Abstract
Burns, trauma, surgery and chronic diabetic ulcers are the most common reasons causing skin wounds in clinic. Thus, developing a functional wound dressing has been an imperative issue. Herein, functional wound dressing (poly(l-lactic acid) PLLA-((tanic acid (TA)/europium (Eu))n ) is fabricated through a facile polyphenol-europium ion assembly to ameliorate wound microenvironment via scavenging excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and promoting angiogenesis. The physicochemical characterization indicates that the multicycle assembled TA/Eu is uniformly deposited on PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats surface. In vitro 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant tests display good antioxidant ability by scavenging more than 75% ROS, and significantly increasing the antioxidant enzyme levels in vivo. Cytocompatibility experiments illustrate that PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats can promote the adhesion and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and L929 cells. Meanwhile, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (RT-qPCR) and western blot assays illustrate that it can stimulate proangiogenesis by elevating the expression of angiogenesis-related genes and proteins. In vivo Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats experiments indicate that PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats can significantly promote wound healing by improving both angiogenesis and antioxidant activity. Taken together, the functional PLLA-(TA/Eu)n nanofiber mats can offer significant promise as wound dressing for accelerated wound healing.

Abstract
Stimulus-responsive polymer materials have attracted much attention as drug carriers because of the ability to deliver drugs to the active site. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play crucial roles in cellular signaling and regulation of oxygen homeostasis. However, ROS are present in abnormally high levels in many pathological environments. Based on the above points, three-arm poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)-PO-poly(ethylene glycol) (3s-PLGA-PO-PEG or simply PP) was synthesized by using peroxalate esters (PO) as hydrogen peroxide-responsive linkages. PP was used to deliver promote hematopoietic recovery drugs erythropoietin (EPO) and EPO nanoparticles (EPO NPs) were prepared. We established a hematopoietic system injury model by ionizing radiation (IR) and unexpectedly found the good therapeutic effect of blank PP. Moreover, the administration of EPO NPs obviously decreased IR-induced ROS in bone marrow cells (BMCs) and reconstituted hematopoietic stem cells in BMCs. This study reveals a novel ROS-responsive polymer material that could be employed to remove excess ROS in the lesion and promote the efficacy of drug therapy.

Abstract
Macrophages play a key role in determining the fate of implanted biomaterials, especially for biomaterials such as calcium phosphates (CaPs) where these cells play a vital role in material resorption and osteogenesis, as shown in different models, including clinical samples. Although substantial consideration is given to the design and validation of different CaPs, relatively little is known about their material-cell interaction. Specifically, the intracellular content of different CaP phases remains to be assessed, even though CaP-filled macrophages have been observed in several studies. In this study, 2D/3D ToF-SIMS imaging and multivariate analysis were directly applied on the histology samples of an explant to reveal the content of macrophages. The cellular content of the macrophages was analyzed to distinguish three CaP phases, monetite, beta-tricalcium phosphate, and pyrophosphate, which are all part of the monetite-based CaP implant composition under study. ToF-SIMS combined with histology revealed that the content of the identified macrophages was most similar to that of the pyrophosphate phase. This study is the first to uncover distinct CaP phases in macrophages from a human multiphasic CaP explant by targeted direct cell content analysis. The uncovering of pyrophosphate as the main phase found inside the macrophages is of great importance to understand the impact of the selected material in the process of biomaterial-instructed osteogenesis.

Abstract
The modulation of inflammation in tissue microenvironment takes an important role in cartilage repair and regeneration. In this study, a novel hybrid scaffold was designed and fabricated by filling a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging hydrogel (RS Gel) into a radially oriented poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) scaffold. The radially oriented PLGA scaffolds were fabricated through a temperature gradient-guided phase separation and freeze-drying method. The RS Gel was formed by crosslinking the mixture of ROS-responsive hyperbranched polymers and biocompatible methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HA-MA). The hybrid scaffolds exhibited a proper compressive modulus, good ROS-scavenging capability, and cell compatibility.In vivotests showed that the hybrid scaffolds significantly regulated inflammation and promoted regeneration of hyaline cartilage after they were implanted into full-thickness cartilage defects in rabbits for 12 w. In comparison with the PLGA scaffolds, the neo-cartilage in the hybrid scaffolds group possessed more deposition of glycosaminoglycans and collagen type II, and were well integrated with the surrounding tissue.

