Abstract
In the past decade, there has been significant progress in 3D printing research for tissue engineering (TE) using biomaterial inks made from natural and synthetic compounds. These constructs can aid in the regeneration process after tissue loss or injury, but achieving high shape fidelity is a challenge as it affects the construct's physical and biological performance with cells. In parallel with the growth of 3D bioprinting approaches, some marine-origin polymers have been studied due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low immunogenicity, and similarities to human extracellular matrix components, making them an excellent alternative to land mammal-origin polymers with reduced disease transmission risk and ethical concerns. In this research, collagen from shark skin, chitosan from squid pens, and fucoidan from brown algae were effectively blended for the manufacturing of an adequate biomaterial ink to achieve a printable, reproducible material with a high shape fidelity and reticulated using four different approaches (phosphate-buffered saline, cell culture medium, 6% CaCl2, and 5 mM Genipin). Materials characterization was composed by filament collapse, fusion behavior, swelling behavior, and rheological and compressive tests, which demonstrated favorable shape fidelity resulting in a stable structure without deformations, and interesting shear recovery properties around the 80% mark. Additionally, live/dead assays were conducted in order to assess the cell viability of an immortalized human mesenchymal stem cell line, seeded directly on the 3D printed constructs, which showed over 90% viable cells. Overall, the Roswell Park Memorial Institute cell culture medium promoted the adequate crosslinking of this biopolymer blend to serve the TE approach, taking advantage of its capacity to hamper pH decrease coming from the acidic biomaterial ink. While the crosslinking occurs, the pH can be easily monitored by the presence of the indicator phenol red in the cell culture medium, which reduces costs and time.

Abstract
Catheters and ureteric stents have played a vital role in relieving urinary obstruction in many urological conditions. With the increasing use of urinary catheters/stents, catheter/stent-related complications such as infection and encrustation are also increasing because of their design defects. Long-term use of antibiotics and frequent replacement of catheters not only increase the economic burden on patients but also bring the pain of catheter replacement. This is unfavorable for patients with long indwelling catheters or stents but inconvenient to replace. In recent years, some promising technologies and mechanisms have been used to prevent infection and encrustation, mainly drug loading coatings, functional coatings, biodegradable polymers and metallic materials for urinary devices. Obvious effects in anti-encrustation and anti-infection experiments of the above strategies in vivo or in vitro have been conducted, which is very helpful for further clinical trials. This review mainly introduces catheter/stent technology and mechanisms in the past ten years to address the potential impact of anti-encrustation coating of catheter/stent materials for the prevention of encrustation and to analyze the progress made in this field.

Abstract
In the recent decade, marine origin products have been growingly studied as building blocks complying with the constant demand of the biomedical sector regarding the development of new devices for Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM). In this work, several combinations of marine collagen-chitosan-fucoidan hydrogel were formed using a newly developed eco-friendly compressive and absorption methodology to produce hydrogels (CAMPH), which consists of compacting the biopolymers solution while removing the excess of water. The hydrogel formulations were prepared by blending solutions of 5% collagen from jellyfish and/or 3% collagen from blue shark skin, with solutions of 3% chitosan from squid pens and solutions of 10% fucoidan from brown algae, at different ratios. The biopolymer physico-chemical characterization comprised Amino Acid analysis, ATR-FTIR, CD, SDS-PAGE, ICP, XRD, and the results suggested the shark/jellyfish collagen(s) conserved the triple helical structure and had similarities with type I and type II collagen, respectively. The studied collagens also contain a denaturation temperature of around 30-32 °C and a molecular weight between 120 and 125 kDa. Additionally, the hydrogel properties were determined by rheology, water uptake ability, degradation rate, and SEM, and the results showed that all formulations had interesting mechanical (strong viscoelastic character) and structural stability properties, with a significant positive highlight in the formulation of H3 (blending all biopolymers, i.e., 5% collagen from jellyfish, 3% collagen from skin shark, 3% chitosan and 10% of fucoidan) in the degradation test, that shows a mass loss around 18% over the 30 days, while the H1 and H2, present a mass loss of around 35% and 44%, respectively. Additionally, the in vitro cellular assessments using chondrocyte cells (ATDC5) in encapsulated state revealed, for all hydrogel formulations, a non-cytotoxic behavior. Furthermore, Live/Dead assay and Phalloidin/DAPI staining, to assess the cytoskeletal organization, proved that the hydrogels can provide a suitable microenvironment for cell adhesion, viability, and proliferation, after being encapsulated. Overall, the results show that all marine collagen (jellyfish/shark)-chitosan-fucoidan hydrogel formulations provide a good structural architecture and microenvironment, highlighting the H3 biomaterial due to containing more polymers in their composition, making it suitable for biomedical articular cartilage therapies.

Abstract
The demand for tissue and organ transplantation worldwide has led to an increased interest in the development of new therapies to restore normal tissue function through transplantation of injured tissue with biomedically engineered matrices. Among these developments is decellularization, a process that focuses on the removal of immunogenic cellular material from a tissue or organ. However, decellularization is a complex and often harsh process that frequently employs techniques that can negatively impact the properties of the materials subjected to it. The need for a more benign alternative has driven research on supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) assisted decellularization. scCO2 can achieve its critical point at relatively low temperature and pressure conditions, and for its high transfer rate and permeability. These properties make scCO2 an appealing methodology that can replace or diminish the exposure of harsh chemicals to sensitive materials, which in turn could lead to better preservation of their biochemical and mechanical properties. The presented review covers relevant literature over the last years where scCO2-assisted decellularization is employed, as well as discussing major topics such as the mechanism of action behind scCO2-assisted decellularization, CO2 and cosolvents' solvent properties, effect of the operational parameters on decellularization efficacy and on the material's properties.

