Abstract
Increasing attention has been paid to the development of effective strategies for articular cartilage (AC) and osteochondral (OC) regeneration due to their limited self-reparative capacities and the shortage of timely and appropriate clinical treatments. Traditional cell-dependent tissue engineering faces various challenges such as restricted cell sources, phenotypic alterations, and immune rejection. In contrast, endogenous tissue engineering represents a promising alternative, leveraging acellular biomaterials to guide endogenous cells to the injury site and stimulate their intrinsic regenerative potential. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in endogenous tissue engineering strategies for AC and OC regeneration, with a focus on the tissue engineering triad comprising endogenous stem/progenitor cells (ESPCs), scaffolds, and biomolecules. Multiple types of ESPCs present within the AC and OC microenvironment, including bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs), synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SM-MSCs), and AC-derived stem/progenitor cells (CSPCs), exhibit the ability to migrate toward injury sites and demonstrate pro-regenerative properties. The fabrication and characteristics of scaffolds in various formats including hydrogels, porous sponges, electrospun fibers, particles, films, multilayer scaffolds, bioceramics, and bioglass, highlighting their suitability for AC and OC repair, are systemically summarized. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the pivotal role of biomolecules in facilitating ESPCs migration, adhesion, chondrogenesis, osteogenesis, as well as regulating inflammation, aging, and hypertrophy-critical processes for endogenous AC and OC regeneration. Insights into the applications of endogenous tissue engineering strategies for in vivo AC and OC regeneration are provided along with a discussion on future perspectives to enhance regenerative outcomes.

Abstract
The complex biological process of osseointegration and the bio-inertness of bone implants are the major reasons for the high failure rate of long-term implants, and have also promoted the rapid development of multifunctional implant coatings in recent years. Herein, through the special design of peptides, we use layer-by-layer assembly technology to simultaneously display two peptides with different biological functions on the implant surface to address this issue. A variety of surface characterization techniques (ellipsometry, atomic force microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, dissipation-quartz crystal microbalance) were used to study in detail the preparation process of the dual peptide functional coating and the physical and chemical properties, such as the composition, mechanical modulus, stability, and roughness of the coating. Compared with single peptide functional coatings, dual-peptide functionalized coatings had much better performances on antioxidant, cellular adhesion in early stage, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in long term, as well as in vivo osteogenesis and osseointegration capabilities. These findings will promote the development of multifunctional designs in bone implant coatings, as a coping strategy for the complexity of biological process during osteointegration.

Abstract
The chemical information on brain science provided by electrochemical sensors is critical for understanding brain chemistry during physiological and pathological processes. A major challenge is the selectivity of electrochemical sensors in vivo. This work developed a universal covalent grafting strategy of an aptamer on a carbon fiber microelectrode (CFE) for selective determination of dopamine in vivo. The universal strategy was proposed by oxidizing poly(tannic acid) (pTA) to form an oxidized state (pTAox) and then coupling a nucleophilic sulfhydryl molecule of the dopamine-binding mercapto-aptamer with the o-quinone moiety of pTAox based on click chemistry for the interfacial functionalization of the CFE surface. It was found that the universal strategy proposed could efficiently graft the aptamer on a glassy carbon electrode, which was verified by using electroactive 6-(ferrocenyl) hexanethiol as a redox reporter. The amperometric method using a fabricated aptasensor for the determination of dopamine was developed. The linear range of the aptasensor for the determination of dopamine was 0.2-20 μM with a sensitivity of 0.09 nA/μM and a limit of detection of 88 nM (S/N = 3). The developed method has high selectivity originating from the specific recognition of the aptamer in concert with the cation-selective action of pTA and could be easily applicable to probe dopamine dynamics in the brain. Furthermore, complex vesicle fusion modes were first observed at the animal level. This work demonstrated that the covalently grafted immobilization strategy proposed is promising and could be extended to the in vivo analysis of other neurochemicals.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles are promising materials for bone tissue engineering due to their chemical resemblance to the native bone structure. However, most studies are unable to capture the entirety of the defective environment, providing limited bone regenerative abilities. Hence, this study aims to develop a multifunctional nanoparticle to collectively control the defective bone niche, including immune, angiogenic, and osteogenic systems. The nanoparticles, self-assembled by biomimetic mineralization and tannic acid (TA)-mediated metal-polyphenol network (MPN), are released sustainably after the incorporation within a gelatin cryogel. The released nanoparticles display a reduction in M1 macrophages by means of reactive oxygen species (ROS) elimination. Consequently, osteoclast maturation is also reduced, which is observed by the minimal formation of multinucleated cells (0.4%). Furthermore, the proportion of M2 macrophages, osteogenic differentiation, and angiogenic potential are consistently increased by the effects of magnesium from the nanoparticles. This orchestrated control of multiple systems influences the in vivo vascularized bone regeneration in which 80% of the critical-sized bone defect is regenerated with new bones with mature lamellar structure and arteriole-scale micro-vessels. Altogether, this study emphasizes the importance of the coordinated modulation of immune, osteogenic, and angiogenic systems at the bone defect site for robust bone regeneration.

