Abstract
Microgels are soft, deformable, permeable, and stimuli-responsive microscopic polymeric particles that are now emerging as prospective multifunctional soft materials for delivery systems, interface stabilization, cell cultures and tissue engineering. Cellulose microgels are emerging biopolymeric microgels with unique characteristics such as abound hydroxyl structure, admirable designability, multiscale pore network and excellent biocompatibility. This review summarizes the fabrication strategies for microgel, then highlights the fabrication routes for cellulose microgels, and finally elaborates cellulose microgels' bright application prospects with unique characteristics in the fields of controlled release, interface stabilization, coating, purification, nutrition/drug delivery, and bio-fabrication. The challenges to be addressed for further applications and considerable scope for development in future of cellulose microgels are also discussed.

Abstract
Despite significant research efforts, hemodialysis patients have poor survival rates and low quality of life. Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are the core of hemodialysis treatment, acting as a barrier for metabolic waste removal and supplying vital nutrients. So, developing a durable and suitable membrane that may be employed for therapeutic purposes is crucial. Surface modificationis a useful solution to boostmembrane characteristics like roughness, charge neutrality, wettability, hemocompatibility, and functionality, which are important in dialysis efficiency. The modification techniques can be classified as follows: (i) physical modification techniques (thermal treatment, polishing and grinding, blending, and coating), (ii) chemical modification (chemical methods, ozone treatment, ultraviolet-induced grafting, plasma treatment, high energy radiation, and enzymatic treatment); and (iii) combination methods (physicochemical). Despite the fact that each strategy has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, all of these methods yielded noteworthy outcomes, even if quantifying the enhanced performance is difficult. A hemodialysis membrane with outstanding hydrophilicity and hemocompatibility can be achieved by employing the right surface modification and immobilization technique. Modified membranes pave the way for more advancement in hemodialysis membrane hemocompatibility. Therefore, this critical review focused on the impact of the modification method used on the hemocompatibility of dialysis membranes while covering some possible modifications and basic research beyond clinical applications.

Abstract
In this work, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) was used to develop a new method to evaluate the protein repellency of microgel coatings. Compared to traditional protocols for surface analysis, QCM has the advantage of a real-time quantitative approach with high sensitivity, allowing us to describe variations of the adsorbed mass with unprecedented accuracy. To enable the detectability of the film throughout the whole operational temperature interval, a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-glycidyl methacrylate) p(NIPAm-co-GMA) microgel monolayer with defined thickness and rigidity was designed. Covalent adhesion of the film to the silica surface was achieved by epoxy-thiol click chemistry and tested for repeated temperature cycles, showing substantial reproducibility. Further functionalization of microgel surfaces by grafting polyzwitterionic chains remarkably improved the protein repellence leaving the strong surface adhesion unaltered. Before and after exposure to fluorescein-tagged bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA), the coatings showed identical responsive behavior, proving the absence of protein deposition. In nonrepellent coatings, QCM monitoring instead displayed a characteristic shift in the volume phase transition (VPT), pointing out the effect of adsorbed proteins on the swelling behavior of pNIPAm. The combination of QCM-D and UV-visible (UV-vis) was used to evaluate the effect of increasing surface coverage, enabling to distinguish between the protein deposition occurring over the coated and the uncoated portion of the sensor.

Abstract
Amphiphilic diblock copolymers containing dopamine and zwitterions are synthesized via the RAFT polymerization method, which undergo temperature-mediated micellization in aqueous media. The presence of catechol moiety in dopamine is exploited to form pH-responsive cross-links with ferric ions (Fe3+ ) at different pH value. Herein, a comprehensive study of the effect of pH as well as temperature on the size and solution behavior of these cross-linked micelles is presented. These micelles cross-linked via metal-catechol coordination bonds can have several important biomedical applications such as degradable scaffolds for payload delivery.
