Abstract
Agriculturally derived by-products generated during the growth cycles of living organisms as secondary products have attracted increasing interest due to their wide range of biomedical and environmental applications. These by-products are considered promising candidates because of their unique characteristics including chemical stability, profound biocompatibility and offering a green approach by producing the least impact on the environment. Recently, micro/nanoengineering based techniques play a significant role in upgrading their utility, by controlling their structural integrity and promoting their functions at a micro and nano scale. Specifically, they can be used for biomedical applications such as tissue regeneration, drug delivery, disease diagnosis, as well as environmental applications such as filtration, bioenergy production, and the detection of environmental pollutants. This review highlights the diverse role of micro/nano-engineering techniques when applied on agricultural by-products with intriguing properties and upscaling their wide range of applications across the biomedical and environmental fields. Finally, we outline the future prospects and remarkable potential that these agricultural by-products hold in establishing a new era in the realms of biomedical science and environmental research.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an emerging interdisciplinary field that aims to develop new strategies and materials for repairing, regenerating, or replacing damaged bone tissues. This field combines engineering, biology, and medicine principles to create functional bone tissues in the laboratory and in vivo. The main goal of BTE is to create biological substitutes that mimic the structure, function, and properties of natural bone tissue, thereby promoting the regeneration of bone defects caused by trauma, disease, or aging. In this study, we developed a biocomposite membrane using magnesium-chitosan, carboxymethyl cellulose, and alginate through a simple cast drying method. The biocompatibility of the membrane was evaluated using human osteoblastic cells, and it was found to be nontoxic to these cells. Both metabolic activity measurements (24 and 48 hours) and the lactate dehydrogenase release assay (72 hours) indicated that the membrane was biocompatible and did not exert significant toxic effects. These results suggest that the developed biocomposite membrane has the potential to be used as a safe and effective biomaterial for various biomedical applications, such as BTE, wound healing, and drug delivery. Further studies are warranted to explore the full potential of this membrane and its performance in different biological environments.

Abstract
Despite the advancements in bone tissue engineering, the majority of implant failures are caused due to microbial contamination. So, efforts are being made to develop biomaterial with antimicrobial property enhancing the regeneration of damaged bone tissue. In the present study, chitosan-gelatin (CG) scaffolds containing silver-doped hydroxyapatite (AgHAP) nanoparticles at 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% (w/v) were fabricated by lyophilization technique. The results confirmed the synthesis of AgHAP nanoparticles and showed interconnected porous structure of the nanocomposite scaffolds with 89%-75% porosity. Similarly, the swelling percentage, degradation behavior and compressive modulus of CG-AgHAP nanocomposite scaffolds were 1666%, 40% and 0.7 MPa, respectively. The developed nanocomposite scaffolds revealed better antimicrobial properties and bioactivity. The cell culture studies showed favorable viability of Wharton's jelly stem cells on CG-AgHAP nanocomposite scaffolds. CAM (chorioallantoic membrane) assay determined the angiogenic potential with better visualization of blood vessels in the CAM area. Hence, the obtained results confirmed that CG-AgHAP3 nanocomposite scaffold was the most suitable for bone tissue engineering applications among all scaffolds.

Abstract
Growth factors are key molecules involved in angiogenesis, a process critical for tissue repair and regeneration. Despite the potential of growth factor delivery to stimulate angiogenesis, limited clinical success has been achieved with this approach. Growth factors interact with the extracellular matrix (ECM), and particularly heparan sulphate (HS), to bind and potentiate their signalling. Here we show that engineered short forms of perlecan, the major HS proteoglycan of the vascular ECM, bind and signal angiogenic growth factors, including fibroblast growth factor 2 and vascular endothelial growth factor-A. We also show that engineered short forms of perlecan delivered in porous chitosan biomaterial scaffolds promote angiogenesis in a rat full thickness dermal wound model, with the fusion of perlecan domains I and V leading to superior vascularisation compared to native endothelial perlecan or chitosan scaffolds alone. Together, this study demonstrates the potential of engineered short forms of perlecan delivered in chitosan scaffolds as next generation angiogenic therapies which exert biological activity via the potentiation of growth factors.