Abstract
Tendon regeneration is greatly influenced by the oxidant and the inflammatory microenvironment. Persistent inflammation during the tendon repair can cause matrix degradation, tendon adhesion, and excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), while excessive ROS affect extracellular matrix remodeling and tendon integration. Herein, we used tannic acid (TA) to modify a decellularized tendon slice (DTS) to fabricate a functional scaffold (DTS-TA) with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for tendon repair. The characterizations and cytocompatibility of the scaffolds were examined in vitro. The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of the scaffold were evaluated in vitro and further studied in vivo using a subcutaneous implantation model. It was found that the modified DTS combined with TA via hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds, and the hydrophilicity, thermal stability, biodegradability, and mechanical characteristics of the scaffold were significantly improved. Afterward, the results demonstrated that DTS-TA could effectively reduce inflammation by increasing the M2/M1 macrophage ratio and interleukin-4 (IL-4) expression, decreasing the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), as well as scavenging excessive ROS in vitro and in vivo. In summary, DTS modified with TA provides a potential versatile scaffold for tendon regeneration.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are being studied for their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low toxicity, and low cost in the fabrication of various hydrogel devices. However, due to their insufficient physicochemical and mechanical qualities, polysaccharide hydrogels alone are not acceptable for biological applications. Various synthetic crosslinkers have been tested to overcome the drawbacks of standalone polysaccharide hydrogels; however, the presence of toxic residual crosslinkers, the generation of toxic by-products following biodegradation, and the requirement of toxic organic solvents for processing pose challenges in achieving the desired non-toxic biomaterials. Natural crosslinkers such as citric acid, tannic acid, vanillin, gallic acid, ferulic acid, proanthocyanidins, phytic acid, squaric acid, and epigallocatechin have been used to generate polysaccharide-based hydrogels in recent years. Various polysaccharides, including cellulose, alginate, pectin, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan, have been hydrogelized and investigated for their potential in drug delivery and tissue engineering applications using natural crosslinkers. We attempted to provide an overview of the synthesis of polysaccharide-based hydrogel systems (films, complex nanoparticles, microspheres, and porous scaffolds) based on green crosslinkers, as well as a description of the mechanism of crosslinking and properties with a special emphasis on drug delivery, and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In present study, icariin (ICA)/tannic acid (TA)-nanodiamonds (NDs) were prepared as follows. ICA was anchored to ND surfaces with absorbed TA (ICA/TA-NDs) and we evaluated their in vitro anti-inflammatory effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated macrophages and in vivo cartilage protective effects on a rat model of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis (OA). The ICA/TA-NDs showed prolonged release of ICA from the NDs for up to 28 days in a sustained manner. ICA/TA-NDs inhibited the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory elements, including matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and increased the mRNA levels of anti-inflammatory factors (i.e., IL-4 and IL-10) in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Animal studies exhibited that intra-articular injection of ICA/TA-NDs notably suppressed levels of IL-6, MMP-3, and TNF-α and induced level of IL-10 in serum of MIA-induced OA rat models in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, these noticeable anti-inflammatory effects of ICA/TA-NDs remarkably contributed to the protection of the progression of MIA-induced OA and cartilage degradation, as exhibited by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), gross findings, and histological investigations. Accordingly, in vitro and in vivo findings suggest that the prolonged ICA delivery of ICA/TA-NDs possesses an excellent latent to improve inflammation as well as defend against cartilage disorder in OA.

Abstract
With the poorly soluble and intrinsically unstable feature, prochloraz (Pro) was confronted with lower bioavailability in the crop defense against fungal erosion. Therefore, it was a challenging project to explore the innovative antifungal compound delivery system for improving bioavailability. The superior adhesive fungicide formulation was supposed to be an efficient pathway to enhance transmembrane permeability and biological activity. According to abundant phenolic hydroxyl groups, tannic acid (TA) was an ideal modified adhesive biomaterial to improve interfacial interactions. The fundamental purpose of this research was focused on the synergistic mechanism of TA-interfacial-modified Pro-ethyl cellulose (EC) nanoparticles for improving bioavailability and biosafety. In the stability test, TA-modified Pro-EC nanoparticles had the capacity to reduce Pro initial release burst, extending a persistent validity and improving anti-photodegradation property. The toxicity index of Pro-EC and Pro-EC-TA was approximately 2.93-fold and 4.96-fold that of Pro technical against Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum), respectively. Compared with nonmodified EC nanoparticles, TA-modified EC nanoparticles obtained eminent transmembrane permeability and superior adherence ability to F. graminearum, for hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of TA to enhance interaction with target cell membranes. The contents of cellular reactive oxygen species induced by Pro-EC and Pro-EC-TA nanoparticles were about 2.31 times and 3.00 times that of the control check (CK), respectively. Compared to the CK group, the membrane potential and ergosterol values of F. graminearum treated with Pro-EC-TA nanoparticles were drastically reduced by 74.91 and 56.20%, respectively. In the biosafety assay, the maximum half-lethal concentration value of the TA-modified Pro-EC nanoparticles indicated that the acute toxicity of the Pro-EC-TA nanoparticles to adult zebrafish was approximately 8.34-fold reduced compared to that of the Pro technical. These findings demonstrated that the successful interfacial modification of Pro-EC nanoparticles with TA was a highly efficient, environmentally safe, and promising alternative for sustainable agricultural application, thus making the fungicide formulation process more simplified, easier fabrication, and lower cost.

