Abstract
Hydrophilic and biocompatible hydrogels are widely applied as ideal scaffolds in tissue engineering. The "smart" gelation material can alter its structural, physiochemical, and functional features in answer to various endo/exogenous stimuli to better biomimic the endogenous extracellular matrix for the engineering of cells and tissues. Light irradiation owns a high spatial-temporal resolution, complete biorthogonal reactivity, and fine-tunability and can thus induce physiochemical reactions within the matrix of photoresponsive hydrogels with good precision, efficiency, and safety. Both gel structure (e.g., geometry, porosity, and dimension) and performance (like conductivity and thermogenic or mechanical properties) can hence be programmed on-demand to yield the biochemical and biophysical signals regulating the morphology, growth, motility, and phenotype of engineered cells and tissues. Here we summarize the strategies and mechanisms for encoding light-reactivity into a hydrogel and demonstrate how fantastically such responsive gels change their structure and properties with light irradiation as desired and thus improve their applications in tissue engineering including cargo delivery, dynamic three-dimensional cell culture, and tissue repair and regeneration, aiming to provide a basis for more and better translation of photoresponsive hydrogels in the clinic.

Abstract
Perception of UV radiation has important applications in medical health, industrial production, electronic communication, etc. In numerous application scenarios, there is an increasing demand for the intuitive and low-cost detection of UV radiation through colorimetric visual behavior, as well as the efficient and multi-functional utilization of UV radiation. However, photodetectors based on photoconductive modes or photosensitive colorimetric materials are not conducive to portable or multi-scene applications owing to their complex and expensive photosensitive components, potential photobleaching, and single-stimulus response behavior. Here, a multifunctional visual sensor based on the "host-guest photo-controlled permutation" strategy and the "lock and key" model is developed. The host-guest specific molecular recognition and electrochromic sensing platform is integrated at the micro-molecular scale, enabling multi-functional and multi-scene applications in the convenient and fast perception of UV radiation, military camouflage, and information erasure at the macro level of human-computer interaction through light-electrical co-controlled visual switching characteristics. This light-electrical co-controlled visual sensor based on an optoelectronic multi-mode sensing system is expected to provide new ideas and paradigms for healthcare, microelectronics manufacturing, and wearable electronic devices owing to its advantages of signal visualization, low energy consumption, low cost, and versatility.

Abstract
Cyclodextrin (CD)-based supramolecular hydrogels are polymer network systems with the ability to rapidly form reversible three-dimensional porous structures through multiple cross-linking methods, offering potential applications in drug delivery. Although CD-based supramolecular hydrogels have been increasingly used in a wide range of applications in recent years, a comprehensive description of their structure, mechanical property modulation, drug loading, delivery, and applications in biomedical fields from a cross-linking perspective is lacking. To provide a comprehensive overview of CD-based supramolecular hydrogels, this review systematically describes their design, regulation of mechanical properties, modes of drug loading and release, and their roles in various biomedical fields, particularly oncology, wound dressing, bone repair, and myocardial tissue engineering. Additionally, this review provides a rational discussion on the current challenges and prospects of CD-based supramolecular hydrogels, which can provide ideas for the rapid development of CD-based hydrogels and foster their translation from the laboratory to clinical medicine.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing, widely known as 3D printing, has revolutionized the production of biomaterials. While conventional 3D-printed structures are perceived as static, 4D printing introduces the ability to fabricate materials capable of self-transforming their configuration or function over time in response to external stimuli such as temperature, light, or electric field. This transformative technology has garnered significant attention in the field of biomedical engineering due to its potential to address limitations associated with traditional therapies. Here, we delve into an in-depth review of 4D-printing systems, exploring their diverse biomedical applications and meticulously evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. We emphasize the novelty of this review paper by highlighting the latest advancements and emerging trends in 4D-printing technology, particularly in the context of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Adhesive-caused injury is a great threat for extensive full-thickness skin trauma because extra-strong adhesion can incur unbearable pain and exacerbate trauma upon removal. Herein, inspired by the mussel, we designed and fabricated an adhesive antibacterial hydrogel dressing based on dynamic host-guest interaction that enabled on-demand stimuli-triggered removal to effectively care for wounds. In contrast with most hard-to-removable dressing, this adhesive antibacterial hydrogel exhibited strong adhesion property (85 kPa), which could achieve painless and noninvasive on-demand separation within 2 s through a host-guest competition mechanism (amantadine). At the same time, the hydrogel exhibited rapid self-healing properties, and the broken hydrogel could be completely repaired within 5 min. The hydrogel also had excellent protein adsorption properties, mechanical properties, antibacterial properties, and biocompatibility. This on-demand removal was facilitated by the introduction of amantadine as a competitive guest, without any significant adverse effects on cell activity (>90%) or wound healing (98.5%) in vitro. The full-thickness rat-skin defect model and histomorphological evaluation showed that the hydrogel could significantly promote wound healing and reduce scar formation by regulating inflammation, accelerating skin re-epithelialization, and promoting granulation tissue formation. These results indicate that the developed adhesive antibacterial hydrogel offers a promising therapeutic strategy for the healing of extensive full-layer skin injuries.

