Abstract
Appropriate regulation of immunomodulatory responses, particularly acute inflammation involving macrophages, is crucial for the desired functionality of implants. Decellularized amnion membrane (DAM) is produced by removing cellular components and antigenicity, expected to reduce immunogenicity and the risk of inflammation. Despite the potential of DAM as biomaterial implants, few studies have investigated its specific effects on immunomodulation. Here, it is demonstrated that DAM can regulate macrophage-driven inflammatory response and potential mechanisms are investigated. In vitro results show that DAM significantly inhibits M1 polarization in LPS-induced macrophages by inhibiting Toll-like receptors (TLR) signaling pathway and TNF signaling pathway and promotes macrophage M2 polarization. Physical signals from the 3D micro-structure and the active protein, DCN, binding to key targets may play roles in the process. In the subcutaneous implant model in rats, DAM inhibits the persistence of inflammation and fibrous capsule formation, while promoting M2 macrophage polarization, thereby facilitating tissue regeneration. This study provides insights into DAM's effect and potential mechanisms on the balance of M1/M2 macrophage polarization in vitro and vivo, emphasizing the immunomodulation of ECM-based materials as promising implants.

Abstract
Maintaining the viability of damaged pulp is critical in clinical dentistry. Pulp capping, by placing dental material over the exposed pulp, is a main approach to promote pulp-dentin healing and mineralized tissue formation. The dental materials are desired to impact on intricate physiological mechanisms in the healing process, including early regulation of inflammation, immunity, and cellular events. In this study, we developed an injectable dental pulp-derived decellularized matrix (DPM) hydrogel to modulate macrophage responses and promote dentin repair. The DPM derived from porcine dental pulp has high collagen retention and low DNA content. The DPM was solubilized by pepsin digestion (named p-DPM) and subsequently injected through a 25G needle to form hydrogel facilely at 37 °C. In vitro results demonstrated that the p-DPM induced the M2-polarization of macrophages and the migration, proliferation, and dentin differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells from deciduous teeth (SHEDs). In a mouse subcutaneous injection test, the p-DPM hydrogel was found to facilitate cell recruitment and M2 polarization during the early phase of implantation. Additionally, the acute pulp restoration in rat models proved that injectable p-DPM hydrogel as a pulp-capping agent had excellent efficacy in dentin regeneration. This study demonstrates that the DPM promotes dentin repair by modulating macrophage responses, and has a potential for pulp-capping applications in dental practice.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a pro-regenerative tissue, that utilizes a tissue-resident stem cell system to effect repair upon injury. Despite the demonstrated efficiency of this system in restoring muscle mass after many acute injuries, in conditions of severe trauma such as those evident in volumetric muscle loss (VML) (>20 % by mass), this self-repair capability is unable to restore tissue architecture, requiring interventions which currently are largely surgical. As a possible alternative, the generation of artificial muscle using tissue engineering approaches may also be of importance in the treatment of VML and muscle diseases such as dystrophies. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has been identified as a promising technique for regeneration of the complex architecture of skeletal muscle. This review discusses existing treatment strategies following muscle damage, recent progress in bioprinting techniques, the bioinks used for muscle regeneration, the immunogenicity of scaffold materials, and in vitro and in vivo maturation techniques for 3D bio-printed muscle constructs. The pros and cons of these bioink formulations are also highlighted. Finally, we present the current limitations and challenges in the field and critical factors to consider for bioprinting approaches to become more translationa and to produce clinically relevant engineered muscle. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review discusses the physiopathology of muscle injuries and existing clinical treatment strategies for muscle damage, the types of bioprinting techniques that have been applied to bioprinting of muscle, and the bioinks commonly used for muscle regeneration. The pros and cons of these bioinks are highlighted. We present a discussion of existing gaps in the literature and critical factors to consider for the translation of bioprinting approaches and to produce clinically relevant engineered muscle. Finally, we provide insights into what we believe will be the next steps required before the realization of the application of tissue-engineered muscle in humans. We believe this manuscript is an insightful, timely, and instructive review that will guide future muscle bioprinting research from a fundamental construct creation approach, down a translational pathway to achieve the desired impact in the clinic.

Abstract
Axon regeneration and Schwann cell proliferation are critical processes in the repair and functional recovery of damaged neural tissues. Biomaterials can play a crucial role in facilitating cell proliferative processes that can significantly impact the target tissue repair. Chemical decellularization and supercritical fluid-based decellularization methods are similar approaches that eliminate DNA from native tissues for tissue-mimetic biomaterial production by using different solvents and procedures to achieve the final products. In this study, we conducted a comparative analysis of these two methods in the context of nerve regeneration and neuron cell differentiation efficiency. We evaluated the efficacy of each method in terms of biomaterial quality, preservation of extracellular matrix components, promotion of neuronal cell differentiation and nerve tissue repair ability in vivo. Our results indicate that while both methods produce high-quality biomaterials, supercritical fluid-based methods have several advantages over conventional chemical decellularization, including better preservation of extracellular matrix components and mechanical properties and superior promotion of cellular responses. We conclude that supercritical fluid-based methods show great promise for biomaterial production for nerve regeneration and neuron cell differentiation applications.

Abstract
Engineered human cardiac tissues have been utilized for various biomedical applications, including drug testing, disease modeling, and regenerative medicine. However, the applications of cardiac tissues derived from human pluripotent stem cells are often limited due to their immaturity and lack of functionality. Therefore, in this study, we establish a perfusable culture system based on in vivo-like heart microenvironments to improve human cardiac tissue fabrication. The integrated culture platform of a microfluidic chip and a three-dimensional heart extracellular matrix enhances human cardiac tissue development and their structural and functional maturation. These tissues are comprised of cardiovascular lineage cells, including cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, as well as vascular endothelial cells. The resultant macroscale human cardiac tissues exhibit improved efficacy in drug testing (small molecules with various levels of arrhythmia risk), disease modeling (Long QT Syndrome and cardiac fibrosis), and regenerative therapy (myocardial infarction treatment). Therefore, our culture system can serve as a highly effective tissue-engineering platform to provide human cardiac tissues for versatile biomedical applications.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is the only definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and its availability is restricted by organ donor shortages. The development of liver bioengineering provides the probability to create a functional alternative to reduce the gap in organ demand and supply. Decellularized liver scaffolds have been widely applied in bioengineering because they can mimic the native liver microenvironment and retain extracellular matrix (ECM) components. Multiple approaches including chemical, physical and biological methods have been developed for liver decellularization in current studies, but a full set of unified criteria has not yet been established. Each method has its advantages and drawbacks that influence the microstructure and ligand landscape of decellularized liver scaffolds. Optimizing a decellularization method to eliminate cell material while retaining as much of the ECM intact as possible is therefore important for biological scaffold applications. Furthermore, crosslinking strategies can improve the biological performance of scaffolds, including reinforcing biomechanics, delaying degradation in vivo and reducing immune rejection, which can better promote the integration of re-cellularized scaffolds with host tissue and influence the reconstruction process. In this review, we aim to present the different liver decellularization techniques, the crosslinking methods to improve scaffold characteristics with crosslinking and the preparation of soluble ECM.

