Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has emerged as a promising approach, employing scaffolds to regenerate bone tissue. This review highlights that successful material design for BTE requires a comprehensive understanding of the composition, structure, and biomechanics of natural bone. It also necessitates the careful selection of biomimetic natural or tunable synthetic materials, including polymers, bioceramics, metals, and composites. Furthermore, optimizing the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of scaffolds is crucial, as these factors influence cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Special attention is given to the interaction between scaffolds and the host immune system, including the strategic incorporation of bioactive molecules and immunoregulatory cells. This holistic approach aims to engineer scaffolds that not only meet structural and functional demands but also foster an immune-compatible environment to enhance bone regeneration effectively. Careful selection of effective immunomodulation strategies for 3D scaffolds is crucial for creating a supportive immune microenvironment without negative effects. Various approaches can enhance the immune response, including incorporating smart nanomaterials into the surface of scaffolds, which contribute to immunomodulation, angiogenesis, and osteogenesis. Using stem cells for regenerating damaged bone tissue also improves the scaffold's immune response. Moreover, ionic and molecular doping are effective methods used to enhance immune response of scaffold in (BET), where specific ions like magnesium, zinc, and silicon are added to improve bioactivity and immune modulation capabilities. Finally, Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway can be activated by integrating lithium into the scaffold surface, as lithium has anti-inflammatory properties and promotes bone formation by activating these pathways.</p>","PeriodicalId":9723,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Banking","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146257463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles secreted by diverse cell types, have emerged as promising cell-free mediators of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, and immune regulation. However, the therapeutic efficacy of native exosomes is constrained by low yield, rapid clearance, and limited targeting. Because effective bone regeneration is inherently multi-factorial-requiring biomechanical stability, vascularization, and an instructive ECM and cellular microenvironment-engineered exosomes should be regarded as enabling components within integrated regenerative systems rather than a standalone solution. Recent advances in engineered exosomes (EExos) have opened new frontiers in bone tissue regeneration by enabling precise design, biofunctionalization, and targeted delivery. Engineering strategies-ranging from genetic modification of donor cells to chemical conjugation, hybrid nanocarrier formation, and controlled cargo loading-have been employed to enhance the osteoinductive and osteoconductive potential of exosomes. Furthermore, incorporation of EExos into smart delivery systems, such as hydrogel scaffolds, 3D-printed matrices, and bone-targeting ligands, offers sustained release and localized therapeutic effects within the bone microenvironment. This review comprehensively summarizes the latest developments in the design, delivery, and functional optimization of EExos for bone regeneration. Mechanistic insights into their roles in promoting bone remodeling, angiogenesis, and immune modulation are discussed alongside current translational progress, manufacturing challenges, and regulatory considerations.

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is one of the important drugs with modulating function for treatment of various immune disease. The primary aim of this study was to investigate how dimethyl fumarate influences the immunomodulatory profile and functional properties of adipose‑derived mesenchymal stem cells under inflammatory conditions. Adipose-stimulating stem cells (ASCs) were isolated from the abdominal adipose tissue of ten patients via liposuction, and DMF was added after inducing inflammatory conditions with inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-γ and TNF-α. Cell culture and RT-PCR were performed to measure the expression of immunomodulatory factors such as Galectin-1/3, HGF, HO-1, CXCL-8, and IL-6. Flow cytometry for mesenchymal stem cell nature and confirmation was done. Fat and bone staining was performed to test the functional differentiation of these cells. ASCs treated with DMF at 0.01-100 μM concentration at 2 days showed the enhancement of CXCL-8 and IL-6 gene expression notably, whereas, HGF, and Galectin-1 reduced. Moreover, Galectin-3 and HO-1 depicted no significant difference compared to the control group. Further, Alizarin Red and Oil Red staining verified the change of MSCs toward adipose and osteogenic differentiation. ASCs are positive for markers including CD73+, CD90+, and CD105+ antigens by abs staining conjugated to fluorescence dye. Our study confirmed that ASCs combined with DMF have increasingly important roles through immune-modulatory properties by secreting mediators, which can suppress, improve, alter, or change the microenvironment of disease.

Osteoinductive potential was evaluated in vitro using C2C12 cells and osteoinductivity in vivo in the athymic rat model. Direct treatment of cells with NMP in vitro produced a greater than tenfold increase in alkaline phosphatase activity at 40 mg/mL. In vivo, human NMP showed increased osteoinductivity compared to human DBM histologically, and the recovered NMP explants had significantly more mineralized bone and a higher bone volume fraction compared to DBM and to Infuse® Bone Graft (105 µg rhBMP-2 on an absorbable collagen sponge) as measured by microCT.
