Abstract
The emergence of bone tissue engineering as a trend in regenerative medicine is forcing scientists to create highly functional materials and scaffold construction techniques. Bone tissue engineering uses 3D bio-printed scaffolds that allow and stimulate the attachment and proliferation of osteoinductive cells on their surfaces. Bone grafting is necessary to expedite the patient's condition because the natural healing process of bones is slow. Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is therefore suggested as a technique for the production process due to its simplicity, ability to create intricate components and movable forms, and low running costs. 3D-printed scaffolds can repair bone defects in vivo and in vitro. For 3D printing, various materials including metals, polymers, and ceramics are often employed but polymeric biofilaments are promising candidates for replacing non-biodegradable materials due to their adaptability and environment friendliness. This review paper majorly focuses on the fused deposition modeling approach for the fabrication of 3D scaffolds. In addition, it also provides information on biofilaments used in FDM 3D printing, applications, and commercial aspects of scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126599. [PMID: 37652327 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/03/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 09/02/2023]
Abstract
Liposomes are unique biomolecular, capable of loading both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules and delivered into the biological system. Liposomes (L) coated with hyaluronic acid (HA) and chitosan (CS) carrier system was fabricated. Berberine (BER) and doxorubicin (DOX) were encapsulated to enhance drug proliferation and therapeutic effect in lung cancer cells. The FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TEM techniques were carried out for functional group identification, crystallinity, and surface morphology analysis, respectively. In-vitro drug release confirms the sustained release of BER and DOX in various physiological environments. HA-CS@BER&DOX-L has good penetration ability and higher cytotoxicity effect in the A549 cells, and the IC50 value of HA-CS@BER&DOX-L is 89.19 μg/300 μL. The pure liposome showed a negligible cytotoxicity effect, and the HA-CS@BER&DOX-L could efficiently induce the apoptosis of A549 cells. The cellular uptake analysis of the HA-CS@BER&DOX-L effectively targeted and entered the A549 cells and clearly observed C. elegans images. Hence, the proposed system will be a potential treatment methodology to enhance the cytotoxicity of the A549 cancer cells and be useful to future drug administration methodology development.

Bakhtiari H, Nouri A, Khakbiz M, Tolouei-Rad M. Fatigue behaviour of load-bearing polymeric bone scaffolds: A review. Acta Biomater 2023; 172:16-37. [PMID: 37797705 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.09.048] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
Bone scaffolds play a crucial role in bone tissue engineering by providing mechanical support for the growth of new tissue while enduring static and fatigue loads. Although polymers possess favourable characteristics such as adjustable degradation rate, tissue-compatible stiffness, ease of fabrication, and low toxicity, their relatively low mechanical strength has limited their use in load-bearing applications. While numerous studies have focused on assessing the static strength of polymeric scaffolds, little research has been conducted on their fatigue properties. The current review presents a comprehensive study on the fatigue behaviour of polymeric bone scaffolds. The fatigue failure in polymeric scaffolds is discussed and the impact of material properties, topological features, loading conditions, and environmental factors are also examined. The present review also provides insight into the fatigue damage evolution within polymeric scaffolds, drawing comparisons to the behaviour observed in natural bone. Additionally, the effect of polymer microstructure, incorporating reinforcing materials, the introduction of topological features, and hydrodynamic/corrosive impact of body fluids in the fatigue life of scaffolds are discussed. Understanding these parameters is crucial for enhancing the fatigue resistance of polymeric scaffolds and holds promise for expanding their application in clinical settings as structural biomaterials. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Polymers have promising advantages for bone tissue engineering, including adjustable degradation rates, compatibility with native bone stiffness, ease of fabrication, and low toxicity. However, their limited mechanical strength has hindered their use in load-bearing scaffolds for clinical applications. While prior studies have addressed static behaviour of polymeric scaffolds, a comprehensive review of their fatigue performance is lacking. This review explores this gap, addressing fatigue characteristics, failure mechanisms, and the influence of parameters like material properties, topological features, loading conditions, and environmental factors. It also examines microstructure, reinforcement materials, pore architectures, body fluids, and tissue ingrowth effects on fatigue behaviour. A significant emphasis is placed on understanding fatigue damage progression in polymeric scaffolds, comparing it to natural bone behaviour.

POLYMER EDITION 2023; 34:482-496.

Abstract
In this paper, we investigated silk fibroin (SF) cross-linked by 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS) and its biocompatibility with olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs). After cross-linked with different concentrations of EDC/NHS solutions, SF scaffolds were analyzed by different techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectra, x-ray diffraction, tensile machine and water contact angle assay. As to their structures, we found 4.5% EDC/NHS cross-linked SF possessed a more significant increase of β-sheet and a decrease of α-helix than 1.5% group. These changes helped SF achieve excellent mechanical properties. While more remarkable improvement of hydrophilicity was seen in 1.5% EDC/NHS treated SF. Immunofluorescence, MTT, Annexin-V/PI and ELISA analysis were then conducted to determine the states and functions of OECs on the scaffolds. OECs on 4.5% EDC/NHS cross-linked SF seemed insufficient to spread, and the proliferation was limited on 4 and 6 days. Moreover, 4.5% EDC/NHS exerted adverse effects on cell survival and nerve growth factor (NGF) secretion at day 4, but not 1.5% EDC/NHS. Taken together, SF scaffolds showed improved physical and hydrophilic properties through cross-linking. 1.5% EDC/NHS cross-linked SF scaffolds showed significant advantages between mechanical property and the states and functions with OECs, which has the potential to be used for neural repairing.

