Abstract
Inspired by ocean organisms, scientists have been developing adhesives for application in the marine environment. However, water and high salinity, which not only weaken the interfacial bonding by the hydration layer but also induce the deterioration of adhesives by erosion, swelling, hydrolysis, or plasticization, are detrimental to adhesion, resulting in specific challenges in the development of under-seawater adhesives. In this focus review, current adhesives that are capable of macroscopic adhesion in seawater were summarized. The design strategies and performance of these adhesives were reviewed based on their bonding methods. Finally, some future research directions and perspectives for under-seawater adhesives were discussed.

Abstract
Currently, tumor treatments are characterized by intelligence, diversity and personalization, but the therapeutic reagents used are often limited in clinical efficacy due to problems with water solubility, targeting, stability and multidrug resistance. To remedy these shortcomings, the application of multifunctional nanotechnology in the biomedical field has been widely studied. Synthetic melanin nanoparticles (MNPs) surfaces which contain highly reactive chemical groups such as carboxyl, hydroxyl and amine groups, can be used as a reaction platform on which to graft different functional components. In addition, MNPs easily adhere to substrate surface, and serve as a secondary reaction platform to modify it. The multifunctionality and intrinsic biocompatibility make melanin-like nanoparticles promising as a multifunctional and powerful nanoplatform for oncological applications. This paper first reviews the preparation methods, polymerization mechanisms and physicochemical properties of melanin including natural melanin and chemically synthesized melanin to guide scholars in MNP-based design. Then, recent advances in MNPs especially synthetic polydopamine (PDA) melanin for various medical oncological applications are systematically and thoroughly described, mainly focusing on bioimaging, photothermal therapy (PTT), and drug delivery for tumor therapy. Finally, based on the investigated literature, the current challenges and future directions for clinical translation are reasonably discussed, focusing on the innovative design of MNPs and further elucidation of pharmacokinetics. This paper is a timely and comprehensive and detailed study of the progress of MNPs in tumor therapy, especially PTT, and provides ideas for the design of personalized and customizable oncology nanomedicines to address the heterogeneity of the tumor microenvironment.

The comparison of biological effects of bacterial and synthetic melanins in neuroblastoma cells. Food Chem Toxicol 2022; 168:113355.

Abstract
Melanins belong to a group of pigments of different structure and origin. They can be produced synthetically or isolated from living organisms. A number of studies have reported testing of various melanins in neurological studies providing different outcomes. Because the structure of melanins can have an effect on obtained results in cell toxicity studies, we present here our original study which aimed to compare the biological effects of bacterial melanin (biotechnologically obtained from B. thuringiensis) with that of synthetic melanin in neuroblastoma cells. Both melanins were structurally characterized in detail. After melanin treatment (0-200 μg/mL), cell viability, glutathione levels, cell morphology and respiration were assessed in SH-SY5Y cells. The structural analysis showed that bacterial melanin is more hydrophilic according to the presence of larger number of -OH moieties. After melanin treatment, we found that synthetic melanin at similar dosage caused always larger cell impairment compared to bacterial melanin. In addition, more severe toxic effect of synthetic melanin was found in mitochondria. In general, we conclude that more hydrophilic, bacterial melanin induced lower toxicity in neuroblastoma cells in comparison to synthetic melanin. Our findings can be useable for neuroscientific studies estimating the potential use for study of neuroprotection, neuromodulation or neurotoxicity.

Abstract
The translation of mussel-inspired wet adhesion to biomedical engineering fields have catalyzed the emergence of polydopamine (PDA)-based nanomaterials with privileged features and properties of conducting multiple interfacial interactions. Recent concerns and progress on the understanding of PDA's hierarchical structure and progressive assembly are inspiring approaches toward novel nanostructures with property and function advantages over simple nanoparticle architectures. Major breakthroughs in this field demonstrated the essential role of π-π stacking and π-cation interactions in the rational intervention of PDA self-assembly. In this review, the recently emerging concepts in the preparation and application of PDA nanomaterials, including 3D mesostructures, low-dimensional nanostructures, micelle/nanoemulsion based nanoclusters, as well as other multicomponent nanohybrids by the segregation and organization of PDA building blocks on nanoscale interfaces are outlined. The contribution of π-electron interactions on the interfacial loading/release of π electron-rich molecules (nucleic acids, drugs, photosensitizers) and the exogenous coupling of optical energy, as well as the impact of wet-adhesion interactions on the nano-bio interface interplay, are highlighted by discussing the structure-property relationships in their featured applications including fluorescent biosensing, gene therapy, drug delivery, phototherapy, combined therapy, etc. The limitations of current explorations, and future research directions are also discussed.

Abstract
A multifunctional and effective medical adhesive with a combination of high toughness and superior adhesion is highly desired in biomedical fields. However, clinical application of medical adhesives is still limited due to their weak adhesion to wet tissue. In this study, a novel medical adhesive called TASK composed of tannic acid (TA) and silk fibroin (SF) based on polyphenol-gel systems was developed. TASK powder was prepared by a simple physical mixture of pyrogallol-rich tannic acid and silk fibroin in aqueous solution and further freeze drying, which was stable and convenient for sterilization before clinical application. The TASK composite gel was formed by just adding water to the TASK powder. TASK showed improved wet-adhesive properties and stability; its adhesion strength after 5 h in water reached 180.9 ± 27.4 kPa. ATR-FTIR results indicated that the plentiful phenolic hydroxyl groups in TA allowed TASK to maintain adhesion to tissue in a wet environment. Furthermore, no chemical modification or covalent cross-linking was required for this wet-adhesive TASK which may facilitate its clinical application.

