Abstract
Biomaterials that are mediocre for cell adhesion have been a concern for medical purposes. In this study, we fabricated nano‑gold chitosan-bacterial cellulose (CBC-Au) via a facile in-situ method using spent ground coffee (SGC) in a kombucha consortium. The eco-benign synthesis of monodispersed gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in modified bacterial cellulose (BC) was successfully achieved in the presence of chitosan (CHI) and a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY). The dominant microbiome community in SGC kombucha were Lactobacillaceae and Saccharomycetes. Chitosan-bacterial cellulose (CBC) and CBC-Au affected the microfibril networks in the nano cellulose structures and decreased the porosity. The modified BC maintained its crystallinity up to 80 % after incorporating CHI and Au NPs. Depth profiling using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicated that the Au NPs were distributed in the deeper layers of the scaffolds and a limited amount on the surface of the scaffold. Aspergillus niger fungal strains validated the biodegradability of each scaffold as a decomposer. Bacteriostatically CBC-Au showed better antimicrobial activity than BC, in line with the adhesion of NIH-3T3 fibroblast cells and red blood cells (RBCs), which displayed good biocompatibility performance, indicating its potential use as a medical scaffold.

Dey K, Sandrini E, Gobetti A, Ramorino G, Lopomo NF, Tonello S, Sardini E, Sartore L. Designing Biomimetic Conductive Gelatin-Chitosan-Carbon Black Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering. Biomimetics (Basel) 2023; 8:473. [PMID: 37887604 PMCID: PMC10604854 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8060473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/26/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Conductive nanocomposites play a significant role in tissue engineering by providing a platform to support cell growth, tissue regeneration, and electrical stimulation. In the present study, a set of electroconductive nanocomposite hydrogels based on gelatin (G), chitosan (CH), and conductive carbon black (CB) was synthesized with the aim of developing novel biomaterials for tissue regeneration application. The incorporation of conductive carbon black (10, 15 and 20 wt.%) significantly improved electrical conductivity and enhanced mechanical properties with the increased CB content. We employed an oversimplified unidirectional freezing technique to impart anisotropic morphology with interconnected porous architecture. An investigation into whether any anisotropic morphology affects the mechanical properties of hydrogel was conducted by performing compression and cyclic compression tests in each direction parallel and perpendicular to macroporous channels. Interestingly, the nanocomposite with 10% CB produced both anisotropic morphology and mechanical properties, whereas anisotropic pore morphology diminished at higher CB concentrations (15 and 20%), imparting a denser texture. Collectively, the nanocomposite hydrogels showed great structural stability as well as good mechanical stability and reversibility. Under repeated compressive cyclic at 50% deformation, the nanocomposite hydrogels showed preconditioning, characteristic hysteresis, nonlinear elasticity, and toughness. Overall, the collective mechanical behavior resembled the mechanics of soft tissues. The electrical impedance associated with the hydrogels was studied in terms of the magnitude and phase angle in dry and wet conditions. The electrical properties of the nanocomposite hydrogels conducted in wet conditions, which is more physiologically relevant, showed a decreasing magnitude with increased CB concentrations, with a resistive-like behavior in the range 1 kHz-1 MHz and a capacitive-like behavior for frequencies <1 kHz and >1 MHz. Overall, the impedance of the nanocomposite hydrogels decreased with increased CB concentrations. Together, these nanocomposite hydrogels are compositionally, morphologically, mechanically, and electrically similar to native ECMs of many tissues. These gelatin-chitosan-carbon black nanocomposite hydrogels show great promise for use as conducting substrates for the growth of electro-responsive cells in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Despite the advances in the regeneration/rehabilitation field of damaged tissues, the functional recovery of peripheral nerves (PNs), especially in a long gap injury, is considered a great medical challenge. Recent progress in nanomedicine has provided great hope for PN regeneration through the strategy of controlling cell behavior by metal nanoparticles individually or loaded on scaffolds/conduits. Despite the confirmed toxicity of metal nanoparticles due to long-term accumulation in nontarget tissues, they play a role in the damaged PN regeneration based on the topography modification of scaffolds/conduits, enhancing neurotrophic factor secretion, the ion flow improvement, and the regulation of electrical signals. Determining the fate of neural progenitor cells would be a major achievement in PN regeneration, which seems to be achievable by metal nanoparticles through altering cell vital approaches and controlling their functions. Therefore, in this literature, an attempt was made to provide an overview of the effective activities of metal nanoparticles on the PN regeneration, until the vital clues of the PN regeneration and how they are changed by metal nanoparticles are revealed to the researcher.

