PEG-PLA hydrogels by stereocomplexation for tissue engineering of cartilage.
PEG–PLA hydrogels were prepared by stereocomplexation of poly(lactide) (PLA) blocks of opposite chirality. Gelation occurred upon mixing aqueous solutions of both enantiomers of PEG6500–(PLA)2, PEG12500–(PLA)2 and PEG21800–(PLA)8 block copolymers. Stereocomplexed hydrogels from PEG6500–(PLA)2 polymers were found to be stable up to ~37 8C, while those from PEG12500–(PLA)2 and PEG21800–(PLA)8 blo...
متن کاملHydrogels Containing Marine Polysaccharides For Bone and Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Introduction: The most common biopolymers used to build-up 3D scaffolds for bone and cartilage tissue engineering are chitosan, alginate, cellulose derivatives, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, collagen and gelatin. In this study, we propose to evaluate the potential of two new marine exopolysaccharides (HE800 and GY785) that are glycosaminoglycan-like polymers and that can be produced in ...
متن کاملRecent advances on gradient hydrogels in biomimetic cartilage tissue engineering
Articular cartilage (AC) is a seemingly simple tissue that has only one type of constituting cell and no blood vessels and nerves. In the early days of tissue engineering, cartilage appeared to be an easy and promising target for reconstruction and this was especially motivating because of widespread AC pathologies such as osteoarthritis and frequent sports-induced injuries. However, AC has pro...
متن کاملEvaluation of Fracture Toughness for Articular Cartilage and Hydrogels in Cartilage Tissue Engineering By
Recently, biomaterials-based tissue engineering strategies such as hydrogels have offered great promise in repairing articular cartilage. Mechanical failure testing in outcome analyses is given the crucial clinical importance to the success of engineered constructs. Interpenetrating networks (IPNs) are gaining more attention due to their superior mechanical integrity. Extensive fracture toughne...
متن کاملHydrogels for Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Cardiac tissue regeneration is an integrated process involving both cells and supporting matrix. Cardiomyocytes and stem cells are utilized to regenerate cardiac tissue. Hydrogels, because of their tissue-like properties, have been used as supporting matrices to deliver cells into infarcted cardiac muscle. Bioactive and biocompatible hydrogels mimicking biochemical and biomechanical microenviro...
