Abstract
Although several bioinks have been developed for 3D bioprinting applications, the lack of optimal printability, mechanical properties, and adequate cell response has limited their practical applicability. Therefore, this work reports the development of a composite bioink consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA), alginate, and self-assembled nanofibrous polyelectrolyte complex aggregates of gelatin and chitosan (PEC-GC). The nanofibrous PEC-GC aggregates were prepared and incorporated into the bioink in varying concentrations (0 % to 3 %). The bioink samples were bioprinted and crosslinked post-printing by calcium chloride. The average nanofiber diameter of PEC-GC was 62 ± 15 nm. It was demonstrated that PEC-GC improves the printability and cellular adhesion of the developed bioink and modulates the swelling ratio, degradation rate, and mechanical properties of the fabricated scaffold. The in vitro results revealed that the bioink with 2 % PEC-GC had the best post-printing cell viability of the encapsulated MG63 osteosarcoma cells and well oragnized stress fibers, indicating enhanced cell adhesion. The cell viability was >90 %, as observed from the MTT assay. The composite bioink also showed osteogenic potential, as confirmed by the estimation of alkaline phosphatase activity and collagen synthesis assay. This study successfully fabricated a high-shape fidelity bioink with potential in bone tissue engineering.

Bovine serum albumin-modified 3D printed alginate dialdehyde-gelatin scaffolds incorporating polydopamine/SiO 2-CaO nanoparticles for bone regeneration. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 264:130666. [PMID: 38453119 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.130666] [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: 09/15/2023] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/09/2024]
Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing allows precise manufacturing of bone scaffolds for patient-specific applications and is one of the most recently developed and implemented technologies. In this study, bilayer and multimaterial alginate dialdehyde-gelatin (ADA-GEL) scaffolds incorporating polydopamine (PDA)/SiO2-CaO nanoparticle complexes were 3D printed using a pneumatic extrusion-based 3D printing technology and further modified on the surface with bovine serum albumin (BSA) for application in bone regeneration. The morphology, chemistry, and in vitro bioactivity of PDA/SiO2-CaO nanoparticle complexes were characterized (n = 3) and compared with those of mesoporous SiO2-CaO nanoparticles. Successful deposition of the PDA layer on the surface of the SiO2-CaO nanoparticles allowed better dispersion in a liquid medium and showed enhanced bioactivity. Rheological studies (n = 3) of ADA-GEL inks consisting of PDA/SiO2-CaO nanoparticle complexes showed results that may indicate better injectability and printability behavior compared to ADA-GEL inks incorporating unmodified nanoparticles. Microscopic observations of 3D printed scaffolds revealed that PDA/SiO2-CaO nanoparticle complexes introduced additional topography onto the surface of 3D printed scaffolds. Additionally, the modified scaffolds were mechanically stable and elastic, closely mimicking the properties of natural bone. Furthermore, protein-coated bilayer scaffolds displayed controllable absorption and biodegradation, enhanced bioactivity, MC3T3-E1 cell adhesion, proliferation, and higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity (n = 3) compared to unmodified scaffolds. Consequently, the present results confirm that ADA-GEL scaffolds incorporating PDA/SiO2-CaO nanoparticle complexes modified with BSA offer a promising approach for bone regeneration applications.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a fascinating field that combines biology, engineering, and medicine to create artificial tissues and organs. It involves using living cells, biomaterials, and bioengineering techniques to develop functional tissues that can be used to replace or repair damaged or diseased organs in the human body. The process typically starts by obtaining cells from the patient or a donor. These cells are then cultured and grown in a laboratory under controlled conditions. Scaffold materials, such as biodegradable polymers or natural extracellular matrices, are used to provide support and structure for the growing cells. 3D bone scaffolds are a fascinating application within the field of tissue engineering. These scaffolds are designed to mimic the structure and properties of natural bone tissue and serve as a temporary framework for new bone growth. The main purpose of a 3D bone scaffold is to provide mechanical support to the surrounding cells and guide their growth in a specific direction. It acts as a template, encouraging the formation of new bone tissue by providing a framework for cells to attach, proliferate, and differentiate. These scaffolds are typically fabricated using biocompatible materials like ceramics, polymers, or a combination of both. The choice of material depends on factors such as strength, biodegradability, and the ability to facilitate cell adhesion and growth. Advanced techniques like 3D printing have revolutionized the fabrication process of these scaffolds. Using precise layer-by-layer deposition, it allows for the creation of complex, patient-specific geometries, mimicking the intricacies of natural bone structure. This article offers a brief overview of the latest developments in the research and development of 3D printing techniques for creating scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bacterial infection represents a prevalent challenge during the bone repair process, often resulting in implant failure. However, the extensive use of antibiotics has limited local antibacterial effects at the infection site and is prone to side effects. In order to address the issue of bacterial infection during the transplantation of bone implants, four types of bone scaffold implants with long-term antimicrobial functionality have been constructed, including direct contact antimicrobial scaffold, dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold, photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold, and multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold. The direct contact antimicrobial scaffold involves the physical penetration or disruption of bacterial cell membranes by the scaffold surface or hindrance of bacterial adhesion through surface charge, microstructure, and other factors. The dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold releases antimicrobial substances from the scaffold's interior through degradation and other means to achieve local antimicrobial effects. The photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold utilizes the absorption of light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with enhanced chemical reactivity for antimicrobial activity. ROS can cause damage to bacterial cell membranes, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, and other components. The multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold involves the combined use of multiple antimicrobial methods to achieve synergistic effects and effectively overcome the limitations of individual antimicrobial approaches. Additionally, the biocompatibility issues of the antimicrobial bone scaffold are also discussed, including in vitro cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, as well as in vivo bone repair and vascularization. Finally, the challenges and prospects of antimicrobial bone implants are summarized. The development of antimicrobial bone implants can provide effective solutions to bacterial infection issues in bone defect repair in the foreseeable future.

