Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 262:129684. [PMID: 38307741 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.129684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/21/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
Incorporation of growth factors, signaling molecules and drugs can be vital for the success of tissue engineering in complex structures such as the dentoalveolar region. This has led to the development of a variety of drug release systems. This study aimed to develop pNIPAM-methylcellulose microgels with different synthesis parameters based on a 23 full factorial design of experiments for this application. Microgel properties, including volume phase transition temperature (VPTT), hydrodynamic size, drug loading and release, and cytocompatibility were systematically evaluated. The results demonstrated successful copolymerization and development of the microgels, a hydrodynamic size ranging from ∼200 to ∼500 nm, and VPTT in the range of 34-39 °C. Furthermore, loading of genipin, capable of inducing odontoblastic differentiation, and its sustained release over a week was shown in all formulations. Together, this can serve as a solid basis for the development of tunable drug-delivering pNIPAM-methylcellulose microgels for specific tissue engineering applications.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 166:115301. [PMID: 37562236 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115301] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 07/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/05/2023] [Indexed: 08/12/2023] Open
Abstract
The utilization of growth factors in the process of tissue regeneration has garnered significant interest and has been the subject of extensive research. However, despite the fervent efforts invested in recent clinical trials, a considerable number of these studies have produced outcomes that are deemed unsatisfactory. It is noteworthy that the trials that have yielded the most satisfactory outcomes have exhibited a shared characteristic, namely, the existence of a mechanism for the regulated administration of growth factors. Despite the extensive exploration of drug delivery vehicles and their efficacy in delivering certain growth factors, the development of a reliable predictive approach for the delivery of delicate growth factors like Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) remains elusive. VEGF plays a crucial role in promoting angiogenesis; however, the administration of VEGF demands a meticulous approach as it necessitates precise localization and transportation to a specific target tissue. This process requires prolonged and sustained exposure to a low concentration of VEGF. Inaccurate administration of drugs, either through off-target effects or inadequate delivery, may heighten the risk of adverse reactions and potentially result in tumorigenesis. At present, there is a scarcity of technologies available for the accurate encapsulation of VEGF and its subsequent sustained and controlled release. The objective of this review is to present and assess diverse categories of VEGF administration mechanisms. This paper examines various systems, including polymeric, liposomal, hydrogel, inorganic, polyplexes, and microfluidic, and evaluates the appropriate dosage of VEGF for multiple applications.

Abstract
Novel tissue regeneration strategies are constantly being developed worldwide. Research on bone regeneration is noteworthy, as many promising new approaches have been documented with novel strategies currently under investigation. Innovative biomaterials that allow the coordinated and well-controlled repair of bone fractures and bone loss are being designed to reduce the need for autologous or allogeneic bone grafts eventually. The current engineering technologies permit the construction of synthetic, complex, biomimetic biomaterials with properties nearly as good as those of natural bone with good biocompatibility. To ensure that all these requirements meet, bioactive molecules are coupled to structural scaffolding constituents to form a final product with the desired physical, chemical, and biological properties. Bioactive molecules that have been used to promote bone regeneration include protein growth factors, peptides, amino acids, hormones, lipids, and flavonoids. Various strategies have been adapted to investigate the coupling of bioactive molecules with scaffolding materials to sustain activity and allow controlled release. The current manuscript is a thorough survey of the strategies that have been exploited for the delivery of biomolecules for bone regeneration purposes, from choosing the bioactive molecule to selecting the optimal strategy to synthesize the scaffold and assessing the advantages and disadvantages of various delivery strategies.

