Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to address substantial defects by amplifying the body's natural regenerative abilities and preserving the health of tissues and organs. To achieve these goals, materials that can provide the spatial and biological support for cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as the micro-environment essential for the intended tissue, are needed. Scaffolds such as polymers and metallic materials provide three-dimensional structures for cells to attach to and grow in defects. These materials have limitations in terms of mechanical properties or biocompatibility. In contrast, biominerals are formed by living organisms through biomineralization, which also includes minerals created by replicating this process. Incorporating biominerals into conventional materials allows for enhanced strength, durability, and biocompatibility. Specifically, biominerals can improve the bond between the implant and tissue by mimicking the micro-environment. This enhances cell differentiation and tissue regeneration. Furthermore, biomineral composites have wound healing and antimicrobial properties, which can aid in wound repair. Additionally, biominerals can be engineered as drug carriers, which can efficiently deliver drugs to their intended targets, minimizing side effects and increasing therapeutic efficacy. This article examines the role of biominerals and their composite materials in regenerative medicine applications and discusses their properties, synthesis methods, and potential uses.

Abstract
Electrospun fibres have emerged as vital components in developing tissue engineering scaffolds. Calcium phosphate-based materials, renowned for their bioactivity and biocompatibility, have garnered considerable attention in biomedical applications. This study focuses on the incorporation of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles into poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) to produce electrospun PLLA/ACP fibrous membranes. Subsequent treatment with acetone yielded a hierarchical porous structure, boasting an ultra-high surface area of 94.7753 ± 0.3884 m2/g. The ACP nanoparticles, initially encapsulated by PLLA, were exposed on the fibre surface after acetone treatment. Furthermore, the porous PLLA/ACP fibrous membrane exhibited superior mechanical properties (Young's modulus = 0.148 GPa, tensile strength = 3.05 MPa) and enhanced wettability. In a 7-day in vitro cell culture with human osteoblast-like cells, the porous PLLA/ACP fibrous membrane demonstrated a significant improvement in osteoblast adhesion and proliferation, with a proliferation rate increase of 252.0% and 298.7% at day 4 and day 7, respectively. These findings underscore the potential of the porous PLLA/ACP fibrous membrane as a promising candidate for bone tissue scaffolds.

Abstract
Silk fibroin hydrogel is a widely used material for tissue engineering. However, its mechanical properties are the main obstacle to its application to medical bone regeneration barrier membranes. Here, we developed a new hydrogel membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). In this study, a sequential crosslinking strategy including photo crosslinking and organic solvent (ethanol) treatment was used to obtain silk fibroin hydrogel membrane (EA-SF). The mechanical properties of EA-SF were significantly enhanced compared to the hydrogel prepared only by photocrosslinking (E-SF). The compressive and tensile strengths of the hydrogel film treated with 75% ethanol for 6 h were 1.18 ± 0.36 MPa and 0.43 ± 0.03 MPa, respectively. In vitro cell culture results showed that EA-SF has good biocompatibility and can effectively shield fibroblasts (L929). EA-SF also has excellent in vitro protein hydrolysis stability. In vivo experiments (subcutaneous implantation and calvarial defect experiment) confirmed the stability and barrier functionality of EA-SF. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that ethanol could improve the mechanical properties of silk fibroin hydrogel and extend the scope of their application, making silk fibroin hydrogel a promising GBR material.

Development of Bi- and Tri-Layer Nanofibrous Membranes Based on the Sulfated Polysaccharide Carrageenan for Periodontal Tissue Regeneration. Mar Drugs 2023; 21:565.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a microbially-induced inflammation of the periodontium that is characterized by the destruction of the periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone and constitutes the principal cause of teeth loss in adults. Periodontal tissue regeneration can be achieved through guided tissue/bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) membranes that act as a physical barrier preventing epithelial infiltration and providing adequate time and space for PDL cells and osteoblasts to proliferate into the affected area. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds, simulating the natural architecture of the extracellular matrix (ECM), have attracted increasing attention in periodontal tissue engineering. Carrageenans are ideal candidates for the development of novel nanofibrous GTR/GBR membranes, since previous studies have highlighted the potential of carrageenans for bone regeneration by promoting the attachment and proliferation of osteoblasts. Herein, we report the development of bi- and tri-layer nanofibrous GTR/GBR membranes based on carrageenans and other biocompatible polymers for the regeneration of periodontal tissue. The fabricated membranes were morphologically characterized, and their thermal and mechanical properties were determined. Their periodontal tissue regeneration potential was investigated through the evaluation of cell attachment, biocompatibility, and osteogenic differentiation of human PDL cells seeded on the prepared membranes.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a serious condition affecting dental implants that can lead to implant failure and loss of osteointegration if is not diagnosed and treated promptly. Therefore, the development of new materials and approaches to treat this condition is of great interest. In this study, we aimed to develop an electrospun scaffold composed of polycaprolactone (PCL) microfibers loaded with cholecalciferol (Col), which has been shown to promote bone tissue regeneration. The physical and chemical properties of the scaffold were characterized, and its ability to support the attachment and proliferation of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells was evaluated. Our results showed that the electrospun PCL-Col scaffold had a highly porous structure and good mechanical properties. The resulting scaffolds had an average fiber diameter of 2-9 μm and high elongation at break (near six-fold under dry conditions) and elasticity (Young modulus between 0.9 and 9 MPa under dry conditions). Furthermore, the Col-loaded scaffold was found to decrease cell proliferation when the Col content in the scaffolds increased. However, cytotoxicity analysis proved that the PCL scaffold on its own releases more lactate dehydrogenase into the medium than the scaffold containing Col at lower concentrations (PCL-Col A, PCL-Col B, and PCL-Col C). Additionally, the Col-loaded scaffold was shown to effectively promote the expression of alkaline phosphatase and additionally increase the calcium fixation in MG-63 cells. Our findings suggest that the electrospun membrane loaded with Col can potentially treat peri-implantitis by promoting bone formation. However, further studies are needed to assess the efficacy and safety of this membrane in vivo.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes are commonly used for periodontal tissue regeneration. Due to the complications of existing GBR membranes, the design of bioactive membranes is still relevant. GBR membranes with an asymmetric structure can accommodate the functional requirements of different interfacial tissues. Here, poly(lactic acid-glycolic acid) (PLGA) was selected as the matrix for preparing a bi-layered membrane with both dense and porous structure. The dense layer for blocking soft tissues was incorporated with zinc (Zn) particles, while the porous layer for promoting bone regeneration was co-incorporated with magnesium (Mg) and Zn particles. Mg/Zn-embedded PLGA membranes exhibited 166% higher mechanical strength in comparison with pure PLGA membranes and showed suitable degradation properties with a sequential ion release behavior of Mg2+ first and continuously Zn2+. More importantly, the release of Zn2+ from bi-layered PLGA endowed GBR membranes with excellent antibacterial activity (antibacterial rate > 69.3%) as well as good cytocompatibility with MC3T3-E1 (mouse calvaria pre-osteoblastic cells) and HGF-1 (human gingival fibroblast cells). Thus, the asymmetric bi-layered PLGA membranes embedded with Mg and Zn particles provide a simple and effective strategy to not only reinforce the PLGA membrane but also endow membranes with osteogenic and antibacterial activity due to the continuous ion release profile, which serves as a promising candidate for use in GBR therapy.

