Abstract
Bone defects are a challenge to healthcare systems, as the aging population experiences an increase in bone defects. Despite the development of biomaterials for bone fillers and scaffolds, there is still an unmet need for a bone-mimetic material. Cortical bone is highly anisotropic and displays a biological liquid crystalline (LC) arrangement, giving it exceptional mechanical properties and a distinctive microenvironment. However, the biofunctions, cell-tissue interactions, and molecular mechanisms of cortical bone anisotropic structure are not well understood. Incorporating anisotropic structures in bone-facilitated scaffolds has been recognised as essential for better outcomes. Various approaches have been used to create anisotropic micro/nanostructures, but biomimetic bone anisotropic structures are still in the early stages of development. Most scaffolds lack features at the nanoscale, and there is no comprehensive evaluation of molecular mechanisms or characterisation of calcium secretion. This manuscript provides a review of the latest development of anisotropic designs for osteogenesis and discusses current findings on cell-anisotropic structure interactions. It also emphasises the need for further research. Filling knowledge gaps will enable the fabrication of scaffolds for improved and more controllable bone regeneration.

Abstract
As hypoxia plays a significant role in the formation and maintenance of cartilage tissue, aiming to develop native hypoxia-mimicking tissue engineering scaffolds is an efficient method to treat articular cartilage (AC) defects. Cobalt (Co) is documented for its hypoxic-inducing effects in vitro by stabilizing the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), a chief regulator of stem cell fate. Considering this, we developed a novel three-dimensional (3D) bioprintable hypoxia-mimicking nano bioink wherein cobalt nanowires (Co NWs) were incorporated into the poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogel system as a hypoxia-inducing agent and encapsulated with umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs). In the current study, we investigated the impact of Co NWs on the chondrogenic differentiation of UMSCs in the PEGDA hydrogel system. Herein, the hypoxia-mimicking nano bioink (PEGDA+Co NW) was rheologically optimized to bioprint geometrically stable cartilaginous constructs. The bioprinted 3D constructs were evaluated for their physicochemical characterization, swelling-degradation behavior, mechanical properties, cell proliferation, and the expression of chondrogenic markers by histological, immunofluorescence, and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) methods. The results disclosed that, compared to the control (PEGDA) group, the hypoxia-mimicking nano bioink (PEGDA+Co NW) group outperformed in print fidelity and mechanical properties. Furthermore, live/dead staining, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) content, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) content demonstrated that adding low amounts of Co NWs (<20 ppm) into PEGDA hydrogel system supported UMSC adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Histological and immunofluorescence staining of the PEGDA+Co NW bioprinted structures revealed the production of type 2 collagen (COL2) and sulfated GAGs, rendering it a feasible option for cartilage repair. It was further corroborated by a significant upregulation of the hypoxia-mediated chondrogenic and downregulation of the hypertrophic/osteogenic marker expression. In conclusion, the hypoxia-mimicking hydrogel system, including PEGDA and Co2+ ions, synergistically directs the UMSCs toward the chondrocyte lineage without using expensive growth factors and provides an alternative strategy for translational applications in the cartilage tissue engineering field.

