Abstract
Particles with a porous structure can lead to quick hemostasis and provide a good matrix for cell proliferation during wound healing. Recently, many particle-based wound healing materials have been clinically applied. However, these products show good hemostatic ability but with poor wound healing ability. To solve this problem, this study fabricated APGG composite particles using yeast β-glucan (obtained from Saccharomyces cerevisiae), sodium alginate, and γ-polyglutamic acid as the starting materials. The structure of yeast β-glucan was modified with many carboxymethyl groups to obtain carboxymethylated β-glucan, which could coordinate with Ca2+ ions to form a crosslinked structure. A morphology study indicated that the APGG particles showed an irregular spheroidal structure with a low density (<0.1 g cm-3) and high porosity (>40%). An in vitro study revealed that the particles exhibited a low BCI value, low hemolysis ratio, and good cytocompatibility against L929 cells. The APGG particles could quickly stop bleeding in a mouse liver injury model and exhibited better hemostatic ability than the commercially available product Celox. Furthermore, the APGG particles could accelerate the healing of non-infected wounds, and the expression levels of CD31, α-SMA, and VEGF related to angiogenesis were significantly enhanced.

Nitric oxide-releasing multifunctional catechol-modified chitosan/oxidized dextran hydrogel with antibacterial, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic properties for MRSA-infected diabetic wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 263:130225.

Abstract
The study presents a multifunctional catechol-modified chitosan (Chi-Ca)/oxidized dextran (Dex-CHO) hydrogel (CDP-PB) that possesses antibacterial, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic properties, aimed at improving the healing of diabetic wounds. The achievement of the as-prepared CDP-PB hydrogel with superb antibacterial property (99.9 %) can be realized through the synergistic effect of phenylboronic acid-modified polyethyleneimine (PEI-PBA) and photothermal therapy (PTT) of polydopamine nanoparticles loaded with the nitric oxide (NO) donor BNN6 (PDA@BNN6). Notably, CDP-PB hydrogel achieves ∼3.6 log10 CFU/mL MRSA of inactivation efficiency under 808 nm NIR laser irradiation. In order to mitigate oxidative stress, the Chi-Ca was synthesized and afterward subjected to a reaction with Dex-CHO via a Schiff-base reaction. The catechol-containing hydrogel demonstrated its effectiveness in scavenging DPPH, •OH, and ABTS radicals (> 85 %). In addition, the cellular experiment illustrates the increased migration and proliferation of cells by the treatment of CDP-PB hydrogel in the presence of oxidative stress conditions. Moreover, the findings from the animal model experiments provide evidence that the CDP-PB hydrogel exhibited efficacy in the eradication of wound infection, facilitation of angiogenesis, stimulation of granulation, and augmentation of collagen deposition. These results indicate the potential of the CDP-PB hydrogel for use in clinical applications.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation modulates cell behavior and influences bacterial activity, so highly conductive, antimicrobial hydrogels are suitable for promoting wound healing. In this study, highly conductive and antimicrobial Ti3C2Tx (MXene) hydrogels composed of chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) and AgCu- H2PYDC MOF were developed. In PVACS/MOF/MXene (PCMM) hydrogels, the MXene layer acts as an electrical conductor. The electrical conductivity is 0.61 ± 0.01 S·cm-1. PCMM hydrogels modulate cell behavior and provide ES antimicrobial capacity under ES at 1 V. The metal ions of MOF form coordination with chitosan molecules and increase the cross-linking density between chitosan molecules, thus improving the mechanical properties of the hydrogel (tensile strength 0.088 ± 0.04 MPa, elongation at break 233 ± 11 %). The PCMM gels had good biocompatibility. The PCMM hydrogels achieved 100 % antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus for 12 h. 1 V electrical stimulation of PCMM hydrogel accelerated the wound healing process in mice by promoting cell migration and neovascularization, achieving 97 ± 0.4 % wound healing on day 14. The hydrogel dressing PCMM-0.1 with MOF addition of 0.1 % had the best wound healing promoting effect and which is a promising dressing for promoting wound healing and is a therapeutic strategy worth developing.

Abstract
We report a facile strategy to prepare chitosan (CS) hydrogels that eliminates the need for chemical crosslinking for advanced biomedical therapies. This approach gives controlled properties to the hydrogels by incorporating a natural bioactive phenolic compound, phloroglucinol (PG), into their microstructure. The adsorption of PG onto CS chains enhanced the hydrogels' antioxidant activity by up to 25 % and resulted in a denser, more entangled structure, reducing the pore size by 59 μm while maintaining porosity above 94 %. This allowed us to finely adjust pore size and swelling capacity. These structural properties make these hydrogels well-suited for wound healing dressings, promoting fibroblast proliferation and exhibiting excellent hemocompatibility. Furthermore, to ensure the versatility of these hydrogels, herein, we demonstrate their potential as drug delivery systems, particularly for dermal infections. The drug release can be controlled by a combination of drug diffusion through the swollen hydrogel and relaxation of the CS chains. In summary, our hydrogels leverage the synergistic effects of CS's antibacterial and antifungal properties with PG's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory attributes, positioning them as promising candidates for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, more specifically in advanced wound healing therapies with local drug delivery.

Abstract
Skin injuries can have unexpected surfaces, leading to uneven wound surfaces and inadequate dressing contact with these irregular surfaces. This can decrease the dressing's haemostatic action and increase the healing period. This study recommends the use of sticky and flexible cryogel coverings to promote faster haemostasis and efficiently handle uneven skin wounds. Alginate cryogels have a fast haemostatic effect and shape flexibility due to their macroporous structure. The material demonstrates potent antibacterial characteristics and enhances skin adherence by adding grafted chitosan with gallic acid. In irregular defect wound models, cryogels can cling closely to uneven damage surfaces due to their amorphous nature. Furthermore, their macroporous structure allows for quick haemostasis by quickly absorbing blood and wound exudate. After giving the dressing a thorough rinse, its adhesive strength reduces and it is simple to remove without causing any damage to the wound. Cryogel demonstrated faster haemostasis than gauze in a wound model on a rat tail, indicating that it has considerable potential for use as a wound dressing in the biomedical area.

