Abstract
Polysaccharides originating from marine sources have been studied as potential material for use in wound dressings because of their desirable characteristics of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low toxicity. Marine-derived polysaccharides used as wound dressing, provide several benefits such as promoting wound healing by providing a moist environment that facilitates cell migration and proliferation. They can also act as a barrier against external contaminants and provide a protective layer to prevent further damage to the wound. Research studies have shown that marine-derived polysaccharides can be used to develop different types of wound dressings such as hydrogels, films, and fibres. These dressings can be personalised to meet specific requirements based on the type and severity of the wound. For instance, hydrogels can be used for deep wounds to provide a moist environment, while films can be used for superficial wounds to provide a protective barrier. Additionally, these polysaccharides can be modified to improve their properties, such as enhancing their mechanical strength or increasing their ability to release bioactive molecules that can promote wound healing. Overall, marine-derived polysaccharides show great promise for developing effective and safe wound dressings for various wound types.

Abstract
Aerogel-based biomaterials are increasingly being considered for biomedical applications due to their unique properties such as high porosity, hierarchical porous network, and large specific pore surface area. Depending on the pore size of the aerogel, biological effects such as cell adhesion, fluid absorption, oxygen permeability, and metabolite exchange can be altered. Based on the diverse potential of aerogels in biomedical applications, this paper provides a comprehensive review of fabrication processes including sol-gel, aging, drying, and self-assembly along with the materials that can be used to form aerogels. In addition to the technology utilizing aerogel itself, it also provides insight into the applicability of aerogel based on additive manufacturing technology. To this end, how microfluidic-based technologies and 3D printing can be combined with aerogel-based materials for biomedical applications is discussed. Furthermore, previously reported examples of aerogels for regenerative medicine and biomedical applications are thoroughly reviewed. A wide range of applications with aerogels including wound healing, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and diagnostics are demonstrated. Finally, the prospects for aerogel-based biomedical applications are presented. The understanding of the fabrication, modification, and applicability of aerogels through this study is expected to shed light on the biomedical utilization of aerogels.

Loofah-chitosan and poly (-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) based hydrogel scaffolds for meniscus tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 221:1171-1183. [PMID: 36087757 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.09.031] [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: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The meniscus is a fibrocartilaginous tissue that is very important for the stability of the knee joint. However, it has a low ability to heal itself, so damage to it will always lead to articular cartilage degeneration. The goal of this study was to make a new type of meniscus scaffold made of chitosan, loofah mat, and PHBV nanofibers, as well as to describe hydrogel composite scaffolds in terms of their shape, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and temperature. Three different concentrations of genipin (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 %) were used and the optimal crosslinker concentration was 0.3 % for Chitosan/loofah (CL) and Chitosan/loofah/PHBV fiber (CLF). Scaffolds were seeded using undifferentiated MSCs and incubated for 21 days to investigate the chondrogenic potential of hydrogel scaffolds. Cell proliferation analyses were performed using WST-1 assay, GAG content was analyzed, SEM and fluorescence imaging observed morphologies and cell attachment, and histological and immunohistochemical studies were performed. The in vitro analysis showed no cytotoxic effect and enabled cells to attach, proliferate, and migrate inside the scaffold. In conclusion, the hydrogel composite scaffold is a promising material for engineering meniscus tissue.

Abstract
The central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord, regulates the mind and functions of the organs. CNS diseases, leading to changes in neurological functions in corresponding sites and causing long-term disability, represent one of the major public health issues with significant clinical and economic burdens worldwide. In particular, the abnormal changes in the extracellular matrix under various disease conditions have been demonstrated as one of the main factors that can alter normal cell function and reduce the neuroregeneration potential in damaged tissue. Decellularised extracellular matrix (dECM)-based biomaterials have been recently utilised for CNS applications, closely mimicking the native tissue. dECM retains tissue-specific components, including proteoglycan as well as structural and functional proteins. Due to their unique composition, these biomaterials can stimulate sensitive repair mechanisms associated with CNS damages. Herein, we discuss the decellularisation of the brain and spinal cord as well as recellularisation of acellular matrix and the recent progress in the utilisation of brain and spinal cord dECM.

