Abstract
The emerging field of photopharmacology is a promising chemobiological methodology for optical control of drug activities that could ultimately solve the off-target toxicity outside the disease location of many drugs for the treatment of a given pathology. The use of photolytic reactions looks very attractive for a light-activated drug release but requires to develop photolytic reactions sensitive to red or near-infrared light excitation for better tissue penetration. This review will present the concepts of triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion-based photolysis and their recent in vivo applications for light-induced drug delivery using photoactivatable nanoparticles.

Abstract
The rapid growth in the portion of the aging population has led to a consequent increase in demand for biomedical hydrogels, together with an assortment of challenges that need to be overcome in this field. Smart hydrogels can autonomously sense and respond to the physiological/pathological changes of the tissue microenvironment and continuously adapt the response according to the dynamic spatiotemporal shifts in conditions. This along with other favorable properties, make smart hydrogels excellent materials for employing toward improving the precision of treatment for age-related diseases. The key factor during the smart hydrogel design is on accurately identifying the characteristics of natural tissues and faithfully replicating the composition, structure, and biological functions of these tissues at the molecular level. Such hydrogels can accurately sense distinct physiological and external factors such as temperature and biologically active molecules, so they may in turn actively and promptly adjust their response, by regulating their own biological effects, thereby promoting damaged tissue repair. This review summarizes the design strategies employed in the creation of smart hydrogels, their response mechanisms, as well as their applications in field of tissue engineering; and concludes by briefly discussing the relevant challenges and future prospects.

Abstract
The use of ''smart materials,'' or ''stimulus responsive'' materials, has proven useful in a variety of fields, including tissue engineering and medication delivery. Many factors, including temperature, pH, redox state, light, and magnetic fields, are being studied for their potential to affect a material's properties, interactions, structure, and/or dimensions. New tissue engineering and drug delivery methods are made possible by the ability of living systems to respond to both external stimuli and their own internal signals) for example, materials composed of stimuliresponsive polymers that self assemble or undergo phase transitions or morphology transformation. The researcher examines the potential of smart materials as controlled drug release vehicles in tissue engineering, aiming to enable the localized regeneration of injured tissue by delivering precisely dosed drugs at precisely timed intervals.

Abstract
Photoresponsive materials are garnering attention because of their applications toward building a sustainable society. A recently developed fast-photoresponsive amphiphilic lophine dimer (3TEG-LPD) responds rapidly to light, making it a promising candidate for drug-delivery systems. In this study, the mechanism of structural changes induced by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation in 3TEG-LPD micelles in an aqueous solution was investigated via an in situ time-resolved small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) technique. Since subsecond resolution was necessary to observe the structural changes in the 3TEG-LPD micelles, stroboscopic SANS analysis was employed to obtain scattering profiles with a time width of 0.5 s. The structural parameters were quantitatively determined by performing a model-fitting analysis of the SANS results. The stroboscopic SANS results showed that upon UV irradiation, the axial ratio and pseudo-aggregation number of the 3TEG-LPD micelles increased by 1.8 and 1.6 times, respectively, whereas the number of water molecules per surfactant molecule decreased. This finding suggested that the change in the shape of the micelles from spherical to ellipsoidal shape was accompanied by dehydration. Under the present UV irradiation conditions, this structural change of the micelle occurred rapidly during the first 30 s after the start of UV irradiation. Each structural parameter recovered exponentially and reversibly during the recovery process after the cessation of UV irradiation. The changes in these parameters were analyzed in terms of kinetics by comparing them with the changes in the molecular structure. We found that the change of the micelles proceeds approximately twice as fast as the association of the molecule. Furthermore, from the perspective of the critical packing parameter consideration, the SANS analysis revealed that the UV-induced changes in 3TEG-LPD micelles are dominated by the enthalpy contribution. This finding is expected to be useful for developing new materials for various applications.

Abstract
Liposome-based nanoparticles able to release, via a photolytic reaction, a payload anchored at the surface of the phospholipid bilayer were prepared. The liposome formulation strategy uses an original drug-conjugated blue light-sensitive photoactivatable coumarinyl linker. This is based on an efficient blue light-sensitive photolabile protecting group modified by a lipid anchor, which enables its incorporation into liposomes, leading to blue to green light-sensitive nanoparticles. In addition, the formulated liposomes were doped with triplet-triplet annihilation upconverting organic chromophores (red to blue light) in order to prepare red light sensitive liposomes able to release a payload, by upconversion-assisted photolysis. Those light-activatable liposomes were used to demonstrate that direct blue or green light photolysis or red light TTA-UC-assisted drug photolysis can effectively photorelease a drug payload (Melphalan) and kill tumor cells in vitro after photoactivation.

