Abstract
Tissue regeneration is a hot topic in the field of biomedical research in this century. Material composition, surface topology, light, ultrasonic, electric field and magnetic fields (MFs) all have important effects on the regeneration process. Among them, MFs can provide nearly non-invasive signal transmission within biological tissues, and magnetic materials can convert MFs into a series of signals related to biological processes, such as mechanical force, magnetic heat, drug release, etc. By adjusting the MFs and magnetic materials, desired cellular or molecular-level responses can be achieved to promote better tissue regeneration. This review summarizes the definition, classification and latest progress of MFs and magnetic materials in tissue engineering. It also explores the differences and potential applications of MFs in different tissue cells, aiming to connect the applications of magnetism in various subfields of tissue engineering and provide new insights for the use of magnetism in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder marked by compromised bone integrity, predisposing individuals, particularly older adults and postmenopausal women, to fractures. The advent of bioceramics for bone regeneration has opened up auspicious pathways for addressing osteoporosis. Research indicates that bioceramics can help bones grow back by activating bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and wingless/integrated (Wnt)/β-catenin pathways in the body when combined with stem cells, drugs, and other supports. Still, bioceramics have some problems, such as not being flexible enough and prone to breaking, as well as difficulties in growing stem cells and discovering suitable supports for different bone types. While there have been improvements in making bioceramics better for healing bones, it is important to keep looking for new ideas from different areas of medicine to make them even better. By conducting a thorough scrutiny of the pivotal role bioceramics play in facilitating bone regeneration, this review aspires to propel forward the rapidly burgeoning domain of scientific exploration. In the end, this appreciation will contribute to the development of novel bioceramics that enhance bone regrowth and offer patients with bone disorders alternative treatments.

Abstract
Stem cell adhesion is mediated via the binding of integrin receptors to adhesion motifs present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The spatial organization of adhesion ligands plays an important role in stem cell integrin-mediated adhesion. In this study, we developed a series of biointerfaces using arginine-glycine-aspartate (RGD)-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-RGD) to study the effect of RGD adhesion ligand global density (ligand coverage over the surface), spacing, and RGD clustering levels on stem cell adhesion and differentiation. To prepare the biointerface, MSNs were chemically functionalized with RGD peptides via an antifouling poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) linker. The RGD surface functionalization ratio could be controlled to create MSNs with high and low RGD ligand clustering levels. MSN films with varying RGD global densities could be created by blending different ratios of MSN-RGD and non-RGD-functionalized MSNs together. A computational simulation study was performed to analyze nanoparticle distribution and RGD spacing on the resulting surfaces to determine experimental conditions. Enhanced cell adhesion and spreading were observed when RGD global density increased from 1.06 to 5.32 nmol cm-2 using highly clustered RGD-MSN-based films. Higher RGD ligand clustering levels led to larger cell spreading and increased formation of focal adhesions. Moreover, a higher RGD ligand clustering level promoted the expression of alkaline phosphatase in hMSCs. Overall, these findings indicate that both RGD global density and clustering levels are crucial variables in regulating stem cell behaviors. This study provides important information about ligand-integrin interactions, which could be implemented into biomaterial design to achieve optimal performance of adhesive functional peptides.

Abstract
Bone fractures are often companied with poor bone healing and high rates of infection. Early recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is critical for initiating efficient bone repair, and mild thermal stimulation can accelerate the recovery of chronic diseases. Here, a bioinspired, staged photothermal effect-reinforced multifunctional scaffold was fabricated for bone repair. Uniaxially aligned electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibers were doped with black phosphorus nanosheets (BP NSs) to endow the scaffold with excellent near-infrared (NIR) responsive capability. Apt19S was then decorated on the surface of the scaffold to selectively recruit MSCs toward the injured site. Afterward, microparticles of phase change materials loaded with antibacterial drugs were also deposited on the surface of the scaffold, which could undergo a solid-to-liquid phase transition above 39 °C, triggering the release of payload to eliminate bacteria and prevent infection. Under NIR irradiation, photothermal-mediated up-regulation of heat shock proteins and accelerated biodegradation of BP NSs could promote the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs and biomineralization. Overall, this strategy shows the ability of bacteria elimination, MSCs recruitment, and bone regeneration promotion with the assistance of photothermal effect in vitro and in vivo, which emphasizes the design of a bioinspired scaffold and its potential for a mild photothermal effect in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic system that constantly offers physical, biological, and chemical signals to embraced cells. Increasing evidence suggests that mechanical signals derived from the dynamic cellular microenvironment are essential controllers of cell behaviors. Conventional cell culture biomaterials, with static mechanical properties such as chemistry, topography, and stiffness, have offered a fundamental understanding of various vital biochemical and biophysical processes, such as cell adhesion, spreading, migration, growth, and differentiation. At present, novel biomaterials that can spatiotemporally impart biophysical cues to manipulate cell fate are emerging. The dynamic properties and adaptive traits of new materials endow them with the ability to adapt to cell requirements and enhance cell functions. In this review, an introductory overview of the key players essential to mechanobiology is provided. A biophysical perspective on the state-of-the-art manipulation techniques and novel materials in designing static and dynamic ECM-mimicking biomaterials is taken. In particular, different static and dynamic mechanical cues in regulating cellular mechanosensing and functions are compared. This review to benefit the development of engineering biomechanical systems regulating cell functions is expected.

