Cryogels Based on Poly(2-oxazoline)s through Development of Bi- and Trifunctional Cross-Linkers Incorporating End Groups with Adjustable Stability. Macromolecules 2024; 57:2915-2927. [PMID: 38560346 PMCID: PMC10977347 DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.3c02030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2023] [Revised: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
1,4-Bis(iodomethyl)benzene and 1,3,5-tris(iodomethyl)benzene were used as initiators for the cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) and its copolymerization with tert-butyl (3-(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)propyl)carbamate (BocOx) or methyl 3-(4,5-dihydrooxazol-2-yl)propanoate (MestOx). Kinetic studies confirmed the applicability of these initiators. Termination with suitable nucleophiles resulted in two- and three-armed cross-linkers featuring acrylate, methacrylate, piperazine-acrylamide, and piperazine-methacrylamide as polymerizable ω-end groups. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy confirmed the successful attachment of the respective ω-end groups at all initiation sites for every prepared cross-linkers. Except for acrylate, each ω-end group remained stable during deprotection of BocOx containing cross-linkers. The cryogels were prepared using EtOx-based cross-linkers, as confirmed by solid-state NMR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. Stability tests revealed a complete dissolution of the acrylate-containing gels at pH = 14, whereas the piperazine-acrylamide-based cryogels featured excellent hydrolytic stability.

Abstract
The increasing demand for highly pure biopharmaceuticals has put significant pressure on the biotechnological industry to innovate in production and purification processes. Nucleic acid purification, crucial for gene therapy and vaccine production, presents challenges due to the unique physical and chemical properties of these molecules. Meeting regulatory standards necessitates large quantities of biotherapeutic agents of high purity. While conventional chromatography offers versatility and efficiency, it suffers from drawbacks like low flow rates and binding capacity, as well as high mass transfer resistance. Recent advancements in continuous beds, including monoliths and cryogel-based systems, have emerged as promising solutions to overcome these limitations. This review explores and evaluates the latest progress in chromatography utilizing monolithic and cryogenic supports for nucleic acid purification.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2023; 329:117002. [PMID: 36527951 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2022.117002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2022] [Revised: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
The removal of the target analytes, Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Ni(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) from contaminated waters was achieved using super porous polyethyleneimine (PEI) cryogels as adsorbent. The optimum values of the sample pH and contact time were determined as 4.0 and 90 min, respectively, for the removal of the analytes. The adsorption capacities of the sorbent were between 19.88 and 24.39 mgg-1 from 10 mL of 50 mgL-1 target metal ion solutions. The sorption kinetics of metal ions were fitted with the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption isotherms of the target analytes into PEI cryogel were well-fitted to the Langmuir isotherm model as expected from the material homogeneity. The selectivity of the PEI cryogel in the presence of Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, NO3-, K+ and Cl- ions even at high concentrations was tested, and the tolerance limits were satisfactory enough, e.g., the adsorption of the target analytes was even not affected in the presence of 2000 mgL-1 Ca2+, K+, Na+, Cl- and 5000 mgL-1 NO3- ions. The PEI cryogels were successfully utilized in different industrial wastewater samples that were spiked with a known amount of analytes. The removal of the analytes from wastewater samples was in the following ranges 91.94-99.86% for Cd(II), 89.59-99.89% for Co(II), 80.35-99.76% for Cr(III), 92.02-99.84% for Ni(II), 83.28-99.86% for Pb(II), and 82.94-98.24% for Zn(II), respectively. The presented novel removal strategy offers a selective, efficient, and easy application for target metal ions from industrial wastewater samples.

Abstract
One of the primary purposes of proteomic studies is to analyze the proteins in the blood to be considered as biomarkers. Albumin, which constitutes the majority of total serum proteins, complicates the discovery of low-density proteins that are important for the diagnosis of diseases. Based on this, an alternative approach for albumin depletion was developed in this study by covalently attached Cibacron Blue 3GA (CB) to magnetic microcryogels. After detailed characterization of CB attached magnetic microcryogels synthesized via a microstencil array chip, albumin adsorption studies were performed to examine the optimum depletion conditions. In the presented study, the maximum albumin adsorption capacity (Qmax) was calculated as 149.25 mg/mL in pH 5.0 acetate buffer solution, which is the optimum pH value for albumin. Experimental studies have demonstrated that CB-attached magnetic microcryogels can be reused without loss of performance for albumin depletion after 10 adsorption-desorption cycles.

