Three-Dimensional Printed BGS Treat a Large Bone Defect in a Rabbit Model.

This study aimed to evaluate if the 3D printed bioactive glass porous scaffolds (BGS) can improve the reconstruction of the large bone defect. A rabbit model of large bone defects was established by making a 1.0 or 1.5 cm segmental defect in the middle of the femur bone. Then a 1.0 or 1.5 cm BGS was implanted into the bone defect. X-ray imaging showed that in both 1.0 and 1.5 cm groups, the newly formed bone tissue could be observed at 4 weeks after implantation, but a strengthened ossification trend could be observed at different time points. In the 1.0 cm group, a larger number of newly formed bone tissues were observed at 4 weeks, and in the 1.5 group, more newly formed bone tissues were found at 8 weeks. Nevertheless, ossified tissue generation on the BGS mainly completed at 12 weeks after implantation in both groups. The H&E staining revealed that the 3D BGS was easily degraded to form osteoid-like material in vivo, where the neo-ossification gradually occurred from the edge to the center. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that in the 1.0 group, protein expressions of three osteogenesis-related genes- BMP, collagen I and RUNX-2-all peaked at 8 weeks, and then gradually decreased at 12 and 18 weeks. In the 1.5 group, BMP and collagen I peaked at 18 weeks.

Sr-Incorporated Bioactive Glass Remodels the Immunological Microenvironment by Enhancing the Mitochondrial Function of Macrophage via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway.

The repair of critical-sized bone defects continues to pose a challenge in clinics. Strontium (Sr), recognized for its function in bone metabolism regulation, has shown potential in bone repair. However, the underlying mechanism through which Sr2+ guided favorable osteogenesis by modulating macrophages remains unclear, limiting their application in the design of bone biomaterials. Herein, Sr-incorporated bioactive glass (SrBG) was synthesized for further investigation. The release of Sr ions enhanced the immunomodulatory properties and osteogenic potential by modulating the polarization of macrophages toward the M2 phenotype. In vivo, a 3D-printed SrBG scaffold was fabricated and showed consistently improved bone regeneration by creating a prohealing immunological microenvironment. RNA sequencing was performed to explore the underlying mechanisms. It was found that Sr ions might enhance the mitochondrial function of macrophage by activating PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, thereby favoring osteogenesis. Our findings demonstrate the relationship between the immunomodulatory role of Sr ions and the mitochondrial function of macrophages. By focusing on the mitochondrial function of macrophages, Sr2+-mediated immunomodulation sheds light on the future design of biomaterials for tissue regenerative engineering.

Nanomaterials Regulate Bacterial Quorum Sensing: Applications, Mechanisms, and Optimization Strategies.

Anti-virulence therapy that interferes with bacterial communication, known as "quorum sensing (QS)", is a promising strategy for circumventing bacterial resistance. Using nanomaterials to regulate bacterial QS in anti-virulence therapy has attracted much attention, which is mainly attributed to unique physicochemical properties and excellent designability of nanomaterials. However, bacterial QS is a dynamic and multistep process, and there are significant differences in the specific regulatory mechanisms and related influencing factors of nanomaterials in different steps of the QS process. An in-depth understanding of the specific regulatory mechanisms and related influencing factors of nanomaterials in each step can significantly optimize QS regulatory activity and enhance the development of novel nanomaterials with better comprehensive performance. Therefore, this review focuses on the mechanisms by which nanomaterials regulate bacterial QS in the signal supply (including signal synthesis, secretion, and accumulation) and signal transduction cascade (including signal perception and response) processes. Moreover, based on the two key influencing factors (i.e., the nanomaterial itself and the environment), optimization strategies to enhance the QS regulatory activity are comprehensively summarized. Collectively, applying nanomaterials to regulate bacterial QS is a promising strategy for anti-virulence therapy. This review provides reference and inspiration for further research on the anti-virulence application of nanomaterials.

A bioactive glass functional hydrogel enhances bone augmentation via synergistic angiogenesis, self-swelling and osteogenesis.

