[PMID: 40132359 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2025.123263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2024] [Revised: 02/25/2025] [Accepted: 03/16/2025] [Indexed: 03/27/2025]
Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a fatal malignant tumor that occurs in bone, whose main treatment is surgical resection. With anti-tumor and osteogenic effects, Magnesium (Mg) is a promising biodegradable metal for postoperative treatment in OS, however, its anti-OS effect and mechanism still need to be explored. Here, while holding the ability to promote osteogenesis, Mg metal at the same time significantly reduces the proliferation, migration and invasion of various OS cells (UMR106, 143B, K7M2) in vitro. Similarly, it inhibits the growth and lung metastasis of UMR106 induced tumors in xenograft models in vivo. The mRNA-seq analysis shows that Mg significantly inhibits Wnt-pathway (increased APC, Axin2 and GSK3β to induce degradation of β-catenin) in typical OS, which is further verified by western blotting and immunofluorescence analyses. A Mg2+ concentration of 240 mg/L, either from Mg metal extract or Mg salt (MgCl2), equivalently exhibits significantly increased APC, Axin2, GSK3β and decreased β-catenin, and then inhibits tumorigenicity of typical OS cells. This work reveals that a local high concentration of Mg can inhibit OS by down-regulating Wnt-pathway, and meanwhile favors for normal health bone, which demonstrates a new approach and mechanism in the treatment of OS with Mg-based biodegradable metals.

Food Chem Toxicol 2025; 200:115428.

Abstract
Fatty acid-binding protein 4 (FABP4) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several forms of acute kidney injury (AKI), including rhabdomyolysis, ischemia/reperfusion, sepsis, and cisplatin-induced AKI. However, whether FABP4 inhibition confers a renoprotective effect in wasp sting-induced AKI remains unclear. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the role of FABP4 in wasp sting-induced AKI in vivo and in vitro. We assessed renal dysfunction, mitochondrial injury, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling pathway-mediated inflammation, and apoptosis. FABP4 expression was significantly higher in wasp sting-induced models of AKI than in the control groups, and pharmacological inhibition of FABP4 attenuated renal dysfunction and tubular injury. Wasp sting-induced AKI was associated with mitochondrial damage induced by excessive mitochondrial fission, which was effectively mitigated by FABP4 inhibition. The FABP4 inhibitor reduced the release of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and cytochrome c (Cyt-c) from damaged mitochondria. cGAS-STING activation induced by mtDNA was downregulated by FABP4 inhibition. Subsequently, inflammation and apoptosis in wasp sting-induced AKI were significantly alleviated, as evidenced by decreased levels of inflammatory mediators and apoptosis-related proteins. In conclusion, FABP4 was found to play a key role in the occurrence and progression of wasp sting-induced AKI.

Abstract
The biomechanical similarity of magnesium to cortical bone, along with its biocompatibility and biodegradability, makes it promising for orthopedic implants. However, rapid degradation compromises the structural integrity and fixation, causing failure. To address this issue, we developed a hard-soft dual-state coating to regulate degradation and improve performance. A dense magnesium hydroxide hard coating was formed by sodium hydroxide treatment, and the hydrogel soft coating formed by freeze-drying was 44.5 μm thick. The dual coating significantly improved the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Mg-OH-Hy implants exhibited a reduced corrosion rate of 0.61 mm/year (±0.02), an ultimate fracture force of 750 N (±10), and a pullout force of 350 N (±10). Electrochemical testing revealed an Ecorr of -1.08 V and an Icorr of 10-3·8 mA/cm2. This dual coating approach improves mechanical stability, controls degradation, and promotes bone integration, providing personalized solutions for diverse clinical applications.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT), which utilizes photothermal agents (PTAs) to induce localized hyperthermia within tumors upon light irradiation, has emerged as a promising cancer treatment strategy. However, low water solubility, poor in vivo circulation stability and a lack of tumor specificity of many common PTAs limit their applicability. To address these issues, we have developed a simple, yet highly potent, tumor-targeted nanotheranostic system that consists of lipid/PEG-coated hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (LHAPNs) encapsulating the near-infrared (NIR) photothermal dye IR106 (LHAPNIRs). The lipid coat serves to retain the encapsulated dye and prevent serum protein adsorption and macrophage recognition, which would otherwise destabilize the nanoparticles and hinder their tumor targeting efficiency. Additionally, the coat is functionalized with the tumor-acidity-triggered rational membrane (ATRAM) peptide for efficient and specific internalization into tumor cells in the mildly acidic microenvironment of tumors. The nanoparticles facilitated real-time fluorescence and thermal imaging of tumors and demonstrated potent NIR-light triggered anticancer activity in vitro and in vivo , without adversely affecting healthy tissue, leading to markedly prolonged survival. Our results demonstrate that the biocompatible and biodegradable ATRAM-functionalized LHAPNIRs (ALHAPNIRs) effectively combine dual-mode diagnostic imaging with targeted cancer PTT.

Abstract
Surgical resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the primary strategies of treating cancers globally. However, the current treatment methods bring new disease burdens to patients due to postoperative complications and multiple side effects, especially in surface tumours such as oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In this study, we developed a microwave cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) device in conjunction with tumour microenvironment-responsive nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) for the first time. The synergistic effects of CAP and nHA combined application on OSCC were evaluated in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. The synergistic effects of CAP and pH-responsive NH2-nHA on the apoptosis, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium ion concentration of OSCC cells were investigated in vitro. The synergistic induction of CAP with NH2-nHA exhibited optimal tumour-specific inhibitory effects on OSCC. The results revealed that the combined application of CAP with NH2-nHA induced apoptosis of tumour cells in vitro and killed 84.0% of tumours in vivo. Mechanistically, CAP enhances extracellular ROS production, while NH2-nHA amplifies intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) concentrations, synergistically increasing intracellular ROS levels to provoke oxidative stress in OSCC cells, ultimately triggering the mitochondrial apoptosis pathway. In conclusion, the combined utilisation of CAP and NH2-nHA presents a promising avenue as a novel, selective, and non-invasive strategy in the management of OSCC.

Abstract
Traumatic defects or non-union fractures presents a substantial challenge in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Although synthetic calcium phosphate-based biomaterials (CaPs) such as dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrate (DCPA) are commonly employed for bone repair, their inadequate cellular immune responses significantly impede sustained degradation and optimal osteogenesis. In this study, drawing inspiration from the key structure of an acidic non-collagenous protein-CaP complex (ANCPs-CaP) essential for natural bone formation, we prepared biomimetic mineralized dibasic calcium phosphate (MDCPA). This preparation utilized plant-derived non-collagenous protein Zein as the organic template and acidic artificial saliva as the mineralization medium. Physicochemical property analysis revealed that MDCPA is a complex of Zein and DCPA, which mimics the composite of the natural ANCP-CaP. Moreover, MDCPA exhibited enhanced biodegradability and osteogenic potential. Mechanistic insight revealed that MDCPA can be phagocytized and degraded by macrophages via the FCγRIII receptor, leading to the release of interleukin 27 (IL-27), which promotes osteogenic differentiation by osteoimmunomodulation. The critical role of IL-27 in osteogenesis is further confirmed using IL-27 gene knockout mice. Additionally, MDCPA demonstrates effective healing of critical-sized defects in rat cranial bones within only 4 w, providing a promising basis and valuable insights for critical-sized bone defects regeneration.