Abstract
In this study, a novel poly(L-lactate-caprolactone) copolymer (PLCL) nanofibrous/keratin hydrogel bilayer wound dressing loaded with fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) was prepared by the low-pressure filtration-assisted method. The ability of the keratin hydrogel in the bilayer dressing to mimic the dermis and that of the nanofibrous PLCL to mimic the epidermis were discussed. Keratin hydrogel exhibited good porosity and maximum water absorption of 874.09%. Compared with that of the dressing prepared by the coating method, the interface of the bilayer dressing manufactured by the low-pressure filtration-assisted method (filtration time: 20 min) was tightly bonded, and its bilayer dressing interface could not be easily peeled off. The elastic modulus of hydrogel was about 44 kPa, which was similar to the elastic modulus of the dermis (2-80 kPa). Additionally, PLCL nanofibers had certain toughness and flexibility suitable for simulating the epidermal structures. In vitro studies showed that the bilayer dressing was biocompatible and biodegradable. In vivo studies indicated that PLCL/keratin-FGF-2 bilayer dressing could promote re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, skin appendages (hair follicles) regeneration, microangiogenesis construction, and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) recruitment. The introduction of FGF-2 resulted in a better repair effect. The bilayer dressing also solved the problems of poor interface adhesion of hydrogel/electrospinning nanofibers. This paper also explored the preliminary role and mechanism of bilayer dressing in promoting skin healing, showing that its potential applications as a biomedical wound dressing in the field of skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Polysaccharides constitute one of the most important families of biopolymers. Natural polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems are of constant interest to the scientific community due to their unique properties: biocompatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability, and high availability. These promising biomaterials protect sensitive active agents and provide their controlled release in targeted sites. The application of natural polysaccharides as drug delivery systems is also intensively developed by Polish scientists. The present review focuses on case studies from the last few years authored or co-authored by research centers in Poland. A particular emphasis was placed on the diversity of the formulations in terms of the active substance carried, the drug delivery route, the composition of the material, and its preparation method.

Abstract
Cell therapies for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treatment have been developed by integrating hydrogel-based biomaterials. Until now, cell activity has been observed only in terms of the modulus of the hydrogel. In addition, cell behavior has only been observed in the 2D environment of the hydrogel and the 3D matrix. As time-dependent stress relaxation is considered a significant mechanical cue for the control of cellular activities, it is important to optimize hydrogels for retinal tissue engineering (TE) by applying this viewpoint. Herein, a gellan Gum (GG)/Hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel was fabricated using a facile physical crosslinking method. The physicochemical and mechanical properties were controlled by forming a different composition of GG and HA. The characterization was performed by conducting a mass swelling study, a sol fraction study, a weight loss test, a viscosity test, an injection force study, a compression test, and a stress relaxation analysis. The biological activity of the cells encapsulated in 3D constructs was evaluated by conducting a morphological study, a proliferation test, a live/dead analysis, histology, immunofluorescence staining, and a gene expression study to determine the most appropriate material for retinal TE biomaterial. Hydrogels with moderate amounts of HA showed improved physicochemical and mechanical properties suitable for injection into the retina. Moreover, the time-dependent stress relaxation property of the GG/HA hydrogel was enhanced when the appropriate amount of HA was loaded. In addition, the cellular compatibility of the GG/HA hydrogel in in vitro experiments was significantly improved in the fast-relaxing hydrogel. Overall, these results demonstrate the remarkable potential of GG/HA hydrogel as an injectable hydrogel for retinal TE and the importance of the stress relaxation property when designing retinal TE hydrogels. Therefore, we believe that GG/HA hydrogel is a prospective candidate for retinal TE biomaterial.

Abstract
Bone tissue is a nanocomposite consisting of an organic and inorganic matrix, in which the collagen component and the mineral phase are organized into complex and porous structures. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is the most used ceramic biomaterial since it mimics the mineral composition of the bone in vertebrates. However, this biomimetic material has poor mechanical properties, such as low tensile and compressive strength, which make it not suitable for bone tissue engineering (BTE). For this reason, HA is often used in combination with different polymers and crosslinkers in the form of composites to improve their mechanical properties and the overall performance of the implantable biomaterials developed for orthopedic applications. This review summarizes recent advances in HA-based biocomposites for bone regeneration, addressing the most widely employed inorganic matrices, the natural and synthetic polymers used as reinforcing components, and the crosslinkers added to improve the mechanical properties of the scaffolds. Besides presenting the main physical and chemical methods in tissue engineering applications, this survey shows that HA biocomposites are generally biocompatible, as per most in vitro and in vivo studies involving animal models and that the results of clinical studies on humans sometimes remain controversial. We believe this review will be helpful as introductory information for scientists studying HA materials in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Collagen is the most abundant protein in animals and one of the most important extracellular matrices that chronically plays an important role in biomaterials. However, the major concern about native collagen is the lack of its thermal stability and weak resistance to proteolytic degradation. Currently, a series of modification technologies have been explored for critical nature and stability enhancement in collagen matrix-based biomaterials, and prosperously large-scale progress has been achieved. The establishment of covalent bonds among collagen noumenon has been verified assuringly to have pregnant influences on its physicochemical properties and biological properties, enlightening to discuss the disparate modification technologies on specific effects on the multihierarchical structures and pivotal performances of collagen. In this review, various existing modification methods were classified from a new perspective, scilicet whether to introduce exogenous substances, to reveal the basic scientific theories of collagen modification. Understanding the role of modification technologies in the enhancement of collagen performance is crucial for developing novel collagen-based biomaterials. Moreover, the different modification effects caused by the interaction sites between the modifier and collagen, and the structure-activity relationship between the structure of the modifier and the properties of collagen were reviewed.

