Abstract
Repair of bone defects exceeding a critical size has been always a big challenge in clinical practice. Tissue engineering has exhibited great potential to effectively repair the defects with less adverse effect than traditional bone grafts, during which how to induce vascularized bone formation has been recognized as a critical issue. Therefore, recently many studies have been launched to attempt to promote osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling. This review summarized comprehensively and explored in depth current efforts to ameliorate the coupling of osteogenesis and angiogenesis from four aspects, namely the optimization of scaffold components, modification of scaffold structures, loading strategies for bioactive substances, and employment tricks for appropriate cells. Especially, the advantages and the possible reasons for every strategy, as well as the challenges, were elaborated. Furthermore, some promising research directions were proposed based on an in-depth analysis of the current research. This paper will hopefully spark new ideas and approaches for more efficiently boosting new vascularized bone formations.

Abstract
3D printing has become increasingly popular in the field of bone tissue engineering. However, the mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and porosity of the 3D printed bone scaffolds are major requirements for tissue regeneration and implantation as well. Designing the scaffold architecture in accordance with the need to create better mechanical and biological stimuli is necessary to achieve unique scaffold properties. To accomplish this, different 3D designing strategies can be utilized with the help of the scaffold design library and artificial intelligence (AI). The implementation of AI to assist the 3D printing process can enable it to predict, adapt, and control the parameters on its own, which lowers the risk of errors. This Review emphasizes 3D design and fabrication of bone scaffold using different materials and the use of AI-aided 3D printing strategies. Also, the adaption of AI to 3D printing helps to develop patient-specific scaffolds based on different requirements, thus providing feedback and adequate data for reproducibility, which can be improvised in the future. These printed scaffolds can also serve as an alternative to preclinical animal test models to cut costs and prevent immunological interference.

Abstract
Conventional osteogenic platforms utilize active growth factors to repair bone defects that are extensive in size, but they can adversely affect patient health. Here, an unconventional osteogenic platform is reported that functions by promoting capture of inactive osteogenic growth factor molecules to the site of cell growth for subsequent integrin-mediated activation, using a recombinant fragment of latent transforming growth factor beta-binding protein-1 (rLTBP1). It is shown that rLTBP1 binds to the growth-factor- and integrin-binding domains of fibronectin on poly(ethyl acrylate) surfaces, which immobilizes rLTBP1 and promotes the binding of latency associated peptide (LAP), within which inactive transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is bound. rLTBP1 facilitates the interaction of LAP with integrin β1 and the subsequent mechanically driven release of TGF-β1 to stimulate canonical TGF-β1 signaling, activating osteogenic marker expression in vitro and complete regeneration of a critical-sized bone defect in vivo.

Abstract
Very large bone defects significantly diminish the vascular, blood, and nutrient supply to the injured site, reducing the bone's ability to self-regenerate and complicating treatment. Delivering nanomedicines from biomaterial scaffolds that induce host cells to produce bone-healing proteins is emerging as an appealing solution for treating these challenging defects. In this context, microRNA-26a mimics (miR-26a) are particularly interesting as they target the two most relevant processes in bone regeneration-angiogenesis and osteogenesis. However, the main limitation of microRNAs is their poor stability and issues with cytosolic delivery. Thus, utilising a collagen-nanohydroxyapatite (coll-nHA) scaffold in combination with cell-penetrating peptide (RALA) nanoparticles, we aimed to develop an effective system to deliver miR-26a nanoparticles to regenerate bone defects in vivo. The microRNA-26a complexed RALA nanoparticles, which showed the highest transfection efficiency, were incorporated into collagen-nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds and in vitro assessment demonstrated the miR-26a-activated scaffolds effectively transfected human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) resulting in enhanced production of vascular endothelial growth factor, increased alkaline phosphatase activity, and greater mineralisation. After implantation in critical-sized rat calvarial defects, micro CT and histomorphological analysis revealed that the miR-26a-activated scaffolds improved bone repair in vivo, producing new bone of superior quality, which was highly mineralised and vascularised compared to a miR-free scaffold. This innovative combination of osteogenic collagen-nanohydroxyapatite scaffolds with multifunctional microRNA-26a complexed nanoparticles provides an effective carrier delivering nanoparticles locally with high efficacy and minimal off-target effects and demonstrates the potential of targeting osteogenic-angiogenic coupling using scaffold-based nanomedicine delivery as a new "off-the-shelf" product capable of healing complex bone injuries.

Abstract
Mandibular tissue engineering aims to develop synthetic substitutes for the regeneration of critical size defects (CSD) caused by a variety of events, including tumor surgery and post-traumatic resections. Currently, the gold standard clinical treatment of mandibular resections (i.e., autologous fibular flap) has many drawbacks, driving research efforts toward scaffold design and fabrication by additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. Once implanted, the scaffold acts as a support for native tissue and facilitates processes that contribute to its regeneration, such as cells infiltration, matrix deposition and angiogenesis. However, to fulfil these functions, scaffolds must provide bioactivity by mimicking natural properties of the mandible in terms of structure, composition and mechanical behavior. This review aims to present the state of the art of scaffolds made with AM techniques that are specifically employed in mandibular tissue engineering applications. Biomaterials chemical composition and scaffold structural properties are deeply discussed, along with strategies to promote osteogenesis (i.e., delivery of biomolecules, incorporation of stem cells, and approaches to induce vascularization in the constructs). Finally, a comparison of in vivo studies is made by taking into consideration the amount of new bone formation (NB), the CSD dimensions, and the animal model.

