Abstract
Fascin1 is known to participate in the migration of cancer cells by binding to actin filaments. Recent studies evidenced that fascin1 also modulates processes such as the tumorigenesis and maintenance of pluripotency genes in cancer stem cells. However, the function of fascin1 in embryonic stem cells remains unclear. In this article, we report that fascin1 is highly expressed and widely distributed in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs), which are regulated by JAK-STAT3 and β-catenin. We found that the overexpression of fascin1 impairs the formation of mESC colonies via the downregulation of intercellular adhesion molecules, and that mimicking the dephosphorylated mutation of fascin1 or inhibiting phosphorylation with Gö6983 significantly enhances colony formation. Hyperphosphorylated fascin1 can promote the maintenance of pluripotency in mESCs via nuclear localization and suppressing DNA methyltransferase expression. Our findings demonstrate a novel function of fascin1, as a vital regulator, in the colony formation and pluripotency of mESCs and provide insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying embryonic stem cell self-organization and development in vitro.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and its derivatives are currently being explored for the modification of bone biomaterials. However, the effect of GO coatings on immunoregulation and subsequent impacts on osteogenesis are not known. In this study, GO was coated on pure titanium using dopamine. GO-coated titanium (Ti-GO) surfaces exhibited good biocompatibility, with the ability to stimulate the expression of osteogenic genes, and extracellular matrix mineralization in human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Interestingly, it was found that GO-coated surfaces could manipulate the polarization of macrophages and expression of inflammatory cytokines via the Toll-like receptor pathway. Under physiological conditions, Ti-GO activated macrophages and induced mild inflammation and a pro-osteogenic environment, characterized by a slight increase in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, as well as increased expression of the TGF-β1 and oncostatin M genes. In an environment mimicking acute inflammatory conditions, Ti-GO attenuated inflammatory responses, as shown by the downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines. Conditioned medium collected from macrophages stimulated by Ti-GO played a significant stimulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. In summary, GO-coated surfaces displayed beneficial immunomodulatory effects in osteogenesis, indicating that GO could be a potential substance for the modification of bone scaffolds and implants.

Abstract
Graphene is composed of a two-dimensional (2D) layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycomb lattice configuration. In this paper, we adopted a green synthetic method of producing reduced graphene oxide using glucose as a reducing and stabilizing agent. We also investigated the fabrication of electrospun nanofibers of glucose-reduced graphene oxide (GRGO) (0-1.0 wt%) reinforced with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as (PG) scaffolds, and chemically crosslinked with acidic glutaraldehyde (GA) in acetone medium to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) for skin tissue engineering applications. These PG scaffolds were evaluated for morphology, mechanical strength, surface wettability, thermal properties, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) revealed an increase in the thickness of nanofibers in PG scaffolds with an increase in the concentration of GRGO. X-ray diffraction and attenuated total reflectance-infrared and Raman spectra showed the GRGO was incorporated in the PVA nanofibrous matrix. As the concentration of GRGO was increased in PG scaffolds, tensile strengths and elongations at break decreased, whereas thermal properties increased. The biological activities of PG scaffolds were evaluated using in vitro hemolysis, using CCD-986Sk (a human skin fibroblast cell line) viability and proliferation assays, and by live/dead cell imaging. Results showed GRGO inclusion in PVA nanofibers caused a slight hydrophilic to hydrophobic shift. PG scaffolds did not cause hemolysis of red blood cells even at a GRGO loading of 1.0 wt%, and PG-1.0 scaffold (with a GRGO loading of 1.0 wt%) exhibited excellent compatibility with fibroblasts and significantly increased metabolic activity after culture for 21 days as compared with PG-0 controls. DAPI staining and live/dead imaging assays showed that all PG scaffolds increased fibroblast proliferation and viability, indicating the potential for skin tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
![]()
Graphene
family materials (GFMs) are extensively explored for various
biomedical applications due to their unique physical properties. The
prime challenge is to establish a conclusive safety profile of these
nanomaterials and their respective products or devices. Formulating
GFMs with appropriate ingredients (e.g., surfactant/compatibilizer)
will help to disperse them homogeneously (i.e., within the polymer
matrix in the case of polymer–graphene nanocomposites) and
aid in good interfacial interaction to achieve the desired properties.
However, no cytotoxicity report is available on the effects of the
additives on graphene and its incorporated materials. Here, we report
in vitro cytotoxicity of formulated FLG (FLG-C), i.e., a mixture of
FLG, melamine, and sodium poly(naphthalene sulfonate) (SPS), along
with natural rubber (NR) latex and FLG-C-included NR latex nanocomposite
(FLG-C-NR) thin films on human vaginal epithelial (HVE) cells. FLG-C
shows reduced cellular proliferation (∼55%) only at a longer
exposure time (72 h) even at a low concentration (50 μg/mL).
It also displays significant down- and upregulation in mitochondrial
membrane potential (MMP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively,
whereas no changes are observed in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), propidium
iodide (PI), uptake, and cell cycle analysis at 48 h. In vitro experiments
on NR latex and FLG-C-NR latex thin films demonstrate that the incorporation
of FLG-C does not compromise the biocompatibility of the NR latex.
Further substantiation from the in vivo experiments on the thin films
recommends that FLG-C could be suitable to prepare a range of biocompatible
rubber latex nanocomposites-based products, viz., next-generation
condoms (male and female), surgical gloves, catheters, vaginal rings,
bladder–rectum spacer balloon, etc.

