Abstract
Engineering biomaterials that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone is of significant importance since most of the outstanding properties of the bone are due to matrix constitution. Bone ECM is composed of a mineral part comprising hydroxyapatite and of an organic part of primarily collagen with the rest consisting on non-collagenous proteins. Collagen has already been described as critical for bone tissue regeneration; however, little is known about the potential effect of non-collagenous proteins on osteogenic differentiation, even though these proteins were identified some decades ago. Aiming to engineer new bone tissue, peptide-incorporated biomimetic materials have been developed, presenting improved biomaterial performance. These promising results led to ongoing research focused on incorporating non-collagenous proteins from bone matrix to enhance the properties of the scaffolds namely in what concerns cell migration, proliferation, and differentiation, with the ultimate goal of designing novel strategies that mimic the native bone ECM for bone tissue engineering applications. Overall, this review will provide an overview of the several non-collagenous proteins present in bone ECM, their functionality and their recent applications in the bone tissue (including dental) engineering field.

Abstract
This article presents the results of the combined effects of RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartate) functionalization and mechanical stimulation on osteogenesis that could lead to the development of implantable robust tissue-engineered mineralized constructs. Porous polycaprolactone/hydroxyapatite (PCL/HA) scaffolds are functionalized with RGD-C (arginine-glycine-aspartate-cysteine) peptide. The effects of RGD functionalization are then explored on human fetal osteoblast cell adhesion, proliferation, osteogenic differentiation (alkaline phosphatase activity), extracellular matrix (ECM) production, and mineralization over 28 days. The effects of RGD functionalization followed by mechanical stimulation with a cyclic fluid shear stress of 3.93 mPa in a perfusion bioreactor are also elucidated. The tensile properties (Young's moduli and ultimate tensile strengths) of the cell-laden scaffolds are measured at different stages of cell culture to understand how the mechanical properties of the tissue-engineered structures evolve. RGD functionalization is shown to promote initial cell adhesion, proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and ECM production. However, it does not significantly affect mineralization and tensile properties. Mechanical stimulation after RGD functionalization is shown to further improve the ALP activity, ECM production, mineralization, and tensile properties, but not cell proliferation. The results suggest that combined RGD functionalization and mechanical stimulation of cell-laden PCL/HA scaffolds can be used to accelerate the regeneration of robust bioengineered bone structures.

Abstract
Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) is a promising synthetic material in bone tissue engineering (BTE). Particularly, the introduction of rapid prototyping (RP) represents the possibility of manufacturing PCL scaffolds with customized appearances and structures. Bio-Oss is a natural bone mineral matrix with significant osteogenic effects; however, it has limitations in being constructed and maintained into specific shapes and sites. In this study, we used RP and fabricated a hollow-structured cage-shaped PCL scaffold loaded with Bio-Oss to form a hybrid scaffold for BTE. Moreover, we adopted NaOH surface treatment to improve PCL hydrophilicity and enhance cell adhesion. The results showed that the NaOH-treated hybrid scaffold could enhance the osteogenesis of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMMSCs) both in vitro and in vivo. Altogether, we reveal a novel hybrid scaffold that not only possesses osteoinductive function to promote bone formation but can also be fabricated into specific forms. This scaffold design may have great application potential in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The fibronectin type 10-peptide amphiphile (FNIII10-PA) was previously genetically engineered and showed osteogenic differentiation activity on rat bone marrow stem cells (rBMSCs). In this study, we investigated whether FNIII10-PA demonstrated cellular activity on polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers. FNIII10-PA significantly increased protein production and cell adhesion activity on PCL fibers in a dose-dependent manner. In cell proliferation results, there was no effect on cell proliferation activity by FNIII10-PA; however, FNIII10-PA induced the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells via upregulation of bone sialoprotein (BSP), collagen type I (Col I), osteocalcin (OC), osteopontin (OPN), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) mitochondrial RNA (mRNA) levels; it did not increase the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) mRNA level. These results indicate that FNIII10-PA has potential as a new biomaterial for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Biodegradable stents have emerged as one of the most promising approaches in obstructive cardiovascular disease treatment due to their potential in providing mechanical support while it is needed and then leaving behind only the healed natural vessel. The aim of this study was to develop polymeric biodegradable stents for application in small caliber blood vessels. Poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate] (PHBHHx), a renewable microbial aliphatic polyester, and poly(ε-caprolactone), a synthetic polyester approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for different biomedical applications, were investigated as suitable polymers for stent development. A novel manufacturing approach based on computer-aided wet-spinning of a polymeric solution was developed to fabricate polymeric stents. By tuning the fabrication parameters, it was possible to develop stents with different morphological characteristics (e.g. pore size and wall thickness). Thermal analysis results suggested that material processing did not cause changes in the molecular structure of the polymers. PHBHHx stents demonstrated great radial elasticity while PCL stents showed higher axial and radial mechanical strength. The developed stents resulted able to sustain proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells within two weeks of in vitro culture and they showed excellent results in terms of thromboresistivity when in contact with human blood.

