycin released into the blood stream indicated a negligible systemic load. Six months following implantation in the pigs, the quantified ratio of new bone indicated an improvement in osseointegration, with a two-fold bone ingrowth on the COLHA (47%) and COLHA+V (52%) compared to the control implants without a COLHA layer (27%). Therefore, it can be concluded that COLHA+V layers are able to significantly prevent the destruction of bone structure related to bacterial infection with a minimal systemic load and, simultaneously, enhance the rate of osseointegration.

Abstract
Successful regeneration of large segmental bone defects remains a major challenge in clinical orthopedics, thus it is of important significance to fabricate a suitable alternative material to stimulate bone regeneration. Due to their excellent biocompatibility, sufficient mechanical strength, and similar structure and composition of natural bone, the mineralized collagen scaffolds (MCSs) have been increasingly used as bone substitutes via tissue engineering approaches. Herein, we thoroughly summarize the state of the art of MCSs as tissue-engineered scaffolds for acceleration of bone repair, including their fabrication methods, critical factors for osteogenesis regulation, current opportunities and challenges in the future. First, the current fabrication methods for MCSs, mainly including direct mineral composite, in-situ mineralization and 3D printing techniques, have been proposed to improve their biomimetic physical structures in this review. Meanwhile, three aspects of physical (mechanics and morphology), biological (cells and growth factors) and chemical (composition and cross-linking) cues are described as the critical factors for regulating the osteogenic feature of MCSs. Finally, the opportunities and challenges associated with MCSs as bone tissue-engineered scaffolds are also discussed to point out the future directions for building the next generation of MCSs that should be endowed with satisfactorily mimetic structures and appropriately biological characters for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The use of polymer additives that stabilize fluidic amorphous calcium phosphate is key to obtaining intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen in vitro. On the other hand, this biomimetic approach inhibits the nucleation of mineral crystals in unconfined extrafibrillar spaces, that is, extrafibrillar mineralization. The extrafibrillar mineral content is a significant feature to replicate from hard connective tissues such as bone and dentin as it contributes to the final microarchitecture and mechanical stiffness of the biomineral composite. Herein, we report a straightforward route to produce densely mineralized collagenous composites via a surface-directed process devoid of the aid of polymer additives. Simulated body fluid (1×) is employed as a biomimetic crystallizing medium, following a preloading procedure on the collagen surface to quickly generate the amorphous precursor species required to initiate matrix mineralization. This approach consistently leads to the formation of extrafibrillar bioactive minerals in bulk collagen scaffolds, which may offer an advantage in the production of osteoconductive collagen-apatite materials for tissue engineering and repair purposes.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) reinforced collagen fibrils serve as the basic building blocks of natural bone and dentin. Mineralization of collagen fibrils play an essential role in ensuring the structural and mechanical functionalities of hard tissues such as bone and dentin. Biomineralization of collagen can be divided into intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralization in terms of HA distribution relative to collagen fibrils. Intrafibrillar mineralization is termed when HA minerals are incorporated within the gap zone of collagen fibrils, while extrafibrillar mineralization refers to the minerals that are formed on the surface of collagen fibrils. However, the mechanisms resulting in these two types of mineralization still remain debatable. In this review, the evolution of both classical and non-classical biomineralization theories is summarized. Different intrafibrillar mineralization mechanisms, including polymer induced liquid precursor (PILP), capillary action, electrostatic attraction, size exclusion, Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium, and interfacial energy guided theories, are discussed. Exemplary strategies to induce biomimetic intrafibrillar mineralization using non-collagenous proteins (NCPs), polymer analogs, small molecules, and fluidic shear stress are discussed, and recent applications of mineralized collagen fibers for bone regeneration and dentin repair are included. Finally, conclusions are drawn on these proposed mechanisms, and the future trend of collagen-based materials for bone regeneration and tooth repair is speculated.

