Sticky and Strain-Gradient Artificial Epineurium for Sutureless Nerve Repair in Rodents and Nonhuman Primates. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2307810.

Abstract
The need for the development of soft materials capable of stably adhering to nerve tissues without any suturing followed by additional damages is at the fore at a time when success in postoperative recovery depends largely on the surgical experience and/or specialized microsuturing skills of the surgeon. Despite fully recognizing such prerequisite conditions, designing the materials with robust adhesion to wet nerves as well as acute/chronic anti-inflammation remains to be resolved. Herein, a sticky and strain-gradient artificial epineurium (SSGAE) that overcomes the most critically challenging aspect for realizing sutureless repair of severely injured nerves is presented. In this regard, the SSGAE with a skin-inspired hierarchical structure entailing strain-gradient layers, anisotropic Janus layers including hydrophobic top and hydrophilic bottom surfaces, and synergistic self-healing capabilities enables immediate and stable neurorrhaphy in both rodent and nonhuman primate models, indicating that the bioinspired materials strategy significantly contributes to translational medicine for effective peripheral nerve repair.

Abstract
Oxidation of polysaccharides can provide biomaterials with aldehyde and ketone functional groups, which are particularly useful in biomedical applications, like drug delivery, tissue adhesion and hydrogel preparation. However, despite their potential, only a few such methods have been reported, and achieving selective, quantitative oxidation of polysaccharides remains challenging. Herein we report utilization of a mild oxidant, Dess-Martin periodinane, for the chemoselective oxidation of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) and hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC). Our findings reveal that the oxidation of HPC is fast, efficient and achieves near-quantitative conversion. Moreover, both Ox-HPC and Ox-HEC exhibit low cell toxicity, and readily form hydrogels by reaction with a polypeptide comprising amino acids with amine-containing a-substituents, α-poly-l-lysine. The peptide/polysaccharide hydrogels display self-healing properties, injectability, and antimicrobial activity, making them highly attractive for biomedical applications including in wound dressings.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve transection has a high prevalence and results in functional loss of affected limbs. The current clinical treatment using suture anastomosis significantly limits nerve recovery due to severe inflammation, secondary damage, and fibrosis. Fibrin glue, a commercial nerve adhesive as an alternative, avoids secondary damage but suffers from poor adhesion strength. To address their limitations, a highly efficacious nerve adhesive based on dual-crosslinking of dopamine-isothiocyanate modified hyaluronic acid and decellularized nerve matrix is reported in this paper. This dual-network nerve adhesive (DNNA) shows controllable gelation behaviors feasible for surgical applications, robust adhesion strength, and promoted axonal outgrowth in vitro. The in vivo therapeutic efficacy is tested using a rat-based sciatic nerve transection model. The DNNA decreases fibrosis and accelerates axon/myelin debris clearance at 10 days post-surgery, compared to suture and commercial fibrin glue treatments. At 10 weeks post-surgery, the strong adhesion and bioactivity allow DNNA to significantly decrease intraneural inflammation and fibrosis, enhance axon connection and remyelination, aid motor and sensory function recovery, as well as improve muscle contraction, compared to suture and fibrin treatments. Overall, this dual-network hydrogel with robust adhesion provides a rapid and highly efficacious nerve transection treatment to facilitate nerve repair and neuromuscular function recovery.

Abstract
Tendon consists of soft collagen, yet it is mechanically strong and firmly adhered to the bone owing to its hierarchically anisotropic structure and unique tendon-to-bone integration (enthesis), respectively. Despite the recent advances in biomaterials, hydrogels simultaneously providing tendon-like high mechanical properties and strong adhesion to bone-mimicking enthesis is still challenging. Here, a strong, stiff, and adhesive triple-network (TN) anisotropic hydrogel that mimics a bone-adhering tendon is shown. The tough adhesive TN hydrogel is developed by combining imidazole-containing polyaspartamide (providing multiple hydrogen bonds to the bone surface) and energy-dissipative alginate-polyacrylamide double-network. To mimic the anisotropic structure and high mechanical properties of tendons, the bone-adhered TN hydrogel is linearly stretched and subsequently fixed via secondary cross-linking. The resulting hydrogel exhibits high tensile modulus and strength while maintaining a high bone adhesion without chemical modification of the bone surface. Furthermore, a bone-ligament-bone structure with strong bone adhesion reminiscent of the natural ligament is realized.

