Molecules 2023; 28:6692. [PMID: 37764467 PMCID: PMC10534451 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28186692] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
To enhance the mechanical strength and cell adhesion of alginate hydrogel, making it satisfy the requirements of an ideal tissue engineering scaffold, the grafting of Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) polypeptide sequence onto the alginate molecular chain was conducted by oxidation of sodium periodate and subsequent reduction amination of 2-methylpyridine borane complex (2-PBC) to synthesize alginate dialdehyde grafted RGD derivatives (ADA-RGD) with good cellular affinity. The interpenetrating network (IPN) composite hydrogels of alginate/polyvinyl alcohol/cellulose nanocrystals (ALG/PVA/CNCs) were fabricated through a physical mixture of ion cross-linking of sodium alginate (SA) with hydroxyapatite/D-glucono-δ-lactone (HAP/GDL), and physical cross-linking of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by a freezing/thawing method, using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as the reinforcement agent. The effects of the addition of CNCs and different contents of PVA on the morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, swelling, biodegradability, and cell compatibility of the IPN composite hydrogels were investigated, and the effect of RGD grafting on the biological properties of the IPN composite hydrogels was also studied. The resultant IPN ALG/PVA/CNCs composite hydrogels exhibited good pore structure and regular 3D morphology, whose pore size and porosity could be regulated by adjusting PVA content and the addition of CNCs. By increasing the PVA content, the number of physical cross-linking points in PVA increased, resulting in greater stress support for the IPN composite hydrogels of ALG/PVA/CNCs and consequently improving their mechanical characteristics. The creation of the IPN ALG/PVA/CNCs composite hydrogels' physical cross-linking network through intramolecular or intermolecular hydrogen bonding led to improved thermal resistance and reduced swelling and biodegradation rate. Conversely, the ADA-RGD/PVA/CNCs IPN composite hydrogels exhibited a quicker degradation rate, attributed to the elimination of ADA-RGD by alkali. The results of the in vitro cytocompatibility showed that ALG/0.5PVA/0.3%CNCs and ADA-RGD/PVA/0.3%CNCs composite hydrogels showed better proliferative activity in comparison with other composite hydrogels, while ALG/PVA/0.3%CNCs and ADA-RGD/PVA/0.3%CNCs composite hydrogels displayed obvious proliferation effects, indicating that PVA, CNCs, and ADA-RGD with good biocompatibility were conducive to cell proliferation and differentiation for the IPN composite hydrogels.

[PMID: 37343505 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2023.113413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/23/2023]
Abstract
Alginate (Alg) hydrogels possess desirable advantages for application in tissue engineering; however, they are limited by their weak mechanical properties, poor chronical stability in phosphate buffered saline, and absence of mammalian cell recognition sites, severely restricting their biomedical applications. To overcome these limitations, we integrated Alg hydrogels with nano-silica (SiO2) to produce nano-SiO2 reinforced Alg-chitosan-gelatin nanocomposite hydrogels (Alg/SiO2-CHI-GA NCH) for biomedical purposes, utilizing Chitosan (CHI) and gelatin (GA) in an alternate electrostatic adsorption. Specifically, we investigated the regulatory and promotional effects of the nano-SiO2 on the morphological structure, mechanical properties, thermal stability, rheological properties, swelling, biodegradability, biomineralization and cytocompatibility of the resultant Alg/SiO2-CHI-GA NCH. The experimental findings demonstrate that the constructed Alg/SiO2-CHI-GA NCH exhibited uniform morphology and a regular structure. Upon freeze-drying, the internal cross-sections of the NCH exhibited a honeycomb porous structure. Furthermore, the physicochemical properties and biological activities of the prepared Alg/SiO2-CHI-GA NCH were regulated to some extent by nano-SiO2 content. Notably, nano-SiO2 inclusion enhanced the attachment and viability of MG63 and MC3T3-E1 cells and induced three-dimensional cell growth in ALG/SiO2-CHI-GA NCH. Among the fabricated NCH, Alg/SiO2-CHI-GA NCH with 0.5% and 1.0% (w/v) nano-SiO2 exhibited significant proliferative activity, which is attributable to their high porosity and uniform cell adhesion. Furthermore, the alkaline phosphatase activity in the cells gradually increased with increasing of nano-SiO2 amount, indicating the favorable effect of nano-SiO2 on the osteogenic differentiation of MG63 and MC3T3-E1 cells. Our study findings provide a comprehensive foundation for the structural- and property-related limitations of Alg hydrogels in biomedicine, thereby expanding their potential applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Urethral reconstruction strategies are limited with many associated drawbacks. In this context, the main challenge is the unavailability of a suitable tissue that can endure urine exposure. However, most of the used tissues in clinical practices are non-specialized grafts that finally fail to prevent urine leakage. Tissue engineering has offered novel solutions to address this dilemma. In this technology, scaffolding biomaterials characteristics are of prime importance. Biological macromolecules are naturally derived polymers that have been extensively studied for various tissue engineering applications. This review discusses the recent advances, applications, and challenges of biological macromolecule-based scaffolds in urethral reconstruction.

