Abstract
Men-made colloidal systems are widely presented across various aspects of biomedical science. There is a strong demand for engineering colloids to tailor their functions and properties to meet the requirements of biological and medical tasks. These requirements are not only related to size, shape, capacity to carry bioactive compounds as drug delivery systems, and the ability to navigate via chemical and physical targeting. Today, the more challenging aspects of colloid design are how the colloidal particles interact with biological cells, undergo internalization by cells, how they reside in the cell interior, and whether we can explore cells with colloids, intervene with biochemical processes, and alter cell functionality. Cell tracking, exploitation of cells as natural transporters of internalized colloidal carriers loaded with drugs, and exploring physical methods as external triggers of cell functions are ongoing topics in the research agenda. In this review, we summarize recent advances in these areas, focusing on how colloidal particles interact and are taken up by mesenchymal stem cells, dendritic cells, neurons, macrophages, neutrophils and lymphocytes, red blood cells, and platelets. The engineering of colloidal vesicles with cell membrane fragments and exosomes facilitates their application. The perspectives of different approaches in colloid design, their limitations, and obstacles on the biological side are discussed.

Abstract
Fluorescent dyes (especially photoconvertible cyanine dyes) are traditionally used as labels to study single-cell or cell-group interactions and migration. Nevertheless, their application has some disadvantages, such as cytotoxicity and dye transfer between cells during co-cultivation. The latter can lead to serious distortions in research results. At the same time, the lack of a worthy alternative explains the reasons for hushing up this serious problem. Here, we propose low-cytotoxicity encapsulated forms of cyanine 3.5 and cyanine 5.5, enabling intracellular uptake and facilitating single-cell labeling and tracking as an efficient alternative to existing staining. Only 16.9% of myoblasts (C2C12) exchanged encapsulated dyes compared with 99.7% of cells that exchanged the free form of the same dyes. Simultaneous application of several encapsulated cyanine dyes, combined with the possibility of photoconversion, provides multi-color coding of individual cells. Encapsulation of cyanine dyes allows reliable labeling and reduces the transfer of the dyes between cells.

Abstract
The study of human neural cells, their behaviour and migration are important areas of research in the biomedical field, particularly for potential therapeutic applications. The safety of using neural cells in therapy is still a concern due to a lack of information on long-term changes that may occur. While current methods of cell tracing explore gene manipulations, we elaborate approaches to cell marking with no genetic interference. In this study, we present a novel method for labelling and tracking neural cells using cell-impregnatable photoconvertible polyelectrolyte microcapsules. These capsules demonstrated low cytotoxicity with no effect on the differentiation ability of the neural cells, maintained a high level of fluorescent signal and ability for tracing individual neural cells for over 7 days. The capsules modified with rhodamine- and fluorescein-based dyes were demonstrated to undergo photoconversion by both one- and two-photon lasers while being internalized by neural cells. The finding gives the possibility to select individual capsules inside multicellular structures like spheroids and tissues and alternate their fluorescent appearance. Thus, we can track individual cell paths in complex systems. This new method offers a promising alternative for studying neural cells' long-term behaviour and migration in complex systems such as three-dimensional cellular populations.

Abstract
Reliable cell labeling and tracking techniques are imperative for elucidating the intricate and ambiguous interactions between mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and tumors. Here, we explore fluorescent photoconvertible nanoengineered vesicles to study mMSC migration in brain tumors. These 3 μm sized vesicles made of carbon nanoparticles, Rhodamine B (RhB), and polyelectrolytes are readily internalized by cells. The dye undergoes photoconversion under 561 nm laser exposure with a fluorescence blue shift upon demand. The optimal laser irradiation duration for photoconversion was 0.4 ms, which provided a maximal blue shift of the fluorescent signal label without excessive laser exposure on cells. Vesicles modified with an extra polymer layer demonstrated enhanced intracellular uptake without remarkable effects on cell viability, motility, or proliferation. The optimal ratio of 20 vesicles per mMSC was determined. Moreover, the migration of individual mMSCs within 2D and 3D glioblastoma cell (EPNT-5) colonies over 2 days and in vivo tumor settings over 7 days were traced. Our study provides a robust nanocomposite platform for investigating MSC-tumor dynamics and offers insights into envisaged therapeutic strategies. Photoconvertible vesicles also present an indispensable tool for studying complex fundamental processes of cell-cell interactions for a wide range of problems in biomedicine.

