Abstract
Most components in avian eggs, offering a natural and environmentally friendly source of raw materials, hold great potential in tissue engineering. An avian egg consists of several beneficial elements: the protective eggshell, the eggshell membrane, the egg white (albumen), and the egg yolk (vitellus). The eggshell is mostly composed of calcium carbonate and has intrinsic biological properties that stimulate bone repair. It is a suitable precursor for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphate, which are particularly relevant for bone tissue engineering. The eggshell membrane is a thin protein-based layer with a fibrous structure and is constituted of several valuable biopolymers, such as collagen and hyaluronic acid, that are also found in the human extracellular matrix. As a result, the eggshell membrane has found several applications in skin tissue repair and regeneration. The egg white is a protein-rich material that is under investigation for the design of functional protein-based hydrogel scaffolds. The egg yolk, mostly composed of lipids but also diverse essential nutrients (e.g., proteins, minerals, vitamins), has potential applications in wound healing and bone tissue engineering. This review summarizes the advantages and status of each egg component in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, but also covers their current limitations and future perspectives.

Abstract
Synthetic polymers remain to be a major choice for scaffold fabrication due to their structural stability and mechanical strength. However, the lack of functional moieties limits their application for cell-based therapies which necessitate modification and functionalization. Blending synthetic polymers with natural components is a simple and effective way to achieve the desired biological properties for a scaffold. Herein, nanofibrous mats made of polycaprolactone (PCL) and egg white protein (EWP) blend were developed and further evaluated for use as a scaffold for tissue engineering applications. Homogeneous distribution of EWP was achieved throughout the nanofibrous mats, as shown by immunohistochemistry. ATR-FTIR analysis and contact angle measurements have further confirmed the presence of EWP on the surface of the samples. The swelling test showed that PCL/EWP nanofibers have higher water uptake than PCL nanofibrous mats. Also, EWP addition on the nanofibrous mats resulted in an increase in the tensile strength and Young's modulus of the mats, indicating that the presence of protein can greatly enhance the mechanical properties of the mats. A significantly higher, more uniform, and dispersed cell spreading was observed on days 7 and 14 than that on neat PCL mats, demonstrating the importance of providing the required cues for cell homing by the availability of EWP. Hence, EWP is shown to be a simple and low-cost source for the functionalization of PCL nanofibrous mats. EWP is, therefore, a facile candidate to enhance cellular interactions of synthetic polymers for a wide range of tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Critical bone defects arising from traumatic injury and diseases are of major health concern since they are unable to heal spontaneously without clinical intervention. In this context, bone tissue engineering provides an attractive approach to treat bone defects by providing a bioactive template which has the potential to guide osseous tissue regeneration. In this study, porous hybrid placental extracellular matrix sponge (PIMS) was fabricated by a combinatorial method using silk fibroin (SF)/placental derived extracellular matrix and subsequently evaluated its efficacy towards bone tissue regeneration. The presence of intrinsic growth factors was evidenced by immunoblotting of the extracted proteins derived from the placental derived extracellular matrix. This growth factor rich PIMS lends a unique bioactive scaffolding to human amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (HAMSCs) which supported enhanced proliferation as well as superior osteogenic differentiation. Gene expression studies demonstrated significant up-regulation of osteogenic related genes in the PIMS group. PIMS when implanted in the chick chorioallantoic membrane, significantly attracted allantoic vessels revealing its potential to stimulate angiogenesis ex vivo. Furthermore, no severe immune response to the host was observed on subcutaneous implantation of PIMS in vivo. Instead, it supported the formation of blood vessels, revealing its outstanding biocompatibility. Additionally, critical tibial defects treated with PIMS demonstrated higher bone volume after six weeks when analyzed by micro-CT, which was accompanied by high mineral density. Histological and immunofluorescence studies validated the results and revealed enhanced osseous tissue regeneration after six weeks of surgery. All these findings recapitulated that the growth factors incorporated bioactive PIMS could perform as an appropriate matrix for osteogenic differentiation and efficient bone regeneration.

