Abstract
Complex and stubborn bacterial biofilm infections significantly hinder diabetic wound healing and threaten public health. Therefore, a dressing material that effectively clears biofilms and promotes wound healing is urgently required. Herein, we introduce a novel strategy for simultaneously dispersing extracellular polymeric substances and eradicating drug-resistant bacteria. We prepared an ultrabroad-spectrum and injectable quaternized chitosan (QCS) hydrogel loaded with trypsin, which degrades biofilm extracellular proteins. Increased temperature initiated QCS gelation to form the hydrogel, enabling the sustained release of trypsin and effective adherence of the hydrogel to irregularly shaped wounds. To reproduce clinical scenarios, biofilms formed by a mixture of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Methicillin-resistant S. aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were administered to the wounds of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Under these severe infection conditions, the hydrogel efficiently suppressed inflammation, promoted angiogenesis, and enhanced collagen deposition, resulting in accelerated healing of diabetic wounds. Notably, the hydrogel demonstrates excellent biocompatibility without cytotoxicity. In summary, we present a trypsin-loaded QCS hydrogel with tremendous clinical applications potential for the treatment of chronic infected wounds.

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.

[PMID: 38931416 PMCID: PMC11206616 DOI: 10.3390/ph17060749] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The treatment adherence of narcotics-addicted individuals with reduced incidences of relapse can be enhanced by a sustained drug release formulation of antinarcotics. So far, different drug formulations have been reported with sustained drug release periods of 28 and 35 days. To further enhance this duration, different formulations of injectable hydrogels (IHs) have been developed by combining low molecular weight (LMW) and high molecular weight (HMW) chitosan (CS) with guar gum (GG) and crosslinking them by sodium bi phosphate dibasic. The structural, morphological, and physicochemical properties of LMW-CS IH, and HMW-CS IH were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and rheological, swelling, and biodegradation analysis. The HMW-CS IH showed high crosslinking, increased thermal stability, high mechanical strength, elevated swelling, and low biodegradation. The antinarcotic drugs naltrexone (NTX) and disulfiram (DSF) were loaded separately into the HMW-CS IH and LMW-CS IH. The release of NTX and DSF was investigated in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and ethanol (0.3%, 0.4%, and 0.5%) over a 56-day period using an UV spectrophotometer. The drug release data were tested in zero-order, first-order, and Korsemeyer-Peppas mathematical models. In PBS, all prepared formulations followed non-Fickian drug release, while in ethanol, only NTX HMW-CS IH followed non-Fickian release in all three different concentrations of ethanol.

Abstract
Articular cartilage is an avascular and almost acellular tissue with limited self-regenerating capabilities. Although injectable hydrogels have garnered a lot of attention as a promising treatment, a biocompatible hydrogel with adequate mechanical properties is yet to be created. In this study, an interpenetrating network hydrogel comprised of chitosan and silk fibroin was created through electrostatic and hydrophobic bonds, respectively. The polymeric network of the scaffold combined an effective microenvironment for cell activity with enhanced mechanical properties to address the current issues in cartilage scaffolds. Furthermore, microspheres (MS) were utilized for a controlled release of methylprednisolone acetate (MPA), around ~75 % after 35 days. The proposed scaffolds demonstrated great mechanical stability with ~0.047 MPa compressive moduli and ~145 kPa compressive strength. Moreover, the degradation rate of the samples (~45 % after 35 days) was optimized to match neo-cartilage formation. Furthermore, the use of natural biomaterials yielded good biocompatibility with ~76 % chondrocyte viability after 7 days. According to gross observation after 12 weeks the defect site of the treated groups was filled with minimally discernible boundary. These results were confirmed by histopathology assays were the treated groups showed higher chondrocyte count and collagen type II expression.