Abstract
Diabetic wound healing is highly desirable but remains a great challenge owing to the continuous damage of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and degradation of therapeutic peptide drugs by over-expressed matrix metalloproteinase (MMP). Herein, we developed a stimuli-responsive smart dressing for theranostics of diabetic wounds using graphene quantum dots-decorated luminescent porous silicon (GQDs@PSi), which was further loaded with peptide and embedded in chitosan (CS) film. The confinement of GQDs in nanochannels of PSi endowed GQDs@PSi with efficient fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) effect, leading to initial red fluorescence of PSi with complete quench of GQD's blue fluorescence. Furthermore, the decoration of GQDs on PSi surface significantly enhanced the loading capacity for peptide drugs including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin (Ins) which can promote diabetic wounds healing. The peptides coloaded in GQDs@PSi exhibited sustained release behavior and could be protected in presence of MMP owing to size exclusion of PSi's nanochannels. As H2O2-triggered oxidation of PSi lead to weakened FRET effect and degradation of PSi, GQDs@PSi demonstrated H2O2-responsive ratiometric fluorescence change (from red PSi to blue GQDs) and drug release behavior. In combination with CS's degradation in the acidic and oxidation microenvironment, the smart dressing also showed stimuli-responsive drug release toward slightly acid and highly oxidative conditions in diabetic wounds. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the smart dressing enhanced the proliferation and migration of cells as well as significantly healed diabetic wounds. Real-time indicating of the exacerbation or healing of diabetic wounds was also realized using the rate of fluorescent discoloration of the dressing. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: In this work, a dual luminescent nanomaterial was created by hosting graphene quantum dots (GQDs) in the nanochannel of porous silicon (PSi), which was further applied for theranostics of diabetic wound. The synergistic effect of the host-guest nanohybrid is significant. The GQDs can significantly improve the capacity for peptide drug loading and form a stimuli-response visual ratiometric sensor with luminescent PSi, which can also protect and sustain release of peptide drugs for effective diabetic wounds treatment. After embedded in a chitosan film, the smart dressing displayed H2O2-responsive visual ratiometric fluorescence change and drug release behavior. In vitro and in vivo results demonstrated the smart dressing enhanced the proliferation and migration of cells as well as significantly healed diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds often have a slow healing process and become easily infected owing to hyperglycemia in wound beds. Once planktonic bacterial cells develop into biofilms, the diabetic wound becomes more resistant to treatment. Although it remains challenging to accelerate healing in a diabetic wound due to complex pathology, including bacterial infection, high reactive oxygen species, chronic inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis, the development of multifunctional hydrogels is a promising strategy. Multiple functions, including antibacterial, pro-angiogenesis, and overall pro-healing, are high priorities. Here, design strategies, mechanisms of action, performance, and application of functional hydrogels are systematically discussed. The unique properties of hydrogels, including bactericidal and wound healing promotive effects, are reviewed. Considering the clinical need, stimuli-responsive and multifunctional hydrogels that can accelerate diabetic wound healing are likely to form an important part of future diabetic wound management.

Abstract
Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) usually results in restricted behaviour recovery and even life-changing paralysis, accompanied with numerous complications. Pathologically, the initial injuries trigger a series of secondary injuries, leading to an expansion of lesion site, a mass of neuron loss, and eventual failure of endogenous axon regeneration. As the advances rapidly spring up in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering biomaterials, regulation of these secondary injuries becomes possible, shedding a light on normal functional restoration. The successful tissue regeneration lies in proper regulation of the inflammatory microenvironment, including the inflammatory immune cells and inflammatory factors that lead to oxidative stress, inhibitory glial scar and neuroexcitatory toxicity. Specifically, the approaches based on microenvironment-regulating biomaterials have shown great promise in the repair and regeneration of SCI. In this review, the pathological inflammatory microenvironments of SCI are discussed, followed by the introduction of microenvironment-regulating biomaterials in terms of their impressive therapeutic effect in attenuation of secondary inflammation and promotion of axon regrowth. With the emphasis on regulating secondary events, the biomaterials for SCI treatment will become promising for clinical applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic inflammatory disease in the joints. It is one of the leading causes of disability with increasing morbidity, which has become one of the serious clinical issues. Current treatments would only provide temporary relief due to the lack of early diagnosis and effective therapy, and thus the replacement of joints may be needed when the OA deteriorates. Although the intra-articular injection and oral administration of drugs are helpful for OA treatment, they are suffering from systemic toxicity, short retention time in joint, and insufficient bioavailability. Nanomedicine is potential to improve the drug delivery efficiency and targeting ability. In this focused progress review, the particle-based drug loading systems that can achieve targeted and triggered release are summarized. Stimuli-responsive nanocarriers that are sensitive to endogenous microenvironmental signals such as reactive oxygen species, enzymes, pH, and temperature, as well as external stimuli such as light for OA therapy are introduced in this review. Furthermore, the nanocarriers associated with targeted therapy and imaging for OA treatment are summarized. The potential applications of nanotherapies for OA treatment are finally discussed.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are well accepted biomaterials that have attracted considerable attention. Compared with other materials under research, polysaccharides show unique advantages: they are available in nature and are normally easily acquired, those acquired from nature show favorable immunogenicity, and are biodegradable and bioavailable. The bioactivity and possible applications are based on their chemical structure; however, naturally acquired polysaccharides sometimes have unwanted flaws that limit further applications. For this reason, carefully summarizing the possible modifications of polysaccharides to improve them is crucial. Structural modifications can not only provide polysaccharides with additional functional groups but also change their physicochemical properties. This review based on the structure-property relation summarizes the common chemical modifications of polysaccharides, the related bioactivity changes, possible functionalization methods, and major possible biomedical applications based on modified polysaccharides.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive nanocarriers have aroused widespread interest in recent years. On the one hand, a high ROS level has been detected in many types of tumor cells. On the other hand, ROS generation is also induced during photodynamic, sonodynamic, or chemodynamic therapy. In addition, multiple types of polymers are sensitive to ROS. Therefore, numerous ROS-responsive polymeric nanocarriers with unique ROS-responsive characteristics have been developed. This review discusses ROS-sensitive polymeric nanocarriers to improve drug delivery efficacy. In particular, ROS-responsive nanocarriers for synergistic cancer therapy are highlighted. The development of novel ROS-sensitive nanocarriers holds great potential for combining ROS-mediated therapy, such as photodynamic therapy, and other therapies to achieve synergistic anticancer efficacy.

