Wang WY, Ni JY, Huang SH, Cui QW, Wang YQ, Gu ZQ, Li YF. Hyposalinity stress reduces mussel byssus secretion but does not cause detachment. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 930:172561. [PMID: 38641104 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/16/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Environmental stressors such as salinity fluctuations can significantly impact the ecological dynamics of mussel beds. The present study evaluated the influence of hyposalinity stress on the detachment and survival of attached mussels by simulating a mussel farming model in a laboratory setting. Byssus production and mechanical properties of thread in response to varying salinity levels were assessed, and histological sections of the mussel foot were analyzed to identify the changes in the byssus secretory gland area. The results showed that hyposalinity stress (20 and 15 psu) led to a significant decrease in mussel byssus secretion, delayed initiation of new byssus production, and reduced plaque adhesion strength and breaking force of byssal threads compared to the control (30 psu) (p < 0.05). The complete suppression of byssal thread secretion in mussels under salinity conditions of 10 and 5 psu, leading to lethality, indicates the presence of a blockade in byssus secretion when mussels are subjected to significant physiological stressors. Histological analysis further demonstrated a decrease in the percentage of foot secretory gland areas in mussels exposed to low salinities. However, contrary to expectations, the study found that mussels did not exhibit marked detachment from ropes in response to the reduced salinity levels during one week of exposure. Hyposalinity stress exposure reduced the byssal secretion capacity and the mechanical properties of threads, which could be a cause for the detachment of suspension-cultured mussels. These results highlight the vulnerability of mussels to hyposalinity stress, which significantly affects their byssus mechanical performance.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) significantly contributes to the high incidence of complications and mortality associated with acute myocardial infarction. Recently, injectable electroconductive hydrogels (IECHs) have emerged as promising tools for replicating the mechanical, electroconductive, and physiological characteristics of cardiac tissue. Herein, we aimed to develop a novel IECH by incorporating irbesartan as a drug delivery system (DDS) for cardiac repair. Our approach involved merging a conductive poly-thiophene derivative (PEDOT: PSS) with an injectable dual-network adhesive hydrogel (DNAH) comprising a catechol-branched polyacrylamide network and a chitosan-hyaluronic acid covalent network. The resulting P-DNAH hydrogel, benefitting from a high conducting polymer content, a chemically crosslinked network, a robust dissipative matrix, and dynamic oxidation of catechol to quinone exhibited superior mechanical strength, desirable conductivity, and robust wet-adhesiveness. In vitro experiments with the P-DNAH hydrogel carrying irbesartan (P-DNAH-I) demonstrated excellent biocompatibility by cck-8 kit on H9C2 cells and a rapid initial release of irbesartan. Upon injection into the infarcted hearts of MIRI mouse models, the P-DNAH-I hydrogel effectively inhibited the inflammatory response and reduced the infarct size. In conclusion, our results suggest that the P-DNAH hydrogel, possessing suitable mechanical properties and electroconductivity, serves as an ideal IECH for DDS, delivering irbesartan to promote heart repair.

Abstract
Oral diseases are prevalent but challenging diseases owing to the highly movable and wet, microbial and inflammatory environment. Polymeric materials are regarded as one of the most promising biomaterials due to their good compatibility, facile preparation, and flexible design to obtain multifunctionality. Therefore, a variety of strategies have been employed to develop materials with improved therapeutic efficacy by overcoming physicobiological barriers in oral diseases. In this review, we summarize the design strategies of polymeric biomaterials for the treatment of oral diseases. First, we present the unique oral environment including highly movable and wet, microbial and inflammatory environment, which hinders the effective treatment of oral diseases. Second, a series of strategies for designing polymeric materials towards such a unique oral environment are highlighted. For example, multifunctional polymeric materials are armed with wet-adhesive, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory functions through advanced chemistry and nanotechnology to effectively treat oral diseases. These are achieved by designing wet-adhesive polymers modified with hydroxy, amine, quinone, and aldehyde groups to provide strong wet-adhesion through hydrogen and covalent bonding, and electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, by developing antimicrobial polymers including cationic polymers, antimicrobial peptides, and antibiotic-conjugated polymers, and by synthesizing anti-inflammatory polymers with phenolic hydroxy and cysteine groups that function as immunomodulators and electron donors to reactive oxygen species to reduce inflammation. Third, various delivery systems with strong wet-adhesion and enhanced mucosa and biofilm penetration capabilities, such as nanoparticles, hydrogels, patches, and microneedles, are constructed for delivery of antibiotics, immunomodulators, and antioxidants to achieve therapeutic efficacy. Finally, we provide insights into challenges and future development of polymeric materials for oral diseases with promise for clinical translation.

