Abstract
Chronic wounds constitute an increasingly prevalent global healthcare issue, characterized by recurring bacterial infections, pronounced oxidative stress, compromised functionality of immune cells, unrelenting inflammatory reactions, and deficits in angiogenesis. In response to these multifaceted challenges, the study introduced a stimulus-responsive glycopeptide hydrogel constructed by oxidized Bletilla striata polysaccharide (OBSP), gallic acid-grafted ε-Polylysine (PLY-GA), and paeoniflorin-loaded micelles (MIC@Pae), called OBPG&MP. The hydrogel emulates the structure of glycoprotein fibers of the extracellular matrix (ECM), exhibiting exceptional injectability, self-healing, and biocompatibility. It adapts responsively to the inflammatory microenvironment of chronic wounds, sequentially releasing therapeutic agents to eradicate bacterial infection, neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS), modulate macrophage polarization, suppress inflammation, and encourage vascular regeneration and ECM remodeling, playing a critical role across the inflammatory, proliferative, and remodeling phases of wound healing. Both in vitro and in vivo studies confirmed the efficacy of OBPG&MP hydrogel in regulating the wound microenvironment and enhancing the regeneration and remodeling of chronic wound skin tissue. This research supports the vast potential for herb-derived multifunctional hydrogels in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Oral diseases encompassing conditions such as oral cancer, periodontitis, and endodontic infections pose significant challenges due to the oral cavity's susceptibility to pathogenic bacteria and infectious agents. Saliva, a key component of the oral environment, can compromise drug efficacy during oral disease treatment by diluting drug formulations and reducing drug-site interactions. Thus, it is imperative to develop effective drug delivery methods. Stimuli-responsive nanocomposite hydrogels offer a promising solution by adapting to changes in environmental conditions during disease states, thereby enabling targeted drug delivery. These smart drug delivery systems have the potential to enhance drug efficacy, minimize adverse reactions, reduce administration frequency, and improve patient compliance, thus facilitating a faster recovery. This review explores various types of stimuli-responsive nanocomposite hydrogels tailored for smart drug delivery, with a specific focus on their applications in managing oral diseases.

Abstract
Effective loading and delivering the wound healing-based materials to the wound site and area with an optimum concentration and limited cytotoxicity are essential for a complete and fast healing process. Here, we have designed Zn/Al-LDH nanoparticles-loaded CMC films for encapsulation and delivery of gallic acid (GA) in order to develop an effective and efficient wound-healing scaffold. The physicochemical properties of the prepared Zn/Al-LDH nanohybrids were thoroughly characterized by several characterization techniques, such as FESEM, Hi-TEM, FTIR, and XRD techniques. The thermal properties of the scaffolds were evaluated by DSC and TGA analysis. The release profiles of GA from fabricated films were studied over 8 h by UV-vis spectroscopy. In vitro drug release studies in PBS solutions with pH 7.4 showed a mono-phasic profile in which the liberation of the drug mainly occurred by scaffold erosion and increased by increasing the experiment period. The in vitro antibacterial activity of Zn/Al-LDH-GA-loaded CMC films was assessed by disk diffusion and cell viability contact tests. The results showed the desired antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. Incorporating GA within CMC and CMC-Zn/Al-LDH films rereleased good cytocompatibility at the studied incubation time and different concentrations toward human normal HFF cell line than the free drug. The results of the present study indicated that the Zn/Al-LDH and Zn/Al-LDH-GA-loaded CMC have promising wound healing features to further develop a better future for clinical remedy of the different non-healing and hard-to-heal wounds.

Abstract
Chronic cutaneous wounds present a significant challenge for healthcare providers globally, with the risk of bacterial infections emerging as a particularly concerning issue. There is an increasing need to employ a combination of diverse antibacterial strategies to address infections comprehensively in chronic wounds. This study introduces a highly efficient antibacterial platform that encapsulates the NO precursor (BNN6) into β-cyclodextrin-modified hemin-bearing polydopamine nanoparticles called NO/CHPDA. These nanoparticles are seamlessly integrated into a hydrogel composite comprised of L-arginine grafted chitosan (Arg-CS) and oxide dextrans (oDex). The amalgamation of photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), and nitric oxide (NO) antibacterial strategies within the NO/CHPDA@Arg-CS/oDex nanocomposite hydrogel demonstrates a synergistic and highly effective capacity to eradicate bacteria and accelerate the wound healing process in vivo. Remarkably, this nanocomposite hydrogel maintains excellent biocompatibility and induces minimal side effects. The resulting nanocomposite hydrogel represents a promising therapeutic solution for treating bacterial infections in wound healing applications.

