Composite superplastic aerogel scaffolds containing dopamine and bioactive glass-based fibers for skin and bone tissue regeneration. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 673:411-425. [PMID: 38878375 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcis.2024.06.098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2024] [Revised: 06/10/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/26/2024]
Abstract
Multifunctional bioactive biomaterials with integrated bone and soft tissue regenerability hold great promise for the regeneration of trauma-affected skin and bone defects. The aim of this research was to fabricate aerogel scaffolds (GD-BF) by blending the appropriate proportions of short bioactive glass fiber (BGF), gelatin (Gel), and dopamine (DA). Electrospun polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)-BGF fibers were converted into short BGF through calcination and homogenization. Microporous GD-BF scaffolds displayed good elastic deformation recovery and promoted neo-tissue formation. The DA could enable thermal crosslinking and enhance the mechanical properties and structural stability of the GD-BF scaffolds. The BGF-mediated release of therapeutic ions shorten hemostatic time (<30 s) in a rat tail amputation model and a rabbit artery injury model alongside inducing the regeneration of skin appendages (e.g., blood vessels, glands, etc.) in a full-thickness excisional defect model in rats (percentage wound closure: GD-BF2, 98 % vs. control group, 83 %) at day 14 in vitro. Taken together, these aerogel scaffolds may have significant promise for soft and hard tissue repair, which may also be worthy for the other related disciplines.

Abstract
An ideal wound dressing should create a healing environment that relieves pain, protects against infections, maintains moisture, removes debris, and speeds up wound closure and repair. However, conventional options like gauze often fall short in fulfilling these requirements, especially for chronic or nonhealing wounds. Hence there is a critical need for inventive formulations that offer efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternatives. This study focuses on assessing the innovative formulation based on a microbial-derived copolymer known as poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), P(3HB-co-4HB) bioactive glass and graphene particles, and exploring their biological response in vitro and in vivo-to find the best combination that promotes cell adhesion and enhances wound healing. The formulation optimized at concentration of bioactive glass (1 w/w%) and graphene (0.01 w/w%) showed accelerated degradation and enhanced blood vessel formation. Meanwhile biocompatibility was evaluated using murine osteoblasts, human dermal fibroblasts, and standard cell culture assays, demonstrating no adverse effects after 7 days of culture and well-regulated inflammatory kinetics. Whole thickness skin defect using mice indicated the feasibility of the biocomposites for a faster wound closure and reduced inflammation. Overall, this biocomposite appears promising as an ideal wound dressing material and positively influencing wound healing rates.

Abstract
Periodontitis is an inflammation-related condition, caused by an infectious microbiome and host defense that causes damage to periodontium. The natural processes of the mouth, like saliva production and eating, significantly diminish therapeutic medication residency in the region of periodontal disease. Furthermore, the complexity and diversity of pathological mechanisms make successful periodontitis treatment challenging. As a result, developing enhanced local drug delivery technologies and logical therapy procedures provides the foundation for effective periodontitis treatment. Being biocompatible, biodegradable, and easily administered to the periodontal tissues, hydrogels have sparked substantial an intense curiosity in the discipline of periodontal therapy. The primary objective of hydrogel research has changed in recent years to intelligent thermosensitive hydrogels, that involve local adjustable sol-gel transformations and regulate medication release in reaction to temperature, we present a thorough introduction to the creation and efficient construction of new intelligent thermosensitive hydrogels for periodontal regeneration. We also address cutting-edge smart hydrogel treatment options based on periodontitis pathophysiology. Furthermore, the problems and prospective study objectives are reviewed, with a focus on establishing effective hydrogel delivery methods and prospective clinical applications.

Abstract
Developing artificial substitutes that mimic the structures and performances of natural cartilage is of great importance. However, it is challenging to integrate the high strength, excellent biocompatibility, low coefficient of friction, long-term wear resistance, outstanding swelling resistance, and osseointegration potential into one material. Herein, a sandwich hydrogel with cartilage-mimetic structures and performances was prepared to achieve this goal. The precursor hydrogel was obtained by freezing-thawing the mixture of poly vinyl alcohol, chitosan and deionized water three cycles, accompanied by soaking in sodium hyaluronate solution. The top of the precursor hydrogel was hydrophobically modified with lauroyl chloride and then loaded with lecithin, while the bottom was mineralized with hydroxyapatite. Due to the multiple linkages (crystalline domains, hydrogen bonds, and ionic interactions), the compressive stress was 71 MPa. Owing to the synergy of the hydrophobic modification and lecithin, the coefficient of friction was 0.01. Additionally, no wear trace was observed after 50,000 wear cycles. Remarkably, hydroxyapatite enabled the hydrogel osseointegration potential. The swelling ratio of the hydrogel was 0.06 g/g after soaking in simulated synovial fluid for 7 days. Since raw materials were non-toxic, the cell viability was 100 %. All of the above merits make it an ideal material for cartilage replacement.

