Abstract
Cerebral aneurysms are a source of neurological morbidity and mortality, most often as a result of rupture. The most common approach for treating aneurysms involves endovascular embolization using nonbiodegradable medical devices, such as platinum coils. However, the need for retreatment due to the recanalization of coil-treated aneurysms highlights the importance of exploring alternative solutions. In this study, we propose an injectable extracellular matrix-derived embolic formed in situ by Michael addition of gelatin-thiol (Gel-SH) and hyaluronic acid vinyl sulfone (HA-VS) that may be delivered with a therapeutic agent (here, RADA-SP) to fill and remodel aneurysmal tissue without leaving behind permanent foreign bodies. The injectable embolic material demonstrated rapid gelation under physiological conditions, forming a highly porous structure and allowing for cellular infiltration. The injectable embolic exhibited thrombogenic behavior in vitro that was comparable to that of alginate injectables. Furthermore, in vivo studies in a murine carotid aneurysm model demonstrated the successful embolization of a saccular aneurysm and extensive cellular infiltration both with and without RADA-SP at 3 weeks, with some evidence of increased vascular or fibrosis markers with RADA-SP incorporation. The results indicate that the developed embolic has inherent potential for acutely filling cerebrovascular aneurysms and encouraging the cellular infiltration that would be necessary for stable, chronic remodeling.

Abstract
Excessive blood loss could lead to pathological conditions such as tissue necrosis, organ failure, and death. The limitations of recently developed hemostatic approaches, such as their low mechanical strength, inadequate wet tissue adhesion, and weak hemostatic activity, pose challenges for their application in controlling visceral bleeding. In this study, a novel hydrogel (CT) made of collagen and tannic acid (TA) was proposed. By altering the proportions between the two materials, the mechanical properties, adhesion, and coagulation ability were evaluated. Compared to commercial hydrogels, this hydrogel has shown reduced blood loss and shorter hemostatic time in rat hepatic and cardiac bleeding models. This was explained by the hydrogel's natural hemostatic properties and the significant benefits of wound closure in a moist environment. Better biodegradability was achieved through the non-covalent connection between tannic acid and collagen, allowing for hemostasis without hindering subsequent tissue repair. Therefore, this hydrogel is a new method for visceral hemostasis that offers significant advantages in treating acute wounds and controlling major bleeding. And the production method is simple and efficient, which facilitates its translation to clinical applications.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex physiological process involving hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling. Therefore, there is an urgent need for suitable wound dressings for effective and systematical wound management. Polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives offer unique advantages and are ideal candidates. However, comprehensive reviews on polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives for wound healing are still lacking. In this review, the physiological mechanisms and evaluation parameters of wound healing were first described in detail. Then, the working principles of hydrogel bio-adhesives were summarized. Recent advances made in multifunctional polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives involving gelatin, silk fibroin, fibrin, keratin, poly-γ-glutamic acid, ɛ-poly-lysine, serum albumin, and elastin with pro-healing activities in wound healing and tissue repair were reviewed. Finally, the current status, challenges, developments, and future trends of polypeptide-based hydrogel bio-adhesives were discussed, hoping that further developments would be stimulated to meet the growing needs of their clinical applications.

Abstract
Context Sanchi promotes wound healing by repressing fibroblast proliferation. Objective This study examined the effect of Sanchi on keratinocytes (KCs) and microvascular endothelial cells (MECs) and rats with skin injury. Materials & methods Hydrogels containing different concentrations of Sanchi extract were prepared to observe wound closure over 10 days. SD rats were divided into the control, Hydrogel, 5% Hydrogel, 10% Hydrogel, 10% Hydrogel + Ad5-NC, and 10% Hydrogel + Ad5-IL1B groups. KCs and MECs were induced with H2O2 for 24 h. Cell viability, apoptosis, and the levels of inflammation- and oxidative stress-related factors were examined. The effect of IL1B on wound healing was also evaluated. Results Compared to the Control group (83% ± 7.4%) or Hydrogel without Sanchi extract (84% ± 8.5%), Hydrogel with 5% (95% closure ± 4.0%) or 10% Sanchi extract (98% ± 1.7%) accelerated wound healing in rats and attenuated inflammation and oxidative stress. Hydrogels containing Sanchi extract increased collagen deposition and CD31 expression in tissues. H2O2 (100 μM) induced injury in KCs and MECs, whereas Sanchi rescued the viability of KCs and MECs. Sanchi inhibited cell inflammation and oxidative stress and decreased apoptosis. As Sanchi blocked the NFκB pathway via IL1B, IL1B mitigated the therapeutic effect of Sanchi. Discussion and conclusion Sanchi demonstrated therapeutic effects on wound healing in rats by promoting KCs and MECs activity. These findings provide valuable information for the clinical application of Sanchi, which needs to be validated in future clinical trials.

