Abstract
Hydrogel, as a unique scaffold material, features a three-dimensional network system that provides conducive conditions for the growth of cells and tissues in bone tissue engineering (BTE). In recent years, it has been discovered that metal ion-containing hybridized hydrogels, synthesized with metal particles as the foundation, exhibit excellent physicochemical properties, osteoinductivity, and osteogenic potential. They offer a wide range of research prospects in the field of BTE. This review provides an overview of the current state and recent advancements in research concerning metal ion-containing hydrogels in the field of BTE. Within materials science, it covers topics such as the binding mechanisms of metal ions within hydrogel networks, the types and fabrication methods of various metal ion-containing hydrogels, and the influence of metal ions on the properties of hydrogels. In the context of BTE, the review delves into the osteogenic mechanisms of various metal ions, the applications of metal ion-containing hydrogels in BTE, and relevant experimental studies in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, future improvements in bone repair can be anticipated through advancements in bone bionics, exploring interactions between metal ions and the development of a wider range of metal ions and hydrogel types.

[PMID: 37693886 PMCID: PMC10488770 DOI: 10.2147/ijn.s418465] [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: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 09/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Dentin caries remains a significant public concern, with no clinically viable material that effectively combines remineralization and antimicrobial properties. To address this issue, this study focused on the development of a bio-inspired multifunctional nanogel with both antibacterial and biomineralization properties. Methods First, p(NIPAm-co-DMC) (PNPDC) copolymers were synthesized from N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAm) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC). Subsequently, PNPDC was combined with γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) through physical cross-linking to form nanogels. These nanogels served as templates for the mineralization of calcium phosphate (Cap), resulting in Cap-loaded PNPDC/PGA nanogels. The nanogels were characterized using various techniques, including TEM, particle tracking analysis, XRD, and FTIR. The release properties of ions were also assessed. In addition, the antibacterial properties of the Cap-loaded PNPDC/PGA nanogels were evaluated using the broth microdilution method and a biofilm formation assay. The remineralization effects were examined on both demineralized dentin and type I collagen in vitro. Results PNPDC/PGA nanogels were successfully synthesized and loaded with Cap. The diameter of the Cap-loaded PNPDC/PGA nanogels was measured as 196.5 nm at 25°C and 162.3 nm at 37°C. These Cap-loaded nanogels released Ca2+ and PO43- ions quickly, effectively blocking dental tubules with a depth of 10 μm and promoting the remineralization of demineralized dentin within 7 days. Additionally, they facilitated the heavy intrafibrillar mineralization of type I collagen within 3 days. Moreover, the Cap-loaded nanogels exhibited MIC50 and MIC90 values of 12.5 and 50 mg/mL against Streptococcus mutans, respectively, with an MBC value of 100 mg/mL. At a concentration of 50 mg/mL, the Cap-loaded nanogels also demonstrated potent inhibitory effects on biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans while maintaining good biocompatibility. Conclusion Cap-loaded PNPDC/PGA nanogels are a multifunctional biomimetic system with antibacterial and dentin remineralization effects. This strategy of using antibacterial nanogels as mineral feedstock carriers offered fresh insight into the clinical management of caries.

Abstract
This study aimed to prepare a novel organic-mineral nanofiber/hydrogel of chitosan-polyethylene oxide (CS-PEO)/nanoclay-alginate (NC-ALG). The effects of NC particles on the mineralization and biocompatibility of the scaffold were investigated. A layer-by-layer scaffold composed of CS-PEO and NC-ALG was prepared. The morphological properties, swelling, biodegradation, and mechanical behaviors of the scaffolds were evaluated. Furthermore, scaffolds were characterized by the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), the Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) techniques. Bone-like apatite formation ability of the scaffolds was determined by the mineralization test in a simulated body fluid (M-SBF). In addition, the crystalline phase of bone-like apatite precipitates was investigated by XRD analysis. The cell compatibility of the scaffolds was also studied with osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 by MTT assay. Notably, the incorporation of NC particles in CS-PEO/ALG scaffolds is suitable for bone tissue regeneration which enhances bone-like apatite formation. Further, the hemolysis and MTT assays demonstrated that CS-PEO/NC-ALG scaffold was compatible and safe for MC3T3 cells.

