Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 279:135602. [PMID: 39276891 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.135602] [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: 01/04/2024] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/11/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has gained significant attention as a base material for wound dressings due to its superior physical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxicity. However, to produce wound dressings that actively facilitate wound healing, BC modification is essential. To provide a comprehensive analysis of the potential research developments and the trends in bacterial cellulose-based wound dressings (BCWD), this review focuses on the BCWD research conducted in the last decade. The review highlights the optimization of BC usage as a base material for active wound dressing, including the incorporation of miscellaneous materials and the enhancement of BC properties such as ultra-transparency, anti-leakage, stretchability/flexibility, adhesiveness, conductivity, injectability, pattern, and pH-sensor ability.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiac tissue engineering is suggested as a promising approach to overcome problems associated with impaired myocardium. This is the first study to investigate the use of BC and gelatin for cardiomyocyte adhesion and growth. METHODS Bacterial cellulose (BC) membranes were produced by Komagataeibacter xylinus and coated or mixed with gelatin to make gelatin-coated BC (BCG) or gelatin-mixed BC (mBCG) scaffolds, respectively. BC based-scaffolds were characterized via SEM, FTIR, XRD, and AFM. Neonatal rat-ventricular cardiomyocytes (nr-vCMCs) were cultured on the scaffolds to check the capability of the composites for cardiomyocyte attachment, growth and expansion. RESULTS The average nanofibrils diameter in all scaffolds was suitable (~ 30-65 nm) for nr-vCMCs culture. Pore diameter (≥ 10 µm), surface roughness (~ 182 nm), elastic modulus (0.075 ± 0.015 MPa) in mBCG were in accordance with cardiomyocyte requirements, so that mBCG could better support attachment of nr-vCMCs with high concentration of gelatin, and appropriate surface roughness. Also, it could better support growth and expansion of nr-vCMCs due to submicron scale of nanofibrils and proper elasticity (~ 0.075 MPa). The viability of nr-vCMCs on BC and BCG scaffolds was very low even at day 2 of culture (~ ≤ 40%), but, mBCG could promote a metabolic active state of nr-vCMCs until day 7 (~ ≥ 50%). CONCLUSION According to our results, mBCG scaffold was the most suitable composite for cardiomyocyte culture, regarding its physicochemical and cell characteristics. It is suggested that improvement in mBCG stability and cell attachment features may provide a convenient scaffold for cardiac tissue engineering.

Abstract
Mucogingival surgery has been widely used in soft gingival tissue augmentation in which autografts are predominantly employed. However, the autografts face grand challenges, such as scarcity of palatal donor tissue and postoperative discomfort. Therefore, development of alternative soft tissue substitutes has been an imperative need. Here, we engineered an interconnected porous bovine serum albumin methacryloyl (BSAMA: B, as a drug carrier and antioxidant)/gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA: G, as a biocompatible collagen-like component)-based cryogel with L-Arginine (Arg) loaded as an angiogenic molecule, which could serve as a promising gingival tissue biohybrid scaffold. BG@Arg cryogels featured macroporous architecture, biodegradation, sponge-like properties, suturability, and sustained Arg release. Moreover, BG@Arg cryogels promoted vessel formation and collagen deposition which play an important role in tissue regeneration. Most interestingly, BG@Arg cryogels were found to enhance antioxidant effects. Finally, the therapeutic effect of BG@Arg on promoting tissue regeneration was confirmed in rat full-thickness skin and oral gingival defect models. In vivo results revealed that BG@Arg2 could promote better angiogenesis, more collagen production, and better modulation of inflammation, as compared to a commercial collagen membrane. These advantages might render BG@Arg cryogels a promising alternative to commercial collagen membrane products and possibly autografts for soft gingival tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Abdominal hernia mesh is a common product which is used for prevention of abdominal adhesion and repairing abdominal wall defect. Currently, designing and preparing a novel bio-mesh material with prevention of adhesion, promoting repair and good biocompatibility simultaneously remain a great bottleneck. In this study, a novel siloxane-modified bacterial cellulose (BC) was designed and fabricated by chemical vapor deposition silylation, then the effects of different alkyl chains length of siloxane on surface properties and cell behaviors were explored. The effect of preventing of abdominal adhesion and repairing abdominal wall defect in rats with the siloxane-modified BC was evaluated. As the grafted alkyl chains become longer, the surface of the siloxane-modified BC can be transformed from super hydrophilic to hydrophobic. In vivo results showed that BC-C16 had good long-term anti-adhesion effect, good tissue adaptability and histocompatibility, which is expected to be used as a new anti-adhesion hernia repair material in clinic.

