Differentiation of Human Adipose-derived Stem Cells to Exosome-affected Neural-like Cells Extracted from Human Cerebrospinal Fluid Using Bioprinting Process. Curr Stem Cell Res Ther 2024; 19:1042-1054. [PMID: 37957915 DOI: 10.2174/011574888x270145231102062259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advancement in tissue engineering has provided novel solutions for creating scaffolds as well as applying induction factors in the differentiation of stem cells. The present research aimed to investigate the differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells to neural-like cells using the novel bioprinting method, as well as the effect of cerebrospinal fluid exosomes. METHODS In the present study, the extent of neuronal proliferation and differentiation of adipose- derived stem cells were explored using the MTT method, immunocytochemistry, and real-- time PCR in the scaffolds created by the bioprinting process. Furthermore, in order to investigate the veracity of the identity of the CSF (Cerebrospinal fluid) derived exosomes, after the isolation of exosomes, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques were used. RESULTS MTT findings indicated survivability and proliferation of cells in the scaffolds created by the bioprinting process during a 14-day period. The results obtained from real-time PCR showed that the level of MAP2 gene (Microtubule Associated Protein 2) expression increased on days 7 and 14, while the expression of the Nestin gene (intermediate filament protein) significantly decreased compared to the control. The investigation to confirm the identity of exosomes indicated that the CSF-derived exosomes had a spherical shape with a 40-100 nm size. CONCLUSION CSF-derived exosomes can contribute to the neuronal differentiation of adipose- derived stem cells in alginate hydrogel scaffolds created by the bioprinting process.

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

Abstract
Several years have passed since the medical and scientific communities leaned toward tissue engineering as the most promising field to aid bone diseases and defects resulting from degenerative conditions or trauma. Owing to their histocompatibility and non-immunogenicity, bone grafts, precisely autografts, have long been the gold standard in bone tissue therapies. However, due to issues associated with grafting, especially the surgical risks and soaring prices of the procedures, alternatives are being extensively sought and researched. Fibrous and non-fibrous materials, synthetic substitutes, or cell-based products are just a few examples of research directions explored as potential solutions. A very promising subgroup of these replacements involves hydrogels. Biomaterials resembling the bone extracellular matrix and therefore acting as 3D scaffolds, providing the appropriate mechanical support and basis for cell growth and tissue regeneration. Additional possibility of using various stimuli in the form of growth factors, cells, etc., within the hydrogel structure, extends their use as bioactive agent delivery platforms and acts in favor of their further directed development. The aim of this review is to bring the reader closer to the fascinating subject of hydrogel scaffolds and present the potential of these materials, applied in bone and cartilage tissue engineering and regeneration.

Abstract
Presently, various tissue engineering methods using adult stem cells and biomaterials are being confirmed to regenerate vessels, cardiac muscle, bladder, and intestines. However, there are few studies about the repair of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) may help alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This study aims to determine whether Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) combined with regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) solution could regenerate the LES. In vitro, the ADSCs were isolated, identified, and then cultured with an established smooth muscular induction system. In vivo, in the experimental groups, CM-Dil labeled ADSCs or induced ADSCs mixed with RSF solution were injected into the LES of rats after the development of the animal model of GERD respectively. The results showed that ADSCs could be induced into smooth muscular-like cells with the expression of h-caldesmon, calponin, α-smooth muscle actin, and a smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain in vitro. In vivo, the thickness of LES in the experiment rats was much thicker than those in the controlled groups. This result indicated that ADSCs mixed with RSF solution might contribute to the regeneration of the LES, thus reducing the occurrence of GERD.

Abstract
The state-of-the-art approach to regenerating different tissues and organs is tissue engineering which includes the three parts of stem cells (SCs), scaffolds, and growth factors. Cellular behaviors such as propagation, differentiation, and assembling the extracellular matrix (ECM) are influenced by the cell's microenvironment. Imitating the cell's natural environment, such as scaffolds, is vital to create appropriate tissue. Craniofacial tissue engineering refers to regenerating tissues found in the brain and the face parts such as bone, muscle, and artery. More biocompatible and biodegradable scaffolds are more commensurate with tissue remodeling and more appropriate for cell culture, signaling, and adhesion. Synthetic materials play significant roles and have become more prevalent in medical applications. They have also been used in different forms for producing a microenvironment as ECM for cells. Synthetic scaffolds may be comprised of polymers, bioceramics, or hybrids of natural/synthetic materials. Synthetic scaffolds have produced ECM-like materials that can properly mimic and regulate the tissue microenvironment's physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological properties, manage adherence of biomolecules and adjust the material's degradability. The present review article is focused on synthetic materials used in craniofacial tissue engineering in recent decades.

