Abstract
Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (CuAAC) - commonly known as the "click reaction" - serves as the most effective and highly reliable tool for facile construction of simple to complex designs at the molecular level. It relates to the formation of carbon heteroatomic systems by joining or clicking small molecular pieces together with the help of various organic reactions such as cycloaddition, conjugate addition, ring-opening, etc. Such dynamic strategy results in the generation of triazole and its derivatives from azides and alkynes with three nitrogen atoms in the five-membered aromatic azole ring that often forms gel-assembled structures having gelating properties. These scaffolds have led to prominent applications in designing advanced soft materials, 3D printing, ion sensing, drug delivery, photonics, separation, and purification. In this review, we mainly emphasize the different mechanistic aspects of triazole formation, which includes the synthesis of sugar-based and non-sugar-based triazoles, and their gel applications reported in the literature for the past ten years, as well as the upcoming scope in different branches of applied sciences.

Abstract
It is proved that L-guanosine (L-G) as an enantiomer of D-guanosine (D-G) forms more stable gels than D-G, suggesting that alteration of chirality may be a new strategy for improving the lifetime stability of supramolecular hydrogels. Experiments for three-dimensional cell culture reveal that the L-G gel is a candidate for the extracellular matrix.

Abstract
In this study, a new sulfidated nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) supported on hydrogel (S-nZVI@H) was successfully synthesized for the removal of chromium (Cr) (VI) from groundwater. The surface morphology, dispersion phenomenon and functional groups of novel S-nZVI@H were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Box-Behnken design (BBD) optimization technology based on response surface methodology (RSM) is applied to demonstrate the influence of the interaction of S-nZVI@H dose, initial Cr(VI) concentration, contact time, and initial pH with the Cr(VI) removal efficiency. The analysis of variance results (F = 118.73, P < 0.0001, R2 = 0.9916) show that the quadratic polynomial model is significant enough to reflect the close relationship between the experimental and predicted values. The predicted optimum removal conditions are: S-nZVI@H dose 9.46 g/L, initial Cr(VI) concentration 30 mg/L, contact time 40.7 min, and initial pH 5.27, and the S-nZVI@H dose is the key factor affecting the removal of Cr(VI). The predicted value (99.76%) of Cr (VI) removal efficiency is in good agreement with the experimental value (97.75%), which verifies the validity of the quadratic polynomial model. This demonstrates that RSM with appropriate BBD can be utilized to optimize the design of experiments for removal of Cr(VI).

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry has garnered important interest in recent years toward improving therapeutic efficacy via drug delivery approaches. Although self-assemblies have been deeply investigated, the design of novel drugs leveraging supramolecular chemistry is less known. In this contribution, we show that a Low Molecular Weight Gel (LMWG) can elicit cancer cell apoptosis. This biological effect results from the unique supramolecular properties of a bolaamphiphile-based gelator, which allow for strong interaction with the lipid membrane. This novel supramolecular-drug paradigm opens up new possibilities for therapeutic applications targeting membrane lipids.

Abstract
Drug delivery vectors based on amphiphiles have important features such as versatile physicochemical properties and stimuli-responsiveness. Amino acid-based surfactants are especially promising amphiphiles due to their enhanced biocompatibility compared to conventional surfactants. They can self-organize into micelles, vesicles and complex hierarchical structures, such as fibers, twisted and coiled ribbons, and tubules. In this work, we investigated the self-assembly and drug loading properties of a family of novel anionic double-tailed lysine-derived surfactants, with variable degree of tail length mismatch, designated as mLys10 and 10Lysn, where m and n are the number of carbon atoms in the tails. These surfactants form tubular aggregates with assorted morphologies in water that undergo gelation due to dense entanglement, as evidenced by light and electron microscopy. Lysozyme (LZM), an enzyme with antimicrobial properties, was selected as model protein for loading. After the characterization of the interfacial properties and phase behavior of the amphiphiles, the LZM-loading ability of the tubules was investigated, under varying experimental conditions, to assess the efficiency of the aggregates as pH- and temperature-sensitive nanocarriers. Further, the toxicological profile of the surfactants per se and surfactant/LZM hydrogels was obtained, using human skin fibroblasts (BJ-5ta cell line). Overall, the results show that the tubule-based hydrogels exhibit very interesting properties for the transport and controlled release of molecules of therapeutic interest.

