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 …

Degradable and cell-compatible hydrogels can be designed to mimic the physical and
biochemical characteristics of native extracellular matrices and provide tunability of …

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

The tissue engineering field has developed in response to the shortcomings related to the
replacement of the tissues lost to disease or trauma: donor tissue rejection, chronic …

Encapsulating cells in biodegradable hydrogels offers numerous attractive features for
tissue engineering, including ease of handling, a highly hydrated tissue-like environment for …

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

Advanced cell culture techniques are increasingly needed to better understand basic cell
physiology, predict in vivo response, and engineer de novo functional tissue substitutes …

The specific microenvironment that cells reside in fundamentally impacts their broader
function in tissues and organs. At its core, this microenvironment is composed of precise …

Multidomain peptides are a class of amphiphilic self-assembling peptides with a modular
ABA block motif in which the amphiphilic B block drives self-assembly while the flanking A …

Micropatterning techniques that control three-dimensional (3D) arrangement of
biomolecules and cells at the microscale will allow development of clinically relevant tissues …
