Microstructured click hydrogels for cell contact guidance in 3D

Mariana I. Neves et al.

Summary: This study reports the design of microstructured alginate hydrogels for injectable cell delivery and demonstrates their ability to guide cell morphogenesis through cellular contact guidance in a 3D setting. Alginate was modified with hydrophobic cyclooctyne groups to generate self-associative amphiphilic derivatives capable of forming microstructured hydrogels. MSCs embedded in the hydrogels were able to sense and respond to the 3D topography, regulating their shape and stress fiber organization.

Inflammation-me diate d matrix remodeling of extracellular matrix-mimicking biomaterials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine

Mimi Xu et al.

Summary: Extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking biomaterials are considered effective scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. However, dysregulation of matrix remodeling can lead to various pathological conditions. This review summarizes the characteristics of inflammatory responses in matrix remodeling after transplantation of ECM-mimicking biomaterials and discusses the intrinsic linkages between matrix remodeling and tissue regeneration. Understanding host immune responses to matrix remodeling is crucial for directing effective tissue regeneration. Further studies on the effects of clinical characteristics on matrix remodeling are needed.

Current Trends in Advanced Alginate-Based Wound Dressings for Chronic Wounds

Andreea Barbu et al.

Summary: Chronic wounds pose a major public health issue with high costs globally. An ideal wound dressing should possess various characteristics such as adhesion, non-antigenicity, biocompatibility, semi-permeability, and biodegradability. This paper explores the use of biopolymer materials, specifically alginate forms, in advanced wound healing applications, focusing on hydrogels, nanofibers networks, and 3D-scaffolds.

Copper-Free Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition for Peptide Modification of Alginate Hydrogels

Era Jain et al.

Summary: Alginate, a biocompatible polymer derived from algae, is often used in tissue engineering as a synthetic version of the extracellular matrix. This study developed a copper-free, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC)-mediated method to conjugate azide-modified adhesive peptides (Az-cRGD) onto alginate, improving peptide bioactivity and enhancing osteogenesis in 3D alginate gels. This approach overcomes limitations of previous bioconjugation methods and has the potential to expand ligand possibilities for tissue engineering applications.
