Abstract
There is a demand to design microparticles holding surface topography while presenting inherent bioactive cues for applications in the biomedical and biotechnological fields. Using the pool of proteins present in human-derived platelet lysates (PLs), the production of protein-based microparticles via a simple and cost-effective method is reported, exploring the prone redox behavior of cysteine (Cy-SH) amino acid residues. The forced formation of new intermolecular disulfide bonds results in the precipitation of the proteins as spherical, pompom-like microparticles with adjustable sizes (15-50 µm in diameter) and surface topography consisting of grooves and ridges. These PL microparticles exhibit extraordinary cytocompatibility, allowing cell-guided microaggregates to form, while also working as injectable systems for cell support. Early studies also suggest that the surface topography provided by these PL microparticles can support osteogenic behavior. Consequently, these PL microparticles may find use to create live tissues via bottom-up procedures or injectable tissue-defect fillers, particularly for bone regeneration, with the prospect of working under xeno-free conditions.

Abstract
Fabrication and application of novel anisotropic microparticles are of wide interest. Herein, a new method for producing novel crater-terrain hydrogel microparticles is presented using a concept of droplet-aerosol impact and regional polymerization. The surface pattern of microparticles is similar to the widespread "crater" texture on the lunar surface and can be regulated by the impact morphology of aerosols on the droplet surface. Methodological applicability was demonstrated by producing ionic-cross-linked (alginate) and photo-cross-linked (poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, PEGDA) microparticles. Additionally, the crater-terrain microparticles (CTMs) can induce nonspecific protein absorption on their surface to acquire cell affinity, and they were exploited as cell carriers to load living cells. Cells could adhere and proliferate, and a special cellular adhesion fingerprint was observed on the novel cell carrier. Therefore, the scalable manufacturing method and biological potential make the engineered microparticles promising to open a new avenue for exploring cell-biomaterial crosstalk.

Abstract
The modulation of cells in tissue formation is still one of the hardest tasks to achieve in Tissue Engineering. To control the cell response when undergoing their normal functions such as adhesion, differentiation, assembly, or maturation is vital the development of more successful solutions. Herein, we discuss how microparticles are being overlooked in their potential for controlling the cellular response. Until now, their role was quite often restricted to a reservoir of chemical compounds or as carriers for cell expansion. Nevertheless, microparticles design with the introduction of biophysical and biochemical cues can effectively modulate cell response.

Abstract
We propose a compound interfacial shearing (CIS) process for versatile production of monodisperse Janus emulsions with controllable structural and topographic features. The process induces an active periodic force to decouple material and process parameters, enables independent control of compartmental features in Janus emulsions, and facilitates inline and on-demand generation of various geometric features for a large variety of process parameters and material properties. Janus emulsions of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) with a controlled number of compartments are produced by CIS and photopolymerized to form micro-hydrogels with designated interfacial curvatures. PEGDA micro-hydrogels can be further modified to achieve anisotropy of surface or internal features by the content of an oily dispersed phase. MCF-7 human breast cancer cells are encapsulated in micro-hydrogels for cell proliferation with satisfactory viability. By modifying PEGDA micro-hydrogels with RGDS-conjugated polystyrene microspheres, we have demonstrated the controlled spatial adhesion of MCF-7 cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) on the substrates of different three-dimensional (3D) curvatures. Our pilot study suggests a simple and potentially scalable approach to produce 3D substrates with controllable structural and topographic features for 3D guided cell organization.

Abstract
The biodegradable polymer microparticles with different surface morphology and chemical compositions may influence significantly the behaviors of cells, and thereby further the performance of tissue regeneration in vivo. In this study, multi-stage hierarchical textures of poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA)/PLGA-b-PEG (poly(ethylene glycol)) microspheres with a diameter as large as 50-100 μm are fabricated based on interfacial instability of an emulsion. The obtained fuzzy structures on the microspheres are sensitive to annealing, which are changed gradually to a smooth one after treatment at 37 °C for 6 d or 80 °C for 1 h. The surface microstructures that are chemically dominated by PEG can be stabilized against annealing by dopamine deposition. By the combination use of annealing and dopamine deposition, a series of microspheres with robust surface topologies are facilely prepared. The fuzzy microstructures and dopamine deposition show a synergetic role to enhance cell-material interaction, leading to a larger number of adherent bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), A549 and MC 3T3 cells. The fuzzy microspheres with dopamine deposition can significantly promote bone regeneration 12 w post surgery in vivo, as revealed by micro-CT, histological, western blotting and RT-PCR analyses.

Abstract
Isolation or enrichment of biological molecules from complex biological samples is mostly a prerequisite in proteomics, genomics, and glycomics. Different techniques have been used to advance the efficiency of the purification of biological molecules. Bioaffinity chromatography is one of the most powerful technique that plays an important role in the isolation of target biological molecules by the specific interactions with ligands that are immobilized on different support materials. This review examines the recent developments in bioaffinity chromatography particularly over the past 5 years in the literature. Also properties of supports, immobilization techniques, types of binding agents, and methods used in bioaffinity chromatography applications are summarized.

