Biocompatibility is the basic requirement of biomaterials for tissue repair. However, the present concept of biocompatibility has a certain limitation in explaining the phenomena involved in biomaterial-based tissue repair. New materials, in particular those for tissue engineering and regeneration, have been developed with common characteristics, i.e. they participate deeply into important chemical and biological processes in the human body and the interaction between the biomaterials and tissues is far more complex. Understanding the interplay between these biomaterials and tissues is vital for their development and functionalization. Herein, we suggest the concept of bioadaptability of biomaterials. This concept describes the three most important aspects that can determine the performance of biomaterials in tissue repair: 1) the adaptability of the micro-environment created by biomaterials to the native micro-environment in situ; 2) the adaptability of the mechanical properties of biomaterials to the native tissue; 3) the adaptability of the degradation properties of biomaterials to the new tissue formation. The concept of bioadaptability emphasizes both the material's characteristics and biological aspects within a certain micro-environment and molecular mechanism. It may provide new inspiration to uncover the interaction mechanism of biomaterials and tissues, to foster the new ideas of functionalization of biomaterials and to investigate the fundamental issues during the tissue repair process by biomaterials. Furthermore, designing biomaterials with such bioadaptability would open a new door for repairing and regenerating organs or tissues. In this review, we summarized the works in recent years on the bioadaptability of biomaterials for tissue repair applications.

Although being an essential trace element required for human body health, Cu has long been seriously considered toxic when its amount exceeds certain limitation, which significantly limited the wide application of Cu in biomaterials. However, more and more bio-functions and benefits of Cu were found and confirmed, attracting the attention from biomaterials researchers in recent years. People have tried to immobilize Cu into biomaterials by various ways, in order to develop novel bio-functional Cu containing biomaterials with better bio-adaptions, and several different bio-functions of them have been demonstrated. This paper makes a review of the development of novel bio-functional Cu containing biomaterials, and focuses on their unique roles in enhancing bio-adaption of biomedical materials, including antibacterial performance, stimulating angiogenesis, promoting osteogenesis and inhibition of in-stent restenosis, aiming at proposing a prospective development direction for biomedical materials with better bio-adaptions.

Although cartilage tissue engineering has been developed for decades, it is still unclear whether angiogenesis was the accompaniment of chondrogenesis in cartilage regeneration. This study aimed to explore the process of anti-angiogenesis during cartilage regenerative progress in cartilage repair extracellular matrix (ECM) materials under Hypoxia. C3H10T1/2 cell line, seeded as pellet or in ECM materials, was added with chondrogenic medium or DMEM medium for 21 days under hypoxia or normoxia environment. Genes and miRNAs related with chondrogenesis and angiogenesis were detected by RT-qPCR technique on Days 7, 14, and 21. Dual-luciferase report system was used to explore the regulating roles of miRNAs on angiogenesis. Results showed that the chondrogenic medium promotes chondrogenesis both in pellet and ECM materials culture. HIF1α was up-regulated under hypoxia compared with normoxia (P?<?0.05). Meanwhile, hypoxia enhanced chondrogenesis. miR-140-5p exhibited higher expression while miR-146b exhibited lower expression. The chondrogenic phenotype was more stabilized in the ECM materials in chondrogenic medium than DMEM medium, with lower VEGFα expression even under hypoxia. Dual-luciferase report assays demonstrated that miR-140-5p directly targets VEGFα by binding its 3′-UTR. Taken together, chondrogenic cytokines, ECM materials and hypoxia synergistically promoted chondrogenesis and inhibited angiogenesis. miR-140-5p played an important role in this process.

Biomaterials are increasingly being evolved to actively adapt to the desired microenvironments so as to introduce tissue integration, reconstruct stability, promote regeneration, and avoid immune rejection. The complexity of its mechanisms poses great challenge to current biomimetic synthetic materials. Although still at initial stage, harnessing cells, tissues, or even entire body to synthesize bioadaptive materials is introducing a promising future.

A digital image correlation method is used to characterize the mechanical response of a polyurethane rubber (Tecoflex). Stress-strain curves under a tensile test for large deformations are measured using this technique along with the evolution of volume change. Loading-unloading stress-strain curves were also measured. A network model for large nonlinear rubber elasticity is used, with simplifying assumptions and fairly good results was obtained compared to the experimental data.