Abstract
Injectable ECM-inspired hydrogels composed of hyaluronic acid and gelatin are biocompatible and potentially useful for various medical applications. We developed injectable hydrogels composed of monoaldehyde-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-mCHO) and carbohydrazide-modified gelatin (GL-CDH), "HA/GL gel", whose ratios of HA-mCHO to GL-CDH were different. The hydrogels exhibited gelation times shorter than 3 s. In addition, the hydrogels showed strong shear-thinning and self-healing properties, mainly because of the dynamic covalent bonding of Schiff bases between HA-mCHO and GL-CDH. This hydrogel degraded in the mice's peritoneum for a week and showed excellent biocompatibility. Moreover, the hydrogel showed a higher breaking strength than fibrin glue in the lap shear test of porcine skin. Finally, the hydrogels decreased bleeding to as low as fibrin glue without using thrombin and fibrinogen in a mouse liver bleeding model in both single- and double-barreled syringe administrations. HA/GL gels have the potential for excellent biocompatibility and hemostasis in clinical settings.

Abstract
Currently, there are no viable curative treatments that can enhance the central nervous system's (CNS) recovery from trauma or illness. Bioengineered injectable smart/stimuli-responsive hydrogels (SSRHs) that mirror the intricacy of the CNS milieu and architecture have been suggested as a way to get around these restrictions in combination with medication and cell therapy. Additionally, the right biophysical and pharmacological stimuli are required to boost meaningful CNS regeneration. Recent research has focused heavily on developing SSRHs as cutting-edge delivery systems that can direct the regeneration of brain tissue. In the present article, we have discussed the pathology of brain injuries, and the applicable strategies employed to regenerate the brain tissues. Moreover, the most promising SSRHs for neural tissue engineering (TE) including alginate (Alg.), hyaluronic acid (HA), chitosan (CH), gelatin, and collagen are used in natural polymer-based hydrogels and thoroughly discussed in this review. The ability of these hydrogels to distribute bioactive substances or cells in response to internal and external stimuli is highlighted with particular attention. In addition, this article provides a summary of the most cutting-edge techniques for CNS recovery employing SSRHs for several neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Uncontrolled hemorrhage results in various complications and is currently the leading cause of death in the general population. Traditional hemostatic methods have drawbacks that may lead to ineffective hemostasis and even the risk of secondary injury. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective hemostatic techniques. Polymeric hemostatic materials, particularly hydrogels, are ideal due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, absorption, and versatility. Functional hemostatic hydrogels can enhance hemostasis by creating physical circumstances conducive to hemostasis or by directly interfering with the physiological processes of hemostasis. The procoagulant principles include increasing the concentration of localized hemostatic substances or establishing a physical barrier at the physical level and intervention in blood cells or the coagulation cascade at the physiological level. Moreover, synergistic hemostasis can combine these functions. However, some hydrogels are ineffective in promoting hemostasis or have a limited application scope. These defects have impeded the advancement of hemostatic hydrogels. To provide inspiration and resources for new designs, this review provides an overview of the procoagulant principles of hemostatic hydrogels. We also discuss the challenges in developing effective hemostatic hydrogels and provide viewpoints.

Abstract
Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer in nature, is derived from various sources. The production of pharmaceutical textiles based on cellulose represents a growing sector. In medicated textiles, textile and pharmaceutical sciences are integrated to develop new healthcare approaches aiming to improve patient compliance. Through the possibility of cellulose functionalization, pharmaceutical textiles can broaden the applications of cellulose in the biomedical field. This narrative review aims to illustrate both the methods of extraction and preparation of cellulose fibers, with a particular focus on nanocellulose, and diverse pharmaceutical applications like tissue restoration and antimicrobial, antiviral, and wound healing applications. Additionally, the merging between fabricated cellulosic textiles with drugs, metal nanoparticles, and plant-derived and synthetic materials are also illustrated. Moreover, new emerging technologies and the use of smart medicated textiles (3D and 4D cellulosic textiles) are not far from those within the review scope. In each section, the review outlines some of the limitations in the use of cellulose textiles, indicating scientific research that provides significant contributions to overcome them. This review also points out the faced challenges and possible solutions in a trial to present an overview on all issues related to the use of cellulose for the production of pharmaceutical textiles.

Conventional surgical closure techniques, such as sutures, clips, or skin closure strips, may not always provide optimal wound closure and may require invasive procedures, which can result in potential post-surgical complications. As result, there is a growing demand for innovative solutions to achieve superior wound closure and improve patient outcomes. To overcome the abovementioned issues, in situ generated hemostatic adhesives/sealants have emerged as a promising alternative, offering a targeted, controllable, and minimally invasive procedure for a wide variety of medical applications. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of action and recent advances of in situ generated hemostatic adhesives, particularly protein-based, thermoresponsive, bioinspired, and photocrosslinkable formulations, as well as the design challenges that must be addressed. Overall, this review aims to enhance a comprehensive understanding of the latest advancements of in situ generated hemostatic adhesives and their mechanisms of action, with the objective of promoting further research in this field.

Abstract
A facile novel approach of introducing dopamine and [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl) ammonium hydroxide via dopamine-triggered in situ synthesis into gelatin hydrogels in the presence of ZnSO4 is presented in this study. Remarkably, the resulting hydrogels showed 99.99 and 100% antibacterial efficiency against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, respectively, making them the highest performing surfaces in their class. Furthermore, the hydrogels showed adhesive properties, self-healing ability, antifreeze properties, electrical conductivity, fatigue resistance, and mechanical stability from -100 to 80 °C. The added multifunctional performance overcomes several disadvantages of gelatin-based hydrogels such as poor mechanical properties and limited thermostability. Overall, the newly developed hydrogels show significant potential for numerous biomedical applications, such as wearable monitoring sensors and antibacterial coatings.

