Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly disabling pathology, characterized by synovial inflammation and cartilage degeneration. Orthobiologics have shown promising results in OA treatment thanks to their ability to influence articular cells and modulate the inflammatory OA environment. Considering their complex mechanism of action, the development of reliable and relevant joint models appears as crucial to select the best orthobiologics for each patient. The aim of this study was to establish a microfluidic OA model to test therapies in a personalized human setting. The joint-on-a-chip model included cartilage and synovial compartments, containing hydrogel-embedded chondrocytes and synovial fibroblasts, separated by a channel for synovial fluid. For the cartilage compartment, a Hyaluronic Acid-based matrix was selected to preserve chondrocyte phenotype. Adding OA synovial fluid induced the production of inflammatory cytokines and degradative enzymes, generating an OA microenvironment. Personalized models were generated using patient-matched cells and synovial fluid to test the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells on OA signatures. The patient-specific models allowed monitoring changes induced by cell injection, highlighting different individual responses to the treatment. Altogether, these results support the use of this joint-on-a-chip model as a prognostic tool to screen the patient-specific efficacy of orthobiologics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) are promising for therapeutic use in cartilage repair, because of their capacity to differentiate into chondrocytes. Often, in vitro differentiation protocols employ the use of high amount of glucose, which does not reflect cartilage physiology. For this reason, we investigated how different concentrations of glucose can affect the chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs in cell culture pellets. Additionally, we investigated how fructose could influence the chondrogenic differentiation in vitro. METHODS BMSC were isolated from six donors and cultured in DMEM containing glucose at either 25 mM (HG), 5.5 mM (LG) or 1 mM (LLG), and 1% non-essential amino acids, 1% ITS+, in the presence of 100 nM dexamethasone, 50 µg/ml ascorbic acid-2 phosphate and 10 ng/ml TGF-β1. To investigate the effect of different metabolic substrates, other groups were exposed to additional 25 mM fructose. The media were replaced every second day until day 21 when all the pellets were harvested for further analyses. Biochemical analysis for glycosaminoglycans into pellets and released in medium was performed using the DMMB method. Expression of GLUT3 and GLUT5 was assayed by qPCR and validated using FACS analysis and immunofluorescence in monolayer cultures. Chondrogenic differentiation was further confirmed by qPCR analysis of COL2A1, COL1A1, COL10A1, ACAN, RUNX2, SOX9, SP7, MMP13, and PPARG, normalized on RPLP0. Type 2 collagen expression was subsequently validated by immunofluorescence analysis. RESULTS We show for the first time the presence of fructose transporter GLUT5 in BMSC and its regulation during chondrogenic commitment. Additionally, decreasing glucose concentration during chondrogenesis dramatically decreased the yield of differentiation. However, the use of fructose alone or together with low glucose concentrations does not limit cell differentiation, but on the contrary it might help in maintaining a stable chondrogenic phenotype comparable with the standard culture conditions (high glucose). CONCLUSION This study provides evidence that BMSC express GLUT5 and differentially regulate GLUT3 in the presence of glucose variation. This study gives a better comprehension of BMSCs sugar use during chondrogenesis.

Abstract
Over the past years, 3D in vitro models have been widely employed in the regenerative medicine field. Among them, organ-on-a-chip technology has the potential to elucidate cellular mechanism exploiting multichannel microfluidic devices to establish 3D co-culture systems that offer control over the cellular, physico-chemical and biochemical microenvironments. To deliver the most relevant cues to cells, it is of paramount importance to select the most appropriate matrix for mimicking the extracellular matrix of the native tissue. Natural polymers-based hydrogels are the elected candidates for reproducing tissue-specific microenvironments in musculoskeletal tissue-on-a-chip models owning to their interesting and peculiar physico-chemical, mechanical and biological properties. Despite these advantages, there is still a gap between the biomaterials complexity in conventional tissue engineering and the application of these biomaterials in 3D in vitro microfluidic models. In this review, the aim is to suggest the adoption of more suitable biomaterials, alternative crosslinking strategies and tissue engineered-inspired approaches in organ-on-a-chip to better mimic the complexity of physiological musculoskeletal tissues. Accordingly, after giving an overview of the musculoskeletal tissue compositions, the properties of the main natural polymers employed in microfluidic systems are investigated, together with the main musculoskeletal tissues-on-a-chip devices.

Abstract
Morphogenesis, a complex process, ubiquitous in developmental biology and many pathologies, is based on self-patterning of cells. Spatial patterns of cells, organoids, or inorganic particles can be forced on demand using acoustic surface standing waves, such as the Faraday waves. This technology allows tuning of parameters (sound frequency, amplitude, chamber shape) under contactless, fast and mild culture conditions, for morphologically relevant tissue generation. We call this method Sound Induced Morphogenesis (SIM). In this work, we use SIM to achieve tight control over patterning of endothelial cells and mesenchymal stem cells densities within a hydrogel, with the endpoint formation of vascular structures. Here, we first parameterize our system to produce enhanced cell density gradients. Second, we allow for vasculogenesis after SIM patterning control and compare our controlled technology against state-of-the-art microfluidic culture systems, the latter characteristic of pure self-organized patterning and uniform initial density. Our sound-induced cell density patterning and subsequent vasculogenesis requires less cells than the microfluidic chamber. We advocate for the use of SIM for rapid, mild, and reproducible morphogenesis induction and further explorations in the regenerative medicine and cell therapy fields.

