In this study, we designed bisphosphonate-conjugated polyanionic hyaluronic acid (HA) microbeads (MBs) for the controlled delivery of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2). MBs were prepared via the photo-crosslinking of bisphosphonate (alendronate)-conjugated methacrylated HA (Alen-MHA). The polyanionic Alen-MHA MBs actively absorbed cationic BMP2 up to 91.0% of the loading efficacy and displayed a sustained release of BMP2 for 10 days. BMP2/Alen-MHA MBs induced osteogenic-related genes in cellular experiments and showed the highly increased bone formation efficacy in thigh muscle injection and rat spinal fusion animal models. Thus, BMP2/Alen-MHA MBs provide a promising opportunity to improve the delivery efficiency of BMP2.

Synthetic and natural polymers are widely used for constructing drug delivery systems. Biocompatibility, water solubility and non-toxicity make polymers a convenient matrix for encapsulation, delivery and release of bioactive compounds. Coupling of a drug with a biodegraded polymer matrix is a promising way for a controlled drug delivery.

The impact of electrical stimulation has been widely investigated on the wound healing process; however, its practicality is still challenging. This study explores the effect of electrical stimulation on fibroblasts in a culture medium containing different electrically-charged polysaccharide derivatives including alginate, hyaluronate, and chitosan derivatives. For this aim, an electrical stimulation, provided by a zigzag triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), was exerted on fibroblasts in the presence of polysaccharides' solutions.

The current treatments for wounds often fail to induce adequate healing, leaving wounds vulnerable to persistent infections and development of drug-resistant microbial biofilms. New natural-derived nanoparticles were studied to impair bacteria colonization and hinder the formation of biofilms in wounds. The nanoparticles were fabricated through polyelectrolyte complexation of chitosan (CS, polycation) and hyaluronic acid (HA, polyanion).

In addition to transmitting and carrying genetic information, RNA plays an important abiotic role in the world of nanomaterials. RNA is a natural polyanionic biomacromolecule, and its ability to promote osteogenesis by binding with other inorganic materials as an osteogenic induction agent was discovered only recently. However, whether it can promote osseointegration on implants has not been reported.

Electronic address:

Postoperative abdominal adhesions are a common clinical problem after surgery and can cause many serious complications. Current most commonly used antiadhesion products are less effective due to their short residence time and focus primary on barrier function. Herein, we developed a sprayable hydrogel barrier (sHA-ADH/OHA-E) with self-regulated drug release based on ROS levels at the trauma site, to serve as a smart inflammatory microenvironment modulator and GATA6 macrophages trap for non-adherent recovery from abdominal surgery.
