Abstract
Existing artificial periostea face many challenges, including difficult-to-replicate anisotropy in mechanics and structure, poor tissue adhesion, and neglected synergistic angiogenesis and osteogenesis. Here, inspired by natural wood (NW), a wood-derived elastic artificial periosteum is developed to mimic the structure and functions of natural periosteum, which combines an elastic wood (EW) skeleton, a polydopamine (PDA) binder layer, and layer-by-layer (LBL) biofunctional layers. Specifically, EW derived from NW is utilized as the anisotropic skeleton of artificial periosteum to guide cell directional behaviors, moreover, it also shows a similar elastic modulus and flexibility to natural periosteum. To further enhance its synergistic angiogenesis and osteogenesis, surface LBL biofunctional layers are designed to serve as spatiotemporal release platforms to achieve sequential and long-term release of pamidronate disodium (PDS) and deferoxamine (DFO), which are pre-encapsulated in chitosan (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) solutions, respectively. Furthermore, the combined effect of PDA coating and LBL biofunctional layers enables the periosteum to tightly adhere to damaged bone tissue. More importantly, this novel artificial periosteum can boost angiogenesis and bone formation in vitro and in vivo. This study opens up a new path for biomimetic design of artificial periosteum, and provides a feasible clinical strategy for bone repair.

Abstract
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is considered as a promising dental implant material owing to its excellent physicochemical and mechanical properties. However, its wide range of applications is limited by its biologically inert nature. In this study, a near-infrared (NIR) light responsive bioactive coating with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and metronidazole adhered to the PEEK surface via dopamine polymerization. Compared to pure PEEK, the hydrophilicity of the treated PEEK surface was significantly improved. In addition, under NIR light, the surface coating exhibited photothermal conversion effect, and gold nanoparticles and the antibiotic can be released from the coating. This improved the antibacterial properties of PEEK materials. Moreover, the coating was more conducive to the early adhesion of bone mesenchymal stem cells. The results of in vitro and in vivo osteogenic activity studies showed that the developed coating promoted osseointegration of PEEK implants, and NIR light irradiation further improved the antibacterial ability and osteogenic activity of PEEK implants. Through RNA sequencing, the potential underlying mechanism of promoting bone formation of the AuNPs coating combined metronidazole was interpreted. In summary, the developed coating is a potential surface treatment strategy that endows PEEK with enhanced osseointegration and antibacterial properties.

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
Antimicrobial resistance has become a major problem over the years and threatens to remain in the future, at least until a solution is found. Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and antimicrobial polymers (APs) are known for their antimicrobial properties and can be considered an alternative approach to fighting resistant microorganisms. Hence, the main goal of this research is to shed some light on the antimicrobial properties of Ag-NPs and APs (chitosan (CH), poly-L-lysine (PLL), ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PLL), and dopamine (DA)) when used alone and complexed to explore the potential enhancement of the antimicrobial effect of the combination Ag-NPs + Aps. The resultant nanocomplexes were chemically and morphologically characterized by UV-visible spectra, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, the Ag-NPs, APs, and Ag-NPs + APs nanocomplexes were tested against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, as well as the fungi Candida albicans (C. albicans). Overall, the antimicrobial results showed potentiation of the activity of the nanocomplexes with a focus on C. albicans. For the biofilm eradication ability, Ag-NPs and Ag-NPs + DA were able to significantly remove S. aureus preformed biofilm, and Ag-NPs + CH were able to significantly destroy C. albicans biofilm, with both performing better than Ag-NPs alone. Overall, we have proven the successful conjugation of Ag-NPs and APs, with some of these formulations showing potential to be further investigated for the treatment of microbial infections.

Abstract
Poly(lactic-glycolic acid) (PLGA) is a biocompatible bio-scaffold material, but its own hydrophobic and electrically neutral surface limits its application as a cell scaffold. Polymer materials, mimics ECM materials, and organic material have often been used as coating materials for PLGA cell scaffolds to improve the poor cell adhesion of PLGA and enhance tissue adaptation. These coating materials can be modified on the PLGA surface via simple physical or chemical methods, and coating multiple materials can simultaneously confer different functions to the PLGA scaffold; not only does this ensure stronger cell adhesion but it also modulates cell behavior and function. This approach to coating could facilitate the production of more PLGA-based cell scaffolds. This review focuses on the PLGA surface-modified materials, methods, and applications, and will provide guidance for PLGA surface modification.

Abstract
The surface modification of filters with large pore sizes for the development of low-cost gravity-driven point-of-use (POU) technologies for water disinfection can be an effective strategy to empower people to access safe water instantly, especially in low- and middle-income countries. In this study, the surface of commercial cellulose filter papers, as cheap and bio-based filters, was modified with polydopamine (PDA), polyethyleneimine (PEI) and ZnO/Ag/GO nanocomposite (ZnO/Ag/GO@PDA/PEI papers) for bacterial removal from water. PDA/PEI incorporation introduced a cationic functional layer, which can entrap negative bacteria and make a stable chemical bond with the nanocomposite. ZnO/Ag/GO exhibited promising synergistic antibacterial activities (30 times stronger than ZnO). As a result, 3 sheets of ZnO/Ag/GO@PDA/PEI papers showed a 99.98% bacterial reduction (E. coli), which met the WHO standards. Moreover, the leached zinc and silver in the filtrate were far below the WHO's limits (380 and 10 ppb, respectively). The results showed that the modified papers could be reused multiple times. After six times of reuse, the flow rate dropped slightly (below 20%) and the bacterial removal efficiency was more than 99.9%. This study is valuable for developing filters for treating bacterial-contaminated water on-site with no need for energy, which is a demand in many countries.

