Abstract
This research focuses on the synthesis of hydrogels exhibiting enhanced antioxidant properties derived from hyaluronic acid (HA) and poly(ethylene brassylate-co-squaric acid) (PEBSA), a copolymacrolactone that have the ability to be used in drug delivery applications. Quercetin (Q), a bioflavonoid with strong antioxidant properties, is employed as a bioactive compound. The biomolecule is encapsulated in the polymeric network using different entrapment techniques, including the initial formation of a complex between PEBSA and Q, which is demonstrated through the dynamic light scattering technique. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and rheological studies confirm the formation of the hydrogels, revealing the occurrence of physical interactions between the synthetic polymer and the polysaccharide. Moreover, the hydrogels demonstrate biocompatible properties after direct contact with the HDFa cell line and antioxidant properties, as revealed by DPPH tests.

Abstract
This comprehensive review delves into the world of hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels, exploring their creation, characteristics, research methodologies, and uses. HA hydrogels stand out among natural polysaccharides due to their distinct features. Their exceptional biocompatibility makes them a top choice for diverse biomedical purposes, with a great ability to coexist harmoniously with living cells and tissues. Furthermore, their biodegradability permits their gradual breakdown by bodily enzymes, enabling the creation of temporary frameworks for tissue engineering endeavors. Additionally, since HA is a vital component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in numerous tissues, HA hydrogels can replicate the ECM's structure and functions. This mimicry is pivotal in tissue engineering applications by providing an ideal setting for cellular growth and maturation. Various cross-linking techniques like chemical, physical, enzymatic, and hybrid methods impact the mechanical strength, swelling capacity, and degradation speed of the hydrogels. Assessment tools such as rheological analysis, electron microscopy, spectroscopy, swelling tests, and degradation studies are employed to examine their attributes. HA-based hydrogels feature prominently in tissue engineering, drug distribution, wound recovery, ophthalmology, and cartilage mending. Crafting HA hydrogels enables the production of biomaterials with sought-after qualities, offering avenues for advancements in the realm of biomedicine.

Abstract
This article has focused on collagen-gelatin, the gelation process, as well as blend interaction between collagen/gelatin with various polysaccharides to boost mucoadhesion and gastric retention. The interaction between mucoadhesive materials and mucin layers is of significant interest in the development of drug delivery systems and biomedical applications for effective targeting and prolonged time in the gastrointestinal tract. This paper reviews the current advancement and mucoadhesive properties of collagen/gelatin and different polysaccharide complexes concerning the mucin layer and interactions are briefly highlighted. Collagen/gelatin and polysaccharide blends biocompatible and biodegradable, the complex biomolecules have shown encouraging mucoadhesive properties due to their cationic nature and ability to form hydrogen bonds with mucin glycoproteins. The mucoadhesion mechanism was attributed to the electrostatic interactions between the positively charged amino (NH2) groups of blend biopolymers and the negatively charged sialic acid residues present in mucin glycoprotein. At the end of this article, the encouraging prospect of collagen/polysaccharide complex and mucin glycoprotein is highlighted.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA), an extracellular biopolymer found throughout the human body, holds promise as a biocompatible and biodegradable scaffold material. High molecular weight (HMW) HA degrades, generating low molecular weight (LMW) fragments with distinct properties. These fragments can influence the behaviour of cells, including human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs) incorporated into HA-containing hydrogels or scaffolds. Therefore, a comprehensive examination of the impact of a range of HA molecular weights on hDPSCs is essential before designing HA-based scaffolds for these cells. hDPSC lines were cultured with LMW HA (800 Da, 1600 Da, 15 kDa), medium molecular weight HA (237 kDa), or HMW HA (1500 kDa) over six passages. The various molecular weights had negligible effects on hDPSCs viability, morphology, adhesion, or relative telomere length. Furthermore, the expression of key surface stemness markers (CD29, CD44, CD73, CD90) remained unaltered. HA did not induce osteogenic, chondrogenic, or adipogenic differentiation. Moreover, the potential for chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation was not adversely affected by LMW or HMW HA. Various molecular weights of HA seem safe, biocompatible and therefore suitable components for hDPSCs-containing scaffolds. These findings affirm that the hDPCSs will not be negatively affected by HA fragments resulting from scaffold degradation.