Abstract
This work discusses the physicochemical and antimicrobial characteristics of chitosan-corn starch eco-nanocomposites integrated with silica@Ag nano-spheres. These composites were synthesized through sol-gel polymerization and subsequently exposed to simulated body fluid (SBF). The incorporation of Ag into the eco-nanocomposites led to a decrease in diffuse reflectance across the entire wavelength range. The dielectric permittivity exhibited an increase up to 52.1 at a frequency of 100 kHz, while the ac conductivity reached a value of 5.2 ∗ 10-6 (S cm-1) at the same frequency for the sample with the highest Ag content. The study utilized XRD and FTIR techniques to examine the materials before and after in vitro testing and evaluated the antibacterial properties of the eco-nanocomposites against several pathogenic microorganisms, including Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli, using the agar diffusion method. The eco-nanocomposites demonstrated bioactivity by forming a hydroxy appetite layer on their surfaces and were capable of releasing silver (Ag) at concentrations of 1.3, 1.9, and 2.5 mol%. This study suggests that chitosan-corn starch-SiO2-based doped with Ag eco-nanocomposite has the potential for various applications, including biomedical and environmental fields, where their antibacterial properties can be utilized to combat harmful microorganisms.

Abstract
Over the past decade, smart and functional biomaterials have escalated as one of the most rapidly emerging fields in the life sciences because the performance of biomaterials could be improved by careful consideration of their interaction and response with the living systems. Thus, chitosan could play a crucial role in this frontier field because it possesses many beneficial properties, especially in the biomedical field such as excellent biodegradability, hemostatic properties, antibacterial activity, antioxidant properties, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. Furthermore, chitosan is a smart and versatile biopolymer due to its polycationic nature with reactive functional groups that allow the polymer to form many interesting structures or to be modified in various ways to suit the targeted applications. In this review, we provide an up-to-date development of the versatile structures of chitosan-based smart biomaterials such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, nanofibers, and films, as well as their application in the biomedical field. This review also highlights several strategies to enhance biomaterial performance for fast growing fields in biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems, bone scaffolds, wound healing, and dentistry.

Abstract
Due to the physical, thermal, and biological properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), as well as the biocompatibility and environmental safety of the naturally occurring polymeric component, polysaccharide-based composites containing AgNPs are a promising choice for the development of biomaterials. Starch is a low-cost, non-toxic, biocompatible, and tissue-healing natural polymer. The application of starch in various forms and its combination with metallic nanoparticles have contributed to the advancement of biomaterials. Few investigations into jackfruit starch with silver nanoparticle biocomposites exist. This research intends to explore the physicochemical, morphological, and cytotoxic properties of a Brazilian jackfruit starch-based scaffold loaded with AgNPs. The AgNPs were synthesized by chemical reduction and the scaffold was produced by gelatinization. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to study the scaffold. The findings supported the development of stable, monodispersed, and triangular AgNPs. XRD and EDS analyses demonstrated the incorporation of silver nanoparticles. AgNPs could alter the scaffold’s crystallinity, roughness, and thermal stability without affecting its chemistry or physics. Triangular anisotropic AgNPs exhibited no toxicity against L929 cells at concentrations ranging from 6.25 × 10−5 to 1 × 10−3 mol·L−1, implying that the scaffolds might have had no adverse effects on the cells. The scaffolds prepared with jackfruit starch showed greater crystallinity and thermal stability, and absence of toxicity after the incorporation of triangular AgNPs. These findings indicate that jackfruit is a promising starch source for developing biomaterials.

Abstract
Thymol (2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol; Thy) is a monoterpene phenolic phytocompound with medicinal properties; however, its impact on osteogenesis is yet to be thoroughly investigated. Its distribution is often hampered because of its intricate hydrophobic structure, which reduces its bioavailability. In this study, we synthesized a drug delivery vehicle using semi-interpenetrating polymer network (SIPN) hydrogels containing sodium alginate and poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) (SA/Pox) loaded with Thy at varying concentrations (100, 150, and 200 μM). Subsequently, they were coated with chitosan (CS) to increase bioactivity and for sustained and prolonged release of Thy. Thy-loaded CS-coated SIPN hydrogels (SA/Pox/CS-Thy) were developed using ionic gelation and polyelectrolyte-complexation techniques. The addition of CS to hydrogels enhanced their physicochemical and material properties. These hydrogels were cytofriendly toward mouse mesenchymal stem cells (mMSCs). When mMSCs were cultured on hydrogels, Thy stimulated osteoblastic differentiation, as evidenced by calcium deposits at the cellular level. The expression of RUNX2, a key bone transcriptional factor, and other differentiation biomarkers was significantly enhanced in mMSCs cultured on SA/Pox/CS-Thy hydrogels. Notably, Thy in the SA/Pox/CS hydrogels significantly activated the TGF-β/BMP signaling pathway, which is involved in osteogenesis. A rat tibial bone defect model system revealed that the incorporation of Thy into SA/Pox/CS hydrogels augmented bone regeneration. Thus, sustained and prolonged release of Thy from the SA/Pox/CS hydrogels promoted osteoblast differentiation in vitro and bone formation in vivo. These findings shed light on the effect of Thy bioavailability in fostering osteoblast differentiation and its prospective application in bone rejuvenation.

