With the ageing of the population worldwide and the increasing of the life expectancy, the demand for new reliable models to study physiological and pathological processes occurring in vascular tissues is growing...

Allergic conjunctivitis affects nearly 40 of the North American population 1 . Topical eye drops are the most common treatment method, but it is generally accepted that less than 5 of an applied dose remains bioavailable, resulting in frequent reapplication 2 , 3 ...

Elastic hydrogels carry the potential to serve as scaffolds for various biomedical applications. Though some elastic hydrogels are biocompatible, most of the synthetic polymer-based elastic scaffolds lack bioactive sequences to promote cell adhesion or migration, which is important for their application in tissue engineering...

Load bearing connective tissues, such as the intervertebral discs, are susceptible to both age-related degeneration and traumatic damage, but recovery is hindered by their avascular nature1...

Molecular imprinting aims to replicate cellular binding sites receptors or ligands by molding an impression of their structure onto a polymeric substrate...
