Abstract
BACKGROUND: Hydroxyapatite bioceramic is a kind of bone implant commonly used in oral clinic treatment. In the early stage of tissue repair, cells will suffer hypoxic due to the interruption of blood supply. OBJECTIVE: Studying the expression of osteoblasts in hypoxic environment will help us to understand the expression and response mechanism of osteoblasts at the implantation site of hydroxyapatite in the early stage of hypoxia. METHODS: MG63 osteoblast cell line was used in this study. The cells of normal group were incubated under normal oxygen and hydroxyapatite ceramics condition. The cells of hypoxia group were incubated under hypoxia (37∘C, 8% CO2, 8% O2, 86% N2) and hydroxyapatite ceramics condition. Cell proliferation was measured by CCK8 assay. Apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured by ALP kit. Hypoxia inducible factor (HIF-α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared to the normal group, the cells of hypoxia group showed a dramatically higher proliferation ability, especially at 48 h (P< 0.05). Due to hypoxia, cell apoptosis was induced, but there is no difference between these two groups. Interestingly, the ALP activity of hypoxia group was higher than that of normal group at 24 h and 48 h (P< 0.05). Mechanically, western blot result showed that the protein level of both HIF-α and VEGF were up-regulated in hypoxia group. CONCLUSIONS: Under hypoxia condition, hydroxyapatite bioceramics can promote the proliferation of MG63 osteoblasts, elevate the activity of alkaline phosphatase and upregulate HIF-α and VEGF expression without effect on apoptosis.

Abstract
The use of biomaterials in medicine is not recent, and in the last few decades, the research and development of biocompatible materials had emerged. Hydroxyapatite (HAp), a calcium phosphate that constitutes a large part of the inorganic composition of human bones and teeth, has been used as an interesting bioceramic material. Among its applications, HAp has been used to carry antitumor drugs, such as doxorubicin, cisplatin, and gemcitabine. Such HAp-based composites have an essential role in anticancer drug delivery systems, including the treatment of osteosarcoma. In addition, the association of this bioceramic with magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) has also been used as an effective agent of local magnetic hyperthermia. Further, the combined approach of the aforementioned techniques (HAp scaffolds combined with anti-tumor drugs and MNPs) is also an attractive therapeutical alternative. Considering the promising role of the use of bioceramics in modern medicine, we proposed this review, presenting an updated perspective on the use of HAp in the treatment of cancer, especially osteosarcoma. Finally, after giving the current progress in this field, we highlight the urgent need for efforts to provide a better understanding of their potential applications.

Abstract
The integration of biomaterials with cells for high overall performances is vitally important in tissue engineering, as scaffold-free cell sheet lacks enough mechanical performance and cell viability while cell-free scaffold possesses limited biological functions. In this study, we propose a new strategy to strengthen cell sheets and enhance cell activity for accelerating wound healing based on a novel sandwich structure of cell sheet-plasmid@membrane-cell sheet (CpMC). Specifically, the CpMC contains two adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) sheets on outer surfaces and an electrospun gelatin/chitosan nanofibrous membrane (NFM) encapsulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plasmids in between. The physicochemical properties of NFM including swelling, stiffness, strength, elasticity, and biodegradation can be tailored by simply adjusting the ratio between gelatin and chitosan to be 7:3 which is optimal for most effectively supporting ADSCs adhesion and proliferation. The swelling/biodegradation of NFM mediates the sustained release of encapsulated VEGF plasmids into adjacent ADSCs, and NFM assists VEGF plasmids to promote the differentiation of ADSCs into endothelial, epidermal, and fibroblast cells, in support of the neoangiogenesis and regeneration of cutaneous tissues within 2 weeks. The proposed membrane-supporting cell sheet strategy provides a new route to tissue engineering, and the developed CpMC demonstrates a high potential for clinical translation.

Abstract
Due to the complexity of surgery for large-area bone injuries, implanting a large volume of materials into the injury site remains a big challenge in orthopedics. To solve this difficulty, in this study, a series of biomimetic hydroxyapatite/shape-memory composite scaffolds were designed and synthesized with programmable pore structures, based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), polytetrahydrofuran (PTMG) and the osteoconductive hydroxyapatite (HA). The obtained scaffolds presented various pore structures, high connectivity, tunable mechanical properties, and excellent shape memory performance. Moreover, the mineralization activity of the developed scaffolds could enhance the formation of hydroxyapatite and they showed good biocompatibility in vitro. The in vivo experiments show that scaffolds could promote the formation of new bone in critical size cranial defects. The programmable porous scaffold biomaterials exhibited potential application promise in bone regeneration.

Abstract
The idea of creating replacement for damaged or diseased tissue, which will mimic the physiological conditions and simultaneously promote regeneration by patients’ own cells, has been a major challenge in the biomedicine for more than a decade. Therefore, nanofibers are a promising solution to address these challenges. Nanofiber technology is an exciting area attracting the attention of many researchers as a potential solution to these current challenges in the biomedical field such as burn and wound care, organ repair, and treatment for osteoporosis and various diseases. Nanofibers mimic the porous topography of natural extracellular matrix (ECM), hence they are advantageous for tissue regeneration . In biomedical engineering, electrospinning exhibits advantages as a tissue engineering scaffolds producer, which can make appropriate resemblance in physical structure with ECM. This is because of the nanometer scale of ECM fibrils in diameter, which can be mimicked by electrospinning procedure as well as its porous structure. In this review, the applications of nanofibers in various biomedical areas such as tissue engineering, wound dressing and facemask, are summarized. It provides opportunities to develop new materials and techniques that improve the ability for developing quick, sensitive and reliable analytical techniques.

