Abstract
Injectable hydrogels are promising for treatment of bone defects in clinic owing to their minimally invasive procedure. Currently, there is limited emphasis on how to utilize injectable hydrogels to mobilize body's regenerative potential for enhancing bone regeneration. Herein, an injectable bone-mimicking hydrogel (BMH) scaffold assembled from nanocomposite microgel building blocks was developed, in which a highly interconnected microporous structure and an inorganic/organic (methacrylated hydroxyapatite and methacrylated gelatin) interweaved nano structure were well-designed. Compared with hydrogels lacking micro-nano structures or only showing microporous structure, the BMH scaffold enhanced the ingrowth of vessels and promoted the formation of dense cellular networks (including stem cells and M2 macrophages), across the entire scaffold at early stage after subcutaneous implantation. Moreover, the BMH scaffold could not only directly trigger osteogenic differentiation of the infiltrated stem cells, but also provided an instructive osteo-immune microenvironment by inducing macrophages into M2 phenotype. Mechanistically, our results reveal that the nano-rough structure of the BMH plays an essential role in inducing macrophage M2 polarization through activating mechanotransduction related RhoA/ROCK2 pathway. Overall, this work offers an injectable hydrogel with micro-nano structure driven bio-responsive abilities, highlighting harnessing body's inherent regenerative potential to realize bone regeneration.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024:e2400242.

Abstract
Maxillofacial bone defects exhibit intricate anatomy and irregular morphology, presenting challenges for effective treatment. This study aimed to address these challenges by developing an injectable bioactive composite microsphere, termed D-P-Ak (polydopamine-PLGA-akermanite), designed to fit within the defect site while minimizing injury. The D-P-Ak microspheres biodegraded gradually, releasing calcium, magnesium, and silicon ions, which, notably, not only directly stimulated the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) but also activated sensory nerve cells to secrete calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a key factor in bone repair. Moreover, the released CGRP enhanced the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs through epigenetic methylation modification. Specifically, inhibition of EZH2 and enhancement of KDM6A reduced the trimethylation level of histone 3 at lysine 27 (H3K27), thereby activating the transcription of osteogenic genes such as Runx2 and Osx. The efficacy of the bioactive microspheres in bone repair is validated in a rat mandibular defect model, demonstrating that peripheral nerve response facilitates bone regeneration through epigenetic modification. These findings illuminated a novel strategy for constructing neuroactive osteo-inductive biomaterials with potential for further clinical applications.

Abstract
Achieving satisfactory bone tissue regeneration in osteoporotic patients with ordinary biomaterials is challenging because of the decreased bone mineral density and aberrant bone microenvironment. In addressing this issue, a biomimetic scaffold (PMEH/SP), incorporating 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR), and substance P (SP) into the poly(lactic-go-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold with magnesium hydroxide (M) and extracellular matrix (E) is introduced, enabling the consecutive release of bioactive agents. 4HR and SP induced the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and ERK in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), thereby upregulating VEGF expression level. The migration and tube-forming ability of endothelial cells can be promoted by the scaffold, which accelerates the formation and maturation of the bone. Moreover, 4HR played a crucial role in the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by interrupting the IκB/NF-κB signaling pathway and exhibiting SP, thereby enhancing the migration and angiogenesis of HUVECs. Based on such a synergistic effect, osteoporosis can be suppressed, and bone regeneration can be achieved by inhibiting the RANKL pathway in vitro and in vivo, which is a commonly known mechanism of bone physiology. Therefore, the study presents a promising approach for developing a multifunctional regenerative material for sophisticated osteoporotic bone regeneration.

Abstract
Revascularization after rotator cuff repair is crucial for tendon-to-bone healing. The chirality of materials has been reported to influence their performance in tissue repair. However, data on the use of chiral structures to optimize biomaterials as a revascularization strategy remain scarce. Here, calcium silicate hydrate (CSO) films with hierarchical chirality on the atomic to micrometer scale are developed. Interestingly, levorotatory CSO (L-CSO) films promote the migration and angiogenesis of endothelial cells, whereas dextral and racemic CSO films do not induce the same effects. Molecular analysis demonstrates that L-chirality can be recognized by integrin receptors and leads to the formation of focal adhesion, which activates mechanosensitive ion channel transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 to conduct Ca2+ influx. Consequently, the phosphorylation of serum response factor is biased by Ca2+ influx to promote the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 signaling pathway, resulting in enhanced angiogenesis. After implanted in a rat rotator cuff tear model, L-CSO films strongly enhance vascularization at the enthesis, promoting collagen maturation, increasing bone and fibrocartilage formation, and eventually improving the biomechanical strength. This study reveals the mechanism through which chirality influences angiogenesis in endothelial cells and provides a critical theoretical foundation for the clinical application of chiral biomaterials.

Abstract
AIM This study investigated the adjunctive effect of polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) on bone formation in alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) sockets. MATERIALS AND METHODS Both mandibular second, third and fourth premolars of eight beagle dogs were randomly divided into ARP and ARP/PDRN groups. Following tooth extraction, ARP procedures were conducted using collagenized alloplastic graft material and bilayer collagen membrane soaked with normal saline (ARP group) or PDRN (ARP/PDRN group) for 10 min before application. Both groups were also randomly allocated to 2-, 4- or 12-week healing subgroups. The primary endpoint of this study was to compare histomorphometric differences between ARP and ARP/PDRN. The secondary endpoints of this study were to compare micro-CT analysis and three-dimensional volumetric measurement between the two groups. RESULTS In the histomorphometric analysis, the ARP/PDRN group exhibited greater new bone formation at coronal, middle and total position compared with the ARP group at 2-week healing. The number of newly formed blood vessels was higher in the ARP/PDRN group than in the ARP group at 2- and 4-week healing. In micro-CT analysis, the mean new bone volume/total bone volume between ARP and ARP/PDRN was statistically significant at 2-week healing. Ridge volume alterations were significantly decreased in the ARP/PDRN group during entire healing time compared with the ARP group, especially on the buccal side. CONCLUSIONS The application of PDRN in ARP might provide additional benefits for early bone regeneration and maintenance of buccal ridge volume.