Abstract
3D-printed artificial skeletal muscle, which mimics the structural and functional characteristics of native skeletal muscle, is a promising treatment method for muscle reconstruction. Although various fabrication techniques for skeletal muscle using 3D bio-printers are studied, it is still challenging to build a functional muscle structure. A strategy using microvalve-assisted coaxial 3D bioprinting in consideration of functional skeletal muscle fabrication is reported. The unit (artificial muscle fascicle: AMF) of muscle mimetic tissue is composed of a core filled with medium-based C2C12 myoblast aggregates as a role of muscle fibers and a photo cross-linkable hydrogel-based shell as a role of connective tissue in muscles that enhances printability and cell adhesion and proliferation. Especially, a microvalve system is applied for the core part with even cell distribution and strong cell-cell interaction. This system enhances myotube formation and consequently shows spontaneous contraction. A multi-printed AMF (artificial muscle tissue: AMT) as a piece of muscle is implanted into the anterior tibia (TA) muscle defect site of immunocompromised rats. As a result, the TA-implanted AMT responds to electrical stimulation and represents histologically regenerated muscle tissue. This microvalve-assisted coaxial 3D bioprinting shows a significant step forward to mimicking native skeletal muscle tissue.

Microfluidic-templated cell-laden microgels fabricated using phototriggered imine-crosslinking as injectable and adaptable granular gels for bone regeneration. Acta Biomater 2023; 157:91-107. [PMID: 36427687 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2022.11.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Injectable granular gels consisting of densely packed microgels serving as scaffolding biomaterial have recently shown great potential for applications in tissue regeneration, which allow administration via minimally invasive surgery, on-target cargo delivery, and high efficiency in nutrient/waste exchange. However, limitations such as insufficient mechanical strength, structural integrity, and uncontrollable differentiation of the encapsulated cells in the scaffolds hamper their further applications in the biomedical field. Herein, we developed a new class of granular gels via bottom-up assembly of cell-laden microgels via photo-triggered imine-crosslinking (PIC) chemistry based on the microfluidic technique. The particulate nature of the granular gels rendered them with shear-thinning and self-healing behavior, thereby functioning as an injectable and adaptable cellularized scaffold for bone tissue regeneration. Specifically, single cell-laden, monodisperse microgels composed of methacrylate- and o-nitrobenzene-functionalized hyaluronic acid and gelatin were prepared using a high-throughput microfluidic technique with a production rate up to 3.7 × 108 microgels/hr, wherein the PIC chemistry alleviated the oxygen inhibition on free-radical polymerization and facilitated enhanced fabrication accuracy, accelerated gelation rate, and improved network strength. Further in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that the microgels can serve as carriers to support the activity of the encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells; these cell-laden microgels can also be used as cellularized bone fillers to induce the regeneration of bone tissues as evidenced by the in vivo experiment using the rat femoral condyle defect model. In general, these results represent a significant step toward the precise fabrication of engineered tissue mimics with single-cell resolution and high cell-density and can potentially offer a powerful tool for the design and applications of a next generation of tissue engineering strategy. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Using microfluidic droplet-based technology, we hereby developed a new class of injectable and moldable granular gels via bottom-up assembly of cell-laden microgels as a versatile platform for tissue regeneration. Phototriggered imine-crosslinking chemistry was introduced for microgel cross-linkage, which allowed for the fabrication of microgels with improved matrix homogeneity, accelerated gelation process, and enhanced mechanical strength. We demonstrated that the microgel building blocks within the granular gels facilitated the proliferation and differentiation of the encapsulated mesenchymal stem cells, which can further serve as a cellularized scaffold for the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
The cellular microenvironment plays a major role in the biological functions of cells. Thus, biomaterials, especially hydrogels, which can be design to mimic the cellular microenvironment, are being increasingly used for cell encapsulation, delivery, and 3D culture, with the hope of controlling cell functions. Yet, much remains to be understood about the effects of cell-material interactions, and advanced synthetic strategies need to be developed to independently control the mechanical and biochemical properties of hydrogels. To address this challenge, we designed a new hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogel platform using a click and bioorthogonal strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) reaction. This approach facilitates the synthesis of hydrogels that are easy to synthesize and sterilize, have minimal swelling, are stable long term, and are cytocompatible. It provides bioorthogonal HA gels over an uncommonly large range of stiffness (0.5-45 kPa), all forming within 1-15 min. More importantly, our approach offers a versatile one-pot procedure to independently tune the hydrogel composition (e.g., polymer and adhesive peptides). Using this platform, we investigate the independent effects of polymer type, stiffness, and adhesion on the secretory properties of human adipose-derived stromal cells (hASCs) and demonstrate that HA can enhance the secretion of immunomodulatory factors by hASCs.