Abstract
Chitin, a fascinating biopolymer found in living organisms, fulfills current demands of availability, sustainability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, functionality, and renewability. A feature of chitin is its ability to structure into hierarchical assemblies, spanning the nano- and macroscales, imparting toughness and resistance (chemical, biological, among others) to multicomponent materials as well as adding adaptability, tunability, and versatility. Retaining the inherent structural characteristics of chitin and its colloidal features in dispersed media has been central to its use, considering it as a building block for the construction of emerging materials. Top-down chitin designs have been reported and differentiate from the traditional molecular-level, bottom-up synthesis and assembly for material development. Such topics are the focus of this Review, which also covers the origins and biological characteristics of chitin and their influence on the morphological and physical-chemical properties. We discuss recent achievements in the isolation, deconstruction, and fractionation of chitin nanostructures of varying axial aspects (nanofibrils and nanorods) along with methods for their modification and assembly into functional materials. We highlight the role of nanochitin in its native architecture and as a component of materials subjected to multiscale interactions, leading to highly dynamic and functional structures. We introduce the most recent advances in the applications of nanochitin-derived materials and industrialization efforts, following green manufacturing principles. Finally, we offer a critical perspective about the adoption of nanochitin in the context of advanced, sustainable materials.

Abstract
In this study, we applied a luciferase-fragment complementation assay for chitin detection. When luciferase-fragment fused chitin-binding proteins were mixed with chitin, the reconstituted luciferase became active. The recombinant chitin-binding domain (CBD) and a functionally modified catalytic domain (CatD) of human chitotriosidase were employed for this method. We designed the CatD mutant as a chitin-binding protein with diminished chitinolytic activity. The non-wash assay using the CatD mutant had higher sensitivity than CBD for chitin detection and proved to be a structure-specific biosensor for chitin, including crude biomolecules (from fungi, mites, and cockroaches). The CatD mutant recognized a chitin-tetramer as the minimal binding unit and bound chitin at KD 99 nM. Furthermore, a sandwich ELISA using modified CatD showed a low limit of quantification for soluble chitin (13.6 pg/mL). Altogether, our work shows a reliable method for chitin detection using the potential capabilities of CatD.

Abstract
Polymer nanofibers have exceptionally high surface area. This is advantageous compared to bulk polymeric structures, as nanofibrils increase the area over which materials can be transported into and out of a system, via diffusion and active transport. On the other hand, since hydrogels possess a degree of flexibility very similar to natural tissue, due to their significant water content, hydrogels made from natural or biodegradable macromolecular systems can even be injectable into the human body. Due to unique interactions with water, hydrogel transport properties can be easily modified and tailored. As a result, combining nanofibers with hydrogels would truly advance biomedical applications of hydrogels, particularly in the area of sustained drug delivery. In fact, certain nanofiber networks can be transformed into hydrogels directly without the need for a hydrogel enclosure. This review discusses recent advances in the fabrication and application of biomedical nanofiber hydrogels with a strong emphasis on drug release. Most of the drug release studies and recent advances have so far focused on self-gelling nanofiber systems made from peptides or other natural proteins loaded with cancer drugs. Secondly, polysaccharide nanofiber hydrogels are being investigated, and thirdly, electrospun biodegradable polymer networks embedded in polysaccharide-based hydrogels are becoming increasingly popular. This review shows that a major outcome from these works is that nanofiber hydrogels can maintain drug release rates exceeding a few days, even extending into months, which is an extremely difficult task to achieve without the nanofiber texture. This review also demonstrates that some publications still lack careful rheological studies on nanofiber hydrogels; however, rheological properties of hydrogels can influence cell function, mechano-transduction, and cellular interactions such as growth, migration, adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and morphology. Nanofiber hydrogel rheology becomes even more critical for 3D or 4D printable systems that should maintain sustained drug delivery rates.

Abstract
Mesoscaled assemblies are organized in native collagen tissues to achieve remarkable and diverse performance and functions. In this work, a facile, low-cost, and controllable liquid exfoliation method was applied to directly extract these collagen mesostructures from bovine Achilles tendons using a sodium hydroxide (NaOH)/urea aqueous system with freeze-thaw cycles and sonication. A series of collagen fibrils with diameters of 26-230 nm were harvested using this process, and in situ observations under polarizing microscopy (POM) and using molecular dynamics simulations revealed the influence of the NaOH/urea system on the tendon collagen. FTIR and XRD results confirmed that these collagen fibrils preserved typical structural characteristics of type I collagen. These isolated collagen fibrils were then utilized as building blocks to fabricate free-standing collagen membranes, which exhibited good stability in solvents and outstanding mechanical properties and transparency, with potential for utility in optical and electronic sensors. Moreover, in vitro and vivo evaluations demonstrated that these new resulting collagen membranes had good cytocompatibility, biocompatibility, and degradability for potential applications in biomedicine. This work provides a new approach for collagen processing by liquid exfoliation with utility for the formation of robust collagen materials that consist of native collagen mesostructures as building blocks.

