Summary: The repetition of urea-based binding units within the receptor structure determines the function of the whole receptor molecule by allocating active moieties to mutual positions. Bivalent receptors form self-aggregates, while dendritic receptors with low dihydrogen phosphate loadings offer cooperative complexation mode.

Summary: The GAL-24 glycodendrimer is designed for targeted drug delivery to hepatocytes by exploiting the asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGP-R). It demonstrates significant accumulation in the liver shortly after systemic administration and maintains hepatocyte-targeting capabilities in mouse and rat models, showing promise for improved drug delivery in treating various liver disorders.

Summary: A series of Ag(i) supramolecular organo-aqueous gels have been synthesized using an amine-rich triazole ligand. The choice of triazole derivative and counter anion allows the gelator to accentuate its gelation ability and self-healability via hydrogen bonding. The pendant -NH2 groups act as hydrogen bond donors and facilitate the three component coupling reaction, providing a convenient synthesis of propargyl amines.

Summary: A series of Ag(i) supramolecular organo-aqueous gels have been synthesized using hydrogen bonding to achieve autonomous self-healing properties and catalytic control. The resulting propargylamines show remarkable functional group tolerance and the catalyst demonstrates comparable or better efficiency than reported systems. This approach has the potential to develop purpose-built supramolecular gels for desired catalytic applications.

Summary: Low-molecular-weight hydrogelators containing stearoyl, glycine, and D-glucamine moieties with or without methyl groups were synthesized to prepare chemically tuned molecular hydrogels. The role of hydrogen bonding in hydrogel formation was evaluated by synthesizing hydrogelators with or without methyl groups at their N-H in amide groups, resulting in the formation of fiber in molecular hydrogels. The obtained hydrogels exhibited improved thixotropic performance with tunable softness, and the thixotropic cycles depended on the methyl substitution positions in the hydrogelators. Chemical modification to change the positions of hydrogen bonds allowed for tuning of the mechanical properties of molecular gels.

Summary: This article reviews the recent advances and applications of dendritic catalysis in the past two decades, with a focus on heterogeneous dendrimer-based catalysts. Three main approaches to synthesizing immobilized heterogeneous dendrimer-based catalysts are considered, and magnetically separable dendritic catalysts are also discussed. These dendritic catalysts can be stored as powders and easily separated from the reaction medium, maintaining efficiency similar to homogeneous dendritic catalysts.

Summary: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), as widely used nanomaterials in medicine, show high popularity and suitability as cancer diagnostic and therapeutic agents as well as effective antibacterial agents. In this study, silver and bambusuril[6] (BU[6])-based nanoparticles were developed for the first time and exhibited high antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus bacteria.

Summary: Two minimalistic diketopiperazine-based gelators with efficient gelation abilities through multiple stimuli for hydrogelation and organogelation, respectively, were reported. Insights into the aggregation and gelation properties were gained through examination of the photophysical and material properties of selected gels, representative of different modes of gelation. The modular synthesis of gelators based on readily available amino acid building blocks allows efficient diversification and fine-tuning of gel properties.

Summary: Dendrimers are synthetic materials that resemble proteins in terms of their discrete structural organization, globular morphology, and nanoscale dimensions. They can be easily produced on a large scale. In recent years, novel dendritic architectures have emerged, expanding the landscape of dendrimers beyond traditional paradigms. This review aims to provide a comprehensive panorama of dendrimers, discussing their key attributes and applications.

Summary: A new hydrogel ink is proposed, which is made of micro-gels and metal ligands, enabling the printed scaffold to remain stable under specific conditions while also having the ability to disintegrate. This ink exhibits good rheological characteristics and maintains scaffold integrity after curing.

Summary: According to the Kamlet-Abraham-Taft polarity parameters, a quantitative hydrogen bonding analysis (QHB) was proposed to predict the solubility of polymers in ionic liquids (ILs). The solubilities of polymer/deep eutectic solvent (DES) pairs were tested to confirm the applicability of QHB analysis. It was found that the solubility of cellulose in DESs, which should be H-bond basic, did not show the same effectiveness as H-bond basic ILs, indicating possible reasons for this discrepancy.
