Abstract
Chemotherapy is a conventional treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells; however, it may induce side effects and may be incompletely effective, leading to the risk of tumor recurrence. To address this issue, we developed novel injectable thermal/near-infrared (NIR)-responsive hydrogels to control drug release. The injectable hydrogel formulation was composed of biocompatible alginates, poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA) copolymers with an upper critical solution temperature, and NIR-responsive cross-linkers containing coumarin groups, which were gelated through bioorthogonal inverse electron demand Diels-Alder reactions. The hydrogels exhibited quick gelation times (120-800 s) and high drug loading efficiencies (>90%). The hydrogels demonstrated a higher percentage of drug release at 37 °C than that at 25 °C due to the enhanced swelling behavior of temperature-responsive PNAGA moieties. Upon NIR irradiation, the hydrogels released most of the entrapped doxorubicin (DOX) (97%) owing to the cleavage of NIR-sensitive coumarin ester groups. The hydrogels displayed biocompatibility with normal cells, while induced antitumor activity toward cancer cells. DOX/hydrogels treated with NIR light inhibited tumor growth in nude mice bearing tumors. In addition, the injected hydrogels emitted red fluorescence upon excitation at a green wavelength, so that the drug delivery and hydrogel degradation in vivo could be tracked in the xenograft model.

Abstract
This review summarizes recent progress in the synergistic design strategy for thermoresponsive polymers possessing an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in aqueous systems. To achieve precise control of the responsive behavior of the UCST polymers, their molecular design can benefit from a synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding with other interactions or modification of the chemical structures. The combination of UCST behavior with other stimuli-responsive properties of the polymers may yield new functional materials with potential applications such as sensors, actuators, and controlled release devices. The advances in this area provide insight or inspiration into the understanding and design of functional UCST polymers for a wide range of applications.

Abstract
In this study, we report the fabrication and characterization of self-healing and shape-memorable hydrogels, the mechanical properties of which can be tuned via post-polymerization crosslinking. These hydrogels were constructed from a thermo-responsive poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (NAGAm) copolymer containing N-acryloyl serine methyl ester (NASMe) units (5 mol%) that were readily synthesized via conventional radical copolymerization. This transparent and free-standing hydrogel is produced via multiple hydrogen bonds between PNAGAm chains by simply dissolving the polymer in water at a high temperature (~90 °C) and then cooling it. This hydrogel exhibited moldability and self-healing properties. The post-polymerization crosslinking of the amino acid-derived vinyl copolymer network with glutaraldehyde, which acts as a crosslinker between the hydroxy groups of the NASMe units, tuned mechanical properties such as viscoelasticity and tensile strength. The optimal crosslinker concentration efficiently improved the viscoelasticity. Moreover, these hydrogels exhibited shape fixation (~60%)/memory (~100%) behavior owing to the reversible thermo-responsiveness (upper critical solution temperature-type) of the PNAGAm units. Our multifunctional hydrogel, with moldable, self-healing, mechanical tunability via post-polymerization crosslinking, and shape-memorable properties, has considerable potential for applications in engineering and biomedical materials.

Abstract
Developing a meniscus substitute mimicking the anisotropic mechanics (higher circumferential tensile modulus and lower compressive modulus) of native tissue remains a great challenge. In this work, based on the pendant group structure-dependent H-bonding strengthening mechanism, two kinds of amide-based H-bonding crosslinked hydrogels with distinct mechanical behaviors, that is, the flexible poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA) and the ultra-stiff poly(N-acryloylsemicarbazide) (PNASC) hydrogels are employed to construct the biomimetic meniscus substitute. To this end, a gel microparticle-based self-thickening strategy is first proposed to fabricate PNASC (GMP-PNASC) high-modulus hydrogels skeleton by extrusion printing technology in mimicking the collagen fibers in native meniscus to resist the circumferential tensile stress. Then, the PNAGA hydrogel is infused into the PNASC skeleton to replicate the proteoglycan, providing a lower compressive modulus. By regulating the structural features at the interior and peripheral regions, the GMP-PNASC/PNAGA hydrogel meniscus scaffold with the higher tensile modulus (87.28 ± 6.06 MPa) and lower compressive modulus (2.11 ± 0.28 MPa) can be constructed. In vivo outcome at 12 weeks post-implantation of rabbit's medial meniscectomy model confirms the effects of GMP-PNASC/PNAGA meniscus scaffold on alleviating the wear of articular cartilage and ameliorating the development of osteoarthritis (OA).