With the help of mRNA microarray technology, it was found that short rod-like nanohydroxyapatite (nHA) promoted the upregulation of CD274 and PD-L1 related gene transcription, which was confirmed by the significantly enhanced PD-L1 expression level in B16, B16F10, and 4T1 cells in vitro. Hence, an injectable in situ responsive hydrogel reservoir embed with nHA and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor was engineered for a combination immunotherapy by peritumoral administration. The results confirmed that the combinational strategy effectively suppressed tumorigenesis and tumor growth, recovered the abnormal lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase indicators, and significantly elongated the life span of a tumor-bearing mouse. The substantive progress mainly derived from nHA-induced T cell infiltration reinforcement in a tumor site and CD8+ T cell polarization in spleen, implying that nHA might function as an immunomodulator for melanoma immunotherapy.

Abstract
Recent advances in materials science and engineering highlight the importance of designing sophisticated biomaterials with well-defined architectures and tunable properties for emerging biomedical applications. Click chemistry, a powerful method allowing specific and controllable bioorthogonal reactions, has revolutionized our ability to make complex molecular structures with a high level of specificity, selectivity, and yield under mild conditions. These features combined with minimal byproduct formation have enabled the design of a wide range of macromolecular architectures from quick and versatile click reactions. Furthermore, copper-free click chemistry has resulted in a change of paradigm, allowing researchers to perform highly selective chemical reactions in biological environments to further understand the structure and function of cells. In living systems, introducing clickable groups into biomolecules such as polysaccharides (PSA) has been explored as a general approach to conduct medicinal chemistry and potentially help solve healthcare needs. De novo biosynthetic pathways for chemical synthesis have also been exploited and optimized to perform PSA-based bioconjugation inside living cells without interfering with their native processes or functions. This strategy obviates the need for laborious and costly chemical reactions which normally require extensive and time-consuming purification steps. Using these approaches, various PSA-based macromolecules have been manufactured as building blocks for the design of novel biomaterials. Clickable PSA provides a powerful and versatile toolbox for biomaterials scientists and will increasingly play a crucial role in the biomedical field. Specifically, bioclick reactions with PSA have been leveraged for the design of advanced drug delivery systems and minimally invasive injectable hydrogels. In this review article, we have outlined the key aspects and breadth of PSA-derived bioclick reactions as a powerful and versatile toolbox to design advanced polymeric biomaterials for biomedical applications such as molecular imaging, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Additionally, we have also discussed the past achievements, present developments, and recent trends of clickable PSA-based biomaterials such as 3D printing, as well as their challenges, clinical translatability, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Topical antimicrobial treatments are often ineffective on recalcitrant and resistant skin infections. This necessitates the design of antimicrobials that are less susceptible to resistance mechanisms, as well as the development of appropriate delivery systems. These two issues represent a great challenge for researchers in pharmaceutical and drug discovery fields. Here, we defined the therapeutic properties of a novel peptidomimetic inspired by an antimicrobial sequence encrypted in human apolipoprotein B. The peptidomimetic was found to exhibit antimicrobial and anti-biofilm properties at concentration values ranging from 2.5 to 20 µmol L−1, to be biocompatible toward human skin cell lines, and to protect human keratinocytes from bacterial infections being able to induce a reduction of bacterial units by two or even four orders of magnitude with respect to untreated samples. Based on these promising results, a hyaluronic-acid-based hydrogel was devised to encapsulate and to specifically deliver the selected antimicrobial agent to the site of infection. The developed hydrogel-based system represents a promising, effective therapeutic option by combining the mechanical properties of the hyaluronic acid polymer with the anti-infective activity of the antimicrobial peptidomimetic, thus opening novel perspectives in the treatment of skin infections.