Abstract
Biomaterials have ushered the field of tissue engineering and regeneration into a new era with the development of advanced composites. Among these, the composites of inorganic materials with organic polymers present unique structural and biochemical properties equivalent to naturally occurring hybrid systems such as bones, and thus are highly desired. The last decade has witnessed a steady increase in research on such systems with the focus being on mimicking the peculiar properties of inorganic/organic combination composites in nature. In this review, we discuss the recent progress on the use of inorganic particle/polymer composites for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. We have elaborated the advantages of inorganic particle/polymer composites over their organic particle-based composite counterparts. As the inorganic particles play a crucial role in defining the features and regenerative capacity of such composites, the review puts a special emphasis on the various types of inorganic particles used in inorganic particle/polymer composites. The inorganic particles that are covered in this review are categorised into two broad types (1) solid (e.g., calcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite, etc.) and (2) porous particles (e.g., mesoporous silica, porous silicon etc.), which are elaborated in detail with recent examples. The review also covers other new types of inorganic material (e.g., 2D inorganic materials, clays, etc.) based polymer composites for tissue engineering applications. Lastly, we provide our expert analysis and opinion of the field focusing on the limitations of the currently used inorganic/organic combination composites and the immense potential of new generation of composites that are in development.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a topic of interest for the last decade, and advances in materials, processing techniques, and the understanding of bone healing pathways have opened new avenues of research. The dual responsibility of BTE scaffolds in providing load-bearing capability and interaction with the local extracellular matrix to promote bone healing is a challenge in synthetic scaffolds. This article describes the usage and processing of multi-materials and hierarchical structures to mimic the structure of natural bone tissues to function as bioactive and load-bearing synthetic scaffolds. The first part of this literature review describes the physiology of bone healing responses and the interactions at different stages of bone repair. The following section reviews the available literature on biomaterials used for BTE scaffolds followed by some multi-material approaches. The next section discusses the impact of the scaffold's structural features on bone healing and the necessity of a hierarchical distribution in the scaffold structure. Finally, the last section of this review highlights the emerging trends in BTE scaffold developments that can inspire new tissue engineering strategies and truly develop the next generation of synthetic scaffolds.

Abstract
Delay in wound healing is a diabetes mellites resulting disorder causing persistent microbial infections, pain, and poor quality of life. This disorder is treated by several strategies using natural biomaterials, growth factors and stem cells molded into various scaffolds which possess the potential to accelerate the closure of impaired diabetic wounds. In this study, we developed a hydrogel patch using chitosan (CS) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) with laden bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) that were pretreated with fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). The developed hydrogel patches were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. After studying the swelling behavior, growth factor (FGF21) was used to modulate BMSC in the hyperglycemic environment. Later, FGF21 treated BMSC were embedded in CS/PEG hydrogel patch and their wound closure effect was assessed in diabetic rats. The results showed that CS/PEG hydrogel patches have good biocompatibility and possess efficient BMSC recruiting properties. The application of CS/PEG hydrogel patches accelerated wound closure in diabetic rats as compared to the control groups. However, the use of FGF21 pretreated BMSCs laded CS/PEG hydrogel patches further increased the therapeutic efficacy of wound closure in diabetic rats. This study demonstrated that the application of a hydrogel patch of CS/PEG with FGF21 pretreated BMSCs improves diabetic wound healing, but further studies are needed on larger animals before the use of these dressings in clinical trials.

