Abstract
l-Dopa (3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) is a chiral amino acid generated via biosynthesis from l-tyrosine in plants and some animals. The presence of multiple interacting sites makes l-Dopa a multifunctional building block for the preparation of supramolecular materials. The possibility to form hydrogen bonds and the presence of the aromatic ring allow l-Dopa molecules to interact through a series of non-covalent interactions. The additional presence of the catechol moiety really makes this compound unique: not only does it have implications in the self-assembly process of Dopa itself and with other substrates, but also it highly increases the number of applications of the final material, since it works as an antioxidant, radical trapper, metal chelator, reducing agent and adhesive. l-Dopa and catechol containing derivatives have been extensively introduced inside both synthetic and natural polymers to obtain amazing functional materials. In this review we report the preparation of small peptides containing l-Dopa, focusing on the supramolecular materials that can be obtained with them, ranging from fibrils to fibres, gels, films and coatings, all having the different applications mentioned above and many others.

Abstract
As a kind of natural protein derived material, gelatin has been widely used in the preparation of medical hydrogels due to its good biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and the ability of promoting cell adhesion. Functionalization of gelatin-based hydrogels is a hot topic in research and its clinic application. Herein, a novel gelatin-based adhesive hydrogel was prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry. Gelatin was firstly functionalized by dopamine to form dopamine grafted gelatin (GelDA). After the mixture with 1,4-phenylenebisboronic acid and graphene oxide (GO), the GelDA/GO hydrogels were obtained by H2O2/HRP (horseradish peroxidase) catalytic system. Based on the self-healing and tissue adhesion of the hydrogels, the hemostatic property has been exhibited in the rat hepatic hemorrhage model. Additionally, the incorporation of GO endowed conductivity and enhanced the mechanical property of GelDA/GO hydrogels. The electromyography (EMG) signals of finger movement were successfully monitored by using hydrogel as the adhesive electrodes of EMG monitor. L929 cell experiments showed that the hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. The results indicated the potential application of GelDA/GO hydrogels in tissue adhesives, wound dressings, and wearable devices.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To give a current review of the mechanism of mussel adhesion, the application of mussel-inspired compounds in dentistry and the challenges associated with clinical application. METHODS Inspired by the wet adhesion property of 3,4-dihydroxyphenol-l-alanine (Dopa) in mussel plaques, various chemical compounds have been synthesized to mimic the mussel as an adhesion model for medical applications. Similar to mussels in the marine environment, dental materials in the oral environment have to endure long-term water hydrolysis, mechanical stress and other chemical challenges. These challenges have influenced an increasing number of studies that are exploring the translation of mussel-inspired adhesion to clinical applications. Therefore, this review discusses the mussel adhesion chemistry and its related application in dentistry. RESULTS Mussel-inspired compounds have achieved relatively acceptable performances in various dental fields, including surface coating, metal ions chelation, dentin bonding and mucosal adhesion. However, two practical problems remain to be comprehensively addressed, namely the protection of catechol groups from oxidation, and the feasibility for clinical application. SIGNIFICANCE The mussel's wet adhesion ability has attracted much research interest in the dental field because of its properties of moisture-resistant adhesion and surface coating. Despite the emergence of several mussel-inspired compounds in recent years, a comprehensive and timely review of their applications in dentistry is lacking. Therefore, the current review hopes to provide valuable information around the application of mussel-inspired compounds in dentistry with their pros and cons discussed.