[PMID: 35310996 PMCID: PMC8931492 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.847554] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2022] [Accepted: 02/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the efforts devoted to drug discovery and development, the number of new drug approvals have been decreasing. Specifically, cardiovascular developments have been showing amongst the lowest levels of approvals. In addition, concerns over the adverse effects of drugs to the cardiovascular system have been increasing and resulting in failure at the preclinical level as well as withdrawal of drugs post-marketing. Besides factors such as the increased cost of clinical trials and increases in the requirements and the complexity of the regulatory processes, there is also a gap between the currently existing pre-clinical screening methods and the clinical studies in humans. This gap is mainly caused by the lack of complexity in the currently used 2D cell culture-based screening systems, which do not accurately reflect human physiological conditions. Cell-based drug screening is widely accepted and extensively used and can provide an initial indication of the drugs' therapeutic efficacy and potential cytotoxicity. However, in vitro cell-based evaluation could in many instances provide contradictory findings to the in vivo testing in animal models and clinical trials. This drawback is related to the failure of these 2D cell culture systems to recapitulate the human physiological microenvironment in which the cells reside. In the body, cells reside within a complex physiological setting, where they interact with and respond to neighboring cells, extracellular matrix, mechanical stress, blood shear stress, and many other factors. These factors in sum affect the cellular response and the specific pathways that regulate variable vital functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. Although pre-clinical in vivo animal models provide this level of complexity, cross species differences can also cause contradictory results from that seen when the drug enters clinical trials. Thus, there is a need to better mimic human physiological conditions in pre-clinical studies to improve the efficiency of drug screening. A novel approach is to develop 3D tissue engineered miniaturized constructs in vitro that are based on human cells. In this review, we discuss the factors that should be considered to produce a successful vascular construct that is derived from human cells and is both reliable and reproducible.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is caused by narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries due to atherosclerosis. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is widely used for the treatment of severe CHD cases. Although autologous vessels are a preferred choice, healthy autologous vessels are not always available; hence there is a demand for tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) to be used as alternatives. However, producing clinical grade implantable TEVGs that could healthily survive in the host with long-term patency is still a great challenge. There are additional difficulties in producing small diameter (<6 mm) vascular conduits. As a result, there have not been TEVGs that are commercially available. Properties of vascular scaffolds such as tensile strength, thrombogenicity and immunogenicity are key factors that determine the biocompatibility of TEVGs. The source of vascular cells employed to produce TEVGs is a limiting factor for large-scale productions. Advanced technologies including the combined use of natural and biodegradable synthetic materials for scaffolds in conjunction with the use of mesenchyme stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) provide promising solutions for vascular tissue engineering. The aim of this review is to provide an update on various aspects in this field and the current status of TEVG clinical applications.

Abstract
As the basic units of biological organization, stem cells and their progenitors are essential for developing and regenerating organs and tissue systems using their unique self-renewal capability and differentiation potential into multiple cell lineages. Stem cells are consistently present throughout the entire human development, from the zygote to adulthood. Over the past decades, significant efforts have been made in biology, genetics, and biotechnology to develop stem cell-based therapies using embryonic and adult autologous or allogeneic stem cells for diseases without therapies or difficult to treat. Stem cell-based therapies require optimum administration of stem cells into damaged organs to promote structural regeneration and improve function. Maximum clinical efficacy is highly dependent on the successful delivery of stem cells to the target tissue. Direct image-guided locoregional injections into target tissues offer an option to increase therapeutic outcomes. Interventional radiologists have the opportunity to perform a key role in delivering stem cells more efficiently using minimally invasive techniques. This review discusses the types and sources of stem cells and the current clinical applications of stem cell-based therapies. In addition, the regulatory considerations, logistics, and potential roles of interventional Radiology are also discussed with the review of the literature.

