Abstract
In this study, we developed a tissue-adhesive and long-term antibacterial hydrogel consisting of protamine (PRTM) grafted carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) (PCMC), catechol groups modified CMC (DCMC), and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA), named DCMC-OHA-PCMC. According to the antibacterial experiments, the PCMC-treated groups showed obvious and long-lasting inhibition zones against E. coli (and S. aureus), and the corresponding diameters varied from 10.1 mm (and 15.3 mm) on day 1 to 9.8 mm (and 15.3 mm) on day 7. The DCMC-OHA-PCMC hydrogel treated groups also exhibited durable antibacterial ability against E. coli (and S. aureus), and the antibacterial rates changed from 99.3 ± 0.21 % (and 99.6 ± 0.36 %) on day 1 to 76.2 ± 1.74 % (and 84.2 ± 1.11 %) on day 5. Apart from good mechanical and tissue adhesion properties, the hydrogel had excellent hemostatic ability mainly because of the grafted positive-charged PRTM. As the animal assay results showed, the hydrogel was conducive to promoting the deposition of new collagen (0.84 ± 0.03), the regeneration of epidermis (98.91 ± 6.99 μm) and wound closure in the process of wound repairing. In conclusion, the presented outcomes underline the prospective potential of the multifunctional CMC-based hydrogel for applications in wound dressings.

Abstract
The management of bleeding is an important aspect of endoscopic surgery to avoid excessive blood loss and minimize pain. In clinical settings, sprayable hemostatic particles are used for their easy delivery, adaptability to irregular shapes, and rapid hydration. However, conventional hemostatic particles present challenges associated with tissue adhesion. In a previous study, we reported tissue adhesive microparticles (C10-sa-MPs) derived from Alaska pollock gelatin modified with decyl groups (C10-sa-ApGltn) using secondary amines as linkages. The C10-sa-MPs adhere to soft tissues through a hydration mechanism. However, their application as a hemostatic agent was limited by their long hydration times, attributed to their high hydrophobicity. In this study, we present a new type microparticle, C10-am-MPs, synthesized by incorporating decanoyl group modifications into ApGltn (C10-am-ApGltn), using amide bonds as linkages. C10-am-MPs exhibited enhanced hydration characteristics compared to C10-sa-MPs, attributed to superior water absorption facilitated by amide bonds rather than secondary amines. Furthermore, C10-am-MPs demonstrated comparable tissue adhesion properties and underwater adhesion stability to C10-sa-MPs. Notably, C10-am-MPs exhibited accelerated blood coagulation in vitro compared to C10-sa-MPs. The application of C10-am-MPs in an in vivo rat liver hemorrhage model resulted in a hemostatic effect comparable to a commercially available hemostatic particle. These findings highlight the potential utility of C10-am-MPs as an effective hemostatic agent for endoscopic procedures and surgical interventions.

Abstract
Peritoneal adhesion is a common problem after abdominal surgery and can lead to various medical problems. In response to the lack of in situ retention and pro-wound healing properties of existing anti-adhesion barriers, this work reports an injectable adhesive-antifouling bifunctional hydrogel (AAB-hydrogel). This AAB-hydrogel can be constructed by "two-step" injection. The tissue adhesive hydrogel based on gallic acid-modified chitosan and aldehyde-modified dextran is prepared as the bottom hydrogel (B-hydrogel) by Schiff base reaction. The aldehyde-modified zwitterionic dextran/carboxymethyl chitosan-based hydrogel is formed on the B-hydrogel surface as the antifouling top hydrogel (T-hydrogel). The AAB-hydrogel exhibits good bilayer binding and asymmetric properties, including tissue adhesive, antifouling, and antimicrobial properties. To evaluate the anti-adhesion effect in vivo, the prepared hydrogels are injected onto the wound surface of a mouse abdominal wall abrasion-cecum defect model. Results suggest that the AAB-hydrogel has antioxidant capacity and can reduce the postoperative inflammatory response by modulating the macrophage phenotype. Moreover, the AAB-hydrogel could effectively inhibit the formation of postoperative adhesions by reducing protein deposition, and resisting fibroblast adhesions and bacteria attacking. Therefore, AAB-hydrogel is a promising candidate for the prevention of postoperative peritoneal adhesions.

Abstract
Underwater adhesives with injectable, organic solvent-free, strong, fast adhesion, and hemostatic properties have become an urgent need in biomedical field. Herein, a novel polyurethane underwater adhesive (PUWA) inspired by mussels is developed utilizing the rapid post-cure reaction of isocyanate esterification without organic solvents. The PUWA is created through the injectable two component curing process of component A (biocompatible polyurethane prepolymer) and component B (dopamine modified lysine derivatives: chain extender-LDA and crosslinker-L3DA). The two-component adhesive cures quickly and firmly underwater, with an impressive bonding strength of 40 kPa on pork skin and excellent burst pressure of 394 mmHg. Moreover, the PUWA exhibits robust adhesion strength in hostile environments with acid, alkali and saline solutions. Combined with excellent biocompatibility and hemostatic performance, the PUWA demonstrates effectively sealing wounds and promoting healing. With the ability to bond diverse substrates rapidly and strongly, the PUWA holds significant potential for application in both biomedical and industrial fields.

Abstract
Accidental events or surgical procedures usually lead to tissue injury. Fibrin sealants have proven to optimize the healing process but have some drawbacks due to their allogeneic nature. Autologous fibrin sealants present several advantages. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of a new autologous fibrin sealant based on Endoret®PRGF® technology (E-sealant). One of the most widely used commercial fibrin sealants (Tisseel®) was included as comparative Control. E-sealant´s hematological and biological properties were characterized. The coagulation kinetics and the microstructure were compared. Their rheological profile and biomechanical behavior were also recorded. Finally, the swelling/shrinkage capacity and the enzymatic degradation of adhesives were determined. E-sealant presented a moderate platelet concentration and physiological levels of fibrinogen and thrombin. It clotted 30 s after activation. The microstructure of E-sealant showed a homogeneous fibrillar scaffold with numerous and scattered platelet aggregates. In contrast, Control presented absence of blood cells and amorphous protein deposits. Although in different order of magnitude, both adhesives had similar rheological profiles and viscoelasticity. Control showed a higher hardness but both adhesives presented a pseudoplastic hydrogel nature with a shear thinning behavior. Regarding their adhesiveness, E-sealant presented a higher tensile strength before cohesive failure but their elastic stretching capacity and maximum elongation was similar. While E-sealant presented a significant shrinkage process, Control showed a slight swelling over time. In addition, E-sealant presented a high enzymatic resorption rate, while Control showed to withstand the biodegradation process in a significant way. E-sealant presents optimal biochemical and biomechanical properties suitable for its use as a fibrin sealant with regenerative purposes.