Abstract
In this paper we present a novel strategy to easily prepare biodegradable chitosan derived films as new packaging systems. Combination of chitosan, adipic acid and 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methyl-morpholinium chloride (DMTMM) allowed to obtain high-performing cross-linked films. Biobased glycerol was employed as plasticizer. An in-depth study was performed on ten different samples in order to evaluate the role of DMTMM as cross-linking agent. Experimental data showed that 15 wt% of DMTMM enhanced moisture content and moisture uptake (10.42% and 11.11%), water vapor permeability (0.13 10-7 g m-1 h-1 Pa-1) and good UV barrier properties. Additionally, 30 wt% of DMTMM significantly increased the tensile strength of films up to 83 MPa and elongation at break values reached 39.7%. Thermogravimetric, IR, XRD and SEM analysis confirmed that physical-mechanical properties of the obtained films were considerably improved, due to cross-linking by DMTMM, demonstrating promising properties for packaging applications.

Abstract
Collagen is widely used in medical field because of its excellent biocompatibility and bioactivity. To date, collagen for biomedical use is always derived from bovine or swine. The purpose of this study was to evaluate collagen-based biomaterials from non-mammalian donors for bone repair. Thus, tilapia skin collagen-hydroxyapatite (T-col/HAp) scaffolds were fabricated in three different proportions and then cross-linked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide-N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC-NHS). The scaffolds were evaluated for their microstructure, chemical and physical properties, mechanical strength and degradability. Then the in vitro responses of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to the scaffolds were investigated in terms of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization. At last, the scaffolds were implanted into rat skull critical defections to investigate the potential of osteogenic activities. As a result, the pore sizes and the porosities of the scaffolds were approximately 106.67–196.67 μm and 81.5%–66.7%. Pure collagen group showed a mechanical strength of 0.065 MPa, and the mechanical strength was significantly enhanced almost 17 times and 32 times in collagen/HAp ratio 1:4 and 1:9 groups. In vitro studies revealed the most prominent and healthy growth of BMSCs in collagen/HAp ratio 1:4 group. All the scaffolds showed certain osteogenic activities and those loaded with small amount of hydroxyapatite showed the strongest bioactivities. The micro-CT showed that the critical bone defect was almost filled with generated bone 6 months after implantation in collagen/HAp ratio 1:4 group. The biomechanics tests further confirmed the highest generated bone strength was in the collagen/HAp ratio 1:4 group. This study indicated aquatic collagen might be a potential alternative for type I collagen from mammals in bone tissue engineering. The combination of collagen and inorganic materials was also important and appropriate inorganic component loading can achieve both osteogenic quality and osteogenic efficiency to a certain extent.

Abstract
Nowadays, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is threatening the health of all mankind. Although many progresses on treatment of lung cancer have been achieved in the past few decades, the current treatment methods are still traditional surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, which had poor selectivity and side effects. Lower-toxicity and more efficient treatments are in sore need. In this paper, a smart nanodelivery platform based on photothermal therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy was constructed. The nanoparticles are composed of novel photothermal agents, Mn-modified phthalocyanine derivative (MnIIIPC), docetaxel (DTX), and an effective targeting molecule, hyaluronic acid. The nanoplatform could release Mn2+ from MnIIIPC@DTX@PLGA@Mn2+@HA(MDPMH) and probably activate tumor immunity through cGAS-STING and chemotherapy, respectively. Furthermore, DTX could be released in the process for removal of tumor cells. The “one-for-all” nanomaterial may shed some light on treating NSCLC in multiple methods.

Assessment of Melatonin-Cultured Collagen/Chitosan Scaffolds Cross-Linked by a Glyoxal Solution as Biomaterials for Wound Healing. Antioxidants (Basel) 2022; 11:antiox11030570. [PMID: 35326220 PMCID: PMC8945360 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11030570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2022] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Chitosan (CTS) and collagen (Coll) are natural biomaterials that have been extensively used in tissue engineering or wound healing applications, either separately or as composite materials. Most methods to fabricate CTS/Coll matrices employ chemical crosslinking to obtain solid and stable scaffolds with the necessary porosity and mechanical properties to facilitate regeneration. In this study, we comparatively assessed the physicochemical properties of 3D scaffolds loaded with a cross-linker, glyoxal. Using a scanning electron microscope, we evaluated the microstructure of resultant matrices and their mechanistic testing by the determination of the compressive modulus (Emod), the maximum force (Fmax), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy–Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR), and proliferation rate in vitro using human epidermal keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts cultured in presence of melatonin solution (10−5 M). We observed that enhanced content of collagen (50CTS/50Coll or 20CTS/80Coll compared to 80CTS/20Coll) significantly elevated the physicochemical capacities of resultant materials. Besides, presence of 5% glyoxal increased porosity, Emod and Fmax, compared to scaffolds without glyoxal. Finally, keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts cultured on subjected matrices in presence of melatonin revealed a prominently enhanced growth rate. This indicates that the combination of glyoxal and melatonin make it imperative to consider these materials as a promising approach for targeting skin tissue engineering or regenerative dermatology.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) was functionalized with a series of amino synthons (octylamine, polyethylene glycol amine, trifluoropropyl amine, rhodamine). Sodium hyaluronate (HAs) was first converted into its protonated form (HAp) and the reaction was conducted in DMSO by varying the initial ratio (-NH2 (synthon)/COOH (HAp)). HA derivatives were characterized by a combination of techniques (FTIR, 1H NMR, 1D diffusion-filtered 19F NMR, DOSY experiments), and degrees of substitution (DSHA) varying from 0.3% to 47% were determined, according to the grafted synthon. Nanohydrogels were then obtained by ionic gelation between functionalized hyaluronic acids and chitosan (CS) and tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a cross-linker. Nanohydrogels for which HA and CS were respectively labeled by rhodamine and fluorescein which are a fluorescent donor-acceptor pair were subjected to FRET experiments to evaluate the stability of these nano-assemblies.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are abundant natural polymers, which in nature are at times covalently modified with peptides and proteins. Polysaccharide-protein or polysaccharide-peptide conjugates, natural or otherwise, may have increased solubility, improved emulsion properties, prolonged circulation time, reduced immunogenicity, and enhanced selectivity for targeting specific tissues compared to native peptides and proteins. In this paper, we will review recent advances in synthetic methods for producing polysaccharide-protein conjugates and discuss their advantages with a focus on drug targeting.

