Abstract
In this study, a novel hydrogel, β-cyclodextrin/carbon dots-grafted cellulose nanofibrils hydrogel (βCCH), was fabricated for removal and fluorescence determination of levofloxacin (LEV). A comprehensive analysis was performed to characterize its physicochemical properties. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted, revealing that βCCH reached a maximum adsorption capacity of 1376.9 mg/g, consistent with both Langmuir and pseudo-second-order models, suggesting that the adsorption process of LEV on βCCH was primarily driven by chemical adsorption. The removal efficiency of βCCH was 99.2 % under the fixed conditions (pH: 6, initial concentration: 20 mg/L, contact time: 300 min, temperature: 25 °C). The removal efficiency of βCCH for LEV still achieved 97.3 % after five adsorption-desorption cycles. By using βCCH as a fluorescent probe for LEV, a fast and sensitive method was established with linear ranges of 1-120 mg/L and 0.2-1.0 μg/L and a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.09 μg/L. The viability of βCCH was estimated based on the economic analysis of the synthesis process and the removal of LEV, demonstrating that βCCH was more cost-effective than commercial activated carbon. This study provides a novel approach for preparing a promising antibiotic detection and adsorption material with the advantages of stability, and cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
The fabrication of stimulus-responsive supramolecular hydrogels as smart materials has attracted much attention in recent years. However, the multi-stimuli responsiveness often requires complicated chemical synthesis and rational molecular design. Herein, a quadruple-stimuli responsive supramolecular hydrogel was designed through the host-guest interaction between a β-CD dimer and a methoxy-azobenzene (mAzo) and ferrocene (Fc) grafted poly(acrylic acid) derivative, as well as through the electrostatic interaction of negatively charged carboxyl side groups. Owing to the dynamic properties of the host-guest and electrostatic interactions, reversible sol-gel transition can be triggered by various stimuli, including temperature, light irradiations, pH changes and chemical redox reagents. As a result, the release of rhodamine B loaded in the hydrogel can be accelerated by green light irradiation, oxidizing agents and low pH, demonstrating potential applications in biomedical materials.

Abstract
Geraniol (Ger) is an essential oil molecule with excellent biological activity. High hydrophobicity and volatility limit its practical application. Cyclodextrins (CDs) are water-soluble cyclic oligosaccharides with hydrophobic cavities. Physical encapsulation of CDs to improve the solubility and stability of essential oil molecules is not satisfactory. Therefore, this study synthesized the γ-CD derivative (γ-CD-Ger) by grafting Ger onto γ-CD using a bromide-mediated method. Compared to the inclusion complexes (γ-CD/Ger) formed by both, the derivatives exhibit better solubility and thermal stability. The derivative has better antibacterial activity when the ratio of γ-CD to Ger was 1:2. In addition, the derivatives did not exhibit cytotoxic and hemolytic properties. These results indicate that this research provides a water-soluble antibacterial agent with a wide range of promising applications and offers new ideas for the application of alcohol hydrophobic molecules in aqueous systems.

Abstract
Silicon is expected to be used as a high theoretical capacity anode material in lithium-ion batteries with high energy densities. However, the huge volume change incurred when silicon de-embeds lithium ions, leading to destruction of the electrode structure and a rapid reduction in battery capacity. Although binders play a key role in maintaining the stability of the electrode structure, commonly used binders cannot withstand the large volume expansion of the silicon. To alleviate this problem, we propose a PGC cross-linking reconfiguration binder based on poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), gelatin (GN), and β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Within PGC, PAA supports the main chain and provides a large number of carboxyl groups (-COOH), GN provides rich carboxyl and amide groups that can form a cross-linking network with PAA, and β-CD offers rich hydroxyl groups and a cone-shaped hollow ring structure that can alleviate stress accumulation in the polymer chain by forming a new dynamic cross-linking coordination conformation during stretching. In the half cell, the silicon negative prepared by the PGC binder exhibited a high specific capacity and capacity maintenance ratio, and the specific capacity of the silicon negative electrode prepared by the PGC binder is still 1809 mAh g-1 and the capacity maintenance ratio is 73.76% following 200 cycles at 2 A g-1 current density, indicating that PGC sufficiently maintains the silicon negative structure during the battery cycle. The PGC binder has a simple preparation method and good capacity retention ability, making it a potential reference for the further development of silicon negative electrodes.

