[PMID: 38632585 PMCID: PMC11022367 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02449-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 04/01/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Animal-derived biomaterials have been extensively employed in clinical practice owing to their compositional and structural similarities with those of human tissues and organs, exhibiting good mechanical properties and biocompatibility, and extensive sources. However, there is an associated risk of infection with pathogenic microorganisms after the implantation of tissues from pigs, cattle, and other mammals in humans. Therefore, researchers have begun to explore the development of non-mammalian regenerative biomaterials. Among these is the swim bladder, a fish-derived biomaterial that is rapidly used in various fields of biomedicine because of its high collagen, elastin, and polysaccharide content. However, relevant reviews on the biomedical applications of swim bladders as effective biomaterials are lacking. Therefore, based on our previous research and in-depth understanding of this field, this review describes the structures and compositions, properties, and modifications of the swim bladder, with their direct (including soft tissue repair, dural repair, cardiovascular repair, and edible and pharmaceutical fish maw) and indirect applications (including extracted collagen peptides with smaller molecular weights, and collagen or gelatin with higher molecular weights used for hydrogels, and biological adhesives or glues) in the field of biomedicine in recent years. This review provides insights into the use of swim bladders as source of biomaterial; hence, it can aid biomedicine scholars by providing directions for advancements in this field.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4336. [PMID: 38673921 PMCID: PMC11050114 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25084336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
In this present study, the material science background of crosslinked gelatin (GEL) was investigated. The aim was to assess the optimal reaction parameters for the production of a water-insoluble crosslinked gelatin matrix suitable for heat sterilization. Matrices were subjected to enzymatic degradation assessments, and their ability to withstand heat sterilization was evaluated. The impact of different crosslinkers on matrix properties was analyzed. It was found that matrices crosslinked with butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) and poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) were resistant to enzymatic degradation and heat sterilization. Additionally, at 1 v/v % crosslinker concentration, the crosslinked weight was lower than the starting weight, suggesting simultaneous degradation and crosslinking. The crosslinked weight and swelling ratio were optimal in the case of the matrices that were crosslinked with 3% and 5% v/v BDDE and PEGDE. FTIR analysis confirmed crosslinking, and the reduction of free primary amino groups indicated effective crosslinking even at a 1% v/v crosslinker concentration. Moreover, stress-strain and compression characteristics of the 5% v/v BDDE crosslinked matrix were comparable to native gelatin. Based on material science measurements, the crosslinked matrices may be promising candidates for scaffold development, including properties such as resistance to enzymatic degradation and heat sterilization.

Abstract
Valvular heart disease (VHD), clinically manifested as stenosis and regurgitation of native heart valve, is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases with high mortality. Heart valve replacement surgery has been recognized as golden standard for the treatment of VHD. Owing to the clinical application of transcatheter heart valve replacement technic and the excellent hemodynamic performance of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), implantation of BHVs has been increasing over recent years and gradually became the preferred choice for the treatment of VHD. However, BHVs might fail within 10-15 years due to structural valvular degeneration (SVD), which was greatly associated with drawbacks of glutaraldehyde crosslinked BHVs, including cytotoxicity, calcification, component degradation, mechanical failure, thrombosis and immune response. To prolong the service life of BHVs, much effort has been devoted to overcoming the drawbacks of BHVs and reducing the risk of SVD. In this review, we summarized and analyzed the research and progress on: (i) modification strategies based on glutaraldehyde crosslinked BHVs and (ii) nonglutaraldehyde crosslinking strategies for BHVs.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2023; 453:131339.