Abstract
Light-responsive rotaxane-based solid-state materials are ideal scaffolds in order to develop smart materials due to the properties provided by the mechanical bond, such as control over the dynamics of the components upon application of external stimuli. This perspective aims to highlight the relevance of these materials, by pointing out recent examples of photoresponsive materials prepared from a rotaxanated architecture in which motion of the counterparts and/or macroscopic motion of the interlocked materials are achieved. Although further development is needed, these materials are envisioned as privileged scaffolds which will be used for different advanced applications in the area of molecular machinery.

Abstract
Membranes have been extensively studied and applied in various fields owing to their high energy efficiency and small environmental impact. Further conferring membranes with stimuli responsiveness can allow them to dynamically tune their pore structure and/or surface properties for efficient separation performance. This review summarizes and discusses important developments and achievements in stimuli-responsive membranes. The most commonly utilized stimuli, including light, pH, temperature, ions, and electric and magnetic fields, are discussed in detail. Special attention is given to stimuli-responsive control of membrane pore structure (pore size and porosity/connectivity) and surface properties (wettability, surface topology, and surface charge), from the perspective of determining the appropriate membrane properties and microstructures. This review also focuses on strategies to prepare stimuli-responsive membranes, including blending, casting, polymerization, self-assembly, and electrospinning. Smart applications for separations are also reviewed as well as a discussion of remaining challenges and future prospects in this exciting field. This review offers critical insights for the membrane and broader materials science communities regarding the on-demand and dynamic control of membrane structures and properties. We hope that this review will inspire the design of novel stimuli-responsive membranes to promote sustainable development and make progress toward commercialization.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive biomaterials may be used to better control the release of bioactive molecules or cells for applications involving drug delivery and controlled cell release. In this study, we developed a Factor Xa (FXa)-responsive biomaterial capable of controlled release of pharmaceutical agents and cells from in vitro culture. FXa-cleavable substrates were formed as hydrogels that degraded in response to FXa enzyme over several hours. Hydrogels were shown to release both heparin and a model protein in response to FXa. Additionally, RGD-functionalized FXa-degradable hydrogels were used to culture mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), enabling FXa-mediated cell dissociation from hydrogels in a manner that preserved multicellular structures. Harvesting MSCs using FXa-mediated dissociation did not influence their differentiation capacity or indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) activity (a measure of immunomodulatory capacity). In all, this FXa-degradable hydrogel is a novel responsive biomaterial system that may be used for on-demand drug delivery, as well as for improving processes for in vitro culture of therapeutic cells.

Abstract
The aggregation behavior of thermoresponsive polyelectrolytes with low charge density in aqueous solutions of organic counterions was investigated. We synthesized two thermoresponsive polyelectrolytes: anionic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-(3-sulfopropyl)acrylamide potassium) (P-NIP-SPAK) and cationic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-(3-acrylamidepropyl)trimethylammonium chloride) (P-NIP-AAPTAC). The polyelectrolytes remained soluble in their aqueous solutions even above the lower critical soluble temperature of P-NIP owing to the strong hydration property of the ionic groups. The aggregation occurred when organic counterions were added to the solution. In these solution systems, the concentration of counterions exceeds those of ionic groups introduced into the polyelectrolytes. The aggregation behavior is attributed to the salting-out effect of counterions accommodated near the polyelectrolyte surface by electrostatic interaction. This aggregation behavior was utilized for the charge-selective recognition of amino acids. P-NIP-SPAK aggregated only when basic amino acids were added under acidic conditions, whereas P-NIP-AAPTAC aggregated only when acidic amino acids were added under basic conditions. The results herein demonstrate that P-NIP-SPAK and P-NIP-AAPTAC have the potential to be used as charge-selective polymer sensors for amino acids without having to strictly control the experimental conditions.

Red Light-Responsive Upconverting Nanoparticles for Quantitative and Controlled Release of a Coumarin-Based Prodrug. Adv Healthc Mater 2023; 12:e2201474.