Comparative Study of Physicochemical Properties of Alginate Composite Hydrogels Prepared by the Physical Blending and Electrostatic Assembly Methods. Gels 2022; 8:gels8120799. [PMID: 36547323 PMCID: PMC9777933 DOI: 10.3390/gels8120799] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 11/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Alginate hydrogel commonly suffers from defects, such as weak mechanical properties, the shortage of long-term stability in physiological medium and the lack of mammalian cell adhesivity due to its strong hydrophilicity in biomedical application. For this reason, the homogeneous alginate hydrogels (Alg Gel) were successfully prepared by the D-glucono-δ-lactone/hydroxyapatite (HAP/GDL) cross-linking system, and then, the physical blending and alternating electrostatic assembly technology were proposed to fabricate alginate composite hydrogels (Alg-GT, Alg-CS-GT and ALG/GT-CS). The feasibility of the design methods was verified through the comparative analysis of their physicochemical properties and biological activity. In particular, the effects of physical blending and alternating electrostatic assembly technology on the pore structure, mechanical properties, swelling, degradation, cell adhesion and proliferation of composite hydrogels were also investigated. Experimental results showed that the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes by electrostatic assembly between biological macromolecules and the covalent cross-linking of EDC/NHS to GT improved the vulnerability of ion cross-linking, enhanced the mechanical properties and swelling stability of the composite hydrogels, and regulated their pore structure and in vitro biodegradability properties. Furthermore, MC3T3-E1 cells could exhibit good cell adhesion, cell viability and cell proliferation on the alginate composite hydrogels. Among them, Alg-CS-GT showed the best cell proliferation ability and differentiation effect due to its good cell adhesion. In view of the excellent physicochemical properties and biological activity of Alg-CS-GT, it exhibited great potential in biomedical application for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nerve injuries and neurodegenerative disorders are very serious and costly medical challenges. Damaged nerve tissue may not be able to heal and regain its function, and scar tissue may restrict nerve cell regeneration. In recent years, new electroactive biomaterials have attracted widespread attention in the neural tissue engineering field. Bacterial cellulose (BC) due to its unique properties such as good mechanical properties, high water retention, biocompatibility, high crystallinity, large surface area, high purity, very fine network, and inability to absorb in the human body due to cellulase deficiency, can be considered a promising treatment for neurological injuries and disorders that require long-term support. However, BC lacks electrical activity, but can significantly improve the nerve regeneration rate by combining with conductive structures. Electrical stimulation has been shown to be an effective means of increasing the rate and accuracy of nerve regeneration. Many factors, such as the intensity and pattern of electrical current, have positive effects on cellular activity, including cell adhesion, proliferation, migration and differentiation, and cell-cell/tissue/molecule/drug interaction. This study discusses the importance and essential role of BC-based biomaterials in neural tissue regeneration and the effects of electrical stimulation on cellular behaviors.