Abstract
The availability of 3D sponges combining proper biochemical, biophysical, and biomechanical properties with enhanced capacity of in vivo engraftment and vascularization is crucial in regenerative medicine. A simple process is developed to generate macroporous scaffolds with a well-defined architecture of interconnected pores from chicken egg white (EW), a material with protein- and growth factor-binding features which has not yet been employed in regenerative medicine. The physicomechanical properties and degradation rates of the scaffold are finely tuned by using varying concentrations of the cross-linker, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride, without alteration of the biochemical traits. In vitro, EW scaffolds supported active metabolism, proliferation, and migration of human dermal fibroblasts, thereby generating uniform cellular constructs. In vivo, subcutaneous implantation in mice reveals negligible immune reaction and efficient cell and tissue ingrowth. Angiogenesis into EW scaffolds is enhanced as compared to standard collagen type I sponges used as reference material, likely due to significantly higher adsorption of the proangiogenic factor vascular endothelial growth factor. In summary, a material is presented derived by facile processing of a highly abundant natural product. Due to the efficient subcutaneous engraftment capacity, the sponges can find utilization for soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Nanocomposite scaffolds with tailored 3D pore configuration are promising candidates for the reconstruction of bone. Here we fabricated novel nanocomposite bone scaffolds through robocasting. Poly(caprolactone) (PCL)-hydroxyapatite (HA) slurry containing ionically modified carbon nanotubes (imCNTs) was robotic-dispensed and structured layer-by-layer into macrochanneled 3D scaffolds under adjusted processing conditions. Homogeneous dispersion of imCNTs (0.2 wt % relative to PCL-HA) was achieved in acetone, aiding in the preparation of PCL-HA-imCNTs slurry with good mixing property. Incorporation of imCNTs into PCL-HA composition significantly improved the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the robotic-dispensed scaffolds (~1.5-fold in strength and ~2.5-fold in elastic modulus). When incubated in simulated body fluid (SBF), PCL-HA-imCNT nanocomposite scaffold induced substantial mineralization of apatite in a similar manner to the PCL-HA scaffold, which was contrasted in pure PCL scaffold. MC3T3-E1 cell culture on the scaffolds demonstrated that cell proliferation levels were significantly higher in both PCL-HA-imCNT and PCL-HA than in pure PCL, and no significant difference was found between the nanocomposite scaffolds. When the PCL-HA-imCNT scaffold was implanted into a rat subcutaneous tissue for 4 weeks, soft fibrous tissues with neo-blood vessels formed well in the pore channels of the scaffolds without any significant inflammatory signs. Tissue reactions in PCL-HA-imCNT scaffold were similar to those in PCL-HA scaffold, suggesting incorporated imCNT did not negate the beneficial biological roles of HA. While more long-term in vivo research in bone defect models is needed to confirm clinical availability, our results suggest robotic-dispensed PCL-HA-imCNT nanocomposite scaffolds can be considered promising new candidate matrices for bone regeneration.

Abstract
Here we prepared three-dimensional (3D) porous-structured biodegradable polymer scaffolds for tissue regeneration using room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) as a novel porogen, and addressed their biological properties, including in vitro cell growth and differentiation and in vivo tissue compatibility. RTIL based on 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([bmim]) bearing hydrophilic anion Cl was introduced within the polymer structure to provide a pore network. A mixture of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with RTIL dissolved in an organic solvent formed a bi-continuous network during the drying process. Selective dissolution of the RTIL phase was facilitated in ethanol, which resulted in a porous network of the polymer phase with complete removal of the RTIL. The RTILs-assisted porous scaffolds showed a typical open-channeled network with pore sizes over 100 μm and porosities of about 86-94%. For the biocompatibility assessments of the scaffolds, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from rat bone marrow were seeded onto the PLA scaffold, and the cell proliferation and osteoblastic differentiation behaviors were examined. Results showed a typical on-going increase in the cell population with a level comparable to that observed on the tissue culture plastic control, indicating good cell compatibility. When cultured in an osteogenic medium, the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of the cells on the PLA scaffolds was stimulated to increase with time from 7 to 14 days, in a similar manner to that on the control. Moreover, the expression of genes related to osteoblasts, including collagen type I, osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein, was stimulated on the 3D PLA scaffold during culture for up to 14 days, with levels higher than those on the control, suggesting the developed scaffold provided a 3D matrix condition for osteogenesis. An in vivo pilot study conducted subcutaneously in rat for 4 weeks revealed good tissue compatibility of the scaffold, with the ingrowth of cells and formation of collageneous tissue around and deep within the pores of the scaffold and no significant inflammatory reaction. Taken together, this novel method of using RTILs as a pore generator is considered to be useful in the development of biocompatible porous polymer scaffolds for tissue regeneration.
