      Osteoarthritis caused by articular cartilage defects is a particularly common orthopedic disease that can involve the entire joint, causing great pain to its sufferers. A global patient population of approximately 250 million people has an increasing demand for new therapies with excellent results, and tissue engineering scaffolds have been proposed as a potential strategy for the repair and reconstruction of cartilage defects. The precise control and high flexibility of 3D printing provide a platform for subversive innovation. In this perspective, cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) scaffolds manufactured using different biomaterials are summarized from the perspective of 3D printing strategies, the bionic structure strategies and special functional designs are classified and discussed, and the advantages and limitations of these CTE scaffold preparation strategies are analyzed in detail. Finally, the application prospect and challenges of 3D printed CTE scaffolds are discussed, providing enlightening insights for their current research.

      Biomimetic cell culture, which involves creating a biomimetic microenvironment for cells in vitro by engineering approaches, has aroused increasing interest given that it maintains the normal cellular phenotype, genotype and functions displayed in vivo. Therefore, it can provide a more precise platform for disease modelling, drug development and regenerative medicine than the conventional plate cell culture. In this review, initially, we discuss the principle of biomimetic cell culture in terms of the spatial microenvironment, chemical microenvironment, and physical microenvironment. Then, the main strategies of biomimetic cell culture and their state-of-the-art progress are summarized. To create a biomimetic microenvironment for cells, a variety of strategies has been developed, ranging from conventional scaffold strategies, such as macroscopic scaffolds, microcarriers, and microgels, to emerging scaffold-free strategies, such as spheroids, organoids, and assembloids, to simulate the native cellular microenvironment. Recently, 3D bioprinting and microfluidic chip technology have been applied as integrative platforms to obtain more complex biomimetic structures. Finally, the challenges in this area are discussed and future directions are discussed to shed some light on the community.

    Recent advances in GTR scaffolds.

      Periodontitis is a serious chronic inflammatory condition that can cause periodontal tissue deterioration and, eventually, tooth loss. Periodontal regenerative therapy using membranes and bone grafting materials, as well as flap debridement and/or flap curettage, have all been used with varying degrees of clinical effectiveness. Current resorbable and non-resorbable membranes serve as a physical barrier, preventing connective and epithelial tissue down growth into the defect and promoting periodontal tissue regeneration. The "perfect" membrane for use in periodontal regenerative therapy has yet to be created, as these conventional membranes have several structural, mechanical, and bio-functional constraints. We hypothesised in this narrative review that the next-generation of guided tissue and guided bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) membranes for periodontal tissue engineering will be a graded-biomaterials that closely mimics the extracellular matrix.

      3D Bioprinting is revolutionizing the fields of personalized and precision medicine by enabling the manufacturing of bioartificial implants that recapitulate the structural and functional characteristics of native tissues. However, the lack of quantitative and noninvasive techniques to longitudinally track the function of implants has hampered clinical applications of bioprinted scaffolds. In this study, multimaterial 3D bioprinting, engineered nanoparticles (NPs), and spectral photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) technologies were integrated for the aim of developing a new precision medicine approach to custom-engineer scaffolds with traceability. Multiple CT-visible hydrogel-based bioinks, containing distinct molecular (iodine and gadolinium) and NP (iodine-loaded liposome, gold, methacrylated gold (AuMA), and Gd2O3) contrast agents, were used to bioprint scaffolds with varying geometries at adequate fidelity levels. In vitro release studies, together with printing fidelity, mechanical, and biocompatibility tests identified AuMA and Gd2O3 NPs as optimal reagents to track bioprinted constructs. Spectral PCCT imaging of scaffolds in vitro and subcutaneous implants in mice enabled noninvasive material discrimination and contrast agent quantification. Together, these results establish a novel theranostic platform with high precision, tunability, throughput, and reproducibility and open new prospects for a broad range of applications in the field of precision and personalized regenerative medicine.

      Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a multidisciplinary area that can solve the limitation of conventional grafting methods by developing viable and biocompatible bone replacements. The three essential components of BTE, i.e., Scaffold material and Cells and Growth factors altogether, facilitate support and guide for bone formation, differentiation of the bone tissues, and enhancement in the cellular activities and bone regeneration. However, there is a scarcity of the appropriate materials that can match the mechanical property as well as functional similarity to native tissue, considering the bone as hard tissue. In such scenarios, nanotechnology can be leveraged upon to achieve the desired aspects of BTE, and that is the key point of this review article. This review article examines the significant areas of nanotechnology research that have an impact on regeneration of bone: (a) scaffold with nanomaterials helps to enhance physicochemical interactions, biocompatibility, mechanical stability, and attachment; (b) nanoparticle-based approaches for delivering bioactive chemicals, growth factors, and genetic material. The article begins with the introduction of components and healing mechanisms of bone and the factors associated with them. The focus of this article is on the various nanotopographies that are now being used in scaffold formation, by describing how they are made, and how these nanotopographies affect the immune system and potential underlying mechanisms. The advantages of 4D bioprinting in BTE by using nanoink have also been mentioned. Additionally, we have investigated the importance of an in silico approach for finding the interaction between drugs and their related receptors, which can help to formulate suitable systems for delivery. This review emphasizes the role of nanoscale approach and how it helps to increase the efficacy of parameters of scaffold as well as drug delivery system for tissue engineering and bone regeneration.

      Wounds are a stern healthcare concern in the growth of chronic disease conditions as they can increase healthcare costs and complicate internal and external health. Advancements in the current and newer management systems for wound healing should be in place to counter the health burden of wounds. Researchers discovered that two-dimensional (2D) media lacks appropriate real-life detection of cellular matter as these have highly complicated and diverse structures, compositions, and interactions. Hence, innovation towards three-dimensional (3D) media is called to conquer the high-level assessment and characterization in vivo using new technologies. The application of modern wound dressings prepared from a degenerated natural tissue, biodegradable biopolymer, synthetic polymer, or a composite of these materials in wound healing is currently an area of innovation in tissue regeneration medicine. Moreover, the integration of 3D printing and nanomaterial science is a promising approach with the potential for individualized, flexible, and precise technology for wound care approaches. This review encompasses the outcomes of various investigations on recent advances in 3D-printed drug-loaded natural, synthetic, and composite nanomaterials for wound healing. The challenges associated with their fabrication, clinical application progress, and future perspectives are also addressed.

      Osteoarthritis (OA) poses a significant burden for countless individuals, inflicting relentless pain and impairing their quality of life. Although traditional treatments for OA focus on pain management and surgical interventions, they often fall short of addressing the underlying cause of the disease. Fortunately, emerging biomaterial-based scaffolds offer hope for OA therapy, providing immense promise for cartilage regeneration in OA. These innovative scaffolds are ingeniously designed to provide support and mimic the intricate structure of the natural extracellular matrix, thus stimulating the regeneration of damaged cartilage. In this comprehensive review, we summarize and discuss current landscape of biomaterial-based scaffolds for cartilage regeneration in OA. Furthermore, we delve into the diverse range of biomaterials employed in their construction and explore the cutting-edge techniques utilized in their fabrication. By examining both preclinical and clinical studies, we aim to illuminate the remarkable versatility and untapped potential of biomaterial-based scaffolds in the context of OA.
    Thetranslational potential of this article: By thoroughly examining the current state of research and clinical studies, this review provides valuable insights that bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and practical application. This knowledge is crucial for clinicians and researchers who strive to develop innovative treatments that go beyond symptom management and directly target the underlying cause of OA. Through the comprehensive analysis and multidisciplinary approach, the review paves the way for the translation of scientific knowledge into practical applications, ultimately improving the lives of individuals suffering from OA and shaping the future of orthopedic medicine.