Bone augmentation materials usually cannot provide enough new bone for dental implants due to the material degradation and mucosal pressure. The use of hydrogels with self-swelling properties may provide a higher bone augmentation, although swelling is generally considered to be a disadvantage in tissue engineering. Herein, a double-crosslinked gelatin-hyaluronic acid hydrogels (GH) with self-swelling properties were utilized. Meanwhile, niobium doped bioactive glasses (NbBG) was dispersed in the hydrogel network to prepare the GH-NbBG hydrogel. The composite hydrogel exhibited excellent biocompatibility and the addition of NbBG significantly improved the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. In vivo results found that GH-NbBG synergistically promoted angiogenesis and increased bone augmentation by self-swelling at the early stage of implantation. In addition, at the late stage after implantation, GH-NbBG significantly promoted new bone formation by activating RUNX2/Bglap signaling pathway. Therefore, this study reverses the self-swelling disadvantage of hydrogels into advantage and provides novel ideas for the application of hydrogels in bone augmentation.

Mussel-inspired cortical bone-adherent bioactive composite hydrogels promote bone augmentation through sequential regulation of endochondral ossification.

Endochondral ossification (ECO) plays an integral part in bone augmentation, which undergoes sequential processes including mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) condensation, chondrocyte differentiation, chondrocyte hypertrophy, and mineralized bone formation. Thus, accelerating these steps will speed up the osteogenesis process through ECO. Herein, inspired by the marine mussels' adhesive mechanism, a bioactive glass-dopamine (BG-Dopa) hydrogel was prepared by distributing the micro-nano BG to aldehyde modified hyaluronic acid with dopamine-modified gelatin. By in vitro and in vivo experiments, we confirm that after implanting in the bone augmentation position, the hydrogel can adhere to the cortical bone surface firmly without sliding. Moreover, the condensation and hypertrophy of stem cells were accelerated at the early stage of ECO. Whereafter, the osteogenic differentiation of the hypertrophic chondrocytes was promoted, which lead to accelerating the late stage of ECO process to achieve more bone augmentation. This experiment provides a new idea for the design of bone augmentation materials.

Biomimetic Hydrogels as the Inductive Endochondral Ossification Template for Promoting Bone Regeneration.

Repairing critical size bone defects (CSBD) is a major clinical challenge and requires effective intervention by biomaterial scaffolds. Inspired by the fact that the cartilaginous template-based endochondral ossification (ECO) process is crucial to bone healing and development, developing biomimetic biomaterials to promote ECO is recognized as a promising approach for repairing CSBD. With the unique highly hydrated 3D polymeric network, hydrogels can be designed to closely emulate the physiochemical properties of cartilage matrix to facilitate ECO. In this review, the various preparation methods of hydrogels possessing the specific physiochemical properties required for promoting ECO are introduced. The materiobiological impacts of the physicochemical properties of hydrogels, such as mechanical properties, topographical structures and chemical compositions on ECO, and the associated molecular mechanisms related to the BMP, Wnt, TGF-ß, HIF-1α, FGF, and RhoA signaling pathways are further summarized. This review provides a detailed coverage on the materiobiological insights required for the design and preparation of hydrogel-based biomaterials to facilitate bone regeneration.

Recent advances in the application and biological mechanism of silicon nitride osteogenic properties: a review.

Silicon nitride, an emerging bioceramic material, is highly sought after in the biomedical industry due to its osteogenesis-promoting properties, which are a result of its unique surface chemistry and excellent mechanical properties. Currently, it is used in clinics as an orthopedic implant material. The osteogenesis-promoting properties of silicon nitride are manifested in its contribution to the formation of a local osteogenic microenvironment, wherein silicon nitride and its hydrolysis products influence osteogenesis by modulating the biological behaviors of the constituents of the osteogenic microenvironment. In particular, silicon nitride regulates redox signaling, cellular autophagy, glycolysis, and bone mineralization in cells involved in bone formation via several mechanisms. Moreover, it may also promote osteogenesis by influencing immune regulation and angiogenesis. In addition, the wettability, surface morphology, and charge of silicon nitride play crucial roles in regulating its osteogenesis-promoting properties. However, as a bioceramic material, the molding process of silicon nitride needs to be optimized, and its osteogenic mechanism must be further investigated. Herein, we summarize the impact of the molding process of silicon nitride on its osteogenic properties and clinical applications. In addition, the mechanisms of silicon nitride in promoting osteogenesis are discussed, followed by a summary of the current gaps in silicon nitride mechanism research. This review, therefore, aims to provide novel ideas for the future development and applications of silicon nitride.

