Magnetic silk fibroin protein (SFP) scaffolds integrating magnetic materials and featuring magnetic gradients were prepared for potential utility in magnetic-field assisted tissue engineering. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were introduced into SFP scaffolds via dip-coating methods, resulting in magnetic SFP scaffolds with different strengths of magnetization. Magnetic SFP scaffolds showed excellent hyperthermia properties achieving temperature increases up to 8 °C in about 100 s. The scaffolds were not toxic to osteogenic cells and improved cell adhesion and proliferation. These findings suggest that tailored magnetized silk-based biomaterials can be engineered with interesting features for biomaterials and tissue-engineering applications.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the creation of poly(vinyl alcohol)/silk fibroin particle hydrogel scaffolds by incorporating various amounts of compound calcium phosphate using a freeze-thaw technique.
- Results indicate that adding calcium phosphate reduces the hydrogel's porosity and swelling capacity while enhancing its mechanical strength and degradation rate.
- Among the different compositions tested, the hydrogel with 8% calcium phosphate shows the best performance in terms of cell attachment, growth, and osteogenic activity, suggesting its potential as a suitable material for bone tissue engineering.

Sphene is an innovative bone graft material. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the physicochemical and biological properties of Bio-Oss® (BO) and in-lab synthesized and processed sphene granules. BO granules of 1000-2000 μm (BO-L), 250-1000 μm (BO-S) and 100-200 μm (BO-p) for derived granules, and corresponding groups of sphene granules obtained from 3D printed blocks (SB-L, SB-S, SB-p) and foams (SF-L, SF-S and SF-p) were investigated.

Developmental selection of neurons and synapses so as to maximize pulse synchrony has recently been used to explain antenatal cortical development. Consequences of the same selection process-an application of the Free Energy Principle-are here followed into the postnatal phase in V1, and the implications for cognitive function are considered. Structured inputs transformed lag relay in superficial patch connections lead to the generation of circumferential synaptic connectivity superimposed upon the antenatal, radial, "like-to-like" connectivity surrounding each singularity.

Incorporation of biogenic or biocompatible synthetic polymers with inorganic mineral components have been suggested for the preparation of more bioactive materials. However, when two different inorganic minerals such as Ca- and Si-based minerals are introduced onto organic polymers, each mineral is deposited in a segregated form. Here, we presented a biomolecule-mediated preparation method for dual mineral-deposited polymer, in which two inorganic minerals were well-deposited on organic polymer with the aid of biological molecules.

Artificial multiprotein complexes are sought after reagents for biomolecular engineering. A current limiting factor is the paucity of molecular scaffolds which allow for site-specific multicomponent assembly. Here, we address this limitation by synthesizing bioorthogonal elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) scaffolds containing periodic noncanonical l-azidohomoalanine amino acids in the guest residue position.