Abstract
Surface modification techniques are often used to enhance the properties of Ti-based materials as hard-tissue replacements. While the microstructure of the coating and the quality of the interface between the substrate and coating are essential to evaluate the reliability and applicability of the surface modification. In this study, both a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating and a collagen-hydroxyapatite (Col-HA) composite coating were deposited onto a Ti-6Al-4V substrate using a biomimetic coating process. Importantly, a gradient cross-sectional structure with a porous coating toward the surface, while a dense layer adjacent to the interface between the coating and substrate was observed in three-dimensional (3D) from both the HA and Col-HA coatings via a dual-beam focused ion beam-scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM). Moreover, the pore distributions within the entire coatings were reconstructed in 3D using Avizo, and the pores size distributions along the coating depth were calculated using RStudio. By evaluating the mechanical property and biocompatibility of these materials and closely observing the cross-sectional cell-coating-substrate interfaces using FIB-SEM, it was revealed that the porous surface created by both coatings well supports osteoblast cell adhesion while the dense inner layer facilitates a good bonding between the coating and the substrate. Although the mechanical property of the coating decreased with the addition of collagen, it is still strong enough for implant handling and the biocompatibility was promoted.

Abstract
Despite tremendous attention is given to the construction of biomimetic cementum for regeneration of tooth cementum, the lack of recapitulating the composition and hierarchical structure of cementum often leads to the poor performance of constructed materials. How to highly mimic the sophisticated composition and hierarchy of cementum remains a longstanding challenge in constructing the biomimetic cementum. Inspired by cementum formation process, a novel construction approach via a combination of bioskiving and fluorine-containing biomineralization is developed in this study. The alternative collagen lamellae (ACL) that can highly mimic the rotated plywood structure of cementum collagen matrix is fabricated via bioskiving. Followed by biomineralization in the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) solution with different concentration of fluorine, a series of biomimetic cementum is constructed. Screened by physicochemical characterization, the biomimetic cementum with the composition and hierarchical structure highly similar to human cementum is selected. Through in vitro biological assay, this biomimetic cementum is proven to significantly promote the adhesion, proliferation, and cementogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs). Furthermore, in vivo study demonstrates that biomimetic cementum could induce cementogenesis. This biomimetic cementum constructed via combinatory application of bioskiving and fluorine-containing biomineralization stands as a promising candidate for achieving cementum regeneration.

Abstract
Bone-mimetic scaffolds are receiving much interest as such scaffolds exhibit excellent biocompatibility and very close mimic to bone structure and composition. Here, novel bone-mimetic nanohydroxyapatite (nHA)/collagen (Col) porous scaffolds (nHA/Col) were prepared from surface silanized mesoporous nanobioglass (NBG)/Col hybrid scaffold by biomimetic mineralization. Surface silanized mesoporous NBG was prepared by ultrasound-assisted sol-gel method and post treatment with 3-aminopropyltriethylsilane (APTS). The surface silanized mesoporous NBG was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), transmission electron microscopy-selected area electron diffraction (TEM-SAED) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The physicochemical/mechanical characterizations of the scaffolds included scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and TEM imaging of micro/nanostructure, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of chemical composition, TEM-SAED and X-ray diffraction/Attenuated total Reflectance-Fourier Infrared spectroscopy (XRD/ATR-FTIR) analyses of amorphous-to-crystalline transformations, thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetric (TGA/DSC) analyses of thermal behaviour , porosity and dynamic mechanical analyses. The presence of NBG in collagen fibrillar network enabled progressive growth of HA nanocrystals and generation of a novel bone-mimetic hybrid structures while preserving the highly porous structure of collagen scaffold. The crystallinity, crystallite size and crystal morphology of the grown HA nanocrystals were controllable by regulation of the mineralization time. Furthermore, the osteogenic properties of the non-mineralized (NBG/Col) and mineralized (nHA/Col) hybrid porous scaffolds were examined in vivo using critical-sized calvarial bone defect model in rat. Histological and micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) analyses after 6 weeks of implantation revealed that the mineralized scaffolds possess excellent in vivo osteogenic potential compared to the non-mineralized one. Collectively, by using surface silanized