Abstract
Hydrogels are polymeric materials that possess a set of characteristics meeting various requirements of an ideal wound dressing, making them promising for wound care. These features include, among others, the ability to absorb and retain large amounts of water and the capacity to closely mimic native structures, such as the extracellular matrix, facilitating various cellular processes like proliferation and differentiation. The polymers used in hydrogel formulations exhibit a broad spectrum of properties, allowing them to be classified into two main categories: natural polymers like collagen and chitosan, and synthetic polymers such as polyurethane and polyethylene glycol. This review offers a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of the key polymers that can constitute hydrogels, beginning with a brief contextualization of the polymers. It delves into their function, origin, and chemical structure, highlighting key sources of extraction and obtaining. Additionally, this review encompasses the main intrinsic properties of these polymers and their roles in the wound healing process, accompanied, whenever available, by explanations of the underlying mechanisms of action. It also addresses limitations and describes some studies on the effectiveness of isolated polymers in promoting skin regeneration and wound healing. Subsequently, we briefly discuss some application strategies of hydrogels derived from their intrinsic potential to promote the wound healing process. This can be achieved due to their role in the stimulation of angiogenesis, for example, or through the incorporation of substances like growth factors or drugs, such as antimicrobials, imparting new properties to the hydrogels. In addition to substance incorporation, the potential of hydrogels is also related to their ability to serve as a three-dimensional matrix for cell culture, whether it involves loading cells into the hydrogel or recruiting cells to the wound site, where they proliferate on the scaffold to form new tissue. The latter strategy presupposes the incorporation of biosensors into the hydrogel for real-time monitoring of wound conditions, such as temperature and pH. Future prospects are then ultimately addressed. As far as we are aware, this manuscript represents the first comprehensive approach that brings together and critically analyzes fundamental aspects of both natural and synthetic polymers constituting hydrogels in the context of cutaneous wound healing. It will serve as a foundational point for future studies, aiming to contribute to the development of an effective and environmentally friendly dressing for wounds.

Abstract
The skin is subject to damage from the surrounding environment. The repair of skin wounds can be very challenging due to several factors such as severe injuries, concomitant infections, or comorbidities such as diabetes. Different drugs and wound dressings have been used to treat skin wounds. Tissue engineering, a novel therapeutic approach, revolutionized the treatment and regeneration of challenging tissue damage. This field includes the use of synthetic and natural biomaterials that support the growth of tissues or organs outside the body. Accordingly, the demand for polymer-based therapeutic strategies for skin tissue defects is significantly increasing. Among the various 3D scaffolds used in tissue engineering, hydrogel scaffolds have gained special significance due to their unique properties such as natural mimicry of the extracellular matrix (ECM), moisture retention, porosity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and biocompatibility properties. First, this article delineates the process of wound healing and conventional methods of treating wounds. It then presents an examination of the structure and manufacturing methods of hydrogels, followed by an analysis of their crucial characteristics in healing skin wounds and the most recent advancements in using hydrogel dressings for this purpose. Finally, it discusses the potential future advancements in hydrogel materials within the realm of wound healing.

Abstract
Wound healing is an evolving and intricate technique that is vital to the restoration of tissue integrity and function. Over the past few decades, chitosan a biopolymer derived from chitin, became known as an emerging biomaterial in the field of healing wounds due to its distinctive characteristics including biocompatibility, biodegradability, affinity to biomolecules, and wound-healing activity. This natural polymer exhibits excellent healing capabilities by accelerating the development of new skin cells, reducing inflammation, and preventing infections. Due to its distinct biochemical characteristics and innate antibacterial activity, chitosan has been extensively researched as an antibacterial wound dressing. Chronic wounds, such as diabetic ulcers and liver disease, are a growing medical problem. Chitosan-based biomaterials are a promising solution in the domain of wound care. The article analyzes the depth of chitosan-based biomaterials and their impact on wound healing and also the methods to enhance the advantages of chitosan by incorporating bioactive compounds. This literature review is aimed to improve the understanding and knowledge about biomaterials and their use in wound healing.

Abstract
Chitosan has been commonly used as an adhesive dressing material due to its excellent biocompatibility, degradability, and renewability. Tissue adhesives are outstanding among wound dressings because they can close the wound, absorb excess tissue exudate from the wound site, provide a moist environment, and act as a carrier for loading various bioactive molecules. They have been widely used in both preclinical and clinical treatment of skin wounds. This review summarizes recent research progresses in the application of chitosan and its derivatives for tissue adhesives. We also introduce their biomedical effects on wound adhesion, contamination isolation, antibacterial, immune regulation, and wound healing, and the strategies to achieve these functions when used as wound dressings. Finally, challenges and future perspectives of chitosan-based tissue adhesives are discussed for wound healing.

Abstract
Managing severe bleeding, particularly in soft tissues and visceral injuries, remains a significant challenge in trauma and surgical care. Traditional hemostatic methods often fall short in wet and dynamic environments. This study addresses the critical issue of severe bleeding in soft tissues, proposing an innovative solution using a polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel combined with zinc oxide (ZnO). The developed hydrogel forms a dual-network structure through amide bonds and metal ion chelation, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties and adhesion strength. The hydrogel, exhibiting excellent biocompatibility, is designed to release zinc ions, promoting coagulation and accelerating hemostasis. Comprehensive characterization, including gelation time, rheological properties, microstructure analysis, and swelling behavior, demonstrates the superior performance of the PEG/ZnO hydrogel compared to traditional PEG hydrogels. Mechanical tests confirm increased compression strength and adhesive properties, which are crucial for withstanding tissue dynamics. In vitro assessments reveal excellent biocompatibility and enhanced procoagulant ability attributed to ZnO. Moreover, in vivo experiments using rat liver and tail bleeding models demonstrate the remarkable hemostatic performance of the PEG/ZnO hydrogel, showcasing its potential for acute bleeding treatment in both visceral and peripheral scenarios.