Abstract
The use of hydrogel (HG) in regenerative medicine is an emerging field and thus several approaches have been proposed recently to find an appropriate hydrogel system. In this sense, this study developed a novel HG system using collagen, chitosan, and VEGF composites for culturing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and investigated their ability for osteogenic differentiation and mineral deposition. Our results showed that the HG loaded with 100 ng/mL VEGF (HG-100) significantly supported the proliferation of undifferentiated MSCs, the fibrillary filament structure (HE stain), mineralization (alizarin red S and von Kossa stain), alkaline phosphatase, and the osteogenesis of differentiated MSCs compared to other hydrogels (loaded with 25 and 50 ng/mL VEGF) and control (without hydrogel). HG-100 showed a higher VEGF releasing rate from day 3 to day 7 than other HGs, which substantially supports the proliferative and osteogenic properties of HG-100. However, the HGs did not increase the cell growth in differentiated MSCs on days 14 and 21 due to the confluence state (reach stationary phase) and cell loading ability, regardless of the VEGF content. Similarly, the HGs alone did not stimulate the osteogenesis of MSCs; however, they increased the osteogenic ability of MSCs in presence of osteogenic supplements. Accordingly, a fabricated HG with VEGF could be used as an appropriate system to culture stem cells for bone and dental regeneration.

Abstract
PNIPAM as a stimuli-responsive polymer has generated extreme interests due to its versatile applications. However, there is no research report on whether PNIPAM micro/nano-particles can be extracted from its suspension after phase separation. In the present work, LCST-type phase separation in self-synthesized PNIPAM/water system was investigated in depth by dividing the DLS testing process into four stages. In addition to quenching duration, temperature rise process, quenching temperature and PNIPAM concentration all have a great influence on particle size of the suspension. Meanwhile, the steady-state rheology and dynamic viscoelasticity results show that PNIPAM micro/nano-particles in the suspension are "soft" that can deform. Finally, FE-SEM was used to observe the morphology of dehydrated PNIPAM extracted by sessile droplet evaporation under different conditions. The results indicate that these "soft" particles are easier to fuse together, do not have sufficient mechanical strength to maintain their spherical morphology after dehydration. But the above fusion can be suppressed by adjusting evaporation conditions to acquire smaller PNIPAM particles which have sufficient mechanical properties to keep their basic particle morphology. Further, by changing evaporation pressure to positive or negative pressure, dehydrated PNIPAM micro/nano-particles with excellent uniformity and separation can be obtained. This work will provide guidance for extracting micro/nano-particles from polymer/diluent systems with LCST.

Abstract
Stem cells are valuable tools in regenerative medicine because they can generate a wide variety of cell types and tissues that can be used to treat or replace damaged tissues and organs. However, challenges related to the application of stem cells in the scope of regenerative medicine have urged scientists to utilize nanomedicine as a prerequisite to circumvent some of these hurdles. Nanomedicine plays a crucial role in this process and manipulates surface biology, the fate of stem cells, and biomaterials. Many attempts have been made to modify cellular behavior and improve their regenerative ability using nano-based strategies. Notably, nanotechnology applications in regenerative medicine and cellular therapies are controversial because of ethical and legal considerations. Therefore, this review describes nanotechnology in cell-based applications and focuses on newly proposed nano-based approaches. Cutting-edge strategies to engineer biological tissues and the ethical, legal, and social considerations of nanotechnology in regenerative nanomedicine applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a vital biological process involving blood vessels forming from pre-existing vascular systems. This process contributes to various physiological activities, including embryonic development, hair growth, ovulation, menstruation, and the repair and regeneration of damaged tissue. On the other hand, it is essential in treating a wide range of pathological diseases, such as cardiovascular and ischemic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, malignancies, ophthalmic and retinal diseases, and other chronic conditions. These diseases and disorders are frequently treated by regulating angiogenesis by utilizing a variety of pro-angiogenic or anti-angiogenic agents or molecules by stimulating or suppressing this complicated process, respectively. Nevertheless, many traditional angiogenic therapy techniques suffer from a lack of ability to achieve the intended therapeutic impact because of various constraints. These disadvantages include limited bioavailability, drug resistance, fast elimination, increased price, nonspecificity, and adverse effects. As a result, it is an excellent time for developing various pro- and anti-angiogenic substances that might circumvent the abovementioned restrictions, followed by their efficient use in treating disorders associated with angiogenesis. In recent years, significant progress has been made in different fields of medicine and biology, including therapeutic angiogenesis. Around the world, a multitude of research groups investigated several inorganic or organic nanoparticles (NPs) that had the potential to effectively modify the angiogenesis processes by either enhancing or suppressing the process. Many studies into the processes behind NP-mediated angiogenesis are well described. In this article, we also cover the application of NPs to encourage tissue vascularization as well as their angiogenic and anti-angiogenic effects in the treatment of several disorders, including bone regeneration, peripheral vascular disease, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic stroke, rheumatoid arthritis, post-ischemic cardiovascular injury, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, gene delivery-based angiogenic therapy, protein delivery-based angiogenic therapy, stem cell angiogenic therapy, and diabetic retinopathy, cancer that may benefit from the behavior of the nanostructures in the vascular system throughout the body. In addition, the accompanying difficulties and potential future applications of NPs in treating angiogenesis-related diseases and antiangiogenic therapies are discussed.

