Abstract
Chitosan bio-adhesives bond strongly with various biological tissues, such as skin, mucosa, and internal organs. Their adhesive ability arises from amino acid and hydroxyl groups in chitosan, facilitating interactions with tissue surfaces through chemical (ionic, covalent, and hydrogen) and physical (chain entanglement) bonding. As non-toxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible materials, chitosan bio-adhesives are a safe option for medical therapies. They are particularly suitable for drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. In this review, we address chitosan-based bio-adhesives and the mechanisms associated with them. We also discuss different chitosan composite-based bio-adhesives and their biomedical applications in wound healing, drug delivery, hemostasis, and tissue regeneration. Finally, challenges and future perspectives for the clinical use of chitosan-based bio-adhesives are discussed.

Abstract
Polysaccharides (PSAs) are carbohydrate-based macromolecules widely used in the biomedical field, either in their pure form or in blends/nanocomposites with other materials. The relationship between structure, properties, and functions has inspired scientists to design multifunctional PSAs for various biomedical applications by incorporating unique molecular structures and targeted bulk properties. Multiple strategies, such as conjugation, grafting, cross-linking, and functionalization, have been explored to control their mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, hydrophilicity, degradability, rheological features, and stimuli-responsiveness. For instance, custom-made PSAs are known for their worldwide biomedical applications in tissue engineering, drug/gene delivery, and regenerative medicine. Furthermore, the remarkable advancements in supramolecular engineering and chemistry have paved the way for mission-oriented biomaterial synthesis and the fabrication of customized biomaterials. These materials can synergistically combine the benefits of biology and chemistry to tackle important biomedical questions. Herein, we categorize and summarize PSAs based on their synthesis methods, and explore the main strategies used to customize their chemical structures. We then highlight various properties of PSAs using practical examples. Lastly, we thoroughly describe the biomedical applications of tailor-made PSAs, along with their current existing challenges and potential future directions.

Abstract
The skin barrier is essential to prevent pathogenic invasion. When injury occurs, multiple biological pathways are promptly activated and wound repair processes are triggered. The effective healing of wounds is essential for survival, and dysfunction could result from aberrant wound repair. Preparation of many hydrogels, which involve the addition of growth/cell factors or mimic extracellular matrix (ECM) components, has not resulted in significant advances in tissue recovery. ECM contains a large number of biologically active molecules that activate a variety of cellular transduction pathways, which are essential for wound repair. Here, this work prepares hyaluronic acid-dopamine-thiourea (HA-DA-NCSN) hydrogels exhibiting ultrafast gelation in situ, following the methods of Xu et al., and subsequently designs a hydrogel containing ECM particles. In addition, the loaded ECM material, specifically decellularized ECM material, not only enhances the strength of the hydrogel network, but also delivers bioactive substances that make it a suitable platform for skin wound repair. The ECM hydrogel has great potential as an efficient bioactive wound dressing. This research suggests that this strategy is likely to improve skin wound closure in rat skin wound models.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Adjusting the water content and mechanical properties of polyelectrolyte coacervates for optimal underwater adhesion requires simultaneous control of the macromolecular design and the type and concentration of the salt used. Using synthetic or bio-inspired polymers to make coacervates often involves complicated chemistries and large variations in salt concentration. The underwater adhesiveness of simple, bio-sourced coacervates can be tuned with relatively small variations in salt concentration. Bio-sourced polymers can also impart beneficial biological activities to the final material. EXPERIMENTS We made complex coacervates from charged chitosan (CHI) and hyaluronic acid (HA) with NaCl as the salt. Their water content and viscoelastic properties were investigated to identify the formulation with optimal underwater adhesion in physiological conditions. The coacervates were also studied in antibacterial and cytotoxicity experiments. FINDINGS As predicted by linear rheology, the CHI-HA coacervates at 0.1 and 0.2 M NaCl had the highest pull-off adhesion strengths of 44.4 and 40.3 kPa in their respective supernatants. In-situ physical hardening of the 0.2 M coacervate upon a salt switch in 0.1 M NaCl resulted in a pull-off adhesion strength of 62.9 kPa. This material maintained its adhesive properties in physiological conditions. Finally, the optimal adhesive was found to be non-cytotoxic and inherently antimicrobial through a chitosan release-killing mechanism.

Abstract
Background: Cancer recurrence and metastasis are major contributors to treatment failure following tumor resection surgery. We developed a novel implantable drug delivery system utilizing glycol chitosan to address these issues. Glycol chitosan is a natural adjuvant, inducing dendritic cell activation to promote T helper 1 cell immune responses, macrophage activation, and cytokine production. Effective antigen production by dendritic cells initiates T-cell-mediated immune responses, aiding tumor growth control. Methods: In this study, we fabricated multifunctional methacrylated glycol chitosan (MGC) hydrogels with extended release of DNA/doxorubicin (DOX) complex for cancer immunotherapy. We constructed the resection model of breast cancer to verify the anticancer effects of MGC hydrogel with DNA/DOX complex. Results: This study demonstrated the potential of MGC hydrogel with extended release of DNA/DOX complex for local and efficient cancer therapy. The MGC hydrogel was implanted directly into the surgical site after tumor resection, activating tumor-related immune cells both locally and over a prolonged period of time through immune-reactive molecules. Conclusions: The MGC hydrogel effectively suppressed tumor recurrence and metastasis while enhancing immunotherapeutic efficacy and minimizing side effects. This biomaterial-based drug delivery system, combined with cancer immunotherapy, can substantial improve treatment outcomes and patient prognosis.

