Abstract
In the biomedical sciences, particularly in wound healing, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, the development of natural-based biomaterials as a carrier has revealed a wide range of advantages. Tissue engineering is one of the therapeutic approaches used to replace damaged tissue. Polymers have received a lot of attention for their beneficial interactions with cells, but they have some drawbacks, such as poor mechanical properties. Due to their relatively large surface area, nanoparticles can cause significant changes in polymers and improve their mechanical properties. The nanoparticles incorporated into biomaterial scaffolds have been associated with positive effects on cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, and migration in the majority of studies. This review paper discusses recent applications of polymer-nanoparticle composites in the development of tissue engineering scaffolds, as well as the effects of these nanomaterials in the fields of cardiovascular, neural, bone, and skin tissue engineering.

[PMID: 35877343 PMCID: PMC9311987 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering9070292] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a clinical problem with high morbidity that can cause severe damage. Surgical suturing or implants are usually required due to the slow speed and numerous factors affecting repair after PNI. An autologous nerve graft is the gold standard for PNI repair among implants. However, there is a potential problem of the functional loss of the donor site. Therefore, tissue-engineered nerve biomaterials are often used to bridge the gap between nerve defects, but the therapeutic effect is insufficient. In order to enhance the repair effect of nerve biomaterials for PNI, researchers are seeking to combine various stimulation elements, such as the addition of biological factors such as nerve growth factors or physical factors such as internal microstructural modifications of catheters and their combined application with physical stimulation therapy. Physical stimulation therapy is safer, is more convenient, and has more practical features than other additive factors. Its feasibility and convenience, when combined with nerve biomaterials, provide broader application prospects for PNI repair, and has therefore become a research hot spot. This paper will review the combined application of physical stimulation and biomaterials in PNI repair in recent years to provide new therapeutic ideas for the future use of physical stimulation in PNI repair.

Abstract
In recent years, many promising nanotechnological approaches to biomedical research have been developed in order to increase implementation of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering in clinical practice. In the meantime, the use of nanomaterials for the regeneration of diseased or injured tissues is considered advantageous in most areas of medicine. In particular, for the treatment of cardiovascular, osteochondral and neurological defects, but also for the recovery of functions of other organs such as kidney, liver, pancreas, bladder, urethra and for wound healing, nanomaterials are increasingly being developed that serve as scaffolds, mimic the extracellular matrix and promote adhesion or differentiation of cells. This review focuses on the latest developments in regenerative medicine, in which iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) play a crucial role for tissue engineering and cell therapy. IONPs are not only enabling the use of non-invasive observation methods to monitor the therapy, but can also accelerate and enhance regeneration, either thanks to their inherent magnetic properties or by functionalization with bioactive or therapeutic compounds, such as drugs, enzymes and growth factors. In addition, the presence of magnetic fields can direct IONP-labeled cells specifically to the site of action or induce cell differentiation into a specific cell type through mechanotransduction.

Abstract
Graphene, as a highly conducting material, incorporated into silk fibroin (SF) substrates is promising to fabricate an electroactive flexible scaffold toward neural tissue engineering. It is well known that aligned morphology could promote cell adhesion and directional growth. The purpose of this study was to develop aligned conductive scaffolds made of graphene and SF (G/SF) by electrospinning technique for neural tissue engineering applications. The physicochemical characterization of scaffolds revealed that the mechanical and electrochemical property of aligned G/SF scaffolds continually raised with the increasing contents of graphene (A0% G/SF, A1% G/SF, A2% G/SF, and A3% G/SF), but the mechanical property descended when the graphene concentration reached to 4% (the A4% G/SF group). The results of the cell experiment in vitro indicated that all the aligned G/SF scaffolds were no neurotoxic to primary cultured spinal cord neurons. In addition, the neurite elongation in all aligned groups was significantly enhanced by the upregulation of Netrin-1 expression compared to them in the control group. Thus, A3% G/SF scaffolds not only possessed the optimal property based on the mechanical and electrochemical performances but also displayed the beneficial capability to neurite outgrowth, which might perform a suitable candidate to successfully scaffold electrically active tissues during neural regeneration or engineering.

