Abstract
Thermally-induced in-situ gelation of polymers and nanogels is of significant importance for injectable non-invasive tissue engineering and delivery systems of drug delivery system. In this study, we for the first time demonstrated that the interpenetrating (IPN) nanogel with two networks of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and poly (N-Acryloyl-l-phenylalanine) (PAphe) underwent a reversible temperature-triggered sol-gel transition and formed a structural color gel above the phase transition temperature (Tp). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) studies confirmed that the Tp of IPN nanogels are the same as that of PNIPAM, independent of Aphe content of the IPN nanogels at pH of 6.5 ∼ 7.4. The rheological and optical properties of IPN nanogels during sol-gel transition were studied by rheometer and optical fiber spectroscopy. The results showed that the gelation time of the hydrogel photonic crystals assembled by IPN nanogel was affected by temperature, PAphe composition, concentration, and sequence of interpenetration. As the temperature rose above the Tp, the Bragg reflection peak of IPN nanogels exhibited blue shift due to the shrinkage of IPN nanogels. In addition, these colored IPN nanogels demonstrated good injectability and had no obvious cytotoxicity. These IPN nanogels will open an avenue to the preparation and thermally-induced in-situ gelation of novel NIPAM-based nanogel system.

Abstract
Targeted nanoparticles offer potential to selectively deliver therapeutics to cells; however, their subcellular fate following endocytosis must be understood to properly design mechanisms of drug release. Here we describe a nanoparticle platform and associated cell-based assay to observe lysosome trafficking of targeted nanoparticles in live cells. The nanoparticle platform utilizes two fluorescent dyes loaded onto PEG-poly(glutamic acid) and PEG-poly(Lysine) block co-polymers that also comprise azide reactive handles on PEG termini to attach antibody-based targeting ligands. Fluorophores were selected to be pH-sensitive (pHrodo Red) or pH-insensitive (Alexafluor 488) to report when nanoparticles enter low pH lysosomes. Dye-labelled block co-polymers were further assembled into polyion complex micelle nanoparticles and crosslinked through amide bond formation to form stable nano-scaffolds for ligand attachment. Cell binding and lysosome trafficking was determined in live cells by fluorescence imaging in 96-well plates and quantification of red- and green-fluorescence signals over time. The platform and assay was validated for selection of optimal antibody-derived targeting ligands directed towards CD22 for nanoparticle delivery. Kinetic analysis of uptake and lysosome trafficking indicated differences between ligand types and the ligand with the highest lysosome trafficking efficiency translated into effective DNA delivery with nanoparticles bearing the optimal ligand.

Advancements in 3D-printable polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymers for wound dressing and skin scaffolding - A review. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 266:131207. [PMID: 38552687 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131207] [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: 09/14/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
This review investigates the most recent advances in personalized 3D-printed wound dressings and skin scaffolding. Skin is the largest and most vulnerable organ in the human body. The human body has natural mechanisms to restore damaged skin through several overlapping stages. However, the natural wound healing process can be rendered insufficient due to severe wounds or disturbances in the healing process. Wound dressings are crucial in providing a protective barrier against the external environment, accelerating healing. Although used for many years, conventional wound dressings are neither tailored to individual circumstances nor specific to wound conditions. To address the shortcomings of conventional dressings, skin scaffolding can be used for skin regeneration and wound healing. This review thoroughly investigates polysaccharides (e.g., chitosan, Hyaluronic acid (HA)), proteins (e.g., collagen, silk), synthetic polymers (e.g., Polycaprolactone (PCL), Poly lactide-co-glycolic acid (PLGA), Polylactic acid (PLA)), as well as nanocomposites (e.g., silver nano particles and clay materials) for wound healing applications and successfully 3D printed wound dressings. It discusses the importance of combining various biomaterials to enhance their beneficial characteristics and mitigate their drawbacks. Different 3D printing fabrication techniques used in developing personalized wound dressings are reviewed, highlighting the advantages and limitations of each method. This paper emphasizes the exceptional versatility of 3D printing techniques in advancing wound healing treatments. Finally, the review provides recommendations and future directions for further research in wound dressings.

Abstract
Increasing interest in the utilization of hydrogels in various areas of biomedical sciences ranging from biosensing and drug delivery to tissue engineering has necessitated the synthesis of these materials using efficient and benign chemical transformations. In this regard, the advent of "click" chemistry revolutionized the design of hydrogels and a range of efficient reactions was utilized to obtain hydrogels with increased control over their physicochemical properties. The ability to apply the "click" chemistry paradigm to both synthetic and natural polymers as hydrogel precursors further expanded the utility of this chemistry in network formation. In particular, the ability to integrate clickable handles at predetermined locations in polymeric components enables the formation of well-defined networks. Although, in the early years of "click" chemistry, the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was widely employed, recent years have focused on the use of metal-free "click" transformations, since residual metal impurities may interfere with or compromise the biological function of such materials. Furthermore, many of the non-metal-catalyzed "click" transformations enable the fabrication of injectable hydrogels, as well as the fabrication of microstructured gels using spatial and temporal control. This review article summarizes the recent advances in the fabrication of hydrogels using various metal-free "click" reactions and highlights the applications of thus obtained materials. One could envision that the use of these versatile metal-free "click" reactions would continue to revolutionize the design of functional hydrogels geared to address unmet needs in biomedical sciences.