Abstract
Since the emergence of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering more than half a century ago, one obstacle has persisted: the in vitro creation of large-scale vascular tissue (>1 cm3) to meet the clinical needs of viable tissue grafts but also for biological research applications. Considerable advancements in biofabrication have been made since Weinberg and Bell, in 1986, created the first blood vessel from collagen, endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts. The synergistic combination of advances in fabrication methods, availability of cell source, biomaterials formulation and vascular tissue development, promises new strategies for the creation of autologous blood vessels, recapitulating biological functions, structural functions, but also the mechanical functions of a native blood vessel. In this review, the main technological advancements in bio-fabrication are discussed with a particular highlights on 3D bioprinting technologies. The choice of the main biomaterials and cell sources, the use of dynamic maturation systems such as bioreactors and the associated clinical trials will be detailed. The remaining challenges in this complex engineering field will finally be discussed.

Abstract
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a group of connective tissue disorders with a broad range of phenotypes characterized primarily by bone fragility. The prevalence of OI ranges from about 1:15,000 to 1:20,000 births. Five types of the disease are commonly distinguished, ranging from a mild (type I) to a lethal one (type II). Types III and IV are severe forms allowing survival after the neonatal period, while type V is characterized by a mild to moderate phenotype with calcification of interosseous membranes. In most cases, there is a reduction in the production of normal type I collagen (col I) or the synthesis of abnormal collagen as a result of mutations in col I genes. Moreover, mutations in genes involved in col I synthesis and processing as well as in osteoblast differentiation have been reported. The currently available treatments try to prevent fractures, control symptoms and increase bone mass. Commonly used medications in OI treatment are bisphosphonates, Denosumab, synthetic parathyroid hormone and growth hormone for children therapy. The main disadvantages of these therapies are their relatively weak effectiveness, lack of effects in some patients or cytotoxic side effects. Experimental approaches, particularly those based on stem cell transplantation and genetic engineering, seem to be promising to improve the therapeutic effects of OI.

Abstract
Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysm (IA). This study investigated the molecular mechanism of exosomal miR-144-5p (ex-miR-144-5p) and PTEN in IA. Ex-miR-144-5p expression was assessed in serum from individuals with ruptured intracranial aneurysm (RA) or unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UA), and healthy controls (HC). Vascular endothelial cells (VECs) were co-cultured with exosomes isolated from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with transfection of miR-144-5p mimic or miR-144-5p inhibitor. IA rats were induced by combing systemic hypertension and intrathecal elastase injection. VECs were transfected with miR-144-5p mimic or inhibitor to verify the impacts of miR-144-5p on cell viability and proliferation. The connection between miR-144-5p and PTEN was verified by luciferase activity assay. Our data proved that ex-miR-144-5p was decreased in both UA and RA patients. MiR-144-5p overexpression in MSCs-derived exosome promoted VEC viability, inhibited VEC proliferation of VEs, and decreased the protein levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and osteopontin (OPN). IA rats injected with ex-miR-144-5p mimic showed significant luminal dilation, declined smooth muscle layers, and thinned vascular wall. Besides, inhibited cell apoptosis and decreased protein expressions were also observed. However, ex-miR-144-5p inhibitor had the opposite effects both in vivo and in vitro. We validated that miR-144-5p directly targeted PTEN. MiR-144-5p mimic increased cell viability and proliferation and reduced protein expressions, which could be blunted by PTEN overexpression. This study suggests that miR-144-5p elevates PTEN expression, thereby boosting apoptosis and attenuating viability of VECs in IA.

