Abstract
Lactylation (Kla), a recently discovered post-translational modification derived from lactate, plays crucial roles in various cellular processes. However, the specific influence of lactylation on the biological processes underlying hypertrophic scar formation remains unclear. In this study, we present a comprehensive profiling of the lactylome and proteome in both hypertrophic scars and adjacent normal skin tissues. A total of 1023 Kla sites originating from 338 nonhistone proteins were identified based on lactylome analysis. Proteome analysis in hypertrophic scar and adjacent skin samples revealed the identification of 2008 proteins. It is worth noting that Kla exhibits a preference for genes associated with ribosome function as well as glycolysis/gluconeogenesis in both normal skin and hypertrophic scar tissues. Furthermore, the functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that differentially lactyled proteins are primarily involved in proteoglycans, HIF-1, and AMPK signaling pathways. The combined analysis of the lactylome and proteome data highlighted a significant upregulation of 14 lactylation sites in hypertrophic scar tissues. Overall, our investigation unveiled the significant involvement of protein lactylation in the regulation of ribosome function as well as glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, potentially contributing to the formation of hypertrophic scars.

Abstract
The limitations of protein-based hydrogels, including their insufficient mechanical properties and restricted biological functions, arise from the highly specific functions of proteins as natural building blocks. A potential solution to overcome these shortcomings is the development of protein-protein hydrogels, which integrate structural and functional proteins. In this study, a protein-protein hydrogel formed by crosslinking bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a genetically engineered intrinsically disordered collagen-like protein (CLP) through Ag─S bonding is introduced. The approach involves thiolating lysine residues of BSA and crosslinking CLP with Ag+ ions, utilizing thiolation of BSA and the free-cysteines of CLP. The resulting protein-protein hydrogels exhibit exceptional properties, including notable plasticity, inherent self-healing capabilities, and gel-sol transition in response to redox conditions. In comparison to standalone BSA hydrogels, these protein-protein hydrogels demonstrate enhanced cellular viability, and improved cellular migration. In vivo experiments provide conclusive evidence of accelerated wound healing, observed not only in murine models with streptozotocin (Step)-induced diabetes but also in zebrafish models subjected to UV-burn injuries. Detailed mechanistic insights, combined with assessments of proinflammatory cytokines and the expression of epidermal differentiation-related proteins, robustly validate the protein-protein hydrogel's effectiveness in promoting wound repair.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar. Uncontrolled blood glucose affects the circulatory system in an organism by intervening blood circulation. The high blood glucose can lead to macrovascular (large blood vessels) and microvascular (small blood vessels) complications. Due to this, the vital organs (notably brain, eyes, feet, heart, kidneys, lungs and nerves) get worsen in diabetic patients if not treated at the earliest. Therefore, acquiring treatment at an appropriate time is very important for managing diabetes and other complications that are caused due to diabetes. The root cause for the occurrence of various health complications in diabetic patients is the uncontrolled blood glucose levels. This review presents a consolidated account of the applications of various types of three-dimensional (3D) printing and bioprinting technologies in treating diabetes as well as the complications caused due to impaired blood glucose levels. Herein, the development of biosensors (for the diagnosis), oral drug formulations, transdermal drug carriers, orthotic insoles and scaffolds (for the treatment) are discussed. Next to this, the fabrication of 3D bioprinted organs and cell-seeded hydrogels (pancreas engineering for producing insulin and bone engineering for managing bone defects) are explained. As the final application, 3D bioprinting of diabetic disease models for high-throughput screening of ant-diabetic drugs are discussed. Lastly, the challenges and future perspective associated with the use of 3D printing and bioprinting technologies against diabetes and its related chronic complications have been put forward.

Abstract
The natural healing of diabetic wounds is collectively impeded by multiple factors, including hyperglycemia, angiogenesis disorders, acute oxidative stress, and prolonged inflammation. Although considerable effort has been devoted to solving these problems, the treatment of diabetic wounds remains a major clinical obstacle. In light of this, we developed an innovative wound microenvironment self-adaptive hydrogel to promote the healing of diabetic wounds. The hydrogel was constructed by the crosslinking of 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid (PBA)-modified gelatin (Gel) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) by borate ester bonds, which showed high responsiveness to glucose. Meanwhile, the liposomes that encapsulated metformin, L-arginine, and L(+)-ascorbic acid were incorporated into the hydrogel framework. The hydrogel@lipo composite demonstrated shape adaptability, glucose responsiveness, and all-in-one capability, thereby effectively improving the intricate microenvironment of diabetic wounds. In vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrated the ability of hydrogel@lipo to mitigate oxidative stress, enhance angiogenesis, and attenuate inflammatory responses. Consequently, the hydrogel@lipo could accelerate diabetic wound healing (within two weeks). The cumulative findings strongly suggest the potential of hydrogel@lipo as a highly promising therapeutic dressing for advancing diabetic wound recovery.

Abstract
Wound healing is a physiological process occurring after the onset of a skin lesion aiming to reconstruct the dermal barrier between the external environment and the body. Depending on the nature and duration of the healing process, wounds are classified as acute (e.g., trauma, surgical wounds) and chronic (e.g., diabetic ulcers) wounds. The latter take several months to heal or do not heal (non-healing chronic wounds), are usually prone to microbial infection and represent an important source of morbidity since they affect millions of people worldwide. Typical wound treatments comprise surgical (e.g., debridement, skin grafts/flaps) and non-surgical (e.g., topical formulations, wound dressings) methods. Modern experimental approaches include among others three dimensional (3D)-(bio)printed wound dressings. The present paper reviews recently developed 3D (bio)printed hydrogels for wound healing applications, especially focusing on the results of their in vitro and in vivo assessment. The advanced hydrogel constructs were printed using different types of bioinks (e.g., natural and/or synthetic polymers and their mixtures with biological materials) and printing methods (e.g., extrusion, digital light processing, coaxial microfluidic bioprinting, etc.) and incorporated various bioactive agents (e.g., growth factors, antibiotics, antibacterial agents, nanoparticles, etc.) and/or cells (e.g., dermal fibroblasts, keratinocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial cells, etc.).

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA)-based biomaterials have garnered significant attention for their remarkable potential in wound healing, primarily due to their effective biological actions in addressing the skin inflammation phase and mitigating hypoalbuminemia. Motivated by these attributes, a nanocomposite hydrogel is developed by blending BSA with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), complemented by the incorporation of graphene quantum dot (GQD). The FTIR study establishes a hydrogen-bonding interaction between the -NH2 groups of BSA and the -OH group of PVA. Microscopic investigations establish that the dispersion of GQDs with an average size of 22.5 nm results in smoothening of the surface of the nanocomposite. The nanocomposite hydrogel reveals excellent swelling attributes of about 920% in a period of 6 h due to its optimum cross-linking condition. Furthermore, the hydrogel exhibits a water vapor transmission rate of 8.45 mg cm-2 h-1, akin to the transmission rate of wounded skin. The PVA/BSA@GQD nanocomposite's antibacterial efficacy is evaluated against Morganella morganii bacteria, showing 99% killing, while its cytotoxicity assay against HeLa cells exhibited a minimum cell viability of 76% at a 20 μM concentration, which is ideal for a wound dressing material. In vivo wound healing investigations are conducted on Drosophila, showcasing a 100% wound surface closure within 4 h. This outcome is further substantiated through in vivo studies involving mice, where complete re-epithelialization is achieved within a span of 13 days. The combined results establish the PVA/BSA@GQD nanocomposite as a potential wound dressing material.
