Abstract
Liquid crystals are considered to be the fourth state of matter with an intermediate order and fluidity in comparison to solids and liquids. Calixarenes are among one of the most versatile families of building blocks for supramolecular chemistry due to their unique vaselike structure that can be chemically engineered to have different shapes and sizes. During the last few decades, calixarenes have drawn much attention in the field of supramolecular chemistry due to their diverse applications in the fields of ion and molecular recognition, ion-selective electrodes for catalysis, drug delivery, gelation, organic electronics and sensors, etc. Imbuing liquid crystallinity to the calixarene framework leads to functionalized calixarene derivatives with fluidity and order. Columnar self-assembly of such derivatives in particular enhance the charge migration along the column due to the 1D stacking due to the enhanced π-π overlap. Considering limited reports and reviews on this new class of calixarene based liquid crystals, a comprehensive account of the synthesis of calixarene liquid crystals along with their mesomorphic behavior and potential applications are presented in this review.

Abstract
Development of artificial biomaterials by mimicking extracellular matrix of bone tissue is a promising strategy for bone regeneration. Hydrogel has emerged as a type of viable substitute, but its inhomogeneous networks and weak mechanics greatly impede clinical applications. Here, a dual crosslinked gelling system is developed with tunable architectures and mechanics to promote osteogenic capacity. Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) is designated as a rigid core surrounded by six disulfide-linked PEG shells and two 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) groups. Thiol-disulfide exchange is employed to fabricate chemical network because of the pH-responsive "on/off" function. While self-complementary UPy motif is capable of optimizing local microstructure to enhance mechanical properties. Taking the merits of biocompatibility and high-mechanics in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) proliferation, attachment, and osteogenesis, hybrid hydrogel exhibits outstanding osteogenic potential both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, it is the first time that a key epigenetic regulator of ten-eleven translocation 2 (Tet2) is discovered to significantly elevate the continuously active the WNT/β-catenin through Tet2/HDAC1/E-cadherin/β-catenin signaling cascade, thereby promoting PDLSCs osteogenesis. This work represents a general strategy to design the hydrogels with customized networks and biomimetic mechanics, and illustrates underlying osteogenic mechanisms that will extend the design rationales for high-functional biomaterials in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bone defects, as one of the most urgent problems in the orthopedic clinic, have attracted much attention from the biomedical community and society. Hydrogels have been widely used in the biomedical field for tissue engineering research because of their excellent hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and degradability. Stimulus-responsive hydrogels, as a new type of smart biomaterial, have more advantages in sensing external physical (light, temperature, pressure, electric field, magnetic field, etc.), chemical (pH, redox reaction, ions, etc.), biochemical (glucose, enzymes, etc.) and other different stimuli. They can respond to stimuli such as the characteristics of the 3D shape and solid-liquid phase state, and exhibit special properties (injection ability, self-repair, shape memory, etc.), thus becoming an ideal material to provide cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, and achieve precise bone defect repair. This review is focused on the classification, design concepts, and research progress of stimulus-responsive hydrogels based on different types of external environmental stimuli, aiming at introducing new ideas and methods for repairing complex bone defects.

Abstract
Functional materials that can recognize the tumor microenvironment, characterized by acidic or reducing conditions, are needed for the designing of drug delivery carriers for cancer treatment. Hydrogels are potential protein drug carriers because they contain a large amount of water and stimuli-responsive functions can easily be introduced in them. However, it is difficult to introduce multi-stimuli-responsive functions and degradability at the same time. Here, we synthesized thermo- and pH-responsive hydrogels via a coupling reaction between poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDE) and cystamine (CA). The prepared hydrogels showed lower critical solution temperature-type thermoresponsive behavior and pH-responsive swelling changes due to the protonation of secondary and/or tertiary amino groups arising from the crosslinking agent CA. Under reducing conditions, the hydrogels were degraded via the thiol exchange reaction in the presence of dithiothreitol or glutathione. The loading and release properties of FITC-labeled model proteins from the hydrogels were investigated. The loaded amount of the protein increased with decreasing molecular weight or hydrodynamic radius, which is based on the size of the network structure of the hydrogels. Notably, loaded proteins in the hydrogels were released only under reducing conditions, which mimic the tumor microenvironment. Thus, the prepared multi-responsive degradable hydrogels are expected to be used as functional drug delivery carriers for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Dynamic biochemical and biophysical signals of cellular matrix define and regulate tissue-specific cell functions and fate. To recapitulate this complex environment in vitro, biomaterials based on structural- or degradation-tunable polymers have emerged as powerful platforms for regulating the "on-demand" cell-material dynamic interplay. As one of the most prevalent photoswitch molecules, the photoisomerization of azobenzene demonstrates a unique advantage in the construction of dynamic substrates. Moreover, the development of azobenzene-containing biomaterials is particularly helpful in elucidating cells that adapt to a dynamic microenvironment or integrate spatiotemporal variations of signals. Herein, this minireview, places emphasis on the research progress of azobenzene photoswitches in the dynamic regulation of matrix signals. Some techniques and material design methods have been discussed to provide some theoretical guidance for the rational and efficient design of azopolymer-based material platforms. In addition, considering that the UV-light response of traditional azobenzene photoswitches is not conducive to biological applications, we have summarized the recent approaches to red-shifting the light wavelength for azobenzene activation.