Abstract
Stem cells (SC) are a kind of cells with self renewing ability and multipotent differentiation, which can differentiate into many types of cells such as osteoblast, chondrocyte, neurocyte to treat disease like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and Alzheimer's disease. Despite the development of novel methods for inducing cell differentiation, the inefficiency and complexity of controlling differentiation of stem cells remain a serious challenge, which necessary to develop a new and alternative approach for effectively controlling the direction of stem cell differentiation in vitro and in vivo in stem cells therapy. Recent advancement in nanotechnology for developing a new class of inorganic nanoparticles that exhibit unique chemical and physical properties holds promise for the treatment of stem cells. Over the last decade, inorganic nanoparticle-based approaches against stem cells have been directed toward developing nanoparticles with drug delivery, or utilizing nanoparticles for controlled cell behaviors, and applying nanoparticles for inducing cell differentiation directly. In addition, a strategy to functionalize inorganic nanoparticles as a nanoprobe towards enhanced penetration through near-infrared light or nuclear magnetic resonance has been receiving considerable interest by means of long-term tracking stem cell in vivo. This review summarizes and highlights the recent development of these inorganic nanoparticle-based approaches as potential therapeutics for controlling differentiation of stem cells and so on for stem cell therapy, along with current opportunities and challenges that need to be overcome for their successful clinical translation.

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.

Abstract
During mesenchymal development, the sources of mechanical forces transduced by cells transition over time from predominantly cell-cell interactions to predominantly cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) interactions. Transduction of the associated mechanical signals is critical for development, but how these signals converge to regulate human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) mechanosensing is not fully understood, in part because time-evolving mechanical signals cannot readily be presented in vitro. Here, we established a DNA-driven cell culture platform that could be programmed to present the RGD peptide from fibronectin, mimicking cell-ECM interactions, and the HAVDI peptide from N-cadherin, mimicking cell-cell interactions, through DNA hybridization and toehold-mediated strand displacement reactions. The platform could be programmed to mimic the evolving cell-ECM and cell-cell interactions during mesenchymal development. We applied this platform to reveal that RGD/integrin ligation promoted cofilin phosphorylation, while HAVDI/N-cadherin ligation inhibited cofilin phosphorylation. Cofilin phosphorylation upregulated perinuclear apical actin fibers, which deformed the nucleus and thereby induced YAP nuclear localization in hMSCs, resulting in subsequent osteogenic differentiation. Our programmable culture platform is broadly applicable to the study of dynamic, integrated mechanobiological signals in development, healing, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Cells can 'sense' physical cues in the surrounding microenvironment and 'react' by changing their function. Previous studies have focused on regulating the physical properties of the matrix, such as stiffness and topography, thus changing the tension 'felt' by the cell as a result. In this study, by directly applying a quantified magnetic force to the cell, a correlation between differentiation and tension was shown. The magnetic force, quantified by magnetic tweezers, was applied by incorporating magnetotactic bacteria-isolated magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) in human mesenchymal stem cells. As the applied tension increased, the expression levels of osteogenic differentiation marker genes and proteins were proportionally upregulated. Additionally, the translocation of YAP and RUNX2, deformation of nucleus, and activation of the MAPK signaling pathway were observed in tension-based osteogenic differentiation. Our findings provide a platform for the quantitative control of tension, a key factor in stem cell differentiation, between cells and the matrix using MNPs. Furthermore, these findings improve the understanding of osteogenic differentiation by mechanotransduction.

Abstract
Bone tissues are dynamically reconstructed during the entire life cycle phase, which is an exquisitely regulated process controlled by intracellular and intercellular signals transmitted through physicochemical and biochemical stimulation. Recently, the role of electrical activity in promoting bone regeneration has attracted great attention, making the design, fabrication, and selection of bioelectric bio-reactive materials a focus. Under specific conditions, piezoelectric, photoelectric, magnetoelectric, acoustoelectric, and thermoelectric materials can generate bioelectric signals similar to those of natural tissues and stimulate osteogenesis-related signaling pathways to enhance the regeneration of bone defects, which can be used for designing novel smart biological materials for engineering tissue regeneration. However, literature summarizing studies relevant to bioelectric materials for bone regeneration is rare to our knowledge. Consequently, this review is mainly focused on the biological mechanism of electrical stimulation in the regeneration of bone defects, the current state and future prospects of piezoelectric materials, and other bioelectric active materials suitable for bone tissue engineering in recent studies, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for novel clinical treatment strategies for bone defects.

Abstract
A significant bottleneck in the clinical translation of stem cells remains eliciting the desired stem cell behavior once transplanted in the body. In their natural environment, stem cell fate is regulated by their interaction with extracellular matrix (ECM), mainly through integrin-mediated cell adhesion. 2D biointerfaces that selectively present ECM-derived ligands can be used as valuable tools to study and improve our understanding on how stem cells interact with their environment. Here we developed a new type of biointerface based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) which are interesting nanomaterials for biointerface engineering because they allow close control over surface physiochemical properties. To create the platform, DNA functionalized MSN (MSN-ssDNA) with varying PEG linker length were developed. Cell adhesion tripeptide RGD was conjugated to a complementary DNA strand, which could specifically bind to MSN-ssDNA to create MSN-dsDNA-RGD films. We showed that MSN-dsDNA-RGD films could promote hMSCs adhesion and spreading, whereas MSN-dsDNA films without RGD resulted in poor cell spreading with round morphology, and low cell adhesion. In addition, we showed that cell adhesion to the films is PEG length-dependent. The design of the platform allows easy incorporation of other and multiple ECM ligands, as well as soluble cues, making MSN-ssDNA based biointerfaces a novel tool to study ligand-stem cell interactions.

