[PMID: 38764449 PMCID: PMC11101688 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.04.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/21/2024] Open
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
Bone defects from accidents, congenital conditions, and age-related diseases significantly impact quality of life. Recent advancements in bone tissue engineering (TE) involve biomaterial scaffolds, patient-derived cells, and bioactive agents, enabling functional bone regeneration. Stem cells, obtained from numerous sources including umbilical cord blood, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and dental pulp, hold immense potential in bone TE. Induced pluripotent stem cells and genetically modified stem cells can also be used. Proper manipulation of physical, chemical, and biological stimulation is crucial for their proliferation, maintenance, and differentiation. Stem cells contribute to osteogenesis, osteoinduction, angiogenesis, and mineralization, essential for bone regeneration. This review provides an overview of the latest developments in stem cell-based TE for repairing and regenerating defective bones.

Abstract
Materiobiology is an emerging field focused on the physiochemical properties of biomaterials concerning biological outcomes which includes but is not limited to the biological responses and bioactivity of surface-modified biomaterials. Herein, we report a novel in vitro characterization platform for characterizing nanoparticle surface-modified 3D printed PLA scaffolds. We have introduced innovative design parameters that were practical for ubiquitous in vitro assays like those utilizing 96 and 24-well plates. Subsequently, gold and silica nanoparticles were deposited using two low-temperature plasma-assisted processes namely plasma electroless reduction (PER) and dusty plasma on 3D scaffolds. Materiobiological testing began with nanoparticle surface modification optimization on 96 well plate design 3D scaffolds. We have employed 3D laser confocal imaging and scanning electron microscopy to study the deposition of nanoparticles. It was found that the formation and distribution of the nanoparticles were time-dependent. In vitro assays were performed utilizing an osteosarcoma (MG-63) cell as a model. These cells were grown on both 96 and 24 well plate design 3D scaffolds. Subsequently, we performed different in vitro assays such as cell viability, and fluorescence staining of cytoskeletal actin and DNA incorporation. The actin cytoskeleton staining showed more homogeneity in the cell monolayer growing on the gold nanoparticle-modified 3D scaffolds than the control 3D PLA scaffold. Furthermore, the mineralization and protein adsorption experiments conducted on 96 well plate design scaffolds have shown enhanced mineralization and bovine serum albumin adsorption for the gold nanoparticle-modified scaffolds compared to the control scaffolds. Taken together, this study reports the efficacy of this new in vitro platform in conducting more reliable and efficient materiobiology studies. It is also worth mentioning that this platform has significant futuristic potential for developing as a high throughput screening platform. Such platforms could have a significant impact on the systematic study of biocompatibility and bioactive mechanisms of nanoparticle-modified 3D-printed scaffolds for tissue engineering. It would also provide unique ways to investigate mechanisms of biological responses and subsequent bioactive mechanisms for implantable biomaterials. Moreover, this platform can derive more consistent and reliable in vitro results which can improve the success rate of further in vivo experiments.

Abstract
The avascular nature of hyaline cartilage results in limited spontaneous self-repair and regenerative capabilities when damaged. Recent advances in three-dimensional bioprinting have enabled the precise dispensing of cell-laden biomaterials, commonly referred to as 'bioinks', which are emerging as promising solutions for tissue regeneration. An effective bioink for cartilage tissue engineering needs to create a micro-environment that promotes cell differentiation and supports neocartilage tissue formation. In this study, we introduced an innovative bioink composed of photocurable acrylated type I collagen (COLMA), thiol-modified hyaluronic acid (THA), and poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) for 3D bioprinting cartilage grafts using human nasal chondrocytes. Both collagen and hyaluronic acid, being key components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the human body, provide essential biological cues for tissue regeneration. We evaluated three formulations - COLMA, COLMA+THA, and COLMA+THA+PEGDA - for their printability, cell viability, structural integrity, and capabilities in forming cartilage-like ECM. The addition of THA and PEGDA significantly enhanced these properties, showcasing the potential of this bioink in advancing applications in cartilage repair and reconstructive surgery.

Abstract
Tissue engineering shows promise in repairing extensive bone defects. The promotion of proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) by biological scaffolds has a significant impact on bone regeneration outcomes. In this study we used an injectable hydrogel, known as aminated mesoporous silica gel composite hydrogel (MSNs-NH2@GelMA), loaded with a natural drug, processed pyritum (PP), to promote healing of bone defects. The mechanical properties of the composite hydrogel were significantly superior to those of the blank hydrogel. In vitro experiments revealed that the composite hydrogel stimulated the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, and significantly increased the expression of type I collagen (Col 1), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx 2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN). In vivo experiments showed that the composite hydrogel promoted the generation of new bones. These findings provide evidence that the composite hydrogel pyritum-loaded holds promise as a biomaterial for bone repair.

