Abstract
Amniotic membrane (AM) is an attractive source for bone tissue engineering because of its low immunogenicity, contains biomolecules and proteins, and osteogenic differentiation properties. Hydroxyapatite is widely used as bone scaffolds due to its biocompatibility and bioactivity properties. The aim of this study is to design and fabricate scaffold based on hydroxyapatite-coated decellularized amniotic membrane (DAM-HA) for bone tissue engineering purpose. So human amniotic membranes were collected from healthy donors and decellularized (DAM). Then a hydroxyapatite-coating was created by immersion in 10X SBF, under variable parameters of pH and incubation time. Hydroxyapatite-coating was characterized and the optimal sample was selected. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell behaviors were assessed on control, amniotic membrane, and coated amniotic membrane. The results of the SEM, MTT assay, and Live-Dead staining showed that DAM and DAM-HA support cell adhesion, viability and proliferation. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by assessment of alkaline phosphatase activity and expression of osteogenic markers. Maximum gene expression values compared to control occurred in 14 days for alkalin phosphatase, while the highest values for osteocalcin and osteopontin in 21 days. These gene expression values in DAM and DAM-HA for alkalin phosphatase is 6.41 and 8.47, for osteocalcin is 3.95 and 5.94 and for osteopontin is 5.59 and 9.9 respectively. The results of this study indicated DAM supports the survival and growth of stem cells. Also, addition of hydroxyapatite component to DAM promotes osteogenic differentiation while maintaining viability. Therefore, hydroxyapatite-coated decellularized amniotic membrane can be a promising choice for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, which often results in recurrent shoulder pain and limited movement. Enthesis is a structurally complex and functionally critical interface connecting tendon and bone that plays an essential role in maintaining integrity of the shoulder joint. Despite the availability of advanced surgical procedures for rotator cuff repair, there is a high rate of failure following surgery due to suboptimal enthesis healing and regeneration. Novel strategies based on tissue engineering are gaining popularity in improving tendon-bone interface (TBI) regeneration. Through incorporating physical and biochemical cues into scaffold design which mimics the structure and composition of native enthesis is advantageous to guide specific differentiation of seeding cells and facilitate the formation of functional tissues. In this review, we summarize the current state of research in enthesis tissue engineering highlighting the development and application of biomimetic scaffolds that replicate the gradient TBI. We also discuss the latest techniques for fabricating potential translatable scaffolds such as 3D bioprinting and microfluidic device. While preclinical studies have demonstrated encouraging results of biomimetic gradient scaffolds, the translation of these findings into clinical applications necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their safety and long-term efficacy.

Abstract
Scaffolds for bone tissue engineering should enable regeneration of bone tissues with its native hierarchically organized extracellular matrix (ECM) and multiple tissue interfaces. To achieve this, inspired by the structure and properties of bone osteon, we fabricated polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)-based mineralized electrospun fibrous scaffolds. After studying multiple PHB-based fibers, we chose 7%PHB/1%Gelatin fibers (PG) to fabricate mineralized fibers that mimic mineralized collagen fibers in bone. The mineralized PG (mPG) surface had a rough, hydrophilic layer of low crystalline calcium phosphate which was biocompatible to bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs), induced their proliferation and was osteoinductive. Subsequently, by modulating the electrospinning process, we fabricated mPG-based novel higher order fibrous scaffolds that mimic the macroscale geometries of osteons of bone ECM. Inspired by the aligned collagen fibers in bone lamellae, we fabricated mPG scaffolds with aligned fibers that could direct anisotropic elongation of mouse BMSC (mBMSCs). Further, we fabricated electrospun mPG-based osteoinductive tubular constructs which can mimic cylindrical bone components like osteons or lamellae or be used as long bone analogues based on their dimensions. Finally, to regenerate tissue interfaces in bone, we introduced a novel bi-layered scaffold-based approach. An electrospun bi-layered tubular construct that had PG in the outer layer and 7%PHB/0.5%Polypyrrole fibers (PPy) in the inner layer was fabricated. The bi-layered tubular construct underwent preferential surface mineralization only on its outer layer. This outer mineralized layer supported osteogenesis while the inner PPy layer could support neural cell growth. Thus, the bi-layered tubular construct may be used to regenerate haversian canal in the osteons which hosts nerve fibers. Overall, the study introduced novel techniques to fabricate biomimetic structures that can regenerate components of bone osteon and its multiple tissue interfaces. The study lays foundation for the fabrication of a modular scaffold that can regenerate bone with its hierarchical structure and complex tissue interfaces.

