Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels is a widely used bioink because of its good biological properties and tunable physicochemical properties, which has been widely used in a variety of tissue engineering and tissue regeneration. However, pure GelMA is limited by the weak mechanical strength and the lack of continuous osteogenic induction environment, which is difficult to meet the needs of bone repair. Moreover, GelMA hydrogels are unable to respond to complex stimuli and therefore are unable to adapt to physiological and pathological microenvironments. This review focused on the functionalization strategies of GelMA hydrogel based bioinks for bone regeneration. The synthesis process of GelMA hydrogel was described in details, and various functional methods to meet the requirements of bone regeneration, including mechanical strength, porosity, vascularization, osteogenic differentiation, and immunoregulation for patient specific repair, etc. In addition, the response strategies of smart GelMA-based bioinks to external physical stimulation and internal pathological microenvironment stimulation, as well as the functionalization strategies of GelMA hydrogel to achieve both disease treatment and bone regeneration in the presence of various common diseases (such as inflammation, infection, tumor) are also briefly reviewed. Finally, we emphasized the current challenges and possible exploration directions of GelMA-based bioinks for bone regeneration.

Abstract
3D bioprinting is recognized as the ultimate additive biomanufacturing technology in tissue engineering and regeneration, augmented with intelligent bioinks and bioprinters to construct tissues or organs, thereby eliminating the stipulation for artificial organs. For 3D bioprinting of soft tissues, such as kidneys, hearts, and other human body parts, formulations of bioink with enhanced bioinspired rheological and mechanical properties were essential. Nanomaterials-based hybrid bioinks have the potential to overcome the above-mentioned problem and require much attention among researchers. Natural and synthetic nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene oxides, titanium oxides, nanosilicates, nanoclay, nanocellulose, etc. and their blended have been used in various 3D bioprinters as bioinks and benefitted enhanced bioprintability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. A limited number of articles were published, and the above-mentioned requirement pushed us to write this review. We reviewed, explored, and discussed the nanomaterials and nanocomposite-based hybrid bioinks for the 3D bioprinting technology, 3D bioprinters properties, natural, synthetic, and nanomaterial-based hybrid bioinks, including applications with challenges, limitations, ethical considerations, potential solution for future perspective, and technological advancement of efficient and cost-effective 3D bioprinting methods in tissue regeneration and healthcare.

Abstract
Synthetic extracellular matrix (ECM) mimics that can recapitulate the complex biochemical and mechanical nature of native tissues are needed for advanced models of development and disease. Biomedical research has heavily relied on the use of animal-derived biomaterials, which is now impeding their translational potential and convoluting the biological insights gleaned from in vitro tissue models. Natural hydrogels have long served as a convenient and effective cell culture tool, but advances in materials chemistry and fabrication techniques now present promising new avenues for creating xenogenic-free ECM substitutes appropriate for organotypic models and microphysiological systems. However, significant challenges remain in creating synthetic matrices that can approximate the structural sophistication, biochemical complexity, and dynamic functionality of native tissues. This review summarizes key properties of the native ECM, and discusses recent approaches used to systematically decouple and tune these properties in synthetic matrices. The importance of dynamic ECM mechanics, such as viscoelasticity and matrix plasticity, is also discussed, particularly within the context of organoid and engineered tissue matrices. Emerging design strategies to mimic these dynamic mechanical properties are reviewed, such as multi-network hydrogels, supramolecular chemistry, and hydrogels assembled from biological monomers.

Abstract
The microenvironment of bone defect site is vital for bone regeneration. Severe bone defect is often accompanied with severe inflammation and elevated generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) during bone repair. In recent years, the unfriendly local microenvironment has been paid more and more attention. Some bioactive materials with the ability to regulate the microenvironment to promote bone regeneration urgently need to be developed. Here, we develop a multifunctional composite hydrogel composed of photo-responsive methacrylate silk fibroin (SFMA), laponite (LAP) nanocomposite and tannic acid (TA), aiming to endow hydrogel with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and osteogenic induction ability. Characterization results confirmed that the SFMA-LAP@TA hydrogel could significantly improve the mechanical properties of hydrogel. The ROS-Scavenging ability of the hydrogel enabled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to survive against H2O2-induced oxidative stress. In addition, the SFMA-LAP@TA hydrogel effectively decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory factors in RAW264.7. More importantly, the SFMA-LAP@TA hydrogel could enhance the expression of osteogenic markers of BMSCs under inflammatory condition and greatly promote new bone formation in a critical-sized cranial defect model. Above all, the multifunctional hydrogel could effectively promote bone regeneration in vitro and in vivo by scavenging ROS and reducing inflammation, providing a prospective strategy for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Cell encapsulation within three-dimensional hydrogels is a promising approach to mimic tissues. However, true biomimicry of the intricate microenvironment, biophysical and biochemical gradients, and the macroscale hierarchical spatial organizations of native tissues is an unmet challenge within tissue engineering. This review provides an overview of the macromolecular chemistries that have been applied toward the design of cell-friendly hydrogels, as well as their application toward controlling biophysical and biochemical bulk and gradient properties of the microenvironment. Furthermore, biofabrication technologies provide the opportunity to simultaneously replicate macroscale features of native tissues. Biofabrication strategies are reviewed in detail with a particular focus on the compatibility of these strategies with the current macromolecular toolkit described for hydrogel design and the challenges associated with their clinical translation. This review identifies that the convergence of the ever-expanding macromolecular toolkit and technological advancements within the field of biofabrication, along with an improved biological understanding, represents a promising strategy toward the successful tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Tissue engineering for injured tissue replacement and regeneration has been a subject of investigation over the last 30 years, and there has been considerable interest in using additive manufacturing to achieve these goals. Despite such efforts, many key questions remain unanswered, particularly in the area of biomaterial selection for these applications as well as quantitative understanding of the process science. The strategic utilization of biological macromolecules provides a versatile approach to meet diverse requirements in 3D printing, such as printability, buildability, and biocompatibility. These molecules play a pivotal role in both physical and chemical cross-linking processes throughout the biofabrication, contributing significantly to the overall success of the 3D printing process. Among the several bioprintable materials, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) has been widely utilized for diverse tissue engineering applications, with some degree of success. In this context, this review will discuss the key bioengineering approaches to identify the gelation and cross-linking strategies that are appropriate to control the rheology, printability, and buildability of biomaterial inks. This review will focus on the GelMA as the structural (scaffold) biomaterial for different tissues and as a potential carrier vehicle for the transport of living cells as well as their maintenance and viability in the physiological system. Recognizing the importance of printability toward shape fidelity and biophysical properties, a major focus in this review has been to discuss the qualitative and quantitative impact of the key factors, including microrheological, viscoelastic, gelation, shear thinning properties of biomaterial inks, and printing parameters, in particular, reference to 3D extrusion printing of GelMA-based biomaterial inks. Specifically, we emphasize the different possibilities to regulate mechanical, swelling, biodegradation, and cellular functionalities of GelMA-based bio(material) inks, by hybridization techniques, including different synthetic and natural biopolymers, inorganic nanofillers, and microcarriers. At the close, the potential possibility of the integration of experimental data sets and artificial intelligence/machine learning approaches is emphasized to predict the printability, shape fidelity, or biophysical properties of GelMA bio(material) inks for clinically relevant tissues.

