Abstract
Despite the considerable advancements in fabricating polymeric-based scaffolds for tissue engineering, the clinical transformation of these scaffolds remained a big challenge because of the difficulty of simulating native organs/tissues' microenvironment. As a kind of natural tissue-derived biomaterials, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based scaffolds have gained attention due to their unique biomimetic properties, providing a specific microenvironment suitable for promoting cell proliferation, migration, attachment and regulating differentiation. The medical applications of dECM-based scaffolds have addressed critical challenges, including poor mechanical strength and insufficient stability. For promoting the reconstruction of damaged tissues or organs, different types of dECM-based composite platforms have been designed to mimic tissue microenvironment, including by integrating with natural polymer or/and syntenic polymer or adding bioactive factors. In this review, we summarized the research progress of dECM-based composite scaffolds in regenerative medicine, highlighting the critical challenges and future perspectives related to the medical application of these composite materials.

[PMID: 37300523 DOI: 10.1002/biot.202300094] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/26/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Periosteum has shown potential as an effective barrier membrane for guided bone regeneration (GBR). However, if recognized as a "foreign body," insertion of a barrier membrane in GBR treatment will inevitably alter the local immune microenvironment and subsequently influence bone regeneration. The aim of this investigation was to fabricate decellularized periosteum (DP) and investigate its immunomodulatory properties in GBR. DP was successfully fabricated from periosteum from the mini-pig cranium. In vitro experiments indicated that the DP scaffold modulated macrophage polarization toward a pro-regenerative M2 phenotype, which in turn facilitated migration and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. A rat GBR model with a cranial critical-size defect was established, and our in vivo experiment confirmed the beneficial effects of DP on the local immune microenvironment and bone regeneration. Collectively, the findings of this study indicate that the prepared DP possesses immunomodulatory properties and represents a promising barrier membrane for GBR procedures.

Bioengineering (Basel) 2023; 10:916. [PMID: 37627801 PMCID: PMC10451227 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering10080916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Due to its avascular organization and low mitotic ability, articular cartilage possesses limited intrinsic regenerative capabilities. The aim of this study is to achieve one-step cartilage repair in situ via combining bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) with a xenogeneic Acellular dermal matrix (ADM) membrane. The ADM membranes were harvested from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats through standard decellularization procedures. The characterization of the scaffolds was measured, including the morphology and physical properties of the ADM membrane. The in vitro experiments included the cell distribution, chondrogenic matrix quantification, and viability evaluation of the scaffolds. Adult male New Zealand white rabbits were used for the in vivo evaluation. Isolated microfracture was performed in the control (MF group) in the left knee and the tested ADM group was included as an experimental group when an ADM scaffold was implanted through matching with the defect after microfracture in the right knee. At 6, 12, and 24 weeks post-surgery, the rabbits were sacrificed for further research. The ADM could adsorb water and had excellent porosity. The bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) grew well when seeded on the ADM scaffold, demonstrating a characteristic spindle-shaped morphology. The ADM group exhibited an excellent proliferative capacity as well as the cartilaginous matrix and collagen production of the BMSCs. In the rabbit model, the ADM group showed earlier filling, more hyaline-like neo-tissue formation, and better interfacial integration between the defects and normal cartilage compared with the microfracture (MF) group at 6, 12, and 24 weeks post-surgery. In addition, neither intra-articular inflammation nor a rejection reaction was observed after the implantation of the ADM scaffold. This study provides a promising biomaterial-based strategy for cartilage repair and is worth further investigation in large animal models.

