چکیده
A supramolecular hydrogel formed by dipeptide Gly-Ala linked with biphenyl-substituted tetrazole serves not only as a 3D matrix for live cells, but also as a carrier to deliver microRNA into the encapsulated cells.

P-131: Autologous Transplantation Encapsulated Preantral Follicles into Fibrin Hydrogel Supplemented with Platelet Lysate
Background: Recent improvement in treatments of cancer has significantly increased survival rates of cancer patients. Unfortunately these treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy can sever damage to the ovaries. Ovarian cryopreservation prior to chemo/ radiotherapy and auto-transplantation post-treatment can restore fertility to cancer patients. Hypoxia in the transplant from delayed re...
متن کاملA photo-degradable supramolecular hydrogel for selective delivery of microRNA into 3D-cultured cells.
Multi-functional supramolecular hydrogels have emerged as smart biomaterials for diverse biomedical applications. Here we report a multi-functional supramolecular hydrogel formed by the conjugate of the bioactive GRGDS peptide with biaryltetrazole that is the substrate of photo-click reaction. The hydrogel was used as a biocompatible matrix to encapsulate live cells for 3D culture. The presence...

A low-molecular-weight hydrogel derived from riboflavin (vitamin B(2)) that self-assembles to provide supramolecular nanofibers, biocompatible material, can be used to deliver VEGF-siRNA efficiently into human cells by the endocytosis pathway, where the siRNA is functionalized.
متن کاملThermo-sensitive hydrogels combined with decellularised matrix deliver bFGF for the functional recovery of rats after a spinal cord injury
Because of the short half-life, either systemic or local administration of bFGF shows significant drawbacks to spinal injury. In this study, an acellular spinal cord scaffold (ASC) was encapsulated in a thermo-sensitive hydrogel to overcome these limitations. The ASC was firstly prepared from the spinal cord of healthy rats and characterized by scanning electronic microscopy and immunohistochem...

Introduction: Ischemia followed by apoptosis and follicles mortality are problems that occur after cryopreservation and ovarian tissue transplantation. The present study used hyaluronic acid hydrogel as a capsule to reduce ischemia and apoptosis in vitrified ovarian tissue transplantation of rats. Material & Methods: In total, 22 adult female rats (~ 8-week old) with normal estrous cycle were o...