Abstract
Bioactive glasses (BGs) have been identified as highly versatile materials in tissue engineering applications; apart from being used for bone repair for many years, they have recently shown promise for the regeneration of peripheral nerves as well. They can be formulated in different shapes and forms (micro-/nanoparticles, micro-/nanofibers, and tubes), thus potentially meeting the diverse requirements for neuroregeneration. Mechanical and biological improvements in three-dimensional (3D) polymeric scaffolds could be easily provided by adding BGs to their composition. Various types of silicate, borate, and phosphate BGs have been examined for use in neuroregeneration. In general, BGs show good compatibility with the nervous system compartments both in vitro and in vivo. Functionalization and surface modification plus doping with therapeutic ions make BGs even more effective in peripheral nerve regeneration. Moreover, the combination of BGs with conductive polymers is suggested to improve neural cell functions at injured sites. Taking advantage of BGs combined with novel technologies in tissue engineering, like 3D printing, can open new horizons in reconstructive approaches for the nervous system. Although there are great potential opportunities in BG-based therapies for peripheral nerve regeneration, more research should still be performed to carefully assess the pros and cons of BGs in neuroregeneration strategies.

Abstract
The current study aimed to enhance the efficacy of peripheral nerve regeneration using a hydroxyapatite nanoparticle-containing collagen type I hydrogel. A solution of type I collagen, extracted from the rat tails, was incorporated with hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (with the average diameter of ~212 nm) and crosslinked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC) to prepare the hydrogel. The Schwann cell cultivation on the prepared hydrogel demonstrated a significantly higher cell proliferation than the tissue culture plate, as positive control, after 48 h (n = 3, P < 0.005) and 72 h (n = 3, P < 0.01). For in vivo evaluation, the prepared hydrogel was administrated on the sciatic nerve crush injury in Wistar rats. Four groups were studied: negative control (with injury but without interventions), positive control (without injury), collagen hydrogel and hydroxyapatite nanoparticle-containing collagen hydrogel. After 12 weeks, the administration of hydroxyapatite nanoparticle-containing collagen significantly (n = 4, P < 0.005) enhanced the functional behavior of the rats compared with the collagen hydrogel and negative control groups as evidenced by the sciatic functional index, hot plate latency and compound muscle action potential amplitude measurements. The overall results demonstrated the applicability of the produced hydrogel for the regeneration of peripheral nerve injuries.

Abstract
The ability to surgically repair peripheral nerve injuries is urgently needed. However, traditional tissue engineering techniques, such as autologous nerve transplantation, have some limitations. Therefore, tissue engineered autologous nerve grafts have become a suitable choice for nerve repair. Novel tissue engineering techniques derived from nanostructured conduits have been shown to be superior to other successful functional neurological structures with different scaffolds in terms of providing the required structures and properties. Additionally, different biomaterials and growth factors have been added to nerve scaffolds to produce unique biological effects that promote nerve regeneration and functional recovery. This review summarizes the application of different nanoscaffolds in peripheral nerve repair and further analyzes how the nanoscaffolds promote peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract
In this review, specific attention is paid to the development of nanostructured magnetic hydroxyapatite (MHAp) and its potential application in controlled drug/gene delivery, tissue engineering, magnetic hyperthermia treatment, and the development of contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. Both magnetite and hydroxyapatite materials have excellent prospects in nanomedicine with multifunctional therapeutic approaches. To date, many research articles have focused on biomedical applications of nanomaterials because of which it is very difficult to focus on any particular type of nanomaterial. This study is possibly the first effort to emphasize on the comprehensive assessment of MHAp nanostructures for biomedical applications supported with very recent experimental studies. From basic concepts to the real-life applications, the relevant characteristics of magnetic biomaterials are patented which are briefly discussed. The potential therapeutic and diagnostic ability of MHAp-nanostructured materials make them an ideal platform for future nanomedicine. We hope that this advanced review will provide a better understanding of MHAp and its important features to utilize it as a promising material for multifunctional biomedical applications.