Abstract
There is a substantial global market for orthopedic implants, but these implants still face the problem of a high failure rate in the short and long term after implantation due to the complex physiological conditions in the body. The use of multifunctional coatings on orthopedic implants has been proposed as an effective way to overcome a range of difficulties. Here, a multifunctional (TA@HA/Lys)n coating composed of tannic acid (TA), hydroxyapatite (HA), and lysozyme (Lys) was fabricated in a layer-by-layer (LBL) manner, where TA deposited onto HA firmly stuck Lys and HA together. The deposition of TA onto HA, the growth of (TA@HA/Lys)n, and multiple related biofunctionalities were thoroughly investigated. Our data demonstrated that such a hybrid coating displayed antibacterial and antioxidant effects, and also facilitated the rapid attachment of cells [both mouse embryo osteoblast precursor cells (MC3T3-E1) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs)] in the early stage and their proliferation over a long period. This accelerated osteogenesis in vitro and promoted bone formation in vivo. We believe that our findings and the developed strategy here could pave the way for multifunctional coatings not only on orthopedic implants, but also for additional applications in catalysts, sensors, tissue engineering, etc.

Abstract
Overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to chronic inflammation, which limits skin wound healing. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop materials that can locally control the adverse reactions caused by excessive ROS. In this research, an ROS-sensitive hydrogel with strong free radical scavenging ability was prepared by introducing the thione (Tk) group into carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCTS) hydrogel. CMCTS hydrogel was cross-linked by NH2-Tk-NH2 agent and loaded curcumin (Cur), which possessed favorable nontoxicity, water absorption, mechanical property, biodegradability, drug release behavior, the M2 phenotype, and inflammatory factor regulating the capacity of macrophages. It is worth noting that Cur@CMCTS-Tk hydrogel can significantly inhibit oxidative damage of human fibroblasts in the H2O2-induced microenvironment and protect their viability by reducing the production of intracellular ROS. In vivo, ROS-removing hydrogel effectively accelerated the process of wound healing and possessed good regenerative properties, including hair follicle formation, promotion of new blood vessel formation, and highly orderly arrangement of collagen fibers in the full-thickness skin burn defect rat model. Hence, we expect that the Cur@CMCTS-Tk hydrogel could be used for wound treatment and tissue regeneration due to the ability to scavenge excess ROS.

Abstract
Chronic wounds, such as pressure ulcers, vascular ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs), often stay in a state of pathological inflammation and suffer from persistent infection, excess inflammation, and hypoxia, thus they are difficult to be healed. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a critical role in the regulation of various wound healing processes, including inflammatory response, cell proliferation, collagen formation, antimicrobial action and angiogenesis. The important role of NO in wound healing attracts intensive research focus on NO-based wound healing therapy. However, the application of NO gas therapy needs to resolve the intrinsic shortcomings of gas therapy, such as short storage and release times as well as temporal and spatial uncontrollability of the release mode. So far, various types of NO donors, including organic nitrates (RONO2), nitrites (RONO), S-nitrosothiols (RSNOs), nitrosamines, N-diazeniumdiolates (NONOates), and metal-NO complexes, have been developed to solidify gaseous NO and they were further encapsulated in or conjugated onto a variety of biomaterial vectors to develop NO delivery systems. NO synthetic enzyme mimics to catalyze the production and release of NO from l-arginine have also been developed. This paper reviews recent advances of NO donors, biomaterial vectors, thus-formed NO delivery systems, as well as recently emerged NO synthetic enzyme mimics. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the functions of NO releasing biomaterials that would benefit chronic wound healing, including antibacterial properties and the promotion of angiogenesis, as well as the convenient combination of light/thermal induced NO release with light/thermal therapies, and the prospects for future developing trends in this area.

Abstract
Inflammatory microenvironments (IMEs) are common pathological characteristics and drive the development of multiple chronic diseases. Thus, IME-targeted therapies exhibit potential for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Nanoplatforms have significant advantages in improving the efficiency of anti-inflammatory treatments. Owing to their improved therapeutic effects and reduced side effects, IME-targeted nanotherapies have recently drawn interest from the research community. This review introduces IMEs and discusses the application of IME-targeted nanotherapies for inflammatory diseases. The development of rational targeting strategies tailored to IMEs in damaged tissues can help promote therapies for chronic diseases.

