Injectable silk-polyethylene glycol hydrogels

Acta Biomaterialia, 2015
Silk hydrogels for tissue repair are usually pre-formed via chemical or physical treatments from silk solutions. For many medical applications, it is desirable to utilize injectable silk hydrogels at high concentrations (>8%) to avoid surgical implantation and to achieve slow in vivo degradation of the gel.

Injectable Hydrogels for Vascular Tissue Engineering

2021
Injectable scaffolds made of biodegradable biomaterials can stabilize a myocardial infarct and promote cardiac repair. Here, we describe an injectable, citrate-containing polyester hydrogel which can release citrate as a cell regulator via hydrogel degradation and simultaneously show sustained release of an encapsulated myeloid-derived growth factor ...

Injectable hydrogels and nanocomposite hydrogels for cartilage regeneration

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2018
AbstractCartilage loss due to age‐related degeneration and mechanical trauma is a significant and challenging problem in the field of surgical medicine. Unfortunately, cartilage tissue can be characterized by the lack of regenerative ability. Limitations of conventional treatment strategies, such as auto‐, allo‐, and xenografts or implants stimulate an

Injectable hydrogels as unique biomedical materials

Chemical Society Reviews, 2008
A concentrated fish soup could be gelled in the winter and re-solled upon heating. In contrast, some synthetic copolymers exhibit an inverse sol-gel transition with spontaneous physical gelation upon heating instead of cooling. If the transition in water takes place below the body temperature and the chemicals are biocompatible and biodegradable, such ...
