Abstract
Achieving hemostasis is a necessary intervention to rapidly and effectively control bleeding. Conventional hemostatic materials currently used in clinical practice may aggravate the damage at the bleeding site due to factors such as poor adhesion and poor adaptation. Compared to most traditional hemostatic materials, polymer-based hemostatic materials have better biocompatibility and offer several advantages. They provide a more effective method of stopping bleeding and avoiding additional damage to the body in case of excessive blood loss. Various hemostatic materials with greater functionality have been developed in recent years for different organs using diverse design strategies. This article reviews the latest advances in the development of polymeric hemostatic materials. We introduce the coagulation cascade reaction after bleeding and then discuss the hemostatic mechanisms and advantages and disadvantages of various polymer materials, including natural, synthetic, and composite polymer hemostatic materials. We further focus on the design strategies, properties, and characterization of hemostatic materials, along with their applications in different organs. Finally, challenges and prospects for the application of hemostatic polymeric materials are summarized and discussed. We believe that this review can provide a reference for related research on hemostatic materials, contributing to the further development of polymer hemostatic materials.

Abstract
The development of a natural, additive-free, absorbable sponge with procoagulant activity for noncompressible hemostasis remains a challenging task. In this study, we extracted high molecular weight keratin (HK) from human hair and transformed it into a hemostatic sponge with a well-interconnected pore structure using a foaming technique, freeze-drying, and oxidation cross-linking. By controlling the cross-linking degree, the resulting sponge demonstrated excellent liquid absorption ability, shape recovery characteristics, and robust mechanical properties. The HK10 sponge exhibited rapid liquid absorption, expanding up to 600% within 5 s. Moreover, the HK sponge showed superior platelet activation and blood cell adhesion capabilities. In SD rat liver defect models, the sponges demonstrated excellent hemostatic performance by sealing the wound and expediting coagulation, reducing the hemostatic time from 825 to 297 s. Furthermore, HK sponges have excellent biosafety, positioning them as a promising absorbable sponge with the potential for the treatment of noncompressible hemostasis.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex physiological process involving hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling. Therefore, there is an urgent need for suitable wound dressings for effective and systematical wound management. Polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives offer unique advantages and are ideal candidates. However, comprehensive reviews on polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives for wound healing are still lacking. In this review, the physiological mechanisms and evaluation parameters of wound healing were first described in detail. Then, the working principles of hydrogel bio-adhesives were summarized. Recent advances made in multifunctional polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives involving gelatin, silk fibroin, fibrin, keratin, poly-γ-glutamic acid, ɛ-poly-lysine, serum albumin, and elastin with pro-healing activities in wound healing and tissue repair were reviewed. Finally, the current status, challenges, developments, and future trends of polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives were discussed, hoping that further developments would be stimulated to meet the growing needs of their clinical applications.

Abstract
Skin, the largest biological organ, consists of three main parts: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. Wounds are abnormal wounds in various forms, such as lacerations, burns, chronic wounds, diabetic wounds, acute wounds, and fractures. The wound healing process is dynamic, complex, and lengthy in four stages involving cells, macrophages, and growth factors. Wound dressing refers to a substance that covers the surface of a wound to prevent infection and secondary damage. Biomaterials applied in wound management have advanced significantly. Natural biomaterials are increasingly used due to their advantages including biomimicry of ECM, convenient accessibility, and involvement in native wound healing. However, there are still limitations such as low mechanical properties and expensive extraction methods. Therefore, their combination with synthetic biomaterials and/or adding bioactive agents has become an option for researchers in this field. In the present study, the stages of natural wound healing and the effect of biomaterials on its direction, type, and level will be investigated. Then, different types of polysaccharides and proteins were selected as desirable natural biomaterials, polymers as synthetic biomaterials with variable and suitable properties, and bioactive agents as effective additives. In the following, the structure of selected biomaterials, their extraction and production methods, their participation in wound healing, and quality control techniques of biomaterials-based wound dressings will be discussed.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage results in various complications and is currently the leading cause of death in the general population. Traditional hemostatic methods have drawbacks that may lead to ineffective hemostasis and even the risk of secondary injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective hemostatic techniques. Polymeric hemostatic materials, particularly hydrogels, are ideal due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, absorption, and versatility. Functional hemostatic hydrogels can enhance hemostasis by creating physical circumstances conducive to hemostasis or by directly interfering with the physiological processes of hemostasis. The procoagulant principles include increasing the concentration of localized hemostatic substances or establishing a physical barrier at the physical level and intervention in blood cells or the coagulation cascade at the physiological level. Moreover, synergistic hemostasis can combine these functions. However, some hydrogels are ineffective in promoting hemostasis or have a limited application scope. These defects have impeded the advancement of hemostatic hydrogels. To provide inspiration and resources for new designs, this review provides an overview of the procoagulant principles of hemostatic hydrogels. We also discuss the challenges in developing effective hemostatic hydrogels and provide viewpoints.

