Unveiling senescence-associated ocular pathogenesis via lacrimal gland organoid magnetic bioassembly platform and HMGB1-Box A gene therapy. Sci Rep 2024; 14:21784. [PMID: 39294273 PMCID: PMC11410968 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-73101-8] [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: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 09/13/2024] [Indexed: 09/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial aging disorder leading to tear film insufficiency and instability. Yet, an important knowledge gap lingers in understanding senescence-associated ocular pathogenesis, due to limited in vitro translational lacrimal gland (LG) models. Consequently, this remains a major roadblock to discover effective therapies for the restoration of tear film secretion. Herein, the authors reported the magnetic bioassembly of two LG organoid platforms to recapitulate functional and aging states. Using a proof-of-concept approach, porcine primary LG cells were assembled into organoids via a magnetic 3D bioprinting (M3DB) platform. This platform could form reproducible LG organoids with epithelial hallmarks (AQP5+) and exhibit epithelial secretory functions (lysozyme activity). DNA damage-induced senescence and cell death was induced with etoposide, and LG organoid hypofunction and senescence-associated pathogenesis were observed. To confer DNA protection against aging, a novel gene therapy with Box A domain of high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1-Box A) previously established by our group, was applied here to prevent LG cellular senescence for the first time. HMGB1-Box A transfection prevented LG organoids from senescence-associated pathogenesis at the transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomic levels. Thus, M3DB platforms could generate functional and DNA damage-induced senescence LG organoids, and this latter damage could be prevented with HMGB1-Box A gene therapy.

Abstract
Non-healing skin wounds pose significant clinical challenges, with biologic products like exosomes showing promise for wound healing. Saliva and saliva-derived exosomes, known to accelerate wound repair, yet their extraction is difficult due to the complex environment of oral cavity. In this study, as a viable alternative, we established human minor salivary gland organoids (hMSG-ORG) to produce exosomes (MsOrg-Exo). In vitro, MsOrg-Exo significantly enhanced cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. When incorporated into a GelMA-based controlled-release system, MsOrg-Exo demonstrated controlled release, effectively improving wound closure, collagen synthesis, angiogenesis, and cellular proliferation in a murine skin wound model. Further molecular analyses revealed that MsOrg-Exo promotes proliferation, angiogenesis and the secretion of growth factors in wound sites. Proteomic profiling showed that MsOrg-Exo's protein composition is similar to human saliva and enriched in proteins essential for wound repair, immune modulation, and coagulation. Additionally, MsOrg-Exo was found to modulate macrophage polarization, inducing a shift towards M1 and M2 phenotypes in vitro within 48 h and predominantly towards the M2 phenotype in vivo after 15 days. In conclusion, our study successfully extracted MsOrg-Exo from hMSG-ORGs, confirmed the effectiveness of the controlled-release system combining MsOrg-Exo with GelMA in promoting skin wound healing, and explored the potential role of macrophages in this action.

Abstract
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) originate from the neural crest and the present mesenchymal phenotype showed self-renewal capabilities and can differentiate into at least three lineages. DPSCs are easily isolated with minimal harm, no notable ethical constraints, and without general anesthesia to the donor individuals. Furthermore, cryopreservation of DPSCs provides this opportunity for autologous transplantation in future studies without fundamental changes in stemness, viability, proliferation, and differentiating features. Current approaches for pulp tissue regeneration include pulp revascularization, cell-homing-based regenerative endodontic treatment (RET), cell-transplantation-based regenerative endodontic treatment, and allogeneic transplantation. In recent years, a novel technology, organoid, provides a mimic physiological condition and tissue construct that can be applied for tissue engineering, genetic manipulation, disease modeling, single-cell high throughput analysis, living biobank, cryopreserving and maintaining cells, and therapeutic approaches based on personalized medicine. The organoids can be a reliable preclinical prediction model for evaluating cell behavior, monitoring drug response or resistance, and comparing healthy and pathological conditions for therapeutic and prognostic approaches. In the current review, we focused on the promising application of 3D organoid technology based on DPSCs in oral and maxillofacial tissue regeneration. We discussed encountering challenges and limitations, and found promising solutions to overcome obstacles.

Abstract
Tumor patients-derived organoids, as a promising preclinical prediction model, have been utilized to evaluate ex vivo drug responses for formulating optimal therapeutic strategies. Detecting adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has been widely used in existing organoid-based drug response tests. However, all commercial ATP detection kits containing the cell lysis procedure can only be applied for single time point ATP detection, resulting in the neglect of dynamic ATP variations in living cells. Meanwhile, due to the limited number of viable organoids from a single patient, it is impractical to exhaustively test all potential time points in search of optimal ones. In this work, a multifunctional microfluidic chip was developed to perform all procedures of organoid-based drug response tests, including establishment, culturing, drug treatment, and ATP monitoring of organoids. An ATP sensor was developed to facilitate the first successful attempt on whole-course monitoring the growth status of fragile organoids. To realize a clinically applicable automatic system for the drug testing of lung cancer, a microfluidic chip based automated system was developed to perform entire organoid-based drug response test, bridging the gap between laboratorial manipulation and clinical practices, as it outperformed previous methods by improving data repeatability, eliminating human error/sample loss, and more importantly, providing a more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of drug effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Salivary gland (SG) hypofunction is a common clinical condition arising from radiotherapy to suppress head and neck cancers. The radiation often destroys the SG secretory acini, and glands are left with limited regenerative potential. Due to the complex architecture of SG acini and ducts, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting platforms have emerged to spatially define these in vitro epithelial units and develop mini-organs or organoids for regeneration. Due to the limited body of evidence, this comprehensive review highlights the advantages and challenges of bioprinting platforms for SG regeneration. METHODS SG microtissue engineering strategies such as magnetic 3D bioassembly of cells and microfluidic coaxial 3D bioprinting of cell-laden microfibers and microtubes have been proposed to replace the damaged acinar units, avoid the use of xenogeneic matrices (like Matrigel), and restore salivary flow. RESULTS Replacing the SG damaged organ is challenging due to its complex architecture, which combines a ductal network with acinar epithelial units to facilitate a unidirectional flow of saliva. Our research group was the first to develop 3D bioassembly SG epithelial functional organoids with innervation to respond to both cholinergic and adrenergic stimulation. More recently, microtissue engineering using coaxial 3D bioprinting of hydrogel microfibers and microtubes could also supported the formation of viable epithelial units. Both bioprinting approaches could overcome the need for Matrigel by facilitating the assembly of adult stem cells, such as human dental pulp stem cells, and primary SG cells into micro-sized 3D constructs able to produce their own matrix and self-organize into micro-modular tissue clusters with lumenized areas. Furthermore, extracellular vesicle (EV) therapies from organoid-derived secretome were also designed and validated ex vivo for SG regeneration after radiation damage. CONCLUSION Magnetic 3D bioassembly and microfluidic coaxial bioprinting platforms have the potential to create SG mini-organs for regenerative applications via organoid transplantation or organoid-derived EV therapies.

