Abstract
Bone tissue is a highly vascularized tissue. When constructing tissue-engineered bone models, both the osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of the construct should be carefully considered. However, fabricating a vascularized tissue-engineered bone to promote vascular formation and bone generation, while simultaneously establishing nutrition channels to facilitate nutrient exchange within the constructs, remains a significant challenge. Triaxial bioprinting, which not only allows the independent encapsulation of different cell types while simultaneously forming nutrient channels, could potentially emerge as a strategy for fabricating vascularized tissue-engineered bone. Moreover, bioinks should also be applied in combination to promote both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In this study, employing triaxial bioprinting, we used a blend bioink of gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), sodium alginate (Alg), and different concentrations of nano beta-tricalcium phosphate (nano β-TCP) encapsulated MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts as the outer layer, a mixed bioink of GelMA and Alg loaded with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) as the middle layer, and gelatin as a sacrificial material to form nutrient channels in the inner layer to fabricate vascularized bone constructs simulating the microenvironment for bone and vascular tissues. The results showed that the addition of nano β-TCP could adjust the mechanical, swelling, and degradation properties of the constructs. Biological assessments revealed the cell viability of constructs containing different concentrations of nano β-TCP was higher than 90% on day 7, The cell-laden constructs containing 3% (w/v) nano β-TCP exhibited better osteogenic (higher Alkaline phosphatase activity and larger Osteocalcin positive area) and angiogenic (the gradual increased CD31 positive area) potential. Therefore, using triaxial bioprinting technology and employing GelMA, Alg, and nano β-TCP as bioink components could fabricate vascularized bone tissue constructs, offering a novel strategy for vascularized bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
One strategy to correct alveolar bone defects is use of bioactive bone substitutes to maintain the structure of defect site and facilitate cells and vessels' ingrowth. This study aimed to fabricate and characterize the freeze-dried bone regeneration scaffolds composed of polymeric Type I collagen, nano Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and gelatin. The stable structures of scaffolds were obtained by thermal crosslinking and EDC/NHS ((1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide)/(N-hydroxysuccinimide)) chemical crosslinking processes. Subsequently, the physicochemical and biological properties of the scaffolds were characterized and assessed. The results indicated the bioactive composite scaffolds containing 10% and 20% (w/v) nano β-TCP exhibited suitable porosity (84.45 ± 25.43 nm, and 94.51 ± 14.69 nm respectively), a rapid swelling property (reaching the maximum swelling rate at 1 h), excellent degradation resistance (residual mass percentage of scaffolds higher than 80% on day 90 in PBS and Type I collagenase solution respectively), and sustained calcium release capabilities. Moreover, they displayed outstanding biological properties, including superior cell viability, cell adhesion, and cell proliferation. Additionally, the scaffolds containing 10% and 20% (w/v) nano β-TCP could promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1. Therefore, the bioactive composite scaffolds containing 10% and 20% (w/v) nano β-TCP could be further studied for being used to treat alveolar bone defects in vivo.

Abstract
Current vascular grafts, primarily Gore-Tex® and Dacron®, don't integrate with the host and have low patency in small-diameter vessels (<6 mm). Biomaterials that possess appropriate viscoelasticity, compliance, and high biocompatibility are essential for their application in small blood vessels. We have developed metal ion crosslinked poly(propanediol-co-(hydroxyphenyl methylene)amino-propanediol sebacate) (M-PAS), a biodegradable elastomer with a wide range of mechanical properties. We call these materials metallo-elastomers. An initial test on Zn-, Fe-, and Cu-PAS grafts reveals that Cu-PAS is the most suitable because of its excellent elastic recoil and well-balanced polymer degradation/tissue regeneration rate. Here we report host remodeling of Cu-PAS vascular grafts in rats over one year. 76 % of the grafts remain patent and >90 % of the synthetic polymer is degraded by 12 months. Extensive cell infiltration leads to a positive host remodeling. The remodeled grafts feature a fully endothelialized lumen. Circumferentially organized smooth muscle cells, elastin fibers, and widespread mature collagen give the neoarteries mechanical properties similar to native arteries. Proteomic analysis further reveals the presence of important vascular proteins in the neoarteries. Evidence suggests that Cu-PAS is a promising material for engineering small blood vessels.

Abstract
(1) Background: Biphasic bioceramics are synthetic bone substitutes that provide greater safety and better predictability in guided bone regeneration. This study aimed to evaluate the bone repair process using a new biphasic bioceramic of synthetic origin (Plenum® Osshp-70HA: 30β-TCP) in critical calvarial defects. (2) Methods: seventy-four defects were created in rat calvaria and divided into two groups-Plenum® Osshp (PO), right side, and Straumann® BoneCeramic™ (BC), left side. Euthanasia was performed at 7, 15, 30, and 60 days after surgery. (3) Results: Lower gene expression was observed for runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and higher expression for Integrin Binding Sialoprotein (IBSP). The results correlated with moderate immunolabeling for osteocalcin (OCN) and slight immunolabeling for osteopontin (OPN) in the PO group. Histometry showed a greater amount of biomaterial remaining in the PO group at 60 days. The microtomographic analysis showed a lower density of bone connectivity and a greater thickness of the trabeculae for the remnants of the PO group. (4) Conclusions: the Plenum® Osshp showed no differences compared to BoneCeramic™ and is therefore considered an effective option as a synthetic bone substitute in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Large-volume bone defect regeneration is complex and demands time to complete. Several regeneration phases with unique characteristics, including immune responses, follow, overlap, and interdepend on each other and, if successful, lead to the regeneration of the organ bone's form and function. However, during traumatic, infectious, or neoplastic clinical cases, the intrinsic bone regeneration capacity may exceed, and surgical intervention is indicated. Scaffold-guided bone regeneration (SGBR) has recently shown efficacy in preclinical and clinical studies. To investigate different SGBR strategies over periods of up to three years, we have established a well-characterized ovine large segmental tibial bone defect model, for which we have developed and optimized immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocols. We present an overview of the immunohistochemical characterization of different experimental groups, in which all ovine segmental defects were treated with a bone grafting technique combined with an additively manufactured medical-grade polycaprolactone/tricalcium phosphate (mPCL-TCP) scaffold. The qualitative dataset was based on osteoimmunological findings gained from IHC analyses of over 350 sheep surgeries over the past two decades. Our systematic and standardized IHC protocols enabled us to gain further insight into the complex and long-drawn-out bone regeneration processes, which ultimately proved to be a critical element for successful translational research.

Abstract
Limitations associated with conventional bone substitutes such as autografts, increasing demand for bone grafts, and growing elderly population worldwide necessitate development of unique materials as bone graft substitutes. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) would ensure therapy advancement, efficiency, and cost-effective treatment modalities of bone defects. One way of engineering bone tissue scaffolds by mimicking natural bone tissue composed of organic and inorganic phases is to utilize polysaccharide-bioceramic hybrid composites. Polysaccharides are abundant in nature, and present in human body. Biominerals, like hydroxyapatite are present in natural bone and some of them possess osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties. Ion doped bioceramics could substitute protein-based biosignal molecules to achieve osteogenesis, vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, and stress shielding. This review is a systemic summary on properties, advantages, and limitations of polysaccharide-bioceramic/ion doped bioceramic composites along with their recent advancements in BTE.

