[PMID: 38897519 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133217] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Recent research focuses on fabricating scaffolds imitating the extracellular matrix (ECM) in texture, composition, and functionality. Moreover, specific nano-bio-particles can enhance cell differentiation. Decellularized ECM nanoparticles possess all of the mentioned properties. In this research, cartilage ECM, extracted from the cow's femur condyle, was decellularized, and ECM nanoparticles were synthesized. Finally, nanocomposite electrospun fibers containing polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), chitosan (Cs) nanoparticles, and ECM nanoparticles were fabricated and characterized. TEM and DLS results revealed ECM nanoparticle sizes of 17.51 and 21.6 nm, respectively. Optimal performance was observed in the scaffold with 0.75 wt% ECM nanoparticles (PHB-Cs/0.75E). By adding 0.75 wt% ECM, the ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break increased by about 29 % and 21 %, respectively, while the water contact angle and crystallinity decreased by about 36° and 2 %, respectively. Uneven and rougher surfaces of the PHB-Cs/0.75E were determined by FESEM and AFM images, respectively. TEM images verified the uniform dispersion of nanoparticles within the fibers. After 70 days of degradation in PBS, the PHB-Cs/0.75E and PHB-Cs scaffolds demonstrated insignificant weight loss differences. Eventually, enhanced viability, attachment, and proliferation of the human costal chondrocytes on the PHB-Cs/0.75E scaffold, concluded from MTT, SEM, and DAPI staining, confirmed its potential for cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Nerve injuries pose a drastic threat to nerve mobility and sensitivity and lead to permanent dysfunction due to low regenerative capacity of mature neurons. The electrical stimuli that can be provided by electroactive materials are some of the most effective tools for the formation of soft tissues, including nerves. Electric output can provide a distinctly favorable bioelectrical microenvironment, which is especially relevant for the nervous system. Piezoelectric biomaterials have attracted attention in the field of neural tissue engineering owing to their biocompatibility and ability to generate piezoelectric surface charges. In this review, an outlook of the most recent achievements in the field of piezoelectric biomaterials is described with an emphasis on piezoelectric polymers for neural tissue engineering. First, general recommendations for the design of an optimal nerve scaffold are discussed. Then, specific mechanisms determining nerve regeneration via piezoelectric stimulation are considered. Activation of piezoelectric responses via natural body movements, ultrasound, and magnetic fillers is also examined. The use of magnetoelectric materials in combination with alternating magnetic fields is thought to be the most promising due to controllable reproducible cyclic deformations and deep tissue permeation by magnetic fields without tissue heating. In vitro and in vivo applications of nerve guidance scaffolds and conduits made of various piezopolymers are reviewed too. Finally, challenges and prospective research directions regarding piezoelectric biomaterials promoting nerve regeneration are discussed. Thus, the most relevant scientific findings and strategies in neural tissue engineering are described here, and this review may serve as a guideline both for researchers and clinicians.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve injury poses a threat to the mobility and sensitivity of a nerve, thereby leading to permanent function loss due to the low regenerative capacity of mature neurons. To date, the most widely clinically applied approach to bridging nerve injuries is autologous nerve grafting, which faces challenges such as donor site morbidity, donor shortages, and the necessity of a second surgery. An effective therapeutic strategy is urgently needed worldwide to overcome the current limitations. Herein, a magnetic nerve guidance conduit (NGC) based on biocompatible biodegradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and 8 wt % of magnetite nanoparticles modified by citric acid (Fe3O4-CA) was fabricated by electrospinning. The crystalline structure of NGCs was studied by X-ray diffraction, which indicated an enlarged β-phase of PHB in the composite conduit compared to a pure PHB conduit. Tensile tests revealed greater ductility of PHB/Fe3O4-CA: the composite conduit has Young's modulus of 221 ± 52 MPa and an elongation at break of 28.6 ± 2.9%, comparable to clinical materials. Saturation magnetization (σs) of Fe3O4-CA and PHB/Fe3O4-CA is 61.88 ± 0.29 and 7.44 ± 0.07 emu/g, respectively. The water contact angle of the PHB/Fe3O4-CA conduit is lower as compared to pure PHB, while surface free energy (σ) is significantly higher, which was attributed to higher surface roughness and an amorphous phase as well as possible PHB/Fe3O4-CA interface interactions. In vitro, the conduits supported the proliferation of rat mesenchymal stem cells (rMSCs) and SH-SY5Y cells in a low-frequency magnetic field (0.67 Hz, 68 mT). In vivo, the conduits were used to bridge damaged sciatic nerves in rats; pure PHB and composite PHB/Fe3O4-CA conduits did not cause acute inflammation and performed a barrier function, which promotes nerve regeneration. Thus, these conduits are promising as implants for the regeneration of peripheral nerves.

