Abstract
Biomaterials derived from natural resources have increasingly been used for versatile applications in the central nervous system (CNS). Thanks to their biocompatibility and biodegradability, natural biomaterials offer vast possibilities for future clinical repair strategies for the CNS. These materials can be used for diverse applications such as hydrogels to fill the tissue cavities, microparticles to deliver drugs across the blood-brain barrier, and scaffolds to transplant stem cells. In this review, various uses of prominent protein and polysaccharide biomaterials, with a special focus on collagen, in repair and regenerative applications for the brain are summarized together with their individual advantages and disadvantages.

Long-term effects of intracranial islet grafting on cognitive functioning in a rat metabolic model of sporadic Alzheimer's disease-like dementia. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0227879.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that Alzheimer’s disease is associated with brain insulin resistance, as are some other types of dementia. Intranasal insulin administration has been suggested as a potential approach to overcoming brain insulin resistance and improving cognitive functions. Islet transplantation into the cranial subarachnoid cavity was used as an alternative route for insulin delivery into the brain. Recently, the authors showed the short-term beneficial cognitive effect of a small number of intracranially grafted islets in rats with cognitive dysfunction induced by intracerebroventricular administration of streptozotocin (icv-STZ). This was associated with continuous and safe insulin delivery to the rat brain. The current study investigated the long-term effect of intracranial grafting of islets on cognitive functioning in icv-STZ rats. Severe dementia, associated with obesity and cerebral amyloid-β angiopathy, was induced in Lewis inbred rats by icv-STZ. Two months after icv-STZ, one hundred syngeneic islets were transplanted into the cranial subarachnoid space. Two and six months later, cognitive alterations were assessed by Morris water-maze tests. Islet graft survival was evaluated by immunohistochemical and biochemical assays. Improvement was found in spatial learning and memory of grafted rats as opposed to the sham-operated icv-STZ rats. The grafted islets showed intact morphology, intensive expression of insulin, glucagon and glucose transporter 2. Normoglycemic obesity and cerebral amyloid-β angiopathy were found in both grafted and sham-operated icv-STZ rats. In conclusion, islet grafting into cranial subarachnoid space provides an efficient and safe approach for insulin delivery to the brain, leading to a long-term attenuation of icv-STZ-induced cognitive dysfunction.

Abstract
Disinhibition of antibiotics promotes the use of probiotics, prebiotics, immune enhancers, and plant extracts. We investigated the effects of stevioside on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, serum parameters, and intestinal microflora in broilers. Eight hundred ninety-six one-day-old male Arbor Acres broiler chicks (average body weight 48.36 ± 0.21 g) were allotted to 1 of 7 experimental treatments. Treatments consisted of: (1) control (basal diet without supplemental stevioside), (2) 100 mg kg-1 supplemental stevioside (S100), (3) 200 mg kg-1 supplemental stevioside (S200), (4) 400 mg kg-1 supplemental stevioside (S400), (5) 800 mg kg-1 supplemental stevioside (S800), (6) 1600 mg kg-1 supplemental stevioside (S1600), and (7) 3200 mg kg-1 supplemental stevioside (S3200). Performance was not affected by stevioside concentration. Dietary stevioside supplementation increased the digestibility of calcium (P < 0.05) and tended to improve phosphorus digestibility (P = 0.0730). There was a linear effect of dietary stevioside on the concentration of serum glucose (P < 0.05). The serum IgG and IgA levels were linearly increased by stevioside supplementation (P < 0.05). In the ileal digesta, the concentration of E. coli decreased with increasing dietary stevioside supplementation (P < 0.05). On the contrary, dietary stevioside supplementation increased the concentration of Bifidobacteria (P < 0.01) and tended to improve the concentration of Lactobacillus (P = 0.0791). In conclusion, our data suggest that stevioside supplementation could improve the calcium and phosphorus digestibility and decrease blood glucose levels of broilers. Additionally, dietary stevioside supplementation significantly increased Bifidobacteria in the cecal digesta, and decreased E. coli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is often associated with brain insulin resistance and peripheral metabolic dysfunctions. Recently, we developed a model of sporadic AD associated with obesity-related peripheral metabolic abnormalities in Lewis rats using intracerebroventricular administration of streptozotocin (icv-STZ). OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess the effect of intracranially grafted pancreatic islets on cognitive and peripheral metabolic dysfunctions in the icv-STZ Lewis rats. METHODS AD-like dementia associated with obesity was induced in inbred Lewis rats using a single icv-STZ. Two months after icv-STZ, syngeneic islets (100 islets per recipient) were implanted in the cranial subarachnoid cavity of icv-STZ rats. Morris water maze and marble burying tests were used for studying cognitive and behavioral functions. Central and peripheral metabolic alterations were assessed by histological and biochemical assays. RESULTS The icv-STZ induced increases in food intake, body weight, and blood levels of insulin and leptin without alteration of glucose homeostasis. Grafted islets reduced body weight gain, food consumption, peripheral insulin resistance, and hyperleptinemia. Biochemical and histological analysis of the brain revealed viable grafted islets expressing insulin and glucagon. The grafted islets did not affect expression of brain insulin receptors and peripheral glucose homeostasis. Two months after islet transplantation, cognitive and behavioral functioning in transplanted rats were significantly better than the sham-operated icv-STZ rats. No significant differences in the locomotor activity between transplanted and non-transplanted icv-STZ rats were found. CONCLUSIONS Intracranial islet transplantation attenuates cognitive decline and peripheral metabolic dysfunctions providing a novel therapeutic approach for sporadic AD associated with peripheral metabolic dysfunctions.

