Abstract
Rapid advancements in nanotechnology have expanded its applications and synergistic impact on modern nanosystems. The comprehensive assessment of nanomaterials' safety for human exposure has become crucial and heightened. In addition to the characterization of cell proliferation and apoptosis, probing the implication of autophagy is vital for understanding the ramification of nanomaterials. Hence, HEK-293 kidney cells were employed to understand the changes in induction and perturbation of autophagy in cells by iron oxide (Fe3O4) and silica (SiO2) nanoparticles. Interestingly, Fe3O4 worked as a potent modulator of the autophagy process through its catalytic performance, which can develop better than that of SiO2 nanoparticles mechanism, stressing their therapeutic implication in the understanding of cell behaviors. The quantification of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured along with the process of autophagy during cell growth. This modulated autophagy will help in cell fate determination in complementary therapy for disease treatment, provide a clinical strategy for future study.

Abstract
A non-laborious process for the fabrication of silver and magnesium dual doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (Ag/Mg-ZnO NP) is described. The wurtzite ZnO nano-structures and the dual doped NP were analyzed by PXRD. SEM data showed the hexagonal morphology of our product, while the gathered anti-bacterial outcomes towards Streptococcus mutans bacteria through micro-dilution technic affirmed the enhanced performance of doped NP compared to the native ones. Furthermore, we gauged the toxic impacts of synthesized pure and Ag/Mg-ZnO NP against a breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cell line through an MTT trial, which highlighted the superiority of the doped when compared to the native nanoparticles. In light of these comparisons, the applicability of Ag/Mg-ZnO NP in dental and medical science is proposed.

Abstract
Among non-communicable diseases, cardiovascular diseases are the most prevalent, accounting for approximately 17 million deaths per year. Despite conventional treatment, cardiac tissue engineering emerges as a potential alternative for the advancement and treatment of these patients, using biomaterials to replace or repair cardiac tissues. Among these materials, gelatin in its methacrylated form (GelMA) is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer with adjustable biophysical properties. Furthermore, gelatin has the ability to replace and perform collagen-like functions for cell development in vitro. The interest in using GelMA hydrogels combined with nanomaterials is increasingly growing to promote the responsiveness to external stimuli and improve certain properties of these hydrogels by exploring the incorporation of nanomaterials into these hydrogels to serve as electrical signaling conductive elements. This review highlights the applications of electrically conductive nanomaterials associated with GelMA hydrogels for the development of structures for cardiac tissue engineering, by focusing on studies that report the combination of GelMA with nanomaterials, such as gold and carbon derivatives (carbon nanotubes and graphene), in addition to the possibility of applying these materials in 3D tissue engineering, developing new possibilities for cardiac studies.

Abstract
We report the use of acid-diffusion to assemble core-shell supramolecular gel beads with different low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs) in the core and shell. These gel beads grow a shell of dibenzylidenesorbitol-based DBS-COOH onto a core comprising DBS-CONHNH2 and agarose that has been loaded with acetic acid. Diffusion of the acid from the core triggers shell assembly. The presence of DBS-CONHNH2 enables the gel core to be loaded with metal nanoparticles (NPs) as acyl hydrazide reduces metal salts in situ. The pH-responsiveness of DBS-COOH allows responsive assembly of the shell with both temporal and spatial control. By fixing multiple gel beads in a Petri dish, the cores become linked to one another by the assembled DBS-COOH gel shell─a process we describe as diffusion-adhesion assembly. By controlling the geometry of the beads with respect to one another, it is possible to pattern the structures, and using a layer-by-layer approach, 3D objects can be fabricated. If some of the beads are loaded with basic DBS-carboxylate instead of CH3COOH, they act as a "sink" for diffusing protons, preventing DBS-COOH shell assembly in the close proximity. Those beads do not adhere to the remainder of the growing gel object and can be simply removed once diffusion-assembly is complete, acting as templates, and enabling the fabrication of 3D "imprinted" multigel architectures. Preloading the gel beads with AuNPs or AgNPs suspends these functional units within the cores at precisely defined locations within a wider gel object. In summary, this approach enables the dynamic fabrication of shaped and patterned gels with embedded metal NPs─such objects have potential next-generation applications in areas including soft nanoelectronics and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have a high tropism for the hypoxic microenvironment of tumors. The combination of nanoparticles in MSCs decreases tumor growth in vitro as well as in rodent models of cancers in vivo. Covalent conjugation of nanoparticles with the surface of MSCs can significantly increase the drug load delivery in tumor sites. Nanoparticle-based anti-angiogenic systems (gold, silica and silicates, diamond, silver, and copper) prevented tumor growth in vitro. For example, glycolic acid polyconjugates enhance nanoparticle drug delivery and have been reported in human MSCs. Labeling with fluorescent particles (coumarin-6 dye) identified tumor cells using fluorescence emission in tissues; the conjugation of different types of nanoparticles in MSCs ensured success and feasibility by tracking the migration and its intratumor detection using non-invasive imaging techniques. However, the biosafety and efficacy; long-term stability of nanoparticles, and the capacity for drug release must be improved for clinical implementation. In fact, MSCs are vehicles for drug delivery with nanoparticles and also show low toxicity but inefficient accumulation in tumor sites by clearance of reticuloendothelial organs. To solve these problems, the internalization or conjugation of drug-loaded nanoparticles should be improved in MSCs. Finally, CXCR4 may prove to be a promising target for immunotherapy and cancer treatment since the delivery of siRNA to knock down this alpha chemokine receptor or CXCR4 antagonism has been shown to disrupt tumor-stromal interactions.

