Abstract
Nowadays, as a result of the frequent occurrence of accidental injuries and traumas such as bone damage, the number of people causing bone injuries or fractures is increasing around the world. The design and fabrication of ideal bone tissue engineering (BTE) materials have become a research hotspot in the scientific community, and thus provide a novel path for the treatment of bone diseases. Among the materials used to construct scaffolds in BTE, including metals, bioceramics, bioglasses, biomacromolecules, synthetic organic polymers, etc., natural biopolymers have more advantages against them because they can interact with cells well, causing natural polymers to be widely studied and applied in the field of BTE. In particular, alginate has the advantages of excellent biocompatibility, good biodegradability, non-immunogenicity, non-toxicity, wide sources, low price, and easy gelation, enabling itself to be widely used as a biomaterial. However, pure alginate hydrogel as a BTE scaffold material still has many shortcomings, such as insufficient mechanical properties, easy disintegration of materials in physiological environments, and lack of cell-specific recognition sites, which severely limits its clinical application in BTE. In order to overcome the defects of single alginate hydrogels, researchers prepared alginate composite hydrogels by adding one or more materials to the alginate matrix in a certain proportion to improve their bioapplicability. For this reason, this review will introduce in detail the methods for constructing alginate composite hydrogels, including alginate/polymer composite hydrogels, alginate/bioprotein or polypeptide composite hydrogels, alginate/bioceramic composite hydrogels, alginate/bioceramic composite hydrogels, and alginate/nanoclay composite hydrogels, as well as their biological application trends in BTE scaffold materials, and look forward to their future research direction. These alginate composite hydrogel scaffolds exhibit both unexceptionable mechanical and biochemical properties, which exhibit their high application value in bone tissue repair and regeneration, thus providing a theoretical basis for the development and sustainable application of alginate-based functional biomedical materials.

Thermo-Responsive Injectable Hydrogels Formed by Self-Assembly of Alginate-Based Heterograft Copolymers. Gels 2023; 9:gels9030236. [PMID: 36975684 PMCID: PMC10048633 DOI: 10.3390/gels9030236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2023] [Revised: 03/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Polysaccharide-based graft copolymers bearing thermo-responsive grafting chains, exhibiting LCST, have been designed to afford thermo-responsive injectable hydrogels. The good performance of the hydrogel requires control of the critical gelation temperature, Tgel. In the present article, we wish to show an alternative method to tune Tgel using an alginate-based thermo-responsive gelator bearing two kinds of grafting chains (heterograft copolymer topology) of P(NIPAM86-co-NtBAM14) random copolymers and pure PNIPAM, differing in their lower critical solution temperature (LCST) about 10 °C. Interestingly, the Tgel of the heterograft copolymer is controlled from the overall hydrophobic content, NtBAM, of both grafts, implying the formation of blended side chains in the crosslinked nanodomains of the formed network. Rheological investigation of the hydrogel showed excellent responsiveness to temperature and shear. Thus, a combination of shear-thinning and thermo-thickening effects provides the hydrogel with injectability and self-healing properties, making it a good candidate for biomedical applications.

Alginate- g-PNIPAM-Based Thermo/Shear-Responsive Injectable Hydrogels: Tailoring the Rheological Properties by Adjusting the LCST of the Grafting Chains. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:3824. [PMID: 33917134 PMCID: PMC8067843 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22083824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2021] [Revised: 04/04/2021] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Graft copolymers of alginate backbone and N-isopropylacrylamide/N-tert-butylacrylamide random copolymer, P(NIPAMx-co-NtBAMy), side chains (stickers) with various NtBAM content were designed and explored in aqueous media. Self-assembling thermoresponsive hydrogels are formed upon heating, in all cases, through the hydrophobic association of the P(NIPAMx-co-NtBAMy) sticky pendant chains. The rheological properties of the formulations depend remarkably on the NtBAM hydrophobic content, which regulates the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) and, in turn, the stickers' thermo-responsiveness. The gelation point, Tgel, was shifted to lower temperatures from 38 to 20 °C by enriching the PNIPAM chains with 20 mol % NtBAM, shifting accordingly to the gelation temperature window. The consequences of the Tgel shift to the hydrogels' rheological properties are significant at room and body temperature. For instance, at 37 °C, the storage modulus increases about two orders of magnitude and the terminal relaxation time increase about 10 orders of magnitude by enriching the stickers with 20 mol % hydrophobic moieties. Two main thermo-induced behaviors were revealed, characterized by a sol-gel and a weak gel-stiff gel transition for the copolymer with stickers of low (0.6 mol %) and high (14, 20 mol %) NtBAM content, respectively. The first type of hydrogels is easily injectable, while for the second one, the injectability is provided by shear-thinning effects. The influence of the type of media (phosphate buffer (PB), phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)) on the hydrogel properties was also explored and discussed. The 4 wt % NaALG-g-P(NIPAM80-co-NtBAM20)/DMEM formulation showed excellent shear-induced injectability at room temperature and instantaneous thermo-induced gel stiffening at body temperature, rendering it a good candidate for cell transplantation potential applications.

