Stimuli-responsive polymeric drug delivery systems are of great interest in anticancer research. Here, a reactive oxygen species (ROS)–responsive prodrug was prepared by thioketal linkage of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and the anticancer drug doxorubicin (DOX).

Polydopamine (PDA) has been gradually applied in wound healing of various types in the last three years. Due to its rich phenol groups and unique structure, it can be combined with a variety of materials to form wound dressings that can be used for chronic infection, tissue repair in vivo and serious wound healing. PDA complex has excellent mechanical properties and self-healing properties, and it is a stable material that can be used for a long period of time. Unlike other dressings, PDA complexes can achieve both photothermal therapy and electro activity. In this paper, wound healing is divided into four stages: antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, cell adhesion and proliferation, and re-epithelialization. Photothermal therapy can improve the bacteriostatic rate and remove reactive oxygen species to inhibit inflammation. Electrical signals can stimulate cell proliferation and directional migration. With low reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, inflammatory factors are down-regulated and growth factors are up-regulated, forming regular collagen fibers and accelerating wound healing. Finally, five potential development directions are proposed, including increasing drug loading capacity, optimization of drug delivery platforms, improvement of photothermal conversion efficiency, intelligent electroactive materials and combined 3D printing.
