Abstract
Dual-cross-linked network (DCN) hydrogels with multiresponsive and self-healing properties are attracting intensive interests due to their enhanced mechanical strength for a wide range of applications. Herein, we developed a DCN hydrogel that combines a dynamic imine and a benzoxaboronic ester with a neutral pKa value (∼7.2) as dual linkages and contains biocompatible zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) [poly(MPC)] as the backbone. Oscillatory rheology result indicated shear strengthening mechanical properties compared to the single-cross-linked network (SCN) hydrogels, which use either imine bond or benzoxaboronic ester as the linkage alone. Due to the coexistence of stimuli-responsive imine and benzoxaboronic ester, the DCN hydrogels show sensitive multiple responsiveness to pH, sugar, and hydrogen peroxide. The dynamic nature of the dual linkages endows the DCN hydrogels with excellent self-healing ability after fracture. More importantly, the excellent biocompatibility and performance in three-dimensional (3D) cell encapsulation were established by a cytotoxicity Live/Dead assay, indicating DCN hydrogel's great potential as a cell culture scaffold. The biocompatible poly(MPC)-based backbone and the rapid formation of the cross-linking network make the DCN hydrogels promising candidates for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic wounds are seen frequently in diabetic and bedbound patients. Such skin injuries, which do not heal in a timely fashion, can lead to life-threatening conditions. In an effort to resolve the burdens of chronic wounds, numerous investigations have explored the efficacy of various therapeutics on wound healing. Therapeutics can be topically delivered to cutaneous wounds to reduce the complications associated with systemic drug delivery because the compromised skin barrier is not expected to negatively affect drug distribution. However, researchers have recently demonstrated that the complex environment of chronic wounds could lower the localized availability of the applied therapeutics. Microneedle arrays (MNAs) can be exploited to enhance delivery efficiency and consequently improved healing. AREAS COVERED In this review, we briefly describe the pathophysiology of chronic wounds and current treatment strategies. We further introduce methods and materials commonly used for the fabrication of MNAs. Subsequently, the studies demonstrating the benefits of MNAs in wound care are highlighted. EXPERT OPINION Microneedles have great potential to treat the complicated pathophysiology of chronic wounds. Challenges that will need to be addressed include development of a robust chronic wound model and MNAs that combine complex functionality with simplicity of use.

Abstract
Smart insulin delivery platforms having the ability of mimicking pancreatic cells are highly expected for diabetes treatment. Herein, a smart glucose-sensitive insulin delivery platform on the basis of transcutaneous microneedles has been designed. The as-prepared microneedles are composed of glucose- and pH-responsive supramolecular polymer vesicles (PVs) as the drug storage and water soluble polymers as the matrix. The well-defined PVs are constructed from the host-guest inclusion complex between water-soluble pillar[5]arene (WP5) with pH-responsiveness and paraquat-ended poly(phenylboronic acid) (PPBA-G) with glucose-sensitivity. The drug-loaded PVs, including insulin and glucose oxidase (GOx) can quickly respond to elevated glucose level, accompanied by the disassociation of PVs and fast release of encapsulated insulin. Moreover, the insulin release rate is further accelerated by GOx, which generates gluconic acid at high glucose levels, thus decreasing the local pH. Therefore, the host-guest interaction between WP5 and PPBA-G is destroyed and a total structure disassociation of PVs takes place, contributing to a fast release of encapsulated insulin. The in vivo insulin delivery to diabetic rats displays a quick response to hyperglycemic levels and then can fast regulate the blood glucose concentrations to normal levels, which demonstrates that the obtained smart insulin device has a highly potential application in the treatment of diabetes.

