Abstract
Objective To review the research progress on the application of three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology in auricle repair and reconstruction. Methods The recent domestic and international research literature on 3D printing and auricle repair and reconstruction was extensively reviewed, and the concept of 3D bioprinting technology and research progress in auricle repair and reconstruction were summarized. Results The auricle possesses intricate anatomical structure and functionality, necessitating precise tissue reconstruction and morphological replication. Hence, 3D printing technology holds immense potential in auricle reconstruction. In contrast to conventional 3D printing technology, 3D bioprinting technology not only enables the simulation of auricular outer shape but also facilitates the precise distribution of cells within the scaffold during fabrication by incorporating cells into bioink. This approach mimics the composition and structure of natural tissues, thereby favoring the construction of biologically active auricular tissues and enhancing tissue repair outcomes. Conclusion 3D bioprinting technology enables the reconstruction of auricular tissues, avoiding potential complications associated with traditional autologous cartilage grafting. The primary challenge in current research lies in identifying bioinks that meet both the mechanical requirements of complex tissues and biological criteria.

Abstract
Islet or β-cell transplantation is currently considered to be the ideal treatment for diabetes, and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of a bionic pancreas with physiological stiffness is considered to be promising for the encapsulation and transplantation of β-cells. In this study, a 5%GelMA/2%AlgMA hybrid hydrogel with pancreatic physiological stiffness was constructed and used for β-cell encapsulation, 3D bioprinting, and in vivo transplantation to evaluate glycemic control in diabetic mice. The hybrid hydrogel had good cytocompatibility and could induce insulin-producing cells (IPCs) to form pseudoislet structures and improve insulin secretion. Furthermore, we validated the importance of betacellulin (BTC) in IPCs differentiation and confirmed that IPCs self-regulation was achieved by altering the nuclear and cytoplasmic distributions of BTC expression. In vivo transplantation of diabetic mice quickly restored blood glucose levels. In the future, 3D bioprinting of β-cells using biomimetic hydrogels will provide a promising platform for clinical islet transplantation for the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent joint disease primarily induced by overstrain, leading to disability and significantly impacting patients' quality of life. However, current OA studies lack an ideal in vitro model, which can recapitulate the high peripheral strain of the joint and precisely model the disease onset process. In this paper, we propose a novel cartilage-on-a-chip platform that incorporates a biohybrid hydrogel comprising Neodymium (NdFeB)/Poly-GelMA-HAMA remote magneto-control hydrogel film. This platform facilitates chondrocyte culture and stress loading, enabling the investigation of chondrocytes under various stress stimuli. The Neodymium (NdFeB)/Poly-GelMA-HAMA hydrogel film exhibits magneto-responsive shape-transition behavior, further dragging the chondrocytes cultured in hydrogels under magnetic stimulation. It was investigated that inflammation-related genes and proteins in chondrocytes are changed with mechanical stress stimulation in the cartilage-on-a-chip. Especially, MMP-13 and the proportion of collagen secretion are upregulated, showing a phenotype similar to that of real human osteoarthritis. Therefore, we believed that this cartilage-on-a-chip platform provides a desired in vitro model for osteoarthritis, which is of great significance in disease research and drug development.

In this review, we explore the impact of different 3D bioprinting technologies and bioink materials on seed cells, providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of cell sources that have been used or hold potential in 3D bioprinting. We also summarized key points to guide the selection of seed cells for 3D bioprinting.

Abstract
Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels have gained significant traction in diverse tissue engineering applications through the utilization of 3D printing technology. As an artificial hydrogel possessing remarkable processability, GelMA has emerged as a pioneering material in the advancement of tissue engineering due to its exceptional biocompatibility and degradability. The integration of 3D printing technology facilitates the precise arrangement of cells and hydrogel materials, thereby enabling the creation of in vitro models that simulate artificial tissues suitable for transplantation. Consequently, the potential applications of GelMA in tissue engineering are further expanded. In tissue engineering applications, the mechanical properties of GelMA are often modified to overcome the hydrogel material's inherent mechanical strength limitations. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in enhancing the mechanical properties of GelMA at the monomer, micron, and nano scales. Additionally, the diverse applications of GelMA in soft tissue engineering via 3D printing are emphasized. Furthermore, the potential opportunities and obstacles that GelMA may encounter in the field of tissue engineering are discussed. It is our contention that through ongoing technological progress, GelMA hydrogels with enhanced mechanical strength can be successfully fabricated, leading to the production of superior biological scaffolds with increased efficacy for tissue engineering purposes.

