POLYMER EDITION 2024; 35:799-822.

Abstract
Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) is considered important due to lack of repair of cartilaginous lesions and the absence of appropriate methods for treatment. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) printing and were then coated with fibrin (F) and acellular solubilized extracellular matrix (ECM). After extracting adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), 3D-printed scaffolds were characterized and compared to hydrogel groups. After inducing the chondrogenic differentiation in the presence of Piascledine and comparing it with TGF-β3 for 28 days, the expression of genes involved in chondrogenesis (AGG, COLII) and the expression of the hypertrophic gene (COLX) were examined by real-time PCR. The expression of proteins COLII and COLX was also determined by immunohistochemistry. Glycosaminoglycan was measured by toluidine blue staining. 3D-printed scaffolds clearly improved cell proliferation, viability, water absorption and compressive strength compared to the hydrogel groups. Moreover, the use of compounds such as ECM and Piascledine in the process of ADSCs chondrogenesis induction increased cartilage-specific markers and decreased the hypertrophic marker compared to TGF-β3. In Piascledine groups, the expression of COLL II protein, COLL II and Aggrecan genes, and the amount of glycosaminoglycan showed a significant increase in the PCL/F/ECM compared to the PCL and PCL/F groups.

Abstract
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is commonly used in orthopedic surgeries to fill the bone defects or fix the prostheses. These cements are usually containing amounts of a nonbioactive radiopacifying agent such as barium sulfate and zirconium dioxide, which does not have a good interface compatibility with PMMA, and the clumps formed from these materials can scratch metal counterfaces. In this work, graphene oxide encapsulated baghdadite (GOBgh) nanoparticles were applied as radiopacifying and bioactive agent in a PMMA bone cement containing 2 wt.% of vancomycin (VAN). The addition of 20 wt.% of GOBgh (GOBgh20) nanoparticles to PMMA powder caused a 33.6% increase in compressive strength and a 70.9% increase in elastic modulus compared to the Simplex® P bone cement, and also enhanced the setting properties, radiopacity, antibacterial activity, and the apatite formation in simulated body fluid. In vitro cell assessments confirmed the increase in adhesion and proliferation of MG-63 cells as well as the osteogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the surface of PMMA-GOBgh20 cement. The chorioallantoic membrane assay revealed the excellent angiogenesis activity of nanocomposite cement samples. In vivo experiments on a rat model also demonstrated the mineralization and bone integration of PMMA-GOBgh20 cement within four weeks. Based on the promising results obtained, PMMA-GOBgh20 bone cement is suggested as an optimal sample for use in orthopedic surgeries.

Abstract
In tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications, the utilization of bioactive materials has become a routine tool. The goal of tissue engineering is to create new organs and tissues by combining cell biology, materials science, reactor engineering, and clinical research. As part of the growth pattern for primary cells in an organ, backing material is frequently used as a supporting material. A porous three-dimensional (3D) scaffold can provide cells with optimal conditions for proliferating, migrating, differentiating, and functioning as a framework. Optimizing the scaffolds' structure and altering their surface may improve cell adhesion and proliferation. A keratin-based biomaterials platform has been developed as a result of discoveries made over the past century in the extraction, purification, and characterization of keratin proteins from hair and wool fibers. Biocompatibility, biodegradability, intrinsic biological activity, and cellular binding motifs make keratin an attractive biomaterial for tissue engineering scaffolds. Scaffolds for tissue engineering have been developed from extracted keratin proteins because of their capacity to self-assemble and polymerize into intricate 3D structures. In this review article, applications of keratin-based scaffolds in different tissues including bone, skin, nerve, and vascular are explained based on common methods of fabrication such as electrospinning, freeze-drying process, and sponge replication method.

Abstract
In the realm of modern medicine, tissue engineering and regeneration stands as a beacon of hope, offering the promise of restoring form and function to damaged or diseased organs and tissues. Central to this revolutionary field are biological macromolecules-nature's own blueprints for regeneration. The growing interest in bio-derived macromolecules and their composites is driven by their environmentally friendly qualities, renewable nature, minimal carbon footprint, and widespread availability in our ecosystem. Capitalizing on these unique attributes, specific composites can be tailored and enhanced for potential utilization in the realm of tissue engineering (TE). This review predominantly concentrates on the present research trends involving TE scaffolds constructed from polysaccharides, proteins and glycosaminoglycans. It provides an overview of the prerequisites, production methods, and TE applications associated with a range of biological macromolecules. Furthermore, it tackles the challenges and opportunities arising from the adoption of these biomaterials in the field of TE. This review also presents a novel perspective on the development of functional biomaterials with broad applicability across various biomedical applications.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 260:129407.