Abstract
Native human tissues are supported by a viscoelastic extracellular matrix (ECM) that can adapt its intricate network to dynamic mechanical stimuli. To recapitulate the unique ECM biofunctionality, hydrogel design is shifting from typical covalent crosslinks toward covalently adaptable networks. To pursue such properties, herein hybrid polysaccharide-polypeptide networks are designed based on dynamic covalent assembly inspired by natural ECM crosslinking processes. This is achieved through the synthesis of an amine-reactive oxidized-laminarin biopolymer that can readily crosslink with gelatin (oxLAM-Gelatin) and simultaneously allow cell encapsulation. Interestingly, the rational design of oxLAM-Gelatin hydrogels with varying aldehyde-to-amine ratios enables a refined control over crosslinking kinetics, viscoelastic properties, and degradability profile. The mechanochemical features of these hydrogels post-crosslinking offer an alternative route for imprinting any intended nano- or microtopography in ECM-mimetic matrices bearing inherent cell-adhesive motifs. Different patterns are easily paved in oxLAM-Gelatin under physiological conditions and complex topographical configurations are retained along time. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells contacting mechanically sculpted oxLAM-Gelatin hydrogels sense the underlying surface nanotopography and align parallel to the anisotropic nanoridge/nanogroove intercalating array. These findings demonstrate that covalently adaptable features in ECM-mimetic networks can be leveraged to combine surface topography and cell-adhesive motifs as they appear in natural matrices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) cultivation with biomaterials was proposed to facilitate stem cell epithelial differentiation for wound healing. However, whether human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) on collagen sponge scaffold (CSS) better differentiate to keratinocytes remains unclear. METHODS 3D cultivation with CSS on hASC epidermal differentiation co-cultured with HaCaT cells at air-liquid interface (ALI) was compared with two-dimensional (2D) form and cultivation without "co-culture" or "ALI." Cellular morphology, cell adhesion, and growth condition were evaluated, followed by the protein and gene expression of keratin 14 (K14, keratinocyte specific marker). RESULTS Typical cobblestone morphology of keratinocytes was remarkably observed in co-cultured hASCs at ALI, but those seeded on the CSS exhibited more keratinocyte-like cells under an invert microscope and scanning electron microscope. Desired cell adhesion and proliferation were confirmed in 3D differentiation groups by rhodamine-labeled phalloidin staining, consistent with H&E staining. Compared with those cultured in 2D culture system or without "ALI," immunofluorescence staining and gene expression analysis revealed hASCs co-cultured over CSS expressed K14 at higher levels at day 15. CONCLUSIONS CSS is positive to promote epithelial differentiation of hASCs, which will foster a deeper understanding of artificial dermis in skin wound healing and regeneration.

Abstract
Bottom-up tissue engineering is a promising approach for designing modular biomimetic structures that aim to recapitulate the intricate hierarchy and biofunctionality of native human tissues. In recent years, this field has seen exciting progress driven by an increasing knowledge of biological systems and their rational deconstruction into key core components. Relevant advances in the bottom-up assembly of unitary living blocks toward the creation of higher order bioarchitectures based on multicellular-rich structures or multicomponent cell-biomaterial synergies are described. An up-to-date critical overview of long-term existing and rapidly emerging technologies for integrative bottom-up tissue engineering is provided, including discussion of their practical challenges and required advances. It is envisioned that a combination of cell-biomaterial constructs with bioadaptable features and biospecific 3D designs will contribute to the development of more robust and functional humanized tissues for therapies and disease models, as well as tools for fundamental biological studies.

Abstract
In this report, we present a facile approach to produce biodegradable polymeric microparticles with uniform sizes and controllable morphologies by blending hydrophobic poly(d, l-lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and amphiphilic poly(d, l-lactic acid)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-b-PEG) in a microfluidic chip. Microparticles with tentacular, hollow hemispherical, and Janus structures were obtained after complete evaporation of the organic solvent by manipulating the interfacial behavior of emulsion droplets and the phase separation behavior inside the droplets. The number and length of the tentacles on the surface of tentacular microparticles could be tailored by varying the initial concentration and blending ratios of the polymers. The organic solvent played an important role in controlling the morphologies of microparticles. For example, blending PLA16k-b-PEG5k with PLGA100k in dichloromethane resulted in tentacular microparticles, whereas hollow hemispherical microparticles were obtained in trichloromethane. Moreover, these microparticles with controllable shapes and surface textures have significant influence on the immune response of dendritic cells (DCs), showing a morphology-dependent enhancement of DC maturation.

Microparticles in Contact with Cells: From Carriers to Multifunctional Tissue Modulators. Trends Biotechnol 2019; 37:1011-1028. [PMID: 30902347 DOI: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2019.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 64] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 02/15/2019] [Accepted: 02/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
For several decades microparticles have been exclusively and extensively explored as spherical drug delivery vehicles and large-scale cell expansion carriers. More recently, microparticulate structures gained interest in broader bioengineering fields, integrating myriad strategies that include bottom-up tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and the development of tissue/disease models. The concept of bulk spherical micrometric particles as adequate supports for cell cultivation has been challenged, and systems with finely tuned geometric designs and (bio)chemical/physical features are current key players in impacting technologies. Herein, we critically review the state of the art and future trends of biomaterial microparticles in contact with cells and tissues, excluding internalization studies, and with emphasis on innovative particle design and applications.
