Abstract
The development of highly effective hemostatic materials with high biocompatibility and outstanding performance is vital to the field of biomaterials. In this study, we develop a hemostatic fiber material that exhibits high biocompatibility and excellent performance. By incorporating polydopamine (PDA) into the alkaline treatment of silk fibroin (SF), we achieve PDA-coated SF fibers with lengths that can be controlled by the alkaline concentration. The PDA coating significantly enhances the hemostatic ability of the silk fibers and exhibits superior performance in both in vitro and ex vivo experiments. By performing animal studies involving a mouse liver puncture model and a femoral vein incision model, we demonstrate the remarkable hemostatic capability of the PDA-coated SF fibers, as evidenced by the lower blood loss compared to that of a commercial hemostat powder. These findings highlight the potential of applying a PDA-assisted alkaline treatment to SF fibers to efficiently create hemostatic fibers with controllable lengths, which would be promising candidates for clinical hemostatic applications.

Abstract
Medical adhesives are advanced but challenging alternatives to wound closure and repair, especially in mitigating uncontrolled hemorrhage. Ideal hemostatic adhesives need to meet good biocompatibility and biodegradability, adequate mechanical strength, and strong tissue adhesion functionality under wet and dynamic conditions. Considering these requirements, natural polymers such as polysaccharide, protein and DNA, attract great attention as candidates for making bioadhesives because of their distinctive physicochemical performances and biological properties. This review systematically summarizes the advances of bioadhesives based on natural polysaccharide, protein and DNA. Various physical and chemical cross-linking strategies have been introduced for adhesive synthesis and their hemostatic applications are introduced from the aspect of versatility. Furthermore, the possible challenges and future opportunities of bioadhesives are discussed, providing insights into the development of high-performance hemostatic materials.

Abstract
Injectable bioadhesive hydrogels, known for their capacity to carry substances and adaptability in processing, offer great potential across various biomedical applications. They are especially promising in minimally invasive stem cell-based therapies for treating cartilage damage. This approach harnesses readily available mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to differentiate into chondrocytes for cartilage regeneration. In this review, we investigate the relationship between bioadhesion and MSC differentiation. We summarize the fundamental principles of bioadhesion and discuss recent trends in bioadhesive hydrogels. Furthermore, we highlight their specific applications in conjunction with stem cells, particularly in the context of cartilage repair. The review also encompasses a discussion on testing methods for bioadhesive hydrogels and direct techniques for differentiating MSCs into hyaline cartilage chondrocytes. These approaches are explored within both clinical and laboratory settings, including the use of genetic tools. While this review offers valuable insights into the interconnected aspects of these topics, it underscores the need for further research to fully grasp the complexities of their relationship.

Abstract
Skin regeneration of full-thickness wounds remains a challenge, requiring a well-regulated interplay of cell-cell and cell-matrix signaling. Herein, the composite hydrogel films composed of silk fibroin (SF) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as scaffolds loaded with curcumin nanoparticles (Cur NPs) were developed for skin wound healing. The structure and physicochemical properties of hydrogel films were first evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle, and chemical and mechanical measurements. In addition, the as-fabricated composite hydrogel films have a unique 3D structure and excellent biocompatibility that facilitates the adhesion and growth of cells. Antimicrobial tests in vitro showed that they could inhibit the growth of bacteria due to the incorporation of Cur NPs into composite hydrogel films. The efficacy of the curcumin-loaded SF/PVA composite hydrogel films for skin wound healing was investigated on the skin defect model in vivo. Immunological analysis showed that the as-fabricated Cur NP-loaded SF/PVA composite hydrogel films inhibited inflammation at the wound sites, while promoting angiogenesis during the wound healing process.

Abstract
Research on the polymerization of dopamine and its modification on the surface of materials has received extensive attention. In this work, the process of laccase catalyzing the rapid polymerization of dopamine and in situ dyeing of silk fabric were studied. The results showed that laccase catalyzed dyeing for 3 h under acidic conditions could achieve the dyeing effect of 24 h under an alkaline environment, and the enzyme catalyzed polydopamine showed better deposition uniformity on the substrate surface. According to molecular simulation analysis, dopamine oligomers were easily combined with the amorphous regions of silk fibroin, and dopamine oligomers and amino acids of silk fibroin could form hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions. Dopamine oligomers could form intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen bonds through amino groups and hydroxyl groups. In addition, dopamine oligomers would aggregate in the process of binding to silk fibroin and adsorbed to the surface of silk fibroin in the form of aggregates, and Michael addition reaction would also occur between dopamine oligomers and silk fibroin. Finally, the silk fabrics loaded with polydopamine were reacted with different kinds of metal salt solutions to form particles with different morphologies and crystal structures on the surface of the silk fibers, and the modified silk fabrics showed good hydrophobicity. Dopamine oligomers are easily combined with amorphous regions of silk fibroin, they can form hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions, and undergo Michael addition reactions. The oligomers will aggregate in the process.![]()