Abstract
The objective of current study was to develop Poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) based active packaging film with long lasting antimicrobial potential in food-packaging applications. For developing such films, PHB was incorporated with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a plasticizer, nano-silica (n-Si) as strengthening material and clove essential oil (CEO) as an antimicrobial agent. These solvent-casted films with varying concentration of n-Si (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 %) and 30 % CEO of total polymer matrix weight i.e., PHB/PEG (90/10) were prepared and studied on the basis of morphological, mechanical, thermal, degradation and antimicrobial behaviours. The presence of CEO and n-Si was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to investigate homogeneous dispersal of n-Si in polymer matrix. PHB/PEG/CEO/Si 1.0 film was selected as optimized one after mechanical testing and therefore further carried for antimicrobial testing. This selected film extended the shelf-life of brown bread up to 10 days comparable to bread wrapped in polyethylene. This revealed that PHB/PEG/CEO/Si 1.0 exhibited superior antibacterial activity against the food borne microbes i.e., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger. Our findings indicate that this film improved the shelf-life of packaged bread and has promising features for active food packaging.

Abstract
Incorporation of biogenic or biocompatible synthetic polymers with inorganic mineral components have been suggested for the preparation of more bioactive materials. However, when two different inorganic minerals such as Ca- and Si-based minerals are introduced onto organic polymers, each mineral is deposited in a segregated form. Here, we presented a biomolecule-mediated preparation method for dual mineral-deposited polymer, in which two inorganic minerals were well-deposited on organic polymer with the aid of biological molecules. A chimeric bio-macromolecules, a fusion protein (CA-SFP) of carbonic anhydrase (CA) and silica-forming peptide (SFP), was designed and used. Surface-immobilized CA-SFP enabled the deposition of CaCO3 and silica nanoparticles on biopolymer without any segregated aggregation. SEM, EDS, FTIR, and swelling ratio analysis indicated that in the developed dual mineral-deposited polymer, each mineral was well-distributed across the polymer surfaces. Investigation by MTS assays, fluorescent imaging, and RT-qPCR revealed that the dual mineral-deposited polymer, when used as bone scaffolds, led to better cell proliferation and differentiation without any significant cytotoxicity compared to the counterparts. These results show that our mineral-deposition method mediated by biomolecules not only overcomes mineral-segregation involving multi-mineral formations, but also facilitates the preparation of highly-bioactive composite materials.

Abstract
The accelerating bone healing process is still a major challenge in clinical orthopedics, especially in critical-sized bone defects. Recently, Nanofiber membranes are showing increasing attention in the biomedical field due to their good biocompatibility, mechanical stability, and the ability to work as a drug carrier to achieve localized and sustained drug delivery. Herein, a multifunction nanofiber membrane loaded with vitamin D (Vit D) and curcumin (Cur) was successfully fabricated using electrospinning technology. In addition, we innovatively modified Vit D with PEG to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL nanofibers. The vitro results of CCK-8, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and mineralization demonstrated that the PCL/Vit D-Cur membrane had great potential for enhancing the proliferation/differentiation of osteoblasts. Moreover, the synergistic effect of Vit D-Cur loaded PCL nanofiber membrane showed a superior ability to improve the anti-inflammatory activity through M2 polarization. Furthermore, in vivo results confirmed that the defect treated with PCL/Vit D-Cur nanofiber membrane was filled with the newly formed bone after 1 month. These results indicate that the Vit D/Cur loaded membrane can be applied for potential bone regeneration therapy.

Copper (Cu)-loaded electrospun membranes were tailored for guided bone regeneration (GBR), targeting the stimulation of innate cells active in bone growth and the prevention of bacterial infections. Functional GBR membranes were produced via an electrospinning set-up using a silk-based solution associated with polyethylene oxide (Silk/PEO - control). Experimental groups were loaded with copper oxide using varying weight percentages (0.05 % to 1 % of CuO). The morphological, structural, chemical, and mechanical properties of membranes were evaluated. Direct and indirect in vitro cytocompatibility experiments were performed with primary human bone mesenchymal stem cells and primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The antibacterial potential of membranes was tested with Staphylococcus aureus and Fusobacterium nucleatum biofilm. CuO was successfully incorporated into membranes as clusters without compromising their mechanical properties for clinical applicability. Increased Cu concentrations generated membranes with thinner nanofibers, greater pore areas, and stronger antimicrobial effect (p < 0.01). Cu2+ ion was released from the nanofiber membranes during 1 week, showing higher release in acidic conditions. CuO 0.1 % and CuO 0.05 % membranes were able to support and stimulate cell adhesion and proliferation (p < 0.05), and favor angiogenic responses of vascular cells. In addition, detailed quantitative and qualitative analysis determined that amount of the attached biofilm was reduced on the tailored functional Cu2+-loaded GBR membrane. Importantly, these qualities represent a valuable strategy to improve the bone regeneration process and diminish the risk of bacterial infections.

Electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibrous membranes loaded with baicalin for antibacterial wound dressing. Sci Rep 2022; 12:10900. [PMID: 35764658 PMCID: PMC9240071 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-13141-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to the rise in bacterial resistance, the antibacterial extractions from Chinese herbs have been used more frequently for wound care. In this work, baicalin, an extraction from the Chinese herb Scutellaria baicalensis, was utilized as the antibacterial component in the poly(ε-caprolactone)/MXene (PCL/Ti3C2TX) hybrid nanofibrous membranes for wound dressing. The results revealed that the presence of Ti3C2TX aided in the diameter reduction of the electrospun nanofibers. The PCL hybrid membrane containing 3 wt% Ti3C2TX nanoflakes and 5 wt% baicalin exhibited the smallest mean diameter of 210 nm. Meanwhile, the antibacterial tests demonstrated that the PCL ternary hybrid nanofibers containing Ti3C2TX and baicalin exhibited adequate antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacterial S. aureus due to the good synergistic effects of Ti3C2TX naoflakes and baicalin. The addition of Ti3C2TX nanoflakes and baicalin could significantly improve the hydrophilicity of the membranes, resulting in the release of baicalin from the nanofibers. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the nanofibers on rat skeletal myoblast L6 cells confirmed their good compatibility with these PCL-based nanofibrous membrances. This work offers a feasible way to prepare antibacterial nanofibrous membranes using Chinese herb extraction for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a widely used technique for alveolar bone augmentation. Among all the principal elements, barrier membrane is recognized as the key to the success of GBR. Ideal barrier membrane should have satisfactory biological and mechanical properties. According to their composition, barrier membranes can be divided into polymer membranes and non-polymer membranes. Polymer barrier membranes have become a research hotspot not only because they can control the physical and chemical characteristics of the membranes by regulating the synthesis conditions but also because their prices are relatively low. Still now the bone augment effect of barrier membrane used in clinical practice is more dependent on the body’s own growth potential and the osteogenic effect is difficult to predict. Therefore, scholars have carried out many researches to explore new barrier membranes in order to improve the success rate of bone enhancement. The aim of this study is to collect and compare recent studies on optimizing barrier membranes. The characteristics and research progress of different types of barrier membranes were also discussed in detail.

Poly (L-Lactic Acid) Cell-Laden Scaffolds Applied on Swine Model of Tracheal Fistula. J Surg Res 2022; 277:319-334. [PMID: 35552075 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.03.024] [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: 06/24/2021] [Revised: 02/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tracheal fistula (TF) treatments may involve temporary orthosis and further ablative procedures, which can lead to infection. Thus, TF requires other therapy alternatives development. The hypothesis of this work was to demonstrate the feasibility of a tissue-engineered alternative for small TF in a preclinical model. Also, its association with suture filaments enriched with adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (AT-MSCs) was assessed to determine whether it could optimize the regenerative process. METHODS Poly (L-Lactic acid) (PLLA) membranes were manufactured by electrospinning and had morphology analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. AT-MSCs were cultured in these scaffolds and in vitro assays were performed (cytotoxicity, cellular adhesion, and viability). Subsequently, these cellular constructs were implanted in an animal small TF model. The association with suture filaments containing attached AT-MSCs was present in one animal group. After 30 d, animals were sacrificed and regenerative potential was evaluated, mainly related to the extracellular matrix remodeling, by performing histopathological (Hematoxylin-Eosin and trichrome Masson) and immunohistochemistry (Collagen I/II/III, matrix metalloproteinases-2, matrix metalloproteinases-9, vascular endothelial growth factor, and interleukin-10) analyses. RESULTS PLLA membranes presented porous fibers, randomly oriented. In vitro assays results showed that AT-MSCs attached were viable and maintained an active metabolism. Swine implanted with AT-MSCs attached to membranes and suture filaments showed aligned collagen fibers and a better regenerative progress in 30 d. CONCLUSIONS PLLA membranes with AT-MSCs attached were useful to the extracellular matrix restoration and have a high potential for small TF treatment. Also, their association with suture filaments enriched with AT-MSCs was advantageous.

Abstract
Periodontal disease is a common complication, and conventional periodontal surgery can lead to severe bleeding. Different membranes have been used for periodontal treatment with limitations, such as improper biodegradation, poor mechanical property, and no effective hemostatic property. Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membranes favoring periodontal regeneration were prepared to overcome these shortcomings. The mucilage of the chia seed was extracted and utilized to prepare the guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane. Lignin having antibacterial properties was used to synthesize lignin-mediated ZnO nanoparticles (∼Lignin@ZnO) followed by characterization with analytical techniques like Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–visible spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope (SEM). To fabricate the GTR membrane, extracted mucilage, Lignin@ZnO, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were mixed in different ratios to obtain a thin film. The fabricated GTR membrane was evaluated using a dynamic fatigue analyzer for mechanical properties. Appropriate degradation rates were approved by degradability analysis in water for different intervals of time. The fabricated GTR membrane showed excellent antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterial species.

Abstract
Guided bone and tissue regeneration remains an integral treatment modality to regenerate bone surrounding teeth and dental implants. Barrier membranes have been developed and produced commercially to allow space for bone regeneration and prevent the migration of unwanted cells. Ideal membrane properties, including biocompatibility, sufficient structural integrity and suitable shelf life with easy clinical application, are important to ensure good clinical regenerative outcomes. Membranes have various types, and their clinical application depends on the origin, material, structure and properties. This narrative review aims to describe the currently available barrier membranes in terms of history, main features, types, indication and clinical application and classify them into various groups. Various membranes, including those which are resorbable and non-resorbable, synthetic, added with growth factors and composed of modern materials, such as high-grade polymer (Polyetheretherketone), are explored in this review.

