Multiscale Insights of Domain Unfolding in Fibrin Mechanical Response [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Fibrinogen, the monomeric unit of fibrin, the main constituent of blood clot, has a very complex structure. The fibrinogen builds the fibrin fiber and network through the half-staggered packing via knob-hole interaction and the $\alpha$C crosslinkers. Due to its rich structure, the elastic behavior also shows a unique nature of very high stretchability

OcuPair, a Novel Photo‐crosslinkable PAMAM Dendrimer‐Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel Bandage/Bioadhesive for Corneal Injuries and Temporary Corneal Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A schematic diagram showing the OcuPair adhesive hydrogel formulation loaded into the final delivery device and applied over the full‐thickness corneal wound in an in vivo rabbit model of corneal injury followed by in situ crosslinking to form a transparent hydrogel bandage sealing the wound.

Programming filamentous network mechanics by compression [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Fibrous networks are ideal functional materials since they provide mechanical rigidity at low weight. Such structures are omnipresent in natural biomaterials from cells to tissues, as well as in man-made materials from polymeric composites to paper and textiles.

An Intelligent and Conductive Hydrogel with Multiresponsive and ROS Scavenging Properties for Infection Prevention and Anti‐Inflammatory Treatment Assisted by Electrical Stimulation for Diabetic Wound

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a novel therapeutic approach that employs a conductive hydrogel (HEPP) responsive to near‐infrared light, pH levels, and reactive oxygen species. Its goal is to enhance the healing environment affected by elevated glucose levels, insufficient oxygen, and bacterial infections in diabetes‐related wounds.

Ultrasound‐Triggered Nanocomposite “Lever” Hydrogels with a Full Repair System Accelerates Diabetic Foot Ulcer Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ultrasound (US)‐treated nanocomposite ‘lever’ hydrogels reprogrammed wound reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels and promoted wound healing in infected diabetic foot ulcers. Abstract Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are a complex mixture of neuropathy, peripheral arterial disease, and infection, where excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) exacerbates ...

Injectable and Sprayable Thermoresponsive Hydrogel with Fouling‐Resistance as an Effective Barrier to Prevent Postoperative Cardiac Adhesions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Postoperative cardiac adhesions lead to numerous difficulties in reoperation procedures. Here, a thermo‐responsive in situ formed hydrogel is shown to can reliably cover the wounds after a convenient spraying or injection and significantly reduce adhesion formation in primary and recurrent cardiac injury adhesion models.

Polymer Brush‐Based Asymmetric Porous Patch with Excellent Anti‐Bacterial and Anti‐Contamination Properties Enables Infectious Abdominal Wall Defect Repair

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A zwitterionic asymmetric patch is developed via self‐induced phase separation. The cationic layer exhibits anti‐bacterial efficacy and releases pro‐healing factor, while the zwitterionic hydrogel prevents contamination and visceral adhesion. The strong mechanical interlocking of two layers leads to a high and stable burst pressure tolerance.
