Abstract
Chronic wound treatment has emerged as a significant healthcare concern worldwide due to its substantial economic burden and the limited effectiveness of current treatments. Effective management of biofilm infections, regulation of excessive oxidative stress, and promotion of tissue regeneration are crucial for addressing chronic wounds. Hydrogel stands out as a promising candidate for chronic wound treatment. However, its clinical application is hindered by the difficulty in designing and fabricating easily and conveniently. To overcome these obstacles, we present a supermolecular G-quadruplex hydrogel with the desired multifunction via a dynamic covalent strategy and Hoogsteen-type hydrogen bonding. The G-quadruplex hydrogel is made from the self-assembly of guanosine, 2-formylphenyboronic acid, polyethylenimine, and potassium chloride, employing dynamic covalent strategy and Hoogsteen-type hydrogen bonding. In the acidic/oxidative microenvironment associated with bacterial infections, the hydrogel undergoes controlled degradation, releasing the polyethylenimine domain, which effectively eliminates bacteria. Furthermore, nanocomplexes comprising guanosine monophosphate and manganese sulfate are incorporated into the hydrogel skeleton, endowing it with the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species and modulate macrophages. Additionally, the integration of basic fibroblast growth factor into the G-quadruplex skeleton through dynamic covalent bonds facilitates controlled tissue regeneration. In summary, the facile preparation process and the incorporation of multiple functionalities render the G-quadruplex hydrogel a highly promising candidate for advanced wound dressing. It holds great potential to transition from laboratory research to clinical practice, addressing the pressing needs of chronic wound management.

Abstract
Photothermal therapies (PTT), with spatiotemporally controllable antibacterial capabilities without inducing resistance, have shown encouraging prospects in the field of infected wound treatments. As an important platform for PTT, photothermal hydrogels exhibit attractive advantages in the field of infected wound treatment due to their excellent biochemical properties and have been intensively explored in recent years. This review summarizes the progress of the photothermal hydrogels for promoting infected wound healing. Three major elements of photothermal hydrogels, i.e., photothermal materials, hydrogel matrix, and construction methods, are introduced. Furthermore, different strategies of photothermal hydrogels in the treatment of infected wounds are summarized. Finally, the challenges and prospects in the clinical treatment of photothermal hydrogels are discussed.

Polysaccharide-based hydrogel has excellent biochemical function, abundant sources, good biocompatibility and other advantages, and has a broad application prospect in biomedical fields, especially in the field of wound healing. With its inherent high specificity and low invasive burden, photothermal therapy has shown great application prospect in preventing wound infection and promoting wound healing. Combining polysaccharide-based hydrogel with photothermal therapy (PTT), multifunctional hydrogel with photothermal, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration functions can be designed, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect. This review first focuses on the basic principles of hydrogel and PTT, and the types of polysaccharides that can be used to design hydrogels. In addition, according to the different materials that produce photothermal effects, the design considerations of several representative polysaccharide-based hydrogels are emphatically introduced. Finally, the challenges faced by polysaccharide-based hydrogels with photothermal properties are discussed, and the future prospects of this field are put forward.
