[PMID: 38569977 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124073] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Traumatic multidrug-resistant bacterial infections are the most threat to wound healing. Lower extremity wounds under diabetic conditions display a significant delay during the healing process. To overcome these challenges, the utilization of protein-based nanocomposite dressings is crucial in implementing a successful regenerative medicine approach. These dressings hold significant potential as polymer scaffolds, allowing them to mimic the properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM). So, the objective of this study was to develop a nanocomposite film using dialdehyde-xanthan gum/soy protein isolate incorporated with propolis (PP) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) (DXG-SPI/PP/HNTs). In this protein-polysaccharide hybrid system, the self-healing capability was demonstrated through Schiff bonds, providing a favorable environment for cell encapsulation in the field of tissue engineering. To improve the properties of the DXG-SPI film, the incorporation of polyphenols found in PP, particularly flavonoids, is proposed. The synthesized films were subjected to investigations regarding degradation, degree of swelling, and mechanical characteristics. Additionally, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) were introduced into the DXG-SPI/PP nanocomposite films as a reinforcing filler with varying concentrations of 3 %, 5 %, and 7 % by weight. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis confirmed the proper embedding and dispersion of HNTs onto the DXG-SPI/PP nanocomposite films, leading to functional interfacial interactions. The structure and crystallinity of the synthesized nanocomposite films were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Moreover, the developed DXG-SPI/PP/HNTs nanocomposite films significantly improved cell growth of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells in the presence of PP and HNTs, indicating their cytocompatibility. The antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite was evaluated against Escherichia coli (E. Coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. Aureus), which are commonly associated with wound infections. Overall, our findings suggest that the synthesis of DXG-SPI/PP/HNTs nanocomposite scaffolds holds great promise as a clinically relevant biomaterial and exhibits strong potential for numerous challenging biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bacterial infection represents a prevalent challenge during the bone repair process, often resulting in implant failure. However, the extensive use of antibiotics has limited local antibacterial effects at the infection site and is prone to side effects. In order to address the issue of bacterial infection during the transplantation of bone implants, four types of bone scaffold implants with long-term antimicrobial functionality have been constructed, including direct contact antimicrobial scaffold, dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold, photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold, and multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold. The direct contact antimicrobial scaffold involves the physical penetration or disruption of bacterial cell membranes by the scaffold surface or hindrance of bacterial adhesion through surface charge, microstructure, and other factors. The dissolution-penetration antimicrobial scaffold releases antimicrobial substances from the scaffold's interior through degradation and other means to achieve local antimicrobial effects. The photocatalytic antimicrobial scaffold utilizes the absorption of light to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) with enhanced chemical reactivity for antimicrobial activity. ROS can cause damage to bacterial cell membranes, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), proteins, and other components. The multimodal synergistic antimicrobial scaffold involves the combined use of multiple antimicrobial methods to achieve synergistic effects and effectively overcome the limitations of individual antimicrobial approaches. Additionally, the biocompatibility issues of the antimicrobial bone scaffold are also discussed, including in vitro cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, as well as in vivo bone repair and vascularization. Finally, the challenges and prospects of antimicrobial bone implants are summarized. The development of antimicrobial bone implants can provide effective solutions to bacterial infection issues in bone defect repair in the foreseeable future.

Abstract
One of the most common systems for bone tissue engineering is polymeric scaffolds. However, the low mechanical properties of polymeric scaffolds, considering the properties required for bone replacement tissue, are the main challenge for researchers in this field. For bone tissue engineering, this research prepared nanocomposite scaffolds based on polyvinyl alcohol-chitosan containing modified clay and hydroxyapatite (HAp). HAp used in these 3D scaffolds was synthesized from a chicken femur, and Cloisite 30B clay nanoparticles were modified by graphene oxide and Fe3O4 nanoparticles to strengthen their mechanical properties. Sample characteristics were determined using FT-IR, XRD, SEM, TGA, swelling rate, laboratory degradation, and biological and mechanical properties. These analyses showed that 2% of modified clay (C30B/GO/Fe3O4, CGF) inside the nanocomposite scaffold increased the compressive strength 23 times compared to the pristine polymer scaffold. Also, adding HAp particles and modified clay simultaneously increased the mineralization on the surface of the scaffolds. Final nanocomposite scaffolds were found to have a compressive strength of 9.31 MPa, a porosity of 75 %, and a porosity size of 50 nm and were in the range of cancellous bone. The final swelling amount is 1790 %, which is the amount that is Favorable for bone scaffold. Finally, the analysis results to determine the samples' toxicity showed that none of the prepared scaffolds were toxic and showed good cell viability.