Abstract
To imitate the composition of natural bone and further improve the biological property of the materials, ZnO/hydroxyapatite/chitosan-polyethylene oxide@gelatin (ZnO/HAP/CS-PEO@GEL) composite scaffolds were developed. The core-shell structured chitosan-polyethylene oxide@gelatin (CS-PEO@GEL) nanofibers which could form the intramolecular hydrogen bond and achieve an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) polymer were first prepared by coaxial electrospinning to mimic the extracellular matrix. To further enhance biological activity, hydroxyapatite (HAP) was grown on the surface of the CS-PEO@GEL nanofibers using chemical deposition and ZnO particles were then evenly distributed on the surface of the above composite materials using RF magnetron sputtering. The SEM results showed that chemical deposition and magnetron sputtering did not destroy the three-dimensional architecture of materials, which was beneficial to cell growth. The cell compatibility and proliferation of MG-63 cells on ZnO/HAP/CS-PEO@GEL composite scaffolds were superior to those on CS-PEO@GEL and HAP/CS-PEO@GEL composite scaffolds. An appropriate amount of ZnO sputtering could promote the adhesion of cells on the composite nanofibers. The structure of bone tissue could be better simulated both in composition and in the microenvironment, which provided a suitable environment for cell growth and promoted the proliferation of MG-63 cells. The biomimetic ZnO/HAP/CS-PEO@GEL composite scaffolds were promising materials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are considered the leading cause of death in the world, accounting for approximately 85% of sudden death cases. In dogs and cats, sudden cardiac death occurs commonly, despite the scarcity of available pathophysiological and prevalence data. Conventional treatments are not able to treat injured myocardium. Despite advances in cardiac therapy in recent decades, transplantation remains the gold standard treatment for most heart diseases in humans. In veterinary medicine, therapy seeks to control clinical signs, delay the evolution of the disease and provide a better quality of life, although transplantation is the ideal treatment. Both human and veterinary medicine face major challenges regarding the transplantation process, although each area presents different realities. In this context, it is necessary to search for alternative methods that overcome the recovery deficiency of injured myocardial tissue. Application of biomaterials is one of the most innovative treatments for heart regeneration, involving the use of hydrogels from decellularized extracellular matrix, and their association with nanomaterials, such as alginate, chitosan, hyaluronic acid and gelatin. A promising material is bacterial cellulose hydrogel, due to its nanostructure and morphology being similar to collagen. Cellulose provides support and immobilization of cells, which can result in better cell adhesion, growth and proliferation, making it a safe and innovative material for cardiovascular repair.

Abstract
Nanocomplexes systems made up natural poylymers have pharmacotechnical advantages such as increase of water solubility and a decrease of drugs toxicity. Amphotericin B (AmB) is a drug apply as anti-leishmanial and anti-fungal, however it has low water solubility and high toxicity, limiting its therapeutic application. With this in mind, the present study aimed to produce nanocomplexes composed by alginate (Alg), a natural polymer, with AmB covered by nanocrystals from bacterial cellulose (CNC). For this reason, the nanocomplexes were produced utilizing sodium alginate, amphotericin B in a borate buffer (pH 11.0). The CNC was obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of the bacterial cellulose. To CNC cover the nanocomplexes 1 ml of the nanocomplexes was added into 1 ml of 0.01% CNC suspension. The results showed an ionic adsorption of the CNC into the Alg-AmB nanocomplexes surface. This phenomena was confirmed by an increase in the particle size and PDI decrease. Besides, nanocomplexes samples covered by CNC showed uniformity. The amorphous inclusion of AmB complex into the polysaccharide chain network in both formulations. AmB in the nanocomplexes was in supper-aggregated form and showed good biocompatibility, being significantly less cytotoxic in vitro against kidney cells and significantly less hemolytic compared to the free-drug. The in vitro toxicity results indicated the Alg-AmB nanocomplexes can be considered a non-toxic alternative to improve the AmB therapeutic effect. All process to obtain nanocomplexes and it coat was conduce without organic solvents, can be considered a green process, and allowed to obtain water soluble particles. Furthermore, CNC covering the nanocomplexes brought additional protection to the system can contribut advancement in the pharmaceutical.