Abstract
Given the widespread clinical demand, addressing irregular cranial bone defects poses a significant challenge following surgical procedures and traumatic events. In situ-formed injectable hydrogels are attractive for irregular bone defects due to their ease of administration and the ability to incorporate ceramics, ions, and proteins into the hydrogel. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel composed of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-grafted dopamine (DO), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), calcium ions (Ca2+), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), and magnesium oxide (MgO) (DOCMCHM) was prepared to address irregular cranial bone defects via dynamic Schiff base and chelation reactions. DOCMCHM hydrogel exhibits strong adhesion to wet tissues, self-healing properties, and antibacterial characteristics. Biological evaluations indicate that DOCMCHM hydrogel has good biocompatibility, in vivo degradability, and the ability to promote cell proliferation. Importantly, DOCMCHM hydrogel, containing MgO, promotes the expression of osteogenic protein markers COL-1, OCN, and RUNX2, and stimulates the formation of new blood vessels by upregulating CD31. This study could provide meaningful insights into ion therapy for the repair of cranial bone defects.

Abstract
The structural knowledge of metal-organic frameworks is crucial to the understanding and development of new efficient materials for industrial implementation. This review classifies and discusses recent advanced literature reports on phase transitions that occur during thermal treatments on metal-organic frameworks and their characterisation. Thermally activated phase transitions and procceses are classified according to the temperaturatures at which they occur: high temperature (reversible and non-reversible) and low temperature. In addition, theoretical calculations and modelling approaches employed to better understand these structural phase transitions are also reviewed.

Abstract
Due to the increasing prevalence of bone disorders among people especially in average age, the future of treatments for osseous abnormalities has been illuminated by scaffold-based bone tissue engineering. In this study, in vitro and in vivo properties of 58S bioactive glass-based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (bare (B.SC), Zein-coated (C.SC), and Zein-coated containing Kaempferol (KC.SC)) were evaluated. This is a follow-up study on our previously published paper, where we synthesized 58S bioactive glass-based scaffolds coated with Kaempferol-loaded Zein biopolymer, and characterized from mostly engineering points of view to find the optimum composition. For this aim, in vitro assessments were done to evaluate the osteogenic capacity and biological features of the scaffolds. In the in vivo section, all types of scaffolds with/without bone marrow-derived stem cells (BMSC) were implanted into rat calvaria bone defects, and potential of bone healing was assessed using imaging, staining, and histomorphometric analyses. It was shown that, Zein-coating covered surface cracks leading to better mechanical properties without negative effect on bioactivity and cell attachment. Also, BMSC differentiation proved that the presence of Kaempferol caused higher calcium deposition, increased alkaline phosphatase activity, bone-specific gene upregulation in vitro. Further, in vivo study confirmed positive effect of BMSC-loaded KC.SC on significant new bone formation resulting in complete bone regeneration. Combining physical properties of coated scaffolds with the osteogenic effect of Kaempferol and BMSCs could represent a new strategy for bone regeneration and provide a more effective approach to repairing critical-sized bone defects.

Abstract
Biowastes from agriculture, sewage, household wastes, and industries comprise promising resources to produce biomaterials while reducing adverse environmental effects. This study focused on utilising waste-derived materials (i.e., eggshells as a calcium source, struvite as a phosphate source, and CH3COOH as dissolution media) to produce value-added products (i.e., calcium phosphates (CaPs) derived from biomaterials) using a continuous flow hydrothermal synthesis route. The prepared materials were characterised via XRD, FEG-SEM, EDX, FTIR, and TEM analysis. Magnesium whitlockite (Mg-WH) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were produced by single-phase or biphasic CaPs by reacting struvite with either calcium nitrate tetrahydrate or an eggshell solution at 200 °C and 350 °C. Rhombohedral-shaped Mg-WH (23-720 nm) along with tube (50-290 nm diameter, 20-71 nm thickness) and/or ellipsoidal morphologies of HA (273-522 nm width) were observed at 350 °C using HNO3 or CH3COOH to prepare the eggshell and struvite solutions, and NH4OH was used as the pH buffer. The Ca/P (atomic%) ratios obtained ranged between 1.3 and 1.7, indicating the formation of Mg-WH and HA. This study showed that eggshells and struvite usage, along with CH3COOH, are promising resources as potential sustainable precursors and dissolution media, respectively, to produce CaPs with varying morphologies.

Abstract
The oral and maxillofacial hard tissues support the maxillofacial shape and serve as the foundation for functional activities. Defects in these tissues not only impair patients’ ability to perform their normal physiological functions but also have a significant negative impact
on their psychological well-being. Moreover, these tissues have a limited capacity for self-healing, necessitating the use of artificial materials to repair defects. Calcium phosphate is a fine-grained inorganic biomineral found in vertebrate teeth and bones that has a comparable composition
to human hard tissues. Calcium phosphate materials are biocompatible, bioactive, and osteogenic for hard tissue repair, despite drawbacks such as poor mechanical qualities, limiting their clinical efficacy and application. With the advancement of materials science and technology, numerous
techniques have been developed to enhance the characteristics of calcium phosphate, and one of them is functionalization. Calcium phosphate can be functionally modified by changing its size, morphology, or composition through various preparation processes to achieve multifunctionality and
improve physical and chemical properties, biocompatibility, and osteogenic potential. The purpose of this review is to provide new ideas for the treatment of oralmaxillofacial hard tissue defects and deficiencies by summarizing the functionalization strategies of calcium phosphate materials
and their applications in dentistry.

Abstract
Although FDA approved and clinically utilised, research on 45S5 Bioglass® and S53P4 including other bioactive glasses continues in order to advance their applicability for a range of alternate applications. For example, rendering these particles porous would enable incorporation of varying biological payloads (i.e. cells, drugs and growth factors) and making them spherical would enhance their flow properties enabling delivery to target sites via minimally invasive injection procedures. This paper reports on the manufacture of solid (non-porous; SGMS) and highly porous microspheres (PGMS) with large external pores and fully interconnected porosity from bioactive silicate glass formulations (45S5 and S53P4) via a single stage flame spheroidisation process and their physicochemical properties including in vitro biological response. Morphological and physical characterisation of the SGMS and PGMS revealed interconnected porosity up to 65 ± 5%. Mass loss studies comparing between SGMS and PGMS revealed 1.5 times higher mass loss for the PGMS over 28 days. Also, in vitro bioactivity studies using simulated body fluid (SBF) revealed hydroxyapatite (HA) formation at earlier time point for PGMS compared to their SGMS counterparts (i.e day 1 for PGMS and day 3 for SGMS of 45S5). In addition, HA layers were also formed in cell culture media, with the exception of SGMS of 45S5, which revealed CaP formation with a ratio of 1.52-1.78. Direct cell seeding and indirect cell culture studies (via incubation with microsphere degradation products) revealed mouse 3T3 cells were able to grow and undergo osteogenic differentiation in vitro, confirming cytocompatibility of both 45S5 and S53P4 SGMS and PGMS. More importantly and especially for orthobiologic applications, cells were observed to have migrated within the pores of the PGMS. As such, the PGMS developed from these bioactive silicate glasses are highly promising candidate materials for orthobiologics and alternate applications requiring delivery of biologic payloads.