Abstract
Meat analogue research and development focuses on the production of sustainable products that recreate conventional meat in its physical sensations (texture, appearance, taste, etc.) and nutritional aspects. Minced products, like burger patties and nuggets, muscle-type products, like chicken or steak-like cuts, and emulsion products, like Frankfurter and Mortadella type sausages, are the major categories of meat analogues. In this review, we discuss key ingredients for the production of these novel products, with special focus on protein sources, and underline the importance of ingredient functionality. Our observation is that structuring processes are optimized based on ingredients that were not originally designed for meat analogues applications. Therefore, mixing and blending different plant materials to obtain superior functionality is for now the common practice. We observed though that an alternative approach towards the use of ingredients such as flours, is gaining more interest. The emphasis, in this case, is on functionality towards use in meat analogues, rather than classical functionality such as purity and solubility. Another trend is the exploration of novel protein sources such as seaweed, algae and proteins produced via fermentation (cellular agriculture).

Abstract
We report a tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanosheet-immobilized hydrogel system that can inhibit oxidative stress on living cells. First, we fabricated a highly stable suspension of WS2 nanosheets as a radical scavenger by enveloping them with the amphiphilic poly(ε-caprolactone)- b-poly(ethylene oxide) copolymer (PCL- b-PEO) during in situ liquid exfoliation in aqueous medium. After the PCL- b-PEO-enveloped WS2 nanosheets were embedded in three types of hydrogel systems, including carrageenan gum/locust bean gum bulk hydrogels, physically cross-linked alginate microparticles, and covalently cross-linked PEG hydrogel microparticles, they retained their characteristic optical properties. Intriguingly, the WS2 nanosheet-immobilized hydrogel particles exhibited sustainable radical scavenging performance without any deterioration in the original activity of the WS2 nanosheets, even after repeated use. This implies that the hydrogen atoms dissociated from the chalcogen of the WS2 nanosheets effectively scavenged free radicals through the hydrogel mesh. Because of this unique behavior, the coexistence of the WS2 nanosheets with living cells in the hydrogel matrix improved cell viability up to 40%, which demonstrates that the WS2 nanosheets can suppress oxidative stress on living cells.

Abstract
Sodium alginate grafted by a thermo-responsive copolymer of N-isopropylacrylamide, enriched with the hydrophobic N-tert-butylacrylamide monomer, (P(NIPAM-co-NtBAM)-NH2) was synthesized and its thermo- and shear-induced responsive capabilities were studied through rheology. The graft copolymer formed a 3D network through thermo-induced hydrophobic association of the thermo-responsive P(NIPAM-co-NtBAM) side chains in water. By applying the frequency-temperature superposition principle, the terminal relaxation time, τ and the shear viscosity, as a function of temperature were evaluated. Both parameters increased exponentially upon heating orders of magnitude, 15 °C above the onset of gelation (35 °C). It is shown that the thermo-induced thickening effect was mainly due to the slowdown of the P(NIPAM90-co-NtBAM10) associative side chains exchange dynamics. Moreover, combination of shear- and thermo-responsiveness provided excellent hydrogel injectability with instantaneous gelation at physiological temperature. The better insight of the thermo-thickening mechanism through oscillatory rheology allows precise tuning of the carbohydrate-based hydrogel properties towards potential bioapplications.

Abstract
Recently, alginates (ALG) characterized by high mannuronic content (M blocks) have been shown to undergo a reversible sol/gel transition during cooling in the presence of potassium salts. Cold gelling takes place at low temperatures, just below 0 °C for a KCl concentration of 0.3 mol/kg, but the aggregation process can be easily shifted to higher temperatures by increasing the salt concentration. In the present paper, we take advantage of this peculiar behavior to design a copolymer with schizophrenic gelling properties. For this purpose, side chains of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM), characterized by a Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) in water, were grafted on the alginate backbone. Working in semidilute solutions, we show by coupling DSC and viscoelastic measurements that ALG-g-PNIPAM solutions are able to form gels either by cooling or heating depending on the ionic environment. As the aggregation process of ALG and PNIPAM depends mainly and respectively on the nature of the cations and anions, the choice of the salt is then critical to control the self-assembly behavior and the gel properties. Moreover, as the gelation process of alginates driven by the aggregation of mannuronic sequences is characterized by a large hysteresis of 20-30 °C between gelling and melting, both ALG and ALG-g-PNIPAM polymers offer a large versatility not only in terms of salt (nature and concentration) but also in preparation history as different states (sol or gel) can be obtained at room temperature.

Abstract
The sol-to-gel transition of an alginate rich in β-d-mannuronic acid residues and at a concentration of 0.1% w/v in 15 mM NaCl in the presence of calcium ions of 0 to 3.5mM was studied with dynamic light scattering. The dynamics of the different systems added further insight into the alginate gel forming mechanisms. Below a Ca(2+) concentration of 0.7 mM, the build-up of small aggregates could be verified. Moreover, at a critical concentration, close to 0.9 mM Ca(2+), a percolated, non-ergodic network started to form from some of these aggregates, with smaller aggregates still diffusing in the network. The system displayed strong non-ergodicy at high Ca(2+) concentrations with a non-ergodicity parameter that appeared to form discontinuously from near zero to a clearly non-zero value at the critical Ca(2+) concentration.