Abstract
Porosity is one of the parameters of scaffold pore structure that must be developed using paraffin wax as a synthetic polymer for making porous bioceramics carbonated hydroxyapatite (CHA). This study fabricated CHA based on abalone mussel shells (Halioitis asinina); CHA/paraffin wax nanocomposite scaffolds were synthesized using paraffin wax with concentration variations of 10, 20, and 30 wt.%. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results showed that the Ca/P molar ratio of CHA was 1.72, which approaches the natural bone. The addition of paraffin wax in all concentration variation treatments caused the crystallographic properties of the CHA/paraffin wax nanocomposite scaffolds to decrease. The results of pore analysis suggest that the high concentration of paraffin wax in the CHA suspension is involved in the formation of more pores on the surface of the scaffold, but only CHA/paraffin wax 30 wt.% had a scaffold with potential to be used in media with a cellular growth orientation. The micropore analysis was also supported by the cell viability assay results for CHA/paraffin wax 30 wt.% nanocomposite scaffold, where serial doses of scaffold concentrations to mouse osteoblast cells were secure. Overall, based on this analysis, the CHA/paraffin wax scaffold can be a candidate for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an optimized approach for bone regeneration to overcome the disadvantages of lacking donors. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, simulation of extracellular matrix (ECM), and excellent mechanical properties are essential characteristics of BTE scaffold, sometimes including drug loading capacity. Electrospinning is a simple technique to prepare fibrous scaffolds because of its efficiency, adaptability, and flexible preparation of electrospinning solution. Recent studies about electrospinning in BTE are summarized in this review. First, we summarized various types of polymers used in electrospinning and methods of electrospinning in recent work. Then, we divided them into three parts according to their main role in BTE, (1) ECM simulation, (2) mechanical support, and (3) drug delivery system.

Abstract
Substrates that are simultaneously thin, strong, optically transparent, and biocompatible have diverse applications in a range of fundamental and applied fields. While nature-derived materials offer advantages of sustainability and inherent biocompatibility compared to synthetic polymers, their brittleness and swelling, as well as surface charge and chemical functionalization non-conducive to cell growth, can hinder widespread application. In this work, we discuss the fabrication and systematic characterization of polydopamine-coated chitosan thin films. Chitosan is a widely used, partially deacetylated form of chitin, derived from crustaceans and arthropods. Polydopamine (PDA) is derived from chemistries mimicking mussel foot adhesive proteins. A facile dip-coating process of thin and flexible, uncrosslinked chitosan films in aqueous dopamine solutions leads to dramatic changes in physical and chemical properties. We show how the PDA forms time-dependent assemblies on the film surfaces, affecting surface roughness, hydrophilicity, and mechanical strength. Coating the surface for even a few seconds provides functional changes to the films. Our results shows that the optimal coating time is on the order of few hours, whereby the films are optically transparent with excellent extensibility and Young’s modulus, while further coating reduces the benefits of this surface coating. These materials are biocompatible, serving as substrates for cell adhesion and growth while maintaining good viability. Overall, these findings give insight to the effects of PDA assembly on surfaces, and illustrate how a simple, quick, and robust bioinspired coating process can prime substrates for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, biosensing, and wound healing.

Abstract
Bone-like apatite is a promising coating of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) for bone implantation. Poly(aryl ether nitrile ketone) containing phthalazinone moiety (PPENK) is a novel alternative for its easy synthesis. Here, chitosan/gelatin hybrid hydrogel coating is applied to induce the formation of apatite on the surface of PPENK substrate through biomineralization to improve its biocompatibility and osteogenic property. PPENK possessing allyl groups (PPENK-d) are synthesized and spin-coated on PPENK substrate to impart reactive groups. The hydrogel coating is prepared by the ultraviolet crosslinking of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and chitosan methacrylate (CSMA) on PPENK substrate. PPENK-d, GelMA, and CSMA are characterized by 1 H-NMR to confirm the designed structures. The presence of chitosan increases the chelation of calcium ions and thus induces the nucleation of apatite. The microstructural and compositional results reveal that the chitosan-containing hydrogel coating induced apatite coating yields a higher apatite quantity compared to the gelatin hydrogel coating. The apatite coatings on PPENK substrate promote the cytocompatibility and osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts in vitro.

Abstract
Chitosan is the most abundant natural biopolymer, after cellulose. It is mainly derived from the fungi, shrimp's shells, and exoskeleton of crustaceans, through the deacetylation of chitin. The ecological sustainability associated with its exercise and the flexibility of chitosan owing to its active functional hydroxyl and amino groups makes it a promising candidate for a wide range of applications through a variety of modifications. The biodegradability and biocompatibility of chitosan and its derivatives along with their various chemical functionalities make them promising carriers for pharmaceutical, nutritional, medicinal, environmental, agriculture, drug delivery, and biotechnology applications. The present work aims to provide a detailed and organized description of modified chitosan and its derivatives-based nanomaterials for biomedical applications. We addressed the biological and physicochemical benefits of nanocomposite materials made up of chitosan and its derivatives in various formulations, including improved physicochemical stability and cells/tissue interaction, controlled drug release, and increased bioavailability and efficacy in clinical practice. Moreover, several modification techniques and their effective utilization are also reviewed and collected in this review.

