Abstract
Fibrin is a promising natural polymer that is widely used for diverse applications, such as hemostatic glue, carrier for drug and cell delivery, and matrix for tissue engineering. Despite the significant advances in the use of fibrin for bioengineering and biomedical applications, some of its characteristics must be improved for suitability for general use. For example, fibrin hydrogels tend to shrink and degrade quickly after polymerization, particularly when they contain embedded cells. In addition, their poor mechanical properties and batch-to-batch variability affect their handling, long-term stability, standardization, and reliability. One of the most widely used approaches to improve their properties has been modification of the structure and composition of fibrin hydrogels. In this review, recent advances in composite fibrin scaffolds, chemically modified fibrin hydrogels, interpenetrated polymer network (IPN) hydrogels composed of fibrin and other synthetic or natural polymers are critically reviewed, focusing on their use for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineering, after decades of exciting progress and monumental breakthroughs, has yet to make a significant impact on patient health. It has become apparent that a dearth of biomaterial scaffolds that possess the material properties of human tissue while remaining bioactive and cytocompatible has been partly responsible for this lack of clinical translation. Herein, we propose the development of interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels as materials that can provide cells with an adhesive extracellular matrix-like 3D microenvironment while possessing the mechanical integrity to withstand physiological forces. These hydrogels can be synthesized from biologically-derived or synthetic polymers, the former polymer offering preservation of adhesion, degradability, and microstructure and the latter polymer offering tunability and superior mechanical properties. We review critical advances in the enhancement of mechanical strength, substrate-scale stiffness, electrical conductivity, and degradation in IPN hydrogels intended as bioactive scaffolds in the past five years. We also highlight the exciting incorporation of IPN hydrogels into state-of-the-art tissue engineering technologies, such as organ-on-a-chip and bioprinting platforms. These materials will be critical in the engineering of functional tissue for transplant, disease modeling, and drug screening.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin methacryloyl (BSAMA) is a newly emerging photocurable globular protein-based material whereas gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) is one of the most popular photocurable fibrous protein-based materials. So far, the influence of their different structural conformations as building blocks on hydrogel properties and mineral deposition has not been investigated. Here, we compared their differences in structures, gelation kinetics, hydrogel properties, mineralization, and cell behaviors. BSAMA maintained a stable globular structure while GelMA exhibited temperature-sensitive conformations (4 - 37 °C). BSAMA displayed slower gelation kinetics and much more retarded enzymatic degradation compared to GelMA. Photocurable BSAMA (6.41 - 390.95 kPa) and GelMA hydrogels (36.09 - 199.70 kPa) exhibited tunable mechanical properties depending on their concentrations (10 - 20%). Interestingly, BSAMA hydrogels mineralized needle-like apatite (Ca/P: 1.409) with higher crystallinity compared to GelMA hydrogels (Ca/P: 1.344). BSAMA and GelMA supported satisfactory cell (MC3T3-L1) viability of 99.43 ± 0.57% and 97.14 ± 0.69%, respectively. However, BSAMA gels were less favorable to cell proliferation and migration than GelMA gels. In serum-free environments, cells on GelMA displayed a higher amount of attachment, a more elongated shape, and a longer protrusion compared to those on BSAMA (p < 0.01) during the early adhesion.

Preparation and Characterization of Plasma-Derived Fibrin Hydrogels Modified by Alginate di-Aldehyde. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23084296.