PBAT/PLA humic acid biodegradable film applied on solar greenhouse tomato plants increased lycopene and decreased total acid contents.

This work aims to resolve residual film pollution in farmlands and improve tomato quality. The mechanical properties and degradation of PBAT/PLA lignin (MZS) and PBAT/PLA humic acid (FZS) composite biodegradable film were analyzed, and its effect on soil temperature and humidity, soil microorganisms, soil physical and chemical properties, tomato yield, and quality was studied. Polyethylene film (PE) was used as a control. The results demonstrate a higher degradation degree of FZS film than of MZS film. The degradation degree of FZS and MZS films reached level 2 and level 1, respectively, after 131 days of film covering. The weight loss rate of FZS and MZS films reached 52.74 % and 57.82 %, respectively, when buried for 160 days. Compared to the coverings of PE and MZS films, FZS film could significantly increase the soil's electric conductivity and organic matter content (p < 0.05). The relative abundance of soil fungi Chaetomium also increased. The yield, soluble solids, vitamin C (Vc), soluble sugar, and lycopene of tomato plants covered with FZS film significantly increased by 6.74 %, 8.75 %, 15.41 %, 8.30 %, and 27.27 % compared to plants covered with PE film, and the total acid and hardness significantly decreased by 24.95 % and 8.46 %, respectively (p < 0.05). Using 10 µm PBAT/PLA humic acid biodegradable film for tomato cultivation in autumn and winter increased the lycopene and decreased the total acid content by changing the soil's physical and chemical characteristics and increasing the content of Chaetomium soil.

Graphene-Based Material-Mediated Immunomodulation in Tissue Engineering and Regeneration: Mechanism and Significance.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine hold promise for improving or even restoring the function of damaged organs. Graphene-based materials (GBMs) have become a key player in biomaterials applied to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. A series of cellular and molecular events, which affect the outcome of tissue regeneration, occur after GBMs are implanted into the body. The immunomodulatory function of GBMs is considered to be a key factor influencing tissue regeneration. This review introduces the applications of GBMs in bone, neural, skin, and cardiovascular tissue engineering, emphasizing that the immunomodulatory functions of GBMs significantly improve tissue regeneration. This review focuses on summarizing and discussing the mechanisms by which GBMs mediate the sequential regulation of the innate immune cell inflammatory response. During the process of tissue healing, multiple immune responses, such as the inflammatory response, foreign body reaction, tissue fibrosis, and biodegradation of GBMs, are interrelated and influential. We discuss the regulation of these immune responses by GBMs, as well as the immune cells and related immunomodulatory mechanisms involved. Finally, we summarize the limitations in the immunomodulatory strategies of GBMs and ideas for optimizing GBM applications in tissue engineering. This review demonstrates the significance and related mechanism of the immunomodulatory function of GBM application in tissue engineering; more importantly, it contributes insights into the design of GBMs to enhance wound healing and tissue regeneration in tissue engineering.

Local delivery of naringin in beta-cyclodextrin modified mesoporous bioactive glass promotes bone regeneration: from anti-inflammatory to synergistic osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis.

The bone immune response dominated by macrophages plays an indispensable role in the osteogenesis of bone defects. Moreover, moderate polarization of macrophages against inflammatory M2 has been proved to promote osteogenesis. Therefore, the addition of anti-inflammatory agents to bioactive bone repair materials facilitates efficient bone regeneration by regulating the polarization of macrophages. Bioactive glass (BG) has been widely used for bone defect repair. However, BG alone cannot effectively inhibit the inflammatory response caused by in vivo biomaterial implantation, and finally cannot achieve satisfactory bone repair effect. Herein, the design of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (MBG) modified with ß-cyclodextrin (CD-MBG) is reported. Our research shows that the anti-inflammatory drug naringin (NG) is loaded into CD-MBG (NG@CD-MBG), which achieves a sustained release within 6 days. In vitro studies reveal that NG@CD-MBG promotes better transformation of macrophages to the M2 phenotype than MBG inhibiting macrophage inflammatory responses, while the induced local immune microenvironment synergistically facilitates osteogenesis and inhibits osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, in vivo high expression of osteogenesis-related genes in the microenvironment stimulated by NG@CD-MBG significantly promotes new bone formation in the femoral defect model of rats. The results indicate that the combination of MBG and NG has a synergistic effect on immunomodulating osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis, providing a novel idea for the development of bone biomaterials with favorable bone immunomodulatory properties.