Abstract
Multi-drug resistant (MDR) bactearial strains have posed serious health issues, thus leading to a significant increase in mortality, morbidity, and the expensive treatment of infections. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), comprising metal ions and a variety of organic ligands, have been employed as an effective drug deliveryy vehicle due to their low toxicity, biodegradability, higher structural integrity and diverse surface functionalities. Polydopamine (PDA) is a versatile biocompatible polymer with several interesting properties, including the ability to adhere to biological surfaces. As a result, modifying drug delivery vehicles with PDA has the potential to improve their antimicrobial properties. This work describes the preparation of PDA-coated Zn-MOFs for improving curcumin's antibacterial properties against S. aureus and E. coli. Powder X-ray diffraction (P-XRD), FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and DLS were utilized to characterize PDA-coated Zn-MOFs. The curcumin loading and in vitro release of the prepared MOFs were also examined. Finally, the MOFs were tested for bactericidal ability against E. coli and S. aureus using an anti-bacterial assay and surface morphological analysis. Smaller size MOFs were capable of loading and releasing curcumin. The findings showed that as curcumin was encapsulated into PDA-coated MOFs, its bactericidal potential was significantly enhanced, and the findings were further supported by SEM which indicated the complete morphological distortion of the bacteria after treatment with PDA-Cur-Zn-MOFs. These studies clearly indicate that the PDA-Cur-Zn-MOFs developed in this study are extremely promising for long-term release of drugs to treat a wide range of microbial infections.

Abstract
Recent years have seen the emergence of tissue engineering strategies as a means to overcome some of the limits of conventional medical treatment. A biomaterial with tailored physio-chemical characteristics is used in this sophisticated method to transport stem cells and growth factors/bioactive substances, or to attract local endogenous cells, enabling new tissue formation. Biomaterials might serve as a biomimetic structure inspired by the natural milieu, assisting the cells in establishing their natural relationships. Such a method would benefit from having ready access to an abundant reservoir of stem cells with strong tissue regeneration capacity, in addition to using biological compatible material to promote new tissue creation. Teeth may have a plethora of self-renewing, multipotent mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) populations. Recent advancements and promising directions for cell transplantation and homing techniques using dental MSCs for tissue regeneration are discussed in this review paper. Overall, this research paints a picture of the present landscape of new approaches to using tooth-derived MSCs in conjunction with biomaterials and bioactive substances for tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Hair loss (alopecia) has a multitude of causes, and the problem is still poorly defined. For curing alopecia, therapies are available in both natural and synthetic forms; however, natural remedies are gaining popularity due to the multiple effects of complex phytoconstituents on the scalp with fewer side effects. Evidence-based hair growth promotion by some plants has been reported for both traditional and advanced treatment approaches. Nanoarchitectonics may have the ability to evolve in the field of hair- and scalp-altering products and treatments, giving new qualities to hair that can be an effective protective layer or a technique to recover lost hair. This review will provide insights into several plant and herbal formulations that have been reported for the prevention of hair loss and stimulation of new hair growth. This review also focuses on the molecular mechanisms of hair growth/loss, several isolated phytoconstituents with hair growth-promoting properties, patents, in vivo evaluation of hair growth-promoting activity, and recent nanoarchitectonic technologies that have been explored for hair growth.

Abstract
Titanium-based implants often lead to premature implant failure due to the lack of antimicrobial, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties. To this end, a new strategy was developed to fabricate CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating on titanium surfaces by combining calcium peroxide (CaO2) nanoparticles, zeolite imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67), and the chemical coupling hyaluronic acid-adipic acid dihydrazide (HA-ADH). We characterized CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). The results demonstrated that CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH was pH-sensitive and decomposed rapidly under acidic conditions, and it released inclusions slowly under neutral conditions. Antibacterial experiments showed that the CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating had excellent antibacterial properties and effectively killed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PAO-1). Cell experiments revealed that the CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating promoted pro-osteoblast adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation and also promoted the migration and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), exhibiting excellent osteogenic and angiogenic properties. In in vivo animal implantation experiments, the CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating exhibited strong antimicrobial activity early after implantation and excellent osseointegration later after implantation. In conclusion, the pH-responsive CaO2@ZIF-67-HA-ADH coating conferred excellent antibacterial, osteogenic, and angiogenic properties to titanium implants, which effectively enhanced osseointegration of the implants and prevented bacterial infection; the coating shows promise for use in the treatment of bone defects.

Abstract
Bacterial infection has traditionally been treated with antibiotics, but their overuse is leading to the development of antibiotic resistance. This may be mitigated by alternative approaches to prevent or treat bacterial infections without utilization of antibiotics. Among the alternatives is the use of photo-responsive antimicrobial nanoparticles and/or nanocomposites, which present unique properties activated by light. In this study, we explored the combined use of titanium oxide and polydopamine to create nanoparticles with photocatalytic and photothermal antibacterial properties triggered by visible or near-infrared light. Furthermore, as a proof-of-concept, these photo-responsive nanoparticles were combined with mussel-inspired catechol-modified hyaluronic acid hydrogels to form novel light-driven antibacterial nanocomposites. The materials were challenged with models of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. For visible light, the average percentage killed (PK) was 94.6 for E. coli and 92.3 for S. aureus. For near-infrared light, PK for E. coli reported 52.8 and 99.2 for S. aureus. These results confirm the exciting potential of these nanocomposites to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance and also to open the door for further studies to optimize their composition in order to increase their bactericidal efficacy for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Biopolymer coatings on implants mediate the interactions between the synthetic material and its biological environment. Owing to its ease of preparation and the possibility to incorporate other bioactive molecules, layer-by-layer deposition is a method commonly used in the construction of biopolymer multilayers. However, this method typically requires at least two types of oppositely charged biopolymers, thus limiting the range of macromolecular options by excluding uncharged biopolymers. Here, we present a layer-by-layer approach that employs mussel-inspired polydopamine as the adhesive intermediate layer to build biopolymer multilayer coatings without requiring any additional chemical modifications. We select three biopolymers with different charge states─anionic alginate, neutral dextran, and cationic polylysine─and successfully assemble them into mono-, double-, or triple-layers. Our results demonstrate that both the layer number and the polymer type modulate the coating properties. Overall, increasing the number of layers in the coatings leads to reduced cell attachment, lower friction, and higher drug loading capacity but does not alter the surface potential. Moreover, varying the biopolymer type affects the surface potential, macrophage differentiation, lubrication performance, and drug release behavior. This proof-of-concept study offers a straightforward and universal coating method, which may broaden the use of multilayer coatings in biomedical applications.

