Abstract
During tumor development, the tumor itself must continuously generate new blood vessels to meet their growth needs while also allowing for tumor invasion and metastasis. One of the most common features of tumors is hypoxia, which drives the process of tumor angiogenesis by regulating the tumor microenvironment, thus adversely affecting the prognosis of patients. In addition, to overcome unsuitable environments for growth, such as hypoxia, nutrient deficiency, hyperacidity, and immunosuppression, the tumor microenvironment (TME) coordinates angiogenesis in several ways to restore the supply of oxygen and nutrients and to remove metabolic wastes. A growing body of research suggests that tumor angiogenesis and hypoxia interact through a complex interplay of crosstalk, which is inextricably linked to the TME. Here, we review the TME's positive contribution to angiogenesis from an angiogenesis-centric perspective while considering the objective impact of hypoxic phenotypes and the status and limitations of current angiogenic therapies.

Influence of intermetallic phase (TiFe) on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of as-cast and quenched Ti-Mo-Fe alloys. Sci Rep 2024; 14:10461. [PMID: 38714856 PMCID: PMC11076512 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-60894-x] [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: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024] Open
Abstract
This study presents the phase analysis, microstructural characteristics, and mechanical property evaluation of the as-cast and quenched Ti-15Mo-xFe alloys with high iron content ranging from 4 to 12 weight percent. All the four alloys were produced in a vacuum-arc melting furnace. Heat treatment in the form of solution treatment was performed in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 1100 °C, with 1-h holding time and the samples were rapidly quenched in ice-brine. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to analyses the phases present in each alloy whereas the optical microscope (OM) was employed to track the microstructural evolution and percentage porosity. The mechanical properties of the alloys were evaluated using a tensile test and compression test method while the micro-Vickers hardness measurements were conducted to evaluate hardness of the alloys. The XRD patterns of as-cast showed peaks belonging to the β and α″ phases and intermetallic B2 TiFe phases. The as quenched XRD peaks illustrated β phase only and Fe·Ti·O2 phases. The as-cast OM micrographs revealed equiaxed β grains, substructures, dendritic structure, and pores forming around the grain boundaries. The quenched OM showed only β equiaxed grains with pores throughout the grain boundaries. The tensile properties such as ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elastic modulus (E) of as-cast TMF0 were 264 MPa and 79 GPa respectively and these properties changed upon quenching to 411 MPa and 66 GPa respectively. The elastic modulus of TMF1 in as-cast condition was 74 GPa. The UTS and E of TMF1, TMF2, and TMF3 in as-cast and quenched conditions were not recorded due to the fragility of the samples that failed prior to yielding any useful data. The compressive strength in as-cast and in quenched condition decreased with an increase in Fe content. The micro-Vickers hardness in as-cast and quenched conditions showed a similar trend with hardness increasing slightly upon quenching for TMF0, TMF1, and TMF3 alloys but slightly decreased in the case of TMF2. The fracture surfaces of all the as-cast and quenched alloys were comprised of ductile and brittle fracture.

Abstract
Macrophages are present in many mechanically active tissues and are often subjected to varying degrees of mechanical stimulation. Macrophages play a crucial role in resisting pathogen invasion and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Piezo-type mechanosensitive channel component 1 (Piezo1) is the main cation channel involved in the rapid response to mechanical stimuli in mammals. This channel plays a crucial role in controlling blood pressure and motor performance and regulates urinary osmotic pressure and epithelial cell proliferation and division. In recent years, numerous studies have shown that in macrophages, Piezo1 not only plays a role in regulating the aforementioned physiological processes but also participates in multiple pathological processes such as inflammation and cancer. In this review, we summarize the research progress on Piezo1-mediated regulation of macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses through downstream signalling pathways and the aerobic glycolysis pathway.

