A pH- and ionic strength-responsive polypeptide hydrogel: Synthesis, characterization, and preliminary protein release studies
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-12-15)
A novel polypeptide hydrogel has been synthesized by crosslinking poly(L-glutamic acid) (PLG) with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The PLG-PEG hydrogel was shown to be highly hydrophilic, and the extent of swelling varied ...
Porous poly( L -lactic acid)/apatite composites created by biomimetic process
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-06-15)
Highly porous poly( L -lactic acid)/apatite composites were prepared through in situ formation of carbonated apatite onto poly( L -lactic acid) foams in a simulated body fluid. The highly porous polymer foams (up to 95% ...
Poly(Α-hydroxyl acids)/hydroxyapatite porous composites for bone-tissue engineering. I. Preparation and morphology
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-03-15)
Tissue engineering has shown great promise for creating biological alternatives for implants. In this approach, scaffolding plays a pivotal role. Hydroxyapatite mimics the natural bone mineral and has shown good bone-bonding ...
Synthetic nano-scale fibrous extracellular matrix
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-07)
Biodegradable polymers have been widely used as scaffolding materials to regenerate new tissues. To mimic natural extracellular matrix architecture, a novel highly porous structure, which is a three-dimensional interconnected ...
