Abstract
Poly(lactic-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biocompatible bio-scaffold material, but its own hydrophobic and electrically neutral surface limits its application as a cell scaffold. Polymer materials, mimics ECM materials, and organic material have often been used as coating materials for PLGA cell scaffolds to improve the poor cell adhesion of PLGA and enhance tissue adaptation. These coating materials can be modified on the PLGA surface via simple physical or chemical methods, and coating multiple materials can simultaneously confer different functions to the PLGA scaffold; not only does this ensure stronger cell adhesion but it also modulates cell behavior and function. This approach to coating could facilitate the production of more PLGA-based cell scaffolds. This review focuses on the PLGA surface-modified materials, methods, and applications, and will provide guidance for PLGA surface modification.

Abstract
Peptides, short protein fragments, can emulate the functions of their full-length native counterparts. Peptides are considered potent recombinant protein alternatives due to their specificity, high stability, low production cost, and ability to be easily tailored and immobilized. Stem cell proliferation and differentiation processes are orchestrated by an intricate interaction between numerous growth factors and proteins and their target receptors and ligands. Various growth factors, functional proteins, and cellular matrix-derived peptides efficiently enhance stem cell adhesion, proliferation, and directed differentiation. For that, peptides can be immobilized on a culture plate or conjugated to scaffolds, such as hydrogels or synthetic matrices. In this review, we assess the applications of a variety of peptides in stem cell adhesion, culture, organoid assembly, proliferation, and differentiation, describing the shortcomings of recombinant proteins and their full-length counterparts. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges of peptide applications in stem cell culture and materials design, as well as provide a brief outlook on future directions to advance peptide applications in boosting stem cell quality and scalability for clinical applications in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Bone presents an intrinsic ability for self-regeneration and repair, however critical defects and large fractures require invasive and time-consuming clinical interventions. As an alternative to current therapy, bone tissue engineering (BTE) has primarily aimed to recreate the bone microenvironment by delivering key biomolecules and/or by modification of scaffolds to guide cell fate towards the osteogenic lineage or other phenotypes that may benefit the bone regeneration mechanism. Considering that bone cells communicate, in their native microenvironment, through biochemical and physical signals, most strategies fail when considering only chemical, geometrical or mechanical cues. This is not representative of the physiological conditions, where the cells are simultaneously in contact and stimulated by several cues. Therefore, this review explores the synergistic effect of biochemical/physical cues in regulating cellular events, namely cell adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation, and mineralization, highlighting the importance of the combined modifications for the development of innovative bone regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a promising approach to recover insufficient bone in dental implantations. However, the clinical application of BTE scaffolds is limited by their low mechanical strength and lack of osteoinduction. In an attempt to circumvent these limitations and improve osteogenesis, we introduced magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) into a core-shell porous electrospun scaffold and evaluated their impact on the physical, mechanical, and biological properties of the scaffold. We used poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)/polycaprolactone/beta-tricalcium phosphate (PPT) scaffolds with and without γ-Fe2O3 encapsulation, namely PPT-Fe scaffolds and PPT scaffolds, respectively. The γ-Fe2O3 used in the PPT-Fe scaffolds was coated with polyglucose sorbitol carboxymethylether and was biocompatible. Structurally, PPT-Fe scaffolds showed uniform iron distribution encapsulated within the resorbable PPT scaffolds, and these scaffolds supported sustainable iron release. Furthermore, compared with PPT scaffolds, PPT-Fe scaffolds showed significantly better physical and mechanical properties, including wettability, superparamagnetism, hardness, tensile strength, and elasticity modulus. In vitro tests of rat adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rADSCs) seeded onto the scaffolds showed increased expression of integrin β1, alkaline phosphatase, and osteogenesis-related genes. In addition, enhanced in vivo bone regeneration was observed after implanting PPT-Fe scaffolds in rat calvarial bone defects. Thus, we can conclude that the incorporation of IONPs into porous scaffolds for long-term release can provide a new strategy for BTE scaffold optimization and is a promising approach that can offer enhanced osteogenic capacity in clinical applications.