Abstract
In this study, macroporous pH-sensitive poly[N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid-sorbitan monooleate] hydrogels, termed as PNIPAM-co-AAc-Span80 hydrogels, with an enhanced hydrophobic property and a rich pore structure were prepared by free-radical polymerization in an ethanol/water mixture. The polymerizable surfactant AAc-Span80 was obtained by the esterification of acrylic acid (AAc) and sorbitan monooleate (Span80), which was used to copolymerize with N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM). The chemical structure, thermal stability, morphology, and amphipathy of the PNIPAM-co-AAc-Span80 hydrogels were characterized. The results showed that the polymerizable surfactant AAc-Span80 macromolecule introduced into the hydrogels could not only increase the hydrophobic property but also ameliorate the porous network morphology, which was conducive to high adsorption capacity for adriamycin hydrochloride (DOX). The adsorption results showed that the equilibrium adsorption capacity of DOX reached 467.5 mg g−1 within 48 h at pH 7.4, and the hydrophobic interactions and intermolecular hydrogen bonds were the main force in the adsorption process of DOX. The release results demonstrated that the macroporous pH-sensitive hydrogels loaded with DOX could release 98.7% of DOX at pH 5.0, which would be highly beneficial for the release of anti-cancer drugs in the environment of cancer cells. All the results demonstrate that the PNIPAM-co-AAc-Span80 hydrogels have great potential for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs. PNIPAM-co-AAc-Span80 shows an enhanced hydrophobic property, rich pore structure, and good adsorption performance for DOX. The desorption results demonstrate that 98.7% of DOX can be released efficiently in an acidic environment.![]()

Abstract
A prominent research topic in contemporary advanced functional materials science is the production of smart materials based on polymers that may independently adjust their physical and/or chemical characteristics when subjected to external stimuli. Smart hydrogels based on poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) demonstrate distinct thermoresponsive features close to a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) that enhance their capability in various biomedical applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound dressings. Nevertheless, they have intrinsic shortcomings such as poor mechanical properties, limited loading capacity of actives, and poor biodegradability. Formulation of PNIPAM with diverse functional constituents to develop hydrogel composites is an efficient scheme to overcome these defects, which can significantly help for practicable application. This review reports on the latest developments in functional PNIPAM-based smart hydrogels for various biomedical applications. The first section describes the properties of PNIPAM-based hydrogels, followed by potential applications in diverse fields. Ultimately, this review summarizes the challenges and opportunities in this emerging area of research and development concerning this fascinating polymer-based system deep-rooted in chemistry and material science.

