Abstract
Large bone defects, often resulting from trauma and disease, present significant clinical challenges. Electrospun fibrous scaffolds closely resembling the morphology and structure of natural ECM are highly interested in bone tissue engineering. However, the traditional electrospun fibrous scaffold has some limitations, including lacking interconnected macropores and behaving as a 2D scaffold. To address these challenges, a sponge-like electrospun poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) fibrous scaffold has been developed by an innovative and convenient method (i.e., electrospinning, homogenization, progen leaching and shaping). The resulting scaffold exhibited a highly porous structure (overall porosity = 85.9 %) with interconnected, regular macropores, mimicking the natural extracellular matrix. Moreover, the incorporation of bioactive glass (BG) particles improved the hydrophilicity (water contact angle = 79.7°) and biocompatibility and promoted osteoblast cell growth. In-vitro 10-day experiment revealed that the scaffolds led to high cell viability. The increment of the proliferation rates was 195.4 % at day 7 and 281.6 % at day 10. More importantly, Saos-2 cells could grow, proliferate, and infiltrate into the scaffold. Therefore, this 3D PLLA/PCL with BG sponge holds great promise for bone defect repair in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Study Design Human bone marrow stem cells (hBMSCs) and human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) have demonstrated the capability to regenerate bone once they have differentiated into osteoblasts. Objective This systematic review aimed to evaluate the in vitro osteogenic differentiation potential of these cells when seeded in a poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) scaffold. Methods A literature search of 4 databases following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted in January 2021 for studies evaluating the osteogenic differentiation potential of hBMSCs and hADSCs seeded in a PLGA scaffold. Only in vitro models were included. Studies in languages other than English were excluded. Results A total of 257 studies were identified after the removal of duplicates. Seven articles fulfilled our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Four of these reviews used hADSCs and three used hBMSCs in the scaffold. Upregulation in osteogenic gene expression was seen in all the cells seeded in a 3-dimensional scaffold compared with 2-dimensional films. High angiogenic gene expression was found in hADSCs. Addition of inorganic material to the scaffold material affected cell performance. Conclusions Viability, proliferation, and differentiation of cells strongly depend on the environment where they grow. There are several factors that can enhance the differentiation capacity of stem cells. A PLGA scaffold proved to be a biocompatible material capable of boosting the osteogenic differentiation potential and mineralization capacity in hBMSCs and hADSCs.

Abstract
Among the various biochemical and biophysical inducers for neural regeneration, electrical stimulation (ES) has recently attracted considerable attention as an efficient means to induce neuronal differentiation in tissue engineering approaches. The aim of this in vitro study was to develop a nanofibrous scaffold that enables ES-mediated neuronal differentiation in the absence of exogenous soluble inducers. A nanofibrous scaffold composed of polycaprolactone (PCL), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), and single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) was fabricated via electrospinning and its physicochemical properties were investigated. The cytocompatibility of the electrospun composite with the PC12 cell line and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) was investigated. The results showed that the PCL/PLLA/SWNT nanofibrous scaffold did not exhibit cytotoxicity and supported cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation. ES was applied to cells cultured on the nanofibrous scaffolds at different intensities and the expression of the three neural markers (Nestin, Microtubule-associated protein 2, and β tubulin-3) was evaluated using RT-qPCR analysis. The results showed that the highest expression of neural markers could be achieved at an electric field intensity of 200 mV/cm, suggesting that the scaffold in combination with ES can be an efficient tool to accelerate neural differentiation in the absence of exogenous soluble inducers. This has important implications for the regeneration of nerve injuries and may provide insights for further investigations of the mechanisms underlying ES-mediated neuronal commitment.