Abstract
As the only reliable treatment option for end-stage liver diseases, conventional liver transplantation confronts major supply limitations. Accordingly, the decellularization of discarded livers to produce bioscaffolds that support recellularization with progenitor/stem cells has emerged as a promising translational medicine approach. The success of this approach will substantially be determined by the extent of extracellular matrix (ECM) preservation during the decellularization process. Here, we assumed that the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition could reduce the ECM damage during the whole liver decellularization of an animal model using a perfusion-based system. We demonstrated that the application of doxycycline as an MMP inhibitor led to significantly higher preservation of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and hepatic growth factor (HGF) contents, as well as mechanical and structural features, including tensile strength, fiber integrity, and porosity. Notably, produced bioscaffolds were biocompatible and efficiently supported cell viability and proliferation in vitro. We also indicated that produced bioscaffolds efficiently supported HepG2 cell function upon seeding onto liver ECM discs using albumin and urea assay. Additionally, MMP inhibitor pretreated decellularized livers were more durable in contact with collagenase digestion compared to control bioscaffolds in vitro. Using zymography, we confirmed the underlying mechanism that results in these promising effects is through the inhibition of MMP2 and MMP9. Overall, we demonstrated a novel method based on MMP inhibition to ameliorate the ECM structure and composition preservation during liver decellularization as a critical step in fabricating transplantable bioengineered livers.

Abstract
Acute and chronic liver diseases cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide, affecting millions of people. Liver transplantation is the primary intervention method, replacing a non-functional liver with a functional one. However, the field of liver transplantation faces challenges such as donor shortage, postoperative complications, immune rejection, and ethical problems. Consequently, there is an urgent need for alternative therapies that can complement traditional transplantation or serve as an alternative method. In this review, we explore the potential of liver tissue engineering as a supplementary approach to liver transplantation, offering benefits to patients with severe liver dysfunctions.

Abstract
The present challenge in dental pulp tissue engineering scaffold materials lies in the development of tissue-specific scaffolds that are conducive to an optimal regenerative microenvironment and capable of accommodating intricate root canal systems. This study utilized porcine dental pulp to derive the decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) via appropriate decellularization protocols. The resultant dECM was dissolved in an acid pepsin solution to form dECM hydrogels. The analysis encompassed evaluating the microstructure and rheological properties of dECM hydrogels and evaluated their biological properties, including in vitro cell viability, proliferation, migration, tube formation, odontogenic, and neurogenic differentiation. Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel served as the control. Subsequently, hydrogels were injected into treated dentin matrix tubes and transplanted subcutaneously into nude mice to regenerate dental pulp tissue in vivo. The results showed that dECM hydrogels exhibited exceptional injectability and responsiveness to physiological temperature. It supported the survival, odontogenic, and neurogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells in a 3D culture setting. Moreover, it exhibited a superior ability to promote cell migration and angiogenesis compared to GelMA hydrogel in vitro. Additionally, the dECM hydrogel demonstrated the capability to regenerate pulp-like tissue with abundant blood vessels and a fully formed odontoblast-like cell layer in vivo. These findings highlight the potential of porcine dental pulp dECM hydrogel as a specialized scaffold material for dental pulp regeneration.

Abstract
Biomaterials are widely used for various medical purposes, for instance, implants, tissue engineering, medical devices, and drug delivery systems. Natural biomaterials can be obtained from proteins, carbohydrates, and cell-specific sources. However, when these biomaterials are introduced into the body, they trigger an immune response which may lead to rejection and failure of the implanted device or tissue. The immune system recognizes natural biomaterials as foreign substances and triggers the activation of several immune cells, for instance, macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells. These cells release pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, which recruit other immune cells to the implantation site. The activation of the immune system can lead to an inflammatory response, which can be beneficial or detrimental, depending on the type of natural biomaterial and the extent of the immune response. These biomaterials can also influence the immune response by modulating the behavior of immune cells. For example, biomaterials with specific surface properties, such as charge and hydrophobicity, can affect the activation and differentiation of immune cells. Additionally, biomaterials can be engineered to release immunomodulatory factors, such as anti-inflammatory cytokines, to promote a tolerogenic immune response. In conclusion, the interaction between biomaterials and the body's immune system is an intricate procedure with potential consequences for the effectiveness of therapeutics and medical devices. A better understanding of this interplay can help to design biomaterials that promote favorable immune responses and minimize adverse reactions.

Tailoring the multiscale mechanics of tunable decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) for wound healing through immunomodulation. Bioact Mater 2023; 28:95-111.

Abstract
With the discovery of the pivotal role of macrophages in tissue regeneration through shaping the tissue immune microenvironment, various immunomodulatory strategies have been proposed to modify traditional biomaterials. Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) has been extensively used in the clinical treatment of tissue injury due to its favorable biocompatibility and similarity to the native tissue environment. However, most reported decellularization protocols may cause damage to the native structure of dECM, which undermines its inherent advantages and potential clinical applications. Here, we introduce a mechanically tunable dECM prepared by optimizing the freeze-thaw cycles. We demonstrated that the alteration in micromechanical properties of dECM resulting from the cyclic freeze-thaw process contributes to distinct macrophage-mediated host immune responses to the materials, which are recently recognized to play a pivotal role in determining the outcome of tissue regeneration. Our sequencing data further revealed that the immunomodulatory effect of dECM was induced via the mechnotrasduction pathways in macrophages. Next, we tested the dECM in a rat skin injury model and found an enhanced micromechanical property of dECM achieved with three freeze-thaw cycles significantly promoted the M2 polarization of macrophages, leading to superior wound healing. These findings suggest that the immunomodulatory property of dECM can be efficiently manipulated by tailoring its inherent micromechanical properties during the decellularization process. Therefore, our mechanics-immunomodulation-based strategy provides new insights into the development of advanced biomaterials for wound healing.

Impact of various detergent-based immersion and perfusion decellularization strategies on the novel caprine pancreas derived extracellular matrix scaffold. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1253804. [PMID: 37790257 PMCID: PMC10544968 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1253804] [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: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Limited availability of the organs donors has facilitated the establishment of xenogeneic organ sources for transplantation. Numerous studies have decellularized several organs and assessed their implantability in order to provide such organs. Among all the decellularized organs studies for xenotransplantation, the pancreas has garnered very limited amount of research. The presently offered alternatives for pancreas transplantation are unable to liberate patients from donor dependence. The rat and mice pancreas are not of an accurate size for transplantation but can only be used for in-vitro studies mimicking in-vivo immune response in humans, while the porcine pancreas can cause zoonotic diseases as it carries porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV- A/B/C). Therefore, we propose caprine pancreas as a substitute for these organs, which not only reduces donor dependence but also poses no risk of zoonosis. Upon decellularization the extracellular matrix (ECM) of different tissues responds differently to the detergents used for decellularization at physical and physiological level; this necessitates a comprehensive analysis of each tissue independently. This study investigates the impact of decellularization by ionic (SDS and SDC), non-ionic (Triton X-100 and Tween-20), and zwitterionic detergents (CHAPS). All these five detergents have been used to decellularize caprine pancreas via immersion (ID) and perfusion (PD) set-up. In this study, an extensive comparison of these two configurations (ID and PD) with regard to each detergent has been conducted. The final obtained scaffold with each set-up has been evaluated for the left-over cytosolic content, ECM components like sGAG, collagen, and fibronectin were estimated via Prussian blue and Immunohistochemical staining respectively, and finally for the tensile strength and antimicrobial activity. All the detergents performed consistently superior in PD than in ID. Conclusively, PD with SDS, SDC, and TX-100 successfully decellularizes caprine pancreatic tissue while retaining ECM architecture and mechanical properties. This research demonstrates the viability of caprine pancreatic tissue as a substitute scaffold for porcine organs and provides optimal decellularization protocol for this xenogeneic tissue. This research aims to establish a foundation for further investigations into potential regenerative strategies using this ECM in combination with other factors.

