Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 261:129932.

Abstract
Hydrogels possessing both conductive characteristics and notable antibacterial and antioxidant properties hold considerable significance within the realm of wound healing and recovery. The object of current study is the development of conductive hydrogels with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, emphasizing their potential for effective wound healing, especially in treating third-degree burns. For this purpose, various conductive hydrogels are developed based on tragacanth and silk fibroin, with variable dopamine functionalized carboxyl-capped aniline pentamer (CAP@DA). The FTIR analysis confirms that the CAP powder was successfully synthesized and modified with DA. The results show that the incorporation of CAP@DA into hydrogels can increase the porosity and swellability of the hydrogels. Additionally, the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of the hydrogels are also improved. The release of vancomycin from the hydrogels is sustained over time, and the hydrogels are effective in inhibiting the growth of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In vitro cell studies of the hydrogels show that all hydrogels are biocompatible and support cell attachment. The hydrogels' tissue adhesiveness yielded a satisfactory hemostatic outcome in a rat-liver injury model. The third-degree burn was created on the dorsal back paravertebral region of the rats and then grafted with hydrogels. The burn was monitored for 3, 7, and 14 days to evaluate the efficacy of the hydrogel in promoting wound healing. The hydrogels revealed treatment effect, resulting in enhancements in wound closure, dermal collagen matrix production, new blood formation, and anti-inflammatory properties. Better results were obtained for hydrogel with increasing CAP@DA. In summary, the multifunctional conducive hydrogel, featuring potent antibacterial properties, markedly facilitated the wound regeneration process.

Abstract
Flexible sensors have attracted great attention due to their wide applications in various fields such as motion monitoring and medical health. It is reasonable to develop a sensor with good flexibility, sensitivity, and biocompatibility for wearable device applications. In this study, a double-network hydrogel was obtained by blending poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), which combines the flexibility of the PVA network and the fast photocuring ability of PEGDA. Subsequently, polydopamine-coated carbon nanotubes were used as conductive fillers of the PVA-PEG hydrogel matrix to prepare a flexible sensor that exhibits an effective mechanical response and significant stability in mechanics and conductivity. More importantly, the resistance of the sensor is very sensitive to pressure and thermal changes due to the optimized conductive network in the hydrogel. A motion monitoring test showed that the flexible sensor not only responds quickly to the motion of different joints but also keeps the output signal stable after many cycles. In addition, the excellent cell affinity of the hybrid hydrogel also encourages its application in health monitoring and motion sensors.

Abstract
Polysaccharides, being a natural, active, and biodegradable polymer, have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional properties. These properties make them ideal for creating multifunctional hydrogels that can be used as wound dressings for skin injuries. Polysaccharide hydrogel has the ability to both simulate the natural extracellular matrix, promote cell proliferation, and provide a suitable environment for wound healing while protecting it from bacterial invasion. Polysaccharide hydrogels offer a promising solution for repairing damaged skin. This review provides an overview of the mechanisms involved in skin damage repair and emphasizes the potential of polysaccharide hydrogels in this regard. For different skin injuries, polysaccharide hydrogels can play a role in promoting wound healing. However, we still need to conduct more research on polysaccharide hydrogels to provide more possibilities for skin damage repair.

