Abstract
The photophysical properties of tris(polypyridyl)ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(dmbpy)3]2+ [dmbpy = 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine] were investigated and compared with [Ru(bpy)3]2+ following both experimental and computational approaches. The variations in the electronic properties of the complex in the ground and excited states were determined by density functional theory (DFT) methods, and their effects on the anticancer, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities were also evaluated by molecular docking and dynamic simulation studies. The potential of these complexes to serve as bioanalytes was investigated by their ability to bind with quinones, the well-known electron mediators in numerous light-driven reactions. Following the above, the anticancer properties were evaluated against breast cancer-related proteins. The results revealed that the complex possesses comparable anticancer and antioxidant potential to that of [Ru(bpy)3]2+. The physical, electronic, and biological properties of this complex depend on the nature of the ligands and the medium of investigation. Herein, the potential applications of [Ru(bpy)3]2+ in clinical diagnostics as antioxidants and therapeutic agents were evaluated.

Abstract
It's currently a challenge to design a drug delivery system for chemotherapy with high drug contents and minimal side effects. Herein, we constructed a novel one-dimensional binary-drug delivery system for cancer treatment. In this drug delivery system, drugs (doxorubicin (DOX) and resveratrol (RES)) self-assemble on bacterial cellulose nano-whiskers (BCW) and are subsequently encapsulated by polydopamine (PDA) with high encapsulation efficiencies (DOX: 81.53 %, RES: 70.32 %) and high drug loading efficiencies (DOX: 51.54 %, RES: 36.93 %). The cumulative release efficiencies can reach 89.27 % for DOX and 80.05 % for RES in acidic medium within 96 h. The BCW/(DOX + RES)/PDA can enter tumor cells easily through endocytosis and presents significant anti-cancer effects. Furthermore, the released-RES plays a protective role in normal cells through up-regulation of antioxidant enzymes activities and scavenging of reactive oxygen species. Taken together, the one-dimensional BCW/(DOX + RES)/PDA binary-drug delivery system can be used for the anticancer treatment along with slight side effects.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) hydrogel is renowned in the field of tissue engineering for its high biocompatibility, excellent mechanical strength, and eco-friendliness. Herein, we present a biomimetic mineralization method for preparing BC/hydroxyapatite (HAP) composite hydrogel scaffolds with different mineralization time and ion concentration of the mineralized solution. Spherical HAP reinforcement enhanced bone mineralization, thereby imparting increased bioactivity to BC matrix materials. Subsequently, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was introduced into the scaffold. The PRP-loaded hydrogel enhanced the release of growth factors, which promoted cell adhesion, growth, and bone healing. After 3 weeks of MC3T3-E1 cell-induced osteogenesis, PRP positively affected cell differentiation in BC/HAP@PRP scaffolds. Overall, these scaffolds exhibited excellent biocompatibility, mineralized nodule formation, and controlled release in vitro, demonstrating great potential for application in bone tissue repair.

Abstract
Wound infection arising from pathogenic bacteria brought serious trouble to the patient and medical system. Among various wound dressings that are effective in killing pathogenic bacteria, antimicrobial composites based on bacterial cellulose (BC) are becoming the most popular materials due to their success in eliminating pathogenic bacteria, preventing wound infection, and promoting wound healing. However, as an extracellular natural polymer, BC is not inherently antimicrobial, which means that it must be combined with other antimicrobials to be effective against pathogens. BC has many advantages over other polymers, including nano-structure, significant moisture retention, non-adhesion to the wound surface, which has made it superior to other biopolymers. This review introduces the recent advances in BC-based composites for the treatment of wound infection, including the classification and preparation methods of composites, the mechanism of wound treatment, and commercial application. Moreover, their wound therapy applications include hydrogel dressing, surgical sutures, wound healing bandages, and patches are summarized in detail. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of BC-based antibacterial composites for the treatment of infected wounds are discussed.

