Abstract
Previously, chitosan reduces the senescence-related phenotypes in human foreskin fibroblasts through the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) pathway, and enhances the proliferation and migration capabilities of these cells are demonstrated. In this study, we examined whether the senescence-delaying effect of chitosan could be applied to primary knee-related fibroblasts, such as human synovial membrane derived cells (SCs) and anterior cruciate ligament fibroblasts (ACLs). These two types of cells were obtained from donors who needed ACL reconstruction or knee replacement. We found that chitosan treatment effectively reduced aging-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)-positive cells, downregulated the expression of senescence-related proteins pRB and p53, and enhanced the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation ability of SCs and ACLs. Moreover, chitosan could make SCs secret more glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and produce type I collagen. The ability of ACLs to close the wound was also enhanced, and the TGF-β and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) protein expression decreased after chitosan treatment. In summary, chitosan not only delayed the senescence but also enhanced the functions of SCs and ACLs, which is beneficial to the application of chitosan in cell expansion in vitro and cell therapy.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1385001.

Abstract
Introduction Antibiotic resistance and weak bioavailability of antibiotics in the skin due to systemic administration leads to failure in eradication of vancomycin- and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA and MRSA)-associated wound infections and subsequent septicemia and even death. Accordingly, this study aimed at designing a photocrosslinkable methacrylated chitosan (MECs) hydrogel coated by melittin-derived peptide 1 (MDP1) that integrated the antibacterial activity with the promising skin regenerative capacity of the hydrogel to eradicate bacteria by burst release strategy. Methods The MECs was coated with MDP1 (MECs-MDP1), characterized, and the hydrogel-peptide interaction was evaluated by molecular docking. Antibacterial activities of MECs-MDP1 were evaluated against VRSA and MRSA bacteria and compared to MECs-vancomycin (MECs-vanco). Antibiofilm activity of MECs-MDP1 was studied by our novel 'in situ biofilm inhibition zone (IBIZ)' assay, and SEM. Biocompatibility with human dermal fibroblast cells (HDFs) was also evaluated. Results and Discussion Molecular docking showed hydrogen bonds as the most interactions between MDP1 and MECs at a reasonable affinity. MECs-MDP1 eradicated the bacteria rapidly by burst release strategy whereas MECs-vanco failed to eradicate them at the same time intervals. Antibiofilm activity of MECs-MDP1 were also proved successfully. As a novel report, molecular docking analysis has demonstrated that MDP1 covers the structure of MECs and also binds to lysozyme with a reasonable affinity, which may explain the inhibition of lysozyme. MECs-MDP1 was also biocompatible with human dermal fibroblast skin cells, which indicates its safe future application. The antibacterial properties of a photocrosslinkable methacrylated chitosan-based hydrogel coated with MDP1 antimicrobial peptide were successfully proved against the most challenging antibiotic-resistant bacteria causing nosocomial wound infections; VRSA and MRSA. Molecular docking analysis revealed that MDP1 interacts with MECs mainly through hydrogen bonds with reasonable binding affinity. MECs-MDP1 hydrogels eradicated the planktonic state of bacteria by burst release of MDP1 in just a few hours whereas MECs-vanco failed to eradicate them. inhibition zone assay showed the anti-biofilm activity of the MECs-MDP1 hydrogel too. These findings emphasize that MECs-MDP1 hydrogel would be suggested as a biocompatible wound-dressing candidate with considerable and rapid antibacterial activities to prevent/eradicate VRSA/MRSA bacterial wound infections.

Abstract
This prospective study aimed to assess the feasibility of chitosan biomaterial and subcutaneous gel implantation in an ovine model, with implications for women with genital prolapse. Twenty-four ewes were divided into four groups (n = 6 per group): chitosan type B, chitosan type C, chitosan unmodified injections, and polypropylene mesh. Ovine models were chosen due to their morphological resemblance to human reproductive organs. Animals were sacrificed after 90 days for macroscopic, pathomorphological, and immunohistochemical analysis. In the chitosan type B group, IL-6 and IL-10 levels decreased after 28 days, while chitosan type C and injection groups exhibited higher IL-6 than IL-10 levels. The polypropylene group displayed the highest IL-6 and lowest IL-10 levels. Histological examination of the polypropylene group revealed no degenerative changes or inflammation, whereas chitosan injection induced local inflammation. Other groups exhibited no degenerative changes. Ewes implanted with chitosan displayed reduced inflammation compared to polypropylene-implanted ewes. Chitosan implantation facilitated vaginal tissue healing, in contrast to polypropylene mesh, which led to extrusion. While chitosan holds promise as an alternative to polypropylene mesh, further research is imperative for comprehensive evaluation. This study suggests the potential of a chitosan biomaterial in pelvic organ prolapse treatment, warranting additional investigation.

Abstract
Innovative measures of nitrogen (N) fertilization to increase season-long N availability is essential for gaining the optimal foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.) productivity and N use efficiency. A split plot field experiment was conducted using the foxtail millet variety Huayougu 9 in 2020 and 2021 in Northeast China to clarify the physiological mechanism of a novel polyaspartic acid-chitosan (PAC)-coated urea on N assimilation and utilization from foxtail millet. Conventional N fertilizer (CN) and the urea-coated -PAC treatments were tested under six nitrogen fertilizer application levels of 0, 75, 112.5, 150, 225, and 337.5 kg N ha-1. The results showed that compared to CN, PN increased the foxtail millet yield by 5.53-15.75% and 10.43-16.17% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. PN increased the leaf area index and dry matter accumulation by 7.81-18.15% and 12.91-41.92%, respectively. PN also enhanced the activities of nitrate reductase, glutamine synthetase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, thereby increasing the soluble protein in the leaf, plant, and grain N content at harvest compared to CN. Consequently, partial factor productivity from applied N, the agronomic efficiency of applied N, recovery efficiency of applied N, and physiological efficiency of applied N of foxtail millet under PN treatments compared to CN were increased. The improvement effect of the items above was more noticeable under the low-middle N application levels (75, 112.5, and 150 kg N ha-1). In conclusion, the PAC could achieve the goal of high yield and high N use efficiency in foxtail millet under the background of a one-time basic fertilizer application.