Abstract
The mussel byssus system, comprising the adhesive plaque, distal thread, and proximal thread, plays a crucial role in the survival of marine mussels amongst ocean waves. Whilst recent research has explored the stress-strain behaviour of the distal thread and proximal thread through experimental approaches, little attention has been paid to the potential analytical or modelling methods within the current literature. In this work, analytical and finite element (FE) inverse methods were employed for the first time to identify the hyperelastic mechanical properties of both the plaque portion and the proximal thread. The results have demonstrated the feasibility of applied inverse methods in determining the mechanical properties of the constituents of the mussel byssus system, with the residual sum of squares of 0.0004 (N2) and 0.01 (mm2) for the proximal thread and the plaque portion, respectively. By leveraging mechanical and optical tests, this inverse methodology offers a simple and powerful means to anticipate the material properties for different portions of the mussel byssus system, thus providing insights into mimetic applications in engineering and material design.

Abstract
The combination of the catechol-containing comonomer dopamine methacrylamide (DMA) with stimuli-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels bears a huge potential in research and for applications due to the versatile properties of catechols. This research gives the first detailed insights into the influence of DMA on the swelling of PNIPAM microgels and their nanomechanical properties. Dynamic light scattering measurements showed that DMA decreases the volume phase transition temperature and completion temperature due to its higher hydrophobicity when compared to NIPAM, while sharpening the transition. The cross-linking ability of DMA decreases the swelling ratios and mesh sizes of the microgels. Microgels adsorbed at the solid surface are characterized by atomic force microscopy─as the DMA content increases, microgels protrude more from the surface. Force spectroscopy measurements below and above the volume phase transition temperature display a stiffening of the microgels with the incorporation of DMA and upon heating across its entire cross section as evidenced by an increase in the E modulus. This confirms the cross-linking ability of DMA. The affine network factor β, derived from the Flory-Rehner theory, is linearly correlated with the E moduli of both pure PNIPAM and P(NIPAM-co-DMA) microgels. However, large DMA amounts hinder the microgel shrinking while maintaining mechanical stiffness, possibly due to catechol interactions within the microgel network.

Abstract
Mussels are marine organisms that are capable of constructing an underwater adhesion between their bodies and rigid structures. It is well known that mussels achieve underwater adhesion through the presence of mussel adhesive proteins (MAPs) that contain high levels of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Although the extraordinary underwater adhesive properties of mussels are attributed to DOPA, its capacity to play a dual role in surface adhesion and internal cohesion is inherently limited. However, mussels employ a combination of chemical moieties, not just DOPA, along with anatomical components, such as plaque and byssus, in underwater adhesion. This also involves junction proteins that connect the plaque and byssus. In this study, a novel hybrid MAP was bioengineered via the fusion of the plaque protein (foot protein type 1) and the histidine-rich domain of the junction protein (foot protein type 4). To achieve direct adhesion underwater, the adhesive should maintain surface adhesion without disintegrating. Notably, the histidine-Zn-coordinated hybrid MAP hydrogel maintained a high surface adhesion ability even after cross-linking because of the preservation of its unoxidized and non-cross-linked DOPA moieties. The formulated adhesive hydrogel system based on the bioengineered hybrid MAP exhibited self-healing properties, owing to the reversible metal coordination bonds. The developed adhesive hydrogel exhibits outstanding levels of bulk adhesion in underwater environments, highlighting its potential as an effective adhesive biomaterial. Therefore, the introduction of histidine-rich domains into MAPs may be applied in various studies to formulate mussel-inspired adhesives with self-healing properties and to fully utilize the adhesive ability of DOPA.

Abstract
Coral reef survival is threatened globally. One way to restore this delicate ecosystem is to enhance coral growth by the controlled propagation of coral fragments. To be sustainable, this technique requires the use of biocompatible underwater adhesives. Hydrogels based on rationally designed ultrashort self-assembling peptides (USP) are of great interest for various biological and environmental applications, due to their biocompatibility and tunable mechanical properties. Implementing superior adhesion properties to the USP hydrogel compounds is crucial in both water and high ionic strength solutions and is relevant in medical and marine environmental applications such as coral regeneration. Some marine animals secrete large quantities of the aminoacids dopa and lysine to enhance their adhesion to wet surfaces. Therefore, the addition of catechol moieties to the USP sequence containing lysine (IIZK) should improve the adhesive properties of USP hydrogels. However, it is challenging to place the catechol moiety (Do) within the USP sequence at an optimal position without compromising the hydrogel self-assembly process and mechanical properties. Here, we demonstrate that, among three USP hydrogels, DoIIZK is the least adhesive and that the adhesiveness of the IIZDoK hydrogel is compromised by its poor mechanical properties. The best adhesion outcome was achieved using the IIZKDo hydrogel, the only one to show equally sound adhesive and mechanical properties. A mechanistic understanding of this outcome is presented here. This property was confirmed by the successful gluing of coral fragments by means of IIZKDo hydrogel that are still thriving after more than three years since the deployment. The validated biocompatibility of this underwater hydrogel glue suggests that it could be advantageously implemented for other applications, such as surgical interventions.