Abstract
In the biomedical sciences, particularly in wound healing, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine, the development of natural-based biomaterials as a carrier has revealed a wide range of advantages. Tissue engineering is one of the therapeutic approaches used to replace damaged tissue. Polymers have received a lot of attention for their beneficial interactions with cells, but they have some drawbacks, such as poor mechanical properties. Due to their relatively large surface area, nanoparticles can cause significant changes in polymers and improve their mechanical properties. The nanoparticles incorporated into biomaterial scaffolds have been associated with positive effects on cell adhesion, viability, proliferation, and migration in the majority of studies. This review paper discusses recent applications of polymer-nanoparticle composites in the development of tissue engineering scaffolds, as well as the effects of these nanomaterials in the fields of cardiovascular, neural, bone, and skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
The three-dimensional printing (3DP) also known as the additive manufacturing (AM), a novel and futuristic technology that facilitates the printing of multiscale, biomimetic, intricate cytoarchitecture, function-structure hierarchy, multi-cellular tissues in the complicated micro-environment, patient-specific scaffolds, and medical devices. There is an increasing demand for developing 3D-printed products that can be utilized for organ transplantations due to the organ shortage. Nowadays, the 3DP has gained considerable interest in the tissue engineering (TE) field. Polylactide (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) are exemplary biomaterials with excellent physicochemical properties and biocompatibility, which have drawn notable attraction in tissue regeneration. Herein, the recent advancements in the PLA and PCL biodegradable polymer-based composites as well as their reinforcement with hydrogels and bio-ceramics scaffolds manufactured through 3DP are systematically summarized and the applications of bone, cardiac, neural, vascularized and skin tissue regeneration are thoroughly elucidated. The interaction between implanted biodegradable polymers, in-vivo and in-vitro testing models for possible evaluation of degradation and biological properties are also illustrated. The final section of this review incorporates the current challenges and future opportunities in the 3DP of PCL- and PLA-based composites that will prove helpful for biomedical engineers to fulfill the demands of the clinical field.

Abstract
Significant upsurge in animal by-products such as skin, bones, wool, hides, feathers, and fats has become a global challenge and, if not properly disposed of, can spread contamination and viral diseases. Animal by-products are rich in proteins, which can be used as nutritional, pharmacologically functional ingredients, and biomedical materials. Therefore, recycling these abundant and renewable by-products and extracting high value-added components from them is a sustainable approach to reclaim animal by-products while addressing scarce landfill resources. This article appraises the most recent studies conducted in the last five years on animal-derived proteins' separation and biomedical application. The effort encompasses an introduction about the composition, an overview of the extraction and purification methods, and the broad range of biomedical applications of these ensuing proteins.

Abstract
In the present study, TiCN thin films were coated on AISI 304 and AISI 410 stainless steel (SS) substrates by Cathodic Arc Physical Vapor Deposition method. TiCN-coated substrates were confirmed by the XRD analysis results. Dense morphology and fine-grained surface of TiCN film were established by SEM images. Cellular toxicity of the coated 304 SS and 410 SS substrates was investigated in the fibroblasts and B-lymphocyte. In respect to that, we have shown coated substrates cytotoxicity, oxidative stress as well as cell viability, reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation (MDA), protein carbonyl, glutathione oxidase (GSSG), and glutathione reductase (GSH) assessment, releasing cytochrome c (Cytc), lysosomal membrane destabilization (AO) may lead to cell death signaling. Our results showed that the coated 304 SS and 410 SS substrates induced cells dysfunction via a significant increase in ROS production, MDA (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001), protein carbonyl (P < 0.05), and GSSG (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01) that correlated to cytochrome c release (P < 0.01). In addition, increased disturbance in oxidative phosphorylation was also shown by the decrease in cell viability (P < 0.001) and GSH (P < 0.01 and P < 0.001) in the coated 304 SS and 410 SS substrates-treated fibroblast and B-lymphocytes. The coated 304 SS and 410 SS substrates contacted cells and trafficked to the lysosomes and this is followed by lysosomal damage, leading to apoptosis/Necrosis. Our results indicated that these materials cause cellular dysfunction and subsequent oxidative stress leading to cognitive impairment in the rat fibroblasts and B-lymphocytes cells.

