Postbiotics-peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid, exopolysaccharides, surface layer protein and pili proteins-Structure, activity in wounds and their delivery systems. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 274:133195. [PMID: 38885869 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Chronic wound healing is a pressing global public health concern. Abuse and drug resistance of antibiotics are the key problems in the treatment of chronic wounds at present. Postbiotics are a novel promising strategy. Previous studies have reported that postbiotics have a wide range of biological activities including antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory abilities. However, several aspects related to these postbiotic activities remain unexplored or poorly known. Therefore, this work aims to outline general aspects and emerging trends in the use of postbiotics for wound healing, such as the production, characterization, biological activities and delivery strategies of postbiotics. In this review, a comprehensive overview of the physiological activities and structures of postbiotic biomolecules that contribute to wound healing is provided, such as peptidoglycan, lipoteichoic acid, bacteriocins, exopolysaccharides, surface layer proteins, pili proteins, and secretory proteins (p40 and p75 proteins). Considering the presence of readily degradable components in postbiotics, potential natural polymer delivery materials and delivery systems are emphasized, followed by the potential applications and commercialization prospects of postbiotics. These findings suggest that the treatment of chronic wounds with postbiotic ingredients will help provide new insights into wound healing and better guidance for the development of postbiotic products.

Abstract
The development of various osteogenic biomaterials has not only promoted the development of bone tissue engineering but also provided more possibilities for bone defect repair. However, most previous studies have focused on the interaction of biomaterials on endogenous or exogenous stem cells involved in the bone regeneration process while neglecting the effect of changes in the immune microenvironment of bone defect sites on bone regeneration after biomaterial implantation into the host. With the development of bone immunology, the role of various immune cells, especially macrophages, in bone regeneration has gradually attracted the attention of researchers. An increasing number of studies have begun to target macrophages to better promote bone regeneration by modulating the fate of macrophages in a spatiotemporally ordered manner to mimic the changes in the immune microenvironment of bone defect sites during the natural repair process of bone tissue. Chitosan is one of the most abundant natural polysaccharides in the world. In recent years, various chitosan-based biomaterials have been widely used in macrophage fate modulation and bone regeneration. In this review, we review the interaction between macrophages and scaffold materials, general information about chitosan, the modulation of macrophage fate by chitosan-based biomaterials, and their application in bone regeneration.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease and is the primary contributor to adult tooth loss. Diabetes exacerbates periodontitis, accelerates periodontal bone resorption. Thus, effectively managing periodontitis in individuals with diabetes is a long-standing challenge. This review introduces the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontitis, and analyzes the bidirectional relationship between diabetes and periodontitis. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the four pathological microenvironments influenced by diabetic periodontitis: high glucose microenvironment, bacterial infection microenvironment, inflammatory microenvironment, and bone loss microenvironment. The hydrogel design strategies and latest research development tailored to the four microenvironments of diabetic periodontitis are mainly focused on. Finally, the challenges and potential solutions in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis are discussed. We believe this review will be helpful for researchers seeking novel avenues in the treatment of diabetic periodontitis.

Abstract
For most individuals, wound healing is a highly organized, straightforward process, wherein the body transitions through different phases in a timely manner. However, there are instances where external intervention becomes necessary to support and facilitate different phases of the body's innate healing mechanism. Furthermore, in developing countries, the cost of the intervention significantly impacts access to treatment options as affordability becomes a determining factor. This is particularly true in cases of long-term wound treatment and management, such as chronic wounds and infections. Silk fibroin (SF) and its nanocomposites have emerged as promising biomaterials with potent wound-healing activity. Driven by this motivation, this Review presents a critical overview of the recent advancements in different aspects of wound care using SF and SF-based nanocomposites. In this context, we explore various formats of hemostats and assess their suitability for different bleeding situations. The subsequent sections discuss the primary causes of nonhealing wounds, i.e., prolonged inflammation and infections. Herein, different treatment strategies to achieve immunomodulatory and antibacterial properties in a wound dressing were reviewed. Despite exhibiting excellent pro-healing properties, few silk-based products reach the market. This Review concludes by highlighting the bottlenecks in translating silk-based products into the market and the prospects for the future.

