    Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of mortality globally, with myocardial infarction representing one of the most prevalent and severe condition greater than even cancer. Current medical approaches are generally based on preventing and treating various post-infarction complications, failing to restore functional myocardial tissue. In this context, recent advances in the field of tissue engineering have been explored in an attempt to provide successful strategies for myocardial infarction repair, in addition to a multitude of other pathologies affecting the cardiovascular system. Biomaterials represent an essential component in developing innovative treatments such as tissue substitutes, drug/cell delivery vehicles, and prosthetic solutions, potentially avoiding invasive surgical procedures or, ultimately, transplantation. This review presents the various biomaterials that have found application in the last 10 years in the development of tissue engineering-based solutions for myocardial infarction repair. The discussion covers thermoplastic and elastomeric polymers, hydrogels, hybrid and smart material systems, and highlights their distinctive properties and the specific biological requirements they are able to meet. Additionally, recent applications in clinical trials are reviewed, describing their potential for clinical translation. This comprehensive overview aims to support researchers in selecting the most adequate biomaterial for myocardial infarction application. • A comprehensive overview of the materials employed to develop tissue engineering-based treatments for cardiovascular diseases is presented. • The various types of materials are introduced, spanning from thermoplastic/elastomeric polymers to hydrogels, hybrids, and smart systems, with a focus on their properties and functionalities. • An overview of research studies from the past decade is presented, highlighting how the materials' specific properties drive their biological application and influence their therapeutic outcomes. • Recent clinical applications and ongoing trials are examined, underlying their potential for clinical translation in cardiovascular treatments.

    It has been reported that cells need a more physiologically relevant micro‐environment that allows them to maintain their phenotype. When cultured on 2D tissue culture plates, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) lose their differentiation capacity and clinical potential. Here, we developed a 3D alginate hydrogel functionalized with the Arg‐Gly‐Asp (RGD) sequence and having mechanical stiffness mimicking the mechanical properties (<5 kPa) of bone marrow. hMSCs cultured in these hydrogels were halted in G 1 phase of the cell cycle and non‐proliferative, as shown by flow cytometry and 5‐Ethynyl‐2'‐deoxyuridine (EdU) staining, respectively. Their quiescent state was characterized by an upregulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 1 (EZH1) at the gene level, forkhead box O3 (FoxO3) and cyclin‐dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (p27) at the gene and protein levels compared to hMSCs grown in 2D. Studies in 3D hydrogels of collagen or alginate‐RGD hydrogels presenting a higher concentration of the peptide revealed that, independently of the concentration of RGD or the chemistry of the adhesion motives, hMSCs cultured in 3D presented a similar phenotype. This phenotype was exclusive to 3D cultures. In 2D, even when cells were serum‐deprived and became non‐proliferative, the expression of these markers was not observed. We propose that this difference may be the result of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) being downregulated in hMSCs cultured in 3D hydrogels, which induces cells in “deep” quiescence. Our results represent a step forward towards understanding hMSCs quiescence and its molecular pathways, providing more insight for hMSCs cell therapies.