Abstract
The damage or degeneration of spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) can impair the auditory signals transduction from hair cells to the central auditory system, and cause significant hearing loss. Herein, a new form of bioactive hydrogel incorporating topological graphene oxide (GO) and TEMPO-oxidized bacterial cellulose (GO/TOBC hydrogel) was developed to provide a favorable microenvironment for SGN neurite outgrowth. As the network structure of lamellar interspersed fiber cross-linked by GO/TOBC hydrogels well simulated the structure and morphology of ECM, with the controllable hydrophilic property and appropriate Young's modulus well met those requirements of SGNs microenvironment, the GO/TOBC hybrid matrix exhibited great potential to promote the growth of SGNs. The quantitative real-time PCR result confirmed that the GO/TOBC hydrogel can significantly accelerate the development of growth cones and filopodia, by increasing the mRNA expression levels of diap3, fscn2, and integrin β1. These results suggest that GO/TOBC hydrogel scaffolds have the potential to be used to construct biomimetic nerve grafts for repairing or replacing nerve defects.

Abstract
Macroalgae are a diverse group of primary producers that offer indispensable ecosystem services towards bacterial colonization and proliferation in aquatic biomes. Macroalgae/bacteria interactions are complex in natural biomes and contribute mutually to their growth and biotechnological outcomes. Most findings on macroalgae-associated bacteria and their secreted enzymes have largely been limited to nutraceutical applications. Here, in this study, we demonstrate and investigate the growth of Bacillus sp. (macroalgae-associated bacteria) with the substitution of its associated macroalgae (Gracilaria corticata) on graphene oxide (GO). The findings indicated that the presence of wrinkles of GO nanosheets resulted in cell proliferation and adherence without causing mechanical damage to the cell membrane. Furthermore, the assembly of GO-marine bacteria was explored for organic pollutant treatment using methylene blue (MB) as a model dye. The degradation results suggest the breakdown of MB into non-toxic byproducts as suggested by the phytotoxicity assay.

Abstract
In this work, a novel composite of bacterial cellulose (BC) and expanded vermiculite (EVMT) composite was used to adsorb dyes and antibiotics. The pure BC and BC/EVMT composite were characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD, XPS and TGA. The BC/EVMT composite exhibited a microporous structure, providing abundant adsorption sites for target pollutants. The adsorption performance of the BC/EVMT composite was investigated for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and sulfanilamide (SA) from an aqueous solution. The adsorption capacity of BC/ENVMT for MB increased with increasing pH, while the adsorption capacity for SA decreased with increasing pH. The equilibrium data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. As a result, the adsorption of MB and SA by the BC/EVMT composite was found to follow the Langmuir isotherm well, indicating a monolayer adsorption process on a homogeneous surface. The maximum adsorption capacity of the BC/EVMT composite was found to be 92.16 mg/g for MB and 71.53 mg/g for SA, respectively. The adsorption kinetics of both MB and SA on the BC/EVMT composite showed significant characteristics of a pseudo-second-order model. Considering the low cost and high efficiency of BC/EVMT, it is expected to be a promising adsorbent for the removal of dyes and antibiotics from wastewater. Thus, it can serve as a valuable tool in sewage treatment to improve water quality and reduce environmental pollution.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a chemically pure, non-toxic, and non-pyrogenic natural polymer with high mechanical strength and a complex fibrillar porous structure. Due to these unique biological and physical properties, BC has been amply used in the food industry and, to a somewhat lesser extent, in medicine and cosmetology. To expand its application the BC structure can be modified. This review presented some recent developments in electrically conductive BC-based composites. The as-synthesized BC is an excellent dielectric. Conductive polymers, graphene oxide, nanoparticles and other materials are used to provide it with conductive properties. Conductive bacterial cellulose (CBC) is currently investigated in numerous areas including electrically conductive scaffolds for tissue regeneration, implantable and wearable biointerfaces, flexible batteries, sensors, EMI shielding composites. However, there are several issues to be addressed before CBC composites can enter the market, namely, composite mechanical strength reduction, porosity decrease, change in chemical characteristics. Some of them can be addressed both at the stage of synthesis, biologically, or by adding (nano)materials with the required properties to the BC structure. We propose several solutions to meet the challenges and suggest some promising BC applications.

