Calcium, magnesium and phosphate are predominant constituents in the human bone. In this study, magnesium-calcium phosphate composite bioceramic scaffolds were fabricated utilizing Mg(PO) and β-Ca(PO) as starting materials, and their pore structure was constructed by 3D printing. The porosity and compressive strength of the composite bioceramic scaffolds could be adjusted by altering the sintering temperature and the formula of starting materials. The composite bioceramic scaffolds prepared from 60 wt% Mg(PO) and 40 wt% β-Ca(PO) were dominated by the CaMg(PO) phase, and this CaMg(PO)-based bioceramic scaffolds possessed the highest compressive strength (12.7 - 92.4 MPa). Moreover, the CaMg(PO)-based bioceramic scaffolds stimulated cellular growth and osteoblastic differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells. The CaMg(PO)-based bioceramic scaffolds as bone regenerative biomaterials are flexible to the requirement of bone defects at various sites.

The overexpression of glutathione (GSH) within the tumor microenvironment has long been considered as the major obstacle for reactive oxygen species (ROS)-based antitumor therapies. To address this challenge, a selenite (SeO) and ferric ion co-doped hydroxyapatite (SF-HAP) nanohybrid was synthesized, which is then introduced into poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to prepare porous scaffold by selective laser sintering to continuously release Fe and SeO ions. Of great significance is the released SeO catabolize GSH to generate superoxide anion (O) rather than directly eliminating GSH, thereby reversing the obstacle posed by its overexpression and achieving a "waste-to-treasure" transformation.

Treatment of complex craniofacial deformities is still a challenge for medicine and dentistry because few approach therapies are available on the market that allow rehabilitation using 3D-printed medical devices. Thus, this study aims to create a scaffold with a morphology that simulates bone tissue, able to create a favorable environment for the development and differentiation of osteogenic cells. Moreover, its association with Plenum Guide, through cell-based tissue engineering (ASCs) for guided bone regeneration in critical rat calvarial defects.

Ultraviolet-assisted Direct Ink Writing(UV-DIW), an extrusion-based additive manufacturing technology, has emerged as a prominent 3D printing technique and is currently an important topic in bone tissue engineering research. This study focused on the printability of double-network (DN) bioink (Nano-hydroxyapatite/Polyethylene glycol diacrylate(nHA/PEGDA)). Next, we search for the optimal UV-DIW printing parameters for the scaffold formed by nHA-PEGDA.

The challenge of bone tissue regeneration implies the use of new advanced technologies for the manufacture of polymeric matrices, with 3D printing technology being a suitable option for tissue engineering due to its low processing cost, its simple operation and the wide use of biomaterials in biomedicine. Among the biopolymers used to obtain porous scaffolds, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) stands out due its mechanical and biodegradability properties, although its low bioactivity to promote bone regeneration is a great challenge. In this research, a 3D scaffold based on PLA reinforced with bioceramics such as graphene oxide (GO) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) was designed and characterized by FTIR, XRD, DSC, SEM and mechanical tests.

Critical-sized bone defects present a formidable challenge in tissue engineering, necessitating innovative approaches that integrate osteogenesis and angiogenesis for effective repair. Inspired by the hierarchical porous structure of natural bone, this study introduces a novel method for the scalable production of ultra-long, copper-doped hydroxyapatite (Cu-HAp) fibers, utilizing the rapid gelation properties of guar gum (GG) under controlled conditions. These fibers serve as foundational units to fabricate three-dimensional porous scaffolds with a biomimetic hierarchical architecture.
