Dual Functional Antibacterial-Antioxidant Core/Shell Alginate/Poly(ε-caprolactone) Nanofiber Membrane: A Potential Wound Dressing. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:25124-25134. [PMID: 38882148 PMCID: PMC11170714 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c02510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Core/shell nanofibers offer the advantage of encapsulating multiple drugs with different hydrophilicity in the core and shell, thus allowing for the controlled release of pharmaceutic agents. Specifically, the burst release of hydrophilic drugs from such fiber membranes causes an instantaneous high drug concentration, whereas a long and steady release is usually desired. Herein, we tackle the problem of the initial burst release by the generation of core/shell nanofibers with the hydrophilic antibiotic drug gentamycin loaded within a hydrophilic alginate core surrounded by a hydrophobic shell of poly(ε-caprolactone). Emulsion electrospinning was used as the nanofibrous mesh generation procedure. This process also allows for the loading of a hydrophobic compound, where we selected a natural antioxidant molecule, betulin (BTL), to detoxify the radicals. The resulting nanofibers exhibited a cylindrical shape with a core/shell structure. In vitro tests showed a controlled release of gentamicin from nanofibers via diffusion. The drug reached 93% release in an alginate hydrogel film but only 50% release in the nanofibers, suggesting its potential to minimize the initial burst release. Antibacterial tests revealed significant activity against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The antioxidant property of betulin was confirmed through the DPPH assay, where the incorporation of 20% BTL revealed 37.3% DPPH scavenging. The nanofibers also exhibited favorable biocompatibility in cell culture studies, and no harmful effects on cell viability were observed. Overall, this research offers a promising approach to producing core/shell nanofibrous mats with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, which could effectively address the requirements of wound dressings, including infection prevention and wound healing acceleration.

Abstract
Cancer, namely breast and prostate cancers, is the leading cause of death in many developed countries. Controlled drug delivery systems are key for the development of new cancer treatment strategies, to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy and tackle off-target effects. In here, we developed a biomaterials-based wireless electrostimulation system with the potential for controlled and on-demand release of anti-cancer drugs. The system is composed of curcumin-loaded poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanoparticles (CUR/PEDOT NPs), encapsulated inside coaxial poly(glycerol sebacate)/poly(caprolactone) (PGS/PCL) electrospun fibers. First, we show that the PGS/PCL nanofibers are biodegradable, which allows the delivery of NPs closer to the tumoral region, and have good mechanical properties, allowing the prolonged storage of the PEDOT NPs before their gradual release. Next, we demonstrate PEDOT/CUR nanoparticles can release CUR on-demand (65 % of release after applying a potential of -1.5 V for 180 s). Finally, a wireless electrostimulation platform using this NP/fiber system was set up to promote in vitro human prostate cancer cell death. We found a decrease of 67 % decrease in cancer cell viability. Overall, our results show the developed NP/fiber system has the potential to effectively deliver CUR in a highly controlled way to breast and prostate cancer in vitro models. We also show the potential of using wireless electrostimulation of drug-loaded NPs for cancer treatment, while using safe voltages for the human body. We believe our work is a stepping stone for the design and development of biomaterial-based future smarter and more effective delivery systems for anti-cancer therapy.