Abstract
Materials that are capable of undergoing self-repair following any physical damage or rupture due to external stimuli are identified as self-healing materials. Such materials are engineered by crosslinking the polymer backbone chains typically through reversible linkages. These reversible linkages include imines, metal-ligand coordination, polyelectrolyte interaction, disulfide, etc. These bonds are reversibly responsive to changes in various stimuli. Newer self-healing materials are now being developed in the field of biomedicine. Chitosan, cellulose, starch etc. are a few examples of polysaccharides that are generally used to synthesize such materials. Hyaluronic acid has been a very recent addition to the list of polysaccharides that are being investigated for construction of self-healing materials. It is non-toxic, non-immunogenic, has good gelation property and good injectability. Hyaluronic acid based self-healing materials are particularly employed for targeted drug delivery, protein and cell delivery, electronics, biosensors and many such biomedical applications. This review critically focuses on the functionalization of hyaluronic acid to fabricate self-healing hydrogels for biomedical applications. It also explores and sums up the mechanical data as well as self-healing efficiency of the hydrogels across wide range of interactions as discussed in the review below.

Abstract
Wound dressing with an improved structural and functional recapitulation of damaged organs, efficient self-healing and antibacterial properties that can well integrate with tissue are urgently needed in wound management. Supramolecular hydrogels confer control over structural properties in a reversible, dynamic and biomimetic fashion. Herein, a kind of injectable, self-healing and antibacterial supramolecular hydrogel with multi-responses were fabricated by mixing phenylazo-terminated Pluronic F127, quaternized chitosan-graft-cyclodextrin and polydopamine coated tunicate cellulose nanocrystals under physiological conditions. By exploiting the photoisomerization of azobenzene under different wavelengths, a supramolecular hydrogel featuring a changing crosslink density of network was obtained. The corporation of polydopamine coated tunicate cellulose nanocrystals strengthens the hydrogel network with Schiff base bonds and hydrogen bonds, which avoids complete gel-sol transition. The inherent antibacterial property, drug release behavior, self-healing ability, hemostatic performance and biocompatibility were investigated to confirm superiority in wound healing. Moreover, the curcumin loaded hydrogel (Cur-hydrogel) showed multi-responsive release profiles (light, pH, and temperature). A full-thickness skin defect model was built to confirm that Cur-hydrogels significantly accelerated wound healing rate with better granulation tissue thickness and collagen disposition. Overall, the novel photo-responsive hydrogel with coherent antibacterial property has great potential in the healthcare of wound healing.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), which contains multiple carboxyl, hydroxyl, and acetylamino groups and is an agent that targets tumors, has drawn great attention in supramolecular diagnosis and treatment research. It can not only assemble directly with macrocyclic host-guest complexes through hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions but also can be modified with macrocyclic compounds or functional guest molecules by an amidation reaction and used for further assembly. Macrocycles play a main role in the construction of supramolecular drug carriers, targeted imaging agents, and hydrogels, such as cyclodextrins and cucurbit[n]urils, which can encapsulate photosensitizers, drugs, or other functional guest molecules via host-guest interactions. Therefore, the formed supramolecular assemblies can respond to various stimuli, such as enzymes, light, electricity, and magnetism for controlled drug delivery, enhance the luminescence intensity of the assembly, and improve drug loading capacity. In addition, the nanosupramolecular assembly formed with HA can also improve the biocompatibility of drugs, reduce drug toxicity and side effects, and enhance cell permeability; thus, the assembly has extensive application value in biomedical research. This Account mainly focuses on macrocyclic supramolecular assemblies based on HA, especially their biological applications and progress in the field, and these assemblies include (i) guest-modified HA, such as pyridinium-, adamantane-, peptide-, and other functional-group-modified HA, along with their cyclodextrin and cucurbit[n]uril assemblies; (ii) macrocycle-modified HA, such as HA modified with cyclodextrins and cucurbit[n]uril derivatives and their assembly with various guests; (iii) direct assembly between unmodified HA and cyclodextrin- or cucurbit[n]uril-based host-guest complexes. Particularly, we discussed the important role of macrocyclic host-guest complexes in HA-based supramolecular assembly, and the roles included improving the water solubility and efficacy of hydrophobic drugs, enhancing the luminescent intensity of assemblies, inducing room temperature phosphorescence and providing energy transfer systems, constructing multi-stimulus-responsive supramolecular assemblies, and in situ formation of hydrogels. Additionally, we believe that obtaining in-depth knowledge of these HA-based macrocyclic supramolecular assemblies and their biological applications encompasses many challenges regarding drug carriers, targeted imaging agents, wound healing, and biomedical soft materials and would certainly contribute to the rapid development of supramolecular diagnosis and treatment.

