Bridging biomimetic and bioenergetics scaffold: Cellulose-graphene oxide-arginine functionalized aerogel for stem cell-mediated cartilage repair. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 278:134608. [PMID: 39134192 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 08/18/2024]
Abstract
The avascular nature of cartilage tissue limits inherent regenerative capacity to counter any damage and this has become a substantial burden to the health of individuals. As a result, there is a high demand to repair and regenerate cartilage. Existing tissue engineering approaches for cartilage regeneration typically produce either microporous or nano-fibrous scaffolds lacking the desired biological outcome due to lack of biomimetic dual architecture of microporous construct with nano-fibrous interconnected structures like the native cartilage. Most of these scaffolds also fail to suppress ROS generation and provide sustained bioenergetics to cells, resulting in the loss of metabolic activity under avascular microenvironment of cartilage. A dual architecture microporous construct with nano-fibrous interconnected network of cellulose aerogel reinforced with arginine-coated graphene oxide (CNF-GO-Arg aerogel) was developed for cartilage regeneration. The designed dual-architectured CNF-GO-Arg aerogel using dual ice templating assembly demonstrates 80 % strain recovery ability under compression. The release of Arginine from CNF-GO-Arg aerogel supported 41 % reduction in intracellular ROS activity and promoted chondrogenic differentiation of hMSCs by shifting mitochondrial bioenergetics towards oxidative phosphorylation indicated by JC-1 dye staining. Overall developed CNF-GO-Arg aerogel provided multifunctionality via biomimetic morphology, cellular bioenergetics, and suppressed ROS generation to address the need for regeneration of cartilage.

Abstract
Elevated glucose levels, multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines and the generation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) are pivotal characteristics within the microenvironments of chronic periodontitis with diabetes mellitus (CPDM). Control of inflammation and modulation of immune system are required in the initial phase of CPDM treatment, while late severe periodontitis requires a suitable scaffold to promote osteogenesis, rebuild periodontal tissue and reduce alveolar bone resorption. Herein, a whole-course-repair system is introduced by an injectable hydrogel using phenylboronic acid functionalized oxidized sodium alginate (OSA-PBA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC). Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) was loaded to simultaneously adjust the mechanical property of the OSA-PBA/CMC + EGCG hydrogel (OPCE). This hydrogel has distinctive adaptability, injectability, and ROS/glucose-triggered release of EGCG, making it an ideal drug delivery carrier. As expected, OPCE hydrogel shows favourable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, along with a regulatory influence on the phenotypic transition of macrophages, providing a favourable immune microenvironment. Apart from that, it provides a favourable mechanical support for osteoblast/osteoclast differentiation regulation at the late proliferation stage of periodontal regeneration. The practical therapeutic effects of OPCE hydrogels were also confirmed when applied for treating periodontitis in diabetic rats. In summary, OPCE hydrogel may be a promising whole-course-repair system for the treatment of CPDM.

Abstract
Untimely or improper treatment of traumatic bleeding may cause secondary injuries and even death. The traditional hemostatic modes can no longer meet requirements of coping with complicated bleeding emergencies. With scientific and technological advancements, a variety of topical hemostatic materials have been investigated involving inorganic, biological, polysaccharide, and carbon-based hemostatic materials. These materials have their respective merits and defects. In this work, the application and mechanism of the major hemostatic materials, especially some hemostatic nanomaterials with excellent adhesion, good biocompatibility, low toxicity, and high adsorption capacity, are summarized. In the future, it is the prospect to develop multifunctional hemostatic materials with hemostasis and antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties for promoting wound healing.

