Abstract
The dysfunction of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), caused by the physical and chemical properties of the inflammatory and repair phases of bone regeneration, contributes to the failure of bone regeneration. To meet the spatiotemporal needs of BMSCs in different phases, designing biocompatible materials that respond to external stimuli, improve migration in the inflammatory phase, reduce apoptosis in the proliferative phase, and clear the hurdle in the differentiation phase of BMSCs is an effective strategy for multistage repair of bone defects. In this study, we designed a cascade-response functional composite hydrogel (Gel@Eb/HA) to regulate BMSCs dysfunction in vitro and in vivo. Gel@Eb/HA improved the migration of BMSCs by upregulating the expression of chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) during the inflammatory phase. Ultrasound (US) triggered the rapid release of Ebselen (Eb), eliminating the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in BMSCs, and reversing apoptosis under oxidative stress. Continued US treatment accelerated the degradation of the materials, thereby providing Ca2+ for the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Altogether, our study highlights the prospects of US-controlled intelligent system, that provides a novel strategy for addressing the complexities of multistage bone repair.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CDDP), as a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, is able to bind to DNA and inhibit cell division. Despite the widespread use of cisplatin since its discovery, cisplatin resistance developed during prolonged chemotherapy, similar to other small molecule chemotherapeutic agents, severely limits its clinical application. Cisplatin resistance in cancer cells is mainly caused by three reasons: DNA repair, decreased cisplatin uptake/increased efflux, and cisplatin inactivation. In earlier combination therapies, the emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in cancer cells prevented the achievement of the desired therapeutic effect even with the accurate combination of two chemotherapeutic drugs. Therefore, combination therapy using nanocarriers for co-delivery of drugs is considered to be ideal for alleviating cisplatin resistance and reducing cisplatin-related toxicity in cancer cells. This article provides an overview of the design of cisplatin nano-drugs used to combat cancer cell resistance, elucidates the mechanisms of action of cisplatin and the pathways through which cancer cells develop resistance, and finally discusses the design of drugs and related carriers that can synergistically reduce cancer resistance when combined with cisplatin.

Abstract
Platinum-based drugs are widely used as first-line anti-tumor chemotherapy agents. However, they also have nonnegligible side effects due to the free drugs in circulation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop efficient and safe delivery systems for better tumor cell targeting. Hydrogel is a promising anti-tumor drug carrier that can form a platinum/hydrogel combination system for drug release, which has shown better anti-tumor effects in some studies. However, there is a lack of systematic summary in this field. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the platinum/hydrogel combination system with the following sections: firstly, an introduction of platinum-based drugs; secondly, an analysis of the platinum/hydrogel combination system; and thirdly, a discussion of the advantages of the hydrogel-based delivery system. We hope this review can offer some insights for the development of the platinum/hydrogel combination system for better cancer therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is one of the most disabling consequences of aging, osteoporotic fractures and higher risk of the subsequent fractures leading to substantial disability and deaths, indicating both local fractures healing and the early anti-osteoporosis therapy are of great significance. Teriparatide is strong bone formation promoter effective in treating osteoporosis, while side effects limit clinical applications. Traditional drug delivery is lack of sensitive and short-term release, finding a new non-invasive and easily controllable drug delivery to not only repair the local fractures but also improve total bone mass has remained a great challenge. Thus, bioinspired by the natural bone components, we develop appropriate interactions between inorganic biological scaffolds and organic drug molecules, achieving both loaded with the teriparatide in the scaffold and capable of releasing on demand. Herein, biomimetic bone microstructure of mesoporous bioglass, a near-infrared ray triggered switch, thermosensitive liposomes based on a valve, and polydopamine coated as a heater is developed rationally for osteoporotic bone regeneration. Teriparatide is pulsatile released from intelligent delivery, not only rejuvenating osteoporotic bone defect, but also presenting strong systemic anti-osteoporosis therapy. This biomimetic bone carrying novel drug delivery platform is well worth expecting to be a new promising strategy and clinically commercialized to help patients survive from the osteoporotic fracture. A novel NIR-triggered three-in-one smart platform was proposed. Highly NIR-sensitive in vivo controlled release and self-regulating pulsatile release can be achieved. Local precise pulsatile release accelerates osteoporotic bone healing. This study focused on the osteoporotic bone regeneration of both skull and femur at the same time.

