Background Tissue engineering of hair follicles (HFs) has enormous potential for hair loss treatment. However, certain challenges remain, including weakening of the dermal papilla cell (DPC) viability, proliferation, and HF inducibility, as well as the associated inefficient and tedious preparation process required to generate extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking substrates for biomolecules or cells. Herein, we utilized gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and chitosan hydrogels to prepare scalable, monodispersed, and diameter-controllable interpenetrating network GelMA/chitosan-microcarriers (IGMs) loaded with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and seeded with DPCs, on a high-throughput microfluidic chip. Results The ECM-mimicking hydrogels used for IGMs exhibited surface nano-topography and high porosity. Mass production of IGMs with distinct and precise diameters was achieved by adjusting the oil and aqueous phase flow rate ratio. Moreover, IGMs exhibited appropriate swelling and sustained growth factor release to facilitate a relatively long hair growth phase. DPCs seeded on PRP-loaded IGMs exhibited good viability (> 90%), adhesion, spreading, and proliferative properties (1.2-fold greater than control group). Importantly, PRP-loaded IGMs presented a higher hair inducibility of DPCs in vitro compared to the control and IGMs group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, DPC/PRP-laden IGMs were effectively mixed with epidermal cell (EPC)-laden GelMA to form a PRP-loaded DPC/EPC co-cultured hydrogel system (DECHS), which was subcutaneously injected into the hypodermis of nude mice. The PRP-loaded DECHS generated significantly more HFs (~ 35 per site) and novel vessels (~ 12 per site) than the other groups (p < 0.05 for each). Conclusion Taken together, these results illustrate that, based on high-throughput microfluidics, we obtained scalable and controllable production of ECM-mimicking IGMs and DECHS, which simulate an effective micro- and macro-environment to promote DPC bioactivity and hair regeneration, thus representing a potential new strategy for HF tissue engineering.

The organism Sipunculus nudus L is a good resource for marine peptides because of its rich protein. However, the disadvantage of biological peptides is their short metabolic half-life, therefore, structural modification of peptides is necessary. In this research, the enzymatic hydrolysis of Sipunculus nudus L was performed using trypsin and then peptides were isolated and purified from the hydrolysates, four novel tripeptides were identified by LC-MS-MS as Ser-Arg-Pro (SRP, m/z = 358.39), Pro-Arg-Pro (PRP, m/z = 368.43), Arg-Pro-Ala (RPA, m/z = 342.39), and Lue-Pro-Lys (LPK, m/z = 356.46), their ACE inhibitory activity was investigated with IC 50 value as following 0.046, 0.42, 0.97, and 6.54 mM, respectively. Because of its highest ACE inhibitory activity, SRP was further selected to modify the chemical structure for a sustained release agent DSPE-PEG-SRP. Compared with 7 h of free SRP, the release of DSPE-PEG-SRP in vitro was approximately 120 h. The ACE inhibition rate of SRP released from the synthetic product and the raw material SRP was almost the same, molecular docking demonstrated that ACE inhibitory activity was attributed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between SRP and ACE active sites . In conclusion, DSPE-PEG-SRP, a novel sustained release agent, has great potential and is expected to be further applied to treat hypertension.

The skin is the immune system's first line of defense. Extensive skin burns can lead to tissue necrosis, sepsis, and even death. Anti-infectious care of burn wounds is a major challenge in clinical medicine. However, the extensive use of antibiotics led to the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria and silver dressings with antibacterial effects are also cytotoxic. We used the natural cationic antibacterial agent ε-polylysine (EPL) to graft Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to synthesize EPL-EGCG. Then, we used methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) with arginine-glycine-aspartate-rich acid (RGD) sequence and EPL-EGCG form interpenetrating polymer network hydrogels with excellent swelling properties. The hydrogel's inherent antibacterial properties and photo-cross-linking properties can cover irregular burn wounds and isolate bacteria to prevent infection. In addition, we used polydopamine (PDA) to coat GelMA microspheres with excellent hemostatic efficacy and load platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance the hemostatic efficacy of the microspheres and impart inflammation-regulating functions. The hydrogel showed excellent hemostatic efficacy in rat liver injury and tail vein injury models. In the rat infected burn model, the hydrogel exhibited favorable antimicrobial, pro-angiogenic, and anti-inflammatory phenotype polarization of macrophages. Our study shows that GelMA/EPL-EGCG/GM-PDA@PRP hydrogel application has excellent antibacterial, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects, providing a new treatment strategy for wound care before burn skin grafting.

