Abstract
Failure of articular cartilage lubrication and inflammation are the main causes of osteoarthritis (OA), and integrated treatment realizing joint lubrication and anti-inflammation is becoming the most effective treat model. Inspired by low friction of human synovial fluid and adhesive chemical effect of mussels, our work reports a biomimetic lubricating system that realizes long-time lubrication, photothermal responsiveness and anti-inflammation property. To build the system, a dopamine-mediated strategy is developed to controllably graft hyaluronic acid on the surface of metal organic framework. The design constructs a biomimetic core-shell structure that has good dispersity and stability in water with a high drug loading ratio of 99%. Temperature of the solution rapidly increases to 55 °C under near-infrared light, and the hard-soft lubricating system well adheres to wear surfaces, and greatly reduces frictional coefficient by 75% for more than 7200 times without failure. Cell experiments show that the nanosystem enters cells by endocytosis, and releases medication in a sustained manner. The anti-inflammatory outcomes validate that the nanosystem prevents the progression of OA by down-regulating catabolic proteases and pain-related genes and up-regulating genes that are anabolic in cartilage. The study provides a bioinspired strategy to employ metal organic framework with controlled surface and structure for friction reduction and anti-inflammation, and develops a new concept of OA synergistic therapy model for practical applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease commonly seen in middle-aged and elderly people. Multiple cytokines are involved in the local tissue damage in OA. Currently, non-pharmacologic and surgical interventions are the main conventional approaches for the treatment of OA. In terms of pharmaceutical drug therapy, NSAIDs and acetaminophen are mainly used to treat OA. However, it is prone to various adverse reactions such as digestive tract ulcer, thromboembolism, prosthesis loosening, nerve injury and so on. With the in-depth study of OA, more and more novel topical drug delivery strategies and vehicles have been developed, which can make up for the shortcomings of traditional dosage forms, improve the bioavailability of drugs, and significantly reduce drug side effects. This review summarizes the immunopathogenesis, treatment guidelines, and progress and challenges of topical delivery technologies of OA, with some perspectives on the future pharmacological treatment of OA proposed.

Abstract
Chondrocyte senescence and reduced lubrication play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of age-related osteoarthritis (OA). In the present study, highly lubricated and drug-loaded hydrogel microspheres are designed and fabricated through the radical polymerization of sulfobetaine (SB)-modified hyaluronic acid methacrylate using microfluidic technology. The copolymer contains a large number of SB and carboxyl groups that can provide a high degree of lubrication through hydration and form electrostatic loading interactions with metformin (Met@SBHA), producing a high drug load for anti-chondrocyte senescence. Mechanical, tribological, and drug release analyses demonstrated enhanced lubricative properties and prolonged drug dissemination of the Met@SBHA microspheres. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis, network pharmacology, and in vitro assays revealed the extraordinary capacity of Met@SBHA to combat chondrocyte senescence. Additionally, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has been identified as a promising protein modulated by Met in senescent chondrocytes, thereby exerting a significant influence on the iNOS/ONOO-/P53 pathway. Notably, the intra-articular administration of Met@SBHA in aged mice ameliorated cartilage senescence and OA pathogenesis. Based on the findings of this study, Met@SBHA emerges as an innovative and promising strategy in tackling age-related OA serving the dual function of enhancing joint lubrication and mitigating cartilage senescence.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative whole-joint disease in which the synovium and joint cartilage become inflamed and damaged. The essential role of inflammation in the development of OA has been recognized recently. Accordingly, simultaneous regulation of local inflammation and tissue degeneration is proposed as a promising therapeutic strategy. Herein, multifunctional biomimetic apoptotic nanovesicles (Apo-NVs) are constructed with plasma membrane derived from apoptotic T cells. The anti-inflammatory microRNA-124 is further encapsulated into Apo-NVs in the hope of achieving an enhanced immunomodulatory effect. It is found that apoptotic nanovesicles, including Apo-NVs and Apo-NVs-miR-124, both efficiently promote the M2 repolarization of M1 macrophages and inhibit the degenerative phenotype of chondrocytes. Further in vivo studies show that Apo-NVs and Apo-NVs-miR-124 alleviate synovial inflammation and protect cartilage tissue from degeneration in OA mice. The study highlights the potential of Apo-NVs in treating OA and other inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that is associated with decreased synovial fluid viscosity and increased cartilage friction. Though viscosupplements are available for decades, their clinical efficacy is limited and there is ample need for more effective joint lubricants. This study first evaluates the tribological and biochemical properties of bovine articular cartilage explants after stimulation with the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β. This model is then used to investigate the tribological potential of carboxybetaine (CBAA)-based zwitterionic polymers of linear and bottlebrush architecture. Due to their affinity for cartilage tissue, these polymers form a highly hydrated surface layer that decreases friction under high load in the boundary lubrication regime. For linear pCBAA, these benefits are retained over several weeks and the relaxation time of cartilage explants under compression is furthermore decreased, thereby potentially boosting the weeping lubrication mechanism. Bottlebrush bb-pCBAA shows smaller benefits under boundary lubrication but is more viscous than linear pCBAA, therefore providing better lubrication under low load in the fluid-film regime and enabling a longer residence time to bind to the cartilage surface. Showing how CBAA-based polymers restore the lost lubrication mechanisms during inflammation can inspire the next steps toward more effective joint lubricants in the future.

Abstract
Joint kinematic instability, arising from congenital or acquired musculoskeletal pathoanatomy or from imbalances in anabolism and catabolism induced by pathophysiological factors, leads to deterioration of the composition, structure and function of cartilage and, ultimately, progression to osteoarthritis (OA). Alongside articular cartilage degeneration, synovial fluid lubricity decreases in OA owing to a reduction in the concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid and surface-active mucinous glycoproteins that form a lubricating film over the articulating joint surfaces. Minimizing friction between articulating joint surfaces by lubrication is fundamental for decreasing hyaline cartilage wear and for maintaining the function of synovial joints. Augmentation with highly viscous supplements (that is, viscosupplementation) offers one approach to re-establishing the rheological and tribological properties of synovial fluid in OA. However, this approach has varied clinical outcomes owing to limited intra-articular residence time and ineffective mechanisms of chondroprotection. This Review discusses normal hyaline cartilage function and lubrication and examines the advantages and disadvantages of various strategies for restoring normal joint lubrication. These strategies include contemporary viscosupplements that contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatory drugs or platelet-rich plasma and new synthetic synovial fluid additives and cartilage matrix enhancers. Advanced biomimetic tribosupplements offer promise for mitigating cartilage wear, restoring joint function and, ultimately, improving patient care.

