Abstract
Natural polymeric nanobiocomposites hold promise in repairing damaged bone tissue in tissue engineering. These materials create an extracellular matrix (ECM)-like microenvironment that induces stem cell differentiation. In this study, we investigated a new cytocompatible nanobiocomposite made from cotton cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) combined with chitosan polymer to induce osteogenic stem cell differentiation. First, we characterized the chemical composition, nanotopography, swelling properties, and mechanical properties of the cotton CNF/chitosan nanobiocomposite scaffold. Then, we examined the biological characteristics of the nanocomposites to evaluate their cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation potential using human mesenchymal stem cells derived from exfoliated deciduous teeth. The results showed that the nanobiocomposite exhibited favorable cytocompatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation of cells without the need for chemical inducers, as demonstrated by the increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and ECM mineralization. Therefore, the cotton CNF/chitosan nanobiocomposite scaffold holds great promise for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Natural bone constitutes a complex and organized structure of organic and inorganic components with limited ability to regenerate and restore injured tissues, especially in large bone defects. To improve the reconstruction of the damaged bones, tissue engineering has been introduced as a promising alternative approach to the conventional therapeutic methods including surgical interventions using allograft and autograft implants. Bioengineered composite scaffolds consisting of multifunctional biomaterials in combination with the cells and bioactive therapeutic agents have great promise for bone repair and regeneration. Cellulose and its derivatives are renewable and biodegradable natural polymers that have shown promising potential in bone tissue engineering applications. Cellulose-based scaffolds possess numerous advantages attributed to their excellent properties of non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, availability through renewable resources, and the low cost of preparation and processing. Furthermore, cellulose and its derivatives have been extensively used for delivering growth factors and antibiotics directly to the site of the impaired bone tissue to promote tissue repair. This review focuses on the various classifications of cellulose-based composite scaffolds utilized in localized bone drug delivery systems and bone regeneration, including cellulose-organic composites, cellulose-inorganic composites, cellulose-organic/inorganic composites. We will also highlight the physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of the different cellulose-based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications. Cellulose and its derivatives are renewable and biodegradable natural polymers that with great potential for bone tissue engineering. Cellulose-based materials can be used various therapeutics directly to the bone to achieve bone regeneration. Bioinks made of cellulose-based materials hold great promise to develop patient specific solutions for bone repair using 3D printing. Challenges associated with inaccuracies in existing preclinical models, sterilization regulatory barriers still need to be addressed before clinical translation.

Abstract
Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) are natural polymers with physical-chemical properties that make them very attractive for modulating stem cell differentiation, a crucial step in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Although cellulose is cytocompatible, when materials are in nanoscale, they become more reactive, needing to evaluate its potential toxic effect to ensure safe application. This study aimed to investigate the cytocompatibility of cotton CNF and its differentiation capacity induction on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth. First, the cotton CNF was characterized. Then, the cytocompatibility and the osteogenic differentiation induced by cotton CNF were examined. The results revealed that cotton CNFs have about 6-18 nm diameters, and the zeta potential was -10 mV. Despite gene expression alteration, the cotton CNF shows good cytocompatibility. The cotton CNF induced an increase in phosphatase alkaline activity and extracellular matrix mineralization. The results indicate that cotton CNF has good cytocompatibility and can promote cell differentiation without using chemical inducers, showing great potential as a new differentiation inductor for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
The foremost common natural polymers are carbohydrate-based polymers or polysaccharides, having a long chain of monosaccharide or disaccharide units linked together via a glycosidic linkage to form a complex structure. There are several uses of carbohydrate-based polymers in biomedical sector due to its attractive features including less toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, high reactivity, availability, and relatively inexpensive. The aim of our study was to explore the synthetic approaches for the preparation of numerous carbohydrate-based polyurethanes (PUs) and their wide range of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. The data summarized in this study shows that the addition of carbohydrates in the structural skeleton of PUs not only improve their suitability but also effect the applicability for employing them in biological applications. Carbohydrate-based units are incorporated into the PUs, which is the most convenient method for the synthesis of novel biocompatible and biodegradable carbohydrate-based PUs to use in various biomedical applications.

Abstract
Highly pure cellulosic polymers obtained from waste lignocellulose offer great potential for designing novel materials in the concept of biorefinery. In this work, alpha-cellulose and nanocrystalline cellulose were isolated from the date palm trunk mesh (DPTM) through a series of physicochemical treatments. Supercritical carbon dioxide treatment was used to remove soluble extractives, and concentrated alkali pretreatment was used to eliminate the lignin portion selectively to obtain alpha-cellulose in approximately 94% yield. Further treatments of this cellulose yielded nanocrystalline cellulose. The structure–property relationship studies were carried out by characterizing the obtained polymers by various standard methods and analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX-XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Almost 65% yield of pure cellulose was achieved, out of which 94% is the alpha-cellulose. This cellulose shows good thermal stability and crystallinity. The microscopic analysis of the nanocellulose showed a heterogeneous mix of irregular-shaped particles with a size range of 20–60 nm. The percentage crystallinity of alpha-cellulose and nanocellulose was found to be 68.9 and 71.8, respectively. Thus, this study shows that, this DPTM-based low-cost waste biomass can be a potential source to obtain cellulose and nano-cellulose.

