BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2025; 172:214249. [PMID: 40048901 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2025.214249] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2025] [Revised: 02/09/2025] [Accepted: 02/25/2025] [Indexed: 03/17/2025]
Abstract
Cartilage regeneration is still a highly challenging field due to its low self-healing ability. This study used a core-shell electrospinning technique to enhance cartilage tissue engineering by incorporating cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM). The core of fibers included poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-Chitosan (PHB-Cs) and Halloysite nanotubes. The shell of fibers consisted of Cs and ECM (0, 1, 3, 5 wt%). Subsequently, the scaffolds were named 0E, 1E, 3E, and 5E. The study aimed to assess the impact of ECM on cellular behavior and chondrogenesis. Our findings indicate that ECM reduced fiber diameter from 775 nm for the 0E scaffold to 454 nm for the 1E scaffold. Water contact angle measurements revealed an increasing trend by ECM addition, from 42° for 0E to 67° for 1E. According to mechanical analysis, the 1E scaffold represented the highest strength (5.81 MPa) and strain (3.17%). Based on these analyses, the 1E was considered the optimum scaffold. MTT analysis showed cell viability of over 80% for the 0E and 1E. Also, the gene expression level was assessed for Collagen II, Aggrecan, SOX 9, and Collagen X. The results represented that in the 1E scaffold Collagen II, Aggrecan, and SOX 9 were more upregulated at the end of the 21st day. However, in the 1E scaffold collagen X, as a hypertrophy marker, was downregulated at the end of the experiment. Overall, these results confirmed the potential of the 1E scaffold to be introduced as a promising cartilage tissue engineering scaffold for further studies.

Abstract
Extensively researched tissue engineering strategies involve incorporating cells into suitable biomaterials, offering promising alternatives to boost tissue repair. In this study, a hybrid scaffold, Gel-DCM, which integrates a photoreactive gelatin-hyaluronic acid hydrogel (Gel) with an oriented porous decellularized cartilage matrix (DCM), was designed to facilitate chondrogenic differentiation and cartilage repair. The Gel-DCM exhibited excellent biocompatibility in vitro, promoting favorable survival and growth of human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) and articular chondrocytes (hACs). Gene expression analysis indicated that the hACs expanded within the Gel-DCM exhibited enhanced chondrogenic phenotype. In addition, Gel-DCM promoted chondrogenesis of hADSCs without the supplementation of exogenous growth factors. Following this, in vivo experiments were conducted where empty Gel-DCM or Gel-DCM loaded with hACs/hADSCs were used and implanted to repair osteochondral defects in a rat model. In the control group, no implants were delivered to the injury site. Interestingly, macroscopic, histological, and microcomputed tomography scanning results revealed superior cartilage restoration and subchondral bone reconstruction in the empty Gel-DCM group compared with the control group. Moreover, both hACs-loaded and hADSCs-loaded Gel-DCM implants exhibited superior repair of hyaline cartilage and successful reconstruction of subchondral bone, whereas defects in the control groups were predominantly filled with fibrous tissue. These observations suggest that the Gel-DCM can provide an appropriate three-dimensional chondrogenic microenvironment, and its combination with reparative cell sources, ACs or ADSCs, holds great potential for facilitating cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
An ideal biomaterial should create a customized tissue-specific microenvironment that can facilitate and guide the tissue repair process. Due to its good biocompatibility and similar biochemical properties to native tissues, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) generally yields enhanced regenerative outcomes, with improved morphological and functional recovery. By utilizing various decellularization techniques and post-processing protocols, dECM can be flexibly prepared in different states from various sources, with specifically customized physicochemical properties for different tissues. To initiate a well-orchestrated tissue-regenerative response, dECM exerts multiple effects at the wound site by activating various overlapping signaling pathways to promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, as well as suppressing inflammation via modulation of various immune cells, including macrophages, T cells, and mastocytes. Functional tissue repair is likely the main aim when employing the optimized dECM biomaterials. Here, we review the current applications of different kinds of dECMs in an attempt to improve the efficiency of tissue regeneration, highlighting key considerations on developing dECM for specific tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The oral and maxillofacial region comprises a variety of organs made up of multiple soft and hard tissue, which are anatomically vulnerable to the pathogenic factors of trauma, inflammation, and cancer. The studies of this intricate entity have been long-termly challenged by a lack of versatile preclinical models. Recently, the advancements in the organoid industry have provided novel strategies to break through this dilemma. Here, we summarize the existing biological and engineering approaches that were employed to generate oral and maxillofacial organoids. Then, we detail the use of modified co-culture methods, such as cell cluster co-inoculation and air-liquid interface culture technology to reconstitute the vascular network and immune microenvironment in assembled organoids. We further retrospect the existing oral and maxillofacial assembled organoids and their potential to recapitulate the homeostasis in parental tissues such as tooth, salivary gland, and mucosa. Finally, we discuss how the next-generation organoids may benefit to regenerative and precision medicine for treatment of oral-maxillofacial illness.