Abstract
Smart biomaterials can sense and react to physiological or external environmental stimuli (e.g., mechanical, chemical, electrical, or magnetic signals). The last decades have seen exponential growth in the use and development of smart dental biomaterials for antimicrobial applications in dentistry. These biomaterial systems offer improved efficacy and controllable bio-functionalities to prevent infections and extend the longevity of dental devices. This review article presents the current state-of-the-art of design, evaluation, advantages, and limitations of bioactive and stimuli-responsive and autonomous dental materials for antimicrobial applications. First, the importance and classification of smart biomaterials are discussed. Second, the categories of bioresponsive antibacterial dental materials are systematically itemized based on different stimuli, including pH, enzymes, light, magnetic field, and vibrations. For each category, their antimicrobial mechanism, applications, and examples are discussed. Finally, we examined the limitations and obstacles required to develop clinically relevant applications of these appealing technologies.

Abstract
This study seeks to simulate both the chemistry and piezoelectricity of bone by synthesizing electroconductive silane-modified gelatin-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) scaffolds using the freeze drying technique. In order to enhance hydrophilicity, cell interaction, and biomineralization, the scaffolds were functionalized with polydopamine (PDA) inspired by mussels. Physicochemical, electrical, and mechanical analyses were conducted on the scaffolds, as well as in vitro evaluations using the osteosarcoma cell line MG-63. It was found that scaffolds had interconnected porous structures, so the PDA layer formation reduced the size of pores while maintaining scaffold uniformity. PDA functionalization reduced the electrical resistance of the constructs while improving their hydrophilicity, compressive strength, and modulus. As a result of the PDA functionalization and the use of silane coupling agents, higher stability and durability were achieved as well as an improvement in biomineralization capability after being soaked in SBF solution for a month. Additionally, the PDA coating enabled the constructs to enhance viability, adhesion, and proliferation of MG-63 cells, as well as to express alkaline phosphatase and deposit HA, indicating that scaffolds can be used for bone regeneration. Therefore, the PDA-coated scaffolds developed in this study and the non-toxic performance of PEDOT:PSS present a promising approach for further in vitro and in vivo studies.

Abstract
Compared to metallic hardware, an effective bone adhesive can revolutionize the treatment of clinically challenging situations such as comminuted, articular, and pediatric fractures. The present study aims to develop such a bio-inspired bone adhesive, based upon a modified mineral-organic adhesive with tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and phosphoserine (OPS) by incorporating nanoparticles of polydopamine (nPDA). The optimal formulation, which was screened using in vitro instrumental tensile adhesion tests, was found to be 50%molTTCP/50%molOPS-2%wtnPDA with a liquid-to-powder ratio of 0.21 mL/g. This adhesive has a substantially stronger adhesive strength (1.0-1.6 MPa) to bovine cortical bone than the adhesive without nPDA (0.5-0.6 MPa). To simulate a clinical scenario of autograft fixation under low mechanical load, we presented the first in vivo model: a rat fibula glued to the tibia, on which the TTCP/OPS-nPDA adhesive (n = 7) was shown to be effective in stabilizing the graft without displacement (a clinical success rate of 86% and 71% at 5 and 12 weeks, respectively) compared to a sham control (0%). Significant coverage of newly formed bone was particularly observed on the surface of the adhesive, thanks to the osteoinductive property of nPDA. To conclude, the TTCP/OPS-nPDA adhesive fulfilled many clinical requirements for the bone fixation, and potentially could be functionalized via nPDA to offer more biological activities, e.g., anti-infection after antibiotic loading.

Abstract
High organic materials in palm oil mill effluent (POME) can result in serious water pollution. To date, biological treatment has been used to reduce the environmental risks of these effluents prior of their discharge into water streams. However, the effluents’ dark brownish colour remains as a significant issue that must be addressed, as it affects the overall quality of water. Although membrane technology has been frequently used to address these difficulties, membrane fouling has become a serious limitation in POME treatment. On the other hand, zwitterions with balanced charge groups have received growing interest in the fabrication of antifouling membranes due to their hydrated nature. The development of a simple and efficient covalent bonding technique to improve the stability of zwitterions on membrane surfaces remains a challenge. By grafting and co-depositing polyethylenimine (PEI)-based zwitterion (Z-PEI) with super hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) on the surface of a commercial polysulfone (PSf) ultrafiltration membrane at ambient temperature, a new zwitterionic surface with a neutral surface charge was created (PDA/Z-PEI). This study aims to investigate the effect of different loading ratios of PDA/Z-PEI (1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) and evaluate their performance on treating brownish coloured anaerobically treated POME (AT-POME). SEM and FTIR analysis showed the successful incorporation of the PDA/Z-PEI membrane while the zwitterionic feature is indicated by zeta potential analysis. Water flux analysis demonstrated that a lower water flux was achieved for M-ZPEI membranes as compared to the PSf and PSf-MDPA membranes, attributed by the tight skin layer of PDA-ZPEI. In the development of a tight hydration layer on the membrane surface by zwitterions, zwitterionic membranes demonstrated excellent antifouling capabilities, particularly PDA/Z-PEI with a loading ratio of (1:2) with a flux recovery ratio of around 84% and colour rejection of 81.75%. Overall, this research contributes to the development of a unique coating with improved stability and antifouling properties by altering the membrane surface in a simple and reliable manner.

