Published: March 2021

Our understanding of the mechanisms underlying fracture healing is rapidly developing and is contributing to new therapeutic strategies to enhance repair. To gain new insights, animal models must also evolve. From initially imprecise, uncontrolled bone defects we now have precise injury models that still capture all of the stages and phases of bone repair yet do so in a highly reproducible manner. The simple mono-cortical defect model allows assessment of bone repair through a cartilage intermediate, e.g., endochondral ossification, as well as direct bone repair, e.g., intramembranous healing. Cellular contributions of the periosteum can be distinguished from contributions originating in the bone marrow. In this chapter, we focus on the advantages of this bone repair model, as well as its limitations.

Background: Many prognostic factors associated with healing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair have been evaluated. It has been shown from previous literature that osteoporosis is an independent risk factor for poor healing and increased need for revision surgery. To our knowledge, there has not been a study reporting patient reported outcomes (PROs) for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in patients with osteoporosis.

Hydrogel, as the most suitable bio-scaffold material for simulating extracellular matrix, can be used to study the influence of material mechanical properties on cell behavior under 3D conditions. Mechanical stimulation plays an important role in cartilage differentiation, especially for the mechanosensitive cell-bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Currently, TRPV4 and Cav1.

Periodontitis is one of the major oral health issues worldwide, with significant impacts on oral health and patients's quality of life, but current therapies have not achieved optimal regeneration of periodontal tissue. This study developed scaffolds using natural tussah silk fibroin (TSF) cross-linked with regenerated silk fibroin (SF) nanofibers to improve mechanical properties and wet-state stability. Zinc oxide (ZnO) and polydopamine (PDA) composite nanoparticles were loaded into scaffold to impart its antibacterial and photothermal properties to construct a photo-responsive composite scaffold (ZnO/PDA/TSF-SF).

Vascularized bone tissue engineering for osteogenesis is considered a key approach for the repair of critical bone defects. Icariin(ICA) has been employed in bone tissue engineering for osteogenesis in several studies, demonstrating significant angiogenic and osteogenic effects in vivo in rat models. However, the in vivo angiogenic and osteogenic effects of Icariside II (ICSII), a gastrointestinal metabolite of ICA, remain unclear.

Macrophages are important mediators of immune responses with critical roles in the recognition and clearance of pathogens, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound healing. The neuronal guidance cue SLIT2 has been widely studied for its effects on immune cell functions, most notably directional cell migration. Recently, SLIT2 has been shown to directly enhance bacterial killing by macrophages, but the effects of SLIT2 on inflammatory activation of macrophages are less known.