Abstract
The similar characteristics of biomaterials to the extracellular matrix are essential for efficient tissue repair through dictating cell behaviors. But the scaffold fabrication with complex shapes and controlled alignment have proven to be a difficult task. Herein, a well-designed three-dimensional silk fibroin scaffold is fabricated through ice template technology. The effect of the silk fibroin protein concentration and the freezing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of scaffolds are investigated systematically. Cells behavior mediated by the obtained silk fibroin scaffolds is detected. The results show that the protein concentration plays a vital role in microstructure and scaffold strength. A well-aligned scaffold can be obtained when silk fibroin solution is kept at 12 wt%, which holds the highest mechanical properties. The pore size can be further adjusted in the range of 5-80 µm by changing the freezing temperature from -60 to -196 °C. The well-oriented scaffold with the appropriate pore size of 10-20 µm has the best ability to guide cell alignment. The resulting scaffolds provide an excellent matrix to guide cells behaviors and have a potential application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteochondral regeneration remains a vital problem in clinical situations affecting both bone and cartilage tissues due to the low regeneration ability of cartilage tissue. Additionally, the simultaneous regeneration of bone and cartilage is difficult to attain due to their dissimilar nature. Thus, fabricating a single scaffold for both bone and cartilage regeneration remains challenging. Biomaterials are frequently employed to promote tissue restoration, but they still cannot replicate the structure of native tissue. This study aims to create a single biomaterial that could be used to regenerate both bone and cartilage. This study focuses on synthesizing calcium-deficient apatite (CDA) with the gradual addition of manganese. The phase stability and the effect of heat treatment on manganese-doped CDA were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Rietveld refinement. The obtained powders were tested for their 3-dimensional (3D) printing ability by fabricating cuboidal 3D structures. The 3D printed scaffolds were examined for external topography using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and were subjected to compression testing. In vitro biocompatibility and differentiation studies were performed to access their biocompatibility and differentiation capabilities. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) analysis was done to determine the gene expression of bone- and cartilage-specific markers. Mn helps in stabilizing the β-TCP phase beyond its sintering temperature without being degraded to α-TCP. Mn addition in CDA improves the compressive strength of the fabricated scaffolds while keeping them biocompatible. The concentrations of Mn in the CDA ceramic were found to influence the differentiation behavior of MSCs in the fabricated scaffolds. Mn-doped CDA is a promising candidate to be used as a substitute material for bone, cartilage, and osteochondral defects to facilitate repair and regeneration via endochondral differentiation. 3D printing can assist in the fabrication of a multifunctional single-unit scaffold with varied Mn concentrations, which might be able to generate the two tissues in situ in an osteochondral defect.

Abstract
3D bioprinting technique renders a plausible solution to tissue engineering applications, mainly bone tissue regeneration, which could provide the microenvironment with desired physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. However, the mechanical and structural stability of current natural polymers is a critical issue in the fabrication of bone tissue-engineered scaffolds. To overcome these issues, we have developed 3D bioprintable semi-synthetic polymers derived from natural (sodium alginate, A) and synthetic (polyethylene glycol, PEG) biopolymers. In order to enhance the cross-linking properties and biocompatibility, we have functionalized these polymers with acrylate and methacrylate chemical moieties. These selected combination of natural and synthetic polymers improved the mechanical strength due to the synergistic effect of covalent as well as ionic bond formation in the hydrogel system, which is evident from the tested tensile data. Further, the feasibility of 3D bioprinting of acrylate and methacrylate functionalized PEG and hydrogels have been tested for the biocompatibility of the fabricated structures with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UMSCs). Further, these bioprinted scaffolds were investigated for osteogenic differentiation of UMSCs in two types of culture conditions: namely, i) with osteoinduction media (with OIM), ii) without osteoinduction media (w/o OIM). We have examined the osteoinductivity of scaffolds with the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) content, and significant changes in the ALP activity was observed with the stiffness of developed materials. The extent osteogenic differentiation was observed by alizarin red staining and reverse transcription PCR analysis. Elevated levels of ALP, RUNX2 and COL1 gene expression has been observed in without OIM samples on week 1 and week 3. Further, our study showed that the synthesized alginate methacrylate (AMA) without osteoinduction supplement with young's modulus of 0.34 MPa has a significant difference in ALP quantity and gene expression over the other reported literature. Thus, this work plays a pivotal role in the development of 3D bioprintable and photo-cross-linkable hydrogels in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is composed of biochemical and biophysical cues that control cell behaviors and bulk mechanical properties. For example, anisotropy of the ECM and cell alignment are essential in the directional properties of tissues such as myocardium, tendon, and the knee meniscus. Technologies are needed to introduce anisotropic behavior into biomaterial constructs that can be used for the engineering of tissues as models and towards translational therapies. To address this, we developed an approach to align hydrogel fibers within cell-degradable bioink filaments with extrusion printing, where shear stresses during printing align fibers and photocrosslinking stabilizes the fiber orientation. Suspensions of hydrogel fibers were produced through the mechanical fragmentation of electrospun scaffolds of norbornene-modified hyaluronic acid, which were then encapsulated with meniscal fibrochondrocytes, mesenchymal stromal cells, or cardiac fibroblasts within gelatin-methacrylamide bioinks during extrusion printing into agarose suspension baths. Bioprinting parameters such as the needle diameter and the bioink flow rate influenced shear profiles, whereas the suspension bath properties and needle translation speed influenced filament diameters and uniformity. When optimized, filaments were formed with high levels of fiber alignment, which resulted in directional cell spreading during culture over one week. Controls that included bioprinted filaments without fibers or non-printed hydrogels of the same compositions either with or without fibers resulted in random cell spreading during culture. Further, constructs were printed with variable fiber and resulting cell alignment by varying print direction or using multi-material printing with and without fibers. This biofabrication technology advances our ability to fabricate constructs containing aligned cells towards tissue repair and the development of physiological tissue models.

