Abstract
Developing nonconjugated materials with large Stokes shifts is highly desired. In this work, three kinds of hyperbranched aggregation-induced emission (AIE) polymers with tunable n/π electronic effects were synthesized. HBPSi-CBD contains alkenyl groups in the backbone and possesses a promoted n-π* transition and red-shifted emission wavelength with a large Stokes shift of 186 nm. Experiments and theoretical simulations confirmed that the planar π electrons in the backbone are responsible for the red-shifted emission due to the strong through-space n···π interactions and restricted backbone motions. Additionally, the designed HBPSi-CBD could be utilized as an ROS scavenger after coupling with l-methionine. The HBPSi-Met exhibits remarkable ROS scavenging properties with a scavenging capacity of 77%. This work not only gains further insight into the structure-property relationship of nonconjugated hyperbranched AIE polymers but also provides a promising ROS-scavenging biomaterial for the treatment of ROS-related diseases.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive hydrogels have emerged as a highly promising strategy for effective anticancer therapy owing to the remotely controlled release of chemotherapeutic molecules with minimal invasive manner. In this study, novel NIR-responsive hydrogels were developed from reactive oxygen species (ROS)-cleavable thioketal cross-linkers which possessed terminal tetrazine groups to undergo a bio-orthogonal inverse electron demand Diels Alder click reaction with norbornene modified carboxymethyl cellulose. The hydrogels were rapidly formed under physiological conditions and generated N2 gas as a by-product, which led to the formation of porous structures within the hydrogel networks. A NIR dye, indocyanine green (ICG) and chemotherapeutic doxorubicin (DOX) were co-encapsulated in the porous network of the hydrogels. Upon NIR-irradiation, the hydrogels showed spatiotemporal release of encapsulated DOX (>96 %) owing to the cleavage of thioketal bonds by interacting with ROS generated from ICG, whereas minimal release of encapsulated DOX (<25 %) was observed in the absence of NIR-light. The in vitro cytotoxicity results revealed that the hydrogels were highly cytocompatible and did not induce any toxic effect on the HEK-293 cells. In contrast, the DOX + ICG-encapsulated hydrogels enhanced the chemotherapeutic effect and effectively inhibited the proliferation of Hela cancer cells when irradiated with NIR-light.

Abstract
Achieving surgical success in orthopedic patients with metabolic disease remains a substantial challenge. Diabetic patients exhibit a unique tissue microenvironment consisting of high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which promotes osteoclastic activity and leads to decreased bone healing. Alternative solutions, such as synthetic grafts, incorporating progenitor cells or growth factors, can be costly and have processing constraints. Previously, the potential for thiol-methacrylate networks to sequester ROS while possessing tunable mechanical properties and degradation rates has been demonstrated. In this study, the ability to fabricate thiol-methacrylate interconnected porous scaffolds using emulsion templating to create monoliths with an average porosity of 97.0% is reported. The average pore sizes of the scaffolds range from 27 to 656 µm. The scaffolds can sequester pathologic levels of ROS via hydrogen peroxide consumption and are not impacted by sterilization. Subcutaneous implantation shows no signs of acute toxicity. Finally, in a 6-week bilateral calvarial defect model in Zucker diabetic fatty rats, ROS scaffolds increase new bone volume by 66% over sham defects. Histologic analysis identifies woven bone infiltration throughout the scaffold and neovascularization. Overall, this study suggests that porous thiol-methacrylate scaffolds may improve healing for bone grafting applications where high levels of ROS hinder bone growth.

Abstract
We examine peptide model systems designed to probe short-range N-H⋯OS sidechain-backbone hydrogen bonding involving amino acid residues with sidechain sulfoxide or sulfone functional groups and its effects on local conformations. A strong 7-membered ring hydrogen bond of this type accompanies an intra-residue N-H⋯OC interaction and stabilizes an extended backbone conformation in preference to classical folded structures.