Abstract
Designing artificial nano-enzymes for scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) in chondrocytes (CHOs) is considered the most feasible pathway for the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). However, the accumulation of ROS due to the amount of nano-enzymatic catalytic site exposure and insufficient oxygen supply seriously threatens the clinical application of this therapy. Although metal-organic framework (MOF) immobilization of artificial nano-enzymes to enhance active site exposure has been extensively studied, artificial nano-enzymes/MOFs for ROS scavenging in OA treatment are still lacking. In this study, a biocompatible lubricating hydrogel-loaded iron-doped zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (Fe/ZIF-8/Gel) centrase was engineered to scavenge endogenous overexpressed ROS synergistically generating dissolved oxygen and enhancing sustained lubrication for CHOs as a ternary artificial nano-enzyme. This property enabled the nano-enzymatic hydrogels to mitigate OA hypoxia and inhibit oxidative stress damage successfully. Ternary strategy-based therapies show excellent cartilage repair in vivo. The experimental results suggest that nano-enzyme-enhanced lubricating hydrogels are a potentially effective OA treatment and a novel strategy.

Abstract
Despite the safety profile of subunit vaccines, the inferior immunogenicity hinders their application in the nasal cavity. This study introduces a novel antigen delivery and adjuvant system utilizing mucoadhesive chitosan-catechol (Chic) on silica spiky nanoparticles (Ssp) to enhance immunity through multiple mechanisms. The Chic functionalizes the Ssp surface and incorporates with SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) and toll-like receptor (TLR)9 agonist unmethylated cytosine-guanine (CpG) motif, forming uniform virus-like nanoparticles (Ssp-Chic-RBD-CpG) via electrostatic and covalent interactions. Ssp-Chic-RBD-CpG, mimicking the morphology and function of inactive virions, effectively prolongs the retention time of RBD in the nasal mucosa by 3.92-fold compared to RBD alone, enhances the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), and facilitates the antigen trafficking to the draining lymph nodes, which subsequently induces a stronger mucosal immunity. Mechanistically, the enhanced chemokine chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 20 (CCL20)-driven DCs recruitment and maturation by Ssp-Chic-RBD-CpG are evidenced by a cell co-culture model. In addition, the overexpression of TLR4/9 and activation of MYD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in activation of DCs are observed. Proof of principle is obtained for RBD, but similar delivery mechanisms can be applied in other protein-based subunit vaccines as well when intranasal administration is needed.

Abstract
The complexity, heterogeneity, and drug resistance of diseases necessitate a shift in therapeutic paradigms from monotherapy to combination therapy, which could augment treatment efficiency. Effective treatment of advanced osteoarthritis (OA) requires addressing three key factors contributing to its deterioration: chronic joint inflammation, lubrication dysfunction, and cartilage-tissue degradation. Herein, we present a supramolecular nanomedicine of multifunctionality via molecular recognition and self-assembly. The employed macrocyclic carrier, zwitterion-modified cavitand (CV-2), not only accurately loads various drugs but also functions as a therapeutic agent with lubricating properties for the treatment of OA. Kartogenin (KGN), a drug for articular cartilage regeneration and protection, and flurbiprofen (FP), an anti-inflammatory agent, were coloaded onto CV-2 assembly, forming a supramolecular nanomedicine KGN&FP@CV-2. The three-in-one combination therapy of KGN&FP@CV-2 addresses the three pathological features for treating OA collectively, and thus provides long-term therapeutic benefits for OA through sustained drug release and intrinsic lubrication in vivo. The multifunctional integration of macrocyclic delivery and therapeutics provides a simple, flexible, and universal platform for the synergistic treatment of diseases involving multiple drugs.

Abstract
The early stages of osteoarthritis (OA) in the joints are typically characterized by two key factors: the dysfunction of articular cartilage lubrication and inflammation resulting from the excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Synthetic injectable macromolecular materials present great potential for preventing the progression of early OA. In this study, to mimic the excellent lubricity of brush-like aggregates found in natural synovial fluid, we develop a novel macromolecular biolubricant (CS-PS-DA) by integrating adhesion and hydration groups onto backbone of natural biomacromolecules. CS-PS-DA exhibits a strong affinity for cartilage surfaces, enabling the formation of a stable lubrication layer at the sliding interface of degraded cartilages to restore joint lubrication performance. In vitro results from ROS scavenging and anti-inflammatory experiments indicate the great advantage of CS-PS-DA to decrease the levels of proinflammatory cytokines by inhibiting ROS overproduction. Finally, in vivo rats OA model demonstrates that intra-cavitary injection of CS-PS-DA could effectively resist cartilage wear and mitigated inflammation in the joints. This novel biolubricant provides a new and timely strategy for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Degenerative orthopaedic diseases pose a notable worldwide public health issue attributable to the global aging population. Conventional medical approaches, encompassing physical therapy, pharmaceutical interventions, and surgical methods, face obstacles in halting or reversing the degenerative process. In recent times, exosome-based therapy has gained widespread acceptance and popularity as an effective treatment for degenerative orthopaedic diseases. This therapeutic approach holds the potential for "cell-free" tissue regeneration. Exosomes, membranous vesicles resulting from the fusion of intracellular multivesicles with the cell membrane, are released into the extracellular matrix. Addressing challenges such as the rapid elimination of natural exosomes in vivo and the limitation of drug concentration can be effectively achieved through various strategies, including engineering modification, gene overexpression modification, and biomaterial binding. This review provides a concise overview of the source, classification, and preparation methods of exosomes, followed by an in-depth analysis of their functions and potential applications. Furthermore, the review explores various strategies for utilizing exosomes in the treatment of degenerative orthopaedic diseases, encompassing engineering modification, gene overexpression, and biomaterial binding. The primary objective is to provide a fresh viewpoint on the utilization of exosomes in addressing bone degenerative conditions and to support the practical application of exosomes in the theranosis of degenerative orthopaedic diseases.

Abstract
Surface modification of lubricating coatings on biomedical devices is a pivotal strategy to improve the overall performance and clinical efficacy, significantly reducing friction between devices and human tissues and mitigating tissue damage during intervention and long-term implantation. Recently, various hydrophilic polymeric materials have been used for achieving surface functionalization, endowing the biomedical device with excellent superlubrication performance. N-Vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) are two typical representatives of nonionic and zwitterionic materials. However, there is still a research gap in a comparative study of the lubrication mechanisms and properties between them. In this study, a bioinspired and dopamine-assisted codeposition technique was used to fabricate biomimetic hydrophilic coatings, including P(DMA-NVP) and P(DMA-MPC), on polyurethane. To achieve a thorough comparative analysis of the self-adhesive coating performance, 3 M ratios of the copolymers were synthesized and comprehensive material evaluations were conducted. Additionally, surface morphology, hydrophilicity, and lubrication at both the microscale and macroscale were performed. It was found that both hydrophilic coatings exhibited good stability. The P(DMA-MPC) coating, due to the ability to attract and bind a large number of water molecules, demonstrated superior lubrication effects compared to the P(DMA-NVP) coating. The study provides an in-depth understanding of the lubrication behavior of the self-adhesive coatings to enhance the functionality and application in biomedical engineering.