Abstract
Chitosan, a cost-effective and eco-friendly natural polymeric material, possesses excellent film-forming properties. However, it has low solubility and biological activity, which hinders its widespread applications. To overcome these limitations, researchers have developed phenolic acid-chitosan derivatives that greatly enhance the mechanical, antibacterial and antioxidant properties of chitosan, expanding its potential application, particularly in food preservation. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the structure and biological activity of chitosan and phenolic acid, as well as various synthetic techniques employed in their modification. Phenolic acid-chitosan derivatives exhibit improved physicochemical properties, such as enhanced water solubility, thermal stability, rheological properties, and crystallinity, through grafting techniques. Moreover, these derivatives demonstrate significantly enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant activities. Through graft modification, phenolic acid-chitosan derivatives offer promising applications in food preservation for diverse food products, including fruits, vegetables, meat, and aquatic products. Their ability to improve the preservation and quality of these food items makes them an appealing option for the food industry. This review intends to provide a deeper understanding of phenolic acid-chitosan derivatives by delving into their synthetic technology, characterization, and application in the realm of food preservation.

Abstract
Designing biocompatible polymers using plant derivatives can be extremely useful in tissue engineering, nanomedicine, and many other fields of medicine. In this study, it was first looked into how chitosan/alginate scaffolds were made and characterized in the presence of berberine and barberry fruit extract. Second, the process of proliferation and differentiation of ovine fetal BM-MSCs (bone marrow-mesenchymal stem cells) was assessed on these scaffolds after BM-MSCs were extracted and confirmed by developing into osteocyte and adipose cells. To investigate the differentiation, treatment groups include (1) ovine fetal BM-MSCs were plated in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium culture medium with high glucose containing 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics (negative control), (2) ovine fetal BM-MSCs were plated in osteogenic differentiation medium (positive control group), (3) positive control group + barberry fruit extract, (4) positive control group + berberine, (5) ovine fetal BM-MSCs were plated in osteogenic differentiation medium on chitosan/alginate scaffold (hydrogel group), (6) ovine fetal BM-MSCs were plated in osteogenic differentiation medium on chitosan/alginate/barberry fruit extract scaffold (hydrogel group containing barberry fruit extract), and (7) ovine fetal BM-MSCs were plated in osteogenic differentiation medium on chitosan/alginate/berberine scaffold (hydrogel group containing berberine). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme concentrations, mineralization rate using a calcium kit, and mineralization measurement by alizarin staining quantification were all found after 21 days of culture. In addition, real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction was used to assess the expression of the ALP, COL1A2, and Runx2 genes. Days 5 and 7 had the lowest water absorption by the hydrogel scaffold containing barberry extract, which was significant in comparison to other groups (p < .05). Among the hydrogel scaffolds under study, the one containing barberry extract exhibited the lowest tensile strength, and this difference was statistically significant (p < .05). The chitosan/alginate hydrogel has the highest tensile strength of all of them. In comparison to the control and other treatment groups, the inclusion of berberine in the chitosan/alginate hydrogel significantly increased the expression of the ALP, Runx2, and COL1A2 genes (p < .05). The osteocyte differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells in in vitro settings appears to have been enhanced by the inclusion of berberine in the chitosan/alginate scaffold.

Abstract
The attention to polymer-based biomaterials, for instance, chitosan and its derivatives, as well as the techniques for using them in numerous scientific domains, is continuously rising. Chitosan is a decomposable naturally occurring polymeric material that is mostly obtained from seafood waste. Because of its special ecofriendly, biocompatible, non- toxic nature as well as antimicrobial properties, chitosan-based materials have received a lot of interest in the field of biomedical applications. The reactivity of chitosan is mainly because of the amino and hydroxyl groups in its composition, which makes it further fascinating for various uses, including biosensing, textile finishing, antimicrobial wound dressing, tissue engineering, bioimaging, gene, DNA and drug delivery and as a coating material for medical implants. This study is an overview of the different types of chitosan-based materials which now a days have been fabricated by applying different techniques and modifications that include etherification, esterification, crosslinking, graft copolymerization and o-acetylation etc. for hydroxyl groups' processes and acetylation, quaternization, Schiff's base reaction, and grafting for amino groups' reactions. Furthermore, this overview summarizes the literature from recent years related to the important applications of chitosan-based materials (i.e., thin films, nanocomposites or nanoparticles, sponges and hydrogels) in different biomedical applications.

Abstract
The use of orally-administered therapeutic proteins for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been limited due to the harsh gastrointestinal environment and low bioavailability that affects delivery to diseased sites. Here, a nested delivery system, termed Gal-IL10-EVs (C/A) that protects interleukin 10 (IL-10) from degradation in the stomach and enables targeted delivery of IL-10 to inflammatory macrophages infiltrating the colonic lamina propria, is reported. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carrying IL-10 are designed to be secreted from genetically engineered mammalian cells by a plasmid system, and EVs are subsequently modified with galactose, endowing the targeted IL-10 delivery to inflammatory macrophages. Chitosan/alginate (C/A) hydrogel coating on Gal-IL10-EVs enables protection from harsh conditions in the gastrointestinal tract and favorable delivery to the colonic lumen, where the C/A hydrogel coating is removed at the diseased sites. Gal-IL10-EVs control the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inhibit the expression of proinflammatory cytokines. In a murine model of colitis, Gal-IL10-EVs (C/A) alleviate IBD symptoms including inflammatory responses and disrupt colonic barriers. Taken together, Gal-IL10-EVs (C/A) features biocompatibility, pH-responsive drug release, and macrophage-targeting as a therapeutic platform for oral delivery of bioactive proteins for treating intestinal diseases.

