Abstract
Spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, and neurosurgery procedures usually lead to neural tissue damage. Self-assembled peptide (SAP) hydrogels, a type of innovative hierarchical nanofiber-forming peptide sequences serving as hydrogelators, have emerged as a promising solution for repairing tissue defects and promoting neural tissue regeneration. SAPs possess numerous features, such as adaptable morphologies, biocompatibility, injectability, tunable mechanical stability, and mimicking of the native extracellular matrix. This review explores the capacity of neural cell regeneration and examines the critical aspects of SAPs in neuroregeneration, including their biochemical composition, topology, mechanical behavior, conductivity, and degradability. Additionally, it delves into the latest strategies involving SAPs for central or peripheral neural tissue engineering. Finally, the prospects of SAP hydrogel design and development in the realm of neuroregeneration are discussed.

Bioelectromagnetics 2024. [PMID: 38807301 DOI: 10.1002/bem.22508] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 04/23/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of extremely low frequency-pulsed electromagnetic fields (ELF-PEMF) in accelerating the wound healing process in vitro and in vivo. Our study focuses specifically on ELF-PEMF applied with the Magnomega® device and aims to assess their effect during the main stages of the proliferative phase of dermal wound closure, in vitro. Thus, after the characterization of the EMFs delivered by the Magnomega® unit, primary culture of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were exposed, or not for the control culture, to 10-12 and 100 Hz ELF-PEMF. These parameters are used in clinical practice by physiotherapists in order to enhance healing of dermal lesions in patients. HDFs proliferation was first assessed and revealed an increase in the expression of one of the two genetic markers of cell proliferation tested (PCNA and MKI67), after initial exposure of the cells to 10-12 Hz PEMF. Next, migration of HDFs was investigated by performing scratch assays on HDF layers. The observed wound closure kinetics corroborate the early organization of actin stress fibers that was revealed in the cytoplasm of HDFs exposed to 100 Hz ELF-PEMF. Also, maturation of HDFs into myofibroblasts was significantly increased in cells exposed to 10-12 or to 100 Hz PEMF. The present study is the first to demonstrate, in vitro, an early stimulation of HDFs, after their exposure to ELF-PEMF delivered by the Magnomega® device, which could contribute to an acceleration of the wound healing process.

Abstract
Rapid surface charge mapping of a solid surface remains a challenge. In this study, we present a novel microchip based on liquid crystals for assessing the surface charge distribution of a planar or soft surface. This chip enables rapid measurements of the local surface charge distribution of a charged surface. The chip consists of a micropillar array fabricated on a transparent indium tin oxide substrate, while the liquid crystal is used to fill in the gaps between the micropillar structures. When an object is placed on top of the chip, the local surface charge (or zeta potential) influences the orientation of the liquid crystal molecules, resulting in changes in the magnitude of transmitted light. By measuring the intensity of the transmitted light, the distribution of the surface charge can be accurately quantified. We calibrated the chip in a three-electrode configuration and demonstrated the validity of the chip for rapid surface charge mapping using a borosilicate glass slide. This chip offers noninvasive, rapid mapping of surface charges on charged surfaces, with no need for physical or chemical modifications, and has broad potential applications in biomedical research and advanced material design.

Abstract
Multifunctional hydrogel adhesives inhibiting infections and enabling the electrical stimulation (ES) of tissue reparation are highly desirable for the healing of surgical wounds and other skin injuries. Herein, a therapeutic nanocomposite hydrogel is designed by integrating β-cyclodextrin-embedded Ag nanoparticles (CDAgNPs) in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix enhanced with free β-cyclodextrin (CD) and an atypical macromolecule made of β-glucan grafted with hyaluronic acid (HAG). The main objective is to develop a biocompatible dressing combining the electroconductivity and antibacterial activity of CDAgNPs with the cohesiveness and porosity of PVA and the anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and cell proliferation-promoting properties of HAG. The last component, CD, is added to strengthen the network structure of the hydrogel. PVA/CD/HAG/CDAgNP exhibited excellent adhesion strength, biocompatibility, electroconductivity, and antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria. In addition, the nanocomposite hydrogel has a swelling ratio and water retention capacity suitable to serve as a wound dressing. PVA/CD/HAG/CDAgNP promoted the proliferation of fibroblast in vitro, accelerated the healing of skin wounds in an animal model, and is hemostatic. Upon ES, the PVA/CD/HAG/CDAgNP nanocomposite hydrogel became more efficient both in vitro and in vivo further speeding up the skin healing process thus demonstrating its potential as a next-generation electroconductive wound dressing.

