BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2024; 161:213869. [PMID: 38718714 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213869] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2023] [Revised: 04/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/19/2024] [Indexed: 06/04/2024]
Abstract
Considering the global burden related to tissue and organ injuries or failures, self-healing hydrogels may be an attractive therapeutic alternative for the future. Self-healing hydrogels are highly hydrated 3D structures with the ability to self-heal after breaking, this property is attributable to a variety of dynamic non-covalent and covalent bonds that are able to re-linking within the matrix. Self-healing ability specially benefits minimal invasive medical treatments with cell-delivery support. Moreover, those tissue-engineered self-healing hydrogels network have demonstrated effectiveness for myriad purposes; for instance, they could act as delivery-platforms for different cargos (drugs, growth factors, cells, among others) in tissues such as bone, cartilage, nerve or skin. Besides, self-healing hydrogels have currently found their way into new and novel applications; for example, with the development of the self-healing adhesive hydrogels, by merely aiding surgical closing processes and by providing biomaterial-tissue adhesion. Furthermore, conductive hydrogels permit the stimuli and monitoring of natural electrical signals, which facilitated a better fitting of hydrogels in native tissue or the diagnosis of various health diseases. Lastly, self-healing hydrogels could be part of cyborganics - a merge between biology and machinery - which can pave the way to a finer healthcare devices for diagnostics and precision therapies.

Abstract
The inclusion of sacrificial hydrogen bonds is crucial for advancing high-performance rubber materials. However, the molecular mechanisms governing the impact of these bonds on material properties remain unclear, hindering progress in advanced rubber material research. This study employed all-atom molecular dynamics simulations to thoroughly investigate how hydrogen bonds affect the structure, dynamics, mechanics, and linear viscoelasticity of rubber materials. As the modified repeating unit ratio (β) increased, both interchain and intrachain hydrogen bond content rose, with interchain bonds playing a predominant role. This physical cross-linking network formed through interchain hydrogen bonds restricts molecular chain movement and relaxation and raises the glass transition temperature of rubber. Within a certain content of hydrogen bonds, the mechanical strength increases with increasing β. However, further increasing β leads to a subsequent decrease in the mechanical performance. Optimal mechanical properties were observed at β = 6%. On the other hand, a higher β value yields an elevated stress relaxation modulus and an extended stress relaxation plateau, signifying a more complex hydrogen-bond cross-linking network. Additionally, higher β increases the storage modulus, loss modulus, and complex viscosity while reducing the loss factor. In summary, this study successfully established the relationship between the structure and properties of natural rubber containing hydrogen bonds, providing a scientific foundation for the design of high-performance rubber materials.

Abstract
Hydrogels have emerged as powerful building blocks to develop various soft bioelectronics because of their tissue-like mechanical properties, superior bio-compatibility, the ability to conduct both electrons and ions, and multiple stimuli-responsiveness. However, hydrogels are vulnerable to mechanical damage, which limits their usage in developing durable hydrogel-based bioelectronics. Self-healing hydrogels aim to endow bioelectronics with the property of repairing specific functions after mechanical failure, thus improving their durability, reliability, and longevity. This review discusses recent advances in self-healing hydrogels, from the self-healing mechanisms, material chemistry, and strategies for multiple properties improvement of hydrogel materials, to the design, fabrication, and applications of various hydrogel-based bioelectronics, including wearable physical and biochemical sensors, supercapacitors, flexible display devices, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), implantable bioelectronics, etc. Furthermore, the persisting challenges hampering the development of self-healing hydrogel bioelectronics and their prospects are proposed. This review is expected to expedite the research and applications of self-healing hydrogels for various self-healing bioelectronics.

Abstract
Photosynthetic inorganic biohybrid systems (PBSs) combining an inorganic photosensitizer with intact living cells provide an innovative view for solar hydrogen production. However, typical whole-cell biohybrid systems often suffer from sluggish electron transfer kinetics during transmembrane diffusion, which severely limits the efficiency of solar hydrogen production. Here, a unique biohybrid system with a quantum yield of 8.42% was constructed by feeding bismuth-doped carbon dots (Bi@CDS) to Escherichia coli (E. coli). In this biohybrid system, Bi@CDS can enter the cells and transfer the electrons upon light irradiation, greatly reducing the energy loss and shortening the distance of electron transfer. More importantly, the photocatalytic hydrogen production of the E. coli-Bi@CDs biohybrid system reached up to 0.95 mmol within 3 h under light irradiation (420-780 nm, 2000 W m-2), which is 1.36 and 2.38 times higher than that in the E. coli-CDs biohybrid system and the E. coli system, respectively. In addition, the mechanism of enhanced hydrogen production was further explored. It was found that the accelerated decomposition of glucose, the accelerated production of pyruvate, the inhibition of lactic acid, and the increase of formic acid were the reasons for the increase of hydrogen production. This work provides a novel strategy for improving the hydrogen production in photosynthetic inorganic biohybrid systems.