Abstract
Biomedical imaging using cell labeling is an important technique to visualize cell dynamics in the body. To label cells, thiol-organosilica nanoparticles (thiol-OS) containing fluorescein (thiol-OS/Flu) and rhodamine B (thiol-OS/Rho) were surface-functionalized with polyethyleneimine (PEI) (OS/Flu-PEI and OS/Rho-PEI) with 4 molecular weights (MWs). We hypothesized PEI structures such as brush, bent brush, bent lie-down, and coiled types on the surface depending on MWs based on dynamic light scattering and thermal gravimetric analyses. The labeling efficacy of OS/Flu-PEIs was dependent on the PEI MW and the cell type. A dual-particle administration study using thiol-OS and OS-PEIs revealed differential endosomal sorting of the particles depending on the surface of the NPs. The endosomes in the labeled cells using OS/Flu-PEI and thiol-OS/Rho revealed various patterns of fluorescence termed barcoded endosomes. The cells labeled with OS-PEI in vitro were administrated to mice intraperitoneally after in situ labeling of peritoneal cells using thiol-OS/Rho. The in vitro labeled cells were detected and identified in cell aggregates in vivo seamlessly. The labeled cells with barcoded endosomes were also identified in cell aggregates. Biomedical imaging of in vitro OS-PEI-labeled cells combined with in situ labeled cells showed high potential for observation of cell dynamics.

Abstract
In the biological microenvironment, cells are surrounded by an extracellular matrix (ECM), with which they dynamically interact during various biological processes. Specifically, the physical and chemical properties of the ECM work cooperatively to influence the behavior and fate of cells directly and indirectly, which invokes various physiological responses in the body. Hence, efficient strategies to modulate cellular responses for a specific purpose have become important for various scientific fields such as biology, pharmacy, and medicine. Among many approaches, the utilization of biomaterials has been studied the most because they can be meticulously engineered to mimic cellular modulatory behavior. For such careful engineering, studies on physical modulation (e.g., ECM topography, stiffness, and wettability) and chemical manipulation (e.g., composition and soluble and surface biosignals) have been actively conducted. At present, the scope of research is being shifted from static (considering only the initial environment and the effects of each element) to biomimetic dynamic (including the concepts of time and gradient) modulation in both physical and chemical manipulations. This review provides an overall perspective on how the static and dynamic biomaterials are actively engineered to modulate targeted cellular responses while highlighting the importance and advance from static modulation to biomimetic dynamic modulation for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The receptor-ligand interactions in cells are dynamically regulated by modulation of the ligand accessibility. In this study, we utilize size-tunable magnetic nanoparticle aggregates ordered at both nanometer and atomic scales. We flexibly anchor magnetic nanoparticle aggregates of tunable sizes over the cell-adhesive RGD ligand (Arg-Gly-Asp)-active material surface while maintaining the density of dispersed ligands accessible to macrophages at constant. Lowering the accessible ligand dispersity by increasing the aggregate size at constant accessible ligand density facilitates the binding of integrin receptors to the accessible ligands, which promotes the adhesion of macrophages. In high ligand dispersity, distant magnetic manipulation to lift the aggregates (which increases ligand accessibility) stimulates the binding of integrin receptors to the accessible ligands available under the aggregates to augment macrophage adhesion-mediated pro-healing polarization both in vitro and in vivo. In low ligand dispersity, distant control to drop the aggregates (which decreases ligand accessibility) repels integrin receptors away from the aggregates, thereby suppressing integrin receptor-ligand binding and macrophage adhesion, which promotes inflammatory polarization. Here, we present "accessible ligand dispersity" as a novel fundamental parameter that regulates receptor-ligand binding, which can be reversibly manipulated by increasing and decreasing the ligand accessibility. Limitless tuning of nanoparticle aggregate dimensions and morphology can offer further insight into the regulation of receptor-ligand binding in host cells.

ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2022; 9:e2104883. [PMID: 35187857 PMCID: PMC9036003 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202104883] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2021] [Revised: 01/06/2022] [Indexed: 05/16/2023]
Abstract
Biomedical patches are considered as a promising strategy to help tissue repair and regeneration, prevent tissue adhesion, and reduce neighboring friction. Here, novel arrowhead composite microneedle patches (MNPs) are presented with anisotropic surface adhesion and growth factor encapsulation using a heterogeneous template replication approach for endometrium repair and intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) prevention. The arrowhead structures bring about interlocking between the microneedle (MN) tips and tissues, allowing these MNPs to steadily adhere to the tissues. Besides, benefitting from the cytoadhesive needle-tip material and the antiadhesive base material, these MNPs possess anisotropic surface adhesion and can facilitate cell adhesion on one surface to repair damaged tissues while restrain tissue contact on the other to prevent adverse adhesion. In the meanwhile, the encapsulated growth factor can be delivered through the MNs to the deep tissue, further accelerating tissue repair. Additionally, as the bases are soft and their patterns are highly tunable, the MNPs can change their shapes flexibly to adjust to the irregular morphology of uteri. It is demonstrated that these MNPs show good performances in treating injured endometrium and preventing IUAs of a rat model, indicating their great potential in versatile postoperative adhesion prevention and other clinical applications.

Abstract
Methods that leverage bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and stimulating factor kartogenin (KGN) for chondrocyte differentiation have paved the way for cartilage repair. However, the scarce carriers for efficiently bridging the two components significantly impede their further application. Therefore, one kind of bifunctional ferritin has designed and synthesized: RC-Fn, a genetically engineered ferritin nanocage with RGD peptide and WYRGRL peptide on the surface. The RGD can target the integrin αvβ3 of BMSCs and promote proliferation, and the WYRGRL peptide has an inherent affinity for the cartilage matrix component of collagen II protein. RC-Fn nanocages have an ideal size for penetrating the proteoglycan network of cartilage. Thus, intra-articularly injected RC-Fn with KGN loading can convert the articular cavity from a barrier into a reservoir to prevent rapid release and clearance of KGN and exogenous BMSCs, which results in efficient and persistent chondrogenesis in cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have various applications in biomedicine, including imaging, drug delivery and release, genetic modification, cell guidance, and patterning. By combining MNPs with polymers, magnetic nanocomposites (MNCs) with diverse morphologies (core-shell particles, matrix-dispersed particles, microspheres, etc.) can be generated. These MNCs retain the ability of MNPs to be controlled remotely using external magnetic fields. While the effects of these biomaterials on the cell biology are still poorly understood, such information can help the biophysical modulation of various cellular functions, including proliferation, adhesion, and differentiation. After recalling the basic properties of MNPs and polymers, and describing their coassembly into nanocomposites, this review focuses on how polymeric MNCs can be used in several ways to affect cell behavior. A special emphasis is given to 3D cell culture models and transplantable grafts, which are used for regenerative medicine, underlining the impact of MNCs in regulating stem cell differentiation and engineering living tissues. Recent advances in the use of MNCs for tissue regeneration are critically discussed, particularly with regard to their prospective involvement in human therapy and in the construction of advanced functional materials such as magnetically operated biomedical robots.

