Abstract
Although three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques are used to mimic macro- and micro-structures as well as multi-structural human tissues in tissue engineering, efficient target tissue regeneration requires bioactive 3D printing scaffolds. In this study, we developed a bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-immobilized polycaprolactone (PCL) 3D printing scaffold with leaf-stacked structure (LSS) (3D-PLSS-BMP) as a bioactive patient-tailored bone graft. The unique LSS was introduced on the strand surface of the scaffold via heating/cooling in tetraglycol without significant deterioration in physical properties. The BMP-2 adsorbed on3D-PLSS-BMPwas continuously released from LSS over a period of 32 d. The LSS can be a microtopographical cue for improved focal cell adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation.In vitrocell culture andin vivoanimal studies demonstrated the biological (bioactive BMP-2) and physical (microrough structure) mechanisms of3D-PLSS-BMPfor accelerated bone regeneration. Thus, bioactive molecule-immobilized 3D printing scaffold with LSS represents a promising physically and biologically activated bone graft as well as an advanced tool for widespread application in clinical and research fields.

Abstract
Although biological therapies based on growth factors and transplanted cells have demonstrated some positive outcomes for intervertebral disc (IVD) regeneration, repeated injection of growth factors and cell leakage from the injection site remain considerable challenges for human therapeutic use. Herein, we prepare human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) and transforming growth factor-β3 (TGF-β3)-loaded porous particles with a unique leaf-stack structural morphology (LSS particles) as a combination bioactive delivery matrix for degenerated IVD. The LSS particles are fabricated with clinically acceptable biomaterials (polycaprolactone and tetraglycol) and procedures (simple heating and cooling). The LSS particles allow sustained release of TGF-β3 for 18 days and stable cell adhesiveness without additional modifications of the particles. On the basis of in vitro and in vivo studies, it was observed that the hBMSCs/TGF-β3-loaded LSS particles can provide a suitable milieu for chondrogenic differentiation of hBMSCs and effectively induce IVD regeneration in a beagle dog model. Thus, therapeutically loaded LSS particles offer the promise of an effective bioactive delivery system for regeneration of various tissues including IVD.

Abstract
Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 has been shown to regulate many cellular functions including cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, as well as angiogenesis in a variety of tissues, including skin, blood vessel, muscle, adipose, tendon/ligament, cartilage, bone, tooth, and nerve. These multiple functions make FGF-2 an attractive component for wound healing and tissue engineering constructs; however, the stability of FGF-2 is widely accepted to be a major concern for the development of useful medicinal products. Many approaches have been reported in the literature for preserving the biological activity of FGF-2 in aqueous solutions. Most of these efforts were directed at sustaining FGF-2 activity for cell culture research, with a smaller number of studies seeking to develop sustained release formulations of FGF-2 for tissue engineering applications. The stabilisation approaches may be classified into the broad classes of ionic interaction modification with excipients, chemical modification, and physical adsorption and encapsulation with carrier materials. This review discusses the underlying causes of FGF-2 instability and provides an overview of the approaches reported in the literature for stabilising FGF-2 that may be relevant for clinical applications. Although efforts have been made to stabilise FGF-2 for both in vitro and in vivo applications with varying degrees of success, the lack of comprehensive published stability data for the final FGF-2 products represents a substantial gap in the current knowledge, which has to be addressed before viable products for wider tissue engineering applications can be developed to meet regulatory authorisation.

Abstract
Tailoring of chitosan through the involvement of its amino, acetamido, and hydroxy groups can give derivatives of enhanced solubility and remarkable anticancer activity. The general mechanism of such activity is associated with the disturbances in normal functioning of cell cycle, interference to the central dogma of biological system from DNA to RNA to protein or enzymatic synthesis, and the disruption of hormonal path to biosynthesis to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Both chitosan and its various derivatives have been reported to selectively permeate through the cancer cell membranes and show anticancer activity through the cellular enzymatic, antiangiogenic, immunoenhancing, antioxidant defense mechanism, and apoptotic pathways. They get sequestered from noncancer cells and provide their enhanced bioavailability in cancer cells in a sustained release manner. This review presents the putative mechanisms of anticancer activity of chitosan and mechanistic approaches of structure activity relation upon the modification of chitosan through functionalization, complex formation, and graft copolymerization to give different derivatives.

