Abstract
Stroke poses a critical global health challenge, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality. Existing treatments often miss vital timeframes and encounter limitations due to adverse effects, prompting the pursuit of innovative approaches to restore compromised brain function. This review explores the potential of filamentous phages in enhancing stroke recovery. Initially antimicrobial-centric, bacteriophage therapy has evolved into a regenerative solution. We explore the diverse role of filamentous phages in post-stroke neurological restoration, emphasizing their ability to integrate peptides into phage coat proteins, thereby facilitating recovery. Experimental evidence supports their efficacy in alleviating post-stroke complications, immune modulation, and tissue regeneration. However, rigorous clinical validation is essential to address challenges like dosing and administration routes. Additionally, genetic modification enhances their potential as injectable biomaterials for complex brain tissue issues. This review emphasizes innovative strategies and the capacity of filamentous phages to contribute to enhanced stroke recovery, as opposed to serving as standalone treatment, particularly in addressing stroke-induced brain tissue damage.

Abstract
One of the main challenges of tissue-engineered vascular prostheses is restenosis due to intimal hyperplasia. The aim of this study is to develop a material for scaffolds able to support cell growth while tolerating physiological conditions and maintaining the patency of carotid artery model. Tubular hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized collagen nanofibrous composite scaffolds were prepared by sequential electrospinning method. The tubular composite scaffold has well-controlled biophysical and biochemical signals, providing a good matrix for the adhesion and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells (ECs), but resisting to platelets adhesion when exposed to blood. Carotid artery replacement experiment from 6-week rabbits showed that the HA/collagen nanofibrous composite scaffold grafts with endothelialization on the luminal surface could maintain vascular patency. At retrieval, the composite scaffold maintained good structural integrity and had comparable mechanical strength as the native artery. This study indicating that electrospun scaffolds combined with cells may become an alternative to prosthetic grafts for vascular reconstruction.

Abstract
Recently, a decellularized microvascular graft (inner diameter: 0.6 mm) modified with the integrin α4β1 ligand, REDV, was developed to provide an alternative to autologous-vein grafting in reconstructive microsurgery, showing good early-stage patency under arterial flow in rats. This consecutive study evaluated its potential utility not only as an arterial substitute, but also as a venous substitute, using a rat-tail replantation model. Graft remodeling depending on hemodynamic status was also investigated. ACI rat tail arteries were decellularized via ultra-high-hydrostatic pressure treatment and modified with REDV to induce antithrombogenic interfaces and promote endothelialization after implantation. Grafts were implanted into the tail artery and vein to re-establish blood circulation in amputated Lewis rat tails (n = 12). The primary endpoint was the survival of replants. Secondary endpoints were graft patency, remodeling, and regeneration for 6 months. In all but three cases with technical errors or postoperative self-mutilation, tails survived without any evidence of ischemia or congestion. Six-month Kaplan-Meier patency was 100% for tail-artery implanted grafts and 62% for tail-vein implanted grafts. At 6 months, the neo-tunica media (thickness: 95.0 μm in tail-artery implanted grafts, 9.3 μm in tail-vein implanted grafts) was regenerated inside the neo-intima. In conclusion, the microvascular grafts functioned well both as arterial and venous paths of replanted-rat tails, with different remodeling under arterial and venous conditions.

Abstract
Endothelialization of blood contacting implants, e.g., vascular stents, is regarded as a prerequisite for an improved performance in terms of minimizing thrombogenicity and the inhibition of restenosis. Commonly used materials, such as Ti-based alloys, can be surface-modified in order to improve endothelial cell (EC) colonization as well as to reduce platelet adhesion. Standard modification techniques involve silanization and are laborious and time-consuming. We propose a novel single-step procedure based on a surface-recognizing peptide generated by phage display methodology. Combining this with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacer and an EC-specific sequence yielded a conjugate applicable for the modification of Ti surfaces.

