Food Chem 2024; 451:139440. [PMID: 38692245 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139440] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 04/07/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/03/2024]
Abstract
The preservation of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables has attracted attention to the shelf-life reduction caused by high humidity. Herein, alginate/copper ions cross-linking, in-situ growth and self-assembly techniques of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were utilized to prepare a moisture responsive hydrogel bead (HKUST-1@ALG). As the multistage porous structure formation, tea tree essential oil (TTO) load capacity in hydrogel bead (TTO-HKUST-1@ALG) was increased from 6.1% to 21.6%. TTO-HKUST-1@ALG had excellent moisture response performance, and the release rates of TTO increased from 33.89% to 70.98% with moisture increasing from 45% to 95%. Besides, TTO-HKUST-1@ALG exhibited excellent antimicrobial, antioxidant capacity, and biocompatibility. During storage, TTO-HKUST-1@ALG effectively improved the cell membrane integrity by maintaining the balance of reactive oxygen species metabolism. The degradation of cell wall structure and tissue softening were delayed by inhibiting the cell wall-degrading enzymes activity. Briefly, TTO-HKUST-1@ALG improved the storage quality and extended shelf-life of fresh-cut pineapple, which was a promising preservative.

Effect of sub-acute exposure of metal-organic framework-199 on cognitive function and oxidative stress level of brain tissue in rat. Food Chem Toxicol 2024; 191:114866. [PMID: 39002791 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2024] [Revised: 06/26/2024] [Accepted: 07/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/15/2024]
Abstract
Metal-Organic Framework-199 (MOF-199) is a subgroup of MOFs that is utilized in different medical fields such as drug delivery. In the current study, the effect of sub-acute exposure to MOF-199 on spatial memory, working memory, inflammatory mediators' expression, and oxidative stress level of brain tissue has been investigated. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups as vehicle, MOF-199 at doses 0.3, 3, or 6 mg/kg. After four injections of relevant interventions via tail vein during 14 days, behavioral parameters were investigated using Y-maze and Morris Water Maze (MWM) tests. Oxidative stress was measured by ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and thiobarbituric acid-reacting substance (TBARS) tests. The expression levels of TNF-α and IL-1β were assessed by quantitative real-time reverse-transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). No significant differences were observed in working memory, spatial learning and memory of MOF-199 receiving rats. Additionally, the level of oxidative stress and inflammatory genes expression were not remarkably changed in the brain tissues of MOF-199 treated rats. Despite the lack of remarkable toxic effects of sub-acute exposure to MOF-199, more studies with a longer duration of administration are necessary to use this substance for drug delivery systems in diseases related to the nervous system.

Acta Pharm Sin B 2024; 14:3184-3204. [PMID: 39027245 PMCID: PMC11252519 DOI: 10.1016/j.apsb.2024.03.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection remains the leading cause of gastric adenocarcinoma, and its eradication primarily relies on the prolonged and intensive use of two antibiotics. However, antibiotic resistance has become a compelling health issue, leading to H. pylori eradication treatment failure worldwide. Additionally, the powerlessness of antibiotics against biofilms, as well as intracellular H. pylori and the long-term damage of antibiotics to the intestinal microbiota, have also created an urgent demand for antibiotic-free approaches. Herein, we describe an antibiotic-free, multifunctional copper-organic framework (HKUST-1) platform encased in a lipid layer comprising phosphatidic acid (PA), rhamnolipid (RHL), and cholesterol (CHOL), enveloped in chitosan (CS), and loaded in an ascorbyl palmitate (AP) hydrogel: AP@CS@Lip@HKUST-1. This platform targets inflammatory sites where H. pylori aggregates through electrostatic attraction. Then, hydrolysis by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) releases CS-encased nanoparticles, disrupting bacterial urease activity and membrane integrity. Additionally, RHL disperses biofilms, while PA promotes lysosomal acidification and activates host autophagy, enabling clearance of intracellular H. pylori. Furthermore, AP@CS@Lip@HKUST-1 alleviates inflammation and enhances mucosal repair through delayed Cu2+ release while preserving the intestinal microbiota. Collectively, this platform presents an advanced therapeutic strategy for eradicating persistent H. pylori infection without inducing drug resistance.

Abstract
Bacterial infections in wounds continue to be a major challenge in clinical settings worldwide and represent a significant threat to human health. This work proposes novel expandable and versatile methods for solidifying sodium alginate (SA) with metal ions (such as Fe3+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) to create Metal-Alginate (M-Alg) hydrogel with adjustable morphology, composition, and microstructure. It conforms to the wound site, protects against second infection, reduces inflammation, and promotes the healing of infected wounds. Among these hydrogels, Cu-Alginate (Cu-Alg) shows excellent sterilization effect and good efficacy against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) due to its dual antibacterial mechanisms: contact-killing and reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst. Importantly, it exhibits low cytotoxicity and biodegradability. This simple and cost-effective gel-based system has the potential to introduce an innovative approach to the management of wound infection and offers promising new perspectives for the advancement of wound care practice.

Abstract
Nanometer zinc oxide (ZnONPs) offers strong antibacterial, wound healing, hemostatic benefits, and UV protection. Additionally, poly(hexamethylene biguanide)hydrochloride (PHMB) is an environmentally friendly polymer with strong bactericidal properties. However, the synergistic effect of the combination of ZnONPs and PHMB has not been previously explored. The purpose of this study is to explore the synergies of ZnONPs and PHMB and the healing efficacy of ZnO NPs-PHMB-hydrogel on skin wounds in mice infected with Staphylococcus aureus. Therefore, the mice were subjected to skin trauma to create a wound model and were subsequently infected with S. aureus, and then divided into various experimental groups. The repair effect was evaluated by assessing the healing rate, as well as measuring the levels of TNF-α, IL-2, EGF, and TGF-β1 contents in the tissue. On the 4th and 9th days post-modeling, the Z-P group exhibited notably higher healing rates compared to the control group. However, on the 15th day, both the Z-P and AC groups achieved healing rates exceeding 99%. ZnO NPs-PHMB-hydrogel promoted the formation of a fully restored epithelium, increased new hair follicles and sebaceous glands beneath the epidermis, and markedly reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, which was markedly distinct from the control group. On the 7th day, the Z-P group exhibited significantly higher levels of EGF and TGF-β1, along with a considerable reduction in the TNF-α levels as compared with the control group. These results affirmed that ZnO NPs-PHMB-hydrogel effectively inhibits S. aureus infection and accelerates skin wound healing.

Abstract
The constraints associated with current cancer therapies have inspired scientists to develop advanced, precise, and safe drug delivery methods. These delivery systems boost treatment effectiveness, minimize harm to healthy cells, and combat cancer recurrence. To design advanced drug delivery vehicle with these character, in the present manuscript, we have designed a self-healing and injectable hybrid hydrogel through synergistically interacting metal organic framework, CuBTC with the poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). This hybrid hydrogel acts as a localized drug delivery system and was used to encapsulate and release the anticancer drug 5-Fluorouracil selectively at the targeted site in response to the physiological pH. The hydrogel was formed through transforming the gaussian coil like matrix of PVA-CuBTC into a three-dimensional network of hydrogel upon the addition of crosslinker; borax. The biocompatible character of the hydrogel was confirmed through cell viability test. The biocompatible hybrid hydrogel then was used to encapsulate and studied for the pH responsive release behavior of the anti-cancer drug, 5-FU. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the drug-loaded hydrogel was evaluated against MCF-7 and HeLa cells. The study confirms that the hybrid hydrogel is effective for targeted and sustained release of anticancer drugs at cancer sites.

