Abstract
Secondary atrophic rhinitis (AR), a consequence of mucosal damage during nasal surgeries, significantly impairs patient quality of life. The lack of effective, lasting treatments underscores the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. A major impediment in advancing research is the scarcity of studies focused on secondary AR. Our study addresses this gap by developing an animal model that closely mirrors the histopathological changes observed in patients with secondary AR. These changes include squamous metaplasia, goblet cell hyperplasia, submucosal fibrosis, and glandular atrophy. Upon administering human nasal turbinate stem cells embedded in collagen type I hydrogel in these models, we observed ciliary regeneration. This finding suggests the potential therapeutic benefit of this approach. Our animal models not only emulate the clinical manifestations of secondary AR but also serve as valuable tools for evaluating the efficacy of cell-based biotechnological interventions.

Improvement of spatial learning and memory deficits by intranasal administration of human olfactory ecto-mesenchymal stem cells in an Alzheimer's disease rat model. Brain Res 2024; 1828:148764.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells therapy provides a new perspective of therapeutic approaches in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of intranasally transplanted human "olfactory ecto-mesenchymal stem cells" (OE-MSCs) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) rats. In this study, we isolated OE-MSCs from human olfactory lamina propria and phenotypically characterized them using immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. The undifferentiated OE-MSCs were transplanted either by intranasal (IN) or intrahippocampal (IH) injection to rat models of AD, which were induced by injecting amyloid-beta (Aβ) intrahippocampally. Behavioral, histological, and molecular assessments were performed after a three-month recovery period. Based on the results, intranasal administration of OE-MSCs significantly reduced Aβ accumulation and neuronal loss, improved learning and memory impairments, and increased levels of BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and NMDAR (N-methyl-D-Aspartate receptors) in the AD rat model. These changes were more significant in animals who received OE-MSCs by intranasal injection. The results of this study suggest that OE-MSCs have the potential to enhance cognitive function in AD, possibly mediated by BDNF and the NMDA receptors.

Abstract
The skin is subject to damage from the surrounding environment. The repair of skin wounds can be very challenging due to several factors such as severe injuries, concomitant infections, or comorbidities such as diabetes. Different drugs and wound dressings have been used to treat skin wounds. Tissue engineering, a novel therapeutic approach, revolutionized the treatment and regeneration of challenging tissue damage. This field includes the use of synthetic and natural biomaterials that support the growth of tissues or organs outside the body. Accordingly, the demand for polymer-based therapeutic strategies for skin tissue defects is significantly increasing. Among the various 3D scaffolds used in tissue engineering, hydrogel scaffolds have gained special significance due to their unique properties such as natural mimicry of the extracellular matrix (ECM), moisture retention, porosity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility properties. First, this article delineates the process of wound healing and conventional methods of treating wounds. It then presents an examination of the structure and manufacturing methods of hydrogels, followed by an analysis of their crucial characteristics in healing skin wounds and the most recent advancements in using hydrogel dressings for this purpose. Finally, it discusses the potential future advancements in hydrogel materials within the realm of wound healing.

