Abstract
Methacrylic acid (MAA)-based biomaterials promote a vascularized host response without the addition of exogenous factors such as cells or growth factors. We presume that materials containing MAA favor an alternative foreign body response, rather than the conventional fibrotic response. Here, we characterize selected aspects of the response to two different forms of MAA-a coating, which can be used to prevascularize the subcutaneous tissue for subsequent therapeutic cell delivery or an injectable hydrogel, which can be used to vascularize and deliver cells simultaneously. We show that the MAA-coating quickly vascularized the subcutaneous space compared to an uncoated silicone tube, and after 14 days of prevascularization, the tissue surrounding the MAA-coated tube presented fewer immune cells than the uncoated control. We also compared the host response to a MAA-PEG (polyethylene glycol) hydrogel at day 1, with pancreatic islets in immune-compromised SCID/bg mice and immune-competent Balb/c mice. The Balb/c mouse presented a more inflammatory response with increased IFN-γ production as compared to the SCID/bg. Together with previously published data, this work contributes to a further understanding of tissue responses to a biomaterial in different forms as used for cell delivery.

Acta Biomater 2024:S1742-7061(24)00315-5. [PMID: 38871204 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.06.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 05/13/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Wound healing is facilitated by biomaterials-based grafts and substantially impacted by orchestrated inflammatory responses that are essential to the normal repair process. Tropoelastin (TE) based materials are known to shorten the period for wound repair but the mechanism of anti-inflammatory performance is not known. To explore this, we compared the performance of the gold standard Integra Dermal Regeneration Template (Integra), polyglycerol sebacate (PGS), and TE blended with PGS, in a murine full-thickness cutaneous wound healing study. Systemically, blending with TE favorably increased the F4/80+ macrophage population by day 7 in the spleen and contemporaneously induced elevated plasma levels of anti-inflammatory IL-10. In contrast, the PGS graft without TE prompted prolonged inflammation, as evidenced by splenomegaly and greater splenic granulocyte and monocyte fractions at day 14. Locally, the inclusion of TE in the graft led to increased anti-inflammatory M2 macrophages and CD4+ T cells at the wound site, and a rise in Foxp3+ regulatory T cells in the wound bed by day 7. We conclude that the TE-incorporated skin graft delivers a pro-healing environment by modulating systemic and local tissue responses. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Tropoelastin (TE) has shown significant benefits in promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged human tissues. In this study, we show that TE promotes an anti-inflammatory environment that facilitates cutaneous wound healing. In a mouse model, we find that inserting a TE-containing material into a full-thickness wound results in defined, pro-healing local and systemic tissue responses. These findings advance our understanding of TE's restorative value in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, and pave the way for clinical applications.

Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of tissue engineering, the integration of tissue-engineered constructs (TECs) faces a dual challenge-initiating beneficial inflammation for regeneration while avoiding the perils of prolonged immune activation. As TECs encounter the immediate reaction of the immune system upon implantation, the unique immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) emerge as key navigators. Harnessing the paracrine effects of MSCs, researchers aim to craft a localized microenvironment that not only enhances TEC integration but also holds therapeutic promise for inflammatory-driven pathologies. This review unravels the latest advancements, applications, obstacles, and future prospects surrounding the strategic alliance between MSCs and TECs, shedding light on the immunological symphony that guides the course of regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Collagen, a key component of extracellular matrix serves as a linchpin for maintaining structural integrity and functional resilience. Concerns over purity and immunogenicity of animal-derived collagens have spurred efforts to develop synthetic collagen-based biomaterials. Despite several collagen mimics, there remains limited exploration of non-immunogenic biomaterials with the capacity for effective self-assembly. To combat the lacuna, collagen like protein (CLP) variants were rationally designed and recombinantly expressed, incorporating human telopeptide sequences (CLP-N and CLP-NC) and bioactive binding sites (CLP-NB). Circular dichroism analyses of the variants confirmed the triple helical conformation, with variations in thermal stability and conformation attributed to the presence of telopeptides at one or both ends of CLP. The variants had propensity to form oligomers, setting the stage for fibrillogenesis. The CLP variants were biocompatible, hemocompatible and supported cell proliferation and migration, particularly CLP-NB with integrin-binding sites. Gene expression indicated a lack of significant upregulation of inflammatory markers, highlighting the non-immunogenic nature of these variants. Lyophilized CLP scaffolds maintained their triple-helical structure and offered favorable biomaterial characteristics. These results accentuate the potential of designed CLP variants in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine and industrial sectors, supporting the development of biocompatible scaffolds and implants for therapeutic and cosmetic purposes.

Abstract
B cell immunity has a penetrating effect on human health and diseases. Therapeutics aiming to modulate B cell immunity have achieved remarkable success in combating infections, autoimmunity, and malignancies. However, current treatments still face significant limitations in generating effective long-lasting therapeutic B cell responses for many conditions. As the understanding of B cell biology has deepened in recent years, clearer regulation networks for B cell differentiation and antibody production have emerged, presenting opportunities to overcome current difficulties and realize the full therapeutic potential of B cell immunity. Biomaterial platforms have been developed to leverage these emerging concepts to augment therapeutic humoral immunity by facilitating immunogenic reagent trafficking, regulating T cell responses, and modulating the immune microenvironment. Moreover, biomaterial engineering tools have also advanced our understanding of B cell biology, further expediting the development of novel therapeutics. In this review, we will introduce the general concept of B cell immunobiology and highlight key biomaterial engineering strategies in the areas including B cell targeted antigen delivery, sustained B cell antigen delivery, antigen engineering, T cell help optimization, and B cell suppression. We will also discuss our perspective on future biomaterial engineering opportunities to leverage humoral immunity for therapeutics.

Abstract
The interaction between biomaterials and the immune system plays a pivotal role in determining the success or failure of implantable devices. Macrophages, as key orchestrators of immune responses, exhibit diverse reactions that influence tissue integration or lead to implant failure. This study focuses on unraveling the intricate relationship between macrophage phenotypes and biomaterials, specifically hydrogels, by employing THP-1 cells as a model. Through a comprehensive investigation using polysaccharide, polymer, and protein-based hydrogels, our research sheds light on how the properties of hydrogels influence macrophage polarization. Phenotypic observations, biochemical assays, surface marker expression, and gene expression profiles collectively demonstrate the differential macrophage polarization abilities of polysaccharide-, polymer-, and protein-based hydrogels. Moreover, our indirect coculture studies reveal that hydrogels fostering M2 polarization exhibit exceptional wound-healing capabilities. These findings highlight the crucial role of the hydrogel microenvironment in adjusting macrophage polarization, offering a fresh avenue for refining biomaterials to bolster advantageous immune responses and improve tissue integration. This research contributes valuable insights for designing biomaterials with tailored properties that can guide macrophage behavior, ultimately improving the overall success of implantable devices.