Abstract
Spinal cord injury is a complex environment, with many conflicting growth factors present at different times throughout the injury timeline. Delivery of multiple growth factors has received mixed results, highlighting a need to consider the timing of delivery for possibly antagonistic growth factors. Cell-mediated degradation of delivery vehicles for delayed release of growth factors offers an attractive way to exploit the highly active immune response in the spinal cord injury environment. In this study, growth factor-loaded gelatin microspheres (GMS) combined with methacrylated hyaluronic acid (MeHA) were electrospun to create GMS fibers (GMSF) for delayed release of growth factors (GFs). GMS were successfully combined with MeHA while electrospinning, with an average fiber diameter of 365 ± 10 nm and 44% ± 8% fiber alignment. GMSF with nerve growth factor (NGF) was tested on dissociated chick dorsal root ganglia cells. We further tested the effect of M1 macrophage-conditioned media (M1CM) to simulate macrophage invasion after spinal cord injury for cell-mediated degradation. We hypothesized that neurons grown on GMSF with loaded NGF would exhibit longer neurites in M1CM, showing a release of functional NGF, as compared with controls. GMSF in M1CM was significantly different from MeHA in serum-free media (SFM) and M0-conditioned media (M0CM), as well as GMSF in M0CM (p < 0.05). Moreover, GMSF + NGF in all media conditions were significantly different from MeHA in SFM and M0CM (p < 0.05). The goal of this study was to develop a biomaterial system where drug delivery is triggered by immune response, allowing for more control and longer exposure to encapsulated drugs. The spinal cord injury microenvironment is known to have a robust immune response, making this immune-medicated drug release system particularly significant for directed repair.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a complex process sequentially regulated by multiple cytokines at different stages. Vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) are the two most important factors involved in this process, and the combination of the two can achieve better bone regeneration by coupling angiogenesis and osteogenesis. In this study, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres with core-shell structure (microcapsules) encapsulating VEGF-A or BMP-2 were prepared by coaxial channel injection and continuous fluid technology. The sequential release of two cytokines by microcapsules with different PLGA molecular weight and shell thickness and its performance in vitro were explored. It was demonstrated that the molecular weight of PLGA significantly affected the degradation and release kinetics of microcapsules, while the thickness of the shell can regulate the release in a finer level. VEGF-A encapsulated microcapsules with low molecular weight can induce vascular endothelial cells to form lumens structures in vitro at an early stage. And BMP-2 encapsulated microcapsules could promote osteogenic differentiation, but the effect could be delayed when the microcapsules were prepared with PLGA of 150 kDa. In conclusion, the core-shell PLGA microcapsules in this study can sequentially release VEGF-A and BMP-2 at different stages to simulate natural bone repair.

Abstract
Endogenous repair of critical bone defects is typically hampered by inadequate vascularization in the early stages and insufficient bone regeneration later on. Therefore, drug delivery systems with the ability to couple angiogenesis and osteogenesis in a spatiotemporal manner are highly desirable for vascularized bone formation. Herein, we devoted to develop a liquid crystal formulation system (LCFS) attaining a controlled temporal release of angiogenic and osteoinductive bioactive molecules that could orchestrate the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis in an optimal way. It has been demonstrated that the release kinetics of biomolecules depend on the hydrophobicity of the loaded molecules, making the delivery profile programmable and controllable. The hydrophilic deferoxamine (DFO) could be released rapidly within 5 days to activate angiogenic signaling, while the lipophilic simvastatin (SIM) showed a slow and sustained release for continuous osteogenic induction. Apart from its good biocompatibility with mesenchymal stem cells derived from rat bone marrow (rBMSCs), the DFO/SIM loaded LCFS could stimulate the formation of a vascular morphology in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs in vitro. The in vivo rat femoral defect models have witnessed the prominent angiogenic and osteogenic effects induced by the sequential presentation of DFO and SIM. This study suggests that the sequential release of DFO and SIM from the LCFS results in enhanced bone formation, offering a facile and viable treatment option for bone defects by mimicking the physiological process of bone regeneration.

Abstract
The prevalence of bone injuries is greatly increasing each year and the proper healing of fractures without any complications is very challenging. Self-setting calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) have attracted great attention as bioactive synthetic bone substitutes. Quercetin (QT) is a multipurposed drug with reported bone-conserving properties. The loading of QT and QT-phospholipid complex within nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) was proposed to overcome the poor physical properties of the drug and to introduce the use of bioactive excipients as phospholipids and olive oil. The aim of this work was to formulate a regenerative scaffold loaded with nano-formulated QT for local treatment of orthopedic fractures. For the first time, scaffolds composed of brushite CPC were prepared and loaded with quercetin lipid nano-systems. In vitro tests proved that the addition of lipid nano-systems did not deteriorate the properties of CPC where QT-NLC/CPC showed an adequate setting time, appropriate compressive strength, and porosity. The scanning electron microscope confirmed maintenance of nanoparticles integrity within the cement. Using a rat femur bone defect animal model, the histological results showed that the QT-NLC/CPC had a superior bone healing potential compared to crude unformulated QT/CPC. In conclusion, QT-NLC /CPC are promising lipid nano-composite materials that could enhance bone regeneration.

The development of tunable, ultrasound-responsive hydrogels that can deliver protein payload on-demand when exposed to focused ultrasound is described in this study. Reversible Diels-Alder linkers, which undergo a retro reaction when stimulated with ultrasound, were used to cross-link chitosan hydrogels with entrapped FITC-BSA as a model protein therapeutic payload. Two Diels-Alder linkage compositions with large differences in the reverse reaction energy barriers were compared to explore the influence of linker composition on ultrasound response. Selected physicochemical properties of the hydrogel construct, its basic degradation kinetics, and its cytocompatibility were measured with respect to Diels-Alder linkage composition. Focused ultrasound initiated the retro Diels-Alder reaction, controlling the release of the entrapped payload while also allowing for real-time visualization of the ongoing process. Additionally, increasing the focused ultrasound amplitude and time correlated with an increased rate of protein release, indicating stimuli responsive control.

