Abstract
Inspired by the bionic mineralization theory, organic-inorganic composites with hydroxyapatite nanorods orderly arranged along collagen fibrils have attracted extensive attention. Planted with an ideal bone scaffold will contribute greatly to the osteogenic microenvironment; however, it remains challenging to develop a biomimetic scaffold with the ability to promote intrafibrillar mineralization and simultaneous regulation of immune microenvironment in situ. To overcome these challenges, a scaffold containing ultra-small particle size calcium phosphate nanocluster (UsCCP) is prepared, which can enhance bone regeneration through the synergetic effect of intrafibrillar mineralization and immunomodulatory. By efficient infiltration into collagen fibrils, the UsCCP released from the scaffold achieves intrafibrillar mineralization. It also promotes the M2-type polarization of macrophages, leading to an immune microenvironment with both osteogenic and angiogenic potential. The results confirm that the UsCCP scaffold has both intrafibrillar mineralization and immunomodulatory effects, making it a promising candidate for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Biominerals are organic-mineral composites formed by living organisms. They are the hardest and toughest tissues in those organisms, are often polycrystalline, and their mesostructure (which includes nano- and microscale crystallite size, shape, arrangement, and orientation) can vary dramatically. Marine biominerals may be aragonite, vaterite, or calcite, all calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) polymorphs, differing in crystal structure. Unexpectedly, diverse CaCO3 biominerals such as coral skeletons and nacre share a similar characteristic: Adjacent crystals are slightly misoriented. This observation is documented quantitatively at the micro- and nanoscales, using polarization-dependent imaging contrast mapping (PIC mapping), and the slight misorientations is consistently between 1° and 40°. Nanoindentation shows that both polycrystalline biominerals and abiotic synthetic spherulites are tougher than single-crystalline geologic aragonite, and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of bicrystals at the molecular scale reveals that aragonite, vaterite, and calcite exhibit toughness maxima when the bicrystals are misoriented by 10°, 20°, and 30°, respectively, demonstrating that slight misorientation alone can increase fracture toughness. Slight-misorientation-toughening can be harnessed for synthesis of bioinspired materials that only require one material, are not limited to specific top-down architecture, and are easily achieved by self-assembly of organic molecules (e.g., aspirin, chocolate), polymers, metals, and ceramics well beyond biominerals.

Biomineralization-inspired mineralized hydrogel promotes the repair and regeneration of dentin/bone hard tissue. NPJ Regen Med 2023; 8:11.

Abstract
Maxillofacial hard tissue defects caused by trauma or infection often affect craniofacial function. Taking the natural hard tissue structure as a template, constructing an engineered tissue repair module is an important scheme to realize the functional regeneration and repair of maxillofacial hard tissue. Here, inspired by the biomineralization process, we constructed a composite mineral matrix hydrogel PAA-CMC-TDM containing amorphous calcium phosphates (ACPs), polyacrylic acid (PAA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and dentin matrix (TDM). The dynamic network composed of Ca2+·COO- coordination and ACPs made the hydrogel loaded with TDM, and exhibited self-repairing ability and injectability. The mechanical properties of PAA-CMC-TDM can be regulated, but the functional activity of TDM remains unaffected. Cytological studies and animal models of hard tissue defects show that the hydrogel can promote the odontogenesis or osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, adapt to irregular hard tissue defects, and promote in situ regeneration of defective tooth and bone tissues. In summary, this paper shows that the injectable TDM hydrogel based on biomimetic mineralization theory can induce hard tissue formation and promote dentin/bone regeneration.

Abstract
The artificial integration of inorganic materials onto polymers to create the analogues of natural biocomposites is an attractive field in materials science. However, due to significant diversity in the interfacial properties of two kinds of materials, advanced synthesis methods are quite complicated and the resultant materials are always vulnerable to external environments, which limits their application scenarios and makes them unsuitable for scalable production. Herein, we report a simple and universal approach to achieve robust and scalable surface mineralization of polymers using a rationally designed triple functional molecular bridge of fluorosilane, 3-[(perfluorohexyl sulfonyl) amino] propyltriethoxy silane (PFSS). In a two-step solution deposition, the fluoroalkyl and siloxane of the PFSS take charge of its adhesion and immobilization onto polymers by hydrophobic interaction and wrapping-like chemical cross-linking, and then the assembly and growth of inorganic nanoclusters for integration are achieved by strong chemical coordination of PFSS sulfonamide. The versatile mineralization of inorganic oxides (e.g., TiO2, SiO2, and Fe2O3) onto chemically inert polymer surfaces was realized very well. The resultant mineralized materials exhibit robust and multiple functionalities for hostile applications, such as hydrophilic membranes for removing oils in strong acidic and alkaline wastewaters, fabrics with advanced anti-bacteria for healthy wearing, and plates with strong mechanical performance for better use. Experimental results and theoretical calculations confirmed the homogenous distribution of the PFSS onto polymers via cross-linking for robust coordination with inorganic oxides. These results demonstrate a skillful enlightenment in the design of high-performance mineralized polymer materials used as membranes, fabrics, and medical devices.