Abstract
Lymphoma can effectively be treated with a chemotherapy regimen that is associated with adverse side effects due to increasing drug resistance, so there is an emergent need for alternative small-molecule inhibitors to overcome the resistance that occurs in lymphoma management and overall increase the prognosis rate. A new series of substituted naphthalimide moieties conjugated via ester and amide linkages with artesunate were designed, synthesized, and characterized. In addition to the conjugates, to further achieve a theranostic molecule, FITC was incorporated via a multistep synthesis process. DNA binding studies of these selected derivatives by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), fluorescence spectroscopy, intercalating dye (EtBr, acridine orange)-DNA competitive assay, and minor groove binding dye Hoechst 33342-DNA competitive assay suggested that the synthesized novel molecules intercalated between the two strands of DNA due to its naphthalimide moiety and its counterpart artesunate binds with the minor groove of DNA. Napthalimide-artesunate conjugates inhibit the growth of lymphoma and induce apoptosis, including ready incorporation and reduction in cell viability. The remodeled drug has a significant tumoricidal effect against solid DL tumors developed in BALB/c mice in a dose-dependent manner. The novel drug appears to inhibit metastasis and increase the survival of the treated animals compared with untreated littermates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioglasses are used in applications related to bone rehabilitation and repair. The mechanical and bioactive properties of polysaccharides like alginate and agarose can be modulated or improved using bioglass nanoparticles. Further essential metal ions used as crosslinker have the potential to supplement cultured cells for better growth and proliferation. METHOD In this study, the alginate bioink is modulated for fabrication of tissue engineering scaffolds by extrusion-based 3D bioprinting using agarose, bioglass nanoparticles and combination of essential trace elements such as iron, zinc, and copper. Homogeneous bioink was obtained by in situ mixing and bioprinting of its components with twin screw extruder (TSE) based 3D bioprinting, and then distribution of metal ions was induced through post-printing diffusion of metal ions in the printed scaffolds. The mechanical and 3d bioprinting properties, microscopic structure, biocompatibility of the crosslinked alginate/agarose hydrogels were analyzed for different concentrations of bioglass. The adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSC) and osteoblast cells (MC3T3) were used to evaluate this hydrogel's biological performances. RESULTS The porosity of hydrogels significantly improves with the incorporation of the bioglass. More bioglass concentration results in improved mechanical (compressive, dynamic, and cyclic) and 3D bioprinting properties. Cell growth and extracellular matrix are also enhanced with bioglass concentration. CONCLUSION For bioprinting of the bioinks, the advanced TSE head was attached to 3D bioprinter and in situ fabrication of cell encapsulated scaffold was obtained with optimized composition considering minimal effects on cell damage. Fabricated bioinks demonstrate a biocompatible and noncytotoxic scaffold for culturing MC3T3 and ADMSC, while bioglass controls the cellular behaviors such as cell growth and extracellular matrix formation.

Abstract
Bacterial-derived cellulose (BC) has been studied as a promising material for biomedical applications, including wound care, due to its biocompatibility, water-holding capacity, liquid/gas permeability, and handleability properties. Although BC has been studied as a dressing material for cutaneous wounds, to date, BC inherently lacks antibacterial properties. The current research utilizes bifunctional chimeric peptides containing carbohydrate binding peptides (CBP; either a short version or a long version) and an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), KR-12. The secondary structure of the chimeric peptides was evaluated and confirmed that the α-helix structure of KR-12 was retained for both chimeric peptides evaluated (Long-CBP-KR12 and Short-CBP-KR12). Chimeric peptides and their individual components were assessed for cytotoxicity, where only higher concentrations of Short-CBP and longer timepoints of Short-CBP-KR12 exposure exhibited negative effects on metabolic activity, which was attributed to solubility issues. All KR-12-containing peptides exhibited antibacterial activity in solution against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). The lipopolysaccharide (LPS) binding capability of the peptides was evaluated and the Short-CBP-KR12 peptide exhibited enhanced LPS-binding capabilities compared to KR-12 alone. Both chimeric peptides were able to bind to BC and were observed to be retained on the surface over a 7-day period. All functionalized materials exhibited no adverse effects on the metabolic activity of both normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs) and human epidermal keratinocyte (HaCaT) epithelial cells. Additionally, the BC tethered chimeric peptides exhibited antibacterial activity against E. coli. Overall, this research outlines the design and evaluation of chimeric CBP-KR12 peptides for developing antimicrobial BC membranes with potential applications in wound care.

Abstract
Polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) is an accelerated diabetic wound healing therapy with promising abilities to promote cell growth, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and reduce inflammation where its sustainable delivery and release behavior is critical to ensure effective wound healing properties. Therefore, a nanopolyplex was developed here, by encapsulating PDRN with chitosan to affirm its delivery systematically. The physicochemical characterization revealed its successful encapsulation which facilitates the gradual release of PDRN. In vitro studies of the polyplex demonstrated no cytotoxicity and enhanced cell proliferation and migration properties with high antimicrobial activities. In vivo, wound healing studies in Wistar rats dorsal skin defect model induced with diabetes mellitus affirm the highest wound healing activity and wound closure rate by chitosan/PDRN polyplex treatment. Considerably high histopathological changes such as epithelialization, collagen deposition, blood vessels, and hair follicle formation were observed under the polyplex treatment. The immunohistochemical analysis for platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (CD31) and cluster of differentiation (CD68) revealed the ability of polyplex to increase CD31 expression and decrease CD68 expression thereby promoting the wound healing process. Collectively, these results suggest that significantly accelerated, high-quality wound healing effects could be obtained by the developed chitosan/PDRN polyplex and thus it could be introduced as a potential therapeutic product for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine disease that occurs mostly in the state of hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose level). In the recent times, diabetes is listed under world's utmost critical health issues. Wound treatment procedures are complicated in diabetic individuals all over the world. Diabetic wound care not only involves high-cost, but also the primary cause of hospitalization, which can lead to amputation thereby reducing diabetic patient life expectancy. To lower the risk of amputation, wound healing requires the development of effective treatments. Traditional management systems for Diabetes are frequently chastised due to their high costs, difficulties in maintaining a sustainable supply chain and limited disposal alternatives. The worrisome rise in diabetes prevalence has sparked a surge of interest in the discovery of viable remedies to supplement existing treatments. Nanomaterials wound healing has a lot of potential for treating and preventing wound infections and it has recently gained popularity owing to its ability to transport drugs to the wound area in a regulated fashion, potentially overpowering the limits of traditional approaches. This research assessed several nanosystems, such as nanocarriers and nanotherapeutics, to explore how they can benefit in diabetic wound healing, with a focus on current obstacles and future prospects.

