Abstract
The efficient removal of lead ions at low concentrations is paramount in combating the significant threat posed by water pollution resulting from industrial activities and population growth. In this study, electrospun C. barbata/PAN fibers were developed to efficiently remove lead(II) ions from water. The morphology, structure, and mechanical properties of the fibers were examined, highlighting that the augmentation of the surface area through the conversion of C. barbata into the polymer fibers facilitates increased metal bonding sites during sorption. C. barbata/PAN fibers exhibited superior characteristics, including higher surface area, smaller pore size, and increased pore volume, compared to powdered C. barbata. The effects of factors such as shaking time, algae percentage, sorbent amount, pH, metal concentration, and temperature on Pb(II) sorption were investigated by the batch method. At an initial ion concentration of 100 μg L-1 and pH 4.0, C. barbata (5 wt %)/PAN fiber demonstrated a notable sorption efficiency of 89-90% (270 μg/g) after 60 min. The equilibrium data align with the Freundlich and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models, whereas the pseudo-second-order kinetic model provides the most suitable description. The characterization of fibers after sorption revealed that carboxyl, hydroxyl, and sulfonyl groups play an active role in Pb(II) sorption.

Abstract
Polysaccharides originating from marine sources have been studied as potential material for use in wound dressings because of their desirable characteristics of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Marine-derived polysaccharides used as wound dressing, provide several benefits such as promoting wound healing by providing a moist environment that facilitates cell migration and proliferation. They can also act as a barrier against external contaminants and provide a protective layer to prevent further damage to the wound. Research studies have shown that marine-derived polysaccharides can be used to develop different types of wound dressings such as hydrogels, films, and fibres. These dressings can be personalised to meet specific requirements based on the type and severity of the wound. For instance, hydrogels can be used for deep wounds to provide a moist environment, while films can be used for superficial wounds to provide a protective barrier. Additionally, these polysaccharides can be modified to improve their properties, such as enhancing their mechanical strength or increasing their ability to release bioactive molecules that can promote wound healing. Overall, marine-derived polysaccharides show great promise for developing effective and safe wound dressings for various wound types.

Abstract
There is an emphasis in this review on nanofibrous scaffolds (NFSs) in diabetic wound healing, as well as their mechanisms and recent advancements. Diabetes-related complex wounds pose an important problem to humanity, due to the fact that their chronic nature can lead to serious complications including sepsis and amputations. Despite the fact that there are certain therapy options available for diabetic wound healing, these options are either ineffective or intrusive, making clinical intervention difficult. Clinical research is also challenged by the emergence of bacterial resistance to standard antibiotics. However, research into nanotechnology, in particular NFSs, is growing swiftly and has a positive impact on the treatment of diabetic wounds. For instance, SpinCare™, developed by Nanomedic Technologies Ltd, has successfully finished clinical testing and can re-epithelialize second-degree burns and chronic diabetic wounds in 7 and 14 days, respectively. In this review, we discussed homologous studies as well as other recent research studies on diabetic wound healing using NFSs.

It possesses various bioactivities, which allowing them to be processed into various forms of wound dressings. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the application of marine polysaccharides in wound dressings is particularly important for the studies of wound therapy. In this review, we first introduce the wound healing process and describe the characteristics of modern commonly used dressings. Then, the properties of various marine polysaccharides and their application in wound dressing development are outlined. Finally, strategies for developing and enhancing marine polysaccharide wound dressings are described, and an outlook of these dressings is given. The diverse bioactivities of marine polysaccharides including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic properties, etc., providing excellent wound management and accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, these biomaterials have higher biocompatibility and biodegradability compared to synthetic ones. On the other hand, marine polysaccharides can be combined with copolymers and active substances to prepare various forms of dressings. Among them, emerging types of dressings such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels and injectable hydrogels are at the research frontier of their development. Therefore, marine polysaccharides are essential materials in wound dressings fabrication and have a promising future.

