Abstract
Bone defects are among the most common damages in human medicine. Due to limitations and challenges in the area of bone healing, the research field has turned into a hot topic discipline with direct clinical outcomes. Among several available modalities, scaffold-free cell sheet technology has opened novel avenues to yield efficient osteogenesis. It is suggested that the intact matrix secreted from cells can provide a unique microenvironment for the acceleration of osteoangiogenesis. To the best of our knowledge, cell sheet technology (CST) has been investigated in terms of several skeletal defects with promising outcomes. Here, we highlighted some recent advances associated with the application of CST for the recovery of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) in various preclinical settings. The regenerative properties of both single-layer and multilayer CST were assessed regarding fabrication methods and applications. It has been indicated that different forms of cell sheets are available for CMF engineering like those used for other hard tissues. By tackling current challenges, CST is touted as an effective and alternative therapeutic option for CMF bone regeneration.

Abstract
There is an ever-growing need of human tissues and organs for transplantation. However, the availability of such tissues and organs is insufficient by a large margin, which is a huge medical and societal problem. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) represent potential solutions to this issue and have therefore been attracting increased interest from researchers and clinicians alike. But the successful large-scale clinical deployment of TERM products critically depends on the development of efficient preservation methodologies. The existing preservation approaches such as slow freezing, vitrification, dry state preservation, and hypothermic and normothermic storage all have issues that somehow limit the biomedical applications of TERM products. In this review, the principles and application of these approaches will be summarized, highlighting their advantages and limitations in the context of TERM products preservation.

Abstract
The rules governing Medicinal Products in the European Union necessitates the production of cell-based therapy in good manufacturing practice facilities. The produced cells may need several hours in transportation to reach the application sites. In this study, we investigated four candidate solutions for transporting human keratinocytes. The solutions are (1) normal saline, (2) saline with 2.5% human serum albumin (Saline + HSA), (3) chemically defined, xeno-free keratinocyte media and (4) keratinocyte media with pituitary bovine extract (PBE-media). One million keratinocytes from three donors were suspended in each solution and kept at 4 °C for up to 24 h. Cells kept in Saline + HSA showed higher viability after 1, 3 and 24 h. Then, equal number of viable cells were seeded on collagenous matrix and cultured for 48 h. The adhesion and colonization were higher in the cells kept in PBE-media, while the keratinocyte surface marker, cytokeratin 14, was present in all studied groups. These results confirmed the suitability of Saline + HSA as a cell transportation solution for clinical use, which will be the choice for the planned clinical trial. Keratinocyte PBE-media can be an alternative for cells transported for research purpose, if the same media type is going to be used in the following experiments.

Abstract
The ability to move cells and tissues from bench to bedside is an essential aspect of regenerative medicine. In this study, we propose a simple and static shipping system to deliver tissue-engineered cell sheets. Notably, this system is electronic-device-free and simplified to minimize the number of packing and opening steps involved. Shipping conditions were optimized, and application and verification of the system were performed using human iPS cell-derived or fetal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cell sheets. The temperature of the compartments within the insulated container was stable at various conditions, and filling up the cell vessel with medium effectively prevented turbulence-induced mechanical damage to the RPE cell sheets. Furthermore, no abnormal changes were observed in RPE morphology, transepithelial electrical resistance, or mRNA expression after transit by train and car. Taken together, our simple shipping system has the potential to minimize the costs and human error associated with bench to bedside tissue transfer. This specially designed regenerative tissue shipping system, validated for use in this field, can be used without any special training. This study provides a procedure for easily sharing engineered tissues with the goal of promoting collaboration between laboratories and hospitals and enhancing patient care.

Abstract
Osteogenic matrix cell sheets (OMCSs) are ideal for bone regeneration. Transportation of OMCSs may be necessary, during which their osteogenic ability must be maintained. Here, we evaluated different media and temperatures for OMCS preservation. Bone marrow stromal/stem cells (BMSCs) were obtained from Fischer rats and analyzed for stem cell markers by flow cytometry. OMCSs were prepared from BMSCs by treatment with dexamethasone and ascorbic acid phosphate. After OMCS collection, they were stored in minimum essential medium (MEM) or Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) at 37, 22, or 4°C for 24 hours. Cell viability and cytotoxic effects in the preservation conditions were determined by adenosine triphosphate (ATP) contents and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, respectively. Osteogenesis was assessed by subcutaneously implanting preserved OMCSs around β-tricalcium phosphate ceramic disks into syngeneic rats. Implants were evaluated by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, osteocalcin contents, and histology. Mesenchymal stem cells comprised 51% of primary cultured BMSCs. ATP contents were significantly different in OMCSs stored in MEM or HBSS at 22°C and 4°C. LDH release was significantly different in OMCSs stored in HBSS at 22°C and 4°C. The highest LDH release was observed in OMCSs stored in HBSS at 37°C. ALP activities and osteocalcin contents were the lowest in implanted OMCSs stored in HBSS at 37°C at four weeks after subcutaneous implantation. There was a significant difference in the osteocalcin levels of implanted OMCSs stored in MEM at 37°C and HBSS at 4°C. Abundant bone tissue around and inside disks was found in histological sections of OMCSs stored in all preservation conditions except for MEM and HBSS at 37°C. Maintaining the osteogenic ability of OMCSs during transport is important, and preservation of OMCSs in MEM or HBSS at 4°C or 22°C is a simple and inexpensive method.

