A Novel Double‐Crosslinking‐Double‐Network Design for Injectable Hydrogels with Enhanced Tissue Adhesion and Antibacterial Capability for Wound Treatment

TL;DR: A novel hydrogel design is adopted by introducing two different chitosan chains via the simultaneous crosslinking of carbon–carbon double bonds and catechol‐Fe3+ chelation, which enhances mechanical performance including high compressive modulus and high ductility and can remarkably promote healing of bacteria‐infected wound.

Alginate: properties and biomedical applications

TL;DR: This review will provide a comprehensive overview of general properties of alginate and its hydrogels, their biomedical applications, and suggest new perspectives for future studies with these polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Highly stretchable and tough hydrogels

TL;DR: The synthesis of hydrogels from polymers forming ionically and covalently crosslinked networks is reported, finding that these gels’ toughness is attributed to the synergy of two mechanisms: crack bridging by the network of covalent crosslinks, and hysteresis by unzipping thenetwork of ionic crosslinks.

Cell attachment activity of fibronectin can be duplicated by small synthetic fragments of the molecule

TL;DR: The ability of fibronectin to bind cells can be accounted for by the tetrapeptide L-arginyl-glycyl- L-aspartyl-L-serine, a sequence which is part of the cell attachment domain of fibronsectin and present in at least five other proteins.