Abstract
The field of bone tissue engineering has seen significant advancements in recent years. Each year, over two million bone transplants are performed globally, and conventional treatments, such as bone grafts and metallic implants, have their limitations. Tissue engineering offers a new level of treatment, allowing for the creation of living tissue within a biomaterial framework. Recent advances in biomaterials have provided innovative approaches to rebuilding bone tissue function after damage. Among them, gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel is emerging as a promising biomaterial for supporting cell proliferation and tissue regeneration, and GelMA has exhibited exceptional physicochemical and biological properties, making it a viable option for clinical translation. Various methods and classes of additives have been used in the application of GelMA for bone regeneration, with the incorporation of nanofillers or other polymers enhancing its resilience and functional performance. Despite promising results, the fabrication of complex structures that mimic the bone architecture and the provision of balanced physical properties for both cell and vasculature growth and proper stiffness for load bearing remain as challenges. In terms of utilizing osteogenic additives, the priority should be on versatile components that promote angiogenesis and osteogenesis while reinforcing the structure for bone tissue engineering applications. This review focuses on recent efforts and advantages of GelMA-based composite biomaterials for bone tissue engineering, covering the literature from the last five years.

Abstract
Bone metastasis primarily occurs when breast, prostate, or lung cancers disseminate tumoral cells into bone tissue, leading to a range of complications in skeletal tissues and, in severe cases, paralysis resulting from spinal cord compression. Unfortunately, our understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms is incomplete and the translation of bone metastasis research into the clinic has been slow, mainly due to the lack of credible ex vivo and in vivo models to study the disease progression. Development of reliable and rational models to study how tumor cells become circulating cells and then invade and sequentially colonize the bone are in great need. Advances in tissue engineering technologies offers reliable 3D tissue alternatives which answer relevant research questions towards the understanding of cancer evolution and key functional properties of metastasis progression as well as prognosis of therapeutic approach. Here we performed an overview of cellular mechanisms involved in bone metastasis including a short summary of normal bone physiology and metastasis initiation and progression. Also, we comprehensively summarized current advances and methodologies in fabrication of reliable bone tumor models based on state-of-the-art printing technologies which recapitulate structural and biological features of native tissue. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: This review provides a comprehensive summary of the collective findings in relation to various printed bone metastasis models utilized for investigating specific bone metastasis diseases, related characteristic functions and chemotherapeutic drug screening. These tumoral models are comprehensively evaluated and compared, in terms of their ability to recapitulate physiological metastasis microenvironment. Various biomaterials (natural and synthetic polymers and ceramic based substrates) and printing strategies and design architecture of models used for printing of 3D bone metastasis models are discussed here. This review clearly out-lines current challenges and prospects for 3D printing technologies in bone metastasis research by focusing on the required perspective models for clinical application of these technologies in chemotherapeutic drug screening.

Abstract
Bone regeneration remains a clinical challenge given the transplantation incidence rate and the associated economic burden. Bottom-up osteoid tissue engineering has the potential to offer an alternative approach to current clinical solutions that suffer from various drawbacks. In this paper, deposition-based bioprinting is exploited while the effect is explored of both the crosslinking mechanism (gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) versus gelatin norbornene (DS 91) crosslinked with thiolated gelatin (GelNBSH)) and the degree of substitution (GelNBSH versus norbornene-norbornene-modified gelatin (DS 169) crosslinked with thiolated gelatin (GelNBNBSH)) on the presented biophysical cues as well as on the osteogenic differentiation. The incorporation of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP) to the step-growth inks allows the production of reproducible and biocompatible scaffolds based on thiol-ene chemistry. Dental pulp stem cell encapsulation in GelNBNBSH biofabricated constructs shows a favorable response due to the combination of its stress relaxation and substrate rigidity (bulk compressive modulus of 11-30 kPa) as reflected by a sevenfold increase in calcium production compared to the tissue engineering standard GelMA. This work is the first to exploit a controlled biocompatible and cell-interactive thiolated macromolecular crosslinker (GelSH + TCEP) allowing the extrusion-based biofabrication of low concentration (5 w/v%) modified osteogenic gelatin-based inks (GelNBNBSH + TCEP).

Abstract
Biofabrication techniques allow for the construction of biocompatible and biofunctional structures composed from biomaterials, cells and biomolecules. Bioprinting is an emerging 3D printing method which utilizes biomaterial-based mixtures with cells and other biological constituents into printable suspensions known as bioinks. Coupled with automated design protocols and based on different modes for droplet deposition, 3D bioprinters are able to fabricate hydrogel-based objects with specific architecture and geometrical properties, providing the necessary environment that promotes cell growth and directs cell differentiation towards application-related lineages. For the preparation of such bioinks, various water-soluble biomaterials have been employed, including natural and synthetic biopolymers, and inorganic materials. Bioprinted constructs are considered to be one of the most promising avenues in regenerative medicine due to their native organ biomimicry. For a successful application, the bioprinted constructs should meet particular criteria such as optimal biological response, mechanical properties similar to the target tissue, high levels of reproducibility and printing fidelity, but also increased upscaling capability. In this review, we highlight the most recent advances in bioprinting, focusing on the regeneration of various tissues including bone, cartilage, cardiovascular, neural, skin and other organs such as liver, kidney, pancreas and lungs. We discuss the rapidly developing co-culture bioprinting systems used to resemble the complexity of tissues and organs and the crosstalk between various cell populations towards regeneration. Moreover, we report on the basic physical principles governing 3D bioprinting, and the ideal bioink properties based on the biomaterials' regenerative potential. We examine and critically discuss the present status of 3D bioprinting regarding its applicability and current limitations that need to be overcome to establish it at the forefront of artificial organ production and transplantation.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered implants for bone regeneration require consideration regarding their mineralization and vascularization capacity. Different geometries, such as biomimetic designs and lattices, can influence the mechanical properties and the vascularization capacity of bone-mimicking implants. Negative Embodied Sacrificial Template 3D (NEST3D) printing is a versatile technique across a wide range of materials that enables the production of bone-mimicking scaffolds. In this study, different scaffold motifs (logpile, Voronoi, and trabecular bone) were fabricated via NEST3D printing in polycaprolactone to determine the effect of geometrical design on stiffness (10.44 ± 6.71, 12.61 ± 5.71, and 25.93 ± 4.16 MPa, respectively) and vascularization. The same designs, in a polycaprolactone scaffold only, or when combined with gelatin methacryloyl, were then assessed for their ability to allow the infiltration of blood vessels in a chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay, a cost-effective and time-efficient in ovo assay to assess vascularization. Our findings showed that gelatin methacrylolyl alone did not allow new chorioallantoic membrane tissue or blood vessels to infiltrate within its structure. However, polycaprolactone on its own or when combined with gelatin methacrylolyl allowed tissue and vessel infiltration in all scaffold designs. The trabecular bone design showed the greatest mineralized matrix production over the three designs tested. This reinforces our hypothesis that both biomaterial choice and scaffold motifs are crucial components for a bone-mimicking scaffold.