Abstract
Incorporation of silicate ions in calcium phosphate ceramics (CPC) and modification of their multiscale architecture are two strategies for improving the vascularization of scaffolds for bone regenerative medicine. The response of endothelial cells, actors for vascularization, to the chemical and physical cues of biomaterial surfaces is little documented, although essential. We aimed to characterize in vitro the response of an endothelial cell line, C166, cultivated on the surface CPCs varying either in terms of their chemistry (pure versus silicon-doped HA) or their microstructure (dense versus microporous). Adhesion, metabolic activity, and proliferation were significantly altered on microporous ceramics, but the secretion of the pro-angiogenic VEGF-A increased from 262 to 386 pg/mL on porous compared to dense silicon-doped HA ceramics after 168 h. A tubulogenesis assay was set up directly on the ceramics. Two configurations were designed for discriminating the influence of the chemistry from that of the surface physical properties. The formation of tubule-like structures was qualitatively more frequent on dense ceramics. Microporous ceramics induced calcium depletion in the culture medium (from 2 down to 0.5 mmol/L), which is deleterious for C166. Importantly, this effect might be associated with the in vitro static cell culture. No influence of silicon doping of HA on C166 behavior was detected.

Abstract
After a loss of a tooth, alveolar bone resorption is immutable, leaving the area devoid of sufficient bone quality and mass for a successful and satisfactory implant or any other dental treatment. To treat this problem of irreversible bone loss, bone grafting is the primary solution and a well-accepted technique. The use of bone grafting procedures has increased in recent years. This review is about the various bone grafting techniques and best-situated material available currently along with their trump cards and limitations. In the thorough discussion regarding bone grafting materials and their substitutes, one alloplastic material has shown unbeaten and the most satisfactory properties than any other material, "bicalcium phosphate" (BCP). BCP is a mixture of hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (B-TCP) usually obtained through sintering calcium-deficient apatite (CDA) at or above 700°C or by other methods such as hydrolysis or precipitation. The review also shows comparative studies done to understand the effect, most adequate balance, and impact of ratios of HA/B-TCP on the properties, structure, and success rate of this material. The objective of the review is to enlighten the principal characteristic of the most likely used bone graft material presently, i.e., BCP. The most impeccable characteristic of BCP is its capability to osteointegrate, which results in a superior interface. This interface depicts a dynamic process that includes physicochemical reactions, crystal-protein interactions, cell and tissue colonization, and bone remodeling. BCP has certain essential properties that could be put forth as its advantage over any other substitute. These properties include bioactivity, osteointegration, osteoinduction, osteogenesis, and biodegradation, which are mostly governed by modifying the HA/B-TCP ratio. Other applications of BCP are feasible, such as in drug administration and scaffolds for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Facial trauma, bone resection due to cancer, periodontal diseases, and bone atrophy following tooth extraction often leads to alveolar bone defects that require bone regeneration in order to restore dental function. Guided bone regeneration using synthetic biomaterials has been suggested as an alternative approach to autologous bone grafts. The efficiency of bone substitute materials seems to be influenced by their physico-chemical characteristics; however, the debate is still ongoing on what constitutes optimal biomaterial characteristics. The purpose of this study was to develop an empirical model allowing the assessment of the bone regeneration potential of new biomaterials on the basis of their physico-chemical characteristics, potentially giving directions for the design of a new generation of dental biomaterials. A quantitative data set was built composed of physico-chemical characteristics of seven commercially available intra-oral bone biomaterials and their in vivo response. This empirical model allowed the identification of the construct parameters driving optimized bone formation. The presented model provides a better understanding of the influence of driving biomaterial properties in the bone healing process and can be used as a tool to design bone biomaterials with a more controlled and custom-made composition and structure, thereby facilitating and improving the clinical translation.

Abstract
Frequently, sinus augmentation is required when replacing failing or missing molars in the maxilla due to loss of alveolar bone related to periodontal disease, pneumatization of the sinus or a combination of the two factors. Various materials have been advocated and utilized; these fall into the categories of allograft, xenograft and synthetic materials. This article shall discuss a study of 10 cases with a 2-year follow-up utilizing a novel synthetic graft material used for sinus augmentation either simultaneously with implant placement or in preparation for sinus augmentation and implant placement in the posterior maxilla. The results of the 10 cases in the study found consistent results over the 2-year study period with maintenance of the alveolar height at the maxillary sinus. A lack of complications or failures in the study group demonstrates the technique has useful applications in increasing ridge height to permit implant placement inferior to the sinus floor.

Abstract
Compared with most nondegradable or slowly degradable bone repair materials, bioactive biodegradable porous scaffolds with certain mechanical strengths can promote the regeneration of both new bone and vasculature while the cavity created by their degradation can be replaced by the infiltration of new bone tissue. Mineralized collagen (MC) is the basic structural unit of bone tissue, and silk fibroin (SF) is a natural polymer with adjustable degradation rates and superior mechanical properties. In this study, a three-dimensional porous biomimetic composite scaffold with a two-component SF-MC system was constructed based on the advantages of both materials. The spherical mineral agglomerates of the MC were uniformly distributed on the surface and inside the SF skeleton, which ensured good mechanical properties while regulating the degradation rate of the scaffold. Second, the SF-MC scaffold had good osteogenic induction of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and preosteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) and also promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Finally, in vivo 5 mm cranial defect repair experiments confirmed that the SF-MC scaffold stimulated vascular regeneration and promoted new bone regeneration in vivo by means of in situ regeneration. Overall, we believe that this low-cost biomimetic biodegradable SF-MC scaffold with many advantages has some clinical translation prospects.

Abstract
The regenerative repair of segmental bone defect (SBD) is an urgent problem in the field of orthopedics. Rapid induction of angiogenesis and osteoinductivity after implantation of scaffold is critical. In this study, a unique tissue engineering strategy with mixture of peripheral blood-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PBMSC) and endothelial progenitor cells (PBEPC) was applied in a 3D-printed biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffold with highly bioactive nano hydroxyapatite (nHA) coating (nHA/BCP) to construct a novel vascularized tissue engineered bone (VTEB) for rabbit femoral SBD repair. The 2D coculture of PBMSC and PBEPC showed that they could promote the osteogenic or angiogenic differentiation of the cells from each other, especially in the group of PBEPC/PBMSC = 75:25. Besides, the 3D coculture results exhibited that the nHA coating could further promote PBEPC/PBMSC adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation on the BCP scaffold. In vivo experiments showed that among the four groups (BCP, BCP-PBEPC/PBMSC, nHA/BCP, and nHA/BCP-PBEPC/PBMSC), the nHA/BCP-PBEPC/PBMSC group induced the best formation of blood vessels and new bone and, thus, the good repair of SBD. It revealed the synergistic effect of nHA and PBEPC/PBMSC on the angiogenesis and osteogenesis of the BCP scaffold. Therefore, the construction of VTEB in this study could provide a possibility for the regenerative repair of SBD.