Abstract
The treatment of severe musculoskeletal injuries, such as loss of bone tissue and consolidation disorders, requires bone transplantation, and the success of this bone reconstruction depends on the grafts transplant's osteogenic, osteoconductive, and osteoinductive properties. Although the gold standard is autograft, it is limited by availability, morbidity, and infection risk. Despite their low capacity for osteoinduction and osteogenesis, decellularized bone allografts have been used in the search for alternative therapeutic strategies to improve bone regeneration. Considering that bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are responsible for the maintenance of bone turnover throughout life, we believe that associating BMSCs with allograft could produce a material that is biologically similar to autologous bone graft. For this reason, this study evaluated the osteogenic potential of bone allograft cellularized with BMSCs. First, BMSC was characterized and allograft decellularization was confirmed by histology, scanning electron microscopy, and DNA quantification. Subsequently, the BMSCs and allografts were associated and evaluated for adhesion, proliferation, and in vitro and in vivo osteogenic potential. We demonstrated that, after 2 hours, BMSCs had already adhered to the surface of allografts and remained viable for 14 days. In vitro osteogenic assays indicated increased osteogenic potential of allografts compared with beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). In vivo transplantation assays in immunodeficient mice confirmed the allograft's potential to induce bone formation, with significantly better results than β-TCP. Finally, our results indicate that allograft can provide structural support for BMSC adhesion, offering a favorable microenvironment for cell survival and differentiation and inducing new bone formation. Taken together, our data indicate that this rapid methodology for cellularization of allograft with BMSCs might be a new therapeutic alternative in regenerative medicine and bone bioengineering.

Abstract
Critical sized bone defects are difficult to manage and currently available clinical/surgical strategies for treatment are not completely successful. Polycaprolactone (PCL) which is a biodegradable and biocompatible thermoplastic can be 3D printed using medical images into patient specific bone implants. The excellent mechanical properties and low immunogenicity of PCL makes it an ideal biomaterial candidate for 3D printing of bone implants. Though PCL suffers from the limitation of being bio-inert. Here we describe the use of PCL as a biomaterial for 3D printing for bone regeneration, and advances made in the field. The specific focus is on the different 3D printing techniques used for this purpose and various modification that can enhance bone regeneration following the development pathways. We further describe the effect of various scaffold characteristics on bone regeneration both in vitro and the translational assessment of these 3D printed PCL scaffolds in animal studies. The generated knowledge will help understand cell-material interactions of 3D printed PCL scaffolds, to further improve scaffold chemistry and design that can replicate bone developmental processes and can be translated clinically.

Abstract
Long-term dental implant success is dependent on biocompatibility and osseointegration between the bone and the implant. Surface modifications such as laser-induced microgrooving which increase contact area can enhance osseointegration by establishing and directing a stable attachment between the implant surface and peri-implant bone. The objective of this study was to evaluate pre-osteoblast proliferation, morphology, and differentiation on titanium alloy (Ti64) surfaces-Laser-Lok© (LL), resorbable blast textured (RBT), and machined (M)-compared to tissue culture plastic (TCP) control. We hypothesized the LL surfaces would facilitate increased cellular alignment compared to all other groups, and LL and RBT surfaces would demonstrate enhanced proliferation and differentiation compared to M and TCP surfaces. Surface roughness was quantified using a surface profilometer, and water contact angle was measured to evaluate the hydrophilicity of the surfaces. Cellular function was assessed using quantitative viability and differentiation assays and image analyses, along with qualitative fluorescent (viability and cytoskeletal) imaging and scanning electron microscopy. No differences in surface roughness were observed between groups. Water contact angle indicated LL was the least hydrophilic surface, with RBT and M surfaces exhibiting greater hydrophilicity. Cell proliferation on day 2 was enhanced on both LL and RBT surfaces compared to M, and all three groups had higher cell numbers on day 2 compared to day 1. Cell orientation was driven by the geometry of the surface modification, as cells were more highly aligned on LL surfaces compared to TCP (on day 2) and RBT (on day 3). At day 21, cell proliferation was greater on LL, RBT, and TCP surfaces compared to M, though no differences in osteogenic differentiation were observed. Collectively, our results highlight the efficacy of laser microgrooved and resorbable blast textured surface modifications of Ti64 for enhancing cellular functions, which may facilitate improved osseointegration of dental implants.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising strategy to overcome the limitations of current treatments for bone-related disorders, but the trade-off between mechanical properties and bioactivity remains a concern for many polymeric materials. To address this need, novel polymeric blends of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) have been explored. Blend filaments comprising PLLA/PCL/PHBV at a ratio of 90/5/5 wt% have been prepared using twin-screw extrusion. The PLLA/PCL/PHBV blends were enriched with nano-hydroxyapatite (nano-HA) and strontium-substituted nano-HA (Sr-nano-HA) to produce composite filaments. Three-dimensional scaffolds were printed by fused deposition modelling from PLLA/PCL/PHBV blend and composite filaments and evaluated mechanically and biologically for their capacity to support bone formation in vitro. The composite scaffolds had a mean porosity of 40%, mean pores of 800 µm, and an average compressive modulus of 32 MPa. Polymer blend and enriched scaffolds supported cell attachment and proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium production were significantly higher in composite scaffolds compared to the blends. These findings demonstrate that thermoplastic polyesters (PLLA and PCL) can be combined with polymers produced via a bacterial route (PHBV) to produce polymer blends with excellent biocompatibility, providing additional options for polymer blend optimization. The enrichment of the blend with nano-HA and Sr-nano-HA powders enhanced the osteogenic potential in vitro.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising candidate for bone repair. However, the maintenance of MSCs injected into the bone injury site remains inefficient. A potential approach is to develop a bone-liked platform that incorporates MSCs into a biocompatible 3D scaffold to facilitate bone grafting into the desired location. Bone tissue engineering is a multistep process that requires optimizing several variables, including the source of cells, osteogenic stimulation factors, and scaffold properties. This study aims to evaluate the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation potentials of MSCs cultured on 2 types of 3D-printed hydroxyapatite, including a 3D-printed HA and biomimetic calcium phosphate-coated 3D-printed HA. MSCs from bone marrow (BM-MSCs) and umbilical cord (UC-MSCs) were cultured on the 3D-printed HA and coated 3D-printed HA. Scanning electron microscopy and immunofluorescence staining were used to examine the characteristics and the attachment of MSCs to the scaffolds. Additionally, the cell proliferation was monitored, and the ability of cells to differentiate into osteoblast was assessed using alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and osteogenic gene expression. The BM-MSCs and UC-MSCs attached to a plastic culture plate with a spindle-shaped morphology exhibited an immunophenotype consistent with the characteristics of MSCs. Both MSC types could attach and survive on the 3D-printed HA and coated 3D-printed HA scaffolds. The MSCs cultured on these scaffolds displayed sufficient osteoblastic differentiation capacity, as evidenced by increased ALP activity and the expression of osteogenic genes and proteins compared to the control. Interestingly, MSCs grown on coated 3D-printed HA exhibited a higher ALP activity and osteogenic gene expression than those cultured on the 3D-printed HA. The finding indicated that BM-MSCs and UC-MSCs cultured on the 3D-printed HA and coated 3D-printed HA scaffolds could proliferate and differentiate into osteoblasts. Thus, the HA scaffolds could provide a suitable and favorable environment for the 3D culture of MSCs in bone tissue engineering. Additionally, biomimetic coating with octacalcium phosphate may improve the biocompatibility of the bone regeneration scaffold.