mesoporous NBG hybridization with collagen fibrillar network, we successfully introduced a new approach for developing novel bone-mimetic nanohydroxyapatite/collagen hybrid scaffolds that possess significant potential for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the promoting effects of biomimetic intrafibrillarly mineralized collagen (IMC) bone scaffold material on the osseointegration of a titanium implant simultaneously grafted into a critical-sized bone defect as well as the underlying mechanisms involved. MATERIALS AND METHODS A critical-sized bone defect was created in the rat femur, and a titanium (Ti) implant surrounded by IMC or extrafibrillarly mineralized collagen (EMC) bone scaffold material was placed in the defect. A blank group and a natural bone group were included as controls. Osseointegration was assessed by micro-computed tomographic, histological, and biochemical evaluations at 12 weeks postoperatively. Microarray technology was applied for transcriptional profile analysis at days 7 and 14 postoperatively. RESULTS Significant bone regeneration and osseointegration were observed in the IMC and EMC groups according to μ-CT and histological analyses. The bone volume (BV)/total volume (TV) fraction, bone-to-implant contact percentage, and bone area percentage as well as ultimate shear strength and maximal pull-out force were all significantly higher in the IMC group than in the EMC group (all p < 0.05). Transcriptional analysis revealed overexpression of genes mainly associated with cell proliferation, immuno-inflammatory response, skeletogenesis, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and skeletogenesis-related pathways during the early process of osseointegration in the IMC group. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that IMC placed simultaneously with a Ti implant may be a promising strategy in jawbone defect reconstruction. Several candidate genes that were found to be differentially expressed in the IMC group may be responsible for the superior osseointegration effects in this model.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of biomimetic intrafibrillar mineralized collagen (IMC) bone scaffold materials on bone regeneration and the underlying biological mechanisms. Materials and methods A critical-sized bone defect in the rat femur was created; then IMC, extrafibrillar mineralized collagen, and nano-hydroxyapatite bone scaffold materials were grafted into the defect. Ten weeks after implantation, micro-computed tomography and histology were applied to evaluate the bone regeneration. Furthermore, microarray technology was applied for transcriptional profile analysis at two postoperative time points (7 and 14 days). Subsequently, the critical genes involved in bone regeneration identified by transcriptional analysis were verified both in vivo through immunohistochemical analysis and in vitro by quantitative real-time transcription polymerase chain reaction evaluation. Results Significantly increased new bone formation was found in the IMC group based on micro-computed tomography and histological evaluation (P<0.05). Transcriptional analysis revealed that the early process of IMC-guided bone regeneration involves the overexpression of genes mainly associated with inflammation, immune response, skeletal development, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and the Wnt signaling pathway. The roles of the Wnt signaling pathway-related factors Wnt5a, β-catenin, and Axin2 were further confirmed both in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion The IMC bone scaffold materials significantly enhanced bone regeneration via activation of the Wnt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Biomimetic mineralization of collagen fibrils is an essential process because the mineralized collagen fibers constitute the basic building block of natural bone. To overcome the limited availability and high cost of the noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) that regulate the mineralization process of collagen, commercially available analogues were developed to replicate sequestration and templating functions of NCPs. The use of branched polymers in intrafibrillar mineralization applications has never been explored. In this work, two novel carboxyl-rich brushlike polymers, a carboxylated polyethylene glycol terpolymer (PEG-COOH) and a polyethylene glycol/poly(acrylic acid) copolymer (PEG-PAA), were synthesized and modified to mimic the sequestration function of NCPs to induce intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen fibrils. It was found that these synthetic brushlike polymers are able to induce intrafibrillar mineralization by stabilizing the amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoprecursors and subsequently facilitating the infiltration of ACP into the gap zone of collagen microfibrils. Moreover, the weight ratios of mineral to collagen in the mineralized collagen fibrils in the presence of these brushlike polymers were 2.17 ± 0.07 for PEG-COOH and 2.23 ± 0.03 for PEG-PAA, while it is only 1.81 ± 0.21 for linear PAA. Plausible mineralization mechanisms using brushlike polymers are proposed that offer significant insight into the understanding of collagen mineralization induced by synthetic NCP analogues.

