J Indian Soc Periodontol 2023; 27:295-300. [PMID: 37346846 PMCID: PMC10281305 DOI: 10.4103/jisp.jisp_312_22] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background This clinical study aimed to overcome the difficulty of graft fixation and limited blood supply for dehiscence defects regeneration by using a cross-linked gelfoam matrix jointly with collagen membrane and xenograft. Materials and Methods The study included twenty dehiscence-like defects in maxillary anterior teeth with ≥4 mm facial bone loss and ≥5 mm clinical attachment loss (CAL) in patients suffering from Stage III periodontitis. Sites were treated with regenerative surgery using a cross-linked gelfoam matrix with glutaraldehyde, xenograft, and collagen membrane. The recorded parameters were: CAL, probing pocket depth (PPD), and radiographic three-dimensional (3D) volume for dehiscence-like defects (3D volume of facial bone defects) and 3D volume of interproximal defects using cone-beam radiographs. Data of these parameters were collected at both baseline and 6 months postsurgery. "Paired t-test" was used to assess the two variables." Results Both CAL and PPD showed statistically significant reductions and there was a significant bone gain at 6 months postsurgery in comparison to baseline (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion Using a cross-linked gelfoam matrix with glutaraldehyde in combination with xenograft and collagen membrane could enhance the outcome of periodontal regeneration, especially in the treatment of challenging dehiscence defects.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this systematic review is to describe developments in three-dimensional (3D) cell printing in the formation of dental pulp tissue using polyester as a scaffold to revitalize the damaged dental pulp tissue. Materials and methods A literature search for all the data published in PubMed and Google Scholar from January 2000 to April 2022 was conducted. Articles with the keywords 3D cell printing, scaffolds, polyester, dental pulp, and dentistry were used. Inclusion criteria consisted of any publication in electronic or print media directly studying or commenting on the use of polyester scaffolds in 3D cell printing technology in the regeneration of dental pulp. A total of 528 articles were selected, of which 27 duplicates and 286 irrelevant articles were discarded. A total of 215 articles were finally included in the systematic review. Result and conclusion For dental pulp regeneration, several scaffolds have been discovered to be appealing. Polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), and their copolymers are nontoxic and biocompatible synthetic polyesters that degrade by hydrolysis and have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for a variety of applications. This review paper is intended to spark new ideas for using a certain scaffold in a specific regenerative approach to produce the desired pulp-dentin complex.

Abstract
Several hydrogels could be used as scaffolds for tissue engineering and a model of extracellular matrices for biological studies. However, the scope of alginate in medical applications is often severely limited by its mechanical behavior. In the present study, the modification of the mechanical properties of the alginate scaffold is obtained by its combination with polyacrylamide in order to obtain a multifunctional biomaterial. The advantage of this double polymer network is due to an improvement in the mechanical strength with regard to the alginate alone, and in particular, its Young's modulus values. The morphological study of this network was carried out by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The swelling properties were also studied over several time intervals. In addition to mechanical property requirements, these polymers must meet several biosafety parameters as part of an overall risk management strategy. Our preliminary study illustrates that the mechanical property of this synthetic scaffold depends on the ratio of the two polymers (alginate, polyacrylamide) which allows us to choose the appropriate ratio to mimic replaceable body tissue and be used in various biological and medical uses, including 3D cell culture, tissue engineering, and protection against local shocks.

Rheology and Gelation of Hyaluronic Acid/Chitosan Coacervates. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12121817.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) and chitosan (CHI) are biopolyelectrolytes which are interesting for both the medical and polymer physics communities due to their biocompatibility and semi-flexibility, respectively. In this work, we demonstrate by rheology experiments that the linear viscoelasticity of HA/CHI coacervates depends strongly on the molecular weight of the polymers. Moduli for coacervates were found significantly higher than those of individual HA and CHI physical gels. A remarkable 1.5-fold increase in moduli was noted when catechol-conjugated HA and CHI were used instead. This was attributed to the conversion of coacervates to chemical gels by oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) groups in HA and CHI to di-DOPA crosslinks. These rheological results put HA/CHI coacervates in the category of strong candidates as injectable tissue scaffolds or medical adhesives.

Abstract
Atelocollagen-gelatin (ACG) sponge was fabricated from atelocollagen and gelatin by lyophilization without introducing toxic substances. This study aimed to investigate the effects of heat treatment on the 3-dimensional structural stability of ACG sponge biomaterial. ACG sponge samples were fabricated and heat treated at 125oC for 12 h in the vacuum. The results revealed that heat treatment did not affect porosity, pore size and mechanical compressive strength. Heat-treated ACG sponge showed decreased absorbance and peak shift of amid I (C=O) stretches, slightly higher water uptake degree and significantly decreased in vitro degradation rate. Moreover, heat-treated ACG sponge maintained good 3-dimensional surface morphology and porous microstructure throughout 7 days, while non-heat-treated ACG sponge collapsed in less than 24 h. The human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) were shown to adhere and grow well on heat-treated ACG sponges. These results indicate that heat treatment is effective and safe to stabilize 3-dimensional ACG sponge biomaterial for tissue engineering.