Abstract
Polymer/silica (PS) nanocomposites are, among numerous combinations of inorganic/organic nanocomposites, one of the most important materials reported in the literature and have been employed in a wide variety of applications. Due to this great interest in the scientific and industry community, knowledge about their physiochemistry allows for a better understanding of their development and improvement. One area of interest found in biopolymers is silica, where silica nanoparticles can be used to increase their mechanical properties and give them higher opportunities to replace synthetic plastics. With this aim in mind, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to predict the structure and mechanical properties of the interphase region and nanocomposite systems of polycaprolactone (PCL), a common poly(hydroxy acid) type biopolymer, reinforced with silica nanoparticles. Two types of nanoparticles were studied to assess the effect of PEGylation: hydroxyl (ungrafted) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) (grafted or PEGylated) functionalized silica. The interaction energy between the nanoparticle and the polymeric matrix was determined, showing an increase of the affinity between each component due to the PEGylation of the nanoparticle. Through the analysis of polymer density profiles, the structure and thickness of the interphase region were determined, and it was observed that PEGylation increased the interphase thickness from 10.80 Å to 13.04 Å while it decreased the peak and average polymer density of the interphase region. Using compressed and expanded molecular models of the neat PCL polymer, the mechanical properties of the interphase region were related to its density through an interpolation model, and mechanical property profiles were obtained, from which the average values of the Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio and shear modulus of the interphase region were calculated. Finally, the mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were determined by molecular mechanics simulations, showing that the silica nanoparticles increased the stiffness of the composite system to about 7-8% with respect to that of the neat polymer, having a 2.09% weight of bare silica or 2.82% weight of PEGylated silica. PEGylation did not show an additional effect on the overall mechanical properties. A mean field micromechanics model (Mori-Tanaka) corroborated the properties calculated for the interphase region using MD simulations. It was concluded that the PEGylation of the nanoparticle improved the affinity, and thus the dispersion, of the silica nanoparticles towards the PCL matrix, but with no further increase in the mechanical properties of the composite.

Abstract
A nanocomposite bone scaffold was fabricated from pullulan, a natural extracellular polysaccharide. Pullulan (PULL) was blended with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and a nano-platform with ball-stick morphology, Ag-Silica Janus particles (Ag-Silica JPs), which were utilized to fabricate nanocomposite scaffold with enhanced mechanical and biological properties. The Ag-Silica JPs were synthesized via a one-step sol-gel method and used to obtain synergistic properties of silver and silica's antibacterial and bioactive effects, respectively. The synthesized Ag-Silica JPs were characterized by means of FE-SEM, DLS, and EDS. The PULL/PVP scaffolds containing Ag-Silica JPs, fabricated by the freeze-drying method, were evaluated by SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, ICP and biological analysis, including antibacterial activity, bioactivity, cell viability and cell culture tests. It was noted that increasing Ag-Silica JPs amounts to an optimum level (1% w/w) led to an improvement in compressive modulus and strength of nanocomposite scaffold, reaching 1.03 ± 0.48 MPa and 3.27 ± 0.18, respectively. Scaffolds incorporating Ag-Silica JPs also showed favorable antibacterial activity. The investigations through apatite forming ability of scaffolds in SBF indicated spherical apatite precipitates. Furthermore, the cell viability test proved the outstanding biocompatibility of nanocomposite scaffolds (more than 90%) confirmed by cell culture tests showing that increment of Ag-Silica JPs amounts led to better adhesion, proliferation, ALP activity and mineralization of MG-63 cells.

Abstract
Guided tissue/bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) is commonly applied in dentistry to aid in the regeneration of bone/tissue at a defective location, where the assistive material eventually degrades to be substituted with newly produced tissue. Membranes separate the rapidly propagating soft tissue from the slow-growing bone tissue for optimal tissue regeneration results. A broad membrane exposure area, biocompatibility, hardness, ductility, cell occlusion, membrane void ratio, tissue integration, and clinical manageability are essential functional properties of a GTR/GBR membrane, although no single modern membrane conforms to all of the necessary characteristics. This review considers ongoing bone/tissue regeneration engineering research and the GTR/GBR materials described in this review fulfill all of the basic ISO requirements for human use, as determined through risk analysis and rigorous testing. Novel modified materials are in the early stages of development and could be classified as synthetic polymer membranes, biological extraction synthetic polymer membranes, or metal membranes. Cell attachment, proliferation, and subsequent tissue development are influenced by the physical features of GTR/GBR membrane materials, including pore size, porosity, and mechanical strength. According to the latest advances, key attributes of nanofillers introduced into a polymer matrix include suitable surface area, better mechanical capacity, and stability, which enhances cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, it is essential to construct a bionic membrane that satisfies the requirements for the mechanical barrier, the degradation rate, osteogenesis, and clinical operability.

Silicon-Gold Nanoparticles Affect Wharton's Jelly Phenotype and Secretome during Tri-Lineage Differentiation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042134.

