Abstract
Programmable asymmetric hydrogels with tunable structure/shape or physical/chemical properties in response to external stimuli show particular significance in smart systems, but there is lack of simple, rapid, and cheap strategy to design such hydrogel systems. Herein, we report a one-step electrodeposition method to construct chitosan asymmetric hydrogels with tunable thickness and pore size that can be conveniently modulated by the process parameters. Our approach greatly simplifies the process of hydrogel preparation with complex shapes and asymmetric structure organization. The formation mechanism of asymmetric structure has been proposed, based on gelation behavior and entanglement of chitosan chains in the hydrogel-solution system under the electric field. By changing the shape of the electrodes, hydrogels with the morphology of strip, tube, flower, etc. can be obtained precisely and conveniently. They can perform programmable 2D to 3D smart dynamic deformation under pH and metal ions stimulation, indicating the broad application potential in soft robot and biosensor areas.

Abstract
Starches can be used to form edible or biodegradable films, and recently modified starches have been used to form self-supporting films by casting from aqueous solution. In this work, we aimed to propose a novel starch-based composite biomaterial matrix for use in biomedical applications, especially tissue engineering. The goal of the study was to evaluate the cytocompatibility of composite hydrogels of methylated starch and chitosan, using glutaraldehyde as the cross-linker. Commercial cassava starch with high purity (96.69%) was methylated with dimethyl sulfate in order to obtain a rigid material that could possibly render stronger mechanical properties to chitosan hydrogels. Therefore, methylated starch was mixed with a solution of chitosan and the cross-linking was induced by the addition of glutaraldehyde, allowing the formation of hydrogel films which were visualized under scanning electron microscopy. The method of fabrication was optimized based on the capacity of the cells to attach to the material and proliferate. After thorough washes with ethanol and saline solution, human fibroblasts were seeded on top of the gels and allowed to grow for 3 to 5 days. Cell viability was measured using an (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) MMT assay, and cell morphology was visualized by light microscopy. It was found that cells were viable at every time point, with their metabolic activity comparable to the controls (tissue culture plastic and chitosan alone), as well as clear cell–matrix interactions. Moreover, an increase in the metabolic activity over time indicated the capacity of the material to support cell proliferation. The proposed methylated starch–chitosan system is an excellent matrix that allows cell adhesion and could thereby be further assessed as a scaffold for tissue engineering.

Abstract
The interest in ulvan within a biomedical framework increases as the knowledge of this polysaccharide evolves. Ulvan has been recently proposed as a potential biomaterial, and structures based on this polysaccharide are now being studied for different biomedical applications. In this work, a novel porous structure based on cross-linked ulvan was designed and characterized. Its mechanical performance, water-uptake ability and weight loss were assessed, morphology analyzed through scanning electron microscopy, and morphometric parameters quantified by microcomputed tomography. Cell viability and cell proliferation were evaluated in order to estimate the cytotoxicity of these structures and respective degradation products. Produced ulvan structures revealed remarkable ability to uptake water (up to ∼ 2000% of its initial dry weight) and are characterized by a highly porous and interconnected structure. Furthermore, these ulvan structures underwent nontoxic degradation, and cells remained viable through the time of culture. These results position ulvan structures as prospective blocks that can be further functionalized in order to acquire the desired stability and needed biological interactivity to be used as tissue-engineered structures. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
