[PMID: 38848798 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124311] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/04/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024]
Abstract
The challenges in treating oral cancer include the limited effectiveness and systemic side effects of conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Hyaluronic acid (HA) based Glycyrrhizin (GL) and Methotrexate (MT) loaded localized delivery systems, specifically nanofiber (NF) based platforms, were developed to address these challenges. The electrospinning method was used for the successful fabrication of a homogenous NF membrane and characterized for morphology, drug entrapment efficiency, tensile strength, and ex-vivo mucoadhesive study. Also, it was evaluated for in-vitro drug release profile, ex-vivo drug permeability, in-vitro anti-inflammatory, apoptosis assay by MTT and flow, and against specific cell lines in order to determine their potential for therapeutic use. Superior tensile breaking force (50 g), mucoadhesive strength of 153 gm/cm2, drug permeability, and releasing properties of designed NF, making them perfect requirements for oral cavity delivery. The anticancer potential of MT in the MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis was significantly increased in oral epidermal carcinoma cell (KB cell) for drug-loaded NF with 63.97 ± 1.99 % apoptosis, at 24 h. With these incorporated, GL with MT in NF had an anti-inflammatory potential, also demonstrated in-vitro and in-vivo. In the Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma (EAC) induced mice model, the optimal formulation's shows better potential for tumor regression when comparing the developed NF formulation to the drugs. Experimental results show that by lowering mucositis-related inflammation and enhancing the effectiveness of oral cancer treatment, a developed nanofiber-based local drug delivery system offers a feasible strategy for managing oral cancer.

Abstract
Impaired polarization of M1 to M2 macrophages has been reported in diabetic wounds. We aimed to improve this polarization by down-regulation of expression of the "Suppressor of Cytokine Signaling 3" (SOCS3) gene in macrophages. Two oligodeoxynucleotide (ASO) sequences were designed against SOC3 mRNA and were loaded to mannosylated-polyethyleneimine (Man-PEI). The optimum N/P ratio for Man-PEI-ASO was determined to be 8 based on loading efficiency, particle size, zeta potential, cellular uptake and cytotoxicity assay. pH stability of ASO in Man-PEI-ASO and its protection from DNase I was confirmed. After in vitro treatment of macrophages with Man-PEI-ASO, SOCS3 was downregulated, SOCS1 upregulated, and SOCS1/SOCS3 ratio increased. Also, expressions of macrophage markers of M2 (IL-10, Arg1, CD206) increased and those of M1 (IL-1β, NOS2, CD68) decreased, and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α and IL-1β) decreased while that of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 increased. All suggested a polarization into M2 phenotype. Finally, the Man-PEI-ASO was loaded in hydrogel and applied to a diabetic wound model in mice. It improved the healing to the level observed in non-diabetic wounds. We show that using antisense sequences against SOC3 mRNA, macrophage polarization could be directed into the M2 phenotype and healing of diabetic wound could be highly improved.

Abstract
The clinical demand for tissue-engineered vascular grafts is still rising, and there are many challenges that need to be overcome, in particular, to obtain functional small-diameter grafts. The many advances made in cell culture, biomaterials, manufacturing techniques, and tissue engineering methods have led to various promising solutions for vascular graft production, with available options able to recapitulate both biological and mechanical properties of native blood vessels. Due to the rising interest in materials with bioactive potentials, materials from natural sources have also recently gained more attention for vascular tissue engineering, and new strategies have been developed to solve the disadvantages related to their use. In this review, the progress made in tissue-engineered vascular graft production is discussed. We highlight, in particular, the use of natural materials as scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is an emerging field of study that incorporates the principles of biology, medicine, and engineering for designing biological substitutes to maintain, restore, or improve tissue functions with the goal of avoiding organ transplantation. Amongst the various scaffolding techniques, electrospinning is one of the most widely used techniques to synthesise a nanofibrous scaffold. Electrospinning as a potential tissue engineering scaffolding technique has attracted a great deal of interest and has been widely discussed in many studies. The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanofibres, coupled with their ability to fabricate scaffolds that may mimic extracellular matrices, facilitates cell migration, proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. These are all very desirable properties for TE applications. However, despite its widespread use and distinct advantages, electrospun scaffolds suffer from two major practical limitations: poor cell penetration and poor load-bearing applications. Furthermore, electrospun scaffolds have low mechanical strength. Several solutions have been offered by various research groups to overcome these limitations. This review provides an overview of the electrospinning techniques used to synthesise nanofibres for TE applications. In addition, we describe current research on nanofibre fabrication and characterisation, including the main limitations of electrospinning and some possible solutions to overcome these limitations.