Abstract
Uncontrollable haemorrhage from deep, noncompressible wounds remains a persistent and intractable challenge, accounting for a very high proportion of deaths in both war and disaster situations. Recently, injectable hydrogels have been increasingly studied as potential haemostatic materials, highlighting their enormous potential for the management of noncompressible haemorrhages. In this review, we summarize haemostatic mechanisms, commonly used clinical haemostatic methods, and the research progress on injectable haemostatic hydrogels. We emphasize the current status of injectable hydrogels as haemostatic materials, including their physical and chemical properties, design strategy, haemostatic mechanisms, and application in various types of wounds. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of injectable hydrogels as haemostatic materials, as well as the opportunities and challenges involved. Finally, we propose cutting-edge research avenues to address these challenges and opportunities, including the combination of injectable hydrogels with advanced materials and innovative strategies to increase their biocompatibility and tune their degradation profile. Surface modifications for promoting cell adhesion and proliferation, as well as the delivery of growth factors or other biologics for optimal wound healing, are also suggested. We believe that this paper will inform researchers about the current status of the use of injectable haemostatic hydrogels for noncompressible haemorrhage and spark new ideas for those striving to propel this field forward.

Abstract
The care and rehabilitation of acute and chronic wounds have a significant social and economic impact on patients and global health. This burden is primarily due to the adverse effects of infections, prolonged recovery, and the associated treatment costs. Chronic wounds can be treated with a variety of approaches, which include surgery, negative pressure wound therapy, wound dressings, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. However, each of these strategies has an array of limitations. The existing dry wound dressings lack functionality in promoting wound healing and exacerbating pain by adhering to the wound. Hydrogels, which are commonly polymer-based and swell in water, have been proposed as potential remedies due to their ability to provide a moist environment that facilitates wound healing. Their unique composition enables them to absorb wound exudates, exhibit shape adaptability, and be modified to incorporate active compounds such as growth factors and antibacterial compounds. This review provides an updated discussion of the leading natural and synthetic hydrogels utilized in wound healing, details the latest advancements in hydrogel technology, and explores alternate approaches in this field. Search engines Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science were utilized to review the advances in hydrogel applications over the last fifteen years.

Abstract
Hydrogels with three-dimensional structures have been widely applied in various applications because of their tunable structures, which can be easily tailored with desired functionalities. However, the application of hydrogel materials in bioengineering is still constrained by their limited dosage flexibility and the requirement of invasive surgical procedures. Compared to traditional hydrogels, injectable hydrogels, with shear-thinning and/or in situ formation properties, simplify the implantation process and reduce tissue invasion, which can be directly delivered to target sites using a syringe injection, offering distinct advantages over traditional hydrogels. These injectable hydrogels incorporate physically non-covalent and/or dynamic covalent bonds, granting them self-healing abilities to recover their structural integrity after injection. This review summarizes our recent progress in preparing injectable hydrogels and discusses their performance in various bioengineering applications. Moreover, the underlying molecular interaction mechanisms that govern the injectable and functional properties of hydrogels were characterized by using nanomechanical techniques such as surface forces apparatus (SFA) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The remaining challenges and future perspectives on the design and application of injectable hydrogels are also discussed. This work provides useful insights and guides future research directions in the field of injectable hydrogels for bioengineering.

Abstract
The healing of diabetic wounds is hindered by various factors, including bacterial infection, macrophage dysfunction, excess proinflammatory cytokines, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and sustained hypoxia. These factors collectively impede cellular behaviors and the healing process. Consequently, this review presents intelligent hydrogels equipped with multifunctional capacities, which enable them to dynamically respond to the microenvironment and accelerate wound healing in various ways, including stimuli -responsiveness, injectable self-healing, shape -memory, and conductive and real-time monitoring properties. The relationship between the multiple functions and wound healing is also discussed. Based on the microenvironment of diabetic wounds, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic strategies are combined with multifunctional hydrogels. The application of multifunctional hydrogels in the repair of diabetic wounds is systematically discussed, aiming to provide guidelines for fabricating hydrogels for diabetic wound healing and exploring the role of intelligent hydrogels in the therapeutic processes.

Mild hyperthermia-assisted chitosan hydrogel with photothermal antibacterial property and CAT-like activity for infected wound healing. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 254:128027.

Abstract
Infected wounds pose a serious threat to public health and pose a significant challenge and financial burden worldwide. The treatment of infected wounds is now an urgent problem to be solved. Herein, mild hyperthermia-assisted hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs), oxidized dextran (Odex), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and PtNPs@PVP (CAT-like nanoenzymes) were proposed for the repair of infected wounds. The incorporation of PtNPs@PVP nanoenzymes give the hydrogels excellent photothermal property and CAT-like activity. When the temperature is maintained at 42-45 °C under 808 nm near infrared (NIR) exposure, the CMCs/Odex/EGCG/Nanoenzymes (COEN2) hydrogel demonstrated highly enhanced antibacterial ability (95.9 % in vivo), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging ratio (85.1 % in vitro) and oxygen supply (20.7 mg/L in vitro). Furthermore, this mild-heat stimulation also promoted angiogenesis in the damaged skin area. Overall, this multifunctional hydrogel with antibacterial, antioxidant, oxygen supply, hemostasis, and angiogenesis capabilities has shown great promise in the repair of infected wounds. This study establishes the paradigm of enhanced infected wound healing by mild hyperthermia-assisted H2O2 scavenging, oxygen supplemental, and photothermal antibacterial hydrogels.

N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan: Synthesis, characterization and application as a pH-responsive carrier for curcumin particles. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 256:128421.