Abstract
Restoration of the lubrication functions of articular cartilage is an effective treatment to alleviate the progression of osteoarthritis (OA). Herein, we fabricated chitosan-block-poly(sulfobetaine methacrylate) (CS-b-pSBMA) copolymer via a free radical polymerization of sulfobetaine methacrylate onto activated chitosan segment, structurally mimicking the lubricating biomolecules on cartilage. The successful copolymerization of CS-b-pSBMA was verified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance. Friction test confirmed that the CS-b-pSBMA copolymer could achieve an excellent lubrication effect on artificial joint materials such as Ti6Al4V alloy with a coefficient of friction as low as 0.008, and on OA-simulated cartilage, better than the conventional lubricant hyaluronic acid, and the adsorption effect of lubricant on cartilage surface was proved by a fluorescence labeling experiment. In addition, CS-b-pSBMA lubricant possessed an outstanding stability, which can withstand enzymatic degradation and even a long-term storage up to 4 weeks. In vitro studies showed that CS-b-pSBMA lubricant had a favorable antibacterial activity and good biocompatibility. In vivo studies confirmed that the CS-b-pSBMA lubricant was stable and could alleviate the degradation process of cartilage in OA mice. This biomimetic lubricant is a promising articular joint lubricant for the treatment of OA and cartilage restoration.

Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
Hydrogels are a promising new class of antifouling materials. But their utility is constrained by low mechanical strength and unsatisfactory antifouling performance over the long term. Herein, we successfully prepared zwitterionic polymer PEIS cross-linked gallium-based liquid metal microgels-based (PEIS-Gel@PMPC-GLM) hydrogels via UV-curing and amidation reaction. The as-prepared hydrogels showed preferable mechanical properties and superior hydrophilicity to the original hydrogels. The PEIS-Gel@PMPC-GLM hydrogels could prevent the adhesion of more than 90 % of microalgae and nearly 100 % of bacteria in a short-term antifouling test. PEIS-Gel@PMPC-GLM hydrogels also performed exceptionally well in the high concentration antibacterial test and the long-term antifouling test (remove more than 90 % bacteria and 80 % microalgae). In addition to releasing a high concentration of gallium ions, as shown by the ICP-OES test, PEIS-Gel@PMPC-GLM hydrogels also exhibitedexcellent lubrication performance, as demonstrated by the friction test (coefficient of friction as low as 0.023). Therefore, the antifouling effect of gallium ions combined with the strong hydration ability of the surfaces endowed the hydrogels remarkable antibacterial and antifouling properties. As a result of the exposed gallium atoms inducing further crosslinking of residual vinyl monomer in hydrogels, PEIS-Gel@PMPC-GLM hydrogels revealed certain self-healing performance.

Abstract
Local drug delivery via inter-articular injection offers a promising scenario to treat the most common joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA), which is closely associated with the increased friction or cartilage degeneration and the inflammatory syndrome of synovium. Therefore, it is quite necessary to improve the retention of drug delivery system within synovial joint, simultaneously restore the lubrication of degraded cartilage and meanwhile alleviate the inflammation. In this study, we propose a hydrophilic coating modified nano-liposome drug carrier (PMPC-Lipo) to achieve these functions. A modified chain transfer agent was utilized to polymerize 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC), the obtained polymer, combined with lecithin and cholesterol, formed a liposome (PMPC-Lipo) where poly (MPC) acted as hydrophilic coating. PMPC-Lipo was found to restore the lubrication of mechanically damage cartilage (mimicking OA conditions) to the level like healthy cartilage due to the hydration lubrication. Additionally, due to the presence of poly (MPC), we also found PMPC-Lipo avoid the recognition of macrophage and thus escape from the phagocytosis to prolong its retention in synovial joint. Furthermore, after encapsulating gallic acid (GA) into PMPC-Lipo, the obtained GA-PMPC-Lipo can effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species and restore the imbalance of matrix secretion in inflammatory chondrocytes. Collectively, the proposed GA-PMPC-Lipo may provide a new idea for osteoarthritis treatment by providing both long-term effective drug action and excellent lubrication properties.

Abstract
We report the relationships between linear vs. network polymer architecture and biomechanical outcomes including lubrication and cushioning when the polymers are applied to the surface of articulating knee cartilage. Aqueous formulations of the bioinspired polymer poly(2-methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine) (pMPC) exhibit tuneable rheological properties, with network pMPC exhibiting increased elasticity and viscosity compared to linear pMPC. Application of a polymer network, compared to a linear one, to articulating tissue surfaces reduces friction, lessens tissue strain, minimizes wear, and protects tissue - thereby improving overall tissue performance. Administration of the network pMPC to the middle carpal joint of skeletally mature horses elicits a safe response similar to saline as monitored over a 70 day period.