Abstract
Starch cryogel is a potential material for oil absorption. This study provided a facile and convenient polyelectrolyte-based preparation strategy of starch cryogel, in which the structural properties of the cryogel were regulated by amylose content and pre-freezing without long-time retrogradation. Sodium laurate was used as a guest model to form starch-fatty acid salt complex (polyelectrolyte). The amount of amylose content and sodium laurate added led more polyelectrolytes, significantly increased V-type crystallinity from 3.72 % to 22.40 % and complexing index from 4.32 % to 28.48 %. As the uniform pore structure improved the oil absorption ability of starch cryogel, the starch cryogel prepared by waxy maize starch followed by quick pre-freezing showed the highest specific surface area (9.87 m2/g) and oil absorption capacity (32.94 g/g). Our findings suggest that polyelectrolyte properties have great potential in the preparation of starch-based cryogels, which could be applied in the design of novel starch-based porous materials.

Abstract
In this study, composite monoliths with porous structures were prepared using quaternized chitosan and diatom earth for protein separation. Quaternized chitosan (N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium)propyl] chitosan chloride) dissolved in water was mixed with diatom earth and crosslinked with glutaraldehyde under low-temperature conditions to form a cryogel. Interconnected porous monoliths were obtained after removing ice crystals from the cryogel. The monoliths adsorbed bovine serum albumin selectively from the solution mixture of bovine serum albumin and bovine ɤ-globulin, and bovine ɤ-globulin was recovered in the flow-through fraction. The adsorption selectivity was enhanced by changing the solution pH from 6.8 to 5.5. The adsorption of bovine serum albumin by the monolith was replicated at least five times following its washing with a buffer containing 400 mM NaCl and subsequent regeneration with a 10 mM acetate buffer. The composited monolith is a promising adsorbent for the removal of acidic proteins, such as serum albumin contamination in neutral proteins, for example, ɤ-globulins, in bioproduction processes.

Abstract
A green monolithic starch cryogel was prepared and applied for the removal of methylene blue (MB) using a batch system. The influence of various experimental parameters on MB adsorption was investigated. High removal efficiency (81.58 ± 0.59%) and adsorption capacity (34.84 mg g-1) were achieved. The Langmuir model better fitted the experimental data (determination coefficient (R2) = 0.9838) than the Freundlich one (R2 = 0.8542), while the kinetics of MB adsorption on the cryogel followed a pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic with an activation energy of 37.8 kJ mol-1 that indicated physical adsorption. The starch cryogel was used for MB removal from a wastewater sample collected from a local Batik production community enterprise in Phuket, Thailand, and a removal efficiency of 75.6% was achieved, indicating that it has a high potential as a green adsorbent for MB removal.

Abstract
Freeze-casting (ice templating) is generally used to prepare super-macroporous materials. However, water solubility limits the application of freeze-casting in hydrophobic material fabrication. In the present work, inexpensive and low-toxic sulfolane was used as a novel crystallization-induced porogen (sulfolane crystal templating) to prepare super-macroporous hydrophobic monoliths (cryogels) with tunable polarity. The phase transition of sulfolane consisted of reversible processes in the liquid, semi-crystalline, and crystalline states. Because of the density change during phase transition, liquid sulfolane experienced a 16.4% volume shrinkage per unit mass. Thus, the cryogels obtained using the conventional freezing method contained obvious hollow-shaped defects. Furthermore, a novel route of pre-cooling, pre-crystallization, crystal growth, freezing, and thawing (PPCFT) was employed to prepare cryogels with defect-free macroscopic morphology and uniform pore structure. The as-obtained cryogels were composed of a super-macroporous structures and interconnected channels, and their porosity ranged between 85 and 97%. Moreover, the cryogels manifested good hydrophobicity (contact angle = 120-130°) and had absorption capacities greater than 10 g g-1 for oils and organic liquids. The maximum absorption capacities of the resultant cryogels in dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and liquid paraffin were 60.3, 35.8, and 15.2 g g-1, respectively. Moreover, sulfolane could conveniently dissolve hydrophobic and hydrophilic monomers to generate amphiphilic cryogels (contact angle = 130-0°). Therefore, sulfolane crystal templating is a potential fabrication method for super-macroporous hydrophobic materials with tunable polarity.