Abstract
Self-healing polymeric materials, which can repair physical damage, offer promising prospects for protective applications across various industries. Although prolonged durability and resource conservation are key advantages, focusing solely on mechanical recovery may limit the market potential of these materials. The unique physical properties of self-healing polymers, such as interfacial reduction, seamless connection lines, temperature/pressure responses, and phase transitions, enable a multitude of innovative applications. In this perspective, the diverse applications of self-healing polymers beyond their traditional mechanical strength are emphasized and their potential in various sectors such as food packaging, damage-reporting, radiation shielding, acoustic conservation, biomedical monitoring, and tissue regeneration is explored. With regards to the commercialization challenges, including scalability, robustness, and performance degradation under extreme conditions, strategies to overcome these limitations and promote successful industrialization are discussed. Furthermore, the potential impacts of self-healing materials on future research directions, encompassing environmental sustainability, advanced computational techniques, integration with emerging technologies, and tailoring materials for specific applications are examined. This perspective aims to inspire interdisciplinary approaches and foster the adoption of self-healing materials in various real-life settings, ultimately contributing to the development of next-generation materials.

Abstract
Real-time sensing of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and timely scavenging of excessive ROS in physiological environments are critically important in the diagnosis and prevention of ROS-related diseases. To solve the mismatch problem between conventional rigid ROS biosensors and biological tissues in terms of both modulus and composition, here, we present a flexible ferrocene-based hydrogel biosensor designed for oxidative stress detection and antioxidation treatment. The hydrogel was fabricated through a supramolecular assembly of ferrocene-grafted polyethylenimine (PEI-Fc), sodium alginate (SA), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Multiple non-covalent interactions, including electrostatic interactions between PEI-Fc and SA, hydrophobic interactions and π-π stacking among ferrocene groups, and the PVA crystalline domain, synergistically improve the mechanical properties of the PVA/SA/PEI-Fc hydrogel. The flexible PVA/SA/PEI-Fc hydrogel biosensor exhibited a broad detection range for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), from 0 to 120 μM, using the differential pulse voltammetry method. Furthermore, the hydrogel demonstrated effective ROS scavenging and oxygen generation performance, desirable biocompatibility, and satisfactory antibacterial activity, making it suitable for biological interfaces. In vitro studies revealed that the PVA/SA/PEI-Fc hydrogel could monitor H2O2 concentration in the proximity of inflammatory cells, and effectively scavenge ROS to protect cells from oxidative stress damage. This all-in-one multifunctional hydrogel, integrating both sensing and treatment functions, holds great promise for clinical applications in the diagnosis and management of ROS-related diseases.

Abstract
Carbon-based quantum dots (CQDs) have been shown to have promising application value in tumor diagnosis. Their use, however, is severely hindered by the complicated nature of the nanostructures in the CQDs. Furthermore, it seems impossible to formulate the mechanisms involved using the inadequate theoretical frameworks that are currently available for CQDs. In this review, we re-consider the structure-property relationships of CQDs and summarize the current state of development of CQDs-based tumor diagnosis based on biological theories that are fully developed. The advantages and deficiencies of recent research on CQDs-based tumor diagnosis are thus explained in terms of the manifestation of nine essential changes in cell physiology. This review makes significant progress in addressing related problems encountered with other nanomaterials.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent clinical malignancy of the gastrointestinal system, and its clinical drug resistance is the leading cause of poor prognosis. Mechanistically, CRC cells possess a specific oxidative stress defense mechanism composed of a significant number of endogenous antioxidants, such as glutathione, to combat the damage produced by drug-induced excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS). We report on a new anti-CRC nanoplatform, a multifunctional chemo-photothermal nanoplatform based on Camptothecin (CPT) and IR820, an indocyanine dye. The implementation of a GSH-triggered ferroptosis-integrated tumor chemo-photothermal nanoplatform successfully addressed the poor targeting ability of CPT and IR820 while exhibiting significant growth inhibitory effects on CRC cells. Mechanistically, to offset the oxidative stress created by the broken SeSe bonds, endogenous GSH was continuously depleted, which inactivated GPX4 to accumulate lipid peroxides and induce ferroptosis. Concurrently, exogenously administered linoleic acid was oxidized under photothermal conditions, resulting in an increase in LPO accumulation. With the breakdown of the oxidative stress defense system, chemotherapeutic efficacy could be effectively enhanced. In combination with photoacoustic imaging, the nanoplatform could eradicate solid tumors by means of ferroptosis-sensitized chemotherapy. This study indicates that chemotherapy involving a ferroptosis mechanism is a viable method for the treatment of CRC.

[PMID: 37739252 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.09.030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2023] [Revised: 08/28/2023] [Accepted: 09/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
A visible light- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsive pressure/strain sensor based on carbon dot (CD)-loaded conductive hydrogel was developed for detecting high-fat diet (HFD) and preventing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The designed nanoparticle consisted of a diselenide polymer dot (dsPD) loaded with a visible light-responsive CD to form dsPD@CD (DSCD). The influence of visible light irradiation and ROS on DSCD facilitated the electron transport, enhancing the conductivity of DSCD-embedded hydrogel (DSCD hydrogel) from 1.3 to 35.9 mS/m. Alternatively, the tensile modulus of the DSCD hydrogel enhanced to 223 % after light-induced ROS treatment, which simultaneously impacted the capacitive response (120 %). The hydrogel implantation into inguinal white adipose tissue of HFD mice showed 82 % higher conductivity and 83 % enhanced pressure sensing response to HFD-generated high ROS levels compared with the normal diet-fed mice. Additionally, the ROS scavenging activity of DSCD hydrogel was confirmed by the downregulation of ROS-responsive genes, such as Sod2, Nrf2, and catalase (Cat) in murine primary hepatocytes isolated from fatty liver-induced mice. In addition, in vivo animal studies also confirmed the suppression of hepatic lipogenesis, as shown by decreased Pparγ and Fasn expression and hypertrophy of adipocytes in HFD mice. The distinguishable real-time wireless resistance response observed with pressure sensing indicates the potential application of the device for monitoring the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: A visible-light-induced ROS-responsive carbon dot-loaded conductive hydrogel was developed for the detection of HFD-induced alterations in ROS levels by evaluating the conductivity and electrochemical responses with applied pressure/strain. The implanted hydrogel facilitates the recovery of the inflated adipocytes induced by NAFLD, which reduces fat accumulation in the liver, preventing the risk of NAFLD. Real-time detection based on the resistance response during local compression of the hydrogel is possibly performed utilizing a wireless sensing device, demonstrating the ease of NAFLD monitoring.

