Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF)-based electroactive biomaterials with favorable electroconductive property and transparency have great potential applications for cell culture and tissue engineering. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is an excellent candidate as a conductive component, which has been widely used in the field of bioelectronics; however, it is hard to be directly coated onto the surface of regenerated SF (RSF) materials with good stability under a cell culture environment. In this study, a one-step facile PEDOT:PSS modification approach for RSF films based on a suitable post-treatment process of RSF was developed. PEDOT:PSS was successfully embedded and fixed into the shallow surface of an RSF film, forming a tightly conjunct conductive layer on the film surface based on the conformation transition of RSF during the post-treatment process. The conductive layer demonstrated a PSS-rich surface and a PEDOT-rich bulk structure and showed excellent stability under a cell culture environment. More specifically, the robust RSF/PEDOT:PSS film achieved in the post-treatment formula with 70% ethanol proportion possessed best comprehensive properties such as a sheet resistance of 3.833 × 103 Ω/square, a conductivity of 1.003 S/cm, and transmittance over 80% at maximum in the visible range. This kind of electroactive biomaterial also showed good electrochemical stability and degradable properties. Moreover, pheochromocytoma-derived cell line (PC12) cells were cultured on the RSF/PEDOT:PSS film, and an effective electrical stimulation cell response was demonstrated. The facile preparation strategy and the good electroconductive property and transparency make this RSF/PEDOT:PSS film an ideal candidate for neuronal tissue engineering and further for biomedical applications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the biocompatibility of electrospun regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) mats with inner ear progenitors, especially their effect on the differentiation of inner ear progenitors into hair cells. METHODS Neonatal mouse cochleae (n = 20) were collected and digested and allowed to form spheres over several days. Cells digested from the spheres were then seeded onto aligned or random RSF mats, with laminin-coated coverslips serving as controls. The inner ear progenitor cell mortality was examined by TUNEL labeling, and the adhesion of cells to the RSF mats or coverslip was determined by scanning electron microscopy. Finally, the number of hair cells that differentiated from inner ear progenitors was determined by Myosin7a expression. Unpaired Student's t-tests and one-way ANOVA followed by a Dunnett's multiple comparisons test were used in this study (p < 0.05). RESULTS After 5 days of culture, the inner ear progenitors had good adhesion to both the aligned and random RSF mats and there was no significant difference in TUNEL+ cells between the mats compared to the coverslip (p > 0.05). After 7 days of in vitro differentiation culture, the percentage of differentiated hair cells on the control, aligned, and random RSF mats was 2.5 ± 0.5%, 2.7 ± 0.4%, and 2.4 ± 0.2%, respectively, and there was no significant difference between Myosin7a+ cells on either RSF mat compared to controls (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION The aligned and random RSF mats had excellent biocompatibility with inner ear progenitors and helped the inner ear progenitors maintain their stemness. Our results thus indicate that RSF mats represent a useful scaffold for the development of new strategies for inner ear tissue engineering research.

Abstract
Generally, electrospun silk fibroin scaffolds collected by traditional plates present limited pore size and mechanical properties, which may restrict their biomedical applications. Herein, regenerated Antheraea pernyi silk fibroin (RASF) with excellent inherent cell adhesion property was chosen as a raw material and the conductive metal meshes were used as collectors to prepare modified RASF scaffolds by electrospinning from its aqueous solution. A traditional intact plate was used as a control. The morphology and mechanical properties of the obtained scaffolds were investigated. Schwann cells were further used to assess the cytocompatibility and cell migration ability of the typical scaffolds. Interestingly, compared with the traditional intact plate, the mesh collector with an appropriate gap size (circa 7 mm) could significantly improve the pore size, porosity and mechanical properties of the RASF scaffolds simultaneously. In addition, the scaffold collected under this condition (RASF-7mmG) showed higher cell viability, deeper cell permeation and faster cell migration of Schwann cells. Combined with the excellent inherent properties of ASF and the obviously enhanced scaffold cytocompatibility and mechanical properties, the RASF-7mmG scaffold is expected to be a candidate with great potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Most tissue-engineered blood vessels are endothelialized by static cultures in vitro. However, it has not been clear whether endothelial cell-shedding and local damage may occur in an endothelial layer formed by static cultures under the effect of blood flow shear postimplantation. In this study, we report a bionic and cost-effective vascular chip platform, and proved that a static culture of endothelialized tissue-engineered blood vessels had the problem of a large number of endothelial cells falling off under the condition imitating the human arterial blood flow, and we addressed this challenge by regulating the flow field in a vascular chip. Electrospun membranes made of highly oriented or randomly distributed poly(ε-caprolactone) fibers were used as the vascular scaffolds, on which endothelial cells proliferated well and eventually formed dense intima layers. We noted that the monolayers gradually adapted to the artery-like microenvironment through the regulation of chip flow field, which also revealed improved cellular orientations. In conclusion, we have proposed a vascular chip with adaptive flow patterns to gradually accommodate the statically cultured vascular endothelia to the shear environment of arterial flow field and enhanced the orientation of the endothelial cells. This strategy may find numerous potential applications such as screening of vascular engineering biomaterials and maturation parameters, studying of vascular biology and pathology, and construction of vessel-on-a-chip models for drug analysis, among others.