Abstract
This work describes the preparation, characterization and functionalization with magnetic nanoparticles of a bone tissue-mimetic scaffold composed of collagen and hydroxyapatite obtained through a biomineralization process. Bone remodeling takes place over several weeks and the possibility to follow it in vivo in a quick and reliable way is still an outstanding issue. Therefore, this work aims to produce an implantable material that can be followed in vivo during bone regeneration by using the existing non-invasive imaging techniques (MRI). To this aim, suitably designed biocompatible SPIONs were linked to the hybrid scaffold using two different strategies, one involving naked SPIONs (nMNPs) and the other using coated and activated SPIONs (MNPs) exposing carboxylic acid functions allowing a covalent attachment between MNPs and collagen molecules. Physico-chemical characterization was carried out to investigate the morphology, crystallinity and stability of the functionalized materials followed by MRI analyses and evaluation of a radiotracer uptake ([99mTc]Tc-MDP). Cell proliferation assays in vitro were carried out to check the cytotoxicity and demonstrated no side effects due to the SPIONs. The achieved results demonstrated that the naked and coated SPIONs are more homogeneously distributed in the scaffold when incorporated during the synthesis process. This work demonstrated a suitable approach to develop a biomaterial for bone regeneration that allows the monitoring of the healing progress even for long-term follow-up studies.

Abstract
Biomineralization consists of a complex cascade of phenomena generating hybrid nano-structured materials based on organic (e.g., polymer) and inorganic (e.g., hydroxyapatite) components. Biomineralization is a biomimetic process useful to produce highly biomimetic and biocompatible materials resembling natural hard tissues such as bones and teeth. In detail, biomimetic materials, composed of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA) nucleated on an organic matrix, show extremely versatile chemical compositions and physical properties, which can be controlled to address specific challenges. Indeed, different parameters, including (i) the partial substitution of mimetic doping ions within the HA lattice, (ii) the use of different organic matrices, and (iii) the choice of cross-linking processes, can be finely tuned. In the present review, we mainly focused on calcium biomineralization. Besides regenerative medicine, these multifunctional materials have been largely exploited for other applications including 3D printable materials and in vitro three-dimensional (3D) models for cancer studies and for drug testing. Additionally, biomineralized multifunctional nano-particles can be involved in applications ranging from nanomedicine as fully bioresorbable drug delivery systems to the development of innovative and eco-sustainable UV physical filters for skin protection from solar radiations.

Abstract
Applications of natural hyaluronic acid (HYH) for the fabrication of organic-inorganic composites for biomedical applications are described. Such composites combine unique functional properties of HYH with functional properties of hydroxyapatite, various bioceramics, bioglass, biocements, metal nanoparticles, and quantum dots. Functional properties of advanced composite gels, scaffold materials, cements, particles, films, and coatings are described. Benefiting from the synergy of properties of HYH and inorganic components, advanced composites provide a platform for the development of new drug delivery materials. Many advanced properties of composites are attributed to the ability of HYH to promote biomineralization. Properties of HYH are a key factor for the development of colloidal and electrochemical methods for the fabrication of films and protective coatings for surface modification of biomedical implants and the development of advanced biosensors. Overcoming limitations of traditional materials, HYH is used as a biocompatible capping, dispersing, and structure-directing agent for the synthesis of functional inorganic materials and composites. Gel-forming properties of HYH enable a facile and straightforward approach to the fabrication of antimicrobial materials in different forms. Of particular interest are applications of HYH for the fabrication of biosensors. This review summarizes manufacturing strategies and mechanisms and outlines future trends in the development of functional biocomposites.