Abstract
Volatile active ingredients in biopolymer nanofibers are prone to burst and uncontrolled release. In this study, we used electrospinning and crosslinking to design a new sustained-release active packaging containing zein and eugenol (EU). Vapor-phase glutaraldehyde (GTA) was used as the crosslinker. Characterization of the crosslinked zein nanofibers was conducted via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical properties, water resistance, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. It was observed that crosslinked zein nanofibers did not lose their fiber shape, but the diameter of the fibers increased. By increasing the crosslink time, the mechanical properties and water resistance of the crosslinked zein nanofibers were greatly improved. The FT-IR results demonstrated the formation of chemical bonds between free amino groups in zein molecules and aldehyde groups in GTA molecules. EU was added to the zein nanofibers, and the corresponding release behavior in PBS was investigated using the dialysis membrane method. With an increase in crosslink time, the release rate of EU from crosslinked zein nanofibers decreased. This study demonstrates the potential of crosslinking by GTA vapors on the controlled release of the zein encapsulation structure containing EU. Such sustainable-release nanofibers have promising potential for the design of fortified foods or as active and smart food packaging.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of cross-linking and reinforcements in gelatin on the physico-mechanical properties of obtained composites. The gelatin-based composites cross-linked with citric acid (CA) were prepared: gelatin type B (GB) and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and novel hybrid composite GB with β-TCP and hydroxyapatite (HAp) particles, and their structure, thermal, and mechanical properties were compared with pure gelatin B samples. FTIR analysis revealed that no chemical interaction between the reinforcements and gelatin matrix was established during the processing of hybrid composites by the solution casting method, proving the particles had no influence on GB cross-linking. The morphological investigation of hybrid composites revealed that cross-linking with CA improved the dispersion of particles, which further led to an increase in mechanical performance. The microindentation test showed that the hardness value was increased by up to 449%, which shows the high potential of β-TCP and HAp particle reinforcement combined with CA as a cross-linking agent. Furthermore, the reduced modulus of elasticity was increased by up to 288%. Results of the MTT assay on L929 cells have revealed that the hybrid composite GB-TCP-HA-CA was not cytotoxic. These results showed that GB cross-linked with CA and reinforced with different calcium phosphates presents a valuable novel material with potential applications in dentistry.

Abstract
In this study, electrospun zein/alginate dialdehyde (AD) nanofibers were prepared by green crosslinking. The degree of crosslinking could reach 50.72 %, and the diameter of electrospun fibers ranged from 446.2 to 541.8 nm. The generation of AD and the bonding of crosslinking were further confirmed by the changes on characteristic peaks and conformational ratios in the infrared spectroscopy and secondary structure analysis. High concentrations of AD led to improved thermal stabilities, mechanical properties, and hydrophobicity. And the highly crosslinked nanofibers (Z-8) owned the highest elastic modulus (24.92 MPa), tensile strength (0.28 MPa), and elongation at break (8.14 %) among five samples. Moreover, Z-8 possessed a high swelling ratio of 5.45 g/g, and a low weight loss of 6.09 %. The samples could encapsulate curcumin efficiently and show controllable release behaviors based on different AD addition. And the oxidation resistance of nanofibers gradually improved, consistent with the release performances. This study indicated AD crosslinking favored the preparation and application of zein nanofibers, and the oxidized polysaccharide acted as the green crosslinking agent, which provided reference value for the application of polysaccharides in food-related electrospun materials.

Abstract
In recent years, fiber-based systems have been explored in the frame of tissue engineering due to their robustness in recapitulating the architecture and mechanical properties of native tissues. Such scaffolds offer anisotropic architecture capable of reproducing the native collagen fibers' orientation and distribution. Moreover, fibrous constructs might provide a biomimetic environment for cell encapsulation and proliferation as well as influence their orientation and distribution. In this work, we combine two fiber fabrication techniques, such as electrospinning and wet-spinning, in order to obtain novel cell-laden 3D fibrous layered scaffolds which can simultaneously provide: (i) mechanical support; (ii) suitable microenvironment for 3D cell encapsulation; and (iii) loading and sustained release of growth factors for promoting the differentiation of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hB-MSCs). The constructs are formed from wet-spun hydrogel fibers loaded with hB-MSCs deposited on a fibrous composite electrospun matrix made of polycaprolactone, polyamide 6, and mesoporous silica nanoparticles enriched with bone morphogenetic protein-12 (BMP-12). Morphological and mechanical characterizations of the structures were carried out, and the growth factor release was assessed. The biological response in terms of cell viability, alignment, differentiation, and extracellular matrix production was investigated. Ex vivo testing of the layered structure was performed to prove the layers' integrity when subjected to mechanical stretching in the physiological range. The results reveal that 3D layered scaffolds can be proposed as valid candidates for tendon tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nanofibers (NFs) with practical drug-loading capacities, high stability, and controllable release have caught the attention of investigators due to their potential applications in on-demand drug delivery devices. Developing novel and efficient multidisciplinary management of locoregional cancer treatment through the design of smart NF-based systems integrated with combined chemotherapy and hyperthermia could provide stronger therapeutic advantages. On the other hand, implanting directly at the tumor area is a remarkable benefit of hyperthermia NF-based drug delivery approaches. Hence, implantable smart hyperthermia NFs might be very hopeful for tumor treatment in the future and provide new avenues for developing highly efficient localized drug delivery systems. Indeed, features of the smart NFs lead to the construction of a reversibly flexible nanostructure that enables hyperthermia and facile switchable release of antitumor agents to eradicate cancer cells. Accordingly, this study covers recent updates on applications of implantable smart hyperthermia NFs regarding their current scope and future outlook. This article is categorized under: Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanomaterials and Implants.