Integration of polysaccharide electrospun nanofibers with microneedle arrays promotes wound regeneration: A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 258:128482. [PMID: 38042326 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128482] [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: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 11/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/04/2023]
Abstract
Utilizing electrospun nanofibers and microneedle arrays in wound regeneration has been practiced for several years. Researchers have recently asserted that using multiple methods concurrently might enhance efficiency, despite the inherent strengths and weaknesses of each individual approach. The combination of microneedle arrays with electrospun nanofibers has the potential to create a drug delivery system and wound healing method that offer improved efficiency and accuracy in targeting. The use of microneedles with nanofibers allows for precise administration of pharmaceuticals due to the microneedles' capacity to pierce the skin and the nanofibers' role as a drug reservoir, resulting in a progressive release of drugs over a certain period of time. Electrospun nanofibers have the ability to imitate the extracellular matrix and provide a framework for cellular growth and tissue rejuvenation, while microneedle arrays show potential for enhancing tissue regeneration and enhancing the efficacy of wound healing. The integration of electrospun nanofibers with microneedle arrays may be customized to effectively tackle particular obstacles in the fields of wound healing and drug delivery. However, some issues must be addressed before this paradigm may be fully integrated into clinical settings, including but not limited to ensuring the safety and sterilization of these products for transdermal use, optimizing manufacturing methods and characterization of developed products, larger-scale production, optimizing storage conditions, and evaluating the inclusion of multiple therapeutic and antimicrobial agents to increase the synergistic effects in the wound healing process. This research examines the combination of microneedle arrays with electrospun nanofibers to enhance the delivery of drugs and promote wound healing. It explores various kinds of microneedle arrays, the materials and processes used, and current developments in their integration with electrospun nanofibers.

Synergistic effect of CaCO 3 addition and in-process cold atmospheric plasma treatment on the surface evolution, mechanical properties, and in-vitro degradation behavior of FDM-printed PLA scaffolds. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 149:106239.