Abstract
Regeneration and functional recovery of peripheral nerves remain formidable due to the inefficient physical and chemical cues in the available nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). Introducing micropatterns and bioactive substances into the inner wall of NGCs can effectively regulate the behavior of Schwann cells, the elongation of axons, and the phenotype of macrophages, thereby aiding the regeneration of injured nerve. In this study, linear micropatterns with ridges and grooves of 3/3, 5/5, 10/10, and 30/30 μm were created on poly(d,l-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) films following with surface aminolysis and electrostatic adsorption of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The GO-modified micropatterns could significantly accelerate the collective migration of Schwann cells (SCs) and migration of SCs from their spheroids in vitro. Moreover, the SCs migrated directionally along the stripes with a fastest rate on the 3/3-GO film that had the largest cell adhesion force. The neurites of N2a cells were oriented along the micropatterns, and the macrophages tended to differentiate into the M2 type on the 3/3-GO film judged by the higher expression of Arg 1 and IL-10. The systematic histological and functional assessments of the regenerated nerves at 4 and 8 weeks post-surgery in vivo confirmed that the 3/3-GO NGCs had better performance to promote the nerve regeneration, and the CMAP, NCV, wet weight of gastrocnemius muscle, positive S100β and NF200 area percentages, and average myelinated axon diameter were more close to those of the autograft group at 8 weeks. This type of NGCs thus has a great potential for nerve regeneration.

Abstract
Integration of conductive electrodes with 3D tissue models can have great potential for applications in bioelectronics, drug screening, and implantable devices. As conventional electrodes cannot be easily integrated on 3D, polymeric, and biocompatible substrates, alternatives are highly desirable. Graphene offers significant advantages over conventional electrodes due to its mechanical flexibility and robustness, biocompatibility, and electrical properties. However, the transfer of chemical vapor deposition graphene onto millimeter scale 3D structures is challenging using conventional wet graphene transfer methods with a rigid poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) supportive layer. Here, a biocompatible 3D graphene transfer method onto 3D printed structure using a soft poly ethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) supportive layer to integrate the graphene layer with a 3D engineered ring of skeletal muscle tissue is reported. The use of softer PEGDA supportive layer, with a 105 times lower Young's modulus compared to PMMA, results in conformal integration of the graphene with 3D printed pillars and allows electrical stimulation and actuation of the muscle ring with various applied voltages and frequencies. The graphene integration method can be applied to many 3D tissue models and be used as a platform for electrical interfaces to 3D biological tissue system.

