Abstract
The essential functions of cartilage, such as shock absorption and resilience, are hindered by its limited regenerative capacity. Although current therapies alleviate symptoms, novel strategies for cartilage regeneration are desperately needed. Recent developments in three-dimensional (3D) constructs aim to address this challenge by mimicking the intrinsic characteristics of native cartilage using biocompatible materials, with a significant emphasis on both functionality and stability. Through fabrication methods such as 3D printing and electrospinning, researchers are making progress in cartilage regeneration; nevertheless, it is still very difficult to translate these advances into clinical practice. The review emphasizes the importance of integrating various fabrication techniques to create stable 3D constructs. Meticulous design and material selection are required to achieve seamless cartilage integration and durability. The review outlines the need to address these challenges and focuses on the latest developments in the production of hybrid 3D constructs based on biodegradable and biocompatible polymers. Furthermore, the review acknowledges the limitations of current research and provides perspectives on potential avenues for effectively regenerating cartilage defects in the future.

Abstract
In this study, composite films and scaffolds of polyester poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and polysaccharide chitosan obtained via a simple and reproducible blending method using acetic acid as a solvent were considered. The degradation process of the films was studied gravimetrically in a model biological medium in the presence of enzymes in vitro for 180 days. The kinetics of weight reduction depended on the amount of chitosan in the composition. The biocompatibility of the films was evaluated using the Alamar blue test and fluorescence microscopy. The materials were non-cytotoxic, and the addition of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) to chitosan improved its matrix properties on mesenchymal stem cells. Then, the 3D composites were prepared by freeze-drying. Their structure (using SEM), rheological behavior, moisture absorption, and porosity were investigated. The addition of different amounts of chitosan allowed us to vary the chemical and biological properties of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) materials and their degradation rate, which is extremely important in the development of biomedical poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) materials, especially implantable ones.

Abstract
The electrospinning technology has set off a tide and given rise to the attention of a widespread range of research territories, benefiting from the enhancement of nanofibers which made a spurt of progress. Nanofibers, continuously produced via electrospinning technology, have greater specific surface area and higher porosity and play a non-substitutable key role in many fields. Combined with the degradability and compatibility of the natural structure characteristics of polysaccharides, electrospun polysaccharide nanofiber membranes gradually infiltrate into the life field to help filter air contamination particles and water pollutants, treat wounds, keep food fresh, monitor electronic equipment, etc., thus improving the life quality. Compared with the evaluation of polysaccharide-based nanofiber membranes in a specific field, this paper comprehensively summarized the existing electrospinning technology and focused on the latest research progress about the application of polysaccharide-based nanofiber in different fields, represented by starch, chitosan, and cellulose. Finally, the benefits and defects of electrospun are discussed in brief, and the prospects for broadening the application of polysaccharide nanofiber membranes are presented for the glorious expectation dedicated to the progress of the eras.

Augmentin loaded functionalized halloysite nanotubes: A sustainable emerging nanocarriers for biomedical applications. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 242:117811. [PMID: 38043896 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.117811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/04/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Clay minerals such as Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs), abundantly available green nanomaterial, exhibit a significant advantage in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, antibacterial and antimicrobials, tissue engineering or regeneration, etc. Because of the mesoporous structure and high absorbability, HNTs exhibit great potential as a nanocarrier in drug delivery applications. The sulfuric acid treatment enhances the surface area of the HNTs and thereby improves their drug-loading capacity by enlarging their lumen space/inner diameter. In the present investigation, based on the literature that supports the efficacy of drug loading after acid treatment, a dual treatment was performed to functionalize the HNTs surface. First, the HNTs were etched and functionalized using sulfuric acid. The acid-functionalized HNTs underwent another treatment using (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) to better interact the drug molecules with the HNTs surfaces for efficient drug loading. Augmentin, a potential drug molecule of the penicillin group, was used for HNTs loading, and their antibacterial properties, cytotoxicity, and cumulative drug release (%) were evaluated. Different characterization techniques, such as X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FT-IR), confirm the loading of Augmentin to the APTES@Acid HNTs. TEM images confirm the effective loading of the drug molecule with the HNTs. The drug encapsulation efficiency shows 40.89%, as confirmed by the Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Also, the Augmentin-loaded APTES@Acid HNTs exhibited good antibacterial properties against E. coli and S. aureus and low cytotoxicity, as confirmed by the MTT assay. The drug release studies confirmed the sustainable release of Augmentin from the APTES@Acid HNTs. Hence, the treated HNTs can be considered as a potential nanocarrier for effectively delivering Augmentin and promoting enhanced therapeutic benefits.