Abstract
The clinical treatment of osteosarcoma faces great challenges of residual tumor cells leading to tumor recurrence and irregular bone defects difficult to repair after surgery removal of the primary tumor tissue. We developed an injectable and in-situ cross-linkable hydrogel (named MOG hydrogel) using MgO2 nanoparticles and dopamine-conjugated gelatin as main components. MgO2 was rationally designed as a multifunctional active ingredient to mediate in situ gelation, tumor therapy, and bone repair sequentially. The 10MOG (with 10 mg/mL MgO2 content) showed excellent gel stability, injectability, shape adaptability, tissue adhesion, and rapid hemostatic ability. Importantly, 10MOG exhibited ideal sequential H2O2 and Mg2+ release property. The released H2O2 synergized with photothermal therapy for enhanced tumor recurrence suppression, and the sustainable Mg2+ release efficiently promoted bone regeneration. The MOG hydrogel, possessing excellent on-demand antitumor and osteogenic capabilities in vitro and in vivo, exhibited tremendous potential in the clinical application for challenging postsurgical osteosarcoma treatment.

[PMID: 40124021 PMCID: PMC11923658 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.5c00882] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2025] [Revised: 02/20/2025] [Accepted: 02/21/2025] [Indexed: 03/25/2025]
Abstract
The pulse beetle Callosobruchus maculatus is a serious insect pest of stored legumes. Therefore, the management of such pests has become a necessity as it causes great economic loss to its plant host. Unfortunately, pest management programs against C. maculatus encounter several obstacles, such as the generation of insecticide resistance and environmental hazards of traditional insecticides. The current study was designed to overcome these obstacles by using synthetic nanoparticles as alternative insecticides. In this study, a synthetic form of eggshell-based hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HAPNPs) was used as a control agent against C. maculatus. This material was selected because of its environmental safety, which is ensured due to its wide spectrum of applications in our daily activities. HAPNPs originating from eggshells were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and TEM. The obtained results revealed a lack of impurities in the synthesized particles and that the average plate size is ∼62.8 nm, while the rod structure has a length and width of ∼91 nm and ∼22.7 nm, respectively. A comparative study on the toxicity of HAPNPs and Malathion insecticide against C. maculatus showed a significant impact of NPs originating from eggshells than the positive control insecticide. Based on this finding, further analyses were performed to understand its subsequent effects. Eggshell-based HAPNPs disrupted C. maculatus fecundity and adult emergence rate. In the meantime, it highly reduced the negative effects of C. maculatus on cowpea seeds. Scanning electron microscopy showed clear disruption of the insect integument wax layer and the aggregation of HAPNPs on the beetle's spiracles, leading to respiratory failure and hence the death of the insects. Interestingly, there was no impact of HAPNP application on total antioxidants and H2O2 levels in C. maculatus. These results introduce a novel management tool using a safer nanopesticide against the cowpea beetle.

Abstract
Vanadium is a bioactive trace element with variable valence. Its pentavalent form has been confirmed to be capable of predominantly regulating the early and mid-stage osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) without tumor inhibition, while its tetravalent form exhibits tumor inhibition but only primarily modulates late osteogenic differentiation and angiogenesis. In this study, a multifunctional bone tissue scaffold consisting of mixed-valence vanadium-doped mesoporous bioactive glass and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (V(IV/V)-MBG/PLGA) was developed to simultaneously inhibit the recurrence of osteosarcoma and promote the regeneration of operative bone defects. The in vitro results showed that the V(IV) and V(V) species could be sustainably released from V(IV/V)-MBG and complementarily enhance the proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization of BMSCs by activating multiple signaling pathways throughout the whole osteogenesis process. More importantly, the co-existence of mixed-valent vanadium species was able to continuously stimulate the generation of excessive ROS and the depletion of GSH by synergistically supplying an appropriate ratio of V(IV) and V(V) to thermodynamically and kinetically maintain the stable self-circulation of the valence state alteration, thus inducing UMR-106 cell death. In a rat model, V(IV/V)-MBG/PLGA scaffolds effectively suppressed tumor invasion and promoted bone regeneration. These results suggest that V(IV/V)-MBG/PLGA scaffolds are a promising strategy for treating tumor-associated bone defects, offering dual tumor inhibition and bone regeneration.

Lauric acid-mediated gelatin/hyaluronic acid composite hydrogel with effective antibacterial and immune regulation for accelerating MRSA-infected diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2025; 290:138792.

Abstract
The infected diabetic wound healing is an increasingly severe healthcare problem worldwide. Bacterial infection and the inflammatory microenvironment hinder diabetic wound healing. Meanwhile, the combination of inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting macrophage polarization in the wound microenvironment is beneficial for treating diabetic wounds. Nowadays, hydrogels, as an emerging wound dressing, have great potential to replace or supplement traditional bandages or gauze. Here, glycyl methacrylate gelatin (Gel-Gym), oxidized hyaluronic acid (HA-CHO) and lauric acid (LA) were used to prepare the composite hydrogel (GH/LA) in addressing the clinical dilemma. The hydrogel could withstand 50 % compression deformation, its swelling rate was as low as 18 %, and its adhesion to pig skin reached 14 kPa. Moreover, a diabetic infected wound model was used to evaluate the feasibility of GH/LA hydrogel in vivo. The hydrogels' antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and prorestitutive potentials were further investigated, and GH/LA showed a therapeutic effect on diabetic wounds. Interestingly, macrophage polarization into the M2 phenotype was significantly enhanced in the presence of GH/LA via GPR40/NF-κB pathway. This study provided a new avenue for treating methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infected diabetic wounds.

Abstract
The (002) crystallographic plane-oriented hydroxyapatite (HA) and anatase TiO2 enable favorable hydrophilicity, osteogenesis, and biocorrosion resistance. Thus, the crystallographic plane control in HA coating and crystalline phase control in TiO2 is vital to affect the surface and interface bioactivity and biocorrosion resistance of titanium (Ti) implants. However, a corresponding facile and efficient fabrication method is absent to realize the HA(002) mineralization and anatase TiO2 formation on Ti. Herein, we utilized the predominant Ti(0002) plane of the fibrous-grained titanium (FG Ti) to naturally form anatase TiO2 and further achieve a (002) basal plane oriented nanoHA (nHA) film through an in situ mild hydrothermal growth strategy. The formed FG Ti-nHA(002) remarkably improved hydrophilicity, mineralization, and biocorrosion resistance. Moreover, the nHA(002) film reserved the microgroove-like topological structure on FG Ti. It could enhance osteogenic differentiation through promoted contact guidance, showing one order of magnitude higher expression of osteogenic-related genes. On the other hand, the nHA(002) film restrained the osteoclast activity by blocking actin ring formation. Based on these capacities, FG Ti-nHA(002) improved new bone growth and binding strength in rabbit femur implantation, achieving satisfactory osseointegration within 2 weeks.