Abstract
Hydrogels are extensively utilized in the fields of electronic skin, environmental monitoring, biological dressings due to their excellent flexibility and conductivity. However, traditional hydrogel materials possess drawbacks such as environmental toxicity, low strength, poor stability, and water loss deactivation, which limited its frequent applications. Here, a flexible conductive hydrogel called wood-based DES hydrogel (WDH) with high strength, high adhesion, high stability, and high sensitivity was successfully synthesized by using environmentally friendly lignocellulose as skeleton and deep eutectic solvent as matrix. The strength of WDH prepared from lignocellulose framework is approximately 50 times higher than poly deep eutectic solvent hydrogel, and about 4.5 times higher than that prepared from cellulose skeleton. The WDH exhibits stable adhesion to most common materials and demonstrates exceptional dimensional stability. Its conductivity remains unaffected by water, even after prolonged exposure to air, maintaining a value of 0.0245 S/m. The anisotropy inherent in the system results in three distinct linear sensing intervals for WDH, exhibiting a maximum sensitivity of 5.45. This paper verified the advantages of lignocellulose framework in improving the strength and stability of hydrogels, which provided a new strategy for the development of sensor materials.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of polymer chains containing large amounts of water in their structure. Hydrogels have received significant attention in biomedical applications owing to their attractive physicochemical properties, including flexibility, softness, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Different natural and synthetic polymers have been intensely explored in developing hydrogels for the desired applications. Biopolymers-based hydrogels have advantages over synthetic polymers regarding improved cellular activity and weak immune response. These properties can be further improved by grafting with other polymers or adding nanomaterials, and they structurally mimic the living tissue environments, which opens their broad applicability. The hydrogels can be physically or chemically cross-linked depending on the structure. The use of different biopolymers-based hydrogels in biomedical applications has been reviewed and discussed earlier. However, no report is still available to comprehensively introduce the synthesis, advantages, disadvantages, and biomedical applications of biopolymers-based hydrogels from the material point of view. Herein, we systematically overview different synthesis methods of hydrogels and provide a holistic approach to biopolymers-based hydrogels for biomedical applications, especially in bone regeneration, wound healing, drug delivery, bioimaging, and therapy. The current challenges and prospects of biopolymers-based hydrogels are highlighted rationally, giving an insight into the progress of these hydrogels and their practical applications.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD)-based supramolecular hydrogels are polymer network systems with the ability to rapidly form reversible three-dimensional porous structures through multiple cross-linking methods, offering potential applications in drug delivery. Although CD-based supramolecular hydrogels have been increasingly used in a wide range of applications in recent years, a comprehensive description of their structure, mechanical property modulation, drug loading, delivery, and applications in biomedical fields from a cross-linking perspective is lacking. To provide a comprehensive overview of CD-based supramolecular hydrogels, this review systematically describes their design, regulation of mechanical properties, modes of drug loading and release, and their roles in various biomedical fields, particularly oncology, wound dressing, bone repair, and myocardial tissue engineering. Additionally, this review provides a rational discussion on the current challenges and prospects of CD-based supramolecular hydrogels, which can provide ideas for the rapid development of CD-based hydrogels and foster their translation from the laboratory to clinical medicine.

Abstract
Adhesive-caused injury is a great threat for extensive full-thickness skin trauma because extra-strong adhesion can incur unbearable pain and exacerbate trauma upon removal. Herein, inspired by the mussel, we designed and fabricated an adhesive antibacterial hydrogel dressing based on dynamic host-guest interaction that enabled on-demand stimuli-triggered removal to effectively care for wounds. In contrast with most hard-to-removable dressing, this adhesive antibacterial hydrogel exhibited strong adhesion property (85 kPa), which could achieve painless and noninvasive on-demand separation within 2 s through a host-guest competition mechanism (amantadine). At the same time, the hydrogel exhibited rapid self-healing properties, and the broken hydrogel could be completely repaired within 5 min. The hydrogel also had excellent protein adsorption properties, mechanical properties, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. This on-demand removal was facilitated by the introduction of amantadine as a competitive guest, without any significant adverse effects on cell activity (>90%) or wound healing (98.5%) in vitro. The full-thickness rat-skin defect model and histomorphological evaluation showed that the hydrogel could significantly promote wound healing and reduce scar formation by regulating inflammation, accelerating skin re-epithelialization, and promoting granulation tissue formation. These results indicate that the developed adhesive antibacterial hydrogel offers a promising therapeutic strategy for the healing of extensive full-layer skin injuries.

Abstract
Many active pharmaceutical ingredients show low oral bioavailability due to factors such as poor solubility and physical and chemical instability. The formation of inclusion complexes with cyclodextrins, as well as cyclodextrin-based polymers, nanosponges, and nanofibers, is a valuable tool to improve the oral bioavailability of many drugs. The microencapsulation process modifies key properties of the included drugs including volatility, dissolution rate, bioavailability, and bioactivity. In this context, we present relevant examples of the stabilization of labile drugs through the encapsulation in cyclodextrins. The formation of inclusion complexes with drugs belonging to class IV in the biopharmaceutical classification system as an effective solution to increase their bioavailability is also discussed. The stabilization and improvement in nutraceuticals used as food supplements, which often have low intestinal absorption due to their poor solubility, is also considered. Cyclodextrin-based nanofibers, which are polymer-free and can be generated using environmentally friendly technologies, lead to dramatic bioavailability enhancements. The synthesis of chemically modified cyclodextrins, polymers, and nanosponges based on cyclodextrins is discussed. Analytical techniques that allow the characterization and verification of the formation of true inclusion complexes are also considered, taking into account the differences in the procedures for the formation of inclusion complexes in solution and in the solid state.

