Published: January 2025

Recent advancements in tumor therapy have underscored the potential of biomaterials-mediated biomineralization for tumor blockade. By precisely regulating biomineralization and constructing nanomineralized structures at the cellular level, this therapy achieves multi-dimensional targeted inhibition of tumors. Mineralized precursor molecules are engineered to selectively recognize and bind to proteins on the tumor cell membrane, obstructing signal transduction. Biomineralized materials directly target the tumor cell membrane, disrupting its biological functions and inducing cell apoptosis. Additionally, these materials infiltrate the mitochondria of tumor cells, disrupting energy metabolism through mineralization and significantly impairing tumor viability. This biomaterials-mediated approach enhances treatment precision and efficacy while mitigating side effects, offering a unique approach to tumor therapy.

Tissue engineering aims to repair, restore, and/or replace tissues in the human body as an alternative to grafts and prostheses. Biomaterial scaffolds can be utilized to provide a three-dimensional microenvironment to facilitate tissue regeneration. Previously, we reported that scaffold pore size influences vascularization and extracellular matrix composition both in vivo and in vitro, to ultimately influence tissue phenotype for regenerating cranial suture and bone tissues, which have markedly different tissue properties despite similar multipotent stem cell populations.

Although studies have shown that biomaterials and mechanical stimuli can mediate inflammatory responses or regulate osteogenesis of MSCs, the underlying behaviour of the inflammatory response of macrophages on biomaterials mediated by mechanical stimuli, which regulates osteogenesis, is relatively unknown. Thus, it is imperative to explore the role of bionic mechanical stimulation in the biomaterial-mediated inflammatory response of macrophages. In this study, we used osteoinductive biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics as the model biomaterial and chose micro-vibration stimulation (MVs) with three variable parameters (frequency, magnitude, and time).

Bony injuries lead to compromised skeletal functional ability which further increase in aging population due to decreased bone mineral density. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of platelet-derived biomaterials (PDB) against bone injury. Specifically, we assessed the impact of PDB on osteo-inductive characteristics and migration of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs).

Silk Biomaterials-Mediated miRNA Functionalized Orthopedic Devices.

Tissue Eng Part A

January 2019

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts.

Silk-based bioresorbable medical devices, such as screws, plates, and rods, have been under investigation due to their promising properties for orthopedic repairs. Options to functionalize these new devices for enhanced control of bone regeneration would also exploit the compatible processing methods used to generate the devices. MicroRNAs are important regulators of bone maintenance and formation, and miRNA-based therapeutics have the potential to aid bone repair, utilizing a transient therapeutic approach with local bioactivity.
