Abstract
In advancing tissue engineering, we introduce a particle system combining the strength of calcium carbonate with the flexibility of hydrogels enhanced with alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for improved bone regeneration. Our innovation lies in creating large hybrid macrospheroids by bonding mineral nanostructured microparticles loaded with ALP through hydrogel polymerization. These composite macrospheroids address critical challenges in cell seeding, growth, and handling within three-dimensional (3D) environments. We conducted extensive characterization of these particles using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), mechanical property assessment, and fluorescence microscopy. The results demonstrate that the hybrid macrospheroids significantly enhance cell manipulation and growth in three-dimensional structures. Specifically, ALP-loaded macrospheroids showed a marked improvement in osteogenic activity, promoting effective bone tissue regeneration. This study not only showcases a unique approach to overcoming the limitations of traditional hydrogels in tissue engineering but also opens pathways for bone tissue regeneration. Our findings offer a promising tool for cell seeding and growth in 3D structures, potentially revolutionizing practices in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Modification of T-lymphocytes, which are capable of paracellular transmigration is a promising trend in modern personalized medicine. However, the delivery of required concentrations of functionalized T-cells to the target tissues remains a problem. We describe a novel method to functionalize T-cells with magnetic nanocapsules and target them with electromagnetic tweezers. T-cells were modified with the following magnetic capsules: Parg/DEX (150 nm), BSA/TA (300 nm), and BSA/TA (500 nm). T-cells were magnetonavigated in a phantom blood vessel capillary in cultural medium and in whole blood. The permeability of tumor tissues to captured T-cells was analyzed by magnetic delivery of modified T-cells to spheroids formed from 4T1 breast cancer cells. The dynamics of T-cell motion under a magnetic field gradient in model environments were analyzed by particle image velocimetry. The magnetic properties of the nanocomposite capsules and magnetic T-cells were measured. The obtained results are promising for biomedical applications in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
The widespread application of calcium carbonate is determined by its high availability in nature and simplicity of synthesis in laboratory conditions. Moreover, calcium carbonate possesses highly attractive physicochemical properties that make it suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications. This review provides a conclusive analysis of the results on using the tunable vaterite metastability in the development of biodegradable drug delivery systems and therapeutic vehicles with a controlled and sustained release of the incorporated cargo. This manuscript highlights the nuances of vaterite recrystallization to non-porous calcite, dissolution at acidic pH, biodegradation at in vivo conditions and control over these processes. This review outlines the main benefits of vaterite instability for the controlled liberation of the encapsulated molecules for the development of biodegradable natural and synthetic polymeric materials for biomedical purposes.

Abstract
Calcium carbonate minerals produced by marine organisms play a central role in the global carbon cycle and carbonate sedimentation, which influence the climate by regulating atmospheric CO2 levels. Foraminifera are important marine single-celled organisms that have produced calcite shells for over 300 million years. Here, we present new observations promoting our understanding for foraminiferal biocalcification by studying Amphistegina lessonii. We integrated in vivo confocal autofluorescence and dye fluorescence imaging with elemental analysis of the cell supporting the concept that the calcite shells of foraminifera are produced via deposition of intracellularly formed Mg-rich amorphous calcium carbonate (Mg-ACC) particles that transform into a stable mineral phase. This process is likely accompanied by the activity of endosymbiotic microalgae and seawater-derived endocytic vesicles that provide calcification substrates such as DIC, Ca2+, and Mg2+. The final transformation of semi-liquid amorphous nanoparticles into a crystalline shell was associated with Mg2+ liberation.

Abstract
Hybrid materials or hybrids incorporating organic and inorganic constituents are emerging as a very potent and promising class of materials due to the diverse but complementary nature of their properties. This complementarity leads to a perfect synergy of properties of the desired materials and products as well as to an extensive range of their application areas. Recently, we have overviewed and classified hybrid materials describing inorganics-in-organics in Part-I (Saveleva, et al., Front. Chem., 2019, 7, 179). Here, we extend that work in Part-II describing organics-on-inorganics, i.e., inorganic materials modified by organic moieties, their structure and functionalities. Inorganic constituents comprise of colloids/nanoparticles and flat surfaces/matrices comprise of metallic (noble metal, metal oxide, metal-organic framework, magnetic nanoparticles, alloy) and non-metallic (minerals, clays, carbons, and ceramics) materials; while organic additives can include molecules (polymers, fluorescence dyes, surfactants), biomolecules (proteins, carbohydtrates, antibodies and nucleic acids) and even higher-level organisms such as cells, bacteria, and microorganisms. Similarly to what was described in Part-I, we look at similar and dissimilar properties of organic-inorganic materials summarizing those bringing complementarity and composition. A broad range of applications of these hybrid materials is also presented whose development is spurred by engaging different scientific research communities.

