Abstract
Quick scarless healing remains a key issue for diabetic wounds. Here, a stretchable elastomeric hydrogel dressing composed of hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), silk nano fiber-magnesium ion complex (Mg2+-SNF) and glycerol (Gly) was developed to optimize mechanical niche, anti-inflammatory and angiogenic behavior simultaneously. The composite hydrogel dressing exhibited skin-like elasticity (175.1 ± 23.9 %) and modulus (156.7 ± 2.5 KPa) while Mg2+-SNF complex endowed the dressing with angiogenesis, both favoring quick scarless skin regeneration. In vitro cell studies revealed that the hydrogel dressing stimulated fibroblast proliferation, endothelial cell migration and vessel-like tube formation, and also induced anti-inflammatory behavior of macrophages. In vivo results revealed accelerated healing of diabetic wounds. The improved granulation ingrowth and collagen deposition suggested high quality repair. Both thinner epidermal layer and low collagen I/III ratio of the regenerated skin confirmed scarless tissue formation. This bioactive hydrogel dressing has promising potential to address the multifaceted challenges of diabetic wound management.

Abstract
Cultivated meat production is a promising technology to generate meat while reducing the reliance on traditional animal farming. Biomaterial scaffolds are critical components in cultivated meat production, enabling cell adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, and orientation. In the present work, naturally derived glutenin was fabricated into films with and without surface patterning and in the absence of toxic cross-linking or stabilizing agents for cell culture related to cultivated meat goals. The films were stable in culture media for at least 28 days, and the surface patterns induced cell alignment and guided myoblast organization (C2C12s) and served as a substrate for 3T3-L1 adipose cells. The films supported adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation with mass balance considerations (films, cells, and matrix production). Freeze-thaw cycles were applied to remove cells from glutenin films and monitor changes in glutenin mass with respect to culture duration. Extracellular matrix (ECM) extraction was utilized to quantify matrix deposition and changes in the original biomaterial mass over time during cell cultivation. Glutenin films with C2C12s showed mass increases with time due to cell growth and new collagen-based ECM expression during proliferation and differentiation. All mass balances were compared among cell and noncell systems as controls, along with gelatin control films, with time-dependent changes in the relative content of film, matrix deposition, and cell biomass. These data provide a foundation for cell/biomaterial/matrix ratios related to time in culture as well as nutritional and textural features.

Abstract
3D printing of titanium (Ti) metal has potential to transform the field of personalised orthopaedics and dental implants. However, the impacts of controlled surface topographical features of 3D printed Ti implants on their interactions with the cellular microenvironment and incorporation of biological growth factors, which are critical in guiding the integration of implants with bone, are not well studied. In the present study, we explore the role of surface topological features of 3D printed Ti implants using an anodised titania nanotube (TiNT) surface layer in guiding their immune cell interaction and ability to deliver bioactive form of growth factors. TiNT layers with precisely controlled pore diameter (between 21and 130 nm) were anodically grown on 3D printed Ti surfaces to impart a nano-micro rough topology. Immune biomarker profiles at gene and protein levels show that anodised 3D Ti surfaces with smaller pores resulted in classical activation of macrophages (M1-like), while larger pores (i.e., >100 nm) promoted alternate activation of macrophages (M2-like). The in vitro bone mineralisation studies using the conditioned media from the immunomodulatory studies elucidate a clear impact of pore diameter on bone mineralisation. The tubular structure of TiNTs was utilised as a container to incorporate recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in the presence of various sugar and polymeric cryoprotectants. Sucrose offered the most sustainable release of preserved BMP-2 from TiNTs. Downstream effects of released BMP-2 on macrophages as well as bone mineralisation were assessed showing bioactivity retention of the released rhBMP-2. Overall, the TiNT surface topography in combination with controlled, sustained, and local release of bioactive growth factors can potentially enhance the osseointegration outcomes of custom 3D printed Ti implants in the clinic.

Abstract
Biomaterials are omnipresent in today's healthcare services and are employed in various applications, including implants, sensors, healthcare accessories, and drug delivery systems. Unfavorable host immunological responses frequently jeopardize the efficacy of biomaterials. As a result, surface modification has received much attention in controlling inflammatory responses since it helps camouflage the biomaterial from the host immune system, influencing the foreign body response (FBR) from protein adsorption to fibrous capsule formation. Surfaces with controlled nanotopography and chemistry, among other surface modification methodologies, have effectively altered the immune response to biomaterials. However, the field is still in its early stages, with only a few studies showing a synergistic effect of surface chemistry and nanotopography on inflammatory and wound healing pathways. Therefore, this review will concentrate on the individual and synergistic effects of surface chemistry and nanotopography on FBR modulation and the molecular processes known to modulate these responses. This review will also provide insights into crucial research gaps and advancements in various tactics for modulating FBR, opening new paths for future research. This will further aid in improving our understanding of the immune response to biomaterials, developing advanced surface modification techniques, designing immunomodulatory biomaterials, and translating discoveries into clinical applications.

