BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effects of three-dimensional (3D) printed titanium (3DTi) scaffolds on osteogenic differentiation and new bone formation by 3D cultured adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro, and the effects of bone regeneration in vivo using a full-thickness mandibular defect rat model, and the mechanisms involved. MATERIAL AND METHODS Alpha-beta titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) 3DTi scaffolds were prepared with Cellmatrix hydrogel and 3D culture medium. ADSCs were impregnated into the 3DTi scaffolds. ADSC viability and proliferation were assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were measured. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot were performed to assess the expression of osteogenesis-related mRNA for RUNX2, OPN, OCN, and IGF-1 genes and proteins. A rat model of full-thickness mandibular defect was evaluated with micro-computed tomography (microCT) scanning, and histochemistry with Alizarin red and von Giesen's stain were used to evaluate osteogenesis. RESULTS ADSC viability and proliferation were not affected by culture with 3DTi scaffolds. Expression of osteogenesis-related mRNA and proteins for RUNX2, OPN, OCN, and IGF-1, expression of ALP, and histochemical findings showed that the use of 3DTi scaffolds enhanced osteogenic differentiation and new bone formation by ADSCs, with upregulation of components of the IGF-1R/AKT/mTORC1 pathway. CONCLUSIONS The 3D culture of ADSCs with 3DTi scaffolds enhanced osteogenic differentiation and new bone formation through the IGF-1R/AKT/mTORC1 pathway. This improved method of osteointegration may have clinical application in the preparation of bone grafts before implantation for improved repair of mandibular bone defects.

Bone tissue engineering offers a promising alternative to stimulate the regeneration of damaged tissue, overcoming the limitations of conventional autografts and allografts. Recently, titanium alloy (Ti) implants have garnered significant attention for treating critical-sized bone defects, especially with the advancement of 3D printing technology. Although Ti alloys have impressive versatility, their lack of cellular adhesion, osteogenic and antibacterial properties are significant factors that contribute to their failure.

Objectives: The micro-nano structure of 3D-printed porous titanium (Ti) alloy with excellent performance in avoiding stress shielding and promoting bone tissue differentiation provides a new opportunity for the development of bone implants, but it necessitates higher requirements for bone tissue differentiation and the antibacterial properties of bone implants in clinical practice.
Methods: This study investigated the preparation, antimicrobial properties, and osteogenesis-promoting ability of the 3D printed porous Ti alloy anodic oxidized Ag-carrying (Ag@3D-TiO) scaffolds. The 3D printed porous Ti alloy (3D-Ti), anodized 3D printed porous Ti alloy (3D-TiO), and Ag@3D-TiO scaffolds were synthesized using electron beam melting.

Article Synopsis
- - Postoperative treatment for osteosarcoma faces challenges in both anatomical reconstruction and preventing tumor recurrence, which can potentially be addressed with a 3D-printed porous Ti6Al4V scaffold (3DTi) that offers superior mechanical properties over traditional implants.
- - Simvastatin, a drug with both anti-tumor and bone-forming capabilities, when loaded into a thermosensitive hydrogel and combined with a 3DTi scaffold (called Sim-3DTi), showed improved osteogenesis and significantly reduced tumor volume in testing models.
- - The Sim-3DTi not only enhanced bone growth and integration but also worked by inducing ferroptosis in osteosarcoma cells, suggesting it could be a promising

Human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an alternative source of mesenchymal stem cells used for bone regeneration. However, the current osteogenically induced methods for iPSCs are slow and complex. We have used retinoic acid (RA) to induce osteogenic iPSCs within 10 days and assess whether a rapid differentiation could improve the osteogenic potential of the three-dimensionally printed Ti6Al4V (3DTi) scaffolds.