Abstract
Adequate new bone regeneration in bone defects has always been a challenge as it requires excellent and efficient osteogenesis. Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics, including hydroxyapatite (HA) and biphasic calcium phosphates (BCPs), have been extensively used in clinical bone defect filling due to their good osteoinductivity and biodegradability. Here, for the first time, we designed and fabricated two porous CaP bioceramic granules with core-shell structures, named in accordance with their composition as BCP@HA and HA@BCP (core@shell). The spherical shape and the porous structure of these granules were achieved by the calcium alginate gel molding technology combined with a H2O2 foaming process. These granules could be stacked to build a porous structure with a porosity of 65-70% and a micropore size distribution between 150 and 450 μm, which is reported to be good for new bone ingrowth. In vitro experiments confirmed that HA@BCP bioceramic granules could promote the proliferation and osteogenic ability when cocultured with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, while inhibiting the differentiation of RAW264.7 cells into osteoclasts. In vivo, 12 weeks of implantation in a critical-sized femoral bone defect animal model showed a higher bone volume fraction and bone mineral density in the HA@BCP group than in the BCP@HA or pure HA or BCP groups. From histological analysis, we discovered that the new bone tissue in the HA@BCP group was invading from the surface to the inside of the granules, and most of the bioceramic phase was replaced by the new bone. A higher degree of vascularization at the defect region repaired by HA@BCP was revealed by 3D microvascular perfusion angiography in terms of a higher vessel volume fraction. The current study demonstrated that the core-shell structured HA@BCP bioceramic granules could be a promising candidate for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Biodegradable polycaprolactone/β-tricalcium phosphate (PT) composites are desirable candidates for bone tissue engineering applications. A higher β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) ceramic content improves the mechanical, hydrophilic and osteogenic properties of PT scaffolds in vitro. Using a dynamic degradation reactor, we established a steady in vitro degradation model to investigate the changes in the physio-chemical and biological properties of PT scaffolds during degradation.PT46 and PT37 scaffolds underwent degradation more rapidly than PT scaffolds with lower TCP contents. In vivo studies revealed the rapid degradation of PT (PT46 and PT37) scaffolds disturbed macrophage responses and lead to bone healing failure. Macrophage co-culture assays and a subcutaneous implantation model indicated that the scaffold degradation process dynamically affected macrophage responses, especially polarization. RNA-Seq analysis indicated phagocytosis of the degradation products of PT37 scaffolds induces oxidative stress and inflammatory M1 polarization in macrophages. Overall, this study reveals that the dynamic patterns of biodegradation of degradable bone scaffolds highly orchestrate immune responses and thus determine the success of bone regeneration. Therefore, through evaluation of the biological effects of biomaterials during the entire process of degradation on immune responses and bone regeneration are necessary in order to develop more promising biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Protein adsorption on biomaterials for bone substitution, such as calcium phosphates (CaP), evokes biological responses and shapes the interactions of biomaterials with the surrounding biological environment. Proteins adsorb when CaP materials are combined with growth factor-rich hemoderivatives prior to implantation to achieve enhanced angiogenesis and stimulate new bone formation. However, the identification of the adsorbed proteins and their angiogenic effect on bone homeostasis remain incompletely investigated. In this study, we analyzed the adsorbed complex protein composition on CaP surfaces when using the hemoderivatives plasma, platelet lysate in plasma (PL), and washed platelet lysate proteins (wPL). We detected highly abundant, non-regenerative proteins and anti-angiogenic proteins adsorbed on CaP surfaces after incubation with PL and wPL by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC–MS) proteomics. Additionally, we measured a decreased amount of adsorbed pro-angiogenic growth factors. Tube formation assays with human umbilical endothelial cells demonstrated that the CaP surfaces only stimulate an angiogenic response when kept in the hemoderivative medium but not after washing with PBS. Our results highlight the necessity to correlate biomaterial surfaces with complex adsorbed protein compositions to tailor the biomaterial surface toward an enrichment of pro-angiogenic factors.

Abstract
Many studies have reported on the conversion of natural resources into xenografts with hydroxyapatite (HA) as major component, but the extraction of biphasic calcium phosphate (HA/β-TCP) from animal bones and transformation into bone graft substitutes are rarely reported. In this research, two kinds of fish bones were made into granular porous biphasic calcium phosphate bone graft substitutes with particle sizes between 500 to 1000 μm through a series of preparation procedures (Salmo salar calcined at 900°C named Sa900 and Anoplopoma fimbria calcined at 800°C named An800). The chemical composition was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology and porous structure of the scaffolds were comparatively analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mercury porosimeter. The specific surface area of materials was measured by the nitrogen adsorption technique based on BET theory. Cytotoxicity and ectopic osteogenesis were also carried out to investigate the biocompatibility and osteoinductive potential of these materials. The results showed that both fishbone-derived scaffolds were composed of HA and β-TCP with different proportions, and numerous interconnected pores with different sizes were observed at the surface of materials. An800 had higher total porosity reaching 74.8% with higher interconnectivity and micropores mostly distributed at 0.27 μm and 0.12 μm, while Sa900 had a higher specific surface area and higher intraparticle porosity with nanopores mostly distributed at 0.07 μm. CCK-8 assays and Live/dead staining demonstrated excellent biocompatibility. Material-induced osteoid formation were observed on the interface of both internal pores and periphery of materials after implantation in muscle pouch of Wistar rats for 8 weeks which indicated some extent of osteoinductive potential of materials. The possible mechanism of material-induced osteogenesis and the effects of chemical composition, surface topography, and spatial structure on osteogenesis were also discussed in this paper.

Abstract
It is important for future clinical applications to design and synthesize multipurpose scaffolding materials for bone tissue engineering with high osteogenic induction and MRI capability. In the present study, we synthesized Ce/Gd@HA by co-doping Ce3+ and Gd3+ into hydroxyapatite (HA) using a hydrothermal synthesis method, and then Ce/Gd@HA composites were synthesized by combining Ce/Gd@HA nanoparticles with polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) to investigate whether implanted Ce/Gd@HA/PLGA composites could promote osteoblast viability, leading to tibia repair of the rats and enhance MRI. The measurement results contain X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) showing that HA doped with Ce3+ and Gd3+ was still a hexagonal crystal with high crystallinity. The synthesized Ce/Gd@HA/PLGA composites have a structure and obvious magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capability. The in vitro experimental results indicated that Ce/Gd@HA/PLGA composites significantly promoted the performance of MC3T3-E1 cells, containing proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation capacities. These include the improvement of alkaline phosphatase activity, enhancement of mineral deposition, and upregulation of OCN and COL-1 gene expression. The in vivo experimental results demonstrated that the Ce/Gd@HA/PLGA composites significantly improved the healing rate of rat bone defects. The MRI images indicated that the Ga-doped composites were observed in the MRI T1 sequence in rats. The aforementioned results suggested that Ce/Gd@HA/PLGA composites not only effectively promoted bone formation but also enhanced MRI capability. The composites synthesized in this study have great potential in bone regeneration with an extensive application in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of octacalcium phosphate (OCP)-induced bone regeneration on angiogenesis regulated by the inclusion of copper ions in OCP in vitro and in vivo. Calcium (Ca)-deficient Cu-OCPs, containing 0.01 wt% Cu (low-Cu-OCP) and 0.12 wt% Cu (high-Cu-OCP), were synthesized with co7pper gluconate salt. The lattice parameters of Cu-OCPs tended to decrease slightly with Cu inclusion, as estimated by Rietveld analysis. Cu ions were released in OCP when the materials were incubated in the medium for human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). The solubility of Cu-OCPs, estimated by the degree of supersaturation, was slightly higher than that of the original OCP. Cu-OCP tended to hydrolyze to an apatite structure while maintaining the crystal plate-like morphology when incubated with mesenchymal stem D1 cells in osteogenic media for 14 days. The specimens were characterized by selected area electron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Low-Cu-OCP significantly enhanced the HUVEC capillary cross-linking density. D1 cell differentiation was inhibited with the inclusion of Cu, even at low concentrations. The composite of low-Cu-OCP with a gelatin sponge (low-Cu-OCP/Gel) significantly enhanced angiogenesis coupled with bone regeneration when implanted in a rat calvarial critical-sized defect for 4 weeks, compared with the corresponding amount of Cu-containing Gel (Cu/Gel) or OCP/Gel materials through angiography and tissue histomorphometry. These results support the proposition that angiogenesis stimulated by low-Cu-OCP is closely related with enhanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
Calcium phosphate (CaP) bioceramics are important for tissue regeneration and immune response, yet how CaP bioceramics influence these biological processes remains unclear. Recently, the role of immune cells in biomaterial-mediated regeneration, especially macrophages, has been well concerned. CD301b+ macrophages were a new subset of macrophages we have discovered, which were required for bioceramics-mediated bone regeneration. Nevertheless, the impact of CD301b+ macrophages on angiogenesis, which is a vital prerequisite to bone formation is yet indistinct. Herein, we found that CD301b+ macrophages were closely correlated to angiogenesis of CaP bioceramics. Additionally, depletion of CD301b+ macrophages led to the failure of angiogenesis. We showed that store-operated Ca2+ entry and calcineurin signals regulated the VEGF expression of CD301b+ macrophages via the NFATc1/VEGF axis. Inhibition of calcineurin effectively impaired angiogenesis via decreasing the infiltration of CD301b+ macrophages. These findings provided a potential immunomodulatory strategy to optimize the integration of angiogenesis and bone tissue engineering scaffold materials. BCP bioceramics need the involvement of CD301b+ macrophages to promote angiogenesis. Surrounding BCP, CD301b+ macrophages are controlled by CaN and SOCE to express VEGF. BCP bioceramics direct CD301b+ macrophages' infiltration partly through calcineurin.

