Abstract
Oncostatin M (OSM) is a pleiotropic cytokine that can significantly enhance wound healing. Here, we report on the use of nanoparticles (NPs) formulated from a genetically engineered A200_hOSM protein polymer, which combines an elastin-like recombinamer (A200) with human OSM (hOSM) in the same molecule, aiming at enhancing wound healing processes. A200_hOSM NPs were obtained by self-assembly and evaluated for their bioactivity in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. The NPs demonstrated superior efficacy in promoting cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, exhibiting nearly threefold greater proliferation at 48 and 72 h, compared to cells treated with commercial hOSM. Moreover, the NPs stimulated cell migration and collagen production through activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling. They also promoted the production of IL-6 and IL-8, pro-inflammatory cytokines with a critical role for wound healing. Promotion of keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation were further validated in non-commercial 3D skin equivalents. The A200_hOSM NPs revealed potential in accelerating wound healing, evidenced by reduced wound size and a thicker epidermal layer. This system represents a significant advancement in the field of bioinspired biomaterials by improving cytokine bioavailability, allowing for localized therapy and offering a cost-effective strategy for employing hOSM in wound healing management.

Biomaterials Advances, previously known as Materials Science and Engineering: C-Materials for Biological Applications (P-ISSN: 0928-4931, E-ISSN: 1873-0191). Includes topics at the interface of the biomedical sciences and materials engineering. These topics include:
• Bioinspired and biomimetic materials for medical applications
• Materials of biological origin for medical applications
• Materials for "active" medical applications
• Self-assembling and self-healing materials for medical applications
• "Smart" (i.e., stimulus-response) materials for medical applications
• Ceramic, metallic, polymeric, and composite materials for medical applications
• Materials for in vivo sensing
• Materials for in vivo imaging
• Materials for delivery of pharmacologic agents and vaccines
• Novel approaches for characterizing and modeling materials for medical applications
Manuscripts on biological topics without a materials science component, or manuscripts on materials science without biological applications, will not be considered for publication in Materials Science and Engineering C. New submissions are first assessed for language, scope and originality (plagiarism check) and can be desk rejected before review if they need English language improvements, are out of scope or present excessive duplication with published sources.
Biomaterials Advances sits within Elsevier''s biomaterials science portfolio alongside Biomaterials, Materials Today Bio and Biomaterials and Biosystems. As part of the broader Materials Today family, Biomaterials Advances offers authors rigorous peer review, rapid decisions, and high visibility. We look forward to receiving your submissions!