Abstract
A structurally stable and antibacterial biomaterial used for temporary cranioplasty with guided bone regeneration (GBR) effects is an urgent clinical requirement. Herein, we reported the design of a biomimetic Ag/bacterial cellulose/hydroxyapatite (Ag/BC@HAp) hydrogel mesh with a double-sided functionalized structure, in which one layer was dense and covered with Ag nanoparticles and the other layer was porous and anchored with hydroxyapatite (HAp) via mineralization for different durations. Such a double-sided functionalized design endowed the hydrogel with distinguished antibacterial activities for inhibiting potential infections and GBR effects that could prevent endothelial cells and fibroblasts from migrating to a defected area and meanwhile show biocompatibility to MC3T3-E1 preosteoblasts. Furthermore, it was found from in vivo experimental results that the Ag/BC@HAp hydrogel with 7-day mineralization achieved optimal GBR effects by improving barrier functions toward these undesired cells. Moreover, this BC-based hydrogel mesh showed an extremely low swelling ratio and strong mechanical strength, which facilitated the protection of soft brain tissues without gaining the risk of intracranial pressure increase. In a word, this study offers a new approach to double-sided functionalized hydrogels and provides effective and safe biomaterials used for temporary cranioplasty with antibacterial abilities and GBR effects.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has transformed the world with its diverse applications, ranging from industrial developments to impacting our daily lives. It has multiple applications throughout financial sectors and enables the development of facilitating scientific endeavors with extensive commercial potentials. Nanomaterials, especially the ones which have shown biomedical and other health-related properties, have added new dimensions to the field of nanotechnology. Recently, the use of bioresources in nanotechnology has gained significant attention from the scientific community due to its 100 % eco-friendly features, availability, and low costs. In this context, jute offers a considerable potential. Globally, its plant produces the second most common natural cellulose fibers and a large amount of jute sticks as a byproduct. The main chemical compositions of jute fibers and sticks, which have a trace amount of ash content, are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. This makes jute as an ideal source of pure nanocellulose, nano-lignin, and nanocarbon preparation. It has also been used as a source in the evolution of nanomaterials used in various applications. In addition, hemicellulose and lignin, which are extractable from jute fibers and sticks, could be utilized as a reductant/stabilizer for preparing other nanomaterials. This review highlights the status and prospects of jute in nanotechnology. Different research areas in which jute can be applied, such as in nanocellulose preparation, as scaffolds for other nanomaterials, catalysis, carbon preparation, life sciences, coatings, polymers, energy storage, drug delivery, fertilizer delivery, electrochemistry, reductant, and stabilizer for synthesizing other nanomaterials, petroleum industry, paper industry, polymeric nanocomposites, sensors, coatings, and electronics, have been summarized in detail. We hope that these prospects will serve as a precursor of jute-based nanotechnology research in the future.

Abstract
Eco-friendly conductive polymer nanocomposites have garnered attention as an effective alternative for conventional conductive nanocomposites. Here, we report the fabrication and optimization of flexible, self-standing, and conductive bacterial cellulose/poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene) (BC/PEDOT) nanocomposites using the vapor phase polymerization (VPP) method. Eco-friendly bacterial cellulose (BC) is used as a flexible matrix, and the highly conductive PEDOT polymer is introduced into the BC matrix to achieve electronic conductivity. We demonstrate that vapor phase polymerized BC/PEDOT composites exhibit more than 10 times lower sheet resistance (18 Ω/square) compared to solution polymerized BC/PEDOT (188 Ω/square). The resultant BC/PEDOT fabricated could be bent up to 100 times and completely rolled up without a notable decrease in electronic performance. Moreover, bent BC/PEDOT films enable operation of a green light-emitting diode (LED) light, indicating the flexibility and stability of conductive BC/PEDOT films. Overall, this study suggests a strategy for the development of eco-friendly, flexible, and conductive nanocomposite films.