Easily attainable and low immunogenic stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth enhanced the in vivo bone regeneration ability of gelatin/bioactive glass microsphere composite scaffolds.

Repair of critical-size bone defects remains a considerable challenge in the clinic. The most critical cause for incomplete healing is that osteoprogenitors cannot migrate to the central portion of the defects. Herein, stem cells from exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) with the properties of easy attainability and low immunogenicity were loaded into gelatin/bioactive glass (GEL/BGM) scaffolds to construct GEL/BGM + SHED engineering scaffolds. An in vitro study showed that BGM could augment the osteogenic differentiation of SHED by activating the AMPK signaling cascade, as confirmed by the elevated expression of osteogenic-related genes, and enhanced ALP activity and mineralization formation in SHED. After implantation in the critical bone defect model, GEL/BGM + SHED scaffolds exhibited low immunogenicity and significantly enhanced new bone formation in the center of the defect. These results indicated that GEL/BGM + SHED scaffolds present a new promising strategy for critical-size bone healing.

Bioactive glass nanoparticles inhibit osteoclast differentiation and osteoporotic bone loss by activating lncRNA NRON expression in the extracellular vesicles derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGN) have attracted increasing attention for their use in bone tissue repair owing to their special osteogenic activity; however, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we report a new mechanism by which BGN regulate bone loss in an osteoporosis mouse model. We found that BGN induced the expression of extracellular vesicles secreted by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BGN + BMSC-EVs), which can inhibit osteoclast differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, our results showed that BGN + BMSC-EVs were rich in the long non-coding RNA NRON, which can inhibit the nuclear translocation of NFATc1 by binding to the nuclear factor of activated T cells transcription factors, thereby inhibiting osteoclast differentiation. We validated the function and biological safety of BGN + BMSC-EVs in an ovariectomized mouse model of osteoporosis. The results of in vivo studies showed that BGN + BMSC-EVs could alleviate bone loss in osteoporotic mice, restore the mechanical properties of mouse femurs, and improve the biochemical indicators in the peripheral blood for bone metabolism in mice, with little to no acute, systemic toxicity. This study may provide a new explanation for the role of BGN in inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and relieving bone loss; additionally, the study findings reveal a promising strategy for the treatment of bone resorption disorders.

Self-Adhesive Hydrogel Biomimetic Periosteum to Promote Critical-Size Bone Defect Repair via Synergistic Osteogenesis and Angiogenesis.

The periosteum plays an important role in the regeneration of critical-size bone defects, with functions of recruiting multiple cells, accelerating vascular network reconstruction, and guiding bone tissue regeneration. However, these functions cannot be easily implemented by simply simulating the periosteum via a material structure design or by loading exogenous cytokines. Herein, inspired by the periosteal function, we propose a biomimetic periosteum preparation strategy to enhance natural polymer hydrogel membranes using inorganic bioactive materials. The biomimetic periosteum having bone tissue self-adhesive functions and resembling an extracellular matrix was prepared using dopamine-modified gelatin and oxidized hyaluronan (GA/HA), and micro/nanobioactive glass (MNBG) was further incorporated into the hydrogel to fabricate an organic/inorganic co-crosslinked hydrogel membrane (GA/HA-BG). The addition of MNBG enhanced the stability of the natural polymer hydrogel membrane, resulting in a sustained degradation time, biomineralization, and long-term release of ions. The Ca2+ and SiO44- ions released by bioactive glass were shown to recruit cells and promote the differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblasts, initiating multicentric osteogenic behavior. Additionally, the bioactive ions were able to continuously stimulate the endogenous expression of vascular endothelial growth factor from human umbilical vein endothelial cells through the PI3K/Akt/HIF-1α pathway, which accelerated vascularization of the defect area and synergistically promoted the repair of bone defects. This organic-inorganic biomimetic periosteum has been proved to be effective and versatile in critical-size bone defect repair and is expected to provide a promising strategy for solving clinical issues.