Abstract
Neoplasias pose a significant threat to aging society, underscoring the urgent need to overcome the limitations of traditional chemotherapy through pioneering strategies. Targeted drug delivery is an evolving frontier in cancer therapy, aiming to enhance treatment efficacy while mitigating undesirable side effects. One promising avenue utilizes cell membrane receptors like the folate receptor to guide drug transporters precisely to malignant cells. Based on the cellular folate receptor as a cancer cell hallmark, targeted nanocarriers and small molecule-drug conjugates have been developed that comprise different (bio) chemistries and/or mechanical properties with individual advantages and challenges. Such modern folic acid-conjugated stimuli-responsive drug transporters provide systemic drug delivery and controlled release, enabling reduced dosages, circumvention of drug resistance, and diminished adverse effects. Since the drug transporters' structure-based de novo design is increasingly relevant for precision cancer remediation and diagnosis, this review seeks to collect and debate the recent approaches to deliver therapeutics or diagnostics based on folic acid conjugated Trojan Horses and to facilitate the understanding of the relevant chemistry and biochemical pathways. Focusing exemplarily on brain and breast cancer, recent advances spanning 2017 to 2023 in conjugated nanocarriers and small molecule drug conjugates were considered, evaluating the chemical and biological aspects in order to improve accessibility to the field and to bridge chemical and biomedical points of view ultimately guiding future research in FR-targeted cancer therapy and diagnosis.

Abstract
Plant-derived biocompounds play a crucial role in the field of renewable materials due to their sustainability as they can be converted into monomers for polymerization, comparable to numerous monomers obtained from petroleum. In this work, betulin, a triterpene derivative with antibacterial properties obtained from birch tree bark, was esterified to produce two varieties of α,ω-diene derivatives with different lengths of methylene spacers. These derivatives were then copolymerized with 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol using thiol-ene photopolymerization. We optimized and confirmed the polymerization parameters such as solvents, catalysts, and monomer concentrations. These analyses allowed for the obtainment of polysulfides with a high molar mass of up to 38.9 kg/mol under the optimized conditions. Furthermore, the polysulfides were converted into polysulfoxides by using a dilute hydrogen peroxide solution. Thermal analysis of the obtained polymers revealed excellent thermal stability (up to 300 °C) and tunable glass transition temperatures depending on their molar mass and composition. We successfully produced fibers with a diameter of approximately 3.9 μm by using the electrospinning technique. The morphology and hydrophobicity of the fibers were analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy and water contact angle analysis. Plant-derived polymeric fibers exhibited good cellular biocompatibility and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, making them promising candidates for applications in fruit preservation.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease that frequently involves cartilage damage and the destruction of the bone structure, ultimately resulting in disability and long-term pain. It is clear that overexpression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the complex inflammatory microenvironment are the main causes of RA pathogenesis; thereby, the efficacy of any single-drug treatment is limited. Herein, we formulated a therapeutic hyaluronic acid derivative (PAM-HA) with adsorption capacity to the subchondral bone, a long retention time within inflamed joints, and ROS-scavenging capacity, which was used as a drug carrier for realizing the controlled release of sinomenine (Sin) within arthritic joints. This "drug in therapeutic polymer" design strategy was aimed at realizing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory combination therapy for RA. In vivo experiments suggest that PAM-HA@Sin NPs can be retained in the inflamed joints of rats for a long time compared with commercially available free Sin injections. As expected, therapeutic PAM-HA polymeric carriers can increase joint lubrication and reduce oxidative stress, while the released Sin induces downregulation of proinflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-1β) and upregulation of anti-inflammatory factors (Arg-1 and IL-10) via the NF-κB pathway. In summary, a ROS-scavenging hyaluronic acid (HA) derivative was developed as the nanocarrier for Sin delivery to simultaneously remodel the oxidative/inflammatory microenvironment in RA, which opens up new horizons for the development of therapeutic polymers and the combined therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
This study is about multiple responsiveness in biomedical materials. This typically implies "orthogonality" (i.e., one response does not affect the other) or synergy (i.e., one increases efficacy or selectivity of the other), but an antagonist effect between responses may also occur. Here, we describe a family of very well-defined amphiphilic and micelle-forming block copolymers, which show both oxidative and temperature responses. They are produced via successive anionic ring-opening polymerization of episulfides and RAFT polymerization of dialkylacrylamides and differ only in the ratio between inert (N,N-dimethylacrylamide, DMA) and temperature-sensitive (N,N-diethylacrylamide, DEA) units. By scavenging Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), these polymers are anti-inflammatory; through temperature responsiveness, they can macroscopically aggregate, which may allow them to form depots upon injection. The localization of the anti-inflammatory action is an example of synergy. An extensive evaluation of toxicity and anti-inflammatory effects on in vitro models, including BV2 microglia, C8D30 astrocytes and primary neurons, shows a link between capacity of aggregation and detrimental effects on viability which, albeit mild, can hinder the anti-inflammatory potential (antagonist action). Although limited in breadth (e.g., only in vitro models and only DEA as a temperature-responsive unit), this study suggests that single-responsive controls should be used to allow for a precise assessment of the (synergic or antagonist) potential of double-responsive systems.