Abstract
The incorporation of charged biomacromolecules is widely found in biomineralization. To investigate the significance of this biological strategy for mineralization control, gelatin-incorporated calcite crystals grown from gelatin hydrogels with different charge concentrations along the gel networks are examined. It is found that the bound charged groups on gelatin networks (amino cations, gelatin-NH3 + and carboxylic anions, gelatin-COO- ) play crucial roles in controlling the single-crystallinity and the crystal morphology. And the charge effects are greatly enhanced by the gel-incorporation because the incorporated gel networks force the bound charged groups on them to attach to crystallization fronts. In contrast, ammonium ions (NH4 + ) and acetate ions (Ac- ) dissolve in the crystallization media do not exhibit the similar charge effects because the balance of attachment/detachment make them more difficult to be incorporated. Employing the revealed charge effects, the calcite crystal composites with different morphologies can be flexibly prepared.

Abstract
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are attractive materials for the green preparation of silica nanoparticles via biomimetic silicification. However, the critical factors affecting the ELP-mediated silicification remain unclear. Herein, the role of tunable amino acid residues of ELPs in silicification was studied using three ELPs (ELPs[V9F-40], ELPs[KV8F-40], and ELPs[K5V4F-40]) and their fusion proteins (ELPs[V9F-40]-SpyCatcher, ELPs[KV8F-40]-SpyCatcher, and ELPs[K5V4F-40]-SpyCatcher) with different contents of lysine residues. Bioinformatics methods were employed for the first time to reveal the key physicochemical parameters correlated with silicification. The specific activity of ELPs was increased with the promotion of lysine content with a high correlation coefficient (R = 0.899). Furthermore, exogenous acidic protein SpyCatcher would hinder the interactions between the silica precursors and ELPs, leading to the significantly decrease in specific activity. The isoelectric point (pI) of ELPs presented the highest correlation to silicification with a coefficient of 0.963. The charges of the ELPs [K5V4F-40] at different pH were calculated based on the sequence or structure. Interestingly, the excellent correlation between charges based on structure and specific activity was obtained. Collectively, the novel methods developed here may pave a new way for rational design of ELPs or other peptides for efficient and green preparation of silica nanomaterials for biomedicine, biocatalysis, and biosensor.

Abstract
A critical-sized bone defect, which cannot be repaired through self-healing, is a major challenge in clinical therapeutics. The combination of biomimetic hydrogels and nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HAP) is a promising way to solve this problem by constructing an osteogenic microenvironment. However, it is challenging to generate nano-HAP with a similar morphology and structure to that of natural bone, which limits the improvement of bone regeneration hydrogels. Inspired by our previous works on organic-inorganic cocross-linking, here, we built a strong organic-inorganic interaction by cross-linking periosteum-decellularized extracellular matrix and calcium phosphate oligomers, which ensured the in situ mineralization of bone-like nano-HAP in hydrogels. The resulting biomimetic osteogenic hydrogel (BOH) promotes bone mineralization, construction of immune microenvironment, and angiogenesis improvement in vitro. The BOH exhibited acceleration of osteogenesis in vivo, achieving large-sized bone defect regeneration and remodeling within 8 weeks, which is superior to many previously reported hydrogels. This study demonstrates the important role of bone-like nano-HAP in osteogenesis, which deepens the understanding of the design of biomaterials for hard tissue repair. The in situ mineralization of bone-like nano-HAP emphasizes the advantages of inorganic ionic oligomers in the construction of organic-inorganic interaction, which provides an alternative method for the preparation of advanced biomimetic materials.

Abstract
Dentin hypersensitivity (DH) treatment is far from being unequivocal in providing a superior strategy that combines immediate and long-term efficiency of dentinal tubule (DT) occlusion and clinical applicability. In order to achieve this aim, a type of multifunctional yolk-shell nanocomposite with acid resistance, mechanical resistance and biomineralization properties was developed in this study, which consists of a silica/mesoporous titanium-zirconium nanocarrier (STZ) and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) liquid precursor. First, the nanocomposite, named as PSTZ, immediately occluded DTs and demonstrated outstanding acid and mechanical resistance. Second, the PSTZ nanocomposite induced intrafibrillar mineralization of single-layer collagen fibrils and remineralization of demineralized dentin matrix. Finally, PSTZ promoted the odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells by releasing ACP and silicon ions. The reconstruction of the dentin-mimicking hierarchical structure and the introduction of newly formed minerals in the upper, middle and lower segments of DTs, defined as sandwich-like structures, markedly reduced the permeability and achieved superior long-term sealing effects. The nanocomposite material based on mesoporous yolk-shell carriers and liquid-phase mineralized precursors developed in this study represents a versatile biomimetic sandwich desensitization strategy and offers fresh insight into the clinical management of DH.

Abstract
The adhesiveness of hydrogels is urgently required in various biomedical applications such as medical patches, tissue sealants, and flexible electronic devices. However, biological tissues are often wet, soft, movable, and easily damaged. These features pose difficulties for the construction of adhesive hydrogels for medical use. In nature, organisms adhere to unique strategies, such as reversible sucker adhesion in octopuses and nontoxic and firm catechol chemistry in mussels, which provide many inspirations for medical hydrogels to overcome the above challenges. In this review, we systematically classify bioadhesion strategies into structure-related and molecular-related ones, which cover almost all known bioadhesion paradigms. We outline the principles of these strategies and summarize the corresponding designs of medical adhesive hydrogels inspired by them. Finally, conclusions and perspectives concerning the development of this field are provided. For the booming bio-inspired adhesive hydrogels, this review aims to summarize and analyze the various existing theories and provide systematic guidance for future research from an innovative perspective.

