Abstract
Stimuli-responsive synthetic polypeptide-containing block copolymers have received considerable attention in recent years. Especially, unique thermo-induced sol-gel phase transitions were observed for elaborately-designed amphiphilic diblock copolypeptides and a range of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-polypeptide block copolymers. The thermo-induced gelation mechanisms involve the evolution of secondary conformation, enhanced intramolecular interactions, as well as reduced hydration and increased chain entanglement of PEG blocks. The physical parameters, including polymer concentrations, sol-gel transition temperatures and storage moduli, were investigated. The polypeptide hydrogels exhibited good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo, and displayed biodegradation periods ranging from 1 to 5 weeks. The unique thermo-induced sol-gel phase transitions offer the feasibility of minimal-invasive injection of the precursor aqueous solutions into body, followed by in situ hydrogel formation driven by physiological temperature. These advantages make polypeptide hydrogels interesting candidates for diverse biomedical applications, especially as injectable scaffolds for 3D cell culture and tissue regeneration as well as depots for local drug delivery. This review focuses on recent advances in the design and preparation of injectable, thermo-induced physically crosslinked polypeptide hydrogels. The influence of composition, secondary structure and chirality of polypeptide segments on the physical properties and biodegradation of the hydrogels are emphasized. Moreover, the studies on biomedical applications of the hydrogels are intensively discussed. Finally, the major challenges in the further development of polypeptide hydrogels for practical applications are proposed.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of a new variety of bio-based hydrogel films using a Cu(I)-catalyzed photo-click reaction. These films exhibited thermal-triggered swelling-deswelling and were constructed by crosslinking a triazide derivative of glycerol ethoxylate and dialkyne structures derived from isosorbide, a well-known plant-based platform molecule. The success of the click reaction was corroborated through infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and the smooth surface of the obtained films was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal characterization was carried out in terms of thermogravimetry (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), from which the decomposition onset and glass transition temperatures were determined, respectively. Additionally, mechanical properties of the samples were estimated by stress-strain experiments. Then, their swelling and deswelling properties were systematically examined in PBS buffer, revealing a thermoresponsive behavior that was successfully tested in the release of the anticancer drug doxorubicin. We also confirmed the non-cytotoxicity of these materials, which is a fundamental aspect for their potential use as drug carriers or tissue engineering matrices.

Abstract
Thermoreversible hydrogels are attractive materials for biomedical applications, but their applications are still limited by nonbiodegradability and/or slow temperature-dependent gel-to-sol transition rates. In this research, we prepared a range of amphiphilic diblock, triblock, and four-armed star block copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and poly(γ-(2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethyl)-l-glutamate) (P(EEO2LG)) segments, which can form rapidly thermoreversible hydrogels at physiological temperature. Intriguingly, the obtained hydrogels can transform from gel to sol within 10-70 s in response to the temperature decrease from 37 to 0 °C. The thermosensitive sol-gel-sol transitions are markedly faster than previously reported thermoreversible PEG-poly(l-glutamate) derivative hydrogels with subtle differences in the side groups and a widely studied poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide)-b-PEG-b-poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) hydrogel that required a much longer time of 40∼150 min. Further investigation of the relationship between the hydrogel property and polymer structure is performed, and the self-assembly mechanisms of different copolymers are proposed. Cytotoxicity assays and subcutaneous degradation experiments reveal that the PEG/P(EEO2LG) block copolymers are biocompatible and biodegradable. The polypeptide hydrogel can therefore be used as a three-dimensional platform for facile cell culture and collection by regulating the temperature.

Abstract
In recent years, polymeric micelles have been extensively utilized in pre-clinical studies for delivering poorly soluble chemotherapeutic agents in cancer. Polymeric micelles are formed via self-assembly of amphiphilic polymers in facile manners. The wide availability of hydrophobic and, to some extent, hydrophilic polymeric blocks allow researchers to explore various polymeric combinations for optimum loading, stability, systemic circulation, and delivery to the target cancer tissues. Moreover, polymeric micelles could easily be tailor-made by increasing and decreasing the number of monomers in each polymeric chain. Some of the widely accepted hydrophobic polymers are poly(lactide) (PLA), poly(caprolactone) (PCL), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), polyesters, poly(amino acids), lipids. The hydrophilic polymers used to wrap the hydrophobic core are poly(ethylene glycol), poly(oxazolines), chitosan, dextran, and hyaluronic acids. Drugs could be conjugated to polymers at the distal ends to prepare pharmacologically active polymeric systems that impart enhanced solubility and stability of the conjugates and provide an opportunity for combination drug delivery. Their nano-size enables them to accumulate to the tumor microenvironment via the Enhanced Permeability and Retention (EPR) effect. Moreover, the stimuli-sensitive breakdown provides the micelles an effective means to deliver the therapeutic cargo effectively. The tumor micro-environmental stimuli are pH, hypoxia, and upregulated enzymes. Externally applied stimuli to destroy micellar disassembly to release the payload include light, ultrasound, and temperature. This article delineates the current trend in developing polymeric micelles combining various block polymeric scaffolds. The development of stimuli-sensitive micelles to achieve enhanced therapeutic activity are also discussed.