Abstract
Wound dressings are important for wound repair. The morphology of the biomaterials used in these dressings, and in particular, the pore structure affects tissue regeneration by facilitating attachment and proliferation of cells due to the hierarchical multiscale, water absorbance, and nutrient transport. In the present study, silk fibroin (SF) sponges with walls containing nanopores (SFNS) were prepared from SF nanoparticles generated during the autoclaving of SF solutions, followed by leaching the SF nanoparticles from the freeze-dried sponges of SF. The nano/microporous structure, biofluid absorbance, and porosity of the SF sponges with and without nanopores were characterized. In vitro cell proliferation, in vivo biocompatibility, and wound healing were evaluated with the sponges. The results demonstrated that SFNS had significantly increased porosity and water permeability, as well as cell attachment and proliferation when compared with SF sponges without the nanopores (SFS). Wound dressings were assessed in a rat skin wound model, and SFNS was superior to SFS in accelerating wound healing, supported by vascularization, deposition of collagen, and increased epidermal thickness over 21 days. Hence, such a dressing material with a hierarchical multiscale pore structure could promote cell migration, vascularization, and tissue regeneration independently without adding any growth factor, which would offer a new strategy to design and engineer better-performed wound dressing.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration (GBR) therapy demonstrates a prominent curative effect on the management of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. In this study, a GBR membrane consisting of a microporous layer and a struvite-nanowire-doped fibrous layer is constructed via non-solvent induced phase separation, followed by an electrospinning procedure to treat critical-sized calvarial defects. The microporous layer shows selective permeability for excluding the rapid-growing non-osteogenic tissues and potential wound stabilization. The nanowire-like struvite is synthesized as the deliverable therapeutic agent within the fibrous layer to facilitate bone regeneration. Such a membrane displays a well-developed heterogeneous architecture, satisfactory mechanical performance, and long-lasting characteristics. The in vitro biological evaluation reveals that apart from being a strong barrier, the bilayer struvite-laden membrane can actively promote cellular adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation. Consequently, the multifunctional struvite-doped membranes are applied to treat 5 mm-sized bilateral calvarial defects in rats, resulting in overall improved healing outcomes compared with the untreated or the struvite-free membrane-treated group, which is characterized by enhanced osteogenesis and significantly increased new bone formation. The encouraging preclinical results reveal the great potential of the bilayer struvite-doped membrane as a clinical GBR device for augmenting large-area CMF bone reconstruction.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis, which typically arises from aging, traumatic injury, or obesity, is the most common form of arthritis, which usually leads to malfunction of the joints and requires medical interventions due to the poor self-healing capacity of articular cartilage. However, currently used medical treatment modalities have reported, at least in part, disappointing and frustrating results for patients with osteoarthritis. Recent progress in the design and fabrication of tissue-engineered microscale/nanoscale platforms, which arises from the convergence of stem cell research and nanotechnology methods, has shown promising results in the administration of new and efficient options for treating osteochondral lesions. This paper presents an overview of the recent advances in osteochondral tissue engineering resulting from the application of micro- and nanotechnology approaches in the structure of biomaterials, including biological and microscale/nanoscale topographical cues, microspheres, nanoparticles, nanofibers, and nanotubes.

Abstract
Cells sense and respond to a variety of physical cues from their surrounding microenvironment, and these are interpreted through mechanotransductive processes to inform their behavior. These mechanisms have particular relevance to stem cells, where control of stem cell proliferation, potency, and differentiation is key to their successful application in regenerative medicine. It is increasingly recognized that surface micro- and nanotopographies influence stem cell behavior and may represent a powerful tool with which to direct the morphology and fate of stem cells. Current progress toward this goal has been driven by combined advances in fabrication technologies and cell biology. Here, the capacity to generate precisely defined micro- and nanoscale topographies has facilitated the studies that provide knowledge of the mechanotransducive processes that govern the cellular response as well as knowledge of the specific features that can drive cells toward a defined differentiation outcome. However, the path forward is not fully defined, and the "bumpy road" that lays ahead must be crossed before the full potential of these approaches can be fully exploited. This review focuses on the challenges and opportunities in applying micro- and nanotopographies to dictate stem cell fate for regenerative medicine. Here, key techniques used to produce topographic features are reviewed, such as photolithography, block copolymer lithography, electron beam lithography, nanoimprint lithography, soft lithography, scanning probe lithography, colloidal lithography, electrospinning, and surface roughening, alongside their advantages and disadvantages. The biological impacts of surface topographies are then discussed, including the current understanding of the mechanotransductive mechanisms by which these cues are interpreted by the cells, as well as the specific effects of surface topographies on cell differentiation and fate. Finally, considerations in translating these technologies and their future prospects are evaluated.

