Abstract
Biopolymeric implantable patches are popular scaffolds for myocardial regeneration applications. Besides being biocompatible, they can be tailored to have required properties and functionalities for this application. Recently, fibrillar biobased nanostructures prove to be valuable in the development of functional biomaterials for tissue regeneration applications. Here, periodate-oxidized nanofibrillated cellulose (OxNFC) is blended with lysozyme amyloid nanofibrils (LNFs) to prepare a self-crosslinkable patch for myocardial implantation. The OxNFC:LNFs patch shows superior wet mechanical properties (60 MPa for Young's modulus and 1.5 MPa for tensile stress at tensile strength), antioxidant activity (70% scavenging activity under 24 h), and bioresorbability ratio (80% under 91 days), when compared to the patches composed solely of NFC or OxNFC. These improvements are achieved while preserving the morphology, required thermal stability for sterilization, and biocompatibility toward rat cardiomyoblast cells. Additionally, both OxNFC and OxNFC:LNFs patches reveal the ability to act as efficient vehicles to deliver spermine modified acetalated dextran nanoparticles, loaded with small interfering RNA, with 80% of delivery after 5 days. This study highlights the value of simply blending OxNFC and LNFs, synergistically combining their key properties and functionalities, resulting in a biopolymeric patch that comprises valuable characteristics for myocardial regeneration applications.

Abstract
Bioengineered composite hydrogel platforms made of a supramolecular coassembly have recently garnered significant attention as promising biomaterial-based healthcare therapeutics. The mechanical durability of amyloids, in conjunction with the structured charged framework rendered by biologically abundant key ECM component glycosaminoglycan, enables us to design minimalistic customized biomaterial suited for stimuli responsive therapy. In this study, by harnessing the heparin sulfate-binding aptitude of amyloid fibrils, we have constructed a pH-responsive extracellular matrix (ECM) mimicking hydrogel matrix. This effective biocompatible platform comprising heparin sulfate-amyloid coassembled hydrogel embedded with polyphenol functionalized silver nanoparticles not only provide a native skin ECM-like conductive environment but also provide wound-microenvironment responsive on-demand superior antibacterial efficacy for effective diabetic wound healing. Interestingly, both the cytocompatibility and antibacterial properties of this bioinspired matrix can be fine-tuned by controlling the mutual ratio of heparin sulfate-amyloid and incubated silver nanoparticle components, respectively. The designed biomaterial platform exhibits notable effectiveness in the treatment of chronic hyperglycemic wounds infected with multidrug-resistant bacteria, because of the integration of pH-responsive release characteristics of the incubated functionalized AgNP and the antibacterial amyloid fibrils. In addition to this, the aforementioned assemblage shows exceptional hemocompatibility with significant antibiofilm and antioxidant characteristics. Histological evidence of the incised skin tissue sections indicates that the fabricated composite hydrogel is also effective in controlling pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL6 and TNFα expressions at the wound vicinity with significant upregulation of angiogenesis markers like CD31 and α-SMA.

Abstract
In recent years, biopolymer-based nano-drug delivery systems with antioxidative properties have gained significant attention in the field of pharmaceutical research. These systems offer promising strategies for targeted and controlled drug delivery while also providing antioxidant effects that can mitigate oxidative stress-related diseases. Generally, the healthcare landscape is constantly evolving, necessitating the continual development of innovative therapeutic approaches and drug delivery systems (DDSs). DDSs play a pivotal role in enhancing treatment efficacy, minimizing adverse effects, and optimizing patient compliance. Among these, nanotechnology-driven delivery approaches have garnered significant attention due to their unique properties, such as improved solubility, controlled release, and targeted delivery. Nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanotubes, etc., offer versatile platforms for drug delivery and tissue engineering applications. Additionally, biopolymer-based DDSs hold immense promise, leveraging natural or synthetic biopolymers to encapsulate drugs and enable targeted and controlled release. These systems offer numerous advantages, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low immunogenicity. The utilization of polysaccharides, polynucleotides, proteins, and polyesters as biopolymer matrices further enhances the versatility and applicability of DDSs. Moreover, substances with antioxidative properties have emerged as key players in combating oxidative stress-related diseases, offering protection against cellular damage and chronic illnesses. The development of biopolymer-based nanoformulations with antioxidative properties represents a burgeoning research area, with a substantial increase in publications in recent years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the recent developments within this area over the past five years. It discusses various biopolymer materials, fabrication techniques, stabilizers, factors influencing degradation, and drug release. Additionally, it highlights emerging trends, challenges, and prospects in this rapidly evolving field.