Abstract
Graphene, an allotrope of carbon, consists of a single layer of carbon atoms with uniquely tuneable properties. As such, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have gained interest for tissue engineering applications. GBMs are often discussed in the context of how different physicochemical properties affect cell physiology, without explicitly considering the impact of adsorbed proteins. Establishing a relationship between graphene properties, adsorbed proteins, and cell response is necessary as these proteins provide the surface upon which cells attach and grow. This review highlights the molecular adsorption of proteins on different GBMs, protein structural changes, and the connection to cellular function.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels, obtained from small organic molecules, may be advantageous over polymeric ones for several applications, because these materials have some peculiar properties that differentiate them from the traditional polymeric hydrogels, such as elasticity, thixotropy, self-healing propensity, and biocompatibility. We report here the preparation of strong supramolecular pseudopeptide-based hydrogels that owe their strength to the introduction of graphene in the gelling mixture. These materials proved to be strong, stable, thermoreversible and elastic. The concentration of the gelator, the degree of graphene doping, and the nature of the trigger are crucial to get hydrogels with the desired properties, where a high storage modulus coexists with a good thixotropic behavior. Finally, NIH-3T3 cells were used to evaluate the cell response to the presence of the most promising hydrogels. The hydrogels biocompatibility remains good, if a small degree of graphene doping is introduced.

Abstract
Conventional drug delivery systems for natural clay materials still face critical challenges in their practical application, including multiple bacterial infections, combined infection of bacteria and fungi, and low sterilization efficiency. In this work, we address these challenges using the multifunctional montmorillonite nanosheet-based (MMT-based) drug nanoplatform, which involves the antibiotic 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), antibacterial metal copper ions, and quaternized chitosan (QCS). Composite material QCS/MMT/5-FCCu can can strongly inhibit Staphylococcus aureus (a typical Gram-positive bacterium), Escherichia coli (a typical Gram-negative bacterium), and Candida albicans (a fungus) because 5-FC coordinates with copper ions in situ and due to the deposition of QCS. The subsequent drug release behavior of 5-FCCu was studied, and the results show an initial high concentration kills microorganisms and long-acting sustained release inhibition. Moreover, in vivo wound experiments and toxicity experiments show the promotion of wound healing and excellent biocompatibility. As a demonstration of the utility of the latter, we have shown that the MMT-based smart platform can be used for the treatment of mixed infections of wounds.

Abstract
Neural tissue engineering provides enormous potential for restoring and improving the function of diseased/damaged tissues and promising opportunities in regenerative medicine, stem cell technology, and drug discovery. The conventional 2D cell cultures have many limitations to provide informative and realistic neural interactions and network formation. Hence, there is a need to develop three-dimensional (3D) bioscaffolds to facilitate culturing cells with matched microenvironment for cell growth and interconnected pores for penetration and migration of cells. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of 3D composite bioscaffolds based on graphene-biopolymer with porous structure and improved performance for tissue engineering. A simple, eco-friendly synthetic method is introduced and optimized for synthesis of this hybrid fibrous scaffold by combining Graphene Oxide (GO) and Sodium Alginate (Na-ALG) which are specifically selected to match the mechanical strength of the central nervous system (CNS) tissue and provide porous structure for connective tissue engineering. Properties of the developed scaffold in terms of the structure, porosity, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity are presented. These properties were optimised through key synthesis conditions including GO concentrations, reduction process and crosslinking time. In contrast to other studies, the presented structure maintains its stability in aqueous media and uses a bio-friendly reducing agent which enable the structure to enhance neuron cell interactions and act as nerve conduits for neurological diseases.

