Journal ArticleDOI
Exceptionally small supramolecular hydrogelators based on aromatic–aromatic interactions
TL;DR: The use of an aromatic–aromatic interaction is reported to produce small molecule hydrogelators that self-assemble in water and form molecular nanofibers in the resulting hydrogels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peptide Hydrogel as an Intraocular Drug Delivery System for Inhibition of Postoperative Scarring Formation
Xiao-Ding Xu,Liang Liang,Chang-Sheng Chen,Bo Lu,Na-ling Wang,Fa-Gang Jiang,Xian-Zheng Zhang,Ren-Xi Zhuo +7 more
TL;DR: The pathology and immunohistochemistry demonstrate that the filtration fistula is patent without postoperative scarring formation, resulting in the significantly low intraocular pressure (IOP) of the rabbit eyes within postoperative 28 days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic Hydrogels from Host-Guest Supramolecular Interactions.
TL;DR: Host-guest supramolecular hydrogels lend themselves to a variety of applications resulting from their dynamic properties that arise from non-covalent supramolescular interactions, as well as engineered responsiveness to external stimuli, an exciting new class of materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Thermogelling Supramolecular Hydrogel with Sponge-Like Morphology as a Cytocompatible Bioink
Thomas Lorson,Sebastian Jaksch,Michael M. Lübtow,Tomasz Jungst,Jürgen Groll,Tessa Lühmann,Robert Luxenhofer +6 more
TL;DR: A novel thermogelling block copolymer is synthesized and the rheological properties of its aqueous solution are investigated by viscosimetry and rheology, and excellent cytocompatibility was demonstrated with NIH 3T3 fibroblasts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultivation of endothelial cells on adhesive protein-free synthetic polymer gels.
Yong Mei Chen,Nozomi Shiraishi,Hideo Satokawa,Akira Kakugo,Tetsuharu Narita,Jian Ping Gong,Yoshihito Osada,Kimiko Yamamoto,Joji Ando +8 more
TL;DR: It was found that hydrogels with a negative zeta potential higher than about 20 mV facilitates cell proliferation, and bovine fetal aorta endothelial cells can adhere, spread, proliferate, and reach confluence on poly(acrylic acid), poly(sodium p-styrene sulfonate), and poly(2-acrylamido-2- methyl-1-propanesulfonic sodium) gels.

Solution Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)
M. Heskins,J. E. Guillet +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a lower critical solution temperature of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide was found to be due to an entropy effect, which was attributed to the formation of nonpolar and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric Systems for Controlled Drug Release
TL;DR: Kevin Shakesheff investigates new methods of engineering polymer surfaces and the application of these engineered materials in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alginate hydrogels as synthetic extracellular matrix materials
TL;DR: Alginate may prove to be an ideal material with which to confer specific cellular interactive properties, potentially allowing for the control of long-term gene expression of cells within these matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable block copolymers as injectable drug-delivery systems
TL;DR: The synthesis of a thermosensitive, biodegradable hydrogel consisting of blocks of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(L-lactic acid) and aqueous solutions of these copolymers exhibit temperature-dependent reversible gel–sol transitions.