Abstract
Multiple studies have demonstrated that various nanoparticles (NPs) stimulate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and inhibit adipogenic ones. The mechanisms of these effects are not determined. The aim of this paper was to estimate Wharton’s Jelly MSCs phenotype and humoral factor production during tri-lineage differentiation per se and in the presence of silicon–gold NPs. Silicon (SiNPs), gold (AuNPs), and 10% Au-doped Si nanoparticles (SiAuNPs) were synthesized by laser ablation, characterized, and studied in MSC cultures before and during differentiation. Humoral factor production (n = 41) was analyzed by Luminex technology. NPs were nontoxic, did not induce ROS production, and stimulated G-CSF, GM-CSF, VEGF, CXCL1 (GRO) production in four day MSC cultures. During MSC differentiation, all NPs stimulated CD13 and CD90 expression in osteogenic cultures. MSC differentiation resulted in a decrease in multiple humoral factor production to day 14 of incubation. NPs did not significantly affect the production in chondrogenic cultures and stimulated it in both osteogenic and adipogenic ones. The major difference in the protein production between osteogenic and adipogenic MSC cultures in the presence of NPs was VEGF level, which was unaffected in osteogenic cells and 4–9 times increased in adipogenic ones. The effects of NPs decreased in a row AuNPs > SiAuNPs > SiNPs. Taken collectively, high expression of CD13 and CD90 by MSCs and critical level of VEGF production can, at least, partially explain the stimulatory effect of NPs on MSC osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
As a low cost, biocompatible, and bioresorbable synthetic polymer, poly (ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) is widely used for different biomedical applications including drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering. An extensive range of in vitro and in vivo tests has proven the favourable applicability of PCL in biomedicine, bringing about the FDA approval for a plethora of PCL made medical or drug delivery systems. This popular polymer, widely researched since the 1970s, can be readily processed through various techniques such as 3D printing and electrospinning to create biomimetic and customized medical products. However, low mechanical strength, insufficient number of cellular recognition sites, poor bioactivity, and hydrophobicity are main shortcomings of PCL limiting its broader use for biomedical applications. To maintain and benefit from the high potential of PCL, yet addressing its physicochemical and biological challenges, blending with nature-derived (bio)polymers and incorporation of nanofillers have been extensively investigated. Here, we discuss novel additives that have been meant for enhancement of PCL nanofiber properties and thus for further extension of the PCL nanofiber application domain. The most recent researches (since 2017) have been covered and an updated overview about hybrid PCL nanofibers is presented with focus on those including nature-derived additives, e.g., polysaccharides and proteins, and synthetic additives, e.g., inorganic and carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
Recent developments within the topic of biomaterials has taken hold of researchers due to the mounting concern of current environmental pollution as well as scarcity resources. Amongst all compatible biomaterials, polycaprolactone (PCL) is deemed to be a great potential biomaterial, especially to the tissue engineering sector, due to its advantages, including its biocompatibility and low bioactivity exhibition. The commercialization of PCL is deemed as infant technology despite of all its advantages. This contributed to the disadvantages of PCL, including expensive, toxic, and complex. Therefore, the shift towards the utilization of PCL as an alternative biomaterial in the development of biocomposites has been exponentially increased in recent years.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) technology is a commonly used surgical procedure for the repair of damaged periodontal tissues. Poor mechanical property and rapid degradation rate are the major reasons for GBR membrane failure in clinical applications. Herein, we applied a green papermaking method to fabricate silk fibroin (SF) membranes blended with collagen and tested their performance. The results showed that the blended SF75 (SF and collagen in a weight ratio of 75:25) membranes are biocompatible with good mechanical properties in the wet condition and appropriate biodegradation rate. MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation on the membranes were improved by the hybrid biological functions of SF and collagen. Subcutaneous implantation in rats for 9 weeks demonstrated that the membranes induced a less severe inflammatory response. The biodegradation time of the SF75 membranes was appropriate for tissue regeneration. This research, for the first time, reports a blended membrane prepared from silk fibroin and collagen with an ecofriendly method, which shows promise for application in guided bone regeneration.

Abstract
Porous substrates composed of biodegradable polymers and nanoparticles have found extensive use as three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds to regenerate damaged tissues through the incorporation of cells or growth factors. Here, injectable thermally responsive hydrogels based on SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), alginate, and gelatin biopolymers, with possible utilization for cartilage tissue engineering, are introduced. The nanocomposites contain different amounts of SiO2 NPs for reinforcement and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) for chemical crosslinking of polymer chains in the 3D hydrogel network. The cross-sectional structure of the hydrogels containing 0.25, 1.5, and 3.0% SiO2 NPs was observed by FE-SEM, confirming porous morphology with interconnected pores. Based on the rheometer analyses, by increasing the amount of SiO2 NPs, the mechanical strength of the gels can be found. In addition, in vitro biodegradation studies show that the hydrogels without SiO2 are more unstable than the hydrogels containing SiO2 NPs. In vitro biocompatibility of the products tested by MTT assay indicates that cell viability and attachment depend on the presence of SiO2 NPs. Thermoresponsive oxidized alginate/gelatin/SiO2 NPs injectable hydrogels have great potential in cartilage tissue engineering due to low gelation time (120 s) and body temperature gelation (37 °C).![]()

Abstract
This study aimed to develop bioactive guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes by manufacturing PBAT/BAGNb composites as casting films. Composites were produced by melt-extrusion, and BAGNb was added at 10 wt%, 20 wt%, and 30 wt% concentration. Pure PBAT membranes were used as a control (0wt%BAGNb). FTIR and thermogravimetric analysis characterized the composites. Barrier membranes were produced by solvent casting, and their mechanical and surface properties were assessed by tensile strength test and contact angle analysis, respectively. The ion release and cell behavior were evaluated by pH, cell proliferation, and mineralization. Composites were successfully produced, and the chemical structure showed no interference of BAGNb in the PBAT structure. The addition of BAGNb increased the stiffness of the membranes and reduced the contact angle, increasing the roughness in one side of the membrane. Sustained pH increment was observed for BAGNb-containing membranes with increased proliferation and mineralization as the concentration of BAGNb increases. The incorporation of up to 30 wt% of BAGNb into PBAT barrier membranes was able to maintain adequate chemical-mechanical properties leading to the production of materials with tailored surface properties and bioactivity. Finally, this biomaterial class showed outstanding potential and may contribute to bone formation in GBR procedures.

