Abstract
Hydrogels with cell adhesive moieties stand out as promising materials to enhance tissue healing and regeneration. Nonetheless, bacterial infections of the implants represent an unmet major concern. In the present work, we developed an alginate hydrogel modified with a multifunctional peptide containing the RGD cell adhesive motif in combination with an antibacterial peptide derived from the 1-11 region of lactoferrin (LF). The RGD-LF branched peptide was successfully anchored to the alginate backbone by carbodiimide chemistry, as demonstrated by 1H NMR and fluorescence measurements. The functionalized hydrogel presented desirable physicochemical properties (porosity, swelling and rheological behavior) to develop biomaterials for tissue engineering. The viability of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the peptide-functionalized hydrogels was excellent, with values higher than 85 % at day 1, and higher than 95 % after 14 days in culture. Moreover, the biological characterization demonstrated the ability of the hydrogels to significantly enhance ALP activity of MSCs as well as to decrease bacterial colonization of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative models. Such results prove the potential of the functionalized hydrogels as novel biomaterials for tissue engineering, simultaneously displaying cell adhesive activity and the capacity to prevent bacterial contamination, a dual bioactivity commonly not found for these types of hydrogels.

Abstract
Endogenous stem cell homing refers to the transport of endogenous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to damaged tissue. The paradigm of using well-designed biomaterials to induce resident stem cells to home in to the injured site while coordinating their behavior and function to promote tissue regeneration is known as endogenous regenerative medicine (ERM). ERM is a promising new avenue in regenerative therapy research, and it involves the mobilizing of endogenous stem cells for homing as the principal means through which to achieve it. Comprehending how mesenchymal stem cells home in and grasp the influencing factors of mesenchymal stem cell homing is essential for the understanding and design of tissue engineering. This review summarizes the process of MSC homing, the factors influencing the homing process, analyses endogenous stem cell homing studies of interest in the field of skin tissue repair, explores the integration of endogenous homing promotion strategies with cellular therapies and details tissue engineering strategies that can be used to modulate endogenous homing of stem cells. In addition to providing more systematic theories and ideas for improved materials for endogenous tissue repair, this review provides new perspectives to explore the complex process of tissue remodeling to enhance the rational design of biomaterial scaffolds and guide tissue regeneration strategies.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2309599. [PMID: 38054634 DOI: 10.1002/smll.202309599] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023]
Abstract
Injectable hydrogels find extensive application in the treatment of diabetic wound healing. However, traditional bulk hydrogels are significantly limited due to their nano-porous structure, which obstructs cell migration and tissue infiltration. Moreover, regulating inflammation and matrix metalloproteinase -9 (MMP-9) expression in diabetic wounds is crucial for enhancing wound healing. This study marks the first instance of introducing an efficient, scalable, and simple method for producing microfiber-gel granules encapsulating bioceramics powders. Utilizing this method, an injectable microporous granular microgel-fiber hydrogel (MFgel) is successfully developed by assembling microgel-fibers made from hyaluronic acid (HA) and sodium alginate (SA) loaded with small interfering RNA (siRNA) and bioglass (BG) particles. Compared to traditional hydrogels (Tgel), MFgel possesses a highly interconnected network with micron-sized pores, demonstrating favorable properties for cell adhesion and penetration in in vitro experiments. Additionally, MFgel exhibits a higher compressive modulus and superior mechanical stability. When implanted subcutaneously in mice, MFgel promotes cellular and tissue infiltration, facilitating cell proliferation. Furthermore, when applied to skin defects in diabetic rats, MFgel not only effectively regulates inflammation and suppresses MMP-9 expression but also enhances angiogenesis and collagen deposition, thereby significantly accelerating diabetic wound healing. Taken together, this hydrogel possesses great potential in diabetic wound healing applications.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 12:1375784. [PMID: 38699431 PMCID: PMC11063293 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2024.1375784] [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: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Precise healing of wounds in the oral and maxillofacial regions is usually achieved by targeting the entire healing process. The rich blood circulation in the oral and maxillofacial regions promotes the rapid healing of wounds through the action of various growth factors. Correspondingly, their tissue engineering can aid in preventing wound infections, accelerate angiogenesis, and enhance the proliferation and migration of tissue cells during wound healing. Recent years, have witnessed an increase in the number of researchers focusing on tissue engineering, particularly for precise wound healing. In this context, hydrogels, which possess a soft viscoelastic nature and demonstrate exceptional biocompatibility and biodegradability, have emerged as the current research hotspot. Additionally, nanofibers, films, and foam sponges have been explored as some of the most viable materials for wound healing, with noted advantages and drawbacks. Accordingly, future research is highly likely to explore the application of these materials harboring enhanced mechanical properties, reduced susceptibility to external mechanical disturbances, and commendable water absorption and non-expansion attributes, for superior wound healing.