Abstract
Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are generally concerned with reconstructing cells, tissues, or organs to restore typical biological characteristics. Liposomes are round vesicles with a hydrophilic center and bilayers of amphiphiles which are the most influential family of nanomedicine. Liposomes have extensive research, engineering, and medicine uses, particularly in a drug delivery system, genes, and vaccines for treatments. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) that carry various biomolecular cargos such as miRNA, mRNA, DNA, and proteins. As exosomal cargo changes with adjustments in parent cells and position, research of exosomal cargo constituents provides a rare chance for sicknesses prognosis and care. Exosomes have a more substantial degree of bioactivity and immunogenicity than liposomes as they are distinctly chiefly formed by cells, which improves their steadiness in the bloodstream, and enhances their absorption potential and medicinal effectiveness in vitro and in vivo. In this review, the crucial challenges of exosome and liposome science and their functions in disease improvement and therapeutic applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine strategies are prominently highlighted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant challenge facing tissue engineering is the fabrication of vasculature constructs which contains vascularized tissue constructs to recapitulate viable, complex and functional organs or tissues, and free-standing vascular structures potentially providing clinical applications in the future. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has emerged as a promising technology, possessing a number of merits that other conventional biofabrication methods do not have. Over the last decade, 3D bioprinting has contributed a variety of techniques and strategies to generate both vascularized tissue constructs and free-standing vascular structures. RESULTS This review focuses on different strategies to print two kinds of vasculature constructs, namely vascularized tissue constructs and vessel-like tubular structures, highlighting the feasibility and shortcoming of the current methods for vasculature constructs fabrication. Generally, both direct printing and indirect printing can be employed in vascularized tissue engineering. Direct printing allows for structural fabrication with synchronous cell seeding, while indirect printing is more effective in generating complex architecture. During the fabrication process, 3D bioprinting techniques including extrusion bioprinting, inkjet bioprinting and light-assisted bioprinting should be selectively implemented to exert advantages and obtain the desirable tissue structure. Also, appropriate cells and biomaterials matter a lot to match various bioprinting techniques and thus achieve successful fabrication of specific vasculature constructs. CONCLUSION The 3D bioprinting has been developed to help provide various fabrication techniques, devoting to producing structurally stable, physiologically relevant, and biologically appealing constructs. However, although the optimization of biomaterials and innovation of printing strategies may improve the fabricated vessel-like structures, 3D bioprinting is still in the infant period and has a great gap between in vitro trials and in vivo applications. The article reviews the present achievement of 3D bioprinting in generating vasculature constructs and also provides perspectives on future directions of advanced vasculature constructs fabrication.

Abstract
Tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) have enormous potential for vascular replacement therapy. However, thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia are important problems associated with TEVGs especially small diameter TEVGs (<6 mm) after transplantation. Endothelialization of TEVGs is a key point to prevent thrombosis. Here, we discuss different types of endothelialization and different seed cells of tissue-engineered vascular grafts. Meanwhile, endothelial heterogeneity is also discussed. Based on it, we provide a new perspective for selecting suitable types of endothelialization and suitable seed cells to improve the long-term patency rate of tissue-engineered vascular grafts with different diameters and lengths. The material, diameter and length of tissue-engineered vascular graft are all key factors affecting its long-term patency. Endothelialization strategies should consider the different diameters and lengths of tissue-engineered vascular grafts. Cell heterogeneity and tissue heterogeneity should be considered in the application of seed cells.

Abstract
Background: Aortic dissecting aneurysm (ADA) represents an aortic remodeling disease with a high mortality rate. Fat mass and obesity-associated protein (FTO) exerts RNA demethylation function to regulate gene expression related to stem cell differentiation, DNA damage repair, and tumorigenesis, but the role of FTO in ADA is still unclear. Methods: The expression and location of FTO in 43 ADA tissues and 11 normal tissues were determined by RT-qPCR, WB, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence staining. Detecting proliferation and migration of VSMCs. M6A methylated RNA immuno-precipitation qRT-PCR and dual luciferase reporter assay were performed for determining m6A level and interaction between m6A modulation and Klf5 mRNA, respectively. Results: FTO are highly expressed in VSMCs. FTO was positively correlated with BMI, triglyceride, and D-dimer (all P < 0.05). Functionally, both AngII-induced FTO expression and over expression of FTO promote cell proliferation and migration, whereas knockdown of FTO inhibits these functions. Mechanically, we identified Krüppel-like factor 5 (Klf5) as a target of FTO mediating m6A modification. Overexpression of FTO reduced m6A modification on Klf5 mRNA and promoted Klf5 mRNA expression. Furthermore, the p-GSK3β and Klf5 levels increased after FTO overexpression. Finally, knockdown of FTO suppresses the p-GSK3β levels and Klf5 expression regardless of AngII treatment. Conclusions: Our study revealed that FTO expression significantly contributes to the phenotype conversion of VSMCs and the ADA by the demethylation function (m6A), thereby providing a novel therapeutic target.

Porcine carotid arteries decellularized with a suitable concentration combination of Triton X-100 and sodium dodecyl sulfate for tissue engineering vascular grafts. Cell Tissue Bank 2020; 22:277-286.