Instant trachea reconstruction using 3D-bioprinted C-shape biomimetic trachea based on tissue-specific matrix hydrogels. Bioact Mater 2024; 32:52-65.

Abstract
Currently, 3D-bioprinting technique has emerged as a promising strategy to offer native-like tracheal substitutes for segmental trachea reconstruction. However, there has been very limited breakthrough in tracheal repair using 3D-bioprinted biomimetic trachea owing to the lack of ideal bioinks, the requirement for precise structural biomimicking, and the complexity of multi-step surgical procedures by mean of intramuscular pre-implantation. Herein, we propose a one-step surgical technique, namely direct end-to-end anastomosis using C-shape 3D-bioprinted biomimetic trachea, for segmental trachea defect repair. First, two types of tissue-specific matrix hydrogels were exploited to provide mechanical and biological microenvironment conducive to the specific growth ways of cartilage and fibrous tissue respectively. In contrast to our previous O-shape tracheal design, the tubular structure of alternating C-shape cartilage rings and connecting vascularized-fibrous-tissue rings was meticulously designed for rapid 3D-bioprinting of tracheal constructs with optimal printing paths and models. Furthermore, in vivo trachea regeneration in nude mice showed satisfactory mechanical adaptability and efficient physiological regeneration. Finally, in situ segmental trachea reconstruction by direct end-to-end anastomosis in rabbits was successfully achieved using 3D-bioprinted C-shape biomimetic trachea. This study demonstrates the potential of advanced 3D-bioprinting for instant and efficient repair of segmental trachea defects.

BIOMATERIALS AND BIOSYSTEMS 2023; 12:100084. [PMID: 38035034 PMCID: PMC10685010 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbiosy.2023.100084] [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: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 09/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Thanks to its natural complexity and functionality, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) serves as an excellent foundation for creating highly cell-compatible bioinks and bioresins. This enables the bioprinted cells to thrive in an environment that closely mimics their native ECM composition and offers customizable biomechanical properties. To formulate dECM bioinks and bioresins, one must first pulverize and/or solubilize the dECM into non-crosslinked fragments, which can then be chemically modified as needed. In bioprinting, the solubilized dECM-derived material is typically deposited and/or crosslinked in a layer-by-layer fashion to build 3D hydrogel structures. Since the introduction of the first liver-derived dECM-based bioinks, a wide variety of decellularized tissue have been employed in bioprinting, including kidney, heart, cartilage, and adipose tissue among others. This review aims to summarize the critical steps involved in tissue-derived dECM bioprinting, starting from the decellularization of the ECM to the standardized formulation of bioinks and bioresins, ultimately leading to the reproducible bioprinting of tissue constructs. Notably, this discussion also covers photocrosslinkable dECM bioresins, which are particularly attractive due to their ability to provide precise spatiotemporal control over the gelation in bioprinting. Both in extrusion printing and vat photopolymerization, there is a need for more standardized protocols to fully harness the unique properties of dECM-derived materials. In addition to mammalian tissues, the most recent bioprinting approaches involve the use of microbial extracellular polymeric substances in bioprinting of bacteria. This presents similar challenges as those encountered in mammalian cell printing and represents a fascinating frontier in bioprinting technology.

Abstract
Human cartilage tissue can be categorized into three types: hyaline cartilage, elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage. Each type of cartilage tissue possesses unique properties and functions, which presents a significant challenge for the regeneration and repair of damaged tissue. Bionics is a discipline in which humans study and imitate nature. A bionic strategy based on comprehensive knowledge of the anatomy and histology of human cartilage is expected to contribute to fundamental study of core elements of tissue repair. Moreover, as a novel tissue-engineered technology, 3D bioprinting has the distinctive advantage of the rapid and precise construction of targeted models. Thus, by selecting suitable materials, cells and cytokines, and by leveraging advanced printing technology and bionic concepts, it becomes possible to simultaneously realize multiple beneficial properties and achieve improved tissue repair. This article provides an overview of key elements involved in the combination of 3D bioprinting and bionic strategies, with a particular focus on recent advances in mimicking different types of cartilage tissue.