Abstract
Salivary glands (SGs) play a vital role in maintaining oral health through the production and release of saliva. Injury to SGs can lead to gland hypofunction and a decrease in saliva secretion manifesting as xerostomia. While symptomatic treatments for xerostomia exist, effective permanent solutions are still lacking, emphasizing the need for innovative approaches. Significant progress has been made in the field of three-dimensional (3D) SG bioengineering for applications in gland regeneration. This has been achieved through a major focus on cell culture techniques, including soluble cues and biomaterial components of the 3D niche. Cells derived from both adult and embryonic SGs have highlighted key in vitro characteristics of SG 3D models. While still in its first decade of exploration, SG spheroids and organoids have so far served as crucial tools to study SG pathophysiology. This review, based on a literature search over the past decade, covers the importance of SG cell types in the realm of their isolation, sourcing, and culture conditions that modulate the 3D microenvironment. We discuss different biomaterials employed for SG culture and the current advances made in bioengineering SG models using them. The success of these 3D cellular models are further evaluated in the context of their applications in organ transplantation and in vitro disease modeling.

Abstract
Sebaceous glands (SGs), as holocrine-secreting appendages, lubricate the skin and play a central role in the skin barrier. Large full-thickness skin defects cause overall architecture disruption and SG loss. However, an effective strategy for SG regeneration is lacking. Organoids are 3D multicellular structures that replicate key anatomical and functional characteristics of in vivo tissues and exhibit great potential in regenerative medicine. Recently, considerable progress has been made in developing reliable procedures for SG organoids and existing SG organoids recapitulate the main morphological, structural and functional features of their in vivo counterparts. Engineering approaches empower researchers to manipulate cell behaviors, the surrounding environment and cell-environment crosstalk within the culture system as needed. These techniques can be applied to the SG organoid culture system to generate functionally more competent SG organoids. This review aims to provide an overview of recent advancements in SG organoid engineering. It highlights some potential strategies for SG organoid functionalization that are promising to forge a platform for engineering vascularized, innervated, immune-interactive and lipogenic SG organoids. We anticipate that this review will not only contribute to improving our understanding of SG biology and regeneration but also facilitate the transition of the SG organoid from laboratory research to a feasible clinical application.

Biofabrication 2024; 16:035009. [PMID: 38574552 DOI: 10.1088/1758-5090/ad3aa5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024]
Abstract
The advent of 3D bioprinting technologies in tissue engineering has unlocked the potential to fabricatein vitrotissue models, overcoming the constraints associated with the shape limitations of preformed scaffolds. However, achieving an accurate mimicry of complex tissue microenvironments, encompassing cellular and biochemical components, and orchestrating their supramolecular assembly to form hierarchical structures while maintaining control over tissue formation, is crucial for gaining deeper insights into tissue repair and regeneration. Building upon our expertise in developing competent three-dimensional tissue equivalents (e.g. skin, gut, cervix), we established a two-step bottom-up approach involving the dynamic assembly of microtissue precursors (μTPs) to generate macroscopic functional tissue composed of cell-secreted extracellular matrix (ECM). To enhance precision and scalability, we integrated extrusion-based bioprinting technology into our established paradigm to automate, control and guide the coherent assembly ofμTPs into predefined shapes. Compared to cell-aggregated bioink, ourμTPs represent a functional unit where cells are embedded in their specific ECM.μTPs were derived from human dermal fibroblasts dynamically seeded onto gelatin-based microbeads. After 9 days,μTPs were suspended (50% v/v) in Pluronic-F127 (30% w/v) (µTP:P30), and the obtained formulation was loaded as bioink into the syringe of the Dr.INVIVO-4D6 extrusion based bioprinter.µTP:P30 bioink showed shear-thinning behavior and temperature-dependent viscosity (gel atT> 30 °C), ensuringµTPs homogenous dispersion within the gel and optimal printability. The bioprinting involved extruding several geometries (line, circle, and square) into Pluronic-F127 (40% w/v) (P40) support bath, leveraging its shear-recovery property. P40 effectively held the bioink throughout and after the bioprinting procedure, untilµTPs fused into a continuous connective tissue.µTPs fusion dynamics was studied over 8 days of culture, while the resulting endogenous construct underwent 28 days culture. Histological, immunofluorescence analysis, and second harmonic generation reconstruction revealed an increase in endogenous collagen and fibronectin production within the bioprinted construct, closely resembling the composition of the native connective tissues.

Abstract
Many efforts have been paid to advance the effectiveness of personalized medicine for lung cancer patients. Sequencing-based molecular diagnosis of EGFR mutations has been widely used to guide the selection of anti-lung-cancer drugs. Organoid-based assays have also been developed to ex vivo test individual responses to anti-lung-cancer drugs. After addressing several technical difficulties, a new combined strategy, in which anti-cancer medicines are first selected based on molecular diagnosis and then ex vivo tested on organoids, has been realized in a single dual-functional microfluidic chip. A DNA-based nanoruler has been developed to detect the existence of EGFR mutations and shrink the detection period from weeks to hours, compared with sequencing. The employment of the DNA-based nanoruler creates a possibility to purposively test anti-cancer drugs, either EGFR-TKIs or chemotherapy drugs, not both, on limited amounts of organoids. Moreover, a DNA-based nanosensor has been developed to recognize intracellular ATP variation without harming cell viability, realizing in situ monitoring of the whole course growth status of organoids for on-chip drug response test. The dual-functional microfluidic chip was validated by both cell lines and clinical samples from lung cancer patients. Furthermore, based on the dual-functional microfluidic chip, a fully automated system has been developed to span the divide between experimental procedures and therapeutic approaches. This study constitutes a novel way of combining EGFR mutation detection and organoid-based drug response test on an individual patient for guiding personalized lung cancer medicine.

