Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial cellulose as a potential scaffold for tissue engineering of cartilage
Anna Svensson,Elin Nicklasson,Elin Nicklasson,Tim Harrah,Bruce Panilaitis,David L. Kaplan,Mats Brittberg,Paul Gatenholm +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that unmodified BC supports chondrocyte proliferation at levels of approximately 50% of the collagen type II substrate while providing significant advantages in terms of mechanical properties, and suggest the potential for this biomaterial as a scaffold for tissue engineering of cartilage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrogels for protein delivery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional aqueous-derived biomaterial scaffolds from silk fibroin.
TL;DR: These new silk-based three-dimensional matrices provide useful properties as biomaterial matrices due to the all-aqueous mode of preparation, control of pore size, connectivity of pores, degradability and useful mechanical features.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured hydrogels for three-dimensional cell culture through self-assembly of fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-dipeptides
Vineetha Jayawarna,Murtza Ali,Thomas A. Jowitt,Aline F. Miller,Alberto Saiani,Julie E. Gough,Rein V. Ulijn +6 more
TL;DR: A number of short peptide amphiphiles consisting of dipeptides linked to fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl spontaneously form fibrous hydrogels under physiological conditions, and the gels support the three-dimensional cell culture of chondrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supramolecular polymeric hydrogels
TL;DR: A critical review summarising the formation of dynamic polymeric networks through specific non-covalent interactions, with a particular emphasis on those systems based on host-guest complex formation, as well as the characterisation of their physical characteristics.

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.