Abstract
Purpose Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumor in women, which most often originates from the epithelial tissue of the breast gland. One of the most recommended kinds of treatment is radiotherapy (RT), but irradiation (IR) can affect not only the cancer tumor but also the healthy tissue around it. Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) were proposed as a radiosensitizing agent for RT which would allow for lower radiation doses, reducing the negative radiation effects on healthy tissues. The main objective of the study is to assess the dependence on the radiosensitivity of BC (MDA-MB-231) and normal mammary gland epithelial cells (MCF12A) to ionizing radiation, caused by functionalized AuNPs under diverse conditions. Methods The viability, uptake, reactive oxygen species induction, and mitochondrial membrane potential in cells were analyzed applying a time and concentration-dependent manner. After different incubation times with AuNPs, cells were exposed to 2 Gy. The determination of radiation effect in combination with AuNPs was investigated using the clonogenic assay, p53, and γH2AX level, as well as, Annexin V staining. Results Our results highlighted the strong need for assessing the experimental conditions' optimization before the AuNPs will be implemented with IR. Moreover, results indicated that AuNPs did not act universally in cells. Conclusion AuNPs could be a promising tool as a radiotherapy sensitizing agent, but it should be specified and deeply investigated under what conditions it will be applied taking into consideration not only AuNPs modifications but also the model and experimental conditions.

Abstract
The use of stem cells in regenerative medicine had great potential for clinical applications. However, cell delivery strategies have critical importance in stimulating the differentiation of stem cells and enhancing their potential to regenerate damaged tissues. Different strategies have been used to investigate the osteogenic potential of dental stem cells in conjunction with biomaterials through in vitro and in vivo studies. Osteogenesis has a broad implication in regenerative medicine, particularly for maxillofacial defects. This review summarizes some of the most recent developments in the field of tissue engineering using dental stem cells.

Abstract
Some metal nanoparticles (NP) are characterized by antimicrobial properties with the potential to be used as alternative antibiotics. However, NP may negatively impact human organism, including mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), a cell population contributing to tissue growth and regeneration. To address these issues, we investigated the toxic effects of selected NP (Ag, ZnO, and CuO) in mouse MSC. MSC were treated with various doses of NP for 4 h, 24 h, and 48 h and multiple endpoints were analyzed. Reactive oxygen species were generated after 48 h CuO NP exposure. Lipid peroxidation was induced after 4 h and 24 h treatment, regardless of NP and/or tested dose. DNA fragmentation and oxidation induced by Ag NP showed dose responses for all the periods. For other NP, the effects were observed for shorter exposure times. The impact on the frequency of micronuclei was weak. All the tested NP increased the sensitivity of MSC to apoptosis. The cell cycle was most affected after 24 h, particularly for Ag NP treatment. In summary, the tested NP induced numerous adverse changes in MSC. These results should be taken into consideration when planning the use of NP in medical applications where MSC are involved.

The Impact of Metal Nanoparticles on the Immunoregulatory and Therapeutic Properties of Mesenchymal Stem Cells. Stem Cell Rev Rep 2023:10.1007/s12015-022-10500-2.

Abstract
Negative impacts of nanomaterials on stem cells and cells of the immune system are one of the main causes of an impaired or slowed tissue healing. Therefore, we tested effects of four selected types of metal nanoparticles (NPs): zinc oxide (ZnO), copper oxide (CuO), silver (Ag), and titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the metabolic activity and secretory potential of mouse mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and on the ability of MSCs to stimulate production of cytokines and growth factors by macrophages. Individual types of nanoparticles differed in the ability to inhibit metabolic activity, and significantly decreased the production of cytokines and growth factors (interleukin-6, vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-1) by MSCs, with the strongest inhibitory effect of CuO NPs and the least effect of TiO2 NPs. The recent studies indicate that immunomodulatory and therapeutic effects of transplanted MSCs are mediated by macrophages engulfing apoptotic MSCs. We co-cultivated macrophages with heat-inactivated MSCs which were untreated or were preincubated with the highest nontoxic concentrations of metal NPs, and the secretory activity of macrophages was determined. Macrophages cultivated in the presence of both untreated MSCs or MSCs preincubated with NPs produced significantly enhanced and comparable levels of various cytokines and growth factors. These results suggest that metal nanoparticles inhibit therapeutic properties of MSCs by a direct negative effect on their secretory activity, but MSCs cultivated in the presence of metal NPs have preserved the ability to stimulate cytokine and growth factor production by macrophages.

