Abstract
3D-printed hydrogel scaffolds biomimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) are key in cartilage tissue engineering as they can enhance the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through the presence of active nanoparticles such as graphene oxide (GO). Here, biomimetic hydrogels were developed by cross-linking alginate, gelatin, and chondroitin sulfate biopolymers in the presence of GO as a bioactive filler, with excellent processability for developing bioactive 3D printed scaffolds and for the bioprinting process. A novel bioink based on our hydrogel with embedded human MSCs presented a cell survival rate near 100% after the 3D bioprinting process. The effects of processing and filler concentration on cell differentiation were further quantitatively evaluated. The nanocomposited hydrogels render high MSC proliferation and viability, exhibiting intrinsic chondroinductive capacity without any exogenous factor when used to print scaffolds or bioprint constructs. The bioactivity depended on the GO concentration, with the best performance at 0.1 mg mL-1. These results were explained by the rational combination of the three biopolymers, with GO nanoparticles having carboxylate and sulfate groups in their structures, therefore, biomimicking the highly negatively charged ECM of cartilage. The bioactivity of this biomaterial and its good processability for 3D printing scaffolds and 3D bioprinting techniques open up a new approach to developing novel biomimetic materials for cartilage repair.

Abstract
Cartilage injury is a common disease in daily life. Especially in aging populations, the incidence of osteoarthritis is increasing. However, due to the poor regeneration ability of cartilage, most cartilage injuries cannot be effectively repaired. Even cartilage tissue engineering still faces many problems such as complex composition and poor integration of scaffolds and host tissues. In this study, chondroitin sulfate, one of the main components of extracellular matrix (ECM), is chosen as the main natural component of the material, which can protect cartilage in a variety of ways. Moreover, the results show that the addition of chondroitin sulfate improves the mechanical properties of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) hydrogel, making it able to effectively bear mechanical loads in vivo. Further, chondroitin sulfate is modified to obtain the oxidized chondroitin sulfate (OCS) containing aldehyde groups via sodium periodate. This special group improves the interface integration and adhesion ability of the hydrogel to host cartilage tissue through schiff base reactions. In summary, GelMA/OCS hydrogel is a promising candidate for cartilage regeneration with good biocompatibility, mechanical properties, tissue integration ability, and excellent cartilage repair ability.

Abstract
Repairing cartilage/subchondral bone defects that involve subchondral bone is a major challenge in clinical practice. Overall, the integrated repair of the structure and function of the osteochondral (OC) unit is very important. Some studies have demonstrated that the differentiation of cartilage is significantly enhanced by reducing the intake of nutrients such as lipids. This study demonstrates that using starvation can effectively optimize the therapeutic effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). A hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel containing starved BMSCs-EVs displayed continuous release for more than 3 weeks and significantly promoted the proliferation and biosynthesis of chondrocytes around the defect regulated by the forkhead-box class O (FOXO) pathway. When combined with vascular inhibitors, the hydrogel inhibited cartilage hypertrophy and facilitated the regeneration of hyaline cartilage. A porous methacrylate gelatine (GelMA)-based hydrogel containing calcium salt loaded with thrombin rapidly promoted haematoma formation upon contact with the bone marrow cavity to quickly block the pores and prevent the blood vessels in the bone marrow cavity from invading the cartilage layer. Furthermore, the haematoma could be used as nutrients to accelerate bone survival. The in vivo experiments demonstrated that the multifunctional lineage-specific hydrogel promoted the integrated regeneration of cartilage/subchondral bone. Thus, this hydrogel may represent a new strategy for osteochondral regeneration and repair.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is a natural macromolecule polysaccharide that is extensively distributed in a wide variety of organisms. CS is of great interest to researchers due to its many in vitro and in vivo functions. CS production derives from a diverse number of sources, including but not limited to extraction from various animals or fish, bio-synthesis, and fermentation, and its purity and homogeneity can vary greatly. The structural diversity of CS with respect to sulfation and saccharide content endows this molecule with distinct complexity, allowing for functional modification. These multiple functions contribute to the application of CS in medicines, biomaterials, and functional foods. In this article, we discuss the preparation of CS from different sources, the structure of various forms of CS, and its binding to other relevant molecules. Moreover, for the creation of this article, the functions and applications of CS were reviewed, with an emphasis on drug discovery, hydrogel formation, delivery systems, and food supplements. We conclude that analyzing some perspectives on structural modifications and preparation methods could potentially influence future applications of CS in medical and biomaterial research.

