    Abstract Efficient cellular alignment in biomaterials presents a considerable challenge, demanding the refinement of appropriate material morphologies, while ensuring effective cell-surface interactions. To address this, biomaterials are continuously researched with diverse coatings, hydrogels, and polymeric surfaces. In this context, we investigate the influence of physicochemical parameters on the architecture of fibrillar hydrogels that significantly orient the topography of flexible hydrogel substrates, thereby fostering cellular adhesion and spatial organization. Our Review comprehensively assesses various techniques for aligning polymer fibrils within hydrogels, specifically interventions applied during and after the cross-linking process. These methodologies include mechanical strains, precise temperature modulation, controlled fluidic dynamics, and chemical modulators, as well as the use of magnetic and electric fields. We highlight the intrinsic appeal of these methodologies in fabricating cell-aligning interfaces and discuss their potential implications within the fields of biomaterials and tissue engineering, particularly concerning the pursuit of optimal cellular alignment.

    Abstract Background: Riboflavin (vitamin B2) is one of the most important water-soluble vitamins and a coenzyme involved in many biochemical processes. It has previously been shown that adjuvant therapy with flavin mononucleotide (a water-soluble form of riboflavin) correlates with normalization of clinically relevant immune markers in patients with COVID-19, but the mechanism of this effect remains unclear. Here, the antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects of riboflavin were investigated to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the riboflavin-induced effects.
    Methods: Riboflavin was evaluated for recombinant SARS-CoV-2 PLpro inhibition in an enzyme kinetic assay and for direct inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 replication in Vero E6 cells, as well as for anti-inflammatory activity in polysaccharide-induced inflammation models, including endothelial cells in vitro and acute lung inflammation in vivo.
    Results: For the first time, the ability of riboflavin at high concentrations (above 50 μM) to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 PLpro protease in vitro was demonstrated; however, no inhibition of viral replication in Vero E6 cells in vitro was found. At the same time, riboflavin exerted a pronounced anti-inflammatory effect in the polysaccharide-induced inflammation model, both in vitro, preventing polysaccharide-induced cell death, and in vivo, reducing inflammatory markers (IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) and normalizing lung histology.
    Conclusions: It is concluded that riboflavin reveals anti-inflammatory rather than antiviral activity for SARS-CoV-2 infection.
    General significance: Riboflavin could be suggested as a promising compound for the therapy of inflammatory diseases of broad origin.

    Abstract Modern biocompatible materials of both natural and synthetic origin, in combination with advanced techniques for their processing and functionalization, provide the basis for tissue engineering constructs (TECs) for the effective replacement of specific body defects and guided tissue regeneration. Here we describe TECs fabricated using electrospinning and 3D printing techniques on a base of synthetic (polylactic-co-glycolic acids, PLGA) and natural (collagen, COL, and hyaluronic acid, HA) polymers impregnated with core/shell β-NaYF

    Abstract With the ultimate goal of increasing tumor accumulation of therapeutics, various nanocarriers have been designed to overcome biological barriers encountered at each stage, from drug administration to the cancerous lesion. Stabilizing circulation and functionalization of the targeting surface impart high tumor accumulation properties to nanocarriers. However, various cells can recognize and infiltrate the tumor microenvironment more efficiently than synthetic carriers via overexpression of adhesive ligands, particularly in inflamed stroma of tumors. Thus, a new field of nanomedicine, called biomimicry, has evolved to generate nanoparticles with the same biological characteristics as cells that naturally infiltrate tumors. Revolutionary synthetic processes have been developed to transfer the cell membrane of leukocytes and mesenchymal cells to synthetic carriers. In addition, cells can generate their own "nanocarriers," known as exosomes, to transport molecular messages to distant sites, while biomimicry of viral and bacterial agents allows high targeting efficiency towards inflammatory immune cells. Alterations in the protein expression in cancer cells caused by inflammation can also be exploited for drug delivery. Finally, new developments in biomimetic drug delivery focus on turning the infiltrating cells into microcarriers that can actively perfuse the tumor and eventually release their therapeutic payload. In this review, we summarize recent developments in biomimetic drug delivery with a particular focus on targeting the tumor inflammatory microenvironment.
