Abstract
The enhancement of hemocompatibility through the use of nanoplatforms loaded with heparin represents a highly desirable characteristic in the context of emerging tissue engineering applications. The significance of employing heparin in biological processes is unquestionable, owing to its ability to interact with a diverse range of proteins. It plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes by engaging in interactions with diverse proteins and hydrogels. This review provides a summary of recent endeavors focused on augmenting the hemocompatibility of tissue engineering methods through the utilization of nanoplatforms loaded with heparin. This study also provides a comprehensive review of the various applications of heparin-loaded nanofibers and nanoparticles, as well as the techniques employed for encapsulating heparin within these nanoplatforms. The biological and physical effects resulting from the encapsulation of heparin in nanoplatforms are examined. The potential applications of heparin-based materials in tissue engineering are also discussed, along with future perspectives in this field.

Micro-scaffolds as synthetic cell niches: recent advances and challenges. Curr Opin Biotechnol 2021; 73:290-299.

Abstract
Micro-fabrication and nano-fabrication provide useful approaches to address fundamental biological questions by mimicking the physiological microenvironment in which cells carry out their functions. In particular, 2D patterns and 3D scaffolds obtained via lithography, direct laser writing, and other techniques allow for shaping hydrogels, synthetic polymers and biologically derived materials to create structures for (single) cell culture. Applications of micro-scaffolds mimicking cell niches include stem cell self-renewal, differentiation, and lineage specification. This review moves from technological aspects of scaffold microfabrication for cell biological applications to a broad overview of advances in (stem) cell research: achievements for embryonic, induced pluripotent, mesenchymal, and neural stem cells are treated in detail, while a particular section is dedicated to micro-scaffolds used to study single cells in basic cell biology.

Abstract
The use of microfabrication techniques for the development of innovative constructs for tissue regeneration is a growing area of research. This area comprises both manufacturing and biological approaches for the development of smart materials aiming to control and direct cell behavior to enhance tissue healing. Many groups have focused their efforts on introducing complexity within these innovative constructs via the inclusion of nano- and microtopographical cues mimicking physical and biological aspects of the native stem cell niche. Specifically, in the area of skin tissue engineering, seminal work has reported replicating the microenvironments located in the dermal-epithelial junction, which are known as rete ridges. The rete ridges are key for both stem cell control and the physiological performance of the skin. In this work, we have introduced complexity within electrospun membranes to mimic the morphology of the rete ridges in the skin. We designed and tested three different patterns, characterized them, and explored their performance in vitro, using 3D skin models. One of the studied patterns (pattern B) was shown to aid in the development of an in vitro rite-ridgelike skin model that resulted in the expression of relevant epithelial markers such as collagen IV and integrin β1. In summary, we have developed a new skin model including synthetic rete-ridgelike structures that replicate both morphology and function of the native dermal-epidermal junction and that offer new insights for the development of smart skin tissue engineering constructs.

Abstract
The recapitulation of the stem cell microenvironment is an emerging area of research that has grown significantly in the last 10 to 15 years. Being able to understand the underlying mechanisms that relate stem cell behavior to the physical environment in which stem cells reside is currently a challenge that many groups are trying to unravel. Several approaches have attempted to mimic the biological components that constitute the native stem cell niche, however, this is a very intricate environment and, although promising advances have been made recently, it becomes clear that new strategies need to be explored to ensure a better understanding of the stem cell niche behavior. The second strand in stem cell niche research focuses on the use of manufacturing techniques to build simple but functional models; these models aim to mimic the physical features of the niche environment which have also been demonstrated to play a big role in directing cell responses. This second strand has involved a more engineering approach in which a wide set of microfabrication techniques have been explored in detail. This review aims to summarize the use of these microfabrication techniques and how they have approached the challenge of mimicking the native stem cell niche.