Abstract
A revolution in chemical biology occurred with the introduction of click chemistry. Click chemistry plays an important role in protein chemistry modifications, providing specific, sensitive, rapid, and easy-to-handle methods. Under physiological conditions, click chemistry often overlaps with bioorthogonal chemistry, defined as reactions that occur rapidly and selectively without interfering with biological processes. Click chemistry is used for the posttranslational modification of proteins based on covalent bond formations. With the contribution of click reactions, selective modification of proteins would be developed, representing an alternative to other technologies in preparing new proteins or enzymes for studying specific protein functions in different biological processes. Click-modified proteins have potential in diverse applications such as imaging, labeling, sensing, drug design, and enzyme technology. Due to the promising role of proteins in disease diagnosis and therapy, this review aims to highlight the growing applications of click strategies in protein chemistry over the last two decades, with a special emphasis on medicinal applications.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the first synthesis of diazirine-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-DAZ). In addition, we also produced a precursor polymer solution composed of HA-DAZ and dendritic polyethyleneimine (DPI) that showed strong shear-thinning properties. Furthermore, its viscosity was strongly reduced (i.e., from 5 × 105 mPa s at 10-3 s-1 to 6 × 101 mPa s at 103 s-1), substantially, which enhanced solution injectability using a 21 G needle. After ultraviolet irradiation at 365 nm and 6 mW cm-2, the HA-DAZ/DPI solution achieved rapid gelation, as measured using the stirring method, and its gelation time decreased from 200 s to 9 s as the total concentrations of HA-DAZ and DPI increased. Following UV irradiation, the storage modulus increased from 40 to 200 Pa. In addition, reversible sol-gel transition and self-healing properties were observed even after UV irradiation. This suggests that the HA-DAZ/DPI hydrogel was crosslinked in multiple ways, i.e., via covalent bonding between the diazirine and amine groups and via intermolecular interactions, including hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, and hydrophobic interactions. A lap shear test showed that the HA-DAZ/DPI hydrogel exhibited strong adhesiveness as a fibrin glue following UV irradiation. Finally, the HA-DAZ/DPI hydrogel showed higher tissue reinforcement than fibrin glue in an ex vivo burst pressure test of the porcine esophageal mucosa.

Abstract
Alginate (ALG) is a widely used biomaterial to create artificial extracellular matrices (ECM) for tissue engineering. Since it does not degrade in the human body, imparting proteolytic sensitivity to ALG hydrogels leverages their properties as ECM-mimics. Herein, we explored the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) as a biocompatible and bio-orthogonal click-chemistry to graft cyclooctyne-modified alginate (ALG-K) with bi-azide-functionalized PVGLIG peptides. These are sensitive to matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and may act as crosslinkers. The ALG-K-PVGLIG conjugates (50, 125, and 250 μM PVGLIG) were characterized for peptide incorporation, crosslinking ability (double-end grafting), and enzymatic liability. For producing cell-permissive multifunctional 3D matrices for dermal fibroblast culture, oxidized ALG-K was grafted with PVGLIG and with RGD peptides for cell-adhesion. SPAAC reactions were performed immediately before cell-laden hydrogel formation by secondary ionic-crosslinking, considerably reducing the steps and time of preparation. Hydrogels with intermediate PVGLIG concentration (125 μM) presented slightly higher stiffness while promoting extensive cell spreading and higher degree of cell-cell interconnections, likely favored by cell-driven proteolytic remodeling of the network. The hydrogel-embedded cells were able to produce their own pericellular ECM, expressed MMP-2 and 14, and secreted PVGLIG-degrading enzymes. By recapitulating key ECM-like features, these hydrogels provide biologically relevant 3D matrices for soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
As a reductionist approach, patient-derived in vitro tumor models are inherently still too simplistic for personalized drug testing as they do not capture many characteristics of the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as tumor architecture and stromal heterogeneity. This is especially problematic for assessing stromal-targeting drugs such as immunotherapies in which the density and distribution of immune and other stromal cells determine drug efficacy. On the other end, in vivo models are typically costly, low-throughput, and time-consuming to establish. Ex vivo patient-derived tumor explant (PDE) cultures involve the culture of resected tumor fragments that potentially retain the intact TME of the original tumor. Although developed decades ago, PDE cultures have not been widely adopted likely because of their low-throughput and poor long-term viability. However, with growing recognition of the importance of patient-specific TME in mediating drug response, especially in the field of immune-oncology, there is an urgent need to resurrect these holistic cultures. In this Review, the key limitations of patient-derived tumor explant cultures are outlined and technologies that have been developed or could be employed to address these limitations are discussed. Engineered holistic tumor explant cultures may truly realize the concept of personalized medicine for cancer patients.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been developed for different biomedical applications such as in vitro culture platforms, drug delivery, bioprinting and tissue engineering. Enzymatic cross-linking has many advantages for its ability to form gels in situ while being injected into tissue, which facilitates minimally invasive surgery and adaptation to the shape of the defect. It is a highly biocompatible form of cross-linking, which permits the harmless encapsulation of cytokines and cells in contrast to chemically or photochemically induced cross-linking processes. The enzymatic cross-linking of synthetic and biogenic polymers also opens up their application as bioinks for engineering tissue and tumor models. This review first provides a general overview of the different cross-linking mechanisms, followed by a detailed survey of the enzymatic cross-linking mechanism applied to both natural and synthetic hydrogels. A detailed analysis of their specifications for bioprinting and tissue engineering applications is also included.

