Abstract
Using chemically modified extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen, in combination with light for tissue bonding reduces inflammation and minimizes scarring. However, full length animal or recombinant human collagen proteins are difficult to isolate/produce. Thus, short biomimetic collagen peptides with properties equivalent to collagen at both structural and functional levels may be ideal building blocks for the development of remotely triggered adhesives and fillers. In this work, the conjugation of self-assembling collagen-like peptides to acrylate functionalized polyethylene glycol units yielded adhesive filler materials activated by visible light through the incorporation of a photosensitizer. When tested in a murine skin wound model, the photoactivated adhesives showed reduced scar formation and promoted epithelial regeneration.

Abstract
Understanding cell-material interactions requires accurate characterization of the substrate mechanics, which are generally measured by indentation-type atomic force microscopy. To facilitate cell-substrate interaction, model extracellular matrix coatings are used although their tensile mechanical properties are generally unknown. In this study, beyond standard compressive stiffness estimation, we performed a novel tensile mechanical characterization of collagen- and fibronectin-micropatterned polyacrylamide hydrogels. We further demonstrate the impact of the protein mat on the tensile stiffness characterization of adherent cells. To our knowledge, our study is the first to uncover direction-dependent mechanical behavior of the protein coatings and to demonstrate that it affects cellular response relative to substrate mechanics.

Abstract
Growth factor delivery using acellular matrices presents a promising alternative to current treatment options for bone repair in critical-size injuries. However, supra-physiological doses of the factors can introduce safety concerns that must be alleviated, mainly by sustaining delivery of smaller doses using the matrix as a depot. We developed an acellular, biodegradable hydrogel implant composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and denatured albumin to be used for sustained delivery of bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP2). In this study, poly(ethylene glycol)-albumin (PEG-Alb) hydrogels were produced and loaded with 7.7 μg/mL of recombinant human BMP2 (rhBMP2) to be tested for safety and performance in a critical-size long-bone defect, using a rodent model. The hydrogels were formed ex situ in a 5 mm long cylindrical mold of 3 mm diameter, implanted into defects made in the tibia of Sprague-Dawley rats and compared to non-rhBMP2 control hydrogels at 13 weeks following surgery. The hydrogels were also compared to the more established PEG-fibrinogen (PEG-Fib) hydrogels we have tested previously. Comprehensive in vitro characterization as well as in vivo assessments that include: histological analyses, including safety parameters (i.e., local tolerance and toxicity), assessment of implant degradation, bone formation, as well as repair tissue density using quantitative microCT analysis were performed. The in vitro assessments demonstrated similarities between the mechanical and release properties of the PEG-Alb hydrogels to those of the PEG-Fib hydrogels. Safety analysis presented good local tolerance in the bone defects and no signs of toxicity. A significantly larger amount of bone was detected at 13 weeks in the rhBMP2-treated defects as compared to non-rhBMP2 defects. However, no significant differences were noted in bone formation at 13 weeks when comparing the PEG-Alb-treated defects to PEG-Fib-treated defects (with or without BMP2). The study concludes that hydrogel scaffolds made from PEG-Alb containing 7.7 μg/mL of rhBMP2 are effective in accelerating the bridging of boney defects in the tibia.

