Abstract
Developing extracellular matrix-derived hydrogel with a fast self-healing capacity to provide a sustainable moist environment able to accelerate wound healing is highly desired for full-thickness skin wound repair. In this study, a fast self-healing hyaluronic acid hydrogel with a dual dynamic network was constructed through a primary reversible acylhydrazone bond formed between aldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid, 3,3'-dithiobis (propionyl hydrazide) (DTP), and secondary dynamic ionic interactions between κ-carrageenan (KC) and K+. Because of the presence of various dynamic covalent bonds such as the acylhydrazone bond, disulfide bond, and noncovalent bonds including hydrogen bonding and ionic interactions, as well as the notable thermoreversible nature of KC, the resultant hydrogel could be self-healed rapidly within 30 min under physiological temperature with a self-healing efficiency of 100%, which was significantly better than other hyaluronic acid hydrogels, as reported previously. Besides, the hydrogel displayed excellent cytocompatibility. According to this study, the hydrogel was administered into the wounds and achieved a superior performance of promoting full-thickness skin wound healing by increasing granulation tissue formation, deposition of collagen as well as the acceleration of re-epithelialization and neovascularization, compared to commercial products, e.g., gauze and 3 M hydrocolloid. We also anticipate that this strategy of double-dynamic network cross-linking can be adopted to fabricate self-healing materials for multiple applications.

Development of pH-Sensitive hydrogel for advanced wound Healing: Graft copolymerization of locust bean gum with acrylamide and acrylic acid. Int J Pharm 2024:124450. [PMID: 38986968 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124450] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 07/03/2024] [Accepted: 07/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Wounds pose a formidable challenge in healthcare, necessitating the exploration of innovative tissue-healing solutions. Traditional wound dressings exhibit drawbacks, causing tissue damage and impeding natural healing. Using a Microwave (MW)-)-assisted technique, we envisaged a novel hydrogel (Hg) scaffold to address these challenges. This hydrogel scaffold was created by synthesizing a pH-responsive crosslinked material, specifically locust bean gum-grafted-poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) [LBG-g-poly(AAm-co-AAc)], to enable sustained release of c-phycocyanin (C-Pc). Synthesized LBG-g-poly(AAm-co-AAc) was fine-tuned by adjusting various synthetic parameters, including the concentration of monomers, duration of reaction, and MW irradiation intensity, to maximize the yield of crosslinked LBG grafted product and enhance encapsulation efficiency of C-Pc. Following its synthesis, LBG-g-poly(AAm-co-AAc) was thoroughly characterized using advanced techniques, like XRD, TGA, FTIR, NMR, and SEM, to analyze its structural and chemical properties. Moreover, the study examined the in-vitro C-Pc release profile from LBG-g-poly(AAm-co-AAc) based hydrogel (HgCPcLBG). Findings revealed that the maximum release of C-Pc (64.12 ± 2.69 %) was achieved at pH 7.4 over 48 h. Additionally, HgCPcLBG exhibited enhanced antioxidant performance and compatibility with blood. In vivo studies confirmed accelerated wound closure, and ELISA findings revealed reduced inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α) within treated skin tissue, suggesting a positive impact on injury repair. A low-cost and eco-friendly approach for creating LBG-g-poly(AAm-co-AAc) and HgCPcLBG has been developed. This method achieved sustained release of C-Pc, which could be a significant step forward in wound care technology.

Thakur N, Singh B. Designing network structure hydrogels derived from carrageenan- phosphated polymers by covalent and supramolecular interactions for potential biomedical applications. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133527.

Abstract
Recently, various efforts have been made to explore the potential of natural polysaccharides derived from sea weeds to promote sustainable development. Herein, carrageenan (CG), a polysaccharide extracted from red sea algae, was utilized to design network structures as hydrogels, aimed at significant applications in drug delivery (DD) systems. Hydrogels were designed by graft copolymerization reaction of poly(bis [2-methacryloyloxy] ethyl phosphate [poly(BMEP)] and poly(acrylic acid) [poly(AAc)] onto CG in the presence of a crosslinking agent. Hydrogels were developed by covalent linkage by graft copolymerization and supramolecular interactions, existing in the copolymers. Copolymers were characterized by Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) instrumentations. The drug diffusion exhibited a sustained pattern due to polymer-drug interactions. The drug release followed non-Fickian diffusion mechanism and the release profile was most accurately depicted by first order kinetic model. The biocompatible nature of the copolymer was demonstrated from the hemolytic index value signifying minimal adverse interactions with blood component upon exposure. A protein adsorption test was performed using bovine serum albumin (BSA), exhibiting 8.15 ± 0.26 % albumin adsorption. Polymers exhibited mucoadhesive character, evidenced by their requirement of a detachment force measuring 195 ± 4.72 mN for separation from the membrane during interactions with the mucosal surface. The hydrogels exhibited antioxidant properties, evidenced by 2, 2'-Diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay, revealing copolymer capable of scavenging 58.21 ± 2.26 % of free radical. The hydrogel revealed antimicrobial activity against P. aeruginosa and S. aureus bacteria, a property further enhanced in hydrogels with the drug doxycycline. These findings suggest suitability of these hydrogels for biomedical applications, with a significant emphasis on drug delivery.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology was able to generate great attention because of its unique methodology and for its major potential to manufacture detailed and customizable scaffolds in terms of size, shape and pore structure in fields like medicine, pharmaceutics and food. This study aims to fabricate an ink entirely composed of natural polymers, alginate, k-carrageenan and carboxymethyl cellulose (AkCMC). Extrusion-based 3D printing was used to obtain scaffolds based on a crosslinked interpenetrating polymer network from the alginate, k-carrageenan, carboxymethyl cellulose and glutaraldehide formulation using CaCl2, KCl and glutaraldehyde in various concentrations of acetic acid. The stabile bonding of the crosslinked scaffolds was assessed using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) as well as swelling, degradation and mechanical investigations. Moreover, morphology analysis (µCT and SEM) confirmed the 3D printed samples' porous structure. In the AkCMC-GA objects crosslinked with the biggest acetic acid concentration, the values of pores and walls are the highest, at 3.9 × 10-2 µm-1. Additionally, this research proves the encapsulation of vitamin B1 via FT-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The highest encapsulation efficiency of vitamin B1 was registered for the AkCMC-GA samples crosslinked with the maximum acetic acid concentration. The kinetic release of the vitamin was evaluated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Based on the results of these experiments, 3D printed constructs using AkCMC-GA ink could be used for soft tissue engineering applications and also for vitamin B1 encapsulation.

