Abstract
Methods for promoting and controlling the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) in vitro before in vivo transplantation are crucial for the advancement of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we developed poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties, including elasticity and viscoelasticity, coupled with bioactivity achieved through the immobilization of a mixture of RGD and a mimetic peptide of the BMP-2 protein. Despite the key relevance of hydrogel mechanical properties for cell culture, a standard for its characterization has not been proposed, and comparisons between studies are challenging due to the different techniques employed. Here, a comprehensive approach was employed to characterize the elasticity and viscoelasticity of these hydrogels, integrating compression testing, rheology, and atomic force microscopy (AFM) microindentation. Distinct mechanical behaviors were observed across different PEGDA compositions, and some consistent trends across multiple techniques were identified. Using a photoactivated cross-linker, we controlled the functionalization density independently of the mechanical properties. X-ray photoelectrin spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy were employed to evaluate the functionalization density of the materials before the culturing of hMSCs on them. The cells cultured on all functionalized hydrogels expressed an early osteoblast marker (Runx2) after 2 weeks, even in the absence of a differentiation-inducing medium compared to our controls. Additionally, after only 1 week of culture with osteogenic differentiation medium, cells showed accelerated differentiation, with clear morphological differences observed among cells in the different conditions. Notably, cells on stiff but stress-relaxing hydrogels exhibited an overexpression of the osteocyte marker E11. This suggests that the combination of the functionalization procedure with the mechanical properties of the hydrogel provides a potent approach to promoting the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the stiffness and stress relaxation of poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) hydrogels on the osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Varying the amount of the crosslinker and the ratio between the monomers enabled the obtainment of hydrogels with controlled mechanical properties, as characterized using unconfined compression and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Subsequently, the surface of the hydrogels was functionalized with a mimetic peptide of the BMP-2 protein, in order to favor the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. Finally, hMSCs were cultured on the hydrogels with different stiffness and stress relaxation: 15 kPa - 15%, 60 kPa - 15%, 140 kPa - 15%, 100 kPa - 30%, and 140 kPa - 70%. The cells on hydrogels with stiffnesses from 60 kPa to 140 kPa presented a star-like shape, typical of osteocytes, which has only been reported by our group for two-dimensional substrates. Then, the extent of hMSC differentiation was evaluated by using immunofluorescence and by quantifying the expression of both osteoblast markers (Runx-2 and osteopontin) and osteocyte markers (E11, DMP1, and sclerostin). It was found that a stiffness of 60 kPa led to a higher expression of osteocyte markers as compared to stiffnesses of 15 and 140 kPa. Finally, the strongest expression of osteoblast and osteocyte differentiation markers was observed for the hydrogel with a high relaxation of 70% and a stiffness of 140 kPa.

Enzyme-Mediated Conjugation of Peptides to Silk Fibroin for Facile Hydrogel Functionalization. Ann Biomed Eng 2020; 48:1905-1915.

Abstract
Enzymatic crosslinking of tyrosine is a simple and modular method for adding functional peptides to silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels. Silk fibroin is a naturally derived polymer notable for its robust mechanical properties, biological compatibility, and versatility. Hydrogels fabricated from SF are elastic, optically clear, and have tunable moduli, however, they do not contain native biological epitopes for cell interactions. In this work we demonstrate the attachment of peptides to SF hydrogels through crosslinking of tyrosine with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The goal was to understand the utility of this approach and to study how the addition of peptides affects the SF material properties. SF hydrogels conjugated to model peptides with different molecular weights and hydrophobic properties were studied by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS) (bond formation), fluorescent imaging (spatial distribution), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) (protein secondary structure), and rheology (gelation time, modulus). As a proof of concept using a biologically relevant peptide, a peptide containing the cell binding domain Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) was conjugated to SF, and the density and morphology of primary human fibroblasts were assessed. This work demonstrates a facile method for adding peptides to silk fibroin that can be adopted for a variety of biomaterials applications.