New injectable self-assembled hydrogels that promote angiogenesis through a bioactive degradation product. Acta Biomater 2020; 115:197-209.

Abstract
Hydrogels used in regenerative medicine are often designed to allow cellular infiltration, degradation, and neovascularization. Low molecular weight hydrogels (LMWHs), formed by self-assembly via non-covalent interactions, are gaining significant interest because they are soft, easy to use and injectable. We propose LMWHs as suitable body implant materials that can stimulate tissue regeneration. We produced four new LMWHs with molecular entities containing nucleic acid and lipid building blocks and analyzed the foreign body response upon subcutaneous implantation into mice. Despite being infiltrated with macrophages, none of the hydrogels triggered detrimental inflammatory responses. Most macrophages present in the hydrogel-surrounding tissue acquired an immuno-modulatory rather than inflammatory phenotype. Concomitantly, no fibrotic capsule was formed after three weeks. Our glyconucleolipid LMWHs exhibited different degradation kinetics in vivo and in vitro. LMWHs with high angiogenic properties in vivo, were found to release glyconucleoside (glucose covalently linked to thymidine via a triazole moiety) as a common by-product of in vitro LMWH degradation. Chemically synthesized glyconucleoside exhibited angiogenic properties in vitro in scratch assays with monolayers of human endothelial cells and in vivo using the chick chorioallantoic membrane assay. Collectively, LMWHs hold promise as efficient scaffolds for various regenerative applications by displaying good biointegration without causing fibrosis, and by promoting angiogenesis through the release of a pro-angiogenic degradation product. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The main limitations of biomaterials developed in the field of tissue engineering remains their biocompatibility and vascularisation properties. In this context, we developed injectable Low Molecular Weight Hydrogels (LMWH) exhibiting thixotropic (reversible gelation) and thermal reversible properties. LMWH having injectability is of great advantage since it allows for their delivery without wounding the surrounding tissues. The resulting gels aim at forming scaffolds that the host cells colonize without major inflammation, and that won't be insulated by a strong fibrosis reaction. Importantly, their molecular degradation releases a product (a glycosyl-nucleoside conjugate) promoting angiogenesis. In this sense, these LMWH represent an important advance in the development of biomaterials promoting tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hydrogels are soft materials of the utmost importance in the biomedical and healthcare fields. Two approaches can be considered to obtain such biomaterials: the macromolecular one and the supramolecular one. In the first, the chemical gel is based on crosslinking while in the second the physical hydrogel is stabilized thanks to noncovalent interactions. Recently, new trends rely on smart devices able to modify their physico-chemical properties under stimulation. Such stimuli-responsive systems can react to internal (i.e. pH, redox potential, enzyme, etc.) or external (i.e. magnetic field, light, electric field, etc.) triggers leading to smart drug release and drug delivery systems, 3D scaffolds or biosensors. Even if some stimuli-responsive biomaterials are currently widely studied, other ones represent a real challenge. Among them, electro-responsive hydrogels, especially obtained via supramolecular approach, are under-developped leaving room for improvement. Indeed, currently known macromolecular electro-responsive systems are reaching some limitations related to their chemical composition, physicochemical properties, mechanical strength, processing technologies, etc. In contrast, the interest for supramolecular hydrogels has risen for the past few years suggesting that they may provide new solutions as electro-responsive soft materials. In this short review, we give a recent non exhaustive survey on macromolecular and supramolecular approaches for electro-responsive hydrogels in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Injectable, self-healable, and biocompatible dynamic hydrogels prepared from the molecular self-assembly and reversible covalent bond formation of low-molecular-weight hydrogelators are increasing in the field of drug delivery. Herein, we report the formation of G-quadruplex hydrogels via the multicomponent self-assembly and reversible bond formation between guanosine (G) and 1-naphthaleneboronic acid in the presence of the monovalent cation K+. The cation-templated stacking interaction of G4 quartets and the formation of dynamic cyclic boronate esters are responsible for the construction of dynamic G-quadruplex assembly. The in situ-synthesized dynamic cyclic boronate esters are well characterized by 11B nuclear magnetic resonance and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy methods. The formation and morphology of the G-quadruplex hydrogel are well supported by several spectroscopic and microscopic techniques. The injectability and self-healing ability of the G-quadruplex hydrogel are also investigated. The in vivo cytotoxicity of the G-quadruplex hydrogel is extensively evaluated over different cell lines (HeLa, MCF-7, and HEK293) to observe the biostability and broad-spectrum biocompatibility of the hydrogel. Further, this injectable, biocompatible G-quadruplex hydrogel has been used for encapsulation and sustained release of two important vitamins (B2 and B12) over 40 h at physiological pH (7.46) and temperature (37 °C) without the influence of any external stimuli.