Abstract
Fabrication of immunocompatible tissue constructs for bone-cartilage defect regeneration is of prime importance. In this study, a double layer hydrogel was successfully synthesized, where alginate/polyacrylamide were formulated to represent cartilage layer (5-10 % (w/w) total polymer ratio) and laponite XLS (2-5-8% (w/w))/alginate/polyacrylamide formed bone layer. Hydrogels were dried by supercritical CO2 at 100 and 200 bar, 45 °C, 5 g/min CO2 flow rate for 2 h. Constructs were treated with collagen, then cellularized and embedded in cell-laden GelMA to mimic the cellular microenvironment. The optimum weight ratio of alginate/polyacrylamide:laponite XLS was 10:5 based on mechanical strength test results. The constructs yielded high porosity (91.50 m2/g) and mesoporous structure, owing to the diffusivity of CO2 at 200 bar (0.49 × 10-7 m2/s). Constructs were then treated with collagen to increase cell adhesion and ATDC5 cells were seeded in the cartilage layer, whereas hFOB cells to the bone layer. About 10-15 % higher cell viability was attained. The porous structure of the construct allowed infiltration of macrophages, promoted polarization and positively affected the behavior of macrophages, yielding a decrease in M1 markers, whereas an increase in M2 on day 4. The formulated tissue constructs would be of value in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
A comparative analysis concerning bio-based gels production, to be used for tissue regeneration, has been performed in this review. These gels are generally applied as scaffolds in the biomedical field, thanks to their morphology, low cytotoxicity, and high biocompatibility. Focusing on the time interval 2015-2020, the production of 3D scaffolds of alginate, chitosan and agarose, for skin and bone regeneration, has mainly been investigated. Traditional techniques are critically reviewed to understand their limitations and how supercritical CO2-assisted processes could overcome these drawbacks. In particular, even if freeze-drying represents the most widespread drying technique used to produce polysaccharide-based cryogels, supercritical CO2-assisted drying effectively allows preservation of the nanoporous aerogel structure and removes the organic solvent used for gel preparation. These characteristics are essential for cell adhesion and proliferation.

Abstract
Cellulose aerogels (CAs) from plant or bacterial-derived cellulose have advantages such as low density, high porosity, and high specific surface area and have been used in various applications including biomedical fields. One limiting factor in developing CAs is their demanding shaping process since it involves several steps of dissolution/dispersion of cellulose, geometry configurations using molds or nozzles, coagulation and washing of the gel body, and drying techniques. CA fibers can be converted into textiles and enhance the design ability, stiffness, and flexibility of the CAs. This study aims to understand the correlations between the initial cellulose characteristics, aerogel’s internal structure, and its prospective biomedical application. Wet-spun CA fibers were obtained by supercritical CO2 drying from low and high molecular weight microcrystalline cellulose in calcium thiocyanate tetrahydrate solution. Fiber spinning, thermal behavior, textural properties, and biological assessments of the CA fibers were inspected. The CA microfibers from high molecular weight cellulose proved to have a higher surface area (~197 m2/g), denser structure, and finer nanofibrils (~2 nm) with better thermal stability in comparison with the fibers produced from low molecular weight cellulose. The fibers were nontoxic, and cell proliferation was observed over time. CA fibers showed promising results to be used for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering and wound care.

Abstract
A facile and greener methodology to obtain pure chitosan-based 3D porous structures in the form of monoliths and films is proposed. It is based on a modified evaporation-induced phase separation process in a chitosan solution precursor. In this approach, a deep eutectic solvent (DES) is used as the nonsolvent system and an ecofriendly, cost effective, simple and versatile alternative for the production of highly structured chitosan materials. The porous heterogeneous structure can be fine-tuned by varying the chitosan content in the precursor solution and chitosan/DES ratio, and enabled the structured polymer to absorb large amounts of water to form hydrogels. This is a versatile and unexplored approach to design porous chitosan with tailored morphology in the absence of crosslinkers, which, based on preliminary studies on V. cholerae biofilm formation, is expected to open new avenues for various applications in biomedical, catalysis, water purification, filtration and other areas where the control of bacterial biofilm formation is critical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propolis exhibits therapeutic properties due to the presence of phenolic acids, esters, and flavonoids. The scope of this study was to develop a nano-vesicular formulation and establish a three-dimensional (3D) spheroid model in which lung cancer is recapitulated. RESULTS Niosome vesicles doped with galangin-rich propolis extract were synthesized by the ether injection method using a cholesterol : surfactant mass ratio of 1 : 3 at 40 °C for 1 h. Formulated niosomes were administered to 3D lung cancer spheroid model and the cytotoxicity was compared with that of a two-dimensional (2D) setting. The galangin content was determined as 86 μg mg-1 propolis extract by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC). The particle size of loaded niosome was 151 ± 2.84 nm with a polydispersity index (PDI) of about 0.232, and an encapsulation efficiency of 70% was achieved. CONCLUSION The decrease in cell viability and the scattering in the 3D spheroids of A549 lung cancer cells treated with propolis-loaded niosomes were notable, indicating a profound cytotoxic effect and suggesting that they can be utilized as an effective nano-vesicle. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Biopolymers and their applications have been widely studied in recent years. Replacing the oil based polymer materials with biopolymers in a sustainable manner might give not only a competitive advantage but, in addition, they possess unique properties which cannot be emulated by conventional polymers. This review covers the fabrication of porous materials from natural biopolymers (cellulose, chitosan, collagen), synthetic biopolymers (poly(lactic acid), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)) and their composite materials. Properties of biopolymers strongly depend on the polymer structure and are of great importance when fabricating the polymer into intended applications. Biopolymers find a large spectrum of application in the medical field. Other fields such as packaging, technical, environmental, agricultural and food are also gaining importance. The introduction of porosity into a biomaterial broadens the scope of applications. There are many techniques used to fabricate porous polymers. Fabrication methods, including the basic and conventional techniques to the more recent ones, are reviewed. Advantages and limitations of each method are discussed in detail. Special emphasis is placed on the pore characteristics of biomaterials used for various applications. This review can aid in furthering our understanding of the fabrication methods and about controlling the porosity and microarchitecture of porous biopolymer materials.