Abstract
Photolytic reactions allow the optical control of the liberation of biological effectors by photolabile protecting groups. The development of versatile technologies enabling the use of deep-red or NIR light excitation still represents a challenging issue, in particular for light-induced drug release (e.g., light-induced prodrug activation). Here, light-sensitive biocompatible lipid nanocapsules able to liberate an antitumoral drug through photolysis are presented. It is demonstrated that original photon upconverting nanoparticles (LNC-UCs) chemically conjugated to a coumarin-based photocleavable linker can quantitatively and efficiently release a drug by upconversion luminescence-assisted photolysis using a deep-red excitation wavelength. In addition, it is also able to demonstrate that such nanoparticles are stable in the dark, without any drug leakage in the absence of light. These findings open new avenues to specifically liberate diverse drugs using deep-red or NIR excitations for future therapeutic applications in nanomedicine.

Abstract
BODIPY-based photocages release substrates by excitation with wavelengths in the visible to near-IR regions. The recent development of more efficient BODIPY photocages spurred us to evaluate the scope and efficiency of these second-generation boron-methylated green-light and red-light-absorbing BODIPY photocages. Here, we show that these more photosensitive photocages release amine, alcohol, phenol, phosphate, halides, and carboxylic acid derivatives with much higher quantum yields than first-generation BODIPY photocages and excellent chemical yields. Chemical yields are near-quantitative for the release of all functional groups except the photorelease of amines, which react with concomitantly photogenerated singlet oxygen. In these cases, high chemical yields for photoreleased amines are restored by irradiation under an inert atmosphere. The photorelease quantum yield has a weak relationship with the leaving group pKa of the green-absorbing BODIPY photocages but little relationship with the red-absorbing derivatives, suggesting that factors other than leaving group quality impact the quantum yield. For the photorelease of alcohols, in all cases a carbonate linker (that loses CO2 upon photorelease) significantly increases both the quantum yield and the chemical yield compared to those for direct photorelease via the ether.

Abstract
Bone defects, as one of the most urgent problems in the orthopedic clinic, have attracted much attention from the biomedical community and society. Hydrogels have been widely used in the biomedical field for tissue engineering research because of their excellent hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and degradability. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels, as a new type of smart biomaterial, have more advantages in sensing external physical (light, temperature, pressure, electric field, magnetic field, etc.), chemical (pH, redox reaction, ions, etc.), biochemical (glucose, enzymes, etc.) and other different stimuli. They can respond to stimuli such as the characteristics of the 3D shape and solid-liquid phase state, and exhibit special properties (injection ability, self-repair, shape memory, etc.), thus becoming an ideal material to provide cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, and achieve precise bone defect repair. This review is focused on the classification, design concepts, and research progress of stimulus-responsive hydrogels based on different types of external environmental stimuli, aiming at introducing new ideas and methods for repairing complex bone defects.

Abstract
Lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based drug delivery systems have become the most clinically advanced non-viral delivery technology. LNPs can encapsulate and deliver a wide variety of bioactive agents, including the small molecule drugs, proteins and peptides, and nucleic acids. However, as the physicochemical properties of small- and macromolecular cargos can vary drastically, every LNP carrier system needs to be carefully tailored in order to deliver the cargo molecules in a safe and efficient manner. Our group applied the combinatorial library synthesis approach and in vitro and in vivo screening strategy for the development of LNP delivery systems for drug delivery. In this Review, we highlight our recent progress in the design, synthesis, characterization, evaluation, and optimization of combinatorial LNPs with novel structures and properties for the delivery of small- and macromolecular therapeutics both in vitro and in vivo. These delivery systems have enormous potentials for cancer therapy, antimicrobial applications, gene silencing, genome editing, and more. We also discuss the key challenges to the mechanistic study and clinical translation of new LNP-enabled therapeutics.

Abstract
We present for the first time highly stretchable and tough hydrogels with controlled light-triggered photodegradation. A double-network of alginate/polyacrylamide (PAAm) is formed by using covalently and ionically crosslinked subnetworks. The ionic Ca2+ alginate interpenetrates a PAAm network covalently crosslinked by a bifunctional acrylic crosslinker containing the photodegradable o-nitrobenzyl (ONB) core instead of the commonly used methylene bisacrylamide (MBAA). Remarkably, due to the developed protocol, the change of the crosslinker did not affect the hydrogel's mechanical properties. The incorporation of photosensitive components in hydrogels allows external temporal control of their properties and tuneable degradation. Cell viability and cell proliferation assays revealed that hydrogels and their photodegradation products are not cytotoxic to the NIH3T3 cell line. In one example of application, we used these hydrogels for bio-potential acquisition in wearable electrocardiography. Surprisingly, these hydrogels showed a lower skin-electrode impedance, compared to the common medical grade Ag/AgCl electrodes. This work lays the foundation for the next generation of tough and highly stretchable hydrogels that are environmentally friendly and can find applications in a variety of fields such as health, electronics, and energy, as they combine excellent mechanical properties with controlled degradation.