Abstract
Repair of large bone defects remains challenge for orthopedic clinical treatment. Porous titanium alloys have been widely fabricated by the additive manufacturing, which possess the elastic modulus close to that of human cortical bone, good osteoconductivity and osteointegration. However, insufficient bone regeneration and vascularization inside the porous titanium scaffolds severely limit their capability for repair of large-size bone defects. Therefore, it is crucially important to improve the osteogenic function and vascularization of the titanium scaffolds. Herein, methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) were incorporated with the porous Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448) scaffolds prepared by the electron beam melting (EBM) method (Ti2448-GelMA). Besides, the deferoxamine (DFO) as an angiogenic agent was doped into the Ti2448-GelMA scaffold (Ti2448-GelMA/DFO), in order to promote vascularization. The results indicate that GelMA can fully infiltrate into the pores of Ti2448 scaffolds with porous cross-linked network (average pore size: 120.2 ± 25.1 μm). Ti2448-GelMA scaffolds facilitated the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells by promoting the ALP expression and mineralization, with the amount of calcium contents ∼2.5 times at day 14, compared with the Ti2448 scaffolds. Impressively, the number of vascular meshes for the Ti2448-GelMA/DFO group (∼7.2/mm2) was significantly higher than the control group (∼5.3/mm2) after cultivation for 9 h, demonstrating the excellent angiogenesis ability. The Ti2448-GelMA/DFO scaffolds also exhibited sustained release of DFO, with a cumulative release of 82.3% after 28 days. Therefore, Ti2448-GelMA/DFO scaffolds likely provide a new strategy to improve the osteogenesis and angiogenesis for repair of large bone defects.

[PMID: 38625513 DOI: 10.1007/s11010-024-05000-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
Mechanosensitive ion channels are widely distributed in the heart, lung, bladder and other tissues, and plays an important role in exercise-induced cardiovascular function promotion. By reviewing the PubMed databases, the results were summarized using the terms "Exercise/Sport", "Piezo1", "Transient receptor potential (TRP)" and "Cardiovascular" as the keywords, 124-related papers screened were sorted and reviewed. The results showed that: (1) Piezo1 and TRP channels play an important role in regulating blood pressure and the development of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and cardiac fibrosis; (2) Exercise promotes cardiac health, inhibits the development of pathological heart to heart failure, regulating the changes in the characterization of Piezo1 and TRP channels; (3) Piezo1 activates downstream signaling pathways with very broad pathways, such as AKT/eNOS, NF-κB, p38MAPK and HIPPO-YAP signaling pathways. Piezo1 and Irisin regulate nuclear localization of YAP and are hypothesized to act synergistically to regulate tissue mechanical properties of the cardiovascular system and (4) The cardioprotective effects of exercise through the TRP family are mostly accomplished through Ca2+ and involve many signaling pathways. TRP channels exert their important cardioprotective effects by reducing the TRPC3-Nox2 complex and mediating Irisin-induced Ca2+ influx through TRPV4. It is proposed that exercise stimulates the mechanosensitive cation channel Piezo1 and TRP channels, which exerts cardioprotective effects. The activation of Piezo1 and TRP channels and their downstream targets to exert cardioprotective function by exercise may provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and the rehabilitation of clinical patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the effect of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the temporal alteration of macrophage phenotypes and macrophage-regulated angiogenesis duringearlybonehealing and preliminarily elucidate the mechanism. METHODS In vivo, the rat mandibular defect models were established with inferior alveolar nerve transection (IANT) or CGRP receptor antagonist injection. Radiographicandhistologic assessments for osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and macrophage phenotypic alteration within bone defects were performed. In vitro, the effect and mechanism of CGRP on macrophage polarization and phenotypic alteration were analyzed. Then the conditioned medium (CM) from CGRP-treated M1 or M2 macrophages was used to culture human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and the CGRP's effect on macrophage-regulated angiogenesis was detected. RESULTS Comparable changes following IANT and CGRP blockade within bone defects were observed, including the suppression of early osteogenesis and angiogenesis, the prolonged M1 macrophage infiltration and the prohibited transition toward M2 macrophages around vascular endothelium. In vitro experiments showed that CGRP promoted M2 macrophage polarization while upregulating the expression of interleukin 6 (IL-6), a major cytokine that facilitates the transition from M1 to M2-dominant stage, in M1 macrophages via the activation of Yes-associated protein 1. Moreover, CGRP-treated macrophage-CM showed an anabolic effect on HUVECs angiogenesis compared with macrophage-CM and might prevail over the direct effect of CGRP on HUVECs. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our results reveal the effect of CGRP on M1 to M2 macrophage phenotypic alteration possibly via upregulating IL-6 in M1 macrophages, and demonstrate the macrophage-regulated pro-angiogenic potential of CGRP in early bone healing.