Therapies to prevent post-infarction remodelling: From repair to regeneration. Biomaterials 2021; 275:120906.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction is the first cause of worldwide mortality, with an increasing incidence also reported in developing countries. Over the past decades, preclinical research and clinical trials continually tested the efficacy of cellular and acellular-based treatments. However, none of them resulted in a drug or device currently used in combination with either percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft. Inflammatory, proliferation and remodelling phases follow the ischaemic event in the myocardial tissue. Only recently, single-cell sequencing analyses provided insights into the specific cell populations which determine the final fibrotic deposition in the affected region. In this review, ischaemia, inflammation, fibrosis, angiogenesis, cellular stress and fundamental cellular and molecular components are evaluated as therapeutic targets. Given the emerging evidence of biomaterial-based systems, the increasing use of injectable hydrogels/scaffolds and epicardial patches is reported both as acellular and cellularised/functionalised treatments. Since several variables influence the outcome of any experimented treatment, we return to the pathological basis with an unbiased view towards any specific process or cellular component. Thus, by evaluating the benefits and limitations of the approaches based on these targets, the reader can weigh the rationale of each of the strategies that reached the clinical trials stage. As recent studies focused on the relevance of the extracellular matrix in modulating ischaemic remodelling and enhancing myocardial regeneration, we aim to portray current trends in the field with this review. Finally, approaches towards feasible translational studies that are as yet unexplored are also suggested.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by extracellular cytokines trigger the expression of inflammatory mediators in osteoarthritis (OA) chondrocyte. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) exerts an anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of PPARγ in interleukin-1β- (IL-1β-) induced cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) expression through ROS generation in OA chondrocytes. METHODS IL-1β-induced ROS generation and chondrocyte apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry. Contents of NADPH oxidase (NOX), caspase-3, and caspase-9 were evaluated by biochemical detection. The involvement of NOX2 and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in IL-1β-induced COX-2 and PGE2 expression was investigated using pharmacologic inhibitors and further analyzed by western blotting. Activation of PPARγ was performed by using a pharmacologic agonist and was analyzed by western blotting. RESULTS IL-1β-induced COX-2 and PGE2 expression was mediated through NOX2 activation/ROS production, which could be attenuated by N-acetylcysteine (NAC; a scavenger of ROS), GW1929 (PPARγ agonist), DPI (diphenyleneiodonium chloride, NOX2 inhibitor), SB203580 (p38MAPK inhibitor), PD98059 (extracellular signal-regulated kinase, ERK inhibitor), and SP600125 (c-Jun N-terminal kinase, JNK inhibitor). ROS activated p38MAPK to enter the nucleus, which was attenuated by PPARγ. CONCLUSION In OA chondrocytes, IL-1β induced COX-2 and PGE2 expression via activation of NOX2, which led to ROS production and MAPK activation. The activation of PPARγ exerted protective roles in the pathogenesis of OA.

Abstract
Wound healing dressing is increasingly needed in clinical owing to the large quantity of skin damage annually. Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced through internal or external environmental influences can lead to lipid peroxidation, protein denaturation, and even DNA damage, and ultimately have harmful effects on cells. Aiming to sufficiently contact with the wound microenvironment and scavenge ROS, superabsorbent poly (acrylic acid) and antioxidant poly (ester amide) (PAA/PEA) hybrid hydrogel has been developed to enhance wound healing. The physical and chemical properties of hybrid hydrogels were studied by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) absorption spectrum, compression, swelling, degradation, etc. Besides, the antioxidant properties of hybrid hydrogels can be investigated through the free radical scavenging experiment, and corresponding antioxidant indicators have been tested at the cellular level. Hybrid hydrogel scaffolds supported the proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells and fibroblasts, as well as accelerated angiogenesis and skin regeneration in wounds. The healing properties of wounds in vivo were further assessed on mouse skin wounds. Results showed that PAA/PEA hybrid hydrogel scaffolds significantly accelerated the wound healing process through enhancing granulation formation and re-epithelialization. In summary, these superabsorbent and antioxidative hybrid hydrogels could be served as an excellent wound dressing for full-thickness wound healing.

Abstract
The degree of tissue injuries such as the level of scarring or organ dysfunction, and the immune response against them primarily determine the outcome and speed of healing process. The successful regeneration of functional tissues requires proper modulation of inflammation-producing immune cells and bioactive factors existing in the damaged microenvironment. In the tissue repair and regeneration processes, different types of biomaterials are implanted either alone or by combined with other bioactive factors, which will interact with the immune systems including immune cells, cytokines and chemokines etc. to achieve different results highly depending on this interplay. In this review article, the influences of different types of biomaterials such as nanoparticles, hydrogels and scaffolds on the immune cells and the modification of immune-responsive factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), cytokines, chemokines, enzymes, and metalloproteinases in tissue microenvironment are summarized. In addition, the recent advances of immune-responsive biomaterials in therapy of inflammation-associated diseases such as myocardial infarction, spinal cord injury, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and diabetic ulcer are discussed.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of gastrointestinal tract with rising incidence. Established treatments of IBD are characterized by significantly adverse effects, insufficient therapeutic efficacy. Employing the oral nano-drug delivery systems for targeted therapy is capable of effectively avoiding systematic absorption and increasing local drug concentration, consequently leading to decreased adverse effects and improved therapeutic outcomes. This review gives a brief profile of pathophysiological considerations in terms of developing disease-directed drug delivery systems, then focuses on mechanisms and strategies of current oral nano-drug delivery systems, including size-, enzyme-, redox-, pH-, ligand-receptor-, mucus-dependent systems, and proposes the future directions of managements for IBD.

Abstract
Tissue regeneration is an active multiplex process involving the dynamic inflammatory microenvironment. Under a normal physiological framework, inflammation is necessary for the systematic immunity including tissue repair and regeneration as well as returning to homeostasis. Inflammatory cellular response and metabolic mechanisms play key roles in the well-orchestrated tissue regeneration. If this response is dysregulated, it becomes chronic, which in turn causes progressive fibrosis, improper repair, and autoimmune disorders, ultimately leading to organ failure and death. Therefore, understanding of the complex inflammatory multiple player responses and their cellular metabolisms facilitates the latest insights and brings novel therapeutic methods for early diseases and modern health challenges. This review discusses the recent advances in molecular interactions of immune cells, controlled shift of pro- to anti-inflammation, reparative inflammatory metabolisms in tissue regeneration, controlling of an unfavorable microenvironment, dysregulated inflammatory diseases, and emerging therapeutic strategies including the use of biomaterials, which expand therapeutic views and briefly denote important gaps that are still prevailing.

