Abstract
Cluster-like collective cell migration of fibroblasts is one of the main factors of adhesion in injured tissues. In this research, a microdot biomaterial system is constructed using α-helical polypeptide nanoparticles and anti-inflammatory micelles, which are prepared by ring-opening polymerization of α-amino acids-N-carboxylic anhydrides (NCAs) and lactide, respectively. The microdot biomaterial system slowly releases functionalized polypeptides targeting mitochondria and promoting the influx of extracellular calcium ions under the inflammatory environment, thus inhibiting the expression of N-cadherin mediating cell-cell interaction, and promoting apoptosis of cluster fibroblasts, synergistically inhibiting the migration of fibroblast clusters at the site of tendon injury. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory micelles are celecoxib (Cex) solubilized by PEG/polyester, which can improve the inflammatory microenvironment at the injury site for a long time. In vitro, the microdot biomaterial system can effectively inhibit the migration of the cluster fibroblasts by inhibiting the expression of N-cadherin between cell-cell and promoting apoptosis. In vivo, the microdot biomaterial system can promote apoptosis while achieving long-acting anti-inflammation effects, and reduce the expression of vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in fibroblasts. Thus, this microdot biomaterial system provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of tendon adhesion by inhibiting the cluster migration of fibroblasts.

Abstract
The characteristics of injectable hydrogels make them a prime contender for various biomedical applications. Hyaluronic acid is an essential component of the matrix surrounding the cells; moreover, hyaluronic acid's structural and biochemical characteristics entice researchers to develop injectable hydrogels for various applications. However, due to its poor mechanical properties, several strategies are used to produce injectable hyaluronic acid hydrogel. This review summarizes published studies on the production of injectable hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid polysaccharide polymers and the biomedical field's applications for these hydrogel systems. Hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels are divided into two categories based on their injectability mechanisms: in situ-forming injectable hydrogels and shear-thinning injectable hydrogels. Many crosslinking methods are used to create injectable hydrogels; chemical crosslinking techniques are the most frequently investigated technique. Hybrid injectable hydrogel systems are widely investigated by blending hyaluronic acid with other polymers or nanoparticulate systems. Injectable hyaluronic acid hydrogels were thoroughly investigated and proven to demonstrate potential in various medical fields, including delivering drugs and cells, tissue repair, and wound dressings.

Abstract
Non-healing chronic diabetic wound treatment remains an unsolved healthcare challenge and still threatens patients' lives. Recently, hydrogel dressings based on natural biomaterials have been widely investigated to accelerate the healing of diabetic wounds. In this study, we introduce a bioactive hydrogel based on fish gelatin (FG) as a candidate for diabetic wound treatments, which is a recently emerged substitute for mammalian derived gelatin. The composite hydrogel simply fabricated with FG and oxidized hyaluronate (OHy) through Schiff base reaction could successfully accelerate wound healing due to their adequate mechanical stability and self-healing ability. In vitro studies showed that the fabricated hydrogels exhibited cytocompatibility and could reduce pro-inflammatory cytokine expression such as NO, IL-1β, TNF-α, and PGE2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. In addition, the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), a key marker of free radicals producing oxidative stress, was also reduced by fabricated hydrogels. Furthermore, in vivo experiments demonstrated that the hydrogel could promote wound closure, re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and protein expression of CD31, CD206, and Arg1 in diabetic mice models. Our study highlights the advanced potential of FG as a promising alternative material and indicates that FOHI can be successfully used for diabetic wound healing applications.

Abstract
Black rice anthocyanins (BRA) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using hyaluronic acid (HA), oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) to enhance the absorption and bioactivity of anthocyanins (ACNs). Results showed that HA/OHA-BSA-BRA NPs had a spherical morphology and excellent dispensability, with hydrated radius ~ 500 nm, zeta potential ~ - 30 mV, and encapsulation efficiency ~21 %. Moreover, using in vitro gastrointestinal release assay, we demonstrated that both BRA-loaded NPs exhibited effective controlled release properties of ACNs, significantly enhancing the accessibility of ACNs to the intestine. Cellular experiments showed that both two NPs had good biocompatibility and increased uptake of BRA. Furthermore, in comparison to the free BRA group, both BRA NPs groups significantly decreased the TEER value and increased the expression of tight junction proteins (Claudin 1, Occludin and ZO-1) in Caco-2 cell monolayers with LPS-induced damage. Therefore, our study demonstrated that HA/OHA-BSA-BRA NPs are promising carriers of ACNs and can effectively prevent the LPS-induced intestinal barrier injury in vitro.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) significantly contributes to the high incidence of complications and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction. Recently, injectable electroconductive hydrogels (IECHs) have emerged as promising tools for replicating the mechanical, electroconductive, and physiological characteristics of cardiac tissue. Herein, we aimed to develop a novel IECH by incorporating irbesartan as a drug delivery system (DDS) for cardiac repair. Our approach involved merging a conductive poly-thiophene derivative (PEDOT: PSS) with an injectable dual-network adhesive hydrogel (DNAH) comprising a catechol-branched polyacrylamide network and a chitosan-hyaluronic acid covalent network. The resulting P-DNAH hydrogel, benefitting from a high conducting polymer content, a chemically crosslinked network, a robust dissipative matrix, and dynamic oxidation of catechol to quinone exhibited superior mechanical strength, desirable conductivity, and robust wet-adhesiveness. In vitro experiments with the P-DNAH hydrogel carrying irbesartan (P-DNAH-I) demonstrated excellent biocompatibility by cck-8 kit on H9C2 cells and a rapid initial release of irbesartan. Upon injection into the infarcted hearts of MIRI mouse models, the P-DNAH-I hydrogel effectively inhibited the inflammatory response and reduced the infarct size. In conclusion, our results suggest that the P-DNAH hydrogel, possessing suitable mechanical properties and electroconductivity, serves as an ideal IECH for DDS, delivering irbesartan to promote heart repair.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are biodegradable, abundant, sustainable, and often benign natural polymers. The achievement of selective modification of polysaccharides is important for targeting specific properties and structures and will benefit future development of highly functional, sustainable materials. The synthesis of polysaccharides containing aldehyde or ketone moieties is a promising tool for achieving this goal because of the rich chemistry of aldehyde or ketone groups, including Schiff base formation, nucleophilic addition, and reductive amination. The obtained polysaccharide aldehydes or ketones themselves have rich potential for making useful materials, such as self-healing hydrogels, polysaccharide-protein therapeutic conjugates, or drug delivery vehicles. Herein, we review recent advances in synthesizing polysaccharides containing aldehyde or ketone moieties and briefly introduce their reactivity and corresponding applications.

