Abstract
With the increasing environmental and health consequences of uncontrolled plastic use, the scientific community is progressively gravitating toward biodegradable and ecofriendly packaging alternatives. Seaweed polysaccharides have attracted attention recently because of their biodegradability, nontoxicity, antioxidant properties, and superior film-forming ability. However, it has some limitations for packaging applications, such as low tensile strength, water solubility, and only modest antimicrobial properties. The incorporation of biopolymers, nanoparticles, or organic active ingredients enhances these characteristics. This review encapsulates the contemporary research landscape pivoting around the role of seaweed polysaccharides in the development of bioplastics, active packaging solutions, edible films, and protective coatings. A meticulous collation of existing literature dissects the myriad food application avenues for these marine biopolymers, emphasizing their multifaceted physical, mechanical, thermal, and functional attributes, including antimicrobial and antioxidant. A key facet of this review spotlights environmental ramifications by focusing on their biodegradability, reinforcing their potential as a beacon of sustainable innovation. This article delves into the prevalent challenges that stymie large-scale adoption and commercialization of seaweed-centric packaging, offering a comprehensive perspective on this burgeoning domain.

Biological evaluation and osteogenic potential of polyhydroxybutyrate-keratin/Al 2O 3 electrospun nanocomposite scaffold: A novel bone regeneration construct. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124602. [PMID: 37141963 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the effect of alumina nanowire on the physical and biological properties of polyhydroxybutyrate-keratin (PHB-K) electrospun scaffold was investigated. First, PHB-K/alumina nanowire nanocomposite scaffolds were made with an optimal concentration of 3 wt% alumina nanowire by using the electrospinning method. The samples were examined in terms of morphology, porosity, tensile strength, contact angle, biodegradability, bioactivity, cell viability, ALP activity, mineralization ability, and gene expression. The nanocomposite scaffold provided a porosity of >80 % and a tensile strength of about 6.72 Mpa, which were noticeable for an electrospun scaffold. AFM images showed an increase in the surface roughness with the presence of alumina nanowires. This led to an improvement in the degradation rate and bioactivity of PHB-K/alumina nanowire scaffolds. The viability of mesenchymal cells, alkaline phosphatase secretion, and mineralization significantly increased with the presence of alumina nanowire compared to PHB and PHB-K scaffolds. In addition, the expression level of collagen I, osteocalcin, and RUNX2 genes in nanocomposite scaffolds increased significantly compared to other groups. In general, this nanocomposite scaffold could be a novel and interesting construct for osteogenic induction in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biodegradable polymer obtained from microorganisms and plants, have been widely used in biomedical applications and devices, such as sutures, cardiac valves, bone scaffold, and drug delivery of compounds with pharmaceutical interests, as well as in food packaging. This review focuses on the use of polyhydroxyalkanoates beyond the most common uses, aiming to inform about the potential uses of the biopolymer as a biosensor, cosmetics, drug delivery, flame retardancy, and electrospinning, among other interesting uses. The novel applications are based on the production and composition of the polymer, which can be modified by genetic engineering, a semi-synthetic approach, by changing feeding carbon sources and/or supplement addition, among others. The future of PHA is promising, and despite its production costs being higher than petroleum-based plastics, tools given by synthetic biology, bioinformatics, and machine learning, among others, have allowed for great production yields, monomer and polymer functionalization, stability, and versatility, a key feature to increase the uses of this interesting family of polymers.

Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) aerogel monoliths were prepared via nonsolvent induced phase separation and then sequentially immersed in ethanol and sodium alginate (ALG) solutions. The resulting composite aerogels contained up to a 52 wt% fraction ALG, causing a remarkable increase in their compressive modulus and collapse strength from 0.3 MPa and 33 kPa to 4 MPa and 406 kPa, respectively, i.e., by 13/12 times. An increase in the ALG contents in the composite aerogels allowed them to effectively adsorb both water and soybean oil, according to pseudo-second-order adsorption kinetics. The highly porous composite aerogel acted as an efficient floating adsorbent for a cationic dye (i.e., methylene blue (MB)) in water. MB adsorption was found to be strongly dependent on ALG contents in the adsorbent, as well as operating parameters such as the initial concentration, pH, and temperature of MB solutions. MB adsorption is best described by the Langmuir isotherm and follows pseudo-second-order kinetics. Ca2+-crosslinking of ALG further increased compressive strength but significantly decreased MB adsorption capability following pseudo-first-order kinetics, implying a slow internal diffusion step for MB adsorption due to its tightened network structure relative to noncrosslinked adsorbents.

