Abstract
Food hydrogels are biopolymeric materials made from food-grade biopolymers with gelling properties (proteins and polysaccharides) and a 3D network capable of incorporating large amounts of water. They have sparked considerable interest because of their potential and broad application range in the biomedical and pharmaceutical sectors. However, hydrogel research in the field of food science is still limited. This knowledge gap provides numerous opportunities for implementing their unique properties, such as high water-holding capacity, moderated texture, compatibility with other substances, cell biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high resemblance to living tissues, for the development of novel, functional food matrices. For that reason, this article includes a bibliometric analysis characterizing research trends in food protein-polysaccharide hydrogels (over the last ten years). Additionally, it characterizes the most recent developments in hydrogel induction methods and the most recent application progress of hydrogels as food matrices as carriers for the targeted delivery of bioactive compounds. Finally, this article provides a future perspective on the need to evaluate the feasibility of using plant-based proteins and polysaccharides to develop food matrices that protect nutrients, including bioactive substances, throughout processing, storage, and digestion until they reach the specific targeted area of the digestive system.

Abstract
Bioprinting is a promising fabrication technique aimed at developing biologically functional, tissue-like constructs for various biomedical applications. Among the different bioprinting approaches, vat polymerization-based techniques offer the highest feature resolution compared to more commonly used extrusion-based methods and therefore have greater potential to be utilized for printing complex hierarchical tissue architectures. Although significant efforts have been directed toward harnessing digital light processing techniques for high-resolution bioprinting, the use of stereolithography (SLA) setups for producing distinct hydrogel filaments smaller than 20 μm has received less attention. Improving the bioprinting resolution is still a technical challenge that must consider both the practical limitations of the bioprinter apparatus and the formulation of the cytocompatible bioresin. In this study, we developed a novel bioresin compatible with SLA and capable of printing high-resolution features. This resin, composed of a biosynthetic polypeptide poly(l-glutamic acid) functionalized with tyramine moieties (PLGA-Tyr), was crosslinked using a visible-light photoinitiator system. Varying concentrations of PLGA-Tyr and the co-photoinitiator were evaluated for the hydrogel system's gelation ability, swelling characteristics, degradation profiles, mechanical properties, and cell viability post-encapsulation. This study introduces a custom-built, cost-effective, visible-light SLA bioprinting system named the "MicroNC". Using the newly developed visible-light bioresin, we demonstrated for the first time the ability to fabricate hydrogel scaffolds with well-resolved filaments (less than 8 μm in width) capable of supporting cell viability and proliferation and directing cellular morphology at the single-cell level for up to 14 days. Overall, these experiments have underscored the exciting potential of using the visible-light-photoinitiated PLGA-Tyr material system for developing physiologically relevant in vitro hydrogel scaffolds with feature resolutions comparable to the dimensions of individual human cells for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Hydrogel formulations are considered to be promising dosage forms for clinical delivery of antibiotics but suffer from many limitations such as polymers selection and crosslinking methods. Herein, dynamic Schiff base reaction crosslinked hydrogels (denoted as CO) with 'switchable' channels were designed based on Chitosan and Salecan. Chitosan maintains the pH sensitive property while providing functional groups for the reversible bond formation. Equilibrium water content, swelling and degradation behavior, dynamic rheology and cytotoxicity assay were investigated to characterize the hydrogels' properties. By simulating and comparing four classic models, the drug release kinetics and mechanism were studied in detail. HeLa cells were encapsulated to further exploring the feasibility of 3D cell culture. All the results revealed CO hydrogels possessed excellent biological functions to maintain cell growth. Therefore, CO hydrogels can be served as a promising carrier for drug delivery and also expected to apply in many other medical fields.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in clinical medicine. As an important member, vancomycin often plays an irreplaceable role in some serious infections, but its use still lacks suitable carriers and effective formulations. In order to find a vancomycin carrier with potential for clinical application, a new class of oxidized salecan/gelatin based injectable hydrogels are constructed through dynamic covalent Schiff base reaction. The sodium periodate oxidized salecan (OS) precursor was synthesized, and then the gelatin/oxidized salecan (GS) hydrogels are formed by blending gelatin and OS buffer solutions without any additives under physiological condition. The chemical structure, as well as internal morphologies, mechanical properties, In vitro enzymatic degradation profile of hydrogels are investigated with proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), compression test and rheological experiments. The resulted hydrogels exhibit excellent antibacterial ability and variable characteristics. Moreover, the hydrogels display ideal drug release kinetics and mechanisms, and are applied successfully to the controlled release of vancomycin. Importantly, benefitting from the excellent biocompatibility and the reversibly crosslinked networks, GS hydrogels can function as suitable three dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix for HeLa cells, leading to the encapsulated cells maintaining a high viability and proliferative capacity. Therefore, the injectable GS hydrogels demonstrated attractive properties for future application in pharmaceutics and tissue engineering.

Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in clinical medicine. As an important member, vancomycin often plays an irreplaceable role in some serious infections but for its use, there is still a lack of suitable carriers and effective formulations. To find a vancomycin carrier with potential for clinical applications, a new class of poly(γ-glutamic acid)/dextran-based injectable hydrogels have been constructed through dynamic covalent hydrazone linkages. Adipic dihydrazide (ADH)-grafted poly(γ-glutamic acid) (PGAADH) and sodium periodate-oxidized dextran (OD) precursors were synthesized; then, the hydrogels were formed by blending PGAADH and OD buffer solutions without any additives under physiological conditions. The newly formed precursor structures, mechanical properties, morphologies, hydrogel degradation profiles, and the interaction between the drug and precursors were investigated with FTIR spectroscopy, 1H NMR spectroscopy, rheological experiments, compression tests, SEM, and isothermal titration calorimetric (ITC) measurements. The resulting hydrogels exhibited excellent antibacterial ability and ideal variable performances. Moreover, the hydrogels exhibited different drug release kinetics and mechanisms and were applied effectively towards the controlled release of vancomycin. Significantly, benefitting from the reversibly cross-linked systems and the excellent biocompatibility, the hydrogels can work as the ideal material for HeLa cell culture, leading to encapsulated cells with higher viability and capacity that is proliferative. Therefore, the injectable PGAADH/OD hydrogels demonstrated attractive properties for future applications in pharmaceutics and tissue engineering. Polysaccharides-polypeptide derived biohydrogels were formed using hydrazone chemistry as crosslinking strategy, which have controllable drug release rate and many other potential applications, especially in sustained drug delivery and cell scaffold.![]()

Abstract
Some pH-sensitive, poly(2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEMA) grafted silica nanoparticles (SNPs) (SNPs-g-PDEAEMA) were designed and synthesized via surface initiated, metal-free, photoinduced atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). The structures of the polymers formed in solution were determined by 1H NMR. The modified nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, XPS, GPC, TEM and TGA. The analytical results show that α-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) (ATRP initiator) had been successfully anchored onto SNPs' surfaces, and was followed by surface-initiated, metal-free ATRP of 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DEAEMA). The resultant SNPs-g-PDEAEMA were uniform spherical nanoparticles with the particles size of about 22-25 nm, and the graft density of PDEAEMA on SNPs' surfaces obtained by TGA was 19.98 μmol/m2. Owing to the covalent grafting of pH-sensitive PDEAEMA, SNPs-g-PDEAEMA can dispersed well in acidic aqueous solution, but poorly in neutral and alkaline aqueous solutions, which is conducive to being employed as drug carriers to construct a pH-sensitive controlled drug delivery system. In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation results showed that the cytotoxicity of SNPs-g-PDEAEMA to the L929 cells had completely disappeared on the 3rd day. The loading of quercetin on SNPs-g-PDEAEMA was performed using adsorption process from ethanol solutions, and the dialysis release rate increased sharply when the pH value of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) decreased from 7.4 to 5.5. All these results indicated that the pH-responsive microcapsules could serve as potential anti-cancer drug carriers.

Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks composed of hydrated polymer chains and have been a material of choice for many biomedical applications such as drug delivery, biosensing, and tissue engineering due to their unique biocompatibility, tunable physical characteristics, flexible methods of synthesis, and range of constituents. In many cases, methods for crosslinking polymer precursors to form hydrogels would benefit from being highly selective in order to avoid cross-reactivity with components of biological systems leading to adverse effects. Crosslinking reactions involving the thiol group (SH) offer unique opportunities to construct hydrogel materials of diverse properties under mild conditions. This article reviews and comments on thiol-mediated chemoselective and biocompatible strategies for crosslinking natural and synthetic macromolecules to form injectable hydrogels for applications in drug delivery and cell encapsulation.
