Abstract
The Brazilian Buriti oil presents low extraction costs and relevant antioxidant properties. Thus, this work aimed to analyze Buriti oil biomaterial (BB), within its physicochemical properties, biocompatibility and cellular integration, with the purpose to the use as a growth matrix for Goat Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells. Biomaterials were produced from Buriti oil polymer (Mauritia flexuosa), for it's characterization were performed Infrared Region Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TG and DTG). The biointegration was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and histological techniques. In order to investigate biocompatibility, MTT (3-(4,5-dimetil-2-tiazolil)-2,5-difenil-2H-tetrazólio) test and hemolytic activity tests were performed. The activation capacity of immune system cellswas measured by phagocytic capacity assay and nitric oxide synthesis . The BB presented an amorphous composition, with high thermal stability and high water expansion capacity, a surface with micro and macropores, and good adhesion of Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells (MSCWJ). We verified the absence of cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity, in addition, BB did not stimulate the activation of macrophages. Proving to be a safe material for direct cultivation and also for manufacturing of compounds used for in vivo applications.

Vancomycin-nanofunctionalized peptide-enriched silk fibroin to prevent methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis-induced femoral nonunions in rats. Front Cell Infect Microbiol 2023; 12:1056912.

Abstract
Introduction Implant-related infections and infected fractures are significant burdens in orthopedics. Staphylococcus epidermidis is one of the main causes of bone infections related to biofilm formation upon implants. Current antibiotic prophylaxis/therapy is often inadequate to prevent biofilm formation and results in antibiotic resistance. The development of bioactive materials combining antimicrobial and osteoconductive properties offers great potential for the eradication of microorganisms and for the enhancement of bone deposition in the presence of infections. The purpose of this study is to prevent the development of methicillin-resistant S. epidermidis (MRSE)-infected nonunion in a rat model. Methods To this end, a recently developed in our laboratories bioactive material consisting of antibiotic-loaded nanoparticles based on carboxylic acid functionalized hyperbranched aliphatic polyester (CHAP) that are integrated into peptide-enriched silk fibroin sponges with osteoconductive properties (AFN-PSF) was employed, whose biocompatibility and microbiological tests provided proof of its potential for the treatment of both orthopedic and dental infections. In particular, non-critical femoral fractures fixed with plates and screws were performed in Wistar rats, which were then randomly divided into three groups: 1) the sham control (no infection, no treatment); 2) the control group, infected with MRSE and treated with peptide-enriched silk fibroin sponges incorporating non-drug-loaded functionalized nanoparticles (PSF); 3) the treated group, infected with MRSE and treated with peptide-enriched silk fibroin sponges incorporating vancomycin-loaded functionalized nanoparticles (AFN-PSF). After 8 weeks, bone healing and osteomyelitis were clinically assessed and evaluated by micro-CT, microbiological and histological analyses. Results The sham group showed no signs of infection and complete bone healing. The PSF group failed to repair the infected fracture, displaying 75% of altered bone healing and severe signs of osteomyelitis. The AFN-PSF treated group reached 70% of fracture healing in the absence of signs of osteomyelitis, such as abscesses in the cortical and intraosseous compartments and bone necrosis with sequestra. Discussion AFN-PSF sponges have proven effective in preventing the development of infected nonunion in vivo. The proposed nanotechnology for local administration of antibiotics can have a significant impact on patient health in the case of orthopedic infections.

Abstract
Silk fibroin is a protein with intrinsic characteristics that make it a good candidate as a scaffold for tissue engineering. Recent works have enhanced its benefits by adding inorganic phases that interact with silk fibroin in different ways. A systematic review was performed in four databases to study the physicochemical and biological performance of silk fibroin nanocomposites. In the last decade, only 51 articles contained either in vitro cell culture models or in vivo tests. The analysis of such works resulted in their classification into the following scaffold types: particles, mats and textiles, films, hydrogels, sponge-like structures, and mixed conformations. From the physicochemical perspective, the inorganic phase imbued in silk fibroin nanocomposites resulted in better stability and mechanical performance. This review revealed that the inorganic phase may be associated with specific biological responses, such as neovascularisation, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. The study of nanocomposites as tissue engineering scaffolds is a highly active area mostly focused on bone and cartilage regeneration with promising results. Nonetheless, there are still many challenges related to their application in other tissues, a better understanding of the interaction between the inorganic and organic phases, and the associated biological response.

Abstract
Cell-seeded microcarriers (MCs) are currently one of the most promising topics in biotechnology. These systems are supportive structures for cell growth and expansion that allow efficient nutrient and gas transfer between the media and the attached cells. Silk proteins have been increasingly used for this purpose in the past few years due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and non-toxicity. To date, several silk fibroin spherical MCs in combination with alginate, gelatin and calcium phosphates have been reported with very interesting outcomes. In addition, other silk-based three-dimensional structures such as microparticles with chitosan and collagen, as well as organoids, have been increasingly studied. In this study, the physicochemical and biological properties of these biomaterials, as well as the recent methodologies for their processing and for cell culture, are discussed. The potential biomedical applications are also addressed. In addition, an analysis of the future perspectives is presented, where the potential of innovative silk-based MCs processing technologies is highlighted.