Abstract
Natural polymers are increasingly being used in tissue engineering due to their ability to mimic the extracellular matrix and to act as a scaffold for cell growth, as well as their possible combination with other osteogenic factors, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from dental pulp, in an attempt to enhance bone regeneration during the healing of a bone defect. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the repair of mandibular defects filled with a new collagen/chitosan scaffold, seeded or not with MSCs derived from dental pulp. Twenty-eight rats were submitted to surgery for creation of a defect in the right mandibular ramus and divided into the following groups: G1 (control group; mandibular defect with clot); G2 (defect filled with dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells-DPSCs); G3 (defect filled with collagen/chitosan scaffold); and G4 (collagen/chitosan scaffold seeded with DPSCs). The analysis of the scaffold microstructure showed a homogenous material with an adequate percentage of porosity. Macroscopic and radiological examination of the defect area after 6 weeks post-surgery revealed the absence of complete repair, as well as absence of signs of infection, which could indicate rejection of the implants. Histomorphometric analysis of the mandibular defect area showed that bone formation occurred in a centripetal fashion, starting from the borders and progressing towards the center of the defect in all groups. Lower bone formation was observed in G1 when compared to the other groups and G2 exhibited greater osteoregenerative capacity, followed by G4 and G3. In conclusion, the scaffold used showed osteoconductivity, no foreign body reaction, malleability and ease of manipulation, but did not obtain promising results for association with DPSCs.

Abstract
Orthopaedic surgery requires grafts with sufficient mechanical strength. For this purpose, decellularized tissue is an available option that lacks the complications of autologous tissue. However, it is not widely used in orthopaedic surgeries. This study investigated clinical trials of the use of decellularized tissue grafts in orthopaedic surgery. Using the ClinicalTrials.gov (CTG) and the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP) databases, we comprehensively surveyed clinical trials of decellularized tissue use in orthopaedic surgeries registered before 1 September 2022. We evaluated the clinical results, tissue processing methods, and commercial availability of the identified products using academic literature databases and manufacturers' websites. We initially identified 4,402 clinical trials, 27 of which were eligible for inclusion and analysis, including nine shoulder surgery trials, eight knee surgery trials, two ankle surgery trials, two hand surgery trials, and six peripheral nerve graft trials. Nine of the trials were completed. We identified only one product that will be commercially available for use in knee surgery with significant mechanical load resistance. Peracetic acid and gamma irradiation were frequently used for sterilization. Despite the demand for decellularized tissue, few decellularized tissue products are currently commercially available, particularly for the knee joint. To be viable in orthopaedic surgery, decellularized tissue must exhibit biocompatibility and mechanical strength, and these requirements are challenging for the clinical application of decellularized tissue. However, the variety of available decellularized products has recently increased. Therefore, decellularized grafts may become a promising option in orthopaedic surgery.

Abstract
This work reports on the fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) magnesium substituted bi-phasic calcium phosphate (Mg-BCP) scaffolds by gel-casting, their structural and physico-chemical characterization, and on the assessment of their in vitro and in vivo performances. The crystalline phase assemblage, chemical functional groups and porous morphology features of the scaffolds were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), respectively. The sintered scaffolds revealed an interconnected porosity with pore sizes ranging from 4.3 to 7.28 μm. The scaffolds exhibited good biomineralization activity upon immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF), while an in vitro study using MG-63 cell line cultures confirmed their improved biocompatibility, cell proliferation and bioactivity. Bone grafting of 3D scaffolds was performed in non-load bearing bone defects surgically created in tibia of rabbits, used as animal model. Histological and radiological observations indicated the successful restoration of bone defects. The overall results confirmed the suitability of the scaffolds to be further tested as synthetic bone grafts in bone regeneration surgeries and in bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
It is known that an excellent hyaline cartilage phenotype, an internal microstructure with safe crosslinking and available size flexibility are the key factors of cartilage grafts that allow for clinical application. Living hyaline cartilage grafts (LhCGs) constructed by phase-transfer hydrogel (PTCC) systems were reported to have a hyaline phenotype and bionic microstructure. By employing chondrocytes to secrete matrix in the hydrogel and then removing the material to obtain material-free tissue in vitro, LhCG technology exhibited superior performance in cartilage repair. However, PTCC systems could only produce small-sized LhCGs because of medium delivery limitations, which hinders the clinical application of LhCGs. In this study, we prepared three different noncrosslinked gelatin microspheres with diameters from 200 μm to 500 μm, which replaced the original pore-forming agent. The new PTCC system with the mixed and gradient porous structure was used for the preparation of superlarge LhCGs with a continuous structure and hyaline phenotype. Compared to the original technique, the porous gradient structure promoted nutrient delivery and cartilage matrix secretion. The small size of the microporous structure promoted the rapid formation of matrix junctions. The experimental group with a mixed gradient increased cartilage matrix secretion significantly by more than 50% compared to the that of the control. The LhCG final area reached 7 cm2without obvious matrix stratification in the mixed gradient group. The design of the scale-changed porous PTCC system will make LhCGs more promising for clinical application.

