[PMID: 38872979 PMCID: PMC11169082 DOI: 10.1016/j.reth.2024.05.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
Compared to bioactive glass 45S5, bioactive glass 1393 has shown greater potential in activating tissue cells and promoting angiogenesis for bone repair. Nevertheless, the effect of bioactive glass 1393 in the context of wound healing remains extensively unexplored, and its mechanism in wound healing remains unclear. Considering that angiogenesis is a critical stage in wound healing, we hypothesize that bioactive glass 1393 may facilitate wound healing through the stimulation of angiogenesis. To validate this hypothesis and further explore the mechanisms underlying its pro-angiogenic effects, we investigated the impact of bioactive glass 1393 on wound healing angiogenesis through both in vivo and in vitro studies. The research demonstrated that bioactive glass 1393 accelerated wound healing by promoting the formation of granulation, deposition of collagen, and angiogenesis. The results of Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence staining revealed that bioactive glass 1393 up-regulated the expression of angiogenesis-related factors. Additionally, bioactive glass 1393 inhibited the expression of ROS and P53 to promote angiogenesis. Furthermore, bioactive glass 1393 stimulated angiogenesis through the P53 signaling pathway, as evidenced by P53 activation assays. Collectively, these findings indicate that bioactive glass 1393 accelerates wound healing by promoting angiogenesis via the ROS/P53/MMP9 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a versatile technique for fabricating polymeric fibers with diameters ranging from micro- to nanoscale, exhibiting multiple morphologies and arrangements. By combining silk fibroin (SF) with synthetic and/or natural polymers, electrospun materials with outstanding biological, chemical, electrical, physical, mechanical, and optical properties can be achieved, fulfilling the evolving biomedical demands. This review highlights the remarkable versatility of SF-derived electrospun materials, specifically focusing on their application in tissue regeneration (including cartilage, cornea, nerves, blood vessels, bones, and skin), disease treatment (such as cancer and diabetes), and the development of controlled drug delivery systems. Additionally, we explore the potential future trends in utilizing these nanofibrous materials for creating intelligent biomaterials, incorporating biosensors and wearable sensors for monitoring human health, and also discuss the bottlenecks for its widespread use. This comprehensive overview illuminates the significant impact and exciting prospects of SF-derived electrospun materials in advancing biomedical research and applications.

Abstract
Sericin and egg white (EW) have shown the ability to promote wound healing. However, there have been insufficient studies regarding the effects of sericin and EW mixtures on wound healing. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a hybrid sericin and EW solution on wound repair and inflammation-related indicators in mouse skin. In this work, sericin with a low molecular weight was first mixed with homogeneous EW to prepare a hybrid wound dressing. Histology evaluation, the expression of C-reactive protein (CRP) and inflammatory cytokines in mice were tested to determine the effects of this dressing on skin injuries in mice. The results showed that sericin and the hybrid solution of sericin and EW effectively promoted wound healing in mouse skin. The wound recovery rates of mice 12 days after treatment with a medium dose of sericin (0.2 g ml-1) and the same dosage of sericin with added EW were 1.32 and 1.65 times that of mice treated with phosphate buffer saline as a control, respectively. In addition, the mixture solution was more effective in wound healing than sericin alone. Sericin with EW significantly reduced the expression of CRP and inflammatory cytokines in mice during wound healing. A sericin and EW hybrid solution can effectively shorten the time needed for wound healing and reduce inflammation-related indicators in mice, making it a promising candidate for wound dressing.