Abstract
Orthopedic implants are crucial interventions that are gaining greater importance in modern medicine to restore function to commonly affected joints. Each implantation carries the risk of implant-associated infection and loosening of the implant due to improper integration with soft tissue. Coating strategies have been developed to aid the growth of bone into the implant (osteointegration) and prevent biofilm formation to avoid infection. In this review, primary articles highlighting recent developments and advancements in orthopedic implant coating will be presented. Additionally, the methodology of the articles will be critiqued based on this research criteria: establishment of function on a theoretical basis, validation of coating function, and potential next steps/improvements based on results. A theoretical basis based on understanding the mechanisms at play of these various coatings allows for systems to be developed to tackle the tasks of osteointegration, subversion of infection, and avoidance of cytotoxicity. The current state of research methodology in coating design focuses too heavily on either osteointegration or the prevention of infection, thus, future development in medical implant coating needs to investigate the creation of a coating that accomplishes both tasks. Additionally, next steps and improvements to systems need to be better highlighted to move forward when problems arise within a system. Research currently showcasing new coatings is performed primarily in vitro and in vivo. More clinical trials need to be performed to highlight long-term sustainability, the structural integrity, and the safety of the implant.

Abstract
Antibacterial coatings are regarded as a necessary tool to prevent implant-related infections. Substrate-independent and widely applicable coating techniques are gaining significant interest to synthesize different types of antibacterial films, which can be relevant from a fundamental and application-oriented perspective. Plasma polymer- and polydopamine-based antibacterial coatings represent the most widely studied and versatile approaches among these coating techniques. Both single- and dual-functional antibacterial coatings can be fabricated with these approaches and a variety of dual-functional antibacterial coating strategies can still be explored in future work. These coatings can potentially be used for a wide range of different implants (material, shape, and size). However, for most implants, significantly more fundamental knowledge needs to be gained before these coatings can find real-life use.

Abstract
Regeneration of gastrointestinal tissues remains a great challenge due to their unique microenvironment. Functional composite decellularized scaffolds have shown great potential in gastrointestinal repair and inducing gastrointestinal tissue-specific proliferation. In this study, polydopamine (PDA)-mediated surface modification of decellularized intestinal scaffolds (DIS), combined with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSC), was used to promote intestinal wound healing while avoiding intestinal resection. The results showed that DIS had good biocompatibility and could maintain the growth and proliferation of ADSC. Moreover, PDA-coated DIS not only had anti-infection ability but could also further promote the secretory activity for the paracrine effects of ADSC. ADSC cultured on PDA-DIS produced significantly higher levels of anti-inflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines than those cultured on plastic plates or DIS. In vivo, ADSC-PDA-DIS significantly promoted intestinal wound closure in rat intestinal defect models. Moreover, ADSC-PDA-DIS was able to induce more neovascularization at 4 weeks postoperatively and promoted macrophage recruitment to accelerate wound healing. Taken together, the results showed that PDA-modified DIS could significantly improve the efficacy of stem cell therapy, and ADSC-PDA-DIS could improve the wound healing process with anti-infection effects, enhancing neovascularization and immunoregulation, which may be of great clinical significance for gastrointestinal regeneration.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA), a bioinspired polymer from mussel adhesive proteins, has attracted impressive attention as a novel coating for (nano) materials with an adequate conformal layer and adjustable thickness. Currently, PDA is obtained from dopamine chemical oxidation under alkaline conditions, limiting its use in materials sensible to alkaline environments. Envisaging a widespread use of PDA, the polymerization of dopamine by enzymatic catalysis allows the dopamine polymerization in a large range of pHs, overcoming thus the limitations of conventional chemical oxidation. Moreover, the conventional method of polymerization is a time-consuming process and produces PDA films with poor stability, which restricts its applications. On the other hand, the main bottleneck of enzyme-based biocatalytic processes is the high cost of the single use of the enzyme. In this work, laccase was used to catalyse dopamine polymerization. To improve its performance, a liquid support for integrating the laccase and its reuse together with the PDA production and recovery was developed using aqueous biphasic systems (ABS). Firstly, dopamine polymerization by laccase was optimized in terms of pH, temperature and initial dopamine concentration. It was demonstrated that the highest enzymatic polymerization of dopamine was achieved at pH 5.5, 30°C and 2 mg ml−1 of dopamine. Then, ABS composed of polymers, salts and ionic liquids were evaluated to optimize the laccase confinement in one phase while PDA is recovered in the opposite phase. The most promising ABS allowing the separation of laccase from the reaction product is composed of polypropylene glycol (400 g mol−1) and K2HPO4. The polymerization of dopamine in ABS leads to a remarkable improvement of polymerization of 3.9-fold in comparison to the conventional chemical PDA polymerization. The phase containing the confined laccase was reused for four consecutive reaction cycles, with a relative polymerization of 68.9% in the last cycle. The results of this work proved that ABS are a promising approach to create a liquid support for enzyme reuse allowing the process intensification efforts. The use of biocatalysts in ABS emerges as sustainable and alternative platforms from environmental and techno-economic points of view.

Abstract
Antibacterial polymer materials have gained interest due to their capability to inhibit or eradicate biofilms with greater efficiency in comparison with their monomeric counterparts. Among the antimicrobial and anti-biofouling polymers, catecholamine-based polymers - and in particular polydopamine - have been studied due to their favorable adhesion properties, which can be tuned by controlling the pH value. In this study, we used atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based spectroscopy to investigate the relation between the adhesion properties and surface charge density and the pH of electrochemically deposited polydopamine films presenting a dissociation constant of polydopamine of 6.3 ± 0.2 and a point of zero charge of 5.37 ± 0.06. Furthermore, using AFM and attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), the influence of the surface charge density of polydopamine on bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation was investigated. It was shown that the adhesion of Escherichia coli at positively charged polydopamine is three times higher compared to a negatively charged polymer, and that the formation of biofilms is favored at positively charged polymers.