Abstract
As a biocompatible and bioactive natural tissue engineering collagen scaffold, porcine acellular dermal matrix (pADM) has limitations for the application in tissue regeneration due to its low strength and rapid biodegradation. Herein, to get a good wound dressing, the epoxy group was added to N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC) to synthesize the epoxidized N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (EHTCC), and the porcine acellular dermal matrix was modified with EHTCC at different dosage of 0, 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20%. The properties of the EHTCC-pADM were evaluated. The results indicated that the thermal stability and mechanical properties of EHTCC-pADM were remarkably improved, and the natural conformation of the matrix was maintained, which was beneficial to natural and excellent biological properties of the pADM. According to the test results of water contact angle, the hydrophilicity of the material was improved, which is conducive to cell adhesion, proliferation and growth. Cytotoxicity experiments showed that the introduction of EHTCC would not adversely affect the biocompatibility of the materials. In vivo experiments showed that EHTCC-pADM could promote wound healing. In conclusion, EHTCC-pADM is a potential collagen-based dressing for wound healing.

Abstract
Construction of nanoscale delivery systems from natural food biopolymer complexes have attracted increasing interests in the fields of food industries. In this study, novel carboxymethyl konjac glucomannan/ chitosan (CMKGM/CS) nanogels with and without 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) /N-hydroxysuccinimide) (EDC/NHS)-initiated crosslinking were prepared. The physicochemical and structural properties of the CMKGM/CS nanogels and their potential to be a delivery vehicle for curcumin were investigated. Compared to original uncrosslinked nanogels, crosslinking did not alter particle size and morphology but decreased zeta potential of nanogels. Fourier transform infrared spectrum confirmed that the amide linkage was formed between CMKGM and CS, which obviously enhanced the stability of crosslinked nanogels under gastrointestinal conditions. Furthermore, the crosslinked nanogels not only had higher encapsulation efficiency of curcumin but also better sustained release behavior under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. These findings suggested that the crosslinked CMKGM/CS nanogels might be a promising delivery system for nutrients.

Abstract
Blending of different biopolymers, e.g., collagen, chitosan, silk fibroin and cross-linking modifications of these mixtures can lead to new materials with improved physico-chemical properties, compared to single-component scaffolds. Three-dimensional scaffolds based on three-component mixtures of silk fibroin, collagen and chitosan, chemically cross-linked, were prepared and their physico-chemical and biological properties were evaluated. A mixture of EDC (N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N’-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride) and NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) was used as a cross-linking agent. FTIR was used to observe the position of the peaks characteristic for collagen, chitosan and silk fibroin. The following properties depending on the scaffold structure were studied: swelling behavior, liquid uptake, moisture content, porosity, density, and mechanical parameters. Scanning Electron Microscopy imaging was performed. Additionally, the biological properties of these materials were assessed, by metabolic activity assay. The results showed that the three-component mixtures, cross-linked by EDC/NHS and prepared by lyophilization method, presented porous structures. They were characterized by a high swelling degree. The composition of scaffolds has an influence on mechanical properties. All of the studied materials were cytocompatible with MG-63 osteoblast-like cells.

Abstract
Hypoxia and sepsis are key concerns towards modern regenerative medicine. Oxygen generating biomaterials having antibacterial property aims to answer these concerns. Hypoxia promotes reactive oxygen species at the implant site that delays wound healing. Sepsis in wound also contributes to delay in wound healing. Therefore, scaffold with antibacterial property and oxygen-producing capacities have shown ability to promote wound healing. In the present study oxygen releasing, ciprofloxacin loaded collagen chitosan scaffold was fabricated for sustained oxygen delivery. Calcium peroxide (CPO) acted as a chemical oxygen source. Oxygen release pattern exhibited a sustained release of oxygen with uniform deposition of CPO on the scaffold. The drug release study shows a prolonged, continuous, and sustained release of ciprofloxacin. Cell culture studies depict that scaffold has suitable cell attachment and migration properties for fibroblasts. In vivo studies performed in the skin flip model visually shows better wound healing and less necrosis. Histological studies show the maintenance of tissue architecture and the deposition of collagen. The results demonstrate that the proposed CPO coated ciprofloxacin loaded collagen-chitosan scaffold can be a promising candidate for skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nowadays, artificial bone materials have been widely applied in the filling of non-weight bearing bone defects, but scarcely ever in weight-bearing bone defects. This study aims to develop an artificial bone with excellent mechanical properties and good osteogenic capability. Firstly, the collagen-thermosensitive hydrogel-calcium phosphate (CTC) composites were prepared as follows: dissolving thermosensitive hydrogel at 4 °C, then mixing with type I collagen as well as tricalcium phosphate (CaP) powder, and moulding the composites at 37 °C. Next, the CTC composites were subjected to evaluate for their chemical composition, micro morphology, pore size, Shore durometer, porosity and water absorption ability. Following this, the CTC composites were implanted into the muscle of mice while the 70% hydroxyapatite/30% β-tricalcium phosphate (HA/TCP) biomaterials were set as the control group; 8 weeks later, the osteoinductive abilities of biomaterials were detected by histological staining. Finally, the CTC and HA/TCP biomaterials were used to fill the large segments of tibia defects in mice. The bone repairing and load-bearing abilities of materials were evaluated by histological staining, X-ray and micro-CT at week 8. Both the CTC and HA/TCP biomaterials could induce ectopic bone formation in mice; however, the CTC composites tended to produce larger areas of bone and bone marrow tissues than HA/TCP. Simultaneously, bone-repairing experiments showed that HA/TCP biomaterials were easily crushed or pushed out by new bone growth as the material has a poor hardness. In comparison, the CTC composites could be replaced gradually by newly formed bone and repair larger segments of bone defects. The CTC composites trialled in this study have better mechanical properties, osteoinductivity and weight-bearing capacity than HA/TCP. The CTC composites provide an experimental foundation for the synthesis of artificial bone and a new option for orthopedic patients.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma has a high prevalence among children and adolescents. Common treatments of this disease are not promising enough. Molecular processes involved in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma are not fully understood. Besides, the remnants of tumor cells after surgery can cause bone destruction and recurrence of the disease. Thus, there is a need to develop novel drugs or enhancing the currently-used drugs as well as identifying bone-repairing methods. Chitosan is a natural compound produced by the deacetylation of chitin. Research has shown that chitosan can be used in various fields due to its beneficial effects, such as biodegradability and biocompatibility. Regarding cancer, chitosan exerts several anti-tumor activities. Moreover, it can be used in diagnostic techniques, drug delivery systems, and cell culture methods. Herein, we aim to discuss the potential roles of chitosan in studying and treating osteosarcoma. We review the literature on chitosan's applications as a drug delivery system and how it can be combined with other substances to improve its ability of local drug delivery. We take a look into the studies concerning the possible benefits of chitosan in the field of bone tissue engineering and 3D culturing. Furthermore, anti-cancer activities of different compounds of chitosan are reviewed.