Abstract
Skeletal disorders represent a variety of degenerative diseases that affect bone and cartilage homeostasis. The regenerative capacity of bone is affected in osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bone fractures, congenital defects, and bone cancers. There is no viable, non-invasive treatment option and bone regeneration requires surgical intervention with the implantation of bone grafts. Incorporating nanoparticles in bone grafts have improved fracture healing by providing fine structures for bone tissue engineering. It is currently a revolutionary finding in the field of regenerative medicine. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have garnered particular attention due to their well-known anti-microbial and potential osteoinductive properties. In addition, AgNPs have been demonstrated to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) involved in bone regeneration. Furthermore, AgNPs have shown toxicity towards cancer cells derived from bone. In the last decade, there have been multiple studies focusing on the effect of nanoparticles on the proliferation and/or differentiation of MSCs and bone cancer cells; however, the specific studies with AgNPs are limited. Although the reported investigations show promising in vitro and in vivo potential of AgNPs for application in bone regeneration, more studies are required to ensure their implications in bone tissue engineering. This review aims to highlight the current advances related to the production of AgNPs and their effect on MSCs and bone cancer cells, which will potentiate their possible implications in orthopedics. Moreover, this review article evaluates the future of AgNPs in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Chitosan, a naturally abundant cationic polymer, is chemically composed of cellulose-based biopolymers derived by deacetylating chitin. It offers several attractive characteristics such as renewability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity towards gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well as fungi, etc., because of which it is receiving immense attention as a biopolymer for a plethora of applications including drug delivery, protective coating materials, food packaging films, wastewater treatment, and so on. Additionally, its structure carries reactive functional groups that enable several reactions and electrochemical interactions at the biomolecular level and improves the chitosan’s physicochemical properties and functionality. This review article highlights the extensive research about the properties, extraction techniques, and recent developments of chitosan-based composites for drug, gene, protein, and vaccine delivery applications. Its versatile applications in tissue engineering and wound healing are also discussed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives for chitosan in biomedical applications are elucidated.

Abstract
In tissue engineering, three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging approach to producing functioning tissue constructs to repair wounds and repair or replace sick tissue/organs. It allows for precise control of materials and other components in the tissue constructs in an automated way, potentially permitting great throughput production. An ink made using one or multiple biomaterials can be 3D printed into tissue constructs by the printing process; though promising in tissue engineering, the printed constructs have also been reported to have the ability to lead to the emergence of unforeseen illnesses and failure due to biomaterial-related infections. Numerous approaches and/or strategies have been developed to combat biomaterial-related infections, and among them, natural biomaterials, surface treatment of biomaterials, and incorporating inorganic agents have been widely employed for the construct fabrication by 3D printing. Despite various attempts to synthesize and/or optimize the inks for 3D printing, the incidence of infection in the implanted tissue constructs remains one of the most significant issues. For the first time, here we present an overview of inks with antibacterial properties for 3D printing, focusing on the principles and strategies to accomplish biomaterials with anti-infective properties, and the synthesis of metallic ion-containing ink, chitosan-containing inks, and other antibacterial inks. Related discussions regarding the mechanics of biofilm formation and antibacterial performance are also presented, along with future perspectives of the importance of developing printable inks.

Abstract
One of the significant challenges in the fabrication of scaffolds for tissue engineering lies in the direct interaction of bioactive agents with cells in the scaffolds matrix, which curbs the effectiveness of bioactive agents resulting in diminished cell recognition and attachment ability of the scaffolds. Here, three-dimensional porous scaffolds were fabricated using polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan, by two approaches, i.e., blending and surface coating to compare their overall effectiveness. Blended scaffolds (Chi-PCL) were compared with the scaffolds fabricated using surface coating technique, where chitosan was coated on the pore wall of PCL scaffolds (C-PCL). The C-PCL exhibited a collective improvement in bioactivities of the stem cell on the scaffold, because of the cell compatible environment provided by the presence of chitosan over the scaffolds interface. The C-PCL showed the enhanced cell attachment and proliferation behavior of the scaffolds along with two-fold increase in hemolysis compatibility compared to Chi-PCL. Furthermore, the compression strength in C-PCL increased by 24.52% and 8.62% increase in total percentage porosity compared to Chi-PCL was attained. Along with this, all the bone markers showed significant upregulation in C-PCL scaffolds, which supported the surface coating technique over the conventional methods, even though the pore size of C-PCL was compromised by 19.98% compared with Chi-PCL.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate an antimicrobial and degradable composite material consisting of melt-blown poly(lactic acid) nonwoven fabrics, alginate, and zinc. This paper describes the method of preparation and the characterization of the physicochemical and antimicrobial properties of the new fibrous composite material. The procedure consists of fabrication of nonwoven fabric and two steps of dip-coating modification: (1) impregnation of nonwoven samples in the solution of alginic sodium salt and (2) immersion in a solution of zinc (II) chloride. The characterization and analysis of new material included scanning electron microscopy (SEM), specific surface area (SSA), and total/average pore volume (BET). The polylactide/alginate/Zn fibrous composite were subjected to microbial activity tests against colonies of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus), Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) bacterial strains, and the following fungal strains: Aspergillus niger van Tieghem and Chaetomium globosum. These results lay a technical foundation for the development and potential application of new composite as an antibacterial/antifungal material in biomedical areas.