Abstract
In situ forming hydrogels with strong adhesive strength and antibacterial activity are of great interest to serve as tissue adhesive in fields like wound dressing and mass hemorrhage. In this study, hybrid hydrogel (GOHA) based on gelatin and oxidized hyaluronic acid was developed and endowed with excellent mechanical strength and tissue adhesion. According to our results, GOHA hydrogel exhibits a fast gelation time of around 60 s, robust compression strength of 223.43 ± 24.28 kPa, and strong adhesion of 14.33 ± 0.78 kPa to porcine skin, which is much higher than that of commercial fibrin glue (around 1.00 kPa). Meanwhile, through the loading of levofloxacin, obvious antibacterial activity can be obtained for wider applications. Notably, it would not compromise the hemocompatibility and cytocompatibility in vitro. In summary, this kind of hybrid hydrogel shows great potential as tissue adhesive in biomedical fields.

Abstract
Biodegradable nanoparticles and micelles are promising nanosystems for the targeted delivery of potent anticancer drugs. By using specialized polymers as nanocarriers, targeted drug delivery and release can be developed. We developed thiol-hyaluronic acid (HA-SH)/chitosan (CS) nanoparticles with redox/pH dual-responsiveness via electrostatic self-assembly followed by spontaneous chemical cross-linking. The nanoparticle surface charges were reversible through different HA-SH and CS mass ratios. Doxorubicin (DOX) was used as a model drug. Dual cross-linked nanoparticles with diameters of approximately 300 nm exhibited superior stability under physiological conditions compared with nanoparticles without disulfide cross-linking. DOX was loaded more efficiently into negative nanoparticles (45.7 wt%) than positive nanoparticles (14.2 wt%). Drug release from negative nanoparticles (ζ potential of approximately -20) was higher (87.8 wt%) at pH 4.5 and in the presence of 10 mM glutathione. Positive nanoparticles (ζ potential of approximately +20) showed the same trend, but the release rate was slower than that of negative nanoparticles. DOX-loaded HA-SH/CS particles were taken up by human breast cancer cells (SKBR3), and the loaded drug was released, exhibiting potential antitumor efficacy. The HA-SH/CS nanoparticles in this study were stable under physiological conditions and are promising candidates for the targeted delivery and release of anticancer drugs.

Abstract
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a progressive articular degenerative disease that degrades articular cartilage and stimulates apoptosis in chondrocyte cells. An injectable decellularized, extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold, that might be able to combat the effects of PTOA, was developed where the ECM was conjugated with 20 nm gold nanoparticles (AuNP) and supplemented with curcumin and hyaluronic acid (HA). Porcine diaphragm ECM was decellularized and homogenized; AuNPs were conjugated using chemical crosslinking followed by mixing with curcumin and/or HA. Injection force testing and scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were utilized to characterize the ECM scaffolds. In vitro testing with L929 murine fibroblasts, equine synovial fibroblasts, and Human Chondrocytes were used to determine biocompatibility, reactive oxygen species (ROS) reduction, and chondroprotective ability. The results demonstrated that conjugation of 20 nm AuNPs to the ECM was successful without significantly altering the physical properties as noted in the low injection force. In vitro work provided evidence of biocompatibility with a propensity to reduce intracellular ROS and an ability to mitigate apoptosis of chondrocyte cells stimulated with IL-1β, a known apoptosis inducing cytokine. It was concluded that an injectable AuNP-ECM may have the ability to mitigate inflammation and apoptosis.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels display a wide variety of biomedical applications ranging from tissue engineering to drug vehiculization and controlled release. To date, most of the commercially available hyaluronic acid hydrogel formulations are produced under conditions that are not compatible with physiological ones. This review compiles the currently used approaches for the development of hyaluronic acid hydrogels under physiological/mild conditions. These methods include dynamic covalent processes such as boronic ester and Schiff-base formation and click chemistry mediated reactions such as thiol chemistry processes, azide-alkyne, or Diels Alder cycloaddition. Thermoreversible gelation of HA hydrogels at physiological temperature is also discussed. Finally, the most outstanding biomedical applications are indicated for each of the HA hydrogel generation approaches.

