Connections Matter: Channeled Hydrogels to Improve Vascularization
The use of cell-laden hydrogels to engineer soft tissue has been emerging within the past years. Despite, several newly developed and sophisticated techniques to encapsulate different cell types the importance of vascularization of the engineered constructs is often underestimated. As a result, cell death within a construct leads to impaired function and inclusion of the implant. Here, we discu...
متن کاملVascularization of Microfluidic Hydrogels
Current methods for engineering vascularized tissues rely primarily on the self-organization of vascular cells (endothelial cells, pericytes, and smooth muscle cells) or their progenitors in a scaffold and/or on the recruitment of new vessels via release of angiogenic factors [1,2]. While these approaches certainly accelerate the process of graft vascularization, they still require several days...

متن کاملSupramolecular Hydrogelators and Hydrogels: From Soft Matter to Molecular Biomaterials
In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the applications of supramolecular hydrogels/hydrogelators as molecular biomaterials. After a brief introduction of methods for generating supramolecular hydrogels, we discuss supramolecular hydrogelators on the basis of their categori...
متن کاملLeveraging Social Connections to Improve Peer Assessment in MOOCs
With the advent of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), students from all over the world can access to quality courses via a web browser. Due to their great convenience, a popular MOOC can easily attract tens of thousands of students to enroll. Hence, a challenging problem in MOOCs is to find an efficient way to grade a large scale of assignments. To address this problem, peer assessment was pr...