Abstract
Hydrogels' exceptional mechanical strength and skin-adhesion characteristics offer significant advantages for various applications, particularly in the fields of tissue adhesion and wearable sensors. Herein, we incorporated a combination of metal-coordination and hydrogen-bonding forces in the design of stretchable and adhesive hydrogels. We synthesized four hydrogels, namely PAID-0, PAID-1, PAID-2, and PAID-3, consisting of acrylamide (AAM), N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (MBA), and methacrylic-modified dopamine (DA). The impact of different ratios of iron (III) ions to DA on each hydrogel's performance was investigated. Our results demonstrate that the incorporation of iron-dopamine complexes significantly enhances the mechanical strength of the hydrogel. Interestingly, as the DA content increased, we observed a continuous and substantial improvement in both the stretchability and skin adhesiveness of the hydrogel. Among the hydrogels tested, PAID-3, which exhibited optimal mechanical properties, was selected for adhesion testing on various materials. Impressively, PAID-3 demonstrated excellent adhesion to diverse materials and, combined with the low cytotoxicity of PAID hydrogel, holds great promise as an innovative option for biomedical engineering applications.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is the classic soft tissue sarcomas (STS) first-line treatment drug, while dose-dependent myelosuppression and cardiotoxicity limit its application in clinic. This research intends to apply DOX, which is also an inducer of immunogenic cell death as a part for "in situ vaccination" and conjointly uses PD-1 inhibitors to enhance antitumor efficacy. In order to achieve the sustained vaccination effect and real-time monitoring of distribution in vivo, the in situ forming and injectable hydrogel platform with the function of visualization is established for local delivery. The hydrogel platform is synthesized by hyaluronic acid-dopamine coordinated with gadolinium ions (Gd2+ ). Gd2+ provides the ability of magnetic resonance imaging, meanwhile further cross-linking the hydrogel network. Experiments show excellent ability of sustained release and imaging tracking for the hydrogel platform. In mouse STS models, the "in situ vaccination" hydrogels show the best effect of inhibiting tumor growth. Further analysis of tumor tissues show that "in situ vaccination" group can increase T cell infiltration, promote M1-type macrophage polarization and block elevated PD-1/PD-L1 pathway caused by DOX. These results are expected to prove the potential for synthesized hydrogels to achieve a universal platform for "in situ vaccination" strategies on STS treatments.

Abstract
The functional pool of canonical amino acids (cAAs) has been enriched through the emergence of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs). NcAAs play a crucial role in the production of various pharmaceuticals. The biosynthesis of ncAAs has emerged as an alternative to traditional chemical synthesis due to its environmental friendliness and high efficiency. The breakthrough genetic code expansion (GCE) technique developed in recent years has allowed the incorporation of ncAAs into target proteins, giving them special functions and biological activities. The biosynthesis of ncAAs and their incorporation into target proteins within a single microbe has become an enticing application of such molecules. Based on that, in this study, we first review the biosynthesis methods for ncAAs and analyze the difficulties related to biosynthesis. We then summarize the GCE methods and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. Further, we review the application progress of ncAAs and anticipate the challenges and future development directions of ncAAs.

Abstract
Gelatin, being a naturally derived biomacromolecule shows good biocompatibility and biodegradability and hence turn out to be a potential biomaterial in synthesizing adhesive hydrogel. However, to achieve significant adhesive strength under wet condition and good mechanical properties, gelatin is functionalised with dopamine and acrylic acid. Here, inspired from nature, we have developed a gelatin based adhesive hydrogel for wet surfaces by incorporating dopamine into gelatin-poly(acrylic acid) chain. The synthesized hydrogel demonstrate good mechanical strength, high stretchability, reversibility, self-healing and dynamic adhesive behaviour along with long term reusability. The adhesive strength of the synthesized hydrogel to tissue surface was found to be 6.5 KPa when applied under submerged condition. Moreover, the swelling behaviour of the hydrogel reveals that hydrogel have limited swellability thereby retaining adhesive property under fully swollen state. Haemolysis results reveals the biocompatible nature of the hydrogel. Thus this hydrogel emerge to be a promising bioadhesive for application in various fields mostly in biomedical devices.

