Journal ArticleDOI
Fibroblast growth factors: biology, function, and application for tissue regeneration.
Ye-Rang Yun,Jong-Eun Won,Eunyi Jeon,Sujin Lee,Wonmo Kang,Hyejin Jo,Jun-Hyeog Jang,Ueon Sang Shin,Hae-Won Kim +8 more
TL;DR: The biology and cellular functions of FGFs are introduced and the biomaterials based delivery systems and their current applications for the regeneration of tissues are discussed, including skin, blood vessel, muscle, adipose, tendon/ligament, cartilage, bone, tooth, and nerve tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel biocompatible polysaccharide-based self-healing hydrogel
Zhao Wei,Jianhai Yang,Zhen Qi Liu,Feng Xu,Jinxiong Zhou,Miklós Zrínyi,Yoshihito Osada,Yong Mei Chen +7 more
TL;DR: The developed hydrogel shows excellent self‐healing ability under physiological conditions with a high healing efficiency without need for any external stimuli and holds great potential for applications in various biomedical fields, e.g., as cell or drug delivery carriers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels and Hydrogel-Derived Materials for Energy and Water Sustainability.
TL;DR: This review highlights the highly tunable synthesis of various hydrogels, involving key synthetic elements such as monomer/polymer building blocks, cross-linkers, and functional additives, and discusses how hydrogles can be employed as precursors and templates for architecting three-dimensional frameworks of electrochemically active materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
“Nonswellable” Hydrogel Without Mechanical Hysteresis
TL;DR: The synthesis of injectable “nonswellable” hydrogels from hydrophilic and thermoresponsive polymers, in which two independently occurring effects (swelling and shrinking) oppose each other are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superabsorbent hydrogels based on polysaccharides for application in agriculture as soil conditioner and nutrient carrier: A review
Marcos R. Guilherme,Fauze A. Aouada,André R. Fajardo,Alessandro F. Martins,Alexandre Tadeu Paulino,Magali F.T. Davi,Adley F. Rubira,Edvani C. Muniz,Edvani C. Muniz +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the synthesis, characterization and application of superabsorbent hydrogels in agriculture, mainly those based on polysaccharides, as soil conditioners and as polymer carriers for nutrient release, is presented.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