Abstract
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is the most common type of osteoporosis. Chondroitin sulfate (CS) has been successfully employed as food supplement against osteoarthritis, while the therapeutic potential on postmenopausal osteoporosis is little explored. In this study, CS oligosaccharides (CSOs) were enzymatically prepared through the lysis of CS by a chondroitinase from Microbacterium sp. Strain. The alleviating effects of CS, CSOs and Caltrate D (a clinically used supplement) on ovariectomy (OVX) - induced rat's osteoporosis were comparatively investigated. Our data showed that the prepared CSOs was basically unsaturated CS disaccharide mixture of ∆Di4S (53.1%), ∆Di6S (27.7%) and ∆Di0S (17.7%). 12 weeks' intragastric administration of Caltrate D (250 mg/kg/d), CS or CSOs (500 mg/kg/d, 250 mg/kg/d, 125 mg/kg/d) could obviously regulate the disorder of serum indices, recover the mechanical strength and mineral content of bone, improve the cortical bones' density and the number and length of trabecular bones in OVX rats. Both CS and CSOs in 500 mg/kg/d and 250 mg/kg/d could restore more efficiently the serum indices, bone fracture deflection and femur Ca than Caltrate D. As compared with CS at the same dosage, CSOs exhibited a more significant alleviating effect. These findings suggested that there was great potential of CSOs as daily interventions for delaying the progression of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
The use of non-drug intervention for calcium deficiency has attracted attention in recent years. Although calcium carbonate is the preferred raw material for calcium supplementation, there are few reports on the mechanism of the combined action of chondroitin sulfate and calcium to alleviate osteoporosis from the perspective of gut microbiota and metabolomics. In this study, a rat model of osteoporosis was established by feeding a low-calcium diet. The intestinal microbiota abundance, fecal and plasma metabolite expression levels of rats fed a basal diet, a low-calcium diet, a low-calcium diet plus calcium carbonate, and a low-calcium diet plus chondroitin sulfate were compared. The results showed that compared with the low calcium group, the calcium content and bone mineral density of femur were significantly increased in the calcium carbonate and chondroitin sulfate groups. 16 S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics analysis showed that chondroitin sulfate intervention could reduce short-chain fatty acid synthesis of intestinal flora, slow down inflammatory response, inhibit osteoclast differentiation, promote calcium absorption and antioxidant mechanism, and alleviate osteoporosis in low-calcium feeding rats. Correlation analysis showed that the selected intestinal flora was significantly correlated with metabolites enriched in feces and plasma. This study provides scientific evidence of the potential impact of chondroitin sulfate as a dietary supplement for patients with osteoporosis.

Abstract
Allolobophora calignosa (Ac) is a folk medicine for millennia, as it possesses many biological activities. This study aimed to investigate the chemo-preventive activity of A.calignosa coelomic fluid (AcCF) and A.calignosa extract (AcE) on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in mice. Characterization and in vitro biological activity of AcE and AcCF has been assessed. Male CD-1 mice were subcutaneously received dexamethasone (DEX) (1 mg/kg, 5 times/week) and concurrently intraperitoneally treated with either AcCF (20 mg/kg) or AcE (45 mg/kg) every other day for 28 days. Serum and bone homogenates were subjected for qPCR and biochemical analysis. AcE and AcCF treatment significantly increased bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and calcitonin levels, whereas activity of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone alkaline phosphatase (BALP), serum acidic phosphatase (ACP), bone acidic phosphatase (BACP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were significantly reduced compare with untreated GIOP mice. Treatment with AcE and AcCF modulates oxidative stress and downregulated Rank and Mmp9 expression, as well as increased glycosaminoglycan content in the organic bone matrix, resulting in osteoclastogenesis inhibition. Overall, AcCF and AcE show a chemo-preventive activity against GIOP by inhibiting oxidative stress and regulating expression and/or activity of osteoblast/osteoclast-related markers.