Abstract
Alloplasts are synthetic, inorganic, biocompatible bone substitutes that function as defect fillers to repair skeletal defects. The acceptance of these substitutes by host tissues is determined by the pore diameter and the porosity and inter-connectivity. This narrative review appraises recent developments, characterization, and biological performance of different synthetic materials for bone, periodontal, and dental tissue regeneration. They include calcium phosphate cements and their variants β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramics and biphasic calcium phosphates (hydroxyapatite (HA) and β-TCP ceramics), calcium sulfate, bioactive glasses and polymer-based bone substitutes which include variants of polycaprolactone. In summary, the search for synthetic bone substitutes remains elusive with calcium compounds providing the best synthetic substitute. The combination of calcium sulphate and β-TCP provides improved handling of the materials, dispensing with the need for a traditional membrane in guided bone regeneration. Evidence is supportive of improved angiogenesis at the recipient sites. One such product, (EthOss® Regeneration, Silesden, UK) has won numerous awards internationally as a commercial success. Bioglasses and polymers, which have been used as medical devices, are still in the experimental stage for dental application. Polycaprolactone-TCP, one of the products in this category is currently undergoing further randomized clinical trials as a 3D socket preservation filler. These aforementioned products may have vast potential for substituting human/animal-based bone grafts.

Abstract
Background The bone regeneration of artificial bone grafts is still in need of a breakthrough to improve the processes of bone defect repair. Artificial bone grafts should be modified to enable angiogenesis and thus improve osteogenesis. We have previously revealed that crystalline Ca10Li(PO4)7 (CLP) possesses higher compressive strength and better biocompatibility than that of pure beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). In this work, we explored the possibility of cobalt (Co), known for mimicking hypoxia, doped into CLP to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Methods We designed and manufactured porous scaffolds by doping CLP with various concentrations of Co (0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, and 1 mol%) and using 3D printing techniques. The crystal phase, surface morphology, compressive strength, in vitro degradation, and mineralization properties of Co-doped and -undoped CLP scaffolds were investigated. Next, we investigated the biocompatibility and effects of Co-doped and -undoped samples on osteogenic and angiogenic properties in vitro and on bone regeneration in rat cranium defects. Results With increasing Co-doping level, the compressive strength of Co-doped CLP scaffolds decreased in comparison with that of undoped CLP scaffolds, especially when the Co-doping concentration increased to 1 mol%. Co-doped CLP scaffolds possessed excellent degradation properties compared with those of undoped CLP scaffolds. The (0.1, 0.25, 0.5 mol%) Co-doped CLP scaffolds had mineralization properties similar to those of undoped CLP scaffolds, whereas the 1 mol% Co-doped CLP scaffolds shown no mineralization changes. Furthermore, compared with undoped scaffolds, Co-doped CLP scaffolds possessed excellent biocompatibility and prominent osteogenic and angiogenic properties in vitro, notably when the doping concentration was 0.25 mol%. After 8 weeks of implantation, 0.25 mol% Co-doped scaffolds had markedly enhanced bone regeneration at the defect site compared with that of the undoped scaffold. Conclusion In summary, CLP doped with 0.25 mol% Co2+ ions is a prospective method to enhance osteogenic and angiogenic properties, thus promoting bone regeneration in bone defect repair.

Abstract
In this article, we propose a simple scheme of using berberine (BBR) to modify porous calcium phosphate ceramics (named PCPC). These BBR molecules regulate the crystallization of hydroxyapatite nanorods on PCPC. We found that these nanorods and the adsorbed BBR changed the interface micro-environment of PCPC by SEM images. The microenvironment of PCPC surface is essential for promoting BMSCs’ proliferation and differentiation. These results demonstrated that PCPC/BBR markedly improved the bone regeneration of osteoporosis rats. Moreover, PCPC/BBR had significantly increased the expression levels of ALP, osteocalcin and bone morphogenetic protein2 and RUNX2 in BMSCs originated from osteoporosis rats.

Abstract
Bone contains a dense network of blood vessels that are essential to its homoeostasis, endocrine function, mineral metabolism and regenerative functions. In addition, bone vasculature is implicated in a number of prominent skeletal diseases, and bone has high affinity for metastatic cancers. Despite vasculature being an integral part of bone physiology and pathophysiology, it is often ignored or oversimplified inin vitrobone models. However, 3D physiologically relevant vasculature can now be engineeredin vitro, with microphysiological systems (MPS) increasingly being used as platforms for engineering this physiologically relevant vasculature. In recent years, vascularised models of bone in MPSs systems have been reported in the literature, representing the beginning of a possible technological step change in how bone is modelledin vitro. Vascularised bone MPSs is a subfield of bone research in its nascency, however given the impact of MPSs has had inin vitroorgan modelling, and the crucial role of vasculature to bone physiology, these systems stand to have a substantial impact on bone research. However, engineering vasculature within the specific design restraints of the bone niche is significantly challenging given the different requirements for engineering bone and vasculature. With this in mind, this paper aims to serve as technical guidance for the biofabrication of vascularised bone tissue within MPS devices. We first discuss the key engineering and biological considerations for engineering more physiologically relevant vasculaturein vitrowithin the specific design constraints of the bone niche. We next explore emerging applications of vascularised bone MPSs, and conclude with a discussion on the current status of vascularised bone MPS biofabrication and suggest directions for development of next generation vascularised bone MPSs.