Abstract
Increasing concern about age-related diseases, particularly musculoskeletal injuries and orthopedic conditions, highlights the need for strategies such as tissue engineering to address them. Surface modification has been developed to create pro-healing interfaces, personalize scaffolds and provide novel medicines. Polydopamine, a mussel-inspired adhesive polymer with highly reactive functional groups that adhere to nearly all substrates, has gained attention in surface modification strategies for biomaterials. Polydopamine was primarily developed to modify surfaces, but its effectiveness has opened up promising approaches for further applications in bioengineering as carriers and nanoparticles. This review focuses on the recent discoveries of the role of polydopamine as a surface coating material, with focus on the properties that make it suitable for tackling musculoskeletal disorders. We report the evolution of using it in research, and discuss papers involving the progress of this field. The current research on the role of polydopamine in bone, cartilage, muscle, nerve, and tendon regeneration is discussed, thus giving comprehensive overview about the function of polydopamine both in-vitro and in-vivo. Finally, the report concludes presenting the critical challenges that must be addressed for the clinical translation of this biomaterial while exploring future perspectives and research opportunities in this area.

Abstract
Selective labeling of distinct bacteria and biofilm is poised for the fundamental understanding of bacterial activities, interactions, and coupled phenomena occurring at the microscale. However, a simple and effective way to achieve selective bacterial labeling is still lacking. Herein, we report a fluorescence probe with core-shell nanostructure that has polydopamine (PDA) coating on the surface of fluorescent silicon quantum dots (SiQDs@PDA). The surface of the SiQDs@PDA can be functionalized by various molecules (2-mercaptoethylamine hydrochloride, PEG, d-alanine, glucose amide) through different strategies (Michael addition, π-π interaction, and ion–ion interaction). Importantly, the d-alanine (D-Ala)- and gluconamide (Glc)-functionalized SiQDs@PDA fluorescence probes are capable of selectively labeling gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as their biofilms. The excellent performance in universal functionalization and selective labeling and imaging of bacteria and their biofilms demonstrate that SiQDs@PDA are a promising fluorescence tool in microbe research.

Abstract
Nanofiber-reinforced hydrogels have recently gained attention in biomedical engineering. Such three-dimensional scaffolds show the mechanical strength and toughness of fibers while benefiting from the cooling and absorbing properties of hydrogels as well as a large pore size, potentially aiding cell migration. While many of such systems are prepared by complicated processes where fibers are produced separately to later be embedded in a hydrogel, we here provide proof of concept for a one-step solution. In more detail, we produced core-shell nanofibers from the natural proteins zein and gelatin by coaxial electrospinning. Upon hydration, the nanofibers were capable of directly transforming into a nanofiber-reinforced hydrogel, where the nanofibrous structure was retained by the zein core, while the gelatin-based shell turned into a hydrogel matrix. Our nanofiber-hydrogel composite showed swelling to ~800% of its original volume and water uptake of up to ~2500% in weight. The physical integrity of the nanofiber-reinforced hydrogel was found to be significantly improved in comparison to a hydrogel system without nanofibers. Additionally, tetracycline hydrochloride was incorporated into the fibers as an antimicrobial agent, and antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was confirmed.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to prepare ciprofloxacin (CIP) or levofloxacin (LEVO)-incorporated and polydopamine (PDA)-coated nephrite composites for application in drug-eluting contact lenses. PDA was coated onto the surface of nephrite to improve antibacterial activity and to payload antibiotics. CIP or LEVO was incorporated into the PDA layer on the surface of nephrite. Furthermore, CIP-incorporated/PDA-coated nephrite composites were embedded into the contact lenses. PDA-coated nephrite composites showed dull and smooth surfaces according to the dopamine concentration while nephrite itself has sharp surface morphology. CIP- or LEVO-loaded/PDA-coated nephrite composites also have dull and smooth surface properties. Nano and/or sub-micron clusters were observed in field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) observation, indicating that PDA nanoparticles were accumulated and coated onto the surface of nephrite. Furthermore, CIP- or LEVO-incorporated/PDA-coated nephrite composites showed the sustained release of CIP or LEVO in vitro and these properties contributed to the enhanced antibacterial activity of composites compared to nephrite or PDA-coated nephrite composites. CIP-incorporated/PDA-coated nephrite composites were embedded in the contact lenses and then, in an antibacterial study, they showed higher bactericidal effect against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) compared to nephrite itself or PDA-coated nephrite composites. We suggest that CIP- or LEVO-loaded/PDA-coated nephrite composite-embedded contact lenses are a promising candidate for therapeutic application.

Abstract
Exploring new avenues for clinical management of chronic wounds holds the key to eliminating socioeconomic burdens and health-related concerns associated with this silent killer. Engineered biomaterials offer great promise for repair and regeneration of chronic wounds because of their ability to deliver therapeutics, protect the wound environment, and support the skin matrices to facilitate tissue growth. This mini review presents recent advances in biomaterial functionalities for enhancing wound healing and demonstrates a move from sub-optimal methods to multi-functionalized treatment approaches. In this context, we discuss the recently reported biomaterial characteristics such as bioadhesiveness, antimicrobial properties, proangiogenic attributes, and anti-inflammatory properties that promote chronic wound healing. In addition, we highlight the necessary mechanical and mass transport properties of such biomaterials. Then, we discuss the characteristic properties of various biomaterial templates, including hydrogels, cryogels, nanomaterials, and biomolecule-functionalized materials. These biomaterials can be microfabricated into various structures, including smart patches, microneedles, electrospun scaffolds, and 3D-bioprinted structures, to advance the field of biomaterial scaffolds for effective wound healing. Finally, we provide an outlook on the future while emphasizing the need for their detailed functional behaviour and inflammatory response studies in a complex in vivo environment for superior clinical outcomes and reduced regulatory hurdles.

