Abstract
Processing cellulose from 4-methyl morpholine n-oxide (NMMO)-water solutions is a completely circular route that produces biodegradable cellulose fibers or films while recovering reusable NMMO [Guo, Y.; Cai, J.; Sun, T.; Xing, L.; Cheng, C.; Chi, K.; Xu, J.; Li, T. The purification process and side reactions in the N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) recovery system. Cellulose 2021, 28(12), 7609-7617]. Despite proven success in two-dimensional applications, challenges in transitioning to three-dimensional objects arise from the critical changes that cellulose undergoes during deposition, regeneration, and postregeneration stages. While emphasizing the critical diffusion-driven precipitation during regeneration, this investigation explores the influence of extrusion temperature, printing alignment, regeneration, and drying processes on interfilament fusion, bonding, shape integrity, and mechanical properties. Three distinct drying processes: ambient, vacuum, and freeze-drying were investigated. Tensile and flexural bending tests provided insight into the delamination of dried specimens. Ambient and vacuum drying enhanced the properties of specimens, while freeze-drying resulted in a more stable shape. The findings contribute to advancing the understanding of 3D-printing cellulose from NMMO solutions, addressing crucial aspects of the extrusion, regeneration, and drying stages for enhanced applications in sustainable manufacturing.

Abstract
Unmet medical needs in treating critical-size bone defects have led to the development of numerous innovative bone tissue engineering implants. Although additive manufacturing allows flexible patient-specific treatments by modifying topological properties with various materials, the development of ideal bone implants that aid new tissue regeneration and reduce post-implantation bone disorders has been limited. Natural biomolecules are gaining the attention of the health industry due to their excellent safety profiles, providing equivalent or superior performances when compared to more expensive growth factors and synthetic drugs. Supplementing additive manufacturing with natural biomolecules enables the design of novel multifunctional bone implants that provide controlled biochemical delivery for bone tissue engineering applications. Controlled release of naturally derived biomolecules from a three-dimensional (3D) printed implant may improve implant-host tissue integration, new bone formation, bone healing, and blood vessel growth. The present review introduces us to the current progress and limitations of 3D printed bone implants with drug delivery capabilities, followed by an in-depth discussion on cutting-edge technologies for incorporating natural medicinal compounds embedded within the 3D printed scaffolds or on implant surfaces, highlighting their applications in several pre- and post-implantation bone-related disorders.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of polymer chains containing large amounts of water in their structure. Hydrogels have received significant attention in biomedical applications owing to their attractive physicochemical properties, including flexibility, softness, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Different natural and synthetic polymers have been intensely explored in developing hydrogels for the desired applications. Biopolymers-based hydrogels have advantages over synthetic polymers regarding improved cellular activity and weak immune response. These properties can be further improved by grafting with other polymers or adding nanomaterials, and they structurally mimic the living tissue environments, which opens their broad applicability. The hydrogels can be physically or chemically cross-linked depending on the structure. The use of different biopolymers-based hydrogels in biomedical applications has been reviewed and discussed earlier. However, no report is still available to comprehensively introduce the synthesis, advantages, disadvantages, and biomedical applications of biopolymers-based hydrogels from the material point of view. Herein, we systematically overview different synthesis methods of hydrogels and provide a holistic approach to biopolymers-based hydrogels for biomedical applications, especially in bone regeneration, wound healing, drug delivery, bioimaging, and therapy. The current challenges and prospects of biopolymers-based hydrogels are highlighted rationally, giving an insight into the progress of these hydrogels and their practical applications.

Abstract
Recreating the intricate mechanical and functional gradients found in natural tissues through additive manufacturing poses significant challenges, including the need for precise control over time and space and the availability of versatile biomaterial inks. In this proof-of-concept study, we developed a new biomaterial ink for direct ink writing, allowing the creation of 3D structures with tailorable functional and mechanical gradients. Our ink formulation combined multifunctional cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), allyl-functionalized gelatin (0.8-2.0 wt%), and polyethylene glycol dithiol (3.0-7.5 wt%). The CNF served as a rheology modifier, whereas a concentration of 1.8 w/v % in the inks was chosen for optimal printability and shape fidelity. In addition, CNFs were functionalized with azido groups, enabling the spatial distribution of functional moieties within a 3D structure. These functional groups were further modified using a spontaneous click chemistry reaction. Through additive manufacturing and a readily available static mixer, we successfully demonstrated the fabrication of mechanical gradients - ranging from 3 to 6 kPa in indentation strength - and functional gradients. Additionally, we introduced dual gradients by combining gradient printing with an anisotropic photocrosslinking step. The developed biomaterial ink opens up possibilities for printing intricate multigradient structures, resembling the complex hierarchical organization seen in living tissues.