Abstract
The cellular microenvironment plays a major role in the biological functions of cells. Thus, biomaterials, especially hydrogels, which can be design to mimic the cellular microenvironment, are being increasingly used for cell encapsulation, delivery, and 3D culture, with the hope of controlling cell functions. Yet, much remains to be understood about the effects of cell-material interactions, and advanced synthetic strategies need to be developed to independently control the mechanical and biochemical properties of hydrogels. To address this challenge, we designed a new hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel platform using a click and bioorthogonal strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction. This approach facilitates the synthesis of hydrogels that are easy to synthesize and sterilize, have minimal swelling, are stable long term, and are cytocompatible. It provides bioorthogonal HA gels over an uncommonly large range of stiffness (0.5-45 kPa), all forming within 1-15 min. More importantly, our approach offers a versatile one-pot procedure to independently tune the hydrogel composition (e.g., polymer and adhesive peptides). Using this platform, we investigate the independent effects of polymer type, stiffness, and adhesion on the secretory properties of human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) and demonstrate that HA can enhance the secretion of immunomodulatory factors by hASCs.

Pearce HA, Swain JWR, Victor LH, Hogan KJ, Jiang EY, Bedell ML, Navara AM, Farsheed A, Kim YS, Guo JL, Hartgerink JD, Grande-Allen KJ, Mikos AG. Thermogelling hydrogel charge and lower critical solution temperature influence cellular infiltration and tissue integration in an ex vivo cartilage explant model. J Biomed Mater Res A 2023; 111:15-34. [PMID: 36053984 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.a.37441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2022] [Revised: 08/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
Thermogelling hydrogels based on poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (p[NiPAAm]) and crosslinked with a peptide-bearing macromer poly(glycolic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(glycolic acid)-di(but-2-yne-1,4-dithiol) (PdBT) were fabricated to assess the role of hydrogel charge and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) over time in influencing cellular infiltration and tissue integration in an ex vivo cartilage explant model over 21 days. The p(NiPAAm)-based thermogelling polymer was synthesized to possess 0, 5, and 10 mol% dimethyl-γ-butyrolactone acrylate (DBA) to raise the LCST over time as the lactone rings hydrolyzed. Further, three peptides were designed to impart charge into the hydrogels via conjugation to the PdBT crosslinker. The positively, neutrally, and negatively charged peptides K4 (+), zwitterionic K2E2 (0), and E4 (-), respectively, were conjugated to the modular PdBT crosslinker and the hydrogels were evaluated for their thermogelation behavior in vitro before injection into the cartilage explant models. Samples were collected at days 0 and 21, and tissue integration and cellular infiltration were assessed via mechanical pushout testing and histology. Negatively charged hydrogels whose LCST changed over time (10 mol% DBA) were demonstrated to promote the greatest tissue integration when compared to the positive and neutral gels of the same thermogelling polymer formulation due to increased transport and diffusion across the hydrogel-tissue interface. Indeed, the negatively charged thermogelling polymer groups containing 5 and 10 mol% DBA demonstrated cellular infiltration and cartilage-like matrix deposition via histology. This study demonstrates the important role that material physicochemical properties play in dictating cell and tissue behavior and can inform future cartilage tissue engineering strategies.

