Abstract
The design and development of advanced drug delivery systems targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS) have gained significant interest in recent years for treating various diseases, including cancer, psychiatric diseases, cardiovascular diseases, neurological diseases, metabolic diseases, and chronic inflammations. Integrating specific chemical bonds capable of effectively responding to ROS and triggering drug release into the delivery system is crucial. In this Review, we discuss commonly used conjugation linkers (chemical bonds) and categorize them into two groups: cleavable linkers and noncleavable linkers. Our goal is to clarify their unique drug release mechanisms from a chemical perspective and provide practical organic synthesis approaches for their efficient production. We showcase numerous significant examples to demonstrate their synthesis routes and diverse applications. Ultimately, we strive to present a comprehensive overview of cleavage and noncleavage chemistry, offering insights into the development of smart drug delivery systems that respond to ROS.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial infections and accelerating wound closure are essential in the process of wound healing. Current wound dressings lack enough mechanical properties, self-healing ability, and tissue adhesiveness, and the bacterial killing also relies on the use of antibiotic drugs. Herein, a well-designed hybrid hydrogel dressing is constructed by simple copolymerization of acrylamide (AM), 3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid (AAPBA), chitosan (CS), and the nanoscale tannic acid (TA)/ferric ion (Fe3+) complex (TFe). The resulting hydrogel possesses lots of free catechol, phenylboronic acid, amine, and hydroxyl groups and contains many reversible and dynamic bonds such as multiple hydrogen bonds and boronate ester bonds, thereby showing satisfactory mechanical properties, fast self-healing ability, and desirable tissue-adhesive performance. Benefiting from the high photothermal conversion efficiency of the TFe, the hydrogel exhibits satisfactory antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the embedded TFe also endows the hydrogel with good antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory property, and cell proliferation to promote tissue regeneration. Remarkably, in vivo animal assays reveal that the hybrid hydrogel effectively eliminates biofilm bacteria in the wound sites and accelerates the healing process of infected wounds. Taken together, the developed versatile hydrogels overcome the shortcomings of traditional wound dressings and are expected to become potential antibacterial dressings for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
With the rapid development of nanotechnology, stimuli-responsive nanomaterials have provided an alternative for designing controllable drug delivery systems due to their spatiotemporally controllable properties. The environment of the human body is complex and cancer cells proliferate rapidly; the traditional nanocarriers could not release the loaded drugs sufficiently, and the release level of the drug is not sufficient for the requirement of treatment. Herein, a photoresponsive, glutathione, and reactive oxygen species block copolymer mPEG2k-ONB-SS-PO-mPEG2k is prepared by Cu(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition click polymerization. The ο-nitrobenzyl groups, peroxalate ester bonds, disulfide bonds, and triazole units are regularly and repeatedly arranged in hydrophobic blocks. The photo, oxidative, and reductive responsive characteristics of the copolymers in different conditions were investigated by ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy. Nile Red is encapsulated into the core of micelles as a model drug and exhibits the drug release behaviors in various environments. This research provides a way to design potential drug carriers and a promising platform for efficient intracellular drug delivery in cancer therapy.

Abstract
Light has been present throughout the history of mankind and even the universe. It is of great significance to human life, contributing to energy, agriculture, communication, and much more. In the biomedical field, light has been developed as a switch to control medical processes with minimal invasion and high spatiotemporal selectivity. During the past three years, near-infrared (NIR) light as long-wavelength light has been applied to more than 3000 achievements in biological applications due to its deep penetration depth and low phototoxicity. Remotely controlled cancer therapy usually involves the conversion of biologically inert NIR light. Thus, various materials, especially nanomaterials that can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), ultraviolet (UV)/visual light, or thermal energy and so on under NIR illumination achieve great potential for the research of nanomedicine. Here, we offered an overview of recent advances in NIR light-activated nanomedicine for cancer therapeutic applications. NIR-light-conversion nanotechnologies for both directly triggering nanodrugs and smart drug delivery toward tumor therapy were discussed emphatically. The challenges and future trends of the use of NIR light in biomedical applications were also provided as a conclusion. We expect that this review will spark inspiration for biologists, materials scientists, pharmacologists, and chemists to fight against diseases and boost the future clinical-translational applications of NIR technology-based precision nanomedicine.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play an essential role in regulating various physiological functions of living organisms; however, as the concentration of ROS increases in the area of a lesion, this may undermine cellular homeostasis, leading to a series of diseases. Using cell-product species as triggers for targeted regulation of polymer structures and activity represents a promising approach for the treatment. ROS-responsive polymer carriers allow the targeted delivery of drugs, reduce toxicity and side effects on normal cells, and control the release of drugs, which are all advantages compared with traditional small-molecule chemotherapy agents. These formulations have attracted great interest due to their potential applications in biomedicine. In this review, recent progresses on ROS responsive polymer carriers are summarized, with a focus on the chemical mechanism of ROS-responsive polymers and the design of molecular structures for targeted drug delivery and controlled drug release. Meanwhile, we discuss the challenges and future prospects of its applications.