Abstract
Polypeptide nanoparticles were obtained by the miniemulsion polymerization of S-(o-nitrobenzyl)-l-cysteine (NBC) N-carboxyanhydride (NCA). Through process optimization, reaction conditions were identified that allowed the polymerization of the water sensitive NCA to yield nanoparticles of about 220 nm size. Subsequent UV-irradiation of the nanoparticle emulsions caused the in situ removal of the nitrobenzyl group and particle cross-linking through disulfide bond formation accompanied by the shrinkage of the particles.

Abstract
The generally poor mechanical stability of hydrogels limits their use as functional materials for many biomedical applications. In this work, a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) embedded hybrid hydrogel of a β-amino acid-containing Fmoc-protected tripeptide was produced at physiological pH (7.4) and room temperature. The hydrogel system was characterized by a number of techniques, including UV-vis, fluorescence, circular dichroism, FT-IR spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and rheology. While the tripeptide-based pure hydrogel was found to be unstable after ca. half an hour, addition of PVA, a water soluble polymer, increased the temporal and mechanical stability of the hydrogel. A rheological step-strain experiment demonstrates that the peptide-polymer hydrogel is thixotropic. Results from a fluorescence probe study and transmission electron microscopy reveal that addition of PVA increases both the fibre diameter and entanglement. Circular dichroism spectra of the hydrogels confirm the formation of aggregates with supramolecular chirality. The thixotropic nature of the hydrogel has been exploited to entrap and release doxorubicin, an anticancer drug, under physiological conditions. Furthermore, an MTT assay of the Fmoc-tripeptide using AH927 cells confirmed its cytocompatibility, which broadens the utility of the hybrid gel for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive nanomedicine (NM) with an on-demand drug release property has demonstrated promising utility toward cancer therapy. However, sensitivity and cancer selectivity still remain critical challenges for intelligent NM, which will compromise its therapeutic efficacy and lead to undesired toxicity to normal tissues. Herein, we report a convenient and universal approach to spatiotemporally control the chemodrug release via the photodynamic therapy (PDT)-mediated alteration of the tumor microenvironment. An arylboronic ester (BE)-modified amphiphilic copolymer (mPEG-PBAM) was designed to form micelles and encapsulate doxorubicin (Dox) and hematoporphyrin (Hp). The Dox/Hp co-encapsulated micelles (PB-DH) were stable under normal physiological environment with a uniform size distribution (∼100 nm). In contrast, under tumor-specific light irradiation, extensive reactive oxygen species (ROS) will be generated from Hp in the tumor sites, thus quickly dissociating the micelles and selectively releasing the chemodrug Dox as a consequence of the ROS-mediated cleavage of the hydrophobic BE moieties on the polymers. As such, synergistic anti-cancer efficacy was achieved between the Dox-mediated chemotherapy and the Hp-mediated PDT. This study therefore provides a useful approach to realize the precise and selective control over chemodrug delivery, and it renders promising utilities for the programmable combination of PDT and chemotherapy.

Abstract
Locoregional recurrence of breast cancer after tumor resection represents several clinical challenges. Here, we demonstrate that co-delivery of chemotherapy and thermotherapeutic agents by a magnetic supramolecular hydrogel (MSH) following tumor resection prevents tumor recurrence in a breast cancer mouse model. The self-assembled MSH was designed through the partial inclusion complexation associated with the threading of α-CD on the copolymer moieties on the surface of the PEGylated iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, which enables shear-thinning injection and controllable thermoreversible gel-sol transition. MSH was injected to the postoperative wound uniformly, which became mobile and perfect match with irregular cavity without blind angle due to the magnetocaloric gel-sol transition when exposed to alternating current magnetic field (ACMF). The magnetic nanoparticle-mediated induction heat during the gel-sol transition process caused the triggered release of dual-encapsulated chemotherapeutic drugs and provided an effect of thermally induced cell damage. The hierarchical structure of the MSH ensured that both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs can be loaded and consecutively delivered with different release curves. The hydrogel nanocomposite might provide a potential locally therapeutic approach for the precise treatment of locoregional recurrence of cancer. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE Tumor recurrence after resection represents several clinical challenges. In this study, we prepared shear-thinning injectable magnetic supramolecular hydrogel (MSH) and demonstrated their therapeutic applications in preventing the post-operative recurrence of breast cancer with facile synthesis and minimally invasive implantation in vivo. MSH was injected to the postoperative wound uniformly, which become mobile and perfect match with irregular cavity without blind angle through magnetocaloric gel-sol transition when exposed to ACMF. The magnetic nanoparticles mediated induction heat during the gel-sol transition process caused the triggered release of dual-encapsulated chemotherapeutic drugs as well as thermally induced cell damage. This study demonstrates that MSH with the controlled administration of combined thermo-chemotherapy exhibit great superiority in terms of preventing post-operation cancer relapse.