Abstract
Neural stem cell (NSC)-based therapy is a promising candidate for treating neurodegenerative diseases and the preclinical researches call an urgent need for regulating the growth and differentiation of such cells. The recognition that three-dimensional culture has the potential to be a biologically significant system has stimulated an extraordinary impetus for scientific researches in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Here, A novel scaffold for culturing NSCs, three-dimensional bacterial cellulose-graphene foam (3D-BC/G), which was prepared via in situ bacterial cellulose interfacial polymerization on the skeleton surface of porous graphene foam has been reported. 3D-BC/G not only supports NSC growth and adhesion, but also maintains NSC stemness and enhances their proliferative capacity. Further phenotypic analysis indicated that 3D-BC/G induces NSCs to selectively differentiate into neurons, forming a neural network in a short amount of time. The scaffold has good biocompatibility with primary cortical neurons enhancing the neuronal network activities. To explore the underlying mechanisms, RNA-Seq analysis to identify genes and signaling pathways was performed and it suggests that 3D-BC/G offers a more promising three-dimensional conductive substrate for NSC research and neural tissue engineering, and the repertoire of gene expression serves as a basis for further studies to better understand NSC biology.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) and graphene are materials that have attracted the attention of researchers due to their outstanding properties. BC is a nanostructured 3D network of pure and highly crystalline cellulose nanofibres that can act as a host matrix for the incorporation of other nano-sized materials. Graphene features high mechanical properties, thermal and electric conductivity and specific surface area. In this paper we review the most recent studies regarding the development of novel BC-graphene nanocomposites that take advantage of the exceptional properties of BC and graphene. The most important applications of these novel BC-graphene nanocomposites include the development of novel electric conductive materials and energy storage devices, the preparation of aerogels and membranes with very high specific area as sorbent materials for the removal of oil and metal ions from water and a variety of biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. The main properties of these BC-graphene nanocomposites associated with these applications, such as electric conductivity, biocompatibility and specific surface area, are systematically presented together with the processing routes used to fabricate such nanocomposites.

Abstract
Microglia are highly plastic cells that change their properties in response to their microenvironment. By using immunofluorescence, live-cell imaging, electrophysiological recordings and RNA sequencing, we investigated the regulation of modified bacterial cellulose (mBC) nanofibril substrates on microglial properties. We demonstrate that mBC substrates induce ramified microglia with constantly extending and retracting processes, reminiscent of what is observed in vivo. Patch-clamp recordings show that microglia acquire a more negative resting membrane potential and have increased inward rectifier K+ currents, caused by an upregulation of Kir2.1 channels. Transcriptome analysis shows upregulation of genes involved in the immune response and downregulation of genes linked to cell adhesion and cell motion. Furthermore, Arp2/3 complex activation and integrin-mediated signaling modulate microglial morphology and motility. Our studies demonstrate that mBC nanofibril substrates modulate microglial phenotype, paving the way for a microglia-material interface that may be very valuable for anti-neuroinflammatory drug screening.

Abstract
Ideal wound dressing materials should be active components in the healing process. Bacterial cellulose (BC) has attracted a great deal of attention as novel wound dressing materials; however, it has no intrinsic antimicrobial activity. To explore the practical application values of BC and develop novel wound dressing materials, a series of composite membranes based on BC and polymeric ionic liquids (BC/PILs, composed of BC, and PILs formed by choline and different amino acids) with antimicrobial activity were synthesized by an ex situ method. The physicochemical and antimicrobial properties and biocompatibility of these membranes were systematically investigated. The results indicated that BC/PIL membranes with excellent properties could be obtained by adjusting the concentration and type of PILs. Several kinds of BC/PIL membranes exhibited good biocompatibility and high antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungus. The anionic PILs played important roles in the antimicrobial activity of BC/PIL membranes. The obtained membranes provided a novel promising candidate for wound dressing materials.

Applications of Nanocellulose/Nanocarbon Composites: Focus on Biotechnology and Medicine. NANOMATERIALS 2020; 10:nano10020196.