Abstract
The behavior and migration of human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) are focal points of research in the biomedical field. One of the major aspects is potential therapy using hMCS, but at present, the safety of their use is still controversial owing to limited data on changes that occur with hMSCs in the long term. Fluorescent photoconvertible proteins are intensively used today as "gold standard" to mark the individual cells and study single-cell interactions, migration processes, and the formation of pure lines. A crucial disadvantage of this method is the need for genetic modification of the primary culture, which casts doubt on the possibility of exploring the resulting clones in personalized medicine. Here we present a new approach for labeling and tracking hMSCs without genetic modification based on the application of cell-internalizable photoconvertible polyelectrolyte microcapsules (size: 2.6 ± 0.5 μm). These capsules were loaded with rhodamine B, and after thermal treatment, exhibited fluorescent photoconversion properties. Photoconvertible capsules demonstrated low cytotoxicity, did not affect the immunophenotype of the hMSCs, and maintained a high level of fluorescent signal for at least seven days. The developed approach was tested for cell tracking for four days and made it possible to trace the destiny of daughter cells without the need for additional labeling.

Abstract
Tendon is composed of dense fibrous connective tissues, connecting muscle at the myotendinous junction (MTJ) to bone at the enthesis and allowing mechanical force to transmit from muscle to bone. Tendon diseases occur at different zones of the tendon, including enthesis, MTJ and midsubstance of the tendon, due to a variety of environmental and genetic factors which consequently result in different frequencies and recovery rates. Self-healing properties of tendons are limited, and cell therapeutic approaches in which injured tendon tissues are renewed by cell replenishment are highly sought after. Homologous use of individual’s tendon-derived cells, predominantly differentiated tenocytes and tendon-derived stem cells, is emerging as a treatment for tendinopathy through achieving minimal cell manipulation for clinical use. This is the first review summarizing the progress of tendon-derived cell therapy in clinical use and its challenges due to the structural complexity of tendons, heterogeneous composition of extracellular cell matrix and cells and unsuitable cell sources. Further to that, novel future perspectives to improve therapeutic effect in tendon-derived cell therapy based on current basic knowledge are discussed.

Abstract
Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed human malaria parasite representing 36.3% of disease burden in the South-East Asia region and the most predominant species in the region of the Americas. Recent estimates indicate that 3.3 billion of people are under risk of infection with circa 7 million clinical cases reported each year. This burden is certainly underestimated as the vast majority of chronic infections are asymptomatic. For centuries, it has been widely accepted that the only source of cryptic parasites is the liver dormant stages known as hypnozoites. However, recent evidence indicates that niches outside the liver, in particular in the spleen and the bone marrow, can represent a major source of cryptic chronic erythrocytic infections. The origin of such chronic infections is highly controversial as many key knowledge gaps remain unanswered. Yet, as parasites in these niches seem to be sheltered from immune response and antimalarial drugs, research on this area should be reinforced if elimination of malaria is to be achieved. Due to ethical and technical considerations, working with the liver, bone marrow and spleen from natural infections is very difficult. Recent advances in the development of humanized mouse models and organs-on-a-chip models, offer novel technological frontiers to study human diseases, vaccine validation and drug discovery. Here, we review current data of these frontier technologies in malaria, highlighting major challenges ahead to study P. vivax cryptic niches, which perpetuate transmission and burden.

Abstract
In modern biomedical science and developmental biology, there is significant interest in optical tagging to study individual cell behavior and migration in large cellular populations. However, there is currently no tagging system that can be used for labeling individual cells on demand in situ with subsequent discrimination in between and long-term tracking of individual cells. In this article, we demonstrate such a system based on photoconversion of the fluorescent dye rhodamine B co-confined with carbon nanodots in the volume of micron-sized polyelectrolyte capsules. We show that this new fluorescent convertible capsule coding system is robust and is actively uptaken by cell lines while demonstrating low toxicity. Using a variety of cellular lines, we demonstrate how this tagging system can be used for code-like marking and long-term tracking of multiple individual cells in large cellular populations.

