Abstract
The current study focuses on the incorporation of natural polymers (gelatin, silk fibre) and synthetic (polyvinyl alcohol) polymer towards the fabrication of a novel composite for bone tissue engineering. The Electrospinning method was used to fabricate the novel gelatin/polyvinyl alcohol/silk fibre scaffold. XRD, FTIR and SEM-EDAX analysis was performed to characterize the composite. The characterized composite was investigated for its physical properties (porosity and mechanical studies) and biological studies (antimicrobial activity, hemocompatibility, bioactivity). The fabricated composite showed high porosity and the highest tensile strength of 34 MPa, with elongation at a break of 35.82 for the composite. The antimicrobial activity of the composite was studied and the zone of inhibition was measured around 51 ± 0.54 for E. coli, 48 ± 0.48 for S. aureus and 50 ± 0.26 for C. albicans. The hemolytic % was noted around 1.36 for the composite and the bioactivity assay revealed the formation of apatite on composite surfaces.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a highly prevalent disease worldwide that leads to cartilage loss. Tissue engineering, involving scaffolds, cells, and stimuli, has shown to be a promising strategy for its repair. Thus, this study aims to manufacture and characterise different scaffolds with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) with commercial cellulose (microcrystalline (McC) and methyl cellulose (MC) or cellulose from agro-industrial residues (corncob (CcC)) and at different percentages, 1%, 2%, and 3%. PCL scaffolds were used as a control. Morphologically, the produced scaffolds presented porosities within the desired for cell incorporation (57% to 65%). When submitted to mechanical tests, the incorporation of cellulose affects the compression resistance of the majority of scaffolds. Regarding tensile strength, McC2% showed the highest values. It was proven that all manufactured scaffolds suffered degradation after 7 days of testing because of enzymatic reactions. This degradation may be due to the dissolution of PCL in the organic solvent. Biological tests revealed that PCL, CcC1%, and McC3% are the best materials to combine with human dental pulp stem/stromal cells. Overall, results suggest that cellulose incorporation in PCL scaffolds promotes cellular adhesion/proliferation. Methyl cellulose scaffolds demonstrated some advantageous compressive properties (closer to native cartilaginous tissue) to proceed to further studies for application in cartilage repair.

Abstract
Natural bone constitutes a complex and organized structure of organic and inorganic components with limited ability to regenerate and restore injured tissues, especially in large bone defects. To improve the reconstruction of the damaged bones, tissue engineering has been introduced as a promising alternative approach to the conventional therapeutic methods including surgical interventions using allograft and autograft implants. Bioengineered composite scaffolds consisting of multifunctional biomaterials in combination with the cells and bioactive therapeutic agents have great promise for bone repair and regeneration. Cellulose and its derivatives are renewable and biodegradable natural polymers that have shown promising potential in bone tissue engineering applications. Cellulose-based scaffolds possess numerous advantages attributed to their excellent properties of non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, availability through renewable resources, and the low cost of preparation and processing. Furthermore, cellulose and its derivatives have been extensively used for delivering growth factors and antibiotics directly to the site of the impaired bone tissue to promote tissue repair. This review focuses on the various classifications of cellulose-based composite scaffolds utilized in localized bone drug delivery systems and bone regeneration, including cellulose-organic composites, cellulose-inorganic composites, cellulose-organic/inorganic composites. We will also highlight the physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of the different cellulose-based scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
It remains a big challenge in clinical practice to repair large-sized bone defects and many factors limit the application of autografts and allografts, The application of exogenous scaffolds is an alternate strategy for bone regeneration, among which the silk fibroin (SF) scaffold is a promising candidate. Due to the advantages of excellent biocompatibility, satisfying mechanical property, controllable biodegradability and structural adjustability, SF scaffolds exhibit great potential in bone regeneration with the help of well-designed structures, bioactive components and functional surface modification. This review will summarize the cell and tissue interaction with SF scaffolds, techniques to fabricate SF-based scaffolds and modifications of SF scaffolds to enhance osteogenesis, which will provide a deep and comprehensive insight into SF scaffolds and inspire the design and fabrication of novel SF scaffolds for superior osteogenic performance. However, there still needs more comprehensive efforts to promote better clinical translation of SF scaffolds, including more experiments in big animal models and clinical trials. Furthermore, deeper investigations are also in demand to reveal the degradation and clearing mechanisms of SF scaffolds and evaluate the influence of degradation products.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged as an important tool to fabricate scaffolds with complex structures for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. For extrusion-based 3D bioprinting, the success of printing complex structures relies largely on the properties of bioink. Methylcellulose (MC) has been exploited as a potential bioink for 3D bioprinting due to its temperature-dependent rheological properties. However, MC is highly soluble and has low structural stability at room temperature, making it suboptimal for 3D bioprinting applications. In this study, we report a one-step synthesis protocol for modifying MC with norbornene (MCNB), which serves as a new bioink for 3D bioprinting. MCNB preserves the temperature-dependent reversible sol-gel transition and readily reacts with thiol-bearing linkers through light-mediated step-growth thiol-norbornene photopolymerization. Furthermore, we rendered the otherwise inert MC network bioactive through facile conjugation of integrin-binding ligands (e.g. CRGDS) or via incorporating cell-adhesive and protease-sensitive gelatin-based macromer (e.g. GelNB). The adaptability of the new MCNB-based bioink offers an attractive option for diverse 3D bioprinting applications.

Abstract
Silk fibroin is a protein with intrinsic characteristics that make it a good candidate as a scaffold for tissue engineering. Recent works have enhanced its benefits by adding inorganic phases that interact with silk fibroin in different ways. A systematic review was performed in four databases to study the physicochemical and biological performance of silk fibroin nanocomposites. In the last decade, only 51 articles contained either in vitro cell culture models or in vivo tests. The analysis of such works resulted in their classification into the following scaffold types: particles, mats and textiles, films, hydrogels, sponge-like structures, and mixed conformations. From the physicochemical perspective, the inorganic phase imbued in silk fibroin nanocomposites resulted in better stability and mechanical performance. This review revealed that the inorganic phase may be associated with specific biological responses, such as neovascularisation, cell differentiation, cell proliferation, and antimicrobial and immunomodulatory activity. The study of nanocomposites as tissue engineering scaffolds is a highly active area mostly focused on bone and cartilage regeneration with promising results. Nonetheless, there are still many challenges related to their application in other tissues, a better understanding of the interaction between the inorganic and organic phases, and the associated biological response.