Abstract
The treatment of chronic refractory wounds poses significant challenges and threats to both human society and the economy. Existing research studies demonstrate that electrical stimulation fosters cell proliferation and migration and promotes the production of cytokines that expedites the wound healing process. Presently, clinical settings utilize electrical stimulation devices for wound treatment, but these devices often present issues such as limited portability and the necessity for frequent recharging. A cutting-edge wound dressing employing the piezoelectric effect could transform mechanical energy into electrical energy, thereby providing continuous electrical stimulation and accelerating wound healing, effectively addressing these concerns. This review primarily reviews the selection of piezoelectric materials and their application in wound dressing design, offering a succinct overview of these materials and their underlying mechanisms. This study also provides a perspective on the current limitations of piezoelectric wound dressings and the future development of multifunctional dressings harnessing the piezoelectric effect.

Abstract
Chronic wounds and scar formation are widespread due to limited suitable remedies. The macrophage is a crucial regulator in wound healing, controlling the onset and termination of inflammation and regulating other processes related to wound healing. The current breakthroughs in developing new medications and drug delivery methods have enabled the accurate targeting of macrophages in oncology and rheumatic disease therapies through clinical trials. These successes have cleared the way to utilize drugs targeting macrophages in various disorders. This review thus summarizes macrophage involvement in normal and pathologic wound healing. It further details the targets available for macrophage intervention and therapeutic strategies for targeting the behavior of macrophages in tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a major complication of diabetes and is associated with a high risk of lower limb amputation and mortality. During their lifetime, 19%-34% of patients with diabetes can develop DFU. It is estimated that 61% of DFU become infected and 15% of those with DFU require amputation. Furthermore, developing a DFU increases the risk of mortality by 50%-68% at 5 years, higher than some cancers. Current standard management of DFU includes surgical debridement, the use of topical dressings and wound decompression, vascular assessment, and glycemic control. Among these methods, local treatment with dressings builds a protective physical barrier, maintains a moist environment, and drains the exudate from DFU wounds. This review summarizes the development, pathophysiology, and healing mechanisms of DFU. The latest research progress and the main application of dressings in laboratory and clinical stage are also summarized. The dressings discussed in this review include traditional dressings (gauze, oil yarn, traditional Chinese medicine, and others), basic dressings (hydrogel, hydrocolloid, sponge, foam, film agents, and others), bacteriostatic dressings, composite dressings (collagen, nanomaterials, chitosan dressings, and others), bioactive dressings (scaffold dressings with stem cells, decellularized wound matrix, autologous platelet enrichment plasma, and others), and dressings that use modern technology (3D bioprinting, photothermal effects, bioelectric dressings, microneedle dressings, smart bandages, orthopedic prosthetics and regenerative medicine). The dressing management challenges and limitations are also summarized. The purpose of this review is to help readers understand the pathogenesis and healing mechanism of DFU, help physicians select dressings correctly, provide an updated overview of the potential of biomaterials and devices and their application in DFU management, and provide ideas for further exploration and development of dressings. Proper use of dressings can promote DFU healing, reduce the cost of treating DFU, and reduce patient pain.

Abstract
In this study, a conductive composite material, based on graphene oxide (GO), nanocellulose (CNF), and tannins (TA) from pine bark, reduced using polydopamine (PDA), was developed for wound dressing. The amount of CNF and TA was varied in the composite material, and a complete characterization including SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS, and TGA was performed. Additionally, the conductivity, mechanical properties, cytotoxicity, and in vitro wound healing of the materials were evaluated. A successful physical interaction between CNF, TA, and GO was achieved. Increasing CNF amount in the composite reduced the thermal properties, surface charge, and conductivity, but its strength, cytotoxicity, and wound healing performance were improved. The TA incorporation slightly reduced the cell viability and migration, which may be associated with the doses used and the extract's chemical composition. However, the in-vitro-obtained results demonstrated that these composite materials can be suitable for wound healing.

Abstract
Wound healing is characterized by complex, orchestrated, spatiotemporal dynamic processes. Recent findings demonstrated suitable local microenvironments were necessities for wound healing. Wound microenvironments include various biological, biochemical and physical factors, which are produced and regulated by endogenous biomediators, exogenous drugs, and external environment. Successful drug delivery to wound is complicated, and need to overcome the destroyed blood supply, persistent inflammation and enzymes, spatiotemporal requirements of special supplements, and easy deactivation of drugs. Triggered by various factors from wound microenvironment itself or external elements, stimuli-responsive biomaterials have tremendous advantages of precise drug delivery and release. Here, we discuss recent advances of stimuli-responsive biomaterials to regulate local microenvironments during wound healing, emphasizing on the design and application of different biomaterials which respond to wound biological/biochemical microenvironments (ROS, pH, enzymes, glucose and glutathione), physical microenvironments (mechanical force, temperature, light, ultrasound, magnetic and electric field), and the combination modes. Moreover, several novel promising drug carriers (microbiota, metal-organic frameworks and microneedles) are also discussed.