Abstract
Cryogels exhibit unique shape memory with full recovery and structural stability features after multiple injections. These constructs also possess enhanced cell permeability and nutrient diffusion when compared to typical bulk hydrogels. Volumetric processing of cryogels functionalized with nanosized units has potential to widen their biomedical applications, however this has remained challenging and relatively underexplored. In this study, we report a novel methodology that combines suspension 3D printing with directional freezing for the fabrication of nanocomposite cryogels with configurable anisotropy. When compared to conventional bulk or freeze-dried hydrogels, nanocomposite cryogel formulations exhibit excellent shape recovery (>95%) and higher pore connectivity. Suspension printing, assisted with a prechilled metal grid, was optimized to induce anisotropy. The addition of calcium- and phosphate-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles into the cryogel matrix enhanced bioactivity toward orthopedic applications without hindering the printing process. Notably, the nanocomposite 3D printed cryogels exhibit injectable shape memory while also featuring a lamellar topography. The fabrication of these constructs was highly reproducible and exhibited potential for a cell-delivery injectable cryogel with no cytotoxicity to human-derived adipose stem cells. Hence, in this work, it was possible to combine a gravity defying 3D printed methodology with injectable and controlled anisotropic macroporous structures containing bioactive nanoparticles. This methodology ameliorates highly tunable injectable 3D printed anisotropic nanocomposite cryogels with a user-programmable degree of structural complexity.

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
Severe bone defects resulting from trauma and diseases remain a persistent clinical challenge. In this study, a hierarchical biomimetic microporous hydrogel composite scaffold was constructed by mimicking the hierarchical structure of bone. Initially, gelatin methacrylamide (GelMA) and methacrylic anhydride silk fibroin (SilMA) were synthesized, and GelMA/SilMA inks with suitable rheological and mechanical properties were prepared. Biomimetic micropores were then generated by using an aqueous two-phase emulsification method. Subsequently, biomimetic microporous GelMA/SilMA was mixed with hydroxyapatite (HAp) to prepare biomimetic microporous GelMA/SilMA/HAp ink. Hierarchical biomimetic microporous GelMA/SilMA/HAp (M-GSH) scaffolds were then fabricated through digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing. Finally, in vitro experiments were conducted to investigate cell adhesion, proliferation, and inward migration as well as osteogenic differentiation and vascular regeneration effects. In vivo experiments indicated that the biomimetic microporous scaffold significantly promoted tissue integration and bone regeneration after 12 weeks of implantation, achieving 42.39% bone volume fraction regeneration. In summary, this hierarchical biomimetic microporous scaffold provides a promising strategy for the repair and treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing of bone scaffolds using digital light processing (DLP) bioprinting technology empowers the treatment of patients suffering from bone disorders and defects through the fabrication of cell-laden patient-specific scaffolds. Here, we demonstrate the visible-light-induced photo-crosslinking of methacrylate-κ-carrageenan (MA-κ-CA) mixed with bioactive silica nanoparticles (BSNPs) to fabricate 3D composite hydrogels using digital light processing (DLP) printing. The 3D printing of complex bone structures, such as the gyroid, was demonstrated with high precision and resolution. DLP-printed 3D composite hydrogels of MA-κ-CA-BSNP were prepared and systematically assessed for their macroporous structure, swelling, and degradation characteristics. The viscosity, rheological, and mechanical properties were also investigated for the influence of nanoparticle incorporation in the MA-κ-CA hydrogels. The in vitro study performed with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblast-laden scaffolds of MA-κ-CA-BSNP revealed high cell viability, no cytotoxicity, and proliferation over 21 days with markedly enhanced osteogenic differentiation compared to neat polymeric scaffolds. Furthermore, no inflammation was observed in the 21-day study involving the in vivo examination of DLP-printed 3D composite scaffolds in a Wistar rat model. Overall, the observed results for the DLP-printed 3D composite scaffolds of MA-κ-CA and BSNP demonstrate their biocompatibility and suitability for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease that causes pain and disability in adults, affecting ≈300 million people worldwide. It is caused by damage to cartilage, including cellular inflammation and destruction of the extracellular matrix (ECM), leading to limited self-repairing ability due to the lack of blood vessels and nerves in the cartilage tissue. Organoid technology has emerged as a promising approach for cartilage repair, but constructing joint organoids with their complex structures and special mechanisms is still challenging. To overcome these boundaries, 3D bioprinting technology allows for the precise design of physiologically relevant joint organoids, including shape, structure, mechanical properties, cellular arrangement, and biological cues to mimic natural joint tissue. In this review, the authors will introduce the biological structure of joint tissues, summarize key procedures in 3D bioprinting for cartilage repair, and propose strategies for constructing joint organoids using 3D bioprinting. The authors also discuss the challenges of using joint organoids' approaches and perspectives on their future applications, opening opportunities to model joint tissues and response to joint disease treatment.

