Abstract
Intense and persistent oxidative stress, excessive inflammation, and impaired angiogenesis severely hinder diabetic wound healing. Bioactive hydrogel dressings with immunoregulatory and proangiogenic properties have great promise in treating diabetic wounds. However, the therapeutic effects of dressings always depend on drugs with side effects, expensive cytokines, and cell therapies. Herein, a novel dynamic borate-bonds crosslinked hybrid multifunctional hydrogel dressings with photothermal properties are developed to regulate the microenvironment of diabetic wound sites and accelerate the whole process of its healing without additional medication. The hydrogel is composed of phenylboronic acid-modified chitosan and hyaluronic acid (HA) crosslinked by tannic acid (TA) through borate bonds and Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) with photothermal response characteristics are embedded in the polymer networks. The results indicate hydrogels show inherent broad-spectrum antioxidative activities through the integrated interaction of borate bonds, TA, and PBNPs. Meanwhile, combined with the regulation of macrophage phenotype by HA, the inflammatory microenvironment of diabetic wounds is transformed. Moreover, the angiogenesis is then enhanced by the mild photothermal effect of PBNPs, followed by promoted epithelialization and collagen deposition. In summary, this hybrid hydrogel system accelerates all stages of wound repair through antioxidative stress, immunomodulation, and proangiogenesis, showing great potential applications in diabetic wound management.

Abstract
A polydopamine polyelectrolyte hydrogel was developed by ionic crosslinking dextran sulfate with a copolymer of polyethyleneimine and polydopamine. Gelation was promoted by the slow hydrolysis of glucono-δ-lactone. Within this hydrogel, silver nanoparticles were generated in situ, ranging from 25 nm to 200 nm in size. The antibacterial activity of the hydrogel was proportional to the quantity of silver nanoparticles produced, increasing as the nanoparticle count rose. The hydrogels demonstrated broad-spectrum antibacterial efficacy at concentrations up to 108 cells/mL for P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae, E. coli and S. aureus, the four most prevalent bacterial pathogens in chronic septic wounds. In ex vivo studies on human skin, biocompatibility was enhanced by the presence of polydopamine. Dextran sulfate is a known irritant, but formulations with polydopamine showed improved cell viability and reduced levels of the inflammatory biomarkers IL-8 and IL-1α. Silver nanoparticles can inhibit cell migration, but an ex vivo human skin study showed significant re-epithelialization in wounds treated with hydrogels containing silver nanoparticles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gelatin-xanthan gum (Gel-Xnt) hydrogel has been previously modified to improve its printability; now, to increase its ability for use as cell-laden 3D scaffolds (bioink), polydopamine (PDA), a biocompatible, antibacterial, adhesive, and antioxidant mussel-inspired biopolymer, has been added (1-3% v/v) to hydrogel. METHODS Control (CT) and PDA-blended hydrogels were used to print 1 cm2 grids. The hydrogels' printability, moisture, swelling, hydrolysis, and porosity were tested after glutaraldehyde (GTA) crosslinking, while biocompatibility was tested using primary human-derived skin fibroblasts and spontaneously immortalized human keratinocytes (HaCaT). Keratinocyte or fibroblast suspension (100 µL, 2.5 × 105 cells) was combined with an uncrosslinked CT and PDA blended hydrogel to fabricate cylinders (0.5 cm high, 1 cm wide). These cylinders were then cross-linked and incubated for 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 days. The presence of cells within various hydrogels was assessed using optical microscopy. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION PDA blending did not modify the hydrogel printability or physiochemical characteristics, suggesting that PDA did not interfere with GTA crosslinking. On the other hand, PDA presence strongly accelerated and increased both fibroblast and keratinocyte growth inside. This effect seemed to be linked to the adhesive abilities of PDA, which improve cell adhesion and, in turn, proliferation. CONCLUSIONS The simple PDA blending method described could help in obtaining a new bioink for the development of innovative 3D-printed wound dressings.