Biopolymer-Based Wound Dressings with Biochemical Cues for Cell-Instructive Wound Repair. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14245371. [PMID: 36559739 PMCID: PMC9783382 DOI: 10.3390/polym14245371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Regenerative medicine is an active research sphere that focuses on the repair, regeneration, and replacement of damaged tissues and organs. A plethora of innovative wound dressings and skin substitutes have been developed to treat cutaneous wounds and are aimed at reducing the length or need for a hospital stay. The inception of biomaterials with the ability to interact with cells and direct them toward desired lineages has brought about innovative designs in wound healing and tissue engineering. This cellular engagement is achieved by cell cues that can be biochemical or biophysical in nature. In effect, these cues seep into innate repair pathways, cause downstream cell behaviours and, ultimately, lead to advantageous healing. This review will focus on biomolecules with encoded biomimetic, instructive prompts that elicit desired cellular domino effects to achieve advanced wound repair. The wound healing dressings covered in this review are based on functionalized biopolymeric materials. While both biophysical and biochemical cues are vital for advanced wound healing applications, focus will be placed on biochemical cues and in vivo or clinical trial applications. The biochemical cues aforementioned will include peptide therapy, collagen matrices, cell-based therapy, decellularized matrices, platelet-rich plasma, and biometals.

Abstract
Designing hydrogels with adequate strength, remarkable swelling resistance, low friction coefficient, excellent biocompatibility, and osseointegration potential is essential for replacing articular cartilage. However, it remains challenging to integrate all these properties into one material. In this work, a Janus hydrogel was prepared from polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and sodium hyaluronate, followed by a one-sided dipping in situ precipitation mineralization to form a layer of hybridized hydroxyapatite (HAp), wherein the two surfaces had distinct compositions and functions. Because of the negative carboxyl groups from sodium hyaluronate, the top surface possessed a friction coefficient as low as 0.024. On account of the HAp mineralized layer, the bottom side had osteogenesis potential. Owing to the synergy of physical linkages, the hydrogel displayed compressive strength as high as 78 MPa. Furthermore, it demonstrated remarkable swelling resistance with strength retention near 100% even after soaking in PBS solution at 37 °C for 7 days. The absence of toxic chemicals maintained the merits of starting polymers and resulted in excellent biocompatibility (cell viability ≈ 100%), making it an ideal substitute for articular cartilage.

Abstract
Wound infection, especially chronic ones, not only increases the opportunity to generate superbacteria but also imposes significant burden, both physically and mentally, on the patients. Therefore, the development of suitable wound addressing is an important way to deal with this matter.
Here in this study, we employed the good gelling property of agarose (AR) and the wound healing promotion effect of hyaluronic acid (HA) to prepare an agarose-hyaluronic acid hydrogel. The AR-HA gel was loaded with silver ion (Ag+ from AgNO3) upon gelling (AR-HA/Ag) and
finally applied as a potential wound dressing for antibacterial treatment and healing promotion of wounds. Our results suggested that the AR-HA/Ag hydrogel maintained the antibacterial efficacy of Ag+ while significantly promoted the healing of human umbilical vein endothelial cells
(HUVEC) due to the cell proliferation promotion effect of HA. Taken together, AR-HA/Ag might be a potential antibacterial wound dressing for future application in clinic.

Li Y, Zhang X, He D, Ma Z, Xue K, Li H. 45S5 Bioglass® works synergistically with siRNA to downregulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in diabetic wounds. Acta Biomater 2022; 145:372-389. [PMID: 35421617 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Diabetic chronic wounds are difficult to heal because of the presence of excessive inflammation and high overexpression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), which greatly affects the quality of life of patients with diabetes and increases the risk of death. Thus, the regulation of excessive inflammation and inhibition of MMP-9 overexpression are effective strategies to improve diabetic wound healing. The present study is the first to demonstrate that ion products of 45S5 Bioglass® (BG) can work with small interfering RNA of MMP9 (MMP9-siRNA) to reduce MMP-9 expression in tissue-forming cells and enhance the synthesis of extracellular matrix proteins (ECMs). Specifically, the BG ionic products can stimulate macrophages to convert to M2 phenotype, thereby creating a proregenerative inflammation microenvironment to indirectly suppress the expression of MMP-9 in tissue-forming cells. Chitosan nanoparticles encapsulating MMP9-siRNA (MMP9-siNP) can directly lower MMP-9 expression in tissue-forming cells. In addition, BG ionic products can promote the vascularization of endothelial cells and ECM protein synthesis by fibroblasts. Thus, injectable BG/sodium alginate (BG/SA) hydrogels loaded with MMP9-siNP can significantly accelerate the healing process of full-thickness excision wounds of diabetic rats by decreasing MMP-9 expression, improving collagen synthesis, and enhancing angiogenesis in the wounds, thereby demonstrating their great application potential in treating diabetic chronic wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Excessive inflammation and high overexpression of MMP-9 have been considered as factors that severely hinder the healing process of diabetic chronic wounds. Effective strategies are required for the regulation of excessive inflammation and inhibition of MMP-9 overexpression to enhance diabetic wound healing. In the present work, an injectable bioglass/sodium alginate (BG/SA) hydrogel loaded with MMP9-siNP was developed; this hydrogel significantly accelerated the healing process of full-thickness excision wounds of diabetic rats by decreasing MMP-9 expression, improving collagen accumulation, and enhancing angiogenesis in the wounds. Thus, the BG/SA hydrogel loaded with MMP9-siNP has great potential for use in healing of diabetic chronic wounds.