Abstract
The combination of composite nerve materials prepared using degradable polymer materials with biological or physical factors has received extensive attention as a means to treat nerve injuries. This study focused on the potential application of graphene oxide (GO) composite conductive materials combined with electrical stimulation (ES) in nerve repair. A conductive poly(L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/GO composite membrane was prepared, and its properties were tested using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a contact angle meter, and a mechanical tester. Next, neural stem cells (NSCs) were planted on the PLGA/GO conductive composite membrane and ES was applied. NSC proliferation and differentiation and neurite elongation were observed using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, immunofluorescence, and PCR, respectively. The results showed that the PLGA/GO membrane had good hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, and protein adsorption. ES combined with the PLGA/GO membrane significantly promoted NSC proliferation and neuronal differentiation on the material surface and promoted significant neurite elongation. Our results suggest that ES combined with GO-related conductive composite materials can be used as a new therapeutic combination to treat nerve injuries.

Abstract
The versatile properties of graphene-based materials are enabling various tissue regeneration, towards meeting an ever increasing demand for replacement tissues due to injury through trauma and disease. In particular, an innate ability for graphene to promote osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, combined with the potential to enhance the biological activity of cells through electrical stimulation (ES) using graphene, supports its use for osteoinduction or reconstruction. In this paper, we describe a miniaturized graphene-cellulose (G-C) scaffold-based device that incorporates electroactive G-C 'paper' within a polystyrene chamber for concomitant cell culture and ES. The G-C electrodes possessed lower impedance and higher charge injection capacity than gold (Au) electrodes, with high stability. By coupling ES with previously reported properties of the G-C scaffolds, we have advanced the platform for improved adipose derived stem cell (ADSC) support and osteogenic differentiation. We anticipate using the G-C scaffold-based ES device for in vitro modelling of osteogenic induction, bone tissue engineering and in vivo bone regeneration towards new therapeutic strategies for bone injury and disease. Furthermore, the device could reasonably be used for ES and culture of other cell types and engineering other tissues.

Abstract
The transplantation of neural stem cells (NSCs) has become an emerging treatment for neural degeneration. A key factor in such treatments is to manipulate NSC behaviors such as proliferation and differentiation, resulting in the eventual regulation of NSC fate. Novel bionanomaterials have shown usefulness in guiding the proliferation and differentiation of NSCs due to the materials' unique morphological and topological properties. Among the nanomaterials, graphene has drawn increasing attention for neural regeneration applications based on the material's excellent physicochemical properties, surface modifications, and biocompatibility. In this review, we summarize recent works on the use of graphene-based biomaterials for regulating NSC behaviors and the potential use of these materials in clinical treatment. We also discuss the limitations of graphene-based nanomaterials for use in clinical practice. Finally, we provide some future prospects for graphene-based biomaterial applications in neural regeneration.

Abstract
Graphene nanoflakes (GNFs) consist of a graphene sheet approximately 30 nm in diameter with a pristine aromatic system and an edge terminated with carboxylic acid groups. Their high water solubility and relative ease of functionalisation using carboxylate chemistry means that GNFs are potential scaffolds for the synthesis of theranostic agents. In this work, GNFs were multi-functionalised with derivatives of (i) a peptide-based Glu-NH-C(O)-NH-Lys ligand that binds prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), (ii) a potent anti-mitotic drug (R)-ispinesib, (iii) the chelate desferrioxamine B (DFO), and (iv) an albumin-binding tag reported to extend pharmacokinetic half-life in vivo. Subsequent 68Ga radiochemistry and experiments in vitro and in vivo were used to evaluate the performance of GNFs in theranostic drug design. Efficient 68Ga-radiolabelling was achieved and the particle-loading of (R)-ispinesib and Glu-NH-C(O)-NH-Lys was confirmed using cellular assays. Using dose-response curves and FACS analysis it was shown that GNFs loaded with (R)-ispinesib inhibited the kinesin spindle protein (KSP) and induced G2/M-phase cell cycle arrest. Cellular uptake and blocking experiments demonstrated that GNFs functionalised with the Glu-NH-C(O)-NH-Lys ligand showed specificity toward PSMA expressing cells (LNCaP). The distribution profile and excretion rates of 68Ga-radiolabelled GNFs in athymic nude mice was evaluated using time-activity curves derived from dynamic positron-emission tomography (PET). Image analysis indicated that GNFs have low accumulation and retention in background tissue, with rapid renal clearance. In summary, our study shows that GNFs are suitable candidates for use in theranostic drug design.

