Abstract
Stroke is the second result for death and ischemic stroke constitutes most of all stroke cases. Ischemic stroke takes place when blood clot or embolus blocks cerebral vessel and interrupts blood flow, which often leads to brain damage, permanent disability, or death. There is a 4.5-h (golden hour) treatment window to restore blood flow prior to permanent neurological impairment results. Current stroke treatments consist mechanical system or thrombolytic drug therapy to disrupt or dissolve thrombus. Promising method for stroke treatment is mechanical retrieving of thrombi employing device deployed endovascularly. Advent of smart materials has led to research fabrication of several minimally invasive endovascular devices that take advantage of new materials capabilities. One of these capabilities is shape memory, is capability of material to store temporary form, then activate to primary shape as subjected to stimuli. Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are employed as good materials for thrombectomy device fabrication. Therefore, current review presents thrombectomy device development and fabrication with SMPs. Design, performance, limitations, and in vitro or in vivo clinical results of SMP-based thrombectomy devices are identified. Review also sheds light on SMP's future outlook and recommendations for thrombectomy device application, opening a new era for advanced materials in materials science.

Abstract
4D (bio-)printing endows 3D printed (bio-)materials with multiple functionalities and dynamic properties. 4D printed materials have been recently used in biomedical engineering for the design and fabrication of biomedical devices, such as stents, occluders, microneedles, smart 3D-cell engineered microenvironments, drug delivery systems, wound closures, and implantable medical devices. However, the success of 4D printing relies on the rational design of 4D printed objects, the selection of smart materials, and the availability of appropriate types of external (multi-)stimuli. Here, this work first highlights the different types of smart materials, external stimuli, and design strategies used in 4D (bio-)printing. Then, it presents a critical review of the biomedical applications of 4D printing and discusses the future directions of biomedical research in this exciting area, including in vivo tissue regeneration studies, the implementation of multiple materials with reversible shape memory behaviors, the creation of fast shape-transformation responses, the ability to operate at the microscale, untethered activation and control, and the application of (machine learning-based) modeling approaches to predict the structure-property and design-shape transformation relationships of 4D (bio)printed constructs.

Abstract
In the field of tissue engineering, 3D printed shape memory polymers (SMPs) are drawing increased interest. Understanding how these 3D printed SMPs degrade is critical for their use in the clinic, as small changes in material properties can significantly change how they behave after in vivo implantation. Degradation of 3D printed acrylated poly(glycerol-dodecanedioate) (APGD) was examined via in vitro hydrolytic, enzymatic, and in vivo subcutaneous implantation assays. Three APGD manufacturing modalities were assessed to determine differences in degradation. Material extrusion samples showed significantly larger mass and volume loss at 2 months, compared to lasercut and vat photopolymerization samples, under both enzymatic and in vivo degradation. Critically, melt transition temperatures of degraded PGD increased over time in vitro, but not in vivo. Histology of tissue surrounding APGD implants showed no significant signs of inflammation compared to controls, providing a promising outlook for use of 3D printed APGD devices in the clinic.

Abstract
Current additive manufacturing technologies wherein as-printed simple two-dimensional (2D) structures morph into complex tissue mimetic three-dimensional (3D) shapes are limited to multi-material hydrogel systems, which necessitates multiple fabrication steps and specific materials. This work utilizes a single shape memory thermoplastic polymer (SMP), PLMC (polylactide-co-trimethylene carbonate), to achieve programmable shape deformation through anisotropic design and infill angles encoded during 3D printing. The shape changes were first computationally predicted through finite element analysis (FEA) simulations and then experimentally validated through quantitative correlation. Rectangular 2D sheets could self-roll into complete hollow tubes of specific diameters (ranging from ≈6 mm to ≈10 mm) and lengths (as long as 40 mm), as quantitatively predicted from FEA simulations within one minute at relatively lower temperatures (≈80 °C). Furthermore, shape memory properties were demonstrated post-shape change to exhibit dual shape morphing at temperatures close to physiological levels. The tubes (retained as the permanent shape) were deformed into flat sheets (temporary shape), seeded with endothelial cells (at T < Tg), and thereafter triggered at ≈37 °C back into tubes (permanent shape), utilizing the shape memory properties to yield bioresorbable tubes with cellularized lumens for potential use as vascular grafts with improved long-term patency. Additionally, out-of-plane bending and twisting deformation were demonstrated in complex structures by careful control of infill angles that can unprecedently expand the scope of cellularized biomimetic 3D shapes. This work demonstrates the potential of the combination of shape morphing and SMP behaviors at physiological temperatures to yield next-generation smart implants with precise control over dimensions for tissue repair and regeneration.