Abstract
Restoring joint homeostasis is crucial for relieving osteoarthritis (OA). Current strategies are limited to unilateral efforts in joint lubrication, inhibition of inflammation, free radicals scavenging, and cartilage regeneration. Herein, by modifying molybdenum disulfide (MoS2 ) with Mg2+ -doped polydopamine and coating with polysulfobetaines, a dual-bionic photothermal nanozyme (MPMP) is constructed to mimic antioxidases/hyaluronan synthase for OA therapy. Photothermally enhanced lubrication lowers the coefficient of friction (0.028) in the early stage of OA treatment. The antioxidases-mimicking properties of MPMP nanozyme contribute to eliminating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) (over 90% of scavenging ratio for H2 O2 /·OH/O· 2 - /DPPH/ABTS+ ) and supplying O2 . With NIR irradiation, the MPMP nanozyme triggers thermogenesis (upregulating HSP70 expression) and Mg2+ release, which promotes the chondrogenesis in inflammatory conditions by deactivating NF-κB/IL-17 signaling pathways and enhancing MAPK signaling pathway. Benefiting from HSP70 and Mg2+ , MPMP-NIR shows HAS-mimicking activity to increase the intracellular (twofold) and extracellular (3.12-fold) HA production. Therefore, MPMP-NIR demonstrates superior spatiotemporally therapeutic effect on OA in mice model, in terms of osteophytes (83.41% of reduction), OARSI scores (88.57% of reduction), and ACAN expression (2.70-fold of increment). Hence, insights into dual-bionic nanozymes can be a promising strategy for OA therapy or other inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by the lubrication dysfunction of a cartilage sliding interface caused by chronic joint inflammation, and effective nonsurgical therapy for advanced OA remains lacking. Addressing chronic joint inflammation, lubrication dysfunction, and cartilage-tissue degradation simultaneously may hopefully tackle this challenge. Herein, we developed superlubricative zein@alginate/strontium@calcitriol (ZASC) nanospheres to treat advanced OA. ZASC was confirmed to significantly improve joint lubrication through traditional tribological tests and our proposed tribological experiment to mimic the intra-articular condition based on the human medial tibiofemoral joint tissues. This finding was attributed to the hydration lubrication formed around the alginate-strontium spheres that enabled ball-bearing lubrication and the filling of cartilage defects. Moreover, ZASCs that released calcitriol in a sustained manner showed proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptosis effects in vitro. Further experiments demonstrated that ZASC exerted chondroprotective effects by inhibiting the breakdown of the extracellular matrix in patient-derived OA cartilage explants. In vivo results demonstrated that ZASC can effectively maintain a normal gait to improve joint function, inhibit abnormal bone remodeling and cartilage degradation in early OA and can effectively reverse the advanced OA progression. Therefore, ZASC is a potentially nonsurgical therapeutic strategy for advanced OA treatments.

Abstract
The maintenance of high load-bearing tissues and joint lubrication is essential for suppressing osteoarthritis. The lubrication of natural joints is mainly attributed to the hydration lubrication mechanism of articular cartilage. Phospholipids on the cartilage surface attract water molecules to form a tough hydrated layer to reduce friction. In this work, inspired by the phosphatidylcholine lipids, we synthesized lubricated nanospheres by grafting hydrophilic polymer brushes and further synthesized a nanocomposite hydrogel. The addition of the lubricated nanospheres enhanced both the mechanical and lubricated properties of the hydrogel. The nanocomposite-lubricated hydrogel exhibited a friction coefficient 81.7% lower than the blank hydrogel because of grafting the polymer brushes. Also, the nanocomposite enhancement helped the hydrogel achieve high mechanical properties with a compressive strength of 6.63 MPa (50%). The nanocomposite hydrogel developed here could be a promising candidate material in bionic articular cartilage substitute materials.

Abstract
Most of present works of osteoarthritis (OA) therapy are focusing on reducing friction and improving drug loading capacity, while little attention is paid to realizing long-time lubrication and on-demand drug release. In this study, inspired by snowboards with good solid-liquid interface lubrication, a fluorinated graphene based nanosystem with dual functions of long-time lubrication and thermal-responsive drug release was constructed for OA synergetic therapy. An aminated polyethylene glycol bridging strategy was developed to enable covalent grafting of hyaluronic acid on fluorinated graphene. This design not only greatly increased the nanosystem's biocompatibility, but also reduced the coefficient of friction (COF) by 83.3 % compared to H2O. The nanosystem showed long-time and steady aqueous lubrication behavior even after more than 24,000 times of friction tests, and a low COF of 0.13 was obtained with over 90% wear volume reduction. Diclofenac sodium was controllably loaded and sustained drug release was tuned by near-infrared light. Moreover, anti-inflammation results showed that the nanosystem had good protective effect on inhibiting OA deterioration, which could up-regulate cartilage anabolic genes of Col2α and aggrecan while down-regulating catabolic proteases genes of TAC1 and MMP1. This work constructs a novel dual-functional nanosystem that realizes friction and wear reduction with long lubrication life, and shows thermal-responsive on-demand drug release with good synergistic therapeutic effect of OA.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the hybridization of copolymer microgel with drug-loaded metal-organic frameworks nanoparticles that can achieve excellent aqueous lubricating performance and anti-inflammatory effect for synergistic treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Poly(ethylene glycol)-graft-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PEG-g-PNIPAm) microgel layer is grown on the MIL-101(Cr) surface via one-pot soap-free emulsion polymerization method. The lower critical solution temperature of the MIL-101(Cr)@PEG-g-PNIPAm hybrid is raised significantly by incorporating PEG chains into the PNIPAm microgel matrix, which greatly enhances the high-temperature aqueous dispersion stability. The hybrid microgel demonstrated reversibly thermo-sensitive swelling-collapsing behavior to modulate the optical properties and hydrodynamic size. Using as aqueous lubricating additives, the hybrid reduces over 64% and 97% in friction coefficient and wear volume. Also, the hybrid supports desirable temperature-controlled lubrication modulation due to their reversible thermo-responsive behavior, which is benefit to joint lubrication of OA. After encapsulating anti-inflammatory diclofenac sodium (DS), the DS-MIL-101(Cr)@PEG-g-PNIPAm shows thermo-responsive drug release in aqueous media, which can improve the drug-delivery efficiency. By co-culturing the DS-loaded hybrid with human normal chondrocytes, we demonstrate good biocompatibility and anti-inflammatory effect on the chondrocytes with inflammation by regulating the expression of OA-related genes and proteins. Our work establishes multifunctional MOFs-based hybrid microgel systems for advanced colloids modulation and biomedical application.