Abstract
In the context of bone regeneration, nanoparticles harboring osteogenic factors have emerged as pivotal agents for modulating the differentiation fate of stem cells. However, persistent challenges surrounding biocompatibility, loading efficiency, and precise targeting ability warrant innovative solution. In this study, a novel nanoparticle platform founded upon the zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is introduced. This new design, CDC20@ZIF-8@eM-Apt, involves the envelopment of ZIF-8 within an erythrocyte membrane (eM) cloak, and is coupled with a targeting aptamer. ZIF-8, distinguished by its porosity, biocompatibility, and robust cargo transport capabilities, constitutes the core framework. Cell division cycle protein 20 homolog (CDC20) is illuminated as a new target in bone regeneration. The eM plays a dual role in maintaining nanoparticle stability and facilitating fusion with target cell membranes, while the aptamer orchestrates the specific recruitment of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) within bone defect sites. Significantly, CDC20@ZIF-8@eM-Apt amplifies osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via the inhibition of NF-κB p65, and concurrently catalyzes bone regeneration in two bone defect models. Consequently, CDC20@ZIF-8@eM-Apt introduces a pioneering strategy for tackling bone defects and associated maladies, opening novel avenues in therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Biomaterials are designed to interact with biological systems to replace, support, enhance, or monitor their function. However, there are challenges associated with traditional biomaterials' development due to the lack of underlying theory governing cell response to materials' chemistry. This leads to the time-consuming process of testing different materials plus the adverse reactions in the body such as cytotoxicity and foreign body response. High-throughput screening (HTS) offers a solution to these challenges by enabling rapid and simultaneous testing of a large number of materials to determine their bio-interactions and biocompatibility. Secreted proteins regulate many physiological functions and determine the success of implanted biomaterials through directing cell behaviour. However, the majority of biomaterials' HTS platforms are suitable for microscopic analyses of cell behaviour and not for investigating non-adherent cells or measuring cell secretions. Here, we describe a multi-well platform adaptable to robotic printing of polymers and suitable for secretome profiling of both adherent and non-adherent cells. We detail the platform's development steps, encompassing the preparation of individual cell culture chambers, polymer printing, and the culture environment, as well as examples to demonstrate surface chemical characterisation and biological assessments of secreted mediators. Such platforms will no doubt facilitate the discovery of novel biomaterials and broaden their scope by adapting wider arrays of cell types and incorporating assessments of both secretome and cell-bound interactions. Key features • Detailed protocols for preparation of substrate for contact printing of acrylate-based polymers including O2 plasma etching, functionalisation process, and Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) dip coating. • Preparations of 7 mm × 7 mm polymers employing pin printing system. • Provision of confined area for each polymer using ProPlate® multi-well chambers. • Compatibility of this platform was validated using adherent cells [primary human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs)) and non-adherent cells (primary human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs)]. • Examples of the adaptability of the platform for secretome analysis including five different cytokines using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, DuoSet®).

Abstract
The osteoimmune microenvironment induced by implants plays a significant role in bone regeneration. It is essential to efficiently and timely switch the macrophage phenotype from M1 to M2 for optimal bone healing. This study examined the impact of a calcium phosphate (CaP) coating on the physiochemical properties of highly ordered polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds fabricated using melt electrowritten (MEW). Additionally, it investigated the influence of these scaffolds on macrophage polarization and their immunomodulation on osteogenesis. The results revealed that the CaP coated PCL scaffold exhibited a rougher surface topography and higher hydrophilicity in comparison to the PCL scaffold without coating. Besides, the surface morphology of the coating and the release of Ca2+ from the CaP coating were crucial in regulating the transition of macrophages from M1 to M2 phenotypes. They might activate the PI3K/AKT and cAMP-PKA pathways, respectively, to facilitate M2 polarization. In addition, the osteoimmune microenvironment induced by CaP coated PCL could not only enhance the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro but also promote the bone regeneration in vivo. Taken together, the CaP coating can be employed to control the phenotypic switching of macrophages, thereby creating a beneficial immunomodulatory microenvironment that promotes bone regeneration.

Abstract
Due to the limitations of tendon biology, high-quality tendon repair remains a clinical and scientific challenge. Here, a micro-nano hierarchical scaffold is developed to promote orderly tendon regeneration by providing temporal-matched biological constraints. In short, fibrin (Fb), which provides biological constraints, is loaded into poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide) nanoyarns with suitable degradation cycles (Fb-loaded nanofiber yarns (Fb-NY)). Then further combined with braiding technology, temporary chemotactic Fb scaffolds with tendon extracellular matrix-like structures are obtained to initiate the regeneration process. At the early stage of healing (2 w), the regeneration microenvironment is regulated (inducing M2 macrophages and restoring the early blood supply necessary for healing) by Fb, and the alignment of cells and collagen is induced by nanoyarn. At the late healing stage (8 w), with the degradation of Fb-NY, non-functional vascular regression occurs, and the newborn tissues gradually undergo load-bearing remodeling, restoring the anvascularous and ordered structure of the tendon. In summary, the proposed repair strategy provides temporal-matched biological constraints, offering a potential pathway to reconstruct the ordered structure and function of tendons.

Sugiura Y, Yamada E, Horie M. Fabrication of hydrophilic polymer-hybrid octacalcium phosphate blocks under wet condition based on cement setting reactions. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 148:106226.

Abstract
Bioceramics, while offering excellent biocompatibility, are often compromised by their fragility and brittleness, especially under wet conditions. Even though recent hybrid processes combining biocompatible polymers and bioceramics have shown promise, complete mitigation of these challenges remains elusive. In this research, a biomimetic process was employed to mimic the structure of biological bone tissue. This led to the development of block materials composed of octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and sodium polyacrylic acid (PAA-Na) that display flexibility and resilience in wet conditions. Adjusting the PAA-Na concentration enabled the OCP-PAA-Na blocks to demonstrate superior mechanical strength when dry and increased flexibility when wet. Notably, these blocks expanded in aqueous solutions while preserving their structure, making them ideal for oral surgeries by preventing issues like blood flooding from implanted areas.

Immunobiology of foreign body response to composite PLACL/gelatin electrospun nanofiber meshes with mesenchymal stem/stromal cells in a mouse model: Implications in pelvic floor tissue engineering and regeneration. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 155:213669.

Abstract
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) is a common gynaecological disorder where pelvic organs protrude into the vagina. While transvaginal mesh surgery using non-degradable polymers was a commonly accepted treatment for POP, it has been associated with high rates of adverse events such as mesh erosion, exposure and inflammation due to serious foreign body response and therefore banned from clinical use after regulatory mandates. This study proposes a tissue engineering strategy using uterine endometrium-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (eMSC) delivered with degradable poly L-lactic acid-co-poly ε-caprolactone (PLACL) and gelatin (G) in form of a composite electrospun nanofibrous mesh (P + G nanomesh) and evaluates the immunomodulatory mechanism at the material interfaces. The study highlights the critical acute and chronic inflammatory markers along with remodelling factors that determine the mesh surgery outcome. We hypothesise that such a bioengineered construct enhances mesh integration and mitigates the Foreign Body Response (FBR) at the host interface associated with mesh complications. Our results show that eMSC-based nanomesh significantly increased 7 genes associated with ECM synthesis and cell adhesion including, Itgb1, Itgb2, Vcam1, Cd44, Cdh2, Tgfb1, Tgfbr1, 6 genes related to angiogenesis including Ang1, Ang2, Vegfa, Pdgfa, Serpin1, Cxcl12, and 5 genes associated with collagen remodelling Col1a1, Col3a1, Col6a1, Col6a2, Col4a5 at six weeks post-implantation. Our findings suggest that cell-based tissue-engineered constructs potentially mitigate the FBR response elicited by biomaterial implants. From a clinical perspective, this construct provides an alternative to current inadequacies in surgical outcomes by modulating the immune response, inducing angiogenesis and ECM synthesis during the acute and chronic phases of the FBR.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of porosity and pore shape on the biological and mechanical behavior of additively manufactured scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (BTE). Polylactic acid scaffolds with varying porosity levels (15-78%) and pore shapes, including regular (rectangular pores), gyroid, and diamond (triply periodic minimal surfaces) structures, are fabricated by fused filament fabrication. Murine-derived macrophages and human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBMSCs) are seeded onto the scaffolds. The compressive behavior and surface morphology of the scaffolds are characterized. The results show that scaffolds with 15%, 30%, and 45% porosity display the highest rate of macrophage and hBMSC growth. Gyroid and diamond scaffolds exhibit a higher rate of macrophage proliferation, while diamond scaffolds exhibit a higher rate of hBMSC proliferation. Additionally, gyroid and diamond scaffolds exhibit better compressive behavior compared to regular scaffolds. Of particular note, diamond scaffolds have the highest compressive modulus and strength. Surface morphology characterization indicates that the surface roughness of diamond and gyroid scaffolds is greater than that of regular scaffolds at the same porosity level, which is beneficial for cell attachment and proliferation. This study provides valuable insights into porosity and pore shape selection for additively manufactured scaffolds in BTE.

