Abstract
In conventional bone tissue engineering, cells are seeded onto scaffolds to create three-dimensional (3D) tissues, but the cells on the scaffolds are unable to effectively perform their physiological functions due to their low density and viability. Cell sheet (CS) engineering is expected to be free from this limitation. CS engineering uses the principles of self-assembly and self-organization of endothelial and mesenchymal stem cells to prepare CSs as building blocks for engineering bone grafts. This process recapitulates the native tissue development, thus attracting significant attention in the field of bone regeneration. However, the method is still in the prebasic experimental stage in bone defect repair. To make the method clinically applicable and valuable in personalized and precision medicine, current research is focused on the preparation of multifunctionalized building blocks using CS technologies, such as 3D layered CSs containing microvascular structures. Considering the great potential of CS engineering in repairing bone defects, in this review, the types of cell technologies are first outlined. We then summarize the various types of CSs as building blocks for engineering bone grafts. Furthermore, the specific applications of CSs in bone repair are discussed. Finally, we present specific suggestions for accelerating the application of CS engineering in the clinical treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Muscle tissue engineering has been the focus of extensive research due to its potential for numerous medical applications, including ex vivo actuator development and clinical treatments. In this study, we developed a method for harvesting muscle fiber in a floatable and translocatable manner utilizing thermally expandable hydrogels with a chemically patterned polydopamine (PD) layer generated by microcontact printing (μCP). The μCP of PD on the hydrogel facilitated the formation of stripe patterns with varying widths of printed/nonprinted area (50/50, 100/100, and 200/200 μm). The spatially controlled adhesion of C2C12 myoblasts on the PD patterns produced clearly distinguishable muscle fibers, and translocated muscle fibers exhibited preserved extracellular matrix and junction proteins. Furthermore, the development of anisotropic arrangements and mature myotubes within the fibers suggests the potential for functional control of engineered muscle tissues. Overall, the muscle fiber harvesting method developed herein is suitable for both translocation and floating and is a promising technique for muscle tissue engineering as it mimics the structure-function relationship of natural tissue.

Abstract
Thin membranous tissues (TMTs) are anatomical structures consisting of multiple stratified cell layers, each less than 100 μm in thickness. While these tissues are small in scale, they play critical roles in normal tissue function and healing. Examples of TMTs include the tympanic membrane, cornea, periosteum, and epidermis. Damage to these structures can be caused by trauma or congenital disabilities, resulting in hearing loss, blindness, dysfunctional bone development, and impaired wound repair, respectively. While autologous and allogeneic tissue sources for these membranes exist, they are significantly limited by availability and patient complications. Tissue engineering has therefore become a popular strategy for TMT replacement. However, due to their complex microscale architecture, TMTs are often difficult to replicate in a biomimetic manner. The critical challenge in TMT fabrication is balancing fine resolution with the ability to mimic complex target tissue anatomy. This Review reports existing TMT fabrication strategies, their resolution and material capabilities, cell and tissue response, and the advantages and disadvantages of each technique.

Abstract
Cell therapy is an accessible method for curing damaged organs or tissues. Yet, this approach is limited by the delivery efficiency of cell suspension injection. Over recent years, biological scaffolds have emerged as carriers of delivering therapeutic cells to the target sites. Although they can be regarded as revolutionary research output and promote the development of tissue engineering, the defect of biological scaffolds in repairing cell-dense tissues is apparent. Cell sheet engineering (CSE) is a novel technique that supports enzyme-free cell detachment in the shape of a sheet-like structure. Compared with the traditional method of enzymatic digestion, products harvested by this technique retain extracellular matrix (ECM) secreted by cells as well as cell-matrix and intercellular junctions established during in vitro culture. Herein, we discussed the current status and recent progress of CSE in basic research and clinical application by reviewing relevant articles that have been published, hoping to provide a reference for the development of CSE in the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
A direct transfer of a cell sheet from a culture surface to a target tissue is introduced. Commercially available, flexible parylene is used as the culture surface, and it is proposed that the UV-treated parylene offers adequate and intermediate levels of cell adhesiveness for both the stable cell attachment during culture and for the efficient cell transfer to a target surface. The versatility of this cell-transfer process is demonstrated with various cell types, including MRC-5, HDFn, HULEC-5a, MC3T3-E1, A549, C2C12 cells, and MDCK-II cells. The novel cell-sheet engineering is based on a mechanism of interfacial cell migration between two surfaces with different adhesion preferences. Monitoring of cytoskeletal dynamics and drug treatments during the cell-transfer process reveals that the interfacial cell migration occurs by utilizing the existing transmembrane proteins on the cell surface to bind to the targeted surface. The re-establishment and reversal of cell polarity after the transfer process are also identified. Its unique capabilities of 3D multilayer stacking, freeform design, and curved surface application are demonstrated. Finally, the therapeutic potential of the cell-sheet delivery system is demonstrated by applying it to cutaneous wound healing and skin-tissue regeneration in mice models.

