Abstract
Oxygen is essential for tissue regeneration, playing a crucial role in several processes, including cell metabolism and immune response. Therefore, the delivery of oxygen to wounds is an active field of research, and recent studies have highlighted the potential use of photosynthetic biomaterials as alternative oxygenation approach. However, while plants have traditionally been used to enhance tissue regeneration, their potential to produce and deliver local oxygen to wounds has not yet been explored. Hence, in this work we studied the oxygen-releasing capacity of Marchantia polymorpha explants, showing their capacity to release oxygen under different illumination settings and temperatures. Moreover, co-culture experiments revealed that the presence of these explants had no adverse effects on the viability and morphology of fibroblasts in vitro, nor on the viability of zebrafish larvae in vivo. Furthermore, oxygraphy assays demonstrate that these explants could fulfill the oxygen metabolic requirements of zebrafish larvae and freshly isolated skin biopsies ex vivo. Finally, the biocompatibility of explants was confirmed through a human skin irritation test conducted in healthy volunteers following the ISO-10993-10-2010. This proof-of-concept study provides valuable scientific insights, proposing the potential use of freshly isolated plants as biocompatible low-cost oxygen delivery systems for wound healing and tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Oxygen (O2 ) delivery biomaterials have attracted great interest in the treatment of chronic wounds due to their potential applications in local and continuous O2 generation and delivery, improving cell viability until vascularization occurs, promoting structural growth of new blood vessels, simulating collagen synthesis, killing bacteria and reducing hypoxia-induced tissue damage. Therefore, different types of O2 delivery biomaterials including thin polymer films, fibers, hydrogels, or nanocomposite hydrogels have been developed to provide controlled, sufficient and long-lasting O2 to prevent hypoxia and maintain cell viability until the engineered tissue is vascularized by the host system. These biomaterials are made by various approaches, such as encapsulating O2 releasing molecules into hydrogels, polymer microspheres and 3D printed hydrogel scaffolds and adsorbing O2 carrying reagents into polymer films of fibers. In this article, different O2 generating sources such as solid inorganic peroxides, liquid peroxides, and photosynthetic microalgae, and O2 carrying perfluorocarbons and hemoglobin are presented and the applications of O2 delivery biomaterials in promoting wound healing are discussed. Furthermore, challenges encountered and future perspectives are highlighted.

Abstract
A 3D microenvironment is known to endorse pancreatic islet development from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). However, oxygen supply becomes a limiting factor in a scaffold culture. In this study, oxygen-releasing biomaterials are fabricated and an oxygenated scaffold culture platform is developed to offer a better oxygen supply during 3D iPSC pancreatic differentiation. It is found that the oxygenation does not alter the scaffold's mechanical properties. The in situ oxygenation improves oxygen tension within the scaffolds. The unique 3D differentiation system enables the generation of islet organoids with enhanced expression of islet signature genes and proteins. Additionally, it is discovered that the oxygenation at the early stage of differentiation has more profound impacts on islet development from iPSCs. More C-peptide+ /MAFA+ β and glucagon+ /MAFB+ α cells formed in the iPSC-derived islet organoids generated under oxygenated conditions, suggesting enhanced maturation of the organoids. Furthermore, the oxygenated 3D cultures improve islet organoids' sensitivity to glucose for insulin secretion. It is herein demonstrated that the oxygenated scaffold culture empowers iPSC islet differentiation to generate clinically relevant tissues for diabetes research and treatment.

Abstract
The oxygen level in the tumor is a critical marker that determines response to different treatments. Cancerous cells can adapt to hypoxia and low pH conditions within the tumor microenvironment (TME) to regulate tumor metabolism, proliferation, and promote tumor metastasis as well as angiogenesis, consequently leading to treatment failure and recurrence. In recent years, widespread attempts have been made to overcome tumor hypoxia through different methods, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), hyperthermia, O2 carriers, artificial hemoglobin, oxygen generator hydrogels, and peroxide materials. While oxygen is found to be an essential agent to improve the treatment response of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and other cancer treatment modalities, the development of hypoxia within the tumor is highly associated with PDT failure. Recently, the use of nanoparticles has been a hot topic for researchers and exploited to overcome hypoxia through Oxygen-generating hydrogels, O2 nanocarriers, and O2 -generating nanoparticles. This review aimed to discuss the role of nanotechnology in tumor oxygenation and highlight the challenges, prospective, and recent advances in this area to improve PDT outcomes.

Abstract
The inadequate oxygen supply to engineered tissues has been a persistent challenge in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. To overcome this limitation, we developed a scaffold combined with an oxygen-releasing liposomal system comprising catalase-loaded liposomes (CAT@Lip) and H2O2-loaded liposomes (H2O2@Lip). This oxygenation system has shown high cytocompatibility when they were applied to human stromal cells. Under hypoxic conditions, the cell viability enclosed in the oxygen-releasing liposomal alginate hydrogel (94.62 ± 3.46 %) was significantly higher than that of cells enclosed in hydrogel without liposomes (47.18 ± 9.68 %). There was no significant difference in cell viability and apoptosis rate compared to normoxia conditions after three days, indicating the effectiveness of the oxygen-releasing approach in hypoxic conditions. In conclusion, our study demonstrates that the use of liposomal oxygen-releasing scaffolds can overcome the oxygen diffusion challenge in tissue implant fabrication, providing a simple solution for cellular oxygenation that could be a crucial element in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds are among the major healthcare challenges, consuming billions of dollars of resources and resulting in high numbers of morbidity and mortality every year. Lack of sufficient oxygen supply is one of the most dominant causes of impaired healing in diabetic wounds. Numerous clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated positive outcomes as a result of delivering oxygen at the diabetic wound site, including enhanced angiogenesis, antibacterial and cell proliferation activities. However, prolonged and sustained delivery of oxygen to improve the wound healing process has remained a major challenge due to rapid release of oxygen from oxygen sources and limited penetration of oxygen into deep skin tissues. Hydrogels made from sugar-based polymers such as chitosan and hyaluronic acid, and proteins such as gelatin, collagen and hemoglobin have been widely used to deliver oxygen in a sustained delivery mode. This review presents an overview of the recent advances in oxygen releasing hydrogel based patches as a therapeutic modality to enhance diabetic wound healing. Various types of oxygen releasing wound healing patch have been discussed along with their fabrication method, release profile, cytocompatibility and in vivo results. We also briefly discuss the challenges and prospects related to the application of oxygen releasing biomaterials as wound healing therapeutics.