Abstract
Infection is the most prevalent complication of fractures, particularly in open fractures, and often leads to severe consequences. The emergence of bacterial resistance has significantly exacerbated the burden of infection in clinical practice, making infection control a significant treatment challenge for infectious bone defects. The implantation of a structural stent is necessary to treat large bone defects despite the increased risk of infection. Therefore, there is a need for the development of novel antibacterial therapies. The advancement in antibacterial biomaterials and new antimicrobial drugs offers fresh perspectives on antibacterial treatment. Although antimicrobial 3D scaffolds are currently under intense research focus, relying solely on material properties or antibiotic action remains insufficient. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are one of the most promising new antibacterial therapy approaches. This review discusses the underlying mechanisms behind infectious bone defects and presents research findings on antimicrobial peptides, specifically emphasizing their mechanisms and optimization strategies. We also explore the potential prospects of utilizing antimicrobial peptides in treating infectious bone defects. Furthermore, we propose that artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms can be utilized for predicting the pharmacokinetic properties of AMPs, including absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion, and by combining information from genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and clinical studies with computational models driven by machine learning algorithms, scientists can gain a comprehensive understanding of AMPs' mechanisms of action, therapeutic potential, and optimizing treatment strategies tailored to individual patients, and through interdisciplinary collaborations between computer scientists, biologists, and clinicians, the full potential of AI in accelerating the discovery and development of novel AMPs will be realized. Besides, with the continuous advancements in 3D/4D/5D/6D technology and its integration into bone scaffold materials, we anticipate remarkable progress in the field of regenerative medicine. This review summarizes relevant research on the optimal future for the treatment of infectious bone defects, provides guidance for future novel treatment strategies combining multi-dimensional printing with new antimicrobial agents, and provides a novel and effective solution to the current challenges in the field of bone regeneration.

Abstract
The literature reports on microarchitecture and metabolism characteristics of synthetic hydroxyapatite obtained by different techniques were analyzed. The direct relation between hydroxyapatite production process and its microarchitecture was stated to exist. In turn, hydroxyapatite microarchitecture largely specifies its metabolism characteristics (a number of processes related to calcium and phosphorus metabolism). Therefore, with reference to the metabolism of synthetic hydroxyapatite with various microarchitectures, we analyzed the relationship of the material under study with the immune system cells. Particular emphasis was given to the relationship of hydroxyapatite characteristics with a recipient's immune system due to the material microarchitecture. The review assessed the possible participation of cell mitochondria in synthetic hydroxyapatite metabolism. There were compared the findings of a recipient's immune system in vivo and in vitro depending on hydroxyapatite nanoscale morphology. The review conclusions emphasized the necessity for further investigations of immunologically mediated metabolism of hydroxyapatite intended for bone implants, including the development of research methods in vitro for deeper understanding of the material properties. There was demonstrated the synthetic hydroxyapatite potential in treating bone defects and specified the significance of in vivo studies to develop bone surgery and reconstructive medicine.

Abstract
The standard treatment for osteosarcoma combines surgery with chemotherapy, yet it is fraught with challenges such as postoperative tumor recurrence and chemotherapy-induced side effects. Additionally, bone defects after surgery often surpass the body's regenerative ability, affecting patient recovery. Bioengineering offers a novel approach through the use of bioactive scaffolds crafted from metals, ceramics, and hydrogels for bone defect repair. However, these scaffolds are typically devoid of antitumor properties, necessitating the integration of therapeutic agents. The development of a multifunctional therapeutic platform incorporating chemotherapeutic drugs, photothermal agents (PTAs), photosensitizers (PIs), sound sensitizers (SSs), magnetic thermotherapeutic agents (MTAs), and naturally occurring antitumor compounds addresses this limitation. This platform is engineered to target osteosarcoma cells while also facilitating bone tissue repair and regeneration. This review synthesizes recent advancements in integrated bioactive scaffolds (IBSs), underscoring their dual role in combating osteosarcoma and enhancing bone regeneration. We also examine the current limitations of IBSs and propose future research trajectories to overcome these hurdles.

Abstract
Repair and regeneration of bone tissue defects is a multidimensional process that has been highly challenging to date. The artificial bone scaffold materials, which play a core role, still face the conflict that a biofriendly porous structure will reduce the mechanical performance and accelerate degradation. Herein, a multistage porous structured hydroxyapatite (HA)/silk fibroin (SF) composite scaffold (e-HA/SF) was successfully constructed by cleverly utilizing electric field-induced gel technology. The results indicated that the prepared e-HA/SF scaffolds possess biomimetic hierarchical porous structures with a suitable porosity similar to that of cancellous bone. The HA nanocrystals were uniformly encapsulated in the three-dimensional space of the composite scaffold, thus endowing the e-HA/SF composite scaffolds with an enhanced mechanical performance. Notably, the maximum compression stress and Young's modulus of e-HA/SF-2 scaffolds can reach 24.66 ± 0.88 and 28.91 ± 3.19 MPa, respectively, which are equivalent to those of cancellous bone. Such mechanical performance enhancement was previously unattainable through conventional freeze-drying strategies. Moreover, the introduction of bioactive nano-HA can trigger the optimal cell response in both static and dynamic cell culture experiments in vitro. The e-HA/SF composite scaffold developed in this study can better balance the conflict between the porous structure and mechanical and degradation properties of porous scaffolds.

Abstract
Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) is distinguished by its exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability, qualities attributed to its similarity to the mineral component of human bone. This review discusses the synthesis techniques of nHA, highlighting how these methods shape its physicochemical attributes and, in turn, its utility in biomedical applications. The versatility of nHA is further enhanced by doping with biologically significant ions like magnesium or zinc, which can improve its bioactivity and confer therapeutic properties.

Abstract
Liver cancer is one of the aggressive primary tumors as evident by high rate of incidence and mortality. Conventional treatments (e.g. chemotherapy) suffer from various drawbacks including wide drug distribution, low localized drug concentration, and severe off-site toxicity. Therefore, they cannot satisfy the mounting need for safe and efficient cancer therapeutics, and alternative novel strategies are needed. Nano-based drug delivery systems (NDDSs) are among these novel approaches that can improve the overall therapeutic outcomes. NDDSs are designed to encapsulate drug molecules and target them specifically to liver cancer. Thus, NDDSs can selectively deliver therapeutic agents to the tumor cells and avoid distribution to off-target sites which should improve the safety profile of the active agents. Nonetheless, NDDSs should be well designed, in terms of the preparing materials, nanocarriers structure, and the targeting strategy, in order to accomplish these objectives. This review discusses the latest advances of NDDSs for cancer therapy with emphasis on the aforementioned essential design components. The review also entails the challenges associated with the clinical translation of NDDSs, and the future perspectives towards next-generation NDDSs.

