A Nature-Derived, Hetero-Structured, Pro-Healing Bioadhesive Patch for High-Performance Sealing of Wet Tissues. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2024; 36:e2309774.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives are promising alternatives to sutures and staples to achieve wound closure and hemostasis. However, they often do not work well on tissues that are soaked in blood or other biological fluids, and organs that are typically exposed to a variety of harsh environments such as different pH values, nonhomogeneous distortions, continuous expansions and contractions, or high pressures. In this study, a nature-derived multilayered hetero-bioadhesive patch (skin secretion of Andrias davidianus (SSAD)-Patch) based on hydrophilic/hydrophobic pro-healing bioadhesives derived from the SSAD is developed, which is designed to form pressure-triggered strong adhesion with wet tissues. The SSAD-Patch is successfully applied for the sealing and healing of tissue defects within 10 s in diverse extreme injury scenarios in vivo including rat stomach perforation, small intestine perforation, fetal membrane defect, porcine carotid artery incision, and lung lobe laceration. The findings reveal a promising new type of self-adhesive regenerative SSAD-Patch, which is potentially adaptable to broad applications (under different pH values and air or liquid pressures) in sutureless wound sealing and healing.

Abstract
Peritoneal adhesion is a common problem after abdominal surgery and can lead to various medical problems. In response to the lack of in situ retention and pro-wound healing properties of existing anti-adhesion barriers, this work reports an injectable adhesive-antifouling bifunctional hydrogel (AAB-hydrogel). This AAB-hydrogel can be constructed by "two-step" injection. The tissue adhesive hydrogel based on gallic acid-modified chitosan and aldehyde-modified dextran is prepared as the bottom hydrogel (B-hydrogel) by Schiff base reaction. The aldehyde-modified zwitterionic dextran/carboxymethyl chitosan-based hydrogel is formed on the B-hydrogel surface as the antifouling top hydrogel (T-hydrogel). The AAB-hydrogel exhibits good bilayer binding and asymmetric properties, including tissue adhesive, antifouling, and antimicrobial properties. To evaluate the anti-adhesion effect in vivo, the prepared hydrogels are injected onto the wound surface of a mouse abdominal wall abrasion-cecum defect model. Results suggest that the AAB-hydrogel has antioxidant capacity and can reduce the postoperative inflammatory response by modulating the macrophage phenotype. Moreover, the AAB-hydrogel could effectively inhibit the formation of postoperative adhesions by reducing protein deposition, and resisting fibroblast adhesions and bacteria attacking. Therefore, AAB-hydrogel is a promising candidate for the prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions.

Abstract
Nature has created various organisms with unique chemical components and multi-scale structures (e.g., foot proteins, toe pads, suckers, setose gill lamellae) to achieve wet adhesion functions to adapt to their complex living environments. These organisms can provide inspirations for designing wet adhesives with mediated drug release behaviors in target locations of biological surfaces. They exhibit conformal and enhanced wet adhesion, addressing the bottleneck of weaker tissue interface adhesion in the presence of body fluids. Herein, it is focused on the research progress of different wet adhesion and bioinspired fabrications, including adhesive protein-based adhesion and inspired adhesives (e.g., mussel adhesion); capillarity and Stefan adhesion and inspired adhesive surfaces (e.g., tree frog adhesion); suction-based adhesion and inspired suckers (e.g., octopus' adhesion); interlocking and friction-based adhesion and potential inspirations (e.g., mayfly larva and teleost adhesion). Other secreted protein-induced wet adhesion is also reviewed and various suckers for other organisms and their inspirations. Notably, one representative application scenario of these bioinspired wet adhesives is highlighted, where they function as efficient drug delivery platforms on target tissues and/or organs with requirements of both controllable wet adhesion and optimized drug release. Finally, the challenges of these bioinspired wet drug delivery platforms in the future is presented.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Interfacial adhesion caused by intermolecular forces only occur between surfaces at nano-scale contact (NSC), i.e., 0.1-0.4 nm and can be evaluated using Forster resonance energy transfer spectroscopy (FRET). For this, a suitable pair of fluorescent dyes must be selected, which spectroscopic properties will determine the FRET system performance. Here, we present a brand-new FRET dye system specifically designed to measure NSC in the distance range relevant for van-der-Waals and hydrogen bonding, i.e., below 1 nm. EXPERIMENTS We propose the FRET pair: 7-Amino-4-methyl-cumarin (C120) and 5(6)-Carboxy-2',7'-dichlor-fluorescein (CDCF) with high quantum yield (QY, QYC120 = 0.91 and QYCDCF = 0.64) and a distance detection range of 0.6-2.2 nm (0.1 mM). Adhered-thin films with increasing NSC degrees are produced with ascending pressure from 1.5 to 150 bar. To validate the proposed FRET measurement, we are correlating the bonded films interfacial adhesion (separation energy) to the measured FRET intensity, indicating its degree of NSC. FINDINGS We find that the proposed dyes are producing the desired FRET signal in adhered-thin films, for an interaction range of 0.6-2.2 nm, with high sensitivity due to the dye's high quantum yields. The increasing adhesion in these films is only caused by its increase in NSC. We find that the adhesion strength, measured as the separation energy between the films, is correlated to the measured FRET signal. Hence, the introduced FRET system is accurately able to measure the degree of NSC between soft surfaces.

