AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Bioinspired self-healing materials are being developed with intrinsic or extrinsic mechanisms. Some materials heal by an external stimulus, such as heat, UV light, pH, electric field and humidity. Hydrogels are among the commonly used materials, which can self-heal by application of an external stimulus. In this study, a self-healing polyacrylamide hydrogel was selected which is known to swell when exposed to water and heal. Silica nanoparticles were added to the hydrogel and a fluorosilane overcoat was used to produce a superliquiphobic surface with a low tilt angle and self-cleaning properties. A fused titania coating on the glass substrate was used to promote adhesion to hydrogel coatings. Hydrogel-based coatings exhibited the ability to repel water and oil, anti-icing properties down to -60°C, self-cleaning, the ability to maintain superliquiphobicity in hot environments up to about 95°C and high wear resistance. The hydrogel-based coating also demonstrated self-healing capability after hydration of a scratched surface. This article is part of the theme issue 'Bioinspired materials and surfaces for green science and technology (part 2)'.

Instant adhesion to wet biological surfaces and reduced swelling of tissue adhesives are crucial for rapid wound closure and hemostasis. However, previous strategies to reduce swelling were always accompanied by a decrease in the tissue bonding strength of the adhesive. Moreover, the irreducibility of the covalent bonds in currently reported adhesives results in the adhesives losing their tissue adhesive ability.

Oncostatin M (OSM) is a pleiotropic cytokine that can significantly enhance wound healing. Here, we report on the use of nanoparticles (NPs) formulated from a genetically engineered A200_hOSM protein polymer, which combines an elastin-like recombinamer (A200) with human OSM (hOSM) in the same molecule, aiming at enhancing wound healing processes. A200_hOSM NPs were obtained by self-assembly and evaluated for their bioactivity in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts.

Future structural materials is not only be lightweight, strong, and tough, but also capable of integrating functions like sensing, adaptation, self-healing, deformation, and recovery as needed. Although bio-inspired materials are well developed, directly integrating microelectronic patterns into nacre-mimetic structures remains challenging, limiting the widespread application of electronic biomimetic materials. Here, an in situ freeze-drying method is reported for the successful preparation of porous silk fibroin materials that can achieve dry bonding.

Chronic diabetic wounds seriously threaten the health and life of human beings, however, it is challenging to develop pluripotent dressings that comprehensively remodel inflammation microenvironment, neovascularization and reepithelization to achieve high performance healing in diabetic wounds. Herein we construct a bioinspired polysaccharide coordinated hydrogel composed of bisphosphate-modified β-glucan (BG) with bioactive metal ions of Zn and Mg, in which multiple chelation enables fast gelation, self-healing, and dynamically sealing wounds. In vitro Mg release from BGM or BGMZ could promote intracellular uptake of Zn through upregulating Zn-related transporter protein ZIP6 while intracellular Mg remained relatively stable via downregulating the Mg transporter protein of MagT1.