Abstract
A wound dressing material should inhibit infections that may occur at the wound site, and at the same time, it should enhance the healing process. In this study, we developed an amikacin sulphate (AK) incorporated chitosan (Ch) and Diopside nanoparticles composite dressing (Ch-nDE-AK) for controlling wound infection and healing. The diopside nanoparticles (nDE) were prepared using sol-gel synthesis and characterized using XRD, FT-IR, and FESEM. nDE shows a size range of 142 ± 31 nm through FESEM analysis. Later, the developed composite dressing was characterized using SEM, EDS, and FT-IR analysis. Ch-nDE-AK dressing possesses a porous nature that will aid in easy cell infiltration and proliferation. The swelling studies indicated the expansion capability of the scaffold when applied to the injured site. Ch-nDE-AK scaffold showed a 69.6 ± 8.2 % amikacin sulphate release up to 7 days, which indicates the sustained release of the drug from Ch-nDE-AK scaffold. The drug release data was subjected to various kinetics models and was observed to follow the Higuchi model. The scaffold showed antibacterial activity against ATCC strains of S. aureus and E. coli for 7 days by in vitro. Ch-nDE-AK scaffold also showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli clinical strains in vitro. The ex vivo antibacterial study confirmed the antibacterial ability of Ch-nDE-AK scaffold against S. aureus and E. coli. Ch-nDE-AK scaffold also exhibits anti-biofilm activity against S. aureus and E. coli. The Ch-nDE-AK scaffold showed cytocompatibility and cell attachment to fibroblast cells. Additionally, the scratch assay using fibroblast cells confirmed the role of the nDE in the scaffold, helping in cell migration. Thus, the developed Ch-nDE-AK dressing can potentially be used to treat infectious wound healing.

Regen Biomater 2024; 11:rbae028.

Abstract
Peri-implant lesion is a grave condition afflicting numerous indi-viduals with dental implants. It results from persistent periodontal bacteria accumulation causing inflammation around the implant site, which can primarily lead to implant loosening and ultimately the implant loss. Early-stage peri-implant lesions exhibit symptoms akin to gum disease, including swelling, redness and bleeding of the gums surrounding the implant. These signs indicate infection and inflammation of the peri-implant tissues, which may result in bone loss and implant failure. To address this problem, a thermionic strategy was applied by designing a cuprorivaite-hardystonite bioceramic/alginate composite hydrogel with photothermal and Cu/Zn/Si multiple ions releasing property. This innovative approach creates a thermionic effect by the release of bioactive ions (Cu2+ and Zn2+ and SiO 3 2 - ) from the composite hydrogel and the mild heat environment though the photothermal effect of the composite hydrogel induced by near-infrared light irradiation. The most distinctive advantage of this thermionic effect is to substantially eliminate periodontal pathogenic bacteria and inhibit inflammation, while simultaneously enhance peri-implant osseointegration. This unique attribute renders the use of this composite hydrogel highly effective in significantly improving the survival rate of implants after intervention in peri-implant lesions, which is a clinical challenge in periodontics. This study reveals application potential of a new biomaterial-based approach for peri-implant lesion, as it not only eliminates the infection and inflammation, but also enhances the osteointegration of the dental implant, which provides theoretical insights and practical guidance to prevent and manage early-stage peri-implant lesion using bioactive functional materials.

Abstract
Stem cell senescence is characterized by progressive functional dysfunction and secretory phenotypic changes including decreased proliferation, dysfunction of osteogenic and angiogenic differentiation, increased secretion of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which bring difficulties for bone repair. Rescuing or delaying senescence of aged bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (O-BMSCs) was considered as effective strategy for bone regeneration in aging microenvironment. Magnesium (Mg) ion released from bioceramics was reported to facilitate bone regeneration via enhancing osteogenesis and alleviating senescence. In this study, Akermanite biocreamics (Akt) containing Mg ion as a model was demonstrated to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis effects of O-BMSCs by activating the MAPK signaling pathway in vitro. Moreover, the enhanced osteogenesis effects might be attributed to enhanced Mg-containing Akt-mediated exosomal miR-196a-5p cargo targeting Hoxa7 and activation of MAPK signaling pathway. Furthermore, the in vivo study confirmed that 3D-printed porous Mg-containing Akt scaffolds effectively increased bone regeneration in cranial defects of aged rats. The current results indicated that the exosomal-miR-196a-5p/Hoxa7/MAPK signaling axis might be the potential mechanism underlying Akt-mediated osteogenesis. The exosome-meditaed therapy stimulated by the released Mg ion contained in Akt biocreamics or other biomaterials might serve as a candidate strategy for bone repair in aged individuals.

