Adv Drug Deliv Rev 2024; 210:115342. [PMID: 38797316 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2024.115342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
Chronic non-healing wounds persist as a substantial burden for healthcare systems, influenced by factors such as aging, diabetes, and obesity. In contrast to the traditionally pro-regenerative emphasis of therapies, the recognition of the immune system integral role in wound healing has significantly grown, instigating an approach shift towards immunological processes. Thus, this review explores the wound healing process, highlighting the engagement of the immune system, and delving into the behaviors of innate and adaptive immune cells in chronic wound scenarios. Moreover, the article investigates biomaterial-based strategies for the modulation of the immune system, elucidating how the adjustment of their physicochemical properties or their synergistic combination with other agents such as drugs, proteins or mesenchymal stromal cells can effectively modulate the behaviors of different immune cells. Finally this review explores various strategies based on synthetic and biological nanostructures, including extracellular vesicles, to finely tune the immune system as natural immunomodulators or therapeutic nanocarriers with promising biophysical properties.

Abstract
In this study, a three-component biofilm for rapid wound dressing consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/tannic acid (TA)/with CuO/SiO2 with different percentages (0, 5, 10, and 15 wt% NPs) is evaluated. In addition to controlling bleeding and absorption of blood and wound secretions, it protects the damaged tissue from the attack of microbes. It protects against viruses and thus reduces the treatment time. Analysis of biofilms morphology is performed by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), phases in biofilms were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, chemical bonds, and functional groups are analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and mechanical tests are performed to evaluate the strength of the samples. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) is applied to estimate the thermal stability of the biopolymer films with various percentages of CuO/SiO2 nanoparticles. Also, antibacterial test, bioactivity of the biofilms, the percentage of swelling ratio, and porosity of the samples were examined by immersing the samples in simulated body fluid (SBF) and Phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 14 days in vitro. The composite makeup of the TA/PVA sample, comprising 15 wt % CuO/SiO2 and containing 15 wt% of nanoparticles, exhibited superior heat resistance compared to other samples by an increase of 50 °C. This improvement can be attributed to the nanoparticles reaching their saturation point. The swelling ratio was assessed in both SBF and PBS, and in both instances, the sample increased by up to 10 wt% before decreasing, indicating the saturation of the nanoparticles.

Abstract
Severe bone defects can be caused by various factors, such as tumor resection, severe trauma, and infection. However, bone regeneration capacity is limited up to a critical-size defect, and further intervention is required. Currently, the most common clinical method to repair bone defects is bone grafting, where autografts are the "gold standard." However, the disadvantages of autografts, including inflammation, secondary trauma and chronic disease, limit their application. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an attractive strategy for repairing bone defects and has been widely researched. In particular, hydrogels with a three-dimensional network can be used as scaffolds for BTE owing to their hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and large porosity. Self-healing hydrogels respond rapidly, autonomously, and repeatedly to induced damage and can maintain their original properties (i.e., mechanical properties, fluidity, and biocompatibility) following self-healing. This review focuses on self-healing hydrogels and their applications in bone defect repair. Moreover, we discussed the recent progress in this research field. Despite the significant existing research achievements, there are still challenges that need to be addressed to promote clinical research of self-healing hydrogels in bone defect repair and increase the market penetration.

Abstract
Pancreatic islet transplantation efficacy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) management is limited by hypoxia-related graft attrition and need for systemic immunosuppression. To overcome these challenges, we developed the Neovascularized Implantable Cell Homing and Encapsulation (NICHE) device, which integrates direct vascularization for facile mass transfer and localized immunosuppressant delivery for islet rejection prophylaxis. Here, we investigated NICHE efficacy for allogeneic islet transplantation and long-term diabetes reversal in an immunocompetent, male rat model. We demonstrated that allogeneic islets transplanted within pre-vascularized NICHE were engrafted, revascularized, and functional, reverting diabetes in rats for over 150 days. Notably, we confirmed that localized immunosuppression prevented islet rejection without inducing toxicity or systemic immunosuppression. Moreover, for translatability efforts, we showed NICHE biocompatibility and feasibility of deployment as well as short-term allogeneic islet engraftment in an MHC-mismatched nonhuman primate model. In sum, the NICHE holds promise as a viable approach for safe and effective islet transplantation and long-term T1D management.

