Summary: Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is crucial for bone defect repair. Loading bioactive factors into scaffolds allows for controlled release, with scaffold microstructure playing a significant role. This review examines how scaffold microstructure affects the release rate of bioactive factors, with variables including pore size, shape, and porosity. The study concludes that pore size and porosity impact the release rate, providing valuable insights for developing new treatment strategies for bone disease.

Summary: This study used bioactive glass to improve the bone repair scaffold material made of polycaprolactone (PCL) and found that increasing the content of bioactive glass can enhance the hydrophilicity of the scaffold, improve cell adhesion and proliferation, and promote bone repair. The results of the study suggest that PCL scaffolds containing 20% bioactive glass have great potential for clinical bone repair.

Summary: In this study, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) were successfully integrated into bioactive glass (BG) to fabricate three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds, which exhibited sequential therapeutic effects against inflammation and promotion of osteogenesis in bone defects. The antioxidative activity of CeO2 NPs played a crucial role in relieving oxidative stress and promoting bone formation. Furthermore, CeO2 NPs promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat osteoblasts, leading to enhanced mineral deposition and osteogenic gene expression. The incorporation of CeO2 NPs provided the BG scaffolds with reinforced mechanical properties, improved biocompatibility, cell adhesion, elevated osteogenic capability, and multifunctional performance. In vivo studies confirmed the superior osteogenic properties of CeO2-BG scaffolds compared to pure BG scaffolds in the treatment of rat tibial defects. The 3D printing technique also created a suitable porous microenvironment for cell ingrowth and new bone formation around the bone defect. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of CeO2-BG 3D-printed scaffolds for sequential and integral treatment in bone tissue engineering.

Summary: This study prepared composite biomaterials of PHEMA/titanium-doped BGT for bone regeneration using the IW concept. The distribution and stability of the composites were confirmed, and the titanium doping improved the biomineralization properties. The IW level ranged from 10.4 wt% to 25.6 wt% with increasing titanium concentration. Cell viability tests showed that the growth rate increased with increasing titanium concentration, and an appropriate titanium concentration for cell adhesion was estimated to be 5%. Hydrated PHEMA gels with 5% BGT exhibited a high IW level of 19.3% and less hydrophilic wettability.

Summary: In this study, a series of hyaluronic acid composite hydrogels containing Cu-doped bioactive glass (CuBG) and phosphoserine (PS) were designed and prepared. The CuBG/PS hydrogels exhibited suitable rheological properties, bone tissue integrating ability, and anti-bacterial property. CuBG and PS had a synergistic effect on improving osteogenic efficiency, particularly at a low ratio of CuBG to PS (9CB/3PS).

Summary: We developed a ZnO-assisted 1393 bioactive glass-based scaffold with suitable mechanical properties for bone tissue engineering. In vivo studies in an animal model showed that the scaffold had the ability to facilitate cellular infiltration and integration. Comparative analysis demonstrated that the ZnO-assisted scaffolds performed better than the pure bioactive glass in terms of biological compatibility and osteogenic differentiation.

Summary: The rising incidence of bone disorders has created a demand for minimally invasive therapies. Injectable bioactive fillers can be used to fill irregular cavities in non-load bearing sites, and thermosensitive chitosan hydrogels provide an interesting option as in-situ injectable biomaterials. However, they lack osteoconductivity.