Abstract
This in vitro study aimed at evaluating the physical and mechanical properties of newly developed scaffolds of poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and biphasic ceramic (Hydroxyapatite HA + beta-tricalciumphosphate β-TCP) with or without collagen impregnation to be used for bone regeneration in the oral and maxillofacial district. Solvent casting and particle leaching techniques were used to produce the scaffolds, which were then divided into six groups according to PLGA/HA + β-TCP ratio and impregnation with collagen: G1 (50/50) + collagen; G2 (60/40) + collagen; G3 (40/60) + collagen; G4 (50/50); G5 (60/40); G6 (40/60). As control group, inorganic xenogenous bone was used. Structure and porosity were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, and a chemical analysis was performed through an energy-dispersive spectrometer. Moreover, to evaluate the hydrophilicity of the samples, a wettability test was conceived, and finally, mechanical properties were examined by a compression test. High porosity and interconnectivity, resulting in a large surface area and great fluid retention capacity, were presented by the PLGA/HA + β-TCP scaffolds. In the composite groups, collagen increased the wettability and the mechanical resistance, although the latter was not statistically affected by the percentage of HA + β-TCP added. Further in vitro and in vivo studies are needed for a deeper understanding of the influence of collagen on the biological behavior of the developed composite materials and their potential, namely biocompatibility and bioactivity, for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hierarchical structure has exhibited an important influence in the fields of supercapacitors, catalytic applications, and tissue engineering. The hot dog, a popular food, is composed of bread and sausage with special structures. In this study, inspired by the structure of a hot dog, the strategy of combining direct ink writing 3D printing with bidirectional freezing is devised to prepare hot dog-like scaffolds with hierarchical structure. The scaffolds are composed of hollow bioceramic tubes (mimicking the "bread" in hot dogs, pore size: ≈1 mm) embedded by bioceramic rods (mimicking the "sausage" in hot dogs, diameter: ≈500 µm) and the sausage-like bioceramic rods possess uniformly aligned lamellar micropores (lamellar pore size: ≈30 µm). By mimicking the functions of hierarchical structure of bone tissues for transporting and storing nutrients, the prepared hot dog-like scaffolds show excellent properties for loading and releasing drugs and proteins as well as for improving the delivery and differentiation of tissue cells. The in vivo study further demonstrates that both the hierarchical structure itself and the controlled drug delivery in hot dog-like scaffolds significantly contribute to the improved bone-forming bioactivity. This study suggests that the prepared hot dog-like scaffolds are a promising biomaterial for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Surface modification is one important way to fabricate successful biocompatible materials in bone tissue engineering. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) materials have received considerable attention as suitable bioceramics for manufacturing osseous implants because of their similarity to bone mineral in terms of chemical composition. In this study, the surface of porous HAp scaffold was modified by collagen treatment and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) conjugation. The surface modification did not affect the HAp scaffold's bulk properties. No significant difference in compressive strength was found among different scaffolds, with HAp, collagen modified HAp, and collagen-BMP-2-functionalized HAp having compressive strengths of 45.8 ± 3.12, 51.2 ± 4.09, and 50.7 ± 3.98 MPa, respectively. In vitro studies were performed to compare adhesion and osteogenic differentiation between human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) with modified surfaces and those unmodified HAp surfaces. Collagen or BMP-2 alone was insufficient and that both collagen and BMP-2 are necessary to get the desired results. The findings suggest the possibility of using three-dimensional HAp scaffold treated with gold-standard collagen coating and highly researched BMP-2 growth factor as a platform to deliver hADSCs. Results of this study could be used to develop treatment strategy for regenerating completely transected models using more synergistic approaches.

Abstract
Synthetically derived peptide-based biomaterials are in many instances capable of mimicking the structure and function of their full-length endogenous counterparts. Combine this with the fact that short mimetic peptides are easier to produce when compared to full length proteins, show enhanced processability and ease of modification, and have the ability to be prepared under well-defined and controlled conditions; it becomes obvious why there has been a recent push to develop regenerative biomaterials from these molecules. There is increasing evidence that the incorporation of peptides within regenerative scaffolds can result in the generation of structural recognition motifs that can enhance cell attachment or induce cell signaling pathways, improving cell infiltration or promote a variety of other modulatory biochemical responses. By highlighting the current approaches in the design and application of short mimetic peptides, we hope to demonstrate their potential in soft-tissue healing while at the same time drawing attention to the advances made to date and the problems which need to be overcome to advance these materials to the clinic for applications in heart, skin, and cornea repair.

Abstract
Non-availability of an ideal alternative for autografts in treating critical-size bone defects is a major challenge in orthopedics. Phytocompounds have been proven to enhance osteogenesis via various osteogenic signaling pathways, but its decreased bioavailability and increased renal clearance limit its application. In this study, we designed a biocomposite scaffold comprising gelatin (Gel) and nanohydroxyapatite (nHAp) incorporated with diosmin (DM) and we investigated its bone forming potential in vitro and in vivo. Physiochemical characterization of the scaffold showed that DM had no effect on altering the material characteristics of the scaffold. The addition of DM enhanced the osteoblast differentiation potential of the scaffold in mouse mesenchymal stem cells at both cellular and molecular levels, possibly via the integrin-mediated activation of FAK and ERK signaling components. Using the rat tibial bone defective model, we identified the effect of DM in Gel/nHAp scaffold on enhancing bone formation in vivo. Based on our results, we suggest that Gel/nHAp/DM can be a potential therapeutic agent in scaffold-mediated bone regeneration.

Abstract
Decellularised tissues and organs have been successfully used in a variety of tissue engineering/regenerative medicine applications. Because of the complexity of each tissue (size, porosity, extracellular matrix (ECM) composition etc.), there is no standardised protocol and the decellularisation methods vary widely, thus leading to heterogeneous outcomes. Physical, chemical, and enzymatic methods have been developed and optimised for each specific application and this review describes the most common strategies utilised to achieve decellularisation of soft and hard tissues. While removal of the DNA is the primary goal of decellularisation, it is generally achieved at the expense of ECM preservation due to the harsh chemical or enzymatic processing conditions. As denaturation of the native ECM has been associated with undesired host responses, decellularisation conditions aimed at effectively achieving simultaneous DNA removal and minimal ECM damage will be highlighted. Additionally, the utilisation of decellularised matrices in regenerative medicine is explored, as are the most recent strategies implemented to circumvent challenges in this field. In summary, this review focusses on the latest advancements and future perspectives in the utilisation of natural ECM for the decoration of synthetic porous scaffolds.