Abstract
Fibrin hydrogels are one of the most popular scaffolds used in tissue engineering due to their excellent biological properties. Special attention should be paid to the use of human plasma-derived fibrin hydrogels as a 3D scaffold in the production of autologous skin grafts, skeletal muscle regeneration and bone tissue repair. However, mechanical weakness and rapid degradation, which causes plasma-derived fibrin matrices to shrink significantly, prompted us to improve their stability. In our study, plasma-derived fibrin was chemically bonded to oxidized alginate (alginate di-aldehyde, ADA) at 10%, 20%, 50% and 80% oxidation, by Schiff base formation, to produce natural hydrogels for tissue engineering applications. First, gelling time studies showed that the degree of ADA oxidation inhibits fibrin polymerization, which we associate with fiber increment and decreased fiber density; moreover, the storage modulus increased when increasing the final volume of CaCl2 (1% w/v) from 80 µL to 200 µL per milliliter of hydrogel. The contraction was similar in matrices with and without human primary fibroblasts (hFBs). In addition, proliferation studies with encapsulated hFBs showed an increment in cell viability in hydrogels with ADA at 10% oxidation at days 1 and 3 with 80 µL of CaCl2; by increasing this compound (CaCl2), the proliferation does not significantly increase until day 7. In the presence of 10% alginate oxidation, the proliferation results are similar to the control, in contrast to the sample with 20% oxidation whose proliferation decreases. Finally, the viability studies showed that the hFB morphology was maintained regardless of the degree of oxidation used; however, the quantity of CaCl2 influences the spread of the hFBs.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), such as hyaluronic acid (HA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS), have seen widespread adoption as components of tissue engineering scaffolds because of their potent bioactive properties and ease of chemical modification. However, modification of the biopolymers will impair biological recognition of the GAG and reduce the bioactive properties of the material. In this work, we studied how the degree of thiolation of HA and CS, along with other key hydrogel design parameters, affected the physical and bioactive properties of the bulk hydrogel. Although properties, such as the HA molecular weight, did not have a major effect, increasing the degree of thiolation of both HA and CS decreased their biorecognition in experimental analogues for cell/matrix remodeling and binding. Furthermore, combining HA and CS into dual polymer network hydrogels also modulated the physical and bioactive properties, as seen with differences in gel stiffness, degradation rate, and encapsulated cell viability.

Abstract
The success of skin tissue engineering for deep wound healing relies predominantly on the design of innovative and effective biomaterials. This study reports the synthesis and characterization of a new type of naturally-derived and macroporous interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) for skin repair. These biomaterials consist of a biologically active fibrous fibrin network polymerized within a mechanically robust and macroporous construct made of polyethylene glycol and biodegradable serum albumin (PEGDM-co-SAM). First, mesoporous PEGDM-co-SAM hydrogels were synthesized and subjected to cryotreatment to introduce an interconnected macroporous network. Subsequently, fibrin precursors were incorporated within the cryotreated PEG-based network and then allowed to spontaneously polymerize and form a sequential IPN. Rheological measurements indicated that fibrin-based sequential IPN hydrogels exhibited improved and tunable mechanical properties when compared to fibrin hydrogels alone. In vitro data showed that human dermal fibroblasts adhere, infiltrate and proliferate within the IPN constructs, and were able to secrete endogenous extracellular matrix proteins, namely collagen I and fibronectin. Furthermore, a preclinical study in mice demonstrated that IPNs were stable over 1-month following subcutaneous implantation, induced a minimal host inflammatory response, and displayed a substantial cellular infiltration and tissue remodeling within the constructs. Collectively, these data suggest that macroporous and mechanically reinforced fibrin-based sequential IPN hydrogels are promising three-dimensional platforms for dermal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meniscal deficiency from meniscectomy is a common situation in clinical practices. Regeneration of the deficient meniscal portion, however, is still not feasible. PURPOSE To develop an injectable hydrogel system consisting of fibrin (Fb) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) and to estimate its clinical potential for treating a segmental defect of the meniscus in a rabbit meniscal defect model. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. METHODS The Fb/PEO hydrogel was fabricated by extruding 100 mg·mL-1 of fibrinogen solution and 2,500 U·mL-1 of thrombin solution containing 100 mg·mL-1 of PEO through a dual-syringe system. The hydrogels were characterized by rheological analysis and biodegradation tests. The meniscal defects of New Zealand White male rabbits were generated by removing 60% of the medial meniscus from the anterior side. The removed portion included the central portion. The Fb/PEO hydrogel was injected into the meniscal defect of the experimental knee through the joint space between the femoral condyle and tibial plateau at the anterior knee without a skin incision. The entire medial menisci from both knees of each rabbit were collected and photographed before placement in formalin for histological processing. Hematoxylin and eosin, safranin O, and immunohistochemical staining for type II collagen was performed. The biomechanical property of the regenerated meniscus was evaluated using a universal tensile machine. RESULTS The Fb/PEO hydrogel was fabricated by an in situ gelation process, and the hydrogel displayed a semi-interpenetrating polymer network structure. We demonstrated that the mechanical properties of Fb-based hydrogels increased in a PEO-dependent manner. Furthermore, the addition of PEO delayed the biodegradation of the hydrogel. Our in vivo data demonstrated that, as compared with Fb hydrogel, Fb/PEO hydrogel injection into the meniscectomy model showed improved tissue regeneration. The regenerated meniscal tissue by Fb/PEO hydrogel showed enhanced tissue quality, which was supported by the histological and biomechanical properties. CONCLUSION The Fb/PEO hydrogel had an effective tissue-regenerative ability through injection into the in vivo rabbit meniscal defect model. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This injectable hydrogel system can promote meniscal repair and be readily utilized in clinical application.

