Delivery of therapeutics across blood brain barrier is a challenging task as most small organic molecules have inadequate aqueous solubility, limited bioavailability or poor permeation across blood brain barrier 1 ...
Injectable hydrogels that can be delivered using needles offer particular advantages in biomedical applications given that these hydrogels do not require invasive surgical implantation, thereby reducing recovery time for patients, reducing costs, and in many cases enabling direct encapsulation, rather than post-encapsulation, of cells during the gel formation process 1 ...
Two problems arise when replacing a patient artery by a synthetic vascular graft VG . The first one is the absence of endothelial lining on the lumen side of the graft, related to the inappropriate surface properties and textures, which leads to VG thrombosis...
Scaffolds are a main part of biomaterial science and are used as biodegradable implants that are capable of supporting the host tissue, guiding the tissue to grow within it and degrading in the body as the tissue regenerates 1-3...