Abstract
Developing novel hemostatic materials with accelerating wound healing functions has raised widespread attention recently. To adapt to irregular and incompressible wounds, we fabricated a series of biomass-derived ultrafast cross-linked adhesive hydrogels with adjustable gelation time and injectable properties through Schiff-base and ionic coordinate bonds among catechol-conjugated gelatin (GelDA), dialdehyde cellulose nanocrystals (DACNCs), calcium ions (Ca2+) and ferric iron (Fe3+). The fast-gelling hydrogels possess adjustable gelation time and mechanical properties by altering the contents of DACNCs and Fe3+. With double-dynamic-bond crosslinking, the hydrogels are endowed with the desired self-healing and injectable performance compared to gelatin-based hydrogels without DACNCs. Additionally, the hydrogels present enhanced adhesiveness, NIR responsiveness and antibacterial activity with the introduction of catechol groups and the formation of catechol-Fe complexes. Both in vitro and in vivo hemostatic assays and degradation experiments confirm that the hydrogels achieve rapid hemostasis and display fantastic biodegradability. As demonstrated by a rat full-thickness skin defect model, the hydrogels with multifunctionality remarkably accelerate the regeneration of wound tissues. Thus, the ultrafast cross-linked hydrogels are potentially valuable as hemostatic materials for wound healing applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
Musculoskeletal disorders are the second leading cause of disability worldwide, posing a huge global burden to the public sanitation system. Currently, tissue engineering-based approaches act as effective strategies, which are, however, challenging in limited application scenarios. Mussel-based biomimetic materials, exhibit numerous unique properties such as intense adhesion, biocompatibility, moisture resistance, and injectability, to name only a few, and have attracted extensive research interest. In particular, featuring state-of-the-art properties, mussel-inspired biomaterials have been widely explored in innumerable musculoskeletal disorder treatments including osteochondral defects, osteosarcoma, osteoarthritis, ligament rupture, and osteoporosis. Nevertheless, a comprehensive and timely discussion of their applications in musculoskeletal disorders is insufficient. In this review, we emphasize on (1) the main categories and characteristics of mussel foot proteins and their fundamental mechanisms for the spectacular adhesion in mussels; (2) the diverse synthetic methods and modification of various polymers; and (3) the emerging applications of mussel-biomimetic materials, the future perspectives, and challenges, especially in the area of musculoskeletal disorder. We envision that this review will provide a unique and insightful perspective to improve the development of a new generation of mussel biomimetic strategies.

Abstract
Membrane fouling remains a key challenge for membrane separations. Hydrophilic membrane surface modification can mitigate irreversible foulant deposition, thereby improving fouling resistance. We report new hydrophilic membrane coatings based on 1,4-benzoquinone and various commercially available polyetheramines. These coatings, prepared from 1,4-benzoquinone and Jeffamine EDR 148, poly(benzoquinone-Jeffamine EDR 148) (p(BQ-EDR 148)), were used to modify polysulfone (PS) ultrafiltration membranes. In fouling experiments using an oil/water emulsion, membranes exhibited comparable fouling resistance to that of polydopamine (pDA)-modified membranes. Based on contact angle measurements, p(BQ-EDR 148) and pDA-modified membranes have similar levels of hydrophilicity, and both exhibited higher threshold flux values than those of their unmodified analogues. Based on their similar threshold flux values, p(BQ-EDR 148)-modified (76 LMH) and pDA-modified membranes (74 LMH) should have similar fouling resistance. Moreover, the mean pore size of p(BQ-EDR 148)-modified membranes can be tuned, while keeping the pure water permeance constant, by changing the deposition time and molar ratio of benzoquinone to EDR 148 in the modification solution.

Abstract
Nature offers inspiration for the development of high-performance synthetic materials. Extensive studies on the universal adhesion and self-healing behavior of mussel byssus reveal that a series of reversible molecular interactions occurring in byssal plaques and threads play an essential role, and the mussel-inspired chemistry can serve as a versatile platform for the design of self-healing materials. In this Perspective, we provide an overview of the recent progress in the detection, quantification, and utilization of mussel-inspired reversible molecular interactions, which includes the elucidation of their binding mechanisms via force-measuring techniques and the development of self-healing materials based on these dynamic interactions. Both conventional catechol-medicated interactions and newly discovered chemistry beyond the catechol groups are discussed, providing insights into the design strategies of advanced self-healing materials via mussel-inspired chemistry.