Abstract
Purpose In many diseases, an overabundance of macrophages contributes to adverse outcomes. While numerous studies have compared macrophage phenotype after mechanical stimulation or with varying local stiffness, it is unclear if and how macrophages themselves contribute to mechanical forces in their microenvironment. Methods Raw 264.7 murine macrophages were embedded in a confining agarose gel, where they proliferated to form spheroids over time. Gels were synthesized at various concentrations to tune the stiffness and treated with various growth supplements to promote macrophage polarization. The spheroids were then analyzed by immunofluorescent staining and qPCR for markers of proliferation, mechanosensory channels, and polarization. Finally, spheroid geometries were used to computationally model the strain generated in the agarose by macrophage spheroid growth. Results Macrophages form spheroids and generate growth-induced mechanical forces (i.e., solid stress) within confining agarose gels, which can be maintained for at least 16 days in culture. Increasing agarose concentration restricts spheroid expansion, promotes discoid geometries, limits gel deformation, and induces an increase in iNOS expression. LPS stimulation increases spheroid growth, though this effect is reversed with the addition of IFN-γ. Ki67 expression decreases with increasing agarose concentration, in line with the growth measurements. Conclusions Macrophages alone both respond to and generate solid stress. Understanding how macrophage generation of growth-induced solid stress responds to different environmental conditions will help to inform treatment strategies for the plethora of diseases that involve macrophage accumulation.

Abstract
Tissue-resident myeloid cells sense and transduce mechanical signals such as stiffness, stretch and compression. In the past two years, our understanding of the mechanosensitive signalling pathways in myeloid cells has significantly expanded. Moreover, it is increasingly clear which mechanical signals induce myeloid cells towards a pro- or anti-inflammatory phenotype. This is especially relevant in the context of altered matrix mechanics in immune-related pathologies or in the response to implanted biomaterials. A detailed understanding of myeloid cell mechanosensing may eventually lead to more effective cell-based immunotherapies for cancer, the development of mechanically inspired therapies to target fibrosis, and the engineering of safer implants. This review covers these recent advances in the emerging field of mechanoimmunology of myeloid cells.

