Objective: To histomorphometrically analyze the effect of ovariectomy-induced oestrogen deficiency and 17β-estradiol therapy on bone healing of surgically created critical-size defects (CSDs) treated with bovine bone graft (BBG).
Methods: Forty-eight female rats were randomly assigned to the following 3 experimental groups (n=16): sham-operated animals (SHAM), ovariectomized animals (OVX) and ovariectomized animals treated with oestrogen (OVX+E2). OVX+E2 animals received daily subcutaneous injections of 17β-estradiol (20μg/kg) from 8 days after ovariectomy until euthanasia. Thirty days after the surgery, an 8mm CSD was surgically created in each calvaria of all animals and filled with BBG. Animals were euthanized at either 30 or 60 days postoperative. A histological analysis, percentage of Newly Formed Bone Area (NFBA), osteoblast and osteoclast number was histomorphometrically performed (p≤0.05).
Results: At 30 days, SHAM group (8.82%±2.93) had significantly greater NFBA than OVX (4.66%±1.35) and OVX+E2 groups (5.85%±4.08) (p≤0.05). At 60 days, SHAM group (11.51%±3.08) and OVX+E2 group (9.84%±1.87) had significantly greater NFBA than OVX animals (5.12%±0.68) (p≤0.05). Fewer osteoblasts were observed in the OVX group at 30 (763.40±121.60) and 60 (696.60±80.92) days than in the SHAM group at 30 days (1356.00±95.38). Fewer osteoclasts were observed in the OVX+E2 group (3.25±2.16) than in the SHAM (9.75±1.82) and OVX (12.75±1.47) groups at 30 days (p≤0.05).
Conclusions: Oestrogen deficiency compromises bone healing in calvarial CSDs treated with BBG in ovariectomized rats. After 60 days post-surgery, 17β-estradiol therapy improved bone healing in calvarial CSDs treated with BBG in ovariectomized rats.

Although 3D printing is becoming a dominant technique for scaffold preparation in bone tissue engineering (TE), developing hydrogel-based ink compositions with bioactive and self-healing properties remains a challenge. This research focuses on developing a bone scaffold based on a composite hydrogel, which maintains its self-healing properties after incorporating bioactive glass and is 3D-printable. The plain hydrogel ink was synthesized using natural polymers of 1 wt % N-carboxyethyl chitosan, 2 wt % hyaluronic acid aldehyde, 0.

Interface friction impedes tissue healing and stimulates interface cells to produce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs); however, the precise mechanisms underlying matrix degradation, and the formation of fibrous scars remain unclear. This research involved the development of interface lubricating microspheres that inhibit the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in tenocytes. This inhibition significantly decreased MMP-13 expression and increased COL-1 production, thereby facilitating interface repair and regeneration.

The increasing number of elderly people across the globe has led to a rise in osteoporosis and bone fractures, significantly impacting the quality of life and posing substantial health and economic burdens. Despite the development of tissue-engineered bone constructs and stem cell-based therapies to address these challenges, their efficacy is compromised by inadequate vascularization and innervation during bone repair. Innervation plays a pivotal role in tissue regeneration, including bone repair, and various techniques have been developed to fabricate innervated bone scaffolds for clinical use.
