Guan X, Yao H, Wu J. Photocrosslinkable hydrogel of ibuprofen-chitosan methacrylate modulates inflammatory response. J Biomed Mater Res A 2024; 112:2001-2017. [PMID: 38837524 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024]
Abstract
Methacrylated biopolymers are unique and attractive in preparing photocrosslinkable hydrogels in biomedical applications. Here we report a novel chitosan (CS) derivative-based injectable hydrogel with anti-inflammatory capacity via methacrylation modification. First, ibuprofen (IBU) was conjugated to the backbone of CS by carbodiimide chemistry to obtain IBU-CS conjugate, which converts water-insoluble unmodified CS into water-soluble IBU-CS conjugate. The IBU-CS conjugate did not precipitate at the pH of 7, which was beneficial to subsequent chemical modification with methacrylic anhydride to prepare IBU-CS methacrylate (IBU-CS-MA) with significantly higher methacrylation substitution. Photocrosslinkable in situ gel formation of injectable IBU-CS-MA hydrogel was verified using lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) initiator under visible light. The IBU-CS-MA hydrogel showed good cytocompatibility as revealed by encapsulating and in vitro culturing murine fibroblasts within hydrogels. It promoted macrophage polarization toward M2 phenotype, as well as downregulated pro-inflammatory gene expression and upregulated anti-inflammatory gene expression of macrophages. The hydrogel also significantly reduced the reactive oxygen specifies (ROS) and nitrogen oxide (NO) produced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated macrophages. Upon subcutaneous implantation in a rat model, it significantly mitigated inflammatory responses as shown by significantly lower inflammatory cell density, less cell infiltration, and much thinner fibrous capsule compared with CS methacrylate (CS-MA) hydrogel. This study suggests that IBU-CS conjugate represents a feasible strategy for preparing CS-based methacrylate hydrogels for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The ideal tissue engineering scaffold should facilitate rapid cell infiltration and provide an optimal immune microenvironment during interactions with the host. Electrospinning can produce two-dimensional (2D) membranes mimicking the extracellular matrix. However, their dense structure hinders cell penetration, and their thin form restricts scaffold utility. In this study, latticed hydrogels were three-dimensional (3D) printed onto electrospun membranes. This technique allowed for layer-by-layer assembly of the membranes into 3D scaffolds, which maintained their resilience impressively under both dry and wet conditions. We assessed the cellular and host responses of these 3D nanofiber scaffolds by comparing random membranes and mesh-like membranes with three different mesh sizes (250, 500, and 750 μm). It was found that scaffolds with a mesh size of 500 μm were superior for M2 macrophage phenotype polarization, vascularization, and matrix deposition. Furthermore, it was confirmed by subsequent experiments such as RNA sequencing that the mesh-like topology may promote polarization to the M2 phenotype by affecting the PI3K/AKT pathway. In conclusion, our work offers a novel method for transforming 2D nanofiber membranes into 3D scaffolds. This method boasts flexibility, allowing for the use of varied electrospun membranes and hydrogels in terms of structure and composition. It has vast potential in tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Foreign body reaction (FBR) is a prevalent yet often overlooked pathological phenomenon, particularly within the field of biomedical implantation. The presence of FBR poses a heavy burden on both the medical and socioeconomic systems. This review seeks to elucidate the protein "fingerprint" of implant materials, which is generated by the physiochemical properties of the implant materials themselves. In this review, the activity of macrophages, the formation of foreign body giant cells (FBGCs), and the development of fibrosis capsules in the context of FBR are introduced. Additionally, the relationship between various implant materials and FBR is elucidated in detail, as is an overview of the existing approaches and technologies employed to alleviate FBR. Finally, the significance of implant components (metallic materials and non-metallic materials), surface CHEMISTRY (charge and wettability), and physical characteristics (topography, roughness, and stiffness) in establishing the protein "fingerprint" of implant materials is also well documented. In conclusion, this review aims to emphasize the importance of FBR on implant materials and provides the current perspectives and approaches in developing implant materials with anti-FBR properties.

Abstract
The ECM (extracellular matrix) is a major component of the vascular microenvironment that modulates vascular homeostasis. ECM proteins include collagens, elastin, noncollagen glycoproteins, and proteoglycans/glycosaminoglycans. ECM proteins form complex matrix structures, such as the basal lamina and collagen and elastin fibers, through direct interactions or lysyl oxidase-mediated cross-linking. Moreover, ECM proteins directly interact with cell surface receptors or extracellular secreted molecules, exerting matricellular and matricrine modulation, respectively. In addition, extracellular proteases degrade or cleave matrix proteins, thereby contributing to ECM turnover. These interactions constitute the ECM interactome network, which is essential for maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing pathological vascular remodeling. The current review mainly focuses on endogenous matrix proteins in blood vessels and discusses the interaction of these matrix proteins with other ECM proteins, cell surface receptors, cytokines, complement and coagulation factors, and their potential roles in maintaining vascular homeostasis and preventing pathological remodeling.

Abstract
The foreign body response (FBR) and organ fibrosis are complex biological processes involving the interaction between macrophages and fibroblasts. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying macrophage-fibroblast cross talk is crucial for developing strategies to mitigate implant encapsulation, a major cause of implant failure. This article reviews the current knowledge on the role of macrophages and fibroblasts in the FBR and organ fibrosis, highlighting the similarities between these processes. The FBR is characterized by the formation of a fibrotic tissue capsule around the implant, leading to functional impairment. Various factors, including material properties such as surface chemistry, stiffness, and topography, influence the degree of encapsulation. Cross talk between macrophages and fibroblasts plays a critical role in both the FBR and organ fibrosis. However, the precise molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Macrophages secrete a wide range of cytokines that modulate fibroblast behavior such as abundant collagen deposition and myofibroblast differentiation. However, the heterogeneity of macrophages and fibroblasts and their dynamic behavior in different tissue environments add complexity to this cross talk. Experimental evidence from in vitro studies demonstrates the impact of material properties on macrophage cytokine secretion and fibroblast physiology. However, the correlation between in vitro response and in vivo encapsulation outcomes is not robust. Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) offer a potential framework to understand and predict process complexity. AOPs describe causal relationships between measurable events leading to adverse outcomes, providing mechanistic insights for in vitro testing and predictive modeling. However, the development of an AOP for the FBR does require a comprehensive understanding of the molecular initiating events and key event relationships to identify which events are essential. In this article, we describe the current knowledge on macrophage-fibroblast cross talk in the FBR and discuss how targeted research can help build an AOP for implant-related fibrosis.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering scaffolds may provide a potential strategy for onlay bone grafts for oral implants. For determining the fate of scaffold biomaterials and osteogenesis effects, the host immune response is crucial. In the present study, bredigite (BRT) bioceramic scaffolds with an ordered arrangement structure (BRT-O) and a random morphology (BRT-R) were fabricated. The physicochemical properties of scaffolds were first characterized by scanning electron microscopy, mechanical test and micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In addition, their osteogenic and immunomodulatory properties in an onlay grafting model were investigated. In vitro, the BRT-O scaffolds facilitated the macrophage polarization towards a pro-regenerative M2 phenotype, which subsequently facilitated the migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo, an onlay grafting model was successfully established in the cranium of rabbits. In addition, the BRT-O scaffolds grafted on rabbit cranium promoted bone regeneration and CD68 + CD206 + M2 macrophage polarization. In conclusion, the 3D-printed BRT-O scaffold presents as a promising scaffold biomaterial for onlay grafts by regulating the local immune microenvironment.