Application of biomolecules modification strategies on PEEK and its composites for osteogenesis and antibacterial properties. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 215:112492. [PMID: 35430485 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112492] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
As orthopedic and dental implants, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is expected to be a common substitute material of titanium (Ti) and its alloys due to its good biocompatibility, chemical stability, and elastic modulus close to that of bone tissue. It could avoid metal allergy and bone resorption caused by the stress shielding effect of Ti implants, widely studied in the medical field. However, the lack of biological activity is not conducive to the clinical application of PEEK implants. Therefore, the surface modification of PEEK has increasingly become one of the research hotspots. Researchers have explored various biomolecules modification methods to effectively enhance the osteogenic and antibacterial activities of PEEK and its composites. Therefore, this review mainly summarizes the recent research of PEEK modified by biomolecules and discusses the further research directions to promote the clinical transformation of PEEK implants.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering is a complex domain that requires further investigation and benefits from data obtained over past decades. The models are increasing in complexity as they reveal new data from co-culturing and microfluidics applications. The in vitro models now focus on the 3D medium co-culturing of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes utilizing collagen for separation; this type of research allows for controlled medium and in-depth data analysis. Oxidative stress takes a toll on the domain, being beneficial as well as destructive. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are molecules that influence the differentiation of osteoclasts, but over time their increasing presence can affect patients and aid the appearance of diseases such as osteoporosis. Oxidative stress can be limited by using antioxidants such as vitamin K and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC). Scaffolds and biocompatible coatings such as hydroxyapatite and bioactive glass are required to isolate the implant, protect the zone from the metallic, ionic exchange, and enhance the bone regeneration by mimicking the composition and structure of the body, thus enhancing cell proliferation. The materials can be further functionalized with growth factors that create a better response and higher chances of success for clinical use. This review highlights the vast majority of newly obtained information regarding bone tissue engineering, such as new co-culturing models, implant coatings, scaffolds, biomolecules, and the techniques utilized to obtain them.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells owing to their regenerative potential and multilineage potency. MSCs have wide-scale applications either in their native cellular form or in conjugation with specific biomaterials as nanocomposites. Majorly, these natural or synthetic biomaterials are being used in the form of metallic and non-metallic nanoparticles (NPs) to encapsulate MSCs within hydrogels like alginate or chitosan or drug cargo loading into MSCs. In contrast, nanofibers of polymer scaffolds such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), silk fibroin, collagen, chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid (HA), and cellulose are used to support or grow MSCs directly on it. These MSCs based nanotherapies have application in multiple domains of biomedicine including wound healing, bone and cartilage engineering, cardiac disorders, and neurological disorders. This study focused on current approaches of MSCs-based therapies and has been divided into two major sections. The first section elaborates on MSC-based nano-therapies and their plausible applications including exosome engineering and NPs encapsulation. The following section focuses on the various MSC-based scaffold approaches in tissue engineering. Conclusively, this review mainly focused on MSC-based nanocomposite's current approaches and compared their advantages and limitations for building effective regenerative medicines.

Abstract
Bone is a highly vascularized tissue, and its development, maturation, remodeling, and regeneration are dependent on a tight regulation of blood vessel supply. This condition also has to be taken into consideration in the context of the development of artificial tissue substitutes. In classic tissue engineering, bone-forming cells such as primary osteoblasts or mesenchymal stem cells are introduced into suitable scaffolds and implanted in order to treat critical-size bone defects. However, such tissue substitutes are initially avascular. Because of the occurrence of hypoxic conditions, especially in larger tissue substitutes, this leads to the death of the implanted cells. Therefore, it is necessary to devise vascularization strategies aiming at fast and efficient vascularization of implanted artificial tissues. In this review article, we present and discuss the current vascularization strategies in bone tissue engineering. These are based on the use of angiogenic growth factors, the co-implantation of blood vessel forming cells, the ex vivo microfabrication of blood vessels by means of bioprinting, and surgical methods for creating surgically transferable composite tissues.