Abstract
Wet-tissue adhesives have long been attractive materials for realizing complicated biomedical functions. However, the hydration film on wet tissues can generate a boundary, forming hydrogen bonds with the adhesives that weaken adhesive strength. Introducing black phosphorus (BP) is believed to enhance the water absorption capacity of tape-type adhesives and effectively eliminate hydration layers between the tissue and adhesive. This study reports a composite patch integrated with BP nanosheets (CPB) for wet-tissue adhesion. The patch's improved water absorption and mechanical properties ensure its immediate and robust adhesion to wet tissues. Various bioapplications of CPB are demonstrated, such as rapid hemostasis (within ~1-2 seconds), monitoring of physical-activity and prevention of tumour-recurrence, all validated via in vivo studies. Given the good practicability, histocompatibility and biodegradability of CPB, the proposed patches hold significant promise for a wide range of biomedical applications.

Abstract
Benzaldehyde-conjugated chitosan (CH-CBA) was synthesized by a coupling reaction between chitosan (CH) and carboxybenzaldehyde (CBA). The pH-sensitive self-cross-linking can be achieved through the Schiff base reaction. The degree of substitution (DS) of CH-CBA was controlled at 1.4-12.7% by optimizing the pH and reagent stoichiometry. The dynamic Schiff base linkages conferred strong shear-thinning and self-healing properties to the hydrogels. The viscosity of the 2 wt/v % CH-CBA hydrogel decreased from 5.3 × 107 mPa·s at a shear rate of 10-2 s-1 to 2.0 × 103 mPa·s at 102 s-1 at pH 7.4. The CH-CBA hydrogel exhibited excellent biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the hydrogel adhered strongly to porcine small intestine, colon, and cecum samples, comparable to commercial fibrin glue, and exhibited effective in vivo tissue sealing in a mouse cecal ligation and puncture model, highlighting its potential as a biomaterial for application in tissue adhesives, tissue engineering scaffolds, etc.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives are promising alternatives to sutures and staples for joining tissues, sealing defects, and immobilizing devices. However, existing adhesives mostly take the forms of glues or hydrogels, which offer limited versatility. We report a direct-ink-write 3D printable tissue adhesive which can be used to fabricate bioadhesive patches and devices with programmable architectures, unlocking new potential for application-specific designs. The adhesive is conformable and stretchable, achieves robust adhesion with wet tissues within seconds, and exhibits favorable biocompatibility. In vivo rat trachea and colon defect models demonstrate the fluid-tight tissue sealing capability of the printed patches, which maintained adhesion over 4 weeks. Moreover, incorporation of a blood-repelling hydrophobic matrix enables the printed patches to seal actively bleeding tissues. Beyond wound closure, the 3D printable adhesive has broad applicability across various tissue-interfacing devices, highlighted through representative proof-of-concept designs. Together, this platform offers a promising strategy toward developing advanced tissue adhesive technologies.

Abstract
Bone adhesive is a promising candidate to revolutionize the clinical treatment of bone repairs. However, several drawbacks have limited its further clinical application, such as unreliable wet adhesive performance leading to fixation failure and poor biodegradability inhibiting bone tissue growth. By incorporating catechol groups and disulfide bonds into polyurethane (PU) molecules, an injectable and porous PU adhesive is developed with both superior wet adhesion and biodegradability to facilitate the reduction and fixation of comminuted fractures and the subsequent regeneration of bone tissue. The bone adhesive can be cured within a reasonable time acceptable to a surgeon, and then the wet bone adhesive strength is near 1.30 MPa in 1 h. Finally, the wet adhesive strength to the cortical bone will achieve about 1.70 MPa, which is also five times more than nonresorbable poly(methyl methacrylate) bone cement. Besides, the cell culture experiments also indicate that the adhesives show excellent biocompatibility and osteogenic ability in vitro. Especially, it can degrade in vivo gradually and promote fracture healing in the rabbit iliac fracture model. These results demonstrate that this ingenious bone adhesive exhibits great potential in the treatment of comminuted fractures, providing fresh insights into the development of clinically applicable bone adhesives.

Abstract
Multifunctional bio-adhesives with tunable mechanical properties are obtained by controlling the orientation of anisotropic particles in a blend of fast-curing hydrogel with an imposed capillary flow. The suspensions' microstructural evolution was monitored by the small-angle light scattering (SALS) method during flow up to the critical Péclet number (Pe≈1) necessary for particle orientation and hydrogel crosslinking. The multifunctional bio-adhesives were obtained by combining flow and UV light exposure for rapid photo-curing of PEGDA medium and freezing titania rods' ordered microstructures. Blending the low- and high-molecular weight of PEGDA polymer improved the mechanical properties of the final hydrogel. All the hydrogel samples were non-cytotoxic up to 72 h after cell culturing. The system shows rapid blood hemostasis and promotes adhesive and cohesive strength matching targeted tissue properties with an applicating methodology compatible with surgical conditions. The developed SALS approach to optimize nanoparticles' microstructures in bio-adhesive applies to virtually any optically transparent nanocomposite and any type of anisotropic nanoparticles. As such, this method enables rational design of bio-adhesives with enhanced anisotropic mechanical properties which can be tailored to potentially any type of tissue.

Abstract
Incomplete removal of early-stage gastrointestinal cancers by endoscopic treatments often leads to recurrence induced by residual cancer cells. To completely remove or kill cancer tissues and cells and prevent recurrence, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hyperthermia using biomaterials with drugs or nanomaterials are usually administered following endoscopic treatments. However, there are few biomaterials that can be applied using endoscopic devices to locally kill cancer tissues and cells. We previously reported that decyl group-modified Alaska pollock gelatin-based microparticles (denoted C10MPs) can adhere to gastrointestinal tissues under wet conditions through the formation of a colloidal gel driven by hydrophobic interactions. In this study, we combined C10MPs with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) to develop a sprayable heat-generating nanomaterial (denoted SP/C10MP) for local hyperthermia of gastrointestinal cancers. The rheological property, tissue adhesion strength, burst strength, and underwater stability of SP/C10MP were improved through decyl group modification and SPION addition. Moreover, SP/C10MP that adhered to gastrointestinal tissues formed a colloidal gel, which locally generated heat in response to an alternating magnetic field. SP/C10MP successfully killed cancer tissues and cells in colon cancer-bearing mouse models in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, SP/C10MP has the potential to locally kill residual cancer tissues and cells after endoscopic treatments.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives have attracted intense and increasing interest due to their multiple biomedical applications. Despite the rapid development of adhesive hydrogels, huge challenges remain for materials that can ensure strong adhesion and seal hemostasis in aqueous and blood environments. To address this issue, we have developed an innovative design of PAA-based coacervate hydrogel with strong wet adhesion capability through a simple mixture of PAA copolymers with oxidized-carboxymethylcellulose (OCMC), and tannic acid (TA) as the main components, and structurally enhanced with natural clays (Laponite XLG). The absorbed TA provides solid adhesion to dry and wet substrates via multiple interactions, which endows the XLG-enhanced coacervate with the desired underwater adhesive strength. More importantly, the dielectric constant is introduced to evaluate the polarity of the tested samples, which may be used as guidance for the design of mussel-inspired adhesives with even better underwater adhesive properties. In vivo hemorrhage experiments further confirmed that the hydrogel adhesive dramatically shortened the hemostatic time to tens of seconds. Overall, the persistent adhesion and acceptable cytocompatibility of the hydrogel nanocomposite make it a promising alternative suture-free approach for rapid hemostasis at different length scales and is expected to be extended to clinical application for other organ injuries.