Abstract
Oxygen is critical to the survival, function and fate of mammalian cells. Oxygen tension controls cellular behavior through metabolic programming, which in turn controls tissue regeneration. A variety of biomaterials with oxygen-releasing capabilities have been developed to provide oxygen supply to ensure cell survival and differentiation for therapeutic efficacy, and to prevent hypoxia-induced tissue damage and cell death. However, controlling the oxygen release with spatial and temporal accuracy is still technically challenging. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of organic and inorganic materials available as oxygen sources, including hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), photosynthetic organisms, solid and liquid peroxides, and some of the latest materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Additionally, we introduce the corresponding carrier materials and the oxygen production methods and present state-of-the-art applications and breakthroughs of oxygen-releasing materials. Furthermore, we discuss the current challenges and the future perspectives in the field. After reviewing the recent progress and the future perspectives of oxygen-releasing materials, we predict that smart material systems that combine precise detection of oxygenation and adaptive control of oxygen delivery will be the future trend for oxygen-releasing materials in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Heart failure is a critical and ultimate phase of cardiovascular ailment that leads to a considerable incidence of disability and mortality. Among various factors contributing to heart failure, myocardial infarction is one of the most frequent and significant causes, which is still difficult to manage effectively. An innovative therapeutic strategy, namely a 3D bio-printed cardiac patch, has recently emerged as a promising approach to substitute damaged cardiomyocytes in a localized infarct region. Nevertheless, the efficacy of this treatment primarily relies on the long-term viability of the transplanted cells. In this study, we aimed to construct acoustically sensitive nano oxygen carriers to improve cell survival inside the bio-3D printed patch. In this study, we initially created nanodroplets capable of phase transition triggered by ultrasound and integrated them into GelMA (Gelatin Methacryloyl) hydrogels, which were then employed for 3D bioprinting. After adding nanodroplets and ultrasonic irradiation, numerous pores appeared inside the hydrogel with improved permeability. We further encapsulated hemoglobin into nanodroplets (ND-Hb) to construct oxygen carriers. Results of in vitro experiments showed the highest cell survival within the patch of ND-Hb irradiated by the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) group. The genomic analysis discovered that the increased survival of seeded cells within the patch might be related to the protection of mitochondrial function owing to the improved hypoxic state. Eventually, in vivo studies revealed that the LIPUS+ND-Hb group had improved cardiac function and increased revascularization after myocardial infarction. To summarize, our study successfully improved the permeability of the hydrogel in a non-invasive and efficient manner, facilitating the exchange of substances in the cardiac patch. Moreover, ultrasound-controlled oxygen release augmented the viability of the transplanted cells and expedited the repair of infarcted tissues.

Abstract
Oxygen is one of the essential requirements for cell survival, retention, and proliferation. The field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering (TE) has realized considerable achievements for the regeneration of tissues. However, tissue regeneration still lacks the full functionality of solid organ implantations; limited cell survival and retention due to oxidative stress and hypoxia in the deeper parts of tissues remains a perpetual challenge. Especially prior to neovascularization, hypoxia is a major limiting factor, since oxygen delivery becomes crucial for cell survival throughout the tissue-engineered construct. Oxygen diffusion is generally limited in the range 100-200 μm of the thickness of a scaffold, and the cells located beyond this distance face oxygen deprivation, which ultimately leads to hypoxia. Furthermore, before achieving functional anastomosis, implanted tissues will be depleted of oxygen, resulting in hypoxia (<5% dissolved oxygen) followed by anoxic (<0.5% dissolved oxygen) microenvironments. Different types of approaches have been adopted to establish a sustained oxygen supply both in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we have summarized the recent developments in oxygen-generating and/or releasing biomaterials for enhancing cell survival in vitro, as well as for promoting soft and hard tissue repair, including skin, heart, nerve, pancreas, muscle, and bone tissues in vivo. In addition, redox-scavenging biomaterials and oxygenated scaffolds have also been highlighted. The surveyed results have shown significant promise in oxygen-producing biomaterials and oxygen carriers for enhancing cell functionality for regenerative medicine and TE applications. Taken together, this review provides a detailed overview of newer approaches and technologies for oxygen production, as well as their applications for bio-related disciplines.

Abstract
The latest advancements in bone scaffold technology have introduced novel biomaterials that have the ability to generate oxygen when implanted, improving cell viability and tissue maturation. In this paper, we present a new oxygen-generating polylactic acid (PLA)/calcium peroxide (CPO) composite filament that can be used in 3D printing scaffolds. The composite material was prepared using a wet solution mixing method, followed by drying and hot melting extrusion. The concentration of calcium peroxide in the composite varied from 0% to 9%. The prepared filaments were characterized in terms of the presence of calcium peroxide, the generated oxygen release, porosity, and antibacterial activities. Data obtained from scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction showed that the calcium peroxide remained stable in the composite. The maximum calcium and oxygen release was observed in filaments with a 6% calcium peroxide content. In addition, bacterial inhibition was achieved in samples with a calcium peroxide content of 6% or higher. These results indicate that an optimized PLA filament with a 6% calcium peroxide content holds great promise for improving bone generation through bone cell oxygenation and resistance to bacterial infections.