Abstract
Efficient bone reconstruction, especially of the critical size after bone damage, remains a challenge in the clinic. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) osteogenic differentiation is considered as a promising strategy for bone repair. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) regulating BMSC fate and cellular function enhance osteogenesis, but is hardly delivered and lack of targeting. Herein, a novel and biocompatible scaffold was fabricated to locally deliver a precursor of NAD+, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) to the bone defect site, and its bone repair capability and healing mechanism were clarified. NMN-based hyaluronic acid methacryloyl hybrid hydrogel scaffold (denoted as NMN/HAMA) was prepared via photopolymerization. In vitro RT-qPCR analysis, western blotting, Elisa and alizarin red S staining assays demonstrated that the NMN/HAMA hybrid hydrogel regulated BMSCs cellular function in favour of osteogenic differentiation and mineralization by upregulating the mRNA and proteins expression of the osteogenic genes type I pro-collagen (Col-1), bone morphogenic protein 4 (BMP4), and runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) via the SIRT1 pathway. Implantation of such hybrid hydrogels significantly enhanced bone regeneration in rodent critical calvarial defect models. Furthermore, restoration of the bone defect with NMN administration was inhibited in Prx1 Cre+; SIRT1flox/flox mice, confirming that the NMN/HAMA hybrid hydrogel scaffold promoted bone regeneration via the SIRT1-RUNX2 pathway. These results imply that NMN-based scaffold may be a promising and economic strategy for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process involving the concerted action of many genes and signaling pathways, with angiogenesis being crucial for expediting wound closure. Dressings that possess pro-angiogenic properties are increasingly recognized as attractive candidates for wound care. Drawing inspiration from the active closure of wounds in embryos, we have developed a thermo-responsive hydrogel with mechanoactive properties, combining vascular regeneration and skin wound contraction to accelerate healing. The significant improvement in vascular reconstruction is attributed to the synergistic effect of arginine and deferoxamine (DFO) released from the hydrogels. Additionally, the contraction force of the hydrogel actively promotes skin closure in wounds. Remarkably, groups treated with hydroxybutyl chitosan methacrylate combined with arginine (HBC_m_Arg/DFO) exhibited increased vascularization, and greater wound maturity, leading to enhanced healing. These results highlight the synergistic impact of pro-angiogenic and mechanical properties of the HBC_m_Arg/DFO hydrogel in accelerating wound healing in rats.

Abstract
ADSCs are a large number of mesenchymal stem cells in Adipose tissue, which can be applied to tissue engineering. ADSCs have the potential of multi-directional differentiation, and can differentiate into bone tissue, cardiac tissue, urothelial cells, skin tissue, etc. Compared with other mesenchymal stem cells, ADSCs have a multitude of promising advantages, such as abundant number, accessibility in cell culture, stable function, and less immune rejection. There are two main methods to use ADSCs for tissue repair and regeneration. One is to implant the "ADSCs-scaffold composite" into the injured site to promote tissue regeneration. The other is cell-free therapy: using ADSC-exos or ADSC-CM alone to release a large number of miRNAs, cytokines and other bioactive substances to promote tissue regeneration. The tissue regeneration potential of ADSCs is regulated by a variety of cytokines, signaling molecules, and external environment. The differentiation of ADSCs into different tissues is also induced by growth factors, ions, hormones, scaffold materials, physical stimulation, and other factors. The specific mechanisms are complex, and most of the signaling pathways need to be further explored. This article reviews and summarizes the mechanism and clinical application of ADSCs in tissue injury repair so far, and puts forward further problems that need to be solved in this field, hoping to provide directions for further research in this field.

Abstract
In this study, a bio-based acrylate resin derived from soybean oil was used in combination with a reactive diluent, isobornyl acrylate, to synthetize a composite scaffold reinforced with bioactive glass particles. The formulation contained acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO), isobornyl acrylate (IBOA), a photo-initiator (Irgacure 819) and a bioactive glass particle. The resin showed high reactivity towards radical photopolymerisation, and the presence of the bioactive glass did not significantly affect the photocuring process. The 3D-printed samples showed different properties from the mould-polymerised samples. The glass transition temperature Tg showed an increase of 3D samples with increasing bioactive glass content, attributed to the layer-by-layer curing process that resulted in improved interaction between the bioactive glass and the polymer matrix. Scanning electron microscope analysis revealed an optimal distribution on bioactive glass within the samples. Compression tests indicated that the 3D-printed sample exhibited higher modulus compared to mould-synthetized samples, proving the enhanced mechanical behaviour of 3D-printed scaffolds. The cytocompatibility and biocompatibility of the samples were evaluated using human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs). The metabolic activity and attachment of cells on the samples' surfaces were analysed, and the results demonstrated higher metabolic activity and increased cell attachment on the surfaces containing higher bioactive glass content. The viability of the cells was further confirmed through live/dead staining and reseeding experiments. Overall, this study presents a novel approach for fabricating bioactive glass reinforced scaffolds using 3D printing technology, offering potential applications in tissue engineering.

Effects of Gamma Irradiation and Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Sterilization on Methacrylated Gelatin/Hyaluronan Hydrogels. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:317. [PMID: 37367281 DOI: 10.3390/jfb14060317] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 05/30/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Biopolymer hydrogels have become an important group of biomaterials in experimental and clinical use. However, unlike metallic or mineral materials, they are quite sensitive to sterilization. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of gamma irradiation and supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) treatment on the physicochemical properties of different hyaluronan (HA)- and/or gelatin (GEL)-based hydrogels and the cellular response of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSC). Hydrogels were photo-polymerized from methacrylated HA, methacrylated GEL, or a mixture of GEL/HA. The composition and sterilization methods altered the dissolution behavior of the biopolymeric hydrogels. There were no significant differences in methacrylated GEL release but increased methacrylated HA degradation of gamma-irradiated samples. Pore size/form remained unchanged, while gamma irradiation decreased the elastic modulus from about 29 kPa to 19 kPa compared to aseptic samples. HBMSC proliferated and increased alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) particularly in aseptic and gamma-irradiated methacrylated GEL/HA hydrogels alike, while scCO2 treatment had a negative effect on both proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Thus, gamma-irradiated methacrylated GEL/HA hydrogels are a promising base for multi-component bone substitute materials.