Abstract
Despite several progressions in the biofabrication of large-scale engineered tissues, direct biopri nting of perfusable three-dimensional (3D) vasculature remained unaddressed. Developing a feasible method to generate cell-laden thick tissue with an effective vasculature network to deliver oxygen and nutrient is crucial for preventing the formation of necrotic spots and tissue death. In this study, we developed a novel technique to directly bioprint 3D cell-laden prevascularized construct. We developed a novel bioink by mixing decellularized human amniotic membrane (dHAM) and alginate (Alg) in various ratios. The bioink with encapsulated human vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and a crosslinker, CaCl2, were extruded via sheath and core nozzle respectively to directly bioprint a perfusable 3D vasculature construct. The various concentration of bioink was assessed from several aspects like biocompatibility, porosity, swelling, degradation, and mechanical characteristics, and accordingly, optimized concentration was selected (Alg 4 %w/v - dHAM 0.6 %w/v). Then, the crosslinked bioink without microchannel and the 3D bioprinted construct with various microchannel distances (0, 1.5 mm, 3 mm) were compared. The 3D bioprinted construct with a 1.5 mm microchannels distance demonstrated superiority owing to its 492 ± 18.8 % cell viability within 14 days, excellent tubulogenesis, remarkable expression of VEGFR-2 which play a crucial role in endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and more importantly angiogenesis, and neovascularization. This perfusable bioprinted construct also possess appropriate mechanical stability (32.35 ± 5 kPa Young's modulus) for soft tissue. Taking these advantages into the account, our new bioprinting method possesses a prominent potential for the fabrication of large-scale prevascularized tissue to serve for regenerative medicine applications like implantation, drug-screening platform, and the study of mutation disease.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells and macrophages (MQ) are two very important cells involved in the normal wound healing process. It is well understood that topological cues and mechanical factors can lead to different responses in stem cells and MQ by influencing their shape, cytoskeleton proliferation, migration, and differentiation, which play an essential role in the success or failure of biomaterial implantation and more importantly wound healing. On the other hand, the polarization of MQ from proinflammatory (M1) to prohealing (M2) phenotypes has a critical role in the acceleration of wound healing. In this study, the morphology of different MQ subtypes (M0, M1, and M2) was imprinted on a silicon surface (polydimethylsiloxane [PDMS]) to prepare a nano-topography cell-imprinted substrate with the ability to induce anti-inflammatory effects on the mouse adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) and RAW264.7 monocyte cell line (MO). The gene expression profiles and flow cytometry of MQ revealed that the cell shape microstructure promoted the MQ phenotypes according to the specific shape of each pattern. The ELISA results were in agreement with the gene expression profiles. The ADSCs on the patterned PDMS exhibited remarkably different shapes from no-patterned PDMS. The MOs grown on M2 morphological patterns showed a significant increase in expression and section of anti-inflammatory cytokine compared with M0 and M1 patterns. The ADSCs homing in niches heavily deformed the cytoskeletal, which is probably why the gene expression and phenotype unexpectedly changed. In conclusion, wound dressings with M2 cell morphology-induced surfaces are suggested as excellent anti-inflammatory and antiscarring dressings.

Abstract
Post-wound infections have remained a serious threat to society and healthcare worldwide. Attempts are still being made to develop an ideal antibacterial wound dressing with high wound-healing potential and strong antibacterial activity against extensively drug-resistant bacteria (XDR). In this study, a biological-based sponge was made from decellularized human placenta (DPS) and then loaded with different concentrations (0, 16 µg/mL, 32 µg/mL, 64 µg/mL) of an antimicrobial peptide (AMP, CM11) to optimize an ideal antibacterial wound dressing. The decellularization of DPS was confirmed by histological evaluations and DNA content assay. The DPS loaded with different contents of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) showed uniform morphology under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and cytobiocompatibility for human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Antibacterial assays indicated that the DPS/AMPs had antibacterial behavior against both standard strain and XDR Acinetobacter baumannii in a dose-dependent manner, as DPS loaded with 64 µg/mL showed the highest bacterial growth inhibition zone and elimination of bacteria under SEM than DPS alone and DPS loaded with 16 µg/mL and 32 µg/mL AMP concentrations. The subcutaneous implantation of all constructs in the animal model demonstrated no sign of acute immune system reaction and graft rejection, indicating in vivo biocompatibility of the scaffolds. Our findings suggest the DPS loaded with 64 µg/mL as an excellent antibacterial skin substitute, and now promises to proceed with pre-clinical and clinical investigations.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix (ECM)-based bioinks has attracted much attention in recent years for 3D printing of native-like tissue constructs. Due to organ unavailability, human placental ECM can be an alternative source for the construction of 3D print composite scaffolds for the treatment of deep wounds. In this study, we use different concentrations (1.5%, 3% and 5%w/v) of ECM derived from the placenta, sodium-alginate and gelatin to prepare a printable bioink biomimicking natural skin. The printed hydrogels' morphology, physical structure, mechanical behavior, biocompatibility, and angiogenic property are investigated. The optimized ECM (5%w/v) 3D printed scaffold is applied on full-thickness wounds created in a mouse model. Due to their unique native-like structure, the ECM-based scaffolds provide a non-cytotoxic microenvironment for cell adhesion, infiltration, angiogenesis, and proliferation. In contrast, they do not show any sign of immune response to the host. Notably, the biodegradation, swelling rate, mechanical property, cell adhesion and angiogenesis properties increase with the increase of ECM concentrations in the construct. The ECM 3D printed scaffold implanted into deep wounds increases granulation tissue formation, angiogenesis, and re-epithelialization due to the presence of ECM components in the construct, when compared with printed scaffold with no ECM and no treatment wound. Overall, our findings demonstrate that the 5% ECM 3D scaffold supports the best deep wound regeneration in vivo, produces a skin replacement with a cellular structure comparable to native skin.