Abstract
Wound healing is a challenging clinical problem and efficient wound management is essential to prevent infection. This is best done by utilizing biocompatible materials in order to complete the healing in a rapid manner, with functional and esthetic outcomes. In this context, the zein protein fulfills the criteria of the ideal wound dressing which include non-toxicity and non-inflammatory stimulation. Zein gels containing rutin were prepared without any chemical refinement or addition of gelling agents in order to obtain a natural formulation characterized by antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to be proposed for the treatment of burns and sores. In vitro scratch assay showed that the proposed gel formulations promoted cell migration and a rapid gap closure within 24 h (~90 %). In addition, the in vivo activities of rutin-loaded zein gel showed a greater therapeutic efficacy in Wistar rats, with a decrease of the wound area of about 90 % at day 10 with respect to the free form of the bioactive and to DuoDERM®. The evaluation of various markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10) confirmed the anti-inflammatory effect of the proposed formulation. The results illustrate the feasibility of exploiting the peculiar features of rutin-loaded zein gels for wound-healing purposes.

Abstract
Chinese yam is a traditional Chinese medicine that has a long history of medicinal and edible usage in China and is widely utilised in food, medicine, animal husbandry, and other industries. Chinese yam polysaccharides (CYPs) are among the main active components of Chinese yam. In recent decades, CYPs have received considerable attention because of their remarkable biological activities, such as immunomodulatory, antitumour, hypoglycaemic, hypolipidaemic, antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and bacteriostatic effects. The structure and chemical alterations of polysaccharides are the main factors affecting their biological activities. CYPs are potential drug carriers owing to their excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility. There is a considerable amount of research on CYPs; however, a systematic summary is lacking. This review summarises the structural characteristics, derivative synthesis, biological activities, and their usage as drug carriers, providing a basis for future research, development, and application of CYPs.

Abstract
Hydrogel dressings have emerged as a vital resource in wound management, offering several advantages over conventional wound dressing materials. Their inherent biocompatibility, ability to replicate the native extracellular matrix, and capacity to provide an ideal environment for cell survival make them particularly valuable. Nevertheless, the mechanical properties of many hydrogel dressings are an area that warrants improvement, as it currently constrains their application range. This limitation is especially evident when skin wounds are addressed in highly active or easily scratched areas. In this study, we present the development of a highly stretchable self-repairing hydrogel by cross-linking poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) through dynamic boron ester bonds, coupled with the hydrogen bonding of carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC) via an efficient one-pot method without adding any catalyst. This innovative PVA/CMC hydrogel exhibited remarkable antibacterial properties achieved through the incorporation of bergamot oil, which was dispersed in a β-cyclodextrin solution. The hydrogel's elongation at the point of rupture reached an impressive 1910%, and it was capable of rapid self-healing in just 3 min upon bonding. Additionally, the hydrogel demonstrated excellent hemostatic properties, effectively mitigating blood loss and exudation. In vivo wound models have shown that PVA/CMC significantly expedites wound healing by reducing bacterial infections, inflammatory responses, and blood loss and by promoting collagen deposition. In summary, this research provides crucial insights into its potential as an advanced wound dressing material, particularly well-suited for addressing wounds in places with frequent activities or easy scratches.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:128020. [PMID: 37956814 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.128020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023]
Abstract
A comprehensive approach is needed to develop multifunctional wound dressing that is simple yet efficient. In this work, Liquidambar orientalis Mill. storax loaded hydroxyethyl chitosan (HECS)-carrageenan (kC) based hydrogel (HECS-kC) and polydopamine coated asymmetric polycaprolactone membrane (PCL-DOP) were used to develop a multifunctional and modular bilayer wound dressing. Asymmetric PCL-DOP membrane was prepared by non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) followed by polydopamine coating and demonstrated an excellent barrier against bacteria while allowing permeability for 5.45 ppm dissolved‑oxygen and 2130 g/m2 water vapor transmission in 24 h in addition to 805 kPa tensile strength. Storax loaded HECS-kC hydrogel, on the other hand, demonstrated a pH-responsive degradation and swelling to provide necessary conditions to facilitate wound healing. The hydrogels showed stretchability above 140 %, mild adhesive strength on sheep skin and PCL-DOP membrane, while the storax incorporation enhanced antibacterial and antioxidant activity. Furthermore, rat full-thickness skin defect model showed that the developed bilayer wound dressing could significantly facilitate wound healing compared to Tegaderm™ and control groups. This study shows that the bilayered wound dressing has the potential to be used as a simple and effective wound care system.