Abstract
The limited availability of transplantable organs hinders the success of patient treatment through organ transplantation. In addition, there are challenges with immune rejection and the risk of disease transmission when receiving organs from other individuals. Tissue engineering aims to overcome these challenges by generating functional three-dimensional (3D) tissue constructs. When developing tissues or organs of a particular shape, structure, and size as determined by the specific needs of the therapeutic intervention, a tissue specific oxygen supply to all parts of the tissue construct is an utmost requirement. Moreover, the lack of a functional vasculature in engineered tissues decreases cell survival upon implantation in the body. Oxygen-generating materials can alleviate this challenge in engineered tissue constructs by providing oxygen in a sustained and controlled manner. Oxygen-generating materials can be incorporated into 3D scaffolds allowing the cells to receive and utilize oxygen efficiently. In this review, we present an overview of the use of oxygen-generating materials in various tissue engineering applications in an organ specific manner as well as their potential use in the clinic.

Abstract
The lack of oxygen supply in engineered constructs has been an ongoing challenge for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Upon implantation of an engineered tissue, spontaneous blood vessel formation does not happen rapidly, therefore, there is typically a limited availability of oxygen in engineered biomaterials. Providing oxygen in large tissue-engineered constructs is a major challenge that hinders the development of clinically relevant engineered tissues. Similarly, maintaining adequate oxygen levels in cell-laden tissue engineered products during transportation and storage is another hurdle. There is an unmet demand for functional scaffolds that could actively produce and deliver oxygen, attainable by incorporating oxygen-generating materials. Recent approaches include encapsulation of oxygen-generating agents such as solid peroxides, liquid peroxides, and fluorinated substances in the scaffolds. Recent approaches to mitigate the adverse effects, as well as achieving a sustained and controlled release of oxygen, are discussed. Importance of oxygen-generating materials in various tissue engineering approaches such as ex vivo tissue engineering, in situ tissue engineering, and bioprinting are highlighted in detail. In addition, the existing challenges, possible solutions, and future strategies that aim to design clinically relevant multifunctional oxygen-generating biomaterials are provided in this review paper.

Abstract
Three-dimensional bioprinting is a powerful technique for manufacturing improved engineered tissues. Three-dimensional bioprinted hydrogels have significantly advanced the medical field to repair cartilage tissue, allowing for such constructs to be loaded with different components, such as cells, nanoparticles, and/or drugs. Cartilage, as an avascular tissue, presents extreme difficulty in self-repair when it has been damaged. In this way, hydrogels with optimal chemical and physical properties have been researched to respond to external stimuli and release various bioactive agents to further promote a desired tissue response. For instance, methacryloyl gelatin (GelMA) is a type of modified hydrogel that allows for the encapsulation of cells, as well as oxygen-releasing nanoparticles that, in the presence of an aqueous medium and through controlled porosity and swelling, allow for internal and external environmental exchanges. This review explores the 3D bioprinting of hydrogels, with a particular focus on GelMA hydrogels, to repair cartilage tissue. Recent advances and future perspectives are described.

Abstract
Oxygen releasing biomaterials can facilitate the survival of living implants by creating environments with a viable oxygen level. Hydrophobic oxygen generating microparticles (HOGMPs) encapsulated calcium peroxide (CPO) have recently been used in tissue engineering to release physiologically relevant amounts of oxygen for several weeks. However, generating oxygen using CPO is mediated via the generation of toxic levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). The incorporation of antioxidants, such as catalases, can potentially reduce H2 O2 levels. However, the formulation in which catalases can most effectively scavenge H2 O2 within oxygen generating biomaterials has remained unexplored. In this study, three distinct catalase incorporation methods are compared based on their ability to decrease H2 O2 levels. Specifically, catalase is incorporated within HOGMPs, or absorbed onto HOGMPs, or freely laden into the hydrogel entrapping HOGMPs and compared with control without catalase. Supplementation of free catalase in an HOGMP-laden hydrogel significantly decreases H2 O2 levels reflecting a higher cellular viability and metabolic activity of all the groups. An HOGMP/catalase-laden hydrogel precursor solution containing cells is used as an oxygenating bioink allowing improved viability of printed constructs under severe hypoxic conditions. The combination of HOGMPs with a catalase-laden hydrogel has the potential to decrease peroxide toxicity of oxygen generating tissues.

Abstract
Over the last decade, inorganic/organic hybrids have been exploited for oxygen-carrying materials and drug delivery. Its low-cost synthesis, controlled shape and size, and stability have made it a viable delivery strategy for therapeutic agents. Rutin (quercetin-3-O-rutinoside) is a bioflavonoid found in fruits and vegetables. Rutin has a variety of pharmaceutical applications, but its low water solubility reduces its stability and bioavailability. As a result, we introduce a new and stable nanosystem for loading a low-soluble drug (rutin) into oxygen-carrying periodic mesoporous organosilicas (PMO-PFCs). Over the course of 14 days, this nanosystem provided a sustained oxygen level to the cells in both normoxic and hypoxic conditions. At different pH values, the drug release (rutin) profile is also observed. Furthermore, the rutin-coated PMO-PFCs interacted with both healthy and malignant cells. The healthy cells have better cell viability on the rutin-coated oxygen-carrying PMO-PFCs, while the malignant cells have a lower cell viability.

