Hydrogels are crosslinked polymer chains with three-dimensional (3D) network structures,
which can absorb relatively large amounts of fluid. Because of the high water content, soft …

Microgel assembly, a macroscopic aggregate formed by bottom-up assembly of microgels, is
now emerging as prospective biomaterials for applications in tissue engineering and …

In this study, MgO-doped CNC-g-PAA hydrogel was synthesized by grafting poly (acrylic
acid)(PAA) onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and then doped Magnesium oxide (MgO) …

Endothelial cells (ECs) lining all blood vessels are subjected to large mechanical stresses
that regulate their structure and function in health and disease. Here, we review EC …

In recent years, cellulose has attracted much attention because of its excellent properties,
such as its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, biodegradability, biocompatibility, low cost …

Nanocellulose (NC) has lately appeared as a member of the major promising “green”