Abstract
Various joint pathologies such as osteochondritis dissecans, osteonecrosis, rheumatic disease, and trauma, may result in severe damage of articular cartilage and other joint structures, ranging from focal defects to osteoarthritis (OA). The osteochondral unit is one of the critical actors in this pathophysiological process. New approaches and applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine continue to drive the development of OA treatment. Hydrogel scaffolds, a component of tissue engineering, play an indispensable role in osteochondral regeneration. In this review, tissue engineering strategies regarding osteochondral regeneration were highlighted and summarized. The application of hydrogels for osteochondral regeneration within the last five years was evaluated with an emphasis on functionalized physical and chemical properties of hydrogel scaffolds, functionalized delivery hydrogel scaffolds as well as functionalized intelligent response hydrogel scaffolds. Lastly, to serve as guidance for future efforts in the creation of bioinspired hydrogel scaffolds, a succinct summary and new views for specific mechanisms, applications, and existing limitations of the newly designed functionalized hydrogel scaffolds were offered.

Abstract
The field of biomaterials aims to improve regenerative outcomes or scientific understanding for a wide range of tissue types and ailments. Biomaterials can be fabricated from natural or synthetic sources and display a plethora of mechanical, electrical, and geometrical properties dependent on their desired application. To date, most biomaterial systems designed for eventual translation to the clinic rely on soluble signaling moieties, such as growth factors, to elicit a specific cellular response. However, these soluble factors are often limited by high cost, convoluted synthesis, low stability, and difficulty in regulation, making the translation of these biomaterials systems to clinical or commercial applications a long and arduous process. In response to this, significant effort has been dedicated to researching cell-directive biomaterials which can signal for specific cell behavior in the absence of soluble factors. Cells of all tissue types have been shown to be innately in tune with their microenvironment, which is a biological phenomenon that can be exploited by researchers to design materials that direct cell behavior based on their intrinsic characteristics. This review will focus on recent developments in biomaterials that direct cell behavior using biomaterial properties such as charge, peptide presentation, and micro- or nano-geometry. These next generation biomaterials could offer significant strides in the development of clinically relevant medical devices which improve our understanding of the cellular microenvironment and enhance patient care in a variety of ailments.

Abstract
The regeneration of oral tissues is a challenging clinical problem because of the complex microbial and biological stress environments. Electrospun fibrous scaffolds have attracted significant interest as effective barrier membranes for guided bone regeneration (GBR); however, no mature strategy yet exists for the surface modification of fibers to provide versatility to satisfy clinical requirements. This study demonstrated a practical biosafety strategy: the combined use of plant polyphenols and LL-37 peptides to modify the fiber surface to endow the fibrous scaffold with antimicrobial activity, immunoregulation, and vascularized bone regeneration. We confirmed that the LL-37 peptides interacted with tannic acid (TA) through noncovalent bonds through experiments and molecular docking simulation analysis. In vitro experiments showed that the TA coating imparted strong antibacterial properties to the fibrous scaffold, but it also caused cytotoxicity. The grafting of LL-37 peptide promoted the spreading, migration, and osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and was also conducive to the M2 polarization of RAW264.7 cells. In vivo experiments further verified that the LL-37 peptide-grafted fibrous scaffold significantly enhanced angiogenesis, anti-inflammatory effects, and type-H vascularized bone regeneration. Overall, the fibrous scaffold modified by the LL-37 peptide through TA grafting has significant potential for GBR applications.

Abstract
Osteochondral defect (OCD) regeneration remains a great challenge. Recently, multilayer scaffold simulating native osteochondral structures have aroused broad interest in osteochondral tissue engineering. Here, we developed a 3D multifunctional bi-layer scaffold composed of a kartogenin (KGN)-loaded GelMA hydrogel (GelMA/KGN) as an upper layer mimicking a cartilage-specific extracellular matrix and a hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated 3D printed polycaprolactone porous scaffold (PCL/HA) as a lower layer simulating subchondral bone. The bi-layer scaffolds were subsequently modified with tannic acid (TA) prime-coating and E7 peptide conjugation (PCL/HA-GelMA/KGN@TA/E7) to regulate endogenous stem cell behaviors and exert antioxidant activity for enhanced osteochondral regeneration. In vitro, the scaffolds could support cell attachment and proliferation, and enhance the chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation capacity of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a specific layer. Besides, the incorporation of TA/E7 significantly increased the biological activity of the bi-layer scaffolds including the pro-migratory effect, antioxidant activity, and the maintenance of cell viability against oxidative stress. In vivo, the developed bi-layer scaffolds enhanced the simultaneous regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone when implanted into a rabbit OCD model through macroscopic, micro-CT, and histological evaluation. Taken together, these investigations demonstrated that the 3D multifunctional bi-layer scaffolds could provide a suitable microenvironment for endogenous stem cells, and promote in situ osteochondral regeneration, showing great potential for the clinical treatment of OCD.