Four-dimensional (4D) printing is a new generation of additive manufacturing technology that combines shape memory materials and 3D printing technology. Currently, 4D-printed SMPs and SMPCs are gaining considerable research attention and are finding use in various fields, including biomedical science. This review introduces SMPs, SMPCs, and 4D printing technologies, highlighting several special 4D-printed structures. It summarizes the recent research progress of 4D-printed SMPs and SMPCs in various fields, with particular emphasis on biomedical applications. Additionally, it presents an overview of the challenges and development prospects of 4D-printed SMPs and SMPCs and provides a preliminary discussion and useful reference for the research and application of 4D-printed SMPs and SMPCs.

Abstract
Rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare cancer arising in skeletal muscle that typically impacts children and young adults. It is a worldwide challenge in child health as treatment outcomes for metastatic and recurrent disease still pose a major concern for both basic and clinical scientists. The treatment strategies for rhabdomyosarcoma include multi-agent chemotherapies after surgical resection with or without ionization radiotherapy. In this comprehensive review, we first provide a detailed clinical understanding of rhabdomyosarcoma including its classification and subtypes, diagnosis, and treatment strategies. Later, we focus on chemotherapy strategies for this childhood sarcoma and discuss the impact of three mechanisms that are involved in the chemotherapy response including apoptosis, macro-autophagy, and the unfolded protein response. Finally, we discuss in vivo mouse and zebrafish models and in vitro three-dimensional bioengineering models of rhabdomyosarcoma to screen future therapeutic approaches and promote muscle regeneration.

Abstract
With the advancement of additive manufacturing (AM), customized vascular stents can now be fabricated to fit the curvatures and sizes of a narrowed or blocked blood vessel, thereby reducing the possibility of thrombosis and restenosis. More importantly, AM enables the design and fabrication of complex and functional stent unit cells that would otherwise be impossible to realize with conventional manufacturing techniques. Additionally, AM makes fast design iterations possible while also shortening the development time of vascular stents. This has led to the emergence of a new treatment paradigm in which custom and on-demand-fabricated stents will be used for just-in-time treatments. This review is focused on the recent advances in AM vascular stents aimed at meeting the mechanical and biological requirements. First, the biomaterials suitable for AM vascular stents are listed and briefly described. Second, we review the AM technologies that have been so far used to fabricate vascular stents as well as the performances they have achieved. Subsequently, the design criteria for the clinical application of AM vascular stents are discussed considering the currently encountered limitations in materials and AM techniques. Finally, the remaining challenges are highlighted and some future research directions are proposed to realize clinically-viable AM vascular stents. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Vascular stents have been widely used for the treatment of vascular disease. The recent progress in additive manufacturing (AM) has provided unprecedented opportunities for revolutionizing traditional vascular stents. In this manuscript, we review the applications of AM to the design and fabrication of vascular stents. This is an interdisciplinary subject area that has not been previously covered in the published review articles. Our objective is to not only present the state-of-the-art of AM biomaterials and technologies but to also critically assess the limitations and challenges that need to be overcome to speed up the clinical adoption of AM vascular stents with both anatomical superiority and mechanical and biological functionalities that exceed those of the currently available mass-produced devices.

Abstract
Shape memory polymers are gaining increasing attention, especially in the medical field, due to their ability to recover high deformations, low activation temperatures, and relatively high actuation stress. Furthermore, shape memory polymers can be applied as fiber-based solutions for the development of smart devices used in many fields, e.g., industry 4.0, medicine, and skill learning. These kind of applications require sensors, actors, and conductive structures. Textile structures address these applications by meeting requirements such as being flexible, adaptable, and wearable. In this work, the influence of spinning methods and parameters on the effect of shape memory polymer yarns was investigated, comparing melt and wet spinning. It is shown that the spinning method can significantly influence the strain fixation and generated stress during the activation of the shape memory effect. Furthermore, for wet spinning, the draw ratio could affect the stress conversion, influencing its efficiency. Therefore, the selection of the spinning process is essential for the setting of application-specific shape-changing properties.