Abstract
3D bioprinting has unlocked new possibilities for generating complex and functional tissues and organs. However, one of the greatest challenges lies in selecting the appropriate seed cells for constructing fully functional 3D artificial organs. Currently, there are no cell sources available that can fulfill all requirements of 3D bioprinting technologies, and each cell source possesses unique characteristics suitable for specific applications. In this review, we explore the impact of different 3D bioprinting technologies and bioink materials on seed cells, providing a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of cell sources that have been used or hold potential in 3D bioprinting. We also summarized key points to guide the selection of seed cells for 3D bioprinting. Moreover, we offer insights into the prospects of seed cell sources in 3D bioprinted organs, highlighting their potential to revolutionize the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Regenerative dentistry is a rapidly evolving field in dentistry, which has been driven by advancements in biomedical engineering research and the rising treatment expectations and demands that exceed the scope of conventional approaches. Tissue engineering, the foundation of regenerative dentistry, mainly focuses on 3 key components: stem cells, bioactive molecules, and scaffolds. Dental tissue-derived stem cells are especially significant in this regard due to their remarkable properties. Regenerative techniques have provided novel approaches to many conventional treatment strategies in various disciplines of dentistry. For instance, regenerative endodontic procedures such as pulp revascularisation have provided an alternative approach to conventional root canal treatment. In addition, conventional surgical and nonsurgical periodontal treatment is being taken over by modified approaches of guided tissue regeneration with the aid of 3-dimensional bioprinting and computer-aided design, which has revolutionised oral and maxillofacial tissue engineering. This review presents a concise overview of the latest treatment strategies that have emerged into clinical practice, potential future technologies, and the role of dental tissue-derived stem cells in regenerative dentistry.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures have garnered significant attention in biomedical research due to their ability to mimic the in vivo cellular environment more accurately. The formation of 3D cell spheroids using hanging drops has emerged as a cost-effective and crucial method for generating uniformly-sized spheroids. This study aimed to validate the potential of a tip-refill wafer (TrW), a disposable laboratory item used to hold pipette tips, in facilitating 3D cell culture. The TrW allows for easy generation of hanging drops by pipetting the solution into the holes of the wafer. The mechanical stability of the hanging drops is ensured by the surface wettability and thickness of the TrW. Hanging drops containing 60-µL of solution remained securely attached to the TrW even when subjected to orbital shaking at 210 rpm. The exceptional resistance to mechanical shaking enabled the use of inertial focusing to facilitate spheroid formation. This was demonstrated through live/dead cell staining, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analysis, and cytoskeleton staining, which revealed that horizontal orbiting at 60 rpm for 15 min promoted cell aggregation and ultimately led to the formation of 3D spheroids. The spheroid harvest rate is 96.1% ± 3.5% across three TrWs, each containing 60 hanging drops. In addition to generating mono-culture 3D spheroids, the TrW-based hanging drop platform also enables the formation of multicellular spheroids, and on-demand pairing and fusion of spheroids. The TrW is a disposable item that does not require any fabrication or surface modification procedures, further enhancing its application potential in conventional biological laboratories.

Abstract
Salivary gland hypofunction (SGH) caused by systemic disease, drugs, aging, and radiotherapy for head and neck cancer can cause dry mouth, which increases the risk of disorders such as periodontitis, taste disorders, pain and burning sensations in the mouth, dental caries, and dramatically reduces the quality of life of patients. To date, the treatment of SGH is still aimed at relieving patients' clinical symptoms and improving their quality of life, and is not able to repair and regenerate the damaged salivary glands. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and extended pluripotent stem cells (EPSCs), are an emerging source of cellular therapies that are capable of unlimited proliferation and differentiation into cells of all three germ layers. In recent years, the immunomodulatory and tissue regenerative effects of PSCs, their derived cells, and paracrine products of these cells have received increasing attention and have demonstrated promising therapeutic effects in some preclinical studies targeting SGH. This review outlined the etiologies and available treatments for SGH. The existing efficacy and potential role of PSCs, their derived cells and paracrine products of these cells for SGH are summarized, with a focus on PSC-derived salivary gland stem/progenitor cells (SGS/PCs) and PSC-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this Review, we provide a conceptual outline of our current understanding of PSCs-based therapy and its importance in SGH treatment, which may inform and serve the design of future studies.

Abstract
Ionizing radiation, commonly used for head and neck cancer treatment, typically damages the salivary glands, resulting in hyposalivation. The development of treatments to restore this lost function is crucial for improving the quality of life for patients suffering from this condition. To address this clinical need, we have developed an innovative hydrogel by chemically conjugating laminin-1 peptides (A99 and YIGSR) and growth factors, FGF-7 and FGF-10, to fibrin hydrogels. Our results demonstrate that FGF-7/10 and laminin-1 peptides fortified fibrin hydrogel [enhanced laminin-1 peptides fibrin hydrogel (Ep-FH)] promotes salivary gland regeneration and functionality by improving epithelial tissue organization, establishing a healthy network of blood vessels and nerves, while reducing fibrosis in a head and neck irradiated mouse model. These results indicate that fibrin hydrogel-based implantable scaffolds containing pro-regenerative signals promote sustained secretory function of irradiated salivary glands, offering a potential alternative treatment for hyposalivation in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment. These unique findings emphasize the potential of fibrin hydrogel-based implantable scaffolds enriched with pro-regenerative signals in sustaining the secretory function of irradiated salivary glands and offer a promising alternative treatment for addressing hyposalivation in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Radiation therapies used to treat head and neck cancers often result in damaged salivary gland, leading to severe dryness of the oral cavity. In this study, we engineered FGF-7 and FGF-10 and immobilized them into L1p-FH. The resulting hydrogel, Ep-FH, restored irradiated salivary gland functionality by enhancing epithelial tissue organization, promoting the development of a healthy network of blood vessels and nerves as well as reduction of fibrosis.