Abstract
Partially deacetylated chitin nanofibers (ChNF) were isolated from shell residues derived from crab biomass and used to prepare hydrogels, which were easily transformed into continuous microfibers by wet-spinning. We investigated the effect of ChNF solid content, extrusion rate and coagulant type, which included organic (acetone) and alkaline (NaOH and ammonia) solutions, on wet spinning. The properties of the microfibers and associated phenomena were assessed by tensile strength, quartz crystal microgravimetry, dynamic vapor sorption (DVS), thermogravimetric analysis and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The as-spun microfibers (14 GPa stiffness) comprised hierarchical structures with fibrils aligned in the lateral direction. The microfibers exhibited a remarkable water sorption capacity (up to 22 g g-1), while being stable in the wet state (50% of dry strength), which warrants consideration as biobased absorbent systems. In addition, according to cell proliferation and viability of rat cardiac myoblast H9c2 and mouse bone osteoblast K7M2, the wet-spun ChNF microfibers showed excellent results and can be considered as fully safe for biomedical uses, such as in sutures, wound healing patches and cell culturing.

Abstract
Chitin, a polysaccharide that occurs abundantly in nature after cellulose, has attracted the interest of the scientific community due to its plenty of availability and low cost. Mostly, it is derived from the exoskeleton of insects and marine crustaceans. Often, it is insoluble in common solvents that limit its applications but its deacetylated product, named chitosan is found to be soluble in protonated aqueous medium and used widely in various biomedical fields. Indeed, the existence of the primary amino group on the backbone of chitosan provides it an important feature to modify it chemically into other derivatives easily. In the present review, we present the structural properties of chitin, and its derivatives and highlighted their biomedical implications including, tissue engineering, drug delivery, diagnosis, molecular imaging, antimicrobial activity, and wound healing. We further discussed the limitations and prospects of this versatile natural polysaccharide.

Abstract
Disposal of chitin wastes from crustacean shell can cause environmental and health hazards. Chitin is a well known abundant natural polymer extracted after deproteinization and demineralization of the shell wastes of shrimp, crab, lobster, and krill. Extraction of chitin and its derivatives from waste material is one of the alternative ways to turn the waste into useful products. Chitinases are enzymes that degrade chitin. Chitinases contribute to the generation of carbon and nitrogen in the ecosystem. Chitin and chitinolytic enzymes are gaining importance for their biotechnological applications. The presence of surface charge and multiple functional groups make chitin as a beneficial natural polymer. Due to the reactive functional groups chitin can be used for the preparation of a spectrum of chitin derivatives such as chitosan, alkyl chitin, sulfated chitin, dibutyryl chitin and carboxymethyl chitin for specific applications in different areas. The present review is aimed to summarize the efficacy of the chitinases on the chitin and its derivatives and their diverse applications in biomedical and environmental field. Further this review also discusses the synthesis of various chitin derivatives in detail and brings out the importance of chitin and its derivatives in biomedical and environmental applications.

Abstract
Promoting bone regeneration and repairing defects are urgent and critical challenges in orthopedic clinical practice. Research on bone substitute biomaterials is essential for improving the treatment strategies for bone regeneration. Chitin and its derivative, chitosan, are among the most abundant natural biomaterials and widely found in the shells of crustaceans. Chitin and chitosan are non-toxic, antibacterial, biocompatible, degradable, and have attracted significant attention in bone substitute biomaterials. Chitin/chitosan nanofibers and nanostructured scaffolds have large surface area to volume ratios and high porosities. These scaffolds can be fabricated by electrospinning, thermally induced phase separation and self-assembly, and are widely used in biomedical applications such as biological scaffolds, drug delivery, bacterial inhibition, and wound dressing. Recently, some chitin/chitosan-based nanofibrous scaffolds have been found structurally similar to bone's extracellular matrix and can assist in bone regeneration. This review outlines the biomedical applications and biological properties of chitin/chitosan-based nanofibrous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Surface modification by non-thermal atmospheric plasma (NTAP) treatment can produce significantly higher carboxylic groups on the nanofibers (NF) surface, which potentially can increase biomineralization of NF via promoting glutamic acid (GLU) templated peptide conjugation. Herein, electrospun poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffolds were treated with NTAP and conjugated with GLU peptide followed by incubation in simulated body fluids for mineralization. The effect of NTAP treatment and GLU peptide conjugation on mineralization, surface wettability and roughness were investigated. The results showed that NTAP treatment significantly increased GLU peptide conjugation which consequently enhanced mineralization and mechanical properties of NTAP treated and peptide conjugated NF (GLU-pNF) compared to neat PLGA NF, NTAP treated NF (pNF) and GLU peptide conjugated NF (GLU-NF). The effect of surface modification on human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells adhesion, proliferation and morphology was evaluated by cell proliferation assay and fluorescent microscopy. Results demonstrated that cellular adhesion and proliferation were significantly higher on GLU-pNF compared to NF, pNF and GLU-NF. In summary, NTAP treatment could be a promising modification technique to induce biomimetic peptide conjugation and biomineralization for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) stabilized by acidic macromolecules is a useful material for the development of environmentally friendly composites. In this study, we synthesized transparent and mechanically tough ACC-based composite materials by the incorporation of water-dispersible cellulose derivatives, namely, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and surface-modified crystalline cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). A solution mixing method used in the present work proved to be a powerful and efficient method for the production of mechanically tough and environmentally friendly materials. Molecular-scale interactions between carboxyl groups and Ca2+ ions induce homogeneous dispersion of CNFs in the composites, and this gives composite films with high transparency and high mechanical properties. The composite films of CMC, CNFs, and ACC at the mixture ratios of 40, 40, and 20 wt %, showed high mechanical properties of 15.8 ± 0.93 GPa for the Young's modulus and 268 ± 20 MPa for the tensile strength. These designed materials that are based on ACC may open up new opportunities in many fields in applications that require the use of environmentally friendly, biodegradable, mechanically tough, and transparent composite materials.