Preparation and Characterization of Calcium Cross-Linked Starch Monolithic Cryogels and Their Application as Cost-Effective Green Filters. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13223975. [PMID: 34833272 PMCID: PMC8617897 DOI: 10.3390/polym13223975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 11/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/13/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Monolithic cryogels from starch were successfully synthesized and applied as alternative biodegradable filters for the first time. Rice flour was cross-linked with Ca2+ from limewater during gelatinization before being frozen and then thawed for three cycles. The resultant material was then soaked in ethanol for 3 h before incubation at 80 °C for 1 h, yielding monolithic material with interconnected pores in sizes of 51 ± 18 to 52 ± 15 µm without any need of freeze-drying. The cryogels possessed macroporous structure with specific surface areas from 1.1 to 4.3 m2g−1, they could adsorb water from 599 ± 27 to 635 ± 59% of their dry weight with low swelling ratios of 6.0 ± 0.3 to 6.4 ± 0.6 gwater/gcryogel, and could be applied as biofilters to remove suspended particles and reduce the light absorption of water sample from 25 ± 3 to 96 ± 5%. The prepared biofilters can be re-used up to three times, although they cost only USD 0.0004/piece. Complete weight loss resulted from burial in soil for 30 days, indicating environmentally friendly biodegradation and potential for environmental applications.

Abstract
The uncontrolled release of pharmaceutical drugs into the environment raised serious concerns in the last decades as they can potentially exert adverse effects on living organisms even at the low concentrations at which they are typically found. Among them, platinum based cytostatic drugs (Pt CDs) are among the most used drugs in cancer treatments which are administered via intravenous infusion and released partially intact or as transformation products. In this review, the studies on environmental occurrence, transformation, potential ecotoxicity, and possible treatment for the removal of platinum cytostatic compounds are revised. The analysis of the literature highlighted the generally low total platinum concentration values (from a few tens of ng L−1 to a few hundred μg L−1) found in hospital effluents. Additionally, several studies highlighted how hospitals are sources of a minor fraction of the total Pt CDs found in the environment due to the slow excretion rate which is longer than the usual treatment durations. Only some data about the impact of the exposure to low levels of Pt CDs on the health of flora and fauna are present in literature. In some cases, adverse effects have been shown to occur in living organisms, even at low concentrations. Further ecotoxicity data are needed to support or exclude their chronic effects on the ecosystem. Finally, fundamental understanding is required on the platinum drugs removal by MBR, AOPs, technologies, and adsorption.

Abstract
Cryogels are macroporous polymeric structures formed from the cryogelation of monomers/polymers in a solvent below freezing temperature. Due to their inherent interconnected macroporosity, ease of preparation, and biocompatibility, they are increasingly being investigated for use in biomedical applications such as 3D-bioprinting, drug delivery, wound healing, and as injectable therapeutics. This review highlights the fundamentals of macroporous cryogel preparation, cryogel properties that can be useful in the highlighted biomedical applications, followed by a comprehensive review of recent studies in these areas. Research evaluated includes the use of cryogels to combat various types of cancer, for implantation without surgical incision, and use as highly effective wound dressings. Furthermore, conclusions and outlooks are discussed for the use of these promising and durable macroporous cryogels.

Abstract
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) has been recognized as a marker for the detection of carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. In this work, a novel monolithic solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbent based on graphene oxide nanoparticles (GO) in starch-based cryogel composite (GO-Cry) was successfully prepared for BaP analysis. Rice flour and tapioca starch (gel precursors) were gelatinized in limewater (cross-linker) under alkaline conditions before addition of GO (filler) that can increase the ability to extract BaP up to 2.6-fold. BaP analysis had a linear range of 10 to 1000 µgL-1 with good linearity (R2 = 0.9971) and high sensitivity (4.1 ± 0.1 a.u./(µgL-1)). The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 4.21 ± 0.06 and 14.04 ± 0.19 µgL-1, respectively, with excellent precision (0.17 to 2.45%RSD). The accuracy in terms of recovery from spiked samples was in the range of 84 to 110% with no significant difference to a C18 cartridge. GO-Cry can be reproducibly prepared with 2.8%RSD from 4 lots and can be reused at least 10 times, which not only helps reduce the analysis costs (~0.41USD per analysis), but also reduces the resultant waste to the environment.