Abstract
We review the recent progress that have led to the development of porous materials based on cellulose nanostructures found in plants and other resources. In light of the properties that emerge from the chemistry, shape and structural control, we discuss some of the most promising uses of a plant-based material, nanocellulose, in regenerative medicine. Following a brief discussion about the fundamental aspects of self-assembly of nanocellulose precursors, we review the key strategies needed for material synthesis and to adjust the architecture of the materials (using three-dimensional printing, freeze-casted porous materials, and electrospinning) according to their uses in tissue engineering, artificial organs, controlled drug delivery and wound healing systems, among others. For this purpose, we map the structure-property-function relationships of nanocellulose-based porous materials and examine the course of actions that are required to translate innovation from the laboratory to industry. Such efforts require attention to regulatory aspects and market pull. Finally, the key challenges and opportunities in this nascent field are critically reviewed.

Abstract
Hydrogels with tailor-made swelling-shrinkable properties have aroused considerable interest in numerous biomedical domains. For example, as swelling is a key issue for blood and wound extrudates absorption, the transference of nutrients and metabolites, as well as drug diffusion and release, hydrogels with high swelling capacity have been widely applicated in full-thickness skin wound healing and tissue regeneration, and drug delivery. Nevertheless, in the fields of tissue adhesives and internal soft-tissue wound healing, and bioelectronics, non-swelling hydrogels play very important functions owing to their stable macroscopic dimension and physical performance in physiological environment. Moreover, the negative swelling behavior (i.e., shrinkage) of hydrogels can be exploited to drive noninvasive wound closure, and achieve resolution enhancement of hydrogel scaffolds. In addition, it can help push out the entrapped drugs, thus promote drug release. However, there still has not been a general review of the constructions and biomedical applications of hydrogels from the viewpoint of swelling-shrinkable properties. Therefore, this review summarizes the tactics employed so far in tailoring the swelling-shrinkable properties of hydrogels and their biomedical applications. And a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current progress and future challenge of the hydrogels with different swelling-shrinkable features is provided for potential clinical translations.

Abstract
Protein-based biomaterials, particularly amyloids, have sparked considerable scientific interest in recent years due to their exceptional mechanical strength, excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. In this work, we have synthesized a novel amyloid-based composite hydrogel consisting of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and aloe vera (AV) gel to utilize the medicinal properties of the AV gel and circumvent its mechanical frangibility. The synthesized composite hydrogel demonstrated an excellent porous structure, self-fluorescence, non-toxicity, and controlled rheological properties. Moreover, this hydrogel possesses inherent antioxidant and antibacterial properties, which accelerate the rapid healing of wounds. The in vitro wound healing capabilities of the synthesized composite hydrogel were evaluated using 3T3 fibroblast cells. Moreover, the efficacy of the hydrogel in accelerating chronic wound healing via collagen crosslinking was investigated through in vivo experiments using a diabetic mouse skin model. The findings indicate that the composite hydrogel, when applied, promotes wound healing by inducing collagen deposition and upregulating the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors. We also demonstrate the feasibility of the 3D printing of the BSA-AV hydrogel, which can be tailored to treat various types of wound. The 3D printed hydrogel exhibits excellent shape fidelity and mechanical properties that can be utilized for personalized treatment and rapid chronic wound healing. Taken together, the BSA-AV hydrogel has great potential as a bio-ink in tissue engineering as a dermal substitute for customizable skin regeneration.