Abstract
Deregulated inflammations induced by various factors are one of the most common diseases in people's daily life, while severe inflammation can even lead to death. Thus, the efficient treatment of inflammation has always been the hot topic in the research of medicine. In the past decades, as a potential biomaterial, stimuli-responsive hydrogels have been a focus of attention for the inflammation treatment due to their excellent biocompatibility and design flexibility. Recently, thanks to the rapid development of nanotechnology and material science, more and more efforts have been made to develop safer, more personal and more effective hydrogels for the therapy of some frequent but tough inflammations such as sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, periodontitis, and ulcerative colitis. Herein, from recent studies and articles, the conventional and emerging hydrogels in the delivery of anti-inflammatory drugs and the therapy for various inflammations are summarized. And their prospects of clinical translation and future development are also discussed in further detail.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treated dentin matrix hydrogel (TDMH) has been introduced as a novel injectable direct pulp capping material. In this regard, this study aimed to evaluate its marginal adaptation, physicochemical and rheological properties for the development of clinically feasible TDMH. METHODS TDMH was applied to the pulp floor of prepared Class I cavities (n = 5), marginal adaptation was assessed by SEM at 1000 X magnification to detect gap between dentin and filling material. Five syringes were filled with TDMH and placed between the compression plates of a universal testing machine to evaluate injectability and gelation time was also evaluated by test vial inverting method. The microstructures of lyophilized TDMH were observed by SEM. Moreover, TDMH discs (n = 5) were prepared and the water uptake (%) was determined based on the equilibrium swelling theory state of hydrogels. Its solubility was measured after one week by the ISO standard method. Rheological behaviours of TDMH (n = 5) were analysed with a rotational rheometer by computing their complex shear modulus G* and their associated storage modulus (G') and loss modulus (G''). Statistical analysis was performed using F test (ANOVA) with repeated measures and Post Hoc Test (p = 0.05). RESULTS TDMH presented an overall 92.20 ± 2.95% of continuous margins. It exhibited gelation during the first minute, and injectability mean was 66 ± 0.36%. TDMH showed a highly porous structure, and the pores were interconnected with an average diameter about 5.09 ± 3.17 μm. Swelling equilibrium gradually reached at 6 days up to 377%. The prepared hydrogels and maintained their shape after absorbing over three times their original weight of water. TDMH fulfilled the requirements of ISO 6876, demonstrating a weight loss of 1.98 ± 0.09% and linear viscoelastic behaviour with G` 479.2 ± 12.7 and G`` 230.8 ± 13.8. CONCLUSIONS TDMH provided good marginal adaptation, appropriate physicochemical and viscoelastic properties support its use as a novel direct pulp capping material in future clinical applications.

Abstract
In this study, pH-sensitive in situ gelling hydrogels based on oxidized alginate and gelatin-containing doxorubicin (DOX) loaded chitosan/gold nanoparticles (CS/AuNPs) nanogels were fabricated via Schiff-base bond formation. The obtained CS/AuNPs nanogels indicated a size distribution of about 209 nm with a zeta potential of +19.2 mV and an encapsulation efficiency of around 72.6 % for DOX. The study of the rheological properties of hydrogels showed that the value of G' is higher than G″ for all hydrogels, which confirms the elastic behavior of hydrogels in the applied frequency range. The rheological and texture analysis demonstrated the higher mechanical properties of hydrogels containing β-GP and CS/AuNPs nanogels. The release profile of DOX after 48 h indicates the 99 % and 73 % release amount at pH = 5.8 and pH = 7.4, respectively. MTT cytotoxicity study showed that the prepared hydrogels are cytocompatible on MCF-7 cells. By the Live/Dead assay, it was demonstrated that the cultured cells on DOX-free hydrogels were almost alive in the presence of CS/AuNPs nanogels. However, the hydrogel-containing drug and free DOX in the same concentration caused high death of MCF-7 cells as expected, which showed the potential of the developed hydrogels for application in the local treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
Attempts are being made to develop an ideal wound dressing with excellent biomechanical and biological properties. Here, a thermos-responsive hydrogel is fabricated using chitosan (CTS) with various concentrations (1%, 2.5%, and 5% w/v) of solubilized placental extracellular matrix (ECM) and 20% β-glycerophosphate to optimize a smart wound dressing hydrogel with improved biological behavior. The thermo-responsive CTS (TCTS) alone or loaded with ECMs (ECM-TCTS) demonstrate uniform morphology using SEM. TCTS and ECM1%-TCTS and ECM2.5%-TCTS show a gelation time of 5 min at 37 °C, while no gel formation is observed at 4 and 25 °C. ECM5%-TCTS forms gel at both 25 and 37 °C. The degradation and swelling ratios increase as the ECM content of the hydrogel increase. All the constructs show excellent biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo, however, the hydrogels with a higher concentration of ECM demonstrate better cell adhesion for fibroblast cells and induce expression of angiogenic factors (VEGF and VEGFR) from HUVEC. Only the ECM5%-TCTS has antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC 19606. The data obtained from the current study suggest the ECM2.5%-TCTS as an optimized smart biomimetic wound dressing with improved angiogenic properties now promises to proceed with pre-clinical and clinical investigations.

