In this work, a biomimetic sandwich-layered PACG-CS@Mn(III) hydrogel (SL hydrogel) was facilely fabricated in an end-tail soaking strategy by simply post-crosslinking of poly(acryloyl 2-glycine)-chitosan (PACG-CS) composite hydrogel using trivalent manganese solutions. Taking the merits of <em>in-situ</em> formation and flexible adjustment of chain entanglements, hydrogen bonds and metal chelate interactions, SL hydrogel with sandwich-like three-layered structures and anisotropic mechanical performance was easily customized through control of the manganese concentration and soaking time in fore-and-aft sides, simulating the structurally and mechanically biomimetic characteristics of cortical and cancellous bone. Furthermore, the produced SL hydrogel also demonstrated favorable biocompatibility and enhanced MnSOD activity via a peroxidase-like reaction, which enabled the excellent radical scavenging efficiency and anti-inflammatory regulation for facilitating the activity, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). <em>In vivo</em> studies further revealed that these SL hydrogels achieved restrictive pro-vascular regeneration through their stratified structure, thereby promoting the differentiation of osteoblasts. Simultaneously, the mechanical cues of stratified structure could mediate macrophage phenotype transitions in accordance with stem cell-osteoblast differentiation process via the PI3K-AKT pathway, resulting in robust osteogenesis and high-quality bone reconstruction. This facile yet efficient strategy of turning anisotropic hydrogel offers a promising alternative for full-thickness repair of bone defects, which is also significantly imperative to achieve high-performance scaffolds with specific usage requirements and expand their clinic applicability in more complex anisotropic tissues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8762,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Materials","volume":"49 ","pages":"Pages 486-501"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143681505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study is among the first to focus on using thymosin β4 protein-derived metabolites to pioneer novel applications for peptide metabolites in biomaterials. This study found that the novel peptide metabolite acetyl-thymosin β4 (amino acid 1–17) (Ac-Tβ<sub>1-17</sub>) exhibited significant protease inhibition activity against SARS-CoV-2, surpassing its precursor protein. Additionally, Ac-Tβ<sub>1-17</sub> demonstrated beneficial effects, such as cell proliferation, wound healing, and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Integrating Ac-Tβ<sub>1-17</sub> into a peptide-based scaffold facilitated cell growth and angiogenesis inside the scaffold and through gradual release into the surrounding environment. The Ac-Tβ<sub>1-17</sub> peptide treatment induced significant biochemical responses in HUVEC, increasing Akt, ERK, PI3K, MEK, and Bcl-2 gene expression and proangiogenic proteins. Ac-Tβ<sub>1-17</sub> peptide treatment showed similar results in ex vivo by enhancing mouse fetal metatarsal growth and angiogenesis.

However, physiological regeneration remains rare due to its intricate structure, making clinical regeneration a challenge. Periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs), first isolated in 2004, hold the key to multi-directional differentiation into cementoblasts, fibroblasts, and osteoblasts. While traditional therapies like guided tissue regeneration (GTR) aim to activate PDLSCs, clinical outcomes are inconsistent, suggesting the need for additional strategies to enhance PDLSCs' functions. Advancements in molecular biotechnology have introduced the use of recombinant growth factors for tissue regeneration. However, maintaining their efficacy requires high doses, posing cost and safety issues. Multi-layered scaffolds combined with cell sheet technology offer new insights, but face production, ethical, and survival challenges. Immune regulation plays a crucial role in PDLSC-mediated regeneration. The concept of “coagulo-immunomodulation” has emerged, emphasizing the coupling of blood coagulation and immune responses for periodontal regeneration. Despite its potential, the clinical translation of immune-based strategies remains elusive. The “developmental engineering” approach, which mimics developmental events using embryonic-stage cells and microenvironments, shows promise. Our research group has made initial strides, indicating its potential as a viable solution for periodontal complex regeneration. However, further clinical trials and considerations are needed for successful clinical application. This review aims to summarize the strategic transitions in the development of periodontal regenerative materials and to propose prospective avenues for future development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8762,"journal":{"name":"Bioactive Materials","volume":"49 ","pages":"Pages 418-436"},"PeriodicalIF":18.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143642216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physical-chemical and molecular biological methods confirmed that CeZnHA, characterized by a rapid degradation rate, releases Ce/Zn ions that restore mitochondrial metabolic homeostasis and M1/M2 balance of macrophages through swift redox reactions. This process reduces the glycolysis level of macrophages by down-regulating the NF-κB p65 signaling pathway, enhances their mitochondrial metabolic dependence, alleviates excessive early inflammatory responses, and promptly initiates osteogenesis. The FM network provided a stable platform for macrophage glycolytic transformation and simulated extracellular matrix microenvironment, continuously restoring mitochondrial homeostasis and accelerating ossification center formation through the release of metal ions from the internal CeZnHA for efficient bone immune cascade reactions.

Therefore, this study proposes, for the first time, an ultrasonic nasal drop formulation that induces efficient regeneration of damaged neurons through electropharmacological coupling in an noninvasive manner. Liposomes containing the natural anti-inflammatory drug Timosaponin B-II (TB) were coated onto barium titanate nanoparticles (BTO) to form LTO@TB. Using microfluidic technology and a Schiff base reaction, LTO@TB was encapsulated into aldehyde-based and methacrylate-modified microspheres (MS) to create the ultrasonic nasal drop MS@LTO@TB. The aldehyde groups of MS@LTO@TB spontaneously formed amide bonds with the numerous amino groups in the nasal mucosa, facilitating specific adhesion. Due to its enhanced bioadhesion and efficient transmembrane transport, LTO@TB was continuously and noninvasively delivered to the brain when administered nasally. Additionally, under ultrasonic stimulation, LTO@TB in the brain exerted an electropharmacological coupling effect, achieving noninvasive electrical stimulation of damaged neurons. MS@LTO@TB modulated microglial phenotypes, restored electrical signal conduction among damaged neurons, reshaped the inflammatory microenvironment, reduced neuronal apoptosis, activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, and promoted axonal regeneration.