Abstract
Achieving hemostasis in penetrating and irregular wounds is challenging because the hemostasis factor cannot arrive at the bleeding site, and substantial bleeding will wash away the blood clot. Since the inherently gradual nature of blood clot formation takes time, a physical barrier is needed before blood clot formation. Herein, an ultra-light and shape memory hemostatic aerogel consisting of oxidized bacterial cellulose (OBC) and platelet extracellular vesicles (pVEs) is reported. The OBC-pVEs aerogel provides a physical barrier for the bleeding site by self-expansion, absorbing the liquid from blood to concentrate platelets and clotting factors and accelerating the clot formation by activating platelets and transforming fibrinogen into fibrin. In the rat liver and tail injury models, the blood loss decreases by 73% and 59%, and the bleeding times are reduced by 55% and 62%, respectively. OBC-pVEs aerogel has also been shown to accelerate wound healing. In conclusion, this work introduces an effective tool for treating deep, non-compressible, and irregular wounds and offers valuable strategies for trauma bleeding and wound treatment.

Abstract
This study focused on synthesis of innovative hydrogels with electric field response from modified pineapple peel cellulose and hericium erinaceus chitosan and gelatin based on Schiff base reaction. A series of hydrogels were prepared by oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose, gelatin and chitosan at different deacetylation degree via mild Schiff base reaction. Subsequently experiments towards the characterization of oxidized hydroxyethyl cellulose/gelatin/chitosan (OHGCS) hydrogel polymers were carried out by FTIR/XRD/XPS, swelling performances and electric response properties. The prepared hydrogels exhibited stable and reversible bending behaviors under repeated on-off switching of electric fields, affected by ionic strength, electric voltage and pH changes. The swelling ratio of OHGCS hydrogels was found reduced as deacetylation degree increasing and reached the maximum ratio ∼ 2250 % for OHGCS-1. In vitro drug releasing study showed the both curcumin loading capacity and release amount of Cur-OHGCS hydrogels arrived about 90 % during 6 h. Antioxidation assessments showed that the curcumin-loaded hydrogels had good antioxidation activities, in which, 10 mg Cur-OHGCS-1 hydrogel could reach to the maximum of about 90 % DPPH scavenging ratio. These results indicate the OHGCS hydrogels have potentials in sensor and drug delivery system.

Abstract
Infectious chronic wounds have gradually become a major clinical problem due to their high prevalence and poor treatment outcomes. The urgent need for wound dressings with immune modulatory, antibacterial, and angiogenic properties has led to the development of innovative solutions. Asiatic acid (AA), derived from herbs, has demonstrated excellent antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic effects, making it a promising candidate for incorporation into hydrogel carriers for wound healing. However, there is currently no available report on AA-based self-assembled hydrogels. Here, a novel hybrid hydrogel dressing consists of interpenetrating polymer networks composed of self-assembled magnesium ion (Mg2+) coordinated asiatic acid (AA-Mg) and bacterial cellulose (BC) is developed to promote infected chronic wound healing. A natural carrier-free self-assembled AA-Mg hydrogel with good injectable and self-healing properties could maintain the sustained release of AA and Mg2+ over an extended period. Notably, the introduction of Mg2+ boosted some pharmacological effects of self-assembled hydrogels due to its excellent anti-inflammatory and angiogenesis. In vitro studies confirmed the exceptional biocompatibility, antibacterial efficacy, and anti-inflammatory potential of the AA-Mg/BC hybrid hydrogel, which also exhibited a commendable mechanical strength. Furthermore, in vivo biological results displayed that the hybrid hydrogel significantly accelerated the wound healing process by boosting dense and organized collagen deposition and the granulation tissue and benefiting revascularization. The introduced self-assembled AA-Mg-based hydrogel offers a promising solution for the effective management of chronic wounds. This universal strategy for the preparation of self-assembled hydrogels modulated with bioactive divalent metal ions is able to excavate more herbal small molecules to construct new self-assembled biomaterials.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has good network structure, biocompatibility, and excellent mechanical properties, and is widely used in the field of biomaterials. The controllable degradation of BC can further broaden its application. Oxidative modification and cellulases may endow BC with degradability, but these methods inevitably lead to the obvious reduction of its initial mechanical properties and uncontrolled degradation. In this paper, the controllable degradation of BC was realized for the first time by using a new controlled release structure that combines the immobilization and release of cellulase. The immobilized enzyme has higher stability and is gradually released in the simulated physiological environment, and its load can control the hydrolysis rate of BC well. Furthermore, the BC-based membrane prepared by this method retains the favorable physicochemical performance of the original BC, including flexibility and great biocompatibility, and holds good application prospects in drug control release or tissue repair.

