Abstract
Cationic polymers have recently attracted considerable interest as research breakthroughs for various industrial and biomedical applications. They are particularly interesting due to their highly positive charges, acceptable physicochemical properties, and ability to undergo further modifications, making them attractive candidates for biomedical applications. Polyethyleneimines (PEIs), as the most extensively utilized polymers, are one of the valuable and prominent classes of polycations. Owing to their flexible polymeric chains, broad molecular weight (MW) distribution, and repetitive structural units, their customization for functional composites is more feasible. The specific beneficial attributes of PEIs could be introduced by purposeful functionalization or modification, long service life, biocompatibility, and distinct geometry. Therefore, PEIs have significant potential in biotechnology, medicine, and bioscience. In this review, we present the advances in PEI-based nanomaterials, their transfection efficiency, and their toxicity over the past few years. Furthermore, the potential and suitability of PEIs for various applications are highlighted and discussed in detail. This review aims to inspire readers to investigate innovative approaches for the design and development of next-generation PEI-based nanomaterials possessing cutting-edge functionalities and appealing characteristics.

Abstract
3T3 Swiss albino mouse cells are often used in biotechnological applications. These cells can grow adherently on suitable surfaces. In our study, they were grown on different titanium substrates, comparing commercially available titanium sheets of grade 1 and grade 2, respectively, with Ti64 which was 3D printed with different porosity in order to identify potential substitutes for common well-plates, which could - in case of 3D printed substrates - be produced in various shapes and dimensions and thus broaden the range of substrates for cell growth in biotechnology and tissue engineering. In addition, thin layers of poly(acrylonitrile) (PAN) nanofibers were electrospun on these substrates to add a nanostructure. The common titanium sheets showed lower cell cover factors than common well plates, which could not be improved by the thin nanofibrous coating. However, the Ti sheets with nanofiber mat coatings showed higher cell adhesion and proliferation than pure PAN nanofiber mats. The 3D printed Ti64 substrates prepared by laser metal fusion, on the other hand, enabled significantly higher proliferation of (66 ± 8)% cover factor after three days of cell growth than well plates which are usually applied as the gold standard for cell cultivation ((48 ± 11)% cover factor under identical conditions). Especially the Ti64 samples with higher porosity showed high cell adhesion and proliferation. Our study suggests investigating such porous Ti64 samples further as a potential future optimum for cell adhesion and proliferation.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS), a leading cause of death worldwide, is a chronic inflammatory disease rich in lipids and reactive oxygen species (ROS) within plaques. Therefore, lowering lipid and ROS levels is effective in treating AS and reducing AS-induced mortality. In this study, an intelligent biomimetic drug delivery system that specifically responded to both shear stress and ROS microenvironment was developed, consisting of red blood cells (RBCs) and cross-linked polyethyleneimine nanoparticles (SA PEI) loaded with a lipid-lowering drug simvastatin acid (SA), and RBCs were self-assembled with SA PEI to obtain biresponsive SA PEI@RBCs for the treatment of AS. SA PEI could achieve sustained release of SA in response to ROS and reduce ROS and lipid levels to achieve the purpose of treating AS. Shear stress model experiments showed that SA PEI@RBCs could respond to the high shear stress level (100 dynes/cm2) at plaques, realizing the desorption and enrichment of SA PEI and improving the therapeutic efficiency of SA PEI@RBCs. In vitro and in vivo experiments have confirmed that SA PEI@RBCs exhibits better in vivo safety and therapeutic efficacy than SA PEI and free SA. Therefore, shaping SA PEI@RBCs into a biomimetic drug delivery system with dual sensitivity to ROS and shear stress is an effective strategy and treatment to facilitate their delivery into plaques.

Abstract
Electrospinning (ES) is one of the most investigated processes for the convenient, adaptive, and scalable manufacturing of nano/micro/macro-fibers. With this technique, virgin and composite fibers may be made in different designs using a wide range of polymers (both natural and synthetic). Electrospun protein fibers (EPF) shave desirable capabilities such as biocompatibility, low toxicity, degradability, and solvolysis. However, issues with the proteins' processibility have limited their widespread utilization. This paper gives an overview of the features of protein-based biomaterials, which are already being employed and has the potential to be exploited for ES. State-of-the-art examples showcasing the usefulness of EPFs in the food and biomedical industries, including tissue engineering, wound dressings, and drug delivery, provided in the applications. The EPFs' future perspective and the challenge they pose are presented at the end. It is believed that protein and biopolymeric nanofibers will soon be manufactured on an industrial scale owing to the limitations of employing synthetic materials, as well as enormous potential of nanofibers in other fields, such as active food packaging, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, cosmetic, and filtration.