Abstract
An efficient long-term intracellular growth factor release system in simulated microgravity for osteogenic differentiation was prepared based on polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) nanoparticles for loading of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) (defined as sB2-PLA-NP and sB7-PHA-NP), respectively, associated with osteogenic differentiation of human adipose derived stem cells (hADSCs). On account of soybean lecithin (SL) as biosurfactants, sB2-PLA-NPs and sB7-PHA-NPs had a high encapsulation efficiency (>80%) of BMPs and uniform small size (<100 nm), and showed different slow-release to provide BMP2 in early stage and BMP7 in late stages of osteogenic differentiation within 20 days, due to degradation rate of PLA and PHA in cells. After uptake into hADSCs, by comparison with single sB2-PLA-NP or sB7-PHA-NP, the Mixture NPs, compound of sB2-PLA-NP and sB7-PHA-NP with a mass ratio of 1:1, can well-promote ALP activity, expression of OPN and upregulated related osteo-genes. Directed osteo-differentiation of Mixture NPs was similar to result of sustained free-BMP2 and BMP7-supplying (sFree-B2&B7) in simulated microgravity, which demonstrated the reliability and stability of Mixture NPs as a long-term osteogenic differentiation system in space medicine and biology in future.

Abstract
Designing of nanomaterials has now become a top-priority research goal with a view to developing specific applications in the biomedical fields. In fact, the recent trends in the literature show that there is a lack of in-depth reviews that specifically highlight the current knowledge based on the design and production of nanomaterials. Considerations of size, shape, surface charge and microstructures are important factors in this regard as they affect the performance of nanoparticles (NPs). These parameters are also found to be dependent on their synthesis methods. The characterisation techniques that have been used for the investigation of these nanomaterials are relatively different in their concepts, sample preparation methods and obtained results. Consequently, this review article aims to carry out an in-depth discussion on the recent trends on nanomaterials for biomedical engineering, with a particular emphasis on the choices of the nanomaterials, preparation methods/instruments and characterisations techniques used for designing of nanomaterials. Key applications of these nanomaterials, such as tissue regeneration, medication delivery and wound healing, are also discussed briefly. Covering this knowledge gap will result in a better understanding of the role of nanomaterial design and subsequent larger-scale applications in terms of both its potential and difficulties.

Abstract
For the first time, a biohybrid nanofibrous wound dressing is developed via green electrospinning of a blend solution of bovine serum albumin (BSA) (1 and 3 wt%) and polycaprolactone (PCL). In such a system, the components are miscible and interact through hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl group of PCL and the amine group of BSA, as verified by ATR-FTIR. As a result, the biohybrid nanofibers show a superior elastic modulus and elongation (300% and 58%, respectively) compared with the neat PCL nanofibers. The included protein induces a hydrophilicity effect to the PCL nanofibers, notably at the higher BSA content (3 wt%). In contrast to the neat nanofibers, the biohybrid ones are bioactive and encourage formation of biominerals (made of amorphous calcium carbonate) on the surface, after immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). Based on the WST-8 cell viability tests, NIH3T3 fibroblast cells were seen to properly interact with the biohybrid mats and to proliferate in their proximity. SEM images show that the cells largely adhere onto such nanofibers even more than they do on the neat ones and adopt a flattened and stretched shape. In addition, the live/dead assay and phalloidin/DAPI staining assay confirm large cell viability and normal cell morphology on the biohybrid nanofiber mats after 4 days incubation. Taken together, BSA/PCL nanofibers are able to offer optimum mechanical properties (elasticity) as well as mineralization which can potentially stimulate the wound healing process, and can be considered a suitable candidate for wound dressing applications.

Abstract
The metamorphosis of biodegradable polymers in biomedical applications is an auspicious myriad of indagation. The utmost challenge in clinical conditions includes trauma, organs failure, soft and hard tissues, infection, cancer and inflammation, congenital disorders which are still not medicated efficiently. To overcome this bone of contention, proliferation in the concatenation of biodegradable materials for clinical applications has emerged as a silver bullet owing to eco-friendly, nontoxicity, exorbitant mechanical properties, cost efficiency, and degradability. Several bioimplants are designed and fabricated in a way to reabsorb or degrade inside the body after performing the specific function rather than eliminating the bioimplants. The objective of this comprehensive is to unfurl the anecdote of emerging biological polymers derived implants including silk, lignin, soy, collagen, gelatin, chitosan, alginate, starch, etc. by explicating the selection, fabrication, properties, and applications. Into the bargain, emphasis on the significant characteristics of current discernment and purview of nanotechnology integrated biopolymeric implants has also been expounded. This robust contrivance shed light on recent inclinations and evolution in tissue regeneration and targeting organs followed by precedency and fly in the ointment concerning biodegradable implants evolved by employing fringe benefits provided by 3D printing technology for building tissues or organs construct for implantation.

Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic printing (EHDP) is capable of fabricating scaffolds that consist of micro/nano scale orientated fibers for three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models and drug screening applications. One of the major hurdles that limit the widespread application of EHDP is the lack of diverse biomaterial inks with appropriate printability and desired mechanical and biological properties. In this work, we blended plant proteins with synthetic biopolymer poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) to develop composite biomaterial inks, such as PCL/gliadin and PCL/zein for scaffold fabrication through EHDP. The tensile test results showed that the composite materials with a relatively small amount of plant protein portions, such as PCL/gliadin-10 and PCL/zein-10, can significantly improve tensile properties of the fabricated scaffolds such as Young’s modulus and yield stress. These scaffolds were further evaluated by culturing mouse embryonic fibroblasts (NIH/3T3) cells and proven to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation, apart from temporary inhibition effects for PCL/gliadin-20 scaffold at the initial growth stage. After these plant protein nanoparticles were gradually released into culture medium, the generated nanoporous structures on the scaffold fiber surfaces became favorable for cellular attachment, migration, and proliferation. As competent candidates that regulate cell behaviors in 3D microenvironment, such composite scaffolds manifest a great potential in drug screening and 3D in vitro model development.