The development of natural hydrogels with sufficient strength and self-healing capacity to accelerate skin wound healing is still challenging. Herein, a hyaluronic acid nanocomposite hydrogel was developed based on aldehyde-modified sodium hyaluronate (AHA), hydrazide-modified sodium hyaluronate (ADA), and aldehyde-modified cellulose nanocrystals (oxi-CNC). This hydrogel was formed in situ using dynamic acylhydrazone bonds via a double-barreled syringe. This hydrogel exhibited improved strength and excellent self-healing ability. Furthermore, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can be loaded in the hyaluronic acid nanocomposite hydrogels (ADAC) via imine bonds formed between amino groups on PRP (e.g., fibrinogen) and aldehyde groups on AHA or oxi-CNC to promote skin wound healing synergistically. As expected, ADAC hydrogel could protect and release PRP sustainably. In animal experiments, ADAC@PRP hydrogel significantly promoted full-thickness skin wound healing through enhancing the formation of granulation tissue, facilitating collagen deposition, and accelerating re-epithelialization and neovascularization. This self-healing nanocomposite hydrogel with PRP loading appears to be a promising candidate for wound therapy.

Abstract
Photosensitive supramolecular systems have garnered attention due to their potential to catalyze highly specific tasks through structural changes triggered by a light stimulus. The tunability of their chemical structure and charge transfer properties provides opportunities for designing and developing smart materials for multidisciplinary applications. This review focuses on the approaches reported in the literature for tailoring properties of the photosensitive supramolecular systems, including MOFs, MOPs, and HOFs. We discuss relevant aspects regarding their chemical structure, action mechanisms, design principles, applications, and future perspectives.

Abstract
A 3D microenvironment with dynamic cell-biomaterial interactions was developed using a dual-responsive system for in situ microenvironment remodeling and control of cellular function. A visible-light-responsive polymer was utilized to prepare a hydrogel with photodegradation properties, enabling in situ microenvironment remodeling. Additionally, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) gene activation unit that was responsive to the same wavelength of light was incorporated to support the potential application of the system in regenerative medicine. Following light exposure, the mechanical properties of the photodegradable hydrogel gradually deteriorated, and product analysis confirmed the degradation of the hydrogel, and thereby, 3D microenvironment remodeling. In situ microenvironment remodeling influenced stem cell proliferation and enlargement within the hydrogel. Furthermore, stem cells engineered to express light-activated VEGF and incorporated into the dual-responsive system were applied to wound healing and an ischemic hindlimb model, proving their potential application in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Multicharged cyclodextrin (CD) supramolecular assemblies, including those based on positively/negatively charged modified mono-6-deoxy-CDs, per-6-deoxy-CDs, and random 2,3,6-deoxy-CDs, as well as parent CDs binding positively/negatively charged guests, have been extensively applied in chemistry, materials science, medicine, biological science, catalysis, and other fields. In this review, we primarily focus on summarizing the recent advances in positively/negatively charged CDs and parent CDs encapsulating positively/negatively charged guests, especially the construction process of supramolecular assemblies and their applications. Compared with uncharged CDs, multicharged CDs display remarkably high antiviral and antibacterial activity as well as efficient protein fibrosis inhibition. Meanwhile, charged CDs can interact with oppositely charged dyes, drugs, polymers, and biomacromolecules to achieve effective encapsulation and aggregation. Consequently, multicharged CD supramolecular assemblies show great advantages in improving drug-delivery efficiency, the luminescence properties of materials, molecular recognition and imaging, and the toughness of supramolecular hydrogels, in addition to enabling the construction of multistimuli-responsive assemblies. These features are anticipated to not only promote the development of CD-based supramolecular chemistry but also contribute to the rapid exploitation of these assemblies in diverse interdisciplinary applications.