Abstract
Nanocellulose/nanocarbon composites are newly emerging smart hybrid materials containing cellulose nanoparticles, such as nanofibrils and nanocrystals, and carbon nanoparticles, such as "classical" carbon allotropes (fullerenes, graphene, nanotubes and nanodiamonds), or other carbon nanostructures (carbon nanofibers, carbon quantum dots, activated carbon and carbon black). The nanocellulose component acts as a dispersing agent and homogeneously distributes the carbon nanoparticles in an aqueous environment. Nanocellulose/nanocarbon composites can be prepared with many advantageous properties, such as high mechanical strength, flexibility, stretchability, tunable thermal and electrical conductivity, tunable optical transparency, photodynamic and photothermal activity, nanoporous character and high adsorption capacity. They are therefore promising for a wide range of industrial applications, such as energy generation, storage and conversion, water purification, food packaging, construction of fire retardants and shape memory devices. They also hold great promise for biomedical applications, such as radical scavenging, photodynamic and photothermal therapy of tumors and microbial infections, drug delivery, biosensorics, isolation of various biomolecules, electrical stimulation of damaged tissues (e.g., cardiac, neural), neural and bone tissue engineering, engineering of blood vessels and advanced wound dressing, e.g., with antimicrobial and antitumor activity. However, the potential cytotoxicity and immunogenicity of the composites and their components must also be taken into account.

Abstract
Water purification has always being an imperative but challenging issue of our times. Here, we used an organic-inorganic material, i.e. bacterial cellulose (BC) and Ca-montmorillonite (Ca-MMT) composites to treat complex wastewater. The surface and inside of the BC/Ca-MMT was a microporous structure capable of providing abundant adsorption sites. We demonstrated the BC/Ca-MMT has superior removal efficiency towards methylene blue (MB) and tetracycline (TC). Typically, the sample showed significant uptake ability towards MB and TC with uptake characteristics of pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model. More interestingly, in MB-TC binary system, the removal of the two contaminative species was hardly affected by other coexisting components. Meanwhile, the sample was ease of regeneration and kept stable reusability through consecutive four recycles. With more virtues, such as low cost and wide range of resources of the two raw materials, the BC/Ca-MMT is expected to be a promising versatile water purifier in sewage treatment.

Abstract
In recent years, bacterial cellulose (BC)-based dressings or patches for skin or soft tissue repair have become investigative emphasis. However, most of the BC-based products used for biomedical applications present limitations due to their low flexibility, poor gas permeability and no inherent antibacterial activity. Herein, we proposed and designed a novel composite composed of natural bacterial cellulose (BC), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyhexamethylene biguanidine (PHMB) through new synthetic approaches. The composite membrane exhibited favorable physicochemical performance, especially transparency, water retention ability, flexibility as well as the characteristic of anti-adhesion. In vitro biochemical experiment results indicated that the composite had excellent biocompatibility and exhibited strong and sustained antibacterial effect. In vivo test further demonstrated that the composite could efficiently promote skin wound healing and regeneration in a rat model. This composite membrane possesses multiple mechanisms of promoting cutaneous wound healing and will provide new ideas for future development of wound dressings.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation (ES) is widely applied to promote nerve regeneration. Currently, metal needles are used to exert external ES, which may cause pain and risk of infection. In this work, a multiblock conductive nerve scaffold with self-powered ES by the consumption of glucose and oxygen is prepared. The conductive substrate is prepared by in situ polymerization of polypyrrole (PPy) on the nanofibers of bacterial cellulose (BC). Platinum nanoparticles are electrodeposited on the anode side for glucose oxidation, while nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) are loaded on the cathode side for oxygen reduction. The scaffold shows good mechanical property, flexibility and conductivity. The scaffold can form a potential difference of above 300 mV between the anode and the cathode in PBS with 5 × 10-3 m glucose. Dorsal root ganglions cultured on the Pt-BC/PPy-N-CNTs scaffold are 55% longer in mean neurite length than those cultured on BC/PPy. In addition, in vivo study indicates that the Pt-BC/PPy-N-CNTs scaffold promotes nerve regeneration compared with the BC/PPy group. This paper presents a novel design of a nerve scaffold with self-powered ES. In the future, it can be combined with other features to promote nerve regeneration.