Abstract
Large bone defect reconstruction undergoes hypoxia and remains a major practical challenge. Bone tissue engineering with a more promising stem cell source facilitates the development of better therapeutic outcomes. Human dental follicle stem cells (hDFSCs) with superior multipotency, osteogenic capacity, and accessibility have been proven a promising cell source for bone regeneration. We previously identified a novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), HOTAIRM1, to be highly expressed in hDFSCs. Here we found that HOTAIRM1 overexpressed hDFSCs promoted bone regeneration in rat critical-size calvarial defect model. Mechanically, HOTAIRM1 was induced in hDFSCs under hypoxic conditions and activated HIF-1α. RNA-sequencing analysis indicated that HOTAIRM1 upregulated oxygen-sensing histone demethylases KDM6A/B and suppressed methyltransferase EZH2 via targeting HIF-1α. The osteogenic differentiation of hDFSCs was accompanied with demethylation of H3K27, and HOTAIRM1 overexpression decreased the distribution of H3K27me3 in osteogenic genes, including ALP, M-CSF, Wnt-3a, Wnt-5a, Wnt-7a, and β-catenin, thus promoted their transcription. Our study provided evidence that HOTAIRM1 upregulated KDM6A/B and inhibited EZH2 in a HIF-1α dependent manner to enhance the osteogenesis of hDFSCs. HOTAIRM1-mediated hDFSCs may serve as a promising therapeutic approach to promote bone regeneration in clinical practice.

Alginate sulfate/ECM composite hydrogel containing electrospun nanofiber with encapsulated human adipose-derived stem cells for cartilage tissue engineering. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 238:124098. [PMID: 36948341 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/24/2023]
Abstract
Stem cell therapy is a promising strategy for cartilage tissue engineering, and cell transplantation using polymeric scaffolds has recently gained attention. Herein, we encapsulated human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) within the alginate sulfate hydrogel and then added them to polycaprolactone/gelatin electrospun nanofibers and extracellular matrix (ECM) powders to mimic the cartilage structure and characteristic. The composite hydrogel scaffolds were developed to evaluate the relevant factors and conditions in mechanical properties, cell proliferation, and differentiation to enhance cartilage regeneration. For this purpose, different concentrations (1-5 % w/v) of ECM powder were initially loaded within an alginate sulfate solution to optimize the best composition for encapsulated hASCs viability. Adding 4 % w/v of ECM resulted in optimal mechanical and rheological properties and better cell viability. In the next step, electrospun nanofibrous layers were added to the alginate sulfate/ECM composite to prepare different layered hydrogel-nanofiber (2, 3, and 5-layer) structures with the ability to mimic the cartilage structure and function. The 3-layer structure was selected as the optimum layered composite scaffold, considering cell viability, mechanical properties, swelling, and biodegradation behavior; moreover, the chondrogenesis potential was assessed, and the results showed promising features for cartilage tissue engineering application.

Synergetic dual antibiotics-loaded chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) nanofibers with sustained antibacterial delivery for treatment of XDR bacteria-infected wounds. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 229:22-34. [PMID: 36460249 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.11.288] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
Resistance of bacterial pathogens to conventional antibiotics has remained a significant challenge in managing post-wound infections, especially in developing countries. Here, a nanofibrous chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) (CS/PVA) mat was designed for controlled delivery of three different concentrations of two antibiotics (colistin/meropenem ratio of 32/64 μg/ml (AB1), 64/128 μg/ml (AB2), and 128/256 (AB3) μg/ml) with synergistic antibacterial activity against ATCC and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates. The scaffolds showed a uniform fibrous structure with no bead formation with a sustained release of the antibiotics for one week. The elongation at break, wettability, porosity, and average fiber diameter decreased with increased antibiotics concentrations. Young's modulus and tensile strength showed a significant increase after adding antibiotics. All the constructs showed excellent in vitro cytocompatibility for fibroblasts and biocompatibility in an animal model. The antibacterial assays confirmed the dose-dependent antibacterial activity of the CS/PVA. The scaffolds loaded with AB2 and AB3 showed biocidal properties against ATCC, while only CS/PVA/AB3 had antibacterial activity against XDR clinical isolates. This study suggests the CS/PVA/AB3 nanofibrous scaffold contained 128/256 μg/ml colistin/meropenem as an excellent antibacterial wound dressing for protection of skin wounds from XDR clinical isolates and now promises to proceed with pre-clinical investigations.

