Natural polymeric nanobiocomposites hold promise in repairing damaged bone tissue in tissue engineering. These materials create an extracellular matrix (ECM)-like microenvironment that induces stem cell differentiation. In this study, we investigated a new cytocompatible nanobiocomposite made from cotton cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) combined with chitosan polymer to induce osteogenic stem cell differentiation. First, we characterized the chemical composition, nanotopography, swelling properties, and mechanical properties of the cotton CNF/chitosan nanobiocomposite scaffold. Then, we examined the biological characteristics of the nanocomposites to evaluate their cytocompatibility and osteogenic differentiation potential using human mesenchymal stem cells derived from exfoliated deciduous teeth. The results showed that the nanobiocomposite exhibited favorable cytocompatibility and promoted osteogenic differentiation of cells without the need for chemical inducers, as demonstrated by the increase in alkaline phosphatase activity and ECM mineralization. Therefore, the cotton CNF/chitosan nanobiocomposite scaffold holds great promise for bone tissue engineering applications.

Article Synopsis
- Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a widely used material in dental and orthopedic fields due to its compatibility with biological tissues and its ability to mimic bone properties, making it a popular choice for bone-graft substitutes.
- This study specifically explored the use of HA derived from goat bones and teeth, utilizing thermal calcination, and assessed its potential for commercial use through various chemical characterization techniques and biocompatibility tests with different cell lines.
- While HA derived from sheep, goat, and caprine sources shows promise in applications such as antimicrobial activity and wound healing, more research is needed to fully harness these materials for bone graft substitutes and tap into sustainable production methods.
Fabrication and characteristics of new quaternized chitosan nanocapsules loaded with thymol or thyme essential oil as effective SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors.

This research explores the potential of encapsulating thyme essential oil (TEO) and thymol (TH) into quaternized chitosan nanocapsules to combat SARS-CoV-2. Initially, the bioactive materials, TH and TEO, were extracted from and then structurally and phytochemically characterized by spectral and GC-MS analyses. Meanwhile, -quaternized ultrasonic-mediated deacetylated chitosan (QUCS) was successfully synthesized and characterized.

The advancement of nanobiocomposites reinforced with 2D nano-materials plays a pivotal role in enhancing bone tissue engineering. In this study, we introduce a nanobiocomposite that reinforces bovine collagen with 2D nano-talc, a recently exfoliated nano-mineral. These nanobiocomposites were prepared by blending collagen with varying concentrations of 2D nano-talc, encompassing mono- and few-layers talc from soapstone nanomaterial.

This study involves the development of a new nanocomposite material for use in biological applications. The nanocomposite was based on tragacanth hydrogel (TG), which was formed through cross-linking of Ca ions with TG polymer chains. The utilization of TG hydrogel and silk fibroin as natural compounds has enhanced the biocompatibility, biodegradability, adhesion, and cell growth properties of the nanobiocomposite.