Abstract
Inspired by nature, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and other polyelectrolytes have been used as noncollagenous proteins (NCPs) surrogates for biomimetic intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen fibrils and thus, to model the ultrastructure of bone, to study the mechanism of bone mineralization and, more scarcely to fabricate scaffolds for hard tissue engineering. The objective of this study was to systematically investigate the effect of the molecular weight (MW) and the concentration of PAA on the rate and pattern of biomineralization of collagen matrices. Densified type I collagen films were mineralized in supersaturated PAA-stabilized amorphous calcium-phosphate (PAA-ACP) solutions containing increasing MW (2 kDa, 50 kDA, 450 kDa) and concentrations (10, 25, 50 mg/L) of PAA up to 7 days. The stability and physical properties of collagen-free PAA-ACP solutions were also investigated. In our system, lowering PAA MW and increasing PAA concentration resulted in solutions with increasing stability. Over stable PAA-ACP solutions that fully inhibited mineralization of the collagen matrices were achieved using PAA 2k-50. Conversely, unstable solutions were obtained using high PAA MW at low concentrations. Nucleation and growth of significant amount of extrafibrillar minerals on the collagen fibrils was obtained using these solutions. In a wide range of combined MW and concentration of PAA we obtained intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen with hydroxyapatite crystals aligned parallel to the collagen fibril as in natural tissues. Intrafibrillar mineralization was correlated with PAA-ACP stability and growth of the PAA-ACP particles in solution. Our results support using PAA to surrogate NCPs function as selective inhibitors or promoters of biological mineralization and provide parameters to manufacture new biomimetic scaffolds and constructs for bone and dentin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been widely used in the design of drug delivery platforms. This work computationally explores the vascular dynamics of nanoworms as drug carriers within blood flow by considering the effects of nanoworm length, stiffness, and local physiological conditions such as hematocrit. We found that nanoworms with length of 8 μm and moderate stiffness are the optimal choice as drug carriers for circulating within normal vascular network due to their lower near wall margination. Compared to those of spherical rigid particles, these nanoworms demonstrate significant demargination behaviors at hematocrit 20%, induced by the local hydrodynamic interactions. Specifically, the interactions between nanoworms and red blood cells create asymmetrical local flow fields, resulting in the demargination of nanoworms. In addition, the flexibility of nanoworms enables them to conform to the deformed shape of red blood cells under shear flow, leading to their high concentration within the core region of vessels. Therefore, the long blood circulation time of nanoworms can be partially attributed to their demargination behaviors and intertwinement with red blood cells. According to these simulation results, tuning the length and stiffness of nanoworms is the key to design drug carries with reduced near wall margination within normal vascular networks and extend their blood circulation time.

Abstract
Calvarial defects are common reconstructive dilemmas secondary to a variety of etiologies including traumatic brain injury, cerebrovascular disease, oncologic resection, and congenital anomalies. Reconstruction of the calvarium is generally undertaken for the purposes of cerebral protection, contour restoration for psychosocial well-being, and normalization of neurological dysfunction frequently found in patients with massive cranial defects. Current methods for reconstruction using autologous grafts, allogeneic grafts, or alloplastic materials have significant drawbacks that are unique to each material. The combination of wide medical relevance and the need for a better clinical solution render defects of the cranial skeleton an ideal target for development of regenerative strategies focused on calvarial bone. With the improved understanding of the instructive properties of tissue-specific extracellular matrices and the advent of precise nanoscale modulation in materials science, strategies in regenerative medicine have shifted in paradigm. Previously considered to be simple carriers of stem cells and growth factors, increasing evidence exists for differential materials directing lineage specific differentiation of progenitor cells and tissue regeneration. In this work, we review the clinical challenges for calvarial reconstruction, the anatomy and physiology of bone, and extracellular matrix-inspired, collagen-based materials that have been tested for in vivo cranial defect healing.