Abstract
The ease of processing and biocompatibility of polylactic acid (PLA) have made it a widely used material for fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based 3D printing. In spite of this, PLA suffers from some limitations for its extensive use in tissue engineering applications, including poor wettability, low degradation rate, and insufficient mechanical properties. To address the previously mentioned limitations, this study examined how combining in-process cold atmospheric plasma treatment with the inclusion of CaCO3 influences the properties of FDM-printed PLA scaffolds. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed that by incorporating CaCO3 micro-particles into the PLA matrix, heterogeneous nucleation promoted the matrix's crystalline content. Scanning electron microscopy analysis revealed that the surface of the PLA-CaCO3 scaffold exhibited increased roughness and improved interlayer bonding after undergoing plasma treatment. Atomic force microscopy revealed a significant (up to 80-fold) increase in the roughness value of PLA scaffolds after the incorporation of CaCO3 and subsequent cold plasma treatment. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis indicated that atmospheric plasma treatment substantially increased the presence of oxygen-containing bonds, leading to a significant reduction in the water contact angle, which decreased from 89° to 37°. According to the tensile test, the tensile modulus (634.1 MPa) and ultimate tensile strength (25.4 MPa) of PLA were markedly increased and reached 914.3 and 37.2 MPa, respectively, for the plasma-treated PLA-CaCO3 (PT-PLA-CaCO3). Additionally, the in-vitro degradation test showed that PT-PLA-CaCO3 scaffold exhibited higher degradation rate compared to the PLA-CaCO3 sample. Based on the obtained results, it appears that in-process cold atmospheric plasma treatment could serve as an efficient and straightforward method to enhance the properties of 3D-printed composite parts, particularly for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Serum albumin, commonly recognized as a predominant major plasma protein, is ubiquitously distributed among vertebrates, demonstrating versatility and widespread accessibility. Numerous studies have discussed the composition and attributes of human and bovine serum albumin; nonetheless, few systematic and comprehensive summaries on human and bovine serum albumin exist. This paper reviews the applications of human and bovine serum albumin in biomedical engineering. First, we introduce the differences in the structure of human and bovine serum albumin. Next, we describe the extraction methods for human and bovine serum albumin (fractionation process separation, magnetic adsorption, reverse micellar (RM) extraction, and genetic engineering) and the advantages and disadvantages of recently developed extraction methods. The characteristics of different processing forms of human and bovine serum albumin are also discussed, concomitantly elucidating their intrinsic properties, functions, and applications in biomedicine. Notably, their pivotal functions as carriers for drugs and tissue-engineered scaffolds, as well as their contributions to cell reproduction and bioimaging, are critically examined. Finally, to provide guidance for researchers in their future work, this review summarizes the current state of human and bovine serum albumin research and outlines potential future research topics.

Abstract
As a bone tissue engineering material, polylactic acid (PLA) has received significant attention and interest due to its ease of processing and biocompatibility. However, its insufficient mechanical properties and poor wettability are two major drawbacks that limit its extensive use. For this purpose, the present study uses in-situ cold argon plasma treatment coupled with a fused deposition modeling printer to enhance the physio-mechanical and biological behavior of 3D-printed PLA scaffolds. Following plasma treatment, field emission scanning electron microscopy images indicated that the surface of the modified scaffold became rough, and the interlayer bonding was enhanced. This resulted in an improvement in the tensile properties of samples printed in the X, Y, and Z directions, with the enhancement being more significant in the Z direction. Additionally, the root mean square value of PLA scaffolds increased (up to 70-fold) after plasma treatment. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis demonstrated that the plasma technique increased the intensity of oxygen-containing bonds, thereby reducing the water contact angle from 92.5° to 42.1°. The in-vitro degradation study also demonstrated that argon plasma treatment resulted in a 77% increase in PLA scaffold degradation rate. Furthermore, the modified scaffold improved the viability, attachment, and proliferation of human adipose-derived stem cells. These findings suggest that in-situ argon plasma treatment may be a facile and effective method for improving the properties of 3D-printed parts for bone tissue engineering and other applications.