Abstract
A pH-responsive amphiphilic chitosan derivative, N-lauric-O-carboxymethyl chitosan (LA-CMCh), is synthesized. Its molecular structures are characterized by FTIR, 1H NMR, and XRD methods. The influencing factors are investigated, including the amount of lauric acid (LA), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh), N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC), and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS), and their molar ratio, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the substitution. The degrees of substitution (DS) of the lauric groups on the -NH2 groups are calculated based on the integrated data of 1H NMR spectra. The optimum reaction condition is obtained as a reaction time of 6 h, a reaction temperature of 80 °C, and a molar ratio of lauric acid to O-carboxymethyl chitosan to N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride to N-hydroxysuccinimide of 1:3:4.5:4.5, respectively. The crystallinity and initial decomposition temperature of LA-CMCh decrease, but the maximum decomposition temperature increases. The crystallinity is reduced due to the introduction of LA and the degree of hydrogen bonding among LA-CMCh molecules. LA-CMCh could self-aggregate into particles, which size and critical aggregation concentration depend on the degree of substitution and medium pH. LA-CMCh aggregates could load curcumin up to 21.70 %, and continuously release curcumin for >200 min. LA-CMCh shows nontoxicity to fibroblast HFF-1 cells and good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli, indicating that it could be used as an oil-soluble-drug carrier.

Abstract
Uncontrollable acute bleeding and wound infection pose significant challenges in emergency treatment and surgical operations. Therefore, the research and development of highly efficient antibacterial hemostatic agents are of great importance in reducing the mortality rate among patients with massive hemorrhage. In this study, we utilized hydrophobically modified chitosan (HM-CS) and gallic acid chitosan (GA-CS) to create a composite sponge (HM/GA-CS) that exhibits complementary advantages. The composite sponge combines the alkyl chain and polyphenol structure, allowing it to adsorb blood cells and plasma proteins simultaneously. This synergistic effect was confirmed through various tests, including blood cell adhesion, plasma protein barrier behavior, and in vitro hemostatic testing. Furthermore, experiments conducted on a rat liver injury model demonstrated that the composite sponge achieved rapid coagulation within 52 s, resulting in significantly lower bleeding volume compared with traditional gauze. In addition, the incorporation of GA-CS into HM-CS enhanced the antibacterial properties of the composite sponge. The antibacterial rate of the composite sponge against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) reached 100 % and 98.2 %, respectively. To evaluate its biocompatibility, the composite sponge underwent blood compatibility and cell activity tests, confirming its suitability. The HM/GA-CS sponge holds promising applications in managing cases of massive hemorrhage.

Abstract
Bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties enable easier and safer treatment of wounds as compared to the traditional methods such as suturing and stapling. Composed of natural or synthetic polymers, these bioadhesives seal wounds and facilitate healing while preventing infections through the activity of locally released antimicrobial drugs, nanocomponents, or inherently antimicrobial polers. Although many different materials and strategies are employed to develop antimicrobial bioadhesives, the design of these biomaterials necessitates a prudent approach as achieving all the required properties including optimal adhesive and cohesive properties, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity can be challenging. Designing antimicrobial bioadhesives with tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties will shed light on the path for future advancement of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties. In this review, the requirements and commonly used strategies for developing bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties are discussed. In particular, different methods for their synthesis and their experimental and clinical applications on a variety of organs are reviewed. Advances in the design of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties will pave the way for a better management of wounds to increase positive clinical outcomes.

[PMID: 37747519 DOI: 10.1007/s00223-023-01130-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
Monotropein is one of the active ingredients in Morinda Officinalis, which has been used for the treatment in multiple bone and joint diseases. This study aimed to observe the in vitro effects of Monotropein on osteogenic differentiation of lipopolysaccharide treated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs), and the in vivo effects of local application of Monotropein on bone fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. Lipopolysaccharide was used to set up the inflammatory model in bMSCs, which were treated by Monotropein. Molecular docking analysis was performed to evaluate the potential interaction between Monotropein and p65. Transverse fractures of middle tibias were established in ovariectomized mice, and Monotropein was locally applied to the fracture site using injectable hydrogel. Monotropein enhanced the ability of primary bMSCs in chondro-osteogenic differentiation. Furthermore, Monotropein rescued lipopolysaccharide-induced osteogenic differentiation impairment and inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced p65 phosphorylation in primary bMSCs. Docking analysis showed that the binding activity of Monotropein and p65/14-3-3 complex is stronger than the selective inhibitor of NF-κB (p65), DP-005. Local application of Monotropein partially rescued the decreased bone mass and biomechanical properties of callus or healed tibias in ovariectomized mice. The expressions of Runx2, Osterix and Collagen I in the 2-week callus were partially restored in Monotropein-treated ovariectomized mice. Taking together, local application of Monotropein promoted fracture healing in ovariectomized mice. Inhibition of p65 phosphorylation and enhancement in osteogenesis of mesenchymal stem cells could be partial of the effective mechanisms.

Abstract
Excessive lipid intake is linked to an elevated risk of health problems. However, reducing lipid contents may influence food structure and flavor. Some alternatives are needed to control the lipid absorption. Emulsions are common carriers for lipids, which can control the hydrolysis and absorption of lipids. Chitin (Ch) and chitosan (CS) are natural polysaccharides with good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and unique cationic properties. They have been reported to be able to delay lipolysis, which can be regarded as one of the most promising agents that regulates lipid digestion (LiD). The application of Ch/CS and their derivatives in emulsions are summarized in this review with a focus on their performances and mechanisms for LiD regulation, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for the development of novel Ch/CS emulsions, and the regulation of LiD. A reasonable design of emulsion interface can provide its resistance to the external environment and then control LiD. The properties of emulsion interface are the key factors affecting LiD. Therefore, systematic study on the relationship between Ch/CS-based emulsion structure and LiD can not only instruct the reasonable design of emulsion interface to accurately regulate LiD, but also provide scientific guidelines for applying Ch/CS in functional food, medicine and other fields.