Abstract
Biological receptor-ligand adhesion governed by mammalian cells involves a series of mechanochemical processes that can realize reversible, loading rate-dependent specific interfacial bonding, and even exhibit a counterintuitive behavior called catch bonds that tend to have much longer lifetimes when larger pulling forces are applied. Inspired by these catch bonds, we designed a hydrogen bonding-meditated hydrogel made from acrylic acid-N-acryloyl glycinamide (AA-NAGA) copolymers and tannic acids (TA), which formed repeatable specific adhesion to polar surfaces in an ultra-fast and robust way, but hardly adhered to nonpolar materials. It demonstrated up to five-fold increase in shear adhesive strength and interfacial adhesive toughness with external loading rates varying from 5 to 500 mm min−1. With a mechanochemical coupling model based on Monte Carlo simulations, we quantitatively revealed the nonlinear dependence of rate-sensitive interfacial adhesion on external loading, which was in good agreement with the experimental data. Likewise, the developed hydrogels were biocompatible, possessed antioxidant and antibacterial properties and promoted wound healing. This work not only reports a stimuli-responsive hydrogel adhesive suitable for multiple biomedical applications, but also offers an innovative strategy for bionic designs of smart hydrogels with loading rate-sensitive specific adhesion for various emerging areas including flexible electronics and soft robotics. Catch-bond inspired hydrogels (PNT hydrogels) were proposed. PNT hydrogels could realize loading-rate sensitive specific adhesion. The nonlinear dynamic responses of PNT hydrogels were quantitatively dissected. The optimized PNT-10 hydrogel was promotive in wound healing.

Abstract
Poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA) can form high-strength hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) through the dual amide motifs in the side chain, allowing the polymer to exhibit gelation behavior and an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) property. These features make PNAGA a candidate platform for biomedical devices. However, most applications focused on PNAGA hydrogels, while few focused on PNAGA nanoparticles. Improving the UCST tunability and bio-interfacial adhesion of the PNAGA nanoparticles may expand their applications in biomedical fields. To address the issues, we established a reactive H-bond-type P(NAGA-co-NAS) copolymer via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization of NAGA and N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS) monomers. The UCST behaviors and the bio-interfacial adhesion toward the proteins and cells along with the potential application of the copolymer nanoparticles were investigated in detail. Taking advantage of the enhanced H-bonding and reactivity, the copolymer exhibited a tunable UCST in a broad temperature range, showing thermo-reversible transition between nanoparticles (PNPs) and soluble chains; the PNPs efficiently bonded proteins into nano-biohybrids while keeping the secondary structure of the protein, and more importantly, they also exhibited good adhesion ability to the cell membrane and significantly inhibited cell-specific propagation. These features suggest broad prospects for the P(NAGA-co-NAS) nanoparticles in the fields of biosensors, protein delivery, cell surface decoration, and cell-specific function regulation.

Abstract
Millions of patients every year undergo gastrointestinal surgery. While often lifesaving, sutured and stapled reconnections leak in around 10% of cases. Currently, surgeons rely on the monitoring of surrogate markers and clinical symptoms, which often lack sensitivity and specificity, hence only offering late-stage detection of fully developed leaks. Here, we present a holistic solution in the form of a modular, intelligent suture support sealant patch capable of containing and detecting leaks early. The pH and/or enzyme-responsive triggerable sensing elements can be read out by point-of-need ultrasound imaging. We demonstrate reliable detection of the breaching of sutures, in as little as 3 hours in intestinal leak scenarios and 15 minutes in gastric leak conditions. This technology paves the way for next-generation suture support materials that seal and offer disambiguation in cases of anastomotic leaks based on point-of-need monitoring, without reliance on complex electronics or bulky (bio)electronic implantables.