Abstract
Polymeric nanomaterials, nanogels, and solid nanoparticles can be fabricated using single or double emulsion methods. These materials hold great promise for various biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their ability to control interactions with body fluids and cells. Despite the increasing use of nanoparticles in biomedicine and the plethora of publications on the topic, the biological behavior and efficacy of polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) have not been as extensively studied as those of other nanoparticles. The gap between the potential of PNPs and their applications can mainly be attributed to the incomplete understanding of their biological identity. Under physiological conditions, such as specific temperatures and adequate protein concentrations, PNPs become coated with a "protein corona" (PC), rendering them potent tools for proteomics studies. In this review, we initially investigate the synthesis routes and chemical composition of conventional PNPs to better comprehend how they interact with proteins. Subsequently, we comprehensively explore the effects of material and biological parameters on the interactions between nanoparticles and proteins, encompassing reactions such as hydrophobic bonding and electrostatic interactions. Moreover, we delve into recent advances in PNP-based models that can be applied to nanoproteomics, discussing the new opportunities they offer for the clinical translation of nanoparticles and early prediction of diseases. By addressing these essential aspects, we aim to shed light on the potential of polymeric nanoparticles for biomedical applications and foster further research in this critical area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Worldwide, many people suffer from knee injuries and articular cartilage damage every year, which causes pain and reduces productivity, life quality, and daily routines. Medication is currently primarily used to relieve symptoms and not to ameliorate cartilage degeneration. As the natural healing capacity of cartilage damage is limited due to a lack of vascularization, common surgical methods are used to repair cartilage tissue, but they cannot prevent massive damage followed by injury. MAIN BODY Functional tissue engineering has recently attracted attention for the repair of cartilage damage using a combination of cells, scaffolds (constructs), biochemical factors, and biomechanical stimuli. As cyclic biomechanical loading is the key factor in maintaining the chondrocyte phenotype, many studies have evaluated the effect of biomechanical stimulation on chondrogenesis. The characteristics of hydrogels, such as their mechanical properties, water content, and cell encapsulation, make them ideal for tissue-engineered scaffolds. Induced cell signaling (biochemical and biomechanical factors) and encapsulation of cells in hydrogels as a construct are discussed for biomechanical stimulation-based tissue regeneration, and several notable studies on the effect of biomechanical stimulation on encapsulated cells within hydrogels are discussed for cartilage regeneration. CONCLUSION Induction of biochemical and biomechanical signaling on the encapsulated cells in hydrogels are important factors for biomechanical stimulation-based cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
The use of hardystonite (Ca2ZnSi2O7, HT)-based composites could be one the main strategies to improve mechanical properties closing to natural bone. However, there are a few reports in this regard. Recent findings indicate that graphene is a promising biocompatible additive in ceramic-based composite. Here, we propose a simple approach for the synthesis of porous nano- and microstructured hardystonite/reduced graphene oxide (HT/RGO) composite using a sol-gel method followed by ultrasonic and hydrothermal processes. Integrating GO to the pure HT increased the bending strength and toughness values about 27.59% and 34.33%, respectively. It also allowed the increment of compressive strength and compressive modulus by about 8.18% and 86%, respectively, and improvement in the fracture toughness about 11.8 times compared to pure HT. The formation of HT/RGO nanocomposites with different RGO weight percentages ranging from 0 to 5.0 has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction and the efficient incorporation of GO nanosheets into HT nanocomposite as well as the mesoporous structural properties were also confirmed by Raman, FTIR and BET analyses. The cell viability of HT/RGO composite scaffolds was assayed by methyl thiazole tetrazolium (MTT) test in vitro. In this regard, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and the proliferation rate of mouse osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) on the HT/1 wt. % RGO composite scaffold enhanced in comparison with the pure HT ceramic. The adhesion of osteoblastic cells on the 1% wt. HT/RGO scaffold was interesting as well. In addition, the effect of 1% wt. HT/RGO extract on the proliferation of osteoblast human G-292 cells was successfully evaluated and remarkable observations were obtained. All together it can be said that the proposed bioceramic hardystonite/reduced graphene oxide composites can be a promising candidate for designing hard tissue implants.

Bovine serum albumin-functionalized graphene-decorated strontium as a potent complex nanoparticle for bone tissue engineering. Sci Rep 2022; 12:12336. [PMID: 35853926 PMCID: PMC9296456 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-16568-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Graphene and its family have a great potential in tissue engineering because of their super mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and antibacterial properties. Considering other properties of graphene such as high surface area and ready-to-use functionalization according to the high oxygen-containing groups in graphene oxide family, some needs could be addressed in bone tissue engineering. Herein, we synthesized and decorated strontium nanoparticles (SrNPs) during the reduction process of graphene oxide using green and novel method. Without using hydrazine or chemical linkers, strontium NPs were synthesized and decorated on the surface of rGO simultaneously using BSA. The results of the UV–Vis, FTIR and Raman spectroscopy demonstrated that BSA could successfully reduce graphene oxide and decorated SrNPs on the surface of rGO. FESEM and TEM exhibited that in situ synthesized SrNPs had 25–30 nm diameter. Interestingly, cell viability for MC3T3-E1 cells treated with SrNPs-rGO, were significantly higher than BSA-rGO and GO in constant concentration. Furthermore, we investigated the alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) of these nanosheets that the results demonstrated Sr-BSA-rGO enhanced ALP activity more than GO and BSA-rGO. Remarkably, the relative expression of RUNX 2 and Col1 genes of MC3T3-E1 cells was boosted when treated with Sr-BSA-rGO nanosheets. This study revealed that using proteins and other biomolecules as green and facile agent for decoration of smart nanoparticles on the surface of nanosheets, would be promising and assist researcher to replace the harsh and toxic hydrazine like materials with bio-friendly method. These results demonstrated that Sr-BSA-rGO had the excellent capability for regenerating bone tissue and could be used as an osteogenesis booster in implants.