Abstract
The eye is one of the most complex organs in the human body, containing rich and critical physiological information (e.g., intraocular pressure, corneal temperature, and pH) as well as a library of metabolite biomarkers (e.g., glucose, proteins, and specific ions). Smart contact lenses (SCLs) can serve as a wearable intelligent ocular prosthetic device capable of noninvasive and continuous monitoring of various essential physical/biochemical parameters and drug loading/delivery for the treatment of ocular diseases. Advances in SCL technologies and the growing public interest in personalized health are accelerating SCL research more than ever before. Here, the current status and potential of SCL development through a comprehensive review from fabrication to applications to commercialization are discussed. First, the material, fabrication, and platform designs of the SCLs for the diagnostic and therapeutic applications are discussed. Then, the latest advances in diagnostic and therapeutic SCLs for clinical translation are reviewed. Later, the established techniques for wearable power transfer and wireless data transmission applied to current SCL devices are summarized. An outlook, future opportunities, and challenges for developing next-generation SCL devices are also provided. With the rise in interest of SCL development, this comprehensive and essential review can serve as a new paradigm for the SCL devices.

Abstract
Photocages can provide spatial and temporal control to accurately release the various chemicals and bioactive groups when excited by light. Although the absorption spectra of most photocages are in the ultraviolet absorption region, only a few absorb in the visible or near-infrared region. Blebbistatin (Bleb) would release a hydroxyl radical under blue one-photon or two-photon near-infrared light (800 nm) irradiation. In this work, typical chlorine and bromine as leaving groups substituted hydroxyl compounds (Bleb-Cl, Bleb-Br) are synthesized to evaluate the photocage's capability of Bleb's platform. Driven by the excited-state charge transfer, Bleb-Cl and Bleb-Br show good photolysis quantum yield to uncage the halogen anion and the uncaging process would be accelerated in water solution. The photochemical reaction, final product's analysis, and femtosecond transient absorption studies on Bleb-Cl/Bleb-Br demonstrate that Bleb can act as a photocage platform to release the halogen ion via heterolytic reaction when irradiated by blue or near-infrared light. Therefore, Bleb can be a new generation of visible or near-infrared light-triggered photocage.

Abstract
Smart polymer-based micro/nanoassemblies have emerged as a promising alternative for transporting and delivering a myriad of cargo. Cargo encapsulation into (or linked to) polymeric micro/nanocarrier (PC) strategies may help to conserve cargo activity and functionality when interacting with its surroundings in its journey to the target. PCs for cargo phototriggering allow for excellent spatiotemporal control via irradiation as an external stimulus, thus regulating the delivery kinetics of cargo and potentially increasing its therapeutic effect. Micromotors based on PCs offer an accelerated cargo-medium interaction for biomedical, environmental, and many other applications. This review collects the recent achievements in PC development based on nanomicelles, nanospheres, and nanopolymersomes, among others, with enhanced properties to increase cargo protection and cargo release efficiency triggered by ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) irradiation, including light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for propulsion, cargo transport, biosensing, and photo-thermal therapy. We emphasize the challenges of positioning PCs as drug delivery systems, as well as the outstanding opportunities of light-stimulated polymeric micromotors for practical applications.

Abstract
Laser interferometry is a consolidated technique for materials structuring, enabling single step and large area patterning. Here we report the investigation of the morphological modification encoded on a thin film of a photosensitive material by the light interference pattern obtained from a laser operating in multiline mode. Four lines with equal intensity are retained, with the same p linear polarization. An azopolymer is exploited as medium for the holographic recording. Optical microscopy and profilometer measurements analyze the modification induced in the bulk and on the surface of the irradiated area. We show that the intensity profile of the interference patterns of two laser beams is the one obtained assuming each line of the laser as an independent oscillator of given intensity and wavelength, and how these light structures are faithfully replicated in the material bulk and on the topography of the free surface. Patterns at different length scales are achievable in a single step, that can be traced back to both interference fringes and wave envelopes. The proposed multi-wavelength holographic patterning provides a simple tool to generate complex light structures, able to perform multiscale modifications of photoresponsive materials