Abstract
Traditional strategies of bone repair include autografts, allografts and surgical reconstructions, but they may bring about potential hazard of donor site morbidity, rejection, risk of disease transmission and repetitive surgery. Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a multidisciplinary field that offers promising substitutes in biopharmaceutical applications, and chitosan (CS)-based bone reconstructions can be a potential candidate in regenerative tissue fields owing to its low immunogenicity, biodegradability, bioresorbable features, low-cost and economic nature. Formulations of CS-based injectable hydrogels with thermo/pH-response are advantageous in terms of their high-water imbibing capability, minimal invasiveness, porous networks, and ability to mold perfectly into an irregular defect. Additionally, CS combined with other naturally-derived or synthetic polymers and bioactive agents has proven to be an effective alternative to autologous bone and dental grafts. In this review, we will highlight the current progress in the development of preparation methods, physicochemical properties and applications of CS-based injectable hydrogels and their perspectives in bone and dental regeneration. We believe this review is intended as starting point and inspiration for future research effort to develop the next generation of tissue-engineering scaffold materials.

Abstract
Much attention has been paid to construct photoresponsive host-guest supramolecular gels; however, red-shifting the responsive wavelength remains a formidable challenge. Here, a wholly visible-light-responsive supramolecular gel was fabricated through the host-guest interaction between a β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) dimer and a tetra-ortho-methoxy-substituted azobenzene (mAzo) dimer (binary gelator) in DMSO/H2O (V/V = 8/2). The minimum gelation concentration of the low-molecular-weight binary gelator was 6 wt % measured via the tube inversion method. The substituted methoxy groups shifted the responsive wavelengths of trans-mAzo and cis-mAzo to the green and blue light regions, respectively. The host-guest interaction between mAzo and β-CD as the driving force for gelation was confirmed using the 1H-NMR and 2D 1H NOESY spectra. The supramolecular gel showed good self-supporting ability with a storage modulus higher than 104 Pa. The release of Rhodamine B loaded in the gel as a model drug could be controlled by green light irradiation. We envisioned the potential applications of the wholly visible-light-responsive supramolecular compounds ranging from biomedical materials to smart materials.

Abstract
Intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration is associated with most cases of cervical and lumbar spine pathologies, amongst which chronic low back pain has become the primary cause for loss of quality-adjusted life years. Biomaterials science and tissue engineering have made significant progress in the replacement, repair and regeneration of IVD tissue, wherein hydrogel has been recognized as an ideal biomaterial to promote IVD regeneration in recent years. Aspects such as ease of use, mechanical properties, regenerative capacity, and their applicability as carriers for regenerative and anti-degenerative factors determine their suitability for IVD regeneration. This current review provides an overview of naturally derived and synthetic hydrogels that are related to their clinical applications for IVD regeneration. Although each type has its own unique advantages, it rarely becomes a standard product in truly clinical practice, and a more rational design is proposed for future use of biomaterials for IVD regeneration. This review aims to provide a starting point and inspiration for future research work on development of novel biomaterials and biotechnology.

Abstract
Pharmacotherapy for hypercalcemia, which is mainly caused by osteoporosis, is an effective method to regulate the in vivo calcium equilibrium. From this perspective, the development of a minimally invasive gelling system for the prolonged local delivery of bisphosphonates has practical significance in the clinical therapy of bone osteoporosis. Here, a biocompatible and injectable hydrogel based on a uniform tetra-PEG network carrying a PEG-modified alendronate (ALN) prodrug for the localized elution and long-term sustained release of anti-osteoporotic small molecule drugs is reported. The obtained ALN-based tetra-PEG hydrogels exhibit rapid gel formation and excellent injectability, thereby allowing for the easy injection and consequent adaptation of hydrogels into the bone defects with irregular shapes, which promotes the ALN-based tetra-PEG hydrogels with depot formulation capacity for governing the on-demand release of ALN drugs and local reinforcement of bone osteoporosis at the implantation sites of animals. The findings imply that these injectable hydrogels mediate the optimized release of therapeutic cargoes and effectively promote in situ bone regeneration via minimally invasive procedures, which is effective for clinical osteoporosis therapy.

