Controlling the degradation of an oxidized dextran-based hydrogel independent of the mechanical properties [PDF]

, 2018
The objective of this study is to control and elucidate the mechanism of molecular degradation in a polysaccharide hydrogel. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) immobilized dextran (Dex-GMA) was oxidized by periodate to introduce aldehyde groups (oxidized Dex ...

Nanozyme based ultra-stretchable, low-hysteresis, and dual-mode antibacterial composite hydrogels for wound healing

Materials Today Bio
Wound care always presents challenges as they are susceptible to bacterial infections and have mechanical compatibility issues with wound dressings, leading to a delayed recovery of the structure and functional integrity of skin tissue.

Antibacterial Hydrogels [PDF]

Advanced Science, 2018
AbstractAntibacterial materials are recognized as important biomaterials due to their effective inhibition of bacterial infections. Hydrogels are 3D polymer networks crosslinked by either physical interactions or covalent bonds. Currently, hydrogels with an antibacterial function are a main focus in biomedical research.

KDM7A and KDM1A inhibition suppresses tumour promoting pathways in prostate cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Treatment resistance is a major challenge for patients with advanced prostate cancer. This study examined an alternative approach to target the major prostate cancer‐promoting pathway by targeting epigenetic factors, whose levels are higher in tumours.

Printing Structurally Anisotropic Biocompatible Fibrillar Hydrogel for Guided Cell Alignment

Gels, 2022
Many fibrous biological tissues exhibit structural anisotropy due to the alignment of fibers in the extracellular matrix. To study the impact of such anisotropy on cell proliferation, orientation, and mobility, it is important to recapitulate and achieve

Programmable hydrogels [PDF]

Biomaterials, 2018
Programmable hydrogels are defined as hydrogels that are able to change their properties and functions periodically, reversibly and/or sequentially on demand. They are different from those responsive hydrogels whose changes are passive or cannot be stopped or reversed once started and vice versa.