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an important polysaccharide synthesized by some bacterial species under specific culture conditions, which presents several remarkable features such as microporosity, high water holding capacity, good mechanical properties and good biocompatibility, making it a potential biomaterial for medical applications. Since its discovery, BC has been used for wound dressing, drug delivery, artificial blood vessels, bone tissue engineering, and so forth. Additionally, BC can be simply manipulated to form its derivatives or composites with enhanced physicochemical and functional properties. Several polymers, carbon-based nanomaterials, and metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been introduced into BC by ex situ and in situ methods to design hybrid materials with enhanced functional properties. This review provides comprehensive knowledge and highlights recent advances in BC production strategies, its structural features, various in situ and ex situ modification techniques, and its potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
This research aimed to design innovative therapeutic bio-composites that enhance odontogenic and osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (h-DPSCs) in-vitro regeneration. Herein, we report the fabrication of scaffolds containing chitosan, Ca-SAPO-34 monometallic and/or Fe-Ca-SAPO-34 bimetallic nanoparticles by freeze-drying technique. The scaffolds and nanoparticles were characterized using ICP-AES, FT-IR, XRD, TGA, TEM, BET, SEM, and EDS methods. The effects of SAPO-34 and nanoparticles were investigated by changes on the physicochemical properties of scaffolds including swelling ratio, density, porosity, bio-degradation, mechanical behavior, and biomineralization. Cell viability, cell adhesion and cytotoxicity of Ca-SAPO-34/CS and Fe-Ca-SAPO-34 scaffolds were investigated by MTT assay and SEM on h-DPSCs which revealed cell proliferation no toxicity on scaffolds. Cell tests demonstrated that Ca-SAPO-34/CS scaffold clearly displayed a positive effect on differentiation of hDPSCs into osteogenic/odontogenic cells and moderate effect on cell proliferation. Moreover, the incorporation of Fe2O3 to Ca-SAPO-34/CS scaffold promoted the proliferation of hDPSCs and osteogenic differentiation. Alizarin red, Alkaline phosphatase and QRT-PCR results showed that Fe-Ca-loaded SAPO-34/CS can lead to osteoblast/odontoblast differentiation in DPSCs through the up-regulation of related genes, thus indicating that Fe-Ca-SAPO-34/CS has remarkable prospects as a biomaterial for hard tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NCs), with their remarkable characteristics, have proven to be one of the most promising "green" materials of our times and have received special attention from researchers in nanomaterials. A diversity of new functional materials with a wide range of biomedical applications has been designed based on the most desirable properties of NCs, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their special physicochemical properties. In this context and under the pressure of rapid development of this field, it is imperative to synthesize the successes and the new requirements in a comprehensive review. The first part of this work provides a brief review of the characteristics of the NCs (cellulose nanocrystals-CNC, cellulose nanofibrils-CNF, and bacterial nanocellulose-BNC), as well as of the main functional materials based on NCs (hydrogels, nanogels, and nanocomposites). The second part presents an extensive review of research over the past five years on promising pharmaceutical and medical applications of nanocellulose-based materials, which have been discussed in three important areas: drug-delivery systems, materials for wound-healing applications, as well as tissue engineering. Finally, an in-depth assessment of the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of NCs-based materials, as well as the challenges related to their biodegradability, is performed.

Abstract
Cartilage is a connective tissue, which is made up of ~80% of water. It is alymphatic, aneural and avascular with only one type of cells present, chondrocytes. They constitute about 1-5% of the entire cartilage tissue. It has a very limited capacity for spontaneous repair. Articular cartilage defects are quite common due to trauma, injury or aging and these defects eventually lead to osteoarthritis, affecting the daily activities. Tissue engineering (TE) is a promising strategy for the regeneration of articular cartilage when compared to the existing invasive treatment strategies. Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer and has desirable properties for the development of a scaffold, which can be used for the regeneration of cartilage. This review discusses about (i) the basic science behind cartilage TE and the study of cellulose properties that can be exploited for the construction of the engineered scaffold with desired properties for cartilage tissue regeneration, (ii) about the requirement of scaffolds properties, fabrication mechanisms and assessment of cellulose based scaffolds, (iii) details about the modification of cellulose surface by employing various chemical approaches for the production of cellulose derivatives with enhanced characteristics and (iv) limitations and future research prospects of cartilage TE.