Abstract
Bone defects that are congenital or the result of infection, malignancy, or trauma represent a challenge to the global healthcare system. To address this issue, multiple research groups have been developing novel cell sheet technology (CST)-based approaches to promote bone regeneration. These methods hold promise for use in regenerative medicine because they preserve cell-cell contacts, cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and the protein makeup of cell membranes. This review introduces the concept and preparation system of the cell sheet (CS), explores the application of CST in bone regeneration, highlights the current states of the bone regeneration via CST, and offers perspectives on the challenges and future research direction of translating current knowledge from the lab to the clinic.

Abstract
Various tissues, including the heart, cornea, bone, esophagus, bladder and liver, have been vascularized using the cell sheet technique. It overcomes the limitations of existing techniques by allowing small layers of the cell sheet to generate capillaries on their own, and it can also be used to vascularize tissue-engineered transplants. Cell sheets eliminate the need for traditional tissue engineering procedures such as isolated cell injections and scaffold-based technologies, which have limited applicability. While cell sheet engineering can eliminate many of the drawbacks, there are still a few challenges that need to be addressed. The number of cell sheets that can be layered without triggering core ischemia or hypoxia is limited. Even when scaffold-based technologies are disregarded, strategies to tackle this problem remain a substantial impediment to the efficient regeneration of thick, living three-dimensional cell sheets. In this review, we summarize the cell sheet technology in myocardial infarcted tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Nanomaterial-based cell sheet technology has been reported to be an effective method in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Here, we summarized several types of nanomaterials used to harvest cell sheets. Currently, the technology is divided into four categories according to the mechanisms: light-induced cell sheet technology, thermo-responsive cell sheet technology, magnetic-controlled cell sheet technology, and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cell sheet technology. Furthermore, some studies have been conducted to show that nanomaterial-based cell sheets produce satisfying outcomes in the regeneration of bone, skeletal muscle, cardiac tissue, and tendon, as well as angiogenesis and osseointegration. Nevertheless, some shortcomings still exist, such as comprehensive preparation, unclear safety, and cell quality. Thus, future studies should aim to produce more types of nanomaterials to solve this problem.

Abstract
Tissue engineering has attracted significant attention since the 1980s, and the applications of tissue engineering have been expanding. To produce a cell-dense tissue, cell sheet technology has been studied as a promising strategy. Fundamental techniques involving tissue engineering are mainly introduced in this review. First, the technologies to fabricate a cell sheet were reviewed. Although temperature-responsive polymer-based technique was a trigger to establish and spread cell sheet technology, other methodologies for cell sheet fabrication have also been reported. Second, the methods to improve the function of the cell sheet were investigated. Adding electrical and mechanical stimulation on muscle-type cells, building 3D structures, and co-culturing with other cell species can be possible strategies for imitating the physiological situation under in vitro conditions, resulting in improved functions. Finally, culture methods to promote vasculogenesis in the layered cell sheets were introduced with in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro bioreactors. We believe the present review that shows and compares the fundamental technologies and recent advances for cell-sheet-based tissue engineering should promote further development of tissue engineering. The development of cell sheet technology should promote many bioengineering applications.

Abstract
Various stimuli have been applied to harvest complete cell sheets, including temperature, magnetic, pH, and electrical stimuli. Cell sheet technology is a convenient and efficient approach with beneficial effects for tissue regeneration and cell therapy. Lights of different wavelengths, such as ultraviolet (UV), visible light, and near infrared ray (NIR) light, were confirmed to aid in fabricating a cell sheet. Changes in the wettability, potential, or water content of the culturing surfaces that occur under light illumination induce conformational changes in the adhesive proteins or collagens, which then leads to cell sheet detachment. However, the current approaches face several limitations, as few standards for safe light illumination have been proposed to date, and require a careful control of the wavelength, power, and irradiation time. Future studies should aim at generating new materials for culturing and releasing cell sheets rapidly and effectively.