Abstract
Immune engineering, a burgeoning field within regenerative medicine, involves a spectrum of strategies to optimize the intricate interplay between tissue regenerative biomaterials and the host tissue. These strategies are applied across different types of biomaterials and various disease models, which encompasses finely modulating the immune response at the levels of immune cells and factors, aiming to mitigate adverse effects like fibrosis and persistent inflammation that may arise at the injury site and consequently promote tissue regeneration. With the continuous progress in electrospinning technology, the immunoregulatory capabilities of electrospun fibers have gained substantial attention over the years. Electrospun fibers, with their extracellular matrix-like characteristics, high surface-area-to-volume ratio, and reliable pharmaceutical compound capacity, have emerged as key players among tissue engineering materials. This review specifically focuses on the role of electrospun fiber-based immune engineering, emphasizing their unique design strategies. Notably, electrospinning actively engages in immune engineering by modulating immune responses through four essential strategies: (i) surface modification, (ii) drug loading, (iii) physicochemical parameters, and (iv) biological grafting. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the intricate mechanisms of the immune system in injured tissues while unveiling the key strategies adopted by electrospun fibers to orchestrate immune regulation. Furthermore, the review explores the current developmental trends and limitations concerning the immunoregulatory function of electrospun fibers, aiming to drive the advancements in electrospun fiber-based immune engineering to its full potential.

Abstract
Biomaterial scaffolds boost tissue repair and regeneration by providing physical support, delivering biological signals and/or cells, and recruiting endogenous cells to facilitate tissue-material integration and remodeling. Foreign body response (FBR), an innate immune response that occurs immediately after biomaterial implantation, is a critical factor in determining the biological outcomes of biomaterial scaffolds. Electrospinning is of great simplicity and cost-effectiveness to produce nanofiber scaffolds with well-defined physicochemical properties and has been used in a variety of regenerative medicine applications in preclinical trials and clinical practice. A deep understanding of causal factors between material properties and FBR of host tissues is beneficial to the optimal design of electrospun scaffolds with favorable immunomodulatory properties. We herein prepared and characterized three electrospun scaffolds with distinct fiber configurations and investigated their effects on FBR in terms of immune cell-material interactions and host responses. Our results show that electrospun yarn scaffold results in greater cellular immune reactions and elevated FBR inin vivoassessments. Although the yarn scaffold showed aligned fiber bundles, it failed to induce cell elongation of macrophages due to its rough surface and porous grooves between yarns. In contrast, the aligned scaffold showed reduced FBR compared to the yarn scaffold, indicating a smooth surface is also a contributor to the immunomodulatory effects of the aligned scaffold. Our study suggests that balanced porousness and smooth surface of aligned fibers or yarns should be the key design parameters of electrospun scaffolds to modulate host responsein vivo.

Abstract
As a newly emerging organ transplantation technique, islet transplantation has shown the advantages of minimal trauma and high safety since it was first carried out. The proposal of the Edmonton protocol, which has been widely applied, was a breakthrough in this method. However, direct contact between islets and portal vein blood will cause a robust innate immune response leading to massive apoptosis of the graft, and macrophages play an essential role in the innate immune response. Therefore, therapeutic strategies targeting macrophages in the innate immune response have become a popular research topic in recent years. This paper will summarize and analyze recent research on strategies for regulating innate immunity, primarily focusing on macrophages, in the field of islet transplantation, including drug therapy, optimization of islet preparation process, islet engineering and Mesenchymal stem cells cotransplantation. We also expounded the heterogeneity, plasticity and activation mechanism of macrophages in islet transplantation, providing a theoretical basis for further research.

Therein, the resulting gap between transcutaneous implant and skin represents a permanent infection risk, limiting the field of application and the duration of application. To overcome this limitation, a tight physiological connection is required to achieve a biological and mechanical welding for a long-term stable closure including self-healing probabilities. This study describes a new approach, wherein the implant is connected covalently to a highly porous electrospun fleece featuring physiological dermal integration potential. The integrative potential of the scaffold is shown in vitro and confirmed in vivo, further demonstrating tissue integration by neovascularization, extracellular matrix formation, and prevention of encapsulation. To achieve a covalent connection between fleece and implant surface, self-initiated photografting and photopolymerization of hydroxyethylmethacrylate is combined with a new crosslinker (methacrylic acid coordinated titanium-oxo clusters) on proton-abstractable implant surfaces. For implant modification, the attached fleece is directed perpendicular from the implant surface into the surrounding dermal tissue. First in vitro skin implantations demonstrate the implants' dermal integration capability as well as wound closure potential on top of the fleece by epithelialization, establishing a bacteria-proof and self-healing connection of skin and transcutaneous implant.

Abstract
Alternative engineering approaches have led the design of implants with controlled physical features to minimize adverse effects in biological tissues. Similar efforts have focused on optimizing the design features of percutaneous VAD drivelines with the aim to prevent infection, omitting however a thorough look on the implant-skin interactions that govern local tissue reactions. Here, we utilized an integrated approach for the biophysical modification of transdermal implants and their evaluation by chronic sheep implantation in comparison to the standard of care VAD drivelines. We developed a novel method for the transfer of breath topographical features on thin wires with modular size. We examined the impact of implant's diameter, surface topography, and chemistry on macroscopic, histological, and physical markers of inflammation, fibrosis, and mechanical adhesion. All implants demonstrated infection-free performance. The fibrotic response was enhanced by the increasing diameter of implants but not influenced by their surface properties. The implants of small diameter promoted mild inflammatory responses with improved mechanical adhesion and restricted epidermal downgrowth, in both silicone and polyurethane coated transdermal wires. On the contrary, the VAD drivelines with larger diameter triggered severe inflammatory reactions with frequent epidermal downgrowth. We validated these effects by quantifying the infiltration of macrophages and the level of vascularization in the fibrotic zone, highlighting the critical role of size reduction for the benign integration of transdermal implants with skin. This insight on how the biophysical properties of implants impact local tissue reactions could enable new solutions on the transdermal transmission of power, signal, and mass in a broad range of medical devices.