[PMID: 37247718 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 05/19/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
This article aims to assess the highly potent antimicrobial hydrogels composed of cellulose and Arabic gum containing sulfadiazine drug (sulfadiazine-loaded Cel/AG) as drug-targeting carriers. ATR-IR, SEM/ EDS, XRD, and XPS methods were used to investigate the hydrogel. The highest water absorption % was 489.93 ± 4.5 at pH 7.4. Pseudo-second order and Fickian diffusion govern the swelling behavior. The maximal sulfadiazine loading percent was 82.291 ± 74. The in-vitro drug release exhibited significant responses in physiologically simulated pH values. The maximum cumulative release percent was 66.42 ± 0.6 % at pH 7.4. The drug release is predicted by the first order and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. The first diffusion coefficient was (Di = 9.207 ± 47 × 10-3 cm2/h) and the late one was (DL = 5.64 ± 9.0 × 10-2 cm2/h) at pH 7.4. That hydrogel is well-thought-out a potential drug delivery vehicle. The thermal stability of the Cel/AG hydrogel drug carrier has been enhanced by the incorporation of sulfadiazine which is evidenced by increasing the total activation approximately two-fold. The total activation energy of Cel/AG and sulfadiazine-loaded Cel/AG hydrogels were -0.07362 and -0.2092 J/mol. The sulfadiazine medication's inhibitory effect was markedly enhanced when it was incorporated into the Cel/AG hydrogel films.

Abstract
Nanocomposite hydrogels based on tyramine conjugated gum tragacanth, poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were prepared by electron beam irradiation and characterized. The FTIR, 1H NMR, and TGA results confirmed the chemical incorporation of HNTs into gum tragacanth. Gel content and swelling of hydrogels decreased with HNTs loading up to 20 % wt. The mechanical strength of hydrogels increased by increasing HNTs content up to 10 % with 371 kPa fracture stress at 0.95 fracture strain, compared to 312 kPa stress at 0.79 strain for gum tragacanth/PVA hydrogel. Hydrogel's biocompatibility and osteogenic activity were tested by seeding rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. The cell viability was >85 % after 7 days of culture. In vitro secretion of ALP and calcium deposition on hydrogels in alizarin red assay after 21 days of culture indicated hydrogel potential for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) containing various ingredients such as DNA, RNA, lipids and proteins, which play a significant role in intercellular communication. Numerous studies have demonstrated the important role of exosomes in bone regeneration through promoting the expression of osteogenic-related genes and proteins in mesenchymal stem cells. However, the low targeting ability and short circulating half-life of exosomes limited their clinical application. In order to solve those problems, different delivery systems and biological scaffolds have been developed. Hydrogel is a kind of absorbable biological scaffold composed of three-dimensional hydrophilic polymers. It not only has excellent biocompatibility and superior mechanical strength but can also provide a suitable nutrient environment for the growth of the endogenous cells. Thus, the combination between exosomes and hydrogels can improve the stability and maintain the biological activity of exosomes while achieving the sustained release of exosomes in the bone defect sites. As an important component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), hyaluronic acid (HA) plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, migration, inflammation, angiogenesis, tissue regeneration, wound healing and cancer. In recent years, hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels have been used as an exosome delivery system for bone regeneration and have displayed positive effects. This review mainly summarized the potential mechanism of HA and exosomes in promoting bone regeneration and the application prospects and challenges of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels as exosome delivery devices in bone regeneration.

Abstract
There is an endogenous electric field in living organisms, which plays a vital role in the development and regeneration of bone tissue. Therefore, self-powered piezoelectric material for bone repair has become hot research in recent years. However, the current piezoelectric materials for tissue regeneration still have the shortcomings of lack of biological activity and three-dimensional structure. Here, we proposed a three-dimensional polyurethane foam (PUF) scaffold coated with piezoelectric poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and modified by a calcium phosphate (CaP) mineralized coating. The preferred scaffold has an open circuit voltage and short circuit current output of 5 V and 200 nA. Combining the physical and chemical properties of the CaP coating, the piezoelectric signal of PVDF-HFP and the three-dimensional structure of PUF, the scaffold exhibits superior promotion of cell osteogenic differentiation and ectopic bone formation in vivo. The mechanism is attributed to an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in response to chemical and piezoelectric stimulation with the material. This research not only paves the way for the application of piezoelectric scaffolds to stimulate osteoblasts differentiation in situ, but also lays the foundation for the clinical treatment of long-term osteoporosis.