Abstract
Insufficient angiogenesis frequently occurs after the implantation of orthopedic materials, which greatly increases the risk of bone defect reconstruction failure. Therefore, the development of bone implant with improved angiogenic properties is of great importance. Mimicking the extracellular matrix clues provides a more direct and effective strategy to modulate angiogenesis. Herein, inspired by the bioelectrical characteristics of the bone microenvironment, a piezoelectric bioactive glasses composite (P-KNN/BG) based on the incorporation of polarized potassium sodium niobate is constructed, which could effectively promote angiogenesis. It is found that P-KNN/BG has exceptional wireless electrical stimulation performance and sustained active ions release. In vitro cell experiments reveal that P-KNN/BG enhances endothelial cell adhesion, migration, and differentiation via activating the eNOS/NO signaling pathway, which might be contributed to cell membrane hyperpolarization induced by wireless electrical stimulation increase the influx of active ions into the cells. In vivo chick chorioallantoic membrane experiment demonstrates that P-KNN/BG shows excellent pro-angiogenic capacity and biocompatibility. This work broadens the current understanding of bioactive materials with bionic electrical properties, which brings new insights into the clinical treatment of bone defect repair.

Wireless electrical stimulation at the nanoscale interface induces tumor vascular normalization. Bioact Mater 2022; 18:399-408. [PMID: 35415302 PMCID: PMC8965767 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2022.03.027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2022] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Pathological angiogenesis frequently occurs in tumor tissue, limiting the efficiency of chemotherapeutic drug delivery and accelerating tumor progression. However, traditional vascular normalization strategies are not fully effective and limited by the development of resistance. Herein, inspired by the intervention of endogenous bioelectricity in vessel formation, we propose a wireless electrical stimulation therapeutic strategy, capable of breaking bioelectric homeostasis within cells, to achieve tumor vascular normalization. Polarized barium titanate nanoparticles with high mechano-electrical conversion performance were developed, which could generate pulsed open-circuit voltage under low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. We demonstrated that wireless electrical stimulation significantly inhibited endothelial cell migration and differentiation in vitro. Interestingly, we found that the angiogenesis-related eNOS/NO pathway was inhibited, which could be attributed to the destruction of the intracellular calcium ion gradient by wireless electrical stimulation. In vivo tumor-bearing mouse model indicated that wireless electrical stimulation normalized tumor vasculature by optimizing vascular structure, enhancing blood perfusion, reducing vascular leakage, and restoring local oxygenation. Ultimately, the anti-tumor efficacy of combination treatment was 1.8 times that of the single chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin group. This work provides a wireless electrical stimulation strategy based on the mechano-electrical conversion performance of piezoelectric nanoparticles, which is expected to achieve safe and effective clinical adjuvant treatment of malignant tumors. Wireless electrical stimulation was proposed for tumor vascular normalization. Polarized ferroelectric nanoparticles were developed for wireless stimulation. Wireless stimulation inhibited endothelial cell migration and differentiation. The intracellular Ca2+ gradient and eNOS/NO pathway of cells were disturbed. In vivo vascular normalization and anti-tumor efficacy were significantly enhanced.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:3397. [PMID: 36234523 PMCID: PMC9565759 DOI: 10.3390/nano12193397] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Cold atmospheric plasma and nanomedicine originally emerged as individual domains, but are increasingly applied in combination with each other. Most research is performed in the context of cancer treatment, with only little focus yet on the possible synergies. Many questions remain on the potential of this promising hybrid technology, particularly regarding regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. In this perspective article, we therefore start from the fundamental mechanisms in the individual technologies, in order to envision possible synergies for wound healing and tissue recovery, as well as research strategies to discover and optimize them. Among these strategies, we demonstrate how cold plasmas and nanomaterials can enhance each other's strengths and overcome each other's limitations. The parallels with cancer research, biotechnology and plasma surface modification further serve as inspiration for the envisioned synergies in tissue regeneration. The discovery and optimization of synergies may also be realized based on a profound understanding of the underlying redox- and field-related biological processes. Finally, we emphasize the toxicity concerns in plasma and nanomedicine, which may be partly remediated by their combination, but also partly amplified. A widespread use of standardized protocols and materials is therefore strongly recommended, to ensure both a fast and safe clinical implementation.