Abstract
Bone regenerative engineering provides a great platform for bone tissue regeneration covering cells, growth factors and other dynamic forces for fabricating scaffolds. Diversified biomaterials and their fabrication methods have emerged for fabricating patient specific bioactive scaffolds with controlled microstructures for bridging complex bone defects. The goal of this review is to summarize the points of scaffold design as well as applications for bone regeneration based on both electrospinning and 3D bioprinting. It first briefly introduces biological characteristics of bone regeneration and summarizes the applications of different types of material and the considerations for bone regeneration including polymers, ceramics, metals and composites. We then discuss electrospinning nanofibrous scaffold applied for the bone regenerative engineering with various properties, components and structures. Meanwhile, diverse design in the 3D bioprinting scaffolds for osteogenesis especially in the role of drug and bioactive factors delivery are assembled. Finally, we discuss challenges and future prospects in the development of electrospinning and 3D bioprinting for osteogenesis and prominent strategies and directions in future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Bone defect is serious condition that is usually caused by traffic accident. Chitosan is a polymer developed as a scaffold to treat bone defect. However, the mechanism by which chitosan can accelerate bone growth in defect area is still unclear. This study aims to identify proteins which are crucial to the osteogenic properties of chitosan monomer using an in silico study. METHODS Molecular docking was carried out on chitosan monomer, which are d-glucosamine and glucosamine 6-phosphate units against bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), fibronectin, fibroblast growth factor (Fgf), and phosphate transporter (PiT) using AutoDock Vina. Ligand preparation was carried out using Chem3D version 15.0.0.106, while protein preparation was performed using AutoDockTools version 1.5.6. RESULTS The results showed that glucosamine 6-phosphate had the best binding affinity with fibronectin and PiT, which was -5.7 kcal mol-1 on both proteins, while d-glucosamine had the best binding affinity with PiT (-5.2 kcal mol-1). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the osteogenic properties of chitosan may be due to the presence of bonds between glucosamine units and fibronectin and/or PiT. However, in vitro studies need to be done to prove this.

Abstract
The novelty of the research involves designing the measurement methodology aimed at determining the structure-property relationships in the chitosan-based hydrogels containing yellow tea extract. Performed investigations allowed us to determine the swelling properties of hydrogels in selected time intervals, evaluate the mutual interactions between the hydrogels and simulated physiological liquids via pH measurements and directly assess the impact of such interactions on the chemical structure of hydrogels using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and their wettability by the measurements of the flatness of the drop on the surface of the tested samples via the static drop method. Next, the surface morphology of hydrogels was characterized by the Scanning Electron Miscorcopy (SEM) and their elasticity under the tension applied was also verified. It was proved that incubation in simulated physiological liquids resulted in a decrease in contact angles of hydrogels, even by 60%. This also caused their certain degradation which was reflected in lower intensities of bands on FT-IR spectra. Further, 23% v/v yellow tea extract in hydrogel matrices caused the decrease of their tensile strength. An increase in the amount of the crosslinker resulted in a decrease in the sorption capacity of hydrogels wherein their modification caused greater swelling ability. In general, the investigations performed provided much information on the tested materials which may be meaningful considering their application, e.g., as dressing materials.

Abstract
Here, we fabricated the platelet-rich fibrin (PRF)-loaded PCL/chitosan (PCL/CS-PRF) core-shell nanofibrous scaffold through a coaxial electrospinning method. Our goal was to evaluate the effect of CS-RPF in the core layer of the nanofibrous on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (HMSCs). The elastic modulus of PCL/CS-PRF core-shell scaffold (44 MPa) was about 1.5-fold of PCL/CS scaffold (25 MPa). The specific surface area of the scaffolds increased from 9.98 m2/g for PCL/CS scaffold to 16.66 m2/g for the PCL/CS-PRF core-shell nanofibrous scaffold. Moreover, the release rate of PRF from PCL/CS-PRF nanofibrous scaffold was measured to be 24.50% after 10 days which showed slow and sustained release of PRF from the nanofibrous. The formation of Ca-P on the surface of scaffold immersed in simulated body fluid solution indicated the suitable osteoconductivity of PCL/CS-PRF core-shell nanofibrous scaffold. Also, the value of ALP activity and calcium deposited on the surface of PCL/CS-PRF core-shell nanofibrous scaffold were 81.97 U/L and 40.33 μg/scaffold, respectively after 14 days, which confirmed the significantly higher amounts of ALP and calcium deposition on the scaffold containing PRF compared to PCL/CS scaffold. Due to higher hydrophilicity and porosity of PCL/CS-PRF core-shell nanofibrous scaffold compared to PCL/CS scaffold, a better bone cell growth on surface of PCL/CS-PRF scaffold was observed. The Alizarin red-positive area was significantly higher on PCL/CS-PRF scaffold compared to PCL/CS scaffold, indicating more calcium deposition and osteogenic differentiation of HMSCs in the presence of PRF. Our findings demonstrate that PCL/CS-PRF core-shell scaffolds can provide a strong construct with improved osteogenic for bone tissue engineering applications.

