Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease in the elderly population and its substantial morbidity and disability impose a heavy economic burden on patients and society. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is the most common subtype of OA, which is characterized by damage to progressive articular cartilage, synovitis, and subchondral bone sclerosis. Most current treatments for OA are palliative, primarily aim at symptom management, and do not prevent the progression of the disease or restore degraded cartilage. The activation of α-granules in platelets releases various growth factors that are involved in multiple stages of tissue repair, suggesting potential for disease modification. In recent years, platelet-based therapies, such as platelet-rich plasma, platelet-rich fibrin, and platelet lysates, have emerged as promising regenerative treatments for KOA, but their related effects and mechanisms are still unclear. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the biological characteristics and functions of platelets, classify the products of platelet-based therapy and related preparation methods. Moreover, we summarize the basic research of platelet-based regeneration strategies for KOA and discuss the cellular effects and molecular mechanisms. Further, we describe the general clinical application of platelet-based therapy in the treatment of KOA and the results of the meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
We previously found that modified citrus pectin (MCP), an inhibitor of pro-inflammatory factor Galectin-3 (Gal-3), has significant anti-inflammatory and chondroprotective effects. In this study, a hyaluronate (HA) gel-based sustained release system of MCP (MCP-HA) was developed as an anti-inflammatory agent for chronic inflammation for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment. The MCP-HA gel was injected into the knee joint cavities of OA rabbit models induced by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) or modified Hulth method once a week for five weeks. We found that MCP-HA could improve the symptoms and signs of OA, protect articular cartilage from degeneration, suppress synovial inflammation, and therefore alleviate OA progression. Proteomic analysis of the synovial fluid obtained from the knee joints of OA rabbits revealed that MCP-HA synergistically regulated the levels of multiple inflammatory mediators and proteins involved in metabolic pathways. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the MCP-HA shows a synergistic effect of HA and MCP by modulating both inflammation and metabolic processes, thereby alleviating OA progression. The MCP-HA sustained release system has promising potential for long-term use in OA treatment.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative bone and joint disease characterized by decreased cartilage lubrication, leading to continuous wear and ultimately irreversible damage. This situation is particularly challenging for early-stage OA, as current bio-lubricants lack precise targeting for small inflammatory lesions. In this work, an antibody-mediated targeting hydrogel microspheres (HMS) is developed to precisely lubricate the local injury site of cartilage and prevent the progression of early OA. Anti-Collagen type I (Anti-Col1) is an antibody that targets cartilage injury sites in early OA stages. It is anchored on a HMS matrix made of Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) and poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate) (PSBMA) to create targeted HMS (T-G/S HMS). The T-G/S HMS's high hydrophilicity, along with the dynamic interaction between its surficial Anti-Col1 and the Col1 on cartilage injury site, ensures its precise and effective lubrication of early OA lesions. Consequently, injecting T-G/S HMS into rats with early OA significantly slows disease progression and reduces symptoms. In conclusion, the developed injectable targeted lubricating HMS and the precisely targeted lubrication strategy represent a promising, convenient technique for treating OA, particularly for slowing the early-stage OA progression.

Injectable hydrogel encapsulating siMMP13 with anti-ROS and anti-apoptotic functions for osteoarthritis treatment. J Nanobiotechnology 2024; 22:466. [PMID: 39095867 PMCID: PMC11297633 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02740-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/24/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of articular cartilage, leading to pain, stiffness, and loss of joint function. The pathogenesis of OA involves multiple factors, including increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), enhanced chondrocyte apoptosis, and disturbances in cartilage matrix metabolism. These processes contribute to the breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the loss of cartilage integrity, ultimately resulting in joint damage and dysfunction. RNA interference (RNAi) therapy has emerged as a promising approach for the treatment of various diseases, including hATTR and acute hepatic porphyria. By harnessing the natural cellular machinery for gene silencing, RNAi allows for the specific inhibition of target genes involved in disease pathogenesis. In the context of OA, targeting key molecules such as matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP13), which plays a critical role in cartilage degradation, holds great therapeutic potential. RESULTS In this study, we developed an innovative therapeutic approach for OA using a combination of liposome-encapsulated siMMP13 and NG-Monomethyl-L-arginine Acetate (L-NMMA) to form an injectable hydrogel. The hydrogel served as a delivery vehicle for the siMMP13, allowing for sustained release and targeted delivery to the affected joint. Experiments conducted on destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) model mice demonstrated the therapeutic efficacy of this composite hydrogel. Treatment with the hydrogel significantly inhibited the degradation of cartilage matrix, as evidenced by histological analysis showing preserved cartilage structure and reduced loss of proteoglycans. Moreover, the hydrogel effectively suppressed intracellular ROS accumulation in chondrocytes, indicating its anti-oxidative properties. Furthermore, it attenuated chondrocyte apoptosis, as demonstrated by decreased levels of apoptotic markers. CONCLUSION In summary, the injectable hydrogel containing siMMP13, endowed with anti-ROS and anti-apoptotic properties, may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for osteoarthritis in the future.