Abstract
Incorporating polydopamine has become a viable method for membrane modification due to its universality and versatility. Fillers in their different categories have been confirmed as effective elements to improve the properties of membranes such as hydrophilicity, permeability, mechanical strength, and fouling resistance. Thus, this paper mainly highlights the recent studies that have been carried out using polydopamine and nanomaterial fillers simultaneously in modifying the performance of different membranes such as ultrafiltration, microfiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, and forward osmosis membranes according to the various modification methods. Graphene oxide nanoparticles have recently attracted a lot of attention among different nanoparticles used with polydopamine, due to their impressive characteristics impacts on enhancing membrane hydrophilicity, mechanical strength, and fouling resistance. Thus, the incorporation techniques of graphene oxide nanoparticles and polydopamine for enhancing membranes have been highlighted in this work. Moreover, different studies carried out on using polydopamine as a nanofiller for optimizing membrane performance have been discussed. Finally, perspectives, and possible paths of further research on mussel-inspired polydopamine and nanoparticles co-incorporation are stated according to the progress made in this field. It is anticipated that this review would provide benefits for the scientific community in designing a new generation of polymeric membranes for the treatment of different feed water and wastewater based on adhesive mussel inspired polydopamine polymer and nanomaterials combinations.

Abstract
Organically-coated nanomaterials are intensively studied and find numerous applications in a wide range of areas from optics to biomedicine. One of the recent trends in material science is the application of bio-mimetic polydopamine coatings that can be produced on a variety of substrates in a cost-efficient way under mild conditions. Such coatings not only modify the biocompatibility of the material but also add functional amino groups to the surface that can be further modified by classic conjugation techniques. Here we show an alternative strategy for substrates modification using dopamine conjugates instead of native dopamine. Compared to the classic scheme, the proposed strategy allows separation of the “organic” and “colloidal” stages, and simplified identification and purification steps. Modification with pre-modified dopamine made it possible to achieve high loading capacities with active components up to 10.5% wt. A series of organo-inorganic hybrids were synthesized and their bioactivity was analyzed.

Abstract
In this study, highly antimicrobial CuNPs were integrated into a hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) coating and immobilized on a RO TFC membrane via a mild and facile reduction approach to form a stable and durable dual-functional layer. Based on the XDLVO analysis, the introduction of PDA increased the membrane-foulant total interaction energy (ΔGmwf) to 14.13 mJ/m2, resulting in improved anti-adhesive properties as demonstrated by a 37% decrease in BSA adsorption for the modified membranes. The well dispersed and high loadings of CuNPs induced by PDA conferred strong bacterial toxicity to the modified membranes, reducing the viability of E. coli by 76%. Furthermore, the presence of catechol groups on PDA favors the formation of covalent bond with CuNPs, thus prolonging the durability of the copper-based anti-biofouling membranes. The combination of PDA coating and CuNPs functionalization imparts the membrane with simultaneous anti-adhesive and anti-microbial properties, leading to a substantial reduction in biofouling propensity in dynamic biofouling experiments. Specifically, the flux decline due to biofouling observed for the modified membranes significantly decreased from 65% to 39%, and biofilm thickness and TOC biomass were 58%, and 55% lower, respectively. This study provides a facile and versatile strategy to construct high performance RO membranes with excellent anti-biofouling functionality.

Abstract
Bacterial infections and limited surface lubrication are the two key challenges for bioimplants in dynamic contact with tissues. However, the simultaneous lubricating and antibacterial properties of the bioimplants have rarely been investigated. In this work, we successfully developed a multifunctional coating with simultaneous antibacterial and lubricating properties for surface functionalization of bioimplant materials. The multifunctional coating was fabricated on a polyurethane (PU) substrate via polydopamine (PDA)-assisted multicomponent codeposition, containing polyethyleneimine (PEI) and trace amounts of copper (Cu) as synergistic antibacterial components and zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (PMPC) as the lubricating component. The obtained PDA(Cu)/PEI/PMPC coating showed excellent antibacterial activity (antibacterial efficiency: ∼99%) to both Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus compared with bare PU. The excellent antibacterial properties were attributed to the combined effect of anti-adhesion capability of hydrophilic PMPC and PEI and bactericidal activity of Cu in the coating. Meanwhile, the coefficient of friction of the coating was significantly decreased by ∼52% compared with bare PU owing to the high hydration feature of PMPC, suggesting the superior lubricating property. Furthermore, the PDA(Cu)/PEI/PMPC coating was highly biocompatible toward human umbilical vein endothelial cells demonstrated by in vitro cytotoxicity tests. This study not only contributes to the chemistry of PDA-assisted multicomponent codeposition but also provides a facile and practical way for rational design of multifunctional coatings for medical devices.

Abstract
Step-scheme heterojunctions formed between two firmly bound photocatalysts facilitate charge separation due to interfacial charge transfer, which is usually illustrated by the gain or loss of electrons in the constituent photocatalysts characterized by in situ irradiated X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. This technique provides a steady-state view of charge distribution but overlooks the transient and complex dynamics of charge transfer, trapping, and recombination. To provide a molecular-level and dynamic view of these processes, we investigated the behaviors of photogenerated charge carriers within an inorganic/organic TiO2/polydopamine S-scheme heterojunction using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. We found the interfacial charge transfer within the step-scheme heterojunction occurred at a smaller shorter time scale than recombination, leading to efficient charge separation. Moreover, the charge-discharge property of polydopamine induces electron backflow, which should be avoided in practical photocatalytic applications. The composite showed higher photocatalytic H2O2-production activities due to faster H2O2 formation and suppressed H2O2 decomposition.