Abstract
Bioadhesives have been widely used in healthcare and biomedical applications due to their ease-of-operation for wound closure and repair compared to conventional suturing and stapling. However, several challenges remain for developing ideal bioadhesives, such as unsatisfied mechanical properties, non-tunable biodegradability, and limited biological functions. Considering these concerns, naturally derived biopolymers have been considered good candidates for making bioadhesives owing to their ready availability, facile modification, tunable mechanical properties, and desired biocompatibility and biodegradability. Over the past several years, remarkable progress has been made on biopolymer-based adhesives, covering topics from novel materials designs and advanced processing to clinical translation. The developed bioadhesives have been applied for diverse applications, including tissue adhesion, hemostasis, antimicrobial, wound repair/tissue regeneration, and skin-interfaced bioelectronics. Here in this comprehensive review, recent progress on biopolymer-based bioadhesives is summarized with focuses on clinical translations and multifunctional bioadhesives. Furthermore, challenges and opportunities such as weak adhesion strength at the hydrated state, mechanical mismatch with tissues, and unfavorable immune responses are discussed with an aim to facilitate the future development of high-performance biopolymer-based bioadhesives.

Abstract
The unique properties of silk proteins (SPs), particularly silk sericin (SS) and silk fibroin (SF), have attracted attention in the design of scaffolds for tissue engineering over the past decades. Since SF has good mechanical properties, while SS displays bioactivity, scaffolds combining both proteins should exhibit complementary properties enhancing the potential of these materials. Unfortunately, SS-SF composites can generate chronic immune responses and their immunogenic element is not completely clear. The potential of SS-SF composites in tissue engineering, elements which may contribute to their immunogenicity, and alternatives for their preparation and design, to modulate the immune response and take advantage of their useful properties, are discussed in this review. It is known that SS can enhance β-sheet formation in SF, which may act as hydrophobic regions with a strong affinity for adsorption proteins inducing the chronic recruitment of inflammatory cells. Therefore, tailoring the exposure of hydrophobic regions at the scaffold surface should represent a viable strategy to modulate the immune response. This can be achieved by coating SS-SF composites with SS or other hydrophilic polymers, to take advantage of their antibiofouling properties. Research is still needed to realize the full potential of these composites for tissue engineering.

Abstract
Biomaterials have long been explored in regenerative medicine strategies for the repair or replacement of damaged organs and tissues, due to their biocompatibility, versatile physicochemical properties and tuneable mechanical cues capable of matching those of native tissues. However, poor adhesion under wet conditions (such as those found in tissues) has thus far limited their wider application. Indeed, despite its favourable physicochemical properties, facile gelation and biocompatibility, gellan gum (GG)-based hydrogels lack the tissue adhesiveness required for effective clinical use. Aiming at assessing whether substitution of GG by dopamine (DA) could be a suitable approach to overcome this problem, database searches were conducted on PubMed® and Embase® up to 2 March 2021, for studies using biomaterials covalently modified with a catechol-containing substituent conferring improved adhesion properties. In this regard, a total of 47 reports (out of 700 manuscripts, ~6.7%) were found to comply with the search/selection criteria, the majority of which (34/47, ~72%) were describing the modification of natural polymers, such as chitosan (11/47, ~23%) and hyaluronic acid (6/47, ~13%); conjugation of dopamine (as catechol “donor”) via carbodiimide coupling chemistry was also predominant. Importantly, modification with DA did not impact the biocompatibility and mechanical properties of the biomaterials and resulting hydrogels. Overall, there is ample evidence in the literature that the bioinspired substitution of polymers of natural and synthetic origin by DA or other catechol moieties greatly improves adhesion to biological tissues (and other inorganic surfaces).