Abstract
The synthesis of light-responsive nanocarriers (LRNs) with a variety of surface functional groups and/or ligands has been intensively explored for space-temporal controlled cargo release. LRNs have been designed on demand for photodynamic-, photothermal-, chemo-, and radiotherapy, protected delivery of bioactive molecules, such as smart drug delivery systems and for theranostic duties. LRNs trigger the release of cargo by a light stimulus. The idea of modifying LRNs with different moieties and ligands search for site-specific cargo delivery imparting stealth effects and/or eliciting specific cellular interactions to improve the nanosystems’ safety and efficacy. This work reviews photoresponsive polymeric nanocarriers and photo-stimulation mechanisms, surface chemistry to link ligands and characterization of the resultant nanosystems. It summarizes the interesting biomedical applications of functionalized photo-controlled nanocarriers, highlighting the current challenges and opportunities of such high-performance photo-triggered delivery systems.

Abstract
Two different photocaged 2-nitrobenzyl-BODIPY derivatives were designed and synthesized, where the 2-nitrobenzyl phototrigger is either directly attached to the meso position of BODIPY or through a phenoxy linker. The photochemical and photophysical properties of the two constructs were studied and their fluorescence quantum yields were determined. The ultraviolet irradiation of the two photocaged BODIPYs demonstrated a twofold fluorescence enhancement accompanying the uncaging of the BODIPY with the directly attached phototrigger, while the second switchable dyad with the phenoxy linker retains its essentially unaltered emissive behavior.

Abstract
Understanding the spatiotemporal effects of surface topographies and modulated stiffness and anisotropic stresses of hydrogels on cell growth remains a biophysical challenge. Here we introduce the photolithographic patterning or two-photon laser scanning confocal microscopy patterning of a series of o-nitrobenzylphosphate ester nucleic acid-based polyacrylamide hydrogel films generating periodically-spaced circular patterned domains surrounded by continuous hydrogel matrices. The patterning processes lead to guided modulated stiffness differences between the patterned domains and the surrounding hydrogel matrices, and to the selective functionalization of sub-regions of the films with nucleic acid anchoring tethers. HeLa cells are deposited on the circularly-shaped domains functionalized with the MUC-1 aptamers. Initiation of the hybridization chain reaction by nucleic acid tethers associated with the continuous hydrogel matrix results in stress-induced ordered orthogonal shape-changes on the patterned domains, leading to ordered shapes of cell aggregates bound to the patterns.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays diverse biological roles, and its effects in part depend on its spatiotemporal presence, in both intra- and extracellular contexts. A full understanding of the physiological effects of H2O2 in both healthy and disease states is hampered by a lack of tools to controllably produce H2O2. Here, we address this issue by showing visible-light-induced production of exogenous H2O2 by free-standing, gold-decorated silicon nanowires internalized in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. We further show that the photocatalytic production of H2O2 is a general phenomenon of gold-silicon hybrid materials and is enhanced upon annealing.

Abstract
Cross-linked polyacrylamide hydrogels are commonly used in biotechnology and cell culture applications due to advantageous properties, such as the precise control of material stiffness and the attachment of cell adhesive ligands. However, the chemical and physical properties of polyacrylamide gels cannot be altered once fabricated. Here, we develop a photodegradable polyacrylamide gel system that allows for a dynamic control of polyacrylamide gel stiffness with exposure to light. Photodegradable polyacrylamide hydrogel networks are produced by copolymerizing acrylamide and a photocleavable ortho-nitrobenzyl (o-NB) bis-acrylate cross-linker. When the hydrogels are exposed to light, the o-NB cross-links cleave and the stiffness of the photodegradable polyacrylamide gels decreases. Further examination of the effect of dynamic stiffness changes on cell behavior reveals that in situ softening of the culture substrate leads to changes in cell behavior that are not observed when cells are cultured on presoftened gels, indicating that both dynamic and static mechanical environments influence cell fate. Notably, we observe significant changes in nuclear localization of YAP and cytoskeletal organization after in situ softening; these changes further depend on the type and concentration of cell adhesive proteins attached to the gel surface. By incorporating the simplicity and well-established protocols of standard polyacrylamide gel fabrication with the dynamic control of photodegradable systems, we can enhance the capability of polyacrylamide gels, thereby enabling cell biologists and engineers to study more complex cellular behaviors that were previously inaccessible using regular polyacrylamide gels.

