Abstract
Synthetic tubular grafts currently used in clinical context fail frequently, and the expectations that biomimetic materials could tackle these limitations are high. However, developing tubular materials presenting structural, compositional and functional properties close to those of native tissues remains an unmet challenge. Here we describe a combination of ice templating and topotactic fibrillogenesis of type I collagen, the main component of tissues' extracellular matrix, yielding highly concentrated yet porous tubular collagen materials with controlled hierarchical architecture at multiple length scales, the hallmark of native tissues' organization. By modulating the thermal conductivity of the cylindrical molds, we tune the macroscopic porosity defined by ice. Coupling the aforementioned porosity patterns with two different fibrillogenesis routes results in a new family of tubular materials whose textural features and the supramolecular arrangement of type I collagen are achieved. The resulting materials present hierarchical elastic properties and are successfully colonized by human endothelial cells and alveolar epithelial cells on the luminal side, and by human mesenchymal stem cells on the external side. The proposed straightforward protocol is likely to be adapted for larger graft sizes that address ever-growing clinical needs, such as peripheral arterial disease or tracheal and bronchial reconstructions.

Abstract
Cell encapsulation within three-dimensional hydrogels is a promising approach to mimic tissues. However, true biomimicry of the intricate microenvironment, biophysical and biochemical gradients, and the macroscale hierarchical spatial organizations of native tissues is an unmet challenge within tissue engineering. This review provides an overview of the macromolecular chemistries that have been applied toward the design of cell-friendly hydrogels, as well as their application toward controlling biophysical and biochemical bulk and gradient properties of the microenvironment. Furthermore, biofabrication technologies provide the opportunity to simultaneously replicate macroscale features of native tissues. Biofabrication strategies are reviewed in detail with a particular focus on the compatibility of these strategies with the current macromolecular toolkit described for hydrogel design and the challenges associated with their clinical translation. This review identifies that the convergence of the ever-expanding macromolecular toolkit and technological advancements within the field of biofabrication, along with an improved biological understanding, represents a promising strategy toward the successful tissue regeneration.

Abstract
For the study of cell biology, real-time information on cell physiological processes will be more accurate and closer to the in vivo condition in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system. Although most reported 3D cell culture scaffolds can better mimic the in vivo dynamic microenvironment, the real-time analysis technique is deficient or lacking. Herein, a stretchable and conductive 3D scaffold is developed to construct an electrochemical biosensor for real-time monitoring of cell release in 3D culture under stimulation of drug stimulant and mechanical force. In our design, the polyurethane sponge (PU) dipped with conductive carbon ink (CC/PU) was used as a conductive scaffold, and gold nanoparticles (nano-Au) were electrodeposited on the CC/PU (nano-Au CC/PU) to improve the electrochemical sensing performance. The prepared nano-Au CC/PU scaffold exhibits a good electrocatalytic ability to H2O2 with a linear range from 20 nM to 43 μM. Due to the great biocompatibility, HeLa cells can be cultured directly on the nano-Au CC/PU and the in situ and real-time tracking of H2O2 secretion from cells was achieved. The results demonstrate that both the drug stimulant and mechanical force can rapidly activate the release of reactive oxygen species. This study indicates that the stretchable 3D sensing scaffold has good potential for cell biology research in an in vivo-like microenvironment and can be extensively used in the fields of tissue engineering, drug screening, and pathological research.

Abstract
Human tissues are characterized by complex composition and cellular and extracellular matrix (ECM) organization at microscopic level. In most of human tissues, cells and ECM show an anisotropic arrangement, which confers them specific properties.In vitro, the ability to closely mimic this complexity is limited. However, in the last years, extrusion bioprinting showed a certain potential for aligning cells and biomolecules, due to the application of shear stress during the bio-fabrication process. In this work, we propose a strategy to combine collagen (col) with tyramine-modified hyaluronic acid (THA) to obtain a printable col-THA bioink for extrusion bioprinting, solely-based on natural-derived components. Collagen fibers formation within the hybrid hydrogel, as well as collagen distribution and spatial organization before and after printing, were studied. For the validation of the biological outcome, fibroblasts were selected as cellular model and embedded in the col-THA matrix. Cell metabolic activity and cell viability, as well as cell distribution and alignment, were studied in the bioink before and after bioprinting. Results demonstrated successful collagen fibers formation within the bioink, as well as collagen anisotropic alignment along the printing direction. Furthermore, results revealed suitable biological properties, with a slightly reduced metabolic activity at day 1, fully recovered within the first 3 d post-cell embedding. Finally, results showed fibroblasts elongation and alignment along the bioprinting direction. Altogether, results validated the potential to obtain collagen-based bioprinted constructs, with both cellular and ECM anisotropy, without detrimental effects of the fabrication process on the biological outcome. This bioink can be potentially used for a wide range of applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in which anisotropy is required.