Abstract
Bioprinting is an advanced technology that allows for the precise placement of cells and biomaterials in a controlled manner, making significant contributions in regenerative medicine. Notably, bioprinting-enabled biomaterials have found extensive application as drug delivery systems (DDS) in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Despite the widespread utilization of these biomaterials, there has been limited comprehensive research summarizing the recent advances in this area. Therefore, this review aims to explore the noteworthy developments and challenges associated with utilizing bioprinting-enabled biomaterials as effective DDS for the treatment of OA. To begin, we provide an overview of the complex pathophysiology of OA, highlighting the shortcomings of current treatment modalities. Following this, we conduct a detailed examination of various bioprinting technologies and discuss the wide range of biomaterials employed in DDS applications for OA therapy. Finally, by placing emphasis on their transformative potential, we discuss the incorporation of crucial cellular components such as chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells into bioprinted constructs, which play a pivotal role in promoting tissue regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Microtia is a congenital deformity of the ear with an incidence of about 0.8-4.2 per 10,000 births. Total auricular reconstruction is the preferred treatment of microtia at present, and one of the core technologies is the preparation of cartilage scaffolds. Autologous costal cartilage is recognized as the best material source for constructing scaffold platforms. However, costal cartilage harvest can lead to donor-site injuries such as pneumothorax, postoperative pain, chest wall scar and deformity. Therefore, with the need of alternative to autologous cartilage, in vitro and in vivo studies of biomaterial scaffolds and cartilage tissue engineering have gradually become novel research hot points in auricular reconstruction research. Tissue-engineered cartilage possesses obvious advantages including non-rejection, minimally invasive or non-invasive, the potential of large-scale production to ensure sufficient donors and controllable morphology. Exploration and advancements of tissue-engineered cartilaginous framework are also emerging in aspects including three-dimensional biomaterial scaffolds, acquisition of seed cells and chondrocytes, 3D printing techniques, inducing factors for chondrogenesis and so on, which has greatly promoted the research process of biomaterial substitute. This review discussed the development, current application and research progress of cartilage tissue engineering in auricular reconstruction, particularly the usage and creation of biomaterial scaffolds. The development and selection of various types of seed cells and inducing factors to stimulate chondrogenic differentiation in auricular cartilage were also highlighted. There are still confronted challenges before the clinical application becomes widely available for patients, and its long-term effect remains to be evaluated. We hope to provide guidance for future research directions of biomaterials as an alternative to autologous cartilage in ear reconstruction, and finally benefit the transformation and clinical application of cartilage tissue engineering and biomaterials in microtia treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cartilage defects are common sports injuries without significant treatment. Articular cartilage with inferior regenerative potential resulted in the poor formation of hyaline cartilage in defects. Acellular matrix scaffolds provide a microenvironment and biochemical properties similar to those of native tissues and are widely used for tissue regeneration. Therefore, we aimed to design a novel acellular cartilage matrix scaffold (ACS) for cartilage regeneration and hyaline-like cartilage formation. METHODS Four types of cartilage injury models, including full-thickness cartilage defects (6.5 and 8.5 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm in depth) and osteochondral defects (6.5 and 8.5 mm in diameter and 5 mm in depth), were constructed in the trochlear groove of the right femurs of pigs (n = 32, female, 25-40 kg). The pigs were divided into 8 groups (4 in each group) based on post-surgery treatment differences. was assessed by macroscopic appearance, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), and histologic and immunohistochemistry tests. RESULTS At 6 months, the ACS-implanted group exhibited better defect filling and a greater number of chondrocyte-like cells in the defect area than the blank groups. MRI and micro-CT imaging evaluations revealed that ACS implantation was an effective treatment for cartilage regeneration. The immunohistochemistry results suggested that more hyaline-like cartilage was generated in the defects of the ACS-implanted group. CONCLUSIONS ACS implantation promoted cartilage repair in full-thickness cartilage defects and osteochondral defects with increased hyaline-like cartilage formation at the 6-month follow-up.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease characterized by cartilage damage and degeneration. Traditional treatments such as NSAIDs and joint replacement surgery only relieve pain and do not achieve complete cartilage regeneration. Silk fibroin (SF) biomaterials are novel materials that have been widely studied and applied to cartilage regeneration. By mimicking the fibrous structure and biological activity of collagen, SF biomaterials can promote the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes and contribute to the formation of new cartilage tissue. In addition, SF biomaterials have good biocompatibility and biodegradability and can be gradually absorbed and metabolized by the human body. Studies in recent years have shown that SF biomaterials have great potential in treating OA and show good clinical efficacy. Therefore, SF biomaterials are expected to be an effective treatment option for promoting cartilage regeneration and repair in patients with OA. This article provides an overview of the biological characteristics of SF, its role in bone and cartilage injuries, and its prospects in clinical applications to provide new perspectives and references for the field of bone and cartilage repair.

