A titanium implant surface when coated with biodegradable, highly porous, osteogenic nanofibrous coating has shown enhanced intrinsic osteoinductive and osteoconductive properties. This coating mimics extracellular matrix resulting in differentiation of stem cells present in the peri-implant niche to osteoblast and hence results in enhanced osseointegration of the implant. The osteogenic nanofibrous coating (ONFC) consists of poly-caprolactone, gelatin, nano-sized hydroxyapatite, dexamethasone, ascorbic acid and beta-glycerophosphate. ONFC exhibits optimum mechanical properties to support mesenchymal stem cells and steer their osteogenic differentiation. ONFC was subjected to various characterization tests like scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffractometry, thermal degradation, biomineralization, mechanical properties, wettability and proliferation assay. In pre-clinical animal trials, the coated implant showed enhanced new bone formation when placed in the tibia of rabbit. This novel approach toward implant bone integration holds significant promise for its easy and economical coating thus marking the beginning of new era of electrospun osteogenic nanofibrous coated bone implants.

Inspired by the initial mineralization process with bone matrix vesicles (MVs), this study innovatively developed a delivery system to mediate mineralization during bone regeneration. The system comprises nanofibrous chitosan microspheres (NCM) and poly (allylamine hydrochloride)-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PAH-ACP), which is thereafter referred to as NCMP. NCM is synthesized through the thermal induction of chitosan molecular chains, serving as the carrier, while PAH-ACP functions as the mineralization precursor.

3D printing, as a layer-by-layer manufacturing technique, enables the customization of tissue engineering scaffolds. Surface modification of biomaterials is a beneficial approach to enhance the interaction with living cells and tissues. In this research, a polylactic acid/polyethylene glycol scaffold containing 30 % bredigite nanoparticles (PLA/PEG/B) was fabricated utilizing fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing.

During transsphenoidal surgery to remove pituitary adenomas, the structures of the skull base consisting of the dura mater and skull base bones are destroyed, making it crucial to restore the natural structure of the skull base. We crafted a dual-layer Janus fiber membrane utilizing the layer-by-layer electrospinning technique, comprising an osteoblast layer and a leak-proof antimicrobial layer. Specifically, RPG-1%PCPP radially aligned nanofibrous membranes (osteoblasts) can promote directional cell migration and facilitate cellular osteogenic differentiation.

Periodontal tissue defects are a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) has emerged as an effective clinical approach for promoting periodontal regeneration. In this study, we employed a green electrospinning technology to combine recombinant human-like collagen (RHC) with polycaprolactone (PCL) to fabricate RHC/PCL membranes for periodontal regeneration.