Abstract
The development of biologically active multifunctional hydrogel wound dressings can assist effectively to wound regeneration and also has influenced multiple functions on wound injury. Herein, we designed a carbon-based composited injectable silk fibroin hydrogel as multifunctional wound dressing to provide effective anti-bacterial, cell compatibility and in vivo wound closure actions. Importantly, the fabricated injectable hydrogel exhibit sustained drug delivery properties, anti-oxidant and self-healing abilities, which confirm that composition of hydrogel is highly beneficial to tissue adhesions and burn wound regeneration ability. Frequently, designed injectable hydrogel can be injected into deep and irregular burn wound sites and would provide rapid self-healing and protection from infection environment with thoroughly filled wound area. Meanwhile, incorporated carbon nanofillers improve injectable hydrogel strength and also offer high fluid uptake to hydrogel when applied on the wound sites. In vitro MTT cytotoxicity assay on human fibroblast cell lines establish outstanding cytocompatibility of the injectable hydrogel and also have capability to support cell growth and proliferations. In vivo burn wound animal model results demonstrate that the hydrogel dressings predominantly influenced enhanced wound contraction and also promoted greater collagen deposition, granulation tissue thickness and vascularization. This investigation's outcome could open a new pathway to fabricate multifunctional biopolymeric hydrogel for quicker burn wound therapy and effectively prevents microenvironment bacterial infections.

Abstract
The exceptional underwater adhesive properties displayed by aquatic organisms, such as mussels (Mytilus spp.) and barnacles (Cirripedia spp.) have long inspired new approaches to adhesives with a superior performance both in wet and dry environments. Herein, a bioinspired adhesive composite that combines both adhesion mechanisms of mussels and barnacles through a blend of silk, polydopamine, and Fe3+ ions in an entirely organic, nontoxic water-based formulation is presented. This approach seeks to recapitulate the two distinct mechanisms that underpin the adhesion properties of the Mytilus and Cirripedia, with the former secreting sticky proteinaceous filaments called byssus while the latter produces a strong proteic cement to ensure anchoring. The composite shows remarkable adhesive properties both in dry and wet conditions, favorably comparing to synthetic commercial glues and other adhesives based on natural polymers, with performance comparable to the best underwater adhesives with the additional advantage of having an entirely biological composition that requires no synthetic procedures or processing.

Abstract
Proteins are fundamentally the most important macromolecules for biochemical, mechanical, and structural functions in living organisms. Therefore, they provide us with diverse structural building blocks for constructing various types of biomaterials, including an important class of such materials, hydrogels. Since natural peptides and proteins are biocompatible and biodegradable, they have features advantageous for their use as the building blocks of hydrogels for biomedical applications. They display constitutional and mechanical similarities with the native extracellular matrix (ECM), and can be easily bio-functionalized via genetic and chemical engineering with features such as bio-recognition, specific stimulus-reactivity, and controlled degradation. This review aims to give an overview of hydrogels made up of recombinant proteins or synthetic peptides as the structural elements building the polymer network. A wide variety of hydrogels composed of protein or peptide building blocks with different origins and compositions - including β-hairpin peptides, α-helical coiled coil peptides, elastin-like peptides, silk fibroin, and resilin - have been designed to date. In this review, the structures and characteristics of these natural proteins and peptides, with each of their gelation mechanisms, and the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties as well as biocompatibility of the resulting hydrogels are described. In addition, this review discusses the potential of using protein- or peptide-based hydrogels in the field of biomedical sciences, especially tissue engineering.