Abstract
Multi-layered drug delivery (MLDD) system has promising potential to achieve controlled release. However, existing technologies face difficulties in regulating the number of layers and layer-thickness ratio. In our previous works, layer-multiplying co-extrusion (LMCE) technology was applied to regulate the number of layers. Herein, we utilized layer-multiplying co-extrusion technology to modulate the layer-thickness ratio to expand the application of LMCE technology. Four-layered poly (ε-caprolactone)-metoprolol tartrate/poly (ε-caprolactone)-polyethylene oxide (PCL-MPT/PEO) composites were continuously prepared by LMCE technology, and the layer-thickness ratios for PCL-PEO layer and PCL-MPT layer were set to be 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 just by controlling the screw conveying speed. The in vitro release test indicated that the rate of MPT release increased with decreasing the thickness of the PCL-MPT layer. Additionally, when PCL-MPT/PEO composite was sealed by epoxy resin to eliminate the edge effect, sustained release of MPT was achieved. The compression test confirmed the potential of PCL-MPT/PEO composites as bone scaffolds.

Abstract
To date, GBM remains highly resistant to therapies that have shown promising effects in other cancers. Therefore, the goal is to take down the shield that these tumours are using to protect themselves and proliferate unchecked, regardless of the advent of diverse therapies. To overcome the limitations of conventional therapy, the use of electrospun nanofibres encapsulated with either a drug or gene has been extensively researched. The aim of this intelligent biomaterial is to achieve a timely release of encapsulated therapy to exert the maximal therapeutic effect simultaneously eliminating dose-limiting toxicities and activating the innate immune response to prevent tumour recurrence. This review article is focused on the developing field of electrospinning and aims to describe the different types of electrospinning techniques in biomedical applications. Each technique describes how not all drugs or genes can be electrospun with any method; their physico-chemical properties, site of action, polymer characteristics and the desired drug or gene release rate determine the strategy used. Finally, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives associated with GBM therapy.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has yielded nanostructure-based drug delivery approaches, among which nanofibers have been explored and researched for the potential topical delivery of therapeutics. Nanofibers are filaments or thread-like structures in the nanometer size range that are fabricated using various polymers, such as natural or synthetic polymers or their combination. The size or diameter of the nanofibers depends upon the polymers, the techniques of preparation, and the design specification. The four major processing techniques, phase separation, self-assembly, template synthesis, and electrospinning, are most commonly used for the fabrication of nanofibers. Nanofibers have a unique structure that needs a multimethod approach to study their morphology and characterization parameters. They are gaining attention as drug delivery carriers, and the substantially vast surface area of the skin makes it a potentially promising strategy for topical drug products for various skin disorders such as psoriasis, skin cancers, skin wounds, bacterial and fungal infections, etc. However, the large-scale production of nanofibers with desired properties remains challenging, as the widely used electrospinning processes have certain limitations, such as poor yield, use of high voltage, and difficulty in achieving in situ nanofiber deposition on various substrates. This review highlights the insights into fabrication strategies, applications, recent clinical trials, and patents of nanofibers for different skin disorders in detail. Additionally, it discusses case studies of its effective utilization in the treatment of various skin disorders for a better understanding for readers.