Abstract
Herein, lactoferrin (Lf)/phenylboronic acid (PBA)-functionalized hyaluronic acid nanogels crosslinked with disulfide-bond crosslinker was developed as a reduction-sensitive dual-targeting glioma therapeutic platform for doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) delivery (Lf-DOX/PBNG). Spherical Lf-DOX/PBNG with optimized physicochemical properties was obtained, and it could rapidly release the encapsulated DOX under high glutathione concentration. Moreover, enhanced cytotoxicity, superior cellular uptake efficiency, and significantly improved brain permeability of Lf-DOX/PBNG were observed in cytological studies compared with those of DOX solution, DOX-loaded PBA functionalized nanogels (DOX/PBNG), and Lf modified DOX-loaded nanogels (Lf-DOX/NG). The pharmacokinetic study exhibited that the area under the curve of DOX/PBNG, Lf-DOX/NG, and Lf-DOX/PBNG increased by 8.12, 4.20 and 4.32 times compared with that of DOX solution, respectively. The brain accumulation of Lf-DOX/PBNG was verified in biodistribution study to be 12.37 and 4.67 times of DOX solution and DOX/PBNG, respectively. These findings suggest that Lf-DOX/PBNG is an excellent candidate for achieving effective glioma targeting.

Abstract
Current standard of care dressings are unsatisfactorily inefficacious for the treatment of chronic wounds. Chronic inflammation is the primary cause of the long-term incurable nature of chronic wounds. Herein, an absorbable nanofibrous hydrogel is developed for synergistic modulation of the inflammation microenvironment to accelerate chronic diabetic wound healing. The electrospun thioether grafted hyaluronic acid nanofibers (FHHA-S/Fe) are able to form a nanofibrous hydrogel in situ on the wound bed. This hydrogel degrades and is absorbed gradually within 3 days. The grafted thioethers on HHA can scavenge the reactive oxygen species quickly in the early inflammation phase to relieve the inflammation reactions. Additionally, the HHA itself is able to promote the transformation of the gathered M1 macrophages to the M2 phenotype, thus synergistically accelerating the wound healing phase transition from inflammation to proliferation and remodeling. On the chronic diabetic wound model, the average remaining wound area after FHHA-S/Fe treatment is much smaller than both that of FHHA/Fe without grafted thioethers and the control group, especially in the early wound healing stage. Therefore, this facile dressing strategy with intrinsic dual modulation mechanisms of the wound inflammation microenvironment may act as an effective and safe treatment strategy for chronic wound management.

Abstract
Bio-recognizable and photocleavable amphiphilic glycopolymers and prodrugs containing photodegradable linkers (i.e. 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzyl alcohol) as junction points between bio-recognizable hydrophilic glucose (or maltose) and hydrophobic poly(α-azo-ε-caprolactone)-grafted alkyne or drug chains were synthesized by combining ring-opening polymerization, nucleophilic substitution, and “click” post-functionalization with alkynyl-pyrene and 2-nitrobenzyl-functionalized indomethacin (IMC). The block-grafted glycocopolymers could self-assemble into spherical photoresponsive micelles with hydrodynamic sizes of <200 nm. Fluorescence emission measurements indicated the release of Nile red, a hydrophobic dye, encapsulated by the Glyco-ONB-P(αN3CL-g-alkyne)n micelles, in response to irradiation caused by micelle disruption. Light-triggered bursts were observed for IMC-loaded or -conjugated micelles during the first 5 h. Following light irradiation, the drug release rate of IMC-conjugated micelles was faster than that of IMC-loaded micelles. Selective lectin binding experiments confirmed that glycosylated Glyco-ONB-P(αN3CL-g-alkyne)n could be used in bio-recognition applications. The nano-prodrug with and without UV irradiation was associated with negligible levels of toxicity at concentrations of less than 30 μg mL−1. The confocal microscopy and flow cytometry results indicated that the uptake of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded micelles with UV irradiation by HeLa cells was faster than without UV irradiation. The DOX-loaded Gluco-ONB-P(αN3CL-g-PONBIMC)10 micelles effectively inhibited HeLa cells' proliferation with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration of 8.8 μg mL−1. Bio-recognizable and photocleavable amphiphilic glycopolymers and prodrugs containing photodegradable linkers as junction points between hydrophilic glycose and hydrophobic poly(α-azo-ε-caprolactone)-grafted alkyne or drug chains were synthesized.![]()

Abstract
Given the increasing evidence indicates that many pathological conditions are associated with elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, there have been growing research efforts focused on the development of ROS-responsive carrier systems because of their promising potential to realize more specific diagnosis and effective therapy. By judicious utilization of ROS-responsive functional moieties, a wide range of carrier systems has been designed for ROS-mediated drug delivery. In this review article, insights into design principle and recent advances on the development of ROS-responsive carrier systems for drug delivery applications are provided alongside discussion of their in vitro and in vivo evaluation. In particular, the discussions in this article will mainly focus on polymeric nanoparticles, hydrogels, inorganic nanoparticles, and activatable prodrugs that have been integrated with diverse ROS-responsive moieties for spatiotemporally controlled release of drugs for effective therapy.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) (H2 O2 , OCl(-) , (•) OH, O2 (-) ) are a family of reactive molecules that are generated intracellularly and are engaged in many biological processes. In physiological concentrations, ROS act as signaling molecules to a number of metabolic pathways; however, in excess they can be harmful to living organisms. Overproduction of ROS has been related to many pathophysiological conditions and a number of studies have been reported in elucidating their mechanism in these conditions. With the aim of harnessing this role, a number of imaging tools and therapeutic compounds have been developed. Here these imaging and therapeutic tools are reviewed and particularly those structures with ROS-sensitivity based on their biomedical applications and their functional groups. There is also a brief discussion about the method of preparation as well as the mechanism of action.