Abstract
The synergy between hyaluronic acid (HA) and lipid molecules plays a crucial role in synovial fluids, cell coatings, etc. Diseased cells in cancer and arthritis show changes in HA concentration and chain size, impacting the viscoelastic and mechanical properties of the cells. Although the solution behavior of HA is known in experiments, a molecular-level understanding of the role of HA in the dynamics at the interface of HA-water and the cellular boundary is lacking. Here, we perform atomistic molecular dynamics simulation of short HA chains in an explicit water solvent in the presence of a DPPC bilayer, relevant in pathological cases. We identify a stable interface between HA-water and the bilayer where the water molecules are in contact with the bilayer and the HA chains are located away without any direct contact. Both translation and rotation of the interfacial waters in contact with the lipid bilayer and translation of the HA chains exhibit subdiffusive behavior. The diffusive behavior sets in slightly away from the bilayer, where the diffusion coefficients of water and HA decrease monotonically with increase in HA concentration. On the contrary, the dependence on HA chain size is only marginal due to enhanced chain flexibility as their size increases.

Abstract
Lubricin, an intrinsically disordered glycoprotein, plays a pivotal role in facilitating smooth movement and ensuring the enduring functionality of synovial joints. The central domain of this protein serves as a source of this excellent lubrication and is characterized by its highly glycosylated, negatively charged, and disordered structure. However, the influence of O-glycans on the viscosity of lubricin remains unclear. In this study, we employ molecular dynamics simulations in the absence and presence of shear, along with continuum simulations, to elucidate the intricate interplay between O-glycans and lubricin and the impact of O-glycans on lubricin's conformational properties and viscosity. We found the presence of O-glycans to induce a more extended conformation in fragments of the disordered region of lubricin. These O-glycans contribute to a reduction in solution viscosity but at the same time weaken shear thinning at high shear rates, compared to nonglycosylated systems with the same density. This effect is attributed to the steric and electrostatic repulsion between the fragments, which prevents their conglomeration and structuring. Our computational study yields a mechanistic mechanism underlying previous experimental observations of lubricin and paves the way to a more rational understanding of its function in the synovial fluid.

Abstract
Joint kinematic instability, arising from congenital or acquired musculoskeletal pathoanatomy or from imbalances in anabolism and catabolism induced by pathophysiological factors, leads to deterioration of the composition, structure and function of cartilage and, ultimately, progression to osteoarthritis (OA). Alongside articular cartilage degeneration, synovial fluid lubricity decreases in OA owing to a reduction in the concentration and molecular weight of hyaluronic acid and surface-active mucinous glycoproteins that form a lubricating film over the articulating joint surfaces. Minimizing friction between articulating joint surfaces by lubrication is fundamental for decreasing hyaline cartilage wear and for maintaining the function of synovial joints. Augmentation with highly viscous supplements (that is, viscosupplementation) offers one approach to re-establishing the rheological and tribological properties of synovial fluid in OA. However, this approach has varied clinical outcomes owing to limited intra-articular residence time and ineffective mechanisms of chondroprotection. This Review discusses normal hyaline cartilage function and lubrication and examines the advantages and disadvantages of various strategies for restoring normal joint lubrication. These strategies include contemporary viscosupplements that contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatory drugs or platelet-rich plasma and new synthetic synovial fluid additives and cartilage matrix enhancers. Advanced biomimetic tribosupplements offer promise for mitigating cartilage wear, restoring joint function and, ultimately, improving patient care.

