Abstract
Achieving hemostasis is a necessary intervention to rapidly and effectively control bleeding. Conventional hemostatic materials currently used in clinical practice may aggravate the damage at the bleeding site due to factors such as poor adhesion and poor adaptation. Compared to most traditional hemostatic materials, polymer-based hemostatic materials have better biocompatibility and offer several advantages. They provide a more effective method of stopping bleeding and avoiding additional damage to the body in case of excessive blood loss. Various hemostatic materials with greater functionality have been developed in recent years for different organs using diverse design strategies. This article reviews the latest advances in the development of polymeric hemostatic materials. We introduce the coagulation cascade reaction after bleeding and then discuss the hemostatic mechanisms and advantages and disadvantages of various polymer materials, including natural, synthetic, and composite polymer hemostatic materials. We further focus on the design strategies, properties, and characterization of hemostatic materials, along with their applications in different organs. Finally, challenges and prospects for the application of hemostatic polymeric materials are summarized and discussed. We believe that this review can provide a reference for related research on hemostatic materials, contributing to the further development of polymer hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Most injuries are accompanied by acute bleeding. Hemostasis is necessary to relieve pain and reduce mortality in these accidents. In recent years, the traditional hemostatic materials, including inorganic, protein-based, polysaccharide-based and synthetic materials have been widely used in the clinic. The most prominent of these are biodegradable collagen sponges (Helistat®, United States), gelatin sponges (Ethicon®, SURGIFOAM®, United States), chitosan (AllaQuixTM, ChitoSAMTM, United States), cellulose (Tabotamp®, SURGICEL®, United States), and the newly investigated extracellular matrix gels, etc. Although these materials have excellent hemostatic properties, they also have their advantages and disadvantages. In this review, the performance characteristics, hemostatic effects, applications and hemostatic mechanisms of various biomaterials mentioned above are presented, followed by several strategies to improve hemostasis, including modification of single materials, blending of multiple materials, design of self-assembled peptides and their hybrid materials. Finally, the exploration of more novel hemostatic biomaterials and relative coagulation mechanisms will be essential for future research on hemostatic methods.

Abstract
Hemorrhage is the leading cause of trauma-related deaths, in hospital and prehospital settings. Hemostasis is a complex mechanism that involves a cascade of clotting factors and proteins that result in the formation of a strong clot. In certain surgical and emergency situations, hemostatic agents are needed to achieve faster blood coagulation to prevent the patient from experiencing a severe hemorrhagic shock. Therefore, it is critical to consider appropriate materials and designs for hemostatic agents. Many materials have been fabricated as hemostatic agents, including synthetic and naturally derived polymers. Compared to synthetic polymers, natural polymers or biopolymers, which include polysaccharides and polypeptides, have greater biocompatibility, biodegradability and processibility. Thus, in this review, we focus on biopolymer-based hemostatic agents of different forms, such as powder, particles, sponges and hydrogels. Finally, we discuss biopolymer-based hemostatic materials currently in clinical trials and offer insight into next-generation hemostats for clinical translation.

Abstract
Developing non-immunogenic therapeutic biomolecules for facilitating blood clotting followed by wound healing via therapeutic angiogenesis, still remains a formidable challenge. Excessive blood loss of accident victims and battalions cause a huge number of deaths worldwide. Patients with inherited bleeding disorders face acute complications during injury and post-surgery. Biologically-inspired peptide-based hemostat can act as a potential therapeutic for handling coagulopathy. Additionally, non-healing wounds for patients having ischemic diseases can cause severe clinical complications. Advancement in stabilized growth-factor-based proangiogenic therapy may offer effective possibilities for the treatment of ischemic pathology. This review will discuss nature-inspired biocompatible stabilized peptide- and protein-based molecular medicines to serve unmet medical challenges for handling traumatic coagulopathy and impaired wound healing.

Abstract
Modulation of inter- and intramolecular interactions between bioinspired designer molecules can be harnessed for developing functional structures that mimic the complex hierarchical organization of multicomponent assemblies observed in nature. Furthermore, such multistimuli-responsive molecules offer orthogonal tunability for generating versatile multifunctional platforms via independent biochemical and biophysical cues. In this review, the remarkable physicochemical and mechanical properties of genetically engineered protein polymers derived from intrinsically disordered proteins, specifically elastin and resilin, are discussed. This review highlights emerging technologies which use them as building blocks in the fabrication of highly programmable structured biomaterials for applications in delivery of biotherapeutic cargo and regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Circumferential endoscopic resection (ER) of the esophageal mucosa could find its place in the treatment of dysplastic Barrett's esophagus or extensive squamous cell neoplasia. However, the occurrence of esophageal strictures remains a major complication after ER exceeding 75% of the circumference. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a modified, pH = 2, self-assembling peptide matrix (4[Arg-Ala-Asp-Ala]) (SAP) on the development of esophageal stricture after circumferential ER in a swine model. We performed a circumferential ER in 35 swine under general anesthesia. Five animals were included in the control group, 11 animals received the SAP matrix immediately after the resection, and 11 received the SAP matrix associated to a local steroid immediately after the resection. Follow-up endoscopy and esophagogram were performed before slaughter and necropsy at day 14. Eight treated animals were kept alive until day 28. At day 14, 27% of the animals in the SAP group developed a symptomatic stricture versus 100% in the control group (P = 0.008) and 50% in the SAP-triamcinolone group (P = 0.11). Application of an SAP matrix after circumferential ER in the swine allowed a significant reduction of the incidence of symptomatic stricture at day 14. Adding triamcinolone brought no significant improvement.