Abstract
Chronic nonhealing diabetic wounds are a serious complication of diabetes, with a high morbidity rate that can cause disability or death. The long period of inflammation and dysfunctional angiogenesis are the main reasons for wound-healing difficulty in diabetes. In this study, a multifunctional double-layer microneedle (DMN) is constructed to control infection and promote angiogenesis, meeting the multiple demands of the healing process of a diabetic wound. The double-layer microneedle is consisted in a hyaluronic acid substrate and a mixture of carboxymethyl chitosan and gelatin as the tip. The antibacterial drug tetracycline hydrochloride (TH) is loaded into the substrate of the microneedle to achieve rapid sterilization and promote resistance to external bacterial infections. The microneedle tip loaded with recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rh-EGF) is inserted into the skin, in response to gelatinase produced by resident microbe and disassociate to achieve the enzymatic response release. The double-layer drug-loaded microneedles (DMN@TH/rh-EGF) have antibacterial and antioxidant effects, and promote cell migration and angiogenesis in vitro. In an in vivo diabetic wound model, using rats, the DMN@TH/rh-EGF patch is able to inhibit inflammation, promote angiogenesis, collagen deposition, and tissue regeneration during the wound healing process, promoting its healing.

Abstract
Bone is a highly vascularized tissue, and the ability of magnesium (Mg) to promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis has been widely studied. The aim of bone tissue engineering is to repair bone tissue defects and restore its normal function. Various Mg-enriched materials that can promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis have been made. Here, we introduce several types of orthopedic clinical uses of Mg; recent advances in the study of metal materials releasing Mg ions (pure Mg, Mg alloy, coated Mg, Mg-rich composite, ceramic, and hydrogel) are reviewed. Most studies suggest that Mg can enhance vascularized osteogenesis in bone defect areas. Additionally, we summarized some research on the mechanisms related to vascularized osteogenesis. In addition, the experimental strategies for the research of Mg-enriched materials in the future are put forward, in which clarifying the specific mechanism of promoting angiogenesis is the crux.

Abstract
Versatility of the anionic algal polysaccharide carrageenan has long been discussed and explored, especially for their affinity towards water molecules. While this feature is advantageous in certain applications such as water remediation, wound healing, etc., the usefulness of this biopolymer is extremely limited when it comes to applications such as food packaging. Scientists around the globe are carrying out research works on venturing diverse methods to integrate a hydrophobic nature into these polysaccharides without compromising their other functionalities. Considering these foregoing studies, this review was designed to have an in-depth understanding of diverse methods and techniques adopted for tuning the hydrophobic nature of carrageenan-based bionanocomposites, both via surface alterations or by changes made to their chemical structure and attached functional groups. This review article mainly focused on how the hydrophobicity of carrageenan bionanocomposites varied as a function of the type and refinement of carrageenan, and with the incorporation of additives including plasticisers, nanofillers, bioactive agents, etc. Incorporation of nanofillers such as polysaccharide-based nanoparticles, nanoclays, bioceramic and mineral based nanoparticles, carbon dots and nanotubes, metal oxide nanoparticles, etc., along with their synergistic effects in hybrid bionanocomposites are also dealt with in this comprehensive review article.

Abstract
Effective wound management imposes several challenges in clinical outcomes due to the complexity of the wound microenvironment, bacterial infections, impaired angiogenesis, aggravated inflammation, and enduring pain. In addition, adhesion on wet biological tissue is another extremely challenging task. Addressing all the issues is necessary for an effective wound healing process. Herein, we developed a unique multifunctional, adhesive composite hydrogel composed of gelatin, chitosan, polydopamine-coated bioactive glass (BG), and curcumin-capped silver nanoparticles (Cur-AgNPs) to target the multifaceted complexity of the wound. The PDA-coated BG serves multiple purposes: (1) adhesivity: catechol groups of PDA and Ca ion released from BG chelate the group present in the hydrogel network and surrounding tissues, (2) angiogenesis: promotes vascularization due to the release of Si from BG, and (3) BG also serves as the "reservoir" for the pain-relieving diclofenac sodium drug with a sustained-release behavior. Cur-AgNPs provide excellent bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties to the composite hydrogel. In situ application of the composite hydrogel could serve the purpose of a "skin biomimetic" and work as a barrier along with bactericidal properties to inhibit the microbial growth. The multifunctional composite hydrogel (MCH) targeted multiple aspects of wound repair including pain alleviation, elimination of microbes (up to 99%), reduced inflammation, high adhesivity, and increased angiogenesis for effective skin regeneration. The MCH showed excellent wound healing potential as significant wound closure was observed at day 7 and also significantly upregulated the expression of crucial genes involved in the skin regeneration process along with increasing vascularization in the wound area.

