Abstract
Biodegradable metals offer a promising means to ameliorate many of the long-term risks associated with vascular devices made of conventional biostable stent metals. While numerous biodegradable metal alloys have been developed and characterized in animal models, knowledge of their blood reactivity and thrombogenicity remains unknown. Metal hemocompatibility is particularly valuable because current generation drug-eluting stents pose a significant long-term thrombosis risk. In this study, four pure metals, widely used as degradable base materials (Fe, Zn, Mg, and Mo), and three alloys commonly used in cardiovascular devices [NiTi, CoCr, and stainless steel (SS)] were evaluated. This work examined how each of these metals activate platelets, coagulation factors, and inflammation using in vitro hemocompatibility assays and a clinically relevant ex vivo non-human primate arteriovenous shunt model. Testing found that while all metals promoted a downstream activation of platelets and coagulation in flowing whole blood, platelet and fibrin attachment to Mg was markedly reduced. Additionally, Fe and Mo trended toward higher platelet attachment and contact pathway activation. Overall, the results suggest that Mg may delay clot initiation, but not eliminate clot formation, indicating the importance of understanding thrombosis in Mg alloys that are currently being developed for clinical use as biodegradable stents.

Abstract
Vascular surgery faces a critical demand for novel vascular grafts that are biocompatible and thromboresistant. This urgency particularly applies to bypass operations involving small caliber vessels. In the realm of tissue engineering, the development of fully vascularized organs holds great promise as a solution to organ shortage for transplantation. To achieve this, it is imperative to (re-)construct a biocompatible and non-thrombogenic vascular network within these organs. In this systematic review, we identify, classify and discuss basic principles and methods used to perform in vitro/ex vivo dynamic thrombogenicity testing of perfusable tissue engineered organs and tissues. We conducted a pre-registered systematic review of studies published in the last 23 years according to PRISMA-P Guidelines, comprising a systematic data extraction, in-depth analysis and risk of bias assessment of 116 included studies. We identified shaking (n=28), flow loop (n=17), ex vivo (arterio-venous shunt, n=33) and dynamic in vitro models (n=38) as main approaches for thrombogenicity assessment. This comprehensive review unveils a prevalent lack of standardization and serves as a valuable guide in the design of standardized experimental setups.

Bioact Mater 2024; 32:319-332. [PMID: 37869724 PMCID: PMC10589380 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.10.013] [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: 06/21/2023] [Revised: 10/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/10/2023] [Indexed: 10/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Cartilage injury represents a frequent dilemma in clinical practice owing to its inherently limited self-renewal capacity. Biomimetic strategy-based engineered biomaterial, capable of coordinated regulation for cellular and microenvironmental crosstalk, provides an adequate avenue to boost cartilage regeneration. The level of oxidative stress in microenvironments is verified to be vital for tissue regeneration, yet it is often overlooked in engineered biomaterials for cartilage regeneration. Herein, inspired by natural cartilage architecture, a fibril-network glycopeptide hydrogel (Nap-FFGRGD@FU), composed of marine-derived polysaccharide fucoidan (FU) and naphthalenephenylalanine-phenylalanine-glycine-arginine-glycine-aspartic peptide (Nap-FFGRGD), was presented through a simple supramolecular self-assembly approach. The Nap-FFGRGD@FU hydrogels exhibit a native cartilage-like architecture, characterized by interwoven collagen fibers and attached proteoglycans. Beyond structural simulation, fucoidan-exerted robust biological effects and Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence-provided cell attachment sites realized functional reinforcement, synergistically promoted extracellular matrix (ECM) production and reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination, thus contributing to chondrocytes-ECM harmony. In vitro co-culture with glycopeptide hydrogels not only facilitated cartilage ECM anabolic metabolism but also scavenged ROS accumulation in chondrocytes. Mechanistically, the chondro-protective effects induced by glycopeptide hydrogels rely on the activation of endogenous antioxidant pathways associated with nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). In vivo implantation of glycopeptide hydrogels successfully improved the de novo cartilage generation by 1.65-fold, concomitant with coordinately restructured subchondral bone structure. Collectively, our ingeniously crafted bionic glycopeptide hydrogels simultaneously rewired chondrocytes' function by augmenting anabolic metabolism and rebuilt ECM microenvironment via preserving redox equilibrium, holding great potential for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Synthetic small-diameter vascular grafts (<6 mm) are used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease, but fail much more readily than similar grafts made from autologous vascular tissue. A promising approach to improve the patency rates of synthetic vascular grafts is to promote the adhesion of endothelial cells to the luminal surface of the graft. In this study, we characterized the surface chemical and topographic changes imparted on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), an emerging hydrogel vascular graft material, after exposure to various reactive ion plasma (RIP) surface treatments, how these changes dissipate after storage in a sealed environment at standard temperature and pressure, and the effect of these changes on the adhesion of endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFCs). We showed that RIP treatments including O2, N2, or Ar at two radiofrequency powers, 50 and 100 W, improved ECFC adhesion compared to untreated PVA and to different degrees for each RIP treatment, but that the topographic and chemical changes responsible for the increased cell affinity dissipate in samples treated and allowed to age for 230 days. We characterized the effect of aging on RIP-treated PVA using an assay to quantify ECFCs on RIP-treated PVA 48 h after seeding, atomic force microscopy to probe surface topography, scanning electron microscopy to visualize surface modifications, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate surface chemistry. Our results show that after treatment at higher RF powers, the surface exhibits increased roughness and greater levels of charged nitrogen species across all precursor gases and that these surface modifications are beneficial for the attachment of ECFCs. This study is important for our understanding of the stability of surface modifications used to promote the adhesion of vascular cells such as ECFCs.

