Abstract
3D printing technologies have the potential to revolutionize the manufacture of heart valves through the ability to create bespoke, complex constructs. In light of recent technological advances, we review the progress made towards 3D printing of heart valves, focusing on studies that have utilised these technologies beyond manufacturing patient-specific moulds. We first overview the key requirements of a heart valve to assess functionality. We then present the 3D printing technologies used to engineer heart valves. By referencing International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) Standard 5840 (Cardiovascular implants - Cardiac valve prostheses), we provide insight into the achieved functionality of these valves. Overall, 3D printing promises to have a significant positive impact on the creation of artificial heart valves and potentially unlock full complex functionality.

Abstract
Heart valve disease poses a significant clinical challenge, especially in pediatric populations, due to the inability of existing valve replacements to grow or respond biologically to their microenvironment. Tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHVs) provide a solution by facilitating patient-specific models for self-repair and remodeling. In this study, a 3D-bioprinted TEHV is designed to emulate the trilayer leaflet structure of an aortic valve. A cell-laden hydrogel scaffold made from gelatin methacrylate and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (GelMA/PEGDA) incorporates valvular interstitial-like (VIC-like) cells, being reinforced with a layer of polycaprolactone (PCL). The composition of the hydrogel scaffold remains stable over 7 days, having increased mechanical strength compared to pure GelMA. The scaffold maintains VIC-like cell function and promotes extracellular matrix (ECM) protein expression up to 14 days under two dynamic culture conditions: shear stress and stretching; replicating heart valve behavior within a more physiological-like setting and suggesting remodeling potential via ECM synthesis. This TEHV offers a promising avenue for valve replacements, closely replicating the structural and functional attributes of a native aortic valve, leading to mechanical and biological integration through biomaterial-cellular interactions.

Nanomaterials-combined methacrylated gelatin hydrogels (GelMA) for cardiac tissue constructs. J Control Release 2024; 365:617-639.

Abstract
Among non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent, accounting for approximately 17 million deaths per year. Despite conventional treatment, cardiac tissue engineering emerges as a potential alternative for the advancement and treatment of these patients, using biomaterials to replace or repair cardiac tissues. Among these materials, gelatin in its methacrylated form (GelMA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer with adjustable biophysical properties. Furthermore, gelatin has the ability to replace and perform collagen-like functions for cell development in vitro. The interest in using GelMA hydrogels combined with nanomaterials is increasingly growing to promote the responsiveness to external stimuli and improve certain properties of these hydrogels by exploring the incorporation of nanomaterials into these hydrogels to serve as electrical signaling conductive elements. This review highlights the applications of electrically conductive nanomaterials associated with GelMA hydrogels for the development of structures for cardiac tissue engineering, by focusing on studies that report the combination of GelMA with nanomaterials, such as gold and carbon derivatives (carbon nanotubes and graphene), in addition to the possibility of applying these materials in 3D tissue engineering, developing new possibilities for cardiac studies.

Abstract
The current clinical solutions, including mechanical and bioprosthetic valves for valvular heart diseases, are plagued by coagulation, calcification, nondurability, and the inability to grow with patients. The tissue engineering approach attempts to resolve these shortcomings by producing heart valve scaffolds that may deliver patients a life-long solution. Heart valve scaffolds serve as a three-dimensional support structure made of biocompatible materials that provide adequate porosity for cell infiltration, and nutrient and waste transport, sponsor cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, and allow for extracellular matrix production that together contributes to the generation of functional neotissue. The foundation of successful heart valve tissue engineering is replicating native heart valve architecture, mechanics, and cellular attributes through appropriate biomaterials and scaffold designs. This article reviews biomaterials, the fabrication of heart valve scaffolds, and their in-vitro and in-vivo evaluations applied for heart valve tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bioprinting in space is the next frontier in tissue engineering. In the absence of gravity, novel opportunities arise, as well as new challenges. The cardiovascular system needs particular attention in tissue engineering, not only to develop safe countermeasures for astronauts in future deep and long-term space missions, but also to bring solutions to organ transplantation shortage. In this perspective, the challenges encountered when using bioprinting techniques in space and current gaps that need to be overcome are discussed. The recent developments that have been made in the bioprinting of heart tissues in space and an outlook on potential future bioprinting opportunities in space are described.