    Our research focuses on utilising decellularised extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived hydrogels to develop implants for repairing skeletal muscle defects. We investigate whether applying mechanical stimuli during the hydrogel reticulation phase enhances its biomechanical properties, aiming to achieve surface stiffness values closer to those of physiological tissue compared to conventional chemical cross-linking methods. The ECM-derived hydrogel is prepared and characterised in terms of surface stiffness and gelation kinetics. Before polymerisation, the ECM-derived solution is embedded with myogenic cells, and the final constructs are then obtained through a temperature-induced self-assembling mechanism. Two different modifications are alternatively added: genipin, a natural cross-linker, and a nearly-uniaxial mechanical strain using an in-house developed bioreactor. Both modifications of the ECM-derived hydrogel result in a two-fold increase in surface stiffness compared to the self-assembled samples. However, only the mechanical stimulus promotes the alignment of ECM components, which may facilitate the subsequent orientation of skeletal muscle cells and leads to a significant increase in cell proliferation after 5 days of culture. These findings indicate that mechanical stimulation functions as a physical cross-linker, positively affecting both the biomechanical properties of ECM-derived hydrogels and the subsequent behaviour of incorporated cells.
  • Melt-Extrusion Additive Manufacturing for Tissue Engineering: Applications and Limitations
    Andrea Roberto Calore, Carlos Mota, Katrien Bernaerts, Jules Harings, Lorenzo Moroni
    3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing, 2025
    The application of additive manufacturing techniques has increased over the years in almost all production fields, thanks to the possibility of creating objects from scratch and with the desired shape, with no need for molds or complex machinery typical of subtractive manufacturing. This success has concerned the biomedical world as well, where melt-based methods represent the golden standard to produce scaffolds for hard-tissue engineering. Despite the large number of studies present in the literature on scaffold production, the fabrication process is still affected by drawbacks and limitations, which hinders the standardization and upscaling to the industrial level. In this review, we briefly present the history of additive manufacturing and the reasons of its success, with particular reference to the tissue engineering and regenerative medicine world. We then proceed to highlight the current factors limiting the straightforwardness of the production process and affecting the quality and the performance of the manufactured scaffolds. Eventually, we suggest potential strategies to increase the level of control during manufacturing and to improve the biomimicry of the fabricated constructs, with the goal of obtaining a more optimal workflow.
  • Extrusion 3D printing of a multiphase collagen-based material: An optimized strategy to obtain biomimetic scaffolds with high shape fidelity
    Giorgia Montalbano, Andrea Roberto Calore, Chiara Vitale‐Brovarone
    Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2023
    Extrusion printing represents one of the leading additive manufacturing techniques for tissue engineering purposes due to the possibility of achieving accurate control of the final shape and porosity of the scaffold. Despite many polymeric materials having already been optimized for this application, the processing of biopolymer‐based systems still presents several limitations mainly ascribed to their poor rheological properties. Moreover, the introduction of inorganic components into the biomaterial formulation may introduce further difficulties related to system homogeneity, finally compromising its extrudability. In this context, the present study aimed at developing a new multi‐phase biomaterial ink able to mimic the native composition of bone extracellular matrix, combining type‐I‐collagen with nano‐hydroxyapatite and mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles. Starting from a comprehensive rheological assessment, computational‐fluid‐dynamics‐based models were exploited to describe the material flow regime and define the optimal printing process planning. During printing, a gelatin‐based bath was exploited to support the deposition of the material, while the gelation of collagen and its further chemical crosslinking with genipin enabled the stabilization of the printed structure, characterized by high shape fidelity. The developed strategy enables the extrusion printing of complex multi‐phase systems and the design of high‐precision biomimetic scaffolds with great potential for bone tissue engineering.

    Manufacturing of three-dimensional scaffolds with multiple levels of porosity are an advantage in tissue regeneration approaches to influence cell behavior. Three-dimensional scaffolds with surface roughness and intra-filament open porosity were successfully fabricated by additive manufacturing combined with chemical foaming and porogen leaching without the need of toxic solvents. The decomposition of sodium citrate, a chemical blowing agent, generated pores within the scaffold filaments, which were interconnected and opened to the external environment by leaching of a water-soluble sacrificial phase, as confirmed by micro-CT and buoyancy measurements. The additional porosity did not result in lower elastic modulus, but in higher strain at maximum load, i.e. scaffold ductility. Human mesenchymal stromal cells cultured for 24 h adhered in greater numbers on these scaffolds when compared to plain additive-manufactured ones, irrespectively of the scaffold pre-treatment method. Additionally, they showed a more spread and random morphology, which is known to influence cell fate. Cells cultured for a longer period exhibited enhanced metabolic activity while secreting higher osteogenic markers after 7 days in culture. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Inspired by the function of hierarchical cellular structures in natural materials, this work elucidates the development of scaffolds with multiscale porosity by combining in-situ foaming and additive manufacturing, and successive porogen leaching. The resulting scaffolds displayed enhanced mechanical toughness and multiscale pore network interconnectivity, combined with early differentiation of adult mesenchymal stromal cells into the osteogenic lineage.
  • Cholecalciferol as Bioactive Plasticizer of High Molecular Weight Poly(D,L-Lactic Acid) Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration

    Synthetic thermoplastic polymers are a widespread choice as material candidates for scaffolds for tissue engineering (TE), thanks to their ease of processing and tunable properties with respect to biological polymers. These features made them largely employed in melt-extrusion based additive manufacturing (AM), with particular application in hard-tissue engineering. In this field, high molecular weight (Mw) polymers ensuring entanglement network strength are often favorable candidates as scaffold materials because of their enhanced mechanical properties compared to lower Mw grades. However, this is accompanied by high viscosities once processed in molten conditions, which requires driving forces not always accessible technically or compatible with often chemically non-stabilized biomedical grades. When possible, this is circumvented by increasing the operating temperature, which often results in polymer chain scission and consequent degradation of properties. Additionally, synthetic polymers are mostly considered bioinert compared to biological materials and additional processing steps are often required to make them favorable for tissue regeneration. In this study, we report the plasticization of a common thermoplastic polymer with cholecalciferol, the metabolically inactive form of vitamin D3. Plasticization of the polymer allowed us to reduce its melt viscosity, and therefore the energy requirements (mechanical (torque) and heat (temperature)) for extrusion, limiting ultimately polymer degradation. Additionally, we evaluated the effect of cholecalciferol, which is more easily available than its active counterpart, on the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs). Results indicated that cholecalciferol supported osteogenic differentiation more than the osteogenic culture medium, suggesting that hMSCs possess the enzymatic toolbox for Vitamin D3 (VD3) metabolism.
  • Additive Manufacturing of α-Amino Acid Based Poly(ester amide)s for Biomedical Applications
    Vahid Ansari, Andrea Calore, Jip Zonderland, Jules A. W. Harings, Lorenzo Moroni, Katrien V. Bernaerts
    Biomacromolecules, 2022
    α-Amino acid based polyester amides (PEAs) are promising candidates for additive manufacturing (AM), as they unite the flexibility and degradability of polyesters and good thermomechanical properties of polyamides in one structure. Introducing α-amino acids in the PEA structure brings additional advantages such as (i) good cytocompatibility and biodegradability, (ii) providing strong amide bonds, enhancing the hydrogen-bonding network, (iii) the introduction of pendant reactive functional groups, and (iv) providing good cell–polymer interactions. However, the application of α-amino acid based PEAs for AM via fused deposition modeling (FDM), an important manufacturing technique with unique processing characteristics and requirements, is still lacking. With the aim to exploit the combination of these advantages in the creation, design, and function of additively manufactured scaffolds using FDM, we report the structure–function relationship of a series of α-amino acid based PEAs. The PEAs with three different molecular weights were synthesized via the active solution polycondensation, and their performance for AM applications was studied in comparison with a commercial biomedical grade copolymer of l-lactide and glycolide (PLGA). The PEAs, in addition to good thermal stability, showed semicrystalline behavior with proper mechanical properties, which were different depending on their molecular weight and crystallinity. They showed more ductility due to their lower glass transition temperature (Tg; 18–20 °C) compared with PLGA (57 °C). The rheology studies revealed that the end-capping of PEAs is of high importance for preventing cross-linking and further polymerization during the melt extrusion and for the steadiness and reproducibility of FDM. Furthermore, our data regarding the steady 3D printing performance, good polymer–cell interactions, and low cytotoxicity suggest that α-amino acid based PEAs can be introduced as favorable polymers for future AM applications in tissue engineering. In addition, their ability for formation of bonelike apatite in the simulated body fluid (SBF) indicates their potential for bone tissue engineering applications.
  • Shaping and properties of thermoplastic scaffolds in tissue regeneration: The effect of thermal history on polymer crystallization, surface characteristics and cell fate

    Thermoplastic semi-crystalline polymers are excellent candidates for tissue engineering scaffolds thanks to facile processing and tunable properties, employed in melt-based additive manufacturing. Control of crystallization and ultimate crystallinity during processing affect properties like surface stiffness and roughness. These in turn influence cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation. Surface stiffness and roughness are intertwined via crystallinity, but never studied independently. The targeted stiffness range is besides difficult to realize for a single thermoplastic. Via correlation of thermal history, crystallization and ultimate crystallinity of vitamin E plasticized poly(lactide), surface stiffness and roughness are decoupled, disclosing a range of surface mechanics of biological interest. In osteogenic environment, human mesenchymal stromal cells were more responsive to surface roughness than to surface stiffness. Cells were particularly influenced by overall crystal size distribution, not by average roughness. Absence of mold-imposed boundary constrains makes additive manufacturing ideal to spatially control crystallization and henceforward surface roughness of semi-crystalline thermoplastics.

  • Additive Manufactured Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: Physical Characterization of Thermoplastic Composites with Functional Fillers

    ') for the studied composites, at empirically determined extrusion temperatures. Coupled rheological-thermal characterization of ZrP-GTM and HA composites showed that the fillers increased the solidification temperatures of the polymer melts during cooling. Both these findings have implications for the required extrusion temperatures and bonding between layers. Mechanical tests showed that the fillers generally not only made the polymer stiffer but more brittle in proportion to the filler fractions. Furthermore, the elastic moduli of scaffolds did not directly correlate with the corresponding bulk material properties, implying composite-specific AM processing effects on the mechanical properties. Finally, we show computational models to predict multimaterial scaffold elastic moduli using measured single material scaffold and bulk moduli. The reported characterizations are essential for assessing the AM processability and ultimately the suitability of the manufactured scaffolds for the envisioned bone regeneration application.