Abstract
Marine resources in unique marine environments provide abundant, cost-effective natural biomaterials with distinct structures, compositions, and biological activities compared to terrestrial species. These marine-derived raw materials, including polysaccharides, natural protein components, fatty acids, and marine minerals, etc., have shown great potential in preparing, stabilizing, or modifying multifunctional nano-/micro-systems and are widely applied in drug delivery, theragnostic, tissue engineering, etc. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the most current marine biomaterial-based nano-/micro-systems developed over the past three years, primarily focusing on therapeutic delivery studies and highlighting their potential to cure a variety of diseases. Specifically, we first provided a detailed introduction to the physicochemical characteristics and biological activities of natural marine biocomponents in their raw state. Furthermore, the assembly processes, potential functionalities of each building block, and a thorough evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of advanced marine biomaterial-based systems and their effects on molecular pathophysiological processes were fully elucidated. Finally, a list of unresolved issues and pivotal challenges of marine-derived biomaterials applications, such as standardized distinction of raw materials, long-term biosafety in vivo, the feasibility of scale-up, etc., was presented. This review is expected to serve as a roadmap for fundamental research and facilitate the rational design of marine biomaterials for diverse emerging applications.

Abstract
Loss of extracellular matrix (ECM) and dehydration of the nucleus pulposus (NP) are major pathological characteristics of intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), the leading cause of low back pain. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by proinflammatory cytokines substantially contribute to IVDD pathogenesis. This study aimed to examine the potential of fucoidan in protecting the matrix metabolism of NP cells and its therapeutic efficacy in the prevention of IVDD. In an inflammatory environment induced by interleukin (IL)-1β, fucoidan treatments demonstrated a dose-dependent enhancement of ECM production in NP cells, while concurrently reducing the expression of matrix degradation enzymes. The protective effect of fucoidan was mediated through the activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and subsequent induction of antioxidant enzymes, whereas silencing Nrf2 abrogated the protection of fucoidan on NP cells against IL-1β-induced oxidative stress. Moreover, a novel fucoidan-functionalized gelatin methacryloyl microsphere (Fu@GelMA-MS) was synthesized. The in vivo application of Fu@GelMA-MS via in situ injection in a rat caudal IVD model effectively conserved the ECM components and maintained the hydration of the NP tissue, thereby preventing IVDD caused by puncture. Collectively, fucoidan-functionalized hydrogel microspheres represent a promising strategy for the regeneration of NP and the treatment of IVDD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. The inability of cardiac tissue to regenerate after an infarction results in scar tissue formation, leading to cardiac dysfunction. Therefore, cardiac repair has always been a popular research topic. Recent advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine offer promising solutions combining stem cells and biomaterials to construct tissue substitutes that could have functions similar to healthy cardiac tissue. Among these biomaterials, plant-derived biomaterials show great promise in supporting cell growth due to their inherent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical stability. More importantly, plant-derived materials have reduced immunogenic properties compared to popular animal-derived materials (e.g., collagen and gelatin). In addition, they also offer improved wettability compared to synthetic materials. To date, limited literature is available to systemically summarize the progression of plant-derived biomaterials in cardiac tissue repair. Herein, this paper highlights the most common plant-derived biomaterials from both land and marine plants. The beneficial properties of these materials for tissue repair are further discussed. More importantly, the applications of plant-derived biomaterials in cardiac tissue engineering, including tissue-engineered scaffolds, bioink in 3D biofabrication, delivery vehicles, and bioactive molecules, are also summarized using the latest preclinical and clinical examples.
