Abstract
Artificially synthesized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogels are extensively utilized as biomaterials for tissue scaffolds and cell culture matrices due to their non-protein adsorbing properties. Although these hydrogels are inherently non-cell-adhesive, advancements in modifying polymer networks with functional peptides have led to PEG hydrogels with diverse functionalities, such as cell adhesion and angiogenesis. However, traditional methods of incorporating additives into hydrogel networks often result in the capping of crosslinking points with heterogeneous substances, potentially impairing mechanical properties and obscuring the causal relationships of biological functions. This study introduces polymer additives designed to resist prolonged elution from hydrogels, providing a novel approach to facilitate cell culture on non-adhesive surfaces. By clustering tetra-branched PEG to form ultra-high molecular weight hyper-branched structures and functionalizing their termini with cell-adhesive peptides, we successfully entrapped these clusters within the hydrogel matrix without compromising mechanical strength. This method has enabled successful cell culture on inherently non-adhesive PEG hydrogel surfaces at high peptide densities, a feat challenging to achieve with conventional means. The approach proposed in this study not only paves the way for new possibilities with polymer additives but also serves as a new design paradigm for cell culturing on non-cell-adhesive hydrogels.

Abstract
Manipulation of cell-cell interactions via cell surface modification is crucial in tissue engineering and cell-based therapy. To be able to monitor intercellular interactions, it can also provide useful information for understanding how the cells interact and communicate. We report herein a facile bioorthogonal strategy to promote and monitor cell-cell interactions. It involves the use of a maleimide-appended tetrazine-caged boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based fluorescent probe and a maleimide-substituted bicyclo[6.1.0]non-4-yne (BCN) to modify the membrane of macrophage (RAW 264.7) and cancer (HT29, HeLa, and A431) cells, respectively, via maleimide-thiol conjugation. After modification, the two kinds of cells interact strongly through inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder reaction of the surface tetrazine and BCN moieties. The coupling also disrupts the tetrazine quenching unit, restoring the fluorescence emission of the BODIPY core on the cell-cell interface, and promotes phagocytosis. Hence, this approach can promote and facilitate the detection of intercellular interactions, rendering it potentially useful for macrophage-based immunotherapy.

Alves PM, Barrias CC, Gomes P, Martins MCL. How can biomaterial-conjugated antimicrobial peptides fight bacteria and be protected from degradation? Acta Biomater 2024; 181:98-116. [PMID: 38697382 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2024.04.043] [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: 01/12/2024] [Revised: 03/19/2024] [Accepted: 04/25/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a serious threat to public health. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are a powerful alternative to antibiotics due to their low propensity to induce bacterial resistance. However, cytotoxicity and short half-lives have limited their clinical translation. To overcome these problems, AMP conjugation has gained relevance in the biomaterials field. Nevertheless, few studies describe the influence of conjugation on enzymatic protection, mechanism of action and antimicrobial efficacy. This review addresses this gap by providing a detailed comparison between conjugated and soluble AMP. Additionally, commonly employed chemical reactions and factors to consider when promoting AMP conjugation are reviewed. The overall results suggested that AMP conjugated onto biomaterials are specifically protected from degradation by trypsin and/or pepsin. However, sometimes, their antimicrobial efficacy was reduced. Due to limited conformational freedom in conjugated AMP, compared to their soluble forms, they appear to act initially by creating small protuberances on bacterial membranes that may lead to the alteration of membrane potential and/or formation of holes, triggering cell death. Overall, AMP conjugation onto biomaterials is a promising strategy to fight infection, particularly associated to the use of medical devices. Nonetheless, some details need to be addressed before conjugated AMP reach clinical practice. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Covalent conjugation of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) has been one of the most widely used strategies by bioengineers, in an attempt to not only protect AMP from proteolytic degradation, but also to prolong their residence time at the target tissue. However, an explanation for the mode of action of conjugated AMP is still lacking. This review extensively gathers works on AMP conjugation and puts forward a mechanism of action for AMP when conjugated onto biomaterials. The implications of AMP conjugation on antimicrobial activity, cytotoxicity and resistance to proteases are all discussed. A thorough review of commonly employed chemical reactions for this conjugation is also provided. Finally, details that need to be addressed for conjugated AMP to reach clinical practice are discussed.