Abstract
Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and PLLA/poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC) scaffolds characterised by different PLLA:PTMC mass ratios (10:0, 9:1, 8:2, 7:3, 6:4 and 5:5) were prepared via electrospinning. The results showed that increasing the PTMC content in the spinning solution caused the following effects: (1) the diameter of the prepared PLLA/PTMC electrospun fibres gradually increased from 188.12 ± 48.87 nm (10:0) to 584.01 ± 60.68 nm (5:5), (2) electrospun fibres with uniform diameters and no beads could be prepared at the PTMC contents of >30%, (3) the elastic modulus of the fibre initially increased and then decreased, reaching a maximum value of 74.49 ± 8.22 Mpa (5:5) and (4) the elongation at the breaking point of the fibres increased gradually from 24.71% to 344.85%. Compared with the PLLA electrospun fibrous membrane, the prepared PLLA/PTMC electrospun fibrous membrane exhibited considerably improved mechanical properties while maintaining good histocompatibility.

Abstract
The challenge of effectively regenerating bone tissue through tissue engineering technology is that most tissue engineering scaffolds cannot imitate the three-dimensional structure and function of the natural extracellular matrix. Herein, we have prepared the poly(L-lactic acid)–based dual bioactive component reinforced nanofiber mats which were named as poly(L-lactic acid)/bovine serum albumin/nanohydroxyapatite (PLLA/BSA/nHAp) with dual bioactive components by combining homogeneous blending and electrospinning technology. The results showed that these nanofiber mats had sufficient mechanical properties and a porous structure suitable for cell growth and migration. Furthermore, the results of cell experiments in vitro showed that PLLA/BSA/nHAp composite nanofiber mat could preferably stimulate the proliferation of mouse osteoblastic cells (MC3T3 cells) compared with pure PLLA nanofiber mats. Based on these results, the scaffolds developed in this study are considered to have a great potential to be adhibited as bone repair materials.