Abstract
Since polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds have been widely used in tissue regeneration, the risk of bacterial infections should not be neglected. In the present work, poly-caprolactone-silk fibroin-soluble eggshell membrane-silver nanoparticles (PCL-SF-SESM-AgNPs) and caprolactone-silk fibroin-soluble eggshell membrane-chitosan (PCL-SF-SESM-CS) scaffolds were fabricated via the electrospinning method for cutaneous regeneration. The composition, morphology, hydrophilicity, and mechanical features of prepared scaffolds were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), tensile, and water contact angle tests. The existence of AgNPs in PCL/SF/SESM/AgNPs nanofibers was confirmed by UV-visible, Transmission electron microscopes (TEM), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns. Besides, cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation process of cutaneous progenitor cells, namely basal cell carcinoma (BCCs), toward keratinocyte-like cells were evaluated using MTT analysis, DAPI, Immunofluorescence imaging (IF), and Real-Time Quantitative Reverse Transcription PCR (QRT-PCR) assay. The results indicated that prepared nanofibrous mats are appropriate candidates for cutaneous regeneration and in advanced in vivo applications could be used. Lastly, the antimicrobial potential of prepared nanofibers against microorganisms such as E. coli, S. aureus, and C. Albicans was analyzed using the disc diffusion method. Results revealed that chitosan-containing nanofibrous scaffolds indicate inhibition against S. aureus, but PCL-SF-SESM as control group not. In addition, against C. albicans any antifungal activity was not observed.

Abstract
For the first time, a biohybrid nanofibrous wound dressing is developed via green electrospinning of a blend solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (1 and 3 wt%) and polycaprolactone (PCL). In such a system, the components are miscible and interact through hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl group of PCL and the amine group of BSA, as verified by ATR-FTIR. As a result, the biohybrid nanofibers show a superior elastic modulus and elongation (300% and 58%, respectively) compared with the neat PCL nanofibers. The included protein induces a hydrophilicity effect to the PCL nanofibers, notably at the higher BSA content (3 wt%). In contrast to the neat nanofibers, the biohybrid ones are bioactive and encourage formation of biominerals (made of amorphous calcium carbonate) on the surface, after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). Based on the WST-8 cell viability tests, NIH3T3 fibroblast cells were seen to properly interact with the biohybrid mats and to proliferate in their proximity. SEM images show that the cells largely adhere onto such nanofibers even more than they do on the neat ones and adopt a flattened and stretched shape. In addition, the live/dead assay and phalloidin/DAPI staining assay confirm large cell viability and normal cell morphology on the biohybrid nanofiber mats after 4 days incubation. Taken together, BSA/PCL nanofibers are able to offer optimum mechanical properties (elasticity) as well as mineralization which can potentially stimulate the wound healing process, and can be considered a suitable candidate for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Spirulina stands out as a sustainable bioactive microalga with health-promoting properties, and an important active ingredient of natural cosmetics products. Currently, Spirulina has been incorporated in topical skin-care formulations, such as a moisturizing, antiwrinkles, antiaging and antiacne agent. Furthermore, this microalga is used by cosmetic formulators to promote healthy sunscreen protection, to treat skin pigmentation disorders and to heal wounds. Most of commercial cosmetics claim a large range of Spirulina properties, including antioxidant, revitalizing, remineralizing, moisturizing, protecting alongside cleansing and shining action, both for hair and for skin. In this review, recent cosmetic applications of Spirulina are revised, by highlighting its ability in improving skin appearance and health. Additionally, the analysis of the Spirulina cosmetic benchmark is discussed. Looking at the current emergence of the beauty industry, many Spirulina extracts and dry powder/flakes, both the starting ingredient and final Spirulina-based cosmetic products, are available on the market. In this industrial field, Spirulina—mainly Spirulina platensis and Spirulina maxima—is used either as a powder, like in the case of cheaper products, or as a phycocyanin-rich blue extract, particularly in the luxury market. It is likely that, in the coming years, diversity, quality and topical applications of Spirulina will rapidly increase.