Abstract
Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely distributed in the human body, and it is heavily involved in many physiological functions such as tissue hydration, wound repair, and cell migration. In recent years, HA and its derivatives have been widely used as advanced bioactive polymers for bone regeneration. Many medical products containing HA have been developed because this natural polymer has been proven to be nontoxic, noninflammatory, biodegradable, and biocompatible. Moreover, HA-based composite scaffolds have shown good potential for promoting osteogenesis and mineralization. Recently, many HA-based biomaterials have been fabricated for bone regeneration by combining with electrospinning and 3D printing technology. In this review, the polymer structures, processing, properties, and applications in bone tissue engineering are summarized. The challenges and prospects of HA polymers are also discussed.

Abstract
Advances in biomaterials and the need for patient-specific bone scaffolds require modern manufacturing approaches in addition to a design strategy. Hybrid materials such as those with functionally graded properties are highly needed in tissue replacement and repair. However, their constituents, proportions, sizes, configurations and their connection to each other are a challenge to manufacturing. On the other hand, various bone defect sizes and sites require a cost-effective readily adaptive manufacturing technique to provide components (scaffolds) matching with the anatomical shape of the bone defect. Additive manufacturing or three-dimensional (3D) printing is capable of fabricating functional physical components with or without porosity by depositing the materials layer-by-layer using 3D computer models. Therefore, it facilitates the production of advanced bone scaffolds with the feasibility of making changes to the model. This review paper first discusses the development of a computer-aided-design (CAD) approach for the manufacture of bone scaffolds, from the anatomical data acquisition to the final model. It also provides information on the optimization of scaffold's internal architecture, advanced materials, and process parameters to achieve the best biomimetic performance. Furthermore, the review paper describes the advantages and limitations of 3D printing technologies applied to the production of bone tissue scaffolds.

Abstract
Collagen-based biomaterials constitute one of the most widely studied types of materials for biomedical applications. Low thermal and mechanical parameters are the main disadvantages of such structures. Moreover, they present low stability in the case of degradation by collagenase. To improve the properties of collagen-based materials, different types of cross-linkers have been researched. In recent years, phenolic acids have been studied as collagen modifiers. Mainly, tannic acid has been tested for collagen modification as it interacts with a polymeric chain by strong hydrogen bonds. When compared to pure collagen, such complexes show both antimicrobial activity and improved physicochemical properties. Less research reporting on other phenolic acids has been published. This review is a summary of the present knowledge about phenolic acids (e.g., tannic, ferulic, gallic, and caffeic acid) application as collagen cross-linkers. The studies concerning collagen-based materials with phenolic acids are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Tooth loss is a common consequence of a huge number of causes and can decrease the quality of humans’ life. Tooth is a complex organ composed of soft connective tissues and mineralized tissues of which dentin is the most voluminous component whose formation is regulated by a very complex process displaying several similarities with osteogenesis. Calcium phosphates, in particular hydroxyapatite (HA), is the phase present in higher amount into the structure of dentin, characterized by microscopic longitudinal dentinal tubules. To address the challenge of dental tissue regeneration, here we propose a novel biomimetic approach, to design hybrid scaffolds resembling the physico-chemical features of the natural mineralized tissues, suitable to recreate an appropriate microenvironment that stimulates cell colonization and proliferation, therefore effective for improving regenerative approach in dental applications. Biomineralization is the adopted synthesis as a nature inspired process consisting in the nucleation of magnesium-doped-hydroxyapatite (MgHA) nanocrystals on the gelatin (Gel) matrix generating hybrid flakes (Gel/MgHA) featured by a Gel:MgHA weight ratio close to 20:80 and size of 50–70 μm. Chemical and topotactic constrains affect the formation of MgHA mineral phase on the organic template, generating quasi-amorphous MgHA as revealed by XRD analysis and Ca/P ratio lower than 1.67, resembling the chemical and biological features of the natural apatite. The Gel/MgHA was then merged into the polymeric blend made of chitosan (Chit) and Gel to obtain a 3D porous scaffold with polymers: MgHA weight ratio of 40:60 and featured by an aligned porous structure as obtained by controlled freeze-drying process. The overall composite shows a swelling ratio of about 15 times after 6 h in PBS. The chemical stability was assured by means of a dehydrothermal cross-linking treatment (DHT) keeping the degradation lower than 20% after 28 days, while cell adhesion and proliferation were evaluated using a mouse fibroblast cell line.