Abstract
The controlled delivery of the desired bioactive molecules is required to achieve the maximum therapeutic effects with minimum side effects. Biopolymer-based hydrogels are ideal platforms for delivering the desired molecules owing to their superior biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low-immune response. However, the prolonged delivery of the drugs through biopolymer-based hydrogels is restricted due to their weak mechanical stability. We developed mechanically tough and biocompatible hydrogels to address these limitations using carboxymethyl chitosan, sodium alginate, and nanocellulose for sustained drug delivery. The hydrogels were cross-linked through calcium ions to enhance their mechanical strength. Nanocellulose-added hydrogels exhibited improved mechanical strength (Young's modulus; 23.36 → 30.7 kPa, Toughness; 1.39 → 5.65 MJm-3) than pure hydrogels. The composite hydrogels demonstrated increased recovery potential (66.9 → 84.5 %) due to the rapid reformation of damaged polymeric networks. The hydrogels were stable in an aqueous medium and demonstrated reduced swelling potential. The hydrogels have no adverse effects on embryonic murine fibroblast (3 T3), showing their biocompatibility. No bacterial growth was observed in hydrogels-treated groups, indicating their antibacterial characteristics. The sustained drug released was observed from nanocellulose-assisted hydrogel scaffolds compared to the pure polymer hydrogel scaffold. Thus, hydrogels have potential and could be used as a sustained drug carrier.

Abstract
Organisms in nature have evolved a variety of surfaces with different tribological properties to adapt to the environment. By studying, understanding, and summarizing the friction and lubrication regulation phenomena of typical surfaces in nature, researchers have proposed various biomimetic friction regulation theories and methods to guide the development of new lubrication materials and lubrication systems. The design strategies for biomimetic friction/lubrication materials and systems mainly include the chemistry, surface structure, and mechanics. With the deepening understanding of the mechanism of biomimetic lubrication and the increasing application requirements, the design strategy of multi-strategy coupling has gradually become the center of attention for researchers. This paper focuses on the interfacial chemistry, surface structure, and surface mechanics of a single regulatory strategy and multi-strategy coupling approach. Based on the common biological friction regulation mechanism in nature, this paper reviews the research progress on biomimetic friction/lubrication materials in recent years, discusses and analyzes the single and coupled design strategies as well as their advantages and disadvantages, and describes the design concepts, working mechanisms, application prospects, and current problems of such materials. Finally, the development direction of biomimetic friction lubrication materials is prospected.