Abstract
The process of secondary intention wound healing includes long repair and healing time. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds have shown potential for wound dressing. Biopolymers have gained much attention due to their remarkable characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and nontoxicity. This study anticipated to develop a new composite metronidazole (MTZ) immobilized nanofibrous scaffold based on poly (3-hydroxy butyrate) (PHB) and Gelatin (Gel) to be utilized as a novel secondary intention wound healing accelerator. Herein, PHB and Gel were mixed together at different weight ratios to prepare polymer solutions with final concentration of (7%), loaded with two different concentrations 5% (Z1) and 10% (Z2) of MTZ. Nanofibrous scaffolds were obtained by manipulating electrospinning technique. The properties of MTZ immobilized PHB/Gel nanofibrous scaffold were evaluated (SEM, FTIR, TGA, water uptake, contact angle, porosity, mechanical properties and antibacterial activity). Additionally, in vitro cytocompatibility of the obtained nanofibrous scaffolds were assessed by using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8 assay). Moreover, in vivo wound healing experiments revealed that the prepared nanofibrous scaffold highly augmented the transforming growth factor (TGF-β) signaling pathway, moderately suppressed the pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-6). These results indicate that MTZ immobilized PHB/Gel nanofibrous scaffold significantly boost accelerating secondary intention wound healing.

Evaluating the physicochemical effects of conjugating peptides into thermogelling hydrogels for regenerative biomaterials applications. Regen Biomater 2021; 8:rbab073. [PMID: 34934509 PMCID: PMC8684499 DOI: 10.1093/rb/rbab073] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Revised: 11/14/2021] [Accepted: 11/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Thermogelling hydrogels, such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) [P(NiPAAm)], provide tunable constructs leveraged in many regenerative biomaterial applications. Recently, our lab developed the crosslinker poly(glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(glycolic acid)-di(but-2-yne-1,4-dithiol), which crosslinks P(NiPAAm-co-glycidyl methacrylate) via thiol-epoxy reaction and can be functionalized with azide-terminated peptides via alkyne-azide click chemistry. This study's aim was to evaluate the impact of peptides on the physicochemical properties of the hydrogels. The physicochemical properties of the hydrogels including the lower critical solution temperature, crosslinking times, swelling, degradation, peptide release and cytocompatibility were evaluated. The gels bearing peptides increased equilibrium swelling indicating hydrophilicity of the hydrogel components. Comparable sol fractions were found for all groups, indicating that inclusion of peptides does not impact crosslinking. Moreover, the inclusion of a matrix metalloproteinase-sensitive peptide allowed elucidation of whether release of peptides from the network was driven by hydrolysis or enzymatic cleavage. The hydrophilicity of the network determined by the swelling behavior was demonstrated to be the most important factor in dictating hydrogel behavior over time. This study demonstrates the importance of characterizing the impact of additives on the physicochemical properties of hydrogels. These characteristics are key in determining design considerations for future in vitro and in vivo studies for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In this study, a light cross-linkable biocomposite scaffold based on a photo-cross-linkable poly (propylene fumarate) (PPF)-co-polycaprolactone (PCL) tri-block copolymer was synthesized and characterized. The developed biodegradable scaffold was further modified with β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) bioceramic for bone tissue engineering applications. The developed biocomposite was characterized using H nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, the bioceramic particle size distribution and morphology were evaluated using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The mechanical properties and biodegradation of the scaffolds were also evaluated. Cytotoxicity and mineralization assays were performed to analyze the biocompatibility and bioactivity capacity of the developed biocomposite. The characterization data confirmed the development of a biodegradable and photo-cross-linkable PCL-based biocomposite reinforced with β-TCP bioceramic. In vitro analyses demonstrated the biocompatibility and mineralization potential of the synthesized bioceramic. Altogether, the results of the present study suggest that the photo-cross-linkable PCL-PPF-PCL tri-block copolymer reinforced with β-TCP is a promising biocomposite for bone tissue engineering applications. According to the results, this newly synthesized material has a proper chemical composition for further clinically-relevant studies in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Mosquitoes act as vectors for several disease-causing microorganisms and pose a threat to mankind by transmitting various diseases. There are different conventional methods to repel or kill these mosquitoes for avoiding susceptibility against infections. However, to overcome the difficulties with conventional methods, new advanced materials are being studied. For the first time, we report developing a nanofiber mat with a controlled release of insecticide to repel or detain the mosquitoes. Briefly, various blend compositions were prepared by manipulating the ratio of neem oil-based polyesteramide (PEA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) immobilized with insecticide, transfluthrin (Tf). The blend solutions were electrospun to get non-woven nanofiber mats, and these nanomaterials were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques to understand their physicochemical properties. The surface morphology was analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (E-SEM), and the diameter of the nanofibers was in the range of 200 to 450 nm. Further, thermal and mechanical properties were evaluated to understand the stability of nanofiber mats. In vitro drug release studies of nanofiber mat PPT-1335 showed controlled and sustained release of Tf, with ∼35% of Tf released in 24 h. However, a film of the same composition (PPT-1335) showed ∼5% of Tf release within 24 h. Moreover, in vivo bio-efficacy studies suggested the mortality of mosquitoes was about 50% with PP-133, which was further increased to 100% within 12 h in the presence of Tf (PPT-1335). However, 60% mortality of mosquitoes was observed with the film of PPT-1335. Hence, the nanofiber mat showed better efficacy against mosquitoes as compared to the film of the same composition. The degradation studies under various conditions revealed biocompatibility of the developed nanofiber mats with the ecosystem. Electrospun nanofiber mats immobilized with transfluthrin to control mosquitoes.![]()