Abstract
The development and application of novel nanospheres based on cationic and anionic random amphiphilic polypeptides with prolonged stability were proposed. The random copolymers, e.g., poly(l-lysine-co-d-phenylalanine) (P(Lys-co-dPhe)) and poly(l-glutamic acid-co-d-phenylalanine) (P(Glu-co-dPhe)), with different amount of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers were synthesized. The polypeptides obtained were able to self-assemble into nanospheres. Such characteristics as size, PDI and ζ-potential of the nanospheres were determined, as well as their dependence on pH was also studied. Additionally, the investigation of their biodegradability and cytotoxicity was performed. The prolonged stability of nanospheres was achieved via introduction of d-amino acids into the polypeptide structure. The cytotoxicity of nanospheres obtained was tested using HEK-293 cells. It was proved that no cytotoxicity up to the concentration of 500 µg/mL was observed. C-peptide delivery systems were realized in two ways: (1) peptide immobilization on the surface of P(Glu-co-dPhe) nanospheres; and (2) peptide encapsulation into P(Lys-co-dPhe) systems. The immobilization capacity and the dependence of C-peptide encapsulation efficiency, as well as maximal loading capacity, on initial drug concentration was studied. The kinetic of drug release was studied at model physiological conditions. Novel formulations of a long-acting C-peptide exhibited their effect ex vivo by increasing activity of erythrocyte Na⁺/K⁺-adenosine triphosphatase.

Abstract
Pancreatic islet transplantation has been validated as a valuable therapy for type 1 diabetes mellitus patients with exhausted insulin treatment. However, this therapy remains limited by the shortage of donor and the requirement of lifelong immunosuppression. Islet encapsulation, as an available bioartificial pancreas (BAP), represents a promising approach to enable protecting islet grafts without or with minimal immunosuppression and possibly expanding the donor pool. To develop a clinically implantable BAP, some key aspects need to be taken into account: encapsulation material, capsule design, and implant site. Among them, the implant site exerts an important influence on the engraftment, stability, and biocompatibility of implanted BAP. Currently, an optimal site for encapsulated islet transplantation may include sufficient capacity to host large graft volumes, portal drainage, ease of access using safe and reproducible procedure, adequate blood/oxygen supply, minimal immune/inflammatory reaction, pliable for noninvasive imaging and biopsy, and potential of local microenvironment manipulation or bioengineering. Varying degrees of success have been confirmed with the utilization of liver or extrahepatic sites in an experimental or preclinical setting. However, the ideal implant site remains to be further engineered or selected for the widespread application of encapsulated islet transplantation.

Abstract
Abstract The objective of the present investigation was to formulate and characterize the human insulin entrapped Eudragit S100 microspheres containing protease inhibitors and to develop an optimized formulation with desirable features. A w/o/w multiple emulsion solvent evaporation technique was employed to produce microspheres of human insulin using Eudragit S-100 as coating material and polyvinyl alcohol as a stabilizer. The resultant microspheres were evaluated for drug-excipient compatibility, encapsulation efficiency, particle size, surface morphology, micromeritic properties, enteric nature, and in vitro drug release studies. Micromeritic properties indicated good flow properties and compressibility. In present investigation formulation F6 with drug/polymer ratio (1:100) was found to be optimal in terms of evaluated parameters where it showed a significantly higher percentage of encapsulation efficiency (76.84%) with minimal drug release (3.25%) in an acidic environment. The optimized formulation (F6) also possessed good spherical shape and particle size (57.42 µm) required to achieve the desired in vitro drug release profile at pH 7.4. The results confirmed that human insulin-loaded Eudragit S-100 microspheres containing protease inhibitor possessed good encapsulation efficiency, pH dependant controlled release carrying encapsulated insulin to its optimum site of absorption. This ultimately resulted in enhanced insulin absorption and biological response. Graphical Abstract ![]()
