Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys are widely used as hard tissue substitutes in dentistry and orthopedics, but their low bioactivity leads to undesirable osseointegration defects in the early osteogenic phase. Surface modification is an important approach to overcome these problems. In the present study, novel magnesium phosphate (MgP) coatings with controllable structures were fabricated on the surface of Ti using the phosphate chemical conversion (PCC) method. The effects of the microstructure on the physicochemical and biological properties of the coatings on Ti were researched. The results indicated that accelerators in PCC solution were important factors affecting the microstructure and properties of the MgP coatings. In addition, the coated Ti exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, high bonding strength, and good corrosion resistance. Moreover, the biological results showed that the MgP coatings could improve the spread, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mouse osteoblast cells (MC3T3-E1) and vascular differentiation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), indicating that the coated Ti samples had a great effect on promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Overall, this study provided a new research idea for the surface modification of conventional Ti to enhance osteogenesis and angiogenesis in different bone types for potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
The insufficient osteogenesis of magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) limits its biomedical application. It is of great significance to develop a bioactive MPC with osteogenic performance. In this study, an injectable MPC was reinforced by the incorporation of a near infrared (NIR)-responsive nanocontainer, which was based on simvastatin (SIM)-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) modified with a polydopamine (PDA) bilayer, named SMP. In addition, chitosan (CHI) was introduced into MPC (K-struvite) to enhance its mechanical properties and cytocompatibility. The results showed that nanocontainer-incorporated MPC possessed a prolonged setting time, almost neutral pH, excellent injectability, and enhanced compressive strength. Immersion tests indicated that SMP-CHI MPC could suppress rapid degradation. Based on its physicochemical features, the SMP-CHI MPC had good biocompatibility and osteogenesis properties, as shown via in vitro and in vivo experiments. These findings can provide a simple way to produce a multifunctional MPC with improved osteogenesis for further orthopedic applications.

Abstract
The management of critical-sized bone defects presents a formidable clinical challenge, especially given the increasing incidence of bone diseases in the aging population. Consequently, there is an increased demand for minimally invasive bone repair materials that can effectively address this challenge, particularly in outpatient settings. In this study, the goal is to develop an injectable and biodegradable biomaterial that adheres to and fills bone-defect sites to support bone regeneration. The osteogenic and angiogenic activities of animal horn peptides are investigated by incorporating them into biologically active moieties, in combination with a novel thermosensitive hydrogel. The resulting thermosensitive hydrogel exhibited essential biological functionalities, allowing precise modulation of its physical and chemical properties. Notably, the hydrogel incorporating the horn peptide rapidly filled the bone defect site, promoting both angiogenesis and bone induction. Consequently, this approach significantly accelerates new bone regeneration. In summary, the findings of this study present a promising, minimally invasive solution for addressing critical-sized bone defects.

Abstract
Addressing complex tissue infections remains a challenging task because of the lack of effective means, and the limitations of traditional bioantimicrobial materials in single-application scenarios hinder their utility for complex infection sites. Hence, the development of a bioantimicrobial material with broad applicability and potent bactericidal activity is necessary to treat such infections. In this study, a layered lithium magnesium silicate nanoclay (LMS) is used to construct a nanobactericidal platform. This platform exhibits a sandwich-like structure, which is achieved through copper ion modification using a dopamine-mediated metallophenolic network. Moreover, the nanoclay is encapsulated within gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel microspheres for the treatment of complex tissue infections. The results demonstrate that the sandwich-like micro- and nanobactericidal hydrogel microspheres effectively eradicated Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) while exhibiting excellent biocompatibility with bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Furthermore, the hydrogel microspheres upregulated the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis-related genes in these cells. In vivo experiments validated the efficacy of sandwich-like micro- and nanobactericidal hydrogel microspheres when injected into deep infected tissues, effectively eliminating bacteria and promoting robust vascular regeneration and tissue repair. Therefore, these innovative sandwich-like micro- and nanobacteriostatic hydrogel microspheres show great potential for treating complex tissue infections.