Abstract
In this study, three-dimensional materials based on blends of silk fibroin (SF), collagen (Coll), and chitosan (CTS) cross-linked by glyoxal solution were prepared and the properties of the new materials were studied. The structure of the composites and the interactions between scaffold components were studied using FTIR spectroscopy. The microstructure was observed using a scanning electron microscope. The following properties of the materials were measured: density and porosity, moisture content, and swelling degree. Mechanical properties of the 3D materials under compression were studied. Additionally, the metabolic activity of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells on materials was examined. It was found that the materials were characterized by a high swelling degree (up to 3000% after 1 h of immersion) and good porosity (in the range of 80–90%), which can be suitable for tissue engineering applications. None of the materials showed cytotoxicity toward MG-63 cells.

Abstract
Collagen materials are widely used in biomedicine and in cosmetics. However, their properties require improvement for several reasons. In this work, collagen solution as well as collagen films were modified by the addition of ferulic acid (FA). Thin collagen films containing FA were obtained by solvent evaporation. The properties of collagen solution have been studied by steady shear tests. The structure and surface properties of collagen thin films were studied. It was found that for collagen solution with 5% addition of FA, the apparent viscosity was the highest, whereas the collagen solutions with other additions of FA (1%, 2%, and 10%), no significant difference in the apparent viscosity was observed. Thin films prepared from collagen with 1 and 2% FA addition were homogeneous, whereas films with 5% and 10% FA showed irregularity in the surface properties. Mechanical properties, such as maximum tensile strength and elongation at break, were significantly higher for films with 10% FA than for films with smaller amount of FA. Young modulus was similar for films with 1% and 10% FA addition, but bigger than for 2% and 5% of FA in collagen films. The cross-linking of collagen with ferulic acid meant that prepared thin films were elastic with better mechanical properties than collagen films.

Abstract
Osteomyelitis is a progressive inflammatory disease requiring prolonged systemic treatment with high antibiotic doses, and is very challenging to be treated. The use of locally applied antibiotics loaded on a biodegradable carrier at surgery sites is hypothesized to prevent post-operative osteomyelitis, while providing site-specific drug release. In this work, chitosan-based calcium phosphate composites were prepared and loaded with moxifloxacin hydrochloride. The in-situ formation of calcium phosphates within the composite was experimentally confirmed by Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that the composites provided complete drug release over three days, and the selected composite formulation induced differentiation and proliferation of osteoblasts, while reducing bacterial count, inflammation and intra-medullary fibrosis in bone tissue specimens of osteomyelitis-induced animal model. Hence, we can conclude that the in situ prepared antibiotic-loaded calcium phosphate chitosan composite is promising in preventing post-operative osteomyelitis, and is worthy of clinical experimentation.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG), is a major component of skin extracellular matrix (ECM) and it is involved in the inflammatory response, angiogenesis, and tissue regeneration process. Due to the intrinsic properties of HA (such as biocompatibility, biodegradability and hydrophilic character), it has been used to produce different wound dressings, namely sponges, films, hydrogels, and electrospun membranes. Herein, an overview of the different HA-based wound dressings that have been produced so far is provided as well as the future directions regarding the strategies aimed to improve the mechanical stability of HA-based wound dressings, along with the incorporation of biomolecules intended to ameliorate their biological performance during the healing process.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) exists naturally as an important component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the human body. In recent decades, HA has been widely used in bone regeneration, and is currently a popular topic, particularly in the craniofacial and dental fields. From maxilla augmentation to craniofacial bone trauma, there is now a large demand for bone regenerative therapy. Serving as a cell-seeding scaffold or a carrier for bioactive components, hyaluronic acid-incorporated scaffolds and carriers in bone regeneration can be fabricated into either rigid or colloidal forms. Since the type of material used is a critical factor in the biological properties of a scaffold, HA derivatives or HA-incorporated composite scaffolds have shown excellent potential for improving osteogenesis and mineralization. Furthermore, in order to better enhance osteogenesis, local delivery carriers based on hyaluronic acid derivatives, rather than specifically serving as scaffolds, can be established by loading different osteoinductive or osteogenetic components and acquiring different release patterns. Such osteoinductive carriers immobilized on implant surfaces are also effective in improving osseointegration. Thus, as such a competent biomaterial, hyaluronic acid should be considered a promising tool in bone regeneration.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the properties of porcine cartilage type II collagen scaffolds crosslinked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide/N-hydroxy-succinamide (EDC/NHS) under different conditions. The porous EDC/NHS-crosslinked scaffolds were obtained through a two-step freeze-drying process. To determine the optimal crosslinking condition, we used different solvents and various crosslinking temperatures to prepare the scaffolds. Three crosslinking solutions were prepared with different solvents, photographs were taken with a flash in the darkroom, and light transmission was observed. Type II collagen was crosslinked on a horizontal shaker at a speed of 60 r/min according to the above grouping conditions, and then the structural change of the scaffold in each group was observed. To investigate the swelling ratio and the in vitro degradation of the collagen scaffold, tests were also carried out by immersion of the scaffolds in a PBS solution and digestion in type II collagenase, respectively. The influence of the scaffolds on the proliferation of chondrocytes was assessed by the methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium colorimetric assay. The morphology of the crosslinked scaffolds cocultured with chondrocytes was characterized by a scanning electron microscope. The results proved that 75% alcohol and a crosslinking temperature of 37 °C are recommended. Collagen fibrils are more densely packed after crosslinking with EDC/NHS and have a more uniform structure than that of noncrosslinked ones. The EDC-crosslinked scaffolds possessed excellent mechanical property and biocompatibility.