Abstract
Polymer binders have been shown to efficiently conquer the notorious lithium polysulfide (LiPS) shuttle effects in lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries for years, but more study is needed. Herein, a water dispersible and molecular interaction regulated polymer binder (PNAVS) for Li-S batteries was elaborately designed by co-polymerizing N-acryloyl glycinamide and 3-(1-vinyl-3-imidazolio)propanesulfonate. We demonstrate that by modulating the multiple interactions between the functional groups through copolymerization the binder was able to coordinate the LiPSs with higher binding energy for shuttle effect alleviation and cycling performance improvement. In addition, the Li+ diffusion coefficient is also optimized in the PNAVS binder, which facilitates acceleration of the redox kinetics during cycling. Consequently, the PNAVS binder renders the Li-S battery with an ultrastable open circuit voltage for more than 3000 h. Even with a high sulfur loading of 11.7 mg cm-2, the battery can still exhibit excellent areal capacity of 12.21 mA h cm-2. As proof of concept, a pouch cell was also demonstrated with the stable cycling performance for 110 cycles. The binder engineering strategy in this work will propel the practical applications of high-performance batteries.

Abstract
Colloidal self-assembly refers to a solution-processed assembly of nanometer-/micrometer-sized, well-dispersed particles into secondary structures, whose collective properties are controlled by not only nanoparticle property but also the superstructure symmetry, orientation, phase, and dimension. This combination of characteristics makes colloidal superstructures highly susceptible to remote stimuli or local environmental changes, representing a prominent platform for developing stimuli-responsive materials and smart devices. Chemists are achieving even more delicate control over their active responses to various practical stimuli, setting the stage ready for fully exploiting the potential of this unique set of materials. This review addresses the assembly of colloids into stimuli-responsive or smart nanostructured materials. We first delineate the colloidal self-assembly driven by forces of different length scales. A set of concepts and equations are outlined for controlling the colloidal crystal growth, appreciating the importance of particle connectivity in creating responsive superstructures. We then present working mechanisms and practical strategies for engineering smart colloidal assemblies. The concepts underpinning separation and connectivity control are systematically introduced, allowing active tuning and precise prediction of the colloidal crystal properties in response to external stimuli. Various exciting applications of these unique materials are summarized with a specific focus on the structure-property correlation in smart materials and functional devices. We conclude this review with a summary of existing challenges in colloidal self-assembly of smart materials and provide a perspective on their further advances to the next generation.

Abstract
A prospective technology for reversible enzyme complexation accompanied with its inactivation and protection followed by reactivation after a fast thermocontrolled release has been demonstrated. A thermoresponsive polymer with upper critical solution temperature, poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA), which is soluble in water at elevated temperatures but phase separates at low temperatures, has been shown to bind lysozyme, chosen as a model enzyme, at a low temperature (10 °C and lower) but not at room temperature (around 25 °C). The cooling of the mixture of PNAGA and lysozyme solutions from room temperature resulted in the capturing of the protein and the formation of stable complexes; heating it back up was accompanied by dissolving the complexes and the release of the bound lysozyme. Captured by the polymer, lysozyme was inactive, but a temperature-mediated release from the complexes was accompanied by its reactivation. Complexation also partially protected lysozyme from proteolytic degradation by proteinase K, which is useful for biotechnological applications. The obtained results are relevant for important medicinal tasks associated with drug delivery such as the delivery and controlled release of enzyme-based drugs.

Abstract
Smart hydrogels hold much potential for biocatalysis, not only for the immobilization of enzymes, but also for the control of enzyme activity. We investigated upper critical solution temperature‐type poly N‐acryloyl glycinamide (pNAGA) hydrogels as a smart matrix for the amine transaminase from Bacillus megaterium (BmTA). Physical entrapment of BmTA in pNAGA hydrogels results in high immobilization efficiency (>89 %) and high activity (97 %). The temperature‐sensitiveness of pNAGA is preserved upon immobilization of BmTA and shows a gradual deswelling upon temperature reduction. While enzyme activity is mainly controlled by temperature, deactivation tended to be higher for immobilized BmTA (≈62–68 %) than for free BmTA (≈44 %), suggesting a deactivating effect due to deswelling of the pNAGA gel. Although the deactivation in response to hydrogel deswelling is not yet suitable for controlling enzyme activity sufficiently, it is nevertheless a good starting point for further optimization.