Abstract
In order to repair critical-sized bone defects, various polylactic acid-glycolic acid (PLGA)-based hybrid scaffolds are successfully developed as bone substitutes. However, the byproducts of these PLGA-based scaffolds are known to acidify the implanted site, inducing tiresome acidic inflammation. Moreover, these degradation productions cannot offer an osteo-friendly microenvironment at the implanted site, matching natural bone healing. Herein, inspired by bone microenvironment atlas of natural bone-healing process, an osteo-microenvironment stage-regulative scaffold (P80/D10/M10) is fabricated by incorporating self-developed decellularized bone matrix microparticles (DBM-MPs) and multifunctional magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles (MH-NPs) into PLGA with an optimized proportion using low-temperature rapid prototyping (LT-RP) 3D-printing technology. The cell experiments show that this P80/D10/M10 exhibits excellent properties in mechanics, biocompatibility, and biodegradability, meanwhile superior stimulations in osteo-immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Additionally, the animal experiments determined that this P80/D10/M10 can offer an osteo-friendly microenvironment in a stage-matched pattern for enhanced bone regeneration, namely, optimization of early inflammation, middle neovascularization, and later bone formation. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis suggested that the in vivo performance of P80/D10/M10 on bone defect repair is mostly attributed to regulating artery development, bone development, and bone remodeling. Overall, this study reveals that the osteo-microenvironment stage-regulative scaffold provides a promising treatment for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Scaffolds play an important role in bone tissue engineering. The ideal engineered scaffold needs to be biocompatible, bioactive, and able to regulate immune cells to enhance bone regeneration. In this study, magnesium (Mg)-contained poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds (hereinafter, referred to as PLGA-2Mg) were fabricated by 3-dimensional printing using a mixture of PLGA and MgSO 4 powder. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffolds (hereinafter, referred to as PLGA) were also fabricated by 3-dimensional printing and were used as control. The biocompatibility, immunoregulatory ability, and osteogenic properties of PLGA-2Mg were analyzed and compared with those of PLGA. The results indicate that the incorporation of Mg increased the Young modulus and surface roughness of the scaffold, but did not affect its degradation. The PLGA-2Mg further promoted the adhesion and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells compared with PLGA, which indicates its improved biocompatibility and bioactivity. In addition, PLGA-2Mg inhibited the polarization of RAW 264.7 cells toward the M1 phenotype by down-regulating the IL-1β , IL-6 , and iNOs gene expression when challenged with lipopolysaccharide stimulation. In contrast, it promoted the polarization of RAW 264.7 cells toward the M2 phenotype by up-regulating the TGF-β , IL-10 , and Arg-1 gene expression without lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Finally, MC3T3-E1 cells were cocultured with RAW 264.7 cells and scaffolds using a transwell system. It was found that the expression level of osteogenic-related genes ( ALP , COL-1 , BMP2 , and BSP ) was significantly upregulated in the PLGA-2Mg group compared with that in the PLGA group. Consequently, PLGA-2Mg with increased biocompatibility and bioactivity can promote osteogenesis through immunoregulation and has the potential to be used as a novel scaffold in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The strategies for modulating the local inflammatory microenvironment to inhibit intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) have garnered significant interest in recent years. In this study, we developed a "self-contained" injectable hydrogel capable of storing Mg2+ while carrying nucleus pulposus (NP) cells, with the aim of inhibiting IVDD through immunoregulation. The hydrogel consists of sodium alginate (SA), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), silicate ceramics (SC), and NP cells. When injected into the NP site, PNIPAAm gelates instantly under body temperature, forming an interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogel with SA. Ca2+ released from the SC can crosslink the SA in situ, forming a SA/PNIPAAm hydrogel with an interpenetrating network (IPN) encapsulating the NP cells. Moreover, inside the hydrogel, Mg2+ released from SC are effectively encapsulated and maintained at a desirable concentration. These Mg2+ facilitates the local cell matrix synthesis and promotes immunomodulation (upregulating M2 / downregulating M1 macrophage polarization), thus inhibiting the IVDD progression. The proposed hydrogel has biocompatibility and is shown to enhance the expression of collagen II (COL II) and aggrecan. The potential of the injectable hydrogel in IVD repair has also been successfully demonstrated by in vivo studies. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE.

Abstract
The ideal bone repair materials possess a series of properties, such as injectability, good mechanical properties and bone inducibility. In the present study, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and graphene oxide (GO) were selected to prepare conductive hydrogel by changing the concentration of GelMA and GO during the cross-link process. The effects of different contents of GelMA and GO to the hydrogel performance were investigated. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the hydrogel kept 16.37 ± 1.89 KPa after adding 0.1% GO, while the conductivity was improved to 1.36 ± 0.09 μS/cm. The porosity of hydrogel before and after mineralization could reach more than 90%. The mechanical properties of mineralized hydrogel was improved significantly, could reach 26.38 ± 2.29 KPa. Cell experiments indicated that the mineralized hydrogel with electrical stimulation obviously improve the alkaline phosphatase activity of the cells. GelMA/GO conductive hydrogel could be a promising candidate for bone repair and bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Treatment of large bone defects represents a great challenge in orthopedic and craniomaxillofacial surgery. Traditional strategies in bone tissue engineering have focused primarily on mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone in terms of structure and composition. However, the synergistic effects of other cues from the microenvironment during bone regeneration are often neglected. The bone microenvironment is a sophisticated system that includes physiological (e.g., neighboring cells such as macrophages), chemical (e.g., oxygen, pH), and physical factors (e.g., mechanics, acoustics) that dynamically interact with each other. Microenvironment-targeted strategies are increasingly recognized as crucial for successful bone regeneration and offer promising solutions for advancing bone tissue engineering. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current microenvironment-targeted strategies and challenges for bone regeneration and further outlines prospective directions of the approaches in construction of bone organoids.

