Engineered adipose tissue from human mesenchymal stem cells maintains predefined shape and dimension: implications in soft tissue augmentation and reconstruction.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that adipose tissue engineered from human mesenchymal stem cells can retain predefined shape and dimensions for soft tissue augmentation and reconstruction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryogels for biomedical applications

TL;DR: This review highlights recent advances in cryogelation techniques and starting materials that can be utilised to synthesise biocompatible and biologically relevant cryogels as well as discussing physicochemical characterisation techniques for these materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and characterization of new injectable and degradable dextran-based hydrogels

TL;DR: In this paper, injectable and degradable dextran-based hydrogels were prepared without the use of initiators, and they were crosslinked with adipic acid dihydrazide (AAD), forming a gel within 2-4min.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microfluidic models of vascular functions.

TL;DR: The advantages of microfluidics are highlighted in four areas: the investigation of hemodynamics on a capillary length scale, the modulation of fluid streams over vascular cells, angiogenesis induced by the exposure of vascular cells to well-defined gradients in growth factors or pressure, and the growth of microvascular networks in biomaterials.

Solution Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

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.

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.