Abstract
Osteochondral defects (OCD) cannot be efficiently repaired due to the unique physical architecture and the pathological microenvironment including enhanced oxidative stress and inflammation. Conventional strategies, such as the control of implant microstructure or the introduction of growth factors, have limited functions failing to manage these complex environments. Here we developed a multifunctional silk-based hydrogel incorporated with metal-organic framework nanozymes (CuTA@SF) to provide a suitable microenvironment for enhanced OCD regeneration. The incorporation of CuTA nanozymes endowed the SF hydrogel with a uniform microstructure and elevated hydrophilicity. In vitro cultivation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and chondrocytes showed that CuTA@SF hydrogel accelerated cell proliferation and enhanced cell viability, as well as had antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Under the inflammatory environment with the stimulation of IL-1β, CuTA@SF hydrogel still possessed the potential to promote MSC osteogenesis and deposition of cartilage-specific extracellular matrix (ECM). The proteomics analysis further confirmed that CuTA@SF hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and ECM synthesis. In the full-thickness OCD model of rabbit, CuTA@SF hydrogel displayed successfully in situ OCD regeneration, as evidenced by micro-CT, histology (HE, S/O, and toluidine blue staining) and immunohistochemistry (Col I and aggrecan immunostaining). Therefore, CuTA@SF hydrogel is a promising biomaterial targeted at the regeneration of OCD. A multifunctional silk-based hydrogel incorporated with metal-organic framework nanozymes (CuTA@SF) was fabricated. CuTA@SF hydrogel has antioxidant, anti-inflammation and antibacterial capacities. Proteomics analysis confirmed that CuTA@SF hydrogel promoted cell proliferation and ECM synthesis. CuTA@SF hydrogel displayed successful osteochondral regeneration in vivo.

Abstract
Bone diseases are a global public concern that affect millions of people. Even though current treatments present high efficacy, they also show several side effects. In this sense, the development of biocompatible nanoparticles and macroscopic scaffolds has been shown to improve bone regeneration while diminishing side effects. In this review, we present a new trend in these materials, reporting several examples of materials that specifically recognize several agents of the bone microenvironment. Briefly, we provide a subtle introduction to the bone microenvironment. Then, the different targeting agents are exposed. Afterward, several examples of nanoparticles and scaffolds modified with these agents are shown. Finally, we provide some future perspectives and conclusions. Overall, this topic presents high potential to create promising translational strategies for the treatment of bone-related diseases. We expect this review to provide a comprehensive description of the incipient state-of-the-art of bone-targeting agents in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Alginate hydrogel is an attractive biomaterial for cell microencapsulation. The microarchitecture of hydrogels can regulate cellular functions. This study aims to investigate the applicability of sodium citrate buffer (SCB) as a culture medium supplement for modulating the microstructure of alginate microbeads to provide a favorable microenvironment for chondrogenic induction. The chondrocyte-laden microbeads, with and without TGF-β3 incorporation, were produced through an encapsulator. The obtained small-sized microbeads (~300 μm) were exposed to a treatment medium containing SCB, composed of varied concentrations of sodium citrate (1.10-1.57 mM), sodium chloride (3.00-4.29 mM), and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (0.60-0.86 mM) to partially degrade their crosslinked structure for 3 days, followed by culture in a normal medium until day 21. Scanning electron microscope micrographs demonstrated a loose hydrogel network with an enhanced pore size in the SCB-treated microbeads. Increasing the concentration of SCB in the treatment medium reduced the calcium content of the microbeads via a Na+ /Ca2+ exchange process and improved the water absorption of the microbeads, resulting in a higher swelling ratio. All the tested SCB concentrations were non-cytotoxic. Increases in aggrecan and type II collagen gene expression and their corresponding extracellular matrix accumulation, glycosaminoglycans, and type II collagen were vividly detected in the TGF-β3-containing microbeads with increasing SCB concentrations in the treatment medium. Our findings highlighted that the combination of SCB treatment and TGF-β3 incorporation in the chondrocyte-laden microbeads is a promising strategy for enhancing cartilage regeneration, which may contribute to a versatile application in cell delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
The fabrication of osteochondral scaffolds with both structural and biochemical cues to regulate endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) behavior for cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration is still a challenge. To this end, a composite scaffold (BE-PSA) with gradient structure and programmed biomolecule delivery was prepared by fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing and multi-material-based modification. The 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold included upper pores of 200 μm for cartilage regeneration and lower pores of 400 μm for bone regeneration. For a sequential modulation of BMSCs behavior, fast-degrading sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel was used to deliver a burst release of E7 peptide to enhance BMSCs migration within 72 h, while a slowly-degrading silk fibroin (SF) porous matrix was used to provide a sustained release of B2A peptide to improve BMSCs dual-lineage differentiation lasting for >300 h, depending on the different degradation rates of SA hydrogel and SF matrix. The BE-PSA scaffold had good biocompatibility and could improve the migration and osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Benefiting from the synergistic effects of spatial structures and programmed biomolecule delivery, the BE-PSA scaffold showed enhanced cartilage and subchondral bone regeneration in rabbit osteochondral defect model. This work not only provides a promising scaffold to guide BMSCs behavior for osteochondral regeneration but also offers a method for the fabrication of tissue engineering biomaterials based on the structural and biochemical modification.