Abstract
The guided tissue regeneration (GTR) technique can be applied in dentistry and other medical specializations, such as orthopedics. In modern dentistry, GTR has been used in periodontics and implantology to treat periodontal defects, to reconstruct lost, damaged and atrophied bone tissue in dental implant procedures, and to preserve alveolar bases after tooth extraction. In order to create and improve new therapies and to develop new biomaterials that restore, improve and prevent aggravation of compromised tissue function, poly (ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) polymer membranes were obtained by the electrospinning process and were associated with two plant extracts: Pterodon pubescens Benth (P. pubescens) and Arrabidaea chica Verlot (A. chica) which are characterized by their pharmacological activities of anti-inflammatory and healing actions, respectively. Fiber morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), where fiber average diameter was measured from SEM images. Contact angle measurements were performed in order to evaluate the hydrophilicity of electrospun membranes containing vegetal extract. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to evaluate the ability to release active ingredients. Cytotoxicity and cell proliferation assays were performed in vitro on NIH-3T3 cells for 1, 3 and 7 d. Electrospun PCL membranes associated with plant extracts P. pubescens and/or A. chica presented a controlled release profile of the active compounds induced fibroblast formation, suggesting that they are promising and suitable for applications in GTR.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied for a wide variety of applications, due to the elevated surface area and outstanding properties. Several types of NPs are available nowadays, each one with particular characteristics and challenges. Bionanocomposites, especially composed by polymer matrices, are gaining attention in the biomedical field. Although, several studies have shown the potential of adding NPs into these materials, some investigation is still needed until their clinical use for in vivo application is consummated. Besides that, is essential to evaluate whether the addition of nanoparticles changes the matrix property. In this review, we summarize the latest advances concerning polymeric bionanocomposites incorporated with organic (polymeric, cellulosic, carbon-based), and inorganic (metallic, magnetics, and metal oxide) NPs.

Abstract
In this work, different nanocomposite electrospun fiber mats were obtained based on poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) and reinforced with both organic and inorganic nanoparticles. In particular, on one side, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were synthesized and functionalized by "grafting from" reaction, using their superficial OH- group to graft PCL chains. On the other side, commercial chitosan, graphene as organic, while silver, hydroxyapatite, and fumed silica nanoparticles were used as inorganic reinforcements. All the nanoparticles were added at 1 wt% with respect to the PCL polymeric matrix in order to compare the different behavior of the woven no-woven nanocomposite electrospun fibers with a fixed amount of both organic and inorganic nanoparticles. From the thermal point of view, no difference was found between the effect of the addition of organic or inorganic nanoparticles, with no significant variation in the Tg (glass transition temperature), Tm (melting temperature), and the degree of crystallinity, leading in all cases to high crystallinity electrospun mats. From the mechanical point of view, the highest values of Young modulus were obtained when graphene, CNC, and silver nanoparticles were added to the PCL electrospun fibers. Moreover, all the nanoparticles used, both organic and inorganic, increased the flexibility of the electrospun mats, increasing their elongation at break.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to engineer tissue constructs that can recapitulate the functional and structural properties of native organs. Most novel regenerative therapies are based on the recreation of a three-dimensional environment that can provide essential guidance for cell organization, survival, and function, which leads to adequate tissue growth. The primary motivation in the use of conductive nanomaterials in tissue engineering has been to develop biomimetic scaffolds to recapitulate the electrical properties of the natural extracellular matrix, something often overlooked in numerous tissue engineering materials to date. In this review article, we focus on the use of electroconductive nanobiomaterials for different biomedical applications, particularly, very recent advancements for cardiovascular, neural, bone, and muscle tissue regeneration. Moreover, this review highlights how electroconductive nanobiomaterials can facilitate cell to cell crosstalk (i.e., for cell growth, migration, proliferation, and differentiation) in different tissues. Thoughts on what the field needs for future growth are also provided.

Abstract
Selection of an appropriate membrane material for guided bone regeneration (GBR) is still ongoing among resorbable and nonresorbable membranes with different characteristics. The major problem with nonresorbable membranes is the inevitable secondary surgery, while resorbable polymer membranes have limitations in providing sufficient mechanical support during the bone repair period due to premature loss of mechanical strength. Pure magnesium foil has been evaluated to explore its feasibility as a resorbable GBR membrane. It exhibited better mechanical properties, whereas poor formability and fast degradation rate were noted. In light of this, pure zinc membrane was developed as a pilot research in this paper. We designed three types of pure zinc membranes: pure Zn without pores, pure Zn with 300 µm diameter and 1000 µm diameter pores, and pure titanium without pores as a control. The mechanical property, in vitro immersion tests, and MC3T3-E1 cell viability assays were tested. Moreover, in vivo behaviors of three type zinc membranes were evaluated by using a rat calvarial critical-sized bone defect model. The experimental results indicated that pure Zn membrane with 300 µm pores showed the most favorable osteogenic capability, comparable to that of titanium membrane without pores. Therefore, considering appropriate degradation rate, adequate mechanical maintenance, and profitable osteogenic capacity, metallic pure zinc is believed to be a promising candidate for barrier membranes in GBR therapy for bone regeneration, and its mechanical property can be enhanced with further alloying. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Metallic element zinc plays a pivotal role in the growth and mineralization of bone tissues. As a pilot research, three type of guided bone regeneration (GBR) membranes were developed in the present work: pure Zn without pores, pure Zn with 300 µm-diameter and 1000 µm-diameter pores respectively. The mechanical property, in vitro immersion tests and MC3T3-E1 cell viability assays were tested, with pure titanium without pores as a control, thereafter the in vivo performance were evaluated by using a rat calvarial critical-sized bone defect model. It indicated that pure Zn membrane with 300 µm pores showed the most favorable osteogenic capability, comparable to that of titanium membrane control, and is believed to be a promising material candidate as barrier membrane in GBR therapy for bone regeneration.