Abstract
Hemoglobin (Hb) is the most abundant protein in the blood. It is vital for the living as oxygen carriers. Some of the very pure Hb-containing biological fluids are currently under clinical trial. However, the removal and purification of Hb from the blood are quite difficult, especially when it is at a low concentration level. In this study, the molecularly imprinted polymeric nanoparticles (MIPNs) were prepared using N-methacryloyl-histidine methyl ester (MAH) by mini-emulsion polymerization technique for specific binding of human hemoglobin (HHb). MIPNs in monosize form have a size of 152 ± 4 nm. They also have a high binding capacity (32.33 mg/g) of HHb. MIPNs retain 84% of the re-binding capacity for HHb after 10 cycles. The nanoparticles have 16 and 5 times higher binding capacity of HHb, respectively, in the presence of bovine serum albumin and lysozyme. Thanks to their high binding capacity and selectivity, MIPNs will allow them to be detected selectively for different target molecules. According to molecular docking, the main binding forces depend on hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces in the interaction within 5 Å around MAH molecule are observed through the amino acid residues of HHb at β1 and β2 subunit. The statistical mechanical analysis of docking showed that the free energy (ΔG) is -2732.14 kcal/mol, which indicates the interaction between MAH and HHb is energetically favorable at 298.15°K.

Abstract
Decades of research into cryogels have resulted in the development of many types of cryogels for various applications. Collagen and gelatin possess nontoxicity, intrinsic gel-forming ability and physicochemical properties, and excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, making them very desirable candidates for the fabrication of cryogels. Collagen-based cryogels (CBCs) and gelatin-based cryogels (GBCs) have been successfully applied as three-dimensional substrates for cell culture and have shown promise for biomedical use. A key point in the development of CBCs and GBCs is the quantitative and precise characterization of their properties and their correlation with preparation process and parameters, enabling these cryogels to be tuned to match engineering requirements. Great efforts have been devoted to fabricating these types of cryogels and exploring their potential biomedical application. However, to the best of our knowledge, no comprehensive overviews focused on CBCs and GBCs have been reported currently. In this review, we attempt to provide insight into the recent advances on such kinds of cryogels, including their fabrication methods and structural properties, as well as potential biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cryotropic gelation is one of the most common approaches to design novel hydrogels with multifaceted technological and biological functionalities. In the present paper, we studied the ability of highly galactosyl-substituted galactomannans, i.e. fenugreek and alfalfa gum, to form physically crosslinked hydrogels via cryogenic processing. Cycling of the galactomannan solutions (0.25 to 4% wt) from 25 to -20 to 25 °C induced the physical crosslinking of the galactomannan chains leading to the formation of different cryogel structures, i.e. filamentous aggregates (c* < c < 1%), cellular-like gel networks (1 ≤ c < 4%) or a homogeneously swollen gel (c ≥ 4%), depending on the total biopolymer content. Alfalfa gum-based cryogels exhibited higher elasticity and stiffness, better uniformity of the structure and a lower macropore size than their fenugreek counterparts. The physical blending of alfalfa or fenugreek gum with locust bean gum (2% total biopolymer) led to the reinforcement of the mechanical properties of the cryogels without significantly altering their microstructural aspects.

Performance of phospho-L-tyrosine immobilized onto alginate/polyacrylamide-based cryogels: Effect of ligand coupling on human IgG adsorption and Fab fragments separation. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2021; 1165:122530.

Abstract
The ortho-phospho-tyrosine (P-Tyr) pseudoaffinity ligand was immobilized via ether linkage onto polyacrylamide-alginate (PAAm-Alg)-epoxy cryogels prepared according to two different approaches in order to explore their performance in the immunoglobulin G (IgG) purification from human serum. In the first approach, the P-Tyr was attached to cryogel prepared by cryocopolymerization of acrylamide and alginate with allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) as functional comonomer, and methylenebisacrylamide and Ca(II) as crosslinkers, obtaining the PAAm-Alg-AGE-P-Tyr. In the second approach, the PAAm-Alg was synthesized under the same conditions, but without AGE, and the P-Tyr was coupled to epichlorohydrin (ECH)-activated cryogel, obtaining the PAAm-Alg-ECH-P-Tyr. Both pseudoaffinity cryogels were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, swelling tests, porosity, ligand density, and flow dynamics. The human IgG differently interacted with the PAAm-Alg-ECH-P-Tyr and PAAm-Alg-AGE-P-Tyr cryogels, depending on the pH and adsorption buffer system used. The selectivity analyzed by electrophoretic profiles was similar for both cryogels, but PAAm-Alg-ECH-P-Tyr achieved higher IgG adsorption capacity (dynamic capacity of 12.62 mg of IgG/mL of cryogel). The IgG purity assayed by ELISA was 95%. The maximum IgG adsorption capacity and dissociation constant of the PAAm-Alg-ECH-P-Tyr, determined by Langmuir isotherm, were found to be 91.75 mg IgG/g of dry cryogel and 4.60 × 10-6 mol/L at pH 6.0 from aqueous solutions. The PAAm-Alg-AGE-P-Tyr showed potential to purify the Fab fragments from papain-digested human IgG solution at pH 7.0. Fab fragments were separated from Fc fragments (but with uncleaved IgG) in eluted fractions (analyzed by the Western blot technique), with yield of 82% and purity of 95% (determined by radial immunodiffusion).