Abstract
Pathological aseptic calcification is the most common form of structural valvular degeneration (SVD), leading to premature failure of heart valve bioprostheses (BHVs). The processing methods used to obtain GA-fixed pericardium-based biomaterials determine the hemodynamic characteristics and durability of BHVs. This article presents a comparative study of the effects of several processing methods on the degree of damage to the ECM of GA-fixed pericardium-based biomaterials as well as on their biostability, biocompatibility, and resistance to calcification. Based on the assumption that preservation of the native ECM structure will enable the creation of calcinosis-resistant materials, this study provides a soft biomimetic approach for the manufacture of GA-fixed biomaterials using gentle decellularization and washing methods. It has been shown that the use of soft methods for preimplantation processing of materials, ensuring maximum preservation of the intactness of the pericardial ECM, radically increases the resistance of biomaterials to calcification. These obtained data are of interest for the development of new calcinosis-resistant biomaterials for the manufacture of BHVs.

Abstract
Background Impaired wound healing is the most common and significant complication of Diabetes. While most other complications of Diabetes have better treatment options, diabetic wounds remain a burden as they can cause pain and suffering in patients. Wound closure and repair are orchestrated by a sequence of events aided by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which are dysregulated in cases of Diabetes, making the wound environment unfavorable for healing and delaying the wound healing processes. This concise review provides an overview of the dysregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and offers insights into better therapeutic outcomes. Purpose of review Although many therapeutic approaches have been lined up nowadays to treat Diabetes, there are no proper treatment modalities proposed yet in treating diabetic wounds due to the lack of understanding about the role of inflammatory mediators, especially Pro-inflammatory mediators- Cytokines, in the process of Wound healing which we mainly focus on this review. Recent findings Although complications of Diabetes mellitus are most reported after years of diagnosis, the most severe critical complication is impaired Wound Healing among Diabetes patients. Even though Trauma, Peripheral Artery Disease, and Peripheral Neuropathy are the leading triggering factors for the development of ulcerations, the most significant issue contributing to the development of complicated cutaneous wounds is wound healing impairment. It may even end up with amputation. Newer therapeutic approaches such as incorporating the additives in the present dressing materials, which include antimicrobial molecules and immunomodulatory cytokines is of better therapeutic value. Summary The adoption of these technologies and the establishment of novel therapeutic interventions is difficult since there is a gap in terms of a complete understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms at the cellular and molecular level and the lack of data in terms of the assessment of safety and bioavailability differences in the individuals' patients. The target-specific pro-inflammatory cytokines-based therapies, either by upregulation or downregulation of them, will be helpful in the wound healing process and thereby enhances the Quality of life in patients, which is the goal of drug therapy.

Abstract
Organ transplantation is understood as a technique where an organ from a donor patient is transferred to a recipient patient. This practice gained strength in the 20th century and ensured advances in areas of knowledge such as immunology and tissue engineering. The main problems that comprise the practice of transplants involve the demand for viable organs and immunological aspects related to organ rejection. In this review, we address advances in tissue engineering for reversing the current challenges of transplants, focusing on the possible use of decellularized tissues in tissue engineering. We address the interaction of acellular tissues with immune cells, especially macrophages and stem cells, due to their potential use in regenerative medicine. Our goal is to exhibit data that demonstrate the use of decellularized tissues as alternative biomaterials that can be applied clinically as partial or complete organ substitutes.

Abstract
Tendon tissue connects muscle to bone and plays crucial roles in stress transfer. Tendon injury remains a significant clinical challenge due to its complicated biological structure and poor self-healing capacity. The treatments for tendon injury have advanced significantly with the development of technology, including the use of sophisticated biomaterials, bioactive growth factors, and numerous stem cells. Among these, biomaterials that the mimic extracellular matrix (ECM) of tendon tissue would provide a resembling microenvironment to improve efficacy in tendon repair and regeneration. In this review, we will begin with a description of the constituents and structural features of tendon tissue, followed by a focus on the available biomimetic scaffolds of natural or synthetic origin for tendon tissue engineering. Finally, we will discuss novel strategies and present challenges in tendon regeneration and repair.

Preliminary study of improving immune tolerance in vivo of bioprosthetic heart valves through a novel antigenic removal method. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 11:1141247. [PMID: 37051276 PMCID: PMC10083275 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2023.1141247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The durability of bioprosthetic heart valves is always compromised by the inherent antigenicity of biomaterials. Decellularization has been a promising approach to reducing the immunogenicity of biological valves. However, current methods are insufficient in eliminating all immunogenicity from the biomaterials, necessitating the exploration of novel techniques. In this study, we investigated using a novel detergent, fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sodium sulfate (AES), to remove antigens from bovine pericardium. Our results demonstrated that AES treatment achieved a higher pericardial antigen removal rate than traditional detergent treatments while preserving the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the biomaterials. Moreover, we observed excellent immune tolerance in the in vivo rat model. Overall, our findings suggest that AES treatment is a promising method for preparing biological valves with ideal clinical application prospects.

Decellularized-disc based allograft and xenograft prosthesis for the long-term precise reconstruction of temporomandibular joint disc. Acta Biomater 2023; 159:173-187. [PMID: 36708853 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.01.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 01/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
Currently, no effective disc reconstruction treatment strategy is clinically available for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc-related diseases. To address this, we developed a prosthesis construct with laser-drilled decellularized natural disc reinforced by polycaprolactone, which mimics the natural morphology, and structural, biomechanical and biological property of the TMJ disc. The construct demonstrated good biocompatibility, safety and immunological tolerance both in vitro, and in a rat subcutaneous model. During 6 months implantation in an allogeneic rabbit TMJ disc reconstruction model, the disc prosthesis maintained its integrity, collagen fiber-orientation, mechanical property, joint structural stability and prevented articular cartilage and bone from damage. Furthermore, the "upgraded" disc prosthesis obtained from decellularized porcine disc was implanted into a goat TMJ disc reconstruction model. The xenograft prosthesis, with strength and viscoelasticity similar to a natural TMJ disc, was able to restore the structure and function of TMJ up to 20 weeks. These results demonstrate the translational feasibility of an allogeneic or xenogeneic decellularized disc prosthesis for treatment of advanced TMJ disc-related diseases. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This study makes a significant contribution to TMJ disc disease treatment both in theory and in clinics, because: (1) it provided an innovative approach to prepare an artificial TMJ disc with decent mechanical properties and long-term condyle-protecting effect; (2) it specified an advanced decellularized method for fibrocartilage decellularization and xenograft application; (3) it developed a facile and reproducible TMJ disc reconstruction model not only for middle size animal but also for large animal study; (4) the comprehensive and unreported biomechanical tests on the natural TMJ discs would act as a valuable reference for further research in the field of artificial TMJ disc materials or TMJ disc tissue engineering; (5) it suggested a potential treatment for patients with severe TMJ diseases that were commonly met but difficult to treat in clinics.

