Abstract
AbstractBlood vessels and nerve fibers are distributed throughout the skeletal tissue, which enhance the development and function of each other and have an irreplaceable role in bone formation and remodeling. Despite significant progress in bone tissue engineering, the inadequacy of nerve‐vascular network reconstruction remains a major limitation. This is partly due to the difficulty of integrating and regulating multiple tissue types with artificial materials. Thus, understanding the anatomy and underlying coupling mechanisms of blood vessels and nerve fibers within bone to further develop neuro‐vascularized bone implant biomaterials is an extremely critical aspect in the field of bone regeneration. Hydrogels have good biocompatibility, controllable mechanical characteristics, and osteoconductive and osteoinductive properties, making them important candidates for research related to neuro‐vascularized bone regeneration. This review reports the classification and physicochemical properties of hydrogels, with a focus on the application advantages and status of hydrogels for bone regeneration. The authors also highlight the effect of neurovascular coupling on bone repair and regeneration and the necessity of achieving neuro‐vascularized bone regeneration. Finally, the recent progress and design strategies of hydrogel‐based biomaterials for neuro‐vascularized bone regeneration are discussed.