Abstract
Tannic acid (TA), a natural polyphenol, is a hydrolysable amphiphilic tannin derivative of gallic acid with several galloyl groups in its structure. Tannic acid interacts with various organic, inorganic, hydrophilic, and hydrophobic materials such as proteins and polysaccharides via hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, coordinative bonding, and hydrophobic interactions. Tannic acid has been studied for various biomedical applications as a natural crosslinker with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. In this review, we focus on TA-based hydrogels for biomaterials engineering to help biomaterials scientists and engineers better realize TA's potential in the design and fabrication of novel hydrogel biomaterials. The interactions of TA with various natural or synthetic compounds are deliberated, discussing parameters that affect TA-material interactions thus providing a fundamental set of criteria for utilizing TA in hydrogels for tissue healing and regeneration. The review also discusses the merits and demerits of using TA in developing hydrogels either through direct incorporation in the hydrogel formulation or indirectly via immersing the final product in a TA solution. In general, TA is a natural bioactive molecule with diverse potential for engineering biomedical hydrogels.

Abstract
The foreign body response (FBR) caused by biomaterials can essentially be understood as the interaction between the immune microenvironment and biomaterials, which has severely impeded the application of biomaterials in tissue repair. This concrete interaction occurs via cells and bioactive substances, such as proteins and nucleic acids. These cellular and molecular interactions provide important cues for determining which element to incorporate into immunomodulatory biomaterials (IMBs), and IMBs can thus be endowed with the ability to modulate the FBR and repair damaged tissue. In terms of cellular, IMBs are modified to modulate functions of immune cells, such as macrophages and mast cells. In terms of bioactive substances, proteins and nucleic acids are delivered to influence the immune microenvironment.

Multifunctional polyphenol-based silk hydrogel alleviates oxidative stress and enhances endogenous regeneration of osteochondral defects. Mater Today Bio 2022; 14:100251.

Abstract
In osteochondral defects, oxidative stress caused by elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can disrupt the normal endogenous repair process. In this study, a multifunctional hydrogel composed of silk fibroin (SF) and tannic acid (TA), the FDA-approved ingredients, was developed to alleviate oxidative stress and enhance osteochondral regeneration. In this proposed hydrogel, SF first interacts with TA to form a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structure, which is subsequently enzymatically crosslinked to form a stable hydrogel. Furthermore, TA had multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups that formed interactions with the therapeutic molecule E7 peptide for controlled drug delivery. In vitro investigations showed that SF-TA and SF-TA-E7 hydrogels exhibited a multitude of biological effects including scavenging of ROS, maintaining cell viability, and promoting the proliferation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) against oxidative stress. The proteomic analysis indicated that SF-TA and SF-TA-E7 hydrogels suppressed oxidative stress, which in turn improved cell proliferation in multiple proliferation and apoptosis-related pathways. In rabbit osteochondral defect model, SF-TA and SF-TA-E7 hydrogels promoted enhanced regeneration of both cartilage and subchondral bone as compared to hydrogel without TA incorporation. These findings indicated that the multifunctional SF-TA hydrogel provided a microenvironment suitable for the endogenous regeneration of osteochondral defects.