Abstract
Biomedical implants have been widely used in various orthopedic treatments, including total hip arthroplasty, joint arthrodesis, fracture fixation, non-union, dental repair, etc. The modern research and development of orthopedic implants have gradually shifted from traditional mechanical support to a bioactive graft in order to endow them with better osteoinduction and osteoconduction. Inspired by structural and mechanical properties of natural bone, this review provides a panorama of current biological surface modifications for facilitating the interaction between medical implants and bone tissue and gives a future outlook for fabricating the next-generation multifunctional and smart implants by systematically biomimicking the physiological processes involved in formation and functioning of bones.

Abstract
A synthetic 'chondroinductive' biomaterial that could induce chondrogenesis without the need for growth factors, extracellular matrix, or pre-seeded cells could revolutionize orthopedic regenerative medicine. The objective of the current study was thus to introduce a synthetic SPPEPS peptide and evaluate its ability to induce chondrogenic differentiation. In the current study, dissolving a synthetic chondroinductive peptide candidate (100 ng/mL SPPEPS) in the culture medium of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) elevated collagen type II gene expression compared to the negative control (no growth factor or peptide in the cell culture medium) after 3 days. In addition, proteomic analyses indicated similarities in pathways and protein profiles between the positive control (10 ng/mL TGF-β3) and peptide group (100 ng/mL SPPEPS), affirming the potential of the peptide for chondroinductivity. Incorporating the SPPEPS peptide in combination with the RGD peptide in pentenoate-functionalized hyaluronic acid (PHA) hydrogels elevated the collagen type II gene expression of the rBMSCs cultured on top of the hydrogels compared to using either peptide alone. The evidence suggests that SPPEPS may be a chondroinductive peptide, which may be enhanced in combination with an adhesion peptide.

Abstract
The coatings application onto medical devices has experienced a continuous growth in the last few years. Medical device coating market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.16% to reach USD 10 million by 2023 due to the increasing geriatric population and the growing demand for continuous innovation. Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly represents a versatile method to modify the surface properties, in order to control cell interaction and thus enhance biological functions. Furthermore, LbL is environmentally friendly, able to coat all types of surfaces with the creation of homogenous film and to include and control the release of biomolecules/drugs. This feature review provides a critical overview on recent progresses in functionalizing materials by LbL assembly for bone regeneration and disorder treatment. An overview of emerging and visionary opportunities on LbL technologies and further combination with other existing methods used in biomedical field, is also discussed to evidence the new challenges and potential developments in bone regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Macroscale biomaterials, such as preformed implantable scaffolds and injectable soft materials, possess powerful synergies with anti-cancer immunotherapies. Immunotherapies on their own typically have poor delivery properties, and often require repeated high-dose injections that result in serious off-tumor effects and/or limited efficacy. Rationally designed biomaterials allow for discrete localization and controlled release of immunotherapeutic agents, and have been shown in a large number of applications to improve outcomes in the treatment of cancers via immunotherapy. Among various strategies, macroscale biomaterial delivery systems can take the form of robust tablet-like scaffolds that are surgically implanted into a tumor resection site, releasing programmed immune cells or immunoregulatory agents. Alternatively they can be developed as soft gel-like materials that are injected into solid tumors or sites of resection to stimulate a potent anti-tumor immune response. Biomaterials synthesized from diverse components such as polymers and peptides can be combined with any immunotherapy in the modern toolbox, from checkpoint inhibitors and stimulatory adjuvants, to cancer antigens and adoptive T cells, resulting in unique synergies and improved therapeutic efficacy. The field is growing rapidly in size as publications continue to appear in the literature, and biomaterial-based immunotherapies are entering clinical trials and human patients. It is unarguably an exciting time for cancer immunotherapy and biomaterial researchers, and further work seeks to understand the most critical design considerations in the development of the next-generation of immunotherapeutic biomaterials. This review will discuss recent advances in the delivery of immunotherapies from localized biomaterials, focusing on macroscale implantable and injectable systems. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Anti-cancer immunotherapies have shown exciting clinical results in the past few decades, yet they suffer from a few distinct limitations, such as poor delivery kinetics, narrow patient response profiles, and systemic side effects. Biomaterial systems are now being developed that can overcome many of these problems, allowing for localized adjuvant delivery, focused dose concentrations, and extended therapy presentation. The field of biocompatible carrier materials is uniquely suited to be combined with immunotherapy, promising to yield significant improvements in treatment outcomes and clinical care. In this review, the first pioneering efforts and most recent advances in biomaterials for immunotherapeutic applications are explored, with a specific focus on implantable and injectable biomaterials such as porous scaffolds, cryogels, and hydrogels.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP‐2)‐loaded collagen sponges remain the clinical standard for treatment of large bone defects when there is insufficient autograft, despite associated complications. Recent efforts to negate comorbidities have included biomaterials and gene therapy approaches to extend the duration of BMP‐2 release and activity. In this study, we compared the collagen sponge clinical standard to chondroitin sulfate glycosaminoglycan (CS‐GAG) scaffolds as a delivery vehicle for recombinant human BMP‐2 (rhBMP‐2) and rhBMP‐2 expression via human BMP‐2 gene inserted into mesenchymal stem cells (BMP‐2 MSC). We demonstrated extended release of rhBMP‐2 from CS‐GAG scaffolds compared to their collagen sponge counterparts, and further extended release from CS‐GAG gels seeded with BMP‐2 MSC. When used to treat a challenging critically sized femoral defect model in rats, both rhBMP‐2 and BMP‐2 MSC in CS‐GAG induced comparable bone formation to the rhBMP‐2 in collagen sponge, as measured by bone volume, strength, and stiffness. We conclude that CS‐GAG scaffolds are a promising delivery vehicle for controlling the release of rhBMP‐2 and to mediate the repair of critically sized segmental bone defects. stem cells translational medicine2019;8:575–585

