Hou Y, Wang W, Bartolo P. The effect of graphene and graphene oxide induced reactive oxygen species on polycaprolactone scaffolds for bone cancer applications. Mater Today Bio 2024; 24:100886. [PMID: 38173865 PMCID: PMC10761775 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2023.100886] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Bone cancer remains a critical healthcare problem. Among current clinical treatments, tumour resection is the most common strategy. It is usually effective but may present several limitations such as multiple operations, long hospital time, and the potential recurrence caused by the incomplete removal of cancer cells. To address these limitations, three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds fabricated through additive manufacturing have been researched for both bone cancer treatment and post-treatment rehabilitation. Polycaprolactone (PCL)-based scaffolds play an important role in bone regeneration, serving as a physical substrate to fill the defect site, recruiting cells, and promoting cell proliferation and differentiation, ultimately leading to the regeneration of the bone tissue without multiple surgical applications. Multiple advanced materials have been incorporated during the fabrication process to improve certain functions and/or modulate biological performances. Graphene-based nanomaterials, particularly graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO), have been investigated both in vitro and in vivo, significantly improving the scaffold's physical, chemical, and biological properties, which strongly depend on the material type and concentration. A unique targeted inhibition effect on cancer cells was also discovered. However, limited research has been conducted on utilising graphene-based nanomaterials for both bone regeneration and bone cancer treatment, and there is no systematic study into the material- and dose-dependent effects, as well as the working mechanism on 3D scaffolds to realise these functions. This paper addresses these limitations by designing and fabricating PCL-based scaffolds containing different concentrations of G and GO and assessing their biological behaviour correlating it to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) release level. Results suggest that the ROS release from the scaffolds is a dominant mechanism that affects the biological behaviour of the scaffolds. ROS release also contributes to the inhibition effect on bone cancer due to healthy cells and cancer cells responding differently to ROS, and the osteogenesis results also present a certain correlation with ROS. These observations revealed a new route for realising bone cancer treatment and subsequent new bone regeneration, using a single dual-functional 3D scaffold.

Abstract
Mechanical properties, such as elasticity modulus, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, density, creep, toughness, brittleness, durability, stiffness, creep rupture, corrosion and wear, a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and fatigue limit, are some of the most important features of a biomaterial in tissue engineering applications. Furthermore, the scaffolds used in tissue engineering must exhibit mechanical and biological behaviour close to the target tissue. Thus, a variety of materials has been studied for enhancing the mechanical performance of composites. Carbon-based nanostructures, such as graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fibrous carbon nanostructures, and nanodiamonds (NDs), have shown great potential for this purpose. This is owing to their biocompatibility, high chemical and physical stability, ease of functionalization, and numerous surface functional groups with the capability to form covalent bonds and electrostatic interactions with other components in the composite, thus significantly enhancing their mechanical properties. Considering the outstanding capabilities of carbon nanostructures in enhancing the mechanical properties of biocomposites and increasing their applicability in tissue engineering and the lack of comprehensive studies on their biosafety and role in increasing the mechanical behaviour of scaffolds, a comprehensive review on carbon nanostructures is provided in this study.

Abstract
Objective Restoring large boney defects using bone grafts alone is an unpredictable procedure. Biodegradable polymeric scaffolds suffer rapid biodegradation and lack sufficient osteo-conductivity. The aim of this study was to histomorphometrically evaluate three-dimensional printed graphene oxide-enriched poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds for bone regeneration in a rabbit defect model using two different concentrations of graphene oxide. Basic characteristic properties and mount of new bone regeneration formation were evaluated. Methods two concentrations of graphene oxide (1 and 3 wt%) were added to PCL scaffolds using hot blind technique while pure PCL scaffolds served as a control. Laboratory characterization included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), contact angle, internal porosity, in addition to density measurements. All scaffolds were subjected to biodegradation evaluation and cell cytotoxicity test. In vivo bone regeneration was evaluated in the tibia defect of a rabbit model by measuring the amount of new bone formation (n = 15, ά = 0.05). Results SEM images showed slight reduction in pore size and increase in filament width of scaffolds with increasing GO contents. However, the printed scaffolds matched well with the dimensions of the original design. XRD patterns revealed characteristic peaks identifying microstructure of scaffolds. Addition of GO increased crystallinity of the scaffolds. The contact angle and porosity readings indicated reduction in measurements with increased content of GO indicating improved wetting properties while the density followed an opposing pattern. Higher biodegradability values were associated with higher GO content resulting in acceleration of observed biodegradation. The results of cytotoxicity test showed reduction in cell viability with higher GO content. Bone regeneration was significantly enhanced for 1 wt% GO scaffolds compared to other groups as was evident by higher bone density observed in x-ray images and higher amount of new bone formation observed at different time intervals. Significance Graphene oxide improved the physical and biological properties of PCL scaffolds and significantly enhanced new bone regeneration.