Abstract
Due to excellent mechanical properties and similar elastic modulus compared with human cortical bone, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has become one of the most promising orthopedic implant materials. However, implant-associated infections (IAIs) remain a challenging issue since PEEK is bio-inert. In order to fabricate an antibacterial bio-functional surface, modifications of PEEK had been widely investigated. This review summarizes the modification strategies to biofunctionalize PEEK for antibacterial. We will begin with reviewing different approaches, such as surface-coating modifications and controlled release of antimicrobials. Furthermore, blending modifications and 3D printing technology were discussed. Finally, we compare the effects among different approaches. We aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of the antibacterial modification and optimize the design of the PEEK orthopedic implant.

Abstract
Advances in nanotechnology have opened up new horizons in nanomedicine through the synthesis of new composite nanomaterials able to tackle the growing drug resistance in bacterial strains. Among these, nanosilver antimicrobials sow promise for use in the treatment of bacterial infections. The use of polydopamine (PDA) as a biocompatible carrier for nanosilver is appealing; however, the synthesis and functionalization steps used to obtain Ag-PDA nanoparticles (NPs) are complex and require time-consuming cleanup processes. Post-synthesis treatment can also hinder the stability and applicability of the material, and dry, offline characterization is time-consuming and unrepresentative of real conditions. The optimization of Ag-PDA preparation and purification together with well-defined characterization are fundamental goals for the safe development of these new nanomaterials. In this paper, we show the use of field-flow fractionation with multi-angle light scattering and spectrophotometric detection to improve the synthesis and quality control of the production of Ag-PDA NPs. An ad hoc method was able to monitor particle growth in a TLC-like fashion; characterize the species obtained; and provide purified, isolated Ag-PDA nanoparticles, which proved to be biologically active as antibacterial agents, while achieving a short analysis time and being based on the use of green, cost-effective carriers such as water.

Abstract
Despite the highly potent biological characteristics, the poor water-solubility of caffeic acid (CA) limits its applications in various domains. Here, we present a facile approach, wherein CA has been treated with dopamine hydrochloride (Dopa.HCl) to obtain a water-soluble acid-base complex, which does not possess any covalent bond between the individual components and thus retains their nativity. Simple mixing of CA and Dopa.HCl did not provide water solubility to CA, but the complex became readily soluble in water when the mineral acid was scavenged using sodium bicarbonate. The obtained CA-Dopa complex had been characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 2D 1H-1H NOESY NMR, XPS, and DSC techniques. The complex was found to exhibit excellent bactericidal, antibiofilm, antioxidant, and anticancer properties in the physiologically relevant pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. The results have revealed the high potential of the simple acid-base complex of CA in diverse domains.

Abstract
Coating the surfaces of implantable materials with various active principles to ensure inhibition of microbial adhesion, is a solution to reduce infections associated with dental implant. The aim of the study was to optimize the polydopamine films coating on the Ti-6Al-6V alloy surface in order to obtain a maximum of antimicrobial/antibiofilm efficacy and reduced cytotoxicity. Surface characterization was performed by evaluating the morphology (SEM, AFM) and structures (Solid-state 13C NMR and EPR). Antimicrobial activity was assessed by logarithmic reduction of CFU/mL, and the antibiofilm activity by reducing the adhesion of Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans strains. The release of NO was observed especially for C. albicans strain, which confirms the results obtained for microbial adhesion. Among the PDA coatings, for 0.45:0.88 (KMnO4:dopamine) molar ratio the optimal compromise was obtained in terms of antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity, while the 0.1:1.5 ratio (KMnO4:dopamine) led to higher NO release and implicitly the reduction of the adhesion capacities only for C. albicans, being slightly cytotoxic but with moderate release of LDH. The proposed materials can be used to reduce the adhesion of yeast to the implantable material and thus inhibit the formation of microbial biofilms.

Abstract
Mussel-inspired chemistry was usefully exploited here with the aim of developing a high-efficiency, environmentally friendly material for water remediation. A micro-structured material based on polydopamine (PDA) was obtained by using liposomes as templating agents and was used for the first time as an adsorbent material for the removal of methylene blue (MB) dye from aqueous solutions. Phospholipid liposomes were made by extrusion and coated with PDA by self-polymerization of dopamine under simple and mild conditions. The obtained Liposome@PDA microspheres were characterized by DLS and Zeta potential analysis, TEM microscopy, and FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of pH, temperature, MB concentration, amount of Liposome@PDA, and contact time on the adsorption process were investigated. Results showed that the highest adsorption capacity was obtained in weakly alkaline conditions (pH = 8.0) and that it could reach up to 395.4 mg g−1 at 298 K. In addition, adsorption kinetics showed that the adsorption behavior fits a pseudo-second-order kinetic model well. The equilibrium adsorption data, instead, were well described by Langmuir isotherm. Thermodynamic analysis demonstrated that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous (ΔG0 = −12.55 kJ mol−1, ΔH0 = 13.37 kJ mol−1) in the investigated experimental conditions. Finally, the applicability of Liposome@PDA microspheres to model wastewater and the excellent reusability after regeneration by removing MB were demonstrated.