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising strategy to treat tissue and organ loss or damage caused by injury or disease. During the past two decades, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted a tremendous amount of interest in tissue engineering due to their multipotency and self-renewal ability. MSCs are also the most multipotent stem cells in the human adult body. However, the application of MSCs in tissue engineering is relatively limited because it is difficult to guide their differentiation toward a specific cell lineage by using traditional biochemical factors. Besides biochemical factors, the differentiation of MSCs also influenced by biophysical cues. To this end, much effort has been devoted to directing the cell lineage decisions of MSCs through adjusting the biophysical properties of biomaterials. The surface topography of the biomaterial-based scaffold can modulate the proliferation and differentiation of MSCs. Presently, the development of micro- and nano-fabrication techniques has made it possible to control the surface topography of the scaffold precisely. In this review, we highlight and discuss how the main topographical features (i.e., roughness, patterns, and porosity) are an efficient approach to control the fate of MSCs and the application of topography in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Plastic surgery is a broad field, including maxillofacial surgery, skin flaps and grafts, liposuction and body contouring, breast surgery, and facial cosmetic procedures. Due to the requirements of plastic surgery for the biological safety of materials, biomaterials are widely used because of its superior biocompatibility and biodegradability. Currently, there are many kinds of biomaterials clinically used in plastic surgery and their applications are diverse. Moreover, with the rise of three-dimensional printing technology in recent years, the macroscopically more precise and personalized bio-scaffolding materials with microporous structure have made good progress, which is thought to bring new development to biomaterials. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed the plastic surgery biomaterials and current progress in their 3D manufacturing technology.

Biodegradable Polylactide Scaffolds with Pharmacological Activity by Means of Ultrasound Micromolding Technology. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2020.

Abstract
Ultrasound micromolding technology has been applied to get microporous polylactide scaffolds from the subsequent leaching of incorporated NaCl salts. A small amount of water-soluble polyethylene glycol (PEG) was required in order to improve the leaching process and get compact pieces with interconnected pores. Distribution of polymers in the processed specimens was quite homogeneous due to the small PEG content, although it was more concentrated in the regions close to the feeding channels due to its higher viscosity. Hydrophobic drugs like triclosan could be incorporated causing a minimum degradation during ultrasound processing and suffering an insignificant solubilization during the leaching step. Final scaffolds showed clear bactericide or bacteriostatic effects before and after 10 h of exposure. Cell proliferation of MDCK epithelial cells was higher for TCS loaded porous scaffolds (200%) than for unloaded samples (170%) and non-porous polylactide (PLA) specimens (100%, control). Micrographs showed the absence of non-inhibition areas in both the specimens and the container, confirming the biocompatibility of PLA specimens.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In this work we selected components, developed technology and studied a number of parameters of polymer nanocomposite materials, remembering that the material would have high optical and good mechanical characteristics, good sorption ability in order to ensure high value of the optical signal for a short time while maintaining the initial geometric shape. In addition, if this nanocomposite is used for medicine and biology (biocompatible or biocidal materials or the creation of a sensor based on it), the material must be non-toxic and/or biocompatible. We study the creation of polymer nanocomposites which may be applied as biocompatible materials with new functional parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS A number of polymer nanocomposites based on various urethane-acrylate monomers and nanoparticles of gold, silicon oxides, zinc and/or titanium oxides are obtained, their mechanical (microhardness) properties and wettability (contact angle) are studied. The set of required, biology-related properties of these materials, such as toxicity and sorption of microorganisms are also investigated in order to prove their possible applicability. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The composition of the samples influences their microhardness and the value of contact angle, which means that varying with the monomer and the metallic, oxide nanoparticles composition, we could change these parameters. Besides it, the set of required, biology-related properties of these materials, such as toxicity and sorption of microorganisms were also investigated in order to prove their possible applicability. It was shown that the materials are non-toxic, the adhesion of microorganisms on their surface also could be varied by changing their composition. CONCLUSION The presented polymer nanocomposites with different compositions of monomer and the presence of nanoparticles in them are prospective material for a possible bio-application as it is biocompatible, not toxic. The sorption of microorganism could be varied depending on the type of bacterias, the monomer composition, and nanoparticles.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine rely extensively on biomaterial scaffolds to support cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation physically and chemically in vitro and in vivo. Changes to the surface characteristics of the scaffolds have the greatest impact on cell response. Here, we discuss five dominant surface modification approaches used to biomimetically improve the most common scaffolds for tissue engineering, those based on aliphatic polyesters. Scaffolds of aliphatic polyesters such as poly(l-lactic acid), poly(l-lactic-co-glycolic acid), and poly(ε-caprolactone) are often used in tissue engineering because they provide desirable, tunable properties such as ease of manufacturing, good mechanical properties, and nontoxic degradation products. However, cell-surface interactions necessary for tissue engineering are limited on these materials by their smooth postfabrication surfaces, hydrophobicity, and lack of recognizable biochemical binding sites. The surface modification techniques that have been developed for synthetic polymer scaffolds reduce initial barriers to cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Topographical modification, protein adsorption, mineral coating, functional group incorporation, and biomacromolecule immobilization each contribute through varying mechanisms to improving cell interactions with aliphatic polyester scaffolds. Furthermore, rational combination of methods from these categories can provide nuanced, specific environments for targeted tissue development.

