“…As efficient natural dermal armors, fish scales are usually composed of minerals (hydroxyapatite as main component) and multiple layers of collagen fibers to form a laminated plywood structure. [ 7 ] Such composition and structure endow the fish scale with excellent biocompatibility and sufficient mechanical strength. [ 8 ] Besides, as a kind of pluripotent stem cell with self‐renewal and multidirectional differentiation ability, the transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and other resident cells of regional tissues to promote tissue repair.…”

Bioactive Fish Scale Scaffolds with MSCs‐Loading for Skin Flap Regeneration

et al. 2022

Skin flap transplantations are common methods for covering and repairing tissue defects in surgery, while the survival rates of these skin flaps are still low due to the vascular crisis and necrosis. To improve this situation, herein a novel biohybrid scaffold is proposed by integrating the advantages of anisotropic fish scales and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for skin flap regeneration. The fish scale scaffold is obtained through its decellularization and decalcification processes, which reserved intact collagen, glycosaminoglycan, and other endogenous growth factors for MSCs and human vascular endothelial cells proliferation. As the scaffold maintains intrinsic anisotropic structures on both surfaces, the proliferative cells can be elongated along the aligned structures on the fish scale, which endow them the capacity to differentiate into multiple directions. Based on these features, it is demonstrated from an in vivo experiment that the MSCs-loading fish scale scaffolds can effectively convert the activated inflammatory macrophages into anti-inflammatory properties, reduce the inflammation around the flap, and improve the survival rate. These results indicate that the MSCs-loading fish scale scaffold is suitable and has the potential for skin flap regeneration and functional recovery.

“…Fish scale has a great mechanical property as a kind of fish skin barrier, which comes from the characteristic hierarchical structures [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The fish scales generally have similar structures and compositions irrespective of the kind of fish [ 4 , 5 ]. The structures of fish scales can be mainly divided into two external and internal layers ( Scheme 1 a) [ 1 , 2 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

“…The internal layer is composed of lamellar collagen fibrils, which are aligned in different directions with a lower degree of calcification [ 2 , 6 ]. On the other hand, bone tissue is also mainly composed of HAp and collagen fibrils, and the composite structure is very similar to that of the fish scales [ 2 , 5 ]. Hence, fish scale is expected to be applied for a bone regeneration field as a natural, environmental-friendly and biocompatible material [ 5 , 10 , 11 ].…”

Since the HAp composition affects the physicochemical properties of the bone regeneration materials [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], our group have researched and reported the HAp and the related biofunctional nanoparticle precipitation on the fish scales so far [ 16 , 17 ].…”

Biomimetic Mineralization in External Layer of Decalcified Fish Scale

et al. 2022

The mineralization process of the osseous layer, which is highly calcified in vivo, was successfully imitated by the immersion process of the decalcified fish scales in simplified simulated body fluid (SSBF). An alkali treatment was used to modify the native collagen in the decalcified Tilapia fish scale. After the alkali treatment, the mineralization was facilitated in SSBF. The XRD patterns and SEM-EDS observation results demonstrated that the externally-mineralized layers by the immersion process were highly similar to the osseous layer containing lower-crystalline hydroxyapatite, suggesting that the simple biomimetic precipitation process was developed.

“…This waste occurs in huge quantities, considering that, in 2019, worldwide production of fish was estimated to be around 177.8 million metric tons (a number that will continually increase in the future) [55]. Of this amount, around 7.2-12 million tons are wasted yearly [56]. These waste products are discarded into the environment, in disposal areas or in the sea, with huge economic loss and detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems, producing greenhouse gases and stench [57][58][59].…”

Fish industry waste is attracting growing interest for the production of environmentally friendly materials for several different applications, due to the potential for reduced environmental impact and increased socioeconomic benefits. Recently, the application of fish industry waste for the synthesis of value-added materials and energy storage systems represents a feasible route to strengthen the overall sustainability of energy storage product lines. This review focused on an in-depth outlook on the advances in fish byproduct-derived materials for energy storage devices, including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion (NIBs) batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs), supercapacitors and protein batteries. For each of these, the latest applications were presented together with approaches to improve the electrochemical performance of the obtained materials. By analyzing the recent literature on this topic, this review aimed to contribute to further advances in the sustainability of energy storage devices.