Abstract
Extended tourniquet application, often associated with battlefield extremity trauma, can lead to severe ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in skeletal muscle. Particulate oxygen generators (POGs) can be directly injected into tissue to supply oxygen to attenuate the effects of I/R injury in muscle. The goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a sodium percarbonate (SPO)-based POG formulation in reducing ischemic damage in a rat hindlimb during tourniquet application. Male Lewis rats were anesthetized and underwent tourniquet application for 3 h at a pressure of 300 mmHg. Shortly after tourniquet inflation, animals received intramuscular injections of either 0.2 mg/mL SPO with catalase (n = 6) or 2.0 mg/mL SPO with catalase (n = 6) directly into the tibialis anterior (TA) muscle. An additional Tourniquet-Only group (n = 12) received no intervention. Functional recovery was monitored by in vivo contractile testing of the hindlimb at 1, 2, and 4 wk after injury. By the 4 wk time point, the Low-Dose POG group continued to show improved functional recovery (85% of baseline) compared with the Tourniquet-Only (48%) and High-Dose POG (56%) groups. In short, the low-dose POG formulation appeared, at least in part, to mitigate the impact of ischemic tissue injury, thus improving contractile function after tourniquet application. Functional improvement correlated with maintenance of larger muscle fiber cross-sectional area and the presence of fewer fibers containing centrally located nuclei. As such, POGs represent a potentially attractive therapeutic solution for addressing I/R injuries associated with extremity trauma.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Skeletal muscle contraction was evaluated in the same animals at multiple time points up to 4 wk after injury, following administration of particulate oxygen generators (POGs) in a clinically relevant rat hindlimb model of tourniquet-induced ischemia. The observed POG-mediated improvement of muscle function over time confirms and extends previous studies to further document the potential clinical applications of POGs. Of particular significance in austere environments, this technology can be applied in the absence of an intact circulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia due to closure at the ostiomeatal complex is widely considered one of the major pathogenic mechanisms leading to chronic inflammation in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The objective of this study was to develop and characterize an oxygen-generating biomaterial (OGB) as an innovative treatment strategy for CRS. METHODS An OGB was fabricated by coating hydrophobic beeswax (BW, 15mg or 30mg) on the surface of calcium peroxide - catalase complex (CPO-CA, 30mg) and characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In vitro releases of both oxygen and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) were spectrophotometrically quantified, and cytotoxicity in human sinonasal epithelial cells (HSNECs) was evaluated. The influence of OGB on transepithelial Cl- secretion was also determined by pharmacologically manipulating HSNECs, cultured under hypoxic conditions, in Ussing chambers. RESULTS Three groups of OGBs: (1) CPO only; (2) CPO coated with CA and BW (1:1 ratio, CPO-CA(1)-BW(1)); and (3) CPO coated with CA and BW (1:0.5 ratio, CPO-CA(1)-BW(0.5) were analyzed for accumulated oxygen release over 7 days: highest release (mmol/mg) was observed in CPO-CA(1)-BW(1) = 0.11 ± 0.003, followed by CPO-CA(1)-BW(0.5) = 0.08 ± 0.010, and CPO = 0.05 ± 0.004 (p < 0.0001). H2 O2 production (mM) was significantly higher in CPO (1.87 ± 0.50) compared to CPO-CA (1)-BW(1) (0.00 ± 0.00) (p < 0.001) after 24 h. CPO-CA(1)-BW(1) showed significantly reduced cytotoxicity and increased Cl- transport compared to the CPO group. CONCLUSION A novel OGB (CPO-CA-BW complex) exhibited sustained oxygen release over 7 days without significant cytotoxicity after 24 h in vitro. Preclinical studies evaluating the efficacy of OGB in CRS are warranted, especially for potential therapy in an obstruction-based CRS model.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), triggered by blockage of a coronary artery, remains the most common cause of death worldwide. After MI, the capability of providing sufficient blood and oxygen significantly decreases in the heart. This event leads to depletion of oxygen from cardiac tissue and consequently leads to massive cardiac cell death due to hypoxemia. Over the past few decades, many studies have been carried out to discover acceptable approaches to treat MI. However, very few have addressed the crucial role of efficient oxygen delivery to the injured heart. Thus, various strategies were developed to increase the delivery of oxygen to cardiac tissue and improve its function. Here, we have given an overall discussion of the oxygen delivery mechanisms and how the current technologies are employed to treat patients suffering from MI, including a comprehensive view on three major technical approaches such as oxygen therapy, hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), and oxygen-releasing biomaterials (ORBs). Although oxygen therapy and HBOCs have shown promising results in several animal and clinical studies, they still have a few drawbacks which limit their effectiveness. More recent studies have investigated the efficacy of ORBs which may play a key role in the future of oxygenation of cardiac tissue. In addition, a summary of conducted studies under each approach and the remaining challenges of these methods are discussed.

Abstract
Bone fractures have a high degree of severity. This is usually a result of the physical trauma of diseases that affect bone tissues, such as osteoporosis. Due to its highly vascular nature, the bone is in a constant state of remodeling. Although those of younger ages possess bones with high regenerative potential, the impact of a disrupted vasculature can severely affect the recovery process and cause osteonecrosis. This is commonly seen in the neck of femur, scaphoid, and talus bone. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy has been used to aid in the regeneration of afflicted bone. However, the cut-off in blood supply due to bone fractures can lead to hypoxia-induced changes in engrafted MSCs. Researchers have designed several oxygen-generating biomaterials and yielded varying degrees of success in enhancing tissue salvage and preserving cellular metabolism under ischemia. These can be utilized to further improve stem cell therapy for bone repair. In this review, we touch on the pathophysiology of these bone fractures and review the application of oxygen-generating biomaterials to further enhance MSC-mediated repair of fractures in the three aforementioned parts of the bone.

