Biodegradable and Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Based on Poly(ethylene glycol) and Sebacic acid
Introduction Poly (ethylene glycol, PEG) based macromers have been widely used in tissue engineering applications as hydrogel type biomaterials, mainly due to their well known hydrophilicity and biocompatibility [1,2]. In addition, PEG based biodegradable hydrogels have been reported [3] and have drawn more attraction for tissue engineering scaffolds and/or drug delivery systems [4,5]. However,...
متن کاملDevelopment of photocrosslinkable hyaluronic acid-polyethylene glycol-peptide composite hydrogels for soft tissue engineering.
Hyaluronic acid (HA; also called hyaluronan) is a naturally derived, nonimmunogenic, nonadhesive glycosaminoglycan that has important roles in several wound-healing processes. In previous work, we created photocrosslinkable glycidyl methacrylate-HA (GMHA) hydrogel biomaterials that were cytocompatible, biologically active, and had a decreased rate of hyaluronidase degradation compared with nati...
متن کاملCharacterization of protein release from photocrosslinkable hyaluronic acid-polyethylene glycol hydrogel tissue engineering scaffolds.
The goal of this work was to utilize the naturally derived bioactive polymer hyaluronic acid (HA) to create a combination tissue engineering scaffold and protein delivery device. HA is a non-immunogenic, non-adhesive glycosaminoglycan that plays significant roles in several cellular processes, including angiogenesis and the regulation of inflammation. In previous work, we created photopolymeriz...
متن کاملDevelopment of Hydrogels and Biomimetic Regulators as Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
This paper reviews major research and development issues relating to hydrogels as scaffolds for tissue engineering, the article starts with a brief introduction of tissue engineering and hydrogels as extracellular matrix mimics, followed by a description of the various types of hydrogels and preparation methods, before a discussion of the physical and chemical properties that are important to t...
متن کاملPhotocrosslinked hyaluronic acid hydrogels: natural, biodegradable tissue engineering scaffolds.
Ideally, rationally designed tissue engineering scaffolds promote natural wound healing and regeneration. Therefore, we sought to synthesize a biomimetic hydrogel specifically designed to promote tissue repair and chose hyaluronic acid (HA; also called hyaluronan) as our initial material. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring polymer associated with various cellular processes involved in wou...