Abstract
Bacterial overgrowth in injured wounds causes wound infection and excessive inflammation, leading to delayed wound healing. Successful treatment of delayed infected wound healing demands dressings, which can inhibit bacterial growth and inflammation and simultaneously induce vascularization, collagen deposition, and re-epithelialization of wounds. In this study, bacterial cellulose (BC) deposited with Cu2+-loaded phase-transited lysozyme (PTL) nanofilm (BC/PTL/Cu) was prepared for healing infected wounds. The results confirm that PTL were successfully self-assembled on BC matrix, and Cu2+ were loaded into PTL through electrostatic coordination. The tensile strength and the elongation at break of the membranes were not significantly changed after modification with PTL and Cu2+. Compared with BC, the surface roughness of BC/PTL/Cu significantly increased while the hydrophilicity decreased. Moreover, BC/PTL/Cu displayed slower release rate of Cu2+ compared with BC directly loaded with Cu2+. BC/PTL/Cu exhibited good antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. By controlling copper concentration, BC/PTL/Cu were not cytotoxic to mouse fibroblast cell line L929. In vivo, BC/PTL/Cu accelerated wound healing and promoted re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis while inhibiting inflammation of the infected full-thickness skin wounds of rats. Collectively, these results demonstrate that BC/PTL/Cu composites are promising dressings for healing infected wounds.

Abstract
Crustaceans and fish scales in the marine food industry are basically thrown away as waste. This not only wastes resources but also causes environmental pollution. While reducing pollution and waste, biological activity and storage of materials are urgent issues to be solved. In this study, by first preparing dry fibers and then making hydrogels, we prepared a fish scale/sodium alginate/chitosan nanofiber hydrogel (FS-P) by cross-linking the nanofibers in situ. From fish and other organisms, fish gelatin (FG), collagen and CaCO3 were extracted. Fish scale (FS)/sodium alginate/chitosan nanofibers were cross-linked with copper sulfide nanoparticles prepared by a one-step green method to obtain FS-P nanofiber hydrogels under mild conditions without catalyst and additional procedures. These fiber hydrogels not only have good tissue adhesion and tensile properties, but also have the antibacterial effect of natural antibacterial and CuS photothermal synergism, which can achieve 51.32% and 49.96% of the antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli respectively, avoiding the generation of superbacteria. The nanofiber hydrogels have 87.56% voidage and 52.68% degradability after 14 days. The combined strategy of using marine bio-based fibers to prepare gels promoted angiogenesis and tissue repair.

Abstract
As the food processing by-products, hericium erinaceus residues (HER) and pineapple peel (PP) are good sources of cellulose and chitosan that can be prepared into hydrogels for structuring a drug delivery system. Hydrogel is one new type biomaterial for drug delivery with excellent absorbent ability applied in wound dressing. In this research, one composite self-healing hydrogel with pH sensitivity for drug delivery system based on the Schiff-base reaction was fabricated. Therein aldehyde group of oxidized microcrystalline cellulose (OMCC) from PP were crosslinked with amino group of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) from HER via Schiff-base reaction for structuring hydrogels. The structures of the prepared hydrogels were characterized. Meanwhile, its blood clotting activity and physical properties were investigated. The hydrogels show some favorable performances with suitable gel time (54 s of minimum), distinguish swelling rate (about 31.18 g/g), good mechanical, self-healing characteristic and well coagulation effect. The cumulative release of the rutin-loaded hydrogel OMCM-54 reached about 80 % within 6 h, suggesting the well-controlled release of rutin by crosslinking degree between the modified OMCC and CMCS based on Schiff-base reaction. The novel biomaterial based on hericium erinaceus residues and pineapple peel shows its potential use as wound dressing.

Abstract
Chronic ulcers are among the main causes of morbidity and mortality due to the high probability of infection and sepsis and therefore exert a significant impact on public health resources. Numerous types of dressings are used for the treatment of skin ulcers-each with different advantages and disadvantages. Bacterial cellulose (BC) has received enormous interest in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and medical fields due to its biological, physical, and mechanical characteristics, which enable the creation of polymer composites and blends with broad applications. In the medical field, BC was at first used in wound dressings, tissue regeneration, and artificial blood vessels. This material is suitable for treating various skin diseases due its considerable fluid retention and medication loading properties. BC membranes are used as a temporary dressing for skin treatments due to their excellent fit to the body, reduction in pain, and acceleration of epithelial regeneration. BC-based composites and blends have been evaluated and synthesized both in vitro and in vivo to create an ideal microenvironment for wound healing. This review describes different methods of producing and handling BC for use in the medical field and highlights the qualities of BC in detail with emphasis on biomedical reports that demonstrate its utility. Moreover, it gives an account of biomedical applications, especially for tissue engineering and wound dressing materials reported until date. This review also includes patents of BC applied as a wound dressing material.