Abstract
Cellular migration plays a vital role in many physiological processes. To elucidate the role of surface nanotopography on the downstream signaling pathways underlying cell migration, model surfaces having well-defined hill-like surface nanotopography and uniform surface chemistry were designed and implemented using plasma polymerization and covalent attachment of nanoparticles of predetermined size. A scratch wound assay, immunostaining, and gene expression of focal adhesion (FA) proteins were performed to determine the influence of surface nanotopography on cell migration. The results of this study demonstrate that the gap closure between cell monolayers is faster on surfaces having greater nanoscale topography. The phenomenon is predominantly driven by cell migration and was independent from cell proliferation. Qualitative and quantitative assessment of proteins involved in the signaling pathways underlying cell migration showed significant modulation by surface nanotopography. Specifically, focal adhesion sites decreased with the increase in surface nanotopography scale while the expression of FA proteins increased. This implies that nanotopography mediated modulation of cell migration is directly governed by the recruitment of receptor and adapter proteins responsible for cell-surface interaction. The results of this study indicate that biomaterial devices and constructs having rationally designed surface nanotopography and chemistry could be utilized to regulate wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid to understanding the individual effects of surface chemistry or topography on cell behavior. However, the synergistic influence of both surface chemistry and surface topography on differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) should also be addressed. Here, gold nanoparticles were immobilized in an increasing number density manner to achieve a surface topography gradient; a thin film rich in amine (-NH2) or methyl (-CH3) chemical groups was plasma-polymerized to adjust the surface chemistry of the outermost layer (ppAA and ppOD, respectively). hMSCs were cultured on these model substrates with defined surface chemistry and surface topography gradient. The morphology and focal adhesion (FA) formation of hMSCs were first examined. hMSC differentiation was then co-induced in osteogenic and adipogenic medium, as well as in the presence of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) and RhoA/Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) inhibitors. The results show that the introduction of nanotopography could enhance FA formation and osteogenesis but inhibited adipogenesis on both ppAA and ppOD surfaces, indicating that the surface chemistry could regulate hMSC differentiation, in a surface topography-dependent manner. RhoA/ROCK and ERK1/2 signaling pathways may participate in this process. This study demonstrated that surface chemistry and surface topography can jointly affect cell morphology, FA formation, and thus osteogenic/adipogenic differentiation of hMSCs. These findings highlight the importance of the synergistic effect of different material properties on regulation of cell response, which has important implications in designing functional biomaterials.

Abstract
Mechanosensing, the ability of cells to perceive and interpret the microenvironmental biophysical cues (such as the nanotopography), impacts strongly cellular behaviour through mechanotransductive processes and signalling. These events are predominantly mediated by integrins, the principal cellular adhesion receptors located at the cell/extracellular matrix (ECM) interface. Because of the typical piconewton force range and nanometre length scale of mechanotransductive interactions, achieving a detailed understanding of the spatiotemporal dynamics occurring at the cell/microenvironment interface is challenging; sophisticated interdisciplinary methodologies are required. Moreover, an accurate control over the nanotopographical features of the microenvironment is essential, in order to systematically investigate and precisely assess the influence of the different nanotopographical motifs on the mechanotransductive process. In this framework, we were able to study and quantify the impact of microenvironmental nanotopography on early cellular adhesion events by means of adhesion force spectroscopy based on innovative colloidal probes mimicking the nanotopography of natural ECMs. These probes provided the opportunity to detect nanotopography-specific modulations of the molecular clutch force loading dynamics and integrin clustering at the level of single binding events, in the critical time window of nascent adhesion formation. Following this approach, we found that the nanotopographical features are responsible for an excessive force loading in single adhesion sites after 20-60 s of interaction, causing a drop in the number of adhesion sites. However, by manganese treatment we demonstrated that the availability of activated integrins is a critical regulatory factor for these nanotopography-dependent dynamics.