Abstract
Despite being a major target of reconstructive surgery, development of the external ear pinna remains poorly studied. As a craniofacial organ highly accessible to manipulation and highly conserved among mammals, the ear pinna represents a valuable model for the study of appendage development and wound healing in the craniofacial complex. Here we provide a cellular characterization of late gestational and postnatal ear pinna development in Mus musculus and Acomys cahirinus and demonstrate that ear pinna development is largely conserved between these species. Using Wnt1-cre;ROSAmT/mG mice we find that connective tissue fibroblasts, elastic cartilage, dermal papilla cells, dermal sheath cells, vasculature, and adipocytes in the adult pinna are derived from cranial crest. In contrast, we find that skeletal muscle and hair follicles are not derived from neural crest cells. Cellular analysis using the naturally occurring short ear mouse mutant shows that elastic cartilage does not develop properly in distal pinna due to impaired chondroprogenitor proliferation. Interestingly, while chondroprogenitors develop in a mostly continuous sheet, the boundaries of cartilage loss in the short ear mutant strongly correlate with locations of vasculature-conveying foramen. Concomitant with loss of elastic cartilage we report increased numbers of adipocytes, but this seems to be a state acquired in adulthood rather than a developmental abnormality. In addition, chondrogenesis remains impaired in the adult mid-distal ear pinna of these mutants. Together these data establish a developmental basis for the study of the ear pinna with intriguing insights into the development of elastic cartilage.

Abstract
3D bioprinting is a revolutionary technology capable of replicating native tissue and organ microenvironments by precisely placing cells into 3D structures using bioinks. However, acquiring the ideal bioink to manufacture biomimetic constructs is challenging. A natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is an organ-specific material that provides physical, chemical, biological, and mechanical cues that are hard to mimic using a small number of components. Organ-derived decellularized ECM (dECM) bioink is revolutionary and has optimal biomimetic properties. However, dECM is always "non-printable" owing to its poor mechanical properties. Recent studies have focused on strategies to improve the 3D printability of dECM bioink. In this review, we highlight the decellularization methods and procedures used to produce these bioinks, effective methods to improve their printability, and recent advances in tissue regeneration using dECM-based bioinks. Finally, we discuss the challenges associated with manufacturing dECM bioinks and their potential large-scale applications.

Abstract
Finding an ideal scaffold is always an important issue in the field of cartilage tissue engineering. Both decellularized extracellular matrix and silk fibroin have been used as natural biomaterials for tissue regeneration. In this study, a secondary crosslinking method of γ irradiation and ethanol induction was used to prepare decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix and silk fibroin (dECM-SF) hydrogels with biological activity. Furthermore, the dECM-SF hydrogels were cast in custom-designed molds to produce a three-dimensional multi-channeled structure to improve internal connectivity. The adipose-derived stromal cells (ADSC) were seeded on the scaffolds, cultured in vitro for 2 weeks, and implanted in vivo for another 4 and 12 weeks. The double crosslinked dECM-SF hydrogels exhibited an excellent pore structure after lyophilization. The multi-channeled hydrogel scaffold presents higher water absorption ability, surface wettability, and no cytotoxicity. The addition of dECM and a channeled structure could promote chondrogenic differentiation of ADSC and engineered cartilage formation, confirmed by H&E, safranin O staining, type II collagen immunostaining, and qPCR assay. In conclusion, the hydrogel scaffold fabricated by the secondary crosslinking method has good plasticity and can be used as a scaffold for cartilage tissue engineering. The multi-channeled dECM-SF hydrogel scaffolds possess a chondrogenic induction activity that promotes engineered cartilage regeneration of ADSC in vivo.

