Project description:Piezoelectric stimulation can promote neuronal differentiation of neural stem cells. Here we report a piezoelectric nanostickers that activate voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) on the surface of neural stem cells under ultrasound, inducing calcium ion influx.The influx of calcium ions leads to the upregulation of CaMKⅡ expression and phosphorylation, which initiates downstream signal transduction pathways in the process of neurogenesis. Phosphorylated CaMKⅡ (P-CaMKⅡ) enters the nucleus, where it facilities the phosphorylation of CREB. The phosphorylation of CREB enhances the expression of target gene, BDNF, ultimately leading to the completion of neurogenesis.

Project description:As part of a wider project to assess the impact of ultrasound on in vitro plant growth, this paper aimed to determine whether the application of piezoelectric ultrasound (PE-US) would induce changes to the transcriptome of in vitro potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). After exposing explants (single-node segments with a single leaf) to PE-US (35 kHz; 70 W) for 20 min, the effect of this stressor was determined at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, 1 w and 4 w to assess the possible immediate and residual effects of PE-US on the potato transcriptome.

Project description:Bone defect repair remains a major clinical challenge. This study presents a novel strategy using a 3D-printed piezoelectric hydrogel scaffold—composed of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), hydroxyapatite (HA), and barium titanate (BTO)—for functional bone tissue engineering. The GelMA/HA/BTO (GelHABT) scaffold exhibited a well-defined porous structure, enhanced mechanical stability, and, crucially, reliable piezoelectric responsiveness. This key feature enables the material to convert external mechanical stimuli, such as low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), into endogenous electrical signals. In vitro, the scaffold promoted BMSCs adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation, with performance significantly enhanced under LIPUS stimulation. Mechanistic insights revealed that the piezoelectric microenvironment remodeled the cellular miRNA expression profile, particularly up-regulating osteogenesis-related miR-29b-3p and activating the AMPK signaling pathway. Collectively, this ultrasound-responsive, gene-regulating scaffold represents a promising approach for treating bone defects by leveraging piezoelectricity to actively stimulate bone regeneration.

Project description:Repairing large bone defects remains a significant clinical challenge. This study explores the development of collagen-enhanced piezoelectric microfiber barrier membranes (PLLA/ZnO@COL) for bone regeneration. The membranes' physicochemical properties, especially their piezoelectric characteristics, significantly influenced cellular behavior. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) confirmed the uniform dispersion of ZnO nanoparticles within the PLLA matrix, essential for optimal piezoelectric performance. The inclusion of collagen layers enhanced the electrical properties, cytocompatibility and osteogenic activity of the membranes. In vitro analyses, including bioinformatics, revealed that PLLA/ZnO@COL membranes upregulated key osteogenic pathways such as PI3K-AKT, MAPK, and Ras, thereby enhancing osteoblast proliferation, migration, and differentiation. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation further amplified these effects, indicating a synergistic role in enhancing osteoblast functions. In vivo studies using a rat mandibular bone defect model demonstrated that PLLA/ZnO@COL membranes, with the collagen layer facing the defect, significantly fostered new bone formation compared to control groups. Micro-CT analysis at 6 and 12weeks post-implantation showed higher bone mineral density, volume, and trabecular number in the PLLA/ZnO@COL group, indicating greater osteogenic activity. In conclusion, PLLA/ZnO@COL membranes, in conjunction with LIPUS, effectively enhance osteoblast functions and induce bone regeneration, showing potential as innovative barrier membranes in bone tissue engineering. The combination of piezoelectric properties, collagen enhancement, and LIPUS stimulation presents a novel approach to improving bone healing outcomes.

Project description:Measuring vital physiological pressures is important for monitoring health status, preventing the buildup of dangerous internal forces in impaired organs, and enabling novel approaches of using mechanical stimulation for tissue regeneration. Pressure sensors are often required to be implanted and directly integrated with native soft biological systems. Therefore, the devices should be flexible and at the same time biodegradable to avoid invasive removal surgery that can damage directly interfaced tissues. Despite recent achievements in degradable electronic devices, there is still a tremendous need to develop a force sensor which only relies on safe medical materials and requires no complex fabrication process to provide accurate information on important biophysiological forces. Here, we present a strategy for material processing, electromechanical analysis, device fabrication, and assessment of a piezoelectric Poly-l-lactide (PLLA) polymer to create a biodegradable, biocompatible piezoelectric force sensor, which only employs medical materials used commonly in Food and Drug Administration-approved implants, for the monitoring of biological forces. We show the sensor can precisely measure pressures in a wide range of 0-18 kPa and sustain a reliable performance for a period of 4 d in an aqueous environment. We also demonstrate this PLLA piezoelectric sensor can be implanted inside the abdominal cavity of a mouse to monitor the pressure of diaphragmatic contraction. This piezoelectric sensor offers an appealing alternative to present biodegradable electronic devices for the monitoring of intraorgan pressures. The sensor can be integrated with tissues and organs, forming self-sensing bionic systems to enable many exciting applications in regenerative medicine, drug delivery, and medical devices.

Project description:Electrical stimulation (ES) induces wound healing and skin regeneration. Combining ES with the tissue-engineering approach, which relies on biomaterials to construct a replacement tissue graft, could offer a self-stimulated scaffold to heal skin-wounds without using potentially toxic growth factors and exogenous cells. Unfortunately, current ES technologies are either ineffective (external stimulations) or unsafe (implanted electrical devices using toxic batteries). Hence, we propose a novel wound-healing strategy that integrates ES with tissue engineering techniques by utilizing a biodegradable self-charged piezoelectric PLLA (Poly (l-lactic acid)) nanofiber matrix. This unique, safe, and stable piezoelectric scaffold can be activated by an external ultrasound (US) to produce well-controlled surface-charges with different polarities, thus serving multiple functions to suppress bacterial growth (negative surface charge) and promote skin regeneration (positive surface charge) at the same time. We demonstrate that the scaffold activated by low intensity/low frequency US can facilitate the proliferation of fibroblast/epithelial cells, enhance expression of genes (collagen I, III, and fibronectin) typical for the wound healing process, and suppress the growth of S. aureus and P. aeruginosa bacteria in vitro simultaneously. This approach induces rapid skin regeneration in a critical-sized skin wound mouse model in vivo. The piezoelectric PLLA skin scaffold thus assumes the role of a multi-tasking, biodegradable, battery-free electrical stimulator which is important for skin-wound healing and bacterial infection prevention simultaneuosly.

Project description:Piezoelectric materials, a type of "smart" material that generates electricity while deforming and vice versa, have been used extensively for many important implantable medical devices such as sensors, transducers, and actuators. However, commonly utilized piezoelectric materials are either toxic or nondegradable. Thus, implanted devices employing these materials raise a significant concern in terms of safety issues and often require an invasive removal surgery, which can damage directly interfaced tissues/organs. Here, we present a strategy for materials processing, device assembly, and electronic integration to 1) create biodegradable and biocompatible piezoelectric PLLA [poly(l-lactic acid)] nanofibers with a highly controllable, efficient, and stable piezoelectric performance, and 2) demonstrate device applications of this nanomaterial, including a highly sensitive biodegradable pressure sensor for monitoring vital physiological pressures and a biodegradable ultrasonic transducer for blood-brain barrier opening that can be used to facilitate the delivery of drugs into the brain. These significant applications, which have not been achieved so far by conventional piezoelectric materials and bulk piezoelectric PLLA, demonstrate the PLLA nanofibers as a powerful material platform that offers a profound impact on various medical fields including drug delivery, tissue engineering, and implanted medical devices.