Abstract
Bioprinting, as a groundbreaking technology, enables the fabrication of biomimetic tissues and organs with highly complex structures, multiple cell types, mechanical heterogeneity, and diverse functional gradients. With the growing demand for organ transplantation and the limited number of organ donors, bioprinting holds great promise for addressing the organ shortage by manufacturing completely functional organs. While the bioprinting of complete organs remains a distant goal, there has been considerable progress in the development of bioprinted transplantable tissues and organs for regenerative medicine. This review article recapitulates the current achievements of organ 3D bioprinting, primarily encompassing five important organs in the human body (i.e., the heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, and lungs). Challenges from cellular techniques, biomanufacturing technologies, and organ maturation techniques are also deliberated for the broad application of organ bioprinting. In addition, the integration of bioprinting with other cutting-edge technologies including machine learning, organoids, and microfluidics is envisioned, which strives to offer the reader the prospect of bioprinting in constructing functional organs.

Abstract
Biomimetic cell culture, which involves creating a biomimetic microenvironment for cells in vitro by engineering approaches, has aroused increasing interest given that it maintains the normal cellular phenotype, genotype and functions displayed in vivo. Therefore, it can provide a more precise platform for disease modelling, drug development and regenerative medicine than the conventional plate cell culture. In this review, initially, we discuss the principle of biomimetic cell culture in terms of the spatial microenvironment, chemical microenvironment, and physical microenvironment. Then, the main strategies of biomimetic cell culture and their state-of-the-art progress are summarized. To create a biomimetic microenvironment for cells, a variety of strategies has been developed, ranging from conventional scaffold strategies, such as macroscopic scaffolds, microcarriers, and microgels, to emerging scaffold-free strategies, such as spheroids, organoids, and assembloids, to simulate the native cellular microenvironment. Recently, 3D bioprinting and microfluidic chip technology have been applied as integrative platforms to obtain more complex biomimetic structures. Finally, the challenges in this area are discussed and future directions are discussed to shed some light on the community.

Abstract
Cancer organoids have become promising tools for predicting drug responses on many different types of cancer. Detecting the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) has currently been considered as a decisive test to profile the growth status and drug responses of organoids. ATP profiling using commercial ATP detection kits, which involve cell lysis, can be performed at a single time spot, causing a clinical dilemma of selecting the optimal time spot to adopt diverse cancer types and patients. This study provides a feasible solution to this dilemma by developing a DNA-based ATP nanosensor to realize real-time ATP monitoring in organoids for a long term. The employment of DNA materials ensures high biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, which are crucial for fragile organoids; The usage of tetrahedral DNA framework ensures cell permeability and intracellular ATP detection; The introduction of ATP-mediated molecular replacement ensures the high sensitivity and selectivity of ATP recognition. These features result in the first successful attempt on real-time monitoring ATP in organoids for up to 26 days and gaining growth status curves for the whole duration of a drug sensitivity test on human lung cancer organoids.

Plant molecular farming-derived epidermal growth factor revolutionizes hydrogels for improving glandular epithelial organoid biofabrication. SLAS Technol 2023; 28:278-291. [PMID: 36966988 DOI: 10.1016/j.slast.2023.03.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2022] [Revised: 02/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023]
Abstract
Epidermal growth factor (EGF) is a known signaling cue essential towards the development and organoid biofabrication particularly for exocrine glands. This study developed an in vitro EGF delivery platform with Nicotiana benthamiana plant-produced EGF (P-EGF) encapsulated on hyaluronic acid/alginate (HA/Alg) hydrogel to improve the effectiveness of glandular organoid biofabrication in short-term culture systems. Primary submandibular gland epithelial cells were treated with 5 - 20 ng/mL of P-EGF and commercially available bacteria-derived EGF (B-EGF). Cell proliferation and metabolic activity were measured by MTT and luciferase-based ATP assays. P-EGF and B-EGF 5 - 20 ng/mL promoted glandular epithelial cell proliferation during 6 culture days on a comparable fashion. Organoid forming efficiency and cellular viability, ATP-dependent activity and expansion were evaluated using two EGF delivery systems, HA/Alg-based encapsulation and media supplementation. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was used as a control vehicle. Epithelial organoids fabricated from PBS-, B-EGF-, and P-EGF-encapsulated hydrogels were characterized genotypically, phenotypically and by functional assays. P-EGF-encapsulated hydrogel enhanced organoid formation efficiency and cellular viability and metabolism relative to P-EGF supplementation. At culture day 3, epithelial organoids developed from P-EGF-encapsulated HA/Alg platform contained functional cell clusters expressing specific glandular epithelial markers such as exocrine pro-acinar (AQP5, NKCC1, CHRM1, CHRM3, Mist1), ductal (K18, Krt19), and myoepithelial (α-SMA, Acta2), and possessed a high mitotic activity (38-62% Ki67 cells) with a large epithelial progenitor population (∼70% K14 cells). The P-EGF encapsulation strikingly upregulated the expression of pro-acinar AQP5 cells through culture time when compared to others (B-EGF, PBS). Thus, the utilization of Nicotiana benthamiana in molecular farming can produce EGF biologicals amenable to encapsulation in HA/Alg-based in vitro platforms, which can effectively and promptly induce the biofabrication of exocrine gland organoids.

Abstract
3D cell culture approaches are cell culture methods that provide good visualization of interactions between cells while preserving the natural growth pattern. In recent years, several studies have managed to implement magnetic levitation technology on 3D cell culture applications by either combining cells with magnetic nanoparticles (positive magnetophoresis) or applying a magnetic field directly to the cells in a high-intensity medium (negative magnetophoresis). The positive magnetophoresis technique consists of integrating magnetic nanoparticles into the cells, while the negative magnetophoresis technique consists of levitating the cells without labelling them with magnetic nanoparticles. Magnetic levitation methods can be used to manipulate 3D culture, provide more complex habitats and custom control, or display density data as a sensor.The present review aims to show the advantages, limitations, and promises of magnetic 3D cell culture, along with its application methods, tools, and capabilities as a density sensor. In this context, the promising magnetic levitation technique on 3D cell cultures could be fully utilized in further studies with precise control.