Abstract
Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has gained significant attention in the treatment of deep tumors and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial infections due to its high tissue penetration depth, high spatiotemporal selectivity, and noninvasive therapeutic method. SDT combines low-intensity ultrasound (US) and sonosensitizers to produce lethal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and external damage, which is the main mechanism behind this therapy. However, traditional organic small-molecule sonosensitizers display poor water solubility, strong phototoxicity, and insufficient targeting ability. Inorganic sonosensitizers, on the other hand, have low ROS yield and poor biocompatibility. These drawbacks have hindered SDT's clinical transformation and application. Hence, designing stimuli-responsive nano-sonosensitizers that make use of the lesion's local microenvironment characteristics and US stimulation is an excellent alternative for achieving efficient, specific, and safe treatment. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the currently accepted mechanisms in SDT and discuss the application of responsive nano-sonosensitizers in the treatment of tumor and bacterial infections. Additionally, we emphasize the significance of the principle and process of response, based on the classification of response patterns. Finally, this review emphasizes the potential limitations and future perspectives of SDT that need to be addressed to promote its clinical transformation.

Abstract
AbstractPoly(ether)s represent an important class of polymers and are typically formed by ring-opening polymerization, Williamson ether synthesis, or self-condensation of alcohols. The oxa-Michael reaction presents another method to form poly(ether)s with additional functional groups in the polymer backbone starting from di- or triols and electron deficient olefins such as acrylates, sulfones, or acrylamides. However, research on oxa-Michael polymerization is still limited. Herein, we outline the principles of the oxa-Michael polymerization and focus on the synthesis and preparation of poly(ether-sulfone)s, poly(ether-ester)s, poly(ether)s, and poly(ether-amide)s. Further, challenges as well as future perspectives of the oxa-Michael polymerization are discussed.

Abstract
Novel poly(dithiophosphate)s (PDTPs) were successfully synthesized under mild conditions without any additive in the presence of THF or toluene diluents at 60 °C by a direct, catalyst-free reaction between the abundant phosphorus pentasulfide (P4S10) and glycols such as ethylene glycol (EG), 1,6-hexanediol (HD) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). GPC, FTIR, 1H and 31P NMR analyses proved the formation of macromolecules with dithiophosphate coupling groups having P=S and P-SH pendant functionalities. Surprisingly, the ring-opening of THF by the P-SH group and its pendant incorporation as a branching point occur during polymerization. This process is absent with toluene, providing conditions to obtain linear chains. 31P NMR measurements indicate long-time partial hydrolysis and esterification, resulting in the formation of a thiophosphoric acid moiety and branching points. Copolymerization, i.e., using mixtures of EG or HD with PEG, results in polymers with broadly varying viscoelastic properties. TGA shows the lower thermal stability of PDTPs than that of PEG due to the relatively low thermal stability of the P-O-C moieties. The low Tgs of these polymers, from -4 to -50 °C, and a lack of PEG crystallites were found by DSC. This polymerization process and the resulting novel PDTPs enable various new routes for polymer synthesis and application possibilities.

Abstract
Macrophages play a diverse, key role in many pathologies, including inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. However, many therapeutic strategies targeting macrophages suffer from systemic off-target toxicity resulting in notoriously narrow therapeutic windows. To address this shortcoming, the development of poly(propylene sulfide)-b-poly(methacrylamidoglucopyranose) [PPS-b-PMAG] diblock copolymer-based nanoparticles (PMAG NPs) capable of targeting macrophages and releasing drug in the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is reported. PMAG NPs have desirable physicochemical properties for systemic drug delivery, including slightly negative surface charge, ≈100 nm diameter, and hemo-compatibility. Additionally, due to the presence of PPS in the NP core, PMAG NPs release drug cargo preferentially in the presence of ROS. Importantly, PMAG NPs display high cytocompatibility and are taken up by macrophages in cell culture at a rate ≈18-fold higher than PEGMA NPs-NPs composed of PPS-b-poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate). Computational studies indicate that PMAG NPs likely bind with glucose transporters such as GLUT 1/3 on the macrophage cell surface to facilitate high levels of internalization. Collectively, this study introduces glycopolymeric NPs that are uniquely capable of both receptor-ligand targeting to macrophages and ROS-dependent drug release and that can be useful in many immunotherapeutic settings.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of three highly soluble metalorganic copolymers, TCP1-3, that were made from a one-pot complexation of iron(II) clathrochelate units that are interconnected by various thioether-containing contorted groups. TCP1-3 were converted into their poly(vinyl sulfone) derivatives OTCP1-3 quantitatively via the selective oxidation of the thioether moieties into their respective sulfones. All of the copolymers, TCP1-3 and OTCP1-3, underwent structural analysis by various techniques; namely, 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The copolymers were tested as potent lithium ions adsorbents revealing a maximum adsorption (qm) value of 2.31 mg g-1 for OTCP2. Furthermore, this same copolymer was found to be a promising adsorbent of methylene blue (MEB); an isothermal adsorption study divulged that OTCP2's uptake of MEB from an aqueous solution (following the Langmuir model) was, at maximum adsorption capacity, (qm) of 480.77 mg g-1; whereas the kinetic study divulged that the adsorption follows pseudo second-order kinetics with an equilibrium adsorption capacity (qe,cal) of 45.40 mg g-1.