Abstract
Despite advancements in our knowledge of neutrophil responses to planktonic bacteria during acute inflammation, much remains to be elucidated on how neutrophils deal with bacterial biofilms in implant infections. Further complexity transpires from the emerging findings on the role that biomaterials play in conditioning bacterial adhesion, the variety of biofilm matrices, and the insidious measures that biofilm bacteria devise against neutrophils. Thus, grasping the entirety of neutrophil-biofilm interactions occurring in periprosthetic tissues is a difficult goal. The bactericidal weapons of neutrophils consist of the following: ready-to-use antibacterial proteins and enzymes stored in granules; NADPH oxidase-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS); and net-like structures of DNA, histones, and granule proteins, which neutrophils extrude to extracellularly trap pathogens (the so-called NETs: an allusive acronym for "neutrophil extracellular traps"). Neutrophils are bactericidal (and therefore defensive) cells endowed with a rich offensive armamentarium through which, if frustrated in their attempts to engulf and phagocytose biofilms, they can trigger the destruction of periprosthetic bone. This study speculates on how neutrophils interact with biofilms in the dramatic scenario of implant infections, also considering the implications of this interaction in view of the design of new therapeutic strategies and functionalized biomaterials, to help neutrophils in their arduous task of managing biofilms.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a highly promising orthopedic implantation material due to its elastic modulus which is comparable to that of natural bone. This polymer exhibits impressive properties for bone implantation such as corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication and chemical stability. Significantly, compared to metal-based implants, PEEK implants have mechanical properties that are closer to natural bone, which can mitigate the "stress shielding" effect in bone implantation. Nevertheless, PEEK is incapable of inducing osteogenesis due to its bio-inert molecular structure, thereby hindering the osseointegration process. To optimize the clinical application of PEEK, researchers have been working on promoting its bioactivity and endowing this polymer with beneficial properties, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and angiogenesis-promoting capabilities. Considering the significant growth of research on PEEK implants over the past 5 years, this review aims to present a timely update on PEEK's modification methods. By highlighting the latest advancements in PEEK modification, we hope to provide guidance and inspiration for researchers in developing the next generation bone implants and optimizing their clinical applications.

Abstract
The formation of a dense fibrous capsule around the foreign body and its contracture is the most common complication of biomaterial implantation. The aim of our research is to find out how the surface of the implant influences the inflammatory and fibrotic reactions in the surrounding tissues. We made three types of implants with a remote surface topography formed of polylactide granules with different diameters: large (100-200 µm), medium (56-100 µm) and small (1-56 µm). We placed these implants in skin pockets in the ears of six chinchilla rabbits. We explanted the implants on the 7th, 14th, 30th and 60th days and performed optical coherence tomography, and histological, immunohistochemical and morphometric studies. We examined 72 samples and compared the composition of immune cell infiltration, vascularization, the thickness of the peri-implant tissues, the severity of fibrotic processes and α-SMA expression in myofibroblasts. We analyzed the scattering coefficient of tissue layers on OCT scans. We found that implants made from large granules induced a milder inflammatory process and slower formation of a connective tissue capsule around the foreign body. Our results prove the importance of assessing the surface texture in order to avoid the formation of capsular contracture after implantation.

Abstract
It is well known that pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly reduces the quality of life of affected women and in many cases requires corrective surgery. Aim of the study was to compare the immune response against titanized versus non-titanized meshes, especially macrophage polarization and immune checkpoint association. For this, we analyzed 644 POP surgeries, which were performed between 2017 and 2022, in our department. Four of them needed revision surgery caused by erosion. We analyzed the influx of CD68 & CD163 positive macrophages and the expression of immune checkpoint molecules PD-L1 and PD1 in these 4 patients. We identified a large number of CD68 and CD163 positive macrophages and additionally a PD-L1 expression of these cells. Based on the in-vivo results, we isolated monocytes and co-cultivated monocytes with different mesh material covered with or without fibroblasts. We identified a significantly enhanced macrophage activation and PD-L1 expression in macrophages surrounding non-titanized polypropylene mesh material. Encapsulation of the material by fibroblasts was crucial for that. Specifically, CD68-positive macrophages are upregulated (p < 0.001), co-expressing PD-L1 (p < 0.001) in monocytes co-cultivated with non-titanized polypropylene meshes. Monocytes co-cultivated with titanized polypropylene meshes showed significantly lower expression of CD163 (p = 0.027) and PD-L1 (p = 0.022). In conclusion, our in vitro data suggest that the titanium coating leads to a decreased polarization of macrophages and to a decreased immune response compared to non-titanized meshes. This could be an indication for the increased incidence of erosion of the non-titanized meshes, which is a severe complication of this procedure and requires revision surgery. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Pelvic organ prolapse is a well-known problem for women and often requires corrective surgery. Polypropylene meshes are often used, which differ in their coating (titanized vs. non-titanized). A severe side effect of these surgeries is mesh erosion, due to onset of inflammation, which requires revision surgery. We examined all erosion cases (4 of 644 patients) with implanted nontitanium-coated meshes by immunohistochemistry and found upregulation of macrophage polarization (as markers CD68 and CD163) and increased expression of the immune checkpoint molecules PD-L1 and PD1. This suggests inflammatory processes and an enhanced immune response. In addition, we set up an in vitro experiment to investigate whether coating plays a role. Here, we demonstrated that the non-titanized meshes elicited a significantly higher immune response in comparison to titanized meshes, which could lead to the higher erosion rate of the non-titanized meshes. Our results highlight the benefit of titanized meshes, which should lead to a lower revision surgery rate and thus improved patient outcome.

Unraveling the potential of 3D bioprinted immunomodulatory materials for regulating macrophage polarization: State-of-the-art in bone and associated tissue regeneration. Bioact Mater 2023; 28:284-310. [PMID: 37303852 PMCID: PMC10248805 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.05.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophage-assisted immunomodulation is an alternative strategy in tissue engineering, wherein the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory macrophage cells and body cells determines the fate of healing or inflammation. Although several reports have demonstrated that tissue regeneration depends on spatial and temporal regulation of the biophysical or biochemical microenvironment of the biomaterial, the underlying molecular mechanism behind immunomodulation is still under consideration for developing immunomodulatory scaffolds. Currently, most fabricated immunomodulatory platforms reported in the literature show regenerative capabilities of a particular tissue, for example, endogenous tissue (e.g., bone, muscle, heart, kidney, and lungs) or exogenous tissue (e.g., skin and eye). In this review, we briefly introduced the necessity of the 3D immunomodulatory scaffolds and nanomaterials, focusing on material properties and their interaction with macrophages for general readers. This review also provides a comprehensive summary of macrophage origin and taxonomy, their diverse functions, and various signal transduction pathways during biomaterial-macrophage interaction, which is particularly helpful for material scientists and clinicians for developing next-generation immunomodulatory scaffolds. From a clinical standpoint, we briefly discussed the role of 3D biomaterial scaffolds and/or nanomaterial composites for macrophage-assisted tissue engineering with a special focus on bone and associated tissues. Finally, a summary with expert opinion is presented to address the challenges and future necessity of 3D bioprinted immunomodulatory materials for tissue engineering.