Abstract
Synthesis of biomimetic materials for implants and prostheses is a hot topic in nanobiotechnology strategies. Today the major approach of orthopaedic implants in hard tissue engineering is represented by titanium implants. A comparative study of hybrid thin coatings deposition was performed by spin coating and matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) onto titanium substrates. The Collagen-calcium phosphate (Coll-CaPs) combination was selected as the best option to mimic natural bone tissue. To accelerate the mineralization process, Zn2+ ions were inserted by substitution in CaPs. A superior thin film homogeneity was assessed by MAPLE, as shown by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microscopy. A decrease of P-O and amide absorbance bands was observed as a consequence of different Zn2+ amounts. A variety of structural modifications of the apatite layer are then generated, which influenced the confinement process towards the collagen template. The in-vitro Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) assay demonstrated the ability of Coll/Zn2+-CaPs coatings to stimulate the mineralization process as a result of synergic effects in the collagen-Zn2+ substituted apatite. For both deposition methods, the formation of droplets associated to the growth of CaPs particulates inside the collagen matrix was visualized. This supports the prospective behavior of MAPLE biomimetic coatings to induce mineralization, as an essential step of fast implant integration with vivid tissues.

Abstract
Nowadays, tissue and organ failures resulted from injury, aging accounts, diseases or other type of damages is one of the most important health problems with an increasing incidence worldwide. Current treatments have limitations including, low graft efficiency, shortage of donor organs, as well as immunological problems. In this context, tissue engineering (TE) was introduced as a novel and versatile approach for restoring tissue/organ function using living cells, scaffold and bioactive (macro-)molecules. Among these, scaffold as a three-dimensional (3D) support material, provide physical and chemical cues for seeding cells and has an essential role in cell missions. Among the wide verity of scaffolding materials, natural or synthetic biopolymers are the most commonly biomaterials mainly due to their unique physicochemical and biological features. In this context, naturally occurring biological macromolecules are particular of interest owing to their low immunogenicity, excellent biocompatibility and cytocompatibility, as well as antigenicity that qualified them as popular choices for scaffolding applications. In this review, we highlighted the potentials of natural and synthetic polymers as scaffolding materials. The properties, advantages, and disadvantages of both polymer types as well as the current status, challenges, and recent progresses regarding the application of them as scaffolding biomaterials are also discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogels that mimic the native extracellular matrix were prepared from hyaluronic acid (HA) and amine-terminated dendritic elastin-like peptides (denELPs) of generations 1, 2, and 3 (G1, 2, and 3) as crosslinking units. The physical properties of the hydrogels were investigated by rheology, scanning electron microscopy, swelling tests, small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and model drug loading and release assays. Hydrogel properties depended on the generation number of the denELP, which contained structural segments based on the repeating GLPGL pentamer. Hydrogels with higher generation denELPs (G2 and 3) showed similar properties, but those prepared from G1 denELPs were rheologically weaker, had a larger mesh size, absorbed less model drug, and released the drug more quickly. Interestingly, most of the HA_denELP hydrogels studied here remained transparent upon gelation, but after lyophilization and addition of water retained opaque, "solid-like" regions for up to 4 d during rehydration. This rehydration process was carefully evaluated through time-course SAXS studies, and the phenomenon was attributed to the formation of pre-coacervates in the gel-forming step, which slowly swelled in water during rehydration. These findings provide important insights into the behavior of ELP-based hydrogels, in which physical crosslinking of the ELP domains can be controlled to tune mechanical properties, highlighting the potential of HA_denELP hydrogels as biomaterials.

Importance of crosslinking strategies in designing smart biomaterials for bone tissue engineering: A systematic review. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING.

Abstract
Biomaterials are of significant importance in biomedical applications as these biological macromolecules have moderately replaced classical tissue grafting techniques owing to its beneficial properties. Despite of its favourable advantages, poor mechanical and degradative properties of biomaterials are of great concern. To this regard, crosslinkers have emerged as a smart and promising tool to augment the biological functionality of biopolymers. Different crosslinkers have been extensively used in past decades to develop bone substitutes, but the implications of toxic response and adverse reactions are truly precarious after implantation. Traditional crosslinker like glutaraldehyde has been widely used in numerous bio-implants but the potential toxicity is largely being debated with many disproving views. As alternative, green chemicals, enzymatic and non-enzymatic chemicals, bi-functional epoxies, zero-length crosslinkers and physical crosslinkers have been introduced to achieve the desired properties of a bone substitute. In this review, systematic literature search was performed on PubMed database to identify the most commonly used crosslinkers for developing promising bone like materials. The relevant articles were identified, analysed and reviewed in this paper giving due importance to different crosslinking methodologies and comparing their effectiveness and efficacy in regard to material composition, scaffold production, crosslinker dosage, toxicity and immunogenicity. This review summarizes the recent developments in crosslinking mechanism with an emphasis placed on their ability to link proteins through bonding reactions. Finally, this study also covers the convergent and divergent methodologies of crosslinking strategies also giving special importance in retrieving the current limitations and future opportunities of crosslinking modalities in bone tissue engineering.