Abstract
The application of most hydrogel bio-adhesives is greatly limited due to their high swelling, low underwater adhesion, and single function. Herein, a spatial multi-level physical-chemical and bio-inspired in-situ bonding strategy is proposed, to develop a multifunctional hydrogel bio-glue using polyglutamic acid (PGA), tyramine hydrochloride (TYR), and tannic acid (TA) as precursors and 4-(4,6-dimethoxytriazine-2-yl) -4-methylmorpholine hydrochloride(DMTMM) as condensation agent, which is used for tissue adhesion, hemostasis and repair. By introducing TYR and TA into the PGA chain, it is demonstrated that not only can the strong adhesion of bio-glue to the surface of various fresh tissues and wet materials be realized through the synergistic effect of spatial multi-level physical and chemical bonding, but also this glue can be endowed with the functions of anti-oxidation and hemostasis. The excellent performance of such bio-glue in the repair of the wound, liver, and cartilage is achieved, showing a great potential in clinical application for such bio-glue. This study will open up a brand-new avenue for the development of multifunctional hydrogel biological adhesive.

Abstract
Poly(amino acid) based self-healing hydrogels have important application in biomedications. In this research, the catechol pendant groups were imported to poly(aspartic acid) based self-healing hydrogel to improved skin adhesion and ROS scavenging performance. The poly(succinimide) (PSI) was reacted with 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DA) and then hydraziolyzed to import catechol group and hydrazide group respectively, which are responsible for mussel inspired tissue adhesion and dynamic coupling reactivity. The dopamine modified poly(aspartic hydrazide) (PDAH) was reacted with PEO90 dialdehyde (PEO90 DA) to prepare hydrogels, and the resultant hydrogel showed good biocompatibility both in vitro and in vivo. The skin adhesion strength of the mussel inspired hydrogel increased notably with enhanced radical scavenging efficiency fit for in vivo wound repairing applications. The PDAH/PEO90 DA hydrogel also showed sustained albumin release profile and the in vivo wound repairing experiment proved the mouse Epidermal Growth Factor (mEGF) loaded hydrogel as wound dressing material accelerated the wound repairing rate.

Abstract
Annually, millions of patients suffer from irreversible injury owing to the loss or failure of an organ or tissue caused by accident, aging, or disease. The combination of injectable hydrogels and the science of stem cells have emerged to address this persistent issue in society by generating minimally invasive treatments to augment tissue function. Hydrogels are composed of a cross-linked network of polymers that exhibit a high-water retention capacity, thereby mimicking the wet environment of native cells. Due to their inherent mechanical softness, hydrogels can be used as needle-injectable stem cell carrier materials to mend tissue defects. Hydrogels are made of different natural or synthetic polymers, displaying a broad portfolio of eligible properties, which include biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, shear-thinning properties as well as tunable biological and physicochemical properties. Presently, novel ongoing developments and native-like hydrogels are increasingly being used broadly to improve the quality of life of those with disabling tissue-related diseases. The present review outlines various future and in-vitro applications of injectable hydrogel-based biomaterials, focusing on the newest ongoing developments of in-situ forming injectable hydrogels for bone and cartilage tissue engineering purposes.

Abstract
Materials employed in the treatment of conditions encountered in surgical and clinical practice frequently face barriers in translation to application. Shortcomings can be generalized through their reduced mechanical stability, difficulty in handling, and inability to conform or adhere to complex tissue surfaces. To overcome an amalgam of challenges, research has sought the utilization of polymer-derived nanomaterials deposited in various fashions and formulations to improve the application and outcomes of surgical and clinical interventions. Clinically prevalent applications include topical wound dressings, tissue adhesives, surgical sealants, hemostats, and adhesion barriers, all of which have displayed the potential to act as superior alternatives to current materials used in surgical procedures. In this review, emphasis will be placed not only on applications, but also on various design strategies employed in fabrication. This review is designed to provide a broad and thought-provoking understanding of nanomaterials as adjuvant tools for the assisted treatment of pathologies prevalent in surgery.

Abstract
Uncontrolled bleeding in emergency situations is a great threat to both military and civilian lives, and an ideal hemostat for effectively controlling prehospital hemorrhage is urgently needed but still lacking. Although hemostatic hydrogels are promising for emergency hemostasis, they are currently challenged by either the mutual exclusion between a short gelation time and strong adhesive network or the insufficient functionality of ingredients and complicated operations for in situ curing. Herein, an extracellular matrix biopolymer-based and multifunctional hemostatic hydrogel that simultaneously integrates rapid thermoresponsive gelation, robust wet adhesion, and ease of use in emergencies is rationally engineered. This hydrogel can be conveniently used via simple injection and achieves instant sol-gel phase transition at body temperature. Its comprehensive performance could be facilely regulated by tuning the proportions of components, and the optimal performance (gelation time 6-8 s, adhesion strength 125 ± 3.6 kPa, burst pressure 282 ± 4.1 mmHg) is established due to the coordinated enhancement of the photo-cross-linking pretreatment and the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance among various interactions in the hydrogel system. Additionally, it exhibits significant coagulation effect in vitro and enables effective hemostasis and wound healing in vivo. This work provides a promising platform for versatile applications of hydrogel-based materials, including emergency hemostasis.