Multilayered Polyurethane/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanofibrous Mats for Local Topotecan Delivery as a Potential Retinoblastoma Treatment. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15051398. [PMID: 37242640 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15051398] [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: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/28/2023] [Indexed: 05/28/2023] Open
Abstract
Local chemotherapy using polymer drug delivery systems has the potential to treat some cancers, including intraocular retinoblastoma, which is difficult to treat with systemically delivered drugs. Well-designed carriers can provide the required drug concentration at the target site over a prolonged time, reduce the overall drug dose needed, and suppress severe side effects. Herein, nanofibrous carriers of the anticancer agent topotecan (TPT) with a multilayered structure composed of a TPT-loaded inner layer of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and outer covering layers of polyurethane (PUR) are proposed. Scanning electron microscopy showed homogeneous incorporation of TPT into the PVA nanofibers. HPLC-FLD proved the good loading efficiency of TPT (≥85%) with a content of the pharmacologically active lactone TPT of more than 97%. In vitro release experiments demonstrated that the PUR cover layers effectively reduced the initial burst release of hydrophilic TPT. In a 3-round experiment with human retinoblastoma cells (Y-79), TPT showed prolonged release from the sandwich-structured nanofibers compared with that from a PVA monolayer, with significantly enhanced cytotoxic effects as a result of an increase in the PUR layer thickness. The presented PUR-PVA/TPT-PUR nanofibers appear to be promising carriers of active TPT lactone that could be useful for local cancer therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this work is to develop a novel nanofiber wound dressing with multiple functional properties that combines suitable mechanical properties, slow and controlled drug release, antifungal activity, and visual drug monitoring to accelerate wound healing while reducing systemic circulation of the drug, achieving reduced dose and side effects, and achieving patient satisfaction and compliance. In this paper, visualized nanofiber films were prepared using electrostatic spinning technology. This nanofiber wound dressing has soft tissue-like mechanical and antifungal properties and is biocompatible. In particular, the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm)/tetraphenylethylene (TPE)/amphotericin B (AMB) nanofiber films showed good performance in terms of antifungal activity and cytocompatibility compared with medical gauze, and significantly accelerated the wound healing process in a mouse total wound defect model with PCL+PVP+TPE+AMB+PNIPAAm. The wound healing rate of nanofibrous membrane group was 100% at 14 days. In addition, histological analysis, collagen deposition and immunohistochemistry showed, for example, fewer inflammatory cells, more fibroblasts around the damaged area, increased wound epithelial atrophy, reduced granulation tissue, connective tissue reconstruction, epithelial tissue formation, and abundant small angiogenesis in the dermis near the epidermis; a higher level of collagen deposition fraction of 49.97%; and a simultaneous reduction in HIF-1α production and upregulated the expression of CD31. In conclusion, this antifungal nanofiber film showed promising applications throughout the skin wound healing process.

Abstract
Syndecans act as independent co-receptors to exert biological activities and their altered function is associated with many pathophysiological conditions. Here, syndecan-1 and -4 were examined in lesional skin of patients with psoriasis. Immunohistochemical staining confirmed altered syndecan-1 distribution and revealed absence of syndecan-4 expression in the epidermis. Fibronectin (FN)—known to influence inflammation and keratinocyte hyperproliferation via α5β1 integrin in psoriasis—was also decreased. Syndecan-1 and -4 expression was analyzed in freshly isolated lesional psoriatic human keratinocytes (PHK) characterized based on their proliferation and differentiation properties. mRNA levels of syndecan-1 were similar between healthy and PHK, while syndecan-4 was significantly decreased. Cell growth and release of the pro-inflammatory Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNFα) were selectively and significantly induced in PHKs plated on FN. Results from co-culture of healthy keratinocytes and psoriatic fibroblasts led to the speculation that at least one factor released by fibroblasts down-regulate syndecan-1 expression in PHK plated on FN. To assay if biological treatments for psoriasis target keratinocyte proliferation, gelatin-based patches enriched with inteleukin (IL)-17α or TNFα blockers were prepared and tested using a full-thickness healthy epidermal model (Phenion®). Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that both blockers impacted the localisation of syndecan-1 within the refined epidermis. These results provide evidence that syndecans expression are modified in psoriasis, suggesting that they may represent markers of interest in this pathology.