Abstract
Enhanced joint synergistic lubrication combined with anti-inflammatory therapy is an effective strategy to delay the progression of early osteoarthritis (OA) but has been rarely reported. The hydration lubrication of zwitterions and inherent super-lubrication properties of the cyclic brush, as well as the enhancement of the steric stability of the cyclic topology, can effectively improve the drug loading and utilization; herein we report a pH-responsive cyclic brush zwitterionic polymer (CB) with SBMA and DMAEMA as brushes and a cyclic polymer (c-P(HEMA)) as the core template, possessing a low coefficient of friction (0.017). After loading with hydrophobic curcumin and hydrophilic loxoprofen sodium it demonstrates high drug-loading efficiency. In vitro and in vivo experiments confirmed the triple function of the CB on superlubrication, sequence controlled release and anti-inflammatory effects demonstrated by Micro CT, histological analysis and qRT-PCR. Overall, the CB is a promising long-acting lubricating therapeutic agent, with potential for OA treatment or other diseases.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory immune and lubrication dysfunction disease that causes great damage to the joints. Herein, inspired by the unique biochemistry structure and excellent hydration of chondroitin sulfate (CHI) existing in joint system, one kind of novel polysaccharide nanoparticle lubricant, that is chitosan nanoparticles (CS NPs) grafting CHI (CS-CHI), is synthesized by one-step surface chemistry reaction. CHI with negative charges can form hydration layers on the surface of CS NPs, thus improving the lubricity of nanoparticles. Simultaneously, CS-CHI NPs have effective loading and sustained drug release ability for anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac sodium (DS), along with good biocompatibility. Finally, based on a collagen-induced rat RA model, in vitro animals experimental results indicate that the as-synthesized CS-CHI@DS NPs has obvious inhibitory effects on inflammatory factors and can effectively prevent the damaged cartilage from further destruction.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic joint pathology that has become a predominant cause of disability worldwide. Even though the origin and evolution of OA rely on different factors that are not yet elucidated nor understood, the development of novel strategies to treat OA has emerged in the last years. Cartilage degradation is the main hallmark of the pathology though alterations in bone and synovial inflammation, among other comorbidities, are also involved during OA progression. From a molecular point of view, a vast amount of signaling pathways are implicated in the progression of the disease, opening up a wide plethora of targets to attenuate or even halt OA. The main purpose of this review is to shed light on the recent strategies published based on nanotechnology for the early diagnosis of the disease as well as the most promising nano-enabling therapeutic approaches validated in preclinical models. To address the clinical issue, the key pathways involved in OA initiation and progression are described as the main potential targets for OA prevention and early treatment. Furthermore, an overview of current therapeutic strategies is depicted. Finally, to solve the drawbacks of current treatments, nanobiomedicine has shown demonstrated benefits when using drug delivery systems compared with the administration of the equivalent doses of the free drugs and the potential of disease-modifying OA drugs when using nanosystems. We anticipate that the development of smart and specific bioresponsive and biocompatible nanosystems will provide a solid and promising basis for effective OA early diagnosis and treatment. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Implantable Materials and Surgical Technologies > Nanotechnology in Tissue Repair and Replacement.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with lubrication failure of articular cartilage and severe inflammatory response of joint capsule. Synergistic therapy combining joint lubrication and anti-inflammation emerges as a novel treatment of OA. In this study, bioinspired by ultralow friction of natural articular synovial fluid and mussel adhesion chemistry, a biomimetic nanosystem with dual functions of enhanced lubrication and stimuli-responsive drug release is developed. A dopamine mediated strategy realizes one step biomimetic grafting of hyaluronic acid (HA) on fluorinated graphene. The polymer modified sheets exhibit highly efficient near-infrared absorption, and show steady lubrication with a long time under various working conditions, in which the coefficient of friction is reduced by 75% compared to H2 O. Diclofenac sodium (DS) with a high loading capacity of 29.2% is controllably loaded, and responsive and sustained drug release is adjusted by near-infrared light. Cell experiments reveal that the lubricating nanosystem is taken up by endocytosis, and anti-inflammation results confirm that the nanosystem inhibits osteoarthritis deterioration by upregulating cartilage anabolic gene and downregulating catabolic proteases and pain-related gene. This work proposes a promising biomimetic approach to integrate polymer modified fluorinated graphene as a dual-functional nanosystem for effective synergistic therapy of OA.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most common degenerative and highly prevalent joint disease, characterized by progressive loss and destruction of articular cartilage. The damaged cartilage surface has an increased friction, which causes patients to suffer from serious pain. Restoring the lubrication ability of the joint is central to the treatment of osteoarthritis, a key topic in medical research. A variety of lubricants have been designed to reduce friction in joints and promote cartilage tissue repair to alleviate the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Herein, we review the recent progress of lubricants from the three perspectives of natural, bioinspired, and alternative strategies for osteoarthritis treatment, as well as the structural characterization and lubrication properties of such lubricants. Specifically, natural lubricants include glycosaminoglycans, lubricin and lipids in joints, bioinspired lubricants include scaffolds mimicking hyaluronic acid or lubricin, and alternative lubricants include modified lubricants based on hyaluronic acid, lipids, nanoparticles, and peptides. We also discuss the current challenges and long-term perspectives for further research in this area.

Abstract
The term "zwitterionic polymers" refers to polymers that bear a pair of oppositely charged groups in their repeating units. When these oppositely charged groups are equally distributed at the molecular level, the molecules exhibit an overall neutral charge with a strong hydration effect via ionic solvation. The strong hydration effect constitutes the foundation of a series of exceptional properties of zwitterionic materials, including resistance to protein adsorption, lubrication at interfaces, promotion of protein stabilities, antifreezing in solutions, etc. As a result, zwitterionic materials have drawn great attention in biomedical and engineering applications in recent years. In this review, we give a comprehensive and panoramic overview of zwitterionic materials, covering the fundamentals of hydration and nonfouling behaviors, different types of zwitterionic surfaces and polymers, and their biomedical applications.

Abstract
Lipid-based boundary layers formed on liposome-containing hydrogels can facilitate lubrication. However, these boundary layers can be damaged by shear, resulting in decreased lubrication. Here, a shear-responsive boundary-lubricated drug-loaded hydrogel is created by incorporating celecoxib (CLX)-loaded liposomes within dynamic covalent bond-based hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels (CLX@Lipo@HA-gel). The dynamic cross-linked network enables the hydrogel to get restructured in response to shear, and the HA matrix allows the accumulation of internal liposome microreservoirs on the sliding surfaces, which results in the formation of boundary layers to provide stable lubrication. Moreover, hydration shells formed surrounding the hydrogel can retard the degradation process, thus helping in sustaining lubrication. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo experiments found that CLX@Lipo@HA-gels can maintain anabolic-catabolic balance, alleviate cartilage wear, and attenuate osteoarthritis progression by delivering CLX and shear-responsive boundary lubrication. Overall, CLX@Lipo@HA-gels can serve as shear-responsive boundary lubricants and drug-delivery vehicles to alleviate friction-related diseases like osteoarthritis.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent research on the design of polymer material systems based on biomimetic concepts and reports on the medical devices that implement these systems. Biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and phospholipids, present in living organisms, play important roles in biological activities. These molecules are characterized by heterogenic nature with hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity, and a balance of positive and negative charges, which provide unique reaction fields, interfaces, and functionality. Incorporating these molecules into artificial systems is expected to advance material science considerably. This approach to material design is exceptionally practical for medical devices that are in contact with living organisms. Here, it is focused on zwitterionic polymers with intramolecularly balanced charges and introduce examples of their applications in medical devices. Their unique properties make these polymers potential surface modification materials to enhance the performance and safety of conventional medical devices. This review discusses these devices; moreover, new surface technologies have been summarized for developing human-friendly medical devices using zwitterionic polymers in the cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, orthopedic, and ophthalmology fields.