Peptide Hydrogels as Immunomaterials and Their Use in Cancer Immunotherapy Delivery. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2301096.

Abstract
Peptide-based hydrogel biomaterials have emerged as an excellent strategy for immune system modulation. Peptide-based hydrogels are supramolecular materials that self-assemble into various nanostructures through various interactive forces (i.e., hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions) and respond to microenvironmental stimuli (i.e., pH, temperature). While they have been reported in numerous biomedical applications, they have recently been deemed promising candidates to improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapies and treatments. Immunotherapies seek to harness the body's immune system to preemptively protect against and treat various diseases, such as cancer. However, their low efficacy rates result in limited patient responses to treatment. Here, the immunomaterial's potential to improve these efficacy rates by either functioning as immune stimulators through direct immune system interactions and/or delivering a range of immune agents is highlighted. The chemical and physical properties of these peptide-based materials that lead to immuno modulation and how one may design a system to achieve desired immune responses in a controllable manner are discussed. Works in the literature that reports peptide hydrogels as adjuvant systems and for the delivery of immunotherapies are highlighted. Finally, the future trends and possible developments based on peptide hydrogels for cancer immunotherapy applications are discussed.

Abstract
The imbalance between life expectancy and quality of life is increasing due to the raising prevalence of chronic diseases. Musculoskeletal disorders and chronic wounds affect a growing percentage of people and demand more efficient tools for regenerative medicine. Scaffolds that can better mimic the natural physical stimuli that tissues receive under healthy conditions and during healing may significantly aid the regeneration process. Shape, mechanical properties, pore size and interconnectivity have already been demonstrated to be relevant scaffold features that can determine cell adhesion and differentiation. Much less attention has been paid to scaffolds that can deliver more dynamic physical stimuli, such as electrical signals. Recent developments in the precise measurement of electrical fields in vivo have revealed their key role in cell movement (galvanotaxis), growth, activation of secondary cascades, and differentiation to different lineages in a variety of tissues, not just neural. Piezoelectric scaffolds can mimic the natural bioelectric potentials and gradients in an autonomous way by generating the electric stimuli themselves when subjected to mechanical loads or, if the patient or the tissue lacks mobility, ultrasound irradiation. This review provides an analysis on endogenous bioelectrical signals, recent developments on piezoelectric scaffolds for bone, cartilage, tendon and nerve regeneration, and their main outcomes in vivo. Wound healing with piezoelectric dressings is addressed in the last section with relevant examples of performance in animal models. Results evidence that a fine adjustment of material composition and processing (electrospinning, corona poling, 3D printing, annealing) provides scaffolds that act as true emitters of electrical stimuli that activate endogenous signaling pathways for more efficient and long-term tissue repair.

Abstract
A silk elastin-like protein (SELP) is an artificial compound with silk fibroin-like and elastin-like tandem repeats. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of SELP on the polarization of human monocytoma cell line (THP-1)-derived macrophages. When the macrophages of inflammation-type (M1) were cultured with different concentrations of SELP solution, the secretion of a pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrotizing factor (TNF) -α was significantly suppressed at the higher concentrations. In addition, the secretion of an anti-inflammation cytokine, interleukin (IL)-10, was significantly enhanced from the macrophage of M0-, M1-, and M2-types. By the incubation with soluble SELP, the morphology of M2-type macrophages changed to be of an extended shape. Following incubation with the sponge of SELP, M0-type macrophages secreted IL-10 with time. It is concluded that the SELP itself in solution has an ability to induce the anti-inflammation of M2-type macrophages.

Abstract
Beyond its actions on the nervous system, amitriptyline (AM) has been shown to lower inflammatory, angiogenic, and fibrogenic markers in a few pathological conditions in human and in experimental animal models. However, its effects on foreign body reaction (FBR), a complex adverse healing process, after biomedical material implantation are not known. We have evaluated the effects of AM on the angiogenic and fibrogenic components on a model of implant-induced FBR. Sponge disks were implanted subcutaneously in C57BL/6 mice, that were treated daily with oral administration of AM (5 mg/kg) for seven consecutive days in two protocols: treatment was started on the day of surgery and the implants were removed on the seventh day after implantation and treatment started 7 days after implantation and the implants removed 14 after implantation. None of the angiogenic (vessels, Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) or fibrogenic parameters (collagen, TGF-β, and fibrous capsule) and giant cell numbers analyzed were attenuated by AM in 7-day-old implants. However, AM was able to downregulate angiogenesis and FBR in 14-day-old implants. The effects of AM described here expands its range of actions as a potential agent capable of attenuating fibroproliferative processes that may impair functionality of implantable devices.

Abstract
The elucidation of structural interfaces between proteins and inorganic surfaces is a crucial aspect of bionanotechnology development. Despite its significance, the interfacial structures between proteins and metallic surfaces are yet to be fully understood, and the lack of experimental investigation has impeded the development of many devices. To overcome this limitation, we suggest considering the generation of protein/surface structures as a molecular docking problem with a homogenous plan as the target. To this extent, we propose a new software, DockSurf, which aims to quickly propose reliable protein/surface structures. Our approach considers the conformational exploration with Euler's angles, which provide a cartography instead of a unique structure. Interaction energies were derived from quantum mechanics computations for a set of small molecules that describe protein atom types and implemented in a Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek potential for the consideration of large systems such as proteins. The validation of DockSurf software was conducted with molecular dynamics for corona proteins with gold surfaces and provided enthusiastic results. This software is implemented in the RPBS platform to facilitate widespread access to the scientific community.

Abstract
Bone substitute material implantation has become an important treatment strategy for the repair of oral and maxillofacial bone defects. Recent studies have shown that appropriate inflammatory and immune cells are essential factors in the process of osteoinduction of bone substitute materials. Previous studies have mainly focused on innate immune cells such as macrophages. In our previous work, we found that T lymphocytes, as adaptive immune cells, are also essential in the osteoinduction procedure. As the most important antigen-presenting cell, whether dendritic cells (DCs) can recognize non-antigen biomaterials and participate in osteoinduction was still unclear. In this study, we found that surgical trauma associated with materials implantation induces necrocytosis, and this causes the release of high mobility group protein-1 (HMGB1), which is adsorbed on the surface of bone substitute materials. Subsequently, HMGB1-adsorbed materials were recognized by the TLR4-MYD88-NFκB signal axis of dendritic cells, and the inflammatory response was activated. Finally, activated DCs release regeneration-related chemokines, recruit mesenchymal stem cells, and initiate the osteoinduction process. This study sheds light on the immune-regeneration process after bone substitute materials implantation, points out a potential direction for the development of bone substitute materials, and provides guidance for the development of clinical surgical methods.

