Abstract
Additive manufacturing, widely known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the production of biomaterials. While conventional 3D-printed structures are perceived as static, 4D printing introduces the ability to fabricate materials capable of self-transforming their configuration or function over time in response to external stimuli such as temperature, light, or electric field. This transformative technology has garnered significant attention in the field of biomedical engineering due to its potential to address limitations associated with traditional therapies. Here, we delve into an in-depth review of 4D-printing systems, exploring their diverse biomedical applications and meticulously evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. We emphasize the novelty of this review paper by highlighting the latest advancements and emerging trends in 4D-printing technology, particularly in the context of biomedical applications.

Abstract
There is an increasing medical need for the development of new materials that could replace damaged organs, improve healing of critical wounds or provide the environment required for the formation of a new healthy tissue. The three-dimensional (3D) printing approach has emerged to overcome several of the major deficiencies of tissue engineering. The use of Cannabis sativa as a therapy for some diseases has spread throughout the world thanks to its benefits for patients. In this work, we developed a bioink made with gelatin and alginate that was able to be printed using an extrusion 3D bioprinter. The scaffolds obtained were lyophilized, characterized and the swelling was assessed. In addition, the scaffolds were loaded with Cannabis sativa oil extract. The presence of the extract provided antimicrobial and antioxidant activity to the 3D scaffolds. Altogether, our results suggest that the new biocompatible material printed with 3D technology and with the addition of Cannabis sativa oil could become an attractive alternative to common treatments of soft-tissue infections and wound repair.

Abstract
Bone is a hierarchical material that has inspired the design of biopolymer-derived biocomposites for tissue engineering purposes. The present study sought to synthesize and perform the physicochemical characterization and biocompatibility of a collagen-silica-based biocomposite for potential application in bone tissue engineering. Ultrastructure, biodegradability, swelling behavior, and biocompatibility properties were analyzed to gain insight into the advantages and limitations to the use of this biomaterial as a bone substitute. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed a packed-collagen fibril matrix and silica particles in the biocomposite three-dimensional structure. As shown by analysis of in vitro swelling behavior and biodegradability, it would seem that the material swelled soon after implantation and then suffered degradation. Biocompatibility properties were analyzed in vivo 14-days postimplantation using an experimental model in Wistar rats. The biocomposite was placed inside the hematopoietic bone marrow compartment of both tibiae (n = 16). Newly formed woven bone was observed in response to both materials. Unlike the pure-collagen-tissue interface, extensive areas of osseointegration were observed at the biocomposite-tissue interface, which would indicate that silica particles stimulated new bone formation. Agglomerates of finely particulate material with no inflammatory infiltrate or multinucleated giant cells were observed in the bone marrow implanted with the biocomposite. The biocomposite showed good biocompatibility properties. Further studies are necessary to evaluate their biological behavior over time.

Abstract
Collagen mineralization is a biological process in many skeletal elements in the animal kingdom. Examples of these collagen-based skeletons are the siliceous spicules of glass sponges or the intrafibrillar hydroxyapatite platelets in vertebrates. The mineralization of collagen in vitro has gained interest for two reasons: understanding the processes behind bone formation and the synthesis of scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this paper, the efforts toward collagen mineralization in vitro are reviewed. First, general introduction toward collagen type I, the main component of the extracellular matrix in animals, is provided, followed by a brief overview of collagenous skeletons. Then, the in vitro mineralization of collagen is critically reviewed. Due to their biological abundance, hydroxyapatite and silica are the focus of this review. To a much lesser extent, also some efforts with other minerals are outlined. Combining all minerals and the suggested mechanisms for each mineral, a general mechanism for the intrafibrillar mineralization of collagen is proposed. This review concludes with an outlook for further improvement of collagen-based tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) is the most important complication in cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation surgery, mainly stemming from the adhesion, proliferation, and transdifferentiation of the postsurgically residual lens epithelial cells (LECs). Previous investigations mainly focused on the hydrophilic surface modification of the IOLs for PCO prevention, such as heparinization. However, the long-term clinical investigations show that there is no significant difference between pristine and heparinized IOLs. In the present study, a synergetic coating with properties of drug-eluting and hydrophilicity was designed and modified onto the IOL surface via facile dopamine self-polymerization. The antiproliferative drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded when a polydopamine (PDA) coating was formed on the IOL surface. The hydrophilic 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) could be subsequently grafted onto the drug-loaded PDA coating surface easily. The hydrophilic outer layer could slow down drug-eluting from underneath the drug-incorporated coating. In vitro and in vivo investigations demonstrated that such multifunctionalized coating-modified IOLs could not only thoroughly and effectively prevent PCO development by induced cell apoptosis but also render safety and biocompatibility to the surrounding tissues.

Abstract
Hemostatic materials based on collagen and chitin are commonly assessed with regard to their topical absorbability and bioactivity. However, their clinical application faces challenges such as relatively long hemostatic and wound healing times, single function, as well as wound bleeding in patients with blood diseases. Herein, a novel bio-inspired "cotton-like" collagen aggregate/chitin based biomaterial for rapid hemostatic and tissue repair (V-3D-Ag-col) was fabricated by a specific gradient-removal solvent approach. Significantly, for the first time, an advanced collagen aggregate (Ag-col) composed of typical D-periodic cross-striated collagen fibrils and thick collagen fiber bundles was used instead of traditional collagen molecules (Col) to construct a hemostatic material. The target material showed a biomimetic 3D microstructure and "cotton-like" appearance, as expected, which were conducive to platelet adhesion and aggregation. The fabricated V-3D-Ag-col exhibited superior thermo-stability, hemostatic activity and biodegradability. More importantly, V-3D-Ag-col could significantly promote cell growth and proliferation. Further, V-3D-Ag-col could accelerate the wound healing process better than the same material based on conventional collagen (V-3D-Col). In consequence, V-3D-Ag-col has the potential to become a new generation of collagen-absorbable functional hemostatic materials. Furthermore, Ag-col can replace the currently available conventional collagen materials as raw materials for the new generation of collagen-based biomedical materials.
