Abstract
Hydrogels can possess desired biochemical and mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, satisfactory biodegradability, and biological capabilities that promote skin repair, making them ideal candidates for skin healing dressings. Polysaccharides, such as chitosan, hyaluronic acid and sodium alginate as well as proteins, including gelatin, collagen and fibroin proteins, are biological macromolecules celebrated for their biocompatibility and biodegradability, are at the forefront of innovative hydrogel dressing development. This work first summarizes the skin wound healing process and its influencing factors, and then systematically articulates the multifunctional roles of hydrogels based on biological macromolecules (polysaccharides and proteins) as dressing in addressing bacterial infection, hemorrhage and inflammation during wound healing. Furthermore, this review explores the potential of these hydrogels as vehicles for combination therapy, by incorporating growth factors or stem cells. Finally, the article offers insights into future directions of such hydrogels in wound repair field.

Endothelial progenitor cells for fabrication of engineered vascular units and angiogenesis induction. Cell Prolif 2024:e13716. [PMID: 39051852 DOI: 10.1111/cpr.13716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/03/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024] Open
Abstract
The promotion of vascularization and angiogenesis in the grafts is a crucial phenomenon in the healing process and tissue engineering. It has been shown that stem cells, especially endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), can stimulate blood vessel formation inside the engineered hydrogels after being transplanted into the target sites. The incorporation of EPCs into the hydrogel can last the retention time, long-term survival, on-target delivery effects, migration and differentiation into mature endothelial cells. Despite these advantages, further modifications are mandatory to increase the dynamic growth and angiogenesis potential of EPCs in in vitro and in vivo conditions. Chemical modifications of distinct composites with distinct physical properties can yield better regenerative potential and angiogenesis during several pathologies. Here, we aimed to collect recent findings related to the application of EPCs in engineered vascular grafts and/or hydrogels for improving vascularization in the grafts. Data from the present article can help us in the application of EPCs as valid cell sources in the tissue engineering of several ischemic tissues.

Abstract
Tissue engineered skin and its substitutes have a promising future in wound healing. However, enabling fast formation of blood vessels during the wound healing process is still a huge challenge to the currently available wound substitutes. In this work, active mesoporous bioglass nanoparticles with a high specific surface area and doped with strontium (Sr) were fabricated for rapid microvascularization and wound healing. The as-prepared bioglass nanoparticles with Sr ions significantly promoted the proliferation of fibroblasts and microvascularization of human umbilical vein endothelial cells in vitro. Silk fibroin sponges encapsulating the nanoparticles accelerated wound healing by promoting the formation of blood vessels and epithelium in vivo. This work provides a strategy for the design and development of active biomaterials for enhancing wound healing by rapid vascularization and epithelial reconstruction.

Abstract
Rapid developments in materials engineering are accompanied by the equally rapid development of new technologies, which are now increasingly used in various branches of our life. The current research trend concerns the development of methods for obtaining new materials engineering systems and searching for relationships between the structure and physicochemical properties. A recent increase in the demand for well-defined and thermally stable systems has highlighted the importance of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) and double-decker silsesquioxane (DDSQ) architectures. This short review focuses on these two groups of silsesquioxane-based materials and their selected applications. This fascinating field of hybrid species has attracted considerable attention due to their daily applications with unique capabilities and their great potential, among others, in biomaterials as components of hydrogel networks, components in biofabrication techniques, and promising building blocks of DDSQ-based biohybrids. Moreover, they constitute attractive systems applied in materials engineering, including flame retardant nanocomposites and components of the heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta-type catalytic system.

Novel hybrid composites based on double-decker silsesquioxanes functionalized by methacrylate derivatives and polyvinyl alcohol as potential materials utilized in biomedical applications. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 146:213290. [PMID: 36682203 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2023.213290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 01/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/12/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
The use of diverse biomaterials for regenerative medicine is constantly evolving. Therefore, looking for easy-to-scale-up materials in terms of preparation, less complex composition, and featuring structural and chemical stability seems justified. In this work, we report the preparation of double-decker silsesquioxane-based (DDSQ-based) composites, which, according to our best knowledge, have never been used as biomaterials. A family of methacrylate-substituted DDSQs was obtained starting from the previously reported hydroxyalkyl double-decker silsesquioxanes. In the resulting hybrids, methacrylate groups are attached to each other's lateral silicon atoms of DDSQ in trans positions, providing an excellent geometry for forming thin layers. In contrast to pure organic methacrylates, the covalent bonding of methacrylate derivatives to inorganic silsesquioxane core improves mechanics, cell adhesion, and migration properties. Furthermore, to increase the hydrophilicity of the resulting DDSQ-based hybrids, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was added. The entire system forms an easy-to-obtain two-component (DDSQ-PVA) composite, which was subjected without any upgrading additives to biological tests later in the research. The resulting biomaterials fulfill the requirements for potential medical applications. Human fibroblasts growing on prepared hybrid composites are characterized by proper spindle-shaped morphology, proliferation, and activation status similar to control conditions (cells cultured on PVA), as well as increased adhesion and migration abilities. The obtained results suggest that the prepared biomaterials may be used in regenerative medicine in the future.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 143:213172. [PMID: 36343392 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/23/2022] [Revised: 10/07/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Deep skin wound needs a long wound healing process, in which external force on skin around wound can result in a sharp pain, wound re-damage and interstitial fluid flowing out, increasing the risk of deterioration and even amputation. While the conventional wound dressings cannot provide timely feedback of abnormal wound status and lose best time for wound treatment, real-time monitoring wound status is thus urgently needed for wound management. In this work, a breathable and stretchable electronic skin (i.e., e-skin) named CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat has been developed through electrospinning, ice-templating and in-situ loading method for evaluating wound status. The obtained porosity, swelling ratio and vapor transmission rate of the CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat are 55 %, 180 % and 3378.2 h-1 day-1, respectively. And owing to the good porous, nanofibrous architecture and excellent breathability of the mat, L929 cells grow and well spread on the CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat. In addition, the gauge factors of the prepared conductive CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat as a strain sensor are 15.4 and 72.9 in the strain ranges of 0-70 % and 70-85 %, respectively, matching the mechanical performance of human skin. The sensitivity coefficient of the mat for moisture sensing is 12.05, indicating its high efficiency for monitoring and warning interstitial fluid outflow from wound. Furthermore, the integration of CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat with a portable device is feasible to monitor strain and moisture on a rat model with abdominal wound. The healing process of the wounds treated with CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat is similar to that of GelMA mat, indicating that the dosage of CNTs and graphene in the CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat has negligible effect on the mat histocompatibility. The CNTs/graphene/GelMA mat demonstrates the application potential in wound management, home medical diagnosis and human-machine interactions.