[PMID: 36005089 PMCID: PMC9407145 DOI: 10.3390/gels8080488] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
The intra-articular administration of drugs has attracted great interest in recent decades for the treatment of osteoarthritis. The use of modified drugs has also attracted interest in recent years because their intra-articular administration has demonstrated encouraging results. The objective of this work was to prepare injectable-thermosensitive hydrogels for the intra-articular administration of Etanercept (ETA), an inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor-α. Hydrogels were prepared from the physical mixture of chitosan and Pluronic F127 with β-glycerolphosphate (BGP). Adding β-glycerolphosphate to the system reduced the gelation time and also modified the morphology of the resulting material. In vitro studies were carried out to determine the cytocompatibility of the prepared hydrogels for the human chondrocyte line C28/I2. The in vitro release study showed that the incorporation of BGP into the system markedly modified the release of ETA. In the in vivo studies, it was verified that the hydrogels remained inside the implantation site in the joint until the end of the study. Furthermore, ETA was highly concentrated in the blood of the study mice 48 h after the loaded material was injected. Histological investigation of osteoarthritic knees showed that the material promotes cartilage recovery in osteoarthritic mice. The results demonstrate the potential of ETA-loaded injectable hydrogels for the localized treatment of joints.

Abstract
In situ-forming, biodegradable, and self-healing hydrogels, which maintain their integrity after damage, owing to dynamic interactions, are essential biomaterials for bioapplications, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. This work aims to develop in situ, biodegradable and self-healable hydrogels based on dynamic covalent bonds between N-succinyl chitosan (S-CHI) and oxidized aldehyde hyaluronic acid (A-HA). A robust effect of the molar ratio of both S-CHI and A-HA was observed on the swelling, mechanical stability, rheological properties and biodegradation kinetics of these hydrogels, being the stoichiometric ratio that which leads to the lowest swelling factor (×12), highest compression modulus (1.1·10−3 MPa), and slowest degradation (9 days). Besides, a rapid (3 s) self-repairing ability was demonstrated in the macro scale as well as by rheology and mechanical tests. Finally, the potential of these biomaterials was evidenced by cytotoxicity essay (>85%).

Abstract
Hydrogels obtained from natural polymers have received widespread attention for their excellent biocompatible property, nontoxicity, easy gelation, and functionalization. Polysaccharides can regulate the gut microbiota and improve the intestinal microenvironment, thus exerting the healthy effect of intestinal immunity. In an active substance delivery system, the extent and speed of the substance reaching its target are highly dependent on the carrier. Thus, the smart active substance delivery systems are gradually increasing. The smart polysaccharide-hydrogels possess the ability in response to external stimuli through changing their volume phase and structure, which are applied in various fields. Natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels possess excellent characteristics of environmental friendliness, good biocompatibility, and abundant sources. According to the response type, natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels are usually divided into stimulus-responsive hydrogels, including internal response (pH, temperature, enzyme, redox) and external response (light, electricity, magnetism) hydrogels. The delivery system based on polysaccharides can exert their effects in the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, polysaccharides may also take part in regulating the brain signals through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Therefore, natural polysaccharide-hydrogels are considered as promising biomaterials, which can be designed as delivery systems for regulating the gut-brain axis. This article reviews the research advance of stimulus-responsive hydrogels, which focus on the types, response characteristics, and applications for polysaccharide-based smart hydrogels as delivery systems.