Abstract
Bio-adhesives are essential for wound healing because of their convenience and safety. Although widely used as biomaterials, silk fibroin's (SF's) further application as bio-adhesive is hindered due to its weak stickiness with tissue and slow gelation speed. Here, a dopamine-modified SF-based bio-adhesive is fabricated by using genipin as the chemical cross-linking agent. Furthermore, metal ions have been used to adjust the adhesion property of the bio-adhesive. The experimental results shows that the dopamine-modified SF-based composite holds a better stickiness except slow gelation speed. The doping of Cu2+and Fe3+can accelerate the gelation of the bio-adhesive. Compared with Cu2+, Fe3+has a stronger effect on the gelation speed of the bio-adhesive, which is positive correlative to the concentration of Fe3+. The adhesive has injectability and degradability. In addition, the SF-based adhesive has good biocompatibility and good improvement for cell migrationin vitro. The SF-based bio-adhesive holds potential application in the field of rapid fixation of wounds.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the hydrogels prepared from silk fibroin have received immense research attention due to the advantages of safe nature, biocompatibility, controllable degradation and capability to combine with other materials. They have broad application prospects in biomedicine and other fields. However, the traditional silk protein hydrogels have a simple network structure and single functionality, thus, leading to poor adaptability towards complex application environments. As a result, the application fields and development have been significantly restricted. However, the development of functional silk protein hydrogels has provided the opportunities to overcome the limitations of the silk protein hydrogels. In recent years, the functional design of the silk protein hydrogels and their potential applications have attracted the attention of scholars worldwide. Nevertheless, a comprehensive review on functional silk protein hydrogels is missing so far. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the development status of the functional silk protein hydrogels, this article reviews the current status of the preparation, properties and application of the functional silk protein hydrogels. The article first briefly introduces the current cross-linking methods (including physical and chemical cross-linking), principles, advantages and limitations of the silk protein hydrogels. Subsequently, the types of functional silk protein hydrogels (e.g., high strength, injectable, self-healing, adhesive, conductive, environmental stimuli-responsive, 3D printable, etc.) and design principles for functional implementation have been introduced. Next, based on the advantages of the various functional aspects of the silk protein hydrogels, the applications of these hydrogels in the biomedical field (tissue engineering, sustained drug release, wound repair, adhesives, etc.) and bioelectronics are reviewed. Finally, the development prospects and challenges associated with silk protein functional hydrogels have been analyzed. It is hoped that this study will contribute towards the future innovation of the silk protein hydrogels by promoting the rational design of new mechanisms and successful realization of the target applications.

Abstract
Wound dressing has been used for decades to be effective for accelerating skin wound healing. However, practical applications are still limited due to their lower cell affinity, tissue adhesiveness, and biocompatibility. Natural polymers are the important biomaterials because of their excellent biodegradability, biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity. In this work, the composite bioadhesives (PLS-CS/RSF) were prepared from regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) and polylysine-modified chitosan (PLS-CS) that were cross-linked by Ca2+ ions. The adhesion property tests showed that the PLS-CS/RSF exhibited excellent bonding potentials for various substrates, and the adhesive strength was up to 70 kPa for isolated porcine skin by the extension test. The as-prepared PLS-CS/RSF was nontoxic, displayed obvious antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in vitro, and their bacteriostasis rates were 100% after 120 min treatment. In addition, the PLS-CS/RSF exhibited favorable cytocompatibility by cell counting kit-8 assay. The animal model of wound closure results showed that PLS-CS/RSF can promote wound closure and the integrity of wound healing, inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory factor and tumor necrosis factor and stimulating vascular factor and α-smooth muscle actin to the release of vascular growth factor and promote angiogenesis during the process of wound healing by immunohistochemical assay.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties of Injectable Betamethasone-Loaded Tyramine-Modified Gellan Gum/Silk Fibroin Hydrogels. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10101456.

Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a rheumatic disease for which a healing treatment does not presently exist. Silk fibroin has been extensively studied for use in drug delivery systems due to its uniqueness, versatility and strong clinical track record in medicine. However, in general, natural polymeric materials are not mechanically stable enough, and have high rates of biodegradation. Thus, synthetic materials such as gellan gum can be used to produce composite structures with biological signals to promote tissue-specific interactions while providing the desired mechanical properties. In this work, we aimed to produce hydrogels of tyramine-modified gellan gum with silk fibroin (Ty–GG/SF) via horseradish peroxidase (HRP), with encapsulated betamethasone, to improve the biocompatibility and mechanical properties, and further increase therapeutic efficacy to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Ty–GG/SF hydrogels presented a β-sheet secondary structure, with gelation time around 2–5 min, good resistance to enzymatic degradation, a suitable injectability profile, viscoelastic capacity with a significant solid component and a betamethasone-controlled release profile over time. In vitro studies showed that Ty–GG/SF hydrogels did not produce a deleterious effect on cellular metabolic activity, morphology or proliferation. Furthermore, Ty–GG/SF hydrogels with encapsulated betamethasone revealed greater therapeutic efficacy than the drug applied alone. Therefore, this strategy can provide an improvement in therapeutic efficacy when compared to the traditional use of drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.
