This study further confirmed that the introduction of anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-4) and cell adhesive motif (RGD) onto Ti substrate can work synergistically to generate a more favorable early-stage osteo-immune environment with superior osteogenic properties, thus representing a potential ideal surface for the generation of bone biomaterials. Magnetite nanoparticles are promising materials for application in magnetic resonance imaging, targeted drug delivery, enzyme immobilization and cancer therapies based on hyperthermia thanks to their biocompatibility, wide chemical affinity and superparamagnetic properties. However, there is still the lack of the knowledge of interactions between magnetite nanoparticles covered with the bioactive polymers and biological cells. In order to fulfil this gap, we have investigated interactions of newly synthetized magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with aminated chitosan (Fe3O4-aminated chitosan) and a model biological membrane made of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) using a Langmuir technique. Surface pressure-mean area per DPPC molecule isotherms and Brewster angle microscope images (BAM) recorded during compression of the two-component Fe3O4-aminated chitosanDPPC films revealed the strong influence of the Fe3O4-aminated chitosan nanoparticles on the stability, phase state and structure of the phospholipid membrane. The studies on the adsorption/incorporation process of the Fe3O4-aminated chitosan nanoparticles showed that they can adsorb/incorporate into the DPPC model membrane at the surface pressure corresponding to this present in the cellular membrane under the biological conditions (35&nbsp;mN·m-1). The number of the adsorbed/incorporated Fe3O4-aminated chitosan nanoparticles can be regulated by the nanoparticles concentration in the neighbourhood of the DPPC model membrane even at high surface pressure of 35&nbsp;mN·m-1. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are versatile tools for various applications in biotechnology and nanomedicine. MNPs-mediated cell tracking, targeting and imaging are increasingly studied for regenerative medicine applications in cell therapy and tissue engineering. Mechanical stimulation influences mesenchymal stem cell differentiation. Here we show that MNPs-mediated magneto-mechanical stimulation of human primary adipose derived stem cells (ADSCs) exposed to variable magnetic field (MF) influences their adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation. ADSCs loaded with biocompatible magnetite nanoparticles of 6.6&nbsp;nm, and with an average load of 21 picograms iron/cell were exposed to variable low intensity (0.5&nbsp;mT - LMF) and higher intensity magnetic fields (14.7 and 21.6&nbsp;mT - HMF). Type, duration, intensity and frequency of MF differently affect differentiation. Short time (2&nbsp;days) intermittent exposure to LMF increases adipogenesis while longer (7&nbsp;days) intermittent as well as continuous exposure favors osteogenesis. HMF (21.6&nbsp;mT) short time intermittent exposure favors osteogenesis. Different exposure protocols can be used to increase differentiation dependently on expected results. Magnetic remotely-actuated MNPs up-taken by ADSCs promotes the shift towards osteoblastic lineage. ADSCs-MNPs under MF exposure could be used for enabling osteoblastic conversion during cell therapy for systemic osteoporosis. Current results enable further in vivo studies investigating the role of remotely-controlled magnetically actuated ADSCs-MNPs for the treatment of osteoporosis.

The main characteristics of microporous CFs used for preparation of biosensors are given. Two CFs were characterized by different specific surface area, CFA ( less then 1&nbsp;m2·g-1) and CFB (1448&nbsp;m2·g-1), but with comparable size of the micropores estimated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy. The structural analysis was shown that CFA is formed by thin interwoven fibers forming a highly porous structure, as well as CFB - by granular formations with uneven edges that shape a cellulose membrane of lower porosity. The results of amperometric analysis revealed that the laccase-bound CFs possesses better electrochemical behavior for laccase than non-modified rod carbon electrodes (control). Using chronoamperometric analysis, the operational parameters of the CFs-modified bioelectrodes were compared to control bioelectrodes. The bioelectrodes based on CFs have demonstrated 2.4-2.7 folds enhanced maximal current at substrate saturation (Imax) values, 1.2-1.4 folds increased sensitivity and twice wide linearity compared with control bioelectrodes. The sensitivity of the developed CFs-based bioelectrodes was improved compared with the laccase-bound electrodes, described in literature. The developed biosensor was tested for catechol analysis in the real communal wastewater sample. Mesoporous material SBA-15 was functionalized with different polar and nonpolar groups 3-aminopropyl, (SBA-15-NH2), 3-isocyanatopropyl (SBA-15-NCO), 3-mercaptopropyl (SBA-15-SH), methyl (SBA-15-CH3) and phenyl (SBA-15-Ph). The resulting surface grafted materials were investigated as matrices for controlled drug delivery. Anticancer agent, pemetrexed (disodium pemetrexed heptahydrate) was selected as a model drug and loaded in the unmodified and functionalized SBA-15 materials. Materials were characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis, small angle X-ray scattering, powder X-ray diffraction, solid state NMR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. It was shown that surface modification has an impact on both encapsulated drug amount and release properties. Release experiments were performed into two media with different pH simulated body fluid (pH = 7.4) and simulated gastric fluid (pH = 2). In general, the effect of pH was refle mesoporous silica material by grafted polar/nonpolar groups may significantly affect the compatibility of this material with cells, drug release from this material and subsequent biological activity of PEM.