Abstract
Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex task, and at present, neuroimaging such as magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography is commonly used for the diagnosis of AD. This research work developed a new biosensing method with gold nanomaterial to identify AD biomarker of miRNA-137. Gold nanourchin (GNU) was attached on the interdigitated electrode through the silane linker and COOH-ended capture oligonucleotide was immobilized on the GNU surface. This surface helps to quantify the target sequence of miRNA-137 and the detection limit reached to 0.01 pM on the linear range of 0.01-100 pM. With 3δ calculation on the linearity, the determination coefficient was noticed as y = 1.2867x - 2.2697; R2 = 0.9059. The control performances did not show a significant response, indicating the specific identification of target.

Abstract
Composites of polymer and graphene-based nanomaterials (GBNs) combine easy processing onto porous 3D membrane geometries due to the polymer and cellular differentiation stimuli due to GBNs fillers. Aiming to step forward to the clinical application of polymer/GBNs composites, this study performs a systematic and detailed comparative analysis of the influence of the properties of four different GBNs: (i) graphene oxide obtained from graphite chemically processes (GO); (ii) reduced graphene oxide (rGO); (iii) multilayered graphene produced by mechanical exfoliation method (Gmec); and (iv) low-oxidized graphene via anodic exfoliation (Ganodic); dispersed in polycaprolactone (PCL) porous membranes to induce astrocytic differentiation. PCL/GBN flat membranes were fabricated by phase inversion technique and broadly characterized in morphology and topography, chemical structure, hydrophilicity, protein adsorption, and electrical properties. Cellular assays with rat C6 glioma cells, as model for cell-specific astrocytes, were performed. Remarkably, low GBN loading (0.67 wt%) caused an important difference in the response of the C6 differentiation among PCL/GBN membranes. PCL/rGO and PCL/GO membranes presented the highest biomolecule markers for astrocyte differentiation. Our results pointed to the chemical structural defects in rGO and GO nanomaterials and the protein adsorption mechanisms as the most plausible cause conferring distinctive properties to PCL/GBN membranes for the promotion of astrocytic differentiation. Overall, our systematic comparative study provides generalizable conclusions and new evidences to discern the role of GBNs features for future research on 3D PCL/graphene composite hollow fiber membranes for in vitro neural models.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is highly related to cardiac arrest leading to death and organ damage. Radiological techniques and electrocardiography have been used as preliminary tests to diagnose MI; however, these techniques are not sensitive enough for early-stage detection. A blood biomarker-based diagnosis is an immediate solution, and due to the high correlation of troponin with MI, it has been considered to be a gold-standard biomarker. In the present research, the cardiac biomarker troponin I (cTnI) was detected on an interdigitated electrode sensor with various surface interfaces. To detect cTnI, a capture aptamer-conjugated gold nanoparticle probe and detection antibody probe were utilized and compared through an alternating sandwich pattern. The surface metal oxide morphology of the developed sensor was proven by microscopic assessments. The limit of detection with the aptamer-gold-cTnI-antibody sandwich pattern was 100 aM, while it was 1 fM with antibody-gold-cTnI-aptamer, representing 10-fold differences. Further, the high performance of the sensor was confirmed by selective cTnI determination in serum, exhibiting superior nonfouling. These methods of determination provide options for generating novel assays for diagnosing MI.