Abstract
Uncontrollable hemorrhage and subsequent wound infection pose severe threats to life, especially in the case of deep, non-compressible, massive bleeding. Here, a wool keratin/zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (WK/ZIF-8) composite shape memory sponge is prepared by incorporating ZIF-8 nanoparticles into wool keratin. The combination of keratin and ZIF-8 particles not only reduces the effect of ZIF-8 particles on cell viability but also bolsters the mechanical properties of the keratin sponge and endows it with antibacterial efficacy. Due to the synergistic effect of the excellent hemostatic performance of keratin and Zn2+ release from ZIF-8 nanoparticles, the porous structure suitable for blood cell adhesion and the shape recovery ability of sponges, the WK/ZIF-8 composite sponge exhibits superior hemostatic performance to commercial medical sponges in SD rat and rabbit hemorrhage models. In addition, in vitro and in vivo antibacterial experiments demonstrate the anti-infection activity of the composite sponge. Overall, the WK/ZIF-8 composite sponge provides a promising approach to rapidly control bleeding and promote wound healing.

Abstract
Prolonged inflammation can impede wound healing, which is regulated by several proteins and cytokines, including IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, and TGF-β. Concentration-dependent effects of these molecules at the target site have been investigated by researchers to develop them as wound-healing agents by regulating signaling strength. Nanotechnology has provided a promising approach to achieve tissue-targeted delivery and increased effective concentration by developing protein-functionalized nanoparticles with growth factors (EGF, IGF, FGF, PDGF, TGF-β, TNF-α, and VEGF), antidiabetic wound-healing agents (insulin), and extracellular proteins (keratin, heparin, and silk fibroin). These molecules play critical roles in promoting cell proliferation, migration, ECM production, angiogenesis, and inflammation regulation. Therefore, protein-functionalized nanoparticles have emerged as a potential strategy for improving wound healing in delayed or impaired healing cases. This review summarizes the preparation and applications of these nanoparticles for normal or diabetic wound healing and highlights their potential to enhance wound healing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The silicified cell wall of diatoms, also known as frustule, shows huge potential as an outstanding bio-nanomaterial for hemostatic applications due to its high hemostatic efficiency, good biocompatibility, and ready availability. As the architectural features of the frustule determine its hemostatic performance, it is of great interest to develop an effective method to modify the frustule morphology into desired patterns to further improve hemostatic efficiency. RESULTS In this study, the gene encoding Silicalemma Associated Protein 2 (a silicalemma-spanning protein) of Cyclotella cryptica (CcSAP2) was identified as a key gene in frustule morphogenesis. Thus, it was overexpressed and knocked down, respectively. The frustule of the overexpress lines showed no obvious alteration in morphology compared to the wild type (WT), while the size, specific surface area (BET), pore volume, and pore diameter of the knockdown strains changed greatly. Particularly, the knockdown frustules achieved a more pronounced coagulation effect and in vivo hemostatic performance than the WT strains. Such observations suggested that silicalemma proteins are ideal genetic encoding targets for manipulating frustule morphology associated hemostatic properties. Furthermore, the Mantel test was adopted to identify the key morphologies associated with C. cryptica bleeding control. Finally, based on our results and recent advances, the mechanism of frustule morphogenesis was discussed. CONCLUSION This study explores a new strategy for enhancing the hemostatic efficiency of the frustule based on genetic morphology modification and may provide insights into a better understanding of the frustule morphogenesis mechanism.

Abstract
In preclinical studies, human hair has demonstrated effective hemostatic properties, potentially attributed to keratin proteins facilitating rapid conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin during coagulation. However, the rational use of human hair keratin for hemostasis remains unclear, given its complex mixture of proteins with diverse molecular weights and structures, leading to variable hemostatic capacity. To optimize the rational utilization of human hair keratin for hemostasis, we investigated the effects of different keratin fractions on keratin-mediated fibrinogen precipitation using a fibrin generation assay. Our study focused on high molecular weight keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs) and lower molecular weight keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) combined in various ratios during the fibrin generation. Scanning electron microscope analysis of the precipitates revealed a filamentous pattern with a broad distribution of fiber diameters, likely due to the diversity of keratin mixtures involved. An equal proportion of KIFs and KAPs in the mixture yielded the most extensive precipitation of soluble fibrinogen in an in vitro study, potentially due to structure-induced exposure of active sites. However, all hair protein samples exhibited diverse catalytic behaviors compared to thrombin, highlighting the potential of utilizing specific hair fractions to develop hair protein-based hemostatic materials with optimized capacity.