Abstract
The global increase of cutaneous wounds imposes huge health and financial burdens on patients and society. Despite improved wound healing outcomes, conventional wound dressings are far from ideal, owing to the complex healing process. Smart wound dressings, which are sensitive to or interact with changes in wound condition or environment, have been proposed as appealing therapeutic platforms to effectively facilitate wound healing. In this review, the wound healing processes and features of existing biomaterials are firstly introduced, followed by summarizing the mechanisms of smart responsive materials. Afterwards, recent advances and designs in smart and versatile materials of extensive applications for cutaneous wound healing were submarined. Finally, clinical progresses, challenges and future perspectives of the smart wound dressing are discussed. Overall, by mapping the composition and intrinsic structure of smart responsive materials to their individual needs of cutaneous wounds, with particular attention to the responsive mechanisms, this review is promising to advance further progress in designing smart responsive materials for wounds and drive clinical translation.

Abstract
In traumatized patients, the primary cause of mortality is uncontrollable continuous bleeding and unexpected intraoperative bleeding which is likely to increase the risk of complications and surgical failure. High expansion sponges are effective clinical practice for the treatment of wound bleeding (irregular/deep/narrow) that are caused by capillaries, veins and even arterioles as they possess a high liquid absorption ratio so can absorb blood platelets easily in comparison with traditional haemostasis treatments, which involve compression, ligation, or electrical coagulation etc. When in contact with blood, haemostatic sponges can cause platelet adhesion, aggregation, and thrombosis, preventing blood from flowing out from wounds, triggering the release of coagulation factors, causing the blood to form a stable polymerized fibre protein, forming blood clots, and achieving the goal of wound bleeding control. Haemostatic sponges are found in a variety of shapes and sizes. The aim of this review is to facilitate an overview of recent research around haemostatic sponge materials, products, and technology. This paper reviews the synthesis, properties, and characteristics of haemostatic sponges, together with the haemostasis mechanisms of haemostatic sponges (composite materials), such as chitosan, cellulose, gelatin, starch, graphene oxide, hyaluronic acid, alginate, polyethylene glycol, silk fibroin, synthetic polymers silver nanoparticles, zinc oxide nanoparticles, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, and silica nanoparticles. Also, this paper reviews commercial sponges and their properties. In addition to this, we discuss various in-vitro/in-vivo approaches for the evaluation of the effect of sponges on haemostasis.

Physicochemical and in vitro biological evaluation of an injectable self-healing quaternized chitosan/oxidized pectin hydrogel for potential use as a wound dressing material. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 242:124984.

Abstract
Injectable self-healing hydrogels are attractive materials for use as wound dressings. To prepare such hydrogels, the current study used quaternized chitosan (QCS) to improve the solubility and antibacterial activity and oxidized pectin (OPEC) to introduce aldehyde groups for Schiff's base reaction with the amine groups from QCS. Self-healing hydrogels were made by co-injection of polymer solutions at specific polymer concentrations and reagent ratios that optimized both Schiff's base reactions and ionic interactions. The optimal hydrogel displayed self-healing 30 min after cutting and continuous self-healing during continuous step strain analysis, rapid gelation (< 1 min), a storage modulus of 394 Pa, and hardness of 700 mN, and compressibility of 162 mN s. The adhesiveness of this hydrogel (133 Pa) was within a suitable range for application as a wound dressing. The extraction media from the hydrogel displayed no cytotoxicity to NCTC clone 929 cells and higher cell migration than the control. While the extraction media from the hydrogel was found not to have antibacterial properties, QCS was verified as having MIC50 of 0.04 mg/mL against both E. coli and S. aureus. Therefore, this injectable self-healing QCS/OPEC hydrogel has the potential use as a biocompatible hydrogel material for wound management.

Abstract
The increasing emergence of drug-resistant bacteria and bacteria-infected wounds highlights the urgent need for new kinds of antibacterial wound dressing. Herein, we reported a novel bio-adhesive and antibacterial hydrogel consisting of hydrophobically modified gelatin, oxidized konjac glucomannan, and dopamine. This kind of functional hydrogel was endowed with developed stability in a liquid environment and strong tissue adhesion, even much higher than the commercial fibrin glue to wounds. The excellent bacteria-killing efficiency of hydrophobically modified hydrogel against S. aureus and E. coli was verified, as well as the low hemolysis ratio against erythrocytes in vitro. The hydrogel also exhibited good cytocompatibility in terms of supporting cell proliferation. Most importantly, these abovementioned properties could be customized by altering the substitution degree of hydrophobic groups during manufacturing, demonstrating its great potential in biomedical fields such as tissue adhesive and wound dressing.

Abstract
Natural polymer hydrogels are widely used in various aspects of biomedical engineering, such as wound repair, owing to their abundance and biosafety. However, the low strength and the lack of function restricted their development and application scope. Herein, we fabricated novel multifunctional chitin/PEGDE-tannic acid (CPT) hydrogels through chemical- and physical-crosslinking strategies, using chitin as the base material, polyethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) and tannic acid (TA) as crosslinking agents, and 90 % ethanol as the regenerative bath. CPT hydrogels maintained a stable three-dimensional porous structure with suitable water contents and excellent biocompatibility. The mechanical properties of hydrogels were greatly improved (tensile stress up to 5.43 ± 1.14 MPa). Moreover, CPT hydrogels had good antibacterial, antioxidant, and hemostatic activities and could substantially promote wound healing in a rat model of full-thickness skin defect by regulating inflammatory responses and promoting collagen deposition and blood vessel formation. Therefore, this work provides a useful strategy to fabricate novel multifunctional CPT hydrogels with excellent mechanical, antibacterial, antioxidant, hemostatic, and biocompatible properties. CPT hydrogels could be promising candidates for wound healing.

Abstract
Although the past decade has witnessed unprecedented medical advances, achieving rapid and effective hemostasis remains challenging. Uncontrolled bleeding and wound infections continue to plague healthcare providers, increasing the risk of death. Various types of hemostatic materials are nowadays used during clinical practice but have many limitations, including poor biocompatibility, toxicity and biodegradability. Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in organisms that stick to objects or produce sticky substances. Indeed, applying biological adhesion properties to hemostatic materials remains an interesting approach. This paper reviews the biological behavior, bionics, and mechanisms related to hemostasis. Furthermore, this paper covers the benefits, challenges and prospects of biomimetic hemostatic materials.