Abstract
Biopolymer nanofibrils exhibit exceptional mechanical properties with a unique combination of strength and toughness, while also presenting biological functions that interact with the surrounding environment. These features of biopolymer nanofibrils profit from their hierarchical structures that spun angstrom to hundreds of nanometer scales. To maintain these unique structural features and to directly utilize these natural supramolecular assemblies, a variety of new methods have been developed to produce biopolymer nanofibrils. In particular, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), chitin nanofibrils (ChNFs), silk nanofibrils (SNFs) and collagen nanofibrils (CoNFs), as the four most abundant biopolymer nanofibrils on earth, have been the focus of research in recent years due to their renewable features, wide availability, low-cost, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. A series of top-down and bottom-up strategies have been accessed to exfoliate and regenerate these nanofibrils for versatile advanced applications. In this review, we first summarize the structures of biopolymer nanofibrils in nature and outline their related computational models with the aim of disclosing fundamental structure-property relationships in biological materials. Then, we discuss the underlying methods used for the preparation of CNFs, ChNFs, SNF and CoNFs, and discuss emerging applications for these biopolymer nanofibrils.

Abstract
Dynamic viscoelasticities were measured for chitin nanofiber (ChNF) dispersions prepared with various concentrations, disintegration times, acidities, and crystalline structures. The 0.05w/v% dispersions of pH neutral ChNFs continuously exhibited elastic behavior. The 0.05w/v% dispersions of acidified ChNFs, on the other hand, transitioned from a colloidal dispersion to a critical gel and then exhibited elastic behavior with increasing ChNF concentration. A double-logarithmic chart of the concentration vs. the storage modulus was prepared and indicated the fractal dimension and the nanostructure in the dispersion. The results determined that the neutral α- and β-ChNFs were dispersed but showed some remaining aggregations and that the acidified β-ChNFs were completely individualized. In addition, the α-chitin steadily disintegrated with increasing disintegration time, and the aspect ratio of the β-chitin decreased as a result of the exscessive disintegration. The storage moduli of the ChNFs were greater than those of chitin solutions, nanorods, and nanowhiskers with the same solids concentrations.

Abstract
Biodegradable, stimuli-responsive polymers are essential platforms in the field of drug delivery and injectable biomaterials for application of bone tissue engineering. Various thermo-responsive hydrogels display water-based homogenous properties to encapsulate, manipulate and transfer its contents to the surrounding tissue, in the least invasive manner. The success of bioengineered injectable tissue modified delivery systems depends significantly on their chemical, physical and biological properties. Irrespective of shape and defect geometry, injectable therapy has an unparalleled advantage in which intricate therapy sites can be effortlessly targeted with minimally invasive procedures. Using material testing, it was found that properties of stimuli-responsive hydrogel systems enhance cellular responses and cell distribution at any site prior to the transitional phase leading to gelation. The substantially hydrated nature allows significant simulation of the extracellular matrix (ECM), due to its similar structural properties. Significant current research strategies have been identified and reported to date by various institutions, with particular attention to thermo-responsive hydrogel delivery systems, and their pertinent focus for bone tissue engineering. Research on future perspective studies which have been proposed for evaluation, have also been reported in this review, directing considerable attention to the modification of delivering natural and synthetic polymers, to improve their biocompatibility and mechanical properties.