Abstract
Ovarian tissue has a unique microarchitecture and a complex cellular and molecular dynamics that are essential for follicular survival and development. Due to this great complexity, several factors may lead to ovarian insufficiency, and therefore to systemic metabolic disorders and female infertility. Techniques currently used in the reproductive clinic such as oocyte cryopreservation or even ovarian tissue transplant, although effective, have several limitations, which impair their wide application. In this scenario, mimetic ovarian tissue reconstruction comes as an innovative alternative to develop new methodologies for germ cells preservation and ovarian functions restoration. The ovarian extracellular matrix (ECM) is crucial for oocyte viability maintenance, once it acts actively in folliculogenesis. One of the key components of ovarian bioengineering is biomaterials application that mimics ECM and provides conditions for cell anchorage, proliferation, and differentiation. Therefore, this review aims at describing ovarian tissue engineering approaches and listing the main limitations of current methods for preservation and reestablishment of ovarian fertility. In addition, we describe the main elements that structure this study field, highlighting the main advances and the challenges to overcome to develop innovative methodologies to be applied in reproductive medicine. Impact Statement This review presents the main advances in the application of tissue bioengineering in the ovarian tissue reconstruction to develop innovative solutions for ovarian fertility reestablishment.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds hold great potential to address the donor shortage as well as immunologic rejection attributed to cells in conventional tissue/organ transplantation. Decellularization, as the key process in manufacturing ECM scaffolds, removes immunogen cell materials and significantly alleviates the immunogenicity and biocompatibility of derived scaffolds. However, the application of these bioscaffolds still confronts major immunologic challenges. This review discusses the interplay between damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and antigens as the main inducers of innate and adaptive immunity to aid in manufacturing biocompatible grafts with desirable immunogenicity. It also appraises the impact of various decellularization methodologies (i.e., apoptosis-assisted techniques) on provoking immune responses that participate in rejecting allogenic and xenogeneic decellularized scaffolds. In addition, the key research findings regarding the contribution of ECM alterations, cytotoxicity issues, graft sourcing, and implantation site to the immunogenicity of decellularized tissues/organs are comprehensively considered. Finally, it discusses practical solutions to overcome immunogenicity, including antigen masking by crosslinking, sterilization optimization, and antigen removal techniques such as selective antigen removal and sequential antigen solubilization.

Abstract
Innate immune cells play a pivotal role in controlling tissue repair and rejection after biomaterial implantation. Calcium supplementation regulates cellular responses and alter the pathophysiology of various diseases. A series of macrophage activations through differential plasticity has been observed after cell-to-material interactions. We investigated the role of calcium supplementation in controlling macrophage phenotypes in pro-inflammatory and pre-reparative states. Oxidative defence and mitochondria involvement in cellular plasticity and the sequential M0 to M1 and M1 to M2 transitions were observed after calcium supplementation. This study describes the molecular mechanism of reactive oxygen species and drives the interconnected cellular plasticity of macrophages in the presence of calcium. Gene expression, and immunostaining, revealed a relationship between MHC class II maturation and cellular plasticity. This study elucidated the role of controlled calcium supplementation under various conditions. These findings underscore the molecular mechanism of calcium-mediated immune induction and its favourable use in different calcium-containing biomaterials., essential for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Poor fiber orientation and mismatched bone-ligament interface fusion have plagued the regeneration of periodontal defects by cell-based scaffolds. A 3D bioprinted biomimetic periodontal module is designed with high architectural integrity using a methacrylate gelatin/decellularized extracellular matrix (GelMA/dECM) cell-laden bioink. The module presents favorable mechanical properties and orientation guidance by high-precision topographical cues and provides a biochemical environment conducive to regulating encapsulated cell behavior. The dECM features robust immunomodulatory activity, reducing the release of proinflammatory factors by M1 macrophages and decreasing local inflammation in Sprague Dawley rats. In a clinically relevant critical-size periodontal defect model, the bioprinted module significantly enhances the regeneration of hybrid periodontal tissues in beagles, especially the anchoring structures of the bone-ligament interface, well-aligned periodontal fibers, and highly mineralized alveolar bone. This demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of 3D bioprinting combined with a dental follicle-specific dECM bioink for periodontium regeneration, providing new avenues for future clinical practice.

Abstract
Tissue development, wound healing, pathogenesis, regeneration, and homeostasis rely upon coordinated and dynamic spatial and temporal remodeling of extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules. ECM reorganization and normal physiological tissue function, require the establishment and maintenance of biological, chemical, and mechanical feedback mechanisms directed by cell-matrix interactions. To replicate the physical and biological environment provided by the ECM in vivo, methods have been developed to decellularize and solubilize tissues which yield organ and tissue-specific bioactive hydrogels. While these biomaterials retain several important traits of the native ECM, the decellularizing process, and subsequent sterilization, and solubilization result in fragmented, cleaved, or partially denatured macromolecules. The final product has decreased viscosity, moduli, and yield strength, when compared to the source tissue, limiting the compatibility of isolated decellularized ECM (dECM) hydrogels with fabrication methods such as extrusion bioprinting. This review describes the physical and bioactive characteristics of dECM hydrogels and their role as biomaterials for biofabrication. In this work, critical variables when selecting the appropriate tissue source and extraction methods are identified. Common manual and automated fabrication techniques compatible with dECM hydrogels are described and compared. Fabrication and post-manufacturing challenges presented by the dECM hydrogels decreased mechanical and structural stability are discussed as well as circumvention strategies. We further highlight and provide examples of the use of dECM hydrogels in tissue engineering and their role in fabricating complex in vitro 3D microenvironments.

Abstract
Biomaterials are one of efficient treatment options for tissue defects in regenerative medicine. Compared to synthetic materials which tend to induce chronic inflammatory response and fibrous capsule, extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold materials composed of biopolymers are thought to be capable of inducing a pro-regenerative immune microenvironment and facilitate wound healing. Immune cells are the first line of response to implanted biomaterials. In particular, macrophages greatly affect cell behavior and the ultimate treatment outcome based on multiple cell phenotypes with various functions. The macrophage polarization status is considered as a general reflection of the characteristics of the immune microenvironment. Since numerous reports has emphasized the limitation of classical M1/M2 nomenclature, high-resolution techniques such as single-cell sequencing has been applied to recognize distinct macrophage phenotypes involved in host responses to biomaterials. After reviewing latest literatures that explored the immune microenvironment mediated by ECM scaffolds, this paper describe the behaviors of highly heterogeneous and plastic macrophages subpopulations which affect the tissue regeneration. The mechanisms by which ECM scaffolds interact with macrophages are also discussed from the perspectives of the ECM ultrastructure along with the nucleic acid, protein, and proteoglycan compositions, in order to provide targets for potential therapeutic modulation in regenerative medicine.