Abstract
Long-distance (⩾10 mm) arterial vascular defect injury was a massive challenge affecting human health. Compared with autologous transplantation, tissue-engineered scaffolds such as biocompatible silk fibroin (SF) scaffolds have been developed because they exhibit equivalent functional repair effects without adverse reactions. However, its mechanical strength and structural stability needed to be further improved to match the longer repair cycle of blood vessels while maintaining the original biological safety. Hence, we designed and prepared SF and hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) composite microfibers by an improving electrospinning method. It was found that when the weight ratio of PCL to SF was 1: 1, a microfiber scaffold with high strength (6.16 N) and minimum degradability can be obtained. More importantly, compared with natural silk fibroin, the novel composite microfiber scaffolds can slightly inhibit cell infiltration and inflammation through co-culture with HUVECs in vitro and rabbit back transplantation in vivo. Furthermore, the fabricated scaffolds also demonstrated excellent structural stability in vivo because of the well-organized PCL doping in the structure. All these results indicated that the novel PCL/SF composite microfiber scaffolds were promising candidates for vascular tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Despite significant advances in vascular tissue engineering, the ideal graft has not yet been developed and autologous vessels remain the gold standard substitutes for small diameter bypass procedures. Here, we explore the use of a flow field with variable pulse frequencies over the regeneration of an ex vivo-derived human scaffold as vascular graft. Briefly, human umbilical veins were decellularized and used as scaffold for cellular repopulation with human smooth muscle cells (SMC) and endothelial cells (EC). Over graft development, the variable flow, which mimics the real-time cardiac output of an individual performing daily activities (e.g., resting vs. exercising), was implemented and compared to the commonly used constant pulse frequency. Results show marked differences on SMC and EC function, with changes at the molecular level reflecting on tissue scales. First, variable frequencies significantly increased SMC proliferation rate and glycosaminoglycan production. These results can be tied with the SMC gene expression that indicates a synthetic phenotype, with a significant downregulation of myosin heavy chain. Additionally and quite remarkably, the variable flow frequencies motivated the re-endothelialization of the grafts, with a quiescent-like structure observed after 10 days of conditioning, contrasting with the low surface coverage and unaligned EC observed under constant frequency (CF). Besides, the overall biomechanics of the generated grafts (conditioned with both pulsed and CFs) evidence a significant remodeling after 55 days of culture, depicted by high burst pressure and Young's modulus. These last results demonstrate the positive recellularization and remodeling of a human-derived scaffold toward an arterial vessel.

Abstract
Globally growing problems related to cardiovascular diseases lead to a considerable need for synthetic vascular grafts. For small-caliber vascular prosthesis, it remains essential to fulfill rapid endothelialization, inhibit intimal hyperplasia, and prevent calcification for keeping patency. To modulate vascular regeneration, herein, we developed a bioactive trilayered tissue-engineered vascular graft encapsulating both microRNA-126 and microRNA-145 in the fibrous inner and middle layers, respectively. In vitro cell activities demonstrated that the trilayered electrospun membranes had significant biological advantages in enhanced growth and intracellular nitric oxide production of vascular endothelial cells, modulation of phenotypes of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), and restraint of calcium deposition through fast-releasing microRNA-126 and slow-releasing microRNA-145. Histological and immunofluorescent analyses of in vivo implantation in a rat abdominal aorta interposition model suggested that the dual-microRNA-loading trilayered electrospun graft exerted a positive effect on accelerating endothelialization, improving contractile SMC regeneration, and promoting normal extracellular matrix formation. Meanwhile, the local bioactivity of microRNA-126 and microRNA-145 in the trilayered vascular graft could regulate inflammation and depress calcification possibly by facilitating transformation of macrophages into the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. These findings indicated that the trilayered electrospun graft by local delivery of dual microRNAs could be possibly used as a bioactive substitute for replacement of artificial small-caliber blood vessels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Restoration of massive bone defects remains a huge challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Insufficient vascularization and slow bone regeneration limited the application of tissue engineering in bone defect. The effect of electromagnetic field (EMF) on bone defect has been reported for many years. However, sinusoidal EMF (SEMF) combined with tissue engineering in bone regeneration remains poorly investigated. METHODS In the present study, we investigated the effect of SEMF and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on osteogenic and vasculogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs). Furthermore, pretreated rBMSC- laden polycaprolactone-hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) scaffold was constructed and implanted into the subcritical cranial defect of rats. The bone formation and vascularization were evaluated 4 and 12 weeks after implantation. RESULTS It was shown that SEMF and VEGF could enhance the protein and mRNA expression levels of osteoblast- and endothelial cell-related markers, respectively. The combinatory effect of SEMF and VEGF slightly promoted the angiogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. The proteins of Wnt1, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP-6), and β-catenin increased in all inducted groups, especially in SEMF + VEGF group. The results indicated that Wnt/β-catenin pathway might participate in the osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. Histological evaluation and reconstructed 3D graphs revealed that tissue-engineered constructs significantly promoted the new bone formation and angiogenesis compared to other groups. CONCLUSION The combinatory effect of SEMF and VEGF raised an efficient approach to enhance the osteogenesis and vascularization of tissue-engineered constructs, which provided a useful guide for regeneration of bone defects.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Junction dynamics of endothelial cells are based on the integration of signal transduction, cytoskeletal remodeling and contraction, which are necessary for the formation and maintenance of monolayer integrity, but also enable repair and regeneration. The VE-cadherin–catenin complex forms the molecular basis of the adherence junctions and cooperates closely with actin filaments. Several groups have recently described small actin-driven protrusions at the cell junctions that are controlled by the Arp2/3 complex, contributing to cell junction regulation. We identified these protrusions as the driving force for VE-cadherin dynamics, as they directly induce new VE-cadherin-mediated adhesion sites, and have accordingly referred to these structures as junction-associated intermittent lamellipodia (JAIL). JAIL extend over only a few microns and thus provide the basis for a subcellular regulation of adhesion. The local (subcellular) VE-cadherin concentration and JAIL formation are directly interdependent, which enables autoregulation. Therefore, this mechanism can contribute a subcellularly regulated adaptation of cell contact dynamics, and is therefore of great importance for monolayer integrity and relative cell migration during wound healing and angiogenesis, as well as for inflammatory responses. In this Review, we discuss the mechanisms and functions underlying these actin-driven protrusions and consider their contribution to the dynamic regulation of endothelial cell junctions.