Abstract
Most antimicrobials treat wound infections by an oxidation effect, which is induced by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, the potential harm of the prolonged high level of ROS should not be ignored. In this study, we presented a novel cascade-reaction nanoparticle, Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF, to effectively regulate the ROS level throughout the healing progress of the infected wound. The nanoparticles consisted of a copper/zinc-modified metal-organic framework (Cu/Zn-MOF) serving as the external structure and an inner core composed of Ir-PVP NPs, which were achieved through a process known as "bionic mineralization". The released Cu2+ and Zn2+ from the shell structure contributed to the production of ROS, which acted as antimicrobial agents during the initial stage. With the disintegration of the shell, the Ir-PVP NP core was gradually released, exhibiting the property of multiple antioxidant enzyme activities, thereby playing an important role in clearing excessive ROS and alleviating oxidative stress. In a full-layer infected rat wound model, Ir@Cu/Zn-MOF nanoparticles presented exciting performance in promoting wound healing by clearing the bacteria and accelerating neovascularization as well as collagen deposition. This study provided a promising alternative for the repair of infected wounds.

Abstract
Clinical outcomes for total-pancreatectomy followed by intraportal islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT) to treat chronic pancreatitis (CP) are suboptimal due to pancreas inflammation, oxidative stress during islet isolation, and harsh engraftment conditions in the liver's vasculature. We describe a thermoresponsive, antioxidant macromolecule poly(polyethylene glycol citrate-co-N-isopropylacrylamide) (PPCN) to protect islet redox status and function and to enable extrahepatic omentum islet engraftment. PPCN solution transitions from a liquid to a hydrogel at body temperature. Islets entrapped in PPCN and exposed to oxidative stress remain functional and support long-term euglycemia, in contrast to islets entrapped in a plasma-thrombin biologic scaffold. In the nonhuman primate (NHP) omentum, PPCN is well-tolerated and mostly resorbed without fibrosis at 3 months after implantation. In NHPs, autologous omentum islet transplantation using PPCN restores normoglycemia with minimal exogenous insulin requirements for >100 days. This preclinical study supports TP-IAT with PPCN in patients with CP and highlights antioxidant properties as a mechanism for islet function preservation.

Abstract
Wound healing in diabetic patients presents significant challenges in clinical wound care due to high oxidative stress, excessive inflammation, and a microenvironment prone to infection. In this study, we successfully developed a multifunctional tandem dynamic covalently cross-linked hydrogel dressing aimed at diabetic wound healing. This hydrogel was constructed using cyanoacetic acid functionalized dextran (Dex-CA), 2-formylbenzoylboric acid (2-FPBA) and natural oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC), catalyzed by histidine. The resulting Dex-CA/OPC/2-FPBA (DPOPC) hydrogel can be dissolved triggered by cysteine, thereby achieving "controllable and non-irritating" dressing change. Furthermore, the incorporation of OPC as a hydrogel building block endowed the hydrogel with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The cross-linked network of the DPOPC hydrogel circumvents the burst release of OPC, enhancing its biosafety. In vivo studies demonstrated that the DPOPC hydrogel significantly accelerated the wound healing process in diabetic mice compared to a commercial hydrogel, achieving an impressive wound closure rate of 98 % by day 14. The DPOPC hydrogel effectively balanced the disrupted inflammatory state during the healing process. This dynamic hydrogel based on natural polyphenols is expected to be an ideal candidate for dressings intended for chronic wounds.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs)-based therapy opens a new area for antibiotic-drug free infections treatment. In the present study, chitosan membranes (CS) loaded with two concentrations of copper-MOF 10 mg/20 ml (Cu-MOF10/CS) & 20 mg/20 ml (Cu-MOF20/CS) were prepared by a simple lyophilization procedure. FTIR spectra of Cu-MOF10/CS and Cu-MOF20/CS dressings confirmed absence of any undesirable chemical changes after loading Cu-MOF. The SEM images of the synthesized materials (CS, Cu-MOF10/CS & Cu-MOF20/CS) showed interconnected porous structures. Cytocompatibility of the materials was confirmed by fibroblasts cells culturing and the materials were hemocompatible, with blood clotting index <5 %. Cu-MOF20/CS showed comparatively higher effective antibacterial activity against the tested strains; E. coli (149.2 %), P. aeruginosa (165 %) S. aureus (117.8 %) and MRSA (142 %) as compared to Amikacin, CS and Cu-MOF10/CS membranes. Similarly, Cu-MOF20/CS dressing significantly eradicated the biofilms; P. aeruginosa (37 %) and MRSA (52 %) respectively. In full thickness infected wound rat model, on day 23, Cu-MOF10/CS and Cu-MOF20/CS promoted wound healing up to 87.7 % and 82 % respectively. H&E staining of wounded tissues treated with Cu-MOF10/CS & Cu-MOF20/CS demonstrated enhanced neovascularization and re-epithelization along-with reduced inflammation, while trichrome staining exhibited increased collagen deposition. Overall, this study declares Cu-MOFs loaded chitosan dressings a multifunctional platform for the healing of infected wounds.

Abstract
Citrate-based biodegradable polymers have emerged as a distinctive biomaterial platform with tremendous potential for diverse medical applications. By harnessing their versatile chemistry, these polymers exhibit a wide range of material and bioactive properties, enabling them to regulate cell metabolism and stem cell differentiation through energy metabolism, metabonegenesis, angiogenesis, and immunomodulation. Moreover, the recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance of the biodegradable poly(octamethylene citrate) (POC)/hydroxyapatite-based orthopedic fixation devices represents a translational research milestone for biomaterial science. POC joins a short list of biodegradable synthetic polymers that have ever been authorized by the FDA for use in humans. The clinical success of POC has sparked enthusiasm and accelerated the development of next-generation citrate-based biomaterials. This review presents a comprehensive, forward-thinking discussion on the pivotal role of citrate chemistry and metabolism in various tissue regeneration and on the development of functional citrate-based metabotissugenic biomaterials for regenerative engineering applications.