Abstract
Most treatments for spinal cancer are accompanied by serious side effects including subsequent tumor recurrence, spinal cord compression, and tissue adhesion, thus a highly effective treatment is crucial for preserving spinal and neurological functionalities. Herein, trilayered electrospun doxorubicin@bovine serum albumin/poly(ε-caprolactone)/manganese dioxide (DOX@BSA/PCL/MnO2) nanofibers with excellent antiadhesion ability, dual glutathione/hydrogen peroxide (GSH/H2O2) responsiveness, and cascade release of Mn2+/DOX was fabricated for realizing an efficient spinal tumor therapy. In detail, Fenton-like reactions between MnO2 in the fibers outermost layer and intra-/extracellular glutathione within tumors promoted the first-order release of Mn2+. Then, sustained release of DOX from the fibers' core layer occurred along with the infiltration of degradation fluid. Such release behavior avoided toxic side effects of drugs, regulated inflammatory tumor microenvironment, amplified tumor elimination efficiency through synergistic chemo-/chemodynamic therapies, and inhibited recurrence of spinal tumors. More interestingly, magnetic resonance and photoacoustic dual-modal imaging enabled visualizations of tumor therapy and material degradation in vivo, achieving rapid pathological analysis and diagnosis. On the whole, such versatile hierarchical-structured nanofibers provided a reference for rapid and potent theranostic of spinal cancer in future clinical translations.

Abstract
The past decade has seen a growing appreciation for the role of the innate immune response in mediating repair and biomaterial directed tissue regeneration. The long-held view of the host immune/inflammatory response as an obstacle limiting stem cell regenerative activity, has given way to a fresh appreciation of the pivotal role the macrophage plays in orchestrating the resolution of inflammation and launching the process of remodelling and repair. In the context of bone, work over the past decade has established an essential coordinating role for macrophages in supporting bone repair and sustaining biomaterial driven osteogenesis. In this review evidence for the role of the macrophage in bone regeneration and repair is surveyed before discussing recent biomaterial and drug-delivery based approaches that target macrophage modulation with the goal of accelerating and enhancing bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The development of a new multi-functional poly(L)-lactide (PLLA) nanofibrous scaffold with excellent antibacterial and reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging capability is quite important in tissue engineering. In this study, polydopamine (PDA)/PLLA nanofibers were prepared by combining electrospinning and post in-situ polymerization. The post in-situ polymerization of PDA on the PLLA nanofiber enable PDA uniformly distribute on PLLA nanofiber surface. PDA/PLLA nanofibrous composites also achieved stronger mechanical strength, hydrophilicity, good oxidation resistance and enhanced near-infrared photothermal effect. The near-infrared photothermal effect from PDA made the PDA/PLLA a good antibacterial material. The in vitro ROS scavenging ability of the PDA made PDA/PLLA be beneficial to damaged tissue repair. These results indicate that PDA/PLLA nanofibrous scaffold can be used as a tissue engineering scaffold material with versatile biomedical applications.

Cell-surface interactions stimulate adhesion and activation of macrophages whose acquaintance can assist in designing novel biomaterials that promote favorable macrophage-biomaterial surface interactions for clinical application. This study is designed to determine the distribution and number of macrophages as a means of biocompatibility evaluation of two newly synthesized materials [silver/poly(vinyl alcohol) (Ag/PVA) and silver/poly(vinyl alcohol)/graphene (Ag/PVA/Gr) nanocomposite hydrogels] in vivo, with approval of the Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade. Macrophages and giant cells were analyzed in tissue sections stained by routine H&E and immunohistochemical methods (CD68+). Statistical relevance was determined in the statistical software package SPSS 20 (IBM corp). The results of the study in terms of the number of giant cells localized around the implant showed that their number was highest on the seventh postoperative day (p.o.d.) in the group implanted with Ag/PVA hydrogels, and on the 30th p.o.d. in the group implanted with Ag/PVA/Gr. Interestingly, the number of macrophages measured in the capsular and pericapsular space was highest in the group implanted with the commercial Suprasorb© material. The increased macrophage number, registered around the Ag/PVA/Gr implant on 60th p.o.d. indicates that the addition of graphene can, in a specific way, modulate different biological responses of tissues in the process of wound healing, regeneration, and integration.