Abstract
Among different kinds of modified release profiles, sustained drug release (SDR) has received the most attention due to its capability to provide a "safe, efficacious, and convenient" drug delivery effect. Electrospun nanofibers have shown their popularity in this interdisciplinary field, as demonstrated by the first reports about SDRs on drug delivery applications of blended nanofibers and core-shell nanofibers. Along with the evolution of electrospinning from a single-fluid blending process to coaxial, tri-axial, side-by-side, and other multi-fluid processes, more multi-chamber nanostructures can be created through a single-step straight forward manner. These multi-chamber nanostructures can act as a powerful platform to support a wide variety of new strategies for the development of novel SDR nanomaterials. Thus, this review describes a combination history of electrospinning and SDR and its further development trend. After a summary of the presently popular multi-chamber core-shell nanostructures, 15 strategies for furnishing SDR profiles are categorized and exemplified. The perspectives of electrospun multi-chamber nanostructures for further promoting SDR are narrated. This article is categorized under: Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Emerging Technologies.

Abstract
This study aimed to synthesize cellulose acetate (CA)-based electrospun nanofibers as drug delivery dressings for chronic wound healing. For the first time, CA was blended with polyethylene oxide (PEO) using acetone and formic acid. Methylene blue (MB) was incorporated into monolayered random CA/PEO nanofibers. They had a diameter of 400-600 nm, were hydrophilic, and generated reactive oxygen species upon irradiation. Thus, they mediated antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation (aPDI) against isolated biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Bacterial survival, biofilm mass, and produced pyocyanin of the treated groups declined by 90%, 80%, and 3 folds, respectively. On the other hand, ciprofloxacin (Cipro) was loaded into an innovative trilayered aligned nanofiber consisting of CA/PEO surrounding a blank layer of silk fibroin. Cipro and MB release followed the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. An infected diabetic wound mouse model was established and treated with either MB-aPDI or Cipro. A combined therapy group of MB-aPDI followed by Cipro was included. The combined therapy showed significantly better results than monotherapies delineated by elevation in re-epithelization, collagen deposition, CD34, and TGF-β expression, along with a decline in CD95+ cells. This study deduced that drug-loaded CA electrospun nanofibers might be exploited in multimodal chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Nanofibers prepared by biobased materials are widely used in the field of biomedicine, owing to outstanding biocompatibility, biodegradable characters, and excellent mechanical behavior. Herein, we fabricated multilayered nanofibrous scaffolds in order to improve the performance of drug delivery. The composite layer-by-layer scaffolds were incorporated by hydrophobic poly(l-lactic acid) (PLA): polycaprolactone (PCL) and hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers via multilayer electrospinning. Morphological and structural characteristics of the developed scaffolds measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed smooth and uniform fibers ranging in nanometer scale. The differences in contact angles and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR) between single-layered PVA nanofibers and multilayered scaffolds verified the existence of PLA: PCL surface. In vitro biodegradable and drug release analysis depicted multilayered scaffolds had good biodegradability and potential for medical application. Due to the model drug incorporation, scaffolds exhibited good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus by the zone of inhibition test. These results revealed that the multilayered scaffolds were proved to be desirable antibacterial materials for biomedical application.