Abstract
The field of hybrid materials has grown so wildly in the last 30 years that writing a comprehensive review has turned into an impossible mission. Yet, the need for a general view of the field remains, and it would be certainly useful to draw a scientific and technological map connecting the dots of the very different subfields of hybrid materials, a map which could relate the essential common characteristics of these fascinating materials while providing an overview of the very different combinations, synthetic approaches, and final applications formulated in this field, which has become a whole world. That is why we decided to write this metareview, that is, a review of reviews that could provide an eagle's eye view of a complex and varied landscape of materials which nevertheless share a common driving force: the power of hybridization.

Evaluation of the effects of zein incorporation on physical, mechanical, and biological properties of polyhydroxybutyrate electrospun scaffold for bone tissue engineering applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 253:126843. [PMID: 37703978 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Revised: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 09/08/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023]
Abstract
Materials and fabrication methods significantly influence the scaffold's final features in tissue engineering. This study aimed to blend zein with polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) at 5, 10, and 15 wt%, fabricate scaffolds using electrospinning, and then characterize them. SEM and mechanical analyses identified the scaffold with 10 wt% zein (PHB-10Z) as the optimal sample. Incorporating 10 wt% zein reduced fiber diameter from 894 ± 122 to 531 ± 42 nm while increasing ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break by approximately 53 % and 70 %, respectively. FTIR proved zein's presence in the scaffolds and possible hydrogen bonding with PHB. TGA confirmed the miscibility of polymers. DSC and XRD analyses indicated lower crystallinity for the PHB-10Z than for PHB. AFM evaluation indicated a rougher surface for the PHB-10Z in comparison to PHB. The PHB-10Z demonstrated a more hydrophobic surface and less weight loss after 100 days of degradation in PBS than PHB. The free radical scavenging assay exhibited antioxidant activity for the zein-containing scaffold. Eventually, enhanced cell attachment, viability, and differentiation in the PHB-10Z scaffold drawn from SEM, MTT, ALP activity, and Alizarin red staining of MG-63 cells confirmed that PHB-zein electrospun scaffold is a potent candidate for bone tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Infection and rejection in musculoskeletal trauma often pose challenges for natural healing, prompting the exploration of biomimetic organ and tissue transplantation as a common alternative solution. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a large family of biopolyesters synthesised in microorganism, demonstrating excellent biocompatibility and controllable biodegradability for tissue remodelling and drug delivery. With different monomer-combination and polymer-types, multi-mechanical properties of PHAs making them have great application prospects in medical devices with stretching, compression, twist in long time, especially in musculoskeletal tissue engineering. This review systematically summarises the applications of PHAs in multiple tissues repair and drug release, encompassing areas such as bone, cartilage, joint, skin, tendons, ligament, cardiovascular tissue, and nervous tissue. It also discusses challenges encountered in their application, including high production costs, potential cytotoxicity, and uncontrollable particle size distribution. In conclusion, PHAs offer a compelling avenue for musculoskeletal system applications, striking a balance between biocompatibility and mechanical performance. However, addressing challenges in their production and application requires further research to unleash their full potential in tackling the complexities of musculoskeletal regeneration.

Review of Piezoelectrical Materials Potentially Useful for Peripheral Nerve Repair. Biomedicines 2023; 11:3195.