Abstract
Prophylactic antibiotic bone cements are extensively used in orthopaedics. However, the development of antimicrobial resistance to antibiotics, demonstrates a need to find alternative treatments. Herein, an antimicrobial honey (SurgihoneyRO-SHRO) has been successfully incorporated into a calcium sulphate (CS) based cement to produce a hard tissue scaffold with the ability to inhibit bacterial growth. Antimicrobial properties elicited from SHRO are predominantly owed to the water-initiated production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). As an alternative to initially loading CS cement with SHRO, in order to prevent premature activation, SHRO was added into the already developing cement matrix, locking available water into the CS crystal structure before SHRO addition. Promisingly, this methodology produced > 2.5 times (715.0 ± 147.3 μM/mL/g) more ROS over 24 h and exhibited a compressive strength (32.2 ± 5.8 MPa) comparable to trabecular bone after 3 weeks of immersion. In-vitro the SHRO loaded CS scaffolds were shown to inhibit growth of clinically relevant organisms, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, with comparable potency to equivalent doses of gentamicin. Encouragingly, formulations did not inhibit wound healing or induce an inflammatory response from osteoblasts. Overall this study highlights the prophylactic potential of CS-SHRO cements as an alternative to traditional antibiotics.

Abstract
The incidence and progression of inflammatory bowel disease are closely related to oxidative stress caused by excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). To develop an efficacious and safe nanotherapy against inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), we designed a novel pH/ROS dual-responsive prodrug micelle GC-B-Que as an inflammatory-targeted drug, which was comprised by active quercetin (Que) covalently linked to biocompatible glycol chitosan (GC) by aryl boronic ester as a responsive linker. The optimized micelles exhibited well-controlled physiochemical properties and stability in a physiological environment. Time-dependent NMR spectra traced the changes in the polymer structure in the presence of H2O2, confirming the release of the drug. The in vitro drug release studies indicated a low release rate (<20 wt %) in physiological conditions, but nearly complete release (>95 wt % after 72 h incubation) in a pH 5.8 medium containing 10 μM H2O2, exhibiting a pH/ROS dual-responsive property and sustained release behavior. Importantly, the negligible drug release in a simulated gastric environment in 1 h allowed us to perform intragastric administration, which has potential to achieve the oral delivery by mature enteric-coating modification in future. Further in vivo activities and biodistribution experiments found that the GC-B-Que micelles tended to accumulate in intestinal inflammation sites and showed better therapeutic efficacy than the free drugs (quercetin and mesalazine) in a colitis mice model. Typical inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-6, and iNOS were significantly suppressed by GC-B-Que micelle treatment. Our work promoted inflammatory-targeted delivery and intestinal drug accumulation for active single drug quercetin and improved the therapeutic effect of IBD. The current study also provided an alternative strategy for designing a smart responsive nanocarrier for a catechol-based drug to better achieve the target drug delivery.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 402:123939.

Abstract
A NiCo2O4-Au composite was fabricated following the calcination-reduction method and testified to exhibit the intrinsic high peroxidase- and oxidase-like activities. The composite could activate a low level of H2O2 (100 μM) to kill E. coli and S. aureus. NiCo2O4-Au composite could be easily separated by an external magnet from the media and reused several times. NiCo2O4-Au composite could also effectively damage the existing biofilms and prevent the formation of new biofilms. The electron spin resonance tests showed that NiCo2O4-Au composite catalyzed H2O2 into reactive oxygen species (ROS), mainly including OH, O2-, and 1O2; while the oxidase-like activity of NiCo2O4-Au also stemmed from the ROS formation in the absence of H2O2. The radical trapping experiment confirmed that OH and 1O2 were the main radicals in the antibacterial process for NiCo2O4-Au in the presence of H2O2. A NiCo2O4-Au based Band-Aid was also designed, which exhibited high anti-infective and wound-healing properties. This study has demonstrated that NiCo2O4-Au composite can be a promising antibacterial agent in environmental and clinical applications.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive amphiphilic block copolymers have emerged as promising nanocarriers for enhancing site-specific and on-demand drug release in response to a range of stimuli such as pH, the presence of redox agents, and temperature. The formulation of amphiphilic block copolymers into polymeric drug-loaded nanoparticles is typically achieved by various methods (e.g. oil-in-water emulsion solvent evaporation, solid dispersion, microphase separation, dialysis or microfluidic separation). Despite much progress that has been made, there remain many challenges to overcome to produce reliable polymeric systems. The main drawbacks of the above methods are that they produce very low solid contents (<1 wt%) and involve multiple-step procedures, thus limiting their scope. Recently, a new self-assembly methodology, polymerisation-induced self-assembly (PISA), has shown great promise in the production of polymer-derived particles using a straightforward one-pot approach, whilst facilitating high yield, scalability, and cost-effectiveness for pharmaceutical industry protocols. We therefore focus this review primarily on the most recent studies involved in the design and preparation of PISA-generated nano-objects which are responsive to specific stimuli, thus providing insight into how PISA may become an effective formulation strategy for the preparation of precisely tailored drug delivery systems and biomaterials, while some of the current challenges and limitations are also critically discussed.