Abstract
Bone defects pose significant challenges in orthopedic surgery, often leading to suboptimal outcomes and complications. Addressing these challenges, we employed a three-electrode electrochemical system to fabricate surface-controlled polyaniline nano-tulips (PANINTs) decorated polycaprolactone (PCL) reinforced chitosan functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (CS-f-Fe2O3) scaffolds. These structures were designed to emulate the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) and promote enhanced osseointegration by establishing a continuous interface between host bone and graft, thereby improving both biological processes and mechanical stability. In vitro experiments demonstrated that PANINTs-PCL/CS-f-Fe2O3 substrates significantly promoted the proliferation, differentiation, and spontaneous outgrowth and extension of MC3T3-E1 cell activity. The nanomaterials exhibited increased cell viability and osteogenic differentiation, as evidenced by elevated expression of bone-related markers such as ALP, ARS, COL-I, RUNX2, and SPP-I, as determined by qRT-PCR. Our findings underscore the regenerative potential of in situ cell culture systems for bone defects, emphasizing the targeted stimulation of essential cell subpopulations to facilitate rapid bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polynucleotides (PN) are becoming more prominent in aesthetic medicine. However, the structural characteristics of PN have not been published and PN from different companies may have different structural characteristics. This study aimed to elucidate the structural attributes of DOT™ PN and distinguish differences with polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) using high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. MATERIALS AND METHODS DOT™ PN was examined using a Quanta 3-D field emission gun (FEG) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Sample preparation involved cryogenic cooling, cleavage, etching, and metal coating to facilitate high-resolution imaging. Cryo-FIB/SEM techniques were employed for in-depth structural analysis. RESULTS PDRN exhibited an amorphous structure without distinct features. In contrast, DOT™ PN displayed well-defined polyhedral shapes with smooth, uniformly thick walls. These cells were empty, with diameters ranging from 3 to 8 micrometers, forming a seamless tessellation pattern. DISCUSSION DOT™ PN's distinct geometric tessellation design conforms to the principles of biotensegrity, providing both structural reinforcement and integrity. The presence of delicate partitions and vacant compartments hints at possible uses in the field of pharmaceutical delivery systems. Within the realms of beauty enhancement and regenerative medicine, DOT™ PN's capacity to bolster cell growth and tissue mending could potentially transform approaches to rejuvenation treatments. Its adaptability becomes apparent when considering its contributions to drug administration and surgical procedures. CONCLUSION This study unveils the intricate structural scaffold features of DOT™ PN for the first time, setting it apart from PDRN and inspiring innovation in biomedicine and materials science. DOT™ PN's unique attributes open doors to potential applications across healthcare and beyond.

Abstract
In the last 30 years, there are ≈60 000 publications about electrospun nanofibers, but it is still unclear whether nanoscale fibers are really necessary for electrospun tissue engineering scaffolds. The present report puts forward this argument and reveals that compared with electrospun nanofibers, microfibers with diameter of ≈3 µm (named as "oligo-micro fiber") are more appropriate for tissue engineering scaffolds owing to their better cell infiltration ability caused by larger pores with available nuclear deformation. To further increase pore sizes, electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds are fabricated using latticed collectors with meshes. Fiber orientation leads to sufficient mechanical strength albeit increases porosity. The latticed scaffolds exhibit good biocompatibility and improve cell infiltration. Under aortic conditions in vitro, the performances of latticed scaffolds are satisfactory in terms of the acute systolic hemodynamic functionality, except for the higher regurgitation fraction caused by the enlarged pores. This hierarchical electrospun scaffold with sparse fibers in macropores and oligo-micro fibers in filaments provides new insights into the design of tissue engineering scaffolds, and tissue engineering may provide living heart valves with regenerative capabilities for patients with severe valve disease in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Linezolid has been reported to protect against chronic bone and joint infection. In this study, linezolid was loaded into the 3D printed poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffold with nano-hydroxyapatite (HA) to explore the effect of this composite scaffold on infected bone defect (IBD). METHODS PLGA scaffolds were produced using the 3D printing method. Drug release of linezolid was analyzed by elution and high-performance liquid chromatography assay. PLGA, PLGA-HA, and linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds, were implanted into the defect site of a rabbit radius defect model. Micro-CT, H&E, and Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry were performed to analyze bone infection and bone healing. Evaluation of viable bacteria was performed. The cytocompatibility of 3D-printed composite scaffolds in vitro was detected using human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Long-term safety of the scaffolds in rabbits was evaluated. RESULTS The linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds exhibited a sustained release of linezolid and showed significant antibacterial effects. In the IBD rabbit models implanted with the scaffolds, the linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds promoted bone healing and attenuated bone infection. The PLGA-HA scaffolds carrying linezolid upregulated the expression of osteogenic genes including collagen I, runt-related transcription factor 2, and osteocalcin. The linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds promoted the proliferation and osteogenesis of BMSCs in vitro via the PI3K/AKT pathway. Moreover, the rabbits implanted with the linezolid-loaded scaffolds showed normal biochemical profiles and normal histology, which suggested the safety of the linezolid-loaded scaffolds. CONCLUSION Overall, the linezolid-loaded PLGA-HA scaffolds fabricated by 3D printing exerts significant bone repair and anti-infection effects.

It seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the different ingredients used in skin boosters, their roles, and their impact on enhancing dermal conditions. METHODS A comprehensive review was conducted, focusing on representative skin booster ingredients. The approach involved analyzing the different elements used in skin boosters and their specific roles in enhancing dermal improvement. RESULTS The findings indicate that skin boosters, encompassing a range of ingredients, are effective in improving the condition of the skin's dermis. The review identifies key ingredients in skin boosters and their specific benefits, including hydration, elasticity improvement, and wrinkle reduction. CONCLUSIONS Skin boosters represent a significant development in dermatological treatments, offering diverse benefits beyond traditional HA fillers. This review provides valuable insights into the constituents of skin boosters and their effectiveness, aiding readers in making informed decisions about these treatments. The potential of skin boosters in dermatological practice is considerable, warranting further research and application.