Abstract
World Health Organisation (WHO) delineated cancer as one of the foremost reasons for mortality with 10 million deaths in the year 2020. Early diagnosis and effective drug delivery are of utmost importance in cancer management. The entrapment of both bio-imaging dyes and drugs will open novel avenues in the area of tumor theranostics. Elevated levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione (GSH) are the characteristic features of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Researchers have taken advantage of these specific TME features in recent years to develop micelle-based theranostic nanosystems. This review focuses on the advantages of redox-sensitive micelles (RSMs) and supramolecular self-assemblies for tumor theranostics. Key chemical linkers employed for the tumor-specific release of the cargo have been discussed. In vitro characterisation techniques used for the characterization of RSMs have been deliberated. Potential bottlenecks that may present themselves in the bench-to-bedside translation of this technology and the regulatory considerations have been deliberated.

Abstract
First metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) arthroplasty procedures are a common podiatric procedure. However, almost one-third of cases require revision surgeries because of nonunions. Revision or salvage surgery requires more extensive hardware and bone grafts to recreate the first metatarsal. Unfortunately, salvage surgeries have a similar rate of failure attributed to delayed healing, bone graft dissolution, and the lack of bone ingrowth. Furthermore, patients who suffer from neuropathic comorbidities such as diabetes suffer from a diminished healing capacity. An increase in proinflammatory factors and the high presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS) present in diabetics are linked to lower fusion rates. To this end, there is a need for a clinically relevant bone graft to promote bone fusions in patients with neuropathic comorbidities. Incorporating thiol-ene networks for bone scaffolds has demonstrated increased osteogenic biomarkers over traditional polymeric materials. Furthermore, thiol-ene networks can act as antioxidants. Sulfide linkages within the network have an inherent ability to consume radical oxygen to create sulfoxide and sulfone groups. These unique properties of thiol-ene networks make them a promising candidate as bone grafts for diabetic patients. In this work, we propose a thiol-ene biomaterial to address the current limitations of MPJ fusion in diabetics by characterizing mechanical properties, degradation rates under accelerated conditions, and oxidative responsiveness under pathophysiologic conditions. We also demonstrated that thiol-ene-based materials could reduce the number of hydroxyl radicals associated with neuropathic comorbidities.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in several biological functions of living organisms such as regulation of cell signalling, production of some hormones, modulation of protein function or mediation of inflammation. In this regard, ROS responsive polymers are ideal candidates for the development of stimuli-responsive biomaterials for target therapies. Among different ROS-responsive polymers, those containing thioether groups are widely investigated in the biomedical field due to their hydrophobic to hydrophilic phase transition under oxidative conditions. This feature makes them able to self-assemble in aqueous solutions forming micellar-type nanoparticles or hydrogels to be mainly used as drug carriers for local therapies in damaged body areas characterized by high ROS production. This review article collects the main findings about the synthesis of thioether-based ROS responsive polymers and polypeptides, their self-assembly properties and ROS responsive behaviour for use as injectable nanoparticles or hydrogels. Afterward, the foremost applications of the thioether-based ROS responsive nanoparticles and hydrogels in the biomedical field, where cancer therapies are a key objective, will be discussed.

