Polymer-based hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks with crosslinks widely applied
for drug delivery applications because of their ability to hold large amounts of water and …

Chronic, non-healing wounds place a significant burden on patients and healthcare
systems, resulting in impaired mobility, limb amputation, or even death. Chronic wounds …

The cell microenvironment has emerged as a key determinant of cell behavior and function
in development, physiology, and pathophysiology. The extracellular matrix (ECM) within the …

Bioprinting offers a highly-automated and advanced manufacturing platform that facilitates
the deposition of bio-inks (living cells, biomaterials and growth factors) in a scalable and …

This article summarizes the recent progress in the design and synthesis of hydrogels as
tissue-engineering scaffolds. Hydrogels are attractive scaffolding materials owing to their …

Inflammation is intimately related to the pathogenesis of numerous acute and chronic
diseases like cardiovascular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and …

Nanotechnologies have attracted increasing attention in their application in medicine,
especially in the development of new drug delivery systems. With the help of nano-sized …

In this review, we explore different approaches for introducing bioactivity into poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) hydrogels. Hydrogels are excellent scaffolding materials for repairing and …

Bioactive hydrogels formed by Michael-type addition reactions of end-functionalized poly
(ethylene glycol) macromers with cysteine-containing peptides have been described as …

Hydrogels are increasingly employed as multidimensional cell culture platforms often with a
necessity that they respond to or control the cellular environment. Specifically, synthetic …