Abstract
In the field of bone tissue, maintaining adequate mechanical strength and tissue volume is an important part. Recently, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) was fabricated to solve the shortcomings of hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP), and it is widely studied in the field of bone-tissue engineering. In this study, a composite hydrogel was fabricated by applying BCP to gelatin methacrylate (GelMA). It was tested by using a mechanical tester, to characterize the mechanical properties of the prepared composite hydrogel. The fabricated BCP was analyzed through FTIR and XRD. As a result, a different characteristic pattern from hydroxyapatite (HA) and beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was observed, and it was confirmed that it was successfully bound to the hydrogel. Then, the proliferation and differentiation of preosteoblasts were checked to evaluate cell viability. The analysis results showed high cell viability and relatively high bone differentiation ability in the composite hydrogel to which BCP was applied. These features have been shown to be beneficial for bone regeneration by maintaining the volume and shape of the hydrogel. In addition, hydrogels can be advantageous for clinical use, as they can shape the structure of the material for custom applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is still a big challenge to achieve a balance between mechanical characteristics and biological properties in biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics. PURPOSE The present study focused on the in-situ whisker growth on BCP ceramics via different hydrothermal treatments and investigated the influences of these whiskers on the mechanical property and biological performance of the ceramics. METHODS Five kinds of BCP ceramics with in-situ whisker growth, ie, BCP-C, BCP-HNO3, BCP-Citric, BCP-NaOH, BCP-CaCl2 and BCP-Na3PO4 were fabricated by different hydrothermal treatments. The phase compositions, morphologies, crystal structures and mechanical strengths of the obtained BCP ceramics were firstly characterized. Then, the in vitro cell adhesion, proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) on the BCP ceramics were evaluated. Lastly, the effects of in-situ whisker growth on the bone-like apatite formation abilities of BCP ceramics were also investigated by immersing them in simulated body fluid (SBF). RESULTS The results demonstrated that the hydrothermal conditions, especially the hydrothermal media, were crucial to determine the phase composition and morphology of the in-situ whisker. Especially among the five media used (HNO3, Citric, NaOH, CaCl2 and Na3PO4), the Na3PO4 treatment resulted in the shortest whisker with a unique hollow structure, and kept the original biphasic composition. All five kinds of whiskers increased the mechanical strength of BCP ceramics to some extent, and showed the good ability of bone-like apatite formation. The in vitro cell study demonstrated that the in-situ whisker growth had no adverse but even positive effect on the adhesion, proliferation and ALP activity of BMSCs. CONCLUSION Due to the growth of in-situ whiskers, the mechanical property and biological performance of the obtained BCP ceramics could increase simultaneously. Therefore, in-situ whiskers growth offers a promising strategy for the expanded application of BCP ceramics to meet the requirements of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Copper is well known for its multifunctional biological effects including antibacterial and angiogenic activities, while silicon-containing bioceramic has proved to possess superior biological properties to hydroxyapatite (HA). In this work, CuO was introduced to silicocarnotite (Ca5(PO4)2SiO4, CPS) to simultaneously enhance its mechanical and antibacterial properties, and its cytocompatibility was also evaluated. Results showed that CuO could significantly facilitate the densification process of CPS bioceramic through liquid-phase sintering. The bending strength of CPS with the addition of 3.0 wt% CuO improved from 29.2 MPa to 63.4 MPa after sintered at 1200 °C. Moreover, Cu-CPS bioceramics demonstrated superior in vitro antibacterial property against both S. aureus and E. coli strains by destroying their membrane integrity, and the antibacterial activity augmented with CuO content. Meanwhile, the released Cu ions from Cu-CPS bioceramics could promote the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and the in vitro cytocompatibility exhibited concentration dependence on Cu ions. These suggest that Cu-CPS bioceramics might be promising candidates for bone tissue regeneration with an ability to prevent postoperative infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although tooth transplantation is a useful treatment option as a substitute for a missing tooth, transplantation to a narrow alveolar ridge is not feasible. In this study, we tested a tissue engineering approach simultaneously with tooth transplantation using a scaffold or a combination with cells to accelerate bone formation and periodontal tissue regeneration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) were harvested from C57BL/6J mice. The upper first or the second molar of 3-week-old C57BL/6J mice and a β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffold were transplanted with BM-MNCs (MNC group) or without BM-MNCs (β-TCP group) into the thigh muscle of syngeneic mice. The tooth alone was also transplanted (control group). After 4 weeks, the transplants were harvested and analyzed. RESULTS Bone volume was significantly larger in the MNC and the β-TCP groups than that in the control group, and the newly formed bone was observed on the lateral wall of the root. Compared with the control group, the MNC group showed a larger trabecular thickness and fractal dimension. CONCLUSION This study showed accelerated bone formation and periodontal tissue regeneration when tooth transplantation was performed with a β-TCP scaffold. BM-MNCs may accelerate bone maturation, while the effect on bone formation was limited.

Abstract
Angiogenesis (or the development of new blood vessels) is a key event in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine; thus, a number of biomaterials have been developed and combined with stem cells and/or bioactive molecules to produce three-dimensional (3D) pro-angiogenic constructs. Among the various biomaterials, electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds offer great opportunities for pro-angiogenic approaches in tissue repair and regeneration. Nanofibers made of natural and synthetic polymers are often used to incorporate bioactive components (e.g., bioactive glasses (BGs)) and load biomolecules (e.g., vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)) that exert pro-angiogenic activity. Furthermore, seeding of specific types of stem cells (e.g., endothelial progenitor cells) onto nanofibrous scaffolds is considered as a valuable alternative for inducing angiogenesis. The effectiveness of these strategies has been extensively examined both in vitro and in vivo and the outcomes have shown promise in the reconstruction of hard and soft tissues (mainly bone and skin, respectively). However, the translational of electrospun scaffolds with pro-angiogenic molecules or cells is only at its beginning, requiring more research to prove their usefulness in the repair and regeneration of other highly-vascularized vital tissues and organs. This review will cover the latest progress in designing and developing pro-angiogenic electrospun nanofibers and evaluate their usefulness in a tissue engineering and regenerative medicine setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the management principle and clinical suggestions of the osteotomy gap of opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). METHODS The related literature of the osteotomy gap of OWHTO in recent years was reviewed, summarized, and analyzed. RESULTS Delayed union and non-union of the osteotomy gap are main complications of OWHTO. Tomofix plate, as locking steel plate, has the characteristics of angular stability and can better maintain the stability of the osteotomy gap, promote bone healing, and avoid loss of correction. There are some treatment options for the osteotomy gap site, such as, without bone, autologous bone graft, allogeneic bone graft, bone substitute materials graft, and augment factor graft to enhance bone healing. When the osteotomy gap is less than 10 mm, it achieves a good outcome without bone graft. For the obesity, lateral hinge fracture, large osteotomy gap, or correction angle more than 10°, the bone graft should be considered. In cases whose osteotomy gap is nonunion or delayed union, the autologous bone graft is still the gold standard. When the osteotomy gap repaired with the allogeneic bone graft, it is better to choose fragmented cancellous or wedge-shaped cancellous bone, combining with the locking plate technology, also can achieve better bone union. The bone substitute material of calcium-phosphorus is used in the osteotomy gap, which has the characteristics of excellent bone conduction, good biocompatibility, and resorption, combining with the locking plate technology, which can also achieve better bone union in the osteotomy gap. The augment factors enhance the bone healing of the osteotomy gap of OWHTO is still questionable. The bone union of the osteotomy gap is also related to the size of the osteotomy gap and whether the lateral hinge is broken or not. CONCLUSION No matter what type of materials for the osteotomy gap, OWHTO can improve the function and relieve pain for knee osteoarthritis. More randomized controlled trials are needed to provide evidence for clinical decision to determine which treatment option is better for the osteotomy gap of OWHTO.

Abstract
Background Angiogenic and osteogenic activities are two major problems with biomedical titanium (Ti) and other orthopedic implants used to repair large bone defects. Purpose The aim of this study is to prepare hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on the surface of Ti by using electrochemical deposition (ED), and to evaluate the effects of nanotopography and silicon (Si) doping on the angiogenic and osteogenic activities of the coating in vitro. Materials and Methods HA coating and Si-doped HA (HS) coatings with varying nanotopographies were fabricated using two ED modes, ie, the pulsive current (PC) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods. The coatings were characterized through scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and their in vitro bioactivity and protein adsorption were assessed. Using MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts and HUVECs as cell models, the osteogenic and angiogenic capabilities of the coatings were evaluated through in vitro cellular experiments. Results By controlling Si content in ~0.8 wt.%, the coatings resulting from the PC mode (HA-PC and HS-PC) and CV mode (HA-CV and HS-CV) had nanosheet and nanorod topographies, respectively. At lower crystallinity, higher ionic dissolution, smaller contact angle, higher surface roughness, and more negative zeta potential, the HS and PC samples exhibited quicker apatite deposition and higher BSA adsorption capacity. The in vitro cell study showed that Si doping was more favorable for enhancing the viability of the MC3T3-E1 cells, but nanosheet coating increased the area for cell spreading. Of the four coatings, HS-PC with Si doping and nanosheet topography exhibited the best effect in terms of up-regulating the expressions of the osteogenic genes (ALP, Col-I, OSX, OPN and OCN) in the MC3T3-E1 cells. Moreover, all leach liquors of the surface-coated Ti disks promoted the growth of the HUVECs, and the HS samples played a more significant role in promoting cell migration and tube formation than the HA samples. Of the four leach liquors, only the two HS samples up-regulated NO content and expressions of the angiogenesis-related genes (VEGF, bFGF and eNOS) in the HUVECs, and the HS-PC yielded a better effect. Conclusion The results show that Si doping while regulating the topography of the coating can help enhance the bone regeneration and vascularization of HA-coated Ti implants.