Abstract
In recent years, controlled release of drugs has posed numerous challenges with the aim of optimizing parameters such as the release of the suitable quantity of drugs in the right site at the right time with the least invasiveness and the greatest possible automation. Some of the factors that challenge conventional drug release include long-term treatments, narrow therapeutic windows, complex dosing schedules, combined therapies, individual dosing regimens, and labile active substance administration. In this sense, the emergence of micro-devices that combine mechanical and electrical components, so called micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) can offer solutions to these drawbacks. These devices can be fabricated using biocompatible materials, with great uniformity and reproducibility, similar to integrated circuits. They can be aseptically manufactured and hermetically sealed, while having mobile components that enable physical or analytical functions together with electrical components. In this review we present recent advances in the generation of MEMS drug delivery devices, in which various micro and nanometric structures such as contacts, connections, channels, reservoirs, pumps, valves, needles, and/or membranes can be included in their design and manufacture. Implantable single and multiple reservoir-based and transdermal-based MEMS devices are discussed in terms of fundamental mechanisms, fabrication, performance, and drug release applications.

Abstract
A flexible microneedle patch that can transdermally deliver liquid-phase therapeutics would enable direct use of existing, approved drugs and vaccines, which are mostly in liquid form, without the need for additional drug solidification, efficacy verification, and subsequent approval. Specialized dissolving or coated microneedle patches that deliver reformulated, solidified therapeutics have made considerable advances; however, microneedles that can deliver liquid drugs and vaccines still remain elusive because of technical limitations. Here, we present a snake fang-inspired microneedle patch that can administer existing liquid formulations to patients in an ultrafast manner (<15 s). Rear-fanged snakes have an intriguing molar with a groove on the surface, which enables rapid and efficient infusion of venom or saliva into prey. Liquid delivery is based on surface tension and capillary action. The microneedle patch uses multiple open groove architectures that emulate the grooved fangs of rear-fanged snakes: Similar to snake fangs, the microneedles can rapidly and efficiently deliver diverse liquid-phase drugs and vaccines in seconds under capillary action with only gentle thumb pressure, without requiring a complex pumping system. Hydrodynamic simulations show that the snake fang-inspired open groove architectures enable rapid capillary force-driven delivery of liquid formulations with varied surface tensions and viscosities. We demonstrate that administration of ovalbumin and influenza virus with the snake fang-inspired microneedle patch induces robust antibody production and protective immune response in guinea pigs and mice.

Abstract
Polymeric microneedles (MNs) have been leveraged as a novel transdermal drug delivery platform for effective drug permeation, which were widely used in the treatment of various diseases. However, issues including limited loading capacity of hydrophobic drugs, uncontrollable drug release rates, and monotonic therapeutic strategy hamper the further application of polymeric MNs. As a recent emerging research topic, drawing inspiration from the ways that nanomedicine integrated with MNs have opened new avenues for disease therapy. In this review, we examined the recent studies employing nanoparticles (NPs)-encapsulated polymeric MNs (NPs@MNs) for transdermal delivery of various therapeutic cargos, particularly focused on the application of NPs@MNs for diabetes therapy, infectious disease therapy, cancer therapy, and other dermatological disease therapy. We also provided an overview of the clinical potential and future translation of NPs@MNs.

Abstract
Due to the refractory nature and recurrence of cancer, the related treatments are continuously updated and improved. Here, we designed a soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) microneedle system loaded with a two-dimensional (2D) MXene (Nb2C nanosheets) for medical implantation and photothermal ablation of superficial tumors in the second near infrared biological window (NIR-II). In this system, 2D Nb2C nanosheets acted as high-performance photothermal nanoagents, and biocompatible PVP functioned as matrix material to maintain the structure of the needles. The microneedle system exhibited sufficient skin-penetration ability and distinctive dissolution behavior. After being inserted into the skin of the tumor site, it can be dissolved within a short period to release the loaded 2D Nb2C nanosheets. The temperature of the tumor site increased rapidly to almost 70 °C under the irradiation of a 1064 nm laser at a power density of 1 W cm-2, and this could provide sufficient conditions for photonic tumor ablation. After two weeks of treatment, the tumor growth was significantly suppressed, compared to that of the control group, and the survival rate of mice was clearly improved. In addition, the biocompatibility of the microneedle system was tested on mice, in which no significant toxicity or side effects were observed. Therefore, this kind of microneedle system with minimally invasive, safe and effective features is expected to be developed as an intriguing strategy for localized superficial cancer treatment.