Abstract
Printable hydrogels have attracted significant attention as versatile, tunable, and spatiotemporally controlled biomaterials for tissue engineering (TE) applications. Several chitosan-based systems are reported presenting low or no solubility in aqueous solutions at physiological pH. Herein, a novel neutrally charged, biomimetic, injectable, and cytocompatible dual-crosslinked (DC) hydrogel system based on a double functionalized chitosan (CHT) with methacryloyl and tricine moieties (CHTMA-Tricine), completely processable at physiological pH, with promising three-dimensional (3D) printing potential is presented. Tricine, an amino acid typically used in biomedicine, is capable of establishing supramolecular interactions (H-bonds) and is never explored as a hydrogel component for TE. CHTMA-Tricine hydrogels demonstrate significantly greater toughness (ranging from 656.5 ± 82.2 to 1067.5 ± 121.5 kJ m-3 ) compared to CHTMA hydrogels (ranging from 382.4 ± 44.1 to 680.8 ± 104.5 kJ m-3 ), highlighting the contribution of the supramolecular interactions for the overall reinforced 3D structure provided by tricine moieties. Cytocompatibility studies reveal that MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts cells remain viable for 6 days when encapsulated in CHTMA-Tricine constructs, with semi-quantitative analysis showing ≈80% cell viability. This system's interesting viscoelastic properties allow the fabrication of multiple structures, which couple with a straightforward approach, will open doors for the design of advanced chitosan-based biomaterials through 3D bioprinting for TE.

Abstract
Wound dressing materials such as nanofiber (NF) mats have gained a lot of attention in recent years owing to their wonderful effect on accelerating the healing process and protection of wounds. In this regard, three different types of NF mats were fabricated using pure polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), PVP/κ-carrageenan (KG), and ursolic acid (UA) in the optimal PVP/KG ratio by electrospinning method to apply them as wound dressings. The morphology, chemical structure, degradation, porosity, mechanical properties and antioxidant activity of the produced NFs were investigated. Moreover, cell studies (e.g., cell proliferation, adhesion, and migration) and their antibacterial properties were evaluated. Adding KG and UA reduced the mean diameter size of the PVP-based NFs to ∼98 nm in the optimal sample, with defect-free morphology. The PVP/KG/UA 0.25 % exhibited the highest porosity, hydrophilicity, and degradation rate and a wound closure rate of 60 %, 2.5 times higher than that of the control group. Furthermore, this sample's proliferation and antibacterial ability were significantly higher than the other groups. These findings confirmed that the produced UA-loaded NFs have excellent properties as wound dressing.

Poly(ethylene Glycol) Methyl Ether Methacrylate-Based Injectable Hydrogels: Swelling, Rheological, and In Vitro Biocompatibility Properties with ATDC5 Chondrogenic Lineage. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4635.

Abstract
Here, we present the synthesis of a series of chemical homopolymeric and copolymeric injectable hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMEM) alone or with 2-dimethylamino ethyl methacrylate (DMAEM). The objective of this study was to investigate how the modification of hydrogel components influences the swelling, rheological attributes, and in vitro biocompatibility of the hydrogels. The hydrogels' networks were formed via free radical polymerization, as assured by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR). The swelling of the hydrogels directly correlated with the monomer and the catalyst amounts, in addition to the molecular weight of the monomer. Rheological analysis revealed that most of the synthesized hydrogels had viscoelastic and shear-thinning properties. The storage modulus and the viscosity increased by increasing the monomer and the crosslinker fraction but decreased by increasing the catalyst. MTT analysis showed no potential toxicity of the homopolymeric hydrogels, whereas the copolymeric hydrogels were toxic only at high DMEAM concentrations. The crosslinker polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) induced inflammation in ATDC5 cells, as detected by the significant increase in nitric oxide synthase type II activity. The results suggest a range of highly tunable homopolymeric and copolymeric hydrogels as candidates for cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels based on natural polymers have shown great potential for various tissue engineering applications, such as wound healing. However, poor mechanical properties and weak self-healing ability are still major challenges. In this work, we introduce a host-guest (HG) supramolecular interaction between acrylate-β-cyclodextrin (Ac-β-CD) conjugated on methacrylated kappa-carrageenan (MA-κ-CA) and aromatic residues on gelatin to provide self-healing characteristics. We synthesize an MA-κ-CA to conjugate Ac-β-CD and fabricate dual crosslinked hybrid hydrogels with gelatin to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM). The dual crosslinking occurs on the MA-κ-CA backbone through the addition of KCl and photocrosslinking process, which enhances mechanical strength and stability. The hybrid hydrogels exhibit shear-thinning, self-healing, and injectable behavior, which apply easily under a minimally invasive manner and contribute to shear stress during the injection. In-vitro studies indicate enhanced cell viability. Furthermore, scratch assays are performed to examine cell migration and cell-cell interaction. It is envisioned that the combination of self-healing and injectable dual crosslinked hybrid hydrogels with HG interactions display a promising and functional biomaterial platform for wound healing 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
In this study, novel crosslinked hydrogels based on chitosan (CS) and carrageenan (CRG) loaded with silver and/or copper nanoparticles (Ag/CuNPs) were prepared through a freeze-drying (thawing) process to be applied in biological applications comprising wound dressing. These hydrogels showed porous interconnected structures. The influence of the used nanoparticles (NPs) on the antibacterial properties of the CS/CRG hydrogels was explored. Antimicrobial results revealed that both CS/CRG/CuNPs, CS/CRG/AgNPs, and CS/CRG/Ag-CuNPs exhibited promising antibacterial and antifungal activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, and Candida albicans. Moreover, CS/CRG/AgNPs, CS/CRG/CuNPs, and CS/CRG/Ag-CuNPs hydrogels showed potential antioxidant activity to be 57%, 78%, and 89%, respectively. Furthermore, cytotoxicity results against Vero normal cell line confirmed that all designed hydrogels are safe upon usage. The bimetallic CS/CRG hydrogels showed notably enhanced antibacterial properties among the as-prepared hydrogels allowing them to be a successful material upon being employed in wound dressing applications.

