[PMID: 38390342 PMCID: PMC10882133 DOI: 10.1016/j.mtbio.2024.100998] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/17/2023] [Revised: 02/04/2024] [Accepted: 02/09/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024] Open
Abstract
In recent years, owing to the ongoing advancements in polymer materials, hydrogels have found increasing applications in the biomedical domain, notably in the realm of stimuli-responsive "smart" hydrogels. Nonetheless, conventional single-network stimuli-responsive "smart" hydrogels frequently exhibit deficiencies, including low mechanical strength, limited biocompatibility, and extended response times. In response, researchers have addressed these challenges by introducing a second network to create stimuli-responsive "smart" Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) hydrogels. The mechanical strength of the material can be significantly improved due to the topological entanglement and physical interactions within the interpenetrating structure. Simultaneously, combining different network structures enhances the biocompatibility and stimulus responsiveness of the gel, endowing it with unique properties such as cell adhesion, conductivity, hemostasis/antioxidation, and color-changing capabilities. This article primarily aims to elucidate the stimulus-inducing factors in stimuli-responsive "smart" IPN hydrogels, the impact of the gels on cell behaviors and their biomedical application range. Additionally, we also offer an in-depth exposition of their categorization, mechanisms, performance characteristics, and related aspects. This review furnishes a comprehensive assessment and outlook for the advancement of stimuli-responsive "smart" IPN hydrogels within the biomedical arena. We believe that, as the biomedical field increasingly demands novel materials featuring improved mechanical properties, robust biocompatibility, and heightened stimulus responsiveness, stimuli-responsive "smart" IPN hydrogels will hold substantial promise for wide-ranging applications in this domain.

Abstract
Recently, using oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) to build a hydrogel system on promoting healing in wounds has a fast-growing market. However, it remains a challenge to improve the degree of oxidation of regenerated cellulose (RC) and to prepare matrices that are uniquely responsive to the wound environment. Herein, highly oxidized aldehyde-based cellulose from porous RC was prepared by NaBH4-HCl swelling and then NaIO4 oxidation pathway. Chitosan (CS), ethylenediamine-cyclodextrin (EDA-CD) along with ORC have been used to construct hydrogel matrices that are pH-responsive and capable of controlled drug release for use as future wound dressings. And zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) with antimicrobial effect and ibuprofen (IBU) with analgesic effect were piggybacked into the hydrogel system. XRD was used to study the presence of ZnO. SEM was used to observe the surface structure of the prepared hydrogel. TEM was used to observe the particle size of the ZnO NPs. Meanwhile, the oxidation conditions of the ORC were explored. Furthermore, the mechanical, swelling, water retention, cytotoxicity, bacterial inhibition properties and treatment effect, which are closely related to the application of wound dressing, were carefully researched. The unique characteristics of prepared hydrogel, including pH-responsive degradability and sustained release properties of IBU, were also investigated.

Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of natural cells typically exhibits dynamic mechanical properties (viscoelasticity and dynamic stiffness). The viscoelasticity and dynamic stiffness of the ECM play a crucial role in biological processes, such as tissue growth, development, physiology, and disease. Hydrogels with viscoelasticity and dynamic stiffness have recently been used to investigate the regulation of cell behavior and fate. This article first emphasizes the importance of tissue viscoelasticity and dynamic stiffness and provides an overview of characterization techniques at both macro- and microscale. Then, the viscoelastic hydrogels (crosslinked via ion bonding, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and supramolecular interactions) and dynamic stiffness hydrogels (softening, stiffening, and reversible stiffness) with different crosslinking strategies are summarized, along with the significant impact of viscoelasticity and dynamic stiffness on cell spreading, proliferation, migration, and differentiation in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures. Finally, the emerging trends in the development of dynamic mechanical hydrogels are discussed.

Abstract
Despite significant achievements in the field of chiroptical organic materials, the full utilization of both the excited state and ground state chiroptical properties in a single supramolecular system is still rarely disclosed. Here, we report that the rational combination of the charge-transfer (CT) interaction with the spacer effect and controlled protonation of π-histidine leads to chiroptical organic π-materials with both circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and the supramolecular chirality-directed chiroptical photothermic effect. Three pyrene-conjugated histidine derivatives with varied acyl linkers (PyHis, PyC1His, and PyC3His) were designed to coassemble with electron-deficient 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB), leading to the formation of supramolecular CT complexes with intense orange to red CPL depending on the linker length. The linker length also affected the protonation-induced CPL responsiveness of the corresponding CT assemblies. Upon protonation of the histidine moiety, PyC3His/TCNB CT assemblies exhibited an inverted CPL signal, while PyHis/TCNB pairs gave quenched CPL due to the disassembly. The protonation-controlled PyC3His/TCNB CT assemblies at varied pH values showed different chiroptical photothermic effects (CPEs) for the same incident chiral light despite the molecular chirality of PyC3His remaining unchanged, supporting an interesting supramolecular chirality-directed photothermic effect.

Abstract
Recently, stimuli-responsive supramolecular gels have received significant attention because their properties can be modulated through external stimuli such as heat, light, electricity, magnetic fields, mechanical stress, pH, ions, chemicals and enzymes. Among these gels, stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels have shown promising applications in material science because of their fascinating redox, optical, electronic and magnetic properties. In this review, research progress on stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels in recent years is systematically summarized. According to external stimulus sources, stimuli-responsive supramolecular metallogels, including chemical, physical and multiple stimuli-responsive metallogels, are discussed separately. Moreover, challenges, suggestions and opportunities regarding the development of novel stimuli-responsive metallogels are presented. We believe the knowledge and inspiration gained from this review will deepen the current understanding of stimuli-responsive smart metallogels and encourage more scientists to provide valuable contributions to this topic in the coming decades.