Abstract
Efficient cell seeding and subsequent support from a substrate ensure optimal cell growth and neotissue development during tissue engineering, including heart valve tissue engineering. Fibrin gel as a cell carrier may provide high cell seeding efficiency and adhesion property, improved cellular interaction, and structural support to enhance cellular growth in trilayer polycaprolactone (PCL) substrates that mimic the structure of native heart valve leaflets. This cell carrier gel coupled with a trilayer PCL substrate may enable the production of native-like cell-cultured leaflet constructs suitable for heart valve tissue engineering. In this study, we seeded valvular interstitial cells onto trilayer PCL substrates with fibrin gel as a cell carrier and cultured them for 1 month in vitro to determine if this gel can improve cell proliferation and production of extracellular matrix within the trilayer cell-cultured constructs. We observed that the fibrin gel enhanced cellular proliferation, their vimentin expression, and collagen and glycosaminoglycan production, leading to improved structure and mechanical properties of the developing PCL cell-cultured constructs. Fibrin gel as a cell carrier significantly improved the orientations of the cells and their produced tissue materials within trilayer PCL substrates that mimic the structure of native heart valve leaflets and, thus, may be highly beneficial for developing functional tissue-engineered leaflet constructs.

Abstract
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most predominant birth defect and can require several invasive surgeries throughout childhood. The absence of materials with growth and remodelling potential is a limitation of currently used prosthetics in cardiovascular surgery, as well as their susceptibility to calcification. The field of tissue engineering has emerged as a regenerative medicine approach aiming to develop durable scaffolds possessing the ability to grow and remodel upon implantation into the defective hearts of babies and children with CHD. Though tissue engineering has produced several synthetic scaffolds, most of them failed to be successfully translated in this life-endangering clinical scenario, and currently, biological scaffolds are the most extensively used. This review aims to thoroughly summarise the existing biological scaffolds for the treatment of paediatric CHD, categorised as homografts and xenografts, and present the preclinical and clinical studies. Fixation as well as techniques of decellularisation will be reported, highlighting the importance of these approaches for the successful implantation of biological scaffolds that avoid prosthetic rejection. Additionally, cardiac scaffolds for paediatric CHD can be implanted as acellular prostheses, or recellularised before implantation, and cellularisation techniques will be extensively discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Heart valve disease is a growing burden on the healthcare system. Current solutions are insufficient for young patients and do not offer relief from reintervention. Tissue engineered heart valves (TEHVs) offer a solution that grows and responds to the native environment in a similar way to a healthy valve. Stem cells hold potential to populate these valves as a malleable source that can adapt to environmental cues. AREAS COVERED This review covers current methods of recapitulating features of native heart valves with tissue engineering through use of stem cell populations with in situ and in vitro methods. EXPERT OPINION In the field of TEHVs, we see a variety of approaches in cell source, biomaterial, and maturation methods. Choosing appropriate cell populations may be very patient specific; consistency and predictability will be key to long-term success. In situ methods are closer to translation but struggle with consistent cellularization. In vitro culture requires specialized methods but may recapitulate native valve cell populations with higher fidelity. Understanding how cell populations react to valve conditions and immune response is vital for success. Detrimental valve pathologies have proven to be difficult to avoid in early translation attempts.

Abstract
Cartilage defects caused by mechanical tear and wear are challenging clinical problems. Articular cartilage has unique load-bearing properties and limited self-repair ability. The current treatment methods, such as microfractures and autogenous cartilage transplantation to repair full-thickness cartilage defects, have apparent limitations. Tissue engineering technology has the potential to repair cartilage defects and directs current research development. To enhance the regenerative capacities of cartilage in weight-bearing areas, we attempted to develop a biomimetic scaffold loaded with a chondroprotective factor that can recreate structure, restore mechanical properties, and facilitate anabolic metabolism in larger joint defects. For enhanced spatial control over both bone and cartilage layers, it is envisioned that biomaterials that meet the needs of both tissue components are required for successful osteochondral repair. We used gelatin methacrylate (GELMA) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) light-cured dual-network cross-linking modes that can significantly increase the mechanical properties of scaffolds and are capable of restoring function and prolonging the degradation time. Once the hydrogel complex was injected into the osteochondral defect, in situ UV light curing was applied to seamlessly connect the defect repair tissue with the surrounding normal cartilage tissue. The small molecule active substance kartogenin (KGN) can promote cartilage repair. We encapsulated KGN in biomimetic scaffolds so that, as the scaffold degrades, scaffold-loaded KGN was slowly released to induce endogenous mesenchymal stem cells to home and differentiate into chondrocytes to repair defective cartilage tissue. Our experiments have proven that, compared with the control group, GELMA/PEGDA + KGN repaired cartilage defects and restored cartilage to hyaline cartilage. Our study suggests that implementing photosensitive, injectable, interpenetrating, and kartogenin-modified GELMA/PEDGA biomimetic scaffolds may be a novel approach to restore cartilage integrity in full-thickness osteochondral defects.

