Abstract
A vast number of manufacturing techniques have been employed in the last five years to manufacture three dimensional (3D) calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds, with the intention to replicate the architecture of native bone as well as to repair and restore bone function. Design features such as architectural control and sintering temperature and their impact on scaffold performance is presented in this review. In vitro cell responses to bioceramic scaffolds and their in vivo performances have been enhanced. Current frontiers of active research on HA scaffolds have included the relationship between fluid flow and mechanotransduction as well as cell signaling pathways that induce endothelial cell recruitment and angiogenesis. Additionally, current research has focused on a better understanding of cell signaling and its environmental cues. The availability of non-invasive and non-destructive quantitative imaging modalities has also become critical in aiding the characterization of scaffolds and predicting scaffold performance. It is thus anticipated that further knowledge gained from this research will allow the overall advancement of scaffolds that can be clinically used to restore large bone defects.

AlphaFold in Medicinal Chemistry: Opportunities and Challenges
AlphaFold, a groundbreaking AI tool for protein structure prediction, is revolutionizing drug discovery. Its near-atomic accuracy unlocks new avenues for designing targeted drugs and performing efficient virtual screening. However, AlphaFold's static predictions lack the dynamic nature of proteins, crucial for understanding drug action. This is especially true for multi-domain proteins, ...read more
Artificial intelligence for Natural Products Discovery and Development
Our approach involves using computational methods to predict the potential therapeutic benefits of natural products by considering factors such as drug structure, targets, and interactions. We also employ multitarget analysis to understand the role of drug targets in disease pathways. We advocate for the use of artificial intelligence in predicting ...read more
