Abstract
The development of static hydrogels as an optimal choice for bone tissue engineering (BTE) remains a difficult challenge primarily due to the intricate nature of bone healing processes, continuous physiological functions, and pathological changes. Hence, there is an urgent need to exploit smart hydrogels with programmable properties that can effectively enhance bone regeneration. Increasing evidence suggests that photoresponsive hydrogels are promising bioscaffolds for BTE due to their advantages such as controlled drug release, cell fate modulation, and the photothermal effect. Here, we review the current advances in photoresponsive hydrogels. The mechanism of photoresponsiveness and its advanced applications in bone repair are also elucidated. Future research would focus on the development of more efficient, safer, and smarter photoresponsive hydrogels for BTE. This review is aimed at offering comprehensive guidance on the trends of photoresponsive hydrogels and shedding light on their potential clinical application in BTE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-energy irradiation eliminates cancer cells by destroying their genetic components. However, there are several side effects from doing this, such as fatigue, dermatitis, and hair loss, which remain obstacles to this treatment. Here, we propose a moderate method that uses low-energy white light from a light-emitting diode (LED) to selectively inhibit cancer cell proliferation without affecting normal cells. METHODS The association between LED irradiation and cancer cell growth arrest was evaluated based on cell proliferation, viability, and apoptotic activity. Immunofluorescence, polymerase chain reaction, and western blotting were performed in vitro and in vivo to identify the metabolism related to the inhibition of HeLa cell proliferation. RESULTS LED irradiation aggravated the defective p53 signaling pathway and induced cell growth arrest in cancer cells. Consequently, cancer cell apoptosis was induced by the increased DNA damage. Additionally, LED irradiation inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells by suppressing the MAPK pathway. Furthermore, the suppression of cancer growth by the regulation of p53 and MAPK was observed in cancer-bearing mice irradiated with LED. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that LED irradiation can suppress cancer cell activity and may contribute to preventing the proliferation of cancer cells after medical surgery without causing side effects.

Abstract
Catechol, a major mussel-inspired underwater adhesive moiety, has been used to develop functional adhesive hydrogels for biomedical applications. However, oxidative catechol chemistry for interpolymer crosslinking and adhesion is exclusively effective under alkaline conditions, with limited applications in non-alkaline conditions. To overcome this limitation, pH-universal catechol-amine chemistry to recapitulate naturally occurring biochemical events induced by pH variation in the mussel foot is suggested. Aldehyde moieties are introduced to hyaluronic acid (HA) by partial oxidation, which enables dual-mode catechol tethering to the HA via both stable amide and reactive secondary amine bonds. Because of the presence of additional reactive amine groups, the resultant aldehyde-modified HA conjugated with catechol (AH-CA) is effectively crosslinked in acidic and neutral pH conditions. The AH-CA hydrogel exhibits not only fast gelation via active crosslinking regardless of pH conditions, but also strong adhesion and excellent biocompatibility. The hydrogel enables rapid and robust wound sealing and hemostasis in neutral and alkaline conditions. The hydrogel also mediates effective therapeutic stem cell and drug delivery even in dynamic and harsh environments, such as a motile heart and acidic stomach. Therefore, the AH-CA hydrogel can serve as a versatile biomaterial in a wide range of pH conditions in vivo.

Abstract
Muscular dysplasia is the key factor in influencing surgical outcomes in patients with cleft lip/palate. In this research, we attempted to evaluate a new acellular dermal matrix (ADM) as a substitute for reconstruction of the orbicularis oris muscle with growth factors such as Insulin-Like Growth Factor I (IGF-I), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in a rabbit model. 30 male New Zealand Rabbits (2-3 m, 1700-2000 g) were divided into four groups as follows; a group in which the orbicularis oris muscle of the upper lip was implanted with ADM, a group in which the orbicularis oris muscle of the upper lip was implanted with ADM + IGF-I + VEGF, a group in which the upper lip was operated without implantation of an ADM scaffold, and a normal upper lip for comparison. Macroscopic observation, histological evaluation, and immunohistochemistry were employed to evaluate levels of the muscle regeneration, vascularization, and inflammation at 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks after the operation. All wounds healed well without infection, immune rejection and so on. Histological evaluation showed that ADM was totally degraded and replaced by connective tissue. The area in which the ADM scaffold was coated with growth factors show a significant increase in the formation of new myofibers after injury, and the vascularization improved compared to the control group and the normal group. In regard to the degrees of inflammation, there were no notable differences among the groups. In conclusion, Our study indicated that ADM grafts combined with IGF-I and VEGF have potential advantages in alleviating muscular dysplasia in cleft lip treatment.
