Abstract
Traditional hydrogels are usually weak and brittle, which limit their application in articular cartilage replacement because cartilage is generally strong, tough, and elastic in nature. Therefore, it is highly desirable to construct hydrogels to mimic the mechanical properties of the native articular cartilage. Herein, in this work, poly(vinyl alcohol)/polyacrylamide (PVA/PAM) DN hydrogels were prepared by in situ polymerization, which were then treated with Hofmeister series ions (Cit3-, SO42-, and Cl-) to achieve H-PVA/PAM DN hydrogels. Among the three Hofmeister ions, the DN hydrogel treated with Cit3- (named PVA/PAM-Cit) showed the densest microstructure and the highest crystallinity degree. In this context, PVA/PAM-Cit exhibited a tensile strength of 18.9 ± 1.6 MPa, a compressive strength of 102.3 ± 7.9 MPa, a tensile modulus of 10.6 ± 2.1 MPa, a compressive modulus of 8.9 ± 0.8 MPa, and a roughness of 66.2 ± 4.2 MJ m-3, respectively, which were the highest strength and modulus, and the second highest toughness when compared with those of the reported PVA and PVA based DN hydrogels so far. It also showed an extreme high elasticity, which could maintain a stress of 99.2% after 500 cycles of fatigue testing. Additionally, PVA/PAM-Cit can promote the adhesion, spreading and proliferation of chondrocytes. These results verify that such a strong, tough, and elastic hydrogel could be a novel candidate material for articular cartilage replacement.

Abstract
With the gradual demographic shift toward an aging and obese society, an increasing number of patients are suffering from bone and cartilage injuries. However, conventional therapies are hindered by the defects of materials, failing to adequately stimulate the necessary cellular response to promote sufficient cartilage regeneration, bone remodeling and osseointegration. In recent years, the rapid development of nanomedicine has initiated a revolution in orthopedics, especially in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, due to their capacity to effectively stimulate cellular responses on a nanoscale with enhanced drug loading efficiency, targeted capability, increased mechanical properties and improved uptake rate, resulting in an improved therapeutic effect. Therefore, a comprehensive review of advancements in nanomedicine for bone and cartilage diseases is timely and beneficial. This review firstly summarized the wide range of existing nanotechnology applications in the medical field. The progressive development of nano delivery systems in nanomedicine, including nanoparticles and biomimetic techniques, which are lacking in the current literature, is further described. More importantly, we also highlighted the research advancements of nanomedicine in bone and cartilage repair using the latest preclinical and clinical examples, and further discussed the research directions of nano-therapies in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is becoming an effective strategy for repairing cartilage damage. Synthesized nanocomposite hydrogels mimic the structure of natural cartilage extracellular matrices (ECMs), are biocompatible, and exhibit nano-bio effects in response to external stimuli. These inherent characteristics make nanocomposite hydrogels promising scaffold materials for cartilage tissue engineering. This review summarizes the advances made in the field of nanocomposite hydrogels for artificial cartilage. We discuss, in detail, their preparation methods and scope of application. The challenges involved for the application of hydrogel nanocomposites for cartilage repair are also highlighted.

Abstract
Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels are considered promising artificial articular cartilage. However, the weak attachment between PVA hydrogels and subchondral bone limit its application in the biomedical field. In this article, we present a new method to improve the mineralization of PVA hydrogels, and fabricate PVA hydrogels with continuously graded hydroxyapatite coating. The surface of the hydrogels was modified by dopamine self-polymerization and alendronate conjugation subsequently. Based on these, we used simulated body fluids to mineralize the hydrogels to mimic calcified cartilage zone. The modified surface of the PVA hydrogels showed excellent mineralization ability with continuously graded hydroxyapatite (HA). As the main component of human bones, HA can be chemically bonded body tissue on the interface, showing great biological activity. With the content of HA increasing, the cell adhesion ability of the hydrogels was enhanced, which helped the hydrogels integrate tightly with subchondral bone. These results demonstrate that the modified hydrogels could be promising substitutes for articular cartilage.

Abstract
Nanocomposite double-network hydrogels (ncDN hydrogels) have been demonstrated as promising biomaterials to present several desired properties (e.g., high mechanical strength, stimuli-responsiveness, and local therapy) for biomedicine. Here, a new type of ncDN hydrogels featuring definable microstructures and properties as well as multistimuli responsiveness for controlled release applications is developed. Amine-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (IOPs_NH2 ) are used as nanoparticle cross-linkers to simultaneously connect the dual networks of gelatin (Gel) and polydextran aldehyde (PDA) through hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and dynamic imine bonds. The pH- and temperature-responsive Gel/PDA/IOP_NH2 ncDN hydrogels present a fast release profile of proteins at acidic pH and high temperature. Besides, IOP_NH2 also contributes the magnetic-responsiveness to the ncDN hydrogels, allowing the use of magnetic field to generate heat to facilitate the structural change of hydrogels and the subsequent applications. Taken together, a versatile ncDN hydrogel platform capable of multistimuli responsiveness and local heating for controlled release is developed for advanced biomedical applications.
