This study introduced a biocompatible hydrogel wound dressing, synthesized through a green chemistry approach, specifically designed to meet the dual needs of acute and chronic wound care. The innovative strategy utilized sustainable biomaterials, soy protein, and vanillin, to construct a physical-reversible chemical dual-cross-linked hydrogel exhibiting high mechanical strength, excellent adhesion, and toughness. Schiff base reversible covalent bonds enabled rapid self-healing within 10 s, significantly improving durability. In a rat liver hemorrhage model, the hydrogel rapidly sealed wounds, achieving effective hemostasis, indicating great potential for acute wound care. Furthermore, vanillin imparted the hydrogel with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, effectively accelerating diabetic chronic wound healing. This safe and efficient advanced biobased hydrogel offers a novel perspective for wound treatment and holds significant promise for clinical applications.","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143699086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three galactose-bearing monomers (acrylate, methacrylate, 4-vinylbenzoate) were polymerized via PET-RAFT under optimized light conditions, achieving satisfactory Mn and relatively narrow Đ. Mechanistic studies revealed that photoexcited MTPPZnH transfers electrons/energy to CTA via a PET process, initiating polymerization, with DMSO enhancing oxygen depletion. Water-soluble glycopolymeric photosensitizers exhibited high fluorescence and singlet oxygen quantum yield. In vitro, galactose-bearing photosensitizers showed superior ASGPR-mediated endocytosis in HepG2 cells over Huh-7 and MCF-7 cells, enabling targeted PDT.

In our study, G-WTVs with varying molecular weights of glycopolymers were constructed. Compared to unmodified tumor cells, all G-WTVs effectively induced the polarization of macrophages toward the M1 phenotype and promoted the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This enhanced immune response was attributed to the improved interactions between G-WTVs and the macrophages. Among the G-WTVs, the medium molecular weight variant demonstrated the most pronounced enhancement of antitumor immune responses. Notably, the administration of optimized G-WTVs effectively inhibited the growth of B16 melanoma in mice. Our findings provide a new approach to enhance the antitumor efficacy of WTVs via cell membrane glycopolymer engineering, offering a promising strategy for tumor immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although many studies have focused on bulk gel systems involving polysaccharides and proteins, more research is needed to investigate their properties at the microscale level. In this context, we have developed a microgel system based on a pectin/fibroin combination and investigated its properties. We focused on two gelation mechanisms: physical cross-linking and enzymatic covalent cross-linking. The pectin/fibroin microgels were fabricated using droplet-based microfluidics, and the secondary structure, mechanical properties, and degradation profiles were investigated. Our experimental results show that the microgels exhibit an ordered β-sheet structure, a Young's modulus in the range of 10 to 20 kPa, and that degradation can be promoted using protease enzymes. Finally, the biocompatibility of the microgels is assessed using the Alamar Blue cell viability assay with human pulmonary fibroblasts (HPFs).

OEI-TK self-assembles electrostatically with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to form stable nanoparticles (OTB NPs) with excellent encapsulation efficiency. In vitro studies confirmed that OTB NPs retained OEI-TK's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, enhanced biocompatibility, and efficiently delivered BSA into cells. Furthermore, OEI-TK facilitated the intracellular delivery of β-galactosidase while preserving its enzymatic activity, demonstrating its potential for functional protein transport.

The resultant sericin-glycyrrhizic acid-Ag+ hydrogel (SGA) demonstrates favorable mechanical properties, effectively preventing secondary injury to wounds. Moreover, in vitro studies indicated that the SGA hydrogel possesses excellent swelling ratios, degradability, and cytocompatibility, promoting cell growth and proliferation. Notably, the SGA hydrogel exhibited effective antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria through the release of Ag+. In a Staphylococcus aureus-infected wound model, the SGA hydrogel efficiently eradicated bacteria, thus promoting wound repair. Overall, our work establishes a novel strategy for developing multifunctional hydrogel dressings based on natural materials for managing bacteria-infected wounds.","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143655464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, we have attempted to create N-cadherin mimetic peptide (NcMP) hydrogel scaffolds by incorporating cations as the external stimulus to create a suitable interface for favorable cellular interactions. Inspired by the Hofmeister series, we selected four biologically significant cations, classified as kosmotropes and chaotropes, and varied their concentrations to investigate how increasing ionic strength affects the self-assembly of the NcMP. Interestingly, the incorporation of these ions greatly influenced the self-assembling propensity of the Fmoc-HAVDI hydrogel, which resulted in diverse structural and mechanical properties. Such diverse physical properties led to differential cellular responses. Thus, we were able to access diverse physical and biological properties in a single gelator molecule by simply changing the nature and concentration of the biologically relevant cations. We anticipate that these diverse hydrogel systems hold great potential in various biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143646495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herein, a wet tissue bioadhesive based on coacervates formed from low- molecular-weight methacrylated chitosan (CSMA) and hyaluronic acid (HA) is reported. These homogeneous and transparent coacervates displayed high solid content (∼18.0%), fluidity (∼105 mPa·s), and tunable mechanical properties. Upon application to wet tissue surfaces, the coacervate can be photo-cross-linked to form a double-network hydrogel in situ, resulting in improved cohesion and durable adhesion. The resulting CSMA-HA hydrogel demonstrated robust adhesion to tissues, with a bursting pressure of 374 mmHg. Remarkably, the bursting pressure can be further enhanced (∼623 mmHg) after 24 h of PBS immersion due to dynamic bond reorganization and low swelling.

The SEC-SAXS approach is proven in this study to effectively eliminate aggregates, enhancing data quality and revealing intricate details of protein-polymer associations. Initial findings demonstrate that HSA maintains its native structure across pH 5-8 and that HSA shows no significant interaction with the neutral polyethylene glycol (PEG). This highlights the critical role of charge regulation and electrostatic forces in HSA-PAA complex formation previously reported and the specificity of this interaction. The study further reveals that the HSA-PAA complex stoichiometry is highly dependent on PAA size, with larger PAA chains forming more elongated structures. The binding stoichiometry is then shown to increase nonlinearly, suggesting a delicate balance between attractive HSA-PAA and repulsive HSA-HSA interactions. Notably, HSA-PAA complexes exhibit reversible behavior, dissociating at pH > 5 and in media devoid of PAA.","PeriodicalId":30,"journal":{"name":"Biomacromolecules","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143646492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