Abstract
The development of new scaffolds and materials for tissue engineering is a wide and open realm of material science. Among solutions, the use of biopolymers represents a particularly interesting area of study due to their great chemical complexity that enables creation of specific molecular architectures. However, biopolymers do not exhibit the properties required for direct application in tissue repair-such as mechanical and electrical properties-but they do show very attractive chemical functionalities which are difficult to produce through in vitro synthesis. The combination of biopolymers with nanostructured carbon fillers could represent a robust solution to enhance composite properties, producing composites with new and unique features, particularly relating to electronic conduction. In this paper, we provide a review of the field of carbonaceous nanostructure-containing biopolymer composites, limiting our investigation to tissue-engineering applications, and providing a complete overview of the recent and most outstanding achievements.

Abstract
The most commonly used tissue substitute for ocular surface reconstruction is human amniotic membrane (AM). Because of its low biomechanical strength and intransparency there is a need to search for alternatives of consistent quality. This study, further explored the biocompatibility of Keratin Film (KF) and its ability to sustain corneal epithelial wound healing. In three equal groups of 5 New Zeeland white rabbits a 4 mm superficial keratectomy was created in the right eye. Five eyes received a KF, five a human AM graft and the remaining five no implant. All eyes were treated with ofloxacin and dexamethasone eye drops and followed up for 10 days. Corneal fluorescein staining, vascularization, and transparency were assessed using slit lamp biomicroscopy according to a standardized grading score during and at the end of follow-up. The corneal-scleral-button was excised and processed for histology. After 10 days all eyes which had received a KF showed complete epithelial healing and no signs of neovascularization. In the AM group 1 eye showed a persistent epithelial defect at day 10 and 2 eyes showed neovascularization at day 7 resolving at day 10. Transparency improved progressively both in the KF group as well as in the AM group towards the end of the follow. Histology showed a multilayer epithelium firmly adherent to the KF with no evidence of keratocyte migration or inflammatory reaction in the corneal stroma. In this study on rabbit eyes KF better supported corneal epithelial wound healing than amniotic membrane.

Abstract
During trauma and surgery, bleeding is a major concern. One of the crucial strategies for hemostasis is the use of biological hemostatic material. Herein, we reported an amino acid-based hydrogel FmocF-ADP hydrogel, which consisted of N-[(9H-fluoren-9-ylmethoxy) carbonyl]-3-phenyl-L-alanine (FmocF) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) sodium solution. The hydrogel was created by FmocF self-assembling to nanofiber in ADP sodium solution and then cross-linking to hydrogel. FmocF-ADP hydrogel showed good in vitro coagulation activity as measured by whole blood clotting assays, platelet clotting assays, platelet activation assays, and platelet adhesion assays. Further, it was noted to reveal an exceptional in vivo hemostatic effect in a mouse liver bleeding model. Together with the previous report of the good biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of FmocF hydrogel, our study would extend the biomedical application of FmocF hydrogel. In conclusion, the present study would provide a constructive strategy for the development of new antimicrobial and hemostatic materials or develop a potential hemostatic material.

Abstract
Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of trauma-related deaths, in hospital and pre-hospital settings. Hemostasis is a complex mechanism that involves a cascade of clotting factors and proteins that result in the formation of a strong clot. In certain surgical and emergency situations, hemostatic agents are needed to achieve faster blood coagulation to prevent the patient from experiencing a severe hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, it is critical to consider appropriate materials and designs for hemostatic agents. Many materials have been fabricated as hemostatic agents, including synthetic and naturally derived polymers. However, compared to synthetic polymers, natural polymers or biopolymers, which include polysaccharides and polypeptides, have greater biocompatibility, biodegradability, and processibility. Thus, in this review, we focus on biopolymer-based hemostatic agents of different forms, such as powder, particles, sponges, and hydrogels. Finally, we discuss biopolymer-based hemostats currently in clinical trials and offer insight into next-generation hemostats for clinical translation.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding leads to a higher fatality rate in the situation of surgery, traffic accidents and warfare. Traditional hemostatic materials such as bandages are not ideal for uncontrolled or incompressible bleeding. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new medical biomaterial with excellent rapid hemostatic effect. Keratin is a natural, biocompatible and biodegradable protein which contains amino acid sequences that induce cell adhesion. As a potential biomedical material, keratin has been developed and paid attention in tissue engineering fields such as promoting wound healing and nerve repair. Herein, a keratin/chitosan (K/C) sponge was prepared to achieve rapid hemostasis. The characterizations of K/C sponge were investigated, including SEM, TGA, liquid absorption and porosity, showing that the high porosity up to 90.12 ± 2.17 % resulted in an excellent blood absorption. The cytotoxicity test and implantation experiment proved that the K/C sponge was biocompatible and biodegradable. Moreover, the prepared K/C sponge showed better hemostatic performance than chitosan sponge (CS) and the commercially available gelatin sponge in both rat tail amputation and liver trauma bleeding models. Further experiments showed that K/C sponge plays a hemostatic role through the endogenous coagulation pathway, thus shortening the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) effectively. Therefore, this study provided a K/C sponge which can be served as a promising biomedical hemostatic material.