Mechanically tough, adhesive, self-healing hydrogel promotes annulus fibrosus repair via autologous cell recruitment and microenvironment regulation. Acta Biomater 2024; 178:50-67. [PMID: 38382832 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.02.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024]
Abstract
Annulus fibrosus (AF) defect is an important cause of disc re-herniation after discectomy. The self-regeneration ability of the AF is limited, and AF repair is always hindered by the inflammatory microenvironment after injury. Hydrogels represent one of the most promising materials for AF tissue engineering strategies. However, currently available commercial hydrogels cannot withstand the harsh mechanical load within intervertebral disc. In the present study, an innovative triple cross-linked oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA)-dopamine (DA)- polyacrylamide (PAM) composite hydrogel, modified with collagen mimetic peptide (CMP) and supplied with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) (OHA-DA-PAM/CMP/TGF-β1 hydrogel) was developed for AF regeneration. The hydrogel exhibited robust mechanical strength, strong bioadhesion, and significant self-healing capabilities. Modified with collagen mimetic peptide, the hydrogel exhibited extracellular-matrix-mimicking properties and sustained the AF cell phenotype. The sustained release of TGF-β1 from the hydrogel was pivotal in recruiting AF cells and promoting extracellular matrix production. Furthermore, the composite hydrogel attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory response and promote ECM synthesis in AF cells via suppressing NFκB/NLRP3 pathway. In vivo, the composite hydrogel successfully sealed AF defects and alleviated intervertebral disk degeneration in a rat tail AF defect model. Histological evaluation showed that the hydrogel integrated well with host tissue and facilitated AF repair. The strategy of recruiting endogenous cells and providing an extracellular-matrix-mimicking and anti-inflammatory microenvironment using the mechanically tough composite OHA-DA-PAM/CMP/TGF-β1 hydrogel may be applicable for AF defect repair in the clinic. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Annulus fibrosus (AF) repair is challenging due to its limited self-regenerative capacity and post-injury inflammation. In this study, a mechanically tough and highly bioadhesive triple cross-linked composite hydrogel, modified with collagen mimetic peptide (CMP) and supplemented with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1), was developed to facilitate AF regeneration. The sustained release of TGF-β1 enhanced AF cell recruitment, while both TGF-β1 and CMP could modulate the microenvironment to promote AF cell proliferation and ECM synthesis. In vivo, this composite hydrogel effectively promoted the AF repair and mitigated the intervertebral disc degeneration. This research indicates the clinical potential of the OHA-DA-PAM/CMP/TGF-β1 composite hydrogel for repairing AF defects.

Abstract
Oral ulcers can significantly reduce the life quality of patients and even lead to malignant transformations. Local treatments using topical agents are often ineffective because of the wet and dynamic environment of the oral cavity. Current clinical treatments for oral ulcers, such as corticosteroids, have limitations and side effects for long-term usage. Here, we develop adhesive hydrogel patches (AHPs) that effectively promote the healing of oral ulcers in a rat model. The AHPs are comprised of the quaternary ammonium salt of chitosan, aldehyde-functionalized hyaluronic acid, and a tridentate complex of protocatechualdehyde and Fe3+ (PF). The AHPs exhibit tunable mechanical properties, self-healing ability, and wet adhesion on the oral mucosa. Through controlling the formula of the AHPs, PF released from the AHPs in a temporal manner. We further show that the AHPs have good biocompatibility and the capability to heal oral ulcers rapidly. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that the PF released from AHPs facilitated ulcer healing by suppressing inflammation, promoting macrophage polarization, enhancing cell proliferation, and inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition involving inflammation, proliferation, and maturation stages. This study provides insights into the healing of oral ulcers and presents an effective therapeutic biomaterial for the treatment of oral ulcers. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: By addressing the challenges associated with current clinical treatments for oral ulcers, the development of adhesive hydrogel patches (AHPs) presents an effective approach. These AHPs possess unique properties, such as tunable mechanical characteristics, self-healing ability, and strong adhesion to the mucosa. Through controlled release of protocatechualdehyde-Fe3+ complex, the AHPs facilitate the healing process by suppressing inflammation, promoting cell proliferation, and inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition. The study not only provides valuable insights into the healing mechanisms of oral ulcers but also introduces a promising therapeutic biomaterial. This work holds significant scientific interest and demonstrates the potential to greatly improve the treatment outcomes and quality of life for individuals suffering from oral ulcers.

Abstract
Currently, stem cells are a prominent focus of regenerative engineering research. However, due to the limitations of commonly used stem cell sources, their application in therapy is often restricted to the experimental stage and constrained by ethical considerations. In contrast, urine-derived stem cells (USCs) offer promising advantages for clinical trials and applications. The noninvasive nature of the collection process allows for repeated retrieval within a short period, making it a more feasible option. Moreover, studies have shown that USCs have a protective effect on organs, promoting vascular regeneration, inhibiting oxidative stress, and reducing inflammation in various acute and chronic organ dysfunctions. The application of USCs has also been enhanced by advancements in biomaterials technology, enabling better targeting and controlled release capabilities. This review aims to summarize the current state of research on USCs, providing insights for future applications in basic and clinical settings.