Abstract
The dressing that promotes scarless healing is essential for both normal function and aesthetics after a wound. With a deeper understanding of the mechanisms involved in scar formation during the wound healing process, the ideal dressing becomes clearer and more promising. For instance, the yes-associated transcriptional regulator (YAP) has been extensively studied as a key gene involved in regulating scar formation. However, there has been limited attention given to pectolinarin, a natural flavonoid that may exhibit strong binding affinity to YAP, in the context of scarless healing. In this study, we successfully developed a temperature-sensitive Pluronic@F-127 hydrogel as a platform for delivering pectolinarin to promote scarless wound healing. The bioactive pectolinarin was released from the hydrogel, effectively enhancing endothelial cell migration, proliferation and the expression of angiogenesis-related genes. Additionally, a concentration of 20 μg/mL of pectolinarin demonstrated remarkable antioxidant ability, capable of counteracting the detrimental effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Our results from rat wound healing models demonstrated that the hydrogel accelerated wound healing, promoting re-epithelialization and facilitating skin appendage regeneration. Furthermore, we discovered that a concentration of 50 μg/mL of pectolinarin incorporated to the hydrogel exhibited the most favourable outcomes in terms of promoting wound healing and minimizing scar formation. Overall, our study highlights that the significant potential of locally released pectolinarin might substantially inhibit YAP and promoting scarless wound healing.

Abstract
Effective wound treatment has become one of the most important challenges for healthcare as it continues to be one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Therefore, wound care technologies significantly evolved in order to provide a holistic approach based on various designs of functional wound dressings. Among them, hydrogels have been widely used for wound treatment due to their biocompatibility and similarity to the extracellular matrix. The hydrogel formula offers the control of an optimal wound moisture level due to its ability to absorb excess fluid from the wound or release moisture as needed. Additionally, hydrogels can be successfully integrated with a plethora of biologically active components (e.g., nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, natural extracts, peptides), thus enhancing the performance of resulting composite hydrogels in wound healing applications. In this review, the-state-of-the-art discoveries related to stimuli-responsive hydrogel-based dressings have been summarized, taking into account their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hemostatic properties, as well as other effects (e.g., re-epithelialization, vascularization, and restoration of the tissue) resulting from their use.

Abstract
The application of monoclonal antibodies and antibody fragments with the advent of recombinant antibody technology has made notable progress in clinical trials to provide a regulated drug release and extra targeting to the special conditions in the function site. Modification of antibodies has facilitated using mAbs and antibody fragments in numerous models of therapeutic and detection utilizations, such as stimuliresponsive systems. Antibodies and antibody derivatives conjugated with diverse stimuliresponsive materials have been constructed for drug delivery in response to a wide range of endogenous (electric, magnetic, light, radiation, ultrasound) and exogenous (temperature, pH, redox potential, enzymes) stimuli. In this report, we highlighted the recent progress on antibody-conjugated stimuli-responsive and dual/multi-responsive systems that affect modern medicine by improving a multitude of diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Wound healing is a critical process that facilitates the body's recovery from injuries and helps prevent infections, thereby maintaining overall tissue and organ functionality. However, delayed wound healing owing to various factors can lead to bacterial infections and secondary complications. In this study, a ciprofloxacin (CIP)-loaded MXene/sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel was fabricated to inhibit bacterial infections and enhance wound healing. The hydrogel was formulated in a sprayable state by blending CIP-loaded MXene (CIP-MX) with SA. This hydrogel was found to exhibit excellent photothermal conversion capability and biocompatibility under near-infrared (NIR) irradiation. In addition, the hydrogel enabled controlled drug release based on NIR irradiation, ultimately enabling improved antibacterial activity. Based on the in vitro and in vivo experiments, the CIP-loaded MXene/SA hydrogel (CIP-MX@Gel) accelerated wound healing. Overall, the CIP-MX@Gel has excellent potential as an effective wound healing material.

Abstract
The global increase of cutaneous wounds imposes huge health and financial burdens on patients and society. Despite improved wound healing outcomes, conventional wound dressings are far from ideal, owing to the complex healing process. Smart wound dressings, which are sensitive to or interact with changes in wound condition or environment, have been proposed as appealing therapeutic platforms to effectively facilitate wound healing. In this review, the wound healing processes and features of existing biomaterials are firstly introduced, followed by summarizing the mechanisms of smart responsive materials. Afterwards, recent advances and designs in smart and versatile materials of extensive applications for cutaneous wound healing were submarined. Finally, clinical progresses, challenges and future perspectives of the smart wound dressing are discussed. Overall, by mapping the composition and intrinsic structure of smart responsive materials to their individual needs of cutaneous wounds, with particular attention to the responsive mechanisms, this review is promising to advance further progress in designing smart responsive materials for wounds and drive clinical translation.

Abstract
Diabetic chronic wounds entail enormous psychological and economic burdens on diabetic patients. Traditional types of wound dressings lack diversity in their functions and do not have sufficient adaptability to the wound environment, which makes it difficult to meet the complicated needs arising during the healing process when they are used. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels respond specifically to the special environment of the wound area, for example, temperature, pH, glucose, etc., and achieve on-demand release by loading active substances, which effectively promotes diabetic wound healing. Herein, based on the research progress in stimulus-responsive wound dressings in recent years and the relevant work of our research team, we summarized and discussed hydrogel wound dressings responsive to temperature, pH, glucose, reactive oxygen species, enzymes, and multiple stimuli. Based on the special physiological environment of diabetic wounds, hydrogels with single or multiple stimuli-responsive properties can be designed so that they can release drugs on demand and improve the microenvironment of the wound, thus meeting the specific needs of different stages of wound healing. Although stimuli-responsive hydrogels currently show excellent therapeutic potential, there is still room for further development-cells or cytokines loaded in wound dressings usually act only at specific healing stages and the timing needs to be precisely controlled in order to avoid counterproductive effects on wound healing. In addition, the construction of sensor-therapeutic integrated devices for real-time monitoring of wound biochemical indicators so that drugs are release on demand and with precision to promote wound healing is also one of the topics that deserve more attention from researchers.