Abstract
Autoxidation of dopamine to polydopamine by dissolved oxygen is a slow process that requires highly alkaline conditions. Polydopamine can be formed rapidly also in mildly acidic and neutral solutions by using redox-active transition-metal ions. We present a comparative study of polydopamine nanoparticles formed by autoxidation and aerobic or anaerobic oxidation in the presence of Ce(IV), Fe(III), Cu(II), and Mn(VII). The UV-vis spectra of the purified nanoparticles are similar, and dopaminechrome is an early intermediate species. At low pH, Cu(II) requires the presence of oxygen and chloride ions to produce polydopamine at a reasonable rate. The changes in dispersibility and surface charge take place at around pH 4, which indicates the presence of ionizable groups, especially carboxylic acids, on their surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows the presence of three different classes of carbons, and the carbonyl/carboxylate carbons amount to 5-15 atom %. The N 1s spectra show the presence of protonated free amino groups, suggesting that these groups may interact with the π-electrons of the intact aromatic dihydroxyindole moieties, especially in the metal-induced samples. The autoxidized and Mn(VII)-induced samples do not contain metals, but the metal content is 1-2 atom % in samples prepared with Ce(IV) or Cu(II), and ca. 20 atom % in polydopamine prepared in the presence of Fe(III). These differences in the metal content can be explained by the oxidation and complexation properties of the metals using the general model developed. In addition, the nitrogen content is lower in the metal-induced samples. All of the metal oxidants studied can be used to rapidly prepare polydopamine at room temperature, but the possible influence of the metal content and nitrogen loss should be taken into account.

Abstract
The photo-induced reconfigurable assembly of nanostructures via the simultaneous noncovalent and covalent polymerization of a functional ferrocene-tyrosine (Fc-Y) molecule is reported. The Fc-Y monomers can directly self-assemble into nanospheres with a smooth surface driven by noncovalent interactions. By covalent photo-crosslinking of the Fc-Y monomers, the nanospheres transform spontaneously into hollow vesicles composed of hierarchically ordered lamellar structures. It is worth noting that the formed nanostructures exhibit both reducing property for in situ mineralization of gold nanoparticles with tunable biocatalytic behavior, and the redox activity for superior energy storage capacity. The measured energy storage capacity is 31 mAh g-1 for the nanospheres, which is the highest value reported so far for peptide assemblages as supercapacitor. The results offer insights into the dynamic self-assembly of highly ordered multifunctional materials with promising applications in catalysis, sensing, energy and biomedical fields.

Abstract
The huge development of bioengineering during the last years has boosted the search for new bioinspired materials, with tunable chemical, mechanical, and optoelectronic properties for the design of semiconductors, batteries, biosensors, imaging and therapy probes, adhesive hydrogels, tissue restoration, photoprotectors, etc. These new materials should complement or replace metallic or organic polymers that cause cytotoxicity and some adverse health effects. One of the most interesting biomaterials is melanin and synthetic melanin-related molecules. Melanin has a controversial molecular structure, dependent on the conditions of polymerization, and therefore tunable. It is found in animal hair and skin, although one of the common sources is cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis) ink. On the other hand, mussels synthesize adhesive proteins to anchor these marine animals to wet surfaces. Both melanin and mussel foot proteins contain a high number of catecholic residues, and their properties are related to these groups. Dopamine (DA) can easily polymerize to get polydopamine melanin (PDAM), that somehow shares properties with melanin and mussel proteins. Furthermore, PDAM can easily be conjugated with other components. This review accounts for the main aspects of melanin, as well as DA-based melanin-like materials, related to their biomedical and biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) generally demonstrates as an efficient free-radical scavenger. However, its free-radical chemistry under illumination is unclear, which becomes important in view of growing studies of polydopamine applications in photoprotector and photothermal therapy. In this study, for the first time, we reported an experimental investigation of the generation of hydroxyl free radicals from ultraviolet (UV)-illuminated polydopamine in an aqueous environment. By using terephthalic acid as fluorescent probe, we measured hydroxyl radicals generated from UV-illuminated polydopamine with different shapes and sizes. The morphology of PDA shows significant influence on its productions of hydroxyl free radicals. Through characterizations of UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry, mass spectrometry, and thermogravimetric analysis, we demonstrated the change of PDA nanomaterials brought by UV-light illumination in composition and thermal stability. We proposed a tentative mechanism for interpreting the relationship between morphology and photostability of PDA nanomaterials. These results reveal underlying complexity of polydopamine chemistry under light illumination that will deepen our understanding and benefit its further application.

Abstract
Recent studies demonstrated that polydopamine (PDA) coating is universal to nearly all substrates, and it endows substrates with biocompatibility, postfunctionality, and other useful properties. Surface chemistry of PDA coating is important for its postmodifications and applications. However, there is less understanding of the formation mechanism and surface functional groups of PDA layers generated in different conditions. Halloysite is a kind of clay mineral with tubular nanostructure. Water-swellable halloysite has unique reactivity. In this study, we have investigated the reaction of dopamine in the presence of water-swellable halloysite. We have tracked the reaction progresses in different pH environments by using UV-vis spectroscopy and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The surface properties of PDA on halloysite were clarified by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), SERS, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) characterizations, zeta potential, surface wettability, and morphological characterizations. We noticed that the interaction between halloysite surface and dopamine strongly influences the surface functionality of coated PDA. In addition, pH condition further modulates surface functional groups, resulting in less content of secondary/aromatic amine in PDA generated in weak acidic environment. This study demonstrates that the formation mechanism of polydopamine becomes complex in the presence of inorganic nanomaterials. Substrate property and reaction condition dominate the functionality of obtained PDA together.