Abstract
A nanoreactor containing an evolved mutant of Saccharolobus solfataricus phosphotriesterase (L72C/Y97F/Y99F/W263V/I280T) as a catalytic bioscavenger was made for detoxification of organophosphates. This nanoreactor intended for treatment of organophosphate poisoning was studied against paraoxon (POX). Nanoreactors were low polydispersity polymersomes containing a high concentration of enzyme (20 μM). The polyethylene glycol-polypropylene sulfide membrane allowed for penetration of POX and exit of hydrolysis products. In vitro simulations under second order conditions showed that 1 μM enzyme inactivates 5 μM POX in less than 10 s. LD50-shift experiments of POX-challenged mice through intraperitoneal (i.p.) and subcutaneous (s.c.) injections showed that intravenous administration of nanoreactors (1.6 nmol enzyme) protected against 7 × LD50 i.p. in prophylaxis and 3.3 × LD50 i.p. in post-exposure treatment. For mice s.c.-challenged, LD50 shifts were more pronounced: 16.6 × LD50 in prophylaxis and 9.8 × LD50 in post-exposure treatment. Rotarod tests showed that transitory impaired neuromuscular functions of challenged mice were restored the day of experiments. No deterioration was observed in the following days and weeks. The high therapeutic index provided by prophylactic administration of enzyme nanoreactors suggests that no other drugs are needed for protection against acute POX toxicity. For post-exposure treatment, co-administration of classical drugs would certainly have beneficial effects against transient incapacitation.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-sensitive drug delivery systems (DDS) specifically responding to altered levels of ROS in the pathological microenvironment have emerged as an effective means to enhance the pharmaceutical efficacy of conventional nanomedicines, while simultaneously reducing side effects. In particular, the use of the biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic ROS-responsive thioketal (TK) functional group in the design of smart DDS has grown exponentially in recent years. In the design of TK-based DDS, different technological uses of TK have been proposed to overcome the major limitations of conventional DDS counterparts including uncontrolled drug release and off-target effects. This review will focus on the different technological uses of TK-based biomaterials in smart nanomedicines by using it as a linker to connect a drug on the surface of nanoparticles, form prodrugs, as a core component of the DDS to directly control its structure, to control the opening of drug-releasing gates or to change the conformation of the nano-systems. A comprehensive view of the various uses of TK may allow researchers to exploit this reactive linker more consciously while designing nanomedicines to be more effective with improved disease-targeting ability, providing novel therapeutic opportunities in the treatment of many diseases.

Abstract
Although reactive oxygen species (ROS) are essential for cellular processes, excessive ROS could be a major cause of various inflammatory diseases because of the oxidation of proteins, DNA, and membrane lipids. It has recently been suggested that the amount of ROS could thus be regulated to treat such physiological disorders. A ROS-scavenging hydrogel is a promising candidate for therapeutic applications because of its high biocompatibility, 3D matrix, and ability to be modified. Approaches to conferring antioxidant properties to normal hydrogels include embedding ROS-scavenging catalytic nanoparticles, modifying hydrogel polymer chains with ROS-adsorbing organic moieties, and incorporating ROS-labile linkers in polymer backbones. Such therapeutic hydrogels can be used for wound healing, cardiovascular diseases, bone repair, ocular diseases, and neurodegenerative disorders. ROS-scavenging hydrogels could eliminate oxidative stress, accelerate the regeneration process, and show synergetic effects with other drugs or therapeutic molecules. In this review, the mechanisms by which ROS are generated and scavenged in the body are outlined, and the effects of high levels of ROS and the resulting oxidative stress on inflammatory diseases are described. Next, the mechanism of ROS scavenging by hydrogels is explained depending on the ROS-scavenging agents embedded within the hydrogel. Lastly, the recent achievements in the development of ROS-scavenging hydrogels to treat various inflammation-associated diseases are presented.

Abstract
Nanoparticles have been demonstrated to be effective in targeted drug delivery to tumor due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. However, the inhomogeneous distribution of the nanoparticles in the tumor and the slow release of the drug make the therapeutic effect unsatisfied. Here, we present reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive micelles comprising poly (ethylene glycol)-poly(propylene sulfide) (PEG-PPS) for targeted delivery and in situ release of drug. Upon the irradiation of ultrasound, the loaded sonosensitizer hypocrellin (HC) will generate ROS to trigger the disassembly of the micelles and meanwhile realize sonodynamic therapy (SDT) effect of cancer. The in vivo experiment indicates that the HC loaded PEG-PPS are biocompatible and much more efficacious than an equivalent amount of free HC in inhibiting the growth of cancer.