Abstract
Tissue engineering vascular grafts (TEVGs) constructed by decellularized arteries have the potential to replace autologous blood vessels in bypass surgery for patients with cardiovascular disease. There are various methods of decellularization without a standard protocol. Detergents approaches are simple, and easy control of experimental conditions. Non-ionic detergent Triton X-100 and ionic detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) are the most commonly used detergents. In this study, we used Triton X-100 and SDS with different concentrations to decellularize porcine carotid arteries. After that, we investigated the acellular effect and mechanical properties of decellularized arteries to find a promising concentration combination for decellularization. Results showed that any detergents' combination would damage the inherent structure of extracellular matrix, and the destruction increased with the increase of detergents' concentration. We concluded that the decellularization approach of 0.5% Triton X-100 for 24 h combined with 0.25% SDS for 72 h could help to obtain decellularized arteries with minimum destruction. This protocol may be able to prepare a clinically suitable vascular scaffold for TEVGs.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most frequent microvascular complication of long-term diabetes and the most common cause of blindness, increasing morbidity in the working-age population. The most effective therapies for these complications include laser photocoagulation and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections. However, laser and anti-VEGF drugs are untenable as a final solution as they fail to address the underlying neurovascular degeneration and ischemia. Regenerative medicine may be a more promising approach, aimed at the repair of blood vessels and reversal of retinal ischemia. Stem cell therapy has introduced a novel way to reverse the underlying ischemia present in microvascular complications in diseases such as diabetes. The present review discusses current treatments, their side effects, and novel cell-based and tissue engineering approaches as a potential alternative therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Application of stem cells in tissue engineering has proved to be effective in many cases due to great proliferation and differentiation potentials as well as possible paracrine effects of these cells. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are recognized as a valuable source for vascular tissue engineering, which requires endothelial and perivascular cells. The goal of this review is to survey the potential of MSCs for engineering functional blood vessels in comparison with other cell types including bone marrow mononuclear cells, endothelial precursor cells, differentiated adult autologous smooth muscle cells, autologous endothelial cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells. In conclusion, MSCs represent a preference in making autologous tissue-engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) as well as off-the-shelf TEVGs for emergency vascular surgery cases.

Abstract
Obesity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Adipose tissue was initially thought to be involved in metabolism through paracrine. Recent researches discovered mesenchymal stem cells inside adipose tissue which could differentiate into vascular lineages in vitro and in vivo, participating vascular remodeling. However, there were few researches focusing on distinct characteristics and functions of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) from different regions. This is the first comprehensive review demonstrating the variances of ADSCs from the perspective of their origins.

Abstract
Once focused exclusively on the creation of tissues to repair or replace diseased or damaged organs, the field of tissue engineering has undergone an important evolution in recent years. Namely, tissue engineering techniques are increasingly being applied to intentionally generate pathological conditions. Motivated in part by the wide gap between 2D cultures and animal models in the current disease modeling continuum, disease-inspired tissue-engineered platforms have numerous potential applications, and may serve to advance our understanding and clinical treatment of various diseases. This review will focus on recent progress toward generating tissue-engineered models of cardiovascular diseases, including cardiac hypertrophy, fibrosis, and ischemia reperfusion injury, atherosclerosis, and calcific aortic valve disease, with an emphasis on how these disease-inspired platforms can be used to decipher disease etiology. Each pathology is discussed in the context of generating both disease-specific cells as well as disease-specific extracellular environments, with an eye toward future opportunities to integrate different tools to yield more complex and physiologically relevant culture platforms. Ultimately, the development of effective disease treatments relies upon our ability to develop appropriate experimental models; as cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, the insights yielded by improved in vitro disease modeling could have substantial ramifications for public health and clinical care.

Abstract
Scaffolds composed of synthetic polymers such as poly(caprolactone) (PCL) are widely used for the support and repair of tissues in biomedicine. Pores are common features in scaffolds as they facilitate cell penetration. Various surface modifications can be performed to promote key biological responses to these scaffolds. However, verifying the chemistry of these materials post surface modification is problematic due to the combination of three-dimensional (3D) topography and surface sensitivity. Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is commonly used to correlate surface chemistry with cell response. In this study, 3D imaging mass spectrometry analysis of surface modified synthetic polymer scaffolds is demonstrated using PCL porous scaffold, a pore filling polymer sample preparation, and 3D imaging ToF-SIMS. We apply a simple sample preparation procedure, filling the scaffold pores with a poly(vinyl alcohol)/glycerol mixture to remove topographic influence on image quality. This filling method allows the scaffold (PCL) and filler secondary ions to be reconstructed into a 3D chemical image of the pore. Furthermore, we show that surface modifications in the pores of synthetic polymer scaffolds can be mapped in 3D. Imaging of "dry" and "wet" surface modifications is demonstrated as well as a comparison of surface modifications with relatively strong ToF-SIMS peaks (fluorocarbon films [FC]) and to more biologically relevant surface modification of a protein (bovine serum albumin [BSA]). We demonstrate that surface modifications can be imaged in 3D showing that characteristic secondary ions associated with FC and BSA are associated with C3 F8 plasma treatment and BSA, respectively within the pore.