Abstract
Clinical utility of small-diameter vascular grafts is still challenging in blood vessel regeneration owing to thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. To cope with the issues, modulation of gene expression via microRNAs (miRNAs) could be a feasible approach by rational regulating physiological activities of both vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Our previous studies demonstrated that individually loaded miRNA-126 (miR-126) or miRNA-145 (miR-145) in the electrospun membranes showed the tendency to promote vascular regeneration. In this work, the bilayered electrospun graft in 1.5-mm diameter was developed by emulsion electrospinning to dual-load miR-126 and miR-145 for target regulation of both VECs and VSMCs, respectively. Accelerated release of miR-126 was achieved by introducing poly(ethylene glycol) in the inner electrospun poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(l-lactide-co-caprolactone) ultrafine fibrous membrane, reaching 61.3 ± 1.2% of the cumulative release in the initial 10 days, whereas the outer electrospun poly(l-lactide-co-glycolide) membrane composed of microfibers fulfilled prolonged release of miR-145 for about 56 days. In vivo tests suggested that dual-loading with miR-126 and miR-145 in the bilayered electrospun membranes could modulate both VECs and VSMCs for rapid endothelialization and hyperplasia inhibition as well. It is reasonably expected that dual target-delivery of miR-126 and miR-145 in the electrospun vascular grafts has effective potential for small-diameter vascular regeneration. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Balanced sphingolipid signaling is important for the maintenance of homeostasis. Sphingolipids were demonstrated to function as structural components, second messengers, and regulators of cell growth and survival in normal and disease-affected tissues. Particularly, sphingosine kinase 1 (SphK1) and its product sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) operate as mediators and facilitators of proliferation-linked signaling. Unlimited proliferation (self-renewal) within the regulated environment is a hallmark of progenitor/stem cells that was recently associated with the S1P signaling network in vasculature, nervous, muscular, and immune systems. S1P was shown to regulate progenitor-related characteristics in normal and cancer stem cells (CSCs) via G-protein coupled receptors S1Pn (n = 1 to 5). The SphK/S1P axis is crucially involved in the regulation of embryonic development of vasculature and the nervous system, hematopoietic stem cell migration, regeneration of skeletal muscle, and development of multiple sclerosis. The ratio of the S1P receptor expression, localization, and specific S1P receptor-activated downstream effectors influenced the rate of self-renewal and should be further explored as regeneration-related targets. Considering malignant transformation, it is essential to control the level of self-renewal capacity. Proliferation of the progenitor cell should be synchronized with differentiation to provide healthy lifelong function of blood, immune systems, and replacement of damaged or dead cells. The differentiation-related role of SphK/S1P remains poorly assessed. A few pioneering investigations explored pharmacological tools that target sphingolipid signaling and can potentially confine and direct self-renewal towards normal differentiation. Further investigation is required to test the role of the SphK/S1P axis in regulation of self-renewal and differentiation.