Abstract
Recently, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have gained the attention of scientists and industries as alternatives to sutures for sealing and closing wounds or incisions because of their ease of use, low cost, minimal tissue damage, and short application time. However, poor mechanical properties and weak adhesion strength limit the application of TAs, although numerous studies have attempted to develop new TAs with enhanced performance. Therefore, next-generation TAs with improved multifunctional properties are required. In this review, we address the requirements of polymeric TAs, adhesive characteristics, adhesion strength assessment methods, adhesion mechanisms, applications, advantages and disadvantages, and commercial products of polysaccharide (PS)-based TAs, including chitosan (CS), alginate (AL), dextran (DE), and hyaluronic acid (HA). Additionally, future perspectives are discussed.

Abstract
In the last decade, both cellulose and alginate polysaccharides have been extensively utilized for the synthesis of biocompatible hydrogels because of their alluring characteristics like low cost, biodegradability, hydrophilicity, biodegradability, ease of availability and non-toxicity. The presence of abundant hydrophilic functional groups (like carboxyl and hydroxyl) on the surface of cellulose and alginate or their derivatives makes these materials promising candidates for the preparation of hydrogels with appealing structures and characteristics, leading to growing research in water treatment and biomedical fields. These two polysaccharides are typically blended together to improve hydrogels' desired qualities (mechanical strength, adsorption properties, cellulose/alginate yield). So, keeping in view their extensive applicability, in the present review article, recent advances in the development of cellulose/nanocellulose-alginate-based hydrogels and their relevance in water treatment (adsorption of dyes, heavy metals, etc.) and biomedical field (wound healing, tissue engineering, drug delivery) has been reviewed. Further, impact of other inorganic/organic additives in cellulose/nanocellulose-alginate-based hydrogels properties like contaminants adsorption, drug delivery, tissue engineering, etc., has also been studied. Moreover, the current difficulties and future prospects of nanocellulose-alginate-based hydrogels regarding their water purification and biomedical applications are also discussed at the end.

Abstract
The treatment of diseases, such as cancer, is one of the most significant issues correlated with human beings health. Hydrogels (HGs) prepared from biocompatible and biodegradable materials, especially biopolymers, have been effectively employed for the sort of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems, biosensors, and tissue engineering. Chitosan (CS), one of the most abundant bio-polysaccharide derived from chitin, is an efficient biomaterial in the prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. CS-based HGs possess some potential advantages, like high values of bioactive encapsulation, efficient drug delivery to a target site, sustained drug release, good biocompatibility and biodegradability, high serum stability, non-immunogenicity, etc., which made them practical and useful for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. In this review, we summarize recent achievements and advances associated with CS-based HGs for drug delivery, regenerative medicine, disease detection and therapy.

Abstract
Antimicrobial hydrogels have received considerable attention in the treatment of bacteria-infected wounds. Herein, we develop a neutral, soluble collagen via modification with maleic anhydride, serving as a hydrogel precursor. Maleic anhydride-modified collagen (ColME) could form a gel after exposure to UV light and be loaded with the antimicrobial agents, nisin and levofloxacin, to acquire antimicrobial ability. The ColME hydrogel containing nisin and levofloxacin had good cytocompatibility and effectively killed pathogenic bacterial strains, such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The antimicrobial ColME hydrogels effectively supported the healing of a full-thickness skin wound infected with S. aureus in a mouse model. Our results demonstrate the potential of antimicrobial hydrogels as effective wound dressings via in situ photogelation for the healing of infected wounds.

Abstract
3D bioprinting is a new 3D manufacturing technology, that can be used to accurately distribute and load microorganisms to form microbial active materials with multiple complex functions. Based on the 3D printing of human cells in tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting technology has been developed. Although 3D bioprinting technology is still immature, it shows great potential in the environmental field. Due to the precise programming control and multi-printing pathway, 3D bioprinting technology provides a high-throughput method based on micron-level patterning for a wide range of environmental microbiological engineering applications, which makes it an on-demand, multi-functional manufacturing technology. To date, 3D bioprinting technology has been employed in microbial fuel cells, biofilm material preparation, microbial catalysts and 4D bioprinting with time dimension functions. Nevertheless, current 3D bioprinting technology faces technical challenges in improving the mechanical properties of materials, developing specific bioinks to adapt to different strains, and exploring 4D bioprinting for intelligent applications. Hence, this review systematically analyzes the basic technical principles of 3D bioprinting, bioinks materials and their applications in the environmental field, and proposes the challenges and future prospects of 3D bioprinting in the environmental field. Combined with the current development of microbial enhancement technology in the environmental field, 3D bioprinting will be developed into an enabling platform for multifunctional microorganisms and facilitate greater control of in situ directional reactions.

