Injectable Dual‐Crosslinked Poly(oligo(Ethylene Glycol) Methacrylate) Hydrogels Inspired by Mussel Adhesion for Cutaneous Wound Healing and Functional Tissue Regeneration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Injectable POEGMA‐DA hydrogels, dual‐crosslinked via dopamine self‐polymerization and dynamic hydrazone bonds, provide a safer alternative to invasive wound closure methods and toxic bioadhesives. Mimicking skin‐like mechanics, they achieve effective tissue adhesion for acute dermal wounds, supporting improved healing outcomes, including reducing ...

A proposed rapid methodology to assess the prevalence and causes of blindness and visual impairment.

, 2006
PURPOSE: To determine whether a sample of the 50-year-old and above population would provide comparable information to a total population-based survey. METHODS: In 1996, a national eye survey of the total population in The Gambia was undertaken and the ...

Spherical Skin Model: Stratified Co‐Culture of Fibroblasts and Keratinocytes on Spherical Beads Toward Compound Screening

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Models of the human skin must combine the relevant biological contents and suitable biomaterials with the correct spatial organization. Performing compound screening on such in vitro models also requires fast and reproducible production methods of the models.

Ocular biometrics in eyes with different white-to-white corneal diameter in young myopic adults

Scientific Reports
The interactions between white-to-white corneal diameter (WTW) and other ocular biometrics are important for planning of refractive surgery and understanding of ocular structural changes in myopia, but such interactions are rarely investigated in young ...

Time-resolved refractive index and absorption mapping of light-plasma filaments in water

, 2007
By means of a quantitative shadowgraphic method, we performed a space-time characterization of the refractive index variation and transient absorption induced by a light-plasma filament generated by a 100 fs laser pulse in water.

Development of a Novel Synthetic Hydrogel Sealant for Effective Prevention of Liver Resection‐Associated Bile Leakage

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A dual‐crosslinking poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel is presented that rapidly solidifies and progressively adheres to tissue, achieving durable sealing of bile leaks. In hepatectomy models, this system prevents postoperative complications more effectively than conventional sealants, highlighting its translational potential as a safe and efficient ...
