Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), the only bacterium classified as a type I (definite) carcinogen, is strongly associated with the development of gastric inflammation and adenocarcinoma. It infects the stomach of approximately half of the global population, equivalent to nearly 4.4 billion people. However, due to physiological barriers in the stomach, microbial barriers and increased antibiotic resistance, the therapeutic efficiency of standard antibiotic therapy is limited and cannot meet the clinical needs in some areas. Combining stimulus-responsive biomaterials with certain stimuli is an emerging antibacterial strategy. Stimulus-responsive biomaterials can respond to chemical, biological or physical cues in the environment with corresponding changes in their own properties and functions, highlighting a more intelligent, targeting and efficient aspect for H. pylori therapy. AIM OF REVIEW This review describes the critical obstacles in the current treatment of H. pylori, summarizes the recent advances in stimulus-responsive biomaterials against H. pylori by elucidating their working mechanisms and antibacterial performances under different types of stimuli (pH, enzymes, light, magnetic and ultrasound irradiations), and attempts to analyze the future prospects of such smart biomaterial for H. pylori eradication. Key Scientific Concepts of Review: Any characteristic property or change in the biomilieu at the H. pylori infected site (endogenous stimuli) or specific iatrogenic conditions in vitro (exogenous stimuli) can act as cues to activate or potentiate the antibacterial activity of responsive biomaterials. The responsiveness of these materials to endogenous stimuli enhances antimicrobial targeting, and makes physiological barriers that would otherwise hinder conventional H. pylori therapies a key factor in facilitating antibacterial effects. The responsiveness to exogenous stimuli greatly prolongs the action time of antimicrobial materials and pinpoints the site of infection, thereby reducing toxic side effects. These findings pave the way for the development of more precise and effective anti-H. pylori treatment.

Abstract
The demand for engineered scaffolds capable of delivering multiple cues to cells continues to grow as the interplay between cell fate with microenvironmental and external cues is revealed. Emphasis has been given to develop stimuli-responsive scaffolds. These scaffolds are designed to sense an external stimulus triggering a specific response (e.g., change in the microenvironment, release therapeutics, etc.) and then initiate/modulate a desired biofunction. Here, magnetic-responsive carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (cMWCNTs) are integrated into 3D collagen/polylactic acid (PLA) scaffold via a reproducible filtration-based method. The integrity and biomechanical performance of the collagen/PLA scaffolds are preserved after cMWCNT integration. In vitro safety assessment of cMWCNT/collagen/PLA scaffolds shows neither cytotoxicity effects nor macrophage pro-inflammatory response, supporting further in vitro studies. The cMWCNT/collagen/PLA scaffolds enhance chondrocytes metabolic activity while maintaining high cell viability and extracellular matrix (i.e., type II collagen and aggrecan) production. Comprehensive in vitro study applying static and pulsed magnetic field on seeded scaffolds shows no specific cell response in dependence with the applied field. This result is independent of the presence or absence of cMWCNT into the collagen/PLA scaffolds. Taken together, these findings provide additional evidence of the benefits to exploit the CNTs outstanding properties in the design of stimuli-responsive scaffolds.

Abstract
Hydrogels are widely used biomaterials in the delivery of therapeutic agents, including drugs, genes, proteins, etc., as well as tissue engineering, due to obvious properties such as biocompatibility and their similarity to natural body tissues. Some of these substances have the feature of injectability, which means that the substance is injected into the desired place in the solution state and then turns into the gel, which makes it possible to administer them from a way with a minimal amount of invasion and eliminate the need for surgery to implant pre-formed materials. Gelation can be caused by a stimulus and/or spontaneously. Suppose this induces due to the effect of one or many stimuli. In that case, the material in question is called stimuli-responsive because it responds to the surrounding conditions. In this context, we introduce the different stimuli that cause gelation and investigate the different mechanisms of the transformation of the solution into the gel in them. Also, we study special structures, such as nano gels or nanocomposite gels.

