Biocompatible polymers and drug-delivery scaffolds have driven development in bone regeneration. In this study, we fabricated a chitosan (CS)-coated polytrimethylene carbonate (PTMC)/polylactic acid (PLLA)/oleic acid-modified hydroxyapatite (OA-HA)/vancomycin hydrochloride (VH) microsphere scaffold for drug release with excellent biocompatibility. The incorporation of PLLA, OA-HA, and VH into PTMC microspheres not only slowed the biodegradability of the scaffold but also enhanced its mechanical properties and surface properties. Moreover, the CS coating stimulated extensive adhesion of osteoblasts before OA-HA incorporation, which facilitated the controlled release of OA-HA. The scaffolds were characterized via scanning electron microscopy, in vitro comprehensive performance testing, cell culturing, and microcomputer tomography scanning. The results indicated that the surface of the composite microsphere scaffold was suitable for osteoblast adhesion. Additionally, the release of OA-HA stimulated osteogenic proliferation. Our findings suggest that the CS-PTMC/PLLA/OA-HA/VH microsphere scaffold is promising for bone tissue engineering applications.

Large bone defects are still a persistent challenge in orthopedics. The availability limitations and associated complications of autologous and allogeneic bone have prompted an increasing reliance on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we developed an injectable scaffold combining an acellular extracellular periosteal matrix hydrogel with poly(d,l-lactate--glycol-acetate) microspheres loaded with the E7 peptide and miR217 (miR217/E7@MP-GEL).

The resection of bone tumors results in large bone defects with some residual tumor cells, and the treatment of this type of bone defect area often faces a dilemma, namely, the trade-off between bone repair and antitumor after the resection of bone tumors. In order to promote local bone repair, and at the same time inhibit tumor recurrence by continuous and controlled drug administration, we developed a multifunctional NIR-responsive scaffold, whose main components are polylactic acid and MXene, and loaded with PLGA/DOX microspheres, and we hope that the scaffold can take into account both antitumor and bone repair in the bidirectional modulation effect of NIR. The results showed that the scaffold with 1% MXene content had relatively good performance in photothermal therapy (PT) and other aspects, and it could be smoothly increased to 50 °C within 2 min under NIR illumination, and the drug release of microspheres was increased by 10% after illumination compared with that at body temperature.

Traditional tissue engineering strategies focus on geometrically static tissue scaffolds, lacking the dynamic capability found in native tissues. The emerging field of 4D bioprinting offers a promising method to address this challenge. However, the requirement for consistent exogenous supplementation of growth factors (GFs) during tissue maturation poses a significant obstacle for in vivo application of 4D bioprinted constructs.

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.

Bone, cartilage, and soft tissue regeneration is a complex process involving many cellular activities across various cell types. Autografts remain the "gold standard" for the regeneration of these tissues. However, the use of autografts is associated with many disadvantages, including donor scarcity, the requirement of multiple surgeries, and the risk of infection.