Abstract
Over the past five years, there has been growing interest in the design of modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as nanoscale antimicrobial agents in potential end-user applications such as food preservation/packaging, additive manufacturing, biomedical and water purification. The interest of applying CNCs-based antimicrobial agents arise due to their abilities to be derived from renewable bioresources and their excellent physicochemical properties including rod-like morphologies, large specific surface area, low toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability and sustainability. The presence of ample surface hydroxyl groups further allows easy chemical surface modifications for the design of advanced functional CNCs-based antimicrobial materials. Furthermore, CNCs are used to support antimicrobial agents that are subjected to instability issues. The current review summarizes recent progress in CNC-inorganic hybrid-based materials (Ag and Zn nanoparticles, other metal/metal oxide) and CNC-organic hybrid-based materials (polymers, chitosan, simple organic molecules). It focuses on their design, syntheses and applications with a brief discussion on their probable modes of antimicrobial action whereby the roles of CNCs and/or the antimicrobial agents are highlighted.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a major challenge that could threaten the patient's life in repairing bone defects with implant materials. Developing functional scaffolds with an intelligent antibacterial function that can be used for bone repair is very important. We constructed a drug delivery (HA@TA-CS/SA) scaffold with curcumin-loaded dendritic mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles (DMON@Cur) via 3D printing for antibacterial bone repair. Inspired by the adhesion mechanism of mussels, the HA@TA-CS/SA scaffold of hydroxyapatite (HA) and chitosan (CS) is bridged by tannic acid (TA), which in turn binds sodium alginate (SA) using electrostatic interactions. The results showed that the HA@TA-CS/SA composite scaffold had better mechanical properties compared with recent literature data, reaching 68.09 MPa. It displayed excellent degradation and mineralization capabilities with strong biocompatibility in vitro. Furthermore, the antibacterial test results indicated that the curcumin-loaded scaffold inhibited S.aureus and E.coli with 99.99% and 96.56% effectiveness, respectively. These findings show that 3D printed curcumin-loaded HA@TA-CS/SA scaffold has considerable promise for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The physical and chemical properties of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were regulated by physical crosslinking with chitosan particles (CSp). At a fixed concentration (0.5 wt%) of CNC, varying CSp concentration (0.02-0.5 wt%) influenced the morphologies and chemical properties of the obtained complex particles (CNC-CSp). The results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and zeta potential confirmed the electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions between CSp and CNC. At a low CSp concentration (0.02-0.05 wt%), the charge shielding effect induced the formation of particle aggregation networks, thus showing increased viscosity, turbidity and size (153.4-2605.7 nm). At a higher CSp concentration (0.1-0.5 wt%), the hydrogen bonding interaction promoted CSp adsorption onto the surface of CNC, thus facilitating the dispersion of CNC-CSp due to electrostatic repulsion caused by surface-adsorbed CSp. In addition, CSp improved the thermal stability, hydrophobicity (41.87-60.02°) and rheological properties of CNC. Compared with CNC, CNC-CSp displayed a better emulsifying ability and emulsion stability, in which CSp could play a dual role (i.e., charge regulator and stabilizer). This study suggests that introducing CSp can improve the properties and application potentials of CNC as food colloids.

Abstract
Researchers have examined different bio-inspired materials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine to fabricate scaffolds to address tendon regeneration requirements. We developed fibers based on alginate (Alg) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) by wet-spinning technique to mimic the fibrous sheath of ECM. Various proportions (25:75, 50:50, 75:25) of 1 % Alg and 4 % HEC were blended to this aim. Two steps of crosslinking with different concentrations of CaCl2 (2.5 and 5 %) and glutaraldehyde (2.5 %) were used to improve physical and mechanical properties. The fibers were characterized by FTIR, SEM, swelling, degradation, and tensile tests. The in vitro proliferation, viability, and migration of tenocytes on the fibers were also evaluated. Moreover, the biocompatibility of implanted fibers was investigated in an animal model. The results showed ionic and covalent molecular interactions between the components. In addition, by properly maintaining surface morphology, fiber alignment, and swelling, lower concentrations of HEC in the blending provided good degradability and mechanical features. The mechanical strength of fibers was in the range of collagenous fibers. Increasing the crosslinking led to significantly different mechanical behaviors in terms of tensile strength and elongation at break. Because of good in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility, tenocyte proliferation, and migration, the biological macromolecular fibers could serve as desirable tendon substitutes. This study provides more practical insight into tendon tissue engineering in translational medicine.