Abstract
Sustained external supply of oxygen (O2) to engineered tissue constructs is important for their survival in the body while angiogenesis is taking place. In the recent years, the trend towards the fabrication of various O2-generating materials that can provide prolonged and controlled O2 source to the large volume tissue constructs resulted in preventing necrosis associated with the lack of O2 supply. In this review, we explain different methods employed in the fabrication of O2-generating materials such as emulsion, microfluidics, solvent casting, freeze drying, electrospraying, gelation, microfluidic and three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting methods. After discussing pros and cons of each method, we review physical, chemical, and biological characterisation techniques used to analyse the resulting product. Finally, the challenges and future directions in the field are discussed.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive malignant brain tumor and is associated with a very poor prognosis. The standard treatment for newly diagnosed patients involves total tumor surgical resection (if possible), plus irradiation and adjuvant chemotherapy. Despite treatment, the prognosis is still poor, and the tumor often recurs within two centimeters of the original tumor. A promising approach to improving the efficacy of GBM therapeutics is to utilize biomaterials to deliver them locally at the tumor site. Local delivery to GBM offers several advantages over systemic administration, such as bypassing the blood-brain barrier and increasing the bioavailability of the therapeutic at the tumor site without causing systemic toxicity. Local delivery may also combat tumor recurrence by maintaining sufficient drug concentrations at and surrounding the original tumor area. Herein, we critically appraised the literature on local delivery systems based within the following categories: polymer-based implantable devices, polymeric injectable systems, and hydrogel drug delivery systems. We also discussed the negative effect of hypoxia on treatment strategies and how one might utilize local implantation of oxygen-generating biomaterials as an adjuvant to enhance current therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
The osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH), a common refractory disease, is still not fully understood today. Hypoxia caused by ischemia is not only an important pathogenic factor but also a critical challenge for the survival of seed cells in the tissue engineering therapy of ONFH. To explore an efficient strategy to treat ONFH by targeting hypoxia, newly designed CaO2/gelatin microspheres were composited with 3D printed polycaprolactone/nano-hydroxyapatite (PCL/nHA) porous scaffold, sodium alginate/gelatin hydrogel, and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) to develop a novel tissue engineering scaffold and then transplanted into the core depression area of the ONFH rabbit model. The current data demonstrated that CaO2/gelatin microspheres can constantly release oxygen for 19 days. In vitro assays with BMSCs illustrated that scaffolds have high biocompatibility and are favorable for cell proliferation in extreme hypoxia (1% O2). The in vivo study demonstrated that the transplanted scaffold with oxygen-generating microspheres significantly enhanced the osteogenic and angiogenic effects compared to the scaffold without microspheres. Further assessments revealed that microspheres in the scaffold can reduce the local cell apoptosis and enhance the survival of grafted cells in the host. Collectively, the present study developed a novel oxygen slow-releasing composite scaffold, which can facilitate tissue engineering efficiency for treating the osteonecrosis of the femoral head by enhancing the angiogenesis and survival of grafted stem cells.

Abstract
We describe a new organic peroxide-based injectable biomaterial that was prepared by using benzoylperoxide and LAPONITE® incorporated into an alginate hydrogel (BPO-AlgL). BPO-AlgL shows sustained release of O2 over a period of 14 days and reduces the hypoxia-induced cell death. BPO-AlgL also promotes enhanced cell viability by providing sustained O2 within the 3D AlgL scaffold. In addition, BPO-AlgL increases the O2 level in the environment of the cells, which led to a decrease in the proliferation of malignant cells, while it also resulted in an increase in the viability of healthy fibroblast cells. Therefore, our new oxygen generating organic peroxide-based injectable 3D biomaterials have potential to contribute in the development of next generation advanced tissue engineering biomaterials.

Abstract
Manufacturing macroscale cell-laden architectures is one of the biggest challenges faced nowadays in the domain of tissue engineering. Such living constructs, in fact, pose strict requirements for nutrients and oxygen supply that can hardly be addressed through simple diffusion in vitro or without a functional vasculature in vivo. In this context, in the last two decades, a substantial amount of work has been carried out to develop smart materials that could actively provide oxygen-release to contrast local hypoxia in large-size constructs. This review provides an overview of the currently available oxygen-releasing materials and their synthesis and mechanism of action, highlighting their capacities under in vitro tissue cultures and in vivo contexts. Additionally, we also showcase an emerging concept, herein termed as "living materials as releasing systems", which relies on the combination of biomaterials with photosynthetic microorganisms, namely algae, in an "unconventional" attempt to supply the damaged or re-growing tissue with the necessary supply of oxygen. We envision that future advances focusing on tissue microenvironment regulated oxygen-supplying materials would unlock an untapped potential for generating a repertoire of anatomic scale, living constructs with improved cell survival, guided differentiation, and tissue-specific biofunctionality.

Abstract
Over the past decade, there have been many attempts to engineer systems capable of delivering oxygen to overcome the effects of both systemic and local hypoxia that occurs as a result of traumatic injury, cell transplantation, or tumor growth, among many others. Despite progress in this field, which has led to a new class of oxygen-generating biomaterials, most reported techniques lack the tunability necessary for independent control over the oxygen flux (volume per unit time) and the duration of delivery, both of which are key parameters for overcoming tissue hypoxia of varying etiologies. Here, we show that these critical parameters can be effectively manipulated using hyperbarically-loaded polymeric microcapsules (PMC). PMCs are micron-sized particles with hollow cores and polymeric shells. We show that oxygen delivery through PMCs is dependent on its permeability through the polymeric shell, the shell thickness, and the pressure gradient across the shell. We also demonstrate that incorporating an intermediate oil layer between the polymeric shell and the gas core prevents rapid outgassing by effectively lowering the resultant pressure gradient across the polymeric membrane following depressurization.

Abstract
Cell survival during the early stages of transplantation and before new blood vessels formation is a major challenge in translational applications of 3D bioprinted tissues. Supplementing oxygen (O2 ) to transplanted cells via an O2 generating source such as calcium peroxide (CPO) is an attractive approach to ensure cell viability. Calcium peroxide also produces calcium hydroxide that reduces the viscosity of bioinks, which is a limiting factor for bioprinting. Therefore, adapting this solution into 3D bioprinting is of significant importance. In this study, a gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) bioink that is optimized in terms of pH and viscosity is developed. The improved rheological properties lead to the production of a robust bioink suitable for 3D bioprinting and controlled O2 release. In addition, O2 release, bioprinting conditions, and mechanical performance of hydrogels having different CPO concentrations are characterized. As a proof of concept study, fibroblasts and cardiomyocytes are bioprinted using CPO containing GelMA bioink. Viability and metabolic activity of printed cells are checked after 7 days of culture under hypoxic condition. The results show that the addition of CPO improves the metabolic activity and viability of cells in bioprinted constructs under hypoxic condition.