Abstract
The body's self-repair capacity is limited, including injuries on articular cartilage zones. Over the past few decades, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM) has focused its studies on the development of natural biomaterials for clinical applications aiming to overcome this self-therapeutic bottleneck. This review focuses on the development of these biomaterials using compounds and materials from marine sources that are able to be produced in a sustainable way, as an alternative to mammal sources (e.g., collagens) and benefiting from their biological properties, such as biocompatibility, low antigenicity, biodegradability, among others. The structure and composition of the new biomaterials require mimicking the native extracellular matrix (ECM) of articular cartilage tissue. To design an ideal temporary tissue-scaffold, it needs to provide a suitable environment for cell growth (cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation), towards the regeneration of the damaged tissues. Overall, the purpose of this review is to summarize various marine sources to be used in the development of different tissue-scaffolds with the capability to sustain cells envisaging cartilage tissue engineering, analysing the systems displaying more promising performance, while pointing out current limitations and steps to be given in the near future.

Abstract
The utilization of marine-based collagen is growing fast due to its unique properties in comparison with mammalian-based collagen such as no risk of transmitting diseases, a lack of religious constraints, a cost-effective process, low molecular weight, biocompatibility, and its easy absorption by the human body. This article presents an overview of the recent studies from 2014 to 2020 conducted on collagen extraction from marine-based materials, in particular fish by-products. The fish collagen structure, extraction methods, characterization, and biomedical applications are presented. More specifically, acetic acid and deep eutectic solvent (DES) extraction methods for marine collagen isolation are described and compared. In addition, the effect of the extraction parameters (temperature, acid concentration, extraction time, solid-to-liquid ratio) on the yield of collagen is investigated. Moreover, biomaterials engineering and therapeutic applications of marine collagen have been summarized.

Abstract
Spinal fusion (SF) surgery relies on medical hardware such as screws, cages and rods, complemented by bone graft or substitute, to stabilize the interventioned spine and achieve adequate bone ingrowth. SF is technically demanding, lengthy and expensive. Advances in material science and processing technologies, proposed herein, allowed the development of an adhesive polymeric foam with the potential to dismiss the need for invasive hardware in SF. Herein, 3D foams of polycaprolactone doped with polydopamine and polymethacrylic acid (PCL pDA pMAA) were created. For immediate bone stabilization, in situ hardening of the foam is required; therefore, a portable high-pressure device was developed to allow CO2 foaming within bone defects. Foams were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Adhesive properties of PCL pDA pMAA outperformed PCL when tested using glass surfaces (p < 0.001) or spinal plugs (p < 0.05). No cytotoxicity was observed, and bioactivity was confirmed by the CaP layer formed upon 7 days immersion in simulated body fluid. As proof of concept, PCL pDA pMAA was extruded in-between ex vivo porcine vertebrae, and micro-computed tomography revealed similar properties to those of trabecular bone. This novel system presents great promise for instrumentation-free interbody fusion.

Abstract
The wound healing process involves highly complex and dynamic events that allow the re-establishment of skin's structural integrity. To further improve or to overcome the drawbacks associated with this process, researchers have been focused on the development of new therapeutics. Among them, asymmetric membranes are currently one of the most promising approaches to be used in wound healing due to its structural similarities with the epidermal and dermal layers of the native skin. The outer layer of asymmetric membranes provides a barrier that protects the wound from external damages (e.g. microorganisms and chemical agents), whereas the interior porous layer acts as template for supporting cell adhesion, migration and proliferation. Among the different materials used to produce these distinct layers, the chitosan arises as one of the preeminent materials due to its inherent biocompatibility, antibacterial, hemostatic, and healing properties. Therefore, in this review, it is provided an overview of the different chitosan-based asymmetric membranes developed for wound dressing applications. Further, the chitosan modifications to enhance its bioactivity as well as the asymmetric membranes general properties and production techniques are also described.

Abstract
Platelet lysates (PLs) are a natural source of growth factors (GFs) known for its stimulatory role on stem cells which can be obtained after activation of platelets from blood plasma. The possibility to use PLs as growth factor source for tissue healing and regeneration has been pursued following different strategies. Platelet lysates are an enriched pool of growth factors which can be used as either a GFs source or as a three-dimensional (3D) hydrogel. However, most of current PLs-based hydrogels lack stability, exhibiting significant shrinking behavior. This chapter focuses on the application of supercritical fluid technology to develop three-dimensional architectures of PL constructs, crosslinked with genipin. The proposed technology allows in a single step operation the development of mechanically stable porous structures, through chemical crosslinking of the growth factors present in the PL pool, followed by supercritical drying of the samples. Furthermore gradient structures of PL-based structures with bioactive glass are also presented and are described as an interesting approach to the treatment of osteochondral defects.
