    Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the safety and function of poly(lactic-acid-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL)/fibrinogen nanofibers (P/F-Ns), and provide theoretical basis for the clinical application. The surface morphology, mechanical properties, the hydrophilicity and the fibrinogen content of P/F-Ns were tested by scanning electron microscope, the material testing machine, the contact angle meter and the microplate reader, respectively. The cell adhesion, proliferation and ligament remodeling genes expression of Hig-82 cells on P/F-Ns were conducted through cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and real-time quantitative PCR analyses, respectively. The results showed that with the increase of the fibrinogen content, the pore sizes and hydrophilicity of three P/F-Ns increased, but the mechanical properties decreased. Cell adhesion and proliferation tests showed that P/F-N-2 held the best ability to promote cell adhesion and proliferation. The ligament remodeling genes expressions of Hig-82 cells on P/F-N-1, P/F-N-2 and P/F-N-3 were all up-regulated compared to P/F-N-0 on days 3 and 7. All the three P/F-Ns containing fibrinogen (P/F-N-1, P/F-N-2 and P/F-N-3) had better biocompatibility compared to P/F-N-0, and could be efficiently applied to the reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament.

    Abstract Pro-inflammatory response impairs the constructive repair of abdominal wall defects after mesh implantation. Electrospinning-aid functionalization has the potential to improve the highly orchestrated response by attenuating the over-activation of foreign body reactions. Herein, we combined poly(L-lactic acid-co-caprolactone) (PLLA-CL) with gelatin proportionally via electrospinning, with Ibuprofen (IBU) incorporation to fabricate a bilayer mesh for the repair improvement. The PLLA-CL/gelatin/IBU (PGI) mesh was characterized in vitro and implanted into the rat model with a full-thickness defect for a comprehensive evaluation in comparison to the PLLA-CL/gelatin (PG) and off-the-shelf small intestinal submucosa (SIS) meshes. The bilayer PGI mesh presented a sustained release of IBU over 21 days with degradation in vitro and developed less-intensive intraperitoneal adhesion along with a histologically weaker inflammatory response than the PG mesh after 28 days. It elicited an M2 macrophage-dominant foreign body reaction within the process, leading to a pro-remodeling response similar to the biological SIS mesh, which was superior to the PG mesh. The PGI mesh provided preponderant mechanical supports over the SIS mesh and the native abdominal wall with similar compliance. Collectively, the newly developed mesh advances the intraperitoneal applicability of electrospun meshes by guiding a pro-remodeling response and offers a feasible functionalization approach upon immunomodulation.

    Abstract The main reason for the failure of artificial blood vessel transplantation is the lack of mechanically matched materials with excellent blood compatibility. The electrospun biodegradable polyurethane (BPU) fibers with micro to nanoscale topography and high porosity similar to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is one of the most suitable options for vascular graft. In our recent study, we prepared a series of PCL-based BPU fibers by combining two-step solution polymerization and electrospinning. SEM,

    Abstract Psoriasis and skin tumors (such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma) are chronic diseases that endanger physical and mental health, and yet the causes are largely unknown and treatment options limited. The development of targeted drugs requires a better understanding of the exact pathogenesis of these diseases, and Yes-associated protein (YAP), a member of the Hippo signaling pathway, is believed to play an important role. Psoriasis and skin tumors are characterized by excessive cell proliferation, abnormal differentiation, vasodilation, and proliferation. Here, we review the literature related to YAP-associated disease mechanisms and discuss the latest research. YAP regulates cell apoptosis, proliferation, and differentiation; inhibits cell density and intercellular contacts and angiogenesis; and maintains the three-dimensional structure of the skin. These mechanisms may be associated with the occurrence and development of psoriasis and skin tumors. The results of recent studies have shown that YAP expression is increased in psoriasis and skin tumors. High expression of YAP in psoriasis and skin tumors may indicate its positive functions in skin inflammation and malignancies and may play an important role in disease pathogenesis. The study of new drugs targeting YAP can provide novel approaches for the treatment of skin diseases.