Abstract
One of the major issues in tissue engineering is constructing a functional scaffold to support cell growth and also provide proper synergistic guidance cues. Graphene-based nanomaterials have emerged as biocompatible and electroactive scaffolds for neurogenesis and myogenesis, due to their excellent tunable chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. This review first assesses the recent investigations focusing on the fabrication and applications of graphene-based nanomaterials for neurogenesis and myogenesis, in the form of either 2D films, 3D scaffolds, or composite architectures. Besides, because of their outstanding electrical properties, graphene family materials are particularly suitable for designing electroactive scaffolds that could provide proper electrical stimulation (i.e., electrical or photo stimuli) to promote the regeneration of excitable neurons and muscle cells. Therefore, the effects and mechanism of electrical and/or photo stimulations on neurogenesis and myogenesis are followed. Furthermore, studies on their biocompatibilities and toxicities especially to neural and muscle cells are evaluated. Finally, the future challenges and perspectives in facilitating the development of clinical translation of graphene-family nanomaterials in treating neurodegenerative and muscle diseases are discussed.

Abstract
Due to rapid change in information technology, many consumer electronics become electronic waste which is the fastest-growing pollution problems worldwide. In fact, many discarded electronics with prefabricated micro/nanostructures may provide a good basis to fulfill special needs of other fields, such as tissue engineering, biosensors, and energy. Herein, to take waste optical discs as an example, we demonstrate that discarded electronics can be directly repurposed as highly anisotropic platforms for in vitro investigation of cell behaviors, such as cell adhesion, cell alignment, and cell-cell interactions. The PC12 cells cultured on biocompatible DVD polycarbonate layers with flat and grooved morphology show a distinct cell morphology, indicating the topographical cue of nanogrooves plays a key role in guidance of neurites growth. By further monitoring cell morphology and alignment of PC12 cells cultured on the DVD nanogrooves at different differentiation times, we find that cell contact interaction with nanotopographies is dynamically adjustable with differentiation time from initial disorder to final order. This study adds a new dimension to not only solving the problems of supply of materials and fabrication of nanopatterns in neural tissue engineering, but may also offering a new promising way of waste minimization or reuse for environmental protection.

Abstract
A novel green method for graphene oxide (GO) reduction via ascorbic acid has been adopted to realize bio-friendly reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibrous meshes, as substrates for bone tissue engineering applications. PCL fibrous mats enriched with either RGO or GO (0.25 wt%) were fabricated to recapitulate the fibrillar structure of the bone extracellular matrix (ECM) and the effects of RGO incorporation on the structural proprieties, biomechanics and bioactivity of the nano-composites meshes were evaluated. RGO/PCL fibrous meshes displayed superior mechanical properties (i.e. Young's Modulus and ultimate tensile strength) besides supporting noticeably improved cell adhesion, spreading and proliferation of fibroblasts and osteoblast-like cell lines. Furthermore, RGO-based electrospun substrates enhanced in vitro calcium deposition in the ECM produced by osteoblast-like cells, which was paralleled, in human mesenchymal stem cells grown onto the same substrates, by an increased expression of the osteogenic markers mandatory for mineralization. In this respect, the capability of graphene-based materials to adsorb osteogenic factors cooperates synergically with the rougher surface of RGO/PCL-based materials, evidenced by AFM analysis, to ignite mineralization of the neodeposited matrix and to promote the osteogenic commitment of the cultured cell in the surrounding microenvironment.