Abstract
The introduction of nanoparticles into bone tissue engineering strategies is beneficial to govern cell fate into osteogenesis and the regeneration of large bone defects. The present study explored the role of nanoparticles to advance osteogenesis with a focus on the cellular and molecular pathways involved. Pubmed, Pubmed Central, Embase, Scopus, and Science Direct databases were explored for those published articles relevant to the involvement of nanoparticles in osteogenic cellular pathways. As multifunctional compounds, nanoparticles contribute to scaffold-free and scaffold-based tissue engineering strategies to progress osteogenesis and bone regeneration. They regulate inflammatory responses and osteo/angio/osteoclastic signaling pathways to generate an osteogenic niche. Besides, nanoparticles interact with biomolecules, enhance their half-life and bioavailability. Nanoparticles are promising candidates to promote osteogenesis. However, the interaction of nanoparticles with the biological milieu is somewhat complicated, and more considerations are recommended on the employment of nanoparticles in clinical applications because of NP-induced toxicities.

Abstract
As the material transportation system of the human body, the vascular network carries the transportation of materials and nutrients. Currently, the construction of functional microvascular networks is an urgent requirement for the development of regenerative medicine and in vitro drug screening systems. How to construct organs with functional blood vessels is the focus and challenge of tissue engineering research. Here in this review article, we first introduced the basic characteristics of blood vessels in the body and the mechanism of angiogenesis in vivo, summarized the current methods of constructing tissue blood vessels in vitro and in vivo, and focused on comparing the functions, applications and advantages of constructing different types of vascular chips to generate blood vessels. Finally, the challenges and opportunities faced by the development of this field were discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The use of growth factors in tissue engineering is often challenging due to their instability and short half-life. The delivery of growth factors with nanocarriers can eliminate these problems. In the present study, we introduced an alginate oxide particle in acellular collagen-alginate composite hydrogel platform for the immobilization and controlled release of VEGF and bFGF to promote angiogenesis. METHODS The particles were prepared by the oxidation of sodium alginate. Then, they were embedded in collagen-alginate hydrogel. Cytocompatibility of the construct with the human umbilical vein endothelial cells was analyzed through a live/dead assay and scanning electron microscopy. In vitro evaluation of VEGF and bFGF Release Kinetics was done. Moreover, the function of the constructs was confirmed through the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. RESULTS The engineered constructs maintained the human umbilical vein endothelial cells viability, which indicates the non-toxicity of the tested constructs. The presence of VEGF-loaded particles could improve the Total Branching Points in the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. In this regard, Total Branching Points was significantly improved in the VEGF group compared to the control group (p = 0.010) and FGF group (p = 0.023). CONCLUSION The results demonstrated the potential role of these particles in regenerative medicine to improve angiogenesis.