Abstract
Different tissues have complex anisotropic structures to support biological functions. Mimicking these complex structures in vitro remains a challenge in biomaterials designs in support of tissue regeneration. Here, inspired by different types of silk nanofibers, a composite materials strategy was pursued towards this challenge. A combination of fabrication methods was utilized to achieve separate control of amorphous and beta-sheet rich silk nanofibers in the same solution. Aqueous solutions containing these two structural types of silk nanofibers were then simultaneously treated with an electric field and with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE). Under these conditions, the beta-sheet rich silk nanofibers in the mixture responded to the electric field while the amorphous nanofibers were active in the crosslinking process with the EGDE. As a result, cryogels with anisotropic structures were prepared, including mimics for cortical- and cancellous-like bone biomaterials as a complex osteoinductive niche. In vitro studies revealed that mechanical cues of the cryogels induced osteodifferentiation of stem cells while the anisotropy inside the cryogels influenced immune reactions of macrophages. These bioactive cryogels also stimulated improved bone regeneration in vivo through modulation of inflammation, angiogenesis and osteogenesis responses, suggesting an effective strategy to develop bioactive matrices with complex anisotropic structures beneficial to tissue regeneration.

Abstract
It is widely known that bone has intrinsic capacity to self-regenerate after injury. However, the physiological regeneration process can be impaired when there is an extensive damage. One of the main reasons is due to the inability to establish a new vascular network that ensures oxygen and nutrient diffusion, leading to a necrotic core and non-junction of bone. Initially, bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged to use inert biomaterials to just fill bone defects, but it eventually evolved to mimic bone extracellular matrix and even stimulate bone physiological regeneration process. In this regard, the stimulation of osteogenesis has gained a lot of attention especially in the proper stimulation of angiogenesis, being critical to achieve a successful osteogenesis for bone regeneration. Besides, the immunomodulation of a pro-inflammatory environment towards an anti-inflammatory one upon scaffold implantation has been considered another key process for a proper tissue restoration. To stimulate these phases, growth factors and cytokines have been extensively used. Nonetheless, they present some drawbacks such as low stability and safety concerns. Alternatively, the use of inorganic ions has attracted higher attention due to their higher stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects. This review will first focus in giving fundamental aspects of initial bone regeneration phases, focusing mainly on inflammatory and angiogenic ones. Then, it will describe the role of different inorganic ions in modulating the immune response upon biomaterial implantation towards a restorative environment and their ability to stimulate angiogenic response for a proper scaffold vascularization and successful bone tissue restoration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The impairment of bone tissue regeneration when there is excessive damage has led to different tissue engineered strategies to promote bone healing. Significant importance has been given in the immunomodulation towards an anti-inflammatory environment together with proper angiogenesis stimulation in order to achieve successful bone regeneration rather than stimulating only the osteogenic differentiation. Ions have been considered potential candidates to stimulate these events due to their high stability and therapeutic effects with low side effects compared to growth factors. However, up to now, no review has been published assembling all this information together, describing individual effects of ions on immunomodulation and angiogenic stimulation, as well as their multifunctionality or synergistic effects when combined together.

Abstract
To achieve osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis for repairing bone defects, we constructed an anisotropic microspheres-cryogel composite loaded with magnesium l-threonate (MgT). These composites were prepared by the photo-click reaction of norbornene-modified gelatin (GB) in the presence of MgT-loaded microspheres through the bidirectional freezing method. The composites possessed an anisotropic macroporous (around 100 μm) structure and sustained release of bioactive Mg2+, which facilitate vascular ingrowth. These composites could significantly promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, tubular formation of human umbilical vein vessel endothelial cells, and neuronal differentiation in vitro. Additionally, these composites significantly promoted early vascularization and neurogenesis as well as bone regeneration in the rat femoral condyle defects. In conclusion, owing to the anisotropic macroporous microstructure and bioactive MgT, these composites could simultaneously promote bone, blood vessel, and nerve regeneration, showing great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Incorporation of synthetic water-soluble curcumin polymeric drug within calcium phosphate cements for bone defect repairing. Mater Today Bio 2023; 20:100630.

Abstract
Modified macroporous structures and active osteogenic substances are necessary to overcome the limited bone regeneration capacity and low degradability of self-curing calcium phosphate cement (CPC). Curcumin (CUR), which possesses strong osteogenic activity and poor aqueous solubility/bioavailability, esterifies the side chains in hyaluronic acid (HA) to form a water-soluble CUR-HA macromolecule. In this study, we incorporated the CUR-HA and glucose microparticles (GMPs) into the CPC powder to fabricate the CUR-HA/GMP/CPC composite, which not only retained the good injectability and mechanical strength of bone cements, but also significantly increased the cement porosity and sustained release property of CUR-HA in vitro. CUR-HA incorporation greatly improved the differentiation ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to osteoblasts by activating the RUNX family transcription factor 2/fibroblast growth factor 18 (RUNX2/FGF18) signaling pathway, increasing the expression of osteocalcin and enhancing the alkaline phosphatase activity. In addition, in vivo implantation of CUR-HA/GMP/CPC into femoral condyle defects dramatically accelerated the degradation rate of cement and boosted local vascularization and osteopontin protein expression, and consequently promoted rapid bone regeneration. Therefore, macroporous CPC based composite cement with CUR-HA shows a remarkable ability to repair bone defects and is a promising translational application of modified CPC in clinical practice.