Abstract
3D bioprinting is recognized as a promising biomanufacturing technology that enables the reproducible and high-throughput production of tissues and organs through the deposition of different bioinks. Especially, bioinks based on loaded cells allow for immediate cellularity upon printing, providing opportunities for enhanced cell differentiation for organ manufacturing and regeneration. Thus, extensive applications have been found in the field of tissue engineering. The performance of the bioinks determines the functionality of the entire printed construct throughout the bioprinting process. It is generally expected that bioinks should support the encapsulated cells to achieve their respective cellular functions and withstand normal physiological pressure exerted on the printed constructs. The bioinks should also exhibit a suitable printability for precise deposition of the constructs. These characteristics are essential for the functional development of tissues and organs in bioprinting and are often achieved through the combination of different biomaterials. In this review, we have discussed the cutting-edge outstanding performance of different bioinks for printing various human tissues and organs in recent years. We have also examined the current status of 3D bioprinting and discussed its future prospects in relieving or curing human health problems.

Abstract
Among non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent, accounting for approximately 17 million deaths per year. Despite conventional treatment, cardiac tissue engineering emerges as a potential alternative for the advancement and treatment of these patients, using biomaterials to replace or repair cardiac tissues. Among these materials, gelatin in its methacrylated form (GelMA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer with adjustable biophysical properties. Furthermore, gelatin has the ability to replace and perform collagen-like functions for cell development in vitro. The interest in using GelMA hydrogels combined with nanomaterials is increasingly growing to promote the responsiveness to external stimuli and improve certain properties of these hydrogels by exploring the incorporation of nanomaterials into these hydrogels to serve as electrical signaling conductive elements. This review highlights the applications of electrically conductive nanomaterials associated with GelMA hydrogels for the development of structures for cardiac tissue engineering, by focusing on studies that report the combination of GelMA with nanomaterials, such as gold and carbon derivatives (carbon nanotubes and graphene), in addition to the possibility of applying these materials in 3D tissue engineering, developing new possibilities for cardiac studies.

Abstract
Loading nanoparticles into hydrogels has been a conventional approach to augment the printability of ink and the physicochemical characteristics of scaffolds in three-dimensional (3D) printing. However, the efficacy of this enhancement has often proven to be limited. We amalgamate electrospun nanofibers with 3D printing techniques to fabricate a composite scaffold reminiscent of a "reinforced concrete" structure, aimed at addressing bone defects. These supple silica nanofibers are synthesized through a dual-step process involving high-speed homogenization and low-temperature ball milling technology. The nanofibers are homogeneously blended with sodium alginate to create the printing ink. The resultant ink was extruded seamlessly, displaying commendable molding properties, thereby yielding scaffolds with favorable macroscopic morphology. In contrast to nanoparticle-reinforced scaffolds, composite scaffolds containing nanofibers exhibit superior mechanical attributes and bioactivity. These nanofiber composite scaffolds demonstrate enhanced osteoinductive properties in both in vitro and in vivo evaluations. To conclude, this research introduces a novel 3D printing approach where the fabricated nanofiber-infused 3D-printed scaffolds hold the potential to revolutionize the realm of 3D printing in the domain of bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The development of suitable bioinks with high printability, mechanical strength, biodegradability, and biocompatibility is a key challenge for the clinical translation of 3D constructs produced with bioprinting technologies. In this work, we developed a new type of nanocomposite bioinks containing thiolated mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) that act as active fillers within norbornene-functionalized hydrogels. The MSNs could rapidly covalently crosslink the hydrogels upon exposure to UV light. The mechanical properties of the gels could be modulated from 9.3 to 19.7 kPa with increasing concentrations of MSN. The ability of the MSN to covalently crosslink polymeric networks was, however, significantly influenced by polymer architecture and the number of functional groups. Modification of the outer surface of MSNs with matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) sensitive peptides (MSN-MMPs) resulted in proteinase K and MMP-9 enzyme responsive biodegradable bioinks. Additional cysteine modified RGD peptide incorporation enhanced cell-matrix interactions and reduced the gelation time for bioprinting. The nanocomposite bioinks could be printed by using extrusion-based bioprinting. Our nanocomposite bioinks preserved their shape during in vitro studies and encapsulated MG63 cells preserved their viability and proliferated within the bioinks. As such, our nanocomposite bioinks are promising bioinks for creating bioprinted constructs with tunable mechanical and degradation properties.