Abstract
Keratin is a natural protein with a high content of cysteine residues (7-13%) and is widely found in hair, wool, horns, hooves, and nails. Keratin possesses abundant cell-binding motifs such as leucine-aspartate-valine (LDV), glutamate-aspartate-serine (EDS), and arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD), which benefit cell attachment and proliferation. It has been confirmed that keratin plays important roles in every stage of wound healing, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, making keratin-based materials good candidates for wound dressings. In combination with synthetic and natural polymers, keratin-based wound dressings in the forms of films, hydrogels, and nanofibers can be achieved with improved mechanical properties. This review focuses on the recent development of keratin-based wound dressings. Firstly, the physicochemical and biological properties of keratin, are systematically discussed. Secondly, the role of keratin in wound healing is proposed. Thirdly, the applications of keratin-based wound dressings are summarized, in terms of the forms and functionalization. Finally, the current challenges and future development of keratin-based wound dressings are presented.

Abstract
Uncontrollable bleeding and infection are two of the most common causes of trauma-related death. Yet, developing safe materials with high hemostatic and antibacterial effectiveness remains a challenge. Keratin-based biomaterials have been reported to exhibit the functions of enhancing platelet binding and activating and facilitating fibrinogen polymerization. In this study, we designed a hemostatic material with good biodegradability, biocompatibility, hemostatic ability, and antibacterial function to solve the shortcomings of common hemostatic materials. Methylene blue-loaded keratin/alginate composite scaffolds were prepared by the freeze-gelation method. The composite scaffolds exhibited over 1600% liquid absorption, well-interconnected pores, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability. We find that the keratin/alginate composite scaffolds' synergistic action may significantly reduce hemostasis time. To prevent infection, the drug-loaded scaffolds generated high burst release by absorbing wound exudate in the early stages of wound healing. The results obtained by the antimicrobial photoinactivation assay in vitro suggest that an antimicrobial photodynamic effect might be triggered, thereby preventing the fast growth of colonies.

Abstract
Hemostatic biomaterials show great promise in wound control for the treatment of uncontrolled bleeding associated with damaged tissues, traumatic wounds, and surgical incisions. A surge of interest has been directed at boosting hemostatic properties of bioactive materials via mechanisms triggering the coagulation cascade. A wide variety of biocompatible and biodegradable materials has been applied to the design of hemostatic platforms for rapid blood coagulation. Recent trends in the design of hemostatic agents emphasize chemical conjugation of charged moieties to biomacromolecules, physical incorporation of blood-coagulating agents in biomaterials systems, and superabsorbing materials in either dry (foams) or wet (hydrogel) states. In addition, tough bioadhesives are emerging for efficient and physical sealing of incisions. In this Review, we highlight the biomacromolecular design approaches adopted to develop hemostatic bioactive materials. We discuss the mechanistic pathways of hemostasis along with the current standard experimental procedures for characterization of the hemostasis efficacy. Finally, we discuss the potential for clinical translation of hemostatic technologies, future trends, and research opportunities for the development of next-generation surgical materials with hemostatic properties for wound management.

Abstract
Hydrogel membrane dressings with multifunctional tunable properties encompassing biocompatibility, anti-bacterial, oxygen permeability, and adequate mechanical strength are highly preferred for wound healing. The present study aimed to develop biopolymer-based hydrogel membranes for the controlled release of therapeutic agent at the wound site. Toward this end we developed Cefotaxime sodium (CTX) loaded keratin (KR)-pullulan (PL) based hydrogel membrane dressings. All membranes show optimized vapor transmission rate (≥1000 g/ m2/day), oxygen permeability >8.2 mg/mL, MTT confirmed good biocompatibility and sufficient tensile strength (17.53 ± 1.9) for being used as a wound dressing. Nonetheless, KR-PL-PVA membranes show controlled CTX release due to enriched hydrophilic moieties which protect the wound from getting infected. In vivo results depict that CTX-KR-PL-PVA membrane group shows a rapid wound closure rate (p < 0.05) with appreciable angiogenesis, accelerated re-epithelization, and excessive collagen deposition at the wound site. These results endorsed that CTX-KR-PL-PVA hydrogel membranes are potential candidates for being used as dressing material in the diabetic wound.