[PMID: 37303852 PMCID: PMC10248805 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.05.014] [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: 11/17/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2023] [Accepted: 05/20/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrophage-assisted immunomodulation is an alternative strategy in tissue engineering, wherein the interplay between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory macrophage cells and body cells determines the fate of healing or inflammation. Although several reports have demonstrated that tissue regeneration depends on spatial and temporal regulation of the biophysical or biochemical microenvironment of the biomaterial, the underlying molecular mechanism behind immunomodulation is still under consideration for developing immunomodulatory scaffolds. Currently, most fabricated immunomodulatory platforms reported in the literature show regenerative capabilities of a particular tissue, for example, endogenous tissue (e.g., bone, muscle, heart, kidney, and lungs) or exogenous tissue (e.g., skin and eye). In this review, we briefly introduced the necessity of the 3D immunomodulatory scaffolds and nanomaterials, focusing on material properties and their interaction with macrophages for general readers. This review also provides a comprehensive summary of macrophage origin and taxonomy, their diverse functions, and various signal transduction pathways during biomaterial-macrophage interaction, which is particularly helpful for material scientists and clinicians for developing next-generation immunomodulatory scaffolds. From a clinical standpoint, we briefly discussed the role of 3D biomaterial scaffolds and/or nanomaterial composites for macrophage-assisted tissue engineering with a special focus on bone and associated tissues. Finally, a summary with expert opinion is presented to address the challenges and future necessity of 3D bioprinted immunomodulatory materials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Periosteum has shown potential as an effective barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). However, if recognized as a "foreign body," insertion of a barrier membrane in GBR treatment will inevitably alter the local immune microenvironment and subsequently influence bone regeneration. The aim of this investigation was to fabricate decellularized periosteum (DP) and investigate its immunomodulatory properties in GBR. DP was successfully fabricated from periosteum from the mini-pig cranium. In vitro experiments indicated that the DP scaffold modulated macrophage polarization toward a pro-regenerative M2 phenotype, which in turn facilitated migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A rat GBR model with a cranial critical-size defect was established, and our in vivo experiment confirmed the beneficial effects of DP on the local immune microenvironment and bone regeneration. Collectively, the findings of this study indicate that the prepared DP possesses immunomodulatory properties and represents a promising barrier membrane for GBR procedures.

Abstract
Biomaterials are omnipresent in today's healthcare services and are employed in various applications, including implants, sensors, healthcare accessories, and drug delivery systems. Unfavorable host immunological responses frequently jeopardize the efficacy of biomaterials. As a result, surface modification has received much attention in controlling inflammatory responses since it helps camouflage the biomaterial from the host immune system, influencing the foreign body response (FBR) from protein adsorption to fibrous capsule formation. Surfaces with controlled nanotopography and chemistry, among other surface modification methodologies, have effectively altered the immune response to biomaterials. However, the field is still in its early stages, with only a few studies showing a synergistic effect of surface chemistry and nanotopography on inflammatory and wound healing pathways. Therefore, this review will concentrate on the individual and synergistic effects of surface chemistry and nanotopography on FBR modulation and the molecular processes known to modulate these responses. This review will also provide insights into crucial research gaps and advancements in various tactics for modulating FBR, opening new paths for future research. This will further aid in improving our understanding of the immune response to biomaterials, developing advanced surface modification techniques, designing immunomodulatory biomaterials, and translating discoveries into clinical applications.

[PMID: 37392934 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.06.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic β cells. Transplantation of immunoisolated pancreatic islets might treat T1DM in the absence of chronic immunosuppression. Important advances have been made in the past decade as capsules can be produced that provoke minimal to no foreign body response after implantation. However, graft survival is still limited as islet dysfunction may occur due to chronic damage to islets during islet isolation, immune responses induced by inflammatory cells, and nutritional issues for encapsulated cells. This review summarizes the current challenges for promoting longevity of grafts. Possible strategies for improving islet graft longevity are also discussed, including supplementation of the intracapsular milieu with essential survival factors, promotion of vascularization and oxygenation near capsules, modulation of biomaterials, and co-transplantation of accessory cells. Current insight is that both the intracapsular as well as the extracapsular properties should be improved to achieve long-term survival of islet-tissue. Some of these approaches reproducibly induce normoglycemia for more than a year in rodents. Further development of the technology requires collective research efforts in material science, immunology, and endocrinology. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Islet immunoisolation allows for transplantation of insulin producing cells in absence of immunosuppression and might facilitate the use of xenogeneic cell sources or grafting of cells obtained from replenishable cell sources. However, a major challenge to date is to create a microenvironment that supports long-term graft survival. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the currently identified factors that have been demonstrated to be involved in either stimulating or reducing islet graft survival in immunoisolating devices and discussed current strategies to enhance the longevity of encapsulated islet grafts as treatment for type 1 diabetes. Although significant challenges remain, interdisciplinary collaboration across fields may overcome obstacles and facilitate the translation of encapsulated cell therapy from the laboratory to clinical application.

Abstract
Solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients require meticulously tailored immunosuppressive regimens to minimize graft loss and mortality. Traditional approaches focus on inhibiting effector T cells, while the intricate and dynamic immune responses mediated by other components remain unsolved. Emerging advances in synthetic biology and material science have provided novel treatment modalities with increased diversity and precision to the transplantation community. This review investigates the active interface between these two fields, highlights how living and non-living structures can be engineered and integrated for immunomodulation, and discusses their potential application in addressing the challenges in SOT clinical practice.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising strategy for cartilage defect repair. However, autologous cartilage regeneration is limited by additional trauma to the donor site and a long in vitro culture period. Alternatively, allogenic cartilage regeneration has attracted attention because of the unique advantages of an abundant donor source and immediate supply, but it will cause immune rejection responses (IRRs), especially in immunocompetent large animals. Therefore, a universal technique needs to be established to overcome IRRs for allogenic cartilage regeneration in large animals. In the current study, a hybrid synthetic-natural electrospun thermoplastic polyurethane/gelatin (TPU/GT) semipermeable membrane to explore the feasibility of stable allogenic cartilage regeneration by an immunoisolation strategy is developed. In vitro results demonstrated that the rationally designed electrospun TPU/GT membranes has ideal biocompatibility, semipermeability, and an immunoisolation function. In vivo results further showed that the semipermeable membrane (SPM) efficiently blocked immune cell attack, decreased immune factor production, and cell apoptosis of the regenerated allogenic cartilage. Importantly, TPU/GT-encapsulated cartilage-sheet constructs achieved stable allogeneic cartilage regeneration in a goat model. The current study provides a novel strategy for allogenic cartilage regeneration and supplies a new cartilage donor source to repair various cartilage defects.