Suspension electrospinning of decellularized extracellular matrix: A new method to preserve bioactivity. Bioact Mater 2024; 41:640-656. [PMID: 39280898 PMCID: PMC11401211 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2024.08.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2024] [Revised: 08/12/2024] [Accepted: 08/14/2024] [Indexed: 09/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Decellularized extracellular matrices (dECM) have strong regenerative potential as tissue engineering scaffolds; however, current clinical options for dECM scaffolds are limited to freeze-drying its native form into sheets. Electrospinning is a versatile scaffold fabrication technique that allows control of macro- and microarchitecture. It remains challenging to electrospin dECM, which has led researchers to either blend it with synthetic materials or use enzymatic digestion to fully solubilize the dECM. Both strategies reduce the innate bioactivity of dECM and limit its regenerative potential. Herein, we developed a new suspension electrospinning method to fabricate a pure dECM fibrous mesh that retains its innate bioactivity. Systematic investigation of suspension parameters was used to identify critical rheological properties required to instill "spinnability," including homogenization, concentration, and particle size. Homogenization enhanced particle interaction to impart the requisite elastic behavior to withstand electrostatic drawing without breaking. A direct correlation between concentration and viscosity was observed that altered fiber morphology; whereas, particle size had minimal impact on suspension properties and fiber morphology. The versatility of this new method was demonstrated by electrospinning dECM with three common decellularization techniques (Abraham, Badylak, Luo) and tissue sources (intestinal submucosa, heart, skin). Bioactivity retention after electrospinning was confirmed using cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and macrophage polarization assays. Collectively, these findings provide a framework for researchers to electrospin dECM for diverse tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Articular cartilage defects can lead to pain and even disability in patients and have significant socioeconomic loss. Repairing articular cartilage defects remains a long-term challenge in medicine owing to the limited ability of cartilage to regenerate. At present, the treatment methods adopted in clinical practice have many limitations, thereby necessitating the rapid development of biomaterials. Among them, decellularized biomaterials have been particularly prominent, with numerous breakthroughs in research progress and translational applications. Although many studies show that decellularized cartilage biomaterials promote tissue regeneration, any differences in cellular morphology, dynamics, and functionality among various biomaterials upon comparison have not been reported. In this study, we prepared cartilage-derived extracellular matrix (cdECM) biomaterials with different bioactive contents and various physical properties to compare their effects on the morphology, dynamics and functionality of chondrocytes. This cellular multimodal analysis of the characteristics of cdECM biomaterials provided a theoretical basis for understanding the interactions between biomaterials and cells, thus laying an experimental foundation for the translation and application of decellularized cartilage biomaterials in the treatment of cartilage defects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the domain of plastic surgery, nasal cartilage regeneration is of significant importance. The extracellular matrix (ECM) from porcine nasal septum cartilage has shown potential for promoting human cartilage regeneration. Nonetheless, the specific biological inductive factors and their pathways in cartilage tissue engineering remain undefined. METHODS The decellularized matrix derived from porcine nasal septum cartilage (PN-DCM) was prepared using a grinding method. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HuMSCs) were cultured on these PN-DCM scaffolds for 4 weeks without exogenous growth factors to evaluate their chondroinductive potential. Subsequently, proteomic analysis was employed to identify potential biological inductive factors within the PN-DCM scaffolds. RESULTS Compared to the TGF-β3-cultured pellet model serving as a positive control, the PN-DCM scaffolds promoted significant deposition of a Safranin-O positive matrix and Type II collagen by HuMSCs. Gene expression profiling revealed upregulation of ACAN, COL2A1, and SOX9. Proteomic analysis identified potential chondroinductive factors in the PN-DCM scaffolds, including CYTL1, CTGF, MGP, ITGB1, BMP7, and GDF5, which influence HuMSC differentiation. CONCLUSION Our findings have demonstrated that the PN-DCM scaffolds promoted HuMSC differentiation towards a nasal chondrocyte phenotype without the supplementation of exogenous growth factors. This outcome is associated with the chondroinductive factors present within the PN-DCM scaffolds.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide. In particular, patients who suffer from ischemic heart disease (IHD) that is not amenable to surgical or percutaneous revascularization techniques have limited treatment options. Furthermore, after revascularization is successfully implemented, there are a number of pathophysiological changes to the myocardium, including but not limited to ischemia-reperfusion injury, necrosis, altered inflammation, tissue remodeling, and dyskinetic wall motion. Electrospinning, a nanofiber scaffold fabrication technique, has recently emerged as an attractive option as a potential therapeutic platform for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Electrospun scaffolds made of biocompatible materials have the ability to mimic the native extracellular matrix and are compatible with drug delivery. These inherent properties, combined with ease of customization and a low cost of production, have made electrospun scaffolds an active area of research for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. In this review, we aim to discuss the current state of electrospinning from the fundamentals of scaffold creation to the current role of electrospun materials as both bioengineered extracellular matrices and drug delivery vehicles in the treatment of CVD, with a special emphasis on the potential clinical applications in myocardial ischemia.