Abstract
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) is a highly infectious bacterium and the major cause of pneumonia, especially in school children. Mycoplasma pneumoniae affects the respiratory tract, and 25% of patients experience health-related problems. It is important to have a suitable method to detect M. pneumoniae, and gold nanoparticle (GNP)-based colorimetric biosensing was used in this study to identify the specific target DNA for M. pneumoniae. The color of GNPs changes due to negatively charged GNPs in the presence of positively charged monovalent (Na+ ) ions from NaCl. This condition is reversed in the presence of a single-stranded oligonucleotide, as it attracts GNPs, but not in the presence of double-stranded DNA. Single standard capture DNA was mixed with optimal target DNA that cannot be adsorbed by GNPs; under this condition, GNPs are not stabilized and aggregate at high ionic strength (from 100 mM). Without capture DNA, the GNPs were stabilized by capture DNA (from 1 μM), becoming more stable under high ionic conditions and retaining their red color. The GNPs turned blue in the presence of target DNA at concentrations of 1 pM, and the GNPs retained a red color when there was no target in the solution. This method is useful for the simple, easy, and accurate identification of M. pneumoniae target DNA at higher discrimination and without involving sophisticated equipment, and this method provides a diagnostic for M. pneumoniae.

Abstract
Glioma is a tumor in the brain and spinal cord originating in the glial cells that surround the nerve cells. Among several microRNAs reported, miRNA-363 is associated with human glioma. Based on miRNA-363 levels, the development and progression of glioma can be monitored. The current study used an interdigitated electrode sensor to monitor microRNA-363 levels, which indeed reflects the severity of glioma. The interdigitated electrode was generated using a photolithography technique followed by surface chemical modification carried out to insert miRNA-363 complementary oligo as the probe complexed with gold nanoparticles. The proposed sensor works based on the dipole moment between two electrodes, and when molecular immobilization or interaction occurs, the response by the signal output changes. The changes in the target microRNA-363 sequence were standardized to identify glioma. The limit of detection of miRNA-363 was 10 fM with an R2 value of 0.996 on the linear coefficient regression ranges between 1 fM and 100 pM. Furthermore, unrelated sequences failed to increase the response of the current with the complementary probe, indicating specific miRNA-363 detection on interdigitated electrode. This study demonstrates the platform to be used for determining the presence of microRNA-363 in glioma and as the basis for other biomarker analyses. This article is protected by copyright.

Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), a medical complication, occurs when the aortic area becomes swollen and very large. It is mandatory to identify AAA to avoid the breakdown of aneurysms. C-reactive protein (CRP) has been recognized as one of the biomarkers for identifying AAA due to the possibility of CRP produced in vascular tissue, which contributes to the formation of an aneurysm, and it is elevated in patients with a ruptured AAA. This research work was designed to develop an immunosensor on a multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-modified surface to quantify the CRP level. Anti-CRP specificity was constructed on the MWCNT surface through a silane linker to interact with CRP. The detection limit of CRP was calculated as 100 pM with an R2 (determination coefficient) value of 0.9855 (y = 2.3446x - 1.9922) on a linear regression graph. The dose-dependent linear pattern was registered from 200 to 3000 pM and attained the saturation level during binding at 3000 pM. Furthermore, serum-spiked CRP showed a clear increase in the current response, proving the specific recognition of CRP in biological samples. This designed biosensor identifies CRP at a lower level and can help diagnose AAA.

JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2022; 2022:8160502. [PMID: 35655788 PMCID: PMC9152415 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8160502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/28/2021] [Revised: 03/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
A carbon nanowire-modified surface with interdigitated electrode (IDE) sensing system was introduced to identify abdominal aortic aneurysm biomarker "papain," also known as cysteine protease, used as the capture probe to identify Cystatin C. Papain was immobilized through the covalent integration of amine group on papain and the carboxyl group with carbon nanowire. This papain-modified electrode surface was utilized to detect the different concentrations of Cystatin C (100 pg/mL to 3.2 ng/mL). The interaction between papain and Cystatin C was monitored using a picoammeter, and the response curves were compared. With increasing Cystatin C concentrations, the total current levels were gradually increased with a linear range from 200 pg/mL to 3.2 ng/mL, and the current differences were plotted and the detection limit of Cystatin C was calculated as 200 pg/mL. The averaging of three independent experiments (n = 3) was made with 3δ estimation, and the determination coefficient was y = 1.8477 × 0.7303 and R 2 = 0.9878. Furthermore, control experiments with creatinine and gliadin failed to bind the immobilized papain, indicating the specific detection of Cystatin C.

