Abstract
Bioelectricity plays an overriding role in directing cell migration, proliferation, differentiation etc. Tailoring the electro-extracellular environment through metallurgical manipulation could modulate the surrounding cell behaviors. In this study, different electric potential patterns, in terms of Volta potential distribution and gradient, were created on the metallic surface as an electric microenvironment, and their effects on adherent human mesenchymal stem cells were investigated. Periodically and randomly distributed Volta potential pattern, respectively, were generated on the surface through spark plasma sintering of two alternatively stacked dissimilar metals films and of a mixture of metallic powders. Actin cytoskeleton staining demonstrated that the Volta potential pattern strongly affected cell attachment and deformation. The cytoskeletons of cells were observed to elongate along the Volta potential gradient and across the border of adjacent regions with higher and lower potentials. Moreover, the steepest potential gradient resulting from the drastic compositional changes on the periodic borders gave rise to the strongest osteogenic tendency among all the samples. This study suggests that tailoring the Volta potential distribution and gradient of metallic biomaterials via metallurgical manipulation is a promising approach to activate surrounding cells, providing an extra degree of freedom for designing desirable bone-repairing metallic implants.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are a subpopulation of mesenchymal stem cells. Compared to bone marrow-derived stem cells, they can be harvested with minimal invasiveness. ASCs can be easily expanded and were shown to be able to differentiate into several clinically relevant cell types. Therefore, this cell type represents a promising component in various tissue engineering and medical approaches (e.g., cell therapy). In vivo cells are surrounded by the extracellular matrix (ECM) that provides a wide range of tissue-specific physical and chemical cues, such as stiffness, topography, and chemical composition. Cells can sense the characteristics of their ECM and respond to them in a specific cellular behavior (e.g., proliferation or differentiation). Thus, in vitro biomaterial properties represent an important tool to control ASCs behavior. In this review, we give an overview of the current research in the mechanosensing of ASCs and current studies investigating the impact of material stiffens, topography, and chemical modification on ASC behavior. Additionally, we outline the use of natural ECM as a biomaterial and its interaction with ASCs regarding cellular behavior.

Abstract
Purpose We aimed to develop an antioxidant dressing material with pro-angiogenic potential that could promote wound healing. Gelatin (Gel) was selected to improve the biocompatibility of the scaffolds, while graphene oxide (GO) was added to enhance their mechanical property. The loaded N-Acetyl cysteine (NAC) was performing the effect of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the wound site. Materials and Methods The physicochemical and mechanical properties, NAC releases, and biocompatibility of the NAC-GO-Gel scaffolds were evaluated in vitro. The regeneration capability of the scaffolds was systemically investigated in vivo using the excisional wound-splinting model in mice. Results The NAC-GO-Gel scaffold had a stronger mechanical property and sustainer NAC release ability than the single Gel scaffold, which resulted in a better capacity for cell proliferation and migration. Mice wound-splinting models revealed that the NAC-GO-Gel scaffold effectively accelerated wound healing, promoted re-epithelialization, enhanced neovascularization, and reduced scar formation. Conclusion The NAC-GO-Gel scaffold not only promotes wound healing but also reduces scar formation, showing a great potential application for the repair of skin defects.

Abstract
Orthopedic implants provide an avascular surface for microbial attachment and biofilm formation, impeding the entry of immune cells and the diffusion of antibiotics. The above is an important cause of dental and orthopedic implant-associated infection (IAI). For the prevention and treatment of IAI, the drawbacks of antibiotic resistance and surgical treatment are increasingly apparent. Due to their outstanding biological properties such as biocompatibility, immunomodulatory effects, and antibacterial properties, graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs) have been applied to bone tissue engineering to deal with IAI, and in particular have great potential application in drug/gene carriers, multi-functional platforms, and coating forms. Here we review the latest research progress and achievements in GBNs for the prevention and treatment of IAI, mainly including their biomedical applications for antibacterial and immunomodulation effects, and for inducing osteogenesis. Furthermore, the biosafety of graphene family materials in bone tissue regeneration and the feasibility of clinical application are critically analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
Recently, it has been revealed that the physical microenvironment can be translated into cellular mechanosensing to direct human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) differentiation. Graphene oxide (GO), a major derivative of graphene, has been regarded as a promising material for stem cell lineage specification due to its biocompatibility and unique physical properties to interact with stem cells. Especially, the lateral size of GO flakes is regarded as the key factor regulating cellular response caused by GO. In this work, GO that had been mechanically created and had an average diameter of 0.9, 1.1, and 1.7 m was produced using a ball-mill process. When size-controlled GO flakes were applied to hMSCs, osteogenic differentiation was enhanced by GO with a specific average diameter of 1.7 μm. It was confirmed that osteogenic differentiation was increased due to the enhanced expression of focal adhesion and the development of focal adhesion subordinate signals via extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) pathway. These results suggest that size-controlled GO flakes could be efficient materials for promoting osteogenesis of hMSCs. Results of this study could also improve our understanding of the correlation between hMSCs and cellular responses to GO.