Abstract
Various modifications have been performed on biomaterials to improve their applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, the challenges of immunogenicity and biocompatibility existed since the application of biomaterials. As a method to solve this problem, the decellularization process removes most living cells from biomaterials to minimize their immunogenicity; and preserves the native structures and compositions that favour cell growth and the subsequent construction of functional tissue. On the other hand, genetic modification of biomaterials aims to achieve specific functions (low immunogenicity, osteogenesis, etc.) or analyse the genetic mechanisms underlying some diseases (cardiac dysfunction, liver fibrosis, etc.). The combination of decellularization and gene modification is highly superior to biomaterials; thus, we must obtain a deeper understanding of these novel biomaterials. In this review, we summarize the fabrication approaches and current applications of genetically modified decellularized biomaterials and then discuss their disadvantages and corresponding future perspectives.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is one of the most promising additive manufacturing technologies for fabricating various biomimetic architectures of tissues and organs. In this context, the bioink, a critical element for biofabrication, is a mixture of biomaterials and living cells used in 3D printing to create cell-laden structures. Recently, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM)-based bioinks derived from natural tissues have garnered enormous attention from researchers due to their unique and complex biochemical properties. This review initially presents the details of the natural ECM and its role in cell growth and metabolism. Further, we briefly emphasize the commonly used decellularization treatment procedures and subsequent evaluations for the quality control of the dECM. In addition, we summarize some of the common bioink preparation strategies, the 3D bioprinting approaches, and the applicability of 3D-printed dECM bioinks to tissue engineering. Finally, we present some of the challenges in this field and the prospects for future development.

[PMID: 35631979 PMCID: PMC9145843 DOI: 10.3390/polym14102097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The musculoskeletal (MS) system consists of bone, cartilage, tendon, ligament, and skeletal muscle, which forms the basic framework of the human body. This system plays a vital role in appropriate body functions, including movement, the protection of internal organs, support, hematopoiesis, and postural stability. Therefore, it is understandable that the damage or loss of MS tissues significantly reduces the quality of life and limits mobility. Tissue engineering and its applications in the healthcare industry have been rapidly growing over the past few decades. Tissue engineering has made significant contributions toward developing new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of MS defects and relevant disease. Among various biomaterials used for tissue engineering, natural polymers offer superior properties that promote optimal cell interaction and desired biological function. Natural polymers have similarity with the native ECM, including enzymatic degradation, bio-resorb and non-toxic degradation products, ability to conjugate with various agents, and high chemical versatility, biocompatibility, and bioactivity that promote optimal cell interaction and desired biological functions. This review summarizes recent advances in applying natural-based scaffolds for musculoskeletal tissue engineering.

Abstract
Tissue engineered cartilaginous constructs have meet great advances in the past decades as a treatment for osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease affecting people all over the world as the population ages. Scaffold-free tissue engineered constructs are designed and developed in recent years with only cells and cell-derived matrix involved. Scaffold-free tissue constructs do not require cell adherence on exogenous materials and are superior to scaffold-based constructs in (1) relying on only cells to produce matrix, (2) not interfering cell-cell signaling, cell migration or small molecules diffusion after implantation and (3) introducing no exogenous impurities. In this review, three main scaffold-free methodologies for cartilage tissue engineering, the cell sheet technology, the phase transfer cell culture-living hyaline cartilage graft (PTCC-LhCG) system and the cell aggregate-based (bottom-up) methods, were reviewed, covering mold fabrication, decellularization and 3D bioprinting. The recent advances, medical applications, superiority and drawbacks were elaborated in detail.

