Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) stands out as a highly lethal disease that poses a significant threat to global health. Worldwide, heart failure resulting from MI remains a leading cause of human mortality. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach, leveraging its intrinsic healing properties. Nevertheless, pervasive issues, including a low cell retention rate, suboptimal survival rate, and incomplete differentiation of MSCs, present formidable challenges for further research. The introduction and advancement of biomaterials have offered a novel avenue for the exploration of MSC therapy in MI, marking considerable progress thus far. Notably, hydrogels, among the representative biomaterials, have garnered extensive attention within the biomedical field. This review delves into recent advancements, specifically focusing on the application of hydrogels to augment MSC therapy for cardiac tissue regeneration in MI.

Fabrication of self-assembled core-sheath microfibers via formulation of alginate-based bioinks. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 305:120557. [PMID: 36737203 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2022] [Revised: 01/03/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Core-sheath microfibrous structures are widely used in various tissue engineering applications and drug delivery systems. However, the fabrication of the various core-sheath structures using a 3D printing process supplemented with a coaxial nozzle has been challenging due to the center positioning of the core nozzle enclosed in the bigger shell nozzle. In this work, we developed a new 3D printing process using an alginate-based bioink (a mixture of photo-crosslinkable hydrogel and alginate) and its in situ crosslinking process within a single glass nozzle of the 3D printer. By manipulating the alginate weight fraction, UV intensity, flow rate, and nozzle moving speed, we could fabricate various self-assembled core-sheath structures (straight, wavy, and crimped microfibers in the core region of the structure) in which the photocrosslinked hydrogel resided in the core, and alginate was positioned in the sheath region, like a virtual coaxial nozzle.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a highly effective technique for fabricating cell-loaded constructs in tissue engineering. However, the versatility of fabricating precise and complex cell-loaded hydrogels is limited owing to the poor crosslinking ability of cell-containing hydrogels. Herein, we propose an optic-fiber-assisted bioprinting (OAB) process to efficiently crosslink methacrylated hydrogels. By selecting appropriate processing conditions for the photo-crosslinking technique, we fabricated biofunctional cell-laden structures including methacrylated gelatin (Gelma), collagen, and decellularized extracellular matrix. To apply the method to skeletal muscle regeneration, cell-laden Gelma constructs were processed with a functional nozzle having a topographical cue and an OAB process that could induce a uniaxial alignment of C2C12 and human adipose stem cells (hASCs). Significantly higher degrees of cell alignment and myogenic activities in the cell-laden Gelma structure were observed compared with those in the cell construct that was printed using a conventional crosslinking method. Moreover, an in vivo regenerative potential was observed in volumetric muscle defects in a mouse model. The hASC-laden construct significantly induced greater muscle regeneration than the cell construct without topographical cues. Based on the results, the newly designed bioprinting process can prove to be highly effective in fabricating biofunctional cell-laden constructs for various tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Bio-hybrid technologies aim to replicate the unique capabilities of biological systems that could surpass advanced artificial technologies. Soft bio-hybrid robots consist of synthetic and living materials and have the potential to self-assemble, regenerate, work autonomously, and interact safely with other species and the environment. Cells require a sufficient exchange of nutrients and gases, which is guaranteed by convection and diffusive transport through liquid media. The functional development and long-term survival of biological tissues in vitro can be improved by dynamic flow culture, but only microfluidic flow control can develop tissue with fine structuring and regulation at the microscale. Full control of tissue growth at the microscale will eventually lead to functional macroscale constructs, which are needed as the biological component of soft bio-hybrid technologies. This review summarizes recent progress in microfluidic techniques to engineer biological tissues, focusing on the use of muscle cells for robotic bio-actuation. Moreover, the instances in which bio-actuation technologies greatly benefit from fusion with microfluidics are highlighted, which include: the microfabrication of matrices, biomimicry of cell microenvironments, tissue maturation, perfusion, and vascularization.

Abstract
Cell-laden microgels have attracted increasing interest in various biomedical fields, as living building blocks to construct spatially organized multicellular structures or complex tissue features (e.g., cell spheroids and aligned cells/fibers). Although numerous approaches have been developed to tailor cell-laden microgels, there is still an unmet need for modular, versatile, convenient, and high-throughput methods. In this study, as inspired by the phenomena of water droplet manipulation from natural microstructures, a novel platform is developed to manipulate microscale hydrogel droplets and fabricate modular cell-laden microgels. First, taking antenna-like trichome as a template, catcher-like bioinspired microstructures are fabricated and hydrogel droplets are manipulated modularly in a versatile, convenient, and high-throughput manner, which is compatible with various types of hydrogels (e.g., photo-cross-linking, thermal-cross-linking, and ion-cross-linking). It is demonstrated that this platform can manipulate cell-laden microgels as modular units, such as two or more cell-laden microgels on one single catcher-like structure and different structures on one single chip. The authors also demonstrate the application of this platform on constructing complex tissue features like myocardial fibrosis tissue models to study cardiac fibrosis. The developed platform will be a powerful tool for engineering various in vitro tissue models for widespread biomedical applications.

