Magnesium cationic cue enriched interfacial tissue microenvironment nurtures the osseointegration of gamma-irradiated allograft bone

Regardless of the advancement of synthetic bone substitutes,allograft-derived bone substitutes still dominate in the orthopaedic circle in the treatments of bone diseases.Nevertheless,the stringent devitalization process jeopardizes their osseointegration with host bone and therefore prone to long-term failure.Hence,improving osseointegration and transplantation efficiency remains important.The alteration of bone tissue microenvironment(TME)to facilitate osseointegration has been generally recognized.However,the concept of exerting metal ionic cue in bone TME without compromising the mechanical properties of bone allograft is challenging.To address this concern,an interfacial tissue microenvironment with magnesium cationc cue was tailored onto the gamma-irradiated allograft bone using a customized magnesium-plasma surface treatment.The formation of the Mg cationic cue enriched interfacial tissue microenvironment on allograft bone was verified by the scanning ion-selective electrode technique.The cellular activities of human TERT-immortalized mesenchymal stem cells on the Mg-enriched grafts were notably upregulated.In the animal test,superior osseointegration between Mg-enriched graft and host bone was found,whereas poor integration was observed in the gamma-irradiated controls at 28 days post-operation.Furthermore,the bony in-growth appeared on magnesium-enriched allograft bone was significant higher.The mechanism possibly correlates to the up-regulation of integrin receptors in mesenchymal stem cells under modified bone TME that directly orchestrate the initial cell attachment and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.Lastly,our findings demonstrate the significance of magnesium cation modified bone allograft that can potentially translate to various orthopaedic procedures requiring bone augmentation.

Non-invasive Healthcare Analytical Platform Based on Organic Electrochemical Transistors

Non-invasive bioelectronics,especially organic electrochemical transistors(OECTs),have drawn extensive attentions of academical and medical communities by virtue of their efficient bio-electronic interfacing,water-involved ionic transport,excellent ionic-electronic coupling,ultralow power consumption,wide detectable range,and outstanding detection sensitivity.Designable structure diversity,low-temperature solution processability,facile bio/chemical functionalization,and excellent biocompatibility of organic mixed ionic-electronic conductors(OMIECs)render OECTs particularly suitable for non-invasive or minimally invasive healthcare analytical platform.Here,we comprehensively review recent advances of the non-invasive analytical healthcare applications based on OECTs,especially on the detection of biomarkers or metabolites in the excretory biofluids,as well as the recording of electrophysiological signals.A brief introduction of OECT and its comparison with other organic thin-film transistors upon device configuration and working mechanism are firstly discussed.State-of-the-art non-invasive OECT-based biosensors are summarized on their detection of ionic and molecular biomarkers,following with circuit design strategies of OECTs for real-time and in-situ electrophysiological recording from skin surface.In conclusion,remaining barriers and future challenges of non-invasive OECT-based bioelectronics towards lower detection limit,more accurate quantitative relationship between analyte concentrations and measured parameters,more intimate device-tissue interface,and long-term operation stability are deeply analyzed with a critical outlook.