Abstract
The regeneration of tendon and bone junctions (TBJs), a fibrocartilage transition zone between tendons and bones, is a challenge due to the special triphasic structure. In our study, a silk fibroin (SF)-based triphasic scaffold consisting of aligned type I collagen (Col I), transforming growth factor β (TGF-β), and hydroxyapatite (HA) was fabricated to mimic the compositional gradient feature of the native tendon-bone architecture. Rat tendon-derived stem cells (rTDSCs) were loaded on the triphasic SF scaffold, and the high cell viability suggested that the scaffold presents good biocompatibility. Meanwhile, increased expressions of tenogenic-, chondrogenic-, and osteogenic-related genes in the TBJs were observed. The in vivo studies of the rTDSC-seeded scaffold in a rat TBJ rupture model showed tendon tissue regeneration with a clear transition zone within 8 weeks of implantation. These results indicated that the biomimetic triphasic SF scaffolds seeded with rTDSCs have great potential to be applied in TBJ regeneration.

Abstract
Scaffold development approaches using autologous sources for tissue repair are of great importance in obtaining bio-active/-compatible constructs. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) containing various growth factors and platelet lysate (PL) derived from PRP are autologous products that have the potential to accelerate the tissue repair response by inducing a transient inflammatory event. Considering the regenerative capacity of PRP and PL, PRP/PL-based scaffolds are thought to hold great promise for tissue engineering as a natural source of autologous growth factors and a provider of mechanical support for cells. Here, a bio-mineralized PRP-based scaffold was developed using oxidized dextran (OD) and evaluated for future application in bone tissue engineering. Prepared PL/OD scaffolds were incubated in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 7, 14 and 21 d periods. Mineralized PL/OD scaffolds were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis, porosity and compression tests. SEM and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy analyses revealed mineral accumulation on the PL/OD scaffold as a result of SBF incubation.In vitrocytotoxicity andin vitrohemolysis tests revealed that the scaffolds were non-toxic and hemocompatible. Additionally, human osteoblasts (hOBs) exhibited good attachment and spreading behavior on the scaffolds and maintained their viability throughout the culture period. The alkaline phosphatase activity assay and calcium release results revealed that PL/OD scaffolds preserved the osteogenic properties of hOBs. Overall, findings suggest that mineralized PL/OD scaffold may be a promising scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

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
With the current developmental advancements in nanotechnology, nanofibrous scaffolds are being widely used. The healing of fibrocartilaginous enthesis is a slow and complex process, and while existing treatments have a certain effect on promoting their healing, these are associated with some limitations. The nanofibrous scaffold has the advantages of easy preparation, wide source of raw materials, easy adjustment, easy modification, can mimic the natural structure and morphology of the fibrocartilaginous enthesis, and has good biocompatibility, which can compensate for existing treatments and be combined with them to promote the repair of fibrocartilaginous enthesis. The nanofibrous scaffold can promote the healing of fibrocartilaginous enthesis by controlling the morphology and ensuring controlled drug release. Hence, the use of nanofibrous scaffold with stimulative response features in the musculoskeletal system has led us to imagine its potential application in fibrocartilaginous enthesis. Therefore, the healing of fibrocartilaginous enthesis based on a nanofibrous scaffold may be a novel therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Introduction The repair of bone defects is ideally accomplished with bone tissue engineering. Recent studies have explored the possibility of functional modification of scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. We prepared an SF-CS-nHA (SCN) biomimetic bone scaffold and functionally modified the scaffold material by adding a polydopamine (PDA) coating loaded with exosomes (Exos) of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). The effects of the functional composite scaffold (SCN/PDA-Exo) on BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation were investigated. Furthermore, the SCN/PDA-Exo scaffolds were implanted into animals to evaluate their effect on bone regeneration. Methods SCN biomimetic scaffolds were prepared by a vacuum freeze-drying/chemical crosslinking method. A PDA-functionalized coating loaded with BMSC-Exos was added by the surface coating method. The physical and chemical properties of the functional composite scaffolds were detected by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy spectrum analysis and contact angle tests. In vitro, BMSCs were inoculated on different scaffolds, and the Exo internalization by BMSCs was detected by confocal microscopy. The BMSC proliferation activity and cell morphology were detected by SEM, CCK-8 assays and phalloidin staining. BMSC osteogenic differentiation was detected by immunofluorescence, alizarin red staining and qRT‒PCR. In vivo, the functional composite scaffold was implanted into a rabbit critical radial defect model. Bone repair was detected by 3D-CT scanning. HE staining, Masson staining, and immunohistochemistry were used to evaluate bone regeneration. Results Compared with the SCN scaffold, the SCN/PDA-Exo-functionalized composite scaffold had a larger average surface roughness and stronger hydrophilicity. In vitro, the Exos immobilized on the SCN/PDA-Exo scaffolds were internalized by BMSCs. The BMSC morphology, proliferation ability and osteogenic differentiation effect in the SCN/PDA-Exo group were significantly better than those in the other control groups (p < 0.05). The effects of the SCN/PDA-Exo functional composite scaffold on bone defect repair and new bone formation were significantly better than those of the other control groups (p < 0.05). Conclusions In this study, we found that the SCN/PDA-Exo-functionalized composite scaffold promoted BMSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in vitro and improved bone regeneration efficiency in vivo. Therefore, combining Exos with biomimetic bone scaffolds by functional PDA coatings may be an effective strategy for functionally modifying biological scaffolds.