Abstract
The utilization of 3D printing has become increasingly common in the construction of composite scaffolds. In this study, magnetic mesoporous bioactive glass (MMBG) was incorporated into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) to construct extrusion-based 3D printed scaffold. After fabrication of the PHB/MMBG composite scaffolds, they were coated with chitosan (Cs) and chitosan/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Cs/MWCNTs) solutions utilizing deep coating method. FTIR was conducted to confirm the presence of Cs and MWCNTs on the scaffolds' surface. The findings of mechanical analysis illustrated that presence of Cs/MWCNTs on the composite scaffolds increases compressive young modulus significantly, from 16.5 to 42.2 MPa. According to hydrophilicity evaluation, not only MMBG led to decrease the contact angle of pure PHB but also scaffolds surface modification utilization of Cs and MWCNTs, the contact angle decreased significantly from 82.34° to 54.15°. Furthermore, investigation of cell viability, cell metabolism and inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) proved that the scaffolds not only do not stimulate the immune system, but also polarize macrophage cells from M1 phase to M2 phase. The present study highlights the suitability of 3D printed scaffold PHB/MMBG with Cs/MWCNTs coating for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
3D printing fabrication has become a dominant approach for the creation of tissue engineering constructs as it is accurate, fast, reproducible and can produce patient-specific templates. In this study, 3D printing is applied to create nanocomposite scaffold of polylactic acid (PLA)/hardystonite (HT)-graphene oxide (GO). GO is utilized as a coupling agent of alkaline treated HT nanoparticles within PLA matrix. The addition of HT-GO nanoparticles of up to 30 wt% to PLA matrix was found to increase the degradability from 7.33 ± 0.66 to 16.03 ± 1.47 % during 28 days. Also, the addition of 20 wt% of HT-GO nanoparticles to PLA scaffold (PLA/20HTGO sample) significantly increased the compressive strength (from 7.65 ± 0.86 to 14.66 ± 1.01 MPa) and elastic modulus (from 94.46 ± 18.03 to 189.15 ± 10.87 MPa). The apatite formation on the surface of nanocomposite scaffolds in simulated body fluid within 28 days confirmed the excellent bioactivity of nanocomposite scaffolds. The MG63 cell adhesion and proliferation and, also, the rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation were highly stimulated on the PLA/20HTGO scaffold. According to the sum of results obtained in the current study, the optimized PLA/20HTGO nanocomposite scaffold is highly promising for hard tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Hydrogels with long-term storage stability, controllable sustained-release properties, and biocompatibility have been garnering attention as carriers for drug/growth factor delivery in tissue engineering applications. Chitosan (CS)/Graphene Oxide (GO)/Hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)/β-glycerol phosphate (β-GP) hydrogel is capable of forming a 3D gel network at physiological temperature (37 °C), rendering it an excellent candidate for use as an injectable biomaterial. This work focused on an injectable thermo-responsive CS/GO/HEC/β-GP hydrogel, which was designed to deliver Atsttrin, an engineered derivative of a known chondrogenic and anti-inflammatory growth factor-like molecule progranulin. The combination of the CS/GO/HEC/β-GP hydrogel and Atsttrin provides a unique biochemical and biomechanical environment to enhance fracture healing. CS/GO/HEC/β-GP hydrogels with increased amounts of GO exhibited rapid sol-gel transition, higher viscosity, and sustained release of Atsttrin. In addition, these hydrogels exhibited a porous interconnected structure. The combination of Atsttrin and hydrogel successfully promoted chondrogenesis and osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) in vitro. Furthermore, the work also presented in vivo evidence that injection of Atsttrin-loaded CS/GO/HEC/β-GP hydrogel stimulated diabetic fracture healing by simultaneously inhibiting inflammatory and stimulating cartilage regeneration and endochondral bone formation signaling pathways. Collectively, the developed injectable thermo-responsive CS/GO/HEC/βG-P hydrogel yielded to be minimally invasive, as well as capable of prolonged and sustained delivery of Atsttrin, for therapeutic application in impaired fracture healing, particularly diabetic fracture healing.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has become an advanced approach for fabricating patient-specific scaffolds with complex geometric shapes to replace damaged or diseased tissue. Herein, polylactic acid (PLA)-Baghdadite (Bgh) scaffold were made through the fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing method and subjected to alkaline treatment. Following fabrication, the scaffolds were coated with either chitosan (Cs)-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) or lyophilized Cs-VEGF known as PLA-Bgh/Cs-VEGF and PLA-Bgh/L.(Cs-VEGF), respectively. Based on the results, it was found that the coated scaffolds had higher porosity, compressive strength and elastic modulus than PLA and PLA-Bgh samples. Also, the osteogenic differentiation potential of scaffolds following culture with rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) was evaluated through crystal violet and Alizarin-red staining, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium content assays, osteocalcin measurements, and gene expression analysis. The release of VEGF from the coated scaffolds was assessed and also the angiogenic potential of scaffolds was evaluated. The sum of results presented in the current study strongly suggests that the PLA-Bgh/L.(Cs-VEGF) scaffold can be a proper candidate for bone healing applications.