Abstract
Conventional intake of drugs and active substances is most often based on oral intake of an appropriate dose to achieve the desired effect in the affected area or source of pain. In this case, controlling their distribution in the body is difficult, as the substance also reaches other tissues. This phenomenon results in the occurrence of side effects and the need to increase the concentration of the therapeutic substance to ensure it has the desired effect. The scientific field of tissue engineering proposes a solution to this problem, which creates the possibility of designing intelligent systems for delivering active substances precisely to the site of disease conversion. The following review discusses significant current research strategies as well as examples of polymeric and composite carriers for protein and non-protein biomolecules designed for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Bone is one of the most complex, inaccessible body structures, responsible for calcium storage and haematopoiesis. The second highest cause of death across the world is cancer. Amongst all the types of cancers, bone cancer treatment modalities are limited due to the structural complexity and inaccessibility of bones. The worldwide incidence of bone diseases and bone defects due to cancer, infection, trauma, age-related bone degeneration is increasing. Currently different conventional therapies are available for bone cancer such as chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, but they have several disadvantages associated with them. Nanomedicine is being extensively researched as viable therapeutics to mitigate drug resistance in cancer therapy and promote bone regeneration. Several natural polymers such as chitosan, dextran, alginate, hyaluronic acid, and synthetic polymers like polyglycolic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid), polycaprolactone are investigated for their application in nanomedicine for bone cancer treatment and bone regeneration. Nanocarriers have shown promising results in preclinical experimental studies. However, they still face a major drawback of inadequate targetability. The paper summarizes the status of research and the progress made so far in modifications and functionalization of natural polymers for improving their site specificity and targeting for effective treatment of bone cancer and enhancing bone regeneration.

Abstract
For patients suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI), the closure of dural defects after decompressive craniectomy is the prerequisite to restoring normal physiological functions. It is also an urgent challenge to provide a neuroprotection effect against the primary and secondary nerve damage during long-term recovery. To solve these issues, we herein develop a class of bioactive, nanofibrous dural substitutes that can long-term release insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) for improving the survival and neurite outgrowth of neural cells after TBI. Such dural substitutes were polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers encapsulated with hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA)/IGF-1 by blend or coaxial electrospinning techniques, achieving bioactive PCL/HAMA/IGF nanofibrous dural substitutes with different release profiles of IGF-1. The nanofibrous dural substitutes exhibited good mechanical properties and hydrophobicity, which prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage, maintain normal intracranial pressure, and avoid external impact on the brain. We also found that the viability and neurite outgrowth of SH-SY5Y cells and primary neurons were significantly enhanced after neurite transection or oxygen and glucose deprivation treatment. Taken together, such PCL/HAMA/IGF nanofibrous dural substitutes hold promising potential to provide neuroprotection effects after primary and secondary nerve damage in TBI, which would bring significant benefits to the field of neurosurgery involving the use of artificial dura mater.

Abstract
Biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterials have offered much more opportunities from an engineering standpoint for treating diseases and maintaining health. Poly(ester amide)s (PEAs), as an outstanding family among such biomaterials, have risen overwhelmingly in the past decades. These synthetic polymers have easily and widely available raw materials and a diversity of synthetic approaches, which have attracted considerable attention. More importantly, combining the superiorities of polyamides and polyesters, PEAs have emerged with better functions. They could have improved biodegradability, biocompatibility, and cell-material interactions. The PEAs derived from α-amino acids even allow the introduction of pendant sites for further modification or functionalization. Meanwhile, it is gradually recognized that the chemical structures are closely related to the physiochemical and biological properties of PEAs so that their properties can be precisely controlled. PEAs therefore become significant materials in the biomedical fields. This review will attempt to summarize the recent progress in the development of PEAs with respect to the preparation materials and methods, structure-property relationships along with their latest biomedical accomplishments, especially for drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) has made significant progress in developing and assessing different types of bio-substitutes. However, scaffolds production through standardized methods, as required for good manufacturing process (GMP), and post-transplant in vivo monitoring still limit their translation into the clinic. 3D printed 5% GelMA scaffolds have been prepared through an optimized and reproducible process in this work. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) were encapsulated in the 3D printable GelMA ink, and their biological properties were assessed in vitro to evaluate their potential for cell delivery application. Moreover, in vivo implantation of the pristine 3D printed GelMA has been performed in a rat condyle defect model. Whereas optimal tissue integration was observed via histology, no signs of fibrotic encapsulation or inhibited bone formation were attained. A multimodal imaging workflow based on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allowed the simultaneous monitoring of both new bone formation and scaffold degradation. These outcomes point out the direction to undertake in developing 3D printed-based hydrogels for BTE that can allow a faster transition into clinical use.