Abstract
Hyposalivation and severe dry mouth syndrome are the most common complications in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) after receiving radiation therapy. Conventional treatment for hyposalivation relies on the use of sialogogues such as pilocarpine; however, their efficacy is constrained by the limited number of remnant acinar cells after radiation. After radiotherapy, the salivary gland (SG) secretory parenchyma is largely destroyed, and due to the reduced stem cell niche, this gland has poor regenerative potential. To tackle this, researchers must be able to generate highly complex cellularized 3D constructs for clinical transplantation via technologies, including those that involve bioprinting of cells and biomaterials. A potential stem cell source with promising clinical outcomes to reserve dry mouth is adipose mesenchymal stem cells (AdMSC). MSC-like cells like human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC) have been tested in novel magnetic bioprinting platforms using nanoparticles that can bind cell membranes by electrostatic interaction, as well as their paracrine signals arising from extracellular vesicles. Both magnetized cells and their secretome cues were found to increase epithelial and neuronal growth of in vitro and ex vivo irradiated SG models. Interestingly, these magnetic bioprinting platforms can be applied as a high-throughput drug screening system due to the consistency in structure and functions of their organoids. Recently, exogenous decellularized porcine ECM was added to this magnetic platform to stimulate an ideal environment for cell tethering, proliferation, and/or differentiation. The combination of these SG tissue biofabrication strategies will promptly allow for in vitro organoid formation and establishment of cellular senescent organoids for aging models, but challenges remain in terms of epithelial polarization and lumen formation for unidirectional fluid flow. Current magnetic bioprinting nanotechnologies can provide promising functional and aging features to in vitro craniofacial exocrine gland organoids, which can be utilized for novel drug discovery and/or clinical transplantation.

Abstract
Xerostomia is the phenomenon of dry mouth and is mostly caused by hypofunction of the salivary glands. This hypofunction can be caused by tumors, head and neck irradiation, hormonal changes, inflammation or autoimmune disease such as Sjögren's syndrome. It is associated with a tremendous decrease in health-related quality of life due to impairment of articulation, ingestion and oral immune defenses. Current treatment concepts mainly consist of saliva substitutes and parasympathomimetic drugs, but the outcome of these therapies is deficient. Regenerative medicine is a promising approach for the treatment of compromised tissue. For this purpose, stem cells can be utilized due to their ability to differentiate into various cell types. Dental pulp stem cells are adult stem cells that can be easily harvested from extracted teeth. They can form tissues of all three germ layers and are therefore becoming more and more popular for tissue engineering. Another potential benefit of these cells is their immunomodulatory effect. They suppress proinflammatory pathways of lymphocytes and could therefore probably be used for the treatment of chronic inflammation and autoimmune disease. These attributes make dental pulp stem cells an interesting tool for the regeneration of salivary glands and the treatment of xerostomia. Nevertheless, clinical studies are still missing. This review will highlight the current strategies for using dental pulp stem cells in the regeneration of salivary gland tissue.

Abstract
Oral and maxillofacial organoids, as three-dimensional study models of organs, have attracted increasing attention in tissue regeneration and disease modeling. However, traditional strategies for organoid construction still fail to precisely recapitulate the key characteristics of real organs, due to the difficulty in controlling the self-organization of cells in vitro. This review aims to summarize the recent progress of novel approaches to engineering oral and maxillofacial organoids. First, we introduced the necessary components and their roles in forming oral and maxillofacial organoids. Besides, we discussed cutting-edge technology in advancing the architecture and function of organoids, especially focusing on oral and maxillofacial tissue regeneration via novel strategy with designed cell-signal scaffold compounds. Finally, current limitations and future prospects of oral and maxillofacial organoids were represented to provide guidance for further disciplinary progression and clinical application to achieve organ regeneration.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) stem cell culture systems have attracted considerable attention as a way to better mimic the complex interactions between individual cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) that occur in vivo. Moreover, 3D cell culture systems have unique properties that help guide specific functions, growth, and processes of stem cells (e.g., embryogenesis, morphogenesis, and organogenesis). Thus, 3D stem cell culture systems that mimic in vivo environments enable basic research about various tissues and organs. In this review, we focus on the advanced therapeutic applications of stem cell-based 3D culture systems generated using different engineering techniques. Specifically, we summarize the historical advancements of 3D cell culture systems and discuss the therapeutic applications of stem cell-based spheroids and organoids, including engineering techniques for tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Trending three-dimensional tissue engineering platforms developed via biofabrication and bioprinting of exocrine glands are on the rise due to a commitment to organogenesis principles. Nevertheless, a proper extracellular matrix (ECM) microarchitecture to harbor primary cells is yet to be established towards human salivary gland (SG) organogenesis. By using porcine submandibular gland (SMG) biopsies as a proof-of-concept to mimic the human SG, a new decellularized ECM bioassembly platform was developed herein with varying perfusions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to limit denaturing events and ensure proper preservation of the native ECM biochemical niche. Porcine SMG biopsies were perfused with 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1% SDS and bio-assembled magnetically in porous polycarbonate track-etched (PCTE) membrane. Double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), cell removal efficiency, and ECM biochemical contents were analyzed. SDS at 0.1% and 1% efficiently removed dsDNA (< 50 ng/mg) and preserved key matrix components (sulfated glycosaminoglycans, collagens, elastin) and the microarchitecture of native SMG ECM. Bio-assembled SMG decellularized ECM (dECM) perfused with 0.1-1% SDS enhanced cell viability, proliferation, expansion confluency rates, and tethering of primary SMG cells during 7 culture days. Perfusion with 1% SDS promoted greater cell proliferation rates while 0.1% SDS supported higher acinar epithelial expression when compared to basement membrane extract and other substrates. Thus, this dECM magnetic bioassembly strategy was effective for decellularization while retaining the original ECM biochemical niche and promoting SMG cell proliferation, expansion, differentiation, and tethering. Altogether, these outcomes pave the way towards the recellularization of this novel SMG dECM in future in vitro and in vivo applications.

Abstract
Organoid, a 3D structure derived from various cell sources including progenitor and differentiated cells that self-organize through cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions to recapitulate the tissue/organ-specific architecture and function in vitro. The advancement of stem cell culture and the development of hydrogel-based extracellular matrices (ECM) have made it possible to derive self-assembled 3D tissue constructs like organoids. The ability to mimic the actual physiological conditions is the main advantage of organoids, reducing the excessive use of animal models and variability between animal models and humans. However, the complex microenvironment and complex cellular structure of organoids cannot be easily developed only using traditional cell biology. Therefore, several bioengineering approaches, including microfluidics, bioreactors, 3D bioprinting, and organoids-on-a-chip techniques, are extensively used to generate more physiologically relevant organoids. In this review, apart from organoid formation and self-assembly basics, the available bioengineering technologies are extensively discussed as solutions for traditional cell biology-oriented problems in organoid cultures. Also, the natural and synthetic hydrogel systems used in organoid cultures are discussed when necessary to highlight the significance of the stem cell microenvironment. The selected organoid models and their therapeutic applications in drug discovery and disease modeling are also presented.

