Injectable Bone Cement Reinforced with Gold Nanodots Decorated rGO-Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposites, Augment Bone Regeneration

Vianni Chopra et al.

Summary: The development of new injectable bone cements with appropriate properties has gained interest in the field of nanoscience. Injectable bone cements made with calcium sulfate (CS) are compatible and self-setting, but have limitations in terms of resorption, bioactivity, and mechanical strength. This study presents a modified CS-based injectable bone cement (CSmod) reinforced with a conductive nanocomposite and functionalized with vancomycin. The cement exhibits favorable injectability, setting times, and improved mechanical properties, as well as antimicrobial and osteoinductive properties. The ability of CSmod to recruit endothelial cells and enhance bone regeneration is demonstrated in rat models.

Biomimetic hydrogels designed for cartilage tissue engineering

Kresanti D. Ngadimin et al.

Summary: Cartilage regeneration and repair present a clinical challenge due to limited self-regenerative capability, with costs estimated at around 30,000 pounds per patient for producing and supplying cells. Regenerative approaches include cell therapies and tissue engineering using hydrogels as 3D substrates for cartilage cell cultivation, but current biomimetic hydrogels with necessary biological and physicochemical properties have yet to succeed.