Abstract
The organic-inorganic structure in biological hard tissues ensures their marvelous characteristics but these hybrids are easily destroyed by the demineralization of inorganic components, e.g., the damage of dentin. Current clinical materials for hard tissue regeneration commonly act as "fillers" and their therapeutic effect is limited by the failures of biological-linked organic-inorganic interface reconstruction. Herein, a fast in situ crosslinking of calcium phosphate oligomers (CPOs) on collagen matrixes for efficient organic-inorganic interface re-construction, which can result in a biomimetic hybrid, is demonstrated. By using damaged dentin as an example, the inorganic ionic crosslinking can instantly infiltrate into the dentin matrix to rebuild a dense and continuous calcium phosphate-collagen hybrid within only 5 min, where the structurally integrated organic-inorganic interface is identical to natural dentin. As a result, the damaged dentin can be fully recovered to a healthy one, which is superior to any current dentin treatments. The fast construction of biomimetic hybrid by inorganic ionic crosslinking provides a promising strategy for hard tissue repair and follows great potentials of CPOs as advanced biomedical materials in future.

Abstract
Biomineral materials such as nacre of shells exhibit high mechanical strength and toughness on account of their unique "brick-mortar" multilayer structure. 2-Ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) derivatives with different types of end groups, due to the self-complementary quadruple hydrogen bonds and abundant Ca2+ binding sites, can easily self-assemble into supramolecular aggregates and act as templates and skeleton in the process of inducing mineral crystallization. In this work, UPy derivatives were used as templates to induce the mineralization and growth of CaCO3 through a CO2 diffusion method. The morphology of CaCO3 crystals was modulated and analyzed by adjusting the synthesizing parameters including Ca2+ concentration, pH, and end groups. The results showed that, by the regulatory role of the mineralization template, it was easier to realize the multilayer crystal structure at a lower concentration of Ca2+ (less than 0.01 mol L-1). Under alkaline regulation, the quadruple hydrogen bonds would be destroyed, and the template's regulation effect on the morphology of CaCO3 crystals would be weakened. Moreover, by comparing different types of end groups, it was proven that the UPy derivatives with carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) played a crucial role in the process of CaCO3 crystallization with unique morphologies.

Abstract
Mineral-based bulk structural materials (MBSMs) are known for their long history and extensive range of usage. The inherent brittleness of minerals poses a major problem to the performance of MBSMs. To overcome this problem, design principles have been extracted from natural biominerals, in which the extraordinary mechanical performance is achieved via the hierarchical organization of minerals and organics. Nevertheless, precise and efficient fabrication of MBSMs with bioinspired hierarchical structures under mild conditions has long been a big challenge. This Perspective provides a panoramic view of an emerging fabrication strategy, matrix-directed mineralization, which imitates the in vivo growth of some biominerals. The advantages of the strategy are revealed by comparatively analyzing the conventional fabrication techniques of artificial hierarchically structured MBSMs and the biomineral growth processes. By introducing recent advances, we demonstrate that this strategy can be used to fabricate artificial MBSMs with hierarchical structures. Particular attention is paid to the mass transport and the precursors that are involved in the mineralization process. We hope this Perspective can provide some inspiring viewpoints on the importance of biomimetic mineralization in material fabrication and thereby spur the biomimetic fabrication of high-performance MBSMs.

Abstract
Interface tissue engineering is a rapidly growing field that aims to develop engineered tissue alternates with the goal of promoting integration between multiple tissue types. Engineering interface tissues is a complex process, which requires a specialized biomaterials with organized material composition, stiffness, cell types, and signaling molecules. Among these, stiffness-controllable substrates have been developed to investigate the effect of stiffness on cell behavior. Especially these substrates with graded stiffness are advantageous since they allow the differentiation of multiple cell phenotypes and subsequent tissue development. In this review, we highlight the various types of manufacturing techniques that can be leveraged to fabricate scaffolds with stiffness gradient, discuss methods to characterize them, and gradient biomaterials for controlling cellular behavior including attachment, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. We also address fundamentals of interface tissue organization, and stiffness gradient biomaterials for interface tissue regeneration. Potential challenges and future directions in this emerging field are also discussed.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most significant biominerals in nature. Living organisms are able to control its biomineralization by means of an organic matrix to tailor a myriad of hybrid functional materials. The soluble organic components are often proteins rich in acidic amino-acids such as l-aspartic acid. While several studies have demonstrated the influence of amino acids on the crystallization of calcium carbonate, nanoscopic insight of their impact on CaCO3 mineralization, in particular at the early stages, is still lacking. Herein, we implement liquid phase-transmission electron microscopy (LP-TEM) in order to visualize in real-time and at the nanoscale the prenucleation stages of CaCO3 formation. We observe that l-aspartic acid favors the formation of individual and aggregated prenucleation clusters which are found stable for several minutes before the transformation into amorphous nanoparticles. Combination with hyperpolarized solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (DNP NMR) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations allow shedding light on the underlying mechanism at the prenucleation stage. The promoting nature of l-aspartic acid with respect to prenucleation clusters is explained by specific interactions with both Ca2+ and carbonates and the stabilization of the Ca2+-CO32-/HCO3- ion pairs favoring the formation and stabilization of the CaCO3 transient precursors. The study of prenucleation stages of mineral formation by the combination of in situ LP-TEM, advanced analytical techniques (including hyperpolarized solid-state NMR), and numerical modeling allows the real-time monitoring of prenucleation species formation and evolution and the comprehension of their relative stability.

