Bone cement is a research hotspot and has been partially applied in the field of bone repair thanks to the good mechanical, physical and antibacterial properties. However, the easy wear and high temperature during curing characteristics would cause surrounding tissue necrosis, which seriously limits the wider application to some extent. In this work, the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nano flakes were optimized to enhance the bone cement matrix (PMMA) via mechanical doping. The doping of h-BN into PMMA results in an improved mechanical (bending stress increased by 26%), thermal-conductivity (increased by 175% with the loading of 20 wt%), wear-resistance properties, in addition, the h-BN has no significant impact on cell activity. What's more, the co-modification of PMMA with h-BN and Vancomycin (Va) endows the bone cement composites with more persistent drug release characteristics. This comprehensive performance evolution evaluation provides a reference for the innovative application of modified bone cement.

Nonunion fractures present a significant clinical challenge because of their complex microenvironment, which includes poor vascularization, insufficient osteogenesis, infection, and separation of fracture ends. The current clinical treatments have certain limitations. Inspired by this phenomenon, sandcastle worms secrete adhesive proteins that bind sand grains, shell fragments, and mineral particles, thereby constructing their "castles.

Introduction: Periodontitis is the most common non-communicable disease in humans. The main challenge in the treatment of periodontitis is to effectively control periodontal inflammation and promote tissue repair. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (hucMSCs-exo) have been reported to modulate inflammatory responses and promote tissue repairment mainly through miRNAs in several diseases.

Bone infection remains a challenging condition to fully eradicate due to its intricate nature. Traditional treatment strategies, involving long-term and high-dose systemic antibiotic administration, often encounter difficulties in achieving therapeutic drug concentrations locally and may lead to antibiotic resistance. Bone cement, serving as a local drug delivery matrix, has emerged as an effective anti-infective approach validated in clinical settings.

Background: Percutaneous vertebral augmentation is an effective and commonly surgical treatment for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, but the problem of bone cement leakage still cannot be prevented. It has been reported that cement leakage occurs in approximately 20% of vertebroplasty procedures, with symptomatic manifestations reported in 1.6% of cases.

Vascularized bone tissue engineering for osteogenesis is considered a key approach for the repair of critical bone defects. Icariin(ICA) has been employed in bone tissue engineering for osteogenesis in several studies, demonstrating significant angiogenic and osteogenic effects in vivo in rat models. However, the in vivo angiogenic and osteogenic effects of Icariside II (ICSII), a gastrointestinal metabolite of ICA, remain unclear.