In view of the importance of quantification of beta-amyloid (Aβ), an “aptamer -target- peptide” sandwich electrochemical biosensor to assay Aβ42 was fabricated by using gold–palladium bimetallic nanoparticles covalent organic framework-carbon cloth (Au–Pd@COF TTF-Thi -CC) and prion protein (PrP C ) labeled with horseradish peroxidase (HRP) nanocomposites. The concentration of Aβ42 showed a positive correlation with the peak current resulting from the oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ) by HRP. In contrast, the reference current signal from thionin (Thi), derived from covalent organic framework (COF), showed a negative correlation. The current response of the electrochemical biosensor was proportional to the Aβ concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 2.5 nM with a detection limit (LOD) of 2.17 fM ( S / N = 3). The sensitivity of the sandwich electrochemical biosensor could be primarily amplified based on the substrates of Au–Pd@COF TTF-Thi -CC. The AuNPs and PdNPs not only facilitated the bonding of the linker based on the Au–S bond but also improved the performance of COF TTF-Thi -CC. Secondary sensitivity amplification of the biosensor could be achieved by using PrP C -labeled HRP to catalyze hydroquinone in solution. Furthermore, the biosensor showed excellent selectivity, anti-interference performance, and stability. The Aβ concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were successfully evaluated using the constructed biosensor. This assay provides a potential tool for early-stage Alzheimer's disease diagnosis.

Slow wound healing caused by bacterial infection is a critical clinical challenge. Moreover, finding common preservatives that fulfill current medical requirements has proved difficult. Therefore, we designed a multifunctional wound dressing based on the hydrogen-bonded assembly of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB)/platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The hydrogels were prepared by a simple and environmentally friendly procedure by repeated freeze–thaw cycles without a chemical crosslinking agent. Characterization studies revealed the outstanding stability of these composite hydrogels. Bacteriostatic ring experiments revealed that the PHMB-containing hydrogel possessed strong antibacterial effects. The hydrogel with PRP showed low cytotoxicity and significantly stimulated the proliferation of L929 fibroblasts, according to live/dead cell staining and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)− 5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)− 2-(4-sulfophenyl)− 2 H-tetrazolium (MTS) testing results. The PVA/PHMB/PRP composite dressing reduced inflammatory response, promoted epithelization , enhanced collagen production and vascular regeneration, and restored skin appendages in vivo. These results indicate that the PVA/PHMB/PRP wound dressing is a promising biological material with synergistic antibacterial and wound-healing functions.

Injectable hydrogels effectively remodel degenerative nucleus pulposus (NP) with a resemblance to the in vivo microenvironment. However, the pressure within the intervertebral disc requires load-bearing implants. The hydrogel must undergo a rapid phase transition upon injection to avoid leakage. In this study, an injectable sodium alginate hydrogel was reinforced with silk fibroin nanofibers with core-shell structures. The nanofiber-embedded hydrogel provided support to adjacent tissues and facilitated cell proliferation . Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was incorporated into the core-shell nanofibers for sustained release and enhanced NP regeneration. The composite hydrogel exhibited excellent compressive strength and enabled leak-proof delivery of PRP. In rat intervertebral disc degeneration models, radiography and MRI signal intensities were significantly reduced after 8 weeks of injections with the nanofiber-reinforced hydrogel. The biomimetic fiber gel-like structure was constructed in situ , providing mechanical support for NP repair, promoting the reconstruction of the tissue microenvironment, and finally realizing the regeneration of NP.