Abstract
Biofabrication is enriching the tissue engineering field with new ways of producing structurally organized complex tissues. Among the numerous bioinks under investigation, hyaluronic acid (HA) and its derivatives stand out for their biological relevance, cytocompatibility, shear-thinning properties, and potential to fine-tune the desired properties with chemical modification. In this paper, we review the recent advances on bioinks containing HA. The available literature is presented based on subjects including the rheological properties in connection with printability, the chemical strategies for endowing HA with the desired properties, the clinical application, the most advanced preclinical studies, the advantages and limitations in comparison with similar biopolymer-based bioinks, and future perspectives.

Abstract
A platform of enzymatically-crosslinked Collagen/Tyramine hyaluronan derivative (Col/HA-Tyr) hydrogels with tunable compositions and gelation conditions was developed to evaluate the impact of the preparation conditions on their physical, chemical and biological properties. At low HA-Tyr content, hydrogels exhibited a fibrillar structure, with lower mechanical properties compared to pure Col hydrogels. At high HA-Tyr and Horse Radish Peroxydase (HRP) content, a microfibrillar network was formed beside the banded Col fibrils and a synergistic effect of the hybrid structure on mechanical properties was observed. These hydrogels were highly resistant against enzymatic degradation while keeping a high degree of hydration. Unlike HA-Tyr hydrogels, encapsulation of human dermal fibroblasts within Col/HA-Tyr hydrogels allowed for high cell viability. These results showed that high HA-Tyr and HRP concentrations are required to positively impact the physical properties of hydrogels while preserving collagen fibrils. Those Col/HA-Tyr hydrogels appear promising for novel tissue engineering applications following a biomimetic approach.

Abstract
Skeletal muscle is a tissue with a complex and hierarchical architecture that influences its functional properties. In order to exert its contractile function, muscle tissue is connected to neural, vascular and connective compartments, comprising finely structured interfaces which are orchestrated by multiple signalling pathways. Pathological conditions such as dystrophies and trauma, or physiological situations such as exercise and aging, modify the architectural organization of these structures, hence affecting muscle functionality. To overcome current limitations of in vivo and standard in vitro models, microfluidics and biofabrication techniques have been applied to better reproduce the microarchitecture and physicochemical environment of human skeletal muscle tissue. In the present review, we aim to critically discuss the role of those techniques, taken individually or in combination, in the generation of models that mimic the complex interfaces between muscle tissue and neural/vascular/tendon compartments. The exploitation of either microfluidics or biofabrication to model different muscle interfaces has led to the development of constructs with an improved spatial organization, thus presenting a better functionality as compared to standard models. However, the achievement of models replicating muscle-tissue interfaces with adequate architecture, presence of fundamental proteins and recapitulation of signalling pathways is still far from being achieved. Increased integration between microfluidics and biofabrication, providing the possibility to pattern cells in predetermined structures with higher resolution, will help to reproduce the hierarchical and heterogeneous structure of skeletal muscle interfaces. Such strategies will further improve the functionality of these techniques, providing a key contribution towards the study of skeletal muscle functions in physiology and pathology.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is widely used in the clinical practice and in biomedical research. Through chemical modification, HA shear-thinning properties, essential for injectability and additive manufacturing, can be optimized. In this study, we employed 4-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-methylmorpholinium chloride (DMTMM) for grafting propylamine and butylamine to HA. A parametric study was performed to identify the optimal reaction conditions. Results showed that DMTMM amidation gives reproducible and accurate control over a range of degrees of substitution (DS) from 1% to 50% and proved reliable to tune viscoelasticity. At DS=3.0% for HA-propylamine and 3.7% for HA-butylamine a maximum for storage modulus and pseudoplasticity was found, whereas above or below this DS, rheological features go back to baseline values of pristine HA. Due to their singular rheological profiles, these derivatives are valuable biomaterials candidates for preparing bioinks and hydrogels for drug delivery and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE Advanced synthetic biomaterials that are able to reduce or replace the need for autologous bone transplantation are still a major clinical need in orthopaedics, dentistry, and trauma. Key requirements for improved bone substitutes are optimal handling properties, ability to fill defects of irregular shape, and capacity for delivering osteoinductive stimuli. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we targeted these requirements by preparing a new composite of β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and a thermoresponsive hyaluronan (HA) hydrogel. Dissolution properties of the composite as a function of the particle size and polymeric phase molecular weight and concentration were analysed to identify the best compositions. RESULTS Owing to its amphiphilic character, the composite was able to provide controlled release of both recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 and dexamethasone, selected as models for a biologic and a small hydrophobic molecule, respectively. CONCLUSION The TCP-thermoresponsive HA hydrogel composite developed in this work can be used for preparing synthetic bone substitutes in the form of injectable or mouldable pastes and can be supplemented with small hydrophobic molecules or biologics for improved osteoinductivity.

Abstract
Periodic leg movements in sleep (PLMS) occur frequently in the sleep of elderly persons but their significance is unknown. In this study, 63 elderly persons with symptoms of insomnia but without history of renal disease were evaluated polysomnographically. All received laboratory evaluations for blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine and completed a questionnaire on sleep complaints. Results indicated a positive relationship between PLMS and urea nitrogen in elderly women. In addition, symptoms of leg twitching and prolonged sleep latency could distinguish arbitrarily formed high and low PLMS groups. These results suggest that PLMS could be a window on the age-related decline in renal function and that these movements are related to several highly specific symptoms of geriatric insomnia.