Abstract
Dermal wounds are a major global health burden made worse by common comorbidities such as diabetes and infection. Appropriate wound closure relies on a highly coordinated series of cellular events, ultimately bridging tissue gaps and regenerating normal physiological structures. Wound dressings are an important component of wound care management, providing a barrier against external insults while preserving the active reparative processes underway within the wound bed. The development of wound dressings with biomaterial constituents has become an attractive design strategy due to the varied functions intrinsic in biological polymers, such as cell instructiveness, growth factor binding, antimicrobial properties, and tissue integration. Using photosensitive agents to generate crosslinked or photopolymerized dressings in situ provides an opportunity to develop dressings rapidly within the wound bed, facilitating robust adhesion to the wound bed for greater barrier protection and adaptation to irregular wound shapes. Despite the popularity of this fabrication approach, relatively few experimental wound dressings have undergone preclinical translation into animal models, limiting the overall integrity of assessing their potential as effective wound dressings. Here, we provide an up-to-date narrative review of reported photoinitiator- and wavelength-guided design strategies for in situ light activation of biomaterial dressings that have been evaluated in preclinical wound healing models.

Abstract
Diabetic wound healing is delayed due to persistent inflammation, and macrophage-immunomodulating biomaterials can control the inflammatory phase and shorten the healing time. In this study, acellular embryoid bodies (aEBs) were prepared and mixed with thermosensitive hydroxybutyl chitosan (HBC) hydrogels to produce aEB/HBC composite hydrogels. The aEB/HBC composite hydrogels exhibited reversible temperature-sensitive phase transition behavior and a hybrid porous network. In vitro analysis showed that the aEB/HBC composite hydrogels exhibited better antimicrobial activity than the PBS control, aEBs or HBC hydrogels and promoted M0 to M2 polarization but not M1 to M2 macrophage repolarization in culture. The in vivo results showed that the aEB/HBC composite hydrogels accelerated cutaneous wound closure, re-epithelialization, ingrowth of new blood vessels, and collagen deposition and reduced the scar width during wound healing in diabetic mice over time. Macrophage phenotype analysis showed that the aEB/HBC composite hydrogels induce M2 macrophage reactions continually, upregulate M2-related mRNA and protein expression and downregulate M1-related mRNA and protein expression. Therefore, the aEB/HBC composite hydrogels have excellent antimicrobial activity, promote M2 macrophage polarization and accelerate the functional and structural healing of diabetic cutaneous wounds.

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are extracellular fibers composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and decorated proteins produced by neutrophils. Recently, NETs have been associated with the development of many diseases, including tumors. Herein, we reviewed the correlation between NETs and tumors. In addition, we detailed active compounds from traditional herbal medicine formulations that inhibit NETs, related nanodrug delivery systems, and antibodies that serve as "guiding moieties" to ensure targeted delivery to NETs. Furthermore, we discussed the strategies used by pathogenic microorganisms to evade NETs.

Abstract
Skin wounds significantly impact the global health care system and represent a significant burden on the economy and society due to their complicated dynamic healing processes, wherein a series of immune events are required to coordinate normal and sequential healing phases, involving multiple immunoregulatory cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, keratinocytes, and fibroblasts, since dysfunction of these cells may impede skin wound healing presenting persisting inflammation, impaired vascularization, and excessive collagen deposition. Therefore, cellular target-based immunomodulation is promising to promote wound healing as cells are the smallest unit of life in immune response. Recently, immunomodulatory hydrogels have become an attractive avenue to promote skin wound healing. However, a detailed and comprehensive review of cellular targets and related hydrogel design strategies remains lacking. In this review, the roles of the main immunoregulatory cells participating in skin wound healing are first discussed, and then we highlight the cellular targets and state-of-the-art design strategies for immunomodulatory hydrogels based on immunoregulatory cells that cover defect, infected, diabetic, burn and tumor wounds and related scar healing. Finally, we discuss the barriers that need to be addressed and future prospects to boost the development and prosperity of immunomodulatory hydrogels.