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor-Capturing Aligned Electrospun Polycaprolactone/Gelatin Nanofibers Promote Patellar Ligament Regeneration. Acta Biomater 2022; 140:233-246. [PMID: 34852300 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.11.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 35] [Impact Index Per Article: 17.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2021] [Revised: 11/21/2021] [Accepted: 11/24/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
Ligament injuries are common in sports and other rigorous activities. It is a great challenge to achieve ligament regeneration after an injury due the avascular structure and low self-renewal capability. Herein, we developed vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-binding aligned electrospun poly(caprolactone)/gelatin (PCL/Gel) scaffolds by incorporating prominin-1-binding peptide (BP) sequence and exploited them for patellar ligament regeneration. The adsorption of BP onto scaffolds was discerned by various techniques, such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and confocal laser scanning microscope. The accumulation of VEGF onto scaffolds correlated with the concentration of the peptide in vitro. BP-anchored PCL/Gel scaffolds (BP@PCL/Gel) promoted the tubular formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and wound healing in vitro. Besides, BP containing scaffolds exhibited higher content of CD31+ cells than that of the control scaffolds at 1 week after implantation in vivo. Moreover, BP containing scaffolds improved biomechanical properties and facilitated the regeneration of matured collagen in patellar ligament 4 weeks after implantation in mice. Overall, this strategy of peptide-mediated orchestration of VEGF provides an enticing platform for the ligament regeneration, which may also have broad implications for tissue repair applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Ligament injuries are central to sports and other rigorous activities. Given to the avascular nature and poor self-healing capability of injured ligament tissues, it is a burgeoning challenge to fabricate tissue-engineered scaffolds for ligament reconstruction. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is pivotal to the neo-vessel formation. However, the high molecular weight of VEGF as well as its short half-life in vitro and in vivo limits its therapeutic potential. To circumvent these limitations, herein, we functionalized aligned electrospun polycaprolactone/gelatin (PCL/Gel)-based scaffolds with VEGF-binding peptide (BP) and assessed their biocompatibility and performance in vitro and in vivo. BP-modified scaffolds accumulated VEGF, improved tube formation of HUVECs, and induced wound healing in vitro, which may have broad implications for regenerative medicine and tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this work, the role of chitosan (CS) in improving the properties of bioactive glass (BG) paste for wound healing was studied. Based on in vitro evaluation, it was found that the addition of CS neutralizes the pH value from 11.0 to 7.5, which did not lead to decreasing the bioactivity of BG paste in vitro. The rheological properties showed that the composite paste had higher bio-adhesion and better affinity with the skin surface than either CS or the BG paste. The antibacterial property evaluation showed that the composite paste had stronger antibacterial activity than either CS or BG paste and promoted the proliferation of HUVECs (human umbilical vein endothelial cells) and HaCat (human immortalized keratinocyte cells). Comparatively, the effect of promoting the proliferation of HUVECs is more significant than that of HaCat. The burn-wound model of rat was developed for evaluating in vivo activity, and the addition of CS effectively promoted wound healing without obvious inflammation according to the IL-1β and IL-6 staining. This novel paste is expected to provide a promising alternative for wound healing.

Abstract
The development of biocompatible materials with desired functions is essential for tissue engineering and biomedical applications. Hydrogels prepared from these materials represent an important class of soft matter for mimicking extracellular environments. In particular, dynamic hydrogels with responsiveness to environments are quite appealing because they can match the dynamics of biological processes. Among the external stimuli that can trigger responsive hydrogels, light is considered as a clean stimulus with high spatiotemporal resolution, complete bioorthogonality, and fine tunability regarding its wavelength and intensity. Therefore, photoresponsiveness has been broadly encoded in hydrogels for biological applications. Moreover, light can be used to initiate gelation during the fabrication of biocompatible hydrogels. Here, we present a critical review of light manipulation tools for the fabrication of hydrogels and for the regulation of physicochemical properties and functions of photoresponsive hydrogels. The materials, photo-initiated chemical reactions, and new prospects for light-induced gelation are introduced in the former part, while mechanisms to render hydrogels photoresponsive and their biological applications are discussed in the latter part. Subsequently, the challenges and potential research directions in this area are discussed, followed by a brief conclusion. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hydrogels play a vital role in the field of biomaterials owing to their water retention ability and biocompatibility. However, static hydrogels cannot meet the dynamic requirements of the biomedical field. As a stimulus with high spatiotemporal resolution, light is an ideal tool for both the fabrication and operation of hydrogels. In this review, light-induced hydrogelation and photoresponsive hydrogels are discussed in detail, and new prospects and emerging biological applications are described. To inspire more research studies in this promising area, the challenges and possible solutions are also presented.