Abstract
Implant-associated infection is a major threat affecting the success of orthopedic surgeries. Although various materials scavenge bacteria by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS), the intrinsic inability of ROS to distinguish bacteria from cells notably limits the therapeutic effects. Here, we found that the arginine carbon dots (Arg-CDs) that were transformed from arginine exhibited supreme antibacterial and osteoinductive activity. We further designed the Schiff base bond between Arg-CDs and aldehyde hyaluronic acid/gelatin methacryloyl (HG) hydrogel to release Arg-CDs in response to the acidic bone injury microenvironment. The free Arg-CDs could selectively kill bacteria by generating excessive ROS. Furthermore, the Arg-CD-loaded HG composite hydrogel showed excellent osteoinductive activity through inducing the M2 polarization of macrophages by up-regulating interleukin-10 (Il10) expression. Together, our findings revealed that transformation of the arginine into zero-dimensional Arg-CDs could endow the material with exceptional antibacterial and osteoinductive activity, favoring the regeneration of infectious bone.

Abstract
Current bone cement systems often demand free radical or metal-related initiators and/or catalysts for the crosslinking process, which may cause serious toxicity to the human body. In addition, the resultant dense scaffolds may have a prolonged degradation time and are difficult for cells to infiltrate and form new tissue. In this study, we developed a porous "click" organic-inorganic nanohybrid (PO-click-ON) cement that crosslinks via metal-free biorthogonal click chemistry and forms porous structures mimicking the native bone tissue via particulate leaching. Strain-promoted click reaction enables fast and efficient crosslinking of polymer chains with the exclusion of any toxic initiator or catalyst. The resulting PO-click-ON implants supported exceptional in vitro stem cell adhesion and osteogenic differentiation with a large portion of stem cells infiltrated deep into the scaffolds. In vivo study using a rat cranial defect model demonstrated that the PO-click-ON system achieved outstanding cell adsorption, neovascularization, and bone formation. The porous click cement developed in this study serves as a promising platform with multifunctionality for bone and other tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone defects is a significant challenge today. As alternative approaches to the autologous bone, scaffold materials have remarkable features in treating bone defects; however, the various properties of current scaffold materials still fall short of expectations. Due to the osteogenic capability of alkaline earth metals, their application in scaffold materials has become an effective approach to improving their properties. Furthermore, numerous studies have shown that combining alkaline earth metals leads to better osteogenic properties than applying them alone. In this review, the physicochemical and physiological characteristics of alkaline earth metals are introduced, mainly focusing on their mechanisms and applications in osteogenesis, especially magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), and barium (Ba). Furthermore, this review highlights the possible cross-talk between pathways when alkaline earth metals are combined. Finally, some of the current drawbacks of scaffold materials are enumerated, such as the high corrosion rate of Mg scaffolds and defects in the mechanical properties of Ca scaffolds. Moreover, a brief perspective is also provided regarding future directions in this field. It is worth exploring that whether the levels of alkaline earth metals in newly regenerated bone differs from those in normal bone. The ideal ratio of each element in the bone tissue engineering scaffolds or the optimal concentration of each elemental ion in the created osteogenic environment still needs further exploration. The review not only summarizes the research developments in osteogenesis but also offers a direction for developing new scaffold materials.

Injectable nanofiber-reinforced bone cement with controlled biodegradability for minimally-invasive bone regeneration. Bioact Mater 2023; 21:267-283. [PMID: 36157242 PMCID: PMC9477970 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.08.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2022] [Revised: 07/27/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Injectable materials show their special merits in regeneration of damaged/degenerated bones in minimally-invasive approach. Injectable calcium phosphate bone cement (CPC) has attracted broad attention for its bioactivity, as compared to non-degradable polymethyl methacrylate cement. However, its brittleness, poor anti-washout property and uncontrollable biodegradability are the main challenges to limit its further clinical application mainly because of its stone-like dense structure and fragile inorganic-salt weakness. Herein, we developed a kind of injectable CPC bone cement with porous structure and improved robustness by incorporating poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofiber into CPC, with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to offer good injectability as well as anti-wash-out capacity. Furthermore, the introduction of PLGA and CMC also enabled a formation of initial porous structure in the cements, where PLGA nanofiber endowed the cement with a dynamically controllable biodegradability which provided room for cell movement and bone ingrowth. Interestingly, the reinforced biodegradable cement afforded a sustainable provision of Ca2+ bioactive components, together with its porous structure, to improve synergistically new bone formation and osteo-integration in vivo by using a rat model of femur condyle defect. Further study on regenerative mechanisms indicated that the good minimally-invasive bone regeneration may come from the synergistic enhanced osteogenic effect of calcium ion enrichment and the improved revascularization capacity contributed from the porosity as well as the lactic acid released from PLGA nanofiber. These results indicate the injectable bone cement with high strength, anti-washout property and controllable biodegradability is a promising candidate for bone regeneration in a minimally-invasive approach. Poly (lactide-co-glycolide) nanofiber incorporation reinforces the brittle CPC bone cement. The introduction of carboxymethyl cellulose offers good injectability and anti-washout resistance. PLGA nanofiber controllable biodegradability dynamically creates potential pores for bone formation and ingrowth. The cement continuously releases Ca2+ and lactic acid to improve bone regeneration and revascularization efficacy.