Abstract
Microneedles have recently emerged as a powerful tool for minimally invasive drug delivery and body fluid sampling. To date, high-resolution fabrication of microneedle arrays (MNAs) is mostly achieved by the utilization of sophisticated facilities and expertise. Particularly, hollow microneedles have usually been manufactured in cleanrooms out of silicon, resin, or metallic materials. Such strategies do not support the fabrication of microneedles from biocompatible/biodegradable materials and limit the capability of multimodal drug delivery for the controlled release of different therapeutics through a combination of injection and sustained diffusion. This study implements low-cost 3D printers to fabricate relatively large needle arrays, followed by repeatable shrink-molding of hydrogels to form high-resolution molds for solid and hollow MNAs with controllable sizes. The developed strategy further enables modulating surface topography of MNAs to tailor their surface area and instantaneous wettability for controllable drug delivery and body fluid sampling. Hybrid gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA)/polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) MNAs are fabricated using the developed strategy that can easily penetrate the skin and enable multimodal drug delivery. The proposed method holds promise for affordable, controllable, and scalable fabrication of MNAs by researchers and clinicians for controlled spatiotemporal administration of therapeutics and sample collection.

Abstract
Food bioactives possess specific physiological benefits of preventing certain diet-related chronic diseases or maintain human health. However, the limitations of the bioactives are their poor stability, lower water solubility and unacceptable bioaccessibility. Structure damage or degradation is often found for the bioactives under certain environmental conditions like high temperature, strong light, extreme pH or high oxygen concentration during food processing, packaging, storage and absorption. Nanostructured steady-state nanocarriers have shown great potential in overcoming the drawbacks for food bioactives. Various delivery systems including solid form delivery system, liquid form delivery system and encapsulation technology have been developed. The embedded food nutrients can largely decrease the loss and degradation during food processing, packaging and storage. The design and application of stimulus and targeted delivery systems can improve the stability, bioavailability and efficacy of the food bioactives upon oral consumption due to enzymatic degradation in the gastrointestinal tract. The food nutrients encapsulated in the smart delivery system can be well protected against degradation during oral administration, thus improving the bioavailability and releazing controlled or targeted release for food nutrients. The encapsulated food bioactives show great potential in nutrition therapy for sub-health status and disease. Much effort is required to design and prepare more biocompatible nanostructured steady-state nanocarriers using food-grade protein or polysaccharides as wall materials, which can be used in food industry and maintain the human health.

Abstract
The limitations associated with conventional antibacterial therapies and the subsequent amplification of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms have increased, necessitating the urgent development of innovative antibacterial techniques. Accordingly, nanoparticle-mediated therapeutics have emerged as potential candidates for antibacterial treatment due to their suitable dimensions, penetration capacity, and high efficiency in targeted drug delivery. However, although nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems have been demonstrated to be effective, they are limited by their overuse and unwanted side effects. Thus, to overcome these drawbacks, stimulus-responsive antibiotic delivery has been extended as a promising strategy for site-specific restricted drug exemption. Nano-formulations that are triggered by various stimuli, such as intrinsic, extrinsic, and bacterial stimuli, have been developed. Thus, by harnessing the physicochemical properties of various nanoparticles, the selective release of therapeutic cargoes can be achieved through the application of a variety of local stimuli such as light, sound, irradiation, pH, and magnetic field. In this review, we also highlight the progress and perspectives of stimulus-responsive combination therapy, with special emphasis on the eradication of MDR strains and biofilms. Hence, this review addresses the advancement and challenges in the applications of stimulus-responsive nanoparticles together with the various future prospects of this technique.

Abstract
Applying reactive polymer materials sensitive to biological stimuli has recently attracted extensive research interest. The special physiological effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on tumors or inflammation and the application of ROS-responsive polymers as drug-delivery systems in organisms have attracted much attention. ROS is a vital disease signal molecule, and the unique accumulation of ROS-responsive polymers in pathological sites may enable ROS-responsive polymers to deliver payload (such as drugs, ROS-responsive prodrugs, and gene therapy fragments) in a targeted fashion. In this paper, the research progress of ROS-responsive polymers and their application in recent years were summarized and analyzed. The research progress of ROS-responsive polymers was reviewed from the perspective of nanoparticle drug delivery systems, multi-responsive delivery systems, and ROS-responsive hydrogels. It is expected that our work will help understand the future development trends in this field.