Abstract
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) promotes survival and/or differentiation of a variety of neuronal cells including retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). Delivery of CNTF requires a suitable medium capable of mediating diffusion and premature release of CNTF within the target tissue. Polymeric tissue-engineered scaffolds have been readily used as substrates for cell transplantation, expansion, and differentiation and, as carriers of cell growth factors. Their functions to CNTF release for RGC proliferation have remained so far unexplored, especially to CNTF affinity to the scaffold and subsequent RGC fate. Electrospunpoly(glycerol sebacate)/poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PGS/PCL) biopolymer scaffolds have recently shown promising results in terms of supporting regeneration of RGC neurites. This work explores covalent immobilization of CNTF on PGS/PCL scaffold and the way immobilised CNTF mediates growth of RGC axons on the scaffold. Anex-vivothree-dimensional model of rodent optic nerve on PGS/PCL revealed that RGC explants cultured in CNTF mediated environment increased their neurite extensions after 20 d of cell culture employing neurite outgrowth measurements. The CNTF secretion on PGS/PCL scaffold was found bio-mimicking natural extracellular matrix of the cell target tissue and, consequently, has shown a potential to improve the overall efficacy of the RGC regeneration process.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite nanofiber membrane comprising Portulaca oleracea L. extract (POE) and a zinc-based metal-organic framework (MOF) by an in situ growth method as a potentially new type of wound dressing with a slow drug-release effect, to solve the problem of the burst release of drugs in wound dressings. The effects of the MOF and POE doping on the nanofiber membranes were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and FTIR spectroscopy. SEM analysis revealed the dense and uniform attachment of MOF particles to the surface of the nanofiber membrane, while FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the successful fusion of MOF and POE. Furthermore, investigations into the water contact angle and swelling property demonstrated that the incorporation of the MOF and POE enhanced the hydrophilicity of the material. The results of the in vitro release test showed that the cumulative release rate for PAN/MOF/POE60 decreased from 66.5 ± 2.34% to 32.18 ± 1.31% in the initial 4 h and from 90.54 ± 0.79% to 65.92 ± 1.95% in 72 h compared to PAN/POE, indicating a slowing down of the drug release. In addition, the antimicrobial properties of the fiber membranes were evaluated by the disc diffusion method, and it was evident that the PAN/MOF/POE nanofibers exhibited strong inhibition against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The antioxidant properties of the nanofiber membranes loaded with POE were further validated through the DPPH radical scavenging test. These findings highlight the potential application of the developed nanofiber membranes in wound dressings, offering controlled and sustained drug-release capabilities.

Abstract
In recent years, medicinal plant extracts have received remarkable attention due to their wound-healing properties. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) electrospun nanofiber membranes incorporated with different concentrations of pomegranate peel extract (PPE) were prepared. The results of the SEM and FTIR experiments demonstrated that the morphology of nanofiber is smooth, fine, and bead-free, and the PPE was well introduced into the nanofiber membranes. Moreover, the outcomes of the mechanical property tests demonstrated that the nanofiber membrane made of PCL and loaded with PPE exhibited remarkable mechanical characteristics, indicating that it could fulfill the essential mechanical requisites for wound dressings. The findings of the in vitro drug release investigations indicated that PPE was instantly released within 20 h and subsequently released gradually over an extended period by the composite nanofiber membranes. Meanwhile, the DPPH radical scavenging test confirmed that the nanofiber membranes loaded with PPE exhibited significant antioxidant properties. Antimicrobial experiments showed higher PPE loading, and the nanofiber membranes showed higher antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. The results of the cellular experiments showed that the composite nanofiber membranes were nontoxic and promoted the proliferation of L929 cells. In summary, electrospun nanofiber membranes loaded with PPE can be used as a wound dressing.