Abstract
We have designed and developed an effective drug delivery system using biocompatible polymer of poly (ethylene glycol)-polyaspartic acid (mPEG-PAsp) for co-loading the chemotherapy drugs paclitaxel (PTX) and cisplatin (CP) in one nano-vehicle. This study aimed to improve the anti-cancer efficacy of combinations of chemotherapy drugs and reduce their side effects. mPEG-PAsp-(PTX/Pt) nano-micelles disperse well in aqueous solution and have a narrow size distribution (37.8 ± 3.2 nm) in dynamic light scattering (DLS). Drug release profiles found that CP released at pH 5.5 was significantly faster than that at pH 7.4. MPEG-PAsp-(PTX/Pt) nano-micelles displayed a significantly higher tumor inhibitory effect than mPEG-PAsp-PTX nano-micelles when the polymer concentrations reached 50 μg/mL. Our data indicated that polymer micelles of mPEG-PAsp loaded with the combined drug exert synergistic anti-tumor efficacy on SKOV3 ovarian cells via different action mechanisms. Results from our studies suggested that mPEG-PAsp-(PTX/Pt) nano-micelles are promising alternatives for carrying and improving the delivery of therapeutic drugs with different water solubilities.

Abstract
This review focuses on the various formulation approaches that have been explored to achieve localized delivery in breast cancer. The rationale behind the necessity of localized drug delivery has been extensively reviewed. The review also emphasizes the various possible routes for achieving localized drug delivery. Particularly, different types of nanoplatforms like lipid-based drug carriers, polymeric particles, hydrogels, drug conjugates and other formulation strategies like microneedles and drug-eluting implants, which have been used to increase tumor retention and subsequently halt tumor progression, have been deliberated here. In addition, the significant challenges that may be encountered in the delivery of anticancer drugs and the aspects that require careful evaluation for effective localized delivery of chemotherapeutic agents have been discussed.

Abstract
The complexity of hard-to-treat diseases strongly undermines the therapeutic potential of available treatment options. Therefore, a paradigm shift from monotherapy toward combination therapy has been observed in clinical research to improve the efficiency of available treatment options. The advantages of combination therapy include the possibility of synchronous alteration of different biological pathways, reducing the required effective therapeutic dose, reducing drug resistance, and lowering the overall costs of treatment. The tunable physical properties, excellent biocompatibility, facile preparation, and ease of administration with minimal invasiveness of injectable hydrogels (IHs) have made them excellent candidates to solve the clinical and pharmacological limitations of present systems for multitherapy by direct delivery of therapeutic payloads and improving therapeutic responses through the formation of depots containing drugs, genes, cells, or a combination of them in the body after a single injection. In this review, currently available methods for the design and fabrication of IHs are systematically discussed in the first section. Next, as a step toward establishing IHs for future multimodal synergistic therapies, recent advances in cancer combination therapy, wound healing, and tissue engineering are addressed in detail in the following sections. Finally, opportunities and challenges associated with IHs for multitherapy are listed and further discussed.

Abstract
We present optical coherence tomography (OCT)-based tissue dynamics imaging method to visualize and quantify tissue dynamics such as subcellular motion based on statistical analysis of rapid-time-sequence OCT signals at the same location. The analyses include logarithmic intensity variance (LIV) method and two types of OCT correlation decay speed analysis (OCDS). LIV is sensitive to the magnitude of the signal fluctuations, while OCDSs including early- and late-OCDS (OCDS e and OCDS l , respectively) are sensitive to the fast and slow tissue dynamics, respectively. These methods were able to visualize and quantify the longitudinal necrotic process of a human breast adenocarcinoma spheroid and its anti-cancer drug response. Additionally, the effects of the number of OCT signals and the total acquisition time on dynamics imaging are examined. Small number of OCT signals, e.g., five or nine suffice for dynamics imaging when the total acquisition time is suitably long.