Abstract
It has increasingly been recognized that electrical currents play a pivotal role in cell migration and tissue repair, in a process named "galvanotaxis". In this review, we summarize the current evidence supporting the potential benefits of electric stimulation (ES) in the physiology of peripheral nerve repair (PNR). Moreover, we discuss the potential of piezoelectric materials in this context. The use of these materials has deserved great attention, as the movement of the body or of the external environment can be used to power internally the electrical properties of devices used for providing ES or acting as sensory receptors in artificial skin (e-skin). The fact that organic materials sustain spontaneous degradation inside the body means their piezoelectric effect is limited in duration. In the case of PNR, this is not necessarily problematic, as ES is only required during the regeneration period. Arguably, piezoelectric materials have the potential to revolutionize PNR with new biomedical devices that range from scaffolds and nerve-guiding conduits to sensory or efferent components of e-skin. However, much remains to be learned regarding piezoelectric materials, their use in manufacturing of biomedical devices, and their sterilization process, to fine-tune their safe, effective, and predictable in vivo application.

Abstract
The results of constructing 3D scaffolds from degradable poly(3-hydrosbutyrpate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) using FDM technology and studying the structure, mechanical properties, biocompatibility in vitro, and osteoplastic properties in vivo are presented. In the process of obtaining granules, filaments, and scaffolds from the initial polymer material, a slight change in the crystallization and glass transition temperature and a noticeable decrease in molecular weight (by 40%) were registered. During the compression test, depending on the direction of load application (parallel or perpendicular to the layers of the scaffold), the 3D scaffolds had a Young's modulus of 207.52 ± 19.12 and 241.34 ± 7.62 MPa and compressive stress tensile strength of 19.45 ± 2.10 and 22.43 ± 1.89 MPa, respectively. SEM, fluorescent staining with DAPI, and calorimetric MTT tests showed the high biological compatibility of scaffolds and active colonization by NIH 3T3 fibroblasts, which retained their metabolic activity for a long time (up to 10 days). The osteoplastic properties of the 3D scaffolds were studied in the segmental osteotomy test on a model defect in the diaphyseal zone of the femur in domestic Landrace pigs. X-ray and histological analysis confirmed the formation of fully mature bone tissue and complete restoration of the defect in 150 days of observation. The results allow us to conclude that the constructed resorbable 3D scaffolds are promising for bone grafting.

Abstract
The polymeric cytisine-enriched fibers based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) were obtained using electrospinning method. The biocompatibility study, advanced thermal analysis and release of cytisine from the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) fibers were carried out. The nanofibers' morphology was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The formation and description of phases during the thermal processes of fibers by the advanced thermal analysis were examined. The new quantitative thermal analysis of polymeric fibers with cytisine phases based on vibrational, solid and liquid heat capacities was presented. The apparent heat capacity of fibers was measured using the standard differential scanning calorimetry. The quantitative analysis allowed for the study of the glass transition and melting/crystallization process. The mobile amorphous fraction, degree of crystallinity and rigid amorphous fraction were determined depending on the thermal history of semicrystalline polymeric fibers. Furthermore, the cytisine dissolution behaviour was studied. It was observed that the kinetic of the release from polymeric nanofiber is delayed than for the marketed product. The immunosafety of the tested polymeric nanofibers with cytisine was confirmed by the Food and Drug Agency Guidance as well as the European Medicines Agency. The polymeric matrix with cytisine seems to be a promising candidate for the prolonged release formulation.

Abstract
Bone, like most organs, has the ability to heal naturally and can be repaired slowly when it is slightly injured. However, in the case of bone defects caused by diseases or large shocks, surgical intervention and treatment of bone substitutes are needed, and drugs are actively matched to promote osteogenesis or prevent infection. Oral administration or injection for systemic therapy is a common way of administration in clinic, although it is not suitable for the long treatment cycle of bone tissue, and the drugs cannot exert the greatest effect or even produce toxic and side effects. In order to solve this problem, the structure or carrier simulating natural bone tissue is constructed to control the loading or release of the preparation with osteogenic potential, thus accelerating the repair of bone defect. Bioactive materials provide potential advantages for bone tissue regeneration, such as physical support, cell coverage and growth factors. In this review, we discuss the application of bone scaffolds with different structural characteristics made of polymers, ceramics and other composite materials in bone regeneration engineering and drug release, and look forward to its prospect.