Abstract
Soft hydrogel materials can be applied for use in biosensors, wearable electronics, artificial skin, soft robots, and so on. Practical applications require the materials to have various properties such as high conductivity, toughness, self-healing, stretchability, and so on. However, achieving all these features in a single material remains challenging at present. Herein, the fabrication of novel composite carboxymethylcellulose/poly(acrylic acid)/polypyrrole/Al(III) (CMC/PAA/PPy/Al(III)) multifunctional hydrogels using a simple method is described. The mechanical and electrical self-healing properties are attained by multiple dynamic coordinations between Al3+ ions and carboxyl groups from CMC and PAA together with the hydrogen bonding between PPy and the -OH of CMC and/or the -COOH of PAA. The electrical conductivity is achieved by the conductive polymer PPy, free ions, and the synergistic effect between the PPy particles and the free ions. Moreover, desirable mechanical properties, such as stretchability (1344%), toughness, and mouldability are realized by establishing a balance between the chemical and physical crosslinking networks, and the nanostructure of PPy. Thus, the resultant hydrogels have potential applications in electronic skin, biomedical implants, and wearable electronic devices in the future.

Abstract
In the last decades, numerous stimuli-responsive polymers have been developed and investigated regarding their switching properties. In particular, thermoresponsive polymers, which form a miscibility gap with the ambient solvent with a lower or upper critical demixing point depending on the temperature, have been intensively studied in solution. For the application of such polymers in novel sensors, drug delivery systems or as multifunctional coatings, they typically have to be transferred into specific arrangements, such as micelles, polymer films or grafted nanoparticles. However, it turns out that the thermodynamic concept for the phase transition of free polymer chains fails, when thermoresponsive polymers are assembled into such sterically confined architectures. Whereas many published studies focus on synthetic aspects as well as individual applications of thermoresponsive polymers, the underlying structure-property relationships governing the thermoresponse of sterically constrained assemblies, are still poorly understood. Furthermore, the clear majority of publications deals with polymers that exhibit a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior, with PNIPAAM as their main representative. In contrast, for polymer arrangements with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST), there is only limited knowledge about preparation, application and precise physical understanding of the phase transition. This review article provides an overview about the current knowledge of thermoresponsive polymers with limited mobility focusing on UCST behavior and the possibilities for influencing their thermoresponsive switching characteristics. It comprises star polymers, micelles as well as polymer chains grafted to flat substrates and particulate inorganic surfaces. The elaboration of the physicochemical interplay between the architecture of the polymer assembly and the resulting thermoresponsive switching behavior will be in the foreground of this consideration.

Abstract
Natural polymeric scaffolds can be used for tissue engineering applications such as cell delivery and cell-free supporting of native tissues. This is because of their desirable properties such as; high biocompatibility, tunable mechanical strength and conductivity, large surface area, porous- and extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicked structures. Specifically, their less toxicity and biocompatibility makes them suitable for several tissue engineering applications. For these reasons, several biopolymeric scaffolds are currently being explored for numerous tissue engineering applications. To date, research on the nature, chemistry, and properties of nanocomposite biopolymers are been reported, while the need for a comprehensive research note on more tissue engineering application of these biopolymers remains. As a result, this present study comprehensively reviews the development of common natural biopolymers as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications such as cartilage tissue engineering, cornea repairs, osteochondral defect repairs, and nerve regeneration. More so, the implications of research findings for further studies are presented, while the impact of research advances on future research and other specific recommendations are added as well.

Abstract
In this study, poly(N-acryloyl-nipecotamide) (PNANAm), poly(N-acryloyl-isonipecotamide) (PNAiNAm), and poly(N-acryloyl-N,N-diethylnipecotamide) (PNADNAm) are synthesized as novel temperature-responsive polymers using reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization. Aqueous solutions of these three polymers are examined via temperature-dependent optical transmittance measurements. The PNANAm sample with a hydrophilic terminal group shows an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) when its molecular weight (Mn ) is 7600 or higher, whereas PNANAm (Mn < 7600) is soluble. The UCST is influenced by molecular weight and the polymer concentration. In contrast, PNANAm sample with nonionic terminal group shows UCST, when Mn is below 7600, suggesting that the terminal nonionic group possibly increases UCST of PNANAm. The urea addition experiment suggests that the driving force for expression of UCST of PNANAm is the formation of inter-and intramolecular hydrogen bonds among the polymer chains. PNAiNAm is soluble in PBS but exhibits an UCST in an appropriate concentration of ammonium sulfate. In contrast, PNADNAm exhibits a lower critical solution temperature. Comparing the chemical structure of these polymers and their phase transition behaviors suggests that the carboxamide group position in the piperidine ring could determine the UCST expression. These results could help design temperature-responsive polymers with a desired the cloud point temperature.

