Comparison of Thiol-ene and Tetrazine Click Crosslinking of Gelatin Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering (2020-04-13)Chemically crosslinked gelatin hydrogels are popular biomaterials applied for uses such as 3D matrices for tissue engineering applications. Gelatin hydrogels can be chemically crosslinked using various reactions that fall ...
-
(2023-08-02)Hydrogels are widely used as scaffolds in tissue engineering. Designing biocompatible hydrogel platforms requires consideration of fabrication techniques and routes of administration. Click chemistries facilitate crosslinking ...
-
(2022-04-18)Engineered living materials (ELMs) that integrate living cells and synthetic materials have been created with stimuli-responsive capabilities. ELMs can harness the biological functions of cells and detect subtle changes ...
-
(2013-07-29)Current synthetic vascular grafts have high failure rates in small-diameter (<6 mm) applications due to inadequate cell-material interactions and poor matching of arterial biomechanical properties. To address this, we have ...
-
(2019-09-05)Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are unique for their high surface-to-volume ratio and high aspect ratio making them useful in a range of applications. Graphene and MXenes are such 2D nanosheets and have great potential ...
-
(2018-04-26)Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks that exhibit high biocompatibility due to their high water content. In applications such as musculoskeletal repair, their main limiting factor is their relatively low ...
-
(2019-06-17)Each year as cardiovascular disease continues to be one of the leading causes of death world wide, new treatment options are researched daily. For those whose cardiovascular disease progresses to end-stage heart failure, ...
-
(2019-04-22)Studies have indicated that the physical and chemical properties of scaffolds alone, without exogenous growth factors, can guide mesenchymal stem cell differentiation toward bone tissue regeneration. Ceramics, containing ...
-
(2023-07-23)Approaches to program the microstructure of hydrogels enable the control of cell-material interactions and the design of shape-changing materials. In this dissertation, we will investigate bottom-up strategies to program ...
-
(2017-05-03)The distribution of water within and its relation to the electrical impedance of electroconductive hydrogels (ECH) is of interest in developing stimuli-responsive hydrogel membranes for in-dwelling biomedical sensors. ...