Abstract
Attempts are being made to develop an ideal wound dressing with excellent biomechanical and biological properties. Here, a thermos-responsive hydrogel is fabricated using chitosan (CTS) with various concentrations (1%, 2.5%, and 5% w/v) of solubilized placental extracellular matrix (ECM) and 20% β-glycerophosphate to optimize a smart wound dressing hydrogel with improved biological behavior. The thermo-responsive CTS (TCTS) alone or loaded with ECMs (ECM-TCTS) demonstrate uniform morphology using SEM. TCTS and ECM1%-TCTS and ECM2.5%-TCTS show a gelation time of 5 min at 37 °C, while no gel formation is observed at 4 and 25 °C. ECM5%-TCTS forms gel at both 25 and 37 °C. The degradation and swelling ratios increase as the ECM content of the hydrogel increase. All the constructs show excellent biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo, however, the hydrogels with a higher concentration of ECM demonstrate better cell adhesion for fibroblast cells and induce expression of angiogenic factors (VEGF and VEGFR) from HUVEC. Only the ECM5%-TCTS has antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606. The data obtained from the current study suggest the ECM2.5%-TCTS as an optimized smart biomimetic wound dressing with improved angiogenic properties now promises to proceed with pre-clinical and clinical investigations.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis and a degenerative joint cartilage disease that is the most common cause of disability in the world among the elderly. It leads to social, psychological, and economic costs with financial consequences. The principles of OA treatment are to reduce pain and stiffness as well as maintain function. In recent years, due to a better understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of OA, a number of potential therapeutic advances have been made, which include tissue engineering, immune system manipulation, surgical technique, pharmacological, and non-pharmacological treatments. Despite this, there is still no certain cure for OA, and different OA treatments are usually considered in relation to the stage of the disease. The purpose of the present review is to summarize and discuss the latest results of new treatments for OA and potential targets for future research.

Abstract
Millions of people die annually due to uncured wound infections. Healthcare systems incur high costs to treat wound infections. Tt is predicted to become more challenging due to the rise of multidrug-resistant conditions. During the last decades, smart antibacterial hydrogels could attract attention as a promising solution, especially for skin wound infections. These antibacterial hydrogels are termed 'smart' due to their response to specific physical and chemical environmental stimuli. To deliver different drugs to particular sites in a controlled manner, various types of crosslinking strategies are used in the manufacturing process. Smart hydrogels are designed to provide antimicrobial agents to the infected sites or are built from polymers with inherent disinfectant properties. This paper aims to critically review recent pre-clinical and clinical advances in using smart hydrogels against skin wound infections and propose the next best thing for future trends. For this purpose, an introduction to skin wound healing and disease is presented and intelligent hydrogels responding to different stimuli are introduced. Finally, the most promising investigations are discussed in their related sections. These studies can pave the way for producing new biomaterials with clinical applications.

Abstract
Lyme disease is a tick-borne disease prevalent in North America, Europe, and Asia. Despite the accumulated knowledge from epidemiological, in vitro, and in animal studies, the understanding of dissemination of vector-borne pathogens, such as Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), remains incomplete with several important knowledge gaps, especially related to invasion and intravasation into circulation. To elucidate the mechanistic details of these processes a tissue-engineered human dermal microvessel model is developed. Fluorescently labeled Bb are injected into the extracellular matrix (ECM) to mimic tick inoculation. High resolution, confocal imaging is performed to visualize the sub-acute phase of infection. From analysis of migration paths no evidence to support adhesin-mediated interactions between Bb and ECM components is found, suggesting that collagen fibers serve as inert obstacles to migration. Intravasation occurs at cell-cell junctions and is relatively fast, consistent with Bb swimming in ECM. In addition, it is found that Bb alone can induce endothelium activation, resulting in increased immune cell adhesion but no changes in global or local permeability. Together these results provide new insight into the minimum requirements for Bb dissemination and highlight how tissue-engineered models are complementary to animal models in visualizing dynamic processes associated with vector-borne pathogens.

Abstract
Due to its responsiveness to the tumour microenvironment (TME), chemodynamic therapy (CDT) based on the Fenton reaction to produce cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) to destroy tumor has drawn more interest. However, the Fenton's reaction potential for therapeutic use is constrained by its modest efficacy. Here, we develop a novel injectable hydrogel system (FMH) on the basis of FeGA/MoS2 dual quantum dots (QDs), which uses near-infrared (NIR) laser in order to trigger the synergistic catalysis and photothermal effect of FeGA/MoS2 for improving the efficiency of the Fenton reaction. Mo4+ in MoS2 QDs can accelerate the conversion of Fe3+ to Fe2+, thereby promoting the efficiency of Fenton reaction, and benefiting from the synergistically enhanced CDT/PTT, FMH combined with NIR has achieved good anti-tumour effects in vitro and in vivo experiments. Furthermore, the quantum dots are easily metabolized after treatment because of their ultrasmall size, without causing any side effects. This is the first report to study the co-catalytic effect of MoS2 and Fe3+ at the quantum dot level, as well as obtain a good PTT/CDT synergy, which have implications for future anticancer research.