Abstract
Collagen-based scaffolds may require chemical crosslinking to achieve mechanical properties suitable for tissue engineering. Carbodiimide treatment, often used for this purpose, consumes amino acid side chains required for receptor recognition, thus reducing cell-collagen interaction. Here, we restore recognition and function of both von Willebrand Factor (VWF) and Discoidin Domain Receptor 2 (DDR2) to crosslinked collagen films by derivatisation with a specific triple-helical peptide (THP), an approach previously applied to integrin-mediated cellular adhesion. The THP contained the collagen III-derived active sequence, GPRGQOGVNleGFO, conjugated to a photoreactive moiety, diazirine, allowing UV-dependent covalent coupling to collagen films. Crosslinking of collagen films attenuated the binding of recombinant VWF A3 domain and of DDR2 (as the GST and Fc fusions, respectively), and coupling of the specific THP restored their attachment. These derivatised films supported activation of DDR2 expressed in either COS-7 or HEK293 cells, reflected by phosphorylation of tyrosine 740, and VWF-mediated platelet deposition from flowing blood was restored. Further, such films were able to increase low-density lipoprotein uptake in vascular endothelial cells, a marker for endothelial phenotype. Thus, covalent linkage of specific THPs to crosslinked collagen films i) restores their cognate protein binding, ii) triggers the corresponding cellular responses, and iii) demonstrates the broad applicability of the approach to a range of receptors for applications in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Matrikines, peptides originating from the fragmentation of extracellular matrix proteins are identified to play important role in both health and disease. They possess biological activities, much different from their parent protein. Identification of such bioactive cryptic regions in the extracellular matrix proteins has attracted the researchers all over the world in the recent decade. These bioactive peptides could find use in preparation of biomaterials and tissue engineering applications. Matrikines identified in major extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins like collagen, elastin, fibronectin, and laminin are being extensively studied for use in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. They are identified to modulate cellular activity like cell growth, proliferation, migration and may induce apoptosis. RGD, a well-known peptide identified in fibronectin with cell adhesive property is being investigated in designing biomaterials. Collagen hexapeptide GFOGER was found to promote cell adhesion and differentiation. Laminin also possesses regions with strong cell adhesion property. Recently, cell-penetrating peptides from elastin are used as a targeted delivery system for therapeutic drugs. The continued search for cryptic sequences in the extracellular matrix proteins along with advanced peptide coupling chemistries would lead to biomaterials with improved surface properties. This review article outlines the peptides derived from extracellular matrix and some of the possible applications of these peptides in therapeutics and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Collagen I interactions with integrins α1 and α2 are known to support human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) osteogenesis. Nonetheless, elucidating the relative impact of specific integrin interactions has proven challenging, in part due to the complexity of native collagen. In the present work, we employed two collagen-mimetic proteins-Scl2-2 and Scl2-3- to compare the osteogenic effects of integrin α1 versus α2 signaling. Scl2-2 and Scl2-3 were both derived from Scl2-1, a triple helical protein lacking known cell adhesion, cytokine binding, and matrix metalloproteinase sites. However, Scl2-2 and Scl2-3 were each engineered to display distinct collagen-based cell adhesion motifs: GFPGER (binding integrins α1 and α2 ) or GFPGEN (binding only integrin α1 ), respectively. hMSCs were cultured within poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels containing either Scl2-2 or Scl2-3 for 2 weeks. PEG-Scl2-2 gels were associated with increased hMSC osterix expression, osteopontin production, and calcium deposition relative to PEG-Scl2-3 gels. These data indicate that integrin α2 signaling may have an increased osteogenic effect relative to integrin α1 . Since p38 is activated by integrin α2 but not by integrin α1 , hMSCs were further cultured in PEG-Scl2-2 hydrogels in the presence of a p38 inhibitor. Results suggest that p38 activity may play a key role in collagen-supported hMSC osteogenesis. This knowledge can be used toward the rational design of scaffolds which intrinsically promote hMSC osteogenesis. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 106A: 2594-2604, 2018.