Abstract
Sodium alginate-bacterial cellulose (SA-BC) is a nanocomposite hydrogel with multi-layered porous surfaces fabricated using an in-situ biosynthesis modification method. The enzymatic hydrolysate (EH) of glycerol-pretreated Moso bamboo (MBEH) was the carbon source for glucose substitution to generate SA-bamboo-BC. SA, a natural biological polysaccharide, was combined with BC at dosages of 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1% through hydrogen bonding. Compared to the native BC, the addition of 0.75% SA, termed as SA-bamboo-BC-0.75, enhanced the thermal properties. The dynamic swelling/de-swelling were pH-dependent, with an increased swelling ratio (SR) of 613% observed at pH 7.4 but a lower SR of 366% observed at pH 1.2. These differences were attributable to the electrostatic repulsion of -COO-. Two protein-based model drugs were compared to estimate their drug-release properties. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was adsorbed on lignin from MBEH through hydrophobic interactions, resulting in poor drug release. Lysozyme (LYZ) exhibited a higher drug release rate (92.79%) over 60 h at pH 7.4 due to the static attraction between LYZ and -COO- of SA-bamboo-BC-0.75. As such, SA-bamboo-BC nanocomposite hydrogel was shown to possess sufficient swelling, drug-release and biocompatibility for substrate use.

Abstract
Developing materials for tissue engineering and studying the mechanisms of cell adhesion is a complex and multifactor process that needs analysis using physical chemistry and biology. The major challenge is the labor-intensive data mining as well as requirements of the number of advanced techniques. For example, hydrogel-based biomaterials with cell-binding sites, tunable mechanical properties, and complex architectures have emerged as a powerful tool to control cell adhesion and proliferation for tissue engineering. Composite hydrogels could be used for bone tissue regeneration, but they exhibit poor ossification properties. In current work, we have designed new osteoinductive gellan gum hydrogels by a thermal annealing approach and consequently functionalized them with Ca/Mg carbonate submicron particles. Determination of key parameters, which influence a successful hydroxyapatite generation, was done via the principal component analysis of 18 parameters (Young's modulus of the hydrogel and particles, particle size, and mass) and cell behavior at various time points (like viability, numbers of the cells, rate of alkaline phosphatase production, and cells area) obtained by characterizing such composite hydrogel. It is determined that the particles size and concentration of calcium ions have a dominant effect on the hydroxyapatite formation, because of providing local areas with a high Young's modulus in a hydrogel, a desirable property for cell adhesion. The detailed analysis presented here allows identifying hydrogels for cell growth applications, while on the other hand, material properties can be predicted, and their overall number can be minimized leading to efficient optimization of bone reconstruction and other cell growth applications.

Abstract
Formulation of multifunctional biopolymer-based scaffolds is one of the major focuses in modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Besides proper mechanical/chemical properties, an ideal scaffold should: (i) possess a well-tuned porous internal structure for cell seeding/growth and (ii) host bioactive molecules to be protected against biodegradation and presented to cells when required. Alginate hydrogels were extensively developed to serve as scaffolds, and recent advances in the hydrogel formulation demonstrate their applicability as "ideal" soft scaffolds. This review focuses on advanced porous alginate scaffolds (PAS) fabricated using hard templating on vaterite CaCO3 crystals. These novel tailor-made soft structures can be prepared at physiologically relevant conditions offering a high level of control over their internal structure and high performance for loading/release of bioactive macromolecules. The novel approach to assemble PAS is compared with traditional methods used for fabrication of porous alginate hydrogels. Finally, future perspectives and applications of PAS for advanced cell culture, tissue engineering, and drug testing are discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogels are hydrophilic cross-linked polymer networks formed via the simple reaction of one or more monomers with the ability to retain a significant extent of water. Owing to an increased demand for environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and biocompatible products, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with high hydrophilicity have emerged as a promising sustainable material for the formation of hydrogels. The cytocompatibility, swellability, and non-toxicity make CNC hydrogels of great interest in biomedical, biosensing, and wastewater treatment applications. There has been a considerable progress in the research of CNC hydrogels, as the number of scientific publications has exponentially increased (>600%) in the last five years. In this paper, recent progress in CNC hydrogels with particular emphasis on design, materials, and fabrication techniques to control hydrogel architecture, and advanced applications are discussed.