Abstract
3D printing has emerged as a promising fabrication technique for microfluidic devices, overcoming some of the challenges associated with conventional soft lithography. Filament-based polymer extrusion (popularly known as fused deposition modeling (FDM)) is one of the most accessible 3D printing techniques available, offering a wide range of low-cost thermoplastic polymer materials for microfluidic device fabrication. However, low optical transparency is one of the significant limitations of extrusion-based microfluidic devices, rendering them unsuitable for cell culture-related biological applications. Moreover, previously reported extrusion-based devices were largely dependent on fluorescent dyes for cell imaging because of their poor transparency. First, we aim to improve the optical transparency of FDM-based microfluidic devices to enable bright-field microscopy of cells. This is achieved using (1) transparent polymer filament materials such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) glycol (PETg), (2) optimized 3D printing process parameters, and (3) a hybrid approach by integrating 3D printed microfluidic devices with cast poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) blocks. We begin by optimizing four essential 3D printing process parameters (layer height, printing speed, cooling fan speed, and extrusion flow), affecting the overall transparency of 3D printed devices. Optimized parameters produce exceptional optical transparency close to 80% in 3D printed PETg devices. Next, we demonstrate the potential of FDM-based 3D printing to fabricate transparent micromixing devices with complex planar and nonplanar channel networks. Most importantly, cells cultured on native 3D printed PETg surfaces show excellent cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation during 3 days of culture without extracellular matrix coating or surface treatment. Next, we introduce L929 cells inside hybrid PETg-PDMS biomicrofluidic devices as a proof of concept. We demonstrate that 3D printed hybrid biomicrofluidic devices promote cell adhesion, allow bright-field microscopy, and maintain high cell viability for 3 days. Finally, we demonstrate the applicability of the proposed fabrication approach for developing 3D printed microfluidic devices from other FDM-compatible transparent polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

Abstract
Stem cells have been sought as a promising cell source in the tissue engineering field due to their proliferative capacity as well as differentiation potential. Biomaterials have been utilized to facilitate the delivery of stem cells in order to improve their engraftment and long-term viability upon implantation. Biomaterials also have been developed as scaffolds to promote stem cell induced tissue regeneration. This review focuses on the latter where the biomaterial scaffold is designed to provide physical cues to stem cells in order to promote their behavior for tissue formation. Recent work that explores the effect of scaffold physical properties, topography, mechanical properties and electrical properties, is discussed. Although still being elucidated, the biological mechanisms, including cell shape, focal adhesion distribution, and nuclear shape, are presented. This review also discusses emerging areas and challenges in clinical translation.

Abstract
There has been an increasing amount of research on regenerative medicine for the treatment of bone defects. Scaffolds are needed for the formation of new bone, and various scaffolding materials have been evaluated for bone regeneration. Materials with pores that allow cells to differentiate into osteocytes are preferred in scaffolds for bone regeneration, and porous materials and fibers are well suited for this application. Electrospinning is an effective method for producing a nanosized fiber by applying a high voltage to the needle tip containing a polymer solution. The use of electrospun nanofibers is being studied in the medical field, and its use as a scaffold for bone regeneration therapy has become a topic of growing interest. In this review, we will introduce the potential use of electrospun nanofiber as a scaffold for bone regenerative medicine with a focus on carbon nanofibers produced by the electrospinning method.

