Abstract
Hydrogels with intricate 3D networks and high hydrophilicity have qualities resembling those of biological tissues, making them ideal candidates for use as smart biomedical materials. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive hydrogels are an innovative class of smart hydrogels, and are cross-linked by ROS-responsive modules through covalent interactions, coordination interactions, or supramolecular interactions. Due to the introduction of ROS response modules, this class of hydrogels exhibits a sensitive response to the oxidative stress microenvironment existing in organisms. Simultaneously, due to the modularity of the ROS-responsive structure, ROS-responsive hydrogels can be manufactured on a large scale through additive manufacturing. This review will delve into the design, fabrication, and applications of ROS-responsive hydrogels. The main goal is to clarify the chemical principles that govern the response mechanism of these hydrogels, further providing new perspectives and methods for designing responsive hydrogel materials.

Abstract
A self-healing gel with self-healing kinetics that can be regulated by heat is developed. The gel is composed of a polymer having benzophenone (BP) substituents, which are cross-linked with a main alkyl chain via ester bonds, titanium chloride, and zinc. This gel material shows a self-healing property at room temperature. Also, its self-healing behavior can be accelerated by heating the gel. This gel having self-healing kinetics that can be regulated by heat is favorable for practical use. When we want to use a self-healing property as a stop-gap measure, a rapid self-healing property is demanded. On the other hand, when we want materials repaired beautifully or decomposed surfaces need to be attached beautifully, a slow self-healing property is favorable. These opposite demands can be answered by the gel with self-healing kinetics that can be regulated by heat.

Abstract
A Fe3+-ion cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose, Fe3+-CMC, redox-active gel exhibiting dissipative, transient stiffness properties is introduced. Chemical or photosensitized reduction of the higher-stiffness Fe3+-CMC to the lower-stiffness Fe2+-CMC gel, accompanied by the aerobic reoxidation of the Fe2+-CMC matrix, leads to the dissipative, transient stiffness, functional matrix. The light-induced, temporal, transient release of a load (Texas red dextran) and the light-triggered, transient mechanical bending of a poly-N-isopropylacrylamide (p-NIPAM)/Fe3+-CMC bilayer construct are introduced, thus demonstrating the potential use of the dissipative Fe3+-CMC gel for controlled drug release or soft robotic applications.

Abstract
Nature offers a wealth of opportunities to solve scientific and technological issues based on its unique structures and function. The dynamic non-covalent interaction is considered to be the main base of living functions of creatures including humans, animals, and plants. Supramolecular hydrogels formed by non-covalent bonding interactions has become a unique platform for constructing promising materials for medicine, energy, electronic, and biological substitute. In this review, the self-assemble principle of supramolecular hydrogels is summarized. Next, the stimulation of external environment that triggers the assembly or disassembly of supramolecular hydrogels are recapitulated, including temperature, mechanics, light, pH, ions, etc. The main applications of bioinspired supramolecular hydrogels in terms of bionic objects including humans, animals, and plants are also described. Although so many efforts are done for revealing the synergized mechanism of the function and non-covalent interactions on the supramolecular hydrogel, the complexity and variability between stimulus and non-covalent bonding in the supramolecular system still require impeccable theories. As an outlook, the bioinspired supramolecular hydrogel is just beginning to exhibit its great potential in human life, offering significant opportunities in drug delivery and screening, implantable devices and substitutions, tissue engineering, micro-fluidic devices, and biosensors.

Abstract
The use of ''smart materials,'' or ''stimulus responsive'' materials, has proven useful in a variety of fields, including tissue engineering and medication delivery. Many factors, including temperature, pH, redox state, light, and magnetic fields, are being studied for their potential to affect a material's properties, interactions, structure, and/or dimensions. New tissue engineering and drug delivery methods are made possible by the ability of living systems to respond to both external stimuli and their own internal signals) for example, materials composed of stimuliresponsive polymers that self assemble or undergo phase transitions or morphology transformation. The researcher examines the potential of smart materials as controlled drug release vehicles in tissue engineering, aiming to enable the localized regeneration of injured tissue by delivering precisely dosed drugs at precisely timed intervals.