Abstract
The major challenge of tissue regeneration is to develop three dimensional scaffolds with suitable properties which would mimic the natural extracellular matrix to induce the adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation of cells. Several materials have been used for the preparation of the scaffolds for bone regeneration. In this study, novel ethyl cellulose-grafted-poly (ɛ-caprolactone) (EC-g-PCL)/alginate scaffolds with different contents of nano-hydroxyapatite were prepared by combining electrospinning and freeze-drying methods in order to provide nanofibrous/macroporous structures with good mechanical properties. For this aim, EC-g-PCL nanofibers were obtained with electrospinning, embedded layer-by-layer in alginate solutions containing nano-hydroxyapatite particles, and finally, these constructions were freeze-dried. The scaffolds possess highly porous structures with interconnected pore network. The swelling, porosity, and degradation characteristics of the EC-g-PCL/alginate scaffolds were decreased with the increase in nano-hydroxyapatite contents, whereas increases in the in-vitro biomineralization and mechanical strength were observed as the nano-hydroxyapatite content was increased. The cell response to EC-g-PCL/alginate scaffolds with/or without nano-hydroxyapatite was investigated using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). hDPSCs displayed a high adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation on nano-hydroxyapatite-incorporated EC-g-PCL/alginate scaffolds compared to pristine EC-g-PCL/alginate scaffold. Overall, these results suggested that the EC-g-PCL/alginate-HA scaffolds might have potential applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Chinese giant salamander (CGS) has high medicinal value and long history of clinical use in ancient China. In this study, CGS skin (CGSS) collagen was extracted and purified to prepare collagen sponge by freeze-drying. TEMPO oxidized microfibrillated cellulose (TEMPO-MFC) and genipin were adopted to improve the mechanical properties of collagen sponge. The hygroscopicity, porosity, mechanical properties, hemostatic performance, morphology, and biodegradability of the resultant sponges were investigated in detail. The results indicated that CGSS collagen was type I collagen with intact triple-helical structure, and the prepared sponge had porous structure and excellent hemostatic performance with procoagulant ratio of 53.28%. However, the CGSS collagen sponge showed low tensile strength (TS) of 98.80 KPa, compression strength (CS) of 1.48 KPa, and elongation at break (E) of 4.72%. Incorporating 2.5% TEMPO-MFC into the native CGSS collagen sponge resulted in an increase of 188.26% in TS to 284.80 KPa, 166.89% in CS to 3.95 KPa, and 73.52% in E to 8.19%. The improvements were attributed to the physical filling of TEMPO-MFC in cavity and cavity wall of collagen sponge and the stable chemical linkage between carboxyl of TEMPO-MFC and amino group of collagen which effectively improved the toughening of sponge and formed good interface bonding, respectively. Subsequent 0.3% genipin treatment further improved the TS to 605.00 KPa and the CS to 8.66 KPa as a result of crosslinking reaction. Moreover, the composite reinforcing also improved the anti-degradation ability and procoagulant ratio of collagen sponge. All results suggested that the TEMPO-MFC toughened and genipin crosslinked CGSS composite collagen sponge is a promising rapid hemostatic material with high-strength and can be applicated in biomedical field.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC)/acrylic acid (AA) hydrogel has successfully been investigated as a wound dressing for partial-thickness burn wound. It is also a promising biomaterial cell carrier because it bears some resemblance to the natural soft tissue. This study assessed its ability to deliver human epidermal keratinocytes (EK) and dermal fibroblasts (DF) for the treatment of full-thickness skin lesions. In vitro studies demonstrated that BC/AA hydrogel had excellent cell attachment, maintained cell viability with limited migration, and allowed cell transfer. In vivo wound closure, histological, immunohistochemistry, and transmission electron microscopy evaluation revealed that hydrogel alone (HA) and hydrogel with cells (HC) accelerated wound healing compared to the untreated controls. Gross appearance and Masson's trichrome staining indicated that HC was better than HA. This study suggests the potential application of BC/AA hydrogel with dual functions, as a cell carrier and wound dressing, to promote full-thickness wound healing.