Abstract
Currently, most of the clinically available surgical glues and sealants lack elasticity, good adhesion and biocompatibility properties. Hydrogels as tissue adhesives have received extensive attention for their tissue-mimicking features. Here, a novel surgical glue hydrogel based on a fermentation-derived human albumin (rAlb) and biocompatible crosslinker for tissue-sealant applications has been developed. In order to reduce the risks of viral transmission diseases and an immune response, Animal-Free Recombinant Human Albumin from the saccharomyces yeast strain was used. A more biocompatible crosslinking agent, 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC), was used and compared with glutaraldehyde (GA). The design of crosslinked albumin-based adhesive gels was optimized by varying the albumin concentration, the mass ratio between albumin and the crosslinking agent as well as the crosslinker type. Tissue sealants were characterized in terms of mechanical (tensile and shear), adhesive and in vitro biocompatibility properties. The results indicated that the mechanical and adhesive properties improved as the albumin concentration increased and the mass ratio between albumin and crosslinker decreased. Moreover, the EDC-crosslinked albumin gels have better biocompatibility properties than GA-crosslinked glues.

Abstract
Zein is a biocompatible and biodegradable corn protein with promising properties for biomedical applications. It is hydrophobic with the ability to self-assemble in an aqueous medium. It can also form a gel in hydroalcoholic solvents at higher concentrations. Few studies have investigated the biomedical significance of zein gels. Herein, we exploited the injectability and water-responsive increase in stiffness of zein gel to achieve hemostasis by physical blockage of the wound and clot formation. The release of components from the gel further aided blood clotting and gave a higher clot strength than a natural clot, which can prevent rebleeding. Rabbit aortic injury and swine femoral artery injury models were used to evaluate the hemostatic efficacy of the zein gel. Zein gel was effective in both hemostatic models without applying external compression due to an in situ increase in stiffness, while the control (Celox™ Gauze) required external compression at the wound site. The zein gel was easily removed after hemostasis due to hydrophobic self-assembly. Overall, zein gel is proposed as an effective hemostatic product for any wound shape owing to its good shape adaptability and rapid in situ blood-responsive stiffness increase.

Abstract
Hypoxic nonhealing wounds are a common complication in chronic patients, and chronic hypoxia is the main reason for delayed wound healing, so local wound oxygenation may be an effective way to address this problem. Here, we proposed a system consisting of oxygen-releasing microsphere (GC) and self-healing hydrogel (QGO). QGO/GC hydrogel could promote survival, migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions. Moreover, QGO/GC hydrogels exhibited biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. The hypoxic mouse burn model further confirmed that QGO/GC hydrogel could promote tissue repair by reducing inflammation (TNF-α and IL-1β), increasing angiogenesis (CD31, VEGF and α-SMA) and collagen deposition. This study provided an effective oxygen-releasing hydrogel that could offer a simple and effective method for the clinical treatment of chronic hypoxic wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Burn injury is caused by various exogenous factors such as friction, cold, radiations, electricity, chemicals, hot surfaces or liquids. Severe burn can damage the entire skin layer, and the healing process is delayed due to an unbalanced inflammatory response, excessive reactive oxygen species, lack of angiogenesis (insufficient nutrient and oxygen availability), and susceptibility to infection. In the present study, we proposed an oxygen-releasing hydrogel (QGO/GC). QGO/GC hydrogel could promote survival, migration, and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions. And QGO/GC hydrogels could promote tissue repair by reducing inflammation, increasing angiogenesis and collagen deposition. This work provided an effective oxygen-releasing hydrogel for the clinical management of chronic hypoxic wounds.

Abstract
Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of trauma-related deaths, in hospital and pre-hospital settings. Hemostasis is a complex mechanism that involves a cascade of clotting factors and proteins that result in the formation of a strong clot. In certain surgical and emergency situations, hemostatic agents are needed to achieve faster blood coagulation to prevent the patient from experiencing a severe hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, it is critical to consider appropriate materials and designs for hemostatic agents. Many materials have been fabricated as hemostatic agents, including synthetic and naturally derived polymers. However, compared to synthetic polymers, natural polymers or biopolymers, which include polysaccharides and polypeptides, have greater biocompatibility, biodegradability, and processibility. Thus, in this review, we focus on biopolymer-based hemostatic agents of different forms, such as powder, particles, sponges, and hydrogels. Finally, we discuss biopolymer-based hemostats currently in clinical trials and offer insight into next-generation hemostats for clinical translation.