Abstract
The assembly of enzyme [glucose oxidase (GOx)]-loaded stimuli-responsive DNA-based hydrogels on electrode surfaces, and the triggered control over the stiffness of the hydrogels, provides a means to switch the bioelectrocatalytic functions of the hydrogels. One system includes the assembly of GOx-loaded, pH-responsive, hydrogel matrices cross-linked by two cooperative nucleic acid motives comprising permanent duplex nucleic acids and "caged" i-motif pH-responsive duplexes. Bioelectrocatalyzed oxidation of glucose leads to the formation of gluconic acid that acidifies the hydrogel resulting in the separation of the i-motif constituents and lowering the hydrogel stiffness. Loading of the hydrogel matrices with insulin results in the potential-triggered, glucose concentration-controlled, switchable release of insulin from the hydrogel-modified electrodes. The switchable bioelectrocatalyzed release of insulin is demonstrated in the presence of ferrocenemethanol as a diffusional electron mediator or by applying an electrically wired integrated matrix that includes ferrocenyl-modified GOx embedded in the hydrogel. The second GOx-loaded, stimuli-responsive, DNA-based hydrogel matrix associated with the electrode includes a polyacrylamide hydrogel cooperatively cross-linked by duplex nucleic acids and "caged" G-quadruplex-responsive duplexes. The hydrogel matrix undergoes K+-ions/crown ether-triggered stiffness changes by the cyclic K+-ion-stimulated formation of G-quadruplexes (lower stiffness) and the crown ether-induced separation of the G-quadruplexes (higher stiffness). The hydrogel matrices demonstrate switchable bioelectrocatalytic functions guided by the stiffness properties of the hydrogels.

Abstract
G-Quadruplexes attract growing interest as functional constituents in biology, chemistry, nanotechnology, and material science. In particular, the reversible dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes provides versatile means to switch DNA nanostructures, reversibly control catalytic functions of DNA assemblies, and switch material properties and functions. The present review article discusses the switchable dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes as central functional and structural motifs that enable diverse applications in DNA nanotechnology and material science. The dynamic reconfiguration of G-quadruplexes has a major impact on the development of DNA switches and DNA machines. The integration of G-quadruplexes with enzymes yields supramolecular assemblies exhibiting switchable catalytic functions guided by dynamic G-quadruplex topologies. In addition, G-quadruplexes act as important building blocks to operate constitutional dynamic networks and transient dissipative networks mimicking complex biological dynamic circuitries. Furthermore, the integration of G-quadruplexes with DNA nanostructures, such as origami tiles, introduces dynamic and mechanical features into these static frameworks. Beyond the dynamic operation of G-quadruplex structures in solution, the assembly of G-quadruplexes on bulk surfaces such as electrodes or nanoparticles provides versatile means to engineer diverse electrochemical and photoelectrochemical devices and to switch the dynamic aggregation/deaggregation of nanoparticles, leading to nanoparticle assemblies that reveal switchable optical properties. Finally, the functionalization of hydrogels, hydrogel microcapsules, or nanoparticle carriers, such as SiO2 nanoparticles or metal-organic framework nanoparticles, yields stimuli-responsive materials exhibiting shape-memory, self-healing, and controlled drug release properties. Indeed, G-quadruplex-modified nanomaterials find growing interest in the area of nanomedicine. Beyond the impressive G-quadruplex-based scientific advances achieved to date, exciting future developments are still anticipated. The review addresses these goals by identifying the potential opportunities and challenges ahead of the field in the coming years.

Abstract
For conventional hydrogels, the phenomenon of crack generation and propagation caused by high-stress concentration is ubiquitous. However, this phenomenon is unfavorable in many applications, such as wearable electronics, tissue engineering, and tunable adhesion. Fortunately, many hydrogels that can suppress crack growth during deformation and maintain the original mechanical properties during deformation, called crack-resistant hydrogels, have been published. Herein, the state-of-the-art of crack-resistant hydrogels is comprehensively reviewed. Starting from the principle of designing a crack-resistant hydrogel, we first survey the relevant crack-resistant strategies. The latest crack-resistant hydrogels are then categorized according to their crack-resistant mechanisms (including energy dissipation at the molecular level, multiscale structure, crack pinning, crack deflection, and sliding of chain), and their crack-resistant processes are described in detail. Furthermore, we summarize the current challenges and make an outlook for crack-resistant hydrogels, which might lead to substantial progress in the future design and development of these high-performance materials.