Abstract
Paracetamol is a safe and widely used antipyretic and analgesic drug, however, with the drawbacks of gastrointestinal first-pass effect and short intervals of administration. Transdermal drug delivery system can effectively avoid the liver metabolism caused by excess oral ingestion of Paracetamol. Herein, we propose a silk fabric-based medical dressing decorated by a thermo-responsive hydrogel for sustained release of paracetamol. Genipin as a bio-safe cross-linker was applied to assist gelation of a thermo-responsive hydrogel system coupled of chitosan and glycerol-phosphate disodium salt (GP) around body temperature (37 °C), as well as densify the microporous gel to improve mechanical strength. The in-situ sol-gel transition enabled hydrogel well penetrate and coat the silk fabric, forming a hierarchical hydrogel structure capable of prolonging sustained release of drug to 12 h, twice as long as a blank fabric. The silk fabric with a thin gel coating maintains good water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), compatible for skin contact application. The drug release properties can be tuned by regulating the genipin content and fabric braiding structure. The silk fabric dressing exhibits temperature-dependent instant release behavior within the first two hours. The sustained release mechanism of paracetamol well matches with the Korsmeyer-Peppas model in a non-Fickian diffusion. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Chitosan/glycerophosphate thermosensitive hydrogel crosslinked physically was a potential drug delivery carrier; however, long gelation time limits its application. Here, chitosan-amino acid (AA) thermosensitive hydrogels were prepared from chitosan (CS), αβ-glycerophosphate (GP), and l-lysine (Lys) or l-glutamic acid (Glu). The prepared CS-Lys/GP and CS-Glu/GP hydrogel showed good thermosensitivity and could form gels in a short time. The optimal parameters of CS-Lys/GP hydrogel were that the concentration of CS-Lys was 2.5%, the ratio of CS/Lys was 3.5/1.0, the ratio of CS-Lys/GP was 4.5/1.0. The optimal parameters of CS-Glu/GP hydrogel were that the concentration of CS-Glu was 3.0%, the ratio of CS/Glu was 2.0/1.0, and the ratio of CS-Glu/GP was 4.0/1.5. Chitosan-amino acid (CS-AA) thermosensitive hydrogel had a three-dimensional network structure. The addition of model drug tinidazole (TNZ) had no obvious effect on the structure of hydrogel. The results of infrared spectroscopy showed that there were hydrogen bonds between amino acids and chitosan. In vitro release results showed that CS-Lys/GP and CS-Glu/GP thermosensitive hydrogels had sustained release effects. Thus, the chitosan-amino acid thermosensitive hydrogels hold great potential as a sustained release drug delivery system.