IFN-γ/SrBG composite scaffolds promote osteogenesis by sequential regulation of macrophages from M1 to M2.

The macrophage-dominated bone immune response plays an important role in osteogenesis of bone defects. Generally, M2 macrophages are beneficial to promote osteogenesis. However, recent studies have confirmed that M1 also plays an important role in early angiogenesis, osteointegration. Therefore, achieving sequential polarization of macrophages from M1 to M2 may be more beneficial for osteogenesis. In this study, a new type of bone immunomodulatory IFN-γ/Sr-dropped bioactive glass composite scaffold (IFN-γ/SrBG) was successfully prepared which integrates multiple biological functions at different stages of the bone healing process. The scaffold can polarize macrophages into pro-inflammatory M1 type at the early stage of implantation by releasing IFN-γ within the first day, and then polarize macrophages into anti-inflammatory M2 type at a later stage by releasing Sr2+ from SrBG, which promoted mature bone formation in bone defects to a greater extent. Therefore, IFN-γ/SrBG scaffolds are expected to become excellent bone tissue engineering materials by sequential regulation of macrophage polarization.

Bioactive glass promotes the barrier functional behaviors of keratinocytes and improves the Re-epithelialization in wound healing in diabetic rats.

Upon skin injury, re-epithelialization must be triggered promptly to restore the integrity and barrier function of the epidermis. However, this process is often delayed or interrupted in chronic wounds like diabetic foot ulcers. Considering that BG particles can activate multiple genes in various cells, herein, we hypothesized that bioactive glass (BG) might be able to modulate the barrier functional behaviors of keratinocytes. By measuring the transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and the paracellular tracer flux, we found the 58S-BG extracts substantially enhanced the barrier function of keratinocyte monolayers. The BG extracts might exert such effects by promoting the keratinocyte differentiation and the formation of tight junctions, as evidenced by the increased expression of critical differentiation markers (K10 and involucrin) and TJ protein claudin-1, as well as the altered subcellular location of four major TJ proteins (claudin-1, occludin, JAM-A, and ZO-1). Besides, the cell scratch assay showed that BG extracts induced the collective migration of keratinocytes, though they did not accelerate the migration rate compared to the control. The in vivo study using a diabetic rat wound model demonstrated that the BG extracts accelerated the process of re-epithelialization, stimulated keratinocyte differentiation, and promoted the formation of tight junctions in the newly regenerated epidermis. Our findings revealed the crucial effects of BGs on keratinocytes and highlighted its potential application for chronic wound healing by restoring the barrier function of the wounded skin effectively.

Bioactive glass activates VEGF paracrine signaling of cardiomyocytes to promote cardiac angiogenesis.

The heart contains a wide range of cell types, which are not isolated but interact with one another via multifarious paracrine, autocrine and endocrine factors. In terms of cardiac angiogenesis, previous studies have proved that regulating the communication between cardiomyocytes and endothelial cells is efficacious to promote capillary formation. Firstly, this study investigated the effect and underlying mechanism of bioactive glass (BG) acted on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) paracrine signaling in cardiomyocytes. We found that bioactive ions released from BG significantly promoted the VEGF production and secretion of cardiomyocytes. Subsequently, we proved that cardiomyocyte-derived VEGF played an important role in mediating the behavior of endothelial cells. Further research showed that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) signaling pathway was upregulated by BG, which was involved in VEGF expression of cardiomyocytes. This study revealed that by means of modulating cellular crosstalk via paracrine signaling of host cells in heart is a new direction for the application of BGs in cardiac angiogenesis.

Design and evaluation of a novel sub-scaffold dental implant system based on the osteoinduction of micro-nano bioactive glass.