Abstract
Nanozymes, as one of the most efficient reactive oxygen species (ROS)-scavenging biomaterials, are receiving wide attention in promoting diabetic wound healing. Despite recent attempts at improving the catalytic efficiency of Pt-based nanozymes (e.g., PtCu, one of the best systems), they still display quite limited ROS scavenging capacity and ROS-dependent antibacterial effects on bacteria or immunocytes, which leads to uncontrolled and poor diabetic wound healing. Hence, a new class of multifunctional PtCuTe nanosheets with excellent catalytic, ROS-independent antibacterial, proangiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and immuno-modulatory properties for boosting the diabetic wound healing, is reported. The PtCuTe nanosheets show stronger ROS scavenging capacity and better antibacterial effects than PtCu. It is also revealed that the PtCuTe can enhance vascular tube formation, stimulate macrophage polarization toward the M2 phenotype and improve fibroblast mobility, outperforming conventional PtCu. Moreover, PtCuTe promotes crosstalk between different cell types to form a positive feedback loop. Consequently, PtCuTe stimulates a proregenerative environment with relevant cell populations to ensure normal tissue repair. Utilizing a diabetic mouse model, it is demonstrated that PtCuTe significantly facilitated the regeneration of highly vascularized skin, with the percentage of wound closure being over 90% on the 8th day, which is the best among the reported comparable multifunctional biomaterials.

Abstract
Silks fibroin can be chemically modified through amino acid side chains to obtain methacrylated silk (Sil-MA). Sil-MA could be processed into a variety of scaffold forms and combine synergistically with other biomaterials to form composites vehicle. The advent of Sil-MA material has enabled impressive progress in the development of various scaffolds based on Sil-MA type to imitate the structural and functional characteristics of natural tissues. This review highlights the reasonable design and bio-fabrication strategies of diverse Sil-MA-based tissue constructs for regenerative medicine. First, we elucidate modification methodology and characteristics of Sil-MA. Next, we describe characteristics of Sil-MA hydrogels, and focus on the design approaches and formation of different types of Sil-MA-based hydrogels. Thereafter, we present an overview of the recent advances in the application of Sil-MA based scaffolds for regenerative medicine, including detailed strategies for the engineering methods and materials used. Finally, we summarize the current research progress and future directions of Sil-MA in regenerative medicine. This review not only delineates the representative design strategies and their application in regenerative medicine, but also provides new direction in the fabrication of biomaterial constructs for the clinical translation in order to stimulate the future development of implants.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has been regarded as a life-threatening problem in clinic. In addition to screening of new antibiotics, it is important to develop highly effective antibacterial materials against antibiotic resistance with capacities on modulating chronic inflammation. Herein, aligned Chlorin e6 (Ce6) conjugated silk fibroin electrospun fibers were successfully fabricated on silk fibroin based film via electrospining to achieve effective photodynamic antibacterial activities under near infrared (NIR) irradiation. The aligned electrospun fiber based film composite (SFCF@Film) exhibited good mechanical properties and desirable hemocompatibility. SFCF@Film provided a promising guidance cue for directing cell orientation and promoting cell growth. Significantly, SFCF@Film effectively generated ROS under NIR irradiation to kill S. aureus for treating wound infections within 10 min and promoted M2 polarization of macrophages for wound healing at later stage. Therefore, we believed that this engineered bioscaffold can be a powerful strategy for handling wound infection.

Abstract
Microenvironment regeneration in wound tissue is crucial for wound healing. However, achieving desirable wound microenvironment regeneration involves multiple stages, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Traditional wound dressings face challenges in fully manipulating all these stages to achieve quick and complete wound healing. Herein, we present a VEGF-loaded, versatile wound dressing hydrogel based on gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which could be easily fabricated using UV irradiation. The newly designed GelMA-CMCS@VEGF hydrogel not only exhibited strong tissue adhesion capacity due to the interactions between CMCS active groups and biological tissues, but also possessed desirable extensible properties for frequently moving skins and joints. Furthermore, the hydrogel demonstrates exceptional abilities in blood cell coagulation, hemostasis and cell recruitment, leading to the promotion of endothelial cells proliferation, adhesion, migration and angiogenesis. Additionally, in vivo studies demonstrated that the hydrogel drastically shortened hemostatic time, and achieved satisfactory therapeutic efficacy by suppressing inflammation, modulating M1/M2 polarization of macrophages, significantly promoting collagen deposition, stimulating angiogenesis, epithelialization and tissue remodeling. This work contributes to the design of versatile hydrogel dressings for rapid and complete wound healing therapy.

