Multicompartment Hydrogels [PDF]
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2022 AbstractHydrogels belong to the most promising materials in polymer and materials science at the moment. As they feature soft and tissue‐like character as well as high water‐content, a broad range of applications are addressed with hydrogels, e.g., tissue engineering and wound dressings but also soft robotics, drug delivery, actuators, and catalysis ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Fungi are increasingly identified as major pathogens in bloodstream infections, often involving indwelling devices. Materials with antifungal properties may provide an important deterrent to these infections. Here we describe amphogel, a dextran-based hydrogel into which amphotericin B is adsorbed.

Hypoxia-inducible hydrogels [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2014 Oxygen is vital for the existence of all multicellular organisms, acting as a signalling molecule regulating cellular activities. Specifically, hypoxia, which occurs when the partial pressure of oxygen falls below 5%, plays a pivotal role during development, regeneration and cancer.
