Journal ArticleDOI
Differentially photo-crosslinked polymers enable self-assembling microfluidics
TL;DR: The self-assembly of photopatterned polymers, and consequently microfluidic devices, into curved geometries is reported and it is discovered that differentially photo-crosslinked SU-8 films spontaneously and reversibly curve on film de-solvation and re- solvation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural and synthetic biodegradable polymers: different scaffolds for cell expansion and tissue formation.
Annalia Asti,Luciana Gioglio +1 more
TL;DR: The future potential for understanding the characteristics of the biomaterials considered evaluated for clinical use in order to repair or to replace a sizable defect by only harvesting a small tissue sample is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels used for cell-based drug delivery
TL;DR: This review will discuss the cell encapsulation process, the immunogenicity of the encapsulating hydrogel, the Immunity, the transport properties of the hydrogels, and thehydrogel mechanical properties, and will propose new strategies to improve theHydrogel and cell interaction for successful cell-based drug delivery strategies.

Improvement of Mechanical Strength and Fatigue Resistance of Double Network Hydrogels by Ionic Coordination Interactions
Qiang Chen,Xiaoqiang Yan,Lin Zhu,Hong Chen,Bing Jiang,Dandan Wei,Lina Huang,Jia Yang,Baozhong Liu,Jie Zheng +9 more
TL;DR: Agar/PAMAAc-Fe3+ double network hydrogels (DN gels) as discussed by the authors have been proposed to improve self-recovery and fatigue resistance properties of tough DN gels.
Journal ArticleDOI
3D Graphene Oxide–Polymer Hydrogel: Near-Infrared Light-Triggered Active Scaffold for Reversible Cell Capture and On-Demand Release
TL;DR: An active cell scaffold based on a graphene-polymer hydrogel has been successfully fabricated that can efficiently capture cells not only through the bioadhesive ligand RGD but also through on-demand release of cells with an NIR light stimulus.

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.