Abstract
Autograft or metal implants are routinely used in skeletal repair. However, they fail to provide long-term clinical resolution, necessitating a functional biomimetic tissue engineering alternative. The use of native human bone tissue for synthesizing a biomimetic material ink for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting of skeletal tissue is an attractive strategy for tissue regeneration. Thus, human bone extracellular matrix (bone-ECM) offers an exciting potential for the development of an appropriate microenvironment for human bone marrow stromal cells (HBMSCs) to proliferate and differentiate along the osteogenic lineage. In this study, we engineered a novel material ink (LAB) by blending human bone-ECM (B) with nanoclay (L, Laponite®) and alginate (A) polymers using extrusion-based deposition. The inclusion of the nanofiller and polymeric material increased the rheology, printability, and drug retention properties and, critically, the preservation of HBMSCs viability upon printing. The composite of human bone-ECM-based 3D constructs containing vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) enhanced vascularization after implantation in an ex vivo chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model. The inclusion of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with the HBMSCs further enhanced vascularization and mineralization after only seven days. This study demonstrates the synergistic combination of nanoclay with biomimetic materials (alginate and bone-ECM) to support the formation of osteogenic tissue both in vitro and ex vivo and offers a promising novel 3D bioprinting approach to personalized skeletal tissue repair.

Addition of Laponite to gelatin methacryloyl bioinks improves the rheological properties and printability to create mechanically tailorable cell culture matrices. APL Bioeng 2024; 8:016101.

Abstract
Extrusion-based bioprinting has gained widespread popularity in biofabrication due to its ability to assemble cells and biomaterials in precise patterns and form tissue-like constructs. To achieve this, bioinks must have rheological properties suitable for printing while maintaining cytocompatibility. However, many commonly used biomaterials do not meet the rheological requirements and therefore require modification for bioprinting applications. This study demonstrates the incorporation of Laponite-RD (LPN) into gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) to produce highly customizable bioinks with desired rheological and mechanical properties for extrusion-based bioprinting. Bioink formulations were based on GelMA (5%-15% w/v) and LPN (0%-4% w/v), and a comprehensive rheological design was applied to evaluate key rheological properties necessary for extrusion-based bioprinting. The results showed that GelMA bioinks with LPN (1%-4% w/v) exhibited pronounced shear thinning and viscoelastic behavior, as well as improved thermal stability. Furthermore, a concentration window of 1%-2% (w/v) LPN to 5%-15% GelMA demonstrated enhanced rheological properties and printability required for extrusion-based bioprinting. Construct mechanical properties were highly tunable by varying polymer concentration and photocrosslinking parameters, with Young's moduli ranging from ∼0.2 to 75 kPa. Interestingly, at higher Laponite concentrations, GelMA cross-linking was inhibited, resulting in softer hydrogels. High viability of MCF-7 breast cancer cells was maintained in both free-swelling droplets and printed hydrogels, and metabolically active spheroids formed over 7 days of culture in all conditions. In summary, the addition of 1%-2% (w/v) LPN to gelatin-based bioinks significantly enhanced rheological properties and retained cell viability and proliferation, suggesting its suitability for extrusion-based bioprinting.

Abstract
The success of guided bone regeneration (GBR) surgery depends largely on the use of GBR membranes to maintain space for bone regeneration and prevent soft tissue ingrowth. However, currently available commercial degradable GBR membranes are often limited by poor space maintenance ability and require additional suture or nail for fixation. To overcome these limitations, we developed a rapid-shaping, adhesive, and user-friendly GBR membrane (PLGA film-PGN) with long-lasting space maintenance by immersing an electrospun poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) film in a photo-crosslinkable hydrogel composed of polyethylene glycol diacrylate, gelatin methacryloyl, and nanosilicate (PGN). The PGN hydrogel significantly improved the mechanical strength of the PLGA film-PGN and endowed it with plasticity and adhesive properties, making it more maneuverable. The maximum bending force that the PLGA film-PGN could withstand was over 55 times higher than that of the HEAL ALL film (a commonly used commercial GBR membrane). PLGA film-PGN also promoted the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rBMSCs. According to a critical-size rat calvarial defect model, PLGA film-PGN maintained the space within the defect area and significantly enhanced bone formation 4 weeks after the surgery. To conclude, the study provided a novel perspective on GBR membrane design and the multifunctional PLGA film-PGN membrane demonstrated great potential for bone defect reconstruction.

Abstract
Clay minerals have been applied in biomedicine for thousands of years. Laponite is a nanostructured synthetic clay with the capacity to retain and progressively release drugs. In recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in Laponite application in various biomedical areas. This is the first paper to review the potential biomedical applications of Laponite in ophthalmology. The introduction briefly covers the physical, chemical, rheological, and biocompatibility features of different routes of administration. After that, emphasis is placed on 1) drug delivery for antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, growth factors, other proteins, and cancer treatment; 2) bleeding prevention or treatment; and 3) tissue engineering through regenerative medicine using scaffolds in intraocular and extraocular tissue. Although most scientific research is not performed on the eye, both the findings and the new treatments resulting from that research are potentially applicable in ophthalmology since many of the drugs used are the same, the tissue evaluated in vitro or in vivo is also present in the eye, and the pathologies treated also occur in the eye. Finally, future prospects for this emerging field are discussed.

Abstract
Tumour survival and growth are reliant on angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, to facilitate nutrient and waste exchange and, importantly, provide a route for metastasis from a primary to a secondary site. Whilst current models can ensure the transport and exchange of nutrients and waste via diffusion over distances greater than 200 μm, many lack sufficient vasculature capable of recapitulating the tumour microenvironment and, thus, metastasis. In this study, we utilise gelatin-containing polymerised high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) templated polycaprolactone-methacrylate (PCL-M) scaffolds to fabricate a composite material to support the 3D culture of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and vascular ingrowth. Firstly, we investigated the effect of gelatin within the scaffolds on the mechanical and chemical properties using compression testing and FTIR spectroscopy, respectively. Initial in vitro assessment of cell metabolic activity and vascular endothelial growth factor expression demonstrated that gelatin-containing PCL-M polyHIPEs are capable of supporting 3D breast cancer cell growth. We then utilised the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay to assess the angiogenic potential of cell-seeded gelatin-containing PCL-M polyHIPEs, and vascular ingrowth within cell-seeded, surfactant and gelatin-containing scaffolds was investigated via histological staining. Overall, our study proposes a promising composite material to fabricate a substrate to support the 3D culture of cancer cells and vascular ingrowth.