[PMID: 36809518 PMCID: PMC9944598 DOI: 10.1007/s10856-023-06711-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Accepted: 01/15/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
Since the CNS is unable to repair itself via neuronal regeneration in adult mammals, alternative therapies need to be found. The use of cerium oxide nanoparticles to repair nerve damage could be a promising approach for spinal cord reconstruction. In this study, we constructed a scaffold containing cerium oxide nanoparticles (Scaffold-CeO2) and investigated the rate of nerve cell regeneration in a rat model of spinal cord injury. The scaffold of gelatin and polycaprolactone was synthesized, and a gelatin solution containing cerium oxide nanoparticles was attached to the scaffold. For the animal study, 40 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 10): (a) Control; (b) Spinal cord injury (SCI); (c) Scaffold (SCI + scaffold without CeO2 nanoparticles); (d) Scaffold-CeO2 (SCI + scaffold containing CeO2 nanoparticles). After creation of a hemisection SCI, scaffolds were placed at the site of injury in groups c and d, and after 7 weeks the rats were subjected to behavioral tests and then sacrificed for preparation of the spinal cord tissue to measure the expression of G-CSF, Tau and Mag proteins by Western blotting and Iba-1 protein by immunohistochemistry. The result of behavioral tests confirmed motor improvement and pain reduction in the Scaffold-CeO2 group compared to the SCI group. Decreased expression of Iba-1 and higher expression of Tau and Mag in the Scaffold-CeO2 group compared to the SCI group could be the result of nerve regeneration caused by the scaffold containing CeONPs as well as relief of pain symptoms.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-labeling of cells has been applied for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) cell tracking for over 30 years, having resulted in a dozen or so clinical trials. SPIO nanoparticles are biodegradable and can be broken down into elemental iron, and hence the tolerance of cells to magnetic labeling has been overall high. Over the years, however, single reports have accumulated demonstrating that the proliferation, migration, adhesion and differentiation of magnetically labeled cells may differ from unlabeled cells, with inhibition of chondrocytic differentiation of labeled human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) as a notable example. This historical perspective provides an overview of some of the drawbacks that can be encountered with magnetic labeling. Now that magnetic particle imaging (MPI) cell tracking is emerging as a new in vivo cellular imaging modality, there has been a renaissance in the formulation of SPIO nanoparticles this time optimized for MPI. Lessons learned from the occasional past pitfalls encountered with SPIO-labeling of cells for MRI may expedite possible future clinical translation of (combined) MRI/MPI cell tracking.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have demonstrated a wide range of applications and recently, novel biomedical studies are devoted to improving the functionality and effectivity of traditional and unmodified systems, either drug carriers and common scaffolds for tissue engineering or advanced hydrogels for wound healing purposes. In this regard, metal oxide nanoparticles show great potential as versatile tools in biomedical science. In particular, iron oxide nanoparticles with different shape and sizes hold outstanding physiochemical characteristics, such as high specific area and porous structure that make them idoneous nanomaterials to be used in diverse aspects of medicine and biological systems. Moreover, due to the high thermal stability and mechanical strength of Fe2O3, they have been combined with several polymers and employed for various nano-treatments for specific human diseases. This review is focused on summarizing the applications of Fe2O3-based nanocomposites in the biomedical field, including nanocarriers for drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing. Additionally, their structure, magnetic properties, biocompatibility, and toxicity will be discussed.

Abstract
Nanotechnology advancements and applications have paved the way for new possibilities in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. It is a relatively new field that has the potential to improve stem cell differentiation and therapy greatly. Numerous studies have demonstrated that nanomaterials can function as a physiological niche for the formation and differentiation of stem cells. However, quantum dots (QDs), such as carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and graphene quantum dots (GQDs), have shown considerable promise in the field of regenerative medicine. To date, most research has focused on stem cell tracking and imaging using CQDs. However, their interaction with stem cells and the associated possibility for differentiation by selectively focusing chemical signals to a particular lineage has received scant attention. In this mini-review, we attempt to categorize a few pathways linked with the role of CQDs in stem cell differentiation.

Abstract
Drosophila models of neurological disease contribute tremendously to research progress due to the high conservation of human disease genes, the powerful and sophisticated genetic toolkit, and the rapid generation time. Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most prevalent heritable cause of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorders, and the Drosophila FXS disease model has been critical for the genetic screening discovery of new intercellular secretion mechanisms. Here, we focus on the roles of three major signaling pathways: BMP, Wnt, and insulin-like peptides. We present Drosophila FXS model defects compared to mouse models in stem cells/embryos, the glutamatergic neuromuscular junction (NMJ) synapse model, and the developing adult brain. All three of these secreted signaling pathways are strikingly altered in FXS disease models, giving new mechanistic insights into impaired cellular outcomes and neurological phenotypes. Drosophila provides a powerful genetic screening platform to expand understanding of these secretory mechanisms and to test cellular roles in both peripheral and central nervous systems. The studies demonstrate the importance of exploring broad genetic interactions and unexpected regulatory mechanisms. We discuss a number of research avenues to pursue BMP, Wnt, and insulin signaling in future FXS investigations and the development of potential therapeutics.