Abstract
Thiomers (or thiolated polymers) have broken through as avant-garde approaches in anticancer therapy. Their distinguished reactivity and properties, closely linked to their final applications, justify the extensive research conducted on their preparation and use as smart drug-delivery systems (DDSs). Multiple studies have demonstrated that thiomer-rich nanoformulations can overcome major drawbacks found when administering diverse active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), especially in cancer therapy. This work focuses on providing a complete and concise review of the synthetic tools available to thiolate cationic and anionic polymers, in particular chitosan (CTS) and hyaluronic acid (HA), respectively, drawing attention to the most successful procedures. Their chemical reactivity and most relevant properties regarding their use in anticancer formulations are also discussed. In addition, a variety of NP formation procedures are outlined, as well as their use in cancer therapy, particularly for taxanes and siRNA. It is expected that the current work could clarify the main synthetic strategies available, with their scope and drawbacks, as well as provide some insight into thiomer chemistry. Therefore, this review can inspire new research strategies in the development of efficient formulations for the treatment of cancer.

Abstract
Dynamic covalently crosslinking (DCC) hydrogels can mimic extracellular matrix and have the functions such as self-healing, self-adapting, and shape memory. The DCC keratin hydrogels based on thiol group-disulfide bonds exchange strategy have no reports so far as we know. Herein, inspired by the rich content of the intramolecular disulfide bonds and free thiol groups in the keratins extracted by reducing agents, we report a simple thiol-disulfide bonds exchange strategy for preparing the DCC keratin hydrogels. While the pH value of the keratin solution extracted by reducing agents was adjusted to 9.5-10.0, the keratin hydrogels showed the characteristic with injectability, self-healing, self-adapting, biocompatibility, and redox-responsive capacity. The extracted type II neutral/alkali keratin plays a critical role in imparting the keratin hydrogels with the reversibility behaviors due to that the keratins could build dynamic covalent bonds through thiol oxidation and disulfide exchange reactions in alkali conditions. This strategy provides an inspiration for forming DCC keratin hydrogel by avoiding the extra introduction of chemical crosslinking agents.

The N,O-CS/ODA hydrogels have a good suitable gelation time, good cytocompatibility and hemocompatibility, good antibacterial activity, excellent biodegradable and biocompatible, and can effectively inhibit the adhesion of fibroblasts to the wound, thereby suggesting that N,O-CS/ODA hydrogels are suitable for preventing post-operative adhesion. Meanwhile, a rat injury sidewall-cecum abrasion model is developed to investigate the efficacy of these hydrogels in achieving post-operative anti-adhesion. A significant reduction of peritoneal adhesions (10% rat with lower score adhesion) is observed in the N,O-CS/ODA-hydrogel-treated group compared with the commercial hydrogel and control groups. These results demonstrated that N,O-CS/ODA hydrogel could effectively prevent post-operative peritoneal adhesion without side effects. Therefore, the N,O-CS/ODA hydrogels with multi-functional properties exhibit great potential for the prevention and treatment of postoperative adhesion.

Generating adipose stem cell-laden hyaluronic acid-based scaffolds using 3D bioprinting via the double crosslinked strategy for chondrogenesis. MATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING. C, MATERIALS FOR BIOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS 2021; 124:112072. [PMID: 33947564 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2021.112072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Bioprinting of most cell-laden hydrogel scaffolds with the required structural integrity, mechanical modulus, cell adhesion, cell compatibility, and chondrogenic differentiation are still significant issues that affect the application of bioinks in cartilage tissue engineering. This study focuses on constructing printable bioinks by combining adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels and analyzing their ability to induce chondrogenesis using 3D bioprinting technology. First, biotinylated hyaluronic acid was synthesized via an adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) linker with amide bond formation to form HA-biotin (HAB). Both HAB and the as-received streptavidin were mixed to form a partially cross-linked HA-biotin-streptavidin (HBS) hydrogel through noncovalent bonding. After that, the partially cross-linked HBS hydrogel was mixed with sodium alginate and subsequently printed to form the HBSA hydrogel 3D scaffolds using a bioprinter. Finally, the 3D scaffolds of the HBSA (HBS + alginate) hydrogel were submerged into CaCl2 solution to achieve a stable 3D HBSAC (HBSA + Ca2+) hydrogel scaffold through ion transfer crosslinking. The physical-chemical characteristics of the hybrid bioink compositions have been evaluated to determine the desired 3D bioprinting structure. Cytotoxicity and chondrogenic differentiation were also assessed to confirm that the double cross-linked HBSAC hydrogel scaffold was useful for chondrogenic formation. The results showed that partially crosslinking the biotinylated HA-based hydrogel with streptavidin has a significant effect on printability and structural integrity. Morphological analysis of a suitable 3D printed HBSAC hydrogel scaffold showed visible pores with the desired shape and geometry. We have concluded that the HBSAC hydrogel possesses a favorable biocompatibility profile. The HBSAC hydrogel can also secrete significantly higher amounts of chondrogenic marker genes at day 5 and sulfated glycosaminoglycans (sGAGs) from days 7 to 14 compared to the HA hydrogel, as determined via quantitative real-time PCR assay and Alcian blue staining and the DMMB assay.