Ann Biomed Eng 2021; 49:2006-2029. [PMID: 34378121 DOI: 10.1007/s10439-021-02810-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2021] [Accepted: 06/03/2021] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
The most common forms of tissue impairment are fracture bones and significant bone disorders caused by multiple traumas or normal aging. Surgical care sometimes necessitates the placement of a temporary or permanent prosthesis, which continues to be a challenge for orthopedic surgeons, including those with large bone defects. Electrospun scaffolds made from natural and synthetic nanofiber-based polymers are studied as natural extracellular matrix (ECM)-like scaffolds for tissue engineering. Besides, nanostructured materials have properties and functions depending on the scale of natural materials such as hydroxyapatite (HAP), ranging from 1 to 100 nm, which activity was proficient upon enrolled in nanofiber mats. The use of nanofibers in combination with nano-HAP has increased the scaffold's ability to replicate the construction of natural bone tissue that is the aim of the present text. In bone engineering, nanofiber substrates facilitate cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, while HAP induces cells to secrete ECM for bone mineralization and development. This review aims to draw the reader's attention to the critical issues with synthetic and natural polymers containing HAP in bone tissue engineering; co-substituted hydroxyapatite has also been mentioned.

Abstract
In this study, nanofibrous matrices of poly(L-lactic acid)-hydroxyapatite (PLLA-HAp) were successfully fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) electrospinning for use in the treatment of irregular bone damages. Compressibility analysis showed that 3D nanofibrous grafts occupied at least 2-fold more volume than their 2D form and they can easily take shape of the defect zone with irregular geometry. Moreover, the compression moduli of the PLLA and PLLA-HAp grafts were calculated as 8.0 ± 3.0 kPa and 11.8 ± 3.9 kPa, respectively, while the strain values of the same samples at the maximum load of 600 kPa were 164 ± 28% and 130 ± 20%, respectively. Treatment of the grafts with aqueous sodium hydroxide solution increased the surface roughness and thus the alloplastic graft materials (PLLA-HAp/M) protecting the fiber morphology were produced successfully. Then, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was loaded into the surface modified grafts and activated with 10% calcium chloride. The efficiency of the activation was evaluated with flow cytometry and it was found that after activation the percentages of CD62 (P-selectin) and CD41/61 (glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) proteins increased approximately 4-fold. Surface hydrophilicity and biological activity of the PLLA-HAp grafts were enhanced by fibrin coating after PRP activation. Thein vitrocell culture studies which were carried out by using mouse pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) showed that graft materials supported by PRP increased cellular proliferation and osteogenic differentiation significantly. Thein vivoresults demonstrated that compared with bare PLLA-HAp/M grafts, the PRP loaded grafts (PRP-PLLA-HAp/M) induced significantly greater bone formation based on computed tomography, histological and immunohistochemical analyses. Our findings suggest that 3D PLLA nanofibrous matrices can be used as a graft material for irregular bone defects especially when combined with PRP as an osteogenic induction agent.

Abstract
There is a great need for tissue engineering constructs with the ability to modulate stem cell behavior. The initial adhesion, growth and differentiation of stem cell are a key strategy in bone tissue engineering and it can be controlled through biomaterial-cell interface. Here we engineered a polycaprolactone/gelatin/bioactive glass (PCL/GT/BG) nanocomposite scaffold coated with Fibronectin (FN) as a potential candidate to aid the bone regeneration process by giving cells a temporary template to grow into. For this purpose, initially BG nanoparticles (nBG) of 70 ± 15 nm were synthesized, characterized and then impregnated into PCL/GT matrix to create a nanocomposite fibrous mesh. An optimized structure was selected based on fiber uniformity, diameter, and the mechanical properties. Cell adhesion, growth, and the expression of osteogenic-related genes as a result of FN tethering, through specific surface interactions, was evaluated. Furthermore, the potential of optimized nanofiberous structure as a drug delivery vehicle for the local release of therapeutic agents was studied by using amoxicillin as a model drug. The release profile revealed that around 70% of drug was released in an hour for non-crosslinked fibers (burst release) followed by a gradual release up to 72 h. The release profile was steadier for crosslinked fibers. The scaffold also showed an antibacterial effect against ubiquitous gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus. The current study provides an insight for future researchers who aim to create nanocomposite materials as multifunctional scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
In the present study, we developed a novel niosomal nanocarrier embedded into a collagen/β- tricalcium phosphate (Col/β-TCP) scaffold for the local delivery of thymol as a natural anti-bacterial reagent. The niosomal Col/β-TCP (N-Col/β-TCP) scaffolds with different weight ratios of β-TCP to Col were prepared by freeze-drying. The antimicrobial activities of the prepared samples against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus were assessed by agar diffusion method. The release profile of niosomal thymol from the optimized composite scaffolds showed a sustained profile where 66% of the loaded thymol was released over 30 days. The compressive modulus of niosome added scaffolds with an equal ratio of β-TCP and Col was calculated as 972±1.3KPa. This scaffold showed significantly higher values of cell viability (as evaluated by an MTT assay) against L929 fibroblasts than a scaffold without niosomal thymol after 24 and 72 h. Among synthesized samples, Col/β-TCP1 showed the greatest effectiveness of anti-bacterial activity toward Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria with higher activity against Gram-positive ones. The results of this study highlight the potential of niosomal-thymol loaded Col/β-TCP1 scaffold as an anti-bacterial bone substitute for possible osteomyelitis treatment.