Abstract
Large bone loss injuries require high-performance scaffolds with an architecture and material composition resembling native bone. However, most bone scaffold studies focus on three-dimensional (3D) structures with simple rectangular or circular geometries and uniform pores, not able to recapitulate the geometric characteristics of the native tissue. This paper addresses this limitation by proposing novel anatomically designed scaffolds (bone bricks) with nonuniform pore dimensions (pore size gradients) designed based on new lay-dawn pattern strategies. The gradient design allows one to tailor the properties of the bricks and together with the incorporation of ceramic materials allows one to obtain structures with high mechanical properties (higher than reported in the literature for the same material composition) and improved biological characteristics.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing is gaining importance thanks to its multiple advantages. Stereolithography (SLA) shows the highest accuracy and the lowest anisotropy, which has facilitated the emergence of new applications as dentistry or tissue engineering. However, the availability of commercial photopolymers is still limited, and there is an increasing interest in developing resins with properties adapted for these new applications. The addition of graphene-based nanomaterials (GBN) may provide interesting advantages, such as improved mechanical properties and bioactivity. However, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the effect of GBNs on the polymerization reaction. A photopolymerizable acrylic resin has been used, and the effect of the addition of 0.1wt% of graphene (G); graphene oxide (GO) and graphite nanoplatelets (GoxNP) on printability and polymerization have been investigated. It was observed that the effect depended on GBN type, functionalization and structure (e.g., number of layers, size, and morphology) due to differences in the extent of dispersion and light absorbance. The obtained results showed that GO and GoxNP did not significantly affect the printability and quality of the final structure, whilst the application of G exhibited a negative effect in terms of printability due to a reduction in the polymerization degree. GO and GoxNP-loaded resins showed a great potential to be used for manufacturing structures by SLA.

Abstract
Bone regeneration-related graphene-based materials (bGBMs) are increasingly attracting attention in tissue engineering due to their special physical and chemical properties. The purpose of this review is to quantitatively analyze mass academic literature in the field of bGBMs through scientometrics software CiteSpace, to demonstrate the rules and trends of bGBMs, thus to analyze and summarize the mechanisms behind the rules, and to provide clues for future research. First, the research status, hotspots, and frontiers of bGBMs are analyzed in an intuitively and vividly visualized way. Next, the extracted important subjects such as fabrication techniques, cytotoxicity, biodegradability, and osteoinductivity of bGBMs are presented, and the different mechanisms, in turn, are also discussed. Finally, photothermal therapy, which is considered an emerging area of application of bGBMs, is also presented. Based on this approach, this work finds that different studies report differing opinions on the biological properties of bGBMS due to the lack of consistency of GBMs preparation. Therefore, it is necessary to establish more standards in fabrication, characterization, and testing for bGBMs to further promote scientific progress and clinical translation.

Abstract
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a glycoprotein, one of the common tumor biomarkers, found at low levels in body fluids. Generally, overexpression of CEA is found in various cancers, including ovarian, breast, lung, colorectal, gastric, and pancreatic cancers. Since CEA is an important tumor biomarker, the quantification of CEA is helpful for diagnosing cancer, monitoring tumor progression, and the follow-up treatment. This research develops a highly sensitive sandwich aptasensor for CEA identification on an interdigitated electrode sensor. Carbon-based material was used to attach a higher anti-CEA capture aptamer onto the sensor surface through a chemical linker, and then, CEA was quantified by the aptamer. Furthermore, CEA-spiked serum was tested by using the immobilized aptamer, which was found to not affect the target validation. The limit of detection for CEA in PBS and serum is calculated from a linear regression graph to be 0.5 ng/mL with R 2 values of 0.9593 and 0.9657, respectively, over a linear range from 0.5 to 500 ng/mL. This CEA quantification by the aptasensor can help diagnose various surgical tumors and monitor their progression.