Abstract
With the advancement in 3D bioprinting technology, cell culture methods can design 3D environments which are both, complex and physiologically relevant. The main component in 3D bioprinting, bioink, can be split into various categories depending on the criterion of categorization. Although the choice of bioink and bioprinting process will vary greatly depending on the application, general features such as material properties, biological interaction, gelation, and viscosity are always important to consider. The foundation of 3D bioprinting is the exact layer-by-layer implantation of biological elements, biochemicals, and living cells with the spatial control of the implantation of functional elements onto the biofabricated 3D structure. Three basic strategies underlie the 3D bioprinting process: autonomous self-assembly, micro tissue building blocks, and biomimicry or biomimetics. Tissue engineering can benefit from 3D bioprinting in many ways, but there are still numerous obstacles to overcome before functional tissues can be produced and used in clinical settings. A better comprehension of the physiological characteristics of bioink materials and a higher level of ability to reproduce the intricate biologically mimicked and physiologically relevant 3D structures would be a significant improvement for 3D bioprinting to overcome the limitations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microfracture has the most extensive clinical application because of its advantages of a single operation, unified process, and low operation cost. Because research on the repair mechanism of microfractures in the treatment of cartilage defects is not in-depth, this study aimed to elucidate the mechanism. PURPOSE To identify the characteristic cell subsets at different repair stages after microfracture, systematically analyze the repair process of the defect area after microfracture, and investigate the mechanism of fibrocartilage repair. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive laboratory study. METHODS Full-thickness articular cartilage defects and microfractures was established in the right knee of Bama miniature pigs. Single-cell transcriptional assays were used to identify the characteristics of cells isolated from healthy articular cartilage and regenerated tissues. RESULTS Microfractures induced mature fibrous repair in the full-thickness cartilage defect six months after surgery, while early stages of repair occurred within six weeks. Based on single-cell sequencing results, eight subsets and specific marker genes were identified. Two processes may occur after microfracture: normal hyaline cartilage regeneration and abnormal fibrocartilage repair. Regulatory chondrocytes, proliferative chondrocytes and cartilage progenitor cells (CPCs) may play important roles in the normal regeneration process. During abnormal repair, CPCs and skeletal stem cells may have different functions, and macrophages and endothelial cells may play important regulatory roles in the formation of fibrochondrocytes. CONCLUSIONS Using single-cell transcriptome sequencing, this study investigated the tissue regeneration process and identified key cell subsets after microfracture. CLINICAL RELEVANCE These results provide future targets for optimizing the repair effect of microfracture.

Abstract
Bioprinting aims to provide new avenues for regenerating damaged human tissues through the controlled printing of live cells and biocompatible materials that can function therapeutically. Polymeric hydrogels are commonly investigated ink materials for 3D and 4D bioprinting applications, as they can contain intrinsic properties relative to those of the native tissue extracellular matrix and can be printed to produce scaffolds of hierarchical organization. The incorporation of nanoscale material additives, such as nanoparticles, to the bulk of inks, has allowed for significant tunability of the mechanical, biological, structural, and physicochemical material properties during and after printing. The modulatory and biological effects of nanoparticles as bioink additives can derive from their shape, size, surface chemistry, concentration, and/or material source, making many configurations of nanoparticle additives of high interest to be thoroughly investigated for the improved design of bioactive tissue engineering constructs. This paper aims to review the incorporation of nanoparticles, as well as other nanoscale additive materials, to printable bioinks for tissue engineering applications, specifically bone, cartilage, dental, and cardiovascular tissues. An overview of the various bioinks and their classifications will be discussed with emphasis on cellular and mechanical material interactions, as well the various bioink formulation methodologies for 3D and 4D bioprinting techniques. The current advances and limitations within the field will be highlighted.