Abstract
Bionic self-assembly hydrogel derived by peptide as an effective biomedical hemostatic agent has always gained great attention. However, developing hydrogels with eminent-biosecurity, rapidly hemostatic and bactericidal function remains a critical challenge. Hence, we designed an injectable hydrogel with hemostatic and bactericidal function based on Bionic Self-Assembling Peptide (BSAP) in this study. BSAP was formed with two functionalized peptides containing (RADA)4 motif and possessed the ability to self-assemble into nanofibers. As expected, BSAP could rapidly co-assemble into hydrogel network structure in situ driven by Ca2+. The hydrogel with a concentration of 5% showed a superior microporous structure and excellent shear thinning characteristics, as well as injectability. Moreover, in the foot trauma model and tail amputation model, the fabricated hydrogel exhibited a lower blood clotting index and dramatically reduced blood clotting time and bleeding volume. Remarkably, the hydrogel reduced inflammatory responses by blocking bacterial infection, promoting wound healing. Finally, the hydrogel is highly hemocompatible and has no cytotoxicity. Overall, this work provides a strategy for developing a high-biosecurity hydrogel with hemostatic and antibacterial properties, which will allow for the clinical application of BSAP.

Abstract
Hemostatic biomaterials show great promise in wound control for the treatment of uncontrolled bleeding associated with damaged tissues, traumatic wounds, and surgical incisions. A surge of interest has been directed at boosting hemostatic properties of bioactive materials via mechanisms triggering the coagulation cascade. A wide variety of biocompatible and biodegradable materials has been applied to the design of hemostatic platforms for rapid blood coagulation. Recent trends in the design of hemostatic agents emphasize chemical conjugation of charged moieties to biomacromolecules, physical incorporation of blood-coagulating agents in biomaterials systems, and superabsorbing materials in either dry (foams) or wet (hydrogel) states. In addition, tough bioadhesives are emerging for efficient and physical sealing of incisions. In this Review, we highlight the biomacromolecular design approaches adopted to develop hemostatic bioactive materials. We discuss the mechanistic pathways of hemostasis along with the current standard experimental procedures for characterization of the hemostasis efficacy. Finally, we discuss the potential for clinical translation of hemostatic technologies, future trends, and research opportunities for the development of next-generation surgical materials with hemostatic properties for wound management.

Abstract
Wound healing is the dynamic tissue regeneration process replacing devitalized and missing tissue layers. With the development of photomedicine techniques in wound healing, safe and noninvasive photobiomodulation therapy is receiving attention. Effective wound management in photobiomodulation is challenged, however, by limited control of the geometrical mismatches on the injured skin surface. Here, adhesive hyaluronic acid-based gelatin nanofibrous membranes integrated with multiple light-emitting diode (LED) arrays are developed as a skin-attachable patch. The nanofibrous wound dressing is expected to mimic the three-dimensional structure of the extracellular matrix, and its adhesiveness allows tight coupling between the wound sites and the flexible LED patch. Experimental results demonstrate that our medical device accelerates the initial wound healing process by the synergetic effects of the wound dressing and LED irradiation. Our proposed technology promises progress for wound healing management and other biomedical applications.

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.

Abstract
Rapid and effective hemostasis is of great importance to improve the quality of treatment and save lives in emergency, surgical practice, civilian, and military settings. Traditional hemostatic materials such as tourniquets, gauze, bandages, and sponges have shown limited efficacy in the management of uncontrollable bleeding, resulting in widespread interest in the development of novel hemostatic materials and techniques. Benefiting from biocompatibility, degradability, injectability, tunable mechanical properties, and potential abilities to promote coagulation, wound healing, and anti-infection, hydrogel-based biomaterials, especially those on the basis of natural polysaccharides and proteins, have been increasingly explored in preclinical studies over the past few years. Despite the exciting research progress and initial commercial development of several hemostatic hydrogels, there is still a significant distance from the desired hemostatic effect applicable to clinical treatment. In this review, after elucidating the process of biological hemostasis, the latest progress of hydrogel biomaterials engineered from natural polysaccharides and proteins for hemostasis is discussed on the basis of comprehensive literature review. We have focused on the preparation strategies, physicochemical properties, hemostatic and wound-healing abilities of these novel biomaterials, and highlighted the challenges that needed to be addressed to achieve the transformation of laboratory research into clinical practice, and finally presented future research directions in this area.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is one of the greatest threats to life on the battlefield, accounting for 50% of total deaths. Nearly 86% of combat deaths occur within the first 30 min after wounding. While external wound injuries can be treated mostly using visual inspection, abdominal or internal hemorrhages are more challenging to treat with regular hemostatic dressings because of deep wounds and points of injury that cannot be located properly. The need to treat trauma wounds from limbs, abdomen, liver, stomach, colon, spleen, arterial, venous, and/or parenchymal hemorrhage accompanied by severe bleeding requires an immediate solution that the first responders can apply to reduce rapid exsanguinations from external wounds, including in military operations. This necessitates the development of a unique, easy-to-use, FDA-approved hemostatic treatment that can deliver the agent in less than 30 s and stop bleeding within the first 1 to 2 min at the point of injury without application of manual pressure on the wounded area.