Abstract
Bacterial invasion hinders the healing process of wound, leading to the formation of chronic infected wound; meanwhile, the misuse of antibiotics has resulted in the emergence of numerous drug-resistant bacteria. The application of conventional antimicrobial methods and wound treatment techniques is not appropriate for wound dressings. In this paper, quaternized poly(vinyl alcohol) (QPVA) and pomegranate-like copper uniformly doped polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA@Cu) were introduced into a gelatin-oxidized carboxymethyl cellulose system to form a multicomponent synergistic antibacterial hydrogel (GOQ3P3). Polydopamine improves the biocompatibility and prevents the detachment of Cu nanoparticles. It can achieve synergistic antibacterial effects through quaternary ammonium salt-inorganic nanoparticle photothermal treatment under 808 nm near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. It exhibits highly efficient and rapid bactericidal properties against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) with an antibacterial rate close to 100%. The gel scaffold composed of macromolecules gives the hydrogel excellent mechanical properties, adhesive capabilities, self-healing characteristics, biocompatibility, and pH degradation and promotes cell adhesion and migration. In a full-thickness wound healing model infected with MRSA, GOQ3P3 controls inflammatory responses, accelerates collagen deposition, promotes angiogenesis, and enhances wound closure in the wound healing cascade reaction. This study provides a feasible strategy for constructing dressings targeting chronic infection wounds caused by drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Background Diabetes impairs wound healing, notably in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). Stress, marked by the accumulation of lipoylated mitochondrial enzymes and the depletion of Fe-S cluster proteins, triggers cuproptosis-a distinct form of cell death. The involvement of copper in the pathophysiology of DFU has been recognized, and currently, a copper-based therapeutic strategy is emerging as a viable option for enhancing ulcer healing. This study investigates genes linked to copper metabolism in DFU, aiming to uncover potential targets for therapeutic intervention. Methods Two diabetic wound Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets were analyzed to study immune cell dysregulation in diabetic wounds. Differentially expressed genes related to copper metabolism were identified and analyzed using machine learning methods. Gene ontology, pathway enrichment, and immune infiltration analyses were performed using DFU samples. The expression of identified genes was validated using qRT-PCR and single-cell RNA sequencing. Results Ten genes associated with copper metabolism were identified. Among these, SLC31A1 and ADNP were found to be significantly differentially expressed in DFU. Notably, SLC31A1 exhibited higher expression in macrophages, whereas ADNP was found to be highly expressed in fibroblasts and chondrocytes. Conclusion The study indicates a close link between copper metabolism, the infiltration of immune cells, and DFU. It proposes that copper metabolism could influence the progression of DFU through the activation of immune responses. These observations offer fresh perspectives on the underlying mechanisms of DFU and identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention.

Abstract
Bacterial infection, hyperinflammation and hypoxia, which can lead to amputation in severe cases, are frequently observed in diabetic wounds, and this has been a critical issue facing the repair of chronic skin injuries. In this study, a copper-based MOF (TAX@HKUST-1) highly loaded with taxifolin (TAX) with a drug loading of 41.94 ± 2.60 % was prepared. In addition, it has excellent catalase activity, and by constructing an oxygen-releasing hydrogel (PTH) system with calcium peroxide (CaO2), it can be used as a nano-enzyme to promote the generation of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to provide sufficient oxygen to the wound, and at the same time, solve the problem of the oxidative stress damage caused by excess H2O2 to the cells during the oxygen-releasing process. On the other hand, TAX and HKUST-1 in PTH synergistically promoted antimicrobial and anti-oxidative stress properties, and the bacterial inhibition rate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reached 90 %. In vivo experiments have shown that PTH hydrogel is able to treat diabetic skin repair by inhibiting the expression of inflammation-related proteins and promoting epidermal neogenesis, angiogenesis and collagen deposition.

Abstract
Skin injury is a common health problem worldwide, and the highly complex healing process poses critical challenges for its management. Therefore, wound dressings with salutary effects are urgently needed for wound care. However, traditional wound dressing with a single function often fails to meet the needs of wound repair, and the integration of multiple functions has been required for wound repair. Herein, Cu2+-chelated epigallocatechin gallate nanoparticles (EAC NPs), with radical scavenging, inflammation relieving, bacteria restraining, and vascularization accelerating capacities, are adopted to functionalize collagen scaffold, aiming to promote wound healing. Radical scavenging experiments verify that EAC NPs could efficiently scavenge radicals. Additionally, EAC NPs could effectively remove Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. H2O2 stimuli-responsive EAC NPs show slow and sustained release properties of Cu2+. Furthermore, EAC NPs exhibit protective effects against H2O2-induced oxidative-stress damage and anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. Physicochemical characterizations show that the introduction of EAC NPs does not disrupt the gelation behavior of collagen, and the composite scaffolds (CS) remain porous structure similar to collagen scaffold. Animal experiments demonstrate that CS could promote wound healing through improving the thickness of renascent epidermis and number of new vessels. CS with multiple salutary functions is a promising dressing for wound care.

Abstract
Synthetic dyes are persistent organic environmental pollutants that can cause extensive damage to living beings and to the ecosystem as a whole. Cost-effective, sustainable, and efficient strategies to deal with this type of pollution are necessary as it commonly resists conventional water treatment methods. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized using the aqueous extract from the leaves, stem, and fruits of Leucaena leucocephala (Leucena) were produced and characterized through UV-vis, TEM, EDS, SDL, XPS, XRD, and zeta potential, and they proved to be able to promote adsorption to remediate methylene blue and tartrazine pollution in water. The nanoremediation was performed and did not require direct exposure to sunlight or any special lamp or a specific reduction agent. The AgNPs produced using the extract from the leaves exhibited the best performance in nanoremediation and also presented antioxidant activity that surpassed the one from butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). Consequently, it is an interesting nanotool to use in dye nanoremediation and/or as an antioxidant nanostructure.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a unique class of nanostructured materials, resulting from the self-assembly of metal ions or clusters with organic ligands, offering a wide range of applications in fields such as drug delivery, gas catalysis, and electrochemical sensing. Among them, HKUST-1, a copper-based MOF, has gained substantial attention due to its remarkable three-dimensional porous structure. Comprising copper ions and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, HKUST-1 exhibits an extraordinary specific surface area and pronounced porosity, making it a promising candidate in biomedicine. Notably, the incorporation of copper ions endows HKUST-1 with noteworthy activities, including antitumor, antibacterial, and wound healing-promoting properties. In this comprehensive review, we delve into the various synthesis methods and activation pathways employed in the preparation of HKUST-1. We also explore the distinct advantages of HKUST-1 in terms of its structural properties and functionalities. Furthermore, we investigate the exciting and rapidly evolving biomedical applications of HKUST-1. From its role in tumor treatment to its antibacterial effects and its ability to promote wound healing, we showcase the multifaceted potential of HKUST-1 in addressing critical challenges in biomedicine.

Abstract
Effectively controlling bacterial infection, reducing the inflammation and promoting vascular regeneration are all essential strategies for wound repair. Nanozyme technology has potential applications in the treatment of infections because its non-antibiotic dependent, topical and noninvasive nature. In wound management, copper-based nanozymes have emerged as viable alternatives to antibiotics. In this study, an ultrasmall cupric enzyme with high enzymatic activity is synthesized and added to a nontoxic, self-healing, injectable cationic guar gum (CG) hydrogel network. The nanozyme exhibits remarkable antioxidant properties under neutral conditions, effectively scavenging reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RNOS). Under acidic conditions, Cu NDs have peroxide (POD) enzyme-like activity, which allows them to eliminate hydrogen peroxides and produce free radicals locally. Antibacterial experiments show that they can kill bacteria and remove biofilms. It reveals that low concentrations of Cu ND/CG decrease the expression of the inflammatory factors in cells and tissues, effectively controlling inflammatory responses. Cu ND/CG hydrogels also inhibit HIF-1α and promote VEGF expression in the wound with the ability to promote vascular regeneration. In vivo safety assessments reveal a favorable biosafety profile. Cu ND/CG hydrogels offer a promising solution for treating acute and infected wounds, highlighting the potential of innovative nanomaterials in wound healing.