Probiotic bacteria cell surface-associated protein mineralized hydroxyapatite incorporated in porous scaffold: In vitro evaluation for bone cell growth and differentiation. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 126:112101. [PMID: 34082927 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Revised: 03/18/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
There is a high demand for synthesis of biocompatible hydroxyapatite nanoparticle (HANP), which is a key component in bone tissue engineering scaffolds. The present study describes a facile route of HANP synthesis through mineralization of the cell surface-associated protein (CSP) from the human probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG. CSP extract from the LAB (consisting of ~66 kDa, ~47 kDa, ~40 kDa and ~25 kDa protein) was mineralized to yield spindle-shaped HANPs having an average particle length of 371 nm as evidenced in FETEM analysis. CSP-mineralized HANPs (CSP-HANPs) were characterized by FTIR and BET analysis, while XRD and SAED analysis indicated their crystalline nature. Mechanistic studies suggested the key role of ~25 kDa CSP (F4SP) in mineralization. In contrast to CSP-HANPs, F4SP-mineralized crystalline HA was plate-shaped having an average length of 1.68 μm and breadth of 0.95 μm. HANP mineralization at the whole-cell (WC) level resulted in clusters of aggregated HANPs (WC-HANPs) adhering onto L. rhamnosus GG cells as evident in FETEM, FESEM and AFM analysis. FETEM analysis revealed that the desorbed WC-HANPs recovered by cell lysis were needle-shaped, with a particle size distribution of 70-110 nm. Given that CSP-HANPs were non-toxic to cultured HEK 293 cells and osteoblast-like MG-63 cells, chitosan-gelatin (CG) scaffold incorporated with 15% w/v CSP-HANP (H-CG) was generated and tested for bone cell growth. H-CG exhibited a favorable pore size distribution (160-230 μm), overall porosity (~84%) and biodegradation profile. H-CG scaffold was conducive to osteogenesis and rendered enhanced proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium mineralization and heightened marker gene expression (ALP, Col I, Runx2 and OCN) in seeded MG-63 cells. CSP sourced from a safe probiotic LAB is thus a viable and effective mineralization template for synthesis of biocompatible HANPs that can be leveraged for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Loss of skin integrity can lead to serious problems and even death. In this study, for the first time, the effect of exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by cold-adapted yeast R. mucilaginosa sp. GUMS16 on a full-thickness wound in rats was evaluated. The GUMS16 strain's EPS was precipitated by adding cold ethanol and then lyophilized. Afterward, the EPS with polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin was fabricated into nanofibers with two single-needle and double-needle procedures. The rats' full-thickness wounds were treated with nanofibers and Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson's Trichrome staining was done for studying the wound healing in rats. Obtained results from SEM, DLS, FTIR, and TGA showed that EPS has a carbohydrate chemical structure with an average diameter of 40 nm. Cell viability assessments showed that the 2% EPS loaded sample exhibits the highest cell activity. Moreover, in vivo implantation of nanofiber webs on the full-thickness wound on rat models displayed a faster healing rate when EPS was loaded into a nanofiber. These results suggest that the produced EPS can be used for skin tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Chitosan and gelatin have been extensively used in tissue engineering for a wide range of different applications, such as wound healing or bone regeneration, due to their advantages: excellent biocompatibility (promoting cell adhesion and proliferation), low price and biodegradability. Nonetheless, their main drawback is that they have poor mechanical properties, consequently restricting their use in bone tissue engineering. In previous studies, both materials were cross-linked, with added calcium minerals, which led to an improvement in both mechanical and biological properties. Therefore, this study carries out a mechanical and biological characterization of mineral-hydrogel scaffolds in order to find the best compositions. Different proportions of calcium compounds (CaCO3 and CaHPO4) are used to make up between 20% and 30% of the minerals used in a mineral-hydrogel mix. This addition of minerals enhances not only the mechanical properties, but also the biological ones. On the one hand, the higher the amount of minerals added to the composition, the better the mechanical properties obtained. Additionally, as the proportion of CaCO3 in comparison with CaHPO4 rises, the mechanical properties improve. On the other hand, both cell proliferation and mineralization are improved with the addition of calcium minerals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Blood supply remains one of the obstacles to large bone tissue engineering. This study aimed to generate vascularized bone tissue by inducing axial vascularization into a construct combining natural coral scaffold and a bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) sheet. MATERIAL AND METHODS Isolated BMSCs were cultured to form an osteogenic cell sheet using a continuous culture method. Natural coral scaffolds were prepared into customized shape with a cylinder of 20 mm length, 8 mm in outer diameter and 5 mm in inner diameter. Then, the freed superficial inferior epigastric vessel of rabbits was first wrapped with a cell sheet, and then inserted into the central passage of the scaffold, after being wrapped with another cell sheet, the complexes were implanted subcutaneously into a rabbit groin area. In contrast, the sheet-scaffold construct that implanted into groin subcutaneous area of the other side of the same rabbit with the distal end of the blood vessel was ligated, which was considered as control. New bone and vascularization formation were evaluated at 12 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS The volume of new bone formation and amount of capillary infiltration in the vascular circulation group were significantly greater than that in the vascular ligation group, which suggested that insertion of axial vessels could significantly promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis of the tissue-engineered bone. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that inserting an arteriovenous bundle into the constructs of mesenchymal stem cell sheet and coral has great potential for clinical applications to repair large bone defects.