Abstract
Despite all the advances in adhesive dentistry, dental bonds are still fragile due to degradation events that start during application of adhesive agents and the inherent hydrolysis of resin-dentin bonds. Here, we combined two outstanding processing methods (electrospinning and cryomilling) to obtain bioactive (antimicrobial and anti-metalloproteinase) fiber-based fillers containing a potent matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor (doxycycline, DOX). Poly(ε)caprolactone solutions containing different DOX amounts (0, 5, 25, and 50 wt%) were processed via electrospinning, resulting in non-toxic submicron fibers with antimicrobial activity against Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. The fibers were embedded in a resin blend, light-cured, and cryomilled for the preparation of fiber-containing fillers, which were investigated with antibacterial and in situ gelatin zymography analyzes. The fillers containing 0, 25, and 50 wt% DOX-releasing fibers were added to aliquots of a two-step, etch-and-rinse dental adhesive system. Mechanical strength, hardness, degree of conversion (DC), water sorption and solubility, bond strength to dentin, and nanoleakage analyses were performed to characterize the physico-mechanical, biological, and bonding properties of the modified adhesives. Statistical analyses (ANOVA; Kruskal-Wallis) were used when appropriate to analyze the data (α = 0.05). DOX-releasing fibers were successfully obtained, showing proper morphological architecture, cytocompatibility, drug release ability, slow degradation profile, and antibacterial activity. Reduced metalloproteinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) activity was observed only for the DOX-containing fillers, which have also demonstrated antibacterial properties against tested bacteria. Adhesive resins modified with DOX-containing fillers demonstrated greater DC and similar mechanical properties as compared to the fiber-free adhesive (unfilled control). Concerning bonding performance to dentin, the experimental adhesives showed similar immediate bond strengths to the control. After 12 months of water storage, the fiber-modified adhesives (except the group consisting of 50 wt% DOX-loaded fillers) demonstrated stable bonds to dentin. Nanoleakage was similar among all groups investigated. DOX-releasing fibers showed promising application in developing novel dentin adhesives with potential therapeutic properties and MMP inhibition ability; antibacterial activity against relevant oral pathogens, without jeopardizing the physico-mechanical characteristics; and bonding performance of the adhesive.

Abstract
Artemisia annua L. has been utilized for the first time in a nanofibrous wound dressing composition. The extract of this valuable plant provides anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties which can be considered as a promising medicinal component in therapeutic applications. In the present work, Artemisia annua L. was picked up from Gorgan forest area of Northern Iran and its extract was prepared by methanol as the extraction solvent. In the fabrication of wound dressing, Artemisia annua L. extract was mixed with gelatin and a nanofibrous structure was formed by electrospinning technique. To have a wound dressing with acceptable stability and optimum mechanical properties, this biologically active layer was formed on a PCL nanofibrous base layer. The fabricated double-layer wound dressing was analyzed chemically, structurally, mechanically and biologically. ATR-FTIR spectra of the prepared wound dressing contain functional groups of Artemisia annua L. as peroxide groups, etc. SEM micrographs of electrospun gelatin/Artemisia annua L. confirmed the successful electrospinning process for producing Artemisia annua L.-containing nanofibers with mean diameter of 242.00 ± 67.53 nm. In vitro Artemisia annua L. release study of the fabricated wound dressings suggests a sustain release over 7 days for the crosslinked sample. In addition, evaluation of the in vitro structural stability of the prepared wound dressings confirmed the stability of the crosslinked nanofibrous structures in PBS solution environment. Biological study of the Artemisia annua L.-containing wound dressing revealed no cytotoxicity, good proliferation and attachment of the seeded fibroblasts cells and acceptable antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.

Swelling of mucoadhesive electrospun chitosan/polyethylene oxide nanofibers facilitates adhesion to the sublingual mucosa. Carbohydr Polym 2020; 242:116428.

Abstract
Mucoadhesive chitosan-based electrospun nanofibers are promising candidates for overcoming challenges associated with sublingual drug delivery, yet studies focusing on evaluating the mucoadhesive properties of nanofibers for sublingual administration are limited. The aim was to elucidate the mucoadhesive properties of chitosan/polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers focusing on how the degree of deacetylation (DDA, 53-96 %) of chitosan influenced their morphological and mucoadhesive properties. The mechanism of mucoadhesion was explained by the intermolecular interactions of chitosan with mucin from bovine submaxillary glands using quartz-crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring and by adhesion of the nanofibers to ex vivo porcine sublingual mucosa. An increase in chitosan DDA improved the morphological stability of the nanofibers in water, but did not contribute to altered mucoadhesive properties. This study demonstrates excellent mucoadhesive properties of chitosan/PEO nanofibers and shows that the strong mucoadhesiveness of the nanofibers is attributed to their swelling ability.