Abstract
Developing an ideal wound dressing that not only accelerates wound healing but also eliminates potential bacterial infections remains a difficult balancing act. This work reports the design of a light-programmable sodium alginate nanocomposite hydrogel loaded with BiOCl/polypyrrole (BOC/PPy) nanosheets for state-switchable wound healing promotion and bacterial infection elimination remotely. The nanocomposite hydrogel possesses programmable photoelectric or photothermal conversion due to the expanded light absorption range, optimized electron transmission interface, promoted photo-generated charge separation, and transfer of the BOC/PPy nanosheets. Under white light irradiation state, the nanocomposite hydrogel induces human umbilical vein endothelial cells migration and angiogenesis, and accelerates the healing efficiency of mouse skin in vivo. Under near-infrared light irradiation state, the nanocomposite hydrogel presents superior antibacterial capability in vitro, and reaches an antibacterial rate of 99.1% for Staphylococcus aureus infected skin wound in vivo. This light-programmable nanocomposite hydrogel provides an on-demand resolution of biological state-switching to balance wound healing and elimination of bacterial infection.

Abstract
In this research, bioactive glass particles prepared by the reactive flash nanoprecipitation method (RFNP-BG particles) are used to crosslink sodium alginate to prepare biological sponges (SA-BG sponges) by freeze-drying. An experiment for the cross-linking mechanism confirms that the continuous release of Ca2+ from RFNP-BG is promoted by the crosslinking reaction and in turn leads to the gelation process of SA. Bioactive glass particles not only provide Ca2+ for the crosslinking of sodium alginate, but also enhance the mechanical properties of the SA-BG sponges. The results show that the elastic modulus of the SA-BG sponges increases from 0.026 MPa to 0.641 MPa, and the resistance to external force deformation is greatly improved; the thermal decomposition temperature increases from 105°C to 166°C; compared with a pure SA sponge, the water resistance is significantly improved. In vitro cell experiments show that the SA-BG sponges have a certain adverse effect on cell proliferation, but it is in an acceptable range. qPCR results show that the SA-BG sponges have a certain beneficial effect on promoting osteogenic gene expression. The SA-BG sponges have great application potential in the fields of medicine, hemostasis, and wound closure.

Abstract
Injectability and self-setting properties are important factors to increase the efficiency of bone regeneration and reconstruction, thereby reducing the invasiveness of hard tissue engineering procedures. In this study, 63S bioactive glass (BG), nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp), alumina, titanium dioxide, and methylene bis-acrylamide (MBAM)-mediated polymeric crosslinking composites were prepared for the formulation of an efficient self-setting bone cement. According to the cytocompatibility and physicochemical analyses, all the samples qualified the standard of the bio-composite materials. They revealed high thermal stability, injectability, and self-setting ability supported by ~ 10.73% (maximum) mass loss, ~ 92-93% injectability and 24 ± 5 min of initial setting time. Moreover, a cellular adhesion and proliferation study was additionally performed with osteoblasts like MG-63 cells, which facilitate pseudopod-like cellular extensions on the BG/n-HAp composite scaffold surface. The SAM study was employed to non-invasively assess the self-setting properties of the composite bio-cement using the post injected distribution and physical properties of the phantom. These results validate the significant potential characteristics of the BG/n-HAp self-setting bio-cement (16:4:2:1) for promising minimal-invasive bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are one of the most frequent complications that are associated with diabetes mellitus. The overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a key factor in the delayed healing of a chronic wound. In the present work, we develop a novel in situ-forming silk sericin-based hydrogel (SSH) that is produced by a simple methodology using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) crosslinking as an advanced dressing for wound healing. The antioxidant and angiogenic effects were assessed in vitro and in vivo after in situ application using an excisional wound-healing model in a genetically-induced diabetic db/db mice and though the chick embryo choriollantoic membrane (CAM) assay, respectively. Wounds in diabetic db/db mice that were treated with SSH closed with reduced granulation tissue, decreased wound edge distance, and wound thickness, when compared to Tegaderm, a dressing that is commonly used in the clinic. The hydrogel also promoted a deposition of collagen fibers with smaller diameter which may have had a boost effect in re-epithelialization. SSH treatment slightly induced two important endogenous antioxidant defenses, superoxide dismutase and catalase. A CAM assay made it possible to observe that SSH led to an increase in the number of newly formed vessels without inducing an inflammatory reaction. The present hydrogel may result in a multi-purpose technology with angiogenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, while advancing efficient and organized tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The development of multifunctional wound dressings has always been considered as a promising strategy to promote blood coagulation, inhibit bacterial infection, and accelerate wound healing. Herein, an antibacterial and hemostatic dressing (SA-PHMG) was developed based on sodium alginate (SA) nonwoven and polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (PHMG) through a completely green industrial route, including dipping, padding, and drying. According to studies, SA-PHMG dressings exhibited excellent liquid absorption capacity and water vapor permeability. Moreover, bactericidal assays have demonstrated that SA-PHMG dressings have ideal antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and mixed bacteria, maintaining potent antibacterial activity even after 10 cycles of antibacterial trials or 50 times of washing or soaping. The in vitro evaluation of the hemostatic effect indicated that the SA-PHMG could significantly promote blood clotting by activating platelets, and in vitro and in vivo hemolysis, cytotoxicity and skin irritation studies demonstrated the ideal biocompatibility of the dressings. In addition, better wound closure and tissue regeneration were recorded using SA-PHMG nonwoven as the dressing based on an infected full-thickness wound model. In conclusion, this antibacterial, hemostatic, biocompatible, and environmentally friendly SA-PHMG nonwoven exhibit the potential for infected wound healing.