Abstract
Several drug delivery systems already exist for the encapsulation and subsequent release of lipophilic drugs that are well described in the scientific literature. Among these, lipid nanoparticles (LNP) have specifically come up for dermal, transdermal, mucosal, intramuscular and ocular drug administration routes in the last twenty years. However, for some of them (especially dermal, transdermal, mucosal), the LNP aqueous dispersions display unsuitable rheological properties. They therefore need to be processed as semi-solid formulations such as LNP-hydrogel composites to turn into versatile drug delivery systems able to provide precise spatial and temporal control of active ingredient release. In the present review, recent developments in the formulation of lipid nanoparticle-hydrogel composites are highlighted, including examples of successful encapsulation and release of lipophilic drugs through the skin, the eyes and by intramuscular injections. In relation to lipid nanoparticles, a specific emphasis has been put on the LNP key properties and how they influence their inclusion in the hydrogel. Polymer matrices include synthetic polymers such as poly(acrylic acid)-based materials, environment responsive (especially thermo-sensitive) polymers, and innovative polysaccharide-based hydrogels. The composite materials constitute smart, tunable drug delivery systems with a wide range of features, suitable for dermal, transdermal, and intramuscular controlled drug release.

Abstract
Sustained release of bioactive molecules from delivery systems is a common strategy for ensuring their prolonged bioactivity and for minimizing safety issues. However, residual toxic reagents, the use of harsh organic solvents, and complex fabrication procedures in conventional delivery systems are considered enormous impediments toward clinical use. Herein, we describe bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-immobilized porous polycaprolactone particles with unique leaf-stacked structures (LSS particles) prepared using clinically feasible materials and procedures. The BMP-2 immobilized in these LSS particles is continuously released up to 36 days to provide an appropriate environment for osteogenic differentiation of human periosteum-derived cells and new bone formation. Thus, the leaf-stacked structures of these LSS particles provide a simple but clinically applicable platform for effectively delivering a variety of bioactive molecules, such as growth factors, hormones, cytokines, peptides, etc.

Abstract
Wounds are of a variety of types and each category has its own distinctive healing requirements. This realization has spurred the development of a myriad of wound dressings, each with specific characteristics. It is unrealistic to expect a singular dressing to embrace all characteristics that would fulfill generic needs for wound healing. However, each dressing may approach the ideal requirements by deviating from the 'one size fits all approach', if it conforms strictly to the specifications of the wound and the patient. Indeed, a functional wound dressing should achieve healing of the wound with minimal time and cost expenditures. This article offers an insight into several different types of polymeric materials clinically used in wound dressings and the events taking place at cellular level, which aid the process of healing, while the biomaterial dressing interacts with the body tissue. Hence, the significance of using synthetic polymer films, foam dressings, hydrocolloids, alginate dressings, and hydrogels has been reviewed, and the properties of these materials that conform to wound-healing requirements have been explored. A special section on bioactive dressings and bioengineered skin substitutes that play an active part in healing process has been re-examined in this work.

Abstract
Heparin, a sulfated polysaccharide belonging to the glycosaminoglycan family, has been widely used as an anticoagulant drug for decades and remains the most commonly used parenteral anticoagulant in adults and children. However, heparin has important clinical limitations and is derived from animal sources which pose significant safety and supply problems. The ever growing shortage of the raw material for heparin manufacturing may become a very significant issue in the future. These global limitations have prompted much research, especially following the recent well-publicized contamination scandal, into the development of alternative anticoagulants derived from non-animal and/or totally synthetic sources that mimic the structural features and properties of heparin. Such compounds, termed heparin mimetics, are also needed as anticoagulant materials for use in biomedical applications (e.g., stents, grafts, implants etc.). This review encompasses the development of heparin mimetics of various structural classes, including synthetic polymers and non-carbohydrate small molecules as well as sulfated oligo- and polysaccharides, and fondaparinux derivatives and conjugates, with a focus on developments in the past 10 years.

Abstract
Over centuries, the field of regenerative skin tissue engineering has had several advancements to facilitate faster wound healing and thereby restoration of skin. Skin tissue regeneration is mainly based on the use of suitable scaffold matrices. There are several scaffold types, such as porous, fibrous, microsphere, hydrogel, composite and acellular, etc., with discrete advantages and disadvantages. These scaffolds are either made up of highly biocompatible natural biomaterials, such as collagen, chitosan, etc., or synthetic materials, such as polycaprolactone (PCL), and poly-ethylene-glycol (PEG), etc. Composite scaffolds, which are a combination of natural or synthetic biomaterials, are highly biocompatible with improved tensile strength for effective skin tissue regeneration. Appropriate knowledge of the properties, advantages and disadvantages of various biomaterials and scaffolds will accelerate the production of suitable scaffolds for skin tissue regeneration applications. At the same time, emphasis on some of the leading challenges in the field of skin tissue engineering, such as cell interaction with scaffolds, faster cellular proliferation/differentiation, and vascularization of engineered tissues, is inevitable. In this review, we discuss various types of scaffolding approaches and biomaterials used in the field of skin tissue engineering and more importantly their future prospects in skin tissue regeneration efforts.

