Development of a low-cost and biocompatible hydrogel dressing with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and low swelling properties is important for accelerating wound healing. Here, a multifunctional alginate hydrogel dressing was fabricated using the D-(+)-gluconic acid δ-lactone/CaCO3 system. The addition of hyaluronic acid and tannic acid (TA) provides the alginate hydrogel with anti-reactive oxygen species (ROS), hemostatic, and pro-wound healing properties. Notably, soaking the alginate hydrogel in a poly-ε-lysine (EPL) aqueous solution enables the alginate hydrogel to be di-crosslinked with EPL through electrostatic interactions, forming a dense network resembling "armor" on the surface. This simple one-step soaking strategy provides the alginate hydrogel with antibacterial and anti-swelling properties. Swelling tests demonstrated that the cross-sectional area of the fully swollen multifunctional alginate hydrogel was only 1.3 times its initial size, thus preventing excessive wound expansion caused by excessive swelling. After 5 hours of in vitro release, only 7% of TA was cumulatively released, indicating a distinctly slow-release behavior. Furthermore, as evidenced by the removal of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radicals, this integrated alginate hydrogel systems demonstrate a notable capacity to eliminate ROS. Full-thickness skin wound repair experiment and histological analysis of the healing site in mice demonstrate that the developed multifunctional alginate hydrogels have a prominent effect on extracellular matrix formation and promotion of wound closure. Overall, this study introduces a cost-effective and convenient multifunctional hydrogel dressing with high potential for clinical application in treating open wounds.

Bioengineered vascular grafts have emerged as a promising alternative to the treatment of damaged or occlusive vessels. It is thought that polyurethane-based scaffolds possess suitable hemocompatibility and biomechanics comparable to those of normal blood vessels. In this study, we investigated the properties of electrospun scaffolds comprising various blends of biostable polycarbonate-based polyurethane (Carbothane™ 3575A) and gelatin. Scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, infra-red spectroscopy, small-angle X-ray scattering, stress-loading tests, and interactions with primary human cells and blood. Data from in vitro experiments demonstrated that a scaffold produced from a blend of 5% Carbothane™ 3575A and 10% gelatin has proven to be a suitable material for fabricating a small-diameter vascular graft. A comparative in vivo study of such vascular grafts and ePTFE grafts implanted in the abdominal aorta of Wistar rats was performed. The data of intravital study and histological examination indicated that Carbothane-based electrospun grafts outclass ePTFE grafts and represent a promising device for preclinical studies to satisfy vascular surgery needs.

The microstructure of a porous bioceramic bone graft, especially the pore architecture, plays a crucial role in the performance of the graft. Conventional bioceramic grafts typically feature a random, closed-pore structure, limiting biological activity to the periphery of the graft. This can lead to delay in full integration with the host site. Bioceramic forms with open through pores can perform better because their inner regions are accessible for natural bone remodelling. This study explores the influence of open through pores in a bioceramic graft on the migration and retention of the local cells in vitro, which will correlate to the rate of healing in vivo. Hydroxyapatite (HA) ceramic forms with aligned channels were fabricated using slip casting technique, employing sacrificial fibers. The sorption characteristics across the graft were evaluated using HOS cell line. Seven-day cultures showed viable cells within the channels, confirmed by live/dead assay, SEM analysis, and cytoskeletal staining, indicating successful cell colonization. The channel architecture effectively enhances cell migration and retention throughout its entire structure, suggesting potential applications in bone tissue engineering based on the results obtained.
多孔生物陶瓷骨移植物的微观结构,尤其是孔隙结构,对移植物的性能起着至关重要的作用。传统的生物陶瓷移植物通常具有随机、封闭的孔隙结构,将生物活性限制在移植物的外围。这可能导致与宿主部位完全融合的延迟。而具有开放式通孔的生物陶瓷可以发挥更好的作用,因为其内部区域可以进行自然骨重塑。本研究探讨了生物陶瓷移植物中开放式通孔对体外局部细胞迁移和保留的影响,这将与体内愈合率相关联。利用滑模铸造技术和牺牲纤维制造了具有排列整齐的通道的羟基磷灰石(HA)陶瓷。使用 HOS 细胞系对接枝的吸附特性进行了评估。经活体/死体检测、扫描电镜分析和细胞骨架染色证实,培养七天后,通道内的细胞存活,表明细胞成功定植。这种通道结构有效地增强了细胞在其整个结构中的迁移和保留,根据所获得的结果,它在骨组织工程中具有潜在的应用前景。

