In-Situ Forming Biomimetic Hydrogels for Tissue Regeneration
Tissue loss or organ failure caused by injury or damage is one of the most serious and costly problems in human health care. Tissue engineering, proposed by Langer et al. in the early 1990’s (Langer & Vacanti, 1993), is an emerging strategy of regenerative biomedicine that holds promise for the restoration of defect tissues and organs. The concept of tissue engineering is defined as “the applic...
متن کاملRedox-responsive organometallic hydrogels for in situ metal nanoparticle synthesis.
A new class of redox active hydrogels composed of poly(ferrocenylsilane) polyanion and poly(ethylene glycol) chains was assembled, using a copper-free azide-alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition reaction. These organometallic hydrogels displayed reversible collapse and reswelling upon chemical oxidation and reduction, respectively, and formed relatively well-defined, unaggregated Pd(0) nanoparticles (8....
متن کاملIn situ-forming hydrogels--review of temperature-sensitive systems.
In the past few years, an increasing number of in situ-forming systems have been reported in the literature for various biomedical applications, including drug delivery, cell encapsulation, and tissue repair. There are several possible mechanisms that lead to in situ gel formation: solvent exchange, UV-irradiation, ionic cross-linkage, pH change, and temperature modulation. The thermosensitive ...
متن کاملNanostructured Crosslinkable Micropatterns by Amphiphilic Dendrimer Stamping
Functional, three-dimensional (3-D) nanostructures and microstructures on surfaces can serve as excellent molecular templates for applications in optoelectronics and biotechnology. Coupling stable, amphiphilic films with hydrophobic biological molecules can yield biomimetic interfaces able to reproduce biological functions in vitro. Recently, thin films of amphiphilic molecules have been used t...