Abstract
Because intelligent hydrogels have good biocompatibility, a rapid response, and good degradability as well as a stimulus response mode that is rich, hydrophilic, and similar to the softness and elasticity of living tissue, they have received widespread attention and are widely used in biomedical engineering. In this article, we conduct a systematic review of the use of smart hydrogels in biomedical engineering. First, we introduce the properties and applications of hydrogels and compare the similarities and differences between traditional hydrogels and smart hydrogels. Secondly, we summarize the intelligent hydrogel types, the mechanisms of action used by different hydrogels, and the materials for preparing different types of hydrogels, such as the materials for the preparation of temperature-responsive hydrogels, which mainly include gelatin, carrageenan, agarose, amylose, etc.; summarize the morphologies of different hydrogels, such as films, fibers and microspheres; and summarize the application of smart hydrogels in biomedical engineering, such as for the delivery of proteins, antibiotics, deoxyribonucleic acid, etc. Finally, we summarize the shortcomings of current research and present future prospects for smart hydrogels. The purpose of this paper is to provide researchers engaged in related fields with a systematic review of the application of intelligent hydrogels in biomedical engineering. We hope that they will get some inspiration from this work to provide new directions for the development of related fields.

Abstract
Diabetic wound infection is a common disease that has significantly reduced people's quality of life. Although tremendous achievements have been made in clinical treatment, the crucial challenge in diabetic infected wound management stems from the detrimental diabetic wound environment and the emergence of bacterial resistance after long-term medication, which result in a reduced efficacy, an increased dosage of medication, and severe side effects. To tackle these issues, it is of great significance to develop an innovative treatment strategy for diabetic wound infection therapy. Currently, the exploitation of nanobiomaterial-based therapeutic systems for diabetic infected wounds is booming, and therapeutic systems with a stimuli-responsive performance have received extensive attention. These therapeutic systems are able to accelerate diabetic infected wound healing due to the on-demand release of therapeutic agents in diabetic infected wounds in response to stimulating factors. Based on the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds, many endogenous stimuli-responsive (e.g., glucose, enzyme, hypoxia, and acidity) therapeutic systems have been employed for the targeted treatment of infected wounds in diabetic patients. Additionally, exogenous stimulants, including light, magnetism, and temperature, are also capable of achieving on-demand drug release and activation. In this review, the characteristics of diabetic infected wounds are presented, and then exogenous/endogenous stimuli therapeutic systems for the treatment of diabetic infected wounds are summarized. Finally, the current challenges and future outlook of stimuli-responsive therapeutic systems are also discussed.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials are exploited in biological, materials, and sensing applications. We introduce a new endogenous stimulus, biomacromolecule crowding, which we achieve by leveraging changes in thermoresponsive properties of polymers upon high concentrations of crowding agents. We prepare poly(2-oxazoline) amphiphiles that exhibit lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) in serum above physiological temperature. These amphiphiles stabilize oil-in-water nanoemulsions at temperatures below the LCST but are ineffective surfactants above the LCST, resulting in emulsion fusion. We find that the transformations observed upon heating nanoemulsions above their surfactant's LCST can instead be induced at physiological temperatures through the addition of polymers and protein, rendering thermoresponsive materials "crowding responsive." We demonstrate that the cytosol is a stimulus for nanoemulsions, with droplet fusion occurring upon injection into cells of living zebrafish embryos. This report sets the stage for classes of thermoresponsive materials to respond to macromolecule concentration rather than temperature changes.

Abstract
As the prevalence of diabetes increases year by year and the aging population continues to intensify in the world, chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers and pressure ulcers have become serious problems that threaten people's health, and have brought an enormous burden to the world healthcare system. Conventional clinical treatment of chronic wounds relies on non-specific topical care (including debridement, infection/inflammation control, and frequent wound dressing changes), which can alleviate disease progression and reduce patient suffering to a certain extent, but the overall cure rate is less than 50% and the recurrence rate is high. Traditional wound dressings such as gauze, hydrocolloids, films and foams are single-function, acting as a physical barrier or absorbing exudates, and cannot meet all the needs of the entire chronic wound healing process. Recently, a large number of novel functional dressings have been reported for chronic wound repair. Based on the progress on wound dressings in recent years and the relevant research experience of our group, the review summarizes and discusses the progress on multifunctional wound dressings (such as microneedles, sponges and hydrogels) with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, pro-angiogenic and tissue adhesive functions in detail. At the same time, the various responsive mechanisms (in vivo microenvironment or in vitro stimulation) of the smart multifunctional wound dressing are also analyzed in detail. It is expected that the review could provide some inspiration and suggestions for research on dressings for chronic wound treatment.

Abstract
The delayed and incomplete healing of diabetic wounds remains a major concern of global healthcare. The complex biological processes within the diabetic wound, such as chronic inflammation, impaired blood vessel growth and immature collagen remodeling, dramatically cause the failure of current treatments. Thus, emerging therapeutic strategies are highly desirable. Ginkgolide B (GB, a natural product extracted from the leaves of Ginkgo biloba L.) has been applied in the treatment of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disorders, which is mainly due to the anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and proliferative effects. In this study, the role of GB in facilitating the anti-inflammatory and pro-healing effects on diabetic wounds was for the first time confirmed using in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo experimental methods. As a consequence, GB was able to significantly achieve the activities of anti-inflammation, re-epithelialization, and pro-angiogenesis. Previously, a hydrogel has been developed using the high molecular weight hyaluronan (hyaluronic acid, HA) in our laboratory. In this study, this hydrogel was utilized in vivo for local administration of GB to the full-thickness wounds of diabetic mice. The resultant hydrogel formulation (HA-GB) resulted in the reduction of inflammation, the enhancement of re-epithelialization and angiogenesis, and the modulation of collagens from type III to type I, significantly promoting the healing outcome as compared with a commercially available wound dressing product (INTRASITE Gel). This study confirms a great therapeutic promise of HA-GB for the chronic wounds of diabetic patients.