Abstract
Stem cells play a critical role in peripheral nerve regeneration. Nerve scaffolds fabricated by specific materials can help induce the neurogenic differentiation of stem cells. Therefore, it is a potential strategy to enhance therapeutic efficiency. Graphene family nanomaterials are widely applied in repairing peripheral nerves. However, the mechanism underlying the pro-regeneration effects remains elusive. In this review, we first discuss the properties of graphene family nanomaterials, including monolayer and multilayer graphene, few-layer graphene, graphene oxide, reduced graphene oxide, and graphene quantum dots. We also introduce their applications in regulating stem cell differentiation. Then, we review the potential mechanisms of the neurogenic differentiation of stem cells facilitated by the materials. Finally, we discuss the existing challenges in this field to advance the development of nerve biomaterials.

Abstract
In this study, two novel biomimetic modular peptide motifs based on the alpha-2 subunit of type IV collagen (CO4A2) were designed and immobilized on a graphene platform to imitate integrin and heparan sulfate- (HS-) binding proteins. The in silico study was used to design 9-mer K[KGDRGD]AG and 10-mer KK[SGDRGD]AG for testing designed Integrin-Binding Peptide (dIBP) and HS-Binding Peptide (dHBP). The virtual docking technique was used to optimize the peptide motifs and their relevant receptors. Molecular dynamic (MD) simulation was used to evaluate the stability of peptide-receptor complexes. The effect of the platform on the differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) to hepatic-like cells (HLCs) was evaluated. After differentiation, some hepatic cells’ molecular markers such as albumin, AFP, CK-18, and CK-19 were successfully followed. Graphene-heparan sulfate binding peptide (G-HSBP) enhances the mature hepatic markers’ expression instead of control (p ≤ 0.05). The pathological study showed that the designed platform is safe, and no adverse effects were seen till 21 days after implantation.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanocomposites have recently attracted increasing attention in tissue engineering because of their extraordinary features. These biocompatible substances, in the presence of an apt microenvironment, can stimulate and sustain the growth and differentiation of stem cells into different lineages. This review discusses the characteristics of graphene and its derivatives, such as their excellent electrical signal transduction, carrier mobility, outstanding mechanical strength with improving surface characteristics, self-lubrication, antiwear properties, enormous specific surface area, and ease of functional group modification. Moreover, safety issues in the application of graphene and its derivatives in terms of biocompatibility, toxicity, and interaction with immune cells are discussed. We also describe the applicability of graphene-based nanocomposites in tissue healing and organ regeneration, particularly in the bone, cartilage, teeth, neurons, heart, skeletal muscle, and skin. The impacts of special textural and structural characteristics of graphene-based nanomaterials on the regeneration of various tissues are highlighted. Finally, the present review gives some hints on future research for the transformation of these exciting materials in clinical studies.

Abstract
Human cells are both advanced pharmaceutical drugs and 'drug deliverers'. However, functional control prior to or after cell implantation remains challenging. Micro-patterning cells through geometrically defined adhesion sites allows controlling morphogenesis, polarity, cellular mechanics, proliferation, migration, differentiation, stemness, cell-cell interactions, collective cell behavior, and likely immuno-modulatory properties. Consequently, generating micro-patterned therapeutic cells is a promising idea that has not yet been realized and few if any steps have been undertaken in this direction. This review highlights potential therapeutic applications, summarizes comprehensively the many cell functions that have been successfully controlled through micro-patterning, details the established micro-pattern designs, introduces the available fabrication technologies to the non-specialized reader, and suggests a quality evaluation score. Such a broad review is not yet available but would facilitate the manufacturing of therapeutically patterned cell populations using micro-patterned cell-instructive biomaterials for improved functional control as drug delivery systems in the context of cells as pharmaceutical products.

The high neurogenic potential of dental and oral-derived stem cells due to their embryonic neural crest origin, coupled with their ready accessibility and easy isolation from clinical waste, make these ideal cell sources for neuroregeneration therapy. Nevertheless, these cells also have high propensity to differentiate into the osteo-odontogenic lineage. One strategy to enhance neurogenesis of these cells may be to recapitulate the natural physiological electrical microenvironment of neural tissues via electroactive or electroconductive tissue engineering scaffolds. Nevertheless, to date, there had been hardly any such studies on these cells. Most relevant scientific information comes from neurogenesis of other mesenchymal stem/stromal cell lineages (particularly bone marrow and adipose tissue) cultured on electroactive and electroconductive scaffolds, which will therefore be the focus of this review. Although there are larger number of similar studies on neural cell lines (i.e. PC12), neural stem/progenitor cells, and pluripotent stem cells, the scientific data from such studies are much less relevant and less translatable to dental and oral-derived stem cells, which are of the mesenchymal lineage. Much extrapolation work is needed to validate that electroactive and electroconductive scaffolds can indeed promote neurogenesis of dental and oral-derived stem cells, which would thus facilitate clinical applications in neuroregeneration therapy.