Abstract
Strict bans on specific risk materials (SRMs) are in place to prevent the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). SRMs are characterized as tissues in cattle where misfolded proteins, the potential source of BSE infection, are concentrated. As a result of these bans, SRMs must be strictly isolated and disposed of, resulting in great costs for rendering companies. The increasing yield and the landfill of SRMs also exacerbated the burden on the environment. To cope with the emergence of SRMs, novel disposal methods and feasible value-added conversion routes are needed. The focus of this review is on the valorization progress achieved in the conversion of peptides derived from SRMs via an alternative disposal method, thermal hydrolysis. Promising value-added conversion of SRM-derived peptides into tackifiers, wood adhesives, flocculants, and bioplastics, is introduced. The potential conjugation strategies that can be adapted to SRM-derived peptides for desired properties are also critically reviewed. The purpose of this review is to discover a technical platform through which other hazardous proteinaceous waste, SRMs, can be treated as a high-demand feedstock for the production of renewable materials.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 867:161531. [PMID: 36638976 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.161531] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Currently, globally, 90 % of the tannery is still tanned by using chrome, resulting in chromium-containing wastewater and chromium-containing solid waste that will cause serious harm to the environment. Under the pressure of environmental protection, on the one hand, the leather manufacturing industry should to dispose the current problem of chromium pollution, especially chromium-containing solid waste (chromium-containing waste leather (CCWL)), on the other hand, to popularize chrome-free tanning agent. Organic chrome-free tanning agents are the way forward for chrome-free tanning agents. However, organic chrome-free tanning agents exhibit several limitations with respect to their preparation and applications: The preparation process is not eco-friendly, and physicochemical properties of tanned crust leather are poor. More importantly, the leather tanned by an organic chrome-free tanning agent has low absorptivity of traditional anionic wet finishing materials, resulting in high total dissolved solids in tannery wastewater, which increased the difficulty of tannery wastewater treatment, and posed a potential threat to the environment. In this study, collagen polypeptide (CP) was extracted by using in situ dechromization and industrial trypsin from CCWL, followed by modification with ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) to obtain an epoxy-terminated, biomass-based, amphoteric organic, chrome-free tanning agent (CP-EGDE) with a high isoelectric point of 5.16, and an epoxy value of 0.316 mol/100 g. CP-EGDE can be applied in the pickling-free and salt-free tanning processes to prepare wet white leather and the tannery wastewater with good degradability. The shrinkage temperature (Ts = 84.9 °C), grain flatness, fullness, softness, yellowing resistance, mechanical properties, absorptivity of traditional anionic fatliquor (88.4 %) and dyes (95.3 %) of CP-EGDE tanned leather exceeded those of commercial organic chrome-free tanning agents. This research considered both environmental protection and leather quality, especially greatly improving the absorptivity of traditional anionic wet finishing materials. CP-EGDE is expected to replace chrome tanning agents and has good application prospects.

Abstract
Inherent cytophobicity of agarose limits its direct use for the growth of anchorage-dependent cells. Here, we report a simple strategy allowing the development of agarose-based hydrogels entailed with both cytophilicity and microstructured morphology. Through the reaction of water-soluble 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) with trifunctional polyetheramine Jeffamine T403 in agarose solution followed by cryogelation of the mixtures, a series of macroporous agarose-epoxide-amine cryogels were prepared readily. Results from fluorescent labeling and energy-dispersive X-ray elemental mapping showed the formation of granulated microstructures in the cryogels. Such features closely correlated to the phase separation of BDDE-T403 polymers within the agarose matrix. Cytophilicity of the microstructured cryogels due to the integrated amine moieties was demonstrated through the adhesion of fibroblasts. Functional enrichment of the cryogels was further highlighted by leveraging the granulates as micro-reservoirs for polyphenol proanthocyanidin to enable antioxidation and protection of fibroblasts from H2O2-induced cytotoxic effect in vitro.

Abstract
Crosslinking of proteins has gained immense significance in the fabrication of biomaterials for various health care applications. Various novel chemical-based strategies are being continuously developed for intra-/inter-molecular crosslinking of proteins to create a network/matrix with desired mechanical/functional properties without imparting toxicity to the host system. Many materials that are used in biomedical and food packaging industries are prepared by chemical means of crosslinking the proteins, besides the physical or enzymatic means of crosslinking. Such chemical methods utilize the chemical compounds or crosslinkers available from natural sources or synthetically generated with the ability to form covalent/non-covalent bonds with proteins. Such linkages are possible with chemicals like carbodiimides/epoxides, while photo-induced novel chemical crosslinkers are also available. In this review, we have discussed different protein crosslinking strategies under chemical methods, along with the corresponding crosslinking reactions/conditions, material properties and significant applications.

