[PMID: 39098671 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.134374] [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: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 07/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/06/2024]
Abstract
The consumption of animal products has witnessed a significant increase over the years, leading to a growing need for industries to adopt strict waste control measures to mitigate environmental impacts. The disposal of animal waste in landfill can result in diverse and potentially hazardous decomposition by-products. Animal by-products, derived from meat, poultry, seafood and fish industries, offer a substantial raw material source for collagen and gelatin production due to their high protein content. Collagen, being a major protein component of animal tissues, represents an abundant resource that finds application in various chemical and material industries. The demand for collagen-based products continues to grow, yet the availability of primary material remains limited and insufficient to meet projected needs. Consequently, repurposing waste materials that contain collagen provides an opportunity to meet this need while at the same time minimizing the amount of waste that is dumped. This review examines the potential to extract value from the collagen content present in animal-derived waste and by-products. It provides a systematic evaluation of different species groups and discusses various approaches for processing and fabricating repurposed collagen. This review specifically focuses on collagen-based research, encompassing an examination of its physical and chemical properties, as well as the potential for chemical modifications. We have detailed how the research and knowledge built on collagen structure and function will drive the new initiatives that will lead to the development of new products and opportunities in the future. Additionally, it highlights emerging approaches for extracting high-quality protein from waste and discusses efforts to fabricate collagen-based materials leading to the development of new and original products within the chemical, biomedical and physical science-based industries.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex non-cellular three-dimensional macromolecular network present within all tissues and organs, forming the foundation on which cells sit, and composed of proteins (such as collagen), glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, minerals, and water. The ECM provides a fundamental framework for the cellular constituents of tissue and biochemical support to surrounding cells. The ECM is a highly dynamic structure that is constantly being remodeled. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are among the most important proteolytic enzymes of the ECM and are capable of degrading all ECM molecules. MMPs play a relevant role in physiological as well as pathological processes; MMPs participate in embryogenesis, morphogenesis, wound healing, and tissue remodeling, and therefore, their impaired activity may result in several problems. MMP activity is also associated with chronic inflammation, tissue breakdown, fibrosis, and cancer invasion and metastasis. The periodontium is a unique anatomical site, composed of a variety of connective tissues, created by the ECM. During periodontitis, a chronic inflammation affecting the periodontium, increased presence and activity of MMPs is observed, resulting in irreversible losses of periodontal tissues. MMP expression and activity may be controlled in various ways, one of which is the inhibition of their activity by an endogenous group of tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), as well as reversion-inducing cysteine-rich protein with Kazal motifs (RECK).

Abstract
Antimicrobial hydrogels have received considerable attention in the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds. Herein, we develop a neutral, soluble collagen via modification with maleic anhydride, serving as a hydrogel precursor. Maleic anhydride-modified collagen (ColME) could form a gel after exposure to UV light and be loaded with the antimicrobial agents, nisin and levofloxacin, to acquire antimicrobial ability. The ColME hydrogel containing nisin and levofloxacin had good cytocompatibility and effectively killed pathogenic bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial ColME hydrogels effectively supported the healing of a full-thickness skin wound infected with S. aureus in a mouse model. Our results demonstrate the potential of antimicrobial hydrogels as effective wound dressings via in situ photogelation for the healing of infected wounds.

Abstract
The periosteum is a thin layer of connective tissue covering bone. It is an essential component for bone development and fracture healing. There has been considerable research exploring the application of the periosteum in bone regeneration since the 19th century. An increasing number of studies are focusing on periosteal progenitor cells found within the periosteum and the use of hydrogels as scaffold materials for periosteum engineering and guided bone development. Here, we provide an overview of the research investigating the use of the periosteum for bone repair, with consideration given to the anatomy and function of the periosteum, the importance of the cambium layer, the culture of periosteal progenitor cells, periosteum-induced ossification, periosteal perfusion, periosteum engineering, scaffold vascularization, and hydrogel-based synthetic periostea.

Abstract
Collagen methacrylation is a promising approach to generate photo-cross-linkable cell-laden hydrogels with improved mechanical properties. However, the impact of species-based variations in amino acid composition and collagen isolation method on methacrylation degree (MD) and its subsequent effects on the physical properties of methacrylated collagen (CMA) hydrogels and cell response are unknown. Herein, we compared the effects of three collagen species (bovine, human, and rat), two collagen extraction methods (pepsin digestion and acid extraction), and two photoinitiators (lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP) and Irgacure-2959 (I-2959)) on the physical properties of CMA hydrogels, printability and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) response. Human collagen showed the highest MD. LAP was more cytocompatible than I-2959. The compressive modulus and cell viability of rat CMA were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than bovine CMA. Human CMA yielded constructs with superior print fidelity. Together, these results suggest that careful selection of collagen source and cross-linking conditions is essential for biomimetic design of CMA hydrogels for tissue engineering applications.

Collagen Alignment via Electro-Compaction for Biofabrication Applications: A Review. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14204270. [PMID: 36297848 PMCID: PMC9609630 DOI: 10.3390/polym14204270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/05/2022] [Accepted: 10/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
As the most prevalent structural protein in the extracellular matrix, collagen has been extensively investigated for biofabrication-based applications. However, its utilisation has been impeded due to a lack of sufficient mechanical toughness and the inability of the scaffold to mimic complex natural tissues. The anisotropic alignment of collagen fibres has been proven to be an effective method to enhance its overall mechanical properties and produce biomimetic scaffolds. This review introduces the complicated scenario of collagen structure, fibril arrangement, type, function, and in addition, distribution within the body for the enhancement of collagen-based scaffolds. We describe and compare existing approaches for the alignment of collagen with a sharper focus on electro-compaction. Additionally, various effective processes to further enhance electro-compacted collagen, such as crosslinking, the addition of filler materials, and post-alignment fabrication techniques, are discussed. Finally, current challenges and future directions for the electro-compaction of collagen are presented, providing guidance for the further development of collagenous scaffolds for bioengineering and nanotechnology.