Abstract
Wound healing is an extremely intricate process involving various potential factors that can contribute towards delayed healing, one of them being bacterial colonization. The current research addresses this issue through the development of herbal antimicrobial films that can be stripped off easily, formed using an essential oil component thymol, biopolymer chitosan, and herbal plant Aloe vera. In comparison to the conventionally used nanoemulsions, thymol encapsulated in chitosan-Aloe vera (CA) film exhibited high encapsulation efficiency (95.3 %) with alleviated physical stability, as established using a high zeta potential value. The pronounced loss of crystallinity, validated using X-ray diffractometry, combined with the results obtained from Infrared and Fluorescence spectroscopic analysis, confirmed the encapsulation of thymol in CA matrix through hydrophobic interactions. This encapsulation increases the spaces between biopolymer chains facilitating greater intrusion of water, conducive for preventing the possibility of bacterial infection. Antimicrobial activity was tested against various pathogenic microbes such as Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Candida. Results showed potential antimicrobial activity in the prepared films. Release test was also run at 25 °C suggesting a two-step biphasic release mechanism. The encapsulated thymol had higher biological activity, as assessed by antioxidant DPPH assay, likely due to improved dispersibility.

Abstract
There are many challenges faced the soft tissue adhesives in the medical application field. For example, there is a limited effective binding between the medical adhesive and different types of soft tissues. Chitosan (CS) and dopamine (DA) were used as structural units for synthesizing nanocomposites utilized as a wet tissue adhesive. To produce dopamine-chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposites (DA-CS-Fe3O4 NCs), DA was loaded onto chitosan-iron oxide nanocomposites. The nanocomposites have been prepared using ionic gelation method under vigorous homogenization and characterized by different techniques. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) have shown that DA-CS- Fe3O4 NCs could attach to the tissue through two possible functional groups, namely, the catechol and amine groups. The results of in vitro scratch wound-healing assay suggested that the prepared DA-CS- Fe3O4 NCs facilitate cell migration (the wound-closure percentage reached 96% at 72 h). All experimental results confirm that DA-CS- Fe3O4 NCs are strongly recommended for use as a soft medical tissue adhesive in wound healing and surgeries such as vascular surgery. In addition, the results of the whole blood clotting, antibacterial assessment, live and dead assay, cytotoxicity test, and wound-healing assay indicate that DA-CS-Fe3O4 NCs can be used as a multifunctional biomedical adhesive.

Abstract
The carbon footprint reduction mandate and other eco-friendly policies currently in place are constantly driving the trend of the synthesis and application of sustainable functional materials. The bitumen industry is not an exception to this trend and, every day, new technologies that facilitate safer, cost effective and more sustainable industrial processes and road paving operations are being researched and brought to light. A lot of research is currently ongoing to improve bitumen's properties due to its use as a binder in road paving processes. Over the years, the most common method to improve bitumen's properties has been with the use of additives. The major drawback in the use of these additives is the fact that they are substances of strong chemical nature which are either too acidic, too basic or emit toxic fumes and volatile organic compounds into the environment. In the long run, these chemicals are also toxic to the road pavement personnel that carry out the day to day industrial and paving operations. This led researchers to the initiative of synthesizing and applying biomaterials to be used as additives for bitumen. In this light, several studies have investigated the use of substances such as bio-oils, natural waxes, gum, polysaccharides and natural rubber. This literature review is aimed at classifying the different bio-based materials used to improve bitumen's properties and to provide a deeper knowledge of the application of these biomaterials in bitumen technology. In general, we highlight how the research efforts elaborated herein could potentially foster safer, sustainable, eco-friendly approaches to improving bitumen's properties while also promoting a circular economy.

Surface Properties of Saponin—Chitosan Mixtures. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27217505.

Abstract
The surface properties of saponin and saponin-chitosan mixtures were analysed as a function of their bulk mixing ratio using vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG), surface tensiometry and dilational rheology measurements. Our experiments show that saponin-chitosan mixtures present some remarkable properties, such as a strong amphiphilicity of the saponin and high dilational viscoelasticity. We believe this points to the presence of chitosan in the adsorption layer, despite its complete lack of surface activity. We explain this phenomenon by electrostatic interactions between the saponin as an anionic surfactant and chitosan as a polycation, leading to surface-active saponin-chitosan complexes and aggregates. Analysing the SFG intensity of the O-H stretching bands from interfacial water molecules, we found that in the case of pH 3.4 for a mixture consisting of 0.1 g/L saponin and 0.001 g/L chitosan, the adsorption layer was electrically neutral. This conclusion from SFG spectra is corroborated by results from surface tensiometry showing a significant reduction in surface tension and effects on the dilational surface elasticity strictly at saponin/chitosan ratios, where SFG spectra indicate zero net charge at the air–water interface.

Hybrid Mineral/Organic Material Induces Bone Bridging and Bone Volume Augmentation in Rat Calvarial Critical Size Defects. Cells 2022; 11:cells11182865.

Abstract
In craniofacial bone defects, the promotion of bone volume augmentation remains a challenge. Finding strategies for bone regeneration such as combining resorbable minerals with organic polymers would contribute to solving the bone volume roadblock. Here, dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, chitosan and hyaluronic acid were used to functionalize a bone-side collagen membrane. Despite an increase in the release of inflammatory mediators by human circulating monocytes, the in vivo implantation of the functionalized membrane allowed the repair of a critical-sized defect in a calvaria rat model with de novo bone exhibiting physiological matrix composition and structural organization. Microtomography, histological and Raman analysis combined with nanoindentation testing revealed an increase in bone volume in the presence of the functionalized membrane and the formation of woven bone after eight weeks of implantation; these data showed the potential of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate, chitosan and hyaluronic acid to induce an efficient repair of critical-sized bone defects and establish the importance of thorough multi-scale characterization in assessing biomaterial outcomes in animal models.