Abstract
Although engineered nanoparticles loaded with specific growth factors are used to regulate differentiation of stem cells, the low loading efficiency and biocompatibility are still great challenges in tissue repair. A nature-inspired biomimetic delivery system with targeted functions is attractive for enhancing cell activity and controlling cell fate. Herein, a stem cell membrane (SCM)-wrapped dexamethasone (DEX)-loaded zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is constructed, which integrates the synthetic nanomaterials with native plasma membrane, to achieve efficient DEX delivery and DEX-mediated bone repair. The DEX@ZIF-8-SCM enables high DEX loading capacity, modulates the sustained release, and facilitates the specific uptake of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), owing to the porous property of ZIF-8 and the innate targeting capability of SCM. The endocytosed DEX@ZIF-8-SCM shows high cytocompatibility and greatly enhances the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. Furthermore, RNA-sequencing data reveal that the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt signaling pathways are activated and dominantly involved in the accelerated osteogenesis. In the bone defect model, the administrated DEX@ZIF-8-SCM exerts excellent biocompatibility and effectively promotes bone regeneration. Overall, the SCM-derived biomimetic nanoplatform achieves targeted delivery, excellent biosafety, and enhanced osteogenic differentiation and bone repair, which provides a new and valid strategy for treating various tissue injuries.

Abstract
In vitro spatiotemporal control of cell differentiation is a critical issue in several biomedical fields such as stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine, as it enables the generation of heterogeneous tissue structures similar to those of their native counterparts. However, the simultaneous control of both spatial and temporal cell differentiation poses important challenges, and therefore no previous studies have achieved this goal. Here, the authors develop a cell differentiation biomolecular electron controller ("Biomoletron") composed of recombinant proteins, DNA, Au nanoparticles, peptides, and an electrically released complex with retinoic acid (RA) to spatiotemporally control SH-SY5Y cell differentiation. RA is only released from the Biomoletron when the complex is electrically stimulated, thus demonstrating the temporal control of SH-SY5Y cell differentiation. Furthermore, by introducing a patterned Au substrate that allows controlling the area where the Biomoletron is immobilized, spatiotemporal differentiation of the SH-SY5Y cell is successfully achieved. Therefore, the proposed Biomoletron-mediated differentiation method provides a promising strategy for spatiotemporal cell differentiation control with applications in regenerative medicine and cell therapy.

Abstract
The topographical interface of the extracellular environment has been appreciated as a principal biophysical regulator for modulating cell functions, such as adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentiation. Despite the existed approaches that use two-dimensional nanomaterials to provide beneficial effects, opportunities evaluating their impact on stem cells remain open to elicit unprecedented cellular responses. Herein, we report an ultrathin cell-culture platform with potential-responsive nanoscale biointerfaces for monitoring mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). We designed an intriguing nanostructured array through self-assembly of graphene oxide sheets and subsequent lithographical patterning method to produce chemophysically defined regions. MSCs cultured on anisotropic micro/nanoscale patterned substrate were spontaneously organized in a highly ordered configuration mainly due to the cell-repellent interactions. Moreover, the spatially aligned MSCs were spontaneously differentiated into smooth muscle cells upon the specific crosstalk between cells. This work provides a robust strategy for directing stem cells and differentiation, which can be utilized as a potential cell culture platform to understand cell-substrate or cell-cell interactions, further developing tissue repair and stem cell-based therapies.

Abstract
The degeneration or loss of skeletal muscles, which can be caused by traumatic injury or disease, impacts most aspects of human activity. Among various techniques reported to regenerate skeletal muscle tissue, controlling the external cellular environment has been proven effective in guiding muscle differentiation. In this study, we report a nano-sized graphene oxide (sGO)-modified nanopillars on microgroove hybrid polymer array (NMPA) that effectively controls skeletal muscle cell differentiation. sGO-coated NMPA (sG-NMPA) were first fabricated by sequential laser interference lithography and microcontact printing methods. To compensate for the low adhesion property of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) used in this study, graphene oxide (GO), a proven cytophilic nanomaterial, was further modified. Among various sizes of GO, sGO (< 10 nm) was found to be the most effective not only for coating the surface of the NM structure but also for enhancing the cell adhesion and spreading on the fabricated substrates. Remarkably, owing to the micro-sized line patterns that guide cellular morphology to an elongated shape and because of the presence of sGO-modified nanostructures, mouse myoblast cells (C2C12) were efficiently differentiated into skeletal muscle cells on the hybrid patterns, based on the myosin heavy chain expression levels. Therefore, the developed sGO coated polymeric hybrid pattern arrays can serve as a potential platform for rapid and highly efficient in vitro muscle cell generation.