Abstract
PURPOSE A transportation technique for cell sheets is necessary to standardize regenerative medicine. The aim of this article is to develop and evaluate a new transportation technique for cell sheets. MATERIAL AND METHODS We developed a transportation container with three basic functions: the maintenance of interior temperature, air pressure, and sterility. The interior temperature and air pressure were monitored by a recorder. Human oral mucosal epithelial cells obtained from two healthy volunteers were cultured on temperature-responsive culture dishes. The epithelial cell sheets were transported via an airplane between the Osaka University and Tohoku University using the developed cell transportation container. Histological and immunohistochemical analyses and flow cytometric analyses for cell viability and cell purity were performed for the cell sheets before and 12 h after transportation to assess the influence of transportation on the cell sheets. Sterility tests and screening for endotoxin and mycoplasma in the cell sheets were performed before and after transportation. RESULTS During transportation via an airplane, the temperature inside the container was maintained above 32°C, and the changes in air pressure remained within 10 hPa. The cell sheets were well stratified and successfully harvested before and after transportation. The expression patterns of keratin 3/76, p63, and MUC16 were equivalent before and after transportation. However, the expression of ZO-1 in the cell sheet after transportation was slightly weaker than that before transportation. The cell viability was 72.0% before transportation and 77.3% after transportation. The epithelial purity was 94.6% before transportation and 87.9% after transportation. Sterility tests and screening for endotoxin and mycoplasma were negative for all cell sheets. CONCLUSION The newly developed transportation technique for air travel is essential technology for regenerative medicine and promotes the standardization and spread of regenerative therapies.

Abstract
It has been shown that stem cell transplantation can regenerate periodontal tissue, and several clinical trials involving transplantation of stem cells into human patients have already begun or are in preparation. However, stem cell transplantation therapy is a new technology, and the events following transplantation are poorly understood. Several studies have reported side effects and potential risks associated with stem cell transplantation therapy. To protect patients from such risks, governments have placed regulations on stem cell transplantation therapies. It is important for the clinicians to understand the relevant risks and governmental regulations. This paper describes the ongoing clinical studies, basic research, risks, and governmental controls related to stem cell transplantation therapy. Then, one clinical study is introduced as an example of a government-approved periodontal cell transplantation therapy.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the construction and characteristics of thermoresponsive, thin nanostructured films prepared by layer-by-layer sequential assembly of chitosan-graft-NIPAAm and alginate. FTIR and (1)H NMR spectra have confirmed the introduction of NIPAAm moieties onto the chitosan backbone. The LCST of the synthesized copolymer was found to be around 31-33 °C. The formation of the polyelectrolyte multilayers containing the copolymer and alginate was followed in situ by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring technique and ex situ by UV-vis measurements. Our results revealed the linear increase of the multilayer film growth and the influence of the presence of salt. Moreover, AFM analysis has confirmed that PNIPAAm is able to reconform upon temperature swaps even when combined with other layers in a polyelectrolyte multilayer, demonstrating that the nanoassemblies are thermoresponsive. Preliminary results showed that, upon reducing culture temperature below PNIPAAm LCST, a gradual detachment of cell sheets from these PNIPAAm-based coatings has occurred.

Abstract
Correctly inducing the differentiation of pluripotent hESCs to a specific lineage with high purity is highly desirable for regenerative cell therapy. Our first effort to perform in vitro differentiation of hESCs resulted in a limited recapitulation of the ocular tissue structures. When undifferentiated hESCs were placed in vivo into the ocular tissue, in this case into the vitreous cavity, 3-dimensional retina-like structures reminiscent of the invagination of the optic vesicle were generated. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the presence of both a neural retina-like cell layer and a retinal pigmented epithelium-like cell layer, possibly equivalent to the developing E12.5 mouse retina. Furthermore, mouse epiblast-derived stem cells, which are reported to share some characteristics with hESCs, but not with mouse ESCs, also generated retinal anlage-like structures in vivo. hESC-derived retina-like structures present a novel therapeutic possibility for retinal diseases and also provide a novel experimental system to study early human eye development.
