Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting holds promise for precise repair of bone defects, but rapid formation of effective vascularized tissue by 3D-printed construct is still a challenge. In this study, deferoxamine (DFO)-loaded ethosomes (Eth) were combined with gelatin methacrylate (GelMA)/gellan gum methacrylate (GGMA) hybrid bioink to fabricate 3D-printed scaffold by photo- and ion-crosslinking. The GelMA/GGMA bioinks showed excellent printability and improved mechanical property through the double-crosslinking method. In vitro experiments showed that Eth-DFO@GelMA/GGMA scaffold had good cytocompatibility while achieved sustained release of DFO, which significantly promoted endothelial cells migration and tube formation, mineralized matrix deposition and alkaline phosphatase expression of osteoblast. In vivo experiments of rat cranial defect model demonstrated that composite scaffold could promote angiogenesis and bone regeneration by activating the hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (HIF1-α) signaling pathway. In conclusion, this 3D bioprinted Eth-DFO@GelMA/GGMA scaffold can couple angiogenesis and osteogenesis, and will be a promising candidate for the bone defects treatment.

Background: A 73-year-old female with a 3 year history of Alzheimer's disease was treated within the protocol of The Alzheimer's Autism and Cognitive Impairment Stem Cell Treatment Study (ACIST), an IRB approved clinical study registered with clinicaltrials.gov NCT03724136.
Method: The procedure consists of bone marrow aspiration, cell separation using an FDA cleared class 2 device, and intravenous and intranasal administration of the stem cell fraction.

Purpose Of The Study: The preclinical study aimed to compare the healing of segmental bone defects treated with biodegradable hyaluronic acid and tricalcium phosphate-based hydrogel with the established autologous spongioplasty. Another aim was to evaluate the hydrogel as a scaffold for osteoinductive growth factor of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and stem cells.
Material And Methods: The study was conducted in an in vivo animal model.

Background: The 3D printing of macro- and mesoporous biomimetic grafts composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) infused with nanosized synthetic smectic clay is a promising innovation in biomaterials for bone tissue engineering (BTE). The main challenge lies in achieving a uniform distribution of nanoceramics across low to high concentrations within the polymer matrix while preserving mechanical properties and biological performance essential for successful osseointegration.
Methods: This study utilized 3D printing to fabricate PCL scaffolds enriched with nanosized synthetic smectic clay (LAP) to evaluate its effects on structural, chemical, thermal, mechanical, and degradative properties, with a focus on in vitro biological performance and non-toxicity.

Mechanical and thermal cell damage can occur due to invasive procedures related to drilling, the insertion of dental implants, and periodontal treatments. Necrotic cells release the content of their cytoplasm and membrane fragments, thereby signaling the need for repair, which includes bone resorption by osteoclasts and inflammation. Here we screened lysates from human gingival fibroblasts, HSC2 and TR146 oral squamous carcinoma cell lines, as well as murine IDG-SW3 osteocytic and RAW264.

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).
