Abstract
Myogenic differentiation during muscle regeneration is guided by various physical and biochemical factors. Recently, substratum elasticity has gained attention as a physical signal that influences both cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. In this work, we investigated the influence of substratum elasticity on proliferation and differentiation of myogenic cells, mouse myoblasts of the C2C12 cell line and mouse primary myoblasts derived from satellite cells-muscle stem cells playing key role in muscle regeneration. Materials with different elastic moduli within the MPa scale based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were used as cell substratum and characterized for surface roughness, wettability, and micromechanical characteristics. We found that surface properties of PDMS substrates are alter nonlinearly with the increase of the material's elastic modulus. Using this system we provide an evidence that materials with elastic modulus higher than that of physiological skeletal muscle tissue do not perturb myogenic differentiation of both types of myoblasts; thus, can be used as biomaterials for muscle tissue engineering. PDMS materials with elasticity within the range of 2.5-4 MPa may transiently limit the proliferation of myoblasts, but not the efficiency of their differentiation. Direct correlation between substratum elasticity and myogenic differentiation efficiency was not observed but the other surface properties of the PDMS materials such as nanoroughness and wettability were also diverse.

Abstract
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide a promising means of creating custom-tailored cell lines for cellular therapies. Their application in regenerative medicine, however, depends on the possibility that the maintenance and differentiation of cells and organs occur under defined conditions. One major component of stem cell culture systems is the substrate, where the cells must attach and proliferate. The present study aimed to investigate the putative cytotoxic effects of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based matrices on the in vitro culture of mouse fetal fibroblasts. In addition, the PVA-based hydrogels were used to determine the capacity of bovine induced pluripotent stem cells (biPSCs) to adhere and proliferate on synthetic substrates. Our results show that both cell types interacted with the substrate and presented proliferation during culture. The biPSCs formed new colonies when cell suspensions were placed onto the hydrogel surface for culture. These results may represent a new characterized xeno-free clinical grade culture system to be widely applied in cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels have been considered as promising implants for various soft tissue engineering applications because of their tissue-like viscoelasticity and biocompatibility. However, two critical barriers including lack of sufficient mechanical properties and non-tissue-adhesive characterization limit their application as tissue substitutes. Herein, PVA is methacrylated with ultralow degrees of substitution of methacryloyl groups to produce PVA-glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Subsequently, the PVA-GMA/methacrylate-functionalized silica nanoparticle (MSi)-based nanocomposite hydrogels are developed via the photopolymerization approach. Interestingly, both PVA-GMA-based hydrogels and PVA-GMA/MSi-based nanocomposite hydrogels exhibit outstanding compressive properties, which cannot be damaged through compressive stress-strain tests in the allowable scope of a tensile tester. Moreover, PVA-GMA/MSi-based nanocomposite hydrogels demonstrate excellent tensile properties compared with neat PVA-GMA-based hydrogels, and 15-, 14-, and 24-fold increase in fracture stress, elastic modulus, and toughness, respectively, is achieved for the PVA-GMA/MSi-based hydrogels with 10 wt % of MSi. These remarkable enhancements can be ascribed to the amount of long and flexible polymer chains of PVA-GMA and the strong interactions between the MSi and PVA-GMA chains. More interestingly, exciting improvements in the cell adhesion can also be successfully achieved by the incorporation of MSi nanoparticles.

Abstract
We describe bending by liquid/liquid or liquid/air interfaces as a simple and broadly applicable technique for measuring the elastic modulus of thin elastic sheets. The balance between bending and surface energies allows for the characterization of a wide range of materials with moduli ranging from kilopascals to gigapascals in both vapor and liquid environments, as demonstrated here by measurements of both soft hydrogel layers and stiff glassy polymer films. Compared to existing approaches, this method is especially useful for characterizing soft materials (<megapascals in modulus), thin sheets with sub-millimeter in-plane dimensions, and samples immersed in a variety of liquid media. The measurement is independent of the three-phase (liquid/solid/medium) contact angle for appropriately chosen wetting conditions, therefore requiring only knowledge of the liquid/medium surface tension and the sheet thickness to characterize sheets with specified shapes. Using the method, we characterize photo-cross-linkable polyelectrolyte hydrogel sheets swelled to equilibrium in an aqueous medium and demonstrate good agreement with predicted scalings of the modulus and swelling ratio with cross-link density.

Abstract
In order to suppress chronic inflammation while supporting cell proliferation, there has been a continuous surge toward development of polymers with the intention of delivering anti-inflammatory molecules in a sustained manner. In the above backdrop, we report the synthesis of a novel, stable, cross-linked polyester with salicylic acid (SA) incorporated in the polymeric backbone and propose a simple synthesis route by melt condensation. The as-synthesized polymer was hydrophobic with a glass transition temperature of 1 °C, which increases to 17 °C upon curing. The combination of NMR and FT-IR spectral techniques established the ester linkages in the as-synthesized SA-based polyester. The pH-dependent degradation rate and the rate of release of salicylic acid from the as-synthesized SA-based polymer were studied at physiological conditions in vitro. The polyester underwent surface erosion and exhibited linear degradation kinetics in which a change in degradation rate is observed after 4-10 days and 24% mass loss was recorded after 4 months at 37 °C and pH 7.4. The delivery of salicylic acid also showed a similar change in slopes, with a sustained release rate of 3.5% in 4 months. The cytocompatibility studies of these polyesters were carried out with C2C12 murine myoblast cells using techniques like MTT assay and flow cytometry. Our results strongly suggest that SA-based polyester supports cell proliferation for 3 days in culture and do not cause cell death (<7%), as quantified by propidium iodide (PI) stained cells. Hence, these polyesters can be used as implant materials for localized, sustained delivery of salicylic acid and have applications in adjuvant cancer therapy, chronic wound healing, and as an alternative to commercially available polymers like poly(lactic acid) and poly(glycolic acid) or their copolymers.

Abstract
Tailoring the interface interactions between a biomaterial and the surrounding tissue is a capital aspect to consider for the design of medical devices. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels present suitable mechanical properties for various biological substitutes, however the lack of cell adhesion on their surface is often a problem. The common approach is to incorporate biomolecules, either by blending or coupling. But these modifications disrupt PVA intra- and intermolecular interactions leading therefore to a loss of its original mechanical properties. In this work, surface modification by glow discharge plasma, technique known to modify only the surface without altering the bulk properties, has been investigated to promote cell attachment on PVA substrates. N2/H2 microwave plasma treatment has been performed, and the chemical composition of PVA surface has been investigated. X-ray photoelectron and Fourier transform infrared analyses on the plasma-treated films revealed the presence of carbonyl and nitrogen species, including amine and amide groups, while the main structure of PVA was unchanged. Plasma modification induced an increase in the PVA surface wettability with no significant change in surface roughness. In contrast to untreated PVA, plasma-modified films allowed successful culture of mouse fibroblasts and human endothelial cells. These results evidenced that the grafting was stable after rehydration and that it displayed cell adhesive properties. Thus plasma amination of PVA is a promising approach to improve cell behavior on contact with synthetic hydrogels for tissue engineering.
