Bone trauma presents a complex clinical challenge requiring simultaneous management of inflammation, infection risk, and impaired regeneration. Conventional therapies often address these issues separately, highlighting the need for multifunctional agents capable integrated therapeutic action. Limonene, natural monoterpene, has demonstrated broad-spectrum bioactivity, but its potential in bone therapy remains underexplored. This study evaluates limonene's triple properties: (1) Antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus; (2) Anti-inflammatory effects on RAW 264.7 macrophages under lipopolysaccharide stimulation; (3) Osteogenic MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts by assessing proliferation osteogenic gene expression. Limonene concentration-dependent antibacterial efficacy, with significant growth inhibition observed both Gram-positive Gram-negative pathogens. Meanwhile, limonene exhibited potent anti-inflammatory activity macrophages, as evidenced dose-dependent suppression key pro-inflammatory mediators, including interleukin-1β inducible nitric oxide synthase. Notably, osteoblasts, significantly upregulated expression collagen alpha1 enhanced osteocalcin production at optimal concentrations, suggesting dual role mitigating inflammation while promoting differentiation. Collectively, findings highlight candidate repair, meriting further investigation through vivo studies to validate translational potential.

This study presents a hybrid hydrogel system designed for the targeted delivery of letrozole, key therapeutic agent in breast cancer treatment. Letrozole-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microparticles were embedded within poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) matrix coated onto acrylamide-grafted low-density polyethylene (AAm-g-LDPE), yielding mechanically stable with tunable drug release. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and confocal confirmed uniform microparticle distribution. In vitro release studies simulated uterine fluid (SUF) at 37 °C demonstrated sustained profile over 32 days, reduced initial burst effect (~15% lower than conventional PLGA systems). The system’s kinetics followed Higuchi model (R2 = 0.803–0.996), indicating Fickian diffusion. offers enhanced stability, dosing frequency, potential personalized hormone therapy, improving patient compliance, particularly individuals physical or cognitive impairments.

In recent years, hydrogel beads and in situ hydrogels have gained wide attention various fields such as biomedicine. this study, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (HP) was introduced into the side chain of poly(α,β-[N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-D,L-aspartamide]) (PHEA) to synthesize phenolic hydroxyl-functionalized poly(aspartamide) derivative PHEA-HP with enzyme-catalyzed cross-linking potential. First, chemical structure characterized by FT-IR, UV 1H NMR, results vitro cytotoxicity against L929 cell line hemolysis experiment showed that did not toxicity cells (viability > 90%) had good blood compatibility. Then, rheological measurement confirmed formation PHEA-HP-based a high storage modulus (G') around 104 Pa, vial-tilting method revealed gelation time aqueous solution could be tuned range 5-260 s varying concentrations hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Finally, different diameters containing methylene blue (for easy observation) were prepared using coaxial needle syringe pumps, effect flow rate outer phase on also investigated. Therefore, may promising safe can used prepare for applications closely related human body.

Abstract Bone defects caused by trauma, infection, or tumors pose significant clinical challenges, particularly in large with poor healing outcomes. Traditional repair methods often fail to address the complex regenerative microenvironment. This study introduces a novel biomimetic piezoelectric periosteum‐bone bilayer implant designed remodel osteogenic microenvironment and enhance bone defect repair. The comprises an upper electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride‐curcumin‐loaded magnesium metal–organic framework (PVDF‐MOF/Cur, PMC) periosteum scaffold lower hydroxyapatite@gelatin methacrylate (HA@GelMA) (PMC+HA@GelMA, PMCG). In whole PMCG implant, PMC improves properties of PVDF enables sustained drug release via Mg‐MOF loaded Cur. Meanwhile, HA@GelMA facilitates marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation regeneration. Additionally, further accelerates promoting neuronal differentiation, as well enhancing angiogenesis regulating macrophage polarization. Transcriptome sequencing reveals that activates key signaling pathways associated angiogenesis, neurogenesis, inflammation regulation, osteogenesis, including HIF‐1α, PI3K‐Akt, JAK‐STAT, TGF‐β pathways. Thus, this work highlights multifunctional capabilities remodify accelerate repair, which offers promising platform for advancing tissue

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a blood product with higher platelet concentrations than whole blood, offering controlled delivery of growth factors (GFs) for regenerative medicine. PRP plays pivotal roles in tissue restoration mechanisms, including angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation, and extracellular matrix development, making it applicable across various medicine treatments. Despite promising results different injuries, challenges such as short half-life rapid deactivation by proteases persist. To address these challenges, biomaterial-based scaffolds, sponges or hydrogels, have been investigated. Current studies exhibit that PRP-loaded scaffolds fix issues due to the sustained release GFs. In this regard, given widespread application clinical studies, use has drawn significant consideration engineering (TE). Therefore, review briefly introduces rich origin GFs, its classification, preparation methods discusses applications This study also emphasizes reviews latest research on using diverse fields TE, skin, bone, cartilage repair.