Abstract
Low mass transfer efficiency and unavoidable matrix effects seriously limit the development of rapid and accurate determination of biosensing systems. Herein, we have successfully constructed an ultra-rapid nanoconfinement-enhanced fluorescence clinical detection platform based on machine learning (ML) and DNA xerogel "probe", which was performed by detecting neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL, protein biomarker of acute kidney injury). By regulating pore sizes of the xerogels, the transfer of NGAL in xerogels can approximate that in homogeneous solution. Due to electrostatic attraction of the pore entrances, NGAL rapidly enriches on the surface and inside the xerogels. The reaction rate of NGAL and aptamer cross-linked in xerogels is also accelerated because of the nanoconfinement effect-induced increasing reactant concentration and the enhanced affinity constant KD between reactants, which can be promoted by ∼667-fold than that in bulk solution, thus achieving ultra-rapid detection (ca. 5 min) of human urine. The platform could realize one-step detection without sample pretreatments due to the antiligand exchange effect on the surface of N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CQDs) in xerogels, in which ligand exchange between -COOH and underlying interfering ions in urine will be inhibited due to higher adsorption energy of -COOH on the N-CQD surface relative to the interfering ions. Based on the ML-extended program, the real-time analysis of the urine fluorescence spectra can be completed within 2 s. Interestingly, by changing DNA, aptamer sequences, or xerogel fluorescence intensities, the detection platform can be customized for targeted diseases.

Abstract
It is a great challenge to develop an effective super-sensitive capture method for multiplex heavy metal ions (HMIs), because HMIs is extremely toxic to public health and the environment, what's more their contamination is usually multiplex ions pollution. In this work, a 3D high-porous conductive polymer hydrogel was designed and prepared with high-stable and easy mass production, which is very favorable for the industrialization. The polymer hydrogel (g-C3N4-P(Ani-Py)-PAAM) was formed from the mixture of aniline pyrrole copolymer and acrylamide cross-linked with phytic acid as dopant and cross-linker and integrated with g-C3N4. The 3D networked high-porous hydrogel not only exhibits excellent electrical conductivity, but also provides a large surface area for increasing the number of immobilized ions. Importantly, the 3D high-porous conductive polymer hydrogel was applied successfully in electrochemical multiplex sensing of HIMs. The prepared sensor used differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry exhibited high sensitivities, low detection limit and wide detection ranges for Cd2+, Pb2+, Hg2+ and Cu2+, respectively. Moreover, the sensor showed a high accuracy in lake water test. The preparation and application of the hydrogel in electrochemical sensor provided an availability strategy to capture and detect the various HMIs by electrochemistry in solution and has great commercial application prospect.

JOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY. B, BIOLOGY 2023; 245:112750. [PMID: 37419056 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2023.112750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 06/21/2023] [Indexed: 07/09/2023]
Abstract
Interpenetrated network (IPN) hydrogels with desired mechanical properties were prepared based on gelatin. A copolymer of dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) with 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS) in gelatin was chemically cross-linked with methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) to form a semi-IPN hydrogel. Also, IPN hydrogel is fabricated from the AMPS-co-DMAEMA and gelatin in the presence of ferric ions with both chemical and physical cross-linkers. According to the compression test, the metal-ligand interaction has a remarkable impact on the mechanical strength of hydrogel. Ferric ions caused a decrease in the pores size confirmed by the SEM images of hydrogels, resulting in preserving its mechanical stability during the swelling test due to a more robust structure of hydrogel. Ferric to ferrous ions reduction is observed under visible light irradiation, which results in a light-sensitive hydrogel with a higher rate of biodegradation compared to semi-IPN hydrogels. MTT assay results implied that the synthesized hydrogels are non-toxic for the L-929 cell line. Also, for more detailed investigations, histological studies are conducted as in vivo tests. With regards to the improvements of mechanical properties harnessed in IPN hydrogels by ferric ions along with the extraordinary self-healing capability, IPNs would be considered an appropriate option for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Flexible bioelectronics exhibit promising potential for health monitoring, owing to their soft and stretchable nature. However, the simultaneous improvement of mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and signal-to-noise ratio of these devices for health monitoring poses a significant challenge. Hydrogels, with their loose three-dimensional network structure that encapsulates massive amounts of water, are a potential solution. Through the incorporation of polymers or conductive fillers into the hydrogel and special preparation methods, hydrogels can achieve a unification of excellent properties such as mechanical properties, self-healing, adhesion, and biocompatibility, making them a hot material for health monitoring bioelectronics. Currently, hydrogel-based bioelectronics can be used to fabricate flexible bioelectronics for motion, bioelectric, and biomolecular acquisition for human health monitoring and further clinical applications. This review focuses on materials, devices, and applications for hydrogel-based bioelectronics. The main material properties and research advances of hydrogels for health monitoring bioelectronics are summarized firstly. Then, we provide a focused discussion on hydrogel-based bioelectronics for health monitoring, which are classified as skin-attachable, implantable, or semi-implantable depending on the depth of penetration and the location of the device. Finally, future challenges and opportunities of hydrogel-based bioelectronics for health monitoring are envisioned.