Abstract
The unique biological and rheological properties make hyaluronic acid a sought-after material for medicine and cosmetology. Due to very high purity requirements for hyaluronic acid in medical applications, the profitability of streptococcal fermentation is reduced. Production of hyaluronic acid by recombinant systems is considered a promising alternative. Variations in combinations of expressed genes and fermentation conditions alter the yield and molecular weight of produced hyaluronic acid. This review is devoted to the current state of hyaluronic acid production by recombinant bacterial and fungal organisms.

Abstract
Laminins (LNs) are key components in the extracellular matrix of neuronal tissues in the developing brain and neural stem cell niches. LN-presenting hydrogels can provide a biologically relevant matrix for the 3D culture of neurons toward development of advanced tissue models and cell-based therapies for the treatment of neurological disorders. Biologically derived hydrogels are rich in fragmented LN and are poorly defined concerning composition, which hampers clinical translation. Engineered hydrogels require elaborate and often cytotoxic chemistries for cross-linking and LN conjugation and provide limited possibilities to tailor the properties of the materials. Here a modular hydrogel system for neural 3D cell cultures, based on hyaluronan and poly(ethylene glycol), that is cross-linked and functionalized with human recombinant LN-521 using bioorthogonal copper-free click chemistry, is shown. Encapsulated human neuroblastoma cells demonstrate high viability and grow into spheroids. Long-term neuroepithelial stem cells (lt-NES) cultured in the hydrogels can undergo spontaneous differentiation to neural fate and demonstrate significantly higher viability than cells cultured without LN. The hydrogels further support the structural integrity of 3D bioprinted structures and maintain high viability of bioprinted and syringe extruded lt-NES, which can facilitate biofabrication and development of cell-based therapies.

Abstract
Hydrogels have been widely investigated in biomedical fields due to their similar physical and biochemical properties to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen and hyaluronic acid (HA) are the main components of the ECM in many tissues. As a result, hydrogels prepared from collagen and HA hold inherent advantages in mimicking the structure and function of the native ECM. Numerous studies have focused on the development of collagen and HA hydrogels and their biomedical applications. In this extensive review, we provide a summary and analysis of the sources, features, and modifications of collagen and HA. Specifically, we highlight the fabrication, properties, and potential biomedical applications as well as promising commercialization of hydrogels based on these two natural polymers.

Abstract
Alginate biopolymers are characterized by favorable properties, of biocompatibility, degradability, and non-toxicity. However, the poor stability properties of alginate have limited its suitability for diverse applications. Recently, click chemistry has generated significant research interest due to its high reaction efficiency, high selectivity for a single product, harmless byproducts, and processing simplicity. Alginate modified using click chemistry enables the production of alginate derivatives with enhanced physical and chemical properties. Herein, we review the employment of click chemistry in the development of alginate-based materials or systems. Various click chemistries were highlighted, including azide and alkyne cycloaddition (e.g. Copper-(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), Strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition (SPAAC)), Diels-Alder reaction (Inverse electron demand Diels-Alder (IEDDA) cycloaddition, Tetrazine-norbornene Diels-Alder reactions), Thiol-ene/yne addition (Free-radical thiol-ene addition click reactions, Thiol-Michael addition click reactions, Thiol-yne addition click reaction), Oxime based click reactions, and other click reactions. Alginate functionalized with click chemistry and its properties were also discussed. The present study shows that click chemistry may be employed in modifying the mechanical strength, biochemical/biological properties of alginate-based materials. Finally, the applications of alginate-based materials in wound dressing, drug delivery, protein delivery, tissue regeneration, and 3D bioprinting were described and the future perspectives of alginates modified with click chemistry, are subsequently presented. This review provides new insights for readers to design structures and expand applications of alginate using click chemistry reactions in a detailed and more rational manner.

Abstract
In situ simultaneous formation of both covalent linkages and ion pair is challenging yet necessary to control the biological properties of a hydrogel. We report that the generation of covalent linkages (+N-C) facilitates the simultaneous formation of ion pairs between polyelectrolytes (PEs) in a hydrogel network. Co-injection of tertiary amine functional macromolecules and reactive poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) containing negatively charged PE leads to the formation of hydrogel conetworks consisting of covalent junctions and ion pairs. Our design is based on the gradual appearance of +N-C junctions followed by formation of ion pairs. This strategy provides an easy access to hydrogel networks bearing a predetermined proportion of ion pair and covalent cross-linking junction. The proportion of ion pair could be varied by introducing a precalculated proportion of mono- and difunctional reactive PEG in the hydrogel system. The topology of the prepolymer and the hydrogel could be modulated (graft) during hydrogel formation. This approach is applicable to obtain covalent/ionic, covalent bond induced purely ionic, and purely covalent hydrogels of several macromolecular entities. The effect of ion pairing in the hydrogels is strongly reflected in the modulus, strain bearing, degradation, free volume, swelling, and drug release properties. The hydrogels exhibit microscopic recovery of modulus after application of high amplitude strain depending on the prepolymer concentration (chain entanglement) and nature of hydrogel network. The hydrogels are hemocompatible, and the covalent/ionic hydrogels show a slower release of methotrexate than that of the purely covalent hydrogel. This work provides an understanding for the in situ construction and manipulation of biological properties of hydrogels through the covalent bond induced formation of a strong ion pair.

