The rich structures and hierarchical organizations in nature provide many sources of
inspiration for advanced material designs. We wish to recapitulate properties such as high …

In this review, we focus on the very recent developments on the use of the stimuli responsive
properties of polymer hydrogels for targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and …

Hydrogels are an important class of biomaterials with the unique property of high‐water
content in a crosslinked polymer network. In particular, chemically crosslinked hydrogels …

Hydrogels with high strength and ductility are normally prepared from synthetic polymers,
and most protein‐based hydrogels are soft and brittle. Here, a strong, ductile gelatin …

Injectable thermo-responsive hydrogels have been studied for various biomedical
applications including; drug delivery, cell encapsulation, and tissue repairing. There are …

Proteins are fundamentally the most important macromolecules for biochemical, mechanical,
and structural functions in living organisms. Therefore, they provide us with diverse structural …

Materials in nature have fascinating properties that serve as a continuous source of
inspiration for materials scientists. Accordingly, bio-mimetic and bio-inspired approaches …

Short designer self‐assembling peptide (dSAP) biomaterials are a new addition to the
hemostat group. It may provide a diverse and robust toolbox for surgeons to integrate wound …

A shape-memory hydrogel is a programmable hydrogel material that can store specific
shapes and execute functions in response to stimuli. In this report, we developed shape …

Adhesives can potentially be used to achieve fast and efficient wound closure; however,
current products show poor bonding on wet surfaces, undergo swelling, and lack adequate …
