Abstract
Over the years, polysaccharides such as chitosan, alginate, hyaluronic acid, k-carrageenan, xanthan gum, carboxymethyl cellulose, pectin, and starch, alone or in combination with proteins and/or synthetic polymers, have been used to engineer an extensive portfolio of hydrogels with remarkable features. The application of polysaccharide-based hydrogels has the potential to alleviate challenges related to bioavailability, solubility, stability, and targeted delivery of phytocompounds, contributing to the development of innovative and efficient drug delivery systems and functional food formulations. This review highlights the current knowledge acquired on the preparation, features and applications of polysaccharide/phytocompounds hydrogel-based hybrid systems in wound management, drug delivery, functional foods, and food industry. The structural, functional, and biological requirements of polysaccharides and phytocompounds on the overall performance of such hybrid systems, and their impact on the application domains are also discussed.

Abstract
Cellulose-based polymer scaffolds are highly diverse for designing and fabricating artificial bone substitutes. However, realizing the multi-biological functions of cellulose-based scaffolds has long been challenging. In this work, inspired by the structure and function of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of bone, we developed a novel yet feasible strategy to prepare ECM-like scaffolds with hybrid calcium/zinc mineralization. The 3D porous structure was formed via selective oxidation and freeze drying of bacterial cellulose. Following the principle of electrostatic interaction, calcium/zinc hybrid hydroxyapatite nucleated, crystallized, and precipitated on the 3D scaffold in simulated physiological conditions, which was well confirmed by morphology and composition analysis. Compared with alternative scaffold cohorts, this hybrid ion-loaded cellulose scaffold exhibited a pronounced elevation in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteogenic gene expression, and cranial defect regeneration. Notably, the hybrid ion-loaded cellulose scaffold effectively fostered an M2 macrophage milieu and had a strong immune effect in vivo. In summary, this study developed a hybrid multifunctional cellulose-based scaffold that appropriately simulates the ECM to regulate immunomodulatory and osteogenic differentiation, setting a measure for artificial bone substitutes.

Abstract
Addressing the pervasive issue of bacteria and biofilm infections is crucial in the development of advanced antifouling wound dressings. In this study, a novel wound healing treatment using sulfobetaine (SBMA) decorated electrospun fibrous membrane based on polycaprolactone (PCL)/nitric oxide (NO) donors was developed. The fabrication involved a dual strategy, first integrating NO donors into mesoporous polydopamine (MPDA) and complexed with PCL/PEI to electrospin nanofibers. The fibrous membrane exhibited a potent antibacterial response upon irradiation at 808 nm, owing to a combination of NO and photothermal effect that effectively targets bacteria and disrupts biofilms. Surface functionalization of the membrane with PEI allowed for the attachment of SBMA via Michael addition, fabricating a zwitterionic surface, which significantly hinders protein adsorption and reduces biofilm formation on the wound dressing. In vitro and in vivo assessments confirmed the rapid bactericidal capabilities and its efficacy in biofilm eradication. Combining photothermal activity, targeted NO release and antifouling surface, this multifaceted wound dressing addresses key challenges in bacterial infection management and biofilm eradication, promoting efficient wound healing.

Abstract
Skin has a protein microenvironment dominated by functional collagen fibers, while oxidative stress caused by injury can greatly slow down the progress of wound healing. Here, methacrylated dopamine was incorporated into methacrylated silk fibroin molecule chains to develop an injectable hydrogel with photocuring properties for constructing an antioxidant skin protein microenvironment. This silk fibroin-based hydrogel (SF-g-SDA) showed good tensile and adhesion properties for adapting to the wound shape and skin movement, exhibited stable mechanical properties, good biodegradability and cytocompatibility, and promoted cell adhesion and vascularization in vitro. In addition, its phenolic hydroxyl-mediated antioxidant properties effectively protected cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and supported normal cellular life activities. In animal experiments, SF-g-SDA achieved better skin repair effects in comparison to commercial Tegaderm™ in vivo, showing its ability to accelerate wound healing, improve collagen deposition and alignment in newly fabricated tissues, and promote neovascularization and hair follicle formation. These experimental results indicated that the SF-g-SDA hydrogel is a promising wound dressing.

Abstract
The limited regulation strategies of the regeneration microenvironment significantly hinder bone defect repair effectiveness. One potential solution is using biomaterials capable of releasing bioactive ions and biomolecules. However, most existing biomaterials lack real-time control features, failing to meet high regulation requirements. Herein, a new Strontium (Sr) and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) based metal-phenolic network with polydopamine (PMPNs) modification is prepared. This material reinforces a biomimetic scaffold made of extracellular matrix (ECM) and hydroxyapatite nanowires (nHAW). The PMPNs@ECM/nHAW scaffold demonstrates exceptional scavenging of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS), promoting HUVECs cell migration and angiogenesis, inducing stem cell osteogenic differentiation, and displaying high biocompatibility. Additionally, the PMPNs exhibit excellent photothermal properties, further enhancing the scaffold's bioactivities. In vivo studies confirm that PMPNs@ECM/nHAW with near-infrared (NIR) stimulation significantly promotes angiogenesis and osteogenesis, effectively regulating the microenvironment and facilitating bone tissue repair. This research not only provides a biomimetic scaffold for bone regeneration but also introduces a novel strategy for designing advanced biomaterials. The combination of real-time photothermal intervention and long-term chemical intervention, achieved through the release of bioactive molecules/ions, represents a promising direction for future biomaterial development.

Abstract
Bone defects have become a major cause of disability and death. To overcome the limitations of natural bone implants, including donor shortages and immune rejection risks, bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds have emerged as a promising therapy for bone defects. Despite possessing good biocompatibility, these metal, ceramic and polymer-based scaffolds are still challenged by the harsh conditions in bone defect sites. ROS accumulation, bacterial infection, excessive inflammation, compromised blood supply deficiency and tumor recurrence negatively impact bone tissue cells (BTCs) and hinder the osteointegration of BTE scaffolds. Phenolic compounds, derived from plants and fruits, have gained growing application in treating inflammatory, infectious and aging-related diseases due to their antioxidant ability conferred by phenolic hydroxyl groups. The prevalent interactions between phenols and functional groups also facilitate their utilization in fabricating scaffolds. Consequently, phenols are increasingly incorporated into BTE scaffolds to boost therapeutic efficacy in bone defect. This review demonstrated the effects of phenols on BTCs and bone defect microenvironment, summarized the intrinsic mechanisms, presented the advances in phenol-modified BTE scaffolds and analyzed their potential risks in practical applications. Overall, phenol-modified BTE scaffolds hold great potential for repairing bone defects, offering novel patterns for BTE scaffold construction and advancing traumatological medicine.