Abstract
In recent decades synthetic polymers have gained increasing popularity, and nowadays they are an integral part of people's daily lives. In addition, owing to their competitive advantage and being susceptible to modification, polymers have stimulated the fast development of innovative technologies in many areas of science. Biopolymers are of particular interest in various branches of medicine, such as implantology of bones, cartilage and skin tissues as well as blood vessels. Biomaterials with such specific applications must have appropriate mechanical and strength characteristics and above all they must be compatible with the surrounding tissues, human blood and its components, i.e. exhibit high hemo- and biocompatibility, low or no thrombo- and carcinogenicity, foreign body response (host response), appropriate osteoconduction, osteoinduction and mineralization. For biocompatibility improvement many surface treatment techniques have been utilized leading to fabricate the polymer biomaterials of required properties, also at nanoscale. This review paper discusses the most important physicochemical and biological factors that affect the biocompatibility, thus the reaction of the living organism after insertion of the polymer-based biomaterials, i.e. surface modification and/or degradation, surface composition (functional groups and charge), size and shapes, hydrophilic-hydrophobic character, wettability and surface free energy, topography (roughness, stiffness), crystalline and amorphous structure, nanostructure, cell adhesion and proliferation, cellular uptake. Particularly, the application of polysaccharides (chitosan, cellulose, starch) in the tissue engineering is emphasized.

Abstract
Electroactive biomaterials are fascinating for tissue engineering applications because of their ability to deliver electrical stimulation directly to cells, tissue, and organs. One particularly attractive conductive filler for electroactive biomaterials is silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) because of their high conductivity, antibacterial activity, and ability to promote bone healing. However, production of AgNPs involves a toxic reducing agent which would inhibit biological scaffold performance. This work explores facile and green synthesis of AgNPs using extract of Cilembu sweet potato and studies the effect of baking and precursor concentrations (1, 10 and 100 mM) on AgNPs’ properties. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) results revealed that the smallest particle size of AgNPs (9.95 ± 3.69 nm) with nodular morphology was obtained by utilization of baked extract and ten mM AgNO3. Polycaprolactone (PCL)/AgNPs scaffolds exhibited several enhancements compared to PCL scaffolds. Compressive strength was six times greater (3.88 ± 0.42 MPa), more hydrophilic (contact angle of 76.8 ± 1.7°), conductive (2.3 ± 0.5 × 10−3 S/cm) and exhibited anti-bacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC3658 (99.5% reduction of surviving bacteria). Despite the promising results, further investigation on biological assessment is required to obtain comprehensive study of this scaffold. This green synthesis approach together with the use of 3D printing opens a new route to manufacture AgNPs-based electroactive with improved anti-bacterial properties without utilization of any toxic organic solvents.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to fabricate novel bioactive composites based on chitosan and non-organic silica, reinforced with calcium β-glycerophosphate (Ca-GP), sodium β-glycerophosphate pentahydrate (Na-GP), and hydroxyapatite powder (HAp) in a range of concentrations using the sol–gel method. The effect of HAp, Na-GP, and Ca-GP contents on the mechanical properties, i.e., Young’s modulus, compressive strength, and yield strain, of hybrid composites was analyzed. The microstructure of the materials obtained was visualized by SEM. Moreover, the molecular interactions according to FTIR analysis and biocompatibility of composites obtained were examined. The CS/Si/HAp/Ca-GP developed from all composites analyzed was characterized by the well-developed surface of pores of two sizes: large ones of 100 μm and many smaller pores below 10 µm, the behavior of which positively influenced cell proliferation and growth, as well as compressive strength in a range of 0.3 to 10 MPa, Young’s modulus from 5.2 to 100 MPa, and volumetric shrinkage below 60%. This proved to be a promising composite for applications in tissue engineering, e.g., filling small bone defects.

Abstract
The burst of research papers focused on the tissue engineering and regeneration recorded in the last years is justified by the increased skills in the synthesis of nanostructures able to confer peculiar biological and mechanical features to the matrix where they are dispersed. Inorganic, organic and hybrid nanostructures are proposed in the literature depending on the characteristic that has to be tuned and on the effect that has to be induced. In the field of the inorganic nanoparticles used for decorating the bio-scaffolds, the most recent contributions about the paramagnetic and superparamagnetic nanoparticles use was evaluated in the present contribution. The intrinsic properties of the paramagnetic nanoparticles, the possibility to be triggered by the simple application of an external magnetic field, their biocompatibility and the easiness of the synthetic procedures for obtaining them proposed these nanostructures as ideal candidates for positively enhancing the tissue regeneration. Herein, we divided the discussion into two macro-topics: the use of magnetic nanoparticles in scaffolds used for hard tissue engineering for soft tissue regeneration.