Abstract
Interfacing affinity between grafts and host tissues is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed for the clinical translation of tissue engineered extracellular matrix (ECM) based grafts. Dopamine is known as a universal adhesive, the catechol groups on which could form chelating bonds with metal ions. Herein we developed an adhesive nano-coating on ECM based grafts which could crosslink in situ with ferric ions for fixation with surrounding tissues after implantation without affecting the porous structures of the grafts. Therefore, decellularized living hyaline cartilage graft (dLhCG), a model ECM-based graft, with dopamine based natural biological material adhesive coatings was manufactured to address the interfacing affinity issue between ECM-based grafts and cartilage. A macromolecule backbone was needed for the coating material to avoid the formation of a rigid crosslinking system and adverse effects caused by small molecules of dopamine. Chondroitin sulfate (CS), a cartilage derived sulfated GAG, was chosen as the backbone to fabricate dopamine modified CS (CSD) with no impurities introduced to the joint. Dopamine modified serum albumin (BCD) was also chosen for the favorable biocompatibility of albumin. Both dLhCG coated with CSD and dLhCG coated with BCD showed enhanced adhesive strength with cartilage after chelating with ferric ions in situ compared to dLhCG and further potential in improving the interfacing affinity of dLhCG with cartilage.

Artificial decellularized extracellular matrix improves the regenerative capacity of adipose tissue derived stem cells on 3D printed polycaprolactone scaffolds.

Abstract
Ideal tissue engineering frameworks should be both an optimal biological microenvironment and a shape and stability providing framework. In this study we tried to combine the advantages of cell-derived artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) with those of 3D printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds. In Part A, both chondrogenic and osteogenic ECMs were produced by human adipose derived stem cells (hASCs) on 3D-printed PCL scaffolds and then decellularized to create cell free functionalized PCL scaffolds, named acPCL and aoPCL respectively. The decellularization resulted in a significant reduction of the DNA content as well as the removal of nuclei while the ECM was largely preserved. In Part B the bioactivation and the effect of the ac/aoPCL scaffolds on the proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression of hASCs was investigated. The ac/aoPCL scaffolds were found to be non-toxic and allow good adhesion, but do not affect proliferation. In the in vitro investigation of cartilage regeneration, biochemical analysis showed that acPCL scaffolds have an additional effect on chondrogenic differentiation as gene expression analysis showed markers of cartilage hypertrophy. The aoPCL showed a large influence on the differentiation of hASCs. In control medium they were able to stimulate hASCs to produce calcium alone and all genes relevant investigated for osteogenesis were significantly higher expressed on aoPCL than on unmodified PCL. Therefore, we believe that ac/aoPCL scaffolds have a high potential to improve regenerative capacity of unmodified PCL scaffolds and should be further investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND BACKGROUND Recently, decellularized matrix (DCM) is considered as a new biomaterial for tissue regeneration. To explore the possible application of DCM in periodontal regeneration, the effect of DCM from three different cells on the proliferation and differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) was investigated. METHODS DCM derived from human periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), dental pulp cells (DPCs), and gingival fibroblasts (GFs) were fabricated using Triton X-100/NH4 OH combined with DNase I. Allogeneic PDLSCs were cultured on PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM, respectively. The proliferative capacity of PDLSCs was evaluated by PicoGreen assay kit. The expression of alkaline phosphatase (ALP), runt-related transcription factor-2 (RUNX2), osteocalcin (OCN), collagen I (COL1), periostin (POSTN), and cementum protein 1 (CEMP1) were detected by qRT-PCR and western blotting. RESULTS PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM had similar and integrated networks of extracellular matrix, as well as significantly decreased DNA content. Compared with control group in which PDLSCs were directly seeded in culture plates, PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM promoted the proliferation of re-seeded PDLSCs. Additionally, PDLSCs on DCM exhibited higher mRNA and protein expression levels of ALP, RUNX2, OCN, and COL1. The expression of POSTN in PDLC-DCM group was significantly higher than control group at both mRNA and protein levels. CONCLUSIONS PDLC-DCM, DPC-DCM, and GF-DCM could enhance the proliferation of PDLSCs. PDLC-DCM facilitated osteogenic differentiation and periodontal ligament differentiation of PDLSCs, while DPC-DCM and GF-DCM promoted osteogenic differentiation.

