Implantable Multifunctional Micro‐Oxygen Reservoir System for Promoting Vascular‐Osteogenesis via Remodeling Regenerative Microenvironment by Min Rui, Jiannan Mao, Hongshuai Wu, Yujian Hui, Hao Shen, Yilin Yang, Tao Ma, Kewei Ren, Juan Wang, Wenguo Cui, Qin Shi, Huilin Yang

“…As a multifaceted microenvironment regulator, CSP‐GM remodeled the regenerative microenvironment by synergistically producing oxygen and scavenging ROS, recovering mitochondrial homeostasis and antioxidant defenses of BMSCs, promoting angiogenesis and osteogenesis under hypoxia conditions via precisely modulating the Nrf2/HO‐1 signaling pathway. The multiple pro‐regenerative effects of the implantable functionalized micro‐oxygen reservoir on bone repair are further corroborated by the enhanced vascularized bone formation in rat femoral defects, presenting a comprehensive and promising strategy for tissue repair.…”