Abstract
It has been proved that silicon-substituted calcium phosphate ceramics possess superior bone regeneration and resorbability to HA, while the synthesis of single-phase nanocrystallized high Si-containing calcium phosphate is still a challenge. In the present work, a novel and facile aqueous precipitation method assisted with ultrasonic irradiation was adopted firstly to synthesise a single-phase nanocrystallized calcium silicophosphate (Ca5(PO4)2SiO4, CPS) biomaterial. Crystallization and morphology of Si-apatite precursors synthesized with or without ultrasonic assistance were primarily investigated and the related mechanism was discussed. Moreover, the sinterability, in vitro bioactivity and osteogenic activity of the synthesized CPS were studied in detail. Results showed that an ultrasonic cavitation effect could be beneficial to form a highly dispersive CPS precursor with a single Si-apatite phase, which greatly reduced the calcination temperature of CPS from 1350 °C to 1000 °C. Nanocrystallized CPS powders were obtained successfully under ultrasound-assisted conditions, which showed superior sinterability, in vitro bioactivity and osteogenic activity than those of micron-sized CPS and HA powders. It might be a promising candidate material for bone tissue regeneration applications.

Abstract
Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is a material that can be converted to hydroxyapatite (HA) under physiological environments and is considered a mineral precursor to bone apatite crystals. The structure of OCP consists of apatite layers stacked alternately with hydrated layers, and closely resembles the structure of HA. The performance of OCP as a bone substitute differs from that of HA materials in terms of their osteoconductivity and biodegradability. OCP manifests a cellular phagocytic response through osteoclast-like cells similar to that exhibited by the biodegradable material β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). The use of OCP for human cranial bone defects involves using its granule or composite form with one of the natural polymers, viz., the reconstituted collagen. This review article discusses the differences and similarities in these calcium phosphate (Ca-P)-based materials from the viewpoint of the structure and their material chemistry, and attempts to elucidate why Ca-P materials, particularly OCP, display unique osteoconductive property.

Abstract
Recently, researches have confirmed the crucial role of inflammatory response in Ca-P ceramic-induced osteogenesis, however, the underlying mechanism has not yet been fully understood. In this study, BCP and β-TCP ceramics were used as material models to investigate the effect of physicochemical properties on inflammatory response in vitro. The results showed that BCP and β-TCP could support macrophages attachment, proliferation, and spreading favorably, as well as promote gene expressions of inflammatory related cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, MCP-1, and TNF-α) and growth factors (TGF-β, FGF, PDGF, VEGF, IGF, and EGF). BCP showed a facilitating function on the gene expressions earlier than β-TCP. Further coculture experiments performed in vitro demonstrated that the CMs containing various increased cytokines for macrophages pre-culture could significantly promote MSCs osteogenic differentiation, which was confirmed by the gene expressions of osteogenic specific markers and the intracellular OCN product accumulation under the stimulation of BCP and β-TCP ceramics. Further evidence was found from the formation of mineralized nodules in BCM and TCM. In addition, this study showed a concise relationship between Ca-P ceramic induced inflammation and its osteoinductivity that the increased cytokines and growth factors from macrophages could promote MSCs osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
The host immune response is critical for in situ osteogenesis, but correlations between local inflammatory reactions and biomaterial osteoinduction are still poorly understood. This study used a murine intramuscular implantation model to demonstrate that calcium phosphate ceramics with different phase compositions exhibited divergent osteoinductivities. The osteoinductive potential of each ceramic was closely associated with the immunomodulatory capacity of the material, and especially with the regulation of macrophage polarization and functional status. Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics with superior osteoinductive potential enhanced the fraction of CD206+ M2 macrophages, up-regulated expression of M2 phenotypic markers in vitro, and increased the ARG+ M2 population in vivo. This suggested that BCP ceramics could ameliorate long-term inflammation and build a pro-osteogenic microenvironment. However, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) ceramics with no obvious osteoinductivity increased the fraction of CCR7+ M1 macrophages, promoted the secretion of M1 phenotypic markers in vitro, and maintained a high proportion of iNOS+ M1 macrophages in vivo. It indicated that β-TCP ceramics could exacerbate inflammation and inhibit ectopic bone formation. Hydroxyapatite ceramics with an intermediate osteoinductivity exhibited a moderate amount of both M1 and M2 macrophages. These findings highlight the critical role of macrophage polarization in biomaterial-dependent osteoinduction, which not only deepens our understanding of osteoinductive mechanisms but also provides a strategy to design bone substitutes by endowing materials with the proper immunomodulatory abilities to achieve the desired clinic performance. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics with osteoinductive capacities are able to induce ectopic bone formation in non-osseous sites. However, its underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Previous studies have demonstrated an indispensable role of macrophages in osteogenesis, inspiring us that local inflammatory reaction may affect material-dependent osteoinduction. This study indicated that CaP ceramics with different phase composition could present divergent osteoinductive capacities through modulating polarization and functional status of macrophages, as biphasic calcium phosphate with potent osteoinductivity ameliorated long-term inflammation and induced a healing-associated M2 phenotype to initiate bone formation. These findings not only get an insight into the mechanism of CaP-involved osteoinduction, but also help the design of tissue-inducing implants by endowing biomaterials with proper immunomodulatory ability.

Abstract
Metallic materials have been extensively applied in clinical practice due to their unique mechanical properties and durability. Recent years have witnessed broad interests and advances on surface functionalization of metallic implants for high-performance biofunctions. Calcium phosphates (CaPs) are the major inorganic component of bone tissues, and thus owning inherent biocompatibility and osseointegration properties. As such, they have been widely used in clinical orthopedics and dentistry. The new emergence of surface functionalization on metallic implants with CaP coatings shows promise for a combination of mechanical properties from metals and various biofunctions from CaPs. This review provides a brief summary of state-of-art of surface biofunctionalization on implantable metals by CaP coatings. We first glance over different types of CaPs with their coating methods and in vitro and in vivo performances, and then give insight into the representative biofunctions, i.e. osteointegration, corrosion resistance and biodegradation control, and antibacterial property, provided by CaP coatings for metallic implant materials.

Abstract
Although miRNAs have been implicated in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, their role in bone repair and reconstruction in tissue‑engineered bone grafts remains unclear. We previously reported that microRNA (miR)‑26a‑5p inhibited the osteogenic differentiation of adipose‑derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs), and that antimiR‑26a‑5p exerted the opposite effect. In the present study, the role of miR‑26a‑5p‑ and antimiR‑26a‑5p‑modified ADSCs combined with biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) scaffolds was evaluated in a rat femur defect model. The aim of the present study was to improve the understanding of the role of miR‑26a‑5p in bone regeneration in vivo, as well as to provide a new method to optimize the osteogenic ability of BCPs. ADSCs were infected with Lv‑miR‑26a‑5p, Lv‑miR‑NC, Lv‑antimiR‑26a‑5p or Lv‑antimiR‑NC respectively, and then combined with BCP scaffolds to repair rat femoral defects. Using X‑rays, micro‑computed tomography and histology at 2, 4, and 8 weeks postoperatively, the quantity and rate of bone regeneration were analyzed, revealing that they were the highest in animals treated with antimiR‑26a‑5p and the lowest in the miR‑26a‑5p treatment group. The expression levels of osteocalcin, collagen I, Runt‑related transcription factor 2, Wnt family member 5A and calmodulin‑dependent protein kinase II proteins were positively correlated with the bone formation rate. Taken together, the present results demonstrated that miR‑26a‑5p inhibited bone formation while antimiR‑26a‑5p accelerated bone formation via the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway. Therefore, antimiR‑26a‑5p‑modified ADSCs combined with BCP scaffolds may be used to construct an effective tissue‑engineering bone graft for bone repair and reconstruction.

