An in situ forming collagen–PEG hydrogel for tissue regeneration
TL;DR: Data suggest that these collagen and PEG hydrogels exhibit the mechanical, physical and biological properties suitable for use as an injectable tissue scaffold for the treatment of a variety of simple and complex tissue defects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioprinting living structures
TL;DR: This article summarizes the scientific basis of bioprinting that utilizes three-dimensional delivery devices for the rapid and accurate placement of biological materials into biocompatible environments, where post-printing self-assembly takes place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zwitterionic poly(carboxybetaine) hydrogels for glucose biosensors in complex media.
TL;DR: Results show that glucose sensors coated with polyCBMA hydrogels via the chemical method achieve very high sensitivity and good linearity in response to glucose in PBS, 10%, 50%, and 100% human blood serum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Connectivity and Structural Defects in Model Hydrogels: A Combined Proton NMR and Monte Carlo Simulation Study
Frank Lange,Konrad Schwenke,Manami Kurakazu,Yuki Akagi,Ung-il Chung,Michael Lang,Jens-Uwe Sommer,Takamasa Sakai,Kay Saalwächter +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of Tetra-PEG hydrogels was studied using proton multiple-quantum NMR at low field in combination with computer simulations, and the local-scale connectivity inhomogeneities, i.e., the sol and dangling polymer chains as well as the typical network connectivity defects resulting from the A-B reaction of four-arm macromonomers, were quantified experimentally for the first time.

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.