Abstract
Noncovalent interactions, which usually feature tunable strength, reversibility, and environmental adaptability, have been recognized as driving forces in a variety of biological and chemical processes, contributing to the recognition between molecules, the formation of molecule clusters, and the establishment of complex structures of macromolecules. The marriage of noncovalent interactions and conventional covalent polymers offers the systems novel mechanical, physicochemical, and biological properties, which are highly dependent on the binding mechanisms of the noncovalent interactions that can be illuminated via quantification. This review systematically discusses the nanomechanical characterization of typical noncovalent interactions in polymeric systems, mainly through direct force measurements at microscopic, nanoscopic, and molecular levels, which provide quantitative information (e.g., ranges, strengths, and dynamics) on the binding behaviors. The fundamental understandings of intermolecular and interfacial interactions are then correlated to the macroscopic performances of a series of noncovalently bonded polymers, whose functions (e.g., stimuli-responsiveness, self-healing capacity, universal adhesiveness) can be customized through the manipulation of the noncovalent interactions, providing insights into the rational design of advanced materials with applications in biomedical, energy, environmental, and other engineering fields.

Abstract
Adhesives have attracted extensive attention in biomedical applications in recent years. However, the development of adhesives with strong adhesion in both dry and underwater conditions and antibacterial properties is still a challenge. Herein, a biomimetic adhesive (DP@TA/Gel) was developed based on the adhesion mechanism of mussel in water, from adhesion and solidification to avoiding excessive oxidization processes. DP@TA/Gel exhibited rapid strong nonspecific adhesiveness to diverse materials including wood (485 kPa) metal (507 kPa), plastic (74 kPa), and even fresh biological tissue (39 kPa) in dry conditions. Specially, owing to its biomimetic design, DP@TA/Gel could imitate the mussel adhesion mechanism underwater, endowing it with robust (38 kPa), highly repeatable (at least 15 times) and long-term (at least 120 h) stable adhesion even in underwater conditions. Remarkably, DP@TA/Gel also exhibited high adhesiveness in various water environments, including seawater, and a wide range of pH (3-11) and NaCl concentration (0.9-10%) solutions without any stimulus. In addition, DP@TA/Gel showed excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. Thus, the DP@TA/Gel adhesive has appealing potential biomedical applications such as sutureless wound closure and as a tissue adhesive.

Abstract
Biomaterials have long been explored in regenerative medicine strategies for the repair or replacement of damaged organs and tissues, due to their biocompatibility, versatile physicochemical properties and tuneable mechanical cues capable of matching those of native tissues. However, poor adhesion under wet conditions (such as those found in tissues) has thus far limited their wider application. Indeed, despite its favourable physicochemical properties, facile gelation and biocompatibility, gellan gum (GG)-based hydrogels lack the tissue adhesiveness required for effective clinical use. Aiming at assessing whether substitution of GG by dopamine (DA) could be a suitable approach to overcome this problem, database searches were conducted on PubMed® and Embase® up to 2 March 2021, for studies using biomaterials covalently modified with a catechol-containing substituent conferring improved adhesion properties. In this regard, a total of 47 reports (out of 700 manuscripts, ~6.7%) were found to comply with the search/selection criteria, the majority of which (34/47, ~72%) were describing the modification of natural polymers, such as chitosan (11/47, ~23%) and hyaluronic acid (6/47, ~13%); conjugation of dopamine (as catechol “donor”) via carbodiimide coupling chemistry was also predominant. Importantly, modification with DA did not impact the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the biomaterials and resulting hydrogels. Overall, there is ample evidence in the literature that the bioinspired substitution of polymers of natural and synthetic origin by DA or other catechol moieties greatly improves adhesion to biological tissues (and other inorganic surfaces).