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
Universal adhesion of hydrogels to diverse materials is essential to their extensive applications. Unfortunately, tough adhesion of wet surfaces remains an urgent challenge so far, requiring robust cohesion strength for effective stress dissipation. In this work, a dual-network hydrogel polyethylenimine-poly(acrylic acid)/alginate (PEI-PAA/Alg) with excellent mechanical strength is realized via PEI-PAA complex and calcium alginate coordination for universal adhesion by the synergistic effort of topological entanglement and catechol chemistry. The dual networks of PEI-PAA/Alg provide mechanically reinforced cohesion strength, which is sufficient for energy dissipation during adhesion with universal materials. After the integration of mussel-inspired dopamine into PAA or Alg, the adhesive demonstrates further improved adhesion performance with a solid adherend and capability to bond cancellous bones. Notably, the dopamine-modified adhesive exhibits better instant adhesion and reversibility with wet surfaces compared with commercial fibrin. Adhesion interfaces are investigated by SEM and micro-FTIR to verify the effectiveness of strategies of topological entanglement. Furthermore, the adhesive also possesses great injectability, stability, tissue adhesion, and biocompatibility. In vivo wound healing and histological analysis indicate that the hydrogel can promote wound closure, epidermis regeneration, and tissue refunctionalization, implying its potential application for bioadhesive and wound dressing.

Abstract
Bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties enable easier and safer treatment of wounds as compared to the traditional methods such as suturing and stapling. Composed of natural or synthetic polymers, these bioadhesives seal wounds and facilitate healing while preventing infections through the activity of locally released antimicrobial drugs, nanocomponents, or inherently antimicrobial polers. Although many different materials and strategies are employed to develop antimicrobial bioadhesives, the design of these biomaterials necessitates a prudent approach as achieving all the required properties including optimal adhesive and cohesive properties, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity can be challenging. Designing antimicrobial bioadhesives with tunable physical, chemical, and biological properties will shed light on the path for future advancement of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties. In this review, the requirements and commonly used strategies for developing bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties are discussed. In particular, different methods for their synthesis and their experimental and clinical applications on a variety of organs are reviewed. Advances in the design of bioadhesives with antimicrobial properties will pave the way for a better management of wounds to increase positive clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Wet adhesion is critical in cases of wound closure, but it is usually deterred by the hydration layer on tissues. Inspired by dopamine-mediated underwater adhesion in mussel foot proteins, wet tissue adhesives containing catechol with 2-3 carbons side chains are reported mostly. To make wet adhesion of this type of adhesives much tougher, catechol derivatives with a long aliphatic side chain (≈10 atoms length) are synthesized. Then, a series of strong wet tissue adhesive hydrogels are prepared through photoinduced copolymerization of acrylic acid with synthetic monomers. The adhesive hydrogel has a high cohesion strength, that is, tensile strength and strain, and toughness of ≈1800 kPa, ≈540%, and ≈4100 kJ m-3 , respectively. Its interfacial toughness on wet and underwater porcine skin is respectively ≈1300 and ≈1100 J m-2 , and its adhesion strength to wet porcine skin is ≈153 kPa. These values are much higher than those of dopamine-based adhesives in the same conditions, demonstrating that the long aliphatic side chain on catechol can greatly improve the wet tissue-adhesion. Additionally, the tough interfacial adhesion can be broken on demand with 5 wt.% aqueous urea solution. This adhesive hydrogel is highly promising in safe wound closure.

Abstract
Bone retention is a usual clinical problem existing in a lot of maxillofacial surgeries involving bone reconstruction and bone transplantation, which puts forward the requirements for bone adhesives that are stable, durable, biosafe, and biodegradable in wet environment. To relieve the suffering of patients during maxillofacial surgery with one-step operation and satisfying repair, herein, we developed a double-cross-linked A-O hydrogel named by its two components: [(3-Aminopropyl) methacrylamide]-co-{[Tris(hydroxymethyl) methyl] acrylamide} and oxidated methylcellulose. With excellent bone adhesion ability, it can maintain long-lasting stable underwater bone adhesion for over 14 days, holding a maximum adhesion strength of 2.32 MPa. Schiff-base reaction and high-density hydrogen bonds endow the hydrogel with strong cohesion and adhesion performance as well as maneuverable properties such as easy formation and injectability. A-O hydrogel not only presents rarely reported long-lasting underwater adhesion of hard tissue but also owns inherent biocompatibility and biodegradation properties with a porous structure that facilitates the survival of bone graft. Compared to the commercial cyanoacrylate adhesive (3 M Vetbond Tissue Adhesive), the A-O hydrogel is confirmed to be safer, more stable, and more effective in calvarial in situ bone retention model and onlay bone retention model of rat, providing a practical solution for the everyday scenario of clinical bone retention.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives are interesting materials for wound treatment as they present numerous advantages compared to traditional methods of wound closure such as suturing and stapling. Nowadays, fibrin and cyanoacrylate glues are the most widespread commercial biomedical adhesives, but these systems display some drawbacks. In this study, degradable bioadhesives based on PEG-PLA star-shaped hydrogels are designed. Acrylate, methacrylate, and catechol functional copolymers are synthesized and used to design various bioadhesive hydrogels. Various types of mechanisms responsible for adhesion are investigated (physical entanglement and interlocking, physical interactions, chemical bonds), and the adhesive properties of the different systems are first studied on a gelatin model and compared to fibrin and cyanoacrylate references. Hydrogels based on acrylate and methacrylate reached adhesion strength close to cyanoacrylate (332 kPa) with values of 343 and 293 kPa, respectively, whereas catechol systems displayed higher values (11 and 19 kPa) compared to fibrin glue (7 kPa). Bioadhesives were then tested on mouse skin and human cadaveric colonic tissue. The results on mouse skin confirmed the potential of acrylate and methacrylate gels with adhesion strength close to commercial glues (15-30 kPa), whereas none of the systems led to high levels of adhesion on the colon. These data confirm that we designed a family of degradable bioadhesives with adhesion strength in the range of commercial glues. The low level of cytotoxicity of these materials is also demonstrated and confirm the potential of these hydrogels to be used as surgical adhesives.

Abstract
Adhesives with both robust adhesion and tunable degradability are clinically and ecologically vital, but their fabrication remains a formidable challenge. Here we propose an in situ radical ring-opening polymerization (rROP) strategy to design a backbone-degradable robust adhesive (BDRA) in physiological environment. The hydrophobic cyclic ketene acetal and hydrophilic acrylate monomer mixture of the BDRA precursor allows it to effectively wet and penetrate substrates, subsequently forming a deep covalently interpenetrating network with a degradable backbone via redox-initiated in situ rROP. The resulting BDRAs show good adhesion strength on diverse materials and tissues (e.g., wet bone >16 MPa, and porcine skin >150 kPa), higher than that of commercial cyanoacrylate superglue (~4 MPa and 56 kPa). Moreover, the BDRAs have enhanced tunable degradability, mechanical modulus (100 kPa-10 GPa) and setting time (seconds-hours), and have good biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo. This family of BDRAs expands the scope of medical adhesive applications and offers an easy and environmentally friendly approach for engineering.