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.

Abstract
Recently, biofunctional ions (Mg2+, Si4+, etc.) and graphene derivatives are proved to be promising in stimulating bone formation. In this study, a novel inorganic/organic composite porous scaffold based on silk fibroin (SF), graphene oxide (GO), and calcium magnesium silicate (CMS) was developed for bone repair. The porous scaffolds obtained by lyophilization showed a little difference in pore structure while GO and CMS displayed a good interaction with SF matrix. The addition of CMS with good mineralization potential and sustainedly release ability of biofunctional ions (Ca2+, Mg2+ and Si4+) increased the strength of SF scaffolds a little and facilitated the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by upregulating bone formation-related genes (ALP, COL1, OC and Runx2). The further incorporation of GO in SF scaffolds enhanced the compressive strength and water retention, and also remarkably promoted the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Besides, the angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells was significantly promoted by CMS/GO/SF scaffold extract through the upregulation of angiogenesis genes (eNOs and bFGF). Moreover, the osteoclastic formation ability of RAW264.7 cells was suppressed by the released ions from CMS/GO/SF scaffold through the down-regulation of CAK, MMP9 and TRAP. The promoted osteogenesis, angiogenesis and inhibited osteoclastogenesis functions of CMS/GO/SF composite scaffold may enable it as a novel therapy for bone repair and regeneration.

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
In vitro models have been used as a complementary tool to animal studies in understanding the nervous system's physiological mechanisms and pathological disorders, while also serving as platforms to evaluate the safety and efficiency of therapeutic candidates. Following recent advances in materials science, micro- and nanofabrication techniques and cell culture systems, in vitro technologies have been rapidly gaining the potential to bridge the gap between animal and clinical studies by providing more sophisticated models that recapitulate key aspects of the structure, biochemistry, biomechanics, and functions of human tissues. This was made possible, in large part, by the development of biomaterials that provide cells with physicochemical features that closely mimic the cellular microenvironment of native tissues. Due to the well-known material-driven cellular response and the importance of mimicking the environment of the target tissue, the selection of optimal biomaterials represents an important early step in the design of biomimetic systems to investigate brain structures and functions. This review provides a comprehensive compendium of commonly used biomaterials as well as the different fabrication techniques employed for the design of neural tissue models. Furthermore, the authors discuss the main parameters that need to be considered to develop functional platforms not only for the study of brain physiological functions and pathological processes but also for drug discovery/development and the optimization of biomaterials for neural tissue engineering.

Abstract
Large skin wounds pose a major clinical challenge. Scarcity of donor site and postsurgical scarring contribute to the incomplete or partial loss of function and aesthetic concerns in skin wound patients. Currently, a wide variety of skin grafts are being applied in clinical settings. Scaffolds are used to overcome the issues related to the misaligned architecture of the repaired skin tissues. The current review summarizes the contribution of biomaterials to wound healing and skin regeneration and addresses the existing limitations in skin grafting. Then, the clinically approved biologic and synthetic skin substitutes are extensively reviewed. Next, the techniques for modification of skin grafts aiming for enhanced tissue regeneration are outlined, and a summary of different growth factor delivery systems using biomaterials is presented. Considering the significant progress in biomaterial science and manufacturing technologies, the idea of biomaterial-based skin grafts with the ability for scarless wound healing and reconstructing full skin organ is more achievable than ever.