Abstract
The use of 3D in vitro tumor models has become a common trend in cancer biology studies as well as drug screening and preclinical testing of drug candidates. The transition from 2D to 3D matrix-based cell cultures requires modification of methods for assessing tumor growth. We propose the method for assessing the growth of tumor cells in a collagen hydrogel using macro-scale registration and quantification of the gel epi-fluorescence. The technique does not require gel destruction, can be used for real-time observation of fast (in seconds) cellular responses and demonstrates high agreement with cell counting approaches or measuring total DNA content. The potency of the method was proven in experiments aimed at testing cytotoxic activity of chemotherapeutic drug (cisplatin) and recombinant targeted toxin (DARPin-LoPE) against two different tumor cell lines genetically labelled with fluorescent proteins. Moreover, using fluorescent proteins with sensor properties allows registration of dynamic changes in cells’ metabolism, which was shown for the case of sensor of caspase 3 activity.

Abstract
Simple Summary Bone tissue engineering has recently been considered as a potential alternative approach to treating patients with bone disorders/defects caused by tumors, trauma, and infection. Scaffolds play a crucial role in the field because they can serve as a template that can provide optimal structural and functional support for cells. In this study, we prepared a series of electrospun silk fibroin/kappa-carrageenan nanofibrous membranes with the aim of mimicking bone extracellular matrix structure and composition and improving the biological properties of silk-fibroin-based nanofibers. Our research found that a combinational approach blending kappa-carrageenan and silk fibroin could enhance the biological properties of the nanostructured scaffold. kappa-carrageenan could also enhance the osteogenic potential and bioactivity properties of silk fibroin nanofibers, while genipin crosslinking preserved the mechanical strength of hybrid nanofibrous mats, indicating that the electrospun hybrid scaffolds could be a potential candidate for bone regeneration applications. Abstract In this study, a novel nanofibrous hybrid scaffold based on silk fibroin (SF) and different weight ratios of kappa-carrageenan (k-CG) (1, 3, and 5 mg of k-CG in 1 mL of 12 wt% SF solution) was prepared using electrospinning and genipin (GP) as a crosslinker. The presence of k-CG in SF nanofibers was analyzed and confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). In addition, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed that GP could cause SF conformation to shift from random coils or α-helices to β-sheets and thereby facilitate a more crystalline and stable structure. The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and Young’s modulus of the SF mats were enhanced after crosslinking with GP from 3.91 ± 0.2 MPa to 8.50 ± 0.3 MPa and from 9.17 ± 0.3 MPa to 31.2 ± 1.2 MP, respectively. Notably, while the mean fiber diameter, wettability, and biodegradation rate of the SF nanofibers increased with increasing k-CG content, a decreasing effect was determined in terms of UTS and Young’s modulus. Additionally, better cell viability and proliferation were observed on hybrid scaffolds with the highest k-CG content. Osteogenic differentiation was determined from alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity and Alizarin Red staining and expression of osteogenic marker genes. To this end, we noticed that k-CG enhanced ALP activity, calcium deposition, and expression of osteogenic genes on the hybrid scaffolds. Overall, hybridization of SF and k-CG can introduce a promising scaffold for bone regeneration; however, more biological evaluations are required.

Abstract
3D tissue models recapitulating human physiology are important for fundamental biomedical research, and they hold promise to become a new tool in drug development. An integrated and defined microvasculature in 3D tissue models is necessary for optimal cell functions. However, conventional bioprinting only allows the fabrication of hydrogel scaffolds containing vessel-like structures with large diameters (>100 µm) and simple geometries. Recent developments in laser photoablation enable the generation of this type of structure with higher resolution and complexity, but the photo-thermal process can compromise cell viability and hydrogel integrity. To address these limitations, the present work reports in situ 3D patterning of collagen hydrogels by femtosecond laser irradiation to create channels and cavities with diameters ranging from 20 to 60 µm. In this process, laser irradiation of the hydrogel generates cavitation gas bubbles that rearrange the collagen fibers, thereby creating stable microchannels. Such 3D channels can be formed in cell- and organoid-laden hydrogel without affecting the viability outside the lumen and can enable the formation of artificial microvasculature by the culture of endothelial cells and cell media perfusion. Thus, this method enables organs-on-a-chip and 3D tissue models featuring complex microvasculature.