Abstract
One significant aspect of the current therapeutic agents employed in wound healing involves the engineering of nano polymeric scaffolds to mimic the properties of extracellular matrix (ECM). The present work aimed to prepare and evaluate Eudragit® L100 (EU) nanofibers in combination with soy protein isolate (SPI). Allantoin (Ala) with a 2 wt% was encapsulated as a model drug renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents. Moreover, the synthesized ZnO-halloysite nanotubes (ZHNTs) with different concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 wt% were incorporated into the EU/SPI/Ala nanofiber as a reinforcing filler and a remarkable antibacterial agent. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis showed that by increasing the weight percentage of SPI from 1 % to 2.5 %, the average diameter of nanofibers decreased from 132.3 ± 51.3 nm to 126.7 ± 47.2 nm. It was 223.5 ± 95.6 nm for nanofibers containing 5 wt% ZHNTs (the optimal sample). The evaluation of in vitro release kinetics of Ala for 24 h, showed a burst release during the first 2 h and a sustained release during the subsequent times. Moreover, the structure, crystallinity, and thermal stability of synthesized nanofibers were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. In vitro degradation and mechanical characteristics of these nanofibers were studied. Furthermore, the capability of the nanofibers for cell proliferation was revealed through the MTT test and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) images of cell attachment. The antimicrobial activity of EU/SPI/Ala/ZHNTs showed that this sample with high ZHNTs content (5 w%t) had the most remarkable antibacterial activity against S. aureus. The results revealed that EU/SPI/Ala/ZHNTs mats could be promising potential wound dressings.

Abstract
Halloysite nanotubes (HNT) were coated five times with dopamine (DOPA) in a tris buffer medium at pH 8.5 to acquire polydopamine-coated HNTs (PDOPA@HNT), e.g., PDOPA1@HNT, PDOPA3@HNT, and PDOPA5@HNT. Upon coating HNT with PDOPA, the surface area, pore volume, and pore size were decreased depending on the number of coatings. While the surface area of HNT was 57.9 m2/g, by increasing the number of coatings from 1 to 5, it was measured as 55.9, 53.4, 53.3, 47.4, and 46.4 m2/g, respectively. The isoelectric point (IEP) for HNTs was determined as 4.68, whereas these values are estimated as 2.31 for PDOPA1@HNTs, 3.49 for PDOPA3@HNT, and 3.55 for PDOPA5@HNT. Three different antioxidant studies were conducted for HNT and PDOPA@HNT, and the total phenol (TPC) value of HNT was found to be 150.5 ± 45.9 µmol gallic acid (GA) equivalent. The TPC values for PDOPA1@HNT, PDOPA3@HNT and PDOPA5@HNT coatings were found to be 405.5 ± 25.0, 750.0 ± 69.9, and 1348.3 ± 371.7 µmol GA equivalents, respectively. The Fe(II) chelation capacity of HNT was found to be 20.5% ± 1.2%, while the PDOPA1@HNT, PDOPA3@HNT and PDOPA5@HNT values were found to be 49.9 ± 6.5, 36.6 ± 12.7 and 25.4 ± 1.2%, respectively. HNT and PDOPA@HNTs inhibited the α-glucosidase (AG) enzyme to greater extents than acetylcholinesterase (AChE). As a result, the DOPA modification of HNTs was rendered to provide additional characteristics, e.g., antioxidant properties and higher AChE and AG enzymes inhibition capabilities. Therefore, PDOPA@HNTs have great potential as biomaterials.