Abstract
Glue-type bio-adhesives are in high demand for many applications, including hemostasis, wound closure, and integration of bioelectronic devices, due to their injectable ability and in situ adhesion. However, most glue-type bio-adhesives cannot be used for short-term tissue adhesion due to their weak instant cohesion. Here, we show a novel glue-type bio-adhesive based on the phase separation of proteins and polysaccharides by functionalizing polysaccharides with dopa. The bio-adhesive exhibits increased adhesion performance and enhanced phase separation behaviors. Because of the cohesion from phase separation and adhesion from dopa, the bio-adhesive shows excellent instant and long-term adhesion performance for both organic and inorganic substrates. The long-term adhesion strength of the bio-glue on wet tissues reached 1.48 MPa (shear strength), while the interfacial toughness reached ~880 J m−2. Due to the unique phase separation behaviors, the bio-glue can even work normally in aqueous environments. At last, the feasibility of this glue-type bio-adhesive in the adhesion of various visceral tissues in vitro was demonstrated to have excellent biocompatibility. Given the convenience of application, biocompatibility, and robust bio-adhesion, we anticipate the bio-glue may find broad biomedical and clinical applications.

Abstract
Biological load-bearing tissues are strong, tough, and recoverable under periodic mechanical loads. However, such features have rarely been achieved simultaneously in the same synthetic hydrogels. Here, we use a force-coupled enzymatic reaction to tune a strong covalent peptide linkage to a reversible bond. Based on this concept we engineered double network hydrogels that combine high mechanical strength and reversible mechanical recovery in the same hydrogels. Specifically, we found that a peptide ligase, sortase A, can promote the proteolysis of peptides under force. The peptide bond can be re-ligated by the same enzyme in the absence of force. This allows the sacrificial network in the double-network hydrogels to be ruptured and rebuilt reversibly. Our results demonstrate a general approach for precisely controlling the mechanical and dynamic properties of hydrogels at the molecular level.

Abstract
Wet adhesion technology has potential applications in various fields, especially in the biomedical field, yet it has not been completely mastered by humans. Many aquatic organisms (e.g., mussels, sandcastle worms, and barnacles) have evolved into wet adhesion specialists with excellent underwater adhesion abilities, and mimicking their adhesion principles to engineer artificial adhesive materials offers an important avenue to address the wet adhesion issue. The crustacean barnacle secretes a proteinaceous adhesive called barnacle cement, with which they firmly attach their bodies to almost any substrate underwater. Owing to the unique chemical composition, structural property, and adhesion mechanism, barnacle cement has attracted widespread research interest as a novel model for designing biomimetic adhesive materials, with significant progress being made. To further boost the development of barnacle cement–inspired adhesive materials (BCIAMs), it is necessary to systematically summarize their design strategies and research advances. However, no relevant reviews have been published yet. In this context, we presented a systematic review for the first time. First, we introduced the underwater adhesion principles of natural barnacle cement, which lay the basis for the design of BCIAMs. Subsequently, we classified the BCIAMs into three major categories according to the different design strategies and summarized their research advances in great detail. Finally, we discussed the research challenge and future trends of this field. We believe that this review can not only improve our understanding of the molecular mechanism of barnacle underwater adhesion but also accelerate the development of barnacle-inspired wet adhesion technology.

Abstract
Supramolecular assembly is commonly driven by noncovalent interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding, electrostatic, hydrophobic, and aromatic interactions) and plays a predominant role in multidisciplinary research areas ranging from materials design to molecular biology. Understanding these noncovalent interactions at the molecular level is important for studying and designing supramolecular assemblies in chemical and biological systems. Cation-π interactions, initially found through their influence on protein structure, are generally formed between electron-rich π systems and cations (mainly alkali, alkaline-earth metals, and ammonium). Cation-π interactions play an essential role in many biological systems and processes, such as potassium channels, nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, biomolecular recognition and assembly, and the stabilization and function of biomacromolecular structures. Early fundamental studies on cation-π interactions primarily focused on computational calculations, protein crystal structures, and gas- and solid-phase experiments. With the more recent development of spectroscopic and nanomechanical techniques, cation-π interactions can be characterized directly in aqueous media, offering opportunities for the rational manipulation and incorporation of cation-π interactions into the design of supramolecular assemblies. In 2012, we reported the essential role of cation-π interactions in the strong underwater adhesion of Asian green mussel foot proteins deficient in l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) via direct molecular force measurements. In another study in 2013, we reported the experimental quantification and nanomechanics of cation-π interactions of various cations and π electron systems in aqueous solutions using a surface forces apparatus (SFA).Over the past decade, much progress has been achieved in probing cation-π interactions in aqueous solutions, their impact on the underwater adhesion and cohesion of different soft materials, and the fabrication of functional materials driven by cation-π interactions, including surface coatings, complex coacervates, and hydrogels. These studies have demonstrated cation-π interactions as an important driving force for engineering functional materials. Nevertheless, compared to other noncovalent interactions, cation-π interactions are relatively less investigated and underappreciated in governing the structure and function of supramolecular assemblies. Therefore, it is imperative to provide a detailed overview of recent advances in understanding of cation-π interactions for supramolecular assembly, and how these interactions can be used to direct supramolecular assembly for various applications (e.g., underwater adhesion). In this Account, we present very recent advances in probing and applying cation-π interactions for mussel-inspired supramolecular assemblies as well as their structural and functional characteristics. Particular attention is paid to experimental characterization techniques for quantifying cation-π interactions in aqueous solutions. Moreover, the parameters responsible for modulating the strengths of cation-π interactions are discussed. This Account provides useful insights into the design and engineering of smart materials based on cation-π interactions.