Abstract
Type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes treatment involves daily injections or continuous infusion of exogenous insulin aimed at regulating blood glucose levels in the normoglycemic range. However, current options for insulin therapy are limited by the risk of hypoglycemia and are associated with suboptimal glycemic control outcomes. Therefore, a range of glucose-responsive components that can undergo changes in conformation or show alterations in intermolecular binding capability in response to glucose stimulation has been studied for ultimate integration into closed-loop insulin delivery or "smart insulin" systems. Here, an overview of the evolution and recent progress in the development of molecular approaches for glucose-responsive insulin delivery systems, a rapidly growing subfield of precision medicine, is presented. Three central glucose-responsive moieties, including glucose oxidase, phenylboronic acid, and glucose-binding molecules are examined in detail. Future opportunities and challenges regarding translation are also discussed.

Abstract
Skin interstitial fluid (ISF) holds great potential as a highly desirable sample resource for point-of-care testing (POCT), where the key is to effectively collect target biomarkers from ISF. Hydrogel microneedle patch has great promise for ISF extraction. However, it is challenging to recover target biomarkers from the extracted skin ISF in hydrogel microneedle patches in an easy-administrated, fast, and bulky instrument-free manner. Herein, a hydrogel microneedle patch made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) for POCT based on the ISF is developed. The phase transition property of PVA/CS hydrogel makes the microneedles stiff when dry, which is beneficial to easily penetrate into skin. Meanwhile, the highly porous microstructure of hydrogel offers good swelling ability for extraction of ISF and the thermal degradation property of PVA makes it convenient to quickly and efficiently recover target biomarkers from microneedle patch. The capability of this platform for POCT applications is further demonstrated by successful detections of typical biomarkers collected from the mimetic skin and monitoring the glucose level in rabbit skins during a day. The developed hydrogel microneedle patch holds the advantages of extraction of skin ISF and recovery of biomarkers, thus presenting as a powerful platform for skin ISF-based POCT applications.

Abstract
Dissolvable polymeric microneedles (DPMNs) are promising transdermal drug delivery systems with minimal invasiveness and improved patient compliance. Incorporation of a small amount of graphene oxide (GO) in the biocompatible polymers for microneedle fabrication results in important new DPMN properties, that is, dramatically enhanced mechanic strength (10-17 times at 500 mg/mL GO), improved moisture resistance, self-sterilization, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties (demonstrated in vitro), and near-infrared light-activated controlled drug release (demonstrated in vitro and in vivo), which were exploited for the transdermal delivery of the chemotherapeutic, HA15, to melanoma-bearing mouse models. These new properties improve their efficacy of transdermal drug delivery and ease of use, enhance their capability of controlled drug release, enlarge the scope of the polymers that can be used for DPMN fabrication, prevent microbial contamination during storage and transportation, and reduce infection risk in clinical applications.

Abstract
The rigorous reaction conditions (sufficient H2O2 and a low pH value) of an efficient Fenton reaction limit its further biomedical translation. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the efficacy of the Fenton reaction at the tumor site for efficient ferroptotic therapy. Herein, a hypoxia-responsive-Azo-BSA functionalized biomimetic nanoreactor (Fe(iii)-GA/GOx@ZIF-Azo), encapsulating ultrasmall ferric-gallic acid coordination polymer nanoparticles (Fe(iii)-GA) and glucose oxidase (GOx) into a zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), was constructed for tumor ablation through an intensive Fenton reaction accelerated by not only sustained Fe2+ and H2O2 supply but also low pH and photothermal stimulation. Moreover, Azo achieved charge reversal in a hypoxia microenvironment caused by the sustained oxygen consumption by GOx, which resulted in selective and enhanced tumor accumulation based on the hypoxia-activated positive feedback cellular uptake. This rationally designed biomimetic nanoreactor might lay a foundation for the clinical translation of ferroptotic therapy.