Abstract
3D bioprinting technology is widely used to fabricate various tissue structures. However, the absence of vessels hampers the ability of bioprinted tissues to receive oxygen and nutrients as well as to remove wastes, leading to a significant reduction in their survival rate. Despite the advancements in bioinks and bioprinting technologies, bioprinted vascular structures continue to be unsuitable for transplantation compared to natural blood vessels. In addition, a complete assessment index system for evaluating the structure and function of bioprinted vessels in vitro has not yet been established. Therefore, in this review, we firstly highlight the significance of selecting suitable bioinks and bioprinting techniques as they two synergize with each other. Subsequently, focusing on both vascular-associated cells and vascular tissues, we provide a relatively thorough assessment of the functions of bioprinted vascular tissue based on the physiological functions that natural blood vessels possess. We end with a review of the applications of vascular models, such as vessel-on-a-chip, in simulating pathological processes and conducting drug screening at the organ level. We believe that the development of fully functional blood vessels will soon make great contributions to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
In the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, various hydrogels derived from the extracellular matrix have been utilized for creating engineered tissues and implantable scaffolds. While these hydrogels hold immense promise in the healthcare landscape, conventional bioinks based on ECM hydrogels face several challenges, particularly in terms of lacking the necessary mechanical properties required for 3D bioprinting process. To address these limitations, researchers are actively exploring novel nanomaterial-reinforced ECM hydrogels for both mechanical and functional aspects. In this review, we focused on discussing recent advancements in the fabrication of engineered tissues and monitoring systems using nanobioinks and nanomaterials via 3D bioprinting technology. We highlighted the synergistic benefits of combining numerous nanomaterials into ECM hydrogels and imposing geometrical effects by 3D bioprinting technology. Furthermore, we also elaborated on critical issues remaining at the moment, such as the inhomogeneous dispersion of nanomaterials and consequent technical and practical issues, in the fabrication of complex 3D structures with nanobioinks and nanomaterials.

J Nanobiotechnology 2023; 21:351. [PMID: 37770928 PMCID: PMC10536787 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-023-02115-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 09/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Despite the recent advances in the development of bone graft substitutes, treatment of critical size bone defects continues to be a significant challenge, especially in the elderly population. A current approach to overcome this challenge involves the creation of bone-mimicking scaffolds that can simultaneously promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis. In this context, incorporating multiple bioactive agents like growth factors, genes, and small molecules into these scaffolds has emerged as a promising strategy. To incorporate such agents, researchers have developed scaffolds incorporating nanoparticles, including nanoparticulate carriers, inorganic nanoparticles, and exosomes. Current paper provides a summary of the latest advancements in using various bioactive agents, drugs, and cells to synergistically promote osteogenesis and angiogenesis in bone-mimetic scaffolds. It also discusses scaffold design properties aimed at maximizing the synergistic effects of osteogenesis and angiogenesis, various innovative fabrication strategies, and ongoing clinical studies.

Abstract
Systemically administered chemotherapy reduces the efficiency of the anticancer agent at the target tumor tissue and results in distributed drug to non-target organs, inducing negative side effects commonly associated with chemotherapy and necessitating repeated administration. Injectable hydrogels present themselves as a potential platform for non-invasive local delivery vehicles that can serve as a slow-releasing drug depot that fills tumor vasculature, tissue, or resection cavities. Herein, we have systematically formulated and tested an injectable shear-thinning hydrogel (STH) with a highly manipulable release profile for delivering doxorubicin, a common chemotherapeutic. By detailed characterization of the STH physical properties and degradation and release dynamics, we selected top candidates for testing in cancer models of increasing biomimicry. Two-dimensional cell culture, tumor-on-a-chip, and small animal models were used to demonstrate the high anticancer potential and reduced systemic toxicity of the STH that exhibits long-term (up to 80 days) doxorubicin release profiles for treatment of breast cancer and glioblastoma. The drug-loaded STH injected into tumor tissue was shown to increase overall survival in breast tumor- and glioblastoma-bearing animal models by 50% for 22 days and 25% for 52 days, respectively, showing high potential for localized, less frequent treatment of oncologic disease with reduced dosage requirements.

Abstract
The musculoskeletal system, consisting of bones and cartilage of various types, muscles, ligaments, and tendons, is the basis of the human body. However, many pathological conditions caused by aging, lifestyle, disease, or trauma can damage its elements and lead to severe disfunction and significant worsening in the quality of life. Due to its structure and function, articular (hyaline) cartilage is the most susceptible to damage. Articular cartilage is a non-vascular tissue with constrained self-regeneration capabilities. Additionally, treatment methods, which have proven efficacy in stopping its degradation and promoting regeneration, still do not exist. Conservative treatment and physical therapy only relieve the symptoms associated with cartilage destruction, and traditional surgical interventions to repair defects or endoprosthetics are not without serious drawbacks. Thus, articular cartilage damage remains an urgent and actual problem requiring the development of new treatment approaches. The emergence of biofabrication technologies, including three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting, at the end of the 20th century, allowed reconstructive interventions to get a second wind. Three-dimensional bioprinting creates volume constraints that mimic the structure and function of natural tissue due to the combinations of biomaterials, living cells, and signal molecules to create. In our case-hyaline cartilage. Several approaches to articular cartilage biofabrication have been developed to date, including the promising technology of 3D bioprinting. This review represents the main achievements of such research direction and describes the technological processes and the necessary biomaterials, cell cultures, and signal molecules. Special attention is given to the basic materials for 3D bioprinting-hydrogels and bioinks, as well as the biopolymers underlying the indicated products.

[PMID: 37370635 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10060704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2023] [Revised: 05/29/2023] [Accepted: 06/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Gelatin-based hydrogels have emerged as a popular scaffold material for tissue engineering applications. The introduction of variable crosslinking methods has shown promise for fabricating stable cell-laden scaffolds. In this work, we examine promising composite biopolymer-based inks for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting, using a dual crosslinking approach. A combination of carefully selected printable hydrogel ink compositions and the use of photoinduced covalent and ionic crosslinking mechanisms allows for the fabrication of scaffolds of high accuracy and low cytotoxicity, resulting in unimpeded cell proliferation, extracellular matrix deposition, and mineralization. Three selected bioink compositions were characterized and the respective cell-laden scaffolds were bioprinted. Temporal stability, morphology, swelling, and mechanical properties of the scaffolds were thoroughly studied and the biocompatibility of the constructs was assessed using rat mesenchymal stem cells while focusing on osteogenesis. Experimental results showed that the composition of 1% alginate, 4% gelatin, and 5% (w/v) gelatine methacrylate, was found to be optimal among the examined, with shape fidelity of 88%, large cell spreading area and cell viability at around 100% after 14 days. The large pore diameters that exceed 100 µm, and highly interconnected scaffold morphology, make these hydrogels extremely potent in bone tissue engineering and bone organoid fabrication.