A review of materials for managing bone loss in revision total knee arthroplasty. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 104:109941. [PMID: 31500053 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2019.109941] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2019] [Revised: 06/14/2019] [Accepted: 07/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
In 2014-2015, 61,421 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) were performed in Canada; an increase of about 20% over 2000-2001. Revision total knee arthroplasties (rTKAs) accounted for 6.8% of TKAs performed between 2014 and 2015, and this is estimated to grow another 12% by 2025. rTKAs are typically more complicated than primary TKAs due to the significant loss of femoral and tibial bone stock. The escalating demand and limitations associated with total knee arthroplasty and their revision drives the development of novel treatments. A variety of materials have been utilized to facilitate regeneration of healthy bone around the site of a knee arthroplasty. The selection of these materials is based on the bone defect size and includes bone grafts, graft substitutes and cements. However, all these materials have certain disadvantages such as blood loss, disease transmission (bone grafts), inflammatory response, insufficient mechanical properties (bone graft substitutes) thermal necrosis and stress shielding (bone cement). Recently, the use of metal augments for large bone defects has attracted attention, however they can undergo fretting, corrosion, and stress shielding. All things considered, this review indicates the necessity of developing augments that have structural integrities and biodegradation rates similar to that of human bone. Therefore, the future of bone loss management may lie in fabricating novel bioactive glass augments as they can promote bone healing and implant stability and can degrade with time.

Abstract
Technological advances have provided surgeons with a wide range of biomaterials. Yet improvements are still to be made, especially for large bone defect treatment. Biomaterial scaffolds represent a promising alternative to autologous bone grafts but in spite of the numerous studies carried out on this subject, no biomaterial scaffold is yet completely satisfying. Bioactive glass (BAG) presents many qualifying characteristics but they are brittle and their combination with a plastic polymer appears essential to overcome this drawback. Recent advances have allowed the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid scaffolds combining the osteogenic properties of BAG and the plastic characteristics of polymers. Such biomaterials can now be obtained at room temperature allowing organic doping of the glass/polymer network for a homogeneous delivery of the doping agent. Despite these new avenues, further studies are required to highlight the biological properties of these materials and particularly their behavior once implanted in vivo. This review focuses on BAG with a particular interest in their combination with polymers to form organic-inorganic hybrids for the design of innovative graft strategies.

Abstract
In the field of stem cell therapy, research on the application of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) has flourished because of the various functions. On the other hand, research on the method of cell transplantation has developed from the administration of cell suspensions to cell-sheet engineering and 3D technology. In the trend, a cell transplantation platform named CellSaic, which is a combination of xeno-free recombinant scaffolds in a cell aggregate-like shape, was developed. CellSaic is the cell trans-plantation platform that can prevent the central necrosis within cell aggregates by arranging the cells and petaloid pieces of Recombinant Peptide (RCP) in a mosaic. The prevention of central necrosis is the most significant advantage over other 3D culture systems. This review details the unique characteristics of CellSaic including safety examination results and describes its future application for MSC transplantation. Particularly, in the application of MSCs, it has been reported that the MSC CellSaics increased the effect on improving various symptoms compared with MSCs only in the application of the therapy to Inflamma-tory Bowel Disease (IBD), cerebral infarction, bone cartilage regeneration in joints, and islet transplanta-tion. In accordance with the “One Health” concept, it is anticipated that this technology is expected to con-tribute to companion animal therapy and human therapy in the future.

Abstract
A growing number of studies suggest that the modulation of cell differentiation by biomaterials is critical for tissue engineering. In previous work, we demonstrated that human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are remarkably promising seed cells for bone tissue engineering. In addition, we found that the ionic products of akermanite (Aker) are potential inducers of osteogenic differentiation of iPSCs. Furthermore, composite scaffolds containing polymer and bioceramics have more interesting properties compared to pure bioceramic scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The characteristic of model biomaterials in bone tissue engineering is their ability to control the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells and simultaneously induce the angiogenesis of endothelia cells. Thus, this study aimed at investigating the effects of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/Aker (PLGA-Aker) composite scaffolds on angiogenic and osteogenic differentiation of human iPSCs in order to optimize the scaffold compositions. The results from Alizarin Red S staining, qRT-PCR analysis of osteogenic genes (BMP2, RUNX2, ALP, COL1 and OCN) and angiogenic genes (VEGF and CD31) demonstrated that PLGA/Aker composite scaffolds containing 10% Aker exhibited the highest stimulatory effects on the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of human iPSCs among all scaffolds. After the scaffolds were implanted in nu/nu mice subcutaneous pockets and calvarial defects, H&E staining, BSP immunostaining, qRT-PCR analysis and micro-CT analysis (BMD, BV/TV) indicated that PLGA + 10% Aker scaffolds enhanced the vascularization and osteogenic differentiation of human iPSCs and stimulated the repair of bone defects. Taken together, our work indicated that combining scaffolds containing silicate bioceramic Aker and human iPSCs is a promising approach for the enhancement of bone regeneration. Bioceramics akermanite enhanced vascularization and osteogenic differentiation of human iPSCs in 3D scaffolds in vitro and vivo.![]()