Abstract
Periodontitis would cause dental tissue damage locally. Biomaterials substantially affect the surrounding immune microenvironment through treatment-oriented local inflammatory remodeling in dental periodontitis. This remodeling process is conducive to wound healing and periodontal tissue regeneration. Recent progress in understanding the foreign body response (FBR) and immune regulation, including cell heterogeneity, and cell-cell and cell-material interactions, has provided new insights into the design criteria for biomaterials applied in treatment of periodontitis. This review discusses recent progress and perspectives in the immune regulation effects of biomaterials to augment or reconstruct soft and hard tissue in an inflammatory microenvironment of periodontitis.

Abstract
Scaffolds for tissue engineering aim to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM) that provides physical support and biochemical signals to modulate multiple cell behaviors. However, the majority of currently used biomaterials are oversimplified and therefore fail to provide a niche required for the stimulation of tissue regeneration. In the present study, 3D decellularized ECM (dECM) scaffolds derived from mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) spheroids and with intricate matrix composition are developed. Specifically, application of macromolecular crowding (MMC) to MSC spheroid cultures facilitate ECM assembly in a 3D configuration, resulting in the accumulation of ECM and associated bioactive components. Decellularized 3D dECM constructs produced under MMC are able to adequately preserve the microarchitecture of structural ECM components and are characterized by higher retention of growth factors. This results in a stronger proangiogenic bioactivity as compared to constructs produced under uncrowded conditions. These dECM scaffolds can be homogenously populated by endothelial cells, which direct the macroassembly of the structures into larger cell-carrying constructs. Application of empty scaffolds enhances intrinsic revascularization in vivo, indicating that the 3D dECM scaffolds represent optimal proangiogenic bioactive blocks for the construction of larger engineered tissue constructs.

Abstract
In the field of regenerative medicine, advances in tissue engineering have surpassed the reconstruction of individual tissues or organs and begun to work towards engineering systemic factors such as immune objects and functions. The immune system plays a crucial role in protecting and regulating systemic functions in the human body. Engineered immune tissues and organs have shown potential in recovering dysfunctions and aplasia of the immune system and the evasion from immune-mediated inflammatory responses and rejection elicited by engineered implants from allogeneic or xenogeneic sources are also being pursued to facilitate clinical transplantation of tissue engineered grafts. Here, current progress in tissue engineering to mimic or modulate immune functions is reviewed and elaborated from two perspectives: 1) engineering of immune tissues and organs per se and 2) immune evasion of host immunoinflammatory rejection by tissue-engineered implants.