Abstract
Mycelia, the vegetative part of fungi, are emerging as the avant-garde generation of natural, sustainable, and biodegradable materials for a wide range of applications. They are constituted of a self-growing and interconnected fibrous network of elongated cells, and their chemical and physical properties can be adjusted depending on the conditions of growth and the substrate they are fed upon. So far, only extracts and derivatives from mycelia have been evaluated and tested for biomedical applications. In this study, the entire fibrous structures of mycelia of the edible fungi Pleurotus ostreatus and Ganoderma lucidum are presented as self-growing bio-composites that mimic the extracellular matrix of human body tissues, ideal as tissue engineering bio-scaffolds. To this purpose, the two mycelial strains are inactivated by autoclaving after growth, and their morphology, cell wall chemical composition, and hydrodynamical and mechanical features are studied. Finally, their biocompatibility and direct interaction with primary human dermal fibroblasts are investigated. The findings demonstrate the potentiality of mycelia as all-natural and low-cost bio-scaffolds, alternative to the tissue engineering systems currently in place.

Abstract
Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) are regarded as an important resource in the field of maxillofacial bone regeneration because of their favorable properties when compared with other stem cells. Hence, finding suitable materials that could extend the application of HBMSCs has become an emerging medical topic and socioeconomic problem. In this work, polydopamine (PDA)-Ag surface was fabricated by PDA assisted photoreduction method, and the obtained PDA-Ag composite surface significantly promoted HBMSCs adhesion and proliferation. This effect is highly related to the amount of Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) present on the PDA surface. The behavior of HBMSCs on PDA-Ag surface could be spatially manipulated by controlling the distribution of Ag NPs on PDA surface (by controlling UV light). The general adhesion property allows the PDA-Ag surface to be fabricated on various substrates, making it a simple, general and controllable method for the fabrication of bioactive surface for HBMSCs.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells represent an important resource, for bone regenerative medicine and therapeutic applications. This review focuses on new advancements and biophysical tools which exploit different physical and chemical markers of mesenchymal stem cell populations, to finely characterize phenotype changes along their osteogenic differentiation process. Special attention is paid to recently developed label-free methods, which allow monitoring cell populations with minimal invasiveness. Among them, quantitative phase imaging, suitable for single-cell morphometric analysis, and nanoindentation, functional to cellular biomechanics investigation. Moreover, the pool of ion channels expressed in cells during differentiation is discussed, with particular interest for calcium homoeostasis.Altogether, a biophysical perspective of osteogenesis is proposed, offering a valuable tool for the assessment of the cell stage, but also suggesting potential physiological links between apparently independent phenomena.

Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION Do endometrial stromal cells from primary infertile patients with severe ovarian endometriosis display differential secretory profiles of inflammation-associated cytokines during the implantation window that may cause infertility? DESIGN Forty-eight cytokines were measured in conditioned medium of isolated endometrial stromal cells obtained from primary infertile patients without endometriosis (control group, n = 12) or with stage IV ovarian endometriosis (ovarian endometriosis group, n = 14) using multiplex assays. Key cytokines showing differential secretory profiles were validated using Western immunoblotting. Cellular phenotypic validation was carried out in vitro by comparing proliferation and migration capacity between control (n = 6) and ovarian endometriosis (n = 7) groups. RESULTS CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CXCL10, FGF2, IFNG, IL1RN, IL5, TNFA, and VEGF could be detected only in the conditioned media of stromal cells obtained from the ovarian endometriosis group. Among other cytokines detected in the conditioned media of both groups, CCL2 (P = 0.0018), CSF3 (P = 0.0017), IL1B (P = 0.0066), IL4 (P = 0.036), IL6 (P = 0.0039) and IL13 (P = 0.036) were found to be higher, whereas the concentration of IL18 was lower (P = 0.023) in the ovarian endometriosis group. Concentrations of CCL2, IL1B, IL4 and IL13 in conditioned medium reflected significant diagnostic performance for predicting ovarian endometriosis. Cellular phenotypic validation in vitro revealed an enhanced proliferative phenotype (P = 0.046) with no change in cell migratory capacity of endometrial stromal cells from the ovarian endometriosis group. CONCLUSIONS Endometrial stromal cells derived from severe ovarian endometriosis samples displayed a hyperinflammatory and hyperproliferative bias in the endometrial stroma during the 'window of implantation' putatively causing loss of fecundability.