Abstract
3D printing has been recently recognized as one of the most promising technologies due to the multiple options to fabricate cost-effective and customizable objects. However, the necessity to substitute fossil fuels as raw materials is increasing the research on bio-based inks with recyclable and eco-friendly properties. In this work, we formulated inks for the 3D printing of ionogels and hydrogels with bleached kraft pulp dissolved in [Emim][DMP] at different concentrations (1-4 wt%). We explored each ink's rheological properties and printability and compared the printability parameters with a commercial ink. The rheological results showed that the 3 % and 4 % cellulose-ionic liquid inks exhibited the best properties. Both had values of damping factor between 0.4 and 0.7 and values of yield stress between 1900 and 2500 Pa. Analyzing the printability, the 4 wt% ink was selected as the most promising because the printed ionogels and the hydrogels had the best print resolution and fidelity, similar to the reference ink. After printing, ionogels and hydrogels had values of the elastic modulus (G') between 103 and 104 Pa, and the ionogels are recyclables. Altogether, these 3D printed cellulose ionogels and hydrogels may have an opportunity in the electrochemical and medical fields, respectively.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NCs) are appealing nanomaterials that have experienced rapid development in recent years, with great potential in the biomedical field. This trend aligns with the increasing demand for sustainable materials, which will contribute both to an improvement in wellbeing and an extension of human life, and with the demand to keep up with advances in medical technology. In recent years, due to the diversity of their physical and biological properties and the possibility of tuning them according to the desired goal, these nanomaterials represent a point of maximum interest in the medical field. Applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound dressing, medical implants or those in cardiovascular health are some of the applications in which NCs have been successfully used. This review presents insight into the latest medical applications of NCs, in the forms of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), with an emphasis on the domains that have recently experienced remarkable growth, namely wound dressing, tissue engineering and drug delivery. In order to highlight only the most recent achievements, the presented information is focused on studies from the last 3 years. Approaches to the preparation of NCs are discussed either by top-down (chemical or mechanical degradation) or by bottom-up (biosynthesis) techniques, along with their morphological characterization and unique properties, such as mechanical and biological properties. Finally, the main challenges, limitations and future research directions of NCs are identified in a sustained effort to identify their effective use in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Engineering the rheological properties of colloidal inks is one of the main challenges in achieving high-fidelity 3D printing. Herein, we provide a comprehensive study on the rheological behavior of inks based on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in the presence of given salts to enable high-quality 3D printing. The rheological properties of the CNC suspensions are tailored by considering the nature of the electrolyte (i.e., 10 types of salts featuring different ion sizes, charge numbers, and inter- and intra-molecular interactions) at various concentrations (25-100 mM). A high printing fidelity is achieved in a narrow CNC and salt concentration range, significantly depending on the salt type. The structure-property relationship is explored in a "3D-printing" space (2D map), introducing a guideline for researchers active in this field. To further unravel the effect of salt type on morphological properties, CNC aerogels are developed by freeze-drying the printed structures. The results illustrate that enhancing viscoelastic properties render a denser structure featuring smaller pores.

Enhancing the Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Waterborne Polyurethane-Urea and Cellulose Nanocrystal Scaffolds through Crosslinking. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14224999.

Abstract
In this work, shape-customized scaffolds based on waterborne polyurethane-urea (WBPUU) were prepared via the combination of direct ink writing 3D-printing and freeze-drying techniques. To improve the printing performance of the ink and guarantee a good shape fidelity of the scaffold, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were added during the synthesis of the WBPUU and some of the printed constructs were immersed in CaCl2 prior to the freeze-drying process to promote ionic crosslinking between calcium ions and the polyurethane. The results showed that apart from allowing the ink to be successfully printed, obtaining scaffolds with good shape fidelity, the addition of the CNC resulted in a greater homogeneity of the porous structure as well as an increase of the swelling capacity of the scaffolds. Additionally, the CNC has a reinforcement effect in the printed systems, presenting a higher compression modulus as the CNC content increases. In the case of samples crosslinked by calcium ions, a rigid shell was observed by scanning electron microscopy, which resulted in stiffer scaffolds that presented a lower water absorption capacity as well as an enhancement of the thermal stability. These results showed the potential of this type of post-printing process to tune the mechanical properties of the scaffold, thus widening the potential of this type of material.

Abstract
Self-healing hydrogels have great application potential in the field of bio-sensors due to their self-healing, flexibility and excellent tensile properties. However, most hydrogel-based sensors are processed by template method, which is unable to fabricate complex three-dimensional (3D) structures, and limits the development of hydrogel-based sensor devices. A simple yet efficient one-pot method was proposed to fabricate polyvinyl alcohol/sodium tetraborate/sodium alginate hydrogel inks (SPB), also a fabricating process of self-healing hydrogel based on 3D printing technology has been proposed. The SPB hydrogel rapidly healed (<30 s) at room temperature, while its mechanical properties and conductivity also recovered quickly after healing. Besides, it could be used as wearable strain sensors, whose high stretchability (>2800 % strain) and sensitivity (gauge factor: 18.56 at 2000 % strain) could not only detect very large stretch deformations, but also detect the tiny pressure changes in the human body, such as finger flexion, knee flexion, and respiration. This study provides a method for the rapid fabrication of complex-structured hydrogel-based sensors, which is helpful for the hydrogel-based sensor applications in human motion detection and wearable devices.