Acta Biomater 2024; 175:76-105. [PMID: 38128641 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.12.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 11/21/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
The lubrication modification of biomedical devices significantly enhances the functionality of implanted interventional medical devices, thereby providing additional benefits for patients. Polymer brush coating provides a convenient and efficient method for surface modification while ensuring the preservation of the substrate's original properties. The current research has focused on a "trial and error" method to finding polymer brushes with superior lubricity qualities, which is time-consuming and expensive, as obtaining effective and long-lasting lubricity properties for polymer brushes is difficult. This review summarizes recent research advances in the biomedical field in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of lubricating and antifouling polymer brushes, which follow the polymer brush development process. This review begins by examining various approaches to polymer brush design, including molecular dynamics simulation and machine learning, from the fundamentals of polymer brush lubrication. Recent advancements in polymer brush design are then synthesized and potential avenues for future research are explored. Emphasis is placed on the burgeoning field of zwitterionic polymer brushes, and highlighting the broad prospects of supramolecular polymer brushes based on host-guest interactions in the field of self-repairing polymer brush applications. The review culminates by providing a summary of methodologies for characterizing the structural and functional attributes of polymer brushes. It is believed that a development approach for polymer brushes based on "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" can be created, easing the challenge of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricating qualities and enabling the on-demand creation of coatings. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Biomedical devices have severe lubrication modification needs, and surface lubrication modification by polymer brush coating is currently the most promising means. However, the design and preparation of polymer brushes often involves "iterative testing" to find polymer brushes with excellent lubrication properties, which is both time-consuming and expensive. This review proposes a polymer brush development process based on the "design-material selection-preparation-characterization" strategy and summarizes recent research advances and trends in the design, material selection, preparation, and characterization of polymer brushes. This review will help polymer brush researchers by alleviating the challenges of creating polymer brushes with high-performance lubricity and promises to enable the on-demand construction of polymer brush lubrication coatings.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease. NSAIDS, cyclophosphamide and glucocorticoid were commonly used to treat RA in clinical application, which long-term administration of these drugs caused serious adverse reactions. Therefore, sulfated hyaluronic acid (sHA) gel (SG) was prepared to firstly treat the RA and avoid the problem of toxic side effect caused by long-term application. In vitro evaluation showed that sHA inhibited the level of reactive oxygen species and TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and decreased the ratio of macrophage M1/M2 type, which exerted better anti-inflammatory capacity. In vivo studies showed that the injection of SG into the joint cavity of collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis (CIA) rats could effectively treat joint swelling and reduce the level of inflammatory factors in the serum. Immunofluorescence showed that SG exerted its anti-inflammatory activity by decreasing the ratio of M1/M2 type macrophages in synovial tissue. Cartilage tissue sections showed that SG reduced bone erosion and elevated chondrocyte expression. These results confirmed that sHA is expected to be developed as a drug to treat or relieve RA, which could effectively regulate the level of macrophages in rat RA, alleviate the physiological state of inflammatory over-excitation, and improve its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen burst in articular chondrocytes is a major contributor to osteoarthritis progression. Although selenium is indispensable role in the antioxidant process, the narrow therapeutic window, delicate toxicity margins, and lack of an efficient delivery system have hindered its translation to clinical applications. Herein, transcriptomic and biochemical analyses revealed that osteoarthritis was associated with selenium metabolic abnormality. A novel injectable hydrogel to deliver selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was proposed to intervene selenoprotein expression for osteoarthritis treatment. The hydrogels based on oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) cross-linked with hyaluronic acid-adipic acid dihydrazide (HA-ADH) was formulated to load SeNPs through a Schiff base reaction. The hydrogels were further incorporated with SeNPs, which exhibited minimal toxicity, mechanical properties, self-healing capability, and sustained drug release. Encapsulated with SeNPs, the hydrogels facilitated cartilage repair through synergetic effects of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depressing apoptosis. Mechanistically, the hydrogel restored redox homeostasis by targeting glutathione peroxidase-1 (GPX1). Therapeutic outcomes of the SeNPs-laden hydrogel were demonstrated in an osteoarthritis rat model created by destabilization of the medial meniscus, including cartilage protection, subchondral bone sclerosis improvement, inflammation attenuation, and pain relief were demonstrated. These results highlight therapeutic potential of OHA/HA-ADH@SeNPs hydrogels, providing fundamental insights into remedying selenium imbalance for osteoarthritis biomaterial development.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, degenerative, and age-related disease. It is characterized by chronic inflammation, progressive articular cartilage destruction, and subchondral bone sclerosis. The current effective treatment for OA is limited. Hydrogel is a kind of unique carrier with well-known biocompatibility, softness, and high water content among various biomaterials. Hydrogels are developed for different biomedical applications, for instance, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. To date, a variety of hydrogels-based therapies have been used in OA patients or animal models. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the potential role of hydrogels in chondrocytes proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory component production and discussed the impact of hydrogels on OA development. The collection of this information will help better understand the present progress of hydrogels in OA.

Abstract
Dental-derived stem cells (DSCs) are attractive cell sources due to their easy access, superior growth capacity and low immunogenicity. They can respond to multiple extracellular matrix signals, which provide biophysical and biochemical cues to regulate the fate of residing cells. However, the direct transplantation of DSCs suffers from poor proliferation and differentiation toward functional cells and low survival rates due to local inflammation. Recently, elegant advances in the design of novel biomaterials have been made to give promise to the use of biomimetic biomaterials to regulate various cell behaviors, including proliferation, differentiation and migration. Biomaterials could be tailored with multiple functionalities, e.g., stimuli-responsiveness. There is an emerging need to summarize recent advances in engineered biomaterials-mediated delivery and therapy of DSCs and their potential applications. Herein, we outlined the design of biomaterials for supporting DSCs and the host response to the transplantation.