A Logic-Based Diagnostic and Therapeutic Hydrogel with Multistimuli Responsiveness to Orchestrate Diabetic Bone Regeneration. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2022; 34:e2108430. [PMID: 34921569 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202108430] [Citation(s) in RCA: 81] [Impact Index Per Article: 40.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
The regeneration of diabetic bone defects remains challenging as the innate healing process is impaired by glucose fluctuation, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and overexpression of proteinases (such as matrix metalloproteinases, MMPs). A "diagnostic" and therapeutic dual-logic-based hydrogel for diabetic bone regeneration is therefore developed through the design of a double-network hydrogel consisting of phenylboronic-acid-crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) and gelatin colloids. It exhibits a "diagnostic" logic to interpret pathological cues (glucose fluctuation, ROS, MMPs) and determines when to release drug in a diabetic microenvironment and a therapeutic logic to program different cargo release to match immune-osteo cascade for better tissue regeneration. The hydrogel is also shown to be mechanically adaptable to the local complexity at the bone defect. Furthermore, the underlying therapeutic mechanism is elucidated, whereby the logic-based cargo release enables the regulation of macrophage polarization by remodeling the mitochondria-related antioxidative system, resulting in enhanced osteogenesis in diabetic bone defects. This study provides critical insight into the design and biological mechanism of dual-logic-based tissue-engineering strategies for diabetic bone regeneration.

Abstract
Recently, biomedicine and tissue regeneration have emerged as great advances that impacted the spectrum of healthcare. This left the door open for further improvement of their applications to revitalize the impaired tissues. Hence, restoring their functions. The implementation of therapeutic protocols that merge biomimetic scaffolds, bioactive molecules, and cells plays a pivotal role in this track. Smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels are remarkable three-dimensional (3D) bioscaffolds intended for tissue engineering and other biomedical purposes. They can simulate the physicochemical, mechanical, and biological characters of the innate tissues. Also, they provide the aqueous conditions for cell growth, support 3D conformation, provide mechanical stability for the cells, and serve as potent delivery matrices for bioactive molecules. Many natural and artificial polymers were broadly utilized to design these intelligent platforms with novel advanced characteristics and tailored functionalities that fit such applications. In the present review, we highlighted the different types of smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels with emphasis on their synthesis scheme. Besides, the mechanisms of their responsiveness to different stimuli were elaborated. Their potential for tissue engineering applications was discussed. Furthermore, their exploitation in other biomedical applications as targeted drug delivery, smart biosensors, actuators, 3D and 4D printing, and 3D cell culture were outlined. In addition, we threw light on smart self-healing hydrogels and their applications in biomedicine. Eventually, we presented their future perceptions in biomedical and tissue regeneration applications. Conclusively, current progress in the design of smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels enhances their prospective to function as intelligent, and sophisticated systems in different biomedical applications.

Advances in smart delivery of food bioactive compounds using stimuli-responsive carriers: Responsive mechanism, contemporary challenges, and prospects. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2021; 20:5449-5488.

Abstract
Many important food bioactive compounds are plant secondary metabolites that have traditional applications for health promotion and disease prevention. However, the chemical instability and poor bioavailability of these compounds represent major challenges to researchers. In the last decade, therefore, major impetus has been given for the research and development of advanced carrier systems for the delivery of natural bioactive molecules. Among them, stimuli-responsive carriers hold great promise for simultaneously improving stability, bioavailability, and more importantly delivery and on-demand release of intact bioactive phytochemicals to target sites in response to certain stimuli or combination of them (e.g., pH, temperature, oxidant, enzyme, and irradiation) that would eventually enhance therapeutic outcomes and reduce side effects. Hybrid formulations (e.g., inorganic-organic complexes) and multi-stimuli-responsive formulations have demonstrated great potential for future studies. Therefore, this review systematically compiles and assesses the recent advances on the smart delivery of food bioactive compounds, particularly quercetin, curcumin, and resveratrol through stimuli-responsive carriers, and critically reviews their functionality, underlying triggered-release mechanism, and therapeutic potential. Finally, major limitations, contemporary challenges, and possible solutions/future research directions are highlighted. Much more research is needed to optimize the processing parameters of existing formulations and to develop novel ones for lead food bioactive compounds to facilitate their food and nutraceutical applications.