Abstract
Heparin is a naturally occurring, highly sulfated polysaccharide that plays a critical role in a range of different biological processes. Therapeutically, it is mostly commonly used as an injectable solution as an anticoagulant for a variety of indications, although it has also been employed in other forms such as coatings on various biomedical devices. Due to the diverse functions of this polysaccharide in the body, including anticoagulation, tissue regeneration, anti-inflammation, and protein stabilization, and drawbacks of its use, analogous heparin-mimicking materials are also widely studied for therapeutic applications. This review focuses on one type of these materials, namely, synthetic heparin-mimicking polymers. Utilization of these polymers provides significant benefits compared to heparin, including enhancing therapeutic efficacy and reducing side effects as a result of fine-tuning heparin-binding motifs and other molecular characteristics. The major types of the various polymers are summarized, as well as their applications. Because development of a broader range of heparin-mimicking materials would further expand the impact of these polymers in the treatment of various diseases, future directions are also discussed.

Abstract
Heparin is a highly sulfated polysaccharide and is useful because of its diverse biological functions. However, because of batch-to-batch variability and other factors, there is significant interest in preparing biomimetics of heparin. To identify polymeric heparin mimetics, a cell-based screening assay was developed in cells that express fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) but not heparan sulfate proteoglycans. Various sulfated and sulfonated polymers were screened, and poly(vinyl sulfonate) (pVS) was identified as the strongest heparin-mimicking polymer in its ability to enhance binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to FGFR. The results were confirmed by an ELISA-based receptor-binding assay. Different molecular weights of pVS polymer were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The polymers were able to facilitate dimerization of FGFRs leading to cell proliferation in FGFR-expressing cells, and no size dependence was observed. The data showed that pVS is comparable to heparin in these assays. In addition, pVS was not cytotoxic to fibroblast cells up to at least 1 mg/mL. Together this data indicates that pVS should be explored further as a replacement for heparin.

Natural and synthetic polymers for wounds and burns dressing. Int J Pharm 2013; 463:127-36.

Abstract
In the last years, health care professionals faced with an increasing number of patients suffering from wounds and burns difficult to treat and heal. During the wound healing process, the dressing protects the injury and contributes to the recovery of dermal and epidermal tissues. Because their biocompatibility, biodegradability and similarity to macromolecules recognized by the human body, some natural polymers such as polysaccharides (alginates, chitin, chitosan, heparin, chondroitin), proteoglycans and proteins (collagen, gelatin, fibrin, keratin, silk fibroin, eggshell membrane) are extensively used in wounds and burns management. Obtained by electrospinning technique, some synthetic polymers like biomimetic extracellular matrix micro/nanoscale fibers based on polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, polyacrylic acid, poly-ɛ-caprolactone, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, exhibit in vivo and in vitro wound healing properties and enhance re-epithelialization. They provide an optimal microenvironment for cell proliferation, migration and differentiation, due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, peculiar structure and good mechanical properties. Thus, synthetic polymers are used also in regenerative medicine for cartilage, bone, vascular, nerve and ligament repair and restoration. Biocompatible with fibroblasts and keratinocytes, tissue engineered skin is indicated for regeneration and remodeling of human epidermis and wound healing improving the treatment of severe skin defects or partial-thickness burn injuries.

Abstract
Explorations of the therapeutic potential of heparin mimetics, anionic compounds that are analogues of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), have gone hand-in-hand with the emergence of understanding as to the role of GAGs in many essential biological processes. A myriad of structurally different heparin mimetics have been prepared and examined in many diverse applications. They range in complexity from heterogeneous polysaccharides that have been chemically sulphated to well-defined compounds, designed in part to mimic the natural ligand, but with binding specificity and potency increased by conjugation to non-carbohydrate pharmacophores. The maturity of the field is illustrated by the seven heparin mimetics that have achieved marketing approval and there are several more in late-stage clinical development. An overview of the structural determinants of heparin mimetics is presented together with an indication of their activities. The challenges in developing heparin mimetics as drugs, specificity and potential toxicity issues, are highlighted. Finally, the development path of three structurally very different mimetics, PI-88(®), GMI-1070 and RGTAs, each of which is in clinical trials, is described.

Abstract
Research on multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for biomedicines has experienced rapid growth because of the progressive advancements in nanotechnology and in modern biotechnology. However, the design of multifunctional surfaces on magnetic nanoparticles generally lacks a systematic approach. This article will try to unfold the complex chemistry in constructing a multifunctional surface, and layout a simplified guide for researchers to follow, particularly those from nonchemistry backgrounds. A number of design principles with critical rationales are to be introduced and followed by four main strategies: multifunctionality on a polymer chain, use of block copolymers, cocondensation of alkoxysilanes and of the secondary reaction on groups, with a particular reference to the use of alkoxysilanes. Nanoparticles of higher complexity are expected to be reported in the near future. These advanced systems are likely to be designed from some more logical, strategic mechanisms rather than the 'pick-and-mix' approaches we have seen in the last decade.