Abstract
Biological materials derived from extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins have garnered interest as their composition is very similar to that of native tissue. Herein, we report the use of human cornea derived decellularized ECM (dECM) microparticles dispersed in human fibrin sealant as an accessible therapeutic alternative for corneal anterior stromal reconstruction. dECM microparticles had good particle size distribution (≤10 µm) and retained the majority of corneal ECM components found in native tissue. Fibrin-dECM hydrogels exhibited compressive modulus of 70.83 ± 9.17 kPa matching that of native tissue, maximum burst pressure of 34.3 ± 3.7 kPa, and demonstrated a short crosslinking time of ~17 min. The fibrin-dECM hydrogels were found to be biodegradable, cytocompatible, non-mutagenic, non-sensitive, non-irritant, and supported the growth and maintained the phenotype of encapsulated human corneal stem cells (hCSCs) in vitro. In a rabbit model of anterior lamellar keratectomy, fibrin-dECM bio-adhesives promoted corneal re-epithelialization within 14 days, induced stromal tissue repair, and displayed integration with corneal tissues in vivo. Overall, our results suggest that the incorporation of cornea tissue-derived ECM microparticles in fibrin hydrogels is non-toxic, safe, and shows tremendous promise as a minimally invasive therapeutic approach for the treatment of superficial corneal epithelial wounds and anterior stromal injuries.

Abstract
Xenogeneic grafts are promising candidates for transplantation therapy due to their easily accessible sources. Nevertheless, the immune and inflammatory responses induced by xenografts need to be addressed for clinical use. A novel and facile method was introduced for the attenuation of immune and inflammatory responses by extending the immune evasion potential of albumin to the tissue engineering field and coating albumin, which could passivate biomaterial surfaces, onto xenografts. Albumin was first modified by dopamine to enhance its adhesion on graft surfaces. Porcine chondrocytes derived living hyaline cartilage graft (LhCG) and decellularized LhCG (dLhCG) were applied as xenograft models implanted in the omentum of rats. Both LhCG which contained porcine chondrocytes as well as secreted ECM and dLhCG which was mainly composed of the porcine source ECM showed alleviated immune and inflammatory responses after being coated with albumin at cell, protein and gene levels, respectively. Significantly less inflammatory cells including neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes were recruited according to pathological analysis and immunohistochemistry staining with lower gene expression encoding inflammation-related cytokines including MCP-1, IL-6 and IL-1β after employing LhCG and dLhCG with albumin passivation coating.

Abstract
Due to the current lack of innovative and effective therapeutic approaches, tissue engineering (TE) has attracted much attention during the last decades providing new hopes for the treatment of several degenerative disorders. Tissue engineering is a complex procedure, which includes processes of decellularization and recellularization of biological tissues or functionalization of artificial scaffolds by active cells. In this review, we have first discussed those conventional steps, which have led to great advancements during the last several years. Moreover, we have paid special attention to the new methods of post-decellularization that can significantly ameliorate the efficiency of decellularized cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). We propose a series of post-decellularization procedures to overcome the current shortcomings such as low mechanical strength and poor bioactivity to improve decellularized ECM scaffold towards much more efficient and higher integration.

Abstract
This study describes the development of scaffolds based on carboxyethyl chitosan (CEC) and different oxidized cashew gums (CGOx) for tissue engineering (TE) applications. After the physico-chemical characterizations of CEC and CGOx (oxidation degree of 20, 35 and 50%), these macromolecules were used for producing the CGOx-CEC hydrogels through a Schiff base reaction, in the absence of any crosslinking agent. The CGOx-CEC scaffolds obtained after a freeze-drying process were characterized for their morphology, mechanical properties, swelling ability, degradation, and porosity. Those revealed to be highly porous (25-65%), and showed a stable swelling behavior, as well as degradation properties in the absence of enzymes. The use of the cashew gum with higher degree of oxidation led to scaffolds with higher crosslinking densities and increased compressive modulus. None of the hydrogels show cytotoxicity during the 14 days of incubation. Considering all the properties mentioned, these scaffolds are excellent candidates for soft tissue regeneration, owing to the use of eco-friendly starting materials and the easy tuning of their properties.