Abstract
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) can endow a biopolymer scaffold with good bioactivity and osteoconductive ability, while the interfacial bonding is fairly weak between HAP and biopolymers. In this study, HAP was in situ generated on poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) particles, and then they were used to fabricate a scaffold by selective laser sintering. Detailedly, PLLA particles were first functionalized by dopamine oxide polymerization, which introduced abundance active catechol groups on the particle surface, and subsequently, the catechol groups concentrated Ca2+ ions by chelation in a simulated body fluid solution, and then, Ca2+ ions absorbed PO43- ions through electrostatic interactions for in situ nucleation of HAP. The results indicated that HAP was homogeneously generated on the PLLA particle surface, and HAP and PLLA exhibited good interfacial bonding in the HAP/PLLA scaffolds. Meanwhile, the scaffolds displayed excellent bioactivity by inducing apatite precipitation and provided a good environment for human bone mesenchymal stem cell attachment, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. More importantly, the ingrowth of blood vessel and the formation of new bone could be stimulated by the scaffolds in vivo, and the bone volume fraction and bone mineral density increased by 44.44 and 41.73% compared with the pure PLLA scaffolds, respectively. Serum biochemical indexes fell within the normal range, which indicated that there was no harmful effect on the normal functioning of the body after implanting the scaffold.

Stent coating by electrospinning with chitosan/poly-cyclodextrin based nanofibers loaded with simvastatin for restenosis prevention. Eur J Pharm Biopharm 2020; 150:156-167.

Abstract
The main cause of failure of angioplasty stenting is restenosis due to neointimal hyperplasia, a too high proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC). The local and sustained delivery of selective pleiotropic drugs to limit SMC proliferation seems to be the hopeful solution to minimize this post surgery complication. The aim of this study is to develop a stent covered by nanofibers (NFs) produced by electrospinning, loaded with simvastatin (SV), a drug commonly used for restenosis prevention. NFs were prepared from the electrospinning of a solution containing SV and a mixture of chitosan (cationic) and β-cyclodextrin (CD) polymer (anionic) which form together a polyelectrolyte complex that makes up the NFs matrix. First, the SV/CD interactions were studied by phase solubility diagram, DRX and DSC. The electrospinning process was then optimized to cover a self-expandable NiTiNOL stent and the mechanical resistance of the NFs sheath upon its introduction inside the delivery catheter was considered, using a crimper apparatus. The morphology, coating thicknesses and diameters of nanofibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy. The SV loading rates on the stents were controlled by the electrospinning time, and the presence of SV in the NFs was confirmed by FTIR. NFs stability in PBS pH 7.4 buffer could be improved after thermal post-treatment of NFs and in vitro release of SV in dynamic conditions demonstrated that the release profiles were influenced by the presence of CD polymer in NFs and by the thickness of the NFs sheath. Finally, a covered stent delivering 3 µg/mm2 of SV within 6 h was obtained, whose efficiency will be investigated in a further in vivo study.