Abstract
New self-assembled hydrogel materials of poly(vinyl alcohol)/cyclodextrin-modified poly(acrylic acid)/azobenzene-modified poly(acrylic acid) (PVA/PAA-CD/PAA-Azo) were successfully prepared via host-guest interactions and hydrogen bonds. The as-prepared hydrogel materials were characterized by various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet spectroscopy, and specific surface area tests. The prepared hydrogels with different concentrations of PVA exhibited different network structures. In addition, ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation and temperature change induce a gel-sol phase transition in the hydrogel materials. The obtained hydrogel materials could be used as good adsorbents for two model organic dye molecules, which was mainly due to electrostatic interactions between methylene blue/rhodamine B (MB/RhB) and the gels in the adsorption process. In particular, the adsorption processes of the as-prepared hydrogel materials conformed to the pseudo-first-order model with a high correlation coefficient, which indicates that gel has a potential application in the field of wastewater purification.

Abstract
Amphiphilic polymers can self-assemble into various nanostructures in solution, which can find applications in many fields such as nanotechnology, drug delivery, and template synthesis. Herein, we report the controlled self-assembly and dual stimuli-responsive nanostructure transition of a class of three-arm branched amphiphilic polymers (AzoFcPEO) containing ferrocene (Fc) and azobenzene (Azo) moieties in aqueous solution. These amphiphilic polymers were synthesized by an esterification reaction of a variety of polyethylene oxide methyl ethers (Me-PEO) with 3-(6-ferrocenyhexyloxyl)-5-(6-azobenzenehexyloxy) benzoic acid. Both the isomerization of Azo and redox of Fc moieties can respectively change the amphiphilicity of these polymers to different degrees. Consequently, these amphiphilic polymers in aqueous solution can self-assemble into various nanostructures, such as spherical micelle, worm-like micelle, spherical compound micelle, rod-like compound micelle and vesicle dependent on the PEO molecular weight, applied stimuli, and polymer concentration. This work can offer tremendous possibilities not only for the fundamental science of the controlled self-assembly but also for establishing a suitable method for regulating the nanostructures of amphiphilic polymers in aqueous solution.

Abstract
Traditional intravenous chemotherapy is relative to many systemic side effects, including myelosuppression, liver or kidney dysfunction, and neurotoxicity. As an alternative method, the injectable hydrogel can efficiently avoid these problems by releasing drugs topically at the tumor site. With advantages of localized drug toxicity in the tumor site, proper injectable hydrogel as the drug delivery system has become a research hotspot. Based on different types and stages of cancer, a variety of hydrogel drug delivery systems were developed, including thermosensitive, pH-sensitive, photosensitive, and dual-sensitive hydrogel. In this review, the latest developments of these hydrogels and related drug delivery systems were summarized. In summary, our increasing knowledge of injectable hydrogel for localized cancer therapy ensures us that it is a more durable and effective approach than traditional chemotherapy. Smart release system reacting to different stimuli at different time according to the micro-environment changes in the tumor site is a promising tendency for further studies.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels are a class of self-assembled network structures formed via non-covalent interactions of the hydrogelators. These hydrogels capable of responding to external stimuli are considered to be smart materials due to their ability to undergo sol-gel and/or gel-sol transition upon subtle changes in their surroundings. Such stimuli-responsive hydrogels are intriguing biomaterials with applications in tissue engineering, delivery of cells and drugs, modulating tissue environment to promote innate tissue repair, and imaging for medical diagnostics among others. This review summarizes the recent developments in stimuli-responsive supramolecular hydrogels and their potential applications in regenerative medicine. Specifically, various structural aspects of supramolecular hydrogelators involved in self-assembly, the role of external stimuli in tuning/controlling their phase transitions, and how these functions could be harnessed to advance applications in regenerative medicine are focused on. Finally, the key challenges and future prospects for these versatile materials are briefly described.

Abstract
Self-assembly of block copolymers is a significant area of polymer science. The self-assembly of completely water-soluble block copolymers is of particular interest, albeit a challenging task. In the present work the self-assembly of a linear-brush architecture block copolymer, namely poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-b-poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate) (PVP-b-POEGMA), in water is studied. Moreover, the assembled structures are crosslinked via α-CD host/guest complexation in a supramolecular way. The crosslinking shifts the equilibrium toward aggregate formation without switching off the dynamic equilibrium of double hydrophilic block copolymer (DHBC). As a consequence, the self-assembly efficiency is improved without extinguishing the unique DHBC self-assembly behavior. In addition, decrosslinking could be induced without a change in concentration by adding a competing complexation agent for α-CD. The self-assembly behavior was followed by DLS measurement, while the presence of the particles could be observed via cryo-TEM before and after crosslinking. Self-assembly of the double hydrophilic block copolymer poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-b-poly(oligoethylene glycol methacrylate) and supramolecular crosslinking via α-cyclodextrin in water is presented.![]()