Abstract
Wound healing is a major healthcare concern, and complicated wounds may lead to severe outcomes such as septicemia and amputations. To date, management choices are limited, which warrants the search for new potent wound healing agents. Natural products loaded in poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) coated with chitosan (CS) constitute a promising antibacterial wound healing formulation. In this work, harmala alkaloid-rich fraction (HARF) loaded into PLGA nanoparticles coated with chitosan (H/CS/PLGA NPs) were designed using the emulsion-solvent evaporation method. Optimization of the formulation variables (HARF: PLGA and CS: PLGA weight ratios, sonication time) was performed using the 33 Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR). The prepared NPs had an average particle size of 202.27 ± 2.44 nm, a PDI of 0.23 ± 0.01, a zeta potential of 9.22 ± 0.94 mV, and an entrapment efficiency of 86.77 ± 4.18%. In vitro drug release experiments showed a biphasic pattern where an initial burst of 82.50 ± 0.20% took place in the first 2 h, which increased to 87.50 ± 0.50% over 72 h. The designed optimal H/CS/PLGA NPs exerted high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli (MIC of 0.125 and 0.06 mg/mL, respectively) compared to unloaded HARF (MIC of 0.50 mg/mL). The prepared nanoparticles were found to be biocompatible when tested on human skin fibroblasts. Moreover, the wound closure percentage after 24 h of applying H/CS/PLGA NPs was found to be 94.4 ± 8.0%, compared to free HARF and blank NPs (68.20 ± 5.10 and 50.50 ± 9.40%, respectively). In conclusion, the three components of the developed nanoformulation (PLGA, chitosan, and HARF) have synergistic antibacterial and wound healing properties for the management of infected wounds.

Abstract
The field of theranostics has been rapidly growing in recent years and nanotechnology has played a major role in this growth. Nanomaterials can be constructed to respond to a variety of different stimuli which can be internal (enzyme activity, redox potential, pH changes, temperature changes) or external (light, heat, magnetic fields, ultrasound). Theranostic nanomaterials can respond by producing an imaging signal and/or a therapeutic effect, which frequently involves cell death. Since ultrasound (US) is already well established as a clinical imaging modality, it is attractive to combine it with rationally designed nanoparticles for theranostics. The mechanisms of US interactions include cavitation microbubbles (MBs), acoustic droplet vaporization, acoustic radiation force, localized thermal effects, reactive oxygen species generation, sonoluminescence, and sonoporation. These effects can result in the release of encapsulated drugs or genes at the site of interest as well as cell death and considerable image enhancement. The present review discusses US-responsive theranostic nanomaterials under the following categories: MBs, micelles, liposomes (conventional and echogenic), niosomes, nanoemulsions, polymeric nanoparticles, chitosan nanocapsules, dendrimers, hydrogels, nanogels, gold nanoparticles, titania nanostructures, carbon nanostructures, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, fuel-free nano/micromotors.

Abstract
Recalcitrant respiratory tract infections caused by bacteria have emerged as one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. Aerosolized antimicrobial therapy is becoming increasingly attractive to combat such infections, as it allows targeted delivery of high drug concentrations to the infected organ while limiting systemic exposure. However, successful aerosolized antimicrobial therapy is still challenged by the diverse biological barriers in infected lungs. Nanoparticle-mediated pulmonary drug delivery is gaining increasing attention as a means to overcome the biological barriers and accomplish site-specific drug delivery by controlling release of the loaded drug(s) at the target site. With the aim to summarize emerging efforts in combating respiratory tract infections by using nanoparticle-mediated pulmonary delivery strategies, this review provides a brief introduction to the bacterial infection-related pulmonary diseases and the biological barriers for effective treatment of recalcitrant respiratory tract infections. This is followed by a summary of recent advances in design of inhalable nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems that overcome the biological barriers and increase drug bioavailability. Finally, challenges for the translation from exploratory laboratory research to clinical application are also discussed and potential solutions proposed.

Abstract
Prodrug nanoparticles with cleavable moieties sensitive to intracellular stimuli have drawn great attention on cancer chemotherapy. Herein, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive doxorubicin prodrug mPEG-Phe-TK-Phe-hyd-DOX was synthesized, in which hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and hydrophobic anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX) were conjugated with hydrazone (hyd) and ROS-responsive thioketal (TK) moieties. The ROS-responsiveness of prodrug was confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Unexpectedly, the results of in vitro drug release indicated that the hydrazone bond of prodrug nanoparticles was insensitive to pH, which may be due to the strong hydrophobicity, π-π interactions and cation-π interactions jointly inhibited the hydrolysis of hydrazone bonds under acidic conditions. The cellular uptake and in vitro anticancer study showed that ROS-responsive prodrug nanoparticles exhibited faster cellular uptake and better anticancer efficacy. The in vivo experiments showed that the ROS-responsive prodrug nanoparticles had comparable antitumor efficacy with free anticancer drug DOX and reduced organ toxicity. Our results provide novel idea of successfully design multi-stimuli-responsive nano-drug carrier.