Abstract
We fabricated a mussel-inspired hemocompatible polycarbonate membrane (PC) modified by the cross-linking of chondroitin sulfate and caffeic acid polymer using CA-CS via a Schiff base and Michael addition reaction and named it CA-CS-PC. The as-fabricated CA-CS-PC membrane shows excellent hydrophilicity with a water contact angle of 0° and a negative surface charge with a zeta potential of -32 mV. The antiadhesion property of the CA-CS-modified PC membrane was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), using human plasma protein fibrinogen adsorption studies, and proved to have excellent antiadhesion properties, because of the lower fibrinogen adsorption. In addition, the CA-CS-PC membrane also shows enhanced hemocompatibility. Finally, blood cell attachment tests of the CA-CS-PC membrane were observed by CLSM and SEM, and the obtained results proved that CA-CS-PC effectively resisted cell adhesion, such as platelets and leucocytes. Therefore, this work disclosed a new way to design a simple and versatile modification of the membrane surface by caffeic acid and chondroitin sulfate and apply it for cell adhesion.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides (MPs) are an eco-friendly and renewable resource with a distinctive set of biological functions and are regarded as biological materials that can be in contact with tissues and body fluids for an extended time and promote tissue or organ regeneration. Skin tissue is easily invaded by the external environment due to its softness and large surface area. However, the body's natural physiological healing process is often too slow or suffers from the incomplete restoration of skin structure and function. Functional wound dressings are crucial for skin tissue engineering. Herein, popular MPs from different sources are summarized systematically. In particular, the structure-effectiveness of MP-based wound dressings and the physiological remodeling process of different wounds are reviewed in detail. Finally, the prospect of MP-based smart wound dressings is stated in conjunction with the wound microenvironment and provides new opportunities for high-value biomedical applications of MPs.

Abstract
The physicochemical properties and microstructure of hybrid hydrogels prepared using sodium alginate (SA) and chondroitin sulfate (CS) extracted from two animal sources were investigated. SA-based hybrid hydrogels were prepared by mixing chicken- and bovine-derived CS (CCS and BCS, respectively) with SA at 1/3 and 2/3 (w/w) ratios. The results indicated that the evaporation water loss rate of the hybrid hydrogels increased significantly upon the addition of CS, whereas CCS/SA (2/3) easily absorbed moisture from the environment. The thermal stability of the BCS/SA (1/3) hybrid hydrogel was higher than that of CCS/SA (1/3) hybrid hydrogel, whereas the hardness and adhesiveness of the CCS/SA (1/3) hybrid hydrogel were lower and higher, respectively, than those of the BCS/SA (1/3) hybrid hydrogel. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance experiments demonstrated that the immobilized water content of the CCS/SA (1/3) hybrid hydrogel was higher than that of the BCS/SA (1/3) hybrid hydrogel. FTIR showed that S=O characteristic absorption peak intensity of BCS/SA (2/3) was obviously higher, suggesting that BCS possessed more sulfuric acid groups than CCS. SEM showed that the hybrid hydrogels containing CCS have more compact porous microstructure and better interfacial compatibility compared to BCS.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate (CS) is widely used across the world as a nutraceutical and pharmaceutical. Its high demand and potential limitations in current methods of extraction call for an alternative method of production. This review highlights glycosaminoglycan’s structure, its medical significance, animal extraction source, and the disadvantages of the extraction process. We cover alternative production strategies for CS and its precursor, chondroitin. We highlight chemical synthesis, chemoenzymatic synthesis, and extensively discuss how strains have been successfully metabolically engineered to synthesize chondroitin and chondroitin sulfate. We present microbial engineering as the best option for modern chondroitin and CS production. We also explore the biosynthetic pathway for chondroitin production in multiple microbes such as Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, and Corynebacterium glutamicum. Lastly, we outline how the manipulation of pathway genes has led to the biosynthesis of chondroitin derivatives.

