Photoactivatable (alternatively, photoremovable, photoreleasable, or photocleavable)
protecting groups (PPGs), also known as caged or photocaged compounds, are used to …

This review provides a detailed overview of the rapidly advancing field of biofabrication,
particularly with regards to the use of photo-cross-linking (ie, light-based) techniques. The …

Photoactivated materials have found widespread use in biological and medical applications
and are playing an increasingly important role in the nascent field of three-dimensional (3D) …

The high occurrence rate and difficulties in symptom control are listed as the major problems
of oral mucosal disease by medical professionals. Following the development of oral …

Active biomaterials offer novel approaches to study mechanotransduction in mammalian
cells. These material systems probe cellular responses by dynamically modulating their …

The fields of coordination polymers (CPs) and supramolecular metallopolymers (SMPs)
have been extensively studied for decades. Spectacular recent advances in both fields have …

Photoresponsive materials have been widely used in vitro for controlled therapeutic delivery
and to direct 4D cell fate. Extension of the approaches into a bodily setting requires use of …

Controlling the physical properties of soft materials with external stimuli enables researchers
to mimic and study dynamic systems. Of particular interest are hydrogels, polymer networks …

Self-assembly is promising for construction of a wide variety of supramolecular assemblies,
whose 1D/2D/3D structures are typically relevant to their functions. In-depth understanding …

Supramolecular polymers are, in broad brushstrokes, self-assembled structures built up from
small building blocks via the use of noncovalent interactions. In favorable cases …
