Furthermore, bulk 3D MeHA hydrogels functionalized with TNC supported cell viability and sustained neuronal differentiation, demonstrating translational relevance for future scaffold-based neural repair.

We demonstrate that native mechanosensing interactions and their downstream functions are precisely controlled using synthetic hydrogels. We introduce a microfluidic-assisted synthesis of imine-crosslinked hyaluronic acid-gelatin copolymer hydrogels (HAG), enabling controlled, predefined gradient viscoelasticity. Specifically, three native tissues (muscle, epidermis, and cartilage)-mimicking HAG hydrogels were prepared, matching their effective Young's modulus (Ymod) and stress relaxation time (<i>τ</i><sub>1/2</sub>). Enhanced cell spreading and directional cell migration are observed, with a preference for substrates with tissue-matching viscoelasticity. These mechanosensing reactions are confirmed by traction force microscopy, revealing a tight correlation between native tissue mechano-properties and the hydrogel viscoelastic parameters. We demonstrate that the signaling efficacies of the FAK and associated YAP/TAZ pathways, central regulators of FA formation and cell migration, are tuned by substrate tissue-matching viscoelasticity. We implement these preprogrammed viscoelastic gradient hydrogels as spatiotemporal cell-separation matrices, enabling viscoelasticity-driven migration of binary cell mixtures.

We report here on the synthesis of a nonionic peptide amphiphile (PA) containing a decaethylene glycol segment and its supramolecular co-assembly with ionic PA monomers as a strategy to produce uncharged assemblies and to fine tune charge density. We show that while morphology and internal structure depend on counterion screening and on pH for charged PA assemblies, these nonionic molecules self-assemble to form high-aspect ratio filaments containing β-sheets stable with or without ion screening and at acidic, neutral, and basic pH. By co-assembling nonionic PA molecules with charged PA molecules, we could produce supramolecular copolymers with tunable surface charge density, yet with stronger internal order than either fully charged or fully uncharged assemblies. Using an <i>in vitro</i> model for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, we found that supramolecular assemblies containing nonionic molecules or co-assemblies of both nonionic and ionic PA molecules exhibit greater bioactivity than assemblies containing only charged molecules. We hypothesize that the enhanced bioactivity originates in the synergy between protein binding by PA molecules and increased supramolecular dynamics introduced by the nonionic ethylene glycol segments.

The modified surfaces exhibit pronounced superhydrophilicity (contact angle of ∼3-4°) while maintaining high visible transparency, enabling effective antifogging performance. The coatings further demonstrate self-cleaning behaviour by efficiently removing hydrophobic particulates upon simple water rinsing. Importantly, above a threshold coating concentration, the surfaces display potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as drug-resistant fungal strains.