Abstract
Background The application of bioceramic hydroxyapatite (HA) derived from materials high in calcium to tissue engineering has been of concern, namely scaffold. Scaffold pores allow for cell mobility metabolic processes, and delivery of oxygen and nutrients by blood vessel. Thus, pore architecture affects cell seeding efficiency, cell viability, migration, morphology, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, angiogenesis, mechanical strength of scaffolds, and, eventually, bone formation. Therefore, to improve the efficacy of bone regeneration, several important parameters of the pore architecture of scaffolds must be carefully controlled, including pore size, geometry, orientation, uniformity, interconnectivity, and porosity, which are interrelated and whose coordination affects the effectiveness of bone tissue engineering. The honeycomb (HCB) as natural polymeric porogen is used to pore forming agent of scaffolds. It is unique for fully interconnected and oriented pores of uniform size and high mechanical strength in the direction of the pores. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate the effect of HCB concentration on macropore structure of the scaffolds. Methods Bioceramic hydroxyapatite (HA) was synthesized from abalone mussel shells (Halioitis asinina) using a precipitation method, and HA-based scaffolds were fabricated with honeycomb (HCB) as the porogen agent. Pore structure engineering was successfully carried out using HCB at concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 wt%. Results The Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis revealed that the Ca/P molar ratio of HA was 1.67 (the stoichiometric ratio of HA). The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra results for porous HA-based scaffolds and synthesized HA showed that no chemical decomposition occurred in the HA-based scaffold fabrication process. The porosity of the scaffold tended to increase when higher concentrations of HCB were added. XRD data show that the HCB was completely degraded from the scaffold material. The cell metabolic activity and morphology of the HA + HCB 30 wt% scaffold enable it to facilitate the attachment of MC3T3E1 cells on its surface. Conclusion HCB 30 wt% is the best concentration to fabricate the scaffold corresponding to the criteria for pores structure, crystallographic properties, chemical decomposition process and cell viability for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The development of industrialization and agricultural activities have carried various negative impacts to living organisms in recent decades and also, the frequent problem of inorganic pollution have been environmental anxiety to the community. Among these, Cr6+ and F- are priority poisonous pollutants from many industries. In this work, we present a low-cost synthesis procedure to obtain biocompatible zirconium incorporated chitosan-gelatin composite (CS-Zr-GEL) were fabricated and explored for the adsorptive removal of toxic Cr6+ and F- from water. The adsorption mechanism of toxic Cr6+ and F- was done by batch mode as a function of contact time, solution pH and co-existing ions. The obtained materials were extensively studied by several physico-chemical techniques to access their properties by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Additionally, the fabricated adsorbent is highly dependent on solution pH. The kinetic and isotherm data were fitted using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models. The maximum adsorption capacity for CS-Zr-GEL is 138.89 and 12.13 mg/g at 323K for Cr6+ and F- respectively. These findings demonstrate that the CS-Zr-GEL adsorbent represents a promising candidate that would have a practical influence on water/wastewater treatments.

Abstract
The metamorphosis of biodegradable polymers in biomedical applications is an auspicious myriad of indagation. The utmost challenge in clinical conditions includes trauma, organs failure, soft and hard tissues, infection, cancer and inflammation, congenital disorders which are still not medicated efficiently. To overcome this bone of contention, proliferation in the concatenation of biodegradable materials for clinical applications has emerged as a silver bullet owing to eco-friendly, nontoxicity, exorbitant mechanical properties, cost efficiency, and degradability. Several bioimplants are designed and fabricated in a way to reabsorb or degrade inside the body after performing the specific function rather than eliminating the bioimplants. The objective of this comprehensive is to unfurl the anecdote of emerging biological polymers derived implants including silk, lignin, soy, collagen, gelatin, chitosan, alginate, starch, etc. by explicating the selection, fabrication, properties, and applications. Into the bargain, emphasis on the significant characteristics of current discernment and purview of nanotechnology integrated biopolymeric implants has also been expounded. This robust contrivance shed light on recent inclinations and evolution in tissue regeneration and targeting organs followed by precedency and fly in the ointment concerning biodegradable implants evolved by employing fringe benefits provided by 3D printing technology for building tissues or organs construct for implantation.

The effects of alignment and diameter of electrospun fibers on the cellular behaviors and osteogenesis of BMSCs. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 120:111787.