Abstract
Modern biocompatible materials of both natural and synthetic origin, in combination with advanced techniques for their processing and functionalization, provide the basis for tissue engineering constructs (TECs) for the effective replacement of specific body defects and guided tissue regeneration. Here we describe TECs fabricated using electrospinning and 3D printing techniques on a base of synthetic (polylactic-co-glycolic acids, PLGA) and natural (collagen, COL, and hyaluronic acid, HA) polymers impregnated with core/shell β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+/NaYF4 upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) for in vitro control of the tissue/scaffold interaction. Polymeric structures impregnated with core/shell β-NaYF4:Yb3+,Er3+/NaYF4 nanoparticles were visualized with high optical contrast using laser irradiation at 976 nm. We found that the photoluminescence spectra of impregnated scaffolds differ from the spectrum of free UCNPs that could be used to control the scaffold microenvironment, polymer biodegradation, and cargo release. We proved the absence of UCNP-impregnated scaffold cytotoxicity and demonstrated their high efficiency for cell attachment, proliferation, and colonization. We also modified the COL-based scaffold fabrication technology to increase their tensile strength and structural stability within the living body. The proposed approach is a technological platform for "smart scaffold" development and fabrication based on bioresorbable polymer structures impregnated with UCNPs, providing the desired photoluminescent, biochemical, and mechanical properties for intravital visualization and monitoring of their behavior and tissue/scaffold interaction in real time.

Abstract
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein found in humans and mammals, particularly in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Its primary function is to hold the body together. The collagen superfamily of proteins includes over 20 types that have been identified. Yet, collagen type I is the major component in many tissues and can be extracted as a natural biomaterial for various medical and biological purposes. Collagen has multiple advantageous characteristics, including varied sources, biocompatibility, sustainability, low immunogenicity, porosity, and biodegradability. As such, collagen-type-I-based bioscaffolds have been widely used in tissue engineering. Biomaterials based on collagen type I can also be modified to improve their functions, such as by crosslinking to strengthen the mechanical property or adding biochemical factors to enhance their biological activity. This review discusses the complexities of collagen type I structure, biosynthesis, sources for collagen derivatives, methods of isolation and purification, physicochemical characteristics, and the current development of collagen-type-I-based scaffolds in tissue engineering applications. The advancement of additional novel tissue engineered bioproducts with refined techniques and continuous biomaterial augmentation is facilitated by understanding the conventional design and application of biomaterials based on collagen type I.

Abstract
Ready-to-eat sea cucumbers (RSC) treated by high pressure steam were easily degraded during storage. Celery (Apium graveolens, AG) and chlorogenic acid (CA) were screened for enhancing the stability of RSC. After RSC cross-linked by AG or CA, the hardness was significantly increased by 108% or 254% at 30 d, and the relaxation time decrease by 31.90 or 39.89 ms, and the proportion of T23 reduced by 0.40% or 1.15%. The crosslinked RSC exhibited smaller pore size with finer collagen fibrils. CA treatment caused the secondary structure changes in RSC. In addition, it also inhibited the break of peptide bonds in RSC collagen, observing the decrease of free hydroxyproline level from 46.63 to 34.53 μg/g, and the reduction of free ammonia nitrogen from 20.96 to 15.30 μmol/g. Therefore, AG and CA will have an important application in RSC processing industry.

Abstract
Abstract
Collagen, as a thermal-sensitive protein, is the most abundant structural protein in animals. Native collagen has been widely applied in various fields due to its specific physicochemical and biological properties. The beneficial properties would disappear with the collapse of the unique triple helical structure during heating. Understanding thermal stability of collagen is of great significance for practical applications. Previous studies have shown the thermal stability would be affected by the different sources, extraction methods, solvent systems in vitro and modified methods. Accordingly, the factors affecting thermal stability of collagen are discussed in detail in this review.

Hybrid Sponge-Like Scaffolds Based on Ulvan and Gelatin: Design, Characterization and Evaluation of Their Potential Use in Bone Tissue Engineering. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 13:E1763.