Abstract
3D printing has recently emerged as an innovative fabrication method to construct critical-sized and patient-specific bone scaffolds. The ability to control the bulk geometry of scaffolds in both macro and micro-scales distinguishes this technology from other fabrication methods. In this study, bone tissue-specific scaffolds with different pore geometries were printed from polylactic acid (PLA) filaments at three given infill densities ranging from 20 to 30%. A hybrid hydrogel made of synthetic biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) and collagen was applied to coat 3D printed well-structured triangular samples with 30% infill density. The coating process changed the surface texture, increased the average strand diameter and average pore size, and decreased the open porosity of samples, all of which increased the mechanical strength of biomimetic-coated scaffolds. According to matrix mineralization staining and osteo-related gene expression, the coating of scaffolds significantly facilitates metabolic activity and osteogenic differentiation of dental pulp-derived mesenchymal stem cells (DPSCs). Taken together, these results indicated that the biomimetic coating is a highly promising approach that could be taken into consideration in the design of a porous scaffold for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue-specific extracellular matrix (ECM) plays a critical role in cell survival and homeostasis, which are particularly essential for directing differentiation of different complex tissues such as retina. However, ECM maintenance should be considered to design an effective therapeutic strategy for retina regeneration. To achieve this, cell sheet engineering has emerged as a growing approach to closely reconstruct basal membrane of cells through a scaffold-free manner. Several irreversible sight-threatening diseases are characterized by the dysfunction and lose of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), leading to vision loss and eventually total blindness in patients. According to impressive developments in achievement of RPE from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), we obtained RPE cells without any extrinsic factors in a co-culture system, and cultured them on a temporary alginate hydrogel substrate. Subsequently, Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) peptide was superficially immobilized on the upper layer of hydrogel to improve cell attachment before harvesting sheet layer. RPE cell sheet layer was released by treating pre-seeded hydrogels with sodium citrate as a calcium chelating agent and characterized in both in vitro and in vivo models. RPE sheets formed tight junction and expressed high levels of retina structural markers such as ZO-1, Bestrophin and Collagen type IV. One week after in vivo transplantation of RPE sheet, cells survived in the subretinal space, indicating that our harvesting method is non-invasive. To sum up, we introduced a unique scaffold-free method for RPE cell sheet engineering, which can find potential use for future therapeutic purposes.

Abstract
Electrospinning has emerged as a versatile and accessible technology for fabricating polymer fibers, particularly for biological applications. Natural polymers or biopolymers (including synthetically derivatized natural polymers) represent a promising alternative to synthetic polymers, as materials for electrospinning. Many biopolymers are obtained from abundant renewable sources, are biodegradable, and possess inherent biological functions. This review surveys recent literature reporting new fibers produced from emerging biopolymers, highlighting recent developments in the use of sulfated polymers (including carrageenans and glycosaminoglycans), tannin derivatives (condensed and hydrolyzed tannins, tannic acid), modified collagen, and extracellular matrix extracts. The proposed advantages of these biopolymer-based fibers, focusing on their biomedical applications, are also discussed to highlight the use of new and emerging biopolymers (or new modifications to well-established ones) to enhance or achieve new properties for electrospun fiber materials.

Abstract
Membranous extracellular matrix (ECM)-based scaffolds are one of the most promising biomaterials for skin wound healing, some of which, such as acellular dermal matrix, small intestinal submucosa, and amniotic membrane, have been clinically applied to treat chronic wounds with acceptable outcomes. Nevertheless, the wide clinical applications are always hindered by the poor mechanical properties, the uncontrollable degradation, and other factors after implantation. To highlight the feasible strategies to overcome the limitations, in this review, we first outline the current clinical use of traditional membranous ECM scaffolds for skin wound healing and briefly introduce the possible repair mechanisms; then, we discuss their potential limitations and further summarize recent advances in the scaffold modification and fabrication technologies that have been applied to engineer new ECM-based membranes. With the development of scaffold modification approaches, nanotechnology and material manufacturing techniques, various types of advanced ECM-based membranes have been reported in the literature. Importantly, they possess much better properties for skin wound healing, and would become promising candidates for future clinical translation.

