Natural resorbable collagen membranes are widely used in guided bone regeneration (GBR) in oral implantology and prosthodontics. However, the rapid degradation and inadequate mechanical properties raise concerns about potentially compromising the ultimate bone regeneration efficacy. In this study, we developed a novel GBR membrane by coating a urinary bladder matrix (UBM) onto small intestinal submucosa (SIS), a commonly used acellular material, to improve the cell-barrier and bone-regeneration performances. The results showed that the UBM-SIS membrane exhibited superior tensile strength, high compliance, and slower degradation rate compared to a commercial Bio-Gide membrane, thereby enhancing the support and maintenance properties. In vitro studies indicated enhanced osteogenic behavior and higher osteogenic cytokine expression in human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) cultured with UBM-SIS extract. In canine mandibular defect models, we proved that the UBM layer effectively resisted fibroblast invasion in the early stage, thereby enhancing the bone meal duration and osteoblast growth. Microcomputed tomography analysis revealed the greater quantity and maturity of bone trabeculae using a UBM-SIS membrane, exhibiting enhanced bone formation at 12 weeks and trabecular maturity at 24 weeks. In conclusion, we proposed a modified resorbable GBR membrane that may improve clinical outcomes in prosthodontics.

Reconstructing bone defects remains a significant challenge in clinical practice, driving the urgent need for advanced artificial grafts that simultaneously promote vascularization and osteogenesis. Addressing the critical trade-off between achieving high porosity/strength and effective bioactivity at safe ion doses, we incorporated strontium (Sr) into β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds with a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure using digital light processing (DLP)-based three-dimensional (3D) printing. Systematically screening Sr concentrations (0-10 mol%), we identified 10 mol% as optimal, leveraging the synergy between the biomimetic TPMS architecture, providing exceptional mechanical strength (up to 1.

Distraction osteogenesis (DO) is an endogenous bone tissue engineering technique that harnesses the regenerative potential of bone and has been widely applied in limb lengthening, bone defect repair, and craniofacial reconstruction. The DO procedure consists of three distinct phases: the latency phase, the distraction phase, and the consolidation phase, each characterized by unique biological processes. In recent years, increasing attention has been directed toward the role of the immune system during DO.

This study highlights the biomedical relevance of injectable TS (tannic acid-silk fibroin)-Mg/Sr hydrogels in alveolar bone repair, particularly their prospective role as carriers for stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) in tissue regeneration. By utilizing self-assembling silk material, noted for its favorable handling properties, we present a useful approach for single-wall bone defects, such as bone fenestration and fractures in the oral cavity. Furthermore, our findings regarding the involvement of the TRPM7 ion channel indicate a possible regulatory pathway for improving alveolar bone defect repair.

The diabetic microenvironment intensifies M1-type macrophage-mediated inflammation and impairs bone regeneration. Glycophagy-a process of glycogen-selective autophagy that degrades intracellular glycogen into glucose-is essential for maintaining glucose homeostasis under metabolic stress. The role of glycophagy in regulating M1-type polarization remains unclear.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces have garnered significant interest in the field of biomaterial scaffolds due to their unique structural properties, including a high surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio, tunable permeability, and the potential for enhanced biocompatibility. Bone scaffolds necessitate specific features to effectively support tissue regeneration. This study examines the permeability and active cell proliferation area of advanced Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) lattice structures, focusing on a novel lattice design.