Abstract
Adhesives with robust but readily detachable wet tissue adhesion are of great significance for wound closure. Polyelectrolyte complex adhesive (PECA) is an important wet tissue adhesive. However, its relatively weak cohesive and adhesive strength cannot satisfy clinical applications. Herein, modified tannic acid (mTA) with a catechol group, a long alkyl hydrophobic chain, and a phenyl group was prepared first, and then, it was mixed with acrylic acid (AA) and polyethylenimine (PEI), followed by UV photopolymerization to make a wet tissue adhesive hydrogel with tough cohesion and adhesion strength. The hydrogel has a strong wet tissue interfacial toughness of ∼1552 J/m2, good mechanical properties (∼7220 kPa cohesive strength, ∼873% strain, and ∼33,370 kJ/m3 toughness), and a bursting pressure of ∼1575 mmHg on wet porcine skin. The hydrogel can realize quick and effective adhesion to various wet biological tissues including porcine skin, liver, kidney, and heart and can be changed easily with triggering urea solution to avoid tissue damage or uncomfortable pain to the patient. This biosafe adhesive hydrogel is very promising for wound closure and may provide new ideas for the design of robust wet tissue adhesives.

Abstract
Development of reversible wet or underwater adhesives remains a grand challenge. Because weakened intermolecular interactions by water molecules or/and low effective contact area cause poor interface to the wet surfaces, which significantly decreases adhesive strength. Herein, a new photocured, bio-based shape memory polymer (SMP) that shows both chemical and structural wet adhesion to various types of surfaces is developed. The SMP is polymerized from three monomers mainly from bio-sources to form linear polymer chains dangled with hydrophobic side chains. The hydrogen acceptor and donor groups in the chains form hydrogen bonding with the surfaces, which is protected by the hydrophobic chains in the interface. The SMP shows tunable phase transition temperature (Tg) of 17-38 °C. In a rubbery state above Tg, the adhesive forms conformable contact with the targeted surfaces. Below Tg, a transition to a glassy state locks the conformed shapes to largely increase the effective contact area. As a result, the adhesive exhibits long-term underwater adhesion of > 15 days with the best adhesion strength of ~ 0.9 MPa. Its applications in leak repair, underwater on-skin sensors were demonstrated. This new, general strategy would pave avenues to designing bio-based, long-lasting, and reversible adhesives from renewable feedstocks for widespread applications.

Abstract
In recent years, polymer-based tissue adhesives (TAs) have been developed as an alternative to sutures to close and seal incisions or wounds owing to their ease of use, rapid application time, low cost, and minimal tissue damage. Although significant research is being conducted to develop new TAs with improved performances using different strategies, the applications of TAs are limited by several factors, such as weak adhesion strength and poor mechanical properties. Therefore, the next-generation advanced TAs with biomimetic and multifunctional properties should be developed. Herein, we review the requirements, adhesive performances, characteristics, adhesive mechanisms, applications, commercial products, and advantages and disadvantages of proteins- and synthetic polymer-based TAs. Furthermore, future perspectives in the field of TA-based research have been discussed.

