Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on the effectiveness of biomaterials integrated with specific microRNAs (miRNAs) for bone fracture repair treatment. We conducted a comprehensive search of the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases, identifying 42 relevant papers up to March 2022. Hydrogel-based scaffolds were the most commonly used, incorporating miRNAs like miR-26a, miR-21, and miR-222, with miR-26a being the most prevalent. The meta-analysis revealed significant benefits of incorporating miRNAs into scaffolds for bone repair, particularly in hydrogel scaffolds. However, some controversies were observed among studies, presenting challenges in selecting appropriate miRNAs for this purpose. The study concludes that incorporating specific miRNAs into bone biomaterials enhances bone regeneration, but further trials comparing different biomaterials and miRNAs are necessary to validate their potential applications for bone tissue regeneration.