Abstract
The healing of diabetic wounds is hindered by various factors, including bacterial infection, macrophage dysfunction, excess proinflammatory cytokines, high levels of reactive oxygen species, and sustained hypoxia. These factors collectively impede cellular behaviors and the healing process. Consequently, this review presents intelligent hydrogels equipped with multifunctional capacities, which enable them to dynamically respond to the microenvironment and accelerate wound healing in various ways, including stimuli -responsiveness, injectable self-healing, shape -memory, and conductive and real-time monitoring properties. The relationship between the multiple functions and wound healing is also discussed. Based on the microenvironment of diabetic wounds, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, and pro-angiogenic strategies are combined with multifunctional hydrogels. The application of multifunctional hydrogels in the repair of diabetic wounds is systematically discussed, aiming to provide guidelines for fabricating hydrogels for diabetic wound healing and exploring the role of intelligent hydrogels in the therapeutic processes.

Abstract
The present study aimed at developing an injectable hydrogel based on acacia gum (AG) for wound healing acceleration. The hydrogels were synthetized through metal-ligand coordination mediated by Fe3+ and characterized in terms of gelation time, gel content, initial water content, swelling capacity, water retention ratio, and porosity. Moreover, FTIR, XRD and TGA analyses were performed for the hydrogels and allantoin (Alla) loaded ones. Furthermore, bioadhessiveness, and self-healing as well as antibacterial, toxicity and wound healing potentials of the hydrogels were evaluated. The hydrogels displayed fast gelation time, high swelling, porosity, and bioadhessiveness, as well as antioxidant, self-healing, antibacterial, blood clotting, and injectability properties. FTIR, XRD and TGA analyses confirmed hydrogel synthesis and drug loading. The Alla-loaded hydrogels accelerated wound healing by decreasing the inflammation and increasing the cell proliferation as well as collagen deposition. Hemocompatibility, cell cytotoxicity, and in vivo toxicity experiments were indicative of a high biocompatibility level for the hydrogels. Given the advantages of fast gelation, injectability and beneficial biological properties, the use of Alla-loaded hydrogels could be considered a new remedy for efficient wound healing.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA)-based nanostructures are used for biomedical purposes. A hybrid drug nanocarrier based on a PDA decorated with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers G 3.0 (DG3) followed by a connection with glycol (PEG) moieties, folic acid (FA), and drug doxorubicin (DOX) was used for combined chemo- and photothermal therapy (CT-PTT) of liver cancer. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the development of cancer, and PDA seems to have the ability to both donate and accept electrons. We investigated oxidative stress in organs by evaluating oxidative stress markers in vivo. In the liver, the level of reduced glutathione (GSH) was lower and the level of Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) was higher in the group receiving doxorubicin encapsulated in PDA nanoparticles with phototherapy (PDA@DG3@PEG@FA@DOX + PTT) compared to the control group. The concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in livers, was higher in the group receiving PDA coated with PAMAM dendrimers and functionalized with PEG and FA (PDA@DG3@PEG@FA) than in other groups. Markers in the brain also showed lower levels of GSH in the PDA@DG3@PEG@FA group than in the control group. Markers of oxidative stress indicated changes in the organs of animals receiving PDA nanoparticles with PAMAM dendrimers functionalized with FA in CT-PTT of liver cancer under in vivo conditions. Our work will provide insights into oxidative stress, which can be an indicator of the toxic potential of PDA nanoparticles and provide new strategies to improve existing therapies.

Abstract
Bioinspired adhesives have been increasingly developed, especially towards a biomedical application. Therefore, in this study, dopamine (DA) was oxidized into polydopamine (PDA) in a gelatin mixture via titration with NaIO4 as a strong oxidant to easily obtain an adhesive antioxidant and self-healing PDA-gelatin hydrogel. Rheology experiments show a stiffness in the order of kPa and a thermal resistance above 50 °C, much above the gel-sol transition temperature of pristine gelatin. After heating at 55 °C, the gel is self-healing. In addition, just after formulation, it shows strong peeling-rate-dependent adhesion to steel with a tensile work per unit area (W) of up to 100 ± 39 J/m2, which is 2.5 times higher than that of the same gel without PDA at a peeling rate of 1000 µm/s. The increase in W between peeling rates of 10 and 1000 µm/s was studied and interpreted in terms of the gels' viscoelasticity. Moreover, this hydrogel offers significant antioxidant activity (measured by DPPH scavenging) that lasts with storage for at least over 15 days, this being then prolonged for 2 additional days, which seems particularly relevant considering the importance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in wound healing. To summarize, PDA-gelatin gel is a promising strong and antioxidant adhesive.