Abstract
Implants made of magnesium (Mg) are increasingly employed in patients to achieve osteosynthesis while degrading in situ. Since Mg implants and Mg2+ have been suggested to possess anti-inflammatory properties, the clinically observed soft tissue inflammation around Mg implants is enigmatic. Here, using a rat soft tissue model and a 1-28 d observation period, we determined the temporo-spatial cell distribution and behavior in relation to sequential changes of pure Mg implant surface properties and Mg2+ release. Compared to nondegradable titanium (Ti) implants, Mg degradation exacerbated initial inflammation. Release of Mg degradation products at the tissue-implant interface, culminating at 3 d, actively initiated chemotaxis and upregulated mRNA and protein immunomodulatory markers, particularly inducible nitric oxide synthase and toll-like receptor-4 up to 6 d, yet without a cytotoxic effect. Increased vascularization was demonstrated morphologically, preceded by high expression of vascular endothelial growth factor. The transition to appropriate tissue repair coincided with implant surface enrichment of Ca and P and reduced peri-implant Mg2+ concentration. Mg implants revealed a thinner fibrous encapsulation compared with Ti. The detailed understanding of the relationship between Mg material properties and the spatial and time-resolved cellular processes provides a basis for the interpretation of clinical observations and future tailoring of Mg implants.

Abstract
The incidence of tissue and organ damage caused by various diseases is increasing worldwide. Tissue engineering is a promising strategy of tackling this problem because of its potential to regenerate or replace damaged tissues and organs. The biochemical and biophysical cues of biomaterials can stimulate and induce biological activities such as cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation, and ultimately achieve tissue repair and regeneration. Micro/nano materials are a special type of biomaterial that can mimic the microstructure of tissues on a microscopic scale due to its precise construction, further providing scaffolds with specific three-dimensional structures to guide the activities of cells. The study and application of biomimetic micro/nano-materials have greatly promoted the development of tissue engineering. This review aims to provide an overview of the different types of micro/nanomaterials, their preparation methods and their application in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Microparticles are successfully engineered through controlled interfacial self-assembly of polymers to harmonize ultrahigh drug loading with zero-order release of protein payloads. To address their poor miscibility with carrier materials, protein molecules are transformed into nanoparticles, whose surfaces are covered with polymer molecules. This polymer layer hinders the transfer of cargo nanoparticles from oil to water, achieving superior encapsulation efficiency (up to 99.9%). To control payload release, the polymer density at the oil-water interface is enhanced, forming a compact shell for microparticles. The resultant microparticles can harvest up to 49.9% mass fraction of proteins with zero-order release kinetics in vivo, enabling an efficient glycemic control in type 1 diabetes. Moreover, the precise control of engineering process offered through continuous flow results in high batch-to-batch reproducibility and, ultimately, excellent scale-up feasibility.

Abstract
Chronic wounds encompass a myriad of lesions, including venous and arterial leg ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), pressure ulcers, non-healing surgical wounds and others. Despite the etiological differences, chronic wounds share several features at a molecular level. The wound bed is a convenient environment for microbial adherence, colonization and infection, with the initiation of a complex host-microbiome interplay. Chronic wound infections with mono- or poly-microbial biofilms are frequent and their management is challenging due to tolerance and resistance to antimicrobial therapy (systemic antibiotic or antifungal therapy or antiseptic topicals) and to the host's immune defense mechanisms. The ideal dressing should maintain moisture, allow water and gas permeability, absorb wound exudates, protect against bacteria and other infectious agents, be biocompatible, be non-allergenic, be non-toxic and biodegradable, be easy to use and remove and, last but not least, it should be cost-efficient. Although many wound dressings possess intrinsic antimicrobial properties acting as a barrier to pathogen invasion, adding anti-infectious targeted agents to the wound dressing may increase their efficiency. Antimicrobial biomaterials may represent a potential substitute for systemic treatment of chronic wound infections. In this review, we aim to describe the available types of antimicrobial biomaterials for chronic wound care and discuss the host response and the spectrum of pathophysiologic changes resulting from the contact between biomaterials and host tissues.

Abstract
Despite unprecedented successes of antibody-based cancer immunotherapy, the serious side effects and rapid clearance following systemic administration remain big challenges to realize its full potential. At the same time, combination immunotherapy using multiple antibodies has shown particularly promising in cancer treatment. It is noticed that the working mechanisms of natural holdase and foldase chaperone are desirable to overcome the limitations of therapeutic antibodies. Holdase chaperone stabilizes unfolded client and prevents it from activation and degradation, while foldase chaperone assists unfolded client to its native state to function. Here a holdase/foldase mimetic nanochaperone (H/F-nChap) to co-delivery two types of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), αCD16 and αPDL1, and resiquimod (R848) is developed, which significantly improves cancer immunotherapy. The H/F-nChap presents holdase activity in blood and normal tissues that hides and protects mAbs from unnecessary targeted activation and degradation, thereby prolonging blood circulation and reducing immunotoxicity in vivo. Furthermore, H/F-nChap switches to foldase activity in the tumor microenvironment that exposes mAbs and releases R848 to enhance the engagement between NK cells and tumor cells and promote immune activation, respectively. The H/F-nChap represents a strategy for safe and spatiotemporal delivery of multiple mAbs, providing a promising platform for improved cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Mucosal tissues are often a desirable site of drug action to treat disease and engage the immune system. However, systemically administered drugs suffer from limited bioavailability in mucosal tissues where technologies to enable direct, local delivery to these sites would prove useful. In this Spotlight on Applications article, we discuss hydrogels as an attractive means for local delivery of therapeutics to address a range of conditions affecting the eye, nose, oral cavity, gastrointestinal, urinary bladder, and vaginal tracts. Considering the barriers to effective mucosal delivery, we provide an overview of the key parameters in the use of hydrogels for these applications. Finally, we highlight recent work demonstrating their use for inflammatory and infectious diseases affecting these tissues.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, the relationship between a biomaterial surface and the host's immune response during wound healing is crucial for tissue regeneration. Despite hemoderivative functionalization of biomaterials becoming a common tissue-engineering strategy for enhanced regeneration, the characteristics of the protein-biomaterial interface have not been fully elucidated. This study characterized the interface formed by the adsorbed proteins from various hemoderivatives with pristine and calcium phosphate (CaP)-coated polycaprolactone (PCL) melt electrowritten scaffolds. PCL scaffolds were fabricated by using melt electrospinning writing (MEW). Three hemoderivatives (pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP), leucocyte platelet-rich plasma (L-PRP) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF)) and total blood PLASMA (control) were prepared from ovine blood. Hemoderivatives were characterized via SEM/EDX, cross-linking assay, weight loss, pH and protein quantification. The interface between PCL/CaP and hemoderivative was examined via FTIR, XPS and electrophoresis. i-PRF/PCL-CaP (1653 cm-1), PLASMA/PCL-CaP (1652 cm-1) and i-PRF/PCL (1651 cm-1) demonstrated a strong signal at the Amide I region. PLASMA and i-PRF presented similar N1s spectra, with most of the nitrogen involved in N-C=O bonds (≈400 eV). i-PRF resulted in higher adsorption of low molecular weight (LMW) proteins at 60 min, while PLASMA exhibited the lowest adsorption. L-PRP and P-PRP had a similar pattern of protein adsorption. The characteristics of biomaterial interfaces can be customized, thus creating a specific hemoderivative-defined layer on the PCL surface. i-PRF demonstrated a predominant adsorption of LMW proteins. Further investigation of hemoderivative functionalized biomaterials is required to identify the differential protein corona composition, and the resultant immune response and regenerative capacity.