Abstract
Biomaterials is an emerging field in the study of brain tissue engineering and repair or neurogenesis. The fabrication of biomaterials that can replicate the mechanical and viscoelastic features required by the brain, including the poroviscoelastic responses, force dissipation, and solute diffusivity are essential to be mapped from the macro to the nanoscale level under physiological conditions in order for us to gain an effective treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. This research topic has identified a critical study gap that must be addressed, and that is to source suitable biomaterials and/or create reliable brain-tissue-like biomaterials. This chapter will define and discuss the various types of biomaterials, their structures, and their function-properties features which would enable the development of next-generation biomaterials useful in brain repair.

Abstract
Highly efficient reactions that enable the assembly of molecules into complex structures have driven extensive progress in synthetic chemistry. In particular, reactions that occur under mild conditions and in benign solvents, while producing no by-products and rapidly reach completion are attracting significant attention. Amongst these, the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition, involving various cyclooctyne derivatives reacting with azide-bearing molecules, has gained extensive popularity in organic synthesis and bioorthogonal chemistry. This reaction has also recently gained momentum in polymer chemistry, where it has been used to decorate, link, crosslink, and even prepare polymer chains. This survey highlights key achievements in the use of this reaction to produce a variety of polymeric constructs for disparate applications.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder that causes increased blood glucose than usual due to insulin impairment. In DM, several complications arise in which diabetic wound (DW) is the most devastating complication. About 25% of patients with DM expected to develop DWs in their lifetime and undergo limb amputations. Even though several treatments such as surgery, debridement, wound dressings, advanced therapies were available, the overall conclusion has been that with very few exceptions, patients still suffer from limitations like pain, frequent dress changing, high rates of failure, and cost involvement. Further, the treatments involving the delivery of therapeutic agents in treating DWs have limited success due to abnormal levels of proteases in the DW environment. In this backdrop, in situ gelling injectable hydrogels have gained special attention due to their easy encapsulation of therapeutic medications and prolonged release, filling the wound defect areas, ease of handling, and minimally invasive surgical procedures. Though the in situ gelling injectable hydrogels are developed a couple of decades ago, their use for treating DW has not yet been explored thoroughly. Thus, in this review, we have covered the sequential events of DW healing, pathophysiology, current treatments, and its limitations, along with a particular emphasis on the mechanism of action of these in situ gelling injectable hydrogels treating DWs.

Abstract
Biological tissues, such as muscle, can increase their mechanical strength after swelling due to the existence of many biological membrane barriers that can regulate the transmembrane transport of water molecules and ions. Oppositely, typical synthetic materials show a swelling-weakening behavior, which always suffers from a sharp decline in mechanical strength after swelling, because of the dilution of the network. Here, we describe a swelling-strengthening phenomenon of polymer materials achieved by a bioinspired strategy. Liposomal membrane nanobarriers are covalently embedded in a crosslinked network to regulate transmembrane transport. After swelling, the stretched network deforms the liposomes and subsequently initiates the transmembrane diffusion of the encapsulated molecules that can trigger the formation of a new network from the preloaded precursor. Thanks to the tough nature of the double-network structure, the swelling-strengthening phenomenon is achieved to polymer hydrogels successfully. Swelling-triggered self-strengthening enables the development of various dynamic materials.

Abstract
The demand for tailored, micrometer-scaled biomaterials in cell biology and (cell-free) biotechnology has led to the development of tunable microgel systems based on natural polymers, such as hyaluronic acid (HA). To precisely tailor their physicochemical and mechanical properties and thus to address the need for well-defined microgel systems, in this study, a bottom-up material guide is presented that highlights the synergy between highly selective bio-orthogonal click chemistry strategies and the versatility of a droplet microfluidics (MF)-assisted microgel design. By employing MF, microgels based on modified HA-derivates and homobifunctional poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-crosslinkers are prepared via three different types of click reaction: Diels-Alder [4 + 2] cycloaddition, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC), and UV-initiated thiol-ene reaction. First, chemical modification strategies of HA are screened in-depth. Beyond the microfluidic processing of HA-derivates yielding monodisperse microgels, in an analytical study, we show that their physicochemical and mechanical properties-e.g., permeability, (thermo)stability, and elasticity-can be systematically adapted with respect to the type of click reaction and PEG-crosslinker concentration. In addition, we highlight the versatility of our HA-microgel design by preparing non-spherical microgels and introduce, for the first time, a selective, hetero-trifunctional HA-based microgel system with multiple binding sites. As a result, a holistic material guide is provided to tailor fundamental properties of HA-microgels for their potential application in cell biology and (cell-free) biotechnology.