Abstract
Salivary glands (SG) are exocrine organs with secretory units commonly injured by radiotherapy. Bio-engineered organoids and extracellular vesicles (EV) are currently under investigation as potential strategies for SG repair. Herein, three-dimensional (3D) cultures of SG functional organoids (SGo) and human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSC) were generated by magnetic 3D bioassembly (M3DB) platforms. Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) was used to enrich the SGo in secretory epithelial units. After 11 culture days via M3DB, SGo displayed SG-specific acinar epithelial units with functional properties upon neurostimulation. To consistently develop 3D hDPSC in vitro, 3 culture days were sufficient to maintain hDPSC undifferentiated genotype and phenotype for EV generation. EV isolation was performed via sequential centrifugation of the conditioned media of hDPSC and SGo cultures. EV were characterized by nanoparticle tracking analysis, electron microscopy and immunoblotting. EV were in the exosome range for hDPSC (diameter: 88.03 ± 15.60 nm) and for SGo (123.15 ± 63.06 nm). Upon ex vivo administration, exosomes derived from SGo significantly stimulated epithelial growth (up to 60%), mitosis, epithelial progenitors and neuronal growth in injured SG; however, such biological effects were less distinctive with the ones derived from hDPSC. Next, these exosome biological effects were investigated by proteomic arrays. Mass spectrometry profiling of SGo exosomes predicted that cellular growth, development and signaling was due to known and undocumented molecular targets downstream of FGF10. Semaphorins were identified as one of the novel targets requiring further investigations. Thus, M3DB platforms can generate exosomes with potential to ameliorate SG epithelial damage.

Abstract
Efforts to heal damaged pulp tissue through tissue engineering have produced positive results in pilot trials. However, the differentiation between real regeneration and mere repair is not possible through clinical measures. Therefore, preclinical study models are still of great importance, both to gain insights into treatment outcomes on tissue and cell levels and to develop further concepts for dental pulp regeneration. This review aims at compiling information about different in vitro and in vivo ectopic, semiorthotopic, and orthotopic models. In this context, the differences between monolayer and three-dimensional cell cultures are discussed, a semiorthotopic transplantation model is introduced as an in vivo model for dental pulp regeneration, and finally, different animal models used for in vivo orthotopic investigations are presented.

Abstract
Cell-based assays, conducted on monolayer (2D) cultured cells, are an unquestionably valuable tool for biomedical research. However, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models have gained relevance over the last few years due to the advantages of better mimicking the microenvironment and tissue microarchitecture in vivo. Recent magnetic-based 3D (m3D) cell culture systems can be used for this purpose. These systems are based on exposing magnetized cells to magnetic fields by levitation, bioprinting, or ring formation to promote cell aggregation into 3D structures. However, the successful development of these structures is dependent on several methodological characteristics and can be applied to mimic different human tissues. Thus, a systematic review was performed using Medline (via Pubmed), Scopus, and Web of Science (until February 2022) databases to aggregate studies using m3D culture in which human tissues were mimicked. The search generated 3784 records, of which 25 met the inclusion criteria. The usability of these m3D systems for the development of homotypic or heterotypic spheroids with or without scaffolds was explored in these studies. We also explore methodological differences specifically related to the magnetic method. Generally, the development of m3D cultures has been increasing, with bioprinting and levitation systems being the most used to generate homotypic or heterotypic cultures, mainly to mimic the physiology of human tissues, but also to perform therapeutic screening. This systematic review showed that there are areas of research where the application of this method remains barely explored, such as cancer research.

Abstract
A multitude of aging-related factors and systemic conditions can cause lacrimal gland (LG) or salivary gland (SG) hypofunction leading to degenerative dry eye disease (DED) or dry mouth syndrome, respectively. Currently, there are no effective regenerative therapies that can fully reverse such gland hypofunction due to the lack of reproducible in vitro aging models or organoids required to develop novel treatments for multi-omic profiling. Previously, our research group successful developed three-dimensional (3D) bioassembly nanotechnologies towards the generation of functional exocrine gland organoids via magnetic 3D bioprinting platforms (M3DB). To meet the needs of our aging Asian societies, a next step was taken to design consistent M3DB protocols to engineer LG and SG organoid models with aging molecular and pathological features. Herein, a feasible step-by-step protocol was provided for producing both LG and SG organoids using M3DB platforms. Such protocol provided reproducible outcomes with final organoid products resembling LG or SG native parenchymal epithelial tissues. Both acinar and ductal epithelial compartments were prominent (21 ± 4.32% versus 42 ± 6.72%, respectively), and could be clearly identified in these organoids. Meanwhile, these can be further developed into aging signature models by inducing cellular senescence via chemical mutagenesis. The generation of senescence-like organoids will be our ultimate milestone aiming towards high throughput applications for drug screening and discovery, and for gene therapy investigations to reverse aging.

Abstract
Tissue/organ shortage is a major medical challenge due to donor scarcity and patient immune rejections. Furthermore, it is difficult to predict or mimic the human disease condition in animal models during preclinical studies because disease phenotype differs between humans and animals. Three-dimensional bioprinting (3DBP) is evolving into an unparalleled multidisciplinary technology for engineering three-dimensional (3D) biological tissue with complex architecture and composition. The technology has emerged as a key driver by precise deposition and assembly of biomaterials with patient's/donor cells. This advancement has aided in the successful fabrication of in vitro models, preclinical implants, and tissue/organs-like structures. Here, we critically reviewed the current state of 3D-bioprinting strategies for regenerative therapy in eight organ systems, including nervous, cardiovascular, skeletal, integumentary, endocrine and exocrine, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urinary systems. We also focus on the application of 3D bioprinting to fabricated in vitro models to study cancer, infection, drug testing, and safety assessment. The concept of in situ 3D bioprinting is discussed, which is the direct printing of tissues at the injury or defect site for reparative and regenerative therapy. Finally, issues such as scalability, immune response, and regulatory approval are discussed, as well as recently developed tools and technologies such as four-dimensional and convergence bioprinting. In addition, information about clinical trials using 3D printing has been included.

