Medicine relies on the use of pharmacologically active agents (drugs) to manage and treat
disease. However, drugs are not inherently effective; the benefit of a drug is directly related …

The supramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains in water by specific, directional and
dynamic non-covalent interactions has led to the development of novel supramolecular …

Mouldable hydrogels that flow on applied stress and rapidly self-heal are increasingly
utilized as they afford minimally invasive delivery and conformal application. Here we report …

Regenerative medicine involves interdisciplinary biomimetic approaches for cell therapy
and tissue regeneration, employing the triad of cells, signals, and/or scaffolds. Remarkably …

Hydrogels are physically or chemically cross-linked polymer networks that are able to
absorb large amounts of water. They can be classified into different categories depending …

Injectable matrices and depots have been the subject of much research in the field of drug
delivery. The classical tissue engineering paradigm includes a matrix or scaffold to facilitate …

A modular one-component supramolecular transient network in water, based on poly
(ethylene glycol) and end-capped with four-fold hydrogen bonding units, is reported. Due to …

Tissue engineering, using a combination of living cells, bioactive molecules, and three-
dimensional porous scaffolds, is a promising alternative to traditional treatments such as the …

Engineering complex tissues requires a precisely formulated combination of cells,
spatiotemporally released bioactive factors, and a specialized scaffold support system …

A facile in situ supramolecular assembly and modular modification of biocompatible
hydrogels were demonstrated using cucurbit [6] uril-conjugated hyaluronic acid (CB [6]-HA) …