Abstract
Intensively studied 3D printing technology is frequently hindered by the effective printable ink preparation method. Herein, we propose an elegant and gentle solvent consumption strategy to slowly disrupt the thermodynamic stability of the biopolymer (polysaccharide: cellulose, chitin, and chitosan) solution to slightly induce the molecule chains to in situ self-assemble into nanostructures for regulating the rheological properties, eventually achieving the acceptable printability. The polysaccharides are dissolved in the alkali/urea solvent. The weak Lewis acid fumed silica (as solvent mediator) is used to (i) slowly and partially consume the alkali/urea solvent to induce the polysaccharide chains to self-assemble into nanofibers to form a percolating network in a limited scale without leading to gelation and (ii) act as the support to increase the solution modulus, for achieving superior printability and scaffold design flexibility. As a demonstration, the resulting polysaccharide scaffolds with biomimetic nanofibrous structures exhibit superior performances in both the cell-free and cell-loaded bone tissue engineering strategies, showing the potential in tissue engineering. Moreover, the fumed silica could be completely removed by alkali treatment without defecting the nanofibrous structure, showing the potential in various applications. We anticipate our solvent-mediated 3D printing ink preparation concept could be used to fabricate other polymeric facile inks and for widespread applications in diverse fields.

Abstract
Graphene and its derivatives have application potential in many areas such as environmental technology, catalysis, biomedicine, and in particular, stem cell-based differentiation and regenerative therapies. Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation has emerged as a potential therapy for some diseases, such as acute kidney damage, liver failure and myocardial infarction. However, the poor survival of transplanted stem cells in such applications has significantly limited their therapeutic effectiveness. Graphene-based materials can improve the therapeutic efficacy of stem cells as they prevent the death of implanted cells by attaching them prior to implantation and increasing their paracrine secretion. In this review, we will highlight a number of recent studies that have investigated the potential use of graphene or its derivatives in stem cell applications and the prevention of transplanted stem cells from cell death, thereby improving their therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Purpose To investigate the feasibility and the optimum condition of human adipose-derived stem cells cultured on the mineralized collagen material; and to further explore the mechanism of osteogenic differentiation of the human Adipose-derived stem cells stimulated by the mineralized collagen material. Methods Primary human adipose-derived stem cells (HADSCs) were isolated from human adipose tissue using centrifugal stratification, which had been passed repeatedly to later generations and purified. Human adipose-derived stem cells were cultured on the bone graft material and the optimum concentration was explored by Alamar blue colorimetric method. The rest experiment was conducted according to the result. The experimental groups are shown below: group A (HADSCs + bone graft material); group B (HADSCs). Morphological observation was taken by scanning electronic microscope (SEM). Alkaline phosphatase activities were tested by histochemical method. Calcium deposition was investigated by alizarin red staining. The quantity access of osteogenic-related mRNA: ALP (alkaline phosphatase), BMP2 (bone morphogenetic protein 2) and RUNX2 (runt-related transcription factor 2) were detected using RT-PCR. Results The cultured cells grew stably and proliferated rapidly. The optimum condition was 0.5 mg/cm2 bone graft material coated on the bottom of medium. After culturing on the material 14 days, the alizarin red staining showed that more calcium deposition was detected in group A and alkaline phosphatase activities of group A was higher than group B (p ˃ 0.05). Similarly, after culturing for 14 days, the ALP, BMP2 and RUNX2 transcription activity of group A was higher than group B (p ˃ 0.05). Conclusion Human adipose-derived stem cells cultured on bone graft material were dominantly differentiated into osteoblast in vitro. Thus it provided a new choice for bone tissue engineering.

The electrochemical technique is one of the most accurate, rapid, and sensitive analytical assays, which becomes promising techniques for biological assays at a single-cell scale. Nanometals have been widely used for modification of the traditional electrodes to develop highly sensitive electrochemical cell chips. The electrochemical cell chips based on the nanostructured surface have been used as label-free, simple, and non-destructive techniques for in vitro monitoring of the effects of different anticancer drugs at the cellular level. Here, we will provide the recent progress in fabrication of nanopatterned surface and cell-based nanoarray, and discuss their applications based on electrochemical techniques such as detection of cellular states and chemicals, and non-destructive monitoring of stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
Stem cells have been sought as a promising cell source in the tissue engineering field due to their proliferative capacity as well as differentiation potential. Biomaterials have been utilized to facilitate the delivery of stem cells in order to improve their engraftment and long-term viability upon implantation. Biomaterials also have been developed as scaffolds to promote stem cell induced tissue regeneration. This review focuses on the latter where the biomaterial scaffold is designed to provide physical cues to stem cells in order to promote their behavior for tissue formation. Recent work that explores the effect of scaffold physical properties, topography, mechanical properties and electrical properties, is discussed. Although still being elucidated, the biological mechanisms, including cell shape, focal adhesion distribution, and nuclear shape, are presented. This review also discusses emerging areas and challenges in clinical translation.