Abstract
The construction of porous nanocarriers with good lubricating performance and stimuli-responsive drug release is significant for the synergetic therapy of osteoarthritis (OA). Although metal-organic framework nanoparticles (nanoMOFs) as carriers can support drug delivery, achieving the synergy of aqueous lubrication and stimuli-responsive drug release is challenging. In this work, a core-shell nanoMOFs@poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm) microgel hybrid via one-pot soap-free emulsion polymerization is developed. Programmable growth of the PNIPAm microgel layer on the surface of nanoMOFs is achieved by tuning the concentration of the monomer and the crosslinker in the reaction. Reversible swelling-collapsing behaviors of the hybrid are realized by tuning the temperature below and above the lower critical solution temperature. When used as water lubrication additives, the hybrid enables reductions in both the coefficient of friction and wear volume. In vitro thermal-responsive drug release is demonstrated on the diclofenac sodium-loaded hybrid by controlling the swelling and collapsing states of the PNIPAm nanolayer. Moreover, the good biocompatibility of the hybrid is verified by culturing toward HeLa and BEAS-2B cells. These results establish a nanoMOFs@microgel hybrid that can achieve friction and wear reduction and thermal-responsive drug release.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is associated with an increase in mechanical friction of the joint, which causes irreversible damage to articular cartilage. Consequently, it is crucial to restore joint lubrication for effectively treating osteoarthritis. In the present study, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based zwitterionic nanospheres with phosphocholine groups on the surface were synthesized, which achieved excellent lubrication behavior due to the hydration lubrication mechanism. Specifically, HA was initially thiolated and modified with hexadecylamine based on an amidation reaction, then it was grafted with 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphocholine (MPC) by the thiol-ene click reaction, and finally self-assembled into nanospheres (HA-MPC) by hydrophobic interaction and cross-linking of the thiol group. The lubrication test demonstrated that the HA-MPC nanospheres improved lubrication under shear force, with a 40% reduction in the friction coefficient compared with HA. The in vitro experiment indicated that the HA-MPC nanospheres had excellent biocompatibility, and they upregulated the cartilage anabolic gene and downregulated cartilage catabolic proteases as well as the pain-related gene. The in vivo test showed that the injection of HA-MPC nanospheres to the joint cavity could inhibit the development of osteoarthritis, which was examined based on histological staining and also morphological evaluation. In conclusion, the new self-assembled zwitterionic HA-MPC nanospheres may be intra-articularly injected for the effective treatment of osteoarthritis by restoring joint lubrication.

Abstract
Nanofat (NF) is a fine emulsion that has been used to treat a variety of diseases given its abundance of bioactive components. However, the biological functions of NF have been limited due to its inability to localize during implantation. In this study, NF was immobilized in microfluidic-generated aldehyde-modified polylactic glycolic acid (PLGA) porous microspheres (PMs) via Schiff base condensation and non-covalent binding in a three-dimensional (3D) porous network (PMs@NF). The PMs effectively enhanced the cartilage-targeted retention efficiency of NF, which also resulted in remarkable lubrication performance, with the friction coefficient being reduced by ∼80%, which was maintained over time. Meanwhile, the 3D penetrating structure of the microspheres stimulated cytokine secretion by the NF-derived stem cells, upregulating the expression of anabolism-related genes and downregulating catabolism, and the expression of inflammation-related and pain-related genes. Injecting PMs@NF into the knee joint cavity of a rat model with destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) reduced osteophyte formation and protected the cartilage from degeneration, thereby inhibiting the progression of osteoarthritis and improving animal behavior. In summary, this study developed a multifunctional platform with NF immobilization and super-lubrication, which showed great potential for the minimally invasive treatment of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient and biocompatible biolubricants for arthritis treatment is extraordinarily demanded. Herein, inspired by the efficient lubrication of synovial joints, a paradigm that combines natural polysaccharide (chitosan) with zwitterionic poly[2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl phosphorylcholine] (PMPC), to design a series of brush-like Chitosan-g-PMPC copolymers with highly efficient biological lubrication and good biocompatibility is presented. The Chitosan-g-PMPC copolymers are prepared via facile one-step graft polymerization in aqueous medium without using any toxic catalysts and organic solvents. The as-prepared Chitosan-g-PMPC copolymers exhibit very low coefficient of friction (μ < 0.01) on Ti6 Al4 V alloy substrate in both pure water and biological fluids. The superior lubrication is attributed primarily to the hydrated feature of PMPC side chains, interface adsorption of copolymer as well as to the hydrodynamic effect. In vivo experiments confirm that Chitosan-g-PMPC can alleviate the swelling symptom of arthritis and protect the bone and cartilage from destruction. Due to their facile preparation, distinctive lubrication properties, and good biocompatibility, Chitosan-g-PMPC copolymers represent a new type of biomimetic lubricants derived from natural biopolymer for promising arthritis treatment and artificial joint lubrication.

Abstract
Introducing hydration layers to hydrogel microspheres (HMs) by coating the surface with liposomes can effectively reduce friction. However, the lubrication can be inactivated when the surface coatings are damaged. To endow HMs with the ability to form self-renewable hydration layers and maintain cellular homeostasis, rapamycin-liposome-incorporating hyaluronic acid-based HMs (RAPA@Lipo@HMs) were created using microfluidic technology and photopolymerization processes. The RAPA@Lipo@HMs improve joint lubrication by using a smooth rolling mechanism and continuously exposing liposomes on the outer surface to form self-renewable hydration layers via frictional wear. In addition, the released autophagy activator (rapamycin)-loaded cationic liposomes can target negatively charged cartilage through electrostatic interactions and maintain cellular homeostasis by increasing autophagy. Furthermore, the in vivo data showed that the RAPA@Lipo@HMs can alleviate joint wear and delay the progression of osteoarthritis. The RAPA@Lipo@HMs can provide efficient lubrication and potentially alleviate friction-related diseases such as osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Antiadhesion barriers such as films and hydrogels used to wrap repaired tendons are important for preventing the formation of adhesion tissue after tendon surgery. However, sliding of the tendon can compress the adjacent hydrogel barrier and cause it to rupture, which may then lead to unexpected inflammation. Here, a self-healing and deformable hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel is constructed as a peritendinous antiadhesion barrier. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)-degradable gelatin-methacryloyl (GelMA) microspheres (MSs) encapsulated with Smad3-siRNA nanoparticles are entrapped within the HA hydrogel to inhibit fibroblast proliferation and prevent peritendinous adhesion. GelMA MSs are responsively degraded by upregulation of MMP-2, achieving on-demand release of siRNA nanoparticles. Silencing effect of Smad3-siRNA nanoparticles is around 75% toward targeted gene. Furthermore, the self-healing hydrogel shows relatively attenuated inflammation compared to non-healing hydrogel. The mean adhesion scores of composite barrier group are 1.67 ± 0.51 and 2.17 ± 0.75 by macroscopic and histological evaluation, respectively. The proposed self-healing hydrogel antiadhesion barrier with MMP-2-responsive drug release behavior is highly effective for decreasing inflammation and inhibiting tendon adhesion. Therefore, this research provides a new strategy for the development of safe and effective antiadhesion barriers.