Abstract
Translating fundamental studies of marine mussel adhesion into practical mussel-inspired wet adhesives remains an important technological challenge. To adhere, mussels secrete adhesive proteins rich in the catecholic amino acid 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa) and positively charged lysine. Consequently, numerous synthetic adhesives incorporating catecholic and cationic functionalities have been designed. However, despite widespread research, uncertainties remain about the optimal design of synthetic mussel-inspired adhesives. Here, we present a study of the adhesion of mussel-inspired pressure-sensitive adhesives. We explore the effects of catechol content, molecular architecture, and solvent quality on pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) adhesion and cohesion measured in a surface forces apparatus. Our findings demonstrate that the influence of catechol content depends on the choice of solvent and that adhesive performance is dictated by film composition rather than molecular architecture. Our results also highlight the importance of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions for adhesion and cohesion in aqueous environments. Together, our findings contribute to an improved understanding of the interplay between materials chemistry, environmental conditions, and adhesive performance to facilitate the design of bioinspired wet adhesives.

Abstract
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is the main therapeutic method for periodontal tissue regeneration. The key to the GTR strategy is the membrane which can assist the reconstruction of bone tissue in the periodontal defect and prevent the migration of epithelium and fibroblasts to the defect. However, the existing periodontal membrane cannot effectively promote periodontal tissue regeneration due to the limited bioactivity and physicochemical function. Here, we developed a bioinspired degradable polyurethane membrane with Janus surface morphology by integrating bioactive dopamine (DA) and an antibacterial Gemini quaternary ammonium salt (QAS). The Janus surface of the membrane is fabricated through spontaneous microphase separation, resulting from the different migration of functional segments between the air-contact upper surface with enriched antibacterial QAS and the substrate-contact bottom with enriched bioactive DA. The smooth surface of the upper membrane used to face the soft tissues can reduce cell adhesion to suppress the migration of fibroblasts, while the rough surface with a topological micro-pit structure of the bottom side facing the bone has excellent function of autonomic mineralization and cell adhesion to promote bone tissue reconstruction. In addition, the membrane containing the antibacterial QAS shows excellent antibacterial effect on common oral pathogens, such as S. aureus and S. mutans. Moreover, the specific dopamine group also endows the membrane with excellent antioxidant efficiency. In vivo research shows that this Janus polyurethane membrane can effectively promote periodontal tissue regeneration in a rat periodontal defect model. Combined with its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, the polyurethane membrane is a promising material for potential periodontal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
A wealth of chemical bonds and polymers have been studied with single-molecule force spectroscopy, usually by applying a force perpendicular to the anchoring surface. However, the direction-dependence of the bond strength lacks fundamental understanding. Here we establish stereographic force spectroscopy to study the single-bond strength for various pulling angles. Surprisingly, we find that the apparent bond strength increases with increasing pulling angle relative to the anchoring surface normal, indicating a sturdy mechanical anisotropy of a chemical bond. This finding can be rationalized by a fixed pathway for the rupture of the bond, resulting in an effective projection of the applied pulling force onto a nearly fixed rupture direction. Our study is fundamental for the molecular understanding of the role of the direction of force application in molecular adhesion and friction. It is also a prerequisite for the nanoscale tailoring of the anisotropic strength of bottom-up designed materials. Stereographic force spectroscopy reveals that a chemical bond ruptures along a fixed pathway such that the apparent bond strength strongly depends on the angle of force application.![]()

