Biomass DNA: An Emerging Building Block for Advanced Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Biomass DNA is rapidly emerging from its traditional role as a genetic blueprint to serve as a versatile abundant, highly programmable polymeric building block. This review highlights the transformation of macroscopic bulk biomass DNA into next generation of functional materials, spanning from dynamic hydrogels, sustainable bioplastics, and high ...

Vitamin C‐Induced Photo‐Redox Threshold Enables High‐Fidelity Volumetric Printing of Collagen

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Tomographic volumetric printing (TVP) of native proteins is limited by uncontrolled background crosslinking. Here, vitamin C is introduced as a biocompatible redox regulator to establish a tunable nonlinear polymerization threshold response for TVP.

Effects of Collagenase Preconditioning on Partially Incised Rat Tendon Treated with Light-Emitting Diodes and Platelet-Rich Plasma

Biomedicines
Background: Tendinopathy is a challenging condition associated with high treatment costs, prolonged dysfunction, and lower quality of life. Current treatment strategies aim to accelerate healing by modulating the healing phases.

Gene Therapy Using Plasmid DNA Encoding Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor 164 and Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Genes for the Treatment of Horse Tendinitis and Desmitis: Case Reports

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2017
In this clinical study, for the first time we used the direct gene therapy to restore severe injuries of the suspensory ligament branch and superficial digital flexor tendon in horses (Equus caballus). We injected the plasmid DNA encoding two therapeutic

Programmable Microgel Degradation in Dynamic Granular Hydrogels Guides Extracellular Matrix Assembly During Tissue Repair

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports on the chemical modification of hyaluronic acid to create hydrogels with hydrolytic degradability ranging from 2–28 days. Granular hydrogels that undergo timed degradation to increase porosity enhance cell invasion and provisional ECM remodeling in a muscle injury model, leading to reduced fibrosis and improved regeneration ...

Investigating the Effect of Aging on the Viscosity of Tendon Fascicles and Fibers

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
In the current work, we investigate the effect of aging on the viscosity of tendon subunits. To that scope, we make use of experimental relaxation curves of healthy and aged tendon fascicles and fibers, upon which we identify the viscosity parameters ...

A Critical Review on the Evolution of Chitosan‐Based Injectable Hydrogels in Bone Regeneration

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The graphical illustration depicts hydrogel formulation using chitosan and biocompatible cross‐linkers, major advantages, and incorporation of cells, osteoinductive factors, and therapeutic drugs. Following injection, pH‐responsive gelation enables controlled drug release, promotes cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation, enhances extracellular