Abstract
In this study, biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was blended with natural antioxidant tea polyphenols (TPs) to produce PVA/TP nanofiber films by electrospinning. The effects of heat treatment and TP incorporation on the structural and physical properties of the films were then evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) revealed that the PVA/TP nanofiber film has a more compact structure and better morphology than PVA alone. In addition, the water resistance was enhanced, and the formation of hydrogen bonds between the TP and PVA molecules increased via the heat treatment. Furthermore, the mechanical, antioxygenic, and antibacterial properties of the nanofiber films were significantly improved (P < 0.05) owing to the incorporation of TP. In particular, when the mass ratio of the PVA/TP was 7:3, the elongation at break (EAB) of the film increased to 105.24% ± 2.87%, and the antioxidant value reached a maximum at 64.83% ± 5.21%. In addition, the antibacterial activity of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) increased to the maximum levels of 82.48% ± 2.12% and 86.25% ± 2.32%, respectively. In summary, our study produced a functional food packaging material that includes preservation with an acceptable bioactivity, ability to keep food fresh, and biodegradability.

Abstract
The comparison between Tramadol drug loaded microspheres prepared from gelatin/sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (NaCMC) and those prepared from gelatin/sodium carboxymethyl nanocellulose (NaCMNC) in presence of glutaraldehyde (GA) as cross linker was carried out. Cellulose isolated from rice straw was hydrolyzed using 65% H2SO4 to prepare nanoparticles with average particle size ranging from 44 to 66 nm. Various formulations of gelatin/NaCMC and gelatin/NACMNC were prepared with different ratios of amounts of gelatin, NaCMC/NaCMNC, and GA. Microspheres were characterized by fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The FTIR spectroscopy results confirmed the structure of microsphere and the absence of chemical interactions among Tramadol drug, polymer, and crosslinking agent. The ultraviolet spectroscopy showed 68% efficiency of the drug encapsulation using cellulose, while 55% for nanocellulose. The equilibrium water uptake decreased from 646 to 329% for cellulose microspheres, when the amount of GA increased from 5 to 10 mL. In contrast, the equilibrium water uptake decreased significantly from 501 to 33.7% for nanocellulose microspheres. The yield percentage enhanced from 54.67 to 80% for nanocellulose microspheres. The in vitro release rate was also calculated. The percent cumulative release of drug was significantly increased at the first 2 h and then a slow increase was further noticed. In general, the nanocellulose microsphere showed lower release rates than cellulose. None of the prepared microsphere presented 100% drug release until 12 h.

Abstract
To accomplish a rapid wound healing it is necessary to develop an asymmetric membrane with interconnected pores consisting of a top layer that prevents rapid dehydration of the wound and bacteria penetration and a sub-layer with high absorption capacity and bactericidal properties. Polycaprolactone (PCL)/polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) asymmetric membranes loaded with the bactericidal monoterpene carvacrol (CRV) were synthesized and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical properties in dry and wet conditions and fluid handling behavior were also assessed. In addition, biological studies regarding their bactericidal effects, cytocompatibility and wound closure properties were also developed. Loading efficiencies of 40-50% were achieved in the prepared samples and 85-100% of the loaded CRV was released in simulated wound pH evolution medium. The significant inhibition of Gram negative (Escherichia coli S17) and Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) bacteria growth clearly showed the suitability of the fabricated membranes for wound healing applications. Furthermore, cytocompatibility of the loaded membranes was demonstrated both in 2D and 3D human dermal fibroblast cultures, as well as cell migration was not impaired by released carvacrol from the membranes. These results highlight the potential of these polymeric electrospun membranes for wound healing.

