Abstract
The injury of both central and peripheral nervous systems can result in neurological disorders and severe nervous diseases, which has been one of the challenges in the medical field. The use of peptide-based hydrogels for nerve repair and regeneration (NRR) provides a promising way for treating these problems, but the effects of the functions of peptide hydrogels on the NRR efficiency have been not understood clearly. In this review, we present recent advances in the material design, matrix fabrication, functional tailoring, and NRR applications of three types of peptide-based hydrogels, including pure peptide hydrogels, other component-functionalized peptide hydrogels, and peptide-modified polymer hydrogels. The case studies on the utilization of various peptide-based hydrogels for NRR are introduced and analyzed, in which the effects and mechanisms of the functions of hydrogels on NRR are illustrated specifically. In addition, the fabrication of medical NRR scaffolds and devices for pre-clinical application is demonstrated. Finally, we provide potential directions on the development of this promising topic. This comprehensive review could be valuable for readers to know the design and synthesis strategies of bioactive peptide hydrogels, as well as their functional tailoring, in order to promote their practical applications in tissue engineering, biomedical engineering, and materials science.

Abstract
Precision drug delivery and multimodal synergistic therapy are crucial in treating diverse ailments, such as cancer, tissue damage, and degenerative diseases. Electrodes that emit electric pulses have proven effective in enhancing molecule release and permeability in drug delivery systems. Moreover, the physiological electrical microenvironment plays a vital role in regulating biological functions and triggering action potentials in neural and muscular tissues. Due to their unique noncentrosymmetric structures, many 2D materials exhibit outstanding piezoelectric performance, generating positive and negative charges under mechanical forces. This ability facilitates precise drug targeting and ensures high stimulus responsiveness, thereby controlling cellular destinies. Additionally, the abundant active sites within piezoelectric 2D materials facilitate efficient catalysis through piezochemical coupling, offering multimodal synergistic therapeutic strategies. However, the full potential of piezoelectric 2D nanomaterials in drug delivery system design remains underexplored due to research gaps. In this context, the current applications of piezoelectric 2D materials in disease management are summarized in this review, and the development of drug delivery systems influenced by these materials is forecast.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are specific brain disorders characterized by the progressive deterioration of different motor activities as well as several cognitive functions. Current conventional therapeutic options for NDDs are limited in addressing underlying causes, delivering drugs to specific neuronal targets, and promoting tissue repair following brain injury. Due to the paucity of plausible theranostic options for NDDs, nanobiotechnology has emerged as a promising field, offering an interdisciplinary approach to create nanomaterials with high diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy for these diseases. Recently, two-dimensional nanomaterials (2D-NMs) have gained significant attention in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications due to their precise drug-loading capabilities, controlled release mechanisms, enhanced stability, improved biodegradability, and reduced cell toxicity. Although various studies have explored the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of different nanomaterials in NDDs, there is a lack of comprehensive review addressing the theranostic applications of 2D-NMs in these neuronal disorders. Therefore, this concise review aims to provide a state-of-the-art understanding of the need for these ultrathin 2D-NMs and their potential applications in biosensing and bioimaging, targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine for NDDs.

Abstract
The cell membrane serves as a barrier against the free entry of foreign substances into the cell. Limited by factors such as solubility and targeting, it is difficult for some drugs to pass through the cell membrane barrier and exert the expected therapeutic effect. Two-dimensional nanomaterial (2D NM) has the advantages of high drug loading capacity, flexible modification, and multimodal combination therapy, making them a novel drug delivery vehicle for drug membrane attachment and intracellular transport. By modulating the surface properties of nanocarriers, it is capable of carrying drugs to break through the cell membrane barrier and achieve precise treatment. In this review, we review the classification of various common 2D NMs, the primary parameters affecting their adhesion to cell membranes, and the uptake mechanisms of intracellular transport. Furthermore, we discuss the therapeutic potential of 2D NMs for several major disorders. We anticipate this review will deepen researchers' understanding of the interaction of 2D NM drug carriers with cell membrane barriers, and provide insights for the subsequent development of novel intelligent nanomaterials capable of intracellular transport.