Abstract
Difficulty breathing due to tracheal stenosis (i.e. narrowed airway) diminishes the quality of life and can potentially be life-threatening. Tracheal stenosis can be caused by congenital anomalies, external trauma, infection, intubation-related injury, and tumors. Common treatment methods for tracheal stenosis requiring surgical intervention include end-to-end anastomosis, slide tracheoplasty and/or laryngotracheal reconstruction. Although the current methods have demonstrated promise for treatment of tracheal stenosis, a clear need exists for the development of new biomaterials that can hold the trachea open after the stenosed region has been surgically opened, and that can support healing without the need to harvest autologous tissue from the patient. The current study therefore evaluated the use of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds encapsulating 3D-printed PCL rings to patch induced defects in rabbit tracheas. The nanofibers were a blend of polycaprolactone (PCL) and polylactide-co-caprolactone (PLCL), and encapsulated either the cell adhesion peptide, RGD, or antimicrobial compound, ceragenin-131 (CSA). Blank PCL/PLCL and PCL were employed as control groups. Electrospun patches were evaluated in a rabbit tracheal defect model for 12 weeks, which demonstrated re-epithelialization of the luminal side of the defect. No significant difference in lumen volume was observed for the PCL/PLCL patches compared to the uninjured positive control. Only the RGD group did not lead to a significant decrease in the minimum cross-sectional area compared to the uninjured positive control. CSA reduced bacteria growth in vitro, but did not add clear value in vivo. Adequate tissue in-growth into the patches and minimal tissue overgrowth was observed inside the patch material. Areas of future investigation include tuning the material degradation time to balance cell adhesion and structural integrity.

Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have attracted intense interest due to their powerful intrinsic properties of self-regeneration, immunomodulation and multi-potency, as well as being readily available and easy to isolate and culture. Notwithstanding, MSC based therapy suffers reduced efficacy due to several challenges which include unfavorable microenvironmental factors in vitro and in vivo. Body In the quest to circumvent these challenges, several modification techniques have been applied to the naïve MSC to improve its inherent therapeutic properties. These modification approaches can be broadly divided into two groups to include genetic modification and preconditioning modification (using drugs, growth factors and other molecules). This field has witnessed great progress and continues to gather interest and novelty. We review these innovative approaches in not only maintaining, but also enhancing the inherent biological activities and therapeutics of MSCs with respect to migration, homing to target site, adhesion, survival and reduced premature senescence. We discuss the application of the improved modified MSC in some selected human diseases. Possible ways of yet better enhancing the therapeutic outcome and overcoming challenges of MSC modification in the future are also elaborated. Conclusion The importance of prosurvival and promigratory abilities of MSCs in their therapeutic applications can never be overemphasized. These abilities are maintained and even further enhanced via MSC modifications against the inhospitable microenvironment during culture and transplantation. This is a turning point in MSC-based therapy with promising preclinical studies and higher future prospect.

Bio-orthogonal click reaction-enabled highly specific in situ cellularization of tissue engineering scaffolds. Biomaterials 2019; 230:119615. [PMID: 31776020 DOI: 10.1016/j.biomaterials.2019.119615] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Revised: 10/31/2019] [Accepted: 11/08/2019] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Tissue engineering generally utilizes natural or synthetic scaffolds to repair or replace damaged tissues. However, due to the lack of guidance of biological signals, most of the implanted scaffolds have always suffered from poor in vivo cellularization. Herein, we demonstrate a bio-orthogonal reaction-based strategy to realize in situ specific and fast cellularization of tissue engineering scaffold. DBCO-modified PCL-PEG (PCL-PEG-DBCO) polymer was synthesized and then fabricated into PCL-PEG-DBCO film through electrospinning. Meanwhile, azide-labeled macrophages (N3 (+) macrophages) were obtained through metabolic glycoengineering. Through a series of in vitro dynamic and in vivo characterization, DBCO-modified films were noted to dramatically increase the selective capture efficiency and survival rate of N3 (+) cells. Additionally, there is negligible influence of covalent conjugation on cell viability and proliferation, indicating the feasibility of the bio-orthogonal click reaction-based tissue engineering strategy. Overall, this work shows the advantages of an in situ bio-orthogonal click reaction in realizing highly specific, efficient, and long-lasting scaffold cellularization. We anticipate that this general strategy would be widely applicable and useful in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in the near future.