Abstract
The use of decellularized native allogenic or xenogenic cartilaginous extracellular matrix (ECM) biomaterials is widely expanding in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we aimed to develop an acellular, affordable, biodegradable, easily available goat conchal cartilaginous ECM derived scaffolding biomaterial for repair and regeneration of osteochondral defects in rabbits. Cartilages harvested from freshly collected goat ears were decellularized using chemical agents, namely, hypotonic-hypertonic (HH) buffer and Triton X-100 solution, separately. The morphologies and ultrastructure orientations of the decellularized cartilages remained unaltered in spite of complete cellular loss. Furthermore, when the acellular cartilaginous ECMs were cultured with murine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (C3H10T1/2 cells), cellular infiltration and proliferation were thoroughly monitored using SEM, DAPI and FDA stained images, whereas the MTT assay proved the biocompatibility of the matrices. The increasing amounts of secreted ECM proteins (collagen and sGAG) indicated successful chondrogenic differentiation of the MSCs in the presence of the treated cartilage samples. In vivo biocompatibility studies showed no significant immune response or tissue rejection in the treated samples but tissue necrosis in control samples after 3 months. Upon implantation of the constructs in rabbits' osteochondral defects for 3 months, the histological and micro-CT evaluation revealed significant enhancement and regeneration of neocartilage and subchondral bony tissues. The IGF-1 loaded cartilaginous constructs showed comparatively better healing response after 3 months. Our results showed that decellularized xenogenic cartilaginous biomaterials preserved the bioactivity and integrity of the matrices that also favored in vitro stem cell proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation and enabled osteochondral regeneration, thus paving a new way for articular cartilage reconstruction.

Abstract
The endometrial injury usually results in intrauterine adhesions (IUAs). However, there is no effective treatment to promote the regeneration of the endometrium currently. The decellularized amnion membrane (AM) is a promising material in human tissue repair and regeneration due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, as well as the preservation of abundant bioactive components. Here, an innovative drug-delivering system based on human amniotic extracellular matrix (HAECM) scaffolds were developed to facilitate endometrium regeneration. The 17β-estradiol (E2) loaded PLGA microspheres (E2-MS) were well dispersed in the scaffolds without altering their high porosity. E2 released from E2-MS-HAECM scaffolds in vitro showed a decreased initial burst release followed with a sustained release for 21 days, which coincided with the female menstrual cycle. Results of cell proliferation suggested E2-MS-HAECM scaffolds had good biocompatibility and provided more biologic guidance of endometrial cell proliferation except for mechanical supports. Additionally, the mRNA expression of growth factors in endometrial cells indicated that HAECM scaffolds could upregulate the expression of EGF and IGF-1 to achieve endometrium regeneration. Therefore, these advantages provide the drug-loaded bioactive scaffolds with new choices for the treatments of IUAs.

Abstract
One of the most important ideas ever produced by the application of materials science to the medical field is the notion of biomaterials. The nanostructured biomaterials play a crucial role in the development of new treatment strategies including not only the replacement of tissues and organs, but also repair and regeneration. They are designed to interact with damaged or injured tissues to induce regeneration, or as a forest for the production of laboratory tissues, so they must be micro-environmentally sensitive. The existing materials have many limitations, including impaired cell attachment, proliferation, and toxicity. Nanotechnology may open new avenues to bone tissue engineering by forming new assemblies similar in size and shape to the existing hierarchical bone structure. Organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials are increasingly used for bone tissue engineering applications because they may allow to overcome some of the current restrictions entailed by bone regeneration methods. This review covers the applications of different organic and inorganic nanobiomaterials in the field of hard tissue engineering.

Abstract
The interactions at the graft-tissue interfaces are critical for the results of engraftments post-implantation. To improve the success rate of the implantations, as well as the quality of the patients' life, understanding the possible reactions between artificial materials and the host tissues is helpful in designing new generations of material-based grafts aiming at inducing specific responses from surrounding tissues for their own reparation and regeneration. To help researchers understand the complicated interactions that occur after implantations and to promote the development of better-designed grafts with improved biocompatibility and patient responses, in this review, the topics will be discussed from the basic reactions that occur chronologically at the graft-tissue interfaces after implantations to the existing and potential applications of the mechanisms of such reactions in designing of grafts. It offers a chance to bring up-to-date advances in the field and new strategies of controlling the graft-tissue interfaces.