Abstract
Polysaccharides form a major class of natural polymers with diverse applications in biomedical science and tissue engineering. One of the key thrust areas for polysaccharide materials is skin tissue engineering and regeneration, whose market is estimated to reach around 31 billion USD globally by 2030, with a compounded annual growth rate of 10.46 %. Out of this, chronic wound healing and management is a major concern, especially for underdeveloped and developing nations, mainly due to poor access to medical interventions for such societies. Polysaccharide materials have shown promising results and clinical potential in recent decades with regard to chronic wound healing. Their low cost, ease of fabrication, biodegradability, and ability to form hydrogels make them ideal candidates for managing and healing such difficult-to-heal wounds. The present review presents a summary of the recently explored polysaccharide-based transdermal patches for managing and healing chronic wounds. Their efficacy and potency of healing both as active and passive wound dressings are evaluated in several in-vitro and in-vivo models. Finally, their clinical performances and future challenges are summarized to draw a road map towards their role in advanced wound care.

Abstract
Wound healing is widely recognized as a critical issue impacting the healthcare sector in numerous countries. The application of wound dressings multiple times in such instances can result in tissue damage, thereby increasing the complexity of wound healing. With the aim of tackling this necessity, in the present study, we have formulated a hydrogel using natural polysaccharide κ-carrageenan and phycobiliprotein R-phycoerythrin from Pyropia yezoensis. The formulated hydrogel κ-Carrageenan-R-Phycoerythrin (κ-CRG-R-PE) was analyzed for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. The wound healing potential of the κ-CRG-R-PE was evaluated in Hs27 cells by the wound scratch assay method. The hydrogel showed dose-dependent antioxidant activity and significant antimicrobial activity at 100 μg/mL concentration. κ-CRG-R-PE hydrogels promoted more rapid and complete wound closure than κ-Carrageenan (κ-CRG) hydrogel at 24 and 48 h. κ-CRG-R-PE hydrogels also filled the wound within 48 h of incubation, indicating that they positively affect fibroblast migration and wound healing.

Abstract
Biological materials such as cell-derived membrane vesicles have emerged as alternative sources for molecular delivery systems, owing to multicomponent features, the inherent functionalities and signaling networks, and easy-to-carry therapeutic agents with various properties. Herein, red blood cell membrane (RBCM) vesicle-laden methacrylate kappa-carrageenan (KaMA) composite hydrogel is introduced for soft tissue engineering. Results revealed that the characteristics of hybrid hydrogels were significantly modulated by changing the RBCM vesicle content. For instance, the incorporation of 20% (v/v) RBCM significantly enhanced compressive strength from 103 ± 26 kPa to 257 ± 18 kPa and improved toughness under the cyclic loading from 1.0 ± 0.4 kJ m-3to 4.0 ± 0.5 kJ m-3after the 5thcycle. RBCM vesicles were also used for the encapsulation of curcumin (CUR) as a hydrophobic drug molecule. Results showed a controlled release of CUR over three days of immersion in PBS solution. The RBCM vesicles laden KaMA hydrogels also supportedin vitrofibroblast cell growth and proliferation. In summary, this research sheds light on KaMA/RBCM hydrogels, that could reveal fine-tuned properties and hydrophobic drug release in a controlled manner.

Abstract
Polysaccharides κ-carrageenan (κ-Car) have become a predominant source in developing bioactive materials. We aimed to develop biopolymer composite materials of κ-Car with coriander essential oil (CEO) (κ-Car-CEO) films for fibroblast-associated wound healing. Initially, we loaded the CEO in to κ-Car and CEO through homogenization and ultrasonication to fabricate composite film bioactive materials. After performing morphological and chemical characterizations, we validated the developed material functionalities in both in vitro and in vivo models. The chemical and morphological analysis with physical structure, swelling ratio, encapsulation efficiency, CEO release, and water barrier properties of films examined and showed the structural interaction of κ-Car and CEO-loaded into the polymer network. Furthermore, the bioactive applications of CEO release showed initial burst release followed by controlled release from the κ-Car composite film with fibroblast (L929) cell adhesive capabilities and mechanosensing. Our results proved that the CEO-loaded into the κ-Car film impacts cell adhesion, F-actin organization, and collagen synthesis, followed by in vitro mechanosensing activation, further promoting wound healing in vivo. Our innovative perspectives of active polysaccharide (κ-Car)-based CEO functional film materials could potentially accomplish regenerative medicine.

Abstract
The application of biodegradable hydrogels in medical field has drawn great attention because their networked structure provided ideal spaces for drug loading and cell growth. In this research, the boronic acid was coupled onto carboxyethyl cellulose (CMC) to synthesize boronic acid grafted CMC (CMC-BA) conveniently and self-healing hydrogel was fabricated with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) crosslinking through dynamic boronic ester bond. The CMC-BA/PVA hydrogel showed good biocompatibility and could be degraded by cellulase and in vivo. The hydrogel formed fast fit for localized injection to cover the irregular wounds and localize the antitumor drugs to the tumor site. The in vivo wound repairing experiment revealed the hydrogel could form airtight adhesion to the wound site to reduce blood loss and accelerate the wound repairing rate. The hydrogel as a drug release carrier also reduced the acute in vivo toxicity of DOX with antitumor performance well preserved through a controlled release profile. Based on the above advantages, the CMC-based hydrogel with boronic ester connection should have great potential in biomedical areas with profitable future.

