Acrylamide Polymer Double-Network Hydrogels
Background: In focal repair of joint cartilage and meniscus, initial stiffness and strength of repairs are generally much less than surrounding tissue. This increases early failure potential. Secure primary fixation of the repair material is also a problem. Acrylamide polymer double-network (DN) hydrogels are candidate-improved repair materials. DN gels have exceptional strength and toughness c...
متن کاملDynamic phototuning of 3D hydrogel stiffness.
Hydrogels are widely used as in vitro culture models to mimic 3D cellular microenvironments. The stiffness of the extracellular matrix is known to influence cell phenotype, inspiring work toward unraveling the role of stiffness on cell behavior using hydrogels. However, in many biological processes such as embryonic development, wound healing, and tumorigenesis, the microenvironment is highly d...
متن کاملEffects of osteochondral defect size on cartilage regeneration using a double-network hydrogel
BACKGROUND There has been increased interest in one-step cell-free procedures to avoid the problems related to cell manipulation and its inherent disadvantages. We have studied the chondrogenic induction ability of a PAMPS/PDMAAm double-network (DN) gel and found it to induce chondrogenesis in animal osteochondral defect models. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the healing p...
متن کاملEffects of Hydrogel Stiffness and Extracellular Compositions on Modulating Cartilage Regeneration by Mixed Populations of Stem Cells and Chondrocytes In Vivo.
Cell-based therapies offer great promise for repairing cartilage. Previous strategies often involved using a single cell population such as stem cells or chondrocytes. A mixed cell population may offer an alternative strategy for cartilage regeneration while overcoming donor scarcity. We have recently reported that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can catalyze neocartilage formation by neonat...
متن کاملA Dynamic Hybrid Service Overlay Network for Service Compositions
This paper presents a dynamic hybrid Service Overlay Network (SON) for service composition for multimedia delivery in mobile networks. The overlay considers the nomadic nature of mobile nodes in the decision for node placement within the overlay as well as the types of services provided and expected Quality of Service (QoS) levels. Dynamic re-organization of the overlay reflects changes in stab...