Abstract
Molecular signals in the form of growth factors are the main modulators of cell behavior. However, the use of growth factors in tissue engineering has several drawbacks, including their costs, difficult production, immunogenicity and short half-life. Furthermore, many of them are pleiotropic and, since a single growth factor can have different active domains, their effect is not always fully controllable. A very interesting alternative that has recently emerged is the use of biomimetic peptides. Sequences derived from the active domains of soluble or extracellular matrix proteins can be used to functionalize the biomaterials used as scaffolds for new tissue growth to either direct the attachment of cells or to be released as soluble ligands. Since these short peptides can be easily designed and cost-effectively synthesized in vitro, their use has opened up a world of new opportunities to obtain cheaper and more effective implants for regenerative medicine strategies. In this extensive review we will go through many of the most important peptides with potential interest for bone tissue engineering, not limiting to those that only mediate cell adhesion or induce the osteogenic differentiation of progenitor cells, but also focusing on those that direct angiogenesis because of its close relation with bone formation.

Abstract
Biomimetic materials were developed to regulate stem cell behaviour. We have analyzed the influence of polycaprolactone (PCL) films, functionalized with adhesive peptides derived from fibronectin (pFibro) or bone sialoprotein (pBSP), on the response of murine multipotent C3H10T1/2 cells to bone morphogenetic protein-9 (BMP-9) and its derived peptides (pBMP-9 and SpBMP-9). PCL-pFibro promoted better cell cytoskeleton organization and faster focal adhesion kinase activation than did PCL-pBSP. PCL-pFibro also promoted MAPK signalling to improve the cell response to BMP-9 by inactivating ERK1/2 and stimulating p38 and JNK. BMP-9, pBMP-9 and SpBMP-9 induced greater phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8 in cells attached to PCL-pFibro than in cells on PCL-pBSP. These phosphorylated Smad1/5/8 were translocated to the nucleus. BMP-9 and its derived peptides restored the phosphorylation of JNK in cells on PCL-pBSP, but it remained less phosphorylated than in cells on PCL-pFibro stimulated with pBMP-9 and SpBMP-9. Cells attached to PCL-pFibro contained more Runx2, essential for stem cell commitment to become osteoblasts, than did cells on PCL-pBSP when incubated with BMP-9 and its derived peptides. Runx2 was no longer detected when the cells were pre-treated with JNK inhibitor. Therefore pFibro plus BMP-9 and its derived peptides may be a promising strategy to develop biomimetic materials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Biomaterials functionalized with adhesive peptides to favour bone repair have generated a great interest over the past decade. However, the effect of these materials on the ability of cells to respond to growth factors remains poorly known. One major growth factor subfamily involved in bone formation is the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP). However, these BMPs are expensive. We therefore developed less costly derived molecules. We showed how adhesive peptides derived from bone matrix proteins grafted onto polymer films affect the intracellular signalling and thus the ability of stem cells to be activated by BMP and its derived molecules. We have therefore identified a combination of bioactive polymers and BMP molecules that direct the stem cells towards bone forming cells.