Abstract
Bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties enable easier and safer treatment of wounds as compared to the traditional methods such as suturing and stapling. Composed of natural or synthetic polymers, these bioadhesives seal wounds and facilitate healing while preventing infections through the activity of locally released antimicrobial drugs, nanocomponents, or inherently antimicrobial polers. Although many different materials and strategies are employed to develop antimicrobial bioadhesives, the design of these biomaterials necessitates a prudent approach as achieving all the required properties including optimal adhesive and cohesive properties, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity can be challenging. Designing antimicrobial bioadhesives with tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties will shed light on the path for future advancement of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties. In this review, the requirements and commonly used strategies for developing bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties are discussed. In particular, different methods for their synthesis and their experimental and clinical applications on a variety of organs are reviewed. Advances in the design of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties will pave the way for a better management of wounds to increase positive clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Conventional surgical closure techniques, such as sutures, clips, or skin closure strips, may not always provide optimal wound closure and may require invasive procedures, which can result in potential post-surgical complications. As result, there is a growing demand for innovative solutions to achieve superior wound closure and improve patient outcomes. To overcome the abovementioned issues, in situ generated hemostatic adhesives/sealants have emerged as a promising alternative, offering a targeted, controllable, and minimally invasive procedure for a wide variety of medical applications. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of action and recent advances of in situ generated hemostatic adhesives, particularly protein-based, thermoresponsive, bioinspired, and photocrosslinkable formulations, as well as the design challenges that must be addressed. Overall, this review aims to enhance a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements of in situ generated hemostatic adhesives and their mechanisms of action, with the objective of promoting further research in this field.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have emerged as a promising material for hydrogel preparation due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low cost. This review focuses on polysaccharide-based hydrogels' synthesis, characterization, and applications. The various synthetic methods used to prepare polysaccharide-based hydrogels are discussed. The characterization techniques are also highlighted to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of polysaccharide-based hydrogels. Finally, the applications of SAPs in various fields are discussed, along with their potential benefits and limitations. Due to environmental concerns, this review shows a growing interest in developing bio-sourced hydrogels made from natural materials such as polysaccharides. SAPs have many beneficial properties, including good mechanical and morphological properties, thermal stability, biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, abundance, economic viability, and good swelling ability. However, some challenges remain to be overcome, such as limiting the formulation complexity of some SAPs and establishing a general protocol for calculating their water absorption and retention capacity. Furthermore, the development of SAPs requires a multidisciplinary approach and research should focus on improving their synthesis, modification, and characterization as well as exploring their potential applications. Biocompatibility, biodegradation, and the regulatory approval pathway of SAPs should be carefully evaluated to ensure their safety and efficacy.

Abstract
Protein based photocrosslinking hydrogels with nanofiber dispersions were reported to be an effective wound dressing. In this study, two kinds of protein (gelatin and decellularized dermal matrix) were modified to obtain GelMA and ddECMMA, respectively. Poly(ε-caprolactone) nanofiber dispersions (PCLPBA) and thioglycolic acid-modified chitosan (TCS) were added into GelMA solution and ddECMMA solution, respectively. After photocrosslinking, four kinds of hydrogel (GelMA, GTP4, DP and DTP4) were fabricated. The hydrogels showed excellent physico-chemical property, biocompatibility and negligible cytotoxicity. When applied on the full-thickness cutaneous deficiency of SD rats, hydrogel treated groups exhibited an enhanced wound healing effect than Blank group. Besides, the histological staining of H&E and Masson's showed that hydrogels groups with PCLPBA and TCS (GTP4 and DTP4) improved wound healing. Furthermore, GTP4 group performed better healing effect than other groups, which had great potential in skin wound regeneration.

Abstract
The growing demand for drug carriers and green-technology-based tissue engineering materials has enabled the fabrication of different types of micro- and nano-assemblies. Hydrogels are a type of material that have been extensively investigated in recent decades. Their physical and chemical properties, such as hydrophilicity, resemblance to living systems, swelling ability and modifiability, make them suitable to be exploited for many pharmaceutical and bioengineering applications. This review deals with a brief account of green-manufactured hydrogels, their characteristics, preparations, importance in the field of green biomedical technology and their future perspectives. Only hydrogels based on biopolymers, and primarily on polysaccharides, are considered. Particular attention is given to the processes of extracting such biopolymers from natural sources and the various emerging problems for their processing, such as solubility. Hydrogels are catalogued according to the main biopolymer on which they are based and, for each type, the chemical reactions and the processes that enable their assembly are identified. The economic and environmental sustainability of these processes are commented on. The possibility of large-scale processing in the production of the investigated hydrogels are framed in the context of an economy aimed at waste reduction and resource recycling.

Abstract
The high prevalence of acquiring skin wounds, along with the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains that lead to infections, impose a threat to the physical, mental, and socioeconomic health of society. Among the wide array of wound dressings developed, hydrogels are regarded as a biomimetic soft matter of choice owing to their ability to provide a moist environment ideal for healing. Herein, neutral glycol chitosan (GC) was cross-linked via imine bonds with varying concentrations of dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (DP) to give glycol chitosan/dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol hydrogels (GC/DP). These dynamic Schiff base linkages (absorption peak at 1638 cm-1) within the hydrogel structure endowed their ability to recover from damage as characterized by high-low strain exposure in continuous step strain rheology. Along with their good injectability and biodegradability, the hydrogels exhibited remarkable inhibition against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and S. aureus. GC/DP hydrogels demonstrated high LC50 values in vivo using zebrafish embryos as a model system due to their relative biocompatibility and a remarkable 93.4 ± 0.88% wound contraction at 30-dpw against 49.1 ± 3.40% of the control. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that developed injectable glycol chitosan/dibenzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol self-healing hydrogels for application in wound healing with intrinsic bacteriostatic properties against the three bacteria.

