Abstract
Escherichia coli and other bacteria use adhesion receptors, such as FimH, to attach to carbohydrates on the cell surface as the first step of colonization and infection. Efficient inhibitors that block these interactions for infection treatment are multivalent carbohydrate-functionalized scaffolds. However, these multivalent systems often lead to the formation of large clusters of bacteria, which may pose problems for clearing bacteria from the infected site. Here, we present Man-containing Janus particles (JPs) decorated on one side with glycomacromolecules to target Man-specific adhesion receptors of E. coli. On the other side, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) is attached to the particle hemisphere, providing temperature-dependent sterical shielding against binding and cluster formation. While homogeneously functionalized particles cluster with multiple bacteria to form large aggregates, glycofunctionalized JPs are able to form aggregates only with individual bacteria. The formation of large aggregates from the JP-decorated single bacteria can still be induced in a second step by increasing the temperature and making use of the collapse of the PNIPAM hemisphere. This is the first time that carbohydrate-functionalized JPs have been derived and used as inhibitors of bacterial adhesion. Furthermore, the developed JPs offer well-controlled single bacterial inhibition in combination with cluster formation upon an external stimulus, which is not achievable with conventional carbohydrate-functionalized particles.

Abstract
This study presents the preparation and phase behavior of glycan-functionalized polyelectrolytes for capturing carbohydrate-binding proteins and bacteria in liquid condensate droplets. The droplets are formed by complex coacervation of poly(active ester)-derived polyanions and polycations. This approach allows for a straightforward modular introduction of charged motifs and specifically interacting units; mannose and galactose oligomers are used here as first examples. The introduction of carbohydrates has a notable effect on the phase separation and the critical salt concentration, potentially by reducing the charge density. Two mannose binding species, concanavalin A (ConA) and Escherichia coli, are shown to not only specifically bind to mannose-functionalized coacervates but also to some degree to unfunctionalized, carbohydrate-free coacervates. This suggests non-carbohydrate-specific charge-charge interactions between the protein/bacteria and the droplets. However, when mannose interactions are inhibited or when non-binding galactose-functionalized polymers are used, interactions are significantly weakened. This confirms specific mannose-mediated binding functionalization and suggests that introducing carbohydrates reduces non-specific charge-charge interactions by a so far unidentified mechanism. Overall, the presented route toward glycan-presenting polyelectrolytes enables new functional liquid condensate droplets with specific biomolecular interactions.

Abstract
Pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites continue to shape our lives in profound ways every day. As we have learned to live in parallel with pathogens, we have gained a better understanding of the rules of engagement for how they bind, adhere, and invade host cells. One such mechanism involves the exploitation of host cell surface glycans for attachment/adhesion, one of the first steps of infection. This knowledge has led to the development of glycan-based diagnostics and therapeutics for the treatment and prevention of infection. One class of compounds that has become increasingly important are the glycopolymers. Glycopolymers are macromolecules composed of a synthetic scaffold presenting carbohydrates as side chain motifs. Glycopolymers are particularly attractive because their properties can be tuned by careful choice of the scaffold, carbohydrate/glycan, and overall presentation. In this review, we highlight studies over the past ten years that have examined the role of glycopolymers in pathogen adhesion and host cell infection, biofilm formation and removal, and drug delivery with the aim of examining the direct effects of these macromolecules on pathogen engagement. In addition, we also examine the role of glycopolymers as diagnostics for the detection and monitoring of pathogens.

Abstract
Softness plays a key role in determining the macroscopic properties of colloidal systems, from synthetic nanogels to biological macromolecules, from viruses to star polymers. However, we are missing a way to quantify what the term "softness" means in nanoscience. Having quantitative parameters is fundamental to compare different systems and understand what the consequences of softness on the macroscopic properties are. Here, we propose different quantities that can be measured using scattering methods and microscopy experiments. On the basis of these quantities, we review the recent literature on micro- and nanogels, i.e. cross-linked polymer networks swollen in water, a widely used model system for soft colloids. Applying our criteria, we address the question what makes a nanomaterial soft? We discuss and introduce general criteria to quantify the different definitions of softness for an individual compressible colloid. This is done in terms of the energetic cost associated with the deformation and the capability of the colloid to isotropically deswell. Then, concentrated solutions of soft colloids are considered. New definitions of softness and new parameters, which depend on the particle-to-particle interactions, are introduced in terms of faceting and interpenetration. The influence of the different synthetic routes on the softness of nanogels is discussed. Concentrated solutions of nanogels are considered and we review the recent results in the literature concerning the phase behavior and flow properties of nanogels both in three and two dimensions, in the light of the different parameters we defined. The aim of this review is to look at the results on micro- and nanogels in a more quantitative way that allow us to explain the reported properties in terms of differences in colloidal softness. Furthermore, this review can give researchers dealing with soft colloids quantitative methods to define unambiguously which softness matters in their compound.

