Abstract
This mini-review focuses on the various roles that ionic liquids (ILs) play in the development and applications of biopolymer-based drug delivery systems (DDSs). Biopolymers are particularly attractive as drug delivery matrices due to their biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, biodegradability, and strength, whereas ILs can assist the formation of drug delivery systems. In this work, we showcase the different strategies that were explored using ILs in biopolymer-based DDSs, including impregnation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs)-ILs into biopolymeric materials, employment of the ILs to simplify the process of making the biopolymer-based DDSs, and using the ILs either as dopants or as anchoring agents.

Abstract
Schinus molle (SM) was investigated as a primary source of cellulose with the aim of discovering resources to generate cellulose nanofibers (CNF). The SM was put through a soda pulping process to purify the cellulose, and then, the fiber was treated with an enzymatic treatment. Then, a twin-screw extruder and/or masuko were utilized to help with fiber delamination during the nanofibrillation process. After the enzymatic treatment, the twin-screw extruder and masuko treatment give a yield of 49.6 and 50.2%, respectively. The optical and atomic force microscopy, morfi, and polymerization degrees of prepared cellulosic materials were established. The pulp fibers, collected following each treatment stage, demonstrated that fiber characteristics such as length and crystallinity varied according to the used treatment (mechanical or enzymatic treatment). Obviously, the enzymic treatment resulted in shorter fibers and an increased degree of polymerization. However, the CNF obtained after enzymatic and extrusion treatment was achieved, and it gave 19 nm as the arithmetic width and a Young's modulus of 8.63 GPa.

Abstract
Cellulose fibers have been one of the most common fibers due to their biodegradability, excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, high absorption ability, cheapness and renewability. In this study, novel, simple and green method is concerned with the production of multifunctional cellulose nanofibers (CNFs). Nanocomposites consisting of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and polyaniline (PANi) were in situ synthesized into plasma-pretreated cellulosic nanofibers fabricated by solution blowing spinning technique. The produced cellulose acetate nanofibers were then subjected to deacetylation followed by plasma-activation followed by a treatment with aniline and silver nitrate (AgNO3) in the presence of ammonium acetate. Plasma-assisted oxidation polymerization process of aniline into PANi associated with a reduction of Ag+ into AgNPs results in their permanent insolubility into the surface of the cellulose nanofibers. The morphologies and elemental contents were determined by polarizing optical microscope (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), energy-dispersive X-ray patterns and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Additionally, transmission electron microscope (TEM) was applied to explore the morphologies of silver nanoparticles and PANi showing particle diameter between 12 and 25 nm. The antimicrobial Ag NPs were formed from an aqueous medium of silver nitrate by taking the reduction ability advantage of the electrically active PANi. The immobilization of polyaniline and silver nanoparticles into the surface of the cellulose nanofibers enhanced its electrical conductivity. The produced CNFs demonstrated a high UV protection as well as antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Neural tissue engineering strategies are paramount to create fully mature neurons, necessary for new therapeutic strategies for neurological diseases or the creation of reliable in vitro models. Scaffolds can provide physical support for these neurons and enable cues for enhancing neural cell differentiation, such as electrical current. Coaxial electrospinning fibers, designed to fulfill neural cell needs, bring together an electroconductive shell layer (PCL-PANI), able to mediate electrical stimulation of cells cultivated on fibers mesh surface, and a soft core layer (PGS), used to finetune fiber diameter (951 ± 465 nm) and mechanical properties (1.3 ± 0.2 MPa). Those dual functional coaxial fibers are electroconductive (0.063 ± 0.029 S cm-1, stable over 21 days) and biodegradable (72% weigh loss in 12 hours upon human lipase accelerated assay). For the first time, the long-term effects of electrical stimulation on induced neural progenitor cells were studied using such fibers. The results show increase in neural maturation (upregulation of MAP2, NEF-H and SYP), up-regulation of glutamatergic marker genes (VGLUT1 - 15-fold) and voltage-sensitive channels (SCN1α - 12-fold, CACNA1C - 32-fold), and a down-regulation of GABAergic marker (GAD67 - 0.09-fold), as detected by qRT-PCR. Therefore, this study suggest a shift from an inhibitory to an excitatory neural cell profile. This work shows that the PGS/PCL-PANI coaxial fibers here developed have potential applications in neural tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cellulose and its forms are widely used in biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and lack of cytotoxicity. It provides ample opportunities for the functionalization of supported magnetic nanohybrids (CSMNs). Because of the abundance of surface hydroxyl groups, they are surface tunable in either homogeneous or heterogeneous solvents and thus act as a substrate or template for the CSMNs' development. The present review emphasizes on the synthesis of various CSMNs, their physicomagnetic properties, and potential applications such as stimuli-responsive drug delivery systems, MRI, enzyme encapsulation, nucleic acid extraction, wound healing and tissue engineering. The impact of CSMNs on cytotoxicity, magnetic hyperthermia, and folate-conjugates is highlighted in particular, based on their structures, cell viability, and stability. Finally, the review also discussed the challenges and prospects of CSMNs' development. This review is expected to provide CSMNs' development roadmap in the context of 21st-century demands for biomedical therapeutics.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO), due to its properties, such as nanometric dimensions, large specific surface area, and biocompatibility, can be used as a carrier in controlled drug release systems. The method of its chemical activation before drug molecules binding was elaborated. Doxorubicin (DOX), an anticancer drug, was attached to the surface of GO via the Gly-Gly-Leu linker. Approximately 3.07 · 1020 molecules of the tripeptide were attached to 1 g of GO and subsequently almost the same number of DOX molecules. GO was suspended inside a sol surrounded by a thin porous membrane. The bound DOX was effectively released using thermolysin, an enzyme cleaving peptide bonds between Gly and Leu inside the linker structure. The membrane, as the shell was responsible for keeping enzyme molecules in their native form and GO flakes inside the carrier, simultaneously allowed the released drug molecules to diffuse outside. The rate of drug release was described as a function of the enzyme concentration and mass of DOX expressed on carrier volume; thus, the daily dose and length of the therapy can be controlled. Studies involving the cell line of mice fibrosarcoma WEHI 164 have shown that the prepared carrier itself is not toxic and only the introduction of DOX-releasing enzyme into it causes cell death.

MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2020; 107:110291.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a valuable technology for cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) due to its ability to produce fibrous scaffolds mimicking the nanoscale and alignment of collagen fibers present within the superficial zone of articular cartilage. Coaxial electrospinning allows the fabrication of core-shell fibers able to incorporate and release bioactive molecules (e.g., drugs or growth factors) in a controlled manner. Herein, we used coaxial electrospinning to produce coaxial poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS)/poly(caprolactone) (PCL) aligned nanofibers (core:PGS/shell:PCL). The obtained scaffolds were characterized in terms of their structure, chemical composition, thermal properties, mechanical performance and in vitro degradation kinetics, in comparison to monoaxial PCL aligned fibers and respective non-aligned controls. All the electrospun scaffolds produced presented average fiber diameters within the nanometer-scale and the core-shell structure of the composite fibers was clearly confirmed by TEM. Additionally, fiber alignment significantly increased (>2-fold) the elastic modulus of both coaxial and monoxial scaffolds. Kartogenin (KGN), a small molecule known to promote mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) chondrogenesis, was loaded into the core PGS solution to generate coaxial PGS-KGN/PCL nanofibers. The KGN release kinetics and scaffold biological performance were evaluated in comparison to KGN-loaded monoaxial fibers and respective non-loaded controls. Coaxial PGS-KGN/PCL nanofibers showed a more controlled and sustained KGN release over 21 days than monoaxial PCL-KGN nanofibers. When cultured with human bone marrow MSC in incomplete chondrogenic medium (without TGF-β3), KGN-loaded scaffolds enhanced significantly cell proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation, as suggested by the increased sGAG amounts and chondrogenic markers gene expression levels. Overall, these findings highlight the potential of using coaxial PGS-KGN/PCL aligned nanofibers as a bioactive scaffold for CTE applications.