Abstract
Immunization is a straightforward concept but remains for some pathogens like HIV-1 a challenge. Thus, new approaches towards increasing the efficacy of vaccines are required to turn the tide. There is increasing evidence that antigen exposure over several days to weeks induces a much stronger and more sustained immune response compared to traditional bolus injection, which usually leads to antigen elimination from the body within a couple of days. Therefore, we developed a poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) hydrogel platform to investigate the principal feasibility of a sustained release of antigens to mimic natural infection kinetics. Eight-and four-armed PEG macromonomers of different MWs (10, 20, and 40 kDa) were end-group functionalized to allow for hydrogel formation via covalent cross-linking. An HIV-1 envelope (Env) antigen in its trimeric (Envtri) or monomeric (Envmono) form was applied. The soluble Env antigen was compared to a formulation of Env attached to silica nanoparticles (Env-SiNPs). The latter are known to have a higher immunogenicity compared to their soluble counterparts. Hydrogels were tunable regarding the rheological behavior allowing for different degradation times and release timeframes of Env-SiNPs over two to up to 50 days. Affinity measurements of the VCR01 antibody which specifically recognizes the CD4 binding site of Env, revealed that neither the integrity nor the functionality of Envmono-SiNPs (Kd = 2.1 ± 0.9 nM) and Envtri-SiNPs (Kd = 1.5 ± 1.3 nM), respectively, were impaired after release from the hydrogel (Kd before release: 2.1 ± 0.1 and 7.8 ± 5.3 nM, respectively). Finally, soluble Env and Env-SiNPs which are two physico-chemically distinct compounds, were co-delivered and shown to be sequentially released from one hydrogel which could be beneficial in terms of heterologous immunization or single dose vaccination. In summary, this study presents a tunable, versatile applicable, and effective delivery platform that could improve vaccination effectiveness also for other infectious diseases than HIV-1.

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
Thiol-reactive Michael acceptors are commonly used for the formation of chemically cross-linked hydrogels. In this paper, we address the drawbacks of many Michael acceptors by introducing pyridazinediones as new cross-linking agents. Through the use of pyridazinediones and their mono- or dibrominated analogues, we show that the mechanical strength, swelling ratio, and rate of gelation can all be controlled in a pH-sensitive manner. Moreover, we demonstrate that the degradation of pyridazinedione-gels can be induced by the addition of thiols, thus providing a route to responsive or dynamic gels, and that monobromo-pyridazinedione gels are able to support the proliferation of human cells. We anticipate that our results will provide a valuable and complementary addition to the existing toolkit of cross-linking agents, allowing researchers to tune and rationally design the properties of biomedical hydrogels.

Thermo-responsive Diels-Alder stabilized hydrogels for ocular drug delivery of a corticosteroid and an anti-VEGF fab fragment. J Control Release 2023; 361:334-349. [PMID: 37532147 DOI: 10.1016/j.jconrel.2023.07.052] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/30/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023]
Abstract
In the present study, a novel in situ forming thermosensitive hydrogel system was investigated as a versatile drug delivery system for ocular therapy. For this purpose, two thermosensitive ABA triblock copolymers bearing either furan or maleimide moieties were synthesized, named respectively poly(NIPAM-co-HEA/Furan)-PEG6K-P(NIPAM-co-HEA/Furan) (PNF) and poly(NIPAM-co-HEA/Maleimide)-PEG6K-P(NIPAM-co-HEA/-Maleimide) (PNM). Hydrogels were obtained upon mixing aqueous PNF and PNM solutions followed by incubation at 37 °C. The hydrogel undergoes an immediate (<1 min) sol-gel transition at 37 °C. In situ hydrogel formation at 37 °C was also observed after intravitreal injection of the formulation into an ex vivo rabbit eye. The hydrogel network formation was due to physical self-assembly of the PNIPAM blocks and a catalyst-free furan-maleimide Diels-Alder (DA) chemical crosslinking in the hydrophobic domains of the polymer network. Rheological studies demonstrated sol-gel transition at 23 °C, and DA crosslinks were formed in time within 60 min by increasing the temperature from 4 to 37 °C. When incubated at 37 °C, these hydrogels were stable for at least one year in phosphate buffer of pH 7.4. However, the gels degraded at basic pH 10 and 11 after 13 and 3 days, respectively, due to hydrolysis of ester bonds in the crosslinks of the hydrogel network. The hydrogel was loaded with an anti-VEGF antibody fragment (FAB; 48.4 kDa) or with corticosteroid dexamethasone (dex) by dissolving (FAB) or dispersing (DEX) in the hydrogel precursor solution. The FAB fragment in unmodified form was quantitatively released over 13 days after an initial burst release of 46, 45 and 28 % of the loading for the 5, 10 and 20 wt% hydrogel, respectively, due to gel dehydration during formation. The low molecular weight drug dexamethasone was almost quantitively released in 35 days. The slower release of dexamethasone compared to the FAB fragment can likely be explained by the solubilization of this hydrophobic drug in the hydrophobic domains of the gel. The thermosensitive gels showed good cytocompatibility when brought in contact with macrophage-like mural cells (RAW 264.7) and human retinal pigment epithelium-derived (ARPE-19) cells. This study demonstrates that PNF-PNM thermogel may be a suitable formulation for sustained release of bioactive agents into the eye for treating posterior segment eye diseases.