Abstract
Chondroitin sulfate (CS), the main component of cartilage extracellular matrix, has attracted attention as a biomaterial for cartilage tissue engineering. However, current CS hydrogel systems still have limitations for application in successful cartilage tissue engineering owing to their unsuitable degradation kinetics, insufficient mechanical similarity, and lack of integration with the native cartilage tissue. In this study, using mussel adhesive-inspired catechol chemistry, we developed a functional CS hydrogel that exhibits tunable physical and mechanical properties as well as excellent tissue adhesion for efficient integration with native tissues. Various properties of the developed catechol-functionalized CS (CS-CA) hydrogel, including swelling, degradation, mechanical properties, and adhesiveness, could be tailored by varying the conjugation ratio of the catechol group to the CS backbone and the concentration of the CS-CA conjugates. CS-CA hydrogels exhibited significantly increased modulus (∼10 kPa) and superior adhesive properties (∼3 N) over conventional CS hydrogels (∼hundreds Pa and ∼0.05 N). In addition, CS-CA hydrogels incorporating decellularized cartilage tissue dice promoted the chondrogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells by providing a cartilage-like microenvironment. Finally, the transplantation of autologous cartilage dice using tissue-adhesive CS-CA hydrogels enhanced cartilage integration with host tissue and neo-cartilage formation owing to favorable physical, mechanical, and biological properties for cartilage formation. In conclusion, our study demonstrated the potential utility of the CS-CA hydrogel system in cartilage tissue reconstruction.

Abstract
Chitosan-based thermosensitive hydrogels have been widely used in drug delivery and tissue engineering, but their poor bioactivity has limited their further applications. Integral active oyster peptide microspheres (OPM) with an average particle diameter of 3.9 μm were prepared with high encapsulation efficiency (72.8%) and loading capacity (11.9%), exhibiting desirable sustained release effects. Using catechol functionalized chitosan (CS-C) as the polymeric matrix, OPM as the filler, and β-sodium glycerophosphate (β-GP) as a thermal sensitizer, the thermosensitive hydrogel CS-C/OPM/β-GP was prepared. Besides, the application of the hydrogel on wound healing was studied, and its biosafety was evaluated. The results of cell migration in vitro showed that the cell migration rate of CS-C/OPM/β-GP reached 97.47 ± 5.41% within 48 h, indicating that the hydrogel accelerated the migration of L929 cells. As demonstrated in the mouse skin wound experiment, CS-C/OPM/β-GP hydrogel not only inhibited the aggregation of diversified inflammatory cells and accelerated the generation of collagen fibers and new blood vessels of the wound, but also enhanced the synthesis of total protein (TP) in granulation tissue, and up-regulated the expression of Ki-67 and VEGF in the injury, thereby achieving fast wound healing. Safety evaluation results showed that CS-C/OPM/β-GP hydrogel was not cytotoxic to L929 cells, and the hemolysis ratio was less than 5% within 1 mg/mL. In conclusion, CS-C/OPM/β-GP hydrogel is expected as a promising medical dressing for wound healing.

Abstract
Bioadhesives crosslinked with dynamic bonds exhibit shear-thinning, self-healing, and on-demand detachment properties, but generally show a weak bonding performance due to their poor bulk strength. Obtaining a strong bioadhesive with reversible crosslinking remains a challenge. To address this issue, herein we engineered a dynamic thiol-aldehyde crosslinked solvent-free adhesive based on hyperbranched polymer. The adhesive was obtained by directly mixing a liquid hyperbranched polymer with thiol end groups (HBPTE) and benzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEGCHO) without any additional catalyst or solvent. The solvent-free strategy yielded a dense crosslinking structure with many aldehyde groups, so this HBPTE-PEGCHO adhesive can strongly bond to tissue and various non-biological substrates. In addition, the HBPTE-PEGCHO adhesive has self-healing and thermo-reversible bonding properties due to the dynamic thiol-aldehyde crosslinking matrix. In vivo wound healing experiments show that this HBPTE-PEGCHO adhesive is tissue-benign, suggesting it can be applied in clinical practice. Combining the hyperbranched polymer-based solvent-free strategy and dynamic thiol-aldehyde crosslinking chemistry provides a simple but effective way to engineer a multifunctional bioadhesive with the desired bonding performance.

