Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Regenerative Medicine
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Critically sized bone defects require advanced tissue engineering for restoration.
  • Current preclinical models often overlook systemic comorbidities, leading to overestimated efficacy.
  • Translating bone regeneration therapies to clinical practice is hindered by inadequate disease modeling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review in vivo bone regeneration strategies for critically sized defects in compromised healing environments.
  • To summarize the development of animal models and tailored biomaterial, cellular, and drug delivery platforms for disease states.
  • To highlight bioengineered solutions addressing pathological barriers like inflammation, oxidative stress, and poor vascularization.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of bone regeneration strategies in compromised healing environments.
  • Analysis of animal models used to replicate comorbidities like diabetes, irradiation, osteonecrosis, and osteoporosis.
  • Examination of bioengineered solutions including nanoengineered drug delivery, bioactive scaffolds, immunomodulatory materials, cell therapies, and extracellular vesicles.

Main Results:

  • Bioengineered solutions address inflammation, oxidative stress, poor vascularization, and hypocellularity.
  • Strategies include nanoengineered drug delivery, ion-releasing scaffolds, antioxidant biomaterials, advanced cell provisioning, and extracellular vesicle therapies.
  • These approaches aim to restore redox balance, promote angiogenesis, and reestablish osteogenesis.

Conclusions:

  • Significant challenges remain, including model standardization, multimorbidity representation, and regulatory hurdles.
  • Future research requires refined disease-relevant models and multifunctional constructs for improved clinical translation.
  • Developing context-responsive therapies is crucial for predicting and enhancing the success of bone tissue engineering.