Silk protein/polyvinylpyrrolidone nanofiber membranes loaded with puerarin accelerate wound healing in mice by reducing the inflammatory response. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 135:212734. [PMID: 35929209 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.212734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2021] [Revised: 02/19/2022] [Accepted: 02/21/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In modern clinical applications, wound healing remains a considerable challenge. Excessive inflammatory response is associated with delayed wound healing. In this study, we prepared composite nanofibrous membranes by mixing the Chinese herbal extract puerarin (PUE) with natural silk protein (SF) and synthetic polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) using electrostatic spinning technique, and conducted a series of studies on the structural and biological properties of the fibrous membranes. The results showed that the loading of PUE increased the diameter, porosity and hydrophilicity of nanofibers, which were more favorable for cell adhesion and proliferation. ABTS radical scavenging assay also showed that the loading of PUE enhanced the antioxidant properties of the fibrous membranes. In addition, SF/PVP/PUE nanofibers are non-toxic and can be used as wound dressings. In vitro experiments showed that SF/PVP/PUE nanofibers could effectively alleviate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in Immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT) cells and down-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in cells. In vivo studies further showed that the SF/PVP/PUE nanofibers could effectively accelerate wound repair. The mechanism is that SF/PVP/PUE nanofibers can inhibit the activation and transduction of toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathways, thereby reducing the inflammatory response and achieving wound healing.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing using biocompatible materials is a novel technology having a great potential for fabricating precise 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering. Alginate hydrogel undergoes unstable swelling and degradation properties as well as suffers from poor cell adhesion due to the lack of cell binding domains. These limit its applications in tissue engineering. In this study, 3D-printed alginate scaffolds were coated by branch polyethylenimine (PEI) to overcome the limitation of alginate because the branch PEI is a cationic polymer with a large number of active N-H groups. The results indicated that surface modification of 3D-printed alginate scaffolds using an appropriate concentration of PEI potentially promoted the fibroblast cells functions in 3D-printed alginate scaffolds, increased cell adhesion, cell proliferation and cell spreading through providing a large amount of N-H groups and increasing hydrophilicity of the surface. The degradation rate of alginate was degraded by interaction between N-H groups in PEI and -COO- groups in alginate structure and followed by the formation strong barrier layer in the interface of alginate and PEI. Therefore, ALG-PEI scaffolds can be a good candidate for tissue engineering and wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process which requires appropriate structural support for restoration of tissue continuity and function. Collagen can act as a template for cellular activities but poor physico-chemical properties necessitates the stabilization of collagen without impairing its structure and function. This study investigates the effect of magnesium ascorbyl phosphate (MAP) on collagen with reference to physico-chemical properties. Incorporation of MAP enhanced the rate of collagen fibrillation signifying increased interaction at reduced time interval. MAP did not induce any changes in the secondary structure of collagen while there was an increase in shear viscosity with increase in shear stress at different shear rate. MAP stabilized collagen film exhibited higher denaturation temperature and showed an increase in Young's Modulus when compared with that of collagen film. In vivo studies showed complete wound closure on day 16 in case of stabilized collagen film. Mechanical properties of healed skin revealed that MAP collagen film treated rat skin completely regained its properties similar to that of normal skin thereby making them a potential candidate for wound healing application.

Abstract
In recent years, the engineering of biomimetic cellular microenvironments has emerged as a top priority for regenerative medicine, being the in vitro recreation of the arcade-like cartilaginous tissue one of the most critical challenges due to the notorious absence of cost- and time-efficient microfabrication techniques capable of building 3D fibrous scaffolds with precise anisotropic properties. Taking this into account, we suggest a feasible and accurate methodology that uses a sequential adaptation of an electrospinning-electrospraying set up to construct a hierarchical system comprising both polycaprolactone (PCL) fibres and polyethylene glycol sacrificial microparticles. After porogen leaching, the bi-layered PCL scaffold was capable of presenting not only a depth-dependent fibre orientation similar to natural cartilage, but also mechanical features and porosity proficient to encourage an enhanced cell response. In fact, cell viability studies confirmed the biocompatibility of the scaffold and its ability to guarantee suitable cell adhesion, proliferation and migration throughout the 3D anisotropic fibrous network during 21 days of culture. Additionally, likewise the hierarchical relationship between chondrocytes and their extracellular matrix, the reported PCL scaffold was able to induce depth-dependent cell-material interactions responsible for promoting a spatial modulation of the morphology, alignment and density of the cells in vitro.
