Abstract
BACKGROUND Bioscaffolds and cells are two main components in the regeneration of damaged tissues via cell therapy. Umbilical cord stem cells are among the most well-known cell types for this purpose. The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the pretreatment of the foreskin acellular matrix (FAM) by monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and Lactobacillus casei supernatant (LCS) on the attraction of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hucMSC). METHODS AND RESULTS The expression of certain cell migration genes was studied using qRT-PCR. In addition to cell migration, transdifferentiation of these cells to the epidermal-like cells was evaluated via immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunocytochemistry (ICC) of cytokeratin 19 (CK19). The hucMSC showed more tissue tropism in the presence of MPLA and LCS pretreated FAM compared to the untreated control group. We confirmed this result by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, glycosaminoglycan (GAG), collagen, and DNA content. Furthermore, IHC and ICC data demonstrated that both treatments increase the protein expression level of CK19. CONCLUSION Pretreatment of acellular bioscaffolds by MPLA or LCS can increase the migration rate of cells and also transdifferentiation of hucMSC to epidermal-like cells without growth factors. This strategy suggests a new approach in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate alterations in the vegf gene expression as an angiogenic factor in mouse embryo fibroblasts seeded on the decellularized liver fragments. Methods Liver tissue samples (n = 10) collected from adult male mice were randomly divided into decellularized and native control groups. Tissues were decellularized by treating with 1% Triton X-100 and 0.1% SDS for 24 hours and assessed by H&E staining and SEM. Then DNA content analysis and toxicity tests were performed. By centrifugation, DiI-labeled mouse embryo fibroblasts were seeded on each scaffold and cultured for one week. The recellularized scaffolds were studied by H&E staining, SEM, and LSCM. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, the expression of the vegf gene in these samples was investigated using real-time RT-PCR. Results Our observations showed that the decellularized tissues had morphology and porous structure similar to the control group, and their DNA content significantly reduced (p < 0.05) and reached to 4.12% of the control group. The MTT test indicated no significant cellular toxicity for the decellularized scaffolds. Light microscopy, SEM, and LSCM observations confirmed the attachment and penetration of embryonic fibroblast cells on the surface and into different depths of the scaffolds. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of vegf gene expression in the cultured cells in the presence and absence of a scaffold. Conclusion The reconstructed scaffold had no effect on vegf gene expression. Decellularized mouse liver tissue recellularized by embryonic fibroblasts could have an application in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Trophoblast stem (TS) cells were first isolated from the mouse placenta; however, little is known about their maintenance and niche in vivo. TS cells, like other stem cells, have a unique microenvironment in which the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a component. Placental pathology is associated with ECM change. However, how these changes and the individual ECM components impact the maintenance or differentiation of TS cells has not been established. This study identified which ECM component(s) maintain the greatest expression of markers associated with undifferentiated mouse trophoblast stem (mTS) cells and which alter the profile of markers of differentiation based on mRNA analysis. mTS cells cultured on individual ECM components and subsequent quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that laminin promoted the expression of markers associated with undifferentiated TS cells, fibronectin promoted gene expression associated with syncytiotrophoblast (SynT) layer II cells, and collagen IV promoted the expression of genes associated with differentiated trophoblast. To investigate whether pathological placental ECM influenced the expression of genes associated with different trophoblast subtypes, the mouse model of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced pancreatic β cell ablation and diabetes was used. Female mice administered STZ (blood glucose ≥300 mg/dL) or control (blood glucose ≤150 mg/dL) were mated. Placental pathology at embryonic day (E)14.5 was confirmed with reduced fetal blood space area, reduced expression of the pericyte marker αSMA, and decreased expression of ECM proteins. mTS cells cultured on ECM isolated from STZ placenta were associated with reduced expression of undifferentiated mTS markers and increased expression of genes associated with terminally differentiated trophoblast [Gcm-1 and SynA (SynT) and junctional zone Tpbpa and Prl2c2]. Altogether, these results support the value of using ECM isolated from the placenta as a tool for understanding trophoblast contribution to placental pathology.

Mice Placental ECM Components May Provide A Three-Dimensional Placental Microenvironment. BIOENGINEERING (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 10:bioengineering10010016.