Abstract
In this study, we prepared visible light-curable methacrylated glycol chitosan (MGC) hydrogel patches for the prenatal treatment of fetal myelomeningocele (MMC) and investigated their feasibility using a retinoic acid-induced fetal MMC rat model. 4, 5, and 6 w/v% of MGC were selected as candidate precursor solutions, and photo-cured for 20 s, because the resulting hydrogels were found to possess concentration dependent tunable mechanical properties and structural morphologies. Moreover, these materials exhibited no foreign body reactions with good adhesive properties in animal studies. The inflammation scoring assessment in vivo exhibited the absence of foreign body reactions in MGC hydrogel treated lesion. The complete epithelial coverage of MMC was made with using 6 w/v% MGC hydrogel followed by well-organized granulation along with noticeable decrease of abortion rate and wound size that highlight the therapeutic potential for the prenatal treatment of fetal MMC.

Abstract
Injectable bioadhesives offer several advantages over conventional staples and sutures in surgery to seal and close incisions or wounds. Despite the growing research in recent years few injectable bioadhesives are available for clinical use. This review summarizes the key chemical features that enable the development and improvements in the use of polymeric injectable hydrogels as bioadhesives or sealants, their design requirements, the gelation mechanism, synthesis routes, and the role of adhesion mechanisms and strategies in different biomedical applications. It is envisaged that developing a deep understanding of the underlying materials chemistry principles will enable researchers to effectively translate bioadhesive technologies into clinically-relevant products.

Abstract
Hydrogels have outstanding research and application prospects in the field of product design. Among them, the design and preparation of cellulose-based functional hydrogels derived from bamboo have attracted increasing research interest. Cellulose-based hydrogels not only have the skeleton function of hydrogels, but also retain excellent specificity, smart structural design, precise molecular recognition ability, and superior biocompatibility. Cellulose-based hydrogels show important application prospects in various fields, such as environmental protection, biomedicine, and energy. What's more, they are potentially viable for application in food packaging and plant agriculture, such as fertilizers release and crop production. Recently, researchers have extracted cellulose from bamboo and generated a variety of cellulose-based functional hydrogels with excellent properties by various cross-linking methods. In addition, a variety of multifunctional hybrid cellulose-based hydrogels have been constructed by introducing functional components or combining them with other functional materials, thus expanding the breadth and depth of their applications. Herein, we elaborate on advances in the field of cellulose-based hydrogels and highlight their applications in food packaging and plant agriculture. Meanwhile, the existing problems and prospects are summarized. The review provides a reference for the further development of cellulose-based hydrogels.

Abstract
ddECMMA is the methacrylating product of decellularized dermal extracellular matrix with biological signals and capable of photocrosslinking. Thiolated chitosan (TCS) is an effective antibacterial component. PCLPBA is a kind of plasma-treated polycaprolactone nanofiber dispersions (PCLP) that regulates macrophage polarization and promotes angiogenesis. In this study, we obtained ddECMMA via methacrylation reaction. TCS was prepared by reaction between chitosan and thioglycolic acid. PCLPBA was fabricated via reaction between PCLP and 3-buten-1-amine. TCS and PCLPBA were mixed in ddECMMA solution and photocrosslinked to form DTP4 hydrogel. The hydrogel showed rapid gelation, good mechanical strength, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. When it was cocultured with NIH 3T3 cells, the cells showed good morphology and proliferation rate. After applying it to the full-thickness cutaneous wound, wounds almost healed in 2 weeks via re-epithelialization and neovascularization with negligible scar tissue. The results indicate that DTP4 hydrogel is a promising candidate for clinic skin wound healing.

Conductive Collagen-Based Hydrogel Combined With Electrical Stimulation to Promote Neural Stem Cell Proliferation and Differentiation. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:912497. [PMID: 35782495 PMCID: PMC9247657 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.912497] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Injectable biomimetic hydrogels are a promising strategy for enhancing tissue repair after spinal cord injury (SCI) by restoring electrical signals and increasing stem cell differentiation. However, fabricating hydrogels that simultaneously exhibit high electrical conductivities, excellent mechanical properties, and biocompatibility remains a great challenge. In the present study, a collagen-based self-assembling cross-linking polymer network (SCPN) hydrogel containing poly-pyrrole (PPy), which imparted electroconductive properties, is developed for potential application in SCI repair. The prepared collagen/polypyrrole (Col/PPy)-based hydrogel exhibited a continuous and porous structure with pore sizes ranging from 50 to 200 μm. Mechanical test results indicated that the Young’s moduli of the prepared hydrogels were remarkably enhanced with PPy content in the range 0–40 mM. The conductivity of Col/PPy40 hydrogel was 0.176 ± 0.07 S/cm, which was beneficial for mediating electrical signals between tissues and accelerating the rate of nerve repair. The investigations of swelling and degradation of the hydrogels indicated that PPy chains interpenetrated and entangled with the collagen, thereby tightening the network structure of the hydrogel and improving its stability. The cell count kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and live/dead staining assay demonstrated that Col/PPy40 coupled with electrical simulation promoted the proliferation and survival of neural stem cells (NSCs). Compared with the other groups, the immunocytochemical analysis, qPCR, and Western blot studies suggested that Col/PPy40 coupled with ES maximally induced the differentiation of NSCs into neurons and inhibited the differentiation of NSCs into astrocytes. The results also indicated that the neurons in ES-treated Col/PPy40 hydrogel have longer neurites (170.8 ± 37.2 μm) and greater numbers of branch points (4.7 ± 1.2). Therefore, the prepared hydrogel system coupled with ES has potential prospects in the field of SCI treatment.