Abstract
Enthesis, the interfacial tissue between a tendon/ligament and bone, exhibits a complex histological transition from soft to hard tissue, which significantly complicates its repair and regeneration after injury. Because traditional surgical treatments for enthesis injury are not satisfactory, tissue engineering has emerged as a strategy for improving treatment success. Rapid advances in enthesis tissue engineering have led to the development of several strategies for promoting enthesis tissue regeneration, including biological scaffolds, cells, growth factors, and biophysical modulation. In this review, we discuss recent advances in enthesis tissue engineering, particularly the use of biological scaffolds, as well as perspectives on the future directions in enthesis tissue engineering.

Abstract
Repairing injured tendon or ligament attachments to bones (enthesis) remains costly and challenging. Despite superb surgical management, the disorganized enthesis newly formed after surgery accounts for high recurrence rates after operations. Tissue engineering offers efficient alternatives to promote healing and regeneration of the specialized enthesis tissue. Load-transmitting functions thus can be restored with appropriate biomaterials and engineering strategies. Interestingly, recent studies have focused more on microstructure especially the arrangement of fibers since Rossetti successfully demonstrated the variability of fiber underspecific external force. In this review, we provide an important update on the current strategies for scaffold-based tissue engineering of enthesis when natural structure and properties are equally emphasized. We firstly described compositions, structures and features of natural enthesis with their special mechanical properties highlighted. Stimuli for growth, development and healing of enthesis widely used in popular strategies are systematically summarized. We discuss the fabrication of engineering scaffolds from the aspects of biomaterials, techniques and design strategies and comprehensively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each strategy. At last, this review pinpoints the remaining challenges and research directions to make breakthroughs in further studies.

Abstract
Interface tissue engineering is a rapidly growing field that aims to develop engineered tissue alternates with the goal of promoting integration between multiple tissue types. Engineering interface tissues is a complex process, which requires a specialized biomaterials with organized material composition, stiffness, cell types, and signaling molecules. Among these, stiffness-controllable substrates have been developed to investigate the effect of stiffness on cell behavior. Especially these substrates with graded stiffness are advantageous since they allow the differentiation of multiple cell phenotypes and subsequent tissue development. In this review, we highlight the various types of manufacturing techniques that can be leveraged to fabricate scaffolds with stiffness gradient, discuss methods to characterize them, and gradient biomaterials for controlling cellular behavior including attachment, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. We also address fundamentals of interface tissue organization, and stiffness gradient biomaterials for interface tissue regeneration. Potential challenges and future directions in this emerging field are also discussed.