Effects of diameters and crystals of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays on blood compatibility and endothelial cell behaviors. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 184:110521. [PMID: 31569001 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2019.110521] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2019] [Revised: 08/20/2019] [Accepted: 09/21/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNTAs) have attracted extensive attention in the fields of biomaterials and biomedicine due to their unique tubular structure and good biocompatibility. In this paper, TNTAs with different nanotube diameters and lengths were in situ prepared on the titanium surface by the anodic oxidation, and their crystal structures were further changed by annealing treatment. The effects of TNTAs with different diameters and crystals on the blood compatibility and endothelial cell behaviors were investigated. The results showed that TNTAs with the diameter of 30∼90 nm can be obtained by controlling the anodization voltage, and annealing treatment did not obviously change the diameters and lengths of the nanotube arrays. However, annealing treatment can transform the amorphous TNTAs into the anatase structure. The diameter and crystal structure of the nanotube arrays played a key role in the surface wettability and protein adsorption. The nanotube array with larger diameter displayed better surface hydrophilicity as compared to the pristine titanium, and annealing treatment further enhanced the hydrophilicity. As compared to the pristine titanium, the nanotube array structure had the characteristic of selective protein adsorption, and the nanotube array can promote the bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorption and prevent the fibrinogen (FIB) adsorption, however, the increase of nanotube diameter could reduce BSA adsorption and increase FIB adsorption. Besides, the nanotube array with anatase structure can promote BSA adsorption while reduce FIB adsorption. Therefore, the TNTAs with smaller diameter and anatase crystal had good blood compatibility and cell compatibility, they can not only reduce platelet adhesion and hemolysis rate but also increase endothelial cell adhesion and proliferation. In conclusion, the nanotube arrays of the present study can be used to improve the cell compatibility and blood compatibility of the titanium implants.

Abstract
Hydrogel materials have been successfully used as matrices to explore the role of biophysical and biochemical stimuli in directing stem cell behavior. Here, we present our findings on the role of modulus in guiding bone marrow fetal mesenchymal stem cell (BMfMSC) fate determination using semi-synthetic hydrogels made from PEG-fibrinogen (PF). The BMfMSCs were cultivated in the PF for up to 2 weeks to study the influence of matrix modulus (i.e., cross-linking density of the PF) on BMfMSC survival, morphology and integrin expression. Both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) culture conditions were employed to examine the BMfMSCs as single cells or as cell spheroids. The hydrogel modulus affected the rate of BMfMSC metabolic activity, the integrin expression levels and the cell morphology, both as single cells and as spheroids. The cell seeding density was also found to be an important parameter of the system in that high densities were favorable in facilitating more cell-to-cell contacts that favored higher metabolic activity. Our findings provide important insight about design of a hydrogel scaffold that can be used to optimize the biological response of BMfMSCs for various tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Protein adsorption plays a key role in bone repair and regeneration by affecting cell behavior. In this study, a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramic, with excellent osteoinductivity, was chosen to investigate its serum protein adsorption profile using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ) proteomics technology. 281 differentially adsorbed serum proteins and the involved biological processes were confirmed by the combination of Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis. The differentially adsorbed adhesive proteins in the extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction pathway were further selected to investigate their roles in the behavior of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Pre-coating and blockage experiments revealed that both adsorbed vitronectin (VN) and laminin (LN) could promote the attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of MSCs on the BCP ceramic by interacting with different integrin subunits. It is revealed that the up-regulated expressions of integrin α2, αv and β3, β5 could contribute to VN-mediated MSC functions, and the elevated gene expressions of α6 and β1, β4 could be related to the LN-participated process. The above results proved that the preferential protein adsorption on a biomaterial should be vital for modulating MSC functions in the course of material-mediated osteoinductivity.