Abstract
Bone defects remain a significant health issue and a major cause of morbidity in elderly patients. Composites based on collagen/calcium phosphate have been widely used for bone repair in clinical applications, owing to their comparability to bone extracellular matrix. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a scaffold of collagen/calcium phosphate (COL/β-TCP) on bone formation to assess its potential use as a bone substitute to repair bone defects. Bilateral full-thickness critically sized calvarial defects (8 mm in diameter) were created in New Zealand white rabbits and treated with COL/β-TCP or COL scaffolds. One defect was also left unfilled as a control. Bone regeneration was assessed through histological evaluation using hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining after 4 and 8 weeks. Alizarin Red staining was also utilized to observe the mineralization process. Our findings indicated that COL/β-TCP implantation could better enhance bone regeneration than COL and exhibited both new bone growth and scaffold material degradation.

Abstract
Effect of octacalcium phosphate/gelatin composite (OCP/Gel) on angiogenesis was studied by its implantation in rat calvaria critical-sized defect in relation to bone regeneration for 2 and 4 weeks. The implantation of OCP/Gel disks was analyzed by radiomorphometry using a radiopaque material perfusion (Microfil®) method and histomorphometry by hematoxylin and eosin-staining before and after the decalcification. Effect of the OCP dose in the range up to 4 mg per well on the capillary-like tube formation by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) was also examined in a transwell cell culture. The results showed that the blood vessels formation by OCP/Gel group was significantly higher at 2 weeks than other groups but decreased at 4 weeks during the advancement of new bone formation. The capillary-like tube formation was highest in an OCP dose of 1 mg per well while other OCP doses above or below 1 mg did not show such a stimulatory effect. The results established both in vivo and in vitro confirmed that OCP has a positive effect on angiogenesis during bone regeneration in a suitable dose ranges, suggesting that the angiogenesis stimulated by OCP could be involved in the OCP/Gel-enhanced bone regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We have reported that octacalcium phosphate (OCP) materials display stimulatory capacities on the bone tissue-related cells. However, the effect of OCP on the angiogenesis and its relation to the OCP-enhanced bone regeneration is unknown. This study confirmed the capacity of OCP on angiogenesis before increasing the new bone mass after the implantation of a composite of OCP and gelatin (OCP/Gel). The blood vessels formation took place associated with the area beginning of the new bone formation, which finally decreased together with development of bone formation. Because OCP was ascertained stimulating the capillary-like tube formation in HUVEC culture with a certain OCP dose, the present study is the first report showing the capacity of OCP on angiogenesis during the OCP/Gel-enhanced bone regeneration.

Abstract
Conventional biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) bioceramics are facing many challenges to meet the demands of regenerative medicine, and their biological properties are limited to a large extent due to the large grain size in comparison with nanocrystalline of natural bone mineral. Herein, this study aimed to fabricate porous BCP ceramic spheres with nanocrystalline (BCP-N) by combining alginate gelatinizing with microwave hybrid sintering methods and investigated their in vitro and in vivo combinational osteogenesis potential. For comparison, spherical BCP granules with microcrystalline (BCP-G) and commercially irregular BCP granules (BAM, BCP-I) were selected as control. The obtained BCP-N with specific nanotopography could well initiate and regulate in vitro biological response, such as degradation, protein adsorption, bone-like apatite formation, cell behaviors, and osteogenic differentiation. In vivo canine intramuscular implantation and rabbit mandible critical-sized bone defect repair further confirmed that nanotopography in BCP-N might be responsible for the stronger osteoinductivity and bone regenerative ability than BCP-G and BCP-I. Collectedly, due to nanotopographic similarities with nature bone apatite, BCP-N has excellent efficacy in guiding bone regeneration and holds great potential to become a potential alternative to standard bone grafts in bone defect filling applications.

Abstract
Osteochondral defects occur in the superficial cartilage region, intermediate calcified cartilage, and subchondral bone. Due to the limited regenerative capacity and complex zonal structure, it is critically difficult to develop strategies for osteochondral defect repair that could meet clinical requirements. In this study, type I collagen (Col I) and BCP ceramics were used to fabricate a new bi-layer scaffold for regeneration in osteochondral defects. The in vitro studies showed that the bi-layer scaffold provided special functions for cell migration, proliferation and secretion due to the layered scaffold structure. The in vivo results demonstrated that the bi-layered scaffold could effectively promote the regeneration of both the cartilage and the subchondral bone, and the newly formed cartilage layer, with a similar structure and thickness to the natural cartilaginous layer, could seamlessly integrate with the surrounding natural cartilage and regenerate an interface layer to mimic the native osteochondral structure. A new bi-layer scaffold composed of Col I and BCP ceramic was prepared to regenerate osteochondral defect. The result demonstrated the bi-layer scaffold could effectively promote the regeneration of both the cartilage and the subchondral bone layer.![]()

Abstract
As spinal fusions require large volumes of bone graft, different bone graft substitutes are being investigated as alternatives. A subclass of calcium phosphate materials with submicron surface topography has been shown to be a highly effective bone graft substitute. In this work, a commercially available biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) with submicron surface topography (MagnetOs; Kuros Biosciences BV) was evaluated in an Ovine model of instrumented posterolateral fusion. The material was implanted stand-alone, either as granules (BCPgranules) or as granules embedded within a fast-resorbing polymeric carrier (BCPputty) and compared to autograft bone (AG). Twenty-five adult, female Merino sheep underwent posterolateral fusion at L2-3 and L4-5 levels with instrumentation. After 6, 12, and 26 weeks, outcomes were evaluated by manual palpation, range of motion (ROM) testing, micro-computed tomography, histology and histomorphometry. Fusion assessment by manual palpation 12 weeks after implantation revealed 100% fusion rates in all treatment groups. The three treatment groups showed a significant decrease in lateral bending at the fusion levels at 12 weeks (P < 0.05) and 26 weeks (P < 0.001) compared to the 6 week time-point. Flexion-extension and axial rotation were also reduced over time, but statistical significance was only reached in flexion-extension for AG and BCPputty between the 6 and 26 week time-points (P < 0.05). No significant differences in ROM were observed between the treatment groups at any of the time-points investigated. Histological assessment at 12 weeks showed fusion rates of 75%, 92%, and 83% for AG, BCPgranules and BCPputty, respectively. The fusion rates were further increased 26 weeks postimplantation. Similar trends of bone growth were observed by histomorphometry. The fusion mass consisted of at least 55% bone for all treatment groups 26 weeks after implantation. These results suggest that this BCP with submicron surface topography, in granules or putty form, is a promising alternative to autograft for spinal fusion.

Abstract
Scaffolds have been studied during the last decades as an alternative method to repair tissues. They are porous structures that act as a substrate for cellular growth, proliferation and differentiation. In this study, scaffolds of β-tricalcium phosphate with calcium silicate fibers were prepared by gel casting method in order to be characterized and validated as a better choice for bone tissue treatment. Gel-casting led to scaffolds with high porosity (84%) and pores sizes varying from 160 to 500 µm, which is an important factor for the neovascularization of the growing tissue. Biocompatible and bioactive calcium silicate fibers, which can be successfully produced by molten salt method, were added into the scaffolds as a manner to improve its mechanical resistance and bioactivity. The addition of 5 wt% of calcium silicate fibers associated with a higher sintering temperature (1300 °C) increased by 64.6% the compressive strength of the scaffold and it has also led to the formation of a dense and uniform apatite layer after biomineralization assessment.