Abstract
The innovation of novel chemosensor probes for the recognition of trace volatile organic compounds is critical due to their hazardous effect on the environment and human health. A nitro-group integrated quinoxaline probe with a profound discriminative fluorescence 'turn-on' response to mesitylene was fabricated into guar gum and i-carrageenan, two biopolymer-based hydrogel matrices, to develop compact, portable fluorogenic hydrogel sensors and assess their fluorescence properties. A comparative characterization-based analysis of native, probe-associated, and probe-analyte-associated hydrogels, (comprising of FT-IR, XRD, TGA) was investigated to ascertain the overall compatibility of the hydrogel-based sensors for use as a smart rapid detection tool. Dynamic rheological measurements also validated the mechanical stability and robustness of the developed hydrogel matrices. Fluorescence spectroscopic investigations yielded promising results of 0.15 ppm limit of detection (LOD) in guar gum and 0.29 ppm LOD in i-carrageenan hydrogels respectively. FESEM and Fluorescence microscopy studies represented the morphological variations of the hydrogel sensors on interaction with mesitylene. The practical feasibility of the chemosensor in hydrogel form for mesitylene detection in the vapor phase was also explored. Probe-embedded hydrogels with injectable property was shown, depicting its use as security ink for information encryption functions. This approach of incorporating chemosensors into biobased hydrogel networks has the potential to broaden its opportunities in the field of chemical, biomedical, and environmental sensing sectors.

Abstract
Injectable and biocompatible novel hybrid hydrogels based on physically crosslinked natural biopolymers and green graphene for potential use in tissue engineering are reported. Kappa and iota carrageenan, locust bean gum and gelatin are used as biopolymeric matrix. The effect of green graphene content on the swelling behavior, mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the hybrid hydrogels is investigated. The hybrid hydrogels present a porous network with three-dimensionally interconnected microstructures, with lower pore size than that of the hydrogel without graphene. The addition of graphene into the biopolymeric network improves the stability and the mechanical properties of the hydrogels in phosphate buffer saline solution at 37 °C without noticeable change in the injectability. The mechanical properties of the hybrid hydrogels were enhanced by varying the dosage of graphene between 0.025 and 0.075 w/v%. In this range, the hybrid hydrogels preserve their integrity during mechanical test and recover the initial shape after removing the applied stress. Meanwhile, hybrid hydrogels with graphene content of up to 0.05 w/v% exhibit good biocompatibility for 3T3-L1 fibroblasts; the cells proliferate inside the gel structure and show higher spreading after 48 h. These injectable hybrid hydrogels with graphene have promising future as materials for tissue repair.

Abstract
Biopolymer-based thermoresponsive injectable hydrogels with multifunctional tunable characteristics containing anti-oxidative, biocompatibility, anti-infection, tissue regeneration, and/or anti-bacterial are of abundant interest to proficiently stimulate diabetic wound regeneration and are considered as a potential candidate for diversified biomedical application but the development of such hydrogels remains a challenge. In this study, the Chitosan-CMC-g-PF127 injectable hydrogels are developed using solvent casting. The Curcumin (Cur) Chitosan-CMC-g-PF127 injectable hydrogels possess viscoelastic behavior, good swelling properties, and a controlled release profile. The degree of substitution (% DS), thermal stability, morphological behavior, and crystalline characteristics of the developed injectable hydrogels is confirmed using nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and x-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), respectively. The controlled release of cur-micelles from the hydrogel is evaluated by drug release studies and pharmacokinetic profile (PK) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Furthermore, compared to cur micelles the Cur-laden injectable hydrogel shows a significant increase in half-life (t1/2) up to 5.92 ± 0.7 h, mean residence time (MRT) was 15.75 ± 0.76 h, and area under the first moment curve (AUMC) is 3195.62 ± 547.99 μg/mL*(h)2 which reveals the controlled release behavior. Cytocompatibility analysis of Chitosan-CMC-g-PF127 hydrogels using 3T3-L1 fibroblasts cells and in vivo toxicity by subcutaneous injection followed by histological examination confirmed good biocompatibility of Cur-micelles loaded hydrogels. The histological results revealed the promising tissue regenerative ability and shows enhancement of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and collagen deposition, which stimulates the epidermal junction. Interestingly, the Chitosan-CMC-g-PF127 injectable hydrogels ladened Cur exhibited a swift wound repair potential by up-surging the cell migration and proliferation at the site of injury and providing a sustained drug delivery platform for hydrophobic moieties.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2023; 10:1075166. [PMID: 36686232 PMCID: PMC9853065 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.1075166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 12/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
For the purpose of developing a 3D vehicle for the delivery of hepatocytes in cell therapy, the improved system of crosslinker and new gelling agent combinations consisting of glycerophosphate and sodium hydrogen carbonate have been employed to produce injectable, thermoresponsive hydrogels based on chitosan and silk fibroin. Adjusting the polymer-to-gelling agent ratio and utilizing a chemical crosslinker developed hydrogel scaffolds with optimal gelling time and pH. Applying sodium hydrogen carbonate neutralizes chitosan while keeping its thermoresponsive characteristics and decreases glycerophosphate from 60% to 30%. Genipin boosts the mechanical properties of hydrogel without affecting the gel time. Due to their stable microstructure and lower amine availability, genipin-containing materials have a low swelling ratio, around six compared to eight for those without genipin. Hydrogels that are crosslinked degrade about half as fast as those that are not. The slowerr degradation of Silk fibroin compared to chitosan makes it an efficient degradation inhibitor in silk-containing formulations. All of the optimized samples showed less than 5% hemolytic activity, indicating that they lacked hemolytic characteristics. The acceptable cell viability in crosslinked hydrogels ranges from 72% to 91% due to the decreasing total salt concentration, which protects cells from hyperosmolality. The pH of hydrogels and their interstitial pores kept most encapsulated cells alive and functioning for 24 h. Urea levels are higher in the encapsulation condition compared to HepG2 cultivated alone, and this may be due to cell-matrix interactions that boost liver-specific activity. Urea synthesis in genipin crosslinked hydrogels increased dramatically from day 1 (about 4 mg dl-1) to day 3 (approximately 6 mg dl-1), suggesting the enormous potential of these hydrogels for cell milieu preparation. All mentioned findings represent that the optimized system may be a promising candidate for liver regeneration.