Abstract
In this work, we show synthesis that leads to thermoreponsive poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide (pNIPAM) nanogels with sizes below 100 nm, irrespectively of the surfactant to crosslinker ratio. We also show that in many environments the temperature induced pNIPAM collapse at Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) of 32.5 °C is accompanied by gel nanoparticles' aggregation. Thus, the proper information on the nanoparticle (NP) structure and deswelling can be obtained only if the routinely measured hydrodynamic radius is supplemented by information on the molecular weight, which can be obtained from the intensity of scattered light. We measured the dynamics and reversibility of the deswelling and subsequent aggregation processes. Furthermore, we show that the highly concentrated pNIPAM gel NPs reversibly form bulk hydrogel networks of varied interconnected porous structure. We show, that in case of drying pNIPAM gel NPs above the LCST, it is possible to obtain films with 20-fold increase in storage modulus (G') compared to hydrogel networks measured at room temperature. They exhibit temperature hysteresis behavior around LCST of 32.5 °C similar to pNIPAM films. Finally, we show that these hydrogel films, lead to extended proliferation of cells across three different types: fibroblast, endothelial and cancer cells. Additionally, none of the films exhibited any cytotoxic effects. Our study brings new insights into physicochemical characterization of pNIPAM gel NPs and networks behavior in realistic conditions of in vitro measurements, especially by means of dynamic light scattering as well as final unique properties of both gel NPs and formed porous films for possible tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
To date, the recovery of large bone defects is a major clinical challenge despite the availability of numerous therapeutic procedures including tissue engineering. Although there is a pressing need for large tissue-engineered constructs, inadequate vascularization remains an insurmountable barrier for successful clinical translation. Considering that vascularization is a prerequisite for osteogenesis, we proposed an advanced design of large customized porous β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) scaffolds with biomimetic vascular hierarchy which upon embedding of femoral axial vascular bundles significantly improved overall vascularity of the scaffolds. Such scaffolds also promoted osteogenesis when they were coated with recombinant bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2). Compared to the conventional TCP scaffolds (S), the newly designed multi-channeled β-TCP (CS) scaffolds led to adequate blood vessels and bone-like tissue formation throughout their porous hierarchy within 4 weeks of implantation. Especially, the scaffolds coated with rhBMP-2 and embedded with flow-through vascular bundle (FVB) were able to form more uniform vascularized bone within 2 weeks post-implantation. Based on the clinical, radiographic, angiographic and histological assessments, the newly designed multi-channeled scaffolds were found to be promising for successful recovery of large bone defects.

Abstract
Biomaterial based reconstruction is still the most commonly employed method of small bone defect reconstruction. Bone tissue-engineered techniques are improving, and adjuncts such as vascularization technologies allow re-evaluation of traditional reconstructive methods for healingofcritical-sized bone defect. Slow infiltration rate of vasculogenesis after cell-seeded scaffold implantation limits the use of clinically relevant large-sized scaffolds. Hence, in vitro vascularization within the tissue-engineered bone before implantation is required to overcome the serious challenge of low cell survival rate after implantation which affects bone tissue regeneration and osseointegration. Mechanobiological interactions between cells and microvascular mechanics regulate biological processes regarding cell behavior. In addition, load-bearing scaffolds demand mechanical stability properties after vascularization to have adequate strength while implanted. With the advent of bioreactors, vascularization has been greatly improved by biomechanical regulation of stem cell differentiation through fluid-induced shear stress and synergizing osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation in multispecies coculture cells. The benefits of vascularization are clear: avoidance of mass transfer limitation and oxygen deprivation, a significant decrease in cell necrosis, and consequently bone development, regeneration and remodeling. Here, we discuss specific techniques to avoid pitfalls and optimize vascularization results of tissue-engineered bone. Cell source, scaffold modifications and bioreactor design, and technique specifics all play a critical role in this new, and rapidly growing method for bone defect reconstruction. Given the crucial importance of long-term survival of vascular network in physiological function of 3D engineered-bone constructs, greater knowledge of vascularization approaches may lead to the development of new strategies towards stabilization of formed vascular structure.

Abstract
Biomimetic hydrogels have emerged as the most useful tissue engineering scaffold materials. Their versatile chemistry can recapitulate multiple physical and chemical features to integrate cells, scaffolds, and signaling molecules for tissue regeneration. Due to their highly hydrophilic nature hydrogels can recreate nutrient-rich aqueous environments for cells. Soluble regulatory molecules can be incorporated to guide cell proliferation and differentiation. Importantly, the controlled dynamic parameters and spatial distribution of chemical cues in hydrogel scaffolds are critical for cell-cell communication, cell-scaffold interaction, and morphogenesis. Herein, we review biomimetic hydrogels that provide cells with spatiotemporally controlled chemical cues as tissue engineering scaffolds. Specifically, hydrogels with temporally controlled growth factor-release abilities, spatially controlled conjugated bioactive molecules/motifs, and targeting delivery and reload properties for tissue engineering applications are discussed in detail. Examples of hydrogels that possess clinically favorable properties, such as injectability, self-healing ability, stimulus-responsiveness, and pro-remodeling features, are also covered.