Abstract
The main goal of bone tissue engineering (BTE) is to refine and repair major bone defects based on bioactive biomaterials with distinct properties that can induce and support bone tissue formation. Graphene and its derivatives, such as graphene oxide (GO), display optimal properties for BTE, being able to support cell growth and proliferation, cell attachment, and cytoskeleton development as well as the activation of osteogenesis and bone development pathways. Conversely, the presence of GO within a polymer matrix produces favorable changes to scaffold morphologies that facilitate cell attachment and migration i.e., more ordered morphologies, greater surface area, and higher total porosity. Therefore, there is a need to explore the potential of GO for tissue engineering applications and regenerative medicine. Here, we aim to promote one novel scaffold based on a natural compound of chitosan, improved with 3 wt.% GO, for BTE approaches, considering its good biocompatibility, remarkable 3D characteristics, and ability to support stem cell differentiation processes towards the bone lineage.

Abstract
The mechanotransduction is the process by which cells sense mechanical stimuli such as elasticity, viscosity, and nanotopography of extracellular matrix and translate them into biochemical signals. The mechanotransduction regulates several aspects of the cell behavior, including migration, proliferation, and differentiation in a time-dependent manner. Several reports have indicated that cell behavior and fate are not transmitted by a single signal, but rather by an intricate network of many signals operating on different length and timescales that determine cell fate. Since cell biology and biomaterial technology are fundamentals in cell-based regenerative therapies, comprehending the interaction between cells and biomaterials may allow the design of new biomaterials for clinical therapeutic applications in tissue regeneration. In this work, we present the most relevant mechanism by which the biomechanical properties of extracellular matrix (ECM) influence cell reprogramming, with particular attention on the new technologies and materials engineering, in which are taken into account not only the biochemical and biophysical signals patterns but also the factor time.

Abstract
Carbon-based nanomaterials, such as graphene oxide (GO) or carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are currently used in various medical applications due to their positive influence on biocompatibility, adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as their contribution to modulating cell behavior in response to nanomaterial substrates. In this context, in this study, novel flexible membranes based on cellulose acetate (CA) enriched with CNT and GO in different percentages were tested for their versatility to be used as substrates for soft or hard tissue engineering (TE), namely, for their ability to support human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) adhesion during adipogenic or osteogenic differentiation. For this purpose, differentiation markers were assessed both at gene and protein levels, while histological staining was performed to show the evolution of the processes in response to CA-CNT-GO substrates. Micro-CT analysis indicated porous morphologies with open and interconnected voids. A slightly lower total porosity was obtained for the samples filled with the highest amount of GO and CNTs, but thicker walls, larger and more uniform pores were obtained, providing beneficial effects on cell behavior and increased mechanical stability. The addition of 1 wt% GO and CNT to the biocomposites enhanced hASCs adhesion and cytoskeleton formation. The evolution of both adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation processes was found to be augmented proportionally to the GO-CNT concentration. In conclusion, CA-CNT-GO biomaterials displayed good properties and versatility as platforms for cell differentiation with potential as future implantable materials in TE applications.

Abstract
Aliphatic polyesters such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) copolymers have been widely used as biomaterials for tissue engineering applications including: bone fixation devices, bone scaffolds, and wound dressings in orthopedics. However, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters are prone to bacterial infections due to the lack of antibacterial moieties in their macromolecular chains. In this respect, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), graphene oxide (GO) sheets and AgNPs-GO hybrids can be used as reinforcing nanofillers for aliphatic polyesters in forming antimicrobial nanocomposites. However, polymeric matrix materials immobilize nanofillers to a large extent so that they cannot penetrate bacterial membrane into cytoplasm as in the case of colloidal nanoparticles or nanosheets. Accordingly, loaded GO sheets of aliphatic polyester nanocomposites have lost their antibacterial functions such as nanoknife cutting, blanket wrapping and membrane phospholipid extraction. In contrast, AgNPs fillers of polyester nanocomposites can release silver ions for destroying bacterial cells. Thus, AgNPs fillers are more effective than loaded GO sheets of polyester nanocomposiites in inhibiting bacterial infections. Aliphatic polyester nanocomposites with AgNPs and AgNPs-GO fillers are effective to kill multi-drug resistant bacteria that cause medical device-related infections.