Abstract
The smart self-regulated drug delivery systems for insulin administration are desirable to achieve glycemic control, and decrease the long-term micro- and macro vascular complications. In this study, we developed an injectable nano-complex formulation for closed-loop insulin delivery after subcutaneous administration and release of insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels. The nano-complex was prepared by mixing oppositely charged chitosan and PLGA nanoparticles. PLGA nanoparticles were prepared using double-emulsion solvent diffusion method, and were loaded with glucose oxidase (GOx) and catalase (CAT) enzymes. These negatively charged particles decrease micro-environmental pH, by gluconic acid production in the glucose molecules presence. Positively charged chitosan nanoparticles were prepared using ionic gelation method, and were loaded with insulin. These nanoparticles (NPs) released insulin by dissociation in acidic pH caused by the GOx activity. Following in vitro studies, in vivo evaluation of nano-complex formulations in streptozocin induced diabetic rats showed significant glycemic regulation up to 98 h after subcutaneous administration.

Abstract
RNA interference (RNAi) therapy has become an appealing approach for cancer treatment, while the specificity and efficiency of controlled small interference RNA (siRNA) release remain challenging due to the heterogeneity of tumor environment. Herein, upconversion nano-onions (UCNOs) with stacked polymer coating layers are constructed to decompose sequentially in response to extracellular environment and NIR stimulation. The UCNOs (UCNPs-PEIRB-PEISeSe/siRNA-R8-HA) are composed of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) core functionalized with inner coating layer of photosensitizer rose bengal (RB) conjugated PEI 600, middle coating layer of singlet oxygen (1O2) sensitive diselenide linked PEI 600 with therapeutic siRNA loading and cell-penetrating peptide R8 modification, and outer coating layer of negatively charged hyaluronic acid (HA). HA prevents siRNA leakage during delivery process and specifically targets tumor cells with overexpressed CD44 membrane receptors, and digested by cell secreted hyaluronidase (HAase). Upon the subsequent irradiation at 808 nm, UCNPs core generates emissions around 540 nm, which activate RB to boost ROS generation for complete PEI-SeSe decompose. The NIR boosted decompose of UCNOs induces a fast and efficient siRNA release, which effectively improves the gene silencing efficiency in vitro and suppresses tumor growth in vivo. The proposed sequentially responsive UCNOs have promising potential application in precision medicine.

Abstract
The controlled delivery of therapeutics in a manner responsive to physiological indicators has promise in realizing new therapeutic approaches to combat disease. This approach is especially relevant in the context of diabetes. Natural fluctuations in blood glucose seen in the healthy state, complete with peaks and troughs, are poorly regulated as a result of detrimental production or ineffective signaling of the insulin hormone. While several manifestations of diabetes are treated with regularly administered exogenous insulin, the present standard of care results in suboptimal glycemic management that poorly recreates natural hormone control, leading to long-term instability and a significantly increased risk for secondary health complications. New synthetic technologies that make insulin available only when needed, and at the exact dose required, have been explored under the broad vision of realizing a "fully synthetic pancreas." Yet, many challenges remain to realizing a technology that is appropriately responsive, safe, and well integrated into a manageable routine. Herein, many of the approaches explored thus far to sense physiological blood glucose and elicit response through the release of therapeutic insulin are summarized. The approaches point to a new, autonomous approach to managing diabetes with biomimetic therapy.

Abstract
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder disease characterized by high blood glucose levels and has become one of the most serious threats to human health. In recent decades, a number of insulin delivery systems, including bulk gels, nanogels, and polymeric micelles, have been developed for the treatment of diabetes. Herein, a kind of glucose and H2O2 dual-responsive polymeric nanogel was designed for enhanced glucose-responsive insulin delivery. The polymeric nanogels composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(cyclic phenylboronic ester) (glucose and H2O2 dual-sensitive groups) were synthesized by a one-pot thiol-ene click chemistry approach. The nanogels displayed glucose-responsive release of insulin and the release rate could be promoted by the incorporation of glucose oxidase (GOx), which generated H2O2 at high glucose levels and H2O2 further oxidizes and hydrolyzes the phenylboronic ester group. The nanogels have characteristics of long blood circulation time, a fast response to glucose, and excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, subcutaneous delivery of insulin to diabetic mice with the insulin/GOx-loaded nanogels presented an effective hypoglycemic effect compared to that of injection of insulin or insulin-loaded nanogels. This kind of nanogel would be a promising candidate for the delivery of insulin in the future.