Correlation between interfacial layer properties and physical stability of food emulsions: current trends, challenges, strategies, and further perspectives. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 313:102863. [PMID: 36868168 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2023.102863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 02/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/18/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023]
Abstract
Emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems that tend to separate into two immiscible phases over time. The interfacial layer formed by the emulsifiers adsorbed at the oil-water interface plays an important role in the emulsion stability. The interfacial layer properties of emulsion droplets have been considered the cutting-in points that influence emulsion stability, a traditional motif of physical chemistry and colloid chemistry of particular significance in relation to the food science and technology sector. Although many attempts have shown that high interfacial viscoelasticity may contribute to long-term emulsion stability, a universal relationship for all cases between the interfacial layer features at the microscopic scale and the bulk physical stability of the emulsion at the macroscopic scale remains to be established. Not only that, but integrating the cognition from different scales of emulsions and establishing a unified single model to fill the gap in awareness between scales also remain challenging. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of recent progress in the general science of emulsion stability with a peculiar focus on interfacial layer characteristics in relation to the formation and stabilization of food emulsions, where the natural origin and edible safety of emulsifiers and stabilizers are highly requested. This review begins with a general overview of the construction and destruction of interfacial layers in emulsions to highlight the most important physicochemical characteristics of interfacial layers (formation kinetics, surface load, interactions among adsorbed emulsifiers, thickness and structure, and shear and dilatational rheology), and their roles in controlling emulsion stability. Subsequently, the structural effects of a series of typically dietary emulsifiers (small-molecule surfactants,proteins, polysaccharides, protein-polysaccharide complexes, and particles) on oil-water interfaces in food emulsions are emphasized. Finally, the main protocols developed for modifying the structural characteristics of adsorbed emulsifiers at multiple scales and improving the stability of emulsions are highlighted. Overall, this paper aims to comprehensively study the literature findings in the past decade and find out the commonality of multi-scale structures of emulsifiers, so as to deeply understand the common characteristics and emulsification stability behaviour of adsorption emulsifiers with different interfacial layer structures. It is difficult to say that there has been significant progress in the underlying principles and technologies in the general science of emulsion stability over the last decade or two. However, the correlation between interfacial layer properties and physical stability of food emulsions promotes revealing the role of interfacial rheological properties in emulsion stability, providing guidance on controlling the bulk properties by tuning the interfacial layer functionality.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that is characterized by inflammation of the joints, degradation of cartilage, and the remodeling of other joint tissues. Due to the absence of disease-modifying drugs for OA, current clinical treatment options are often only effective at slowing down disease progression and focus mainly on pain management. The field of tissue engineering has therefore been focusing on developing strategies that could be used not only to alleviate symptoms of OA but also to regenerate the damaged tissue. Hyaluronic acid (HA), an integral component of both the synovial fluid and articular cartilage, has gained widespread usage in developing hydrogels that deliver cells and biomolecules to the OA joint thanks to its biocompatibility and ability to support cell growth and the chondrogenic differentiation of encapsulated stem cells, providing binding sites for growth factors. Tissue-engineering strategies have further attempted to improve the role of HA as an OA therapeutic by developing diverse modified HA delivery platforms for enhanced joint retention and controlled drug release. This review summarizes recent advances in developing HA-based hydrogels for OA treatment and provides additional insights into how HA-based therapeutics could be further improved to maximize their potential as a viable treatment option for OA.

Abstract
Drug delivery for osteoarthritis (OA) treatment is a continuous challenge because of their poor bioavailability and rapid clearance in joints. Intra-articular (IA) drug delivery is a common strategy and its therapeutic effects depend mainly on the efficacy of the drug-delivery system used for OA therapy. Different types of IA drug-delivery systems, such as microspheres, nanoparticles, and hydrogels, have been rapidly developed over the past decade to improve their therapeutic effects. With the continuous advancement in OA mechanism research, new drugs targeting specific cell/signaling pathways in OA are rapidly evolving and effective drug delivery is critical for treating OA. In this review, recent advances in various IA drug-delivery systems for OA treatment, OA targeted strategies, and related signaling pathways in OA treatment are summarized and analyzed based on current publications.

Abstract
Hydrogels with high mechanical strength and injectability have attracted extensive attention in biomedical and tissue engineering. However, endowing a hydrogel with both properties is challenging because they are generally inversely related. In this work, by constructing a multi-hydrogen-bonding system, a high-strength and injectable supramolecular hydrogel is successfully fabricated. It is constructed by the self-assembly of a monomeric nucleoside molecular gelator (2-amino-2'-fluoro-2'-deoxyadenosine (2-FA)) with distilled water/phosphate buffered saline as solvent. Its storage modulus reaches 1 MPa at a concentration of 5.0 wt%, which is the strongest supramolecular hydrogel comprising an ultralow-molecular-weight (MW < 300) gelator. Furthermore, it exhibits excellent shear-thinning injectability, and completes the sol-gel transition in seconds after injection at 37 °C. The multi-hydrogen-bonding system is essentially based on the synergistic interactions between the double NH2 groups, water molecules, and 2'-F atoms. Furthermore, the 2-FA hydrogel exhibits excellent biocompatibility and antibacterial activity. When applied to rat molar extraction sockets, compared to natural healing and the commercial hemorrhage agent gelatin sponge, the 2-FA hydrogel exhibits faster degradation and induces less osteoclastic activity and inflammatory infiltration, resulting in more complete bone healing. In summary, this study provides ideas for proposing a multifunctional, high-strength, and injectable supramolecular hydrogel for various biomedical engineering applications.