Abstract
Collagen and chitosan are frequently used natural biomaterials in tissue engineering. However, most collagen is derived from animal tissue, with inconsistent quality and pathogen transmittance risks. In this context, we aimed to use a reliable Type-III recombinant human collagen (RHC) as an alternative biomaterial together with chitosan to develop novel photo-responsive bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting. RHC was modified with methacrylic anhydride to obtain the RHC methacryloyl (RHCMA) and mixed with acidified chitosan (CS) to form composites CS-RHCMA. The characterizations demonstrated that the mechanical properties and the degradation of the bioinks were tunable by introducing the CS. The printabilities improved by adding CS to RHCMA, and various structures were constructed via extrusion-based 3D printing successfully. Moreover, in vitro tests confirmed that these CS-RHCMA bioinks were biocompatible as human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were sustained within the constructs post-printing. The results from the current study illustrated a well-established bioinks system with the potential to construct different tissues through 3D bioprinting.

Abstract
In the last few years, the use of tissue adhesives in corneal perforation has gained immense popularity in clinical practices. The present study aimed to devise a new application of urocanic-acid-modified chitosan (CS) with methylene blue (MB) as a photosensitizer for the development of a photo-crosslinked tissue adhesive. In particular, the curing time was controlled with the aid of a 650 nm red diode. Under the same irradiation condition, the mechanical properties were tuned using the photosensitizer at different concentrations. In vitro tests revealed that the gel was ductile and biocompatible. The application of the gel to a perforated cornea model stopped the leakage of aqueous humor, immediately after the gel was photo-crosslinked. The blue appearance of the gel provided high precision when applied to corneal wounds. Importantly, the crosslinked gel became transparent within 24 h, owing to the dissipation of MB from tears, and the gel spontaneously sloughed off without artificial removal. Altogether, the study reported the development of a novel photo-crosslinkable urocanic-acid-modified CS gel that exhibited significant potential to be utilized in the healing of corneal perforation.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious chronic and degenerative disease that increasingly occurs in the aged population. Its current clinical treatments are limited to symptom relief and cannot regenerate cartilage. Although a better understanding of OA pathophysiology has been facilitating the development of novel therapeutic regimen, delivery of therapeutics to target sites with minimal invasiveness, high retention, and minimal side effects remains a challenge. Biocompatible hydrogels have been recognized to be highly promising for controlled delivery and release of therapeutics and biologics for tissue repair. In this review, the current approaches and the challenges in OA treatment, and unique properties of injectable natural polymer hydrogels as delivery system to overcome the challenges are presented. The common methods for fabrication of injectable polysaccharide-based hydrogels and the effects of their composition and properties on the OA treatment are detailed. The strategies of the use of hydrogels for loading and release cargos are also covered. Finally, recent efforts on the development of injectable polysaccharide-based hydrogels for OA treatment are highlighted, and their current limitations are discussed.

Abstract
Hemostasis and prevention of postoperative adhesions after hepatectomy are still challenges. In this work, we chose chitosan, a competitive candidate hemostatic material, as the backbone, and konjac glucomannan as the functional moieties, to form an injectable hydrogel. The hydrogel was prepared by the Schiff base reaction of dodecyl-modified N-carboxyethyl chitosan (DCEC) and oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM), which could effectively prevent bleeding and postoperative adhesions. The resultant hydrogel possessed self-healing and tissue adhesive capability, and combined the unique bioactivities of two polysaccharides: DCEC endowed the hydrogel with excellent antibacterial and hemostatic ability by the electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the cell membrane and amine/dodecyl groups, and OKGM imparted hydrogel anti-inflammatory action by activating macrophages. Moreover, the notable hemostatic efficacy of the hydrogel was confirmed in a rat hepatectomy model. The hydrogel could prevent postoperative adhesions and down-regulate the inflammatory factor TNF-α and the pro-fibrotic factor TGF-β1 in situ, which might be caused by the combination of the barrier function of hydrogel and instinct bioactivities of DCEC and OKGM. Thus, this multifunctional injectable hydrogel is potentially valuable for preventing bleeding and postoperative adhesions after hepatectomy.