Abstract
Oxygen deficiency resulting from bone fracture-induced vascular disruption leads to massive cell death and delayed osteoblast differentiation, ultimately impairing new bone formation and fracture healing. Enhancing local tissue oxygenation can help promote bone regeneration. In this work, an injectable composite oxygen-generating system consisting of calcium peroxide (CaO2)/manganese dioxide (MnO2)-encapsulated poly lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) microparticles (CaO2 + MnO2@PLGA MPs) is proposed for the local delivery of oxygen. By utilizing a series of methodologies, the impacts of each component used for MP fabrication on the oxygen release behavior and cytotoxicity of the CaO2 + MnO2@ PLGA MPs are thoroughly investigated. Our analytical data obtained from in vitro studies indicate that the optimized CaO2 + MnO2@PLGA MPs developed in this study can effectively relieve the hypoxia of preosteoblast MC3T3-E1 cells that are grown under low oxygen tension and promote their osteogenic differentiation, thus holding great promise in enhancing fractural healing by increasing tissue oxygenation.

Abstract
3D bioprinting directly into injured sites in a surgical setting, intraoperative bioprinting (IOB), is an effective process, in which the defect information can be rapidly acquired and then repaired via bioprinting on a live subject. In patients needing tissue resection, debridement, traumatic reconstruction, or fracture repair, the ability to scan and bioprint immediately following surgical preparation of the defect site has great potential to improve the precision and efficiency of these procedures. In this opinion article, we provide the reader with current major limitations of IOB from engineering and clinical points of view, as well as possibilities of future translation of bioprinting technologies from bench to bedside, and expound our perspectives in the context of IOB of composite and vascularized tissues.

Abstract
Oxygen is a vital molecule for cell and tissue processes. Electrospun fibers have been extensively used as drug loading carriers due to possibility of well control over drug release with modulating fiber properties. However, they have not been used as depots for oxygen release. In the present study, an oxygen-releasing nanofibrous scaffold has been developed by electrospinning of polylactic acid/nano-calcium peroxide suspension with different polylactic acid concentrations (6.5 and 13% w/v). The electrospun fibers with calcium peroxide cargo provided oxygen content of 30–94 mmHg in a period of 14 days which lies well within the oxygen level of osseous tissue. The release profile of 13% polylactic acid fibers was different with that of 6.5% fibers with respects to the initial content of released oxygen and the release rate. Not only did 13% fibers supply oxygen with a slower rate, but also they resulted in a lower burst release of oxygen. Cell culture studies in hypoxia corroborated that 13% polylactic acid fibers better preserve cell viability comparing 6.5% counterparts as perceived by MTT assay. Moreover, they endowed more favored milieu for adherence, arrangement and migration of mesenchymal stem cells as confirmed by microscopy images. The oxygen-releasing fibers equally affected alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and calcium deposition by mesenchymal stem cells most likely due to interplay between topographical and metabolic cues offered by 6.5 and 13% formulations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The facile preparation of oxygen-generating microparticles (M) consisting of Polycaprolactone (PCL), Pluronic F-127, and calcium peroxide (CPO) (PCL-F-CPO-M) fabricated through an electrospraying process is disclosed. The biological study confirmed the positive impact from the oxygen-generating microparticles on the cell growth with high viability. The presented technology could work as a prominent tool for various tissue engineering and biomedical applications. METHODS The oxygen-generated microparticles fabricated through electrospraying processes were thoroughly characterization through various methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/SEM-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. RESULTS The analyses confirmed the presence of the various components and the porous structure of the microparticles. Spherical shape with spongy characteristic microparticles were obtained with negative charge surface (ζ = -16.9) and a size of 17.00 ± 0.34 μm. Furthermore, the biological study performed on rat chondrocytes demonstrated good cell viability and the positive impact of increasing the amount of CPO in the PCL-F-CPO-M. CONCLUSION This technological platform could work as an important tool for tissue engineering due to the ability of the microparticles to release oxygen in a sustained manner for up to 7 days with high cell viability.

Abstract
Recent advances in cell metabolism studies have deepened the appreciation of the role of metabolic regulation in influencing cell behavior during differentiation, angiogenesis, and immune response in the regenerative engineering scenarios. However, the understanding of whether the intracellular metabolic pathways could be influenced by material-derived cues remains limited, although it is now well appreciated that material cues modulate cell functions. Here, an overview of how the regulation of different aspect of cell metabolism, including energy homeostasis, oxygen homeostasis, and redox homeostasis could contribute to modulation of cell function is provided. Furthermore, recent evidence demonstrating how material cues, including the release of inherent metabolic factors (e.g., ions, regulatory metabolites, and oxygen), tuning of the biochemical cues (e.g., inherent antioxidant properties, cell adhesivity, and chemical composition of nanomaterials), and changing in biophysical cues (topography and surface stiffness), may impact cell metabolism toward modulated cell behavior are discussed. Based on the resurgence of interest in cell metabolism and metabolic regulation, further development of biomaterials enabling metabolic regulation toward dictating cell function is poised to have substantial implications for regenerative engineering.

