Polydopamine-coated ZIF-67 (ZIF-67@PDA) was employed as the energy acceptor to construct an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) immunosensor for sensitive carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detection. The advantages of ECL immunosensor are primarily manifested in the following three aspects: (1) Zn-TBAPy not only mitigates ACQ caused by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon π-π stacking but also enhances chromophore loading capacity and specific surface area. Relative to aggregate systems, the Zn-TBAPy exhibits a 2.5-fold enhancement in ECL signal intensity. (2) ZIF-67@PDA exhibits favorable broad-spectrum absorption characteristics and excellent quenching efficiency; as well as demonstrates superior biocompatibility for immunosensor construction. (3) The immunosensor was constructed through an electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) mechanism, yielding markedly improved sensitivity; the developed sensor demonstrated a linear detection range from100 fg·mL<sup>-1</sup> to 80 ng·mL<sup>-1</sup>with LOD) of 0.275 pg·mL<sup>-1</sup>.

Our design strategy employs solvent-exchange-induced self-assembly of hydrophobic segments to engineer hydrophobic microdomains, coupled with the synergistic effects of hydrogen/ionic/coordination bonds as multicrosslinked networks, resulting in a marine-tolerant hydrogel with a \"hydrophobic microdomain-multicrosslinked\" network structure. An \"interfacial drainage-multivalent bonding\" dual-effect adhesion strategy is proposed: the interfacial drainage effect induced by silicone oil and hydrophobic microdomains enables tight tissue-gel anchoring, while the cooperative interactions of hydrogen/carbon-nitrogen/carbon-sulfur bonds synergistically achieve strong interfacial adhesion, achieving stable wet adhesion in marine environments. Furthermore, glutathione can cleave the disulfide bonds within the gel and the carbon-sulfur bonds between the gel and tissue, facilitating non-invasive detachment. Besides, the incorporation of zinc oxide nanoparticles provides broad-spectrum antibacterial functionality.

Herein, we present a novel sprayable double-network hydrogel platform designed to achieve efficient antimicrobial activity and accelerated wound repair under hypoxic conditions by leveraging a type I photodynamic therapy (PDT) and immune-metabolic regulatory strategy. Specifically, we employ salvianolic acid B (SAB) to form a self-assembled hydrogel (SAB-gel) and incorporate fibrin to construct a robust and acidic double-network SAB/F-gel with enhanced mechanical strength and acidic environment. Concurrently, thymoquinone (TQ) and chlorin e6 (Ce6) are self-assembled via hydrophobic interactions to form TQ/Ce6 nanoparticles (TQ/Ce6 NPs) and embedded in the SAB/F-gel, to fabricate the TQ/Ce6@SAB/F-gel. Under low-oxygen conditions, TQ acts as an electron-transfer mediator, enabling Ce6 to generate abundant superoxide anions (·O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup>) via type I PDT under red light (RL) irradiation. These ·O<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> are subsequently converted into hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) and hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in the acidic environment provided by acidic SAB/F-gel, thereby reducing the dependence on oxygen and maintaining potent antimicrobial efficacy against MRSA, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa), Acinetobacter baumannii (Ab), Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Candida albicans (Ca). In vitro experiments demonstrated that TQ/Ce6@SAB/F-gel regulates macrophage M2 polarization and promotes endothelial cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation via the immune-metabolic regulatory pathways. When applied to MRSA-infected diabetic wounds in mice, the hydrogel in combination with RL completely eradicated bacteria, promoted collagen deposition and angiogenesis, and significantly accelerated wound closure, as demonstrated by histological examination and transcriptome sequencing.