Abstract
Biophysical cues can regulate stem cell behaviours and have been considered as critical parameters of synthetic biomaterials for tissue engineering. In particular, hydrogels have been utilized as promising biomimetic and biocompatible materials to emulate the microenvironment. Therefore, well-defined mechanical properties of a hydrogel are important to direct desirable phenotypes of cells. Yet, limited research pays attention to engineering soft hydrogel with improved cell adhesive property, which is crucial for stem cell differentiation. Herein, we introduce silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) onto the surface of methacrylated hyaluronic (MeHA) hydrogel to manipulate the presentation of cell adhesive ligands (RGD) clusters, while remaining similar bulk mechanical properties (2.79 ± 0.31 kPa) to that of MeHA hydrogel (3.08 ± 0.68 kPa). RGD peptides are either randomly decorated in the MeHA hydrogel network or on the immobilized SiO2 NPs (forming MeHA–SiO2). Our results showed that human mesenchymal stem cells exhibited a ~1.3-fold increase in the percentage of initial cell attachment, a ~2-fold increase in cell spreading area, and enhanced expressions of early-stage osteogenic markers (RUNX2 and alkaline phosphatase) for cells undergoing osteogenic differentiation with the osteogenic medium on MeHA–SiO2 hydrogel, compared to those cultured on MeHA hydrogel. Importantly, the cells cultivated on MeHA–SiO2 expressed a ~5-fold increase in nuclear localization ratio of the yes-associated protein, which is known to be mechanosensory in stem cells, compared to the cells cultured on MeHA hydrogel, thereby promoting osteogenic differentiation of stem cells. These findings demonstrate the potential use of nanomaterials into a soft polymeric matrix for enhanced cell adhesion and provide valuable guidance for the rational design of biomaterials for implantation.

Abstract
E ven a well-designed system can only control stem cell adhesion, release, and differentiation, while other cell manipulations such as in situ labeling and retention in target tissues, are difficult to achieve in the same system. Herein, native ligand cluster-mimicking islands, composed of topologically engineered ligand, anchoring point AuNP, nuclease mimetics Ce IV complexes and magnetic core Fe 3 O 4 , are designed to facilitate comprehensive cell manipulations in a programmable manner. Three islands with different amounts of AuNPs are constructed, which means tunable interligand spacing within a cluster. These nanostructures are chemically coupled to a substrate using DNA tethers. Under tissue-penetrative magnetic field, this integrated system promotes stem cell adhesion, proliferation, mechanosensing, differentiation, detachment, in situ effective magnetic labeling and retention both in vitro and in vivo , offering fascinating opportunities for biomimetic matrix in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Functionalized nanomaterials of various categories are essential for developing cancer nano-theranostics for brain diseases; however, some limitations exist in their effectiveness and clinical translation, such as toxicity, limited tumor penetration, and inability to cross blood-brain and blood-tumor barriers. Metal nanomaterials with functional fluorescent tags possess unique properties in improving their functional properties, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR), superparamagnetism, and photo/bioluminescence, which facilitates imaging applications in addition to their deliveries. Moreover, these multifunctional nanomaterials could be synthesized through various chemical modifications on their physical surfaces via attaching targeting peptides, fluorophores, and quantum dots (QD), which could improve the application of these nanomaterials by facilitating theranostic modalities. In addition to their inherent CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), PAI (Photo-acoustic imaging), and X-ray contrast imaging, various multifunctional nanoparticles with imaging probes serve as brain-targeted imaging candidates in several imaging modalities. The primary criteria of these functional nanomaterials for translational application to the brain must be zero toxicity. Moreover, the beneficial aspects of nano-theranostics of nanoparticles are their multifunctional systems proportioned towards personalized disease management via comprising diagnostic and therapeutic abilities in a single biodegradable nanomaterial. This review highlights the emerging aspects of engineered nanomaterials to reach and deliver therapeutics to the brain and how to improve this by adopting the imaging modalities for theranostic applications.

Abstract
Regulating stem cell functions by precisely controlling the nanoscale presentation of bioactive ligands has a substantial impact on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine but remains a major challenge. Here it is shown that bioactive ligands can become mechanically "invisible" by increasing their tether lengths to the substrate beyond a critical length, providing a way to regulate mechanotransduction without changing the biochemical conditions. Building on this finding, light switchable tethers are rationally designed, whose lengths can be modulated reversibly by switching a light-responsive protein, pdDronpa, in between monomer and dimer states. This allows the regulation of the adhesion, spreading, and differentiation of stem cells by light on substrates of well-defined biochemical and physical properties. Spatiotemporal regulation of differential cell fates on the same substrate is further demonstrated, which may represent an important step toward constructing complex organoids or mini tissues by spatially defining the mechanical cues of the cellular microenvironment with light.

