Polymeric biomaterials have a significant impact in today's health care technology. Polymer
hydrogels were the first experimentally designed biomaterials for human use. In this article …

Cartilage tissue engineering has primarily focused on the generation of grafts to repair
cartilage defects due to traumatic injury and disease. However engineered cartilage tissues …

Hydrogel is a promising vaccine delivery vehicle, and have been applied to deliver antigens
and adjuvants to enhance the immunogenicity of antigens. However, the complexity of …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a synthetic, biocompatible polymer that has been widely
studied for use in bioengineered tissue scaffolds due to its relatively high strength, creep …

Theta-gels are hydrogels that form during the solidification and phase separation of two
dislike polymers, in which a low molecular weight polymer behaves as a porogen and is …

Background Cartilage tissue engineering is a fast-evolving field of biomedical engineering,
in which the chondrocytes represent the most commonly used cell type. Since research in …

The in vivo biocompatibility and toxicity of PVA/NOCC scaffold were tested by comparing
them with those of a biocompatible inert material HAM in a rat model. On Day 5, changes in …

Chitosan, a natural-based polymer obtained by alkaline deacetylation of chitin, is non-toxic,
biocompatible, and biodegradable. Due to its desired properties, chitosan-based materials …

A new platform for triptolide (TP) delivery was prepared by conjugating TP to a
carboxylmethyl chitosan (CMCS). Compared with the natural TP, the TP-conjugate (TP …

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) has been reported to promote chondrogenic
differentiation and proliferation in the multipotent stromal cell (MSCs), and the transforming …