Abstract
Delignified wood (DW) offers a versatile platform for the manufacturing of composites, with material properties ranging from stiff to soft and flexible by preserving the preferential fiber directionality of natural wood through a structure-retaining production process. This study presents a facile method for fabricating anisotropic and mechanically tunable DW-hydrogel composites. These composites were produced by infiltrating delignified spruce wood with an aqueous gelatin solution followed by chemical crosslinking. The mechanical properties could be modulated across a broad strength and stiffness range (1.2-18.3 MPa and 170-1455 MPa, respectively) by varying the crosslinking time. The diffusion-led crosslinking further allowed to manufacture mechanically graded structures. The resulting uniaxial, tubular structure of the anisotropic DW-hydrogel composite enabled the alignment of murine fibroblasts in vitro, which could be utilized in future studies on potential applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Aligned pore structures present many advantages when conceiving biomaterial strategies for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Aligned ice templating (AIT) is one of the many different techniques capable of producing anisotropic porous scaffolds; its high versatility allows for the formation of structures with tunable pore sizes, as well as the use of many different materials. AIT has been found to yield improved compressive properties for bone tissue engineering (BTE), as well as higher tensile strength and optimized cellular alignment and proliferation in tendon and muscle repair applications. This review evaluates the work that has been done in the last decade toward the production of aligned pore structures by AIT with an outlook on the musculoskeletal system. This work describes the fundamentals of the AIT technique and focuses on the research carried out to optimize the biomechanical properties of scaffolds by modifying the pore structure, categorizing by material type and application. Related topics including growth factor incorporation into AIT scaffolds, drug delivery applications, and studies about immune system response will be discussed.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) are detrimental to the quality of life of affected individuals. Patients are often left with life-long ailments that affect them physically and psychologically. Autologous nerve transplant is still the gold standard treatment for PNIs despite limited donor site and partial recovery of nerve functions. Nerve guidance conduits are used as a nerve graft substitute and are efficient for the repair of small nerve gaps but require further improvement for repairs exceeding 30 mm. Freeze-casting is an interesting fabrication method for the conception of scaffolds meant for nerve tissue engineering since the microstructure obtained comprises highly aligned micro-channels. The present work focuses on the fabrication and characterization of large scaffolds (35 mm length, 5 mm diameter) made of collagen/chitosan blends by freeze-casting via thermoelectric effect instead of traditional freezing solvents. As a freeze-casting microstructure reference, scaffolds made from pure collagen were used for comparison. Scaffolds were covalently crosslinked for better performance under load and laminins were further added to enhance cell interactions. Microstructural features of lamellar pores display an average aspect ratio of 0.67 ± 0.2 for all compositions. Longitudinally aligned micro-channels are reported as well as enhanced mechanical properties in traction under physiological-like conditions (37 °C, pH = 7.4) resulting from crosslinking treatment. Cell viability assays using a rat Schwann cell line derived from sciatic nerve (S16) indicate that scaffold cytocompatibility is similar between scaffolds made from collagen only and scaffolds made from collagen/chitosan blend with high collagen content. These results confirm that freeze-casting via thermoelectric effect is a reliable manufacturing strategy for the fabrication of biopolymer scaffolds for future peripheral nerve repair applications.

