However, the structure of ESM primarily comprises disulfide bonds and heterochains, which poses a challenge for protein solubilization/extraction. Therefore, the method of dissolving and extracting bioactive protein components from ESM has significant potential value and importance for exploring the reuse of egg waste and environmental protection. In this study, soluble ESM proteins (SEPs) were extracted from conventional (industrial-fed) and organic (free-grounded) using an acidic 3-mercaptopropionic acid (3-MPA) extraction strategy. FTIR was employed to monitor the chemical changes in the ESM, while LC–MS/MS was used to conduct the proteomic analysis. The biocompatibility and effects of SEP cocktails on ECM synthesis were also investigated. The results indicated that the acidic 3-MPA strategy effectively altered the ESM chemical composition, thereby facilitating SEPs extraction. The SEPs from conventional and organic eggs have different protein profiles but with partial overlapping. SEPs from both sources showed similar desirable biosafety profiles and dose-dependent promotion of osteoblastic (ECM) component synthesis, suggesting that different egg sources may contribute to consistent core biological functions of protein products, they may also introduce different functional priorities.</p>","PeriodicalId":15142,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research.

Twenty million deaths in 2021. Cardiovascular implants are among the most used biomaterials in the clinical world. However, poor endothelialisation and rapid thrombosis remains a challenge. Simple chemical surface modification techniques can be used to steer biological interactions without affecting the bioimplants' overall bulk characteristics such as radiopacity and flexibility. Although silanes are well studied for protein and cell interactions, the methodical investigation of cardiac endothelial cell (EC) alongside smooth muscle cell (SMC) to mimic natural arterial environments has been limited. In this study, these cells have been investigated on surfaces functionalized with methyl, amine, thiol, methacrylate, and fluorine organosilane groups. Cardiac EC and SMC growth was investigated with metabolic activity, time lapse imaging, and immunofluorescent staining techniques. The results demonstrated that the surfaces tested are able to selectively regulate the viability and growth of the cells. Aminosilane modified surfaces displayed 2-fold higher metabolic activity with HUVEC and 2-fold less metabolic activity with HCASMC cell lines, compared to tissue culture plastic controls. The amino-modification outperformed all other chemistries tested in terms of ability to promote the proliferation of ECs, while importantly reducing the activity of SMCs. This report demonstrates that aminosilane modified surfaces have the potential to be utilized in novel cardiovascular implants, which could improve biological integration in the short and possibly longer-term. The findings of this study suggest that specific chemical modifications of the surface can enhance endothelial cell activity while minimizing the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, which are often associated with thrombosis.

However, the development superior osteoconductive and osteoinductive materials for bone regeneration remains a challenge. To overcome these constraints, Cu-doped hydroxyapatite (HAP(Cu)) from waste eggshells has been produced for bone tissue engineering. The materials produced were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction, and photoelectron spectroscopy. The scanning microscopy images revealed that the developed HAP was a rod-like crystalline structure with a typical 80–150 nm diameter. Energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy showed that the generated HAP was mostly composed of calcium, oxygen, and phosphorus. The Ca/P molar ratios in eggshell-derived and copper-doped HAP were 1.61 and 1.67, respectively, similar to the commercially available HAP ratio (1.67). The WST-8 assay was used to assess the biocompatibility of HAPs with hBMSCs. HAP(Cu) in the media significantly altered the cytotoxicity of biocompatible HAP(Cu). The osteogenic potential of HAP(Cu) was demonstrated by greater mineralization than that of pure HAP or the control. HAP(Cu) showed higher osteogenic gene expression than pure HAP and the control, indicating its stronger osteogenic potential. Furthermore, we assessed the effects of sample-treated macrophage-derived conditioned medium (CM) on hBMSCs' osteogenesis. CM-treated HAP(Cu) demonstrated a significantly higher osteogenic potential vis-à-vis pure HAP(Cu). These findings revealed that HAP(Cu) with CM significantly improved osteogenesis in hBMSCs and can be explored as a bone graft in bone tissue engineering.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":15142,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biomedical materials research.

Polyether urethane diacrylamide (PEUDAm), a functionalized long-chain macromer based on PEG, was used to synthesize hydrogels with ionic conductivity conferred by incorporating ions into the liquid phase of the hydrogel. The impact of salt concentration, water content, temperature, and gel formation on both mechanical properties and conductivity was characterized to establish parameters for tuning hydrogel properties. To further expand the range of conductivity available in these ionic hydrogels, 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) was incorporated as a single copolymer network or double network configuration. As expected, conductivity in these ionic gels was primarily driven by ion diffusivity and charge density, which were dependent on hydrogel network formation and swelling. Copolymer network structure had minimal effect on the conductivity, which was primarily driven by counter-ion equilibrium; however, the mechanical properties and equilibrium swelling were strongly dependent on network structure.