Abstract
This review highlights how hydrogel formulations can improve intravitreal protein delivery to the posterior segment of the eye in order to increase therapeutic outcome and patient compliance. Several therapeutic proteins have shown excellent clinical successes for the treatment of various intraocular diseases. However, drug delivery to the posterior segment of the eye faces significant challenges due to multiple physiological barriers preventing drugs from reaching the retina, among which intravitreal protein instability and rapid clearance from the site of injection. Hence, frequent injections are required to maintain therapeutic levels. Moreover, because the world population ages, the number of patients suffering from ocular diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) is increasing and causing increased health care costs. Therefore, there is a growing need for suitable delivery systems able to tackle the current limitations in retinal protein delivery, which also may reduce costs. Hydrogels have shown to be promising delivery systems capable of sustaining release of therapeutic proteins and thus extending their local presence. Here, an extensive overview of preclinically developed intravitreal hydrogels is provided with attention to the rational design of clinically useful intravitreal systems. The currently used polymers, crosslinking mechanisms, in vitro/in vivo models and advancements are discussed together with the limitations and future perspective of these biomaterials.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a typical feature of solid tumors, which highly limits the application of the oxygen-dependent therapy. Also, the dense and hyperbaric tumor tissues impede the penetration of nanoparticles into the deep tumor. Thereby, we designed a novel localized injectable hydrogel combining the photothermal therapy (PTT) and the thermodynamic therapy (TDT), which is based on the generation of free radicals even in the absence of oxygen for hypoxic tumor therapy. In our study, gold nanorods (AuNRs) and 2,2'-Azobis[2-(2-imidazalin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochlaride (AIPH) were incorporated into the hydrogel networks, which were formed by the copolymerization of hydrophobic N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAM) and hydrophilic glycidyl methacrylate modified hyaluronic acid (HA-GMA) to fabricate an injectable and near-infrared (NIR) responsive hydrogel. The crosslinked in situ forming hydrogel could not only realize PTT upon the NIR laser irradiation, but also generate free radicals even in hypoxic condition. Meanwhile the shrink of hydrogels upon thermal could accelerate the generation of free radicals to further damage the tumors, achieving the controlled drug release on demand. The designed hydrogel with a sufficient loading capacity, excellent biocompatibility and negligible systemic toxicity could serve as a long-acting implant for NIR-triggered thermo-responsive free radical generation. The in vitro cytotoxicity result and the in vivo antitumor activity illustrated the excellent therapeutic effect of hydrogels even in the absence of oxygen. Therefore, this innovative oxygen-independent platform combining the antitumor effects of PTT and TDT would bring a new insight into hypoxic tumor therapy by the application of alkyl free radical.

Abstract
Repair and regeneration of articular cartilage lesions have always been a major challenge in the medical field due to its peculiar structure (e.g., sparsely distributed chondrocytes, no blood supply, no nerves). Articular cartilage tissue engineering is considered as one promising strategy to achieve reconstruction of cartilage. With this perspective, the articular cartilage tissue engineering has been widely studied. Here, the recent progress of articular cartilage tissue engineering is reviewed. The ad hoc therapeutic cells and growth factors for cartilage regeneration are summarized and discussed. Various types of bio/macromolecular scaffolds together with their pros and cons are also reviewed and elaborated.

Abstract
Hydrogels based on hyaluronic acid (HA) exhibit great potential as tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds as a consequence of their unique biological features. Herein, we examine how the advantages of two natural polymers (i.e. HA and alginate) are combined with the efficiency and rapid nature of the thiol-yne click chemistry reaction to obtain biocompatible matrices with tailored properties. Our injectable click-hydrogels revealed excellent mechanical performance, long-term stability, high cytocompatibility and adequate stiffness for the targeted application. This simple approach yielded HA hydrogels with characteristics that make them suitable for applications as 3D scaffolds to support and promote soft tissue regeneration.

Abstract
This review investigates the significant role polysaccharide particles play in functional drug delivery. The importance of these systems is due to the wide variety of polysaccharides and their natural source meaning that they can provide biocompatible and biodegradable systems with a range of both biological and chemical functionality valuable for drug delivery. This functionality includes protection and presentation of working therapeutics through avoidance of the reticuloendothelial system, stabilization of biomacromolecules and increasing the bioavailability of incorporated small molecule drugs. Transport of the therapeutic is also key to the utility of polysaccharide particles, moving drugs from the site of administration through mucosal binding and transport and using chemistry, size and receptor mediated drug targeting to specific tissues. This review also scrutinizes the methods of synthesizing and constructing functional polysaccharide particle drug delivery systems that maintain and extend the functionality of the natural polysaccharides.

