Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers are a 3D scaffold of choice for many drug delivery devices due to their high surface area, significant capacity for drug payload, ease of in situ placement, and scalable manufacture. Herein, we report the synthesis of polymeric, pH-responsive nanofiber buttresses via electrospinning. The homopolymer is comprised of an acrylic backbone with acid-sensitive, hydrolyzable, trimethoxybenzaldehyde-protected side chains that lead to buttress transformation from a hydrophobic to a hydrophilic state under physiologically relevant pH conditions (e.g., extracellular tumor environment with pH = 6.5). Hydrolysis of the side chains leads to an increase in fiber diameter from approximately 350 to 900 nm and the release of the encapsulated drug cargo. In vitro drug release profiles demonstrate that significantly more drug is released at pH 5.5 compared to pH 7.4, thereby limiting the release to the target site, with docetaxel releasing over 20 days and doxorubicin over 7 days. Drug burst release, defined as >50% within 24 hours, does not occur at either pH or with either drug. Drug-loaded buttresses preserve drug activity and are cytotoxic to multiple human cancer lines, including breast and lung. Important to their potential application in surgical applications, the tensile strength of the buttresses is 6.3 kPa and, though weaker than commercially available buttresses, they provide sufficient flexibility and mechanical integrity to serve as buttressing materials via the application with a conventional surgical cutting stapler.

Abstract
Natural compounds bearing maleimide rings are a series of secondary metabolites derived from fungi/marine microorganisms, which are characterized by a general structure -CO-N(R)-CO-, and the R group is normally substituted with alkyl or aryl groups. Maleimide compounds show various biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, and anticancer activity. In this review, the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activities of 15 maleimide compounds from natural sources and 32 artificially synthesized maleimides were summarized, especially against Candida albicans, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, and Staphylococcus aureus. It highlights that maleimide scaffold has tremendous potential to be utilized in the development of novel antimicrobial agents.

Abstract
Biomolecule immobilization has attracted the attention of various fields such as fine chemistry and biomedicine for their use in several applications such as wastewater, immunosensors, biofuels, et cetera. The performance of immobilized biomolecules depends on the substrate and the immobilization method utilized. Electrospun nanofibers act as an excellent substrate for immobilization due to their large surface area to volume ratio and interconnectivity. While biomolecules can be immobilized using adsorption and encapsulation, covalent immobilization offers a way to permanently fix the material to the fiber surface resulting in high efficiency, good specificity, and excellent stability. This review aims to highlight the various covalent immobilization techniques being utilized and their benefits and drawbacks. These methods typically fall into two categories: (1) direct immobilization and (2) use of crosslinkers. Direct immobilization techniques are usually simple and utilize the strong electrophilic functional groups on the nanofiber. While crosslinkers are used as an intermediary between the nanofiber substrate and the biomolecule, with some crosslinkers being present in the final product and others simply facilitating the reactions. We aim to provide an explanation of each immobilization technique, biomolecules commonly paired with said technique and the benefit of immobilization over the free biomolecule.

Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:E1211.

Abstract
Multifunctionalizable hydrogel coatings on titanium interfaces are useful in a wide range of biomedical applications utilizing titanium-based materials. In this study, furan-protected maleimide groups containing multi-clickable biocompatible hydrogel layers are fabricated on a titanium surface. Upon thermal treatment, the masked maleimide groups within the hydrogel are converted to thiol-reactive maleimide groups. The thiol-reactive maleimide group allows facile functionalization of these hydrogels through the thiol-maleimide nucleophilic addition and Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions, under mild conditions. Additionally, the strained alkene unit in the furan-protected maleimide moiety undergoes radical thiol-ene reaction, as well as the inverse-electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction with tetrazine containing molecules. Taking advantage of photo-initiated thiol-ene 'click' reactions, we demonstrate spatially controlled immobilization of the fluorescent dye thiol-containing boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY-SH). Lastly, we establish that the extent of functionalization on hydrogels can be controlled by attachment of biotin-benzyl-tetrazine, followed by immobilization of TRITC-labelled ExtrAvidin. Being versatile and practical, we believe that the described multifunctional and transformable 'clickable' hydrogels on titanium-based substrates described here can find applications in areas involving modification of the interface with bioactive entities.

Abstract
A current challenge in materials science and biotechnology is to express a specific and controlled functionality on the large interfacial area of a nanostructured material to create smart biohybrid systems for targeted applications. Here, we report on a biohybrid system featuring poly(vinyl alcohol) as the supporting synthetic polymer and bovine serum albumin as the biofunctional element. The optimal processing conditions to produce these self-standing composite membranes are determined, and the composition and distribution of the bioactive agent within the polymeric matrices are analyzed. A post-processing cross-linking using glutaraldehyde enables this functional membrane to be used as a chemical filter in aqueous environments. By demonstrating that our mats can remove large amounts of ketoprofen from water, we show that the combination of a BSA-induced biofunctionality with a nanostructured fibrous material allows for the development of an efficient biohybrid filtering device for the large and widely used family of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). The crystal structure of the complex between BSA and ketoprofen is determined for the first time and confirms the interaction between the two species.