Abstract
Increasing evidence suggests that the chronicity of wounds is associated with the presence of bacterial biofilms. Therefore, novel wound care products are being developed, which can inhibit biofilm formation and/or treat already formed biofilms. A lack of standardized assays for the analysis of such novel antibacterial drug delivery systems enhances the need for appropriate tools and models for their characterization. Herein, we demonstrate that optimized and biorelevant in vitro and ex vivo wound infection and biofilm models offer a convenient approach for the testing of novel antibacterial wound dressings for their antibacterial and antibiofilm properties, allowing one to obtain qualitative and quantitative results. The in vitro model was developed using an electrospun (ES) thermally crosslinked gelatin-glucose (GEL-Glu) matrix and an ex vivo wound infection model using pig ear skin. Wound pathogens were used for colonization and biofilm development on the GEL-Glu matrix or pig skin with superficial burn wounds. The in vitro model allowed us to obtain more reproducible results compared with the ex vivo model, whereas the ex vivo model had the advantage that several pathogens preferred to form a biofilm on pig skin compared with the GEL-Glu matrix. The in vitro model functioned poorly for Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm formation, but it worked well for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, which were able to use the GEL-Glu matrix as a nutrient source and not only as a surface for biofilm growth. On the other hand, all tested pathogens were equally able to produce a biofilm on the surface of pig skin. The developed biofilm models enabled us to compare different ES dressings [pristine and chloramphenicol-loaded polycaprolactone (PCL) and PCL-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) (PCL/PEO) dressings] and understand their biofilm inhibition and treatment properties on various pathogens. Furthermore, we show that biofilms were formed on the wound surface as well as on a wound dressing, indicating that the demonstrated methods mimic well the in vivo situation. Colony forming unit (CFU) counting and live biofilm matrix as well as bacterial DNA staining together with microscopic imaging were performed for biofilm quantification and visualization, respectively. The results showed that both wound biofilm models (in vitro and ex vivo) enabled the evaluation of the desired antibiofilm properties, thus facilitating the design and development of more effective wound care products and screening of various formulations and active substances.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) utilizes a special mix of scaffolds, cells, and bioactive factors to regulate the microenvironment of bone regeneration and form a three-dimensional bone simulation structure to regenerate bone tissue. Silk fibroin (SF) is perhaps the most encouraging material for BTE given its tunable mechanical properties, controllable biodegradability, and excellent biocompatibility. Numerous studies have confirmed the significance of SF for stimulating bone formation. In this review, we start by introducing the structure and characteristics of SF. After that, the immunological mechanism of SF for osteogenesis is summarized, and various forms of SF biomaterials and the latest development prospects of SF in BTE are emphatically introduced. Biomaterials based on SF have great potential in bone tissue engineering, and this review will serve as a resource for future design and research.

Abstract
The application of nanomaterials for their antibacterial properties is the subject of many studies due to antibiotic resistance of pathogen bacteria and the necessity of omitting them from food and water resources. Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most popular candidates for antibacterial application. However, the optimum condition for such an effect is not yet clear for practical purposes. To shed light on how GO and bacteria interaction depends on size, a wide range of GO flake sizes from hundreds of µm2going down to nano-scale as low as 10 N m2was produced. In anin-vitrosystematic study to inhibitStaphylococcus aureusgrowth, the correlation between GO flake size, thickness, functional group density, and antibacterial activity was investigated. The GO suspension with the average size of 0.05 µm2, in the order of the size of the bacteria itself, had the best bacteriostatic effect onS. aureuswith the minimum inhibitory concentration value of 8 μg ml-1, well within the acceptable range for practical use. The bacteriostatic effect was measured to be a 76.2% reduction of the colony count over 2 h of incubation and the mechanism of action was the wrapping and isolation of cells from the growth environment. Furthermore,in-vivoanimal studies revealed that 16 μg ml-1of the optimum GO has efficient antibacterial performance against the methicillin-resistant strains of the bacteria with an enhanced wound healing rate and tensiometrial parameters which is important for realized targets.

Abstract
As a functional biomaterial, silk fibroin has been widely used in drug release, cell encapsulation and tissue regeneration. To meet the requirements of these applications, the properties of silk fibroin-based materials should be finely tunable. Many useful properties of biomaterials emerge from the collective interactions among ordered and disordered domains. Thus, increasing subtle control of silk hierarchical structures is required. As a characteristic of ordered silk fibroin, crystalline silk fibroin (CSF) is an important part of silk fibroin-based biomaterials, but the preparation of CSF solution, especially high concentration CSF solution, remains a challenge. Here, a solution composed of β-sheet-rich silk fibroin is reported. These CSF were obtained by the sonication of silk fibroin hydrogel, destroying the hydrogel network, and turning silk fibroin hydrogels into CSF solution. These β-sheet-rich CSF solutions were stable enough for several days or even weeks. In addition, they were typically ordered crystalline domains, which could be mixed with disordered domains and fabricated into porous scaffolds, films, hydrogels and other silk fibroin-based scaffolds with different properties.
