The utilisation of bioartificial organs is of significant interest to many due to their versatility in treating a wide range of disorders. Microencapsulation has a potentially significant role in such organs. In order to utilise microcapsules, accurate characterisation and analysis is required to assess their properties and suitability. Bioartificial organs or transplantable microdevices must also account for immunogenic considerations, which will be discussed in detail. One of the most characterized cases is the investigation into a bioartificial pancreas, including using microencapsulation of islets or other cells, and will be the focus subject of this review. Overall, this review will discuss the traditional and modern technologies which are necessary for the characterisation of properties for transplantable microdevices or organs, summarizing analysis of the microcapsule itself, cells and finally a working organ. Furthermore, immunogenic considerations of such organs are another important aspect which is addressed within this review. The various techniques, methodologies, advantages, and disadvantages will all be discussed. Hence, the purpose of this review is providing an updated examination of all processes for the analysis of a working, biocompatible artificial organ.

Abstract Purpose of Review To describe experimental liver injury models used in regenerative medicine, cell therapy strategies to repopulate damaged livers and the efficacy of liver bioengineering. Recent Findings Several animal models have been developed to study different liver conditions. Multiple strategies and modified protocols of cell delivery have been also reported. Furthermore, using bioengineered liver scaffolds has shown promising results that could help in generating a highly functional cell delivery system and/or a whole transplantable liver. Summary To optimize the most effective strategies for liver cell therapy, further studies are required to compare among the performed strategies in the literature and/or innovate a novel modifying technique to overcome the potential limitations. Coating of cells with polymers, decellularized scaffolds, or microbeads could be the most appropriate solution to improve cellular efficacy. Besides, overcoming the problems of liver bioengineering may offer a radical treatment for end-stage liver diseases.

Cell Delivery

Background: Advances in cell therapy and material science have made tissue engineering a promising strategy for heart regeneration. We developed an injectable biomimetic reverse thermal gel (RTG) that is liquid at room temperature but gel-like at body temperature, with the ultimate goal of being able to serve as a vehicle for cell-based delivery (liquid) to targeted tissue areas (gel-phase at 37°C). In this study we tested the suitability of this biomimetic RTG on cell viability. Methods and results: We tested different biomimetic RTG systems with and without the chemical incorporation of lysine. In vitro 3D culture experiments were performed with neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM) by mixing 3x104 cells with 50 μl of polymeric solution and allowing gel formation at 37°C. The cultured cells were incubated for 21 days. For controls we used NRVMs plated on 2D traditional gelatin coated dishes. We found that the 3D polymeric matrix induces rapid coordinated contraction with improved functionality when compared with standard 2D-cultured NRVM. By immunostaining for the morphology of the sarcomere (alpha-actinin) and DAPI, we also observed that the 3D polymeric matrix stimulates cells to spread and form 3D syncytia. Conclusion: These proof-of-concept results demonstrate long-term cell viability in this unique biomimetic system and therefore provide feasibility of a polymeric cell delivery system that permits reversible liquid-to-gel transition at body temperature. These results offer potential for a tissue engineering approach to cardiac regeneration.

Limiting Factor

In tissue engineering protocols, the survival of transplanted stem cells is a limiting factor that could be overcome using a cell delivery matrix able to support cell proliferation and differentiation. With this aim, we studied the cell-friendly and biocompatible behavior of RKKP glass-ceramic coated Titanium (Ti) surface seeded with human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs) from placenta. The sol-gel synthesis procedure was used to prepare the RKKP glass-ceramic material, which was then deposited onto the Ti surface by Pulsed Laser Deposition method. The cell metabolic activity and proliferation rate, the cytoskeletal actin organization, and the cell cycle phase distribution in hAMSCs seeded on the RKKP coated Ti surface revealed no significant differences when compared to the cells grown on the treated plastic Petri dish. The health of of hAMSCs was also analysed studying the mRNA expressions of MSC key genes and the osteogenic commitment capability using qRT-PCR analysis which resulted in being unchanged in both substrates. In this study, the combination of the hAMSCs’ properties together with the bioactive characteristics of RKKP glass-ceramics was investigated and the results obtained indicate its possible use as a new and interesting cell delivery system for bone tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications.