Abstract
Significant advances have been made in the field of tissue engineering (TE), especially in the synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for replacing damaged tissues and organs in laboratory conditions. However, the gaps in knowledge in exploiting these techniques in preclinical trials and beyond and, in particular, in practical scenarios (e.g., replacing real body organs) have not been discussed well in the existing literature. Furthermore, it is observed in the literature that while new techniques for the synthesis of 3D TE scaffold have been developed, some of the earlier techniques are still being used. This implies that the advantages offered by a more recent and advanced technique as compared to the earlier ones are not obvious, and these should be discussed in detail. For example, one needs to be aware of the reason, if any, behind the superiority of traditional electrospinning technique over recent advances in 3D printing technique for the production of 3D scaffolds given the popularity of the former over the latter, indicated by the number of publications in the respective areas. Keeping these points in mind, this review aims to demonstrate the ongoing trend in TE based on the scaffold fabrication techniques, focusing mostly, on the two most widely used techniques, namely, electrospinning and 3D printing, with a special emphasis on preclinical trials and beyond. In this context, the advantages, disadvantages, flexibilities and limitations of the relevant techniques (electrospinner and 3D printer) are discussed. The paper also critically analyzes the applicability, restrictions, and future demands of these techniques in TE including their applications in generating whole body organs. It is concluded that combining these knowledge gaps with the existing body of knowledge on the preparation of laboratory scale 3D scaffolds, would deliver a much better understanding in the future for scientists who are interested in these techniques.

Abstract
Worldwide research on electrospinning enabled it as a versatile technique for producing nanofibers with specified physio-chemical characteristics suitable for diverse biomedical applications. In the case of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, the nanofiber scaffolds' characteristics are custom designed based on the cells and tissues specific needs. This fabrication technique is also innovated for the production of nanofibers with special micro-structure and secondary structure characteristics such as porous fibers, hollow structure, and core- sheath structure. This review attempts to critically and succinctly capture the vast number of developments reported in the literature over the past two decades. We then discuss their applications as scaffolds for induction of cells growth and differentiation or as architecture for being used as graft for tissue engineering. The special nanofibers designed for improving regeneration of several tissues including heart, bone, central nerve system, spinal cord, skin and ocular tissue are introduced. We also discuss the potential of the electrospinning in drug delivery applications, which is a critical factor for cell culture, tissue formation and wound healing applications.

Abstract
Scaffolds based on aligned and non-aligned poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/polycaprolactone (PCL) fibers obtained by electrospinning, associated to electrosprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) for tissue engineering applications were developed and their performance was compared in terms of their morphology and biological and mechanical behaviors. The morphological results assessed by scanning electron microscopy showed a mesh of PLLA/PCL fibers (random and perfectly aligned) associated with aggregates of nanophased HA. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry confirmed the homogeneity in the blends and the presence of nanoHA in the scaffold. As a result of fiber alignment a 15-fold increase in Young's Modulus and an 8-fold increase in tensile strength were observed when compared to non-aligned fibers. In PLLA/PCL/HA scaffolds, the introduction of nanoHA caused a remarkable improvement of the mechanical strength of this material acting as a reinforcement, enhancing the response of these constructs to tensile stress. In vitro testing was evaluated using osteoblast (MC3T3-E1) cells. The results showed that both fibrous scaffolds were able to support osteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation and that fiber alignment induced increased cellular metabolic activity. In addition, the adhesion and proliferation of Staphylococcus aureus were evaluated and a lower number of colony forming units (CFUs) was obtained in the scaffolds with aligned fibers.

Abstract
Poly(Ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) is a biocompatible polymer with a high potential to be used in tissue engineering especially in tight tissues. In the current study, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is used as a promising method for immobilization of gelatin as a functional biomacromolecule on PCL nanofibrous substrates. The CAP surface modification leads to oxidation of chemical groups existing on the PCL surface without doing any damage to the bulk properties of biomaterials for gelatin biomacromolecule grafting. The water contact angle (WCA) of the CAP-treated surface and gelatin-grafted PCL using CAP indicates an effective increment in the hydrophilicity of the PCL surface. Also to achieve the highest levels of gelatin grafting on the PCL surface, two different grafting methods and gelatin concentration diversity are utilized in the grafting process. The immobilization of gelatin biomacromolecules onto the CAP surface-modified PCL nanofibers is investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The gelatin-modified PCL substrates revealed uniform nanofibrous morphology with increased average fiber diameter. The results of FTIR spectra, including hydroxyl groups, NH groups, and amide II of gelatin-grafting peaks, confirm the gelatin immobilization on the surface of nanofibers. The metabolic activity of cultured mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the surface-modified scaffolds is evaluated using MTT analysis (P ≤ 0.05). The results of metabolic activity and also SEM and DAPI staining observations indicate proper attachment on the surface and viability for MSCs on the surface-immobilized nanofibrous scaffolds. Therefore, CAP treatment would be an effective method for biomacromolecule immobilization on nanofibers towards the enhancement of cell behavior.