[PMID: 33246278 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2020.122435] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2020] [Revised: 10/17/2020] [Accepted: 10/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
The surfaces of the polyacrylamide cryogels were coated with L-tryptophan (cryogel-Trp) or L-phenylalanine (cryogel-Phe) to enhance crude leaf extract-derived ora-pro-nobis (OPN) protein binding via pseudo-specific hydrophobic interactions. Cryogels functionalized with amino acids were prepared and characterized through morphological, hydrodynamic, and thermal analyses. The adsorption capacities of cryogel-Phe and cryogel-Trp were evaluated in terms of type (sodium sulfate or sodium phosphate) and concentration (0.02 or 0.10 mol∙L-1) of saline solution, pH (4.0, 5.5, or 7.0), and NaCl concentration (0.0 or 0.5 mol∙L-1). The cryogel-Phe presented a higher adsorptive capacity, achieving its maximum value (q = 92.53 mg∙g-1) when the crude OPN crude leaf extract was diluted in sodium sulfate 0.02 mol∙L-1 + NaCl 0.50 mol∙L-1, at pH = 7.0. The dilution rate significantly (p < 0.05) affected the recovered protein amount after the adsorption and elution processes, reaching 94.45% when the feedstock solution was prepared with a crude extract 5 times. The zeta potential for the eluted OPN proteins was 5.76 mV (pH = 3.23) for both dilution rates. The secondary structure composition mainly included β-sheets (46.50%) and α-helices (13.93%). The cryogel-Phe exhibited interconnected pores ranging 20-300 μm in size, with a Young modulus of 1.51 MPa, and thermal degradation started at 230 °C. These results indicate that the cryogel-Phe exhibited satisfactory properties as promising chromatography support for use in high-throughput purification of crude leaf extract-derived OPN proteins.

Abstract
Cryogels are a particular type of hydrogels that possess great potential in both fields of drug delivery and tissue engineering. Based on these premises, the goal of this work was to develop a cytocompatible polymeric cryogel, which could be used as a spongy scaffold to promote the delivery of biomolecules. Precisely, the novel formulation was fabricated by combining dextran methacrylate (DEX-MA) and polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEG-DMA) through radical polymerization at a temperature of -15 °C. The swelling, porosity, mechanical properties, and the drug release profile of vitamin B12 from the optimized cryogel were evaluated and compared to hydrogels fabricated at room temperature. The use of the cryo-gelation technique enabled the formation of scaffolds with improved swelling, increased interconnected porosity, and higher mechanical resistance than conventional hydrogels. The cryogels proved to be non-toxic and suitable carriers for the delivery of water-soluble biomolecules. Overall, the novel cytocompatible cryogel formulation could be used for biomedical applications that require the need of a macroporous scaffold for localized delivery of bioactive molecules.

Abstract
High-performance liquid chromatography integrated with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) has become a powerful technique for proteomics research. Its performance heavily depends on the separation efficiency of HPLC, which in turn depends on the chromatographic material. As the "heart" of the HPLC system, the chromatographic material is required to achieve excellent column efficiency and fast analysis. Monolithic materials, fabricated as continuous supports with interconnected skeletal structure and flow-through pores, are regarded as an alternative to particle-packed columns. Such materials are featured with easy preparation, fast mass transfer, high porosity, low back pressure, and miniaturization, and are next-generation separation materials for high-throughput proteins and peptides analysis. Herein, the recent progress regarding the fabrication of various monolithic materials is reviewed. Special emphasis is placed on studies of the fabrication of monolithic capillary columns and their applications in separation of biomolecules by capillary liquid chromatography (cLC). The applications of monolithic materials in the digestion, enrichment, and separation of phosphopeptides and glycopeptides from biological samples are also considered. Finally, advances in comprehensive 2D HPLC separations using monolithic columns are also shown.