Abstract
Enabling challenging applications of nanomedicine and precision medicine in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders requires deeper investigations of nanocarrier-mediated biomolecular delivery for neuronal targeting and recovery. The successful use of macromolecular biotherapeutics (recombinant growth factors, antibodies, enzymes, synthetic peptides, cell-penetrating peptide–drug conjugates, and RNAi sequences) in clinical developments for neuronal regeneration should benefit from the recent strategies for enhancement of their bioavailability. We highlight the advances in the development of nanoscale materials for drug delivery in neurodegenerative disorders. The emphasis is placed on nanoformulations for the delivery of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) using different types of lipidic nanocarriers (liposomes, liquid crystalline or solid lipid nanoparticles) and polymer-based scaffolds, nanofibers and hydrogels. Self-assembled soft-matter nanoscale materials show favorable neuroprotective characteristics, safety, and efficacy profiles in drug delivery to the central and peripheral nervous systems. The advances summarized here indicate that neuroprotective biomolecule-loaded nanoparticles and injectable hydrogels can improve neuronal survival and reduce tissue injury. Certain recently reported neuronal dysfunctions in long-COVID-19 survivors represent early manifestations of neurodegenerative pathologies. Therefore, BDNF delivery systems may also help in prospective studies on recovery from long-term COVID-19 neurological complications and be considered as promising systems for personalized treatment of neuronal dysfunctions and prevention or retarding of neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to establish a modular platform of poly-L-lysine-heparin (PLL-Hep) polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) coatings on titanium surfaces for dual growth factor delivery of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rhBMP2) and recombinant human vascular endothelial growth factor 165 (rhVEGF165) in clinically relevant quantities. Release characteristics for both growth factors differed significantly depending on film architecture. rhBMP2 induced activation of alkaline phosphatase in C2C12 cells and proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). rhVEGF mediated induction of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in hMSCs and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Osteogenic and angiogenic effects were modified by variation in cross-linking and architecture of the PEMs. By creating multilayer films with distinct zones, release characteristics and proportion of both growth factor delivery could be tuned and surface-activity modified to enhance angiogenic or osteogenic function in various ways. In summary, the system provides a modular platform for growth factor delivery that allows for individual composition and accentuation of angiogenic and osteogenic surface properties.

Abstract
The superiority of in vitro 3D cultures over conventional 2D cell cultures is well recognized by the scientific community for its relevance in mimicking the native tissue architecture and functionality. The recent paradigm shift in the field of tissue engineering toward the development of 3D in vitro models can be realized with its myriad of applications, including drug screening, developing alternative diagnostics, and regenerative medicine. Hydrogels are considered the most suitable biomaterial for developing an in vitro model owing to their similarity in features to the extracellular microenvironment of native tissue. In this review article, recent progress in the use of hydrogel-based biomaterial for the development of 3D in vitro biomimetic tissue models is highlighted. Discussions of hydrogel sources and the latest hybrid system with different combinations of biopolymers are also presented. The hydrogel crosslinking mechanism and design consideration are summarized, followed by different types of available hydrogel module systems along with recent microfabrication technologies. We also present the latest developments in engineering hydrogel-based 3D in vitro models targeting specific tissues. Finally, we discuss the challenges surrounding current in vitro platforms and 3D models in the light of future perspectives for an improved biomimetic in vitro organ system.

Abstract
Engineering approaches for growth factor delivery have been considerably advanced for tissue regeneration, yet most of them fail to provide a complex combination of signals emulating a natural healing cascade, which substantially limits their clinical successes. Herein, we aimed to emulate the natural bone healing cascades by coupling the processes of angiogenesis and osteogenesis with a hybrid dual growth factor delivery system to achieve vascularized bone formation. Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was loaded into methacrylate gelatin (GelMA) to mimic angiogenic signalling during the inflammation and soft callus phases of the bone healing process, while bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) was bound onto mineral coated microparticles (MCM) to mimics osteogenic signalling in the hard callus and bone remodelling phases. An Initial high concentration of bFGF accompanied by a sustainable release of BMP-2 and inorganic ions was realized to orchestrate well-coupled osteogenic and angiogenic effects for bone regeneration. In vitro experiments indicated that the hybrid hydrogel markedly enhanced the formation of vasculature in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), as well as the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In vivo results confirmed the optimal osteogenic performance of our F/G-B/M hydrogel, which was primarily attributed to the FGF-induced vascularization. This research presents a facile and potent alternative for treating bone defects by emulating natural cascades of bone healing.

Abstract
Vascularization is a key event and also still a challenge in tissue engineering. Many efforts have been devoted to the development of vascularization based on cells, growth factors, and porous scaffolds in the past decades. Among these efforts, the architecture features of pores in scaffolds played important roles for vascularization, which have attracted increasing attention. It has been known that the open macro pores in scaffolds could facilitate cell migration, nutrient, and oxygen diffusion, which then could promote new tissue formation and vascularization. The pore parameters are the important factors affecting cells response and vessel formation. Thus, this review will give an overview of the current advances in the effects of pore parameters on vascularization in tissue engineering, mainly including pore size, interconnectivity, pore size distribution, pore shape (channel structure), and the micro/nano-surface topography of pores.

Abstract
To induce bone regeneration there is a complex cascade of growth factors. Growth factors such as recombinant BMP-2, BMP-7, and PDGF are FDA-approved therapies in bone regeneration. Although, BMP shows promising results as being an alternative to autograft, it also has its own downfalls. BMP-2 has many adverse effects such as inflammatory complications such as massive soft-tissue swelling that can compromise a patient's airway, ectopic bone formation, and tumor formation. BMP-2 may also be advantageous for patients not willing to give up smoking as it shows bone regeneration success with smokers. BMP-7 is no longer an option for bone regeneration as it has withdrawn off the market. PDGF-BB grafts in studies have shown PDGF had similar fusion rates to autologous grafts and fewer adverse effects. There is also an FDA-approved bioactive molecule for bone regeneration, a peptide P-15. P-15 was found to be effective, safe, and have similar outcomes to autograft at 2 years post-op for cervical radiculopathy due to cervical degenerative disc disease. Growth factors and bioactive molecules show some promising results in bone regeneration, although more research is needed to avoid their adverse effects and learn about the long-term effects of these therapies. There is a need of a bone regeneration method of similar quality of an autograft that is osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic. This review covers all FDA-approved bone regeneration therapies such as the "gold standard" autografts, allografts, synthetic bone grafts, and the newer growth factors/bioactive molecules. It also covers international bone grafts not yet approved in the United States and upcoming technologies in bone grafts.