Abstract
Tracheal stenosis caused by congenital anomalies, tumors, trauma, or intubation-related damage can cause severe breathing issues, diminishing the quality of life, and potentially becoming fatal. Current treatment methods include laryngotracheal reconstruction or slide tracheoplasty. Laryngotracheal reconstruction utilizes rib cartilage harvested from the patient, requiring a second surgical site. Slide tracheoplasty involves a complex surgical procedure to splay open the trachea and reconnect both segments to widen the lumen. A clear need exists for new and innovative approaches that can be easily adopted by surgeons, and to avoid harvesting autologous tissue from the patient. This study evaluated the use of an electrospun patch, consisting of randomly layered polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers enveloping 3D-printed PCL rings, to create a mechanically robust, suturable, air-tight, and bioresorbable graft for the treatment of tracheal defects. The study design incorporated two distinct uses of PCL: electrospun fibers to promote tissue integration, while remaining air-tight when wet, and 3D-printed rings to hold the airway open and provide external support and protection during the healing process. Electrospun, reinforced tracheal patches were evaluated in an ovine model, in which all sheep survived for 10 weeks, although an overgrowth of fibrous tissue surrounding the patch was observed to significantly narrow the airway. Minimal tissue integration of the surrounding tissue and the electrospun fibers suggested the need for further improvement. Potential areas for further improvement include a faster degradation rate, agents to increase cellular adhesion, and/or an antibacterial coating to reduce the initial bacterial load.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of fibronectin (FN) on cartilage regeneration through the activation of chondrogenic progenitor cells (CPCs). Cells were isolated from the knee cartilage of mice and cultured in the presence of various concentrations of FN. Proliferation, migration, and chondrogenic differentiation assays were performed in vitro. In some experiments, CPCs were preincubated with anti-integrin α5β1 antibody for 60 min before FN treatment to block the integrin α5β1 receptor. Soluble FN was mixed with Pluronic F-127 and injected into the joint cavity in an early-stage osteoarthritis model. Cartilage repair was evaluated histologically, biochemically, and biomechanically. In vitro, we observed that the isolated CPCs, which exhibited stem cell-relevant markers, proliferated most at a concentration of 20 μg/mL FN (p < 0.05). In addition, FN enhanced the proliferation, migration, and chondrogenic differentiation capacity of CPCs, and the enhancement was significantly decreased by blockade of the integrin α5β1 receptor (p < 0.05). In vivo, FN also significantly promoted cartilage repair along with increased CPC activation and integrin α5β1 expression (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that FN enhances CPC proliferation, migration, and chondrogenic differentiation through the integrin α5β1-dependent signaling pathway. Based on these results, a novel and promising therapy focused on targeted activation of CPCs by FN could be developed for the treatment of cartilage injuries in a clinical setting.

Abstract
As an alternative to natural extracellular matrix (ECM) macromolecules, cell-adhesion peptides (CAPs) have had tremendous impact on the design of cell culture platforms, implants, and wound dressings. However, only a handful of CAPs have been utilized. The discrepancy in ECM composition strongly affects cell behavior, so it is paramount to reproduce such differences in synthetic systems. This Opinion article presents strategies inspired from high-throughput screening techniques implemented in drug discovery to exploit the potential of a growing CAP library. These strategies are expected to promote the use of a broader spectrum of CAPs, which in turn could lead to improved cell culture models, implants, and wound dressings.

Abstract
A micro-patterned cell adhesive surface was prepared for future design of medical devices. One-dimensional polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micro-patterns were prepared by a photolithography process. Afterwards, recombinant filamentous phages that displayed a short binding motif with a cell adhesive peptide (-RGD-) on p8 proteins were immobilized on PDMS microgrooves through simple contact printing to study the cellular response of rat H9c2 cardiomyocyte. While the cell density decreased on PDMS micro-patterns, we observed enhanced cell proliferation and cell to surface interaction on the RGD-phage coated PDMS microgrooves. The RGD-phage coating also supported a better alignment of cell spreading rather than isotropic cell growths as we observed on non-pattered PDMS surface.