Abstract
Bacterial infection represents a prevalent challenge during the bone repair process, often resulting in implant failure. However, the extensive use of antibiotics has limited local antibacterial effects at the infection site and is prone to side effects. In order to address the issue of bacterial infection during the transplantation of bone implants, four types of bone scaffold implants with long-term antimicrobial functionality have been constructed, including direct contact antimicrobial scaffold, dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold, photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold, and multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold. The direct contact antimicrobial scaffold involves the physical penetration or disruption of bacterial cell membranes by the scaffold surface or hindrance of bacterial adhesion through surface charge, microstructure, and other factors. The dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold releases antimicrobial substances from the scaffold's interior through degradation and other means to achieve local antimicrobial effects. The photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold utilizes the absorption of light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with enhanced chemical reactivity for antimicrobial activity. ROS can cause damage to bacterial cell membranes, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, and other components. The multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold involves the combined use of multiple antimicrobial methods to achieve synergistic effects and effectively overcome the limitations of individual antimicrobial approaches. Additionally, the biocompatibility issues of the antimicrobial bone scaffold are also discussed, including in vitro cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, as well as in vivo bone repair and vascularization. Finally, the challenges and prospects of antimicrobial bone implants are summarized. The development of antimicrobial bone implants can provide effective solutions to bacterial infection issues in bone defect repair in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
A multifunctional alginate/PDRN hydrogel system by ionic crosslinking and the Schiff base reaction between oxidized alginate (OA) and PDRN was developed in the present study. Biocompatibility assessment of the PDRN-loaded OA hydrogels showed a significant enhancement in cell viability in human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells. In addition, hydrogels showed migratory, anti-inflammatory, intracellular reactive oxygen species scavenging, and anti-apoptotic activities. In vivo studies using a streptozotocin-induced diabetic Wister rat model indicated that OA-4PDRN had the highest percentage of wound closure (96.1 ± 2.6 %) at day 14 compared to the control (79.0 ± 2.3 %) group. This was accompanied by up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) accompanied by down-regulation of pro-inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-1β). Following histopathological observations, PDRN-loaded OA hydrogel ensured tissue safety and induced wound healing with granular tissue formation, collagen deposition, re-epithelialization, and regeneration of blood vessels and hair follicles. The downregulation of inflammatory cytokines (CD68) and expression of angiogenesis-related cytokines (CD31) in wound sites revealed the suppression of inflammation and increased angiogenesis, ensuring skin tissue regeneration in diabetic wound healing. In conclusion, the findings suggest that PDRN-loaded OA hydrogel has enormous therapeutic potential as a diabetic wound dressing.

Abstract
Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of 3D porous scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility, tunable porosity, and pore interconnectivity, sufficient mechanical strength, controlled biodegradability, and favorable osteogenesis for improved results in cranioplasty. However, clinical translation of these scaffolds has lagged far behind, mainly because of the absence of a series of biological evaluations. Herein, we designed and fabricated a composite 3D porous scaffold composed of poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA), β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and Mg using the low-temperature deposition manufacturing (LDM) technique. The LDM-engineered scaffolds possessed highly porous and interconnected microstructures with a porosity of 63%. Meanwhile, the scaffolds exhibited mechanical properties close to that of cancellous bone, as confirmed by the compression tests. It was also found that the original composition of scaffolds could be maintained throughout the fabrication process. Particularly, two important biologic evaluations designed for non-active medical devices, i.e., local effects after implantation and subchronic systemic toxicity tests, were conducted to evaluate the local and systemic toxicity of the scaffolds. Additionally, the scaffolds exhibited significant higher mRNA levels of osteogenic genes compared to control scaffolds, as confirmed by an in vitro osteogenic differentiation test of MC3T3-E1 cells. Finally, we demonstrated the improved cranial bone regeneration performance of the scaffolds in a rabbit model. We envision that our investigation could pave the way for translating the LDM-engineered composite scaffolds into clinical products for cranial bone regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels have attracted tremendous attention as favorable corneal substitutes for treating severe infectious keratitis (IK). However, current hydrogel-based corneal substitutes were majorly designed to promote the single stage of corneal regeneration, which falls short in meeting the clinical management needs of severe IK including the multiple phases of corneal wound healing. Herein, we introduce a versatile hybrid hydrogel (SQPV) composed of silk fibroin and chitosan, which exhibits spatiotemporal properties for drug release. The SQPV is fabricated by incorporating verteporfin-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic)-polyethylene glycol-o-nitrobenzene micelles into a hydrogel network, which is formed from methacrylate silk fibroin and glycidyl methacrylate functionalized quaternized chitosan containing polydeoxyribonucleotide. This double network approach results in a material with exceptional anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and proliferative stimulation and tissue remodeling regulation capabilities. Furthermore, SQPV showcases mechanical strength and transparency akin to those of native cornea. Extensive in vitro and in vivo studies validate SQPV's ability to effectively eliminate residual bacteria, mitigate inflammation, foster regeneration of corneal epithelium and stroma, prevent corneal scarring, and ultimately expedite wound healing. In summary, the SF/CS-based hybrid hydrogel may represent a promising substitute for comprehensive corneal repair and regeneration in severe IK.

Abstract
AIM Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is a chain-like polymer derived from DNA. Recent in vitro and animal studies have showcased the beneficial impacts of PDRN on the process of bone mending, whether used on its own or in conjunction with other substances that aid in regeneration. This scoping review aims to synthesize the current understanding of how PDRNs influence bone healing. MATERIALS AND METHODS The studies included in the screening procedure were randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), both retrospective and prospective case-control studies, as well as in vitro and in vivo investigations. Articles were sourced from PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Google Scholar electronic databases using the following MeSH terms: (polydeoxyribonucleotide) and (bone) and (regeneration). RESULTS Initially, 228 articles were identified. Following the review process, a total of eight studies were ultimately examined. Among these, two were confined to laboratory studies, five were conducted on living organisms, and one encompassed both evaluations on living organisms and in vitro assessments. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed to present the data extracted from the studies that were included. CONCLUSIONS PDRN has the potential to enhance the process of bone healing and the quantity of newly generated bone when combined with grafting materials. Future clinical studies are warranted to ascertain the appropriate clinical application of PDRN based on the dosage under consideration.

Abstract
Stem-cell-based therapeutics have shown immense potential in treating various diseases that are currently incurable. In particular, partial recovery of Parkinson's disease, which occurs due to massive loss or abnormal functionality of dopaminergic (DAnergic) neurons, through the engraftment of stem-cell-derived neurons ex vivo is reported. However, precise assessment of the functionality and maturity of DAnergic neurons is still challenging for their enhanced clinical efficacy. Here, a novel conductive cell cultivation platform, a graphene oxide (GO)-incorporated metallic polymer nanopillar array (GOMPON), that can electrochemically detect dopamine (DA) exocytosis from living DAnergic neurons, is reported. In the cell-free configuration, the linear range is 0.5-100 µm, with a limit of detection of 33.4 nm. Owing to its excellent biocompatibility, a model DAnergic neuron (SH-SY5Y cell) can be cultivated and differentiated on the platform while their DA release can be quantitatively measured in a real-time and nondestructive manner. Finally, it is showed that the functionality of the DAnergic neurons derived from stem cells can be precisely assessed via electrochemical detection of their DA exocytosis. The developed GOMPON is highly promising for a wide range of applications, including real-time monitoring of stem cell differentiation into neuronal lineages, evaluating differentiation protocols, and finding practical stem cell therapies.