Abstract
Plastic surgery is a discipline that uses surgical methods or tissue transplantation to repair, reconstruct and beautify the defects and deformities of human tissues and organs. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has gained widespread attention because it enables fine customization of the implants in the patient's surgical area preoperatively while avoiding some of the adverse reactions and complications of traditional surgical approaches. In this paper, we review the recent research advances in the application of 3D bioprinting in plastic surgery. We first introduce the printing process and basic principles of 3D bioprinting technology, revealing the advantages and disadvantages of different bioprinting technologies. Then, we describe the currently available bioprinting materials, and dissect the rationale for special dynamic 3D bioprinting (4D bioprinting) that is achieved by varying the combination strategy of bioprinting materials. Later, we focus on the viable clinical applications and effects of 3D bioprinting in plastic surgery. Finally, we summarize and discuss the challenges and prospects for the application of 3D bioprinting in plastic surgery. We believe that this review can contribute to further development of 3D bioprinting in plastic surgery and provide lessons for related research.

Abstract
Organoids are powerful systems to facilitate the study of individuals' disorders and personalized treatments because they mimic the structural and functional characteristics of organs. However, the full potential of organoids in research has remained unrealized and the clinical applications have been limited. One of the reasons is organoids are most efficient grown in reconstituted extracellular matrix hydrogels from mouse-derived, whose poorly defined, batch-to-batch variability and immunogenicity. Another reason is that organoids lack host conditions. As a component of the tumor microenvironment, microbiota and metabolites can regulate the development and treatment in several human malignancies. Here, we introduce several engineering matrix materials and review recent advances in the coculture of organoids with microbiota and their metabolites. Finally, we discuss current trends and future possibilities to build more complex cocultures.

Fabrication of biphasic cartilage-bone integrated scaffolds based on tissue-specific photo-crosslinkable acellular matrix hydrogels. Mater Today Bio 2022; 17:100489.

Abstract
The fabrication of biphasic cartilage-bone integrated scaffolds is an attractive alternative for osteochondral repair but has proven to be extremely challenging. Existing three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds are insufficient to accurately biomimic the biphasic cartilage-bone integrated microenvironment. Currently, photo-crosslinkable hydrogels based on tissue-specific decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) have been considered as an important technique to fabricate biomimetic scaffolds, but so far there has been no breakthrough in the photo-crosslinkable hydrogel scaffolds with biphasic cartilage-bone biomimetic microenvironment. Here, we report a novel strategy for the preparation of biomimetic cartilage-bone integrated scaffolds based on photo-crosslinkable cartilage/bone-derived dECM hydrogels, which are able to reconstruct biphasic cartilage-bone biomimetic microenvironment. The biphasic cartilage-bone integrated scaffolds provided a 3D microenvironment for osteochondral regeneration. The cartilage biomimetic scaffolds, consisting of cartilage-derived dECM hydrogels, efficiently regulated chondrogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The bone biomimetic scaffolds, composed of cartilage/bone-derived dECM hydrogels, first regulated chondrogenesis of BMSCs, followed by endochondral ossification over time. Taken together, the biphasic cartilage-bone integrated tissue could be successfully reconstructed by subcutaneous culture based on cartilage-bone bilayered structural design. Furthermore, the biphasic cartilage-bone biomimetic scaffolds (cell-free) achieved satisfactory cartilage-bone integrated regeneration in the osteochondral defects of rabbits’ knee joints.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered ear cartilage scaffold based on three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technology presents a new strategy for ear reconstruction in individuals with microtia. Natural hydrogel is a promising material due to its excellent biocompatibility and low immunogenicity. However, insufficient mechanical property required for cartilage is one of the major issues pending to be solved. In this study, the gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel reinforced with bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) was developed to enhance the biomechanical properties and printability of the hydrogel. The results revealed that the addition of 0.375% BNC significantly increased the mechanical properties of the hydrogel and promoted cell migration in the BNC-reinforced hydrogel. Constructs bioprinted with chondrocyte-laden BNC/GelMA hydrogel bio-ink formed mature cartilage in nude mice with higher Young's modulus and glycosaminoglycan content. Finally, an auricle equivalent with a precise shape, high mechanics, and abundant cartilage-specific matrix was developed in vivo. In this study, we developed a potentially useful hydrogel for the manufacture of auricular cartilage grafts for microtia patients.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been extensively used as scaffolds in tissue engineering for cell adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation because of their high-water content and biocompatibility similarity to the extracellular matrix. However, submicron or nanosized pore networks within hydrogels severely limit cell survival and tissue regeneration. In recent years, the application of macroporous hydrogels in tissue engineering has received considerable attention. The macroporous structure not only facilitates nutrient transportation and metabolite discharge but also provides more space for cell behavior and tissue formation. Several strategies for creating and functionalizing macroporous hydrogels have been reported. This review began with an overview of the advantages and challenges of macroporous hydrogels in the regulation of cellular behavior. In addition, advanced methods for the preparation of macroporous hydrogels to modulate cellular behavior were discussed. Finally, future research in related fields was discussed.