Abstract
Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are considered to be seed cells in bone tissue engineering and emerging evidence indicates that circular RNAs (circRNAs) function in the osteogenic differentiation of ADSCs. The mechanisms of osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs from the perspective of circRNA modulation are examined in this study. First, circRNA-23525 was upregulated during osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs. Second, overexpression of circRNA-23525 increased Runx2, ALP and OCN at both mRNA and protein levels. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red staining indicated a similar tendency. Silencing circRNA-23525 produced the opposite effect. Bioinformatics analysis with luciferase assays confirmed that circRNA-23525 functioned as a sponge for miR-30a-3p. In the osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs, the dynamic expression of miR-30a-3p and circRNA-23525 resulted in an opposite trend at 3, 7 and 14 days. Overexpression of circRNA-23525 downregulated miR-30a-3p and knockdown of circRNA-23525 promoted the expression of miR-30a-3p. Bioinformatics methods and luciferase assays suggested that miR-30a-3p modulated Runx2 expression by targeting 3'UTR. Knockdown of miR-30a-3p facilitated osteogenesis in ADSCs and enhancing miR-30a-3p interfered with the osteogenic process. Finally, circRNA-23525 overexpression significantly increased Runx2 expression, while co-transfection of miR-30a-3p mimics reversed it. Runx2 expression was decreased in circRNA-23525-knockdown ADSCs but expression was rescued by including the miR-30a-3p inhibitor in the osteoblastic process. ALP activity and mineralized bone matrix confirmed the function of circRNA-23525/miR-30a-3p in osteogenesis. Taken together, the current study demonstrated that circRNA-23525 regulates Runx2 expression via targeting miR-30a-3p and is thus a positive regulator in the osteoblastic differentiation of ADSCs.

Abstract
The injuries and defects in the central nervous system are the causes of disability and death of an affected person. As of now, there are no clinically available methods to enhance neural structural regeneration and functional recovery of nerve injuries. Recently, some experimental studies claimed that the injuries in brain can be repaired by progenitor or neural stem cells located in the neurogenic sites of adult mammalian brain. Various attempts have been made to construct biomimetic physiological microenvironment for neural stem cells to control their ultimate fate. Conductive materials have been considered as one the best choices for nerve regeneration due to the capacity to mimic the microenvironment of stem cells and regulate the alignment, growth, and differentiation of neural stem cells. The review highlights the use of conductive biomaterials, e.g., polypyrrole, polyaniline, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), multi-walled carbon nanotubes, single-wall carbon nanotubes, graphene, and graphite oxide, for controlling the neural stem cells activities in terms of proliferation and neuronal differentiation. The effects of conductive biomaterials in axon elongation and synapse formation for optimal repair of central nervous system injuries are also discussed.

Abstract
Tissue engineering provides great possibilities to manage tissue damages and injuries in modern medicine. The involvement of hard biocompatible materials in tissue engineering-based therapies for the healing of soft tissue defects has impressively increased over the last few years: in this regard, different types of bioceramics were developed, examined and applied either alone or in combination with polymers to produce composites. Bioactive glasses, carbon nanostructures, and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles are among the most widely-proposed hard materials for treating a broad range of soft tissue damages, from acute and chronic skin wounds to complex injuries of nervous and cardiopulmonary systems. Although being originally developed for use in contact with bone, these substances were also shown to offer excellent key features for repair and regeneration of wounds and "delicate" structures of the body, including improved cell proliferation and differentiation, enhanced angiogenesis, and antibacterial/anti-inflammatory activities. Furthermore, when embedded in a soft matrix, these hard materials can improve the mechanical properties of the implant. They could be applied in various forms and formulations such as fine powders, granules, and micro- or nanofibers. There are some pre-clinical trials in which bioceramics are being utilized for skin wounds; however, some crucial questions should still be addressed before the extensive and safe use of bioceramics in soft tissue healing. For example, defining optimal formulations, dosages, and administration routes remain to be fixed and summarized as standard guidelines in the clinic. This review paper aims at providing a comprehensive picture of the use and potential of bioceramics in treatment, reconstruction, and preservation of soft tissues (skin, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems, peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, skeletal muscles, and ophthalmic tissues) and critically discusses their pros and cons (e.g., the risk of calcification and ectopic bone formation as well as the local and systemic toxicity) in this regard. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Soft tissues form a big part of the human body and play vital roles in maintaining both structure and function of various organs; however, optimal repair and regeneration of injured soft tissues (e.g., skin, peripheral nerve) still remain a grand challenge in biomedicine. Although polymers were extensively applied to restore the lost or injured soft tissues, the use of bioceramics has the potential to provides new opportunities which are still partially unexplored or at the very beginning. This reviews summarizes the state of the art of bioceramics in this field, highlighting the latest evolutions and the new horizons that can be opened by their use in the context of soft tissue engineering. Existing results and future challenges are discussed in order to provide an up-to-date contribution that is useful to both experienced scientists and early-stage researchers of the biomaterials community.

Abstract
This study examines the osteogenic differentiation promotion effect of micro/nanostructures of raffia on human adipose-derived stem cells to confirm the potential application of plant-derived micro/nanotopographies in tissue regeneration. The results confirm that the nanorod array on the front surface and the honeycomb-like microstructure on the back surface of raffia can not only regulate the adhesion, spreading, and migration of stem cells but also promote the osteogenic differentiation of the stem cells at a subsequent stage of cell culture. The osteocalcin expressions by the 21-day cultured cells on the front and back surfaces of raffia were 55-fold and 36-fold higher compared to the expression on a tissue culture plate. This indicates that plant-derived micro/nanotopographies can significantly promote stem cell differentiation. Furthermore, a general strategy for the application of plant-derived materials to stem-cell differentiation and bone-tissue engineering is suggested.

