摘要

The increasingly intimate bond connecting soft actuation devices and emerging biomedical applications is triggering the development of novel materials with superb biocompatibility and a sensitive actuation capability that can reliably function as bio-use-oriented actuators in a human-friendly manner.Stimulus-responsive hydrogels are biocompatible with human tissues/organs, have sufficient water content, are similar to extracellular matrices in structure and chemophysical properties, and are responsive to external environmental stimuli, and these materials have recently attracted massive research interest for fabricating bioactuators.The great potential of employing such hydrogels that respond to various stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature, light, electricity, and magnetic fields) for actuation purposes has been revealed by their performances in real-time biosensing systems, targeted drug delivery, artificial muscle reconstruction, and cell microenvironment engineering.In this review, the material selection of hydrogels with multiple stimulus-responsive mechanisms for actuator fabrication is first introduced, followed by a detailed introduction to and discussion of the most recent progress in emerging biomedical applications of hydrogel-based bioactuators.Final conclusions, existing challenges, and upcoming development prospects are noted in light of the status quo of bioactuators based on stimulus-responsive hydrogels.Soft materials that change their shape in response to an external stimulus can be used for biomedical applications.Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of polymers.This structure means they can swell in response to electricity, to magnetic fields or a change in pH, temperature or light.A team led by XiuJun Li from the University of Texas at El Paso, USA, and Feng Xu from Xi'an Jiaotong University, China, have reviewed the development of a number of hydrogels that exhibit several different mechanisms for stimulus response.This work provides guidelines for those researchers aiming to harness these biocompatible materials for biosensing, targeted drug delivery, artificial muscle reconstruction and the engineering of the cellular microenvironment.The authors assess the prospects of these applications and the challenges faced before they can reach their full potential.Stimulus-responsive hydrogels, with biocompatibility, sufficient water content, similarity to extracellular matrices, and responses to specific environmental stimuli, have recently received massive research interest for fabricating bioactuators.The potential of employing these hydrogels that respond to various stimuli (e.g., pH, temperature, light, electricity, and magnetic fields) for actuation purposes has been uncovered by their performances in biosensing, drug delivery, artificial muscle reconstruction, and cell microenvironment engineering.In this review, a material selection of stimulus-responsive hydrogels and a detailed discussion of recent advances in emerging biomedical applications of hydrogel-based bioactuators are proposed.Existing challenges and future prospects are noted as well.
