This three-dimensional bioprinting technique utilizes specialized concentric nozzles to facilitate the simultaneous extrusion of distinct biomaterials, enabling the fabrication of layered constructs that closely resemble native tissues. Unlike traditional extrusion-based methods, coaxial printing allows for independent control over core and shell materials. This enables multimaterial integration, and tailored microenvironments that conventional extrusion methods cannot achieve. Recent technical innovations in coaxial EBB also include improved nozzle designs and bioink formulations, which have contributed to enhanced functional mimicry of native tissues and mechanical integrity of printed constructs. Coaxial EBB has demonstrated potential in spinal cord injury repair, perfusable small-diameter vessel engineering, accurate tumor microenvironment replication for oncology research, and complex organoid systems for personalized medicine. Despite these advancements, persistent challenges in coaxial EBB include maintaining cell viability under shear stress, optimizing bioink rheology, preventing nozzle clogging, and managing regulatory considerations. Future research directions involve the development of predictive computational models and the incorporation of innovative biomaterials for dynamic functionality. Addressing these challenges would allow the full therapeutic and clinical potential of coaxial bioprinting in regenerative medicine to be achieved. This review discusses and summarizes these advancements and limitations in coaxial EBB over the last decade, with an emphasis on applications in regenerative medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

Adhesive hydrogels have emerged as pivotal biomaterials for orthopedic therapies, offering localized treatment with enhanced biocompatibility, tunable mechanics, and sustained bioactive delivery. While systemic drug administration often suffers from off-target effects, adhesive hydrogels enable precise tissue integration and microenvironmental modulation, addressing challenges such as infection control, tissue regeneration, and mechanical reinforcement. However, achieving optimal adhesion strength, dynamic mechanical matching, and selective tissue targeting remains a critical hurdle. Innovative strategies, including dynamic covalent bonds, stimuli-responsive networks, and multifunctional hybridization, have expanded hydrogel applications in diabetic wound healing, load-bearing bone repair, and spinal cord regeneration. For instance, injectable hydrogels with wet adhesion capabilities facilitate minimally invasive delivery, while drug-eluting systems localize chemotherapeutics to tumor sites, reducing systemic toxicity. Despite these advances, scalability, long-term stability, and clinical translation require further exploration. This review systematically examines the design principles, functional mechanisms, and therapeutic applications of adhesive hydrogels in orthopedics, emphasizing their role in bridging biomechanical demands with biological regeneration. We envision that interdisciplinary innovation in smart hydrogels will unlock personalized solutions, transforming the landscape of precision orthopedic medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

It demonstrates that an imbalance in ROS can impede bone healing by disrupting the equilibrium between pro-inflammatory (M1) and pro-repair (M2) macrophage phenotypes. Furthermore, the review delineates the mechanisms through which ROS can influence mesenchymal stem cell differentiation and osteoclast activity, while also highlighting the body's antioxidant defenses that counteract OS. Innovative strategies are explored, particularly the use of biomaterials and nanomedicine, which aim to modulate ROS levels and macrophage polarization, thereby fostering a conducive microenvironment for bone regeneration. The integration of nanotechnology, biomaterials, and cellular biology emerges as a promising frontier for advancing bone regeneration therapies, with the necessity for clinical validation underscored throughout. Impact Statement This review establishes redox modulation as a paradigm-shifting strategy for bone regeneration. We elucidate how engineered biocomposites precisely recalibrate reactive oxygen species (ROS) to resolve osteo-inflammation, directing macrophage polarization from pro-inflammatory (M1) to pro-regenerative (M2) phenotypes. This immune reprogramming synergistically enhances mesenchymal stem cell osteogenesis and suppresses osteoclastogenesis. By integrating cutting-edge biomaterial design-including enzyme-mimetic nanozymes and organelle-targeted antioxidants-we highlight clinically viable solutions for diabetic bone defects, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Our framework bridges immunology, nanotechnology, and tissue engineering, offering transformative therapeutic avenues for inflammatory osteopathies.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.

Organoids exhibit organ-specific architecture, function, and multicellular composition, can be infinitely derived from pluripotent stem cells, and can be further directed toward organoids of the endocrine or exocrine pancreas. Pancreatic endocrine organoids are rapidly redefining diabetes therapies due to their ability to recapitulate glucose-responsive insulin secretion. Conversely, there is less focus on pancreatic exocrine organoids, which possess untapped potential for investigating disorders such as cancer and cystic fibrosis. This review first summarizes human pancreatic organogenesis to contextualize relevant differentiation pathways, then details protocols that guide human pluripotent stem cells through key developmental stages. Methods to enhance cellular maturation and establish higher-performing end products, as well as the therapeutic value of different pancreatic genres, are assessed. Furthermore, crucial gaps are identified, including limited insight into non-beta-endocrine cells, progenitor lineage bias, and off-target differentiation.

Bone aging often presents with osteoporosis and impaired osteogenic niche, thereby increasing fracture risk and decreasing regenerative capacity. Therefore, bone aging and osteoporotic bone defects have become a significant challenge in clinical practice. Tissue-engineered scaffolds are of significant importance in managing osteoporotic bone defects by providing mechanical support, facilitating bone regeneration and repair. They can also serve as a vehicle for drugs or factors for osteoporosis management, thereby enabling localized targeted therapy. The local release of active pharmaceutical agents for the treatment of osteoporosis via biomaterials could serve to reduce the occurrence of systemic side effects, while improving the local aging metabolic microenvironment and immune microenvironment. This review presents a comprehensive discussion of the mechanisms and treatment methods of osteoporosis. The scaffolds used for osteoporotic bone defects are also reviewed. We conducted an in-depth analysis of the impact of diverse preparation techniques and modifications on the osteogenic properties of the scaffolds, and reviewed different materials of drug delivery scaffolds for the repair of osteoporotic bone defects. Finally, we put forward our scientific concept regarding the treatment of bone aging and osteoporotic bone defects.

Chitosan has been shown to influence Schwann cell proliferation, reduce scarring, support axon growth, and provide superior peripheral nerve regenerative outcomes compared to nerve injuries without chitosan. This article reviews preclinical studies to collectively determine whether the presence of chitosan enhances neuroregenerative outcomes following nerve injury as compared to settings without chitosan. The most consistent outcome measure reported across studies was functional analysis, followed by histomorphometry. Most animal studies showed no significant differences in functional recovery, electrophysiology metrics, and histomorphometry parameters between chitosan-based conduit repairs, reconstruction using autografts, or direct nerve repairs. A subset of studies reported superior outcomes with chitosan conduits for nerve reconstruction, while others indicated inferior results compared to conventional repair. The two human studies focused on digital nerve repair with sensory gaps ≤ 26 mm and demonstrated significantly improved 2-point discrimination at 6 months and equivalent function by 12 months with chitosan conduits compared to standard direct repair. The introduction of chitosan into nerve repair and reconstructions provides a potentially beneficial biological augmentation to the nerve microenvironment that enhances cellular, electrophysiological, and functional outcomes. However, heterogeneous approaches to functional, electrodiagnostic, and histological assessments in addition to varying control groups create a significant deficiency in understanding the true utility of chitosan-based devices within the field of nerve regeneration. Further needs for standardization in the study and comparison of biomaterials for effective clinical translation is needed. Nonetheless, this study highlights papers that are effective in achieving a strong propensity towards the utility of chitosan within biomaterial development for nerve reconstruction.</p>","PeriodicalId":23134,"journal":{"name":"Tissue Engineering.