Abstract
Despite four decades of research in intra-articular drug delivery systems (DDS) and two decades of advances in disease-modifying osteoarthritis drugs (DMOADs), there is still no clinically available disease-modifying therapy for osteoarthritis (OA). Multiple barriers compromise intra-articular DMOAD delivery. Although multiple exciting approaches have been developed to overcome these barriers, there are still outstanding questions. We make several recommendations that can help in fully overcoming these barriers. Considering OA heterogeneity, we also propose a patient-centered, bottom-up workflow to guide preclinical development of DDS-based intra-articular DMOAD therapies. Overall, we expect this review to inspire paradigm-shifting innovations for developing next-generation DDS that can enable clinical translation of intra-articular DMOADs.

Freeze-thaw and solvent-exchange strategy to generate physically cross-linked organogels and hydrogels of curdlan with tunable mechanical properties. Carbohydr Polym 2022; 278:119003.

Abstract
Physical gels from natural polysaccharides present the advantage of no toxic cross-linking agents and no chemical modification during preparation. Herein, novel physical gels, transparent organogels and opaque hydrogels from the microorganism-derived (1,3)-β-D-glucan of curdlan were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) using the freeze-thaw technique, followed by a solvent-exchange strategy with water. The mechanical and structural properties of these gels were investigated by rheology, scanning electron microscopy, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering. Gelation mechanisms and intermolecular interaction models have also been proposed. The good solvent DMSO serves as both a crosslinker and a pore-foaming agent in organogels. The reversible macromolecular conformation changes and phase separation of curdlan endow the gels with reversible transparency, volume change and tunable mechanical strength. The new design strategy of facile preparation and performance tuning provides a platform for developing new organogels and sterile hydrogels of curdlan.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence has suggested the significant potential of chemically modified hydrogels in bone regeneration. Despite the progress of bioactive hydrogels with different materials, structures and loading cargoes, the desires from clinical applications have not been fully validated. Multiple biological behaviors are orchestrated precisely during the bone regeneration process, including bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) recruitment, osteogenic differentiation, matrix calcification and well-organized remodeling. Since matrix metalloproteinases play critical roles in such bone metabolism processes as BMSC commitment, osteoblast survival, osteoclast activation matrix calcification and microstructure remodeling, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) cleavable peptides-based hydrogels could respond to various MMP levels and, thus, accelerate bone regeneration. In this review, we focused on the MMP-cleavable peptides, polymers, functional modification and crosslinked reactions. Applications, perspectives and limitations of MMP-cleavable peptides-based hydrogels for bone regeneration were then discussed.

Abstract
The flow of polymeric liquids in narrow confinements with a rectangular cross section, in the presence of electrical double layers is analyzed here. Our analysis is motivated by the fact that many of the previous studies on the flow of complex fluids tend to focus on highly idealized parallel plate channels, which are markedly different from the rectangular ducts, used in many experiments and devices. We consider the combined electroosmotic and pressure driven flows as well as the streaming potential resulting from a mechanically driven flow. We use two distinct constitutive relations to model the polymeric liquids, namely the simplified exponential Phan-Thien-Tanner (sePTT) model and the Giesekus model, both of which are non-linear viscoelastic models, capable of capturing the shear thinning behavior. We establish that the applied electric field may have a strong influence on the overall flow rate, which rapidly increases with the field strength as well as the extent of viscoelasticity of the fluid. Viscoelasticity and shear thinning behavior also enhance the streaming potential by several fold as compared to a Newtonian medium. We demonstrate that the aspect ratio of a channel has a bigger influence on the net throughput and the streaming potential, when the extent of viscoelasticity is relatively large. We illustrate that for sePTT fluids, the flow is strictly unidirectional, while for Giesekus fluids, secondary flows are inevitably present on account of their non-zero second normal stress coefficient. Although the electric field does not change the overall patterns of these secondary flows, their magnitude does depend on the imposed field strength for combined flows.