Abstract
Layered-graphene reinforced-metal matrix nanocomposites with excellent mechanical properties and low density are a new class of advanced materials for a broad range of applications. A facile three-step approach based on ultra-sonication for dispersion of graphene nanosheets (GNSs), ball milling for Al-powder mixing with different weight percentages of GNSs, and equal-channel angular pressing for powders' consolidation at 200 °C was applied for nanocomposite fabrication. The Raman analysis revealed that the GNSs in the sample with 0.25 wt.% GNSs were exfoliated by the creation of some defects and disordering. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analysis confirmed that the interaction of the GNSs and the matrix was almost mechanical, interfacial bonding. The density test demonstrated that all samples except the 1 wt.% GNSs were fully densified due to the formation of microvoids, which were observed in the scanning electron microscope analysis. Investigation of the mechanical properties showed that by using Al powders with commercial purity, the 0.25 wt.% GNS sample possessed the maximum hardness, ultimate shear strength, and uniform normal displacement in comparison with the other samples. The highest mechanical properties were observed in the 0.25 wt.% GNSs composite, resulting from the embedding of exfoliated GNSs between Al powders, excellent mechanical bonding, and grain refinement. In contrast, agglomerated GNSs and the existence of microvoids caused deterioration of the mechanical properties in the 1 wt.% GNSs sample.

Abstract
Cell-based therapies have shown significant promise in tissue engineering with one key challenge being the delivery and retention of cells. As a result, significant efforts have been made in the past decade to design injectable biomaterials to host and deliver cells at injury sites. Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, a major cause of back pain, is a particularly relevant example where a minimally-invasive cellular therapy could bring significant benefits specifically at the early stages of the disease, when a cell-driven process starts in the gelatinous core of the IVD, the nucleus pulposus (NP). In this present study we explore the use of graphene oxide (GO) as nano-filler for the reinforcement of FEFKFEFK (β-sheet forming self-assembling peptide) hydrogels. Our results confirm the presence of strong interactions between FEFKFEFK and GO flakes with the peptide coating and forming short thin fibrils on the surface of the flakes. These strong interactions were found to affect the bulk properties of hybrid hydrogels. At pH 4 electrostatic interactions between the peptide fibres and the peptide-coated GO flakes are thought to govern the final bulk properties of the hydrogels while at pH 7, after conditioning with cell culture media, electrostatic interactions are removed leaving the hydrophobic interactions to govern hydrogel final properties. The GO-F820 hybrid hydrogel, with mechanical properties similar to the NP, was shown to promote high cell viability and retained cell metabolic activity in 3D over the 7 days of culture and therefore shown to harbour significant potential as an injectable hydrogel scaffold for the in-vivo delivery of NP cells. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Short self-assembling peptide hydrogels (SAPHs) have attracted significant interest in recent years as they can mimic the natural extra-cellular matrix, holding significant promise for the ab initio design of cells' microenvironments. Recently the design of hybrid hydrogels for biomedical applications has been explored through the incorporation of specific nanofillers. In this study we exploited graphene oxide (GO) as nanofiller to design hybrid injectable 3Dscaffolds for the delivery of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) for intervertebral disc regeneration. Our work clearly shows the presence of strong interactions between peptide and GO, mimicking the mechanical properties of the NP tissue and promoting high cell viability and metabolic activity. These hybrid hydrogels therefore harbour significant potential as injectable scaffolds for the in vivo delivery of NPCs.