Abstract
Stem cells are a powerful resource for many applications including regenerative medicine, patient-specific disease modeling, and toxicology screening. However, eliciting the desired behavior from stem cells, such as expansion in a naïve state or differentiation into a particular mature lineage, remains challenging. Drawing inspiration from the native stem cell niche, hydrogel platforms have been developed to regulate stem cell fate by controlling microenvironmental parameters including matrix mechanics, degradability, cell-adhesive ligand presentation, local microstructure, and cell-cell interactions. We survey techniques for modulating hydrogel properties and review the effects of microenvironmental parameters on maintaining stemness and controlling differentiation for a variety of stem cell types. Looking forward, we envision future hydrogel designs spanning a spectrum of complexity, ranging from simple, fully defined materials for industrial expansion of stem cells to complex, biomimetic systems for organotypic cell culture models.

Abstract
Cell instructive biomaterial cues are a major topic of interest in both basic and applied research. In this work, we clarify how surface energy of soft biomaterials can dramatically affect mesenchymal stem cell receptor recruitment and downstream signaling related to cell fate. We elucidate how surface protein self-assembly and the resulting surface topology can act to steer mechanotransduction and related biological response of attached cells. These findings fill a critical gap in our basic understanding of cell–biomaterial interaction and highlight soft biomaterial surface energy as a dominant design factor that should not be neglected. Although mechanisms of cell–material interaction and cellular mechanotransduction are increasingly understood, the mechanical insensitivity of mesenchymal cells to certain soft amorphous biomaterial substrates has remained largely unexplained. We reveal that surface energy-driven supramolecular ligand assembly can regulate mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) sensing of substrate mechanical compliance and subsequent cell fate. Human MSCs were cultured on collagen-coated hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and hydrophilic polyethylene-oxide-PDMS (PEO-PDMS) of a range of stiffnesses. Although cell contractility was similarly diminished on soft substrates of both types, cell spreading and osteogenic differentiation occurred only on soft PDMS and not hydrophilic PEO-PDMS (elastic modulus <1 kPa). Substrate surface energy yields distinct ligand topologies with accordingly distinct profiles of recruited transmembrane cell receptors and related focal adhesion signaling. These differences did not differentially regulate Rho-associated kinase activity, but nonetheless regulated both cell spreading and downstream differentiation.

Abstract
Skin autografts are in great demand due to injuries and disease, but there are challenges using live tissue sources, and synthetic tissue is still in its infancy. In this study, an electrocompaction method was applied to fabricate the densely packed and highly ordered collagen/sulfated xylorhamnoglycuronan (SXRGlu) scaffold which closely mimicked the major structure and components in natural skin tissue. The fabricated electrocompacted collagen/SXRGlu matrices (ECLCU) were characterized in terms of micromorphology, mechanical property, water uptake ability and degradability. The viability, proliferation and morphology of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) cells on the fabricated matrices were also evaluated. The results indicated that the electrocompaction process could promote HDFs proliferation and SXRGlu could improve the water uptake ability and matrices' stability against collagenase degradation, and support fibroblast spreading on the ECLCU matrices. Therefore, all these results suggest that the electrocompacted collagen/SXRGlu scaffold is a potential candidate as a dermal substitute with enhanced biostability and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Purpose To improve orthopedic implant ingrowth, knowledge of the effect of chemical surface modifications on vital cell function in vitro is of importance. Early in our investigations we recognized that amino groups, positively charged via plasma polymerized allylamine, increased cell growth and the actin-filament formation in the initial cell-material contact phase. To gain insight into continuous vital cell behavior on this plasma polymer layer, here we present the metabolic activity of osteoblasts and their time-dependent adhesion using the sensor chip technology. Methods We demonstrate a new method for continuous 24 hour-measurements with vital human osteoblast-like cells (MG-63, ATCC) on sensor chips (Bionas® SC 1000) modified with plasma polymerized allylamine (PPAAm). The PPAAm film deposited on the chip is a cross-linked, strongly fixed plasma polymer with relatively high amino functionality and well defined chemical surface composition. We assessed continuous cell adhesion and the metabolic activity, i.e., oxygen consumption and acidification. Results We determined that adhesion of vital cells on PPAAm is not only enhanced shortly (1 h) after cell seeding but remained continuously higher for 24 h, which is significant. This nanometer-thin PPAAm layer did not change the overall metabolic activity of MG-63 cells during 24 h. Conclusion This tool – using adhesion and metabolic sensor chips – appears to be a suitable method for the recognition of vital cell physiology in biocompatibility measurements of plasma chemical treated surfaces.