Abstract
Stem cell-based therapeutics have gained tremendous attention in recent years due to their wide range of applications in various degenerative diseases, injuries, and other health-related conditions. Therapeutically effective bone marrow stem cells, cord blood- or adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and more recently, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been widely reported in many preclinical and clinical studies with some promising results. However, these stem cell-only transplantation strategies are hindered by the harsh microenvironment, limited cell viability, and poor retention of transplanted cells at the sites of injury. In fact, a number of studies have reported that less than 5% of the transplanted cells are retained at the site of injury on the first day after transplantation, suggesting extremely low (<1%) viability of transplanted cells. In this context, 3D porous or fibrous national polymers (collagen, fibrin, hyaluronic acid, and chitosan)-based scaffold with appropriate mechanical features and biocompatibility can be used to overcome various limitations of stem cell-only transplantation by supporting their adhesion, survival, proliferation, and differentiation as well as providing elegant 3-dimensional (3D) tissue microenvironment. Therefore, stem cell-based tissue engineering using natural or synthetic biomimetics provides novel clinical and therapeutic opportunities for a number of degenerative diseases or tissue injury. Here, we summarized recent studies involving various types of stem cell-based tissue-engineering strategies for different degenerative diseases. We also reviewed recent studies for preclinical and clinical use of stem cell-based scaffolds and various optimization strategies.

Abstract
In recent decades, the demand for replacement of damaged or broken tissues has increased; this poses the attention on problems related to low donor availability. For this reason, researchers focused their attention on the field of tissue engineering, which allows the development of scaffolds able to mimic the tissues’ extracellular matrix. However, tissue replacement and regeneration are complex since scaffolds need to guarantee an adequate hierarchical structured morphology as well as adequate mechanical, chemical, and physical properties to stand the stresses and enhance the new tissue formation. For this purpose, the use of inorganic materials as fillers for the scaffolds has gained great interest in tissue engineering applications, due to their wide range of physicochemical properties as well as their capability to induce biological responses. However, some issues still need to be faced to improve their efficacy. This review focuses on the description of the most effective inorganic nanomaterials (clays, nano-based nanomaterials, metal oxides, metallic nanoparticles) used in tissue engineering and their properties. Particular attention has been devoted to their combination with scaffolds in a wide range of applications. In particular, skin, orthopaedic, and neural tissue engineering have been considered.

Abstract
Label-free detection of nanoparticles is essential for a thorough evaluation of their cellular effects. In particular, nanoparticles intended for medical applications must be carefully analyzed in terms of their interactions with cells, tissues, and organs. Since the labeling causes a strong change in the physicochemical properties and thus also alters the interactions of the particles with the surrounding tissue, the use of fluorescently labeled particles is inadequate to characterize the effects of unlabeled particles. Further, labeling may affect cellular uptake and biocompatibility of nanoparticles. Thus, label-free techniques have been recently developed and implemented to ensure a reliable characterization of nanoparticles. This review provides an overview of frequently used label-free visualization techniques and highlights recent studies on the development and usage of microscopy systems based on reflectance, darkfield, differential interference contrast, optical coherence, photothermal, holographic, photoacoustic, total internal reflection, surface plasmon resonance, Rayleigh light scattering, hyperspectral and reflectance structured illumination imaging. Using these imaging modalities, there is a strong enhancement in the reliability of experiments concerning cellular uptake and biocompatibility of nanoparticles, which is crucial for preclinical evaluations and future medical applications.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injuries are a major source of disabilities, and treatment of long nerve gap autografts is the gold standard. However, due to poor availability and donor-site morbidity, research is directed towards the development of regenerative strategies based on the use of artificial nerve guidance conduits (NGCs). Several properties and characteristics of the NGCs can be fine-tuned, such as the architecture of the conduit, the surface topography and the addition of bioactive molecules and cells to speed up nerve regeneration. In this review, US FDA-approved NGCs are described. The recent works, in which polymeric, magnetic, silica-based and lipidic NPs are employed to introduce growth factors (GFs) to NGCs, are overviewed and discussed in depth herein.

Abstract
This paper reports simple strategies to fabricate self-assembled artificial tubular and filamentous systems from a low molecular weight gelator (LMWG). In the first strategy, tubular ‘core–shell’ gel structures based on the dibenzylidenesorbitol-based LMWG DBS-CONHNH2 were made in combination with the polymer gelator (PG) calcium alginate. In the second approach, gel filaments based on DBS-CONHNH2 alone were prepared by wet spinning at elevated concentrations using a ‘solvent-switch’ approach. The higher concentrations used in wet-spinning prevent the need for a supporting PG. Furthermore, this can be extended into a 3D-printing method, with the printed LMWG objects showing excellent stability for at least a week in water. The LMWG retains its unique ability for in situ precious metal reduction, yielding Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) within the tubes and filaments when they are exposed to AuCl3 solutions. Since the gel filaments have a higher loading of DBS-CONHNH2, they can be loaded with significantly more AuNPs. Cytotoxicity and viability studies on human mesenchymal stem cells show that the DBS-CONHNH2 and DBS-CONHNH2/alginate hybrid gels loaded with AuNPs are biocompatible, with the presence of AuNPs enhancing stem cell metabolism. Taken together, these results indicate that DBS-CONHNH2 can be shaped and 3D-printed, and has considerable potential for use in tissue engineering applications. Simple fabrication and 3D-printing methods are used to generate tubes and filaments from self-assembled gels, which can be loaded in situ with gold nanoparticles, with the resulting gels encouraging stem cell proliferation.![]()

A bimetallic load-bearing bioceramics of TiO 2 @ ZrO 2 integrated polycaprolactone fibrous tissue construct exhibits anti bactericidal effect and induces osteogenesis in MC3T3-E1 cells.

