Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive biopolymers derived from human
elastin. Their unique properties—including lower critical solution temperature phase …

This review focuses on the synthesis of hydrogel networks using thiomers such as thiolated
hyaluronic acid, chitosan, cyclodextrin, poly (ethylene glycol) and dextran that are cross …

Hydrogels are polymeric networks, capable of absorbing large amounts of water and
biological fluids. They are insoluble due to the presence of chemical or physical cross-links …

Hydrogels comprise a class of soft materials which are extremely useful in a number of
contexts, for example as matrix-mimetic biomaterials for applications in regenerative …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are biopolymers inspired by human elastin. Their lower
critical solution temperature phase transition behavior and biocompatibility make them …

Neurological and functional recovery is limited following central nervous system injury and
severe injury to the peripheral nervous system. Extracellular matrix (ECM)‐mimetic …

Collagen and elastin represent the two most predominant proteins in the body and are
responsible for modulating important biological and mechanical properties. Thus, the focus …

The biochemical and biophysical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) play a pivotal
role in regulating cellular behaviors such as proliferation, migration, and differentiation …

Hydrogels provide mechanical support and a hydrated environment that offer good
cytocompatibility and controlled release of molecules, and myriad hydrogels thus have been …

Preoperative chemotherapy is effective in improving the prognosis of patients, but its efficacy
is impeded by cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) that enhance the survival, growth, and …