Abstract
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic and progressively fatal disease, but clinically available therapeutic drugs are limited due to efficacy and side effects. The possible mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis includes the damage of alveolar epithelial cells II (AEC2), and activation of immune cells such as macrophages. The ions released from bioceramics have shown the activity in stimulating soft tissue derived cells such as fibroblasts, endothelia cells and epithelia cells, and regulating macrophage polarization. Therefore, this study proposes an "ion therapy" approach based on the active ions of bioceramic materials, and investigates the therapeutic effect of bioactive ions derived from calcium silicate (CS) bioceramics on mouse models of pulmonary fibrosis. We demonstrate that silicate ions significantly reduce pulmonary fibrosis by simultaneously regulating the functions of AEC2 and macrophages. This result suggests potential clinical applications of ion therapy for lung fibrosis.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives have received much attention for their effectiveness in sealing wounds or incisions in clinical surgery, especially in minimally invasive surgery. To meet the safe and smart wound management requirements, ideal tissue adhesives are expected to have high biocompatibility, and be able to accelerate wound closing and healing, and monitor wound healing process. However, few adhesives fit all of the above descriptions. It has been demonstrated that inorganic nanoparticles can directly glue biological tissue based on nano-bridging effect. In this study, self-luminescence porous silicon (LPSi) particles were prepared with degradable and biocompatible properties. In addition, the self-luminescence property of LPSi particles was discovered by In Vivo Imaging System (IVIS) for the first time, which can avoid the limitations of photoluminescence imaging. Due to the oxidation and degradation reaction, LPSi particles not only can be degraded completely in several days, but also showed satisfactory biocompatibility. And their degradation product could promote tube formation of HUVECs. Moreover, owing to the high specific surface area and the outer oxide layer of LPSi particles, LPSi tissue adhesive exhibited strong adhesive strength to pig livers. Furthermore, this adhesive closed wound rapidly, promoted angiogenesis and epidermal regeneration, and facilitated wound healing in a mouse skin incision model. Importantly, the wound healing ratio can be monitored by measuring the self-luminescence intensity of LPSi particles in the wound site. This study reveals that LPSi particles could be employed as a safe and smart wound management tissue adhesive for wound closure, as well as accelerating and monitoring wound healing.

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
The Tibetan eighteen flavor dangshen pills (TEP) are composed of 18 traditional Tibetan medicines, which are commonly used in the treatment of skin diseases in the Tibetan medical system. They have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, and healing properties. However, TEP contain large doses and have strong side effects and low bioavailability. To improve the utilization rate of TEP in skin treatment, we prepared TEP powder and then introduced it into polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) hydrogels to treat diabetic wounds by slowly releasing the active ingredients of TEP. In vitro studies showed that TEP-loaded hydrogels can effectively and continuously release the active ingredients of TEP and have antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In addition, the hydrogel system was not cytotoxic to L929 cells, and significantly promoted the proliferation of HUVECs. Moreover, when the TEP-loaded hydrogel was applied to diabetic wounds in rats, it reduced the inflammatory response and improved collagen deposition, which in turn promoted skin healing. Our results indicate that TEP-loaded hydrogels may be a new formulation for the application of traditional Tibetan medicines for the treatment of chronic wounds.

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
Alginate is a natural polysaccharide that is easily chemically modified or compounded with other components for various types of functionalities. The alginate derivatives are appealing not only because they are biocompatible so that they can be used in biomedicine or tissue engineering but also because of the prospering bioelectronics that require various biomaterials to interface between human tissues and electronics or to serve as electronic components themselves. The study of alginate-based materials, especially hydrogels, have repeatedly found new frontiers over recent years. In this Review, we document the basic properties of alginate, their chemical modification strategies, and the recent development of alginate-based functional composite materials. The newly thrived functions such as ionically conductive hydrogel or 3D or 4D cell culturing matrix are emphasized among other appealing potential applications. We expect that the documentation of relevant information will stimulate scientific efforts to further develop biocompatible electronics or smart materials and to help the research domain better address the medicine, energy, and environmental challenges faced by human societies.

Stem Cell Res Ther 2021; 12:223. [PMID: 33794993 PMCID: PMC8015041 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-021-02280-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2021] [Accepted: 03/10/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
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
Bioceramics have been developed from bioinert to bioactive or biodegradable materials in the past few decades. However, at present, traditional bioceramics are still mainly used in bone tissue regeneration and dental restoration. In this work, a new generation of "black bioceramics," extending the applications from tissue regeneration to disease therapy, is presented. Black bioceramics, through magnesium thermal reduction of traditional white ceramics, including silicate-based (e.g., CaSiO3 , MgSiO3 ) and phosphate-based (e.g., Ca3 (PO4 )2 , Ca5 (PO4 )3 (OH)), are successfully synthesized. Due to the presence of oxygen vacancies and structural defects, the black bioceramics possess photothermal functionality while maintaining their initial high bioactivity and regenerative capacity. These black bioceramics show excellent photothermal antitumor effects for both skin and bone tumors. At the same time, they have significantly improved bioactivity for skin/bone tissue repair in vitro and in vivo. These fascinating properties award the black bioceramics with profound applications in both tumor therapy and tissue regeneration, which should greatly promote the scientific relevance and clinical application of bioceramics, representing a promising new direction of cell-instructive biomaterials.