Abstract
Mucosal barrier tissues, comprising a layer of tightly-bonded epithelial cells in intimate molecular communication with an underlying matrix-rich stroma containing fibroblasts and immune cells, are prominent targets for drugs against infection, chronic inflammation, and other disease processes. Although human in vitro models of such barriers are needed for mechanistic studies and drug development, differences in extracellular matrix (ECM) needs of epithelial and stromal cells hinder efforts to create such models. Here, using the endometrium as an example mucosal barrier, we describe a synthetic, modular ECM hydrogel suitable for 3D functional co-culture, featuring components that can be remodeled by cells and that respond dynamically to sequester local cell-secreted ECM characteristic of each cell type. The synthetic hydrogel combines peptides with off-the-shelf reagents and is thus accessible to cell biology labs. Specifically, we first identified a single peptide as suitable for initial attachment of both endometrial epithelial and stromal cells using a 2D semi-empirical screen. Then, using a co-culture system of epithelial cells cultured on top of gel-encapsulated stromal cells, we show that inclusion of ECM-binding peptides in the hydrogel, along with the integrin-binding peptide, leads to enhanced accumulation of basement membrane beneath the epithelial layer and more fibrillar collagen matrix assembly by stromal cells over two weeks in culture. Importantly, endometrial co-cultures composed of either cell lines or primary cells displayed hormone-mediated differentiation as assessed by morphological changes and secretory protein production. A multiplex analysis of apical cytokine and growth factor secretion comparing cell lines and primary cells revealed strikingly different patterns, underscoring the importance of using primary cell models in analysis of cell-cell communication networks. In summary, we define a "one-size-fits-all" synthetic ECM that enables long-term, physiologically responsive co-cultures of epithelial and stromal cells in a mucosal barrier format.

Abstract
A leading strategy in tissue engineering is the design of biomimetic scaffolds that stimulate the body's repair mechanisms through the recruitment of endogenous stem cells to sites of injury. Approaches that employ the use of chemoattractant gradients to guide tissue regeneration without external cell sources are favored over traditional cell-based therapies that have limited potential for clinical translation. Following this concept, bioactive scaffolds can be engineered to provide a temporally and spatially controlled release of biological cues, with the possibility to mimic the complex signaling patterns of endogenous tissue regeneration. Another effective way to regulate stem cell activity is to leverage the inherent chemotactic properties of extracellular matrix (ECM)-based materials to build versatile cell-instructive platforms. This review introduces the concept of endogenous stem cell recruitment, and provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies available to achieve effective cardiovascular and bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Cell-based therapies for cartilage repair are continually being developed to treat osteoarthritis. The cells are either introduced directly by intra-articular injection or via a cell-seeded matrix scaffold. Here, poly(vinylalcohol)-based membranes are developed to be used for mesenchymal stem cell implantation in cartilage repair procedures, having controllable physicochemical properties such as porosity, mechanical strength, and permeability, and a unique self-sealing property. The membranes possess a bilayer structure with a less porous layer providing mechanical strength and selective permeability, exhibit an elastic modulus of between 0.3 and 0.9 MPa, and are permeable to molecules <40 kDa, which is in the range of cartilage permeability. Three different peptide ligands with the sequences Ac-GCGYGRGDSPG, Ac-GCG(OPG)4REGOFG(OPG)4, and Ac-GCG(OPG)7, respectively, are conjugated to the membranes and subject to in vitro cell adhesion and differentiation assays. Col I/Col II gene expression ratios indicated that the collagen-mimetic peptide, Ac-GCG(OPG)7, best supported mesenchymal stem cell differentiation into the chondrogenic lineage. Although low retention of the membrane is observed in vivo in a rabbit knee model, results suggest that the membrane was able to facilitate mesenchymal stem cell implantation and differentiation to chondrocytes. These PVA-based membranes provide a feasible, synthetic, off-the-shelf material for the delivery of stem cells, and can be modified for other surgical applications.

Abstract
The modification of the surface of surgical implants with cell adhesion ligands has emerged as a promising approach to improve biomaterial-host interactions. However, these approaches are limited by the non-specific adsorption of biomolecules and uncontrolled presentation of desired bioactive ligands on implant surfaces. This leads to sub-optimal integration with host tissue and delayed healing. Here we present a strategy to grow non-fouling polymer brushes of oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate by atom transfer radical polymerization from dopamine-functionalized clinical grade 316 stainless steel. These brushes prevent non-specific adsorption of proteins and attachment of cells. Subsequently, the brushes can be modified with covalently tethered adhesive peptides that provide controlled cell adhesion. This approach may therefore have broad application to promote bone growth and improvements in osseointegration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Stainless steel (SS) implants are widely used clinically for orthopaedic, spinal, dental and cardiovascular applications. However, non-specific adsorption of biomolecules onto implant surfaces results in sub-optimal integration with host tissue. To allow controlled cell-SS interactions, we have developed a strategy to grow non-fouling polymer brushes that prevent protein adsorption and cell adhesion and can be subsequently functionalized with adhesive peptides to direct cell adhesion and signaling. This approach has broad application to improve osseointegration onto stainless steel implants in bone repair.

Abstract
It has been well recognized that the modification of biomaterials with appropriate bioactive peptides could further enhance their functions. Especially, it has been shown that peptide-modified bone repair materials could promote new bone formation more efficiently compared with conventional ones. The purpose of this article is to give a general review of recent studies on bioactive peptide-modified materials for bone tissue repair. Firstly, the main peptides for inducing bone regeneration and commonly used methods to prepare peptide-modified bone repair materials are introduced. Then, current in vitro and in vivo research progress of peptide-modified composites used as potential bone repair materials are reviewed and discussed. Generally speaking, the recent related studies have fully suggested that the modification of bone repair materials with osteogenic-related peptides provide promising strategies for the development of bioactive materials and substrates for enhanced bone regeneration and the therapy of bone tissue diseases. Furthermore, we have proposed some research trends in the conclusion and perspectives part.