Abstract
Today, chronic wound care and management can be regarded as a clinically critical issue. However, the limitations of current approaches for wound healing have encouraged researchers and physicians to develop more efficient alternative approaches. Advances in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have resulted in the development of promising approaches that can accelerate wound healing and improve the skin regeneration rate and quality. The design and fabrication of scaffolds that can address the multifactorial nature of chronic wound occurrence and provide support for the healing process can be considered an important area requiring improvement. In this regard, polysaccharide-based scaffolds have distinctive properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, high water retention capacity and nontoxicity, making them ideal for wound healing applications. Their tunable structure and networked morphology could facilitate a number of functions, such as controlling their diffusion, maintaining wound moisture, absorbing a large amount of exudates and facilitating gas exchange. In this review, the wound healing process and the influential factors, structure and properties of carbohydrate polymers, physical and chemical crosslinking of polysaccharides, scaffold fabrication techniques, and the use of polysaccharide-based scaffolds in skin tissue engineering and wound healing applications are discussed.

Abstract
More and more studies have recognized that the nanosized pores of hydrogels are too small for cells to normally grow and newly formed tissue to infiltrate, which impedes tissue regeneration. Recently, hydrogels with macropores and/or controlled degradation attract more and more attention for solving this problem. Sodium alginate/Bioglass (SA/BG) hydrogel, which has been reported to be an injectable and bioactive hydrogel, is also limited to be used as tissue engineering scaffolds due to its nanosized pores. Therefore, in this study, degradation of SA/BG hydrogel was modulated by grafting deferoxamine (DFO) to SA. The functionalized grafted DFO-SA (G-DFO-SA) was used to form G-DFO-SA/BG injectable hydrogel. In vitro degradation experiments proved that, compared to SA/BG hydrogel, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel had a faster mass loss and structural disintegration. When the hydrogels were implanted subcutaneously, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel possessed a faster degradation and better tissue infiltration as compared to SA/BG hydrogel. In addition, in a rat full-thickness skin defect model, wound healing studies showed that, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel significantly accelerated wound healing process by inducing more blood vessels formation. Therefore, G-DFO-SA/BG hydrogel can promote tissue infiltration and stimulate angiogenesis formation, which suggesting a promising application potential in tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Wounds have always been the point of concern owing to the involvement of infections and the level of severity. Therefore, the management of wounds always requires additional effort for comprehensive healing and subsequent removal of the scar from the wound site. The role of biomaterials in the management of chronic wounds has been well established. One of such biomaterials is collagen (Col) that is considered to be the crucial component of most of the formulations being developed for wound healing. The role of Col extracted from marine invertebrates remains an unmarked origin of the proteinaceous constituent in the evolution of innovative pharmaceuticals. Col is a promising, immiscible, fibrous amino acid of indigenous origin that is ubiquitously present in extracellular matrices and connective tissues. There are different types of Col present in the body such as type I, II, III, IV, and V however the natural sources of Col are vegetables and marine animals. Its physical properties like high tensile strength, adherence nature, elasticity, and remodeling contribute significantly in the wound healing process. Col containing formulations such as hydrogels, sponges, creams, peptides, and composite nanofibers have been utilized widely in wound healing and tissue engineering purposes truly as the first line of defense. Here we present the recent advancements in Col based dosage forms for wound healing. The Col based market of topical preparations and the published reports identify Colas a useful biomaterial for the delivery of pharmaceuticals and a platform for tissue engineering.

However, a comprehensive review of the functional hydrogel as a wound dressing is still lacking. This work first summarizes the skin wound healing process and relates evaluation parameters and then reviews the advanced functions of hydrogel dressings such as antimicrobial property, adhesion and hemostasis, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation, substance delivery, self-healing, stimulus response, conductivity, and the recently emerged wound monitoring feature, and the strategies adopted to achieve these functions are all classified and discussed. Furthermore, applications of hydrogel wound dressing for the treatment of different types of wounds such as incisional wound and the excisional wound are summarized. Chronic wounds are also mentioned, and the focus of attention on infected wounds, burn wounds, and diabetic wounds is discussed. Finally, the future directions of hydrogel wound dressings for wound healing are further proposed.

Abstract
Alternative metals such as magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have been recently developed for clinical applications such as temporary implants for bone and tissue repair due to their desirable mechanical properties and ability to biodegrade harmlessly in vivo by releasing Mg2+, OH-, and H2 as biodegradation products. The current methods for monitoring in vivo Mg-alloy biodegradation are either invasive and/or costly, complex, or require large equipment and specially trained personnel, thus making real-time and point-of-care monitoring of Mg-alloy implants problematic. Therefore, innovative methods are critically needed. The objective of this research was to develop a novel, thin, and wearable visual H2 sensor prototype for noninvasive monitoring of in vivo Mg-implant biodegradation in medical research and clinical settings with a fast response time. In this work, we successfully demonstrate such a prototype composed of resazurin and catalytic bimetallic gold-palladium nanoparticles (Au-Pd NPs) incorporated into a thin agarose/alginate hydrogel matrix that rapidly changes color from blue to pink upon exposure to various levels of H2 at a constant flow rate. The irreversible redox reactions occurring in the sensor involve H2, in the presence of Au-Pd NPs, converting resazurin to resorufin. To quantify the sensor color changes, ImageJ software was used to analyze photographs of the sensor taken with a smartphone during H2 exposure. The sensor concentration range was from pure H2 down to limits of detection of 6 and 8 μM H2 (defined via two methods). This range is adequate for the intended application of noninvasively monitoring in vivo Mg-alloy implant biodegradation in animals for medical research and patients in clinical settings.