Abstract
The Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is considered a serious threat to global poultry production. Despite the availability of vaccines, it remains a major devastating epidemic responsible for great economic losses. The development of novel virus-controlling strategies is therefore an urgent need. The present study investigated for the first time the antiviral efficacy of propolis and chitosan nanoparticles against two NDV isolates, MW881875 and MW881876, recovered from vaccinated commercial broiler farms in KafrEl Sheikh Governorate, Egypt. The polygenetic analysis focused on the F and M genes, with one isolate having a 97% identity with the genotype VII NDV Israeli strain. On the other hand, the identified isolates showed high genetic variation and only 76% identity with the LaSota vaccine (genotype II). More interestingly, the cell cytotoxic concentrations of chitosan, propolis, and a propolis–chitosan mixture against Vero cells were 327.41 ± 12.63, 109.48 ± 8.36, and 231.78 ± 11.46 μg/ml, respectively. The median tissue culture infectious dose (TCID50) assay demonstrated that the nanoparticles have antiviral effects after NDV exposure resulting in significant decrease in viral titer (TCID50) by 2, 2.66, and 2.5 log10 at 62 μg/ml of chitosan, 13 μg/ml of propolis, and 30 μg/ml of the propolis–chitosan mixture, respectively, compared with the control TCID50 value of 4 log10. Taken together, the results provide novel insights into the potentially promising roles of propolis and chitosan as novel, safe, and effective antiviral agents against NDV.

Abstract
Several naturally occurring biopolymers are commercially produced from livestock and farmed animals processing wastes, including aquatic organisms. These wastes are considered valuable coproducts of fishery processing industry, from which biopolymers may be recovered and exploited for their bioactive potential. The aim of this work was to prepare polymeric films from collagen and chitosan solutions, extracted from fishery discards, and investigate the cytotoxicity and immunomodulatory activity towards human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). PBMCs were isolated from healthy donors and treated with Chitosan, Collagen, Chitosan+Collagen solutions and Chitosan+Collagen film in order to measure the changes in cell viability, cytosolic calcium concentration ([Ca2+]cyt), mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, differentiation and activation of T CD8+ and CD4+ lymphocytes, and cytokine production. Results showed that collagen and chitosan preparations did not show cytotoxic effect, while cellular IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α release was observed. Chitosan and collagen were able to promote non-cytotoxic PBMCs activation through cytosolic and mitochondrial ROS production. There was a noteworthy phenotyping of lymphocytes T CD8+ and CD4+ counting and an increase of [Ca2+] cyt and ΔΨm levels. These results suggest that chitosan/collagen-based biomaterials produce immunostimulatory effects on PBMC with potential to biomedical approaches.

Abstract
To date, skin wounds are still an issue for healthcare professionals. Although numerous approaches have been developed over the years for skin regeneration, recent advances in regenerative medicine offer very promising strategies for the fabrication of artificial skin substitutes, including 3D bioprinting, electrospinning or spraying, among others. In particular, skin sprays are an innovative technique still under clinical evaluation that show great potential for the delivery of cells and hydrogels to treat acute and chronic wounds. Skin sprays present significant advantages compared to conventional treatments for wound healing, such as the facility of application, the possibility to treat large wound areas, or the homogeneous distribution of the sprayed material. In this article, we review the latest advances in this technology, giving a detailed description of investigational and currently commercially available acellular and cellular skin spray products, used for a variety of diseases and applying different experimental materials. Moreover, as skin sprays products are subjected to different classifications, we also explain the regulatory pathways for their commercialization and include the main clinical trials for different skin diseases and their treatment conditions. Finally, we argue and suggest possible future trends for the biotechnology of skin sprays for a better use in clinical dermatology. Skin sprays represent a promising technique for wound healing applications. Skin sprays can deliver cells and hydrogels with great facility over large wounds. Many skin spray products have been studied, only a few have been commercialized. Numerous clinical trials study spray products for skin diseases like psoriasis. Improved spraying devices should be developed for different materials and cells.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) can be implicated in the perturbations of vascular integrity and the dysfunction of angiogenesis. Chitosan has the advantage of promoting the vascular endothelial cell proliferation. However, the molecular mechanism of action in the promotion of wound healing by chitosan derivatives is still debated. In the current study, DM with chronic wound (CW) model rats were prepared and treated with chitosan. Vascular endothelial cells isolated from granulation tissues were conducted by RNA sequencing. Two thousand three hundred and sixteen genes were up-regulated, while 1,864 genes were down-regulated after chitosan treatment compared to CW group. Here, we observed that caveolin 1 (CAV1) was highly expressed induced by chitosan. Furthermore, we observed that CAV1 knockdown could compromise the activation of Wnt pathway by reduction of β-catenin in rat aortic endothelial cells (RAOECs) and brain endothelium four cells (RBE4s). Moreover, we determined a direct interaction between CAV1 and β-catenin by IP assay. The C-terminus of CAV1 and β-catenin (24 to 586 amino acids) contributed to the interaction of these two proteins. Finally, the protein docking analysis indicated that the fragments of β-catenin (253–261 ‘FYAITTLHN’ and 292–303 ‘KFLAITTDCLQI’) might have affected the structure by CAV1 and facilitated the resistance to degradation. Taken together, our study demonstrates that chitosan can up-regulate CAV1 expression, and CAV1 can interact with β-catenin for promotion of canonical Wnt signaling pathway activity. Our results deepens the molecular mechanism of the Wnt pathway in vascular endothelial cells and is beneficial to developing new targets to assist in enhancing the pharmacological effect of chitosan on wound healing and angiogenesis against DM.

Abstract
Nowadays, a prevalent joint disease affecting both cartilage and subchondral bone is osteoarthritis. Osteochondral tissue, a complex tissue unit, exhibited limited self-renewal potential. Furthermore, its gradient properties, including mechanical property, bio-compositions, and cellular behaviors, present a challenge in repairing and regenerating damaged osteochondral tissues. Here, tissue engineering and translational medicine development using bioprinting technology provided a promising strategy for osteochondral tissue repair. In this regard, personalized stratified scaffolds, which play an influential role in osteochondral regeneration, can provide potential treatment options in early-stage osteoarthritis to delay or avoid the use of joint replacements. Accordingly, bioactive scaffolds with possible integration with surrounding tissue and controlling inflammatory responses have promising future tissue engineering perspectives. This minireview focuses on introducing biologically active inks for bioprinting the hierarchical scaffolds, containing growth factors and bioactive materials for 3D printing of regenerative osteochondral substitutes.