Abstract
Today, a wide variety of bio- and nanomaterials have been deployed for cardiovascular tissue engineering (TE), including polymers, metal oxides, graphene/its derivatives, organometallic complexes/composites based on inorganic-organic components, among others. Despite several advantages of these materials with unique mechanical, biological, and electrical properties, some challenges still remain pertaining to their biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, and possible risk factors (e.g., teratogenicity or carcinogenicity), restricting their future clinical applications. Natural polysaccharide- and protein-based (nano)structures with the benefits of biocompatibility, sustainability, biodegradability, and versatility have been exploited in the field of cardiovascular TE focusing on targeted drug delivery, vascular grafts, engineered cardiac muscle, etc. The usage of these natural biomaterials and their residues offers several advantages in terms of environmental aspects such as alleviating emission of greenhouse gases as well as the production of energy as a biomass consumption output. In TE, the development of biodegradable and biocompatible scaffolds with potentially three-dimensional structures, high porosity, and suitable cellular attachment/adhesion still needs to be comprehensively studied. In this context, bacterial cellulose (BC) with high purity, porosity, crystallinity, unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility, high water retention, and excellent elasticity can be considered as promising candidate for cardiovascular TE. However, several challenges/limitations regarding the absence of antimicrobial factors and degradability along with the low yield of production and extensive cultivation times (in large-scale production) still need to be resolved using suitable hybridization/modification strategies and optimization of conditions. The biocompatibility and bioactivity of BC-based materials along with their thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability are crucial aspects in designing TE scaffolds. Herein, cardiovascular TE applications of BC-based materials are deliberated, with a focus on the most recent advancements, important challenges, and future perspectives. Other biomaterials with cardiovascular TE applications and important roles of green nanotechnology in this field of science are covered to better compare and comprehensively review the subject. The application of BC-based materials and the collective roles of such biomaterials in the assembly of sustainable and natural-based scaffolds for cardiovascular TE are discussed.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is an analytical method based on light-matter interactions that can interrogate the vibrational modes of matter and provide representative molecular fingerprints. Mediated by its label-free, non-invasive nature, and high molecular specificity, Raman-based techniques have become ubiquitous tools for in situ characterization of materials. This review comprehensively describes the theoretical and practical background of Raman spectroscopy and its advanced variants. The numerous facets of material characterization that Raman scattering can reveal, including biomolecular identification, solid-to-solid phase transitions, and spatial mapping of biomolecular species in bioactive materials, are highlighted. The review illustrates the potential of these techniques in the context of active biomedical material design and development by highlighting representative studies from the literature. These studies cover the use of Raman spectroscopy for the characterization of both natural and synthetic biomaterials, including engineered tissue constructs, biopolymer systems, ceramics, and nanoparticle formulations, among others. To increase the accessibility and adoption of these techniques, the present review also provides the reader with practical recommendations on the integration of Raman techniques into the experimental laboratory toolbox. Finally, perspectives on how recent developments in plasmon- and coherently-enhanced Raman spectroscopy can propel Raman from underutilized to critical for biomaterial development are provided.

Abstract
Electrospinning (ES) is one of the most investigated processes for the convenient, adaptive, and scalable manufacturing of nano/micro/macro-fibers. With this technique, virgin and composite fibers may be made in different designs using a wide range of polymers (both natural and synthetic). Electrospun protein fibers (EPF) shave desirable capabilities such as biocompatibility, low toxicity, degradability, and solvolysis. However, issues with the proteins' processibility have limited their widespread utilization. This paper gives an overview of the features of protein-based biomaterials, which are already being employed and has the potential to be exploited for ES. State-of-the-art examples showcasing the usefulness of EPFs in the food and biomedical industries, including tissue engineering, wound dressings, and drug delivery, provided in the applications. The EPFs' future perspective and the challenge they pose are presented at the end. It is believed that protein and biopolymeric nanofibers will soon be manufactured on an industrial scale owing to the limitations of employing synthetic materials, as well as enormous potential of nanofibers in other fields, such as active food packaging, regenerative medicine, drug delivery, cosmetic, and filtration.