Abstract
Light-based bioprinting is a type of additive manufacturing technologies that uses light to control the formation of biomaterials, tissues, and organs. It has the potential to revolutionize the adopted approach in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine by allowing the creation of functional tissues and organs with high precision and control. The main chemical components of light-based bioprinting are activated polymers and photoinitiators. The general photocrosslinking mechanisms of biomaterials are described, along with the selection of polymers, functional group modifications, and photoinitiators. For activated polymers, acrylate polymers are ubiquitous but are made of cytotoxic reagents. A milder option that exists is based on norbornyl groups which are biocompatible and can be used in self-polymerization or with thiol reagents for more precision. Polyethylene-glycol and gelatin activated with both methods can have high cell viability rates. Photoinitiators can be divided into types I and II. The best performances for type I photoinitiators are produced under ultraviolet light. Most alternatives for visible-light-driven photoinitiators were of type II, and changing the co-initiator along the main reagent can fine-tune the process. This field is still underexplored and a vast room for improvements still exist, which can open the way for cheaper complexes to be developed. The progress, advantages, and shortcomings of light-based bioprinting are highlighted in this review, with special emphasis on developments and future trends of activated polymers and photoinitiators.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, the fate of a particular organ/tissue regeneration and repair mainly depends on three pillars - 3D architecture, cells used, and stimulus provided. 3D cell supportive structure development is one of the crucial pillars necessary for defining organ/tissue geometry and shape. In recent years, the advancements in 3D bio-printing (additive manufacturing) made it possible to develop very precise 3D architectures with the help of industrial software like Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The main requirement for the 3D printing process is the bio-ink, which can act as a source for cell support, proliferation, drug (growth factors, stimulators) delivery, and organ/tissue shape. The selection of the bio-ink depends upon the type of 3D tissue of interest. Printing tissues like bone and cartilage is always challenging because it is difficult to find printable biomaterial that can act as bio-ink and mimic the strength of the natural bone and cartilage tissues. This review describes different biomaterials used to develop bio-inks with different processing variables and cell-seeding densities for bone and cartilage 3D printing applications. The review also discusses the advantages, limitations, and cell bio-ink compatibility in each biomaterial section. The emphasis is given to bio-inks reported for 3D printing cartilage and bone and their applications in orthopedics and orthodontists. The critical/important performance and the architectural morphology requirements of desired bone and cartilage bio-inks were compiled in summary.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used for therapeutic delivery applications due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to control release kinetics by tuning swelling and mechanical properties. However, their clinical utility is hampered by unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties, including high initial burst release and difficulty in achieving prolonged release, especially for small molecules (<500 Da). The incorporation of nanomaterials within hydrogels has emerged as viable option as a method to trap therapeutics within the hydrogel and sustain release kinetics. Specifically, two-dimensional nanosilicate particles offer a plethora of beneficial characteristics, including dually charged surfaces, degradability, and enhanced mechanical properties within hydrogels. The nanosilicate-hydrogel composite system offers benefits not obtainable by just one component, highlighting the need for detail characterization of these nanocomposite hydrogels. This review focuses on Laponite, a disc-shaped nanosilicate with diameter of 30 nm and thickness of 1 nm. The benefits of using Laponite within hydrogels are explored, as well as examples of Laponite-hydrogel composites currently being investigated for their ability to prolong the release of small molecules and macromolecules such as proteins. Future work will further characterize the interplay between nanosilicates, hydrogel polymer, and encapsulated therapeutics, and how each of these components affect release kinetics and mechanical properties.

Abstract
Clay minerals are historically among the most used materials with a wide variety of applications. In pharmaceutical and biomedical fields, their healing properties have always been known and used in pelotherapy and therefore attractive for their potential. In recent decades, the research has therefore focused on the systematic investigation of these properties. This review aims to describe the most relevant and recent uses of clays in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field, especially for drug delivery and tissue engineering purposes. Clay minerals, which are biocompatible and non-toxic materials, can act as carriers for active ingredients while controlling their release and increasing their bioavailability. Moreover, the combination of clays and polymers is useful as it can improve the mechanical and thermal properties of polymers, as well as induce cell adhesion and proliferation. Different types of clays, both of natural (such as montmorillonite and halloysite) and synthetic origin (layered double hydroxides and zeolites), were considered in order to compare them and to assess their advantages and different uses.

Abstract
Bone regeneration is a comprehensive process that involves different stages, and various growth factors (GFs) play crucial roles in the entire process. GFs are currently widely used in clinical settings to promote bone repair; however, the direct application of GFs is often limited by their fast degradation and short local residual time. Additionally, GFs are expensive, and their use may carry risks of ectopic osteogenesis and potential tumor formation. Nanomaterials have recently shown great promise in delivering GFs for bone regeneration, as they can protect fragile GFs and control their release. Moreover, functional nanomaterials can directly activate endogenous GFs, modulating the regeneration process. This review provides a summary of the latest advances in using nanomaterials to deliver exogenous GFs and activate endogenous GFs to promote bone regeneration. We also discuss the potential for synergistic applications of nanomaterials and GFs in bone regeneration, along with the challenges and future directions that need to be addressed.

Abstract
Bone augmentation has an enormous demand in oral clinical treatment. Although there are various options available for clinical management to address it, these approaches could increase patient suffering due to surgical trauma and even cause psychological trauma to the patients. Moreover, presently, there is still a lack of well-considered microinvasive bone augmentation systems to deal with this challenge. Herein, we newly developed a subperiosteal injectable and osteogenesis-promoting hydroxylapatite/laponite/alginate nanocomposite hydrogels to address the insufficient microinvasive bone augmentation strategies. The physical performances (like swelling profiles, degradation behaviors, mechanical properties, and surface morphologies) of the gels were determined, and can be slightly tuned through altering concentrations of laponite. The cytocompatibility test results show outstanding biocompatibility of the hydrogels. Furthermore, the in vitro testing for bone-inducing activity and in vivo determination of bone-augmentation in the rat cranial subperiosteum exhibit that the hydrogels significantly promoted rat periosteum-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (P-MSCs) osteogenic differentiation in vitro and bone augmentation in vivo. Therefore, the research reveals that the nanocomposite hydrogels possessing subperiosteal microinvasive injectability, osteogenesis-enhancing capability, and clinical applicability have extremely great potential application in subperiosteal microinvasive bone augmentation.

