Supramolecular gels, self-assembled from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), have a
long history and a bright future. This review provides an overview of these materials, from …

Carbohydrate based low molecular weight gelators have been an intense subject of study
over the past decade. The self-assembling systems built from natural products have high …

Over the decades, the management of osteochondral lesions remains a significant yet
unmet medical challenge without curative solutions to date. Owing to the complex nature of …

There is a critical need for soft materials in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue
engineering. However, designing injectable hydrogel scaffolds encompassing both …

The dynamic assembly of a pH-responsive low-molecular-weight gelator (LMWG) within the
pre-formed matrix of a second LMWG has been achieved via diffusion of an acid from a …

Low molecular weight gels (LMWGs) have significant advantages in drug delivery such as
high drug loading capacity, in situ delivery of drug to the lesion site, sustaining drug release …

The reconstruction of bone defects following bone tumor resection pose significant
challenges, including high risks for tumor recurrence. To address these challenges, we …

We report hybrid hydrogels that combine gellan gum (GG) polymer gelator (PG) with a low-
molecular weight gelator (LMWG) based on 1, 3: 2, 4-dibenzylidene sorbitol (DBS). We …

In order to repair an osteochondral defect, it is critical to advance a bi-lineage constructive
scaffold with gradient transition. In this study, we developed a simple and straightforward …

This study reports the ability of synthetically simple, commercially viable sugar‐derived 1, 3:
2, 4‐dibenzylidenesorbitol‐4′, 4 “‐diacylhydrazide (DBS‐CONHNH2) to support cell …