Abstract
The main aim of this review is to assess the potential use of natural cross-linking agents, such as genipin, citric acid, tannic acid, epigallocatechin gallate, and vanillin in preparing chemically cross-linked hydrogels for the biomedical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Chemical cross-linking is one of the most important methods that is commonly used to form mechanically strong hydrogels based on biopolymers, such as alginates, chitosan, hyaluronic acid, collagen, gelatin, and fibroin. Moreover, the properties of natural cross-linking agents and their advantages and disadvantages are compared relative to their commonly known synthetic cross-linking counterparts. Nowadays, advanced technologies can facilitate the acquisition of high-purity biomaterials from unreacted components with no additional purification steps. However, while planning and designing a chemical process, energy and water consumption should be limited in order to reduce the risks associated with global warming. However, many synthetic cross-linking agents, such as N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylates, epichlorohydrin, and glutaraldehyde, are harmful to both humans and the environment. One solution to this problem could be the use of bio-cross-linking agents obtained from natural resources, which would eliminate their toxic effects and ensure the safety for humans and the environment.

Abstract
Eight-armed poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels cross-linked via inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reaction between norbornene and tetrazine groups are promising materials for long-term protein delivery. While a controlled release over 265 days is achieved for 15% w/v hydrogels in the previous study, the material shows high stability over 500 days despite having cleavable ester linkages between the PEG macromonomers and their functionalities. In this study, the hydrolyzable ester linkers in the PEG-norbornene precursor structure are exchanged to reduce the degradation time. To this end, 3,6-epoxy-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide, phenyl carbamate, carbonate ester, and phenyl carbonate ester are introduced as degradable functional groups. Oscillatory shear experiments reveal that they are not affected the in situ gelation. All hydrogel types have gel points of less than 20 s even at a low polymer concentration of 5% w/v. Hydrogels with varying polymer concentrations have similar mesh sizes, all of which fell in the range of 4-12 nm. The inclusion of phenyl carbonate ester accelerates degradation considerably, with complete dissolution of 15% w/v hydrogels after 302 days of incubation in phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). Controlled release of 150 kDa fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran over a period of at least 150 days is achieved with 15% w/v hydrogels.

Abstract
Retinal diseases are the leading cause of visual impairment worldwide. The effectiveness of antibodies for the treatment of retinal diseases has been demonstrated. Despite the clinical success, achieving sufficiently high concentrations of these protein therapeutics at the target tissue for an extended period is challenging. Patients suffering from macular degeneration often receive injections once per month. Therefore, there is a growing need for suitable systems that can help reduce the number of injections and adverse effects while improving patient complacency. This study systematically characterized degradable "in situ" forming hydrogels that can be easily injected into the vitreous cavity using a small needle (29G). After intravitreal injection, the formulation is designed to undergo a sol-gel phase transition at the administration site to obtain an intraocular depot system for long-term sustained release of bioactives. A Diels-Alder reaction was exploited to crosslink hyaluronic acid-bearing furan groups (HAFU) with 4 arm-PEG10K-maleimide (4APM), yielding stable hydrogels. Here, a systematic investigation of the effects of polymer composition and the ratio between functional groups on the physicochemical properties of hydrogels was performed to select the most suitable formulation for protein delivery. Rheological analysis showed rapid hydrogel formation, with the fastest gel formation within 5 min after mixing the hydrogel precursors. In this study, the mechanical properties of an ex vivo intravitreally formed hydrogel were investigated and compared to the in vitro fabricated samples. Swelling and degradation studies showed that the hydrogels are biodegradable by the retro-Diels-Alder reaction under physiological conditions. The 4APM-HAFU (ratio 1:5) hydrogel formulation showed sustained release of bevacizumab > 400 days by a combination of diffusion, swelling, and degradation. A bioassay showed that the released bevacizumab remained bioactive. The hydrogel platform described in this study offers high potential for the sustained release of therapeutic antibodies to treat ocular diseases.