Abstract
Fast and strong bio-adhesives are in high demand for many biomedical applications, including closing wounds in surgeries, fixing implantable devices, and haemostasis. However, most strong bio-adhesives rely on the instant formation of irreversible covalent crosslinks to provide strong surface binding. Repositioning misplaced adhesives during surgical operations may cause severe secondary damage to tissues. Here, we report hydrogel tapes that can form strong physical interactions with tissues in seconds and gradually form covalent bonds in hours. This timescale-dependent adhesion mechanism allows instant and robust wet adhesion to be combined with fault-tolerant convenient surgical operations. Specifically, inspired by the catechol chemistry discovered in mussel foot proteins, we develop an electrical oxidation approach to controllably oxidize catechol to catecholquinone, which reacts slowly with amino groups on the tissue surface. We demonstrate that the tapes show fast and reversible adhesion at the initial stage and ultrastrong adhesion after the formation of covalent linkages over hours for various tissues and electronic devices. Given that the hydrogel tapes are biocompatible, easy to use, and robust for bio-adhesion, we anticipate that they may find broad biomedical and clinical applications.

Abstract
Wounds are one of the most common health issues, and the cost of wound care and healing has continued to increase over the past decade. The first step in wound healing is haemostasis, and the development of haemostatic materials that aid wound healing has accelerated in the past 5 years. Numerous haemostatic materials have been fabricated, composed of different active components (including natural polymers, synthetic polymers, silicon-based materials and metal-containing materials) and in various forms (including sponges, hydrogels, nanofibres and particles). In this Review, we provide an overview of haemostatic materials in wound healing, focusing on their chemical design and operation. We describe the physiological process of haemostasis to elucidate the principles that underpin the design of haemostatic wound dressings. We also highlight the advantages and limitations of the different active components and forms of haemostatic materials. The main challenges and future directions in the development of haemostatic materials for wound healing are proposed.

Abstract
Improving adhesives for wet surfaces is an ongoing challenge. While the adhesive proteins of marine mussels have inspired many synthetic wet adhesives, the mechanisms of mussel adhesion are still not fully understood. Using surface forces apparatus (SFA) measurements and replica-exchange and umbrella-sampling molecular dynamics simulations, we probed the relationships between the sequence, structure, and adhesion of mussel-inspired peptides. Experimental and computational results reveal that peptides derived from mussel foot protein 3 slow (mfp-3s) containing 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (Dopa), a post-translationally modified variant of tyrosine commonly found in mussel foot proteins, form adhesive monolayers on mica. In contrast, peptides with tyrosine adsorb as weakly adhesive clusters. We further considered simulations of mfp-3s derivatives on a range of hydrophobic and hydrophilic organic and inorganic surfaces (including silica, self-assembled monolayers, and a lipid bilayer) and demonstrated that the chemical character of the target surface and proximity of cationic and hydrophobic residues to Dopa affect peptide adsorption and adhesion. Collectively, our results suggest that conversion of tyrosine to Dopa in hydrophobic, sparsely charged peptides influences peptide self-association and ultimately dictates their adhesive performance.

Abstract
Controlling DNA adsorption on nanomaterials is crucial for a wide range of applications in analytical and biomedical sciences. Polydopamine (PDA) is a versatile material that can be coated on nearly any surface, and thus adsorbing DNA onto PDA can be a general method for indirect DNA functionalization of surfaces. Polyvalent metal ions were reported to promote DNA adsorption on PDA nanoparticles (NPs), but previous works added the metal ions after the formation of PDA. Herein, we compared the effect of polyvalent metal ions added during the synthesis of PDA NPs (called metal-doped) with the effect of polyvalent metal ions added after the synthesis (metal-adsorbed). A series of metal ions including Ca2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, Fe3+, and Gd3+ were tested, and Zn2+ was studied in detail due to its excellent ability for promoting DNA adsorption. With 100 μM Zn2+, metal-doped NPs were ∼30% more efficient than metal-adsorbed NPs for DNA adsorption in buffer attributable to a higher metal loading on the surface of the metal-doped NPs. Metal leaching was negligible from the metal-doped NPs, and they showed a remarkably higher robustness than the metal-adsorbed NPs, resulting in a 20-fold higher DNA extraction efficiency from serum. Based on the desorption studies, a higher adsorption affinity for the metal-doped NPs was confirmed. Finally, the Zn2+-doped PDA NPs were used for sensitive DNA detection with a limit of detection of 0.45 nM, and the sensor was highly resistant to nonspecific protein and phosphate displacement.