Magnetic bioactive glass-ceramics with compositions of 37SiO2–24.5CaO–24.5Na2O–6P2O5–8Fe3O4 (MGCS), 45SiO2–16.5CaO–24.5Na2O–6P2O5–8Fe3O4 (MGCC) and 45SiO2–24.5CaO–16.5Na2O–6P2O5–8Fe3O4 (MGCN) were synthesized by sol–gel route. These compositions were derived by substituting 8 wt.% magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles for SiO2, CaO and Na2O, respectively, in the bioactive glass-ceramic of composition 45SiO2–24.5CaO–24.5Na2O–6P2O5. The sol–gel derived powders were heat treated at 550 °C for 1 h to ensure optimal amounts of magnetite, combeite and sodium nitrate phases. All the heat treated samples were found to be magnetic, bioactive and non-toxic to MG-63 osteoblast cells. However, the induction heating response of MGCC was better than that of MGCS and MGCN. Notably, MGCC outperformed the commercially available ferrofluid FluidMag-CT, thereby establishing itself as a superior thermoseed for magnetic hyperthermia treatment of cancer.

Fabrication of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) with phytochemicals is an emerging green nanotechnology approach with therapeutic implications. Garlic, known for its culinary and medicinal properties, has been extensively investigated for its anticancer properties. Here, we report a method to substantially enhance the antiproliferative potency of garlic by functionalizing its phytochemicals to GNPs and demonstrate a possible mechanism of action of these nanoparticles in the triple-negative breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231. Garlic gold nanoparticles (As-GNPs) were synthesized using garlic extract (As-EX) and gold chloride and characterized using a variety of spectroscopy techniques, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Compared to As-EX, which has a negligible effect on the viability of the cells, As-GNPs inhibited cell viability with an IC50 of 0.310 ± 0.04 mg ml−1 and strongly inhibited the clonogenic and migratory propensities of these cells. As indicated by TEM, the As-GNPs entered the cells via endocytosis and dispersed in the cellular milieu. Since tubulin, the protein involved in cell division, is a verified target for several antiproliferative drugs, we next examined whether the As-GNPs interact with this protein. The As-GNPs showed concentration-dependent binding to purified tubulin, slightly but consistently perturbing its secondary helical integritywithout grossly damaging the tertiary structure of the protein or the net polymer mass of the microtubules, as indicated by a tryptophan-quenching assay, far UV-circular dichroism spectroscopy, anilinonaphthalene sulfonate-binding assay, and polymer mass analysis, respectively. In cells, As-GNPs killed the cancer cells without cell cycle arrest, as evidenced by flow cytometry.

This study utilized the freeze-drying method to create a chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sponge. To enhance its antibacterial properties, curcumin and nano silver (Cur@Ag) were added for synergistic antibacterial. After adding curcumin and nano silver, the mechanical properties of the composite sponge dressing (CS-PVA-Cur@Ag) were improved. The porosity of the composite sponge dressing was closed to 80%, which was helpful for drug release, and it had good water absorption and water retention rate. The nano silver diameter was 50–80 nm, which was optimal for killing bacteria. Antibacterial tests used Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated that little nano silver was required to eliminate bacteria. Finally, in the rat full-thickness skin wound model, the composite sponge dressing can promote wound healing in a short time. In summary, CS-PVA-Cur@Ag wound dressing could protect from bacterial infection and accelerate wound healing. Thus, it had high potential application value for wound dressing.