Abstract
We report a new strategy for fabricating a smart low molecular weight hydrogel based on dynamic covalent chemistry from a bola-type supra-gelator, which was facilely fabricated in situ from two non-assembling building blocks, (3-(2-(4-formylphenoxy) ethyl)-1-methyl imidazolium bromide, MA) and (3,3'-dithiobis (propionohydrazide), DSPDZ), through dynamic acylhydrazone bonding. The obtained low molecular weight hydrogels exhibited redox-responsive and controllable self-healing properties. The role of dynamic covalent bonding in the formation of smart hydrogels is revealed in this study, which provides a simple and bottom-up method for constructing smart low molecular weight hydrogels.

Abstract
A novel axially chiral cationic Gemini amphiphile gelator (S1) derived from (S)-BINOL has been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and FT-IR analyses. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of S1 was determined to be 0.21 mM in water at room temperature. A transparent hydrogel with S1 at 43 mM was obtained at room temperature and characterized using various methods including SEM, CD, fluorescence, 1H NMR, FT-IR, and XRD. The results indicate that the hydrophobic effect of long alkyl chains, π-π stacking of naphthalene rings, and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding of the amide groups of S1 should be responsible for the hydrogel formation. Moreover, an 8.5 mM aqueous solution of S1 could gel by the addition of l-arginine, whereas it failed to gel in the presence of other 15 amino acids, respectively. It is suggested that S1 could discriminate native arginine by hydrogel formation, mainly due to the electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding effects between S1 and l-arginine molecules.

Abstract
Supramolecular synthons based on nucleic acid components, nucleobases and nucleosides, and their derivatives have been highly useful in constructing wide varieties of nanoarchitectures. While most of the design strategies have focused on developing biocompatible delivery vehicles, the potential of nucleoside hybrids in assembling smart materials with tunable and sensing properties, though challenging, is gaining significant attention. Here, we describe the development of novel functional materials with surface tunability and metal-ion responsiveness by using simple nucleolipid supramolecular synthons derived by attaching various fatty acids to the 3'-O or 3',5'-O positions of the sugar residue of thymidine nucleoside. 3',5'-O-Difatty acid-substituted thymidines formed typical organogels in pure organic solvents, whereas, 3'-O-monofatty acid-substituted thymidine nucleolipids formed water-induced gels. A detailed morphological and structural analysis using microscopy, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, and NMR techniques clearly revealed the molecular interactions invoked by nucleobase, sugar, fatty acid chain, and water in setting up the path for hierarchical self-assembly and gelation of thymidine nucleolipids. Interestingly, the surface property of the xerogel film fabricated using 3'-O-monosubstituted nucleolipid gels could be switched from highly hydrophobic to hydrophilic and vice versa depending on the nature of the organic solvent-water mixture used in the gelation process. On the contrary, the gelation process of disubstituted thymidine nucleolipids was highly sensitive to the presence of Hg2+ ions as the metal ion formed a T-Hg-T base pair, thereby disrupting the H-bonding interactions that favored the gelation. Taken together, straightforward synthesis and modification-dependent gelation behavior, surface tunability, and metal-ion responsiveness underscore the potential of these supramolecular nucleolipid synthons in constructing novel functional materials.

Abstract
A variety of diagnostic and therapeutic medical technologies rely on long term implantation of an electronic device to monitor or regulate a patient's condition. One proposed approach to powering these devices is to use a biofuel cell to convert the chemical energy from blood nutrients into electrical current to supply the electronics. We present here an enzymatic microbiofuel cell whose electrodes are directly integrated into a digital electronic circuit. Glucose oxidizing and oxygen reducing enzymes are immobilized on microelectrodes of an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) using redox hydrogels to produce an enzymatic biofuel cell, capable of harvesting electrical power from just a single droplet of 5 mM glucose solution. Optimisation of the fuel cell voltage and power to match the requirements of the electronics allow self-powered operation of the on-board digital circuitry. This study represents a step towards implantable self-powered electronic devices that gather their energy from physiological fluids.