Abstract
Molecules such as growth factors, peptides and small molecules can guide cellular behavior and are thus important for tissue engineering. They are rapidly emerging as promising compounds for the regeneration of tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Growth factors have disadvantages such as high cost, short half-life, supraphysiological amounts needed, etc. Therefore, small molecules may be an alternative. These molecules have been discovered using high throughput screening. Small osteoinductive molecules exhibit several advantages over growth factors owing to their small sizes, such as high stability and non-immunogenicity. These molecules may stimulate directly signaling pathways that are important for osteogenesis. However, systemic application doesn't induce osteogenesis in most cases. Therefore, local administration is needed. This may be achieved by using a bone graft material providing additional osteoconductive properties. These graft materials can also act by themselves as a delivery matrix for targeted and local delivery. Furthermore, vascularization is necessary in the process of osteogenesis. Many of the small molecules are also capable of promoting vascularization of the tissue to be regenerated. Thus, in this review, special attention is given to molecules that are capable of inducing both angiogenesis and osteogenesis simultaneously. Finally, more recent preclinical and clinical uses in bone regeneration of those molecules are described, highlighting the needs for the clinical translation of these promising compounds.

Abstract
Probing stem cell-biomaterial interactions is of great significance in both gaining profound understanding of stem cell biology and advancing tissue regeneration. In the present work, we developed a series of poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) films bearing distinct pendant small functional groups to study the effects of biomaterial substrate chemistry on stem cell behaviors. PCL films, bearing hydroxyl (OH), methyl (CH₃), carboxyl (COOH) and amino (NH₂), demonstrated varied surface properties, such as wettability, serum protein adsorption and surface topographical feature. In comparison with pristine PCL film, the adhesion of hMSCs on PCL-COOH, PCL-OH and PCLCO films was significantly promoted and cells slightly outgrew on PCL-NH₂ and PCL-COOH films. Most importantly, the tri-lineage differentiation of hMSCs varied on this series of PCL films, with the best osteogenesis achieved on PCL-NH₂ film, PCL and PCL-CH₃ films supporting the superior adipogenic differentiation and PCL-CH₃ film being the most favorable one for chondrogenesis. This study highlights the critical roles of surface chemistry in modulating the fates of MSCs and potentially provides a practical guidance in developing instructive tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
In this work, cell-responsive polysaccharide hydrogels were prepared by a simple procedure based on the sequential bioconjugation and cross-linking of the polysaccharide backbone with bioactive peptides and poly(ethylene glycol)-bis(thiol) (PEG-(SH)2), respectively. Using thiol-ene reactions, we successfully functionalized hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) with short and long peptides (5-mer and 15-mer derivatives, respectively) derived from adhesive proteins of bone extracellular matrix. The resulting HA-peptide and CMC-peptide conjugates with varying degrees of substitution were then carefully characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy to precisely control the peptide density into the hydrogels cross-linked with PEG-(SH)2. Preosteoblast seeded on the hydrogels with controlled identical stiffness spread in a manner that was strongly dependent on ligand density. Surprisingly, increasing the density of the adhesive peptide anchors did not result in a plateau of initial cell spreading but rather in a bell-shaped cell response that varies with the nature of both polysaccharide backbone and functional peptide. Placing the cells under optimal conditions for cell/hydrogel interaction, we showed that in HA hydrogels, the polysaccharide moiety is not solely a passive scaffold that presents the active peptides but is an active player in cell microenvironment to control and sustain cell activity.

Abstract
The recapitulation of the material properties and structure of the native aortic valve leaflet, specifically its anisotropy and laminate structure, is a major design goal for scaffolds for heart valve tissue engineering. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels are attractive scaffolds for this purpose as they are biocompatible, can be modified for their mechanical and biofunctional properties, and can be laminated. This study investigated augmenting PEG hydrogels with polycaprolactone (PCL) as an analog to the fibrosa to improve strength and introduce anisotropic mechanical behavior. However, due to its hydrophobicity, PCL must be modified prior to embedding within PEG hydrogels. In this study, PCL was electrospun (ePCL) and modified in three different ways, by protein adsorption (pPCL), alkali digestion (hPCL), and acrylation (aPCL). Modified PCL of all types maintained the anisotropic elastic moduli and yield strain of unmodified anisotropic ePCL. Composites of PEG and PCL (PPCs) maintained anisotropic elastic moduli, but aPCL and pPCL had isotropic yield strains. Overall, PPCs of all modifications had elastic moduli of 3.79±0.90 MPa and 0.46±0.21 MPa in the parallel and perpendicular directions, respectively. Valvular interstitial cells seeded atop anisotropic aPCL displayed an actin distribution aligned in the direction of the underlying fibers. The resulting scaffold combines the biocompatibility and tunable fabrication of PEG with the strength and anisotropy of ePCL to form a foundation for future engineered valve scaffolds.

