Abstract
Transdermal patch for local drug delivery has attained huge attention as an attractive alternative to existing drug delivery techniques as it is painless and user-friendly. However, most adhesive hydrogels either do not have adequate adhesion with the skin or cause discomfort while being removed from the skin surface due to excessive adhesion. To address this challenge, we developed an adhesive hydrogel based on laponite-confined dopamine polymerization as a transdermal patch. Laponite RDS nanoclay was used to control the hydrogel's viscous behavior and dopamine polymerization. The laponite polymerized polydopamine (l-PDA) was incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) to make the PVA-l-PDA hydrogel. The laponite-confined polymerization improved the hydrogels' water contact angle and adhesion strength. The adhesion strength of the PVA-l-PDA hydrogel was adequate to adhere to the evaluated goat skin, glass, and polypropylene surfaces. Notably, the PVA-l-PDA hydrogel was easy to peel off from the skin. Further, we evaluated the drug release profile in goat skin using lidocaine as a model drug. We observed the controlled release of lidocaine from the PVA-l-PDA hydrogel compared to the PVA-PDA hydrogel. In addition, the nanoclay-confined adhesive hydrogel did not show any cytotoxic effect in fibroblasts. Altogether, PVA-l-PDA hydrogels offer appropriate adhesive strength, toughness, and biocompatibility. Thus, the PVA-l-PDA hydrogel has the potential to be an efficient transdermal patch.

Abstract
We demonstrate cell-substrate interaction on aluminium oxide thin-film in metal-insulator-metal structure followed by the change in dielectric characteristics of Al2O3 as a function of progression of cellular growth. The theoretical calculation of the fabricated biosensor reveals that the changes in the intrinsic elemental parameters are mainly attributed to the cell-induced behavioural changes.

Abstract
The traditional hydrogels are prone to break due to the applied stress. The deformation of the implanted hydrogels would result in the loss of structural integrity, leading to the failure of hydrogel functionalities and tissue regeneration. Self-healing hydrogels (AG-UPy), composed of oxidized alginate and ureidopyrimidinone-functionalized gelatin (G-UPy), were developed to address this challenge. These self-healing hydrogels possess two independent healing mechanisms, viz., Schiff base formation and UPy dimerization. These hydrogels were compared with oxidized alginate-gelatin (AG) hydrogels. AG-UPy hydrogels showed effective self-healing in a short time (about 2 min) after applying 800% strain, wherein recovery was not achieved with the AG hydrogel. However, the shear-thinning property of UPy made the AG-UPy hydrogel mechanically weaker than the AG hydrogel. To improve the mechanical strength of the AG-UPy hydrogel, we impregnated poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(urethane)/cloisite nanohybrid (PEG-PU/C) to prepare the AG-UPy/PEG-PU/C hydrogel. The incorporation of PEG-PU/C resulted in a 20-fold increase in the compression strength compared to that of the AG-UPy hydrogel. The AG-UPy/PEG-PU/C hydrogels also showed rapid self-healing. Incorporating the nanohybrid improved the cell proliferation by 2- and 1.25-fold compared to that of the AG and AG-UPy hydrogels, respectively. Therefore, PEG-PU/C combined with the UPy-functionalized polymer could be used to modulate mechanical strength and self-healing and enhance cell proliferation.

Abstract
Amyloids are a group of proteins that are capable of forming aggregated amyloid fibrils, which is responsible for many neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). In our previous study, synthesis and characterization of star-shaped poly(D,L-lactide)-b-gelatin (ss-pLG) have been reported. In the present work, we have extended our work to study ss-pLG against protein aggregation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the inhibition of amyloid fibrillation by protein grafted poly(D,L-lactide). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as the model protein, which readily forms fibril under high temperature. We found that ss-pLG efficiently suppressed the fibril formation of BSA compared with gelatin (Gel), which was supported by Thioflavin T assay, circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). In addition, ss-pLG significantly curtailed amyloid-induced hemolysis. We also found that incubation of ss-pLG with neuroblastoma cells (MC65) protected the cells from fibril-induced toxicity. The rescuing efficiency of ss-pLG was better than Gel, which could be attributed to the reduced lamella thickness in branched ss-pLG. These results suggest the significance of gelatin grafting, which probably allows gelatin to interact with the key residues of the amyloidogenic core of BSA effectively.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX) and docetaxel (DTX) are key members of taxanes with high anti-tumor activity against various cancer cells. These chemotherapeutic agents suffer from a number of drawbacks and it seems that low solubility in water is the most important one. Although much effort has been made in improving the bioavailability of PTX and DTX, the low bioavailability and minimal accumulation at tumor sites are still the challenges faced in PTX and DTX therapy. As a consequence, bio-based nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted much attention due to unique properties. Among them, chitosan (CS) is of interest due to its great biocompatibility. CS is a positively charged polysaccharide with the capability of interaction with negatively charged biomolecules. Besides, it can be processed into the sheet, micro/nano-particles, scaffold, and is dissolvable in mildly acidic pH similar to the pH of the tumor microenvironment. Keeping in mind the different applications of CS in the preparation of nanocarriers for delivery of PTX and DTX, in the present review, we demonstrate that how CS functionalized-nanocarriers and CS modification can be beneficial in enhancing the bioavailability of PTX and DTX, targeted delivery at tumor site, image-guided delivery and co-delivery with other anti-tumor drugs or genes.

Abstract
This work presents the separation performance of star-poly(ε-caprolactone) (star-PCL) as the stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography (GC). The statically coated star-PCL column showed a column efficiency of 3345 plates per m and moderate polarity. Importantly, the star-PCL column exhibited high selectivity and resolving capability for more than a dozen mixtures covering a wide-ranging variety of analytes and isomers. Among them, the star-PCL column displayed advantageous resolving capability over the commercial DB-1701 column for aromatic amine isomers such as toluidine, chloroaniline and bromoaniline. Moreover, it was applied for the determination of isomer impurities in real samples, showing good potential in GC applications.

Abstract
Surface properties are an essential feature in a wide range of functional materials. In this article, we summarize strategies developed in our group that employ nanoparticles and proteins as nanobricks to create thin-film coatings on surfaces. These coatings contain tailorable surface functionality based on the properties of the predesigned nanobricks, parlaying both the chemical and structural features of the precursor particles and proteins. This strategy is versatile, providing the rapid generation of both uniform and patterned coatings that provide "plug-and-play" customizable surfaces for materials and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Surface and mechanical properties of the biomaterials are determinants of cellular responses. In our previous study, star-shaped poly(d,l-Lactide)-b-gelatin (ss-pLG) was reported for possessing improved cellular adhesion and proliferation. Here, we extended our investigation to establish the cellular compatibility of gelatin-grafted PDLLA with respect to mechanical properties of biological tissues. In this view, linear PDLLA-b-gelatin (l-pLG) was synthesized and tissue-level compatibility of 1-pLG and ss-pLG against fibroblasts (L929), myoblasts (C2C12) and preosteoblasts (MG-63) was examined. The cell proliferation of C2C12 was significantly higher within l-pLG scaffolds, whereas L929 showed intensified growth within ss-pLG scaffolds. The difference in cell proliferation may be attributed to the varying mechanical properties of scaffolds; where the stiffness of l-pLG scaffolds was notably higher than ss-pLG scaffolds, most likely due to the variable levels of gelatin grafting on the backbone of PDLLA. Therefore, gelatin grafting can be used to modulate mechanical property of the scaffolds and this study reveals the significance of the matrix stiffness to produce the successful 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.