Abstract
One of the major issues in tissue engineering is regulation of stem cell differentiation toward specific lineages. Unlike biological and chemical signals, physical signals with adjustable properties can be applied to stem cells in a timely and localized manner, thus making them a hot topic for research in the fields of biomaterials, tissue engineering, and cell biology. According to the signals sensed by cells, physical signals used for regulating stem cell fate can be classified into six categories: mechanical, light, thermal, electrical, acoustic, and magnetic. In most cases, external macroscopic physical fields cannot be used to modulate stem cell fate, as only the localized physical signals accepted by the surface receptors can regulate stem cell differentiation via nanoscale fibrin polysaccharide fibers. However, surface receptors related to certain kinds of physical signals are still unknown. Recently, significant progress has been made in the development of functional materials for energy conversion. Consequently, localized physical fields can be produced by absorbing energy from an external physical field and subsequently releasing another type of localized energy through functional nanostructures. Based on the above concepts, we propose a methodology that can be utilized for stem cell engineering and for the regulation of stem cell fate via nanostructure-mediated physical signals. In this review, the combined effect of various approaches and mechanisms of physical signals provides a perspective on stem cell fate promotion by nanostructure-mediated physical signals. We expect that this review will aid the development of remote-controlled and wireless platforms to physically guide stem cell differentiation both in vitro and in vivo, using optimized stimulation parameters and mechanistic investigations while driving the progress of research in the fields of materials science, cell biology, and clinical research.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles have emerged as an attractive theranostic tool applied to different pathologies such as cancer. However, the increment in inorganic nanoparticle application in biomedicine has prompted the scientific community to assess their potential toxicities, often preventing them from entering clinical settings. Cytoskeleton network and the related adhesomes nest are present in most cellular processes such as proliferation, migration, and cell death. The nanoparticle treatment can interfere with the cytoskeleton and adhesome dynamics, thus inflicting cellular damage. Therefore, it is crucial dissecting the molecular mechanisms involved in nanoparticle cytotoxicity. This review will briefly address the main characteristics of different adhesion structures and focus on the most relevant effects of inorganic nanoparticles with biomedical potential on cellular adhesome dynamics. Besides, the review put into perspective the use of inorganic nanoparticles for cytoskeleton targeting or study as a versatile tool. The dissection of the molecular mechanisms involved in the nanoparticle-driven interference of adhesome dynamics will facilitate the future development of nanotheranostics targeting cytoskeleton and adhesomes to tackle several diseases, such as cancer.

Stem cells have great potential in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their inherent regenerative capabilities. However, an ongoing challenge within their clinical translation is to elicit or predict the desired stem cell behavior once transplanted. Stem cell behavior and function are regulated by their interaction with biophysical and biochemical signals present in their natural environment (i.e., stem cell niches). To increase our understanding about the interplay between stem cells and their resident microenvironments, biointerfaces have been developed as tools to study how these substrates can affect stem cell behaviors. This article aims to review recent developments on fabricating cell-instructive interfaces to control cell adhesion processes towards directing stem cell behavior. After an introduction on stem cells and their natural environment, static surfaces exhibiting predefined biochemical signals to probe the effect of chemical features on stem cell behaviors are discussed. In the third section, we discuss more complex dynamic platforms able to display biochemical cues with spatiotemporal control using on-off ligand display, reversible ligand display, and ligand mobility. In the last part of the review, we provide the reader with an outlook on future designs of biointerfaces. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Stem cells have great potential as treatments for many degenerative disorders prevalent in our aging societies. However, an ongoing challenge within their clinical translation is to promote stem cell mediated regeneration once they are transplanted in the body. Stem cells reside within our bodies where their behavior and function are regulated by interactions with their natural environment called the stem cell niche. To increase our understanding about the interplay between stem cells and their niche, 2D materials have been developed as tools to study how specific signals can affect stem cell behaviors. This article aims to review recent developments on fabricating cell-instructive interfaces to control cell adhesion processes towards directing stem cell behavior.

Abstract
Communication assemblies between biomimetic nanocapsules in a 3D closed system with self-regulating and self-organization functionalities were demonstrated for the first time. Two types of biomimetic nanocapsules, TiO2/polydopamine capsules and SiO2/polyelectrolytes capsules with different stimuli-responsive properties were prepared and leveraged to sense the external stimulus, transmit chemical signaling, and autonomic communication-controlled release of active cargos. The capsules have clear core-shell structures with average diameters of 30 nm and 25 nm, respectively. The nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms and thermogravimetric analysis displayed their massive pore structures and encapsulation capacity of 32% of glycine pH buffer and 68% of benzotriazole, respectively. Different from the direct release mode of the single capsule, the communication assemblies show an autonomic three-stage release process with a "jet lag" feature, showing the internal modulation ability of self-controlled release efficiency. The control overweight ratios of capsules influences on communication-release interaction between capsules. The highest communication-release efficiency (89.6% of benzotriazole) was achieved when the weight ratio of TiO2/polydopamine/SiO2/polyelectrolytes capsules was 5 : 1 or 10 : 1. Communication assemblies containing various types of nanocapsules can autonomically perform complex tasks in a biomimetic fashion, such as cascaded amplification and multidirectional communication platforms in bioreactors.

Abstract
Screening appendants on membrane proteins to understand their varied regulation effects is desirable for finding the potential candidates of the membrane-protein-targeted drugs. However, most artificial appendants can hardly support in situ condition screening because they cannot evolve in situ, neither can they send out signals to reflect the modulation. Here, we designed living-DNA appendants to enable such screening. First, the living-cell rolling-circle amplification (LCRCA) strategy was developed to elongate the DNA appendants for self-tangled physical nanogels. The nanogels unify both the functions of membrane-protein modulation and quantification: their sizes increase with the increased time length of LCRCA, which change the regulation effect on the membrane proteins; their large number of repeating short sequences allow quantification of their sizes in the presence of the complementary fluorophore-tagged short DNA. Then, the performance of the living-DNA appendants was examined taking α6β4 integrins as the target, where effective regulation over the distribution of actin filaments, cell viability, and chances of anoikis are all validated. The screening also clearly elucidates the interesting nonlinear relationships between the regulations and the effects. We hope this screening strategy based on living-DNA appendants can stand for a prototype for deeper understanding of natural behaviors of membrane proteins and help in the accurate designing of the membrane-protein-targeted drugs.