Abstract
Bioactive mesoporous binary metal oxide nanoparticles allied with polymeric scaffolds can mimic natural extracellular matrix because of their self-mineralized functional matrix. Herein, we developed fibrous scaffolds of polycaprolactone (PCL) integrating well-dispersed TiO2@ZrO2 nanoparticles (NPs) via electrospinning for a tissue engineering approach. The scaffold with 0.1 wt% of bioceramic (TiO2@ZrO2) shows synergistic effects on physicochemical and bioactivity suited to stem cell attachment/proliferation. The bioceramics-based scaffold shows excellent antibacterial activity that can prevent implant-associated infections. In addition, the TiO2@ZrO2 in scaffold serves as a stem cell microenvironment to accelerate cell-to-cell interactions, including cell growth, morphology/orientation, differentiation, and regeneration. The NPs in PCL exert superior biocompatibility on MC3T3-E1 cells inducing osteogenic differentiation. The ALP activity and ARS staining confirm the upregulation of bone-related proteins and minerals suggesting the scaffolds exhibit osteoinductive abilities and contribute to bone cell regeneration. Based on this result, the bimetallic oxide could become a novel bone ceramic tailor TiO2@ZrO2 composite tissue-construct and keep potential nanomaterials-based scaffold for bone tissue engineering strategy.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells owing to their regenerative potential and multilineage potency. MSCs have wide-scale applications either in their native cellular form or in conjugation with specific biomaterials as nanocomposites. Majorly, these natural or synthetic biomaterials are being used in the form of metallic and non-metallic nanoparticles (NPs) to encapsulate MSCs within hydrogels like alginate or chitosan or drug cargo loading into MSCs. In contrast, nanofibers of polymer scaffolds such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), silk fibroin, collagen, chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid (HA), and cellulose are used to support or grow MSCs directly on it. These MSCs based nanotherapies have application in multiple domains of biomedicine including wound healing, bone and cartilage engineering, cardiac disorders, and neurological disorders. This study focused on current approaches of MSCs-based therapies and has been divided into two major sections. The first section elaborates on MSC-based nano-therapies and their plausible applications including exosome engineering and NPs encapsulation. The following section focuses on the various MSC-based scaffold approaches in tissue engineering. Conclusively, this review mainly focused on MSC-based nanocomposite's current approaches and compared their advantages and limitations for building effective regenerative medicines.

Abstract
Biofilm-associated infections are a major cause of impaired wound healing. Despite the broad spectrum of anti-bacterial benefits provided by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), these materials still cause controversy due to cytotoxicity and a lack of efficacy against mature biofilms. Herein, highly potent ultrasmall AgNPs were combined with a biocompatible hydrogel with integrated synergistic functionalities to facilitate elimination of clinically relevant mature biofilms in-vivo combined with improved wound healing capacity. The delivery platform showed a superior release mechanism, reflected by high biocompatibility, hemocompatibility, and extended antibacterial efficacy. In vivo studies using the S. aureus wound biofilm model showed that the AgNP hydrogel (200 µg/g) was highly effective in eliminating biofilm infection and promoting wound repair compared to the controls, including silver sulfadiazine (Ag SD). Treatment of infected wounds with the AgNP hydrogel resulted in faster wound closure (46% closure compared to 20% for Ag SD) and accelerated wound re-epithelization (60% for AgNP), as well as improved early collagen deposition. The AgNP hydrogel did not show any toxicity to tissue and/or organs. These findings suggest that the developed AgNP hydrogel has the potential to be a safe wound treatment capable of eliminating infection and providing a safe yet effective strategy for the treatment of infected wounds.

J Orthop Res 2021; 39:1633-1646.

Abstract
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are widely used in a number of cell therapies and bone disorder treatments, and nanomagnetic particles (NMPs) also promote cell activity. In this study, we investigated the synergistic effects of EMFs and NMPs on the osteogenesis of the human Saos-2 osteoblast cell line and in a rat calvarial defect model. The Saos-2 cells and critical-size calvarial defects of the rats were exposed to EMF (1 mT, 45 Hz, 8 h/day) with or without Fe3 O4 NMPs. Biocompatibility was evaluated with MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) assays. This analysis showed that NMP and EMF did not induce cell toxicity. Quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction indicated that the osteogenesis-related markers were highly expressed in the NMP-incorporated Saos-2 cells after exposure to EMF. Also, the expression of gene-encoding proteins involved in calcium channels was activated and the calcium concentration of the NMP-incorporated + EMF-exposed group was increased compared with the control group. In particular, in the NMP-incorporated + EMF-exposed group, all osteogenic proteins were more abundantly expressed than in the control group. This indicated that the NMP incorporation + EMF exposure induced a signaling pathway through activation of p-ERK and calcium channels. Also, in vivo evaluation revealed that rat calvarial defects treated with EMFs and NMPs had good regeneration results with new bone formation and increased mineral density after 6 weeks. Altogether, these results suggest that NMP treatment or EMF exposure of Saos-2 cells can increase osteogenic activity and NMP incorporation following EMF exposure which is synergistically efficient for osteogenesis.