Abstract
Engineered T-cell therapies have proven highly efficacious for the treatment of haematological cancers, but translation of this success to solid tumours has been limited, in part, due to difficulties in maintaining high doses at specific target sites. Hydrogel delivery systems that provide a sustained release of T-cells at the target site are emerging as a promising strategy. Therefore, in this study we aimed to develop an injectable hydrogel that gels in situ via efficient Diels-Alder cycloaddition (DAC) chemistry and provides a sustained release of T-cells through gradual hydrolysis of the hydrogel matrix. Hydrogels were prepared via the DAC between fulvene and maleimide functionalised poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) derivatives. By adjusting the concentration and molecular weight of the functionalised PEGs in the hydrogel formulation the in vitro gelation time (Tgel), initial Young's modulus (E) and degradation time (Td) could be tailored from 15-150 min, 5-179 kPa and 7-114 h, respectively. Prior to gelation, the formulations could be readily injected through narrow gauge (26 G) needles with the working time correlating closely with the Tgel. A 5 wt% hydrogel formation with conjugated cyclic RGD motif was found to be optimal for the encapsulation and release of CD3+ T-cells with a near linear release profile and >70% cell viability over the first 4 d and release continuing out to 7 d. With their tuneable Tgel, Td and stiffness, the DAC hydrogels provide the opportunity to control the release period and profile of encapsulated cells.

Abstract
Viscoelastic hydrogels are gaining interest as they possess necessary requirements for bioprinting and injectability. By means of reversible, dynamic covalent bonds, it is possible to achieve features that recapitulate the dynamic character of the extracellular matrix. Dually cross-linked and double-network (DN) hydrogels seem to be ideal for the design of novel biomaterials and bioinks, as a wide range of properties required for mimicking advanced and complex tissues can be achieved. In this study, we investigated the fabrication of chondroitin sulfate/hyaluronic acid (CS/HA)-based DN hydrogels, in which two networks are interpenetrated and cross-linked with the dynamic covalent bonds of very different lifetimes. Namely, Diels-Alder adducts (between methylfuran and maleimide) and hydrazone bonds (between aldehyde and hydrazide) were chosen as cross-links, leading to viscoelastic hydrogels. Furthermore, we show that viscoelasticity and the dynamic character of the resulting hydrogels could be tuned by changing the composition, that is, the ratio between the two types of cross-links. Also, due to a very dynamic nature and short lifetime of hydrazone cross-links (∼800 s), the DN hydrogel is easily processable (e.g., injectable) in the first stages of gelation, allowing the material to be used in extrusion-based 3D printing. The more long-lasting and robust Diels-Alder cross-links are responsible for giving the network enhanced mechanical strength and structural stability. Being highly charged and hydrophilic, the cross-linked CS and HA enable a high swelling capacity (maximum swelling ratio ranging from 6 to 12), which upon confinement results in osmotically stiffened constructs, able to mimic the mechanical properties of cartilage tissue, with the equilibrium moduli ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 MPa. Moreover, the mesenchymal stromal cells were viable in the presence of the hydrogels, and the effect of the degradation products on the macrophages suggests their safe use for further translational applications. The DN hydrogels with dynamic covalent cross-links hold great potential for the development of novel smart and tunable viscoelastic materials to be used as biomaterial inks or bioinks in bioprinting and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Biopolymers are natural polymers sourced from plants and animals, which include a variety of polysaccharides and polypeptides. The inclusion of biopolymers into biomedical hydrogels is of great interest because of their inherent biochemical and biophysical properties, such as cellular adhesion, degradation, and viscoelasticity. The objective of this Review is to provide a detailed overview of the design and development of biopolymer hydrogels for biomedical applications, with an emphasis on biopolymer chemical modifications and cross-linking methods. First, the fundamentals of biopolymers and chemical conjugation methods to introduce cross-linking groups are described. Cross-linking methods to form biopolymer networks are then discussed in detail, including (i) covalent cross-linking (e.g., free radical chain polymerization, click cross-linking, cross-linking due to oxidation of phenolic groups), (ii) dynamic covalent cross-linking (e.g., Schiff base formation, disulfide formation, reversible Diels-Alder reactions), and (iii) physical cross-linking (e.g., guest-host interactions, hydrogen bonding, metal-ligand coordination, grafted biopolymers). Finally, recent advances in the use of chemically modified biopolymer hydrogels for the biofabrication of tissue scaffolds, therapeutic delivery, tissue adhesives and sealants, as well as the formation of interpenetrating network biopolymer hydrogels, are highlighted.

