Abstract
Cell-cultured meat, which is obtained by adsorbing cells on the three-dimensional scaffold, is considered a potential solution to animal welfare issues. Edible and safe cell-cultured meat scaffolds are a key part of its research. Soy protein isolate (SPI) hydrogel has a three-dimensional network structure and has been studied for L929 cell culture because of its non-toxicity and biocompatibility. However, the toughness and mechanical properties of SPI hydrogel are not enough to bear the requirements of cell cultivation. In this paper, sodium alginate (SA) was added to SPI hydrogel, and the interpenetrating network (IPN) technology was used to construct SPI-SA IPN hydrogel by transglutaminase and Ca2+ double crosslinking method. SPI-SA IPN hydrogel has excellent mechanical properties, structural stability and biodegradable performance than SPI hydrogel. The bio-compatibility and degradability of L929 and C2C12 cells on SPI-SA IPN hydrogel were studied by cytotoxicity, trypan blue and living/dead cell staining, and the growth law of the hydrogel as a scaffold for cell culture was analyzed. The results showed that L929/C2C12 cells can proliferate normally and adhere in hydrogel and have good bio-compatibility. L929 cells with size about 20-50 µm have better adhesion and growth abilities on SPI-SA IPN hydrogel than C2C12 cells with 100-300 µm. Therefore, the SPI-SA IPN hydrogel is non-toxic and supports the growth of cells in the pores of the material. This study provides a reference for the application of SPI-SA IPN hydrogels in vitro cell growth.

Abstract
As novel wound dressings, cryogels with rapid hemostatic property and good sterilization effect are urgently desirable for wound healing. To reduce the use of antibiotics, antibacterial photothermal therapy with broad-spectrum bactericidal capacity and non-obvious bacterial resistance has been widely researched. However, photothermal agents usually suffer from poor hemostatic ability. In this research, sodium alginate (SA) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were non-covalently cross-linked in suit by ferric ions to obtain SA/EGCG/Fe (SEF) cryogels after lyophilization as an antibacterial wound dressing. Next, its photothermal performance was intensively assessed. Moreover, its hemostasis and bactericidal effect were evaluated. First, it displayed extraordinary photothermal ability owing to the formation of Fe3+/EGCG-based metal phenolic networks (MPNs) inside the SEF cryogel. Furthermore, in vitro and in vivo assays illustrated that it exhibits rapid hemostatic capacity owing to its high porosity and MPN-mediated cell adhesion capacity. In conclusion, the SEF cryogel manifests satisfactory hemostatic and bactericidal properties. Therefore, it is a promising wound-dressing candidate for clinical applications.

Abstract
Cell microencapsulation is a more widely accepted area of biological encapsulation. In most cases, it involves fixing cells in polymer scaffolds or semi-permeable hydrogel capsules, providing the environment for protecting cells, allowing the exchange of nutrients and oxygen, and protecting cells against the attack of the host immune system by preventing the entry of antibodies and cytotoxic immune cells. Hydrogel encapsulation provides a three-dimensional (3D) environment similar to that experienced in vivo, so it can maintain normal cellular functions to produce tissues similar to those in vivo. Embedded cells can be genetically modified to release specific therapeutic products directly at the target site, thereby eliminating the side effects of systemic treatments. Cellular microcarriers need to meet many extremely high standards regarding their biocompatibility, cytocompatibility, immunoseparation capacity, transport, mechanical, and chemical properties. In this article, we discuss the biopolymer gels used in tissue engineering applications and the brief introduction of cell encapsulation for therapeutic protein production. Also, we review polymer biomaterials and methods for preparing cell microcarriers for biomedical applications. At the same time, in order to improve the application performance of cell microcarriers in vivo, we also summarize the main limitations and improvement strategies of cell encapsulation. Finally, the main applications of polymer cell microcarriers in regenerative medicine are summarized.

Abstract
Crosslinking of proteins has gained immense significance in the fabrication of biomaterials for various health care applications. Various novel chemical-based strategies are being continuously developed for intra-/inter-molecular crosslinking of proteins to create a network/matrix with desired mechanical/functional properties without imparting toxicity to the host system. Many materials that are used in biomedical and food packaging industries are prepared by chemical means of crosslinking the proteins, besides the physical or enzymatic means of crosslinking. Such chemical methods utilize the chemical compounds or crosslinkers available from natural sources or synthetically generated with the ability to form covalent/non-covalent bonds with proteins. Such linkages are possible with chemicals like carbodiimides/epoxides, while photo-induced novel chemical crosslinkers are also available. In this review, we have discussed different protein crosslinking strategies under chemical methods, along with the corresponding crosslinking reactions/conditions, material properties and significant applications.

Abstract
This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins as functional stimuli-responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with controlled stiffness. Different physical or chemical triggers can be used to structurally reconfigure the crosslinking units and control the stiffness of the hydrogels. The integration of stimuli-responsive supramolecular complexes and stimuli-responsive biomolecular units as crosslinkers leads to hybrid hydrogels undergoing reversible triggered transitions across different stiffness states. Different applications of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogels are discussed. The assembly of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogel films on surfaces and their applications are discussed. The coating of drug-loaded nanoparticles with stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug release is also presented.

Abstract
Recently, there has been growing interest in harnessing genetically engineered polymers to develop responsive biomaterials, such as hydrogels. Unlike their synthetic counterparts, genetically engineered polymers are produced without the use of toxic reagents and can easily be programmed to incorporate desirable hydrogel properties, including bioactivity, biodegradability, and monodispersity. Herein, we report the development of a copolymeric hydrogel that is based on the calcium-dependent protein, calmodulin (CaM). For our system, CaM and M13, a CaM-binding peptide, were incorporated into genetically engineered polymers with intervening linkers containing cleavable sequences. Spectroscopic and multiple-particle tracking (MPT) studies demonstrate that these polymers self-assemble through calcium-stabilized, noncovalent crosslinking to form a soft viscoelastic material. MPT further revealed that gelation is concentration-dependent. Collagenase digests show that the protein polymers are selectively degraded through specific cleavage. The modularity and stimuli-responsiveness of this system suggest its potential as a flexible scaffold for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The tailoring of proteins for specific applications by evolutionary methods is a highly active area of research. Rational design and directed evolution are the two main strategies to reengineer proteins or create chimeric structures. Rational engineering is often limited by insufficient knowledge about proteins' structure-function relationships; directed evolution overcomes this restriction but poses challenges in the screening of candidates. A combination of these protein engineering approaches will allow us to create protein variants with a wide range of desired properties. Herein, we focus on the application of these approaches towards the generation of protein biomaterials that are known for biodegradability, biocompatibility and biofunctionality, from combinations of natural, synthetic, or engineered proteins and protein domains. Potential applications depend on the enhancement of biofunctional, mechanical, or other desired properties. Examples include scaffolds for tissue engineering, thermostable enzymes for industrial biocatalysis, and other therapeutic applications.
