Abstract
Nowadays, implants and prostheses are widely used to repair damaged tissues or to treat different diseases, but their use is associated with the risk of infection, inflammation and finally rejection. To address these issues, new antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory materials are being developed. Aforementioned materials require their thorough preclinical testing before clinical applications can be envisaged. Although many researchers are currently working on new in vitro tissues for drug screening and tissue replacement, in vitro models for evaluation of new biomaterials are just emerging and are extremely rare. In this context, there is an increased need for advanced in vitro models, which would best recapitulate the in vivo environment, limiting animal experimentation and adapted to the multitude of these materials. Here, we overview currently available preclinical methods and models for biological in vitro evaluation of new biomaterials. We describe several biological tests used in biocompatibility assessment, which is a primordial step in new material's development, and discuss existing challenges in this field. In the second part, the emphasis is made on the development of new 3D models and approaches for preclinical evaluation of biomaterials. The third part focuses on the main parameters to consider to achieve the optimal conditions for evaluating biocompatibility; we also overview differences in regulations across different geographical regions and regulatory systems. Finally, we discuss future directions for the development of innovative biomaterial-related assays: in silico models, dynamic testing models, complex multicellular and multiple organ systems, as well as patient-specific personalized testing approaches.

Abstract
Implants and prostheses are widely used to either repair damaged tissues or treat different diseases. Before an implant reaches the market, multiple preclinical and clinical tests must be performed. Along with cytotoxicity or hemocompatibility preclinical tests, genotoxicity is an essential feature to investigate. Indeed, the materials used for implantation should be non-genotoxic, i.e. they should not promote mutations that can potentially lead to tumour formation. However, given the complexity level of genotoxicity tests, such tests are not readily available to biomaterials researchers, which is the reason why this aspect is severely underreported in the literature. To solve this problem, we developed a simplified genotoxicity test that can be further adapted by standard biomaterials laboratories. We started by simplifying the classic Ames test in Petri dishes, after which we developed a miniaturized test in a microfluidic chip, which takes only 24 hours, requiring significantly less material and space. An automatization option with a customized testing chamber architecture and microfluidics-based control system has been designed as well. This optimized microfluidic chip system can significantly improve the availability of genotoxicity tests for biomaterials developers, with the additional benefit of more in-depth observation and quantitative comparison due to the availability of processable image components.

Abstract
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is widely accepted as an effective and non-destructive method to assess cell health during cell-culture. However, there is a lack of compact devices compatible with microfluidic integration and microscopy that could provide the real-time and non-invasive monitoring of cell-cultures using EIS. In this paper, we reported the design and characterization of a modular EIS testing system based on a patented technology. This device was fabricated using easily processable methodologies including screen-printing of the impedance electrodes and molding or micromachining of the cell culture chamber with an easy assembly procedure. Accordingly, to obtain processable, biocompatible and sterilizable electrode materials that lower the impact of interfacial impedance on TEER (Transepithelial electrical resistance) measurements, and to enable concomitant microscopy observations, we optimized the formulation of the electrode inks and the design of the EIS electrodes, respectively. First, electrode materials were based on carbon biocompatible inks enriched with IrOx particles to obtain low interfacial impedance electrodes approaching the performances of classical non-biocompatible Ag/AgCl second-species electrodes. Secondly, we proposed three original electrode designs, which were compared to classical disk electrodes that were optically compatible with microscopy. We assessed the impact of the electrode design on the response of the impedance sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics. Finally, the performance of the impedance spectroscopy devices was assessed in vitro using human airway epithelial cell cultures.

Abstract
On the basis of the Griess-Saltzman (GS) reaction, an optical device for nitric oxide (NO) detection in exhaled breath and atmosphere was developed by employing the light-emitting diode (LED, 560 nm) as the light source, light-to-voltage converter (LVC) as the detector, and porous polypropylene membrane tube (PPMT) as the cuvette. The PPMT was filled with GS reagents and covered with a coaxial jacket tube for gas collection and color reaction; two ends of the PPMT were connected with the LED and LVC to detect the change of light transmissivity in the wavelength range of 530 to 590 nm mainly. A gas absorber filled with GS reagents was installed prior to another absorber filled with KMnO4 solution to eliminate the interference of coexisting NO2. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the device achieved a limit of detection (3σ/k) of 4.4 ppbv for NO detection. The linearity range of this device was divided into two segments, i.e., 25 to 100 ppbv and 50 to 1000 ppbv, with both coefficients of determination > 0.99. The relative standard deviation was 2.7% (n = 9, c = 100 ppbv), and the analytical time was 5.5 min per detection. The minimum detectable quantity was decreased to 1.18 ng, which was ~ 100 times lower than the original GS method (115 ng). The present device was applied for determination of NO in exhaled breath, vehicle exhaust, and air. In addition to satisfactory spiking recoveries (i.e., 103% and 107%), the analytical results of the present device were in agreement with the results obtained by the standard method. These results assured the practicality of the developed device for NO detection in real environmental samples.

Abstract
There is a growing need for real-time monitoring of metabolic products that could reflect cell damages over extended periods. In this paper, we report the design and development of an original multiparametric (bio)sensing platform that is tailored for the real-time monitoring of cell metabolites derived from cell cultures. Most attractive features of our developed electrochemical (bio)sensing platform are its easy manufacturing process, that enables seamless scale-up, modular and versatile approach, and low cost. In addition, the developed platform allows a multiparametric analysis instead of single-analyte analysis. Here we provide an overview of the sensors-based analysis of four main factors that can indicate a possible cell deterioration problem during cell-culture: pH, hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide/nitrite and lactate. Herein, we are proposing a sensors platform based on thick-film coupled to microfluidic technology that can be integrated into any microfluidic system using Luer-lock connectors. This platform allows obtaining an accurate analysis of the secreting stress metabolites during cell/tissues culture.
