Article Abstract
This work reports on the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) magnesium substituted bi-phasic calcium phosphate (Mg-BCP) scaffolds by gel-casting, their structural and physico-chemical characterization, and on the assessment of their and performances. The crystalline phase assemblage, chemical functional groups and porous morphology features of the scaffolds were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. The sintered scaffolds revealed an interconnected porosity with pore sizes ranging from 4.3 to 7.28 μm. The scaffolds exhibited good biomineralization activity upon immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), while an study using MG-63 cell line cultures confirmed their improved biocompatibility, cell proliferation and bioactivity. Bone grafting of 3D scaffolds was performed in non-load bearing bone defects surgically created in tibia of rabbits, used as animal model. Histological and radiological observations indicated the successful restoration of bone defects. The overall results confirmed the suitability of the scaffolds to be further tested as synthetic bone grafts in bone regeneration surgeries and in bone tissue engineering applications.

The reunion and restoration of large segmental bone defects pose significant clinical challenges. Conventional strategies primarily involve the combination of bone scaffolds with seeded cells and/or growth factors to regulate osteogenesis and angiogenesis. However, these therapies face inherent issues related to immunogenicity, tumorigenesis, bioactivity, and off-the-shelf transplantation.

Biobased furfural is a sustainable alternative to petrochemical intermediates for bulk chemicals and fuel production. However, existing methods for the conversion of xylose or lignocelluloses in mono-/bi-phasic systems to furfural involve non-selective sugar isolation or lignin condensation, limiting the valorisation of lignocelluloses. Herein, we used diformylxylose (DFX), a xylose derivative that is formed during the lignocellulosic fractionation process with formaldehyde protection, as a substitute for xylose to produce furfural in biphasic systems.

Article Synopsis
- Bi-phasic calcium phosphates (BCPs) are being researched as materials for bone graft substitutes, and cation-doping might enhance their effectiveness.
- This study fabricated pure and magnesium (Mg) and strontium (Sr) doped BCP scaffolds using advanced techniques, and the results showed that all scaffold types performed similarly in promoting osteoblast cell growth, especially the ones doped with both Mg and Sr.
- The findings revealed that the double doping of Mg and Sr increased the tricalcium phosphate/hydroxyapatite ratio, which may lead to a more effective release of therapeutic ions and better performance for future medical devices.
Comparison of a standardized four-point bending test to an implant system test of an osteosynthetic system under static and dynamic load condition.

Current test standards of osteosynthetic implants examine the bone plate and screw separately leading to unrealistic load scenarios and unknown performance of the system as a whole, which prevents the identification of characteristic failures in clinical use. A standardized static and dynamic four-point bending test (ASTM F382) was performed on a bone plate. Based on that standard, an advanced implant system test (IST) was designed and performed to test a mechanical construct consisting of a bone plate, screws and an artificial bone substitute out of Polyoxymethylene (POM).
