Decellularized Scaffolds of Nopal ( Opuntia Ficus-indica) for Bioengineering in Regenerative Dentistry. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14050252.

Abstract
Opuntia Ficus-indica, or nopal, is traditionally used for its medicinal properties in Mexico. This study aims to decellularize and characterize nopal (Opuntia Ficus-indica) scaffolds, assess their degradation and the proliferation of hDPSC, and determine potential pro-inflammatory effects by assessing the expression of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX-1 and 2). The scaffolds were decellularized using a 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) solution and confirmed by color, optical microscopy, and SEM. The degradation rates and mechanical properties of the scaffolds were determined by weight and solution absorbances using trypsin and PBS and tensile strength testing. Human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) primary cells were used for scaffold-cell interaction and proliferation assays, as well as an MTT assay to determine proliferation. Proinflammatory protein expression of COX-I and -II was discovered by Western blot assay, and the cultures were induced into a pro-inflammatory state with interleukin 1-β. The nopal scaffolds exhibited a porous structure with an average pore size of 252 ± 77 μm. The decellularized scaffolds showed a 57% reduction in weight loss during hydrolytic degradation and a 70% reduction during enzymatic degradation. There was no difference in tensile strengths between native and decellularized scaffolds (12.5 ± 1 and 11.8 ± 0.5 MPa). Furthermore, hDPSCs showed a significant increase in cell viability of 95% and 106% at 168 h for native and decellularized scaffolds, respectively. The combination of the scaffold and hDPSCs did not cause an increase in the expression of COX-1 and COX-2 proteins. However, when the combination was exposed to IL-1β, there was an increase in the expression of COX-2. This study demonstrates the potential application of nopal scaffolds in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine or dentistry, owing to their structural characteristics, degradation properties, mechanical properties, ability to induce cell proliferation, and lack of enhancement of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
Due to its inherent properties and wide availability, cellulose acetate is an extremely competitive candidate for the production of polymeric membranes. However, for best results in particular applications, membrane modification is required in order to minimize unwanted interactions and introduce novel characteristics to the pristine polymer. In this study, the surface of commercial cellulose acetate membranes was functionalized with 4'-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 ether, using a covalent bonding approach. The main goal was the improvement of the membranes biomineralization ability, thus making them prospective materials for bone regeneration applications. The proposed reaction mechanism was confirmed by XPS and NMR analysis while the presence of the functionalization agents in the membranes structure was showed by ATR FT-IR and Raman spectra. The effects of the functionalization process on the morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the membranes were studied by SEM, TGA and tensile tests. The obtained results revealed that the cellulose acetate membranes were successfully functionalized with crown ether and provided a good understanding of the interactions that took place between the polymer and the functionalization agents. Moreover, promising results were obtained during the Taguchi biomineralization studies. SEM images, EDX mapping and XRD spectra indicating that the CA-AB15C5 membranes have a superior Ca2+ ions retention ability, this causing an accentuated calcium phosphate deposition on the modified polymeric fibers, compared to the neat CA membrane.

Abstract
Cultivating meat from stem cells rather than by raising animals is a promising solution to concerns about the negative externalities of meat production. For cultivated meat to fully mimic conventional meat's organoleptic and nutritional properties, innovations in scaffolding technology are required. Many scaffolding technologies are already developed for use in biomedical tissue engineering. However, cultivated meat production comes with a unique set of constraints related to the scale and cost of production as well as the necessary attributes of the final product, such as texture and food safety. This review discusses the properties of vertebrate skeletal muscle that will need to be replicated in a successful product and the current state of scaffolding innovation within the cultivated meat industry, highlighting promising scaffold materials and techniques that can be applied to cultivated meat development. Recommendations are provided for future research into scaffolds capable of supporting the growth of high-quality meat while minimizing production costs. Although the development of appropriate scaffolds for cultivated meat is challenging, it is also tractable and provides novel opportunities to customize meat properties.

Abstract
The article presents the method of preparation of new, stable bacterial cellulose composites with perforated solid materials for biomedical applications, comprising reconstructive surgery of soft and hard tissues. The composites were obtained in specially designed bioreactors equipped with a set of perforated mesh stripes threaded vertically to the culture medium, ensuring perpendicular growth of bacterial nanocellulose synthesized by Komagataeibacter xylinus E25 in stationary culture. The developed biocomposites have been tested for stability and mechanical strength, as well as for their in vitro inflammatory responses shown as mast cell degranulation with N-acetyl-β-d-hexosaminidase release and mast cell adhesion. The obtained results indicate that the composites components are well integrated after the process of cultivation and purification. Bacterial nanocellulose does not negatively influence mechanical properties of the polypropylene porous mesh, preserving its tensile strength, elasticity, and load. Moreover, application of bacterial cellulose makes the composites less immunogenic as compared to polypropylene itself. Therefore, the composites have the great potential of application in medicine, and depending on the applied porous material, might be used either in hernioplasty (if porous hernia mesh is used), cranioplasty (if perforated metal or polymeric cranial implant is applied), or as a protective barrier in any application that requires biocompatibility or antiadhesive properties improvement. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Porous bioglass (BG) scaffolds are of great importance in tissue engineering because of their excellent osteogenic properties for bone regeneration. Herein, we reported for the first time the use of amino-modified bacterial cellulose (NBC) as a template to prepare a three-dimensional (3D) nanofibrous BG scaffold by a facile modified sol-gel approach under ultrasonic treatment. The results suggested that the amino groups on the BC template could effectively promote the absorption of the deposited CaO and SiO2 precursors, and the as-obtained BG scaffold showed a 3D interconnected porous network structure consisting of nanofibers with a diameter of about 20 nm. Furthermore, the as-obtained BG scaffold showed very good bioactivity after being immersed in SBF for 7 days. This research provides a facile and efficient way to prepare a nanofibrous BG scaffold with 3D porous structure, which can be used as a promising candidate for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Preparation of composites with different properties and gradient of components is aimed at better performance of materials for bone substitution. Bacterial cellulose-hydroxyapatite (BC-HAP) composites with various mass ratio of the components (BC-25HAP, BC-4HAP, and BC-HAP) were prepared by a novel method of growing HAP nanocrystals (the linear size ≤30 nm) in water solutions in the presence of the BC gel-film micro-fragments. Varying the BC-HAP ratios leads to a gradual change of the physical properties of the materials. It was found that an increase in the BC content results in a decrease of the HAP crystal length and specific surface area, porosity, and pore volume while the values of density and Young's modulus values increase.