Abstract
Periodontal tissue regeneration is a major challenge in tissue engineering due to its regenerated environment complexity. It aims to regenerate not only the supporting alveolar bone and cementum around teeth but also the key connecting periodontal ligament. Herein, a constructed aligned porous hydrogel scaffold carrying cells based on chitosan (CHI) and oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS) treated with a freeze-casting technique was fabricated, which aimed to induce the arrangement of periodontal tissue regeneration. The microscopic morphology and physical and chemical properties of the hydrogel scaffold were evaluated. The biocompatibilities with periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) or gingival-derived mesenchymal stem cells (GMSCs) were verified, respectively, by Live/Dead staining and CCK8 in vitro. Furthermore, the regeneration effect of the aligned porous hydrogel scaffold combined with PDLSCs and GMSCs was evaluated in vivo. The biocompatibility experiments showed no statistical significance between the hydrogel culture group and blank control (P > 0.05). In a rat periodontal defect model, PDLSC and GMSC hydrogel experimental groups showed more pronounced bone tissue repair than the blank control (P < 0.05) in micro-CT. In addition, there was more tissue repair (P < 0.05) of PDLSC and GMSC hydrogel groups from histological staining images. Higher expressions of OPN, Runx-2, and COL-I were detected in both of the above groups via immunohistochemistry staining. More importantly, the group with the aligned porous hydrogel induced more order periodontal ligament formation than that with the ordinary hydrogel in Masson's trichrome analysis. Collectively, it is expected to promote periodontal tissue regeneration utilizing an aligned porous hydrogel scaffold combined with PDLSCs and GMSCs (CHI-OCS-PDLSC/GMSC composite), which provides an alternative possibility for clinical application.

Abstract
Tissue engineering offers attractive strategies to develop three-dimensional scaffolds mimicking the complex hierarchical structure of the native bone. The bone is formed by cells incorporated in a molecularly organized extracellular matrix made of an inorganic phase, called biological apatite, and an organic phase mainly made of collagen and noncollagenous macromolecules. Although many strategies have been developed to replicate the complexity of bone at the nanoscale in vitro, a critical challenge has been to control the orchestrated process of mineralization promoted by bone cells in vivo and replicate the anatomical and biological properties of native bone. In this study, we used type I collagen to fabricate mineralized scaffolds mimicking the microenvironment of the native bone. The sulfated polysaccharide κ-carrageenan was added to the scaffolds to fulfill the role of noncollagenous macromolecules in the organization and mineralization of the bone matrix and cell adhesion. Scanning electron microscopy images of the surface of the collagen/κ-carrageenan scaffolds showed the presence of a dense and uniform network of intertwined fibrils, while images of the scaffolds' lateral sides showed the presence of collagen fibrils with a parallel alignment, which is characteristic of dense connective tissues. MC3T3-E1 osteoblasts were cultured in the collagen scaffolds and were viable after up to 7 days of culture, both in the absence and in the presence of κ-carrageenan. The presence of κ-carrageenan in the collagen scaffolds stimulated the maturation of the cells to a mineralizing phenotype, as suggested by the increased expression of key genes related to bone mineralization, including alkaline phosphatase (Alp), bone sialoprotein (Bsp), osteocalcin (Oc), and osteopontin (Opn), as well as the ability to mineralize the extracellular matrix after 14 and 21 days of culture. Taken together, the results described in this study shed light on the potential use of collagen/κ-carrageenan scaffolds to study the role of the structural organization of bone-mimetic synthetic matrices in cell function.

Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent an interesting source of biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and the prediction of cancer recurrence, yet while they are extensively studied in oncobiology research, their diagnostic utility has not yet been demonstrated and validated. Their scarcity in human biological fluids impedes the identification of dangerous CTC subpopulations that may promote metastatic dissemination. In this Perspective, we discuss promising techniques that could be used for the identification of these metastatic cells. We first describe methods for isolating patient-derived CTCs and then the use of 3D biomimetic matrixes in their amplification and analysis, followed by methods for further CTC analyses at the single-cell and single-molecule levels. Finally, we discuss how the elucidation of mechanical and morphological properties using techniques such as atomic force microscopy and molecular biomarker identification using nanopore-based detection could be combined in the future to provide patients and their healthcare providers with a more accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
The topographic cues of wound dressings play important roles in regulating cellular behaviors, such as cellular migration and morphology, and are capable of providing a prolonged stimulus for promoting wound healing. However, 3D porous dressings that can guide wound healing from the periphery to the center are poorly studied. Herein, radial sponges with adjustable lamellar spacing and microridge spacing by ice templating are developed to facilitate wound healing. With denser lamellae and microridges, fibroblasts achieve a more orderly arrangement, a larger elongation, and a greater migration rate. Meanwhile, the elongated state enables human umbilical vein endothelial cells to vascularization. The faster healing rate and a higher degree of vascularization based on radial sponges are further demonstrated in full-thickness skin defects in rats. Taken together, radial sponges with the densest lamellae and microridges perform the best in guiding the wound from the periphery to the center of the repair environment. It is believed that the proposed structure here can be combined with various biochemical factors to provide dressings with functions.