Abstract
Background Injury to articular cartilage cause certain degree of disability due to poor self-repair ability of cartilage tissue. To promote cartilage regeneration, it is essential to develop a scaffold that properly mimics the native cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) in the aspect of compositions and functions. Methods A mussel-inspired strategy was developed to construct an ECM-mimicking hydrogel scaffold by incorporating polydopamine-modified hyaluronic acid (PDA/HA) complex into a dual-crosslinked collagen (Col) matrix for growth factor-free cartilage regeneration. The adhesion, proliferation, and chondrogenic differentiation of cells on the scaffold were examined. A well-established full-thickness cartilage defect model of the knee in rabbits was used to evaluated the efficacy and functionality of the engineered Col/PDA/HA hydrogel scaffold. Results The PDA/HA complex incorporated-hydrogel scaffold with catechol moieties exhibited better cell affinity than bare negatively-charged HA incorporated hydrogel scaffold. In addition, the PDA/HA complex endowed the scaffold with immunomodulation ability, which suppressed the expression of inflammatory cytokines and effectively activated the polarization of macrophages toward M2 phenotypes. The in vivo results revealed that the mussel-inspired Col/PDA/HA hydrogel scaffold showed strong cartilage inducing ability to promote cartilage regeneration. Conclusions The PDA/HA complex-incorporated hydrogel scaffold overcame the cell repellency of negatively-charged polysaccharide-based scaffolds, which facilitated the adhesion and clustering of cells on the scaffold, and therefore enhanced cell-HA interactions for efficient chondrogenic differentiation. Moreover, the hydrogel scaffold modulated immune microenvironment, and created a regenerative microenvironment to enhance cartilage regeneration. The translational potential of this article This study gives insight into the mussel-inspired approach to construct the tissue-inducing hydrogel scaffold in a growth-factor-free manner, which show great advantage in the clinical treatment. The hydrogel scaffold composed of collagen and hyaluronic acid as the major component, providing cartilage ECM-mimicking environment, is promising for cartilage defect repair.

Abstract
Due to their lack of multifunctionality, the majority of traditional wound dressings do not support all the clinical requirements. Bilayer wound dressings with multifunctional properties can be attractive for effective skin regeneration. In the present study, we designed a multifunctional bilayer scaffold containing Chitosan-Polycaprolactone (PC) nanofiber and tannic acid (TA) reinforced methacrylate gelatin (GM)/alginate (Al) hydrogel (GM/Al/TA). PC nanofibers were coated with GM/Al/TA hydrogel to obtain a bilayer nanocomposite scaffold (Bi-TA). The GM/Al/TA hydrogel layer of Bi-TA showed antibacterial, free radical scavenging, and biocompatibility properties. Also, PC nanofiber acted as a barrier for preventing bacterial invasion and moisture loss of the hydrogel layer. The wound healing performance of the Bi-TA scaffold was investigated via a full-thickness wound model. In addition, the histopathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) stainings of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were assessed. The results indicated an enhanced wound closure rate, effective collagen deposition, quick re-epithelialization, more skin appendages, and replacement of defect area with normal skin tissue by Bi-TA scaffold compared to other groups. Additionally, the regulation of TGF-β1 and TNF-α was observed by Bi-TA dressing. Overall, the Bi-TA with appropriate structural and multifunctional properties can be an excellent candidate for developing effective dressings for wound healing applications.

Abstract
In spite of the considerable achievements in the field of regenerative medicine in the past several decades, osteochondral defect regeneration remains a challenging issue among diseases in the musculoskeletal system because of the spatial complexity of osteochondral units in composition, structure and functions. In order to repair the hierarchical tissue involving different layers of articular cartilage, cartilage-bone interface and subchondral bone, traditional clinical treatments including palliative and reparative methods have showed certain improvement in pain relief and defect filling. It is the development of tissue engineering that has provided more promising results in regenerating neo-tissues with comparable compositional, structural and functional characteristics to the native osteochondral tissues. Here in this review, some basic knowledge of the osteochondral units including the anatomical structure and composition, the defect classification and clinical treatments will be first introduced. Then we will highlight the recent progress in osteochondral tissue engineering from perspectives of scaffold design, cell encapsulation and signaling factor incorporation including bioreactor application. Clinical products for osteochondral defect repair will be analyzed and summarized later. Moreover, we will discuss the current obstacles and future directions to regenerate the damaged osteochondral tissues.

Abstract
An increasing number of works have highlighted the importance of metal implants surface modification in enhancing bone defect healing through the synergistic osteogenesis-angiogenesis regulation. Studies have shown that pitavastatin has the effect of promoting osteogenesis and angiogenesis. However, how to prepare pitavastatin functionalized implants and how pitavastatin regulates the synergies of osteogenesis and angiogenesis around implants as well as the related mechanisms remain unclear. In the present study, multilayer films with osteogenic and angiogenic properties were constructed on pure titanium substrates via the layer-by-layer assembly of pitavastatin-loaded β-cyclodextrin grafted chitosan and gelatin. In vitro experiments demonstrated that locally applied pitavastatin could dramatically enhance osteogenic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and angiogenic potential of endothelial cells (ECs). Moreover, pitavastatin loaded multilayer films could regulate the paracrine signaling mediated crosstalk between MSCs and ECs, and indirectly increase the angiogenic potential of MSCs and osteogenic potential of ECs via multiple paracrine signaling. The results of subcutaneous and femur implantation confirmed that locally released pitavastatin had potentially triggered a chain of biological events: mobilizing endogenous stem cells and ECs to the implant-bone interface, in turn facilitating coupled osteogenesis and angiogenesis, and eventually enhancing peri-implant osseointegration. This study enlarges the application scope of pitavastatin and provides an optional choice for developing a multifunctional bioactive coating on the surfaces of mental implants.