Abstract
Microactuators, which can transform external stimuli into mechanical motion at microscale, have attracted extensive attention because they can be used to construct microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and/or microrobots, resulting in extensive applications in a large number of fields such as noninvasive surgery, targeted delivery, and biomedical machines. In contrast to classical 2D MEMS devices, 3D microactuators provide a new platform for the research of stimuli-responsive functional devices. However, traditional planar processing techniques based on photolithography are inadequate in the construction of 3D microstructures. To solve this issue, researchers have proposed many strategies, among which 3D laser printing is becoming a prospective technique to create smart devices at the microscale because of its versatility, adjustability, and flexibility. Here, we review the recent progress in stimulus-responsive 3D microactuators fabricated with 3D laser printing depending on different stimuli. Then, an outlook of the design, fabrication, control, and applications of 3D laser-printed microactuators is propounded with the goal of providing a reference for related research.

Abstract
Developing strategies for efficient expansion of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) in vitro will help investigate the mechanism underlying tumorigenesis and cancer recurrence. Herein, we report a dynamic culture substrate tethered with integrin ligand-bearing magnetic nanoparticles via a flexible polymeric linker to enable magnetic manipulation of the nanoscale ligand tether mobility. The cancer cells cultured on the substrate with high ligand tether mobility develop into large semispherical colonies with CSCs features, which can be abrogated by magnetically restricting the ligand tether mobility. Mechanistically, the substrate with high ligand tether mobility suppresses integrin-mediated mechanotransduction and histone-related methylation, thereby enhancing cancer cell stemness. The culture-derived high-stemness cells can generate tumors both locally and at the distant lung and uterus much more efficiently than the low-stemness cells. We believe that this magnetic nanoplatform provides a promising strategy for investigating the dynamic interaction between CSCs and the microenvironment and establishing a cost-effective tumor spheroid model.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have drawn great attention in clinical applications due to the self-renewal ability, multi-differentiation potential, and low immunogenicity. However, there are challenges in the ex vivo expansion of MSCs, including low efficiency, stemness loss, and safety. Therefore, it is crucial to construct a substrate that can show an alterable affinity to MSCs, and induce efficient cell expansion with minimal stemness loss. In this study, EPLQLKM (E7)-modified substrates with tunable E7 densities are fabricated on PEGylated substrates. The PEG layer with an average thickness of 1.7 nm shows good antifouling ability. E7-modified substrates have an improving effect on adhesion and spreading of the rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), along with the increase of E7 densities. rBMSCs on E7-modified substrates maintain the stem cell phenotypes, and shows robust proliferation and multilineage differentiation, especially on the substrates with high E7 densities. In summary, this study provides a novel strategy of E7 functionalization to promote adhesion and maintain stemness of MSCs, which holds great potentials in the functionalization of microcarriers for the expansion of MSCs.

Abstract
Hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties have provided a tremendous opportunity to regulate stem cell differentiation. Hydrogels with osteoid (about 30-40 kPa) or higher stiffness are usually required to induce the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). It is yet difficult to achieve the same differentiation on very soft hydrogels, because of low environmental mechanical stimuli and restricted cellular mechanotransduction. Here, we modulate cellular spatial sensing of integrin-adhesive ligands via quasi-hexagonally arranged nanopatterns to promote cell mechanosensing on hydrogels having low stiffness (about 3 kPa). The increased interligand spacing has been shown to regulate actomyosin force loading to recruit extra integrins on soft hydrogels. It therefore activates mechanotransduction and promotes the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs on soft hydrogels to the level comparable with the one observed on osteoid stiffness. Our work opens up new possibilities for the design of biomaterials and tissue scaffolds for regenerative therapeutics.

Abstract
Macrophages can associate with extracellular matrix (ECM) demonstrating nanosequenced cell-adhesive RGD ligand. In this study, we devised barcoded materials composed of RGD-coated gold and RGD-absent iron nanopatches to show various frequencies and position of RGD-coated nanopatches with similar areas of iron and RGD-gold nanopatches that maintain macroscale and nanoscale RGD density invariant. Iron patches were used for substrate coupling. Both large (low frequency) and externally positioned RGD-coated nanopatches stimulated robust attachment in macrophages, compared with small (high frequency) and internally positioned RGD-coated nanopatches, respectively, which mediate their regenerative/anti-inflammatory M2 polarization. The nanobarcodes exhibited stability in vivo. We shed light into designing ligand-engineered nanostructures in an external position to facilitate host cell attachment, thereby eliciting regenerative host responses.

Abstract
The living cell can be regarded as an ideal functional material system in which many functional systems are working together with high efficiency and specificity mostly under mild ambient conditions. Fabrication of living cell-like functional materials is regarded as one of the final goals of the nanoarchitectonics approach. In this short review article, material-based approaches for regulation of living cell behaviors by external stimuli are discussed. Nanoarchitectonics strategies on cell regulation by various external inputs are first exemplified. Recent approaches on cell regulation with interfacial nanoarchitectonics are also discussed in two extreme cases using a very hard interface with nanoarchitected carbon arrays and a fluidic interface of the liquid-liquid interface. Importance of interfacial nanoarchitectonics in controlling living cells by mechanical and supramolecular stimuli from the interfaces is demonstrated.

