Abstract
Microbial biofilm is undoubtedly a challenging problem in the food industry. It is closely associated with human health and life, being difficult to remove and antibiotic resistance. Therefore, an alternate method to solve these problems is needed. Nitric oxide (NO) as an antimicrobial agent, has shown great potential to disrupt biofilms. However, the extremely short half-life of NO in vivo (2 s) has facilitated the development of relatively more stable NO donors. Recent studies reported that NO could permeate biofilms, causing damage to cellular biomacromolecules, inducing biofilm dispersion by quorum sensing (QS) pathway and reducing intracellular bis-(3'-5')-cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) levels, and significantly improving the bactericidal effect without drug resistance. In this review, biofilm hazards and formation processes are presented, and the characteristics and inhibitory effects of NO donors are carefully discussed, with an emphasis on the possible mechanisms of NO resistance to biofilms and some advanced approaches concerning the remediation of NO donor deficiencies. Moreover, the future perspectives, challenges, and limitations of NO donors were summarized comprehensively. On the whole, this review aims to provide the application prospects of NO and its donors in the food industry and to make reliable choices based on these available research results.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can compromise the physical and biological functionalities of humans and pose a huge economical and psychological burden on infected patients. Nitric oxide (NO) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, whose mechanism of action is not affected by bacterial resistance. S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), an endogenous donor and carrier of NO, has gained increasing attention because of its potent antibacterial activity and efficient biocompatibility. Significant breakthroughs have been made in the application of GSNO in biomaterials. This review is based on the existing evidence that comprehensively summarizes the progress of antimicrobial GSNO applications focusing on their anti-infective performance, underlying antibacterial mechanisms, and application in anti-infective biomaterials. We provide an accurate overview of the roles and applications of GSNO in antibacterial biomaterials and shed new light on the avenues for future studies.

Abstract
Clinical applications of scaffolds and implants have been associated with bacterial infection resulting in impaired tissue regeneration. Nanofibers provide a versatile structure for both antimicrobial molecule delivery and tissue engineering. In this study, the nitric oxide (NO) donor molecule S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) and the natural biodegradable polymer zein (ZN) were combined with silk fibroin (SF) to develop antibacterial and biodegradable nanofibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. The compatibility and intermolecular interactions of SF and ZN were studied using differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The incorporation of ZN increased the hydrophobicity of the fibers and resulted in a more controlled and prolonged NO release profile lasting for 48 h. Moreover, the degradation kinetics of the fibers was significantly improved after blending with ZN. The results of tensile testing indicated that the addition of ZN and GSNO had a positive effect on the strength and stretchability of SF fibers and did not adversely affect their mechanical properties. Finally, due to the antibacterial properties of both NO and ZN, the SF-ZN-GSNO fibers showed a synergistically high antibacterial efficacy with 91.6 ± 2.5% and 77.5 ± 3.1% reduction in viability of adhered Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli after 24 h exposure, respectively. The developed NO-releasing fibers were not only antibacterial but also non-cytotoxic and successfully enhanced the proliferation and growth of fibroblast cells, which was quantitatively studied by a CCK-8 assay and visually observed through fluorescent staining. Overall, SF-ZN-GSNO fibers developed in this study were biodegradable and highly antibacterial and showed great cytocompatibility with fibroblasts, indicating their promising potential for a range of tissue engineering and medical device applications.

