Nanogels and microgels are soft, deformable, and penetrable objects with an internal gel-
like structure that is swollen by the dispersing solvent. Their softness and the potential to …

The development of techniques to create and use multiphase microstructured hydrogels
(granular hydrogels or microgels) has enabled the generation of cultures with more …

In this study, an injectable, photocurable gelatin system, consisting of acrylated gelatin and
thiolated gelatin, with tunable mechanical, biodegradation, and biological properties was …

There exists a clear clinical need for adipose tissue reconstruction strategies to repair soft
tissue defects which outperform the currently available approaches. In this respect, additive …

The assembly of microgel building blocks into 3D scaffolds is an emerging strategy for tissue
engineering. A key advantage is that the inherent microporosity of these scaffolds provides …

Injectable hydrogels can be useful tools for facilitating wound healing since they conform to
the irregular shapes of wounds, serving as a temporary matrix during the healing process …

Vocal folds are soft laryngeal connective tissues with distinct layered structures and complex
multicomponent matrix compositions that endow phonatory and respiratory functions. This …

Schwann cells (SCs) are a highly plastic cell type capable of undergoing phenotypic
changes following injury or disease. SCs are able to upregulate genes associated with …

Schwann cells are glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. They exist in several
subtypes and perform a variety of functions in nerves. Their derivation and culture in vitro are …

Peripheral nerve damage results in the loss of sensorimotor and autonomic functions, which
is a significant burden to patients. Furthermore, nerve injuries greater than the limiting gap …