Abstract
For the past decades, several bioadhesives have been developed to replace conventional wound closure medical tools such as sutures, staples, and clips. The bioadhesives are easy to use and can minimize tissue damage. They are designed to provide strong adhesion with stable mechanical support on tissue surfaces. However, this monofunctionality of the bioadhesives hinders their practical applications. In particular, a bioadhesive can lose its intended function under harsh tissue environments or delay tissue regeneration during wound healing. Based on several natural and synthetic biomaterials, functional bioadhesives have been developed to overcome the aforementioned limitations. The functional bioadhesives are designed to have specific characteristics such as antimicrobial, cell infiltrative, stimuli-responsive, electrically conductive, and self-healing to ensure stability under harsh tissue conditions, facilitate tissue regeneration, and effectively monitor biosignals. Herein, we thoroughly review the functional bioadhesives from their fundamental background to recent progress with their practical applications for the enhancement of tissue healing and effective biosignal sensing. Furthermore, the future perspectives on the applications of functional bioadhesives and current challenges in their commercialization are also discussed.

Abstract
A variety of suture and bioglue techniques are conventionally used to secure engineered scaffold systems onto the target tissues. These techniques, however, confront several obstacles including secondary damages, cytotoxicity, insufficient adhesion strength, improper degradation rate, and possible allergic reactions. Adhesive tissue engineering scaffolds (ATESs) can circumvent these limitations by introducing their intrinsic tissue adhesion ability. This article highlights the significance of ATESs, reviews their key characteristics and requirements, and explores various mechanisms of action to secure the scaffold onto the tissue. We discuss the current applications of advanced ATES products in various fields of tissue engineering, together with some of the key challenges for each specific field. Strategies for qualitative and quantitative assessment of adhesive properties of scaffolds are presented. Furthermore, we highlight the future prospective in the development of advanced ATES systems for regenerative medicine therapies.

Acta Biomater 2021; 127:102-115. [PMID: 33813093 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2021.03.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 79] [Impact Index Per Article: 26.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2021] [Accepted: 03/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The most significant challenge in designing wound dressings is to mimic the tissue microenvironment because of the pro-regenerative structural and functional properties of skin. Herein, we developed a type of bionic extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels based on thiol-modified poly (γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA-SH) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (HA-CHO). The rapid and reversible thiol-aldehyde addition reaction of thiols in γ-PGA-SH and aldehyde groups in HA-CHO provided hydrogels with a dynamic covalent network and endowed them with properties of adaptability and self-healing capability, which are conducive for initial wound coverage and for prolonging the lifespan of the dressing. Interestingly, these hydrogels also showed typical viscoelastic characteristics similar to those of natural ECM, degradation property in vitro and in vivo, and free radical scavenging capability. In addition, the gelation time, rheological behavior, mechanical property, porous structure, and degradation process of the hydrogels could be tuned by adjusting polymer content. Furthermore, the ECM-inspired hydrogels significantly enhanced the wound healing process in vivo in a full-thickness skin defect model compared to those by commercial dressing (Tegaderm™) by facilitating angiogenesis and promoting collagen deposition. The successful application of the multifunctional hydrogel as an antioxidant wound dressing for wound treatment significantly exhibited its great application potential for biomedical areas. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The application of tissue engineering techniques to repair full-thickness skin wounds remains a great challenge in clinical trials. Among the recent approaches used for wound healing, in situ forming injectable hydrogels have gained much attention, and few of them have shown satisfactory overall performance, such as integration into the wound bed, biodegradability, immunocompatibility, vascularization, and recapitulation of the structure and function of skin. In the present study, we designed a simple and convenient in situ forming injectable adaptable self-healing hydrogels with biodegradability and antioxidative properties, which could substantially improve wound healing quality at an affordable cost. The hydrogel-based wound dressing is expected to solve the abovementioned problems and help in promoting cutaneous wound healing.

Abstract
Sutures, staples, clips and skin closure strips are used as the gold standard to close wounds after an injury. In spite of being the present standard of care, the utilization of these conventional methods is precarious amid complicated and sensitive surgeries such as vascular anastomosis, ocular surgeries, nerve repair, or due to the high-risk components included. Tissue adhesives function as an interface to connect the surfaces of wound edges and prevent them from separation. They are fluid or semi-fluid mixtures that can be easily used to seal any wound of any morphology - uniform or irregular. As such, they provide alternatives to new and novel platforms for wound closure methods. In this review, we offer a background on the improvement of distinctive tissue adhesives focusing on the chemistry of some of these products that have been a commercial success from the clinical application perspective. This review is aimed to provide a guide toward innovation of tissue bioadhesive materials and their associated biomedical applications.

