Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) is a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan that is present in a variety of body tissues and organs. Hyaluronan has a wide range of biological activities that are frequently influenced by molar mass; however, they also depend greatly on the source, purity, and kind of impurities in hyaluronan. High-molar-mass HA has anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and antiangiogenic properties, while low-molar-mass HA has opposite properties. A number of chemical modifications have been performed to enhance the stability of HA and its applications in medical practice. Hyaluronan is widely applied in medicine, such as viscosupplementation, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, wound healing, cosmetics, and drug delivery. In this review, we summarized several medical applications of polymers based on the hyaluronan backbone.

Abstract
World Health Organization (WHO) warns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR) considered as the most serious threats to global health, food security, and development. There are various efforts for elimination of this serious issue. These efforts include education of individuals, new policies, development of new antimicrobials and new materials for effective delivery. Novel drug delivery systems with ability of local and on-demand delivery are one of the promising approaches for prevention of AMR. In this regard, a pH-responsive antibiotic delivery system based on pH-responsive poly(β-amino ester) (PBAE) and enzyme responsive hyaluronic acid (HA). The polymeric nanocomplexes were obtained via electrostatic complexation of PBAE and HA in the presence of a model antibiotics, colistin and vancomycin. The particle sizes at pH 7.4 were determined in the range of 131-730 nm and 120-400 nm by DLS and STEM, respectively. When pH was switched from 7.4 to 5.5, the hydrodynamic diameter increased 2.5-32 fold. The drug release performances were tested using FITC-labeled antibiotics via fluorescence spectroscopy. The nanocomplexes released the drugs more at pH 5.5 compared to pH 7.4. Antibacterial activity of the system was evaluated on various bacteria. The nanocomplex loaded with the antibiotics exhibited significantly greater efficacy against E. coli and S. aureus.

Abstract
This paper reports the synthesis and the physicochemical characterization of two series of gellan gum (GG) derivatives functionalized with alkyl chains with different number of carbon, from 8 to 18. In particular, low molecular weight gellan gum samples with 52.6 or 96.7 kDa, respectively, were functionalized with octylamine (C8), dodecylamine (C12) and octadecylamine (C18) by using bis(4-nitrophenyl) carbonate (4-NPBC) as a coupling agent. Thermo-rheological and ionotropic crosslinking properties of these gellan gum-alkyl derivatives were evaluated and related to the degree of derivatization in alkyl chains. Results suggested as length and degree of derivatization differently influenced coil-to-helix gelation mechanism of GG derivatives, ionotropic crosslinking, and strength of crosslinked hydrogels obtained in CaCl2 0.102 M and NaCl 0.15 M. Statement of hypothesis: The insertion of alkyl chains on the gellan gum backbone interferes with coil-to-helix transition mechanism and allows the production of hydrophobically assembled hydrogels.

Abstract
Tissue engineering aims to repair the damaged tissue by transplantation of cells or introducing bioactive factors in a biocompatible scaffold. In recent years, biodegradable polymer scaffolds mimicking the extracellular matrix have been developed to promote the cell proliferation and extracellular matrix deposition. The biodegradable polymer scaffolds thus act as templates for tissue repair and regeneration. This article reviews the updated information regarding various types of natural and synthetic biodegradable polymers as well as their functions, physico-chemical properties, and degradation mechanisms in the development of biodegradable scaffolds for tissue engineering applications, including their combination with 3D printing.

Abstract
A hyaluronic acid (HA) derivative bearing octadecylamine and acylhydrazine functionalities has been here employed for the production of a paclitaxel delivering matrix for locoregional chemotherapy. Through a strategy consisting in a powder compression and a plasticization with a mixture water/ethanol, a physically assembled biomaterial, stable in solutions with physiologic ionic strengths, has been produced. Two different drug loading strategies have been adopted, by using paclitaxel as chemotherapic agent, and obtained samples have been assayed in terms of release in enhanced solubility conditions and in vitro and in vivo tumoural cytotoxicity. In particular sample with the best releasing characteristics was chosen for an in vivo evaluation against a HCT-116 xenograft on mice. Local tumour establishment and metastatic diffusion was assayed locally at the site of xenograft implantation and at the tributary lymph nodes. Obtained results demonstrated how loading procedure influenced paclitaxel crystallinity into the matrix and consequently drug diffusion and its cytoreductive potential. Chosen paclitaxel loaded matrix was able to drastically inhibit HCT-116 establishment and metastatic diffusion.

Abstract
In this study, in order to better mimick the nature of bone extracellular matrix, hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels having a triple degradation behavior were synthesized from 3,3'-dithiodipropionate hydrazide-modified HA (DTPH-HA) and polyethylene glycol dilevulinate (LEV-PEG-LEV) via the reaction of the ketone carbonyl groups of LEV-PEG-LEV with the hydrazide groups of DTPH-HA. The HA hydrogels were characterized by solid state (13)C NMR, FT-IR, SEM, and rheological, swelling and degradation tests. The results showed that the HA hydrogels exhibited a highly porous morphology and had pore diameters ranging from 20 to 200 μm. The equilibrium swelling ratio of the HA hydrogels was no less than 37.5. The HA hydrogels could be degraded by hyaluronidase and reducing substances or at acidic pH values. The biocompatibility of the HA hydrogels was evaluated using osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells by live/dead staining and MTT assays. The results revealed that the HA hydrogels had good biocompatibility and could support the attachment and proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells. All the results indicated that the HA hydrogels synthesized by hydrazone bond crosslinking might have great potential to be used in bone tissue engineering.