Abstract
The insufficient pore structure of cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds has limited their application in various tissue regeneration applications owing to low cell-to-cell/matrix interactions and low transfer of nutrients and metabolic wastes. Herein, we designed a highly porous cell-laden hydrogel scaffold fabricated using an emulsion bioink consisting of methacrylated collagen (CMA), mineral oil (MO), and human adipose stem cells (hASCs) to induce efficient cell infiltration and cellular activities. By selecting the most appropriate concentration of CMA and MO, the emulsion bioink can be successfully formulated with proper yield stress and printability. The cell-laden scaffold exhibited significantly greater cell growth and cytoskeletal reorganization than the normally printed cell-laden CMA scaffold. Furthermore, two bioactive components (kartogenin and bone morphogenetic protein 2) were physically encapsulated in the oil droplets of the cell construct, and the molecules in the cell constructs enhanced chondrogenic or osteogenic differentiation of hASCs in the printed structure. Based on these results, the cell-printed structure using an emulsion bioink can not only provide a good cellular microenvironment but also be a new potential method to accelerate stem cell differentiation by combining bioactive molecules and cell-laden scaffolds.

Abstract
Promoting the in situ regeneration of cartilage without additional cells or cytokines remains challenging. Here, inspired by the unique microstructures of subchondral bone, a cell and cytokine free hydrogel scaffold for cartilage regeneration was developed via a strategy of directional lyophilization and postcrosslinking. This strategy achieved intersecting microchannels in an orderly arrangement and an aligned ladder-like texture in a semi-interpenetrating hydrogel network. The resulting hydrogel had similar mechanical properties to the native cartilage extracellular matrix. Incorporating chitosan into the rigid network also endowed the hydrogel with excellent hemostatic properties. By delicately tuning the components and postcrosslinking conditions, the hydrogel was further endowed with suitable swelling and degradation properties for cartilage regeneration. In vitro tests showed that the highly biocompatible hydrogel scaffold could facilitate the migration and chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo results further verified that the hydrogel could promote the in situ regeneration of cartilage in a rat model of osteochondral defects. In summary, the subchondral bone-like hydrogel revealed promising prospects in cartilage regeneration and a variety of bioremediation applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common joint disease with a high disability rate. In addition, OA not only causes great physiological and psychological harm to patients, but also puts great pressure on the social healthcare system. Pathologically, the disintegration of cartilage and the lesions of subchondral bone are related to OA. Currently, tissue engineering, which is expected to overcome the defects of existing treatment methods, had a lot of research in the field of cartilage/osteochondral repair. Silk fibroin (SF), as a natural macromolecular material with good biocompatibility, unique mechanical properties, excellent processability and degradability, holds great potential in the field of tissue engineering. Nowadays, SF had been prepared into various materials to adapt to the demands of cartilage/osteochondral repair. SF-based biomaterials can also be functionally modified to enhance repair performance further. In this review, the preparation methods, types, structures, mechanical properties, and functional modifications of SF-based biomaterials used for cartilage/osteochondral repair are summarized and discussed. We hope that this review will provide a reference for the design and development of SF-based biomaterials in cartilage/osteochondral repair field.

BIOMATERIALS TRANSLATIONAL 2022; 3:105-115. [PMID: 36105562 PMCID: PMC9465990 DOI: 10.12336/biomatertransl.2022.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/01/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022]
Abstract
Cartilage injuries are common problems that increase with the population aging. Cartilage is an avascular tissue with a relatively low level of cellular mitotic activity, which makes it impossible to heal spontaneously. To compensate for this problem, three-dimensional bio-printing has attracted a great deal of attention in cartilage tissue engineering. This emerging technology aims to create three-dimensional functional scaffolds by accurately depositing layer-by-layer bio-inks composed of biomaterial and cells. As a novel bio-ink, a decellularized extracellular matrix can serve as an appropriate substrate that contains all the necessary biological cues for cellular interactions. Here, this review is intended to provide an overview of decellularized extracellular matrix-based bio-inks and their properties, sources, and preparation process. Following this, decellularized extracellular matrix-based bio-inks for cartilage tissue engineering are discussed, emphasizing cell behavior and in-vivo applications. Afterward, the current challenges and future outlook will be discussed to determine the conclusing remarks.