Abstract
Employing hydrogels as an alternative strategy for repairing bone defects has received great attention in bone tissue engineering. In this study, hydrogel scaffold based on collagen, gelatin, and glutaraldehyde was combined with bioactive glass nanowhiskers (BGnW) to differentiate human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) into the osteogenic lineage and inducing biomineralization. Pure Gel-Glu-Col and bioactive glass nanowhiskers were used as control throughout the paper. Chemical, physical and morphological characteristics of the nanocomposite scaffold were assessed meticulously using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), porosity measurement, water uptake ability, tensile test, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To determine the cytotoxicity and cell viability of the hydrogel, MTT assay and Acridine orange (AO) staining were performed. hMSCs seeded on Gel-Glu-Col/BGnW were then incubated with osteogenic differentiation media for 14 days. Biomineralization assays (alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, calcium content assay, von Kossa, and Alizarin red staining) were carried out, and osteogenic genes and protein markers were examined using real time-PCR and immunocytochemistry. Results showed that the components of the hydrogel were properly integrated. The mechanical property of hydrogel was enhanced following the addition of BGnW. Cell viability assays confirmed the biocompatibility of the scaffold and increasing the proliferation after incorporating BGnW into pure Ge1-Glu-Col. Our nanocomposite maintained an enhanced ability of biomineralization as compared to its pure counterparts. Molecular investigations revealed an elevated level of osteogenic markers as compared to Ge1-Glu-Col and BGnW. All in all, Gel-Glu-Col/BGnW seems to be a potential candidate for the regeneration of bone tissue.

Abstract
Recently, antibiotic resistance of pathogens has grown given the excessive and inappropriate usage of common antimicrobial agents. Hence, producing novel antimicrobial compounds is a necessity. Carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) such as carbon nanotubes, graphene/graphene oxide, and fullerenes, as an emerging class of novel materials, can exhibit a considerable antimicrobial activity, especially in the nanocomposite forms suitable for different fields including biomedical and food applications. These nanomaterials have attracted a great deal of interest due to their broad efficiency and novel features. The most important factor affecting the antimicrobial activity of CNMs is their size. Smaller particles with a higher surface to volume ratio can easily attach onto the microbial cells and affect their cell membrane integrity, metabolic procedures, and structural components. As these unique characteristics are found in CNMs, a wide range of possibilities have raised in terms of antimicrobial applications. This study aims to cover the antimicrobial activities of CNMs (both as individual forms and in nanocomposites) and comprehensively explain their mechanisms of action. The results of this review will present a broad perspective, summarizes the most remarkable findings, and provides an outlook regarding the antimicrobial properties of CNMs and their potential applications.

Abstract
Cartilage is a semi-solid resilient and smooth elastic connective tissue and upon damage, its repair is almost impossible or occurs with a very slow recovery process. Polycaprolactone (PCL), used as a biocompatible polymer, withholds all required mechanical properties, except suitable cell adhesion due to its hydrophobicity. In order to resolve this issue, we sought to introduce appropriate semi-IPNs into the system to regain its hydrophilicity base on increasing of the hydrophilic polymer. PCL and Cellulose nanowhiskers (CNWs) were entrapped in a network of poly (acrylic acid) that had been crosslinked via a novel acrylic-urethane crosslinker. The influential synthetic parameters on the preparation of artificial articular cartilages were investigated based on the Taguchi test design. The prepared CNW, acrylic-urethane crosslinker and semi-IPNs were studied via 1H NMR, FTIR, SEM, TEM, TGA, water swelling, water contact angle, tensile, and MTT analyses. According to the results, the optimal amount of monomer was about 46%. Incorporation of an optimized amount of CNW, which was 0.5%, improved the mechanical properties of artificial cartilage. After a 30 h time period, semi-IPNs showed the water absorption of about 30%. MTT on days 1, 3 and 5, as well as cell attachment, confirmed the biocompatibility of the semi-IPNs.

In order to crosslink PHEMA (10 wt%), a novel acrylic-urethane cross-linker was produced by a condensation reaction of PHEMA and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). The PU-PHEMA-CNWs scaffolds were prepared by solvent casting/particulate leaching method in different weight percentages of CNWs (i.e., 0, 0.1, 0.5, and 1 wt%). The structural, mechanical, and in vitro biological properties of bio-nanocomposites were evaluated via FTIR, SEM, tensile, and MTT assay. The tensile strength of PU-PHEMA-0, PU-PHEMA-0.1, PU-PHEMA-0.5, and PU-PHEMA-1 were 76.2, 95.8, 98.1, and 89.8 kPa, respectively. Incorporation of CNWs also resulted in improved cell proliferation on PU-PHEMA-CNWs scaffolds. The bone marrow derived human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were seeded on the prepared porous scaffolds and incubated in osteogenic medium. Based on the results including calcium content assay, alkaline phosphatase assay, and mineralization staining, PU-PHEMA-CNW scaffolds were introduced as a suitable election for imitating the behavior of cellular niche. Bone mineralization and osteogenesis differentiation of hMSCs on PU-PHEMA-CNW scaffolds were significantly more than control after 14 days.

Abstract
The development of micro- and nanofibril cellulose to improve strength while reducing the side effects of toughness and water resistance can benefit integrated polymer performance. Inspired by the interior microstructure of mussel byssus, this paper proposed an efficient means of generating an active block microfibrillated cellulose/polyurethane elastomer using an epoxy monomer as a pre-crosslinked agent with the addition of a poly(dopamine) layer. The block elastomer served as a multifunctional crosslinker, constructing a covalent network and interfacial hydrogen bonding that interlinked the elastomer with a soy protein isolate (SPI) matrix. Compared with the pristine SPI film, the introduction of the block elastomer induced remarkable improvements in tensile strength and toughness (146.7 and 102.1%, respectively). Additionally, the block elastomer was employed to further estimate its reinforcing effect in SPI resin modification, which also exhibited favorable water resistance and adhesion performance. This strategy may provide a new approach for constructing superior elastomers to reinforce applicable biomass composites.