Abstract
Tendon injuries are common debilitating musculoskeletal diseases with high treatment expenditure in sports medicine. The development of tendon-biomimetic scaffolds may be promising for improving the unsatisfactory clinical outcomes of traditional therapies. In this study, we combined an advanced electrospun nanofiber yarn-generating technique with a traditional textile manufacturing strategy to fabricate innovative nano-micro fibrous woven scaffolds with tendon-like anisotropic structure and high-strength mechanical properties for the treatment of large-size tendon injury. Electrospun nanofiber yarns made from pure poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) or silk fibroin (SF)/PLLA blend were fabricated, and their mechanical properties matched and even exceeded those of commercial PLLA microfiber yarns. The PLLA or SF/PLLA nanofiber yarns were then employed as weft yarns interlaced with commercial PLLA microfiber yarns as warp yarns to generate two new types of nanofibrous scaffolds (nmPLLA and nmSF/PLLA) with a plain-weaving structure. Woven scaffolds made from pure PLLA microfiber yarns (both weft and warp directions) (mmPLLA) were used as controls.In vitroexperiments showed that the nmSF/PLLA woven scaffold with aligned fibrous topography significantly promoted cell adhesion, elongation, proliferation, and phenotypic maintenance of tenocytes compared with mmPLLA and nmPLLA woven scaffolds. Moreover, the nmSF/PLLA woven scaffold exhibited the strongest immunoregulatory functions and effectively modulated macrophages towards the M2 phenotype.In vivoexperiments revealed that the nmSF/PLLA woven scaffold notably facilitated Achilles tendon regeneration with improved structure by macroscopic, histological, and ultrastructural observations six months after surgery, compared with the other two groups. More importantly, the regenerated tissue in the nmSF/PLLA group had excellent biomechanical properties comparable to those of the native tendon. Overall, our study provides an innovative biological-free strategy with ready-to-use features, which presents great potential for clinical translation for damaged tendon repair.

Abstract
Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) engineered cartilage (BEC) represent a promising substitute for cartilage repairment. However, the in vitro-generated BEC was prone to endochondral ossification after in vivo ectopic implantation, significantly hindering its clinical translation. Increasing evidence suggested that vascularization essentially led to endochondral ossification of BEC in the subcutaneous microenvironment. Herein, a potent antiangiogenic agent of curcumin (Cur) was successfully laden into a polycaprolactone (PCL) to prepare a Cur/PCL nanofilm. The in vitro findings of this study showed that after co-culturing with human umbilical vein endothelial cells, Cur was sustained-released from Cur/PCL and suppressed the formation of tubes. Further, the Cur/PCL nanofilm was cytocompatible when recolonized with BMSCs. BMSCs were seeded into a porous polyglycolic acid scaffold and underwent 4 weeks of in vitro chondrogenic culture to successfully produce BEC. Thereafter, the BEC is encapsulated by the Cur/PCL nanofilm and subcutaneously implanted into nude mice for 4 weeks. The localized and sustained Cur release could inhibit vascular invasion via the antagonization of vascular endothelial growth factor signal, and stabilizes the cartilaginous phenotype. The results confirmed that Cur/PCL nanofilms protected BEC from vascularization and endochondral ossification in vivo, thus, indicating that the encapsulation of BEC using an anti-angiogenic nanofilm could be used as a novel strategy for modulating the in vivo ectopic BEC stability to repair cartilage defects.

Abstract
Nanotopographical cues of bone implant surface has direct influences on various cell types during the establishment of osseointegration, a prerequisite of implant bear-loading. Given the important roles of monocyte/macrophage lineage cells in bone regeneration and remodeling, the regulation of nanotopographies on macrophages and osteoclasts has arisen considerable attentions recently. However, compared to osteoblastic cells, how nanotopographies regulate macrophages and osteoclasts has not been properly summarized. In this review, the roles and interactions of macrophages, osteoclasts and osteoblasts at different stages of bone healing is firstly presented. Then, the diversity and preparation methods of nanotopographies are summarized. Special attentions are paid to the regulation characterizations of nanotopographies on macrophages polarization and osteoclast differentiation, as well as the focal adhesion-cytoskeleton mediated mechanism. Finally, an outlook is indicated of coordinating nanotopographies, macrophages and osteoclasts to achieve better osseointegration. These comprehensive discussions may not only help to guide the optimization of bone implant surface nanostructures, but also provide an enlightenment to the osteoimmune response to external implant.

Abstract
Dynamic manipulation of supramolecular self-assembled structures is achieved irreversibly or under non-physiological conditions, thereby limiting their biomedical, environmental, and catalysis applicability. In this study, microgels composed of azobenzene derivatives stacked via π-cation and π-π interactions are developed that are electrostatically stabilized with Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-bearing anionic polymers. Lateral swelling of RGD-bearing microgels occurs via cis-azobenzene formation mediated by near-infrared-light-upconverted ultraviolet light, which disrupts intermolecular interactions on the visible-light-absorbing upconversion-nanoparticle-coated materials. Real-time imaging and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate the deswelling of RGD-bearing microgels via visible-light-mediated trans-azobenzene formation. Near-infrared light can induce in situ swelling of RGD-bearing microgels to increase RGD availability and trigger release of loaded interleukin-4, which facilitates the adhesion structure assembly linked with pro-regenerative polarization of host macrophages. In contrast, visible light can induce deswelling of RGD-bearing microgels to decrease RGD availability that suppresses macrophage adhesion that yields pro-inflammatory polarization. These microgels exhibit high stability and non-toxicity. Versatile use of ligands and protein delivery can offer cytocompatible and photoswitchable manipulability of diverse host cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease has a significant epidemiological and socioeconomic impact, and, unfortunately, the extensive research focused on potential curative therapies has not yet proven to be successful. However, in recent years, important steps have been made in the development and functionalization of nanoporous alumina membranes, which might be of great interest for medical use, including the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. In this context, the aim of this article is to present the synthesis and biocompatibility testing of a special filtrating nano-membrane, which is planned to be used in an experimental device for Alzheimer's disease treatment. METHODS Firstly, the alumina nanoporous membrane was synthesized via the two-step anodizing process in oxalic acid-based electrolytes and functionalized via the atomic layer deposition technique. Subsequently, quality control tests (spectrophotometry and potential measurements), toxicity, and biocompatibility tests (cell viability assays) were conducted. RESULTS The proposed alumina nanoporous membrane proved to be efficient for amyloid-beta filtration according to the permeability studies conducted for 72 h. The proposed membrane has proven to be fully compatible with the tested cell cultures. CONCLUSIONS The proposed alumina nanoporous membrane model is safe and could be incorporated into implantable devices for further in vivo experiments and might be an efficient therapeutic approach for Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) engineered cartilage (BEC) is prone to endochondral ossification in a submuscular environment due to the process of vascular infiltration, which limits its application in repairing tracheal cartilage defects. Bevacizumab, an antitumor drug with pronounced antiangiogenic activity, is successfully laden into a poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone) system to prepare bevacizumab-laden nanofiber (BevNF) characterized by 5% and 10% bevacizumab concentrations. The in vitro results reveal that a sustained release of bevacizumab can be realized from BevNF, exhibiting inhibitive cytotoxicity toward human umbilical vein endothelial cells whereas non-cytotoxicity toward BMSCs-induced chondrocytes. A model is also established by encapsulating BEC within BevNF, aiming to realize an antiangiogenic niche under conditions of sustained and localized release of bevacizumab to inhibit the process of vascular invasion, resulting in the eventual stabilization of the cartilaginous phenotype and promotion of the process of cartilage maturation in the submuscular environment. These results also confirm that the chondrogenesis stability of BEC increases with an increase in the bevacizumab concentration, and 10% BevNF is sufficient to protect BEC from vascularization. This demonstrates that the use of BevNF can potentially help develop an effective strategy for regulating the submuscular stability of BEC to repair the defects formed in tracheal cartilage.