Abstract
Although skeletal muscle has a high potential for self-repair, volumetric muscle loss can result in impairment beyond the endogenous regenerative capacity. There is a clinical need to improve on current clinical treatments that fail to fully restore the structure and function of lost muscle. Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) scaffolds have been an attractive platform for regenerating skeletal muscle, as dECM contains many biochemical cues that aid in cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. However, there is limited capacity to tune physicochemical properties in current dECM technologies to improve outcome. In this study, we aim to create a novel, high-throughput technique to fabricate dECM scaffolds with tunable physicochemical properties while retaining proregenerative matrix components. We demonstrate a successful decellularization protocol that effectively removes DNA. We also identified key steps for the successful production of electrospun muscle dECM without the use of a carrier polymer; electrospinning allows for rapid scaffold fabrication with high control over material properties, which can be optimized to mimic native muscle. To this end, fiber orientation and degree of crosslinking of these dECM scaffolds were modulated and the corollary effects on fiber swelling, mechanical properties, and degradation kinetics were investigated. Beyond application in skeletal muscle, the versatility of this technology has the potential to serve as a foundation for dECM scaffold fabrication in a variety of tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The limitations of conventional therapeutic drugs necessitate the importance of developing novel therapeutics to treat diverse diseases. Conventional drugs have poor blood circulation time and are not stable or compatible with the biological system. Nanomaterials, with their exceptional structural properties, have gained significance as promising materials for the development of novel therapeutics. Nanofibers with unique physiochemical and biological properties have gained significant attention in the field of health care and biomedical research. The choice of a wide variety of materials for nanofiber fabrication, along with the release of therapeutic payload in sustained and controlled release patterns, make nanofibers an ideal material for drug delivery research. Electrospinning is the conventional method for fabricating nanofibers with different morphologies and is often used for the mass production of nanofibers. This review highlights the recent advancements in the use of nanofibers for the delivery of therapeutic drugs, nucleic acids and growth factors. A detailed mechanism for fabricating different types of nanofiber produced from electrospinning, and factors influencing nanofiber generation, are discussed. The insights from this review can provide a thorough understanding of the precise selection of materials used for fabricating nanofibers for specific therapeutic applications and also the importance of nanofibers for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymeric networks, held together by a variety of physical or chemical crosslinks. Among the numerous polymers that can be employed to fabricate hydrogel, polysaccharides have attracted enormous attention due to their peculiar properties that make them suitable for various applications. Compared with homogeneous hydrogels, hydrogels with ordered structures on various length scales are endowed with excellent properties and promising applications in materials science. In the present review, a wide range of techniques were introduced and discussed, which had been utilized to construct ordered hierarchical structures in polysaccharide hydrogels. These techniques focused on the construction of multi-layered and orientated structure, which are two typical and very important forms of hierarchical structure.

Abstract
Due to the brittleness of gelatin, the resulting absence of mechanical performance restricts its applications in vascular tissue engineering. In this research, the fabrication of poly(ester-urethane) urea/gelatin (PU75) nanofibers via an electrospinning technique, followed by different crosslinking methods, resulted in the improvement of its mechanical properties. Poly(ester urethane) urea (PEUU) nanofibrous scaffolds and PU75-based nanofibrous scaffolds were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXRD), a mechanical properties test, a cytocompatibility assay, a hemolysis assay, and a histological analysis. Water contact angle (WCA) tests confirmed that the PU75-GA (PU75 nanofibers crosslinked with glutaraldehyde vapor) nanofibrous scaffold surfaces became more hydrophilic compared with other crosslinked nanofibrous scaffolds. The results show that the PU75-GA nanofibrous scaffold exhibited a combination of excellent mechanical properties, suitable pore diameters, hydrophilic properties, good cytocompatibility, and reliable hemocompatibility. Overall, PU75-GA nanofibers may be a potential scaffold for artificial blood vessel construction. SEM micrographs of the PEUU nanofibrous membrane, PU75 nanofibrous membrane, PU75-DT nanofibrous membrane, PU75-GA nanofibrous membrane, and PU75-E/N nanofibrous membrane and magnified 1000, 5000, and 10 000 times, respectively.![]()