Abstract
A self-healing smart PhC hydrogel sensor that combines the optical property of photonic crystal and the dynamic regeneration property of boronate ester bond has been prepared for determination of glucose and related saccharides using Debye diffraction ring detection. The boronate ester bond formed through phenylboronic acid and dopamine endows the hydrogel network self-healing ability, and the tensile stress of the healing hydrogel can recover to 94.4%; this excellent self-healing property can effectively improve the reliability and lifetime of the hydrogel. Due to the high bonding capacity between 1,2- and 1,3-diol and phenylboronic acid, the hydrogel sensor has a good recognition ability for glucose and related saccharides. The reaction between the monosaccharides and the phenylboronic acid group makes the sensor swell and the diameter of the Debye diffraction ring decrease. The sensor shows good reuse and responsive ability for saccharides; the RSD of the recoverability assays is 4.3%. The determination range of the sensor to glucose is 0.5 to 12 mM. The sensor also has good response to glucose in urine, exhibiting potential application value in the preliminary screening of diabetes. Although the sensor has poor selectivity for specific monosaccharides, the process of measuring the Debye ring makes the determination no longer rely on expensive and complicated equipment and greatly simplifies the determining process and reduces the cost of determination, which shows a broad application prospect. The boronate ester bond formed through phenylboronic acid and dopamine results in the self-healing property of hydrogel network, which can effectively improve the reliability and lifetime of hydrogel. And due to the high bonding capacity between 1,2- and 1,3-diol and phenylboronic acid, the smart hydrogel sensor has a good recognition ability for glucose and related saccharides. The reaction between the monosaccharides and the phenylboronic acid group breaks the original boronate ester bond; this will lead to a decrease in cross-linking density of the PhC hydrogel sensor and further makes the sensor swell and the diameter of the Debye diffraction ring decrease.

Abstract
Serve side effects caused by discriminate damage of chemotherapeutic drugs to normal cell and cancer cells remain a main obstacle in clinic. Hence, continuous efforts have been made to find ways to effectively enhance drug delivery and reduce side effects. Recent decades have witnessed impressive progresses in fighting against cancer, with improved understanding of tumor microenvironment and rapid development in nanoscale drug delivery system (DDS). Nanocarriers based on biocompatible materials provide possibilities to improve antitumor efficiency and minimize off-target effects. Among all kinds of biocompatible materials applied in DDS, polymeric acrylic derivatives such as poly(acrylamide), poly(acrylic acid), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) present inherent biocompatibility and stimuli-responsivity, and relatively easy to be functionalized. Furthermore, nanocarrier based on polymeric acrylic derivatives have demonstrated high drug encapsulation, improved uptake efficiency, prolonged circulation time and satisfactory therapeutic outcome in tumor. In this review, we aim to discuss recent progress in design and development of stimulus-responsive poly acrylic polymer based nanocarriers for tumor targeting drug delivery.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive polymers that possess both UCST- and LCST-like behaviors have generally been designed using diblock copolymers that are mostly composed of an LCST-like polymer and a UCST polymer. Herein, we prepared an LCST-UCST-type polymer composed of UCST-like thermoresponsive zwitterionic sulfabetaine methacrylate and nonthermoresponsive PEG methacrylate, ZB-PEG, by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization. By adjusting the PEG composition, ZB-PEG formed a mesoglobule, a microglobule, and the dissociated states in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). These states were found to be reversible via temperature control. Moreover, this behavior showed high reversibility and succeeded in stabilizing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the dilute condition. Such thermoresponsive ZB-PEG can be applied over a wide range of applications in biotechnology and other fields.