Wu T, Huang KC, Yan JF, Zhang JJ, Wang SX. Extracellular matrix-derived scaffolds in constructing artificial ovaries for ovarian failure: a systematic methodological review. Hum Reprod Open 2023; 2023:hoad014. [PMID: 37180603 PMCID: PMC10174707 DOI: 10.1093/hropen/hoad014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 05/16/2023] Open
Abstract
STUDY QUESTION What is the current state-of-the-art methodology assessing decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based artificial ovaries for treating ovarian failure? SUMMARY ANSWER Preclinical studies have demonstrated that decellularized scaffolds support the growth of ovarian somatic cells and follicles both in vitro and in vivo. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Artificial ovaries are a promising approach for rescuing ovarian function. Decellularization has been applied in bioengineering female reproductive tract tissues. However, decellularization targeting the ovary lacks a comprehensive and in-depth understanding. STUDY DESIGN SIZE DURATION PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched from inception until 20 October 2022 to systematically review all studies in which artificial ovaries were constructed using decellularized extracellular matrix scaffolds. The review was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS SETTING METHODS Two authors selected studies independently based on the eligibility criteria. Studies were included if decellularized scaffolds, regardless of their species origin, were seeded with ovarian cells or follicles. Review articles and meeting papers were removed from the search results, as were articles without decellularized scaffolds or recellularization or decellularization protocols, or control groups or ovarian cells. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE The search returned a total of 754 publications, and 12 papers were eligible for final analysis. The papers were published between 2015 and 2022 and were most frequently reported as coming from Iran. Detailed information on the decellularization procedure, evaluation method, and preclinical study design was extracted. In particular, we concentrated on the type and duration of detergent reagent, DNA and extracellular matrix detection methods, and the main findings on ovarian function. Decellularized tissues derived from humans and experimental animals were reported. Scaffolds loaded with ovarian cells have produced estrogen and progesterone, though with high variability, and have supported the growth of various follicles. Serious complications have not been reported. LIMITATIONS REASONS FOR CAUTION A meta-analysis could not be performed. Therefore, only data pooling was conducted. Additionally, the quality of some studies was limited mainly due to incomplete description of methods, which impeded specific data extraction and quality analysis. Several studies that used dECM scaffolds were performed or authored by the same research group with a few modifications, which might have biased our evaluation. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Overall, the decellularization-based artificial ovary is a promising but experimental choice for substituting insufficient ovaries. A generic and comparable standard should be established for the decellularization protocols, quality implementation, and cytotoxicity controls. Currently, decellularized materials are far from being clinically applicable to artificial ovaries. STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTERESTS This study was funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 82001498 and 81701438). The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER This systematic review is registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, ID CRD42022338449).

Injectable decellularized cartilage matrix hydrogel encapsulating urine-derived stem cells for immunomodulatory and cartilage defect regeneration. NPJ Regen Med 2022; 7:75. [PMID: 36550127 PMCID: PMC9780205 DOI: 10.1038/s41536-022-00269-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Reconstruction of complex cartilage defects has remained a great challenge for tissue engineering due to the lack of stem cells and chronic inflammation within the joint. In this study, we have developed an injectable pig cartilage-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels for the repair of cartilage defects, which has shown sound biocompatibility and immunomodulatory capacity both in vitro and in vivo. The dECM hydrogels can enhance the chondrogenic differentiation of human urine-derived stem cells (USCs). As shown by in vitro experiment, the USCs in the dECM hydrogels have survived, proliferated, and produced a mass of cartilage-specific extracellular matrix containing collagen II and aggrecan. And the USCs-laden dECM hydrogels have shown the capacity to promote the secretion of extracellular matrix, modulate the immune response and promote cartilage regeneration in the rat model for cartilage defect.

Abstract
ObjectivesDecellularized homograft valves (DHV) appear to elicit an immune response despite efficient donor cell removal.Materials and methodsA semiquantitative Dot-Blot analysis for preformed and new recipient antibodies was carried out in 20 patients following DHV implantation on days 0, 1, 7, and 28 using secondary antihuman antibodies. Immune reactions were tested against the implanted DHV as well as against the stored samples of 5 non-implanted decellularized aortic (DAH) and 6 pulmonary homografts (DPH).ResultsIn this study, 20 patients (3 female and 17 male patients) were prospectively included, with a median age of 18 years and an IQR of 12–30 years. Six patients received DPH and 14 received DAH. The amount of antibody binding, averaged for all patients, decreased on post-operative days 1 and 7 compared to pre-operative values; and on day 28, antibody binding reached close to pre-operative levels (16.8 ± 2.5 on day 0, 3.7 ± 1.9 on day 1, 2.3 ± 2.7 on day 7, and 13.2 ± 3.7 on day 28). In comparison with the results in healthy controls, there was a higher amount of antibody binding to DAH than to DPH. The mean number of arbitrary units was 18.4 ± 3.1 in aortic and 12.9 ± 4.5 in pulmonary DHV (p = 0.140). Male patients exhibited higher antibody binding to aortic DHV than female patients (19.5 ± 2.1 vs. 1.6 ± 6.7). The p-value calculation was limited, as only two female patients received DAH. There was no correlation between the amount of overall antibody binding to DHV with respect to donor age (Kruskal–Wallis test p = 0.550). DHV recipients with a sex mismatch to the donor showed significantly less antibody binding (6.5 ± 1.8 vs. 13.7 ± 1.8; p = 0.003). Our main finding was an increase in antibody binding in younger patients receiving decellularized aortic allografts. This increase was higher in patients with early degeneration signs but was not specific to the individual DHV implanted nor previous DHV implantation. Antibody binding toward explanted DHV was significantly increased in implicating antibody-mediated DHV degeneration.ConclusionSerial assessment of tissue-specific antibody binding revealed an increase in some patients within 4 weeks after surgery, who subsequently developed early signs of allograft degeneration. Further studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm the prognostic relevance of increased antibody activity in addition to targeted research efforts to identify the molecular agents triggering this type of antibody response.

Abstract
Acellular adipose matrix (AAM) has received increasing attention for soft tissue reconstruction, due to its abundant source, high long-term retention rate and in vivo adipogenic induction ability. However, the current decellularization methods inevitably affect native extracellular matrix (ECM) properties, and the residual antigens can trigger adverse immune reactions after transplantation. The behavior of host inflammatory cells mainly decides the regeneration of AAM after transplantation. In this review, recent knowledge of inflammatory cells for acellular matrix regeneration will be discussed. These advancements will inform further development of AAM products with better properties.

Abstract
Due to the abundance of bioactive components, surficial decoration with cell-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) is a promising strategy to improve the biological functionality of the tissue engineering scaffolds. However, decellularization is necessary to remove antigenic components in the ECM that may trigger adverse immune response. Freeze-thaw (FT) cycles and treatment with Triton X-100/ammonium hydroxide (TN) are two commonly used decellularization methods for ECM, but their effects on both growth factor retention and antigen removal are still controversial. The objectives of this study are to compare the preservation of ECM texture and beneficial ingredients and the removal of cellular antigens by these two methods. First, the constructs combined bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived ECM and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) membrane are prepared and decellularized using FT and TN treatments. Moreover, the effects of decellularization on the ultrastructure and the composition of ECM-decorated PLGA membrane are compared by scanning electron microscope observation and protein quantification. Furthermore, the ECM deposited on PLGA is stripped off and then implanted subcutaneously in rats, and the host macrophage and local lymphocyte responses were investigated. Finally, ECM-decorated porous PLGA scaffolds are implanted into rat calvarial defects, and the new bone formation is evaluated. Our results showed that both methods effectively removed DNA. TN treatment partially retained collagen, glycosaminoglycan, bone morphogenetic protein-2, and vascular endothelial growth factor, and better preserved structural integrity than FT treatment. ECM implants decellularized by both methods induced a mild host response after subcutaneous implantation. Although the total content of residual DNA in the two ECMs digested by the DNA enzyme seemed to be similar and very low, the interfaces between implanted materials and natural tissues in the TN group recruited lower numbers of CD68+ macrophages, CD68+CD86+ (M1) macrophages, and CD4+ T lymphocytes than that in FT group, implying that there exist other ECM antigens to influence immune response besides DNA. Furthermore, ECM-decorated scaffolds decellularized by TN treatment induced greater bone formation than that of bare scaffolds in vivo, demonstrating the effective retention of ECM bioactive components after decellularization. This study showed that TN treatment was a more effective and safer decellularization method than FT cycles. Impact statement Decellularization is a prerequisite for extracellular matrix (ECM) application, but there is still no standard for its selection. This study demonstrated that detergent treatment was more effective than freeze-thaw (FT) cycles in removing ECM antigens besides DNA, and the prepared ECM elicited a milder allogenic immune response, which ensured the safety of ECM. Moreover, detergent better preserved the ECM integrity than FT cycles, and effectively retained growth factors, and the decellularized ECM-decorated scaffolds significantly promoted bone repair, which ensured the effectiveness of ECM. This study provides the theoretical and experimental bases for the decellularization strategy of ECM-modified tissue engineering scaffolds.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is one of the most promising additive manufacturing technologies for fabricating various biomimetic architectures of tissues and organs. In this context, the bioink, a critical element for biofabrication, is a mixture of biomaterials and living cells used in 3D printing to create cell-laden structures. Recently, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based bioinks derived from natural tissues have garnered enormous attention from researchers due to their unique and complex biochemical properties. This review initially presents the details of the natural ECM and its role in cell growth and metabolism. Further, we briefly emphasize the commonly used decellularization treatment procedures and subsequent evaluations for the quality control of the dECM. In addition, we summarize some of the common bioink preparation strategies, the 3D bioprinting approaches, and the applicability of 3D-printed dECM bioinks to tissue engineering. Finally, we present some of the challenges in this field and the prospects for future development.