Abstract
Recently, significant attention has been focused on the progression of skin equivalents to facilitate faster wound healing and thereby skin restoration. The main aim of this study was the design and characterization of a novel polysaccharide-based hydrogel scaffold by using alginate, pullulan, and hyaluronic acid polymers to provide an appropriate microenvironment to deliver Adipose-derived mesenchymal Stem Cells (ASC) in order to promote wound healing in an animal model. Characterization of synthesized hydrogel was done by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Also, contact angle analysis, the swelling and mechanical tests were performed. As a result of in vitro studies, cells can be attached, alive, and migrate through the prepared hydrogel scaffold. Finally, the therapeutic effect of the cell-seeded hydrogels was tested in the full-thickness animal wound model. Based on obtained results, the hydrogel-ASC treatment improved the healing process and accelerated wound closure.

[PMID: 37107238 PMCID: PMC10135245 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12040863] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Nanosized antioxidants are highly advantageous in terms of versatility and pharmacokinetics, with respect to conventional molecular ones. Melanin-like materials, artificial species inspired by natural melanin, combine recognized antioxidant (AOX) activity with a unique versatility of preparation and modification. Due to this versatility and documented biocompatibility, artificial melanin has been incorporated into a variety of nanoparticles (NP) in order to give new platforms for nanomedicine with enhanced AOX activity. In this review article, we first discuss the chemical mechanisms behind the AOX activity of materials in the context of the inhibition of the radical chain reaction responsible for the peroxidation of biomolecules. We also focus briefly on the AOX properties of melanin-like NP, considering the effect of parameters such as size, preparation methods and surface functionalization on them. Then, we consider the most recent and relevant applications of AOX melanin-like NPs that are able to counteract ferroptosis and be involved in the treatment of important diseases that affect, e.g., the cardiovascular and nervous systems, as well as the kidneys, liver and articulations. A specific section will be dedicated to cancer treatment, since the role of melanin in this context is still very debated. Finally, we propose future strategies in AOX development for a better chemical understanding of melanin-like materials. In particular, the composition and structure of these materials are still debated, and they present a high level of variability. Thus, a better understanding of the mechanism behind the interaction of melanin-like nanostructures with different radicals and highly reactive species would be highly advantageous for the design of more effective and specific AOX nano-agents.

Abstract
Burn injuries are a major global problem, with a high risk of infection and mortality. This study aimed to develop an injectable hydrogel for wound dressings, composed of sodium carboxymethylcellulose/polyacrylamide/polydopamine containing vitamin C (CMC/PAAm/PDA VitC) for its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Simultaneously, silk fibroin/alginate nanoparticles (SF/SANPs) loaded with curcumin (SF/SANPs CUR) were incorporated into the hydrogel to enhance wound regeneration and reduce bacterial infection. The hydrogels were fully characterized and tested in vitro and in preclinical rat models for biocompatibility, drug release, and wound healing efficacy. Results showed stable rheological properties, appropriate swelling and degradation ratios, gelation time, porosity, and free radical scavenging capacity. Biocompatibility was confirmed through MTT, lactate dehydrogenase, and apoptosis evaluations. Hydrogels containing curcumin demonstrated antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In the preclinical study, hydrogels containing both drugs showed superior support for full-thickness burn regeneration, with improved wound closure, re-epithelialization, and collagen expression. The hydrogels also showed neovascularization and anti-inflammatory effects, as confirmed by CD31 and TNF-α markers. In conclusion, these dual drug-delivery hydrogels showed significant potential as wound dressings for full-thickness wounds.

