Abstract
Inorganic biomaterials are used in various orthopedic and dental implants. Nevertheless, they cause clinical issues such as loosening of implants and patient morbidity. Therefore, inspired by mussel adhesive proteins, we aimed to design an adhesive and dimer-forming highly active bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) using bioorthogonal chemistry, in which recombinant DNA technology was combined with enzymatic modifications, to achieve long-term osseointegration with titanium. The prepared BMP-2 exhibited substantially higher binding activity than wild-type BMP-2, while the adhered BMP-2 was more active than soluble BMP-2. Therefore, the adhesive BMP-2 was immobilized onto titanium wires and screws and implanted into rat bones, and long-term osteogenesis was evaluated. Adhesive BMP-2 promoted the mechanical binding of titanium to bones, enabling efficient bone regeneration and effective stabilization of implants. Thus, such adhesive biosignaling proteins can be used in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
With its involvement in cell proliferation, migration and differentiation basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has great potential for tissue engineering purposes. So far, however, clinical translation of soluble bFGF-based therapies is unsuccessful, because the required effective doses are often supraphysiological, which may cause adverse effects. An effective solution is growth factor immobilization, whereby bFGF retains its bioactivity at increased efficacy. Studied carriers include films, solid scaffolds, and particles, as well as natural and synthetic hydrogels. However, these synthetic hydrogels poorly resemble the characteristics of the native extracellular matrix (ECM). In this work, bFGF is covalently conjugated to the synthetic, but highly biocompatible, polyisocyanide-based hydrogel (PIC-bFGF), which closely mimics the architecture and mechanical properties of the ECM. The growth factor conjugation protocol is straightforward and readily extrapolated to other growth factors or proteins. The PIC-bFGF hydrogel shows a prolonged bioactivity up to 4 weeks although no clear effects on the ECM metabolism are observed. Beyond the future potential of the PIC-bFGF hydrogel toward various tissue engineering applications, this work underlines that simple biological conjugation procedures are a powerful strategy to induce additional bioactivity in 3D synthetic cell culture matrices.

Abstract
Photo-reactive polymers are important for biomaterials, including devices with a 3D-structure. Here, different types of photo-reactive polymers were prepared and utilised for immobilisation of growth factors. They were synthesised by conjugation of gelatin with the azidophenyl group or by copolymerisation of the azidophenyl group-coupled methacrylate with poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate. The azidophenyl content and the zeta potential of the prepared polymers were measured. After spin coating of polymers, the thickness and the water contact angle of coated layers were measured. The amount of the immobilised epidermal growth factor (EGF) was determined using fluorescence labelling. Cell adhesion responded to the nature of photo-reactive polymers but did not depend on the immobilised EGF. However, cell growth was dependent on the amount of immobilised EGF and was significantly affected by the nature of photo-reactive polymers. The study shows that the properties of the photo-immobilisation matrix significantly influence the biological activity.

Abstract
Biomaterials for tissue scaffolds are key components in modern tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Targeted reconstructive therapies require a proper choice of biomaterial and an adequate choice of cells to be seeded on it. The introduction of stem cells, and the transdifferentiation procedures, into regenerative medicine opened a new era and created new challenges for modern biomaterials. They must not only fulfill the mechanical functions of a scaffold for implanted cells and represent the expected mechanical strength of the artificial tissue, but furthermore, they should also assure their survival and, if possible, affect their desired way of differentiation. This paper aims to review how modern biomaterials, including synthetic (i.e., polylactic acid, polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene terephthalate, ceramics) and natural (i.e., silk fibroin, decellularized scaffolds), both non-biodegradable and biodegradable, could influence (tissue) stem cells fate, regulate and direct their differentiation into desired target somatic cells.

Bioorthogonal DOPA-NGF activated tissue engineering microunits for recovery from traumatic brain injury by microenvironment regulation. Acta Biomater 2022; 150:67-82.