Abstract
An ideal bone substitute requires not only high bioactivity but also sufficient mechanical performance, which is however inaccessible due to the lack of rational structure and composition design. Here, bioactive glass (BG)/hydroxyapatite (HA)/polyethylene (PE) composites with bone-like structure were prepared via a structuring injection molding. The strong and reciprocating shear field offered by the modified injection molding induced plenty of interlocked shish kebabs, mimicking the aligned collagen fibers in the natural bone. Such a bone-like structure enhanced the strength and toughness of the BG/HA/PE composites simultaneously, compensating the mechanical loss caused by the presence of BG. In vitro cell culture assays demonstrated that the combination of BG and HA significantly promoted cell attachment, proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity compared to the use of HA alone. It was attributed to upregulated expression of β-catenin stimulated by BG. The mineralization in simulated body fluid revealed that the BG/HA/PE composite exhibited apatite-forming ability stronger than that of the HA/PE counterpart. The integration of excellent mechanical performance and high bioactivity demonstrated the significant potential of the structured BG/HA/PE composites as load-bearing bone substitutes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Aesthetic reconstruction of the external ear is challenging due to the complex anatomical shape of the auricle. Recently, artificial scaffolds such as Medpor (Stryker, Kalamasoo, MI, USA) have become widely used in ear reconstruction. However, the Medpor scaffold is stiffer than the natural ear, which may lead to discomfort, and moreover has uniform design for every patient. In this study, we investigated whether three-dimensional (3D)-printed artificial polyurethane (PU) scaffolds are suitable for auricular reconstruction. METHODS PU scaffolds were fabricated using 3D printing according to a design derived from a digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) image of the human auricle. The microstructure of the scaffolds was observed using scanning electron microscopy, and the porosity was examined. Cell proliferation on the scaffolds was assessed in vitro using tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells to evaluate the biocompatibility of the scaffolds. The scaffolds were implanted in C57BL/6 mice, and histological analysis was performed. RESULTS The structural study revealed that the 3D-printed porous PU scaffolds have rectangular microstructure with regular pitch and line, as well as high porosity (56.46% ± 10.22%) with a pore diameter of 200 µm. The mechanical properties of the 3D-printed PU scaffolds were similar to those of the human auricle cartilage. Cell proliferation on the PU scaffolds was greater than that on Medpor scaffolds. Histological evaluation demonstrated that the porous parts of the PU scaffolds became filled with collagen and vascular tissue. CONCLUSION Elastic, porous PU scaffolds can be obtained using 3D printing, have biomechanical properties similar to those of the natural ear, and are suitable for use in auricular reconstruction.

Abstract
The design of tissue engineered scaffolds based on polymerized high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPEs) has emerged as a promising bone grafting strategy. We previously reported the ability to 3D print emulsion inks to better mimic the structure and mechanical properties of native bone while precisely matching defect geometry. In the current study, redox-initiated hydrogel carriers were investigated for in situ delivery of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) utilizing the biodegradable macromer, poly(ethylene glycol)-dithiothreitol. Hydrogel carrier properties including network formation time, sol-gel fraction, and swelling ratio were modulated to achieve rapid cure without external stimuli and a target cell-release period of 5-7 days. These in situ carriers enabled improved distribution of hMSCs in 3D printed polyHIPE grafts over standard suspension seeding. Additionally, carrier-loaded polyHIPEs supported sustained cell viability and osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs post-release. In summary, these findings demonstrate the potential of this in situ curing hydrogel carrier to enhance the cell distribution and retention of hMSCs in bone grafts. Although initially focused on improving bone regeneration, the ability to encapsulate cells in a hydrogel carrier without relying on external stimuli that can be attenuated in large grafts or tissues is expected to have a wide range of applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cell is a new type of mesenchymal stem cell that has a potential for tissue regeneration. Gelatin sponges are often used for hemostasis in dental surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the dental pulp stem cells' proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in different layer-by-layer-modified gelatin sponge scaffolds including the G, G + P (gelatin sponge+ poly-l-lysine modification), G + M (gelatin sponge + mineralization modification), and G + M + P (gelatin sponge + mineralization modification + poly-l-lysine modification) groups in vitro and assessed them in vivo. The results showed that dental pulp stem cells had a great potential for osteogenic differentiation. In vitro, the G + M + P group not only enhanced the adhesion and proliferation of dental pulp stem cells but also facilitated their osteogenic differentiation. However, alkaline phosphatase activity was prohibited after modification. In vivo, both dental pulp stem cells and cells from nude mice grew well on the scaffold, and G + M and G + M + P groups could promote the mineralization deposit formation and the expression of osteocalcin in osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells. In conclusion, the combination of dental pulp stem cells and G + M + P scaffold has a great potential for bone tissue engineering.