Abstract
Biomaterial scaffolds, including bone substitutes, have evolved from being primarily a biologically passive structural element to one in which material properties such as surface topography and chemistry actively direct bone regeneration by influencing stem cells and the immune microenvironment. Ti-6Al-4V(Ti6Al4V) implants, with a significantly higher elastic modulus than human bone, may lead to stress shielding, necessitating improved stability at the bone-titanium alloy implant interface. Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (Ti2448), a low elastic modulus β-type titanium alloy devoid of potentially toxic elements, was utilized in this study. We employed 3D printing technology to fabricate a porous scaffold structure to further decrease the structural stiffness of the implant to approximate that of cancellous bone. Microarc oxidation (MAO) surface modification technology is then employed to create a microporous structure and a hydrophilic oxide ceramic layer on the surface and interior of the scaffold. In vitro studies demonstrated that MAO treatment enhances the proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenesis capabilities on the scaffold surface. The chemical composition of the MAO-Ti2448 oxide layer is found to enhance the transcription and expression of osteogenic genes in bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), potentially related to the enrichment of Nb2O5 and SnO2 in the oxide layer. The MAO-Ti2448 scaffold, with its synergistic surface activity and low stiffness, significantly activates the anti-inflammatory macrophage phenotype, creating an immune microenvironment that promotes the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In vivo experiments in a rabbit model demonstrated a significant improvement in the quantity and quality of the newly formed bone trabeculae within the scaffold under the contact osteogenesis pattern with a matched elastic modulus. These trabeculae exhibit robust connections to the external structure of the scaffold, accelerating the formation of an interlocking structure between the bone and implant and providing higher implantation stability. These findings suggest that the MAO-Ti2448 scaffold has significant potential as a bone defect repair material by regulating osteoimmunomodulation and osteogenesis to enhance osseointegration. This study demonstrates an optional strategy that combines the mechanism of reducing the elastic modulus with surface modification treatment, thereby extending the application scope of β-type titanium alloy.

Magnetic Aggregation-Induced Bone-Targeting Nanocarrier with Effects of Piezo1 Activation and Osteogenic-Angiogenic Coupling for Osteoporotic Bone Repair.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, characterized by an imbalance in bone homeostasis, is a global health concern. Bone defects are difficult to heal in patients with osteoporosis. Classical drug treatments for osteoporotic bone defects have unsatisfactory efficacy owing to side effects and imprecise delivery problems. In this study, a magnetic aggregation-induced bone-targeting poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid, PLGA)-based nanocarrier (ZOL-PLGA@Yoda1/SPIO) is synthesized to realize dual-targeted delivery and precise Piezo1-activated therapy for osteoporotic bone defects. Piezo1 is an important mechanotransducer that plays a key role in regulating bone homeostasis. To achieve dual-targeting properties, ZOL-PLGA@Yoda1/SPIO is fabricated using zoledronate (ZOL)-decorated PLGA, superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO), and Piezo1-activated molecule Yoda1 via the emulsion solvent diffusion method. Bone-targeting molecular mediation and magnetic aggregation-induced properties can jointly and effectively achieve precise delivery to localized bone defects. Moreover, Yoda1 loading enables targeted and efficient mimicking of mechanical signals and activation of Piezo1. Experiments in vivo and in vitro demonstrate that ZOL-PLGA@Yoda1/SPIO can activate Piezo1 in bone defect areas of osteoporotic mice, improve osteogenesis through YAP/β-catenin signaling axis, promote a well-coordinated osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling, and significantly accelerate bone reconstruction within the defects without noticeable side effects. Overall, this novel dual-targeting nanocarrier provides a potentially effective strategy for the clinical treatment of osteoporotic bone defects.

Abstract
Bone defects caused by diseases or surgery are a common clinical problem. Researchers are devoted to finding biological mechanisms that accelerate bone defect repair, which is a complex and continuous process controlled by many factors. As members of transcriptional costimulatory molecules, Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) play an important regulatory role in osteogenesis, and they affect cell function by regulating the expression of osteogenic genes in osteogenesis-related cells. Macrophages are an important group of cells whose function is regulated by YAP/TAZ. Currently, the relationship between YAP/TAZ and macrophage polarization has attracted increasing attention. In bone tissue, YAP/TAZ can realize diverse osteogenic regulation by mediating macrophage polarization. Macrophages polarize into M1 and M2 phenotypes under different stimuli. M1 macrophages dominate the inflammatory response by releasing a number of inflammatory mediators in the early phase of bone defect repair, while massive aggregation of M2 macrophages is beneficial for inflammation resolution and tissue repair, as they secrete many anti-inflammatory and osteogenesis-related cytokines. The mechanism of YAP/TAZ-mediated macrophage polarization during osteogenesis warrants further study and it is likely to be a promising strategy for bone defect repair. In this article, we review the effect of Hippo-YAP/TAZ signaling and macrophage polarization on bone defect repair, and highlight the regulation of macrophage polarization by YAP/TAZ.