Abstract
It is highly desirable for bone tissue engineering scaffolds to have significant osteogenic properties and capability to improve cell growth and thus enhance bone regeneration. In this study, a poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) nanofiber scaffold-immobilized osteogenic growth peptide (OGP) was prepared via polydopamine (PDA) coating. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), contact angle measurement, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the OGP immobilization, hydrophilicity and surface roughness of the samples. The SEM and fluorescence images demonstrate that the PLLA nanofiber scaffolds immobilized with the OGP have excellent cytocompatibility in terms of cell adhesion and proliferation. The ALP activity and the Runx2 and OPN expression results indicated that the PLLA nanofiber scaffolds immobilized with OGP significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation and calcium mineralization of hMSCs in vitro. A rat model of critical skull bone defect was selected to evaluate the bone formation capacity of the scaffolds. Micro CT analysis and histological results demonstrated that the PLLA scaffolds immobilized with OGP significantly promoted bone regeneration in critical-sized bone defects. This study verifies that the PLLA scaffold-immobilized OGP has significant potential in bone tissue engineering. Polydopamine-modified PLLA nanofiber scaffolds immobilized with osteogenic growth peptide were designed and prepared for promoting bone formation.![]()

New approach to modification of poly (l-lactic acid) with nano-hydroxyapatite improving functionality of human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) through increased viability and enhanced mitochondrial activity. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2018; 98:213-226. [PMID: 30813022 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2018.12.099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2018] [Revised: 11/29/2018] [Accepted: 12/25/2018] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the cytocompatibility of poly (l-lactide) (PLLA) scaffolds fabricated using co-rotating twin screw extrusion technique and functionalized with different concentrations of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp). The efforts were aimed on the designing bioactive scaffolds improving the viability and metabolic activity of human adipose-derived multipotent stromal cells (hASCs). The in vitro study was designed to determine the optimal nHAp concentration, based on analysis of hASCs morphology, adhesion rate, as well as metabolic and proliferative potential. Initially, the PLLA filled with three different concentrations of the nHAp were tested i.e. 5%, 10% and 15 wt%. The obtained results indicated that the 10 wt% nHAp in the PLLA (10% nHAp/PLLA) matrices improved the adhesion and proliferation of the hASCs, what was in good agreement with the results of tensile properties of the composites. Further, we performed profound studies regarding the cytotoxicity of 10% nHAp/PLLA. The analysis included the evaluation of the biomaterial influence on viability, apoptosis-related markers expression profile and mitochondrial function. The cytocompatibility of 10% nHAp/PLLA scaffolds toward the hASCs was confirmed. The hASCs propagated on 10% nHAp/PLLA were more viable then those propagated on the plain PLLA. The level of pro-apoptotic markers, i.e. caspase-3 and Bax in cultures on 10% nHAp/PLLA was significantly decreased. Obtained results correlated with higher mitochondrial membrane potential of hASCs in those cultures. The obtained composites may improve therapeutic potential of hASCs via directing their adhesion, enhancing proliferation and viability as well as increasing mitochondrial potential, thus may find potential application in tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the recent years, a paradigm shift is taking place where metallic/synthetic implants and tissue grafts are being replaced by tissue engineering approach. A well designed three-dimensional scaffold is one of the fundamental tools to guide tissue formation in vitro and in vivo. Bone is a highly dynamic and an integrative tissue, and thus enormous efforts have been invested in bone tissue engineering to design a highly porous scaffold which plays a critical role in guiding bone growth and regeneration. Numerous techniques have been developed to fabricate highly interconnected, porous scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications with the help of biomolecules such as chitosan, collagen, gelatin, silk, etc. We aim, in this review, to provide an overview of different types of fabrication techniques for scaffold preparation in bone tissue engineering using biological macromolecules.

