Previously, it was thought that 3D cotton wool-like structures could only be produced from sol-gel when the sol contained calcium nitrate, implying that the Ca2+ and its electronic charge had a significant effect on the structure produced. Here, fibres with a 3D appearance were also electrospun from compositions containing only silica. A polymer binding agent was added to inorganic sol-gel solutions, enabling electrospinning prior to bioactive glass network formation and the polymer was removed by calcination. While the addition of Ca2+ contributes to the 3D morphology, here we show that other factors, such as relative humidity, play an important role in producing the 3D cotton-wool-like macrostructure of the fibres. A human dermal fibroblast cell line (CD-18CO) was exposed to dissolution products of the samples. Cell proliferation and metabolic activity tests were carried out and a VEGF ELISA showed a significant increase in VEGF production in cells exposed to the bioactive glass samples compared to control in DMEM. A novel SiO2–CaO nanofibrous scaffold was created that showed tailorable physical and dissolution properties, the control and composition of these release products are important for directing desirable wound healing interactions.","PeriodicalId":9016,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/1748-605X/ab591d","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46162474","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}

Rapid endothelialization, antithrombosis and antiproliferation approaches are suitable for dispelling these complications. Nevertheless, common antithrombosis and antiproliferation techniques are usually incompatible with rapid endothelialization on vascular grafts. To overcome these obstacles, we developed nanofibrous polyurethane scaffolds loaded with resveratrol drug, which is a natural compound extracted from plants and shows multifaceted effects in cardiovascular protection. It was found that the tensile strength and Young’s modulus in modified scaffolds were significantly increased by resveratrol loading into membranes. The tensile strengths and breaking strains of resveratrol-loaded scaffolds were close to that of native vessels. The resveratrol release profile from the nanofibrous scaffolds occurred in a sustained manner. The anti-thrombogenicity of resveratrol-loaded nanofibers increased compared to polyurethane alone, with the result that prolonged human blood clotting time and lower hemolysis were detected on these scaffolds. The viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells on resveratrol-loaded scaffolds was evaluated. Our findings demonstrated that resveratrol-loaded nanofibers resulted in not only appropriate antithrombotic properties, but the formation of a monolayer of endothelial cells on the scaffold surface and lower smooth muscle cell growth. These resveratrol-loaded nanofibers are suggested as potential scaffolds for SCTEVGs.","PeriodicalId":9016,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/1748-605X/ab4e23","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44704246","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}

It was found that the properties of BC/PVA were better suited for use as a corneal stroma material than the BC hydrogel. The human corneal stromal cells (hCSCs) were used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the materials, wherein BC/PVA displayed excellent biocompatibility with these cells. Furthermore, in the in vivo studies, the BC/PVA was transplanted intrastromally in rabbits. After four weeks, the cornea remained almost transparent, and without obvious inflammation, sensitization or neovascularization, as confirmed by the clinical and histological examinations.

The best way to face the challenge is to develop a biomimetic construct to mimic the multilayered gradient from cartilage, to calcified cartilage and subchondral bone. In this study, bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs) were cultured on electrospun fibrous meshes and cell sheets were incubated. The fibrous meshes were composed of 50% poly(L-lactide) and 50% gelatin, displaying excellent biocompatibility, cell affinity and degradability. Differentiation of BMSC sheets on fibrous meshes was induced chondrogenically or osteogenically. In particular, the BMSC sheets were able to be efficiently induced differentiating towards calcified cartilage by using a 1:1 (v/v) mixed medium of chondrogenic and osteogenic inductive media. Thus, a gradient 3D construct was built by stacking the differently pre-differentiated cell/mesh complexes layer by layer from top to bottom to mimic the cartilage-to-bone transition. With this gradient construct being implanted in the rabbit knee osteochondral defect, it was confirmed that it could promote the tissue regeneration with intact cartilage layer formation in comparison with the multilayered construct without a gradient. The strategy of using properly pre-differentiated BMSC sheet on fibrous mesh to build the osteochondral interface was thus suggested as being feasible and effective in mimicking its hierarchical complexity, and favored the repairing of injured joint cartilage.","PeriodicalId":9016,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/1748-605X/ab49e2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41924112","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}

Scaffold parameters such as pore size, pore interconnectivity, fibre diameter, and fibre stiffness are crucial parameters of fibrous bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds required to replicate the native environment. Optimum values vary with material, fabrication method and cell type. Melt electrowriting (MEW) provides precise control over extracellular matrix (ECM)-like fibrous scaffold architecture. The goal of this study was to fabricate and characterise poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) fibrous scaffolds with 100, 200, and 300 μm pore sizes using MEW and determine the influence of pore size on human bone marrow stem cell (hMSC) adhesion, morphology, proliferation, mechanosignalling and osteogenesis. Each scaffold was fabricated with a fibre diameter of 4.01 ± 0.06 μm. The findings from this study highlight the enhanced osteogenic effects of controlled micro-scale fibre deposition using MEW, where the benefits of 100 μm square pores in comparison with larger pore sizes are illustrated, a pore size traditionally reported as a lower limit for osteogenesis. This suggests a lower pore size is optimal when hMSCs are seeded in a 3D ECM-like fibrous structure, with the 100 μm pore size optimal as it demonstrates the highest global stiffness, local fibre stiffness, highest seeding efficiency, maintains a spread cellular morphology, and significantly enhances hMSC collagen and mineral deposition. Similarly, this platform represents an effective in vitro model for the study of hMSC behaviour to determine the significant osteogenic benefits of controlling ECM-like fibrous BTE scaffold pore size using MEW.","PeriodicalId":9016,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/1748-605X/ab49f2","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43670930","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}

In this study, we evaluate the effect of side-specific luminal SDF1α coating and adventitial FN coating on the in vivo cellularization and degeneration of decellularized rat aortic implants. Aortic arch vascular donor grafts were detergent-decellularized. The luminal graft surface was coated with SDF1α, while the adventitial surface was coated with FN.

The purpose of this study was to synthesize triple-cue electrospun aligned nanofibrous films (physical cue) of poly(3-hyroxybutyric acid-co-3-hydroxyvaleric acid) (PHBV) blended with magnesium-oleate (MgOl) (chemical cue) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) (therapeutic cue) with potential incorporation into hollow nerve guidance conduits for an enhanced regenerative strategy. A Box–Behnken experimental design of 15 formulations, were analysed for crystallinity, textural properties and in vitro water-uptake, erosion, NAC-release and PC12 cell viability. Nucleating effects of MgOl provided tuning of PHBV electrospinning-induced crystallinity and mechanical properties. Tensile strengths and deformation moduli of ±12 MPa and ±7 MP, respectively, were attainable, thereby matching native nerve mechanics. Crystallinity changes ascribed differing release kinetics to NAC over 30 d: diffusion-based (42%–58% crystallinity with 33%–47% fractional release) and polymer-relaxational (59%–65% crystallinity with 60%–82% fractional release). The synergistic activity of MgOl and NAC increased PC12 proliferation by 32.6% compared to the control. MgOl produced dual actions as non-toxic plasticiser and PC12 cell proliferation-promoter via nucleation and neurotrophic-like effects, respectively. Controlled release of NAC imparted neuro-protectant effects on PC12 cells and promoted neurite extension, thus, making electrospun PHBV-MgOl nanofibrous films a versatile and promising approach for axonal guidance in peripheral nerve repair strategies.","PeriodicalId":9016,"journal":{"name":"Biomedical materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/1748-605X/ab453c","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46950320","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}