Abstract
Ulvan, a bioactive natural sulfated polysaccharide, and gelatin, a collagen-derived biopolymer, have attracted interest for the preparation of biomaterials for different biomedical applications, due to their demonstrated compatibility for cell attachment and proliferation. Both ulvan and gelatin have exhibited osteoinductive potential, either alone or in combination with other materials. In the current work, a series of novel hybrid scaffolds based on crosslinked ulvan and gelatin was designed, prepared and characterized. Their mechanical performance, thermal stability, porosity, water-uptake and in vitro degradation ability were assessed, while their morphology was analyzed through scanning electron microscopy. The prepared hybrid ulvan/gelatin scaffolds were characterized by a highly porous and interconnected structure. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) were seeded in selected ulvan/gelatin hybrid scaffolds and their adhesion, survival, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation efficiency was evaluated. Overall, it was found that the prepared hybrid sponge-like scaffolds could efficiently support mesenchymal stem cells' adhesion and proliferation, suggesting that such scaffolds could have potential uses in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Demyelination that results from disease or traumatic injury, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), can have a devastating effect on neural function and recovery. Many researchers are examining treatments to minimize demyelination by improving oligodendrocyte availability in vivo. Transplantation of stem and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells is a promising option, however, trials are plagued by undirected differentiation. Here we introduce a biomaterial that has been optimized to direct the differentiation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs) toward oligodendrocytes as a cell delivery vehicle after SCI. APPROACH A collagen-based hydrogel was modified to mimic the mechanical properties of the neonatal spinal cord, and components present in the developing extracellular matrix were included to provide appropriate chemical cues to the NPCs to direct their differentiation toward oligodendrocytes. The hydrogel with cells was then transplanted into a unilateral cervical contusion model of SCI to examine the functional recovery with this treatment. Six behavioral tests and histological assessment were performed to examine the in vivo response to this treatment. MAIN RESULTS Our results demonstrate that we can achieve a significant increase in oligodendrocyte differentiation of NPCs compared to standard culture conditions using a three-component biomaterial composed of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and laminin that has mechanical properties matched to those of neonatal neural tissue. Additionally, SCI rats with hydrogel transplants, with and without NPCs, showed functional recovery. Animals transplanted with hydrogels with NPCs showed significantly increased functional recovery over six weeks compared to the media control group. SIGNIFICANCE The three-component hydrogel presented here has the potential to provide cues to direct differentiation in vivo to encourage regeneration of the central nervous system.

Abstract
Collagen gels are considered a promising biomaterial for the manufacturing of tissue engineering scaffolds, however, their mechanical properties often need to be improved to enable them to provide enough mechanical support during the course of tissue regeneration process. In this paper, we present a simple self-compression technique for the improvement of the mechanical properties of collagen gels, identified by the fitting of bespoke biphasic finite element models. Radially-confined highly hydrated gels were allowed to self-compress for 18h, expelling fluid, and which were subsequently subjected to unconfined ramp-hold compression. Gels, initially of 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.4% (w/v) collagen and 13mm thickness, transformed to 2.9±0.2%, 3.2±0.3% and 3.6±0.1% (w/w) collagen and 0.45±0.06mm, 0.69±0.04mm and 0.99±0.07mm thickness. Young's moduli of the compressed gels did not increase with increasing collagen fibril density, whilst zero-strain hydraulic permeability significantly decreased from 51 to 21mm4/Ns. The work demonstrates that biphasic theory, applied to unconfined compression, is a highly appropriate paradigm to mechanically characterise concentrated collagen gels and that confined compression of highly hydrated gels should be further investigated to enhance gel mechanical performance.

Fish scale-derived collagen patch promotes growth of blood and lymphatic vessels in vivo. Acta Biomater 2017; 63:246-260.

Abstract
In this study, Type I collagen was extracted from fish scales asa potential alternative source of collagen for tissue engineering applications. Since unmodified collagen typically has poor mechanical and degradation stability both in vitro and in vivo, additional methylation modification and 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDE) crosslinking steps were used to improve the physicochemical properties of fish scale-derived collagen. Subsequently, in vivo studies using a murine model demonstrated the biocompatibility of the different fish scale-derived collagen patches. In general, favorable integration of the collagen patches to the surrounding tissues, with good infiltration of cells, blood vessels (BVs) and lymphatic vessels (LVs) were observed under growth factor-free conditions. Interestingly, significantly higher (p<0.05) number of LVs was found to be more abundant around collagen patches with methylation modification and BDE crosslinking. Overall, we have demonstrated the potential application of fish scale-derived collagen as a promising scaffolding material for various biomedical applications. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Currently the most common sources of collagen are of bovine and porcine origins, although the industrial use of collagen obtained from non-mammalian species is growing in importance, particularly since they have a lower risk of disease transmission and are not subjected to any cultural or religious constraints. However, unmodified collagen typically has poor mechanical and degradation stability both in vitro and in vivo. Hence, in this study, Type I collagen was successfully extracted from fish scales and chemically modified and crosslinked. In vitro studies showed overall improvement in the physicochemical properties of the material, whilst in vivo implantation studies showed improvements in the growth of blood and lymphatic host vessels in the vicinity of the implants.

