Translational Considerations for Injectable Biomaterials and Bioscaffolds to Repair and Regenerate Brain Tissue

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The repair and regeneration of brain tissue faces both biological and technical challenges. Injectable bioscaffolds offer new opportunities to stimulate tissue regrowth in the brain by recruiting neural stem cells. Here, the translational issues are reviewed that need to be address to advance this promising new therapeutic approach from the bench to ...

Using High‐Throughput Screening to Identify Crosslinking Peptides That Control Cell‐Mediated Matrix Degradation

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Protease‐degradable hydrogels mimic dynamic cell‐matrix interactions, but controlling hydrogel degradation is a challenge. We screen libraries of peptides to identify sequences that are primarily degraded by membrane‐localized proteases. Crosslinking hydrogels with these peptides enables cell to spread and migrate while reducing matrix degradation ...

Norbornene Homopolymerization Limits Cell Spreading in Thiol–Ene Photoclick Hydrogels

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Thiol–norbornene click reactions are often used in the development of cell‐permissive 3D hydrogels. However, ene–ene crosslinks in other thiol–ene systems are known to limit permissivity. This study demonstrates the negative effects of norbornene homopolymerization on 3D cell spreading and circumvents the issue by modulating polymer degree of ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Granular Hydrogels as Modular Biomaterials: From Structural Design to Biological Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Granular hydrogels are now emerging as promising biomaterials due to their inherent microporousity, injectability, and modularity. They have shown improvements in cell viability and migration, cellular/tissue infiltration, host tissue integration, mitigated foreign body response, and tissue regeneration.

Synthetic Hydrogels Incorporating Hydrolytic/Nonhydrolytic Macromer Ratios Exhibit Improved Tunability of In Vivo Degradation and Immune Responses

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A synthetic 4‐arm maleimide‐terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG‐4MAL) hydrogel system that combines hydrolytic ester‐linked macromer (PEG‐4eMAL) with nondegradable amide‐linked macromer (PEG‐4aMAL) in various stoichiometric ratios to tune the degradability rate. The macromers are crosslinked with dithiothreitol via thiol‐maleimide click reaction. The