Abstract
In cardiovascular surgery, reconstruction and replacement of cardiac and vascular structures are routinely performed. Prosthetic or biological materials traditionally used for this purpose cannot be considered ideal substitutes as they have limited durability and no growth or regeneration potential. Tissue engineering aims to create materials having normal tissue function including capacity for growth and self-repair. These advanced materials can potentially overcome the shortcomings of conventionally used materials, and, if successfully passing all phases of product development, they might provide a better option for both the pediatric and adult patient population requiring cardiovascular interventions. This short review article overviews the most important cardiovascular pathologies where tissue engineered materials could be used, briefly summarizes the main directions of development of these materials, and discusses the hurdles in their clinical translation. At its beginnings in the 1980s, tissue engineering (TE) was defined as “an interdisciplinary field that applies the principles of engineering and the life sciences toward the development of biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function” (1). Currently, the utility of TE products and materials are being investigated in several fields of human medicine, ranging from orthopedics to cardiovascular surgery (2–5). In cardiovascular surgery, reconstruction and replacement of cardiac and vascular structures are routinely performed. Considering the shortcomings of traditionally used materials, the need for advanced materials that can “restore, maintain or improve tissue function” are evident. Tissue engineered substitutes, having growth and regenerative capacity, could fundamentally change the specialty (6). This article overviews the most important cardiovascular pathologies where TE materials could be used, briefly summarizes the main directions of development of TE materials along with their advantages and shortcomings, and discusses the hurdles in their clinical translation.

Abstract
Background Human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) are one of the most promising types of seed cells in periodontal tissue regeneration. Suitable biomaterials are additional essential components that must cooperate with seed cells for in vivo expansion or in vitro implantation. Extracellular matrix (ECM) derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) was recently reported to be a promising substrate with which to culture MSCs that could be applied in biomaterial scaffolds or bioink. Human urine-derived stem cells (hUSCs) have several advantages; their collection is non-invasive and easy, and hUSCs are low in cost, potentially making them a suitable and efficient source of ECM. The purpose of this study was to characterize the biological properties of ECM derived from hUSCs (UECM) and evaluate the effects of UECM on hPDLSCs. Methods hPDLSCs grown on ECM derived from hPDLSCs (PECM) and fibronectin-coated tissue culture plastic (TCP) served as control groups. Both hUSCs and hPDLSCs were seeded on TCP and stimulated to produce ECM. After 8 days of stimulation, the samples were decellularized, leaving only ECM. Then, hPDLSCs were seeded onto UECM-, PECM-, and fibronectin-coated TCP and untreated TCP. Results UECM consists of dense bundles of fibers which contain abundant fibronectin. Both UECM and PECM promoted hPDLSC proliferation, attachment, spreading, and differentiation. Between UECM and PECM, UECM enhanced proliferation, osteogenesis, and angiogenesis to a greater extent. Though fibronectin appeared to be the abundant component of UECM, its performance was inferior to that of UECM. Conclusions Our study provides an original perspective on different cell-specific ECMs and suggests UECM as a suitable biomaterial in which to culture hPDLSCs as UECM enhances their biological functions.

Abstract
Aim: Cardiac extracellular matrix (cECM) scaffolds are promising biomaterials for clinical applications. Our aim is to determine the immunogenicity of decellularized scaffolds from different sources for use as artificial organs during organ transplantation. Materials & methods: We transplanted Lewis rats with syngeneic (Lewis rat cECM), allogeneic (BN rat cECM) or xenogeneic (hamster cECM) decellularized cardiac scaffolds. Acute vascular and cellular rejection was quantified by immunohistochemistry and immune cell infiltration. Results: BN rat and hamster hearts were rejected following transplantation. BN and hamster cECMs had similarly low immunogenicity compared with Lewis rat cECMs and did not lead to increased rejection. Conclusion: We found that scaffolds from all sources did not induce vascular or cellular rejection and exhibited low immunogenicity.