Synergistic Effect of Static Magnetic Fields and 3D-Printed Iron-Oxide-Nanoparticle-Containing Calcium Silicate/Poly-ε-Caprolactone Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering. Cells 2022; 11:cells11243967. [PMID: 36552731 PMCID: PMC9776421 DOI: 10.3390/cells11243967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 12/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/07/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
In scaffold-regulated bone regeneration, most three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds do not provide physical stimulation to stem cells. In this study, a magnetic scaffold was fabricated using fused deposition modeling with calcium silicate (CS), iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4), and poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) as the matrix for internal magnetic sources. A static magnetic field was used as an external magnetic source. It was observed that 5% Fe3O4 provided a favorable combination of compressive strength (9.6 ± 0.9 MPa) and degradation rate (21.6 ± 1.9% for four weeks). Furthermore, the Fe3O4-containing scaffold increased in vitro bioactivity and Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells' (WJMSCs) adhesion. Moreover, it was shown that the Fe3O4-containing scaffold enhanced WJMSCs' proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity, and the osteogenic-related proteins of the scaffold. Under the synergistic effect of the static magnetic field, the CS scaffold containing Fe3O4 can not only enhance cell activity but also stimulate the simultaneous secretion of collagen I and osteocalcin. Overall, our results demonstrated that Fe3O4-containing CS/PCL scaffolds could be fabricated three dimensionally and combined with a static magnetic field to affect cell behaviors, potentially increasing the likelihood of clinical applications for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
The application of drug-loaded nanodroplets is still limited by their insufficient accumulation owing to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect failure in cancer therapy. To overcome these limitations, we propose an alternative magnetic particle-encapsulated nanodroplet (MPE-ND) with outstanding biosafety and magnetic targeting by encapsulating fluorinated Fe3O4-SiO2 nanoparticles inside the liquid core of the nanodroplets. Meanwhile, doxorubicin (DOX) can be stably loaded into the shell through both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions to obtain drug-loaded MPE-NDs. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have consistently demonstrated that drug-loaded MPE-NDs can significantly increase the local drug concentration and enhance the damage of tumor tissues through acoustic droplet vaporization under a static magnetic field (eADV therapy). Histological examination reveals that eADV therapy efficiently suppresses tumor proliferation by inducing apoptosis, destroying supply vessels, and inhibiting neovascularization. Drug-loaded MPE-NDs can be expected to open a new gateway for ultrasound-triggered drug delivery and cancer treatment.

Abstract
Innovations in nanomedicine has guided the improved outcomes for cancer diagnosis and therapy. However, frequent use of nanomaterials remains challenging due to specific limitations like non-targeted distribution causing low signal-to-noise ratio for diagnostics, complex fabrication, reduced-biocompatibility, decreased photostability, and systemic toxicity of nanomaterials within the body. Thus, better nanomaterial-systems with controlled physicochemical and biological properties, form the need of the hour. In this context, smart nanomaterials serve as promising solution, as they can be activated under specific exogenous or endogenous stimuli such as pH, temperature, enzymes, or a particular biological molecule. The properties of smart nanomaterials make them ideal candidates for various applications like biosensors, controlled drug release, and treatment of various diseases. Recently, smart nanomaterial-based cancer theranostic approaches have been developed, and they are displaying better selectivity and sensitivity with reduced side-effects in comparison to conventional methods. In cancer therapy, the smart nanomaterials-system only activates in response to tumor microenvironment (TME) and remains in deactivated state in normal cells, which further reduces the side-effects and systemic toxicities. Thus, the present review aims to describe the stimulus-based classification of smart nanomaterials, tumor microenvironment-responsive behaviour, and their up-to-date applications in cancer theranostics. Besides, present review addresses the development of various smart nanomaterials and their advantages for diagnosing and treating cancer. Here, we also discuss about the drug targeting and sustained drug release from nanocarriers, and different types of nanomaterials which have been engineered for this intent. Additionally, the present challenges and prospects of nanomaterials in effective cancer diagnosis and therapeutics have been discussed.

Pal VK, Roy S. Cooperative Metal Ion Coordination to the Short Self-Assembling Peptide Promotes Hydrogelation and Cellular Proliferation. Macromol Biosci 2022; 22:e2100462.

Abstract
Non-covalent interactions among short peptides and proteins led to their molecular self-assembly into supramolecular packaging, which provides the fundamental basis of life. These biomolecular assemblies are highly susceptible to the environmental conditions, including temperature, light, pH, and ionic concentration, thus inspiring the fabrication of a new class of stimuli-responsive biomaterials. Here, we report for the first time the cooperative effect of the divalent metal ions to promote hydrogelation in the short collagen inspired self-assembling peptide for developing advanced biomaterials. Introduction of the biologically relevant metal ions (Ca2+ /Mg2+ ) to the peptide surpasses its limitation to self-assemble into a multi-scale structure at physiological pH. In particular, in presence of metal ions, the negatively charged peptide showed a distinct shift in its equilibrium point of gelation and demonstrated conversion from sol to gel and thus enabling the scope of fabricating an advanced biomaterial for controlling cellular behaviour. Interestingly, tunable mechanical strength and improved cellular response were observed within ion-coordinated peptide hydrogels compared to the peptide gelator. Microscopic analyses, rheological assessment, and biological studies established the importance of utilizing a novel strategy by simply using metal ions to modulate the physical and biological attributes of CIPs to construct next-generation biomaterials.