Abstract
Natural polysaccharides are critical to a wide range of fields (e.g., medicine, food production, and cosmetics) for their various remarkable physical properties and biological activities. However, the bioactivities of naturally acquired polysaccharides may be unsatisfactory and limit their further applications. It is generally known that the chemical structure exhibited by polysaccharides lays the material basis for their biological activities. Accordingly, possible structural modifications should be conducted on polysaccharides for their enhancement. Recently, polysaccharides complexed with metal ions (e.g., Fe, Zn, Mg, Cr, and Pt) have been reported to be possibly used to improve their bioactivities. Moreover, since the properties exhibited by metal ions are normally conserved, polysaccharides may be endowed with new applications. In this review, the synthesis methods, characterization methods, and bioactivities of polysaccharide metal complexes are summarized specifically. Then, the application prospects and limitations of these complexes are analyzed and discussed.

Abstract
The deficiency of traditional calcium preparation will gradually be replaced by the new type of calcium preparation. Rosa roxburghii fruit (R. roxburghii) is popular for its rich nutrients and functional ingredients. The fermentation broth of R. roxburghii, involving amino acids, flavonoids, triterpenes, polysaccharides, and other compounds, is favorable for calcium chelation. Thus, this study fabricated calcium-incorporated R. roxburghii (FECa) and further illustrated its efficacy on bone mineral density (BMD) in rats. The calcium holding capacity of FECa was identified and confirmed using AAS. Ion complexation of FECa was characterized using 1H-NMR, UV, SEM and EDS, and FTIR. The calcium contents of femurs were increased by 36%, and the bone trabeculae of femurs were significantly increased. Net calcium balance was enhanced to further improve BMD by oral administration of FECa. The above results indicate that FECa can be a potential and efficient calcium supplementation agent.

Abstract
A chondroitin sulfate zinc (CSZn) complex was prepared by an ion-exchange method. The purified product was characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, high-performance chromatography, elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, inductively coupled mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The CSZn demonstrated antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and satisfied MTT cell viability (NIH3T3 fibroblasts) at ≤50 μg/mL. RT-PCR demonstrated significant promotion by CSZn of fibroblast growth factor beta (β-FGF), collagen III (COLIIIα1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and reduction of cytokines IL-6, IL-1β & TNF-alpha. An in vivo rat full-thickness wound healing model demonstrated significant wound healing of CSZn relative to controls of saline treatment, zinc chloride treatment and chondroitin treatment. CSZn has demonstrated promising antibacterial and wound healing properties making it deserving of consideration for more advanced wound healing applications.

Abstract
In this study, zein and fucoidan-based composite nanoparticles were prepared by the antisolvent precipitation method. The effects of different calcium ion (Ca2+, 0-3.0 mM) concentrations on the stability of the composite nanosystems loaded with quercetin were studied under different conditions (pH, temperature, salt concentration, and ultraviolet light irradiation), and the composite nanoparticles were characterized. Electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and hydrophobic interactions are the main forces underlying the formation of composite nanoparticles. The addition of Ca2+ led to improved release of the active substances from the composite nanoparticles in simulated digestive solutions (especially when the Ca2+ concentration was 1.5 mM). The composite nanosystems based on alcohol-soluble proteins and anionic polysaccharides with added Ca2+ can be potentially applied for the delivery of active substances.

Abstract
The effects of sulfation and calcium cations (Ca2+) on the atomic-resolution conformational properties of chondroitin carbohydrate polymers in aqueous solutions are not well studied owing to experimental challenges. Here, we compare all-atom explicit-solvent molecular dynamics simulations results for pairs of O-type (nonsulfated) and A-type (GlcNAc 4-O-sulfated) chondroitin 20-mers in 140 mM NaCl with and without Ca2+ and find that both sulfation and Ca2+ favor more compact polymer conformations. We also show that subtle differences in force-field parametrization can have dramatic effects on Ca2+ binding to chondroitin carboxylate and sulfate functional groups and thereby determine Ca2+-mediated intra- and interstrand association. In addition to providing an atomic-resolution picture of the interaction of Ca2+ with sulfated and nonsulfated chondroitin polymers, the molecular dynamics data emphasize the importance of careful force-field parametrization to balance ion-water and ion-chondroitin interactions and suggest additional parametrization efforts to tune interactions involving sulfate.
