Summary: The immune system plays a crucial role in protecting the body from pathogens and tumor cells while promoting tissue repair and anti-tumor activity. Systemic administration of immune agents often leads to non-specific immune activity and autoimmune complications. To address this issue, local immunomodulation using adhesive hydrogels, specifically mussel-inspired adhesive hydrogels, has been developed. These hydrogels provide targeted and controlled release of immune agents, with regulatory effects on local immune cells, maximizing therapeutic outcomes and minimizing impact on overall immune balance. This review covers the current knowledge on immune response in tissue repair and tumor therapy, the design strategies of adhesive hydrogels, and the molecular structure and immunomodulatory mechanisms of mussel-inspired adhesive hydrogels.

Summary: This study reports a wet adhesive composed of a single-component poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) that enables fast and robust underwater adhesion. The PIL adhesive film possesses excellent stretchability and flexibility, achieving anchoring on target substrates regardless of deformation and water scouring. The wet adhesion capability of PILs is attributed to the synergy of different non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding, cation-N, electrostatic, and van der Waals interactions, as revealed by surface force measurements. Surprisingly, the PIL adhesive film also exhibits impressive underwater sound absorption capacity.

Summary: Through a surface-recognized strategy, super-lubricating surfaces with targeted self-repairability are developed using reversible and selective dynamic click chemistry. These surfaces exhibit superlubricity at physiologically high pressure (approximately 7.5 MPa) with a friction coefficient of mu≈0.002. Even when wear-induced coating-substrate breakage occurs, the lubricating materials can reassociate with their pairing surfaces through specific dynamic covalent linkages, preventing surface bridging and maintaining high lubricity even after repeated damage. This study presents an innovative paradigm for developing durable lubricating surfaces with bespoke reparability for biomedical applications.

Summary: Infections can have serious health consequences, including death. Surfaces, such as biomedical devices, implants, textiles, tables, and doorknobs, serve as carriers for pathogens to move, attach, and multiply. Implementing antimicrobial surfaces is a reliable and long-lasting approach to combat surface transmission of germs, reduce microbial colonization, and decrease infections. This review presents recent advancements in antimicrobial surfaces, categorized into four groups based on their mechanisms of action: antifouling, bactericidal, antifouling and bactericidal, and dynamic or stimuli-responsive surfaces. The review discusses the fabrication processes and properties of each category, along with their structure-performance relationships. Special attention is given to various anchoring strategies involving tunable molecular interactions. Relevant biomedical applications are also introduced.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
