Therapeutic effect of the injectable thermosensitive hydrogel loaded with SHP099 on intervertebral disc degeneration

TL;DR: The results suggest that SHP2 is a key factor in IDD progression, and SHP099 inhibits both its expression and NP cell degeneration, and delivery via injectable thermosensitive hydrogels is a potential treatment strategy for IDD.

Ionic coordination strengthening of temperature-driven gradient hydrogel actuators with rapid responsiveness

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used a copolymer of NIPAM and 3-sulfopropyl methacrylate potassium salt (SPA) monomers, and tunicate cellulose nanocrystals (TCNCs) as nanofillers.
Journal ArticleDOI

An injectable thermosensitive hydrogel with a self-assembled peptide coupled with an antimicrobial peptide for enhanced wound healing.

TL;DR: Rat full-thickness skin experiments revealed that the PNI/RA-Amps/E hydrogel accelerates wound healing significantly by accelerating epithelialization, the generation of new blood vessels and promoting the generationof collagen fiber compared with commercial dressing.

Tissue Cells Feel and Respond to the Stiffness of Their Substrate

TL;DR: An understanding of how tissue cells—including fibroblasts, myocytes, neurons, and other cell types—sense matrix stiffness is just emerging with quantitative studies of cells adhering to gels with which elasticity can be tuned to approximate that of tissues.

Environment-sensitive hydrogels for drug delivery

TL;DR: Development of environmentally sensitive hydrogels with a wide array of desirable properties can be made is a formidable challenge, however, if the achievements of the past can be extrapolated into the future, it is highly likely that responsive hydrogelWith such properties can been made.

Functional hydrogel structures for autonomous flow control inside microfluidic channels

TL;DR: The fabrication of active hydrogel components inside microchannels via direct photopatterning of a liquid phase greatly simplifies system construction and assembly as the functional components are fabricated in situ, and the stimuli-responsive hydrogels components perform both sensing and actuation functions.