De novo strategy with engineering a multifunctional bacterial cellulose-based dressing for rapid healing of infected wounds. Bioact Mater 2022; 13:212-222. [PMID: 35224303 PMCID: PMC8844193 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2021.10.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2021] [Revised: 10/26/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
The treatment and healing of infected skin lesions is one of the major challenges in surgery. To solve this problem, collagen I (Col-I) and the antibacterial agent hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) were composited into the bacterial cellulose (BC) three-dimensional network structure by a novel membrane–liquid interface (MLI) culture, and a Col-I/HACC/BC (CHBC) multifunctional dressing was designed. The water absorption rate and water vapor transmission rate of the obtained CHBC dressing were 35.78 ± 2.45 g/g and 3084 ± 56 g m−2·day−1, respectively. The water retention of the CHBC dressing was significantly improved compared with the BC caused by the introduced Col-I and HACC. In vitro results indicated that the combined advantages of HACC and Col-I confer on CHBC dressings not only have outstanding antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) compared with BC and CBC, but also exhibit better cytocompatibility than BC and HBC to promote the proliferation and spread of NIH3T3 cells and HUVECs. Most importantly, the results of in vivo animal tests demonstrated that the CHBC dressings fully promoted wound healing for 8 days and exhibited shorter healing times, especially in the case of wound infection. Excellent skin regeneration effects and higher expression levels of collagen during infection were also shown in the CHBC group. We believe that CHBC composites with favorable multifunctionality have potential applications as wound dressings to treat infected wounds. The antibacterial agent HACC and collagen I were introduced into BC structure by a novel membrane–liquid interface culture. CHBC dressing has favorable thermostability, water absorption, water retention rate and WVTRs. CHBC dressing has outstanding antibacterial properties against S. aureus. CHBC dressing promoted the proliferation and spread of NIH3T3 cells and HUVECs. CHBC dressing prevented wound infection caused by S. aureus and accelerated wound healing.

Abstract
In wound treatment, severe bleeding and infection are always primary challenges. Therefore, it is highly desired to develop novel dressing with both hemostatic and antibacterial capability. Herein, a series of biocomposite hemostatic films (BHFs) based alginate/chitosan/collagen-berberine have been prepared and well characterized for further biofunctional study. We have demonstrated that the hemostatic and antibacterial activities were significantly enhanced by calcium/berberine dual-crosslinking system in the film. Through the synergistic effects, BHF-6B exhibited a shorter in vivo clotting and wound healing time than that of commercial dressing in rat tail amputation and full-thickness skin defect models. Additionally, BHF-6B showed excellent bacteriostatic activity with long-term effects. Moreover, hemolysis and cytotoxicity tests in vitro illustrated the prominent biocompatibility of the composite films. Notably, BHF-6B could be degraded quickly and completely in vivo. Overall, the present work indicated that the functionalized BHF-6B has great potential as an absorbable biomaterial for wound treatment.

Abstract
Throughout history, natural biomaterials have benefited society. Nevertheless, in recent years, tailoring natural materials for diverse biomedical applications accompanied with sustainability has become the focus. With the progress in the field of materials science, novel approaches for the production, processing, and functionalization of biomaterials to obtain specific architectures have become achievable. This review highlights an immensely adaptable natural biomaterial, bacterial cellulose (BC). BC is an emerging sustainable biopolymer with immense potential in the biomedical field due to its unique physical properties such as flexibility, high porosity, good water holding capacity, and small size; chemical properties such as high crystallinity, foldability, high purity, high polymerization degree, and easy modification; and biological characteristics such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, excellent biological affinity, and non-biotoxicity. The structure of BC consists of glucose monomer units polymerized via cellulose synthase in β-1-4 glucan chains, creating BC nano fibrillar bundles with a uniaxial orientation. BC-based composites have been extensively investigated for diverse biomedical applications due to their similarity to the extracellular matrix structure. The recent progress in nanotechnology allows the further modification of BC, producing novel BC-based biomaterials for various applications. In this review, we strengthen the existing knowledge on the production of BC and BC composites and their unique properties, and highlight the most recent advances, focusing mainly on the delivery of active pharmaceutical compounds, tissue engineering, and wound healing. Further, we endeavor to present the challenges and prospects for BC-associated composites for their application in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Cellulose/chitosan composite, as a mature commercial antibacterial dressing, is an important type of wound repair material. However, how to achieve the perfect compound of two components and improve antibacterial activity is a major, lingering issue. In this study, a bifunctional group modified bacterial cellulose (DCBC) was prepared by carboxymethylation and selective oxidation. Further, the chitosan (CS) was compounded in the network of DCBC by self-crosslinking to form dialdehyde carboxymethyl bacterial cellulose/chitosan composites (S-DCBC/CS). The aldehyde group can react with amino of CS by Schiff base reaction. The carboxyl group of DCBC and the amorphous distribution of CS molecular chains increase the antimicrobial properties of composites. The bacteriostatic rate of composites could be higher than 95%. Bacteria can be attracted onto the surface of composites, what we call it “directional adhesion antibacterial effects”. In particular, a kind of large animal wound model, deep Ⅱ degree infected scald of Bama miniature pig, was used to research the antimicrobial and healing properties of materials. The S-DCBC/CS can effectively inhibit bacterial proliferation of wound and kill the bacteria. The wound healing rate of S-DCBC/CS was up to 80% after three weeks. The composites show better antibacterial and promoting concrescence effects than traditional chitosan dressings. A network composites from dialdehyde carboxylmethyl BC with chitosan that has good antibacterial properties. Deep Ⅱ degree infected scald of Bama pig was used to research the antimicrobial and healing properties of S-DCBC/CS. The S-DCBC/CS composites could promote epidermal growth and collagen production.