Biomaterials in Tendon and Skeletal Muscle Tissue Engineering: Current Trends and Challenges. MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11071116.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair tendon and muscle when natural healing fails. Biohybrid constructs obtained after cells’ seeding and culture in dedicated scaffolds have indeed been considered as relevant tools for mimicking native tissue, leading to a better integration in vivo. They can also be employed to perform advanced in vitro studies to model the cell differentiation or regeneration processes. In this review, we report and analyze the different solutions proposed in literature, for the reconstruction of tendon, muscle, and the myotendinous junction. They classically rely on the three pillars of tissue engineering, i.e., cells, biomaterials and environment (both chemical and physical stimuli). We have chosen to present biomimetic or bioinspired strategies based on understanding of the native tissue structure/functions/properties of the tissue of interest. For each tissue, we sorted the relevant publications according to an increasing degree of complexity in the materials’ shape or manufacture. We present their biological and mechanical performances, observed in vitro and in vivo when available. Although there is no consensus for a gold standard technique to reconstruct these musculo-skeletal tissues, the reader can find different ways to progress in the field and to understand the recent history in the choice of materials, from collagen to polymer-based matrices.

Abstract
Optic neuropathies, such as glaucoma and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) lead to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) loss and therefore motivate the application of transplantation technique into disease therapy. However, it is a challenge to direct the transplanted optic nerve axons to the correct location of the retina. The use of appropriate scaffold can promote the proper axon growth. Recently, biocompatible materials have been integrated into the medical field, such as tissue engineering and reconstruction of damaged tissues or organs. We, herein, utilized nano-imprinting to create a scaffold mimicking the in vitro tissue microarchitecture, and guiding the axonal growth and orientation of the RGCs. We observed that the robust, long, and organized axons of human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived RGCs projected axially along the scaffold grooves. The RGCs grown on the scaffold expressed the specific neuronal biomarkers indicating their proper functionality. Thus, based on our in vitro culture system, this device can be useful for the neurophysiological analysis and transplantation for ophthalmic neuropathy treatment.

Abstract
Tissue engineering approaches have been clinically tried to repair damaged articular cartilages. It is an essential step to uniformly seed chondrocytes into 3D scaffolds in order to reconstruct tissue-engineered cartilages in vitro, but the tissue engineering could not have been provided with efficient cell seeding methods. Type I collagen is clinically used and known as a cytocompatible material, having recognition sites for integrins. Collagen gel encapsulating chondrocytes has been tried for making regenerated cartilages, but it is found difficult to have the gel keep its original shape after long-term culture, because of shrinking. On the other hand, 3D scaffolds, either of a nonwoven structure or a sponge-like structure, involve difficulty in that chondrocytes could not be uniformly seeded, although they have adequate initial mechanical properties. In this study, by combining collagen gelation with a nonwoven PLLA scaffold, we achieved uniform cell seeding into the 3D scaffold. Bovine articular chondrocytes were mixed with type I collagen solution, and the solution was poured into the nonwoven PLLA scaffold (1.5 mm thick, f 15 mm). The collagen–chondrocyte mixture was made into gel at 37°C for 1 h. The 0.39% collagen mixture was viscous enough to prevent cells from precipitating during gelation. Almost all chondrocytes were able to be incorporated into the PLLA scaffolds by mixing with collagen solution and subsequently making into gel, while 30–40% of the chondrocytes seeded as a cell suspension were not trapped into the PLLA scaffolds. The method presented, where chondrocytes were mixed with collagen solution, and the mixture was incorporated into a 3D scaffold, then made into gel in the scaffold, could serve as an alternative for in vitro cartilage regeneration, also simultaneously having the advantages of both materials.

Abstract
To treat bone loss that is induced by disease or wounds, bone grafts are commonly used. In dentistry, guided tissue regeneration is effective in the treatment of periodontal diseases. However, bone resorption after implantation is a major problem with the bone graft and guided tissue regeneration technique. This study examines a cell pellet culture system without exogenous scaffolds for bone regeneration. First, we examined the effect of ascorbic acid on cells. Transmission electron microscopic observation revealed that cells formed a three-dimensional structure of multiple cell layers after 5 weeks of culturing in medium containing 50 μg/ml ascorbic acid with the medium changed every 7 days. A single cell pellet was produced by centrifuging cells that were gathered from 10 tissue culture dishes. Van Gieson staining and collagen type I immunostaining showed that the pellet contained collagen fibers and cells that adhered to the collagen fibers. Several of these cell pellets were implanted subcutaneously on the backs of nude mice for 6 weeks. Histology and immunohistochemistry results indicated new bone formation, vascular invasion, and insular areas of calcification. Bone tissue was surrounded by osteoblasts. The appearance of new bone formation is similar to that seen in intramembranous ossification. The present pellet system is reliable and might solve problems of bone resorption after implantation.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is categorized by the destruction of periodontal tissues. Over the years, there have been several clinical techniques and material options that been investigated for periodontal defect repair/regeneration. The development of improved biomaterials for periodontal tissue engineering has significantly improved the available treatment options and their clinical results. Bone replacement graft materials, barrier membranes, various growth factors and combination of these have been used. The available bone tissue replacement materials commonly used include autografts, allografts, xenografts and alloplasts. These graft materials mostly function as osteogenic, osteoinductive and/or osteoconductive scaffolds. Polymers (natural and synthetic) are more widely used as a barrier material in guided tissue regeneration (GTR) and guided bone regeneration (GBR) applications. They work on the principle of epithelial cell exclusion to allow periodontal ligament and alveolar bone cells to repopulate the defect before the normally faster epithelial cells. However, in an attempt to overcome complications related to the epithelial down-growth and/or collapse of the non-rigid barrier membrane and to maintain space, clinicians commonly use a combination of membranes with hard tissue grafts. This article aims to review various available natural tissues and biomaterial based bone replacement graft and membrane options used in periodontal regeneration applications.