Abstract
For the fact that articular cartilage is a highly organized and avascular tissue, cartilage defects are limited to spontaneously heal, which would subsequently progress to osteoarthritis. Many methods have been developed to enhance the ability for cartilage regeneration, among which magnetically actuated manipulation has attracted interests due to its biocompatibility and non-invasive manipulation. Magnetically actuated manipulation that can be achieved by introducing magnetic nanoparticles and magnetic field. This review summarizes the cutting-edge research on the chondrogenic enhancements via magnetically actuated manipulation, including cell labeling, cell targeting, cell assembly, magnetic seeding and tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
A physical, noninvasive, and reversible means of controlling the nanoscale presentation of bioactive ligands is highly desirable for regulating and investigating the time-dependent responses of cells, including stem cells. Herein we report a magnetically actuated dynamic cell culture platform consisting of a soft hydrogel substrate conjugated with RGD-bearing magnetic nanoparticle (RGD-MNP). The downward/upward magnetic attraction conceals/promotes the presentation of the RGD-MNP in/on the soft hydrogel matrix, thereby inhibiting/enhancing the cell adhesion and mechanosensing-dependent differentiation. Meanwhile, the lateral magnetic attraction promotes the unidirectional migration of cells in the opposite direction on the hydrogel. Furthermore, cyclic switching between the "Exposed" and "Hidden" conditions induces the repeated cycles of differentiation/dedifferentiation of hMSCs which significantly enhances the differentiation potential of hMSCs. Our design approach capitalizes on the bulk biomaterial matrix as the macroscopic caging structure to enable dynamic regulation of cell-matrix interactions reversibly, which is hard to achieve by using conventional cell culture systems.

Abstract
Nerve tissues are one of the most difficult tissues to repair due to the limited source of neural stem cells and the difficulty in promoting the neural differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by growth factors. Electromagnetic field has been proved to have the ability to regulate stem cell differentiation. Although some research studies promoted the neural differentiation of stem cells using an external power source, it is still a big challenge to realize nerve repair in bodies because of the unwieldiness and complexity of the power supply equipment. Surface plasmons (SP) are electromagnetic oscillations caused by the interaction of free electrons and photons on a metal surface, and almost no one has used these localized electromagnetic oscillations to regulate stem cell differentiation. In this study, based on the concept proposed by our group that "the stem cell fate can be regulated by nanostructure mediated physical signals", the localized electromagnetic oscillation generated by the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of copper sulfide (CuS) nanostructures irradiated with near-infrared light has been proved to have positive regulation on stem cell maturation and neuron-like cell differentiation of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs). This regulation method avoids the use of wire connection of an external power source, which realizes the stem cell fate regulation by an external field. In addition, this work demonstrated that it is promising to realize the light promoted nerve repair in bodies by using an implantable plasmonic nanomaterial with absorption in the near-infrared region within a human "optical window", which has important academic value and application prospect. As we know, this is the first time to use semiconductor nanostructures as a medium to regulate stem cell neuron-like cell differentiation by near-infrared light and the LSPR of a plasmonic nanomaterial, which will have great influence on biomedical engineering and attract broad attention from nanomaterials scientists, neurobiologists, and neurosurgeons.

Abstract
In cells, mechanical forces play a key role in impacting cell behaviors, including adhesion, differentiation, migration, and death. Herein, a 20 nm mitochondria-targeted zinc-doped iron oxide nanocube is designed as a nanospinner to exert mechanical forces under a rotating magnetic field (RMF) at 15 Hz and 40 mT to fight against cancer. The nanospinners can efficiently target the mitochondria of cancer cells. By means of the RMF, the nanocubes assemble in alignment with the external field and produce a localized mechanical force to impair the cancer cells. Both in vitro and in vivo studies show that the nanospinners can damage the cancer cells and reduce the brain tumor growth rate after the application of the RMF. This nanoplatform provides an effective magnetomechanical approach to treat deep-seated tumors in a spatiotemporal fashion.

Abstract
Using noninvasive stimulation of cells to control cell fate and improve bone regeneration by optical stimulation can achieve the aim of precisely orchestrating biological activities. In this study, we create a fast and repeatable photoelectric-responsive microenvironment around an implant using a bismuth sulfide/hydroxyapatite (BS/HAp) film. The unexpected increase of photocurrent on the BS/HAp film under near-infrared (NIR) light is mainly due to the depletion of holes through PO43- from HAp and interfacial charge transfer by HAp compared with BS. The electrons activate the Na+ channel of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and change the cell adhesion in the intermediate environment. The behavior of MSCs is tuned by changing the photoelectronic microenvironment. RNA sequencing reveals that when photoelectrons transfer to the cell membrane, sodium ions flux and the membrane potential depolarizes to change the cell shape. Meanwhile, calcium ions fluxed and FDE1 was upregulated. Furthermore, the TCF/LEF in the cell nucleus began transcription to regulate the downstream genes involved in osteogenic differentiation, which is performed through the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway. This research has created a biological therapeutic strategy, which can achieve in vitro remotely, precisely, and noninvasively controlling cell differentiation behaviors by tuning the in vivo photoelectric microenvironment using NIR light.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive biomaterials supply a promising solution to adapt to the complex physiological environment for different biomedical applications. In this study, a dynamic UV-triggered pH-responsive biosurface was constructed on titania nanotubes (TNTs) by loading photoacid generators, diphenyliodonium chloride, into the nanotubes, and grafting 2,3-dimethyl maleic anhydride (DMMA)-modified hyperbranched poly(l-lysine) (HBPLL) onto the surface. The local acidity was dramatically enhanced by UV irradiation for only 30 s, leading to the dissociation of DMMA and thereby the transformation of surface chemistry from negatively charged caboxyl groups to positively charged amino groups. The TNTs-HBPLL-DMMA substrate could better promote proliferation and spreading of rat bone mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs) after UV irradiation. The osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs was enhanced because of the charge reversal in combination with the titania-based substrates.

