Journal ArticleDOI
A hydrogel derived from decellularized dermal extracellular matrix
Matthew T. Wolf,Kerry A. Daly,Ellen P. Brennan-Pierce,Scott A. Johnson,Christopher A. Carruthers,Antonio D'Amore,Shailesh P. Nagarkar,Sachin Velankar,Stephen F. Badylak +8 more
TL;DR: Results show that ECM hydrogel properties can be varied and partially controlled by the scaffold tissue source, and that these properties can markedly affect cell behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels derived from central nervous system extracellular matrix.
Christopher J. Medberry,Peter M. Crapo,Bernard F. Siu,Christopher A. Carruthers,Matthew T. Wolf,Shailesh P. Nagarkar,Vineet Agrawal,Kristen E. Jones,Jeremy Kelly,Scott A. Johnson,Sachin Velankar,Simon C. Watkins,Michel Modo,Stephen F. Badylak +13 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that CNS-ECM hydrogels may provide supportive scaffolding to promote in vivo axonal repair, and may aid in tissue reconstruction efforts following complex neurologic trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology and rheology of ternary fluid–fluid–solid systems
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of interfacially active particles in blends of immiscible homopolymers with a droplet/matrix morphology were examined and the effect of particles on drop size was not monotonic: at low volume fractions (∼0.1), particles greatly increase the size of the dispersed phase by promoting flow-induced coalescence regardless of which phase wets the particles preferentially.
Journal ArticleDOI
Some Mechanistic Insights into the Gelation of Regenerated Silk Fibroin Sol
Shailesh P. Nagarkar,Avinash J. Patil,Ashish K. Lele,Suresh Bhat,Jayesh R. Bellare,R. A. Mashelkar +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the kinetics and mechanism of the sol-gel transition were investigated using rheology and light scattering, and it was shown that a weak gel is formed almost immediately upon lowering the pH, while in the second step further gelation proceeds rapidly after a long induction time to form a selfsimilar structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rheology and morphology of model immiscible polymer blends with monodisperse spherical particles at the interface
TL;DR: The authors showed that the addition of solid particles to droplet-matrix blends of immiscible polymers induces massive changes in the rheology and the flow-induced structure even at loadings as low as 0.1 vol.