Abstract
Salivary glands produce and secrete saliva, which is essential for maintaining oral health and overall health. Understanding both the unique structure and physiological function of salivary glands, as well as how they are affected by disease and injury, will direct the development of therapy to repair and regenerate them. Significant recent advances, particularly in the OMICS field, increase our understanding of how salivary glands develop at the cellular, molecular, and genetic levels: the signaling pathways involved, the dynamics of progenitor cell lineages in development, homeostasis, and regeneration, and the role of the extracellular matrix microenvironment. These provide a template for cell and gene therapies as well as bioengineering approaches to repair or regenerate salivary function.

Abstract
In the current pandemic, scenario the world is facing a huge shortage of effective drugs and other prophylactic medicine to treat patients which created havoc in several countries with poor resources. With limited demand and supply of effective drugs, researchers rushed to repurpose the existing approved drugs for the treatment of COVID-19. The process of drug screening and testing is very costly and requires several steps for validation and treatment efficacy evaluation ranging from in-vitro to in-vivo setups. After these steps, a clinical trial is mandatory for the evaluation of treatment efficacy and side effects in humans. These processes enhance the overall cost and sometimes the lead molecule show adverse effects in humans and the trial ends up in the final stages. Recently with the advent of 3D organoid culture which mimics the human tissue exactly the process of drug screening and testing can be done in a faster and cost-effective manner. Further 3D organoids prepared from stems cells taken from individuals can be beneficial for personalized drug therapy which could save millions of lives. This review discussed approaches and techniques for the synthesis of 3D-printed human organoids for drug screening. The key findings of the usage of organoids for personalized medicine for the treatment of COVID-19 have been discussed. In the end, the key challenges for the wide applicability of human organoids for drug screening with prospects of future orientation have been included. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Salivary gland (SG) dysfunction impairs the life quality of many patients, such as patients with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer and patients with Sjögren’s syndrome. Multiple SG engineering strategies have been considered for SG regeneration, repair, or whole organ replacement. An in-depth understanding of the development and differentiation of epithelial stem and progenitor cells niche during SG branching morphogenesis and signaling pathways involved in cell–cell communication constitute a prerequisite to the development of suitable bioengineering solutions. This review summarizes the essential bioengineering features to be considered to fabricate an engineered functional SG model using various cell types, biomaterials, active agents, and matrix fabrication methods. Furthermore, recent innovative and promising approaches to engineering SG models are described. Finally, this review discusses the different challenges and future perspectives in SG bioengineering.

Abstract
Dysfunction and damage of the lacrimal gland (LG) results in ocular discomfort and dry eye disease (DED). Current therapies for DED do not fully replenish the necessary lubrication to rescue optimal vision. New drug discovery for DED has been limited perhaps because in vitro models cannot mimic the biology of the native LG. The existing platforms for LG organoid culture are scarce and still not ready for consistency and scale up production towards drug screening. The magnetic three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting (M3DB) is a novel system for 3D in vitro biofabrication of cellularized tissues using magnetic nanoparticles to bring cells together. M3DB provides a scalable platform for consistent handling of spheroid-like cell cultures facilitating consistent biofabrication of organoids. Previously, we successfully generated innervated secretory epithelial organoids from human dental pulp stem cells with M3DB and found that this platform is feasible for epithelial organoid bioprinting. Research targeting LG organogenesis, drug discovery for DED has extensively used mouse models. However, certain inter-species differences between mouse and human must be considered. Porcine LG appear to have more similarities to human LG than the mouse counterparts. We have conducted preliminary studies with the M3DB for fabricating LG organoids from primary cells isolated from murine and porcine LG, and found that this platform provides robust LG organoids for future potential high-throughput analysis and drug discovery. The LG organoid holds promise to be a functional model of tearing, a platform for drug screening, and may offer clinical applications for DED.

Abstract
Progress in the development of salivary gland regenerative strategies is limited by poor maintenance of the secretory function of salivary gland cells (SGCs) in vitro. To reduce the precipitous loss of secretory function, a modified approach to isolate intact acinar cell clusters and intercalated ducts (AIDUCs), rather than commonly used single cell suspension, is investigated. This isolation approach yields AIDUCs that maintain many of the cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions of intact glands. Encapsulation of AIDUCs in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-degradable PEG hydrogels promotes self-assembly into salivary gland mimetics (SGm) with acinar-like structure. Expression of Mist1, a transcription factor associated with secretory function, is detectable throughout the in vitro culture period up to 14 days. Immunohistochemistry also confirms expression of acinar cell markers (NKCC1, PIP and AQP5), duct cell markers (K7 and K5), and myoepithelial cell markers (SMA). Robust carbachol and ATP-stimulated calcium flux is observed within the SGm for up to 14 days after encapsulation, indicating that secretory function is maintained. Though some acinar-to-ductal metaplasia is observed within SGm, it is reduced compared to previous reports. In conclusion, cell-cell interactions maintained within AIDUCs together with the hydrogel microenvironment may be a promising platform for salivary gland regenerative strategies.

Abstract
Multicellular organisms of various complexities self-organize in nature. Organoids are in vitro 3D structures that display important aspects of the anatomy and physiology of their in vivo counterparts and that develop from pluripotent or tissue-specific stem cells through a self-organization process. In this review, we describe the multidisciplinary concept of “synthetic developmental biology” where engineering approaches are employed to guide multicellular organization in an experimental setting. We introduce a novel classification of engineering approaches based on the extent of microenvironmental manipulation applied to organoids. In the final section, we discuss how engineering tools might help overcome current limitations in organoid construction.