Abstract
Tissue engineering, based on a combination of 3D printing, biomaterials blending and stem cell technology, offers the potential to establish customized, transplantable autologous implants using a patient's own cells. Graphene, as a two-dimensional (2D) version of carbon, has shown great potential for tissue engineering. Here, we describe a novel combination of graphene with 3D printed alginate (Alg)-based scaffolds for human adipose stem cell (ADSC) support and osteogenic induction. Alg printing was enabled through addition of gelatin (Gel) that was removed after printing, and the 3D structure was then coated with graphene oxide (GO). GO was chemically reduced with a biocompatible reductant (ascorbic acid) to provide electrical conductivity and cell affinity sites. The reduced 3D graphene oxide (RGO)/Alg scaffold has good cytocompatibility and can support human ADSC proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. Our finding supports the potential for the printed scaffold's use for in vitro engineering of bone and other tissues using ADSCs and potentially other human stem cells, as well as in vivo regenerative medicine.

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
Adipose-derived stem cells are adult stem cells which are easy to obtain and multi-potent. Stem-cell therapy has become a promising new treatment for many diseases, and plays an increasingly important role in the field of tissue repair, regeneration and reconstruction. The physicochemical properties of the extracellular microenvironment contribute to the regulation of the fate of stem cells. Nanomaterials have stable particle size, large specific surface area and good biocompatibility, which has led them being recognized as having broad application prospects in the field of biomedicine. In this paper, we review recent developments of nanomaterials in adipose-derived stem cell research. Taken together, the current literature indicates that nanomaterials can regulate the proliferation and differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells. However, the properties and regulatory effects of nanomaterials can vary widely depending on their composition. This review aims to provide a comprehensive guide for future stem-cell research on the use of nanomaterials.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) and its derivatives are currently being explored for the modification of bone biomaterials. However, the effect of GO coatings on immunoregulation and subsequent impacts on osteogenesis are not known. In this study, GO was coated on pure titanium using dopamine. GO-coated titanium (Ti-GO) surfaces exhibited good biocompatibility, with the ability to stimulate the expression of osteogenic genes, and extracellular matrix mineralization in human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Interestingly, it was found that GO-coated surfaces could manipulate the polarization of macrophages and expression of inflammatory cytokines via the Toll-like receptor pathway. Under physiological conditions, Ti-GO activated macrophages and induced mild inflammation and a pro-osteogenic environment, characterized by a slight increase in the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, as well as increased expression of the TGF-β1 and oncostatin M genes. In an environment mimicking acute inflammatory conditions, Ti-GO attenuated inflammatory responses, as shown by the downregulation of proinflammatory cytokines. Conditioned medium collected from macrophages stimulated by Ti-GO played a significant stimulatory role in the osteogenic differentiation of hMSCs. In summary, GO-coated surfaces displayed beneficial immunomodulatory effects in osteogenesis, indicating that GO could be a potential substance for the modification of bone scaffolds and implants.

Abstract
Research on the 3D culturing of cancer cells that better mimic in vivo solid tumors is important for efficient drug screening. Herein, a new platform that effectively facilitates the formation of cancer spheroids for anticancer drug screening is reported. Cytophilic graphene oxide (GO), when selectively coated on the sidewalls of micro-wells fabricated from a cell-adhesion-resistive polymer, is found to efficiently initiates distinct donut-like formation of cancer cell spheroids. Scanning electron microscopy and Raman mapping are used to analyze vertically coated GO micropatterns (vGO-MPs) of different sizes (100-250 µm) on polymer platforms, and human liver cancer cells (HepG2), as a model cancer, are seeded on these platforms. Remarkably, the 150 µm-sized platform is found to easily and rapidly generate 3D spheroids in the absence of cell-adhesion proteins. In addition, owing to the unique characteristics of GO, vGO-MPs are highly stable for long periods of time (≈1 month), even under harsh conditions (>70 °C). Moreover, the anticancer effects of two drugs (hydroxyurea and cisplatin) and the potential anticancer compound (curcumin) on HepG2 cells are demonstrated by simply measuring decreases in spheroid sizes. Hence, this new platform is highly promising as a cancer spheroid-forming material for rapid drug screening.

There is strong evidence showing that nanomaterials not only interact with cells passively but also actively, mediating essential molecular processes for the regulation of cellular functions, but we are only starting to understand the mechanisms of those interactions. Systematic studies about cell behavior as a response to specific nanoparticle properties are scarce in the literature even when they are necessary for the rational design of medical nanodevices. Information in the literature shows that the physicochemical properties determine the bioactivity, biocompatibility, and safety of nanomaterials. The information available regarding the interaction and responses of cells to nanomaterials has not been analyzed and discussed in a single document. Hence, in this review, we present the latest advances about cellular responses to nanomaterials and integrate the available information into concrete considerations for the development of innovative, efficient, specific and, more importantly, safe biomedical nanodevices. We focus on how physicochemical nanoparticle properties (size, chemical surface, shape, charge, and topography) influence cell behavior in a first attempt to provide a practical guide for designing medical nanodevices, avoiding common experimental omissions that may lead to data misinterpretation. Finally, we emphasize the importance of the systematic study of nano-bio interactions to acquire sufficient reproducible information that allows accurate control of cell behavior based on tuning of nanomaterial properties. This information is useful to guide the design of specific nanodevices and nanomaterials to elicit desired cell responses, like targeting, drug delivery, cell attachment, differentiation, etc, or to avoid undesired side effects.