Abstract
The periosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue covering bone. It is an essential component for bone development and fracture healing. There has been considerable research exploring the application of the periosteum in bone regeneration since the 19th century. An increasing number of studies are focusing on periosteal progenitor cells found within the periosteum and the use of hydrogels as scaffold materials for periosteum engineering and guided bone development. Here, we provide an overview of the research investigating the use of the periosteum for bone repair, with consideration given to the anatomy and function of the periosteum, the importance of the cambium layer, the culture of periosteal progenitor cells, periosteum-induced ossification, periosteal perfusion, periosteum engineering, scaffold vascularization, and hydrogel-based synthetic periostea.

Intracorneal Implantation of 3D Bioprinted Scaffolds Containing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Using Femtosecond-Laser-Assisted Intrastromal Keratoplasty. Macromol Biosci 2023; 23:e2200422.

Abstract
Injury of the cornea is a complex biological process. Regeneration of the corneal stroma can be facilitated by the presence of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and application of tissue equivalents. A new tissue-engineering strategy for corneal stroma regeneration is presented using cellularized 3D bioprinted hydrogel constructs implanted into organ cultured porcine corneas using femtosecond laser-assisted intrastromal keratoplasty. The ex vivo cultured, MSC-loaded 3D bioprinted structures remain intact, support cell survival, and contain de novo synthesized extracellular matrix components and migrating cells throughout the observation period. At day 14 postimplantation, the cellularized tissue equivalents contain few or no cells, as demonstrated by optical coherence tomography imaging and immunofluorescent staining. This study successfully combines a laboratory-based method with modern, patient-care practice to produce a cell-laden tissue equivalent for corneal implantation. Optimal bioink composition and cellularization of tissue equivalents are essential in fine-tuning a method to promote the current technique as a future treatment modality.

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
Therapeutic bioengineering based on stem cell therapy holds great promise in biomedical applications. However, the application of this treatment is limited in orthopedics because of their poor survival, weak localization, and low cell retention. In this work, magneto-mechanical bioengineered cells consisting of magnetic silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are prepared to alleviate osteoporosis. The magneto-mechanical bioengineered MSCs with spatial localization, cell retention, and directional tracking capabilities could be mediated by a guided magnetic field (MF) in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, high uptake rates of the MSNPs ensure the efficient construction of magnetically controlled MSCs within 2 h. In conjunction with external MF, the magneto-mechanical bioengineered MSCs have the potential for the activation of the YAP/β-catenin signaling pathway, which could further promote osteogenesis, mineralization, and angiogenesis. The synergistic effects of MSNPs and guided MF could also decline bone resorption to rebalance bone metabolism in bone loss diseases. In vivo experiments confirm that the functional MSCs and guided MF could effectively alleviate postmenopausal osteoporosis, and the bone mass of the treated osteoporotic bones by using the bioengineered cells for 6 weeks is nearly identical to that of the healthy ones. Our results provide a new avenue for osteoporosis management and treatment, which contribute to the future advancement of magneto-mechanical bioengineering and treatment.

Abstract
Gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are photosensitive with good biocompatibility and adjustable mechanical properties. The GelMA hydrogel composite system is a prospective therapeutic material based on a tissue engineering platform for treating intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration (IVDD). The potential application value of the GelMA hydrogel composite system in the treatment of IVDD mainly includes three aspects: first, optimization of the current clinical treatment methods, including conservative treatment and surgical treatment; second, regeneration of IVD cells to reverse or repair IVDD; and finally, IVDD instead of injury plays a biomechanical role. In this paper, we summarized and analyzed the preparation of GelMA hydrogels and their excellent biological characteristics as carriers and comprehensively demonstrated the research status and prospects of GelMA hydrogel composite systems in IVDD treatment. In addition, the challenges facing the application of GelMA hydrogel composite systems and the progress of research on new hydrogels modified by GelMA hydrogels are presented. Hopefully, this study will provide theoretical guidance for the future application of GelMA hydrogel composite systems in IVDD.