Alveolar ridge atrophy brings great challenges for endosteal implantation due to the lack of adequate vertical bone mass to hold the implants. To overcome this limitation, we developed a novel dental implant design: sub-scaffold dental implant system (SDIS), which is composed of a metal implant and a micro-nano bioactive glass scaffold. This implant system can be directly implanted under mucous membranes without adding any biomolecules or destroying the alveolar ridge. To evaluate the performance of the novel implant system in vivo, SDISs were implanted into the sub-epicranial aponeurosis space of Sprague-Dawley rats. After 6 weeks, the SDIS and surrounding tissues were collected and analysed by micro-CT, scanning electron microscopy and histology. Our results showed that SDISs implanted into the sub-epicranial aponeurosis had integrated with the skull without any mobility and could stably support a denture. Moreover, this design achieved alveolar ridge augmentation, as active osteogenesis could be observed outside the cortical bone. Considering that the microenvironment of the sub-epicranial aponeurosis space is similar to that of the alveolar ridge, SDISs have great potential for clinical applications in the treatment of atrophic alveolar ridges. The study was approved by the Animal Care Committee of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University (approval No. 2017370).

Strontium-substituted sub-micron bioactive glasses inhibit ostoclastogenesis through suppression of RANKL-induced signaling pathway.

Strontium-substituted bioactive glass (Sr-BG) has shown superior performance in bone regeneration. Sr-BG-induced osteogenesis has been extensively studied; however, Sr-BG-mediated osteoclastogenesis and the underlying molecular mechanism remain unclear. It is recognized that the balance of osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis is closely related to bone repair, and the receptor activators of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) signaling pathway plays a key role of in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis. Herein, we studied the potential impact and underling mechanism of strontium-substituted sub-micron bioactive glass (Sr-SBG) on RANKL-induced osteoclast activation and differentiation in vitro. As expected, Sr-SBG inhibited RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis significantly with the experimental performance of decreased mature osteoclasts formation and downregulation of osteoclastogenesis-related gene expression. Furthermore, it was found that Sr-SBG might suppress osteoclastogenesis by the combined effect of strontium and silicon released through inhibition of RANKL-induced activation of p38 and NF-κB pathway. These results elaborated the effect of Sr-SBG-based materials on osteoclastogenesis through RANKL-induced downstream pathway and might represent a significant guidance for designing better bone repair materials.

3D-printed photoluminescent bioactive scaffolds with biomimetic elastomeric surface for enhanced bone tissue engineering.

Three dimensional (3D) printed porous bioactive glass nanoparticles scaffolds (BGNS) exhibit excellent bone integration and bone regeneration capacities, but the early rapid ion release, brittle mechanical properties and lack of functions limit their application. In this work, photoluminescent biomimetic elastomeric BGNS were fabricated by directly assembling poly(citrate-siloxane) (PCS) on the surface of BGNS (BGNS@PCS). The morphologies, mechanical behavior, photoluminescent ability, ions release, biomineralization activity, biocompatibility and osteogenic properties of BGNS@PCS were evaluated in detail. The results indicated that BGNS@PCS presented superior elasticity and outstanding compressive strength compared with BGNS. The controlled release of the Si and Ca ions in BGNS@PCS was achieved and enhanced biomineralization ability was also observed. In addition, the modified scaffolds have the photoluminescent ability which has the potential application for bioimaging. BGNS@PCS could significantly promote cells attachment, proliferation and enhance osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). Therefore, the BGNS@PCS with the multifunctional properties including elastomeric surface, enhanced photoluminescent, controlled ions release and biomineralization, reinforced osteogenic activity, would be a promising candidate for bone tissue regeneration. This study probably provides a novel strategy to design biomimetic elastomeric bioceramic scaffolds for hard tissue regeneration.

Local delivery of FTY720 in mesoporous bioactive glass improves bone regeneration by synergistically immunomodulating osteogenesis and osteoclastogenesis.

The addition of osteoimmunology drugs to bone repair materials is beneficial to bone regeneration by regulating the local immune microenvironment. Fingolimod (FTY720) has been reported to be an osteoimmunology drug that promotes osteogenesis. However, there is no ideal biomaterial for the sustained release of FTY720 in the bone defect areas. In the present work, FTY720 loaded mesoporous bioactive glass (FTY720@MBGs) was successfully prepared based on the mesoporous properties of MBGs and electrostatic attraction. FTY720 achieved a sustained release for 7 days. The in vitro study found that FTY720@MBGs could synergistically promote osteogenesis and inhibit osteoclastogenesis due to their ability to promote macrophages toward the M2 phenotype. The in vivo study confirmed that FTY720@MBGs could significantly improve bone regeneration. This study provides new strategies for designing smart cell-instructive biomaterials that can play a role in all bone healing processes from early inflammation to bone reconstruction.