Abstract
Stem cell spheroids have been widely investigated to accelerate bone tissue regeneartion. However, the directed differentiation of stem cells into osteoblastic lineage and the prevention of cells from damage by reactive oxygen species (ROS) remain challenge. Here, we developed osteoinductive and ROS scavenging extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking synthetic fibers based on epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) coating. They were then utilized to fabricate engineered spheroids with human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) for bone tissue regeneation. The EGCG-mineral fibers (EMF) effectively conferred osteoinductive and ROS scavenging signals on the hADSCs within spheroids, demonstrating relative upregulation of antioxidant genes (SOD-1 (25.8±2.1) and GPX-1 (3.3±0.1) and greater level of expression of osteogenic markers, RUNX2 (5.8±0.1) and OPN (5.9±0.1), compared to hADSCs in the spheroids without EMF. The in vitro overexpression of osteogenic genes from hADSCs was achieved from absence of osteogenic supplenments. Furthermore, in vivo transplantation of hADSCs spheroids with the EMF significantly promoted calvarial bone regeneration (48.39±9.24%) compared to that from defect only (17.38±6.63%), suggesting that the stem cell spheroid biofabrication system with our novel mineralization method described here is a promising tool for bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The activatable off-on near-infrared QCy7-based fluorogenic probes have emerged as powerful modalities for detecting and monitoring biological analytes and understanding their biological processes in cells and organisms. The use of biomarker-activated QCy7-based probes enables simple synthesis, minimum photo-damage to biological samples, and minimum background interference from biological systems. In this minireview, we aim to provide a rigorous but concise overview of activatable QCy7-based fluorogenic probes by reporting the significant progress made in recent years. The design strategies and the main applications of accurate detection and imaging of disease-related biomarkers (including ROS/RSS, enzymes, metal ions, and other related species) were reasonably analyzed and discussed. The potential challenges and prospects of activatable QCy7-based fluorogenic probes are also emphasized to further advance the development of new methods for biomarker detection and bioimaging.

Abstract
Serving as representative reactive oxygen species (ROS), H2O2 and HOCl play crucial roles in biological metabolism and intercellular oxidation-reduction dynamic equilibrium. The overexpression of H2O2/HOCl may cause a variety of diseases, such as acute and chronic inflammation, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. A major question in H2O2/HOCl-based pathological diagnosis is knowing how H2O2/HOCl concentrations can be accurately regulated to initiate a diagnosis and subsequently guarantee therapeutic effects in the course of medical advances. Fluorescent probes, with their great spatial and temporal resolutions, have been used in diverse pathophysiological processes and developed rapidly in the last five years. We summarise in this review the optical properties of H2O2/HOCl-responsive fluorescent probes and focus on effective distribution and dynamic monitoring by using pathophysiological models.

Abstract
In this paper, we synthesized a block copolymer containing pendent thioether functionalities by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of a tert-butyloxycarbonyl (Boc)-l-methionine-(2-methacryloylethyl)ester (Boc-METMA) monomer using a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based chain transfer agent. The deprotection of Boc groups resulted in an oxidation and pH dual-responsive cationic block copolymer PEG-b-P(METMA). The block copolymer PEG-b-P(METMA) possessing protonable amine groups was water-soluble at pH < 6.0 and self-assembled to form spherical micelles at pH > 6.0. In the presence of H2O2, the micelles first became highly swollen with time and completely disassembled at last, demonstrating the H2O2-responsive feature because of the oxidation of hydrophobic thioether to hydrophilic sulfoxide. The anticancer drug curcumin (Cur) was entrapped in the polymeric micelles and the Cur-loaded micelles displayed a H2O2-triggered release profile as well as a pH-dependent release behavior, making PEG-b-P(METMA) micelles promising nanocarriers for reactive oxygen species-responsive drug delivery. Taking advantage of the protonated amine groups, the cationic polyelectrolyte PEG-b-P(METMA) formed polyion complex micelles with glucose oxidase (GOx) through electrostatic interactions at pH 5.8. By cross-linking the cores of PIC micelles with glutaraldehyde, the PIC micelles were fixed to generate stable GOx nanogels under physiological conditions. The GOx nanogels were glucose-responsive and exhibited glucose-dependent H2O2-generation activity in vitro and improved storage and thermal stability of GOx. Cur can be encapsulated in the GOx nanogels, and the Cur-loaded GOx nanogels demonstrate the glucose-responsive release profile. The GOx nanogels displayed high cytotoxicity to 4T1 cells and were effectively internalized by the cells. Therefore, these GOx nanogels have potential applications in the areas of cancer starvation and oxidation therapy.

Abstract
In this study, we used murine chondrocytes as an in vitro model and mice exhibiting destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) as an in vivo model to investigate the mechanisms through which S-allyl cysteine (SAC) alleviates osteoarthritis (OA). SAC significantly reduced apoptosis and senescence and maintained homeostasis of extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism in tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP)-treated chondrocytes. Molecular docking analysis showed a -CDOCKER interaction energy value of 203.76 kcal/mol for interactions between SAC and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). SAC increased the nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and activated the Nrf2/HO1 signaling pathway in TBHP-treated chondrocytes. Furthermore, Nrf2 knockdown abrogated the antiapoptotic, antisenescence, and ECM regulatory effects of SAC in TBHP-treated chondrocytes. SAC treatment also significantly reduced cartilage ossification and erosion, joint-space narrowing, synovial thickening and hypercellularity in DMM model mice. Collectively, these findings show that SAC ameliorates OA pathology in TBHP-treated chondrocytes and DMM model mice by activating the Nrf2/HO1 signaling pathway.

