Fabrication of scaffolds in tissue engineering: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the differences among the properties of tissues, such as pore size and distribution, porosity, structure, and mechanical properties, are elucidated and critically reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzymatic mineralization generates ultrastiff and tough hydrogels with tunable mechanics

TL;DR: The enzyme-induced formation of amorphous calcium phosphate nanostructures that are homogenously distributed within polymer hydrogels are reported that have fracture energies superior to that of most known water-swollen synthetic materials and are able to modulate their stiffness well beyond that of cartilage and skin.

Highly luminescent gels and mesogens based on elaborated borondipyrromethenes

TL;DR: Supramolecular gels and liquid-crystalline materials containing borondipyrromethene (F-Bodipy) are a new class of highly luminescent materials built by attachment of long-chain alkoxydiacylamido scaffoldings to boradiazaindacene templates.

Biodegradable in situ gel-forming controlled drug delivery system based on thermosensitive PCL-PEG-PCL hydrogel. Part 2: sol-gel-sol transition and drug delivery behavior.

TL;DR: In this work, a biodegradable and injectable in situ gel-forming controlled drug delivery system based on thermosensitive poly(epsilon-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-Poly(ep silicon-caproactone) (PCEC) hydrogel was studied and showed that the model drugs could be released from the PCEC hydrogels system over a sustained period.

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.