Abstract
Bioadhesives have reached significant milestones over the past two decades. Research has shown not only to produce adhesives capable of adhering to dry tissue but recently wet tissue as well. However, most bioadhesives developed have exhibited high adhesion strength yet lack other properties required for versatility in application, such as elasticity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Adapting from limitations met from early bioadhesives and meeting the current demand allows novel bioadhesives to reach new milestones for the future. In this review, we overview the progression and variations of bioadhesives, current trends, characterisation techniques and conclude with future perspectives for bioadhesives for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Advances in hydrogel technology have unlocked unique and valuable capabilities that are being applied to a diverse set of translational applications. Hydrogels perform functions relevant to a range of biomedical purposes-they can deliver drugs or cells, regenerate hard and soft tissues, adhere to wet tissues, prevent bleeding, provide contrast during imaging, protect tissues or organs during radiotherapy, and improve the biocompatibility of medical implants. These capabilities make hydrogels useful for many distinct and pressing diseases and medical conditions and even for less conventional areas such as environmental engineering. In this review, we cover the major capabilities of hydrogels, with a focus on the novel benefits of injectable hydrogels, and how they relate to translational applications in medicine and the environment. We pay close attention to how the development of contemporary hydrogels requires extensive interdisciplinary collaboration to accomplish highly specific and complex biological tasks that range from cancer immunotherapy to tissue engineering to vaccination. We complement our discussion of preclinical and clinical development of hydrogels with mechanical design considerations needed for scaling injectable hydrogel technologies for clinical application. We anticipate that readers will gain a more complete picture of the expansive possibilities for hydrogels to make practical and impactful differences across numerous fields and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Bioadhesives have demonstrated their superiority in clinical applications as tissue adhesives, hemostats, and tissue sealants. Because of the intrinsic stickiness, the applications have been expanded to various areas, such as functional wound dressing, factor delivery vehicles, and even medical device fixation. While many literature works discussed the mechanism of bioadhesives, few of them specifically summarized the applications of bioadhesives. To fill in the blanks, this review covers recent research articles and focuses precisely on the applications of bioadhesives which can be generally classified as follows: 1) wound closure, 2) sealing leakage, and 3) immobilization, including those already in the clinic and those showing great potential in the clinic. It is expected that this article will provide a whole picture on bioadhesives' applications and lead to innovations in the application of bioadhesives in new fields.

Abstract
The success of repair or regeneration depends greatly on the architecture of 3D scaffolds that finely mimic natural extracellular matrix to support cell growth and assembly. Polysaccharides have excellent biocompatibility with intrinsic biological cues and they have been extensively investigated as scaffolds for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). The physical and biochemical structures of natural polysaccharides, however, can barely meet all the requirements of tissue-engineered scaffolds. To take advantage of their inherent properties, many innovative approaches including chemical, physical, or joint modifications have been employed to improve their properties. Recent advancement in molecular and material building technology facilitates the fabrication of advanced 3D structures with desirable properties. This review focuses on the latest progress of polysaccharide-based scaffolds for TERM, especially those that construct advanced architectures for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Chitosan-based hydrogels have been widely used for various biomedical applications due to their versatile properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, muco-adhesiveness, hemostatic effect and so on. However, the inherent rigidity and brittleness of pure chitosan hydrogels are still unmanageable, which has limited their potential use in biomaterial research. In this study, we developed in situ forming chitosan/PEG hydrogels with improved mechanical properties, using the enzymatic crosslinking reaction of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The effect of PEG on physico-chemical properties of hybrid hydrogels was thoroughly elucidated by varying the content (0-100 %), molecular weight (4, 10 and 20 kDa) and geometry (linear, 4-arm) of the PEG derivatives. The resulting hydrogels demonstrated excellent hemostatic ability and are highly biocompatible in vivo, comparable to commercially available fibrin glue. We suggest these chitosan/PEG hybrid hydrogels with tunable physicochemical and tissue adhesive properties have great potential for a wide range of biomedical applications in the near future.

Abstract
Recently, flexible and wearable sensors assembled from conductive hydrogels have attracted widespread attention. However, it is still a great challenge to make hydrogels with sufficient mechanical properties, self-adhesiveness and strain sensitivity. Here, a strong, tough, and self-adhesive hydrogel is successfully fabricated by a one-pot method, which introducing chitosan and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid into the polyacrylamide network. The hydrogels exhibited adhesion (the peel strength reaches 798 N/m), mechanical property (The breaking strength and strain can reach 111 kPa and 2839%) and electrical conductivity (conductivity up to 0.0848 S/cm), which are suitable for wearable epidermal sensors. Besides, the hydrogels also possessed transparency. Therefore, this work would provide a novel insight on the fabrication of multi-functional self-adhesive hydrogel sensors.