Abstract
Rebuilding mineralized tissues in skeletal and dental systems remains costly and challenging. Despite numerous demands and heavy clinical burden over the world, sources of autografts, allografts, and xenografts are far limited, along with massive risks including viral infections, ethic crisis, and so on. Per such dilemma, artificial scaffolds have emerged to provide efficient alternatives. To date, cell-free biomimetic mineralization (BM) and cell-dependent scaffolds have both demonstrated promising capabilities of regenerating mineralized tissues. However, BM and cell-dependent scaffolds have distinctive mechanisms for mineral genesis, which makes them methodically, synthetically, and functionally disparate. Herein, these two strategies in regenerative dentistry and orthopedics are systematically summarized at the level of mechanisms. For BM, methodological and theoretical advances are focused upon; and meanwhile, for cell-dependent scaffolds, it is demonstrated how scaffolds orchestrate osteogenic cell fate. The summary of the experimental advances and clinical progress will endow researchers with mechanistic understandings of artificial scaffolds in rebuilding hard tissues, by which better clinical choices and research directions may be approached.

Abstract
Burns, trauma, surgery and chronic diabetic ulcers are the most common reasons causing skin wounds in clinic. Thus, developing a functional wound dressing has been an imperative issue. Herein, functional wound dressing (poly(l-lactic acid) PLLA-((tanic acid (TA)/europium (Eu))n ) is fabricated through a facile polyphenol-europium ion assembly to ameliorate wound microenvironment via scavenging excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promoting angiogenesis. The physicochemical characterization indicates that the multicycle assembled TA/Eu is uniformly deposited on PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats surface. In vitro 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant tests display good antioxidant ability by scavenging more than 75% ROS, and significantly increasing the antioxidant enzyme levels in vivo. Cytocompatibility experiments illustrate that PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats can promote the adhesion and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and L929 cells. Meanwhile, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (RT-qPCR) and western blot assays illustrate that it can stimulate proangiogenesis by elevating the expression of angiogenesis-related genes and proteins. In vivo Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats experiments indicate that PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats can significantly promote wound healing by improving both angiogenesis and antioxidant activity. Taken together, the functional PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats can offer significant promise as wound dressing for accelerated wound healing.

Abstract
Natural polymeric scaffolds can be used for tissue engineering applications such as cell delivery and cell-free supporting of native tissues. This is because of their desirable properties such as; high biocompatibility, tunable mechanical strength and conductivity, large surface area, porous- and extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicked structures. Specifically, their less toxicity and biocompatibility makes them suitable for several tissue engineering applications. For these reasons, several biopolymeric scaffolds are currently being explored for numerous tissue engineering applications. To date, research on the nature, chemistry, and properties of nanocomposite biopolymers are been reported, while the need for a comprehensive research note on more tissue engineering application of these biopolymers remains. As a result, this present study comprehensively reviews the development of common natural biopolymers as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications such as cartilage tissue engineering, cornea repairs, osteochondral defect repairs, and nerve regeneration. More so, the implications of research findings for further studies are presented, while the impact of research advances on future research and other specific recommendations are added as well.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 127:112215. [PMID: 34225867 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112215] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/25/2021] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
Osteochondral defects are characterized by damage to both articular cartilage and subchondral bone. Various tissue engineering strategies have been developed for osteochondral defect repair. However, strong mechanical properties and dual-lineage (osteogenesis and chondrogenesis) bioactivity still pose challenges for current biomaterial design. Silicate nanoclay has been reported to improve the mechanical properties and biofunctionality of polymer systems, but its effect on in vitro dual-lineage differentiation or in vivo osteochondral regeneration has not been extensively investigated before. Here, a novel enzymatically crosslinked silk fibroin (SF)-Laponite (LAP) nanocomposite hydrogel was fabricated and evaluated for osteochondral regeneration. The incorporation of a small amount of LAP (1% w/v) accelerated the gelation process of SF and greatly enhanced the mechanical properties and hydrophilicity of the hydrogel. In vitro investigations showed that the developed SF-LAP hydrogel was biocompatible and was able to induce osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), validated by Alizarin red/Alcian blue staining, qPCR, and immunofluorescent staining. During an 8-week implantation into rabbit full-thickness osteochondral defects, the SF-LAP hydrogel promoted the simultaneous and enhanced regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone. The repaired tissue in the chondral region was constituted mainly of hyaline cartilage with typical chondrocyte morphology and cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM). These findings suggested that the SF-LAP nanocomposite hydrogel developed in this study served as a promising biomaterial for osteochondral regeneration due to its mechanical reinforcement and dual-lineage bioactivity.