POSS and SSQ Materials in Dental Applications: Recent Advances and Future Outlooks. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24054493. [PMID: 36901923 PMCID: PMC10003367 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24054493] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/11/2023] [Indexed: 03/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Recently, silsesquioxanes (SSQ) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) have gained much interest in the area of biomaterials, mainly due to their intrinsic properties such as biocompatibility, complete non-toxicity, the ability to self-assemble and to form a porous structure, facilitating cell proliferation, creating a superhydrophobic surface, osteoinductivity, and ability to bind hydroxyapatite. All the above has resulted in new developments in medicine. However, the application of POSS-containing materials in dentistry is still at initial stage and deserves a systematic description to ensure future development. Significant problems, such as reduction of polymerization shrinkage, water absorption, hydrolysis rate, poor adhesion and strength, unsatisfactory biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance of dental alloys, can be addressed by the design of multifunctional POSS-containing materials. Because of the presence of silsesquioxanes, it is possible to obtain smart materials that allow the stimulation of phosphates deposition and repairing of micro-cracks in dental fillings. Hybrid composites result in materials exhibiting shape memory, as well as antibacterial, self-cleaning, and self-healing properties. Moreover, introducing POSS into polymer matrix allows for materials for bone reconstruction, and wound healing. This review covers the recent developments in the field of POSS application in dental materials and gives the future perspectives within a promising field of biomedical material science and chemical engineering.

Abstract
Self-healing hydrogels have the ability to recover their original properties after the action of an external stress, due to presence in their structure of reversible chemical or physical cross-links. The physical cross-links lead to supramolecular hydrogels stabilized by hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic associations, electrostatic interactions, or host-guest interactions. Hydrophobic associations of amphiphilic polymers can provide self-healing hydrogels with good mechanical properties, and can also add more functionalities to these hydrogels by creating hydrophobic microdomains inside the hydrogels. This review highlights the main general advantages brought by hydrophobic associations in the design of self-healing hydrogels, with a focus on hydrogels based on biocompatible and biodegradable amphiphilic polysaccharides.

Abstract
The design and development of smart shape-adaptable wound dressings with superior antimicrobial ability remain a challenge in therapeutic and clinical application. Herein, polydopamine/tannic acid/chitosan/poloxamer 407/188 hydrogel (PTCPP) was prepared with the aim of developing an in situ-formed antibacterial wound dressing with temperature stimulation and near-infrared radiation (NIR) responsive ability. PTCPP possessed injectability, photothermal stability, sustained release properties and cytocompatibility. In vitro antibacterial results showed that the bactericidal rates of PTCPP against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) under NIR irradiation were 99.994 % and 99.91 %, respectively. In vivo experiments, PTCPP can adapt to shape of the wound, showing good adhesion, while promoting wound healing in bacterial infections. Therefore, PTCPP has potential application in the treatment of infectious wounds, and provides a strategic choice for developing antibacterial wound dressing combined with photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Genetically modified engineered microorganisms have been encapsulated in hydrogels and used as "living materials" for the treatment of skin diseases. However, their applications are often limited by the epidermal dry, nutrient-poor environment and cannot maintain functions stably for an expected sufficient time. To solve this problem, a photoautotrophic "living material" containing an engineered microbial consortium was designed and fabricated. The engineered microbial consortium comprised Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 for producing sucrose by photosynthesis and another heterotrophic engineered bacterium (Escherichia coli or Lactococcus lactis) that can utilize sucrose for the growth and secretion of functional biomolecules. These engineered microorganisms in the "living material" were proved to function stably for a longer time than only individual microbes. Subsequently, CXCL12-secreting engineered L. lactis was used to construct the "living material", and its effect on promoting wound healing was verified in a full-thickness rat-skin defect model. The wounds treated by our hydrogel-encapsulated engineered microbial consortium (HeEMC) healed faster, with a wound area ratio of only 13.2% at day 14, compared to the remaining 62.6, 51.4, and 40.8% of the control, PEGDA, and PEGDA/CS groups, respectively. In conclusion, we established an efficient living material HeEMC to offer promising applications in the treatment of skin diseases.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic process, and metabolic disturbances in the microenvironment of chronic wounds and the severe symptoms they cause remain major challenges to be addressed. The inherent properties of hydrogels make them promising wound dressings. In addition, biomembrane-based nanostructures and microstructures (such as liposomes, exosomes, membrane-coated nanostructures, bacteria and algae) have significant advantages in the promotion of wound healing, including special biological activities, flexible drug loading and targeting. Therefore, biomembrane-based nanostructure- and microstructure-loaded hydrogels can compensate for their respective disadvantages and combine the advantages of both to significantly promote chronic wound healing. In this review, we outline the loading strategies, mechanisms of action and applications of different types of biomembrane-based nanostructure- and microstructure-loaded hydrogels in chronic wound healing.

Multifunctional hydrogel with reactive oxygen species scavenging and photothermal antibacterial activity accelerates infected diabetic wound healing. Acta Biomater 2023; 155:199-217.

