The ideal scaffold material of angiogenesis should have mechanical strength and provide appropriate physiological microporous structures to mimic the extracellular matrix environment. In this study, we constructed an integrated three-dimensional scaffold material using porous tantalum (pTa), gelatin nanoparticles (GNPs) hydrogel, and seeded with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived endothelial cells (ECs) for vascular tissue engineering. The characteristics and biocompatibility of pTa and GNPs hydrogel were evaluated by mechanical testing, scanning electron microscopy, cell counting kit, and live-cell assay. The BMSCs-derived ECs were identified by flow cytometry and angiogenesis assay. BMSCs-derived ECs were seeded on the pTa-GNPs hydrogel scaffold and implanted subcutaneously in nude mice. Four weeks after the operation, the scaffold material was evaluated by histomorphology. The superior biocompatible ability of pTa-GNPs hydrogel scaffold was observed. Our results suggested that 28 days after implantation, the formation of the stable capillary-like network in scaffold material could be promoted significantly. The novel, integrated pTa-GNPs hydrogel scaffold is biocompatible with the host, and exhibits biomechanical and angiogenic properties. Moreover, combined with BMSCs-derived ECs, it could construct vascular engineered tissue . This study may provide a basis for applying pTa in bone regeneration and autologous BMSCs in tissue-engineered vascular grafts.

Currently, vascular grafting is the preferred option to replace or bypass the defective vascular segments, but finding materials with good biocompatibility and diversity alternative for practical clinical applications are still the challenge. The construction of tissue engineered blood vessels (TEBVs) with complex structures will be realized using 3D bioprinting technology, which provides a new idea for vascular transplantation. In this paper, the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)/nano clay (NC)/sodium alginate (SA) hybrid bioink was prepared to construct tubular scaffolds in vitro by coaxial 3D bioprinting.

The occurrence of oral bone tissue degeneration and bone defects by osteoporosis, tooth extraction, obesity, trauma, periodontitis, and congenital defects are major challenges for clinicians. Traditional bone regeneration methods, although exhibiting efficacy to a certain degree, often come with limitations such as donor site morbidity, limitation of special shape, inflammation, and resorption of the implanted bone. The treatment oriented with biomimetic bone materials has achieved significant attention recently.

Inorganic/inorganic composites are found in multiple applications crucial for the energy transition, from nuclear reactors to energy storage devices. Their microstructures dictate their properties from mass transport to fracture resistance. Consequently, there has been a multitude of processes developed to control them, from powder mixing and the use of short or long fibers, to tape casting for laminates up to recent 3D printing.

Bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) were developed as an innovative solution to overcome the limitations of metallic stents. While polymeric BRS initially demonstrated comparable clinical outcomes to drug-eluting stent (DES) in clinical trials, subsequent large-scale studies revealed that patients implanted with polymeric BRS experienced higher rates of scaffold thrombosis (ScT) and target lesion failure compared to those with metallic stents. Resorbable magnesium scaffolds (RMS) have emerged as a promising alternative owing to magnesium's natural degradability and favorable mechanical properties.