Abstract
Postsurgical peritoneal adhesions are a common and serious postoperative complication after various peritoneal surgeries, such as pelvic and abdominal surgery. Various studies have shown that peritoneal adhesions can be minimized or prevented by physical anti-adhesion barriers, including membranes, knits, and hydrogels. Hydrogels have attracted great attention in preventing peritoneal adhesions because the dimensional architecture of hydrogels is similar to that of the native extracellular matrix. However, chemical cross-linkers had to be used in the preparation of chemical hydrogels, which may have problems in cytotoxicity or unwanted side effects. This fact prompts us to create alternative cross-linking methods for the development of biocompatible hydrogels as physical barriers. Herein, we report a physically cross-linked flexible hyaluronan (HA) cryogel prepared via a freeze-thaw technique as a novel anti-adhesion biomaterial for completely preventing postsurgical peritoneal adhesions. In vitro studies demonstrated that this physically cross-linked HA cryogel exhibited excellent biocompatibility, the inherently desirable biocompatibility and functionality of HA being integrally retained as much as possible. Intriguingly, the rheological properties and appropriate biodegradability of the cryogels were readily tailored and tunable by way of the gelation process. In vivo assessments suggested that the cryogel, as a physical barrier, satisfactorily prevented fibroblast penetration and attachment between the injured tissues and nearby normal organs. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism studies revealed that the HA cryogel could prevent peritoneal adhesion by inhibiting inflammatory response and modulation of the fibrinolytic system. Our results show that HA ultrasoft cryogel is a promising clinical candidate for prolonged adhesion prevention.

Abstract
Clinical treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is very poor for lack of effective treatment combination selection. Protein C receptor (PROCR) is a novel cancer stem marker in TNBC patients tumor tissues. Developed based on peptide BP10 with affinity to PROCR as a targeting element, constructing a peptide drug conjugate of BP10 covalently coupling doxorubicin with disulfide bonds. This study demonstrated that the constructed BP10-DOX can selectively target Triplenegative breast cancer cells expressing PROCR and controlled release of DOX in response to the GSH environment. Moreover, BP10-DOX improves the therapeutic efficiency on MDA-MB-231 cells in vitro. Further evidence obtained from in vivo xenograft experiments revealed that administration of BP10-DOX enhanced the antitumor efficacy. This study developed a promising chemotherapy strategy for TNBC.

Abstract
With increasing interest in aging and skin care, the use of fillers to increase the volume of soft tissue volume is increasing globally. However, the side effects caused by the residual chemical crosslinking agents present in these fillers limit the effective application of commercialized filler products. Therefore, the development of a novel crosslinking system with a non-toxic chemical crosslinking agent is required to overcome the limitations of commercial hyaluronate (HA)-based fillers. In this paper, a new injectable hydrogel with enhanced mechanical properties, tissue adhesion, injectability, and biocompatibility is reported. The HA derivatives modified with catechol groups (HA-DA) were crosslinked by self-oxidation under in vivo physiological conditions (pH 7.4) without chemical crosslinkers to form hydrogels, which can be further accelerated by the dissolved oxygen in the body. The fabricated HA-DA filler showed excellent mechanical properties and could be easily injected with a low injection force. Further, the HA-DA filler stably attached to the injection site due to the tissue adhesion properties of the catechol groups, thus leading to an improved displacement stability. In addition, the HA-DA filler showed excellent cell viability, cell proliferation, and biocompatibility. Therefore, the HA-DA hydrogel is a novel soft tissue filler with great potential to overcome the limitations of commercial soft tissue fillers.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex multi-target disease with an unmet medical need for the development of therapies that slow and potentially revert disease progression. Intra-articular (IA) delivery has seen a surge in osteoarthritis research in recent years. As local administration of molecules, this represents a way to circumvent systemic drug delivery struggles. When developing intra-articular formulations, the main goals are a sustained and controlled release of therapeutic drug doses, taking into account carrier choice, drug molecule, and articular joint tissue target. Therefore, the selection of models is critical when developing local administration formulation in terms of accurate outcome assessment, target and off-target effects and relevant translation to in vivo. The current review highlights the applications of OA in vitro models in the development of IA formulation by means of exploring their advantages and disadvantages. In vitro models are essential in studies of OA molecular pathways, understanding drug and target interactions, assessing cytotoxicity of carriers and drug molecules, and predicting in vivo behaviors. However, further understanding of molecular and tissue-specific intricacies of cellular models for 2D and 3D needs improvement to accurately portray in vivo conditions.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a multifunctional high molecular weight polysaccharide produced by synoviocytes, fibroblasts, and chondrocytes, and is naturally found in many tissues and fluids, and more abundantly in articular cartilage and synovial fluid. Naturally occurring HA is thought to participate in many biological processes, such as regulation of cell adhesion and cell motility, manipulation of cell differentiation and proliferation, and providing mechanical properties to tissues (Girish and Kemparaju, 2007). Due to its excellent physicochemical properties such as high viscosity, elasticity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity, and nonimmunogenicity, HA based formulations have a wide range of applications and serves as a promising rejuvenating biomacromolecule in biomedical applications. In recent decades, HA is currently a popular topic, and has been widely used in bone related diseases for its remarkable efficacy in articular cartilage lubrication, analgesia, anti-inflammation, immunomodulatory, chondroprotection, anti-cancer and etc. Moreover, the safety and tolerability of HA based formulations have also been well-documented for treatment of various types of bone related diseases (Chen et al., 2018). This review gives a deep understanding on the special benefits and provides a mechanism-based rationale for the use of HA in bone related diseases conditions with special reference to osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), bone metastatic cancers.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by joint synovial inflammation, as well as cartilage and bone tissue destruction. Current strategies for the treatment of RA can reduce joint inflammation, but the treatment options still represent stability concerns since they are not sufficient and present a fast clearing. Thus, several drug delivery systems (DDS) have been advanced to tackle this limitation. Injectable gellan gum (GG) hydrogels, reduced by physical crosslinking methods, also being proposed as DDS, but this kind of crosslinking can produce hydrogels that become weaker in physiological conditions. Nevertheless, enzymatic crosslinking emerged as an alternative to increase mechanical strength, which can be adjusted by the degree of enzymatic crosslinking. In this study, tyramine-modified gellan gum (Ty-GG) hydrogels were developed via horseradish peroxidase (HRP) crosslinking; and betamethasone was encapsulated within, to increase the specificity and safety in the treatment of patients with RA. Physicochemical results showed that it was possible to modify GG with tyramine, with a degree of substitution of approximately 30%. They showed high mechanical strength and resistance, presenting a controlled betamethasone release profile over time. Ty-GG hydrogels also exhibited no cytotoxic effects and do not negatively affected the metabolic activity and proliferation of chondrogenic primary cells. Furthermore, the main goal was achieved since betamethasone-loaded Ty-GG hydrogels demonstrated to have a more effective therapeutic effect when compared with the administration of betamethasone alone. Therefore, the developed Ty-GG hydrogels represent a promising DDS and a reliable alternative to traditional treatments in patients with RA.