Abstract
The self-assembly of nanocellulose and graphene oxide into highly porous biohybrid materials has inspired the design and synthesis of multifunctional membranes for removing water pollutants. The mechanisms of self-assembly, metal ion capture, and cluster formation on the biohybrids at the nano- and molecular scales are quite complex. Their elucidation requires evidence from the synergistic combination of experimental data and computational models. The AFM-based microscopy studies of (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxylradical)-mediated oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNFs), graphene oxide (GO), and their biohybrid membranes provide strong, direct evidence of self-assembly; small GO nanoparticles first attach and accumulate along a single TOCNF fiber, while the long, flexible TOCNF filaments wrap around the flat, wide GO planes, thus forming an amorphous and porous biohybrid network. The layered structure of the TOCNFs and GO membrane, derived from the self-assembly and its surface properties before and after the adsorption of Cu(II), is investigated by advanced microscopy techniques and is further clarified by the ReaxFF molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The dynamics of the Cu(II)-ion capture by the TOCNF and GO membranes in solution and the ion cluster formation during drying are confirmed by the MD simulations. The results of this multidisciplinary investigation move the research one step forward by disclosing specific aspects of the self-assembly behavior of biospecies and suggesting effective design strategies to control the pore size and robust materials for industrial applications.

Abstract
Patterning graphene allows to precisely tune its properties to manufacture flexible functional materials or miniaturized devices for electronic and biomedical applications. However, conventional lithographic techniques are cumbersome for scalable production of time- and cost-effective graphene patterns, thus greatly impeding their practical applications. Here, we present a simple scalable fabrication of wafer-scale three-dimensional (3D) graphene micropatterns by direct laser tuning graphene oxide reduction and expansion using a LightScribe DVD writer. This one-step laser-scribing process can produce custom-made 3D graphene patterns on the surface of a disk with dimensions ranging from microscale up to decimeter scale in about 20 min. Through control over laser-scribing parameters, the resulting various 3D graphene patterns are exploited as scaffolds for controlling cell alignment. The 3D graphene patterns demonstrate their potential to biomedical applications, beyond the fields of electronics and photonics, which will allow to incorporate flexible graphene patterns for 3D cell or tissue culture to promote tissue engineering and drug testing applications.

Abstract
Mesoangioblasts are outstanding candidates for stem-cell therapy and are already being explored in clinical trials. However, a crucial challenge in regenerative medicine is the limited availability of undifferentiated myogenic progenitor cells because growth is typically accompanied by differentiation. Here reversible myogenic-differentiation switching during proliferation is achieved by functionalizing the glass substrate with high-density ZnO nanowires (NWs). Specifically, mesoangioblasts grown on ZnO NWs present a spherical viable undifferentiated cell state without lamellopodia formation during the entire observation time (8 days). Consistently, the myosin heavy chain, typically expressed in skeletal muscle tissue and differentiated myogenic progenitors, is completely absent. Remarkably, NWs do not induce any damage while they reversibly block differentiation, so that the differentiation capabilities are completely recovered upon cell removal from the NW-functionalized substrate and replating on standard culture glass. This is the first evidence of a reversible myogenic-differentiation switch that does not affect the viability. These results can be the first step toward for the in vitro growth of a large number of undifferentiated stem/progenitor cells and therefore can represent a breakthrough for cell-based therapy and tissue engineering.

Abstract
In this study, we report the design and fabrication of a novel biocompatible sponge with excellent antibacterial property, making it a promising material for wound dressings. The sponge is formed by grafting amoxicillin onto regenerated bacterial cellulose (RBC). It was observed that the grafted RBC could enhance the antibacterial activity against fungus, Gram-negative, and Gram-positive bacteria. The morphology of strains treated with the grafted RBC and fluorescent stain results further demonstrated the antibacterial ability of the fabricated sponge. Moreover, a cytocompatibility test evaluated in vitro and in vivo illustrates the nontoxicity of the prepared sponge. More importantly, the wound infection model reveals that this sponge can accelerate the wound healing in vivo. This work indicates the novel sponge has the huge potential in wound dressing application for clinical use.