Abstract
Osteoporotic vertebral fracture is jeopardizing the health of the aged population around the world, while the hypoxia microenvironment and oxidative damage of bone defect make it difficult to perform effective tissue regeneration. The balance of oxidative stress and the coupling of vessel and bone ingrowth are critical for bone regeneration. In this study, an injectable heterogeneous silk gel scaffold which can spatiotemporally and sustainedly release bone mesenchymal stem cell-derived small extracellular vesicles, HIF-1α pathway activator, and inhibitor is developed for bone repair and vertebral reinforcement. The initial enhancement of HIF-1α upregulates the expression of VEGF to promote angiogenesis, and the balance of reactive oxygen species level is regulated to effectively eliminate oxidative damage and abnormal microenvironment. The subsequent inhibition of HIF-1α avoids the overexpression of VEGF and vascular overgrowth. Meanwhile, complex macroporous structures and suitable mechanical support can be obtained within the silk gel scaffolds, which will promote in situ bone regeneration. These findings provide a new clinical translation strategy for osteoporotic vertebral augmentation on basis of hypoxia microenvironment improvement.

Abstract
Bones are important for maintaining motor function and providing support for internal organs. Bone diseases can impose a heavy burden on individuals and society. Although bone has a certain ability to repair itself, it is often difficult to repair itself alone when faced with critical-sized defects, such as severe trauma, surgery, or tumors. There is still a heavy reliance on metal implants and autologous or allogeneic bone grafts for bone defects that are difficult to self-heal. However, these grafts still have problems that are difficult to circumvent, such as metal implants that may require secondary surgical removal, lack of bone graft donors, and immune rejection. The rapid advance in tissue engineering and a better comprehension of the physiological mechanisms of bone regeneration have led to a new focus on promoting endogenous bone self-regeneration through the use of biomaterials as the medium. Although bone regeneration involves a variety of cells and signaling factors, and these complex signaling pathways and mechanisms of interaction have not been fully understood, macrophages undoubtedly play an essential role in bone regeneration. This review summarizes the design strategies that need to be considered for biomaterials to regulate macrophage function in bone regeneration. Subsequently, this review provides an overview of therapeutic strategies for biomaterials to intervene in all stages of bone regeneration by regulating macrophages.

Abstract
Bone defects have caused immense healthcare concerns and economic burdens throughout the world. Traditional autologous allogeneic bone grafts have many drawbacks, so the emergence of bone tissue engineering brings new hope. Bone tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary biomedical engineering method that involves scaffold materials, seed cells, and "growth factors". However, the traditional construction approach is not flexible and is unable to adapt to the specific shape of the defect, causing the cells inside the bone to be unable to receive adequate nourishment. Therefore, a simple but effective solution using the "bottom-up" method is proposed. Microspheres are structures with diameters ranging from 1 to 1000 µm that can be used as supports for cell growth, either in the form of a scaffold or in the form of a drug delivery system. Herein, we address a variety of strategies for the production of microspheres, the classification of raw materials, and drug loading, as well as analyze new strategies for the use of microspheres in bone tissue engineering. We also consider new perspectives and possible directions for future development.

Electrospun naringin-loaded microsphere/sucrose acetate isobutyrate system promotes macrophage polarization toward M2 and facilitates osteoporotic bone defect repair. Regen Biomater 2023; 10:rbad006.