Abstract
Clinical adhesives for suture-less wound closure remain the problem of poor biocompatibility, weak adhesive strength, and no endogenous antibacterial ability. Here, we designed a novel antibacterial hydrogel (CP-Lap hydrogel) consisting of chitosan and ε-polylysine after being modified with gallic acid (pyrogallol structure). The hydrogel was crosslinked by glutaraldehyde and Laponite via Schiff base and dynamic Laponite-pyrogallol interaction, free from heavy metal and oxidants. Given its dual crosslinking feature, the CP-Lap hydrogel exhibited adequate mechanical strength (150-240 kPa) and demonstrated swelling and degradation resistance. For a typical lap shear test with pigskin, the apparent adhesion strength of the CP-Lap hydrogel could be enhanced to ∼30 kPa benefiting from the O2 blocking effect provided by nanoconfinement space between Laponite. In addition, the hydrogel showed effective antibacterial properties and excellent biocompatibility. The results indicated that this hydrogel has great potential for wound-closing bioadhesives to avoid chronic infections and further harm.

Abstract
The wet environment of water or tissue in bleeding wounds poses significant challenges to the adhesion performance of existing hemostatic adhesives. An intelligent composite adhesive prepared by doping starch-based silicate micro-nanograded porous particles (MBC@CMS) with dopamine-hyperbranched polymers (HPD, 7800 Mw) synthesized by the Michael addition reaction could be triggered by water to form a glue (MBC@CMS-HPD). The results indicated that MBC@CMS-HPD could still have adhesion properties under running water washing and water immersion and could effectively seal the water outlet. The results of the glue-forming mechanism showed that MBC@CMS-HPD had better wettability than water, which could eliminate water molecules at the wet adhesive surface. When contacted with water, the agglomeration of the HPD hydrophobic chain increases the exposure of the catechol group, and the relative atomic mass of the N element on the surface increases from 2.8 to 4.8%. The adhesion of MBC@CMS-HPD was enhanced and stable. MBC@CMS-HPD showed significant hemostasis effects in five injury bleeding models of Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and New Zealand rabbits. Especially in the fatal femoral artery bleeding model of New Zealand rabbits, MBC@CMS-HPD reduced the amount of bleeding by 75% and shortened the bleeding time by 78% compared with the a-cyanoacrylate adhesives. The results of the coagulation mechanism showed that compared with HPD, MBC@CMS-HPD could activate both endogenous and exogenous coagulation pathways. Among them, after contact with blood, HPD formed a gel to close the blood outlet, and MBC@CMS entered the wound to activate the internal and external coagulation pathways. In addition, HPD and MBC@CMS had good histocompatibility and degradability, which has the potential to be applied to different wounds.

Abstract
Wet adhesion is highly demanded in noninvasive wound closure, tissue repair, and biomedical devices, but it is still a big challenge for developing biosafe and tough wet bioadhesives due to low or even nonadhesion in the wet state for conventional adhesives. Inspired by the wet-adhesion-contributing factors of mussel foot proteins, a water-responsive dry robust tissue adhesive PAGU tape is made with thickness of <0.5 mm through fast UV-initiated copolymerization of acrylic acid (AA), gelatin (Gel), and hexadecenyl-1,2-catechol (UH). The tape shows strong cohesive mechanical properties and strong interfacial adhesion bonds. Upon application onto wet tissue, the adhesive tape can conform to the tissue, quickly dry tissue surface through absorbing surface/interfacial water and then allows formation of interfacial bonding with a high interfacial toughness of ≈818 J m-2 . Furthermore, it can be readily detached by treating with aq. urea solution. A highly efficient avenue is provided here for producing conformable, tough, and easy detachable wet bioadhesive tapes.

Abstract
Adhesive hydrogels based on chemically modified photocrosslinkable polymers with specific physicochemical properties are frequently utilized for sealing wounds or incisions. These adhesive hydrogels offer tunable characteristics such as tailorable tissue adhesion, mechanical properties, swelling ratios, and enzymatic degradability. In this study, we developed and optimized a photocrosslinkable adhesive patch, GelPatch, with high burst pressure, minimal swelling, and specific mechanical properties for application as an ocular (sclera and subconjunctival) tissue adhesive. To achieve this, we formulated a series of hydrogel patches composed of different polymers with various levels of methacrylation, molecular weights, and hydrophobic/hydrophilic properties. A computerized multifactorial definitive screening design (DSD) analysis was performed to identify the most prominent components impacting critical response parameters such as adhesion, swelling ratio, elastic modulus, and second order interactions between applied components. These parameters were mathematically processed to generate a predictive model that identifies the linear and non-linear correlations between these factors. In conclusion, an optimized formulation of GelPatch was selected based on two modified polymers: gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) and glycidyl methacrylated hyaluronic acid (HAGM). The ex vivo results confirmed adhesion and retention of the optimized hydrogel subconjunctivally and on the sclera for up to 4 days. The developed formulation has potential to be used as an ocular sealant for quick repair of laceration type ocular injuries.

Abstract
This study has reviewed the naturally occurring bioadhesives produced in marine and freshwater aqueous environments and in the mucinous exudates of some terrestrial animals which have remarkable properties providing adhesion under difficult environmental conditions. These bioadhesives have inspired the development of medical bioadhesives with impressive properties that provide an effective alternative to suturing surgical wounds improving closure and healing of wounds in technically demanding tissues such as the heart, lung and soft tissues like the brain and intestinal mucosa. The Gecko has developed a dry-adhesive system of exceptional performance and has inspired the development of new generation re-usable tapes applicable to many medical procedures. The silk of spider webs has been equally inspiring to structural engineers and materials scientists and has revealed innovative properties which have led to new generation technologies in photonics, phononics and micro-electronics in the development of wearable biosensors. Man made products designed to emulate the performance of these natural bioadhesive molecules are improving wound closure and healing of problematic lesions such as diabetic foot ulcers which are notoriously painful and have also found application in many other areas in biomedicine. Armed with information on the mechanistic properties of these impressive biomolecules major advances are expected in biomedicine, micro-electronics, photonics, materials science, artificial intelligence and robotics technology.

Abstract
Developing a self-reporting bioadhesive patch that has strong adhesion to the wet tissues and meanwhile can avoid adhering to the adjacent tissues is a current research difficulty and challenge. In this paper, inspired by the wet adhesion of spider web, slippery surface of Nepenthes, and structural color phenomena of chameleons, a novel structural color medical patch with surface dual-properties of wet bioadhesion and slipperiness for internal tissue repair based on inverse opal scaffold is presented. The adhesive surface made by poly(acrylic acid)-polyethylene glycol-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester and gelatin hydrogel can attain tough adhesion to internal wet tissues by absorbing tissue interfacial water and the covalent cross-linking between the hydrogel and tissue. Besides, the slippery surface made by liquid paraffin infused inverse opal scaffold can avoid adhesion to the adjacent tissues. It is demonstrated that the designed patch can adhere tightly to the defect tissue and improve the tissue repair without adjacent adhesion when applied in a rat model with full-thickness perforation of the stomach wall. In addition, the responsive structural color can supply a color-sensing monitoring to evaluate the adhesive and repair process. These features impart the bioinspired patch with great scientific significance and broad clinical application prospects.