Abstract
Supplying oxygen to inner areas of cell constructs to support cell proliferation and metabolism is a major challenge in tissue engineering involving stem cells. Developing devices that incorporate oxygen release materials to increase the availability of the localized oxygen supply is therefore key to addressing this limitation. Herein, we designed and developed a 3D-printed oxygen-releasing device composed of an alginate hydrogel scaffold combined with an oxygen-generating biomaterial (calcium peroxide) to improve the oxygen supply of the microenvironment for culturing adipose tissue-derived stem cells. The results demonstrated that the 3D-printed oxygen-releasing device alleviated hypoxia, maintained oxygen availability, and ensured proliferation of the embedded cells, whilst also reducing hypoxia-induced apoptosis. The introduction of this 3D-printed oxygen-releasing device could enhance the survival of embedded stem cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Evidence suggests that the energy efficiency of key ATPases involved in skeletal muscle contractile activity is improved in a hypothermic condition. However, it is unclear how a decrease in temperature affects skeletal muscle O2 consumption (mVO2) induced by muscle contraction. METHODS Isolated mouse extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles were incubated in a temperature-controlled (37°C or 25°C) bath that included an O2 probe. EDL muscles from one limb were subjected to the measurement of resting mVO2, and the contralateral EDL muscles were used for the measurement of mVO2 with electrically stimulated contraction. For the resting protocol, muscles were suspended at resting tension for 15 min with continuous O2 recordings. For the contraction protocol, EDL muscles underwent 10 electrically stimulated isometric contractions with continuous O2 recordings for 15 min. The rate of O2 disappearance was quantified as micromoles of O2 per minute and normalized to the wet weight of the muscle. RESULTS Resting mVO2 was greater at 37°C than at 25°C, consistent with the idea that lower temperature reduces basal metabolic rate. Electrically stimulated contraction robustly increased mVO2 at both 37°C and 25°C, which was sustained for ~3 min postcontraction. During that period, mVO2 was elevated approximately fivefold at both 37°C and 25°C. Greater contraction-induced mVO2 at 37°C compared with 25°C occurred despite lower force generated at 37°C than at 25°C. CONCLUSIONS Together, O2 cost for muscle contraction (force-time integral per O2 consumed) was greater at 37°C than at 25°C. Levels of high-energy phosphates were consistent with greater energy demand at 37°C compared with 25°C. In conclusion, these results indicate that muscle contraction that occurs at subnormal temperature requires less O2 than at 37°C.

Abstract
Cell transplantation is a promising treatment for complementing lost function by replacing new cells with a desired function, e.g. pancreatic islet transplantation for diabetics. To prevent cell obliteration, oxygen supply is critical after transplantation, especially until the graft is sufficiently re-vascularized. To supply oxygen during this period, we developed a chemical-/electrical-free implantable oxygen transporter that delivers oxygen to the hypoxic graft site from ambient air by diffusion potential. This device is simply structured using a biocompatible silicone-based body that holds islets, connected to a tube that opens outside the body. In computational simulations, the oxygen transporter increased the oxygen level to >120 mmHg within grafts; in contrast, a control device that did not transport oxygen showed <6.5 mmHg. In vitro experiments demonstrated similar results. To test the effectiveness of the oxygen transporter in vivo, we transplanted pancreatic islets, which are susceptible to hypoxia, subcutaneously into diabetic rats. Islets transplanted using the oxygen transporter showed improved graft viability and cellular function over the control device. These results indicate that our oxygen transporter, which is safe and easily fabricated, effectively supplies oxygen locally. Such a device would be suitable for multiple clinical applications, including cell transplantations that require changing a hypoxic microenvironment into an oxygen-rich site.

Abstract
Damage caused by oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) is one of the major factors limiting tissue and organ preservation time. Cooling tissues slows down metabolic rate of cells thereby prolonging tissue and organ survival sufficiently to allow transport and transplantation within a few hours. Although metabolism is slowed, cells and some enzymes continue to consume oxygen that can render cold stored tissues hypoxic. Here, an oxygen-generating composite (OGC) with sustained oxygen release is reported for ex vivo blood vessel preservation. Aorta segments are cultured under hypothermia for 25 days in vascular preservation media. The presence of OGC increases cell viability from 9 ± 6% to 96 ± 3% and retains 65 ± 8% of original KCl stimulated contractile force after 25 days compared with 25 ± 4% in controls. Culture for 7 days in nitrogen demonstrates proof-of-concept for normothermic blood vessel preservation, OGC increases the cell viability from 45 ± 15% to 78 ± 2%, and KCl stimulates contractile force from 49 ± 7% to 95 ± 8%, respectively. Oxygen release materials then may have a role in augmenting current preservation techniques.

Abstract
Oxygen is a vital source of energy necessary to sustain and complete embryonic development. Not only is oxygen the driving force for many cellular functions and metabolism, but it is also involved in regulating stem cell fate, morphogenesis, and organogenesis. Low oxygen levels are the naturally preferred microenvironment for most processes during early development and mainly drive proliferation. Later on, more oxygen and also nutrients are needed for organogenesis and morphogenesis. Therefore, it is critical to maintain oxygen levels within a narrow range as required during development. Modulating oxygen tensions is performed via oxygen homeostasis mainly through the function of hypoxia-inducible factors. Through the function of these factors, oxygen levels are sensed and regulated in different tissues, starting from their embryonic state to adult development. To be able to mimic this process in a tissue engineering setting, it is important to understand the role and levels of oxygen in each developmental stage, from embryonic stem cell differentiation to organogenesis and morphogenesis. Taking lessons from native tissue microenvironments, researchers have explored approaches to control oxygen tensions such as hemoglobin-based, perfluorocarbon-based, and oxygen-generating biomaterials, within synthetic tissue engineering scaffolds and organoids, with the aim of overcoming insufficient or nonuniform oxygen levels and nutrient supply.

Abstract
Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) is a devastating autoimmune disorder which results in the destruction of beta cells within the pancreas. A promising treatment strategy for T1D is the replacement of the lost beta cell mass through implantation of immune-isolated microencapsulated islets referred to as the bioartificial pancreas. The goal of this approach is to restore blood glucose regulation and prevent the long-term comorbidities of T1D without the need for immunosuppressants. A major requirement in the quest to achieve this goal is to address the oxygen needs of islet cells. Islets are highly metabolically active and require a significant amount of oxygen for normal function. During the process of isolation, microencapsulation, and processing prior to transplantation, the islets' oxygen supply is disrupted, and a large amount of islet cells are therefore lost due to extended hypoxia, thus creating a major barrier to clinical success with this treatment. In this work, we have investigated the oxygen generating compounds, sodium percarbonate (SPO) and calcium peroxide (CPO) as potential supplemental oxygen sources for islets during isolation and encapsulation before and immediately after transplantation. First, SPO particles were used as an oxygen source for islets during isolation. Secondly, silicone films containing SPO were used to provide supplemental oxygen to islets for up to 4 days in culture. Finally, CPO was used as an oxygen source for encapsulated cells by co-encapsulating CPO particles with islets in permselective alginate microspheres. These studies provide an important proof of concept for the utilization of these oxygen generating materials to prevent beta cell death caused by hypoxia.

