Tremendous progress in stem cell biology has resulted in a major current focus on effective modalities to promote directed cellular behavior for clinical therapy. The fundamental principles of tissue engineering are aimed at providing soluble and insoluble biological cues to promote these directed biological responses. Better understanding of extracellular matrix functions is ensuring optimal adhesive substrates to promote cell mobility and a suitable physical niche to direct stem cell responses. Further, appreciation of the roles of matrix constituents as morphogen cues, termed matrikines or matricryptins, are also now being directly exploited in biomaterial design. These insoluble topological cues can be presented at both micro- and nanoscales with specific fabrication techniques. Progress in development and molecular biology has described key roles for a range of biological molecules, such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids, to serve as morphogens promoting directed behavior in stem cells. Controlled-release systems involving encapsulation of bioactive agents within polymeric carriers are enabling utilization of soluble cues. Using our efforts at dental craniofacial tissue engineering, this narrative review focuses on outlining specific biomaterial fabrication techniques, such as electrospinning, gas foaming, and 3D printing used in combination with polymeric nano- or microspheres. These avenues are providing unprecedented therapeutic opportunities for precision bioengineering for regenerative applications.

Smart conductive materials are developed in regenerative medicine to promote a controlled release profile of charged bioactive agents in the vicinity of implants. The incorporation and the active electrochemical release of the charged compounds into the organic conductive coating is achieved due to its intrinsic electrical properties. The anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone was added during the polymerization, and its subsequent release at therapeutic doses was reached by electrical stimulation. In this work, a Poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): κ-carrageenan: dexamethasone film was prepared, and κ-carrageenan was incorporated to keep the electrochemical and physical stability of the electroactive matrix. The presence of κ-carrageenan and dexamethasone in the conductive film was confirmed by µ-Raman spectroscopy and their effect in the topographic was studied using profilometry. The dexamethasone release process was evaluated by cyclic voltammetry and High-Resolution mass spectrometry. In conclusion, κ-carrageenan as a doping agent improves the electrical properties of the conductive layer allowing the release of dexamethasone at therapeutic levels by electrochemical stimulation, providing a stable system to be used in organic bioelectronics systems.

The matrixes for the controlled release system have been prepared by blending polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and the reworked granules of recycled polypropylene (PP) with EVA as a compatibilizer on a single screw extruder. The changes of microphase (crystalline) structure and macrophase structure of the PP/PVA blends were investigated by the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The controlled release formulation (CRF) of Bensulfuron-methyl based on the blends was prepared by means of melt-extrusion, and the release behaviors of bioactive agents were investigated in the different pH buffers with UV spectrophotometer. To a certain extent, the PP/PVA blends showed the components compatibility. The results also showed that there was gradual decrease in the crystallinity of PP with increasing PVA content. The bensulfuron-methyl CRFs exhibited the obviously controlled-release function. The release rate of bensulfuron-methyl was found to be faster in the neutral media than in acidic or basic media. The pesticide CRFs could have an important potential in reducing inefficient use and impact of pesticides in the environment. Moreover, a novel method was provided for recycling and utilizing PP wasters.