Abstract
Regulating the wound microenvironment to promote proliferation, vascularization, and wound healing is challenging for hemostats and wound dressings. Herein, polypeptide composite hydrogels have been simply fabricated by mixing a smaller amount of metal ion-coordinated nanoparticles into dopamine-modified poly(L-glutamic acid) (PGA), which had a microporous size of 10-16 μm, photothermal conversion ability, good biocompatibility, and multiple biological activities. In vitro scratch healing of fibroblast L929 cells and the tube formation of HUVECs provide evidence that the PGA composite hydrogels could promote cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis with the assistance of mild photothermia. Moreover, these composite hydrogels plus mild photothermia could effectively eliminate reactive oxygen species (ROS), alleviate inflammation, and polarize the pro-inflammatory M1 macrophage phenotype into the pro-healing M2 phenotype to accelerate wound healing, as assessed by means of fluorescent microscopy, flow cytometry, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Meanwhile, a rat liver bleeding model illustrates that the composite hydrogels reduced the blood loss ratio to about 10% and shortened the hemostasis time to about 25 s better than commercial chitosan-based hemostats. Furthermore, the full-thickness rat skin defect models showcase that the composite hydrogels plus mild photothermia could proheal wounds completely with a fast healing rate, optimal neovascularization, and collagen deposition. Therefore, the biodegradable polypeptide PGA composite hydrogels are promising as potent wound hemostats and dressings.

Abstract
The development of advanced nanofluidic membranes with better ion selectivity, efficient energy conversion and high output power density remains challenging. Herein, we prepared nanofluidic hybrid membranes based on TEMPO oxidized cellulose nanofibers (T-CNF) and manganese-based metal organic framework (MOF) using a simple in situ synthesis method. Incorporated T-CNF endows the MOF/T-CNF hybrid membrane with a high cation selectivity up to 0.93. Nanoporous MOF in three-dimensional interconnected nanochannels provides massive ion transport pathways. High transmembrane ion flux and low ion permeation energy barrier are correlated with a superior energy conversion efficiency (36 %) in MOF/T-CNF hybrid membrane. When operating under 50-fold salinity gradient by mixing simulated seawater and river water, the MOF/T-CNF hybrid membrane achieves a maximum power density value of 1.87 W m-2. About 5-fold increase in output power density was achieved compared to pure T-CNF membrane. The integration of natural nanofibers with high charge density and nanoporous MOF materials is demonstrated an effective and novel strategy for the enhancement of output power density of nanofluidic membranes, showing the great potential of MOF/T-CNF hybrid membranes as efficient nanofluidic osmotic energy generators.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to restore tissue and organ function without the use of prosthetics and permanent implants. However, achieving this goal has been elusive, and the field remains mostly an academic discipline with few products widely used in clinical practice. From a materials science perspective, barriers include the lack of proregenerative biomaterials, a complex regulatory process to demonstrate safety and efficacy, and user adoption challenges. Although biomaterials, particularly biodegradable polymers, can play a major role in regenerative medicine, their suboptimal mechanical and degradation properties often limit their use, and they do not support inherent biological processes that facilitate tissue regeneration. As of 2020, nine synthetic biodegradable polymers used in medical devices are cleared or approved for use in the United States of America. Despite the limitations in the design, production, and marketing of these devices, this small number of biodegradable polymers has dominated the resorbable medical device market for the past 50 years. This perspective will review the history and applications of biodegradable polymers used in medical devices, highlight the need and requirements for regenerative biomaterials, and discuss the path behind the recent successful introduction of citrate-based biomaterials for manufacturing innovative medical products aimed at improving the outcome of musculoskeletal surgeries.

Abstract
An ideal chronic wound dressing needs to have some properties, such as antibacterial, antioxidant, regulating macrophage polarization and promoting angiogenesis. This work presents a microneedle patch fabricated from oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM-MNs), in which Copper-gallate metal-organic framework (CuGA-MOF) is encapsulated for wound healing (denoted as CuGA-MOF@OKGM-MNs). CuGA-MOF is composed of Cu2+ and gallic acid (GA), which are released through microneedles in the deep layer of the dermis. The released Cu2+ is able to act as an antibacterial agent and promote angiogenesis, while GA as a reactive oxygen species scavenger displays antioxidant activity. More attractively, the material OKGM used to prepare the microneedle patch is not only a drug carrier but also plays a role in promoting macrophage polarization M2 phenotype. In vitro experiments showed that CuGA-MOF@OKGM-MNs had good antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The therapeutic effect on wound healing has been confirmed in full-thickness skin wounds of diabetes mice models, which showed that the wound could be completely healed within 21 days under the treatment of CuGA-MOF@OKGM-MNs, and the healing effect was better than other groups. These indicated that the proposed CuGA-MOF@OKGM-MNs could be applicable in the treatment of clinical wound healing.

Abstract
Conventional collagen-based hydrogels as wound dressing materials are usually lack of antibacterial activity and easily broken when encountering external forces. In this work, we developed a collagen peptide-based hydrogel as a wound dressing, which was composed of adipic acid dihydrazide functionalized collagen peptide (Col-ADH), oxidized dextran (ODex), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and borax via multiple-dynamic reversible bonds (acylhydrazone, amine, borate ester and hydrogen bonds). The injectable hydrogel exhibited satisfactory self-healing ability, antibacterial activity, mechanical strength, as well as good biocompatibility and biodegradability. In vivo experiments demonstrated the rapid hemostasis, accelerated cell migration, and promoted wound healing capacities of the hydrogel. These results indicate that the multifunctional collagen peptide-based hydrogel has great potentials in the field of wound dressings.

Abstract
Diabetic wounds pose a significant challenge to public health, primarily due to insufficient blood vessel supply, bacterial infection, excessive oxidative stress, and impaired antioxidant defenses. The aforementioned condition not only places a significant physical burden on patients' prognosis, but also amplifies the economic strain on the medical system in treating diabetic wounds. Currently, the effectiveness of available treatments for diabetic wounds is limited. However, there is hope in the potential of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) to address these issues. MNPs exhibit excellent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial and pro-angiogenic properties, making them a promising solution for diabetic wounds. In addition, MNPs stimulate the expression of proteins that promote wound healing and serve as drug delivery systems for small-molecule drugs. By combining MNPs with other biomaterials such as hydrogels and chitosan, novel dressings can be developed and revolutionize the treatment of diabetic wounds. The present article provides a comprehensive overview of the research progress on the utilization of MNPs for treating diabetic wounds. Building upon this foundation, we summarize the underlying mechanisms involved in diabetic wound healing and discuss the potential application of MNPs as biomaterials for drug delivery. Furthermore, we provide an extensive analysis and discussion on the clinical implementation of dressings, while also highlighting future prospects for utilizing MNPs in diabetic wound management. In conclusion, MNPs represent a promising strategy for the treatment of diabetic wound healing. Future directions include combining other biological nanomaterials to synthesize new biological dressings or utilizing the other physicochemical properties of MNPs to promote wound healing. Synthetic biomaterials that contain MNPs not only play a role in all stages of diabetic wound healing, but also provide a stable physiological environment for the wound-healing process.