Abstract
Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are currently recognized as a powerful cell source for regenerative medicine, notably for their capacity to differentiate into multiple cell types. The combination of MSCs with biomaterials functionalized with instructive cues can be used as a strategy to direct specific lineage commitment, and can thus improve the therapeutic efficacy of these cells. In terms of biomaterial design, one common approach is the functionalization of materials with ligands capable of directly binding to cell receptors and trigger specific differentiation signaling pathways. Other strategies focus on the use of moieties that have an indirect effect, acting, for example, as sequesters of bioactive ligands present in the extracellular milieu that, in turn, will interact with cells. Compared with complex biomolecules, the use of simple compounds, such as chemical moieties and peptides, and other small molecules can be advantageous by leading to less expensive and easily tunable biomaterial formulations. This review describes different strategies that have been used to promote substrate-mediated guidance of osteogenic differentiation of immature osteoblasts, osteoprogenitors and MSCs, through chemically conjugated small moieties, both in two- and three-dimensional set-ups. In each case, the selected moiety, the coupling strategy and the main findings of the study were highlighted. The latest advances and future perspectives in the field are also discussed.

Abstract
Anisotropic geometries are critical for eliciting cell alignment to dictate tissue microarchitectures and biological functions. Current fabrication techniques are complex and utilize toxic solvents, hampering their applications for translational research. Here, we present a novel simple, solvent-free, and reproducible method via uniaxial stretching for incorporating anisotropic topographies on bioresorbable films with ambitions to realize stem cell alignment control. Uniaxial stretching of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) films resulted in a three-dimensional micro-ridge/groove topography (inter-ridge-distance: ~6 μm; ridge-length: ~90 μm; ridge-depth: 200-900 nm) with uniform distribution and controllable orientation by the direction of stretch on the whole film surface. When stretch temperature (Ts) and draw ratio (DR) were increased, the inter-ridge-distance was reduced and ridge-length increased. Through modification of hydrolysis, increased surface hydrophilicity was achieved, while maintaining the morphology of PCL ridge/grooves. Upon seeding human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) on uniaxial-stretched PCL (UX-PCL) films, aligned hMSC organization was obtained. Compared to unstretched films, hMSCs on UX-PCL had larger increase in cellular alignment (>85%) and elongation, without indication of cytotoxicity or reduction in cellular proliferation. This aligned hMSC organization was homogenous and stably maintained with controlled orientation along the ridges on the whole UX-PCL surface for over 2 weeks. Moreover, the hMSCs on UX-PCL had a higher level of myogenic genes' expression than that on the unstretched films. We conclude that uniaxial stretching has potential in patterning film topography with anisotropic structures. The UX-PCL in conjunction with hMSCs could be used as "basic units" to create tissue constructs with microscale control of cellular alignment and elongation for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Biodegradable polymer based novel drug delivery systems have provided many avenues to improve therapeutic efficacy and pharmacokinetic parameters of medicinal entities. Among synthetic biodegradable polymer, poly-є-caprolactone (PCL) is a polymer with very low glass transition temperature and melting point. Owing to its amicable nature and tailorable properties it has been trialed in almost all novel drug delivery systems and tissue engineering application in use/investigated so far. This review aims to provide an up to date of drugs incorporated in different PCL based formulations, their purpose and brief outcomes. Demonstrated PCL formulations with or without drugs, intended for drug delivery and/or tissue engineering application such as microsphere, nanoparticles, scaffolds, films, fibers, micelles etc. are categorized based on method of preparation.