Abstract
(1) Background: The aim of this study was to optimize, through a cheap and facile protocol, the covalent functionalization of graphene oxide (GO)-decorated cortical membrane (Lamina®) in order to promote the adhesion, the growth and the osteogenic differentiation of DPSCs (Dental Pulp Stem Cells); (2) Methods: GO-coated Laminas were fully characterized by Scannsion Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) analyses. In vitro analyses of viability, membrane integrity and calcium phosphate deposition were performed; (3) Results: The GO-decorated Laminas demonstrated an increase in the roughness of Laminas, a reduction in toxicity and did not affect membrane integrity of DPSCs; and (4) Conclusions: The GO covalent functionalization of Laminas was effective and relatively easy to obtain. The homogeneous GO coating obtained favored the proliferation rate of DPSCs and the deposition of calcium phosphate.

Abstract
This paper provides review updates on the current development of bionanocomposites with polymeric matrices consisting of synthetic biodegradable aliphatic polyesters reinforced with nanohydroxyaptite (nHA) and/or graphene oxide (GO) nanofillers for bone tissue engineering applications. Biodegradable aliphatic polyesters include poly(lactic acid) (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL) and copolymers of PLA-PGA (PLGA). Those bionanocomposites have been explored for making 3D porous scaffolds for the repair of bone defects since nHA and GO enhance their bioactivity and biocompatibility by promoting biomineralization, bone cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, thus facilitating new bone tissue formation upon implantation. The incorporation of nHA or GO into aliphatic polyester scaffolds also improves their mechanical strength greatly, especially hybrid GO/nHA nanofilllers. Those mechanically strong nanocomposite scaffolds can support and promote cell attachment for tissue growth. Porous scaffolds fabricated from conventional porogen leaching, and thermally induced phase separation have many drawbacks inducing the use of organic solvents, poor control of pore shape and pore interconnectivity, while electrospinning mats exhibit small pores that limit cell infiltration and tissue ingrowth. Recent advancement of 3D additive manufacturing allows the production of aliphatic polyester nanocomposite scaffolds with precisely controlled pore geometries and large pores for the cell attachment, growth, and differentiation in vitro, and the new bone formation in vivo.

Abstract
This study provides a review of the therapeutic potential of graphene dressing scaffolds and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their synergistic effects with respect to cutaneous wound healing. This study also considers their putative action mechanism based on the antibacterial, immunomodulating, angiogenic, matrix remodeling effects of materials belonging to the graphene family and MSCs during the wound healing process. In addition, this study discusses the cytocompatibility of graphene, its uses as a platform for skin substitutes, the properties it possesses with respect to providing protection against microbial invasion as well as strategies aimed at minimizing the chance of the occurrence of sepsis. MSCs are capable of secreting several factors that exert a therapeutic impact on reparative processes and tissue regeneration. In light of experiments conducted to date, graphene combined with MSCs appears to have the potential to enhance both the wound healing process and infection control at the injury site.

Abstract
Background These normal entheses are not reestablished after repair despite significant advances in surgical techniques. There is a significant need to develop integrative biomaterials, facilitating functional tendon-to-bone integration. Materials and methods We fabricated a highly interconnective graphene oxide-doped electrospun poly(lactide-co-glycolide acid) (GO-PLGA) nanofibrous membrane by electrospinning technique and evaluated them using in vitro cell assays. Then, we established rabbit models, the PLGA and GO-PLGA nanofibrous membranes were used to augment the rotator cuff repairs. The animals were killed postoperatively, which was followed by micro-computed tomography, histological and biomechanical evaluation. Results GO was easily mixed into PLGA filament without changing the three dimensional microstructure. An in vitro evaluation demonstrated that the PLGA membranes incorporated with GO accelerated the proliferation of BMSCs and furthered the Osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. In addition, an in vivo assessment further revealed that the local application of GO-PLGA membrane to the gap between the tendon and the bone in a rabbit model promoted the healing enthesis, increased new bone and cartilage generation, and improved collagen arrangement and biomechanical properties in comparison with repair with PLGA only. Conclusion The electrospun GO-PLGA fibrous membrane provides an effective approach for the regeneration of tendon to bone enthesis.