Abstract
The present study is aimed at fabricating thyme oil loaded hydrogel membranes composed of κ-carrageenan (CG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which can provide moist environment and prevent infections for rapid wound healing. Membranes were prepared with different amounts of PEG via solvent casting technique under ambient conditions. Physicochemical properties of CG-PEG membranes as a function of the PEG content were investigated. The surface morphology of membranes displayed smoother surfaces with increasing PEG content up to 40%. In addition, the interaction of PEG with CG polymer chains was evaluated in terms of Free and bound PEG fraction within the membrane matrix. Furthermore, thyme oil (TO) was added to enhance the antibacterial properties of CG-PEG membranes. These membranes showed >95% antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria depending on the TO content. Suggesting the great potential of these membranes as a strong candidate for providing an effective antimicrobial nature in human healthcare.

Influence of substrate temperature parameter on electrospinning process: example of application to the formation of gelatin fibers. Polym Bull (Berl) 2022.

Abstract
AbstractThe substrate temperature was investigated to broaden the applicability of controlling the morphology of polymeric fibers produced during the electrospinning process. A laboratory electrospinning setup was designed using a substrate heated in a temperature range of 25 °C to 100 °C. A gelatin polymer was used as an example to obtain beads-free gelatin fibers by fixing the main electrospinning parameters. Based on XRD, FTIR, and DSC techniques, the electrospun gelatin fibers did not show any change in their chemical composition up to 100 °C. Heating the substrate at 50 °C may be the best selection factor to obtain gelatin fibers; the fiber diameters experienced a significant decrease from 680 ± 140 nm to 420 ± 120 nm with increasing substrate temperature from 25 to 50 °C, respectively. They showed stability of the diameter at 380 ± 130 nm and 390 ± 130 nm when increasing substrate temperatures from 75 to 100 °C, respectively, with a significant variation in their diameter distribution. Therefore, this ability to control the electrospinning process using a heated substrate makes it promising for fabricating electrospun beads-free fibers of biopolymers such as gelatin for tissue engineering and drug delivery carriers.

Abstract
A novel herbal extract-loaded gel containing several biofunctional extracts, including green tea, Zingiber officinale Rosc, Phyllanthus emblica, and salicylic acid, was developed for acne vulgaris. These natural raw materials were blended with suitable dosages of gelatin and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to produce a biocompatible herbal gel. The physical chemistry properties of the hydrogel were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), rheometry, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the hydrogel showed good mechanical and morphological characteristics. The herbal extract-loaded hydrogel mimicked extracellular matrix properties and showed good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and various advantages, serving as a potential wound dressing material because of its high moisture retention ability, wound exudate absorption behavior, and biocompatibility. It exhibited moderate-high antioxidative and anti-inflammatory qualities that were important for dermis wound closure. The clinical trial results showed that most patients experienced moderate to high healing rates, and four of twenty-four individuals (16.67%) had recovery area ratios greater than 80%. This herbal extract-loaded hydrogel has effective ingredients and excellent mechanical properties as a bioactive dressing agent for acne treatment.

Abstract
Application of wound-healing/dressing biomaterials is amongst the most promising approaches for wound repair through protection from pathogen invasion/contamination, maintaining moisture, absorbing exudates, modulating inflammation, and facilitating the healing process. A wide range of materials are used to fabricate wound-healing/dressing biomaterials. Active wound-healing/dressings are next-generation alternatives for passive biomaterials, which provide a physical barrier and induce different biological activities, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, and proliferative effects. Cellulose-based biomaterials are particularly promising due to their tunable physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological properties, accessibility, low cost, and biocompatibility. A thorough description and analysis of wound-healing/dressing structures fabricated from cellulose-based biomaterials is discussed in this review. We emphasize and highlight the fabrication methods, applied bioactive molecules, and discuss the obtained results from in vitro and in vivo models of cellulose-based wound-healing biomaterials. This review paper revealed that cellulose-based biomaterials have promising potential as the wound-dressing/healing materials and can be integrated with various bioactive agents. Overall, cellulose-based biomaterials are shown to be effective and sophisticated structures for delivery applications, safe and multi-customizable dressings, or grafts for wound-healing applications.