Abstract
To enhance the angiogenic capacity of tissue-engineered peripheral nerves, we have constructed revascularized tissue-engineered nerves based on a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-heparin sustained release system. However, the effects of the repair of large peripheral nerve defects are not known. In this study, we used the above revascularized tissue-engineered nerve to repair large nerve defects in rats. The repair effects were observed through general observation, functional evaluation of nerve regeneration, ultrasound examination, neural electrophysiology, wet weight ratio of bilateral gastrocnemius muscle, histological evaluation, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The results showed that the tissue-engineered peripheral nerve based on a VEGF-heparin sustained release system can achieve early vascularization and restore blood supply in the nerve graft area. The realization of early vascularization in the area of the nerve defect greatly promotes the speed of nerve regeneration and reconstruction in the area of the nerve defect, which greatly advances the process of nerve repair and reconstruction and accelerates the restoration of the normal morphological structure and function of peripheral nerves.

Abstract
Multifunctional tissue adhesives with excellent adhesion, antibleeding, anti-infection, and wound healing properties are desperately needed in clinical surgery. However, the successful development of multifunctional tissue adhesives that simultaneously possess all these properties remains a challenge. We have prepared a novel chitosan-based hydrogel adhesive by integration of hydrocaffeic acid-modified chitosan (CS-HA) with hydrophobically modified chitosan lactate (hmCS lactate) and characterized its gelation time, mechanical properties, and microstructure. Tissue adhesion properties were evaluated using both pigskin and intestine models. In situ antibleeding efficacy was demonstrated via the rat hemorrhaging liver and full-thickness wound closure models. Good antibacterial activity and anti-infection capability toward S. aureus and P. aeruginosa were confirmed using in vitro contact-killing assays and an infected pigskin model. The result of coculturing with 3T3 fibroblast cells indicated that the hydrogels have no significant cytotoxicity. Most importantly, the biocompatible and biodegradable CS-HA/hmCS lactate hydrogel was able to close the wound in a sutureless way and promote wound healing. Our results demonstrate that this hydrogel has great promise for sutureless closure of surgical incisions.

Abstract
Hydrogels are a unique class of polymeric materials that possess an interconnected porous network across various length scales from nano- to macroscopic dimensions and exhibit remarkable structure-derived properties, including high surface area, an accommodating matrix, inherent flexibility, controllable mechanical strength, and excellent biocompatibility. Strong and robust adhesion between hydrogels and substrates is highly desirable for their integration into and subsequent performance in biomedical devices and systems. However, the adhesive behavior of hydrogels is severely weakened by the large amount of water that interacts with the adhesive groups reducing the interfacial interactions. The challenges of developing tough hydrogel-solid interfaces and robust bonding in wet conditions are analogous to the adhesion problems solved by marine organisms. Inspired by mussel adhesion, a variety of catechol-functionalized adhesive hydrogels have been developed, opening a door for the design of multi-functional platforms. This review is structured to give a comprehensive overview of adhesive hydrogels starting with the fundamental challenges of underwater adhesion, followed by synthetic approaches and fabrication techniques, as well as characterization methods, and finally their practical applications in tissue repair and regeneration, antifouling and antimicrobial applications, drug delivery, and cell encapsulation and delivery. Insights on these topics will provide rational guidelines for using nature's blueprints to develop hydrogel materials with advanced functionalities and uncompromised adhesive properties.