Abstract
Synthetic and natural polymers have recently received considerable attention due to the exclusive potential for supporting the regenerative cellular processes in peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs). Gold nanorods (GNRs) decorated polycaprolactone (PCL)/cellulose acetate (CA) nanocomposite (PCL/CA/GNR) were fabricated via electrospinning to improve PC12 cells attachment and growth or scaffold cues. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) corroborated the GNR distribution (23 ± 2 nm length and 3/1 Aspect ratio) and suitable average dimension of 800 nm for the fibers; also, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) represented block-free and smooth fibers without perturbation. Because of gold nanorods incorporation, electrical conductivity of PCL/CA/GNR increased ~21%. Water contact angle data emphasized PCL/CA/GNR surface is more wettable that PCL/CA (<90° at 62 s). Real-time PCR technique (RT-PCR) demonstrated overexpression of β-tubulin and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) on PCL/CA/GNR compared to PCL/CA composite. Additionally, evaluated of the maturation and neurogenic differentiation of PC12 cells emphasized overexpression of nestin and β-tubulin by Immunocytochemistry staining onto PCL/CA/GNR in comparison to PCL/CA composite. Notably, these recently developed hybrid scaffolds could be considered for peripheral nerve injury (PNI) regeneration.

Abstract
The individual approaches of regenerative medicine efforts alone and rehabilitation efforts alone have not yet fully restored function after severe spinal cord injury (SCI). Regenerative rehabilitation may be leveraged to promote regeneration of the spinal cord tissue, and promote reorganization of the regenerated neural pathways and intact spinal circuits for better functional recovery for SCI. Conductive biomaterials may be a linchpin that empowers the synergy between regenerative medicine and rehabilitation approaches, as electrical stimulation applied to the spinal cord could facilitate neural reorganization. In this review, we discuss current regenerative medicine approaches in clinical trials and the rehabilitation, or neuromodulation, approaches for SCI, along with their respective translational limitations. Furthermore, we review the translational potential, in a surgical context, of conductive biomaterials (e.g., conductive polymers, carbon-based materials, metallic nanoparticle-based materials) as they pertain to SCI. While pre-formed scaffolds may be difficult to translate to human contusion SCIs, injectable composites that contain blended conductive components and can form within the injury may be more translational. However, given that there are currently no in vivo SCI studies that evaluated conductive materials combined with rehabilitation approaches, we discuss several limitations of conductive biomaterials, including demonstrating safety and efficacy, that will need to be addressed in the future for conductive biomaterials to become SCI therapeutics. Even so, the use of conductive biomaterials creates a synergistic opportunity to merge the fields of regenerative medicine and rehabilitation and redefine what regenerative rehabilitation means for the spinal cord. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: For spinal cord injury (SCI), the individual approaches of regenerative medicine and rehabilitation are insufficient to fully restore functional recovery; however, the goal of regenerative rehabilitation is to combine these two disparate fields to maximize the functional outcomes. Concepts similar to regenerative rehabilitation for SCI have been discussed in several reviews, but for the first time, this review considers how conductive biomaterials may synergize the two approaches. We cover current regenerative medicine and rehabilitation approaches for SCI, and the translational advantages and disadvantages, in a surgical context, of conductive biomaterials used in biomedical applications that may be additionally applied to SCI. Furthermore, we identify the current limitations and translational challenges for conductive biomaterials before they may become therapeutics for SCI.

Abstract
The cytotoxicity of diamond nanoparticles (DNs) to various cell lines has been on focus by numerous scientists. The cellular toxicity system of DNs has not been fully understood or explained in skin cancer, at this point. This research was carried out to discover and reveal the potential impacts of DNs on the secluded brain, heart, liver, kidney, and skin in addition to evaluation of their cytotoxicity mechanism under test conditions. Their biological activities, for example cell viability, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation, cytochrome c release and Apoptosis/Necrosis were evaluated. Additionally, the bio-distribution of these nanomaterials in tissues was examined in the C57 mouse. Relying on the findings of the investigation, DNs were found to increase the ROS level, Malondialdehyde (MDA) content, release of cytochrome c, and cell death in skin significantly compared to other groups. In the C57 mouse, DNs were observed to have accumulated in skin tissue more intensively than they did in other organs. The present study presents for the proof that DNs can completely induce cell death signaling in skin cancer without bringing about a high cytotoxicity in other tissues. Results suggest that DNs can be valuable in recognition of skin cancer.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based cell therapy can provide opportunities for the treatment of various diseases. However, when used in vivo, these cells should be labelled and monitored by a non-invasive method during delivery to the desired locations within the body. This study describes a biomimicry method that effectively labels human Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (hWJ-MSCs) with a photoacoustics (PA) contrast agent, gold nanorods (GNRs), without the need for transfection agents (TAs). In this method for cell labelling, the hWJ-MSCs were co-incubated with non-adherent cells isolated from fresh umbilical cord for 2 days immediately before incubation with GNRs. Next, hWJ-MSCs were labelled with the GNRs at a concentration of approximately 1010 nanorads/mL (NR/mL) followed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) to verify their labelling effectiveness. The GNRs-labelled MSCs prepared by this method had an intracellular gold (Au) concentration of 3.4 ± 0.4 pg/cell, which is an acceptable amount for cell labelling.

