Abstract
Research in stomatology (dental medicine) continues to expand globally and is oriented towards solving clinical issues, focusing on clarifying the clinical relevance and potential mechanisms of oral-systemic connections via clinical epidemiology, oral microecological characterization, and the establishment of animal models. Interdisciplinary integration of materials science and tissue engineering with stomatology is expected to lead to the creation of innovative materials and technologies to better resolve the most prevalent and challenging clinical issues such as peri-implantitis, soft and hard tissue defects, and dentin hypersensitivity. With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI), 5th generation mobile communication technology (5G), and big data applications, "intelligent stomatology" is emerging to build models for better clinical diagnosis and management, accelerate the reform of education, and support the growth and advancement of scientific research. Here, we summarized the current research status, and listed the future prospects and limitations of these three aspects, aiming to provide a basis for more accurate etiological exploration, novel treatment methods, and abundant big data analysis in stomatology to promote the translation of research achievements into practical applications for both clinicians and the public.

Abstract
Compared with artificial vascular grafts, bottom-up tubular cell sheets (TCSs) without scaffolds have shown promise for patients with cardiovascular disease. However, TCS therapy also faces the challenges of lengthy maturation time, elaborate operation, and weak mechanical strength. In this work, a structured small-diameter vascular graft (SDVG), consisting of three layers of TCSs, with different cell types and arrangements, was fabricated using layer-by-layer assembly of naturally formed TCSs and further cell culture. To this end, a surface-patterned collagen-coated cylindrical substrate was designed for the efficient harvesting of naturally formed and well-aligned TCSs. The patterned collagen (type I) layer facilitated the adhesion and orientation of cells, and a continuous tubular cell monolayer was naturally formed after approximately 4 days in cell culture. Biocompatible near-infrared (NIR) light was used to trigger the photothermal phase transition of the collagen coated on the cylindrical substrate to dissociate the collagen layer. As a result, an intact TCS could be harvested within a few minutes. These naturally formed and well-aligned TCSs exhibited outstanding free-standing performance without rugosity, facilitating their operability and practical application. A ring tensile test showed that orientation was critical for improving the mechanical properties of TCSs. The layer-by-layer assembly of SDVGs not only is easy to manipulate and has a short preparation time but also overcomes the bottleneck of forming a hierarchically structured vascular graft. This approach shows promise for repairing damaged blood vessels.

Abstract
Bone defects that are congenital or the result of infection, malignancy, or trauma represent a challenge to the global healthcare system. To address this issue, multiple research groups have been developing novel cell sheet technology (CST)-based approaches to promote bone regeneration. These methods hold promise for use in regenerative medicine because they preserve cell-cell contacts, cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and the protein makeup of cell membranes. This review introduces the concept and preparation system of the cell sheet (CS), explores the application of CST in bone regeneration, highlights the current states of the bone regeneration via CST, and offers perspectives on the challenges and future research direction of translating current knowledge from the lab to the clinic.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cell sheet technology has been reported to be an effective method in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Here, we summarized several types of nanomaterials used to harvest cell sheets. Currently, the technology is divided into four categories according to the mechanisms: light-induced cell sheet technology, thermo-responsive cell sheet technology, magnetic-controlled cell sheet technology, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cell sheet technology. Furthermore, some studies have been conducted to show that nanomaterial-based cell sheets produce satisfying outcomes in the regeneration of bone, skeletal muscle, cardiac tissue, and tendon, as well as angiogenesis and osseointegration. Nevertheless, some shortcomings still exist, such as comprehensive preparation, unclear safety, and cell quality. Thus, future studies should aim to produce more types of nanomaterials to solve this problem.

Abstract
Regulation of cell behaviors and even cell fates is of great significance in diverse biomedical applications such as cancer treatment, cell-based therapy, and tissue engineering. During the past decades, diverse methods have been developed to regulate cell behaviors such as applying external stimuli, delivering exogenous molecules into cell interior and changing the physicochemical properties of the substrates where cells adhere. Photothermal scaffolds/surfaces refer to a kind of materials embedded or coated with photothermal agents that can absorb light with proper wavelength (usually in near infrared region) and convert light energy to heat; the generated heat shows great potential for regulation of cell behaviors in different ways. In the current review, we summarize the recent research progress, especially over the past decade, of using photothermal scaffolds/surfaces to regulate cell behaviors, which could be further categorized into three types: (i) killing the tumor cells via hyperthermia or thermal ablation, (ii) engineering cells by intracellular delivery of exogenous molecules via photothermal poration of cell membranes, and (iii) releasing a single cell or an intact cell sheet via modulation of surface physicochemical properties in response to heat. In the end, challenges and perspectives in these areas are commented.

Abstract
Cell sheet engineering represents a new era of precise and efficient regenerative medicine, but its efficacy is limited by the elaborative preparation and the weak mechanics. Herein, a near-infrared (NIR)-triggered dynamic wrinkling biointerface was designed for rapid acquisition of practical cell sheets. The biocompatible NIR can initiate the photothermal-mechanical linkage cascade to efficiently dissolve the collagen supporting layer and release the high-quality cell sheets. The interfacial shear force generates with the dynamic wrinkling, playing an active role in accelerating the cell sheet release. High-quality and self-supporting cell sheets can be harvested within a few minutes, demonstrating a new paradigm of photothermal-mechanical manipulation. The transplantable cell sheets with outstanding physiological and mechanical performances were proven to promote wound healing in skin regeneration. This method may open a completely new front in thermal and mechanical responsive cascade to harvest cell sheets, facilitating their wide applications in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Various stimuli have been applied to harvest complete cell sheets, including temperature, magnetic, pH, and electrical stimuli. Cell sheet technology is a convenient and efficient approach with beneficial effects for tissue regeneration and cell therapy. Lights of different wavelengths, such as ultraviolet (UV), visible light, and near infrared ray (NIR) light, were confirmed to aid in fabricating a cell sheet. Changes in the wettability, potential, or water content of the culturing surfaces that occur under light illumination induce conformational changes in the adhesive proteins or collagens, which then leads to cell sheet detachment. However, the current approaches face several limitations, as few standards for safe light illumination have been proposed to date, and require a careful control of the wavelength, power, and irradiation time. Future studies should aim at generating new materials for culturing and releasing cell sheets rapidly and effectively.