Abstract
Macromers, polymeric molecules with at least two functional groups for cross-polymerization, are interesting materials to tailor mechanical, biochemical and degradative bulk and surface properties of implants for tissue regeneration. In this review we focus on macromers with at least one biodegradable building block. Manifold design options, such as choice of polymeric block(s), optional core molecule and reactive groups, as well as cross-co-polymerization with suitable anchor or linker molecules, allow the adaptation of macromer-based biomaterials towards specific application requirements in both hard and soft tissue regeneration. Implants can be manufactured from macromers using additive manufacturing as well as molding and templating approaches. This review summarizes and discusses the overall concept of biodegradable macromers and recent approaches for macromer processing into implants as well as techniques for surface modification directed towards bone regeneration. These aspects are reviewed including a focus on the authors' contributions to the field through research within the collaborative research project Transregio 67.

Abstract
For craniofacial bone regeneration, how to promote vascularized bone regeneration is still a significant problem, and the controlled release of trace elements vital to osteogenesis has attracted attention. In this study, an ion co-delivery system was developed to promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Magnesium ions (Mg2+) and lanthanum ions (La3+) were selected as biosignal molecules because Mg2+can promote angiogenesis and both of them can enhance bone formation. Microspheres made of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) were applied to load La2(CO3)3, which was embedded into a MgO/MgCO3-loaded cryogel made of photocrosslinkable gelatin methacryloyl to enable co-delivery of Mg2+and La3+. Evaluations of angiogenesis and osteogenesis were conducted via bothin vitrocell culture using human bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells andin vivoimplantation using a rat model with calvarial defect (5 mm in diameter). Compared to systems releasing only Mg2+or La3+, the combination system demonstrated more significant effects on blood vessels formation, thereby promoting the regeneration of vascularized bone tissue. At 8 weeks post-implantation, the new bone volume/total bone volume ratio reached a value of 40.1 ± 0.9%. In summary, a properly designed scaffold system with the capacity to release ions of different bioactivities in a desired pattern can be a promising strategy to meet vascularized bone regeneration requirements.

Abstract
Bone-tissue defects affect millions of people worldwide. Despite being common treatment approaches, autologous and allogeneic bone grafting have not achieved the ideal therapeutic effect. This has prompted researchers to explore novel bone-regeneration methods. In recent decades, the development of bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds has been leading the forefront of this field. As researchers have provided deep insights into bone physiology and the bone-healing mechanism, various biomimicking and bioinspired BTE scaffolds have been reported. Now it is necessary to review the progress of natural bone physiology and bone healing mechanism, which will provide more valuable enlightenments for researchers in this field. This work details the physiological microenvironment of the natural bone tissue, bone-healing process, and various biomolecules involved therein. Next, according to the bone physiological microenvironment and the delivery of bioactive factors based on the bone-healing mechanism, it elaborates the biomimetic design of a scaffold, highlighting the designing of BTE scaffolds according to bone biology and providing the rationale for designing next-generation BTE scaffolds that conform to natural bone healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Ribonucleic acids (small interfering RNA, microRNA, and messenger RNA) have been emerging as a promising new class of therapeutics for bone regeneration. So far, however, research has mostly focused on stability and complexation of these oligonucleotides for systemic delivery. By comparison, delivery of RNA nanocomplexes from biomaterial carriers can facilitate a spatiotemporally controlled local delivery of osteogenic oligonucleotides. This review provides an overview of the state-of-the-art in the design of biomaterials which allow for temporal and spatial control over RNA delivery. We correlate this concept of spatiotemporally controlled RNA delivery to the most relevant events that govern bone regeneration to evaluate to which extent tuning of release kinetics is required. In addition, inspired by the physiological principles of bone regeneration, potential new RNA targets are presented. Finally, considerations for clinical translation and upscaled production are summarized to stimulate the design of clinically relevant RNA-releasing biomaterials.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration aims to achieve functional restoration following injury by creating an environment to enable the body to self-repair. Strategies for regeneration rely on the introduction of biomaterial scaffolding, cells and bioactive molecules into the body, at or near the injury site. Of these bioactive molecules, growth factors (GFs) play a pivotal role in directing regenerative pathways for many cell populations. However, the therapeutic use of GFs has been limited by the complexity of biological injury and repair, and the properties of the GFs themselves, including their short half-life, poor tissue penetration, and off-target side effects. Externally triggered delivery systems have the potential to facilitate the delivery of GFs into the target tissues with considerations of the timing, sequence, amount, and location of GF presentation. This review briefly discusses the challenges facing the therapeutic use of GFs, then, we discuss approaches to externally trigger GF release from delivery systems categorised by stimulation type; ultrasound, temperature, light, magnetic fields and electric fields. Overall, while the use of GFs for tissue regeneration is still in its infancy, externally controlled GF delivery technologies have the potential to achieve robust and effective solutions to present GFs to injured tissues. Future technological developments must occur in conjunction with a comprehensive understanding of the biology at the injury site to ensure translation of promising technologies into real world benefit.