Abstract
Nature's materials have evolved over time to be able to respond to environmental stimuli by generating complex structures that can change their functions in response to distance, time, and direction of stimuli. A number of technical efforts are currently being made to improve printing resolution, shape fidelity, and printing speed to mimic the structural design of natural materials with three-dimensional (3D) printing. Unfortunately, this technology is limited by the fact that printed objects are static and cannot be reshaped dynamically in response to stimuli. In recent years, several smart materials have been developed that can undergo dynamic morphing in response to a stimulus, thus resolving this issue. Four-dimensional (4D) printing refers to a manufacturing process involving additive manufacturing, smart materials, and specific geometries. It has become an essential technology for biomedical engineering and has the potential to create a wide range of useful biomedical products. This paper will discuss the concept of 4D bioprinting and the recent developments in smart matrials, which can be actuated by different stimuli and be exploited to develop biomimetic materials and structures, with significant implications for pharmaceutics and biomedical research, as well as prospects for the future.

Abstract
In the last decades, 3D printing has played a crucial role as an innovative technology for tissue and organ fabrication, patient-specific orthoses, drug delivery, and surgical planning. However, biomedical materials used for 3D printing are usually static and unable to dynamically respond or transform within the internal environment of the body. These materials are fabricated ex situ, which involves first printing on a planar substrate and then deploying it to the target surface, thus resulting in a possible mismatch between the printed part and the target surfaces. The emergence of 4D printing addresses some of these drawbacks, opening an attractive path for the biomedical sector. By preprogramming smart materials, 4D printing is able to manufacture structures that dynamically respond to external stimuli. Despite these potentials, 4D printed dynamic materials are still in their infancy of development. The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) could push these technologies forward enlarging their applicability, boosting the design space of smart materials by selecting promising ones with desired architectures, properties, and functions, reducing the time to manufacturing, and allowing the in situ printing directly on target surfaces achieving high-fidelity of human body micro-structures. In this review, an overview of 4D printing as a fascinating tool for designing advanced smart materials is provided. Then will be discussed the recent progress in AI-empowered 3D and 4D printing with open-loop and closed-loop methods, in particular regarding shape-morphing 4D-responsive materials, printing on moving targets, and surgical robots for in situ printing. Lastly, an outlook on 5D printing is given as an advanced future technique, in which AI will assume the role of the fifth dimension to empower the effectiveness of 3D and 4D printing for developing intelligent systems in the biomedical sector and beyond.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing (AM) has gained significant attention due to its ability to drive technological development as a sustainable, flexible, and customizable manufacturing scheme. Among the various AM techniques, direct ink writing (DIW) has emerged as the most versatile 3D printing technique for the broadest range of materials. DIW allows printing of practically any material, as long as the precursor ink can be engineered to demonstrate appropriate rheological behavior. This technique acts as a unique pathway to introduce design freedom, multifunctionality, and stability simultaneously into its printed structures. Here, a comprehensive review of DIW of complex 3D structures from various materials, including polymers, ceramics, glass, cement, graphene, metals, and their combinations through multimaterial printing is presented. The review begins with an overview of the fundamentals of ink rheology, followed by an in-depth discussion of the various methods to tailor the ink for DIW of different classes of materials. Then, the diverse applications of DIW ranging from electronics to food to biomedical industries are discussed. Finally, the current challenges and limitations of this technique are highlighted, followed by its prospects as a guideline toward possible futuristic innovations.

Abstract
![]()
Recent decades have
seen substantial interest in the development
and application of biocompatible shape memory polymers (SMPs), a class
of “smart materials” that can respond to external stimuli.
Although many studies have used SMP platforms triggered by thermal
or photothermal events to study cell mechanobiology, SMPs triggered
by cell activity have not yet been demonstrated. In a previous work,
we developed an SMP that can respond directly to enzymatic activity.
Here, our goal was to build on that work by demonstrating enzymatic
triggering of an SMP in response to the presence of enzyme-secreting
human cells. To achieve this phenomenon, poly(ε-caprolactone)
(PCL) and Pellethane were dual electrospun to form a fiber mat, where
PCL acted as a shape-fixing component that is labile to lipase, an
enzyme secreted by multiple cell types including HepG2 (human hepatic
cancer) cells, and Pellethane acted as a shape memory component that
is enzymatically stable. Cell-responsive shape memory performance
and cytocompatibility were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed
by thermal analysis (thermal gravimetric analysis and differential
scanning calorimetry), surface morphology analysis (scanning electron
microscopy), and by incubation with HepG2 cells in the presence or
absence of heparin (an anticoagulant drug present in the human liver
that increases the secretion of hepatic lipase). The results characterize
the shape-memory functionality of the material and demonstrate successful
cell-responsive shape recovery with greater than 90% cell viability.
Collectively, the results provide the first demonstration of a cytocompatible
SMP responding to a trigger that is cellular in origin.