Abstract
We developed a stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1α)-aligned silk fibroin (SF)/three-dimensional porous bladder acellular matrix graft (3D-BAMG) composite scaffold for long-section ventral urethral regeneration and repair in vivo. SDF-1α-aligned SF microfiber/3D-BAMG, aligned SF microfiber/3D-BAMG, and nonaligned SF microfiber/3D-BAMG scaffolds were prepared using electrostatic spinning and wet processing. Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) and bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) migration was assessed in the SDF-1α-loaded scaffolds. Sustained SDF-1α release in vitro and vivo was analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and western blotting, respectively. The scaffolds were used to repair a 1.5 × 1 cm2 ventral urethral defect in male rabbits in vivo. General observation and retrograde urinary tract contrast assessment were used to examine urethral lumen patency and continuity at 1 and 3 months post-surgery. Postoperative rehabilitation was evaluated using histological detection. The composite scaffolds sustained SDF-1α release for over 16 days in vitro. SDF-1α-aligned SF nanofiber promoted regeneration of urethral mucosa, submucosal smooth muscles, and microvasculature, increased cellular proliferation, and reduced collagen deposition. SDF-1α expression was increased in reconstructed urethra at 3 months post-surgery in SDF-1α-aligned SF group. SDF-1α-aligned SF microfiber/3D-BAMG scaffolds may be used to repair and reconstruct long urethral defects because they accelerate urethral regeneration.

Abstract
In-stent restenosis caused by tumor ingrowth is a major problem for patients undergoing stent placement because conventional stents often lack sustainable antitumor capabilities. The aim of this work is to develop a silk fibroin (SF)-based nanofibrous membrane that is loaded with combined-therapy drugs by using electrospinning technologies, which is further coated on a polydioxanone (PDO) stent and used for the treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC). In order to improve treatment effectiveness, a combination of therapeutic drugs, i.e., curcumin (CUR) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is dissolved into SF solution and then eletrospun onto the surface of the PDO stent. The morphology, secondary structure, and in vitro drug release profiles of the membranes are characterized. The antitumor efficacy is assessed in vitro and in vivo using a human CRC cell line and normal cells, and tumor-bearing nude mice. In vitro and in vivo studies on the nanofibrous memembrane-coating demonstrate improved antitumor effects for the CUR/5-FU dual drug system which can be attributed to cell cycle arrest in the S phase in association with induced apoptosis in tumor cells by blocking signal transducer and activator of transcription3 (Stat3) and nuclear factor kappa beta (NF-kB) signaling pathways, suggesting potential in the treatment of CRC in the future.

Abstract
Various attractive materials are being used in bioelectronics recently. In this paper, hydroxymethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT-OH) has been in situ integrated and polymerized on the surface of the regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) film to construct a biocompatible electrode. In order to improve the efficiency of in situ polymerization, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was adopted as surfactant to construct a well-organized and stable poly(hydroxymethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT-OH) coating, whereas ammonium persulfate was used as oxidant. The effects of dosages of surfactant and oxidant, initial pH value, and monomer concentration on the polymerization were studied. Under the optimal conditions, the RSF/PEDOT-OH film exhibited a square resistance of 3.28 × 105 Ω corresponding to a conductance of 6.1 × 10-3 S/cm. Scanning electron microscope images indicated that PEDOT-OH was deposited uniformly on the surface of the RSF film with SDS. Furthermore, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed that interactions existed between the peptide linkages of silk fibroin (SF) macromolecules and PEDOT-OH. The RSF/PEDOT-OH film displayed favorable electrochemical stability, biocompatibility, and fastness. This study provides a feasible method to endow conductivity to RSF materials in various forms. In addition, the conductive layer and biocompatible silk substrate make the RSF/PEDOT-OH biomaterial highly suitable for potential applications in bioelectric devices, sensors, and tissue engineering.

Effects of SiO 2 micropillar arrays on endothelial cells' morphology. N Biotechnol 2016; 33:781-789.

Abstract
Native tissues are highly organised at the microscale, so that modulating scaffold microarchitecture is a potent tool to mimic natural tissue structures. Moreover, three-dimensional microtopographical features are now being used to elucidate how extracellular physical cues can directly modulate cell behaviour and organise complex cellular processes such as cell differentiation and tissue organisation. Recent advances in microtechnology have allowed the development of platforms that can be used to further understand and control the complex interactions occurring between biointerfaces and living cells. In this paper, we discuss the use of three-dimensional microstructured substrates such as silicon dioxide micropillars, to interface with living cells. Human aortic endothelial cells were used to assess the biocompatibility of these substrates. Methodological investigations were performed to determine the influence of substrate topography on cell adhesion and growth. The changes on cell spreading and cell morphology induced by the substrates were qualified and quantified using scanning electron and fluorescence confocal microscopy.
