    Abstract: Described are nanogels suitable for scaffolds for encapsulating human dermal fibroblasts for non-healing chronic wounds. Peptide nanogels Ac-IVZK-NH2 and Ac-IVFK-NH2 are selected and produce silver nanoparticles in situ within the nanogels to assess their efficacy on micropigs with full-thickness excision wounds. The in situ generation of the silver nanoparticles is done solely through UV irradiation and no reducing agent is used. Application of the peptide nanogels on full thickness micropig wounds demonstrate that the scaffolds are biocompatible and do not trigger wound inflammation. This suggests that scaffolds are safe for topical application. A comparison of the effect of both nanogels even without the addition of the silver nanoparticles, reveals that the scaffold itself has a high potential as an antibacterial agent, which may suppress both the inflammatory reaction and the activity of proteases. The effect on wound closure of the peptide nanogels is comparable to standard care hydrogels.

    Abstract: Newly developed peptide nanogels provide native cues to human dermal fibroblasts as well as mouse myoblast cells and promote proliferation and extensive network formation in vitro is presented. The results represent an improvement in the fabrication of dermal grafts as well as 3D skin models. In addition, the application of these ultrashort peptide nanogels on full-thickness wounds in a minipig model demonstrated biocompatibility with the minipig skin tissue, as the peptide nanogels did not trigger wound inflammation. Thus, they can be considered as a safe biomaterial for topical applications. It is shown that both peptides are printable. The ability to print peptides and the return of high cell viability within the printed construct will open up the possibility of 3D bioprinting of different cell types in future.

    Abstract: A modified approach for coral restoration by merging 3D printing and molding techniques is presented. This is achieved by 3D scanning live coral specimens, retrieved from sea dives, to obtain a CAD model of the complete coral 3D construction with complex geometries. Select areas of the model are flattened to create a 2D base for micro-fragment adhesion. From the CAD models, disclosed embodiments propose two methods of fabrication. Method A consists of 3D printing the CAD models with commercial thermoplastic materials to create a negative mold, subsequently loaded with synthesized Calcium Carbonate Photoinitiated (CCP) ink to form an eco-friendly coral skeleton. Method B uses syringe-based extrusion 3D printing to directly print a coral skeleton with CCP ink. Both methods are evaluated as a combined proof-of-concept process, 3D CoraPrint, for coral gardening and restoration and providing details required for mimicking coral and bone 3D structures for implantation in bone grafting applications.

    Abstract: A facile strategy is used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles via a green and simple approach showing self-alignment on the assembled nanofibers of ultrashort oligopeptides as a composite material. A photochemical reduction method is used, without requiring any external chemical reagents for the reduction of gold ions and producing gold nanoparticles of size ca. 5 nm under mild UV light exposure. The specific arrangement of gold nanoparticles on peptide nanofibers may indicate electrostatic interactions of two components and interactions with the amino group of the peptide building block. The gold-peptide nanoparticle composites show the ability as a catalyst to degradation of environmental pollutant p-nitrophenol to p-aminophenol, and the reaction rate constant for catalysis is 0.057 min−1 at a 50-fold dilute sample of 2 mg/mL and 0.72 mM gold concentration in the composites. This colloidal strategy helps researchers to fabricate the metalized bioorganic composites for biomedical and bio-catalysis applications.