Zuluaga-Vélez A, Quintero-Martinez A, Orozco LM, Sepúlveda-Arias JC. Silk fibroin nanocomposites as tissue engineering scaffolds - A systematic review. Biomed Pharmacother 2021; 141:111924. [PMID: 34328093 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.111924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/11/2021] [Revised: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 07/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Silk fibroin is a protein with intrinsic characteristics that make it a good candidate as a scaffold for tissue engineering. Recent works have enhanced its benefits by adding inorganic phases that interact with silk fibroin in different ways. A systematic review was performed in four databases to study the physicochemical and biological performance of silk fibroin nanocomposites. In the last decade, only 51 articles contained either in vitro cell culture models or in vivo tests. The analysis of such works resulted in their classification into the following scaffold types: particles, mats and textiles, films, hydrogels, sponge-like structures, and mixed conformations. From the physicochemical perspective, the inorganic phase imbued in silk fibroin nanocomposites resulted in better stability and mechanical performance. This review revealed that the inorganic phase may be associated with specific biological responses, such as neovascularisation, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. The study of nanocomposites as tissue engineering scaffolds is a highly active area mostly focused on bone and cartilage regeneration with promising results. Nonetheless, there are still many challenges related to their application in other tissues, a better understanding of the interaction between the inorganic and organic phases, and the associated biological response.

Abstract
Herein, a bilayer cylindrical conduit (P-CA) is presented consisting of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers and sodium alginate hydrogel covalently cross-linked with N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate (DSC). The bilayer P-CA conduit is developed by combining the electrospinning and outer-inner layer methods. Using DSC, as a covalent crosslinker, increases the degradation time of the sodium alginate hydrogel up to 2 months. The swelling ratio of the hydrogel is also 503% during the first 8 h. The DSC cross-linked sodium alginate in the inner layer of the conduit promotes the adhesion and proliferation of nerve cells, while the electrospun PCL nanofibers in the outer layer provide maximum tensile strength of the conduit during surgery. P-CA conduit promotes the migration of Schwann cells along the axon in a rat model based on functional and histological evidences. In conclusion, P-CA conduit will be a promising construct for repairing sciatic nerves in a rat model.

Abstract
Among the different synthetic polymers developed for biomedical applications, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) has attracted considerable attention because of its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Nanocomposites based on PLGA and metal-based nanostructures (MNSs) have been employed extensively as an efficient strategy to improve the structural and functional properties of PLGA polymer. The MNSs have been used to impart new properties to PLGA, such as antimicrobial properties and labeling. In the present review, the different strategies available for the fabrication of MNS/PLGA nanocomposites and their applications in the biomedical field will be discussed, beginning with a description of the preparation routes, antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxicity concerns of MNS/PLGA nanocomposites. The biomedical applications of these nanocomposites, such as carriers and scaffolds in tissue regeneration and other therapies are subsequently reviewed. In addition, the potential advantages of using MNS/PLGA nanocomposites in treatment illnesses are analyzed based on in vitro and in vivo studies, to support the potential of these nanocomposites in future research in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Engineered scaffolds simultaneously exhibiting multiple cues are highly desirable for neural tissue regeneration. Silk fibroin is a promising natural protein material for nerve repair. However, the lack of specific bioactive cues significantly hinders its application. In this study, the electrospun silk fibroin nanofibers with both biochemical and topographical cues were prepared. The alignment of electrospun nanofibers was optimized by controlling the surface linear velocity of a rotating drum. The silk fibroin nanofibers were further functionalized with laminin through covalent binding, confirmed by immunostaining observation. Cell proliferation and neurite outgrowth assays confirmed that the functionalized aligned nanofibers significantly enhanced directional axonal extensions, providing physical and bioactive cues for neurite outgrowth. Furthermore, the tubular scaffolds with longitudinally aligned microchannels were designed by rolling the functionalized silk fibroin nanofibers. The neurite extension across the lumen of the conduit along the direction of the aligned fibers is apparent. These results highlight the ability of laminin-immobilized silk fibroin nanofibers to enhance neurite outgrowth and to control directional neurite extension, providing a useful approach to construct a regenerative microenvironment for nerve repair materials.