Abstract
Standard in vitro cell cultures are one of the pillars of biomedical sciences. However, there is increasing evidence that 2D systems provide biological responses that are often in disagreement with in vivo observations, partially due to limitations in reproducing the native cellular microenvironment. 3D materials that are able to mimic the native cellular microenvironment to a greater extent tackle these limitations. Here, we report Porous yet Dense (PyD) type I collagen materials obtained by ice-templating followed by topotactic fibrillogenesis. These materials combine extensive macroporosity, favouring the cell migration and nutrient exchange, as well as dense collagen walls, which mimic locally the extracellular matrix. When seeded with Normal Human Dermal Fibroblasts (NHDFs), PyD matrices allow for faster and more extensive colonisation when compared with equivalent non-porous matrices. The textural properties of the PyD materials also impact cytoskeletal and nuclear 3D morphometric parameters. Due to the effectiveness in creating a biomimetic 3D environment for NHDFs and the ability to promote cell culture for more than 28 days without subculture, we anticipate that PyD materials could configure an important step towards in vitro systems applicable to other cell types and with higher physiological relevance.

Abstract
Despite the crucial role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the organotypic organization and function of skeletal muscles, most 3D models do not mimic its specific characteristics, namely its biochemical composition, stiffness, anisotropy, and porosity. Here, a novel 3D in vitro model of muscle ECM was developed reproducing these four crucial characteristics of the native ECM. An anisotropic hydrogel mimicking the muscle fascia was obtained thanks to unidirectional 3D printing of dense collagen with aligned collagen fibrils. The space between the different layers was tuned to generate an intrinsic network of pores (100 μm) suitable for nutrient and oxygen diffusion. By modulating the gelling conditions, the mechanical properties of the construct reached those measured in the physiological muscle ECM. This artificial matrix was thus evaluated for myoblast differentiation. The addition of large channels (600 μm) by molding permitted to create a second range of porosity suitable for cell colonization without altering the physical properties of the hydrogel. Skeletal myoblasts embedded in Matrigel®, seeded within the channels, organized in 3D, and differentiated into multinucleated myotubes. These results show that porous and anisotropic dense collagen hydrogels are promising biomaterials to model skeletal muscle ECM.

Abstract
Collagen is a natural polymer expressed in the extracellular matrix of the peripheral nervous system. It has become increasingly crucial in peripheral nerve reconstruction as it was involved in regulating Schwann cell behaviors, maintaining peripheral nerve functions during peripheral nerve development, and being strongly upregulated after nerve injury to promote peripheral nerve regeneration. Moreover, its biological properties, such as low immunogenicity, excellent biocompatibility, and biodegradability make it a suitable biomaterial for peripheral nerve repair. Collagen provides a suitable microenvironment to support Schwann cells’ growth, proliferation, and migration, thereby improving the regeneration and functional recovery of peripheral nerves. This review aims to summarize the characteristics of collagen as a biomaterial, analyze its role in peripheral nerve regeneration, and provide a detailed overview of the recent advances concerning the optimization of collagen nerve conduits in terms of physical properties and structure, as well as the application of the combination with the bioactive component in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Abstract
Silk from Bombyx mori is one of the most exciting materials in nature. The apparently simple arrangement of its two major components─two parallel filaments of silk fibroin (SF) coated by a common sericin (SS) sheath─provides a combination of mechanical and surface properties that can protect the moth during its most vulnerable phase, the pupal stage. Here, we recapitulate the topology of native silk fibers but shape them into three-dimensional porous constructs using an unprecedented design strategy. We demonstrate, for the first time, the potential of these macroporous silk foams as dermal patches for wound protection and for the controlled delivery of Rifamycin (Rif), a model antibiotic. The method implies (i) removing SS from silk fibers; (ii) shaping SF solutions into macroporous foams via ice-templating; (iii) stabilizing the SF macroporous foam in a methanolic solution of Rif; and (iv) coating Rif-loaded SF foams with a SS sheath. The resulting SS@SF foams exhibit water wicking capacity and accommodate up to ∼20% deformation without detaching from a skin model. The antibacterial behavior of Rif-loaded SS@SF foams against Staphylococcus aureus on agar plates outperforms that of SF foams (>1 week and 4 days, respectively). The reassembly of natural materials as macroporous foams─illustrated here for the reconstruction of silk-based materials─can be extended to other multicomponent natural materials and may play an important role in applications where controlled release of molecules and fluid transport are pivotal.