Abstract
The deep burn skin injures usually severely damage the dermis with the loss of hair follicle loss, which are difficult to regenerate. Furthermore, severe burns often accompanied with large amount of wound exudates making the wound moist, easily infected, and difficult to heal. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to develop wound dressings to remove wound exudates and promote hair follicle regeneration. In this study, a sandwich-structured wound dressing (SWD) with Janus membrane property was fabricated by hot compression molding using hydrophilic zinc silicate bioceramics (Hardystonite, ZnCS) and hydrophobic polylactic acid (PLA). This unique organic/inorganic Janus membrane structure revealed excellent exudate absorption property and effectively created a dry wound environment. Meanwhile, the incorporation of ZnCS bioceramic particles endowed the dressing with the bioactivity to promote hair follicle regeneration and wound healing through the release of Zn2+ and SiO3 2- ions, and this bioactivity of the wound dressing is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect of Zn2+ and SiO3 2- to promote the recruitment, viability, and differentiation of hair follicle cells. Our study demonstrates that the utilization of the Janus membrane and synergistic effect of different type bioactive ions are effective approaches for the design of wound dressings for burn wound healing.

Abstract
Advanced wound scaffolds that integrate active substances to treat chronic wounds have gained significant recent attention. While wound scaffolds and advanced functionalities have previously been incorporated into one medical device, the wirelessly triggered release of active substances has remained the focus of many research endeavors. To combine multiple functions including light-triggered activation, anti-septic, angiogenic, and moisturizing properties, we have developed a 3D printed hydrogel patch encapsulating vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) decorated with photoactive and antibacterial tetrapodal zinc oxide (t-ZnO) microparticles. To achieve the smart release of VEGF, t-ZnO was modified by chemical treatment and activated through UV/visible light exposure. This process would also make the surface rough and improve protein adhesion. The elastic modulus and degradation behavior of the composite hydrogels, which must match the wound healing process, were adjusted by changing t-ZnO concentrations. The t-ZnO-laden composite hydrogels can be printed with any desired micropattern to potentially create a modular elution of various growth factors. The VEGF decorated t-ZnO-laden hydrogel patches showed low cytotoxicity and improved angiogenic properties while maintaining antibacterial functions in vitro. In vivo tests showed promising results for the printed wound patches, with less immunogenicity and enhanced wound healing.

Abstract
Melanoma is a serious malignant skin tumor. Effectively eliminating melanoma and healing after-surgical wounds are always challenges in clinical studies. To address these problems, we propose manganese-doped calcium silicate nanowire-incorporated alginate hydrogels (named MCSA hydrogels) for in situ photothermal ablation of melanoma followed by the wound healing process. The proposed MCSA hydrogel had controllable gelation properties, reasonable strength, and excellent bioactivity due to the incorporated calcium silicate nanowires as the in situ cross-linking agents and bioactive components. The doping of manganese into calcium silicate nanowires gave them excellent photothermal effects for eradicating melanoma effectively under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. Moreover, the synergistic effect of manganese and silicon in the MCSA hydrogel effectively promotes migration and proliferation of vascular endothelial cells and promotes angiogenesis. Hence, such bifunctional bioactive hydrogels could achieve combined functions of photothermal therapy and wound healing, showing great promise for melanoma therapy and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Human amniotic epithelial cells (hAECs) exhibit a strong capability to restore ovarian function in chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian failure (POF). However, the therapeutic efficacy of hAECs is usually affected by the limited number and proliferative ability of grafted hAECs in target organs. The transplantation of stem cells encapsulated in sodium alginate-bioglass (SA-BG) composite hydrogel has recently been shown to be an effective strategy for tissue regeneration. The current study aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of hAECs or hAEC-derived conditioned medium (CM) encapsulated in SA-BG in mice with chemotherapy-induced POF. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with chemotherapy drugs to induce POF. hAECs or CM were harvested and encapsulated in SA-BG composite hydrogel, which were transplanted onto the injured ovaries of mice with POF. Follicle development, granulosa cell function, and ovarian angiogenesis were evaluated by morphological methods. To further elucidate the effect of SA-BG-encapsulated hAECs/CM on vascularization, the tube formation of human umbilical vein epithelial cells (hUVECs) was conducted in vitro. Cytokine array and ELISA were used to analyze and quantify the effects of bioactive components released by SA-BG on the secretion of angiogenic factors by hAECs. RESULTS The transplantation of SA-BG-encapsulated hAECs/CM restored follicle development, repaired granulosa cell function, and enhanced ovarian angiogenesis in POF mice. The further study showed that SA-BG significantly promoted the tube formation of hUVECs in vitro. Moreover, encapsulating hAECs could facilitate the effect of SA-BG on inducing the formation of the capillary tube in a paracrine manner. In addition, we found that SA-BG extracts significantly enhanced the viability of hAECs and stimulated the secretion of pro-angiogenic factors of hAECs. Notably, compared with SA-BG/CM, SA-BG/hAECs achieve better therapeutic effects, possibly because stimulation of BG enhanced the viability and paracrine capacity of hAECs. CONCLUSIONS The present study initially demonstrates that SA-BG-encapsulated hAECs or CM can exert a therapeutic effect on chemotherapy-induced POF mainly by protecting granulosa cell function and enhancing ovarian vascularization, which might provide a novel strategy for the delivery of hAECs for treating POF.

