Abstract
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely distributed in human connective tissue, and its unique biological and physicochemical properties and ability to facilitate biological structure repair make it a promising candidate for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting in the field of tissue regeneration and biomedical engineering. Moreover, HA is an ideal raw material for bioinks in tissue engineering because of its histocompatibility, non-immunogenicity, biodegradability, anti-inflammatory properties, anti-angiogenic properties, and modifiability. Tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field focusing on in vitro reconstructions of mammalian tissues, such as cartilage tissue engineering, neural tissue engineering, skin tissue engineering, and other areas that require further clinical applications. In this review, we first describe the modification methods, cross-linking methods, and bioprinting strategies for HA and its derivatives as bioinks and then critically discuss the strengths, shortcomings, and feasibility of each method. Subsequently, we reviewed the practical clinical applications and outcomes of HA bioink in 3D bioprinting. Finally, we describe the challenges and opportunities in the development of HA bioink to provide further research references and insights.

Abstract
Abdominal hernias are common issues in the clinical setting, burdening millions of patients worldwide. Associated with pain, decreased quality of life, and severe potential complications, abdominal wall hernias should be treated as soon as possible. Whether an open repair or laparoscopic surgical approach is tackled, mesh reinforcement is generally required to ensure a durable hernia repair. Over the years, numerous mesh products have been made available on the market and in clinical settings, yet each of the currently used meshes presents certain limitations that reflect on treatment outcomes. Thus, mesh development is still ongoing, and emerging solutions have reached various testing stages. In this regard, this paper aims to establish an up-to-date framework on abdominal meshes, briefly overviewing currently available solutions for hernia repair and discussing in detail the most recent advances in the field. Particularly, there are presented the developments in lightweight materials, meshes with improved attachment, antimicrobial fabrics, composite and hybrid textiles, and performant mesh designs, followed by a systematic review of recently completed clinical trials.

Abstract
Polypropylene (PP) sling implantation is the most commonly performed procedure for women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, concerns have arisen regarding complications caused by slings, including the common issue of erosion, which can be attributed to various factors such as the body's response and bacterial contamination. To address these concerns, we have developed a rectangular mesh self-locking edge sling with a large pore size and lightweight design. Promising results have been obtained from preliminary in vivo mechanical reliability tests, including uniaxial tensile tests. In comparative in vitro fixed load tensile tests and simulated Tension-free Vaginal Tape (TVT) and Transobturator Vaginal Tape inside-out (TVT-O) technique tests using commercial slings, our sling demonstrated less transverse wrinkling. Both slings achieved an effective porosity of over 45% under the TVT technique. However, the commercial sling experienced a significant reduction in effective porosity during the TVT-O technique, whereas our sling maintained a stable effective porosity with minimal wrinkling. Furthermore, we successfully developed cationic hydration rejection-driven antibacterial-anti-fouling coatings on the surface of our sling by grafting hyperbranched poly-lysine (HBPL) mediated by polynorepinephrine. The HBPL coating imparts a positive charge and hydrophilicity to the sling, resulting in elevated bactericidal activity and reducing protein adhesion. An optimal grafting concentration of 20 mg mL-1 was selected, confirming the stability and biocompatibility of the sling coating. This coating is expected to reduce the likelihood of postoperative erosion. Overall, our research represents significant advancements in improving the safety and performance of PP slings for stress urinary incontinence, potentially leading to a reduction in complications following surgery.

Abstract
Hernia reconstruction is one of the most frequently practiced surgical procedures worldwide. Plastic surgery plays a pivotal role in reestablishing desired abdominal wall structure and function without the drawbacks traditionally associated with general surgery as excessive tension, postoperative pain, poor repair outcomes, and frequent recurrence. Surgical meshes have been the preferential choice for abdominal wall hernia repair to achieve the physical integrity and equivalent components of musculofascial layers. Despite the relevant progress in recent years, there are still unsolved challenges in surgical mesh design and complication settlement. This review provides a systemic summary of the hernia surgical mesh development deeply related to abdominal wall hernia pathology and classification. Commercial meshes, the first-generation prosthetic materials, and the most commonly used repair materials in the clinic are described in detail, addressing constrain side effects and rational strategies to establish characteristics of ideal hernia repair meshes. The engineered prosthetics are defined as a transit to the biomimetic smart hernia repair scaffolds with specific advantages and disadvantages, including hydrogel scaffolds, electrospinning membranes, and three-dimensional patches. Lastly, this review critically outlines the future research direction for successful hernia repair solutions by combing state-of-the-art techniques and materials.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Drug treatment is one of the main ways of coping with disease today. For the disadvantages of drug management, thermosensitive hydrogel is used as a countermeasure, which can realize the simple sustained release of drugs and the controlled release of drugs in complex physiological environments. AREAS COVERED This paper talks about thermosensitive hydrogels that can be used as drug carriers. The common preparation materials, material forms, thermal response mechanisms, characteristics of thermosensitive hydrogels for drug release and main disease treatment applications are reviewed. EXPERT OPINION When thermosensitive hydrogels are used as drug loading and delivery platforms, desired drug release patterns and release profiles can be tailored by selecting raw materials, thermal response mechanisms, and material forms. The properties of hydrogels prepared from synthetic polymers will be more stable than natural polymers. Integrating multiple thermosensitive mechanisms or different kinds of thermosensitive mechanisms on the same hydrogel is expected to realize the spatiotemporal differential delivery of multiple drugs under temperature stimulation. The industrial transformation of thermosensitive hydrogels as drug delivery platforms needs to meet some important conditions.