Abstract
Autologous skin grafting, the standard treatment for severe burns, is sometimes not possible due to the limited available skin surfaces for the procedure. With advances in tissue engineering, various cell-based skin substitutes have been developed to serve as skin replacements and to promote tissue regeneration and healing. In this work, we propose the use of cell sheet technology to fabricate keratinocyte-fibroblast tissue constructs from the temperature-responsive poly(N-isoproprylacrylamide-co-acrylamide) (PNIAM-co-AM) grafted surfaces for the treatment of burn wounds. The characteristics of the human keratinocyte and fibroblast cell sheets harvested using PNIAM-co-AM grafted surfaces were similar to those cell sheets detached from the commercially-available UpCellTM plates. Upon lowering the incubation temperature, confluent keratinocytes and fibroblasts could be detached as intact sheets, consisting of biologically active cells, as indicated by their high cell viability and their reattachment, migratory, and proliferative activities. A histological analysis of the stratified keratinocyte-fibroblast cell sheets revealed the evidence of cell migration and tissue reorganization to form two distinct epidermal and dermal layers, quite similar to the skin tissue's structure. In addition, the keratinocyte-fibroblast sheets could synthesize and release significant amounts of essential cytokines and growth factors involved in regulating the wound healing process, including IL-1α, IL-6, TNF-α, VEGF, and bFGF, implying the therapeutic effect of these cell sheets, which could be beneficial to accelerate tissue repair and regeneration, leading to faster wound healing.

Abstract
Cell sheet engineering has evolved rapidly in recent years as a new approach for cell-based therapy. Cell sheet harvest technology is important for producing viable, transplantable cell sheets and applying them to tissue engineering. To date, most cell sheet studies use thermo-responsive systems to detach cell sheets. However, other approaches have been reported. This review provides the progress in cell sheet detachment techniques, particularly reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive strategies. Therefore, we present a comprehensive introduction to ROS, their application in regenerative medicine, and considerations on how to use ROS in cell detachment. The review also discusses current limitations and challenges for clarifying the mechanism of the ROS-responsive cell sheet detachment.

Effective stacking and transplantation of stem cell sheets using exogenous ROS-producing film for accelerated wound healing. Acta Biomater 2019; 95:418-426.

Abstract
Extensive skin loss caused by burns or diabetic ulcers may lead to major disability or even death. Therefore, cell-based therapies that enhance skin regeneration are clinically needed. Previous approaches have been applied the injections of cell suspensions and the implantation of biodegradable three-dimensional scaffolds seeded cells. However, these treatments have limits due to poor localization of the injected cells and insufficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to cells. Recently, cell sheet-based tissue engineering has been developed to transplant cell sheets, which are cell-dense tissues without scaffolds. Because cell density is one of the important factors for improving the therapeutic effect of cell transplantation, transplanting layered cell sheet constructs can promote the recovery of tissue function and tissue regeneration compared with a single cell sheet. Thus, this study designed ROS-induced cell sheet stacking method with newly fabricated hematoporphyrin-incorporated polyketone film (Hp-PK film) to enhance cell sheet delivery efficiency and application in wound healing. We have demonstrated the therapeutic effect of a multi-layered mesenchymal stem cell sheets onto a full-thickness wound defect in nude mice. Consequentially, three-layered cell sheets transplanted and stacked by ROS-induced method promoted angiogenesis and skin regeneration at the wound site. Thus, our strategy based on Hp-PK film, which allows for easy stacking and transplantation of cell sheets, could be applied to enhance tissue regeneration. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: We herein report exogenous ROS-induced cell sheet stacking method with newly fabricated hematoporphyrin-incorporated polyketone film (Hp-PK film) to enhance cell sheet transplantation efficiency and application in wound healing. Although there are several ways to stack-up cell sheets, all of these methods have limitations in transplanting the cell sheet directly to the target site. The method is simple and takes a relatively short time compared to previously reported methods for stacking and transplanting cell sheets. Thus, our study will provide a scientific impact because the method of applying exogenous ROS generated from Hp-PK film on cell detachment can transplant the cell sheet through a process of putting a cell sheet-cultured film on the lesion, irradiating with light, and then removing only the film.

Abstract
Recently, cell sheet engineering has emerged as one of the most accentuated approaches of tissue engineering and cardiac tissue is the pioneering application area of cell sheets with clinical use. In this study, we cultured rat cardiomyoblasts (H9C2 cell line) to obtain cell sheets by using three different approaches; using (1) thermo-responsive tissue culture plates, (2) high cell seeding density/high serum content and (3) ascorbic acid treatment. To compare the outcomes of three methods, morphologic examination, immunofluorescent stainings and live/dead cell assay were performed and the effects of serum concentration and ascorbic acid treatment on cardiac gene expressions were examined. The results showed that cardiomyoblast sheets were successfully obtained in all approaches without losing their integrity and viability. Also, the results of RT-PCR analysis showed that the types of tissue culture surface, cell seeding density, serum concentration and ascorbic acid treatment affect cardiac gene expressions of cells in cell sheets. Although three methods were succeeded, ascorbic acid treatment was found as the most rapid and effective method to obtain cell sheets with cardiac characteristics.