Abstract
Functional tissue engineered heart valves (TEHV) have been an elusive goal for nearly 30 years. Among the persistent challenges are the requirements for engineered valve leaflets that possess nonlinear elastic tissue biomechanical properties, support quiescent fibroblast phenotype, and resist osteogenic differentiation. Nanocellulose is an attractive tunable biological material that has not been employed to this application. In this study, we fabricated a series of photocrosslinkable composite hydrogels mNCC-MeGel (mNG) by conjugating TEMPO-modified nanocrystalline cellulose (mNCC) onto the backbone of methacrylated gelatin (MeGel). Their structures were characterized by FTIR, 1 HNMR and uniaxial compression testing. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HADMSC) were encapsulated within the material and evaluated for valve interstitial cell phenotypes over 14 days culture in both normal and osteogenic media. Compared to the MeGel control group, the HADMSC encapsulated within mNG showed decreased alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression and increased vimentin and aggrecan expression, suggesting the material supports a quiescent fibroblastic phenotype. Under osteogenic media conditions, HADMSC within mNG hydrogels showed lower expression of osteogenic genes, including Runx2 and osteocalcin, indicating resistance toward calcification. As a proof of principle, the mNG hydrogel, combined with a viscosity enhancing agent, was used to 3D bioprint a tall, self-standing tubular structure that sustained cell viability. Together, these results identify mNG as an attractive biomaterial for TEHV applications.

Abstract
We report here a one-step aqueous method for the synthesis of isolated and purified polysaccharide-amino acid conjugates. Two different types of amino acid esters: glycine methyl ester and L-tryptophan methyl ester, as model compounds for peptides, were conjugated to the polysaccharide carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) in water using carbodiimide at ambient conditions. Detailed and systematic pH-dependent charge titration and spectroscopy (infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance: 1H, 13C- DEPT 135, 1H- 13C HMBC/HSQC correlation), UV-vis, elemental and ninhydrin analysis provided solid and direct evidence for the successful conjugation of the amino acid esters to the CMC backbone via an amide bond. As the concentration of amino acid esters increased, a conjugation efficiency of 20-80% was achieved. Activated charcoal aided base-catalyzed deprotection of the methyl esters improved the solubility of the conjugates in water. The approach proposed in this work should have the potential to tailor the backbone of polysaccharides containing di- or tri-peptides.

Abstract
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble derivative of cellulose and a major type of cellulose ether prepared by the chemical attack of alkylating reagents on the activated non-crystalline regions of cellulose. It is the first FDA approved cellulose derivative which can be targeted for desired chemical modifications. In this review, the properties along with current advances in the physical and chemical modifications of CMC are discussed. Further, CMC and modified CMC could be engineered to fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. In recent times, CMC and its derivatives have been developed as smart bioinks for 3D bioprinting applications. From these perspectives, the applications of CMC in tissue engineering and current knowledge on peculiar features of CMC in 3D and 4D bioprinting applications are elaborated in detail. Lastly, future perspectives of CMC for wider applications in tissue engineering and 3D/4D bioprinting are highlighted.

Abstract
Air pollution is a universal concern. The suspended solid/liquid particles in the air and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are ubiquitous. Synthetic polymer-based air filter media not only has disposal issues but also is a source of air and water pollution at the end of their life cycle. It has been a challenge to filter both particulate matter and VOC pollutants by a common biodegradable filter media having low air resistance. This study reports gelatin/β-cyclodextrin composite nanofiber mats with dual function air filtration ability at reduced air resistance (148 Pa) and low basis weight (1 g/m²). Gelatin/β-cyclodextrin nanofibers captured aerosols (0.3-5 μm) with < 95% filtration efficiency at 0.029/Pa quality factor. They adsorbed great amount of xylene (287 mg/g), benzene (242 mg/g), and formaldehyde (0.75 mg/g) VOCs. VOC adsorption of gelatin/β-cyclodextrin nanofibers is found several times higher than a commercial face mask and pristine powder samples. This study provides a solution for a 'green' dual function respiratory air filtration at low resistance. Gelatin/β-cyclodextrin nanofibers also have the potential to filter nano-sized viruses.

Abstract
Cartilage is a connective tissue, which is made up of ~80% of water. It is alymphatic, aneural and avascular with only one type of cells present, chondrocytes. They constitute about 1-5% of the entire cartilage tissue. It has a very limited capacity for spontaneous repair. Articular cartilage defects are quite common due to trauma, injury or aging and these defects eventually lead to osteoarthritis, affecting the daily activities. Tissue engineering (TE) is a promising strategy for the regeneration of articular cartilage when compared to the existing invasive treatment strategies. Cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer and has desirable properties for the development of a scaffold, which can be used for the regeneration of cartilage. This review discusses about (i) the basic science behind cartilage TE and the study of cellulose properties that can be exploited for the construction of the engineered scaffold with desired properties for cartilage tissue regeneration, (ii) about the requirement of scaffolds properties, fabrication mechanisms and assessment of cellulose based scaffolds, (iii) details about the modification of cellulose surface by employing various chemical approaches for the production of cellulose derivatives with enhanced characteristics and (iv) limitations and future research prospects of cartilage TE.