Abstract
Polymeric nanocomposite materials have great potential in the development of tissue-engineered scaffolds because they affect the structure and properties of polymeric materials and regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. In this work, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs) were incorporated into a chitosan (CS) film to improve the proliferation of multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The citrate-stabilized CeONPs with a negative ζ-potential (-25.0 mV) were precoated with CS to obtain positively charged particles (+20.3 mV) and to prevent their aggregation in the composite solution. The composite CS-CeONP films were prepared in the salt and basic forms using a dry-cast process. The films obtained in both forms were characterized by a uniform distribution of CeONPs. The incorporation of CeONPs into the salt form of CS increased the stiffness of the CS-CeONP film, while the subsequent conversion of the film to the basic form resulted in a decrease in both the Young's modulus and the yield stress. The redox activity (Ce4+ ⇌ Ce3+) of cerium oxide in the CS-CeONP film was confirmed by thermal oxidative degradation. In vitro culture of MSCs showed that the CS-CeONP film has good biocompatibility, and in vivo experiments demonstrated its substantial regenerative potential.

BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2022; 141:213082. [PMID: 36067641 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.213082] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is extracted from the blood without biochemical interference and, also, with the ability of a long-term release of growth factors that can stimulate tissue repair and regerenation. Here, leucocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and advanced platelet-rich fibrin (A-PRF) were extracted and utilized for the creation of nanofibers containing polyacrylamide (PAAm), PAAm / L-PRF and PAAm / A-PRP through electrospinning processing technique. The effect of the type of PRF on the physical, mechanical and biological properties of the resultant nanofiberous wound dressings are thoroughly evaluated. The results presented in the current study reveals that the fiber diameter is grealtly reduced through the utilization of L-PRF. In addition, mechanical property is also positively affected by L-PRF and the degradation rate is found to be higher compared to A-PRF group. The L929 cells proliferation and adhesion, angiogenesis potential and wound healing ability was significantly higher in PAAm/A-PRF nanofibers compared to pure PAAm and PAAm/L-PRF nanofibers owed to the release of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet derived growth factor (PDGF). Overall, the utilization of L-PRF or A-PRF can improve the physical, mechanical and biological behavior of nanofiber making them an ideal candidate for wound dressings, with the emphasis on the skin tissue repair and regeneration applications.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process in tissue regeneration through which the body responds to the dissipated cells as a result of any kind of severe injury. Diabetic and non-healing wounds are considered an unmet clinical need. Currently, different strategic approaches are widely used in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds which include, but are not limited to, tissue transplantation, cell therapy and wound dressings, and the use of an instrument. A large number of literatures have been published on this topic; however, the most effective clinical treatment remains a challenge. The wound dressing involves the use of a scaffold, usually using biomaterials for the delivery of medication, autologous stem cells, or growth factors from the blood. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs are also used to stop the infection as well as accelerate wound healing. With an increase in the ageing population leading to diabetes and associated cutaneous wounds, there is a great need to improve the current treatment strategies. This research critically reviews the current advancement in the therapeutic and clinical approaches for wound healing and tissue regeneration. The results of recent clinical trials suggest that the use of modern dressings and skin substitutes is the easiest, most accessible, and most cost-effective way to treat chronic wounds with advances in materials science such as graphene as 3D scaffold and biomolecules hold significant promise. The annual market value for successful wound treatment exceeds over $50 billion US dollars, and this will encourage industries as well as academics to investigate the application of emerging smart materials for modern dressings and skin substitutes for wound therapy.

Abstract
Every year, millions of people in the world get bone diseases and need orthopedic surgery as one of the most important treatments. Owing to their superior properties, such as acceptable biocompatibility and providing great primary bone fixation with the implant, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)-based bone cements (BCs) are among the essential materials as fixation implants in different orthopedic and trauma surgeries. On the other hand, these BCs have some disadvantages, including Lack of bone formation and bioactivity, and low mechanical properties, which can lead to bone cement (BC) failure. Hence, plenty of studies have been concentrating on eliminating BC failures by using different kinds of ceramics and polymers for reinforcement and also by producing composite materials. This review article aims to evaluate mechanical properties, self-setting characteristics, biocompatibility, and bioactivity of the PMMA-based BCs composites containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene oxide (GO), and carbon-based compounds. In the present study, we compared the effects of CNTs and GO as reinforcement agents in the PMMA-based BCs. Upcoming study on the PMMA-based BCs should concentrate on trialing combinations of these carbon-based reinforcing agents as this might improve beneficial characteristics.

Abstract
One of the most popular types of bone cements is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The properties of this bone cement have attracted many researchers effort to modify its properties. In this study, after preparation of chitosan (Cs) powder and Cs/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite powder, they were added homogeneously to the PMMA bone cement with different percentages. The results showed that the addition of 25 wt% of Cs/GO nanocomposite powder to the PMMA bone cement cause to increase the compressive strength by 16.2%, the compressive modulus by 69.1% and the bending strength by 24.0%. The obtained results showed that by adding Cs/GO nanocomposite powder to the PMMA bone cement, setting time and injectability were increased, maximum temperature was decreased and apatite-like deposition was increased after 4 weeks of incubation in SBF solution. The results of MG-63 cell culture confirmed the improvement of cell viability, growth and cell adhesion for 25 wt% PMMA-Cs/GO composite bone cement. Therefore, it can be concluded that 25 wt% PMMA-Cs/GO composite bone cement with improved mechanical, physical and biological properties can be a good replacement for common commercial bone cements in orthopedic applications.