Abstract
For the last two decades, silk has been extensively used as scaffolds in tissue engineering because of its remarkable properties. Unfortunately, the aneural property of cartilage limits its regenerative potential which can be achieved using tissue engineering approach. A lot of research has been published searching for the optimization of silk fibroin (SF) and its blends in order to get the best cartilage mimicking properties. However, according to our best knowledge, there is no systematic review available regarding the use of Bombyx mori derived biomaterials limited to cartilage related studies. This systematic review highlights the in vitro and in vivo work done for the past 7 years on structural and functional properties of B. mori derived biomaterials together with different parameters for cartilage regeneration. PubMed database was searched focusing on in vitro and in vivo studies using the search thread "silk fibroin" and "cartilage". A total of 40 articles met the inclusion criteria. All the articles were deeply studied for cell types, scaffold types and animal models used along with study design and results. Five types of cells were used for in vitro while seven types of cells were used for in vivo studies. Three types of animal models were used for scaffold implantation purpose. Moreover, different types of scaffolds either seeded with cells or supplemented with various factors were explored and discussed in detail. Results suggest the suitability of silk as a better biomaterial because of its cartilage mimicking properties.

Abstract
There is currently widespread interest within the biomaterial field to locally deliver biomolecules for bone and cartilage regeneration. Substantial work to date has focused on the potential role of these biomolecules during the healing process, and the carrier system utilized is a key factor in their effectiveness. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is a naturally derived fibrin scaffold that is easily obtained from peripheral blood following centrifugation. Slower centrifugation speeds have led to the commercialization of a liquid formulation (liquid-PRF) resulting in an upper plasma layer composed of liquid fibrinogen/thrombin prior to clot formation that remains in its liquid phase for approximately 15 min until injected into bodily tissues. Herein, we introduce the use of liquid PRF as an advanced local delivery system for small and large biomolecules. Potential target molecules including large (growth factors/cytokines and morphogenetic/angiogenic factors), as well as small (antibiotics, peptides, gene therapy and anti-osteoporotic) molecules are considered potential candidates for enhanced bone/cartilage tissue regeneration. Furthermore, liquid-PRF is introduced as a potential carrier system for various cell types and nano-sized particles that are capable of limiting/by-passing the immune system and minimizing potential foreign body reactions within host tissues following injection. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE There is currently widespread interest within the biomaterial field to locally deliver biomolecules for bone and cartilage regeneration. This review article focuses on the use of a liquid version of platelet rich fibrin (PRF) composed of liquid fibrinogen/thrombin as a drug delivery system. Herein, we introduce the use of liquid PRF as an advanced local delivery system for small and large biomolecules including growth factors, cytokines and morphogenetic/angiogenic factors, as well as antibiotics, peptides, gene therapy and anti-osteoporotic molecules as potential candidates for enhanced bone/cartilage tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Osteochondral (OC) defects are prevalent among young adults and are notorious for being unable to heal. Although they are traumatic in nature, they often develop silently. Detection of many OC defects is challenging, despite the criticality of early care. Current repair approaches face limitations and cannot provide regenerative or long-standing solution. Clinicians and researchers are working together in order to develop approaches that can regenerate the damaged tissues and protect the joint from developing osteoarthritis. The current concepts of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, which have brought many promising applications to OC management, are overviewed herein. We will also review the types of stem cells that aim to provide sustainable cell sources overcoming the limitation of autologous chondrocyte-based applications. The various scaffolding materials that can be used as extracellular matrix mimetic and having functional properties similar to the OC unit are also discussed.

Abstract
The treatment and regeneration of bone defects caused by traumatism or diseases have not been completely addressed by current therapies. Lately, advanced tools and technologies have been successfully developed for bone tissue regeneration. Functional scaffolding materials such as biopolymers and bioresorbable fillers have gained particular attention, owing to their ability to promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and extracellular matrix production, which promote new bone growth. Here, we present novel biofunctional scaffolds for bone regeneration composed of silk fibroin (SF) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and incorporating Sr, Zn, and Mn, which were successfully developed using salt-leaching followed by a freeze-drying technique. The scaffolds presented a suitable pore size, porosity, and high interconnectivity, adequate for promoting cell attachment and proliferation. The degradation behavior and compressive mechanical strengths showed that SF/ionic-doped TCP scaffolds exhibit improved characteristics for bone tissue engineering when compared with SF scaffolds alone. The in vitro bioactivity assays using a simulated body fluid showed the growth of an apatite layer. Furthermore, in vitro assays using human adipose-derived stem cells presented different effects on cell proliferation/differentiation when varying the doping agents in the biofunctional scaffolds. The incorporation of Zn into the scaffolds led to improved proliferation, while the Sr- and Mn-doped scaffolds presented higher osteogenic potential as demonstrated by DNA quantification and alkaline phosphatase activity. The combination of Sr with Zn led to an influence on cell proliferation and osteogenesis when compared with single ions. Our results indicate that biofunctional ionic-doped composite scaffolds are good candidates for further in vivo studies on bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a disease burden estimated to increase over the coming decades. Disease heterogeneity and limited information on cancer biology and disease mechanisms are aspects that 2D cell cultures fail to address. Here, we review the current ‘state-of-the-art’ in 3D tissue-engineering (TE) models developed for, and used in, cancer research. We assess the potential for scaffold-based TE models and microfluidics to fill the gap between 2D models and clinical application. We also discuss recent advances in combining the principles of 3D TE models and microfluidics, with a special focus on biomaterials and the most promising chip-based 3D models.