Abstract
Hydrogel is the most emblematic soft material which possesses significantly tunable and programmable characteristics. Polymer hydrogels possess significant advantages including, biocompatible, simple, reliable and low cost. Therefore, research on the development of hydrogel for biomedical applications has been grown intensely. However, hydrogel development is challenging and required significant effort before the application at an industrial scale. Therefore, the current work focused on evaluating recent trends and issues with hydrogel development for biomedical applications. In addition, the hydrogel's development methodology, physicochemical properties, and biomedical applications are evaluated and benchmarked against the reported literature. Later, biomedical applications of the nano-cellulose-based hydrogel are considered and critically discussed. Based on a detailed review, it has been found that the surface energy, intermolecular interactions, and interactions of hydrogel adhesion forces are major challenges that contribute to the development of hydrogel. In addition, compared to other hydrogels, nanocellulose hydrogels demonstrated higher potential for drug delivery, 3D cell culture, diagnostics, tissue engineering, tissue therapies and gene therapies. Overall, nanocellulose hydrogel has the potential for commercialization for different biomedical applications.

Abstract
Fast and strong bio-adhesives are in high demand for many biomedical applications, including closing wounds in surgeries, fixing implantable devices, and haemostasis. However, most strong bio-adhesives rely on the instant formation of irreversible covalent crosslinks to provide strong surface binding. Repositioning misplaced adhesives during surgical operations may cause severe secondary damage to tissues. Here, we report hydrogel tapes that can form strong physical interactions with tissues in seconds and gradually form covalent bonds in hours. This timescale-dependent adhesion mechanism allows instant and robust wet adhesion to be combined with fault-tolerant convenient surgical operations. Specifically, inspired by the catechol chemistry discovered in mussel foot proteins, we develop an electrical oxidation approach to controllably oxidize catechol to catecholquinone, which reacts slowly with amino groups on the tissue surface. We demonstrate that the tapes show fast and reversible adhesion at the initial stage and ultrastrong adhesion after the formation of covalent linkages over hours for various tissues and electronic devices. Given that the hydrogel tapes are biocompatible, easy to use, and robust for bio-adhesion, we anticipate that they may find broad biomedical and clinical applications.

Abstract
Water and adhesives have a conflicting relationship as demonstrated by the failure of most man-made adhesives in underwater environments. However, living creatures routinely adhere to substrates underwater. For example, sandcastle worms create protective reefs underwater by secreting a cocktail of protein glue that binds mineral particles together, and mussels attach themselves to rocks near tide-swept sea shores using byssal threads formed from their extracellular secretions. Over the past few decades, the physicochemical examination of biological underwater adhesives has begun to decipher the mysteries behind underwater adhesion. These naturally occurring adhesives have inspired the creation of several synthetic materials that can stick underwater - a task that was once thought to be "impossible". This review provides a comprehensive overview of the progress in the science of underwater adhesion over the past few decades. In this review, we introduce the basic thermodynamics processes and kinetic parameters involved in adhesion. Second, we describe the challenges brought by water when adhering underwater. Third, we explore the adhesive mechanisms showcased by mussels and sandcastle worms to overcome the challenges brought by water. We then present a detailed review of synthetic underwater adhesives that have been reported to date. Finally, we discuss some potential applications of underwater adhesives and the current challenges in the field by using a tandem analysis of the reported chemical structures and their adhesive strength. This review is aimed to inspire and facilitate the design of novel synthetic underwater adhesives, that will, in turn expand our understanding of the physical and chemical parameters that influence underwater adhesion.

Abstract
Hydrogel patches with high toughness, stretchability, and adhesive properties are critical to healthcare applications including wound dressings and wearable devices. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) provides a highly biocompatible and accessible hydrogel platform. However, low tissue adhesion and poor mechanical properties of cross-linked GelMA patches (i.e., brittleness and low stretchability) have been major obstacles to their application for sealing and repair of wounds. Here, we show that adding dopamine (DA) moieties in larger quantities than those of conjugated counterparts to the GelMA prepolymer solution followed by alkaline DA oxidation could result in robust mechanical and adhesive properties in GelMA-based hydrogels. In this way, cross-linked patches with ∼140% stretchability and ∼19 000 J/m3 toughness, which correspond to ∼5.7 and ∼3.3× improvement, respectively, compared to that of GelMA controls, were obtained. The DA oxidization in the prepolymer solution was found to play an important role in activating adhesive properties of cross-linked GelMA patches (∼4.0 and ∼6.9× increase in adhesion force under tensile and shear modes, respectively) due to the presence of reactive oxidized quinone species. We further conducted a parametric study on the factors such as UV light parameters, the photoinitiator type (i.e., lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate, LAP, versus 2-hydroxy-4'-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-2-methylpropiophenone, Irgacure 2959), and alkaline DA oxidation to tune the cross-linking density and thereby hydrogel compliance for better adhesive properties. The superior adhesion performance of the resulting hydrogel along with in vitro cytocompatibility demonstrated its potential for use in skin-attachable substrates.