Abstract
The regeneration of tissues and organs poses an immense challenge due to the extreme complexity in the research work involved. Despite the tissue engineering approach being considered as a promising strategy for more than two decades, a key issue impeding its progress is the lack of ideal scaffold materials. Nature-inspired synthetic peptide hydrogels are inherently biocompatible, and its high resemblance to extracellular matrix makes peptide hydrogels suitable 3D scaffold materials. This review covers the important aspects of peptide hydrogels as 3D scaffolds, including mechanical properties, biodegradability and bioactivity, and the current approaches in creating matrices with optimized features. Many of these scaffolds contain peptide sequences that are widely reported for tissue repair and regeneration and these peptide sequences will also be discussed. Furthermore, 3D biofabrication strategies of synthetic peptide hydrogels and the recent advances of peptide hydrogels in tissue engineering will also be described to reflect the current trend in the field. In the final section, we will present the future outlook in the design and development of peptide-based hydrogels for translational tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Traumatic coagulopathy due to severe external injury and internal hemorrhage is life-threatening to accident victims and soldiers on the battlefield, causing considerable number of deaths worldwide. Patients with inherited bleeding disorders (such as haemophilia, von Willebrand disease, inherited qualitative platelet defects, and afibrinogenemia) also contribute to the vast number of deaths due to abnormal bleeding, and these patients are difficult to handle during surgery. Platelets and different plasma proteins play an essential role in blood coagulation and in the maintenance of the body's hemostatic balance. The improper function or deficiency of these factors cause abnormal bleeding. To address such bleeding disorders, external clotting agents (such as extracellular protein-inspired natural and synthetic peptide-based sealants and peptide-functionalized polymer/liposome-based sealants) have been developed by different groups of researchers. The primary focus of this review is to provide molecular insights into the existing biologically inspired peptide-based sealants, highlighting the advantages and limitations of such reported designed sealants to handle blood clotting, and also provide insights into the design of improved next-generation surgical sealants.

Abstract
Ion-complementary self-assembling peptides have potential in delivering hydrophobic drugs. This study involved two self-assembling peptides, RADA16-I and RVDV16-I, of which RVDV16-I was a novel self-assembling peptide with different hydrophobic side chains designed from RADA16-I. The purpose of this study was to observe the interaction between different self-assembling peptides and emodin through fluorescence spectrophotometry, CD, SEM and AFM; to construct a preliminary suspension in-situ hydrogel delivery system for emodin with the self-assembling peptides; and to investigate the drug-loading and drug-releasing properties of the self-assembling peptides on emodin. The results showed that both peptides can interact with emodin and the interaction was dominated by hydrophobic interaction. The aqueous solutions of both self-assembling peptides can form relatively stable suspensions with emodin under mechanical stirring, and the suspension can form in-situ hydrogel under physiological condition. In vitro release of emodin from the hydrogels showed a manner of sustained release to some extent. Cell viability studies showed inherent proliferation inhibiting effects of emodin on tumor cells was maintained or enhanced through the in-situ hydrogels. The self-assembling peptides RADA16-I and RVDV16-I had showed promising drug-loading and drug-releasing performance for hydrophobic drugs. It is reasonable to exploit self-assembling peptides as drug carriers for their great potential to improve delivery of hydrophobic drugs.

Abstract
Elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), which derive from one of the repetitive domains found in natural elastin, have been intensively studied in the last few years from several points of view. In this mini review, we discuss all the recent works related to the investigation of ELRs, starting with those that define these polypeptides as model intrinsically disordered proteins or regions (IDPs or IDRs) and its relevance for some biomedical applications. Furthermore, we summarize the current knowledge on the development of drug, vaccine and gene delivery systems based on ELRs, while also emphasizing the use of ELR-based hydrogels in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). Finally, we show different studies that explore applications in other fields, and several examples that describe biomaterial blends in which ELRs have a key role. This review aims to give an overview of the recent advances regarding ELRs and to encourage further investigation of their properties and applications.

Abstract
Synthetic biology combines engineering and biology to produce artificial systems with programmable features. Specifically, engineered microenvironments have advanced immensely over the past few decades, owing in part to the merging of materials with biological mimetic structures. In this review, we adapt a traditional definition of community ecology to describe "cellular ecology", or the study of the distribution of cell populations and interactions within their microenvironment. We discuss two exemplar hydrogel platforms: (1) self-assembling peptide (SAP) hydrogels and (2) Poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) hydrogels and describe future opportunities for merging smart material design and synthetic biology within the scope of multicellular platforms.

Abstract
Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) are synthetic bioinspired biomaterials that can be feasibly multi-functionalized for applications in surgery, drug delivery, optics and tissue engineering (TE). Despite their promising biocompatibility and biomimetic properties, they have never been considered real competitors of polymers and/or cross-linked extracellular matrix (ECM) natural proteins. Indeed, synthetic SAP-made hydrogels usually feature modest mechanical properties, limiting their potential applications, due to the transient non-covalent interactions involved in the self-assembling phenomenon. Cross-linked SAP-hydrogels have been recently introduced to bridge this gap, but several questions remain open. New strategies leading to stiffer gels of SAPs may allow for a full exploitation of the SAP technology in TE and beyond. We have developed and characterized a genipin cross-linking strategy significantly increasing the stiffness and resiliency of FAQ(LDLK)3, a functionalized SAP already used for nervous cell cultures. We characterized different protocols of cross-linking, analyzing their dose and time-dependent efficiency, influencing stiffness, bioabsorption time and molecular arrangements. We choose the best developed protocol to electrospin into nanofibers, for the first time, self-standing, water-stable and flexible fibrous mats and micro-channels entirely made of SAPs. This work may open the door to the development and tailoring of bioprostheses entirely made of SAPs for different TE applications.