Abstract
Engineering scaffolds with structurally and biochemically biomimicking cues is essential for the success of tissue-engineered cartilage. Chitosan (CS)-based scaffolds have been widely used for cartilage regeneration due to its chemostructural similarity to the glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) found in the extracellular matrix of cartilage. However, the weak mechanical properties and inadequate chondroinduction capacity of CS give rise to compromised efficacy of cartilage regeneration. In this study, we incorporated short fiber segments, processed from electrospun aligned poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) fiber arrays, into a citric acid-modified chitosan (CC) hydrogel scaffold for mechanical strengthening and structural biomimicking and meanwhile introduced cartilage-decellularized matrix (CDM) for biochemical signaling to promote the chondroinduction activity. We found that the incorporation of PLGA short fibers and CDM remarkably strengthened the mechanical properties of the CC hydrogel (+349% in compressive strength and +153% in Young's modulus), which also exhibited a large pore size, appropriate porosity, and fast water absorption ability. Biologically, the engineered CDM-Fib/CC scaffold significantly promoted the adhesion and proliferation of chondrocytes and supported the formation of matured cartilage tissue with a cartilagelike structure and deposition of abundant cartilage ECM-specific GAGs and type II collagen (+42% in GAGs content and +295% in type II collagen content). The enhanced mechanical competency and chondroinduction capacity with the engineered CDM-Fib/CC scaffold eventually fulfilled successful in situ osteochondral regeneration in a rabbit model. This study thereby demonstrated a great potential of the engineered highly biomimetic chitosan-based scaffold in cartilage tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Cartilage regeneration using biomaterial-guided delivery systems presents improved therapeutic efficacy of the biomolecules while minimizing side effects. Here, our hypothesis was to design a multilayer scaffold of chitosan (CS) hydrogel and polycaprolactone (PCL) mat to enhance the mechanical properties, integrity and stability of CS, especially for subsequent in vivo transplantation. After conjugation of the Kartogenin (KGN) into this structure, its gradual release can promote chondrogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Initially, a thin electrospun PCL layer was sandwiched between two CS hydrogels. Subsequently, KGN was superficially immobilized onto the CS matrix. The successful conjugation was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared spectroscopy. These novel KGN-conjugated scaffolds possessed lower swelling and higher compressive modulus and showed gradual release of KGN in longer retention times. Immunofluorescent and histological staining represented more cells located in lacunae as well as more Coll2 and Sox9 positive cells on KGN-conjugated scaffolds. Gene expression analysis also revealed that SOX9, COLL2 and ACAN expression levels were higher in the presence of KGN, while COLLX expression was down-regulated, indicating a hypertrophy phenomenon with synergistic effect of TGF-β. This multilayer structure not only facilitates the effective treatment, but also provides a proper mechanical structure for cartilage engineering.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury could lead to either impairment or a complete loss of function for affected patients, and a variety of nerve repair materials have been developed for surgical approaches to repair it. Although autologous or autologous tissue-derived biomaterials remain preferred treatment for peripheral nerve injury, the lack of donor sources has led biomedical researchers to explore more other biomaterials. As a reliable alternative, xenogeneic decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based biomaterials have been widely employed for surgical nerve repair. The dECM derived from animal donors is an attractive and unlimited source for xenotransplantation. Meanwhile, as an increasingly popular technique, decellularization could retain a variety of bioactive components in native ECM, such as polysaccharides, proteins, and growth factors. The resulting dECM-based biomaterials preserve a tissue's native microenvironment, promote Schwann cells proliferation and differentiation, and provide cues for nerve regeneration. Although the potential of dECM-based biomaterials as a therapeutic agent is rising, there are many limitations of this material restricting its use. Herein, this review discusses the decellularization techniques that have been applied to create dECM-based biomaterials, the main components of nerve ECM, and the recent progress in the utilization of xenogeneic dECM-based biomaterials through applications as a hydrogel, wrap, and guidance conduit in nerve tissue engineering. In the end, the existing bottlenecks of xenogeneic dECM-based biomaterials and developing technologies that could be eliminated to be helpful for utilization in the future have been elaborated.