Abstract
Cutaneous wounds frequently require the use of patches to promote healing, nevertheless, most commercial products are fabricated with non-biodegradable synthetic substrates that pose environmental problems upon disposal. Herein, the partnership between two biobased nanofibrous polymers, namely a polysaccharide (nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)) and a protein (lysozyme nanofibers (LNFs)), is explored to design sustainable fibrous patches with good mechanical performance and biological functionalities for wound healing applications. Two patches with different morphologies were prepared by vacuum filtration of a water-based suspension of both nanofibers and by sequential filtration of the separated suspensions (layered patch). The resultant freestanding patches exhibited high thermal stability (up to 250 °C), mechanical performance (Young's modulus ≥3.7 GPa), and UV-barrier properties. The combination of the bioactive LNFs with the mechanically robust NFC conveyed antioxidant activity (76-79% DPPH scavenging) and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (3.5-log CFU mL-1 reduction), which is a major benefit to prevent microbial wound infections. Moreover, these patches are biocompatible towards L929 fibroblast cells, and the in vitro wound healing assay evidenced a good migration capacity leading to an almost complete wound occlusion. Therefore, the partnership between the two naturally derived nanofibrous polymers represents a potential blueprint to engineer sustainable multifunctional patches for cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
The combination of chemotherapy and photodynamic therapy (PDT) has promising potential in the synergistic treatment of cancer. However, chemotherapy and photodynamic synergistic therapy are impeded by uncontrolled chemotherapeutics release behavior, targeting deficiencies, and hypoxia-associated poor PDT efficacy in solid tumors. Here, a platinum nanozyme (PtNP) loaded reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive prodrug nanoparticle (CPT-TK-HPPH/Pt NP) is created to overcome these limitations. The ROS-responsive prodrug consists of a thioketal bond linked with camptothecin (CPT) and photosensitizer-2-(1-hexyloxyethyl)-2-devinyl pyropheophorbide-a (HPPH). The PtNP in CPT-TK-HPPH/Pt NP can efficiently catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into oxygen to relieve hypoxia. The production of oxygen can satisfy the consumption of HPPH under 660 nm laser irradiation to attain the on-demand release of CPT and ensure enhanced photodynamic therapy. As a tumor diagnosis agent, the results of photoacoustic imaging and fluorescence imaging for CPT-TK-HPPH/Pt NP exhibit desirable long circulation and enhanced in vivo targeting. CPT-TK-HPPH/Pt NPs effectively inhibit tumor proliferation and growth in vitro and in vivo. CPT-TK-HPPH/Pt NP, with its excellent ROS-responsive drug release behavior and enhanced PDT efficiency can serve as a new cancer theranostic agent, and will further promote the research of chemophotodynamic synergistic cancer therapy.

Abstract
Numerous pathological conditions, including cancer, inflammatory diseases, and neurodegenerative diseases, are accompanied by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This makes ROS vital flagging molecules in disease pathology. ROS-responsive drug delivery platforms have been developed. Nanotechnology has been broadly applied in the field of biomedicine leading to the progress of ROS-responsive nanoparticles. In this review, we focused on the production and physiological/pathophysiological impact of ROS. Particular emphasis is put on the mechanisms and effects of abnormal ROS levels on oxidative stress diseases, including cancer, inflammatory disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Finally, we summarized the potential biomedical applications of ROS-responsive nanocarriers in these oxidative stress diseases. We provide insights that will help in the designing of new ROS-responsive nanocarriers for various applications.

Abstract
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels crosslinked with enzyme-cleavable peptides are promising biodegradable vehicles for therapeutic cell delivery. However, peptide synthesis at the level required for bulk biomaterial manufacturing is costly, and fabrication of hydrogels from scalable, low-cost synthetic precursors while supporting cell-specific degradation remains a challenge. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are cell-generated signaling molecules that can also be used as a trigger to mediate specific in vivo degradation of biomaterials. Here, PEG-based hydrogels crosslinked with ROS-degradable poly(thioketal) (PTK) polymers were successfully synthesized via thiol-maleimide chemistry and employed as a cell-degradable, antioxidative stem cell delivery platform. PTK hydrogels were mechanically robust and underwent ROS-mediated, dose-dependent degradation in vitro, while promoting robust cellular infiltration, tissue regeneration, and bioresorption in vivo. Moreover, these ROS-sensitive materials successfully encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and maintained over 40% more viable cells than gold-standard hydrogels crosslinked with enzymatically-degradable peptides. The higher cellular survival in PTK-based gels was associated with the antioxidative function of the ROS-sensitive crosslinker, which scavenged free radicals and protected encapsulated MSCs from cytotoxic doses of ROS. Improved MSC viability was also observed in vivo as MSCs delivered within injectable PTK hydrogels maintained significantly more viability over 11 days compared against cells delivered within gels crosslinked with either a PEG-only control polymer or a gold-standard enzymatically-degradable peptide. Together, this study establishes a new paradigm for scalable creation and application of cell-degradable hydrogels, particularly for cell delivery applications.

