Polymeric materials produced from fossil fuels have been intimately linked to the
development of industrial activities in the 20th century and, consequently, to the …

Bioadhesives have emerged as transformative and versatile tools in healthcare, offering the
ability to attach tissues with ease and minimal damage. These materials present numerous …

Given their durability and long‐term stability, self‐healable hydrogels have, in the past few
years, emerged as promising replacements for the many brittle hydrogels currently being …

BACKGROUND Hydrogels are formed through the cross-linking of hydrophilic polymer
chains within an aqueous microenvironment. The gelation can be achieved through a …

Hydrogel-based bioadhesives have emerged as alternatives for sutureless wound closure,
since they can mimic the composition and physicochemical properties of the extracellular …

employ different technologies for deposition and patterning of bioinks in 3D printing such as …

Bioprinting has emerged as an advanced method for fabricating complex 3D tissues.
Despite the tremendous potential of 3D bioprinting, there are several drawbacks of current …

Surgical sealants have been used for sealing or reconnecting ruptured tissues but often
have low adhesion, inappropriate mechanical strength, cytotoxicity concerns, and poor …

Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer‐based materials with high water content and physical
characteristics that resemble the native extracellular matrix. Because of their remarkable …

Photocrosslinkable materials have been frequently used for constructing soft and biomimetic
hydrogels for tissue engineering. Although ultraviolet (UV) light is commonly used for …
