Abstract
Oxygen plays a crucial role in human embryogenesis, homeostasis, and tissue regeneration. Emerging engineered regenerative solutions call for novel oxygen delivery systems. To become a reality, these systems must consider physiological processes, oxygen release mechanisms and the target application. In this review, we explore the biological relevance of oxygen at both a cellular and tissue level, and the importance of its controlled delivery via engineered biomaterials and devices. Recent advances and upcoming trends in the field are also discussed with a focus on tissue-engineered constructs that could meet metabolic demands to facilitate regeneration.

Abstract
Insufficient vascularization is still a challenge that impedes bladder tissue engineering and results in unsatisfied smooth muscle regeneration. Since bladder regeneration is a complex articulated process, the aim of this study is to investigate whether combining multiple pathways by exploiting a combination of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive factors, contributes to the improvements of smooth muscle regeneration and vascularization in tissue-engineered bladder. Autologous endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and bladder smooth muscle cells (BSMCs) are cultured and incorporated into our previously prepared porcine bladder acellular matrix (BAM) for bladder augmentation in rabbits. Simultaneously, exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) mixed with Matrigel were injected around the implanted cells-BAM complex. In the results, compared with control rabbits received bladder augmentation with porcine BAM seeded with BSMCs, the experimental animals showed significantly improved smooth muscle regeneration and vascularization, along with more excellent functional recovery of tissue-engineered bladder, due to the additional combination of autologous EPCs and bioactive factors, including VEGF and PDGF-BB. Furthermore, cell tracking suggested that the seeded EPCs could be directly involved in neovascularization. Therefore, it may be an effective method to combine multiple pathways for tissue-engineering urinary bladder.

Recent trends and perspectives in reconstruction and regeneration of intra/extra-oral wounds using tissue-engineered oral mucosa equivalents. JAPANESE DENTAL SCIENCE REVIEW 2023; 59:365-374. [PMID: 37954029 PMCID: PMC10632115 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdsr.2023.10.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 10/19/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023] Open
Abstract
Many conditions, including cancer, trauma, and congenital anomalies, can damage the oral mucosa. Multiple cultures of oral mucosal cells have been used for biocompatibility tests and oral biology studies. In recent decades, the clinical translation of tissue-engineered products has progressed significantly in developing tangible therapies and inspiring advancements in medical science. However, the reconstruction of an intraoral mucosa defect remains a significant challenge. Despite the drawbacks of donor-site morbidity and limited tissue supply, the use of autologous oral mucosa remains the gold standard for oral mucosa reconstruction and repair. Tissue engineering offers a promising solution for repairing and reconstructing oral mucosa tissues. Cell- and scaffold-based tissue engineering approaches have been employed to treat various soft tissue defects, suggesting the potential clinical use of tissue-engineered oral mucosa (TEOMs). In this review, we first cover the recent trends in the reconstruction and regeneration of extra-/intra-oral wounds using TEOMs. Next, we describe the current status and challenges of TEOMs. Finally, future strategic approaches and potential technologies to support the advancement of TEOMs for clinical use are discussed.

Abstract
Human skin is particularly vulnerable to external damaging influences such as irradiation, extreme temperatures, chemical trauma, and certain systemic diseases, which reduce the skin's capacity for regeneration and restoration and can possibly lead to large-scale skin defects. To restore skin continuity in severe cases, surgical interventions such as the transplantation of autologous tissue are needed. Nevertheless, the coverage of larger skin defects caused by severe third-grade burns or extensive irradiation therapy is limited due to the depletion of uninjured autologous tissue. In such cases, many of the patient's epidermal cells can become available using biofabricated skin grafts, thereby restoring the skin's vital functions. Given the limited availability of autologous skin grafts for restoring integrity in large-scale defects, using bioprinted constructs as skin graft substitutes could offer an encouraging therapeutic alternative to conventional therapies for large-scale wounds, such as the transplantation of autologous tissue. Using layer-by-layer aggregation or volumetric bioprinting, inkjet bioprinting, laser-assisted bioprinting, or extrusion-based bioprinting, skin cells are deposited in a desired pattern. The resulting constructs may be used as skin graft substitutes to accelerate wound healing and reconstitute the physiological functions of the skin. In this review, we aimed to elucidate the current state of bioprinting within the context of skin tissue engineering and introduce and discuss different bioprinting techniques, possible approaches and materials, commonly used cell types, and strategies for graft vascularization for the production of bioprinted constructs for use as skin graft substitutes.