Abstract
Critical-size skull defects caused by trauma, infection, and tumor resection raise great demands for efficient bone substitutes. Herein, a hybrid cross-linked hierarchical microporous hydrogel scaffold (PHCLS) was successfully assembled by a multistep procedure, which involved (i) the preparation of poly(lactic-co-glycolic)/nanohydroxyapatite (PLGA-HAP) porous microspheres, (ii) embedding the spheres in a solution of dopamine-modified hyaluronic acid and collagen I (Col I) and cross-linking via dopamine polyphenols binding to (i) Col I amino groups (via Michael addition) and (ii) PLGA-HAP (via calcium ion chelation). The introduction of PLGA-HAP not only improved the diversity of pore size and pore communication inside the matrix but also greatly enhanced the compressive strength (5.24-fold, 77.5 kPa) and degradation properties to construct a more stable mechanical structure. In particular, the PHCLS (200 mg, nHAP) promoted the proliferation, infiltration, and angiogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro, as well as significant ectopic angiogenesis and mineralization with a storage modulus enhancement of 2.5-fold after 30 days. Meanwhile, the appropriate matrix microenvironment initiated angiogenesis and early osteogenesis by accelerating endogenous stem cell recruitment in situ. Together, the PHCLS allowed substantial skull reconstruction in the rabbit cranial defect model, achieving 85.2% breaking load strength and 84.5% bone volume fractions in comparison to the natural cranium, 12 weeks after implantation. Overall, this study reveals that the hierarchical microporous hydrogel scaffold provides a promising strategy for skull defect treatment.

Abstract
Repairing infected bone defects remains a severe challenge due to antibiotic abuse and recurrence. Hence, we modified magnetocaloric Fe3O4 nanoparticles and added them to magnesium calcium phosphate bone cement (MCPC) to fabricate multifunctional magnetic composites for sequential bacterial inhibition, angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Nevertheless, high doses of Mg ions and Fe ions were released from MCPC, which adversely affected osteogenesis. Thus, Fe3O4 was modified using gelatin according to the emulsification crosslinking method, which exhibited a controllable magnetocaloric effect and degradation behavior, and favorable anti-bacterial ability under the action of an alternating magnetic field (AMF). In the early stage, the residual MgO created a local strong alkaline microenvironment by hydrolysis, which inhibited the function and activity of S. aureus and E. coli. At the later stage, the MCPC composites were controllably degraded under the function of gelatin and maintained a long-term local slight alkaline microenvironment that promoted the osteogenic differentiation and mineralization of BMSCs. In vivo subcutaneous implantation experiments further indicated that MCPC composites showed good biocompatibility and facilitated angiogenesis, presenting a promising future in magnetic materials design and infectious bone defect repair.

Abstract
This study investigated early bone formation using collagenated biphasic calcium phosphate (CBCP) with or without polynucleotide (PDRN). Third (P3) or fourth (P4) premolars of six male beagle dogs were extracted and 5-mm-high dehiscence defects were created, followed by 3D-printed implant placement. The buccal bone defects were grafted with (i) CBCP and collagen membrane or (ii) CBCP soaked in polydeoxyribonucleotide (CBCP/PDRN) and collagen membrane. Samples of the experimental sites were harvested at 2- and 6-weeks post-surgery. The specimens were evaluated with radiologic and histomorphometric analysis. No significant differences were found between the CBCP and CBCP/PDRN groups in the micro-CT analysis at 2 or 6 weeks. No significant differences were observed in bone-to-implant contact (BIC) or bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) in buccal augmented and lingual non-augmented areas. In the qualitative analysis, the new bone (NB) area and NB proportion in buccal augmented areas showed significantly higher values in the CBCP/PDRN group than in the CBCP group at 2 and 6 weeks. Peri-implant buccal dehiscence defects with immediate 3D-printed implant placement were corrected using a collagen membrane and CBCP or CBCP/PDRN. PDRN might have the potential to facilitate early bone formation with sufficient stability over time in dehiscence defects.

A nano-conductive osteogenic hydrogel to locally promote calcium influx for electro-inspired bone defect regeneration. Biomaterials 2023; 301:122266. [PMID: 37597298 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2023.122266] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Revised: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 08/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/21/2023]
Abstract
Conductive nano-materials and electrical stimulation (ES) have been recognized as a synergetic therapy for ordinary excitable tissue repair. It is worth noting that hard tissues, such as bone tissue, possess bioelectrical properties as well. However, insufficient attention is paid to the synergetic therapy for bone defect regeneration via conductive biomaterials with ES. Here, a novel nano-conductive hydrogel comprising calcium phosphate-PEDOT:PSS-magnesium titanate-methacrylated alginate (CPM@MA) was synthesized for electro-inspired bone tissue regeneration. The nano-conductive CPM@MA hydrogel has demonstrated excellent electroactivity, biocompatibility, and osteoinductivity. Additionally, it has the potential to enhance cellular functionality by increasing endogenous transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) and activating TGF-β/Smad2 signaling pathway. The synergetic therapy could facilitate intracellular calcium enrichment, resulting in a 5.8-fold increase in calcium concentration compared to the control group in the CPM@MA ES + group. The nano-conductive CPM@MA hydrogel with ES could significantly promote electro-inspired bone defect regeneration in vivo, uniquely allowing a full repair of rat femoral defect within 4 weeks histologically and mechanically. These results demonstrate that our synergistic strategy effectively promotes bone restoration, thereby offering potential advancements in the field of electro-inspired hard tissue regeneration using novel nano-materials with ES.

Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury results in permanent and serious neurological impairment, but there is no effective treatment yet. Tissue engineering approaches offer great potential for the treatment of SCI, but spinal cord complexity poses great challenges. In this study, the composite scaffold consists of a hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel, decellularized brain matrix (DBM), and bioactive compounds such as polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), tumor necrosis factor-α/interferon-γ primed mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (TI-EVs), and human embryonic stem cell-derived neural progenitor cells (NPC). The composite scaffold showed significant effects on regenerative prosses including angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, anti-apoptosis, and neural differentiation. In addition, the composite scaffold (DBM/PDRN/TI-EV/NPC@Gel) induced an effective spinal cord regeneration in a rat spinal cord transection model. Therefore, this multimodal approach using an integrated bioactive scaffold coupled with biochemical cues from PDRN and TI-EVs could be used as an advanced tissue engineering platform for spinal cord regeneration.