Abstract
Emerging sutureless wound-closure techniques have led to paradigm shifts in wound management. State-of-the-art biomaterials offer biocompatible and biodegradable platforms enabling high cohesion (toughness) and adhesion for rapid bleeding control as well as robust attachment of implantable devices. Tough bioadhesion stems from the synergistic contributions of cohesive and adhesive interactions. This Review provides a biomacromolecular design roadmap for the development of tough adhesive surgical sealants. We discuss a library of materials and methods to introduce toughness and adhesion to biomaterials. Intrinsically tough and elastic polymers are leveraged primarily by introducing strong but dynamic inter- and intramolecular interactions either through polymer chain design or using crosslink regulating additives. In addition, many efforts have been made to promote underwater adhesion via covalent/noncovalent bonds, or through micro/macro-interlock mechanisms at the tissue interfaces. The materials settings and functional additives for this purpose and the related characterization methods are reviewed. Measurements and reporting needs for fair comparisons of different materials and their properties are discussed. Finally, future directions and further research opportunities for developing tough bioadhesive surgical sealants are highlighted.

Abstract
Herein, a multifunctional bilayer wound patch is developed by integrating a debonding-on-demand polymeric tissue adhesive (DDPTA) with an ionic conducting elastomer (ICE). As a skin adhesive layer, the DDPTA is soft and adherent at skin temperature but hard and non-tacky when cooled, so it provides unique temperature-triggered quick adhesion and non-forced detachment from the skin. During use, the dense surface of the DDPTA prevents blood infiltration and reduces unnecessary blood loss with gentle pressing. Moreover, its hydrophobic matrix helps to repel blood and prevents the formation of clots, thus precluding wound tearing during its removal. This unique feature enables the DDPTA to avoid the severe deficiencies of hydrophilic adhesives, providing a reliable solution for a wide range of secondary wound injuries. The DDPTA is versatile in that it can be covered with ICE to configure a DDPTA@ICE patch for initiating non-verbal communication systems by the fingers, leading toward sign language recognition and a remote clinical alarm system. This multifunctional wound patch with debonding-on-demand can promote a new style of tissue sealant for convenient clinical communication.

Abstract
Bleeding-related complications following vascular surgeries occur in up to half of the patients-500 000 cases annually in the United States alone. This results in additional procedures, increased mortality rate, and prolonged hospitalization, posing a burden on the healthcare system. Commercially available materials rely, in large, on forming covalent bonds between the tissue and the biomaterial to achieve adhesion. Here, it is shown that a biomaterial based on oxidized alginate and oxidized dextran together with polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer amine provides simultaneous electrostatic and covalent interactions between the biomaterial and the tissue, maximizing adhesion. This study finds that the material withstands supraphysiological pressures (≈300 mmHg) and prevents bleeding in a rabbit aortic puncture model and in a pig carotid bilateral poly(tetrafluoroethylene) graft model-achieving superior performance to commercially available materials such as Tisseel and BioGlue. Material biocompatibility is validated in comprehensive in vitro and in vivo studies in accordance with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines, including in vitro neutral red uptake test, subcutaneous implantation in rabbits, ames genotoxicity, and guinea pig maximization test. This material has the potential to provide with adequate seal and reduced complications following complex vascular surgeries, including hard-to-seal tissue-graft interfaces.

Abstract
Preventing bacterial infections and accelerating wound closure are essential in the process of wound healing. Current wound dressings lack enough mechanical properties, self-healing ability, and tissue adhesiveness, and the bacterial killing also relies on the use of antibiotic drugs. Herein, a well-designed hybrid hydrogel dressing is constructed by simple copolymerization of acrylamide (AM), 3-acrylamido phenylboronic acid (AAPBA), chitosan (CS), and the nanoscale tannic acid (TA)/ferric ion (Fe3+) complex (TFe). The resulting hydrogel possesses lots of free catechol, phenylboronic acid, amine, and hydroxyl groups and contains many reversible and dynamic bonds such as multiple hydrogen bonds and boronate ester bonds, thereby showing satisfactory mechanical properties, fast self-healing ability, and desirable tissue-adhesive performance. Benefiting from the high photothermal conversion efficiency of the TFe, the hydrogel exhibits satisfactory antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Moreover, the embedded TFe also endows the hydrogel with good antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory property, and cell proliferation to promote tissue regeneration. Remarkably, in vivo animal assays reveal that the hybrid hydrogel effectively eliminates biofilm bacteria in the wound sites and accelerates the healing process of infected wounds. Taken together, the developed versatile hydrogels overcome the shortcomings of traditional wound dressings and are expected to become potential antibacterial dressings for future biomedical applications.

Abstract
Tissue adhesives capable of achieving strong and tough adhesion in permeable wet environments are useful in many biomedical applications. However, adhesion generated through covalent bond formation directly with the functional groups of tissues (i.e., COOH and NH2 groups in collagen), or using non-covalent interactions can both be limited by weak, unstable, or slow adhesion. Here, it is shown that by combining pH-responsive bridging chitosan polymer chains and a tough hydrogel dissipative matrix one can achieve unprecedented ultratough adhesion to tissues (>2000 J m-2 ) in 5-10 min without covalent bond formation. The strong non-covalent adhesion is shown to be stable under physiologically relevant conditions and strongly influenced by chitosan molecular weight, molecular weight of polymers in the matrix, and pH. The adhesion mechanism relies primarily on the topological entanglement between the chitosan chains and the permeable adherends. To further expand the applicability of the adhesives, adhesion time can be decreased by dehydrating the hydrogel matrix to facilitate rapid chitosan interpenetration and entanglement (>1000 J m-2 in ≤1 min). The unprecedented adhesive properties presented in this study open opportunities for new strategies in the development of non-covalent tissue adhesives and numerous bioapplications.

Abstract
For rapid and effective hemostasis of uncontrollable bleeding, versatile hemostatic agents have been emerging. Among them, polyphenol-derived adhesives have attracted those hemostatic materials due to instantaneous formation of sticky barriers by robust interactions between the material and the serum proteins from wound. However, a critical challenge in such phenolic materials lies in long-term storage due to spontaneous oxidation under humid environments, leading to changes in hemostatic capability and adhesive strength. Here, we report a transparent hemostatic film consisting of gallol-conjugated chitosan (CHI-G) for minimizing the phenolic oxidation even for 3 months and maintaining strong tissue adhesiveness and its hemostatic ability. The film undergoes a phase transition from solid to injectable hydrogels at physiological pH for efficiently stopping internal and external hemorrhage. Interestingly, the hemostatic capability of the CHI-G hydrogels after 3 month storage depends on (i) the folded microstructure of the polymer with optimal gallol modification and (ii) an initial phase of either a solution state or a solid film. When the hydrogels are originated from the dehydrated film, their successful hemostasis is observed in a liver bleeding model. Our finding would provide an insight for design rationale of hemostatic formulations with long shelf-life.

