Bone tissue engineering are often conceived of as a harmonious intersection between different scientific fields of interest, including cell biology, cell signaling, and bioengineering/material sciences. Thus, effective therapies for bone engineering typically employ the coordinated manipulation of cells, biologically active signaling molecules, and biomimetic, biodegradable scaffolds. Bone tissue engineering has become increasingly hooked in to the merging of innovations from each of those fields, as they still evolve independently. Within the following special issue, we sought to include these diverse areas of emphasis so as to reflect current trends within the field.

In the modern medical world, bone tissue reparation is becoming an increasingly feasible process. The technique most ordinarily used for this operation may be a bone graft, where surgeons place existing, gathered bone mass from another source and graft it to the section of bone being repaired. However, it's very difficult to amass the quantity of bone necessary for such an operation. Fortunately, a replacement method of repairing bone damage has emerged.

Bone Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Scaffold requirements

Bone tissue engineering scaffolds are 3D structures that provide an architecture and environment for bone tissue to develop and grow, guiding the spatially and temporally complex process of bone fracture repair Indeed, scaffolds are designed to market cell adhesion, survival, migration and proliferation, accelerate bone remodeling, provide osteoconductive structural guidance, and in some cases act as carrier materials for GFs, antibiotics or gene. A successful bone tissue engineering system must include:

(i) a chemically and mechanically biocompatible scaffold that mimics the ECM;

(ii) the presence of morphogenic signals to recruit and direct osteogenic cells; and

(iii) vascularization to supply nutrient supply for the new tissue. In order to satisfy these components, a successful scaffold must meet certain biological, mechanical and structural requirements.

Ceramics

Similar to metals, ceramics are used commonly as biomaterials for orthopedic applications, both within the sort of ceramic implants and coatings for implant fixation. However, ceramics are formed into highly porous structures by methods like selective laser sintering and 3D printing so as to be used as bone tissue engineering scaffolds.

Polymers

Polymeric scaffolds have emerged as excellent candidates for bone tissue regeneration, primarily thanks to their versatile and tunable properties A key advantage of biodegradable polymers, specifically, is their ability to support tissue regeneration and remodeling before being resorbed by the body.

Synthetic polymers

Key advantages of synthetic polymers dwell the power to tune properties. In fabricating scaffolds from synthetic polymers, it's possible to regulate degradation rate, to tune mechanical properties and to fabricate complex shapes. additionally, synthetic polymers are highly reliable source . Common synthetic polymers for bone tissue engineering include poly (glycolic acid), poly(lactic acid), copolymers of poly (DL-lactic–glycolic acid) (PLGA), Polycaprolactone (PCL) and lots of others. Synthetic polymers are especially attractive within the context of hydrogels, which are highly hydrated polymeric networks and thus attractive materials to be utilized in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.

Natural polymers

Among the foremost common natural polymers used for bone tissue engineering applications are collagen, silk fibroin, chitosan, also as alginate and mucopolysaccharide thanks to their superior chemical biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and proven ability to facilitate cell growth. additionally, natural polymer scaffold porosity, charge and mechanical strength are often tuned by optimizing polymer concentration and fabrication conditions. Natural polymers also present a variety of ligands that are shown to facilitate somatic cell adhesion. Natural polymer-based porous scaffolds are often fabricated via a good range of methods including fiber bonding, melt molding, solvent casting, gas foaming, phase separation and electrospinning.

Inflammatory factors

Inflammation is that the first stage in bone fracture repair and occurs during the primary days after fracture occurs. Vascular disruption upon injury results in the formation of a clot at the bone fracture site, and an inflammatory response is initiated. Inflammatory cells are recruited to the clot through multiple pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, which are released by platelets in vivo . Indeed, the key role of inflammatory cytokines is to market the invasion of lymphocytes, plasma cells, macrophages and osteoclasts. The key inflammatory cytokines include tumor necrosis factor α, which increases osteoclast activity, FGF-2, interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6 and macrophage colony-stimulating factor.

Nanoparticle Incorporation into Scaffold

The final strategy for GF delivery in bone tissue engineering applications is thru incorporating nanoparticles into the bone tissue engineering scaffold. Indeed, delivery systems counting on non-covalent protein incorporation believe the adsorption of the protein into the biomaterial and its slow desorption at the local site. The encapsulation of proteins within nanoparticles, which are then delivered by scaffolds would leave more precise control of their release and achieve the long-term sustained release profiles desired surely GFs and applications

Future Challenges

Bone tissue engineering research has significantly advanced, in terms of scaffold fabrication and in promising strategies for GF delivery. This review first outlined the biological, mechanical and structural requirements within the design of a successful scaffold, followed by an summary of common materials for scaffold fabrication. the various GFs involved in inflammation, angiogenesis and osteogenesis, which are the key phases in bone fracture repair, were then summarized. Subsequently, the varied requirements for optimal GF delivery systems were described. Finally, this review provided a quick overview of a number of the key GF delivery approaches existing within the literature, namely, the covalent binding of GFs to scaffolds, noncovalent immobilization of GFs within scaffolds and encapsulation of GFs within scaffold-incorporated nanoparticles. the utilization of nanoparticles, especially , has provided promising results. Another challenge facing the widespread implementation of bone tissue engineering approaches is that the difficulty of regenerating properly vascularized bone tissue.