    Abstract Biomaterial scaffolds boost tissue repair and regeneration by providing physical support, delivering biological signals and/or cells, and recruiting endogenous cells to facilitate tissue-material integration and remodeling. Foreign body response (FBR), an innate immune response that occurs immediately after biomaterial implantation, is a critical factor in determining the biological outcomes of biomaterial scaffolds. Electrospinning is of great simplicity and cost-effectiveness to produce nanofiber scaffolds with well-defined physicochemical properties and has been used in a variety of regenerative medicine applications in preclinical trials and clinical practice. A deep understanding of causal factors between material properties and FBR of host tissues is beneficial to the optimal design of electrospun scaffolds with favorable immunomodulatory properties. We herein prepared and characterized three electrospun scaffolds with distinct fiber configurations and investigated their effects on FBR in terms of immune cell-material interactions and host responses. Our results show that electrospun yarn scaffold results in greater cellular immune reactions and elevated FBR in

    Abstract The increasing aging of the population has elevated bone defects to a significant threat to human life and health. Aerogel, a biomimetic material similar to an extracellular matrix (ECM), is considered an effective material for the treatment of bone defects. However, most aerogel scaffolds suffer from immune rejection and poor anti-inflammatory properties and are not well suited for human bone growth. In this study, we used electrospinning to prepare flexible ZnO-SiO

    Abstract Decellularized meniscus extracellular matrix (dmECM)-based biological scaffolds in the forms of sponge, hydrogel, nanofiber, and composite have gained increasing interest in meniscus tissue engineering and regeneration. A common shortcoming of those scaffolds is insufficient mechanical strength and poor elasticity. Herein, we report a practicable protocol for milder meniscus decellularization to prepare elastic, porous dmECM scaffolds. Porcine meniscus was pulverized by cyclic freeze-thaw grinding and then treated with DNase to obtain fine dmECM particles. Individual dmECM particles were condensed to bulk preparation by centrifuge, followed by lyophilization to form blocks, and finally crosslinked by dehydrothermal treatment to obtain porous dmECM scaffolds. Our results show that the freeze-thaw grinding method was effective in removing cellular DNA with good retention of meniscus-derived bioactive components. The dmECM scaffold had porous structure with interconnected mesopores and good mechanical properties. Primary articular chondrocytes proliferated robustly and maintained chondrogenic characteristics and produce abundant collagen on dmECM scaffolds. Evaluation of biocompatibility in a rat model shows that the dmECM scaffold elicited minor foreign body reactions, indicating effective antigen removal from dmECM. This study provides an alternative for preparing dmECM and fabricating porous scaffolds for meniscus repair and regeneration.

    Abstract Compared with other types of hydrogels, natural derived hydrogels possess intrinsic advantages of degradability and biocompatibility. However, due to the low mechanical strength, their potential applications in biomedical areas are limited. In this study, Hofmeister effect-enhanced gelatin/oxidized dextran (Gel/O-Dex) hydrogels were designed with improved mechanical properties and biocompatibility to accelerate wound healing. Gel and O-Dex were chemically crosslinked through Schiff base reaction of aldehyde and amino groups. After soaking in kosmotrope solutions physical crosslinking domains were induced by Hofmeister effect including α-helix structures, hydrophobic interaction regions and helical junction zones among Gel molecular chains. The type of anions played different influence on the properties of hydrogels, which was consistent with the order of Hofmeister series. Particularly, H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> treated hydrogels showed enhanced mechanical strength and fatigue resistance superior to that of Gel/O-Dex hydrogels. The underlying mechanism was that the physical crosslinking domains sustained additional mechanical stress and dissipated energy through cyclic association and dissociation process. Furthermore, Hofmeister effect only induced polymer chain entanglements without triggering any chemical reaction. Due to Hofmeister effect of H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> ions, aldehyde groups were embedded in the center of entangled polymer chains that resulted in better biocompatibility. In the full-thickness skin defects of SD rats, Hofmeister effect-enhanced Gel/O-Dex hydrogels by H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> ions accelerated wound healing and exhibited better histological morphology than ordinary hydrogels. Therefore, Hofmeister effect by essential inorganic anions is a promising method of improving mechanical properties and biocompatibility of natural hydrogels to promote medical translation in the field of wound healing from bench to clinic. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Hofmeister effect enhanced hydrogel mechanical properties in accordance with the order of Hofmeister series through physical crosslinking that induced α-helix structures, hydrophobic interaction regions and helical junction zones among Gel molecular chains. Due to the Hofmeister effect of H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> ions, aldehyde groups were embedded in the center of entangled polymer chains that resulted in better biocompatibility. Hofmeister effect-enhanced Gel/O-Dex hydrogels through H<sub>2</sub>PO<sub>4</sub><sup>-</sup> ions accelerated wound healing and exhibited better histological morphology than ordinary hydrogels. Therefore, Hofmeister effect by essential inorganic anions is a promising method to improve mechanical properties and biocompatibility of natural hydrogels for their medical applications..