Abstract
Here, we have exploited the heightened extracellular concentration of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) to induce surface-conversional properties of nanogels with the aim of tumor-specific enhanced cellular uptake. A modular polymeric nanogel platform was designed and synthesized for facile formulation and validation of MMP-9-mediated dePEGylation and generation of polyamine-type surface characteristics through peptide N-termini. Nanogels containing MMP-9-cleavable motifs and different poly(ethylene glycol) corona lengths (350 and 750 g/mol) were prepared, and enzymatic surface conversional properties were validated by MALDI characterization of cleaved byproducts, fluorescamine assay amine quantification, and zeta potential. The nanogel with a shorter PEG length, mPEG350-NG, exhibited superior surface conversion in response to extracellular concentrations of MMP-9 compared to that of the longer PEG length, mPEG750-NG. Confocal microscopy images of HeLa cells incubated with both fluorescein-labeled nanogels and DiI-encapsulated nanogels demonstrated greater uptake following MMP-9 "activation" for mPEG350-NG compared to its nontreated "passive" mPEG350-NG parent, demonstrating the versatility of such systems to achieve stimuli-responsive uptake in response to cancer-relevant proteases.

Abstract
By using a disulfide-functionalized crosslinker, a pH- and thermo-responsive 2-(dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) monomer and a zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) monomer were conjugated to fabricate a multi-responsive P(DMAEMA-SS-SBMA) copolymeric hydrogel. Apparent UCST and LCST volume transitions were observed in the P(DMAEMA-SS-SBMA) hydrogels with equivalent weight fractions of monomers. Different pore size and response sensitivity of shrunken structures below UCST and above LCST were visualized by SEM images. The hydrogel exhibited a highly swollen state with a swelling ratio of 17.8 and a pore size of 106μm at 45°C, they deswelled unequally at 5°C with a compact surface with pore size of 30μm and a loose bulk with pore size of 83μm, while they deswelled uniformly at 65°C with dense shrunken structure with small pore size of 12μm. The dual-thermoresponsive hydrogel was promising in controlled drug release. The initial drug release was predominantly controlled by diffusion, and the long-term release was influenced by the swelling ratio. Below UCST, the relatively hydrophilic shrunken structure and slow diffusion had a synergistic effect on the sustained release. Above LCST, the fast diffusion and the rapid "off" effect of hydrophobic skin layer resulted in a burst release. Additionally, pH-tunable swelling and redox-sensitive degradation were also observed.

Gelation of the left helical N-substituted homopolypeptide poly(L-proline) (PLP) in water was explored, employing rheological and small-angle scattering studies at different temperatures and concentrations in order to investigate the network structure and its mechanical properties. Stiff gels were obtained at 10 wt % or higher at 5 °C, the first time gelation has been observed for homopolypeptides. The secondary structure and helical rigidity of PLP has large structural similarities to gelatin but as gels the two materials show contrasting trends with temperature. With increasing temperature in D2O, the network stiffens, with broad scattering features of similar correlation length for all concentrations and molar masses of PLP. A thermoresponsive transition was also achieved between 5 and 35 °C, with moduli at 35 °C higher than gelatin at 5 °C. The brittle gels could tolerate strains of 1% before yielding with a frequency-independent modulus over the observed range, similar to natural proline-rich proteins, suggesting the potential for thermoresponsive or biomaterial-based applications.

Abstract
Stimuli-responsive materials are of immense importance because of their ability to undergo alteration of their properties in response to their environment. The properties of such materials can be tuned by subtle adjustments in temperature, pH, light, and so forth. Among such smart materials, multi-stimuli-responsive polymeric materials are of pronounced significance as they offer a wide range of applications and their properties can be tuned through several mechanisms. Here, we aim to highlight some recent studies showcasing the multi-stimuli-responsive character of these polymers, which are still relatively little known compared to their single-stimuli-responsive counterpart.