Abstract
Selective delivery of anticancer drug molecules to the tumor site enhances local drug dosages, which leads to the death of cancer cells while simultaneously minimizing the negative effects of chemotherapy on other tissues, thereby improving the patient's quality of life. To address this need, we developed reduction-responsive chitosan-based injectable hydrogels via the inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction between tetrazine groups of disulfide-based cross-linkers and norbornene groups of chitosan derivatives, which were applied to the controlled delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). The swelling ratio, gelation time (90-500 s), mechanical strength (G'~350-850 Pa), network morphology, and drug-loading efficiency (≥92%) of developed hydrogels were investigated. The in vitro release studies of the DOX-loaded hydrogels were performed at pH 7.4 and 5.0 with and without DTT (10 mM). The biocompatibility of pure hydrogel and the in vitro anticancer activity of DOX-loaded hydrogels were demonstrated via MTT assay on HEK-293 and HT-29 cancer cell lines, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multifunctional hydrogels with controllable degradation and drug release have attracted extensive attention in diabetic wound healing. This study focused on the acceleration of diabetic wound healing with selenide-linked polydopamine-reinforced hybrid hydrogels with on-demand degradation and light-triggered nanozyme release. METHODS Herein, selenium-containing hybrid hydrogels, defined as DSeP@PB, were fabricated via the reinforcement of selenol-end capping polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels by polydopamine nanoparticles (PDANPs) and Prussian blue nanozymes in a one-pot approach in the absence of any other chemical additive or organic solvent based on diselenide and selenide bonding-guided crosslinking, making them accessible for large-scale mass production. RESULTS Reinforcement by PDANPs greatly increases the mechanical properties of the hydrogels, realizing excellent injectability and flexible mechanical properties for DSeP@PB. Dynamic diselenide introduction endowed the hydrogels with on-demand degradation under reducing or oxidizing conditions and light-triggered nanozyme release. The bioactivity of Prussian blue nanozymes afforded the hydrogels with efficient antibacterial, ROS-scavenging and immunomodulatory effects, which protected cells from oxidative damage and reduced inflammation. Further animal studies indicated that DSeP@PB under red light irradiation showed the most efficient wound healing activity by stimulating angiogenesis and collagen deposition and inhibiting inflammation. CONCLUSION The combined merits of DSeP@PB (on-demand degradation, light-triggered release, flexible mechanical robustness, antibacterial, ROS-scavenging and immunomodulatory capacities) enable its high potential as a new hydrogel dressing that can be harnessed for safe and efficient therapeutics for diabetic wound healing.

Abstract
Although nanoparticle-based chemotherapeutic strategies have gained in popularity, the efficacy of such therapies is still limited in part due to the different nanoparticle sizes needed to best accommodate different parts of the drug delivery pathway. Herein, we describe a nanogel-based nanoassembly based on the entrapment of ultrasmall starch nanoparticles (size 10-40 nm) within disulfide-crosslinked chondroitin sulfate-based nanogels (size 150-250 nm) to address this challenge. Upon exposure of the nanoassembly to the reductive tumor microenvironment, the chondroitin sulfate-based nanogel can degrade to release the doxorubicin-loaded starch nanoparticles in the tumor to facilitate improved intratumoral penetration. CT26 colon carcinoma spheroids could be efficiently penetrated by the nanoassembly (resulting in 1 order of magnitude higher DOX-derived fluorescence inside the spheroid relative to free DOX), while in vivo experiments showed that doxorubicin-loaded nanoassemblies reduced tumor sizes by 6× relative to saline controls and 2× relative to free DOX after 21 days. Together, these data suggest that nanogel-based nanoassemblies are a viable option for improving the efficacy and safety of nanoparticle-based drug delivery vehicles treating cancer.

Abstract
Hydrogels, as one of the most feasible soft biomaterials, have gained considerable attention in therapeutic applications by virtue of their tunable properties including superior patient compliance, good biocompatibility and biodegradation, and high cargo-loading efficiency. However, hydrogel application is still limited by some challenges like inefficient encapsulation, easy leakage of loaded cargoes, and the lack of controllability. Recently, nanoarchitecture-integrated hydrogel systems were found to be therapeutics with optimized properties, extending their bioapplication. In this review, we briefly presented the category of hydrogels according to their synthetic materials and further discussed the advantages in bioapplication. Additionally, various applications of nanoarchitecture hybrid hydrogels in biomedical engineering are systematically summarized, including cancer therapy, wound healing, cardiac repair, bone regeneration, diabetes therapy, and obesity therapy. Last, the current challenges, limitations, and future perspectives in the future development of nanoarchitecture-integrated flexible hydrogels are addressed.

Abstract
Hydrogels have extremely high moisture content, which makes it very soft and excellently biocompatible. They have become an important soft material and have a wide range of applications in various fields such as biomedicine, bionic smart material, and electrochemistry. Carbon dot (CD)-based hydrogels are based on carbon dots (CDs) and auxiliary substances, forming a gel material with comprehensive properties of individual components. CDs embedding in hydrogels could not only solve their aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) effect, but also manipulate the properties of hydrogels and even bring some novel properties, achieving a win-win situation. In this review, the preparation methods, formation mechanism, and properties of CD-based hydrogels, and their applications in biomedicine, sensing, adsorption, energy storage, and catalysis -are summarized. Finally, a brief discussion on future research directions of CD-based hydrogels will be given.