Abstract
Stem cell treatment is vital for recovery from traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, severe TBI usually leads to excessive inflammation and neuroinhibitory factors in the injured brain, resulting in poor neural cell survival and uncontrolled formation of glial scars. In this study, a bioorthogonal microenvironment was constructed on biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microcarriers through immobilization of mussel-inspired bioorthogonal 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-containing recombinant nerve growth factor (DOPA-NGF) and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUMSCs) for minimally invasive therapy of TBI. Cell culture and RNA-seq analysis revealed enhanced extracellular matrix (ECM) secretion and viability of hUMSCs on PLGA microcarriers compared to 2D culture. Immobilized DOPA-NGF further promoted adhesion, proliferation, and gene expression in RSC96 neurotrophic cells and hUMSCs. Specifically, the neurotrophin receptor of NT-3 (NTRK3) in hUMSCs was activated by DOPA-NGF, leading to MYC transcription and paracrine enhancement to build an adjustable biomimetic microenvironment. After transplantation of microunits in animal models, the motor and learning-memory ability of TBI mice were improved through rollbacks of overactivated inflammatory reaction regulation, neuronal death, and glial scar formation after injury. This was attributed to the paracrine enhancement of hUMSCs activated by the DOPA-NGF. Our study provides a neural regenerative microenvironment-based therapeutic strategy to advance the effects of transplanted hUMSCs in cell-based regenerative medicine for TBI therapy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Extensive studies have demonstrated the importance of the microenvironment for posttraumatic brain injury recovery. However, an efficient method that can mimic the neural regenerative microenvironment to strengthen stem cell therapy and brain injury recovery is still absent. In this study, the minimally invasive transplantation of DOPA-NGF immobilized biodegradable microcarriers with mesenchymal stem cells was found to be an effective method for regeneration of injured brain. Moreover, transcriptome analysis revealed that neurotrophin receptor of NT-3 (NTRK3) was activated by DOPA-NGF for MYC transcription and paracrine enhancement to build a kind of adjustable biomimetic microenvironment for brain injury therapy. This study provides a neural regenerative microenvironment-based therapeutic strategy to advance the transplanted hUMSCs in cell-based regenerative medicine for neural recovery.

Abstract
This study demonstrated both adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) in vitro and in vivo combined with three-dimensional (3D) porous sponge matrices on implant wound healing. Sponge matrices were created from hyaluronic acid (HA), collagen (Col), and gelatin (Gel), constructing two types: HA-L (low content) and HA-H (high content), to be cross-linked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy method verified carboxyl groups of HA and amino groups of Col and Gel reacting between the raw materials and scaffolds to identify the successive cross-linking. The swelling ratios of two types of sponge matrices were analyzed by water absorption capabilities, and the results displayed both over 30-fold dry scaffold weight enhancements. In biodegradation tests, matrices were hydrolyzed over time by three cutaneous enzymes, hyaluronidase, lysozyme, and collagenase I. ASCs from rats were cultured within the HA-H scaffold, demonstrating higher antioxidative abilities and secretions on related genes and proteins compared to the other two groups. The ASC HA-H matrix promoted cell proliferation to stimulate capillary angiogenesis inducer secretions, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β). In vivo histological examinations showed ASCs from implanted HA-H implant transported into the subcutis, and rat skin cells also infiltrated into the original matrix zone to increase the extracellular matrix (ECM) reconstructions. Our experimental data revealed that the ASC HA-H sponge implant was effective in improving wound repair.

Abstract
Artificial materials have no biological functions, but they are important for medical devices such as artificial organs and matrices for regenerative medicine. In this study, mitogenic and differentiation-inducible materials are devised via the simple coating of polypeptides, which contain the sequence of epidermal growth factor or insulin-like growth factor with a key amino acid (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) of underwater adhesive proteins. The adhesive polypeptides prepared via solid-phase synthesis form layers on various substrates involving organic and inorganic materials to provide biological surfaces. Through the direct activation of cognate receptors on interactive surfaces, the materials enable increased cell growth and differentiation compared to that achieved by soluble growth factors. This superior growth and differentiation are attributed to the long-lasting signal transduction (triggered by the bound growth factors), which do not cause receptor internalization and subsequent downregulation.

Abstract
The ability to activate and regulate stem cells during wound healing and tissue regeneration is a promising field that is resulting in innovative approaches in the field of regenerative medicine. The regenerative capacity of invertebrates has been well documented; however, in mammals, stem cells that drive organ regeneration are rare. Deer antlers are the only known mammalian structure that can annually regenerate to produce a tissue containing dermis, blood vessels, nerves, cartilage, and bone. The neural crest derived stem cells that drive this process result in antlers growing at up to 2 cm/day. Deer antlers thus provide superior attributes compared to lower-order animal models, when investigating the regulation of stem cell-based regeneration. Antler stem cells can therefore be used as a model to investigate the bioactive molecules, biological processes, and pathways involved in the maintenance of a stem cell niche, and their activation and differentiation during organ formation. This review examines stem cell-based regeneration with a focus on deer antlers, a neural crest stem cell-based mammalian regenerative structure. It then discusses the omics technical platforms highlighting the proteomics approaches used for investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying stem cell regulation in antler tissues.

