Abstract
Infectious diseases pose a serious threat and a substantial economic burden on global human and public health security, especially with the frequent emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in clinical settings. In response to this urgent need, various photobased anti-infectious therapies have been reported lately. This Review explores and discusses several photochemical targeted antibacterial therapeutic strategies for addressing bacterial infections regardless of their antibiotic susceptibility. In contrast to conventional photobased therapies, these approaches facilitate precise targeting of pathogenic bacteria and/or infectious microenvironments, effectively minimizing toxicity to mammalian cells and surrounding healthy tissues. The highlighted therapies include photodynamic therapy, photocatalytic therapy, photothermal therapy, endogenous pigments-based photobleaching therapy, and polyphenols-based photo-oxidation therapy. This comprehensive exploration aims to offer updated information to facilitate the development of effective, convenient, safe, and alternative strategies to counter the growing threat of MDR bacteria in the future.

Abstract
Bacterial infection is a key factor affecting wound healing. Conventional treatments might lead to the widespread emergence of drug-resistant bacteria due to the long-term and excessive use of antibiotics. It is necessary to develop an antibiotic-free method for effective treatment of bacterial wound infections. In this work, we constructed an antibiotic-free polysaccharide-based hydrogel dressing (ATB) with near-infrared light-actuated on-demand botanicals release and hyperthermia for the synergistic treatment of wound infections. The ATB hydrogel dressing was made up of agarose as a support matrix, berberine hydrochloride as the active botanicals and TA-Fe(III) nanoparticles as NIR laser-activated photothermal reagents. The ATB hydrogel dressing showed spatiotemporal botanicals release and excellent photothermal properties with NIR irradiation. With the results of in vitro and in vivo antibacterial experiments, the antibiotic-free ATB hydrogel could synergistically eliminate bacteria and accelerate wound healing. Overall, the near-infrared light-responsive ATB hydrogel could provide a promising antibiotic-free strategy for the treatment of bacterial wound infections.

Abstract
The emergence of 2D nanomaterials (2D NMs), which was initiated by the isolation of graphene (G) in 2004, revolutionized various biomedical applications, including bioimaging and -sensing, drug delivery, and tissue engineering, owing to their unique physicochemical and biological properties. Building on the success of G, a novel class of monoelemental 2D NMs, known as Xenes, has recently emerged, offering distinct advantages in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this review, we focus on the comparison of G and Xene materials for use in fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds. After a brief introduction to the basic physicochemical properties of these materials, recent representative studies are classified in terms of the engineered tissue, i.e., bone, cartilage, neural, muscle, and skin tissues. We analyze several methods of improving the clinical potential of Xene-laden scaffolds using state-of-the-art fabrication technologies and innovative biomaterials. Despite the considerable advantages of Xene materials, critical concerns, such as biocompatibility, biodistribution and regulatory challenges, should be considered. This review and collaborative efforts should advance the field of Xene-based tissue engineering and enable innovative, effective solutions for use in future tissue regeneration.

Abstract
The field of biomaterials aims to improve regenerative outcomes or scientific understanding for a wide range of tissue types and ailments. Biomaterials can be fabricated from natural or synthetic sources and display a plethora of mechanical, electrical, and geometrical properties dependent on their desired application. To date, most biomaterial systems designed for eventual translation to the clinic rely on soluble signaling moieties, such as growth factors, to elicit a specific cellular response. However, these soluble factors are often limited by high cost, convoluted synthesis, low stability, and difficulty in regulation, making the translation of these biomaterials systems to clinical or commercial applications a long and arduous process. In response to this, significant effort has been dedicated to researching cell-directive biomaterials which can signal for specific cell behavior in the absence of soluble factors. Cells of all tissue types have been shown to be innately in tune with their microenvironment, which is a biological phenomenon that can be exploited by researchers to design materials that direct cell behavior based on their intrinsic characteristics. This review will focus on recent developments in biomaterials that direct cell behavior using biomaterial properties such as charge, peptide presentation, and micro- or nano-geometry. These next generation biomaterials could offer significant strides in the development of clinically relevant medical devices which improve our understanding of the cellular microenvironment and enhance patient care in a variety of ailments.

Photothermal and natural activity-based synergistic antibacterial effects of Ti 3C 2T x MXene-loaded chitosan hydrogel against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124482. [PMID: 37076073 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2023] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 04/12/2023] [Indexed: 04/21/2023]
Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has strong resistance to antibiotic therapy. In this regard, developing antibiotic-free antibacterial agents is of great significance to treat MRSA infections. Herein, we loaded Ti3C2Tx MXene nanomaterial in the non-crosslinked chitosan (CS) hydrogel. The obtained MX-CS hydrogel is expected to not only adsorb MRSA cells via CS-MRSA interactions, but also gather the MXene-induced photothermal hyperthermia, achieving the efficient and intensive anti-MRSA photothermal therapy. As a result, under NIR irradiation (808 nm, 1.6 W/cm2, 5 min), MX-CS showed a greater photothermal effect than MXene alone did (30 μg/mL, 49.9 °C for MX-CS and 46.5 °C for MXene). Importantly, MRSA cells were rapidly adsorbed on MX-CS hydrogel (containing 30 μg/mL MXene) and completely inhibited (99.18 %) under NIR irradiation for 5 min. In contrast, MXene (30 μg/mL) and CS hydrogel alone only inhibited 64.52 % and 23.72 % MRSA, respectively, significantly lower than the inhibition caused by MX-CS (P < 0.001). Interestingly, when the hyperthermia was depleted by a 37 °C water bath, the bacterial inhibition rate of MX-CS significantly decreased to 24.65 %. In conclusion, MX-CS hydrogel has a remarkable synergistic anti-MRSA activity by gathering MRSA cells and MXene-induced hyperthermia, and may have great potentials in treating MRSA-infected diseases.

Abstract
Adhesive materials are natural or synthetic polymers with the ability to adhere to the surface of luminal mucus or epithelial cells. They are widely used in the biomedical field due to their unique adhesion, biocompatibility, and excellent surface properties. When used in the human body, they can adhere to an accessible target and remain at the focal site for a longer period, improving the therapeutic effect on local disease. An adhesive material with bacteriostatic properties can play an antibacterial role at the focal site and the adhesive properties of the material can prevent the focal site from being infected by bacteria for a period. In addition, some adhesive materials can promote cell growth and tissue repair. In this review, the properties and mechanism of natural adhesive materials, organic adhesive materials, composite adhesive materials, and underwater adhesive materials have been introduced systematically. The applications of these adhesive materials in drug delivery, antibacterials, tissue repair, and other applications are described in detail. Finally, we have discussed the prospects and challenges of using adhesive materials in the field of biomedicine.