Abstract
This work describes the wettability and biological performance of Zn- and Cu-containing CaP-based coatings prepared by micro-arc oxidation on pure titanium (Ti) and novel Ti-40Nb alloy. Good hydrophilic properties of all the coatings were demonstrated by the low contact angles with liquids, not exceeding 45°. An increase in the applied voltage led to an increase of the coating roughness and porosity, thereby reducing the contact angles to 6° with water and to 17° with glycerol. The free surface energy of 75 ± 3 mJ/m2 for all the coatings were determined. Polar component was calculated as the main component of surface energy, caused by the presence of strong polar PO43− and OH− bonds. In vitro studies showed that low Cu and Zn amounts (~0.4 at.%) in the coatings promoted high motility of human adipose-derived multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMMSC) on the implant/cell interface and subsequent cell ability to differentiate into osteoblasts. In vivo study demonstrated 100% ectopic bone formation only on the surface of the CaP coating on Ti. The Zn- and Cu-containing CaP coatings on both substrates and the CaP coating on the Ti-40Nb alloy slightly decreased the incidence of ectopic osteogenesis down to 67%. The MAO coatings showed antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and can be arranged as follows: Zn-CaP/Ti > Cu-CaP/TiNb, Zn-CaP/TiNb > Cu-CaP/Ti.

Abstract
Delayed healing and nonunion formation are major challenges in orthopedic surgery, which require the development of novel treatment strategies. Vascularization is considered one of the major prerequisites for successful bone healing, providing an adequate nutrient supply and allowing the infiltration of progenitor cells to the fracture site. Hence, during the last decade, a considerable number of studies have focused on the evaluation of vascularization strategies to prevent or to treat nonunion formation. These involve (1) biophysical applications, (2) systemic pharmacological interventions, and (3) tissue engineering, including sophisticated scaffold materials, local growth factor delivery systems, cell-based techniques, and surgical vascularization approaches. Accumulating evidence indicates that in nonunions, these strategies are indeed capable of improving the process of bone healing. The major challenge for the future will now be the translation of these strategies into clinical practice to make them accessible for the majority of patients. If this succeeds, these vascularization strategies may markedly reduce the incidence of nonunion formation. Impact statement Delayed healing and nonunion formation are a major clinical problem in orthopedic surgery. This review provides an overview of vascularization strategies for the prevention and treatment of nonunions. The successful translation of these strategies in clinical practice is of major importance to achieve adequate bone healing.

Abstract
Bone healing is a dynamic process regulated by biochemical signals such as chemokines and growth factors, and biophysical signals such as topographical and mechanical features of extracellular matrix or mechanical stimuli. Hereby, a mechanically tough and bioactive hydrogel based on autologous injectable platelet-rich fibrin (iPRF) modified with gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) is developed. This composite hydrogel demonstrates a double network (DN) mechanism, wherein covalent network of fibrin serves to maintain material integrity, and self-assembled colloidal network of GNPs dissipates force upon loading. A rabbit sinus augmentation model is used to investigate the bioactivity and osteogenesis capacity of the DN hydrogels. The DN hydrogels adapt to the local environmental complexity of bone defects, i.e., accommodate the irregular shape of the defects and withstand the pressure formed in the maxillary sinus during animal's respiration process. The DN hydrogel is also demonstrated to absorb and prolong the release of the bioactive growth factors stemming from iPRF, which could have contributed to the early angiogenesis and osteogenesis observed inside the sinus. This adaptable and bioactive DN hydrogel can achieve enhanced bone regeneration in treating complex bone defects by maintaining long-term bone mass and withstanding the functional mechanical stimuli.

Abstract
The survival of transplanted cells and tissues in bone regeneration requires a microenvironment with a vibrant vascular network. A tissue engineering chamber can provide this in vivo. However, the commonly used silicone chamber is biologically inert and can cause rejection reactions and fibrous capsule. Studies have revealed that collagen is highly biocompatible and graphene oxide (GO) could regulate osteogenic activity in vivo. Besides, GO can be cross-linked with natural biodegradable polymers to construct scaffolds. Methods: A vascularized GO-collagen chamber model was built by placing vessels traversing through the embedded tissue-engineered grafts (osteogenic-induced bone mesenchymal stem cells -gelatin) in the rat groin area. Osteogenic activity and inflammatory reactions were assessed using different methods including micro-CT scanning, Alizarin red staining, and immunohistochemical staining. Results: After one month, in vivo results showed that bone mineralization and inflammatory responses were significantly pronounced in the silicone model or no chamber (control) groups. Vascular perfusion analysis confirmed that the GO-collagen chamber improved the angiogenic processes. Cells labeled with EdU revealed that the GO-collagen chamber promoted the survival and osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells. Conclusion: Overall, the novel biocompatible GO-collagen chamber exhibited osteoinductive and anti-fibrosis effects which improved bone regeneration in vivo. It can, therefore, be applied to other fields of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has substantial potential for the treatment of massive bone defects; however, efficient vascularization coupled with bone regeneration still remains a challenge in this field. In the current study, supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) foaming technique was adopted to fabricate mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) particle-poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) composite scaffolds with appropriate mechanical and degradation properties as well as in vitro bioactivity. The MBG-PLGA scaffolds incorporating the bioactive lipid FTY720 (designated as FTY/MBG-PLGA) exhibited simultaneously sustained release of the bioactive lipid and ions. In addition to providing a favorable microenvironment for cellular adhesion and proliferation, FTY/MBG-PLGA scaffolds significantly facilitated the in vitro osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs and also markedly stimulated the upregulation of Hif-1α expression via the activation of the Erk1/2 pathway, which mediated the osteogenic and pro-angiogenic effects on rBMSCs. Furthermore, FTY/MBG-PLGA extracts induced superior in vitro angiogenic performance of HUVECs. In vivo evaluation of critical-sized rat calvarial bone defects indicated that FTY/MBG-PLGA scaffolds potently promoted vascularized bone regeneration. Notably, the significantly enhanced formation of type H vessels (CD31hiEmcnhi neo-vessels) was observed in newly formed bone tissue in FTY/MBG-PLGA group, strongly suggesting that FTY720 and therapeutic ions released from the scaffolds synergistically induced more type H vessel formation, which indicated the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis to achieve efficiently vascularized bone regeneration. Overall, the results indicated that the foamed porous MBG-PLGA scaffolds incorporating bioactive lipids achieved desirable vascularization-coupled bone formation and could be a promising strategy for bone regenerative medicine. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Efficacious coupling of vascularizationandbone formation is critical for the restoration of large bone defects. Anoveltechnique was used to fabricate composite scaffolds incorporating bioactive lipids which possessedsynergistic cues of bioactive lipids and therapeutic ions to potently promotebone regenerationas well as vascularization. The underlying molecular mechanism for the osteogenic and pro-angiogenic effects of the compositescaffolds was unveiled. Interestingly, the scaffolds were furtherfoundto enhance the formation oftype H capillarieswithin the bone healing microenvironment to couple angiogenesis to osteogenesis to achieve satisfyingvascularizedbone regeneration.These findings provide a novel strategy to develop efficiently vascularized engineering constructs to treat massive bone defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To summarize the research progress of controlled release of angiogenic factors and osteogenic factors in bone tissue engineering. METHODS The domestic and abroad literature on the controlled release structure of growth factors during bone regeneration in recent years was extensively reviewed and summarized. RESULTS The sustained-release structure includes direct binding, microsphere-three-dimensional scaffold structure, core-shell structure, layer self-assembly, hydrogel, and gene carrier. A sustained-release system composed of different sustained-release structures combined with different growth factors can promote bone regeneration and angiogenesis. CONCLUSION Due to its controllability and persistence, the growth factor sustained-release system has become a research hotspot in bone tissue engineering and has broad application prospects.