Abstract
Hydrogels are 3D network structures composed of physically or chemically crosslinked, hydrophilic molecules. Compared with conventional hydrogels with static and permanent network structures, injectable and responsive hydrogels generated from dynamic networks, have attracted increasing attention from various disciplines due to their wide-ranging applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, soft robotics, etc. Herein, an injectable self-healing and multiple-responsive hyaluronic acid (HA)- histamine (His)/metal hydrogel is developed by modifying His onto HA and the subsequent, dynamic coordination between imidazole and metal ions. The pH-responsive and mechanical behaviors exhibited by the HA-His/metal hydrogels are tunable with the kinds and the concentrations of metal ions. The HA-His/Zr4+ hydrogels demonstrate a moldable capability at a neutral pH and a multi-stimulus-responsive capability when exposed to a weak alkaline environment and hyaluronidase, which inhibits bacterial growth and biofilm formation. Biocompatibilities and accelerated wound healing are demonstrated in vitro and in vivo and are thoroughly investigated and well characterized. The HA-His/Zr4+ hydrogel has great potential in various biomedical applications, such as pH- and hyaluronidase-responsive sustained release, antibacterial, and implantable materials for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Many infections are associated with the use of implantable medical devices. The excessive utilization of antibiotic treatment has resulted in the development of antimicrobial resistance. Consequently, scientists have recently focused on conceiving new ways for treating infections with a longer duration of action and minimum environmental toxicity. One approach in infection control is based on the development of antimicrobial coatings based on polymers and antimicrobial peptides, also termed as “natural antibiotics”.

Abstract
Throughout the past few years, hernia incidence has remained at a high level worldwide, with more than 20 million people requiring hernia surgery each year. Synthetic hernia meshes play an important role, providing a microenvironment that attracts and harbors host cells and acting as a permanent roadmap for intact abdominal wall reconstruction. Nevertheless, it is still inevitable to cause not-so-trivial complications, especially chronic pain and adhesion. In long-term studies, it was found that the complications are mainly caused by excessive fibrosis from the foreign body reaction (FBR) and infection resulting from bacterial colonization. For a thorough understanding of their complex mechanism and providing a richer background for mesh development, herein, we discuss different clinical mesh products and explore the interactions between their structure and complications. We further explored progress in reducing mesh complications to provide varied strategies that are informative and instructive for mesh modification in different research directions. We hope that this work will spur hernia mesh designers to step up their efforts to develop more practical and accessible meshes by improving the physical structure and chemical properties of meshes to combat the increasing risk of adhesions, infections, and inflammatory reactions. We conclude that further work is needed to solve this pressing problem, especially in the analysis and functionalization of mesh materials, provided of course that the initial performance of the mesh is guaranteed.

Abstract
Despite decades of biomedical advances, the colonization of implant devices with bacterial biofilms is still a leading cause of implant failure. Clearly, new strategies and materials that suppress both initial and later stage bacterial colonization are required in this context. Ideal would be the implementation of a bactericidal functionality in the implants that is temporally and spatially triggered in an autonomous fashion at the infection site. Herein, the fabrication and validation of functional titanium-based implants with triggered antibiotic release function afforded via an intelligent polymer coating is reported. In particular, thermo-responsive poly(di(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (PDEGMA) brushes on titanium implants synthesized via a surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization with activators regenerated through the electron transfer technique (ARGET ATRP) allows for a controlled and thermally triggered release of the antibiotic levofloxacin at the wound site. Antibiotic loaded brushes are investigated as a function of thickness, loading capacity for antibiotics, and temperature. At temperatures of the infection site >37 °C the lower critical solution temperature behavior of the brushes afforded the triggered release. Hence, in addition to the known antifouling effects, the PDEGMA coating ensured enhanced bactericidal effects, as demonstrated in initial in vivo tests with rodents infected with Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract
Meshes have been the overwhelmingly popular choice for the repair of abdominal wall defects to retrieve the bodily integrity of musculofascial layer. Broadly, they are classified into synthetic, biological and composite mesh based on their mechanical and biocompatible features. With the development of anatomical repair techniques and the increasing requirements of constructive remodeling, however, none of these options satisfactorily manages the conditional repair. In both preclinical and clinical studies, materials/agents equipped with distinct functions have been characterized and applied to improve mesh-aided repair, with the importance of mesh functionalization being highlighted. However, limited information exists on systemic comparisons of the underlying mechanisms with respect to functionalized strategies, which are fundamental throughout repair and regeneration. Herein, we address this topic and summarize the current literature by subdividing common functions of the mesh into biomechanics-matched, macrophage-mediated, integration-enhanced, anti-infective and antiadhesive characteristics for a comprehensive overview. In particular, we elaborate their effects separately with respect to host response and integration and discuss their respective advances, challenges and future directions toward a clinical alternative. From the vastly different approaches, we provide insight into the mechanisms involved and offer suggestions for personalized modifications of these emerging meshes.