Abstract
Dextran derivatives that mimic the action of heparin have been shown to protect heparin-binding growth factors, such as Transforming Growth Factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LS21 DMCBSu, a dextran derivative which contains methylcarboxylate, benzylamide and sulfate groups, both by itself and when combined with TGF-beta1 and FGF-2, on the behaviour of fibroblasts. Two systems were assessed: a monolayer culture and three-dimensional collagenous matrices (dermal equivalent). Polymeric biomaterial LS21 DMCBSu and LS21 DMCBSu associated with either TGF-beta1 or FGF-2, were added to the monolayer culture on day 3. After 7 days of culture the number of cells was determined. Two treatments were carried out on the dermal equivalents: 9 days of treatment from day 0 to day 9 of culture and 9 days of treatment from day 21 to day 30 of culture for the premature and the mature dermal equivalents respectively. In the monolayer culture, the bioactive polymer produced a slight increase in fibroblast growth (10% with 10 microg/ml of LS21 DMCBSu) and promoted the stimulating effect of the growth factors on cell growth. In the premature dermal equivalents growth was stimulated by 20% when 10 microg/ml LS21 DMCBSu was added. The dextran derivative mixed with TGF-beta1 slightly inhibited the growth effect of the growth factor in the dermal equivalents. The functionalized dextran with FGF-2 enhanced the stimulating effect of the growth factor in the premature dermal equivalent. A significant increase in cell growth was observed with the fibroblasts treated with the FGF-2 LS21 DMCBSu mixture and FGF-2 (51% and 40%, respectively). However, none of the described treatments affected the cell growth in the mature dermal equivalent. Furthermore, the dextran derivative had no effect on dermal contraction under these experimental conditions (3D culture).

Abstract
Controlling the non-specific adsorption of proteins, cells and bacteria onto biomaterial surfaces is of crucial importance for the development of medical devices with specific levels of performance. Among the strategies pursued to control the interactions between material surfaces and biological tissues, the immobilization of non-fouling polymers on biomaterial surfaces as well as the synthesis of the so-called biomimetic polymers are considered promising approaches to elicit specific cellular responses. In this study, in order to obtain materials able to prevent infectious and thrombotic complications related to the use of blood-contacting medical devices, heparin-mimetic segmented polyurethanes were synthesized and fully characterized. Specifically, sulfate or sulfamate groups, known to be responsible for the biological activity of heparin, were introduced into the side chain of a carboxylated polyurethane. Due to the introduction of these groups, the obtained polymers possessed a higher hard/soft phase segregation (lower glass transition temperatures) and a greater hydrophilicity than the pristine polymer. In addition, the synthesized polymers were able to significantly delay the activated partial thromboplastin time, this increased hemocompatibility being related both to polymer hydrophilicity and to the presence of the -SO3H groups. This last feature was also responsible for the ability of these biomimetic polymers to prevent the adhesion of a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis.

Abstract
In this publication different detachment factors were tested for enhancing carrier to carrier transfer for scale-up of macroporous microcarrier based bioprocesses. Two Chinese hamster ovary cell lines, CHO-K1 and a genetically engineered CHO-K1 derived cell line (CHO-MPS), producing recombinant human Arylsulfatase B, were examined. The cells were grown on Cytoline 1microcarriers (Amersham Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden) in protein-free and chemically defined medium respectively. Fully colonised microcarriers were used at passage ratios of approximately 1:10 for carrier to carrier transfer experiments. To accelerate the colonisation of the non-colonised, freshly added microcarriers the detachment reagents trypsin, papain, Accutasetrade mark (PAA, Linz, Austria), heparin and dextransulphate were used. Both cell lines showed good results with trypsin, Accutase and dextransulphate (Amersham Biosciences, Uppsala, Sweden), while papain failed to enhance carrier to carrier transfer in comparison to the non-treated reference. The maximum growth rate of cells on microcarriers with 2% dextransulphate in the medium was 0.25 +/- 0.02d(-1) and 0.27 +/- 0.03d(-1) for the CHO-MPS and CHO-K1, respectively. TheCHO-K1 grew best after detachment with trypsin (mu = 0.36 +/- 0.03d(-1)). This indicates, that one of the key parameters for carrier to carrier transfer is the uniform distribution of cells on the individual carriers during the initial phase. When this distribution can be improved, growth rate increases, resulting in a faster and more stable process.

