Injectable Hydrogels in Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering

Polymers
Heart problems are quite prevalent worldwide. Cardiomyocytes and stem cells are two examples of the cells and supporting matrix that are used in the integrated process of cardiac tissue regeneration. The objective is to create innovative materials that can effectively replace or repair damaged cardiac muscle.

Therapeutic neovascularization promoted by injectable hydrogels

Bioactive Materials, 2018
The aim of therapeutic neovascularization is to repair ischemic tissues via formation of new blood vessels by delivery of angiogenic growth factors, stem cells or expansion of pre-existing cells. For efficient neovascularization, controlled release of growth factors is particularly necessary since bolus injection of molecules generally lead to a poor ...

Robust and Reversible Thermofluorescence in Solvent‐Free Thermoplastic Polyurethane Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermofluorescent polymer composites with high‐contrast optical outputs are prepared by solvent‐free blending of indenoquinacridone dye into a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. The temperature‐dependent fluorescence originates from aggregation–dissociation of the dye molecules, regulated by competing hydrogen bonds from the polymer matrix.