Abstract
Wound healing is a therapeutic challenge due to the complexity of the wound. Various wounds could cause severe physiological trauma and bring social and economic burdens to the patient. The conventional wound healing treatments using bandages and gauze are limited particularly due to their susceptibility to infection. Different types of wound dressing have developed in different physical forms such as sponges, hydrocolloids, films, membranes, and hydrogels. Each of these formulations possesses distinct characteristics making them appropriate for the treatment of a specific wound. In this review, the pathology and microbiology of wounds are introduced. Then, the most recent progress on bacterial cellulose- (BC-) based wound dressing discussed and highlighted their antibacterial and reepithelization properties in vitro and in vivo wound closure. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives on the development of BC-based wound dressing biomaterials are outlined.

Abstract
Asymmetric catalysis is the preferred method for the synthesis of pure chiral molecules in the fine chemical industry. Cellulose has long been sought as a support in enantioselective catalysis. Dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) is produced by the selective oxidation of cellulose and is used to bind 5,5′-diamino Binap by forming a Schiff base. Here, we report the synthesis of modified cellulose-supported Rh as a novel biomass-supported catalyst and the characterization of its morphology, composition, and thermal stability. DAC-BINAP-Rh was a very effective catalyst in the asymmetric hydrogenation of enamides and could be easily recycled. This work provides a novel supported catalyst that broadens the applications of cellulose in asymmetric catalysis.

Abstract
Significance: Wound dressings are frequently used for wound covering and healing. Ideal wound dressings should provide a moist environment for wounds and actively promote wound healing and skin recovery. The materials used as ideal wound dressings should possess specific properties, thus accelerating skin tissue regeneration process. Recent Advances: Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer synthesized by some bacteria. As a kind of natural biopolymer, BC shows good biological activity, biodegradability, and biological adaptability. It has many unique physical, chemical, and biological properties, such as ultrafine nanofiber network, high crystallinity, high water absorption and retention capacity, and high tensile strength and elastic modulus. These excellent properties of BC have laid the foundation for its application as dressing in wound healing. Critical Issues: To optimize the biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity of BC, different methods including microbial fermentation, physical modification, chemical modification, and compound modification have been adopted to modify BC to ensure a better application in wound healing. BC-based wound dressings have been applied in infected wounds, acute traumatic injuries, burns, and diabetic wounds, showing remarkable therapeutic effects on promoting wound healing. Furthermore, there have been some commercial BC-based dressings and they have been utilized in clinical practice. Future Directions: Because of its excellent physicochemical characteristics and biological properties, BC shows high clinical value to be used as a wound dressing for skin tissue regeneration.

Abstract
In studies on wound-dressing materials, bioactive materials have been developed rapidly to accelerate wound healing. In recent years, scientists have studied arginine as a bioactive component due to its excellent biosafety, antimicrobial properties and therapeutic effects on wound healing. Surprisingly, arginine therapy is also used under specific pathological conditions, such as diabetes and trauma/hemorrhagic shock. Due to the broad utilization of arginine-assisted therapy, we present the unique properties of arginine for healing lesions of damaged tissue and examined multiple arginine-based systems for the application of wound healing. This review shows that arginine-based therapy can be separated in two categories: direct supplemental approaches of free arginine, and indirect approaches based on arginine derivatives in which modified arginine can be released after biodegradation. Using these two pathways, arginine-based therapy may prove to be a promising strategy in the development of wound curative treatments.