Abstract
In order to induce the chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in tissue engineering, a variety of growth factors have been adapted and encouraging results have been demonstrated. In this study, we developed a delivery system for dual growth factors using a gelation rate controllable alginate solution (containing BMP-7) and polyion complex nanoparticles (containing TGF-beta(2)) to be applied for the chondrogenesis of MSCs. The dual growth factors (BMP-7/TGF-beta(2))-loaded nanoparticle/hydrogel system showed a controlled release of both growth factors: a faster release of BMP-7 and a slower release of TGF-beta(2), ca., approximately 80 and 30% release at the end of an incubation period (21 days), respectively, which may be highly desirable for chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs. On the contrary, the release of each growth factor from the dual growth factors-loaded hydrogel (without the nanoparticles) was much slower than that of the nanoparticle/hydrogel system, approximately 36% (BMP-7) and 16% (TGF-beta(2)) for 21 days, and this is more than likely attributed to the aggregation between growth factors during the hydrogel fabrication step. The nanoparticle/hydrogel system with separate growth factor loading may provide desirable growth factor delivery kinetics for cartilage regeneration, as well as the chondrogenesis of MSCs.

Abstract
In the present study, we explored the binding capacity of synthetic heparin-like dextran derivatives to recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), a heparin-binding osteoinductive growth factor. Affinity electrophoresis analysis provided evidence that carboxymethylated dextran polymers grafted with high amounts of benzylamide groups (named DMCB) interact with BMP-2. The capability of such polysaccharides to potentiate the growth factor biological activity was then investigated. In vitro, DMCB dose-dependently promoted osteoblast differentiation induced by BMP-2 in C2C12 myoblasts more efficiently than heparin. A screening study provided evidence that the potentiating effects of the dextran derivatives on the BMP-2-induced alkaline phosphatase activity improved with their benzylamide groups content and, therefore, with their affinity for the growth factor. The biological activity of BMP-2 was monitored in the culture medium after 6 days using C2C12 cells (containing a BMP sensitive luciferase reporter gene). Like heparin, DMCB sustained the biological activity of the growth factor; this result suggests that the formation of the BMP-2/DMCB complex may protect the protein from being inactivated. In rats in vivo, DMCB also stimulated ectopic calcification mediated by BMP-2. These data indicate that dextran-based polysaccharides prolong the half-life of the growth factor and promote its biological activity.

Abstract
A paradigm shift is taking place in orthopaedic and reconstructive surgery from using medical devices and tissue grafts to a tissue engineering approach that uses biodegradable scaffolds combined with cells or biological molecules to repair and/or regenerate tissues. One of the potential benefits offered by solid free-form fabrication technology (SFF) is the ability to create scaffolds with highly reproducible architecture and compositional variation across the entire scaffold, due to its tightly controlled computer-driven fabrication. In this review, we define scaffold properties and attempt to provide some broad criteria and constraints for scaffold design in bone engineering.We also discuss the application-specific modifications driven by surgeon's requirements in vitro and/or in vivo. Next, we review the current use of SFF techniques in scaffold fabrication in the context of their clinical use in bone regeneration. Lastly, we comment on future developments in our groups, such as the functionalization of novel composite scaffolds with combinations of growth factors; and more specifically the promising area of heparan sulphate polysaccaride immobilization within the bone tissue engineering arena.

Abstract
OTR4120, which belongs to a family of heparan sulfate-mimetic polymers, promotes tissue repair when injected locally in doses of a few micrograms. As OTR4120 is a sulfated polysaccharide, we investigated its possible role on the coagulation cascade. We used both in vitro and in vivo assays. Increases in clotting times (thrombin time, prothrombin time, and activated partial thromboplastin time) occurred with OTR4120 in doses at least 10 times lower than heparin. OTR4120 dose-dependently inhibited the biological activity of thrombin and bound thrombin with an affinity of 14 +/- 2 nM. SDS-PAGE showed that OTR4120 induced the formation of covalently linked complexes between antithrombin III or heparin cofactor II and thrombin. OTR4120 induced anticoagulant effects, and antithrombin activity was greatest 90 min after intraperitoneal injection. No bleeding or significant platelet count changes occurred with doses smaller than 55 mg/kg. Interestingly, orally administered OTR4120 crossed the gastrointestinal barrier and, in a dose of 70 mg/kg, induced significant ex vivo antithrombotic activity in the bloodstream.

Abstract
Polysaccharide microarrays have great potential for the high-throughput analysis of polysaccharide-protein interactions. Here we demonstrate that a polysaccharide microarray prepared by printing a library of dextran polymers derivatized by methylcarboxylate, benzylamide, and sulfate groups (DMCBSu compounds) on to glass slides permitted the rapid identification of a set of compounds able to interact with the platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) isoform, a growth factor involved in wound healing. Microarray interaction results were compared to the capacity of DMCBSu compounds to potentiate the in vitro PDGF-BB-induced proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts.