Abstract
The interest in injectable hydrogels for cancer treatment has been significantly growing over the last decade, due to the availability of a wide range of starting polymer structures with tailored features and high chemical versatility. Many research groups are working on the development of highly engineered injectable delivery vehicle systems suitable for combined chemo-and radio-therapy, as well as thermal and photo-thermal ablation, with the aim of finding out effective solutions to overcome the current obstacles of conventional therapeutic protocols. Within this work, we have reviewed and discussed the most recent injectable hydrogel systems, focusing on the structure and properties of the starting polymers, which are mainly classified into natural or synthetic sources. Moreover, mapping the research landscape of the fabrication strategies, the main outcome of each system is discussed in light of possible clinical applications.

Abstract
Transient increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is vital for some physiological processes, whereas the chronic and sustained high ROS level is usually implicated in the inflammatory diseases and cancers. Herein, we report the innovative redox-responsive theranostic micellar nanoparticles that are able to load anticancer drugs through coordination and hydrophobic interaction and to fluorescently monitor the intracellular redox status. The nanoparticles were formed by the amphiphilic block copolymers composed of a PEG segment and a selenide-containing hydrophobic polycarbonate block with a small fraction of coumarin-based chromophore. Under the alternative redox stimulation that might be encountered in the physiological process of some healthy cells, these nanoparticles underwent the reversible changes in size, morphology, and fluorescence intensity. With the assistance of small model compounds, we clarified the chemistry behind these changes, that is, the redox triggered reversible transformation between selenide and selenoxide. Upon the monotonic oxidation similar to the sustained high ROS level of cancer cells, the nanoparticles could be disrupted completely, which was accompanied by the drastic decrease in fluorescence. Cisplatin and paclitaxel were simultaneously coloaded in the nanoparticles with a moderate efficacy, and the coordination between selenide and platinum improved the stability of the drug-loaded nanoparticles against dilution. The naked nanoparticles are cytocompatible, whereas the dual drug-loaded nanoparticles exhibited a concentration dependent and synergistic cytotoxicity to triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Of importance, the drug-loaded nanoparticles are much more toxic to TNBC cells than to normal cells due in part to ROS overproduction in the former cell lines.

Abstract
The use of hydrogels in biomedical applications dates back multiple decades, and the engineering potential of these materials continues to grow with discoveries in chemistry and biology. The approaches have led to increasing complex hydrogels that incorporate both synthetic and natural polymers and functional domains for tunable release kinetics, mediated cell response, and ultimately use in clinical and research applications in biomedical practice. This review focuses on recent advances in hybrid hydrogels that incorporate nano/microstructures, their synthesis, and applications in biomedical research. Examples discussed include the implementation of click reactions, photopatterning, and 3D printing for the facile production of these hybrid hydrogels, the use of biological molecules and motifs to promote a desired cellular outcome, and the tailoring of kinetic and transport behavior through hybrid-hydrogel engineering to achieve desired biomedical outcomes. Recent progress in the field has established promising approaches for the development of biologically relevant hybrid hydrogel materials with potential applications in drug discovery, drug/gene delivery, and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Gastric cancer, one of the most common disease, has become a major public health problem worldwide. Cisplatin (DDP) has been a widely used drug for the treatment of cancer, also usually applied in gastric cancer in clinic. However, the side effects including toxicity and drug-resistance restricted the usage of DDP in clinic, so we prepared a DDP-complexed hydrogel (DDP-Gel) and investigated its efficacy in gastric cancer. For in vivo studies, MKN45-Luc cells were injected into BLAB/C node mice subcutaneously to establish gastric cancer with orthotopically grown tumors. Mice bearing tumors were treated with normal saline, DDP and DDP-Gel. Body weight and survival condition were observed and recorded. The treatment efficacy in vivo was detected by luciferase imaging and histological evaluation was performed by H&E staining of different organs. Additionally, normal ICR mice were treated with different doses of DDP/DDP-Gel to calculate their LD50 in vivo. The results showed that DDP-Gel prolonged survival time and ameliorated body weight changes of mice bearing tumors. DDP-Gel exhibited higher efficacy to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis, compared to DDP. Besides, LD50 of DDP-Gel was 166.0 mg/kg, 13.2 folds higher than DDP. As a conclusion, DDP-Gel showed a more effective and safer function than DDP in gastric cancer, which indicating that DDP-Gel might be a novel strategy for gastric cancer therapy.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) contributes to tumor progression through changes induced by tumor and stromal cell signals that promote increased ECM density and stiffness. The increase in ECM stiffness is known to promote tumor cell invasion into surrounding tissues and metastasis. In addition, this scar-like ECM creates a protective barrier around the tumor that reduces the effectiveness of innate and synthetic antitumor agents. Herein, clinically approved breast cancer therapies as well as novel experimental approaches that target the ECM are discussed, including in situ hydrogel drug delivery systems, an emerging technology the delivers toxic chemotherapeutics, gene-silencing microRNAs, and tumor suppressing immune cells directly inside the tumor. Intratumor delivery of therapeutic agents has the potential to drastically reduce systemic side effects experienced by the patient and increase the efficacy of these agents. This review also describes the opposing effects of ECM degradation on tumor progression, where some studies report improved drug delivery and delayed cancer progression and others report enhanced metastasis and decreased patient survival. Given the recent increase in ECM-targeting drugs entering preclinical and clinical trials, understanding and addressing the factors that impact the effect of the ECM on tumor progression is imperative for the sake of patient safety and survival outcome.