Perforation is the most common illness of the tympanic membrane (TM), which is commonly treated with surgical procedures. The success rate of the treatment could be improved by novel bioengineering approaches. In fact, a successful restoration of a damaged TM needs a supporting biomaterial or scaffold able to meet mechano-acoustic properties similar to those of the native TM, along with optimal biocompatibility. Traditionally, a large number of biological-based materials, including paper, silk, Gelfoam®, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and chitosan, have been used for TM repair. A novel biopolymer with promising features for tissue engineering applications is cellulose. It is a highly biocompatible, mechanically and chemically strong polysaccharide, abundant in the environment, with the ability to promote cellular growth and differentiation. Bacterial cellulose (BC), in particular, is produced by microorganisms as a nanofibrous three-dimensional structure of highly pure cellulose, which has thus become a popular graft material for wound healing due to a number of remarkable properties, such as water retention, elasticity, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and transparency. This review paper provides a comprehensive overview of the current experimental studies of BC, focusing on the application of BC patches in the treatment of TM perforations. In addition, computational approaches to model cellulose and TM are summarized, with the aim to synergize the available tools toward the best design and exploitation of BC patches and scaffolds for TM repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), which can be produced by microorganisms, is an ideal biomaterial especially for tissue engineering and drug delivery systems thanks to its properties of high purity, biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, high crystallinity, 3 D nanofiber structure, porosity and high-water holding capacity. Therefore, wide ranges of researches have been done on the BC production process and its structural and physical modifications to make it more suitable for certain targeted biomedical applications thoroughly. BC's properties such as mechanical strength, pore diameter and porosity can be tuned in situ or ex situ processes by using various polymer and compounds. Besides, different organic or inorganic compounds that support cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation or provide functions such as antimicrobial effectiveness can be gained to its structure for targeted application. These processes not only increase the usage options of BC but also provide success for mimicking the natural tissue microenvironment, especially in tissue engineering applications. In this review article, the studies on optimisation of BC production in the last decade and the BC modification and functionalisation studies conducted for the three main perspectives as tissue engineering, drug delivery and wound dressing with diverse approaches are summarized.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is an extracellular polymer produced by Komagateibacter xylinus, which has been shown to possess a multitude of properties, which makes it innately useful as a next-generation biopolymer. The structure of BC is comprised of glucose monomer units polymerised by cellulose synthase in β-1-4 glucan chains which form uniaxially orientated BC fibril bundles which measure 3-8 nm in diameter. BC is chemically identical to vegetal cellulose. However, when BC is compared with other natural or synthetic analogues, it shows a much higher performance in biomedical applications, potable treatment, nano-filters and functional applications. The main reason for this superiority is due to the high level of chemical purity, nano-fibrillar matrix and crystallinity. Upon using BC as a carrier or scaffold with other materials, unique and novel characteristics can be observed, which are all relatable to the features of BC. These properties, which include high tensile strength, high water holding capabilities and microfibrillar matrices, coupled with the overall physicochemical assets of bacterial cellulose makes it an ideal candidate for further scientific research into biopolymer development. This review thoroughly explores several areas in which BC is being investigated, ranging from biomedical applications to electronic applications, with a focus on the use as a next-generation wound dressing. The purpose of this review is to consolidate and discuss the most recent advancements in the applications of bacterial cellulose, primarily in biomedicine, but also in biotechnology.

Abstract
A nasal stent capable of preventing adhesions and inflammation is of great value in treating nasal diseases. In order to solve the problems of tissue adhesion and inflammation response, we prepared plasticized bacterial cellulose (BCG) and waterborne polyurethane (WPU) composite with antibacterial function used as a novel nasal stent. The gelation behavior of BCG could contribute to protecting the paranasal sinus mucosa; meanwhile, the WPU with improved mechanical property was aimed at supporting the narrow nasal cavity. The thickness, size and the supporting force of the nasal stent could be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the nasal. Thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle and water absorption test were applied to investigate the thermal, hydrophilic and water absorption properties of the composite materials. The composite materials loaded with poly(hexamethylene biguanide) hydrochloride maintained well antibacterial activity over 12 days. Animal experiments further revealed that the mucosal epithelium mucosae damage of BCG-WPU composite was minor compared with that of WPU. This new type of drug-loaded nasal stent can effectively address the postoperative adhesions and infections while ensuring the health of nasal mucosal, and thus has an immense clinical application prospects in treating nasal diseases.