Abstract
Keratins are considered ideal candidates as hemostatic agents, but the development lags far behind their potentials due to the poorly understood hemostatic mechanism and structure-function relations, owing to the composition complexity in protein extracts. Here, it is shown that by using a recombinant synthesis approach, individual types of keratins can be expressed and used for mechanism investigation and further high-performance keratin hemostatic agent design. In the comparative evaluation of full-length, rod-domain, and helical segment keratins, the α-helical contents in the sequences are identified to be directly proportional to keratins' hemostatic activities, and Tyr, Phe, and Gln residues at the N-termini of α-helices in keratins are crucial in fibrinopeptide release and fibrin polymerization. A feasible route to significantly enhance the hemostatic efficiency of helical keratins by mutating Cys to Ser in the sequences for enhanced water wettability through soluble expression is then further presented. These results provide a rational strategy to design high-efficiency keratin hemostatic agents with superior performance over clinically used gelatin sponge in multiple animal models.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease that involves excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and osteochondral defects. Although multiple approaches have been developed for osteochondral regeneration, how to balance the biochemical and physical microenvironment in OA remains a big challenge. In this study, a bioceramic scaffold by 3D printed akermanite (AKT) integrated with hair-derived antioxidative nanoparticles (HNPs)/microparticles (HMPs) for ROS scavenging and osteochondral regeneration has been developed. The prepared bioscaffold with multi-mimetic enzyme effects, which can scavenge a broad spectrum of free radicals in OA, can protect chondrocytes under the ROS microenvironment. Importantly, the bioscaffold can distinctly stimulate the proliferation and maturation of chondrocytes due to the stimulation of the glucose transporter pathway (GLUT) via HNPs/HMPs. Furthermore, it significantly accelerated osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). In vivo results showed that the bioscaffold can effectively enhance the osteochondral regeneration compared to the unmodified scaffold. The work shows that integration of antioxidant and mechanical properties via the bioscaffold is a promising strategy for osteochondral regeneration in OA treatment.

Abstract
Trauma-related excessive bleeding is one of the leading causes of death. Chitosan (CS) sponges have unique advantages in the treatment of massive bleeding, but their application is limited by poor stability and toxic crosslinking agent. In this work, chitosan/polyvinylpyrrolidone/zein (CS/PVP/Zein) sponges with macroporous structure were prepared, which exhibited rapid water absorption capacity and water-triggered expanding property with low cytotoxicity and low hemolysis ratio. In vitro blood coagulation experiments showed that CS/PVP/Zein sponges could clot blood significantly faster than commercial surgical gauze. Further investigation of the hemostatic mechanism suggested that the CS/PVP/Zein sponges could accelerate coagulation by promoting attachment of erythrocytes, activation of platelets, and rapid plasma protein absorption. Prepared sponges were also found effective in the rat femoral artery transection model to control bleeding. Overall, the CS/PVP/Zein sponges exhibited the potential to control trauma-related hemorrhage.

Abstract
Traumatic injury of the oral cavity is atypical and often accompanied by uncontrolled bleeding and inflammation. Injectable hydrogels have been considered to be promising candidates for the treatment of oral injuries because of their simple formulation, minimally invasive application technique, and site-specific delivery. Fibrinogen-based hydrogels have been widely explored as effective materials for wound healing in tissue engineering due to their uniqueness. Recently, an injectable foam has taken the spotlight. However, the fibrin component of this biomaterial is relatively stiff. To address these challenges, we created keratin-conjugated fibrinogen (KRT-FIB). This study aimed to develop a novel keratin biomaterial and assess cell-biomaterial interactions. Consequently, a novel injectable KRT-FIB hydrogel was optimized through rheological measurements, and its injection performance, swelling behavior, and surface morphology were investigated. We observed an excellent cell viability, proliferation, and migration/cell-cell interaction, indicating that the novel KRT-FIB-injectable hydrogel is a promising platform for oral tissue regeneration with a high clinical applicability.

Abstract
Abstrakt
W ostatnich latach istotnym obszarem zastosowania fibryny stała się inżynieria tkankowa, w której wykorzystuje się naturalne właściwości biostatyczne i bioaktywne fibryny, a także możliwość pułapkowania i wiązania w jej strukturze czynników wzrostu. Fibryna jest najczęściej stosowana w postaci żeli i dysków. Jednak każda postać wskutek pochłaniania wody docelowo przyjmuje postać żelu. Białko to w warunkach in vivo spełnia rolę rusztowania dla komórek, a także może być aplikowane w miejsca trudno dostępne – może wypełniać ubytki tkanek i podtrzymywać tkanki okalające, zapobiegając ich zapadaniu się. Ponadto fibryna hamuje krwawienie i inicjuje proces odnowy, jak również pełni rolę stymulatora wzrostu komórek. Przez modyfikacje struktury fibryny cząsteczkami adhezyjnymi, można przyspieszyć odbudowę prawidłowej struktury tkanek. Jej właściwości strukturalne mogą być także wykorzystywane jako rezerwuar czynników wzrostu i system ich przedłużonego uwalniania. Fibryna jest materiałem biodegradowalnym, umożliwiając skorelowanie ubytku matrycy fibrynowej z odbudową tkanek własnych pacjenta. Wprowadzenie metod druku 3D i elektroprzędzenia umożliwia formulację dopasowanych do uszkodzeń kształtek oraz włóknin bez utraty bioaktywnych funkcji fibryny. Metody te umożliwiają także poprawę właściwości mechanicznych przez otrzymywanie m.in. włóknin fibryny z innymi polimerami, co jest szczególnie uzasadnione w przypadku materiałów stosowanych w odbudowie takich struktur jak ścięgna czy kości. Biotechnologiczna synteza fibrynogenu może w przyszłości uniezależnić pozyskiwanie go z krwi i zwiększyć popularność wyrobów medycznych otrzymywanych z fibryny.