Abstract
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) have devastating physical, psychological, and psychosocial consequences for patients. One challenge of nerve tissue repair is the lack of a natural extracellular matrix (ECM) that guides the regenerating axons. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a major ECM component and plays a fundamental role in facilitating lesion healing. Herein, we developed HA-based adhesive hydrogels by modification of HA with dopamine, a mussel-inspired compound with excellent adhesive properties in an aqueous environment. The hydrogels were loaded with the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen and the response of neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y) was evaluated in terms of viability, morphology, and adhesion. The obtained results suggested that the developed materials can bridge lesion gaps, guide axonal growth, and simultaneously act as a vehicle for the delivery of bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Current trends in wound care research focus on creating dressings for diverse wound types, aiming to effectively control the wound healing process. We proposed a wound dressing composed of oxidized hyaluronic acid and amine gelatin with embedded lysine-modified gelatin nanoparticles (HGel-GNPs-lysine). This dressing improves mechanical properties and reduces degradation rates. The storage modulus for HGel-GNPs-lysine was 3,800 Pa, exceeding that of HGel (1,750 Pa). The positively charged surface of GNPs-lysine effectively eliminated Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In a diabetic mice model (C57BL/6), HGel-GNPs-lysine immobilized with basic-fibroblast growth factor promoted granulation tissue thickness and collagen density. Gene expression analysis indicated that HGel-GNPs-lysine reduced inflammation and enhanced angiogenesis. This study highlights that HGel-GNPs-lysine could offer alternative treatment strategies for regulating the inflammatory response at the injury site in wound dressing applications.

Abstract
In this study, hollow mesoporous silica (HMSN) was created to facilitate drug distribution using the hard template method. The oxidized hyaluronic acid (oxiHA) was coated on the carrier surface by the Schiff base reaction, producing the pH-responsive nanoparticles HMSNs-DOX-oxiHA targeted by CD44 and preventing drug leakage from mesopores. The prepared nanoparticles had a size of 151.79 ± 13.52 nm and a surface potential of -8.42 ± 0.48 mV. The rich mesoporous structure and internal cavity of HMSNs-NH2 achieved the effective encapsulation and loading rates of doxorubicin (DOX) at 76.84 ± 0.24 % and 18.73 ± 0.05 %, respectively. Owing to the pH sensitivity of imine bonds, HMSNs-DOX-oxiHA has a good pH response and release performance. The in vitro experiments showed that the nanoparticles were not cytotoxic and could enhance HCT-116 uptake efficiency by hyaluronic acid/CD44 receptor-mediated endocytosis, effectively inhibiting tumor cell proliferation and reducing toxic side effects on normal cells. In summary, the polysaccharide-based nano-drug delivery system constructed in this experiment not only has the basic response properties of a carrier but also introduces the bioactive advantages of natural polysaccharides.

Abstract
The self-healing hydrogel offering intrinsic antibacterial activity is often required for the treatment of wounds because it can provide effective wound protection and prevent wound infection. Herein, antibacterial hyaluronic acid hydrogels with enhanced self-healing performances are prepared by multiple dynamic-bond crosslinking between aldehyde hyaluronic acid, 3, 3'- dithiobis (propionyl hydrazide) and fungal-sourced quaternized chitosan. Due to the formation of these different types of reversible interactions e.g. hydrazone bonds, disulfide bonds, and electrostatic interactions, the hyaluronic acid hydrogels can gel rapidly and exhibit excellent self-healing ability, which can heal completely within 1 h. Furthermore, the hydrogels show good antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus with an inhibition ratio of ~100 % and above 75 %, respectively. Additionally, the hydrogels are cytocompatible, which makes them the potential for biomedical applications e.g. cell culture, tissue engineering, and wound dressing.

Abstract
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, which acts as a protective barrier against pathogens. Therefore, a lot of research has been carried out on wound care and healing. Creating an ideal environment for wound healing and optimizing the local and systemic conditions of the patient play critical roles in successful wound care. Many products have been developed for improving the wound environment and providing a protected and moist area for fast healing. However, there is still high demand for new systems with high efficiency. The first generation of wound dressings merely covered the wound, while the subsequent/last generations covered it and aided in healing it in different ways. In modern wound dressings, the kind of used materials and their complexity play a crucial role in the healing process. These new systems support wound healing by lowering inflammation, exudate, slough, and bacteria. This study addresses a review of alginate/hyaluronic acid-based wound dressings developed so far as well as binary and ternary systems and their role in wound healing. Our review corroborates that these systems can open up a new horizon for wounds that do not respond to usual treatments and have a long curing period.