Abstract
The advancement of click-functionalized hydrogels in recent years has coincided with rapid growth in the fields of mechanobiology, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. Click chemistries represent a group of reactions that possess high reactivity and specificity, are cytocompatible, and generally proceed under physiologic conditions. Most notably, the high level of tunability afforded by these reactions enables the design of user-controlled and tissue-mimicking hydrogels in which the influence of important physical and biochemical cues on normal and aberrant cellular behaviors can be independently assessed. Several critical tissue properties, including stiffness, viscoelasticity, and biomolecule presentation, are known to regulate cell mechanobiology in the context of development, wound repair, and disease. However, many questions still remain about how the individual and combined effects of these instructive properties regulate the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing physiologic and pathologic processes. In this review, we discuss several click chemistries that have been adopted to design dynamic and instructive hydrogels for mechanobiology investigations. We also chart a path forward for how click hydrogels can help reveal important insights about complex tissue microenvironments.

Abstract
This work is devoted to studying the effects of non-magnetic shell coating on nanoparticles in a low frequency alternating magnetic field (LF AMF) on tumor cells in vitro. Two types of iron oxide nanoparticles with the same magnetic core with and without silica shells were synthesized. Nanoparticles with silica shells significantly decreased the viability of PC3 cancer cells in a low frequency alternating magnetic field according to the cytotoxicity test, unlike uncoated nanoparticles. We showed that cell death results from the intracellular membrane integrity failure, and the calcium ions concentration increase with the subsequent necrosis. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the uncoated silica nanoparticles are primarily found in an aggregated form in cells. We believe that uncoated nanoparticles lose their colloidal stability in an acidic endosomal environment after internalization into the cell due to surface etching and the formation of aggregates. As a result, they encounter high endosomal macromolecular viscosity and become unable to rotate efficiently. We assume that effective rotation of nanoparticles causes cell death. In turn, silica shell coating increases nanoparticles stability, preventing aggregation in endosomes. Thus, we propose that the colloidal stability of magnetic nanoparticles inside cells is one of the key factors for effective magneto-mechanical actuation.

Abstract
The Diels-Alder reaction and its retro breakdown has garnered increasing research focus due to several of its advantageous properties including, atomic conservation, reversibility, and substituent retention. This is especially true in biomedical application and nanomedicine development which display a preference for rapid, efficient, and clean "click" chemistry reactions allowing for delivery of active ingredients and subsequent release upon temperature elevation. There are multiple variations on the Diels-Alder reaction based around substitution position and materials being coupled which can affect the temperature threshold for and rate of the retro reaction reversal. Hence, the Diels-Alder reaction offers a simple coupling reaction for active ingredients with tailorable release. In this review the incorporation of the Diels-Alder chemistries and linkers within the biomedical and nanomedicine field will be discussed, as well as its use in future potential technologies.

Abstract
The display of native-like human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope (HIV-1 Env) trimers on liposomes has gained wide attention over the last few years. Currently, available methods have enabled the preparation of Env-liposome conjugates of unprecedented quality. However, these protocols require the Env trimer to be tagged and/or to carry a specific functional group. For this reason, we have investigated N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide/N-Hydroxysulfosuccinimide (EDC/Sulfo-NHS) chemistry for its potential to covalently conjugate tag-free, non-functionalized native-like Env trimers onto the surface of carboxyl-functionalized liposomes. The preservation of the liposome's physical integrity and the immunogen's conformation required a fine-tuned two-step approach based on the controlled use of β-mercaptoethanol. The display of Env trimers was strictly limited to activated liposomes of positive charge, i.e., liposomes with a positive zeta potential that carry amine-reactive Sulfo-NHS esters on their surface. In agreement with that, conjugation was found to be highly ionic strength- and pH-dependent. Overall, we have identified electrostatic pre-concentration (i.e., close proximity between negatively charged Env trimers and positively charged liposomes established through electrostatic attraction) to be crucial for conjugation reactions to proceed. The present study highlights the requirements and limitations of potentially scalable EDC/Sulfo-NHS-based approaches and represents a solid basis for further research into the controlled conjugation of tag-free, non-functionalized native-like Env trimers on the surface of liposomes, and other nanoparticles.

