Article Abstract
The literature is lacking conclusive results regarding the exact mechanism of maximizing the fracture healing stages with minimal traumatic side effects. This observation mandates the development of a novel surgical procedure using small animals as a model to study fracture healing in the presence of osteoinductive agents. Previously, stabilization of osteotomies in small animal models has mainly been accomplished using Kirschner wires, but the rat's tremendous ability to heal an osteotomy stabilized by this method has masked the effects of osteoinductive agents. Thus, this study proposes using a modified 20-hole, 1.5-mm stainless-steel plate to stabilize a 5-mm segmental defect. Thirty of 32 adult male rats were fully weight-bearing within 2 days and were followed over a 15-week period. Two animals showed evidence of fixation failure due to technical error, and the animals were humanely sacrificed. At the end of the study, the fractures were stable with significantly less bone formation evident when compared to controls (p < .001). Therefore, this technique can effectively be used to evaluate compounds that will enhance bone formation and allows for stable fixation of the control with minimal callus formation or bony ingrowth. The goal of this article is to allow other investigators to reproduce this technique as well as outline the advantages and disadvantages of this novel plating technique versus the former Kirschner wire technique for the study of osteoinductive agents using small animals as a model.

Introduction: FTY720 bioactive lipid has proliferative, osteoinductive, chemo attractive, and angiogenic properties, being thus a potential exogenous administered agent for promotion of bone regeneration. Herein we developed FTY720-loaded liposomes as a potential delivery system that could retain and prolong the bioactivity of the bioactive lipid and at the same time reduce its cytotoxicity (at high doses).
Methods: FTY720 liposomes were prepared by thin-lipid hydration and microfluidic flow focusing, and evaluated for their ability to induce proliferation, osteoinduction, and chemoattraction in three cell types: MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells, L929 fibroblast cells, and ATDC5 chondrogenic cells.

Nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) is distinguished by its exceptional biocompatibility, bioactivity and biodegradability, qualities attributed to its similarity to the mineral component of human bone. This review discusses the synthesis techniques of nHA, highlighting how these methods shape its physicochemical attributes and, in turn, its utility in biomedical applications. The versatility of nHA is further enhanced by doping with biologically significant ions like magnesium or zinc, which can improve its bioactivity and confer therapeutic properties.

Alkaptonuria (AKU) is a genetically determined disease associated with disorders of tyrosine metabolism. In AKU, the deposition of homogentisic acid polymers contributes to the pathological ossification of cartilage tissue. The controlled use of biomimetics similar to deposits observed in cartilage during AKU potentially may serve the development of new bone regeneration therapy based on the activation of osteoblasts.

Bacterial infection and inadequate osseointegration represent significant challenges in the application of titanium (Ti)-based bone implants. Surface modification presents a promising strategy to address these obstacles. Taking advantage of silver ions, black phosphorus nanosheets (BPNs) and polydopamine (PDA), this study developed a versatile platform on the surface of Ti-12Mo-10Zr (TMZ) alloy through a multiple surface modification process, including the anodic oxidation treatment of TMZ alloy, the preparation and addition of silver-loaded BPNs (BPNs/Ag), and the coating with PDA.

Cranial defect repair remains a significant challenge in neurosurgery, and designing material complexes that can support bone regeneration while minimizing complications such as infection and inflammation could help alleviate this clinical challenge. This study presents a photothermal hydrogel complex with a controlled rapid gelation process, PDA-G-A-H, which integrates photothermal polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) with gentamycin (G) and alendronate acid (A). Furthermore, the incorporation of the injectable hydrogel Pluronic F127 and collagen (H) made this composite hydrogel (PDA-G-A-H) suitable for the multifaceted needs of cranial defects.