Abstract
Safe and efficient provision of electrical stimulation (ES) for nerve repair and regeneration is a problem that needs to be addressed. In this study, a silk fibroin/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene)/Ti3C2Tx (SF/PVDF-HFP/MXene) composite scaffold with piezoelectricity was developed by electrospinning technology. MXene was loaded to the scaffold to enhance the piezoelectric properties (Output voltage reaches up to 100 mV), mechanical properties, and antibacterial activity. Cell experiments demonstrated piezoelectric stimulation under external ultrasonication for promoting the growth and proliferation of Schwann cells (SCs) cultured on this electrospun scaffold. Further in vivo study with rat sciatic nerve injury model revealed that the SF/PVDF-HFP/MXene nerve conduit could induce the proliferation of SCs, enhance the elongation of axon, and promote axonal myelination. Under the piezoelectric effect of this nerve scaffold, the rats with regenerative nerve exhibited a favorable recovery effect of motor and sensory function, indicating a safe and feasible method of using this SF/PVDF-HFP/MXene piezoelectric scaffold for ES provision in vivo.

Abstract
This article provides a thorough overview of the available resorbable biomaterials appropriate for producing replacements for damaged tissues. In addition, their various properties and application possibilities are discussed as well. Biomaterials are fundamental components in tissue engineering (TE) of scaffolds and play a critical role. They need to exhibit biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability, and non-toxicity, to ensure their ability to function effectively with an appropriate host response. With ongoing research and advancements in biomaterials for medical implants, the objective of this review is to explore recently developed implantable scaffold materials for various tissues. The categorization of biomaterials in this paper includes fossil-based materials (e.g., PCL, PVA, PU, PEG, and PPF), natural or bio-based materials (e.g., HA, PLA, PHB, PHBV, chitosan, fibrin, collagen, starch, and hydrogels), and hybrid biomaterials (e.g., PCL/PLA, PCL/PEG, PLA/PEG, PLA/PHB PCL/collagen, PCL/chitosan, PCL/starch, and PLA/bioceramics). The application of these biomaterials in both hard and soft TE is considered, with a particular focus on their physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties. Furthermore, the interactions between scaffolds and the host immune system in the context of scaffold-driven tissue regeneration are discussed. Additionally, the article briefly mentions the concept of in situ TE, which leverages the self-renewal capacities of affected tissues and highlights the crucial role played by biopolymer-based scaffolds in this strategy.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:3114.

Abstract
Electroactive composite materials are very promising for musculoskeletal tissue engineering because they can be applied in combination with electrostimulation. In this context, novel graphene-based poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/polyvinyl alcohol (PHBV/PVA) semi-interpenetrated networks (semi-IPN) hydrogels were engineered with low amounts of graphene (G) nanosheets dispersed within the polymer matrix to endow them with electroactive properties. The nanohybrid hydrogels, obtained by applying a hybrid solvent casting-freeze-drying method, show an interconnected porous structure and a high water-absorption capacity (swelling degree > 1200%). The thermal characterization indicates that the structure presents microphase separation, with PHBV microdomains located between the PVA network. The PHBV chains located in the microdomains are able to crystallize; even more after the addition of G nanosheets, which act as a nucleating agent. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the degradation profile of the semi-IPN is located between those of the neat components, with an improved thermal stability at high temperatures (>450 °C) after the addition of G nanosheets. The mechanical (complex modulus) and electrical properties (surface conductivity) significantly increase in the nanohybrid hydrogels with 0.2% of G nanosheets. Nevertheless, when the amount of G nanoparticles increases fourfold (0.8%), the mechanical properties diminish and the electrical conductivity does not increase proportionally, suggesting the presence of G aggregates. The biological assessment (C2C12 murine myoblasts) indicates a good biocompatibility and proliferative behavior. These results reveal a new conductive and biocompatible semi-IPN with remarkable values of electrical conductivity and ability to induce myoblast proliferation, indicating its great potential for musculoskeletal tissue engineering.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can maintain immune homeostasis and many preclinical trials with MSCs have been carried out around the world. In vitro culture of MSCs has been found to result in the decline of immunomodulatory capacity, migration and proliferation. To address these problems, simulating the extracellular environment for preconditioning of MSCs is a promising and inexpensive method. Biophysical cues in the external environment that MSCs are exposed to have been shown to affect MSC migration, residency, differentiation, secretion, etc. We review the main ways in which MSCs exert their immunomodulatory ability, and summarize recent advances in mechanical preconditioning of MSCs to enhance immunomodulatory capacity and related mechanical signal sensing and transduction mechanisms.