Abstract
Fibrin-Type I collagen composite gels have been widely studied as biomaterials, in which both networks are usually formed simultaneously at a neutral pH. Here, we describe a new protocol in which mixed concentrated solutions of collagen and fibrinogen were first incubated at acidic pH to induce fibrinogen gel formation, followed by a pH change to neutral inducing collagen fiber formation. Thrombin was then added to form fibrin-collagen networks. Using this protocol, mixed gels containing 20 mg.mL−1 fibrin and up to 10 mg.mL−1 collagen could be prepared. Macroscopic observations evidenced that increasing the content of collagen increases the turbidity of the gels and decreases their shrinkage during the fibrinogen-to-fibrin conversion. The presence of collagen had a minor influence on the rheological properties of the gels. Electron microscopy allowed for observation of collagen fibers within the fibrin network. 2D cultures of C2C12 myoblasts on mixed gels revealed that the presence of collagen favors proliferation and local alignment of the cells. However, it interferes with cell differentiation and myotube formation, suggesting that further control of in-gel collagen self-assembly is required to elaborate fully functional biomaterials.

Abstract
Traditionally existing 2D culture scaffold has been inappropriately validated due to the failure in generating the precise therapeutic response. Therefore, this leads to the fabrication of 3D culture scaffold resolving the limitations in the in vivo environment. In recent years, tissue engineering played an important role in the field of bio-medical engineering. Biopolymer material, a novel natural material with excellent properties of nontoxic and biodegradable merits can be served as culture scaffold. This review summarizes the modifications of natural biopolymeric culture scaffold with different crosslinkers and their application. In addition, this review provides the recent progress of natural biopolymeric culture scaffold mainly focusing on their properties, synthesizing and modification and application.

Abstract
Purpose Bone metastasis is one of the common causes of death relative to breast cancer. However, the evolvement of bone niche in cancer progression remains poorly understood. A three-dimensional (3D) engineered bone matrix was developed as an effective biomimetic model to explore the mechanism relative to bone cancer metastasis. Methods In the study, a 3D engineered bone matrix was developed via cell biomineralization templated by a biomimetic collagen template. The process of bone metastasis relative to breast cancer was investigated by co-culturing breast cancer MDA-MB-231-GFP cells with pre-osteogenic MC3T3-E1 cells on the 3D bone matrix. Results A typical bone matrix was obtained, where mineralized collagen fibers were packed into the bundle to form a 3D engineered bone matrix. As the cancer cells were invading along the way vertical to the alignment of mineralized collagen fiber, the bone matrix gradually became thinner, accompanied with the erosion of Col I and the loss of calcium and phosphorus. As a result, the disassembled structure of mineralized collagen fiber was observed, which may be attributed to osteolytic bone metastasis. Conclusion An engineered 3D bone-like matrix was successfully prepared via cell mineralization, which can act as a model for bone metastasis process. The study revealed mineralized collagen fiber disassembled at nanoscale relative to breast cancer cells.