Abstract
The local application of drug-loaded bioactive scaffold materials is one of the important directions to solve the clinical problem of osteoporotic (OP) bone defects. This study retains the advantages of drug loading and mechanical properties of natural 3D bioactive scaffolds. The scaffolds are functionally modified through chemical and self-assembly approaches with application of polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles and parathyroid hormone-related peptide-1 (PTHrP-1) for efficient local drug loading. This study investigates the effects of the novel bioactive scaffolds on ossification, osteoclastogenesis, and macrophage polarization. This work elucidates the effects of the scaffolds in regulating osteoclastic activity and new bone formation in vitro. Further studies on the establishment and repair of OP bone defects in small animals are conducted, and the potential of natural bioactive porous scaffold materials to promote the repair of OP bone defects is initially verified. The preparation of safe and economical anti-OP bone repair material provides a theoretical basis for clinical translational applications.

Abstract
A photoactivated bone scaffold integrated with minimally invasive implantation and mild thermal-stimulation capability shows great promise in the repair and regeneration of irregularly damaged bone tissues. Developing multifunctional photothermal biomaterials that can simultaneously serve as both controllable thermal stimulators and biodegradable engineering scaffolds for integrated immunomodulation, infection therapy, and impaired bone repair remains an enormous challenge. Herein, an injectable and photocurable hydrogel therapeutic platform (AMAD/MP) based on alginate methacrylate, alginate-graft-dopamine, and polydopamine (PDA)-functionalized Ti3C2 MXene (MXene@PDA) nanosheets is rationally designed for near-infrared (NIR)-mediated bone regeneration synergistic immunomodulation, osteogenesis, and bacterial elimination. The optimized AMAD/MP hydrogel exhibits favorable biocompatibility, osteogenic activity, and immunomodulatory functions in vitro. The proper immune microenvironment provided by AMAD/MP could further modulate the balance of M1/M2 phenotypes of macrophages, thereby suppressing reactive oxygen species-induced inflammatory status. Significantly, this multifunctional hydrogel platform with mild thermal stimulation efficiently attenuates local immune reactions and further promotes new bone formation without the addition of exogenous cells, cytokines, or growth factors. This work highlights the potential application of an advanced multifunctional hydrogel providing photoactivated on-demand thermal cues for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Therapeutic bioengineering based on stem cell therapy holds great promise in biomedical applications. However, the application of this treatment is limited in orthopedics because of their poor survival, weak localization, and low cell retention. In this work, magneto-mechanical bioengineered cells consisting of magnetic silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are prepared to alleviate osteoporosis. The magneto-mechanical bioengineered MSCs with spatial localization, cell retention, and directional tracking capabilities could be mediated by a guided magnetic field (MF) in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, high uptake rates of the MSNPs ensure the efficient construction of magnetically controlled MSCs within 2 h. In conjunction with external MF, the magneto-mechanical bioengineered MSCs have the potential for the activation of the YAP/β-catenin signaling pathway, which could further promote osteogenesis, mineralization, and angiogenesis. The synergistic effects of MSNPs and guided MF could also decline bone resorption to rebalance bone metabolism in bone loss diseases. In vivo experiments confirm that the functional MSCs and guided MF could effectively alleviate postmenopausal osteoporosis, and the bone mass of the treated osteoporotic bones by using the bioengineered cells for 6 weeks is nearly identical to that of the healthy ones. Our results provide a new avenue for osteoporosis management and treatment, which contribute to the future advancement of magneto-mechanical bioengineering and treatment.

Abstract
Chronic wounds in diabetic patients are challenging because their prolonged inflammation makes healing difficult, thus burdening patients, society, and health care systems. Customized dressing materials are needed to effectively treat such wounds that vary in shape and depth. The continuous development of 3D-printing technology along with artificial intelligence has increased the precision, versatility, and compatibility of various materials, thus providing the considerable potential to meet the abovementioned needs. Herein, functional 3D-printing inks comprising DNA from salmon sperm and DNA-induced biosilica inspired by marine sponges, are developed for the machine learning-based 3D-printing of wound dressings. The DNA and biomineralized silica are incorporated into hydrogel inks in a fast, facile manner. The 3D-printed wound dressing thus generates provided appropriate porosity, characterized by effective exudate and blood absorption at wound sites, and mechanical tunability indicated by good shape fidelity and printability during optimized 3D printing. Moreover, the DNA and biomineralized silica act as nanotherapeutics, enhancing the biological activity of the dressings in terms of reactive oxygen species scavenging, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammation activity, thereby accelerating acute and diabetic wound healing. These bioinspired 3D-printed hydrogels produce using a DNA-induced biomineralization strategy are an excellent functional platform for clinical applications in acute and chronic wound repair.

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.

Multi-modulation of immune-inflammatory response using bioactive molecule-integrated PLGA composite for spinal fusion. Mater Today Bio 2023; 19:100611. [PMID: 36969699 PMCID: PMC10034518 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100611] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite current developments in bone substitute technology for spinal fusion, there is a lack of adequate materials for bone regeneration in clinical applications. Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) is commercially available, but a severe inflammatory response is a known side effect. Bone graft substitutes that enhance osteogenesis without adverse effects are needed. We developed a bioactive molecule-laden PLGA composite with multi-modulation for bone fusion. This bioresorbable composite scaffold was considered for bone tissue engineering. Among the main components, magnesium hydroxide (MH) aids in reduction of acute inflammation affecting disruption of new bone formation. Decellularized bone extracellular matrix (bECM) and demineralized bone matrix (DBM) composites were used for osteoconductive and osteoinductive activities. A bioactive molecule, polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN, PN), derived from trout was used for angiogenesis during bone regeneration. A nano-emulsion method that included Span 80 was used to fabricate bioactive PLGA-MH-bECM/DBM-PDRN (PME2/PN) composite to obtain a highly effective and safe scaffold. The synergistic effect provided by PME2/PN improved not only osteogenic and angiogenic gene expression for bone fusion but also improved immunosuppression and polarization of macrophages that were important for bone tissue repair, using a rat model of posterolateral spinal fusion (PLF). It thus had sufficient biocompatibility and bioactivity for spinal fusion.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is widely used in treating oral bone defects to exclude the influence of non-osteogenic tissue on the bone healing process. The traditional method of GBR with a titanium mesh to treat large-area bone defects is limited by the deficiency of increased trauma and costs to patients. Herein, a bi-layered scaffold for GBR composed of a fiber barrier layer and a self-healing hydrogel repair layer is successfully fabricated. The barrier layer is a fibrous membrane material with specific porosity constructed by electrospinning, while the functional layer is a self-healing hydrogel material formed by multiple dynamic covalent bonds. The system can provide an osteogenic microenvironment by preventing the infiltration of connective tissue to bone defects, maintain the stability of the osteogenic space through the self-healing property, and regulate the release of bioactive substances in the dynamic physical condition, which is beneficial to osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and bone regeneration. This study focused on exploring the effects of different crosslinkers and bonding methods on the comprehensive properties of hydrogels. and proved that the hybrid scaffold system has good biocompatibility, cell barrier function and can enhance bone regeneration activity. Thereby it could be a promising clinical strategy for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Vascularization is a highly conserved and considerably complex and precise process that is finely driven by endogenous regulatory processes at the tissue and systemic levels. However, it can reveal itself to be slow and inadequate for tissue repair and regeneration consequent to severe lesions/damages. Several biomaterial-based strategies were developed to support and enhance vasculogenesis by supplying pro-angiogenic agents. Several approaches were adopted to develop effective drug delivery systems for the controlled release of a huge variety of compounds. In this work, a microparticulate system was chosen to be loaded with the essential amino acid L-lysine, a molecule that has recently gained interest due to its involvement in pro-angiogenic, pro-regenerative, and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), the most widely used FDA-approved biodegradable synthetic polymer for the development of drug delivery systems, was chosen due to its versatility and ability to promote neovascularization and wound healing. This study dealt with the development and the effectiveness evaluation of a PLGA-based microparticulate system for the controlled release of L-lysine. Therefore, in order to maximize L-lysine encapsulation efficiency and tune its release kinetics, the microparticle synthesis protocol was optimized by varying some processing parameters. All developed formulations were characterized from a morphological and physicochemical point of view. The optimized formulation was further characterized via the evaluation of its preliminary biological efficacy in vitro. The cellular and molecular studies revealed that the L-lysine-loaded PLGA microparticles were non-toxic, biocompatible, and supported cell proliferation and angiogenesis well by stimulating the expression of pro-angiogenic genes such as metalloproteinase-9, focal adhesion kinases, and different growth factors. Thus, this work showed the potential of delivering L-lysine encapsulated in PLGA microparticles as a cost-effective promoter system for angiogenesis enhancement and rapid healing.

