TL;DR: These results demonstrated how alginate gel and gel/cell systems could be formulated with controlled structure, gelation rate, and mechanical properties for tissue engineering and other biomedical applications.

TL;DR: The antibacterial electroactive injectable hydrogel dressing prolonged the lifespan of dressing relying on self-healing ability and significantly promoted the in vivo wound healing process attributed to its multifunctional properties, meaning that they are excellent candidates for full-thickness skin wound healing.

TL;DR: Various architectural parameters of scaffolds important for bone tissue engineering (e.g. porosity, pore size, interconnectivity, and pore-wall microstructures) are discussed and surface modification of scaffolding is also discussed based on the significant effect of surface chemistry on cells adhesion and function.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the newly developed NHAP/polymer composite scaffolds may serve as an excellent 3D substrate for cell attachment and migration in bone tissue engineering.

TL;DR: Current biomimetic materials approaches in tissue engineering include synthesis to achieve certain compositions or properties similar to those of the extracellular matrix, novel processing technologies to achieve structural features mimicking the ext racellular matrix on various levels, and biologic delivery strategies to recapitulate a signaling cascade or developmental/wound healing program.