Abstract
This research investigated the effects of ultrasound application (192 ± 6 W/L) on the microstructure of vegetables/fruits with different porosities, cell sizes and patterns (eggplants, beetroots, and apples), submitted to an immersion treatment in different liquids: distilled water, citric acid (1% w/v), and the vegetable/fruit juice, at 25 °C during 5 min. The ultrasound application did not significantly (p > 0.05) affect the size of the cells of the most porous material (eggplant) compared to the samples immersed without ultrasound assistance. The apple samples (with a middle-high porosity and the largest cells) were the most affected by ultrasound application. The median cell areas of samples treated with ultrasound in water and apple juice were 26 and 20% larger than those of samples treated without ultrasound, mainly because of cell wall disruption which caused the cells to merge into bigger clusters, but no effect was observed with the citric acid. Ultrasound application significantly (p < 0.05) increased the median cell area of the less porous raw matter (beetroot) only when the treatment was carried out in the vegetable juice (cells were 26% larger after treatment assisted with ultrasound than without it). Thus, the effects of ultrasound differ in materials with initially different characteristics.

Abstract
Producing hydrogels capable of mimicking the biomechanics of soft tissue remains a challenge. We explore the potential of plant-based hydrogels as polysaccharide tragacanth gum and antioxidant lignin nanoparticles in bioactive multicomponent hydrogels for tissue engineering. These natural components are combined with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils, a material with known shear thinning behavior. Hydrogels presented tragacanth gum (TG) concentration-dependent rheological properties suitable for extrusion 3D printing. TG enhanced the swelling capacity up to 645 % and the degradation rate up to 1.3 %/day for hydrogels containing 75 % of TG. Young's moduli of the hydrogels varied from 5.0 to 11.6 kPa and were comparable to soft tissues like skin and muscle. In vitro cell viability assays revealed that the scaffolds were non-toxic and promoted proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells. Therefore, the plant-based hydrogels designed in this work have a significant potential for tissue engineering.

Abstract
To explore the active polysaccharides from Dendrobium devonianum, a novel O-acetylmannan (DDP-1) with molecular weight of 117 kDa was isolated from D. devonianum. The chemical and instrumental analysis indicated that the DDP-1 was a homopolysaccharide containing a backbone chain composed of →4)-β-d-Manp-(1 → (71.4%) residue with internal →4)-2-O-acetyl-β-d-Manp-(1 → (14.2%), →4)-3-O-acetyl-β-d-Manp-(1 → (7.1%), and non-reducing end β-d-Manp-(1 → (7.3%) residues. Anticancer assay in vitro revealed that DDP-1 had anticancer activity against the growth of HepG2 and MCF-7 cancer cells. Moreover, cytokine secretion assays also presented that DDP-1 can promote cytokine production of TNF-α and IL-6 in THP-1 macrophage stimulated by PMA. Finally, the effects of isolation and purification on the microstructure of DDP-1 was studied by scanning electron microscope. The morphological features of DDP-1 indicated that DDP-1 hold high potential application in hydrophilic polymer materials.

Abstract
Direct ink writing via single or multihead extrusion is used to synthesize layer-by-layer (LbL) meshes comprising renewable polysaccharides. The best mechanical performance (683 ± 63 MPa modulus and 2.5 ± 0.4 MPa tensile strength) is observed for 3D printed structures with full infill density, given the role of electrostatic complexation between the oppositely charged components (chitosan and cellulose nanofibrils). The LbL structures develop an unexpectedly high wet stability that undergoes gradual weight loss at neutral and slightly acidic pH. The excellent biocompatibility and noncytotoxicity toward human monocyte/macrophages and controllable shrinkage upon solvent exchange make the cellular meshes appropriate for use as biomedical implants.

Abstract
The significant challenges in the use of cellulose as a replacement for plastic are its mechanical properties' degradation and uncontrolled deformation during the rewetting process. Herein, inspired by the reinforcement of cellulose by lignin in natural plant tissue, a strong and water-stable lignin-cellulose composite (LCC) was developed. A nanocellulose hybrid lignin complex (CHLC) created from bagasse residue after enzymatic hydrolysis was added into a pulp of bleached fibre extracted from pine to produce a lignin-cellulose sheet. The lignin as a water-stable reinforcing matrix, via the hydrogen bonding of the nanocellulose in the CHLC with the fibre was efficiently introduced onto the fibres and the fibre network voids. Compared with a typical lignin-free cellulose sheet, the dry strength and wet strength of the LCC were 218% and 2233% higher, respectively. The developed LCC is an eco-friendly and biodegradable alternative to plastic.