Abstract
Therapies using T cells that are programmed to express chimeric antigen receptors (CAR T cells) consistently produce positive results in patients with hematologic malignancies. However, CAR T cell treatments are less effective in solid tumors for several reasons. First, lymphocytes do not efficiently target CAR T cells; second, solid tumors create an immunosuppressive microenvironment that inactivates T cell responses; and third, solid cancers are typified by phenotypic diversity and thus include cells that do not express proteins targeted by the engineered receptors, enabling the formation of escape variants that elude CAR T cell targeting. Here, we have tested implantable biopolymer devices that deliver CAR T cells directly to the surfaces of solid tumors, thereby exposing them to high concentrations of immune cells for a substantial time period. In immunocompetent orthotopic mouse models of pancreatic cancer and melanoma, we found that CAR T cells can migrate from biopolymer scaffolds and eradicate tumors more effectively than does systemic delivery of the same cells. We have also demonstrated that codelivery of stimulator of IFN genes (STING) agonists stimulates immune responses to eliminate tumor cells that are not recognized by the adoptively transferred lymphocytes. Thus, these devices may improve the effectiveness of CAR T cell therapy in solid tumors and help protect against the emergence of escape variants.

Abstract
Bone tissue healing is a dynamic process that is initiated by the recruitment of osteoprogenitor cells followed by their migration, proliferation, differentiation, and development of a mineralizing extracellular matrix. The work aims to manufacture a functionalized porous membrane that stimulates early events in bone healing for initiating a regenerative cascade. Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly is proposed to modify the surface of osteoconductive electrospun meshes, based on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) and nanohydroxyapatite, by using poly(allylamine hydrochloride) and poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) as polyelectrolytes. Molecular cues are incorporated by grafting peptide fragments into the discrete nanolayers. KRSR (lysine-arginine-serine-arginine) sequence is grafted to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation, NSPVNSKIPKACCVPTELSAI to guide bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiation in osteoblasts, and FHRRIKA (phenylalanine-histidine-arginine-arginine-isoleucine-lysine-alanine) to improve mineralization matrix formation. Scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrate the successful surface functionalization. Furthermore, the peptide incorporation enhances cellular processes, with good viability and significant increase of alkaline phosphatase activity, osteopontin, and osteocalcin. The functionalized membrane induces a favorable in vivo response after implantation for four weeks in nonhealing rat calvarial defect model. It is concluded that the multilayer nanoencapsulation of biofunctional peptides using LbL approach has significant potential as innovative manufacturing technique to improve bone regeneration in orthopedic and craniofacial medical devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment for long bone defects has been a hot topic in the field of regenerative medicine. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of calcium sulfate (CS) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on long bone defect restoration. METHODS A radial bone defect model was constructed through an osteotomy using New Zealand rabbits. The rabbits were randomly divided into four groups (n = 10 in each group): a CS combined with PRP (CS-PRP) group, a CS group, a PRP group, and a positive (recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2) control group. PRP was prepared from autologous blood using a two-step centrifugation process. CS-PRP was obtained by mixing hemihydrate CS with PRP. Radiographs and histologic micrographs were generated. The percentage of bone regenerated bone area in each rabbit was calculated at 10 weeks. One-way analysis of variance was performed in this study. RESULTS The radiographs and histologic micrographs showed bone restoration in the CS-PRP and positive control groups, while nonunion was observed in the CS and PRP groups. The percentages of bone regenerated bone area in the CS-PRP (84.60 ± 2.87%) and positive control (52.21 ± 4.53%) groups were significantly greater than those in the CS group (12.34 ± 2.17%) and PRP group (16.52 ± 4.22%) (P < 0.001). In addition, the bone strength of CS-PRP group (43.10 ± 4.10%) was significantly greater than that of the CS group (20.10 ± 3.70%) or PRP group (25.10 ± 2.10%) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION CS-PRP functions as an effective treatment for long bone defects through stimulating bone regeneration and enhancing new bone strength.