Abstract
Dextran derivatives can protect heparin binding growth factor implied in wound healing, such as transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). The first aim of this study was to investigate the effect of these compounds on human dermal fibroblasts in culture with or without TGF-beta1. Several dextran derivatives obtained by substitution of methylcarboxylate (MC), benzylamide (B) and sulphate (Su) groups were used to determine the effects of each compound on fibroblast growth in vitro. The data indicate that sulphate groups are essential to act on the fibroblast proliferation. The dextran derivative LS21 DMCBSu has been chosen to investigate its effect on dermal wound healing process. Fibroblasts cultured in collagenous matrices named dermal equivalent were treated with the bioactive polymer alone or associated to TGF-beta1 or FGF-2. Cross-sections of dermal equivalent observed by histology or immunohistochemistry, demonstrated that the bioactive polymer accelerates the collagen matrices organization and stimulates the human type-III collagen expression. This bioactive polymer induces apoptosis of myofibroblast, property which may be beneficial in treatment of hypertrophic scar. Culture media analyzed by zymography and Western blot showed that this polymer significantly increases the secretion of zymogen and active form of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), involved in granulation tissue formation. These data suggest that this bioactive polymer has properties which may be beneficial in the treatment of wound healing.

Abstract
Prototype daptomycin-dextran macromolecular conjugates were prepared in an attempt to modify the biodistribution and protein-binding properties of daptomycin. Synthesis of daptomycin macromolecular conjugates involved dextran activation, daptomycin-dextran coupling, and purification. The reaction mixtures were separated on a Sephadex G-100 column using 10% acetronitrile in water as a mobile phase. UV and fluorescence characteristics of high molecular weight fractions demonstrated imine product formation while the lower molecular weight fractions contained free daptomycin, imine, and anilide products. Daptomycin macromolecular conjugates were characterized by drug loading, drug release, and binding affinity for fibrinogen using HPLC analysis and surface plasmon resonance. Drug loading was calculated to be 160mg of daptomycin per gram of macromolecule. Approximately 9% of the conjugated daptomycin was released from the macromolecular conjugates in aqueous media in the pH range of 1-7.4. The conjugates possessed higher affinity for fibrinogen than that of daptomycin.

Abstract
Growth and lineage-specific differentiation constitute crucial phases in the development of stem cells. Control over these processes is exerted by particular elements of the extracellular matrix, which ultimately trigger a cascade of signals that regulate uncommitted cells, by modulating their survival and cell cycle progression, to shape developmental processes. Uncontrolled, constitutive activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFR) results in bone abnormalities, underlining the stringent control over fibroblast growth factor (FGF) activity that must be maintained for normal osteogenesis to proceed. Mounting evidence suggests that FGF signalling, together with a large number of other growth and adhesive factors, is controlled by the extracellular glycosaminoglycan sugar, heparan sulfate (HS). In this review, we focus on FGF activity during osteogenesis, their receptors, and the use of HS as a therapeutic adjuvant for bone repair.

Abstract
Fucoidans are sulfated fucosylated polymers from brown algae cell wall that exhibit some heparin/heparan sulfate properties. We previously demonstrated that these polysaccharides were able in vitro to stimulate dermal fibroblast proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition. Here, we investigated the action of a 16kDa fucoidan fraction on parameters involved in connective tissue breakdown. This fucoidan is able to inhibit gelatinase A secretion and stromelysin 1 induction by interleukin-1beta on dermal fibroblasts in culture. Furthermore, we observed that fucoidan increases the rate of association of MMPs with their specific inhibitors namely TIMPs. Using tissue sections of human skin in ex vivo experiments, we evidenced that this polysaccharide was able to minimize human leukocyte elastase activity resulting in the protection of human skin elastic fiber network against the enzymatic proteolysis due to this serine proteinase. These results suggested that fucoidan could be used for treating some inflammatory pathologies in which uncontrolled extracellular matrix degradation takes place.

Abstract
A series of segmented multiblock polyurethanes (MPUs) were synthesized by polyaddition reaction using hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO, as a hydrophilic component)/ poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO)/ poly(butadiene diol)(PBD)/1,4-butanediol(BD)/(2-[bis(2-hydroxyethyl) methyl ammonio]ethyl stearyl phosphate)[BESP, as a phospholipids component: 0-42 mol% (0-9 wt%)]. To improve the blood compatibility of biomedical grade polyurethane (Pellethene), the Pellethene was blended with MPUs and then crosslinked using dicumyl peroxide as a crosslinking agent. Effects of BESP content [0-42 mol% (0-9 wt%)] in MPUs on the properties of MPUs and blend (Pellethene/MPUs) films were investigated. The X-ray photoelectron spectra indicated that the BESP moieties were located at the surface of the crosslinked blend (Pellethene/MPUs) films. As the BESP content in MPUs increased, the water contact angle on the surfaces of crosslinked blend film was decreased but the water absorption and mechanical properties were markedly increased. By the test of platelet adhesion on the surfaces of crosslinked blend film, it was found that the platelet adhesion on the surface was significantly decreased from 70% to 6% by increasing BESP content from 0 to 42 mol% (0-9 wt%) in MPUs. These results suggest that crosslinked blend films may have more potential as a new material for biomedical applications, which are directly in contact with blood.

