Osteogenic differentiation and mineralization in fibre-reinforced tubular scaffolds: theoretical study and experimental evidences

The development of composite scaffolds with well-organized architecture and multi-scale properties (i.e. porosity, degradation) represents a valid approach for achieving a tissue-engineered construct capable of reproducing the medium- and long-term in vitro behaviour of hierarchically complex tissues such as spongy bone. To date, the implementation of scaffold design strategies able to summarize optimal scaffold architecture as well as intrinsic mechanical, chemical and fluid transport properties still remains a challenging issue. In this study, poly ɛ-caprolactone/polylactid acid (PCL/PLA) tubular devices (fibres of PLA in a PCL matrix) obtained by phase inversion/salt leaching and filament winding techniques were proposed as cell instructive scaffold for bone osteogenesis. Continuous fibres embedded in the polymeric matrix drastically improved the mechanical response as confirmed by compression elastic moduli, which vary from 0.214 ± 0.065 to 1.174 ± 0.143 MPa depending on the relative fibre/matrix and polymer/solvent ratios. Moreover, computational fluid dynamic simulations demonstrated the ability of composite structure to transfer hydrodynamic forces during in vitro culture, thus indicating the optimal flow rate conditions that, case by case, enables specific cellular events—i.e. osteoblast differentiation from human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs), mineralization, etc. Hence, we demonstrate that the hMSC differentiation preferentially occurs in the case of higher perfusion rates—over 0.05 ml min^–1—as confirmed by the expression of alkaline phosphate and osteocalcin markers. In particular, the highest osteopontin values and a massive mineral phase precipitation of bone-like phases detected in the case of intermediate flow rates (i.e. 0.05 ml min^–1) allows us to identify the best condition to stimulate the bone extracellular matrix in-growth, in agreement with the hydrodynamic model prediction. All these results concur to prove the succesful use of tubular composite as temporary device for long bone treatment.

A Nanoparticle Ink Allowing the High Precision Visualization of Tissue Engineered Scaffolds by MRI (Small 30/2023)

Hydrogels are widely used as cell scaffolds in several biomedical applications. Once implanted in vivo, cell scaffolds must often be visualized, and monitored overtime. However, cell scaffolds appear poorly contrasted in most biomedical imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is the imaging technique of choice for high-resolution visualization of low-density, water-rich tissues. Attempts to enhance hydrogel contrast in MRI are performed with “negative” contrast agents that produce several image artifacts impeding the delineation of the implant's contours. In this study, a magnetic ink based on ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIONs; <5 nm diameter cores) is developed and integrated into biocompatible alginate hydrogel used in cell scaffolding applications. Relaxometric properties of the magnetic hydrogel are measured, as well as biocompatibility and MR-visibility (T₁-weighted mode; in vitro and in vivo). A 2-week MR follow-up study is performed in the mouse model, demonstrating no image artifacts, and the retention of “positive” contrast overtime, which allows very precise delineation of tissue grafts with MRI. Finally, a 3D-contouring procedure developed to facilitate graft delineation and geometrical conformity assessment is applied on an inverted template alginate pore network. This proof-of-concept establishes the possibility to reveal precisely engineered hydrogel structures using this USPIONs ink high-visibility approach.     

Effect of nanoparticulate bioactive glass particles on bioactivity and cytocompatibility of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) composites

This work investigated the effect of adding nanoparticulate (29 nm) bioactive glass particles on the bioactivity, degradation and in vitro cytocompatibility of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB)) composites/nano-sized bioactive glass (n-BG). Two different concentrations (10 and 20 wt %) of nanoscale bioactive glass particles of 45S5 Bioglass composition were used to prepare composite films. Several techniques (Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray) were used to monitor their surface and bioreactivity over a 45-day period of immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF). All results suggested the P(3HB)/n-BG composites to be highly bioactive, confirmed by the formation of hydroxyapatite on material surfaces upon immersion in SBF. The weight loss and water uptake were found to increase on increasing bioactive glass content. Cytocompatibility study (cell proliferation, cell attachment, alkaline phosphatase activity and osteocalcin production) using human MG-63 osteoblast-like cells in osteogenic and non-osteogenic medium showed that the composite substrates are suitable for cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation.

Novel carboxymethyl derivatives of chitin and chitosan materials and their biomedical applications

Chitin and chitosan are natural biopolymers that are non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible. In the last decade, chitin and chitosan derivatives have garnered significant interest in the biomedical and biopharmaceutical research fields with applications as biomaterials for tissue engineering and wound healing and as excipients for drug delivery. Introducing small chemical groups to the chitin or chitosan structure, such as alkyl or carboxymethyl groups, can drastically increase the solubility of chitin and chitosan at neutral and alkaline pH values without affecting their characteristics; substitution with carboxyl groups can yield polymers with polyampholytic properties. Carboxymethyl derivatives of chitin and chitosan have shown promise for adsorbing metal ions, as drug delivery systems, in wound healing, as anti-microbial agents, in tissue engineering, as components in cosmetics and food and for anti-tumor activities. This review will focus on the preparative methods and applications of carboxymethyl and succinyl derivatives of chitin and chitosan with particular emphasis on their uses as materials for biomedical applications.