Abstract
Regenerating articular cartilage and fibrocartilaginous tissue such as the meniscus is still a challenge in orthopedic medicine. While a range of different scaffolds have been developed for joint repair, none have facilitated the development of a tissue that mimics the complexity of soft tissues such as articular cartilage. Furthermore, many of these scaffolds are not designed to function in mechanically challenging joint environments. The overall goal of this study was to develop a porous, biomimetic, shape-memory alginate scaffold for directing cartilage regeneration. To this end, a scaffold was designed with architectural cues to guide cellular and neo-tissue alignment, which was additionally functionalized with a range of extracellular matrix cues to direct stem cell differentiation toward the chondrogenic lineage. Shape-memory properties were introduced by covalent cross-linking alginate using carbodiimide chemistry, while the architecture of the scaffold was modified using a directional freezing technique. Introducing such an aligned pore structure was found to improve the mechanical properties of the scaffold, and promoted higher levels of sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAG) and collagen deposition compared to an isotropic (nonaligned) pore geometry when seeded with adult human stem cells. Functionalization with collagen improved stem cell recruitment into the scaffold and facilitated more homogenous cartilage tissue deposition throughout the construct. Incorporating type II collagen into the scaffolds led to greater cell proliferation, higher sGAG and collagen accumulation, and the development of a stiffer tissue compared to scaffolds functionalized with type I collagen. The results of this study demonstrate how both scaffold architecture and composition can be tailored in a shape-memory alginate scaffold to direct stem cell differentiation and support the development of complex cartilaginous tissues.

Abstract
Molecular signals in the form of growth factors are the main modulators of cell behavior. However, the use of growth factors in tissue engineering has several drawbacks, including their costs, difficult production, immunogenicity and short half-life. Furthermore, many of them are pleiotropic and, since a single growth factor can have different active domains, their effect is not always fully controllable. A very interesting alternative that has recently emerged is the use of biomimetic peptides. Sequences derived from the active domains of soluble or extracellular matrix proteins can be used to functionalize the biomaterials used as scaffolds for new tissue growth to either direct the attachment of cells or to be released as soluble ligands. Since these short peptides can be easily designed and cost-effectively synthesized in vitro, their use has opened up a world of new opportunities to obtain cheaper and more effective implants for regenerative medicine strategies. In this extensive review we will go through many of the most important peptides with potential interest for bone tissue engineering, not limiting to those that only mediate cell adhesion or induce the osteogenic differentiation of progenitor cells, but also focusing on those that direct angiogenesis because of its close relation with bone formation.

Abstract
Three-dimensional cell culturing provides an appealing biomimetic platform to probe the biological effects of a designed extracellular matrix on the behavior of seeded neural stem or neural progenitor cells. This culturing model serves as an important tool to investigate functional regulators involved in proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells. This study aims to reconstruct a polypeptide hydrogel matrix functionally integrated with cyclo-RGD motif [c(RGDfK)] for initial exploration of neural progenitor cell behavior in three-dimensional culture. Three types of hydrogel scaffolds including Type I collagen, RADA16 self-assembly peptide, and RADA16-c(RGDfK) self-assembly peptide hydrogel were employed to serve as the culturing extracellular matrix of neonatal rat spinal neural progenitor cells. The neural adhesion of functionalized self-assembly peptide hydrogel was acquired prior to its RADA16 counterpart with neural progenitor cell seeding tests. The biophysiological properties of self-assembly peptide hydrogel scaffolds were then detected by scanning electron microscopy and rheology measurements. The biological behavior of embedded neural progenitor cells including cell proliferation and differentiation in three-dimensional niche were analyzed by MTT [(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide)] tests and immunocytochemistry fluorescence staining. The 1% (w/v) RADA16-c(RGDfK) hydrogel scaffold [R16-c(RGDfK)HS] demonstrated an elastic modulus(312 ± 5.7 Pa) compatible with central neural cells, which significantly facilitated the proliferation of embedded neural progenitor cells. Compared to collagen hydrogel, both RADA16 and RADA16-c(RGDfK) hydrogel scaffold improved the cellular proliferation and neuronal differentiation of neural progenitor cells in a three-dimensional culture model. In order to model neuronal regeneration, introduction of neurotrophin-3 in the differentiation environment significantly increased the neuronal differentiation in which the ratio of Tuj-1-positive cell number increased to 72.5% ± 4.7% in the c(RGDfK)-functionalized three-dimensional matrix environment at 7 days in culture. Collectively, the present R16-c(RGDfK)HS displays excellent central neural biocompatibility and emerges as a promising bioengineered extracellular matrix niche of neural stem or progenitor cells, building a solid foundation for the subsequent in vitro and in vivo studies including neural repair, regeneration, and development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone tissue engineering and the research surrounding peptides has expanded significantly over the last few decades. Several peptides have been shown to support and stimulate the bone healing response and have been proposed as therapeutic vehicles for clinical use. The aim of this comprehensive review is to present the clinical and experimental studies analysing the potential role of peptides for bone healing and bone regeneration. METHODS A systematic review according to PRISMA guidelines was conducted. Articles presenting peptides capable of exerting an upregulatory effect on osteoprogenitor cells and bone healing were included in the study. RESULTS Based on the available literature, a significant amount of experimental in vitro and in vivo evidence exists. Several peptides were found to upregulate the bone healing response in experimental models and could act as potential candidates for future clinical applications. However, from the available peptides that reached the level of clinical trials, the presented results are limited. CONCLUSION Further research is desirable to shed more light into the processes governing the osteoprogenitor cellular responses. With further advances in the field of biomimetic materials and scaffolds, new treatment modalities for bone repair will emerge.