Abstract
Tympanic membrane (TM) perforation is a global clinical dilemma. It occurs as a consequence of object penetration, blast trauma, barotrauma, and middle ear diseases. TM perforation may lead to otitis media, retraction pockets, cholesteatoma, and conductive deafness. Molecular therapies may not be suitable to treat perforation because there is no underlying tissue matrix to support epithelium bridging. Chronic perforations are usually reconstructed with autologous grafts via surgical myringoplasty. Surgical treatment is uncomfortable for the patients. The grafting materials are not perfect because they produce an opaque membrane, fail in up to 20% of cases, and are suboptimal to restore acoustic function. Millions of patients from developing parts of the world have not got access to surgical grafting due to operational complexities, lack of surgical resources, and high cost. These shortcomings emphasize bioengineering to improve placement options, healing rate, hearing outcomes, and minimize surgical procedures. This review highlights cellular, structural, pathophysiological, and perforation specific determinants that affect healing, acoustic and surgical outcomes; and integrates necessities relevant to bioengineered scaffolds. This study further summarizes scaffolding components, progress in scaffolding strategies and design, and engenders limitations and challenges for optimal bioengineering of chronic perforation.

Abstract
Engineered biomimetic cell niches represent a valuable in vitro tool for investigating physiological and pathological cellular activities, while developing an all-in-one technology to engineer cell niches, particularly soluble cell niche factors, with retained bioactivities, remains challenging. Here, we report a mask-free, non-contact and biocompatible multiphoton microfabrication and micropatterning (MMM) technology in engineering a spatially and quantitatively controllable bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) soluble niche, by immobilizing optimally biotinylated BMP-2 (bBMP-2) on micro-printed neutravidin (NA) micropatterns. Notably, the micropatterned NA bound-bBMP-2 niche elicited a more sustained and a higher level of the downstream Smad signaling than that by free BMP-2, in C2C12 cells, suggesting the advantages of immobilizing soluble niche factors on engineered micropatterns or scaffold materials. This work reports a universal all-in-one cell niche engineering platform and contributes to reconstituting heterogeneous native soluble cell niches for signal transduction modeling and drug screening studies.

Abstract
Hydrogels possessing the ability to control cell functions have great potential as artificial substrates for cell culture. Herein, we report dual-functionalizable protein-polymer hybrid hydrogels prepared by thiol oxidation catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase and a phenolic molecule. A chimera protein of streptavidin (SA) and the SpyCatcher protein, with a cysteine residue at its N-terminus, (C-SA-SC) was constructed and co-cross-linked with thiol-functionalized four-arm polyethylene glycol (PEG-SH) to obtain hydrogels possessing two orthogonal conjugation moieties. Hydrogel formation using C-SA-SC conjugated with biotinylated or SpyTagged functional molecules (premodification strategy) resulted in the formation of hydrogels with a uniform distribution of the functional molecules. Postmodification of the functional molecules of the C-SA-SC hydrogel with biotin or SpyTag could alter the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of the functional molecules within the hydrogels depending on the mode of conjugation (SA/biotin or SpyCatcher/SpyTag), the size of the functional molecules, and the length of time of the modification. NIH-3T3 cells cultured on a C-SA-SC hydrogel, dual-functionalized with a biotinylated-Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser (RGDS) peptide and a basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) with SpyTag, showed cell adhesion to the PEG-SH-based hydrogels and cell morphological changes in response to the immobilized RGDS peptide and the bFGF. Moreover, the cells showed higher proliferation on the dual-functionalized C-SA-SC hydrogel than the cells cultured on hydrogels without either the RGDS peptide or the bFGF, demonstrating the benefits of dual-functionalizable hydrogels. The C-SA-SC hydrogel presented in this study is capable of being orthogonally functionalized by two different functional molecules with different 3D distributions of each molecule within the hydrogel and thus has the potential for use as a cell culturing scaffold for creating artificial cellular microstructures.

Abstract
Polymer scaffolds constitute a very interesting strategy for tissue engineering. Even though they are generally non-toxic, in some cases, they may not provide suitable support for cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, which decelerates tissue regeneration. To improve biological properties, scaffolds are frequently enriched with bioactive molecules, inter alia extracellular matrix proteins, adhesive peptides, growth factors, hormones, and cytokines. Although there are many papers describing synthesis and properties of polymer scaffolds enriched with proteins or peptides, few reviews comprehensively summarize these bioactive molecules. Thus, this review presents the current knowledge about the most important proteins and peptides used for modification of polymer scaffolds for tissue engineering. This paper also describes the influence of addition of proteins and peptides on physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of polymer scaffolds. Moreover, this article sums up the major applications of some biodegradable natural and synthetic polymer scaffolds modified with proteins and peptides, which have been developed within the past five years.