Abstract
Adhesion to many kinds of surfaces, including biological tissues, is important in many fields but has been proved to be extremely challenging. Furthermore, peeling from strong adhesion is needed in many conditions, but is sometimes painful. Herein, a mussel inspired hydrogel is developed to achieve both strong adhesion and trigger-detachment. The former is actualized by electrostatic interactions, covalent bonds, and physical interpenetration, while the latter is triggered, on-demand, through combining a thixotropic supramolecular network and polymer double network. The results of the experiments show that the hydrogel can adhere to various material surfaces and tissues. Moreover, triggered by shear force, non-covalent interactions of the supramolecular network are destroyed. This adhesion can be peeled easily. The possible mechanism involved is discussed and proved. This work will bring new insight into electronic engineering and tissue repair like skin care for premature infants and burn victims.

Abstract
The drift or fall of stretchable neural microelectrodes from the surface of wet and dynamic tissues severely hampers the adoption of microelectrodes for electrophysiological signal monitoring. Endowing the stretchable electrodes with adhesive ability is an effective way to overcome these problems. Current adhesives form tough adhesion to tissues by covalent interaction, which decreases the biocompatibility of the adhesives. Here, we fabricate a strong electrostatic adhesive (noncovalent interaction), highly conformal, stretchable microelectrode arrays (MEAs) for the electrophysiological interface. This MEA was composed of polypyrrole (PPy) as the electrode material and hydrogel as the stretchable substrate [the cross-linked and copolymerized hydrogel of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), gelatin, chitosan, 2-methoxyethyl acrylate, and acrylic acid is named PAGMA]. Strong and stable electrostatic adhesion (85 kPa) and high stretchability (100%) allow for the integration of PPy MEAs based on the PAGMA hydrogel substrate (PPy-PAGMA MEAs) on diverse wet dynamic tissues. Additionally, by adjusting the concentration of AMPS in PAGMA, the hydrogel (PAGMA-1) can produce tough adhesion to many inorganic and elastomer materials. Finally, the PPy-PAGMA MEAs were toughly and conformally adhered on the rat's subcutaneous muscle and beating heart, and the rat's electrophysiological signals were successfully recorded. The development of these adhesive MEAs offers a promising strategy to establish stable and compliant electrode-tissue interfaces.

Abstract
Recent studies on soft adhesives have sought to deeply understand how their chemical or mechanical structures interact strongly with living tissues. The aim is to optimally address the unmet needs of patients with acute or chronic diseases. Synergistic adhesion involving both electrostatic (hydrogen bonds) and mechanical interactions (capillarity-assisted suction stress) seems to be effective in overcoming the challenges associated with long-term unstable coupling to tissues. Here, an electrostatically and mechanically synergistic mechanism of residue-free, sustainable, in situ tissue adhesion by implementing hybrid multiscale architectonics. To deduce the mechanism, a thermodynamic model based on a tailored multiscale combinatory adhesive is proposed. The model supports the experimental results that the thermodynamically controlled swelling of the nanoporous hydrogel embedded in the hierarchical elastomeric structure enhances biofluid-insensitive, sustainable, in situ adhesion to diverse soft, slippery, and wet organ surfaces, as well as clean detachment in the peeling direction. Based on the robust tissue adhesion capability, universal reliable measurements of electrophysiological signals generated by various tissues, ranging from rodent sciatic nerve, the muscle, brain, and human skin, are successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
Compared with traditional internal fixation devices, bone adhesives are expected to exhibit remarkable advantages, such as improved fixation of comminuted fractures and maintained spatial location of fractured scattered bone pieces in treating bone injuries. In this review, different bone adhesives are summarized from the aspects of bone tissue engineering, and the applications of bone adhesives are emphasized. The concepts of "liquid scaffold" and "liquid plate" are proposed to summarize two different research directions of bone adhesives. Furthermore, significant advances of bone adhesives in recent years in mechanical strength, osseointegration, osteoconductivity, and osteoinductivity are discussed. We conclude this topic by providing perspectives on the state-of-the-art research progress and future development trends of bone adhesives. We hope this review will provide a comprehensive summary of bone adhesives and inspire more extensive and in-depth research on this subject.

Abstract
Postoperative adhesion not only causes severe complications for patients but also increases their economic burden. Injectable bioadhesives with adhesiveness to tissues can cover irregular wounds and stay stable in situ, which is a promising barrier for antiadhesion. However, the potential tissue adhesion caused by bioadhesives' indiscriminate adhesiveness between normal and wounded tissue is still a problem. Herein, by using poly(ethylene glycol) succinimidyl succinate (PEG-SS) and gelatin, a succinyl ester-based bioadhesive (SEgel) was fabricated with self-deactivating properties for postoperative antiadhesion. Because N-hydroxysuccinimide esters (NHS-esters) were used as the adhesive group, the bioadhesives' side in contact with the tissue built covalent anchors quickly to maintain the stability, but the superficial layer facing outward withstood fast hydrolysis and then lost its adhesion within minutes, avoiding the indiscriminate adhesiveness. In addition, because of the specific degradation behavior of succinyl ester, the SEgel with proper in vivo retention was achieved without the worry of causing foreign body reactions and unexpected tissue adhesion. Both the cecum-sidewall adhesion and hepatic adhesion models showed that the SEgel markedly reduced the severity of tissue adhesion. These results, together with the ease of the preparation process and well-proven biocompatibility of raw materials, revealed that the SEgel might be a promising solution for postoperative antiadhesion.

Abstract
Underwater adhesives with efficient, selective, and repeatable adhesion are urgently needed for biomedical applications. Catechol-containing hydrogel adhesives have aroused much interest, but the design of specific underwater adhesives to biotic surfaces is still a challenge. Here we report a facile way that recapitulates the adhesion mechanism of mussel and sea gooseberry for the development of robust and specific hydrogel adhesives. With an exquisite design of chemical bonding, catechol chemistry, and electrostatic interaction, the hydrogel consisting of poly(acrylic acid) grafted with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (PAA-NHS ester), tea polyphenol (TP), chitosan (CS), and Al3+ exhibited fast, specific, and repeatable underwater adhesion to various biological tissues, such as porcine skin, intestine, liver, and shrimp. Furthermore, nanofibers-hydrogel composite (NF-HG) was prepared via the wicking effect of curcumin-loaded electrospun nanofibers. The NF-HG exhibited pH-responsive color changing properties, sustained drug release, and good cell viability, which made it suitable as a novel wound healing material. This strategy may provide great inspiration for designing multifunctional specific underwater adhesives.