Abstract
Acellular liver scaffolds (ALS) produced by decellularization have been successfully explored for distinct regenerative purposes. To date, it is unknown whether transplanted ALSs are affected by cirrhotic livers, either becoming cirrhotic themselves or instead remaining as a robust template for healthy cell growth after transplantation into cirrhotic rats. Moreover, little is known about the clinical course of recipient cirrhotic livers after ALS transplantation. To address these questions, we transplanted ALSs into cirrhotic rats previously treated with the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. Here, we report successful cellular engraftment within the transplanted ALSs at 7, 15, and 30 days after transplantation. Recellularization was orchestrated by liver tissue cell activation, resident hepatocytes and bile duct proliferation, and an immune response mediated by the granulocyte components. Furthermore, we showed that transplanted ALSs ensured a pro-regenerative and anti-inflammatory microenvironment, attracted vessels from the host cirrhotic tissue, and promoted progenitor cell recruitment. ALS transplantation induced cirrhotic liver regeneration and extracellular matrix remodeling. Moreover, the transplanted ALS sustained blood circulation and attenuated alterations in the ultrasonographic and biochemical parameters in cirrhotic rats. Taken together, our results confirm that transplanted ALSs are not affected by cirrhotic livers and remain a robust template for healthy cell growth and stimulated cirrhotic liver regeneration.

Abstract
Background: Immune evaluation of biomaterials for tissue regeneration is a critical preclinical evaluation. The current evaluation criterion (ISO 10993-1 or GB/T 16886) uses rodents to perform the immune evaluation. However, the immune system of rodents is different from humans, the obtained results may not be reliable, which could lead directly to the failure of clinical trials. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) shows a great potential application in tissue regeneration by regulating local immune responses. The presented work combines the advantages of GM-CSF (immunoregulation) and hierarchically 3D nanofiber scaffolds (tissue regeneration). Methods: Firstly, we fabricated GM-CSF loaded 3D radially aligned nanofiber scaffolds, and then subcutaneous implantation was performed in humanized mice. The whole scaffold and surrounding tissue were harvested at each indicated time point. Finally, the cell infiltration and local immune responses were detected by histological observations, including H&E and Masson staining and immunochemistry. Results: We found significant cell migration and extracellular matrix deposition within the 3D radially aligned nanofiber scaffold after subcutaneous implantation. The locally released GM-CSF could accelerate the expression of human dendritic cells (CD11c) only 3 days after subcutaneous implantation. Moreover, higher expression of human cytotoxic T cells (CD3+/CD8+), M1 macrophages (CD68/CCR7) was detected within GM-CSF loaded radially aligned nanofiber scaffolds and their surrounding tissues. Conclusions: The 3D radially aligned scaffold can accelerate cell migration from surrounding tissues to regenerate the wound area. And the locally released GM-CSF enhances dendritic cell recruitment and activation of cytotoxic T cells and M1 macrophages. Taken together, the GM-CSF loaded 3D radially aligned nanofiber scaffolds have a promising potential for achieving tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibrous capsules (Fb) in response to cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), including a pacemaker (P) system, can produce patient discomfort and difficulties in revision surgery due partially to their increased compressive strength, previously linked to elevated tissue fibers. OBJECTIVE A preliminary study to quantify structural proteins, determine if biologic extracellular matrix-enveloped CIEDs (PECM) caused differential Fb properties, and to implement a realistic mechanical model. METHODS Retrieved Fb (-P and -PECM) from minipigs were subjected to biomechanical (shear oscillation and uniaxial compression) and histological (collagen I and elastin) analyses. RESULTS Fb-PECM showed significant decreases compared to Fb-P in: low strain-loss modulus (390 vs. 541 Pa) across angular frequencies, high strain-compressive elastic modulus (1043 vs. 2042 kPa), and elastic fiber content (1.92 vs. 3.15 μg/mg tissue). Decreases in elastin were particularly noted closer to the implant's surface (Fb-PECM = 71% vs. Fb-P = 143% relative to dermal elastin at mid-tangential sections) and verified with a solid mechanics hyperelasticity with direction-dependent fiber viscoelasticity compression simulation (r2 ≥ 98.9%). CONCLUSIONS The biologic envelope composed of decellularized porcine small intestine submucosa ECM for CIEDs promoted fibrous tissues with less elastic fibers. Novel compression modeling analyses directly correlated this singular reduction to more desirable subcutaneous tissue mechanics.

Abstract
A silk elastin-like protein (SELP) is an artificial compound with silk fibroin-like and elastin-like tandem repeats. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of SELP on the polarization of mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages. When the macrophages of inflammation-type (M1) were cultured with different concentrations of SELP solution, the secretion of a pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrotizing factor (TNF)-α, was significantly suppressed at the higher concentrations. In addition, the secretion of an anti-inflammation cytokine, interleukin (IL)-10, was significantly enhanced from the macrophage of an original type (M0). By the incubation with soluble SELP, the morphology of M0- and M1-type macrophages changed to be of a round shape with a large size. Following incubation with the sponge of SELP, the M0-type macrophages secreted IL-10 with time. When injected into an air pouch of mice subcutis which had been prepared by the injection of air, the SELP sponge and 5 wt % of SELP solution induced IL-10 secretion to a significantly high extent compared with the saline injection. Cells isolated from the air pouch 24 h after the injection were stained by the CD206 of a M2 marker. It is concluded that the SELP itself in solution has an ability to induce the anti-inflammation M2-type macrophages.

Abstract
Nowadays, biomaterials have evolved from the inert supports or functional substitutes to the bioactive materials able to trigger or promote the regenerative potential of tissues. The interdisciplinary progress has broadened the definition of 'biomaterials', and a typical new insight is the concept of tissue induction biomaterials. The term 'regenerative biomaterials' and thus the contents of this article are relevant to yet beyond tissue induction biomaterials. This review summarizes the recent progress of medical materials including metals, ceramics, hydrogels, other polymers and bio-derived materials. As the application aspects are concerned, this article introduces regenerative biomaterials for bone and cartilage regeneration, cardiovascular repair, 3D bioprinting, wound healing and medical cosmetology. Cell-biomaterial interactions are highlighted. Since the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019, the review particularly mentions biomaterials for public health emergency. In the last section, perspectives are suggested: (i) creation of new materials is the source of innovation; (ii) modification of existing materials is an effective strategy for performance improvement; (iii) biomaterial degradation and tissue regeneration are required to be harmonious with each other; (iv) host responses can significantly influence the clinical outcomes; (v) the long-term outcomes should be paid more attention to; (vi) the noninvasive approaches for monitoring in vivo dynamic evolution are required to be developed; (vii) public health emergencies call for more research and development of biomaterials; and (viii) clinical translation needs to be pushed forward in a full-chain way. In the future, more new insights are expected to be shed into the brilliant field-regenerative biomaterials.

Abstract
The attention on orthopedic biomaterials has shifted from their direct osteogenic properties to their osteoimmunomodulation, especially the modulation of macrophage polarization. Presently, advanced technologies endow polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with good osteoimmunomodulation by modifying PEEK surface characteristics or incorporating bioactive substances with regulating macrophage polarization. Recent studies have demonstrated that the fabrication of a hydrophilic surface and the incorporation of bioactive substances into PEEK (e.g., zinc, calcium, and phosphate) are good strategies to promote osteogenesis by enhancing the polarization of M2 macrophages. Furthermore, the modification by other osteoimmunomodulatory composites (e.g., lncRNA-MM2P, IL-4, IL-10, and chitosan) and their controlled and desired release may make PEEK an optimal bio-activated implant for regulating and balancing the osteogenic system and immune system. The purpose of this review is to comprehensively evaluate the potential of bio-activated PEEK in polarizing macrophages into M2 phenotype to improve osteogenesis. For this objective, we retrieved and discussed different kinds of bio-activated PEEK regarding improving osteogenesis through modulating macrophage polarization. Meanwhile, the relevant challenges and outlook were presented. We hope that this review can shed light on the development of bio-activated PEEK with more favorable osteoimmunomodulation.