Abstract
Outfitted with abundant hydrogen bonding and coordination active groups, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) possesses a class of naturally occurring ligands for coordination with metal ions, establishing its excellent potential for various fields. Herein, by incorporating the naturally derived CMC into a thermally reconfigurable agarose (Agar) gel medium, a novel type of metal-biopolymer coordinated double network hydrogel (DN gel) was successfully fabricated via the strong coordination interactions. The interpenetrated CMC was confirmed to retain its excellent chelating abilities within the bulk gel matrix, which resulted in a series of metal-coordinated DN gels through spontaneous self-associative complexation with metal ions such as Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Fe3+, and Cr3+. Moreover, these two types of physical cross-links are functionally independent and reversible, which enables the programming of the hydrogel with multi-functionality, including pH-regulated shape memory behavior, multi-staged self-healing properties and durable antibacterial activities. Thus, we believe that the successful preparation of such a coordination-driven DN gel will lead to the development of biopolymer-based multifunctional hydrogels, as well as provide new insight into nanocomponent assembly and soft electronic biosensing systems for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Aiming at the problem that the reported smart optical metallohydrogels were limited with poor mechanical properties, we reported here a novel smart optical metallohydrogel (Al-hydrogel) with excellent elongation, shape-memory ability, self-healing property, and controllable fluorescence intensity. The Al-hydrogel was obtained by the HHPMA-Al3+ and carboxylate-Al3+ coordination after one-pot micellar copolymerization of acrylic acid (AAc), acrylamide (AAm), and hydrophobic arylhydrazone-based ligand (HHPMA). This hydrogel was able to extend up to 5000% of its original length without fracture. Its emission intensity was tunable by OH-/H+ or Zn2+/AAc and increased by 500% with 0.1 M OH- or Zn2+. Its tunable fluorescence enabled us to repeatedly pattern it. A reversible system consisting of Fe3+/H+, was implemented to control the shape of the Al-hydrogel, endowing the Al-hydrogel with shape-memory ability. This highly stretchable and multifunctional Al-hydrogel has potential applications in information transmission, wearable devices, and flexible sensors.

Abstract
Although assembly of recombinant proteins by SpyTag/SpyCatcher chemistry has proven to be a versatile approach for creating bioactive hydrogels, the resulting Spy networks often exhibit weak mechanics due to the poor efficiency of interchain cross-linking. Here we leverage metal/ligand (i.e., cobalt/His6-tag) coordination interactions to modulate the bulk mechanics of the protein networks. The drastic difference between the Co2+ and Co3+ complexes in thermodynamic and kinetic properties enabled us to regulate the materials' properties and to immobilize and release recombinant proteins in a redox-dependent manner. The resulting hydrogels are capable of not only supporting cell growth and proliferation, but also influencing specific cell signaling via immobilized growth factors such as leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF). The integrated use of stimuli-responsive metal coordination and SpyTag/SpyCatcher chemistry opens up a new dimension for designing bioactive protein materials.

Abstract
Hydrophilic copolymers containing 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties and acrylic acid (AA) units poly (acrylic acid-co-4-(2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridin-4′-yl)styrene) (P(AA-co-TPY)) were synthesized and characterized. Coordinated with different transition metal ions, the dilute aqueous solution of the copolymers exhibited red-shifted UV-vis absorption peaks of π-π* transition from 317 to 340 nm. Further, interacting with iron ions, the copolymer showed new absorption peaks at a longer wavelength region (570 nm) and the absorption intensity enhanced with increase of the ion concentration. When enough ions were added to coordinate with the 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine moieties, novel metallo-supramolecular hydrogels were obtained due to the formation of metal coordination bonds between polymer back bones and transition metal ions (Ni2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+), which acted as self-assembly crosslinking structures. The mechanical strength and morphology of the resulting metallo-supramolecular hydrogels have been investigated.

Abstract
We reported here a new platform of supramolecular hydrogels cross-linked by the cooperation of metal-ligand coordination and hydrophobic interaction. A salicylaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone-terminal poly(ethylene glycol) (2SBH-PEG) was synthesized and formed small micelles in an aqueous environment. Addition of Ni2+ connected the low-molecular-weight 2SBH-PEG into a metallopolymer via metal-ligand coordination and led to micelle aggregation, resulting in gelation due to the enhancement of hydrophobic interaction. The forming hydrogel, Ni-PEGel, exhibited rapid self-healing ability and reversible pH-responsive property. Because of the containing metal coordination bond, it was also sensitive to the strong competing ligands, such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and pyridine. In addition, Ni-PEGel showed colorimetric changes when exposed to biogenic amine (BA) vapor. The color development of Ni-PEGel toward BAs makes it a good candidate in monitoring food spoilage.

Abstract
New fluorochromic materials that reversibly change their emission properties in response to their environment are of interest for the development of sensors and light-emitting materials. A new design of Eu-containing polymer hydrogels showing fast self-healing and tunable fluorochromic properties in response to five different stimuli, including pH, temperature, metal ions, sonication, and force, is reported. The polymer hydrogels are fabricated using Eu-iminodiacetate (IDA) coordination in a hydrophilic poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) matrix. Dynamic metal-ligand coordination allows reversible formation and disruption of hydrogel networks under various stimuli which makes hydrogels self-healable and injectable. Such hydrogels show interesting switchable ON/OFF luminescence along with the sol-gel transition through the reversible formation and dissociation of Eu-IDA complexes upon various stimuli. It is demonstrated that Eu-containing hydrogels display fast and reversible mechanochromic response as well in hydrogels having interpenetrating polymer network. Those multistimuli responsive fluorochromic hydrogels illustrate a new pathway to make smart optical materials, particularly for biological sensors where multistimuli response is required.