Abstract
Nanoparticles (NPs) due to their medical applications are widely used. Accordingly, the use of mesenchymal stem cells is one of the most important alternatives in tissue engineering field. NPs play effective roles in stem cells proliferation and differentiation. The combination of NPs and tissue regeneration by stem cells has created new therapeutic approach towards humanity. Of note, the physicochemical properties of NPs determine their biological function. Interestingly, various mechanisms such as modulation of signaling pathways and generation of reactive oxygen species, are involved in NPs-induced cellular proliferation and differentiation. This review summarized the types of nanomaterials effective on stem cell differentiation, the physicochemical features, biomedical application of these materials and relationship between nanomaterials and environment.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) are intensely scrutinized for biomedical applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and adjustable magnetic field (MF) responsiveness. Three-dimensional spheroid culture of ADSC improves stem cell proliferation and differentiation, increasing their potential for clinical applications. In this study we aimed to detect if MF levitated culture of ADSC loaded with proprietary MNP maintain the properties of ADSC and improve their performances. Levitated ADSC-MNP formed aggregates with increased volume and reduced number compared to nonlevitated ones. ADSC-MNP from levitated spheroid displayed higher viability, proliferation and mobility compared to nonlevitated and 2D culture. Levitated and nonlevitated ADSC-MNP spheroids underwent three lineage differentiation, demonstrating preserved ADSC stemness. Quantitative osteogenesis showed similar values in MNP-loaded levitated and nonlevitated spheroids. Significant increases in adipogenic conversion was observed for all 3D formulation. Chondrogenic conversion in levitated and nonlevitated spheroids produced comparable ratio glucosaminoglycan (GAG)/DNA. Increased chondrogenesis could be observed for ADSC-MNP in both levitated and nonlevitated condition. Taken together, ADSC-MNP levitated spheroids retain stemness and display superior cell viability and migratory capabilities. Furthermore, the method consistently increases spheroid maneuverability, potentially facilitating large scale manufacturing and automation. Levitated spheroid culture of ADSC-MNP can be further tested for various application in regenerative medicine and organ modeling.

Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been widely studied to inhibit differentiation into osteoclasts. However, reports of the inhibitory effects of silver nanoparticles (SNPs) during the process of differentiation into osteoclasts are rare. We compared the inhibitory effect of GNPs and SNPs during the process of differentiation into osteoclasts. Bone marrow-derived cells were differentiated into osteoclasts by the receptor activator of the nuclear factor-kappa-Β ligand (RANKL). The inhibitory effect of GNPs or SNPs during the process of differentiation into osteoclasts was investigated using tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and actin ring staining. The formation of TRAP positive (+) multinuclear cells (MNCs) with the actin ring structure was most inhibited in the SNP group. In addition, the expression of specific genes related to the differentiation into osteoclasts, such as c-Fos, the nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1), TRAP, and Cathepsin K (CTSK) were also inhibited in the SNP groups. As a result, the levels related to differentiation into osteoclasts were consistently lower in the SNP groups than in the GNP groups. Our study suggests that SNPs can be a useful material for inhibiting differentiation into osteoclasts and they can be applied to treatments for osteoporosis patients.

Abstract
Due to the extremely high incidence of lesions and diseases in aging population, it is critical to put all efforts into developing a successful implant for osteochondral tissue regeneration. Many of the patients undergoing surgery present osteochondral fissure extending until the subchondral bone (corresponding to a IV grade according to the conventional radiographic classification by Berndt and Harty). Therefore, strategies for functional tissue regeneration should also aim at healing the subchondral bone and joint interface, besides hyaline cartilage. With the ambition of contributing to solving this problem, several research groups have been working intensively on the development of tailored implants that could promote that complex osteochondral regeneration. These implants may be manufactured through a wide variety of processes and use a wide variety of (bio)materials. This review aimed to examine the state of the art regarding the challenges, advantages, and drawbacks of the current strategies for osteochondral regeneration. One of the most promising approaches relies on the principles of additive manufacturing, where technologies are used that allow for the production of complex 3D structures with a high level of control, intended and predefined geometry, size, and interconnected pores, in a reproducible way. However, not all materials are suitable for these processes, and their features should be examined, targeting a successful regeneration.

Abstract
A potential ability of stem cells (SCs) is to regenerate and repair tissues in the human body by providing great prospects for therapeutic applications in the field of medicine. Currently, SC therapy is used in various conditions like diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, etc. but faces some limitations like patient biocompatibility and chances of cross-infection. SCs are further modulated with nanoconjugates to overcome such challenges and will offer an advantage in the treatment of COVID-19. This pandemic requires design and development of proper treatment to save the life of human beings. Advancements in SC-based nanoconjugated therapy will open new avenues and create a significant impact in the development of futuristic nanomedicine. It may also emerge as a potential therapy for the management of infection in patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 and related diseases such as pneumonia and virus-induced lung injuries.

