Degradable and cell-compatible hydrogels can be designed to mimic the physical and
biochemical characteristics of native extracellular matrices and provide tunability of …

There is a growing need for biocompatible click reactions in order to prepare multifunctional
conjugates, which are valuable molecules for innovative biomedical applications. In this …

Despite originating only a little more than a decade ago, click chemistry has become one of
the most powerful paradigms in materials science, synthesis, and modification. By …

The concept of orthogonality has been applied to many areas of chemistry, ranging from
wave functions to chromatography. But it was Barany and Merrifield's orthogonal protecting …

This year, it has been a decade that the concept of “click” chemistry was pioneered in
polymer and material science by the exploration of the synthetic scope of copper-catalyzed …

The synthesis of new, highly functional and dynamic polymeric materials has risen
dramatically since the introduction of click chemistry in 2001. This diverse set of reactions …

In the last decade, interest in the functionalization of surfaces and materials has increased
dramatically. In this regard, click chemistry deserves a central focus because of its mild …

Selective modification of natural proteins is a daunting methodological challenge and a
stringent test of selectivity and reaction scope. There is a continued need for new reactivity …

This review summarizes the use of electron beam (e-beam) lithography to pattern
biomolecules on surfaces. The focus is on approaches that employ poly (ethylene …

Due to their mechanical and structural similarity to native tissues, hydrogel biomaterials
have gained tremendous popularity for applications in 3D tissue culture, therapeutic …