Abstract
The pathophysiology of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), one major cause of heart failure, is characterized by the dilation of the heart but remains poorly understood because of the lack of adequate in vitro models. Current 2D models do not allow for the 3D organotypic organization of cardiomyocytes and do not reproduce the ECM perturbations. In this review, the different strategies to mimic the chemical, physical and topographical properties of the cardiac tissue affected by DCM are presented. The advantages and drawbacks of techniques generating anisotropy required for the cardiomyocytes alignment are discussed. In addition, the different methods creating macroporosity and favoring organotypic organization are compared. Besides, the advances in the induced pluripotent stem cells technology to generate cardiac cells from healthy or DCM patients will be described. Thanks to the biomaterial design, some features of the DCM extracellular matrix such as stiffness, porosity, topography or chemical changes can impact the cardiomyocytes function in vitro and increase their maturation. By mimicking the affected heart, both at the cellular and at the tissue level, 3D models will enable a better understanding of the pathology and favor the discovery of novel therapies.

Abstract
Seeding materials with living cells has been-and still is-one of the most promising approaches to reproduce the complexity and the functionality of living matter. The strategies to associate living cells with materials are limited to cell encapsulation and colonization, however, the requirements for these two approaches have been seldom discussed systematically. Here we propose a simple two-dimensional map based on materials' pore size and the cytocompatibility of their fabrication process to draw, for the first time, a guide to building cellularized materials. We believe this approach may serve as a straightforward guideline to design new, more relevant materials, able to seize the complexity and the function of biological materials. This article is part of the theme issue 'Bio-derived and bioinspired sustainable advanced materials for emerging technologies (part 1)'.

Shaping collagen for engineering hard tissues: Towards a printomics approach. Acta Biomater 2021; 131:41-61.

Abstract
Hard tissue engineering has evolved over the past decades, with multiple approaches being explored and developed. Despite the rapid development and success of advanced 3D cell culture, 3D printing technologies and material developments, a gold standard approach to engineering and regenerating hard tissue substitutes such as bone, dentin and cementum, has not yet been realised. One such strategy that differs from conventional regenerative medicine approach of other tissues, is the in vitro mineralisation of collagen templates in the absence of cells. Collagen is the most abundant protein within the human body and forms the basis of all hard tissues. Once mineralised, collagen provides important support and protection to humans, for example in the case of bone tissue. Multiple in vitro fabrication strategies and mineralisation approaches have been developed and their success in facilitating mineral deposition on collagen to achieve bone-like scaffolds evaluated. Critical to the success of such fabrication and biomineralisation approaches is the collagen template, and its chemical composition, organisation, and density. The key factors that influence such properties are the collagen processing and fabrication techniques utilised to create the template, and the mineralisation strategy employed to deposit mineral on and throughout the templates. However, despite its importance, relatively little attention has been placed on these two critical factors. Here, we critically examine the processing, fabrication and mineralisation strategies that have been used to mineralise collagen templates, and offer insights and perspectives on the most promising strategies for creating mineralised collagen scaffolds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this review, we highlight the critical need to fabricate collagen templates with advanced processing techniques, in a manner that achieves biomimicry of the hierarchical collagen structure, prior to utilising in vitro mineralisation strategies. To this end, we focus on the initial collagen that is selected, the extraction techniques used and the native fibril forming potential retained to create reconstituted collagen scaffolds. This review synthesises current best practises in material sourcing, processing, mineralisation strategies and fabrication techniques, and offers insights into how these can best be exploited in future studies to successfully mineralise collagen templates.

Abstract
Ordered porous carbon materials (PCMs) have potential applications in various fields due to their low mass densities and porous features. However, it yet remains extremely challenging to construct PCMs with multifunctionalization for electromagnetic wave absorption. Herein, the honeycombed-like carbon aerogels with embedded Co@C nanoparticles are fabricated by a directionally freeze-casting and carbonization method. The optimized aerogel possesses low density (0.017 g cm-3 ), fire-retardant, robust mechanical performance (compression moduli reach 1411 and 420 kPa in the longitudinal and transverse directions at 80% strain, respectively), and high thermal management (high thermal insulation capability and high-efficiency electrothermal conversion ability). Notably, the optimized aerogel exhibits the excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties with broad effective absorption bandwidth (13.12-17.14 GHz) and strong absorption (-45.02 dB) at a thickness of only 1.5 mm. Density functional theory calculations and the experimental results demonstrate that the excellent electromagnetic wave absorption properties stem from the synergetic effects among high electrical conductivity, numerous interfaces and dipoles and unique ordered porous structure. Meanwhile, the computer simulation technology (CST) simulation confirms that the multifunctional aerogel can attenuate more electromagnetic energy in a practical environment. This work paves the way for rational design and fabrication of the next-generation electromagnetic wave absorbing materials.

