Background: Applying multifunctional coatings employing strontium (Sr) ions on titanium (Ti) surfaces is a useful and biocompatible method to improve osseointegration and prevent tissue infections through antimicrobial activity. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of Sr coating on the adhesion and viability of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) to Ti surfaces remains unclear.
Purpose: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of Sr coating on the adhesion and viability of HGFs to Ti surfaces.
Materials And Methods: The Ti wafers were divided into two groups based on Sr coating: uncoated Ti (control) and Sr-coated Ti. The Magnetron sputtering technique was used for Sr coating on Ti surfaces. The HGFs were seeded onto the surfaces and cultured for 48 and 96 hours before the cell adhesion and viability of the attached HGFs were assessed. The adhesion of HGFs was analyzed using the attached cell numbers at 48 h and 96 h, and the morphology at 24 h and 72 h. The cytotoxic effect on HGFs was assessed after 24 and 72 hours of incubation using cell viability assay. Student's -test was used for statistical analysis.
Results: The number of cells attached to Sr-coated surfaces was significantly greater than those attached to uncoated Ti surfaces after 48 hours (P<0.0001) and 96 hours (P=0.0002). Sr-coated and uncoated Ti surfaces were not cytotoxic to HGFs, with the cell viability ranging from 92% to 105% of the untreated control HGFs. There were no significant differences in cell viability between Sr-coated and uncoated Ti surfaces at 24 hours (P=0.3675) and 72 hours (P=0.0982).
Conclusion: Sr-coated Ti surfaces induce adhesion of HGFs compared to uncoated Ti surfaces. Further, Sr-coated and uncoated Ti surfaces show no cytotoxic effect on the attached HGFs.

Hydrogels possessing appropriate adhesion and antibacterial properties have emerged as promising dressings for expediting wound healing, while also providing the convenience of visualizing the wound site to accurately monitor the healing process. In this study, we incorporated oxidized and degraded polydopamine nanoparticles into quaternized chitosan/oxidized dextran hydrogel QOP series, resulting in enhanced transmittance exceeding 95 % and adhesion strengths reaching up to 19.4 kPa.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have made significant breakthroughs in creating complex three-dimensional (3D) constructs that mimic human tissues. This progress is largely driven by the development of hydrogels, which enable the precise arrangement of biomaterials and cells to form structures resembling native tissues. Gelatin-based bioinks are widely used in wound healing due to their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and ability to accelerate extracellular matrix formation.

Neo-vascularization plays a key role in achieving long-term viability of engineered cells contained in medical implants used in precision medicine. Moreover, strategies to promote neo-vascularization around medical implants may also be useful to promote the healing of deep wounds. In this context, a biocompatible, electroconductive borophene-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) 3D platform is developed, which is called VOLT, to support designer cells engineered with a direct-current (DC) voltage-controlled gene circuit that drives secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA).

This study provides a comprehensive investigation of antimicrobial additives (ZnO/AgNPs and SiO/AgNPs) on the properties of biodegradable ternary blends composed of poly(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(lactic acid) (PLA), and polycaprolactone (PCL) by examining the morphology, thermal stability, crystallinity index, and cell viability of these blends. Overall, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that AgNPs and SiO exhibited comparable sizes, whereas ZnO was significantly larger, which influences their release profiles and interactions with the blends. The addition of antimicrobials influences the rheology of the blends, acting as compatibilizers by reducing the intermolecular forces between biopolymers.