Abstract
Recently, hydrogel wound dressings were popular in wound healing because of their advantages over traditional gauze dressings. The alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan (SA/CMCS) hydrogel wound dressing has been widely studied because of its biocompatibility and antibacterial ability. However, the poor mechanical stability and lack of bioactivity limit their applications. Bioglass (BG) has been well acknowledged as a bioactive material, and SA/BG hydrogels have been reported to be able to promote wound healing. Calcium ions released from BG can further cross-link SA, which may enhance the mechanical stability of the SA/CMCS hydrogels. Therefore, in this study, BG was incorporated into SA/CMCS hydrogel in order to obtain a bioactive alginate/CMCS/BG (SA/CMCS/BG) hydrogel wound dressing with improved mechanical stability. Results showed that the Young's modulus of SA/CMCS/BG hydrogel was three times higher than that of SA/CMCS hydrogel. In addition to better antibacterial and coagulation properties, SA/CMCS/BG hydrogels possess stronger bioactivity than SA/CMCS hydrogels as they could accelerate skin wound closure by regulating the host inflammation responses, stimulating angiogenesis, and enhancing collagen deposition in wound sites, which suggests that SA/CMCS/BG hydrogels are good candidates for clinic wound dressings.

Abstract
Diabetic wound shows delayed and incomplete healing processes, which in turn exposes patients to an environment with a high risk of infection. This article has summarized current developments of nanoparticles/hydrogels and nanotechnology used for promoting the wound healing process in either diabetic animal models or patients with diabetes mellitus. These nanoparticles/hydrogels promote diabetic wound healing by loading bioactive molecules (such as growth factors, genes, proteins/peptides, stem cells/exosomes, etc.) and non-bioactive substances (metal ions, oxygen, nitric oxide, etc.). Among them, smart hydrogels (a very promising method for loading many types of bioactive components) are currently favored by researchers. In addition, nanoparticles/hydrogels can be combined with some technology (including PTT, LBL self-assembly technique and 3D-printing technology) to treat diabetic wound repair. By reviewing the recent literatures, we also proposed new strategies for improving multifunctional treatment of diabetic wounds in the future.

Abstract
Wound healing is a dynamic and well-orchestrated process that can be promoted by creating an optimal environment with wound dressing. An ideal wound dressing material should possess a suitable matrix, structure and bioactive components, functioning synergistically to accelerate wound healing. Wound dressings that allow reproducibility and customizability are highly desirable in clinical practice. In this study, using chitosan (CS) as the matrix and bioglass (BG) as the biological component, a spatially designed dressing scaffold was fabricated from a home-made cryogenic printing system. The micro- and macro-structures of the scaffold were highly controllable and reproducible. The printed scaffold exhibited interconnected and hierarchical pore structures, as well as good flexibility and water absorption capacity, and these properties were not affected by the content of BG. Nevertheless, when the content of BGs exceeded 20% that of CS, the tension strength and elongation rate reduced, but in vitro antibacterial, cell proliferation and migration performance were enhanced. In vivo examinations revealed that the composite scaffold significantly promoted wound healing process, with the group having 30% bioglass showing better wound closure, neovascularization and collagen deposition than other groups. These results indicate that the 3D printed CS/BG composite scaffold is a promising dressing material that accelerates wound healing.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes experience delayed wound healing because of the uncontrolled glucose level in their bloodstream, which leads to impaired function of white blood cells, poor circulation, decreased production and repair of new blood vessels. Treatment using polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN), which is a DNA extracted from the sperm cells of salmon, has been introduced to accelerate the healing process of diabetic wounds. To accelerate the wound-healing process, sustained delivery of PDRN is critical. In this study, taking advantage of the non-invasive gelation property of alginate, PDRN was loaded inside the hydrogel (Alg-PDRN). The release behavior of PDRN was altered by controlling the crosslinking density of the Alg hydrogel. The amount of PDRN was the greatest inside the hydrogel with the highest crosslinking density because of the decreased diffusion. However, there was an optimal degree of crosslinking for the effective release of PDRN. In vitro studies using human dermal fibroblasts and diabetes mellitus fibroblasts and an in ovo chorioallantoic membrane assay confirmed that the Alg-PDRN hydrogel effectively induced cell proliferation and expression of angiogenic growth factors and promoted new blood vessel formation. Its effectiveness for accelerated diabetic wound healing was also confirmed in an in-vivo animal experiment using a diabetic mouse model.