Enhancing Neurogenesis of Neural Stem Cells Using Homogeneous Nanohole Pattern-Modified Conductive Platform. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 21:ijms21010191. [PMID: 31888101 PMCID: PMC6981825 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21010191] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Revised: 12/21/2019] [Accepted: 12/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Biocompatible platforms, wherein cells attach and grow, are important for controlling cytoskeletal dynamics and steering stem cell functions, including differentiation. Among various components, membrane integrins play a key role in focal adhesion of cells (18-20 nm in size) and are, thus, highly sensitive to the nanotopographical features of underlying substrates. Hence, it is necessary to develop a platform/technique that can provide high flexibility in controlling nanostructure sizes. We report a platform modified with homogeneous nanohole patterns, effective in guiding neurogenesis of mouse neural stem cells (mNSCs). Sizes of nanoholes were easily generated and varied using laser interference lithography (LIL), by changing the incident angles of light interference on substrates. Among three different nanohole patterns fabricated on conductive transparent electrodes, 500 nm-sized nanoholes showed the best performance for cell adhesion and spreading, based on F-actin and lamellipodia/filopodia expression. Enhanced biocompatibility and cell adhesion of these nanohole patterns ultimately resulted in the enhanced neurogenesis of mNSCs, based on the mRNAs expression level of the mNSCs marker and several neuronal markers. Therefore, platforms modified with homogeneous nanohole patterns fabricated by LIL are promising for the precise tuning of nanostructures in tissue culture platforms and useful for controlling various differentiation lineages of stem cells.

Abstract
Increasing bone formation on the surfaces of implants such as screws, plates, or shims holds great significance for clinical medicine. However, osteogenesis implant coatings that mimic natural bone in terms of both their components and structural features are still lacking. Here we report the biomimetic interface of calcium phosphate (CaP) in a collagen matrix fabricated by controlled mineralization that presents biomimetic porous features. The porous CaP/collagen interface, with a thickness of about 1 μm, significantly enhances osteogenesis, as verified at both the gene and protein levels as well as by in vivo experiments. Taking advantage of the generality of the method, the biomimetic interface was prepared on a variety of substrates, including conductive substrates, 3D metal meshes, plastic or elastic substrates, and even on filter papers. The adjustability and generality of the method have enabled new characterization tests to be developed during experiments on cells and thus should greatly facilitate clinical medicine and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineering often uses synthetic scaffolds to direct cell responses during engineered tissue development. Since cells reside within specific niches of the extracellular matrix, it is important to understand how the matrix guides cell response and then incorporate this knowledge into scaffold design. The goal of this review is to review elements of cell-matrix interactions that are critical to informing and evaluating cellular response on synthetic scaffolds. Therefore, this review examines fibrous proteins of the extracellular matrix and their effects on cell behavior, followed by a discussion of the cellular responses elicited by fiber diameter, alignment, and scaffold porosity of two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) synthetic scaffolds. Variations in fiber diameter, alignment, and scaffold porosity guide stem cells toward different lineages. Cells generally exhibit rounded morphology on nanofibers, randomly oriented fibers, and low-porosity scaffolds. Conversely, cells exhibit elongated, spindle-shaped morphology on microfibers, aligned fibers, and high-porosity scaffolds. Cells migrate with higher velocities on nanofibers, aligned fibers, and high-porosity scaffolds but migrate greater distances on microfibers, aligned fibers, and highly porous scaffolds. Incorporating relevant biomimetic factors into synthetic scaffolds destined for specific tissue application could take advantage of and further enhance these responses.

Abstract
As neural stem cells (NSCs) interact with biophysical cues from their niche during development, it is important to understand the biomolecular mechanism of how the NSCs process these biophysical cues to regulate their behaviors. In particular, anisotropic geometric cues in micro-/nanoscale have been utilized to investigate the biophysical effect of the structure on NSCs behaviors. Here, a series of new nanoscale anisotropic wrinkle structures with the a range of wavelength scales (from 50 nm to 37 μm) was developed to demonstrate the effect of the anisotropic nanostructure on the fate commitment of NSCs. Intriguingly, two distinct characteristic length scales promoted the neurogenesis. Each wavelength scale showed a striking variation in terms of dependency on the directionality of the structures, suggesting the existence of at least two different ways in the processing of anisotropic geometries for neurogenesis. Furthermore, the combined effect of the two distinctive length scales was observed by employing hierarchical multiscale wrinkle structures with two characteristic neurogenesis-promoting wavelengths. Taken together, the wrinkle structure system developed in this study can serve as an effective platform to advance the understanding of how cells sense anisotropic geometries for their specific cellular behaviors. Furthermore, this could provide clues for improving nerve regeneration system of stem cell therapies.