Abstract
Demineralization and breakdown of tooth enamel are characterized by a condition called dental caries or tooth decay, which is caused by two main factors: (1) highly acidic food intake without proper oral hygiene and (2) overactive oral bacteria generating acidic metabolic byproducts. Fluoride treatments have been shown to help rebuild the hydroxyapatite structures that make up 98% of enamel but do not tackle the bacterial overload that continues to threaten future demineralization. Herein, we have created a dual-function Pluronic F127-alginate hydrogel with nitric oxide (NO)- and fluoride-releasing capabilities for the two-pronged treatment of dental caries. Analysis of the hydrogels demonstrated porous, shear-thinning behaviors with tunable mechanical properties. Varying the weight percent of the NO donor S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) within the hydrogel enabled physiologically actionable NO release over 4 h, with the fabricated gels demonstrating storage stability over 21 days. This NO-releasing capability resulted in a 97.59% reduction of viable Streptococcus mutans in the planktonic state over 4 h and reduced the preformed biofilm mass by 48.8% after 24 h. Delivery of fluoride ions was confirmed by a fluoride-sensitive electrode, with release levels resulting in the significant prevention of demineralization of hydroxyapatite discs after treatment with an acidic demineralization solution. Exposure to human gingival fibroblasts and human osteoblasts showed cytocompatibility of the hydrogel, demonstrating the potential for the successful treatment of dental caries in patients.

Abstract
Bacterial contamination of biomaterials is a common problem and a serious threat to human health worldwide. Therefore, the development of multifunctional biomaterials that possess antibacterial properties and can resist infection is a continual goal for biomedical applications. Silk fibroin (SF), approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a biomaterial, is one of the most widely studied natural polymers for biomedical applications due to its unique mechanical properties, biocompatibility, tunable biodegradation, and versatile material formats. In the last decade, many methods have been employed for the development of antibacterial SF-based biomaterials (SFBs) such as physical loading or chemical functionalization of SFBs with different antibacterial agents and bio-inspired surface modifications. In this review, we first describe the current understanding of the composition and structure-properties relationship of SF as a leading-edge biomaterial. Then we demonstrate the different antibacterial agents and methods implemented for the development of bactericidal SFBs, their mechanisms of action, and different applications. We briefly address their fabrication methods, advantages, and limitations, and finally discuss the emerging technologies and future trends in this research area.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the principal reasons for the failure of tissue engineering scaffolds. Therefore, the development of multifunctional scaffolds that not only are able to guide tissue regeneration but also can inhibit bacterial colonization is of great importance for tissue engineering applications. In this study, a highly antibacterial, biocompatible, and biodegradable scaffold based on silk fibroin (SF) and gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) was prepared. Sequential cross-linking of GelMA and SF under UV irradiation and methanol treatment, respectively, resulted in the formation of interpenetrating network (IPN) hydrogels with a porous structure. In addition, impregnation of the hydrogels with a nitric oxide (NO) donor molecule, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP), led to the development of NO-releasing scaffolds with strong antibacterial properties. According to the obtained results, the addition of SF to GelMA hydrogels caused an enhancement in the mechanical properties and NO release kinetics and prevented their rapid enzymatic degradation in aqueous media. Furthermore, swelling the GelMA-SF scaffolds with SNAP resulted in a bacteria reduction efficiency of >99.9% against Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacteria. The scaffolds also showed great cytocompatibility in vitro by increasing the proliferation and supporting the adhesion of 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells. Overall, GelMA-SF-SNAP showed great promise to be used as a scaffold for tissue engineering and wound healing applications.

Abstract
Attachment of a nitric oxide (NO) donor to an electrospun polymer has the potential to improve its proliferative and antimicrobial capabilities. This study presents the novel, covalent attachment of S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) to polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. By attaching the NO donor to the polymer, rather than blending it, leaching is reduced to maintain a NO flux within the physiologically relevant range for a longer duration, while limiting any cytotoxic effects. The synthesized fibers were characterized using a variety of techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, 1H NMR, and drop shape analysis. Due to the antimicrobial activity of NO, the SNAP-PAN fibers demonstrated a 2-log reduction of S. aureus adhesion. Furthermore, the extended zone of inhibition of S. aureus by SNAP-PAN demonstrates the ability of NO to impact the environment surrounding the material, in addition to the environment in direct contact with it. The combination of NO release, hydrophilicity of PAN, and the fibrous network led to increased fibroblast proliferation and attachment, potentially expanding the fibers as an improved cell scaffolding platform. The results from this study demonstrate a novel preparation and design of NO-releasing fibers to provide multiple benefits for a variety of biomedical applications.