Influence of the Immune Microenvironment Provided by Implanted Biomaterials on the Biological Properties of Masquelet-Induced Membranes in Rats: Metakaolin as an Alternative Spacer. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10123017.

Abstract
Macrophages play a key role in the inflammatory phase of wound repair and foreign body reactions-two important processes in the Masquelet-induced membrane technique for extremity reconstruction. The macrophage response depends largely on the nature of the biomaterials implanted. However, little is known about the influence of the macrophage microenvironment on the osteogenic properties of the induced membrane or subsequent bone regeneration. We used metakaolin, an immunogenic material, as an alternative spacer to standard polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) in a Masquelet model in rats. Four weeks after implantation, the PMMA- and metakaolin-induced membranes were harvested, and their osteogenic properties and macrophage microenvironments were investigated by histology, immunohistochemistry, mass spectroscopy and gene expression analysis. The metakaolin spacer induced membranes with higher levels of two potent pro-osteogenic factors, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2). These alternative membranes thus had greater osteogenic activity, which was accompanied by a significant expansion of the total macrophage population, including both the M1-like and M2-like subtypes. Microcomputed tomographic analysis showed that metakaolin-induced membranes supported bone regeneration more effectively than PMMA-induced membranes through better callus properties (+58%), although this difference was not significant. This study provides the first evidence of the influence of the immune microenvironment on the osteogenic properties of the induced membranes.

Abstract
The tendon-to-bone interface is a special structure connecting the tendon and bone and is crucial for mechanical load transfer between dissimilar tissues. After an injury, fibrous scar tissues replace the native tendon-to-bone interface, creating a weak spot that needs to endure extra loading, significantly decreasing the mechanical properties of the motor system. Macrophages play a critical role in tendon-bone healing and can be divided into various phenotypes, according to their inducing stimuli and function. During the early stages of tendon-bone healing, M1 macrophages are predominant, while during the later stages, M2 macrophages replace the M1 macrophages. The two macrophage phenotypes play a significant, yet distinct, role in tendon-bone healing. Growing evidence shows that regulating the macrophage phenotypes is able to promote tendon-bone healing. This review aims to summarize the impact of different macrophages on tendon-bone healing and the current immunomodulatory biomaterials for regulating macrophages, which are used to promote tendon-bone healing. Although macrophages are a promising target for tendon-bone healing, the challenges and limitations of macrophages in tendon-bone healing research are discussed, along with directions for further research.

Abstract
The innate immune response, particularly the phenotype of responding macrophages, has significant clinical implications in the remodeling outcome following implantation of biomaterials and engineered tissues. In general, facilitation of an anti-inflammatory (M2-like) phenotype is associated with tissue repair and favorable outcomes, whereas pro-inflammatory (M1-like) activation can contribute to chronic inflammation and a classic foreign body response. Biologic scaffolds composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) and, more recently, matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) embedded within the ECM are known to direct macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory phenotype and stimulate a constructive remodeling outcome. The mechanisms of MBV-mediated macrophage activation are not fully understood, but interleukin-33 (IL-33) within the MBV appears critical for M2-like activation. Previous work has shown that IL-33 is encapsulated within the lumen of MBV and stimulates phenotypical changes in macrophages independent of its canonical surface receptor stimulation-2 (ST2). In the present study, we used next-generation RNA sequencing to determine the gene signature of macrophages following exposure to MBV with and without intraluminal IL-33. MBV-associated IL-33 instructed an anti-inflammatory phenotype in both wild-type and st2-/- macrophages by upregulating M2-like and downregulating M1-like genes. The repertoire of genes regulated by ST2-independent IL-33 signaling were broadly related to the inflammatory response and crosstalk between cells of both the innate and adaptive immune systems. These results signify the importance of the MBV intraluminal protein IL-33 in stimulating a pro-remodeling M2-like phenotype in macrophages and provides guidance for the designing of next-generation biomaterials and tissue engineering strategies. Impact statement The phenotype of responding macrophages is predictive of the downstream remodeling response to an implanted biomaterial. The clinical impact of macrophage phenotype has motivated studies to investigate the factors that regulate macrophage activation. Matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBV) embedded within the extracellular matrix direct macrophages toward an anti-inflammatory (M2)-like phenotype that is indicative of a favorable remodeling response. Although the mechanisms of MBV-mediated macrophage activation are not fully understood, the intraluminal protein interleukin-33 (IL-33) is clearly a contributing signaling molecule. The present study identifies those genes regulated by MBV-associated IL-33 that promote a pro-remodeling M2-like macrophage activation state and can guide future therapies in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In this review, we will discuss the current status of extracellular vesicle (EV) delivery via biopolymeric scaffolds for therapeutic applications and the challenges associated with the development of these functionalized scaffolds. EVs are cell-derived membranous structures and are involved in many physiological processes. Naïve and engineered EVs have much therapeutic potential, but proper delivery systems are required to prevent non-specific and off-target effects. Targeted and site-specific delivery using polymeric scaffolds can address these limitations. EV delivery with scaffolds has shown improvements in tissue remodeling, wound healing, bone healing, immunomodulation, and vascular performance. Thus, EV delivery via biopolymeric scaffolds is becoming an increasingly popular approach to tissue engineering. Although there are many types of natural and synthetic biopolymers, the overarching goal for many tissue engineers is to utilize biopolymers to restore defects and function as well as support host regeneration. Functionalizing biopolymers by incorporating EVs works toward this goal. Throughout this review, we will characterize extracellular vesicles, examine various biopolymers as a vehicle for EV delivery for therapeutic purposes, potential mechanisms by which EVs exert their effects, EV delivery for tissue repair and immunomodulation, and the challenges associated with the use of EVs in scaffolds.

Abstract
Hydrogels of cross-linked mucin glycoproteins (Muc-gel) have shown strong immune-modulating properties toward macrophages in vitro, which are translated in vivo by the dampening of the foreign body response to implantation in mice. Beyond mucin hydrogels, other biomaterials such as sensors, electrodes, and other long-term implants would also benefit from such immune-modulating properties. In this work, we aimed to transfer the bioactivity observed for three-dimensional Muc-gels to the surface of two model materials by immobilizing mucin into thin films (Muc-film) using covalent layer-by-layer assembly. We tested how the surface immobilization of mucins affects macrophage responses compared to Muc-gels. We showed that Muc-films on soft polyacrylamide gels mimic Muc-gel in their modulation of macrophage responses with activated gene expression of inflammatory cytokines on day 1 and then dampening them on day 3. Also, the markers of polarized macrophages, M1 and M2, were expressed at the same level for macrophages on Muc-film-coated soft polyacrylamide gels and Muc-gel. In contrast, Muc-film-coated hard polystyrene led to a different macrophage response compared to Muc-gel, having no activated expression of inflammatory cytokines and a different M1 marker expression. This suggested that the substrate mechanical properties and mucin molecular configuration determined by substrate-mucin interactions affect mucin immune-modulating properties. We conclude that mucin immune-modulating properties can be transferred to materials by mucin surface immobilization but will be dependent on the substrate chemical and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Volumetric muscle loss (VML) is the acute loss of muscle mass due to trauma. Such injuries occur primarily in the extremities and are debilitating, as there is no clinical treatment to restore muscle function. Pro-inflammatory advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and the soluble receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) are known to increase in acute trauma patient’s serum and are correlated with increased injury severity. However, it is unclear whether AGEs and RAGE increase in muscle post-trauma. To test this, we used decellularized muscle matrix (DMM), a pro-myogenic, non-immunogenic extracellular matrix biomaterial derived from skeletal muscle. We delivered adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs) and primary myoblasts to support myogenesis and immunomodulation (N = 8 rats/group). DMM non-seeded and seeded grafts were compared to empty defect and sham controls. Then, 56 days after surgery muscle force was assessed, histology characterized, and protein levels for AGEs, RAGE, p38 MAPK, and myosin heavy chains were measured. Overall, our data showed improved muscle regeneration in ASC-treated injury sites and a regulation of RAGE and p38 MAPK signaling, while myoblast-treated injuries resulted in minor improvements. Taken together, these results suggested that ASCs combined with DMM provides a pro-myogenic microenvironment with immunomodulatory capabilities and indicates further exploration of RAGE signaling in VML.