Abstract
Electrospun fiber scaffolds, due to their mimicry of bone extracellular matrix (ECM), have become an important biomaterial widely applied in bone tissue engineering in recent years. While topographic cues of electrospun membranes such as alignment and diameter played vital roles in determining cellular behaviors. Yet few researches about the effects of these two significant parameters on osteogenesis have been reported. Thus, the present work explored the influence of aligned and random poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) fiber matrices with diameters of nanoscale (0.6 μm) and microscale (1.2 μm), respectively, on cellular responses of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), such as cell adhesion, migration, proliferation and osteogenesis. Our results revealed that aligned nanofibers (AN) could affect cell morphology and promote the migration of BMSCs after 24 h of cell culturing. Besides, AN group was observed to possess excellent biocompatibility and have significantly improved cell growth comparing with random nanofibers. More importantly, in vitro osteogenesis researches including ALP and Alizarin Red S staining, qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining demonstrated that BMSCs culturing on AN group exhibited higher osteogenic induction proficiency than that on aligned microfibers (AM) and random fiber substrates (RN and RM). Accordingly, aligned nanofiber scaffolds have greater application potential in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/polyvinyl pyrrolidone + poly(ethylene oxide) [PLGA/(PVP + PEO)] scaffolds with different polymer concentrations were fabricated using multilayered electrospinning, and their physicochemical properties and biocompatibility were examined to screen for scaffolds with excellent performance in tissue engineering (TE). PLGA solution (15% w/v) was used as the bottom solution, and a mixed solution of 12% w/v PVP + PEO was applied as the surface layer solution. The mass ratios of PVP vs. PEO in each 10 ml surface layer mixed solution were 1.08 g: 0.12 g; 0.96 g: 0.24 g; and 0.84 g: 0.36 g. Compared to the conventional electrospinning method used to fabricate the pure PVP + PEO (0.96 g: 0.24 g, Group A) scaffold and pure PLGA (Group E) scaffold, the multilayer electrospinning technique of alternating sprays of the bottom layer solution and the surface layer solution was adopted to fabricate multilayer nanofiber scaffolds, including PLGA/(PVP + PEO) (1.08 g: 0.12 g, Group B), PLGA/(PVP + PEO) (0.96 g: 0.24 g, Group C), and PLGA/(PVP + PEO) (0.84 g: 0.36 g, Group D). The morphology and characteristics of the five scaffolds were analyzed, and the biocompatibilities of the cell-scaffold composites were assessed through methods including Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) analysis, 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining, and scanning electron microscopy. Therefore, with a PVP-to-PEO mass ratio of 0.96 g: 0.24 g, an optimal multilayer nanofiber scaffold was fabricated by the multilayer electrospinning technique. The excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the scaffold were confirmed by in vitro experiments, which demonstrated the scaffold's promising application potential in the field of TE.

Abstract
Despite numerous advantages of using porous hydroxyapatite (HAp) scaffolds in bone regeneration, the material is limited in terms of osteoinduction. In this study, the porous scaffold made from nanosized HAp was coated with different concentrations of osteoinductive aqueous methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) solution (2.5, 5, 10, and 20%) and the corresponding MH scaffolds were referred to as MH2.5, MH5, MH10, and MH20, respectively. The results showed that all MH scaffolds resulted in burst release of MSM for up to 7 d. Cellular experiments were conducted using MC3T3-E1 preosteoblast cells, which showed no significant difference between the MH2.5 scaffold and the control with respect to the rate of cell proliferation (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between each group at day 4 for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, though the MH2.5 group showed higher level of activity than other groups at day 10. Calcium deposition, using alizarin red staining, showed that cell mineralization was significantly higher in the MH2.5 scaffold than that in the HAp scaffold (p < 0.0001). This study indicated that the MH2.5 scaffold has potential for both osteoinduction and osteoconduction in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Chitosan, derived from chitin, is a biopolymer consisting of arbitrarily distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine that exhibits outstanding properties- biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, antibacterial activity, the capacity to form films, and chelating of metal ions. Most of these peculiar properties are attributed to the presence of free protonable amino groups along the chitosan backbone, which also gives it solubility in acidic conditions. Moreover, this biopolymer can also be physically modified, thereby presenting a variety of forms to be developed. Consequently, this polysaccharide is used in various fields, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, and cancer treatment. In this sense, this review aims to gather the state-of-the-art concerning this polysaccharide when used as a biomaterial, providing information about its characteristics, chemical modifications, and applications. We present the most relevant and new information about this polysaccharide-based biomaterial's applications in distinct fields and also the ability of chitosan and its various derivatives to selectively permeate through the cancer cell membranes and exhibit anticancer activity, and the possibility of adding several therapeutic metal ions as a strategy to improve the therapeutic potential of this polymer.

Abstract
Chitosan is a natural, biodegradable cationic polysaccharide, which has a similar chemical structure and similar biological behaviors to the components of the extracellular matrix in the biomineralization process of teeth or bone. Its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and polyelectrolyte action make it a suitable organic template, which, combined with biomimetic mineralization technology, can be used to develop organic-inorganic composite materials for hard tissue repair. In recent years, various chitosan-based biomimetic organic-inorganic composite materials have been applied in the field of bone tissue engineering and enamel or dentin biomimetic repair in different forms (hydrogels, fibers, porous scaffolds, microspheres, etc.), and the inorganic components of the composites are usually biogenic minerals, such as hydroxyapatite, other calcium phosphate phases, or silica. These composites have good mechanical properties, biocompatibility, bioactivity, osteogenic potential, and other biological properties and are thus considered as promising novel materials for repairing the defects of hard tissue. This review is mainly focused on the properties and preparations of biomimetically mineralized composite materials using chitosan as an organic template, and the current application of various chitosan-based biomimetically mineralized composite materials in bone tissue engineering and dental hard tissue repair is summarized.