Abstract
Here, butylene adipate-co-terephthalate/polypyrrole with nanohydroxyapatite (PBAT/PPy/nHAp) scaffolds were fabricated and characterized. The electrospinning process was carried out using 12 kV, a needle of 23 G, an infusion pump set at 0.3 mL/h, and 10 cm of distance. Afterwards, nHAp was directly electrodeposited onto PBAT/PPy scaffolds using a classical three-electrode apparatus. For in vivo assays (comet assay, acute and chronic micronucleus), 60 male albino Wistar rats with 4 groups were used in each test (n = 5): PBAT/PPy; PBAT/PPy/nHAp; positive control (cyclophosphamide); and the negative control (distilled water). Peripheral blood samples were collected from the animals to perform the comet test after 4 h (for damage) and 24 h (for repair). In the comet test, it was shown that the scaffolds did not induce damage to the % DNA tail and neither for tail length. After the end of 48 h (for acute micronucleus) and 72 h (for chronic micronucleus), bone marrow was collected from each rat to perform the micronucleus test. All of the produced scaffolds did not present genotoxic effects, providing strong evidence for the biological application of PBAT/PPy/nHAp scaffolds.

Abstract
The osteochondral tissue is an interface between two distinct tissues: articular cartilage and bone. These two tissues are significantly diverse with regard to their chemical compositions, mechanical properties, structure, electrical properties, and the amount of nutrient and oxygen consumption. Thus, transition from the surface of the articular cartilage to the subchondral bone needs to face several smooth gradients. These gradients are imperative to study to generate a scaffold suitable for the reconstruction of the cartilaginous and osseous layers of a defected osteochondral tissue, simultaneously. The aim of this review is to peruse the alternation of biochemical, biomechanical, structural, electrical, and metabolic properties of the osteochondral tissue moving from the surface of the articular cartilage to the subchondral bone. Moreover, this review also discusses currently developed approaches and ideal techniques with a focus on gradients present in the interface of the cartilage and bone. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The submitted review paper entitled as "Engineering of the gradient osteochondral tissue: from nature to lab" is a complete review with regard to the osteochondral tissue and transition of different properties between the cartilage and bone tissues. Moreover, previous studies on the osteochondral tissue engineering have been reviewed in this paper. This complete information can be a valuable and useful source for current and future researchers and scientists. Considering the scope of the submitted paper, Acta Biomaterialia would be a suitable journal for publishing this article.

Abstract
Incorporation of growth factors in biomedical constructs can encourage cellular activities necessary for tissue regeneration within an implant system. Three-dimensional printing offers a capacity for spatial dictation and dosage control of incorporated growth factors which promises to minimize complications from the supraphysiologic doses and burst release involved in current growth factor delivery systems. Successful implementation of three-dimensional printing with growth factors requires preservation of the bioactivity of printed growth factors, spatial localization of growth factors within the construct architecture during printing, and controlled release of growth factors after printing. This review describes demonstrated approaches for addressing each of these goals, including direct inclusion of growth factors with the biomaterial during printing, or intermediary encapsulation of growth factors in delivery vehicles such as microparticles or nanoparticles.