Xiang Z, Guan X, Ma Z, Shi Q, Panteleev M, Ataullakhanov FI. Bioactive engineered scaffolds based on PCL-PEG-PCL and tumor cell-derived exosomes to minimize the foreign body reaction. BIOMATERIALS AND BIOSYSTEMS 2022; 7:100055. [PMID: 36824486 PMCID: PMC9934494 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbiosy.2022.100055] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2022] [Revised: 05/31/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Long-term presence of M1 macrophages causes serious foreign body reaction (FBR), which is the main reason for the failure of biological scaffold integration. Inducing M2 polarization of macrophages near scaffolds to reduce foreign body response has been widely researched. In this work, inspired by the special capability of tumor exosomes in macrophages M2 polarization, we integrate tumor-derived exosomes into biological scaffolds to minimize the FBR. In brief, breast cancer cell-derived exosomes are loaded into polycaprolactone-b-polyethylene glycol-b-polycaprolactone (PCL-PEG-PCL) fiber scaffold through physical adsorption and entrapment to constructed bioactive engineered scaffold. In cellular experiments, we demonstrate bioactive engineered scaffold based on PCL-PEG-PCL and exosomes can promote the transformation of macrophages from M1 to M2 through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. In addition, the exosomes release gradually from scaffolds and act on the macrophages around the scaffolds to reduce FBR in a subcutaneous implant mouse model. Compared with PCL-PEG-PCL scaffolds without exosomes, bioactive engineered scaffolds reduce significantly inflammation and fibrosis of tissues around the scaffolds. Therefore, cancer cell-derived exosomes show the potential for constructing engineered scaffolds in inhibiting the excessive inflammation and facilitating tissue formation.

A regeneration process-matching scaffold with appropriate dynamic mechanical properties and spatial adaptability for ligament reconstruction. Bioact Mater 2022; 13:82-95. [PMID: 35224293 PMCID: PMC8844703 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Ligament regeneration is a complicated process that requires dynamic mechanical properties and allowable space to regulate collagen remodeling. Poor strength and limited space of currently available grafts hinder tissue regeneration, yielding a disappointing success rate in ligament reconstruction. Matching the scaffold retreat rate with the mechanical and spatial properties of the regeneration process remains challenging. Herein, a scaffold matching the regeneration process was designed via regulating the trajectories of fibers with different degradation rates to provide dynamic mechanical properties and spatial adaptability for collagen infiltration. This core-shell structured scaffold exhibited biomimetic fiber orientation, having tri-phasic mechanical behavior and excellent strength. Besides, by the sequential material degradation, the available space of the scaffold increased from day 6 and remained stable on day 24, consistent with the proliferation and deposition phase of the native ligament regeneration process. Furthermore, mature collagen infiltration and increased bone integration in vivo confirmed the promotion of tissue regeneration by the adaptive space, maintaining an excellent failure load of 67.65% of the native ligament at 16 weeks. This study proved the synergistic effects of dynamic strength and adaptive space. The scaffold matching the regeneration process is expected to open new approaches in ligament reconstruction. Regeneration process-matching scaffold was made via regulating fiber trajectory. The scaffold showed tri-phasic mechanical behavior and fatigue properties. Matching repair process with dynamic mechanical property and spatial adaptability. A feasible substitute for the T/L reconstruction by spatial adaptability.

Abstract
Vascular bypass surgery continues to use autologous grafts and often suffers from a shortage of donor grafts. Decellularized xenografts derived from porcine veins provide a promising candidate because of their abundant availability and low immunogenicity. Unfortunately, transplantation outcomes are far from satisfactory because of insufficient regeneration and adverse pathologic remodeling. Herein, a nitrate-functionalized prosthesis has been incorporated into a decellularized porcine vein graft to fabricate a bio-hybrid vascular graft with local delivery of nitric oxide (NO). Exogenous NO efficiently promotes vascular regeneration and attenuates intimal hyperplasia and vascular calcification in both rabbit and mouse models. The underlying mechanism was investigated using a Sca1 2A-CreER; Rosa-RFP genetic-lineage-tracing mouse model that reveals that Sca1+ stem/progenitor cells (SPCs) are major contributors to vascular regeneration and remodeling, and NO plays a critical role in regulating SPC fate. These results support the translational potential of this off-the-shelf vascular graft.

A Comparative In Vitro and In Vivo Study of Osteogenicity by Using Two Biomaterials and Two Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell Subtypes. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:913539. [PMID: 35712655 PMCID: PMC9195506 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.913539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Bone repair induced by stem cells and biomaterials may represent an alternative to autologous bone grafting. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs), easily accessible in every human, are prototypical cells that can be tested, alone or with a biomaterial, for creating new osteoblasts. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of two biomaterials—biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and bioactive glass (BG)—when loaded with either adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) or newborn nasal ecto-mesenchymal stem cells (NE-MSCs), the latter being collected for further repair of lip cleft-associated bone loss. Materials and Methods: BMMSCs were collected from two adults and NE-MSCs from two newborn infants. An in vitro study was performed in order to determine the best experimental conditions for adhesion, viability, proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation on BCP or BG granules. Bone-associated morphological changes and gene expression modifications were quantified using histological and molecular techniques. The in vivo study was based on the subcutaneous implantation in nude mice of the biomaterials, loaded or not with one of the two cell types. Eight weeks after, bone formation was assessed using histological and electron microscopy techniques. Results: Both cell types—BMMSC and NE-MSC—display the typical stem cell surface markers—CD73+, CD90+, CD105+, nestin - and exhibit the MSC-associated osteogenic, chondrogenic and adipogenic multipotency. NE-MSCs produce less collagen and alkaline phosphatase than BMMSCs. At the transcript level, NE-MSCs express more abundantly three genes coding for bone sialoprotein, osteocalcin and osteopontin while BMMSCs produce extra copies of RunX2. BMMSCs and NE-MSCs adhere and survive on BCP and BG. In vivo experiments reveal that bone formation is only observed with BMMSCs transplanted on BCP biomaterial. Conclusion: Although belonging to the same superfamily of mesenchymal stem cells, BMMSCs and NE-MSCs exhibit striking differences, in vitro and in vivo. For future clinical applications, the association of BMMSCs with BCP biomaterial seems to be the most promising.