Abstract
Aliphatic biodegradable polyesters have been the most widely used synthetic polymers for developing biodegradable devices as alternatives for the currently used permanent medical devices. The performances during biodegradation process play crucial roles for final realization of their functions. Because physiological and biochemical environment in vivo significantly affects biodegradation process, large numbers of studies on effects of mechanical loads on the degradation of aliphatic biodegradable polyesters have been launched during last decades. In this review article, we discussed the mechanism of biodegradation and several different mechanical loads that have been reported to affect the biodegradation process. Other physiological and biochemical factors related to mechanical loads were also discussed. The mechanical load could change the conformational strain energy and morphology to weaken the stability of the polymer. Besides, the load and pattern could accelerate the loss of intrinsic mechanical properties of polymers. This indicated that investigations into effects of mechanical loads on the degradation should be indispensable. More combination condition of mechanical loads and multiple factors should be considered in order to keep the degradation rate controllable and evaluate the degradation process in vivo accurately. Only then can the degradable devise achieve the desired effects and further expand the special applications of aliphatic biodegradable polyesters.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate influences of lyophilization factors and gelatin concentration on pore structures of ACG sponge. ACG sponges of different freezing temperatures (-30, -80 and -196oC), freezing times (1, 2 and 24 h), gelatin concentrations (0.6%AC+0.15%G, 0.6%AC+0.6%G and 0.6%AC+2.4%G), and with 500 μM fluvastatin were fabricated. Pore structures including porosity and pore size were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and ImageJ. The cytotoxic effects of ACG sponges were evaluated in vitro. Freezing temperature did not affect porosity while high freezing temperature (-30oC) increased pore size. The high gelatin concentration group (0.6%AC+2.4%G) had decreased porosity and pore size. Freezing time and 500 μM fluvastatin did not affect pore structures. The cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays revealed that ACG sponges had no cytotoxic effects on human mesenchymal stromal cell growth and proliferation. These results indicate that ACG sponge may be a good biomaterial scaffold for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The development of conducting 3D structured biocompatible scaffolds for the growth of electroresponsive cells is critical in the field of tissue engineering. This work reports the synthesis and 3D processing of UV-crosslinkable conducting cytocompatible hydrogels that are prepared from methacrylated chitosan (ChiMA) containing graphenic nanosheets. The addition of chemically converted graphene resulted in mechanical and electrical properties of the composite that were significantly better than ChiMA itself, as well as improved adhesion, proliferation and spreading of L929 fibroblasts cells. The chemically converted graphene/ChiMA hydrogels were amenable to 3D printing and this was used to produce multilayer scaffolds with enhanced mechanical properties through UV-crosslinking.

Abstract
Polymerized high internal phase emulsions (polyHIPEs) are highly porous constructs currently under investigation as tissue engineered scaffolds. We previously reported on the potential of redox-initiated polyHIPEs as injectable bone grafts that space fill irregular defects with improved integration and rapid cure. Upon subsequent investigation, the radical-initiated cure of these systems rendered them susceptible to oxygen inhibition with an associated increase in uncured macromer in the clinical setting. In the current study, polyHIPEs with increased resistance to oxygen inhibition were fabricated utilizing a tetrafunctional thiol, pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptoproprionate), and the biodegradable macromer, propylene fumarate dimethacrylate. Increased concentrations of the tetrathiol additive provided improved oxygen resistance as confirmed by polyHIPE gel fraction while retaining the requisite rapid cure rate, compressive properties, and pore architecture for use as an injectable bone graft. Additionally, thiol-methacrylate polyHIPEs exhibited increased degradation under accelerated conditions and supported critical markers of human mesenchymal stem cell activity. In summary, we have improved upon current methods of fabricating injectable polyHIPE grafts to meet translational design goals of improved polymerization kinetics under clinically relevant conditions without sacrificing key scaffold properties.

Abstract
In the present report, we have generated osteoblast-like cells derived from mouse induced-pluripotent stem (iPS) cells on PLGA with osteoinduction medium in vitro and in vivo. The cell culture period was 2 weeks. At 2 weeks, mRNA level of type I collagen was significantly higher than at 1 week. Osteocalcin mRNA level at 2 weeks was tendency to increase compared with at 1 week. And the cells cultured on PLGA were positive for immunofluorescent staining of osteocalcin and alizarin red S staining. The scaffold and osteogenic-like cells induced in vitro were implanted subcutaneously into SCID mice. In resected teratoma, hard tissues resembling bone were observed mixed with other tissues on the scaffold. The sum of these findings suggests that PLGA does not disturb the osteogenesis of iPS cells.

