3D cryo-printed hierarchical porous scaffolds provide immobilization of surface-functionalized sleep-inspired small extracellular vesicles: synergistic therapeutic strategies for vascularized bone regeneration based on macrophage phenotype modulation and angiogenesis-osteogenesis coupling.

Bone defect healing is a multi-factorial process involving the inflammatory microenvironment, bone regeneration and the formation of blood vessels, and remains a great challenge in clinical practice. Combined use of three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds and bioactive factors is an emerging strategy for the treatment of bone defects. Scaffolds can be printed using 3D cryogenic printing technology to create a microarchitecture similar to trabecular bone.

Bilayer Scaffolds Synergize Immunomodulation and Rejuvenation via Layer-Specific Release of CK2.1 and the "Exercise Hormone" Lac-Phe for Enhanced Osteochondral Regeneration.

Repairing osteochondral defects necessitates the intricate reestablishment of the microenvironment. The cartilage layer consists of a porous gelatin methacryloyl hydrogel (PGelMA) covalently crosslinked with the chondroinductive peptide CK2.1 via a "linker" acrylate-PEG-N-hydroxysuccinimide (AC-PEG-NHS).

[In vitro biological evaluation of PEGylated poly(glycerol sebacate)/β-TCP-coating modified magnesium alloy].

Purpose: To prepare PEGS/β-TCP modified magnesium alloy (PEGS/β-TCP/MZG) membranes by forming a glycolated poly(sebacate)/β-tricalcium phosphate (PEGS/β-TCP) coating on the surface of magnesium-zinc-gadolinium alloy (MZG) membranes, and to evaluate the osteogenic induction activity and immunomodulatory properties of PEGS/β-TCP/MZG using the material extract medium.

Methods: PEGS/β-TCP coating was prepared on the surface of MZG by solvent method, and the PEGS/β-TCP/MZG membrane was fabricated and compared with PEGS/β-TCP and MZG to examine the morphology, composition, and hydrophilicity. The amount of magnesium ions released and the pH value of the materials were tested after 3 days of immersion.

Double-network hydrogel enhanced by SS31-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles: Symphonic collaboration of near-infrared photothermal antibacterial effect and mitochondrial maintenance for full-thickness wound healing in diabetes mellitus.

Diabetic wound healing has become a serious healthcare challenge. The high-glucose environment leads to persistent bacterial infection and mitochondrial dysfunction, resulting in chronic inflammation, abnormal vascular function, and tissue necrosis. To solve these issues, we developed a double-network hydrogel, constructed with pluronic F127 diacrylate (F127DA) and hyaluronic acid methacrylate (HAMA), and enhanced by SS31-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles (MPDA NPs).