Tendon-inspired fibers from liquid crystalline collagen as the pre-oriented bioink. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 185:739-749.

Abstract
Nature provides rich bionic resources for the construction of advanced materials with excellent mechanical properties. In this work, inspired by animal tendons, a bionic collagen fiber was developed using collagen liquid crystals as the pre-oriented bioink. The texture of liquid crystalline collagen observed from polarized optical microscopy (POM) showed the specific molecular pre-orientation. Meanwhile, the collagen spinning liquids exhibited a minimal rise in viscosity upon increasing concentration from 60 to 120 mg/mL, indicating the feasible processability. The collagen fiber, which was prepared via wet spinning without being denatured, exhibited the favorable orientation of fibrils along its axis as observed with FESEM and AFM. Thanks to the synergistic effects between pre-orientation and shearing orientation, the maximum tensile strength and Young's modulus of collagen fibers reached 9.98 cN/tex (219.29 ± 22.92 MPa) and 43.95 ± 1.11 cN/tex (966.20 ± 24.30 MPa), respectively, which were also analogous to those of tendon. In addition, the collagen fiber possessed a desirable wet strength. Benefiting from the natural tissue affinity of collagen, the as-prepared bionic collagen fiber possessed excellent wound suture performance and biodegradability in vivo, which offers a new perspective for the potential of widespread applications of collagen fibers in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Freeze-drying is the most widespread method to preserve protein drugs and vaccines in a dry form facilitating their storage and transportation without the laborious and expensive cold chain. Extending this method for the preservation of natural biomaterials and cells in a dry form would provide similar benefits, but most results in the domain are still below expectations. In this review, rather than consider freeze-drying as a traditional black box we "break it" through a detailed process thinking approach. We discuss freeze-drying from process thinking aspects, introduce the chemical, physical, and mechanical environments important in this process, and present advanced biophotonic process analytical technology. In the end, we review the state of the art in the freeze-drying of the biomaterials, extracellular vesicles, and cells. We suggest that the rational design of the experiment and implementation of advanced biophotonic tools are required to successfully preserve the natural biomaterials and cells by freeze-drying. We discuss this change of paradigm with existing literature and elaborate on our perspective based on our new unpublished results.

Abstract
Major progress in the field of regenerative medicine is expected from the design of artificial scaffolds that mimic both the structural and functional properties of the ECM. The bionanocomposites approach is particularly well fitted to meet this challenge as it can combine ECM-based matrices and colloidal carriers of biological cues that regulate cell behavior. Here we have prepared bionanocomposites under high magnetic field from tilapia fish scale collagen and multifunctional silica nanoparticles (SiNPs). We show that scaffolding cues (collagen), multiple display of signaling peptides (SiNPs) and control over the global structuration (magnetic field) can be combined into a unique bionanocomposite for the engineering of biomaterials with improved cell performances.

Abstract
The elaboration of scaffolds able to efficiently promote cell differentiation toward a given cell type remains challenging. Here, we engineered dense type I collagen threads with the aim of providing scaffolds with specific morphological and mechanical properties for C3H10T1/2 mesenchymal stem cells. Extrusion of pure collagen solutions at different concentrations (15, 30, and 60 mg/mL) in a PBS 5× buffer generated dense fibrillated collagen threads. For the two highest concentrations, threads displayed a core-shell structure with a marked fibril orientation of the outer layer along the longitudinal axis of the threads. Young's modulus and ultimate tensile stress as high as 1 and 0.3 MPa, respectively, were obtained for the most concentrated collagen threads without addition of any cross-linkers. C3H10T1/2 cells oriented themselves with a mean angle of 15-24° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the threads. Cells penetrated the 30 mg/mL scaffolds but remained on the surface of the 60 mg/mL ones. After three weeks of culture, cells displayed strong expression of the tendon differentiation marker Tnmd, especially for the 30 mg/mL threads. These results suggest that both the morphological and mechanical characteristics of collagen threads are key factors in promoting C3H10T1/2 differentiation into tenocytes, offering promising levers to optimize tissue engineering scaffolds for tendon regeneration.