Abstract
Decellularization of natural tissues to produce extracellular matrix is a promising method for three-dimensional scaffolding and for understanding microenvironment of the tissue of interest. Due to the lack of a universal standard protocol for tissue decellularization, recent investigations seek to develop novel methods for whole or partial organ decellularization capable of supporting cell differentiation and implantation towards appropriate tissue regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive and updated perspective on the most recent advances in decellularization strategies for a variety of organs and tissues, highlighting techniques of chemical, physical, biological, enzymatic, or combinative-based methods to remove cellular contents from tissues. In addition, the review presents modernized approaches for improving standard decellularization protocols for numerous organ types.

Abstract
Current treatments for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc dysfunctions are not fully effective and lack regenerative capacity. Therefore, the search for tissue-engineered materials for TMJ disc substitution is critical to fill this gap. Decellularization presents tremendous potential, as it is possible to obtain an extracellular matrix with an adequate biomechanical structure and biochemical components. However, its application to the TMJ disc is still in progress, since there are few studies in the literature, and those that exist have many gaps in terms of characterisation, which is decisive to ensure its success. Ultimately, we intend to emphasize the importance of the decellularization technique for the development of an engineered TMJ disc.

Abstract
Heart valves have extraordinary fatigue resistance which beat ≈3 billion times in a lifetime. Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) made from fixed heteroplasm that are incrementally used in heart valve replacement fail to sustain the expected durability due to thrombosis, poor endothelialization, inflammation, calcification, and especially mechanical damage induced biocompatibility change. No effective strategy has been reported to conserve the biological properties of BHV after long-term fatigue test. Here, a double-network tough hydrogel is introduced, which interpenetrate and anchor into the matrix of decellularized porcine pericardium (dCell-PP) to form robust and stable conformal coatings and reduce immunogenicity. The ionic crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) network mimics the glycocalyx on endothelium which improves antithrombosis and accelerates endothelialization; the chemical crosslinked hydrophilic polyacrylamide (PAAm) network further enhances antifouling properties and strengthens the shielding hydrogels and their interaction with dCell-PP. In vitro and rabbit ex vivo shunt assay demonstrate great hemocompatibility of polyacrylamide/HA hydrogel hybrid PP (P/H-PP). Cell experiments and rat subcutaneous implantation confirm satisfactory endothelialization, biocompatibility, and anticalcification properties. For hydrodynamic experiment, P/H-PP gains full mark at different flow conditions and sustains excellent biomechanical and biological properties after 200 000 000 cycles. P/H double-network hydrogel armoring dCell-PP is a promising progress to extend BHV durability for clinical implantation therapy.

Abstract
Liver transplantation is currently the only effective treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease; however, donor liver scarcity is a notable concern. As a result, extensive endeavors have been made to diversify the source of donor livers. For example, the use of a decellularized scaffold in liver engineering has gained considerable attention in recent years. The decellularized scaffold preserves the original orchestral structure and bioactive chemicals of the liver, and has the potential to create a de novo liver that is fit for transplantation after recellularization. The structure of the liver and hepatic extracellular matrix, decellularization, recellularization, and recent developments are discussed in this review. Additionally, the criteria for assessment and major obstacles in using a decellularized scaffold are covered in detail.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, α-Gal epitope-deficient (GGTA1 knockout (GTKO)) mice were used to assess the immunological risks of xenogeneic dural patch by comparing with raw material. METHODS The xenogeneic dural patch (T2) was prepared from bovine pericardium (T1, raw material) through decellularization and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) coating. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize the collagen fibers and surface microstructural changes in the T1 and T2 samples. The remnant α-Gal epitopes and DNA of implants were detected by standardized method. T1 and T2 were implanted subcutaneously into GTKO mice for 4 and 12 weeks, respectively, and the negative control group (Con) was only performed sham operation. The total serum antibody, anti-Gal antibody, and splenic lymphocyte subtypes were analyzed by ELISA or flow cytometry, and histological analysis of implant-tissue was performed by H&E and Masson stain. RESULTS TEM and Sirius red staining showed that the collagen fibers in the dural patch were closely arranged, and SEM showed that a loose three-dimensional structure was successfully constructed on the surface of the dural patch after CMCS coating. The remnant DNA in T2 was 24.64 ± 8.73 ng/mg (dry weight), and clearance of α-Gal epitope was up to 99.83% compared to T1. The significant increases in serum total IgM, anti-Gal IgG, and anti-Gal IgM at 4 weeks and the significant changes in anti-Gal IgG and spleen lymphocyte at 12 weeks were observed in the T1 group, but no significant change was observed in the T2 group, compared to the control group. Histological semiquantitative analysis showed severe cell and tissue responses at 4 weeks and a moderate response at 12 weeks in the T1 group, while a moderate response at 4 weeks and a slight response at 12 weeks in the T2 group. CONCLUSIONS The results demonstrated that the xenogeneic dural patch has a lower and acceptable immunological risk compared to the raw material and control, respectively. On the other hand, it was suggested that GTKO mice are useful experimental model for immunological risk assessment of animal tissue-derived biomaterials.

Abstract
The central nervous system (CNS), consisting of the brain and spinal cord, regulates the mind and functions of the organs. CNS diseases, leading to changes in neurological functions in corresponding sites and causing long-term disability, represent one of the major public health issues with significant clinical and economic burdens worldwide. In particular, the abnormal changes in the extracellular matrix under various disease conditions have been demonstrated as one of the main factors that can alter normal cell function and reduce the neuroregeneration potential in damaged tissue. Decellularised extracellular matrix (dECM)-based biomaterials have been recently utilised for CNS applications, closely mimicking the native tissue. dECM retains tissue-specific components, including proteoglycan as well as structural and functional proteins. Due to their unique composition, these biomaterials can stimulate sensitive repair mechanisms associated with CNS damages. Herein, we discuss the decellularisation of the brain and spinal cord as well as recellularisation of acellular matrix and the recent progress in the utilisation of brain and spinal cord dECM.