Abstract
Natural materials possess many distinctive "living" attributes, such as self-growth, self-healing, environmental responsiveness, and evolvability, that are beyond the reach of many existing synthetic materials. The emerging field of engineered living materials (ELMs) takes inspiration from nature and harnesses engineered living systems to produce dynamic and responsive materials with genetically programmable functionalities. Here, we identify and review two main directions for the rational design of ELMs: first, engineering of living materials with enhanced performances by incorporating functional material modules, including engineered biological building blocks (proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids) or well-defined artificial materials; second, engineering of smart ELMs that can sense and respond to their surroundings by programming dynamic cellular behaviors regulated via cell-cell or cell-environment interactions. We next discuss the strengths and challenges of current ELMs and conclude by providing a perspective of future directions in this promising area.

Abstract
In this report, we demonstrated the formation of a biomimetic mineralizing layer obtained on the surface of dental enamel (biotemplate) using bioinspired nanocrystalline carbonate-substituted calcium hydroxyapatite (ncHAp), whose physical and chemical properties are closest to the natural apatite dental matrix, together with a complex of polyfunctional organic and polar amino acids. Using a set of structural, spectroscopy, and advanced microscopy techniques, we confirmed the formation of a nanosized ncHAp-based mineralized layer, as well as studying its chemical, substructural, and morphological features by means of various methods for the pretreatment of dental enamel. The pretreatment of a biotemplate in an alkaline solution of Ca(OH)2 and an amino acid booster, together with the executed subsequent mineralization with ncHAp, led to the formation of a mineralized layer with homogeneous micromorphology and the preferential orientation of the ncHAp nanocrystals. It was shown that the homogeneous crystallization of hydroxyapatite on the biotemplate surface and binding of individual nanocrystals and agglomerates into a single complex by an amino acid booster resulted in an increase (~15%) in the nanohardness value in the enamel rods area, compared to that of healthy natural enamel. Obtaining a similar hierarchy and cleavage characteristics as natural enamel in the mineralized layer, taking into account the micromorphological features of dental tissue, is an urgent problem for future research.

Abstract
As the indispensable second cellular messenger, calcium signaling is involved in the regulation of almost all physiological processes by activating specific target proteins. The importance of calcium ions (Ca2+) makes its "Janus nature" strictly regulated by its concentration. Abnormal regulation of calcium signals may cause some diseases; however, artificial regulation of calcium homeostasis in local lesions may also play a therapeutic role. "Calcium overload," for example, is characterized by excessive enrichment of intracellular Ca2+, which irreversibly switches calcium signaling from "positive regulation" to "reverse destruction," leading to cell death. However, this undesirable death could be defined as "calcicoptosis" to offer a novel approach for cancer treatment. Indeed, Ca2+ is involved in various cancer diagnostic and therapeutic events, including calcium overload-induced calcium homeostasis disorder, calcium channels dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, calcium-associated immunoregulation, cell/vascular/tumor calcification, and calcification-mediated CT imaging. In parallel, the development of multifunctional calcium-based nanomaterials (e.g., calcium phosphate, calcium carbonate, calcium peroxide, and hydroxyapatite) is becoming abundantly available. This review will highlight the latest insights of the calcium-based nanomaterials, explain their application, and provide novel perspective. Identifying and characterizing new patterns of calcium-dependent signaling and exploiting the disease element linkage offer additional translational opportunities for cancer theranostics.

Abstract
Bacteria form biofilms on material surfaces within hours. Biofilms are often considered problematic substances in the fields such as biomedical devices and the food industry; however, they are beneficial in other fields such as fermentation, water remediation, and civil engineering. Biofilm properties depend on their genome and the extracellular environment, including pH, shear stress, and matrices topography, stiffness, wettability, and charges during biofilm formation. These surface properties have feedback effects on biofilm formation at different stages. Due to emerging technology such as synthetic biology and genome editing, many studies have focused on functionalizing biofilm for specific applications. Nevertheless, few studies combine these two approaches to produce or modify biofilms. This review summarizes up-to-date materials science and synthetic biology approaches to controlling biofilms. The review proposed a potential research direction in the future that can gain better control of bacteria and biofilms.