Abstract
Bioadhesives reduce operation time and surgical complications. However, in the presence of blood, adhesion strength is often compromised. Inspired by the blood clotting activity of snake venom, we report a visible light-induced blood-resistant hemostatic adhesive (HAD) containing gelatin methacryloyl and reptilase, which is a hemocoagulase (HC) extracted from Bothrops atrox HAD leads to the activation and aggregation of platelets and efficiently transforms fibrinogen into fibrin to achieve rapid hemostasis and seal the tissue. Blood clotting time with HAD was about 45 s compared with 5 to 6 min without HAD. HAD instantaneously achieved hemostasis on liver incision (~45 s) and cut rat tail (~34 s) and reduced blood loss by 79 and 78%, respectively. HAD is also efficient in sealing severely injured liver and abdominal aorta. HAD has great potential to bridge injured tissues by combing hemostasis with adhesives.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels hold promise in biomedical applications due to their noninvasive administration procedure and capacity enabling the filling of irregularly shaped defects. Protein-based hydrogels provide features including good biocompatibility and inherent biofunction. However, challenges still remain to develop a protein-based injectable hydrogel in a convenient way due to the limited active groups in proteins. Keratins are a group of cysteine-rich structural proteins found abundantly in skin and skin appendages. In this work, we utilized keratin and the Au(iii) salt to develop an injectable hydrogel based on the dynamic exchange between disulfide bonds (S-S) and gold(i)-thiolates (Au-S). Such a hydrogel could be prepared at the physiological pH and applied as an injectable hydrogel for biomedical applications including hemostatic and wound dressing materials. Our findings demonstrated that this keratin injectable hydrogel showed a good hemostatic effect in both tail amputation and liver injury models. Moreover, it was proved efficient as a drug loading carrier, and the deferoxamine-loaded hydrogel showed a desirable wound healing effect in a full-thickness excision wound model.

Abstract
The development of novel hemostatic agents with distinct modes of action from traditional ones remains a formidable challenge. Self-assembling peptide hydrogels have emerged as a new hemostatic material, not only because of their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability but also their designability. Especially, rational molecular design can make peptides and their hydrogelation responsive to biological cues. In this study, we demonstrated that transglutaminase-catalyzed reactions not only occurred among designed short peptide I3QGK molecules but also between the peptide and a natural polysaccharide O-carboxymethyl chitosan. Because Factor XIII in the blood can rapidly convert into activated transglutaminase (Factor XIIIa) upon bleeding, these enzymatic reactions, together with the electrostatic attraction between the two hemostatic agents, induced a strong synergetic effect in promoting hydrogelation, blood coagulation, and platelet adhesion, eventually leading to rapid hemostasis. The study presents a promising strategy for developing alternative hemostatic materials and methods.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 118:111430. [PMID: 33255025 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2019] [Revised: 08/04/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
A hybrid scaffold of gelatin-glycosaminoglycan matrix and fibrin (FGG) has been synthesized to improve the mechanical properties, degradation time and cell response of fibrin-like scaffolds. The FGG scaffold was fabricated by optimizing some properties of fibrin-only gel and gelatin-glycosaminoglycan (GG) scaffolds. Mechanical analysis of optimized fibrin-only gel showed the Young module and tensile strength of up to 72 and 121 KPa, respectively. Significantly, the nine-fold increase in the Young modulus and a seven-fold increase in tensile strength was observed when fibrin reinforced with GG scaffold. Additionally, the results demonstrated that the degradation time of fibrin was enhanced successfully up to 7 days which was much longer time compared to fibrin-only gel with 38 h of degradation time. More than 45% of FGG initial mass was preserved on day 7 in the presence of aprotinin. Human corneal fibroblast cells (HCFCs) were seeded on the FGG, fibrin-only gel and GG scaffolds for 5 days. The FGG scaffold showed excellent cell viability over 5 days, and the proliferation of HCFCs also increased significantly in comparison with fibrin-only gel and GG scaffolds. The FGG scaffold illustrates the great potential to use in which appropriate stability and mechanical properties are essential to tissue functionality.

Abstract
Broad interest in developing new hemostatic technologies arises from unmet needs in mitigating uncontrolled hemorrhage in emergency, surgical, and battlefield settings. Although a variety of hemostats, sealants, and adhesives are available, development of ideal hemostatic compositions that offer a range of remarkable properties including capability to effectively and immediately manage bleeding, excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial effect, and strong tissue adhesion properties, under wet and dynamic conditions, still remains a challenge. Benefiting from tunable mechanical properties, high porosity, biocompatibility, injectability and ease of handling, polymeric hydrogels with outstanding hemostatic properties have been receiving increasing attention over the past several years. In this review, after shedding light on hemostasis and wound healing processes, the most recent progresses in hydrogel systems engineered from natural and synthetic polymers for hemostatic applications are discussed based on a comprehensive literature review. Most studies described used in vivo models with accessible and compressible wounds to assess the hemostatic performance of hydrogels. The challenges that need to be tackled to accelerate the translation of these novel hemostatic hydrogel systems to clinical practice are emphasized and future directions for research in the field are presented.