Chitosan as additive affects the bacterial community, accelerates the removals of antibiotics and related resistance genes during chicken manure composting.

Abstract
Manures, storages for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), pollute soil and water as well as endanger human health. Recently, we have been searching a better solution to remove antibiotics and ARGs during aerobic composting. Here, the dynamics of chitosan addition on the profiles of 71 ARGs, bacterial communities, chlortetracycline (CTC), ofloxacin (OFX) were investigated in chicken manure composting and compared with zeolite addition. Chitosan addition effectively reduces antibiotics contents (CTC under detection limit, OFX 90.96%), amounts (18) and abundance (56.7%, 11.1% higher than zeolite addition) of ARGs and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) after 42 days composting. Network analysis indicated that a total of 27 genera strains assigned into 4 phyla (Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes) were the potential hosts of ARGs. Redundancy analysis (RDA) demonstrated that bacterial community succession is the main contributor in the variation of ARGs. Overall, chitosan addition may effect bacterial composition by influencing physic-chemical properties and the concentration of antibiotics, Cu2+, Zn2+ to reduce the risk of ARG transmission. This study gives a new strategy about antibiotics and ARGs removal from composting on the basis of previous studies.

Abstract
Over the decades, researchers have strived to synthesize and modify nature-inspired biomaterials, with the primary aim to address the challenges of designing functional biomaterials for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. Among these challenges, biocompatibility and cellular interactions have been extensively investigated. Some of the most desirable characteristics for biomaterials in these applications are the loading of bioactive molecules, strong adhesion to moist areas, improvement of cellular adhesion, and self-healing properties. Mussel-inspired biomaterials have received growing interest mainly due to the changes in mechanical and biological functions of the scaffold due to catechol modification. Here, we summarize the chemical and biological principles and the latest advancements in production, as well as the use of mussel-inspired biomaterials. Our main focus is the polydopamine coating, the conjugation of catechol with other polymers, and the biomedical applications that polydopamine moieties are used for, such as matrices for drug delivery, tissue regeneration, and hemostatic control. We also present a critical conclusion and an inspired view on the prospects for the development and application of mussel-inspired materials.

Abstract
Nanosystems that incorporate both polymers and lipids have garnered attention as emerging nanotechnology approach for oral drug delivery. These hybrid systems leverage on the combined properties of polymeric and lipid-based nanocarriers while eliminating their inherent limitations. In view of the safety-related benefits of naturally occurring polymers, we have focused on systems incorporating polysaccharides and derivatives into the hybrid structure. The aim of this review is to evaluate existing biopolymers with specific focus on lipopolysaccharide hybrid systems and their advancement toward enhancing oral drug delivery. Furthermore, we shall identify future research areas that require further exploration toward achieving an optimized hybrid system for easy translation into clinical use. In this review, we have appraised formulations that combined polysaccharides/derivatives with lipids in a single nanocarrier system. These formulations were grouped into lipid-core-polysaccharide-shell systems, polysaccharide-core-lipid-shell systems, self-emulsifying lipopolysaccharide hybrid systems, and hybrid lipopolysaccharide matrix systems. In these systems, we highlighted how the polysaccharide phase enhances the oral absorption of encapsulated bioactives with regard to their function and mechanism. The various lipopolysaccharide designs presented in this review demonstrated significant improvement in pharmacokinetics of bioactives. A multitude of studies found lipopolysaccharide hybrid systems as nascent nanoplatforms for the oral delivery of challenging bioactives due to features that favor gastrointestinal absorption and bioavailability improvement. With future research already geared toward product optimization and scaling up processes, as well as detailed pharmacological and toxicology pre-clinical testing, these versatile systems will have remarkable impact in clinical application.

Abstract
Conventional bone grafting procedures used to treat bone defects have several limitations. An important aspect of bone tissue engineering is developing novel bone substitute biomaterials for bone grafts to repair orthopedic defects. Considerable attention has been given to chitosan, a natural biopolymer primarily extracted from crustacean shells, which offers desirable characteristics, such as being biocompatible, biodegradable, and osteoconductive. This review presents an overview of the chitosan-based biomaterials for bone tissue engineering (BTE). It covers the basic knowledge of chitosan in terms of biomaterials, the traditional and novel strategies of the chitosan scaffold fabrication process, and their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, this paper integrates the relevant contributions in giving a brief insight into the recent research development of chitosan-based scaffolds and their limitations in BTE. The last part of the review discusses the next-generation smart chitosan-based scaffold and current applications in regenerative dentistry and future directions in the field of mineralized tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Burn wounds are complex and intricate injuries that have become a common cause of trauma leading to significant mortality and morbidity every year. Dressings are applied to burn wounds with the aim of promoting wound healing, preventing burn infection and restoring skin function. The dressing protects the injury and contributes to recovery of dermal and epidermal tissues. Polymer-based nanotherapeutics are increasingly being exploited as burn wound dressings. Natural polymers such as cellulose, chitin, alginate, collagen, gelatin and synthetic polymers like poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), polycaprolactone, polyethylene glycol, and polyvinyl alcohol are being obtained as nanofibers by nanotechnological approaches like electrospinning and have shown wound healing and re-epithelialization properties. Their biocompatibility, biodegradability, sound mechanical properties and unique structures provide optimal microenvironment for cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration contributing to burn wound healing. The polymeric nanofibers mimic collagen fibers present in extracellular matrix and their high porosity and surface area to volume ratio enable increased interaction and sustained release of therapeutics at the site of thermal injury. This review is an attempt to compile all recent advances in the use of polymer-based nanotherapeutics for burn wounds. The various natural and synthetic polymers used have been discussed comprehensively and approaches being employed have been reported. With immense research effort that is currently being invested in this field and development of proper characterization and regulatory framework, future progress in burn treatment is expected to occur. Moreover, appropriate preclinical and clinical research will provide evidence for the great potential that polymer-based nanotherapeutics hold in the management of burn wounds.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a long-term chronic joint disease characterized by the deterioration of bones and cartilage, which results in rubbing of bones which causes joint stiffness, pain, and restriction of movement. Tissue engineering strategies for repairing damaged and diseased cartilage tissue have been widely studied with various types of stem cells, chondrocytes, and extracellular matrices being on the lead of new discoveries. The application of natural or synthetic compound-based scaffolds for the improvement of chondrogenic differentiation efficiency and cartilage tissue engineering is of great interest in regenerative medicine. However, the properties of such constructs under conditions of mechanical load, which is one of the most important factors for the successful cartilage regeneration and functioning in vivo is poorly understood. In this review, we have primarily focused on natural compounds, particularly extracellular matrix macromolecule-based scaffolds and their combinations for the chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells and chondrocytes. We also discuss different mechanical forces and compression models that are used for In Vitro studies to improve chondrogenic differentiation. Summary of provided mechanical stimulation models In Vitro reviews the current state of the cartilage tissue regeneration technologies and to the potential for more efficient application of cell- and scaffold-based technologies for osteoarthritis or other cartilage disorders.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of chitosan polymer on dentinal enzymatic activity by means of gelatin and in situ zymography. Human dentin was frozen and ground in a miller. Dentin powder aliquots were demineralized with phosphoric acid and treated with three different concentrations of lyophilized chitosan polymer (1, 0.5 and 0.1 wt%) dissolved in distilled water. Dentin proteins were extracted from each experimental group and electrophoresed under non-reducing conditions in 10% SDS-PAGE containing fluorescein-labeled gelatin. After 48 h in the incubation buffer at 37 °C, proteolytic activity was registered under long-wave UV light scanner and quantified by using Image J software. Furthermore, additional teeth (n = 4) were prepared for the in situ zymographic analysis in unrestored as well as restored dentin pretreated with the same chitosan primers. The registered enzymatic activity was directly proportional to the chitosan concentration and higher in the restored dentin groups (p < 0.05), except for the 0.1% chitosan primer. Chitosan 0.1% only showed faint expression of enzymatic activity compared to 1% and 0.5% concentrations. Chitosan 0.1% dissolved in water can produce significant reduction in MMPs activity and could possibly contribute to bond strength preservation over time.