Evaluation of the effects of chitosan nanoparticles on polyhydroxy butyrate electrospun scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 249:126064.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized and incorporated chitosan nanoparticles (Cs) into polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB) electrospun scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. The Cs nanoparticles were synthesized via an ionic gel interaction between Cs powder and tripolyphosphate (TPP). The mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, and fiber diameter of the PHB scaffolds with varying concentrations of Cs nanoparticles (1-5 wt%) were evaluated. The results of these evaluations showed that the scaffold containing 1 wt% Cs nanoparticles (P1Cs) was the optimum scaffold, with increased ultimate strength from 2.6 to 5.2 MPa and elongation at break from 5.31 % to 12.6 %. Crystallinity, degradation, and cell compatibility were also evaluated. The addition of Cs nanoparticles decreased crystallinity and accelerated hydrolytic degradation. MTT assay results showed that the proliferation of chondrocytes on the scaffold containing 1 wt% Cs nanoparticles were significantly higher than that on pure PHB after 7 days of cultivation. These findings suggest that the electrospun P1Cs scaffold has promising potential as a substrate for cartilage tissue engineering applications. This combination offers a promising approach for the fabrication of biomimetic scaffolds with enhanced mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, and cell compatibility for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Background and purpose Biomaterials, scaffold manufacturing, and design strategies with acceptable mechanical properties are the most critical challenges facing tissue engineering. Experimental approach In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated through a novel three-dimensional (3D) printing method. The PCL scaffolds were then coated with 2% agarose (Ag) hydrogel. The 3D-printed PCL and PCL/Ag scaffolds were characterized for their mechanical properties, porosity, hydrophilicity, and water absorption. The construction and morphology of the printed scaffolds were evaluated via Fourier-Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The attachment and proliferation of L929 cells cultured on the scaffolds were investigated through MTT assay on the cell culture study upon the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days. Findings/Results The incorporation of Ag hydrogel with PCL insignificantly decreased the mechanical strength of the scaffold. The presence of Ag enhanced the hydrophilicity and water absorption of the scaffolds, which could positively influence their cell behavior compared to the PCL scaffolds. Regarding cell morphology, the cells on the PCL scaffolds had a more rounded shape and less cell spreading, representing poor cell attachment and cell-scaffold interaction due to the hydrophobic nature of PCL. Conversely, the cells on the PCL/Ag scaffolds were elongated with a spindle-shaped morphology indicating a positive cell-scaffold interaction. Conclusion and implications PCL/Ag scaffolds can be considered appropriate for tissue-engineering applications.

Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and chitosan are among the most widely used polymers for biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, renewability and low toxicity. The creation of composite materials based on biopolymers belonging to different classes makes it possible to overcome the disadvantages of each of the components and to obtain a material with specific properties. Solving this problem is associated with difficulties in the selection of conditions and solvents for obtaining the composite material. In our study, acetic acid was used as a common solvent for hydrophobic poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and chitosan. Mechanical, thermal, physicochemical and surface properties of the composites and homopolymers were investigated. The composite films had less crystallinity and hydrophobicity than poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), and the addition of chitosan caused an increase in moisture absorption, a decrease in contact angle and changes in mechanical properties of the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). The inclusion of varying amounts of chitosan controlled the properties of the composite, which will be important in the future for its specific biomedical applications.

