Using microspherical scaffolds as building blocks to repair bone defects of specific size and shape has been proposed as a tissue engineering strategy. Here, phosphate glass (PG) microcarriers doped with 5 mol % TiO and either 0 mol % CoO (CoO 0%) or 2 mol % CoO (CoO 2%) were investigated for their ability to support osteogenic and vascular responses of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Together with standard culture techniques, cell-material interactions were studied using a novel perfusion microfluidic bioreactor that enabled cell culture on microspheres, along with automated processing and screening of culture variables. While titanium doping was found to support hMSCs expansion and differentiation, as well as endothelial cell-derived vessel formation, additional doping with cobalt did not improve the functionality of the microspheres. Furthermore, the microfluidic bioreactor enabled screening of culture parameters for cell culture on microspheres that could be potentially translated to a scaled-up system for tissue-engineered bone manufacturing.

Enhanced Bone Regeneration by Schwann Cells through Coupling of Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis via β-catenin signaling in a Preclinical Model of Distraction Osteogenesis.
Int J Med Sci

Article Synopsis
- The prolonged use of external fixation during distraction osteogenesis (DO) can heighten complications, while bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) play a crucial role in bone regeneration due to their pro-angiogenic and osteogenic abilities.
- RSC-96, a type of Schwann cell, has been shown to promote the proliferation, migration, and differentiation of BMSCs when co-cultured, enhancing both bone formation and blood vessel development through neurotrophic factor secretion and activation of specific signaling pathways.
- In a rat DO model, RSC-96's conditioned medium improved bone healing outcomes, with notable increases in gene expression markers for osteogenesis and angiogenesis, alongside positive radiological and biomechanical assessments.
Pedicle ossification following mandibular reconstruction using fibular free flap in a patient with osteoradionecrosis of the jaw: a case report.

Article Synopsis
- Pedicle ossification is a rare complication that can occur after using a fibular free flap (FFF) for mandibular reconstruction, potentially simulating tumor recurrence and leading to diagnostic challenges.
- A case study of a 38-year-old male with squamous cell carcinoma highlighted how postoperative complications led to the need for FFF reconstruction, and over 4 years, CT scans showed ossification in the flap's vascular pedicle, yet the patient remained asymptomatic.
- Regular imaging and clinical assessments are key to distinguishing ossification from tumor recurrence, with surgery usually only considered if symptoms arise.

The advancement in the arena of bone tissue engineering persuades us to develop novel nanocomposite scaffolds in order to improve antibacterial, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties that show resemblance to natural bone extracellular matrix. Here, we focused on the development of novel zinc-doped hydroxyapatite (ZnHAP) nanoparticles (1, 2 and 3 wt%; size: 50-60 nm) incorporated chitosan-gelatin nanocomposite scaffold, with an interconnected porous structure. The addition of ZnHAP nanoparticles decreases the pore size (~30 µm) of the chitosan gelatin scaffold.

Angiogenesis is imperative for bone regeneration, yet the conventional cytokine therapies have been constrained by prohibitive costs and safety apprehensions. It is urgent to develop a safer and more efficient therapeutic alternative. Herein, utilizing the methodologies of Deep Learning (DL) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), we proposed a paradigm algorithm that amalgamates with a variant, , to deftly discern potential pro-angiogenic peptides from intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of 262 related proteins, where are fertile grounds for developing safer and highly promising bioactive peptides.

Bone regeneration is a multifaceted process involving the well-coordinated interaction of cellular functions such as the regulation of inflammation, the formation of new blood vessels, and the development of bone tissue. Bone regeneration is a multifaceted process involving the well-coordinated interplay of multiple cellular activities, such as inflammation control, blood vessel and bone tissue. Zhang developed a multifunctional hydrogel system embedded with bone marrow stromal cell-derived exosomes to address the challenges of large bone defects.