Abstract
Osteochondral (OC) defects cannot adequately repair themselves due to their sophisticated layered structure and lack of blood supply in cartilage. Although therapeutic interventions are reaching an advanced stage, current clinical therapies to repair defects are in their infancy. Among the possible therapies, OC tissue engineering has shown considerable promise, and multiple approaches utilizing scaffolds, cells, and bioactive factors have been pursued. The most recent trend in OC tissue engineering has been to design gradient scaffolds using different materials and construction strategies (such as bi-layered, multi-layered, and continuous gradient structures) to mimic the physiological and mechanical properties of OC tissues while further enabling OC repair. This review focuses specifically on design and construction strategies for gradient scaffolds and their role in the successful engineering of OC tissues. The current dilemmas in the field of OC defect repair and the efforts of tissue engineering to address these challenges were reviewed. In addition, the advantages and limitations of the typical fabrication techniques for gradient scaffolds were discussed, with examples of recent studies summarizing the future prospects for integrated gradient scaffold construction. This updated and enlightening review could provide insights into our current understanding of gradient scaffolds in OC tissue engineering.

Abstract
Piezoelectric materials are promising for biomedical applications because they can provide mechanical or electrical stimulations via converse or direct piezoelectric effects. The stimulations have been proven to be beneficial for cell proliferation and tissue regeneration. Recent reports showed that doping different contents of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) or polyaniline (PANi) into biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) enhanced their piezoelectric response, showing potential for biomedical applications. In this study, we aim to determine the correlation between physiochemical properties and the in vitro cell response to the PHB-based composite scaffolds with rGO or PANi. Specifically, we characterized the surface morphology, wetting behavior, electrochemical impedance, and piezoelectric properties of the composites and controls. The addition of rGO and PANi resulted in decreased fiber diameters and hydrophobicity of PHB. The increased surface energy of PHB after doping nanofillers led to a reduced water contact angle (WCA) from 101.84 ± 2.18° (for PHB) to 88.43 ± 0.83° after the addition of 3 wt % PANi, whereas doping 1 wt % rGO decreased the WCA value to 92.56 ± 2.43°. Meanwhile, doping 0.2 wt % rGO into PHB improved the piezoelectric properties compared to the PHB control and other composites. Adding up to 1 wt % rGO or 3 wt % PANi nanofillers in PHB did not affect the adhesion densities of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on the scaffolds. The aspect ratios of attached BMSCs on the composite scaffolds increased compared to the PHB control. The study indicated that the PHB-based composites are promising for potential applications such as regenerative medicine, tissue stimulation, and bio-sensing, which should be further studied.