Biomimetic Scaffolds Regulating the Iron Homeostasis for Remolding Infected Osteogenic Microenvironment. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2407251.

Abstract
The treatment of infected bone defects (IBDs) needs simultaneous elimination of infection and acceleration of bone regeneration. One mechanism that hinders the regeneration of IBDs is the iron competition between pathogens and host cells, leading to an iron deficient microenvironment that impairs the innate immune responses. In this work, an in situ modification strategy is proposed for printing iron-active multifunctional scaffolds with iron homeostasis regulation ability for treating IBDs. As a proof-of-concept, ultralong hydroxyapatite (HA) nanowires are modified through in situ growth of a layer of iron gallate (FeGA) followed by incorporation in the poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) matrix to print biomimetic PLGA based composite scaffolds containing FeGA modified HA nanowires (FeGA-HA@PLGA). The photothermal effect of FeGA endows the scaffolds with excellent antibacterial activity. The released iron ions from the FeGA-HA@PLGA help restore the iron homeostasis microenvironment, thereby promoting anti-inflammatory, angiogenesis and osteogenic differentiation. The transcriptomic analysis shows that FeGA-HA@PLGA scaffolds exert anti-inflammatory and pro-osteogenic differentiation by activating NF-κB, MAPK and PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. Animal experiments confirm the excellent bone repair performance of FeGA-HA@PLGA scaffolds for IBDs, suggesting the promising prospect of iron homeostasis regulation therapy in future clinical applications.

Abstract
Therapeutic efficacy of skeletal diseases is usually limited by unfavorable drug delivery due to incapable bone targeting and low bone affinity of conventional drug carriers, as well as relatively reduced vascularization and dense structure of bone tissues. Due to CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4)/CXC chemokine ligand 12 (CXCL12) signal axis-guided recruitment, osteoprogenitor cells (OPCs) can actively migrate to bone disease nidus. Here, drugs-loaded nanoliposomes are prepared and decorated onto OPCs by biotin-streptavidin linkage for precise bone disease targeting and effective drug delivery. In mouse models of tibia defect and orthotopic osteosarcoma, superior targeting property of OPCs-based drug delivery systems toward diseased bone niduses is verified. By encapsulating antitumor and antiosteoporosis drugs into nanoliposomes, OPCs-based drug delivery systems effectively inhibit disease development and restore bone destruction in mouse models of orthotopic osteosarcoma and ovariectomized osteoporosis. This study reveals a cell-based drug delivery system for precise bone disease targeting and highly effective drug delivery, which will find great potential as a universal drug delivery platform for targeting treatment of various bone diseases.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly favored in clinical trials due to their unique characteristics, which have isolated from various human tissues. Derived from dental tissues, dental stem cells (DSCs) are particularly notable for their applications in tissue repair and regenerative medicine, attributed to their readily available sources, absence of ethical controversies, and minimal immunogenicity. Hydrogel-loaded stem cell therapy is widespread across a variety of injuries and diseases, and has good repair capabilities for both soft and hard tissues. This review comprehensively summarizes the regenerative and differentiation potential of various DSCs encapsulated in hydrogels across different tissues. In addition, the existing problems and future direction are also addressed. The application of hydrogel-DSCs composite has gained substantial progress in the field of tissue regeneration and need in-depth study in the future.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HA) exhibits outstanding biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteoconductivity, and natural anti-inflammatory properties. Pure HA, ion-doped HA, and HA-polymer composites are investigated, but critical limitations such as brittleness remain; numerous efforts are being made to address them. Herein, the novel self-crystallization of a polymeric single-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (ssDNA) without additional phosphate ions for synthesizing deoxyribonucleic apatite (DNApatite) is presented. The synthesized DNApatite, DNA1Ca2.2(PO4)1.3OH2.1, has a repetitive dual phase of inorganic HA crystals and amorphous organic ssDNA at the sub-nm scale, forming nanorods. Its mechanical properties, including toughness and elasticity, are significantly enhanced compared with those of HA nanorod, with a Young's modulus similar to that of natural bone.

Abstract
BP has shown good potential for promoting bone regeneration. However, the understanding of the mechanisms of BP-enhanced bone regeneration is still limited. This review first summarizes the recent advances in applications of BP in bone regeneration. We further highlight the possibility that BP enhances bone regeneration by regulating the behavior of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), osteoblasts, vascular endothelial cells (VECs), and macrophages, mainly through the regulation of cytoskeletal remodeling, energy metabolism, oxidation resistance and surface adsorption properties, etc. In addition, moderating the physicochemical properties of BP (i.e., shape, size, and surface charge) can alter the effects of BP on bone regeneration. This review reveals the underlying mechanisms of BP-enhanced bone regeneration and provides strategies for further material design of BP-based materials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Antioxidant and free radical resistance has been a key concern of tissue engineering. In this study, Hydroxyapatite (HAp) with osteogenic activity and Oligomeric Proantho Cyanidins (OPC) with antioxidant activity were chemically grafted to prepare gelatin-based biofunctional aerogel (GHPOS). SEM results confirmed that these aerogels exhibited obvious macroporous structure and could provide a suitable microenvironment for bone cell growth. The addition of HAP-PEI-OPC made it have good antioxidant activity, and the cell results proved that the aerogel prepared in this study had good cytocompatibility and did not produce cytotoxicity. The addition of nanoparticles played an important role in the activity of 3T3-E1. The results showed that these bioactive aerogel scaffolds have potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone metastasis, a prevalent occurrence in primary malignant tumors, is often associated with a grim prognosis. The bone microenvironment comprises various coexisting cell types, working together in a coordinated manner. This dynamic microenvironment plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of bone metastases. While cancer therapies have made advancements, the available options for addressing bone metastases remain insufficient.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most commonly occurring primary bone malignant tumor. The clinical postsurgical OS treatment faces big challenges for the staged therapeutic requirements of early anti-tumor, anti-bacterial, and long-lasting osteogenesis. Herein, multi-functional bioactive scaffolds with time-sequential functions of preventing tumor recurrence, inhibiting bacterial infection, and promoting bone defect repair are designed as a novel strategy. Nanocomposite scaffold magnesium peroxide (MgO2)/poly (lactide-co-glycolide) is prepared by low-temperature 3D printing for controllable releasing magnesium ions (Mg2+) and reactive oxygen species in a time-sequential manner. The scaffold with 20 wt% MgO2 (20MP) is verified with desired mechanical properties, as well as exhibits staged release behavior of bioactive elements with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) release for the first 3 weeks, and long-lasting Mg2+ release for 12 weeks. The released H2O2 initiates chemodynamic therapy to induce apoptosis and ferroptosis in tumor cells, along with activating the anticancer immune microenvironment by M1 polarization of macrophages. The released Mg2+ subsequently enhances bone repair by activating the Wnt3a/GSK-3β/β-catenin signaling pathway to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and create osteopromotive immune microenvironment by M2 polarization of macrophages. In conclusion, the multi-functional 20MP scaffold demonstrates time-sequential therapeutic properties as an innovative strategy for OS-associated bone defect treatment.