Abstract
Mechanical signal transduction is fundamental for maintaining and regulating cellular processes and functions. Here, we proposed a novel near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive optomechanical actuator for the directional regulation of collective cell adhesion and migration. This optomechanical actuator that is made up of a thermal-responsive copolymer hydrogel and gold nanorods (AuNRs), enables non-invasive activation by NIR light stimulation. The activation of the optomechanical actuator leads to hydrogel contraction and an increase in Young's modulus, which could be used for applying contraction force to cells cultured on the surface of the hydrogel actuator. By grafting cell adhesive peptide ligands, the cells could attach onto the surface of the actuator and displayed a NIR light illumination intensity dependent migration rate along a random orientation. To achieve the controllable modulation of cell behaviors, we employed a microcontact printing strategy for patterned presentation of adhesive ligands on this actuator and achieved directional cell alignment and cell migration through optomechanical actuation. These demonstrations suggest that this robust optomechanical actuator is promising for the optical modulation of cellular events and cell functions in various bioapplications.

Abstract
While neural cell transplantation represents a promising therapy for neurodegenerative diseases, the formation of functional networks of transplanted cells with host neurons constitutes one of the challenging steps. Here, we introduce a magnetic guidance methodology that controls neurite growth signaling via magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) conjugated with antibodies targeting the deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) receptor (DCC-MNPs). Activation of the DCC receptors by clusterization and subsequent axonal growth of the induced neuronal (iN) cells was performed in a spatially controlled manner. In addition to the directionality of the magnetically controlled axon projection, axonal growth of the iN cells assisted the formation of functional connections with pre-existing primary neurons. Our results suggest magnetic guidance as a strategy for improving neuronal connectivity by spatially guiding the axonal projections of transplanted neural cells for synaptic interactions with the host tissue.

Abstract
Supramolecular biomaterials based on hydrogen bonding units can be conveniently functionalized in a mix-and-match approach using supramolecular additives. The presentation of bioactive additives has been sparsely investigated in supramolecular-based elastomeric biomaterials. Here it was investigated how cell adhesive peptides are presented and affect the surface in supramolecular biomaterials based either on ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) or bisurea (BU) moieties. Polycaprolactone modified with UPy or BU moieties served as the base material. RGD or cyclic (c)RGD were conjugated to complementary supramolecular motifs, and were mixed with the corresponding base materials as supramolecular additives. Biomaterial surface morphology changed upon bioactivation, resulting in the formation of random aggregates on UPy-based materials, and fibrous aggregates on BU-materials. Moreover, peptide type affected aggregation morphology, in which RGD led to larger cluster formation than cRGD. Increased cRGD concentrations led to reduced focal adhesion size and cell migration velocity, and increased focal adhesion numbers in both systems, yet most prominent on functionalized BU-biomaterials. In conclusion, both systems exhibited distinct peptide presenting properties, of which the BU-system most strongly affected cellular adhesive behavior on the biomaterial. This research provided deeper insights in the differences between supramolecular elastomeric platforms, and the level of peptide introduction for biomaterial applications.

Highly Effective and Noninvasive Near-Infrared Eradication of a Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm on Implants by a Photoresponsive Coating within 20 Min. ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2019; 6:1900599. [PMID: 31508278 PMCID: PMC6724470 DOI: 10.1002/advs.201900599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 147] [Impact Index Per Article: 29.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2019] [Revised: 06/10/2019] [Indexed: 05/04/2023]
Abstract
Biofilms have been related to the persistence of infections on medical implants, and these cannot be eradicated because of the resistance of biofilm structures. Therefore, a biocompatible phototherapeutic system is developed composed of MoS2, IR780 photosensitizer, and arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-cysteine (RGDC) to safely eradicate biofilms on titanium implants within 20 min. The magnetron-sputtered MoS2 film possesses excellent photothermal properties, and IR780 can produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the irradiation of near-infrared (NIR, λ = 700-1100 nm) light. Consequently, the combination of photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), assisted by glutathione oxidation accelerated by NIR light, can provide synergistic and rapid killing of bacteria, i.e., 98.99 ± 0.42% eradication ratio against a Staphylococcus aureus biofilm in vivo within 20 min, which is much greater than that of PTT or PDT alone. With the assistance of ROS, the permeability of damaged bacterial membranes increases, and the damaged bacterial membranes become more sensitive to heat, thus accelerating the leakage of proteins from the bacteria. In addition, RGDC can provide excellent biosafety and osteoconductivity, which is confirmed by in vivo animal experiments.

Conformational manipulation of scale-up prepared single-chain polymeric nanogels for multiscale regulation of cells. Nat Commun 2019; 10:2705. [PMID: 31221969 PMCID: PMC6586678 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10640-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2019] [Accepted: 05/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Folded single chain polymeric nano-objects are the molecular level soft material with ultra-small size. Here, we report an easy and scalable method for preparing single-chain nanogels (SCNGs) with improved efficiency. We further investigate the impact of the dynamic molecular conformational change of SCNGs on cellular interactions from molecular to bulk scale. First, the supramolecular unfoldable SCNGs efficiently deliver siRNAs into stem cells as a molecular drug carrier in a conformation-dependent manner. Furthermore, the conformation changes of SCNGs enable dynamic and precise manipulation of ligand tether structure on 2D biomaterial interfaces to regulate the ligand-receptor ligation and mechanosensing of cells. Lastly, the dynamic SCNGs as the building blocks provide effective energy dissipation to bulk biomaterials such as hydrogels, thereby protecting the encapsulated stem cells from deleterious mechanical shocks in 3D matrix. Such a bottom-up molecular tailoring strategy will inspire further applications of single-chain nano-objects in the biomedical area.

Abstract
The field of mechanobiology studies how mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as stiffness, and other mechanical stimuli regulate cell behaviour. Recent advancements in the field and the development of novel biomaterials and nanofabrication techniques have enabled researchers to recapitulate the mechanical properties of the microenvironment with an increasing degree of complexity on more biologically relevant dimensions and time scales. In this Review, we discuss different strategies to engineer substrates that mimic the mechanical properties of the ECM and outline how these substrates have been applied to gain further insight into the biomechanical interaction between the cell and its microenvironment.