Abstract
In this study, hydrogels based on chitosan cross-linked by glyoxal have been investigated for potential medical applications. Hydrogels were loaded with tannic acid at different concentrations. The thermal stability and the polyphenol-releasing rate were determined. For a preliminary assessment of the clinical usefulness of the hydrogels, they were examined for blood compatibility and in the culture of human dental pulp cells (hDPC). The results showed that after immersion in a polyphenol solution, chitosan/glyoxal hydrogels remain nonhemolytic for erythrocytes, and we also did not observe the cytotoxic effect of hydrogels immersed in tannic acid (TA) solutions with different concentration. Tannic acid was successfully released from hydrogels, and its addition improved material thermal stability. Thus, the current findings open the possibility to consider such hydrogels in clinics.

Abstract
Development of low cost biosensing using convenient and environmentally benign materials is important for wide adoption and ultimately improved healthcare and sustainable development. Immobilized antibodies are often incorporated as an essential biorecognition element in point-of-care biosensors but these proteins are costly. We present a strategy of combining convenient and low-cost surface functionalization approaches for increasing the overall binding activity of antibody functionalized natural and synthetic fibers. We demonstrate a simple one-step in situ silica NP growth protocol for increasing the surface area available for functionalization on cotton and polyester fabrics as well as on nanoporous cellulose substrates. Comparing this effect with the widely adopted and low cost plant-based polyphenol coating to enhance antibody immobilization, we find that both approaches can similarly increase overall surface activity, and we illustrate conditions under which the two approaches can produce an additive effect. Furthermore, we introduce co-immobilization of antibodies with a sacrificial “steric helper” protein for further enhancing surface activities. In combination, several hundred percent higher activities compared to physical adsorption can be achieved while maintaining a low amount of antibodies used, thus paving a practical path towards low cost biosensing. Cotton, nanoporous cellulose and polyester fabric surfaces are functionalized with combinations of in situ grown silica NPs, polyphenol coating, and protein co-immobilization to enhance surface area, antibody binding efficiency, and biosensing.![]()

Abstract
The development of a biomimetic scaffold designed to provide a native extracellular matrix (ECM)-like microenvironment is a potential strategy for cartilage repair. The ECM in native articular cartilage is structurally composed of three different architectural zones, i.e., horizontally aligned, randomly arranged, and vertically aligned collagen fibers. However, the effects of scaffolds with these three different ECM-like architectures on in vivo cartilage regeneration are not clear. In this study, we aim to systematically investigate and compare their in situ inductive regenerative efficacy on cartilage defects. ECM-mimetic silk fibroin scaffolds with horizontally aligned, vertically aligned, and random pore architectures are fabricated using the controlled directional freezing technique. All of these scaffolds exhibit similar pore area, swelling ratio, and in vitro degradation behavior. Nevertheless, the aligned scaffolds have a higher pore aspect ratio and hydrophilicity, and increase the proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro. When implanted into rabbit osteochondral defects, the scaffold with vertically aligned pore architectures provides a more cell-favorable microenvironment conducive to endogenous BMSCs than other scaffolds and supports the simultaneous regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone. These findings indicate that scaffolds with vertically aligned ECM-like architectures serve as an effective cell-free and growth factor-free scaffold for enhanced endogenous osteochondral regeneration.

Bioact Mater 2020; 5:832-843. [PMID: 32637747 PMCID: PMC7321772 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2020.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2020] [Revised: 05/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Endogenous repair of osteochondral defect is usually limited by the insufficient number of cells in the early stage and incomplete cell differentiation in the later stage. The development of drug delivery systems for sequential release of pro-migratory and pro-chondrogenic molecules to induce endogenous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) recruitment and chondrogenic differentiation is highly desirable for in situ osteochondral regeneration. In this study, a novel, all-silk-derived sequential delivery system was fabricated by incorporating the tunable drug-loaded silk fibroin (SF) nanospheres into a SF porous matrix. The loading efficiency and release kinetics of biomolecules depended on the initial SF/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) concentrations (0.2%, 1% and 5%) of the nanospheres, as well as the hydrophobicity of the loaded molecules, resulting in controllable and programmed delivery profiles. Our findings indicated that the 5% nanosphere-incorporated matrix showed a rapid release of E7 peptide during the first 120 h, whereas the 0.2% nanosphere-incorporated matrix provided a slow and sustained release of Kartogenin (KGN) longer than 30 days. During in vitro culture of BMSCs, this functional SF matrix incorporated with E7/KGN nanospheres showed good biocompatibility, as well as enhanced BMSCs migration and chondrogenic differentiation through the release of E7 and KGN. Furthermore, when implanted into rabbit osteochondral defect, the SF nanosphere matrix with sequential E7/KGN release promoted the regeneration of both cartilage and subchondral bone. This work not only provided a novel all-silk-derived drug delivery system for sequential release of molecules, but also a functional tissue-engineered scaffold for osteochondral regeneration. An all-silk-derived sequential biomolecule delivery system is developed. The release profiles of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules from the SF nanosphere matrix can be easily tuned. This SF nanosphere matrix induces BMSCs recruitment and chondrogenic differentiation by programmed release of E7 and KGN. The SF nanosphere matrix with sequential E7/KGN release improves the regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone in vivo..