Abstract
Dynamic hydrogel systems from N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC) are investigated in the past years, which has facilitated their widespread use in many biomedical engineering applications. However, the influence of the polymer's oxidation levels on the hydrogel biological properties is not fully investigated. In this study, chitosan is converted into NOCC and introduced to react spontaneously with oxidized xanthan gum (OXG) to form several injectable hydrogels with controlled degradability. Different oxidation levels of xanthan gum, as well as NOCC/OXG volume ratios, are trialed. The infrared spectroscopy spectra verify chemical modification on OXG and successful crosslinking. With increasing oxidation levels, more dialdehyde groups are introduced into the OXG, resulting in changes in physical properties including gelation, swelling, and self-healing efficiency. Under different volume ratios, the hydrogel shows a stable structure and rigidity with higher mechanical properties, and a slower degradation rate. The shear-thinning and self-healing properties of the hydrogels are confirmed. In vitro assays with L929 cells show the biocompatibility of all formulations although the use of a high amount of OXG15 and OXG25 limited the cell proliferation capacity. Findings in this study suggested a suitable amount of OXG at different oxidation levels in NOCC hydrogel systems for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides (MPs) are exceptional bioactive materials that possess unique biochemical mechanisms and pharmacological stability, making them ideal for various tissue engineering applications. Certain MPs, including agarose, alginate, carrageenan, chitosan, and glucan have been successfully employed as biological scaffolds in animal studies. As carriers of signaling molecules, scaffolds can enhance the adhesion, growth, and differentiation of somatic cells, thereby significantly improving the tissue regeneration process. However, the biological benefits of pure MPs composite scaffold are limited. Therefore, physical, chemical, enzyme modification and other methods are employed to expand its efficacy. Chemically, the structural properties of MPs scaffolds can be altered through modifications to functional groups or molecular weight reduction, thereby enhancing their biological activities. Physically, MPs hydrogels and sponges emulate the natural extracellular matrix, creating a more conducive environment for tissue repair. The porosity and high permeability of MPs membranes and nanomaterials expedite wound healing. This review explores the distinctive properties and applications of select MPs in tissue regeneration, highlighting their structural versatility and biological applicability. Additionally, we provide a brief overview of common modification strategies employed for MP scaffolds. In conclusion, MPs have significant potential and are expected to be a novel regenerative material for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Oxidation of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) using varying molar ratios of sodium periodate (NaIO4) was investigated in detail on synthesis, characterization and antibacterial property. Synthesis and characterization results showed that Oxidized β-cyclodextrins (OX-β-CDs) were obtained and aldehyde (CHO) groups were successfully introduced. Our results demonstrated that aldehyde content and yield increased with increasing NaIO4 molar amount. However, the structure of β-CD was degraded as a result of glycosidic ring opening with increasing stoichiometric ratio of NaIO4/β-CD to 5/1 and 7/1. Aldehyde functional groups in OX-β-CDs were characterized by employing FTIR, 1H NMR, XRD, SEM techniques and confirmed by the detection of CHO peak at 1730 cm-1 in the FTIR and detection of the aldehyde H peak between 9 to 10 ppm in the 1H NMR spectrum. In addition, SEM and XRD of OX-β-CDs showed alterations in the morphological and crystal structure (transforming from crystalline to amorphous) of β-CD as a result of increasing oxidation. Especially, antibacterial activity of OX-β-CDs was investigated against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria by using the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the Disk diffusion method. The results showed that OX-β-CDs possessed good antibacterial activity, which can destroy the bacterial cell wall, and may be used as an antibacterial agent.

Abstract
Most existing injectable hydrogels are non-porous, thereby lacking a microporous structure to promote cell ingrowth. Also, most hydrogels do not effectively adhere to the host tissue. The present study describes an injectable double network hydrogel formed by combining two hyaluronic acid (HA) derivatives, namely dopamine grafted HA (DAHA) and methacrylated HA (HAMA). These constituents instantly form a physically crosslinked network through Fe3+-dopamine coordination, and confer fast gelation, pore formation, and self-healing properties to the hydrogel. Photocroslinked upon UV exposure, HAMA forms a chemically crosslinked network, thereby improving mechanical and degradation properties. The adhesive properties of this hydrogel are attributed to the presence of dopamine groups, inspired by mussel creatures. Proper modification of HA chains was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy. The physical, mechanical, rheological, and biological properties of the new hydrogels were quantified in wet laboratory conditions. The results revealed that the DAHA/HAMA hydrogel rapidly forms a self-healing microporous adhesive scaffold with a 26.9 µm pore size, 29.4 kPa compressive modulus, and 12.8 kPa adhesion strength in under 6 s. These findings suggest that the new hydrogel is a promising candidate for in situ repair of soft tissues, particularly mechanically dynamic ones such as the vocal folds, cartilage, and dermis.

Abstract
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) play a critical role in tumor progression and metastasis. Modulation of TAM polarization is one of the most effective strategies to change the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). In this study, organic polymer nanoparticles (CPHT) were prepared using hyaluronic acid (HA)-conjugated disulfide-bonded polyethylene imide (PEIS) as a carrier through a self-assembly strategy. These nanoparticles were modified by transferrin (Tf) and loaded with chlorin e6 (Ce6). The results showed that CPHT had good dispersion with a particle size of about 30 nm. CPHT gradually disintegrated under the exposure with a high concentration of glutathione (GSH) in tumor cells, proving the possibility for the controlled release of Ce6 and photodynamic therapy. An in vitro test showed that the uptake of CPHT in tumor cells was mediated by both HA and Tf, indicating the active tumor-targeting capacity of CPHT. CPHT significantly downregulated the ratio of CD206/CD86 and triggered the upregulation of immune factors such as TNF-α and iNOS, suggesting the repolarization of TAMs. We also found that CPHT effectively induced ferroptosis in tumor cells through lipid peroxide accumulation, GSH depletion, and downregulation of lipid peroxidase (GPX4) expression. Animal experiments confirmed that CPHT not only effectively inhibited the growth of tumors in situ but also significantly decelerated the growth of the distal tumor. Elevated levels of CD86 and IFN-γ and decreased expression of CD206 were observed at the tumor sites post CPHT treatment. These results confirmed the value of CPHT as a multifunctional nanoplatform that can tune the TME and provide new hope for tumor treatment.