Abstract
Patient-derived organoid (PDO) models have been widely used in precision medicine. The inability to standardize organoid creation in pre-clinical models has become apparent. The common mouse-derived extracellular matrix can no longer meet the requirements for the establishment of PDO models. Therefore, in order to develop effective methods for 3D cultures of organoids, we designed a self-assembling peptide, namely DRF3, which can be self-assembled into ordered fibrous scaffold structures. Here, we used the co-assembly of self-assembling peptide (SAP) and collagen type I, fibronectin, and laminin (SAP-Matrix) to co-simulate the extracellular matrix, which significantly reduced the culture time of PDO, improved the culture efficiency, and increased the self-assembly ability of cells. Compared with the results from the 2D cell line, the PDO showed a more significant expression of cancer-related genes. During organoid self-assembly, the expression of cancer-related genes is increased. These findings provide a theoretical basis for the establishment of precision molecular modeling platforms in the future.

Abstract
This is a comprehensive study on the reinforcement of electrospun poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) scaffolds with a composite filler of magnetite-reduced graphene oxide (Fe3O4-rGO). The composite filler promoted the increase of average fiber diameters and decrease of the degree of crystallinity of hybrid scaffolds. The decrease in the fiber diameter enhanced the ductility and mechanical strength of scaffolds. The surface electric potential of PHB/Fe3O4-rGO composite scaffolds significantly increased with increasing fiber diameter owing to a greater number of polar functional groups. The changes in the microfiber diameter did not have any influence on effective piezoresponses of composite scaffolds. The Fe3O4-rGO filler imparted high saturation magnetization (6.67 ± 0.17 emu/g) to the scaffolds. Thus, magnetic PHB/Fe3O4-rGO composite scaffolds both preserve magnetic properties and provide a piezoresponse, whereas varying the fiber diameter offers control over ductility and surface electric potential.

Abstract
Cellulose, starch, chitosan, polylactic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoates are seen as promising alternatives to conventional plastics in food packaging. However, the application of these biopolymers in the food packaging industry on a commercial scale is limited due to their poor performance and processing characteristics and high production cost. This review aims to provide an insight into the recent advances in research that address these limitations. Loading of nanofillers into polymer matrix could improve thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties of biopolymers. Blending of biopolymers also offers the possibility of acquiring newer materials with desired characteristics. However, nanofillers tend to agglomerate when loaded above an optimum level in the polymer matrix. This article throws light on different methods adopted by researchers to achieve uniform dispersion of nanofillers in bionanocomposites. Furthermore, different processing methods available for converting biopolymers into different packaging forms are discussed. In addition, the potential utilization of agricultural, brewery, and industrial wastes as feedstock for the production of biopolymers, and integrated biorefinery concept that not only keep the total production cost of biopolymers low but are also environment-friendly, are discussed. Finally, future research prospects in this field and the possible contribution of biopolymers to sustainable development are presented. This review will certainly be helpful to researchers working on sustainable food packaging, and companies exploring pilot projects to scale up biopolymer production for industrial applications.

Abstract
Cell-matrix interactions play a critical role in tissue repair and regeneration. With gradual uncovering of substrate mechanical characteristics that can affect cell-matrix interactions, much progress has been made to unravel substrate stiffness-mediated cellular response as well as its underlying mechanisms. Yet, as a part of cell-matrix interaction biology, this field remains in its infancy, and the detailed molecular mechanisms are still elusive regarding scaffold-modulated tissue regeneration. This review provides an overview of recent progress in the area of the substrate stiffness-mediated cellular responses, including 1) the physical determination of substrate stiffness on cell fate and tissue development; 2) the current exploited approaches to manipulate the stiffness of scaffolds; 3) the progress of recent researches to reveal the role of substrate stiffness in cellular responses in some representative tissue-engineered regeneration varying from stiff tissue to soft tissue. This article aims to provide an up-to-date overview of cell mechanobiology research in substrate stiffness mediated cellular response and tissue regeneration with insightful information to facilitate interdisciplinary knowledge transfer and enable the establishment of prognostic markers for the design of suitable biomaterials. Substrate stiffness physically determines cell fate and tissue development. Rational design of scaffolds requires the understanding of cell-matrix interactions. Substrate stiffness depends on scaffold molecular-constituent-structure interaction. Substrate stiffness-mediated cellular responses vary in different tissues.