Abstract
Regeneration of bone tissue in the environment of diabetes mellitus (DM) remains one of the clinical challenges, with malfunction of stem cells in a high-glucose microenvironment being the primary obstacle. We designed an injectable sustained-release PDGF-BB nanocomposite hydrogel. PDGF-BB, a star molecule for treating various complications of DM, was used for the first time for DM-associated bone regeneration, and we showed that it restored stem cell proliferation and migration and facilitated osteogenesis inhibition under high glucose stimulation by activating ERK and AKT pathways. To address the requirements for continuous PDGF-BB release in GelMA while also increasing mechanical strength, nanoclay LAPONITE® was added, which may still exhibit pro-osteogenic activity in diabetic environments by releasing bioactive ions (Si4+, Mg2+, and Li+). This injectable hydrogel heals calvarial lesions successfully in diabetic rats and has the potential to be used as a direct and effective tool for treating diabetic patients.

Abstract
3D constructs are fundamental in tissue engineering and cancer modeling, generating a demand for tailored materials creating a suitable cell culture microenvironment and amenable to be bioprinted. Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) is a well-known functionalized natural polymer with good printability and binding motifs allowing cell adhesion; however, its tight micropores induce encapsulated cells to retain a non-physiological spherical shape. To overcome this problem, blended GelMa is here blended with Pluronic F-127 (PLU) to modify the hydrogel internal porosity by inducing the formation of larger mesoscale pores. The change in porosity also leads to increased swelling and a slight decrease in Young's modulus. All blends form stable hydrogels both when cast in annular molds and bioprinted in complex structures. Embedded cells maintain high viability, and while Neuroblastoma cancer cells typically aggregate inside the mesoscale pores, Mesenchymal Stem Cells stretch in all three dimensions, forming cell-cell and cell-ECM interactions. The results of this work prove that the combination of tailored porous materials with bioprinting techniques enables to control both the micro and macro architecture of cell-laden constructs, a fundamental aspect for the development of clinically relevant in vitro constructs.

Hydrogel Based on Nanoclay and Gelatin Methacrylate Polymeric Matrix as a Potential Osteogenic Application. J Funct Biomater 2023; 14:jfb14020074.

Abstract
A nanocomposite hydrogel has potentially applicability in the induction of osteogenesis. The hydrogel was synthesized using 1% gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), a biodegradable and bioactive polymer containing the structure of gelatin, denatured collagen derived from the extracellular bone matrix, and 6% laponite (Lap), a synthetic phyllosilicate of nanosized particles. Initially, 0.6 g of Lap was added to deionized water, and then a solution of GelMA/Igarcure was added under stirring and UV light for crosslinking. The spectra in the Fourier-transform infrared region showed bands that indicate the interaction between gelatin and methacrylate anhydride. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the presence of Lap and GelMA in the hydrogel. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested an increase in the thermal stability of the hydrogel with the presence of clay mineral. Rheological analysis showed that the hydrogel had a viscosity that allowed its injectability. The hydrogel did not show acute toxicity at any of the concentrations tested according to the Artemia salina lethality test. It showed cell viability more significant than 80% in the MTT test, which makes it suitable for in vivo osteogenic induction tests. The cell differentiation test showed the differentiation of stem cells into osteogenic cells. It indicates a material with the potential for osteogenic induction and possible application in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bioprinting aims to provide new avenues for regenerating damaged human tissues through the controlled printing of live cells and biocompatible materials that can function therapeutically. Polymeric hydrogels are commonly investigated ink materials for 3D and 4D bioprinting applications, as they can contain intrinsic properties relative to those of the native tissue extracellular matrix and can be printed to produce scaffolds of hierarchical organization. The incorporation of nanoscale material additives, such as nanoparticles, to the bulk of inks, has allowed for significant tunability of the mechanical, biological, structural, and physicochemical material properties during and after printing. The modulatory and biological effects of nanoparticles as bioink additives can derive from their shape, size, surface chemistry, concentration, and/or material source, making many configurations of nanoparticle additives of high interest to be thoroughly investigated for the improved design of bioactive tissue engineering constructs. This paper aims to review the incorporation of nanoparticles, as well as other nanoscale additive materials, to printable bioinks for tissue engineering applications, specifically bone, cartilage, dental, and cardiovascular tissues. An overview of the various bioinks and their classifications will be discussed with emphasis on cellular and mechanical material interactions, as well the various bioink formulation methodologies for 3D and 4D bioprinting techniques. The current advances and limitations within the field will be highlighted.

Abstract
Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based composites are evolving three-dimensional (3D) networking hydrophilic protein composite scaffolds with high water content. These protein composites have been devoted to biomedical applications due to their unique abilities, such as flexibility, soft structure, versatility, stimuli-responsiveness, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and others. They resemble the native extracellular matrix (ECM) thanks to their remarkable cell-adhesion and matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-responsive amino acid motifs. These favorable properties promote cells to proliferate and inflate within GelMA-protein scaffolds. The performance of GelMA composites has been enriched using cell-amenable components, including peptides and proteins with a high affinity to harmonize cellular activities and tissue morphologies. Due to their inimitable merits, GelMA systems have been used in various fields such as drug delivery, biosensor, the food industry, biomedical, and other health sectors. The current knowledge and the role of GelMA scaffolds in bone tissue engineering are limited. The rational design and development of novel nanomaterials-incorporated GelMA-based composites with unique physicochemical and biological advantages would be used to regulate cellular functionality and bone regeneration. Substantial challenges remain. This review focuses on recent progress in mitigating those disputes. The study opens with a brief introduction to bone tissue engineering and GelMA-based composites, followed by their potential applications in bone tissue engineering. The future perspectives and current challenges of GelMA composites are demonstrated. This review would guide the researchers to design and fabricate more efficient multifunctional GelMA-based composites with improved characteristics for their practical applications in bone tissue engineering and biomedical segments.