Abstract
Textile materials, as a suitable matrix for different active substances facilitating their gradual release, can have an important role in skin topical or transdermal therapy. Characterized by compositional and structural variety, those materials readily meet the requirements for applications in specific therapies. Aromatherapy, antimicrobial substances and painkillers, hormone therapy, psoriasis treatment, atopic dermatitis, melanoma, etc., are some of the areas where textiles can be used as carriers. There are versatile optional methods for loading the biologically active substances onto textile materials. The oldest ones are by exhaustion, spraying, and a pad-dry-cure method. Another widespread method is the microencapsulation. The modification of textile materials with stimuli-responsive polymers is a perspective route to obtaining new textiles of improved multifunctional properties and intelligent response. In recent years, research has focused on new structures such as dendrimers, polymer micelles, liposomes, polymer nanoparticles, and hydrogels. Numerous functional groups and the ability to encapsulate different substances define dendrimer molecules as promising carriers for drug delivery. Hydrogels are also high molecular hydrophilic structures that can be used to modify textile material. They absorb a large amount of water or biological fluids and can support the delivery of medicines. These characteristics correspond to one of the current trends in the development of materials used in transdermal therapy, namely production of intelligent materials, i.e., such that allow controlled concentration and time delivery of the active substance and simultaneous visualization of the process, which can only be achieved with appropriate and purposeful modification of the textile material.

Abstract
We report a physiologically stable and cytocompatible glucose-responsive nonviral gene delivery system made up of boronate functionalized polymeric material. Herein, we utilize boronate cis-diol interactions to develop a glucose-responsive submicron particle (SMP) system. The stability of the boronate interaction at a physiological pH was achieved by copolymerization of dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with acrylamidophenylboronic acid (AAPBA) and the formation of a complex with polyvinylalcohol (PVA) which is governed by cis-diol interactions. The shift in hydrodynamic diameter of SMPs was observed and correlated with increasing glucose concentrations at a physiological pH. Optimal transfection was observed for a 5 µg dose of the gaussia luciferase reporter gene in NIH3T3 cells without any adverse effect on cellular viability. The destabilization of the AAPBA–PVA complex by interacting with glucose allowed the release of encapsulated bovine serum albumin (BSA) in a glucose-responsive manner. In total, 95% of BSA was released from SMPs at a 50 mM glucose concentration after 72 h. A two-fold increase in transfection was observed in 50 mM glucose compared to that of 10 mM glucose.

Abstract
Chemotherapy, combined with other treatments, is widely applied in the clinical treatment of cancer. However, deficiencies inherited from the traditional route of administration limit its successful application. With the development of nanotechnology, a series of smart nanodelivery systems have been developed to utilize the unique tumor environment (pH changes, different enzymes, and redox potential gradients) and exogenous stimuli (thermal changes, magnetic fields, and light) to improve the curative effect of anticancer drugs. In this review, endogenous and exogenous stimuli are briefly introduced. Among these stimuli, various redox-sensitive linkages are primarily described in detail, and their application with self-assembled nanoparticles is recounted. Finally, the application of redox-responsive self-assembled nanoparticles in cancer therapy is summarized.

Zhang P, Liu C. Enhancement of Skin Wound Healing by rhEGF-Loaded Carboxymethyl Chitosan Nanoparticles. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E1612.

Abstract
The self-assembly of hydrophobically modified polymers has become a research hotspot due to its wide application in the biomedical field. Recombinant human epidermal growth factors (rhEGFs) are molecules that are able to enhance wound healing; however, they have a short half-life and require sustained action to enhance their mitogenic effect on epithelial cells. Here, we proposed a new delivery system to avoid the inhibition of rhEGF by various enzymes, thus improving its bioavailability and sustained release. The amphiphilic polymer was composed of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which were further characterized by fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR). Then, the self-assembly behavior of CLA-CMCS (CC) polymer in water was observed in which the particle size of CC decreased from 196 to 155 nm with the degree of CLA substitution increasing. The nanoparticles were loaded with rhEGF and the maximum rhEGF loading efficiency (LE) of CC3 nanoparticles was 82.43 ± 3.14%. Furthermore, CC nanoparticles (NPs) exhibited no cytotoxicity for L929 cells, and cell proliferation activity was well preserved after rhEGF loading to CC-NPs and was comparable to that of free rhEGF. Topically applied rhEGF:CC-NPs significantly accelerated the wound-closure rate in full thickness, which was most probably due to its sustained release and enhanced skin permeation. In conclusion, carboxymethyl chitosan-based nanoparticles were constructed and showed good cytocompatibility. Moreover, these findings also demonstrated the therapeutic potential of rhEGF:CC-NPs as a topical wound-healing drug carrier.

Abstract
Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) have aroused great interest in the field of nanoscience
and nanotechnology particularly in biomedical domains, such as Drug Delivery System (DDS), Biomedical
Imaging (BI) and Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). As an emerging material, MOFs possess extraordinarily
high surface area, controllable particle size and good biocompatibility. With extraordinary
flexibility in the selection of organic and inorganic components, MOFs can rationally be tuned to obtain
the materials having versatile structures and porosities. MOFs can serve as ideal vehicles for DDS,
BI and PDT through modification and function. In this review, we summarized the design and synthetic
strategies for preparing MOFs and introduced their recent advanced usage in DDS, BI and PDT. Finally,
the prospect and future challenges of these nanomaterials are also documented.

Abstract
Many diseases and conditions affect a relatively localized area of the body. They can be treated either by direct deposition of drug in the target area, or by giving the drug systemically. Here we review nanoparticle-based approaches to achieving both. We highlight advantages and disadvantages that nanoscale solutions have for locally administered therapies, with emphasis on the former. We discuss strategies to enable systemically delivered nanoparticles to deliver their payloads at specific locations in the body, including triggering (local and remote) and targeting.