Abstract
Osteoporotic bone regeneration is a challenging process which involves the occurrence of sophisticated interactions. Although various polymeric scaffolds have been proposed for bone repair, research on osteoporotic bone regeneration remains practically limited. In particular, achieving satisfactory bone regeneration when using osteoporotic drugs is challenging including bisphosphonates. Here, a novel nitric oxide-releasing bioinspired scaffold with bioactive agents for the exquisite regeneration of osteoporotic bone is proposed. The bone-like biomimetic poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) scaffold is first prepared in combination with organic/inorganic ECM and magnesium hydroxide as the base implant material. Nanoparticles containing bioactive agents of zinc oxide (ZO), alendronate, and BMP2 are incorporated to the biomimetic scaffold to impart multifunctionality such as anti-inflammation, angiogenesis, anti-osteoclastogenesis, and bone regeneration. Especially, nitric oxide (NO) generated from ZO stimulates the activity of cGMP and protein kinase G; in addition, ZO downregulates the RANKL/osteoprotegerin ratio by suppressing the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. The new bone is formed much better in the osteoporotic rat model than in the normal model through the regulation of bone homeostasis via the scaffold. These synergistic effects suggest that such a bioinspired scaffold could be a comprehensive way to regenerate exceptionally osteoporotic bones.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of critical-size bone defects has significantly increased. Critical-size bone defects seriously affect patients' motor functions and quality of life and increase the need for additional clinical treatments. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has made great progress in repairing critical-size bone defects. As one of the main components of bone tissue engineering, stem cell-based therapy is considered a potential effective strategy to regenerate bone tissues. However, there are some disadvantages including phenotypic changes, immune rejection, potential tumorigenicity, low homing efficiency and cell survival rate that restrict its wider clinical applications. Evidence has shown that the positive biological effects of stem cells on tissue repair are largely mediated through paracrine action by nanostructured extracellular vesicles (EVs), which may overcome the limitations of traditional stem cell-based treatments. In addition to stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles, the potential therapeutic roles of nonstem cell-derived extracellular vesicles in critical-size bone defect repair have also attracted attention from scholars in recent years. Currently, the development of extracellular vesicles-mediated cell-free regenerative medicine is still in the preliminary stage, and the specific mechanisms remain elusive. Herein, the authors first review the research progress and possible mechanisms of extracellular vesicles combined with bone tissue engineering scaffolds to promote bone regeneration via bioactive molecules. Engineering modified extracellular vesicles is an emerging component of bone tissue engineering and its main progression and clinical applications will be discussed. Finally, future perspectives and challenges of developing extracellular vesicle-based regenerative medicine will be given. This review may provide a theoretical basis for the future development of extracellular vesicle-based biomedicine and provide clinical references for promoting the repair of critical-size bone defects.

Abstract
A critical-sized bone defect, which cannot be repaired through self-healing, is a major challenge in clinical therapeutics. The combination of biomimetic hydrogels and nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) is a promising way to solve this problem by constructing an osteogenic microenvironment. However, it is challenging to generate nano-HAP with a similar morphology and structure to that of natural bone, which limits the improvement of bone regeneration hydrogels. Inspired by our previous works on organic-inorganic cocross-linking, here, we built a strong organic-inorganic interaction by cross-linking periosteum-decellularized extracellular matrix and calcium phosphate oligomers, which ensured the in situ mineralization of bone-like nano-HAP in hydrogels. The resulting biomimetic osteogenic hydrogel (BOH) promotes bone mineralization, construction of immune microenvironment, and angiogenesis improvement in vitro. The BOH exhibited acceleration of osteogenesis in vivo, achieving large-sized bone defect regeneration and remodeling within 8 weeks, which is superior to many previously reported hydrogels. This study demonstrates the important role of bone-like nano-HAP in osteogenesis, which deepens the understanding of the design of biomaterials for hard tissue repair. The in situ mineralization of bone-like nano-HAP emphasizes the advantages of inorganic ionic oligomers in the construction of organic-inorganic interaction, which provides an alternative method for the preparation of advanced biomimetic materials.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating joint disease affecting nearly 400 million people with no efficient etiological therapies. OA is primarily identified by cartilage destruction, and gradual degeneration of the whole joint would happen when the OA progresses. Hence, cartilage has been identified as the primary therapeutic target of OA. Unfortunately, numerous barriers block the delivery of therapeutic agents into cartilage, including avascular traits and high hardness of the extracellular matrix. Herein, a cartilage-targeting peptide (CAP) modified polyvinylamine (PVAm)- poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) copolymer (CAP-PVAm-PLGA) is designed, which can form spherical nanoparticles with the r-miR-140 (CPP-NPs). CPP-NPs possessed enhanced mechanical properties due to the introduction of PLGA to vehicles. Meanwhile, CAP endowed the cartilage targeting which facilitated CPP-NPs localization in cartilage. With such dual advantages, CPP-NPs exhibited outstanding penetrability and accumulation in cartilage even subchondral bone, and can penetrate to a depth of 1000 µm into human cartilage. The degeneration area of cartilage is reduced by 65% and synovial inflammation score by 80% in OA mice, and the microarchitecture of subchondral bone is also ameliorated. These studies established a promising platform for therapeutic RNA delivery in OA therapy that overcame the cartilage barriers.

