Hydrogels are one of the most commonly used materials in our daily lives, which possess crosslinked three-dimensional network structures and capable absorbing large amounts fluid. Due to their outstanding properties, such as flexibility, tunability, biocompatibility, hydrogels have been widely employed biomedical research clinics, especially on-demand drug release. However, traditional face various limitations, e.g., delivery hydrophobic drugs due highly hydrophilic interior environment. Therefore, micelle-containing designed developed, both microenvironments enable storage diverse cargos. Based on functionalities micelles, these can be classified into micelle-doped chemically/physically types, were reported responsive varied stimuli, including temperature, pH, irradiation, electrical signal, magnetic field, etc. Here, we summarize advances provide perspectives applications field based recent studies from own lab others.

ABSTRACT Recent developments in polymer materials have led to an increased implementation of hydrogels biomedical settings, especially the creation smart hydrogels. Traditional single‐network often exhibit challenges, such as poor mechanical strength, insufficient biocompatibility, and slow response rates. To address these issues, researchers introduced Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) hydrogels, which significantly improve strength via topological entanglements physical interactions. This dual‐network design not only enhances biocompatibility but also responsiveness stimuli, endowing with distinctive properties like cell adhesion, conductivity, hemostatic functions, antioxidant abilities, color‐changing properties. The purpose this article is elucidate factors that trigger stimuli IPN their impacts on cellular behavior, various applications they can serve. A comprehensive overview provided regarding classification, mechanisms, performance attributes, related subjects. Ultimately, review emphasizes promise hold fulfilling increasing need for innovative improved features sector.

Esophageal cancer is one of the most common cancers in world, ranking sixth cancer-related mortality. Doxorubicin (DOX), as a classic broad-spectrum, non-specific small-molecular anti-tumor drug, has achieved widespread use, including treatment esophageal cancer. However, due to its strong cardiotoxicity, poor tumor-targeting ability, and short half-life, clinical application DOX been greatly limited. In this research, we designed successfully synthesized peptide sequence IEIIIK (IEK for short) with excellent pH responsiveness. Under physiological conditions (pH 7.4), can encapsulate self-assemble into stable hydrogel (DOX-IEK) through hydrophobic electrostatic interactions. After being injected acidic tumor microenvironment, protonation degree alkaline amino acid lysine increased negative charge glutamate decreased, directly leading enhanced repulsion subsequent dissociation. Released accumulate tissue achieve efficacy. More importantly, act drug reservoir sustained release, improving targeting prolonging duration administration compensate half-life DOX, reducing systemic toxicity. Ideal efficacy both