Abstract
Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been demonstrated over the last decades to play an important role as inert materials in the field of orthopedic and dental implants. Nevertheless, with the widespread use of Ti, implant-associated rejection issues have arisen. To overcome these problems, antibacterial properties, fast and adequate osseointegration and long-term stability are essential features. Indeed, surface modification is currently presented as a versatile strategy for developing Ti coatings with all these challenging requirements and achieve a successful performance of the implant. Numerous approaches have been investigated to obtain stable and well-organized Ti coatings that promote the tailoring of surface chemical functionalization regardless of the geometry and shape of the implant. However, among all the approaches available in the literature to functionalize the Ti surface, a promising strategy is the combination of surface pre-activation treatments typically followed by the development of intermediate anchoring layers (self-assembled monolayers, SAMs) that serve as the supporting linkage of a final active layer. Therefore, this paper aims to review the latest approaches in the biomedical area to obtain bioactive coatings onto Ti surfaces with a special focus on (i) the most employed methods for Ti surface hydroxylation, (ii) SAMs-mediated active coatings development, and (iii) the latest advances in active agent immobilization and polymeric coatings for controlled release on Ti surfaces.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the protective effect of genipin on retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells under hypoxia and hyperglycemia. RPE cells were cultured under hyperglycemia and hypoxia mimicking agent DFX. The cells were then exposed to genipin (10–50 μM), genipin + phospha-tidylinositol
(3,4,5) trisphosphates (PIP3) as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, and genipin+ PI3K agonist, followed by CCK-8 assay to detect the cell viability. Western blot determined PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT) pathway, and apoptosis- and anti-apoptosis-related proteins levels. MitoSOXTM Red
kit was conducted to analyze reactive oxygen species (ROS) content. Finally, confocal immunofluorescence staining assessed nuclear translocation of Nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2 (Nrf2). Hyperglycemia and hypoxia treatment induced injury in RPE cells, with nuclear translocation
of Nrf2 and ROS production. Importantly, administration of genipin alleviated the injury, up-regulated Bcl-2 expression, inhibited caspase-3 activity and nuclear translocation of Nrf2, and down-regulated the level of Bax and ROS. In addition, genipin pretreatment obviously increased PI3K and
Akt phosphorylation and promoted cell proliferation and viability. On the contrary, PI3K inhibitor inactivated PI3K/AKT and decreased cell viability while PI3K agonist showed the opposite effect. Genipin prevented oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by hyperglycemia and hypoxia through
PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Abstract
Articular cartilage (AC) injury repair has always been a difficult problem for clinicians and researchers. Recently, a promising therapy based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been developed for the regeneration of cartilage defects. As endogenous articular stem cells, synovial MSCs (SMSCs) possess strong chondrogenic differentiation ability and articular specificity. In this study, a cartilage regenerative system was developed based on a chitosan (CS) hydrogel/3D-printed poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) hybrid containing SMSCs and recruiting tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (TFNA) injected into the articular cavity. TFNA, which is a promising DNA nanomaterial for improving the regenerative microenvironment, could be taken up into SMSCs and promoted the proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of SMSCs. CS, as a cationic polysaccharide, can bind to DNA through electrostatic action and recruit free TFNA after articular cavity injection in vivo. The 3D-printed PCL scaffold provided basic mechanical support, and TFNA provided a good microenvironment for the proliferation and chondrogenic differentiation of the delivered SMSCs and promoted cartilage regeneration, thus greatly improving the repair of cartilage defects. In conclusion, this study confirmed that a CS hydrogel/3D-printed PCL hybrid scaffold containing SMSCs could be a promising strategy for cartilage regeneration based on chitosan-directed TFNA recruitment and TFNA-enhanced cell proliferation and chondrogenesis.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) solutions were crosslinked with divinyl sulfone (DVS) and subsequently loaded with antibiotic molecules to obtain biocompatible and antibacterial injectable hydrogels. The crosslinking degree of the hydrogels was modulated by varying the reaction time and the HA:DVS weight ratio. Synthesized HA-DVS hydrogels were characterized by their rheological properties, pore size, swelling capacity and hydrolytic and thermal degradation. Biocompatibility was assessed by measuring pH, osmolality and by in vitro cytotoxic assay. Acetyl salicylic (AAS) loaded hydrogels display anti-inflammatory properties in vitro, whereas cefuroxime (CFX), tetracycline (TCN) and amoxicillin (AMX) loaded hydrogels show in vitro antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus. The combine use of antibiotics and AAS produces a synergic effect that reduces the S. aureus population up to a log10 reduction (R) of 5.55. Overall results show that antibiotic/AAS loaded HA-DVS hydrogels could be effectively used to combat S. aureus infections and to increase the antibacterial activity of antibiotics commonly used against S. aureus.