Abstract
Over the past 15 years, interest in additive manufacturing (AM) on lattice structures has significantly increased in producing 3D/4D objects. The purpose of this study is to gain a thorough grasp of the research pattern and the condition of the field's research today as well as identify obstacles towards future research. To accomplish the purpose, this work undertakes a scientometric analysis of the international research conducted on additive manufacturing for lattice structure materials published from 2002 to 2022. A total of 1290 journal articles from the Web of Science (WoS) database and 1766 journal articles from the Scopus database were found using a search system. This paper applied scientometric science, which is based on bibliometric analysis. The data were subjected to a scientometric study, which looked at the number of publications, authorship, regions by countries, keyword co-occurrence, literature coupling, and scientometric mapping. VOSviewer was used to establish research patterns, visualize maps, and identify transcendental issues. Thus, the quantitative determination of the primary research framework, papers, and themes of this research field was possible. In order to shed light on current developments in additive manufacturing for lattice structures, an extensive systematic study is provided. The scientometric analysis revealed a strong bias towards researching AM on lattice structures but little concentration on technologies that emerge from it. It also outlined its unmet research needs, which can benefit both the industry and academia. This review makes a prediction for the future, with contributions by educating researchers, manufacturers, and other experts on the current state of AM for lattice structures.

Abstract
Slow crystallization rates and poor storage stability of mechanical properties limit the widespread use of biosynthesized poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHA). Hydrazide compounds (HCn) with a formula of C6H5CONHNHCO(CH2)nCONHNHCOC6H5 (n = 4 and 8) were used as PHA nucleating agents to improve the crystallization and mechanical properties. The effects of HCn structure and self-assembly on the crystallization kinetics and nucleation efficiency of PHA were systematically investigated. Both HCns can be dissolved in the PHA matrix at high temperatures and then self-assemble into rod-like structures to induce crystallization of PHA. The nucleation efficiency of HC8 is much better than that of HC4 at low subcooling. With only 0.75 wt% HC8, the crystallization half-life time t1/2 of PHA at 100 °C decreased by 91 % and the degree of crystallinity increased to 38.2 % with a large number of tiny nuclei. Moreover, storage stability of mechanical properties of PHA was greatly improved due to the better crystallization ability. Therefore, this work provides a basis for the design of high-efficiency nucleating agents for PHA, which is expected to improve the mechanical properties and expand the application fields of PHA.

Abstract
Hybrid porous scaffolds composed of both natural and synthetic biopolymers have demonstrated significant improvements in the tissue engineering field. This study investigates for the first time the fabrication route and characterization of poly-L-lactic acid scaffolds blended with polyhydroxyalkanoate up to 30 wt%. The hybrid scaffolds were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation method starting from ternary solutions. The microstructure of the hybrid porous structures was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and related to the blend composition. The porosity and the wettability of the scaffolds were evaluated through gravimetric and water contact angle measurements, respectively. The scaffolds were also characterized in terms of the surface chemical properties via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance. The mechanical properties were analyzed through tensile tests, while the crystallinity of the PLLA/PHA scaffolds was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction.

Abstract
Our body is built to heal from inside out naturally but wide-ranging medical conditions necessitate the need for artificial assistance, and therefore, something that can assist the body to heal wounds and damaged tissues quickly and efficiently is of utmost importance. Tissue engineering technology helps to regenerate new tissue to replace the diseased or injured one. The technology uses biodegradable porous three-dimensional scaffolds for mimicking the structure and functions of the natural extracellular matrix. The material and design of scaffolds are critical areas of biomaterial research. Biomaterial-based three-dimensional structures have been the most promising material to serve as scaffolds for seeding cells, both in vivo and in vitro. One such material is polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) which are thermoplastic biopolyesters that are highly suitable for this purpose due to their enhanced biocompatibility, biodegradability, thermo-processability, diverse mechanical properties, non-toxicity and natural origin. Moreover, they have tremendous possibilities of customization through biological physical and chemical modification as well as blending with other materials. They are being used for several tissue engineering applications such as bone graft substitute, cardiovascular patches, stents, for nerve repair and in implantology as valves and sutures. The present review overviews usage of a multitude of PHA-based biomaterials for a wide range of tissue engineering applications, based on their properties suitable for the specific applications.