Abstract
Antibiotics are the most commonly used means to treat bacterial infection at present, but the unreasonable use of antibiotics induces the generation of drug-resistant bacteria, which causes great problems for their clinical application. In recent years, researchers have found that nanomaterials with high specific surface area, special structure, photocatalytic activity and other properties show great potential in bacterial infection control. Among them, black phosphorus (BP), a two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial, has been widely reported in the treatment of tumor and bone defect due to its excellent biocompatibility and degradability. However, the current theory about the antibacterial properties of BP is still insufficient, and the relevant mechanism of action needs to be further studied. In this paper, we introduced the structure and properties of BP, elaborated the mechanism of BP in bacterial infection, and systematically reviewed the application of BP composite materials in the field of antibacterial. At the same time, we also discussed the challenges faced by the current research and application of BP, which laid a solid theoretical foundation for the further study of BP in the future.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation has a significant impact on different pathologies, such as stroke or spinal cord injury, intervening in their pathophysiology: expansion, progression, and resolution. Neuroinflammation involves oxidative stress, damage, and cell death, playing an important role in neuroplasticity and motor dysfunction by affecting the neuronal connection responsible for motor control. The diagnosis of this pathology is performed using neuroimaging techniques and molecular diagnostics based on identifying and measuring signaling molecules or specific markers. In parallel, new therapeutic targets are being investigated via the use of bionanomaterials and electrostimulation to modulate the neuroinflammatory response. These novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have the potential to facilitate the development of anticipatory patterns and deliver the most beneficial treatment to improve patients' quality of life and directly impact their motor skills. However, important challenges remain to be solved. Hence, the goal of this study was to review the implication of neuroinflammation in the evolution of motor function in stroke and trauma patients, with a particular focus on novel methods and potential biomarkers to aid clinicians in diagnosis, treatment, and therapy. A specific analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities was conducted, highlighting the key challenges to be faced in the coming years.

Abstract
Repairing injuries to the nervous system has always been a prominent topic in clinical research. Direct suturing and nerve displacement surgery are the primary treatment options, but they may not be suitable for long nerve injuries and may require sacrificing the functionality of other autologous nerves. With the emergence of tissue engineering, hydrogel materials have been identified as a promising technology with clinical translation potential for repairing nervous system injuries due to their excellent biocompatibility and ability to release or deliver functional ions. By controlling their composition and structure, hydrogels can be Functionalized and almost fully matched with nerve tissue and even simulate nerve conduction function and mechanical properties. Thus, they are suitable for repairing injuries to both the central and peripheral nervous systems. This article provides a review of recent research progress in functionalized hydrogels for nerve injury repair, highlighting the design differences among various materials and future research directions. We strongly believe that the development of functionalized hydrogels has great potential for improving the clinical treatment of nerve injuries.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, such as graphene, black phosphorus and transition metal dichalcogenides, have attracted increasing attention in biology and biomedicine. Their high mechanical stiffness, excellent electrical conductivity, optical transparency, and biocompatibility have led to rapid advances. Neuroscience is a complex field with many challenges, such as nervous system is difficult to repair and regenerate, as well as the early diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases are also challenged. This review mainly focuses on the application of 2D nanomaterials in neuroscience. Firstly, we introduced various types of 2D nanomaterials. Secondly, due to the repairment and regeneration of nerve is an important problem in the field of neuroscience, we summarized the studies of 2D nanomaterials applied in neural repairment and regeneration based on their unique physicochemical properties and excellent biocompatibility. We also discussed the potential of 2D nanomaterial-based synaptic devices to mimic connections among neurons in the human brain due to their low-power switching capabilities and high mobility of charge carriers. In addition, we also reviewed the potential clinical application of various 2D nanomaterials in diagnosing and treating neurodegenerative diseases, neurological system disorders, as well as glioma. Finally, we discussed the challenge and future directions of 2D nanomaterials in neuroscience.