Abstract
To develop materials for drug delivery and tissue engineering and to study their efficiency with respect to ossification, it is necessary to apply physicochemical and biological analyses. The major challenge is labor-intensive data mining during synthesis and the reproducibility of the obtained data. In this work, we investigated the influence of time and temperature on the reaction yield, the reaction rate, and the size, shape, and phase of the obtained product in the completely controllable synthesis of calcium carbonate. We show that calcium carbonate particles can be synthesized in large quantities, i.e., in gram quantities, which is a substantial advantage over previously reported synthesis methods. We demonstrated that the presence of vaterite particles can dramatically stimulate hydroxyapatite (HA) production by providing the continued release of the main HA component - calcium ions - depending on the following particle parameters: size, shape, and phase. To understand the key parameters influencing the efficiency of HA production by cells, we created a predictive model by means of principal component analysis. We found that smaller particles in the vaterite state are best suited for HA growth (HA growth was 8 times greater than that in the control). We also found that the reported dependence of cell adhesion on colloidal particles can be extended to other types of particles that contain calcium ions.

Abstract
There has been growing interest in recent years in developing multifunctional materials for studying the structure interface in biological systems. In this regard, the multimodal systems, which possess activity in the near-infrared (NIR) region, become even more critical for the possibility of improving examined biotissue depth and, eventually, data analysis. Herein, we engineered bi-modal contrast agents by integrating carbon nanotubes (CNT) and gold nanoparticles (AuNP) around silica microspheres using the Layer-by-Layer self-assembly method. The experimental studies revealed that microspheres with CNT sandwiched between AuNP exhibit strong absorption in the visible and NIR regions and high optoacoustic contrast (OA, also called photoacoustics) and Raman scattering when illuminated with 532 nm and 785 nm lasers, respectively. The developed microspheres demonstrated amplification of the signal in the OA flow cytometry at the laser wavelength of 1064 nm. This finding was further validated with ex vivo brain tissue using a portable Raman spectrometer and imaging with the Raster-scanning OA mesoscopy technique. The obtained data suggest that the developed contrast agents can be promising in applications of localization OA tomography (LOT), OA flow cytometry, and multiplex SERS detection.

Abstract
As the next generation of materials for bone reconstruction, we propose a multifunctional bioactive platform based on biodegradable piezoelectric polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) fibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering with drug delivery capabilities. To use the entire surface area for local drug delivery, the scaffold surface was uniformly biomineralized with biocompatible calcium carbonate (CaCO3) microparticles in a vaterite-calcite polymorph mixture. CaCO3-coated PHB scaffolds demonstrated a similar elastic modulus compared to that of pristine one. However, reduced tensile strength and failure strain of 31% and 67% were observed, respectively. The biomimetic immobilization of enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin (VCM) preserved the CaCO3-mineralized PHB scaffold morphology and resulted in partial recrystallization of vaterite to calcite. In comparison to pristine scaffolds, the loading efficiency of CaCO3-mineralized PHB scaffolds was 4.6 and 3.5 times higher for VCM and ALP, respectively. Despite the increased number of cells incubated with ALP-immobilized scaffolds (up to 61% for non-mineralized and up to 36% for mineralized), the CaCO3-mineralized PHB scaffolds showed cell adhesion; those containing both VCM and ALP molecules had the highest cell density. Importantly, no toxicity for pre-osteoblastic cells was detected, even in the VCM-immobilized scaffolds. In contrast with antibiotic-free scaffolds, the VCM-immobilized ones had a pronounced antibacterial effect against gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. Thus, piezoelectric hybrid PHB scaffolds modified with CaCO3 layers and immobilized VCM/ALP are promising materials in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of eggshell extract and ultrasonic irradiation on the polymorphic transformation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3). In this context, XRD, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, AFM, TGA-FTIR, BET, and zeta potential analysis were used to identify and characterize the different polymorphs of CaCO3 obtained in the absence and presence of eggshell extract in the media with and without ultrasonic irradiation. The morphology and polymorphic nature of the CaCO3 crystals were observed to change, which indicated that the eggshell extract and ultrasonication influenced the structure and crystallization of CaCO3. The structural analysis results indicated that the addition of eggshell extract to the media resulted in the full transformation of calcite to the vaterite polymorph. The results also showed that ultrasonic irradiation had a more significant influence on the BET specific surface area of the crystals compared to the eggshell extract media. Furthermore, a Box-Behnken design with response surface methodology was employed to determine the optimal operating conditions for CaCO3 crystallization. The effects of stirring rate, extract concentration, and ultrasonic power on the BET surface area were investigated. The results show that the data sufficiently fit the second-order polynomial model. Understanding the eggshell extract-mediated polymorphic transformation with ultrasonic irradiation obtained in this study makes it possible to control the polymorphic formation and modify the product characteristics.