Abstract
One of the most exciting advances in life science research is the development of 3D cell culture systems to obtain complex structures called organoids and spheroids. These 3D cultures closely mimic in vivo conditions, where cells can grow and interact with their surroundings. This allows us to better study the spatio-temporal dynamics of organogenesis and organ function. Furthermore, physiologically relevant organoids cultures can be used for basic research, medical research, and drug discovery. Although most of the research thus far focuses on the development of heart, liver, kidney, and brain organoids, to name a few, most recently, these structures were obtained using dental stem cells to study in vitro tooth regeneration. This review aims to present the most up-to-date research showing how dental stem cells can be grown on specific biomaterials to induce their differentiation in 3D. The possibility of combining engineering and biology principles to replicate and/or increase tissue function has been an emerging and exciting field in medicine. The use of this methodology in dentistry has already yielded many interesting results paving the way for the improvement of dental care and successful therapies.

Abstract
Cell culture is an important tool for the understanding of cell biology and behavior. In vitro cultivation has been increasingly indispensable for biomedical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology research. Nevertheless, with the demand for in vitro experimentation strategies more representative of in vivo conditions, tridimensional (3D) cell culture models have been successfully developed. Although these 3D models are efficient and address critical questions from different research areas, there are considerable differences between the existing techniques regarding both elaboration and cost. In light of this, this review describes the construction of 3D spheroids using magnetization while bringing the most recent updates in this field. Magnetic 3D cell culture consists of magnetizing cells using an assembly of gold and iron oxide nanoparticles cross-linked with poly-l-lysine nanoparticles. Then, 3D culture formation in special plates with the assistance of magnets for levitation or bioprinting. Here, we discuss magnetic 3D cell culture advancements, including tumor microenvironment, tissue reconstruction, blood vessel engineering, toxicology, cytotoxicity, and 3D culture of cardiomyocytes, bronchial and pancreatic cells.

Abstract
Organoids are 3D stem cell-derived self-organization of cells. Organoid bioengineering helps recreate and tailor their architecture in vitro to generate mini organ-like properties, providing the opportunity to study fundamental cell behavior in heterogeneous populations and as a tool to model various diseases. Nanomaterials (NMs) are becoming indispensable in regenerative medicine and in developing treatment modalities for various diseases. Therefore, organoid-NM interactions are set to gain traction for the development of advanced diagnostics and therapeutics. Here, we discuss the interactions of NMs with distinctive organoid types, organoid matrices, trafficking and cargo delivery, organs-on-a-chip, bioprinting, downstream therapeutic implications, and future approaches.

Abstract
Cell culture is one of the most core and fundamental techniques employed in the fields of biology and medicine. At present, although the two-dimensional cell culture method is commonly used in vitro, it is quite different from the cell growth microenvironment in vivo. In recent years, the limitations of two-dimensional culture and the advantages of three-dimensional culture have increasingly attracted more and more attentions. Compared to two-dimensional culture, three-dimensional culture system is better to realistically simulate the local microenvironment of cells, promote the exchange of information among cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM), and retain the original biological characteristics of stem cells. In this review, we first present three-dimensional cell culture methods from two aspects: a scaffold-free culture system and a scaffold-based culture system. The culture method and cell characterizations will be summarized. Then the application of three-dimensional cell culture system is further explored, such as in the fields of drug screening, organoids and assembloids. Finally, the directions for future research of three-dimensional cell culture are stated briefly.

Laminin-1 Peptides Conjugated to Fibrin Hydrogels Promote Salivary Gland Regeneration in Irradiated Mouse Submandibular Glands. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:729180. [PMID: 34631679 PMCID: PMC8498954 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.729180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2021] [Accepted: 08/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Previous studies demonstrated that salivary gland morphogenesis and differentiation are enhanced by modification of fibrin hydrogels chemically conjugated to Laminin-1 peptides. Specifically, Laminin-1 peptides (A99: CGGALRGDN-amide and YIGSR: CGGADPGYIGSRGAA-amide) chemically conjugated to fibrin promoted formation of newly organized salivary epithelium both in vitro (e.g., using organoids) and in vivo (e.g., in a wounded mouse model). While these studies were successful, the model's usefulness for inducing regenerative patterns after radiation therapy remains unknown. Therefore, the goal of the current study was to determine whether transdermal injection with the Laminin-1 peptides A99 and YIGSR chemically conjugated to fibrin hydrogels promotes tissue regeneration in irradiated salivary glands. Results indicate that A99 and YIGSR chemically conjugated to fibrin hydrogels promote formation of functional salivary tissue when transdermally injected to irradiated salivary glands. In contrast, when left untreated, irradiated salivary glands display a loss in structure and functionality. Together, these studies indicate that fibrin hydrogel-based implantable scaffolds containing Laminin-1 peptides promote secretory function of irradiated salivary glands.

Abstract
Vascularization of 3D models represents a major challenge of tissue engineering and a key prerequisite for their clinical and industrial application. The use of prevascularized models built from dedicated materials could solve some of the actual limitations, such as suboptimal integration of the bioconstructs within the host tissue, and would provide more in vivo-like perfusable tissue and organ-specific platforms. In the last decade, the fabrication of vascularized physiologically relevant 3D constructs has been attempted by numerous tissue engineering strategies, which are classified here in microfluidic technology, 3D coculture models, namely, spheroids and organoids, and biofabrication. In this review, the recent advancements in prevascularization techniques and the increasing use of natural and synthetic materials to build physiological organ-specific models are discussed. Current drawbacks of each technology, future perspectives, and translation of vascularized tissue constructs toward clinics, pharmaceutical field, and industry are also presented. By combining complementary strategies, these models are envisioned to be successfully used for regenerative medicine and drug development in a near future.

Abstract
The biology of aging is focused on the identification of novel pathways that regulate the underlying processes of aging to develop interventions aimed at delaying the onset and progression of chronic diseases to extend lifespan. However, the research on the aging field has been conducted mainly in animal models, yeast, Caenorhabditis elegans, and cell cultures. Thus, it is unclear to what extent this knowledge is transferable to humans since they might not reflect the complexity of aging in people. An organoid culture is an in vitro 3D cell-culture technology that reproduces the physiological and cellular composition of the tissues and/or organs. This technology is being used in the cancer field to predict the response of a patient-derived tumor to a certain drug or treatment serving as patient stratification and drug-guidance approaches. Modeling aging with patient-derived organoids has a tremendous potential as a preclinical model tool to discover new biomarkers of aging, to predict adverse outcomes during aging, and to design personalized approaches for the prevention and treatment of aging-related diseases and geriatric syndromes. This could represent a novel approach to study chronological and/or biological aging, paving the way to personalized interventions targeting the biology of aging.