Abstract
Locust bean gum (LBG), a vegetable galactomannan extracted from carob tree seeds, is extensively used in the food industry as a thickening agent (E410). Its molecular conformation in aqueous solutions determines its solubility and rheological performance. LBG is an interesting polysaccharide also because of its synergistic behavior with other biopolymers (xanthan gum, carrageenan, etc.). In addition, this hydrocolloid is easily modified by derivatization or crosslinking. These LBG-related products, besides their applications in the food industry, can be used as encapsulation and drug delivery devices, packaging materials, batteries, and catalyst supports, among other biopharmaceutical and industrial uses. As the new derivatized or crosslinked polymers based on LBG are mainly biodegradable and non-toxic, the use of this polysaccharide (by itself or combined with other biopolymers) will contribute to generating greener products, considering the origin of raw materials used, the modification procedures selected and the final destination of the products.

Abstract
In this study, biocomposite hydrogel films made from flaxseed gum (FSG)/kappa carrageenan (CGN) were fabricated, using potassium chloride as a crosslinker and glycerol as a plasticizer. The composite films were loaded with deferoxamine (DFX), an iron chelator that promotes neovascularization and angiogenesis for the healing of wounds. The properties of the biocomposite hydrogel films, including swelling, solubility, water vapor transmission rate, tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young’s modulus studies, were tested. The films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In addition, drug release studies in PBS at pH 7.2 were investigated. In vivo analysis was performed by assessing the wound contraction in a full-thickness excisional wound rat model. Hematoxylin & eosin (H & E) and Masson’s trichome staining were performed to evaluate the effect of the films on wound healing progress. The visual and micro-morphological analysis revealed the homogenous structure of the films; however, the elongation at break property decreased within the crosslinked film but increased for the drug-loaded film. The FTIR analysis confirmed the crosslinking due to potassium chloride. A superior resistance towards thermal degradation was confirmed by TGA for the crosslinked and drug-loaded films. Drug release from the optimum film was sustained for up to 24 h. In vivo testing demonstrated 100% wound contraction for the drug-loaded film group compared to 72% for the pure drug solution group. In light of the obtained results, the higher potential of the optimized biocomposite hydrogel film for wound healing applications was corroborated.

Abstract
Background Over the past years, polysaccharide-based scaffolds have emerged as the most promising material for tissue engineering. In the present study, carrageenan, an injectable scaffold has been used owing to its advantage and superior property. Cissus quadrangularis, a natural agent was incorporated into the carrageenan scaffold. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the antioxidant activity and biocompatibility of this novel material.
Methods The present in vitro study comprised of four study groups each constituting a sample of 15 with a total sample size of sixty (n = 60). The carrageenan hydrogel devoid of Cissus quadrangularis acted as the control group (Group-I). Based on the concentration of aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis (10% w/v, 20% w/v and 30% w/v) in carrageenan hydrogel, respective study groups namely II, III and IV were considered. Antioxidant activity was assessed using a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging assay, whereas the biocompatibility test was performed using a brine shrimp lethality assay. The microstructure and surface morphology of the hydrogel samples containing different concentrations of Cissus quadrangularis aqueous extract was investigated using SEM. One-way ANOVA with the post hoc tukey test was performed using SPSS software v22.
Results A significant difference (P < 0.05) in the antioxidant activity was observed among the study groups. Group III reported the highest activity, whereas the control group showed the least antioxidant activity. Additionally, a significant (P < 0.01) drop in the antioxidant activity was observed in group IV when compared with group III. While assessing the biocompatibility, a significant (P < 0.001) dose-dependent increase in biocompatibility was observed with the increasing concentration of aqueous extract of Cissus quadrangularis. SEM analysis in group III showed even distribution throughout the hydrogel although the particles are close and densely arranged. Reduced antioxidant activity in group IV was probably due to clumping of the particles, thus reducing the active surface area. Conclusion Keeping the limitations of in vitro study, it can be assumed that a carrageenan based injectable hydrogel scaffold incorporated with 20% w/v Cissus quadrangularis can provide a favourable micro-environment as it is biocompatible and possess better antioxidant property.

Abstract
Hydrogels has gained tremendous interest as a controlled release drug delivery. However, currently it is a big challenge to attain high drug-loading as well as stable and sustained release of hydrophobic drugs. The poor aqueous solubility and low bioavailability of many drugs have driven the need for research in new formulations. This manuscript hypothesized that incorporation of nanocrystals of hydrophobic drug, such as silymarin into thermoreversible hydrogel could be a solution to these problems. Herein, we prepared nanocrystals of silymarin by antisolvent precipitation technique and characterized for morphology, particle size, polydispersity index (PDI) and zeta potential. Moreover, physical cross-linking of hydrogel formulations based on chondroitin sulphate (CS), kappa-Carrageenan (κ-Cr) and Pluronic® F127 was confirmed by Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The hydrogel gelation time and temperature of optimized hydrogel was 14 ± 3.2 s and 34 ± 0.6 °C, respectively. The release data revealed controlled release of silymarin up to 48 h and in-vivo pharmacokinetic profiling was done in rabbits and further analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It is believed that the nanocrystals loaded thermoreversible injectable hydrogel system fabricated in this study provides high drug loading as well as controlled and stable release of hydrophobic drug for extended period.