Abstract
A thioketal-linked dimer of 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine was prepared which underwent self-polymerisation in the presence of doxorubicin (Dox) in an ethanol/water (1 : 4, v/v) mixture with ammonia. The resulting Dox-encapsulated polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles were further conjugated with molecules of a zinc(II) phthalocyanine (Pc)-based photosensitiser and a peptide containing the heptapeptide QRHKPRE sequence (labelled as QRH) that can target the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressed in cancer cells. Upon internalisation into these cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, these nanoparticles labelled as PDA-Dox-Pc-QRH were disassembled gradually via cleavage of the thioketal linkages by the intrinsic intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). The stacked Pc molecules were then disaggregated, resulting in activation of their photosensitising property upon irradiation. The ROS generated by the activated Pc promoted further degradation of the nanoparticles and release of Dox, thereby enhancing cell death by synergistic chemo and photodynamic therapy. Systemic injection of PDA-Dox-Pc-QRH into EGFR-overexpressed tumour-bearing nude mice led to targeted delivery to the tumour, and subsequent light irradiation caused complete tumour ablation without inducing notable toxicity.

Abstract
Substrates that are simultaneously thin, strong, optically transparent, and biocompatible have diverse applications in a range of fundamental and applied fields. While nature-derived materials offer advantages of sustainability and inherent biocompatibility compared to synthetic polymers, their brittleness and swelling, as well as surface charge and chemical functionalization non-conducive to cell growth, can hinder widespread application. In this work, we discuss the fabrication and systematic characterization of polydopamine-coated chitosan thin films. Chitosan is a widely used, partially deacetylated form of chitin, derived from crustaceans and arthropods. Polydopamine (PDA) is derived from chemistries mimicking mussel foot adhesive proteins. A facile dip-coating process of thin and flexible, uncrosslinked chitosan films in aqueous dopamine solutions leads to dramatic changes in physical and chemical properties. We show how the PDA forms time-dependent assemblies on the film surfaces, affecting surface roughness, hydrophilicity, and mechanical strength. Coating the surface for even a few seconds provides functional changes to the films. Our results shows that the optimal coating time is on the order of few hours, whereby the films are optically transparent with excellent extensibility and Young’s modulus, while further coating reduces the benefits of this surface coating. These materials are biocompatible, serving as substrates for cell adhesion and growth while maintaining good viability. Overall, these findings give insight to the effects of PDA assembly on surfaces, and illustrate how a simple, quick, and robust bioinspired coating process can prime substrates for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, biosensing, and wound healing.

Abstract
Polydopamine (PDA) is a synthetic eumelanin polymer which is, to date, mostly obtained by dip coating processes. In this contribution, we evaluate the physical and electrochemical properties of electrochemically deposited PDA films obtained by cyclic voltammetry or pulsed deposition. The obtained PDA thin films are investigated with respect to their electrochemical properties, i.e., electron transfer (ET) kinetics and charge transfer resistance using scanning electrochemical microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and their nanomechanical properties, i.e., Young’s modulus and adhesion forces at varying experimental conditions, such as applied potential or pH value of the medium using atomic force microscopy. In particular, the ET behavior at different pH values has not to date been investigated in detail for electrodeposited PDA thin films, which is of particular interest for a multitude of applications. Adhesion forces strongly depend on applied potential and surrounding pH value. Moreover, force spectroscopic measurements reveal a significantly higher percentage of polymeric character compared to films obtained by dip coating. Additionally, distinct differences between the two depositions methods are observed, which indicate that the pulse deposition process leads to denser, more cross-linked films.

Abstract
The use of α-bromoisobutyryl-functionalized polydopamine (PDA), derived from an in situ mixture with dopamine (DA) and α-bromoisobutyryl bromide, enables surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) of a broad range of methacrylate monomers for surface functionalization. Although the putative intermediate 2-bromo-N-(3,4-dihydroxyphenethyl)-2-methylpropanamide 1 has been proposed to account for the SI-ATRP activity of α-bromoisobutyryl-functionalized PDA, there has not been a systematic investigation on the efficacy of other catechol-derived 2-bromoisobutyryl derivatives for SI-ATRP. In this work, a number of catechol-derived ATRP initiators containing the 2-bromoisobutyryl moiety were designed and synthesized, in an effort to investigate the effect of changes in structure on initiator immobilization, and subsequent ATRP performance. The change in the length of the linker unit bearing the 2-bromoisobutyryl moiety, the introduction of a free amine group, or the replacement of the amide with an ester were found to have profound effects on the ability of the molecule to deposit ATRP-initiator-modified PDA coatings, as well as the subsequent SI-ATRP performance. Among the ATRP initiators synthesized, 5-(2-aminoethyl)-2,3-dihydroxyphenethyl 2-bromo-2-methylpropanoate hydrobromide 4·HBr was most efficiently incorporated into ATRP-initiator-modified PDA coatings and also the best at effecting SI-ATRP with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate; the high performance of this initiator is likely due to the presence of a free amine and an appropriately long methylene linker unit to the 2-bromoisobutyryl moiety. This methodology was found to be suitable for the functionalization of a range of organic and inorganic surfaces, for the fabrication of high-value surface-grafted polymer brush coatings for various applications.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) could be employed in the combat against COVID-19, yet are associated with toxicities. In this study, biogenic and biocompatible AgNPs using the agro-waste, non-edible Hibiscus sabdariffa stem were synthesized. Under optimized reaction conditions, synthesized green AgNPs were crystalline, face cubic centered, spherical with a diameter of around 17 nm and a surface charge of -20 mV. Their murine lethal dose 50 (LD50) was 4 folds higher than the chemical AgNPs. Furthermore, they were more murine hepato- and nephro-tolerated than chemical counterparts due to activation of Nrf-2 and HO-1 pathway. They exerted an apoptotic anti-ovarian cancer activity with IC50 value 6 times more than the normal cell line. Being functionalized with polydopamine and conjugated to either moxifloxacin or gatifloxacin, the conjugates exerted an augmented antibiofilm activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii biofilms that was significantly higher than antibiotic alone or functionalized AgNPs suggesting a synergistic activity. In conclusion, this study introduced a facile one-pot synthesis of biogenic and biocompatible AgNPs with preferential anti-cancer activity and could be utilized as antibiotic delivery system for a successful eradication of Gram-negative biofilms.