Abstract
Chronic critical limb ischemia (CLI) represents a clinical end stage of peripheral arterial disease. Many CLI patients are ineligible for conventional revascularization therapies; thus, it is urgent to explore an alternative strategy to rescue the ischemic limb. Recent stem cell studies have greatly developed the field of therapeutic angiogenesis, which aims to significantly improve the limb blood supply. In our study, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) served as the control to evaluate the function of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) in enhancing angiogenesis. We compared gene expression between BMMSCs and UCMSCs, and a bioinformatics analysis indicated that both UCMSCs and BMMSCs could stimulate angiogenesis and angiogenesis-related factors were upregulated in UCMSCs. In vitro assays indicated that both BMMSCs and UCMSCs promoted human umbilical vein endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation, and the effects of UCMSCs were more obvious. Consistent with in vitro results, both UCMSCs and BMMSCs improved the limb blood supply in a mouse model of hind limb ischemia, in which UCMSCs promoted angiogenesis more significantly. Finally, we found that activation of ERK and PI3K-Akt pathways might be the mechanism by which UCMSCs promote angiogenesis. These results indicate that UCMSCs play an important role in therapeutic angiogenesis to improve limb blood perfusion.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting technologies have shown great potential in the fabrication of 3D models for different human tissues. Stem cells are an attractive cell source in tissue engineering as they can be directed by material and environmental cues to differentiate into multiple cell types for tissue repair and regeneration. In this study, we investigate the viability of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) in alginate-gelatin (Alg-Gel) hydrogel bioprinted with or without bioactive glass. Highly angiogenic borate bioactive glass (13-93B3) in 50 wt% is added to polycaprolactone (PCL) to fabricate scaffolds using a solvent-based extrusion 3D bioprinting technique. The fabricated scaffolds with 12 × 12 × 1 mm3 in overall dimensions are physically characterized, and the glass dissolution from PCL/glass composite over a period of 28 days is studied. Alg-Gel composite hydrogel is used as a bioink to suspend ASCs, and scaffolds are then bioprinted in different configurations: Bioink only, PCL+bioink, and PCL/glass+bioink, to investigate ASC viability. The results indicate the feasibility of the solvent-based bioprinting process to fabricate 3D cellularized scaffolds with more than 80% viability on day 0. The decrease in viability after 7 days due to glass concentration and static culture conditions is discussed. The feasibility of modifying Alg-Gel with 13-93B3 glass for bioprinting is also investigated, and the results are discussed.