Abstract
Currently, stem cell transplantations in cardiac repair are limited owing to disadvantages, such as immunological rejection and poor cell viability. Although direct injection of exosomes can have a curative effect similar to that of stem cell transplantation, high clearance hinders its application in clinical practice. Previous reports suggested that induction of coronary collateralization can be a desired method of adjunctive therapy for someone who had missed the optimal operation time to attenuate myocardial ischemia. In this study, to mimic the paracrine and biological activity of stem cells, we developed artificial stem cells that can continuously release Tβ4-exosomes (Tβ4-ASCs) by encapsulating specific exosomes within microspheres using microfluidics technology. The results show that Tβ4-ASCs can greatly promote coronary collateralization in the periphery of the myocardial infarcted area, and its therapeutic effect is superior to that of directly injecting the exosomes. In addition, to better understand how it works, we demonstrated that the Tβ4-ASC-derived exosomes can enhance the angiogenic capacity of coronary endothelial cells (CAECs) via the miR-17-5p/PHD3/Hif-1α pathway. In brief, as artificial stem cells, Tβ4-ASCs can constantly release functional exosomes and stimulate the formation of collateral circulation after myocardial infarction, providing a feasible and alternative method for clinical revascularization. Inspired by the paracrine of stem cells, we fabricated artificial stem cells (Tβ4-ASCs) by loading engineered Tβ4-exosomes with microspheres using microfluidics technology. Tβ4-ASCs stimulate the formation of coronary collateralization in myocardial infarcted area through a slowly sustained release of engineered Tβ4-exosomes. Tβ4-ASCs improve coronary collateralization via the miR-17-5p/PHD3/Hif-1α signaling pathway.

Abstract
Heterogeneous spheroids that mimic the complex three-dimensional environment of natural tissues are needed in various biomedical applications. Geometric cues from cellular matrix play invaluable roles in governing cell behavior and phenotype. However, the structural complexity of interior morphologies of spheroids is currently limited due to poor spatial resolution of positioning/orientation of cellular constructs. Here, a coaxial capillary microfluidic device is developed to generate gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) microspheres with tunable dimensions and interior morphologies, such as core-shell, or microspheres with interior undulated wavy, or spiral canals, by manipulating the two-phase flow of hydrogel precursor solution and methylcellulose solution. The formation of diverse and exquisite interior morphologies is caused by the interacting viscous instabilities of the two-phase flow in the microfluidic system, followed by water-in-oil emulsion and photo-initiated polymerization. Polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) is incorporated into the GelMA solution to tune the mechanical properties of the fabricated microspheres, and an optimized concentration of PEGDA is confirmed by evaluating the in vitro proliferation and vascularization of human umbilical endothelial cells. Further, a heterogeneous spheroid with spiral blood vessel lumen is constructed to demonstrate the versatility and potential of the proposed droplet-based microfluidic approach for building functional tissue constructs.

Abstract
Autophagy is a self-degradative pathway by which subcellular elements are broken down intracellularly to maintain cellular homeostasis. Cardiac autophagy commonly decreases with aging and is accompanied by the accumulation of misfolded proteins and dysfunctional organelles, which are undesirable to the cell. Reduction of autophagy over time leads to aging-related cardiac dysfunction and is inversely related to longevity. However, despite the increasing interest in autophagy in cardiac diseases and aging, the process remains an undervalued and disregarded object in calcific valvular disease. Neither the nature through which autophagy is triggered nor the interplay between autophagic machinery and targeted molecules during aortic valve calcification are fully understood. Recently, the upregulation of autophagy has been shown to result in cardioprotective effects against cell death as well as its origin. Here, we review the evidence that shows how autophagy can be both beneficial and detrimental as it pertains to aortic valve calcification in the heart.