Abstract
Cell-based bone regeneration with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) represents the current challenge toward repair of bone defects and fractures. The supposed hurdles for satisfactory performance of cell-based constructs include inadequate vascularization and osteogenic signals. Considering the reported beneficial role of angiogenic cells in promoting vascularization and osteogenic differentiation and the osteogenic potential of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), we here evaluated the efficiency of coculture with angiogenic cells or a physiological dose of BMP-2 on improving osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and bone formation in vivo. In three dimensional (3D) collagen hydrogels in vitro, cocultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a 1:1 ratio or with a physiological dose of BMP-2 (2 ng/μL) promoted the osteogenic potential of MSCs evidenced by enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity and gene expression of osteogenic markers. Notably, HUVECs evoked similar osteogenic stimulation as BMP-2, albeit in a delayed manner. When their bone formation capacity was further evaluated in a mouse subcutaneous implantation model, MSCs with BMP-2 demonstrated the highest efficiency with reproducible bone formation. In contrast, MSCs cocultured with HUVECs constructs displayed substantial blood vessel-like structures with fibrous tissue rather than ectopic bone as MSC monoculture controls. Our findings confirm the priority of generating cell-based bone constructs with physiological BMP-2 administration and indicate the potential of using angiogenic cells to develop vascularized constructs. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has enabled the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds that recapitulate the physical, architectural, and biochemical cues of native tissue matrix more effectively than ever before. One key component of biomimetic scaffold fabrication is the patterning of growth factors, whose spatial distribution and temporal release profile should ideally match that seen in native tissue development. Tissue engineers have made significant progress in improving the degree of spatiotemporal control over which growth factors are presented within 3DP scaffolds. However, significant limitations remain in terms in pattern resolution, the fabrication of true gradients, temporal control of growth factor release, the maintenance of growth factor distributions against diffusion, and more. This review summarizes several key areas for advancement of the field in terms of improving spatiotemporal control over growth factor presentation, and additionally highlights several major tissues of interest that have been targeted by 3DP growth factor patterning strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Combining artificial scaffolds with stimulatory factors to reconstruct lost bone tissues is one of the hottest research directions. The purpose of this review was to conduct a retrospective survey on the latest reports on artificial bone fabrication with functional cytokines. DATA SOURCES The status of related scientific research from the year 2005 to 2018 was analyzed through the mode of literature retrieval in PubMed and VIP Database. The retrieval words are as follows: "bone tissue engineering," "angiogenesis," "cytokines," "osteogenesis," "biomimetic bone marrow," "sol-gel," "delivery system," and the corresponding Chinese words. STUDY SELECTION After reading through the title and abstract for early screening, the full text of relevant studies was evaluated and those not related with this review had been ruled out. RESULTS According to the literature retrospective survey, there were three key points for the successful construction of functional artificial bones: (1) the continuous supply of relatively low concentration of cytokines during the required period; (2) the delivery of two or more cytokines essential to the process and ensure the relatively spatial independence to reduce the unnecessary interference; and (3) supporting the early-stage angiogenesis and late-stage osteogenesis, respectively, regulating and balancing the crosslinking of both to avoid the surface ossification that would probably block the osteogenesis inside. CONCLUSIONS The synergistic effect of both angiogenic factors and osteogenic factors applied in bone regeneration is a key point in the combined functional artificial bone. Through analysis, comparison, and summary of the current strategies, we proposed that the most promising one is to mimic the natural bone marrow function to facilitate the regeneration process and ensure the efficient repair of large weight-bearing bone defect.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a rapidly developing strategy for repairing critical-sized bone defects to address the unmet need for bone augmentation and skeletal repair. Effective therapies for bone regeneration primarily require the coordinated combination of innovative scaffolds, seed cells, and biological factors. However, current techniques in bone tissue engineering have not yet reached valid translation into clinical applications because of several limitations, such as weaker osteogenic differentiation, inadequate vascularization of scaffolds, and inefficient growth factor delivery. Therefore, further standardized protocols and innovative measures are required to overcome these shortcomings and facilitate the clinical application of these techniques to enhance bone regeneration. Given the deficiency of comprehensive studies in the development in BTE, our review systematically introduces the new types of biomimetic and bifunctional scaffolds. We describe the cell sources, biology of seed cells, growth factors, vascular development, and the interactions of relevant molecules. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and perspectives that may propel the direction of future clinical delivery in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Conventional clinical management of complex bone healing scenarios continues to result in 5-10% of fractures forming non-unions. Additionally, the aging population and prevalence of osteoporosis-related fractures necessitate the further exploration of novel ways to augment osteogenesis in this special population. This review focuses on the current clinical modalities available, and the ongoing clinical and pre-clinical research to promote osteogenesis in segmental bone defects, delayed unions, and osteoporosis. In summary, animal models of fracture repair are often small animals as historically significant large animal models, like the dog, continue to gain favor as companion animals. Small rodents have well-documented limitations in comparing to fracture repair in humans, and few similarities exist. Study design, number of studies, and availability of funding continue to limit large animal studies. Osteoinduction with rhBMP-2 results in robust bone formation, although long-term quality is scrutinized due to poor bone mineral quality. PTH 1-34 is the only FDA approved osteo-anabolic treatment to prevent osteoporotic fractures. Limited to 2 years of clinical use, PTH 1-34 has further been plagued by dose-related ambiguities and inconsistent results when applied to pathologic fractures in systematic human clinical studies. There is limited animal data of PTH 1-34 applied locally to bone defects. Gene therapy continues to gain popularity among researchers to augment bone healing. Non-integrating viral vectors and targeted apoptosis of genetically modified therapeutic cells is an ongoing area of research. Finally, progenitor cell therapies and the content variation of patient-side treatments (e.g., PRP and BMAC) are being studied. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Orthopaedic trauma is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although many fractures tend to heal if treated appropriately either by nonoperative or operative methods, delayed or failed healing, as well as infections, can lead to devastating complications. Tissue engineering is an exciting, emerging field with much scientific and clinical relevance in potentially overcoming the current limitations in the treatment of orthopaedic injuries. Recent Findings While direct translation of bone tissue engineering technologies to clinical use remains challenging, considerable research has been done in studying how cells, scaffolds, and signals may be used to enhance acute fracture healing and to address the problematic scenarios of nonunion and critical-sized bone defects. Taken together, the research findings suggest that tissue engineering may be considered to stimulate angiogenesis and osteogenesis, to modulate the immune response to fractures, to improve the biocompatibility of implants, to prevent or combat infection, and to fill large gaps created by traumatic bone loss. The abundance of preclinical data supports the high potential of bone tissue engineering for clinical application, although a number of barriers to translation must first be overcome. Summary This review focuses on the current and potential applications of bone tissue engineering approaches in orthopaedic trauma with specific attention paid to acute fracture healing, nonunion, and critical-sized bone defects.