Abstract
Osteoporosis, a bone disease is caused by the deterioration of bone and shows an enhanced risk of bone fracture and decreasing bone mineral density. Unfortunately, the available radiological techniques are expensive, and have disadvantages such as radiation intake, need a specialist to handle the instrument, and so forth. This research is focused to develop a point-of-care system to identify osteocalcin on current-volt sensor, which helps to diagnose the bone metabolism and prognostics. Antiosteocalcin antibody was attached on the electrode through the silane-modified iron material. The antibody-immobilized sensing surface was utilized to identify the level of osteocalcin and the detection limit of 100 pg/ml reached on linear concentrations of 0.01-3000 ng/ml. Calculations were made by triplicates (n = 3; 3δ) on the determination coefficient of y = 0.2637x-0.6012; R2 = 0.9319. Further, control proteins failed to bind with immobilized antibody, confirmed by the specific osteocalcin detection. This research is to identify the osteoporosis biomarker and to help determine the conditions with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Nanomaterial on the sensing area elevates the biomolecular immobilization by its right orientation with a proper alignment, and zeolite is one of the suitable materials. In this research, the zeolite nanoparticles were synthesized using rice hush ash as the basic source and the prepared zeolite by the addition of sodium silicate was utilized to attach antibody as a probe on a gap-fingered dielectrode surface to identify the colon cancer biomarker, "colon cancer-secreted protein-2" (CCSP-2). Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and Field Emission Transmission Electron Microscopy images confirmed the size of the nanoparticle to be ∼15 nm and the occurrence of silica and alumina. Zeolite was modified on the electrode surface through the amine linker, and then anti-CCSP-2 was attached by an aldehyde linker. On this surface, CCSP-2 was detected and attained the detection limit to be 3 nM on the linear regression curve with 3-5 nM of CCSP-2. Estimated by the determination coefficient of y = 2.3952x - 4.4869 and R2 = 9041 with 3δ (n = 3). In addition, control proteins did not produce the notable current response representing the specific sensing of CCSP-2. This research is suitable to identify CCSP-2 at a lower level in the bloodstream under the physiological condition of a colon cancer patient.

Abstract
Anesthesia-related drugs cause various side effects and health-related illnesses after surgery. In particular, neurogenerative disorder is a common problem of anesthesia-related drugs. A patient gets anesthesia as a requirement of the preoperative evaluation to diagnose the medical illness, which is caused by anesthetic drug treatment. Different blood-based biomarkers help in identifying the changes appearing in patients after anesthesia treatment. Among them, tau protein is a sensitive biomarker of neurodegenerative diseases, and the fluctuations in tau proteins are highly associated with various diseases. Furthermore, researchers have found unstable levels of tau protein after the anesthesia process. The current research has focused on quantifying tau protein via impedance spectroscopy to identify the problems caused by anesthesia-related drugs. An impedance spectroscopy electrode was modified into a multiwalled carbon nanotube, and an amine-ended aptamer was then attached. This electrode surface was used to quantify the tau protein level and reached the detection limit of 1 fM. The determination coefficient was found to be y = 369.93x + 1144.9, with R2 = 0.9846 in the linear range of 1 fM-1 nM. Furthermore, tau protein spiked human serum was clearly identified on the immobilized aptamer surface, indicating the specific detection.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is a commonly occurring bone malignancy, and it is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in adolescents and children. A sensitive silica nanoparticle (Si-NP) modified current-volt sensor was introduced to identify the osteopontin antigen, a well-known biomarker for osteosarcoma. Si-NP was extracted from the rice husk ash and utilized for the surface functionalization on the interdigitated microelectrode sensing surface. Extracted Si-NP has a spherical shape with uniform distribution, and it is confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy and field-emission transmission electron microscopy. Si-NP was layered on the electrode surface through a (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane amine linker, and the antibody was immobilized on Si-NP through a glutaraldehyde linker. Osteopontin was effectively detected on the antibody-attached surface, and the determination limit was 0.6 ng/mL. The regression was determined as y = 0.9366x - 1.1113 and the R2 value was 0.9331 and the detection limit of osteopontin was 0.6 ng/mL in the range between 0.3 and 5 ng/mL. In addition, control performance with nonimmune antibodies and albumin did not change the current volt, showing the specific osteopontin identification. This research work brings out the easy and cost-effective method to diagnose osteosarcoma and its etiology.

