BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 153:213565. [PMID: 37542914 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/07/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to improve the mechanical and biological properties of alginate-based hydrogels. For this purpose, in-situ forming hydrogels were prepared by dual crosslinking of Alginate (Alg)/Oxidized Alginate (OAlg)/Silk Fibroin (SF) through simultaneous ionic gelation using CaCO3-GDL and Schiff-base reaction. The resulting hydrogels were characterized by FTIR, SEM, compressive modulus, and rheological tests. Compared to the physically-crosslinked alginate hydrogel, the compressive modulus of dual-crosslinked Alg/OAlg/SF hydrogel increased from 28 to 67 kPa, due to the covalent imine bond formation. Then, MTT and DAPI staining assays were performed to demonstrate the biocompatibility of hydrogel. Furthermore, the differentiation potential of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells encapsulated in hydrogel scaffolds to bone tissue was tested by ALP activity, Alizarin Red staining, and real-time PCR. The overall results showed the potential of Alginate/Oxidized Alginate/Silk Fibroin hydrogel scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Pectin is a polysaccharide extracted from various plants, such as apples, oranges, lemons, and it possesses some beneficial effects on human health, including being hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic. Therefore, pectin is used in various pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Meanwhile, its low mechanical strength and fast degradation rate limit its usage as drug delivery devices and tissue engineering scaffolds. To enhance these properties, it can be modified or combined with other organic molecules or polymers and/or inorganic compounds. These materials can be prepared as nano sized drug carriers in the form of spheres, capsules, hydrogels, self assamled micelles, etc., for treatment purposes (mostly cancer). Different composites or blends of pectin can also be produced as membranes, sponges, hydrogels, or 3D printed matrices for tissue regeneration applications. This review is concentrated on the properties of pectin based materials and focus especially on the utilization of these materials as drug carriers and tissue engineering scaffolds, including 3D printed and 3D bioprinted systems covering the studies in the last decade and especially in the last 5 years.

Abstract
Silkworm silk protein fibroin and spider silk spidroin are known biocompatible and natural biodegradable polymers in biomedical applications. The presence of β-sheets in silk fibroin and spider spidroin conformation improves their mechanical properties. The strength and toughness of pure recombinant silkworm fibroin and spidroin are relatively low due to reduced molecular weight. Hence, blending is the foremost approach of recent studies to optimize silk fibroin and spidroin's mechanical properties. As summarised in the present review, numerous research investigations evaluate the blending of natural and synthetic polymers. The effects of blending silk fibroin and spidroin with natural and synthetic polymers on the mechanical properties are discussed in this review article. Indeed, combining natural and synthetic polymers with silk fibroin and spidroin changes their conformation and structure, fine-tuning the blends' mechanical properties. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Silkworm and spider silk proteins (silk fibroin and spidroin) are biocompatible and biodegradable natural polymers having different types of biomedical applications. Their mechanical and biological properties may be tuned through various strategies such as blending, conjugating and cross-linking. Blending is the most common method to modify fibroin and spidroin properties on demand, this review article aims to categorize and evaluate the effects of blending fibroin and spidroin with different natural and synthetic polymers. Increased polarity and hydrophilicity end to hydrogen bonding triggered conformational change in fibroin and spidroin blends. The effect of polarity and hydrophilicity of the blending compound is discussed and categorized to a combinatorial, synergistic and indirect impacts. This outlook guides us to choose the blending compounds mindfully as this mixing affects the biochemical and biophysical characteristics of the biomaterials.

Abstract
Essential features of well-designed materials intended for 3D bioprinting via microextrusion are the appropriate rheological behavior and cell-friendly environment. Despite the rapid development, few materials are utilizable as bioinks. The aim of our work was to design a novel cytocompatible material facilitating extrusion-based 3D printing while maintaining a relatively simple and straightforward preparation process without the need for harsh chemicals or radiation. Specifically, hydrogels were prepared from gelatines coming from three sources—bovine, rabbit, and chicken—cross-linked by dextran polyaldehyde. The influence of dextran concentration on the properties of hydrogels was studied. Rheological measurements not only confirmed the strong shear-thinning behavior of prepared inks but were also used for capturing cross-linking reaction kinetics and demonstrated quick achievement of gelation point (in most cases < 3 min). Their viscoelastic properties allowed satisfactory extrusion, forming a self-supported multi-layered uniformly porous structure. All gelatin-based hydrogels were non-cytototoxic. Homogeneous cells distribution within the printed scaffold was confirmed by fluorescence confocal microscopy. In addition, no disruption of cells structure was observed. The results demonstrate the great potential of the presented hydrogels for applications related to 3D bioprinting.

Abstract
Self-healing hydrogel as a soft material with high durability and life-time has been successfully applied in various fields, including electronic skins, wearable electronic devices, and soft sensors. However, it is still a challenge to design a hydrogel with rapid self-healing, biodegradable and biosensing properties. Here, a self-healing carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)/oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose (OCMC) hydrogel with fluorescent bioprobes was developed for glucose detection. In this biosensing system, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and glucose oxidase (GOx) were encapsulated into the CMCS/OCMC hydrogel matrix as the fluorescent bioprobes. The CMCS/OCMC hydrogel with fluorescent bioprobes exhibited high sensitivity for glucose sensing with a linearly detection range of 100 μM to 5 mM and a detection limit of 0.029 mM, which covered the level of glucose in clinical detection. Furthermore, this hydrogel exhibited good biocompatibility. Finally, In vitro blood fluorescence tests and in vivo fluorescence investigation of the AuNCs-CMCS/OCMC hydrogel in diabetic mice indicated that this biocompatible and self-healing hydrogel based on fluorescent sensing system had potential application in implantable biosensing area for glucose monitoring.

Abstract
A new gelatin methacrylamine (GelMA)-poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)-nano hydroxyapatite (nHA) composite hydrogel scaffold was developed using UV photo-crosslinking technology. The Ca2+ from nHA can form a [HO]Ca2+ [OH] bridging structure with the hydroxyl group in GelMA, thereby enhancing the stability. Compared with GelMA-PEGDA hydrogel, the addition of nHA can control the mechanical properties of the composite hydrogel and reduce the degradation rate. In vitro cell culture showed that osteoblast can adhere and proliferate on the surface of the hydrogel, indicating that the GelMA-PEGDA-nHA hydrogel had good cell viability and biocompatibility. Furthermore, GelMA-PEGDA-nHA has excellent injectability and rapid prototyping properties and is a promising 3D printed bone repair scaffold material.