Abstract
Carboxylated bacterial cellulose (OBC) was fabricated by oxidation with nitrogen dioxide in chloroform/cyclohexane and employed as a carrier for sustained release of antitumor substance cisplatin (CDDP). The influence of removing water method, solvent used in the synthesis, concentration of N2O4, and duration of the oxidation on content of carboxyl groups in reaction products was established. Due to the possibility of nitrogen dioxide to penetrate into cellulose crystallites, the carboxyl group content of the OBC reaches high values up to 4 mmol/g. In vitro degradation of OBC was determined under simulated physiological conditions. The immobilization of CDDP on OBC was studied in detail. The initial burst release of the drug from the polymer was depressed. The cytotoxicity of CDDP-loaded OBC was evaluated with HeLa cells. The unique structure and properties of OBC make it a great candidate as drug delivery carrier.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural polymer with remarkable superiority for fabricating biomaterials. In this study, a multiporous bacterial cellulose (MBC) film was modified with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), and the modified MBC film was imbued with antibacterial properties after chlorination. The dried chlorinated samples showed superb antibacterial efficacy and could inactivate 6.19 log of inoculated S. aureus and 6.29 log of E. coli within 1 min of contact. After releasing active chlorine for 12 h, 3.67 log of S. aureus and 3.97 log of E. coli were inactivated within 30 min of contact. The prepared films displayed high porous and layered structures with a resultant excellent water retention which can be applied as material for wound dressings. In addition, the chlorinated films showed hemostatic ability on wound bleeding and good biocompatibility. The prepared N-halamine functionalized MBC films might have great potential applications as wound dressings.

Abstract
Nerve guide conduits (NGCs) with geometric design have shown significant advantages in guidance of nerve reinnervation across the defect of injured peripheral nerves. It is realized that intraluminal fillers with distinctive structure can effectively provide an inner guidance for sprouting of axons and improve the permeability of NGC. In this work, a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) NGC is prepared containing intraluminal sponge fillers (labeled as ISF-NGC) and used for reconstruction of a rat sciatic nerve with a 10 mm gap. For comparison, the same procedure is applied to a single hollow PLGA NGC (labeled as H-NGC) and an autologous nerve. As evidenced by significantly improved nerve morphology and function, the ISF-NGC achieves a superior nerve repair effect over H-NGC, which is comparable to autologous nerve grafting. It is likely that the H-NGC only provides a protected tunnel for nerve fiber regrowth and axonal extension, while ISF-NGC offers an extracellular matrix-mimetic architecture as autograft to provide contact guidance for nerve reinnervation. This newly developed ISF-NGC is a promising candidate to aid nerve reinnervation across longer gaps commonly encountered in clinical cases.

Abstract
Biofilm-associated infections are in a high rate of recurrence and biofilms show formidable resistance to current antibiotics, making them a growing challenge in biomedical field. In this study, a biocompatible composite was developed by incorporating tannic acid (TA) and MgCl2 to bacterial cellulose (BC) for antimicrobial and anti-biofilm purposes. The morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical structure were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). In vitro release profiles of tannic acid revealed that the Mg2+ cross-links help impede the release of TA from BC matrix, while composite BC-TA lacked Mg2+ ionic cross-links, thus more TA was released from the hydrogel. The BC-TA-Mg composites also displayed strong antibacterial activity against S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. Moreover, the composites significantly reduced biofilm formation of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa after 24 h incubation by ∼80% and ∼87%, respectively. As a consequence, the BC-TA-Mg composites are a very promising material for combating biofilm-associated infections in biomedical and public health fields.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose holds great promise for tissue engineering, but its application is greatly limited due to the lack of large pores and poor cell affinity. In this study, macroporous bacterial cellulose was fabricated through the dissolution of gelatin microspheres, which were incorporated with bacterial cellulose during bacterial cellulose fabrication. Then, gelatin was immobilized onto bacterial cellulose surface via procyanidins crosslinking. The results confirmed that the scaffolds possessed interconnected macroporous structure, high porosity, good water uptake ability, and good mechanical properties. The results of evaluation of cells showed that cells migrated to the inner of macroporous affinitive bacterial cellulose and displayed better spreading as well as proliferation than that on pure bacterial cellulose surfaces. The macroporous affinitive bacterial cellulose show potential as a scaffold for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Although several therapeutic approaches are available for wound and burn treatment and much progress has been made in this area, room for improvement still exists, driven by the urgent need of better strategies to accelerate wound healing and recovery, mostly for cases of severe burned patients. Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a biopolymer produced by bacteria with several advantages over vegetal cellulose, such as purity, high porosity, permeability to liquid and gases, elevated water uptake capacity and mechanical robustness. Besides its biocompatibility, BC can be modified in order to acquire antibacterial response and possible local drug delivery features. Due to its intrinsic versatility, BC is the perfect example of a biotechnological response to a clinical problem. In this review, we assess the BC main features and emphasis is given to a specific biomedical application: wound dressings. The production process and the physical-chemical properties that entitle this material to be used as wound dressing namely for burn healing are highlighted. An overview of the most common BC composites and their enhanced properties, in particular physical and biological, is provided, including the different production processes. A particular focus is given to the biochemistry and genetic manipulation of BC. A summary of the current marketed BC-based wound dressing products is presented, and finally, future perspectives for the usage of BC as wound dressing are foreseen.

