Journal ArticleDOI
Composite three-dimensional woven scaffolds with interpenetrating network hydrogels to create functional synthetic articular cartilage.
TL;DR: A three‐dimensionally woven fiber scaffold that is infiltrated with an interpenetrating network hydrogel can build a functional biomaterial that provides the load‐bearing and tribological properties of native cartilage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembled amino acids and dipeptides as noncovalent hydrogels for tissue engineering
Derek M. Ryan,Bradley L. Nilsson +1 more
TL;DR: This review will critically assess current progress in the use of minimal self-assembling peptides and functionalized amino acids to create hydrogels, with a focus on the challenges of understanding the structure and function of these materials and on the outlook for theUse of these modular and dynamic materials as robust networks for tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropic and self-healing hydrogels with multi-responsive actuating capability.
TL;DR: A general in situ polymerization strategy for the fabrication of anisotropic hydrogels composed of highly-ordered lamellar network crosslinked by the metal nanostructure assemblies accompanied with remarkably anisotrop performances on mechanical, optical, de-swelling and swelling behaviors is described.

Gellan gum-based hydrogels for intervertebral disc tissue-engineering applications.
Joana Silva-Correia,Joaquim M. Oliveira,Sofia G. Caridade,João T. Oliveira,Rui A. Sousa,João F. Mano,Rui L. Reis +6 more
TL;DR: It is observed that the produced GG–MA hydrogels possess improved mechanical properties and lower water uptake ability and degradation rate as compared to gellan gum, and are non‐cytotoxic in vitro, thus being promising biomaterials to be used in IVD tissue‐engineering strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commercial hydrogels for biomedical applications.
TL;DR: This paper focuses on the commercially available hydrogels used for biomedical applications like wound dressings, contact lenses, cosmetic applications, tissue engineering, and drug delivery.

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.
