Minimally invasive implantation of an injectable scaffold in the cavity is a promising approach for potential regeneration of tissue loss. This study aimed at designing an <i>in situ</i>-gelling conductive hydrogel containing silk fibroin (SF), brain decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM), and carbon nanotubes (CNT) for potential use in brain tissue regeneration. Two percent w/v SF hydrogels with different concentrations of dECM (0.1%, 0.2%, or 0.3% w/v) and CNTs (0.05%, 0.1%, or 0.25% w/v) were fabricated and characterized. It was observed that with the addition of dECM, the porosity decreased, whereas swelling and electrical conductivity tended to increase. The addition of dECM also led to a faster resorption rate, but no significant change in compressive modulus. Addition of CNTs, on the other hand, led to a denser, stronger, and more regular porous structure, higher swelling ratio, faster gelation time, slower degradation rate, and a significant increase in electrical conductivity. dECM and CNTs combined together resulted in superior porosity, swelling, resorption rate, mechanical properties, and electrical conductivity compared with SF scaffolds containing only dECM or CNTs. Hydrogel samples containing 2% SF, 0.3% dECM, and 0.1% CNTs had a high porosity (58.9%), low swelling ratio (15.9%), high conductivity (2.35 × 10<sup>-4</sup> S/m), and moderate degradation rate (37.3% after 21 days), appropriate for neural tissue engineering applications. Cell evaluation studies also showed that the hydrogel systems support the cell adhesion and growth, with no sign of significant cytotoxicity. Impact statement Tissue loss and formation of a fluid-filled cavity following stroke, traumatic brain injury, or brain tumor resection lead to sensorimotor and/or cognitive deficits. The lack of a healthy extracellular matrix in the cavity avoids the endogenous cell migration and axonal sprouting and may also worsen the secondary injuries to peri-lesional tissue. Due to the brain anatomy, simple implantation of tissue engineering scaffolds to the injured site is not possible in many cases.

Traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCIs) are an example of a chronic injury in which no cure or complete functional recovery treatment has been developed. In part, this has been due to the complex and interconnected nature of the central nervous system (CNS), the cellular makeup, its extracellular matrix (ECM), and the injury site pathophysiology. One way to combat the complex nature of an SCI has been to create functional tissue-engineered scaffolds that replace or replenish the aspects of the CNS and tissue/ECM that are damaged following the immediate injury and subsequent immune response. This can be achieved by employing the tissue-engineering triad consisting of cells, biomaterial(s), and environmental factors. Stem cells, with their innate ability to proliferate and differentiate, are a common choice for cellular therapies. Natural or synthetic biomaterials that have tunable characteristics are normally used as the scaffold base. Environmental factors can range from drugs to growth factors (GFs) or proteins, depending on if the idea would be to stimulate exogeneous or endogenous cell populations or just simply retain cells on the scaffold for effective transplantation. For functional regeneration and integration for SCI, the scaffold must promote neuroprotection and neuroplasticity. Tissue-engineering strategies have shown benefits including neuronal differentiation, axonal regeneration, axonal outgrowth, integration into the native spinal cord, and partial functional recovery.

However, there is a paucity of research on the impact of negative pressure on hair growth in murine models. Despite the ability of nude mice to develop hair follicles, the hair they produce is often flawed towing to genetically induced keratin disorders, rendering them a pertinent animal model for assessing hair regeneration. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of negative pressure on hair follicle growth in a nude mouse model. To achieve this, a customized external tissue expansion device was developed to apply negative pressure to the dorsum of nude mice. The mice were subjected to several treatment courses consisting of 15 and 30 min of continuous negative pressure at 10 mmHg, which were repeated 5 and 10 times every other day until sacrifice. Dorsal skin samples were subsequently extracted from the suction and nonsuction areas. The sections were stained with various antibodies to assess the expression of SOX-9, LHX-2, Keratin-15, β-catenin, CD31, and vascular endothelial growth factor-A, and a TUNEL assay was used to analyze cell apoptosis. The results showed that the number of hair follicles and angiogenesis were significantly higher in the suction area than in the nonsuction area in all groups. Moreover, mice that received NPT for 15 min for 10 times had a higher hair follicle density than the other three groups. Immunofluorescence staining for LHX-2 and Keratin 15 further validated the results of these findings. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that negative pressure effectively promotes hair follicle growth and angiogenesis in nude mice through SOX-9- and LHX-2-mediated follicular regeneration and β-catenin-mediated hair follicle morphogenesis. Impact Statement The results of this study indicate that negative pressure therapy (NPT) is effective in promoting hair growth in nude mice, as evidenced by increased hair follicle density and angiogenesis in the treated areas. Using a custom external tissue expansion device (ETED) device, 15-min NPT treatment conducted over 10 sessions demonstrated the highest follicle density.

Autologous tissue flap transplantation, considered the gold standard for treatment, is associated with various drawbacks, including the sacrifice of donor sources, postoperative complications, and limitations in surgical techniques, thereby impeding its widespread applicability. The emergence of tissue-engineered skin flaps, notably the acellular adipose flap (AAF), offers potential alternative solutions. However, a critical concern confronting large-scale tissue-engineered skin flaps currently revolves around the reendothelialization of internal vascular networks. In our study, we have developed an AAF utilizing perfusion decellularization, demonstrating excellent physical properties. Cytocompatibility experiments have confirmed its cellular safety, and cell adhesion experiments have revealed spatial specificity in facilitating endothelial cells adhesion within the adipose flap scaffold. Using a novel mimetic physiological fluid shear stress setting, endothelial cells were dynamically inoculated and cultured within the acellular vascular network of the pedicled AAF in our research. Histological and gene expression analyses have shown that the mimetic physiological fluid dynamic model significantly enhanced the reendothelialization of the AAF. This innovative platform of acellular adipose biomaterials combined with hydrodynamics may offer valuable insights for the design and manufacturing of 3D vascularized tissue constructs, which can be applied to the repair of extensive soft-tissue defects. Impact Statement This study investigated reendothelialization of the acellular adipose flap (AAF) using 2D and 3D culture models <i>in vitro</i>. Under 2D conditions, AAF regulated endothelial cells morphology with spatial differences. A 3D mimetic physiological hydrodynamics culture model was constructed to investigate the AAF reendothelialization. Exposure of endothelial cells to physiologically fluid shear stress improved the AAF reendothelialization and increased the expression of the extracellular matrix-integrins-cytoskeleton pathway. Conversely, exposure to nonphysiological hydrodynamics and static environments decreased the reendothelialization.