Abstract
A simple magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-poly-enzyme nanobead sandwich assay for direct detection of ultralow levels of unlabeled target-DNA is developed. This approach uses a capture-DNA covalently linked to a dense PEGylated polymer encapsulated MNP and a biotinylated signal-DNA to sandwich the target-DNA. A DNA ligation is then followed to offer high discrimination between the perfect-match and single-base mismatch target-DNAs. Only the presence of a perfect-match target can covalently link the biotinylated signal-DNA onto the MNP surface for subsequent binding to a polymer nanobead tagged with thousands of copies of high-activity neutravidin-horseradish peroxidase (NAV-HRP) for great enzymatic signal amplification. Combining the advantages of the dense MNP surface PEGylation to reduce non-specific adsorption (assay background) and the powerful signal amplification of poly-enzyme nanobead, this assay can directly quantify the target-DNA down to single digit attomolar with a large linear dynamic range of 5 orders of magnitude (from 10-18 to 10-13M).

Abstract
Despite untiring efforts to develop therapies for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), survival statistics remain dismal, necessitating distinct approaches. Photodynamic priming (PDP), which improves drug delivery and combination regimens, as well as tumor photodestruction are key attributes of photodynamic therapy (PDT), making it a distinctive clinical option for PDAC. Localized, high-payload nanomedicine-assisted delivery of photosensitizers (PSs), with molecular specificity and controlled photoactivation, thus becomes critical in order to reduce collateral toxicity during more expansive photodynamic activation procedures with curative intent. As such, targeted photoactivable lipid-based nanomedicines are an ideal candidate but have failed to provide greater than two-fold cancer cell selectivity, if at all, due to their extensive multivariant physical, optical, and chemical complexity. Here, we report (1) a systematic multivariant tuning approach to engineer (Cet, anti-EGFR mAb) photoimmunonanoconjugates (PINs), and (2) stroma-rich heterotypic PDAC in vitro and in vivo models incorporating patient-derived pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts (PCAFs) that recapitulate the desmoplasia observed in the clinic. These offer a comprehensive, disease-specific framework for the development of Cet-PINs. Specificity-tuning of the PINs, in terms of PS lipid anchoring, electrostatic modulation, Cet orientation, and Cet surface densities, achieved ∼16-fold binding specificities and rapid penetration of the heterotypic organoids within 1 h, thereby providing a ∼16-fold enhancement in molecular targeted NIR photodestruction. As a demonstration of their inherent amenability for multifunctionality, encapsulation of high payloads of gemcitabine hydrochloride, 5-fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin within the Cet-PINs further improved their antitumor efficacy in the heterotypic organoids. In heterotypic desmoplastic tumors, the Cet-PINs efficiently penetrated up to 470 μm away from blood vessels, and photodynamic activation resulted in substantial tumor necrosis, which was not elicited in T47D tumors (low EGFR) or when using untargeted constructs in both tumor types. Photodynamic activation of the Cet-PINs in the heterotypic desmoplastic tumors resulted in collagen photomodulation, with a 1.5-fold reduction in collagen density, suggesting that PDP may also hold potential for conquering desmoplasia. The in vivo safety profile of photodynamic activation of the Cet-PINs was also substantially improved, as compared to the untargeted constructs. While treatment using the Cet-PINs did not cause any detriment to the mice's health or to healthy proximal tissue, photodynamic activation of untargeted constructs induced severe acute cachexia and weight loss in all treated mice, with substantial peripheral skin necrosis, muscle necrosis, and bowel perforation. This study is the first report demonstrating the true value of molecular targeting for NIR-activable PINs. These constructs integrate high payload delivery, efficient photodestruction, molecular precision, and collagen photomodulation in desmoplastic PDAC tumors in a single treatment using a single construct. Such combined PIN platforms and heterocellular models open up an array of further multiplexed combination therapies to synergistically control desmoplastic tumor progression and extend PDAC patient survival.