Abstract
Circumferential alignment of vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) is critical to form an in vivo-like vascular smooth muscle layer in vitro. Although many techniques to elicit such an alignment on 3D substrates have been demonstrated, it remains a challenge to recapitulate the circumferential cellular alignment of vascular smooth muscle tissues in 3D hydrogels. Here, we propose a spring-like gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) structure formed by semi-automated reeling of a core-shell microfiber at the micro-scale. The resulting structures facilitate circumferential alignment and self-organization of encapsulated human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into multilayer spring-like cellular structures. Based on the permeable tubular lumens of these structures, a perfusion culture micro-system is developed to further facilitate the vSMC differentiation of MSCs under the effect of TGF-β1. We also evaluated the MSC contraction-induced shrinkage of the resulting cellular structures. These results demonstrate the successful in vitro regeneration of vascular smooth muscle (vSM)-like tissues in 3D environments. Compared with the substrate surface, the porous structure in hydrogels is more similar to cell microenvironments in vivo. Thus, this approach may be used to develop an in vitro model for the study of vascular tissue regeneration and the mechanism of vascular remolding during hypertension.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most malignant and highly aggressive brain tumor. In this study, four types of typical GBM cell lines (LN229, SNB19, U87, U251) were cultured in a microfabricated 3-D model to study their in vitro behaviors. The 3-D in vitro model provides hollow micro-chamber arrays containing a natural collagen interface and thus allows the GBM cells to grow in the 3-D chambers. The GBM cells in this model showed specific properties on the aspects of cell morphology, proliferation, migration, and invasion, some of which were rarely observed before. Furthermore, how the cells invaded into the surrounding ECM and the corresponding specific invasion patterns were observed in details, implying that the four types of cells have different features during their development in cancer. This complex in vitro model, if applied to patient derived cells, possesses the potential of becoming a clinically relevant predictive model.

Abstract
The human body can be viewed as an organism consisting of a variety of cellular and non-cellular materials interacting in a highly ordered manner. Its complex and hierarchical nature inspires the multi-level recapitulation of the human body in order to gain insights into the inner workings of life. While traditional cell culture models have led to new insights into the cellular microenvironment and biological control in vivo, deeper understanding of biological systems and human pathophysiology requires the development of novel model systems that allow for analysis of complex internal and external interactions within the cellular microenvironment in a more relevant organ context. Engineering organ-on-chip systems offers an unprecedented opportunity to unravel the complex and hierarchical nature of human organs. In this chapter, we first highlight the advances in microfluidic platforms that enable engineering of the cellular microenvironment and the transition from cells-on-chips to organs-on-chips. Then, we introduce the key features of the emerging organs-on-chips and their proof-of-concept applications in biomedical research. We also discuss the challenges and future outlooks of this state-of-the-art technology.

Abstract
Accompanied by the increasing demand for organ transplants and personalized medicine, recent years have witnessed great developments in the regeneration of tissues/organs, which has benefited from various manufacturing technologies, especially 3D bioprinting. In 3D bioprinting, according to the morphogenesis, cellular microenvironment, and biological functions of the native tissues/organs, cells and biomaterials are printed by layer-by-layer assembly to form 3D bio-functional units. However, there are still substantial differences between existing 3D printed constructs and actual tissues and organs, especially in microscale structures such as vascular networks. By manipulating controllable fluids carrying biomolecules, cells, organisms, or chemical agents, microfluidic techniques aim to integrate biological or chemical functional units into a chip. With its features of biocompatibility, flexible manipulation, and scale integration on the micro/nanoscale, microfluidics has been a tool that has enabled the generation of micro-tissues/organs with precise configurations. With the inspiration of these two technologies, there have been efforts to fabricate functional living tissues and artificial organs with complex structures via a combination of 3D bioprinting and microfluidics, which may lead to unexpected effects. In this review, we discuss advances in microfluidics-assisted bioprinting in the engineering of tissues/organs and provide future perspectives for this combination in the generation of highly biomimetic tissues and organs in vitro.