Abstract
Pathological hair loss (also known as alopecia) and shortage of hair follicle (HF) donors have posed an urgent requirement for HF regeneration. With the revelation of mechanisms in tissue engineering, the proliferation of HFs in vitro has achieved more promising trust for the treatments of alopecia and other skin impairments. Theoretically, HF organoids have great potential to develop into native HFs and attachments such as sweat glands after transplantation. However, since the rich extracellular matrix (ECM) deficiency, the induction characteristics of skin-derived cells gradually fade away along with their trichogenic capacity after continuous cell passaging in vitro. Therefore, ECM-mimicking support is an essential prelude before HF transplantation is implemented. This review summarizes the status of providing various epidermal and dermal cells with a three-dimensional (3D) scaffold to support the cell homeostasis and better mimic in vivo environments for the sake of HF regeneration. HF-relevant cells including dermal papilla cells (DPCs), hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs), and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are able to be induced to form HF organoids in the vitro culture system. The niche microenvironment simulated by different forms of biomaterial scaffold can offer the cells a network of ordered growth environment to alleviate inductivity loss and promote the expression of functional proteins. The scaffolds often play the role of ECM substrates and bring about epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (EMI) through coculture to ensure the functional preservation of HF cells during in vitro passage. Functional HF organoids can be formed either before or after transplantation into the dermis layer. Here, we review and emphasize the importance of 3D culture in HF regeneration in vitro. Finally, the latest progress in treatment trials and critical analysis of the properties and benefits of different emerging biomaterials for HF regeneration along with the main challenges and prospects of HF regenerative approaches are discussed.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic physiological process consisting of a series of cellular and molecular events that initiate immediately after a tissue lesion, to reconstruct the skin layer. It is indubitable that patients with chronic wounds, severely infected wounds, or any metabolic disorder of the wound microenvironment always endure severe pain and discomfort that affect their quality of life. It is essential to treat chronic wounds for conserving the physical as well as mental well-being of affected patients and for convalescing to improve their quality of life. For supporting and augmenting the healing process, the selection of pertinent wound dressing is essential. A substantial reduction in healing duration, disability, associated cost, and risk of recurrent infections can be achieved via engineering wound dressings. Hydrogels play a leading role in the path of engineering ideal wound dressings. Hydrogels, comprising water to a large extent, providing a moist environment, being comfortable to patients, and having biocompatible and biodegradable properties, have found their success as suitable wound dressings in the market. The exploitation of hydrogels is increasing perpetually after substantiation of their broader therapeutic actions owing to their resemblance to dermal tissues, their capability to stimulate partial skin regeneration, and their ability to incorporate therapeutic moieties promoting wound healing. This review entails properties of hydrogel supporting wound healing, types of hydrogels, cross-linking mechanisms, design considerations, and formulation strategies of hydrogel engineering. Various categories of hydrogel wound dressing fabricated recently are discussed based on their gel network composition, degradability, and physical and chemical cross-linking mechanisms, which provide an outlook regarding the importance of tailoring the physicochemical properties of hydrogels. The examples of marketed hydrogel wound dressings are also incorporated along with the future perspectives and challenges associated with them.

Abstract
The development of ideal wound dressing with excellent properties, such as exudate absorption capacity, drug release control ability, and increased wound healing, is currently a major requirement for wound healing. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a biodegradable semi-crystalline synthetic polymer that has been used in the field of biotechnology such as tissue regeneration, wound dressing, and drug delivery systems. In recent years, PVA-based wound dressing materials have received considerable attention due to their excellent properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity and low cost. PVA can be used as a wound dressing material to create the necessary moist wound environment, improve the physical properties of the dressing, and increase the wound healing rates. In addition, PVA can also be mixed with other organic and inorganic materials and can be used for drug delivery and wound healing. This review article addresses the role of biomaterials based on PVA mixed with other ingredients for wound dressing. It also focuses on its recent use in wound dressings as carriers of active substances.

Abstract
We proposed a simple method to process hydrogels containing polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanofibrils (PVA/CNF) to prepare volumetric architectures by direct ink writing (DIW). The presence of CNF in the aqueous PVA suspensions conferred rheology profiles that were suitable for extrusion and solidification in pre-designed shapes. The viscoelastic behavior of the hybrid inks enabled precise control on processability and shape retention, for instance, as demonstrated in multilayered lattice structures of high fidelity. After lyophilization, the obtained 3D-printed hydrogels presented a very high porosity, with open and interconnected pores, allowing a high-water uptake capacity (up to 1600%). The mechanical strength of the composite 3D-printed materials matched those of soft tissues, opening opportunities for skin applications. As such, drug-loaded samples revealed a controlled and efficient delivery of an antioxidant (ascorbic acid) in PBS buffer media at 23 °C (~80% for 8 h). Altogether, PVA/CNF hydrogels were introduced as suitable precursors of 3D-lattice geometries with excellent physical and mechanical characteristics.