Abstract
Poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) is a well-known thermoresponsive polymer possessing an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in water. By copolymerizing N-acryloyl glycinamide (NAGA) with methacrylic acid (MAA) in the presence of a crosslinker, poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide-co-methacrylic acid) [P(NAGA-MAA)] copolymer microgels with an MAA molar fraction of 10-70 mol % were obtained. The polymerization kinetics suggests that the copolymer microgels have a random structure. The size of the microgels was between 60 and 120 nm in the non-aggregated swollen state in aqueous medium and depending on the solvent conditions, they show reversible swelling and shrinking upon temperature change. Their phase transition behavior was studied by a combination of methods to understand the process of the UCST-type behavior and interactions between NAGA and MAA. P(NAGA-MAA) microgels were loaded with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by the reduction of AgNO3 under UV light. Compared with the chemical reduction of AgNO3, the photoreduction results in smaller AgNPs and the amount and size of the AgNPs are dependent on the comonomer ratio. The catalytic activity of the AgNP-loaded microgels in 4-nitrophenol reduction was tested.

Abstract
Thermoresponsive hydrogel-based actuators are highly important for fundamental research and industrial applications, while the preparation of temperature-driven bilayer hydrogel actuators with rapid response to bend and recover properties remains a challenge. To date, most temperature-driven bilayer hydrogel actuators are based on polymers only with a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) or with an upper critical solution temperature (UCST), which need more time to bend and recover just in a small range of bending angle. Herein, we propose a new strategy to design and synthesize a fully temperature-driven bilayer hydrogel actuator, which consists of a poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (NAGA) layer with a UCST-type volume phase change and a poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide) (NIPAM)-Laponite nanocomposite layer with an LCST-type volume phase change. Due to the complementary UCST and LCST behavior of the two selected polymers, both layers have opposite thermoresponsive swelling and shrinkage properties at low and high temperatures; this imbues the hydrogel actuator with rapid thermoresponsive bending and recovery ability, as well as a large bending angle. In addition, the incorporation of Laponite nanosheets in PNIPAM layer not only improves the mechanical property of actuators but also provides the excellent bonding ability of the two-layer interface, which prevents delamination caused by excessive local stress on the interface during the bending process. Thanks to high-performance behavior, the actuator can act as an effective and sensitive actuator, such as a gripper to capture, transport, and release an object, or as an electrical circuit switch to turn on and off a light-emitting diode (LED). Overall, such hydrogel actuator may provide new insights for the design and fabrication of artificial intelligence materials.

Abstract
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) encompasses the field of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive molecules to successfully guide the growth and repair of bone tissue. Current BTE strategies rely on delivering osteogenic molecules or cells via scaffolding materials. However, growth factor- and stem cell-based treatments have several limitations, such as source restriction, low stability, difficulties in predicting long-term efficacy, and high costs, among others. These issues have promoted the development of material-based therapy with properties of accessibility, high stability, tunable efficacy, and low-cost production. Hydrogels are widely used in BTE applications because of their unique hydrophilic nature and tunable physicochemical properties to mimic the native bone environment. However, current hydrogel materials are not ideal candidates due to minimal osteogenic capability on their own. Therefore, recent studies of BTE hydrogels attempt to counterbalance these issues by modifying their biophysical properties. In this article, we review recent progress in the design of hydrogels to instruct osteogenic potential, and present strategies developed to precisely control its bone healing properties.