Abstract
In situ hydrogel has attracted widely attention in hemostasis due to its ability to match irregular defects, but its application is limited by insufficient mechanical strength and long gelation time. Although some specifical in situ chemically cross-linked hydrogels could be fast formed and exhibit high mechanical strength, they unable to absorb blood. Hence their applications were further limited in emergency hemostasis usage. In this study, a robust hydrogel formed by hydration of powders was developed using multiple hydrogen bonds crosslinking. Here, catechol groups modified ε-polylysine (PL-CAT) and polyacrylamide (PAAM) were used to construct the PL-CAT/PAAM hydrogel. This hydrogel could be formed within 7 s to adhere and seal bleeding sites. The catechol groups endowed the hydrogel outstanding adhesive strength, which was 3.5 times of fibrin glue. Besides, the mechanical performance of in-situ PL-CAT/PAAM hydrogel was explored and the results showed that the hydrogel exhibited high compressive strength (0.47 MPa at 85% strain). Most importantly, the blood loss of wound treated with PL-CAT/PAAM hydrogel powders was 1/7 of untreated group, indicating the hydrogel's excellent hemostatic effect. And the cytotoxicity studies indicated that the PL-CAT/PAAM hydrogel had low toxicity. To summarize, this hydrogel could be a potential hemostatic material in emergency situations.

Abstract
Emergent and long-term hemorrhage control is requisite and beneficial for reducing global mortality and postoperative complications (e.g., second bleeding and adverse tissue adhesion). Despite recent advance in injectable hydrogels for hemostasis, achieving rapid gelation, strong tissue-adhesive property and stable mechanical strength under fluid physiological environment is still challenging. Herein, we developed a novel chitosan hydrogel (CCS@gel) via dynamic Schiff base reaction and mussel-inspired catechol chemistry. The hydrogel possessed high gelation rate (<10 s), strong wet adhesiveness, excellent self-healing performance and biocompatibility. More importantly, the CCS@gel exhibited saline-induced contractile performance and mechanical enhancement, promoting its mechanical property in moist internal conditions. In vivo studies demonstrated its superior hemostatic efficacy for diverse anticoagulated visceral and carotid bleeding scenarios, compared to commercialized fibrin glue. The hydrogel-treated rats survived for 8 weeks with minimal inflammation and postoperative adhesion. These results revealed that the promising CCS@gel would be a facile, efficient and safe sealant for clinical hemorrhage control.

Fabrication and Characterization of Chitosan-Polyethylene Glycol (Ch-Peg) Based Hydrogels and Evaluation of Their Potency in Rat Skin Wound Model. Int J Biomater 2021; 2021:4877344. [PMID: 34691184 PMCID: PMC8531824 DOI: 10.1155/2021/4877344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 09/13/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Thermal burns are a major cause of death and suffering around the globe. They can cause debilitating, life-altering injuries as well as lead to significant psychological and financial consequences. Several research works have been conducted in attempt to find a wound healing therapy that is successful. At present, hydrogels have been widely used in cutting-edge research for this purpose because they have suitable properties. This study aimed to see how therapy with chitosan-polyethylene glycol (Ch-Peg) based hydrogels affected the healing of burn wounds in rats. With the concern of public health, xanthan gum (X), boric acid (B), gelatin (Ge), polyethylene glycol (Peg), chitosan (Ch), glutaraldehyde (G), and HPLC-grade water were prepared using X : Ge : G, X : Ge : Peg : G, X : Ge : Ch : G, X : Ge : Peg : Ch : G, X : Ge : B : Ch : G, X : Ge : B : Peg : G, and X : Ge : B : Peg : Ch : G. The produced composite hydrogels were examined for swelling ability, biodegradability, rheological characteristics, and porosity. The 3D structure of the hydrogel was revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After that, the structural characterization technique named Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to describe the composites (SEM). Lastly, in a rat skin wound model, the efficacy of the produced hydrogels was studied. Swelling ability, biodegradability, rheological properties, and porosity were all demonstrated in composite hydrogels that contained over 90% water. Hydrogels with good polymeric networks and porosity were observed using SEM. The existence of bound water and free, intra- and intermolecule hydrogen-linked OH and NH in the hydrogels was confirmed using FTIR. In a secondary burned rat model, all hydrogels showed significant wound healing effectiveness when compared to controls. When compared to other composite hydrogels, wounds treated with X : Ge : Peg : Ch : G, X : Ge : B : Peg : G, and X : Ge : B : Peg : Ch:G recovered faster after 28 days. In conclusion, this research suggests that X : Ge : Peg : Ch : G, X : Ge : B : Peg : G, and X : Ge : B : Peg : Ch : G could be used to treat skin injuries in the clinic.

Abstract
Gelatin-based inks have a broad range of applications in bioprinting for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility, ease of modification, degradability, and rapid gelation induced by low temperature. However, gelatin-derived inks prepared through low-temperature treatment have poor mechanical properties that limit their applications. To solve this problem, we designed polyacrylamide/gelatin/silver nanoparticle (PAAm-GelatinAgNPs) ink to improve gelatin-based hydrogels. The ink is based on double networks, in which the physically cross-linked gelatin as the first network and covalently cross-linked PAAm as the second network. It was found that the presence of PAAm increased the tensile and compression strength of the gelatin-based ink. Moreover, silver nanoparticles endowed the antibacterial properties to the gelatin-based ink and were able to shield the UV irradiation and damages to rat skin. In addition, this ink showed the shear thinning property; Consequently it succeeded in printing complex 3D scaffolds such as the cube, five-pointed star, flower, and university logo of "SEU". In summary, this ink presents a new strategy for the modification of gelatin and offers new potential applications for customized therapy of antimicrobial and anti-UV damage to tissues.