Abstract
Biomineralization-inspired magnetic hybrid nanoflowers were prepared facilely, and capture probes were easily immobilized on the obtained nanoflowers without tedious processing. Based on the magnetic hybrid nanoflowers and exonuclease-assisted target recycling amplification, a fluorescence miRNA sensor was fabricated. The presence of target miRNA leads to the formation of the double-strand structure, which would then be selectively digested by the exonuclease and increase fluorescence intensity. The target miRNA can be released for recycling and signal amplification. Under optimized reaction conditions, the hybrid nanoflower-based miRNA sensor had a broad detection range from 0.001 nM to 100 nM and a limit of detection of 0.23 pM (S/N = 3). The sensitive detection of miRNA in serum was also achieved with recoveries from 94.3% to 116.1%. This work provides a new insight into the fabrication of bioconjugated materials and shows great potential in miRNA sensing.

Abstract
Microorganisms play a key role in the natural circulation of various constituent elements of metal sulfides. Some microorganisms (such as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) can promote the oxidation of metal sulfides to increase the release of heavy metals. However, other microorganisms (such as Desulfovibrio vulgaris) can transform heavy metals into metal sulfides crystals. Therefore, insight into the metal sulfides transformation mediated by microorganisms is of great significance to environmental protection. In this review, first, we discuss the mechanism and influencing factors of microorganisms transforming heavy metals into metal sulfides crystals in different environments. Then, we explore three microbe-mediated transformation forms of heavy metals to metal sulfides and their environmental applications: (1) transformation to metal sulfides precipitation for metal resource recovery; (2) transformation to metal sulfides nanoparticles (NPs) for pollutant treatment; (3) transformation to "metal sulfides-microbe" biohybrid system for clean energy production and pollutant remediation. Finally, we further provide critical views on the application of microbe-mediated metal sulfides transformation in the environmental field and discuss the need for future research.

Abstract
Nano- and micromaterials of various morphologies and compositions have extensive use in many different areas. However, the search for procedures giving custom nanomaterials with the desired structure, shape, and size remains a challenge and is often implemented by manual article screening. Here, for the first time, scanning and transmission electron microscopy inverse image search and hand drawing-based search via transfer learning are developed, namely, VGG16 convolution neural network repurposing for image features extraction and image similarity determination. Moreover, the case use of this platform is demonstrated on the calcium carbonate system, where the data are acquired by random high throughput experimental synthesis, and on Au nanoparticles data extracted from the articles. This approach can be used for advanced nanomaterials search, synthesis procedure verification, and can be further combined with machine learning solutions to provide data-driven nanomaterials discovery.

Abstract
Two-dimensional polymers functionalized with controllable density of carboxyl groups were constructed with the Langmuir-Blodgett method. Mineralization of calcium phosphate shows significantly different characteristics on these films, which clearly indicates that the density of carboxy groups plays a determining role in controlling the nucleation and orientated growth of calcium phosphate.

Abstract
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted widespread attention in cancer theranostics due to their high specific surface area and excellent photothermal conversion properties. However, their dimensions and biodegradability have limited the exploration of the therapeutic properties of transition metal dichalcogenides. Herein, we explore the mechanism of the keratin α-helix-to-random coil transition, as an actuation mechanism for the controllable design and precise synthesis of two-dimension copper sulfide nanoflakes (CuS NFs) with high absorption in the NIR-II window. Upon mixing keratin and Cu2+, the hydrogen bonds that maintain the α-helix are broken by copper ions to form biuret coordination, while the structure of the α-helix is transformed into a random coil, providing a more scalable space for the growth of CuS NFs. The CuS NFs prepared in this way possess the great advantages of outstanding uniformity, size controllability, and biodegradability. Importantly, the CuS NFs in the NIR-II window show an excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (32.9%) and extraordinary photoacoustic signal. This work updates the fabrication of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides and greatly enhances their competitiveness in the area of cancer theranostics in the NIR-II region, and provides significant theoretical and practical opportunities for the development of keratin using biomimetic synthesis.

Abstract
The Liesegang phenomenon is a spontaneous pattern formation, which is a periodic distribution of the precipitate discovered in diffusion-limited systems. Over the past century, it has been experimentally attempted to control the periodicity of patterns and structures of precipitates by varying the concentration of the hydrogel or electrolytes, adding organic or inorganic impurities, and applying an electric or pH field. In this work, the periodic patterns of calcium phosphate were manipulated with an anionic macromolecular additive inspired by bone mineralization in which various noncollagenous proteins are involved in the formation of a polymer-induced liquid precursor. The periodic patterns were systematically controlled by adjusting the amount of poly(acrylic acid), and they were numerically simulated by adjusting the threshold concentration of nucleation. The change of the pattern is explained by improved stability and directional diffusion of the intermediate.

Abstract
The visionary idea that RNA adopts nonbiological roles in today's nanomaterial world has been nothing short of phenomenal. These RNA molecules have ample chemical functionality and self-assemble to form distinct nanostructures in response to external stimuli. They may be combined with inorganic materials to produce nanomachines that carry cargo to a target site in a controlled manner and respond dynamically to environmental changes. Comparable to biological cells, programmed RNA nanomachines have the potential to replicate bone healing in vitro. Here, an RNA-biomineral nanomachine is developed, which accomplishes intrafibrillar and extrafibrillar mineralization of collagen scaffolds to mimic bone formation in vitro. Molecular dynamics simulation indicates that noncovalent hydrogen bonding provides the energy source that initiates self-assembly of these nanomachines. Incorporation of the RNA-biomineral nanomachines into collagen scaffolds in vivo creates an osteoinductive microenvironment within a bone defect that is conducive to rapid biomineralization and osteogenesis. Addition of RNA-degrading enzymes into RNA-biomineral nanomachines further creates a stop signal that inhibits unwarranted bone formation in tissues. The potential of RNA in building functional nanostructures has been underestimated in the past. The concept of RNA-biomineral nanomachines participating in physiological processes may transform the nanoscopic world of life science.