Abstract
In recent years, stem cell therapy has become a very promising and advanced scientific research topic. The development of treatment methods has evoked great expectations. This paper is a review focused on the discovery of different stem cells and the potential therapies based on these cells. The genesis of stem cells is followed by laboratory steps of controlled stem cell culturing and derivation. Quality control and teratoma formation assays are important procedures in assessing the properties of the stem cells tested. Derivation methods and the utilization of culturing media are crucial to set proper environmental conditions for controlled differentiation. Among many types of stem tissue applications, the use of graphene scaffolds and the potential of extracellular vesicle-based therapies require attention due to their versatility. The review is summarized by challenges that stem cell therapy must overcome to be accepted worldwide. A wide variety of possibilities makes this cutting edge therapy a turning point in modern medicine, providing hope for untreatable diseases.

Abstract
Graphene, owing to its inherent chemical inertness, biocompatibility, and mechanical flexibility, has great potential in guiding cell behaviors such as adhesion and differentiation. However, due to the two-dimensional (2D) nature of graphene, the microfabrication of graphene into micro/nanoscale patterns has been widely adopted for guiding cellular assembly. In this study, we report crumpled graphene, i.e., monolithically defined graphene with a nanoscale wavy surface texture, as a tissue engineering platform that can efficiently promote aligned C2C12 mouse myoblast cell differentiation. We imparted out-of-plane, nanoscale crumpled morphologies to flat graphene via compressive strain-induced deformation. When C2C12 mouse myoblast cells were seeded on the uniaxially crumpled graphene, not only were the alignment and elongation promoted at a single-cell level but also the differentiation and maturation of myotubes were enhanced compared to that on flat graphene. These results demonstrate the utility of the crumpled graphene platform for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for skeletal muscle tissues.

Abstract
Due to the increasing global population, growing contamination of water and air, and wide spread of infectious diseases, antibiotics are extensively used as a major antibacterial drug. However, many microbes have developed resistance to antibiotics through mutation over time. As an alternative to antibiotics, antimicrobial nanomaterials have attracted great attention due to their advantageous properties and unique mechanisms of action toward microbes. They inhibit bacterial growth and destroy cells through complex mechanisms, making it difficult for bacteria to develop drug resistance, though some health concerns related to biocompatibility remain for practical applications. Among various antibacterial nanomaterials, carbon-based materials, especially graphene oxide (GO) and carbon dots (C-Dots), are promising candidates due to the ease of production and functionalization, high dispersibility in aqueous media, and promising biocompatibility. The antibacterial properties of these nanomaterials can be easily adjusted by surface modification. They are promising materials for future applications against multidrug-resistant bacteria based on their strong capacity in disruption of microbial membranes. Though many studies have reported excellent antibacterial activity of carbon nanomaterials, their impact on the environment and living organisms is of concern due to the accumulatory and cytotoxic effects. In this review, we discuss antimicrobial applications of the functional carbon nanomaterials (GO and C-Dots), their antibacterial mechanisms, factors affecting antibacterial activity, and concerns regarding cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Many patients suffer from bone injury and self-regeneration is not effective. Developing new strategies for effective bone injury repair is highly desired. Herein, collagen, an important component of the extracellular matrix, was modified with glycidyl methacrylate. The water solubility and photochemical cross-linking ability of the resulting collagen derivative was then improved. Thereafter, BMSC-laden hydrogel was fabricated using collagen modified with glycidyl methacrylate and hyaluronic acid modified with methacrylic anhydride under UV light in the presence of I 2959. The physicochemical properties were characterized suggesting that the hydrogel had great potential for enhancing cell adhesion and proliferation. Furthermore, without adding the bone morphogenetic protein-2, the collagen also promoted osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs within the hydrogel. Altogether, this hydrogel system provides a general strategy to fabricate cell-encapsulating hydrogel based on collagen and could be used as 3D scaffold for bone injury repair.