Abstract
The rate of adoption of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is increasing rapidly, due to the procedure being less invasive. However, TAVI still faces problems relating to durability, the potential incidence of thrombosis, and the inconvenience of storage in glutaraldehyde (Glut) solution. In this work, a tough hydrogel poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) (pNAGA) is hybridized with Glut-crosslinked porcine pericardium (Glut-PP) via in situ polymerization and glycerolization, so as to obtain dry leafet material for the fabrication of a pre-mounted bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV). The tensile strength, anti-shearing, and anti-tearing properties of the valve are significantly improved by the process of hydrogel hybridization. Following a period of dry-state compression as a simulation for the crimping process of pre-mounted TAV, pNAGA/Glut-PP showed full recovery without structural damage when fully rehydrated. The introduction of pNAGA also improved the blood compatibility of the tissue, with less clot formation and fewer blood cells adhering to the surface of pNAGA/Glut-PP than is found with Glut-PP. Subcutaneous implantation in rats showed that pNAGA/Glut-PP induced a decreased inflammatory response compared with Glut-PP. These results indicate that the strategy for hybridization with hydrogel could be a potential method for preparing pre-mounted TAVs with an improved performance.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) irradiation responsive drug delivery systems have many advantages, which have attracted extensive interest from researchers. In this study, a NIR-triggered drug release system was established by grafting upper critical solution temperature (UCST) polymers on the surface of hollow mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HMSNs) followed by treatment with the photothermal conversion agent indocyanine green (ICG). The as-prepared UCST polymers showed the clearing temperature of 45 °C, which were advantageous to serve as gatekeepers in the physiological environment (37 °C). Under NIR irradiation, the temperature of the solution was elevated above the clearing point due to the presence of ICG; consequently, the collapsed UCST polymer chains became more hydrophilic; this resulted in the exposure of the mesoporous channels of the HMSNs and achievement of a burst drug release. Moreover, this NIR-responsive delivery system showed good biocompatibility and high anticancer efficiency towards the MCF-7 cancer cells upon exposure to NIR irradiation. In addition, a synergistic effect of thermal and chemo treatment has been achieved by the application of NIR irradiation since cancer cells are more vulnerable to high temperatures than normal cells.

Abstract
Biomacromolecules with poor mechanical properties cannot satisfy the stringent requirement for load-bearing as bioscaffolds. Herein, a biodegradable high-strength supramolecular polymer strengthened hydrogel composed of cleavable poly(N-acryloyl 2-glycine) (PACG) and methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) (PACG-GelMA) is successfully constructed by photo-initiated polymerization. Introducing hydrogen bond-strengthened PACG contributes to a significant increase in the mechanical strengths of gelatin hydrogel with a high tensile strength (up to 1.1 MPa), outstanding compressive strength (up to 12.4 MPa), large Young's modulus (up to 320 kPa), and high compression modulus (up to 837 kPa). In turn, the GelMA chemical crosslinking could stabilize the temporary PACG network, showing tunable biodegradability by adjusting ACG/GelMA ratios. Further, a biohybrid gradient scaffold consisting of top layer of PACG-GelMA hydrogel-Mn2+ and bottom layer of PACG-GelMA hydrogel-bioactive glass is fabricated for repair of osteochondral defects by a 3D printing technique. In vitro biological experiments demonstrate that the biohybrid gradient hydrogel scaffold not only supports cell attachment and spreading but also enhances gene expression of chondrogenic-related and osteogenic-related differentiation of human bone marrow stem cells. Around 12 weeks after in vivo implantation, the biohybrid gradient hydrogel scaffold significantly facilitates concurrent regeneration of cartilage and subchondral bone in a rat model.

Abstract
In the presence of water, poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) homopolymers form highly swollen hydrogels that undergo fast and reversible gel↔sol transitions on heating. According to the literature, the transition temperature depends on concentration and average molecular weight, and in the case of copolymers, composition and hydrophilic/hydrophobic character. In this article, we wish to introduce new copolymers made by free radical polymerization of mixtures of N-acryloyl glycinamide and of its analog optically active N-acryloyl l-alaninamide in various proportions. The N-acryloyl l-alaninamide monomer was selected in attempts to introduce hydrophobicity and chirality in addition to thermo-responsiveness of the Upper Critical Solubilization Temperature-type. The characterization of the resulting copolymers included solubility in solvents, dynamic viscosity in solution, Fourrier Transform Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, and Circular Dichroism spectra. Gel→sol transition temperatures were determined in phosphate buffer (pH = 7.4, isotonic to 320 mOsm/dm³). The release characteristics of hydrophilic Methylene Blue and hydrophobic Risperidone entrapped in poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide) and in two copolymers containing 50 and 75% of alanine-based units, respectively, were compared. It was found that increasing the content in N-acryloyl-alaninamide-based units increased the gel→sol transition temperature, decreased the gel consistency, and increased the release rate of Risperidone, but not that of Methylene Blue, with respect to homo poly(N-acryloyl glycinamide). The increase observed in the case of Risperidone appeared to be related to the hydrophobicity generated by alanine residues.