Abstract
Controlling the physical properties of soft materials with external stimuli enables researchers to mimic and study dynamic systems. Of particular interest are hydrogels, polymer networks swollen by water with broad applicability to biomedicine. To control hydrogel mechanics with light, researchers have relied on a limited number of photochemical reactions. Here we introduce an approach to reversibly tune hydrogel mechanics with light by manipulating the stability of dynamic covalent crosslinks at the molecular level. The equilibrium between a boronic acid and diol to form a boronic ester can be altered by the configuration of an adjacent azobenzene photoswitch. By irradiating branched polymers bearing azobenzene-boronic acid and diol end groups with two different wavelengths of light, we can stiffen or soften the resulting hydrogel. Alternating irradiation induces reversible mechanical changes. Rheological characterization reveals that the hydrogels are viscoelastic, exhibiting stress relaxation on the order of seconds, and the stiffness is tuned independently of the crossover frequency. We have also demonstrated that this approach can be extended to use visible light for both softening and stiffening. These photocontrolled dynamic covalent crosslinks provide a versatile platform for tunable dynamic materials.

Abstract
It is still a challenge to achieve both excellent mechanical strength and biocompatibility in hydrogels. In this study, we exploited two interactions to form a novel biocompatible, slicing-resistant, and self-healing hydrogel. The first was molecular host-guest recognition between a host (isocyanatoethyl acrylate modified β-cyclodextrin) and a guest (2-(2-(2-(2-(adamantyl-1-oxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol acrylate) to form "three-arm" host-guest supramolecules (HGSMs), and the second was covalent bonding between HGSMs (achieved by UV-initiated polymerization) to form strong cross-links in the hydrogel. The host-guest interaction enabled the hydrogel to rapidly self-heal. When it was cut, fresh surfaces were formed with dangling host and guest molecules (due to the breaking of host-guest recognition), which rapidly recognized each other again to heal the hydrogel by recombination of the cut surfaces. The smart hydrogels hold promise for use as biomaterials for soft-tissue repair.

Abstract
In this work, we developed a new class of branched polyrotaxane hydrogel made of 4-arm polyethylene glycol (4-PEG) and α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) using supramolecular host-guest interactions as a cross-linking strategy. Because of the dynamic nature of the non-covalent host-guest cross-linking, the resulting supramolecular α-CD/4-PEG hydrogels show thixotropic behavior and undergo a reversible gel-sol transition in response to shear stress change. We loaded the antiglaucoma drug brimonidine into the α-CD/4-PEG gel and found the drug release kinetics was controlled by shear stress. This thixotropic shear thinning property makes the supramolecular hydrogels highly attractive in drug delivery applications and suitable for preparation of injectable drug formulations.

Abstract
Constructing dual or multiple noncovalent crosslinks is highly effective to improve the mechanical and stimuli-responsive properties of supramolecular physical hydrogels, due to the synergistic effects of different noncovalent bonds. Herein, a series of tough physical hydrogels are prepared by solution casting and subsequently swelling the films of poly(ureidopyrimidone methacrylate-co-stearyl acrylate-co-acrylic acid). The hydrophobic interactions between crystallizable alkyl chains and the quadruple hydrogen bonds between ureidopyrimidone (UPy) motifs serve as the dual crosslinks of hydrogels. Synergistic effects between the hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds render the hydrogels excellent mechanical properties, with tensile breaking stress up to 4.6 MPa and breaking strain up to 680%. The UPy motifs promote the crystallization of alkyl chains and the hydrophobic alkyl chains also stabilize UPy-UPy hydrogen bonding. The resultant hydrogels are responsive to multiple external stimuli, such as temperature, pH, and ion; therefore, they show the thermal-induced dual and metal ion-induced triple shape memory behaviors.

Abstract
This review provides an overview of the syntheses of photosensitive layer-by-layer (LbL) films and microcapsules modified with azobenzene derivatives and their biomedical applications. Photosensitive LbL films and microcapsules can be prepared by alternate deposition of azobenzene-bearing polymers and counter polymers on the surface of flat substrates and microparticles, respectively. Azobenzene residues in the films and microcapsules exhibit trans-to-cis photoisomerization under UV light, which causes changes in the physical or chemical properties of the LbL assemblies. Therefore, azobenzene-functionalized LbL films and microcapsules have been used for the construction of photosensitive biomedical devices. For instance, cell adhesion on the surface of a solid can be controlled by UV light irradiation by coating the surface with azobenzene-containing LbL films. In another example, the ion permeability of porous materials coated with LbL films can be regulated by UV light irradiation. Furthermore, azobenzene-containing LbL films and microcapsules have been used as carriers for drug delivery systems sensitive to light. UV light irradiation triggers permeability changes in the LbL films and/or decomposition of the microcapsules, which results in the release of encapsulated drugs and proteins.