Abstract
The production of veritable in-vitro models of bone tissue is essential to understand the biology of bone and its surrounding environment, to analyze the pathogenesis of bone diseases (e.g., osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, osteomyelitis, etc.), to develop effective therapeutic drug screening, and to test potential therapeutic strategies. Dysregulated interactions between vasculature and bone cells are often related to the aforementioned pathologies, underscoring the need for a bone model that contains engineered vasculature. Due to ethical restraints and limited prediction power of animal models, human stem cell-based tissue engineering has gained increasing relevance as a candidate approach to overcome the limitations of animals and to serve as preclinical models for drug testing. Since bone is a highly vascularized tissue, the concomitant development of vasculature and mineralized matrix requires a synergistic interaction between osteogenic and endothelial precursors. A number of experimental approaches have been used to achieve this goal, such as the combination of angiogenic factors and three-dimensional scaffolds, prevascularization strategies, and coculture systems. In this review, we present an overview of the current models and approaches to generate in-vitro stem cell-based vascularized bone, with emphasis on the main challenges of vasculature engineering. These challenges are related to the choice of biomaterials, scaffold fabrication techniques, and cells, as well as the type of culturing conditions required, and specifically the application of dynamic culture systems using bioreactors.

Abstract
Growth factors (GFs) are often a key component in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches. In order to fully exploit the therapeutic potential of GFs, GF delivery vehicles have to meet a number of key design criteria such as providing localized delivery and mimicking the dynamic native GF expression levels and patterns. The use of biomaterials as delivery systems is the most successful strategy for controlled delivery and has been translated into different commercially available systems. However, the risk of side effects remains an issue, which is mainly attributed to insufficient control over the release profile. This book chapter reviews the current strategies, chemistries, materials and delivery vehicles employed to overcome the current limitations associated with GF therapies.

The fields of developmental biology and tissue engineering have been revolutionized in recent years by technological advancements, expanded understanding, and biomaterials design, leading to the emerging paradigm of "developmental" or "biomimetic" tissue engineering. While developmental biology and tissue engineering have long overlapping histories, the fields have largely diverged in recent years at the same time that crosstalk opportunities for mutual benefit are more salient than ever. In this perspective article, we will use musculoskeletal development and tissue engineering as a platform on which to discuss these emerging crosstalk opportunities and will present our opinions on the bright future of these overlapping spheres of influence. The multicellular programs that control musculoskeletal development are rapidly becoming clarified, represented by shifting paradigms in our understanding of cellular function, identity, and lineage specification during development. Simultaneously, advancements in bioartificial matrices that replicate the biochemical, microstructural, and mechanical properties of developing tissues present new tools and approaches for recapitulating development in tissue engineering. Here, we introduce concepts and experimental approaches in musculoskeletal developmental biology and biomaterials design and discuss applications in tissue engineering as well as opportunities for tissue engineering approaches to inform our understanding of fundamental biology. © 2017 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
It is a great challenge to prepare “functional artificial bone” for the repair of large segmental defect, especially in weight-bearing bones. In this study, bioactive HA/PCL composite scaffolds that possess anatomical structure as autogenous bone were fabricated by CT-guided fused deposition modeling technique. The scaffolds can provide mechanical support and possess osteoconduction property. Then the VEGF-165/BMP-2 loaded hydrogel was filled into biomimetic artificial bone spatially to introduce osteoinduction and angioinduction ability via sustained release of these cytokines. It has been revealed that the cytokine-loaded hydrogel possessed good biodegradability and could release the VEGF-165/BMP-2 sustainedly and steadily. The synergistic effect of these two cytokines showed significant stimulation on the osteogenic gene expresssion of osteoblast in vitro and ectopic ossification in vivo. The scaffolds were then implanted into the rabbit tibial defect sites (1.2 cm) for bone regeneration for 12 weeks, indicating the best repair of defect in vivo, which was superior to the pure hydrogel/scaffolds or one-cytokine loaded hydrogel/scaffolds and close to autogenous bone graft. The strategy to construct an “anatomy-structure-function” trinity system as functional artificial bone shows great potential in replacing autogenous bone graft and applying in large bone defect repair clinically in future.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering requires the upregulation of several regenerative stages, including a critical early phase of angiogenesis. Previous studies have suggested that a sequential delivery of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) to bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) could promote angiogenic tubule formation when delivered to in vitro cocultures of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). However, it was previously unclear that this PDGF to BMP-2 delivery schedule will result in cell migration into the scaffolding system and affect the later expression of bone markers. Additionally, a controlled delivery system had not yet been engineered for programmed sequential presentation of this particular growth factor. By combining alginate matrices with calcium phosphate scaffolding, a programmed growth factor delivery schedule was achieved. Specifically, a combination of alginate microspheres, alginate hydrogels, and a novel blend of resorbable calcium phosphate-based cement (ReCaPP) was used. PDGF and BMP-2 were sequentially released from this hybrid calcium phosphate/alginate scaffold with the desired 3-day overlap in PDGF to BMP-2 delivery. Using a three-dimensional coculture model, we observed that this sequence of PDGF to BMP-2 delivery influenced both cellular infiltration and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression. It was found that the presence of early PDGF delivery increased the distance of cell infiltration into the calcium phosphate/alginate scaffolding in comparison to early BMP-2 delivery and simultaneous PDGF+BMP-2 delivery. It was also observed that hMSCs expressed a greater amount of ALP+ staining in response to scaffolds delivering the sequential PDGF to BMP-2 schedule, when compared with scaffolds delivering no growth factor, or PDGF alone. Importantly, hMSCs cultured with scaffolds releasing the PDGF to BMP-2 schedule showed similar amounts of ALP staining to hMSCs cultured with BMP-2 alone, suggesting that the sequential schedule of PDGF to BMP-2 presentation promotes differentiation of hMSCs toward an osteoblast phenotype while also increasing cellular infiltration of the scaffold.