Abstract
The development of green, biomedical hydrogels using natural polymers is of great significance. From this viewpoint, guar gum (GG) has been widely used for hydrogel preparation; however, its mechanical strength and adhesion often cannot satisfy the biomedical application. Therefore, in the present study, gelatin and a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) were first applied to overcome the defects of guar gum hydrogel. Dopamine was self−polymerized into polydopamine (PDA) on the gelatin chain at alkaline condition, and gelatin−polydopamine (Gel−PDA) further cross−linked with guar gum and CNC via the borate−didiol bond, intramolecular Schiff base reaction, and Michael addition. CNC not only interacted with guar gum using borate chemistry but also acted as a mechanical reinforcer. The obtained Gel−PDA+GG+CNC hydrogel had an excellent self−healing capacity, injectability, and adhesion due to the catechol groups of PDA. Moreover, dopamine introduction caused a significant increase in the anti−oxidant activity. This hydrogel was cyto− and hemo−compatible, which implies a potential usage in the medical field.

Diselenide-triggered hydroxyethyl starch conjugate nanoparticles with cascade drug release properties for potentiating chemo-photodynamic therapy. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 311:120748. [PMID: 37028875 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120748] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2022] [Revised: 02/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/04/2023]
Abstract
A novel type of diselenide bond-bridged hydroxyethyl starch-doxorubicin conjugate, HES-SeSe-DOX, was synthesized via a specially designed multistep synthetic route. The optimally achieved HES-SeSe-DOX was further combined with photosensitizer, chlorin E6 (Ce6), to self-assemble into HES-SeSe-DOX/Ce6 nanoparticles (NPs) for potentiating chemo-photodynamic anti-tumor therapy via diselenide-triggered cascade actions. HES-SeSe-DOX/Ce6 NPs were observed to disintegrate through the cleavage or oxidation of diselenide-bridged linkages in response to the stimuli arising from glutathione (GSH), hydrogen peroxide and Ce6-induced singlet oxygen, respectively, as evidenced by the enlarged size with irregular shapes and cascade drug release. In vitro cell studies exhibited that HES-SeSe-DOX/Ce6 NPs in combination with laser irradiation effectively consumed intracellular GSH and promoted a large rise in levels of reactive oxygen species in tumor cells, actuating the disruption of intracellular redox balance and the enhanced chemo-photodynamic cytotoxicity against tumor cells. The in vivo investigations revealed that HES-SeSe-DOX/Ce6 NPs were inclined to accumulate in tumors with persistent fluorescence emission, inhibited tumor growth with high efficacy and had good safety. These findings demonstrate the potential of HES-SeSe-DOX/Ce6 NPs for use in chemo-photodynamic tumor therapy and suggest their viability for clinical translation.

Abstract
In this work, we investigated the effect of the size and the chemical structure of crosslinkers on the properties of hyaluronic acid-based hydrogels prepared via an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction. Hydrogels having loose and dense networks were designed by cross-linkers with and without polyethylene glycol (PEG) spacers of different molecular weights (1000 and 4000 g/mol). The study showed that the properties of hydrogels such as swelling ratios (20-55 times), morphology, stability, mechanical strength (storage modulus in the range 175-858 Pa), and drug loading efficiency (87 % ~ 90 %) were greatly influenced by the addition of PEG and changing its molecular weight in the cross-linker. Particularly, the presence of PEG chains in redox- responsive crosslinkers increased the doxorubicin release (85 %, after 168 h) and the degradation rate (96 %, after 10 d) of hydrogels in the simulated reducing medium (10 mM DTT). The in vitro cytotoxicity experiments conducted for HEK-293 cells revealed that the formulated hydrogels were biocompatible, which could be a promising candidate for drug delivery applications.

Abstract
A hydrogel that fuses long-term biologic integration, multimodal responsiveness, and therapeutic functions has received increasing interest as a wearable and implantable sensor but still faces great challenges as an all-in-one sensor by itself. Multiple bonding with stimuli response in a biocompatible hydrogel lights up the field of soft hydrogel interfaces suitable for both wearable and implantable applications. Given that, we proposed a strategy of combining chemical cross-linking and stimuli-responsive physical interactions to construct a biocompatible multifunctional hydrogel. In this hydrogel system, ureidopyrimidinone/tyramine (Upy/Tyr) difunctionalization of gelatin provides abundant dynamic physical interactions and stable covalent cross-linking; meanwhile, Tyr-doped poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) acts as a conductive filler to establish electrical percolation networks through enzymatic chemical cross-linking. Thus, the hydrogel is characterized with improved conductivity, conformal biointegration features (i.e., high stretchability, rapid self-healing, and excellent tissue adhesion), and multistimuli-responsive conductivity (i.e., temperature and urea). On the basis of these excellent performances, the prepared multifunctional hydrogel enables multimodal wearable sensing integration that can simultaneously track both physicochemical and electrophysiological attributes (i.e., motion, temperature, and urea), providing a more comprehensive monitoring of human health than current wearable monitors. In addition, the electroactive hydrogel here can serve as a bidirectional neural interface for both neural recording and therapeutic electrostimulation, bringing more opportunities for nonsurgical diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Abstract
Novel biomaterials for bio- and chemical sensing applications have gained considerable traction in the diagnostic community with rising trends of using biocompatible and lowly cytotoxic material. Hydrogel-based electrochemical sensors have become a promising candidate for their swellable, nano-/microporous, and aqueous 3D structures capable of immobilizing catalytic enzymes, electroactive species, whole cells, and complex tissue models, while maintaining tunable mechanical properties in wearable and implantable applications. With advances in highly controllable fabrication and processability of these novel biomaterials, the possibility of bio-nanocomposite hydrogel-based electrochemical sensing presents a paradigm shift in the development of biocompatible, "smart," and sensitive health monitoring point-of-care devices. Here, recent advances in electrochemical hydrogels for the detection of biomarkers in vitro, in situ, and in vivo are briefly reviewed to demonstrate their applicability in ideal conditions, in complex cellular environments, and in live animal models, respectively, to provide a comprehensive assessment of whether these biomaterials are ready for point-of-care translation and biointegration. Sensors based on conductive and nonconductive polymers are presented, with highlights of nano-/microstructured electrodes that provide enhanced sensitivity and selectivity in biocompatible matrices. An outlook on current challenges that shall be addressed for the realization of truly continuous real-time sensing platforms is also presented.