Stem cells: their source, potency and use in regenerative therapies with focus on adipose-derived stem cells - a review. Biotechnol Adv 2018; 36:1111-1126. [PMID: 29563048 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2018.03.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 301] [Impact Index Per Article: 50.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2018] [Revised: 03/12/2018] [Accepted: 03/15/2018] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
Stem cells can be defined as units of biological organization that are responsible for the development and the regeneration of organ and tissue systems. They are able to renew their populations and to differentiate into multiple cell lineages. Therefore, these cells have great potential in advanced tissue engineering and cell therapies. When seeded on synthetic or nature-derived scaffolds in vitro, stem cells can be differentiated towards the desired phenotype by an appropriate composition, by an appropriate architecture, and by appropriate physicochemical and mechanical properties of the scaffolds, particularly if the scaffold properties are combined with a suitable composition of cell culture media, and with suitable mechanical, electrical or magnetic stimulation. For cell therapy, stem cells can be injected directly into damaged tissues and organs in vivo. Since the regenerative effect of stem cells is based mainly on the autocrine production of growth factors, immunomodulators and other bioactive molecules stored in extracellular vesicles, these structures can be isolated and used instead of cells for a novel therapeutic approach called "stem cell-based cell-free therapy". There are four main sources of stem cells, i.e. embryonic tissues, fetal tissues, adult tissues and differentiated somatic cells after they have been genetically reprogrammed, which are referred to as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Although adult stem cells have lower potency than the other three stem cell types, i.e. they are capable of differentiating into only a limited quantity of specific cell types, these cells are able to overcome the ethical and legal issues accompanying the application of embryonic and fetal stem cells and the mutational effects associated with iPSCs. Moreover, adult stem cells can be used in autogenous form. These cells are present in practically all tissues in the organism. However, adipose tissue seems to be the most advantageous tissue from which to isolate them, because of its abundancy, its subcutaneous location, and the need for less invasive techniques. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) are therefore considered highly promising in present-day regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The ability to culture complex organs is currently an important goal in biomedical research. It is possible to grow organoids (3D organ-like structures) in vitro; however, a major limitation of organoids, and other 3D culture systems, is the lack of a vascular network. Protocols developed for establishing in vitro vascular networks typically use human or rodent cells. A major technical challenge is the culture of functional (perfused) networks. In this rapidly advancing field, some microfluidic devices are now getting close to the goal of an artificially perfused vascular network. Another development is the emergence of the zebrafish as a complementary model to mammals. In this review, we discuss the culture of endothelial cells and vascular networks from mammalian cells, and examine the prospects for using zebrafish cells for this objective. We also look into the future and consider how vascular networks in vitro might be successfully perfused using microfluidic technology.

Abstract
Purpose We fabricated and investigated polymeric scaffolds that can substitute for the conjunctival extracellular matrix to provide a substrate for autologous expansion of human conjunctival goblet cells in culture. Methods We fabricated two hydrogels and two silk films: (1) recombinant human collagen (RHC) hydrogel, (2) recombinant human collagen 2-methacryloylxyethyl phosphorylcholine (RHC-MPC) hydrogel, (3) arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) modified silk, and (4) poly-D-lysine (PDL) coated silk, and four electrospun scaffolds: (1) collagen, (2) poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), (3) poly(caprolactone) (PCL), and (4) poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Coverslips and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were used for comparison. Human conjunctival explants were cultured on scaffolds for 9 to 15 days. Cell viability, outgrowth area, and the percentage of cells expressing markers for stratified squamous epithelial cells (cytokeratin 4) and goblet cells (cytokeratin 7) were determined. Results Most of cells grown on all scaffolds were viable except for PCL in which only 3.6 ± 2.2% of the cells were viable. No cells attached to PVA scaffold. The outgrowth was greatest on PDL-silk and PET. Outgrowth was smallest on PCL. All cells were CK7-positive on RHC-MPC while 84.7 ± 6.9% of cells expressed CK7 on PDL-silk. For PCL, 87.10 ± 3.17% of cells were CK7-positive compared to PET where 67.10 ± 12.08% of cells were CK7-positive cells. Conclusions Biopolymer substrates in the form of hydrogels and silk films provided for better adherence, proliferation, and differentiation than the electrospun scaffolds and could be used for conjunctival goblet cell expansion for eventual transplantation once undifferentiated and stratified squamous cells are included. Useful polymer scaffold design characteristics have emerged from this study.

Abstract
During the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds and subsequent tissue regeneration, surface bioactivity is vital for cell adhesion, spreading, and proliferation, especially for endothelium dysfunction repair. In this paper, synthetic polymer polycaprolactone (PCL) was blended with natural polymer gelatin at four different weight ratios followed by crosslinking (i.e., 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, 30:70, labeled as PCL-C, P7G3-C, P5G5-C, and P3G7-C) to impart enhanced bioactivity and tunable mechanical properties. The PCL/gelatin blends were first dissolved in 2,2,2-trifluroethanol (TFE) and supplementary acetic acid (1% relative to TFE) solvent, electrospun, and then cross-linked to produce PBS-proof fibrous scaffolds. Scanning electron micrographs (SEM) indicated that fibers of each sample were smooth and homogeneous, with the fiber diameters increasing from 1.01±0.51μm to 1.61±0.46μm as the content of gelatin increased. While thermal resistance and crystallization of the blends were affected by the presence of gelatin, as reflected by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results, water contact angle (WCA) tests confirmed that the scaffold surfaces became more hydrophilic. Tensile tests showed that PCL-C and P7G3-C scaffolds had mechanical properties comparable to those of human coronary arteries. As for cytocompatibility, skeleton staining images showed that human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) had more favorable binding sites on PCL/gelatin scaffolds than those on PCL scaffolds. Cell proliferation assays revealed that P7G3-C scaffolds could support the most number of hMSCs. The results of this study demonstrated the enhanced cell-matrix interactions and potential use of electrospun PCL/gelatin scaffolds in the tissue engineering field, especially in wound dressings and endothelium regeneration.