Abstract
Osteoblasts and osteoclasts are two of the most important types of cells in bone repair, and their bone-forming and bone-resorbing activities influence the process of bone repair. In this study, we proposed a physicochemical bidirectional regulation strategy via ration by physically utilizing hydroxyapatite nanopatterning to recruit and induce MSCs osteogenic differentiation and by chemically inhibiting osteolysis activity through the loaded zoledronate. The nanorod-like hydroxyapatite coating was fabricated via a modified hydrothermal process while the zoledronic acid was loaded through the chelation within the calcium ions. The fabrication of a hydroxyapatite/zoledronic acid composite biomaterial. This biomaterial promotes bone tissue regeneration by physically utilizing hydroxyapatite nanopatterning to recruit and induce MSCs osteogenic differentiation and by chemically inhibiting osteolysis activity through the loaded zoledronate. The nanorod-like hydroxyapatite coating was fabricated via a modified hydrothermal process while the zoledronic acid was loaded through the chelation within the calcium ions. The in vitro results tested on MSCs and RAW 246.7 indicated that the hydroxyapatite enhanced cells' physical sensing system, therefore enhancing the osteogenesis. At the same time the zoledronic acid inhibited osteolysis by downregulating the RANK-related genes. This research provides a promising strategy for enhancing bone regeneration and contributes to the field of orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Typically occurring after trauma or neurosurgery treatments, dura mater defect and the ensuing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage could lead to a number of serious complications and even patient's death. Although numerous natural and synthetic dura mater substitutes have been reported, none of them have been able to fulfill the essential properties, such as anti-adhesion, leakage blockage, and pro-dura rebuilding. In this study, we devised and prepared a series of robust and biodegradable hydroxyapatite/poly(lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (nHA/PLCL) membranes for dura repair via an electrospinning technique. In particular, PLLA/PCL (80/20) was selected for electrospinning due to its mechanical properties that most closely resembled natural dural tissue. Studies by SEM, XRD, water contact angle and in vitro degradation showed that the introduction of nHA would destroy PLCL's crystalline structure, which would further affect the mechanical properties of the nHA/PLCL membranes. When the amount of nHA added increased, so did the wettability and in vitro degradation rate, which accelerated the release of nHA. In addition, the high biocompatibility of nHA/PLCL membranes was demonstrated by in vitro cytotoxicity data. The in vivo rabbit dura repair model results showed that nHA/PLCL membranes provided a strong physical barrier to stop tissue adhesion at dura defects. Meanwhile, the nHA/PLCL and commercial group's CSF had a significantly lower number of inflammatory cells than the control groups, validating the nHA/PLCL's ability to effectively lower the risk of intracranial infection. Findings from H&E and Masson-trichrome staining verified that the nHA/PLCL electrospun membrane was more favorable for fostering dural defect repair and skull regeneration. Moreover, the relative molecular weight of PLCL declined dramatically after 3 months of implantation, according to the results of the in vivo degradation test, but it retained the fiber network structure and promoted tissue growth, demonstrating the good stability of the nHA/PLCL membranes. Collectively, the nHA/PLCL electrospun membrane presents itself as a viable option for dura repair.

Abstract
Surgical resection of bone tumors is the primary approach employed in the treatment of bone cancer. Simultaneously, perioperative interventions, particularly postoperative adjuvant anticancer strategies, play a crucial role in achieving satisfactory therapeutic outcomes. However, the occurrence of postoperative bone tumor recurrence, metastasis, extensive bone defects, and infection are significant risks that can result in unfavorable prognoses or even treatment failure. In recent years, there has been significant progress in the development of biomaterials, leading to the emergence of new treatment options for bone tumor therapy and bone regeneration. This progress report aims to comprehensively analyze the strategic development of unique therapeutic biomaterials with inherent healing properties and bioactive capabilities for bone tissue regeneration. These composite biomaterials, classified into metallic, inorganic non-metallic, and organic types, are thoroughly investigated for their responses to external stimuli such as light or magnetic fields, internal interventions including chemotherapy or catalytic therapy, and combination therapy, as well as their role in bone regeneration. Additionally, an overview of self-healing materials for osteogenesis is provided and their potential applications in combating osteosarcoma and promoting bone formation are explored. Furthermore, the safety concerns of integrated materials and current limitations are addressed, while also discussing the challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
Black phosphorus (BPs) nanosheets with their inherent and selective chemotherapeutic effects have recently been identified as promising cancer therapeutic agents, but challenges in surface functionalization hinder satisfactory enhancement of their selectivity between tumors and normal cells. To address this issue, we developed a novel biomineralization-inspired strategy to synthesize CaBPs-Na2FDP@CaCl2 nanosheets, aiming to achieve enhanced and selective anticancer bioactivity along with accelerated osteoblast activity. Benefiting from the in situ mineralization and fructose modification, CaBPs-Na2FDP@CaCl2 exhibited improved pH-responsive degradation behavior and targeted therapy for osteosarcoma. The in vitro results indicated that CaBPs-Na2FDP@CaCl2 exhibited efficient uptake and quick degradation by GLUT5-positive 143B osteosarcoma cells, enhancing BPs-driven chemotherapeutic effects through ATP level disturbance-mediated apoptosis of tumor cells. Moreover, CaBPs-Na2FDP@CaCl2 underwent gradual degradation into PO43-, Ca2+ and fructose in MC3T3-E1 cells, eliminating systemic toxicity. Intracellular Ca2+ bound to calmodulin (CaM), activating Ca2+/CaM-dependent signaling cascades, thereby enhancing osteoblast differentiation and mineralization in pro-osteoblastic cells. In vivo experiments affirmed the anti-tumor capability, inhibition of tumor recurrence and bone repair promotion of CaBPs-Na2FDP@CaCl2. This study not only broadens the application of BPs in bone tumor therapy but also provides a versatile surface functionalization strategy for nanotherapeutic agents.