Abstract
3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds functionalized with conductive polymers have demonstrated significant potential in regenerative applications for their structural tunability, physiochemical compatibility, and electroactivity. Controllably generating conductive hydrogels with fine features, however, has proven challenging. Here, micro-continuous liquid interface production (μCLIP) method is utilized to 3D print poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (pHEMA) hydrogels. With a unique in-situ polymerization approach, a sulfonated monomer is first incorporated into the hydrogel matrix and subsequently polymerized into a conjugated polyelectrolyte, poly(4-(2,3-dihydro-thieno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxin-2-ylmethoxy)-butane-1 sulfonic acid sodium salt (PEDOT-S). Rod structures are fabricated at different crosslinking levels to investigate PEDOT-S incorporation and its effect on bulk hydrogel electronic and mechanical properties. After demonstrating that PEDOT-S does not significantly compromise the structures of the bulk material, pHEMA scaffolds are fabricated via μCLIP with features smaller than 100 µm. Scaffold characterization confirms PEDOT-S incorporation bolstered conductivity while lowering overall modulus. Finally, C2C12 myoblasts are seeded on PEDOT-pHEMA structures to verify cytocompatibility and the potential of this material in future regenerative applications. PEDOT-pHEMA scaffolds promote increased cell viability relative to their non-conductive counterparts and differentially influence cell organization. Taken together, this study presents a promising new approach for fabricating complex conductive hydrogel structures for regenerative applications.

Abstract
Biodegradable porous scaffolds with different structure, porosity, and strength play a critical role in the repair and regeneration of defects in bone tissue engineering by changing the proliferation condition for cell. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) scaffold with directional porous structure is designed and fabricated using the method of ice template and phase inversion for speeding up bone repair by promoting the growth and proliferation of bone cells. The morphology, mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, and wicking properties of PLA scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscope, universal testing machine, contact angle tester and wicking rate test, respectively. In vitro biocompatibility has been investigated through measuring cell adhesion, proliferation, and viability on PLA scaffold with directional porous structure. Prepared PLA scaffold was implanted into animals to observe the repair mechanism of large-sized bone defects. This study proposes a novel bioporous scaffold design to induce osteocyte growth at the rat calvaria with a directional pore structure, and the scaffold edges were integrated with the calvaria at week 12, effectively promoting the repair and regeneration of defective bone tissue.

Abstract
Tendinopathy is a multi-faceted pathology characterized by alterations in tendon microstructure, cellularity and collagen composition. Challenged by the possibility of regenerating pathological or ruptured tendons, the healing mechanisms of this tissue have been widely researched over the past decades. However, so far, most of the cellular players and processes influencing tendon repair remain unknown, which emphasizes the need for developing relevant in vitro models enabling to study the complex multicellular crosstalk occurring in tendon microenvironments. In this review, we critically discuss the insights on the interaction between tenocytes and the other tendon resident cells that have been devised through different types of existing in vitro models. Building on the generated knowledge, we stress the need for advanced models able to mimic the hierarchical architecture, cellularity and physiological signaling of tendon niche under dynamic culture conditions, along with the recreation of the integrated gradients of its tissue interfaces. In a forward-looking vision of the field, we discuss how the convergence of multiple bioengineering technologies can be leveraged as potential platforms to develop the next generation of relevant in vitro models that can contribute for a deeper fundamental knowledge to develop more effective treatments.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal (MS) system consists of bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and skeletal muscle, which forms the basic framework of the human body. This system plays a vital role in appropriate body functions, including movement, the protection of internal organs, support, hematopoiesis, and postural stability. Therefore, it is understandable that the damage or loss of MS tissues significantly reduces the quality of life and limits mobility. Tissue engineering and its applications in the healthcare industry have been rapidly growing over the past few decades. Tissue engineering has made significant contributions toward developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of MS defects and relevant disease. Among various biomaterials used for tissue engineering, natural polymers offer superior properties that promote optimal cell interaction and desired biological function. Natural polymers have similarity with the native ECM, including enzymatic degradation, bio-resorb and non-toxic degradation products, ability to conjugate with various agents, and high chemical versatility, biocompatibility, and bioactivity that promote optimal cell interaction and desired biological functions. This review summarizes recent advances in applying natural-based scaffolds for musculoskeletal tissue engineering.

