Regulating cell-surface interactions plays a key role for biomaterials and their applications in cell-based therapies. In this paper, we demonstrated a dual-responsive hydrogel platform to achieve phototriggered protein immobilization and reduction-induced protein release. By -nitrobenzyl photochemistry, including sequential aldehyde generation upon light irradiation and imine ligation with amine compounds, adhesive proteins can be effectively immobilized on the hydrogel with spatial and quantitative control, thus mediating cell adhesion in designed areas. By reduction chemistry of the disulfide bond, the patterned proteins can be released from the hydrogel, thus detaching cells in a noninvasive manner. Finally, the dynamic adsorption-dissociation of proteins enables the hydrogel to be tactfully used for cell sheet harvesting in an enzyme-free mode with light-defined shapes. This work not only provides an efficient strategy for recovery of cells and cell sheets but also provides insights into cell-material interactions mediated by proteins.

Hydrogel indicators promise to monitor food spoilage, but their poor mechanics can cause defects in transport. Herein, a novel zwitterionic double network (DN) hydrogel was developed by polymerizing arylamide and sulfobetaine methacrylate in an alginate-Ca system. This hydrogel exhibited enhanced mechanical properties, including a maximum 2087 % breaking elongation and 135 ± 12 kJ/m toughness, significantly outperforming the current zwitterionic DN hydrogels, which typically exhibit less than 1800 % breaking elongation, capable of supporting 150 g-136 times its own weight.

Electrochromism stands out as a highly promising technology for applications including variable optical attenuators, optical switches, transparent displays, and dynamic windows. The pursuit of high-contrast tunability in electrochromic devices remains a challenging goal. Here, the first photochromic hydrogel electrolyte is reported for electro- and photo-dual responsive chromatic devices that yield a high transmittance contrast at 633 nm (ΔT = 83.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a complicated pathophysiological process, and there is now no recognized treatment. Hyperglycemia, neuropathy, impaired angiogenesis, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products construct the distinctive wound environment of diabetic wounds. This study aimed to develop naringenin-ferulic acid beeswax-based nanoconstructs enriched dual-responsive hydrogel (NAR-FA NLC HG) for topical application for DFU.