Abstract
Bacterial cellulose (BC) nanofibers represent an emerging class of highly crystalline bionanofibers with high intrinsic mechanical properties. The remarkable nanofibers with oriented structure and strong interfibrillar interactions can realize high-performance materials. In this study, we demonstrated that macrofibers based on aligned BC nanofibers could be prepared by wet spinning and drawing procedures. The relationship between process conditions, structure, and mechanical properties of macrofibers were investigated. The obtained macrofibers exhibited Young's modulus of 16.4 GPa and tensile strength of 248.6 MPa under the optimum process conditions, in which nanofibers displayed a high degree of alignment. Furthermore, we enhanced the interfacial interactions between nanofibers and obtained better mechanical performance by multivalent ion cross-linking. After exchanging the monovalent Na+ by Fe3+, the dried macrofiber reached Young's modulus of 22.9 GPa and tensile strength of 357.5 MPa. Particularly, the resulting macrofibers still maintained good mechanical properties with Young's modulus of 15.9 GPa and tensile strength of 262.2 MPa in the wet condition. This research provided a good method to fabricate macrofibers from BC nanofibers with good properties by continuous wet-spinning process. These macrofibers can be easily functionalized and have promising potential applications in smart textiles, biosensor, and structural reinforcement.

Abstract
It is an active research field to develop fiber-shaped smart materials for biomedical applications. Here we report the development of the multifunctional core-shell hybrid microfibers with excellent mechanical and electrical performance as a new smart biomaterial. The microfibers were synthesized using a combination of co-axial spinning with a microfluidic device and subsequent dip-coating, containing a hydrogel core of bacterial cellulose (BC) and a conductive polymer shell layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The hybrid microfibers were featured with a well-controlled microscopic morphology, exhibiting enhanced mechanic properties. A model drug, diclofenac sodium, can be loaded in the core layer of the microfibers in situ during the process of synthesis. Our experiments suggested that the releasing behaviors of the drug molecules from the microfibers were enhanced by external electrical stimulation. Interestingly, we demonstrated an excellent biocompatibility and electroactivity of the hybrid microfibers for PC12 cell culture, thus promising a flexible template for the reconstruction of electrically-responsive tissues mimicking muscle fibers or nerve networks. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Fiber-shaped biomaterials are useful in creating various functional objects from one dimensional to three-dimensional. The fabrication of microfibers with integrated physicochemical properties and bio-performance has drawn an increasing attention on researchers from chemical to biomedical. This study combined biocompatible bacterial cellulose with electroconductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) and further reduced them to a highly electroactive BC/PEDOT core-shell microfiber electrode for electrochemical actuator design. The result showed that the microfibers were well fabricated and the release of drugs from the microfibers was enhanced and could be controlled under electrical stimulation externally. Considering the excellent biocompatibility and electroactive toward PC12 cells, these microfibers may find use as templates for the reconstruction of fiber-shaped functional tissues that mimic muscle fibers, blood vessels or nerve networks in vivo.

Abstract
Functional graphene nanomaterials (FGNs) are fast emerging materials with extremely unique physical and chemical properties and physiological ability to interfere and/or interact with bioorganisms; as a result, FGNs present manifold possibilities for diverse biological applications. Beyond their use in drug/gene delivery, phototherapy, and bioimaging, recent studies have revealed that FGNs can significantly promote interfacial biointeractions, in particular, with proteins, mammalian cells/stem cells, and microbials. FGNs can adsorb and concentrate nutrition factors including proteins from physiological media. This accelerates the formation of extracellular matrix, which eventually promotes cell colonization by providing a more beneficial microenvironment for cell adhesion and growth. Furthermore, FGNs can also interact with cocultured cells by physical or chemical stimulation, which significantly mediate their cellular signaling and biological performance. In this review, we elucidate FGNs-bioorganism interactions and summarize recent advancements on designing FGN-based two-dimensional and three-dimensional architectures as multifunctional biological platforms. We have also discussed the representative biological applications regarding these FGN-based bioactive architectures. Furthermore, the future perspectives and emerging challenges will also be highlighted. Due to the lack of comprehensive reviews in this emerging field, this review may catch great interest and inspire many new opportunities across a broad range of disciplines.