Abstract
Microorganisms can serve as biological factories for the synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials that can become useful as nanocatalysts, energy-harvesting-storage components, antibacterial agents, and biomedical materials. Herein, the development of biosynthesis of inorganic nanomaterials into a simple, stable, and accurate strategy for distinguishing microorganisms from multiple classification levels (i.e., kingdom, order, genus, and species) without gene amplification, biochemical testing, or target recognition is reported. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) biosynthesized by different microorganisms differ in color of the solution, and their features can be characterized, including the particle size, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectrum, and the surface potential. The inter-relation between the features of micro-biosynthetic AuNPs and the classification of microorganisms are exploited at different levels through machine learning to establish a taxonomic model. This model agrees well with traditional classification methods that offers a new strategy for microbial taxonomic identification. The underlying mechanism of this strategy is related to the biomolecules produced by different microorganisms including glucose, glutathione, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-dependent reductase that regulate the features of micro-biosynthetic AuNPs. This work broadens the application of biosynthesis of inorganic materials through micro-biosynthetic AuNPs and machine learning, which holds great promise as a tool for biomedical research.

Abstract
This study aims to develop an innovative dental product to remineralize dental enamel by a proper combination of ion-exchange resins as controlled release of mineral ions that form dental enamel, in the presence of amelogenin to guide the appropriate crystal growth. The novel product proposed consists of a combination of ion-exchange resins (weak acid and weak base) individually loaded with the remineralizing ions: Ca2+, PO43- and F-, also including Zn2+ in a minor amount as antibacterial, together with the protein amelogenin. Such cocktail provides onsite controlled release of the ions necessary for enamel remineralization due to the weak character of the resins and at the same time, a guiding tool for related crystal growth by the indicated protein. Amelogenin protein is involved in the structural development of natural enamel and takes a key role in controlling the crystal growth morphology and alignment at the enamel surface. Bovine teeth were treated by applying the resins and protein together with artificial saliva. Treated teeth were evaluated with nanoindentation, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The innovative material induces the dental remineralization creating a fluorapatite layer with a hardness equivalent to sound enamel, with the appropriate alignment of corresponding nanocrystals, being the fluorapatite more acid resistant than the original mineral. Our results suggest that the new product shows potential for promoting long-term remineralization leading to the inhibition of caries and protection of dental structures.

Abstract
It is currently known that crosslinking agents can effectively improve the mechanical properties of dentin by crosslinking type I collagen. However, few scholars have focused on the influence of crosslinking agents on the collagen-mineral interface after crosslinking. Analysis of the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that hydrogen bonding occurs between the tannic acid (TA) molecule and the collagen. The crosslinking degree of TA to collagen reached a maximum 41.28 ± 1.52. This study used TA crosslinked collagen fibers to successfully induce dentin biomineralization, and the complete remineralization was achieved within 4 days. The crosslinking effect of TA can improve the mechanical properties and anti-enzyme properties of dentin. The elastic modulus (mean and standard deviation) and hardness values of the remineralized dentin pretreated with TA reached 19.1 ± 1.12 GPa and 0.68 ± 0.06 GPa, respectively, which were close to those of healthy dentin measurements, but significantly higher than those of dentin without crosslinking (8.91 ± 1.82 GPa and 0.16 ± 0.01 GPa). The interface energy between the surface of collagen fibers and minerals decreased from 10.59 mJ m-2 to 4.19 mJ m-2 with the influence of TA. The current work reveals the importance of tannic acid crosslinking for dentin remineralization while providing profound insights into the interfacial control of biomolecules in collagen mineralization.

Abstract
Biomineralization has not been widely applied due to the lack of bacterial reusability, which needs to be investigated urgently. In this study, we found Lysinibacillus could immobilize Pb2+ at initial pH ≥ 2.0. Lead ion recovery and cell reutilization could be achieved efficiently at pH = 1.0 (c(HNO3) = 0.1 mol/L). Besides, the strong chelating agent EDTA-2Na (c(EDTA-2Na)= 0.1 mol/L) was used for comparison. The oxidative damaging effect of cells could be reduced by both eluents. Mechanism analysis was conducted through zeta potential measurement, 3D-EEM, cyclic voltammetry, FE-EPMA, XRD, FTIR, and XPS. After the cells were eluted by HNO3, the enzyme activity enhanced and the removal efficiency increased continuously. Cells were used to remove Pb2+ repeatedly, and regular-shaped Pb3(PO4)2 crystals were always formed. After the cells were eluted by EDTA-2Na, cells were more prone to redox reaction and were induced to produce mercaptan (R-SH). The active hydrogen in R-SH could react with peroxide free radicals. New free radicals were formed after the R-SH was stripped of hydrogen, and finally, PbS stable mineral was formed. This research provides a new strategy to realize bacterial reutilization, which is a breakthrough in the field of biomineralization.