Abstract
Flexible polymeric patches find widespread applications in biomedicine because of their biological and tunable features including excellent patient compliance, superior biocompatibility and biodegradation, as well as high loading capability and permeability of drug. Such polymeric patches are classified into microneedles (MNs), hydrogel, microcapsule, microsphere and fiber depending on the formed morphology. The combination of nanomaterials with polymeric patches allows for improved advantages of increased curative efficacy and lowered systemic toxicity, promoting on-demand and regulated drug administration, thus providing the great potential to their clinic translation. In this review, the category of flexible polymeric patches that are utilized to integrate with nanomaterials is briefly presented and their advantages in bioapplications are further discussed. The applications of nanomaterials embedded polymeric patches in non-cancerous diseases were also systematically reviewed, including diabetes therapy, wound healing, dermatological disease therapy, bone regeneration, cardiac repair, hair repair, obesity therapy and some immune disease therapy. Alternatively, the limitations, latest challenges and future perspectives of such biomedical therapeutic devices are addressed. The most explored polymeric patches, such as microneedle, hydrogel, microsphere, microcapsule, and fiber are summarized. Polymeric patches integrated with a diversity of nanomaterials are systematically overviewed in non-cancer therapy. The future prospective for the development of polymeric patch based nanotherapeutics is discussed.

Abstract
Benefiting from the stimuli-responsive property and powerful loading capacity, functionalized hydrogels are favorable for the fabrication of sensing devices. Herein, we design aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active hydrogel discs by embedding gold nanoclusters@zeolite-like imidazole framework (AuNCs@ZIF) composites in double-network hydrogels to build a sensitive pesticide biosensor. The hydrogel discs integrate an AIE effect of AuNCs, a stimuli-responsive property of ZIF, and a porous network structure of the hydrogel, which enhances the sensing sensitivity via boosting the stable fluorescent signal and antifouling performance. In conjunction with a homemade device, the fluorescence images of hydrogel discs could be transduced into data information for accurate quantification of chlorpyrifos pesticide with a detection limit of 0.2 ng/mL. The dynamic degradation of chlorpyrifos in Chinese cabbage is demonstrated to confirm the practical application of hydrogel discs. Such AIE-active hydrogel discs could be a plant health sensor for the on-site quantification of pesticide residues on crops, holding great promise for precision agriculture.

Abstract
Mycotoxin contamination in foodstuffs and agricultural products has posed a serious hazard to human health and raised international concern. The progress of cost-effective, facile, rapid and reliable analytical tools for mycotoxin determination is in urgent need. In this regard, the potential utility of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as a class of crystalline porous materials has sparked immense attention due to their large specific surface area, adjustable pore size, nanoscale framework structure and good chemical stability. The amalgamation of MOFs with high-affinity aptamers has resulted in the progress of advanced aptasensing methods for clinical and food/water safety diagnosis. Aptamers have many advantages over classical approaches as exceptional molecular recognition constituents for versatile bioassays tools. The excellent sensitivity and selectivity of the MOF-aptamer biocomposite nominate them as efficient lab-on-chip tools for portable, label-free, cost-effective and real-time screening of mycotoxins. Current breakthroughs in the concept, progress and biosensing applications of aptamer functionalized MOFs-derived electrochemical and optical sensors for mycotoxins have been discussed in this study. We first highlighted an overview part, which provides some insights into the functionalization mechanisms of MOFs with aptamers, offering a foundation to create MOFs-based aptasensors. Then, we discuss various strategies to design high-performance MOFs-based aptamer scaffolds, which serve as either signal nanoprobe carriers or signal nanoprobes and their applications. We perceived that applications of optical aptamers are in their infancy in comparison with electrochemical MOFs-derived aptasensors. Finally, current challenges and prospective trends of MOFs-aptamer sensors are discussed.