Abstract
Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years, resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such as bones and teeth to fulfill mechanical and biological functions, despite the fact that most inorganic biominerals that constitute biomineralized tissues are weak and brittle. During the long-period evolution process, nature has evolved a number of highly effective and smart strategies to design chemical compositions and structures of biomineralized tissues to enable superior properties and to adapt to surrounding environments. Most biomineralized tissues have hierarchically ordered structures consisting of very small building blocks on the nanometer scale (nanoparticles, nanofibers or nanoflakes) to reduce the inherent weaknesses and brittleness of corresponding inorganic biominerals, to prevent crack initiation and propagation, and to allow high defect tolerance. The bioinspired principles derived from biomineralized tissues are indispensable for designing and constructing high-performance biomimetic materials. In recent years, a large number of high-performance biomimetic materials have been prepared based on these bioinspired principles with a large volume of literature covering this topic. Therefore, a timely and comprehensive review on this hot topic is highly important and contributes to the future development of this rapidly evolving research field. This review article aims to be comprehensive, authoritative, and critical with wide general interest to the science community, summarizing recent advances in revealing the formation processes, composition, and structures of biomineralized tissues, providing in-depth insights into guidelines derived from biomineralized tissues for the design and construction of high-performance biomimetic materials, and discussing recent progress, current research trends, key problems, future main research directions and challenges, and future perspectives in this exciting and rapidly evolving research field.

Abstract
Despite a growing body of studies demonstrating the specific anti-tumor effect of nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA), the underlying mechanism remained unclear. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria are two key players in intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis and both require Ca2+ to participate. Moreover, the ER-mitochondria interplay coordinates the maintenance of cellular Ca2+ homeostasis to prevent any negative consequences from excess of Ca2+, hence there needs in-depth study of n-HA effect on them. In this study, we fabricated needle-like n-HA to investigate the anti-tumor effectiveness as well as the underlying mechanisms from cellular and molecular perspectives. Data from in vitro experiments indicated that the growth and invasion of glioma cells were obviously reduced with the aid of n-HA. It is interesting to note that the expression of ER stress biomarkers (GRP78, p-IRE1, p-PERK, PERK, and ATF6) were all upregulated after n-HA treatment, along with the activation of the pro-apoptotic transcription factor CHOP, showing that ER stress produced by n-HA triggered cell apoptosis. Moreover, the increased expression level of intracellular reactive oxygen species and the mitochondrial membrane depolarization, as well as the downstream cell apoptotic signaling activation, further demonstrated the pro-apoptotic roles of n-HA induced Ca2+ overload through inducing mitochondria damage. The in vivo data provided additional evidence that n-HA caused ER stress and mitochondria damage in cells and effectively restrain the growth of glioma tumors. Collectively, the work showed that n-HA co-activated intracellular ER stress and mitochondria damage are critical triggers for cancer cells apoptosis, offering fresh perspectives on ER-mitochondria targeted anti-tumor therapy.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed biodegradable polymer scaffolds are at the forefront of personalized constructs for bone tissue engineering. However, it remains challenging to create a biological microenvironment for bone growth. Herein, we developed a novel yet feasible approach to facilitate biomimetic mineralization via self-adaptive nanotopography, which overcomes difficulties in the surface biofunctionalization of 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. The building blocks of self-adaptive nanotopography were PCL lamellae that formed on the 3D-printed PCL scaffold via surface-directed epitaxial crystallization and acted as a linker to nucleate and generate hydroxyapatite crystals. Accordingly, a uniform and robust mineralized layer was immobilized throughout the scaffolds, which strongly bound to the strands and had no effect on the mechanical properties of the scaffolds. In vitro cell culture experiments revealed that the resulting scaffold was biocompatible and enhanced the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of mouse embryolous osteoblast cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the resulting scaffold showed a strong capability to accelerate in vivo bone regeneration using a rabbit bone defect model. This study provides valuable opportunities to enhance the application of 3D-printed scaffolds in bone repair, paving the way for translation to other orthopedic implants.

Abstract
Due to excellent biocompatibility, bioactivities, and osteoconductivity, hydroxyapatite (HAp) is considered as one of the most suitable biomaterials for numerous biomedical applications. Herein, HAp was fabricated using a bottom-up approach, i.e., a wet chemical method, and its composites with TiC, h-BN, and ZrO2 were fabricated by a solid-state reaction method with enhanced mechanical and biological performances. Structural, surface morphology, and mechanical behavior of the fabricated composites were characterized using various characterization techniques. Furthermore, transmission electron microscopy study revealed a randomly oriented rod-like morphology, with the length and width of these nanorods ranging from 78 to 122 and from 9 to 13 nm. Moreover, the mechanical characterizations of the composite HZBT4 (80HAp-10TiC-5h-BN-5ZrO2) reveal a very high compressive strength (246 MPa), which is comparable to that of the steel (250 MPa), fracture toughness (14.78 MPa m1/2), and Young's modulus (1.02 GPa). In order to check the biocompatibility of the composites, numerous biological tests were also performed on different body organs of healthy adult Sprague-Dawley rats. This study suggests that the composite HZBT4 could not reveal any significant influence on the hematological, serum biochemical, and histopathological parameters. Hence, the fabricated composite can be used for several biological applications, such as bone implants, bone grafting, and bone regeneration.

Abstract
In the face of the serious threat to human health and the economic burden caused by bacterial antibiotic resistance, 2D phosphorus nanomaterials have been widely used as antibacterial agents. Violet phosphorus nanosheets (VPNSs) are an exciting bandgap-adjustable 2D nanomaterial due to their good physicochemical properties, yet the study of VPNS-based antibiotics is still in its infancy. Here, a composite of gold nanorods (AuNRs) loaded onto VPNS platforms (VPNS/AuNR) is constructed to maximize the potential of VPNSs for antimicrobial applications. The loading with AuNRs not only enhances the photothermal performance via a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, but also enhances the light absorption capacity due to the narrowing of the band gap of the VPNSs, thus increasing the ROS generation capacity. The results demonstrate that VPNS/AuNR exhibits outstanding antibacterial properties and good biocompatibility. Attractively, VPNS/AuNR is then extensively tested for treating skin wound infections, suggesting promising in vivo antibacterial and wound-healing features. Our findings may open a novel direction to develop a versatile VPNS-based treatment platform, which can significantly boost the progress of VPNS exploration.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant bone neoplasm plagued by poor prognosis. Major treatment strategies include chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Chemotherapy to treat OS has severe adverse effects due to systemic toxicity to healthy cells. A possible way to overcome the limitation is to utilize nanotechnology. Nanotherapeutics is an emerging approach in treating OS using nanoparticulate drug delivery systems. Surgical resection of OS leaves a critical bone defect requiring medical intervention. Recently, tissue engineered scaffolds have been reported to provide physical support to bone defects and aid multimodal treatment of OS. These scaffolds loaded with nanoparticulate delivery systems could also actively repress tumor growth and aid new bone formation. The rapid developments in nanotherapeutics and bone tissue engineering have paved the way for improved treatment efficacy for OS-related bone defects. This review focuses on current bifunctional nanomaterials-based tissue engineered (NTE) scaffolds that use novel approaches such as magnetic hyperthermia, photodynamic therapy, photothermal therapy, bioceramic and polymeric nanotherapeutics against OS. With further optimization and screening, NTE scaffolds could meet clinical applications for treating OS patients.