Abstract
Thymoquinone (TQ), the main active constituent of Nigella sativa, has demonstrated broad-spectrum antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, which suggest its potential use in secondary infections caused by COVID-19. However, clinical deployment has been hindered due to its limited aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability. Therefore, a targeted delivery system to the lungs using nanotechnology is needed to overcome limitations encountered with TQ. In this project, a novel TQ-loaded poly(ester amide) based on L-arginine nanoparticles was prepared using the interfacial polycondensation method for a dry powder inhaler targeting delivery of TQ to the lungs. The nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR and NMR to confirm the structure. Transmission electron microscopy and Zetasizer results confirmed the particle diameter of 52 nm. The high-dose formulation showed the entrapment efficiency and loading capacity values of TQ to be 99.77% and 35.56%, respectively. An XRD study proved that TQ did not change its crystallinity, which was further confirmed by the DSC study. Optimized nanoparticles were evaluated for their in vitro aerodynamic performance, which demonstrated an effective delivery of 22.7–23.7% of the nominal dose into the lower parts of the lungs. The high drug-targeting potential and efficiency demonstrates the significant role of the TQ nanoparticles for potential application in COVID-19 and other respiratory conditions.

Abstract
Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogels are a promising material for use in a variety of tissue engineering applications. Herein, we focused on identifying the optimal irradiation time necessary to photopolymerize GelMA hydrogels with visible blue light in a manner that did not adversely
impact the biophysical properties of these cell-containing gels. We assessed the toxic effects of different irradiation times (3, 5, 10, 20 and 40 seconds) on BMMSCs encapsulated in a GelMA hydrogel using lithium phenyl-2,4,6 trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) as a photoinitiator. Both CCK-8
assays and Live-Dead staining were used to measure BMMSCs viability. We observed increasing compression strength as a function of increased irradiation time, although this corresponded to a reduction in swelling ratio and pore sizes. We ultimately found that when using LAP as a photoinitiator,
the optimal irradiation time was 5–10 seconds, which was suitable for bone tissue engineering application. Ultimately we determined that a 5 second irradiation time was optimal for studies of encapsulated stem cells.

Abstract
Chitosan and alginate hydrogels are attractive because they are highly biocompatible and suitable for developing nanomedicine microcapsules. Here we fabricated a polydimethylsiloxane-based droplet microfluidic reactor to synthesize nanomedicine hydrogel microcapsules using Au@CoFeB-Rg3 as a nanomedicine model and a mixture of sodium alginate and PEG-g-chitosan crosslinked by genipin as a hydrogel model. The release kinetics of nanomedicines from the hydrogel were evaluated by simulating the pH and temperature of the digestive tract during drug transport and those of the target pathological cell microenvironment. Their pH and temperature-dependent release kinetics were studied by measuring the mass loss of small pieces of thin films formed by the nanomedicine-encapsulating hydrogels in buffers of pH 1.2, 7.4, and 5.5, which replicate the pH of the stomach, gut and blood, and cancer microenvironment, respectively, at 20 °C and 37 °C, corresponding to the storage temperature of hydrogels before use and normal body temperature. Interestingly, nanomedicine-encapsulating hydrogels can undergo rapid decomposition at pH 5.5 and are relatively stable at pH 7.4 at 37 °C, which are desirable qualities for drug delivery, controlled release, and residue elimination after achieving target effects. These results indicate that the designed nanomedicine hydrogel microcapsule system is suitable for oral administration.