Abstract
Bioorthogonal chemistry is an excellent method for functionalization of biomaterials with bioactive molecules, as it allows for decoupling of material processing and bioactivation. Here, we report on a modular system created by means of tetrazine/trans-cyclooctene (Tz/TCO) click chemistry undergoing an inverse electron demand Diels-Alder cycloaddition. A reactive supramolecular surface based on ureido-pyrimidinones (UPy) is generated via a UPy-Tz additive, in order to introduce a versatile TCO-protein G conjugate for immobilization of Fc-fusion proteins. As a model bioactive protein, we introduced Fc-Jagged1, a Notch ligand, to induce Notch signaling activity on the material. Interestingly, HEK293 FLN1 cells expressing the Notch1 receptor were repelled by films modified with TCO-protein G but adhered and spread on functionalized electrospun meshes. This indicates that the material processing method influences the biocompatibility of the postmodification. Notch signaling activity was upregulated 5.6-fold with respect to inactive controls on electrospun materials modified with TCO-protein G/Fc-Jagged1. Furthermore, downstream effects of Notch signaling were detected on the gene level in vascular smooth muscle cells expressing the Notch3 receptor. Taken together, our results demonstrate the successful use of a modular supramolecular system for the postprocessing modification of solid materials with functional proteins.

Abstract
In the past few years, there have been many efforts underway to develop effective wound healing treatments for traumatic injuries. In particular, wound-healing peptides (WHPs) and peptide-grafted dressings hold great promise for novel therapeutic strategies for wound management. This study reports a topical formulation of a new synthetic WHP (REGRT, REG) embedded in a hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel dressing for the enhancement of acute excisional wound repair. The copper-free click chemistry is utilized to form biocompatible HA hydrogels by cross-linking dibenzocyclooctyl-functionalized HA with 4-arm poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) azide. The HA hydrogels are grafted with the REG peptide, a functional derivative of erythroid differentiation regulator1, displaying potent cell motility-stimulating ability, thus sustainably releasing physiologically active peptides for a prolonged period. Combined with the traditional wound healing benefits of HA, the HA hydrogel embedded REG (REG-HAgel) accelerates re-epithelialization in skin wound healing, particularly by promoting migration of fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and endothelial cells. REG-HAgels improve not only rate, but quality of wound healing with higher collagen deposition and more microvascular formation while being nontoxic. The peptide-grafted HA hydrogel system can be considered as a promising new wound dressing formulation strategy for the treatment of different types of wounds with combinations of various natural and synthetic WHPs.

BACKGROUND The tissue engineering and regenerative medicine approach require biomaterials which are biocompatible, easily reproducible in less time, biodegradable and should be able to generate complex three-dimensional (3D) structures to mimic the native tissue structures. Click chemistry offers the much-needed multifunctional hydrogel materials which are interesting biomaterials for the tissue engineering and bioprinting inks applications owing to their excellent ability to form hydrogels with printability instantly and to retain the live cells in their 3D network without losing the mechanical integrity even under swollen state. METHODS In this review, we present the recent developments of in situ hydrogel in the field of click chemistry reported for the tissue engineering and 3D bioinks applications, by mainly covering the diverse types of click chemistry methods such as Diels-Alder reaction, strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reactions, thiol-ene reactions, oxime reactions and other interrelated reactions, excluding enzyme-based reactions. RESULTS The click chemistry-based hydrogels are formed spontaneously on mixing of reactive compounds and can encapsulate live cells with high viability for a long time. The recent works reported by combining the advantages of click chemistry and 3D bioprinting technology have shown to produce 3D tissue constructs with high resolution using biocompatible hydrogels as bioinks and in situ injectable forms. CONCLUSION Interestingly, the emergence of click chemistry reactions in bioink synthesis for 3D bioprinting have shown the massive potential of these reaction methods in creating 3D tissue constructs. However, the limitations and challenges involved in the click chemistry reactions should be analyzed and bettered to be applied to tissue engineering and 3D bioinks. The future scope of these materials is promising, including their applications in in situ 3D bioprinting for tissue or organ regeneration.

Abstract
The conjugation of biomolecules can impart materials with the bioactivity necessary to modulate specific cell behaviors. While the biological roles of particular polypeptide, oligonucleotide, and glycan structures have been extensively reviewed, along with the influence of attachment on material structure and function, the key role played by the conjugation strategy in determining activity is often overlooked. In this review, we focus on the chemistry of biomolecule conjugation and provide a comprehensive overview of the key strategies for achieving controlled biomaterial functionalization. No universal method exists to provide optimal attachment, and here we will discuss both the relative advantages and disadvantages of each technique. In doing so, we highlight the importance of carefully considering the impact and suitability of a particular technique during biomaterial design.