Abstract
Large osseous void, postsurgical neoplastic recurrence, and slow bone-cartilage repair rate raise an imperative need to develop functional scaffold in clinical osteosarcoma treatment. Herein, a bionic bilayer scaffold constituting croconaine dye-polyethylene glycol@sodium alginate hydrogel and poly(l-lactide)/hydroxyapatite polymer matrix is fabricated to simultaneously achieve a highly efficient killing of osteosarcoma and an accelerated osteochondral regeneration. First, biomimetic osteochondral structure along with adequate interfacial interaction of the bilayer scaffold provide a structural reinforcement for transverse osseointegration and osteochondral regeneration, as evidenced by upregulated specific expressions of collagen type-I, osteopontin, and runt-related transcription factor 2. Meanwhile, thermal ablation of the synthesized nanoparticles and mitochondrial dysfunction caused by continuously released hydroxyapatite induce residual tumor necrosis synergistically. To validate the capabilities of inhibiting tumor growth and promoting osteochondral regeneration of our proposed scaffold, a novel orthotopic osteosarcoma model simulating clinical treatment scenarios of bone tumors is established on rats. Based on amounts of in vitro and in vivo results, an effective killing of osteosarcoma and a suitable osteal-microenvironment modulation of such bionic bilayer composite scaffold are achieved, which provides insightful implications for photonic hyperthermia therapy against osteosarcoma and following osseous tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering holds great promise for the regeneration of damaged or severe bone defects. However, several challenges hinder its translation into clinical practice. To address these challenges, interdisciplinary efforts and advances in biomaterials, cell biology, and bioengineering are required. In recent years, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA)-based scaffolds have emerged as a promising approach for the development of bone regenerative agents. The unique similarity of nHA with minerals found in natural bones promotes remineralization and stimulates bone growth, which are crucial factors for efficient bone regeneration. Moreover, nHA exhibits desirable properties, such as strong chemical interactions with bone and facilitation of tissue growth, without inducing inflammation or toxicity. It also promotes osteoblast survival, adhesion, and proliferation, as well as increasing alkaline phosphatase activity, osteogenic differentiation, and bone-specific gene expression. However, it is important to note that the effect of nHA on osteoblast behavior is dose-dependent, with cytotoxic effects observed at higher doses. Additionally, the particle size of nHA plays a crucial role, with smaller particles having a more significant impact. Therefore, in this review, we highlighted the potential of nHA for improving bone regeneration processes and summarized the available data on bone cell response to nHA-based scaffolds. In addition, an attempt is made to portray the current status of bone tissue engineering using nHA/polymer hybrids and some recent scientific research in the field.

Abstract
Calcium-based biomaterials have been intensively studied in the field of drug delivery owing to their excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Calcium-based materials can also deliver contrast agents, which can enhance real-time imaging and exert a Ca2+-interfering therapeutic effect. Based on these characteristics, amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), as a brunch of calcium-based biomaterials, has the potential to become a widely used biomaterial. Highly functional ACC can be either discovered in natural organisms or obtained by chemical synthesis However, the standalone presence of ACC is unstable in vivo. Additives are required to be used as stabilizers or core-shell structures formed by permeable layers or lipids with modified molecules constructed to maintain the stability of ACC until the ACC carrier reaches its destination. ACC has high chemical instability and can produce biocompatible products when exposed to an acidic condition in vivo, such as Ca2+ with an immune-regulating ability and CO2 with an imaging-enhancing ability. Owing to these characteristics, ACC has been studied for self-sacrificing templates of carrier construction, targeted delivery of oncology drugs, immunomodulation, tumor imaging, tissue engineering, and calcium supplementation. Emphasis in this paper has been placed on the origin, structural features, and multiple applications of ACC. Meanwhile, ACC faces many challenges in clinical translation, and long-term basic research is required to overcome these challenges. We hope that this study will contribute to future innovative research on ACC.

Abstract
In this study, nanocomposite scaffolds of hydroxyapatite (HA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin (Gel) with varying amounts of HA (42-52 wt. %), PCL (42-52 wt. %), and Gel (6 wt. %) were 3D printed. Subsequently, a scaffold with optimal mechanical properties was utilized as a carrier for doxorubicin (DOX) in the treatment of bone cancer. For this purpose, HA nanoparticles were first synthesized by the hydrothermal conversion of Acropora coral and characterized by using different techniques. Also, a compression test was performed to investigate the mechanical properties of the fabricated scaffolds. The mineralization of the optimal scaffold was determined by immersing it in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for 28 days, and the biocompatibility was investigated by seeding MG-63 osteoblast-like cells on it after 1-7 days. The obtained results showed that the average size of the synthesized HA particles was about 80 nm. The compressive modulus and strength of the scaffold with 47 wt. % HA was reported to be 0.29 GPa and 9.9 MPa, respectively, which was in the range of trabecular bones. In addition, the scaffold surface was entirely coated with an apatite layer after 28 days of soaking in SBF. Also, the efficiency and loading percentage of DOX were obtained as 30.8 and 1.6%, respectively. The drug release behavior was stable for 14 days. Cytotoxicity and adhesion evaluations showed that the fabricated scaffold had no negative effects on the viability of MG-63 cells and led to their proliferation during the investigated period. From these results, it can be concluded that the HA/PCL/Gel scaffold prepared in this study, in addition to its drug release capability, has good bioactivity, mechanical properties, and biocompatibility, and can be considered a suitable option for bone tumor treatment.