Abstract
As a kind of natural protein derived material, gelatin has been widely used in the preparation of medical hydrogels due to its good biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and the ability of promoting cell adhesion. Functionalization of gelatin-based hydrogels is a hot topic in research and its clinic application. Herein, a novel gelatin-based adhesive hydrogel was prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry. Gelatin was firstly functionalized by dopamine to form dopamine grafted gelatin (GelDA). After the mixture with 1,4-phenylenebisboronic acid and graphene oxide (GO), the GelDA/GO hydrogels were obtained by H2O2/HRP (horseradish peroxidase) catalytic system. Based on the self-healing and tissue adhesion of the hydrogels, the hemostatic property has been exhibited in the rat hepatic hemorrhage model. Additionally, the incorporation of GO endowed conductivity and enhanced the mechanical property of GelDA/GO hydrogels. The electromyography (EMG) signals of finger movement were successfully monitored by using hydrogel as the adhesive electrodes of EMG monitor. L929 cell experiments showed that the hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. The results indicated the potential application of GelDA/GO hydrogels in tissue adhesives, wound dressings, and wearable devices.

Abstract
Joints that connect thermoplastic polymer matrices (TPMs) and metals, which are obtained by comolding, are of growing importance in numerous applications. The overall performance of these constructs is strongly impacted by the TPM-metal interfacial strength, which can be tuned by tailoring the surface chemistry of the metal prior to the comolding process. In the present work, a model TPM-metal system consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and titanium is used to prepare comolded joints. The interfacial adhesion is quantified by wire pullout experiments. Pullout tests prior to and following surface modification are performed and analyzed. Unmodified wires show poor interfacial strength, with a work of adhesion (Ga) value of 3.8 J m-2. To enhance interfacial adhesion, a biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) layer is first deposited on titanium followed by a second layer of a poly(methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid) (P(MMA-co-MAA)) copolymer prior to comolding. During processing, the MAA moieties of the copolymer thermally react with PDA, forming amide bonds, while MMA promotes the formation of secondary bonds and molecular interdigitation with the PMMA matrix. Control testing reveals that neither PDA nor the copolymer provides a substantial increase in adhesion. However, when used in combination, a significant increase in adhesion is detected. This observation indicates a pronounced synergistic effect between the two layers that strengthens the PMMA-titanium bonding. Enhanced adhesion is optimized by tuning the MMA-to-MAA ratio of the copolymer, which shows a maximum at a 24% MAA content and a greatly increased Ga value of 155 J m-2; this value corresponds to a 40-fold increase. Further growth in the Ga values at higher MAA contents is hindered by the thermal cross-linking of MAA; MAA contents above 24% restrict the formation of secondary bonds and molecular interdigitation with the PMMA chains. Our results provide new design principles to produce thermoplastic-metal comolded joints with strong interfaces.

Abstract
We suggest a simple idea of bio-based adhesives with strong adhesion even under water. The adhesives simply prepared via polycondensation of 3,4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid (DHHCA) and lactic acid (LA) in one pot polymerization. Poly(DHHCA-co-LA) has a hyperbranched structure and demonstrated strong dry and wet adhesion strength on diverse material surfaces. We found that their adhesion strength depended on the concentration of DHHCA. Poly(DHHCA-co-LA) with the lowest concentration of DHHCA showed the highest adhesion strength in water with a value of 2.7 MPa between glasses, while with the highest concentration of DHHCA it exhibited the highest dry adhesion strength with a value of 3.5 MPa, which was comparable to commercial instant super glue. Compared to underwater glues reported previously, our adhesives were able to spread rapidly under water with a low viscosity and worked strongly. Poly(DHHCA-co-LA) also showed long-term stability and kept wet adhesion strength of 2.2 MPa after steeping in water for 1 month at room temperature (initial strength was 2.4 MPa). In this paper, Poly(DHHCA-co-LA) with strong dry and wet adhesion properties and long-term stability was demonstrated for various kinds of applications, especially for wet conditions.

Abstract
Recently, hydrogel-based conductive materials and their applications as smart wearable devices have been paid tremendous attention due to their high stretchability, flexibility, and excellent biocompatibility. Compared with single functional conductive hydrogels, multifunctional conductive hydrogels are more advantageous to match various demands for practical applications. This review focuses on multifunctional conductive hydrogels applied for smart wearable devices. Representative strategies for conduction of hydrogels are discussed firstly: (1) electronic conduction based on the conductive fillers and (2) ionic conduction based on charged ions. Then, the common and intensive research on multiple functionalities of conductive hydrogels, such as mechanical properties, conductive and sensory properties, anti-freezing and moisturizing properties, and adhesion and self-healing properties is presented. The applications of multifunctional conductive hydrogels such as in human motion sensors, sensory skins, and personal healthcare diagnosis are provided in the third part. Finally, we offer our perspective on open challenges and future areas of interest for multifunctional conductive hydrogels used as smart wearable devices.
