Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Interfacial tissue exists throughout the body at cartilage-to-bone (osteochondral interface) and tendon-to-bone (enthesis) interfaces. Healing of interfacial tissues is a current challenge in regenerative approaches because the interface plays a critical role in stabilizing and distributing the mechanical stress between soft tissues (e.g., cartilage and tendon) and bone. The purpose of this review is to identify new directions in the field of interfacial tissue development and physiology that can guide future regenerative strategies for improving post-injury healing. RECENT FINDINGS Cues from interfacial tissue development may guide regeneration including biological cues such as cell phenotype and growth factor signaling; structural cues such as extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, ECM, and cell alignment; and mechanical cues such as compression, tension, shear, and the stiffness of the cellular microenvironment. In this review, we explore new discoveries in the field of interfacial biology related to ECM remodeling, cellular metabolism, and fate. Based on emergent findings across multiple disciplines, we lay out a framework for future innovations in the design of engineered strategies for interface regeneration. Many of the key mechanisms essential for interfacial tissue development and adaptation have high potential for improving outcomes in the clinic.

Lamellar thickness measurements in control and osteogenesis imperfecta human bone, with development of a method of automated thickness averaging to simplify quantitation. Matrix Biol 2023; 116:85-101. [PMID: 36592737 DOI: 10.1016/j.matbio.2022.12.006] [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: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 12/18/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Lamellar bone that forms in moderate and severe osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is composed of structurally irregular lamellae compared to those in control bone. OI and control cortical bone fragments were prepared for light microscopy in standardized fashion: decalcified, embedded in plastic, sectioned and stained with toluidine blue. Polarization light microscopy (PLM) was used to demonstrate and quantify bright and dark lamellar thicknesses in cortical bone fragments from 5 patients with moderate to severe OI in whom type I collagen structural/molecular defects were detected and in control bone from 5 patients. Rigid selection criteria identified lamellar regions for quantification. Thicknesses of bright and dark lamellae were measured manually at 20X magnification using a histomorphometric image analysis system. A method of automated thickness averaging was developed to determine lamellar thicknesses from PLM images to make measurement faster. Our study demonstrates, for the first time, that in OI bone from patients with type I collagen structural/molecular defects mean lamellar thickness measurements (along with the bright and dark lamellar thicknesses) were less than those in control bone by statistically highly significant differences. The mean value for bright lamellae was less than that for dark lamellae in both control and OI bone. The ratio of mean values for bright/dark lamellar thicknesses was the same in control and OI bone. The automated method obtained similar results to the manual method. Lamellar bone in moderate and severe OI with type I collagen defects is composed of thinner and less structurally regular lamellae than those in control bone. This finding indicates that lamellar thickness measurements can be helpful in assessing the effect of specific collagen and collagen-related mutations on OI bone synthesis and warrant inclusion in research and clinical histomorphometric assessments.

Abstract
With changing lifestyles, the demand for bone implantation has been increasing day by day. The deficiency of nutritious elements within the human body results in certain diseases like osteoporosis, rickets, and other skeletal disorders; lack of physical activities; and the increasing number of accidents are the primary reasons for bone damage/fracture. Metallic implants made up of chrome steel, cobalt-based alloys, and titanium-based alloys are being majorly used worldwide owing to their high strength and high corrosion resistance which makes them permanent orthopedic bioimplant materials, however, they display a stress-shielding effect and it also requires an implant removal surgery. Thus, these problems can be addressed through the employment of biodegradable materials. Among the available biodegradable metallic materials, Mg alloys have been identified as a prospective orthopedic implant material. These alloys are biodegradable as well as biocompatible, however, they experience a relatively higher rate of degradation limiting their usability as implant material. This study attempts to comprehensively assess the effects of various alloying elements such as Ca, Zn, Sn, Mn, Sr and Rare earth elements (REEs) on the mechanical and degradation behavior (bothin vivoandin vitro) of Mg alloys. Since the microstructure, mechanical properties and degradation response of the Mg alloys are dependent on the processing route, hence detailed processing- property database of different Mg alloys is provided in this paper.