Abstract
Malignant tumors remain a high-risk disease with high mortality all over the world. Among all the cancer treatments, surgery is the primary approach in the clinical treatment of tumors. However, tumor invasion and metastasis pose challenges for complete tumor resection, accompanied by high recurrence rates and reduced quality of life. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore effective adjuvant therapies to prevent postoperative tumor recurrence and relieve the pain of the patients. Nowadays, the booming local drug delivery systems which can be applied as postoperative adjuvant therapies have aroused people's attention, along with the rapid development in the pharmaceutical and biological materials fields. Hydrogels are a kind of unique carrier with prominent biocompatibility among a variety of biomaterials. Due to their high similarity to human tissues, hydrogels which load drugs/growth factors can prevent rejection reactions and promote wound healing. In addition, hydrogels are able to cover the postoperative site and maintain sustained drug release for the prevention of tumor recurrence. In this review, we survey controlled drug delivery hydrogels such as implantable, injectable and sprayable formulations and summarize the properties required for hydrogels used as postoperative adjuvant therapies. The opportunities and challenges in the design and clinical application of these hydrogels are also elaborated.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) leads to the formation of an akinetic scar on the heart muscle causing impairment in cardiac contractility and conductance, leading to cardiac remodeling and heart failure (HF). The current pharmacological approaches for attenuating MI are limited and often come with long-term adverse effects. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel multimodal therapeutics capable of modulating cardiac activity without causing any major adverse effects. In the current study, we have demonstrated the applicability of polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA-NPs) as a bioactive agent that can enhance the contractility and beat propagation of human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs). Treatment of hiPSC-CMs with PDA-NPs demonstrated accumulation of the latter into mitochondria and significantly enhanced time-dependent adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in these cells, indicating improved mitochondrial bioenergetics. Furthermore, the effect of PDA-NPs on hiPSC-CM activity was evaluated by measuring calcium transients. Treatment with PDA-NPs increased the calcium cycling in hiPSC-CMs in a temporal manner. Our results demonstrated a significant reduction in peak amplitude, transient duration, time to peak, and transient decay time in the PDA-NPs-treated hiPSC-CMs as compared to untreated hiPSC-CMs. Additionally, treatment of isolated perfused rat heart ex vivo with PDA-NPs demonstrated cardiotonic effects on the heart and significantly improved the hemodynamic function, suggesting its potential for enhancing whole heart contractility. Lastly, the gene expression analysis data revealed that PDA-NPs significantly upregulated cardiac-specific genes (ACADM, MYL2, MYC, HCN1, MYL7, GJA5, and PDHA1) demonstrating the ability to modulate genetic expression of cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these findings suggest PDA-NPs capability as a versatile nanomaterial with potential uses in next-generation cardiovascular applications.

Abstract
The development of new preparations for managing skin lesions is a task requiring a complex research approach. Thus, one promising direction consists in the creation of new bases for wound-healing drugs for external application. Chemical compounds that can be used as such bases include polymeric hydrogels, representing spatially cross-linked macromolecules that swell in a solvent. This property provides an opportunity to load hydrogels with drugs of both synthetic and herbal origin. A search for a gel-forming polymer acting not only as a drug carrier, but also as a healing agent presents a relevant research task. In a previous work, the authors obtained polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride hydrogels by crosslinking terminal amino groups with formaldehyde. The conducted studies of the wound-healing capacity of the obtained hydrogels and compositions on their basis confirmed their comparability with such widely-used agents, as levomecol, bepanthene, etc. In addition, the obtained compositions were found to exhibit their own activity. Therefore, hydrogels based on polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride can be used as a promising platform for drug design. In this work, the destruction products released during hydrolysis of the hydrogel under study were investigated. IR and UV spectroscopy methods were applied to evaluate the concentration of hydrogel destruction products over time. A mechanism of hydrogel destruction yielding the initial polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride and formaldehyde in a gem-diol form is proposed.