Abstract
Insulin therapy is necessary to regulate blood glucose levels for people with type 1 diabetes and commonly used in advanced type 2 diabetes. Although subcutaneous insulin administration via hypodermic injection or pump-mediated infusion is the standard route of insulin delivery, it may be associated with pain, needle phobia, and decreased adherence, as well as the risk of infection. Therefore, transdermal insulin delivery has been widely investigated as an attractive alternative to subcutaneous approaches for diabetes management in recent years. Transdermal systems designed to prevent insulin degradation and offer controlled, sustained release of insulin may be desirable for patients and lead to increased adherence and glycemic outcomes. A challenge for transdermal insulin delivery is the inefficient passive insulin absorption through the skin due to the large molecular weight of the protein drug. In this review, we focus on the different transdermal insulin delivery techniques and their respective advantages and limitations, including chemical enhancers-promoted, electrically enhanced, mechanical force-triggered, and microneedle-assisted methods.

Abstract
Antidiabetic therapeutics, including insulin as well as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and its analogs, are essential for people with diabetes to regulate their blood glucose levels. Nevertheless, conventional treatments based on hypodermic administration is commonly associated with poor blood glucose control, a lack of patient compliance, and a high risk of hypoglycemia. Closed-loop drug delivery strategies, also known as self-regulated administration, which can intelligently govern the drug release kinetics in response to the fluctuation in blood glucose levels, show tremendous promise in diabetes therapy. In the meantime, the advances in the development and use of microneedle (MN)-array patches for transdermal drug delivery offer an alternative method to conventional hypodermic administration. Hence, glucose-responsive MN-array patches for the treatment of diabetes have attracted increasing attentions in recent years. This review summarizes recent advances in glucose-responsive MN-array patch systems. Their opportunities and challenges for clinical translation are also discussed.

Abstract
A closed-loop "smart" insulin delivery system with the capability to mimic pancreatic cells will be highly desirable for diabetes treatment. This study reports a multiple stimuli-responsive insulin delivery platform based on an explicit supramolecular strategy. Self-assembled from a well-designed amphiphilic host-guest complex formed by pillar[5]arene and a diphenylboronic acid derivative and loaded with insulin and glucose oxidase, the obtained insulin-GOx-loaded supramolecular vesicles can selectively recognize glucose, accompanied by the structure disruption and efficient release of the entrapped insulin triggered by the high glucose concentration as well as the in situ generated H2 O2 and acid microenvironment during the GOx-promoted specific oxidation of glucose into gluconic acid. Moreover, such a "smart" supramolecular theranostic nanoplatform is able to function as both a glucose sensor and a controlled insulin delivery actuator. In vivo experiments further demonstrate that this smart supramolecular nanocarrier shows fast response to hyperglycemic circumstances and can effectively regulate the glucose levels in a mouse model of type I diabetes.

Abstract
Boronic ester, one typical example of dynamic covalent bonds, has presented great potential to prepare self-healing hydrogels. However, most of currently reported hydrogels based on boronic esters are formed at pH > 8, which impeded their further use in physiological conditions. In this study, we designed two kinds of zwitterionic copolymers with benzoxaborole and catechol pendant groups, respectively. Owing to the lower pKa value of benzoxaborole (7.2), gelation can happen easily at pH 7.4 PBS after mixing these two copolymers due to efficient formation of benzoxaborole-catechol complexations. The resulting hydrogels exhibited excellent self-healing property as well as dual pH/sugar responsiveness due to the dynamic nature of boronic ester. Moreover, benefiting from the cell membrane bioinspired 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC)-based polymeric matrix, the hydrogel was further investigated for 3D cell encapsulation. The combination of biocompatible zwitterionic polymers with dynamic benzoxaborole-catechol complexation makes the hydrogels a promising platform for diverse potential bioapplications like drug delivery and tissue engineering.