Abstract
Foreign body reactions (FBR) to implants seriously impair tissue-implant integration and postoperative adhesion. The macrophage, owing to its phenotypic plasticity, is a major regulator in the formation of the inflammatory microenvironment; NF-κB signaling also plays a vital role in the process. It is hypothesized that NF-κB phosphorylation exerts a proinflammatory regulator in FBR to polylactide membranes (PLA-M) and adhesion. First, in vitro and in vivo experiments show that PLA-M induces NF-κB phosphorylation in macrophages, leading to M1 polarization and release of inflammatory factors. The inflammatory microenvironment formed due to PLA-M accelerates myofibroblast differentiation and release of collagen III and MMP2, jointly resulting in peritendinous adhesion. Therefore, JSH-23 (a selective NF-κB inhibitor)-loaded PLA membrane (JSH-23/PLA-M) is fabricated by blend electrospinning to regulate the associated M1 polarization for peritendinous anti-adhesion. JSH-23/PLA-M specifically inhibits NF-κB phosphorylation in macrophages and exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-adhesion properties. The findings demonstrate that NF-κB phosphorylation has a critical role in PLA-induced M1 polarization and aggravating FBR to PLA-M. Additionally, JSH-23/PLA-M precisely targets modulation of NF-κB phosphorylation in FBR to break the vicious cycle in peritendinous adhesion therapy.

Abstract
The scarcity of ideal biocompatible scaffolds makes the regeneration of cartilage in the subcutaneous environment of large animals difficult. We have previously reported the successful regeneration of good-quality cartilage in a nude mouse model using the electrospun gelatin/polycaprolactone (GT/PCL) nanofiber membranes. The GT/PCL ratios were varied to generate different sets of membranes to conduct the experiments. However, it is unknown whether these GT/PCL membranes can support the process of cartilage regeneration in an immunocompetent large animal model. We seeded swine auricular chondrocytes onto different GT/PCL nanofiber membranes (GT:PCL = 30:70, 50:50, and 70:30) under the sandwich cell-seeding mode. Prior to subcutaneously implanting the samples into an autologous host, they were cultured in vitro over a period of 2 weeks. The results revealed that the nanofiber membranes with different GT/PCL ratios could support the process of subcutaneous cartilage regeneration in an autologous swine model. The maximum extent of homogeneity in the cartilage tissues was achieved when the G5P5 (GT: PC = 50: 50) group was used for the regeneration of cartilage. The formed homogeneous cartilage tissues were characterized by the maximum cartilage formation ratio. The extents of the ingrowth of the fibrous tissues realized and the extents of infiltration of inflammatory cells achieved were found to be the minimum in this case. Quantitative analyses were conducted to determine the wet weight, cartilage-specific extracellular matrix content, and Young’s modulus. The results indicated that the optimal extent of cartilage formation was observed in the G5P5 group. These results indicated that the GT/PCL nanofiber membranes could serve as a potential scaffold for supporting subcutaneous cartilage regeneration under clinical settings. An optimum GT/PCL ratio can promote cartilage formation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implantation of a biomaterial may induce the foreign-body reaction to the host tissue that determines the outcome of the integration and the biological performance of the implants. The foreign-body reaction can be modulated by control of the material properties of the implants. METHODS First, we synthesized methacrylated Bletilla striata Polysaccharide (BSP-MA) and constructed a series of open porous cryogels utilizing this material via the freezing-thawing treatment of solvent-precursors systems. Second, Pore size and modulus were measured to characterize the properties of BSP cryogels. Live/dead staining of cells and CCK-8 were performed to test the cytocompatibility of the scaffolds. In addition, the Real-Time qPCR experiments were carried for the tests. Finally, the BSP scaffolds were implanted subcutaneously to verify the foreign-body reaction between host tissue and materials. RESULTS Our data demonstrated that cryogels with different pore sizes and modulus can be fabricated by just adjusting the concentration. Besides, the cryogels showed well cytocompatibility in the in vitro experiments and exhibited upregulated expression levels of pro-inflammation-related genes (Tnfa and Il1b) with the increase of pore size. In vivo experiments further proved that with the increase of pore size, more immune cells infiltrated into the inner zone of materials. The foreign-body reaction and the distribution of immune-regulatory cells could be modulated by tuning the material microstructure. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, our findings revealed Bletilla striata polysaccharide cryogel scaffold with different pore sizes can spatially control foreign-body reaction. The microstructure of cryogels could differentially guide the distribution of inflammatory cells, affect the formation of blood vessels and fibrous capsules, which eventually influence the material-tissue integration. This work demonstrates a practical strategy to regulate foreign body reaction and promote the performance of medical devices.

Abstract
The surface topography of engineered extracellular matrices is one of the most important physical cues regulating the phenotypic polarization of macrophages. However, not much is known about the ways through which submicron (i.e., 100-1000 nm) topographies modulate the polarization of macrophages. In the context of bone tissue regeneration, it is well established that this range of topographies stimulates the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. Since the immune response affects the bone tissue regeneration process, the immunomodulatory consequences of submicron patterns should be studied prior to their clinical application. Here, we 3D printed submicron pillars (using two-photon polymerization technique) with different heights and interspacings to perform the first ever systematic study of such effects. Among the studied patterns, the highest degree of elongation was observed for the cells cultured on those with the tallest and densest pillars. After 3 days of culture with inflammatory stimuli (LPS/IFN-γ), sparsely decorated surfaces inhibited the expression of the pro-inflammatory cellular marker CCR7 as compared to day 1 and to the other patterns. Furthermore, sufficiently tall pillars polarized the M1 macrophages towards a pro-healing (M2) phenotype, as suggested by the expression of CD206 within the first 3 days. As some of the studied patterns are known to be osteogenic, the osteoimmunomodulatory capacity of the patterns should be further studied to optimize their bone tissue regeneration performance.