Supramolecular assessment of cells and matrices in the context of woven and lamellar bone formation using light, polarization and ultrastructural microscopy. Bone Rep 2021; 14:100734. [PMID: 33665234 PMCID: PMC7898004 DOI: 10.1016/j.bonr.2020.100734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Diaphyseal long bone cortical tissue from 30 patients with lethal perinatal Sillence II and progressively deforming Sillence III osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) has been studied at multiple levels of structural resolution. Interpretation in the context of woven to lamellar bone formation by mesenchymal osteoblasts (MOBLs) and surface osteoblasts (SOBLs) respectively demonstrates lamellar on woven bone synthesis as an obligate self-assembly mechanism and bone synthesis following the normal developmental pattern but showing variable delay in maturation caused by structurally abnormal or insufficient amounts of collagen matrix. The more severe the variant of OI is, the greater the persistence of woven bone and the more immature the structural pattern; the pattern shifts to a structurally stronger lamellar arrangement once a threshold accumulation for an adequate scaffold of woven bone has been reached. Woven bone alone characterizes lethal perinatal variants; variable amounts of woven and lamellar bone occur in progressively deforming variants; and lamellar bone increasingly forms rudimentary and then partially compacted osteons not reaching full compaction. At differing levels of microscopic resolution: lamellar bone is characterized by short, obliquely oriented lamellae with a mosaic appearance in progressively deforming forms; polarization defines tissue conformations and localizes initiation of lamellar formation; ultrastructure of bone forming cells shows markedly dilated rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and prominent Golgi bodies with disorganized cisternae and swollen dispersed tubules and vesicles, structural indications of storage disorder/stress responses and mitochondrial swelling in cells with massively dilated RER indicating apoptosis; ultrastructural matrix assessments in woven bone show randomly oriented individual fibrils but also short pericellular bundles of parallel oriented fibrils positioned obliquely and oriented randomly to one another and in lamellar bone show unidirectional fibrils that deviate at slight angles to adjacent bundles and obliquely oriented fibril groups consistent with twisted plywood fibril organization. Histomorphometric indices, designed specifically to document woven and lamellar conformations in normal and OI bone, establish ratios for: i) cell area/total area X 100 indicating the percentage of an area occupied by cells (cellularity index) and ii) total area/number of cells (pericellular matrix domains). Woven bone is more cellular than lamellar bone and OI bone is more cellular than normal bone, but these findings occur in a highly specific fashion with values (high to low) encompassing OI woven, normal woven, OI lamellar and normal lamellar conformations. Conversely, for the total area/number of cells ratio, pericellular matrix accumulations in OI woven are smallest and normal lamellar largest. Since genotype-phenotype correlation is not definitive, interposing histologic/structural analysis allowing for a genotype-histopathologic-phenotype correlation will greatly enhance understanding and clinical management of OI.

Abstract
This paper proposes the development of a biomimetic composite based on naturally derived biomaterials. This freeze-dried scaffold contains a microwave-synthesized form of biomimetic hydroxyapatite (HAp), using the interwoven hierarchical structure of eggshell membrane (ESM) as bio-template. The bone regeneration capacity of the scaffold is enhanced with the help of added tricalcium phosphate from bovine Bone ash (BA). With the addition of Gelatin (Gel) and Chitosan (CS) as organic matrix, the obtained composite is characterized by the ability to stimulate the cellular response and might accelerate the bone healing process. Structural characterization of the synthesized HAp (ESM) confirms the presence of both hydroxyapatite and monetite phases, in accordance with the spectroscopy results on the ESM before and after the microwave thermal treatment (the presence of phosphate group). Morphology studies on all individual components and final scaffold, highlight their morphology and porous structure, characteristics that influence the biocompatibility of the scaffold. Porosity, swelling rate and the in vitro cytotoxicity assays performed on amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC), demonstrate the effective biocompatibility of the obtained materials. The experimental results presented in this paper highlight an original biocomposite scaffold obtained from naturally derived materials, in a nontoxic manner.