Abstract
Chemodynamic therapy (CDT) is a promising cancer treatment strategy to induce tumor cell apoptosis with harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS), yet over-expression of glutathione (GSH) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) severely depletes the ROS and limits the CDT efficacy. Copper-containing materials could efficiently decrease the level of GSH in the TME. In this study, copper nanocrystalline-doped folic acid-based super carbon dots (FA-CDs@Cux) were prepared to realize an enhanced antitumor effect in response to tumor microenvironment stimuli. Folic acid (FA) was used as a source of carbon dots to improve the targetability of nanomaterials to tumor cells with over-expressed FA receptors. Copper existed mainly in the form of copper nanocrystals, which were embedded on the carbon core by in situ reduction of Cu2+ by gluconic acid. The prepared composites were found to reduce the intracellular H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals (˙OH) and consume GSH efficiently in tumor cells. Copper-doping enabled the CDs to absorb near-infrared light and to give a high photothermal transformation efficiency (54.3%) and high singlet oxygen atom yield (56.83%), endowing the super carbon dots with synergetic CDT/PTT/PDT functions in response to the TME and NIR stimuli, which have been investigated systematically by in vitro and in vivo biological experiments.

Abstract
Gelatin is a natural protein from animal tissue with excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, biosafety, low cost, and sol-gel property. By taking advantage of these properties, gelatin is considered to be an ideal component for the fabrication of biosensors. In recent years, biosensors with gelatin have been widely used for detecting various analytes, such as glucose, hydrogen peroxide, urea, amino acids, and pesticides, in the fields of medical diagnosis, food testing, and environmental monitoring. This perspective is an overview of the most recent trends and progress in the development of gelatin-based biosensors, which are classified by the function of gelatin as a matrix for immobilized biorecognition materials or as a biorecognition material for detecting target analytes.

Abstract
Developing highly efficient pharmaceuticals to eradicate pathogens and facilitate wound healing is of great concern. Despite some cationic carbon dots (CDs) have been used for sterilization, hardly any anionic CDs with antimicrobial activity have appeared. In the present work, we engineered a string of anionic CDs (especially CD31) as valid broad-spectrum bactericides to kill bacteria. Furthermore, CD31 conjugated with ɛ-polylysine (Plys) to construct injectable, and self-healing hydrogel (CD-Plys) that possess the advantages of remarkable broad spectrum antibacterial activity, excellent wound healing ability and satisfied biocompatibility. CD-Plys could dramatically accelerate wound healing with epithelization and enhanced angiogenesis. Taken together, this work provides a two-pronged strategy to explore CDs-based antimicrobial agents for disease therapy and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Interfacial adhesion under extreme conditions has attracted increasing attention owing to its potential application of stopping leakages of oil or natural gas. However, interfacial adhesion is rarely stable at ultralow temperatures and in organic solvents, necessitating the elucidation of the molecular-level processes. Herein, we used the intermolecular force-control strategy to prepare four linear polymers by tuning the proportion of hydrogen bonding and the number of electrostatic sites. The obtained polymeric ion liquids displayed strong dynamic adhesion at various interfaces. They also efficiently tolerated organic solvents and ultracold temperatures. Highly reversible rheological behaviors are observed within a thermal cycle between high and ultracold temperatures. Temperature-dependent infrared spectra and theoretical calculation reveal thermal reversibility and interfacial adhesion/debonding processes at the molecular level, respectively. This intermolecular force-control strategy may be applied to produce environmentally adaptive functional materials for real applications.

Abstract
The stimuli-responsiveness of injectable hydrogel has been drastically developed for the controlled release of drugs and achieved encouraging curative effects in a variety of diseases including wounds, cardiovascular diseases and tumors. The gelation, swelling and degradation of such hydrogels respond to endogenous biochemical factors (such as pH, reactive oxygen species, glutathione, enzymes, glucose) and/or to exogenous physical stimulations (like light, magnetism, electricity and ultrasound), thereby accurately releasing loaded drugs in response to specifically pathological status and as desired for treatment plan and thus improving therapeutic efficacy effectively. In this paper, we give a detailed introduction of recent progresses in responsive injectable hydrogels and focus on the design strategy of various stimuli-sensitivities and their resultant alteration of gel dissociation and drug liberation behaviour. Their application in disease treatment is also discussed. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is a dynamically developing field of science, due to the unique physical, chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. Innovative structures using nanotechnology have found application in diverse fields: in agricultural and food industries, where they improve the quality and safety of food; in medical and biological sciences; cosmetology; and many other areas of our lives. In this article, a particular attention is focused on carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene, as well as carbon nanotubes and carbon quantum dots that have been successfully used in biotechnology, biomedicine and broadly defined environmental applications. Some properties of carbon nanomaterials prevent their direct use. One example is the difficulty in synthesizing graphene-based materials resulting from the tendency of graphene to aggregate. This results in a limitation of their use in certain fields. Therefore, in order to achieve a wider use and better availability of nanoparticles, they are introduced into matrices, most often polysaccharides with a high hydrophilicity. Such composites can compete with synthetic polymers. For this purpose, the carbon-based nanoparticles in polysaccharides matrices were characterized. The paper presents the progress of ground-breaking research in the field of designing innovative carbon-based nanomaterials, and applications of nanotechnology in diverse fields that are currently being developed is of high interest and shows great innovative potential.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels have been studied as promising materials for the flexible and wearable bioelectronics, because of their unique electrical and mechanical properties. Addition of conducting polymers in biomaterial-based hydrogel matrix is a simple yet effective way to construct hydrogels with good conductivity and flexibility. In this work, a conductive hydrogel composed by a silk hydrogel and a conducting polymer, polypyrrole (PPy), is developed via in-situ polymerization of pyrrole into the silk fibroin network. The silk-PPy hydrogel shows high conductivity (26 S/m), as well as sensitive and fast responses to corresponding conformation changes. Taking advantages of these properties, flexible and wearable strain sensors are proposed for the monitoring of various body movements, which can detect both the large and subtle human motions with good sensitivity, reproducibility and stability. The hybridization of biomaterials and conducting polymers endows the multifunctions of the conductive hydrogels, thus showing considerable potentials in the advancement of the wearable electronics.