Abstract
Differentiated skin cells have limited self-renewal capacity; thus, the application of stem/progenitor cells, adult or induced stem cells, has attracted much attention for wound healing applications. Upon skin injury, vascularization, known as a highly dynamic process, occurs with the contribution of cells, the extracellular matrix, and relevant growth factors. Considering the importance of this process in tissue regeneration, several strategies have been proposed to enhance angiogenesis and accelerate wound healing. Previous studies report the effectiveness of stem/progenitor cells in skin wound healing by facilitating the vascularization process. This chapter reviews and highlights some of the key and recent investigations on application of stem/progenitor cells to induce skin revascularization after trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cell therapy holds great promise for cutaneous wound treatment but presents practical and clinical challenges, mainly related to the lack of a supportive and inductive microenvironment for cells after transplantation. Main: This review delineates the challenges and opportunities in cell therapies for acute and chronic wounds and highlights the contribution of biofabricated matrices to skin reconstruction. The complexity of the wound healing process necessitates the development of matrices with properties comparable to the extracellular matrix in the skin for their structure and composition. Over recent years, emerging biofabrication technologies have shown a capacity for creating complex matrices. In cell therapy, multifunctional material-based matrices have benefits in enhancing cell retention and survival, reducing healing time, and preventing infection and cell transplant rejection. Additionally, they can improve the efficacy of cell therapy, owing to their potential to modulate cell behaviors and regulate spatiotemporal patterns of wound healing. CONCLUSION The ongoing development of biofabrication technologies promises to deliver material-based matrices that are rich in supportive, phenotype patterning cell niches and are robust enough to provide physical protection for the cells during implantation.

Abstract
Much effort has been made to generate human skin organ in the laboratory. Yet, the current models are limited due to the lack of many critical biological and structural features of the skin. Importantly, these in vitro models lack appendages and fail to recapitulate the whole human skin construction. Thus, engineering a human skin with the capacity to generate all components, including appendages, is a major challenge. This review intends to provide an update on the recent efforts underway to regenerate appendage-bearing skin organs based on scaffold-free and scaffold-based bioengineering approaches. Although the mouse skin equivalents containing hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands have been established in vitro, there has been limited success in humans. A combination of biofabricated matrices and cell aggregates, such as organoids, can pave the way for generating skin substitutes with human-like biological, structural, and physical features. Accordingly, the formation of human skin organoids and reconstruction of vascularized skin equipped with immune cells prompt calls for more scientific research. The generation of appendage-bearing skin substitutes can be applied in practice for wound healing, hair restoration, and scar treatment.

Abstract
As the largest organ of the human body, the skin has a complex multi-layered structure. The composition of the skin includes cells, extracellular matrix (ECM), vascular networks, and other appendages. Because of the shortage of donor sites, skin substitutes are of great significance in the field of skin tissue repair. Moreover, skin models for disease research, drug screening, and cosmetic testing fall far short of the demand. Skin tissue engineering has made remarkable progress in developing skin models over the years. However, there are still several problems to be resolved. One of the crucial aspects is the lack of vascular systems for nutrient transport and waste disposal. Here, we will focus on the discussion and analysis of advanced manufacturing strategies for prevascularized skin, such as a scaffold-based method, cell coating technology, cell sheet engineering, skin-on-a-chip, and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting. These key challenges, which restrict the prevascularized skin and provide perspectives on future directions will also be highlighted.

Abstract
Abstract
Pathological scarring imposes a major clinical and social burden worldwide. Human cutaneous wounds are responsive to mechanical forces and convert mechanical cues to biochemical signals that eventually promote scarring. To understand the mechanotransduction pathways in cutaneous scarring and develop new mechanotherapy approaches to achieve optimal scarring, the current study highlights the mechanical behavior of unwounded and scarred skin as well as intra- and extracellular mechanisms behind keloid and hypertrophic scars. Additionally, the therapeutic interventions that promote optimal scar healing by mechanical means at the molecular, cellular or tissue level are extensively reviewed. The current literature highlights the significant role of fibroblasts in wound contraction and scar formation via differentiation into myofibroblasts. Thus, understanding myofibroblasts and their responses to mechanical loading allows the development of new scar therapeutics. A review of the current clinical and preclinical studies suggests that existing treatment strategies only reduce scarring on a small scale after wound closure and result in poor functional and aesthetic outcomes. Therefore, the perspective of mechanotherapies needs to consider the application of both mechanical forces and biochemical cues to achieve optimal scarring. Moreover, early intervention is critical in wound management; thus, mechanoregulation should be conducted during the healing process to avoid scar maturation. Future studies should either consider combining mechanical loading (pressure) therapies with tension offloading approaches for scar management or developing more effective early therapies based on contraction-blocking biomaterials for the prevention of pathological scarring.