Abstract
Bioethical limitations impair deeper studies in human placental physiology, then most studies use human term placentas or murine models. To overcome these challenges, new models have been proposed to mimetize the placental three-dimensional microenvironment. The placental extracellular matrix plays an essential role in several processes, being a part of the establishment of materno-fetal interaction. Regarding these aspects, this study aimed to investigate term mice placental ECM components, highlighting its collagenous and non-collagenous content, and proposing a potential three-dimensional model to mimetize the placental microenvironment. For that, 18.5-day-old mice placenta, both control and decellularized (n = 3 per group) were analyzed on Orbitrap Fusion Lumos spectrometer (ThermoScientific) and LFQ intensity generated on MaxQuant software. Proteomic analysis identified 2317 proteins. Using ECM and cell junction-related ontologies, 118 (5.1%) proteins were filtered. Control and decellularized conditions had no significant differential expression on 76 (64.4%) ECM and cell junction-related proteins. Enriched ontologies in the cellular component domain were related to cell junction, collagen and lipoprotein particles, biological process domain, cell adhesion, vasculature, proteolysis, ECM organization, and molecular function. Enriched pathways were clustered in cell adhesion and invasion, and labyrinthine vasculature regulation. These preserved ECM proteins are responsible for tissue stiffness and could support cell anchoring, modeling a three-dimensional structure that may allow placental microenvironment reconstruction.

Abstract
Human reproductive organs are of vital importance to the life of an individual and the reproduction of human populations. So far, traditional methods have a limited effect in recovering the function and fertility of reproductive organs and tissues. Thus, aim to replace and facilitate the regrowth of damaged or diseased tissue, various biomaterials are developed to offer hope to overcome these difficulties and help gain further research progress in reproductive tissue engineering. In this review, we focus on the biomaterials and their four main applications in reproductive tissue engineering: in vitro generation and culture of reproductive cells; development of reproductive organoids and models; in vivo transplantation of reproductive cells or tissues; and regeneration of reproductive tissue. In reproductive tissue engineering, designing biomaterials for different applications with different mechanical properties, structure, function, and microenvironment is challenging and important, and deserves more attention. Various biomaterials have been developed and used in reproductive tissue engineering. 3D culture systems can lead to better cell-cell interactions for in vitro production of reproductive cells. Reproductive organoids and models are formed by biomaterials to simulate the environment of natural reproductive organs. Biomaterials should promote vascular regeneration and resist inflammation for in-situ reproductive tissue regeneration.

Abstract
AbstractCollagen, the main component of mammal skin, has been traditionally used in leather manufacturing for thousands of years due to its diverse physicochemical properties. Collagen is the most abundant protein in mammals and the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The properties of collagen also make it an ideal building block for the engineering of materials for a range of biomedical applications. Reproductive medicine, especially human fertility preservation strategies and reproductive organ regeneration, has attracted significant attention in recent years as it is key in resolving the growing social concern over aging populations worldwide. Collagen-based biomaterials such as collagen hydrogels, decellularized ECM (dECM), and bioengineering techniques including collagen-based 3D bioprinting have facilitated the engineering of reproductive tissues. This review summarizes the recent progress in applying collagen-based biomaterials in reproductive. Furthermore, we discuss the prospects of collagen-based materials for engineering artificial reproductive tissues, hormone replacement therapy, and reproductive organ reconstruction, aiming to inspire new thoughts and advancements in engineered reproductive tissues research.

Abstract
Liver, as a vital organ, is responsible for a wide range of biological functions to maintain homeostasis and any type of damages to hepatic tissue contributes to disease progression and death. Viral infection, trauma, carcinoma, alcohol misuse and inborn errors of metabolism are common causes of liver diseases are a severe known reason for leading to end-stage liver disease or liver failure. In either way, liver transplantation is the only treatment option which is, however, hampered by the increasing scarcity of organ donor. Over the past years, considerable efforts have been directed toward liver regeneration aiming at developing new approaches and methodologies to enhance the transplantation process. These approaches include producing decellularized scaffolds from the liver organ, 3D bio-printing system, and nano-based 3D scaffolds to simulate the native liver microenvironment. The application of small molecules and micro-RNAs and genetic manipulation in favor of hepatic differentiation of distinct stem cells could also be exploited. All of these strategies will help to facilitate the application of stem cells in human medicine. This article reviews the most recent strategies to generate a high amount of mature hepatocyte-like cells and updates current knowledge on liver regenerative medicine.