Abstract
Pancreatic islet transplantation is a promising treatment option for individuals with type 1 diabetes; however, maintaining islet function after transplantation remains a large challenge. Multiple factors, including hypoxia associated events, trigger pretransplant and posttransplant loss of islet function. In fact, islets are easily damaged in hypoxic conditions before transplantation including the preparation steps of pancreas procurement, islet isolation, and culture. Furthermore, after transplantation, islets are also exposed to the hypoxic environment of the transplant site until they are vascularized and engrafted. Because islets are exposed to such drastic environmental changes, protective measures are important to maintain islet viability and function. Many studies have demonstrated that the prevention of hypoxia contributes to maintaining islet quality. In this review, we summarize the latest oxygen-related islet physiology, including computational simulation. Furthermore, we review recent advances in oxygen-associated treatment options used as part of the transplant process, including up-to-date oxygen generating biomaterials as well as a classical oxygen inhalation therapy.

Abstract
In the XXI century diabetes mellitus has become one of the main threats to human health with higher incidence in regions such as Europe and North America. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) occurs as a consequence of the immune-mediated destruction of insulin producing β-cells located in the endocrine part of the pancreas, the islets of Langerhans. The administration of exogenous insulin through daily injections is the most prominent treatment for T1DM but its administration is frequently associated to failure in glucose metabolism control, finally leading to hyperglycemia episodes. Other approaches have been developed in the past decades, such as whole pancreas and islet allotransplantation, but they are restricted to patients who exhibit frequent episodes of hypoglycemia or renal failure because the lack of donors and islet survival. Moreover, patients transplanted with either whole pancreas or islets require of immune suppression to avoid the rejection of the transplant. Currently, advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP), such as implantable devices, have been developed in order to reduce immune rejection response while increasing cell survival. To overcome these issues, ATMPs must promote vascularization, guaranteeing the nutritional contribution, while providing O2 until vasculature can surround the device. Moreover, it should help in the immune-protection to avoid acute and chronic rejection. The transplanted cells or islets should be embedded within biomaterials with tunable properties like injectability, stiffness and porosity mimicking natural ECM structural characteristics. And finally, an infinitive cell source that solves the donor scarcity should be found such as insulin producing cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Several companies have registered their ATMPs and future studies envision new prototypes. In this review, we will discuss the mechanisms and etiology of diabetes, comparing the clinical trials in the last decades in order to define the main characteristics for future ATMPs.

Abstract
A major obstacle to long-term performance of tissue construct implants in regenerative medicine is the inherent hypoxia to which cells in the engineered construct are exposed prior to vascularization of the implant. Various approaches are currently being designed to address this problem. An emerging area of interest on this issue is the use of peroxide-based materials to generate oxygen during the critical period of extended hypoxia that occurs from the time cells are in culture waiting to be used in tissue engineering devices through the immediate post-implant period. In this chapter we provide protocols that we have developed for using these chemical oxygen generators in cell culture and tissue constructs as illustrated by pancreatic islet cell microencapsulation.

Abstract
In addition to immunological and wound healing cell and platelet delivery, ion stasis and nutrient supply, blood delivers oxygen to cells and tissues and removes metabolic wastes. For decades researchers have been trying to develop approaches that mimic these two immediately vital functions of blood. Oxygen is crucial for the long-term survival of tissues and cells in vertebrates. Hypoxia (oxygen deficiency) and even at times anoxia (absence of oxygen) can occur during organ preservation, organ and cell transplantation, wound healing, in tumors and engineering of tissues. Different approaches have been developed to deliver oxygen to tissues and cells, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), normobaric hyperoxia therapy (NBOT), using biochemical reactions and electrolysis, employing liquids with high oxygen solubility, administering hemoglobin, myoglobin and red blood cells (RBCs), introducing oxygen-generating agents, using oxygen-carrying microparticles, persufflation, and peritoneal oxygenation. Metabolic waste accumulation is another issue in biological systems when blood flow is insufficient. Metabolic wastes change the microenvironment of cells and tissues, influence the metabolic activities of cells, and ultimately cause cell death. This review examines advances in blood mimicking systems in the field of biomedical engineering in terms of oxygen delivery and metabolic waste removal.

Abstract
Low availability of oxygen can lead to stalled wound healing processes and chronic wounds. To address local hypoxia and to better understand direct cellular benefits, a perfluorocarbon conjugated chitosan (MACF) hydrogel that delivers oxygen was created and applied for the first time to in vitro cultures of human dermal fibroblasts and human epidermal keratinocytes under both normoxic (21% O2) and hypoxic (1% O2) environments. Results revealed that local application of MACF provided 233.8 ± 9.9 mmHg oxygen partial pressure at 2 h and maintained equilibrium oxygen levels that were approximately 17 mmHg partial pressure greater than untreated controls. Cell culture experiments showed that MACF oxygenating gels improved cellular functions involved in wound healing such as cell metabolism, total DNA synthesis and cell migration under hypoxia in both fibroblasts and keratinocytes. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) quantification also revealed that MACF treatments improved cellular ATP levels significantly over controls under both normoxia and hypoxia (p < 0.005). In total, these studies provide new data to indicate that supplying local oxygen via MACF hydrogels under hypoxic environments improves key wound healing cellular functions.