Abstract
Cell therapy using chondrocytes has shown promise for cartilage regeneration, but maintaining functional characteristics during in vitro culture and ensuring survival after transplantation are challenges. Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture methods, such as spheroid culture, and hydrogels can improve cell survival and functionality. In this study, a new method of culturing spheroids using hyaluronic acid (HA) microparticles was developed. The spheroids mixed with HA microparticles effectively maintained the functional characteristics of chondrocytes during in vitro culture, resulting in improved cell survival and successful cartilage formation in vivo following transplantation. This new method has the potential to improve cell therapy production for cartilage regeneration.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases, particularly myocardial infarction (MI), remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Current treatments for MI, more palliative than curative, have limitations in reversing the disease completely. Tissue engineering (TE) has emerged as a promising strategy to address this challenge and may lead to improved therapeutic approaches for MI. Gelatin-based scaffolds, including gelatin and its derivative, gelatin methacrylate (GelMA), have attracted significant attention in cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) due to their optimal physical and biochemical properties and capacity to mimic the native extracellular matrix (ECM). CTE mainly recruits two classes of gelatin/GelMA-based scaffolds: hydrogels and nanofibrous. This article reviews state-of-the-art gelatin/GelMA-based hybrid scaffolds currently applied for CTE and regenerative therapy. Hybrid scaffolds, fabricated by combining gelatin/GelMA hydrogel or nanofibrous scaffolds with other materials such as natural/synthetic polymers, nanoparticles, protein-based biomaterials, etc., are explored for enhanced cardiac tissue regeneration functionality. The engraftment of stem/cardiac cells, bioactive molecules, or drugs into these hybrid systems shows great promise in cardiac tissue repair and regeneration. Finally, the role of gelatin/GelMA scaffolds combined with the 3D bioprinting strategy in CTE will also be briefly highlighted.

Abstract
Natural small molecules have demonstrated tremendous potential for the construction of supramolecular chiral nanostructures owing to their unique molecular structures and chirality. In this study, novel CO2-responsive supramolecular hydrogels were constructed using a series of rosin-based surfactants (CnMPAN, n = 10, 12, and 14). The macroscopic properties, rheological properties, nanostructures, and intermolecular interactions of the hydrogels were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry, rotational rheometry, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Interestingly, diverse nanostructures containing helical nanofibers, interwoven nanofibers, and twisted nanoribbons were formed in the hydrogels, which were rarely observed in reported supramolecular hydrogels, and the strength of the hydrogels was significantly enhanced by increasing the CnMPAN concentration and the alkyl chain length. The obtained hydrogels exhibited excellent CO2-responsiveness, with no obvious variation in the nanostructures and rheological properties after response to CO2/N2 for five cycles. Taking advantage of the chiral nanostructures of hydrogels, gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were further prepared. The average particle sizes of the resulting GNPs were as low as 2.5 nm, and the GNPs also had a chiral structure. It is worth noting that no additional reductants and UV-light irradiation were used during the reduction process of GNPs. This study emphasizes that the unique molecular structure and chirality of rosin are critical for the preparation of hydrogels with chiral nanostructures. In addition, this study enriches the applications of forest resources.

Abstract
There are many studies on specific macromolecules and their contributions to tissue repair. Macromolecules have supporting and protective effects in organisms and can help regrow, reshape, and promote self-repair and regeneration of damaged tissues. Macromolecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides, can be constructed into hydrogels for the preparation of slow-release drug agents, carriers for cell culture, and platforms for gene delivery. Hydrogels and microspheres are fabricated by chemical crosslinking or mixed co-deposition often used as scaffolds, drug carriers, or cell culture matrix, provide proper mechanical support and nutrient delivery, a well-conditioned environment that to promote the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the construction of macromolecules into hydrogels and microspheres based on the proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and other polymer and their application in tissue repair. We then discuss the latest research trends regarding the advantages and disadvantages of these composites in repair tissue. Further, we examine the applications of microspheres/hydrogels in different tissue repairs, such as skin tissue, cartilage, tumor tissue, synovial, nerve tissue, and cardiac repair. The review closes by highlighting the challenges and prospects of microspheres/hydrogels composites.