Abstract
Emerging studies show the potential application of synthetic biomaterials that are intrinsically osteoconductive and osteoinductive as bone grafts to treat critical bone defects. Here, the biomaterial not only assists recruitment of endogenous cells, but also supports cellular activities relevant to bone tissue formation and function. While such biomaterial-mediated in situ tissue engineering is highly attractive, success of such an approach relies largely on the regenerative potential of the recruited cells, which is anticipated to vary with age. In this study, we investigated the effect of the age of the host on mineralized biomaterial-mediated bone tissue repair using critical-sized cranial defects as a model system. Mice of varying ages, 1-month-old (juvenile), 2-month-old (young-adult), 6-month-old (middle-aged), and 14-month-old (elderly), were used as recipients. Our results show that the bio-mineralized scaffolds support bone tissue formation by recruiting endogenous cells for all groups albeit with differences in an age-related manner. Analyses of bone tissue formation after 2 and 8 weeks post-treatment show low mineral deposition and reduced number of osteocalcin and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-expressing cells in elderly mice. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Tissue engineering strategies that promote tissue repair through recruitment of endogenous cells will have a significant impact in regenerative medicine. Previous studies from our group have shown that biomineralized materials containing calcium phosphate minerals can contribute to neo-bone tissue through recruitment and activation of endogenous cells. In this study, we investigated the effect of age of the recipient on biomaterial-mediated bone tissue repair. Our results show that the age of the recipient mouse had a significant impact on the quality and quantity of the engineered neo-bone tissues, in which delayed/compromised bone tissue formation was observed in older mice. These findings are in agreement with the clinical observations that age of patients is a key factor in bone repair.

Abstract
Osteoinductivity of porous calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics has been widely investigated and confirmed, and it might be attributed to the rapid formation of the vascular networks after in vivo implantation of the ceramics. In this study, to explore the vascularization mechanism within the CaP ceramics, the migration and differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) under the stimulation of porous biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic with excellent osteoinductivity were systematically investigated. The results indicated that the directional migration of BMSCs toward BCP ceramic occurred when evaluated by using a transwell model, and the BMSCs migration was enhanced by the seeded macrophages on the ceramic in advance. Besides, by directly culturing BMSCs on BCP ceramic discs under both in vitro and in vivo physiological environment, it was found that the differentiation of BMSCs toward vascular endothelial cells (VECs) happened under the stimulation of BCP ceramic, as was confirmed by the up-regulated gene expressions and protein secretions of VECs-related characteristic factors, including kinase insert domain receptor, von willebrand factor, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and cadherin 5 in the BMSCs. This study offered a possibility for explaining the origin of VECs during the rapid vascularization process after in vivo implantation of porous CaP ceramics and could give some useful guidance to reveal the vascularization mechanism of the ceramics.

Abstract
This work aimed at investigating the possibility and effectiveness of osteoinductive calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics to close the drilled skull holes and prevent the postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaking in children’s endoscopic neurosurgery. Five children patients (four boys and one girl, 3- to 8-years old) underwent the surgery, in which the endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) was operated in four cases of hydrocephalus, and biopsy and ETV were both performed in one case of pineal tumor. The drilled skull holes were filled with the commercial osteoinductive CaP ceramics. The patients were followed up by CT scan at 1, 7 days, 3 and 6 months postoperatively. All the five cases were successful, and the holes were closed well after filled with the ceramics. The follow-up survey showed that no CSF leaking or rejection reaction was found. The CT scan indicated that the drilled holes began healing at 7 days postoperatively, and a relatively complete healing happened at 6 months postoperatively. The excellent ability of the CaP ceramics to induce bone regeneration was also confirmed by repairing the skull defects in a monkey model. The results of μ-CT and histological analysis showed that a bony structure with irregular array occurred at the defect area, and the newly formed bone volume density reached 65.7%. In conclusion, the osteoinductive CaP ceramics could be an ideal material to treat the drilled skull holes in children’s endoscopic neurosurgery and prevent CSF leaking afterwards. However, further investigation with more cases and longer follow-up was required to evaluate the clinical effect.

Abstract
A multifaceted coating for hard tissue implants, with favorable osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and osteoimmunomodulation abilities, would be of great value since it could improve osseointegration and alleviate prosthesis loosening. However, to date there are few coatings that fully satisfy these criteria. Herein we describe a microporous TiO2 coating decorated with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles that is generated by micro-arc oxidation of pure titanium (Ti) and followed annealing. By altering the annealing temperature, it is possible to simultaneously tune the coating's physical (morphology and wettability) and chemical (composites and crystallinity) properties. A coating produced with micro-arc oxidization (MAO) with an annealing temperature of 650 °C (MAO-650) exhibits numerous favorable physicochemical properties, such as hybrid micro-nano morphology, superhydrophilicity, and highly crystalline HA nanoparticles. In vitro experiments reveal that the MAO-650 coating not only supports proliferation and differentiation of both osteoblasts and endothelial cells, but also inhibits the inflammatory response of macrophages and enables a favorable osteoimmunomodulation to facilitate osteo/angio-genesis. In vivo evaluation mirrors these results, and shows that the MAO-650 coating results in ameliorative osseointegration when compared with the pristine MAO coating. These data highlight the profound effect of surface physicochemical properties on the regulation of osteo/angio-genesis and osteoimmunomodulation in the enhancement of osseointegration.

Abstract
In this article, we proposed a facile protocol to functionalize porous calcium phosphate ceramics (PCPC) using dietary tea polyphenols (TP). TP molecules was attracted and anchored by Ca2+ ions from the surface of CPC. These TP molecules modulated the nucleation and crystallization of calcium phosphate nanorods assemblies on the surface of PCPC. Our results prove that these calcium phosphate nanorods assemblies accompanies functional groups of TP make PCPC/TP effectively promote proliferation and differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). We inferred that these calcium phosphate nanorods assemblies might change the surface microenvironment of PCPC, which is critical to promote the proliferation and differentiation of BMSCs. Compared with naked PCPC, PCPC/TP obviously increased BMP2, ErK/MAPK and JNK/MAPK level and mineralization capacity of cells (ALP level).

Abstract
Although bone is regenerative, its regeneration capacity is limited. For bone defects beyond a critical size, further intervention is required. As an attractive strategy, bone tissue engineering (bone TE) has been widely investigated to repair bone defects. However, the rapid and effective bone regeneration of large non-healing defects is still a great challenge. Multifunctional scaffolds having osteoinductivity and osteoconductivity are desirable to fasten functional bone tissue regeneration. In the present study, biomimetic composite scaffolds of collagen and biphasic calcium phosphate nanoparticles (BCP NPs) with a controlled release of dexamethasone (DEX) and the controlled pore structures were prepared for bone TE. DEX was introduced in the BCP NPs during preparation of the BCP NPs and hybridized with collagen scaffolds, which pore structures were controlled by using pre-prepared ice particulates as a porogen material. The composite scaffolds had well controlled and interconnected pore structures, high mechanical strength and a sustained release of DEX. The composite scaffolds showed good biocompatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs when used for three-dimensional culture of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Subcutaneous implantation of the composite scaffolds at the dorsa of athymic nude mice demonstrated that they facilitated the ectopic bone tissue regeneration. The results indicated the DEX-loaded BCP NPs/collagen composite scaffolds had high potential for bone TE. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Scaffolds play a crucial role for regeneration of large bone defects. Biomimetic scaffolds having the same composition of natural bone and a controlled release of osteoinductive factors are desirable for promotion of bone regeneration. In this study, composite scaffolds of collagen and biphasic CaP nanoparticles (BCP NPs) with a controlled release nature of dexamethasone (DEX) were prepared and their porous structures were controlled by using ice particulates. In vitro cell culture and in vivo implantation experiments demonstrated the composite scaffolds exerted synergistic effects on the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs and bone regeneration. The composite scaffolds also showed promotive effect on the formation of capillary blood vessels in the regenerated bone. This study is the first research to prepare DEX-loaded BCP NPs/collagen porous composite scaffolds. The superior performance of the composite scaffolds indicates the composite scaffolds should be useful for bone tissue engineering.