Abstract
Vascular disorders are complex diseases with high morbidity and mortality. Among them, the dilated macrovascular diseases (MVD), such as aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection, have presented a huge threat to human health. The pathogenesis of vascular diseases is mostly associated with property alteration of vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Studies have confirmed that induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be proliferated and differentiated into other somatic cells, such as VECs and VSMCs. And patient-specific cells could provide detailed human-associated information in regard to pathogenesis or drug responses. In addition, differentiated ECs from iPSC have been widely used in disease modeling as a cell therapy. In this review, we mainly discussed the application of hiPSCs in investigating the pathological mechanism of different inherited vascular diseases and provide a comprehensive understanding of hiPSCs in the field of clinical diagnosis and gene therapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Vascular tissue engineering has the potential to make a significant impact on the treatment of a wide variety of medical conditions, including providing in vitro generated vascularized tissue and organ constructs for transplantation. Since the first report on the construction of a biological blood vessel, significant research and technological advances have led to the generation of clinically relevant large and small diameter tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs). However, developing a biocompatible blood-contacting surface is still a major challenge. Researchers are using biomimicry to generate functional vascular grafts and vascular networks. A multi-disciplinary approach is being used that includes biomaterials, cells, pro-angiogenic factors and microfabrication technologies. Techniques to achieve spatiotemporal control of vascularization include use of topographical engineering and controlled-release of growth/pro-angiogenic factors. Use of decellularized natural scaffolds has gained popularity for engineering complex vascularized organs for potential clinical use. Pre-vascularization of constructs prior to implantation has also been shown to enhance its anastomosis after implantation. Host-implant anastomosis is a phenomenon that is still not fully understood. However, it will be a critical factor in determining the in vivo success of a TEVGs or bioengineered organ. Many clinical studies have been conducted using TEVGs, but vascularized tissue/organ constructs are still in the research & development stage. In addition to technical challenges, there are commercialization and regulatory challenges that need to be addressed. In this review we examine recent advances in the field of vascular tissue engineering, with a focus on technology trends, challenges and potential clinical applications.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the characteristics of acellular dermal matrix (ADM), small intestinal submucosa (SIS) and Bio‑Gide scaffolds with acellular vascular matrix (ACVM)‑0.25% human‑like collagen I (HLC‑I) scaffold in tissue engineering blood vessels. The ACVM‑0.25% HLC‑I scaffold was prepared and compared with ADM, SIS and Bio‑Gide scaffolds via hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, Masson staining and scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations. Primary human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) were cultured and identified. Then, the experiment was established via the seeding of HGFs on different scaffolds for 1, 4 and 7 days. The compatibility of four different scaffolds with HGFs was evaluated by H&E staining, SEM observation and Cell Counting Kit‑8 assay. Then, a series of experiments were conducted to evaluate water absorption capacities, mechanical abilities, the ultra‑microstructure and the cytotoxicity of the four scaffolds. The ACVM‑0.25% HLC‑I scaffold was revealed to exhibit the best cell proliferation and good cell architecture. ADM and Bio‑Gide scaffolds exhibited good mechanical stability but cell proliferation was reduced when compared with the ACVM‑0.25% HLC‑I scaffold. In addition, SIS scaffolds exhibited the worst cell proliferation. The ACVM‑0.25% HLC‑I scaffold exhibited the best water absorption, followed by the SIS and Bio‑Gide scaffolds, and then the ADM scaffold. In conclusion, the ACVM‑0.25% HLC‑I scaffold has good mechanical properties as a tissue engineering scaffold and the present results suggest that it has better biological characterization when compared with other scaffold types.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common life-changing disability of peripheral nervous system with significant socioeconomic consequences. Conventional therapeutic approaches for PNI have several drawbacks such as need to autologous nerve scarifying, surplus surgery, and difficult accessibility to donor nerve; therefore, other therapeutic strategies such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy are getting more interesting. MSCs have been proved to be safe and efficient in numerous degenerative diseases of central and peripheral nervous systems. In this paper, we review novel biotechnological advancements in treating PNI using MSCs.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is recognized as an important organ with metabolic, regulatory, and plastic roles. Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) with self-renewal properties localize in the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) being present in a vascular niche, thereby, contributing to local regulation of angiogenesis and vessel remodeling. In the past decades, ASCs have attracted much attention from biologists and bioengineers, particularly, because of their multilineage differentiation potential, strong proliferation, and migration abilities in vitro and high resistance to oxidative stress and senescence. Current data suggest that the SVF serves as an important source of endothelial progenitors, endothelial cells, and pericytes, thereby, contributing to vessel remodeling and growth. In addition, ASCs demonstrate intriguing metabolic and interlineage plasticity, which makes them good candidates for creating regenerative therapeutic protocols, in vitro tissue models and microphysiological systems, and tissue-on-chip devices for diagnostic and regeneration-supporting purposes. This review covers recent achievements in understanding the metabolic activity within the SVF niches (lactate and NAD+ metabolism), which is critical for maintaining the pool of ASCs, and discloses their pro-angiogenic potential, particularly, in the complex therapy of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
Although the clinical demand for bioengineered blood vessels continues to rise, current options for vascular conduits remain limited. The synergistic combination of emerging advances in tissue fabrication and stem cell engineering promises new strategies for engineering autologous blood vessels that recapitulate not only the mechanical properties of native vessels but also their biological function. Here we explore recent bioengineering advances in creating functional blood macro and microvessels, particularly featuring stem cells as a seed source. We also highlight progress in integrating engineered vascular tissues with the host after implantation as well as the exciting pre-clinical and clinical applications of this technology.