Microwave Enabled Physically Cross Linked Sodium Alginate and Pectin Film and Their Application in Combination with Modified Chitosan-Curcumin Nanoparticles. A Novel Strategy for 2nd Degree Burns Wound Healing in Animals. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13162716. [PMID: 34451253 PMCID: PMC8399952 DOI: 10.3390/polym13162716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 08/10/2021] [Accepted: 08/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
This study reports microwave assisted physically cross-linked sodium alginate and pectin film and their testing in combination with modified chitosan-curcumin nanoparticles for skin tissue regeneration following 2nd degree burn wound. Film was formulated by solution casting method and physically cross-linked using microwave irradiation at frequency of 2450 MHz, power 750 Watt for different time intervals for optimization. The optimized formulation was analyzed for various physiochemical attributes. Afterwards, the optimized film and optimized modified chitosan-curcumin nanoparticles were tested in combination for skin regeneration potential following burn wound in vivo and skin samples extracted and tested for different attributes. The results indicated that the optimized film formulation (5 min microwave treatment) physicochemical attributes significantly enhanced addressing the properties required of a wound healing platform. The vibrational analysis indicated that the optimized film experienced significant rigidification of hydrophilic domains while the hydrophobic domains underwent significant fluidization which also resulted in significant increase in the transition temperatures and system enthalpies of both polymer moieties with microwave treatment. The combined film and nanoparticles application significantly increased protein content in the wounds which were evident from higher absorbance ratios of amide-I and amide-II (2.15 ± 0.001), significantly higher melting transition temperature and enthalpy (∆T = 167.2 ± 15.4 °C, ∆H = 510.7 ± 20.1 J/g) and higher tensile strength (14.65 ± 0.8 MPa) with significantly enhanced percent re-epithelization (99.9934 ± 2.56) in comparison to other treatments. The combined application of film and nanoparticles may prove to be a new novel treatment strategy for 2nd degree burn wound healing.

Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2021; 206:111922. [PMID: 34157519 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2021.111922] [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: 03/13/2021] [Revised: 06/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
The present study explores the therapeutic efficacy of sodium alginate-chitosan scaffolds loaded with Chrysin (ALG-CS-CHY) for dermal wound management. Scaffolds were prepared by the vacuum freeze-drying method. The physiochemical characterization was done through Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR), which revealed the interactions between the scaffold's functional groups and the drug. Surface Electron microscopy (SEM) showed a porous architecture varying from 200-400 μm. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) showed an ionic interaction between ALG-CS leading to their excellent compatibility. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) results suggest increased ALG-CS scaffold's thermal stability. In-vitro biodegradation behavior demonstrated controlled degradation with lysozyme. The swelling ratio was highest in the first hour and decreased slowly with time, and the porosity analysis showed a high degree of porosity. The ALG-CS scaffold showed sustained drug availability and minimized re-application, which contributes to effective healing and treatment. The blood compatibility and whole blood clotting ability of the scaffold significantly improved after incorporating the drug. Calcein AM, Propidium iodide, was used for live and dead cell staining, which confirmed that fabricated ALG-CS-CHY scaffolds are biocompatible and facilitate cell growth and cell proliferation. In-vivo and in-vitro observations show that the experimental group treated using the ALG-CS-CHY reduces the period of re-epithelization, accelerated fibroblast cell migration, and contracted wound significantly (p < 0.001) compared to other groups. ALG-CS-CHY scaffolds also increased collagen deposition, hexosamine synthesis, accelerates angiogenesis, and recruiting immune cells at the site of a wound. These results suggest ALG-CS-CHY scaffold serves as an effective dressing for dermal wound management.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to elaborate a hydrogel constituted by carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), hyaluronic acid (HA) and silver (Ag) and to evaluate its healing effect on partial-thickness burn wounds experimentally induced in rats. METHODS CMC was obtained by chitosan reacting with monochloroacetic acid. The carboxymethylation was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Scanning electron microscopy was used to determine the morphologicalcharacteristics of chitosan and CMC. After the experimental burn wound induction, the animals (n = 126) were treated with different CMC formulations, had their occlusive dressings changed daily and were followed through 7, 14 and 30 days. Morphometric, macroscopic and microscopic aspects and collagen quantification were evaluated. RESULTS Significative wound contraction, granulation tissue formation, inflammatory infiltration and collagen fibers deposit throughout different phases of the healing process were observed in the CMC hydrogels treated groups. CONCLUSIONS The results showed that, in the initial phase of the healing process, the most adequate product was the CMC/HA/Ag association, while in the other phases the CMC/HA association was the best one to promote the healing of burn wounds.