Abstract
The emergence of clinical complications and therapeutic challenges for treating various diseases necessitate the discovery of novel restorative functional materials. Polymer-based drug delivery systems have been extensively reported in the last two decades. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the progression of natural biopolymers based controlled therapeutic strategies, especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. However, the solubility and functionalisation due to their complex network structure and intramolecular bonding seem challenging. This review explores the current advancement and prospects of the most promising natural polymers such as cellulose, starch and their derivatives-based drug delivery vehicles like hydrogels, films and composites, in combating major ailments such as bone infections, microbial infections, and cancers. In addition, selective drug targeting using metal-drug (MD) and MD-based polymeric missiles have been exciting but challenging for its application in cancer therapeutics. Owing to high biocompatibility of starch and cellulose, these materials have been extensively evaluated in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
We proposed a simple method to process hydrogels containing polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanofibrils (PVA/CNF) to prepare volumetric architectures by direct ink writing (DIW). The presence of CNF in the aqueous PVA suspensions conferred rheology profiles that were suitable for extrusion and solidification in pre-designed shapes. The viscoelastic behavior of the hybrid inks enabled precise control on processability and shape retention, for instance, as demonstrated in multilayered lattice structures of high fidelity. After lyophilization, the obtained 3D-printed hydrogels presented a very high porosity, with open and interconnected pores, allowing a high-water uptake capacity (up to 1600%). The mechanical strength of the composite 3D-printed materials matched those of soft tissues, opening opportunities for skin applications. As such, drug-loaded samples revealed a controlled and efficient delivery of an antioxidant (ascorbic acid) in PBS buffer media at 23 °C (~80% for 8 h). Altogether, PVA/CNF hydrogels were introduced as suitable precursors of 3D-lattice geometries with excellent physical and mechanical characteristics.

Abstract
Chitosan-pectin hydrogels were prepared, and their rheological properties were assessed in order to select the best system to develop scaffolds by 3D printing. Hydrogels showed a weak gel behavior with shear thinning flow properties, caused by the physical interactions formed between both polysaccharides, as observed by FTIR analysis. Since systems with high concentration of pectin showed aggregations, the system composed of 2 wt% chitosan and 2 wt% pectin (CHI2PEC2) was selected for 3D printing. 3D printed scaffolds showed good shape accuracy, and SEM and XRD analyses revealed a homogeneous and amorphous structure. Moreover, scaffolds were stable and kept their shape and size after a cycle of compression sweeps. Their integrity was also maintained after immersion in PBS at 37 °C, showing a high swelling capacity, suitable for exudate absorption in wound healing applications.

Abstract
Cellulose is one of the important biomass materials in nature and has shown wide applications in various fields from materials science, biomedicine, tissue engineering, wearable devices, energy, and environmental science, as well as many others. Due to their one-dimensional nanostructure, high specific surface area, excellent biodegradability, low cost, and high sustainability, cellulose nanofibrils/nanofibers (CNFs) have been widely used for environmental science applications in the last years. In this review, we summarize the advance in the design, synthesis, and water purification applications of CNF-based functional nanomaterials. To achieve this aim, we firstly introduce the synthesis and functionalization of CNFs, which are further extended for the formation of CNF hybrid materials by combining with other functional nanoscale building blocks, such as polymers, biomolecules, nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and two-dimensional (2D) materials. Then, the fabrication methods of CNF-based 2D membranes/films, three-dimensional (3D) hydrogels, and 3D aerogels are presented. Regarding the environmental science applications, CNF-based nanomaterials for the removal of metal ions, anions, organic dyes, oils, and bio-contents are demonstrated and discussed in detail. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this promising research field are discussed. It is expected that this topical review will guide and inspire the design and fabrication of CNF-based novel nanomaterials with high sustainability for practical applications.

Abstract
In the present study, alginate/cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM)-based injectable hydrogel was developed incorporated with silk fibroin nanofibers (SFN) for cartilage tissue engineering. The in situ forming hydrogels were composed of different ionic crosslinked alginate concentrations with 1% w/v enzymatically crosslinked phenolized cartilage ECM, resulting in an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). The response surface methodology (RSM) approach was applied to optimize IPN hydrogel's mechanical properties by varying alginate and SFN concentrations. The results demonstrated that upon increasing the alginate concentration, the compression modulus improved. The SFN concentration was optimized to reach a desired mechanical stiffness. Accordingly, the concentrations of alginate and SFN to have an optimum compression modulus in the hydrogel were found to be 1.685 and 1.724% w/v, respectively. The gelation time was found to be about 10 s for all the samples. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed homogeneous dispersion of the SFN in the hydrogel, mimicking the natural cartilage environment. Furthermore, water uptake capacity, degradation rate, cell cytotoxicity, and glycosaminoglycan and collagen II secretions were determined for the optimum hydrogel to support its potential as an injectable scaffold for articular cartilage defects.