Abstract
Wound dressings composed of natural polymers, such as type I collagen, possess good biocompatibility, water holding capacity, air permeability, and degradability, and can be used in wound repair. However, due to the persistent oxidative stress in the wound area, the migration and proliferation of fibroblasts might be suppressed, leading to poor healing. Thus, collagen-containing scaffolds are not suitable for accelerated wound healing. Antioxidant N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is known to reduce the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and has been widely used in the clinic. Theoretically, the carboxyl group of NAC allows loading of graphene oxide (GO) for sustained release and may also enhance the mechanical properties of the collagen scaffold, making it a better wound-dressing material. Herein, we demonstrated an innovative approach for a potential skin-regenerating hybrid membrane using GO incorporated with collagen I and NAC (N-Col-GO) capable of continuously releasing antioxidant NAC. Methods: The mechanical stability, water holding capacity, and biocompatibility of the N-Col-GO hybrid membrane were measured in vitro. A 20 mm rat full-skin defect model was created to evaluate the repair efficiency of the N-Col-GO hybrid membrane. The vascularization and scar-related genes in the wound area were also examined. Results: Compared to the Col only scaffold, N-Col-GO hybrid membrane exhibited a better mechanical property, stronger water retention capacity, and slower NAC release ability, which likely promote fibroblast migration and proliferation. Treatment with the N-Col-GO hybrid membrane in the rat wound model showed complete healing 14 days after application which was 22% faster than the control group. HE and Masson staining confirmed faster collagen deposition and better epithelization, while CD31 staining revealed a noticeable increase of vascularization. Furthermore, Rt-PCR demonstrated decreased mRNA expression of profibrotic and overexpression of anti-fibrotic factors indicative of the anti-scar effect. Conclusion: These findings suggest that N-Col-GO drug release hybrid membrane serves as a better platform for scarless skin regeneration.

Abstract
Toward imitating the natural smartness and responsivity of biological systems, surface interfacial properties are considered to be responsive and tunable if they show a reactive behavior to an environmental stimulus. This is still quite different from many contemporary biomaterials that lack responsiveness to interact with blood and different body tissues in a physiological manner. Meanwhile it is possible to even go one step further from responsiveness to dual-mode switchability and explore "switchable" or "reversible" responses of synthetic materials. We understand "switchable biomaterials" as materials undergoing a stepwise, structural transformation coupled with considerable changes of interfacial and other surface properties as a response to a stimulus. Therewith, a survey on stimuli-induced dynamic changes of charge, wettability, stiffness, topography, porosity, and thickness/swelling is presented here, as potentially powerful new technologies especially for future biomaterial development. Since living cells constantly sense their environment through a variety of surface receptors and other mechanisms, these obedient interfacial properties were particularly discussed regarding their advantageous multifunctionality for protein adsorption and cell adhesion signaling, which may alter in time and with environmental conditions.

Abstract
Oral colon-specific delivery systems emerged as the main therapeutic cargos by making a significant impact in the field of modern medicine for local drug delivery in intestinal inflammation. The site-specific delivery of therapeutics (aminosalicylates, glucocorticoids, biologics) to the ulcerative mucus tissue can provide prominent advantages in mucosal healing (MH). Attaining gut mucosal healing and anti-fibrosis are main treatment outcomes in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The pharmaceutical strategies that are commonly used to achieve a colon-specific drug delivery system include time, pH-dependent polymer coating, prodrug, colonic microbiota-activated delivery systems and a combination of these approaches. Amongst the different approaches reported, the use of biodegradable polysaccharide coated systems holds great promise in delivering drugs to the ulcerative regions. The present review focuses on major physiological gastro-intestinal tract challenges involved in altering the pharmacokinetics of delivery systems, pathophysiology of MH and fibrosis, reported drug-polysaccharide cargos and focusing on conventional to advanced disease responsive delivery strategies, highlighting their limitations and future perspectives in intestinal inflammation therapy.

Abstract
In recent decades, bacterial and viral infections and chronic inflammatory response have emerged as important causes of cancer. Also, infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. In this work, carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles (CMC NPs) were synthesized in a facile and green way and further combined with ammonium methylbenzene blue (MB) as a cross-linking agent as well as a fluorescent molecule and a photosensitizer for self-imaging photodynamic therapy (PDT). The obtained CMC-MB NPs exhibited an apparent pH-responsive release behavior of MB, which was released for a prolonged period in a simulated physiological environment (pH 7.4) for more than 15 days and the time reduced to only 3.5 h in acidic conditions (pH 5.5). When irradiated by a 650 nm laser at 202 mW/cm2 for 5 min, the CMC-MB NPs showed efficient bactericidal and biofilm eradication properties as well as suppression of tumor cell growth in a similar acidified microenvironment. Furthermore, in an in vivo rabbit wound bacterial infection model, the rapid sterilization of CMC-MB NPs played a crucial role in bacterial infections, inflammation inhibition, and wound healing. As a PDT treatment against cancer, the CMC-MB NPs also exhibited an efficient antitumor therapeutic effect in a subcutaneous tumor mice model.