Abstract
In the last 30 years the research about zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and their related toxicity has shown a boom. ZnO NPs show cytotoxicity for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and many studies demonstrated their selective toxicity towards cancer cells. However, with the increasing number of publications, it is observed an increase in the discrepancies obtained between the various results. Soon the scientific community understood that the ZnO NC toxicity behaviour is affected by many factors, related not only to the ZnO NPs themselves, but also to the experimental conditions used. Many recent reviews discussed these parameters by reporting experimental evidence and tried to assess the general statements about the ZnO NP cytotoxicity. This information is extremely useful for the evaluation of which type of ZnO NPs is more or less suitable for a specific study or application. However, despite that, a deep comprehension of the ZnO NP behaviour in relation to the different experimental conditions is still lacking. Actually, a full understanding of the reasons behind the NP behaviour is essential to better assess their biological activity and in particular their therapeutic application, avoiding undesired effects both in the experimental and clinical contexts. This tutorial review aims to be an experimental and practical guide for scientists that faced with the use of ZnO NPs for biomedical applications and, in particular, for their therapeutic purposes. The driving idea is to not simply summarize the results reported in the literature, but to provide instruments for a deep comprehension of the mechanisms affecting the ZnO NP cytotoxicity and behavior.

Abstract
The widespread use of biomaterials to support or replace body parts is increasingly threatened by the risk of implant-associated infections. In the quest for finding novel anti-infective biomaterials, there generally has been a one-sided focus on biomaterials with direct antibacterial properties, which leads to excessive use of antibacterial agents, compromised host responses, and unpredictable effectiveness in vivo. This review sheds light on how host immunomodulation, rather than only targeting bacteria, can endow biomaterials with improved anti-infective properties. How antibacterial surface treatments are at risk to be undermined by biomaterial features that dysregulate the protection normally provided by critical immune cell subsets, namely, neutrophils and macrophages, is discussed. Accordingly, how the precise modification of biomaterial surface biophysical cues, or the incorporation of immunomodulatory drug delivery systems, can render biomaterials with the necessary immune-compatible and immune-protective properties to potentiate the host defense mechanisms is reviewed. Within this context, the protective role of host defense peptides, metallic particles, quorum sensing inhibitors, and therapeutic adjuvants is discussed. The highlighted immunomodulatory strategies may lay a foundation to develop anti-infective biomaterials, while mitigating the increasing threat of antibacterial drug resistance.

Abstract
The nervous system, which consists of a complex network of millions of neurons, is one of the most highly intricate systems in the body. This complex network is responsible for the physiological and cognitive functions of the human body. Following injuries or degenerative diseases, damage to the nervous system is overwhelming because of its complexity and its limited regeneration capacity. However, neural tissue engineering currently has some capacities for repairing nerve deficits and promoting neural regeneration, with more developments in the future. Nevertheless, controlling the guidance of stem cell proliferation and differentiation is a challenging step towards this goal. Nanomaterials have the potential for the guidance of the stem cells towards the neural lineage which can overcome the pitfalls of the classical methods since they provide a unique microenvironment that facilitates cell-matrix and cell-cell interaction, and they can manipulate the cell signaling mechanisms to control stem cells' fate. In this article, the suitable cell sources and microenvironment cues for neuronal tissue engineering were examined. Afterward, the nanomaterials that impact stem cell proliferation and differentiation towards neuronal lineage were reviewed.

Abstract
In addition to adverse health outcomes, neurological disorders have serious societal and economic impacts on patients, their family and society as a whole. There is no definite treatment for these disorders, and current available drugs only slow down the progression of the disease. In recent years, application of stem cells has been widely advanced due to their potential of self-renewal and differentiation to different cell types which make them suitable candidates for cell therapy. In particular, this approach offers great opportunities for the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders. However, some major issues related to stem-cell therapy, including their tumorigenicity, viability, safety, metastases, uncontrolled differentiation and possible immune response have limited their application in clinical scales. To address these challenges, a combination of stem-cell therapy with nanotechnology can be a solution. Nanotechnology has the potential of improvement of stem-cell therapy by providing ideal substrates for large scale proliferation of stem cells. Application of nanomaterial in stem-cell culture will be also beneficial to modulation of stem-cell differentiation using nanomedicines. Nanodelivery of functional compounds can enhance the efficiency of neuron therapy by stem cells and development of nanobased techniques for real-time, accurate and long-lasting imaging of stem-cell cycle processes. However, these novel techniques need to be investigated to optimize their efficiency in treatment of neurologic diseases.

Abstract
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a multifactorial, chronic disease without definite etiology characterized by bladder-related pelvic pain. IC/BPS is associated with pain that negatively affects the quality of life. There are various therapeutic approaches against IC/BPS. However, no efficient therapeutic agent against IC/BPS has been discovered yet. Urothelium dysfunction is one of the key factors of IC/BPS-related pathogenicity. Stem cells, including adult stem cells (ASCs) and pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), such as embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced PSCs (iPSCs), possess the abilities of self-renewal, proliferation, and differentiation into various cell types, including urothelial and other bladder cells. Therefore, stem cells are considered robust candidates for bladder regeneration. This review provides a brief overview of the etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of IC/BPS as well as a summary of ASCs and PSCs. The potential of ASCs and PSCs in bladder regeneration via differentiation into bladder cells or direct transplantation into the bladder and the possible applications in IC/BPS therapy are described in detail. A better understanding of current studies on stem cells and bladder regeneration will allow further improvement in the approaches of stem cell applications for highly efficient IC/BPS therapy.

