Their adhesive ability arises from amino acid and hydroxyl groups in chitosan, facilitating interactions with tissue surfaces through chemical (ionic, covalent, and hydrogen) and physical (chain entanglement) bonding. As non-toxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible materials, chitosan bio-adhesives are a safe option for medical therapies. They are particularly suitable for drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. In this review, we address chitosan-based bio-adhesives and the mechanisms associated with them. We also discuss different chitosan composite-based bio-adhesives and their biomedical applications in wound healing, drug delivery, hemostasis, and tissue regeneration. Finally, challenges and future perspectives for the clinical use of chitosan-based bio-adhesives are discussed.","PeriodicalId":83,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Chemistry B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.331,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the limitations inherent in current clinical interventions, an urgent need exists for more effective cartilage regeneration methodologies. Previous studies have underscored the potential of electrical stimulation in cartilage repair, thus motivating the investigation of innovative strategies. The present study introduces a three-dimensional scaffold fabricated through a composite technique that leverages the synergy between piezoelectricity and biofactors to enhance cartilage repair. This scaffold is composed of polylactic acid (PLLA) and barium titanate (BT) for piezoelectric stimulation and at the bottom with a collagen-coated layer infused with fibroblast growth factor-18 (FGF-18) for biofactor delivery. Designed to emulate the properties of natural cartilage, the scaffold enables controlled generation of piezoelectric charges and the sustained release of biofactors. <em>In vitro</em> tests confirm that the scaffold promotes chondrocyte proliferation, matrix hyperplasia, cellular migration, and the expression of genes associated with cartilage formation. Moreover, <em>in vivo</em> studies on rabbits have illustrated its efficacy in catalyzing the <em>in situ</em> regeneration of articular cartilage defects and remodeling the extracellular matrix. This innovative approach offers significant potential for enhancing cartilage repair and holds profound implications for regenerative medicine.</p>","PeriodicalId":83,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials Chemistry B","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2024/tb/d4tb01319k?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142248576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to being widely used to grow and modulate cell behavior, hydrogels can be made conductive to further modulate electrically active cells, such as neurons, and even incorporated into multielectrode arrays to interface with tissues. To enable conductive hydrogels, graphene flakes can be mechanically suspended into a hydrogel precursor. The conductivity of the hydrogel can be increased by increasing the weight percentage of graphene flakes in the precursor while maintaining the mechanical properties of the formed gel similar to the properties of neural tissue. By using a photocrosslinkable hydrogel matrix, such as gelatin methacrylate, with a photoabsorber, the conductive precursor solutions can be crosslinked into predefined complex patterns. Finally, the formulations can be used to support the growth of sensory neurons, derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells, for more than 7 weeks while the neurons remain viable.