Abstract
Hydrogels represent intricate three-dimensional polymeric structures, renowned for their compatibility with living systems and their ability to naturally degrade. These networks stand as promising and viable foundations for a range of biomedical uses. The practical feasibility of employing hydrogels in clinical trials has been well-demonstrated. Among the prevalent biomedical uses of hydrogels, a significant application arises in the context of wound healing. This intricate progression involves distinct phases of inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling, often triggered by trauma, skin injuries, and various diseases. Metabolic conditions like diabetes have the potential to give rise to persistent wounds, leading to delayed healing processes. This current review consolidates a collection of experiments focused on the utilization of hydrogels to expedite the recovery of wounds. Hydrogels have the capacity to improve the inflammatory conditions at the wound site, and they achieve this by diminishing levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby exhibiting antioxidant effects. Hydrogels have the potential to enhance the growth of fibroblasts and keratinocytes at the wound site. They also possess the capability to inhibit both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, effectively managing wounds infected by drug-resistant bacteria. Hydrogels can trigger angiogenesis and neovascularization processes, while also promoting the M2 polarization of macrophages, which in turn mitigates inflammation at the wound site. Intelligent and versatile hydrogels, encompassing features such as pH sensitivity, reactivity to reactive oxygen species (ROS), and responsiveness to light and temperature, have proven advantageous in expediting wound healing. Furthermore, hydrogels synthesized using environmentally friendly methods, characterized by high levels of biocompatibility and biodegradability, hold the potential for enhancing the wound healing process. Hydrogels can facilitate the controlled discharge of bioactive substances. More recently, there has been progress in the creation of conductive hydrogels, which, when subjected to electrical stimulation, contribute to the enhancement of wound healing. Diabetes mellitus, a metabolic disorder, leads to a slowdown in the wound healing process, often resulting in the formation of persistent wounds. Hydrogels have the capability to expedite the healing of diabetic wounds, facilitating the transition from the inflammatory phase to the proliferative stage. The current review sheds light on the biological functionalities of hydrogels, encompassing their role in modulating diverse mechanisms and cell types, including inflammation, oxidative stress, macrophages, and bacteriology. Additionally, this review emphasizes the significance of smart hydrogels with responsiveness to external stimuli, as well as conductive hydrogels for promoting wound healing. Lastly, the discussion delves into the advancement of environmentally friendly hydrogels with high biocompatibility, aimed at accelerating the wound healing process.

Abstract
Wound healing is an extremely complex process involving multiple levels of cells and tissues. It is mainly completed through four stages: haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling. When any one of these stages is impaired, it may lead to delayed healing or even transformation into chronic refractory wounds. Diabetes is a kind of common metabolic disease that affects approximately 500 million people worldwide, 25% of whom develop skin ulcers that break down repeatedly and are difficult to heal, making it a growing public health problem. Neutrophils extracellular traps and ferroptosis are new types of programmed cell death identified in recent years and have been found to interact with diabetic wounds. In this paper, the normal wound healing and interfering factors of the diabetic refractory wound were outlined. The mechanism of two kinds of programmed cell death was also described, and the interaction mechanism between different types of programmed cell death and diabetic refractory wounds was discussed.

Abstract
Everyday unnatural events such as trauma, accidents, military conflict, disasters, and even medical malpractice create open wounds and massive blood loss, which can be life-threatening. Fractures and large bone defects are among the most common types of injuries. Traditional treatment methods usually involve rapid hemostasis and wound closure, which are convenient and fast but may result in various complications such as nerve injury, deep infection, vascular injury, and deep hematomas. To address these complications, various studies have been conducted on new materials that can be degraded in the body and reduce inflammation and abscesses in the surgical area. This review presents the latest research progress in biomaterials for bone hemostasis and repair. The mechanisms of bone hemostasis and bone healing are first introduced and then principles for rational design of biomaterials are summarized. After providing representative examples of hemostatic biomaterials for bone repair, future challenges and opportunities in the field are proposed.