Curr Stem Cell Res Ther 2020; 15:144-154. [PMID: 31830895 DOI: 10.2174/1574888x14666191212160757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2019] [Revised: 11/13/2019] [Accepted: 11/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
The nasal septal cartilage plays an important role in the growth of midface and as a vertical strut preventing the collapse of the nasal bones. The repair of nasal cartilage defects remains a major challenge in reconstructive surgery. The tissue engineering strategy in the development of tissue has opened a new perspective to generate functional tissue for transplantation. Given the poor regenerative properties of cartilage and a limited amount of autologous cartilage availability, intense interest has evoked for tissue engineering approaches for cartilage development to provide better outcomes for patients who require nasal septal reconstruction. Despite numerous attempts to substitute the shapely hyaline cartilage in the nasal cartilages, many significant challenges remained unanswered. The aim of this research was to carry out a critical review of the literature on research work carried out on the development of septal cartilage using a tissue engineering approach, concerning different cell sources, scaffolds and growth factors, as well as its clinical pathway and trials have already been carried out.

Abstract
Bioengineered scaffolds composed of synthetic materials and extracellular matrix (ECM) components can offer a tissue-specific microenvironment capable of regulating cells to regenerate the structure and function of the native cartilage. Here, given the potential preservation of biomechanical and biochemical cues found in the native cartilage, particulate decellularized ECM (DC-ECM) was utilized for immobilization on the surface of nanofibrous scaffolds. Afterward, the chondro-inductive potential and ectopic cartilage formation after subcutaneous implantation of bioengineered DC-ECM scaffolds were investigated in mice model. Eight weeks post-implantation, no growth of considerable inflammatory response and neovascularization was observed in histological images of bioengineered DC-ECM scaffolds. Pre-seeded bioengineered scaffolds with human adipose-derived stem cells exhibited high levels of chondro-induction capability, indicated with immunohistochemical and gene expression results. In both interval times, we also observed chondrogenesis and tissue formation after implanting unseeded bioengineered scaffolds, which denote that the presence of DC-ECM particles can even enhance attachment and migration of the host cells and induce chondrogenesis to them. To sum up, the incorporation of DC-ECM materials to tissue engineered constructs is a promising avenue to mimic the native tissue environment for regulation of cartilage regeneration in both in vivo and in vitro settings.

Abstract
The biostability of the polyurethanes Tecoflex EG-80A and Pellethane 2363-80A, used as basic polymers of the vascular grafts (VGs) produced by electrospinning, as well as the tensile strength of Tecoflex VGs, are studied. Solutions of Tecoflex or Pellethane with gelatin and bivalirudin in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol are used for VG production. After 1, 12, and 24 weeks of VG implantation in the infrarenal position of the abdominal aorta of Wistar rats, VGs are explanted, fixed in formalin, freed from outer tissues, dialyzed, and dried. The polyurethanes are extracted from VGs by dispersion/extraction in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and freed from the excess of THF-insoluble biopolymers. The stability of polyurethanes is assessed by IR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. Pellethane has emerged to be stable at all experimental points. Tecoflex loses approximately 10% of its molecular weight (both Mn and Mw) after 3 months and restored its initial value within 6 months of its functioning as a graft. Mechanical testing demonstrates a 30% reduction in the tensile strength after 3 months in VG and a 10% increase after 6 months. The stability and mechanical properties of polyurethane-based VGs demonstrate their utility for the reconstitution of damaged arteries.

Abstract
To develop a wound dressing material that conforms to the healing process, we prepared a multilayer composite (MC) membrane consisting of an antibacterial layer (ABL), a reinforcement layer (RFL), and a healing promotion layer (HPL). Biocompatible zein/ethyl cellulose (zein/EC) electrospun nanofibrous membranes with in situ loaded antibacterial photosensitizer protoporphyrin (PPIX) and healing promotion material vaccarin (Vac) were, respectively, chosen as the ABL on the surface and the HPL on the bottom, between which nonwoven incorporated bacterial cellulose (BC/PETN) as the HPL was intercalated to enhance the mechanical property. Photodynamic antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was confirmed by the enlarged inhibition zones; meanwhile, satisfactory biocompatibility of the HPL was verified by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) of L929 cells cultured on its surface. The potential effects on wound healing in a mice skin defect model of the MC membranes were also evaluated. The animal experiments demonstrated that the wound healing rate in the MC group was significantly increased compared with that in the control group (p < 0.05). Histopathological observation revealed an alleviated inflammatory response, accompanied with vascular proliferation in the MC group. The MC membranes significantly promoted wound healing by creating an antibacterial environment and promoting angiogenesis. Taken together, this MC membrane may act as a promising wound dressing for skin wound healing.