Abstract
Keratin/chitosan composite is a readily available source for a hybrid hydrogel in tissue engineering. While human hair keratins could provide biological functions, chitosan could further enhance the mechanical strength of the hybrid hydrogels. However, hair keratin is a group of natural proteins, and the uncontrolled hair protein contents in a hydrogel may lead to the batch-to-batch inconsistent gel properties. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of hair protein composition, including the keratin-associated proteins (KAPs, 6-30 kDa) and keratin intermediate filaments (KIFs, 45-60 kDa) on gel characteristics of the keratin/chitosan hydrogel. The various compressive and tensile modulus of the gel was observed based on the selection of different protein fractions as the significant gel components. These results thus suggest a straightforward method of preparing hair keratin/chitosan hydrogel with much more controllable gel properties by merely modulating the KAPs/KIFs ratios in a gel.

Abstract
Keratins derived from human hair have been suggested to be particularly effective in general surgical wound healing. However, the healing of a combined radiation-wound injury is a multifaceted regenerative process. Here, hydrogels fabricated with human hair keratins were used to test the wound healing effects on rats suffering from combined radiation-wound injuries. Briefly, the keratin extracts were verified by dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis and amino acid analysis, and the keratin hydrogels were then characterized by morphological observation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and rheology analyses. The results of the cell viability assay indicated that the keratin hydrogels could enhance cell growth after radiation exposure. Furthermore, keratin hydrogels could accelerate wound repair and improve the survival rate in vivo. The results demonstrate that keratin hydrogels possess a strong ability to accelerate the repair of a combined radiation-wound injury, which opens up new tissue regeneration applications for keratins.

Abstract
Rapid and effective hemostatic materials have received wide attention not only in the battlefield but also in hospitals and clinics. Traditional hemostasis relies on materials with little designability which has many limitations. Nanohemostasis has been proposed since the use of peptides in hemostasis. Nanomaterials exhibit excellent adhesion, versatility, and designability compared to traditional materials, laying a good foundation for future hemostatic materials. This review first summarizes current hemostatic methods and materials, and then introduces several cutting-edge designs and applications of nanohemostatic materials such as polypeptide assembly, electrospinning of cyanoacrylate, and nanochitosan. Particularly, their advantages and working mechanisms are introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of nanohemostasis are discussed.

Abstract
An emerging focus in nanomedicine is the exploration of multifunctional nanocomposite materials that integrate stimuli-responsive, therapeutic, and/or diagnostic functions. In this effort, cysteine-rich proteins have drawn considerable attention as a versatile platform due to their good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and ease of chemical modification. This review surveys cysteine-rich protein-based biomedical materials, including protein-metal nanohybrids, gold nanoparticle-protein agglomerates, protein-based nanoparticles, and hydrogels, with an emphasis on their preparation methods, especially those based on the cysteine residue-related reactions. Their applications in tumor-targeted drug delivery and diagnostics are highlighted.

Abstract
The topical hemostatic agents in surgery are biomaterials that very important for surgeons to stop bleeding in the complicated areas. Currently available hemostatic agents are often expensive, ineffective or raise safety concerns. Synthetic rice starch-based sponge was an inexpensive and promising alternative. In this study, we synthesized and characterized a new hemostatic agent from rice starch and investigated their use as a hemostatic material. The rice starch-based sponge having interconnected pore were synthesized via blending of the rice starch and additive of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and glycerol in hot water, freezing and drying by vacuum sublimation with enlarged porosity and rapid swelling behavior. Characteristics of the final products were then investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS). In vivo studies using 4 rabbits with liver injury showed rice starch-based sponge blood aggregate formation as well as bulk blood coagulation inhibition. The biocompatibility tests showed that this sponge is safe and effective after follow-up for at least 6 months of animal and clinical trial.