Abstract
Clays have been used as early as 2500 BC in human civilization for medicinal purposes. The ease of availability, biocompatibility, and versatility of these unique charged 2D structures abundantly available in nature have enabled the extensive applications of clays in human history. Recent advances in the use of clays in nanostructures and as components of polymer clay nanocomposites have exponentially expanded the use of clays in medicine. This review covers the details of structures and biomedical applications of several common clays, including montmorillonite, LAPONITE®, kaolinite, and halloysite. Here we describe the applications of these clays in wound dressings as hemostatic agents in drug delivery of drugs for cancer and other diseases and tissue engineering. Also reviewed are recent experimental and modeling studies that elucidate the impact of clay structures on cellular processes and cell adhesion processes. Various mechanisms of clay-mediated bioactivity, including protein localization, modulation of cell adhesion, biomineralization, and the potential of clay nanoparticles to impact cell differentiation, are presented. We also review the current developments in understanding the impact of clays on cellular responses. This review also elucidates new emerging areas of use of nanoclays in osteogenesis and the development of in vitro models of bone metastasis of cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the release of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) and interleukin 1β (IL-1β) of plasma rich in growth factors (PRGF) and leucocyte platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and to evaluate their biological implication in osteoblasts. METHODS Blood from 3 healthy volunteers was processed into PRGF, immediate L-PRF (L-PRF 0') and L-PRF 30 min after collection (L-PRF-30') and a control group. Growth factors release were analyzed at 7 times by ELISA. Cell proliferation, collagen-I synthesis and alkaline phosphatase activity were assessed in primary cultures of human osteoblasts. RESULTS A slower controlled release of IGF-I, VEGF and PDGF was observed in the PRGF group at day 14. A higher synthesis of type I collagen was also quantified in PRGF. L-PRF released significantly higher amounts of IL-1β, that was almost absent in the PRGF. CONCLUSIONS The addition of leukocytes dramatically increases the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, which are likely to negatively influence the synthesis of type I collagen and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) by osteoblasts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Joint degeneration and large or complex bone defects are a significant source of morbidity and diminished quality of life worldwide. There is an unmet need for a functional implant with near-native biomechanical properties. The potential for their generation using 3D bioprinting (3DBP)-based tissue engineering methods was assessed. We systematically reviewed the current state of 3DBP in orthoregeneration. METHODS This review was performed using PubMed and Web of Science. Primary research articles reporting 3DBP of cartilage, bone, vasculature, and their osteochondral and vascular bone composites were considered. Full text English articles were analyzed. RESULTS Over 1300 studies were retrieved, after removing duplicates, 1046 studies remained. After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, 114 articles were analyzed fully. Bioink material types and combinations were tallied. Cell types and testing methods were also analyzed. Nearly all papers determined the effect of 3DBP on cell survival. Bioink material physical characterization using gelation and rheology, and construct biomechanics were performed. In vitro testing methods assessed biochemistry, markers of extracellular matrix production and/or cell differentiation into respective lineages. In vivo proof-of-concept studies included full-thickness bone and joint defects as well as subcutaneous implantation in rodents followed by histological and µCT analyses to demonstrate implant growth and integration into surrounding native tissues. CONCLUSIONS Despite its relative infancy, 3DBP is making an impact in joint and bone engineering. Several groups have demonstrated preclinical efficacy of mechanically robust constructs which integrate into articular joint defects in small animals. However, notable obstacles remain. Notably, researchers encountered pitfalls in scaling up constructs and establishing implant function and viability in long term animal models. Further, to translate from the laboratory to the clinic, standardized quality control metrics such as construct stiffness and graft integration metrics should be established with investigator consensus. While there is much work to be done, 3DBP implants have great potential to treat degenerative joint diseases and provide benefit to patients globally.

Abstract
In most cases, bone injuries heal without complications, however, there is an increasing number of instances where bone healing needs major clinical intervention. Available treatment options have severe drawbacks, such as donor site morbidity and limited availability for autografting. Bone graft substitutes containing growth factors would be a viable alternative, however they have been associated with dose-related safety concerns and lack control over spatial architecture to anatomically match bone defect sites. 3D printing offers a solution to produce patient specific bone graft substitutes that are customized to the patient bone defect with temporal control over the incorporated therapeutics to maximize their efficacy. Inspired by the natural constitution of bone tissue, composites made of inorganic phases, such as nanosilicate particles, calcium phosphate, and bioactive glasses, combined with biopolymer matrices have been investigated as building blocks for the biofabrication of bone constructs. Besides capturing elements of the bone physiological structure, these inorganic/organic composites can be designed for specific cohesivity, rheological and mechanical properties, while both inorganic and organic constituents contribute to the composite bioactivity. This review provides an overview of 3D printed composite biomaterial-inks for bone tissue engineering. Furthermore, key aspects in biomaterial-ink design, 3D printing techniques, and the building blocks for composite biomaterial-inks are summarized.

IN VITRO MODELS 2022; 1:289-307. [PMID: 36567849 PMCID: PMC9766883 DOI: 10.1007/s44164-022-00028-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 07/01/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Bone pain typically occurs immediately following skeletal damage with mechanical distortion or rupture of nociceptive fibres. The pain mechanism is also associated with chronic pain conditions where the healing process is impaired. Any load impacting on the area of the fractured bone will stimulate the nociceptive response, necessitating rapid clinical intervention to relieve pain associated with the bone damage and appropriate mitigation of any processes involved with the loss of bone mass, muscle, and mobility and to prevent death. The following review has examined the mechanisms of pain associated with trauma or cancer-related skeletal damage focusing on new approaches for the development of innovative therapeutic interventions. In particular, the review highlights tissue engineering approaches that offer considerable promise in the application of functional biomimetic fabrication of bone and nerve tissues. The strategic combination of bone and nerve tissue engineered models provides significant potential to develop a new class of in vitro platforms, capable of replacing in vivo models and testing the safety and efficacy of novel drug treatments aimed at the resolution of bone-associated pain. To date, the field of bone pain research has centred on animal models, with a paucity of data correlating to the human physiological response. This review explores the evident gap in pain drug development research and suggests a step change in approach to harness tissue engineering technologies to recapitulate the complex pathophysiological environment of the damaged bone tissue enabling evaluation of the associated pain-mimicking mechanism with significant therapeutic potential therein for improved patient quality of life. Graphical abstract Rationale underlying novel drug testing platform development. Pain detected by the central nervous system and following bone fracture cannot be treated or exclusively alleviated using standardised methods. The pain mechanism and specificity/efficacy of pain reduction drugs remain poorly understood. In vivo and ex vivo models are not yet able to recapitulate the various pain events associated with skeletal damage. In vitro models are currently limited by their inability to fully mimic the complex physiological mechanisms at play between nervous and skeletal tissue and any disruption in pathological states. Robust innovative tissue engineering models are needed to better understand pain events and to investigate therapeutic regimes.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders are a significant burden on the global economy and public health. Hydrogels have significant potential for enhancing the repair of damaged and injured musculoskeletal tissues as cell or drug delivery systems. Hydrogels have unique physicochemical properties which make them promising platforms for controlling cell functions. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogel in particular has been extensively investigated as a promising biomaterial due to its tuneable and beneficial properties and has been widely used in different biomedical applications. In this review, a detailed overview of GelMA synthesis, hydrogel design and applications in regenerative medicine is provided. After summarising recent progress in hydrogels more broadly, we highlight recent advances of GelMA hydrogels in the emerging fields of musculoskeletal drug delivery, involving therapeutic drugs (e.g., growth factors, antimicrobial molecules, immunomodulatory drugs and cells), delivery approaches (e.g., single-, dual-release system), and material design (e.g., addition of organic or inorganic materials, 3D printing). The review concludes with future perspectives and associated challenges for developing local drug delivery for musculoskeletal applications.