Abstract
Dynamically tunable biomaterials are of particular interest in the field of biomedical engineering because of the potential utility for shape-change materials, drug and cell delivery and tissue regeneration. Stimuli-responsive proteins formed into hydrogels are potential candidates for such systems, due to the genetic tailorability and control over structure-function relationships. Here we report the synthesis of genetically engineered Silk-Elastin-Like Protein (SELP) photoresponsive hydrogels. Polymerization of the SELPs and monomeric adenosylcobalamin (AdoB12)-dependent photoreceptor C-terminal adenosylcobalamin binding domain (CarHC) was achieved using genetically encoded SpyTag-SpyCatcher peptide-protein pairs under mild physiological conditions. The hydrogels exhibited a partial collapse of the crosslinked molecular network with both decreased loss and storage moduli upon exposure to visible light. The materials were also evaluated for cytotoxicity and the encapsulation and release of L929 murine fibroblasts from 3D cultures. The design of these photo-responsible proteins provides new stimuli-responsive SELP-CarHC hydrogels for dynamically tunable protein-based materials.

Abstract
Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable) protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to enable non-invasive spatiotemporal photochemical control over the release of species of interest. Recent years have seen the development of PPGs activatable by biologically and chemically benign visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. These long-wavelength-absorbing moieties expand the applicability of this powerful method and its accessibility to non-specialist users. This review comprehensively covers organic and transition metal-containing photoactivatable compounds (complexes) that absorb in the visible- and NIR-range to release various leaving groups and gasotransmitters (carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, and hydrogen sulfide). The text also covers visible- and NIR-light-induced photosensitized release using molecular sensitizers, quantum dots, and upconversion and second-harmonic nanoparticles, as well as release via photodynamic (photooxygenation by singlet oxygen) and photothermal effects. Release from photoactivatable polymers, micelles, vesicles, and photoswitches, along with the related emerging field of photopharmacology, is discussed at the end of the review.

Abstract
In this work, a negatively charged poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium) (PSPMA) brush has been employed as a model system to demonstrate the tuning of the light response of strong polyelectrolyte brushes (SPBs) with counterions. The substitution of K+ counterions by azobenzene-containing counterions (Azo-N+) renders the PSPMA brush light-responsive in aqueous solutions. Nevertheless, the strength of the light response of the PSPMA brush is weak due to the inefficient disassembly of the micelle-like aggregates in the brush upon irradiation with ultraviolet light. Counterion mixtures of Azo-N+ and K+ are employed to realize a strong light response of the PSPMA brush by incorporating a reasonable amount of Azo-N+ counterions into the brush. The strength of the light response of the PSPMA brush can be tuned by the mole ratio of Azo-N+ to K+. Furthermore, properties including the hydration and conformation of the PSPMA brush can be reversibly switched via alternating ultraviolet and visible light irradiation. This work opens up the opportunities available for the use of counterions to tune the light response of SPBs.

Abstract
Axon regeneration constitutes a fundamental challenge for regenerative neurobiology, which necessitates the use of tailor-made biomaterials for controllable delivery of cells and biomolecules. An increasingly popular approach for creating these materials is to directly assemble engineered proteins into high-order structures, a process that often relies on sophisticated protein chemistry. Here, we present a simple approach for creating injectable, photoresponsive hydrogels via metal-directed assembly of His6-tagged proteins. The B12-dependent photoreceptor protein CarHC can complex with transition metal ions through an amino-terminal His6-tag, which can further undergo a sol-gel transition upon addition of AdoB12, leading to the formation of hydrogels with marked injectability and photodegradability. The inducible phase transitions further enabled facile encapsulation and release of cells and proteins. Injecting the Zn2+-coordinated gels decorated with leukemia inhibitory factor into injured mouse optic nerves led to prolonged cellular signaling and enhanced axon regeneration. This study illustrates a powerful strategy for designing injectable biomaterials.