Abstract
Nucleic acid vaccines are a method of immunization aiming to elicit immune responses akin to live attenuated vaccines. In this method, DNA or messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences are delivered to the body to generate proteins, which mimic disease antigens to stimulate the immune response. Advantages of nucleic acid vaccines include stimulation of both cell-mediated and humoral immunity, ease of design, rapid adaptability to changing pathogen strains, and customizable multiantigen vaccines. To combat the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and many other diseases, nucleic acid vaccines appear to be a promising method. However, aid is needed in delivering the fragile DNA/mRNA payload. Many delivery strategies have been developed to elicit effective immune stimulation, yet no nucleic acid vaccine has been FDA-approved for human use. Nanoparticles (NPs) are one of the top candidates to mediate successful DNA/mRNA vaccine delivery due to their unique properties, including unlimited possibilities for formulations, protective capacity, simultaneous loading, and delivery potential of multiple DNA/mRNA vaccines. This review will summarize the many varieties of novel NP formulations for DNA and mRNA vaccine delivery as well as give the reader a brief synopsis of NP vaccine clinical trials. Finally, the future perspectives and challenges for NP-mediated nucleic acid vaccines will be explored.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have entered a new stage of development by the recent progress in biology, material sciences, and particularly an emerging additive manufacturing technique, three-dimensional (3D) printing. 3D printing is an advanced biofabrication technique which can generate patient-specific scaffolds with highly complex geometries while hosting cells and bioactive agents to accelerate tissue regeneration. Chitosan hydrogels themselves have been widely used for various biomedical applications due to its abundant availability, structural features and favorable biological properties; however, the 3D printing of chitosan-based hydrogels is still under early exploration. Therefore, 3D printing technologies represent a new avenue to explore the potential application of chitosan as an ink for 3D printing, or as a coating on other 3D printed scaffolds. The combination of chitosan-based hydrogels and 3D printing holds much promise in the development of next generation biomedical implants.

Abstract
This article deliberates about the importance of polymer-based bioadhesive biomaterials' medical application in healthcare and in redefining healthcare management. Nowadays, the application of bioadhesion in the health sector is one of the great interests for various researchers, due to recent advances in their formulation development. Actually, this area of study is considered as an active multidisciplinary research approach, where engineers, scientists (including chemists, physicists, biologists, and medical experts), material producers and manufacturers combine their knowledge in order to provide better healthcare. Moreover, while discussing the implications of value-based healthcare, it is necessary to mention that health comprises three main domains, namely, physical, mental, and social health, which not only prioritize the quality healthcare, but also enable us to measure the outcomes of medical interventions. In addition, this conceptual article provides an understanding of the consequences of the natural or synthetic polymer-based bioadhesion of biomaterials, and its significance for redefining healthcare management as a novel approach. Furthermore, the research assumptions highlight that the quality healthcare concept has recently become a burning topic, wherein healthcare service providers, private research institutes, government authorities, public service boards, associations and academics have taken the initiative to restructure the healthcare system to create value for patients and increase their satisfaction, and lead ultimately to a healthier society.

Abstract
Managing a bleeding patient can be a challenge during dental surgery. Profuse hemorrhage due to platelet defects, coagulation disorders, vascular anomalies, medication-induced patients, as well as inherited bleeding ailments result in soft tissue hematoma, septic shock, compromised airway, and in some severe cases, death could occur. A vast array of surgical hemostatic agents are available to stop bleeding, including chitosan-based hemostatic agents. Chitosan has an advantage over other topical hemostatic materials for its ability to promote shorter bleeding times and assist in healing. Massive behind-the-scene research and development efforts are ongoing to increase the performance of chitosan as a hemostatic agent. Numerous studies on chitosan use in dental hemostasis have registered it as being safe, biodegradable, biocompatible, promoting healing, antimicrobial and bioactive. This article reviews the application of chitosan in managing hemostasis in dental patients.

Abstract
Background Stem cell therapies have gained great attention for providing novel solutions for treatment of various injuries and diseases due to stem cells’ self-renewal, ability to differentiate into various cell types, and favorite paracrine function. Nevertheless, the low retention of transplanted stem cell still limits their clinical applications such as in wound healing in view of an induced harsh microenvironment rich in reactive oxygen species (ROS) during inflammatory reactions. Methods Herein, a novel chitosan/acellular dermal matrix (CHS/ADM) stem cell delivery system is developed, which is of great ROS scavenging activity and significantly attenuates inflammatory response. Result Under ROS microenvironment, this stem cell delivery system acts as a barrier, effectively scavenging an amount of ROS and protecting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the oxidative stress. It notably regulates intracellular ROS level in MSCs and reduces ROS-induced cellular death. Most importantly, such MSCs delivery system significantly enhances in vivo transplanted stem cell retention, promotes the vessel growth, and accelerates wound healing. Conclusions This novel delivery system, which overcomes the limitations of conventional plain collagen-based delivery system in lacking of ROS-environmental responsive mechanisms, demonstrates a great potential use in stem cell therapies in wound healing.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to restore damaged tissues and mainly takes advantage of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs), either alone or combined with three-dimensional scaffolds. The scaffold is generally considered a support, and its contribution to hMSC proliferation and differentiation is unknown or poorly investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of an innovative three-dimensional gelatin–chitosan hybrid hydrogel scaffold (HC) to activate the osteogenic differentiation process in hMSCs. We seeded hMSCs from adipose tissue (AT-hMSCs) and bone marrow (BM-hMSCs) in highly performing HC of varying chitosan content in the presence of growing medium (GM) or osteogenic medium (OM) combined with Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) or human platelet lysate (hPL). We primarily evaluated the viability and the proliferation of AT-hMSCs and BM-hMSCs under different conditions. Then, in order to analyse the activation of osteogenic differentiation, the osteopontin (OPN) transcript was absolutely quantified at day 21 by digital PCR. OPN was expressed under all conditions, in both BM-hMSCs and AT-hMSCs. Cells seeded in HC cultured with OM+hPL presented the highest OPN transcript levels, as expected. Interestingly, both BM-hMSCs and AT-hMSCs cultured with GM+FBS expressed OPN. In particular, BM-hMSCs cultured with GM+FBS expressed more OPN than those cultured with GM+hPL and OM+FBS; AT-hMSCs cultured with GM+FBS presented a lower expression of OPN when compared with those cultured with GM+hPL, but no significant difference was detected when compared with AT-hMSCs cultured with OM+FBS. No OPN expression was detected in negative controls. These results show the capability of HC to primarily and independently activate osteogenic differentiation pathways in hMCSs. Therefore, these scaffolds may be considered no more as a simple support, rather than active players in the differentiative and regenerative process.