Abstract
The present study aspires towards fabricating core-sheath fibrous scaffolds by state-of-the-art pressurized gyration for bone tissue engineering applications. The core-sheath fibers comprising dual-phase poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) core and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sheath are fabricated using a novel "co-axial" pressurized gyration method. Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocrystals are embedded in the sheath of the fabricated scaffolds to improve the performance for application as a bone tissue regeneration material. The diameter of the fabricated fiber is 3.97 ± 1.31 µm for PCL-PVA/3%HA while pure PCL-PVA with no HA loading gives 3.03 ± 0.45 µm. Bead-free fiber morphology is ascertained for all sample groups. The chemistry, water contact angle and swelling behavior measurements of the fabricated core-sheath fibrous scaffolds indicate the suitability of the structures in cellular activities. Saos-2 bone osteosarcoma cells are employed to determine the biocompatibility of the scaffolds, wherein none of the scaffolds possess any cytotoxicity effect, while cell proliferation of 94% is obtained for PCL-PVA/5%HA fibers. The alkaline phosphatase activity results suggest the osteogenic activities on the scaffolds begin earlier than day 7. Overall, adaptations of co-axial pressurized gyration provides the flexibility to embed or encapsulate bioactive substances in core-sheath fiber assemblies and is a promising strategy for bone healing.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been widely investigated in biomedical fields due to their similar physical and biochemical properties to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) are the main components of the ECM in many tissues. As a result, hydrogels prepared from collagen and HA hold inherent advantages in mimicking the structure and function of the native ECM. Numerous studies have focused on the development of collagen and HA hydrogels and their biomedical applications. In this extensive review, we provide a summary and analysis of the sources, features, and modifications of collagen and HA. Specifically, we highlight the fabrication, properties, and potential biomedical applications as well as promising commercialization of hydrogels based on these two natural polymers.

Abstract
Over the past few years, amino acids (AA) have emerged as promising biomaterials for the synthesis of functional polymers. Owing to the diversity of functional groups in amino acids, various polymerization methods may be used to make a wide range of well-defined functional amino-acid/peptide-based optically active polymers with varying polymer lengths, compositions, and designs. When incorporated with chirality and self-assembly, they offer a wide range of applications and are particularly appealing in the field of drug delivery, tissue engineering, and biosensing. There are several classes of these polymers that include polyamides (PA), polyesters (PE), poly(ester-amide)s (PEA)s, polyurethanes (PU)s, poly(depsipeptide)s (PDP)s, etc. They offer the ability to control functionality, conjugation, crosslinking, stimuli responsiveness, and tuneable mechanical/thermal properties. In this review, we present the recent advancements in the synthesis strategies for obtaining these amino acid-derived bio-macromolecules, their self-assembly properties, and the wealth of prevalent applications.

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.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a natural glycosaminoglycan present in many tissues of all vertebrates. HA has various biological functions, which are dependent on its molar mass. High-molar-mass HA has anti-angiogenic, immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties, while low-molar-mass HA has opposite effects. HA has also antioxidative properties, however on the other hand it can be readily degraded by reactive oxygen species. For many years it has been used in treatment of osteoarthritis, cosmetics and in ophthalmology. In the last years there has been a growing interest of HA to also be applied in other fields of medicine such as skin wound healing, tissue engineering, dentistry and gene delivery. In this review we summarize information on modes of HA administration, properties and effects of HA in various fields of medicine including recent progress in the investigation of HA.

Abstract
A new double-layer, pH-sensitive, composite hydrogel sustained-release system based on polysaccharides and synthetic polymers with combined functions of different inner/outer hydrogels was prepared. The polysaccharides inner core based on sodium alginate (SA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), was formed by physical crosslinking with pH-sensitive property. The synthetic polymer out-layer with enhanced stability was introduced by chemical crosslinking to eliminate the expansion of inner core and the diffusion of inner content. The physicochemical structure of the double-layer hydrogels was characterized. The drug-release results demonstrated that the sustained-release effect of the hydrogels for different model drugs could be regulated by changing the composition or thickness of the hydrogel layer. The significant sustained-release effect for BSA and indomethacin indicated that the bilayer hydrogel can be developed into a novel sustained delivery system for bioactive substance or drugs with potential applications in drugs and functional foods.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is emerging as an attractive photothermal agent due to its good photothermal performance and excellent biocompatibility. However, without chemical modification, PDA is normally unstable and usually leached out from the constructed biomaterials, realistically limiting its application space. Here, we constructed a new hydrogel dressing with robust and stable photothermal performance by introduction of ε-Polylysine (ε-PL) into agarose/PDA matrix to efficiently lock PDA. By optimizing PDA/ε-PL rational dose in agarose network structure, a hybrid agarose/PDA/ε-PL hydrogel (ADPH) with stable photothermal functionality and desirable physicochemical properties could be achieved. ADPH possessed satisfactory microbicidal efficacy in vivo, which enabled the bacteria-infected skin wound to be cured quickly by successful suppressing inflammation, accelerating collagen deposition and promoting angiogenesis in a bacterial-infected wound model. Collectively, this study illustrates a simple, convenient but powerful strategy to design functionally stable ADPH dressing for treating dermal wounds, which could open vistas in clinical wound management.