Polyvinyl Alcohol/Chitosan/Polyhexamethylene Biguanide Phase Separation System: A Potential Topical Antibacterial Formulation with Enhanced Antimicrobial Effect. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25061334.

Abstract
An aqueous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (CHT)/polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) blends (PVA/CHT/PHMB blends) has been developed as a potential low dose topical antibacterial formulation with enhanced antimicrobial effect. The preparation of PVA/CHT/PHMB blends was quite facilely, with just dissolved PVA, CHT, PHMB in water in order. There was the aggregates with 100 nm size around induced by phase separation in the blends and an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) formed, as non-ionic polymer PVA formed a continuous phase and cationic polymer CHT and PHMB formed dispersed phases. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PHMB in the PVA/CHT/PHMB blends was 0.5μg/mL, which was four times lower than the MIC of PHMB individually. A phase separation increased zeta potential mechanism was proposed to explain the enhanced antibacterial activities. In addition, the blends could easily form film on the skin surface with good water vapor permeability and be used as a liquid bandage to accelerate the scratch wound healing process of nude mouse. These findings provide experimental evidence that the PHMB-functionalized blends could be further explored as low-dose topical antibacterial formulations, and the nano-sized phase separation strategy could be used to design novel low-dose topical antibacterial formulations with an enhanced antimicrobial effect.

Abstract
Polymer-based hydrogels have been widely applied for chronic wound therapeutics, due to their well-acclaimed wound exudate management capability. At the same time, there is still an unmet clinical need for simple wound diagnostic tools to assist clinical decision-making at the point of care and deliver on the vision of patient-personalised wound management. To explore this challenge, we present a one-step synthetic strategy to realise a redox-responsive, hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel that is sensitive to wound environment-related variations in glutathione (GSH) concentration. By selecting aminoethyl disulfide (AED) as a GSH-sensitive crosslinker and considering GSH concentration variations in active and non-self-healing wounds, we investigated the impact of GSH-induced AED cleavage on hydrogel dimensions, aiming to build GSH-size relationships for potential point-of-care wound diagnosis. The hydrogel was also found to be non-cytotoxic and aided L929 fibroblast growth and proliferation over seven days in vitro. Such a material offers a very low-cost tool for the visual detection of a target analyte that varies dependent on the status of the cells and tissues (wound detection), and may be further exploited as an implant for fibroblast growth and tissue regeneration (wound repair).