Abstract
Naturally occurring biological entities with extractable and tunable structural and functional characteristics, along with therapeutic attributes, are of supreme interest for strengthening the twenty-first-century biomedical settings. Irrespective of ongoing technological and clinical advancement, traditional medicinal practices to address and manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are inefficient and the effect of the administered therapeutic cues is limited. The reasonable immune response or invasion should also be circumvented for successful clinical translation of engineered cues as highly efficient and robust bioactive entities. In this context, research is underway worldwide, and researchers have redirected or regained their interests in valorizing the naturally occurring biological entities/resources, for example, algal biome so-called "treasure of untouched or underexploited sources". Algal biome from the marine environment is an immense source of excellence that has also been demonstrated as a source of bioactive compounds with unique chemical, structural, and functional features. Moreover, the molecular modeling and synthesis of new drugs based on marine-derived therapeutic and biological cues can show greater efficacy and specificity for the therapeutics. Herein, an effort has been made to cover the existing literature gap on the exploitation of naturally occurring biological entities/resources to address and efficiently manage IBD. Following a brief background study, a focus was given to design characteristics, performance evaluation of engineered cues, and point-of-care IBD therapeutics of diverse bioactive compounds from the algal biome. Noteworthy potentialities of marine-derived biologically active compounds have also been spotlighted to underlying the impact role of bio-active elements with the related pathways. The current review is also focused on the applied standpoint and clinical translation of marine-derived bioactive compounds. Furthermore, a detailed overview of clinical applications and future perspectives are also given in this review.

Abstract
Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a biocompatible polymer that has been applied in many fields. However, the surface hydrophobicity of PDMS can limit successful implementation, and this must be reduced by surface modification to improve biocompatibility. In this study, we modified the PDMS surface with a hydrogel and investigated the effect of this on hydrophilicity, bacterial adhesion, cell viability, immune response, and biocompatibility of PDMS. Hydrogels were created from hyaluronic acid and gelatin using a Schiff-base reaction. The PDMS surface and hydrogel were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, attenuated total reflection Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The hydrophilicity of the surface was confirmed via a decrease in the water contact angle. Bacterial anti-adhesion was demonstrated for Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Ralstonia pickettii, and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and viability and improved distribution of human-derived adipose stem cells were also confirmed. Decreased capsular tissue responses were observed in vivo with looser collagen distribution and reduced cytokine expression on the hydrogel-coated surface. Hydrogel coating on treated PDMS is a promising method to improve the surface hydrophilicity and biocompatibility for surface modification of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Broad interest in developing new hemostatic technologies arises from unmet needs in mitigating uncontrolled hemorrhage in emergency, surgical, and battlefield settings. Although a variety of hemostats, sealants, and adhesives are available, development of ideal hemostatic compositions that offer a range of remarkable properties including capability to effectively and immediately manage bleeding, excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, antibacterial effect, and strong tissue adhesion properties, under wet and dynamic conditions, still remains a challenge. Benefiting from tunable mechanical properties, high porosity, biocompatibility, injectability and ease of handling, polymeric hydrogels with outstanding hemostatic properties have been receiving increasing attention over the past several years. In this review, after shedding light on hemostasis and wound healing processes, the most recent progresses in hydrogel systems engineered from natural and synthetic polymers for hemostatic applications are discussed based on a comprehensive literature review. Most studies described used in vivo models with accessible and compressible wounds to assess the hemostatic performance of hydrogels. The challenges that need to be tackled to accelerate the translation of these novel hemostatic hydrogel systems to clinical practice are emphasized and future directions for research in the field are presented.