Abstract
Fungal-mediated extracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen, and contaminants in terrestrial environments. These ROS levels may be modulated by iron nanoparticles that possess intrinsic peroxidase (POD)-like activity (nanozymes). However, it remains largely undescribed how fungi modulate the POD-like activity of the iron nanoparticles with various crystallinities and crystal facets. Using well-controlled fungal-mineral cultivation experiments, here, we showed that fungi possessed a robust defect engineering strategy to modulate the POD-like activity of the attached iron minerals by decreasing the catalytic activity of poorly ordered ferrihydrite but enhancing that of well-crystallized hematite. The dynamics of POD-like activity were found to reside in molecular trade-offs between lattice oxygen and oxygen vacancies in the iron nanoparticles, which may be located in a cytoprotective fungal exoskeleton. Together, our findings unveil coupled POD-like activity and oxygen redox dynamics during fungal-mineral interactions, which increase the understanding of the catalytic mechanisms of POD-like nanozymes and microbial-mediated biogeochemical cycles of nutrient elements as well as the attenuation of contaminants in terrestrial environments.

Abstract
Current lung cancer diagnosis methods encounter delayed visual confirmation of tumor foci and low-resolution metrics in imaging findings, which delays the early treatment of tumors. Here, we developed a potent lung cancer imaging and treatment strategy centered around a nanotransformational concept of tumor iron mineralization in situ, which employs Prussian blue/calcium peroxide nanocomposites as a precursor. The resultant iron mineralization in tumor cells greatly facilitates the early and differential diagnosis of lung carcinoma from benign nodules via medical imaging, meanwhile introducing oxidative stress to activate the cellular apoptosis and ferroptosis pathways, resulting in inhibition of the malignant behavior of tumor cells. Tumor-microenvironment-triggered iron mineralization enables integration of the detection and prevention of tumor metastasis at its early stages with no assistance of toxic drugs, which offers a potential solution for the precise management of lung cancer with ideal outcomes.

Abstract
Biomineralization generates hierarchically structured minerals with vital biological functions in organisms. This strategy has been adopted to construct complex architectures to achieve similar functionalities, mostly under chemical environments mimicking biological components. The molecular origin of the biofacilitated mineralization process is elusive. Herein, we describe the mineralization of hydroxyapatite (HAp) accompanying the biological secretion of nanocellulose by Acetobacter xylinum. In comparison with mature cellulose, the newly biosynthesized cellulose molecules greatly accelerate the nucleation rate and facilitate the uniform distribution of HAp crystals, thereby generating composites with a higher Young modulus. Both simulations and experiments indicate that the biological metabolism condition allows the easier capture of calcium ions by the more abundant hydroxyl groups on the glucan chain before the formation of hydrogen bonding, for the subsequent growth of HAp crystals. Our work provides more insights into the biologically accelerated mineralization process and presents a different methodology for the generation of biomimetic nanocomposites.

Abstract
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is widely known as a metastable precursor in the formation of crystalline calcium carbonate biominerals. However, the exact role of water during the crystallization of ACC remains elusive. Here, a novel ACC with high specific surface area and nanopores is synthesized by solvent-induced dehydration and amorphization of crystalline calcium carbonate hexahydrate (ikaite), denoted as I-ACC. Comparing I-ACC and typical spherical ACC (S-ACC) nanoparticles, it reveals that the crystallization pathways of ACC under heating or pressure are not dictated by the total amount of water in ACC as reported, but rather the interfacial water that is released from ACC bulk and adsorbed on the surface of the particles. We show that the crystallization pathways of I-ACC to calcite single crystal with high specific surface area or vaterite can be easily controlled by tuning the release of water during heating. In addition, densely packed pure vaterite can be obtained via pressured-induced transformation of I-ACC at room temperature, which is otherwise difficult to form using S-ACC. These insights contribute to the understanding of the biological control of mineral formation via amorphous precursors and offer new opportunities to bioprocess inspired fabrication of strong bulk material at room temperature.

Abstract
Biomineralization is the process by which organisms form mineralized tissues with hierarchical structures and excellent properties, including the bones and teeth in vertebrates. The underlying mechanisms and pathways of biomineralization provide inspiration for designing and constructing materials to repair hard tissues. In particular, the formation processes of minerals can be partly replicated by utilizing bioinspired artificial materials to mimic the functions of biomolecules or stabilize intermediate mineral phases involved in biomineralization. Here, we review recent advances in biomineralization-inspired materials developed for hard tissue repair. Biomineralization-inspired materials are categorized into different types based on their specific applications, which include bone repair, dentin remineralization, and enamel remineralization. Finally, the advantages and limitations of these materials are summarized, and several perspectives on future directions are discussed.