Abstract
The genetic code is the manual that cells use to incorporate amino acids into proteins. It is possible to artificially expand this manual through cellular, molecular, and chemical manipulations to improve protein functionality. Strategies for in vivo genetic code expansion are under the same functional constraints as natural protein synthesis. Here, we review the approaches used to incorporate noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) into designer proteins through the manipulation of the translation machinery and draw parallels between these methods and natural adaptations that improve translation in extant organisms. Following this logic, we propose new nature-inspired tactics to improve genetic code expansion (GCE) in synthetic organisms.

Abstract
Hydrogels for wound management and tissue gluing applications have to adhere to tissues for a given time scale and then disappear, either by removal from the skin or by slow degradation for applications inside the body. Advanced wound management materials also envision the encapsulation of therapeutic drugs or cells to support the natural healing process. The design of hydrogels that can fulfill all of these properties with minimal chemical complexity, a stringent condition to favor transfer into a real medical device, is challenging. Herein, we present a hydrogel design with a moderate structural complexity that fulfills a number of relevant properties for wound dressing: it can form in situ and encapsulate cells, it can adhere to tissues, and it can be degraded on demand by light exposure under cytocompatible conditions. The hydrogels are based on starPEG macromers terminated with catechol groups as cross-linking units and contain intercalated photocleavable nitrobenzyl triazole groups. Hydrogels are formed under mild conditions (N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N'-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) buffer with 9-18 mM sodium periodate as the oxidant) and are compatible with encapsulated cells. Upon light irradiation, the cleavage of the nitrobenzyl group mediates depolymerization, which enables the on-demand release of cells and debonding from tissues. The molecular design and obtained properties reported here are interesting for the development of advanced wound dressings and cell therapies and expand the range of functionality of current alternatives.

Abstract
Wound dressings based on injectable thermo-sensitive hydrogel possess several advantages over preformed conventional dressings such as rapid reversible sol-gel transition behavior and the capacity of filling the irregular wound defect. Nevertheless, its clinical application is hindered by the weak tissue adhesiveness. Therefore, in this study, the catechol modified quaternized chitosan (QCS-C) was fabricated and incorporated into poly(d,l-lactide)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(d,l-lactide) (PLEL) hydrogel to develop an injectable hydrogel with the properties of thermo-sensitive, antibacterial and tissue adhesive. QCS-C could lower the LCST of hydrogel for easy gelation at physiological temperature, and significantly enhanced the tissue adhesion. For wound generation, nano-scaled bioactive glass (nBG:80 SiO2, 16 CaO and 4 P2O5; mol%) was loaded into hydrogel to promote angiogenesis. The mice partial laceration experiment showed that PLEL-nBG-QCS-C hydrogel could effectively seal the ruptured skin and significantly accelerate wound healing. Thus, our findings established a new type of clinical treatment technology for complicated wounds.

Abstract
We present a solution to regenerate adipose tissue using degradable, soft, pliable 3D-printed scaffolds made of a medical-grade copolymer coated with polydopamine. The problem today is that while printing, the medical grade copolyesters degrade and the scaffolds become very stiff and brittle, being not optimal for adipose tissue defects. Herein, we have used high molar mass poly(L-lactide-co-trimethylene carbonate) (PLATMC) to engineer scaffolds using a direct extrusion-based 3D printer, the 3D Bioplotter®. Our approach was first focused on how the printing influences the polymer and scaffold's mechanical properties, then on exploring different printing designs and, in the end, on assessing surface functionalization. Finite element analysis revealed that scaffold's mechanical properties vary according to the gradual degradation of the polymer as a consequence of the molar mass decrease during printing. Considering this, we defined optimal printing parameters to minimize material's degradation and printed scaffolds with different designs. We subsequently functionalized one scaffold design with polydopamine coating and conducted in vitro cell studies. Results showed that polydopamine augmented stem cell proliferation and adipogenic differentiation owing to increased surface hydrophilicity. Thus, the present research show that the medical grade PLATMC based scaffolds are a potential candidate towards the development of implantable, resorbable, medical devices for adipose tissue regeneration.
