چکیده
Tissue Sealants In article number 2100803 by Boaz Mizrahi and co-workers, an elastic biodegradable sealant is designed mixing two complementary neat (solvent-free) star shape prepolymers. This mixture, which hardens in several seconds, offers advantages over existing tissue sealants, including excellent mechanical properties degradation behavior, minimal cytotoxicity vitro biocompatibility vivo.

Metamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).
By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
متن کاملBiodegradable Multiblock Copolymers for Drug Delivery Applications
Microspheres of a hydrophobic and a hydrophilic poly(ether-ester) copolymer were evaluated for their in-vitro and in-vivo biocompatibility and degradation. The microspheres prior to and after sterilization were tested for in-vitro cytotoxicity. The invivo biocompatibility of the poly(ethylene glycol) terephthalate and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PEGT/PBT) microspheres was evaluated subcutaneo...
متن کاملProspective evaluation of biodegradable polymeric sealant for intraoperative air leaks
BACKGROUND A biodegradable polymeric sealant has been previously shown to reduce postoperative air leaks after open pulmonary resection. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy during minimally invasive pulmonary resection. METHODS In a multicenter prospective single-arm trial, 112 patients with a median age of 69 years (range 34-87 years) were treated with sealant for at le...
متن کاملModular synthesis of biodegradable diblock copolymers for designing functional polymersomes.
Polymer vesicles, or polymersomes, are promising candidates for applications in drug delivery and tissue imaging. While a vast variety of polymers have been explored for their ability to assemble into polymersomes, relatively little research on the functionalization of these polymers has been reported. We present here a novel route for the synthesis of poly(caprolactone)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)...
متن کاملNew biodegradable thermogelling copolymers having very low gelation concentrations.
New biodegradable multiblock amphiphilic and thermosensitive poly(ether ester urethane)s consisting of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), and poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) blocks were synthesized, and their aqueous solutions were found to undergo a reversible sol-gel transition upon temperature change at very low copolymer concentrations. The multiblock poly(ether es...