Abstract
In situ forming hydrogels that can be injected into tissues in a minimally-invasive fashion are appealing as delivery vehicles for tissue engineering applications. Ideally, these hydrogels should have mechanical properties matching those of the host tissue, and a rate of degradation adapted for neo-tissue formation. Here, the development of in situ forming hyaluronic acid hydrogels based on the pH-triggered condensation of silicon alkoxide precursors into siloxanes is reported. Upon solubilization and pH adjustment, the low-viscosity precursor solutions are easily injectable through fine-gauge needles prior to in situ gelation. Tunable mechanical properties (stiffness from 1 to 40 kPa) and associated tunable degradability (from 4 days to more than 3 weeks in vivo) are obtained by varying the degree of silanization (from 4.3% to 57.7%) and molecular weight (120 and 267 kDa) of the hyaluronic acid component. Following cell encapsulation, high cell viability (> 80%) is obtained for at least 7 days. Finally, the in vivo biocompatibility of silanized hyaluronic acid gels is verified in a subcutaneous mouse model and a relationship between the inflammatory response and the crosslink density is observed. Silanized hyaluronic acid hydrogels constitute a tunable hydrogel platform for material-assisted cell therapies and tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Although there have been many reports on the use of crosslinked hyaluronic acid and gelatin derivatives as injectable hydrogels in cartilage tissue engineering, however, almost no reports have analyzed the kinds of bonding intensity that were most conducive for the maintenance of cartilage phenotypes. Herein, the biomimetic composite hydrogels based on thiolated hyaluronic acid and modified gelatin derivatives with physical mixed, weak, and strong bonding intensity were fabricated, wherein the thiolated hyaluronic acid ensured the basic network structure of composite hydrogels, and gelatin derivatives endowed the bioactivity to hydrogels. These physicochemical properties of composite hydrogels implied that strong bonding intensity (HA-GSH) contributed to the maintenance of a more uniform pore structure, and increased the ability of water retention and resistance to degradation. Further immunohistochemical and RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that the HA-GSH hydrogel greatly improved the expression level of the associated cartilage matrix and the possibility of hyaline cartilage formation in comparison to the physically blended HA-Gel gel and weak bonding crosslinked HA-GMA gel. Overall, all results proved that strong bonding intensity of the disulfide bonds in the HA-GSH hydrogel was more beneficial for the proliferation of chondrocytes and the maintenance of the hyaline cartilage phenotype, which might provide valuable inspiration for designing cartilage repair scaffolds.

Abstract
Hyaluronic acid, as a natural linear polysaccharide, has attracted researchers' attention from its initial detection and isolation from tissues in 1934 until the present day. Due to biocompatibility and a high biodegradation of hyaluronic acid, it finds wide application in bioengineering and biomedicine: from biorevitalizing skin cosmetics and endoprostheses of joint fluid to polymeric scaffolds and wound dressings. However, the main properties of aqueous polysaccharide solutions with different molecular weights are different. Moreover, the therapeutic effect of hyaluronic acid-based preparations directly depends on the molecular weight of the biopolymer. The present review collects the information about relations between the molecular weight of hyaluronic acid and its original properties. Particular emphasis is placed on the structural, physical and physico-chemical properties of hyaluronic acid in water solutions, as well as their degradability.