Abstract
The treatment of wounds is a worldwide challenge, and wound infection can affect the effectiveness of wound treatment and further increase the disease burden. Copper is an essential trace element that has been shown to have broad-spectrum antibacterial effects and to be involved in the inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling stages of wound healing. Compared to treatments such as bioactive factors and skin grafts, copper has the advantage of being low-cost and easily available, and has received a lot of attention in wound healing. Recently, biomaterials made by incorporating copper into bioactive glasses, polymeric scaffolds and hydrogels have been used to promote wound healing by the release of copper ions. In addition, copper-incorporated biomaterials with catalytic, photothermal, and photosensitive properties can also accelerate wound healing through antibacterial and wound microenvironment regulation. This review summarizes the antibacterial mechanisms of copper- incorporated biomaterials and their roles in wound healing, and discusses the current challenges. A comprehensive understanding of the role of copper in wounds will help to facilitate new preclinical and clinical studies, thus leading to the development of novel therapeutic tools.

Abstract
The healing of diabetic wounds is hindered by various factors, including bacterial infection, macrophage dysfunction, excess proinflammatory cytokines, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and sustained hypoxia. These factors collectively impede cellular behaviors and the healing process. Consequently, this review presents intelligent hydrogels equipped with multifunctional capacities, which enable them to dynamically respond to the microenvironment and accelerate wound healing in various ways, including stimuli -responsiveness, injectable self-healing, shape -memory, and conductive and real-time monitoring properties. The relationship between the multiple functions and wound healing is also discussed. Based on the microenvironment of diabetic wounds, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic strategies are combined with multifunctional hydrogels. The application of multifunctional hydrogels in the repair of diabetic wounds is systematically discussed, aiming to provide guidelines for fabricating hydrogels for diabetic wound healing and exploring the role of intelligent hydrogels in the therapeutic processes.

Abstract
Chronic wounds are characterized by delayed and dysregulated healing processes. As such, they have emerged as an increasingly significant threat. The associated morbidity and socioeconomic toll are clinically and financially challenging, necessitating novel approaches in the management of chronic wounds. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are an innovative type of porous coordination polymers, with low toxicity and high eco-friendliness. Documented anti-bacterial effects and pro-angiogenic activity predestine these nanomaterials as promising systems for the treatment of chronic wounds. In this context, the therapeutic applicability and efficacy of MOFs remain to be elucidated. It is, therefore, reviewed the structural-functional properties of MOFs and their composite materials and discusses how their multifunctionality and customizability can be leveraged as a clinical therapy for chronic wounds.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and degenerative endocrine diseases are some of the major causes of disability in the elderly. The feedback loop in the endocrine system works to control the release of hormones and maintain the homeostasis of metabolism, thereby regulating the function of target organs. The breakdown of this feedback loop results in various endocrine and metabolic disorders, such as osteoporosis, type II diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc. The direct regulation of redox homeostasis is one of the most attractive strategies to redress the imbalance of the feedback loop. The biophysical regulation of redox homeostasis can be achieved through engineered dynamic hydrogel niches, with which cellular mechanics and redox homeostasis are intrinsically connected. Mechanotransduction-dependent redox signaling is initiated by cell surface protein assemblies, cadherins for cell-cell junctions, and integrins for cell-ECM interactions. In this review, we focused on the biophysical regulation of redox homeostasis via the tunable cell-ECM interactions in the engineered dynamic hydrogel niches. We elucidate processes from the rational design of the hydrogel matrix to the mechano-signaling initiation and then to the redox response of the encapsulated cells. We also gave a comprehensive summary of the current biomedical applications of this strategy in several degenerative endocrine disease models.

Abstract
The regeneration of skin tissue is often impeded by bacterial infection seriously. At the same time, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are often overexpressed in infected skin wounds, causing persistent inflammation that further hinders the skin repair process. All of these make the treatment of infected wounds is still a great challenge in clinic. In this study, we fabricate Cu(II)@MXene photothermal complex based on electrostatic self-assembly between Cu2+ and MXene, which are then introduced into a hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel to form an antibacterial dressing. The rapid adhesion, self-healing, and injectability of the dressing allows the hydrogel to be easily applied to different wound shapes and to provide long-term wound protection. More importantly, this easily prepared Cu(II)@MXene complex can act as a photothermal antibacterial barrier, ROS scavenger and angiogenesis promoter simultaneously to accelerate the healing rate of infected wounds. Our in vivo experiments strongly proved that the inflammatory condition, collagen deposition, vessel formation, and the final wound closure area were all improved by the application of Cu(II)@MXene photothermal hydrogel dressing.

Abstract
In acute skin injury, healing is impaired by the excessive release of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Melanin, an efficient scavenger of radical species in the skin, performs a key role in ROS scavenging in response to UV radiation and is upregulated in response to toxic insult. In a chemical injury model in mice, we demonstrate that the topical application of synthetic melanin particles (SMPs) significantly decreases edema, reduces eschar detachment time, and increases the rate of wound area reduction compared to vehicle controls. Furthermore, these results were replicated in a UV-injury model. Immune array analysis shows downregulated gene expression in apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways consistent with histological reduction in apoptosis. Mechanistically, synthetic melanin intervention increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, decreases Mmp9 expression, and suppresses ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Furthermore, we observed that the application of SMPs caused increased populations of anti-inflammatory immune cells to accumulate in the skin, mirroring their decrease from splenic populations. To enhance antioxidant capacity, an engineered biomimetic High Surface Area SMP was deployed, exhibiting increased wound healing efficiency. Finally, in human skin explants, SMP intervention significantly decreased the damage caused by chemical injury. Therefore, SMPs are promising and effective candidates as topical therapies for accelerated wound healing, including via pathways validated in human skin.

