“…[84,87,90] For synthetic polymer hydrogels, their polymerization monomers are mainly the polyethylene glycol (PEG), [20,91,92] polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), [93][94][95] polyacrylic acid (PAA), [96][97][98] polyacrylamide [99][100][101] and so on. While for natural polymer hydrogels, the commonly utilized material sources chiefly include the gelatin, [102][103][104] chitosan, [79,105,106] cellulose, [86,107] agarose, [64,108] hyaluronic acid (HA), [92,109] and other natural materials. The synthetic polymer hydrogels and natural polymer hydrogels using different material sources or polymerization monomers are respectively presented in Tables 1 and 2 with suitable examples.…”

Hydrogels, as the most typical elastomer materials with three-dimensional (3D) network structures, have attracted wide attention owing to their outstanding features in fields of sensitive stimulus response, low surface friction coefficient, good flexibility, and bio-compatibility. Because of numerous fresh polymer materials (or polymerization monomers), hydrogels with various structure diversities and excellent properties are emerging, and the development of hydrogels is very vigorous over the past decade. This review focuses on state-of-the-art advances, systematically reviews the recent progress on construction of novel hydrogels utilized several kinds of typical polymerization monomers, and explores the main chemical and physical cross-linking methods to develop the diversity of hydrogels. Following the aspects mentioned above, the classification and emerging applications of hydrogels, such as pH response, ionic response, electrical response, thermal response, biomolecular response, and gas response, are extensively summarized. Finally, this review is done with the promises and challenges for the future evolution of hydrogels and their biological applications.

As an emerging stimuli-responsive material, liquid crystal (LC) has attracted great attentions beyond display applications, especially in the area of biochemical sensors. Its high sensitivity and fast response to various biological or chemical analytes make it possible to fabricate a simple, real-time, label-free, and cost-effective LC-based detection platform. Advancements have been achieved in the development of LC-based sensors, both in fundamental research and practical applications. This paper briefly reviews the state-of-the-art research on LC sensors in the biochemical field, from basic properties of LC material to the detection mechanisms of LC sensors that are categorized into LC-solid, LC–aqueous, and LC droplet platforms. In addition, various analytes detected by LCs are presented as a proof of the application value, including metal ions, nucleic acids, proteins, glucose, and some toxic chemical substances. Furthermore, a machine-learning-assisted LC sensing platform is realized to provide a foundation for device intelligence and automatization. It is believed that a portable, convenient, and user-friendly LC-based biochemical sensing device will be achieved in the future.

“…There exists a unique group of hydrogels that show changes in swelling behavior, degradation rate, electrical conductivity or crosslinking under external stimulation. They are so-called stimuli-responsive (smart) hydrogels [92,93]. In this context, the hydrogels might be divided into conventional or stimuli-responsive ones-the response to external stimuli, which might occur physically, chemically or biochemically.…”

Injuries of the bone/cartilage and central nervous system are still a serious socio-economic problem. They are an effect of diversified, difficult-to-access tissue structures as well as complex regeneration mechanisms. Currently, commercially available materials partially solve this problem, but they do not fulfill all of the bone/cartilage and neural tissue engineering requirements such as mechanical properties, biochemical cues or adequate biodegradation. There are still many things to do to provide complete restoration of injured tissues. Recent reports in bone/cartilage and neural tissue engineering give high hopes in designing scaffolds for complete tissue regeneration. This review thoroughly discusses the advantages and disadvantages of currently available commercial scaffolds and sheds new light on the designing of novel polymeric scaffolds composed of hydrogels, electrospun nanofibers, or hydrogels loaded with nano-additives.