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.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to prepare ciprofloxacin (CIP) or levofloxacin (LEVO)-incorporated and polydopamine (PDA)-coated nephrite composites for application in drug-eluting contact lenses. PDA was coated onto the surface of nephrite to improve antibacterial activity and to payload antibiotics. CIP or LEVO was incorporated into the PDA layer on the surface of nephrite. Furthermore, CIP-incorporated/PDA-coated nephrite composites were embedded into the contact lenses. PDA-coated nephrite composites showed dull and smooth surfaces according to the dopamine concentration while nephrite itself has sharp surface morphology. CIP- or LEVO-loaded/PDA-coated nephrite composites also have dull and smooth surface properties. Nano and/or sub-micron clusters were observed in field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) observation, indicating that PDA nanoparticles were accumulated and coated onto the surface of nephrite. Furthermore, CIP- or LEVO-incorporated/PDA-coated nephrite composites showed the sustained release of CIP or LEVO in vitro and these properties contributed to the enhanced antibacterial activity of composites compared to nephrite or PDA-coated nephrite composites. CIP-incorporated/PDA-coated nephrite composites were embedded in the contact lenses and then, in an antibacterial study, they showed higher bactericidal effect against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) compared to nephrite itself or PDA-coated nephrite composites. We suggest that CIP- or LEVO-loaded/PDA-coated nephrite composite-embedded contact lenses are a promising candidate for therapeutic application.

Abstract
Chronic wounds have been a global health threat over the past few decades, requiring urgent medical and research attention. The factors delaying the wound-healing process include obesity, stress, microbial infection, aging, edema, inadequate nutrition, poor oxygenation, diabetes, and implant complications. Biomaterials are being developed and fabricated to accelerate the healing of chronic wounds, including hydrogels, nanofibrous, composite, foam, spongy, bilayered, and trilayered scaffolds. Some recent advances in biomaterials development for healing both chronic and acute wounds are extensively compiled here. In addition, various properties of biomaterials for wound-healing applications and how they affect their performance are reviewed. Based on the recent literature, trilayered constructs appear to be a convincing candidate for the healing of chronic wounds and complete skin regeneration because they mimic the full thickness of skin: epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis. This type of scaffold provides a dense superficial layer, a bioactive middle layer, and a porous lower layer to aid the wound-healing process. The hydrophilicity of scaffolds aids cell attachment, cell proliferation, and protein adhesion. Other scaffold characteristics such as porosity, biodegradability, mechanical properties, and gas permeability help with cell accommodation, proliferation, migration, differentiation, and the release of bioactive factors.

Abstract
Designing biomaterials capable of biomimicking wound healing and skin regeneration has been receiving increasing attention recently. Some biopolymers behave similarly to the extracellular matrix (ECM), supporting biointerfacial adhesion and intrinsic cellular interactions. Polydopamine (PDA) is a natural bioadhesive and bioactive polymer that endows high chemical versatility, making it an exciting candidate for a wide range of biomedical applications. Moreover, biomaterials based on PDA and its derivatives have near-infrared (NIR) absorption, excellent biocompatibility, intrinsic antioxidative activity, antibacterial activity, and cell affinity. PDA can regulate cell behavior by controlling signal transduction pathways. It governs the focal adhesion behavior of cells at the biomaterials interface. These features make melanin-like PDA a fascinating biomaterial for wound healing and skin regeneration. This paper overviews PDA-based biomaterials' synthesis, properties, and interactions with biological entities. Furthermore, the utilization of PDA nano- and microstructures as a constituent of wound-dressing formulations is highlighted.