Abstract
Excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) at severe burn injury sites may promote metabolic reprogramming of macrophages to induce a deteriorative and uncontrolled inflammation cycle, leading to delayed wound healing and regeneration. Here, a novel bioactive, anti-fouling, flexible polyzwitterionic hydrogel encapsulated with epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)-copper (Cu) capsules (termed as EGCG-Cu@CBgel) is engineered for burn wound management, which is dedicated to synergistically exerting ROS-scavenging, immune metabolic regulation and pro-angiogenic effects. EGCG-Cu@CBgel can scavenge ROS to normalize intracellular redox homeostasis, effectively relieving oxidative damages and blocking proinflammatory signal transduction. Importantly, EGCG-Cu can inhibit the activity of hexokinase and phosphofructokinase, alleviate accumulation of pyruvate and convert it to acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), whereby inhibits glycolysis and normalizes tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Additionally, metabolic reprogramming of macrophages by EGCG-Cu downregulates M1-type polarization and the expression of proinflammatory cytokines both in vitro and in vivo. Meanwhile, copper ions (Cu2+) released from the hydrogel facilitate angiogenesis. EGCG-Cu@CBgel significantly accelerates the healing of severe burn wound via promoting wound closure, weakening tissue-damaging inflammatory responses and enhancing the remodeling of pathological structure. Overall, this study demonstrates the great potential of bioactive hydrogel dressing in treating burn wounds without unnecessary secondary damage to newly formed skin, and highlights the importance of immunometabolism modulation in tissue repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Metal ions provide multifunctional signals for cell and tissue functions, including regeneration. Inspired by metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), nanosized silk protein aggregates with a high negative charge density are used to form stable silk-magnesium ion complexes. Magnesium ions (Mg ions) are added directly to silk nanoparticle solutions, inducing gelation through the formation of silk-Mg coordination complexes. The Mg ions are released slowly from the nanoparticles through diffusion, with sustained release via tuning the degradation or dissolution of the nanosized silk aggregates. Studies in vitro reveal a dose-dependent influence of Mg ions on angiogenic and anti-inflammatory functions. Silk-Mg ion complexes in the form of hydrogels also stimulate tissue regeneration with a reduced formation of scar tissue in vivo, suggesting potential utility in tissue regeneration.

Fabrication of a three-dimensional printed gelatin/sodium alginate/nano-attapulgite composite polymer scaffold loaded with leonurine hydrochloride and its effects on osteogenesis and vascularization. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 249:126028.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering scaffolds have made significant progress in treating bone defects in recent decades. However, the lack of a vascular network within the scaffold limits bone formation after implantation in vivo. Recent research suggests that leonurine hydrochloride (LH) can promote healing in full-thickness cutaneous wounds by increasing vessel formation and collagen deposition. Gelatin and Sodium Alginate are both polymers. ATP is a magnesium silicate chain mineral. In this study, a Gelatin/Sodium Alginate/Nano-Attapulgite composite hydrogel was used as the base material first, and the Gelatin/Sodium Alginate/Nano-Attapulgite composite polymer scaffold loaded with LH was then created using 3D printing technology. Finally, LH was grafted onto the base material by an amide reaction to construct a scaffold loaded with LH to achieve long-term LH release. When compared to pure polymer scaffolds, in vitro results showed that LH-loaded scaffolds promoted the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, as evidenced by increased expression of osteogenic key genes. The results of in vivo tissue staining revealed that the drug-loaded scaffold promoted both angiogenesis and bone formation. Collectively, these findings suggest that LH-loaded Gelatin/Sodium Alginate/Nano-Attapulgite composite hydrogel scaffolds are a potential therapeutic strategy and can assist bone regeneration.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is one of the most threatening diseases in humans and can result in tissue necrosis, inflammation, and so on. Although a large number of antibacterial materials have been developed, there are still some disadvantages in this field, including decreasing antibacterial activity in the aqueous solution or a short duration of time. Herein, a metal-organic cage named Ag-TBI-TPE with excellent antibacterial activity was prepared and applied in wound healing. Owing to the photosensitive production of the toxic ROS species and the positive charge of the surface, the Ag-TBI-TPE cage exhibits high antibacterial activity, especially under UV irradiation. It could accelerate the healing process of the infected wounds in vivo with satisfactory biocompatibility and bio-safety. The results indicated that after treatment with the Ag-TBI-TPE cage, with and without UV irradiation, the healing rates of wounds infected by E. coli and S. aureus were 89.59% and 93.05%, and 83.48% and 90.84%, respectively, which were much higher than those shown by the positive control group at 51.38% and 67.74%, respectively. This study not only sheds light on a design idea for a new antibacterial material but also further expands the potential application field of metal-organic cages.

Abstract
The employment of metal-organic framework (MOF)-based nanomaterials has been rapidly increasing in bioapplications owing to their biocompatibility, drug degradation, tunable porosity, and intrinsic biodegradability. This evidence suggests that the multifunctional bimetallic ions can behave as remarkable candidates for infection control and wound healing. In this study, bimetallic MOFs (Zn-HKUST-1 and FolA-Zn-HKUST-1) embedded with and without folic acid were synthesized and used for tissue sealing and repairing incisional wound sites in mice models. For comparison, HKUST-1 and FolA-HKUST-1 were also synthesized. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area measured for HKUST-1, FolA-HKUST-1, Zn-HKUST-1, and FolA-Zn-HKUST-1 from N2 isotherms was found to be 1868, 1392, 1706, and 1179 m2/g, respectively. The measurements of contact angle values for Zn-HKUST-1, FolA-HKUST-1, and Zn-FolA-HKUST-1 were identified as 4.95 ± 0.8, 43.6 ± 3.4, and 60.62 ± 2.0°, respectively. For topical application in wound healing, they display a wide range of healing characteristics, including antibacterial and enhanced wound healing rates. In addition, in vitro cell migration and tubulogenic potentials were evaluated. The significant reduction in the wound gap and increased expression levels for CD31, eNOS, VEGF-A, and Ki67 were observed from immunohistological analyses to predict the angiogenesis behavior at the incision wound site. The wound healing rate was analyzed in the excisional dermal wounds of diabetic mice model in vivo. On account of antibacterial potentials and tissue-repairing characteristics of Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions, designing an innovative mixed metal ion-based biomaterial has wide applicability and is expected to modulate the growth of various gradient tissues.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used in wound dressings due to their moisturizing properties and biocompatibility. However, traditional hydrogel dressings cannot monitor wounds and provide accurate treatment. Recent advancements focus on hydrogel dressings with integrated monitoring and treatment functions, using sensors or intelligent materials to detect changes in the wound microenvironment. These dressings enable responsive treatment to promote wound healing. They can carry out responsive dynamic treatment in time to effectively promote wound healing. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive reviews of hydrogel wound dressings that incorporate both wound micro-environment monitoring and treatment functions. Therefore, this review categorizes hydrogel dressings according to wound types and examines their current status, progress, challenges, and future trends. It discusses various wound types, including infected wounds, burns, and diabetic and pressure ulcers, and explores the wound healing process. The review presents hydrogel dressings that monitor wound conditions and provide tailored treatment, such as pH-sensitive, temperature-sensitive, glucose-sensitive, pressure-sensitive, and nano-composite hydrogel dressings. Challenges include developing dressings that meet the standards of excellent biocompatibility, improving monitoring accuracy and sensitivity, and overcoming obstacles to production and commercialization. Furthermore, it provides the current status, progress, challenges, and future trends in this field, aiming to give a clear view of its past, present, and future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The complex hyperglycemic, hypoxic, and reactive oxygen species microenvironment of diabetic wound leads to vascular defects and bacterial growth and current treatment options are relatively limited by their poor efficacy. RESULTS Herein, a functional molecule-mediated copper ions co-assembled strategy was constructed for collaborative treatment of diabetic wounds. Firstly, a functional small molecule 2,5-dimercaptoterephthalic acid (DCA) which has symmetrical carboxyl and sulfhydryl structure, was selected for the first time to assisted co-assembly of copper ions to produce multifunctional nanozymes (Cu-DCA NZs). Secondly, the Cu-DCA NZs have excellent multicatalytic activity, and photothermal response under 808 nm irradiation. In vitro and in vivo experiments showed that it not only could efficiently inhibit bacterial growth though photothermal therapy, but also could catalyze the conversion of intracellular hydrogen peroxide to oxygen which relieves wound hypoxia and improving inflammatory accumulation. More importantly, the slow release of copper ions could accelerate cellular proliferation, migration and angiogenesis, synergistically promote the healing of diabetic wound furtherly. CONCLUSIONS The above results indicate that this multifunctional nanozymes Cu-DCA NZs may be a potential nanotherapeutic strategy for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Chronic skin wound is a chronic illness that possesses a risk of infection and sepsis. In particular, infections associated with antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains are challenging to treat. To combat this challenge, a suitable alternative that is complementary to antibiotics is desired for wound healing. In this work, we report multi-functional nanoscale chitosan vesicles loaded with manganese (Chi-Mn) that has potential to serve as a new tool to augment traditional antibiotic treatment for skin wound healing. Chi-Mn showed antioxidant activity increase over time as well as antimicrobial activity against E. coli and P. aeruginosa PA01. The modified motility assay that mimicked a skin wound before bacterial colonization showed inhibition of bacterial growth with Chi-Mn treatment at a low area density of 0.04 µg of Mn per cm2. Furthermore, this study demonstrated the compatibility of Chi-Mn with a commercial antibiotic showing no loss of antimicrobial potency. In vitro cytotoxicity of Chi-Mn was assessed with macrophages and dermal cell lines (J774A.1 and HDF) elucidating biocompatibility at a wide range (2 ppm-256 ppm). A scratch wound assay involving human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells was performed to assess any negative effect of Chi-Mn on cell migration. Confocal microscopy study confirmed that Chi-Mn tested at the MIC (16 ppm Mn) has no effect on cell migration with respect to control. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of Chi-Mn nanovesicles for wound healing applications.