Abstract
The mechanical properties and structural stability of hydrogels and their performance in antidegradation can be enhanced by cross-linking them with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). However, residual EDC compromises the biocompatibility of cross-linked hydrogels and the formability of un-cross-linked hydrogels. In this study, a facile process for preparing hydrogel regenerative membranes exerting antibacterial effects and containing gelatin/hyaluronic acid (G/HA) through solution casting was proposed. The membranes were cross-linked with EDC (G/HA-Ec-0H) and impregnated with two concentrations of the antibacterial agent of hinokitiol (G/HA-Ec-2H and G/HA-Ec-4H). Amide bonds formed, and the rate of active amino acid fixation was higher than 90%, which was directly proportional to the degree of cross-linking. The G/HA-Ec-2H and G/HA-Ec-4H groups with hinokitiol showed good antibacterial properties. The rate of hydrogel degradation decreased, and the integrity of sample morphology was maintained at more than 80% for over 3 days in the immersion. Then, the hydrogel structures relaxed and disintegrated through a rapid degradation reaction within 24 h. The biocompatibility results showed that low concentrations of hinokitiol did not affect cell viability. Moreover, hydrogel membranes after 14 days of cell incubation showed good cell adhesion and proliferation. In summary, the membrane biostability of the cross-linked gelatin/hyaluronan hydrogels was enhanced by EDC at a biocompatible concentration, and the functionalized group of G/HA-Ec-2H shows potential as a biodegradable material for biocompatible tissue-guarded regeneration membranes with antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Rapid hemostasis and formation of stable blood clots are very important to prevent massive blood loss from the excessive bleeding for living body, but their own clotting process cannot be completed in time for effective hemostasis without the help of hemostatic materials. In general, traditionally suturing and stapling techniques for wound closure are prone to cause the additional damages to the tissues, activated inflammatory responses, short usage periods and inevitable second operations in clinical applications. Especially for the large wounds that require the urgent closure of fluids or gases, these conventional closure methods are far from enough. To address these problems, various tissue adhesives, sealants and hemostatic materials are placed great expectation. In this review, we focused on the development of two main categories of tissue adhesive materials: synthetic polymeric adhesives and naturally derived polysaccharide adhesives. Research of the high performance of hemostatic adhesives with strong adhesion, better biocompatibility, easy usability and cheap price is highly demanded for both scientists and clinicians, and this review is also intended to provide a comprehensive summarization and inspiration for pursuit of more advanced hemostatic adhesives for biological fields.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) are long, linear polysaccharides that display a wide range of relevant biological roles. Particularly, in the extracellular matrix (ECM) GAG specifically interact with other biological molecules, such as growth factors, protecting them from proteolysis or inhibiting factors. Additionally, ECM GAG are partially responsible for the mechanical stability of tissues due to their capacity to retain high amounts of water, enabling hydration of the ECM and rendering it resistant to compressive forces. In this review, the use of GAG for developing hydrogel networks with improved biological activity and/or mechanical properties is discussed. Greater focus is given to strategies involving the production of hydrogels that are composed of GAG alone or in combination with other materials. Additionally, approaches used to introduce GAG-inspired features in biomaterials of different sources will also be presented.

A Facile Method to Fabricate Anisotropic Extracellular Matrix with 3D Printing Topological Microfibers. MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12233944. [PMID: 31795170 PMCID: PMC6926675 DOI: 10.3390/ma12233944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2019] [Revised: 11/18/2019] [Accepted: 11/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
Natural tissues and organs have different requirements regarding the mechanical characteristics of response. It is still a challenge to achieve biomaterials with anisotropic mechanical properties using an extracellular matrix with biological activity. We have improved the ductility and modulus of the gelatin matrix using 3D printed gelatin microfibers with different concentrations and topologies and, at the same, time achieved anisotropic mechanical properties. We successfully printed flat microfibers using partially cross-linked gelatin. We modified the 10% (w/v) gelatin matrix with microfibers consisting of a gelatin concentration of 14% (w/v), increasing the modulus to about three times and the elongation at break by 39% in parallel with the fiber direction. At the same time, it is found that the microfiber topology can effectively change the matrix ductility, and changing the modulus of the gelatin used in the microfiber can effectively change the matrix modulus. These findings provide a simple method for obtaining active biological materials that are closer to a physiological environment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Injectable hydrogels are a thermo-responsive system based on biomaterials. Injectable hydrogels have been broadly investigated mainly as vehicles or scaffolds of therapeutic agents that include drugs, proteins, cells, and bioactive molecules among others, utilized in the treatment of diseases such as cancers and the repair and regeneration of tissues. RESULTS There are several studies that have described the multiple features of hydrogels. However, the main aspect that breaks the paradigm in the application of hydrogels is the thermoresponsiveness that some of them have, which is an abrupt modification in their properties in response to small variations in temperature. For that reason, the thermo-responsive hydrogels with the unique property of sol-gel transition have received special attention over the past decades. These hydrogels show phase transition near physiological human body temperature. This feature is key for being applied in promising areas of human health-related research. CONCLUSION The purpose of this study is the overview of injectable hydrogels and their latest advances in medical applications including bioactive compound delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine.

Mar Drugs 2019; 17:E236. [PMID: 31010247 PMCID: PMC6521258 DOI: 10.3390/md17040236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2019] [Revised: 04/12/2019] [Accepted: 04/15/2019] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rich in growth factors and has commonly been utilized in the repair and regeneration of damaged articular cartilage. However, the major drawbacks of direct PRP injection are unstable biological fixation and fast or burst release of growth factors. Fucoidan is a heparinoid compound that can bind growth factors to control their release rate. Furthermore, fucoidan can reduce arthritis through suppressing inflammatory responses and thus it has been reported to prevent the progression of osteoarthritis, promote bone regeneration and accelerate healing of cartilage injury. Injectable hydrogels can be used to deliver cells and growth factors for an alternative, less invasive treatment of cartilage defects. In this study, hyaluronic acid (HA) and fucoidan (FD) was blended with gelatin (GLT) and the GLT/HA/FD hybrid was further cross-linked with genipin (GP) to prepare injectable GP-GLT/HA/FD hydrogels. The gelation rate was affected by the GP, GLT, HA and FD concentrations, as well as the pH values. The addition of HA and FD to GLT networks improved the mechanical strength of the hydrogels and facilitated the sustained release of PRP growth factors. The GP-GLT/HA/FD hydrogel showed adequate injectability, shape-persistent property and strong adhesive ability, and was more resistant to enzymatic degradation. The PRP-loaded GP-GLT/HA/FD hydrogel promoted cartilage regeneration in rabbits, which may lead to an advanced PRP therapy for enhancing cartilage repair.