Abstract
Particle-based drug delivery systems have a demonstrated value in osteoarthritis treatment. Research in this area trends to developing functional particles to improve the therapeutic effects. Herein, inspired by the super lubricated surface of ice that consists of a contiguous and ultrathin layer of bound water, we developed a 2-methylacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) decorated methacrylate anhydride- hyaluronic acid (HAMA) drug delivery particle with satisfying strength and enhanced lubrication from microfluidic electrospray for osteoarthritis treatment. Benefiting from the precise control of microfluidic electrospray flows, the generated drug delivery particles are imparted with well-tailored sizes and good dispersion. As the generated HAMA particles were modified by MPC with the positively (N+(CH3)3) and negatively (PO4-) charged chemical groups, they were imparted with enhanced lubrication effect and reduced friction on the joint interface by forming a hydrated lubricating layer. We have demonstrated that the MPC-modified HAMA particles could be employed as microcarriers for loading diclofenac sodium (DS) to inhibit the inflammatory response, thus further enhancing the osteoarthritis therapeutic effect in vivo and in vitro. Thus, the proposed drug delivery particles with satisfactory biocompatibility and therapeutic effect are great potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent degenerative joint disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Currently, clinical nonsurgical treatments of OA are only limited to pain relief, anti-inflammation, and viscosupplementation. Developing disease-modifying OA drugs (DMOADs) is highly demanded for the efficient treatment of OA. As OA is a local disease, intra-articular (IA) injection directly delivers drugs to synovial joints, resulting in high-concentration drugs in the joint and reduced side effects, accompanied with traditional oral or topical administrations. However, the injected drugs are rapidly cleaved. By properly designing the drug delivery systems, prolonged retention time and targeting could be obtained. In this review, we summarize the drugs investigated for OA treatment and recent advances in the IA drug delivery systems, including micro- and nano-particles, liposomes, and hydrogels, hoping to provide some information for designing the IA injected formulations.

Abstract
Since titanium alloys have been widely used as joint replacement biomaterials, their superficial lubrication has evolved to be a critical factor for normal use. For this purpose, one kind of typical microgel, poly(NIPAAm-co-AA), was synthesized by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and used as an aqueous lubricating additive between titanium alloy contacts. The results show that the as-synthesized microgels reduced the coefficient of friction by 46% and the wear volume by 45%, compared with pure water. Meanwhile, due to their thermosensitive property, the microgels were employed as smart additives to modulate the interfacial friction, which was attributed to the transition of the hydrated state and the elastic deformation of microgel particles. To further dissect the lubrication mechanism, it was found that the lubricating property of microgels was substantially associated with the formation of a hydrated layer surrounding microgels, microbearing effect, interfacial adsorption, and the colloidal stability. Looking beyond, as one kind of soft colloidal lubricant, the microgels may play an important role in the biomedical metal lubrication.

Abstract
Challenges to discovery and preclinical development of long‐acting release systems for protein therapeutics include protein instability, use of organic solvents during encapsulation, specialized equipment and personnel, and high costs of proteins. We sought to overcome these issues by combining remote‐loading self‐healing encapsulation with binding HisTag protein to transition metal ions. Porous, drug‐free self‐healing microspheres of copolymers of lactic and glycolic acids with high molecular weight dextran sulfate and immobilized divalent transition metal (M2+) ions were placed in the presence of proteins with or without HisTags to bind the protein in the pores of the polymer before healing the surface pores with modest temperature. Using human serum albumin, insulin‐like growth factor 1, and granulocyte‐macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF), encapsulated efficiencies of immunoreactive protein relative to nonencapsulation protein solutions increased from ~41%, ~23%, and ~9%, respectively, without Zn2+ and HisTags to ~100%, ~83%, and ~75% with Zn2+ and HisTags. These three proteins were continuously released in immunoreactive form over seven to ten weeks to 73%–100% complete release, and GM‐CSF showed bioactivity >95% relative to immunoreactive protein throughout the release interval. Increased encapsulation efficiencies were also found with other divalent transition metals ions (Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+), but not with Ca2+. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was found to interfere with this process, reverting encapsulation efficiency back to Zn2+‐free levels. These results indicate that M2+‐immobilized self‐healing microspheres can be prepared for simple and efficient encapsulation by simple mixing in aqueous solutions. These formulations provide slow and continuous release of immunoreactive proteins of diverse types by using a amount of protein (e.g., <10 μg), which may be highly useful in the discovery and early preclinical development phase of new protein active pharmaceutical ingredients, allowing for improved translation to further development of potent proteins for local delivery.

Abstract
The remarkable lubrication properties of normal articular cartilage play an essential role in daily life, providing almost frictionless movements of joints. Alterations of cartilage surface or degradation of biomacromolecules within synovial fluid increase the wear and tear of the cartilage and hence determining the onset of the most common joint disease, osteoarthritis (OA). The irreversible and progressive degradation of articular cartilage is the hallmark of OA. Considering the absence of effective options to treat OA, the mechanosensitivity of chondrocytes has captured attention. As the only embedded cells in cartilage, the metabolism of chondrocytes is essential in maintaining homeostasis of cartilage, which triggers motivations to understand what is behind the low friction of cartilage and develop biolubrication-based strategies to postpone or even possibly heal OA. This review firstly focuses on the mechanism of cartilage lubrication, particularly on boundary lubrication. Then the mechanotransduction (especially shear stress) of chondrocytes is discussed. The following summarizes the recent development of cartilage-inspired biolubricants to highlight the correlation between cartilage lubrication and OA. One might expect that the restoration of cartilage lubrication at the early stage of OA could potentially promote the regeneration of cartilage and reverse its pathology to cure OA.

Biomimetic injectable hydrogel microspheres with enhanced lubrication and controllable drug release for the treatment of osteoarthritis. Bioact Mater 2021; 6:3596-3607.