Abstract
In recent years, bacterial cellulose (BC)-based dressings or patches for skin or soft tissue repair have become investigative emphasis. However, most of the BC-based products used for biomedical applications present limitations due to their low flexibility, poor gas permeability and no inherent antibacterial activity. Herein, we proposed and designed a novel composite composed of natural bacterial cellulose (BC), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyhexamethylene biguanidine (PHMB) through new synthetic approaches. The composite membrane exhibited favorable physicochemical performance, especially transparency, water retention ability, flexibility as well as the characteristic of anti-adhesion. In vitro biochemical experiment results indicated that the composite had excellent biocompatibility and exhibited strong and sustained antibacterial effect. In vivo test further demonstrated that the composite could efficiently promote skin wound healing and regeneration in a rat model. This composite membrane possesses multiple mechanisms of promoting cutaneous wound healing and will provide new ideas for future development of wound dressings.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC)⁻gelatin (GEL) membranes were processed by successive periodate oxidation and a freeze-thawing/carbodiimide crosslinking procedure, first facilitating a Schiff-base reaction among respective aldehyde and hydroxyl groups, and later GEL stabilization and microstructuring. The formation of highly microporous structures within the GEL portion, with significant differences between bottom and top, was elucidated, and pores in the 27.6 ± 3 µm⁻108 ± 5 µm range were generated, exceeding the threshold value of ~10 µm sufficient for cell trafficking. During a relatively short (6 h) exhaustion procedure in supersaturated simulated body fluid solution, the membranes accommodated the combination of biologically relevant minerals, i.e., flake-like octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and (amorphous) apatite, onto their surface, forming a membrane with intensive swelling (650⁻1650%) and up to 90% weight loss in a 4-week period. The membranes´ 6-day eluates did not evoke any cytotoxic effects toward human fibroblast, MRC-5 cells. The same type of cells retained their morphology in direct contact with the membrane, attaching to the GEL porous site, while not attaching to the GEL thin-coated BC side, most probably due to combined, ablation effect of dominant β-sheet conformation and carbodiimide crosslinking. Together with arrested proliferation through the BC side, the membranes demonstrated beneficial properties for potential guided tissue regeneration (GTR) applications.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC), with unique structure and properties, has attracted much attention in the biomedical field, especially in using as wound dressing. However, pure BC lacks the antimicrobial activity, which limits its application in wound healing. To solve this problem, copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) loaded BC membranes were fabricated by using in situ chemical reduction method. The morphology and chemical composition of the composite membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that Cu NPs evenly distributed and anchored in the three-dimensional (3-D) nanofiber network of BC through physical bonding. Traces of Cu2O were observed on the membranes probably because the Cu2+ was incompletely reduced. The Cu NPs loaded BC membranes showed efficient long-term antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) even after immersion in deionized water for up to 90 days. The composite membranes kept sustained release of copper ion, which may contribute to the long-term antibacterial activity. Furthermore, with controlled Cu concentration, BC/Cu membranes did not show obvious cytotoxicity to normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF). In all, the present results reveal that BC/Cu membranes with efficient antibacterial activity are promising to be used as wound dressings.

Fabrication of nanofibrous microcarriers mimicking extracellular matrix for functional microtissue formation and cartilage regeneration. Biomaterials 2018; 171:118-132.

Abstract
Cartilage has rather limited capacities for self-repair and regeneration. To repair complexly shaped cartilage tissue defects, we propose the application of microtissues fabricated from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) cultured in natural bionic nanofibrous microcarriers (NF-MCs). The NF-MCs were structurally and functionally designed to mimic natural extracellular matrix (ECM) by crosslinking dialdehyde bacterial cellulose (DBC) with DL-allo-hydroxylysine (DHYL) and complexing chitosan (CS) with DHYL through electrostatic interactions. The orthogonal design allows for fine tuning of fiber diameter, pore size, porosity, mechanical properties, and biodegradation rate of the NF-MC. BMSCs cultured in NF-MCs showed improved proliferation compared with those cultured in chitosan microcarriers (CS-MCs). After three-week culture under microgravity conditions, functional cartilage microtissues were generated. When implanted into a knee articular cartilage defect in mice, the microtissue showed superior in vivo cartilage repair as characterized by cell tracking, histology, micro CT image, and gait analysis. Versatile in natural biopolymer design and biomimetic in nanofibrous component embedded in macroporous microcarriers, these injectable NC-MCs demonstrate to be effective carriers for cell proliferation and differentiation. Furthermore, the functional microtissues also show their prospect in repair of cartilage tissue, and suggest their potential for other tissues in general.