Abstract
The immune system has a crucial role in skin wound healing and the application of specific cell-laden immunomodulating biomaterials emerged as a possible treatment option to drive skin tissue regeneration. Cell-laden tissue-engineered skin substitutes have the ability to activate immune pathways, even in the absence of other immune-stimulating signals. In particular, mesenchymal stem cells with their immunomodulatory properties can create a specific immune microenvironment to reduce inflammation, scarring, and support skin regeneration. This review presents an overview of current wound care techniques including skin tissue engineering and biomaterials as a novel and promising approach. We highlight the plasticity and different roles of immune cells, in particular macrophages during various stages of skin wound healing. These aspects are pivotal to promote the regeneration of nonhealing wounds such as ulcers in diabetic patients. We believe that a better understanding of the intrinsic immunomodulatory features of stem cells in implantable skin substitutes will lead to new translational opportunities. This, in turn, will improve skin tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.

Abstract
Chronic ulcerative and hard-healing wounds are a growing global concern. Skin substitutes, including acellular dermal matrices (ADMs), have shown beneficial effects in healing processes. Presently, the vast majority of currently available ADMs are processed from xenobiotic or cadaveric skin. Here we propose a novel strategy for ADM preparation from human abdominoplasty-derived skin. Skin was processed using three different methods of decellularization involving the use of ionic detergent (sodium dodecyl sulfate; SDS, in hADM 1), non-ionic detergent (Triton X-100 in hADM 2), and a combination of recombinant trypsin and Triton X-100 (in hADM 3). We next evaluated the immunogenicity and immunomodulatory properties of this novel hADM by using an in vitro model of peripheral blood mononuclear cell culture, flow cytometry, and cytokine assays. We found that similarly sourced but differentially processed hADMs possess distinct immunogenicity. hADM 1 showed no immunogenic effects as evidenced by low T cell proliferation and no significant change in cytokine profile. In contrast, hADMs 2 and 3 showed relatively higher immunogenicity. Moreover, our novel hADMs exerted no effect on T cell composition after three-day of coincubation. However, we observed significant changes in the composition of monocytes, indicating their maturation toward a phenotype possessing anti-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic properties. Taken together, we showed here that abdominoplasty skin is suitable for hADM manufacturing. More importantly, the use of SDS-based protocols for the purposes of dermal matrix decellularization allows for the preparation of non-immunogenic scaffolds with high therapeutic potential. Despite these encouraging results, further studies are needed to evaluate the beneficial effects of our hADM 1 on deep and hard-healing wounds.

Abstract
Regeneration of large acute and chronic wounds is a concern worldwide. The present study evaluates wound healing competence of a completely human-origin, extracellular matrix (ECM)-based skin substitute/graft. It comprises cell-less amniotic membrane (AM), clinical-grade fibrin (FIB), and hyaluronic acid (HA) termed as AMFIBHA. The use of large-area third-degree rabbit burn wounds evaluated the product efficiency. The AMFIBHA induces hemostasis and permits suture-less positioning on the wound bed. In wet wounds, the AMFIBHA degrades and release biologically active molecules and guide cell migration, proliferation, and regeneration. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of this wound care product in terms of epithelial-dermal regeneration with angiogenesis. The study assessed injury-associated inflammation and different wound healing markers after 28 days of experiment and compared with both positive and negative controls-treated wounds. The regeneration of mature epidermis and dermis with rete pegs and hair follicle-like structure was evident upon a single application. The active involvement of host cells resulted in supple tissue formation. The ECM organization of AMFIBHA-treated tissue resulted in re-gain of mechanical properties comparable to native skin after 56 days. These guided regenerative outcomes reveal a promising translational value of the novel AMFIBHA skin substitute as an off-the-shelf product for clinical use.

Abstract
Colonization of distant organs by tumor cells is a critical step of cancer progression. The initial avascular stage of this process (micrometastasis) remains almost inaccessible to study due to the lack of relevant experimental approaches. Herein, we introduce an in vitro/in vivo model of organ-specific micrometastases of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that is fully implemented in a cost-efficient chick embryo (CE) experimental platform. The model was built as three-dimensional (3D) tissue engineering constructs (TECs) combining human MDA-MB-231 cells and decellularized CE organ-specific scaffolds. TNBC cells colonized CE organ-specific scaffolds in 2–3 weeks, forming tissue-like structures. The feasibility of this methodology for basic cancer research, drug development, and nanomedicine was demonstrated on a model of hepatic micrometastasis of TNBC. We revealed that MDA-MB-231 differentially colonize parenchymal and stromal compartments of the liver-specific extracellular matrix (LS-ECM) and become more resistant to the treatment with molecular doxorubicin (Dox) and Dox-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles than in monolayer cultures. When grafted on CE chorioallantoic membrane, LS-ECM-based TECs induced angiogenic switch. These findings may have important implications for the diagnosis and treatment of TNBC. The methodology established here is scalable and adaptable for pharmacological testing and cancer biology research of various metastatic and primary tumors.

Abstract
Given the incidence of corneal dysfunctions and diseases worldwide and the limited availability of healthy, human donors, investigators are working to generate engineered cellular and acellular therapeutic approaches as alternatives to corneal transplants from human cadavers. These engineered strategies aim to address existing complications with human corneal transplants, including graft rejection, infection, and complications resulting from surgical methodologies. The main goals of these research endeavors are to (1) determine ideal mechanical properties, (2) devise methodologies to improve the efficacy of engineered corneal grafts and cell-based therapies, and (3) optimize transplantation of engineered tissue structures in the eye. Thus, recent innovations have sought to address these challenges through both in vitro and in vivo studies. This review covers recent work aimed at evaluating engineered materials, potential therapeutic cells, and the resulting cell-material interactions that lead to optimal corneal graft properties. Furthermore, we discuss promising strategies in corneal tissue engineering techniques and in vivo studies in animal models.

Decellularized tendon matrix membranes prevent post-surgical tendon adhesion and promote functional repair. Acta Biomater 2021; 134:160-176.

Abstract
Adhesion often occurs after tendon injury, and results in sliding disorder and movement limitation with no ideal solution for it in clinic. In this study, an anti-adhesion membrane, i.e., decellularized tendon matrix (DTM) for tendon is successfully prepared by an optimized tendon decellularization method from homologous extracellular matrix. Microsection technology has been used to optimize the method of decellularization in order to better preserve the bioactive components in tissues and reduce the chemical reagent residues on the premise of effective decellularization with relatively shorter time and less reagents for decellularization. The physic-chemical properties and biological functions of DTM are evaluated, and high-throughput and high-precision tandem mass tags (TMT) labeling proteomics technology is used to analyze protein components of DTM, which may provide the scientific support for application of the innovative product. In vitro biosafety tests show that DTM not only is non-toxic but also promote cell proliferation. Subcutaneous implantation test confirms that DTM is completely degraded after 12 weeks and there is no obvious inflammatory reaction. The results of Achilles tendon repair in rabbits show that DTM can not only prevent tendon adhesion but also improve the quality of tendon repair, which demonstrates its tremendous application potential. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: There is no ideal solution for adhesion after tendon injury. In this study, a dense tendon anti-adhesion membrane (DTM) was successfully prepared from homologous extracellular matrix (ECM). This DTM could effectively retain bioactive ingredients, and prevent adhesion as well as improve the quality of tendon repair in vivo. An optimized decellularization method was used which could effectively decellularize tendon in a short time, better preserve bioactive components, and reduce reagent residues. For the first time, high-throughput and high-precision tandem mass tags (TMT) labeling proteomics technology was used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the protein composition of fresh tendon, acellular tendon and DTM, which provided not only scientific support for the application of DTM, but also comprehensive and accurate data support for related research of bovine tendons and decellularization.