Abstract
Self-healing hydrogels attract broad attention as cell/drug carriers for direct injection into damaged tissues or as bioinks for three-dimensional (3D) printing of tissue-like constructs. For application in 3D printing, the self-healing hydrogels should maintain the steady rheological properties during printing process, and be further stabilized by secondary post-printing crosslinking. Here, a chitosan self-healing hydrogel is developed for injectable hydrogel and printable ink using phenol-functionalized chitosan and dibenzaldehyde-terminated telechelic poly(ethylene glycol). Phenol functionalization of chitosan can introduce unique interaction that allows the hydrogel to possess fast gelling rate, good self-healing ability, and long-range critical gel behavior, as well as secondary visible light-crosslinking capability. The hydrogel is easily pre-formed in a syringe and extruded through a 26-gauge needle to produce a continuous and stackable filament. The cell-laden hydrogel is successfully printed into a 3D construct. Moreover, the hydrogel is developed for modular 3D printing, where hydrogel modules (LEGO-like building blocks) are individually printed and assembled into an integrated construct followed by secondary visible light-crosslinking. The versatile phenol-functionalized chitosan self-healing hydrogel will open up numerous potential applications, particularly in 3D bioprinting and modular 3D bioprinting.

Abstract
With society's growing awareness of climate change, novel renewable and naturally sourced materials have received increasing attention as substitutes for petroleum-based products. Laminarin (LAM-OH) is a highly abundant, nontoxic, degradable polysaccharide found in marine organisms and hence is a promising sustainable polymeric candidate. This work reports on a simple, environmentally friendly, and customizable functionalization strategy for producing a toolbox of LAM-OH derivatives under mild conditions. Herein, natural-origin macromolecules exhibiting specific chemical moieties, namely, allyl, amine, carboxylic acid, thiol, aldehyde, and catechol, were prepared and chemically characterized. Furthermore, the obtained polymers were processed into cytocompatible hydrogels, obtained by employing distinct cross-linking mechanisms, to assess their potential for biomedical purposes. The application scope of such polymers could be extended to fields such as catalysis, cosmetics, life sciences, and food packaging, which can also benefit from having sustainable, nontoxic, and degradable materials. Moreover, it is anticipated that the methodology employed to create this library of new natural-based products could be adapted to modify other polysaccharides and biopolymers in general.

Abstract
Cryogels with tissue adhesion have great potential as wound dressings for rapid hemostasis for uncontrollable nonpressing surface hemorrhage and wound healing, but their use has not been reported previously. Herein, we designed a series of antibacterial and antioxidant tissue-adhesive cryogels based on quaternized chitosan (QCS) and polydopamine (PDA). These cryogels had good blood cell and platelet adhesion, enrichment, and activation properties for rapid nonpressing surface hemostasis and wound healing. The cryogels exhibited outstanding mechanical strength and easy removability, antioxidant activity, and NIR photothermal-enhanced antibacterial performance. The cryogels showed much better hemostasis than gauze and gelatin sponge in a standardized strip rat liver injury model, a standardized circular rabbit liver section model, and a pig skin laceration model. Furthermore, the excellent hemostatic performance of the QCS/PDA2.0 cryogel (containing 20 mg/mL QCS and 2.0 mg/mL PDA) for coagulopathic hemorrhages was confirmed in a standardized coagulation disorder rabbit circular liver section model. In addition, the QCS/PDA2.0 cryogel promoted rapid hemostasis in a deep noncompressible wound and a much better wound healing effect than a chitosan sponge and Tegaderm film in a full-thickness skin defect model. Overall, these multifunctional tissue-adhesive cryogels with excellent hemostatic performance and enhanced wound healing properties are suitable candidates for tissue-adhesive hemostat and wound healing dressings.

Abstract
Most gelatin hydrogels used in regenerative medicine applications today are fabricated by photocrosslinking due to the convenience and speed of this method. However, in most cases photoinitiators are used, which require UV light, which, in turn, can cause cell and tissue damage, or using functionalized gelatin. Recently, ruthenium (II) tris-bipyridyl chloride has been studied as an initiator that can induce dityrosine bond formation using visible light. In addition, continuous fibrils and small particles are often used to reinforce composite materials. Therefore, this study investigated the visible-light-induced photocrosslinking of native gelatin molecules via dityrosine bonds formation as well as gel reinforcement by collagen fibrils and mesoporous bioactive glass (MBG) particles. The results show that collagen and MBG exerted a synergistic effect on maintaining gel integrity with a dental LED curing light when the irradiation time was shortened to 30 s. Without the two reinforcing components, the gel could not form a geometric shape stable gel even when the exposure time was 120 s. The shear strength increased by 62% with the collagen and MBG compared with the blank control. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that the addition of collagen and MBG enhanced gel stability in an artificial saliva solution. These results demonstrate the considerable advantages of using tyrosine-containing biomolecules, and using a dental LED curing light for the crosslinking of hydrogels in terms of their suitability and feasibility for use as bioadhesives in confined clinical working space, such as the oral cavity, and in application as in situ-crosslinked injectable hydrogels.

Abstract
To stop blood loss and accelerate wound healing, conventional wound closure techniques such as sutures and staples are currently used in the clinic. These tissue-piercing wound closure techniques have several disadvantages such as the potential for causing inflammation, infections, and scar formation. Surgical sealants and tissue adhesives can address some of the disadvantages of current sutures and staples. An ideal tissue adhesive will demonstrate strong interfacial adhesion and cohesive strength to wet tissue surfaces. Most reported studies rely on the liquid-to-solid transition of organic molecules by taking advantage of polymerization and crosslinking reactions for improving the cohesive strength of the adhesives. Crosslinking reactions triggered using light are commonly used for increasing tissue adhesive strength since the reactions can be controlled spatially and temporally, providing the on-demand curing of the adhesives with minimum misplacements. In this review, we describe the recent advances in the field of naturally derived tissue adhesives and sealants in which the adhesive and cohesive strengths are modulated using photochemical reactions.