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
Great efforts have been devoted to exploiting silicate bioceramics for various applications in soft tissue regeneration, owing to their excellent bioactivity. Based on the inherent ability of silicate bioceramics to repair tissue, bioactive ions are easily incorporated into silicate bioceramics to endow them with extra biological properties, such as enhanced angiogenesis, antibiosis, enhanced osteogenesis, and antitumor effect, which significantly expands the application of multifunctional silicate bioceramics. Furthermore, silicate nanobioceramics with unique structures have been widely employed for tumor therapy. In recent years, the novel applications of silicate bioceramics for both tissue regeneration and tumor therapy have substantially grown. Eliminating the skin tumors first and then repairing the skin wounds has been widely investigated by our groups, which might shed some light on treating other soft tissue tumor or tumor-induced defects. This review first describes the recent advances made in the development of silicate bioceramics as therapeutic platforms for soft tissue regeneration. We then highlight the major silicate nanobioceramics used for tumor therapy. Silicate bioceramics for both soft tissue regeneration and tumor therapy are further emphasized. Finally, challenges and future directions of silicate bioceramics stepping into the clinics are discussed. This review will inspire researchers to create the efficient and functional silicate bioceramics needed for regeneration and tumor therapy of other tissues.

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
Wound healing is a dynamic and complex process that contains several sequential phases. However, most of the current drug delivery systems were designed to treat only one certain phase of wound repair, ignoring the fact that every stage plays critical roles in the wound healing process and those critical stages coordinately work to ensure optimal tissue regeneration. Therefore, a delivery system that can precisely meet the requirements of each wound healing stage is desired to enhance tissue regeneration. In this study, an injectable sodium alginate/bioglass (SA/BG) composite hydrogel was used to carry SA microparticles containing a conditioned medium (CM) of cells (SACM). Inside the SACM microparticles, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres containing pirfenidone (PFD) were encapsulated (PLGAPFD). This multilayer injectable hydrogel system (SA/BG-SACM-PLGAPFD) was designed to sequentially deliver bioactive molecules for meeting the bioactivity requirement and timeline of each wound healing stage. First, SA/BG hydrogels could rapidly release BG ionic products in the first 1-3 days to regulate the inflammatory response of the host and initiate the subsequent tissue regeneration. Then, SACM hydrogel microparticles could release CM of RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with BG ionic products in 2-7 days to facilitate the formation of the vascularized granulation tissue. Finally, PLGAPFD microspheres released PFD in 8-20 days to prevent the fibrosis and scar formation in the regenerated skin. Thus, this SA/BG-SACM-PLGAPFD delivery system could restrain host inflammation, accelerate wound healing, and inhibit the fibrosis formation in a diabetic mouse skin damage model, enhancing skin regeneration. As the bioactive components in each layer of the system can be adjusted according to the requirements of different tissue regeneration, this three-layered injectable biomaterial system has a wide application potential in the regenerative medicine field.

Abstract
The rational choice and design of biomaterials for biomedical applications is crucial for successful in vitro and in vivo strategies, ultimately dictating their performance and potential clinical applications. Alginate, a marine-derived polysaccharide obtained from seaweeds, is one of the most widely used polymers in the biomedical field, particularly to build three dimensional (3D) systems for in vitro culture and in vivo delivery of cells. Despite their biocompatibility, alginate hydrogels often require modifications to improve their biological activity, namely via inclusion of mammalian cell-interactive domains and fine-tuning of mechanical properties. These modifications enable the addition of new features for greater versatility and control over alginate-based systems, extending the plethora of applications and procedures where they can be used. Additionally, hybrid systems based on alginate combination with other components can also be explored to improve the mimicry of extracellular microenvironments and their dynamics. This review provides an overview on alginate properties and current clinical applications, along with different strategies that have been reported to improve alginate hydrogels performance as 3D matrices and 4D dynamic systems.

Abstract
In deep burn injuries, the dermis of the skin is often severely damaged, and hair follicles are also lost and lose the potential for regeneration. Therefore, the development of wound dressings that promote hair follicle regeneration has important clinical significance. In this study, inspired by an ancient Chinese medicine prescription, a novel fibrous membrane (P/Qu/Cup; P, PCL; Qu, quercetin; Cup, cuprorivaite, CaCuSi4O10) containing quercetin-copper (Qu-Cu) chelates was fabricated by using quercetin and a highly bioactive bioceramic (CaCuSi4O10) incorporated in PCL/gelatin electrospun fibers. The fibrous membrane can effectively release Qu and Cu ions to induce proliferation, migration, and differentiation of skin and hair follicle related cells, and the Qu, Cu ions, and Si ions released from the composite membrane revealed synergistic activity to stimulate hair follicle regeneration and wound healing. Our study demonstrated that the analysis of the common components in ancient Chinese prescription is an effective approach to design novel bioactive materials for regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Polysaccharide-nanoparticle (NP) hybrid nanoclusters have great potential to revitalize diverse bioapplications; however, fabricating polysaccharide-based hybrid nanoclusters composed of high-quality NPs generated in the organic phase remains a challenge. Here, using calcium alginate as a polysaccharide/tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAOH) combination, we report a novel approach to the design of alginate-hydrophobic magnetic-plasmonic core-shell (MPCS) NP hybrid nanoclusters (A-MPCS HNCs). Furthermore, we observe the dependence of the formation of A-MPCS HNCs on the TMAOH concentration. The enhanced performance in both magnetic resonance r2 relaxivity and photoacoustic (PA) signals and the biocompatibility/bioactivity as well as the in vivo performance of A-MPCS HNCs shows them to be a promising magnetic resonance/photoacoustic dual-mode imaging agent. Our strategy could open doors to the use of other precious high-quality nanomaterials created in the organic phase via well-established synthetic chemistry in the design of alginate-hydrophobic nanomaterial hybrid nanoclusters, giving rise to novel and multifarious bioapplications.