Abstract
Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4NPs) are a fascinating field of study due to their wide range of practical applications in environmental and medical contexts. This study presents a straightforward, environmentally friendly method for producing Fe3O4NPs utilizing β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) as a reducing and capping agent. This approach results in the rapid and effective eco-friendly synthesis of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs. The properties and characteristics of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs were investigated using various methods, including ultraviolet-visible (UV/vis) spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), and vibrating-sample magnetometry (VSM). The absorption of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs caused a distinct peak at 349 nm, as evidenced by the results of UV/vis studies. This peak was attributed to the absorption of surface plasmon resonance. The crystalline nature of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs was confirmed through XRD analysis. The SEM and TEM analyses have verified the geometry and structural characteristics of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs. The β-CD/Fe3O4NPs exhibited remarkable effectiveness in the decomposing efficiency (%) of methylene blue (MB) dye with 52.2, 94.1, and 100% for 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 g β-CD/Fe3O4NPs, respectively. In addition, the highest efficiency in hunting radicals was observed (347.2 ± 8.2 mg/g) at 100 mg/mL β-CD/Fe3O4NPs; the combination of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs exhibited remarkable effectiveness in inhibiting the growth of some bacteria that cause infections. The capabilities of β-CD/Fe3O4NPs for various applications showed that these materials could be used in photocatalytic, antioxidants, and antibacterial.

Electrochemical Wearable Biosensors and Bioelectronic Devices Based on Hydrogels: Mechanical Properties and Electrochemical Behavior. BIOSENSORS 2023; 13:823. [PMID: 37622909 PMCID: PMC10452289 DOI: 10.3390/bios13080823] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 07/20/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
Hydrogel-based wearable electrochemical biosensors (HWEBs) are emerging biomedical devices that have recently received immense interest. The exceptional properties of HWEBs include excellent biocompatibility with hydrophilic nature, high porosity, tailorable permeability, the capability of reliable and accurate detection of disease biomarkers, suitable device-human interface, facile adjustability, and stimuli responsive to the nanofiller materials. Although the biomimetic three-dimensional hydrogels can immobilize bioreceptors, such as enzymes and aptamers, without any loss in their activities. However, most HWEBs suffer from low mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. Many studies have been performed on emerging electroactive nanofillers, including biomacromolecules, carbon-based materials, and inorganic and organic nanomaterials, to tackle these issues. Non-conductive hydrogels and even conductive hydrogels may be modified by nanofillers, as well as redox species. All these modifications have led to the design and development of efficient nanocomposites as electrochemical biosensors. In this review, both conductive-based and non-conductive-based hydrogels derived from natural and synthetic polymers are systematically reviewed. The main synthesis methods and characterization techniques are addressed. The mechanical properties and electrochemical behavior of HWEBs are discussed in detail. Finally, the prospects and potential applications of HWEBs in biosensing, healthcare monitoring, and clinical diagnostics are highlighted.

Abstract
Hypodontia (dental agenesis) is a genetic disorder, and it has been identified that the mutation C175T in PAX9 could lead to hypodontia. Cas9 nickase (nCas9)-mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) and base editing were used for the correction of this mutated point. This study aimed to investigate the effect of HDR and the base editor ABE8e in editing PAX9 mutant. It was found that the chitosan hydrogel was efficient in delivering naked DNA into dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). To explore the influence of the C175T mutation in PAX9 on the proliferation of DPSCs, hydrogel was employed to deliver PAX9 mutant vector into DPSCs, finding that the PAX9-containing C175T mutation failed to promote the proliferation of DPSCs. Firstly, DPSCs stably carrying PAX9 mutant were constructed. Either an HDR or ABE8e system was delivered into the above-mentioned stable DPSCs, and then the correction efficiency using Sanger sequencing and Western blotting was determined. Meanwhile, the ABE8e presented significantly higher efficiency in correcting C175T compared with HDR. Furthermore, the corrected PAX9 presented enhanced viability and differentiation capacity for osteogenic and neurogenic lineages; the corrected PAX9 even possessed extremely enhanced transcriptional activation ability. In summary, this study has powerful implications for studies into base editors, chitosan hydrogel, and DPSCs in treating hypodontia.

Abstract
In this paper, betaine (Bet) was used as a hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA), and acrylic acid (AA) and acrylamide (AM) were used as hydrogen bond donors (HBD) and mixed to form a deep eutectic solvent (DES). Different concentrations of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) were dispersed in the DES, and a novel β-CD/P(AA-co-AM) hydrogel was prepared by frontal polymerization (FP). The characteristic structure and morphology of the hydrogels were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the properties of the hydrogels were investigated. The results show that the mechanical properties of the hydrogel were improved by β-CD acting as a second cross-linking agent in the polymerization process, thus increasing the cross-link density of the hydrogel. Because the carboxyl groups contained in the acrylic acid dissociate under alkaline conditions, the composite hydrogel shows excellent pH responsiveness under alkaline conditions. Tetracycline hydrochloride was used as a drug model to test the drug loading and drug release performance of the hydrogels. With the increase of β-CD content, the loading capacity of the hydrogels for tetracycline hydrochloride gradually increased. The data of drug release indicated that the hydrogel has good drug delivery performance and has promising applications in drug delivery systems and other areas.
