Abstract

Bone organoids are emerging as powerful tools for studying bone development and related diseases. However, the simplified design of current methods somewhat limits their application potential, as these methods produce single-tissue organoids that fail to replicate the bone microarchitecture or achieve effective mineralization. To address this issue, we propose a three-dimensional (3D) construction strategy for generating mineralized bone structures using bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). By mixing BMSCs with hydrogel to create a bone matrix-mimicking bioink and employing projection-based light-curing 3D printing technology, we constructed 3D-printed structures, which were then implanted subcutaneously into nude mice, away from the native bone microenvironment. Even without external stimulation, these implants spontaneously formed mineralized bone domains. With long-term culture, these structures gradually matured into fully differentiated bone tissue, completing both mineralization and vascularization. This in vivo bone organoid model offers a novel platform for studying bone development, exploring congenital diseases, testing drugs, and developing therapeutic applications.

期刊介绍： Bioactive Materials is a peer-reviewed research publication that focuses on advancements in bioactive materials. The journal accepts research papers, reviews, and rapid communications in the field of next-generation biomaterials that interact with cells, tissues, and organs in various living organisms. The primary goal of Bioactive Materials is to promote the science and engineering of biomaterials that exhibit adaptiveness to the biological environment. These materials are specifically designed to stimulate or direct appropriate cell and tissue responses or regulate interactions with microorganisms. The journal covers a wide range of bioactive materials, including those that are engineered or designed in terms of their physical form (e.g. particulate, fiber), topology (e.g. porosity, surface roughness), or dimensions (ranging from macro to nano-scales). Contributions are sought from the following categories of bioactive materials: Bioactive metals and alloys Bioactive inorganics: ceramics, glasses, and carbon-based materials Bioactive polymers and gels Bioactive materials derived from natural sources Bioactive composites These materials find applications in human and veterinary medicine, such as implants, tissue engineering scaffolds, cell/drug/gene carriers, as well as imaging and sensing devices.