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

Abstract
Biomaterials, when implanted in the human body, can induce a series of cell- and cytokine-related reactions termed foreign body reactions (FBRs). In the progression of FBRs, macrophages regulate inflammation and healing by polarizing to either a pro-inflammatory or pro-healing phenotype and recruit fibroblasts by secreting cytokines. Stimulated by the biomaterials, fibrotic capsule is formed eventually. The implant, along with its newly formed capsule, introduces various mechanical cues that influence cellular functions. Mechanosensing proteins, such as integrins or ion channels, transduce extracellular mechanical signals into cytoplasm biochemical signals in response to mechanical stimuli. Consequently, the morphology, migration mode, function, and polarization state of the cells are affected. Modulated by different intracellular signaling pathways and their crosstalk, the expression of fibrotic genes increases with fibroblast activation and fibroblast to myofibroblast transition under stiff or force stimuli. However, summarized in most current studies, the outcomes of macrophage polarization in the effect of different mechanical cues are inconsistent. The underlying mechanisms should be investigated with more advanced technology and considering more interfering aspects. Further research is needed to determine how to modulate the progression of fibrotic capsule formation in FBR artificially.

Abstract
Skin wound healing is a multifaceted and intricate process involving inflammation, tissue proliferation, and scar formation, all of which are accompanied by the continuous application of mechanical forces. Mechanotransduction is the mechanism by which the skin receives and reacts to physical signals from the internal and external environment, converting them into intracellular biochemical signals. This intricate process relies on specialized proteins known as mechanotransducers, with Piezo1 being a critical mechanosensitive ion channel that plays a central role in this process. This article provides an overview of the structural characteristics of Piezo1 and summarizes its effects on corresponding cells or tissues at different stages of skin trauma, including how it regulates skin sensation and skin-related diseases. The aim is to reveal the potential diagnostic and therapeutic value of Piezo1 in skin trauma and skin-related diseases. Piezo1 has been reported to be a vital mediator of mechanosensation and transduction in various organs and tissues. Given its high expression in the skin, Piezo1, as a significant cell membrane ion channel, is essential in activating intracellular signaling cascades that trigger several cellular physiological functions, including cell migration and muscle contraction. These functions contribute to the regulation and improvement of wound healing.

Abstract
Titanium-based implants often lead to premature implant failure due to the lack of antimicrobial, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties. To this end, a new strategy was developed to fabricate CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating on titanium surfaces by combining calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles, zeolite imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67), and the chemical coupling hyaluronic acid-adipic acid dihydrazide (HA-ADH). We characterized CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The results demonstrated that CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH was pH-sensitive and decomposed rapidly under acidic conditions, and it released inclusions slowly under neutral conditions. Antibacterial experiments showed that the CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating had excellent antibacterial properties and effectively killed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO-1). Cell experiments revealed that the CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating promoted pro-osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and also promoted the migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), exhibiting excellent osteogenic and angiogenic properties. In in vivo animal implantation experiments, the CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating exhibited strong antimicrobial activity early after implantation and excellent osseointegration later after implantation. In conclusion, the pH-responsive CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating conferred excellent antibacterial, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties to titanium implants, which effectively enhanced osseointegration of the implants and prevented bacterial infection; the coating shows promise for use in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Macrophages are the most important innate immune cells in humans. They are almost ubiquitous in peripheral tissues with a large variety of different mechanical milieus. Therefore, it is not inconceivable that mechanical stimuli have effects on macrophages. Emerging as key molecular detectors of mechanical stress, the function of Piezo channels in macrophages is becoming attractive. In this review, we addressed the architecture, activation mechanisms, biological functions, and pharmacological regulation of the Piezo1 channel and review the research advancements in functions of Piezo1 channels in macrophages and macrophage-mediated inflammatory diseases as well as the potential mechanisms involved.