Abstract
With all the advances in tissue engineering for construction of fully functional skin tissue, complete regeneration of chronic wounds is still challenging. Since immune reaction to the tissue damage is critical in regulating both the quality and duration of chronic wound healing cascade, strategies to modulate the immune system are of importance. Generally, in response to an injury, macrophages switch from pro-inflammatory to an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Therefore, controlling macrophages' polarization has become an appealing approach in regenerative medicine. Recently, hydrogels-based constructs, incorporated with various cellular and molecular signals, have been developed and utilized to adjust immune cell functions in various stages of wound healing. Here, the current state of knowledge on immune cell functions during skin tissue regeneration is first discussed. Recent advanced technologies used to design immunomodulatory hydrogels for controlling macrophages' polarization are then summarized. Rational design of hydrogels for providing controlled immune stimulation via hydrogel chemistry and surface modification, as well as incorporation of cell and molecules, are also dicussed. In addition, the effects of hydrogels' properties on immunogenic features and the wound healing process are summarized. Finally, future directions and upcoming research strategies to control immune responses during chronic wound healing are highlighted.

Abstract
Reconstruction of skin defects is often a challenging effort due to the currently limited reconstructive options. In this sense, tissue engineering has emerged as a possible alternative to replace or repair diseased or damaged tissues from the patient's own cells. A substantial number of tissue-engineered skin substitutes (TESSs) have been conceived and evaluated in vitro and in vivo showing promising results in the preclinical stage. However, only a few constructs have been used in the clinic. The lack of standardization in evaluation methods employed may in part be responsible for this discrepancy. This review covers the most well-known and up-to-date methods for evaluating the optimization of new TESSs and orientative guidelines for the evaluation of TESSs are proposed.

Abstract
We developed hybrid liver-specific three-dimensional (3D) printed scaffolds using a solubilized native decellularized liver (DCL) matrix and silk fibroin (SF) and investigated their ability to support functional cultures of hepatic cells. Rat livers were decellularized by perfusing detergents via the portal vein, solubilized using pepsin to form DCL, and characterized. SF blended with gelatin (8% w/v) was optimized with varying percentages of DCL to obtain silk gelatin-DCL bioink (SG-DCL). Different compositions of SG-DCL were studied by rheology for optimum versatility and print fidelity. 3D printed six-layered scaffolds were fabricated using a sophisticated direct-write 3D bioprinter. Huh7 cells were cultured on the 3D printed scaffolds for 3 weeks. 3D printed SG scaffolds without DCL along with 2D films (SG and SG-DCL) and 2D culture on tissue culture Petri dish control were used for comparative studies. The DCL matrix showed the absence of cells in histology and SEM. The combined SG-DCL ink at all of the studied DCL percentages (1-10%) revealed shear-thinning behavior in the printable range. The storage modulus value for the SG-DCL ink at all DCL percentages was higher than the loss modulus. In comparison to 2D controls, hepatic cells cultured on 3D SG-DCL revealed increased proliferation until 2 weeks and an upregulated expression of hepatocyte markers, including asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1). The Wnt pathway gene β-catenin was upregulated by more than 4-fold in 3D SG-DCL on day 3, while it showed a decline on day 7 as compared to 3D SG and also 2D controls. The expression of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) was however lower in both 2D SG-DCL (2-fold) and 3D SG-DCL (2.5-fold) as compared to that in 2D controls. Immunofluorescence studies validated the protein expression of ASGR1 in 3D SG-DCL. Albumin (ALB) was not identified on SG scaffolds but prominently expressed in 3D SG-DCL constructs. In comparison to 2D SG, both ALB (1.8-fold) and urea (5-fold) were enhanced in cells cultured on 3D SG-DCL on day 7 of culture. Hence, the SG-DCL 3D printed scaffolds provide a conducive microenvironment for elevating differentiation and functions of hepatic cells possibly through an involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

Decellularised Human Umbilical Artery as a Vascular Graft Elicits Minimal Pro-Inflammatory Host Response Ex Vivo and In Vivo. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22157981. [PMID: 34360744 PMCID: PMC8347020 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22157981] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/29/2021] [Revised: 07/17/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Small diameter (<6 mm) vessel grafts still pose a challenge for scientists worldwide. Decellularised umbilical artery (dUA) remains promising as small diameter tissue engineered vascular graft (TEVG), yet their immunogenicity remains unknown. Herein, we evaluated the host immune responses, with a focus on the innate part, towards human dUA implantation in mice, and confirmed our findings in an ex vivo allogeneic human setup. Overall, we did not observe any differences in the number of circulating white blood cells nor the number of monocytes among three groups of mice (1) dUA patch; (2) Sham; and (3) Mock throughout the study (day -7 to 28). Likewise, we found no difference in systemic inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine levels between groups. However, a massive local remodelling response with M2 macrophages were observed in the dUA at day 28, whereas M1 macrophages were less frequent. Moreover, human monocytes from allogeneic individuals were differentiated into macrophages and exposed to lyophilised dUA to maximize an eventual M1 response. Yet, dUA did not elicit any immediate M1 response as determined by the absence of CCR7 and CXCL10. Together this suggests that human dUA elicits a minimal pro-inflammatory response further supporting its use as a TEVG in an allogeneic setup.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal system is a vital body system that protects internal organs, supports locomotion, and maintains homeostatic function. Unfortunately, musculoskeletal disorders are the leading cause of disability worldwide. Although implant surgeries using autografts, allografts, and xenografts have been conducted, several adverse effects, including donor site morbidity and immunoreaction, exist. To overcome these limitations, various biomedical engineering approaches have been proposed based on an understanding of the complexity of human musculoskeletal tissue. In this review, the leading edge of musculoskeletal tissue engineering using 3D bioprinting technology and musculoskeletal tissue-derived decellularized extracellular matrix bioink is described. In particular, studies on in vivo regeneration and in vitro modeling of musculoskeletal tissue have been focused on. Lastly, the current breakthroughs, limitations, and future perspectives are described.

Abstract
An imbalance exists between the supply of organs for transplantation and the number of patients in the donor transplant waiting lists. Current use of autologous, synthetic, and animal-derived grafts for tissue replacement is limited by the low availability, poor biocompatibility, and high cost. Decellularized plant scaffolds with remarkable physical similarities to human organs have recently emerged and have been found to present favorable characteristics that make them suitable as an alternative biomaterial, such as a superficial surface area, excellent water transport and retention, pre-existing vascular networks, interconnected porosity, and a wide range of mechanical properties. In addition to their unique and superior biocompatibility, plant-derived scaffolds present the advantages of low production cost, no ethical or supply constraints, simple operation and suitability for large-scale production and research. However, there are still some problems and deficiencies in this field, such as immature decellularization standards and methods, insufficient research on the biocompatibility of plant extracellular matrix. At present, research on decellularized plant extracellular matrix is still in its infancy, and its applicability to tissue engineering needs to be further improved. In this review, the current research progress on decellularized plant scaffolds is reviewed, the problems to be solved and future research directions are discussed.