Abstract
The healing of infected bone defects (IBD) is a complex physiological process involving a series of spatially and temporally overlapping events, including pathogen clearance, immunological modulation, vascularization, and osteogenesis. Based on the theory that bone healing is regulated by both biochemical and biophysical signals, in this study, a copper doped bioglass (CuBGs)/methacryloyl-modified gelatin nanoparticle (MA-GNPs)/methacrylated silk fibroin (SilMA) hybrid hydrogel is developed to promote IBD healing. This hybrid hydrogel demonstrates a dual-photocrosslinked interpenetrating network mechanism, wherein the photocrosslinked SilMA as the main network ensures structural integrity, and the photocrosslinked MA-GNPs colloidal network increases strength and dissipates loading forces. In an IBD model, the hydrogel exhibits excellent biophysical characteristics, such as adhesion, adaptation to irregular defect shapes, and in situ physical reinforcement. At the same time, by sequentially releasing bioactive ions such as Cu2+ , Ca2+ , and Si2+ ions from CuBGs on demand, the hydrogel spatiotemporally coordinates antibacterial, immunomodulatory and bone remodeling events, efficiently removing infection and accelerating bone repair without the use of antibiotics or exogenous recombinant proteins. Therefore, the hybrid hydrogel can be used as a simple and effective method for the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are large DNA reticular structures secreted by neutrophils and decorated with histones and antimicrobial proteins. As a key mechanism for neutrophils to resist microbial invasion, NETs play an important role in the killing of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). Although NETs are mostly known for mediating microbial killing, increasing evidence suggests that excessive NETs induced by stimulation of physical and chemical components, microorganisms, and pathological factors can exacerbate inflammation and organ damage. This review summarizes the induction and role of NETs in inflammation and focuses on the strategies of inhibiting NETosis and the mechanisms involved in pathogen evasion of NETs. Furthermore, herbal medicine inhibitors and nanodelivery strategies improve the efficiency of inhibition of excessive levels of NETs.

Abstract
Bacterial biofilm-associated infections (BAIs) are the leading cause of prosthetic implant failure. The dense biofilm structure prevents antibiotic penetration, while the highly acidic and H2 O2 -rich biofilm microenvironment (BME) dampens the immunological response of antimicrobial macrophages. Conventional treatments that fail to consistently suppress escaping planktonic bacteria from biofilm result in refractory recolonization, allowing BAIs to persist. Herein, a BME-responsive copper-doped polyoxometalate clusters (Cu-POM) combination with mild photothermal therapy (PTT) and macrophage immune re-rousing for BAI eradication at all stages is proposed. The self-assembly of Cu-POM in BME converts endogenous H2 O2 to toxic ·OH through chemodynamic therapy (CDT) and generates a mild PTT effect to induce bacterial metabolic exuberance, resulting in loosening the membrane structure of the bacteria, enhancing copper transporter activity and increasing intracellular Cu-POM flux. Metabolomics reveals that intracellular Cu-POM overload restricts the TCA cycle and peroxide accumulation, promoting bacterial cuproptosis-like death. CDT re-rousing macrophages scavenge planktonic bacteria escaping biofilm disintegration through enhanced chemotaxis and phagocytosis. Overall, BME-responsive Cu-POM promotes bacterial cuproptosis-like death via metabolic interference, while also re-rousing macrophage immune response for further planktonic bacteria elimination, resulting in all-stage BAI clearance and providing a new reference for future clinical application.

Abstract
An evolving field, nanotechnology has made its mark in the fields of nanoscience, nanoparticles, nanomaterials, and nanomedicine. Specifically, metal nanoparticles have garnered attention for their diverse use and applicability to dressings for wound healing due to their antimicrobial properties. Given their convenient integration into wound dressings, there has been increasing focus dedicated to investigating the physical, mechanical, and biological characteristics of these nanoparticles as well as their incorporation into biocomposite materials, such as hydrogel scaffolds for use in lieu of antibiotics as well as to accelerate and ameliorate healing. Though rigorously tested and applied in both medical and non-medical applications, further investigations have not been carried out to bring metal nanoparticle-hydrogel composites into clinical practice. In this review, we provide an up-to-date, comprehensive review of advancements in the field, with emphasis on implications on wound healing in in vivo experiments.

Abstract
The increasingly aging society led to a rise in the prevalence of chronic wounds (CWs), posing a significant burden to public health on a global scale. One of the key features of CWs is the presence of a maladjusted immune microenvironment characterized by persistent and excessive (hyper)inflammation. A variety of immunomodulatory therapies have been proposed to address this condition. Yet, to date, current delivery systems for immunomodulatory therapy remain inadequate and lack efficiency. This highlights the need for new therapeutic delivery systems, such as nanosystems, to manage the pathological inflammatory imbalance and, ultimately, improve the treatment outcomes of CWs. While a plethora of immunomodulatory nanosystems modifying the immune microenvironment of CWs have shown promising therapeutic effects, the literature on the intersection of immunomodulatory nanosystems and CWs remains relatively scarce. Therefore, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the pathogenesis and characteristics of the immune microenvironment in CWs, discuss important advancements in our understanding of CW healing, and delineate the versatility and applicability of immunomodulatory nanosystems-based therapies in the therapeutic management of CWs. In addition, we herein also shed light on the main challenges and future perspectives in this rapidly evolving research field.