Injectable nano-composite hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid-chitosan derivatives for simultaneous photothermal-chemo therapy of cancer with anti-inflammatory capacity. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 310:120721. [PMID: 36925247 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 19.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 02/21/2023]
Abstract
Nowadays, the photothermal therapy (PTT) has received widespread attention and research by rapidly killing tumors with local high temperature. However, due to the irregular edges of tumor and the blurred boundary between normal and necrotic tissues, the desirable treatment cannot be achieved by the single PTT, and excessive heat will cause serious inflammation in local tissues. Herein, an injectable composite hydrogel is prepared by the oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) and hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS) via the imine bonds, which is employed as the delivery substrate for functional substances. In the gel medium, the mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) nanoparticles are incorporated as the high efficiency photothermal agent and a reservoir of DOX, which can achieve the good photothermal conversion performance and pulsed drug release. Besides, the addition of the curcumin-cyclodextrin host-guest inclusion complex (CUR@NH2-CD) in the composite hydrogel could reduce the inflammation caused by PTT. The composite hydrogel shows favorable the Hepa1-6 tumor inhibition in vivo by virtue of the comprehensive effect of the admired photothermal efficacy of MPDA, chemotherapy of DOX and anti-inflammatory of CUR. It can be predicted that the composite hydrogel has a broad prospect in the field of comprehensive therapy for tumor.

Abstract
Brain tumors are the most difficult to treat, not only because of the variety of their forms and the small number of effective chemotherapeutic agents capable of suppressing tumor cells, but also limited by poor drug transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Nanoparticles are promising drug delivery solutions promoted by the expansion of nanotechnology, emerging in the creation and practical use of materials in the range from 1 to 500 nm. Carbohydrate-based nanoparticles is a unique platform for active molecular transport and targeted drug delivery, providing biocompatibility, biodegradability, and a reduction in toxic side effects. However, the design and fabrication of biopolymer colloidal nanomaterials have been and remain highly challenging to date. Our review is devoted to the description of carbohydrate nanoparticle synthesis and modification, with a brief overview of the biological and promising clinical outcomes. We also expect this manuscript to highlight the great potential of carbohydrate nanocarriers for drug delivery and targeted treatment of gliomas of various grades and glioblastomas, as the most aggressive of brain tumors.

Abstract
During the last decade, pH-sensitive biomaterials containing antibacterial agents have grown exponentially in soft tissue engineering. The aim of this study is to synthesize a biodegradable pH sensitive and antibacterial hydrogel with adjustable mechanical and physical properties for soft tissue engineering. This biodegradable copolymer hydrogel was made of Poly-L-Arginine methacrylate (Poly-L-ArgMA) and different poly (β- amino ester) (PβAE) polymers. PβAE was prepared with four different diacrylate/diamine monomers including; 1.1:1 (PβAE1), 1.5:1 (PβAE1.5), 2:1 (PβAE2), and 3:1 (PβAE3), which was UV cross-linked using dimethoxy phenyl-acetophenone agent. These PβAE were then used for preparation of Poly-L-ArgMA/PβAE polymers and revealed a tunable swelling ratio, depending on the pH conditions. Noticeably, the swelling ratio increased by 1.5 times when the pH decreased from 7.4 to 5.6 in the Poly-L-ArgMA/PβAE1.5 sample. Also, the controllable degradation rate and different mechanical properties were obtained, depending on the PβAE monomer ratio. Noticeably, the tensile strength of the PβAE hydrogel increased from 0.10 ± 0.04 MPa to 2.42 ± 0.3 MPa, when the acrylate/diamine monomer molar ratio increased from 1.1:1 to 3:1. In addition, Poly-L-ArgMA/PβAE samples significantly improved L929 cell viability, attachment and proliferation. Poly-L-ArgMA also enhanced the antibacterial activities of PβAE against both Escherichia coli (~5.1 times) and Staphylococcus aureus (~2.7 times). In summary, the antibacterial and pH-sensitive Poly-L-ArgMA/PβAE1.5 with suitable mechanical, degradation and biological properties could be an appropriate candidate for soft tissue engineering, specifically wound healing applications.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic biofilm-associated inflammatory disease of the tooth-supporting tissues that causes tooth loss. It is strongly associated with anaerobic bacterial colonization and represents a substantial global health burden. Due to a local hypoxic environment, tissue regeneration is impaired. Oxygen therapy has shown promising results as a potential treatment of periodontitis, but so far, local oxygen delivery remains a key technical challenge. An oxygen (O2)-releasing hyaluronic acid (HA)-based dispersion with a controlled oxygen delivery was developed. Cell viability of primary human fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and HUVECs was demonstrated, and biocompatibility was tested using a chorioallantoic membrane assay (CAM assay). Suppression of anaerobic growth of Porphyromonas gingivalis was shown using the broth microdilution assay. In vitro assays showed that the O2-releasing HA was not cytotoxic towards human primary fibroblasts, osteoblasts, and HUVECs. In vivo, angiogenesis was enhanced in a CAM assay, although not to a statistically significant degree. Growth of P. gingivalis was inhibited by CaO2 concentrations higher than 256 mg/L. Taken together, the results of this study demonstrate the biocompatibility and selective antimicrobial activity against P. gingivalis for the developed O2-releasing HA-based dispersion and the potential of O2-releasing biomaterials for periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex process of overlapping phases with the primary aim of the creation of new tissues and restoring their anatomical functions. Wound dressings are fabricated to protect the wound and accelerate the healing process. Biomaterials used to design dressing of wounds could be natural or synthetic as well as the combination of both materials. Polysaccharide polymers have been used to fabricate wound dressings. The applications of biopolymers, such as chitin, gelatin, pullulan, and chitosan, have greatly expanded in the biomedical field due to their non-toxic, antibacterial, biocompatible, hemostatic, and nonimmunogenic properties. Most of these polymers have been used in the form of foams, films, sponges, and fibers in drug carrier devices, skin tissue scaffolds, and wound dressings. Currently, special focus has been directed towards the fabrication of wound dressings based on synthesized hydrogels using natural polymers. The high-water retention capacity of hydrogels makes them potent candidates for wound dressings as they provide a moist environment in the wound and remove excess wound fluid, thereby accelerating wound healing. The incorporation of pullulan with different, naturally occurring polymers, such as chitosan, in wound dressings is currently attracting much attention due to the antimicrobial, antioxidant and nonimmunogenic properties. Despite the valuable properties of pullulan, it also has some limitations, such as poor mechanical properties and high cost. However, these properties are improved by blending it with different polymers. Additionally, more investigations are required to obtain pullulan derivatives with suitable properties in high quality wound dressings and tissue engineering applications. This review summarizes the properties and wound dressing applications of naturally occurring pullulan, then examines it in combination with other biocompatible polymers, such chitosan and gelatin, and discusses the facile approaches for oxidative modification of pullulan.