Abstract
The morbidity, mortality, and burden of burn victims and patients with severe diabetic wounds are still high, which leads to an extensively growing demand for novel treatments with high clinical efficacy. Biomaterial-based wound treatment approaches have progressed over time from simple cotton wool dressings to advanced skin substitutes containing cells and growth factors; however, no wound care approach is yet completely satisfying. Bioactive glasses are materials with potential in many areas that exhibit unique features in biomedical applications. Today, bioactive glasses are not only amorphous solid structures that can be used as a substitute in hard tissue but also are promising materials for soft tissue regeneration and wound healing applications. Biologically active elements such as Ag, B, Ca, Ce, Co, Cu, Ga, Mg, Se, Sr, and Zn can be incorporated in glass networks; hence, the superiority of these multifunctional materials over current materials results from their ability to release multiple therapeutic ions in the wound environment, which target different stages of the wound healing process. Bioactive glasses and their dissolution products have high potency for inducing angiogenesis and exerting several biological impacts on cell functions, which are involved in wound healing and some other features that are valuable in wound healing applications, namely hemostatic and antibacterial properties. In this review, we focus on skin structure, the dynamic process of wound healing in injured skin, and existing wound care approaches. The basic concepts of bioactive glasses are reviewed to better understand the relationship between glass structure and its properties. We illustrate the active role of bioactive glasses in wound repair and regeneration. Finally, research studies that have used bioactive glasses in wound healing applications are summarized and the future trends in this field are elaborated.

Abstract
Stem-cell therapy has been proved as a promising strategy for myocardial infarction (MI) treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy is mainly limited by the cellular activity of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, a novel bioglass (BG)/γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA)/chitosan (CS) hydrogel was obtained by in situ adding BG to stimulate the imine bond formation. And the effect of the composite hydrogel on MI therapeutic efficacy was evaluated in a rat acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model in vivo and the possible mechanism of the BG/γ-PGA/CS hydrogel for the stimulation of the intercellular interaction between MSCs and cardiomyocytes (CMs) was explored by a MSC and CM co-culture experiment in vitro. The implantation of the MSC loaded BG/γ-PGA/CS composite hydrogel in the mice AMI model showed a significant improvement in the therapeutic efficacy with improved cardiac function, attenuation of heart remodeling, reduced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and accelerated vascularization. The in vitro cell experiments demonstrated that the BG/γ-PGA/CS hydrogel activated the intercellular interaction between MSCs and CMs, which resulted in reduced cell apoptosis and enhanced angiogenesis. Silicate based bioactive hydrogels activated MSCs and cell-cell interactions in cardiac tissue after AMI and significantly enhanced the efficacy, which suggests that this bioactive hydrogel based approach is an effective way to enhance stem-cell therapy.

Abstract
Objectives To prepare the conductive MWCNT (multiwall carbon nanotube)-agarose scaffolds with multi-microchannel for neuron growth under electrical stimulation. Methods The scaffolds were produced by gradient freeze and lyophilization methods. The synthesized materials were characterized by SEM and near-infrared spectroscopy, and their microstructure, swelling-deswelling, conductivity, biocompatibility, and shape memory behavior were measured. A three-dimensional culture model by implanting cells into scaffolds was built, and the behaviors of RSC96 cells on scaffolds under electrical stimulation were evaluated. Results The addition of MWCNT did not affect the pore composition ratio and shape memory of agarose scaffolds, but 0.025% wt MWCNT in scaffolds improved the swelling ratio and water retention at the swelling equilibrium state. Though MWCNTs in high concentration had slight effect on proliferation of RSC96 cells and PC12 cells, there was no difference that the expressions of neurofilament of RSC96 cells on scaffolds with MWCNTs of different concentration. RSC96 cells arranged better along the longitudinal axis of scaffolds and showed better adhesion on both 0.025% MWCNT-agarose scaffolds and 0.05% MWCNT-agarose scaffolds compared to other scaffolds. Conclusions Agarose scaffolds with MWCNTs possessed promising applicable prospect in peripheral nerve defects.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic trauma repair is an important issue affecting people's healthy lives. Thermo-sensitive hydrogel is injectable in situ and can be used to treat large-area wounds. In addition, antioxidants play important roles in promoting wound repair. METHODS The purpose of this research was to prepare a novel thermo-sensitive hydrogel-poly(N-isopropyl-acrylamide)/poly(γ-glutamic acid) (PP) loaded with superoxide dismutase (SOD) to improve the effect for trauma treatment. The micromorphology of the hydrogel was observed by scanning electron microscope and the physical properties were measured. The biocompatibility of hydrogel was evaluated by MTT experiment, and the effect of hydrogel on skin wound healing was evaluated by in vivo histological staining. RESULTS Gelling behavior and differential scanning calorimeter outcomes showed that the PP hydrogels possessed thermo-sensitivity at physiological temperature and the phase transformation temperature was 28.2°C. The high swelling rate and good water retention were conducive to wound healing. The activity of SOD in vitro was up to 85% at 10 h, which was advantageous to eliminate the superoxide anion. MTT assay revealed that this hydrogel possessed good biocompatibility. Dressings of PP loaded with SOD (SOD-PP) had a higher wound closure rate than other treatments in vivo in diabetic rat model. DISCUSSION The SOD-PP thermo-sensitive hydrogels can effectively promote wound healing and have good application prospects for wound repair.

Abstract
Alginate biopolymer has been used in the design and development of several wound dressing materials in order to improve the efficiency of wound healing. Mainly, alginate improves the hydrophilic nature of wound dressing materials in order to create the required moist wound environment, remove wound exudate and increase the speed of skin recovery of the wound. In addition, alginate can easily cross-link with other organic and inorganic materials and they can promote wound healing in clinical applications. This review article addresses the importance of alginates and the roles of derivative polymeric materials in wound dressing biomaterials. Additionally, studies on recent alginate-based wound dressing materials are discussed.