Abstract
The detection of tumor cells from liquid biopsy samples is of critical importance for early cancer diagnosis, malignancy assessment, and treatment. In this work, coatings of hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized dual-stimuli responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels are used to study the specificity of breast cancer cell binding and to assess cell friendly release mechanisms for further diagnostic procedures. The microgels are established by straightforward precipitation polymerization with amine bearing comonomers and postfunctionalization with a UV-labile linker that covalently binds HA to the microgel network. Well-defined microgel coatings for cell binding are established via simple physisorption and annealing. The HA-presenting PNIPAM microgel films are shown to specifically adhere CD44 expressing breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7), where an increase in adhesion correlates with higher CD44 expression and HA functionalization. Upon cooling below the lower critical solution temperature of PNIPAM microgels, the cells could be released; however, 10-30% of the cells still remained on the surface even after prolonged cooling and mild mechanical agitation. A complete cell release is achieved after applying the light stimulus by short UV treatment cleaving HA units from the microgels. Owing to the comparatively straightforward preparation procedures, such dual-responsive microgel films could be considered for the effective capture, release, and diagnostics of tumor cells.

Abstract
The preparation of thermoresponsive mannose functionalized monolayers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgels and the analysis of the specific binding of concanavalin A (ConA) and E. coli above and below the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) are shown. Via inhibition and direct binding assays it is found that ConA binding is time-dependent, where at short incubation times binding is stronger above the LCST. Given larger incubation times, the interaction of ConA to the microgel network is increased below the LCST when compared to temperatures above the LCST, possibly due to increased ConA diffusion and multivalent binding in the more open microgel network below the LCST. For E. coli, which presents only monovalent lectins and is too large to diffuse into the network, binding is always enhanced above the LCST. This is due to the larger mannose density of the microgel layer above the LCST increasing the interaction to E. coli. Once bound to the microgel layer above the LCST, E. coli cannot be released by cooling down below the LCST. Overall, this suggests that the carbohydrate presenting microgel layers enable specific binding where the temperature-induced transition between swollen and collapsed microgels may increase or decrease binding depending on the receptor size.

Abstract
The synthesis of carbohydrate-functionalized biocompatible poly(oligo(ethylene glycol) methacrylate microgels and the analysis of the specific binding to concanavalin A (ConA) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) is shown. By using different crosslinkers, the microgels' size, density and elastic modulus were varied. Given similar mannose (Man) functionalization degrees, the softer microgels show increased ConA uptake, possibly due to increased ConA diffusion in the less dense microgel network. Furthermore, although the microgels did not form clusters with E. coli in solution, surfaces coated with mannose-functionalized microgels are shown to bind the bacteria whereas galactose (Gal) and unfunctionalized microgels show no binding. While ConA binding depends on the overall microgels' density and Man functionalization degree, E. coli binding to microgels' surfaces appears to be largely unresponsive to changes of these parameters, indicating a rather promiscuous surface recognition and sufficiently strong anchoring to few surface-exposed Man units. Overall, these results indicate that carbohydrate-functionalized biocompatible oligo(ethylene glycol)-based microgels are able to immobilize carbohydrate binding pathogens specifically and that the binding of free lectins can be controlled by the network density.

Abstract
Adhesion processes at the cellular scale are dominated by carbohydrate interactions, including the attachment and invasion of pathogens. Carbohydrate-presenting responsive polymers can bind pathogens and inhibit pathogen invasion by remote stimuli for the development of new antibiotic strategies. In this work, the adhesion forces of E. coli to monolayers composed of mannose-functionalized microgels with thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly(oligo(ethylene glycol)) (PEG) networks are quantified using single-cell force spectroscopy (SCFS). When exceeding the microgels' lower critical solution temperature (LCST), the adhesion increases up to 2.5-fold depending on the polymer backbone and the mannose density. For similar mannose densities, the softer PNIPAM microgels show a significantly stronger adhesion increase when crossing the LCST as compared to the stiffer PEG microgels. This is explained by a stronger shift in swelling, mannose density, and surface roughness of the softer gels when crossing the LCST. When using nonbinding galactose instead of mannose, or when inhibiting bacterial receptors, a certain level of adhesion remains, indicating that also polymer-fimbria entanglements contribute to adhesion. The presented quantitative analysis provides insights into carbohydrate-mediated bacterial adhesion and the relation to material properties and shows the prospects and limitations of interactive polymer materials to control the attachment of bacteria.