Abstract
Chitosan is one of the most abundant natural polymer worldwide, and due to its inherent characteristics, its use in industrial processes has been extensively explored. Because it is biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic, hydrophilic, cheap, and has good physical-chemical stability, it is seen as an excellent alternative for the replacement of synthetic materials in the search for more sustainable production methodologies. Thus being, a possible biotechnological application of Chitosan is as a direct support for enzyme immobilization. However, its applicability is quite specific, and to overcome this issue, alternative pretreatments are required, such as chemical and physical modifications to its structure, enabling its use in a wider array of applications. This review aims to present the topic in detail, by exploring and discussing methods of employment of Chitosan in enzymatic immobilization processes with various enzymes, presenting its advantages and disadvantages, as well as listing possible chemical modifications and combinations with other compounds for formulating an ideal support for this purpose. First, we will present Chitosan emphasizing its characteristics that allow its use as enzyme support. Furthermore, we will discuss possible physicochemical modifications that can be made to Chitosan, mentioning the improvements obtained in each process. These discussions will enable a comprehensive comparison between, and an informed choice of, the best technologies concerning enzyme immobilization and the application conditions of the biocatalyst.

Abstract
The transfer of some innovative technologies from the laboratory to industrial scale is many times not taken into account in the design and development of some functional materials such as hydrogels to be applied in the biomedical field. There is a lack of knowledge in the scientific field where many aspects of scaling to an industrial process are ignored, and products cannot reach the market. Injectable hydrogels are a good example that we have used in our research to show the different steps needed to follow to get a product in the market based on them. From synthesis and process validation to characterization techniques used and assays performed to ensure the safety and efficacy of the product, following regulation, several well-defined protocols must be adopted. Therefore, this paper summarized all these aspects due to the lack of knowledge that exists about the industrialization of injectable products with the great importance that it entails, and it is intended to serve as a guide on this area to non-initiated scientists. More concretely, in this work, the characteristics and requirements for the development of injectable hydrogels from the laboratory to industrial scale is presented in terms of (i) synthesis techniques employed to obtain injectable hydrogels with tunable desired properties, (ii) the most common characterization techniques to characterize hydrogels, and (iii) the necessary safety and efficacy assays and protocols to industrialize and commercialize injectable hydrogels from the regulatory point of view. Finally, this review also mentioned and explained a real example of the development of a natural hyaluronic acid hydrogel that reached the market as an injectable product.

Abstract
Thermosensitive chitosan/β-glycerophosphate (CS/BGP) systems have been developed as injectable hydrogels. However, the hydrogels exhibited poor mechanical properties due to their physically crosslinked networks. In this work, CS/BGP hydrogels were reinforced by covalent crosslinking using genipin (GE) and concomitantly semi-interpenetrating networks using pullulan (PL). Based on response surface methodology, the optimized formulation was composed of CS (1.05%, w/v), PL (1%, w/v), BGP (6%, w/v), and GE (70.79 mcg/mL). The optimized hydrogels exhibited Young's modulus of 92.65 ± 4.13 kPa and a percentage of equilibrium swelling ratio of 3259.09% ± 58.90%. Scanning electron micrographs revealed a highly porous structure with nanofibrous networks in the CS/PL/BGP/GE hydrogels. The chemical interactions between the compositions were investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Rheological measurements illustrated that the optimized hydrogels displayed sol-gel transition within one minute at 37 °C, a lower critical solution temperature of about 31 °C, and viscoelastic behavior with high storage modulus. Furthermore, the optimized hydrogels demonstrated higher resistance to in vitro enzymatic degradation, compared to the hydrogels without GE. Our findings could suggest that the thermosensitive CS/PL/BGP/GE hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties and swelling capacity demonstrate the potential for use as scaffolds and carriers for cartilage tissue engineering and drug delivery applications.