Abstract
Growth factors (GFs) play a crucial role in directing stem cell behavior and transmitting information between different cell populations for tissue regeneration. However, their utility as therapeutics is limited by their short half-life within the physiological microenvironment and significant side effects caused by off-target effects or improper dosage. "Smart" materials that can not only sustain therapeutic delivery over a treatment period but also facilitate on-demand release upon activation are attracting significant interest in the field of GF delivery for tissue engineering. Three properties are essential in engineering these "smart" materials: 1) the cargo vehicle protects the encapsulated therapeutic; 2) release is targeted to the site of injury; 3) cargo release can be modulated by disease-specific stimuli. The aim of this review is to summarize the current research on stimuli-responsive materials as intelligent vehicles for controlled GF delivery; Five main subfields of tissue engineering are discussed: skin, bone and cartilage, muscle, blood vessel, and nerve. Challenges in achieving such "smart" materials and perspectives on future applications of stimuli-responsive GF delivery for tissue regeneration are also discussed.

Abstract
After surgical resection for a bone tumor, the uncleared bone tumor cells can multiply and cause recurrence of the bone tumor. It is worthwhile to design a scaffold that kills the remaining bone tumor cells and repairs bone defects that were given rise to by surgical resection. Additionally, it is extremely important to consider the function of angiogenesis in the process of bone regeneration because the newly formed blood vessels can offer the nutrients for bone regeneration. In this work, a novel metal-organic framework Cu-TCPP nanosheets interface-structured β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) (Cu-TCPP-TCP) scaffold was successfully prepared through integrating a 3D-printing technique with an in-situ growth method in a solvothermal system. Owing to the excellent photothermal effect of Cu-TCPP nanosheets, Cu-TCPP-TCP scaffolds that were illuminated by near-infrared (NIR) light demonstrated photothermal performance, which was well regulated through varying the contents of Cu-TCPP nanosheets, and the ambient humidity and power density of NIR light. When cultured with osteosarcoma cells, Cu-TCPP-TCP scaffolds killed a significant quantity of osteosarcoma cells through released heat energy after exposure to NIR light with power density 1.0 W cm-2 and duration 10 min. Similarly, Cu-TCPP-TCP scaffolds ablated subcutaneous bone tumor tissues on the backs of naked mice and suppressed their growth because of the heat energy transformed from NIR light. I n-vitro studies found that Cu-TCPP-TCP scaffolds ably supported the attachments of both human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), and significantly stimulated expressions of osteogenesis differentiation-related genes in HBMSCs and angiogenesis differentiation-related genes in HUVECs. After implanting Cu-TCPP-TCP scaffolds into the bone defects of rabbits, they effectively promoted bone regeneration. Thus, the integration of the bone-forming bioactivity of TCP scaffolds with the photothermal properties of Cu-TCPP nanosheets and angiogenesis activity of Cu ions makes Cu-TCPP-TCP scaffolds multifunctional, representing a new horizon to develop biomaterials for simultaneously curing bone tumors and repairing bone defects.