Abstract
Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS), an emerging promising thermosetting polymer synthesized from sebacic acid and glycerol, has attracted considerable attention due to its elasticity, biocompatibility, and tunable biodegradation properties. But it also has some drawbacks such as harsh synthesis conditions, rapid degradation rates, and low stiffness. To overcome these challenges and optimize PGS performance, various modification methods and fabrication techniques for PGS-based scaffolds have been developed in recent years. Outlining the current modification approaches of PGS and summarizing the fabrication techniques for PGS-based scaffolds are of great importance to accelerate the development of new materials and enable them to be appropriately used in potential applications. Thus, this review comprehensively overviews PGS derivatives, PGS composites, PGS blends, processing for PGS-based scaffolds, and their related applications. It is envisioned that this review could instruct and inspire the design of the PGS-based materials and facilitate tissue engineering advances into clinical practice.

Abstract
Mechanobiological-based control of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to facilitate engineering and regeneration of load-bearing tissues requires systematic investigations of specific dynamic mechanical stimulation protocols. Using deformable membrane microdevice arrays paired with combinatorial experimental design and modeling, we probed the individual and integrative effects of mechanical stimulation parameters (strain magnitude, rate at which strain is changed, and duty period) on myofibrogenesis and matrix production of MSCs in three-dimensional hydrogels. These functions were found to be dominantly influenced by a previously unidentified, higher-order interactive effect between strain magnitude and duty period. Empirical models based on our combinatorial cue-response data predicted an optimal loading regime in which strain magnitude and duty period were increased synchronously over time, which was validated to most effectively promote MSC matrix production. These findings inform the design of loading regimes for MSC-based engineered tissues and validate a broadly applicable approach to probe multifactorial regulating effects of mechanobiological cues.

Abstract
Research in cell biology greatly relies on cell-based in vitro assays and models that facilitate the investigation and understanding of specific biological events and processes under different conditions. The quality of such experimental models and particularly the level at which they represent cell behavior in the native tissue, is of critical importance for our understanding of cell interactions within tissues and organs. Conventionally, in vitro models are based on experimental manipulation of mammalian cells, grown as monolayers on flat, two-dimensional (2D) substrates. Despite the amazing progress and discoveries achieved with flat biology models, our ability to translate biological insights has been limited, since the 2D environment does not reflect the physiological behavior of cells in real tissues. Advances in 3D cell biology and engineering have led to the development of a new generation of cell culture formats that can better recapitulate the in vivo microenvironment, allowing us to examine cells and their interactions in a more biomimetic context. Modern biomedical research has at its disposal novel technological approaches that promote development of more sophisticated and robust tissue engineering in vitro models, including scaffold- or hydrogel-based formats, organotypic cultures, and organs-on-chips. Even though such systems are necessarily simplified to capture a particular range of physiology, their ability to model specific processes of human biology is greatly valued for their potential to close the gap between conventional animal studies and human (patho-) physiology. Here, we review recent advances in 3D biomimetic cultures, focusing on the technological bricks available to develop more physiologically relevant in vitro models of human tissues. By highlighting applications and examples of several physiological and disease models, we identify the limitations and challenges which the field needs to address in order to more effectively incorporate synthetic biomimetic culture platforms into biomedical research.

Abstract
Articular cartilage injury is a common disease in the field of orthopedics. Because cartilage has poor self-repairing ability, medical intervention is needed. Using melt electro-writing (MEW) technology, tissue engineering scaffolds with high porosity and high precision can be prepared. However, ordinary materials, especially natural polymer materials, are difficult to print. In this study, gelatin was mixed with poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) to prepare high-concentration and high-viscosity printer ink, which had good printability and formability. A composite scaffold with full-layer TGF-β1 loading mixed with hydroxyapatite was prepared, and the scaffold was implanted at the cartilage injury site; microfracture surgery was conducted to induce the mesenchyme in the bone marrow. Quality stem cells thereby promoted the repair of damaged cartilage. In summary, this study developed a novel printing method, explored the molding conditions based on MEW printing ink, and constructed a bioactive cartilage repair scaffold. The scaffold can use autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and induce their differentiation to promote cartilage repair.