Abstract
Inert hydrogels are of a great importance in burn first aid. Hydrogel dressings may be an alternative to cooling burn wounds with streaming water, especially in cases of mass casualty events, lack of clean water, hypothermia, or large extent of burns. Hydrogels that contain mostly water evacuate the heat cumulating in the skin by evaporation. They not only cool the burn wound, but also reduce pain and protect the wound area from contamination and further injuries. Hydrogels are ideally used during the first hours after injury, but as they do not have antimicrobial properties per se, they might not prevent wound infection. The hydrogel matrix enables incorporating active substances into the dressing. The active forms may contain ammonium salts, nanocrystal silver, zinc, growth factor, cytokines, or cells, as well as natural agents, such as honey or herbs. Active dressings may have antimicrobial activity or stimulate wound healing. Numerous experiments on animal models proved their safety and efficiency. Hydrogels are a new dressing type that are still in development.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) has been gradually applied in wound healing of various types in the last three years. Due to its rich phenol groups and unique structure, it can be combined with a variety of materials to form wound dressings that can be used for chronic infection, tissue repair in vivo and serious wound healing. PDA complex has excellent mechanical properties and self-healing properties, and it is a stable material that can be used for a long period of time. Unlike other dressings, PDA complexes can achieve both photothermal therapy and electro activity. In this paper, wound healing is divided into four stages: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, cell adhesion and proliferation, and re-epithelialization. Photothermal therapy can improve the bacteriostatic rate and remove reactive oxygen species to inhibit inflammation. Electrical signals can stimulate cell proliferation and directional migration. With low reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, inflammatory factors are down-regulated and growth factors are up-regulated, forming regular collagen fibers and accelerating wound healing. Finally, five potential development directions are proposed, including increasing drug loading capacity, optimization of drug delivery platforms, improvement of photothermal conversion efficiency, intelligent electroactive materials and combined 3D printing.

Abstract
Background During wound healing, the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can break the cellular oxidant/antioxidant balance, which prolongs healing. The wound dressings targeting the mitigation of ROS will be of great advantages for the wound healing. puerarin (PUE) and ferulic acid (FA) are natural compounds derived from herbs that exhibit multiple pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Polydopamine (PDA) is made from natural dopamine and shows excellent antioxidant function. Therefore, the combination of natural antioxidants into hydrogel dressing is a promising therapy for wound healing. Results Hydrogel wound dressings have been developed by incorporating PUE or FA via PDA nanoparticles (NPs) into polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) hydrogel. This hydrogel can load natural antioxidant drugs and retain the drug in the gel network for a long period due to the presence of PDA NPs. Under oxidative stress, this hydrogel can improve the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase and reduce the levels of ROS and malondialdehyde, thus preventing oxidative damage to cells, and then promoting wound healing, tissue regeneration, and collagen accumulation. Conclusion Overall, this triple antioxidant hydrogel accelerates wound healing by alleviating oxidative injury. Our study thus provides a new way about co-delivery of multiple antioxidant natural molecules from herbs via antioxidant nanoparticles for wound healing and skin regeneration. Graphic Abstract ![]()

Abstract
Recently, the development of polydopamine (PDA) has demonstrated numerous excellent performances in free radical scavenging, UV shielding, photothermal conversion, and biocompatibility. These unique properties enable PDA to be widely used as efficient antibacterial materials for various applications. Accordingly, PDA antibacterial materials mainly include free-standing PDA materials and PDA-based composite materials. In this review, an overview of PDA antibacterial materials is provided to summarize these two types of antibacterial materials in detail, including the fabrication strategies and antibacterial mechanisms. The future development and challenges of PDA in this field are also presented. It is hoped that this review will provide an insight into the future development of antibacterial functional materials based on PDA.

Abstract
Dopamine is a small versatile molecule used for various biotechnological and biomedical applications. This neurotransmitter, in addition to its biological role, can undergo oxidative self-polymerization to yield polydopamine, a robust universal coating material. Herein, we harness dopamine self-polymerization to modulate the viscoelastic mechanical properties of peptide-based gels, expanding their ever-growing application potential. By combining rapid peptide assembly with slower dopamine auto-polymerization, a double network gel is formed, where the fibrillar peptide gel network serves as a scaffold for polydopamine deposition, allowing polydopamine to interpenetrate the gel network as well as establishing crosslinks within the matrix. We have shown that triggering the assembly of a lysine-rich peptide gelator in the presence of dopamine can increase the mechanical rigidity of the resultant gel by a factor of 90 in some cases, while retaining the gel's shear thin-recovery behavior. We further investigate how factors such as polymerization time, dopamine concentration and peptide concentration alter the mechanical properties of the resultant gel. The hybrid peptide-dopamine gel systems were characterized using rheological measurements, circular dichroism spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. Overall, triggering peptide gelation in the presence of dopamine represents a simple yet powerful approach to modulate the viscoelastic mechanical properties of peptide-based gels.