Abstract
Nanoparticle-based cell differentiation therapy has attracted increasing research interest as it is a promising substitute for conventional cancer treatment methods. Here, the topological insulator bismuth selenide nanoparticle (Bi2Se3 NP) was core-shelled with silver (Ag@Bi2Se3) to represent remarkable biocompatibility and plasmonic features (ca. 2.3 times higher than those of Ag nanoparticle). Moreover, a newly developed RNA three-way junction (3WJ) structure was designed for the quad-functionalization of any type of nanoparticle and surface. One leg of the 3WJ was attached to the Ag@Bi2Se3, and the other leg harbored a cell-penetrating RNA and a florescence tag. The third leg was designed to inhibit micro-RNA-17 (miR-17) and to further release retinoic acid (RA). A new drug delivery mechanism was developed for the slow release of RA inside the cytosol based on the prerequisite inhibition of miR-17 using a strand displacement strategy. In this paper, we report a simple methodology for resolving the hydrophobicity challenges of RA by its conjugation with a RNA strand (RA/R) through a stimulus-responsive cross-linker. The developed nanobiohybrid material could fully differentiate SH-SY5Y cancer cells into neurons and stop their growth in 6 days without requiring sequential treatments which has not been reported yet. Using a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy technique, the RA delivery and the cell differentiation process were monitored nondestructively in real time. The fabricated nanobiohybrid material could open the new horizons in the fabrication of different diagnostic/therapeutic agents.

Abstract
The main target of this work was to explore the proliferative impact of selenium dioxide nanoparticles (SeO2) and selenium dioxide/titanium dioxide nanocomposites (Se/Ti (I), (II) and (III)) on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). For this purpose, SeO2 and Se/Ti (I), (II) and (III) were prepared by facile one step method and characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Zetasizer, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) along with energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX) with reference to SeO2 nanoparticles. Also, MSCs were isolated from rat bone marrow (BM-MSCs) and adipose tissue (ADSCs), propagated and characterized by flow cytometry. Thereafter, the proliferative effect of the fabricated nanomaterials was investigated by MTT assay. The TEM and DLS results, revealed that the average particle size of the suggested nanomaterials was in nanoscale. XRD pattern showed well crystalline structure for SeO2 nanoparticles and Se/Ti (I), (II) and (III) nanocomposites; the decreasing of the crystalline phase was observed by increasing the wt% of TiO2. The designed nanomaterials showed proliferative effects on MSCs with the most prominent effect exerted by 2 µg/ml of Se/Ti (III) and 5 µg/ml of Se/Ti (II) for ADSCs and 20 µg/ml of Se/Ti (II) and 10 µg/ml of Se/Ti (III) for BM-MSCs. Therefore, these newly designed nanomaterials have a promising influence on MSCs proliferation and they are recommended to be utilized in the filed of tissue engineering.

Abstract
Graphene, owing to its inherent chemical inertness, biocompatibility, and mechanical flexibility, has great potential in guiding cell behaviors such as adhesion and differentiation. However, due to the two-dimensional (2D) nature of graphene, the microfabrication of graphene into micro/nanoscale patterns has been widely adopted for guiding cellular assembly. In this study, we report crumpled graphene, i.e., monolithically defined graphene with a nanoscale wavy surface texture, as a tissue engineering platform that can efficiently promote aligned C2C12 mouse myoblast cell differentiation. We imparted out-of-plane, nanoscale crumpled morphologies to flat graphene via compressive strain-induced deformation. When C2C12 mouse myoblast cells were seeded on the uniaxially crumpled graphene, not only were the alignment and elongation promoted at a single-cell level but also the differentiation and maturation of myotubes were enhanced compared to that on flat graphene. These results demonstrate the utility of the crumpled graphene platform for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine for skeletal muscle tissues.

Abstract
One of the major issues in tissue engineering is constructing a functional scaffold to support cell growth and also provide proper synergistic guidance cues. Graphene-based nanomaterials have emerged as biocompatible and electroactive scaffolds for neurogenesis and myogenesis, due to their excellent tunable chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. This review first assesses the recent investigations focusing on the fabrication and applications of graphene-based nanomaterials for neurogenesis and myogenesis, in the form of either 2D films, 3D scaffolds, or composite architectures. Besides, because of their outstanding electrical properties, graphene family materials are particularly suitable for designing electroactive scaffolds that could provide proper electrical stimulation (i.e., electrical or photo stimuli) to promote the regeneration of excitable neurons and muscle cells. Therefore, the effects and mechanism of electrical and/or photo stimulations on neurogenesis and myogenesis are followed. Furthermore, studies on their biocompatibilities and toxicities especially to neural and muscle cells are evaluated. Finally, the future challenges and perspectives in facilitating the development of clinical translation of graphene-family nanomaterials in treating neurodegenerative and muscle diseases are discussed.