Methods: Studies on spinal cord injury in electroactive materials that were published between 2012 and 2022 were located using the Web of science (WOS) datebase. The software programs bibliometrix R-package and CiteSpace were used to do quantitative analyses of annual publications, nation, author, institution, journal source, co-cited references, and keywords. The studies were categorized by the research's main points using a qualitative analysis, and publications having more than 10 citations each year. Results: In the final analysis, 1,330 relevant papers or reviews were included. There is an increased tendency in both the average annual citation rate and the number of publications in the discipline. The United States and the University of Toronto are the countries and institutions that have contributed the most to this discipline, respectively. The majority of authors are from the China and United States. Zhang Y is the author with the most published articles and holds the top position in the cited author h-index species. The journal with the highest number of published articles is "Disability and rehabilitation"; the journal is divided into four main areas including physics, materials, chemistry, molecular, and biology. The keyword analysis revealed a shift in research hotspots from schwann cell, fracture, and urinary disorders to carbon-based materials, functional recovery, and surgery. Analysis of qualitative data revealed that the role and mechanism of injectable conductive hydrogels in spinal cord healing after damage is a hot topic of current study, with the mechanism primarily focusing on the inhibition of oxidative stress (Nrf2) and apoptosis (Casepase 3). Conclusion: Our bibliometric analysis indicates that research on electroactive materials for spinal cord injury remains an active field of study. Moreover, contemporary research is concentrated on carbon-based materials, functional rehabilitation, and surgery.

Abstract
Film drug delivery systems have the advantages of precise administration, simple process and easy portability, compared with other traditional drug delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, syrups, ointments, etc. The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are normally developed in four categories of film agent like patch film, coating, spray film and gel film, which are applied to the treatment of oral ulcers, chronic diseases of lower limbs, burns, scalds, gynecological disease and body care. So the TCM film has great research value and prominent market prospect. In this review, we summarized the research progress of the material composition, pharmaceutical production, clinical application and pharmacology mechanism of various TCM film agents. It may provide a comprehensive reference for further development and utilization of TCM film agents.

J Nanobiotechnology 2022; 20:360. [PMID: 35918769 PMCID: PMC9344707 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-022-01541-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Accepted: 07/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Exosomes show potential for treating patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) in clinical practice, but the underlying repair mechanisms remain poorly understood, and biological scaffolds available for clinical transplantation of exosomes have yet to be explored. In the present study, we demonstrated the novel function of Gel-Exo (exosomes encapsulated in fibrin gel) in promoting behavioural and electrophysiological performance in mice with SCI, and the upregulated neural marker expression in the lesion site suggested enhanced neurogenesis by Gel-Exo. According to the RNA-seq results, Vgf (nerve growth factor inducible) was the key regulator through which Gel-Exo accelerated recovery from SCI. VGF is related to myelination and oligodendrocyte development according to previous reports. Furthermore, we found that VGF was abundant in exosomes, and Gel-Exo-treated mice with high VGF expression indeed showed increased oligodendrogenesis. VGF was also shown to promote oligodendrogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, and lentivirus-mediated VGF overexpression in the lesion site showed reparative effects equal to those of Gel-Exo treatment in vivo. These results suggest that Gel-Exo can thus be used as a biocompatible material for SCI repair, in which VGF-mediated oligodendrogenesis is the vital mechanism for functional recovery.

[PMID: 35843506 DOI: 10.1016/j.addr.2022.114451] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2021] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/01/2022]
Abstract
Recent decades have witnessed a surge of explorations into the application of multifarious materials, especially biomedical applications. Among them, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have been widely developed as typical inorganic layer materials to achieve remarkable advancements. Multiple physicochemical properties endow LDHs with excellent merits in biomedical applications. Moreover, LDH nanoplatforms could serve as "molecular switches", which are capable of the controlled release of payloads under specific physiological pH conditions but are stable during circulation in the bloodstream. In addition, LDHs themselves are composed of several specific cations and possess favorable biological effects or regulatory roles in various cellular functions. These advantages have caused LDHs to become increasingly of interest in the area of nanomedicine. Recent efforts have been devoted to revealing the potential factors that interfere with the biological pathways of LDH-based nanoparticles, such as their applications in shaping the functions of immune cells and in determining the fate of stem cells and tumor treatments, which are comprehensively described herein. In addition, several intracellular signaling pathways interfering with by LDHs in the above applications were also systematically expatiated. Finally, the future development and challenges of LDH-based nanomedicine are discussed in the context of the ultimate goal of practical clinical application.