Abstract
Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is a valuable bio-based and biodegradable polymer that may substitute common polymers in packaging and biomedical applications provided that the production cost is reduced and some properties improved. Blending PHB with other biodegradable polymers is the most simple and accessible route to reduce costs and to improve properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview on the preparation, properties and application of the PHB blends with other biodegradable polyesters such as medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates, poly(ε-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid), poly(butylene succinate), poly(propylene carbonate) and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) or polysaccharides and their derivatives. A special attention has been paid to the miscibility of PHB with these polymers and the compatibilizing methods used to improve the dispersion and interface. The changes in the PHB morphology, thermal, mechanical and barrier properties induced by the second polymer have been critically analyzed in view of industrial application. The biodegradability and recyclability strategies of the PHB blends were summarized along with the processing techniques adapted to the intended application. This review provides the tools for a better understanding of the relation between the micro/nanostructure of PHB blends and their properties for the further development of PHB blends as solutions for biodegradable packaging.

Abstract
Skin tissue engineering is an advanced method to repair and regenerate skin injuries. Recent research is focused on the development of scaffolds that are safe, bioactive, and cytocompatible. In this work, a new hybrid nanofibrous scaffold composed of polycaprolactone/chitosan-polyethylene oxide (PCL/Cs-PEO) incorporated with Arnebia euchroma (A. euchroma) extract were synthesized by the two-nozzle electrospinning method. Then the synthesized scaffold was characterized for morphology, sustainability, chemical structure and properties. Moreover, to verify their potential in the burn wound healing process, biodegradation rate, contact angle, swelling properties, water vapor permeability, mechanical properties, antibacterial activity and drug release profile were measured. Furthermore, cytotoxicity and biocompatibility tests were performed on human dermal fibroblasts cell line via XTT and LDH assay. It is shown that the scaffold improved and increased proliferation during in-vitro studies. Thus, results confirm the efficacy and potential of the hybrid nanofibrous scaffold for skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
Food contact materials (FCMs) are materials that come in contact with food products such as food packaging which play a significant role in the food quality and safety. Plastic, which is a major food packaging material, harms the eco-system, wildlife, and the environment. As a result, numerous researches have been in progress on alternative polymers, which has similar properties as plastic but is also environmentally friendly (biodegradable). In recent years, the utilization of seaweed polysaccharides has piqued interest due to its biodegradability, non-toxicity, antioxidant capabilities, and excellent film formation ability. However, it has a number of drawbacks such as low tensile strength, water solubility, and moderate antibacterial characteristics, among others. The addition of other biopolymers, nanoparticles, or natural active agents improves these features. In this review article, we have summarized the current state of seaweed polysaccharide research in active packaging, intelligent packaging, edible films, and coatings. It also highlights the physical, thermal, antioxidant, and other properties of these materials. Finally, the article discusses the relevant legislation as well as the field’s future prospects. Research shows that seaweeds polysaccharide looks promising as a sustainable food contact material, but there is always a potential for development to make it market feasible.

Abstract
The use of non-invasive scaffold materials which can mimic the innate piezoelectric properties of biological tissues is a promising strategy to promote native tissue regeneration. Piezoelectric and cell instructive electrospun core-shell PDX/PHBV mats have been engineered to promote native tissue and skin regeneration. In depth physicochemical characterisation, in vitro and in vivo studies of a rat model showed that the 20/80 PDX/PHBV composition possessed the right balance of physicochemical and piezoelectric properties leading to enhanced fibroblast stimulation, proliferation and migration, reduced fibroblast-mediated contraction and macrophage-induced inflammation, improved keratinocyte proliferation, proper balance between endothelial cell phenotypes, decreased in vivo fibrosis and accelerated in vivo scarless wound regeneration. Overall, this study highlights the importance of exploiting cell-material interactions to match tissue biological needs to sustain the wound healing cascade.

Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) is a natural polymer, produced by different bacteria, with good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Cardiovascular patches, scaffolds in tissue engineering and drug carriers are some of the possible biomedical applications of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate). In the past decade, many researchers examined the different physico-chemical modifications of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) in order to improve its properties for use in the field of bone tissue engineering. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) composites with hydroxyapatite and bioglass are intensively tested with animal and human osteoblasts in vitro to provide information about their biocompatibility, biodegradability and osteoinductivity. Good bone regeneration was proven when poly(3-hydroxy-butyrate) patches were implanted in vivo in bone tissue of cats, minipigs and rats. This review summarizes the recent reports of in vitro and in vivo studies of pure poly(3-hydroxy-butyrate) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) composites with the emphasis on their bioactivity and biocompatibility with bone cells.

Abstract
![]()
The
viability and differentiation of SaOS-2 preosteoblasts on fiber
mats of blends comprising of the biodegradable poly(ester-ether) polydioxanone
(PDX) and the sulfate-containing anionic polysaccharides kappa-carrageenan
(KCG) and fucoidan (FUC) were investigated for a range of different
blend compositions. The detailed analysis of the blend nanofiber properties
revealed a different degree of miscibility of PDX and the polysaccharide
leading to a different enrichment at the surface of the blend nanofibers,
which were observed to be stable in phosphate buffer solution (PBS)
for up to 5 weeks. The fibrous mats of PDX/FUC led to the highest
osteogenic differentiation with very good cell viability. The electrospun
blend fibers also supported human-induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells
and iPS cell-derived embryoid bodies with high cell viability, which
underlines the potential of these novel blend fiber systems for optimized
performance in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Fucoidan (Fuc), a natural polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed algae, and gelatin (Gel) were conjugated to form a template for preparation of biomimetic scaffolds for potential applications in bone tissue regeneration. To the Fuc-Gel we then incorporated the peptide sequence MTNYDEAAMAIASLN (MTN) derived from the E-F hand domain, known for its calcium binding properties. To mimic the components of the extracellular matrix of bone tissue, the Fuc-Gel-MTN assemblies were incubated in simulated body fluid (SBF) to induce biomineralization, resulting in the formation of β-tricalcium phosphate, and hydroxyapatite (HAp). The formed Fuc-Gel-MTN-beta-TCP/HAP scaffolds were found to display an average Young's Modulus value of 0.32 GPa (n = 5) with an average surface roughness of 91 nm. Rheological studies show that the biomineralized scaffold exhibited higher storage and loss modulus compared to the composites formed before biomineralization. Thermal phase changes were studied through DSC and TGA analysis. XRD and EDS analyses indicated a biphasic mixture of β-tricalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite and the composition of the scaffold. The scaffold promoted cell proliferation, differentiation and displayed actin stress fibers indicating the formation of cell-scaffold matrices in the presence of MT3C3-E1 mouse preosteoblasts. Osteogenesis and mineralization were found to increase with Fuc-Gel-MTN-beta-TCP/HAP scaffolds. Thus, we have developed a novel scaffold for possible applications in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Novel electrospun materials for bone tissue engineering were obtained by blending biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) or polyhydroxybutyrate valerate (PHBV) with the anionic sulfated polysaccharide κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) in varying ratios. In both systems, the two components phase separated as shown by FTIR, DSC and TGA. According to the contact angle data, κ-CG was localized preferentially at the fiber surface in PHBV/κ-CG blends in contrast to PHB/κ-CG, where the biopolymer was mostly found within the fiber. In contrast to the neat polyester fibers, the blends led to the formation of much smaller apatite crystals (800 nm vs 7 μm). According to the MTT assay, NIH3T3 cells grew in higher density on the blend mats in comparison to neat polyester mats. The osteogenic differentiation potential of the fibers was determined by SaOS-2 cell culture for 2 weeks. Alizarin red-S staining suggested an improved mineralization on the blend fibers. Thus, PHBV/κ-CG fibers resulted in more pronounced bioactive and osteogenic properties, including fast apatite-forming ability and deposition of nanosized apatite crystals.
