Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

Influence of alginate on type II collagen fibrillogenesis
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2005 Collagen II is the majority of extracellular matrix components in articular cartilage, which with the major functions of preventing expansion of the tissue and distributing the load of body weight. To obtain man-made ECM, the reconstitution of collagen could be conducted in the presence of negatively charged polysaccharide, such as alginate.

Type II collagen quantification in experimental chondrogenesis
Osteoarthritis and Cartilage, 1995 Type II collagen is an excellent indicator of the cartilage phenotype. Accurate quantification with existing methods requires about 100 micrograms of collagen. We have developed a method which allows for accurate quantification of type II collagen in samples as small as 1 microgram (and sample volumes as little as 1 microliters).