Abstract
Type I collagen and fibrin are two essential proteins in tissue regeneration and have been widely used for the design of biomaterials. While they both form hydrogels via fibrillogenesis, they have distinct biochemical features, structural properties and biological functions which make their combination of high interest. A number of protocols to obtain such mixed gels have been described in the literature that differ in the sequence of mixing/addition of the various reagents. Experimental and modelling studies have suggested that such co-gels consist of an interpenetrated structure where the two proteins networks have local interactions only. Evidences have been accumulated that immobilized cells respond not only to the overall structure of the co-gels but can also exhibit responses specific to each of the proteins. Among the many biomedical applications of such type I collagen-fibrin mixed gels, those requiring the co-culture of two cell types with distinct affinity for these proteins, such as vascularization of tissue engineering constructs, appear particularly promising.

Abstract
Freeze casting, also known as ice templating, is a particularly versatile technique that has been applied extensively for the fabrication of well-controlled biomimetic porous materials based on ceramics, metals, polymers, biomacromolecules, and carbon nanomaterials, endowing them with novel properties and broadening their applicability. The principles of different directional freeze-casting processes are described and the relationships between processing and structure are examined. Recent progress in freeze-casting assisted assembly of low dimensional building blocks, including graphene and carbon nanotubes, into tailored micro- and macrostructures is then summarized. Emerging trends relating to novel materials as building blocks and novel freeze-cast geometries-beads, fibers, films, complex macrostructures, and nacre-mimetic composites-are presented. Thereafter, the means by which aligned porous structures and nacre mimetic materials obtainable through recently developed freeze-casting techniques and low-dimensional building blocks can facilitate material functionality across multiple fields of application, including energy storage and conversion, environmental remediation, thermal management, and smart materials, are discussed.

Abstract
What is the pressure generated by ice crystals during ice-templating? This work addresses this crucial question by estimating the pressure exerted by oriented ice columns on a supramolecular probe composed of a lipid lamellar hydrogel during directional freezing. This process, also known as freeze-casting, has emerged as a unique processing technique for a broad class of organic, inorganic, soft, and biological materials. Nonetheless, the pressure exerted during and after crystallization between two ice columns is not known, despite its importance with respect to the fragility of the frozen material, especially for biological samples. By using the lamellar period of a glycolipid lamellar hydrogel as a common probe, we couple data obtained from ice-templated-resolved in situ synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) with data obtained from controlled adiabatic desiccation experiments. We estimate the pressure to vary between 1 ± 10% kbar at -15 °C and 3.5 ± 20% kbar at -60 °C.

Abstract
The inductions of both the mechanical microenvironment on cell behaviour and the polymeric scaffold on tissue regeneration have been well-proved. This study is aimed to investigate the possibility of guiding cell fate and tissue regeneration by the spatiotemporal controlling of contact stress between matrix materials and cells and to elucidate the mechanisms underlying. A series liquid crystal polymers of cholesteryl-oligo(lactic acid) (CLA) and an amorphous polymer of poly(lactic acid) were used as the growth substrates for fibroblast and skin tissue regeneration. The cellular and animal experiments show that, in the initial stage of wound healing, the liquid crystal texture of CLA films can provide an induced stress for the formation of focal adhesions and the activation of integrin β1/AKT signal pathway, resulting in advanced phenotypic transformation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, promoted collagen secretion and fast wound filling. But the gradually weakening cellular contact stress, induced by the decreasing of liquid crystal domains of matrix polymer during degradation, triggers the apoptosis of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, resulting in non-excessive collagen accumulation. Finally, the CLA groups exhibit no obvious scar formation, more regular cell arrangement and significantly lower type I collagen proportion in regenerated tissue than other groups. This study may inspire a new, effective and safe strategy for tissue regeneration.