Abstract
Tissue injury, one of the most common traumatic injuries in daily life, easily leads to secondary wound infections. To promote wound healing and reduce scarring, various kinds of wound dressings, such as gauze, bandages, sponges, patches, and microspheres, have been developed for wound healing. Among them, microsphere-based tissue dressings have attracted increasing attention due to the advantage of easy to fabricate, excellent physicochemical performance and superior drug release ability. In this review, we first introduced the common methods for microspheres preparation, such as emulsification-solvent method, electrospray method, microfluidic technology as well as phase separation methods. Next, we summarized the common biomaterials for the fabrication of the microspheres including natural polymers and synthetic polymers. Then, we presented the application of the various microspheres from different processing methods in wound healing and other applications. Finally, we analyzed the limitations and discussed the future development direction of microspheres in the future.

Abstract
Nanocomposites and low-viscous materials lack translation in additive manufacturing technologies due to deficiency in rheological requirements and heterogeneity of their preparation. This work proposes the chemical crosslinking between composing phases as a universal approach for mitigating such issues. The model system is composed of amine-functionalized bioactive glass nanoparticles (BGNP) and light-responsive methacrylated bovine serum albumin (BSAMA) which further allows post-print photocrosslinking. The interfacial interaction was conducted by 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide crosslinking agent and N-Hydroxysuccinimide between BGNP-grafted amines and BSAMA's carboxylic groups. Different chemical crosslinking amounts and percentages of BGNP in the nanocomposites were tested. The improved interface interactions increased the elastic and viscous modulus of all formulations. More pronounced increases were found with the highest crosslinking agent amounts (4 % w/v) and BGNP concentrations (10 % w/w). This formulation also displayed the highest Young's modulus of the double-crosslinked construct. All composite formulations could effectively immobilize the BGNP and turn an extremely low viscous material into an appropriate inks for 3d printing technologies, attesting for the systems' tunability. Thus, we describe a versatile methodology which can successfully render tunable and light-responsive nanocomposite inks with homogeneously distributed bioactive fillers. This system can further reproducibly recapitulate phases of other natures, broadening applicability.

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
The use of three-dimensional bioprinting technology combined with the principle of tissue engineering is important for the construction of tissue or organ regeneration microenvironments. As a three-dimensional bioprinting ink, hydrogels need to be highly printable and provide a stiff and cell-friendly microenvironment. At present, hydrogels are used as bioprinting inks in tissue engineering. However, there is still a lack of summary of the latest 3D printing technology and the properties of hydrogel materials. In this paper, the materials commonly used as hydrogel bioinks; the advanced technologies including inkjet bioprinting, extrusion bioprinting, laser-assisted bioprinting, stereolithography bioprinting, suspension bioprinting, and digital 3D bioprinting technologies; printing characterization including printability and fidelity; biological properties, and the application fields of bioprinting hydrogels in bone tissue engineering, skin tissue engineering, cardiovascular tissue engineering are reviewed, and the current problems and future directions are prospected.