Abstract
The successful design of a hydrogel for tissue engineering requires a profound understanding of its constituents' structural and molecular properties, as well as the proper selection of components. If the engineered processes are in line with the procedures that natural materials undergo to achieve the best network structure necessary for the formation of the hydrogel with desired properties, the failure rate of tissue engineering projects will be significantly reduced. In this review, we examine the behavior of proteins as an essential and effective component of hydrogels, and describe the factors that can enhance the protein-based hydrogels' structure. Furthermore, we outline the fabrication route of protein-based hydrogels from protein microstructure and the selection of appropriate materials according to recent research to growth factors, crucial members of the protein family, and their delivery approaches. Finally, the unmet needs and current challenges in developing the ideal biomaterials for protein-based hydrogels are discussed, and emerging strategies in this area are highlighted.

Abstract
The reconstruction of chronic skin wounds remains a public health challenge in dermatology. Precisely controlling and monitoring the wound-healing process should result in enhanced outcomes for the patient. Cell-based therapies have shown great potential in medicine due to their immunomodulatory and healing properties. Herein, we produced activated macrophages by treating circulating monocytes with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) supernatant. We also demonstrated the critical role of activated macrophages transplantation using amniotic membranes in accelerating wound healing in an animal wound model. The activated macrophages not only exhibited immunomodulatory cytokines like transforming growth factorβ (TGFβ) and interleukin 10 (and IL10) secretion but also showed attachment and proliferation ability on the amniotic membrane scaffold. Moreover, MSCs supernatant-treated cells also displayed significant ARG1, CD206, and IL 10 genes expression. Inspired by the in vitro results, we examined the in vivo therapeutic efficacy of the activated macrophage transplantation using an acellular amniotic membrane carrier in a full-thickness cutaneous wound model. The wound healing rate was significant in the group treated with macrophages generated via mesenchymal cell therapy seeded human amniotic membrane. There was less scarring in the wound sites after placing cell-scaffold constructs in the wound sites in the animal models. Overall, macrophages stimulated with mesenchymal cells' supernatant exhibited improved healing processes in incisional wounds by decreasing the inflammatory phase, increasing angiogenesis, and reducing scar tissue development.

An additive manufacturing-based 3D printed poly ɛ-caprolactone/alginate sulfate/extracellular matrix construct for nasal cartilage regeneration. J Biomed Mater Res A 2022; 110:1199-1209. [PMID: 35098649 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2021] [Revised: 12/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/10/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
Various composite scaffolds with different fabrication techniques have been applied in cartilage tissue engineering. In this study, poly ɛ-caprolactone (PCL) was printed by fused deposition modeling method, and the prepared scaffold was filled with Alginate (Alg): Alginate-Sulfate (Alg-Sul) hydrogel to provide a better biomimetic environment and emulate the structure of glycosaminoglycans properly. Furthermore, to enhance chondrogenesis, different concentrations of decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) were added to the hydrogel. For cellular analyses, the adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were seeded on the hydrogel and the results of MTT assay, live/dead staining, and SEM images revealed that the scaffold with 1% dECM had better viscosity, cell viability, and proliferation. The study was conducted on the optimized scaffold (1% dECM) to determine mechanical characteristics, chondrogenic differentiation, and results demonstrated that the scaffold showed mechanical similarity to the native nasal cartilage tissue along with possessing appropriate biochemical features, which makes this new formulation based on PCL/dECM/Alg:Alg-Sul a promising candidate for further in-vivo studies.

Protective and pathological roles of regulatory immune cells in human cytomegalovirus infection following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Rev Med Virol 2021; 32:e2319.

Abstract
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is ubiquitously prevalent. Immune system in healthy individuals is capable of controlling HCMV infection; however, HCMV can be life-threatening for immunocompromised individuals, such as transplant recipients. Both innate and adaptive immune systems are critically involved in the HCMV infection. Recent studies have indicated that regulatory immune cells which play essential roles in maintaining a healthy immune environment are closely related to immune response in HCMV infection. However, the exact role of regulatory immune cells in immune regulation and homoeostasis during the battle between HCMV and host still requires further research. In this review, we highlight the protective and pathological roles of regulatory immune cells in HCMV infection following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