Abstract
Stem cells opened great opportunity to overcome diseases that conventional therapy had only limited success. Use of scaffolds made from biomaterials not only helps handling of stem cells for delivery or transplantation but also supports enhanced cell survival. Likewise, cell encapsulation can provide stability for living animal cells even in a state of separateness. Although various chemical reactions were tried to encapsulate stolid microbial cells such as yeasts, a culture environment for the growth of animal cells allows only highly biocompatible reactions. Therefore, the animal cells were mostly encapsulated in hydrogels, which resulted in enhanced cell survival. Interestingly, major findings of chemistry on biological interfaces demonstrate that cell encapsulation in hydrogels have a further a competence for modulating cell characteristics that can go beyond just enhancing the cell survival. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview on the chemical reactions applied to hydrogel-based cell encapsulation and their effects on the characteristics and behavior of living animal cells.

Abstract
Biomaterials are key factors in regenerative medicine. Matrices used for cell delivery are especially important, as they provide support to transplanted cells that is essential for promoting cell survival, retention, and desirable phenotypes. Injectable matrices have become promising and attractive due to their minimum invasiveness and ease of use. Conventional injectable matrices mostly use hydrogel precursor solutions that form solid, cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds in situ. However, these materials are associated with challenges in biocompatibility, shear-induced cell death, lack of control over cellular phenotype, lack of macroporosity and remodeling, and relatively weak mechanical strength. This Progress Report provides a brief overview of recent progress in developing injectable matrices to overcome the limitations of conventional in situ hydrogels. Biocompatible chemistry and shear-thinning hydrogels have been introduced to promote cell survival and retention. Emerging investigations of the effects of matrix properties on cellular function in 3D provide important guidelines for promoting desirable cellular phenotypes. Moreover, several novel approaches are combining injectability with macroporosity to achieve macroporous, injectable matrices for cell delivery.

Abstract
Interrogating biological systems is often limited by access to biological probes. The emergence of "click chemistry" has revolutionized bioconjugate chemistry by providing facile reaction conditions amenable to both biologic molecules and small molecule probes such as fluorophores, toxins, or therapeutics. One particularly popular version is the copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (AAC) reaction, which has spawned new alternatives such as the strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction, among others. This focused review highlights practical approaches to AAC reactions for the synthesis of peptide or protein bioconjugates and contrasts current challenges and limitations in light of recent advances in the field. The conical success of antibody drug conjugates has expanded the toolbox of linkers and payloads to facilitate practical applications of bioconjugation to create novel therapeutics and biologic probes. The AAC reaction in particular is poised to enable a large set of functionalized molecules as a combinatorial approach to high-throughput bioconjugate generation, screening, and honing of lead compounds.

Abstract
Hydrogels are commonly used as engineered extracellular matrix (ECM) mimics in applications ranging from tissue engineering to in vitro disease models. Ideal mechanisms used to crosslink ECM-mimicking hydrogels do not interfere with the biology of the system. However, most common hydrogel crosslinking chemistries exhibit some form of cross-reactivity. The field of bio-orthogonal chemistry has arisen to address the need for highly specific and robust reactions in biological contexts. Accordingly, bio-orthogonal crosslinking strategies have been incorporated into hydrogel design, allowing for gentle and efficient encapsulation of cells in various hydrogel materials. Furthermore, the selective nature of bio-orthogonal chemistries can permit dynamic modification of hydrogel materials in the presence of live cells and other biomolecules to alter matrix mechanical properties and biochemistry on demand. In this review, we provide an overview of bio-orthogonal strategies used to prepare cell-encapsulating hydrogels and highlight the potential applications of bio-orthogonal chemistries in the design of dynamic engineered ECMs.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have attracted increasing attention in tissue regeneration and local drug delivery applications. Current click reactions for preparing injectable hydrogels often require a photoinitiator or catalyst, which may be toxic and may involve complex synthesis of precursors. Here, we report a facile and inexpensive method to prepare injectable and degradable hydrogels via spontaneous amino-yne click reaction without using any initiator or catalyst under physiological conditions based on telechelic electron-deficient dipropiolate ester of polyethylene glycol and water-soluble commercially available carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC). The gelation time, mechanical property, and degradation rate of the hydrogels could be adjusted by varying CMC concentrations and stoichiometric ratios. The reversible pH-induced sol-gel transitions of the hydrogel are presented and the pH-controlled drug release behaviors are demonstrated, of which the mechanism is discussed. In vitro cytotoxicity assays and in vivo in situ injection study of the CMC-based hydrogels showed favorable gel formation, nontoxicity, and good tissue biocompatibility. Therefore, these biodegradable and injectable hydrogels prepared by spontaneous amino-yne click reaction hold potential for tissue engineering and other biomedical applications.