Abstract
Islet transplantation has shown promise as a curative therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the side effects of systemic immunosuppression and limited long-term viability of engrafted islets, together with the scarcity of donor organs, highlight an urgent need for the development of new, improved, and safer cell-replacement strategies. Induction of local immunotolerance to prevent allo-rejection against islets and stem cell derived β cells has the potential to improve graft function and broaden the applicability of cellular therapy while minimizing adverse effects of systemic immunosuppression. In this mini review, recent developments in non-encapsulation, local immunomodulatory approaches for T1D cell replacement therapies, including islet/β cell modification, immunomodulatory biomaterial platforms, and co-transplantation of immunomodulatory cells are discussed. Key advantages and remaining challenges in translating such technologies to clinical settings are identified. Although many of the studies discussed are preliminary, the growing interest in the field has led to the exploration of new combinatorial strategies involving cellular engineering, immunotherapy, and novel biomaterials. Such interdisciplinary research will undoubtedly accelerate the development of therapies that can benefit the whole T1D population.

Abstract
In this work two types of biodegradable polysuccinimide-based, electrospun fibrous membranes are presented. One contains disulfide bonds exhibiting a shorter (3 days) in vivo biodegradation time, while the other one has alkyl crosslinks and a longer biodegradation time (more than 7 days). According to the mechanical measurements, the tensile strength of the membranes is comparable to those of soft the connective tissues and visceral tissues. Furthermore, the suture retention test suggests, that the membranes would withstand surgical handling and in vivo fixation. The in vivo biocompatibility study demonstrates how membranes undergo in vivo hydrolysis and by the 3rd day they become poly(aspartic acid) fibrous membranes, which can be then enzymatically degraded. After one week, the disulfide crosslinked membranes almost completely degrade, while the alkyl-chain crosslinked ones mildly lose their integrity as the surrounding tissue invades them. Histopathology revealed mild acute inflammation, which diminished to a minimal level after seven days.

Abstract
The review intends to overview a wide range of nanostructured natural, synthetic and biological membrane implants for tissue engineering to help in retinal degenerative diseases. Herein, we discuss the transplantation strategies and the new development of material in combination with cells such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), mature retinal cells, adult stem cells, retinal progenitors, fetal retinal cells, or retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) sheets, etc. to be delivered into the subretinal space. Retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) are the most common retinal diseases resulting in vision impairment or blindness by permanent loss in photoreceptor cells. Currently, there are no therapies that can repair permanent vision loss, and the available treatments can only delay the advancement of retinal degeneration. The delivery of cell-based nanostructure scaffolds has been presented to enrich cell survival and direct cell differentiation in a range of retinal degenerative models. In this review, we sum up the research findings on different types of nanostructure scaffolds/substrate or material-based implants, with or without cells, used to deliver into the subretinal space for retinal diseases. Though, clinical and pre-clinical trials are still needed for these transplants to be used as a clinical treatment method for retinal degeneration.

Abstract
Three-dimension (3D)-printed bioscaffolds are precise and personalized for bone regeneration. However, customized 3D scaffolds may activate the immune response in vivo and consequently impede bone formation. In this study, with layer-by-layer deposition and electrospinning technology to control the physical structure, 3D-printed PCL scaffolds with PLLA electrospun microfibrous (3D-M-EF) and nanofibrous (3D-N-EF) composites were constructed, and their immunomodulatory effect and the subsequent osteogenic effects were explored. Compared to 3D-N-EF scaffolds, 3D-M-EF scaffolds polarized more RAW264.7 cells toward alternatively activated macrophages (M2), as demonstrated by increased M2 and deceased classically activated macrophage (M1) phenotypic marker expression in the cells. In addition, the 3D-M-EF scaffolds shifted RAW264.7 cells to the M2 phenotype through PI3K/AKT signaling and enhanced VEGF and BMP-2 expression. Conditional medium from the RAW264.7 cells seeded in 3D-M-EF scaffolds promoted osteogenesis of MC3T3-E1 cells. Furthermore, in vivo study of repairing rat calvarial defects, the 3D-M-EF scaffolds increased the polarization of M2 macrophages, enhanced angiogenesis, and accelerated new bone formation. Collectively, our data suggested that well-designed 3D-M-EF scaffolds are favorable for osteogenesis through regulation of M2 polarization. Therefore, it is potential to utilize the physical structure of 3D-printed scaffolds to manipulate the osteoimmune environment to promote bone regeneration.

Abstract
Transplantation of stem cell-derived β (SC-β) cells represents a promising therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, the delivery, maintenance, and retrieval of these cells remain a challenge. Here, we report the design of a safe and functional device composed of a highly porous, durable nanofibrous skin and an immunoprotective hydrogel core. The device consists of electrospun medical-grade thermoplastic silicone-polycarbonate-urethane and is soft but tough (~15 megapascal at a rupture strain of >2). Tuning the nanofiber size to less than ~500 nanometers prevented cell penetration while maintaining maximum mass transfer and decreased cellular overgrowth on blank (cell-free) devices to as low as a single-cell layer (~3 micrometers thick) when implanted in the peritoneal cavity of mice. We confirmed device safety, indicated as continuous containment of proliferative cells within the device for 5 months. Encapsulating syngeneic, allogeneic, or xenogeneic rodent islets within the device corrected chemically induced diabetes in mice and cells remained functional for up to 200 days. The function of human SC-β cells was supported by the device, and it reversed diabetes within 1 week of implantation in immunodeficient and immunocompetent mice, for up to 120 and 60 days, respectively. We demonstrated the scalability and retrievability of the device in dogs and observed viable human SC-β cells despite xenogeneic immune responses. The nanofibrous device design may therefore provide a translatable solution to the balance between safety and functionality in developing stem cell-based therapies for T1D.

Abstract
In this study, a polyurethane vascular graft with excellent strength and compliance for clinical application was designed and fabricated by preparing three small-diameter vascular graft layers via the textile techniques of wet spinning and knitting. The polyurethane filament that was fabricated by wet spinning formed the inner layer. The polyurethane tubular fabric was used as the middle layer. The outer layer was prepared by spraying polyurethane solution. The three layers of the polyurethane vascular graft have uniform wall thickness, high strength, excellent compliance, and good puncture resistance compared with clinical poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular graft. Therefore, these layers can have potential clinical applications in the replacement of the conventional artificial vascular graft prepared from PET and ePTFE.

Abstract
As a class of widely used biomedical materials, polyurethanes suffer from their insufficient stability in vivo. Although the commercialized silicone-polyetherurethanes (SiPEUs) have demonstrated excellent biostability compared with polyetherurethanes (PEUs) for long-term implantation, the usage of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) inevitably decreased the mechanical properties and unexpected breaches were observed. In this study, we introduced a fluorinated diol (FDO) into SiPEU to modulate the molecular interactions and micro-separated morphology. The fluorinated silicon-containing polyurethane (FSiPEU) was achieved with desirable silicone- and fluorine-enriched surfaces and mechanical properties at a low silicon content. As evidenced by in vitro culture of macrophages and in vivo hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining, FSiPEU demonstrated a minimized inflammatory response. After implantation in mice for 6 months, the material was devoid of significant surface degradation and had the least chain cleavage of soft segments. The results indicate that FSiPEU could be promising candidates for long-term implantation considering the combination of biostability, biocompatibility and mechanical performances.

