Abstract
Arrangement patterns and geometric cues have been demonstrated to influence cell function and fate, which calls for efficient and versatile cell patterning techniques. Despite constant achievements that mainly focus on individual cells and uniform cell patterns, simultaneously constructing cellular arrangements with diverse patterns and positional relationships in a flexible and contact-free manner remains a challenge. Here, stem cell arrangements possessing multiple geometries and structures are proposed based on powerful and diverse pattern-building capabilities of quasi-periodic acoustic fields, with advantages of rich patterns and structures and flexibility in structure modulation. Eight-fold waves' interference produces regular potentials that result in higher rotational symmetry and more complex arrangement of geometric units. Moreover, through flexible modulation of the phase relations among these wave vectors, a wide variety of cellular pattern units are arranged in this potential, such as circular-, triangular- and square-shape, simultaneously. It is proved that these diverse cellular patterns conveniently build human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) models, for research on the effect of cellular arrangement on stem cell differentiation. This work fills the gap of acoustic cell patterning in quasi-periodic patterns and shows promising potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Biological evaluation and osteogenic potential of polyhydroxybutyrate-keratin/Al 2O 3 electrospun nanocomposite scaffold: A novel bone regeneration construct. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124602. [PMID: 37141963 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/06/2023]
Abstract
In this study, the effect of alumina nanowire on the physical and biological properties of polyhydroxybutyrate-keratin (PHB-K) electrospun scaffold was investigated. First, PHB-K/alumina nanowire nanocomposite scaffolds were made with an optimal concentration of 3 wt% alumina nanowire by using the electrospinning method. The samples were examined in terms of morphology, porosity, tensile strength, contact angle, biodegradability, bioactivity, cell viability, ALP activity, mineralization ability, and gene expression. The nanocomposite scaffold provided a porosity of >80 % and a tensile strength of about 6.72 Mpa, which were noticeable for an electrospun scaffold. AFM images showed an increase in the surface roughness with the presence of alumina nanowires. This led to an improvement in the degradation rate and bioactivity of PHB-K/alumina nanowire scaffolds. The viability of mesenchymal cells, alkaline phosphatase secretion, and mineralization significantly increased with the presence of alumina nanowire compared to PHB and PHB-K scaffolds. In addition, the expression level of collagen I, osteocalcin, and RUNX2 genes in nanocomposite scaffolds increased significantly compared to other groups. In general, this nanocomposite scaffold could be a novel and interesting construct for osteogenic induction in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the last few years, magnetic nanowires have gained attention due to their potential implementation as building blocks in spintronics applications and, in particular, in domain-wall- based devices. In these devices, the control of the magnetic properties is a must. Cylindrical magnetic nanowires can be synthesized rather easily by electrodeposition and the control of their magnetic properties can be achieved by modulating the composition of the nanowire along the axial direction. In this work, we report the possibility of introducing changes in the composition along the radial direction, increasing the degrees of freedom to harness the magnetization. In particular, we report the synthesis, using template-assisted deposition, of FeNi (or Co) magnetic nanowires, coated with a Au/Co (Au/FeNi) bilayer. The diameter of the nanowire as well as the thickness of both layers can be tuned at will. In addition to a detailed structural characterization, we report a preliminary study on the magnetic properties, establishing the role of each layer in the global collective behavior of the system.