Abstract
Smart materials are able to react to different stimuli and adapt their shape to the environment. Although the development of 3D printing technology increased the reproducibility and accuracy of scaffold fabrication, 3D printed scaffolds can still be further improved to resemble the native anatomy. 4D printing is an innovative fabrication approach combining 3D printing and smart materials, also known as stimuli-responsive materials. Especially for cardiovascular implants, 4D printing can promisingly create programmable, adaptable prostheses, which facilitates implantation and/or create the topology of the target tissue post implantation. In this review, the principles of 4D printing with a focus on the applied stimuli are explained and the underlying 3D printing technologies are presented. Then, according to the type of stimulus, recent applications of 4D printing in constructing smart cardiovascular implants and future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
3D printed shape memory polymers (SMP) were formed by combining aza-Michael addition and light initiated radical polymerization. Amine consumption and acrylate conversion were monitored by 1H-NMR and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. Dynamic mechanical analysis and cyclic thermomechanical tensile tests enabled direct observation of the polymer network changes. Increased homogeneity of the 3D network and enhanced SMP properties were achieved after the reaction between residual acrylate functions trapped in the vitrified medium with the secondary amines formed during the process. This allows the fabrication of shape memory objects by 3D printing. A shape memory polymer formed from combined aza-Michael addition and radical photopolymerization.![]()

Abstract
Nature's material systems during evolution have developed the ability to respond and adapt to environmental stimuli through the generation of complex structures capable of varying their functions across direction, distances and time. 3D printing technologies can recapitulate structural motifs present in natural materials, and efforts are currently being made on the technological side to improve printing resolution, shape fidelity, and printing speed. However, an intrinsic limitation of this technology is that printed objects are static and thus inadequate to dynamically reshape when subjected to external stimuli. In recent years, this issue has been addressed with the design and precise deployment of smart materials that can undergo a programmed morphing in response to a stimulus. The term 4D printing was coined to indicate the combined use of additive manufacturing, smart materials, and careful design of appropriate geometries. In this review, we report the recent progress in the design and development of smart materials that are actuated by different stimuli and their exploitation within additive manufacturing to produce biomimetic structures with important repercussions in different but interrelated biomedical areas.

Abstract
Degradable polymers are used widely in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Maturing capabilities in additive manufacturing coupled with advances in orthogonal chemical functionalization methodologies have enabled a rapid evolution of defect-specific form factors and strategies for designing and creating bioactive scaffolds. However, these defect-specific scaffolds, especially when utilizing degradable polymers as the base material, present processing challenges that are distinct and unique from other classes of materials. The goal of this review is to provide a guide for the fabrication of biodegradable polymer-based scaffolds that includes the complete pathway starting from selecting materials, choosing the correct fabrication method, and considering the requirements for tissue specific applications of the scaffold.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing has attracted a lot of attention in fabrication of bio medical devices and structures in recent years. 4D printing, a new class of 3D printing where time is considered as a 4th dimension, allows us to build biological structures such as scaffolds, implants, and stents with dynamic performance mimicking the body's natural tissues. In order to properly exploit the capabilities of this fabrication method, understanding and exploiting the shape memory materials is critical. These 'smart' materials are responsive to the external stimuli which eliminates the need for utilizing the sensors, and batteries. These stimuli-triggered 'smart' materials possess a dynamic behavior unlike the static scaffolds based on conventional manufacturing techniques. In this review, recent advances on application of 4D printing for manufacturing of this type of materials and other high-performance biomaterials for medical applications have been discussed.

Abstract
4D printing has attracted academic interest in the recent years because it endows static printed structures with dynamic properties with the change of time. The shapes, functionalities, or properties of the 4D printed objects could alter under various stimuli such as heat, light, electric, and magnetic field. Briefly, 4D printing is the development of 3D printing with the fourth dimension of time. Among the fabrication techniques that have been employed for 4D printing, the direct ink writing technique shows superiority due to its open source for various types of materials.
