Injectable Macroporous Hydrogels using Perfluorcarbon Emulsions as Porogens comments

by Todd Hoare Samaneh Toufanian
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 ...

In Vitro Cytotoxicity and Cytokine Production by Lipid-Substituted Low Molecular Weight PEIs Used for Gene Delivery comments

by Hasan Uludag Daniel Nisakar Meenakshi Sundaram
Lipid-modified low molecular weight polyethyleneimines LMW PEIs are promising non-viral gene delivery systems that have been successfully explored for the treatment of various diseases through the delivery of plasmid DNA pDNA or mRNA to expression therapeutic proteins thereby restoring the defective protein, for the knockdown of aberrant proteins using RNA interference RNAi with short interfering RNA siRNA or for the complete knockout of the gene using CRISPR technology 1, 2 ...

Polymer chain mobility dependent fetuin adsorption affects cell proliferation on elastomer surfaces comments

by Brian Amsden Moira Vyner
Tissue cells are known to respond to the stiffness of their substrate, however the mechanism by which they sense substrate stiffness is not well understood...

Transiently Cationic Nanoparticles for Controlled Protein Release comments

by Molly Shoichet Timothy Cheung
Traditionally, controlled release from local delivery vehicles has involved diffusion-based strategies, where an encapsulated therapeutic diffuses slowly out of a nanoparticle...

Injectable Thermosensitive Chitosan/Chondroitin Sulfate Hydrogels for Cell Therapy comments

by Sophie Lerouge Yasaman Alinejad
Injectable hydrogels have received much attention to be used as scaffolds for therapeutic cell delivery because of their interesting properties such as biocompatibility, ability to retain water, insignificant mechanical and frictional irritation with the native tissue and having the possibility to be located in the body through minimally invasive operations...