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.

Abstract
The mussel-inspired catechol-based strategy has been widely used in the development of adhesives. However, the properties of the obtained adhesives were still severely limited in a humid environment, particularly in water. In this study, a facile and versatile approach was proposed to prepare an underwater adhesion hydrogel. First, dopamine (DA) was grafted on oxidized carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC) to obtain dopamine-grafted oxidized carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC-DA). Second, the acrylamide (AM) monomer was conjugated with OCMC-DA by a Schiff base reaction, and then polymerized to form an OCMC-DA/PAM hydrogel. The properties of the resulting hydrogel have been fully characterized. The underwater adhesion strength of the hydrogel can reach as high as 86.3 ± 7.2 kPa and reduced to 43 ± 3.4 kPa after being immersed in water for 9 days. More remarkably, we found that the maximal adhesion strength was shown when the G' and G'' of the hydrogel were very close. Moreover, we demonstrated the mechanical properties of our fabricated hydrogel by compressive tests and rheological analysis. The adhesive hydrogel also exhibits excellent biocompatibility.

Abstract
In recent years, multifunctional hydrogels have garnered great interest. Usually, there is a contradiction between the toughness and interface adhesion of traditional hydrogels. In engineering and medical applications, hydrogels need to have good adhesive properties and toughness. The design of functional hydrogels with strong adhesion and high toughness is key to their application. In this review, the research progress of adhesive and tough hydrogels in recent years is outlined. Specifically, the structural design (such as integrated, layered, and gradient structures) and applications (such as cartilage repair, drug delivery, strain sensors, tissue adhesives, soft actuators, and supercapacitors) of adhesive and tough hydrogels are classified and discussed, providing new insights on their design and development.

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
Wound healing is a complex and sequential biological process that involves multiple stages. Although various nanomaterials are applied to accelerate the wound healing process, only a single stage is promoted during the process, lacking hierarchical stimulation. Herein, hollow CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with rough surface and l-arginine inside (Ah CeO2 NPs) are developed as a compact and programmable nanosystem for sequentially promoting the hemostasis, inflammation, and proliferation stages. The rough surface of Ah CeO2 NPs works as a nanobridge to rapidly closure the wounds, promoting the hemostasis stage. The hollow structure of Ah CeO2 NPs enables the multireflection of light inside particles, significantly enhancing the light harvest efficiency and electron-hole pair abundance. Simultaneously, the porous shell of Ah CeO2 NPs facilitates the electron-hole separation and reactive oxygen species production, preventing wound infection and promotion wound healing during the inflammation stage. The enzyme mimicking property of Ah CeO2 NPs can alleviate the oxidative injury in the wound, and the released l-arginine can be converted into nitric oxide (NO) under the catalysis of inducible NO synthase, both of which promote the proliferation stage. A series of in vitro and in vitro biological assessments corroborate the effectiveness of Ah CeO2 NPs in the wound healing process.

Abstract
Hydrogels have promising applications in diverse areas, especially wet environments including tissue engineering, wound dressing, biomedical devices, and underwater soft robotics. Despite strong demands in such applications and great progress in irreversible bonding of robust hydrogels to diverse synthetic and biological surfaces, tough hydrogels with fast, strong, and reversible underwater adhesion are still not available. Herein, a strategy to develop hydrogels demonstrating such characteristics by combining macroscale surface engineering and nanoscale dynamic bonds is proposed. Based on this strategy, excellent underwater adhesion performance of tough hydrogels with dynamic ionic and hydrogen bonds, on diverse substrates, including hard glasses, soft hydrogels, and biological tissues is obtained. The proposed strategy can be generalized to develop other soft materials with underwater adhesion.