Abstract
Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) are important for postnatal angiogenesis and are suitable for use in construction of blood vessels by tissue engineering. The present study aimed to investigate the influence of recombination signal binding protein for immunoglobulin kappa J region (RBP-JK) on the differentiation of BM-MSCs into vascular endothelial cells, and to assess the underlying mechanisms. BM-MSCs were isolated and identified by flow cytometry. Lentiviral vectors encoding RBP-JK shRNA (shRBPJK) were constructed to knockdown RBP-JK expression and endothelial differentiation of BM-MSCs was induced. The experimental groups were treated with: empty lentiviral vector (vector group), growth factors (bFGF and VEGF; induced group), shRBPJK (shRBPJK group), and growth factors + shRBPJK (induced + shRBPJK group). The expression of endothelial markers, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (Flk-1), and von Willebrand factor (vWF) were detected by immunofluorescence. Additionally, in vitro blood vessel formation and phagocytosis were assessed using acetylated LDL, Dil complex and the underlying molecular mechanisms evaluated by western blotting. BM-MSCs were separated and transduced with shRBPJK to reduce RBP-JK expression. Compared with the vector group, the expression of the endothelial cell markers, Flk-1 and vWF, in vitro tubule formation, and phagocytosis ability increased, while the expression levels of p-AKT/AKT and p-NF-κB/NF-κB were significantly decreased (P<0.05) in the induced, shRBPJK, and induced + shRBPJK groups. Compared with the induced group, the expression of Flk-1 and vWF, the number of tubules, and phagocytosis were higher in the induced + shRBPJK group, while the expression levels of p-AKT/AKT and p-NF-κB/NF-κB were lower (P<0.05). Collectively, the present data indicated that silencing of RBP-JK promotes the differentiation of MSCs into vascular endothelial cells, and this process is likely regulated by AKT/NF-κB signaling.

Abstract
Bone and osteochondral defects represent one of the major causes of disabilities in the world. Derived from traumas and degenerative pathologies, these lesions cause severe pain, joint deformity, and loss of joint motion. The standard treatments in clinical practice present several limitations. By producing functional substitutes for damaged tissues, tissue engineering has emerged as an alternative in the treatment of defects in the skeletal system. Despite promising preliminary clinical outcomes, several limitations remain. Nanotechnologies could offer new solutions to overcome those limitations, generating materials more closely mimicking the structures present in naturally occurring systems. Nanostructures comparable in size to those appearing in natural bone and cartilage have thus become relevant in skeletal tissue engineering. In particular, nanoparticles allow for a unique combination of approaches (e.g. cell labelling, scaffold modification or drug and gene delivery) inside single integrated systems for optimized tissue regeneration. In the present review, the main types of nanoparticles and the current strategies for their application to skeletal tissue engineering are described. The collection of studies herein considered confirms that advanced nanomaterials will be determinant in the design of regenerative therapeutic protocols for skeletal lesions in the future.

Abstract
Controlled release of functional factors contributes to target migration of therapeutic cells and plays a crucial role in the in situ vascularization of tissue repair and regeneration. A biomedical application requires the selective release of multiple factors which will guide the synergy of the cells. Here, we developed an injectable system based on a temperature-responsive hydrogel and stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1)/vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) loaded into two types of nanoparticles to induce migration and rapid proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and endothelial cells (ECs) via selective SDF-1/VEGF release. Series of in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that our composited system can accurately guide MSCs and ECs for vascularization. In addition, the properties of the nanoparticles and hydrogel, including micro/nanoscales, characteristic of charge, and biocompatibility, played crucial roles for the selective release and cells behavior (target migration and rapid proliferation).

Abstract
Advances in nanoparticle (NP) production and demand for control over nanoscale systems have had significant impact on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). NPs with low toxicity, contrasting agent properties, tailorable characteristics, targeted/stimuli-response delivery potential, and precise control over behavior (via external stimuli such as magnetic fields) have made it possible their use for improving engineered tissues and overcoming obstacles in TERM. Functional tissue and organ replacements require a high degree of spatial and temporal control over the biological events and also their real-time monitoring. Presentation and local delivery of bioactive (growth factors, chemokines, inhibitors, cytokines, genes etc.) and contrast agents in a controlled manner are important implements to exert control over and monitor the engineered tissues. This need resulted in utilization of NP based systems in tissue engineering scaffolds for delivery of multiple growth factors, for providing contrast for imaging and also for controlling properties of the scaffolds. Depending on the application, materials, as polymers, metals, ceramics and their different composites can be utilized for production of NPs. In this review, we will cover the use of NP systems in TERM and also provide an outlook for future potential use of such systems.