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
Integrated regeneration of periodontal tissues remains a challenge in current clinical applications. Due to the tunable physical characteristics and the precise control of the scaffold microarchitecture, three-dimensionally (3D) printed gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)-based scaffold has emerged as a promising strategy for periodontal tissue regeneration. However, the optimization of the printing biomaterial links the formulation and the relationship between the composition and structures of the printed scaffolds and their comprehensive properties (e.g. mechanical strength, degradation, and biological behaviors) remains unclear. Here, in this work, a novel mesoporous bioactive glass (BG)/GelMA biomimetic scaffold with a large pore size (∼300 μm) was developed by extrusion-based 3D printing. Our results showed that the incorporation of mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (BG NPs) significantly improved shape fidelity, surface roughness, and bioactivity of 3D-printed macroporous GelMA scaffolds, resulting in the enhanced effects on cell attachment and promoting osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation in human periodontal ligament cells. The excellent maintenance of the macropore structure, the visibly improved cells spreading, the release of bioactive ions (Si4+, Ca2+), the upregulation of gene expressions of osteogenesis and cementogensis, and the increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and calcium nodules suggested that BG NPs could endow GelMA-based scaffolds with excellent structural stability and the ability to promote osteogenic/cementogenic differentiation. Our findings demonstrated the great potential of the newly formulated biomaterial inks and biomimetic BG/GelMA scaffolds for being used in periodontal tissue regeneration and provide important insights into the understanding of cell-scaffold interaction in promoting the regeneration of functional periodontal tissues.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) embedded printing is emerging as a potential solution for the fabrication of complex biological structures and with ultrasoft biomaterials. For the supporting medium, bulk gels can support a wide range of bioinks with higher printing resolution as well as better finishing surfaces than granular microgel baths. However, the difficulties of regulating the physical properties of existing bulk gel supporting baths limit the further development of this method. This work has developed a bulk gel supporting bath with easily regulable physical properties to facilitate soft-material fabrication. The proposed bath is composed based on the hydrophobic association between a hydrophobically modified hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (H-HPMC) and Pluronic F-127 (PF-127). Its rheological properties can be easily regulated; in the preprinting stage by varying the relative concentration of components, during printing by changing the temperature, and postprinting by adding additives with strong hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity. This has made the supporting bath not only available for various bioinks with a range of printing windows but also easy to be removed. Also, the removal strategy is independent of printing conditions like temperature and ions, which empowers the bath to hold great potential for the embedded printing of commonly used biomaterials. The adjustable rheological properties of the bath were leveraged to characterize the embedded printing quantitatively, involving the disturbance during the printing, filament cross-sectional shape, printing resolution, continuity, and the coalescence between adjacent filaments. The match between the bioink and the bath was also explored. Furthermore, low-viscosity bioinks (with 0.008-2.4 Pa s viscosity) were patterned into various 3D complex delicate soft structures (with a 0.5-5 kPa compressive modulus). It is believed that such an easily regulable assembled bath could serve as an available tool to support the complex biological structure fabrication and open unique prospects for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Current tissue engineering techniques frequently rely on hydrogels to support cell growth, as these materials strongly mimic the extracellular matrix. However, hydrogels often need ad hoc customization to generate specific tissue constructs. One popular strategy for hydrogel functionalization is to add nanoparticles to them. Here, we present a plant viral nanoparticle the turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), as a promising additive for gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels for the engineering of mammalian tissues. TuMV is a flexuous, elongated, tubular protein nanoparticle (700–750 nm long and 12–15 nm wide) and is incapable of infecting mammalian cells. These flexuous nanoparticles spontaneously form entangled nanomeshes in aqueous environments, and we hypothesized that this nanomesh structure could serve as a nanoscaffold for cells. Human fibroblasts loaded into GelMA-TuMV hydrogels exhibited similar metabolic activity to that of cells loaded in pristine GelMA hydrogels. However, cells cultured in GelMA-TuMV formed clusters and assumed an elongated morphology in contrast to the homogeneous and confluent cultures seen on GelMA surfaces, suggesting that the nanoscaffold material per se did not favor cell adhesion. We also covalently conjugated TuMV particles with epidermal growth factor (EGF) using a straightforward reaction scheme based on a Staudinger reaction. BJ cells cultured on the functionalized scaffolds increased their confluency by approximately 30% compared to growth with unconjugated EGF. We also provide examples of the use of GelMA-TuMV hydrogels in different biofabrication scenarios, include casting, flow-based-manufacture of filaments, and bioprinting. We envision TuMV as a versatile nanobiomaterial that can be useful for tissue engineering.

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.

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
Bone defects, as one of the most urgent problems in the orthopedic clinic, have attracted much attention from the biomedical community and society. Hydrogels have been widely used in the biomedical field for tissue engineering research because of their excellent hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and degradability. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels, as a new type of smart biomaterial, have more advantages in sensing external physical (light, temperature, pressure, electric field, magnetic field, etc.), chemical (pH, redox reaction, ions, etc.), biochemical (glucose, enzymes, etc.) and other different stimuli. They can respond to stimuli such as the characteristics of the 3D shape and solid-liquid phase state, and exhibit special properties (injection ability, self-repair, shape memory, etc.), thus becoming an ideal material to provide cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, and achieve precise bone defect repair. This review is focused on the classification, design concepts, and research progress of stimulus-responsive hydrogels based on different types of external environmental stimuli, aiming at introducing new ideas and methods for repairing complex bone defects.