Abstract
Tissue engineering is a promising and revolutionary strategy to treat patients who suffer the loss or failure of an organ or tissue, with the aim to restore the dysfunctional tissues and enhance life expectancy. Supramolecular adhesive hydrogels are emerging as appealing materials for tissue engineering applications owing to their favorable attributes such as tailorable structure, inherent flexibility, excellent biocompatibility, near-physiological environment, dynamic mechanical strength, and particularly attractive self-adhesiveness. In this review, the key design principles and various supramolecular strategies to construct adhesive hydrogels are comprehensively summarized. Thereafter, the recent research progress regarding their tissue engineering applications, including primarily dermal tissue repair, muscle tissue repair, bone tissue repair, neural tissue repair, vascular tissue repair, oral tissue repair, corneal tissue repair, cardiac tissue repair, fetal membrane repair, hepatic tissue repair, and gastric tissue repair, is systematically highlighted. Finally, the scientific challenges and the remaining opportunities are underlined to show a full picture of the supramolecular adhesive hydrogels. This review is expected to offer comparative views and critical insights to inspire more advanced studies on supramolecular adhesive hydrogels and pave the way for different fields even beyond tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanostructured materials and unconventional device designs have transformed the bioelectronics from a rigid and bulky form into a soft and ultrathin form and brought enormous advantages to the bioelectronics. For example, mechanical deformability of the soft bioelectronics and thus its conformal contact onto soft curved organs such as brain, heart, and skin have allowed researchers to measure high-quality biosignals, deliver real-time feedback treatments, and lower long-term side-effects in vivo. Here, we review various materials, fabrication methods, and device strategies for flexible and stretchable electronics, especially focusing on soft biointegrated electronics using nanomaterials and their composites. First, we summarize top-down material processing and bottom-up synthesis methods of various nanomaterials. Next, we discuss state-of-the-art technologies for intrinsically stretchable nanocomposites composed of nanostructured materials incorporated in elastomers or hydrogels. We also briefly discuss unconventional device design strategies for soft bioelectronics. Then individual device components for soft bioelectronics, such as biosensing, data storage, display, therapeutic stimulation, and power supply devices, are introduced. Afterward, representative application examples of the soft bioelectronics are described. A brief summary with a discussion on remaining challenges concludes the review.

Abstract
Tumor-microenvironment (TME) responsive nanostructures are attractive for drug delivery in clinical cancer treatment. The coordination polymer Fe-gallic acid (Fe-GA) is one of the promising drug carriers due to its pH-response, good biocompatibility, and minimal side effects. However, the hollow nanostructures of Fe-GA have not been reported until now, which seriously limits the quantity of drug delivery. Herein, hollow Fe-GA nanospheres were prepared for the first time with bovine serum albumin (BSA) combination (denoted as Fe-GA/BSA) under mild reaction conditions. Then, the antitumor drug doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded in the hollow Fe-GA/BSA to obtain Fe-GA/BSA@DOX. A series of experiments in vitro and in vivo indicated that the Fe-GA/BSA@DOX could efficiently respond to TME and release DOX and Fe(iii) ions. Furthermore, the Fe(iii) could consume overexpressed glutathione (GSH) in cancer cells and generate Fe(ii) to trigger the Fenton reaction, producing ·OH for chemodynamic treatment (CDT) of cancer. In addition, the Fe-GA/BSA@DOX could effectively convert near-infrared (NIR) light into heat by acting as a photothermal therapy (PTT) agent. Besides that, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data also showed that the Fe-GA/BSA had beneficial T1 and T2 imaging effects, demonstrating that the hollow Fe-GA/BSA has potential for multimodal synergistic cancer MRI diagnosis and therapies of drugs, CDT, and PTT.

Abstract
AbstractContemporary medicine suffers from many shortcomings in terms of successful disease diagnosis and treatment, both of which rely on detection capacity and timing. The lack of effective, reliable, and affordable detection and real‐time monitoring limits the affordability of timely diagnosis and treatment. A new frontier that overcomes these challenges relies on smart health monitoring systems that combine wearable sensors and an analytical modulus. This review presents the latest advances in smart materials for the development of multifunctional wearable sensors while providing a bird's eye‐view of their characteristics, functions, and applications. The review also presents the state‐of‐the‐art on wearables fitted with artificial intelligence (AI) and support systems for clinical decision in early detection and accurate diagnosis of disorders. The ongoing challenges and future prospects for providing personal healthcare with AI‐assisted support systems relating to clinical decisions are presented and discussed.

Abstract
Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are an emerging class of quasi-zero-dimensional photoluminescent nanomaterials with particle sizes less than 10 nm. Owing to their favourable water dispersion, strong chemical inertia, stable optical performance, and good biocompatibility, CQDs have become prominent in biomedical fields. CQDs can be fabricated by “top-down” and “bottom-up” methods, both of which involve oxidation, carbonization, pyrolysis and polymerization. The functions of CQDs include biological imaging, biosensing, drug delivery, gene carrying, antimicrobial performance, photothermal ablation and so on, which enable them to be utilized in antitumour applications. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of CQDs in antitumour applications from preparation and characterization to application prospects. Furthermore, the challenges and opportunities of CQDs are discussed along with future perspectives for precise individual therapy of tumours.