Abstract
Collagen scaffolds are often utilized in tissue engineering applications where their performance depends on physical and mechanical properties. This study investigated the effects of collagen source (bovine, porcine, and ovine tendon) on properties of collagen sponge scaffolds cross-linked with 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). Scaffolds were tested for tensile and compressive properties, stability (resistance to enzymatic degradation), pore size, and swelling ratio. No significant differences in tensile modulus were observed, but ovine scaffolds had significantly greater ultimate strain, stress, and toughness relative to bovine and porcine scaffolds. No significant differences in compressive properties, pore size, or swelling ratio were observed as a function of collagen source. Ovine scaffolds were more resistant to collagenase degradation compared to bovine samples, which were more resistant than porcine scaffolds. In comparison to bovine scaffolds, ovine scaffolds performed equivalently or superiorly in all evaluations, and porcine scaffolds were equivalent in all properties except enzymatic stability. These results suggest that collagen sponges derived from bovine, porcine, and ovine tendon have similar physical and mechanical properties, and are all potentially suitable materials for various tissue engineering applications. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
The development of bio-devices for complete regeneration of ligament and tendon tissues is presently one of the biggest challenges in tissue engineering. Such device must simultaneously possess optimal mechanical performance, suitable porous structure, and biocompatible microenvironment. This study proposes a novel collagen-BDDGE-elastin (CBE)-based device for tendon tissue engineering, by the combination of two different modules: (i) a load-bearing, non-porous, “core scaffold” developed by braiding CBE membranes fabricated via an evaporative process and (ii) a hollow, highly porous, “shell scaffold” obtained by uniaxial freezing followed by freeze-drying of CBE suspension, designed to function as a physical guide and reservoir of cells to promote the regenerative process. Both core and shell materials demonstrated good cytocompatibility in vitro, and notably, the porous shell architecture directed cell alignment and population within the sample. Finally, a prototype of the core module was implanted in a rat tendon lesion model, and histological analysis demonstrated its safety, biocompatibility, and ability to induce tendon regeneration. Overall, our results indicate that such device may have the potential to support and induce in situ tendon regeneration.

Abstract
Natural materials are promising alternatives to synthetic materials used in tissue engineering applications as they have superior biocompatibility and promote better cell attachment and proliferation. Ovalbumin, a natural polymer found in avian egg white, is an example of a nature-derived material. Despite the availability and reported biocompatibility of ovalbumin, limited research has been carried out to investigate the efficacy of ovalbumin-based scaffolds for adipose tissue engineering applications. Hence, the current study was carried out to investigate the effect of different crosslinkers on ovalbumin scaffold properties as first step towards the development of ovalbumin-based scaffolds for adipose tissue engineering applications. In this study, highly porous three-dimensional scaffolds were fabricated by using three different crosslinkers: glutaraldehyde, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide and 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether. Results showed that the overall scaffold properties such as morphology, pore size and mechanical properties could be modulated based on the type and concentration of crosslinkers used during the fabrication process. Subsequently, the efficacy of the different scaffolds for supporting cell proliferation was investigated. In vitro degradation was also carried on for the best scaffold based on the mechanical and cellular results. Overall, this study is a demonstration of the viability of ovalbumin-based scaffolds as cell carriers for soft tissue engineering applications.

Epoxy cross-linked collagen and collagen-laminin Peptide hydrogels as corneal substitutes. J Funct Biomater 2013; 4:162-77.

Abstract
A bi-functional epoxy-based cross-linker, 1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDGE), was investigated in the fabrication of collagen based corneal substitutes. Two synthetic strategies were explored in the preparation of the cross-linked collagen scaffolds. The lysine residues of Type 1 porcine collagen were directly cross-linked using l,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDGE) under basic conditions at pH 11. Alternatively, under conventional methodology, using both BDDGE and 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC)/N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) as cross-linkers, hydrogels were fabricated under acidic conditions. In this latter strategy, Cu(BF4)2·XH2O was used to catalyze the formation of secondary amine bonds. To date, we have demonstrated that both methods of chemical cross-linking improved the elasticity and tensile strength of the collagen implants. Differential scanning calorimetry and biocompatibility studies indicate comparable, and in some cases, enhanced properties compared to that of the EDC/NHS controls. In vitro studies showed that human corneal epithelial cells and neuronal progenitor cell lines proliferated on these hydrogels. In addition, improvement of cell proliferation on the surfaces of the materials was observed when neurite promoting laminin epitope, IKVAV, and adhesion peptide, YIGSR, were incorporated. However, the elasticity decreased with peptide incorporation and will require further optimization. Nevertheless, we have shown that epoxy cross-linkers should be further explored in the fabrication of collagen-based hydrogels, as alternatives to or in conjunction with carbodiimide cross-linkers.