Abstract
Biomaterials at nanoscale is a fast-expanding research field with which extensive studies have been conducted on understanding the interactions between cells and their surrounding microenvironments as well as intracellular communications. Among many kinds of nanoscale biomaterials, mesoporous fibrous structures are especially attractive as a promising approach to mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) for cell and tissue research. Silica is a well-studied biocompatible, natural inorganic material that can be synthesized as morpho-genetically active scaffolds by various methods. This review compares silica nanofibers (SNFs) to other ECM materials such as hydrogel, polymers, and decellularized natural ECM, summarizes fabrication techniques for SNFs, and discusses different strategies of constructing ECM using SNFs. In addition, the latest progress on SNFs synthesis and biomimetic ECM substrates fabrication is summarized and highlighted. Lastly, we look at the wide use of SNF-based ECM scaffolds in biological applications, including stem cell regulation, tissue engineering, drug release, and environmental applications.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix and protein-based biomaterials emerge as attractive sources to produce scaffolds due to their great properties regarding biocompatibility and bioactivity. In addition, there are concerns regarding the use of animal-derived supplements in cell culture not only due to the risk of transmission of xenogeneic contaminants and antigens but also due to ethical issues associated with collection methods. Herein, a novel human protein-derived porous scaffold produced from platelet lysates (PL) as platform for xeno-free 3D cell culture has been proposed. Human PL are chemically modified with methacryloyl groups (PLMA) to make them photocrosslinkable and used as precursor material to produce PLMA-based sponges. The herein reported human-based sponges have highly tunable morphology and mechanical properties, with an internal porous structure and Young's modulus dependent on the concentration of the polymer. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) are cultured on top of PLMA sponges to validate their use for 3D cell culture in xeno-free conditions. After 14 days hASCs remained viable, and results show that cells are able to proliferate during time even in the absence of animal-derived supplementation. This study reveals for the first time that such scaffolds can be promising platforms for culture of human cells avoiding the use of any animal-derived supplement.

Silicon-Gold Nanoparticles Affect Wharton's Jelly Phenotype and Secretome during Tri-Lineage Differentiation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042134.

Abstract
Multiple studies have demonstrated that various nanoparticles (NPs) stimulate osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and inhibit adipogenic ones. The mechanisms of these effects are not determined. The aim of this paper was to estimate Wharton’s Jelly MSCs phenotype and humoral factor production during tri-lineage differentiation per se and in the presence of silicon–gold NPs. Silicon (SiNPs), gold (AuNPs), and 10% Au-doped Si nanoparticles (SiAuNPs) were synthesized by laser ablation, characterized, and studied in MSC cultures before and during differentiation. Humoral factor production (n = 41) was analyzed by Luminex technology. NPs were nontoxic, did not induce ROS production, and stimulated G-CSF, GM-CSF, VEGF, CXCL1 (GRO) production in four day MSC cultures. During MSC differentiation, all NPs stimulated CD13 and CD90 expression in osteogenic cultures. MSC differentiation resulted in a decrease in multiple humoral factor production to day 14 of incubation. NPs did not significantly affect the production in chondrogenic cultures and stimulated it in both osteogenic and adipogenic ones. The major difference in the protein production between osteogenic and adipogenic MSC cultures in the presence of NPs was VEGF level, which was unaffected in osteogenic cells and 4–9 times increased in adipogenic ones. The effects of NPs decreased in a row AuNPs > SiAuNPs > SiNPs. Taken collectively, high expression of CD13 and CD90 by MSCs and critical level of VEGF production can, at least, partially explain the stimulatory effect of NPs on MSC osteogenic differentiation.

Besides osteoconductivity and a high degradation rate, mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) are specific for their highly ordered channel structure and high specific surface area, making them suitable as drug and/or growth factor delivery systems. On the other hand, the mesoporous channel structure and MBG composition can have an effect on common cell evaluation assays, leading to inconclusive results. This effect is especially important when MBG is mixed in composite bioinks, together with cells. Additionally, the hydrogel component of the ink can influence the degradation of MBG, leading to different ion releases, which can additionally affect the analyses. Hence, our aim here was to show how the MBG structure and composition influence common cell viability and differentiation assays when calcium (Ca)- or magnesium (Mg)-containing glass is part of an alginate-based composite bioink. We suggested pre-labeling of cells with DiI prior to bioprinting and staining with calcein-AM to allow identification of metabolically active cells expressing signals in both green and red channels, allowing the use of fluorescence imaging for cell viability evaluations in the presence of high amounts (7 wt %) of MBGs. The release and uptake of ions during degradation of CaMBG and MgMBG were significantly changed by alginate in the composite bioinks, as confirmed by higher release and uptake from bulk glasses. Additionally, we detected a burst release of Mg2+ from composites only after 24 h of incubation. Furthermore, we demonstrated that released ions and the mesoporous channel structure affect the measurement of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase activity (ALP) in bioprinted composite scaffolds. Measured LDH activity was significantly decreased in the presence of CaMBG. On the other hand, the presence of MgMBG induced increased signal measured for the ALP. Taken together, our findings show how composite bioinks containing MBGs can interfere with common analyses, obtaining misleading results.