Abstract
This article presents current possibilities of using polyester-based materials in hard and soft tissue engineering, wound dressings, surgical implants, vascular reconstructive surgery, ophthalmology, and other medical applications. The review summarizes the recent literature on the key features of processing methods and potential suitable combinations of polyester-based materials with improved physicochemical and biological properties that meet the specific requirements for selected medical fields. The polyester materials used in multiresistant infection prevention, including during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as aspects covering environmental concerns, current risks and limitations, and potential future directions are also addressed. Depending on the different features of polyester types, as well as their specific medical applications, it can be generally estimated that 25-50% polyesters are used in the medical field, while an increase of at least 20% has been achieved since the COVID-19 pandemic started. The remaining percentage is provided by other types of natural or synthetic polymers; i.e., 25% polyolefins in personal protection equipment (PPE).

Abstract
Novel hybrid magnetoactive composite scaffolds based on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), gelatin, and magnetite (Fe3O4) were fabricated by electrospinning. The morphology, structure, phase composition, and magnetic properties of composite scaffolds were studied. Fabrication procedures of PHB/gelatin and PHB/gelatin/Fe3O4 scaffolds resulted in the formation of both core-shell and ribbon-shaped structure of the fibers. In case of hybrid PHB/gelatin/Fe3O4 scaffolds submicron-sized Fe3O4 particles were observed in the surface layers of the fibers. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results allowed the presence of gelatin on the fiber surface (N/C ratio–0.11) to be revealed. Incubation of the composite scaffolds in saline for 3 h decreased the amount of gelatin on the surface by more than ~75%. The differential scanning calorimetry results obtained for pure PHB scaffolds revealed a characteristic melting peak at 177.5 °C. The presence of gelatin in PHB/gelatin and PHB/gelatin/Fe3O4 scaffolds resulted in the decrease in melting temperature to 168–169 °C in comparison with pure PHB scaffolds due to the core-shell structure of the fibers. Hybrid scaffolds also demonstrated a decrease in crystallinity from 52.3% (PHB) to 16.9% (PHB/gelatin) and 9.2% (PHB/gelatin/Fe3O4). All the prepared scaffolds were non-toxic and saturation magnetization of the composite scaffolds with magnetite was 3.27 ± 0.22 emu/g, which makes them prospective candidates for usage in biomedical applications.

Preparation, Characterization, and Biocompatibility Assessment of Polymer-Ceramic Composites Loaded with Salvia officinalis Extract. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14206000. [PMID: 34683591 PMCID: PMC8540233 DOI: 10.3390/ma14206000] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2021] [Revised: 10/01/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
In the present work, hydroxyapatite-polymer materials were developed. The preparation, as well as characterization of the ceramic-polymer composites based on polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium alginate, and gelatin were described. The system was enriched with the addition of common sage extract (Salvia officinalis). The antioxidant potential of sage aqueous extract and total polyphenol content was determined. The antioxidant capacity and total phenolic content of extract were equal to 86.06 ± 0.49% and 16.21 ± 0.58 mg gallic acid equivalents per gram of dry weight, respectively. Incubation studies in selected biological liquids were carried out to determine the biomineralization capacity on the surface of the composites and to examine the kinetics of release of the active substances from within the material. As a result of the incubation, a gradual release of the extract over time from the polymer matrix was observed; moreover, the appearance of new apatite layers on the composite surface was recorded as early as after 14 days, which was also confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) microanalysis. The composites were analyzed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectroscopy, and the morphology was recorded by scanning electron microscope (SEM) imaging. The in vitro biological studies allowed their cytotoxic effect on the reference L929 fibroblasts to be excluded. Further analysis of the biomaterials showed that enrichment with polyphenols does not support the adhesion of L929 cells to the surface of the material. However, the addition of these natural components stimulates human monocytes that constitute the first step of tissue regeneration.