Abstract
Morbid dermal templates, microangiopathy, and abnormal inflammation are the three most critical reasons for the scarred healing and the high recurrence rate of diabetic wounds. In this present study, a combination of a methacrylated decellularized extracellular matrix (ECMMA, aka EM)-based hydrogel system loaded with copper-epigallocatechin gallate (Cu-EGCG) capsules is proposed to fabricate bio-printed dermal scaffolds for diabetic wound treatment. Copper ions act as a bioactive element for promoting angiogenesis, and EGCG can inhibit inflammation on the wound site. In addition to the above activities, EM/Cu-EGCG (E/C) dermal scaffolds can also provide optimized templates and nutrient exchange space for guiding the orderly deposition and remodeling of ECM. In vitro experiments have shown that the E/C hydrogel can promote angiogenesis and inhibit the polarization of macrophages to the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype. In the full-thickness skin defect model of diabetic rats, the E/C dermal scaffold combined with split-thickness skin graft transplantation can alleviate pathological scarring via promoting angiogenesis and driving macrophage polarization to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. These may be attributed to the scaffold-actuated expression of angiogenesis-related genes in the HIF-1α/vascular endothelial growth factor pathway and decreased expression of inflammation-related genes in the TNF-α/NF-κB/MMP9 pathway. The results of this study show that the E/C dermal scaffold could serve as a promising artificial dermal analogue for solving the problems of delayed wound healing and reulceration of diabetic wounds.

Abstract
Bacterial infections can significantly impede wound healing and pose a serious threat to the patient's life. The excessive use of antibiotics to combat bacterial infections has led to the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria. Therefore, there is a pressing need for alternative approaches, such as photothermal therapy (PTT), to address this issue. In this study, for the first time, CuS NPs with photothermal properties were synthesized using sericin as a biological template, named CuS@Ser NPs. This method is simple, green, and does not produce toxic and harmful by-products. These nanoparticles were incorporated into a mixture (XK) of xanthan gum and konjac glucomannan (KGM) to obtain XK/CuS NPs composite hydrogel, which could overcome the limitations of current wound dressings. The composite hydrogel exhibited excellent mechanical flexibility, photothermal response, and biocompatibility. It also demonstrated potent antibacterial properties against both Gram-positive and negative bacteria via antibacterial experiments and accelerated wound healing in animal models. Additionally, it is proved that the hydrogel promoted tissue regeneration by stimulating collagen deposition, angiogenesis, and reducing inflammation. In summary, the XK/CuS NPs composite hydrogel presents a promising alternative for the clinical management of infected wounds, offering a new approach to promote infected wound healing.

Abstract
Background Wound healing is a continuous and complex process that comprises multiple phases including hemostasis, inflammation, multiplication (proliferation) and remodeling. Although a variety of nanomaterials have been developed to control infection and accelerate wound healing, most of them can only promote one phase but not multiple phases, resulting in lower efficient healing. Although various formulations such as nitric oxide releasing wound dressings were developed for dual action, the nanostructure synthesis and the encapsulation process were complex. Materials and Methods Here, we report on the design of graphene-barium titanate nanosystem to procedural promote the wound healing process. The antibacterial effect was assessed in Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (S. aureus), the cell proliferation and migration experiment was investigated in mouse embryonic fibroblast (NIH-3T3) cells, and the wound healing effect was analyzed in female BALB/c mice with infected skin wound on the back. Results Results showed that graphene-barium titanate nanosystem could generate abundant ROS to kill both E. coli and S. aureus. The growth curves, bacterial viability, colony number formation and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of E. coli and S. aureus all confirmed the antibacterial effect. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay displayed that GBT possesses great biocompatibility. EdU assay showed that GBT plus white light irradiation significantly promoted the proliferation and migration of NIH-3T3 cells. Scratch assay found that GBT could achieve a fast scratch closure compared to the control. In vivo wound healing effect indicates that GBT can accelerate wound repair procedure. Conclusion GBT nanocomposite is capable of programmatically accelerating wound healing through multiple stages, including production of a large amount of ROS after white light exposure to effectively kill E. coli and S. aureus to prevent wound infection and as a scaffold to accelerate fibroblast proliferation and migration to the wound to accelerate wound healing.