Abstract
Native collagen doughs were processed using a syringe-based extrusion 3D printer to obtain collagen scaffolds. Before processing, the rheological properties of the doughs were analyzed to determine the optimal 3D printing conditions. Samples showed a high shear-thinning behavior, reported beneficial in the 3D printing process. In addition, tetrahydrocurcumin (THC) was incorporated into the dough formulation and its effect on collagen structure, as well as the resulting scaffold's suitability for wound healing applications, were assessed. The denaturation peak observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), along with the images of the scaffolds' surfaces assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), showed that the fibrillar structure of collagen was maintained. These outcomes were correlated with X-ray diffraction (XRD) results, which showed an increase of the lateral packaging of collagen chains was observed in the samples with a THC content up to 4%, while a higher content of THC considerably decreased the structural order of collagen. Furthermore, physical interactions between collagen and THC molecules were observed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Additionally, all samples showed swelling and a controlled release of THC. These results along with the mucoadhesive properties of collagen suggested the potential of these THC-collagen scaffolds as sustained THC delivery systems.

Abstract
Transplanting stem cells with the abilities of self-renewal and differentiation is one of the most effective ways to treat many diseases. In order to optimize the therapeutic effect of stem cell transplantation, it is necessary to intervene in stem cell differentiation. Inorganic nanomaterials (NMs), due to their unique physical and chemical properties, can affect the adhesion, migration, proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. In addition, inorganic NMs have huge specific surface area and modifiability that can be used as vectors to transport plasmids, proteins or small molecules to further interfere with the fate of stem cells. In this mini review, we summarized the recent advances of common inorganic NMs in regulating stem cells differentiation, and the effects of the stiffness, size and shape of inorganic NMs on stem cell behavior were discussed. In addition, we further analyzed the existing obstacles and corresponding perspectives of the application of inorganic NMs in the field of stem cells.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an emerging tissue engineering approach that aims to develop cell or biomolecule-laden, complex polymeric scaffolds with high precision, using hydrogel-based "bioinks". Hydrogels are water-swollen, highly crosslinked polymer networks that are soft, quasi-solid, and can support and protect biological materials. However, traditional hydrogels have weak mechanical properties and cannot retain complex structures. They must be reinforced with physical and chemical manipulations to produce a mechanically resilient bioink. Over the past few years, we have witnessed an increased use of nanoparticles and biological moiety-functionalized nanoparticles to fabricate new bioinks. Nanoparticles of varied size, shape, and surface chemistries can provide a unique solution to this problem primarily because of three reasons: (a) nanoparticles can mechanically reinforce hydrogels through physical and chemical interactions. This can favorably influence the bioink's 3D printability and structural integrity by modulating its rheological, biomechanical, and biochemical properties, allowing greater flexibility to print a wide range of structures; (b) nanoparticles can introduce new bio-functionalities to the hydrogels, which is a key metric of a bioink's performance, influencing both cell-material and cell-cell interactions within the hydrogel; (c) nanoparticles can impart "smart" features to the bioink, making the tissue constructs responsive to external stimuli. Responsiveness of the hydrogel to magnetic field, electric field, pH changes, and near-infrared light can be made possible by the incorporation of nanoparticles. Additionally, bioink polymeric networks with nanoparticles can undergo advanced chemical crosslinking, allowing greater flexibility to print structures with varied biomechanical properties. Taken together, the unique properties of various nanoparticles can help bioprint intricate constructs, bringing the process one step closer to complex tissue structure and organ printing. In this review, we explore the design principles and multifunctional properties of various nanomaterials and nanocomposite hydrogels for potential, primarily extrusion-based bioprinting applications. We illustrate the significance of biocompatibility of the designed nanocomposite hydrogel-based bioink for clinical translation and discuss the different parameters that affect cell fate after cell-nanomaterial interaction. Finally, we critically assess the current challenges of nanoengineering bioinks and provide insight into the future directions of potential hydrogel bioinks in the rapidly evolving field of bioprinting.

Abstract
The efficient and safe delivery of therapeutic drugs, proteins, and nucleic acids are essential for meaningful therapeutic benefits. The field of nanomedicine shows promising implications in the development of therapeutics by delivering diagnostic and therapeutic compounds. Nanomedicine development has led to significant advances in the design and engineering of nanocarrier systems with supra-molecular structures. Smart mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), with excellent biocompatibility, tunable physicochemical properties, and site-specific functionalization, offer efficient and high loading capacity as well as robust and targeted delivery of a variety of payloads in a controlled fashion. Such unique nanocarriers should have great potential for challenging biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering, bioimaging techniques, stem cell research, and cancer therapies. However, in vivo applications of these nanocarriers should be further validated before clinical translation. To this end, this review begins with a brief introduction of MSNs properties, targeted drug delivery, and controlled release with a particular emphasis on their most recent diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