Abstract
Human immune system acts as a pivotal role in the tissue homeostasis and disease progression. Immunomodulatory biomaterials that can manipulate innate immunity and adaptive immunity hold great promise for a broad range of prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. This review is focused on the design strategies and principles of immunomodulatory biomaterials from the standpoint of materials science to regulate macrophage fate, such as activation, polarization, adhesion, migration, proliferation, and secretion. It offers a comprehensive survey and discussion on the tunability of material designs regarding physical, chemical, biological, and dynamic cues for modulating macrophage immune response. The range of such tailorable cues encompasses surface properties, surface topography, materials mechanics, materials composition, and materials dynamics. The representative immunoengineering applications selected herein demonstrate how macrophage-immunomodulating biomaterials are being exploited for cancer immunotherapy, infection immunotherapy, tissue regeneration, inflammation resolution, and vaccination. A perspective on the future research directions of immunoregulatory biomaterials is also provided.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION As heterologous islets or islet-like stem cells become optional sources for islet transplantation, the subcutaneous site appears to be an acceptable replacement of the intrahepatic site due to its graft retrievability. The device-less (DL) procedure improves the feasibility; however, some limitations such as fibrotic overgrowth or immunodeficiency still exist. Nanofibers could mimic the extracellular matrix to improve the vitality of transplanted islets. Therefore, we designed a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-modified polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/silicone nanofiber (SiO2-VEGF) to optimize the DL procedure. METHODS SiO2-VEGF nanofibers were designed by nano-spinning and characterized the physical-chemical properties before subcutaneous islet transplantation. Cell viability, vessel formation, and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion were tested in vitro to ensure biocompatibility; and blood glucose level (BGL), transplanted islet function, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related biomarker expression were analyzed in vivo. RESULTS The intensity of inflammatory reaction induced by SiO2 nanofibers was between nylon and silicone, which did not bring out excessive fibrosis. The vascularization could be enhanced by VEGF functionalization both in vitro and in vivo. The BGL control was better in the DL combined with SiO2-VEGF group. The percentage of recipients that achieved normoglycemia was higher and earlier (71% at day 57), and the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) also confirmed better islet function. The expressions of vimentin, α-SMA, and twist-1 were upregulated, which indicated that SiO2-VEGF nanofibers might promote islet function by regulating the EMT pathway. DISCUSSION In summary, our new SiO2-VEGF combined with DL procedure might improve the feasibility of subcutaneous islet transplantation for clinical application.

Abstract
Biomaterial topography-based strategies are regarded as an effective way to regulate the osteoimmune environment which plays an indispensable role in the bone regeneration process. The rapid development of manufacture techniques makes it possible to investigate the cell-topography interactions by preparing various micro and nano-topographical surfaces on biomaterials. Still, it is a challenge to prepare well-defined micro/nano hierarchical structures of bioceramics due to the inherent brittleness of ceramic materials. Also, the correlation between osteoimmunomodulation initiated by micro/nano hierarchical topographies and the tissue regeneration outcomes is unclear. In this study, we prepared well-defined micro/nano hierarchical structures on hydroxyapatite (HA) bioceramics through the combination of the photolithography and hydrothermal techniques. Three different microscale circular patterns (4 μm, 12 μm and 36 μm) and nanotopographies (nanoneedle, nanosheet and nanorod) were fabricated by changing the size of the mask and the condition of the hydrothermal reaction. The macrophage responses on the nanoneedle structures with different micropatterns were investigated and the micro/nano hierarchical structures with appropriate pattern sizes could either promote or alleviate the macrophage polarization, which further affected the outcomes of the osteogenic differentiation of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) and angiogenic activity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Our study demonstrated that osteoimmunomodulation could be manipulated via tuning the micro/nano hierarchical structures, which could lead to a new strategy for the development of bone biomaterials with favorable osteoimmunomodulatory properties.

Abstract
Biomedical implant mimicking the physiological extracellular matrix (ECM) is a new strategy to modulate the cell microenvironment to improve implant integrity and longevity. However, the biomimicking ECM suffers from low sensitivity to pathological change and low efficiency to restore the physiological state in vivo. To overcome these problems, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and K+ dual-responsive micro-/nanofibers that encapsulate ascorbic acid-2-glucoside (AA-2G) are fabricated on an elastomer substrate with electrospinning to mimic the ECM. The strategy is based on the fact that ROS and K+ dual responsiveness enhance the sensitivity of the ECM to pathological changes and delivery of AA-2G from the ECM to cell membrane promotes reactivating Na/K-ATPase and shifting cellular diseased conditions to the normal state. We demonstrate that the ROS and K+-responsive tripolymer of poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate, 1,2-ethanedithiol, and 4-nitrobenzo-18-crown-6-ether (PEGDA-EDT-BCAm) are synthesized successfully; the ECM composed of acylated poly(caprolactone)/PEGDA-EDT-BCAm/AA-2G micro-/nanofibers is prepared through reactive electrospinning; the ECM is sensitive to ROS and K+ concentration in the microenvironment to release AA-2G, which targets the membrane to remove the excessive ROS and reactivate Na/K-ATPase; as a result, the ECM reduces oxidative stress and restores the extracellular physiological state both in vitro and in vivo. This work provides basic principles to design an implant that can adjust the extracellular microenvironment while avoiding pathogenicity to improve implant integrity and longevity in vivo.

Abstract
Porous bioscaffolds are applied to facilitate skin repair since the early 1990s, but a perfect regeneration outcome has yet to be achieved. Until now, most efforts have focused on modulating the chemical properties of bioscaffolds, while physical properties are traditionally overlooked. Recent advances in mechanobiology and mechanotherapy have highlighted the importance of biomaterials' physical properties in the regulation of cellular behaviors and regenerative processes. In skin repair, the mechanical and structural features of porous bioscaffolds are two major physical properties that determine therapeutic efficacy. Here, first an overview of natural skin repair with an emphasis on the major biophysically sensitive cell types involved in this multistage process is provided, followed by an introduction of the four roles of bioscaffolds as skin implants. Then, how the mechanical and structural features of bioscaffolds influence these four roles is discussed. The mechanical and structural features of porous bioscaffolds should be tailored to balance the acceleration of wound closure and functional improvements of the repaired skin. This study emphasizes that decoupling and precise control of the mechanical and structural features of bioscaffolds are significant aspects that should be considered in future biomaterial optimization, which can build a foundation to ultimately achieve perfect skin regeneration outcomes.