Abstract
Strong glue of mussels has long been considered as an ideal model to design synthetic bio-adhesives but the adhesive strength of metal-crosslinked mussel-inspired glues is not often satisfactory. Herein, inspired by the adhesive environment of mussels, we obtained metal-crosslinked ε-poly-L-lysine adhesives with high adhesive performance by introducing the elements of suitable adhesive environment (SAE) into the adhesives. The elements of SAE were clarified as weak alkaline conditions (pH ∼ 7.4) and low Fe3+ contents. The adhesive strength (∼105 kPa) of the metal-crosslinked adhesives endowed with the elements of SAE (PL-Cat/Fe-SAE) was about 8 times higher than that of fibrin glues. The high adhesive strength was found to originate from distinctive interfacial adhesion and cohesion strength of PL-Cat/Fe-SAE. PL-Cat/Fe-SAE showed strong interfacial adhesion capacity and nearly comparable cohesion strength to those PL-Cat/Fe adhesives with higher Fe3+ contents. The nearly comparable cohesion strength of PL-Cat/Fe-SAE was then found to be due to more amount of stable tris-complex existed in PL-Cat/Fe-SAE. In addition, PL-Cat/Fe-SAE was able to efficiently close the full thickness skin incisions. The study highlighted the importance of introducing SAE elements into the design of tissue adhesives and provided a facile and efficient strategy for constructing tissue adhesives with high adhesive performance.

Abstract
The goal of the present work was to characterize a hydrogel material for localized spinal cord delivery. To address spinal cord injuries, an injectable in situ gelling system was tested utilizing a simple, effective, and rapid cross-linking method via Michael addition. Thiolated chitosan material and maleimide-terminated polyethylene glycol material were mixed to form a hydrogel and evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Three distinct thiolated chitosan precursors were made by varying reaction conditions; a modification of chitosan with Traut's reagent (2-iminothiolane) displayed the most attractive hydrogel properties once mixed with polyethylene glycol. The final hydrogel chosen for animal testing had a swelling ratio (Q) of 57.5 ± 3.4 and elastic modulus of 378 ± 72 Pa. After confirming low cellular toxicity in vitro, the hydrogel was injected into the spinal cord of rats for 1 and 2 weeks to assess host reaction. The rats displayed no overt functional deficits due to injection following initial surgical recovery and throughout the 2-week period after for both the saline-injected sham group and hydrogel-injected group. The saline and hydrogel-injected animals both showed a similar response from ED1+ microglia and GFAP overexpression. No significant differences were found between saline-injected and hydrogel-injected groups for any of the measures studied, but there was a trend toward decreased affected area size from 1 to 2 weeks in both groups. Access to the central nervous system is limited by the blood-brain barrier for noninvasive therapies; further development of the current system for localized drug or cellular delivery has the potential to shape treatments of spinal cord injury.

Abstract
Hydrogel was not only used as an effective support matrix to prevent intrauterine adhesion after endometrial injury but also served as scaffold to sustain release of some therapeutics, especially growth factor. However, because of the rapid turnover of the endometrial mucus, the poor retention and bad absorption of therapeutic agents in damaged endometrial cavity were two important factors hindering their pharmacologic effect. Herein, a mucoadhesive hydrogel was described by using heparin-modified poloxamer (HP) as the matrix material and ε-polylysine (EPL) as functional excipient. Various EPL-HP hydrogels formulations are screened by rheological evaluation and mucoadhesion studies. It was found that the rheological and mucoadhesive properties of EPL-HP hydrogels were easily controlled by changing the amount of EPL in formulation. The storage modulus of EPL-HP hydrogel with 90 μg/mL of EPL (EPL-HP-90) was elevated to be 1.9 × 105 Pa, in accordance with the adhesion force rising to 3.18 N (10-fold higher than HP hydrogels). Moreover, in vitro release of model drug keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) from EPL-HP hydrogel was significantly accelerated by adding EPL in comparison with HP hydrogel. Both strong mucoadhesive ability and the accelerated drug release behavior for EPL-HP-90 made more of the encapsulated KGF absorbed by the uterus basal layer and endometrial glands after 8 h of administration in uterus cavity. Meanwhile, the morphology of endometrium in the injured uterus was repaired well after 3 d of treatment with KGF-EPL-HP-90 hydrogels. Compared with KGF-HP group, not only proliferation of endometrial epithelial cell and glands but also angiogenesis in the regenerated endometrium was obviously enhanced after treatment with KGF-EPL-HP-90 hydrogels. Alternatively, the cellular apoptosis in the damaged endometrium was significantly inhibited after treatment with KGF-EPL-HP-90 hydrogels. Overall, the mucoadhesive EPL-HP hydrogel with a suitable KGF release profile may be a more promising approach than HP hydrogel alone to repair the injured endometrium.