Abstract
Demineralized bone matrix (DBM) powder is a potential alternative bone grafting material due to its bone regeneration capacity when the supply of autogenous bone is insufficient. However, the use of DBM powder alone remains challenging in many aspects in the clinic, such as its unstable osteoinductivity due to inactivation of growth factors during the preparation process, lack of bone regeneration cells, and difficulty in handling. Herein, we report a strategy that adopts a dual delivery of DBM powder and hypoxia-pretreated bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) using an injectable self-healing hydrogel to enhance bone regeneration and repair a cranial bone defect in a rabbit model. The injectable self-healing hydrogel was prepared based on a double crosslinking architecture, which comprised a dynamically cross-linked Schiff-base network as a self-healing component and a borax ion cross-linked physical network that strengthened its mechanical properties. The handling of the DBM powder was improved by mixing with the hydrogel, and, more importantly, the expression of osteocalcin (OCN) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) of the encapsulated BMSCs in the hydrogel was significantly up-regulated after hypoxia-pretreatment. The in vivo study demonstrated that the use of the hydrogel alone cannot heal the cranial bone defect, while the hydrogel/BMSC composite could increase the bone formation but was inferior to the hydrogel/DBM composite. Finally, the hydrogel/DBM/BMSC composite exhibited the best bone defect repairing effects among all groups. Overall, our results demonstrate that this dual delivery approach is a promising strategy to enhance bone regeneration for bone defect repair.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone tissue requires novel load bearing, biocompatible materials that support adhesion, spreading, proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, ECM production and maturation of bone-forming cells. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has many advantages as a biomaterial for scaffold production including tuneable biodegradation, relatively high mechanical toughness at physiological temperature. Electrospinning produces nanofibrous porous matrices that mimic many properties of natural tissue extracellular matrix with regard to surface area, porosity and fibre alignment. The biocompatibility and hydrophilicity of PCL nanofibres can be improved by combining PCL with other biomaterials to form composite scaffolds for bone regeneration. This work reviews the most recent research on synthesis, characterization and cellular response to nanofibrous PCL scaffolds and the composites of PCL with other natural and synthetic materials for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Production of a 3D bone construct with high-yield differentiated cells using an appropriate cell source provides a reliable strategy for different purposes such as therapeutic screening of the drugs. Although adult stem cells can be a good source, their application is limited due to invasive procedure of their isolation and low yield of differentiation. Patient-specific human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) can be an alternative due to their long-term self-renewal capacity and pluripotency after several passages, resolving the requirement of a large number of progenitor cells. In this study, a new biphasic 3D-printed collagen-coated HA/β-TCP scaffold was fabricated to provide a 3D environment for the cells. The fabricated scaffolds were characterized by the 3D laser scanning digital microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and mechanical test. Then, the osteogenesis potential of the hiPSC-seeded scaffolds was investigated compared to the buccal fat pad stem cell (BFPSC)-seeded scaffolds through in vitro and in vivo studies. In vitro results demonstrated up-regulated expressions of osteogenesis-related genes of RUNX2, ALP, BMP2, and COL1 compared to the BFPSC-seeded scaffolds. In vivo results on calvarial defects in the rats confirmed a higher bone formation in the hiPSC-seeded scaffolds compared to the BFPSC-seeded groups. The immunofluorescence assay also showed higher expression levels of collagen I and osteocalcin proteins in the hiPSC-seeded scaffolds. It can be concluded that using the hiPSC-seeded scaffolds can lead to a high yield of osteogenesis, and the hiPSCs can be used as a superior stem cell source compared to BFPSCs for bone-like construct bioengineering.

Abstract
Nanocomposite hydrogels consist of polymeric network embedded with functional nanoparticles or nanostructures, which not only contribute to the enhanced mechanical properties but also exhibit the bioactivities for regulating cell behavior. Bisphosphonates (BPs) are capable of coordinating with various metal ions and modulating bone homeostasis. Thanks to the inherent dynamic properties of metal-ligand coordination bonds, BP-based nanocomposite hydrogels possess tunable mechanical properties, highly dynamic structures, and the capability to mediate controlled release of encapsulated therapeutic agents, thereby making them highly versatile for various biomedical applications. This review presents the comprehensive overview of recent developments in BP-based nanocomposite hydrogels with an emphasis on the properties of embedded nanoparticles (NPs) and interactions between hydrogel network and NPs. Furthermore, various challenges in the biomedical applications of these hydrogels are discussed to provide an outlook of potential clinical translation.