Abstract
The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA) is highly associated with the reduced lubrication property of the joint, where a progressive and irreversible damage of the articular cartilage and consecutive inflammatory response dominate the mechanism. In this study, bioinspired by the super-lubrication property of cartilage and catecholamine chemistry of mussel, we successfully developed injectable hydrogel microspheres with enhanced lubrication and controllable drug release for OA treatment. Particularly, the lubricating microspheres (GelMA@DMA-MPC) were fabricated by dip coating a self-adhesive polymer (DMA-MPC, synthesized by free radical copolymerization) on superficial surface of photo-crosslinked methacrylate gelatin hydrogel microspheres (GelMA, prepared via microfluidic technology), and encapsulated with an anti-inflammatory drug of diclofenac sodium (DS) to achieve the dual-functional performance. The tribological test and drug release test showed the enhanced lubrication and sustained drug release of the GelMA@DMA-MPC microspheres. In addition, the functionalized microspheres were intra-articularly injected into the rat knee joint with an OA model, and the biological tests including qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence staining assay, X-ray radiography and histological staining assay all revealed that the biocompatible microspheres provided significant therapeutic effect against the development of OA. In summary, the injectable hydrogel microspheres developed herein greatly improved lubrication and achieved sustained local drug release, therefore representing a facile and promising technique for the treatment of OA.

Abstract
Joint diseases that mainly lead to articular cartilage injury with prolonged severe pain as well as dysfunction have remained unexplained for many years. One of the main reasons is that damaged articular cartilage is unable to repair and regenerate by itself. Furthermore, current therapy, including drug therapy and operative treatment, cannot solve the problem. Fortunately, the micro-/nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel platform provides a new strategy for the treatment of articular cartilage-related diseases, owing to its outstanding biocompatibility, high loading capability, and controlled release effect. The hybrid platform is effective for controlling symptoms of pain, inflammation and dysfunction, and cartilage repair and regeneration. In this review, we attempt to summarize recent studies on the latest development of micro-/nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel for the treatment of articular cartilage-related diseases. Furthermore, some prospects are proposed, aiming to improve the properties of the micro-/nanoparticle hybrid hydrogel platform so as to offer useful new ideas for the effective and accurate treatment of articular cartilage-related diseases.

Abstract
Elevated levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are recognized as a crucial indicator of hyperlipidemia (HLP) and lowering of LDL levels represents an effective clinical treatment strategy. Inspired by the conjugation of phospholipid monolayers and the lipid content of the LDL particle, the current study describes the preparation of an innovative hemoperfusion adsorbent. The adsorbent was prepared by attachment of phosphatidyl ethanolamine to poly(acrylic acid) modified poly(vinyl alcohol-co-triallyl isocyanurate) beads (PVA@PAA-PE). The interaction between LDL and adsorbent mimics the lipoprotein microemulsion present in the blood and thus promotes efficient binding with high affinity. In vitro adsorption using serum from patients with HLP revealed that the LDL adsorption of PVA@PAA-PE was 4.44 times higher than that of controls and the removal rate of LDL using PVA@PAA-PE was about twice as high as that of the anti-atherogenic high-density lipoprotein (HDL). In vivo whole blood perfusion demonstrated the superior affinity of PVA@PAA-PE for LDL since LDL concentration was significantly reduced from 10.71 ± 2.36 mmol L-1 to 6.21 ± 1.45 mmol L-1, while the HDL level was not severely reduced (from 0.98 ± 0.12 mmol L-1 to 0.56 ± 0.15 mmol L-1). Additionally, PVA@PAA-PE exhibited excellent hemocompatibility and low cytotoxicity. Therefore, PVA@PAA-PE is a potential adsorbent for whole blood perfusion to treat hyperlipidemia.

Abstract
Recovery from bone, osteochondral, and cartilage injuries/diseases has been burdensome owing to the damaged vasculature of large defects and/or avascular nature of cartilage leading to a lack of nutrients and supplying cells. However, traditional means of treatment such as microfractures and cell-based therapy only display limited efficacy due to the inability to ensure cell survival and potential aggravation of surrounding tissues. Exosomes have recently emerged as a powerful tool for this tissue repair with its complex content of transcription factors, proteins, and targeting ligands, as well as its unique ability to home in on target cells thanks to its phospholipidic nature. They are engineered to serve specialized applications including enhancing repair, anti-inflammation, regulating homeostasis, etc. via means of physical, chemical, and biological modulations in its deriving cell culture environments. This review focuses on the engineering means to functionalize exosomes for bone, osteochondral, and cartilage regeneration, with an emphasis on conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and osteonecrosis. Finally, future implications for exosome development will be given alongside its potential combination with other strategies to improve its therapeutic efficacy in the osteochondral niche.

Abstract
Lamellar liquid crystals have amazing lubricating and drug-solubilizing properties. Hence, the combination of drug molecules with lamellar liquid crystals is expected to be used in joint lubrication and treatment. In this study, the partial phase diagram of the Tween 85/Tween 80/H2O three-component system was determined. The phase structure of the system changed from a hexagonal liquid crystal to a lamellar liquid crystal with the increase of Tween 85 content. The lamellar liquid crystals showed superior lubricating properties due to their unique lamellar structure. Furthermore, the model of drug release during friction was established for the first time. It was found that the order of the lamellar liquid crystals increased with the increase of the mass ratio of Tween 85/Tween 80, leading to the decrease of the ibuprofen release rate. In addition, the release rate of ibuprofen increased progressively with the increase of the friction frequency, but the load had little effect on it. Therefore, the lamellar liquid crystals consisting of nonionic surfactants with good biocompatibility have potential application prospects for joint lubrication and treatment of arthritis.

Abstract
Bone diseases constitute a major issue for modern societies as a consequence of progressive aging. Advantages such as open mesoporous channel, high specific surface area, ease of surface modification, and multifunctional integration are the driving forces for the application of mesoporous nanoparticles (MNs) in bone disease diagnosis and treatment. To achieve better therapeutic effects, it is necessary to understand the properties of MNs and cargo delivery mechanisms, which are the foundation and key in the design of MNs. The main types and characteristics of MNs for bone regeneration, such as mesoporous silica (mSiO2 ), mesoporous hydroxyapatite (mHAP), mesoporous calcium phosphates (mCaPs) are introduced. Additionally, the relationship between the cargo release mechanisms and bone regeneration of MNs-based nanocarriers is elucidated in detail. Particularly, MNs-based smart cargo transport strategies such as sustained cargo release, stimuli-responsive (e.g., pH, photo, ultrasound, and multi-stimuli) controllable delivery, and specific bone-targeted therapy for bone disease diagnosis and treatment are analyzed and discussed in depth. Lastly, the conclusions and outlook about the design and development of MNs-based cargo delivery systems in diagnosis and treatment for bone tissue engineering are provided to inspire new ideas and attract researchers' attention from multidisciplinary areas spanning chemistry, materials science, and biomedicine.