Abstract
A facile one-pot approach was adopted to prepare a polysaccharide-based hydrogel of oxidized starch (OS)-chitosan. The synthetic monomer-free, eco-friendly hydrogel was prepared in an aqueous solution and employed for controlled drug release application. The starch was first oxidized under mild conditions to prepare its bialdehydic derivative. Subsequently, the amino group-containing a modified polysaccharide, "chitosan" was introduced on the backbone of OS via a dynamic Schiff-base reaction. The bio-based hydrogel was obtained via a one-pot in-situ reaction, where functionalized starch acts as a macro-cross-linker that contributes structural stability and integrity to the hydrogel. The introduction of chitosan contributes stimuli-responsive properties and thus pH-sensitive swelling behavior was obtained. The hydrogel showed its potential as a pH-dependent controlled drug release system and a maximum of 29 h sustained release period was observed for ampicillin sodium salt drug. In vitro studies confirmed that the prepared drug-loaded hydrogels showed excellent antibacterial ability. Most importantly, the hydrogel could find potential use in the biomedical field due to its facile reaction conditions, biocompatibility along with the controlled releasing ability of the encapsulated drug.

Abstract
As a common complication of diabetic patients, the chronic wound of diabetes has a high incidence, expensive treatment, and recurrence probability, which causes long-term negative impacts on patients' daily life. In this study, the hydrogel was formed by Schiff base reaction between oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and the composite hydrogel dressing was prepared by adding the active polypeptides extract of Periplaneta Americana (PAE). By mass spectrometer determined, PAE mainly includes vitellogenins that can trigger an immune response. The composite hydrogel has good swelling properties, proper fluidity, and a regular 3D network structure. The hydrogel has good cytocompatibility and can promote cell proliferation by L929 fibroblast assay. Finally, it was used to evaluate the effect of diabetic wound repair. The results showed that it could effectively promote wound healing, promote tissue and vascular regeneration, inhibit inflammatory factors, and promote the expression of growth factors. The OHA/CMCS/PAE hydrogels would be promising candidates for chronic wound healing applications.

Abstract
Damage to cartilage tissues is often difficult to repair owing to chronic inflammation and a lack of bioactive factors. Therefore, developing bioactive materials, such as hydrogels acting as extracellular matrix mimics, that can inhibit the inflammatory microenvironment and promote cartilage repair is crucial. Hyaluronic acid, which exists in cartilage and synovial fluid, has been extensively investigated for cartilage tissue engineering because of its promotion of cell adhesion and proliferation, regulation of inflammation, and enhancement of cartilage regeneration. However, hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels have poor degradation rates and unfavorable mechanical properties, limiting their application in cartilage tissue engineering. Recently, various multifunctional hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels, including alkenyl, aldehyde, thiolated, phenolized, hydrazide, and host–guest group-modified hydrogels, have been extensively studied for use in cartilage tissue engineering. In this review, we summarize the recent progress in the multifunctional design of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels and their application in cartilage tissue engineering. Moreover, we outline the future research prospects and directions in cartilage tissue regeneration. This would provide theoretical guidance for developing hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels with specific properties to satisfy the requirements of cartilage tissue repair.

Abstract
Endowing bone regeneration materials with both stem cell recruitment and osteoinduction properties is a key factor in promoting osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants. In this study, Apt19s-grafted oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) was deposited onto a protein-mediated biomineralization hydroxyapatite (HAp) coating of Ti. HAp was achieved by the treatment of lysozyme and tris(2-carboxyethyl) phosphonate mixture and then soaked in calcium ion (Ca2+) solution to obtain functional Ti substrate (Ti/HAp/OHA-Apt). In vitro studies confirmed that Ti/HAp/OHA-Apt could effectively maintain the sustained release of Apt19s from Ti for 7 days. The released Apt19s significantly enhanced the migration of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which was reflected by the experiment of transwell assay, wound healing, and zymogram detection. Compared with pure Ti, Ti/HAp/OHA-Apt was able to adjust the adsorption of functional proteins at the Ti-based interface to expose their active sites, which significantly increased the expression of adhesion-associated proteins (vinculin and tensin) in MSCs to promote their adhesion on Ti-based interface. In vitro cell experiments of alkaline phosphatase activity staining, mineralization detection, and expression of osteogenesis-related genes showed that Ti/HAp/OHA-Apt significantly enhanced the osteogenic differentiation ability of MSCs, which may be highly related to the porous structure of hydroxyapatite on Ti interface. In vivo test of Micro-CT, H&E staining, and histochemical staining further confirmed that Ti/HAp/OHA-Apt was able to promote MSC recruitment at the peri-implant interface to form new bone. This work provides a new approach to develop functional Ti-based materials for bone defect repair.

