Towards modular bone tissue engineering using Ti-Co-doped phosphate glass microspheres: cytocompatibility and dynamic culture studies.

TL;DR: Ti–Co phosphate glasses were found to support osteoblastic cell growth and aggregate formation that is a necessary precursor to tissue formation and the upregaulation of VEGF production can potentially support vascularization.

Hierarchical porosity inherited by natural sources affects the mechanical and biological behaviour of bone scaffolds

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D porous apatite scaffold (B-HA), recently obtained through biomorphic transformation of a natural wood, is investigated on its multi-scale porous structure determining superior biological and mechanical behaviour.

Copper peptide-incorporated 3D-printed silk-based scaffolds promote vascularized bone regeneration

TL;DR: 3D-printed silk-based scaffolds with sustained release of copper peptide, a copper ion-specific binding tripeptide, were fabricated and exhibited similar therapeutic effects to free copper ions, with lower toxicity.

Enhancing Bioactivity of Hydroxyapatite Scaffolds Using Fibrous Type I Collagen.

Abstract: In the field of bone tissue regeneration, the development of osteoconductive and osteoinductive scaffolds is an open challenge The purpose of this work was the design and characterization of composite structures made of hydroxyapatite scaffold impregnated with a collagen slurry in order to mimic the bone tissue structure The effect of magnesium and silicon ions enhancing both mechanical and biological properties of partially substituted hydroxyapatite were evaluated and compared with that of pure hydroxyapatite The use of an innovative freeze-drying approach was developed, in which composite scaffolds were immersed in cold water, frozen and then lyophilized, thereby creating an open-pore structure, an essential feature for tissue regeneration The mechanical stability of bone scaffolds is very important in the first weeks of slow bone regeneration process Therefore, the biodegradation behavior of 3D scaffolds was evaluated by incubating them for different periods of time in Tris-HCl buffer The microstructure observation, the weight loss measurements and mechanical stability up to 28 days of incubation (particularly for HA-Mg_Coll scaffolds), revealed moderate weight loss and mechanical performances reduction due to collagen dissolution At the same time, the presence of collagen helps to protect the ceramic structure until it degrades These results, combined with MTT tests, confirm that HA-Mg_Coll scaffolds may be the suitable candidate for bone remodeling

Improved osseointegration of strontium-modified titanium implants by regulating angiogenesis and macrophage polarization.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the angiogenic capacity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells on the Sr-incorporated micro/nano titanium (SLA-Sr) surface was also significantly improved through the up-regulated expression of the HIF-1α protein and Erk1/2 phosphorylation.

Ionic products of bioactive glass dissolution increase proliferation of human osteoblasts and induce insulin-like growth factor II mRNA expression and protein synthesis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the stimulatory effect of the ionic products of Bioglass 45S5 dissolution on osteoblast proliferation may be mediated by IGF-II.