Abstract
With the advancement in medical science and understanding the importance of biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of therapeutic agents, modern drug delivery research strives to utilize novel materials and fabrication technologies for the preparation of robust drug delivery systems to combat acute and chronic diseases. Compared to traditional drug carriers, which could only control the release of the agents in a monotonic manner, the new drug carriers are able to provide a precise control over the release time and the quantity of drug introduced into the patient's body. To achieve this goal, scientists have introduced "programmed" and "on-demand" approaches. The former provides delivery systems with a sophisticated architecture to precisely tune the release rate for a definite time period, while the latter includes systems directly controlled by an operator/practitioner, perhaps with a remote device triggering/affecting the implanted or injected drug carrier. Ideally, such devices can determine flexible release pattern and intensify the efficacy of a therapy via controlling time, duration, dosage, and location of drug release in a predictable, repeatable, and reliable manner. This review sheds light on the past and current techniques available for fabricating and remotely controlling drug delivery systems and addresses the application of new technologies (e.g. 3D printing) in this field.

Abstract
The sustained release of both the hydrophilic drug and hydrophobic drug from one delivery system remains challenging in pharmaceutics and biomaterials science. The combination of hydrophilic cisplatin and hydrophobic paclitaxel (PTX) exhibits a clinical survival advantage compared with the individual drug therapy against various tumors such as ovarian cancer. In this study, a localized, long-term codelivery system of cisplatin and PTX was developed using an injectable and thermosensitive polymer-platinum(IV) conjugate hydrogel as the carrier. The thermosensitive Bi(mPEG-PLGA)-Pt(IV) (PtGel) conjugate was synthesized via covalently linking two mPEG-PLGA copolymers onto a Pt(IV) prodrug, and its concentrated aqueous solution exhibited a reversible sol-gel transition upon heating. Meanwhile, the core-corona micelles formed by the amphiphilic conjugates in water could serve as a reservoir for the solubilization of PTX, and thus an injectable binary drug-loaded hydrogel formulation was obtained. We also found that the introduction of PTX into the conjugate hydrogel decreased its sol-gel transition temperature and improved its gel strength. In vitro release experiments showed that both of the loaded drugs were released in a sustained manner for as long as 2.5 months, which was the longest combination delivery of these two drugs ever reported. In vitro cellular assays revealed that the dual-drug system exhibited a synergistic anticancer effect against ovarian cancer cells. Finally, using the SKOV-3 ovarian cancer xenograft mouse model, we demonstrated that a single injection of the PTX-loaded conjugate hydrogel system resulted in enhanced anticancer efficacy and significantly reduced the side effects, when compared with the multiple injections of the free drug combination.