In terms of biomedical tools, nanodiamonds (ND) are a more recent innovation. Their size typically ranges between 4 to 100 nm. ND are produced via a variety of methods and are known for their physical toughness, durability, and chemical stability. Studies have revealed that surface modifications and functionalization have a significant influence on the optical and electrical properties of the nanomaterial. Consequently, surface functional groups of NDs have applications in a variety of domains, including drug administration, gene delivery, immunotherapy for cancer treatment, and bio-imaging to diagnose cancer. Additionally, their biocompatibility is a critical requisite for their in vivo and in vitro interventions. This review delves into these aspects and focuses on the recent advances in surface modification strategies of NDs for various biomedical applications surrounding cancer diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, the prognosis of its clinical translation has also been discussed.

Microbial infections and antibiotic resistance are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The bimetallic chitosan (CS)-capped gold-silver nanoparticles (CS-AuAg-NPs) were prepared by the seeded growth synthesis technique. The nanoparticles were optimized for particle size (PS), zeta potential (ZP) and antibacterial activity by Box–Behnken design at three levels and three factors. The developed CS-AuAg-NPs were polydispersed with mean hydrodynamic PS in the range of 55 – 289 nm and ZP ranges from +8.53 mV to +38.6 mV. The optimized CS-AuAg-NPs found to have a minimum inhibitory concentration and minimal bactericidal concentration of 1.625 ± 0.68 and 3.25 ± 0.74 µg ml−1 towards multidrug resistant (MDR) Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 (MDR AT) and 3.25 ± 0.93 and 3.25 ± 0.86 µg ml−1 towards MDR S. aureus clinical isolate MDR1695 (MDR CI) strain, respectively. The CS-AuAg-NPs were much more effective against MDR AT and MDR CI compared to clindamycin standard. The live/dead assay of clinical isolates strain demonstrated significant reduction of bacterial cells ∼67.52 folds compared to control group in 12 h. The hemolysis study suggested that CS-AuAg-NPs were non-hemolytic and safer for application in the wound. Furthermore, CS-AuAg-NPs were distributed in the CS film, which showed 87% wound recovery after 7 d in mice model. Hence, we concluded that CS-AuAg-NPs was safer and more effective against MDR bacteria and capable of skin regeneration in the infected wound.

This work identifies and describes different material-scaffold geometry combinations for cartilage tissue engineering (CTE). Previously reported potentially interesting scaffold geometries were tuned and printed using bioresorbable polycaprolactone and poly(lactide-b-ethylene) block copolymer. Medical grades of both polymers were 3D printed with fused filament fabrication technology within an ISO 7 classified cleanroom. Resulting scaffolds were then optically, mechanically and biologically tested. Results indicated that a few material-scaffold geometry combinations present potential for excellent cell viability as well as for an enhance of the chondrogenic properties of the cells, hence suggesting their suitability for CTE applications.

Methacryloyl gelatin (GelMA) is a versatile material for bioprinting because of its tunable physical properties and inherent bioactivity. Bioprinting of GelMA is often met with challenges such as lower viscosity of GelMA inks due to higher methacryloyl substitution and longer physical gelation time at room temperature. In this study, a tunable interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel was prepared from gelatin-hyaluronan dialdehyde (Gel-HDA) Schiff’s polymer, and 100% methacrylamide substituted GelMA for biofabrication through extrusion based bioprinting. Temperature sweep rheology measurements show a higher sol-gel transition temperature for IPN (30 °C) compared to gold standard GelMA (27 °C). Furthermore, to determine the tunability of the IPN hydrogel, several IPN samples were prepared by combining different ratios of Gel-HDA and GelMA achieving a compressive modulus ranging from 20.6 ± 2.48 KPa to 116.7 ± 14.80 KPa. Our results showed that the mechanical properties and printability at room temperature could be tuned by adjusting the ratios of GelMA and Gel-HDA. To evaluate cell response to the material, MC3T3-E1 mouse pre-osteoblast cells were embedded in hydrogels and 3D-printed, demonstrating excellent cell viability and proliferation after 10 d of 3D in vitro culture, making the IPN an interesting bioink for the fabrication of 3D constructs for tissue engineering applications.