Abstract
Fast and strong bio-adhesives are in high demand for many biomedical applications, including closing wounds in surgeries, fixing implantable devices, and haemostasis. However, most strong bio-adhesives rely on the instant formation of irreversible covalent crosslinks to provide strong surface binding. Repositioning misplaced adhesives during surgical operations may cause severe secondary damage to tissues. Here, we report hydrogel tapes that can form strong physical interactions with tissues in seconds and gradually form covalent bonds in hours. This timescale-dependent adhesion mechanism allows instant and robust wet adhesion to be combined with fault-tolerant convenient surgical operations. Specifically, inspired by the catechol chemistry discovered in mussel foot proteins, we develop an electrical oxidation approach to controllably oxidize catechol to catecholquinone, which reacts slowly with amino groups on the tissue surface. We demonstrate that the tapes show fast and reversible adhesion at the initial stage and ultrastrong adhesion after the formation of covalent linkages over hours for various tissues and electronic devices. Given that the hydrogel tapes are biocompatible, easy to use, and robust for bio-adhesion, we anticipate that they may find broad biomedical and clinical applications.

Abstract
A low-cost wound dressing with efficient sterilization and exhibiting long-term antimicrobial activity is required for the absence of antibiotics, particularly for the wound healing of patients with chronic wounds or long-term activities under low sanitary conditions (e.g., battlefield and poverty-stricken areas). Here, a dual dynamic crosslinking hydrogel was introduced. The hydrogel was supported by gallic acid grafted chitosan and oxidized Bletilla striata polysaccharide as the scaffold and formed by two types of dynamic crosslinking: Schiff base, pyrogallol-Fe3+. It exhibited its adhesion, self-healing, good biocompatibility, great intrinsic antibacterial, and near-infrared photothermal conversion activity. In addition, the use of two types of polysaccharides, and the existence of the photothermal effect, making the hydrogel has the functions of accelerating gelation, degradation on-demand, and rapid sterilization. In brief, such cost-effective multifunctional hydrogel could support wound healing in patients prone to bacterial infection, and it has a promising application in the care of infected wounds.

Abstract
The wet and highly dynamic environment of the mouth makes local treatment of oral mucosal diseases challenging. To overcome this, a photo-crosslinking hydrogel adhesive is developed inspired by the success of light-curing techniques in dentistry. The adhesive operates on a fast (within 5 s) phototriggered S-nitrosylation coupling reaction and employs imine anchoring to connect to host tissues. Unlike other often-used clinical agents that adhere weakly and for short durations, this thin, elastic, adhesive, and degradable cyclic o-nitrobenzyl-modified hyaluronic acid gel protects mucosal wounds from disturbance by liquid rinsing, oral movement, and friction for more than 24 h. The results from both rat and pig oral mucosa repair models demonstrate that this new gel adhesive creates a favorable microenvironment for tissue repair and can shorten tissue healing time. This study thus illustrates a therapeutic strategy with the potential to advance the treatment of oral mucosal defects in the clinic.

Abstract
Adhesive hydrogels have been developed for wound healing applications. However, their adhesive performance is impaired dramatically due to their high swelling on wet tissues. To tackle this challenge, we fabricated a new type of non-swelling protein adhesive for underwater and in vivo applications. In this soft material, the electrostatic complexation between supercharged polypeptides with oppositely charged surfactants containing 3,4-dihydroxylphenylalanine or azobenzene moieties plays an important role for the formation of ultra-strong adhesive coacervates. Remarkably, the adhesion capability is superior to commercial cyanoacrylate when tested in ambient conditions. Moreover, the adhesion is stronger than other reported protein-based adhesives in underwater environment. The ex vivo and in vivo experiments demonstrate the persistent adhesive performance and outstanding behaviors for wound sealing and healing.

Abstract
It is challenging for injectable hydrogels to achieve high underwater adhesiveness. Based on this concern, we report a fully physically crosslinked injectable hydrogel composed of gelatin, tea polyphenols and urea, capable of realising smart adhesion to various materials, like glass and porcine skin, in diverse aqueous environments. The urea molecules are designed as crosslinking disruptors for interfering with the formation of hydrogen bonds in the hydrogel, therefore modulating its crosslinking density and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, toughness and adhesive strength. Triggered by physical diffusion of the urea molecules towards the surrounding liquid environment, the hydrogel can achieve efficient (∼10 s), self-strengthening and long-lasting (>2 weeks) underwater adhesion. Remarkably, for fresh porcine skin, the instantaneous underwater adhesive strength is 10.4 kPa whereas the peak strength is as high as 152.9 kPa with the aid of the self-strengthening effect. More interestingly, it can simultaneously form controllable underwater non-adhesive surfaces, regulated by changes in the diffusion-triggered local concentration of urea. Further, it is also biocompatible, antibacterial, biodegradable and 3D printable in water, which offers great convenience for various applications concerning smart interfacial adhesion, like biomedicine and flexible electronics. Likewise, the physical diffusion-mediated mechanism represents an innovative strategy for developing next-generation smart hydrogels.

Abstract
Chitosan-based hydrogels have been widely used for various biomedical applications due to their versatile properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, muco-adhesiveness, hemostatic effect and so on. However, the inherent rigidity and brittleness of pure chitosan hydrogels are still unmanageable, which has limited their potential use in biomaterial research. In this study, we developed in situ forming chitosan/PEG hydrogels with improved mechanical properties, using the enzymatic crosslinking reaction of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The effect of PEG on physico-chemical properties of hybrid hydrogels was thoroughly elucidated by varying the content (0-100 %), molecular weight (4, 10 and 20 kDa) and geometry (linear, 4-arm) of the PEG derivatives. The resulting hydrogels demonstrated excellent hemostatic ability and are highly biocompatible in vivo, comparable to commercially available fibrin glue. We suggest these chitosan/PEG hybrid hydrogels with tunable physicochemical and tissue adhesive properties have great potential for a wide range of biomedical applications in the near future.

Abstract
As a kind of natural protein derived material, gelatin has been widely used in the preparation of medical hydrogels due to its good biocompatibility, non-immunogenicity and the ability of promoting cell adhesion. Functionalization of gelatin-based hydrogels is a hot topic in research and its clinic application. Herein, a novel gelatin-based adhesive hydrogel was prepared via mussel-inspired chemistry. Gelatin was firstly functionalized by dopamine to form dopamine grafted gelatin (GelDA). After the mixture with 1,4-phenylenebisboronic acid and graphene oxide (GO), the GelDA/GO hydrogels were obtained by H2O2/HRP (horseradish peroxidase) catalytic system. Based on the self-healing and tissue adhesion of the hydrogels, the hemostatic property has been exhibited in the rat hepatic hemorrhage model. Additionally, the incorporation of GO endowed conductivity and enhanced the mechanical property of GelDA/GO hydrogels. The electromyography (EMG) signals of finger movement were successfully monitored by using hydrogel as the adhesive electrodes of EMG monitor. L929 cell experiments showed that the hydrogels had good cytocompatibility. The results indicated the potential application of GelDA/GO hydrogels in tissue adhesives, wound dressings, and wearable devices.