Abstract
Composite hydrogels with electrospun nanofibers (NFs) have recently been used to mimic the native extracellular matrix. In this study, composite hydrogels of methacrylated hyaluronic acid containing fragmented polycaprolactone NFs were used for bone tissue engineering. The composite (NF/hydrogel) was crosslinked under ultraviolet (UV) light. The incorporation of fragmented polycaprolactone NFs increased the compression modulus from 1762.5 to 3122.5 Pa. Subsequently, adipose-derived stem cells incorporated into the composite hydrogel exhibited a more stretched and elongated morphology and osteogenic differentiation in the absence of external factors. The mRNA expressions of osteogenic biomarkers, including collagen 1 (Col1), alkaline phosphatase, and runt-related transcription factor 2, were 3-5-fold higher in the composite hydrogel than in the hydrogel alone. In addition, results of the protein expression of Col1 and alizarin red staining confirmed osteogenic differentiation. These findings suggest that our composite hydrogel provides a suitable microenvironment for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cell-based tissue engineering is a promising method for dentin-pulp complex (DPC) regeneration. The challenges associated with DPC regeneration include the generation of a suitable microenvironment that facilitates the complete odontogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) and the rapid induction of angiogenesis. Thus, the survival and subsequent differentiation of DPSCs are limited. Extracellular matrix (ECM)-like biomimetic hydrogels composed of self-assembling peptides (SAPs) were developed to provide an appropriate microenvironment for DPSCs. For functional DPC regeneration, the most important considerations are to provide an environment that promotes the adequate attachment of DPSCs and rapid vascularization of the regenerating pulp. Morphogenic signals in the form of growth factors (GFs) have been incorporated into SAPs to promote productive DPSC behaviors. However, the use of GFs has several drawbacks. We envision using a scaffold with SAPs coupled with long-term factors to increase DPSC attachment and vascularization as a method to address this challenge. METHODS In this study, we developed synthetic material for an SAP-based scaffold with RGD- and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-mimetic peptide epitopes with the dual functions of dentin and pulp regeneration. DPSCs and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were used to evaluate the biological effects of SAP-based scaffolds. Furthermore, the pulpotomized molar rat model was employed to test the reparative and regenerative effects of SAP-based scaffolds. RESULTS This scaffold simultaneously presented RGD- and VEGF-mimetic peptide epitopes and provided a 3D microenvironment for DPSCs. DPSCs grown on this composite scaffold exhibited significantly improved survival and angiogenic and odontogenic differentiation in the multifunctionalized group in vitro. Histological and functional evaluations of a partially pulpotomized rat model revealed that the multifunctionalized scaffold was superior to other options with respect to stimulating pulp recovery and dentin regeneration in vivo. CONCLUSION Based on our data obtained with the functionalized SAP scaffold, a 3D microenvironment that supports stem cell adhesion and angiogenesis was generated that has great potential for dental pulp tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
An uncontrolled hemorrhage can easily lead to death during surgery and military operations. Despite the significant advances in hemostatic research, there is still an urgent and increasing need for safer and more effective hemostatic materials. Recently, nanotechnologies have been receiving increasing interest owing to their unique advantages and have been propelling the developement of hemostatic materials. This review summarizes the fundamentals of hemostasis and emphasizes the recent developments regarding hemorrhage-related hemostatic nanotechnologies. In terms of external accessible hemorrhage management, natural and synthetic polymers and inorganic components that have been used in traditional hemostats provide novel nanoscale solutions. Regarding internal noncompressible hemorrhage management, current research endeavors are dedicated to the development of substitutes for blood components, and nanoformulated hemostatic drugs. This review also briefly discusses the main and persistent problems of hemostatic nanomaterials, including safety concerns and clinical translation challenges. This review is hoped to provide critical insight into hemostatic nanomaterial development.

Abstract
The loss of bone tissue is a striking challenge in orthopedic surgery. Tissue engineering using various advanced biofunctional materials is considered a promising approach for the regeneration and substitution of impaired bone tissues. Recently, polymeric supportive scaffolds and biomaterials have been used to rationally promote the generation of new bone tissues. To restore the bone tissue in this context, biofunctional polymeric materials with significant mechanical robustness together with embedded materials can act as a supportive matrix for cellular proliferation, adhesion, and osteogenic differentiation. The osteogenic regeneration to replace defective tissues demands greater calcium deposits, high alkaline phosphatase activity, and profound upregulation of osteocalcin as a late osteogenic marker. Ideally, the bioactive polymeric scaffolds (BPSs) utilized for bone tissue engineering should impose no detrimental impacts and function as a carrier for the controlled delivery and release of the loaded molecules necessary for the bone tissue regeneration. In this review, we provide comprehensive insights into different synthetic and natural polymers used for the regeneration of bone tissue and discuss various technologies applied for the engineering of BPSs and their physicomechanical properties and biological effects.
