Collagen (COL) and bacterial cellulose (BC) were chemically recombined by Malaprade and Schiff-base reactions. A three-dimensional (3D) porous microsphere of COL/BC/Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) with multistage structure and components were prepared by the template method combined with reverse-phase suspension regeneration. The microspheres were full of pores and had a rough surface. The particle size ranged from 8 to 12 microns, the specific surface area (S) was 123.4 m/g, the pore volume (V) was 0.59 cm/g, and the average pore diameter (D) was 198.5 nm. The adsorption isotherm of the microspheres on the N molecule belongs to that of mesoporous materials. The microspheres showed good biocompatibility, and the 3D porous microspheres with multiple structures and components effectively promoted the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of mice MC3T3-E1 cells. The study can provide a theoretical basis for the application of COL/BC porous microspheres in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Article Synopsis
- Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) transforms waste biomass, particularly high nitrogen feedstocks like kitchen garbage and blue-green algae, into valuable resources, but the characteristics of small hydrochar particles remain underexplored.
- Hydrochar particles show unique properties such as poor porosity, moderate pH, negative charge, and high hydrophobicity, which differ from the original hydrochar and secondary char derived from simpler biomasses.
- The study identifies complex formation mechanisms through various chemical reactions in the hydrochar microparticles, highlighting their potential as soil fertilizers and decontaminants while emphasizing that effectiveness is influenced by HTC temperature and type of biomass used.

Purpose: Successful regeneration of cranial defects necessitates the use of porous bone fillers to facilitate cell proliferation and nutrient diffusion. Open porous microspheres, characterized by their high specific surface area and osteo-inductive properties, offer an optimal microenvironment for cell ingrowth and efficient ossification, potentially accelerating bone regeneration.
Materials And Methods: An in vitro investigation was conducted to assess the physicochemical properties, porosity, and biocompatibility of PHA-nano-clay open porous microspheres.

Traditional homogeneous Fenton systems face limitations, including a narrow pH range, potential secondary pollution, and poor repeatability. In this study, these bottlenecks in tetracycline wastewater treatment were addressed with using carbonized porous polyethyleneimine-grafted lignin microspheres (PLMs) supported Fe-loading catalysts (PLMs/Fe-C). An optimized PLMs/Fe-C catalyst under specific conditions (carbonization temperature: 350 °C, PLMs: Fe = 1:1, and alkali lignin: PEI = 1:4) was developed, which proved to be an efficient Fenton-like catalyst for tetracycline (TC) degradation.