Abstract
In the present study, a novel synthetic tissue adhesive material capable of sealing wounds without the use of any crosslinking agent was developed by conjugating thermosensitive hexanoyl glycol chitosan (HGC) with gallic acid (GA). The degree of N-gallylation was manipulated to prepare GA-HGCs with different GA contents. GA-HGCs demonstrated thermosensitive sol-gel transition behavior and formed irreversible hydrogels upon natural oxidation of the pyrogallol moieties in GA, possibly leading to GA-HGC crosslinks through intra/intermolecular hydrogen bonding and chemical bonds. The GA-HGC hydrogels exhibited self-healing properties, high compressive strength, strong tissue adhesive strength and biodegradability that were adjustable according to the GA content. GA-HGCs also presented excellent biocompatibility and wound healing effects. The results of in vivo wound healing efficacy studies on GA-HGC hydrogels indicated that they significantly promote wound closure and tissue regeneration by upregulating growth factors and recruiting fibroblasts compared to the untreated control group.

Abstract
Most infectious human viruses are generally found in the bloodstream after being released by infected organs. Thus, hemorrhage in patients, whose blood contains infectious viruses might be a significant risk for secondary infections. In this work, a self-sealing hemostatic needle that causes no bleeding even after its removal is reported. The materials used for the self-sealing needles are inspired by mussel adhesive polysaccharide, chitosan-catechol, which shows a rapid phase transition from a solid phase (i.e., a thin film) to an adhesive gel upon coming into contact with blood. We found that the self-sealing time for the complete hemostasis depends on the oxidation pathway of the conjugated catechol. For high-temperature oxidation (i.e., 60 °C), Michael addition is a dominant oxidative coupling reaction, which weakens the chitosan-catechol attachment force on the needle surface. Thus, the film is easily transferred to the hemorrhaging sites, with the result that there is no bleeding even after a short injection time (<5 s). In contrast, during low-temperature oxidation (4 °C), Schiff base formation is dominant, which strengthens the film attachment force on the needle surface, resulting in continued bleeding owing to a dearth of tissue transfer after the injection.

Abstract
Hydrogels that are mechanically tough and capable of strong underwater adhesion can lead to a paradigm shift in the design of adhesives for a variety of biomedical applications. We hereby innovatively develop a facile but efficient strategy to prepare hydrogel adhesives with strong and instant underwater adhesion, on-demand detachment, high toughness, notch-insensitivity, self-healability, low swelling index, and tailorable surface topography. Specifically, a polymerization lyophilization conjugation fabrication method was proposed to introduce tannic acid (TA) into the covalent network consisting of polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) of substantially high molecular weight. The presence of TA facilitated wet adhesion to various substrates by forming collectively strong noncovalent bonds and offering hydrophobicity to allow water repellence and also provided a reversible cross-link within the binary network to improve the mechanical performance of the gels. The long-chain PEGDA enhanced the efficacy and stability of TA conjugation and contributed to gel mechanics and adhesion by allowing chain diffusion and entanglement formation. Moreover, PEGDA/TA hydrogels were demonstrated to be biocompatible and capable of accelerating wound healing in a skin wound animal model as compared to commercial tissue adhesives and can be applied for the treatment of both epidermal and intracorporeal wounds. Our study provides new, critical insight into the design principle of all-in-one hydrogels with outstanding mechanical and adhesive properties and can potentially enhance the efficacy of hydrogel adhesives for wound healing.

Abstract
Cryogels with tissue adhesion have great potential as wound dressings for rapid hemostasis for uncontrollable nonpressing surface hemorrhage and wound healing, but their use has not been reported previously. Herein, we designed a series of antibacterial and antioxidant tissue-adhesive cryogels based on quaternized chitosan (QCS) and polydopamine (PDA). These cryogels had good blood cell and platelet adhesion, enrichment, and activation properties for rapid nonpressing surface hemostasis and wound healing. The cryogels exhibited outstanding mechanical strength and easy removability, antioxidant activity, and NIR photothermal-enhanced antibacterial performance. The cryogels showed much better hemostasis than gauze and gelatin sponge in a standardized strip rat liver injury model, a standardized circular rabbit liver section model, and a pig skin laceration model. Furthermore, the excellent hemostatic performance of the QCS/PDA2.0 cryogel (containing 20 mg/mL QCS and 2.0 mg/mL PDA) for coagulopathic hemorrhages was confirmed in a standardized coagulation disorder rabbit circular liver section model. In addition, the QCS/PDA2.0 cryogel promoted rapid hemostasis in a deep noncompressible wound and a much better wound healing effect than a chitosan sponge and Tegaderm film in a full-thickness skin defect model. Overall, these multifunctional tissue-adhesive cryogels with excellent hemostatic performance and enhanced wound healing properties are suitable candidates for tissue-adhesive hemostat and wound healing dressings.

Abstract
Bioadhesives such as tissue adhesives, hemostatic agents, and tissue sealants have potential advantages over sutures and staples for wound closure, hemostasis, and integration of implantable devices onto wet tissues. However, existing bioadhesives display several limitations including slow adhesion formation, weak bonding, low biocompatibility, poor mechanical match with tissues, and/or lack of triggerable benign detachment. Here, we report a bioadhesive that can form instant tough adhesion on various wet dynamic tissues and can be benignly detached from the adhered tissues on demand with a biocompatible triggering solution. The adhesion of the bioadhesive relies on the removal of interfacial water from the tissue surface, followed by physical and covalent cross-linking with the tissue surface. The triggerable detachment of the bioadhesive results from the cleavage of bioadhesive's cross-links with the tissue surface by the triggering solution. After it is adhered to wet tissues, the bioadhesive becomes a tough hydrogel with mechanical compliance and stretchability comparable with those of soft tissues. We validate in vivo biocompatibility of the bioadhesive and the triggering solution in a rat model and demonstrate potential applications of the bioadhesive with triggerable benign detachment in ex vivo porcine models.

Abstract
Background Delivery of hydrogels to the heart is a promising strategy for mitigating the detrimental impact of myocardial infarction (MI). Challenges associated with the in vivo delivery of currently available hydrogels have limited clinical translation of this technology. Gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) bioadhesive hydrogel could address many of the limitations of available hydrogels. The goal of this proof‐of‐concept study was to evaluate the cardioprotective potential of GelMA in a mouse model of MI. Methods and Results The physical properties of GelMA bioadhesive hydrogel were optimized in vitro. Impact of GelMA bioadhesive hydrogel on post‐MI recovery was then assessed in vivo. In 20 mice, GelMA bioadhesive hydrogel was applied to the epicardial surface of the heart at the time of experimental MI. An additional 20 mice underwent MI but received no GelMA bioadhesive hydrogel. Survival rates were compared for GelMA‐treated and untreated mice. Left ventricular function was assessed 3 weeks after experimental MI with transthoracic echocardiography. Left ventricular scar burden was measured with postmortem morphometric analysis. Survival rates at 3 weeks post‐MI were 89% for GelMA‐treated mice and 50% for untreated mice (P=0.011). Left ventricular contractile function was better in GelMA‐treated than untreated mice (fractional shortening 37% versus 26%, P<0.001). Average scar burden in GelMA‐treated mice was lower than in untreated mice (6% versus 22%, P=0.017). Conclusions Epicardial GelMA bioadhesive application at the time of experimental MI was performed safely and was associated with significantly improved post‐MI survival compared with control animals. In addition, GelMA treatment was associated with significantly better preservation of left ventricular function and reduced scar burden.