Abstract
The keratin-based scaffolds are getting more and more attention in the application of tissue engineering. Though various approaches have been considered to improve the physical properties of these scaffolds, few succeeded in achieving the enhanced properties of the pure keratin scaffolds. Due to the presence of -OH, -NH2 , >CO, and -SH on the extracted human hair keratin (HHK), the formation of hydrogen bonds and disulfide bridges could be triggered under certain conditions, leading to the self-cross-linking of HHK materials. Herein, a simple and green strategy was introduced, via freeze-thaw cycles of keratin solutions without addition of extraneous reagents, to obtain the mechanically robust HHK scaffolds. The comparative quantitation of residual -SH among the samples treated with 1, 5, and 9 cycles confirmed the oxidation in the thaw process for forming disulfide bonds. So, the equivalent thaw time was applied in this study, and three groups of the treated samples after 1, 5, and 9 cycles with an appropriate extension thaw time were prepared to solely investigate the effects of physical cross-linking networks, primarily by formation of hydrogen bonds, on the properties of the obtained scaffolds. The systematic assessments including swelling behavior, porosity, thermal analysis, compressive measurement, and microstructural observation confirmed that the repetitive freeze-thaw treatment contributed to mechanically robust scaffolds with good porous interconnectivity. The cell culturing experiments further verified that these HHK scaffolds had desirable cytocompatibility, permitting the proper proliferation, attachment, and infiltration. Accordingly, this study provided a simple and efficient method to obtain biocompatible, mechanically robust keratin scaffolds. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Heparins are capable of improving blood compatibility, enhancing HUVEC viability, while inhibiting HUASMC proliferation. Combination of biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with keratin and heparins would provide an anticoagulant and endothelialization supporting environment for vascular tissue engineering. Herein, PCL and keratin were first coelectrospun and then covalently conjugated with heparins. The resulting mats were surface-characterized by ATR-FTIR, SEM, WCA, and XPS. Cell viability data showed that the heparinized PCL/keratin mats could motivate the adhesion and growth of HUVEC, while inhibit HUASMC proliferation. In addition, these mats could prolong blood clotting time and reduce platelet adhesion as well as no erythrolysis. Interestingly, these mats could catalyze the NO donor in blood to release NO, which could enhance endothelial cell growth, while decrease smooth muscle cell proliferation and platelet adhesion. In summary, the heparinized mats would be a good candidate as a scaffold for vascular tissue engineering. This study is novel in that we prepared a type of heparinized tissue scaffold that could catalyze the NO donor to release NO to regulate endothelialization without angiogenesis and thrombus formation.

Abstract
Impaired wound healing is a major medical problem in diabetes. The objective of this study was to determine the possible application of an insoluble fraction of fur-derived keratin biomaterial as a wound dressing in a full thickness surgical skin wound model in mice ( n = 20) with iatrogenically induced diabetes. The obtained keratin dressing was examined in vitro and in vivo. In vitro study showed the keratin dressing is tissue biocompatible and non-toxic for murine fibroblasts. Antimicrobial examination revealed the keratin dressing inhibited the growth of S. aureus and E. coli. In vivo studies showed the obtained dressing significantly ( p < 0.05) accelerated healing during the first week after surgery compared to control wounds. Keratin dressings were incorporated naturally into granulation and regenerating tissue without any visible signs of inflammatory response, which was confirmed by clinical and histopathological analysis. It is one of the first studies to show application of insoluble keratin proteins and its properties as a wound dressing. The obtained keratin dressing accelerated wound healing in mice with iatrogenically induced diabetes. Therefore, it can be considered as a safe and efficient wound dressing. Although future studies are needed to explain the molecular mechanism behind fur-derived keratin effect during the multilayer wound healing process, our findings may open the way for a new class of insoluble fur keratin dressings in chronic difficult to heal wounds treatment.

Abstract
With the prominent progress of biomedical engineering, materials with high biocompatibility and versatile functions are urgently needed. So far, hierarchical structures in nature have shed some light on the design of high performance materials both in concept and implementation. Inspired by these, the hierarchical micro-/nanostructures of human hair are explored and human hair is further broken into hierarchical microparticles (HMP) and hierarchical nanoparticles (HNP) with top-down procedures. Compared with commercialized carriers, such as liposomes or albumin nanoparticles, the obtained particles exhibit high hemocompatibility and negligible immunogenicity. Furthermore, these materials also display attentional abilities in the aspects of light absorption and free radical scavenging. It is found that HMP and HNP can prevent skin from UV-induced damage and relieve symptoms of cataract in vitro. Besides, both HMP and HNP show satisfactory photothermal conversion ability. By using microcomputed tomography and intravital fluorescence microscopy, it is found that warfarin-loaded HMP can rescue mice from vein thrombosis. In another aspect, HNP modified with tumor targeted aptamers exhibit dramatic antineoplastic effect, and suppress 96.8% of tumor growth in vivo. Thus, the multifaceted materials described here might provide a new tool for addressing biomedical challenges.

Abstract
The hair follicle is one of only two structures within the adult body that selectively degenerates and regenerates, making it an intriguing organ to study and use for regenerative medicine. Hair follicles have been shown to influence wound healing, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and harbor distinct populations of stem cells; this has led to cells from the follicle being used in clinical trials for tendinosis and chronic ulcers. In addition, keratin produced by the follicle in the form of a hair fiber provides an abundant source of biomaterials for regenerative medicine. In this review, we provide an overview of the structure of a hair follicle, explain the role of the follicle in regulating the microenvironment of skin and the impact on wound healing, explore individual cell types of interest for regenerative medicine, and cover several applications of keratin-based biomaterials.