Abstract
Repairing osteoporotic bone defects is still a major clinical challenge. Recent studies have revealed that immune response is also essential in osteogenesis. The intrinsic inflammatory response of the host, especially the M1/M2 polarization status and inflammatory secretory function of macrophages, can directly affect osteogenic differentiation. Therefore, in this study, an electrospun naringin-loaded microspheres/sucrose acetate isobutyrate (Ng-m-SAIB) system was constructed to investigate its effect on the polarization of macrophage and osteoporotic bone defects. The results of both in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that Ng-m-SAIB had good biocompatibility and could promote the polarization of macrophage toward M2, thereby forming a favorable microenvironment for osteogenesis. The animal experiments also showed that Ng-m-SAIB could promote the osteogenesis of critical size defects in the skull of the osteoporotic model mouse (the senescence-accelerated mouse-strain P6). Together, these results collectively suggested that Ng-m-SAIB might be a promising biomaterial to treat osteoporotic bone defects with favorable osteo-immunomodulatory effects.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) has been widely studied, but its lack of osteoinductivity and inadequate mechanical properties limit its application, while strontium is able to promote bone formation and inhibit bone resorption. In this study, different proportions of tristrontium silicate were introduced to create a novel strontium-modified calcium phosphate cement (SMPC). The physicochemical properties of SMPC and CPC were compared, and the microstructures of the bone cements were characterized with scanning electron microscopy assays. Then, the effect of SMPC on cell proliferation and differentiation was examined. Furthermore, local inflammatory response and osteogenesis after SMPC implantation were also confirmed in the study. Finally, a rat model of isolated vertebral defects was used to test the biomechanical properties of the cements. The results showed that SMPC has better injectability and a shorter setting time than CPC. Meanwhile, the addition of tristrontium silicate promoted the mechanical strength of calcium phosphate cement, and the compressive strength of 5% SMPC increased to 6.00 ± 0.74 MPa. However, this promotion effect gradually diminished with an increase in tristrontium silicate, which was also found in the rat model of isolated vertebral defects. Furthermore, SMPC showed a more preferential role in promoting cell proliferation and differentiation compared to CPC. Neither SMPC nor CPC showed significant inflammatory responses in vivo. Histological staining suggested that SMPCs were significantly better than CPC in promoting new bone regeneration. Importantly, this osteogenesis effect of SMPC was positively correlated with the ratio of tristrontium silicate. In conclusion, 5% SMPC is a promising substitute material for bone repair with excellent physicochemical properties and biological activity.

Abstract
Previous research has found that octacalcium phosphate (OCP) increases macrophage accumulation and alters the initial inflammatory response. However, the role of the immune response induced by OCP in osteogenesis remains unknown. This study investigated the behavior of macrophages and bone regeneration capacity during the early inflammatory stage of OCP-mediated osteogenesis. To assess the change in macrophage polarization and osteogenic capacity, we used a standardized rat defect model filled with OCP or calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA)-a material obtained through the hydrolysis of the original OCP. OCP or CDHA granules were incubated with RAW264 cells for 5 days to investigate the effect of physicochemical characteristics on macrophage cytokine/chemokine expression in vitro. Our in vivo results show that due to the OCP implantation, macrophages in the rat tibial defect area tend to polarize to the M2 phenotype (anti-inflammatory) and inhibit the formation of the M1 phenotype (pro-inflammatory). In comparison to CDHA, OCP exhibited superior bone regeneration potential due to its rapid promotion of cortical bone healing and stimulation of macrophage-related growth factors. Furthermore, our in vitro results have shown that OCP regulates the expression of macrophage chemokines over time. Compared to incubation with CDHA, incubation with OCP caused changes in the ionic microenvironment. These findings suggest that the OCP-mediated macrophage polarization and secretion profile not only regulate immune function but also positively affect osteogenesis.

Abstract
Background Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is a condition caused due to damage or infection of the endometrium. It is characterized by continuous inflammation and following fibrosis and dysfunction. However, the current animal IUA models have several disadvantages, including complex operation, high mortality, and many extra distractions owing to opening of the abdominal cavity to expose the uterus. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which have been used in treatment of IUA, are heterogeneous and immunosuppressive. However, their therapeutic effect is not as good as expected. Methods Here, we successfully built a new murine IUA model, called electric tool-scratching IUA model, and applied it in our experiments to investigate the efficacy of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) primed MSCs (T-MSCs). In the new model, we used a self-made electric tool that can cause mechanical damage to the endometrium without opening the abdominal cavity. ELISA and histological staining analysis were performed to evaluate pathological features of IUA. qRT-PCR, flow cytometry and immunofluoresence staining were performed to detect the phenotypes of macrophages. TMT proteomics quantification and western blotting assay were performed to analyze the differentially expressed proteins of MSC exosomes. Results Based on the new IUA model, we found TNF-α pretreatment could enhance the ability of MSCs to relieve inflammation and reduce endometrium fibrosis. Mechanistically, T-MSC promoted macrophage polarization to M2 phenotype through exosomes. Subsequently, we found the expression of Galectin-1 was increased in T-MSC exosomes. Finally, we analyzed the gene expression pattern of Galectin-1 treated macrophages and found Galectin-1 promoted macrophage polarization to M2 phenotype mainly through the Jak-STAT signaling pathway. Conclusions Our studies proposed an innovative mouse model and a better MSC treatment strategy for IUA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The biological safety of natural jade materials and assembled jade-activated materials on cells and their anti-inflammatory and damage repair functions, as well as the repair function on sensitive skin, were studied utilizing in vitro cell biology and in vivo. METHODS Human skin fibroblasts were used as model cells to conduct cytotoxicity experiments in vitro, and the effects on the expression of inflammatory factors and growth factor-related genes in fibroblasts were explored. The gene expression values of inflammatory factors IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α and cytokines epidermal growth factors, fibroblast growth factors and COL1A1 in fibroblasts were measured by polymerase chain reaction test. Thirty women with sensitive skin were selected to apply a mask containing jade extract three times a week. After two weeks, non-invasive measures related to skin sensitivity were tested. RESULTS We confirmed the presence of anti-inflammatory effects in both jade materials, with the effects of the assembled activated jade material being superior to that of the natural jade material. Jade extracts significantly increased the gene expressions of EGF, FGF and COL1A1 in HDF. The results of the in vivo study showed that the mask containing jade extract could significantly increase the skin hydration and decrease the rate of transepidermal water loss and skin lactic acid sting test scores after two weeks of use. Subjective evaluations confirmed improvements in skin dryness, smoothness and fineness. No new sensitization occurred in subjects, and the product was non-irritating. No adverse skin reactions were observed during the test. CONCLUSIONS The jade materials were able to downregulate the expression of inflammatory factor genes, up-regulate the expression of growth factor genes, and improve the anti-inflammation and repair ability of skin. Furthermore, the test results of participants with sensitive skin after using the mask containing jade extract showed that the mask has repairing ability.