Abstract
Heparin (Hep) was grafted to a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogel surface by using the covalent grafting method. The structure of the modified hydrogel was determined from Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflection and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The thermal stability of the samples was investigated by thermogravimetry–differential thermal analysis. The effects of the concentration of (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (kh550) and Hep on visible light transmittance, moisture content, equilibrium swelling, hydrophilicity and percentage of Hep sodium release of the composite hydrogel were studied. The visible light transmittance of the modified PVA hydrogel was above 94%. The time of swelling equilibrium was about 60 min and the equilibrium swelling ratio ranged from 3·0 to 3·5. The hydrophilicity was enhanced, and the static water contact angle decreased from 41 to 28°. The bioeffects of the PVA–kh550–Hep hydrogel were evaluated by studying cell adhesion and proliferation. During the adhesion assay in vitro, cell adhesion significantly decreased after the interfaces had been modified with Hep. The Cell Counting Kit-8 assay showed that the biocompatibility of the PVA–kh550–Hep hydrogel improved obviously compared to that of pure PVA. The experimental results demonstrated that the PVA–kh550–Hep hydrogel had good stability, bioactivity and biocompatibility, suggesting its potential applications in artificial corneas.

Abstract
High-performance cellulose-halloysite hemostatic nanocomposite fibers (CHNFs) are fabricated using a one-step wet-wet electrospinning process and evaluated for human plasma coagulation by activated partial thromboplastin time. These novel biocompatible CHNFs exhibit 2.4 times faster plasma coagulation time compared with the industry gold standard QuikClot Combat Gauze (QCG). The CHNFs have superior antileaching property of clay with 3 times higher post-wetting clotting activity compared to QCG. The CHNFs also coagulate whole blood 1.3 times faster than the QCG and retain twice the clotting performance after washing. Halloysite clay is also more effective in plasma coagulation than commercial kaolin clay. The physical and thermal properties of the CHNFs were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis. CHNFs show a 7-fold greater clay loading than QCG and their small average diameter of 450 ± 260 nm affords a greater specific surface area (33.6 m2 g-1) compared with the larger average diameter of 12.6 ± 0.9 μm for QCG with a specific surface area of 1.6 m2 g-1. The CHNFs were shown to be noncytotoxic and human primary fibroblasts proliferated on the composite material. The drastic reduction in coagulation time makes this novel nanocomposite a potential lifesaving material for victims of rapid blood loss such as military personnel and patients undergoing major surgical procedures or to aid in the treatment of unexpected bleeding episodes of patients suffering from hereditary blood clotting disorders. Since a person can die within minutes of heavy bleeding, every second counts for stopping traumatic hemorrhaging.

Abstract
Biopolymer-based composite materials have many potential applications in biomedical, pharmaceutical, environmental, biocatalytic, and bioelectronic fields, owing to their inherent biocompatibility and biodegradability. When used as solvents, ionic liquids can be used to fabricate biopolymers such as polysaccharides and proteins into various forms, including molded shapes, films, fibers, and beads. This article summarizes the processes for preparing biopolymer-based composite materials using ionic liquids. The processes include biopolymer dissolution using ionic liquids, regeneration of the biopolymer by an anti-solvent, formation of shapes, and drying of the regenerated biopolymer. In particular, the preparation and applications of biopolymer blend-based composite materials containing two or more biopolymers are addressed.

Abstract
Poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS) has increasingly become a desirable biomaterial due to its elastic mechanical properties, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Here, we report microfibrous core-shell mats of polycaprolactone (PCL)-PGS prepared using wet-wet coaxial electrospinning. The anticoagulant heparin was immobilized onto the surface of these electrospun fiber mats, and they were evaluated for their chemical, mechanical, and biological properties. The core-shell structure of PCL-PGS provided tunable degradation and mechanical properties. The slowly degrading PCL provided structural integrity, and the fast degrading PGS component increased fiber elasticity. Young's modulus of PCL-PGS ranged from 5.6 to 15.7 MPa. The ultimate tensile stress ranged from 2.0 to 2.9 MPa, and these fibers showed elongation from 290 to 900%. The addition of PGS and grafting of heparin improved the attachment and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Core-shell PCL-PGS fibers demonstrate improved performance as three-dimensional fibrous mats for potential tissue-engineering applications.