Abstract
Functionalized dextrans (FD) are anionic water-soluble polymers bearing carboxylate, benzylamide and sulfate groups, which exhibit binding capacity to transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1). In this paper, we have investigated the ability of dextran-based hydrogels containing FD, to bind and release recombinant human TGF-beta1. Hydrogels were prepared by chemical crosslink native dextran and FD with sodium trimetaphosphate in 1m NaOH at 50 degrees C. A wide range of hydrogels were prepared as particles ranging of 1-1.6mm of diameter and characterized with various amounts of FD and with different crosslinker feeding ratios (CFR). Dried particles were soaked with recombinant human transforming growth factor-beta1 (rhTGF-beta1) to determine their capacity to deliver the growth factor. Results indicated that the in vitro kinetics releases of rhTGF-beta1 were related to FD and CFR. Retention capacity of rhTGF-beta1 increases with an increase of negative charges of the matrices brought by both phosphate linkages and FD as demonstrated by an additional release of growth factor in high ionic strength solution. Highly crosslinked hydrogels that contained the highest amount of FD (18% (w/w)) retained up to 88% of rhTGF-beta1. Bioactivity of released growth factor was confirmed in a cell assay. These functionalized hydrogels may have important uses for the stabilization and the protection of rhTGF-beta1 as entrapment systems and could be applied to other proteins of clinical interest.

Abstract
Clinically used anticoagulants are inhibitors of enzymes involved in the coagulation pathway, primarily thrombin and factor Xa. These agents can be either direct or indirect inhibitors of clotting enzymes. Heparin-based anticoagulants are indirect inhibitors that enhance the proteinase inhibitory activity of a natural anticoagulant, antithrombin. Despite its phenomenal success, current anticoagulation therapy suffers from the risk of serious bleeding. The need for safer and more effective antithrombotic agents clearly exists. The past decade has seen enormous effort directed toward discovering and/or designing new molecules with anticoagulant activity. These new molecules can be classified into (a). antithrombin and its mutants, (b). natural polysaccharides, (c). synthetic modified heparins and heparin-mimics, (d). synthetic oligosaccharides, and (e). synthetic non-sugar antithrombin activators. This review focuses on these efforts in designing or discovering new molecules that act through the antithrombin pathway of anticoagulation.

Abstract
Polysaccharides were sequentially extracted from the agarophyte Gracilaria corticata. Chemical analysis combined with infrared spectroscopy showed that the cold water extracted material consists mainly of a high molecular weight sulfated galactan. Most of the sulfate groups are alkali labile and are located at C-4 of the 1,3-linked D-galactose units and C-6 of the 1,4-linked L-galactose residues. The autoclaved extracts contain agar type polysaccharide having a high pyruvate content and a variable degree of methylation, but were contaminated with floridean starch. 1H-NMR studies indicate that methoxyl groups, when present, occur at C-6 of the 1,3-linked D-galactose units and C-2 of the 1,4-linked L-galactose residues of agar polymer. Bioassays showed that a high molecular weight galactan sulfate, exhibited selective antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, likely due to an inhibition of the initial virus attachment to the host cell.

Abstract
Mono- and disaccharide-containing glycopolymers were synthesized by two different free-radical processes, and their ability to act as heparan sulfate glycomimetics in promoting the binding of Fibroblast Growth Factor-2 (FGF-2) to its receptor (FGFR-1) was evaluated using an in vitro cell-based assay. Cyanoxyl (*OC triple bond N)-mediated polymerization of acrylamide with alkene-derivatized mono- and disaccharides including sulfated or nonsulfated N-acetyl-D-glucosamine is described. The results of this approach are compared to those obtained via the classical ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS)/N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) initiating system and confirm the capacity of cyanoxyl-mediated polymerization to generate a variety of glycopolymers with high saccharide contents and low polydispersity indexes. In vitro assays demonstrate that specific glycopolymers can potentiate FGF-2/FGFR-1 binding interactions.