Abstract
Endowing wound dressings with drug delivery capability is a suitable strategy to transfer medicinal compounds locally to damaged skin layers. These dressings are especially useful for accelerating the healing rate in the cases of long-term treatment, and adding more functionalities to the platform. In this study, a wound dressing composed of polyamide 6, hyaluronic acid, and curcumin-loaded halloysite nanotubes (PA6/HA/HNT@Cur) was designed and fabricated for wound healing applications. The physicochemical properties of this platform were investigated through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and field-emission scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, wettability, tensile strength, swelling, and in vitro degradation were assessed. The HNT@Cur was incorporated in the fibers in three concentrations and 1 wt% was found as the optimum concentration yielding desirable structural and mechanical properties. The loading efficiency of Cur on HNT was calculated to be 43 ± 1.8%, and the release profiles and kinetics of nanocomposite were investigated at physiological and acidic pH. In vitro antibacterial and antioxidation studies showed that the PA6/HA/HNT@Cur mat had strong antibacterial and antioxidation activities against gram-positive and -negative pathogens and reactive oxygen species, respectively. Desirable cell compatibility of the mat was found through MTT assay against L292 cells up to 72 h. Finally, the efficacy of the designed wound dressing was evaluated in vivo; after 14 days, the results indicated that the wound size treated with the nanocomposite mat significantly decreased compared to the control sample. This study proposed a swift and straightforward method for developing materials that might be utilized as wound dressings in clinical settings.

Abstract
Food polysaccharides are well acclaimed in the field of delivery systems due to their natural safety, biocompatibility with the human body, and capability of incorporating/releasing various bioactive compounds. Electrospinning, a straightforward atomization technique that has been attracting researchers worldwide, is also versatile for coupling food polysaccharides and bioactive compounds. In this review, several popular food polysaccharides including starch, cyclodextrin, chitosan, alginate, and hyaluronic acid are selected to discuss their basic characteristics, electrospinning conditions, bioactive compound release characteristics, and more. Data revealed that the selected polysaccharides are capable of releasing bioactive compounds from as rapidly as 5 s to as prolonged as 15 days. In addition, a series of frequently studied physical/chemical/biomedical applications utilizing electrospun food polysaccharides with bioactive compounds are also selected and discussed. These promising applications include but are not limited to active packaging with 4-log reduction against E. coli, L. innocua, and S. aureus; removal of 95% of particulate matter (PM) 2.5 and volatile organic compounds (VOCs); heavy metal ion removal; increasing enzyme heat/pH stability; wound healing acceleration and enhanced blood coagulation, etc. The broad potentials of electrospun food polysaccharides loaded with bioactive compounds are demonstrated in this review.

Evaluation of the effects of halloysite nanotube on polyhydroxybutyrate - chitosan electrospun scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 233:123651.

Abstract
Scaffolding method and material that mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) of host tissue is an integral part of cartilage tissue engineering. This study aims to enhance the properties of electrospun scaffolds made of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) - Chitosan (Cs) by adding 1, 3, and 5 wt% halloysite nanotubes (HNT). The morphological, mechanical, and hydrophilicity evaluations expressed that the scaffold containing 3 wt% HNT exhibits the most appropriate features. The FTIR and Raman analysis confirmed hydrogen bond formation between the HNT and PHB-Cs blend. 3 wt% of HNT incorporation decreased the mean fibers' diameter from 965.189 to 745.16 nm and enhanced tensile strength by 169.4 %. By the addition of 3 wt% HNT, surface contact angle decreased from 61.45° ± 3.3 to 46.65 ± 1.8° and surface roughness increased from 684.69 to 747.62 nm. Our findings indicated that biodegradation had been slowed by incorporating HNT into the PHB-Cs matrix. Also, MTT test results demonstrated a significant increase in cell viability of chondrocytes on the PHB-Cs/3 wt% HNT (PC-3H) scaffold after 7 days of cell culture. Accordingly, the PC-3H scaffold can be considered a potential candidate for cartilage tissue engineering.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 226:1079-1087.