Abstract
Herein, oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKG) with different molecular weight (Mw) were prepared as polysaccharide crosslinker to reinforce gelatin-based hydrogels. Then, properties of composite hydrogels with various OKGs were investigated via a series of methods, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), rheology, mechanical and biocompatibility tests. The results confirmed an increased degree of crosslinking and entanglement between gelatin and OKG with higher Mw. Besides, composite hydrogels not only showed increased mechanical strength, but self-healing ability at the same time, which were closely affected by the Mw of OKG. Furthermore, both composite hydrogels could support well proliferation of cells, which showed excellent capacity in tissue engineering and biomedical applications. In brief, this work provides a facile method to promote the overall properties of gelatin-based hydrogels, meanwhile revealed the relationship and mechanism underlying the effects of OKG with different Mw on composite hydrogels.

Abstract
Aminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm-NH2) was grafted onto oxidized galactomannan polysaccharide extracted from Delonix regia (OXGM) via Schiff base reaction by a simple, rapid synthetic route, deprived of the use of organic solvents. Grafting was confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR and the self-organizing ability of the obtained nanoparticle copolymers was investigated by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The minimum concentration required for self-organization (CAC) at 25 °C was higher than at 50 °C. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) was in the range 34-40 °C, depending on both inserted PNIPAm-NH2 molar mass and on the presence of reduced imine bond. Synthesized copolymers are promising candidates for drug delivery as they show good cell viability, particle size around 250 nm and transition temperature closer to that of human body. Reaction success points out to the possibility of use free aldehyde groups of oxidized polysaccharide, not used in the copolymerization, to form a pro-drug with substances that possess NH2 groups in their structure, such as doxorubicin.

Abstract
Breast Cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among women and the second cause of female death for cancer. When the tumor is not correctly eradicated, there is a high relapse risk and incidence of metastasis. Breast Cancer Stem Cells (BCSCs) are responsible for initiating tumors and are resistant to current anticancer therapies being in part responsible for tumor relapse and metastasis. The study of BCSCs is limited due to their low percentage within both tumors and established cell models. Hence, three-dimensional (3D) supports are presented as an interesting tool to keep the stem-like features in 3D cell culture. In this review, several 3D culture systems are discussed. Moreover, scaffolds are presented as a tool to enrich in BCSCs in order to find new specific therapeutic strategies against this malignant subpopulation. Anticancer treatments focused on BCSCs could be useful for BC patients, with particular interest in those that progress to current therapies.

Abstract
Biomedical research in health innovation and product development encompasses convergent technologies that primarily integrate biomaterials science and engineering at its core. Particularly, research in this area is instrumental for the implementation of biomedical devices (BMDs) that offer innovative solutions to help maintain and improve quality of life of patients worldwide. Despite achieving extraordinary success, implantable BMDs are still confronted with complex engineering and biological challenges that need to addressed for augmenting device performance and prolonging lifetime in vivo. Biofabrication of tissue constructs, designing novel biomaterials and employing rational biomaterial design approaches, surface engineering of implants, point of care diagnostics and micro/nano-based biosensors, smart drug delivery systems, and noninvasive imaging methodologies are among strategies exploited for improving clinical performance of implantable BMDs. In India, advances in biomedical technologies have dramatically advanced health care over the last few decades and the country is well-positioned to identify opportunities and translate emerging solutions. In this article, we attempt to capture the recent advances in biomedical research and development progressing across the country and highlight the significant research work accomplished in the areas of biomaterials science and engineering.

Abstract
Electrospinning and electrospraying technologies provide an accessible and universal synthesis method for the continuous preparation of nanostructured materials. This chapter introduces recent uses of electrospun and electrosprayed scaffolds for tissue regeneration applications. More recent in vitro and in vivo of electrospun fibers are also discussed in relation to soft and hard tissue engineering applications. The focus is made on the bone, vascular, skin, neural and soft tissue regeneration. An introduction is presented regarding the production of biomaterials made by synthetic and natural polymers and inorganic and metallic materials for use in the production of scaffolds for regenerative medicine. For this proposal, the following techniques are discussed: electrospraying, co-axial and emulsion electrospinning and bio-electrospraying. Tissue engineering is an exciting and rapidly developing field for the understanding of how to regenerate the human body.