Abstract
Fibrin gels are of interest as biomaterials for regenerative medicine but present poor mechanical properties, undergo fast degradation and strongly contract in presence of cells. To face these drawbacks, a fibrin network can be associated with another polymer network, in an Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) architecture. In this study, we report the properties of an IPN comprising a fibrin (Fb) network and a silk fibroin (SF) network. This IPN is synthesized through the action of 2 enzymes, each one being specific of one protein gelation, i.e. thrombin (Tb) for Fb gelation, and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) for SF gelation. The effective formation of both Fb and SF networks in an IPN architecture was first verified at qualitative and quantitative levels. The resulting IPN was easily manipulable, displayed high viscoelastic properties and showed homogeneous macro- and micro-structure. Then the degradability of the IPN by two proteases, thermolysin (TL) and trypsin (TRY), obeying different mechanisms was presented. Finally, two-dimensional culture of human fibroblasts on the IPN surface induced little material contraction, while fibroblasts showed healthy morphology, displayed high viability and produced mature extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. Taken together, the results suggest that this new IPN have a strong potential for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Creating and establishing proof of hybrid protein nanofibers (hPNFs), i.e., PNFs that contain more than one protein, is a currently unsolved challenge in bioinspired materials science. Such hPNFs could serve as universal building blocks for the bottom-up preparation of functional materials with bespoke properties. Here, inspired by the protein assemblies occurring in nature, we introduce hPNFs created via a facile self-assembly route and composed of human serum albumin (HSA) and human hemoglobin (HGB) proteins. Our circular dichroism results shed light on the mechanism of the proteins' self-assembly into hybrid nanofibers, which is driven by electrostatic/hydrophobic interactions between similar amino acid sequences (protein handshake) exposed to ethanol-triggered protein denaturation. Based on nanoscale characterization with tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) and immunogold labeling, our results demonstrate the existence and heterogenic nature of the hPNFs and reveal the high HSA/HGB composition ratio, which is attributed to the fast self-assembling kinetics of HSA. The self-assembled hPNFs with a high aspect ratio of over 100 can potentially serve as biocompatible units to create larger bioactive structures, devices, and sensors.

Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) have gained great attention for a number of biomedical applications due to their improved properties compared to individual components alone. In this study, we investigated the capacity of newly-developed naturally-derived IPNs as potential biomaterials for tissue engineering. These IPNs combine the biologic properties of a fibrous fibrin network polymerized at the nanoscale and the mechanical stability of polyethylene oxide (PEO). First, we assessed their cytotoxicity in vitro on L929 fibroblasts. We further evaluated their biocompatibility ex vivo with a chick embryo organotypic culture model. Subcutaneous implantations of the matrices were subsequently conducted on nude mice to investigate their biocompatibility in vivo. Our preliminary data highlighted that our biomaterials were non-cytotoxic (viability above 90%). The organotypic culture showed that the IPN matrices induced higher cell adhesion (across all the explanted organ tissues) and migration (skin, intestine) than the control groups, suggesting the advantages of using a biomimetic, yet mechanically-reinforced IPN-based matrix. We observed no major inflammatory response up to 12 weeks post implantation. All together, these data suggest that these fibrin-based IPNs are promising biomaterials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
AbstractHydrogels are a versatile tool for a multitude of applications in biomedical research and clinical practice. Especially collagen and fibrin hydrogels are distinguished by their excellent biocompatibility, natural capacity for cell adhesion and low immunogenicity. In many ways, collagen and fibrin represent an ideal biomaterial, as they can serve as a scaffold for tissue regeneration and promote the migration of cells, as well as the ingrowth of tissues. On the other hand, pure collagen and fibrin materials are marked by poor mechanical properties and rapid degradation, which limits their use in practice. This paper will review methods of modification of natural collagen and fibrin materials to next-generation materials with enhanced stability. A special focus is placed on biomedical products from fibrin and collagen already on the market. In addition, recent research on the in vivo applications of collagen and fibrin-based materials will be showcased.
