A Stiff Injectable Biodegradable Elastomer.
Injectable materials often have shortcomings in mechanical and drug-eluting properties that are attributable to their high water contents. A water-free, liquid four-armed PEG modified with dopamine end groups is described which changed from liquid to elastic solid by reaction with a small volume of Fe3+ solution. The elastic modulus and degradation times increased with increasing Fe3+ concentra...
متن کاملEndothelialized microvasculature based on a biodegradable elastomer.
Vital organs maintain dense microvasculature to sustain the proper function of their cells. For tissue- engineered organs to function properly, artificial capillary networks must be developed. We have microfabricated capillary networks with a biodegradable and biocompatible elastomer, poly(glycerol sebacate) (PGS). We etched capillary patterns onto silicon wafers by standard micro-electromechan...
متن کاملAssessing cell-material interactions on a novel biodegradable elastomer
Introduction The characterization of cellular interactions with a biomaterial surface is important to the development of novel biomaterials. Traditional methods used to characterize processes such as cell adhesion, retention, growth, and phenotypic differentiation on biomaterials are time consuming, destructive, and do not allow for in situ quantitative assessment. The overall goal of this rese...
متن کاملA new biodegradable polyester elastomer for cartilage tissue engineering.
The objective of this study is to assess whether a new biodegradable elastomer, poly(1,8-octanediol citrate) (POC), would be a suitable material to engineer elastomeric scaffolds for cartilage tissue engineering. Porous POC scaffolds were prepared via the salt-leaching method and initially assessed for their ability to rapidly recover from compressive deformation (% recovery ratio). Controls co...
متن کاملInjectable, Biodegradable Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Applications
Hydrogels have many different applications in the field of regenerative medicine. Biodegradable, injectable hydrogels could be utilized as delivery systems, cell carriers, and scaffolds for tissue engineering. Injectable hydrogels are an appealing scaffold because they are structurally similar to the extracellular matrix of many tissues, can often be processed under relatively mild conditions, ...