Abstract
This paper reports the impact of the magnetic field on 3T3-E1 preosteoblasts within silk-fibroin scaffolds decorated with magnetic nanoparticles. Scaffolds were prepared from silk fibroin and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) template in which magnetite nanoparticles were embedded. The presence of the magnetite specific peaks within scaffolds compositions was evidenced by RAMAN analysis. Structural investigation was done by XRD analysis and morphological information including internal structure was obtained through SEM analysis. Geometrical evaluation (size and shape), crystalline structure of magnetic nanoparticles and the morphology of the silk fibroin scaffolds were investigated by HR-TEM. Magnetic nanoparticles were distributed within scaffolds structure. Biomineralization of hydroxyapatite on silk fibroin scaffolds with and without magnetic nanoparticles was investigated by an alternate soaking process. SEM images showed that the magnetic scaffolds were covered in an almost continuously film, which has a phase with nanostructured characteristics. This phase, which has as main components Ca and P, is made of lamellar formations. The design of an original magnetic 3D cell culture setup allowed us to observe cellular modifications under the exposure to magnetic field in the presence of magnetic silk fibroin biomaterials. The cellular proliferation potential of 3T3-E1 cell line was found increased under the magnetic field, especially in the presence of the magnetite nanoparticles. In addition, we showed that the low static magnetic field positively impacts on the osteogenic differentiation potential of the cells inside the biomimetic magnetic scaffolds.

Enhancing Neurogenesis of Neural Stem Cells Using Homogeneous Nanohole Pattern-Modified Conductive Platform. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 21:ijms21010191.

Abstract
Biocompatible platforms, wherein cells attach and grow, are important for controlling cytoskeletal dynamics and steering stem cell functions, including differentiation. Among various components, membrane integrins play a key role in focal adhesion of cells (18-20 nm in size) and are, thus, highly sensitive to the nanotopographical features of underlying substrates. Hence, it is necessary to develop a platform/technique that can provide high flexibility in controlling nanostructure sizes. We report a platform modified with homogeneous nanohole patterns, effective in guiding neurogenesis of mouse neural stem cells (mNSCs). Sizes of nanoholes were easily generated and varied using laser interference lithography (LIL), by changing the incident angles of light interference on substrates. Among three different nanohole patterns fabricated on conductive transparent electrodes, 500 nm-sized nanoholes showed the best performance for cell adhesion and spreading, based on F-actin and lamellipodia/filopodia expression. Enhanced biocompatibility and cell adhesion of these nanohole patterns ultimately resulted in the enhanced neurogenesis of mNSCs, based on the mRNAs expression level of the mNSCs marker and several neuronal markers. Therefore, platforms modified with homogeneous nanohole patterns fabricated by LIL are promising for the precise tuning of nanostructures in tissue culture platforms and useful for controlling various differentiation lineages of stem cells.

Abstract
In the last decade, several engineered gold-based nanomaterials, such as spheres, rods, stars, cubes, hollow particles, and nanocapsules have been widely explored in biomedical fields, in particular in therapy and diagnostics. As well as different shapes and dimensions, these materials may, on their surfaces, have specific functionalizations to improve their capability as sensors or in drug loading and controlled release, and/or particular cell receptors ligands, in order to get a definite targeting. In this review, the up-to-date progress will be illustrated regarding morphologies, sizes and functionalizations, mostly used to obtain an improved performance of nanomaterials in biomedicine. Many suggestions are presented to organize and compare the numerous and heterogeneous experimental data, such as the most important chemical-physical parameters, which guide and control the interaction between the gold surface and biological environment. The purpose of all this is to offer the readers an overview of the most noteworthy progress and challenges in this research field.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess a broad spectrum of therapeutic applications and have been used in clinical trials. MSCs are mainly retrieved from adult or fetal tissues. However, there are many obstacles with the use of tissue-derived MSCs, such as shortages of tissue sources, difficult and invasive retrieval methods, cell population heterogeneity, low purity, cell senescence, and loss of pluripotency and proliferative capacities over continuous passages. Therefore, other methods to obtain high-quality MSCs need to be developed to overcome the limitations of tissue-derived MSCs. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs), including embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), are considered potent sources for the derivation of MSCs. PSC-derived MSCs (PSC-MSCs) may surpass tissue-derived MSCs in proliferation capacity, immunomodulatory activity, and in vivo therapeutic applications. In this review, we will discuss basic as well as recent protocols for the production of PSC-MSCs and their in vitro and in vivo therapeutic efficacies. A better understanding of the current advances in the production of PSC-MSCs will inspire scientists to devise more efficient differentiation methods that will be a breakthrough in the clinical application of PSC-MSCs.