Abstract
With the increase of global population, people's life expectancy is growing as well. Humans tend to live more active lifestyles and, therefore, trauma generated large defects become more common. Instances of tumour resection or pathological conditions and complex orthopaedic issues occur more frequently increasing necessity for bone substitutes. Composition of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) is comparable to the chemical structure of bone minerals. Their ability to self-set and resorb in vivo secures a variety of potential applications in bone regeneration. Despite the years-long research and several products already reaching the market, finding the right properties for calcium phosphate cement to be osteoinductive and both injectable and suitable for clinical use is still a sudoku. This article is focused on injectable, porous CPCs, reviewing the latest developments on the path toward finding osteoinductive material, which is suitable for injection. Phase separation is an essential factor to be improved to obtain injectable material; several methods have been proposed. Osteoinductive bone substitutes – possible solution for bad mechanical performance of CPCs. Osteoinductivity of CPC could be attained even without the addition of different supplements. Less complex composition of CPC – potentially reduced price of the final product and wider availability on the market.

Zinc-doped calcium silicate additive accelerates early angiogenesis and bone regeneration of calcium phosphate cement by double bioactive ions stimulation and immunoregulation. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 141:213120. [PMID: 36122428 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2022] [Revised: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Calcium phosphate cement (CPC), a popular injectable bone defect repairing material, has deficiencies in stimulating osteogenesis and angiogenesis. To overcome the weaknesses of CPC, zinc-doped calcium silicate (Zn-CS) which can release bioactive silicon (Si) and zinc (Zn) ions was introduced to CPC. The physicochemical and biological properties of CPC and its composites were evaluated. Firstly, the most effective addition content of calcium silicate (CaSiO3, CS) in promoting the in vitro osteogenesis was first sorted out. On this basis, the most effective Zn doping content in CS for improving osteogenic differentiation of CPC-based composites was screened out. Finally, the immunoregulation of CS/CPC and Zn-CS/CPC in promoting angiogenesis and osteogenesis was studied. The results showed that the most effective incorporation content of CS was 10 wt%. Zn at a doping content of 30 mol% in CS (30Zn-CS) further enhanced the osteogenic capacity of CS/CPC and simultaneously maintained excellent proangiogenic activity. CS/CPC and 30Zn-CS/CPC promoted the recruitment of macrophages and enhanced M2 polarization while inhibiting M1 polarization, which was beneficial to the early vascularization as well as subsequent new bone formation. When implanted into the femoral condylar defects of rabbits, 30Zn-CS/CPC showed high in vivo materials degradation rate, angiogenesis and osteogenesis, due to the synergistic effects of Si and Zn on bio-stimulation and immunoregulation. This study shed light on the synergistic effects of Si and Zn on regulating the angiogenic, osteogenic, and immunoregulatory activity, and 30Zn-CS/CPC is expected to repair the lacunar bone defects effectively.

Abstract
Precise timing of macrophage polarization plays a pivotal role in immunomodulation of tissue regeneration, yet most studies mainly focus on M2 macrophages for their anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects while the essential proinflammatory role of the M1 phenotype on the early inflammation stage is largely underestimated. Herein, a superparamagnetic hydrogel capable of timely controlling macrophage polarization is constructed by grafting superparamagnetic nanoparticles on collagen nanofibers. The magnetic responsive hydrogel network enables efficient polarization of encapsulated macrophage to the M2 phenotype through the podosome/Rho/ROCK mechanical pathway in response to static magnetic field (MF) as needed. Taking advantage of remote accessibility of magnetic field together with the superparamagnetic hydrogels, a temporal engineered M1 to M2 transition course preserving the essential role of M1 at the early stage of tissue healing, as well as enhancing the prohealing effect of M2 at the middle/late stages is established via delayed MF switch. Such precise timing of macrophage polarization matching the regenerative process of injured tissue eventually leads to optimized immunomodulatory bone healing in vivo. Overall, this study offers a remotely time-scheduled approach for macrophage polarization, which enables precise manipulation of inflammation progression during tissue healing.