Abstract
Core-shell particles made of calcium carbonate and coated with biocompatible polymers using the Layer-by-Layer technique can be considered as a unique drug-delivery platform that enables us to load different therapeutic compounds, exhibits a high biocompatibility, and can integrate several stimuli-responsive mechanisms for drug release. However, before implementation for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, such core-shell particles require a comprehensive in vivo evaluation in terms of physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. Positron emission tomography (PET) is an advanced imaging technique for the evaluation of in vivo biodistribution of drug carriers; nevertheless, an incorporation of positron emitters in these carriers is needed. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate the radiolabeling approaches of calcium carbonate core-shell particles with different sizes (CaCO3 micron-sized core-shell particles (MicCSPs) and CaCO3 submicron-sized core-shell particles (SubCSPs)) to precisely determine their in vivo biodistribution after intravenous administration in rats. For this, several methods of radiolabeling have been developed, where the positron emitter (68Ga) was incorporated into the particle's core (co-precipitation approach) or onto the surface of the shell (either layer coating or adsorption approaches). According to the obtained data, radiochemical bounding and stability of 68Ga strongly depend on the used radiolabeling approach, and the co-precipitation method has shown the best radiochemical stability in human serum (96-98.5% for both types of core-shell particles). Finally, we demonstrate the size-dependent effect of core-shell particles' distribution on the specific organ uptake, using a combination of imaging techniques, PET, and computerized tomography (CT), as well as radiometry of separate organs. Thus, our findings open up new perspectives of CaCO3-radiolabeled core-shell particles for their further implementation into clinical practice.

Abstract
In this review, materials based on polymers and hybrids possessing both organic and inorganic contents for repairing or facilitating cell growth in tissue engineering are discussed. Pure polymer based biomaterials are predominantly used to target soft tissues. Stipulated by possibilities of tuning the composition and concentration of their inorganic content, hybrid materials allow to mimic properties of various types of harder tissues. That leads to the concept of "one-matches-all" referring to materials possessing the same polymeric base, but different inorganic content to enable tissue growth and repair, proliferation of cells, and the formation of the ECM (extra cellular matrix). Furthermore, adding drug delivery carriers to coatings and scaffolds designed with such materials brings additional functionality by encapsulating active molecules, antibacterial agents, and growth factors. We discuss here materials and methods of their assembly from a general perspective together with their applications in various tissue engineering sub-areas: interstitial, connective, vascular, nervous, visceral and musculoskeletal tissues. The overall aims of this review are two-fold: (a) to describe the needs and opportunities in the field of bio-medicine, which should be useful for material scientists, and (b) to present capabilities and resources available in the area of materials, which should be of interest for biologists and medical doctors.

Abstract
Malignant tumors are characterized by structural and molecular peculiarities providing a possibility to directionally deliver antitumor drugs with minimal impact on healthy tissues and reduced side effects. Newly formed blood vessels in malignant lesions exhibit chaotic growth, disordered structure, irregular shape and diameter, protrusions, and blind ends, resulting in immature vasculature; the newly formed lymphatic vessels also have aberrant structure. Structural features of the tumor vasculature determine relatively easy penetration of large molecules as well as nanometer-sized particles through a blood⁻tissue barrier and their accumulation in a tumor tissue. Also, malignant cells have altered molecular profile due to significant changes in tumor cell metabolism at every level from the genome to metabolome. Recently, the tumor interaction with cells of immune system becomes the focus of particular attention, that among others findings resulted in extensive study of cells with preferential tropism to tumor. In this review we summarize the information on the diversity of currently existing approaches to targeted drug delivery to tumor, including (i) passive targeting based on the specific features of tumor vasculature, (ii) active targeting which implies a specific binding of the antitumor agent with its molecular target, and (iii) cell-mediated tumor targeting.