Abstract
Core decompression of the femoral head is a recommended head-conserving strategy for early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head. However, no ideal filling material has been found so far. In this study, we fabricated a "solid core-porous coating" composite scaffold, which is a silk fibroin/hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (SF/HPMC) scaffold, by a "two-step" process. The solid core scaffold possesses a sufficient compression modulus (860 MPa) for support, while the porous coating scaffold with controllable pore size and porosity provides a suitable microenvironment for the osteoblast cell to adhere and proliferate. Moreover, the porous coating scaffold was mineralized by adding different contents of hydroxyapatite crystal to further enhance its osteoinductivity, according to the simulated body fluid (SBF) biomineralization assay. To demonstrate the biocompatibility and osteoinductivity of such composite scaffolds, a series of in vitro experiments were performed, indicating the MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast cells grew and differentiated well on the mineralized porous coating scaffolds. The mechanical testing results also proved that the mechanical property of the solid core scaffold varied (230-1600 MPa) with different solid contents of SF/HPMC, as expected. Furthermore, the rabbit femoral head core decompression model was adopted and confirmed the excellent mechanical performance of the solid core scaffolds, as well as the satisfied osteoinductivity of the porous coating scaffold, by inserting the composite scaffolds into the bone tunnel in vivo. All of the preliminary results implied that the novel biodegradable composite scaffold has an outstanding prospective for the clinical use of core decompression of the femoral head.

Abstract
Many by-products that are harmful to the environment and human health are generated during food processing. However, these wastes are often potential resources with high-added value. For example, crustacean waste contains large amounts of chitin. Chitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in natural macromolecules, and is a typical component of crustaceans, mollusks, insect exoskeleton and fungal cell walls. Chitosan is prepared by deacetylation of chitin and a copolymer of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine through β-(1 → 4)-glycosidic bonds. Chitosan has better solubility, biocompatibility and degradability compared with chitin. This review introduces the preparation, physicochemical properties, chemical and physical modification methods of chitosan, which could help us understand its biological activities and applications. According to the latest reports, the antibacterial activity, antioxidant, immune and antitumor activities of chitosan and its derivatives are summarized. Simultaneously, the various applications of chitosan and its derivatives are reviewed, including food, chemical, textile, medical and health, and functional materials. Finally, some insights into its future potential are provided, including novel modification methods, directional modification according to structure-activity relationship, activity and application development direction, etc.

Abstract
A biocomposite scaffold was developed using chitosan (CS) and bovine-derived hydroxyapatite (BHA). The prepared CS-BHA biocomposite scaffold was characterized for its physiochemical and biological properties and compared against control BHA scaffolds to evaluate the effects of CS. Energy-dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed the elemental composition of the CS-BHA scaffold, which presented peaks for C and O from CS and Ca and P along with trace elements in the bovine bone such as Na, Mg, and Cl. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of phosphate, hydroxyl, carbonate, and amide functional groups attributed to the CS and BHA present in the biocomposite scaffolds. The CS-BHA scaffolds demonstrated an interconnected porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 60 to 600 μm and a total porosity of ∼64-75%, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and micro-CT analyses, respectively. Furthermore, thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the CS-BHA scaffold lost 70% of its weight when heated up to 1000 °C, which is characteristic of CS phase decomposition in the biocomposite. In vitro studies demonstrated that the CS-BHA scaffolds were biocompatible toward Saos-2 osteoblast-like cells, showing high cell viability and a significant increase in cell proliferation across the measured timepoints compared to the controls.

Abstract
In order to provide a favourable environment for living bone formation, it is an essential condition to grow bone-like apatite layer at the interface between the tissue-implant and its surrounding tissues. Inspired by the chemical composition and the nano porous structure of natural bones, we developed an ultrafast and accessible route to accelerate effectively the formation of bone-like apatite on the surface of porous poly(l-lactic acid)-hydroxyapatite (PLLA-HA) composite fibres in 5 times simulated body fluid (5SBF). The key of the method lays in successful exposure of HA nanoparticles on the surface of PLLA fibres by acetone treatment of electrospun PLLA-HA nano/micro fibres. The recrystallization of PLLA chains uncovers more HA nanoparticles on the surface of every fibre which provide nucleation sites for calcium and phosphate ions. After only 2 h of immersing in 5SBF, a full layer of apatite completely covered on the surface of porous PLLA-HA fibres. The results indicate that HA nanoparticles on porous fibre surface can accelerate the kinetic deposition of apatite on fibre surface. Biological in vitro cell culture with human osteoblast-like cell for up to 7 days demonstrates that the incorporation of HA nanoparticles on the surface of porous PLLA fibrous membranes leads to significant enhance osteoblast adhesion and proliferation. The route can open avenues for development of fibrous PLLA biomaterials for hard tissue repair and substitution.

Abstract
This paper proposes the development of a biomimetic composite based on naturally derived biomaterials. This freeze-dried scaffold contains a microwave-synthesized form of biomimetic hydroxyapatite (HAp), using the interwoven hierarchical structure of eggshell membrane (ESM) as bio-template. The bone regeneration capacity of the scaffold is enhanced with the help of added tricalcium phosphate from bovine Bone ash (BA). With the addition of Gelatin (Gel) and Chitosan (CS) as organic matrix, the obtained composite is characterized by the ability to stimulate the cellular response and might accelerate the bone healing process. Structural characterization of the synthesized HAp (ESM) confirms the presence of both hydroxyapatite and monetite phases, in accordance with the spectroscopy results on the ESM before and after the microwave thermal treatment (the presence of phosphate group). Morphology studies on all individual components and final scaffold, highlight their morphology and porous structure, characteristics that influence the biocompatibility of the scaffold. Porosity, swelling rate and the in vitro cytotoxicity assays performed on amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSC), demonstrate the effective biocompatibility of the obtained materials. The experimental results presented in this paper highlight an original biocomposite scaffold obtained from naturally derived materials, in a nontoxic manner.