Abstract
Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) is one of the most important factors for bone tissue formation. However, its use over the past decade has been associated with numerous side effects. This is due to the fact that recombinant human (rh) BMP-2 has several biological functions, as well as that non-physiological high dosages were commonly administered. In this study, we synthesized a novel BMP-2-related peptide (designated P28) and fused a mutant domain in placenta growth factor-2 (PlGF-2123-144*) that allowed for the "super-affinity" of extracellular matrix proteins to P28, effectively controlling the release of low dosage P28 from small intestinal submucosa/polylactic acid (SIS/PLA) scaffolds. These have been shown to be excellent scaffold materials both in vivo and in vitro. The aim of this study was to determine whether these scaffolds could support the controlled release of P28 over time, and whether the composite materials could serve as structurally and functionally superior bone substitutes in vivo. Our results demonstrated that P28 could be released slowly from SIS/PLA to promote the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) in vitro. In vivo, radiographic and histological examination showed that SIS/PLA/P28/PlGF-2123-144* completely repaired critical-size bone defects, compared to SIS/PLA, SIS/PLA/PlGF-2123-144*, or SIS/PLA/P28 alone. These findings suggest that this controlled release system may have promising clinical applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine has been widely researched for the treatment of bone defects. In the field of bone regenerative medicine, signaling molecules and the use of scaffolds are of particular importance as drug delivery systems (DDS) or carriers for cell differentiation, and various materials have been explored for their potential use. Although calcium phosphates such as hydroxyapatite and tricalcium phosphate are clinically used as synthetic scaffold material for bone regeneration, biodegradable materials have attracted much attention in recent years for their clinical application as scaffolds due their ability to facilitate rapid localized absorption and replacement with autologous bone. In this review, we introduce the types, features, and performance characteristics of biodegradable polymer scaffolds in their role as DDS for bone regeneration therapy.

Abstract
Large bone defect repair is a difficult problem to be solved urgently in orthopaedic field, and the application of bone repair materials is a feasible method to solve this problem. Therefore, bone repair materials have been continuously developed, and have evolved from autogenous bone grafts, allograft bone grafts, and inert materials to highly active and multifunctional bone tissue engineering scaffold materials. In this paper, the related mechanism of bone repair materials, the application of bone repair materials, and the exploration of new bone repair materials are introduced to present the research status and advance of the bone repair materials, and the development direction is also prospected.

Abstract
Surface properties of biomaterials, such as chemistry and morphology, have a major role in modulating cellular behavior and therefore impact on the development of high-performance devices for biomedical applications, such as scaffolds for tissue engineering and systems for drug delivery. Opportunely-designed micro- and nanostructures provides a unique way of controlling cell-biomaterial interaction. This mini-review discusses the current research on the use of electrospinning (extrusion of polymer nanofibers upon the application of an electric field) as effective technique to fabricate patterns of micro- and nano-scale resolution, and the corresponding biological studies. The focus is on the effect of morphological cues, including fiber alignment, porosity and surface roughness of electrospun mats, to direct cell migration and to influence cell adhesion, differentiation and proliferation. Experimental studies are combined with computational models that predict and correlate the surface composition of a biomaterial with the response of cells in contact with it. The use of predictive models can facilitate the rational design of new bio-interfaces.

Enhanced osteodifferentiation of MSC spheroids on patterned electrospun fiber mats - An advanced 3D double strategy for bone tissue regeneration. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2018; 94:703-712. [PMID: 30423757 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2018.10.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2018] [Revised: 07/30/2018] [Accepted: 10/04/2018] [Indexed: 01/29/2023]
Abstract
2D cell culture has been widely developed with various micropatterning and microfabrication techniques over the past few decades for creating and controlling cellular microenvironments including cell-matrix interactions, cell-cell interactions, and bio-mimicking the in-vivo tissue hierarchy and functions. However, the drawbacks of 2D culture have currently paved the way to 3D cell culture which is considered clinically and biologically more relevant. Here we report a 3D double strategy for osteodifferentiation of MSC spheroids on nano- and micro-patterned PLGA/Collagen/nHAp electrospun fiber mats. A comparison of cell alignment, proliferation and differentiation of 2D and 3D MSCs on patterned and non-patterned substrate was done. The study demonstrates the synergistic effect of geometric cues and 3D culture on differentiation of MSC spheroids into osteogenic lineage even in absence of osteoinduction medium.