Abstract
The recurrence of biofilm-associated infections (BAIs) remains high after implant-associated surgery. Biofilms on the implant surface reportedly shelter bacteria from antibiotics and evade innate immune defenses. Moreover, little is currently known about eliminating residual bacteria that can induce biofilm reinfection. Herein, novel "interference-regulation strategy" based on bovine serum albumin-iridium oxide nanoparticles (BIONPs) as biofilm homeostasis interrupter and immunomodulator via singlet oxygen (1 O2 )-sensitized mild hyperthermia for combating BAIs is reported. The catalase-like BIONPs convert abundant H2 O2 inside the biofilm-microenvironment (BME) to sufficient oxygen gas (O2 ), which can efficiently enhance the generation of 1 O2 under near-infrared irradiation. The 1 O2 -induced biofilm homeostasis disturbance (e.g., sigB, groEL, agr-A, icaD, eDNA) can disrupt the sophisticated defense system of biofilm, further enhancing the sensitivity of biofilms to mild hyperthermia. Moreover, the mild hyperthermia-induced bacterial membrane disintegration results in protein leakage and 1 O2 penetration to kill bacteria inside the biofilm. Subsequently, BIONPs-induced immunosuppressive microenvironment re-rousing successfully re-polarizes macrophages to pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype in vivo to devour residual biofilm and prevent biofilm reconstruction. Collectively, this 1 O2 -sensitized mild hyperthermia can yield great refractory BAIs treatment via biofilm homeostasis interference, mild-hyperthermia, and immunotherapy, providing a novel and effective anti-biofilm strategy.

Abstract
Scientists have been attempting to improve the properties of mesoporous materials and expand their application since the 1990s, and the combination with hydrogels, macromolecular biological materials, is one of the research focuses currently. Uniform mesoporous structure, high specific surface area, good biocompatibility, and biodegradability make the combined use of mesoporous materials more suitable for the sustained release of loaded drugs than single hydrogels. As a joint result, they can achieve tumor targeting, tumor environment stimulation responsiveness, and multiple therapeutic platforms such as photothermal therapy and photodynamic therapy. Due to the photothermal conversion ability, mesoporous materials can significantly improve the antibacterial ability of hydrogels and offer a novel photocatalytic antibacterial mode. In bone repair systems, mesoporous materials remarkably strengthen the mineralization and mechanical properties of hydrogels, aside from being used as drug carriers to load and release various bioactivators to promote osteogenesis. In hemostasis, mesoporous materials greatly elevate the water absorption rate of hydrogels, enhance the mechanical strength of the blood clot, and dramatically shorten the bleeding time. As for wound healing and tissue regeneration, incorporating mesoporous materials can be promising for enhancing vessel formation and cell proliferation of hydrogels. In this paper, we introduce the classification and preparation methods of mesoporous material-loaded composite hydrogels and highlight the applications of composite hydrogels in drug delivery, tumor therapy, antibacterial treatment, osteogenesis, hemostasis, and wound healing. We also summarize the latest research progress and point out future research directions. After searching, no research reporting these contents was found.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15020439. [PMID: 36839761 PMCID: PMC9960588 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15020439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Complete recovery from infection, sepsis, injury, or trauma requires a vigorous response called inflammation. Inflammatory responses are essential in balancing tissue homeostasis to protect the tissue or resolve harmful stimuli and initiate the healing process. Identifying pathologically important inflammatory stimuli is important for a better understanding of the immune pathways, mechanisms of inflammatory diseases and organ dysfunctions, and inflammatory biomarkers and for developing therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases. Nanoparticles are an efficient medical tool for diagnosing, preventing, and treating various diseases due to their interactions with biological molecules. Nanoparticles are unique in diagnosis and therapy in that they do not affect the surroundings or show toxicity. Modern medicine has undergone further development with nanoscale materials providing advanced experimentation, clinical use, and applications. Nanoparticle use in imaging, drug delivery, and treatment is growing rapidly owing to their spectacular accuracy, bioavailability, and cellular permeability. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) play a significant role in nano therapy with several advantages such as easy synthesis, loading, controllability, bioavailability over various surfaces, functionalization, and biocompatibility. MSNs can be used as theranostics in immune-modulatory nano systems to diagnose and treat inflammatory diseases. The application of MSNs in the preparation of drug-delivery systems has been steadily increasing in recent decades. Several preclinical studies suggest that an MSN-mediated drug-delivery system could aid in treating inflammatory diseases. This review explains the role of nanoparticles in medicine, synthesis, and functional properties of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and their therapeutic role against various inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Bone, cartilage, and soft tissue regeneration is a complex spatiotemporal process recruiting a variety of cell types, whose activity and interplay must be precisely mediated for effective healing post-injury. Although extensive strides have been made in the understanding of the immune microenvironment processes governing bone, cartilage, and soft tissue regeneration, effective clinical translation of these mechanisms remains a challenge. Regulation of the immune microenvironment is increasingly becoming a favorable target for bone, cartilage, and soft tissue regeneration; therefore, an in-depth understanding of the communication between immune cells and functional tissue cells would be valuable. Herein, we review the regulatory role of the immune microenvironment in the promotion and maintenance of stem cell states in the context of bone, cartilage, and soft tissue repair and regeneration. We discuss the roles of various immune cell subsets in bone, cartilage, and soft tissue repair and regeneration processes and introduce novel strategies, for example, biomaterial-targeting of immune cell activity, aimed at regulating healing. Understanding the mechanisms of the crosstalk between the immune microenvironment and regeneration pathways may shed light on new therapeutic opportunities for enhancing bone, cartilage, and soft tissue regeneration through regulation of the immune microenvironment.