Abstract
Photocages are light-sensitive chemical protecting groups that give investigators control over activation of biomolecules using targeted light irradiation. A compelling application of far-red/near-IR absorbing photocages is their potential for deep tissue activation of biomolecules and phototherapeutics. Toward this goal, we recently reported BODIPY photocages that absorb near-IR light. However, these photocages have reduced photorelease efficiencies compared to shorter-wavelength absorbing photocages, which has hindered their application. Because photochemistry is a zero-sum competition of rates, improvement of the quantum yield of a photoreaction can be achieved either by making the desired photoreaction more efficient or by hobbling competitive decay channels. This latter strategy of inhibiting unproductive decay channels was pursued to improve the release efficiency of long-wavelength absorbing BODIPY photocages by synthesizing structures that block access to unproductive singlet internal conversion conical intersections, which have recently been located for simple BODIPY structures from excited state dynamic simulations. This strategy led to the synthesis of new conformationally restrained boron-methylated BODIPY photocages that absorb light strongly around 700 nm. In the best case, a photocage was identified with an extinction coefficient of 124000 M-1 cm-1, a quantum yield of photorelease of 3.8%, and an overall quantum efficiency of 4650 M-1 cm-1 at 680 nm. This derivative has a quantum efficiency that is 50-fold higher than the best known BODIPY photocages absorbing >600 nm, validating the effectiveness of a strategy for designing efficient photoreactions by thwarting competitive excited state decay channels. Furthermore, 1,7-diaryl substitutions were found to improve the quantum yields of photorelease by excited state participation and blocking ion pair recombination by internal nucleophilic trapping. No cellular toxicity (trypan blue exclusion) was observed at 20 μM, and photoactivation was demonstrated in HeLa cells using red light.

Abstract
Smart or stimuli-responsive materials are an emerging class of materials used for tissue engineering and drug delivery. A variety of stimuli (including temperature, pH, redox-state, light, and magnet fields) are being investigated for their potential to change a material's properties, interactions, structure, and/or dimensions. The specificity of stimuli response, and ability to respond to endogenous cues inherently present in living systems provide possibilities to develop novel tissue engineering and drug delivery strategies (for example materials composed of stimuli responsive polymers that self-assemble or undergo phase transitions or morphology transformations). Herein, smart materials as controlled drug release vehicles for tissue engineering are described, highlighting their potential for the delivery of precise quantities of drugs at specific locations and times promoting the controlled repair or remodeling of tissues.

Abstract
Patterned surfaces have proved effective in guiding stem cells commitment to a specific lineage by presenting highly ordered biophysical/biochemical cues at the cellmaterial interface. Their potency in controlling cell fate can be significantly empowered by encoding logic of space and time control of signal presentation. Here, azopolymeric photoactive interfaces are proposed to present/withdraw morphophysical signals to living cells using a green light trigger in a non-invasive spatio-temporal controlled way. To assess the potency of these dynamic platforms in controlling cell decision and fate, topography changes are actuated by light at specific times to reverse the fate of otherwise committed human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) toward osteoblastic lineage. It is first proved by dynamic change from ordered parallel patterning to flat or grid surfaces, that it is possible to induce cyclic cellular and nuclear stretches. Furthermore, by culturing hMSCs on a specific pattern known to prime them toward osteoblast lineage, the possibility to reroute or reverse stem cell fate decision by dynamic modulation of morphophysical signal is proved. To conclude, dynamic topographies can control the spatial conformation of hMSCs, modulate lineage reversal even after several weeks of culture and redirect lineage specification in response to light-induced changes in the microenvironment.

Abstract
Despite the large number of polymeric nanodelivery systems that have been recently developed, there is still room for improvement in terms of therapeutic efficiency. Most reported nanodevices for controlled release are based on drug encapsulation, which can lead to undesired drug leakage with a consequent reduction in efficacy and an increase in systemic toxicity. Herein, we present a strategy for covalent drug conjugation to the nanodevice to overcome this drawback. In particular, we characterize and evaluate an effective therapeutic polymeric PEGylated nanosystem for controlled pH-sensitive drug release on a breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) and two lung cancer (A549 and H520) cell lines. A significant reduction in the required drug dose to reach its half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50 value) was achieved by conjugation of the drug to the nanoparticles, which leads to an improvement in the therapeutic index by increasing the efficiency. The genotoxic effect of this nanodevice in cancer cells was confirmed by nucleus histone H2AX specific immunostaining. In summary, we successfully characterized and validated a pH responsive therapeutic polymeric nanodevice in vitro for controlled anticancer drug release.

Abstract
Photoresponsive materials have been widely used in vitro for controlled therapeutic delivery and to direct 4D cell fate. Extension of the approaches into a bodily setting requires use of low-energy, long-wavelength light that penetrates deeper into and through complex tissue. This review details recent reports of photoactive small molecules and proteins that absorb visible and/or near-infrared light, opening the door to exciting new applications in multiplexed and in vivo regulation.