Abstract
With the huge demands of an aging society, it is urgent to develop a new generation of non-toxic titanium alloy to match the modulus of human bone. Here, we prepared bulk Ti2448 alloys by powder metallurgy technology, and focused on the influence of the sintering process on the porosity, phase composition, and mechanical properties of the initial sintered samples. Furthermore, we performed solution treatment on the samples under different sintering parameters to further adjust the microstructure and phase composition, so as to achieve strength enhancement and reduction of Young's modulus. Solution treatment can effectively inhibit the continuous α phase precipitated along the grain boundaries of the β matrix, which is beneficial to the fracture resistance. Therefore, the water-quenched sample exhibits good mechanical properties due to the absence of acicular α-phase. Samples sintered at 1400 °C and subsequently water quenched have excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, which benefit from high porosity and the smaller feature size of microstructure. To be specific, the compressive yield stress is 1100 MPa, the strain at fracture is 17.5%, and the Young's modulus is 44 GPa, which are more applicable to orthopedic implants. Finally, the relatively mature sintering and solution treatment process parameters were screened out for reference in actual production.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is generally known to be a complex tissue with multiple layers. Each layer has different composition, structure, and mechanical properties, making regeneration after knee joint defects a troubling clinical problem. A novel integrated stratified decalcified bone matrix (SDBM) scaffold with different stiffness to mimic the mechanical properties of articular cartilage is presented herein. This SDBM scaffold was modified using fibrinogen (Fg) (Fg + SDBM) to enhance its vascularization ability and improve its repair efficiency for osteochondral defects of knee joints. A Fg + SDBM scaffold with different elastic modulus in each layer (high-stiffness DBM (HDBM) layer, 174.208 ± 44.330 MPa (Fg + HDBM); medium-stiffness DBM (MDBM) layer, 21.214 ± 6.922 MPa (Fg + MDBM); and low-stiffness DBM (LDBM) layer, 0.678 ± 0.269 MPa (Fg + LDBM)) was constructed by controlling the stratified decalcification time with layered embedding paraffin (0, 3, and 5 days). The low- and medium-stiffness layers of the Fg + SDBM scaffold remarkably promoted the cartilage differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. Subcutaneous transplantation and rabbit knee joint osteochondral defect repair experiments revealed that the low- and medium-stiffness layers of the Fg + SDBM scaffold exhibited wonderful cartilage capacity, whereas the high-stiffness layer of Fg + SDBM scaffold exhibited good osteogenesis ability. Furthermore, this scaffold could promote blood vessel formation in subchondral bone area. This study presents a feasible strategy for osteochondral regeneration of defective knee joints, which is of great clinical value for tissue repair.

Abstract
Osteoimmunology is at full display during endosseous implant osseointegration. Bone formation, maintenance and resorption at the implant surface is a result of bidirectional and dynamic reciprocal communication between the bone and immune cells that extends beyond the well-defined osteoblast-osteoclast signaling. Implant surface topography informs adherent progenitor and immune cell function and their cross-talk to modulate the process of bone accrual. Integrating titanium surface engineering with the principles of immunology is utilized to harness the power of immune system to improve osseointegration in healthy and diseased microenvironments. This review summarizes current information regarding immune cell-titanium implant surface interactions and places these events in the context of surface-mediated immunomodulation and bone regeneration. A mechanistic approach is directed in demonstrating the central role of osteoimmunology in the process of osseointegration and exploring how regulation of immune cell function at the implant-bone interface may be used in future control of clinical therapies. The process of peri-implant bone loss is also informed by immunomodulation at the implant surface. How surface topography is exploited to prevent osteoclastogenesis is considered herein with respect to peri-implant inflammation, osteoclastic precursor-surface interactions, and the upstream/downstream effects of surface topography on immune and progenitor cell function.
