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 ...
