Citric-acid-derived photo-cross-linked biodegradable elastomers.
Citric-acid-derived thermally cross-linked biodegradable elastomers (CABEs) have recently received significant attention in various biomedical applications, including tissue-engineering orthopedic devices, bioimaging and implant coatings. However, citric-acid-derived photo-cross-linked biodegradable elastomers are rarely reported. Herein, we report a novel photo-cross-linked biodegradable elast...
متن کاملRecent Developments on Citric Acid Derived Biodegradable Elastomers
Biodegradable elastomers have recently found widespread application in many areas of biomedical engineering such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and bioimaging. In particular, the recent developments in research have led to the creation of citric acid based polymers with enhanced mechanical properties, novel design strategies for crosslinking, nanoporous features, and unique photoluminesc...
متن کاملModulating Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene Vascular Graft Host Response via Citric Acid-Based Biodegradable Elastomers
Atherosclerotic vascular disease, in the form of coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease, remains the leading cause of mortality in the United States. For many patients, suitable vein autografts are not available. Synthetic grafts made from Dacron (polyethylene terephthalate) or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) are mostly used in large-diameter (> 6 mm inner diameter) blood-vess...
متن کاملSustained transgene expression via citric acid-based polyester elastomers.
Polymeric scaffolds are an important tool in tissue engineering and gene delivery using porous scaffolds can be a viable approach to control tissue response. Herein we describe the use of a biodegradable polyester elastomer, poly(1,8-octanediol-co-citrate) (POC), as a substrate for plasmid immobilization and cellular transfection of colonizing cells. Plasmid (pDNA), either complexed with poly(e...
متن کاملCitric acid-derived in situ crosslinkable biodegradable polymers for cell delivery.
Herein, we report a first citric acid (CA)-derived in situ crosslinkable biodegradable polymer, poly(ethylene glycol) maleate citrate (PEGMC). The synthesis of PEGMC could be carried out via a one-pot polycondensation reaction without using organic solvents or catalysts. PEGMC could be in situ crosslinked into elastomeric PPEGMC hydrogels. The performance of hydrogels in terms of swelling, degr...