Abstract
The conjunctiva covers the largest area of ocular surface and is responsible for tear balance and clear vision. After trauma or surgery, the conjunctiva is prone to scarring and contracture. Transplantation with suture often implies numerous complications, such as inflammation, suture erosion, granuloma. And the suture needs to be removed, which means a secondary trauma. In this study, a (GMO) for sutureless conjunctival transplantation was developed based on a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (sIPN) consisting of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA). The maximum adhesion strength was 157 ± 17 kPa, and the burst pressure was 357 ± 29 kPa, which was 15 times higher than the human intraocular pressure (IOP). GMO bioadhesive hydrogel significantly improved surgical efficiency and secured the collagen scaffold firmly to a rabbit conjunctival defect. The sutureless transplantation approach revealed the promoted tissue repair without scar. In conclusion, GMO bioadhesive may be an attractive alternative to suture for ocular surface reconstruction by avoiding suture-related complications and improving clinical outcome. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Conjunctival tissue is prone to scarring and contracture after trauma, and surgery with sutures often implies numerous complications. In this study, the ocular surface reconstruction was achieved by sutureless transplantation of conjunctival scaffold using bioadhesive hydrogel. The prepared GMO bioadhesive based on the semi-interpenetrating network of gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) had favorable adhesion and mechanical properties. The sutureless transplantation approach significantly improved the operation efficiency, avoided suture-related complications, and promoted the regeneration of conjunctiva. This study highlights the great potential of the sutureless repair strategy for clinical application in ocular surface reconstruction.

Abstract
The incidence and of bacterial infections, and resulting mortality, among cancer patients is growing dramatically, worldwide. Several therapeutics have been reported to have dual anticancer and antibacterial activity. However, there is still an urgent need to develop new drug delivery strategies to improve their clinical efficacy. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a novel acid cleavable prodrug (HA-Cip) from ciprofloxacin and hyaluronic acid to simultaneously enhance the anticancer and antibacterial properties of Cip as a superior drug delivery system. HA-Cip was synthesised and characterised (FT-IR, HR-MS, and H1 NMR). HA-Cip generated stable micelles with an average particle size, poly dispersion index (PDI) and zeta potential (ZP) of 237.89 ± 25.74 nm, 0.265 ± 0.013, and -17.82 ± 1.53 mV, respectively. HA-Cip showed ≥80 % cell viability against human embryonic kidney 293 cells (non-cancerous cells), ˂0.3 % haemolysis; and a faster pH-responsive ciprofloxacin release at pH 6.0. HA-Cip showed a 5.4-fold improvement in ciprofloxacin in vitro anticancer activity against hepatocellular cancer (HepG2) cells; and enhanced in vitro antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae at pH 6.0. Our findings show HA-Cip as a promising prodrug for targeted delivery of ciprofloxacin to efficiently treat bacterial infections associated, and/or co-existing, with cancer.

Abstract
Oxidized sucrose (OS) is a bio-based cross-linking agent with excellent biological safety and environmental non-toxicity. However, the precise structure of OS has not been elucidated owing to its structural complexity and low purity. Accordingly, in this study, complete chemical shift assignments were performed by applying various nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, which permitted the structural and quantitative characterization of the two main OS products, each of which contained four aldehyde groups. In addition, we investigated the use of OS as a cross-linking agent in the preparation of a hydrogel from carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC), one of the most popular polysaccharides for use in biomedical applications. The primary amine groups of CMC were immediately cross-linked with the aldehyde groups of OS to form hydrogels without the requirement for a catalyst. It was found that the degree of cross-linking could be easily controlled by the feed amount of OS during CMC hydrogel preparation and the final cross-linking degree affected the thermal, swelling, and rheological properties of the obtained hydrogel. The results presented in this study are therefore expected to be applicable in the preparation of fully carbohydrate-based hydrogels for medical and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract
Sequential periodate-chlorite oxidation of sodium hyaluronate to 2,3-dicarboxylated hyaluronate (DCH), a novel biocompatible and highly functionalized derivative bearing additional pair of COOH groups at C2 and C3 carbons of oxidized ᴅ-glucuronic acid units, is investigated. The impact of various reaction parameters (time, oxidizer concentration, and molar amount) on DCH's composition, molecular weight, degree of oxidation, and cytotoxicity are investigated to guide the synthesis of DCH derivatives of desired properties. Subsequently, fully (99%) and partially (70%) oxidized DCH derivatives were compared to untreated sodium hyaluronate in terms of anticancer drug cisplatin loading efficacy, carrier capacity, drug release rates, and cytotoxicity towards healthy and cancerous cell lines. DCH derivatives were found to be superior in every aspect, having nearly twice the carrier capacity, significantly slower release rates, and higher efficacy. DCH is thus a highly interesting hyaluronate derivative with an adjustable degree of oxidation, molecular weight, and great potential for further modifications.