Abstract
Cross-linked polymers have attracted an immense attention over the years, however, there are many flaws of these systems, e.g. softness and brittleness; such materials possess non-adjustable properties and cannot recover from damage and thus are limited in their practical applications. Supramolecular chemistry offers a variety of dynamic interactions that when integrated into polymeric gels endow the systems with reversibility and responsiveness to external stimuli. A combination of different cross-links in a single gel could be the key to tackle these drawbacks, since covalent or chemical cross-linking serve to maintain the permanent shape of the material and to improve overall mechanical performance, whereas non-covalent cross-links impart dynamicity, reversibility, stimuli-responsiveness and often toughness to the material. In the present review we sought to give a comprehensive overview of the progress in design strategies of different types of dually cross-linked single gels made by researchers over the past decade as well as the successful implementations of these advances in many demanding fields where versatile multifunctional materials are required, such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, self-healing and adhesive systems, sensors as well as shape memory materials and actuators.

Abstract
Glioma is the most aggressive primary malignant brain tumor. The eradication of the gliomas by performing neurosurgery has not been successful due to the diffuse nature of malignant gliomas. Temozolomide (TMZ) is the first-line agent in treating gliomas after surgery, and its therapeutic efficacy is limited mainly due to the high activity levels of the DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) in glioma cells. Herein, we used an injectable matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzyme responsive hydrogel that loaded TMZ and O6-benzylamine (BG) (MGMT inhibitor) for eradicating residual TMZ-resistant gliomas after surgery. The hydrogels exhibited three features: (1) TMZ and BG could be encapsulated within the hydrophobic lamellae of the hydrogel to form Tm (TMZ + BG) hydrogels; (2) The hydrogels could release TMZ and BG in response to the high concentration of MMP enzymes after glioma surgery; (3) The hydrogels could increase local TMZ concentration and reduce side effects of BG. In vivo, the Tm (TMZ + BG) hydrogels inhibited the MGMT expression and sensitized TMZ-resistant glioma cells to TMZ. Moreover, the Tm (TMZ + BG) hydrogels effectively reduced the recurrence of TMZ-resistant glioma after surgery and significantly enhanced the efficiency of TMZ to inhibit glioma growth. Together, these data suggest that an MMP-responsive hydrogel is a promising localized drug delivery method to inhibit TMZ-resistant glioma recurrence after surgery.

Abstract
The locoregional recurrence of breast cancer after tumor resection represents several clinical challenges, and conventional post-surgical adjuvant therapeutics always bring about significant systemic side effects. Thus, the local therapy strategy has received considerable interest in breast cancer treatment, and hydrogels can function as ideal platforms due to their remarkable properties such as good biocompatibility, biodegradability, flexibility, and multifunctionality. The nano-hydrogel composites can further incorporate the advantages of nanomaterials into the hydrogel system, to fabricate hierarchical structures for stimulating controlled multi-stage release of different therapeutic agents and improving the synergistic effects of combination therapy. In this review, the problems of clinical treatments of breast cancer and properties of hydrogels in current biomedical applications are briefly overviewed. The focus is on recent advances in local therapy based on nano-hydrogel composites for both monotherapy (chemotherapy, photothermal and photodynamic therapy) and combination therapy (dual chemotherapy, photothermal chemotherapy, photothermal immunotherapy, radio-chemotherapy). Moreover, the challenges and perspectives in the development of advanced nano-hydrogel systems are also discussed.

Abstract
This Review presents polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, nucleic acids, peptides, and proteins as functional stimuli-responsive polymer scaffolds that yield hydrogels with controlled stiffness. Different physical or chemical triggers can be used to structurally reconfigure the crosslinking units and control the stiffness of the hydrogels. The integration of stimuli-responsive supramolecular complexes and stimuli-responsive biomolecular units as crosslinkers leads to hybrid hydrogels undergoing reversible triggered transitions across different stiffness states. Different applications of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogels are discussed. The assembly of stimuli-responsive biomolecule-based hydrogel films on surfaces and their applications are discussed. The coating of drug-loaded nanoparticles with stimuli-responsive hydrogels for controlled drug release is also presented.

Abstract
Smart or stimuli-responsive materials are an emerging class of materials used for tissue engineering and drug delivery. A variety of stimuli (including temperature, pH, redox-state, light, and magnet fields) are being investigated for their potential to change a material's properties, interactions, structure, and/or dimensions. The specificity of stimuli response, and ability to respond to endogenous cues inherently present in living systems provide possibilities to develop novel tissue engineering and drug delivery strategies (for example materials composed of stimuli responsive polymers that self-assemble or undergo phase transitions or morphology transformations). Herein, smart materials as controlled drug release vehicles for tissue engineering are described, highlighting their potential for the delivery of precise quantities of drugs at specific locations and times promoting the controlled repair or remodeling of tissues.