Abstract
Despite the importance of immune cell-biomaterial interactions for the regenerative outcome, few studies have investigated how distinct three-dimensional biomaterials modulate the immune cell-mediated mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) recruitment and function. Thus, this work compares the response of varied primary human immune cell populations triggered by different model scaffolds and describes its functional consequence on recruitment and motility of bone marrow MSC. It was found that polylactic acid (PLA) and chitosan scaffolds lead to an increase in the metabolic activity of macrophages but not of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), natural killer (NK) cells or monocytes. PBMC and NK cells increase their cell number in PLA scaffolds and express a secretion profile that does not promote MSC recruitment. Importantly, chitosan increases IL-8, MIP-1, MCP-1 and RANTES secretion by macrophages while PLA stimulates IL-6, IL-8 and MCP-1 production, all chemokines that can lead to MSC recruitment. This secretion profile of macrophages in contact with biomaterials correlates with the highest MSC invasion. Furthermore, macrophages enhance stem cell motility within chitosan scaffolds by 44% but not in PLA scaffolds. Thus, macrophages are the cells that in contact with engineered biomaterials become activated to secrete bioactive molecules that stimulate MSC recruitment.

Abstract
Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells (MSC) are currently being explored in diverse clinical applications, including regenerative therapies. Their contribution to regeneration of bone fractures is dependent on their capacity to proliferate, undergo osteogenesis and induce angiogenesis. This study aimed to uncover microRNAs capable of concomitantly regulate these mechanisms. Following microRNA array results, we identified miR-195 and miR-497 as downregulated in human primary MSC under osteogenic differentiation. Overexpression of miR-195 or miR-497 in human primary MSC leads to a decrease in osteogenic differentiation and proliferation rate. Conversely, inhibition of miR-195 increased alkaline phosphatase expression and activity and cells proliferation. Then, miR-195 was used to study MSC capacity to recruit blood vessels in vivo. We provide evidence that the paracrine effect of MSC on angiogenesis is diminishedwhen cells over-express miR-195. VEGF may partially mediate this effect, as its expression and secreted protein levels are reduced by miR-195, while increased by anti-miR-195, in human MSC. Luciferase reporter assays revealed a direct interaction between miR-195 and VEGF 3′-UTR in bone cancer cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that miR-195 regulates important mechanisms for bone regeneration, specifically MSC osteogenic differentiation, proliferation and control of angiogenesis; therefore, it is a potential target for clinical bone regenerative therapies.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies are under investigation for tissue repair but suffer from poor cell persistence and engraftment upon transplantation. When entrapped in an adhesive biomaterial, MSC spheroids exhibited improved survival and proangiogenic growth factor secretion in vitro and bone formation in vivo compared with cells in nonadhesive hydrogels. These findings demonstrate the value of deploying MSC spheroids in instructive biomaterials to improve cell function. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based therapies are under broad investigation for applications in tissue repair but suffer from poor cell persistence and engraftment upon transplantation. MSC spheroids exhibit improved survival, anti-inflammatory, and angiogenic potential in vitro, while also promoting vascularization when implanted in vivo. However, these benefits are lost once cells engage the tissue extracellular matrix and migrate from the aggregate. The efficacy of cell therapy is consistently improved when using engineered materials, motivating the need to investigate the role of biomaterials to instruct spheroid function. In order to assess the contribution of adhesivity on spheroid activity in engineered materials and promote the bone-forming potential of MSCs, we compared the function of MSC spheroids when entrapped in Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-modified alginate hydrogels to nonfouling unmodified alginate. Regardless of material, MSC spheroids exhibited reduced caspase activity and greater vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) secretion compared with equal numbers of dissociated cells. MSC spheroids in RGD-modified hydrogels demonstrated significantly greater cell survival than spheroids in unmodified alginate. After 5 days in culture, spheroids in RGD-modified gels had similar levels of apoptosis, but more than a twofold increase in VEGF secretion compared with spheroids in unmodified gels. All gels contained mineralized tissue 8 weeks after subcutaneous implantation, and cells entrapped in RGD-modified alginate exhibited greater mineralization versus cells in unmodified gels. Immunohistochemistry confirmed more diffuse osteocalcin staining in gels containing spheroids compared with dissociated controls. This study demonstrates the promise of cell-instructive biomaterials to direct survival and function of MSC spheroids for bone tissue engineering applications. Significance Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) spheroids exhibit improved therapeutic potential in vitro compared with dissociated MSCs, yet spheroids are directly injected into tissues, ceding control of cell function to the extracellular matrix and potentially limiting the duration of improvement. Cell delivery using adhesive biomaterials promotes cell retention and function. These studies explored the role of adhesion to the surrounding matrix on spheroid function. When entrapped in an adhesive biomaterial, MSC spheroids exhibited improved survival and proangiogenic growth factor secretion in vitro and bone formation in vivo compared with cells in nonadhesive hydrogels. These findings demonstrate the value of deploying MSC spheroids in instructive biomaterials to improve cell function.