Abstract
Polylactic glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) has been widely used in tissue engineering due to its good biocompatibility and degradation properties. However, the mismatched mechanical and unsatisfactory biological properties of PLGA limit further application in bone tissue engineering. Calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is one of the most promising bone repair materials due to its non-immunogenicity, well biocompatibility, and excellent bone conductivity. In this study, aiming at the shortcomings of activity-lack and low mechanical of PLGA in bone tissue engineering, customized-designed 3D porous PLGA/CaSO4 scaffolds were prepared by 3D printing. We first studied the physical properties of PLGA/CaSO4 scaffolds and the results showed that CaSO4 improved the mechanical properties of PLGA scaffolds. In vitro experiments showed that PLGA/CaSO4 scaffold exhibited good biocompatibility. Moreover, the addition of CaSO4 could significantly improve the migration and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in the PLGA/CaSO4 scaffolds, and the PLGA/CaSO4 scaffolds made with 20 wt.% CaSO4 exhibited the best osteogenesis properties. Therefore, calcium sulfate was added to PLGA could lead to customized 3D printed scaffolds for enhanced mechanical properties and biological properties. The customized 3D-printed PLGA/CaSO4 scaffold shows great potential for precisely repairing irregular load-bearing bone defects.

Abstract
Background Femoral stem of titanium alloy has been widely used for hip arthroplasty with considerable efficacy; however, the application of this implant in patients with osteoporosis is limited due to excessive bone resorption. Macrophages participate in the regulation of inflammatory response and have been a topic of increasing research interest in implant field. However, few study has explored the link between macrophage polarization and osteogenic–osteoclastic differentiation. The present study aims to develop a novel hierarchical biofunctionalized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold with enhanced osteoporotic osseointegration through immunotherapy. Method To improve the osteointegration under osteoporosis, we developed a hierarchical biofunctionalized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold (PT). Biomimetic extracellular matrix (ECM) was constructed inside the interconnected pores of PT in micro-scale. And in nano-scale, a drug cargo icariin@Mg-MOF-74 (ICA@MOF) was wrapped in ECM-like structure that can control release of icariin and Mg2+. Results In this novel hierarchical biofunctionalized 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold, the macroporous structure provides mechanical support, the microporous structure facilitates cell adhesion and enhances biocompatibility, and the nanostructure plays a biological effect. We also demonstrate the formation of abundant new bone at peripheral and internal sites after intramedullary implantation of the biofunctionalized PT into the distal femur in osteoporotic rats. We further find that the controlled-release of icariin and Mg2+ from the biofunctionalized PT can significantly improve the polarization of M0 macrophages to M2-type by inhibiting notch1 signaling pathway and induce the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines; thus, it significantly ameliorates bone metabolism, which contributes to improving the osseointegration between the PT and osteoporotic bone. Conclusion The therapeutic potential of hierarchical PT implants containing controlled release system are effective in geriatric orthopaedic osseointegration. Graphical Abstract ![]()

Abstract
The seek of bioactive materials for promoting bone regeneration is a challenging and long-term task. Functionalization with inorganic metal ions or drug molecules is considered effective strategies to improve the bioactivity of various existing biomaterials. Herein, amorphous calcium magnesium phosphate (ACMP) nanoparticles and simvastatin (SIM)-loaded ACMP (ACMP/SIM) nanocomposites were developed via a simple co-precipitation strategy. The physiochemical property of ACMP/SIM was explored using transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high-performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC), and the role of Mg2+ in the formation of ACMP/SIM was revealed using X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES). After that, the transformation process of ACMP/SIM in simulated body fluid (SBF) was also tracked to simulate and explore the in vivo mineralization performance of materials. We find that ACMP/SIM releases ions of Ca2+, Mg2+ and PO43−, when it is immersed in SBF at 37°C, and a phase transformation occurred during which the initially amorphous ACMP turns into self-assembled hydroxyapatite (HAP). Furthermore, ACMP/SIM displays high cytocompatibility and promotes the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells. For the in vivo studies, lamellar ACMP/SIM/Collagen scaffolds with aligned pore structures were prepared and used to repair a rat defect model in calvaria. ACMP/SIM/Collagen scaffolds show a positive effect in promoting the regeneration of calvaria defect after 12 weeks. The bioactive ACMP/SIM nanocomposites are promising as bone repair materials. Considering the facile preparation process and superior in vitro/vivo bioactivity, the as-prepared ACMP/SIM would be a potential candidate for bone related biomedical applications.