Abstract
Nanobiomaterials have attracted tremendous attention in the biomedical field. Especially in the past few years, a large number of low dimensional nanobiomaterials, including 0D nanostructures, 1D nanotubes and 2D nanosheets, were employed for tumor therapy due to their optically triggered tumor therapy effects and drug loading capacities. However, these low dimensional nanobiomaterials cannot support cell adhesion and possess poor tissue regeneration ability, thus they are not suitable for application in regenerative medicine. Three dimensional (3D) nanofiber scaffolds have attracted extensive attention in tissue regeneration, including bone, skin, nerve and cardiac tissues, due to their similar extracellular matrix structures. Additionally, many 3D scaffolds displayed bone and cartilage regeneration abilities. Therefore, to obtain materials with both tumor therapy and tissue regeneration abilities, it is meaningful and necessary to develop 3D nanobiomaterials with multifunctions. In this review, we systematically review the research progress of nanobiomaterials with varied dimensional structures including 0D, 1D, 2D and 3D, as well as evolutional functions from single tumor therapy to simultaneous tumor therapy and tissue regeneration. This review may pave the way for developing an interdisciplinary research of nanobiomaterials in combination of tumor therapy and regenerative medicine.

The role of nitrogen off-stoichiometry in the osteogenic behavior of silicon nitride bioceramics. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2019; 105:110053.

Abstract
The surface chemistry of silicon nitride plays an important role in stimulating osteoblasts to proliferate and produce bone tissue with improved efficiency. This property, which is advantageous in spinal fusion surgery has a chemical origin and is a direct consequence of the cleavage of covalent SN bonds in an aqueous environment. Building upon a wealth of published research on the stimulation of osteoblastic activity by silicon, the aim of this paper is to explore the role of nitrogen and, more specifically, the N/Si atomic ratio on the osteogenic response of Si3N4. The surface stoichiometry of Si3N4 was gradually altered toward a silicon-rich composition by systematically treating the Si3N4 surface with a high-power pulsed laser in an Ar gas atmosphere (i.e., operated at different pulse times, spot sizes, and voltages). Different analytical probes were used to characterize the surface including X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Osteoconductivity was tested in vitro using SaOS-2 osteosarcoma cells, and samples with different surface stoichiometry were compared for their osteogenic response. These experiments clearly indicated a fundamental role for nitrogen off-stoichiometry in osteogenesis, and showed that both cell proliferation and growth of bone tissue diminished with decreasing nitrogen content.

Abstract
Magnesium containing calcium silicates have recently shown that they are promising materials for various biomedical application with potential use in the form of bulk ceramic, composite scaffold or coatings on metallic substrates. A novel akermanite (AK; Ca2MgSi2O7)/dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD, CaHPO4. H2O) cement mixture was tested in this work in order to produce an alternative AK/DCPD biocement for orthopedic applications. For comparison, we have prepared two cements mixed with 2.5 wt% NaH2PO4 solution (labeled as NaH2PO4 cement) and with the solution composed of organic 2.5 wt% citric acid a 2.5 wt% trisodium citrate (citrate cement) respectively. The results demonstrated only a partial dissolution of AK, regardless of the type of liquid used. On the other hand, the DCPD was completely hydrolyzed much faster in the citrate cement. The final hydration product was an amorhous quarternary phase of CaO-MgO-SiO2-P2O5 composition with the remaining unreacted akermanite embeded in the cement matrix. The highest early compressive strength was observed in the citrate cement (33 MPa), but much lower value was measured in NaH2PO4 cement (7 MPa) after 1 d setting. Different cell responses have been observed when the cells were cultured on the surfaces of cement substrates. While the NaH2PO4 cement demonstrated high proliferation activity of osteoblast, the citrate cement showed strong cytotoxic cell response, probably as a result of higher concentration of citrates on the cement surface, which can negatively affect the attachment and proliferation of osteoblastic cells.
