Abstract
Albumin is derived from blood plasma and is the most abundant protein in blood plasma, which has good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and degradability, so albumin is an ideal biomaterial for biomedical applications, and drug-carriers based on albumin can better reduce the cytotoxicity of drug. Currently, there are numerous reviews summarizing the research progress on drug-loaded albumin molecules or nanoparticles. In comparison, the study of albumin-based hydrogels is a relatively small area of research, and few articles have systematically summarized the research progress of albumin-based hydrogels, especially for drug delivery and tissue engineering. Thus, this review summarizes the functional features and preparation methods of albumin-based hydrogels, different types of albumin-based hydrogels and their applications in antitumor drugs, tissue regeneration engineering, etc. Also, potential directions for future research on albumin-based hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogels as ideal material are widely used in biomedical field against bacterial infection. Hydrogels synthesized from natural protein possess better biocompatibility than that synthesized from synthetic polymers. In this work, we designed bovine serum albumin (BSA) based hydrogel via double dynamic crosslinking. The cleavage and rearrangement of disulfide bonds of BSA triggered by glutathione (GSH) forms a disulfide bridge network, and tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium sulfate (THPS) grafts the amino groups of BSA by a Mannich-type reaction to form a second network. Integrating THPS into the BSA/GSH system enables gel formation and endows excellent antimicrobial properties. Rheological tests showed the hydrogel featuring elasticity, good mechanical strength and self-healing properties. Antibacterial and cytotoxicity tests proved the hydrogel excellent bacteriostatic ability and low cytotoxicity. This albumin-based hydrogel with low cost is expected to realize wide biomedical applications.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to develop a controlled and water-soluble delivery system for doxorubicin (DOX) based on the coating of graphene (G) with a smart polymer. A combination of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and G–DOX is investigated by performing density functional theory (DFT) calculations and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Several parameters have been employed to evaluate the effect of PEI on the adsorption and release mechanisms of DOX. The obtained results indicated that the binding energy of the drug molecule on G in the presence of PEI is enhanced by about 20% under neutral conditions, whereas the drug absorption becomes weaker in an acidic environment so that DOX could be separated from the carrier surface using near-infrared radiation (NIR). Based on the atom in molecule (AIM) theory, two hydrogen bonds with strengths of about −12.59 and −39.99 kJ mol−1 have been established. Furthermore, evaluating the dynamic behavior of the designed systems in water solution shows that the polymer in physiological pH rapidly adsorbed on the drug–carrier complex. However, at acidic pH, it is quickly desorbed from the carrier surface and the G–DOX complex can be exposed to cancer cells. The obtained results of the present research may be used in future experimental work to design smart DDSs. The objective of this study is to develop a controlled and water-soluble delivery system for doxorubicin (DOX) based on the coating of graphene (G) with a smart polymer.![]()

Abstract
This review describes some commercially available stimuli-responsive polymers of natural and synthetic origin, and their applications in drug delivery and textiles. The polymers of natural origin such as chitosan, cellulose, albumin, and gelatin are found to show both thermo-responsive and pH-responsive properties and these features of the biopolymers impart sensitivity to act differently under different temperatures and pH conditions. The stimuli-responsive characters of these natural polymers have been discussed in the review, and their respective applications in drug delivery and textile especially for textile-based transdermal therapy have been emphasized. Some practically important thermo-responsive polymers such as pluronic F127 (PF127) and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAAm) of synthetic origin have been discussed in the review and they are of great importance commercially because of their in situ gel formation capacity. Some pH-responsive synthetic polymers have been discussed depending on their surface charge, and their drug delivery and textile applications have been discussed in this review. The selected stimuli-responsive polymers of synthetic origin are commercially available. Above all, the applications of bio-based or synthetic stimuli-responsive polymers in textile-based transdermal therapy are given special regard apart from their general drug delivery applications. A special insight has been given for stimuli-responsive hydrogel drug delivery systems for textile-based transdermal therapy, which is critical for the treatment of skin disease atopic dermatitis.

Abstract
Serum albumin can be transformed to a stimuli (pH and redox) responsive hydrogel using the reduction process followed by oxidative refolding. The preparation of albumin hydrogel involves a range of concentrations (75, 150, 300, 450, 600 and 750 μM) and pH (2.0-10.0) values and the gelation begins at a concentration of 150 μM and 4.5-8.0 pH value. The hydrogel shows maximum swelling at alkali pH (pH > 9.0). The increase in albumin concentration increases hydrogel stability, rheological property, compressive strength, proteolytic resistance and rate of in vivo biodegradation. Based on the observed physical and biological properties of albumin hydrogel, 450 μM was determined to be an optimum concentration for further experiments. In addition, the hemo- and cytocompatibility analyses revealed the biocompatibility nature of albumin hydrogel. The experiments on in vitro drug (Tetracycline) delivery were carried out under non reducing and reducing conditions that resulted in the sustained and fast release of the drug, respectively. The methodology used in the preparation of albumin hydrogel may lead to the development of autogenic tissue constructs. In addition, the methodology can have various applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Abstract
The chemical structure and function of biomacromolecules has evolved to fill many essential roles in biological systems. More specifically, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and polysaccharides serve as vital structural components, and mediate chemical transformations and energy/information storage processes required to sustain life. In many cases, the properties and applications of biological macromolecules can be further expanded by attaching synthetic macromolecules. The modification of biomacromolecules by attaching a polymer that changes its properties in response to environmental variations, thus affecting the properties of the biomacromolecule, has led to the emergence of a new family of polymeric biomaterials. Here, we summarize techniques for conjugating responsive polymers to biomacromolecules and highlight applications of these bioconjugates reported so far. In doing so, we aim to show how advances in synthetic tools could lead to rapid expansion in the variety and uses of responsive bioconjugates.

Abstract
Hydrogels play an important role in macroscale delivery systems by enabling the transport of cells and molecules. Here we present a facile and benign method to prepare a dextran-based hydrogel (Dex-sHSA) using human serum albumin (HSA) as a simultaneous drug carrier and covalent cross-linker. Drug binding affinity of the albumin protein was conserved in the thiolation step using 2-iminothiolane and subsequently, in the in situ gelation step. Oscillation rheometry studies confirmed the formation of a three-dimensional viscoelastic network upon reaction of dextran and the HSA protein. The mechanical properties of Dex-sHSA hydrogel can be tuned by the protein concentration, and the degree of thiolation of sHSA. Sustained release of hydrophobic drugs, such as ibuprofen, paclitaxel and dexamethasone, from the Dex-sHSA network was shown over one week. Hence, this albumin-based dextran hydrogel system demonstrates its potential as a macroscale delivery system of hydrophobic therapeutics for a wide range of biomedical applications.