Abstract
Management of diabetic wound has long been a clinical challenge due to pathological microenvironment of excessive inflammation, persistent hyperglycemia, and biofilm infection caused by overdue reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and defective blood vessels. Herein, a multifunctional hydrogel with ROS scavenging and photothermal antibacterial activity based on oxidized dextran (Odex), gallic acid-grafted gelatin (GAG) and Ferric ion, named OGF, was developed for treatment of infected wound in a diabetic mouse. This hydrogel was double-crosslinked by the dynamically Schiff-base bonds formed between aldehyde groups in Odex and amino groups in GAG and the metal coordination bonds formed between Ferric ion and polyphenol groups or carboxyl groups in GAG, which endowed the resulted OGF hydrogel with well injectable, self-healing and adhesive properties. Due to the high-efficiency photothermal effect of Ferric ion/polyphenol chelate, this hydrogel killed Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli rapidly and completely within 3.5 min under near-infrared light radiation. Furthermore, this composed hydrogel presented good antioxidation, hemostasis and biocompatibility. It also remarkably accelerated the complete re‑epithelialization of Staphylococcus aureus‑infected wound in diabetic mice within 18 days by eliminating infection, mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, and facilitating angiogenesis. Therefore, the proposed multifunctional hydrogel exerts a great potential for translation in the clinical management of diabetic wounds. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: High reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and vascular defects in diabetic wounds can lead to excessive inflammation, persistent hyperglycemia, biofilm infection and other pathological microenvironments, which can further develop to the chronic wounds. In this study, we designed a multifunctional hydrogel with ROS-scavenging ability and photothermal antibacterial activity for the treatment of infected diabetic wound. As expected, this multifunctional hydrogel dressing highly accelerated the complete re‑epithelialization of Staphylococcus aureus‑infected wound in diabetic mouse by eliminating infection, mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation, as well as facilitating angiogenesis. This work provides a promising therapeutic strategy for infected diabetic wound by inhibition of oxidative stress and biofilm infection.

Abstract
Hemostasis and anti-infection are crucial for emergency treatment of severe trauma. Developing functional biomaterial with efficient hemostasis, antibacterial activity and wound healing is of great social significance and clinical value to fast stop bleeding and save lives, but it is still challenged. Here we designed a series of multifunctionalized SA/PDA cryogels by using two-step cross-linking of dopamine and sodium alginate. The resulting interpenetrating network structure had good swelling ratio, excellent mechanical and shape memory properties. Compared with cotton gauze and gelatin sponge, the cryogels exhibited excellent activation of coagulation cascade, more blood cells and platelet adhesion. Due to the action of polydopamine, the cryogel also showed good antioxidant activity and photothermal antibacterial ability assisted by near-infrared radiation, as well as better wound healing performance than gelatin sponge and Tegaderm™ film. Moreover, in the tests of mouse tail docking model, rat femoral artery hemostasis model and non-compressible rabbit liver defect model, the treatment by SA/PDA cryogels presented less blood loss and shorter hemostasis time than cotton gauze and gelatin sponge. Therefore, SA/PDA cryogels with simple preparation process, low cost, and good biocompatibility would be applied in the variety of great clinical applications in bleeding control, anti-infection and wound healing, etc.

Native human collagen type I provides a viable physiologically relevant alternative to xenogeneic sources for tissue engineering applications: A comparative in vitro and in vivo study. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2022; 110:2323-2337. [PMID: 35532208 PMCID: PMC11103545 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.35080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
Xenogeneic sources of collagen type I remain a common choice for regenerative medicine applications due to ease of availability. Human and animal sources have some similarities, but small variations in amino acid composition can influence the physical properties of collagen, cellular response, and tissue remodeling. The goal of this work is to compare human collagen type I-based hydrogels versus animal-derived collagen type I-based hydrogels, generated from commercially available products, for their physico-chemical properties and for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Specifically, we evaluated whether the native human skin type I collagen could be used in the three most common research applications of this protein: as a substrate for attachment and proliferation of conventional 2D cell culture; as a source of matrix for a 3D cell culture; and as a source of matrix for tissue engineering. Results showed that species and tissue specific variations of collagen sources significantly impact the physical, chemical, and biological properties of collagen hydrogels including gelation kinetics, swelling ratio, collagen fiber morphology, compressive modulus, stability, and metabolic activity of hMSCs. Tumor constructs formulated with human skin collagen showed a differential response to chemotherapy agents compared to rat tail collagen. Human skin collagen performed comparably to rat tail collagen and enabled assembly of perfused human vessels in vivo. Despite differences in collagen manufacturing methods and supplied forms, the results suggest that commercially available human collagen can be used in lieu of xenogeneic sources to create functional scaffolds, but not all sources of human collagen behave similarly. These factors must be considered in the development of 3D tissues for drug screening and regenerative medicine applications.

[PMID: 36246359 PMCID: PMC9561363 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.989180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Postoperative wound of perianal infectious disease represents a common but unique refractory wound in clinical practice. The reasons that hinder the wound healing process include not only the severe bacterial infection of the wound itself and the narrow and deep shape of the wound, but also its frequent bacterial contact. Therefore, the development of biofunctional dressings to aid in therapy is essential. In this study, we synthesized a new type of dressing comprising a hydrogel host based on the Schiff base principle and catechol groups between polydopamine, oxidized dextran, and quaternized chitosan, and then loaded it with traditional Chinese medicine molecules. These formed an integrated hydrogel for accelerated wound repair in a perianal infection model. The prepared hydrogels exhibited excellent wet tissue adhesion, antifouling, morphological variability, suitable swelling properties, and complete degradability, as well as remarkable contact antibacterial ability and the ability to rapidly scavenge free radicals. Hemostatic experiments showed excellent hemostatic properties, as the integrated hydrogel could instantly gel to seal the hemorrhage. Hemocompatibility and in vitro cell experiments showed that the integrated hydrogel had good biosafety and significantly promoted cell proliferation, which in turn accelerated the repair of infected whole cortexes in rats. A histomorphological evaluation showed that the integrated hydrogel promoted the recovery of normal anatomical tissue in rats by promoting the formation of collagen fibers and inhibiting inflammation. The results showed that this multifunctional integrated hydrogel has great potential for the treatment of continuously infected skin regeneration, providing a promising therapeutic strategy for postoperative wound healing in perianal infectious diseases.