Abstract
A hyaluronic acid (HA) based injectable hydrogel with gradually increasing mechanical properties was synthesized via photo-crosslinking reaction and thermal-induced Diels-Alder (DA) reaction. The injectable hydrogel can quickly gelate within 30 s by photo-crosslinking of HA-furan under the catalysis of lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP). This injectable property is beneficial to keep the encapsulated cell activity and convenient for clinical operation. And the mechanical properties can be control from 4.86 to 10.66 kPa by exposure time. Then, the thermal-induced DA click chemistry further occurs between furan groups and maleimide groups which gradually promoted the crosslinking density of the injectable hydrogel. The mechanical properties of the injectable hydrogel can be promoted to 21 kPa. ATDC-5 cells were successfully encapsulated in the injectable hydrogel and showed good activity. All the results suggested that the injectable hydrogel with gradually increasing mechanical properties formed by photo-crosslinking reaction and thermal-induced DA reaction has a good prospect of application in cartilage tissue engineering.

Abstract
Antibody fragment (Fab')-installed polyion complex (PIC) micelles were constructed to improve targetability of small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery to pancreatic cancer cells. To this end, we synthesized a block copolymer of azide-functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(l-lysine) and prepared PIC micelles with siRNA. Then, a dibenzylcyclooctyne (DBCO)-modified antihuman tissue factor (TF) Fab' was conjugated to azido groups on the micellar surface. A fluorescence correlation spectroscopic analysis revealed that 1, 2, or 3 molecule(s) of Fab'(s) were installed onto one micellar nanoparticle according to the feeding ratio of Fab' (or DBCO) to micelle (or azide). The resulting micelles exhibited ∼40 nm in hydrodynamic diameter, similar to that of the parent micelles before Fab' conjugation. Flow cytometric analysis showed that three molecules of Fab'-installed PIC micelles (3(Fab')-micelles) had the highest binding affinity to cultured pancreatic cancer BxPC3 cells, which are known to overexpress TF on their surface. The 3(Fab')-micelles also exhibited the most efficient gene silencing activity against polo-like kinase 1 mRNA in the cultured cancer cells. Furthermore, the 3(Fab')-micelles exhibited high penetrability and the highest cellular internalization amounts in BxPC3 spheroids compared with one or two molecule(s) of Fab'-installed PIC micelles. These results demonstrate the potential of anti-TF Fab'-installed PIC micelles for active targeting of stroma-rich pancreatic tumors.

Abstract
Natural extracellular matrices (ECMs) have been widely used as a support for the adhesion, migration, differentiation, and proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). However, poor mechanical behavior and unpredictable biodegradation properties of natural ECMs considerably limit their potential for bioapplications and raise the need for different, synthetic scaffolds. Hydrogels are regarded as the most promising alternative materials as a consequence of their excellent swelling properties and their resemblance to soft tissues. A variety of strategies have been applied to create synthetic biomimetic hydrogels, and their biophysical and biochemical properties have been modulated to be suitable for cell differentiation. In this review, we first give an overview of common methods for hydrogel preparation with a focus on those strategies that provide potential advantages for ADSC encapsulation, before summarizing the physical properties of hydrogel scaffolds that can act as biological cues. Finally, the challenges in the preparation and application of hydrogels with ADSCs are explored and the perspectives are proposed for the next generation of scaffolds.

Abstract
Maleimide-thiol chemistry is widely used for the design and preparation of ligand-decorated drug delivery systems such as poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) based nanoparticles (NPs). While many publications on nanocarriers functionalized exploiting this strategy are available in the literature, the conditions at which this reaction takes place vary among publications. This paper presents a comprehensive study on the conjugation of the peptide cRGDfK and the nanobody 11A4 (both containing a free thiol group) to maleimide functionalized PLGA NPs by means of the maleimide-thiol click reaction. The influence of different parameters, such as the nanoparticles preparation method and storage conditions as well as the molar ratio of maleimide to ligand used for conjugation, on the reaction efficiency has been evaluated. The NPs were prepared by a single or double emulsion method using different types and concentrations of surfactants and stored at 4 or 20 °C before reaction with the targeting moieties. Several maleimide to ligand molar ratios and different reaction times were studied and the conjugation efficiency was determined by quantification of the not-bound ligand by liquid chromatography. The kind of emulsion used to prepare the NPs as well as the type and concentration of surfactant used had no effect on the conjugation efficiency. Reaction between the maleimide groups present in the NPs and cRGDfK was optimal at a maleimide to thiol molar ratio of 2:1, reaching a conjugation efficiency of 84 ± 4% after 30 min at room temperature in 10 mM HEPES pH 7.0. For 11A4 nanobody the optimal reaction efficiency, 58 ± 12%, was achieved after 2 h of incubation at room temperature in PBS pH 7.4 using a 5:1 maleimide to protein molar ratio. Storage of the NPs at 4 °C for 7 days prior to their exposure to the ligands resulted in approximately 10% decrease in the reactivity of maleimide in contrast to storage at 20 °C which led to almost 40% of the maleimide being unreactive after the same storage time. Our findings demonstrate that optimization of this reaction, particularly in terms of reactant ratios, can represent a significant increase in the conjugation efficiency and prevent considerable waste of resources.