Abstract
A method has been developed in which a layer of p-aminosalicylic acid (4-amino-2-hydroxybenzoic acid) (PAS), a water soluble pharmaceutical compound of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class with antiaggregant platelet activity, is covalently immobilized onto a segmented polyurethane, Biospan (SPU) surface. Thus, SPU surfaces were modified by grafting of hexamethylenediisocyanate. and the free isocyanate remaining on the SPU surface were then coupled through a condensation reaction to amine groups of p-aminosalicylic acid. The bonding of PAS from aqueous solution onto SPU surface was studied by ATR-FTIR. UV and fluorescence spectroscopy. Plateau levels of coupled PAS were reached within 1.2 microg/cm2 using PAS solution concentrations of 1mg/ ml. The surface wettability of the polymeric films measured by contact angle indicate that the introduction of the PAS turns the surface more hydrophilic (theta(water) = 43.1 +/- 2.1) relatively to the original SPU films (theta(water) = 70.3 +/- 1.9). The in vitro albumin (BSA) adsorption shows that the PAS-SPU films adsorb more BSA (250/microgmm2) than the original SPU (112 microg mm2). Thrombogenicity was assessed by measuring the thrombus formation and platelet adhesion of the SPU containing PAS relatively to nonmodified SPU surfaces. The polymeric surfaces with immobilized PAS had better nonthrombogenic characteristics as indicated by the low platelet adhesion, high adsorption of albumin relatively to fibrinogen and low thrombus formation, making them potentially good candidates for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta), a potent multifunctional cytokine, is well known to demonstrate heparin binding ability. This study investigated the binding capacity of heparin-like family of chemically modified dextrans to TGFbeta1. Dextran derivatives with various substitution contents in carboxymethyl, benzylamide and sulfate groups were evaluated using a gel mobility shift assay. This structure-function study indicated that a synergistic role of benzylamide and sulfate substituents resulted in an optimal interaction with the growth factor. The effect of these polymers on the biological response of TGFbeta1 was assessed using mink lung epithelial cells transfected with a plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 promoter-luciferase construct (PAI/Luc). When the growth factor was mixed with 250 microg/mL of carboxymethyl-benzylamide-dextran (DCMB) or carboxymethyl-benzylamide-sulfate-dextran (DCMBSu), the luciferase gene expression was enhanced. Only polymers exhibiting TGFbeta1 binding demonstrated a biological potentiating effect. However, this effect was strongly amplified as the cell plating time increased (35-fold increase with a 2 days plating time versus 1.1-fold increase with a 4 hr plating time at a 0.25 ng/mL concentration of TGFbeta1). TGFbeta1 induced the PAI/Luc construct in a dose-dependent fashion but its effect diminished when added to cells previously cultured for 24 and 48 hr. The results indicated that the potentiating effect required a complex formation between TGFbeta1 and polymers, the action of which seeming to locally maintain TGFbeta1 in an active form. TGFbeta isoforms playing a key role in the process of bone repair, specifically designed functionalized dextrans could potentiate the in vivo TGFbeta1 biological effect and be used in the field of wound healing applications.

Abstract
We have studied the cytostatic effects of sodium phenylacetate (NaPA) in association with several substituted dextrans on human tumor melanoma 1205LU cells. We show that NaPA alone inhibits the growth of these cells (IC50 = 3.9 mM) while a weak inhibitory effect appears at a concentration of 37 microM (10 microg/ml) for a dextran methyl carboxylate benzylamide (LS17-DMCB). The precursors of LS17-DMCB [T40 Dextran and carboxymethyl dextran (LS17-DMC)] did not affect the growth of 1205LU cells. To potentiate the inhibitory activity of NaPA at low concentrations (below 5.6 mM), we have tested NaPA and LS17-DMCB in physical mixture (association) or linked together covalently (this conjugate is termed 'LS17-NaPaC'). We have observed an increase of the 1205LU cell growth inhibition effect with NaPA in association (IC50 1.8 mM). For a concentration of 5 mM of NaPA (free in the case of association or linked in the case of conjugate), the association with dextran derivative exhibits a 4.6-fold higher efficacy than with NaPA alone (9 versus 41% surviving fraction), while the conjugate is 1.3-fold smaller (52% growth inhibition). By performing isobologram analysis of the IC50 data, we have shown a synergistic effect for a particular molar ratio of NaPA and LS17-DMCB (NaPA:LS17-DMCB = 0.35).

Abstract
Dextranmethylcarboxylate benzylamide sulfate (DMCBSu), a functionalized dextran, exhibits anticoagulant properties. Its synthesis involves three steps: a carboxymethylation with monochloroacetic acid in alkaline water-iso-propanol, a benzylamidification of some of the methylcarboxylate groups with benzylamine in the presence of a water soluble carbodiimide and a partial sulfation of the remaining hydroxyl groups with SO3-pyridine in dimethylformamide. This procedure yields reproducibly DMCBSu with degrees of substitution in methylcarboxylate (MC), benzylamide (B) and sulfate (Su) groups, respectively, up to 1.61, 0.35 and 1.5, each obtained in one step. For a degree of substitution of methylcarboxylate ca. 1, the presence of sulfate groups is absolutely necessary to confer anticoagulant activities to the samples. In addition, the anticoagulant ability is higher for derivatives bearing benzylamide groups. The anticoagulant ability of DMCBSu increases with the degree of sulfation, reaching 20% of heparin activity for a degree of substitution of Su groups about 1.3.