Abstract
Introduction Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are potential cell sources for cartilage tissue engineering. Chitosan has been shown to enhance the stemness and differentiation capability of ASCs, and the native extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from articular cartilage has been also reported to induce chondrogenic differentiation of ASCs. Here we tested the hypothesis that a porous three-dimensional (3D) hybrid scaffold composed of chitosan and cartilage ECM can provide a better environment to induce ASC chondrogenesis. Methods Mixed solution composed of chitosan and cartilage ECM was frozen and lyophilized to form a composite construct. The porous 3D scaffolds were further crosslinked by genipin and used for ASC culture. Results Cultivation of ASCs in the chitosan/cartilage ECM composite 3D scaffolds induced the formation of cell spheroids with profound glycosaminoglycan production after 14 and 28 days culture. Chondrogenesis of ASCs seeded in the 3D scaffolds was also evident by mRNA expressions of cartilage-specific gene COL2A1 and ACAN on day 14. Histology and immunohistochemistry on day 28 also showed abundant cartilage-specific macromolecules, namely collagen type II and proteoglycan, deposited in a surface layer of the composite scaffold with tangential layer, transitional layer, and lacunae-like structures. Otherwise, hypertrophic markers collagen type I and X were concentrated in the area beneath the surface. Conclusion Our findings demonstrated spatial chondrogenic differentiation of ASCs in the chitosan-cartilage ECM composite scaffolds. This 3D hybrid scaffold exhibits great potentials for ASC-based cartilage tissue engineering. Cultivation of ASCs in the chitosan and cartilage ECM hybrid scaffold induced chondrogenesis. ASCs in composite scaffold expressed cartilage-specific genes COL2A1 and ACAN. Histologic inspections showed abundant cartilage-specific collagen type II and proteoglycan productions. Chitosan-cartilage ECM hybrid scaffold exhibits great potentials for ASC-based cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cell-cell and cell-substrate interactions in coculture systems are very important to the context of biomaterial scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. Understanding the cellular interactions and distribution of epithelial-mesenchymal microtissues on the controllable biomaterial surfaces is useful to study the organoid applications. The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of chitosan/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-blended biomaterials on the distribution and spheroid formation of HaCaT and Hs68 cells in a coculture system. In this study, we demonstrated that the cocultured cells gradually changed their pattern from core/shell spheroid to monolayered morphology as the PCL content increased in the blended substrates. This indicates that the chitosan/PCL-blended substrates are able to regulate cell-substrate and cell-cell interactions to modify the distribution of HaCaT and Hs68 cells similar to various mesenchymal-epithelial organizations in biological tissues. Moreover, we also developed a two-dimension lattice model to elaborate the dependence of cell spheroid development on complex cell-cell interactions. This information may be helpful to develop appropriate biomaterials with appropriate properties to the applications of engineered epithelial-mesenchymal organoids.

Abstract
Biological nanoparticles found in living systems possess distinct molecular architectures and diverse functions. Glycogen is a unique biological polysaccharide nanoparticle fabricated by nature through a bottom-up approach. The biocatalytic synthesis of glycogen has evolved over time to form a nanometer-sized dendrimer-like structure (20-150 nm) with a highly branched surface and a dense core. This makes glycogen markedly different from other natural linear or branched polysaccharides and particularly attractive as a platform for biomedical applications. Glycogen is inherently biodegradable, nontoxic, and can be functionalized with diverse surface and internal motifs for enhanced biofunctional properties. Recently, there has been growing interest in glycogen as a natural alternative to synthetic polymers and nanoparticles in a range of applications. Herein, the recent literature on glycogen in the material-based sciences, including its use as a constituent in biodegradable hydrogels and fibers, drug delivery vectors, tumor targeting and penetrating nanoparticles, immunomodulators, vaccine adjuvants, and contrast agents, is reviewed. The various methods of chemical functionalization and physical assembly of glycogen nanoparticles into multicomponent nanodevices, which advance glycogen toward a functional therapeutic nanoparticle from nature and back again, are discussed in detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioengineering products can help bone tissue regeneration. OBJECTIVE There is an ongoing research for more effective biomaterials in bone regeneration. Chitosan (Ch) grafted stearic acid (Ch-g-Sa) polymer was synthesized and its usability as a putty was evaluated in this study. METHODS The chemical structure of Ch-g-Sa polymer was investigated using Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) and Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy-attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR). Thermal properties of Ch-g-Sa polymer were determined by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Putties containing nano-hydroxyapatite were prepared and in-vitro degradation properties and viscosity of the putties were determined. RESULTS The cytotoxicity, oxidation effect and osteogenic potential of the putties were investigated on MC3T3 cells while the inflammatory effect of the putties was studied on THP-1 cells. For the determination of the osteogenic effect of the putties, ALP and RUNX2 gene expression of MC3T3 cells were studied. CONCLUSION Ch-g-Sa/HA putties are promising biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration.