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
Biomaterials with the ability to self-heal and recover their structural integrity offer many advantages for applications in biomedicine. The past decade has witnessed the rapid emergence of a new class of self-healing biomaterials commonly termed injectable, or printable in the context of 3D printing. These self-healing injectable biomaterials, mostly hydrogels and other soft condensed matter based on reversible chemistry, are able to temporarily fluidize under shear stress and subsequently recover their original mechanical properties. Self-healing injectable hydrogels offer distinct advantages compared to traditional biomaterials. Most notably, they can be administered in a locally targeted and minimally invasive manner through a narrow syringe without the need for invasive surgery. Their moldability allows for a patient-specific intervention and shows great prospects for personalized medicine. Injected hydrogels can facilitate tissue regeneration in multiple ways owing to their viscoelastic and diffusive nature, ranging from simple mechanical support, spatiotemporally controlled delivery of cells or therapeutics, to local recruitment and modulation of host cells to promote tissue regeneration. Consequently, self-healing injectable hydrogels have been at the forefront of many cutting-edge tissue regeneration strategies. This study provides a critical review of the current state of self-healing injectable hydrogels for tissue regeneration. As key challenges toward further maturation of this exciting research field, we identify (i) the trade-off between the self-healing and injectability of hydrogels vs their physical stability, (ii) the lack of consensus on rheological characterization and quantitative benchmarks for self-healing injectable hydrogels, particularly regarding the capillary flow in syringes, and (iii) practical limitations regarding translation toward therapeutically effective formulations for regeneration of specific tissues. Hence, here we (i) review chemical and physical design strategies for self-healing injectable hydrogels, (ii) provide a practical guide for their rheological analysis, and (iii) showcase their applicability for regeneration of various tissues and 3D printing of complex tissues and organoids.

Abstract
The development of hydrogel dressings provides unprecedented opportunities for clinical medicine. However, the traditional hydrogel dressings cannot achieve controllable adhesion and separation, which often brings unbearable pain and secondary damage to patients during removal. In this work, a starch-regulated adhesive hydrogel dressing with controllable separation properties is reported. This hydrogel dressing can achieve rapid separation through the dissociation competition mechanism of polar small molecules, which will not cause any damage or discomfort to the skin or tissues, and greatly facilitate dressing replacement. The adhesive strength of the hydrogel reaches 0.06 MPa, and remains relatively stable after repeated utilization. Meanwhile, the inhibition rate of the hydrogel for E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans is more than 99.9%. At the same time, the hydrogel also has good swelling properties, mechanical properties and biocompatibility, and exhibits a high healing efficiency (95.01 ± 3.76%) in a rat full-thickness skin defect model. This novel hydrogel dressing with controllable separation properties provides a facile and effective method for wound management and treatment, and has great promise for long-term application of wound dressings.

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
Designing expandable sponges with biodegradability and effective antibacterial properties are the urgent challenge for incompressible hemorrhage and wound healing. In the present investigation, based on quaternized gelatin (QG) and oxidized dextran (OD), a series of expandable sponges (ODQG) with high-water absorption capacity and robust mechanical properties were prepared. ODQG had good biodegradability in vitro and in vivo, and had inherent antibacterial activity (90% for E. coli and 99.74% for S. aureus). Due to the synergy effect of electrostatic interaction and blood concentration, ODQG could effectively attract and activate red blood cells/platelets and accelerate the coagulation process. Therefore, ODQG showed better hemostatic performance than Kuaikang® gelatin sponges and gauzes in incompressible hemorrhage model. Furthermore, ODQG could regulate inflammatory factor (TNF-α) and cytokines (TGF-β, VEGF), and greatly promote wound healing process. The biodegradable sponges with excellent antibacterial properties might have potential application prospect for incompressible hemostasis and wound healing in the future.

Abstract
Annually chronic liver diseases cause two million death worldwide. Although liver transplantation (LT) is still considered the best therapeutic option, the limited number of donated livers and lifelong side effects of LT has led researchers to seek alternative therapies. Tissue engineering (TE) as a promising method is considered for liver repair and regeneration. TE uses natural or synthetic scaffolds, functional somatic cells, multipotent stem cells, and growth factors to develop new organs. Biological scaffolds are notable in TE because of their capacity to mimic extracellular matrices, biodegradability, and biocompatibility. Moreover, natural scaffolds are classified based on their source and function in three separate groups. Hemostat-based scaffolds as the first group were reviewed for their application in coagulation in liver injury or surgery. Furthermore, recent studies showed improvement in the function of biological hydrogels in liver regeneration and vascularity. In addition, different applications of natural scaffolds were discussed and compared with synthetic scaffolds. Finally, we focused on the efforts to improve the performance of decellularized extracellular matrixes for liver implantation.

Abstract
Wound healing is an evolved dynamic biological process. Though many research and clinical approaches have been explored to restore damaged or diseased skin, the current treatment for deep cutaneous injuries is far from being perfect, and the ideal regenerative therapy remains a significant challenge. Of all treatments, bioengineered scaffolds play a key role and represent great progress in wound repair and skin regeneration. In this review, we focus on the latest advancement in biomaterial scaffolds for wound healing. We discuss the emerging philosophy of designing biomaterial scaffolds, followed by precursor development. We pay particular attention to the therapeutic interventions of bioengineered scaffolds for cutaneous wound healing, and their dual effects while conjugating with bioactive molecules, stem cells, and even immunomodulation. As we review the advancement and the challenges of the current strategies, we also discuss the prospects of scaffold development for wound healing.

Abstract
Skin is the largest organ in the body which plays different roles in maintaining hemostasis. Although this tissue has a high healing potential, severe skin wounds cannot heal without external interventions. Among various treatment strategies, tissue-engineered wound dressings have gained significant attention. In this regard, tremendous progress has been made in the field of tissue engineering to develop constructs with higher healing activities. Material selection and optimization are key factors in development of such dressings. Among different candidates, dextran-based wound dressings have been extensively studied. Dextran is a branched biological macromolecule which is composed of anhydroglucose monomers. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, modifiable functional groups, and proven clinical safety, dextran has found application in wound healing research. In the current review, applications, challenges, and future perspectives of dextran-based wound dressings will be discussed.