Abstract
Amphiphilic copolymers of alkyne functionalized 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (AlHEMA) and poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (MPEGMA) with graft or V-shaped graft topologies were synthesized. The functionalization of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with azide group enabled attachment to P(AlHEMA-co-MPEGMA) copolymers via a "click" alkyne-azide reaction. The introduction of PCL as a second side chain type in addition to PEG resulted in heterografted copolymers with modified properties such as biodegradability. "Click" reactions were carried out with efficiencies between 17-70% or 32-50% (for lower molecular weight PCL, 4000 g/mol, or higher molecular weight PCL, 9000 g/mol, respectively) depending on the PEG grafting density. The graft copolymers were self-assembled into micellar superstructures with the ability to encapsulate active substances, such as vitamin C (VitC), arbutin (ARB) or 4-n-butylresorcinol (4nBRE). Drug loading contents (DLC) were obtained in the range of 5-55% (VitC), 39-91% (ARB) and 42-98% (4nBRE). In vitro studies carried out in a phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution (at pH 7.4 or 5.5) gave the maximum release levels of active substances after 10-240 min depending on the polymer system. Permeation tests in Franz chambers indicated that the bioactive substances after release by micellar systems penetrated through the artificial skin membrane in small amounts, and a majority of the bioactive substances remained inside the membrane, which is satisfactory for most cosmetic applications.

Abstract
Nanofibers are a type of nanostructures, which due to their unique properties can be used in wound dressing, and electrospinning is a good way to produce them. The benefits of wound dressings made of electrospun nanofibers include a large surface area to volume ratio, high absorption of secretions from the wound, and high air permeability, mimicking the morphology of extracellular matrix (ECM) of the damaged tissue and the possibility of the gradual release of the drug agents loaded on nanofibers. Because of the adaptability of plants to the body, low side effects and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance, interest in using plants is increasing. Combining nanofibers with plants is a way to integrate the physical properties of the structure of nanofibers and the chemical and antibacterial properties of the plants. In recent years, many plants in the forms of extracts, essential oils, and pure active ingredients have been used in the electrospininng and production of nanofiber-containing plants; some of the plants may be a good choice for wound dressings made of electrospun nanofibers.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers are known as the advanced means for wound dressing. They have represented remarkable potency to encapsulate and deliver biomolecules promoting the wound healing process. Compared to synthetic polymers, naturally derived polymers (NDP) are more qualified candidates for fabrication of biomedical electrospun scaffolds. Not only nanofibers of NDP illustrate higher biocompatibility and biodegradability rates, but also they mimic the native extracellular matrix more closely, which leads to the wound closure acceleration by enhancing tissue regeneration. Aside, incorporation of bioactive molecules and therapeutic agents into the nanofibers can generate innovative bioactive wound dressings with significantly improved healing potentials. This paper starts with a brief discussion on the steps and factors influencing the wound healing process. Then, the recent applications of electrospun nanofibers as wound dressing with healing accelerating properties are reviewed. Further, the various healing agents and alternative strategies for modification and functionalization of bioactive naturally-derived electrospun nanofibers are discussed.

Abstract
Myelination by oligodendrocytes (OLs) is a key developmental milestone in terms of the functions of the central nervous system (CNS). Demyelination caused by defects in OLs is a hallmark of several CNS disorders. Although a potential therapeutic strategy involves treatment with the myelin-forming cells, there is no readily available source of these cells. OLs can be differentiated from pluripotent stem cells; however, there is a lack of efficient culture systems that generate functional OLs. Here, we demonstrate biomimetic approaches to promote OL differentiation from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and to enhance the maturation and myelination capabilities of iPSC-derived OL (iPSC-OL). Functionalization of culture substrates using the brain extracellular matrix (BEM) derived from decellularized human brain tissue enhanced the differentiation of iPSCs into myelin-expressing OLs. Co-culture of iPSC-OL with induced neuronal (iN) cells on BEM substrates, which closely mimics the in vivo brain microenvironment for myelinated neurons, not only enhanced myelination of iPSC-OL but also improved electrophysiological function of iN cells. BEM-functionalized aligned electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds further promoted the maturation of iPSC-OLs, enhanced the production of myelin sheath-like structures by the iPSC-OL, and enhanced the neurogenesis of iN cells. Thus, the biomimetic strategy presented here can generate functional OLs from stem cells and facilitate myelination by providing brain-specific biochemical, biophysical, and structural signals. Our system comprising stem cells and brain tissue from human sources could help in the establishment of human demyelination disease models and the development of regenerative cell therapy for myelin disorders.