Abstract
Tissue engineering has evolved quickly over the years and provided three generations of scaffolds for bone tissue applications. Numerous materials have been used to induce the desired effect at cellular levels. Mechano-transduction is a phenomenon which is now gaining the attention and focus of tissue engineering researchers. The idea of controlling the cellular fate and inducing a proper response of the human body in contact with different tissue-engineered systems is now under investigation. Moreover, in order to avoid the appearance of on-site infections and the need for a second surgery, scaffolds with dual functionality are now being developed. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an intensively studied material in this field and various combinations are under examination for the development of such scaffolds. Various techniques were exploited over the years for HA scaffold production, in order to obtain the most accurate matrix which can mimic the native bone tissue and restore its function. Biomimetic scaffolds aim to direct the cellular fate by imitating the natural structure of the bone tissue in terms of porosity, topography, composition, and surface properties. HA particles are exploited in bone tissue engineering in many forms, such as pure or composite scaffolds or reinforcement agents. In this regard, the aim of this review is to offer a current state of art about the use and synthesis of hydroxyapatite particles and their interaction with the physiological media under certain circumstances.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, biocompatible scaffolds are used as 3D cell niches to provide a similar environment to that of native tissue for seeded cells to regenerate the target tissue. When engineering bone tissue, high mechanical strength and calcium phosphate composition are essential factors to consider. In this study, we fabricated biocompatible composite scaffolds composed of synthetic polymers (polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)), natural polymers (gelatin and collagen) and bioceramic (hydroxyapatite; HA) for bone tissue engineering. The synthetic polymers were used to enhance the mechanical properties of the composite scaffolds while the natural protein-based polymers were used to enhance various cellular activities, such as cell adhesion and proliferation. Meanwhile, the bioceramic was introduced to promote osteogenic differentiation. Composite scaffolds were evaluated for their physical characteristics, such as mechanical, swelling and protein absorbing properties as well as biological properties (cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities and calcium deposition) with human osteoblast-like cells (MG63). Consequently, incorporation of hydroxyapatite into the gelatin/PVA (C-GPH) scaffold showed 5-fold and 1.5-fold increase in calcium deposition and ALP activities, respectively compared to gelatin/PVA scaffold (C-GP). Moreover, compressive modulus also increased 1.8-fold. Integration of PCL core into gelatin/PVA/hydroxyapatite scaffold (C-PGPH) further amplified the compressive modulus 1.5-fold. In conclusion, the scaffold that is reinforced with HA particles and integrated with PCL core of the struts showed significant potential in field of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Background Electrospinning is a widely used technology that can produce scaffolds with high porosity and surface area for bone regeneration. However, the small pore sizes in electrospun scaffolds constrain cell growth and tissue-ingrowth. In this study, novel drug-loading core-shell scaffolds were fabricated via electrospinning and freeze drying to facilitate the repair of tibia bone defects in rabbit models. Materials and Methods The collagen core scaffolds were freeze-dried containing icariin (ICA)-loaded chitosan microspheres. The shell scaffolds were electrospun using collagen, polycaprolactone and hydroxyapatite materials to form CPH composite scaffolds with the ones containing ICA microspheres named CPHI. The core-shell scaffolds were then cross-linked by genipin. The morphology, microstructure, physical and mechanical properties of the scaffolds were assessed. Rat marrow mesenchymal stem cells from the wistar rat were cultured with the scaffolds. The cell adhesion and proliferation were analysed. Adult rabbit models with tibial plateau defects were used to evaluate the performance of these scaffolds in repairing the bone defects over 4 to 12 weeks. Results The results reveal that the novel drug-loading core-shell scaffolds were successfully fabricated, which showed good physical and chemical properties and appropriate mechanical properties. Furthermore, excellent cells attachment was observed on the CPHI scaffolds. The results from radiography, micro-computed tomography, histological and immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that abundant new bones were formed on the CPHI scaffolds. Conclusion These new core-shell composite scaffolds have great potential for bone tissue engineering applications and may lead to effective bone regeneration and repair.

Abstract
The loss of bone tissue is a striking challenge in orthopedic surgery. Tissue engineering using various advanced biofunctional materials is considered a promising approach for the regeneration and substitution of impaired bone tissues. Recently, polymeric supportive scaffolds and biomaterials have been used to rationally promote the generation of new bone tissues. To restore the bone tissue in this context, biofunctional polymeric materials with significant mechanical robustness together with embedded materials can act as a supportive matrix for cellular proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic regeneration to replace defective tissues demands greater calcium deposits, high alkaline phosphatase activity, and profound upregulation of osteocalcin as a late osteogenic marker. Ideally, the bioactive polymeric scaffolds (BPSs) utilized for bone tissue engineering should impose no detrimental impacts and function as a carrier for the controlled delivery and release of the loaded molecules necessary for the bone tissue regeneration. In this review, we provide comprehensive insights into different synthetic and natural polymers used for the regeneration of bone tissue and discuss various technologies applied for the engineering of BPSs and their physicomechanical properties and biological effects.