Abstract
For cancer treatment, nanocarriers were designed with cationic lipids and polymers to improve the cytosolic delivery efficiency of siRNA. Though the positively charged nanocarriers showed great potential for RNA therapy, it was inevitable to generate the potential cytotoxicity. We constructed a pH-responsive nanoplatform, which co-carried siRNA and anticancer drug (hydroxycamptothecine, HCPT), to integrate gene therapy and chemotherapy for combination cancer therapy. The fluorescent conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNPs) modified with cell-penetrating peptides were employed as cores to carry siRNA molecules (siRNA-CPNPs) and track the biodistribution of nanotherapeutics by virtue of fluorescence. Calcium phosphate (CaP) nanocoatings were deposited on the surface of siRNA-CPNPs, followed by loading with HCPT and aptamers targeting cancer cells to obtain a targeted and tumor acid-responsive biocompatible nanoplatform. After the uptake of cancer cells, the CaP nanocoatings were decomposed in the acidic endo/lysosomes to release HCPT, and the siRNA-CPNPs were exposed to facilitate the siRNA endo/lysosome escape and cytoplasm delivery. Results obtained from both in vitro and in vivo studies in tumor inhibition expressed that the combined therapy exhibited a better therapeutic efficacy than any monotherapy.

Abstract
Conventional biomaterials developed for bone regeneration fail to fully recapitulate the nanoscale structural organization and complex composition of the native bone microenvironment. Therefore, despite promoting osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, they fall short of providing the structural, biochemical, and mechanical stimuli necessary to drive osteogenesis for bone regeneration and function. To address this, we have recently developed a novel strategy to engineer bone-like tissue using a biomimetic approach to achieve rapid and controlled nanoscale mineralization of a cell-laden matrix in the presence of osteopontin, a non-collagenous protein, and a supersaturated solution of calcium and phosphate medium. Here, we build on this approach to engineer bone regeneration scaffolds comprising methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogels incorporated with calcium citrate core-shell microparticles as a sustained and reliable source of calcium ions for in situ mineralization. We demonstrate successful biomineralization of GelMA hydrogels by embedded calcium carbonate-calcium citrate core-shell microparticles with the resultant mineral chemistry, structure, and organization reminiscent of that of native bone. The biomimetic mineralization was further shown to promote osteogenic differentiation of encapsulated human mesenchymal stem cells even in the absence of other exogenous osteogenic induction factors. Ultimately, by combining the superior biological response engendered by biomimetic mineralization with the intrinsic tissue engineering advantages offered by GelMA, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and printability, we envision that our system offers great potential for bone regeneration efforts.

Abstract
Demineralization of hard tooth tissues leads to dental caries, which cause health problems and economic burdens throughout the world. A biomimetic mineralization strategy is expected to reverse early dental caries. Commercially available anti-carious mineralizing products lead to inconclusive clinical results because they cannot continuously replenish the required calcium and phosphate resources. Herein, we prepared a mineralizing film consisting of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and polyaspartic acid-stabilized amorphous calcium phosphate (PAsp-ACP) nanoparticles. HPMC which contains multiple hydroxyl groups is a film-forming material that can be desiccated to form a dry film. In a moist environment, this film gradually changes into a gel. HPMC was used as the carrier of PAsp-ACP nanoparticles to deliver biomimetic mineralization. Our results indicated that the hydroxyl and methoxyl groups of HPMC could assist the stability of PAsp-ACP nanoparticles and maintain their biomimetic mineralization activity. The results further demonstrated that the bioinspired mineralizing film induced the early mineralization of demineralized dentin after 24 h with increasing mineralization of the whole demineralized dentin (3-4 µm) after 72-96 h. Furthermore, these results were achieved without any cytotoxicity or mucosa irritation. Therefore, this mineralizing film shows promise for use in preventive dentistry due to its efficient mineralization capability.

Abstract
Microorganisms have been extensively applied as active biotherapeutic agents or drug delivery vehicles for antitumor treatment because of their unparalleled bio-functionalities. Taking advantage of the living attributes of microorganisms, a new avenue has been opened in anticancer research. The integration of customized functional materials with living microorganisms has demonstrated unprecedented potential in solving existing questions and even conferring microorganisms with updated antitumor abilities and has also provided an innovative train of thought for enhancing the efficacy of microorganism-based tumor therapy. In this review, we have summarized the emerging development of customized materials-assisted microorganisms (MAMO) (including bacteria, viruses, fungi, microalgae, as well as their components) in tumor therapeutics with an emphasis on the rational utilization of chosen microorganisms and tailored materials, the ingenious design of biohybrid systems, and the efficacious antitumor mechanisms. The future perspectives and challenges in this field are also discussed.

Nat Commun 2021; 12:6327. [PMID: 34732696 PMCID: PMC8566554 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-26593-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 01/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Osteoclasts (OCs), the only cells capable of remodeling bone, can demineralize calcium minerals biologically. Naive OCs have limitations for the removal of ectopic calcification, such as in heterotopic ossification (HO), due to their restricted activity, migration and poor adhesion to sites of ectopic calcification. HO is the formation of pathological mature bone within extraskeletal soft tissues, and there are currently no reliable methods for removing these unexpected calcified plaques. In the present study, we develop a chemical approach to modify OCs with tetracycline (TC) to produce engineered OCs (TC-OCs) with an enhanced capacity for targeting and adhering to ectopic calcified tissue due to a broad affinity for calcium minerals. Unlike naive OCs, TC-OCs are able to effectively remove HO both in vitro and in vivo. This achievement indicates that HO can be reversed using modified OCs and holds promise for engineering cells as "living treatment agents" for cell therapy.