Abstract
High-strength hydrogels formed in situ through a convenient gel transition process are highly desirable for emergency treatment due to their ability to quickly respond to accidents. However, current in-situ formed hydrogels require a laborious precursor preparation process or lack sufficient mechanical strength. Herein, we reported a series of microgels that were capable of convenient in-situ transition to high-strength hydrogels from their easily portable form, thereby facilitating emergency treatment. Three kinds of microgels were derived from two types of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds; OH⋯OC, NH⋯OC) crosslinked preformed hydrogels, and all exhibited excellent stability when stored at room temperature. After mixing with water, all these microgels could undergo a quick hydration process and then transform into high-strength hydrogels in situ through H-bonds. Specifically, stronger H-bond crosslinked microgels could build hydrogels with higher mechanical strength, albeit at the cost of longer hydration and operation time. Nevertheless, the whole operation process could be finished within several minutes, and the resultant hydrogels could exhibit maximally megapascal-level compressive strength and tens of kilopascal storage modulus. In the comparison of emergency application performance with commercial chitosan hemostatic powder (CHP), we found that the microgels could stop accidental bleeding almost immediately, and the whole process from taking out the stored microgels to hemostasis could be completed within 15 s, which was superior to CHP. Overall, the results indicated that the in-situ formed microgel-based hydrogels with convenient gel-transition ability and high strength showed great potential in emergency treatments.

Abstract
Present study aims at developing antimicrobial cotton gauze by dip coating of sodium alginate (SA), glycerol (Gly) and tannic acid (TA) blend. SA blends were prepared with varying concentration of glycerol in the range of 10-40 %. Blended films were fabricated and characterized by Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), tensile studies, and contact angle analysis. The mechanical behavior of films indicated significant decrease in the tensile strength and modulus with the increase in the glycerol content due to the plasticization effect. The hydrophilicity of the blend films increased with increase in the glycerol content. TA was added to the blend as an antimicrobial agent. These blends were coated on the cotton gauze by dip coating method and their characterizations were carried out by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which revealed a smooth coating of SA:Gly:TA blend on cotton gauze. Antimicrobial analysis of TA coated gauzes was carried out which showed >95 % viable colony reduction against E. coli and S. aureus. Cytocompatibility studies indicated excellent cell-compatible activity. These results implicated that such coated gauzes are promising candidate that hold the great potential to be utilized as infection-resistant material in the health care sector.

Abstract
Hydrogels, as interconnected networks (polymer mesh; physically, chemically, or dynamic crosslinked networks) incorporating a high amount of water, present structural characteristics similar to soft natural tissue. They enable the diffusion of different molecules (ions, drugs, and grow factors) and have the ability to take over the action of external factors. Their nature provides a wide variety of raw materials and inspiration for functional soft matter obtained by complex mechanisms and hierarchical self-assembly. Over the last decade, many studies focused on developing innovative and high-performance materials, with new or improved functions, by mimicking biological structures at different length scales. Hydrogels with natural or synthetic origin can be engineered as bulk materials, micro- or nanoparticles, patches, membranes, supramolecular pathways, bio-inks, etc. The specific features of hydrogels make them suitable for a wide variety of applications, including tissue engineering scaffolds (repair/regeneration), wound healing, drug delivery carriers, bio-inks, soft robotics, sensors, actuators, catalysis, food safety, and hygiene products. This review is focused on recent advances in the field of bioinspired hydrogels that can serve as platforms for life-science applications. A brief outlook on the actual trends and future directions is also presented.

Abstract
Polysaccharides have been widely employed to fabricate hydrogels owing to their intrinsic properties including biocompatibility, biodegradability, sustainability, and easy modification. However, a considerable amount of polysaccharide-based hydrogels are prepared by chemical crosslinking method using organic solvents or toxic crosslinkers. The presence of reaction by-products and residual toxic substances in the obtained materials cause a potential secondary pollution risk and thus severely limited their practical applications. In contrast, polysaccharide-based physical hydrogels are preferred over chemically derived hydrogels and can be used to address existing drawbacks of chemical hydrogels. The polysaccharide chains of such hydrogel are typically crosslinked by dynamic non-covalent bonds, and the co-existence of multiple physical interactions stabilize the hydrogel network. This review focuses on providing a detailed outlook for the design strategies and formation mechanisms of polysaccharide-based physical hydrogels as well as their specific applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, wound healing, and wastewater treatment. The main preparation principles, future challenges, and potential improvements are also outlined. The authors hope that this review could provide valuable information for the rational fabrication of polysaccharide-based physical hydrogel. The specific research works listed in the review will provide a systematic and solid research basis for the reliable development of polysaccharide-based physical hydrogel.

Abstract
Biocompatible, nontoxic, and biodegradable polysaccharides are considered as a promising base for bio-inspired materials, applicable as scaffolds in regenerative medicine, coatings in drug delivery systems, etc. The tunable macroscopic properties of gels should meet case-dependent requirements. The admixture of proteins to polysaccharides and their coupling in more sophisticated structures opens an avenue for gel property tuning via physical cross-linking of components and the modification of gel network structure. In this review recent success in the conformational studies of binary protein–polysaccharide gels is summarized with the main focus upon carrageenans. Future perspectives and challenges in rational design of novel polysaccharide-based materials are outlined.