Reduced restenosis and enhanced re-endothelialization of functional biodegradable vascular scaffolds by everolimus and magnesium hydroxide. Biomater Res 2022; 26:86.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is a cardiovascular disease with a high mortality and mortality rate in modern society. Vascular stent insertion to restore blood flow is essential to treat this disease. A fully biodegradable vascular scaffold (BVS) is a vascular poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) stent that is receiving growing interest as this is biodegradable in the body and does not require secondary removal surgery. However, acidic byproducts composed of PLLA produced during the biodegradation of the BVS can induce an inflammatory response. Magnesium hydroxide, a basic inorganic particle, neutralizes the acidic byproducts of PLLA. METHODS: In this study, we investigated using a BVS coated with everolimus and surface-modified magnesium hydroxide that suppresses smooth muscle cell proliferation and protects endothelial cells, respectively. The various characteristics of the functional stent were evaluated using in vitro and in vivo analyses. RESULTS: The BVS was successfully prepared with evenly coated everolimus and surface-modified magnesium hydroxide. A neutral pH value was maintained by magnesium hydroxide during degradation, and everolimus was released for one month. The coated BVS effectively inhibited protein adsorption and platelet adhesion, demonstrating excellent blood compatibility. In vitro analysis showed that BVS protects endothelial cells with magnesium hydroxide and selectively inhibits smooth muscle cell proliferation via everolimus treatment. The functional BVS was inserted into porcine coronary arteries for 28 days, and the results demonstrated that the restenosis and inflammation greatly decreased and re-endothelialization was enhanced as compared to others. CONCLUSIONS This study provides new insights into the design of drug-incorporated BVS stent for coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Bone grafting is frequently conducted to treat bone defects caused by trauma and tumor removal, yet with significant medical and socioeconomic burdens. Space-occupying bone substitutes remain challenging in the control of osteointegration, and meanwhile activation of endogenous periosteal cells by using non-space-occupying implants to promote new bone formation becomes another therapeutic strategy. Here, we fabricated a magnesium-based artificial bandage with optimal micropatterns for activating periosteum-associated biomineralization. Collagen was self-assembled on the surface of magnesium oxide nanoparticles embedded electrospun fibrous membranes as a hierarchical bandage structure to facilitate the integration with periosteum in situ. After the implantation on the surface of cortical bone in vivo, magnesium ions were released to generate a pro-osteogenic immune microenvironment by activating the endogenous periosteal macrophages into M2 phenotype and, meanwhile, promote blood vessel formation and neurite outgrowth. In a cortical bone defect model, magnesium-based artificial bandage guided the surrounding newly formed bone tissue to cover the defected area. Taken together, our study suggests that the strategy of stimulating bone formation can be achieved with magnesium delivery to periosteum in situ and the proposed periosteal bandages act as a bioactive media for accelerating bone healing.

Controlled Release of Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Augments the Coupling of Angiogenesis and Osteogenesis for Accelerating Mandibular Defect Repair. Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:2397.

Abstract
Reconstruction of a mandibular defect is challenging, with high expectations for both functional and esthetic results. Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is an essential growth factor in osteogenesis, but the efficacy of the BMP-2-based strategy on the bone regeneration of mandibular defects has not been well-investigated. In addition, the underlying mechanisms of BMP-2 that drives the bone formation in mandibular defects remain to be clarified. Here, we utilized BMP-2-loaded hydrogel to augment bone formation in a critical-size mandibular defect model in rats. We found that implantation of BMP-2-loaded hydrogel significantly promoted intramembranous ossification within the defect. The region with new bone triggered by BMP-2 harbored abundant CD31+ endomucin+ type H vessels and associated osterix (Osx)+ osteoprogenitor cells. Intriguingly, the new bone comprised large numbers of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) (CD51+ CD200+) and their multi-potent descendants (CD51+ CD105+), which were mainly distributed adjacent to the invaded blood vessels, after implantation of the BMP-2-loaded hydrogel. Meanwhile, BMP-2 further elevated the fraction of CD51+ CD105+ SSC descendants. Overall, the evidence indicates that BMP-2 may recapitulate a close interaction between functional vessels and SSCs. We conclude that BMP-2 augmented coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in a novel and indispensable way to improve bone regeneration in mandibular defects, and warrants clinical investigation and application.

Abstract
Developing a self-reporting bioadhesive patch that has strong adhesion to the wet tissues and meanwhile can avoid adhering to the adjacent tissues is a current research difficulty and challenge. In this paper, inspired by the wet adhesion of spider web, slippery surface of Nepenthes, and structural color phenomena of chameleons, a novel structural color medical patch with surface dual-properties of wet bioadhesion and slipperiness for internal tissue repair based on inverse opal scaffold is presented. The adhesive surface made by poly(acrylic acid)-polyethylene glycol-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester and gelatin hydrogel can attain tough adhesion to internal wet tissues by absorbing tissue interfacial water and the covalent cross-linking between the hydrogel and tissue. Besides, the slippery surface made by liquid paraffin infused inverse opal scaffold can avoid adhesion to the adjacent tissues. It is demonstrated that the designed patch can adhere tightly to the defect tissue and improve the tissue repair without adjacent adhesion when applied in a rat model with full-thickness perforation of the stomach wall. In addition, the responsive structural color can supply a color-sensing monitoring to evaluate the adhesive and repair process. These features impart the bioinspired patch with great scientific significance and broad clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Recently, strategies that focus on biofunctionalized implant surfaces to enhance bone defect healing through the synergistic regulation of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis have attracted increasing attention in the bone tissue engineering field. Studies have shown that the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has an imperative effect of promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis while reducing osteoclastogenesis. However, how to prepare biofunctionalized bone implants with balanced osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and osteoclastogenesis by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway has seldom been investigated. Herein, through a bioinspired dopamine chemistry and self-assembly method, BML-284 (BML), a potent and highly selective Wnt signaling activator, was loaded on a mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) layer that had been immobilized on the porous beta-tricalcium calcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold surface and subsequently modified by a biocompatible carboxymethyl chitosan hydrogel to form a sandwich-like hybrid surface. β-TCP provides a biomimetic three-dimensional porous microenvironment similar to that of natural cancellous bone, and the BML-loaded sandwich-like hybrid surface endows the scaffold with multifunctional properties for potential application in bone regeneration. The results show that the sustained release of BML from the sandwich-like hybrid surface significantly facilitates the adhesion, migration, proliferation, spreading, and osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells as well as the angiogenic activity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. In addition to osteogenesis and angiogenesis, the hybrid surface also exerts critical roles in suppressing osteoclastic activity. Remarkably, in a critical-sized cranial defect model, the biofunctionalized β-TCP scaffold could potentially trigger a chain of biological events: stimulating the polarization of M2 macrophages, recruiting endogenous stem cells and endothelial cells at the injury site to enable a favorable microenvironment for greatly accelerating bone ingrowth and angiogenesis while compromising osteoclastogenesis, thereby promoting bone healing. Therefore, these surface-biofunctionalized β-TCP implants, which regulate the synergies of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and anti-osteoclastogenesis, indicate strong potential for clinical application as advanced orthopedic implants.

Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14183790. [PMID: 36145934 PMCID: PMC9504497 DOI: 10.3390/polym14183790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/01/2022] [Accepted: 09/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), as a biodegradable polymer, has attracted attention for use as a biomaterial. In order to apply PLLA as a cardiovascular stent, stronger mechanical properties and anti-inflammatory effects against acidic by-products are required. In this study, PLLA/PDLA stereocomplex microparticles (SC) were developed and surface-modified magnesium hydroxide (MH) nanoparticles with oligolactide were combined with these PLLA composites. The SC improved the mechanical properties of the PLLA composites through the formation of stereocomplex structures. The surface-modified MH nanoparticles showed enhanced mechanical properties due to the stereocomplex structures formed by PLLA chains and inhibited inflammatory responses by pH neutralization as a result of MH. Additionally, the MH nanoparticles containing PLLA composites had antibacterial effects and increased the viability of human vascular endothelial cells. This technology is expected to have great potential in the development of PLLA composite materials for the production of various medical devices, such as cardiovascular stents.

Abstract
The endogenous electrical potential generated by native bone and periosteum plays a key role in maintaining bone mass and quality. Inspired by the electrical properties of bone, different negative surface potentials are built on microspheres to restore electric microenvironment for powerful bone regeneration, which was prepared by the combination of strontium-doped barium titanate (Sr-BTO) nanoparticles and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) with high electrostatic voltage field (HEV). The surface potential was modulated through regulating the phase composition of nanoparticles in microspheres by the doping amount of strontium ion (Sr2+). As a result, the 0.1Sr-BTO/PLGA group shows the lowest surface potential and its relative permittivity is closer to natural bone. As expected, the 0.1Sr-BTO/PLGA microspheres performed cytocompatibility, osteogenic activity in vitro and enhance bone regeneration in vivo. Furthermore, the potential mechanism of Sr-BTO/PLGA microspheres to promote osteogenic differentiation was further explored. The lower surface potential generated on Sr-BTO/PLGA microspheres regulates cell membrane potential and leads to an increase in the intracellular calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration, which could activate the Calcineurin (CaN)/Nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) signaling pathway to promote osteogenic differentiation. This study established an effective method to modulate the surface potential, which provides a prospective exploration for electrical stimulation therapy. The 0.1Sr-BTO/PLGA microsphere with lower surface potential and bone-matched dielectric constant is expected to have great potential in the field of bone regeneration.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been adopted in various preclinical and clinical studies because of their multipotency and low immunogenicity. However, numerous obstacles relating to safety issues remain. Therefore, MSC-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been recently employed. EVs are nano-sized endoplasmic reticulum particles generated and released in cells that have similar biological functions to their origin cells. EVs act as cargo for bioactive molecules such as proteins and genetic materials and facilitate tissue regeneration. EVs obtained from adipose-derived MSC (ADMSC) also have neuroprotective and neurogenesis effects. On the basis of the versatile effects of EVs, we aimed to enhance the neural differentiation ability of ADMSC-derived EVs by elucidating the neurogenic-differentiation process. ADMSC-derived EVs isolated from neurogenesis conditioned media (differentiated EVs, dEVs) increased neurogenic ability by altering innate microRNA expression and cytokine composition. Consequently, dEVs promoted neuronal differentiation of neural progenitor cells in vitro, suggesting that dEVs are a prospective candidate for EV-based neurological disorder regeneration therapy.

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
In recent decades, extracellular vesicles (EVs), as bioactive cell-secreted nanoparticles which are involved in various physiological and pathological processes including cell proliferation, immune regulation, angiogenesis and tissue repair, have emerged as one of the most attractive nanotherapeutics for regenerative medicine. Herein we provide a systematic review of the latest progress of EVs for regenerative applications. Firstly, we will briefly introduce the biogenesis, function and isolation technology of EVs. Then, the underlying therapeutic mechanisms of the native unmodified EVs and engineering strategies of the modified EVs as regenerative entities will be discussed. Subsequently, the main focus will be placed on the tissue repair and regeneration applications of EVs on various organs including brain, heart, bone and cartilage, liver and kidney, as well as skin. More importantly, current clinical trials of EVs for regenerative medicine will also be briefly highlighted. Finally, the future challenges and insightful perspectives of the currently developed EV-based nanotherapeutics in biomedicine will be discussed. In short, the bioactive EV-based nanotherapeutics have opened new horizons for biologists, chemists, nanoscientists, pharmacists, as well as clinicians, making possible powerful tools and therapies for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a term used to describe tendon disorders that are marked by pain and a loss of function. Recent studies demonstrated that inflammation plays an important role throughout the broad spectrum of tendinopathy. Conventional treatments such as steroid injections, analgesics, and physical modalities simply give pain relief and do not alter the disease progression without the tendon regeneration effect. Tenocytes are responsible for maintaining the tendon matrix and understanding how they function is essential to studying new treatments for tendinopathy. Our previous study showed the protective effects of vitamin D (Vit D) on damaged tenocytes. Besides its well-known effects on bone metabolism, the non-classical action of Vit D is the pleiotropic effects on modulating immune function. In the present study, we developed a Vit D delivery system with hyaluronic acid (HA), which is one of the major components of the extracellular matrix that has anti-inflammation and wound-healing properties. A novel Vit D delivery system with cross-linked HA hydrogel (Gel) and Tween 80 (T80), Vit D@Gel/T80, could be a new regeneration technique for the treatment of tendinopathy. Vit D@Gel/T80 reduced TNF-α induced damage to human tenocytes in vitro. In an animal study, the Vit D@Gel/T80 injected group demonstrated tendon restoration features. As a result, this Vit D@Gel/T80 system might be a local injection material in the treatment for tendinopathy.