Abstract
Non-targeted persistent immune activation or suppression by different drug delivery platforms can cause adverse and chronic physiological effects including cancer and arthritis. Therefore, non-toxic materials that do not trigger an immunogenic response during delivery are crucial for safe and effective in vivo treatment. Hydrogels are excellent candidates that can be engineered to control immune responses by modulating biomolecule release/adsorption, improving regeneration of lymphoid tissues, and enhancing function during antigen presentation. This review discusses the aspects of hydrogel-based systems used as drug delivery platforms for various diseases. A detailed investigation on different immunomodulation strategies for various delivery options and deliberate upon the outlook of such drug delivery platforms are conducted.

Abstract
Wound healing is a dynamic physiological process, including three stages: inflammation, tissue formation, and remodeling. The quality of wound healing is affected by many topical and systemic factors, while any small factor may affect the process. Therefore, improving the quality of wound healing is a complex and arduous challenge. Photo-crosslinking reaction using visible light irradiation is a novel method for hydrogel preparation. Photo-crosslinking hydrogels can be controlled in time and space, and are not interfered by temperature conditions, which have been widely used in the fields of medicine and engineering. This review aims to summarize the application of photo-crosslinking hydrogels in improving the quality of wound healing, mainly including the material design, application mechanism, and effect of photo-crosslinking hydrogels applied in wound healing, followed by the applicable animal models for experimental research. Finally, this review analyzes the clinical application prospects of photo-crosslinking hydrogels in the field of wound healing.

Abstract
Nowadays, there are still numerous challenges for well-known biomedical applications, such as tissue engineering (TE), wound healing and controlled drug delivery, which must be faced and solved. Hydrogels have been proposed as excellent candidates for these applications, as they have promising properties for the mentioned applications, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, great absorption capacity and tunable mechanical properties. However, depending on the material or the manufacturing method, the resulting hydrogel may not be up to the specific task for which it is designed, thus there are different approaches proposed to enhance hydrogel performance for the requirements of the application in question. The main purpose of this review article was to summarize the most recent trends of hydrogel technology, going through the most used polymeric materials and the most popular hydrogel synthesis methods in recent years, including different strategies of enhancing hydrogels’ properties, such as cross-linking and the manufacture of composite hydrogels. In addition, the secondary objective of this review was to briefly discuss other novel applications of hydrogels that have been proposed in the past few years which have drawn a lot of attention.