Abstract
The bacterial colonization of absorbable membranes used for guided tissue regeneration (GTR), as well as their rapid degradation that can cause their rupture, are considered the major reasons for clinical failure. To address this, composite membranes of polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatin (Gel) loaded with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs; 1, 3 and 6 wt% relative to PCL content) were fabricated by electrospinning. To fabricate homogeneous fibrillar membranes, acetic acid was used as a sole common solvent to enhance the miscibility of PCL and Gel in the electrospinning solutions. The effects of ZnO-NPs in the physico-chemical, mechanical and in vitro biological properties of composite membranes were studied. The composite membranes showed adequate mechanical properties to offer a satisfactory clinical manipulation and an excellent conformability to the defect site while their degradation rate seemed to be appropriate to allow successful regeneration of periodontal defects. The presence of ZnO-NPs in the composite membranes significantly decreased the planktonic and the biofilm growth of the Staphylococcus aureus over time. Finally, the viability of human osteoblasts and human gingival fibroblasts exposed to the composite membranes with 1 and 3 wt% of ZnO-NPs indicated that those membranes are not expected to negatively influence the ability of periodontal cells to repopulate the defect site during GTR treatments. The results here obtained suggest that composite membranes of PCL and Gel loaded with ZnO-NPs have the potential to be used as structurally stable GTR membranes with local antibacterial properties intended for enhancing clinical treatments.

Abstract
To improve the bioperformances of porous polyetheretherketone (PPK) for bone repair, silicon nitride-coated PPK (CSNPPK) was prepared by a method of suspension coating and melt binding. The results revealed that, as compared with PPK, the surface roughness, compressive strength, and water absorption of CSNPPK increased, while the pore size and porosity of CSNPPK exhibited no obvious changes. In addition, the cellular responses (including attachment, proliferation, and differentiation as well as osteogenically related gene expressions) of the MC3T3-E1 cells to CSNPPK were remarkably promoted compared with PPK and dense polyetheretherketone in vitro. Moreover, in the model of rabbit femoral condyle defects, the results of micro computed tomography and histological and mechanical evaluation revealed that the ingrowth of new vessels and bone tissues into CSNPPK was significantly greater than that into PPK in vivo. Furthermore, the load-displacement and push-out loads for CSNPPK with bone tissues were higher than for PPK, indicating good osseointegration. In short, CSNPPK not only promoted vascularization but also enhanced osteogenesis as well as osseointegration in vivo. Therefore, it can be suggested that CSNPPK with good biocompatibility, osteogenic activity, and vascularization might be a promising candidate as an implant for bone substitute and repair.

Abstract
The purpose of 4D printing is to embed a product design into a deformable smart material using a traditional 3D printer. The 3D printed object can be assembled or transformed into intended designs by applying certain conditions or forms of stimulation such as temperature, pressure, humidity, pH, wind, or light. Simply put, 4D printing is a continuum of 3D printing technology that is now able to print objects which change over time. In previous studies, many smart materials were shown to have 4D printing characteristics. In this paper, we specifically review the current application, respective activation methods, characteristics, and future prospects of various polymeric materials in 4D printing, which are expected to contribute to the development of 4D printing polymeric materials and technology.

Abstract
The discovery of novel methods to fabricate optimal scaffolds that mimic both mechanical and functional properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) has always been the "holy grail" in tissue engineering. In recent years, electrospinning has emerged as an attractive material fabrication method and has been widely applied in tissue engineering due to its capability of producing non-woven and nanoscale fibers. However, from the perspective of biomimicry, it is difficult for single-component electrospun fiber membranes to achieve the biomimetic purposes of the multi-component extracellular matrix. Based on electrospinning, various functional components can be efficiently and expediently introduced into the membranes, and through the complementation and correlation of the properties of each component, composite materials with comprehensive and superior properties are obtained while maintaining the primitive merits of each component. In this review, we will provide an overview of the attempts made to fabricate electrospinning-based composite tissue engineering materials in the past few decades, which have been divided into organic additives, inorganic additives and organic-inorganic additives.

Abstract
Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a bioresorbable synthetic polyester with numerous biomedical applications. PCL membranes show great potential in guided tissue regeneration because they are biocompatible, occlusive and space maintaining, but lack osteoconductivity. Therefore, two different types of mesoporous bioactive glasses (SiO2-CaO-P2O5 and SiO2-SrO-P2O5) were synthesized and incorporated in PCL thin membranes by spin coating. To enhance the osteogenic effect of resulting membranes, the bioglasses were loaded with the bisphosphonate drug ibandronate prior to their incorporation in the polymeric matrix. The effect of the composition of the bioglasses as well as the presence of absorbed ibandronate on the physicochemical, cell attachment and differentiation properties of the PCL membranes was evaluated. Both fillers led to a decrease of the crystallinity of PCL, along with an increase in its hydrophilicity and a noticeable increase in its bioactivity. Bioactivity was further increased in the presence of a Sr substituted bioglass loaded with ibandronate. The membranes exhibited excellent biocompatibility upon estimation of their cytotoxicity on Wharton's Jelly Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (WJ-SCs), while they presented higher osteogenic potential in comparison with neat PCL after WJ-SCs induced differentiation towards bone cells, which was enhanced by a possible synergistic effect of Sr and ibandronate.

Abstract
Human bones have unique structures and characteristics, and replacing a natural bone in the case of bone fracture or bone diseases is a very complicated problem. The main goal of this paper was to summarize the recent research on polymer materials as bone substitutes and for bone repair. Bone treatment methods, bone substitute materials as well as their advantages and drawbacks, and manufacturing methods were reviewed. Biopolymers are the most promising materials in the field of artificial bones and using biopolymers with the shape memory effect can improve the integration of an artificial bone into the human body by better mimicking the structure and properties of natural bones, decreasing the invasiveness of surgical procedures by producing deployable implants. It has been shown that the application of the rapid prototyping technology for artificial bones allows the customization of bone substitutes for a patient and the creation of artificial bones with a complex structure.