Abstract
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a rare cell population in tumors that are responsible for tumor recurrence and metastasis. They are a priority as therapeutic targets, however, assays targeting CSCs have been limited by expanding and maintaining CSCs in vitro. Here, the authors find that gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-nanoclay hybrid hydrogels can induce and enrich colorectal CSCs assisted by three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting. The presence of the nanoclay increases the printability, Young's modulus, pore size, and cytocompatibility of the hydrogels. Bioprinted GelMA-nanoclay hydrogels promote the formation of spheroids expressing elevated levels of the stemness markers LGR5, CD133, CD26, and SOX2. Cancer cells grown in GelMA-nanoclay hydrogel possess higher self-renewal and differentiation capacity in vitro and higher tumorigenic capacity in vivo. GelMA-nanoclay hydrogels induce CSCs by stimulating the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. Further studies demonstrate that spheroids from GelMA-nanoclay hydrogels possess increased stemness, higher consistency, yield, and sensitivity to the anti-CSC compounds compared to the classic CSC-enrichment model. Collectively, this study may provide a valuable biomaterial and method for inducing and enriching CSCs, to facilitate the effective CSC-targeting drug screening.

GelMA Hydrogel Reinforced with 3D Printed PEGT/PBT Scaffolds for Supporting Epigenetically-Activated Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells for Bone Repair. J Funct Biomater 2022; 13:jfb13020041.

Abstract
Epigenetic approaches using the histone deacetylase 2 and 3 inhibitor-MI192 have been reported to accelerate stem cells to form mineralised tissues. Gelatine methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels provide a favourable microenvironment to facilitate cell delivery and support tissue formation. However, their application for bone repair is limited due to their low mechanical strength. This study aimed to investigate a GelMA hydrogel reinforced with a 3D printed scaffold to support MI192-induced human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) for bone formation. Cell culture: The GelMA (5 wt%) hydrogel supported the proliferation of MI192-pre-treated hBMSCs. MI192-pre-treated hBMSCs within the GelMA in osteogenic culture significantly increased alkaline phosphatase activity (p ≤ 0.001) compared to control. Histology: The MI192-pre-treated group enhanced osteoblast-related extracellular matrix deposition and mineralisation (p ≤ 0.001) compared to control. Mechanical testing: GelMA hydrogels reinforced with 3D printed poly(ethylene glycol)-terephthalate/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PEGT/PBT) scaffolds exhibited a 1000-fold increase in the compressive modulus compared to the GelMA alone. MI192-pre-treated hBMSCs within the GelMA–PEGT/PBT constructs significantly enhanced extracellular matrix collagen production and mineralisation compared to control (p ≤ 0.001). These findings demonstrate that the GelMA–PEGT/PBT construct provides enhanced mechanical strength and facilitates the delivery of epigenetically-activated MSCs for bone augmentation strategies.

Abstract
With the gradual demographic shift toward an aging and obese society, an increasing number of patients are suffering from bone and cartilage injuries. However, conventional therapies are hindered by the defects of materials, failing to adequately stimulate the necessary cellular response to promote sufficient cartilage regeneration, bone remodeling and osseointegration. In recent years, the rapid development of nanomedicine has initiated a revolution in orthopedics, especially in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, due to their capacity to effectively stimulate cellular responses on a nanoscale with enhanced drug loading efficiency, targeted capability, increased mechanical properties and improved uptake rate, resulting in an improved therapeutic effect. Therefore, a comprehensive review of advancements in nanomedicine for bone and cartilage diseases is timely and beneficial. This review firstly summarized the wide range of existing nanotechnology applications in the medical field. The progressive development of nano delivery systems in nanomedicine, including nanoparticles and biomimetic techniques, which are lacking in the current literature, is further described. More importantly, we also highlighted the research advancements of nanomedicine in bone and cartilage repair using the latest preclinical and clinical examples, and further discussed the research directions of nano-therapies in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Bioprinting is gaining importance for the manufacturing of tailor-made hydrogel scaffolds in tissue engineering, pharmaceutical research and cell therapy. However, structure fidelity and geometric deviations of printed objects heavily influence mass transport and process reproducibility. Fast, three-dimensional and nondestructive quality control methods will be decisive for the approval in larger studies or industry. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) meets these requirements for characterizing heterogeneous soft materials with different properties. Complementary to the idea of decentralized 3D printing, magnetic resonance tomography is common in medicine, and image data processing tools can be transferred system-independently. In this study, we evaluated a MRI measurement and image analysis protocol to jointly assess the reproducibility of three different hydrogels and a reference material. Critical parameters for object quality, namely porosity, hole areas and deviations along the height of the scaffolds are discussed. Geometric deviations could be correlated to specific process parameters, anomalies of the ink or changes of ambient conditions. This strategy allows the systematic investigation of complex 3D objects as well as an implementation as a process control tool. Combined with the monitoring of metadata this approach might pave the way for future industrial applications of 3D printing in the field of biopharmaceutics. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Bioprinting has seen significant progress in recent years for the fabrication of bionic tissues with high complexity. However, it remains challenging to develop cell-laden bioinks exhibiting superior physiochemical properties and bio-functionality. In this study, a multifunctional nanocomposite bioink is developed based on amine-functionalized copper (Cu)-doped mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (ACuMBGNs) and a hydrogel formulation relying on dynamic covalent chemistry composed of alginate dialdehyde (oxidized alginate) and gelatin, with favorable rheological properties, improved shape fidelity, and structural stability for extrusion-based bioprinting. The reversible dynamic microenvironment in combination with the impact of cell-adhesive ligands introduced by aminated particles enables the rapid spreading (within 3 days) and high survival (>90%) of embedded human osteosarcoma cells and immortalized mouse bone marrow-derived stroma cells. Osteogenic differentiation of primary mouse bone marrow stromal stem cells (BMSCs) and angiogenesis are promoted in the bioprinted alginate dialdehyde-gelatin (ADA-GEL or AG)-ACuMBGN scaffolds without additional growth factors in vitro, which is likely due to ion stimulation from the incorporated nanoparticles and possibly due to cell mechanosensing in the dynamic matrix. In conclusion, it is envisioned that these nanocomposite bioinks can serve as promising platforms for bioprinting complex 3D matrix environments providing superior physiochemical and biological performance for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
One significant drawback of existing bioprinted tissues is their lack of shelf-availability caused by complications in both fabrication and storage. Here, we report a cryobioprinting strategy for simultaneously fabricating and storing cell-laden volumetric tissue constructs through seamlessly combining extrusion bioprinting and cryopreservation. The cryobioprinting performance was investigated by designing, fabricating, and storing cell-laden constructs made of our optimized cryoprotective gelatin-based bioinks using a freezing plate with precisely controllable temperature. The in situ freezing process further promoted the printability of cell-laden hydrogel bioinks to achieve freeform structures otherwise inconvenient with direct extrusion bioprinting. The effects of bioink composition on printability and cell viability were evaluated. The functionality of the method was finally investigated using cell differentiation and chick ex ovo assays. The results confirmed the feasibility and efficacy of cryobioprinting as a single-step method for concurrent tissue biofabrication and storage.