Abstract
Recently, microfluidic technologies have attracted an enormous amount of interest as potential new tools for a large range of applications including materials synthesis, chemical and biological detection, drug delivery and screening, point-of-care diagnostics, and in-the-field analysis. Their ability to handle extremely small volumes of fluids is accompanied by additional benefits, most notably, rapid and efficient mass and heat transfer. In addition, reactions performed within microfluidic systems are highly controlled, meaning that many advanced materials, with uniform and bespoke properties, can be synthesized in a direct and rapid manner. In this review, we discuss the utility of microfluidic systems in the synthesis of materials for a variety of biological applications. Such materials include microparticles or microcapsules for drug delivery, nanoscale materials for medicine or cellular assays, and micro- or nanofibers for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cell morphology and nucleus deformation are important when circulating tumor cells break away from the primary tumor and migrate to a distant organ. Cells are sensitive to the microenvironment and respond to the cell-material interfaces. We fabricated TiO2 nanorod arrays with mesoscopic micro-nano interfaces through a two-step hydrothermal reaction method to induce severe changes in cell morphology and nucleus deformation. The average size of the microscale voids was increased from 5.1 to 10.5 μm when the hydrothermal etching time was increased from 3 to 10 h, whereas the average distances between voids were decreased from 0.88 to 0.40 μm. The nucleus of the MCF-7 cells on the TiO2 nanorod substrate that was etched for 10 h exhibited a significant deformation, because of the large size of the voids and the small distance between voids. Nucleus defromation was reversible during the cells proliferate process when the cells were cultured on the mesoscopic micro-nano interface.This reversible process was regulated by combining of the uniform pressure applied by the actin cap and the localized pressure applied by the actin underneath the nucleus. Cell morphology and nucleus shape interacted with each other to adapt to the microenvironment. This mesoscopic micro-nano interface provided a new insight into the cell-biomaterial interface to investigate cell behaviors.

Abstract
The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the cell microenvironment serves not only as a structural foundation for cells but also as a source of three-dimensional (3D) biochemical and biophysical cues that trigger and regulate cell behaviors. Increasing evidence suggests that the 3D character of the microenvironment is required for development of many critical cell responses observed in vivo, fueling a surge in the development of functional and biomimetic materials for engineering the 3D cell microenvironment. Progress in the design of such materials has improved control of cell behaviors in 3D and advanced the fields of tissue regeneration, in vitro tissue models, large-scale cell differentiation, immunotherapy, and gene therapy. However, the field is still in its infancy, and discoveries about the nature of cell-microenvironment interactions continue to overturn much early progress in the field. Key challenges continue to be dissecting the roles of chemistry, structure, mechanics, and electrophysiology in the cell microenvironment, and understanding and harnessing the roles of periodicity and drift in these factors. This review encapsulates where recent advances appear to leave the ever-shifting state of the art, and it highlights areas in which substantial potential and uncertainty remain.

Abstract
Microfluidics is characterized by laminar flow at micro-scale dimension, high surface to volume ratio, and markedly improved heat/mass transfer. In addition, together with advantages of large-scale integration and flexible manipulation, microfluidic technology has been rapidly developed as one of the most important platforms in the field of functional biomaterial synthesis. Compared to biomaterials assisted by conventional strategies, functional biomaterials synthesized by microfluidics are with superior properties and performances, due to their controllable morphology and composition, which have shown great advantages and potential in the field of biomedicine, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Take the significance of microfluidic engineered biomaterials into consideration; this review highlights the microfluidic synthesis technologies and biomedical applications of materials. We divide microfluidic based biomaterials into four kinds. According to the material dimensionality, it includes: 0D (particulate materials), 1D (fibrous materials), 2D (sheet materials), and 3D (construct forms of materials). In particular, micro/nano-particles and micro/nano-fibers are introduced respectively. This classification standard could include all of the microfluidic biomaterials, and we envision introducing a comprehensive and overall evaluation and presentation of microfluidic based biomaterials and their applications.

Abstract
Microgels are favorable for numerous applications such as drug delivery, biomaterials science and tissue engineering. Conventionally, photolithographic methods and micro-molding techniques are extensively exploited to prepare microgels; however, they are, respectively, limited to photocrosslinkable polymers and inadequate to generate serially patterned hydrogels due to the static nature of utilized molds. Herein, we proposed a simple and versatile approach, termed pneumatic-aided micro-molding (PAM), to flexibly fabricate microgels with precise control over multiple cell types and microarchitectures of hydrogels through strategically designed pneumatic microvalves. Using the PAM approach, different cells were encapsulated in various hydrogels that had well-defined geometries. Additionally, single/multiple micro-channeled cell-laden microgels were fabricated, of which the shape, number and arrangement could be finely tuned by varying microvalve configurations. Moreover, multi-compartmental microgels comprising composite hydrogel structures were engineered following a two-step PAM, which demonstrated the utility for biomimetically constructing a three-dimensional (3D) liver microtissue composed of a radially orchestrated network of hepatic cords and sinusoids. The resulting microtissue resembled the organizational complexity of the liver lobule and was applied for the evaluation of acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity. Collectively, the PAM strategy could be a useful and powerful tool in biomedical engineering, in vitro 3D cell culture, and fundamental biological studies.

Abstract
This paper presents a homogeneous system of magnetic colloidal particles that self-assembles via two structural patterns of different symmetry. Based on a qualitative comparison between a real magnetic particles system, analytical calculations and molecular dynamics simulations, it is shown that bistability can be achieved by a proper tailoring of an anisotropic magnetization distribution inside the particles. The presented bistability opens new possibilities to form two-dimensionally extended and flexible structures where the connectivity between the particles can be changed in vivo.
