Abstract
Efficient cellular alignment in biomaterials presents a considerable challenge, demanding the refinement of appropriate material morphologies, while ensuring effective cell-surface interactions. To address this, biomaterials are continuously researched with diverse coatings, hydrogels, and polymeric surfaces. In this context, we investigate the influence of physicochemical parameters on the architecture of fibrillar hydrogels that significantly orient the topography of flexible hydrogel substrates, thereby fostering cellular adhesion and spatial organization. Our Review comprehensively assesses various techniques for aligning polymer fibrils within hydrogels, specifically interventions applied during and after the cross-linking process. These methodologies include mechanical strains, precise temperature modulation, controlled fluidic dynamics, and chemical modulators, as well as the use of magnetic and electric fields. We highlight the intrinsic appeal of these methodologies in fabricating cell-aligning interfaces and discuss their potential implications within the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering, particularly concerning the pursuit of optimal cellular alignment.

Abstract
Clinical biophysical stimulating strategies, which have significant effects on improving the function of organs or treating diseases by causing the salutary response of body, have shown many advantages, such as non-invasiveness, few side effects, and controllable treatment process. As a critical technique for stimulation, the low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been explored in regulating osteogenesis, which has presented great promise in bone repair by delivering a combined effect with biomaterials. This review summarizes the musculoskeletal biomaterials that can be synergized with LIPUS for enhanced biomedical application, including bone regeneration, spinal fusion, osteonecrosis/osteolysis, cartilage repair, and nerve regeneration. Different types of biomaterials are categorized for summary and evaluation. In each subtype, the verified biological mechanisms are listed in a table or graphs to prove how LIPUS was effective in improving musculoskeletal tissue regeneration. Meanwhile, the acoustic excitation parameters of LIPUS that were promising to be effective for further musculoskeletal tissue engineering are discussed, as well as their limitations and some perspectives for future research. Overall, coupled with biomimetic scaffolds and platforms, LIPUS may be a powerful therapeutic approach to accelerate musculoskeletal tissue repair and even in other regenerative medicine applications.

A Collagen Basketweave from the Giant Squid Mantle as a Robust Scaffold for Tissue Engineering. Mar Drugs 2021; 19:679. [PMID: 34940678 PMCID: PMC8706038 DOI: 10.3390/md19120679] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The growing applications of tissue engineering technologies warrant the search and development of biocompatible materials with an appropriate strength and elastic moduli. Here, we have extensively studied a collagenous membrane (GSCM) separated from the mantle of the Giant squid Dosidicus Gigas in order to test its potential applicability in regenerative medicine. To establish the composition and structure of the studied material, we analyzed the GSCM by a variety of techniques, including amino acid analysis, SDS-PAGE, and FTIR. It has been shown that collagen is a main component of the GSCM. The morphology study by different microscopic techniques from nano- to microscale revealed a peculiar packing of collagen fibers forming laminae oriented at 60-90 degrees in respect to each other, which, in turn, formed layers with the thickness of several microns (a basketweave motif). The macro- and micromechanical studies showed high values of the Young's modulus and tensile strength. No significant cytotoxicity of the studied material was found by the cytotoxicity assay. Thus, the GSCM consists of a reinforced collagen network, has high mechanical characteristics, and is non-toxic, which makes it a good candidate for the creation of a scaffold material for tissue engineering.
