Abstract
Cartilage defects can be difficult to heal, potentially leading to complications such as osteoarthritis. Recently, a tissue engineering approach that uses scaffolds and growth factors has been proposed to regenerate new cartilage tissues. Herein, we investigated the application of hyaluronic acid (HA) gel loaded with transforming growth factor-beta 3 (TGF-β3) for enhanced cartilage regeneration. We assessed the clinical conditions required to efficiently enhance the ability of the modified HA gel to repair defective cartilage. Based on our findings, the prepared HA gel exhibited good physicochemical and mechanical properties and was non-toxic and non-inflammatory. Moreover, HA gel-loaded TGF-β3 (HAT) had improved biocompatibility and promoted the synthesis of cartilage-specific matrix and collagen, further improving its ability to repair defects. The application of HAT resulted in an initial burst release of HA, which degraded slowly in vivo. Finally, HAT combined with microfracture-inducing bone marrow stem cells could significantly improve the cartilage microenvironment and regeneration of cartilage defects. Our results indicate that HA is a suitable material for developing growth factor carriers, whereas HAT is a promising candidate for cartilage regeneration. Furthermore, this differentiated strategy provides a rapid and effective clinical approach for next-generation cartilage regeneration.

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.

Effects of Three-Dimensional Sodium Alginate Scaffold on Maturation and Developmental Gene Expressions in Fresh and Vitrified Preantral Follicles of Mice. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FERTILITY & STERILITY 2021; 15:167-177.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior to chemotherapy interventions, n vitroi maturation (IVM) of folliclesthrough vitrification can be used to help young people conserve their fertility. The aim of s tudy was to inves tigate effect of sodium alginat scaffold on follicles development and improvement of the culture medium. MATERIALS AND METHODS This experimental study was conducted on immature female BALB/c mice (12-14 days). Follicles were gathered mechanically and placed in α-Minimal Essential Medium (α-MEM) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Some pre-antral follicles were frozen. The fresh and vitrified follicles were cultured in different concentrations of sodium alginate (0.25%, 0.5%, and 1%) and two dimensional (2D) medium for 12 days. The samples were evaluated for viability percentage, the number of MII-phase oocytes and reactive oxygen specious (ROS) level. Additionally, Gdf9, Bmp15, Bmp7, Bmp4, Gpx, mnSOD and Gcs gene expressions were assessed in the samples. RESULTS The highest and lowest percentages of follicle viability and maturation in the fresh and vitrified groups were respectively 0.5% concentration and 2D culture. There was no significant difference among the concentrations of 0.25% and 1%. Viability and maturation of follicles showed a significant increase in the fresh groups in comparison with the vitrified groups. ROS levels in the both fresh and vitrified groups with different concentrations of alginate showed a significant decrease compared to the control group. ROS levels in follicles showed a significant decrease in the fresh groups in comparison with the vitrified groups (P≤0.0001). The highest gene expression levels were observed in the 0.5% alginate (P≤0.0001). Moreover, the viability percentage, follicle maturation, and gene expression levels were higher in the fresh groupsthan the vitrified groups (P≤0.0001). CONCLUSION Alginate hydrogel at a proper concentration of 5%, not only helps follicle get mature, but also promotes the expression of developmental genes and reducesthe level of intracellular ROS. Follicular vitrification decreases quality of the follicles, which are partially compensated using a three dimensional (3D) cell culture medium.

Abstract
Guided tissue/bone regeneration (GTR/GBR) is a widely used procedure in contemporary dentistry. To achieve the required results of tissue regeneration, soft tissues that reproduce quickly are separated from the slow-growing bone tissue by membranes. Many types of membranes are currently in use, but none of them fulfil all of the desired features. To address this issue, further research on developing new membranes with better separation characteristics, such as membrane modification, is needed. Many of the current innovative modified materials are still in the phase of in vitro and experimental studies. A collective review on new trends in membrane modification to GTR/GBR is needed due to the widespread use of polymeric membranes and the constant development in the field of dentistry. Therefore, the aim of this review was to present an overview of polymeric membrane modifications to the GTR/GBR reported in the literature. The authors searched databases, including PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and OVID, for relevant studies that were published during 1999-2019. The following keywords were used: guided tissue regeneration, membranes, coating, and modification. A total of 17 papers were included in this review. Furthermore, the articles were divided into three groups that were based on the type of membrane modification: antibiotic coating, ion-use modifications, and others modifications, thus providing an overview of current existing knowledge in the field and encouraging further research. The results of included studies on modified barrier membranes seem to be promising, both in terms of safety and benefits for patients. However, modifications result in a large spectrum of effects. Further clinical studies are needed on a large group of patients to clearly confirm the effects that were observed in animal and in vitro studies.

Abstract
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis worldwide. The incidence of this disease is rising and its treatment poses an economic burden. Two early targets of knee OA treatment include the predominant symptom of pain, and cartilage damage in the knee joint. Current treatments have been beneficial in treating the disease but none is as effective as total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, while TKA is an end-stage solution of the disease, it is an invasive and expensive procedure. Therefore, innovative regenerative engineering strategies should be established as these could defer or annul the need for a TKA. Several biomaterial and cell-based therapies are currently in development and have shown early promise in both preclinical and clinical studies. The use of advanced biomaterials and stem cells independently or in conjunction to treat knee OA could potentially reduce pain and regenerate focal articular cartilage damage. In this review, we discuss the pathogenesis of pain and cartilage damage in knee OA and explore novel treatment options currently being studied, along with some of their limitations.

Potential Biomedical Application of Enzymatically Treated Alginate/Chitosan Hydrosols in Sponges-Biocompatible Scaffolds Inducing Chondrogenic Differentiation of Human Adipose Derived Multipotent Stromal Cells.

Abstract
Current regenerative strategies used for cartilage repair rely on biomaterial functionality as a scaffold for cells that may have potential in chondrogenic differentiation. The purpose of the research was to investigate the biocompatibility of enzymatically treated alginate/chitosan hydrosol sponges and their suitability to support chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose derived multipotent stromal cells (hASCs). The alginate/chitosan and enzyme/alginate/chitosan sponges were formed from hydrosols with various proportions and were used as a biomaterial in this study. Sponges were tested for porosity and wettability. The porosity of each sponge was higher than 80%. An equal dose of alginate and chitosan in the composition of sponges improved their swelling ability. It was found that equal concentrations of alginate and chitosan in hydrosols sponges assure high biocompatibility properties that may be further improved by enzymatic treatment. Importantly, the high biocompatibility of these biomaterials turned out to be crucial in the context of hydrosols' pro-chondrogenic function. After exposure to the chondrogenic conditions, the hASCs in N/A/C and L/A/C sponges formed well developed nodules and revealed increased expression of collagen type II, aggrecan and decreased expression of collagen type I. Moreover, in these cultures, the reactive oxygen species level was lowered while superoxide dismutase activity increased. Based on the obtained results, we conclude that N/A/C and L/A/C sponges may have prospective application as hASCs carriers for cartilage repair.
