Ongoing research is attempting to develop alternative scaffold and tissue engineered devices using modern fabrication techniques including three-dimensional (3D) printing which can fabricate a patient-specific meniscus replacement. An ideal meniscal substitute should have mechanical properties that are close to that of natural human meniscus, and also be easily adapted for surgical procedures and fixation.

This can accelerate overall implant wear, potentially leading to early failure.

Many different protocols and approaches have been developed to replicate third body wear in the laboratory but there is currently no consensus as to the optimal method for simulating this wear mode, hence the need to better understand existing methods. The aim of this study was to review published methods for experimental simulation of third body wear of arthroplasty bearing materials, to discuss the advantages and limitations of different approaches, the variables to be considered when designing a method and to highlight gaps in the current literature. The methods were divided into those which introduced abrasive particles into the articulating surfaces of the joint and those whereby third body damage is created directly to the articulating surfaces. However, it was found that there are a number of parameters, for example the influence of particle size on wear, which are not yet fully understood.

Some of these systems claim that they are comparable or even superior to fluoride in terms of their ability to remineralize enamel. Besides, their use can help avoid some of the risks associated with fluoride and support treatments of patients with a high risk of caries. Two individual non-fluoride systems can be distinguished; intrinsic and extrinsic remineralization approaches. Intrinsic (protein/peptide) systems adsorb to hydroxyapatite crystals/organics located within enamel prisms and accumulate endogenous calcium and phosphate ions from saliva, which ultimately leads to the re-growth of enamel crystals. Extrinsic remineralization systems function on the basis of the external (non-saliva) supply of calcium and phosphate to the crystals to be re-grown.

Zinc has drawn recent attention for its use, both as pure metal and alloyed, in arterial stents due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and low corrosion rates. Previous studies have demonstrated that zinc metal implants prevent the development of neointimal hyperplasia, which is a common cause of restenosis following coronary intervention. This suppression appears to be smooth muscle cell-specific, as reendothelization of the neointima is not inhibited. To better understand the basis of zinc's differential effects on rat aortic smooth muscle (RASMC) versus endothelial (RAENDO) cells, we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of both cell types following one-week continuous treatment with 5 µM or 50 µM zinc. This analysis indicated that genes whose protein products regulate mitochondrial functions, including oxidative phosphorylation and fusion/fission, are differentially affected by zinc in the two cell types. To better understand this, we performed Seahorse metabolic flux assays and quantitative imaging of mitochondrial networks in both cell types. Zinc treatment differently affected energy metabolism and mitochondrial structure/function in the two cell types. For example, both basal and maximal oxygen consumption rates were increased by zinc in RASMC but not in RAENDO. Zinc treatment increased apparent mitochondrial fusion in RASMC cells but increased mitochondrial fission in RAENDO cells. These results provide some insight into the mechanisms by which zinc treatment differently affects the two cell types and this information is important for understanding the role of zinc treatment in vascular cells and improving its use in biodegradable metal implants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72379,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials and biosystems","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100027"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.bbiosy.2021.100027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9336300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intriguingly, recent findings have outlined in detail the ‘modern-day’ view that mitochondria are an important but underappreciated drug target. Mitochondria have been implicated in the pathophysiology of many human diseases, ranging from neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular diseases to infections and cancer. It is now clear that normal mitochondrial function involves the building blocks of a cell to generate lipids, proteins and nucleic acids thereby facilitating cell growth. On the other hand, mitochondrial dysfunction reprograms crucial cellular functions into pathological pathways, and is considered as an integral hallmark of cancer. Therefore, strategies to target mitochondria can provide a wealth of new therapeutic approaches in the fight against cancer, by overcoming a number of problems associated with conventional pharmaceutical drugs, including low solubility, poor bioavailability and non-selective biodistribution. The combination of nanoparticles with ‘classical’ chemotherapeutic drugs to create biocompatible, multifunctional mitochondria-targeted nanoplatforms has been recently studied. This approach is now rapidly expanding for targeted drug delivery systems, and for hybrid nanostructures that can be activated with light (photodynamic and/or photothermal therapy). The selective delivery of nanoparticles to mitochondria is an elegant shortcut to more selective, targeted, and safer cancer treatment. We propose that the use of nanoparticles to target mitochondria be termed “mitoNANO”. The present minireview sheds light on the design and application of mitoNANO as advanced cancer therapeutics, that may overcome drug resistance and show fewer side effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72379,"journal":{"name":"Biomaterials and biosystems","volume":"3 ","pages":"Article 100023"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.bbiosy.2021.100023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9336271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the role of these forces at vessel bifurcations in regulating S1P-dependent endothelial barrier function is not known. In this study, we implemented a microfluidic platform that recapitulates the flow dynamics of vessel bifurcations with in situ quantification of the permeability of microvessel analogues. Co-application of S1P with impinging bifurcated fluid flow, which is characterized by approximately zero shear stress and 38 dyn•cm<sup>−2</sup> stagnation pressure at the vessel bifurcation point, promotes vessel stabilization. Similarly, co-treatment of S1P with 3 dyn•cm<sup>−2</sup> laminar shear stress is also protective of endothelial barrier function. Moreover, it is shown that vessel stabilization due to bifurcated fluid flow and laminar shear stress is dependent on S1P receptor 1 or 2 signaling.
