Cellulose Nanocrystal–Fibrin Nanocomposite Hydrogels Promoting Myotube Formation

Abstract: Cellulose Nanocrystals have been widely studied as fillers to form reinforced nanocomposites with a wide range of applications, including the biomedical area. Here, we evaluated the possibility to combine them with fibrinogen and obtain fibrin hydrogels with improved mechanical stability as potential cellular scaffolds. In diluted conditions at neutral pH, it was evidenced that fibrinogen could adsorb on cellulose nanocrystals in a two-step process, favoring their alignment under flow. Composite hydrogels coul… Show more

“…Therefore, it is recognized by some researchers as a highly efficient choice for drug carriers, whether via in vivo or in vitro delivery routes ( Kehr et al, 2015 ; Du et al, 2021 ). In addition, NHs also have outstanding biomimetic properties and histocompatibility, so they can place some special tissues for clinical treatment, such as cartilage, skeletal muscle, and cardiac tissues ( Asadi et al, 2018 ; Piantanida et al, 2019 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ; Peper et al, 2021 ; Wang et al, 2021 ).…”

“…In a further step, the ability of seeded cells to differentiate and form myotubes was studied. It was noticed that pure fibrin gel obtained by the acidic route yields to fewer and shorter myotubes compared to fibrin gels obtained using the common neutral pH route, although C2C12 proliferation rates were similar for both types of gels [ 13 ]. This points out that, although the acidic pathway does allow obtaining fibrin networks, they have distinct structures and properties from common ones [ 33 ].…”

“…In vitro, in the absence of factor XIII, fibrin hydrogels usually show fast biodegradability and low storage modulus values [ 5 , 6 ]. There are many approaches to solve these problems, such as increasing fibrinogen and thrombin concentration [ 7 , 8 ], adding chemical cross-linkers [ 9 , 10 ] or mixing fibrinogen with particles or other polymers to form composite hydrogels [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

“…Development of fibrin based composite hydrogels supplemented with different types polymer materials could be an effective strategy. Recently, Wang K. et al (2021) combined cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) with fibrinogen and obtained CNC reinforced fibrin nanocomposite hydrogel, and the obtained hydrogel with improved mechanical stability showed an improvement in the formation of long myotubes (up to 800 μm).…”