Abstract
Developing nanofibrous aerogels with high porosity, robust underwater mechanical strength, and rich adsorption ligands, has been considered as one of the most promising strategies for preparing the next generation of high-efficiency and high-throughput chromatographic media; yet great challenges still remain. Herein, a novel type of highly phosphorylated nanofibrous aerogels (PNFAs) is fabricated, for the first time, by combining electrospinning, cryogenic induced phase separation regulation, and in situ phosphorylation modification. The PNFAs exhibit outstanding underwater superelasticity and excellent compression fatigue resistance (∼0% plastic deformation after 1000 compression cycles), as well as favorable shape-memory property. Besides, the PNFAs also can be bent and compressed even in the ultracold liquid nitrogen without obvious plastic deformation, further highlighting their robust structural stability. Benefiting from the superelastic, interconnected, and highly phosphorylated 3D nanofibrous frameworks, the PNFAs possess a superb protein adsorption capability of 3.3 × 103 mg g-1 and a large liquid flux of 1.5 × 104 L m-2 h-1, which are superior to the commercial and previously reported fiber-based chromatographic media. Moreover, the PNFAs also exhibit superior performance stability, easy assembly, and outstanding applicability, highlighting their potential actual application. The successful preparation of such fascinating PNFAs may not only provide a new option for the current protein adsorption and purification engineering, but also could open up some new perspectives for further design and development of next-generation nanofibrous aerogel-based chromatographic media for various bioseparation applications.

Abstract
From the smallest ecological niche to global scale, communities of microbial life present a major factor in system regulation and stability. As long as laboratory studies remain restricted to single or few species assemblies, however, very little is known about the interaction patterns and exogenous factors controlling the dynamics of natural microbial communities. In combination with microfluidic technologies, progress in the manufacture of functional and stimuli-responsive materials makes artificial microbial arenas accessible. As habitats for natural or multispecies synthetic consortia, they are expected to not only enable detailed investigations, but also the training and the directed evolution of microbial communities in states of balance and disturbance, or under the effects of modulated stimuli and spontaneous response triggers. Here, a perspective on how materials research will play an essential role in generating answers to the most pertinent questions of microbial engineering is presented, and the concept of adaptive microbial arenas and possibilities for their construction from particulate microniches to 3D habitats is introduced. Materials as active and tunable components at the interface of living and nonliving matter offer exciting opportunities in this field. Beyond forming the physical horizon for microbial cultivates, they will enable dedicated intervention, training, and observation of microbial consortia.

Abstract
Macroporous hydrogels have been widely studied for biological and biomedical applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. However, these hydrogels cannot stably sequester molecules of interest due to their high permeability. The purpose of this work was to study the feasibility of using two aptamers to sequester two protein drugs, quantify the apparent diffusivity of protein drugs in aptamer-functionalized macroporous hydrogels, and evaluate the function of aptamer-functionalized macroporous hydrogels in controlling protein release for angiogenesis. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were used as model proteins. The data show that anti-VEGF and anti-bFGF aptamers could be uniformly incorporated into macroporous hydrogels for stable and specific sequestration of VEGF and bFGF. The aptamers could reduce the apparent diffusivity of VEGF and bFGF in the macroporous hydrogels by approximately three orders of magnitude. Moreover, as the aptamers could prolong the release of these growth factors, dual aptamer-functionalized macroporous hydrogels could stimulate synergistic angiogenesis. Therefore, this work has successfully demonstrated that aptamer-functionalized macroporous hydrogels hold great potential of stably sequestering multiple molecules of interest for various biological and biomedical applications.

Abstract
Macroscopic monoliths are highly desirable in many fields of application. Herein, well organized organic-inorganic cryogel composite with a three-dimensional hierarchical meso- and macroporous structure are presented, which were produced by in situ copolymerization of mesoporous multifunctional silica (size: 1-20 μm; pore: 2-20 nm mostly) and monomers (hydroxyethyl methacrylate and diallyldimethylammonium chloride) in water below the freezing point. This copolymerization method effectively adjusted the macropores of the basic cryogel, and the nanosilica was more homogeneously dispersed in the basic cryogel. The specific surface area of the cryogel composite was increased 17 times versus than that of the basic cryogel. The abundant meso- and macroporous pores on the cryogel composite provided sufficient reactive sites favorable for the efficient mass transport of target compounds. When the cryogel composite, as solid phase extraction adsorbent, was coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography, an analytical tool, the nucleosides were quantified with good selectivity, lower detection limits (0.9-1.3 ng/mL) and satisfactory recoveries of greater than 80% from spiked human serum.