Abstract
Scaffolds fabricated from cartilage extracellular matrix provide a chondroinductive environment that stimulates cartilaginous matrix synthesis in a variety of cell types. A limitation of these cartilage-derived matrix (CDM) scaffolds is that they contract during in vitro culture, which unpredictably alters their shape. The current study examined the hypothesis that collagen crosslinking techniques could inhibit cell-mediated contraction of CDM scaffolds. We analyzed the effects of dehydrothermal (DHT) treatment, ultraviolet light irradiation (UV), and the chemical crosslinker carbodiimide (CAR) on scaffold contraction and chondrogenic differentiation of adult human bone marrow-derived stem cells (MSCs). Both physical and chemical crosslinking treatments retained the original scaffold dimensions. DHT and UV treatments produced significantly higher glycosaminoglycan and collagen contents than CAR crosslinked and non-crosslinked constructs. Crosslinking treatments influenced the composition of newly synthesized matrix, and DHT treatment best matched the composition of native cartilage. DHT, UV, and non-crosslinked CDM films supported cell attachment, while CAR crosslinking inhibited cell adhesion. These results affirm that collagen crosslinking treatments can prevent cell-mediated contraction of CDM scaffolds. Interestingly, crosslinking treatments influence chondrogenic differentiation. These effects seem to be mediated by modifications to cell-matrix interactions between MSCs and the CDM; however, further work is necessary to elucidate the specific mechanisms involved in this process.

Abstract
Osteochondral lesions require treatment to restore the biology and functionality of the joint. A novel nanostructured biomimetic gradient scaffold was developed to mimic the biochemical and biophysical properties of the different layers of native osteochondral structure. The present results show that the scaffold presents important physicochemical characteristics and can support the growth and differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (h-MSCs), which adhere and penetrate into the cartilaginous and bony layers. H-MSCs grown in chondrogenic or osteogenic medium decreased their proliferation during days 14-52 on both scaffold layers and in medium without inducing factors used as controls. Both chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation of h-MSCs occurred from day 28 and were increased on day 52, but not in the control medium. Safranin O staining and collagen type II and proteoglycans immunostaining confirmed that chondrogenic differentiation was specifically induced only in the cartilaginous layer. Conversely, von Kossa staining, osteocalcin and osteopontin immunostaining confirmed that osteogenic differentiation occurred on both layers. This study shows the specific potential of each layer of the biomimetic scaffold to induce chondrogenic or osteogenic differentiation of h-MSCs. These processes depended mainly on the media used but not the biomaterial itself, suggesting that the local milieu is fundamental for guiding cell differentiation.

Abstract
Serious cartilage lesions (Outerbridge III, IV) may be successfully treated with a three-layered gradient scaffold made by magnesium-doped hydroxyapatite and type I collagen, manufactured through a bio-inspired process and stabilised by a reactive bis-epoxy (1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, BDDGE). Each layer was analysed to elucidate the effects of crosslinking variables (concentration, temperature and pH). The chemical stabilisation led to an homogeneous and aligned collagenous matrix: the fibrous structures switched to a laminar foils-based arrangement and organic phases acquired an highly coordinated 3D-organization. These morphological features were strongly evident when crosslinking occurred in alkaline solution, with BDDGE concentration of at least 1 wt%. The optimised crosslinking conditions did not affect the apatite nano-crystals nucleated into self-assembling collagen fibres. The present work allowed to demonstrate that acting on BDDGE reaction parameters might be an useful tool to control the chemical-physical properties of bio-inspired scaffold suitable to heal wide osteochondral defects, even through arthroscopic procedure.

Abstract
Unless chemically crosslinked, matrix proteins, such as collagen or silk, display a limited lifetime in vivo with significant degradation observed over a period of weeks. Likewise, amphiphilic peptides, lipopeptides, or glycolipids that self-assemble through hydrophobic interactions to form thin films, fiber networks, or vesicles do not demonstrate in vivo biostability beyond a few days. We report herein that a self-assembling, recombinant elastin-mimetic triblock copolymer elicited minimal inflammatory response and displayed robust in vivo stability for periods exceeding 1 year, in the absence of either chemical or ionic crosslinking. Specifically, neither a significant inflammatory response nor calcification was observed upon implantation of test materials into the peritoneal cavity or subcutaneous space of a mouse model. Moreover, serial quantitative magnetic resonance imaging, evaluation of pre- and post-explant ultrastructure by cryo-high resolution scanning electron microscopy, and an examination of implant mechanical responses revealed substantial preservation of form, material architecture, and biomechanical properties, providing convincing evidence of a non-chemically or ionically crosslinked protein polymer system that exhibits long-term stability in vivo.

