Article Abstract
Scaffold hydrogel biomaterials designed to have advantageous biofunctional properties, which can be applied for controlled bioactive agent release, represent an important concept in biomedical tissue engineering. Our goal was to create scaffolding materials that mimic living tissue for biomedical utilization. In this study, two novel series of interpenetrating hydrogel networks (IPNs) based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/gelatin and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/alginate were crosslinked using N-ethyl-N'-(3-dimethyl aminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). Characterization included examining the effects of crosslinker type and concentration on structure, morphological and mechanical properties, in vitro swelling, hydrophilicity as well as on the in vitro cell viability (fibroblast cells) and in vivo () interactions of novel biomaterials. The engineered IPN hydrogel scaffolds show an interconnected pore morphology and porosity range of 62.36 to 85.20%, favorable in vitro swelling capacity, full hydrophilicity, and Young's modulus values in the range of 1.40 to 7.50 MPa. In vitro assay on healthy human fibroblast (MRC5 cells) by MTT test and in vivo () survival assays show the advantageous biocompatible properties of novel IPN hydrogel scaffolds. Furthermore, in vitro controlled release study of the therapeutic agent resveratrol showed that these novel scaffolding systems are suitable controlled release platforms. The results revealed that the use of EDC and the combination of EDC/NHS crosslinkers can be applied to prepare and tune the properties of the IPN 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/alginate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate/gelatin hydrogel scaffolds series, which have shown great potential for biomedical engineering applications.

Bacterial infections can lead to severe complications that adversely affect wound healing. Thus, the development of effective wound dressings has become a major focus in the biomedical field, as current solutions remain insufficient for treating complex, particularly chronic wounds. Designing an optimal environment for healing and tissue regeneration is essential.

Severe burns pose significant threats to patient well-being, characterized by pain, inflammation, bacterial infection, and extended recovery periods. While exosome-loaded hydrogels have demonstrated considerable promise in wound healing, current formulations often fall short of achieving optimal therapeutic efficacy for burn wounds due to challenges related to their adaptability to wound shape and limited anti-bacterial capabilities. In this study a novel exosome laden sprayable thermosensitive polysaccharide-based hydrogel (ADA-aPF127@LL18/Exo) comprising alginate dialdehyde (ADA) and aminated Pluronic F127 (aPF127) was fabricated via Schiff base reaction.

Hydrogel-based scaffolds have been widely investigated for their use in tissue engineering to accelerate tissue regeneration. However, replicating the physiological microenvironments of tissues with appropriate biological cues remains challenging. Recent advances in gradient hydrogels have transformed tissue-engineering research by providing precise structures that mimic the extracellular matrix of natural tissues.

Acute severe trauma is often associated with rapid blood loss and a high risk of infection. Based on these concerns, this study successfully constructed a multifunctional dual-layer bioactive sponge PCCT with rapid hemostatic and infection-preventing ability. Its external surface is an electrospun poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofiber thin film layer, which ensures its high air permeability and effectively protects against external bacterial invasion.

Article Synopsis
- - Periodontitis is a chronic disease caused by dental plaque that can lead to tooth loss, and existing treatments often fail to effectively eliminate harmful biofilms and excessive inflammation.
- - Researchers have developed an injectable nanoenzyme hydrogel called GDY-Fe@HA-DA, which has strong tissue adhesion and antibacterial properties, and works even better when exposed to near-infrared laser light.
- - This new hydrogel has shown promising results in treating bacterial infections and promoting healing in both skin wounds and rat models of periodontitis, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option for oral health and tissue injuries.