Abstract
Immobilization and detection of small molecules is one of the challenging tasks in any given sensing system as the dissociation equilibrium constant is higher. Generating a right immobilization system with small molecules is mandatory for developing the drug-discovery process and disease identification. Immobilizing smaller probes on the ELISA plate is challenging because of its less adsorption on the polystyrene (PS) substrate. This research work developed an iron nanomaterial-based linker to attach osteopontin-specific aptamer on PS substrate. Iron oxide nanoparticle was attached on PS plate through amine modification and then antibody was attached by COOH reaction. On the osteopontin-modified plate, osteosarcoma biomarker of osteopontin was identified by its specific antibody and aptamer sandwich with the detection limit of 1 nM. Further, biofouling experiments with other molecules, such as lysozyme, and complementary aptamer failed to show the ELISA adsorption signal, indicating the iron oxide nanoparticle-modified PS plate specifically recognizes osteopontin. This research work effectively identifies the lesser abundance of osteopontin and helps to diagnose the osteosarcoma-related problems.

Hou Y, Wang W, Bartolo P. A concise review on the role of selenium for bone cancer applications. Bone 2021; 149:115974. [PMID: 33901723 DOI: 10.1016/j.bone.2021.115974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Revised: 04/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Cancer is one of the most challenging health problems in the world. Several clinical treatments have been developed, but all presenting several limitations. Among different types of cancer, bone cancer is less common, and limited new clinical treatment strategies have been proposed. Recently, a range of advanced materials has been investigated and applied for bone cancer treatment applications. However, due to the unique physiological properties of the bone tissue (a load-bearing tissue), the selection of the right type of material or the combination of suitable functional materials and base materials are critical. Selenium has been reported to present specific targeting inhibition effects on bone cancer without affecting the surrounding healthy tissue, revealing a huge potential for the development of new bone cancer treatment strategies. This paper presents a concise review on the use of selenium for bone cancer applications, discussing main synthesis methods, biocompatibility, and cytotoxicity aspects and the combination of selenium with a wide range of ceramics, metals, and polymers. Future perspectives and the novel concept of a dual-functional scaffold for both cancer treatment and new bone regeneration are also discussed.

Experimental and Numerical Simulations of 3D-Printed Polycaprolactone Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering Applications. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14133546. [PMID: 34201996 PMCID: PMC8269492 DOI: 10.3390/ma14133546] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Ideal bone scaffolds for tissue engineering should be highly porous allowing cell attachment, spreading, and differentiation and presenting appropriate biomechanical properties. These antagonistic characteristics usually require extensive experimental work to achieve optimised balanced properties. This paper presents a simulation approach to determine the mechanical behaviour of bone scaffolds allowing the compressive modulus and the deformation mechanisms to be predicted. Polycaprolactone scaffolds with regular square pores and different porosities were considered. Scaffolds were also printed using an extrusion-based additive manufacturing and assessed under compressive loads. Similar designs were used for both simulation and fabrication steps. A good correlation between numerical and experimental results was obtained, highlighting the suitability of the simulation tool for the mechanical design of 3D-printed bone scaffolds.

Abstract
The use of electrically conductive materials to impart electrical properties to substrates for cell attachment proliferation and differentiation represents an important strategy in the field of tissue engineering. This paper discusses the concept of electro-active structures and their roles in tissue engineering, accelerating cell proliferation and differentiation, consequently leading to tissue regeneration. The most relevant carbon-based materials used to produce electro-active structures are presented, and their main advantages and limitations are discussed in detail. Particular emphasis is put on the electrically conductive property, material synthesis and their applications on tissue engineering. Different technologies, allowing the fabrication of two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures in a controlled way, are also presented. Finally, challenges for future research are highlighted. This review shows that electrical stimulation plays an important role in modulating the growth of different types of cells. As highlighted, carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene and carbon nanotubes, have great potential for fabricating electro-active structures due to their exceptional electrical and surface properties, opening new routes for more efficient tissue engineering approaches.