Abstract
The stable nitroxide radical TEMPO [(2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl] has a multitude of applications in fields ranging from energy storage to biomedical applications and many more. However, to date, the processes of incorporating nitroxide radicals into thin-film coatings are laborious and not cost-effective, which hinders their wider use in many applications. In contrast, the authors have recently demonstrated the facile method of plasma polymerization of TEMPO into thin-film coatings that retain the stable nitroxide radicals. In this work, we are using three types of mass spectroscopic methods (plasma-mass spectrometry, time of flight secondary ion mass spectrometry, and high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) and electron spin resonance to track the fate of the TEMPO molecule from monomer flask through the plasma and inside the resulting coatings. The results of this study demonstrate that TEMPO is a versatile monomer that can be used across different plasma reactors and reliably retain the stable nitroxide radical in the resulting thin-film coatings if certain process conditions are observed, namely, higher process pressures and lower powers.

Abstract
The development of implantable neuroelectrodes is advancing rapidly as these tools are becoming increasingly ubiquitous in clinical practice, especially for the treatment of traumatic and neurodegenerative disorders. Electrodes have been exploited in a wide number of neural interface devices, such as deep brain stimulation, which is one of the most successful therapies with proven efficacy in the treatment of diseases like Parkinson or epilepsy. However, one of the main caveats related to the clinical application of electrodes is the nervous tissue response at the injury site, characterized by a cascade of inflammatory events, which culminate in chronic inflammation, and, in turn, result in the failure of the implant over extended periods of time. To overcome current limitations of the most widespread macroelectrode based systems, new design strategies and the development of innovative materials with superior biocompatibility characteristics are currently being investigated. This review describes the current state of the art of in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models available for the study of neural tissue response to implantable microelectrodes. We particularly highlight new models with increased complexity that closely mimic in vivo scenarios and that can serve as promising alternatives to animal studies for investigation of microelectrodes in neural tissues. Additionally, we also express our view on the impact of the progress in the field of neural tissue engineering on neural implant research.

Abstract
Skin wound healing is a still long-history challenging problem and impeded by the foreign-body reaction including severe inflammation response, poor neovascularization, incomplete re-epithelialization and defective ECM remodeling. Development of biocompatible polymers, in combination with specific drugs or growth factors, has been considered as a promising strategy to treat skin wounds. Significant research efforts have been made to develop poly(ethylene glycol) PEG-based polymers for wound healing, however less efforts has been paid to zwitterionic materials, some of which have demonstrated their super low-fouling property in vitro and anti-inflammatory property in vivo. Here, we synthesized ultra-low-fouling zwitterionic sulfated poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) hydrogels and applied them to full-thickness cutaneous wounds in mice. The healing effects of SBMA hydrogels on the wound closure, re-epithelialization ratio, ECM remodeling, angiogenesis, and macrophage responses during wound healing processes were histologically evaluated by in vivo experiments. Collective results indicate that SBMA hydrogels promote full-thickness excisional acute wound regeneration in mice by enhancing angiogenesis, decreasing inflammation response, and modulating macrophage polarization. Consistently, the incorporation of SBMA into PEG hydrogels also improved the overall wound healing efficiency as compared to pure PEG hydrogels. This work demonstrates zwitterionic SBMA hydrogels as promising wound dressings for treating full-thickness excisional skin wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Development of highly effective wound regeneration system is practically important for biomedical applications. Here, we synthesized ultra-low-fouling zwitterionic sulfated poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (polySBMA) hydrogels and applied it to full-thickness cutaneous wounds in mice, in comparison with PEG hydrogels as a control. We are the first to examine and reveal the difference between zwitterionic SBMA hydrogels and PEG hydrogels using a full-thickness excisional mice model. Overall, a series of in vivo systematic tests demonstrated that zwitterionic SBMA hydrogels exhibited superior wound healing property in almost all aspects as compared to PEG hydrogels.

Abstract
Protein adsorption to biomaterials is critical in determining their suitability for specific applications, such as implants or biosensors. Here, we show that surface nanoroughness can be tailored to control the covalent binding of proteins to plasma-deposited polyoxazoline (PPOx). Nanoengineered surfaces were created by immobilizing gold nanoparticles varying in size and surface density on PPOx films. To keep the surface chemistry consistent while preserving the nanotopography, all substrates were overcoated with a nanothin PPOx film. Bovine serum albumin was chosen to study protein interactions with the nanoengineered surfaces. The results demonstrate that the amount of protein bound to the surface is not directly correlated with the increase in surface area. Instead, it is determined by nanotopography-induced geometric effects and surface wettability. A densely packed array of 16 and 38 nm nanoparticles hinders protein adsorption compared to smooth PPOx substrates, while it increases for 68 nm nanoparticles. These adaptable surfaces could be used for designing biomaterials where proteins adsorption is or is not desirable.