Abstract
Nano-hydroxyapatite/polyamide 66 (nHA/PA66) porous scaffolds were fabricated by a phase inversion method. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and silk fibroin (SF) were used to modify the surface of the nHA/PA66 scaffolds by freeze-drying and cross-linking. Dexamethasone was absorbed to the CNTs to promote the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The cell viability of BMSCs was investigated by changing the concentration of the CNT dispersion, and the most biocompatible scaffold was selected. In addition, the morphology and mechanical property of the scaffolds were investigated. The results showed that the nHA/PA66 scaffolds modified with CNTs and SF met the requirements of bone tissue engineering scaffolds. The dexamethasone-loaded CNT/SF-nHA/PA66 composite scaffold promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and the drug-loaded scaffolds are expected to function as effective bone tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
In addition to excellent biocompatibility and mechanical performance, the new generation of bone and craniofacial implants are expected to proactively contribute to the regeneration process and dynamically interact with the host tissue. To this end, integration and sustained delivery of therapeutic agents has become a rapidly expanding area. The incorporated active molecules can offer supplementary features including promoting oteoconduction and angiogenesis, impeding bacterial infection and modulating host body reaction. Major limitations of the current practices consist of low drug stability overtime, poor control of release profile and kinetics as well as complexity of finding clinically appropriate drug dosage. In consideration of the multifaceted cascade of bone regeneration process, this research is moving towards dual/multiple drug delivery, where precise control on simultaneous or sequential delivery, considering the possible synergetic interaction of the incorporated bioactive factors is of utmost importance. Herein, recent advancements in fabrication of synthetic load bearing implants equipped with various drug delivery systems are reviewed. Smart drug delivery solutions, newly developed to provide higher tempo-spatial control on the delivery of the pharmaceutical agents for targeted and stimuli responsive delivery are highlighted. The future trend of implants with bone drug delivery mechanisms and the most common challenges hindering commercialization and the bench to bedside progress of the developed technologies are covered.

Abstract
Composite films made from poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and negative ion powder (NIP, opal powder) were fabricated and the growth of human osteoblasts cultured in vitro on these composite films was assessed. The surface properties of the composite film and the control (100% PLLA) were investigated by contact angle and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The former indicated that hydrophilicity did not change significantly, whereas the latter indicated that the surface of the composite films was not as smooth as the control, but without holes or caves. After osteoblast cells were seeded on the composite and control films, the cell densities and the morphology on these films were studied by light microscopy and SEM. The differential function of the cells was assessed by testing their alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. These results indicate that the addition of powder improved the adhesion between the osteoblasts and the composite films. The improvement came from the negative ions which were given off by the negative ion powder. The mechanism of negative ion was reviewed and a model of the mechanism was developed. This paper provides the first evidence that negative powder (functional material) can be used to fabricate composite films with PLLA for better cell growth.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymer microspheres have emerged as cell carriers for the regeneration and repair of irregularly shaped tissue defects due to their injectability, controllable biodegradability and capacity for drug incorporation and release. Notably, recent advances in nanotechnology allowed the manipulation of the physical and chemical properties of the microspheres at the nanoscale, creating nanostructured microspheres mimicking the composition and/or structure of natural extracellular matrix. These nanostructured microspheres, including nanocomposite microspheres and nanofibrous microspheres, have been employed as cell carriers for tissue regeneration. They enhance cell attachment and proliferation, promote positive cell-carrier interactions and facilitate stem cell differentiation for target tissue regeneration. This review highlights the recent advances in nanostructured microspheres that are employed as injectable, biomimetic and cell-instructive cell carriers.

Abstract
During the last decade biomaterial sciences and tissue engineering have become new scientific fields supplying rising demand of regenerative therapy. Tissue engineering requires consolidation of a broad knowledge of cell biology and modern biotechnology investigating biocompatibility of materials and their application for the reconstruction of damaged organs and tissues. Stem cell-based tissue regeneration started from the direct cell transplantation into damaged tissues or blood vessels. However, it is difficult to track transplanted cells and keep them in one particular place of diseased organ. Recently, new technologies such as cultivation of stem cell on the scaffolds and subsequently their implantation into injured tissue have been extensively developed. Successful tissue regeneration requires scaffolds with particular mechanical stability or biodegradability, appropriate size, surface roughness and porosity to provide a suitable microenvironment for the sufficient cell-cell interaction, cell migration, proliferation and differentiation. Further functioning of implanted cells highly depends on the scaffold pore sizes that play an essential role in nutrient and oxygen diffusion and waste removal. In addition, pore sizes strongly influence cell adhesion, cell-cell interaction and cell transmigration across the membrane depending on the various purposes of tissue regeneration. Therefore, this review will highlight contemporary tendencies in application of non-degradable scaffolds and stem cells in regenerative medicine with a particular focus on the pore sizes significantly affecting final recover of diseased organs.

Abstract
In the field of tissue engineering, there is a need for methods that allow assessing the performance of tissue-engineered constructs noninvasively in vitro and in vivo. To date, histological analysis is the golden standard to retrieve information on tissue growth, cellular distribution, and cell fate on tissue-engineered constructs after in vitro cell culture or on explanted specimens after in vivo applications. Yet, many advances have been made to optimize imaging techniques for monitoring tissue-engineered constructs with a sub-mm or μm resolution. Many imaging modalities have first been developed for clinical applications, in which a high penetration depth has been often more important than lateral resolution. In this study, we have reviewed the current state of the art in several imaging approaches that have shown to be promising in monitoring cell fate and tissue growth upon in vitro culture. Depending on the aimed tissue type and scaffold properties, some imaging methods are more applicable than others. Optical methods are mostly suited for transparent materials such as hydrogels, whereas magnetic resonance-based methods are mostly applied to obtain contrast between hard and soft tissues regardless of their transparency. Overall, this review shows that the field of imaging in scaffold-based tissue engineering is developing at a fast pace and has the potential to overcome the limitations of destructive endpoint analysis.