Abstract
Human body motion can generate a biological electric field and a current, creating a voltage gradient of -10 to -90 mV across cell membranes. In turn, this gradient triggers cells to transmit signals that alter cell proliferation and differentiation. Several cell types, counting osteoblasts, neurons and cardiomyocytes, are relatively sensitive to electrical signal stimulation. Employment of electrical signals in modulating cell proliferation and differentiation inspires us to use the electroactive polymers to achieve electrical stimulation for repairing impaired tissues. Electroactive polymers have found numerous applications in biomedicine due to their capability in effectively delivering electrical signals to the seeded cells, such as biosensing, tissue regeneration, drug delivery, and biomedical implants. Here we will summarize the electrical characteristics of electroactive polymers, which enables them to electrically influence cellular function and behavior, including conducting polymers, piezoelectric polymers, and polyelectrolyte gels. We will also discuss the biological response to these electroactive polymers under electrical stimulation. In particular, we focus this review on their applications in regenerating different tissues, including bone, nerve, heart muscle, cartilage and skin. Additionally, we discuss the challenges in tissue regeneration applications of electroactive polymers. We conclude that electroactive polymers have a great potential as regenerative biomaterials, due to their ability to stimulate desirable outcomes in various electrically responsive cells.

Abstract
The development of an artificial bone graft which can promote the regeneration of fractures or diseased bones is currently the most challenging aspect in bone tissue engineering. To achieve the purpose of promoting bone proliferation and differentiation, the artificial graft needs have a similar structure and composition of extracellular matrix. One-step electrospinning method of biocomposite nanofibers containing hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles and collagen (Coll) were developed for potential application in bone tissue engineering. Nanocomposite scaffolds of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), PLLA/HA, PLLA/Coll, and PLLA/Coll/HA were fabricated by electrospinning. The morphology, diameter, elements, hydrophilicity, and biodegradability of the composite scaffolds have been investigated. The biocompatibility of different nanocomposite scaffolds was assessed using mouse osteoblasts MC3T3-E1 in vitro, and the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of cells on different nanofibrous scaffolds were investigated. The results showed that PLLA/Coll/HA nanofiber scaffolds enhanced cell adhesion, spreading, proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, and gene expression of osteogenic markers compared to other scaffolds. In addition, the nanofibrous scaffolds maintained a stable composition at the beginning of the degradation period and morphology wastage and weight loss were observed when incubated for up to 80 days in physiological simulated conditions. The PLLA/Coll/HA composite nanofibrous scaffolds could be a potential material for guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) nano fibrous scaffolds prepared by electrospinning technology have been used widely in tissue engineering applications. However, PLLA scaffolds are hydrophobic in nature, moreover the fibrous porous structure produced by electrospinning makes the scaffolds even more hydrophobic which generally limits cell attachment and proliferation. Polymer blending is one of the several efforts used so far to enhance hydrophilicity and recognized as an easy cost-effective approach for the manipulation physiochemical properties of polymeric biomaterials. Pluronic block copolymers containing hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blocks and hydrophobic poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) blocks are arranged in triblock structure: PEO-PPO-PEO. It is commonly used recently to blend hydrophobic polymers to enhance hydrophilicity for pharmaceutical and tissue engineering applications. In this study, novel pluronic P123 blend PLLA electrospun nanofibre scaffolds with improved hydrophilicity and biological properties were fabricated. The surface morphology and surface chemistry of the nanofibre scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and FTIR analyses. Surface hydrophilicity and change in mechanical properties were studied. The ability of the scaffolds to support the attachment, and proliferation and differentiation of human adipose tissue derived MSCs, were evaluated generally. The fabricated scaffolds have completely improved, hydrophilicity, similar osteogenic differentiation potential with plasma-treated PLLA nanofibre scaffold, and hence P123 blend PLLA electrospun nanofibre scaffolds are a very good and cost effective choice as a scaffold for bone tissue engineering application.

Abstract
Electrospinning has been widely used as a nanofiber fabrication technique. Its simple process, cost effectiveness and versatility have appealed to materials scientists globally. Pristine polymeric nanofibers or composite nanofibers with dissimilar morphologies and multidimensional assemblies ranging from one dimension (1D) to three dimensions (3D) can be obtained from electrospinning. Critically, these as-prepared nanofibers possessing high surface area to volume ratio, tunable porosity and facile surface functionalization present numerous possibilities for applications, particularly in biomedical field. This review gives us an overview of some recent advances of electrospinning-based nanomaterials in biomedical applications such as antibacterial mats, patches for rapid hemostasis, wound dressings, drug delivery systems, as well as tissue engineering. We further highlight the current challenges and future perspectives of electrospinning-based nanomaterials in the field of biomedicine.