Abstract
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is the most severe ischemic heart disease and di-rectly leads to heart failure till death. Target molecules have been identified in the event of MI including increasing angiogenesis, promoting cardiomyocyte survival, improving heart function and restraining inflammation and myocyte activation and subsequent fibrosis. All of which are substantial in cardiomy-ocyte protection and preservation of cardiac function. Methodology: To modulate target molecule expression, virus and non-virus-mediated gene transfer have been investigated. Despite successful in animal models of MI, virus-mediated gene transfer is hampered by poor targeting efficiency, low packaging capacity for large DNA sequences, immunogenicity induced by virus and random integration into the human genome. Discussion: Nanoparticles could be synthesized and equipped on purpose for large-scale production. They are relatively small in size and do not incorporate into the genome. They could carry DNA and drug within the same transfer. All of these properties make them an alternative strategy for gene transfer. In the review, we first introduce the pathological progression of MI. After concise discussion on the current status of virus-mediated gene therapy in treating MI, we overview the history and development of nanoparticle-based gene delivery system. We point out the limitations and future perspective in the field of nanoparticle vehicle. Conclusion: Ultimately, we hope that this review could help to better understand how far we are with nanoparticle-facilitated gene transfer strategy and what obstacles we need to solve for utilization of na-nomedicine in the treatment of MI.

Abstract
For circumventing the cumbersome and expensive multifunctional and multipolymer adsorbents for high-performance removals of hazardous water-contaminant(s), chitosan-g-[2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanoic acid (AMPS)-co-2-(3-acrylamidopropanamido)-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid (APAMPS)-co-2-(N-(3-amino-3-oxopropyl)acrylamido)-2-methylpropane-1-sulfonic acid (NAOPAMPS)-co-acrylamide (AM)] (i.e., chitosan-g-tetrapolymer), a multifunctional scalable and reusable hydrogel, was synthesized by grafting of chitosan and in situ attachments of N-H functionalized NAOPAMPS and APAMPS hydrophilic acrylamido-monomers during free-radical solution-polymerization of the two ex situ added AMPS and AM monomers in water. The response surface methodology was employed to synthesize one hydrogel envisaging the optimum balance between swelling and stability for the superadsorption of Cu(II), Cd(II), Pb(II), Cr2O72-, and HPO42-. The in situ attachments of NAOPAMPS and APAMPS, grafting of chitosan into tetrapolymer, structures and properties, pH-responsive abilities, superadsorption mechanism, and reusability were understood via in depth microstructural analyses of adsorbed and/or unadsorbed chitosan-g-tetrapolymer(s) through 1H/13C NMR, FTIR, XPS, TGA, XRD, DLS, and pHPZC. The maximum adsorption capacities of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Cr2O72-, and HPO42- were 1374.41, 1521.08, 1554.08, 47.76, and 32.76 mg g-1, respectively.

Abstract
Glycol chitosan (GC), a water-soluble chitosan derivative with hydrophilic ethylene glycol branches, has both hydrophobic segments for the encapsulation of various drugs and reactive functional groups for facile chemical modifications. Over the past two decades, a variety of molecules have been physically encapsulated within or chemically conjugated with GC and its derivatives to construct a wide range of functional biomaterials. This review summarizes the recent advances of GC-based materials in cell surface labeling, multimodal tumor imaging, and encapsulation and delivery of drugs (including chemotherapeutics, photosensitizers, nucleic acids, and antimicrobial agents) for combating cancers and microbial infections. Besides, different strategies for GC modifications are also highlighted with the aim to shed light on how to endow GC and its derivatives with desirable properties for therapeutic purposes. In addition, we discuss both the promises and challenges of the GC-derived biomaterials.

Abstract
In modern-day medicine, nanotechnology and nanoparticles are some of the indispensable tools in disease monitoring and therapy. The term “nanomaterials” describes materials with nanoscale dimensions (< 100 nm) and are broadly classified into natural and synthetic nanomaterials. However, “engineered” nanomaterials have received significant attention due to their versatility. Although enormous strides have been made in research and development in the field of nanotechnology, it is often confusing for beginners to make an informed choice regarding the nanocarrier system and its potential applications. Hence, in this review, we have endeavored to briefly explain the most commonly used nanomaterials, their core properties and how surface functionalization would facilitate competent delivery of drugs or therapeutic molecules. Similarly, the suitability of carbon-based nanomaterials like CNT and QD has been discussed for targeted drug delivery and siRNA therapy. One of the biggest challenges in the formulation of drug delivery systems is fulfilling targeted/specific drug delivery, controlling drug release and preventing opsonization. Thus, a different mechanism of drug targeting, the role of suitable drug-laden nanocarrier fabrication and methods to augment drug solubility and bioavailability are discussed. Additionally, different routes of nanocarrier administration are discussed to provide greater understanding of the biological and other barriers and their impact on drug transport. The overall aim of this article is to facilitate straightforward perception of nanocarrier design, routes of various nanoparticle administration and the challenges associated with each drug delivery method.