Abstract
Many cross-linking agents for collagen are available with varying levels of toxicity and some are in use in biomedical implants of collagen. L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), a neurotransmitter, is a naturally present compound in the living system and is the target in therapeutic strategy of Parkinson's disease. This work reports the effect of the neurotransmitter DOPA on the stability of collagen solution using circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy, melting and shrinkage temperature. Collagen solution treated with various concentrations of DOPA ranging from 10(-2) to 10(-5)M was analyzed using fluorescence and CD spectra. When collagen was treated with DOPA, the intensity of emission was found to increase indicating the possibility of interaction of DOPA with collagen and maximum emission intensity was observed between 10(-3) and 10(-4)M for L-DOPA and DL-DOPA, respectively. CD studies show possible aggregation of collagen even in the presence of low concentrations of DOPA. The shrinkage temperature of DOPA treated collagen fibres was experimentally determined to be 69+/-1 degrees C. The melting temperature of DOPA cross linked collagen solution also exhibited a significant increase from 35 to 40 degrees C (+/-0.1) (P<0.05). The experimental results suggest that the optimum concentration for cross linking collagen with DOPA ranges between 10(-3) and 10(-4)M. Thus, DOPA may be a useful stabilizing agent for collagen for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Collagen, as the major structural protein of the extracellular matrix in animals, is a versatile biomaterial of great interest in various engineering applications. Electrospun nanofibers of collagen are regarded as very promising materials for tissue engineering applications because they can reproduce the morphology of the natural bone but have as a drawback a poor structural consistency in wet conditions. In this paper, a comparative study between the performance of different cross-linking methods such as a milder enzymatic treatment procedure using transglutaminase, the use of N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide, and genipin, and the use of a physical method based on exposure to ultraviolet light was carried out. The chemical and enzymatic treatments provided, in this order, excellent consistency, morphology, cross-linking degree, and osteoblast viability for the collagen nanofibers. Interestingly, the enzymatically cross-linked collagen mats, which are considered to be a more biological treatment, promoted adequate cell adhesion, making the biomaterial biocompatible and with an adequate degree of porosity for cell seeding and in-growth.

Abstract
Collagen is commonly used as a tissue-engineering scaffold, yet its in vivo applications are limited by a deficiency in mechanical strength. The purpose of this work was to explore the utilization of a unique enzymatic crosslinking procedure aimed at improving the mechanical properties of collagen-based scaffold materials. Type I bovine collagen gel was crosslinked by transglutaminase, which selectively mediates the chemical reaction between glutamine and lysine residues on adjacent protein fibers, thus providing covalent amide bonds that serve to reinforce the three-dimensional matrix. The degree of crosslinking was verified by thermal analysis and amine group content. The denaturation temperature of crosslinked collagen reached a maximum of 66 +/- 1 degrees C. The chemical reaction was confirmed to be noncytotoxic with respect to bone marrow stromal cells acquired from New Zealand White rabbits. Tube-shaped cellular constructs fashioned from crosslinked collagen and bone marrow stromal cells were found to have burst pressures significantly higher than their noncrosslinked analogs (71 +/- 4 mmHg vs. 46 +/- 3 mmHg; p < 0.01). Thus, the transglutaminase mediated reaction served to successfully strengthen collagen gels while remaining benign toward cells.

Abstract
In this study, we have examined the effects of specific chemical modifications of amino acid side-chains on the in vitro degradation of "native" collagen obtained from acellular matrix (ACM)-processed arteries. Two monofunctional epoxides of different size and chemistry were used to modify lysine, with or without methylglyoxal modification of arginine. Biochemical, thermomechanical, tensile mechanical, and multi-enzymatic (collagenase, cathepsin B, acetyltrypsin, and trypsin) degradation analyses were used to determine the effects of modifications.Collagen solubilization by enzymes was found to depend upon the size and chemistry of epoxides used to modify lysine residues. In general, the solubilization of native ACM collagen by collagenase, cathepsin B, trypsin, and acetyltrypsin was either unaltered or decreased after modification with glycidol. In contrast, n-butylglycidylether (n-B) treatment increased solubilization by all enzymes. Subsequent arginine modification significantly reduced collagen solubilization by acetyltrypsin for glycidol-treated ACM arteries, whereas increased collagen solubilization was observed for n-B-treated ACM arteries with all enzymes. Gel chromatographic analyses of collagen fragments solubilized by trypsin revealed that both the amount and sites of cleavage were altered after lysine and arginine modification. The ability to modulate the enzymatic degradation of tissue-derived materials as demonstrated in this study may facilitate the design of novel engineering scaffolds for tissue regeneration or collagen-based drug delivery systems.