Microenvironment responsive nanocomposite hydrogel with NIR photothermal therapy, vascularization and anti-inflammation for diabetic infected wound healing. Bioact Mater 2023; 26:306-320. [PMID: 36950149 PMCID: PMC10027510 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioactmat.2023.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/16/2023] Open
Abstract
Bacterial infection, excessive inflammation and damaging blood vessels network are the major factors to delay the healing of diabetic ulcer. At present, most of wound repair materials are passive and can't response to the wound microenvironment, resulting in a low utilization of bioactive substances and hence a poor therapeutic effect. Therefore, it's essential to design an intelligent wound dressing responsive to the wound microenvironment to achieve the release of drugs on-demand on the basis of multifunctionality. In this work, metformin-laden CuPDA NPs composite hydrogel (Met@ CuPDA NPs/HG) was fabricated by dynamic phenylborate bonding of gelatin modified by dopamine (Gel-DA), Cu-loaded polydopamine nanoparticles (CuPDA NPs) with hyaluronic acid modified by phenyl boronate acid (HA-PBA), which possessed good injectability, self-healing, adhesive and DPPH scavenging performance. The slow release of metformin was achieved by the interaction with CuPDA NPs, boric groups (B-N coordination) and the constraint of hydrogel network. Metformin had a pH and glucose responsive release behavior to treat different wound microenvironment intelligently. Moreover, CuPDA NPs endowed the hydrogel excellent photothermal responsiveness to kill bacteria of >95% within 10 min and also the slow release of Cu2+ to protect wound from infection for a long time. Met@ CuPDA NPs/HG also recruited cells to a certain direction and promoted vascularization by releasing Cu2+. More importantly, Met@CuPDA NPs/HG effectively decreased the inflammation by eliminating ROS and inhibiting the activation of NF-κB pathway. Animal experiments demonstrated that Met@CuPDA NPs/HG significantly promoted wound healing of diabetic SD rats by killing bacteria, inhibiting inflammation, improving angiogenesis and accelerating the deposition of ECM and collagen. Therefore, Met@CuPDA NPs/HG had a great application potential for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Bone diseases including bone defects, bone infections, osteoarthritis, and bone tumors seriously affect life quality of the patient and bring serious economic burdens to social health management, for which the current clinical treatments bear dissatisfactory therapeutic effects. Biomaterial-based strategies have been widely applied in the treatment of orthopedic diseases but are still plagued by deficient bioreactivity. With the development of nanotechnology, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) with adjustable metal ion composition and alterable interlayer structure possessing charming physicochemical characteristics, versatile bioactive properties, and excellent drug loading and delivery capabilities arise widespread attention and have achieved considerable achievements for bone disease treatment in the last decade. However, to the authors' best knowledge, no review has comprehensively summarized the advances of LDHs in treating bone disease so far. Herein, the advantages of LDHs for orthopedic disorders treatment are outlined and the corresponding state-of-the-art achievements are summarized for the first time. The potential of LDHs-based nanocomposites for extended therapeutics for bone diseases is highlighted and perspectives for LDHs-based scaffold design are proposed for facilitated clinical translation.

Abstract
The intricate, tightly controlled mechanism of wound healing that is a vital physiological mechanism is essential to maintaining the skin's natural barrier function. Numerous studies have focused on wound healing as it is a massive burden on the healthcare system. Wound repair is a complicated process with various cell types and microenvironment conditions. In wound healing studies, novel therapeutic approaches have been proposed to deliver an effective treatment. Nanoparticle-based materials are preferred due to their antibacterial activity, biocompatibility, and increased mechanical strength in wound healing. They can be divided into six main groups: metal NPs, ceramic NPs, polymer NPs, self-assembled NPs, composite NPs, and nanoparticle-loaded hydrogels. Each group shows several advantages and disadvantages, and which material will be used depends on the type, depth, and area of the wound. Better wound care/healing techniques are now possible, thanks to the development of wound healing strategies based on these materials, which mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment of the wound. Bearing this in mind, here we reviewed current studies on which NPs have been used in wound healing and how this strategy has become a key biotechnological procedure to treat skin infections and wounds.

Abstract
In situ bioprinting has emerged as an attractive tool for directly depositing therapy ink at the defective area to adapt to the irregular wound shape. However, traditional bioprinting exhibits an obvious limitation in terms of an unsatisfactory bioadhesive effect. Here, a portable handheld bioprinter loaded with biomaterial ink is designed and named "SkinPen". Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and Cu-containing bioactive glass nanoparticles (Cu-BGn) serve as the main components to form the hydrogel ink, which displays excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial and angiogenic properties. More importantly, by introducing ultrasound and ultraviolet in a sequential programmed manner, the SkinPen achieves in situ instant gelation and amplified (more than threefold) bioadhesive shear strength. It is suggested that ultrasound-induced cavitation and the resulting topological entanglement contribute to the enhanced bioadhesive performance together. Combining the ultrasound-enhanced bioadhesion with the curative role of the hydrogel, the SkinPen shows a satisfactory wound-healing effect in diabetic rats. Given the detachable property of the SkinPen, the whole device can be put in a first-aid kit. Therefore, the application scenarios can be expanded to many kinds of accidents. Overall, this work presents a portable handheld SkinPen that might provide a facile but effective approach for clinical wound management.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) based metal-polyphenol nanoformulations alleviates chondrocytes inflammation by modulating synovial macrophages polarization. Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 161:114366. [PMID: 36857913 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.114366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
The activation of M1-type macrophages are dominant cells secreting proinflammatory present within the inflamed synovium in the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Increased oxidative stress, such as redundant ROS and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), are important factors in driving macrophages to polarize into M1 type. In this study, metal-polyphenol nanoformulations (Cu-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (Cu-EGCG) nanosheets) were synthesized through the coordination interaction between EGCG and copper ions, which possessed the antioxidant effect of EGCG and anti-inflammatory of Cu2+. Results showed that Cu-EGCG nanosheets were biocompatible and the Cu2+ could be sustained released from the nanoparticles. Cu-EGCG nanosheets with multienzyme-like antioxidative activity could effectively scavenge the excessive intracellular ROS, leading to significantly decreased expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, which could reduce the expression of M1-type macrophages and exhibit excellent promotion on shifting macrophages to M2 phenotypes. Moreover, the secreted factor from the cell supernatant of Cu-EGCG treated macrophages exhibited anti-inflammatory potential in chondrocytes of inflamed synovial joints. This study suggests a novel strategy for OA therapy by using metal-polyphenol nanoformulations targeting macrophages.

Recapitulating Antioxidant and Antibacterial Compounds into a Package for Tissue Regeneration: Dual Function Materials with Synergistic Effect. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2023; 19:e2207057.

Abstract
Oxidative damage and infection can prevent or delay tissue repair. Moreover, infection reinforces reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, which makes the wound's condition even worse. Therefore, the need for antioxidant and antibacterial agents is felt for tissue regeneration. There are emerging up-and-coming biomaterials that recapitulate both properties into a package, offering an effective solution to turn the wound back into a healing state. In this article, the principles of antioxidant and antibacterial activity are summarized. The review starts with biological aspects, getting the readers to familiarize themselves with tissue barriers against infection. This is followed by the chemistry and mechanism of action of antioxidant and antibacterial materials (dual function). Eventually, the outlook and challenges are underlined to provide where the dual-function biomaterials are and where they are going in the future. It is expected that the present article inspires the designing of dual-function biomaterials to more advanced levels by providing the fundamentals and comparative points of view and paving the clinical way for these materials.