Abstract
In the last decade, the use of photolithography for the fabrication of structured substrates with controlled morphological patterns that are able to interact with cells at micrometric and nanometric size scales is strongly growing. A promising simple and versatile microfabrication method is based on the physical mass transport induced by visible light in photosensitive azobenzene-containing polymers (or azopolymers). Such light-driven material transport produces a modulation of the surface of the azopolymer film, whose geometry is controlled by the intensity and the polarization distributions of the irradiated light. Herein, two anisotropic structured azopolymer films have been used as substrates to evaluate the effects of topological signals on the in vitro response of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). The light-induced substrate patterns consist of parallel microgrooves, which are produced in a spatially confined or over large-scale areas of the samples, respectively. The analysis of confocal optical images of the in vitro hMSC cells grown on the patterned films offered relevant information about cell morphology-i.e., nuclei deformation and actin filaments elongation-in relation to the geometry and the spatial extent of the structured area of substrates. The results, together with the possibility of simple, versatile, and cost-effective light-induced structuration of azopolymers, promise the successful use of these materials as anisotropic platforms to study the cell guidance mechanisms governing in vitro tissue formation.

Abstract
Layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly of polymer coatings is a bottom-up fabrication technique with broad applicability across a wide range of materials and applications that require control over interfacial properties. While most LbL coatings are chemically uniform in directions both tangent and perpendicular to their substrate, control over the properties of surface coatings as a function of space can enhance their function. To contribute to this rapidly advancing field, our group has focused on the top-down spatiotemporal control possible with photochemically reactive LbL coatings, harnessed through charge-shifting polyelectrolytes enabled by photocleavable ester pendants. The photolysis of the photocleavable esters degrades LbL films containing these polyelectrolytes. The chemical structures of the photocleavable groups dictate the wavelengths responsible for disrupting these coatings, ranging from ultraviolet to near-infrared in our work. In addition, spatially segregating reactive groups into "compartments" within LbL films has enabled us to fabricate reactive free-standing polymer films and multiheight photopatterned coatings. Overall, by combining bottom-up and top-down approaches, photoreactive LbL films enable precise control over the interfacial properties of polymer and composite coatings.

Abstract
Photoregulation, which utilizes light to remotely control biological events, provides a precise way to decipher biology and innovate in medicine; however, its potential is limited by the shallow tissue penetration and/or phototoxicity of ultraviolet (UV)/visible light that are required to match the optical responses of endogenous photosensitive substances. Thereby, biologically friendly near-infrared (NIR) light with improved tissue penetration is desired for photoregulation. Since there are a few endogenous biomolecules absorbing or emitting light in the NIR region, the development of molecular transducers is essential to convert NIR light into the cues for regulation of biological events. In this regard, optical nanomaterials able to convert NIR light into UV/visible light, heat, or free radicals are suitable for this task. Here, the recent developments of optical nanotransducers for NIR-light-mediated photoregulation in medicine are summarized. The emerging applications, including photoregulation of neural activity, gene expression, and visual systems, as well as photochemical tissue bonding, are highlighted, along with the design principles of nanotransducers. Moreover, the current challenges and perspectives in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Nanomechanical characteristics of end grafted polymer brushes were studied by AFM based, colloidal probe nanoindentation measurements. A high-density polymer brush of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) was precisely prepared on the surface of a flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) substrate oxidized in ultraviolet/ozone (UVO). Exposure times less than 10min resulted in laterally homogeneous oxidized surfaces, characterized by a SiOx thickness ∼35nm and an increased modulus up to 9MPa, as shown by AFM nanoindentation measurements. We have demonstrated that a high surface density of up to ∼0.63chains/nm2 of the well-defined PHEMA brushes can be grown from the surface of oxidized PDMS by surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) from trimethoxysilane derivatives mixed-SAM. The reversible nanomechanical changes of PHEMA layer between extended (hydrated state) and collapsed (dehydrated state) chain upon immersing in selective and non-selective solvents were investigated by in situ AFM nanoindentation analysis in liquid environments. The elastic modulus derived from force-indentation curves obtained for swollen PHEMA grafted chains in water was estimated to be equal 2.7±0.2MPa, which is almost two orders of magnitude smaller than the modulus of dry PHEMA brush. Additionally, under cyclohexane immersion, the modulus of the PHEMA layer decreased by one order of magnitude, indicating a more compact chain packing at the PDMS surface.