Abstract
Calcification limits the long-term durability of xenograft glutaraldehyde (GA)-crosslinked heart valves. Previously, a study in rats showed that epoxy-crosslinked heart valves reduced lymphocyte reactions to the same extent as the GA-crosslinked control and induced a similar foreign-body response and calcification reaction. The present study was aimed at reducing the occurrence of calcification of epoxy-crosslinked tissue. Two modifications were carried out and their influence on cellular reactions and the extent of calcification after 8 weeks' implantation in weanling rats was evaluated. First, epoxy-crosslinked valves were post-treated with two detergents to remove cellular elements, phospholipids and small soluble proteins, known to act as nucleation sites for calcification. The second approach was to study the effect of the impaired balance between negatively and positively charged amino acids by an additional crosslinking step with a dicarboxylic acid. The detergent treatment resulted in a washed-out appearance of especially the cusp tissue. With the dicarboxylic acid, both the cusps and the walls had a limited washed-out appearance. The wall also demonstrated some detachment of the subendothelium. After implantation, both detergent and dicarboxylic acid post-treatment histologically resulted in reduced calcification at the edges of cusps and walls. However, total amounts of calcification, measured by atomic emission spectroscopy, were not significantly reduced. Data concerning the presence of lymphocytes varied slightly, but were in the same range as the GA-crosslinked control, i.e., clearly reduced compared with a noncrosslinked control. It is concluded that both the double detergent and the dicarboxylic acid post-treatment of epoxy-crosslinked heart valve tissue do not represent a sound alternative in the fabrication of heart valve bioprostheses.

Abstract
Dermal sheep collagen was crosslinked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDGE) or modified with glycidyl isopropyl ether (PGE). The reduction in amine groups as a function of time was followed to study the overall reaction kinetics of collagen with either BDDGE or PGE. Linearization of the experimental data resulted in a reaction order of 2 with respect to the amine groups in the PGE masking reaction, whereas a reaction order of 2.5 was obtained in the BDDGE crosslinking reaction. The reaction orders were independent of the pH in the range of 8.5-10.5 and the reagent concentration (1-4 wt %). The reaction order with respect to epoxide groups was equal to 1 for both reagents. As expected, the reaction rate was favored by a higher reagent concentration and a higher solution pH. Because the BDDGE crosslinking reaction occurs via two distinct reaction steps, the content of pendant epoxide groups in the collagen matrix was determined by treating the collagen with either O-phosphoryl ethanolamine or lysine methyl ester. The increase in either phosphor or primary amine groups was related to the content of pendant groups. Crosslinking at pH 9.0 resulted in a low reaction rate but in a high crosslink efficacy, especially after prolonged reaction times. A maximum concentration of pendant epoxide groups was detected after 50 h. Reaction at pH 10.0 was faster, but a lower crosslinking efficacy was obtained. At pH 10.0, the ratio between pendant epoxide groups and crosslinks was almost equal to 1 during the course of the crosslinking reaction.

Abstract
Calcification limits the long-term durability of xenograft glutaraldehyde-crosslinked heart valves. In this study, epoxy-crosslinked porcine aortic valve tissue was evaluated after subcutaneous implantation in weanling rats. Non-crosslinked valves and valves crosslinked with glutaraldehyde or carbodiimide functioned as control. Epoxy-crosslinked valves had somewhat lower shrinkage temperatures than the crosslinked controls, and within the series also some macroscopic and microscopic differences were obvious. After 8 weeks implantation, cusps from non-crosslinked valves were not retrieved. The matching walls were more degraded than the epoxy- and control-crosslinked walls. This was observed from the higher cellular ingrowth with fibroblasts, macrophages, and giant cells. Furthermore, non-crosslinked walls showed highest numbers of lymphocytes, which were most obvious in the capsules. Epoxy- and control-crosslinked cusps and walls induced lower reactions. Calcification, measured by von Kossa-staining and by Ca-analysis, was always observed. Crosslinked cusps calcified more than walls. Of all wall samples, the non-crosslinked walls showed the highest calcification. It is concluded that epoxy-crosslinked valve tissue induced a foreign body and calcification reaction similar to the two crosslinked controls. Therefore, epoxy-crosslinking does not represent a solution for the calcification problem of heart valve bioprostheses.