Pharmaceutics 2022; 14:pharmaceutics14030601.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM), comprising of hundreds of proteins, mainly collagen, provides physical, mechanical support for various cells and guides cell behavior as an interactive scaffold. However, deposition of ECM, especially collagen content, is seriously impaired in diabetic wounds, which cause inferior mechanical properties of the wound and further delay chronic wound healing. Thus, it is critical to develop ECM/collagen alternatives to remodel the mechanical properties of diabetic wounds and thus accelerate diabetic wound healing. Here, we firstly prepared mechanic-driven biodegradable PGA/SF nanofibrous scaffolds containing DFO for diabetic wound healing. In our study, the results in vitro showed that the PGA/SF-DFO scaffolds had porous three-dimensional nanofibrous structures, excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and biocompatibility, which would provide beneficial microenvironments for cell adhesion, growth, and migration as an ECM/collagen alternative. Furthermore, the data in vivo showed PGA/SF-DFO scaffolds can adhere well to the wound and have excellent biodegradability, which is helpful to avoid secondary damage by omitting the removal process of scaffolds. The finite element analysis results showed that the application of silk fibroin-based scaffolds could significantly reduce the maximum stress around the wound. Besides, PGA/SF-DFO scaffolds induced collagen deposition, re-vascularization, recovered impaired mechanical properties up to about 70%, and ultimately accelerated diabetic wound healing within 14 days. Thus, our work provides a promising therapeutic strategy for clinically chronic wound healing.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal engineering has been considered as a promising approach to customize regenerated tissue (such as bone, cartilage, tendon, and ligament) via a self-healing performance. Recent advances have demonstrated the great potential of bioactive materials for regenerative medicine. Silk fibroin (SF), a natural polymer, is regarded as a remarkable bioactive material for musculoskeletal engineering thanks to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and tunability. To improve tissue-engineering performance, silk fibroin is hybridized with other biomaterials to form silk-fibroin-based hybrid biomaterials, which achieve superior mechanical and biological performance. Herein, we summarize the recent development of silk-based hybrid biomaterials in musculoskeletal tissue with reasonable generalization and classification, mainly including silk fibroin-based inorganic and organic hybrid biomaterials. The applied inorganics are composed of calcium phosphate, graphene oxide, titanium dioxide, silica, and bioactive glass, while the polymers include polycaprolactone, collagen (or gelatin), chitosan, cellulose, and alginate. This article mainly focuses on the physical and biological performances both in vitro and in vivo study of several common silk-based hybrid biomaterials in musculoskeletal engineering. The timely summary and highlight of silk-fibroin-based hybrid biomaterials will provide a research perspective to promote the further improvement and development of silk fibroin hybrid biomaterials for improved musculoskeletal engineering.

Abstract
Tendon and ligament injuries caused by trauma and degenerative diseases are frequent and affect diverse groups of the population. Such injuries reduce musculoskeletal performance, limit joint mobility, and lower people's comfort. Currently, various treatment strategies and surgical procedures are used to heal, repair, and restore the native tissue function. However, these strategies are inadequate and, in some cases, fail to re-establish the lost functionality. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approaches aim to overcome these disadvantages by stimulating the regeneration and formation of neotissues. Design and fabrication of artificial scaffolds with tailored mechanical properties are crucial for restoring the mechanical function of tendons. In this review, the tendon and ligament structure, their physiology, and performance are presented. On the other hand, the requirements are focused for the development of an effective reconstruction device. The most common fiber-based scaffolding systems are also described for tendon and ligament tissue regeneration like strand fibers, woven, knitted, braided, and braid-twisted fibrous structures, as well as electrospun and wet-spun constructs, discussing critically the advantages and limitations of their utilization. Finally, the potential of multilayered systems as the most effective candidates for tendon and ligaments tissue engineering is pointed out.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone tissue requires novel load bearing, biocompatible materials that support adhesion, spreading, proliferation, differentiation, mineralization, ECM production and maturation of bone-forming cells. Polycaprolactone (PCL) has many advantages as a biomaterial for scaffold production including tuneable biodegradation, relatively high mechanical toughness at physiological temperature. Electrospinning produces nanofibrous porous matrices that mimic many properties of natural tissue extracellular matrix with regard to surface area, porosity and fibre alignment. The biocompatibility and hydrophilicity of PCL nanofibres can be improved by combining PCL with other biomaterials to form composite scaffolds for bone regeneration. This work reviews the most recent research on synthesis, characterization and cellular response to nanofibrous PCL scaffolds and the composites of PCL with other natural and synthetic materials for bone tissue engineering.