Abstract
Subcutaneous long-acting release (LAR) formulations have been extensively developed in the clinic to increase patient compliance and reduce treatment cost. Despite preliminary success for some LAR systems, a major obstacle limiting the therapeutic effect remains on their interaction with surrounding tissues. In this review, we summarize how living bodies respond to injected or implanted materials, and highlight some typical strategies based on smart material design, which may significantly improve long-term subcutaneous drug delivery. Moreover, possible strategies to achieve ultra-long (months, years) subcutaneous drug delivery systems are proposed. Based on these discussions, we believe the well-designed subcutaneous long-acting formulations will hold great promise to improve patient quality of life in the clinic.

Abstract
Immune cells play vital roles in regulating bone dynamics. Successful bone regeneration requires a favourable osteo-immune environment. The high plasticity and diversity of immune cells make it possible to manipulate the osteo-immune response of immune cells, thus modulating the osteoimmune environment and regulating bone regeneration. With the advancement in nanotechnology, nanotopographies with different controlled surface properties can be fabricated. On tuning the surface properties, the osteo-immune response can be precisely modulated. This highly tunable characteristic and immunomodulatory effects make nanotopography a promising strategy to precisely manipulate osteoimmunomdulation for bone tissue engineering applications. This review first summarises the effects of the immune response during bone healing to show the importance of regulating the immune response for the bone response. The plasticity of immune cells is then reviewed to provide rationales for manipulation of the osteoimmune response. Subsequently, we highlight the current types of nanotopographies applied in bone biomaterials and their fabrication techniques, and explain how these nanotopographies modulate the immune response and the possible underlying mechanisms. The effects of immune cells on nanotopography-mediated osteogenesis are emphasized, and we propose the concept of "nano-osteoimmunomodulation" to provide a valuable strategy for the development of nanotopographies with osteoimmunomodulatory properties that can precisely regulate bone dynamics.

Abstract
Cells were continuously exposed to oxidative damage by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) when they contacted implanted biomaterials. The strategy to prevent cells from oxidative injures remains a challenge. Inspired by the antioxidant defense system of cells, we constructed a biocompatible and ROS-responsive architecture on the substrate of styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene elastomer (SEBS). The strategy was based on fabrication of architectures through reactive electrospinning of mixture including SEBS, acylated Pluronic F127, copolymer of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and 1,2-ethanedithiol (PEGDA-EDT), and antioxidants (AA-2G) and ROS-triggered release of AA-2G from microfibers to detoxify the excess ROS. We demonstrated that the stable and hydrophilic architecture was constructed by phase separation of SEBS/F127 components and cross-linking between polymer chains during electrospinning; the ROS-responsive fibers controlled the release of AA-2G and the interaction of AA-2G with ROS reduced the oxidative damage to cells. The bioinspired architecture not only reduced mechanical and oxidative damage to cells but also maintained normal ROS level for physiological hemostasis. This work provides basic principles to design and develop antioxidative biomaterials for implantation in vivo.

Abstract
Phage-based materials have showed great potential in tissue engineering application. However, it is unknown what inflammation response will happen to this kind of materials. This work is to explore the biological responses to M13 bacteriophage (phage) modified titanium surfaces in vitro from the aspects of their interaction with macrophages, osteoblasts and mineralization behavior. Pretreated Ti surface, Ti surfaces with noncrosslinked phage film (APP) and crosslinked phage film (APPG) were compared. Phage films could limit the macrophage adhesion and activity due to inducing adherent-cell apoptosis. The initial inflammatory activity (24h) caused by phage films was relatively high with more production of TNF-α, but in the later stage (7-10days) inflammatory response was reduced with lower TNF-α, IL-6 and higher IL-10. In addition, phage films improved osteoblast adhesion, differentiation, and hydroapatite (HA)-forming via a combination of topographical and biochemcial cues. The noncrosslinked phage film displayed the best immunomodulatory property, osteogenic activity and HA mineralization ability. This work provides better understanding of inflammatory and osteogenetic activity of phage-based materials and contributes to their future application in tissue engineering. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE In vivo, the bone and immune cells share a common microenvironment, and are being affected by similar cytokines, signaling molecules, transcription factors and membrane receptors. Ideal implants should cause positive biological response, including adequate and appropriate inflammatory reaction, well-balanced bone formation and absorption. Phage-based materials have showed great potential in tissue engineering application. However, at present it is unknown what inflammation response will happen to this kind of materials. A good understanding of the immune response possibly induced by phage-based materials is needed. This work studied the osteoimmunomodulation property of phage films on titanium surface, involving inflammatory response, osteogenic activity and biomineralization ability. It provides more understanding of the phage-based materials and contributes to their future application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
The promise of tissue engineering is to improve or restore functions of impaired tissues or organs. However, one of the biggest challenges to its translation to clinical applications is the lack of tissue integration and functionality. The plethora of cellular and molecular events occurring following scaffold implantation is a major bottleneck. Recent studies confirmed that inflammation is a crucial component influencing tissue regeneration. Immuno-modulation or immune-engineering has been proposed as a potential solution to overcome this key challenge in regenerative medicine. In this review, strategies to modify scaffold physicochemical properties through the use of the electrospinning technique to modulate host response and improve scaffold integration will be discussed. Electrospinning, being highly versatile allows the fabrication of ECM-mimicking scaffolds and also offers the possibility to control scaffold properties for instance, tailoring of fiber properties, chemical conjugation or physical adsorption of non-immunogenic materials on the scaffold surface, encapsulating cells or anti-inflammatory molecules within the scaffold. Such electrospun scaffold-based immune-engineering strategies can significantly improve the resulting outcomes of tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
While the studies on the material interaction with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been mainly focused on the ability of materials to provide environment to regulate cell viability, proliferation or differentiation, the therapeutic effects of MSC-material constructs may result from the secretion of immunomodulatory and angiogenic cytokines from MSCs. Here, electrospun scaffolds composed of fibers in random, aligned and mesh-like patterns were fabricated, and the paracrine behavior of adipose-derived MSCs (Ad-MSCs) on the scaffolds were investigated in comparison to the cell culture via conventional microplates. It was found that the Ad-MSCs on the electrospun fibers produced significantly higher levels of anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic cytokines compared to those cultured on microplates. The enhanced modulatory effects of the secreted products of Ad-MSCs on fibrous electrospun scaffolds were also proven in the cultures of endothelial cells and the LPS-stimulated macrophages, with three types of scaffolds showing distinct influences on the paracrine function of Ad-MSCs. In a skin excisional wound-healing model in rat, the conditioned medium collected from the MSC-scaffold system accelerated the wound closure, promoted the macrophage recruitment and enhanced the polarization of macrophages toward the pro-healing phenotype in the wound bed. Our study demonstrates that the fibrous topography of scaffolds is a key material property that modulates the paracrine function of cells. The discovery elucidates a new aspect of material functions, laying the foundation for developing scaffold materials to promote tissue regeneration/repair through guiding the paracrine signaling network.