Abstract
Fabricating hydrogel scaffolds that are both bioreactive toward fibroblasts while still mechanically compatible with surrounding tissue is a major challenge in tissue engineering. This is because the outcome of scaffold implantation is largely determined by fibroblasts differentiating toward myofibroblasts, which is characterized by the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). Previous studies promoted fibroblasts differentiation by increasing scaffold substrate stiffness. However, the stiffness of scaffold has to be compatible with surrounding tissue, as mismatched stiffness may cause initial hyperplasia and inappropriate endothelial layer development. Therefore, we adjusted the hydrogel chemical component, and thus viscoelasticity to affect the mechano-signaling of fibroblasts and promote fibroblasts differentiation. Elastic gellan gum and viscoelastic gelatin were hybridized at different ratios to fabricate hydrogel scaffold with varied stress-relaxation. Vitronectin (VN) was used to further regulate the interaction between fibroblasts and the substrate. Fibroblast differentiation, characterized by α-SMA area per cell, increased from~3000-4000 μm2/cell on less viscoelastic gels to ~5000 μm2/cell on the most viscoelastic gel. Fibroblasts seeded on hydrogels had a slower migration rate on more viscoelastic hydrogels (slowest at 38 ± 14 μm/h) compared to the migration speed on less viscoelastic hydrogels (74 ± 20 μm/h). VN slowed the migration speed on all hydrogels. The organization of collagen deposited by fibroblasts cultured on the hydrogels was characterized by second harmonic generation (SHG), which showed that collagen was more organized (parallel) on more viscoelastic hydrogels. In summary, we provided a novel strategy to fabricate hydrogel scaffolds that can promote fibroblasts differentiation while keeping the stiffness compatible with blood vessels. The most viscoelastic hydrogel studied here meets these requirements best.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 408:124956. [PMID: 33421852 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.124956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2020] [Revised: 12/21/2020] [Accepted: 12/22/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Lignocellulose is the primary component of many biomasses, including corn straw. Herein, lignocellulose in corn straw was disassembled into the individual polymers, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin via a mild and facile method. Subsequently, three porous carbon materials were prepared by carbonization and chemical activation of cellulose (PCCC), hemicellulose (PCHC), and lignin (PCLC). The three materials showed higher specific surface areas (2565.7, 2996.1, and 2590.3 m2 g-1) and higher porosities (1.4261, 1.5876, and 1.2406 cm3 g-1) than that of PCCS, a porous carbon material derived from raw corn straw (1993 m2 g-1 and 1.19 cm3 g-1). Of note, PCCC and PCHC exhibited higher adsorption (1025.5 and 950.1 mg g-1) of brilliant green (BG), than PCCS (876.7 mg g-1). Besides, the BG adsorption capacities of the designed materials were higher than that of most adsorbents, and 2-2.5 times higher than that of graphite oxide (416.7 mg g-1). These study results indicate that the disassembly of lignocellulosic biomass into cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin is an effective strategy for preparing various porous carbon materials with enhanced performances.

Preparation and Antifouling Property of Polyurethane Film Modified by PHMG and HA Using Layer-by-Layer Assembly. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13060934. [PMID: 33803560 PMCID: PMC8002859 DOI: 10.3390/polym13060934] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2021] [Revised: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
To reduce the possibility of bacterial infection and implant-related complications, surface modification on polyurethane (PU) film is an ideal solution to endow hydrophobic PU with antibacterial and antifouling properties. In this work, a variety of polyhexamethylene guanidine/ hyaluronic acid (PHMG/HA) multilayer films were self-assembled layer-by-layer on PU films using polyanions, carboxyl-activated HA, and polycations PHMG by controlling the concentration of these polyelectrolytes as well as the number of layers self-assembled. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) spectra, water contact angle (WCA), and A Atomic force microscope (AFM) of PU and modified PU films were studied. Protein adsorption and bacterial adhesion as well as the cytotoxicity against L929 of the film on selected PU-(PHMG/HA)5/5-5 were estimated. The results showed that PU-(PHMG/HA)5/5-5 had the best hydrophilicity among all the prepared films, possessing the lowest level of protein adsorption. Meanwhile, this film showed efficient broad-spectrum antibacterial performance as well as significant resistance of bacterial adhesion of more than a 99.9% drop for the selected bacteria. Moreover, almost no influence on cell viability of L929 enhanced the biocompatibility of film. Therefore, the modified PU films with admirable protein absorption resistance, antimicrobial performance, and biocompatibility would have promising applications in biomedical aspect.