Abstract
As peripheral lymphocytes are typically excluded from the gastrointestinal lymph tissues, current parenteral vaccinations fail to simultaneously induce systemic and mucosal responses. To break the natural barrier, "immunoticket" capsules are developed and heralded, which are designed with positive charged shells and oily core to spatiotemporally deliver antigens and all-trans retinoic acid (RA). After intramuscular vaccinations, these capsules function as an immunoticket to cultivate peripheral dendritic cells (DCs) with gut-homing receptors (CCR9). By hitchhiking on the concentration gradient of the CC-motif chemokine ligand 25 (CCL25), the primed DCs would home to the gut associated lymphoid tissues (GALTs) and induce antigen-specific IgA secretion and T cell engagements. Compared with the currently employed RA-involving formulations, the immunoticket capsules stimulate enhanced RA-mediated gut-tropism by mounting the inflammatory innate immunity. Through controlling the RA payload, the potential regulatory T cell engagement is circumvented. In ovalbumin (OVA) and EV71 vaccinations, the immunoticket capsules induce potent serum IgG titer and antigen-specific cytotoxic T cells in the peripheral lymph tissues, as well as robust IgA secretion and T cell engagements on gastrointestinal sites. The data suggest the potential of the immunotickets to serve as a facile, effective, and safe strategy to provide comprehensive immune responses against gastrointestinal infections and diseases.

Abstract
Confinement of urate oxidase with detoxifying enzymes into multienzyme architecture is an appealing approach for gout treatment due to its capability to decompose serum uric acid without generation of H2 O2 . However, most of these strategies involve chemical modifications to the enzymes and barely consider enhancing the stability of the multienzyme architectures particularly against proteolysis, which significantly dampened its catalytic activity and in vivo stability. Herein, a novel strategy to prepare multienzyme nanoclusters with highly uricolytic activity and enhanced stability is demonstrated. With the close proximation, catalase can effectively decompose the H2 O2 generated by uricase during uricolysis. Moreover, with a shell structure constructed with polyethylene glycol, the nanocluster achieves great performance in reducing the nonspecific serum protein adsorptions and proteases digestion, leading to an enhanced circulation time after the intravenous administration. Such complementary multienzyme nanoclusters realize the long-term therapeutic effect in the management of serum uric acid level, without any toxicity or undesired immune responses in vivo. This work mimics the synergistic effect of protein complex in nature and can be further developed to a general method for the construction of multienzyme nanoclusters, which provides new opportunities for utilizing therapeutic enzymes for the treatment of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Herein, a dual-responsive insulin delivery device by integrating glucose- and H2O2-responsive polymeric vesicles (PVs) with transcutaneous microneedles (MNs) has been designed. This novel microneedle delivery device achieves a goal of fast response, excellent biocompatibility, and painless administration. The PVs are self-assembled from a triblock copolymer including poly(ethylene glycol), poly(phenylboronic acid) (glucose-sensitive block), and poly(phenylboronic acid pinacol ester) (H2O2-sensitive block). After loading with insulin and glucose oxidase (GO x), the drug-loaded PVs display a basal insulin release as well as a promoted insulin release in response to hyperglycemic states. The insulin release rate responds quickly to elevated glucose and can be further promoted by the incorporated GO x, which will generate the H2O2 at high glucose levels and further break the chemical links of phenylboronic acid pinacol ester group. Finally, the transdermal delivery of insulin to the diabetic rats ((insulin + GO x)-loaded MNs) presents an effective hypoglycemic effect compared to that of subcutaneous injection or only insulin-loaded MNs, which indicates the as-prepared MNs insulin delivery system could be of great importance for the applications in the therapy of diabetes.
