Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels in Biology and Medicine: From Molecular Principles to Bionanotechnology†
TL;DR: This work highlights recent developments in engineering uncrosslinked and crosslinked hydrophilic polymers for biomedical and biological applications and shows how such systems' intelligent behavior can be used in sensors, microarrays, and imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels in drug delivery: progress and challenges
Todd Hoare,Daniel S. Kohane +1 more
TL;DR: Recent progress in overcoming challenges with regards to effectively delivering hydrogels inside the body without implantation, prolonging the release kinetics of drugs fromhydrogels, and expanding the nature of drugs which can be delivered using hydrogel-based approaches is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing hydrogels for controlled drug delivery.
Jianyu Li,David J. Mooney +1 more
TL;DR: This Review discusses how different mechanisms interact and can be integrated to exert fine control in time and space over the drug presentation, and collects experimental release data from the literature and presents quantitative comparisons between different systems to provide guidelines for the rational design of hydrogel delivery systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels in regenerative medicine
Brandon V. Slaughter,Shahana S. Khurshid,Omar Z. Fisher,Ali Khademhosseini,Nicholas A. Peppas +4 more
TL;DR: The properties of hydrogels that are important for tissue engineering applications and the inherent material design constraints and challenges are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels as Extracellular Matrix Mimics for 3D Cell Culture
TL;DR: The use of both synthetic and natural hydrogels as scaffolds for three-dimensional cell culture as well as synthetic hydrogel hybrids that incorporate sophisticated biochemical and mechanical cues as mimics of the native extracellular matrix are discussed.

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.