Abstract
Injectable hydrogels have attracted increasing attention because of convenient clinical operation, non-invasive surgical procedure and seamless filling of irregular defects. Here, injectable di-self-crosslinking HSMSSA hydrogel was formed via fast thiol/maleimide click chemistry reaction and thiol oxidation reaction as primary and secondary self-crosslinking network, respectively. Molecular weight and precursor concentration significantly affected physichemical properties and biological functions of hydrogels. Although single HSMSSA gel (0.1 M Da, 10 mg/mL) had moderate injectability, preferable mechanical properties and good proliferative ability of chondrocytes in vitro, and could greatly promote cartilaginous tissue formation in vivo, the lack of adhesion sites resulted in an untenable situation in maintaining effective connections among newborn cell clusters. However, the biomimetic injectable di-self-crosslinking blend hydrogel by combing injectable HSMSSA and bioactive Col I had improved resistance to degradation, chondrocytes adhesion and proliferation, especially for multiples ascending genes expression level associated with hyaline cartilage formation and polyproteoglycan secretion, which might be a potential clinical treatment strategy for constructing injectable cartilage repair filler by combining expanded autologous chondrocytes.

Abstract
The combination of bioactive hydroxyapatite (HAp) with biomimetic bone matrix biomaterials as bone filling scaffolds is a promising strategy for bone regeneration, but the undesirable dispersion of HAp and its interfacial interaction result in inefficient mineralization, mechanical instability, incomplete osteointegration, and even repair failure. Herein, the size dispersion and stabilization of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp) in aqueous media were obviously improved by hydrophilic solubilisation and strong negatively charged thiolated hyaluronic acid (HA-SH). Furthermore, the highly interweaved HA-SS-nHAp/collagen hybrid fibering hydrogel exhibited significantly improved mechanical properties and structural stability due to its thickened and densified interweaved fiber network, which ensured the homogeneous dispersion of nHAp in the matrix materials and its integration with the hydrogel network structure completely by covalent self-crosslinking among the sulfhydryl groups derived from the free HA-SH polymer and the mercapto functional groups on the surface of nHAp. Compared with the physically combined micro-hydroxyapatite (μHAp) (d≤25 μm) and nHAp (∼530 nm) with injectable bionic HA-SH and collagen type I biopolymers, HA-SS-nHAp/collagen achieved the maximum efficiency in facilitating rabbit bone marrow stromal cell (rBMSC) adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in vitro. The in vivo murine dorsal subcutaneous implantation results further confirmed that the interweaved fiber network structure in HA-SS-nHAp/collagen significantly promoted osteoinductivity and mineralization. This work provides novel insights for the development of new low invasive bone filling biomaterials.

Abstract
Commercial or clinical tissue adhesives are currently limited due to their weak bonding strength on wet biological tissue surface, low biological compatibility, and slow adhesion formation. Although catechol-modified hyaluronic acid (HA) adhesives are developed, they suffer from limitations: insufficient adhesiveness and overfast degradation, attributed to low substitution of catechol groups. In this study, we demonstrate a simple and efficient strategy to prepare mussel-inspired HA hydrogel adhesives with improved degree of substitution of catechol groups. Because of the significantly increased grafting ratio of catechol groups, dopamine-conjugated dialdehyde-HA (DAHA) hydrogels exhibit excellent tissue adhesion performance (i.e., adhesive strength of 90.0 ± 6.7 kPa), which are significantly higher than those found in dopamine-conjugated HA hydrogels (∼10 kPa), photo-cross-linkable HA hydrogels (∼13 kPa), or commercially available fibrin glues (2-40 kPa). At the same time, their maximum adhesion energy is 384.6 ± 26.0 J m-2, which also is 40-400-fold, 2-40-fold, and ∼8-fold higher than those of the mussel-based adhesive, cyanoacrylate, and fibrin glues, respectively. Moreover, the hydrogels can gel rapidly within 60 s and have a tunable degradation suitable for tissue regeneration. Together with their cytocompatibility and good cell adhesion, they are promising materials as new biological adhesives.
