Therefore, we explored the bone regeneration promotion effect of allo-BMSCs in 3D-printed autologous bone particle (ABP) scaffolds. First, we concurrently printed scaffolds with polycaprolactone, ABPs, and allo-BMSCs for appropriate support, providing bioactive factors and seed cells to promote osteogenesis. In vitro studies showed that ABP scaffolds promoted allo-BMSC osteogenic differentiation. In vivo studies revealed that the implantation of scaffolds loaded with ABPs and allo-BMSCs into canine skull defects for nine months promoted osteogenesis. Further experiments suggested that only a small portion of implanted allo-BMSCs survived and differentiated into vascular endothelial cells, chondrocytes, and osteocytes. The implanted allo-BMSCs released stromal cell-derived factor 1 through paracrine signaling to recruit native BMSCs into the defect, promoting bone regeneration. This study contributes to our understanding of allo-BMSCs, providing information relevant to their future application.","PeriodicalId":48627,"journal":{"name":"Bio-Design and Manufacturing","volume":"8 1","pages":"85-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147889169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While elevated testosterone levels have been implicated in the pathological process of ARVC, its exact contribution to cardiac fibrosis in ARVC remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the potential contribution of gender-based differences on the distribution of the low-voltage area in an ARVC cohort undergoing an electrophysiological study, which was indicated by feature selection. Additionally, we established engineered cardiac spheroid models in vitro using patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) and iPSC-derived cardiac fibroblasts (icFBs). We elucidated the pathogenicity of abnormal splicing in the plakophilin-2 (PKP2) gene caused by an intronic mutation. Additionally, pathogenic validation of the desmoglein-2 (DSG2) point mutation further confirms the reliability of the models. Moreover, testosterone exacerbated the DNA damage in the mutated cardiomyocytes and further activated myofibroblasts in a chain reaction. In conclusion, we designed and constructed an in vitro three-dimensionally-engineered cardiac spheroid model of ARVC based on clinical findings and provided direct evidence of the fibrotic role of testosterone in ARVC.","PeriodicalId":48627,"journal":{"name":"Bio-Design and Manufacturing","volume":"8 1","pages":"20-35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147893454","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the healed skin tissue often exhibits abnormal morphology and functionality, including scarring and inflammation. In this study, a composite bioink composed of methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) and chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) was proposed for printing a dermal scaffold using digital light processing (DLP) technology. The GelMA/COS bioink exhibited suitable porosity, swelling, degradation rate, and mechanical properties. The inclusion of COS demonstrated antibacterial effects against both Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria, while simultaneously fostering the proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). Additionally, the application of COS could effectively reduce the expression levels of fibrosis-related genes, such as collagen I, collagen III, and fibronectin I. The three-dimensionally printed cell-laden dermal scaffold exhibited excellent shape fidelity and high cellular viability, facilitating the extension of HDFs along the scaffold and the simultaneous secretion of extracellular matrix proteins. Furthermore, the HDF-laden dermal scaffold transplanted into full-thickness skin defect sites in nude mice was shown to accelerate wound closure, reduce inflammation, and improve wound healing. Overall, the DLP-printed dermal scaffold provides an appealing approach for effectively treating full-thickness skin defects in clinical settings.","PeriodicalId":48627,"journal":{"name":"Bio-Design and Manufacturing","volume":"8 1","pages":"68-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147908383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, numerous wound dressings have been developed to injuries and various antibacterial functions. However, ordinary antibacterial strategies could not provide long-term resistance to infections and could not promote wound healing. Here, we proposed a strategy for enhancing resistance to seawater immersion wound infection by killing bacteria and delivering bacterial antigens in situ. Specifically, MXene-embedded tannin–Eu3+ (M@TA–Eu) particles were constructed to effectively alleviate injuries infected through seawater immersion and persistently fight infection by forming in situ bacterial vaccines and immune memory. In the particle, the platform composed of TA and Eu3+ exhibited provascularization and antigen presentation effects. MXenes with near-infrared photothermal effect were introduced to kill the bacteria, promote the recruitment of antigen presentation cells, and ultimately enhance vaccination efficacy. Experimental results showed that the particles not only effectively accelerated the healing of injuries by relieving wound inflammation and inhibiting bacteria but also produced a potent vaccination by forming in situ bacterial vaccines. Therefore, the M@TA–Eu particles are novel materials for high-grade anti-infection dressing.","PeriodicalId":48627,"journal":{"name":"Bio-Design and Manufacturing","volume":"8 1","pages":"116-133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147917836","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A variety of biomaterials have been used to treat complex bone defects. However, final bone repair outcomes may be adversely affected by poor osteogenic capacity and risk of infection. Consequently, therapeutic methods are required that reduce bacterial contamination and increase the use of osteogenic biomaterials. Herein, we report the preparation of poly(lactic acid-coglycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres coloaded with magnesium (Mg2+) and gallium (Ga3+) ions (Mg-Ga@PLGA), which can fill irregular bone defects and show good biosafety. During in vitro testing, Mg-Ga@PLGA not only showed a synergistic effect on promoting osteogenic differentiation but also inhibited osteoclastic differentiation. Moreover, we found that Mg-Ga@PLGA demonstrated an antibacterial effect. During in vivo testing, Mg-Ga@PLGA exhibited strong in situ osteogenic ability. In conclusion, Mg-Ga@PLGA has good potential for treating bone defects at risk of infection.","PeriodicalId":48627,"journal":{"name":"Bio-Design and Manufacturing","volume":"8 1","pages":"150-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most studies have focused only on the topographical features of the grafts, we have considered both the biophysical and biochemical manipulations in our applied nanoscaffold. To achieve this, we fabricated an electrospun nanofibrous scaffold (ENS) containing polylactide nanofibers loaded with lithium (Li) ions, a Wnt/<i>β</i>‐catenin signaling activator. In addition, we seeded human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hADMSCs) onto this engineered scaffold to examine if their differentiation toward Schwann-like cells was induced. We further examined the efficacy of the scaffolds for nerve regeneration in vivo via grafting in a PNI rat model. Our results showed that Li-loaded ENSs gradually released Li within 11 d, at concentrations ranging from 0.02 to (3.64 ± 0.10) mmol/L, and upregulated the expression of Wnt/<i>β</i>-catenin target genes (<i>cyclinD1</i> and <i>c-Myc</i>) as well as those of Schwann cell markers (growth-associated protein 43 (GAP43), S100 calcium binding protein B (S100B), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and SRY-box transcription factor 10 (SOX10)) in differentiated hADMSCs. In the PNI rat model, implantation of Li-loaded ENSs with/without cells improved behavioral features such as sensory and motor functions as well as the electrophysiological characteristics of the injured nerve. This improved function was further validated by histological analysis of sciatic nerves grafted with Li-loaded ENSs, which showed no fibrous connective tissue but enhanced organized myelinated axons. The potential of Li-loaded ENSs in promoting Schwann cell differentiation of hADMSCs and axonal regeneration of injured sciatic nerves suggests their potential for application in peripheral nerve tissue engineering.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Graphic abstract</h3>\u0000","PeriodicalId":48627,"journal":{"name":"Bio-Design and Manufacturing","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