Performance of 3D printed porous polyetheretherketone composite scaffolds combined with nano-hydroxyapatite/carbon fiber in bone tissue engineering: a biological evaluation. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1343294. [PMID: 38333080 PMCID: PMC10850574 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1343294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024] Open
Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been one of the most promising materials in bone tissue engineering in recent years, with characteristics such as biosafety, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. However, the weak bioactivity of PEEK leads to its poor integration with bone tissues, restricting its application in biomedical fields. This research effectively fabricated composite porous scaffolds using a combination of PEEK, nano-hydroxyapatite (nHA), and carbon fiber (CF) by the process of fused deposition molding (FDM). The experimental study aimed to assess the impact of varying concentrations of nHA and CF on the biological performance of scaffolds. The incorporation of 10% CF has been shown to enhance the overall mechanical characteristics of composite PEEK scaffolds, including increased tensile strength and improved mechanical strength. Additionally, the addition of 20% nHA resulted in a significant increase in the surface roughness of the scaffolds. The high hydrophilicity of the PEEK composite scaffolds facilitated the in vitro inoculation of MC3T3-E1 cells. The findings of the study demonstrated that the inclusion of 20% nHA and 10% CF in the scaffolds resulted in improved cell attachment and proliferation compared to other scaffolds. This suggests that the incorporation of 20% nHA and 10% CF positively influenced the properties of the scaffolds, potentially facilitating bone regeneration. In vitro biocompatibility experiments showed that PEEK composite scaffolds have good biosafety. The investigation on osteoblast differentiation revealed that the intensity of calcium nodule staining intensified, along with an increase in the expression of osteoblast transcription factors and alkaline phosphatase activities. These findings suggest that scaffolds containing 20% nHA and 10% CF have favorable properties for bone induction. Hence, the integration of porous PEEK composite scaffolds with nHA and CF presents a promising avenue for the restoration of bone defects using materials in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The resection of malignant osteosarcoma often results in large segmental bone defects, and the residual cells can facilitate recurrence. Consequently, the treatment of osteosarcoma is a major challenge in clinical practice. The ideal goal of treatment for osteosarcoma is to eliminate it thoroughly, and repair the resultant bone defects as well as avoid bacterial infections. Herein, we fabricated a selenium/strontium/zinc-doped hydroxyapatite (Se/Sr/Zn-HA) powder by hydrothermal method, and then employed it with polycaprolactone (PCL) as ink to construct composite scaffolds through 3D printing, and finally introduced them in bone defect repair induced by malignant osteosarcoma. The resultant composite scaffolds integrated multiple functions involving anti-tumor, osteogenic, and antibacterial potentials, mainly attributed to the anti-tumor effects of SeO32-, osteogenic effects of Sr2+ and Zn2+, and antibacterial effects of SeO32- and Zn2+. In vitro studies confirmed that Se/Sr/Zn-HA leaching solution could induce apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells, differentiation of MSCs, and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 while showing excellent antibacterial properties. In vivo tests demonstrated that Se/Sr/Zn-HA could significantly suppress tumors after 8 days of injection, and the Se/Sr/Zn-HA-PCLs scaffold repaired femoral defects effectively after 3 months of implantation. Summarily, the Se/Sr/Zn-HA-PCLs composite scaffolds developed in this study were effective for tumor treatment, bone defect repair, and post-operative anti-infection, which provided a great potential to be a facile therapeutic material for osteosarcoma resection.

Multiphasic bone-ligament-bone integrated scaffold enhances ligamentization and graft-bone integration after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Bioact Mater 2024; 31:178-191.

Abstract
The escalating prevalence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in sports necessitates innovative strategies for ACL reconstruction. In this study, we propose a multiphasic bone-ligament-bone (BLB) integrated scaffold as a potential solution. The BLB scaffold comprised two polylactic acid (PLA)/deferoxamine (DFO)@mesoporous hydroxyapatite (MHA) thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) scaffolds bridged by silk fibroin (SF)/connective tissue growth factor (CTGF)@Poly(l-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) nanofiber yarn braided scaffold. This combination mimics the native architecture of the ACL tissue. The mechanical properties of the BLB scaffolds were determined to be compatible with the human ACL. In vitro experiments demonstrated that CTGF induced the expression of ligament-related genes, while TIPS scaffolds loaded with MHA and DFO enhanced the osteogenic-related gene expression of bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) and promoted the migration and tubular formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In rabbit models, the BLB scaffold efficiently facilitated ligamentization and graft-bone integration processes by providing bioactive substances. The double delivery of DFO and calcium ions by the BLB scaffold synergistically promoted bone regeneration, while CTGF improved collagen formation and ligament healing. Collectively, the findings indicate that the BLB scaffold exhibits substantial promise for ACL reconstruction. Additional investigation and advancement of this scaffold may yield enhanced results in the management of ACL injuries.

Abstract
After resection of bone tumour, the risk of cancer recurrence and numerous bone defects continues to threaten the health of patients. To overcome the challenge, we developed a novel multifunctional scaffold material consisting mainly of nano-hydroxyapatite particles (n-HA), MXene nanosheets and g-C3N4 to prevent tumour recurrence and promote bone formation. N-HA has the potential to restrict the growth of osteosarcoma cells, and the combination of MXene and g-C3N4 enables the scaffolds to produce photodynamic and photothermal effects simultaneously under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. Surprisingly, n-HA can further enhance the synergistic anti-tumour function of photodynamic and photothermal, and the scaffolds can eradicate osteosarcoma cells in only 10 min at a mild temperature of 45 ℃. Moreover, the scaffold exhibit exceptional cytocompatibility and possesses the capacity to induce osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Therefore, this multifunctional scaffold can not only inhibits the proliferation of bone tumour cells and rapidly eradicate bone tumour through NIR irradiation, but also enhances osteogenic activity. This promising measure can be used to treat tissue damage after bone tumour resection.

Abstract
Aggressive benign, malignant and metastatic bone tumors can greatly decrease the quality of patients' lives and even lead to substantial mortality. Several clinical therapeutic strategies have been developed to treat bone tumors, including preoperative chemotherapy, surgical resection of the tumor tissue, and subsequent systemic chemo- or radiotherapy. However, those strategies are associated with inevitable drawbacks, such as severe side effects, substantial local tumor recurrence, and difficult-to-treat bone defects after tumor resection. To overcome these shortcomings and achieve satisfactory clinical outcomes, advanced bifunctional biomaterials which simultaneously promote bone regeneration and combat bone tumor growth are increasingly advocated. These bifunctional bone substitute materials fill bone defects following bone tumor resection and subsequently exert local anticancer effects. Here we describe various types of the most prevalent bone tumors and provide an overview of common treatment options. Subsequently, we review current progress regarding the development of bifunctional bone substitute materials combining osteogenic and anticancer efficacy. To this end, we categorize these biomaterials based on their anticancer mechanism deriving from i) intrinsic biomaterial properties, ii) local drug release of anticancer agents, and iii) oxidative stress-inducing and iv) hyperthermia-inducing biomaterials. Consequently, this review offers researchers, surgeons and oncologists an up-to-date overview of our current knowledge on bone tumors, their treatment options, and design of advanced bifunctional biomaterials with strong potential for clinical application in oncological orthopedics.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the third most common malignancy in adolescence. Currently, the treatments of OS confront great obstacles of tumor recurrence and critical bone defects after surgery, severely affecting the survival rates and living qualities of patients. Hence, it is urged to develop distinct biomaterials with both efficient tumor therapeutic and osteogenic functions. Although photothermal therapy (PTT) has aroused expanding interest, characterizing negligible invasiveness and high spatiotemporal adjustment, few studies discussed its drawbacks, such as thermal injury to adjacent normal tissue and exceeded laser power density, implying that focusing on sensitizing OS to PTT instead of simply elevating the laser power density may be a fresh way to enhance the PTT efficacy and attenuate the side/adverse effects. Herein, we successfully constructed 3D-printing silicene bioactive glass scaffolds with preferable PTT efficacy at the second near-infrared (NIR-II) biowindow and outstanding osteogenic biofunctions owing to the release of bioactive elements during degradation. Impressively, a histone demethylase inhibitor, IOX1, was introduced before PTT to sensitize OS to thermal therapy and minimize the side/adverse effects. This work offered a distinctive paradigm for optimizing the PTT efficacy of osteogenic scaffolds against OS with epigenetic modulation agents.