Abstract
Bone defects cause serious psychological and economic burden to patients. Artificially bone repairing materials bring hope to the treatment of bone defects. Electrospun technique has attracted great attention since it can fabricate fibers from nano- to micro- scale continuously. Scaffolds fabricated by electrospun can mimic the structure of extracellular matrix which is beneficial to cell adhesion and migration. Researches have showed that bioactive ions (such as silicon and calcium ions) can promote bone regeneration. In addition, physical cues can affect cellular behavior such as cell adhesion and differentiation. In this study, two kinds of calcium silicate - adopted poly (L-lactic acid) (CS-PLLA) electrospun scaffolds with random/aligned structures were prepared by electrospun to promote bone regeneration. The integration of CS nanowires improved the biological property of PLLA electrospun scaffolds. Furthermore, in vitro results indicated that aligned 1 wt% CS adopted PLLA (PCA1) electrospun scaffolds with better physical properties and facilitated cell adhesion, improved alkaline phosphate (ALP) activity and the expression of osteogenic genes (Osteopontin (OPN), Collagen type 1 (Col-1) and Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)) compared with random 1 wt% CS adopted PLLA (PCR1) electrospun scaffolds. In conclusion, the prepared PCA1 electrospun scaffolds might be a potential candidate for bone regeneration in defect areas.

Effect of cellulose nanofibers on polyhydroxybutyrate electrospun scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 220:1402-1414. [PMID: 36116594 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 09/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
The choice of materials and preparation methods are the most important factors affecting the final characteristics of the scaffolds. In this study, cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as a nano-additive reinforcer were selected to prepare a polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) based nanocomposite mat. The PHB/CNF (PC) scaffold properties, created via the electrospinning method, were investigated and compared with pure PHB. The obtained results, in addition to a slight increment of crystallinity (from ≃46 to 53 %), showed better water contact angle (from ≃120 to 96°), appropriate degradation rate (up to ≃25 % weight loss in two months), prominent biomineralization (Ca/P ratio about 1.50), and ≃89 % increment in toughness factor of PC compare to the neat PHB. Moreover, the surface roughness as an affecting parameter on cell behavior was also increased up to ≃43 % in the presence of CNFs. Eventually, not only the MTT assay revealed better human osteoblast MG63 cell viability on PC samples, but also DAPI staining and SEM results confirmed the more plausible cell spreading in the presence of cellulose nano-additive. These improvements, along with the appropriate results of ALP and Alizarin red, authenticate that the newly PC nanocomposite composition has the required efficiency in the field of bone tissue engineering.

Fabrication and characterization of novel polyhydroxybutyrate-keratin/nanohydroxyapatite electrospun fibers for bone tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 220:1368-1389. [PMID: 36116596 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.117] [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: 08/10/2022] [Revised: 09/11/2022] [Accepted: 09/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
The role of scaffolds in bone regeneration is of great importance. Here, the electrospun scaffolds of poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)-keratin (PHB-K)/nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) with different morphologies (long nanorods (HAR) and very short nanorods (HAP)) and weight percentages (up to 10 w/w%) of nHA were fabricated and characterized. The fibers integrity, the porosity of above 80%, and increase in pore size up to 16 μm were observed by adding nHA. The nanofibers crystallinity increased by 13.5 and 22.8% after the addition of HAR and HAP, respectively. The scaffolds contact angle decreased by almost 20° and 40° after adding 2.5 w/w% HAR and HAP, respectively. The tensile strength of the scaffolds increased from 2.99 ± 0.3 MPa for PHB-K to 6.44 ± 0.16 and 9.27 ± 0.04 MPa for the scaffolds containing 2.5 w/w% HAR and HAP, respectively. After immersing the scaffolds into simulated body fluid (SBF), the Ca concentration decreased by 55% for HAR- and 73% for HAP-containing scaffolds, showing the bioactivity of nHA-containing scaffolds. The results of cell attachment, proliferation, and viability of MG-63 cells cultured on the nanocomposites showed the positive effects of nHA. The results indicate that the nanocomposite scaffolds, especially HAP-containing ones, can be suitable for bone tissue engineering applications.