Abstract
Fluorescence imaging capability for visualizing tumor microenvironments can play a role in advancing drug discovery efforts, exploring therapeutic efficacy, and thus significantly improving the prognosis. Specifically, we present the design, synthesis, spectroscopic properties, and the targeting diagnosis of a single boronate-appended benzorhodol. Drug release from the prodrug LHX-B-CPT was detected by tackling the fluorescent signal after the addition of H2O2 to the target cancer cells. The prodrug entered the cells via endocytosis mechanisms due to the folate unit, highlighting that the final delivery locations can minutely influence drug efficacy. Thus, this theranostic system is a new therapeutic agent, based on the reasoning that the depletion of H2O2 would be readily detected at the subcellular level by the fluorescence changes.

Abstract
Although a large panel of natural antioxidants demonstrate a protective effect in preventing cellular oxidative stress, their low bioavailability limits therapeutic activity at the targeted injury site. The importance to deliver drug or cells into oxidative microenvironments can be realized with the development of biocompatible redox-modulating materials. The incorporation of antioxidant compounds within implanted biomaterials should be able to retain the antioxidant activity, while also allowing graft survival and tissue recovery. This review summarizes the recent literature reporting the combined role of natural antioxidants with biomaterials. Our review highlights how such functionalization is a promising strategy in tissue engineering to improve the engraftment and promote tissue healing or regeneration.

Abstract
The interactions at the graft-tissue interfaces are critical for the results of engraftments post-implantation. To improve the success rate of the implantations, as well as the quality of the patients' life, understanding the possible reactions between artificial materials and the host tissues is helpful in designing new generations of material-based grafts aiming at inducing specific responses from surrounding tissues for their own reparation and regeneration. To help researchers understand the complicated interactions that occur after implantations and to promote the development of better-designed grafts with improved biocompatibility and patient responses, in this review, the topics will be discussed from the basic reactions that occur chronologically at the graft-tissue interfaces after implantations to the existing and potential applications of the mechanisms of such reactions in designing of grafts. It offers a chance to bring up-to-date advances in the field and new strategies of controlling the graft-tissue interfaces.

Abstract
Solid tumors form a permissive microenvironment with irregular features, including high pressured tumor interstitial fluid with acidic pH, co-adaptation of cancer cells with other cells like the immune system cells, abnormal metabolism and anomalous overexpression of various pieces of molecular machinery. The functional expressions of several oncomarkers in different solid tumors have led to the development of targeted drug-delivery systems (DDSs). As a new class of DDSs, stimuli-responsive nanomedicines (SRNMs) have been developed using advanced nanobiomaterials such as biopolymers that show excellent biocompatibility with low inherent immunogenicity. In this review, we aim to overview different types of SRNMs, present deep insights into the stimuli-responsive biopolymers and discuss the most up-to-date progress in the design and development of SRNMs used as advanced DDSs for targeted therapy of cancer.

Abstract
Herein, we prepared novel reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive core crosslinked (CCL/TK) polycarbonate micelles conveniently by click reaction between amphiphilic diblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(5-methyl-5-propargylxycar-bonyl-1,3-dioxane-2-one) (PEG-PMPC) with pendant alkynyl group and thioketal containing azide derivative bis (2-azidoethyl) 3, 3'- (propane-2, 2-diylbis (sulfanediyl)) dipropanoate (TK-N3). The CCL/TK micelles were obtained with small size of 146.4 nm, showing excellent stability against dilution and high doxorubicin (DOX) loading. In vitro toxicity tests demonstrated that the obtained CCL/TK micelles have good biocompatibility and low toxicity with cell viability above 95 %. Furthermore, DOX-loaded CCL/TK micelles showed significantly superior toxicity with IC50 values for HeLa and MCF-7 cells about 3.74 μg/mL and 3.91 μg/mL, respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) and flow cytometry showed excellent internalization efficiency and intracellular drug release of DOX-loaded CCL/TK micelles. The obtained ROS-responsive CCL/TK micelles showed great potential for anticancer drug delivery.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an important role in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases including atherosclerosis, diabetes, inflammation and myocardial infarction (MI). In this study, a ROS-responsive biodegradable elastomeric polyurethane containing thioketal (PUTK) linkages was synthesized from polycaprolactone diol (PCL-diol ), 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and ROS-cleavable chain extender. The PUTK was electrospun into fibrous patches with the option to load glucocorticoid methylprednisolone (MP), which were then used to treat MI of rats in vivo. The fibrous patches exhibited suitable mechanical properties and high elasticity. The molecular weight of PUTK was decreased significantly after incubation in 1 mM H2O2 solution for 2 weeks due to the degradation of thioketal bonds on the polymer backbone. Both the PUTK and PUTK/MP fibrous patches showed good antioxidant property in an oxidative environment in vitro. Implantation of the ROS-responsive polyurethane patches in MI of rats in vivo could better protect cardiomyocytes from death in the earlier stage (24 h) than the non ROS-responsive ones. Implantation of the PUTK/MP fibrous patches for 28 days could effectively improve the reconstruction of cardiac functions including increased ejection fraction, decreased infarction size, and enhanced revascularization of the infarct myocardium.