Abstract
Engineered hydrogels have been extensively used to direct cell function in 3D cell culture models, which are more representative of the native cellular microenvironment than conventional 2D cell culture. Previously, hyaluronan-furan and bis-maleimide polyethylene glycol hydrogels were synthesized via Diels-Alder chemistry at acidic pH, which did not allow encapsulation of viable cells. In order to enable gelation at physiological pH, the reaction kinetics were accelerated by replacing the hyaluronan-furan with the more electron-rich hyaluronan-methylfuran. These new click-cross-linked hydrogels gel faster and at physiological pH, enabling encapsulation of viable cells, as demonstrated with 3D culture of 5 different cancer cell lines. The methylfuran accelerates Diels-Alder cycloaddition yet also increases the retro Diels-Alder reaction. Using computational analysis, we gain insight into the mechanism of the increased Diels-Alder reactivity and uncover that transition state geometry and an unexpected hydrogen-bonding interaction are important contributors to the observed rate enhancement. This cross-linking strategy serves as a platform for bioconjugation and hydrogel synthesis for use in 3D cell culture and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Hydrogels are used in a wide variety of biomedical applications including tissue engineering, biomolecule delivery, cell delivery, and cell culture. These hydrogels are often designed with a specific biological function in mind, requiring the chemical incorporation of bioactive factors to either mimic extracellular matrix or to deliver a payload to diseased tissue. Appropriate synthetic techniques to ligate bioactive factors, such as peptides and proteins, onto hydrogels are critical in designing materials with biological function. Here, we outline strategies for peptide and protein immobilization. We specifically focus on click chemistry, enzymatic ligation, and affinity binding for transient immobilization. Protein modification strategies have shifted toward site-specific modification using unnatural amino acids and engineered site-selective amino acid sequences to preserve both activity and structure. The selection of appropriate protein immobilization strategies is vital to engineering functional hydrogels. We provide insight into chemistry that balances the need for facile reactions while maintaining protein bioactivity or desired release.

Abstract
The formation and subsequent on-demand dissolution of chemically cross-linked hydrogels is of keen interest to chemists, engineers, and clinicians. In this Account, we summarize our recent advances in the area of dissolvable chemically cross-linked hydrogels and provide a comparative discussion of other recent hydrogel systems. Using biocompatible macromonomers, we developed a library of cross-linked dendritic hydrogels that possess favorable properties, including biocompatibility, tissue adhesion, and swelling. Additionally, these hydrogels possess the unique ability to dissolve on-demand via application of a biocompatible aqueous solution. Each of the three hydrogel systems described employs a thiol-thioester exchange reaction as the mechanism of dissolution. These new materials successfully decrease bleeding in in vivo models of hepatic and aortic hemorrhage and dissolve on-demand, providing easy removal. In addition, we evaluated these hydrogels as dressings for second-degree burn wounds and performed proof-of-concept in vivo studies. These hydrogel wound dressings provide a means of repeatedly changing the dressing in a minimally invasive and atraumatic manner while also serving as a protective barrier against bacterial infection. Finally, we highlight the seminal work of other researchers in the field of dissolvable chemically cross-linked hydrogels using thiol-disulfide exchange, retro-Michael-type, and retro-Diels-Alder reactions. These chemistries provide a versatile synthetic toolbox to dissolve hydrogels in a controlled manner on time scales from minutes to weeks. Continued investigation of these dissolution approaches as well as the development of new chemical reactions will open doors to other avenues of on-demand dissolution and expand the application space for these materials. In summary, the management and closure of wounds after traumatic injury or surgical intervention are of significant clinical importance. Stimuli-responsive hydrogels that function as sealants, adhesives, or dressings are emerging as vital alternatives to current standards of care that rely upon conventional sutures, staples, or dressings.
