Bone scaffold

Antioxidants

Outcome

Refs.

Salicin-laden PCL

Salicin

The scaffold exhibited potent free radical scavenging activity, promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and accelerated rats' femoral defect repair

[78]

Titanium rods with procyanidin/mucin coating

Procyanidin

The surface coating of the implant effectively alleviated the oxidative stress induced by H2O2 in BMSCs and promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs by activating Wnt/β-Catenin signaling pathway, which ultimately accelerated in vivo osteogenesis

[79]

OD-MHA/Mg

OD

OD-MHA slowed down the degradation of Mg scaffolds and avoided oxidative stress and MC3T3-E1 cells apoptosis induced by large amounts of magnesium ions. In addition, OD-MHA/Mg effectively exerted antibacterial, pro-angiogenic and reduced osteogenic differentiation effects, accelerating the repair of femoral defects

[80]

Astaxanthin–collagen aerogels

Astaxanthin

Aerogels alleviated oxidative stress in BMSCs by activating the NRF2/HO-1 signaling pathway and promoted bone regeneration in rats

[81]

Silibinin-modified hydroxyapatite-coated titanium rods

Silibinin

Silibinin-modified hydroxyapatite-coating activated the SIRT1/SOD2 signaling pathway to alleviate high glucose-induced oxidative stress in MC3T3-E1 cells, promoted the osteogenic differentiation function of MC3T3-E1 cells under high glucose treatment, and accelerated the osseointegration of titanium rods in diabetic rats

[82]

Metal–polyphenolic network-coated scaffolds(PCL, PLA or PEEK)

Catechol

Metal–polyphenolic networks effectively alleviated H2O2-induced oxidative stress in MC3T3-E1 cells, promoted calcium nodule formation, and accelerated the repair of cranial defects in rats

[83]

Gelatin–alginate-nCeO2 hydrogel

CeO2

Hydrogel scaffolds with SOD and CAT-like activities promoted MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation, and facilitated femoral defect repair in rats

[18]

TPG@ChSMA

TPG

The TPG released from the hydrogel scaffold activated the SIRT1/PI3K/AKT pathway to mediate the clearance of ROS, alleviating the senescence of BMSCs, and promoted the repair of bone defects in aged osteoporotic rats

[84]

MON(CuMn)-Q-J hydrogel

MON(CuMn)-Q

MON(CuMn)-Q possessed sonodynamic antibacterial effects and mediated antioxidant actions through SOD and CAT-like activities as well as quercetin–metal chelation, effectively exerting anti-inflammatory, pro-angiogenic, and bone repair functions

[85]