Abstract
Cancer is a complex disease that starts with genetic alterations and mutations in healthy cells. The past decade has witnessed a huge demand for new biocompatibility and high-performance intelligent drug delivery systems. Curcumin (CUR) is a bioactive stimulant with numerous medical benefits. However, because of its hydrophobic nature, it has low bioavailability. The utilization of many biobased materials has been found to improve the loading of hydrophobic drugs. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with exceptional qualities and a wide range of applications, feature strong hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, great emulsification stability, high crystallinity and outstanding mechanical attributes. In this review, numerous CNCs-based composites have been evaluated for involvement in the controlled release of CUR. The first part of the review deals with recent advancements in the extraction of CNCs from lignocellulose biomass. The second elaborates some recent developments in the post-processing of CNCs in conjunction with other materials like natural polymers, synthetic polymers, β-CD, and surfactants for CUR loading/encapsulation and controlled release. Furthermore, numerous CUR drug delivery systems, challenges, and techniques for effective loading/encapsulation of CUR on CNCs-based composites have been presented. Finally, conclusions and future outlooks are also explored.

Abstract
Recently, the use of bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) produced by Acetobacter, which has suitable properties for tissue engineering application as a perfect wound dressing, has attracted considerable attention. For this purpose, we successfully developed honey loaded BNC-reinforced gelatin/dialdehyde-modified
guar gum films (H/BNC/Ge/D-GG). Prepared films were studied for their morphological, thermal stability, mechanical, water solubility and degradability properties. The physicochemical properties of the developed films with or without honey loading were studied. The results indicated that by
enhancing the honey content of the film, the degradation behavior, adhesion and proliferation of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells were improved. The films with 15 wt% of honey revealed inhibition activity against S. aureus (13.0±0.1 mm) and E. coli (15.0±1.0 mm) bacteria.
Cell culture results demonstrated that the prepared films had good cytocompatibility. Based on the results, the prepared H/BNC/Ge/D-GG films appear to have high potential for antibacterial wound dressings.

Abstract
Promoting the in situ regeneration of cartilage without additional cells or cytokines remains challenging. Here, inspired by the unique microstructures of subchondral bone, a cell and cytokine free hydrogel scaffold for cartilage regeneration was developed via a strategy of directional lyophilization and postcrosslinking. This strategy achieved intersecting microchannels in an orderly arrangement and an aligned ladder-like texture in a semi-interpenetrating hydrogel network. The resulting hydrogel had similar mechanical properties to the native cartilage extracellular matrix. Incorporating chitosan into the rigid network also endowed the hydrogel with excellent hemostatic properties. By delicately tuning the components and postcrosslinking conditions, the hydrogel was further endowed with suitable swelling and degradation properties for cartilage regeneration. In vitro tests showed that the highly biocompatible hydrogel scaffold could facilitate the migration and chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. In vivo results further verified that the hydrogel could promote the in situ regeneration of cartilage in a rat model of osteochondral defects. In summary, the subchondral bone-like hydrogel revealed promising prospects in cartilage regeneration and a variety of bioremediation applications.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 218:488-505. [PMID: 35878666 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.07.150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 07/17/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
A new kind of Camellia sinensis-loaded nanocomposite hydrogel based on modified gelatin/iron-metal-organic framework was developed as an antibacterial wound dressing. Gelatin as a biocompatible natural polymer was modified with methacrylate anhydride to produce gelatin methacrylate. Thereafter, acrylic acid and acrylamide were grafted on gelatin methacrylate during an aqueous polymerization process. To enhance the porosity, mechanical strength, and drug loading capability of the hydrogel and reduce its toxicity, iron- based metal-organic framework was incorporated within the hydrogel. To add more functionality to the final wound dressing, Camellia sinensis, an antibacterial herbal drug was loaded on the hydrogel. The structural and chemical properties of prepared nanocomposite hydrogel were investigated by FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TGA techniques. The incorporation of iron-based metal-organic framework within the hydrogel matrix led to an increase in its water absorption value from 400.10 to 547.96 (g/g). The release study of Camellia sinensis (CS) extract from the prepared nanocomposite hydrogel exhibited a sustained release manner. The antibacterial test revealed the nanocomposite hydrogel contain extract has an effective antibacterial function against "Bacillus serous", "Staphylococcus aureus", "Streptococcus mutans"," Escherichia coli", "Klebsiella pneumoniae", and "Pseudomonas aeruginosa" bacteria. Therefore, the synthesized nanocomposite is a good candidate as an antibacterial hydrogel wound dressing. .