Abstract
Decellularization technique is a favorable method used to fabricate natural and tissue-like scaffolds. This technique is important because of its remarkable ability to perfectly mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM-based scaffolds/hydrogels provide structural support for cell differentiation and maturation. Therefore, novel natural-based bioinks, ECM-based hydrogels, and particulate forms of the ECM provide promising strategies for whole organ regeneration. Despite its efficacious characteristics, removal of residual detergent and the presence of various protocols make this technique challenging for scientists and regenerative medicine-related programs. This chapter reviews the most effective physical, chemical, and enzymatic protocols used to remove the cellular components and their challenges. We discuss the applications of decellularized ECM (dECM) in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine with an emphasis on hard tissues.

Abstract
IMPACT STATEMENT Scaffolds fabricated from extracellular matrix (ECM) derivatives are composed of conducive structures for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation, but generally do not have proper mechanical properties and load-bearing capacity. In contrast, scaffolds based on synthetic biomaterials demonstrate appropriate mechanical strength, but the absence of desirable biological properties is one of their main disadvantages. To integrate mechanical strength and biological cues, these ECM derivatives can be conjugated with synthetic biomaterials. Hence, hybrid scaffolds comprising both advantages of synthetic polymers and ECM derivatives can be considered a robust vehicle for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Current studies based on regenerative medicine suggest, decellularized extracellular matrix (DC-ECM) components can regulate cell phenotype. In this regard, it is believed, presence of cartilage extracellular matrix particles in culture condition could produce physical and biochemical supportive cues for chondrogenesis. In this study, DC-ECM nanoparticles with average size of 61.5± 22.4 nm were produced by decellularization and mechanical processing. Homogenous distribution and nanoscale size of yield particles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) microscopy imaging. Chemical structure preservation of cartilage ECM after decellularization was also confirmed by typical Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum mapping. The influence these nanoparticles on chondrogenic response of chondrocyte cells was investigated by direct and indirect addition of nanoparticles to culture medium. A clinical devitalized cartilage powder (DV-ECM) was also used as a positive control. Totally, MTS results showed that direct and indirect presence of both DC-ECM and DV-ECM particles in culture medium enhanced cellular metabolic activity except on day one of culture. Furthermore, on day 21, SOX9 and COL2 expression of cultured chondrocytes in the medium containing DC-ECM nanoparticles were up-regulated in comparison to negative control, which was further confirmed by presence more frequent number of larger size lacunae in micromass spheroids. Our findings support the use of ECM nanoparticles as condition supplement in culture medium and injectable biomaterials, especially for cell-based therapies for cartilage regeneration. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Regenerative therapies for bone and cartilage injuries are currently unable to replicate the complex microenvironment of native tissue. There are many tissue engineering approaches attempting to address this issue through the use of synthetic materials. Although synthetic materials can be modified to simulate the mechanical and biochemical properties of the cell microenvironment, they do not mimic in full the multitude of interactions that take place within tissue. Decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) has been established as a biomaterial that preserves a tissue's native environment, promotes cell proliferation, and provides cues for cell differentiation. The potential of dECM as a therapeutic agent is rising, but there are many limitations of dECM restricting its use. This review discusses the recent progress in the utilization of bone and cartilage dECM through applications as scaffolds, particles, and supplementary factors in bone and cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
To mimic the electrical properties of collagen fibrils on a bone surface, a built-in nanoscale electric field is formed on the surface of a polypyrrole (PPy) coating-decorated potassium-sodium niobate (KNN) piezoceramic. With the fabrication strategy, the piezoelectricity of KNN after polarization results in the formation of an electric field on the surface, which could be regulated by adjusting the polarization process. Then, conductive PPy nanoarrays (CPNAs) are obtained on the surfaces of the KNN piezoceramics. The conductive PPy transports the electric field to the coating surface, and the nanoarray morphology results in variations in the surface potential, leading to a built-in nanoscale electric field. Biological characterization indicates that CPNAs exhibit acceptable biocompatibility. Moreover, the nanoscale electric field regulates cell behavior, and the relatively high surface potential promotes cell proliferation, cell attachment and osteogenic differentiation.