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
Methacryloyl gelatin (GelMA) is a versatile material for bioprinting because of its tunable physical properties and inherent bioactivity. Bioprinting of GelMA is often met with challenges such as lower viscosity of GelMA inks due to higher methacryloyl substitution and longer physical gelation time at room temperature. In this study, a tunable interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogel was prepared from gelatin-hyaluronan dialdehyde (Gel-HDA) Schiff's polymer, and 100% methacrylamide substituted GelMA for biofabrication through extrusion based bioprinting. Temperature sweep rheology measurements show a higher sol-gel transition temperature for IPN (30 °C) compared to gold standard GelMA (27 °C). Furthermore, to determine the tunability of the IPN hydrogel, several IPN samples were prepared by combining different ratios of Gel-HDA and GelMA achieving a compressive modulus ranging from 20.6 ± 2.48 KPa to 116.7 ± 14.80 KPa. Our results showed that the mechanical properties and printability at room temperature could be tuned by adjusting the ratios of GelMA and Gel-HDA. To evaluate cell response to the material, MC3T3-E1 mouse pre-osteoblast cells were embedded in hydrogels and 3D-printed, demonstrating excellent cell viability and proliferation after 10 d of 3Din vitroculture, making the IPN an interesting bioink for the fabrication of 3D constructs for tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally, and delivery of therapeutic cargo (e.g., particles loaded with proteins, drugs, or genes and cells) through direct injection into the myocardium is a promising clinical intervention. However, retention of deliverables to the contracting myocardium is low, with as much as 60-90% of payload being lost within 24 hr. Commercially-available injectable hydrogels, including Matrigel, have been hypothesized to increase payload retention but have not yielded significant improvements in quantified analyses. Here, we assess a recombinant hydrogel composed of chemically modified hyaluronan and elastin-like protein (HELP) as an alternative injectable carrier to increase cargo retention. HELP is crosslinked using dynamic covalent bonds, and tuning the hyaluronan chemistry significantly alters hydrogel mechanical properties including stiffness, stress relaxation rate, and ease of injectability through a needle or catheter. These materials can be injected even after complete crosslinking, extending the time window for surgical delivery. We show that HELP gels significantly improve in vivo retention of microsphere cargo compared to Matrigel, both 1 day and 7 days post-injection directly into the rat myocardium. These data suggest that HELP gels may assist with the clinical translation of therapeutic cargo designed for delivery into the contracting myocardium by preventing acute cargo loss.

Abstract
Hydrogels are ideal materials for mimicking and engineering soft tissue. Hyaluronic acid is a linear polysaccharide native to the human extracellular matrix. In this study, we first develop and characterize two hydrogel compositions built from oxidized HA and gelatin with and without alginate-di-aldehyde (ADA) crosslinked by ionic and enzymatic agents with potential applications in soft tissue engineering and tissue mimicking structures. The stability under incubation conditions was improved by adjusting crosslinking times. Through large-strain mechanical measurements, the hydrogels' properties were compared to human brain tissue and the samples containing ADA revealed similar mechanical properties to the native tissue specimens in cyclic compression-tension. In vitro characterization demonstrated a high viability of encapsulated mouse embryonic fibroblasts and a spreading of the cells in case of ADA-free samples.

Abstract
Konjac glucomannan (KGM) hydrogel has favorable gel-forming abilities, but its insufficient swelling capacity and poor control release characteristics limit its application. Therefore, in this study, oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) was used to improve the properties of KGM hydrogel. The influence of OHA on the structure and properties of KGM hydrogels was evaluated. The results show that the swelling capacity and rheological properties of the composite hydrogels increased with OHA concentration, which might be attributed to the hydrogen bond between the KGM and OHA, resulting in a compact three-dimensional gel network structure. Furthermore, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was efficiently loaded into the KGM/OHA composite hydrogels and liberated in a sustained pattern. The cumulative EGCG release rate of the KGM/OHA hydrogels was enhanced by the increasing addition of OHA. The results show that the release rate of composite hydrogel can be controlled by the content of OHA. These results suggest that OHA has the potential to improve the properties and control release characteristics of KGM hydrogels.

Smart Lipid-Polysaccharide Nanoparticles for Targeted Delivery of Doxorubicin to Breast Cancer Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23042386.

Abstract
In this study, actively-targeted (CD44-receptors) and dual stimuli (pH/redox)-responsive lipid–polymer nanoparticles were proposed as a delivery vehicle of doxorubicin hydrochloride in triple negative breast cancer cell lines. A phosphatidylcholine lipid film was hydrated with a solution of oxidized hyaluronic acid and doxorubicin, chosen as model drug, followed by a crosslinking reaction with cystamine hydrochloride. The obtained spherical nanoparticles (mean diameter of 30 nm) were found to be efficiently internalized in cancer cells by a receptor-mediated endocytosis process, and to modulate the drug release depending on the pH and redox potential of the surrounding medium. In vitro cytotoxicity assays demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the nanoparticles in enhancing the cytotoxic effect of the free anticancer drug, with the IC50 values being reduced by two and three times in MDA-MB-468 and MDA-MB-231, respectively. The combination of self-assembled phospholipid molecules with a polysaccharide counterpart acting as receptor ligand, and stimuli-responsive chemical moieties, was carried out on smart multifunctional nanoparticles able to actively target breast cancer cells and improve the in vitro anticancer activity of doxorubicin.

Abstract
In recent years, biomaterials development and characterization for new applications in regenerative medicine or controlled release represent one of the biggest challenges. Tissue engineering is one of the most intensively studied domain where hydrogels are considered optimum applications in the biomedical field. The delicate nature of hydrogels and their low mechanical strength limit their exploitation in tissue engineering. Hence, developing new, stronger, and more stable hydrogels with increased biocompatibility, is essential. However, both natural and synthetic polymers possess many limitations. Hydrogels based on natural polymers offer particularly high biocompatibility and biodegradability, low immunogenicity, excellent cytocompatibility, variable, and controllable solubility. At the same time, they have poor mechanical properties, high production costs, and low reproducibility. Synthetic polymers come to their aid through superior mechanical strength, high reproducibility, reduced costs, and the ability to regulate their composition to improve processes such as hydrolysis or biodegradation over variable periods. The development of hydrogels based on mixtures of synthetic and natural polymers can lead to the optimization of their properties to obtain ideal scaffolds. Also, incorporating different nanoparticles can improve the hydrogel’s stability and obtain several biological effects. In this regard, essential oils and drug molecules facilitate the desired biological effect or even produce a synergistic effect. This study’s main purpose is to establish the main properties needed to develop sustainable polymeric scaffolds. These scaffolds can be applied in tissue engineering to improve the tissue regeneration process without producing other side effects to the environment.