Abstract
(1) Background: In recent years, three-dimensional (3D) templates have replaced traditional two-dimensional (2D) templates as visual guides during intra-operative carving of the autogenous cartilage framework in microtia reconstruction. This study aims to introduce a protocol of the fabrication of patient-specific, 3D printed and sterilizable auricular models for autogenous auricular reconstruction. (2) Methods: The patient’s unaffected ear was captured with a high-resolution surface 3D scan (Artec Eva) and post-processed in order to obtain a clean surface model (STL format). In the next step, the ear was digitally mirrored, segmented and separated into its component auricle parts for reconstruction. It was disassembled into helix, antihelix, tragus and base and a physical model was 3D printed for each part. Following this segmentation, the cartilage was carved in the operating room, based on the models. (3) Results: This segmentation technique facilitates the modeling and carving of the scaffold, with adequate height, depth, width and thickness. This reduces both the surgical time and the amount of costal cartilage used. (4) Conclusions: This segmentation technique uses surface scanning and 3D printing to produce sterilizable and patient-specific 3D templates.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is one of the most promising additive manufacturing technologies for fabricating various biomimetic architectures of tissues and organs. In this context, the bioink, a critical element for biofabrication, is a mixture of biomaterials and living cells used in 3D printing to create cell-laden structures. Recently, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based bioinks derived from natural tissues have garnered enormous attention from researchers due to their unique and complex biochemical properties. This review initially presents the details of the natural ECM and its role in cell growth and metabolism. Further, we briefly emphasize the commonly used decellularization treatment procedures and subsequent evaluations for the quality control of the dECM. In addition, we summarize some of the common bioink preparation strategies, the 3D bioprinting approaches, and the applicability of 3D-printed dECM bioinks to tissue engineering. Finally, we present some of the challenges in this field and the prospects for future development.

Acellular cartilage matrix biomimetic scaffold with immediate enrichment of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells to repair articular cartilage defects. Mater Today Bio 2022; 15:100310. [PMID: 35677810 PMCID: PMC9168693 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2022.100310] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2022] [Revised: 05/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Functional repair of articular cartilage defects is always a great challenge in joint surgery clinically. Tissue engineering strategies that combine autologous cell implantation with three-dimensional scaffolds have proven effective for repairing articular cartilage tissue. However, it faces the problem of cell sources and scaffold materials. Autologous chondrocytes and bone marrow are difficult to popularize clinically due to limited donor sources and low mononuclear cell (MNC) concentrations, respectively. The density gradient centrifugation method can increase the concentration of MNCs in fresh bone marrow by nearly a hundredfold and achieve immediate enrichment. In addition, acellular cartilage matrix (ACM), with good biocompatibility and a cartilage-specific microenvironment, is considered to be an ideal candidate scaffold for cartilage regeneration. In this study, hybrid pigs were used to establish articular cartilage defect models of different sizes to determine the feasibility and maximum scope of application of ACM-based biomimetic scaffolds combined with MNCs for inducing articular cartilage regeneration. Importantly, ACM-based biomimetic scaffolds instantly enriched MNCs could improve the repair effect of articular cartilage defects in situ, which established a new model of articular cartilage regeneration that could be applied immediately and suited for large-scale clinical promotion. The current study significantly improves the repair effect of articular cartilage defects, which provides scientific evidence and detailed insights for future clinical applications of ACM-based biomimetic scaffolds combined with MNCs. Explore the maximum scope of repairing articular cartilage defect with ACM scaffold. Immediate enrichment of mononuclear cells by density gradient centrifugation. ACM scaffold enriched MNCs improve the repair effect of articular cartilage defect. Enrichment of MNCs expands the maximum scope of repairing articular cartilage defect.