Abstract
This study explored the development of cross-linked gels to potentially provide a physical barrier to vaginal sperm transport for contraception. Two types of gels were formulated, a physically cross-linked iota-carrageenan (Ci) phenylboronic acid functionalized hydroxylpropylmethyacrylate copolymer (PBA)-based (Ci-PBA) gel, designed to block vaginal sperm transport. The second gel was pH-shifting cross-linked Ci-polyvinyl alcohol-boric acid (Ci-PVA-BA) gel, designed to modulate its properties in forming a viscoelastic, weakly cross-linked transient network (due to Ci gelling properties) on vaginal application (at acidic pH of ~3.5-4.5) to a more elastic, densely cross-linked (due to borate-diol cross-linking) gel network at basic pH of 7-8 of seminal fluid, thereby acting as a physical barrier to motile sperm. The gels were characterized for dynamic rheology, physicochemical properties, and impact on sperm functionality (motility, viability, penetration). The rheology data confirmed that the Ci-PBA gel was formed by ionic interactions whereas Ci-PVA-BA gel was chemically cross-linked and became more elastic at basic pH. Based on the screening data, lead gels were selected for in vitro sperm functionality testing. The in vitro results confirmed that the Ci-PBA and Ci-PVA-BA gels created a barrier at the sperm-gel interface, providing sperm blocking properties. For preclinical proof-of-concept, the Ci-PBA gels were applied vaginally and tested for contraceptive efficacy in rabbits, demonstrating only partial efficacy (40-60%). Overall, the in vitro and in vivo results support the development and further optimization of cross-linked gels using commercially available materials as vaginal contraceptives.

Abstract
The present study is aimed at fabricating thyme oil loaded hydrogel membranes composed of κ-carrageenan (CG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG), which can provide moist environment and prevent infections for rapid wound healing. Membranes were prepared with different amounts of PEG via solvent casting technique under ambient conditions. Physicochemical properties of CG-PEG membranes as a function of the PEG content were investigated. The surface morphology of membranes displayed smoother surfaces with increasing PEG content up to 40%. In addition, the interaction of PEG with CG polymer chains was evaluated in terms of Free and bound PEG fraction within the membrane matrix. Furthermore, thyme oil (TO) was added to enhance the antibacterial properties of CG-PEG membranes. These membranes showed >95% antimicrobial activity against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria depending on the TO content. Suggesting the great potential of these membranes as a strong candidate for providing an effective antimicrobial nature in human healthcare.

Abstract
The construction of biomimetic vasculatures within the artificial tissue models or organs is highly required for conveying nutrients, oxygen, and waste products, for improving the survival of engineered tissues in vitro. In recent times, the remarkable progress in utilizing hydrogels and understanding vascular biology have enabled the creation of three-dimensional (3D) tissues and organs composed of highly complex vascular systems. In this review, we give an emphasis on the utilization of hydrogels and their advantages in the vascularization of tissues. Initially, the significance of vascular elements and the regeneration mechanisms of vascularization, including angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, are briefly introduced. Further, we highlight the importance and advantages of hydrogels as artificial microenvironments in fabricating vascularized tissues or organs, in terms of tunable physical properties, high similarity in physiological environments, and alternative shaping mechanisms, among others. Furthermore, we discuss the utilization of such hydrogels-based vascularized tissues in various applications, including tissue regeneration, drug screening, and organ-on-chips. Finally, we put forward the key challenges, including multifunctionalities of hydrogels, selection of suitable cell phenotype, sophisticated engineering techniques, and clinical translation behind the development of the tissues with complex vasculatures towards their future development.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising approach to repair and regenerate damaged or lost tissues or organs. In dental aspect, reconstruction of the resorbed alveolar bone after tooth extraction plays an important role in the success of dental substitution, especially in dental implant treatment. The hydroxyapatite (HA)-incorporated fibroin-alginate composite injectable hydrogel was fabricated to be used as scaffold for bone regeneration. HA was synthesized from eggshell biowaste. Fibroin was extracted from Bombyx mori cocoon. The synthesized HA, fibroin and alginate hydrogel were characterized. HA-incorporated fibroin-alginate hydrogel had decreased pore size and porosity compared with pure alginate hydrogel. Thermal analysis showed that hydrogel had a degradation peak of approximately 250 °C. Hydrogel could absorb water, with a swelling ratio of around 300% at 24 h. Hydrogel was degraded as time passed and almost completely degraded at day 7. Its compressive Young's modulus was approximately 0.04 ± 0.02 N/mm2 to 0.10 ± 0.02 N/mm2. Primary cytotoxicity test indicated non-toxic potential of the fabricated hydrogel. Increased ALP activity was observed in MC3T3-E1 cultured in HA-incorporated fibroin-alginate hydrogel. Results suggested the potential use of injectable HA fibroin-alginate hydrogel as dental scaffolding material. Further studies including in vivo examinations are needed prior to its clinical application.

Wound dressings have become a crucial treatment for wound healing due to their convenience, low cost, and prolonged wound management. As cutting-edge biomaterials, marine polysaccharides are divided from most marine organisms. It possesses various bioactivities, which allowing them to be processed into various forms of wound dressings. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the application of marine polysaccharides in wound dressings is particularly important for the studies of wound therapy. In this review, we first introduce the wound healing process and describe the characteristics of modern commonly used dressings. Then, the properties of various marine polysaccharides and their application in wound dressing development are outlined. Finally, strategies for developing and enhancing marine polysaccharide wound dressings are described, and an outlook of these dressings is given. The diverse bioactivities of marine polysaccharides including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, haemostatic properties, etc., providing excellent wound management and accelerate wound healing. Meanwhile, these biomaterials have higher biocompatibility and biodegradability compared to synthetic ones. On the other hand, marine polysaccharides can be combined with copolymers and active substances to prepare various forms of dressings. Among them, emerging types of dressings such as nanofibers, smart hydrogels and injectable hydrogels are at the research frontier of their development. Therefore, marine polysaccharides are essential materials in wound dressings fabrication and have a promising future.