Abstract
Natural vessel has three types of concentric cell layers that perform their specific functions. Here, the fabrication of vascular structure is reported by transfer printing of three different cell layers using thermosensitive hydrogels. Tetronic-tyramine and RGD peptide are co-crosslinked to prepare cell adhesive and thermosensitive hydrogels. The hydrogel increases its diameter by 1.26 times when the temperature reduces from 37 °C to 4 °C. At optimized seeding density, three types of cells form monolayers on the hydrogel, which is then transferred to the target surface within 3 min. Three monolayers are simultaneously transferred on one substrate with controlled shape and arrangement. The same approach is applied onto nanofiber scaffolds that are cultured for more than 5 d. Every type of monolayer shows proliferation and migration on nanofiber scaffolds, and the formation of robust cell-cell contact is revealed by CD31 staining in endothelial cell layer. A vascular structure with multicellular components is fabricated by transfer of three monolayers on nanofibers that are manually rolled with the diameter and length of the tube being approximately 3 mm and 12 mm, respectively. Collectively, it is concluded that the tissue transfer printing is a useful tool for constructing a vascular structure and mimicking natural structure of different types of tissues.

Abstract
Scaffolds play a crucial role in tissue engineering. Biodegradable polymers with great processing flexibility are the predominant scaffolding materials. Synthetic biodegradable polymers with well-defined structure and without immunological concerns associated with naturally derived polymers are widely used in tissue engineering. The synthetic biodegradable polymers that are widely used in tissue engineering, including polyesters, polyanhydrides, polyphosphazenes, polyurethane, and poly (glycerol sebacate) are summarized in this article. New developments in conducting polymers, photoresponsive polymers, amino-acid-based polymers, enzymatically degradable polymers, and peptide-activated polymers are also discussed. In addition to chemical functionalization, the scaffold designs that mimic the nano and micro features of the extracellular matrix (ECM) are presented as well, and composite and nanocomposite scaffolds are also reviewed.

Abstract
Degradable and cell-compatible hydrogels can be designed to mimic the physical and biochemical characteristics of native extracellular matrices and provide tunability of degradation rates and related properties under physiological conditions. Hence, such hydrogels are finding widespread application in many bioengineering fields, including controlled bioactive molecule delivery, cell encapsulation for controlled three-dimensional culture, and tissue engineering. Cellular processes, such as adhesion, proliferation, spreading, migration, and differentiation, can be controlled within degradable, cell-compatible hydrogels with temporal tuning of biochemical or biophysical cues, such as growth factor presentation or hydrogel stiffness. However, thoughtful selection of hydrogel base materials, formation chemistries, and degradable moieties is necessary to achieve the appropriate level of property control and desired cellular response. In this review, hydrogel design considerations and materials for hydrogel preparation, ranging from natural polymers to synthetic polymers, are overviewed. Recent advances in chemical and physical methods to crosslink hydrogels are highlighted, as well as recent developments in controlling hydrogel degradation rates and modes of degradation. Special attention is given to spatial or temporal presentation of various biochemical and biophysical cues to modulate cell response in static (i.e., non-degradable) or dynamic (i.e., degradable) microenvironments. This review provides insight into the design of new cell-compatible, degradable hydrogels to understand and modulate cellular processes for various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Synthetic substrates with defined chemical and structural characteristics may potentially be prepared to mimic the living ECM to regulate cell adhesion and growth. Hydrogels with cell-adhesive peptides (0.28 ± 0.03 nmol peptide cm(-2) , TTA-R-0.5; and 0.91 ± 0.12 nmol peptide cm(-2) , TTA-R-2.0) and/or micro-scaled topographical patterns (10, 25, and 80 µm grooves) are prepared using enzymatic polymerization. The adherent morphology and proliferation of C2C12 skeletal myoblasts and human aortic smooth muscle cells (hAoSM) on the hydrogels are studied. The newly developed hydrogels may be useful in investigating the roles of cell adhesion and substrate surface properties in the communication of adherent cells with the ECM.
