Ultrasound (US)-responsive carriers have emerged as promising theranostic candidates
because of their ability to enhance US-contrast, promote image-guided drug delivery, cause …

Hydrogels have been promising candidate scaffolds for cell delivery and tissue engineering
due to their tissue-like physical properties and capability for homogeneous cell loading …

Ultrasound is an important local stimulus for triggering drug release at the target tissue.
Ultrasound-responsive drug delivery systems (URDDS) have become an important research …

Introduction Delivering sufficient therapeutics at the target site without off-target effects is a
major goal of drug delivery technology innovation. Among the established methods …

Hydrogels are good candidate materials for cell delivery scaffolds because they can mimic
the physical, chemical, electrical and biological properties of most of the native tissues. In …

Wound healing is regulated by temporally and spatially restricted patterns of growth factor
signaling, but there are few delivery vehicles capable of the “on-demand” release necessary …

This work presents an investigation of the effect of various surfactants on microbubble
formation, size and stability in a capillary embedded T-Junction microfluidic device. Four …

Microporosity in hydrogels is critical for directing tissue formation and function. We have
developed a fibrin-based smart hydrogel, termed an acoustically responsive scaffold (ARS) …

The design of 3D scaffolds is a crucial step in the field of regenerative medicine. Scaffolds
should be degradable and bioresorbable as well as display good porosity, interconnecting …

The increasing incidence of osteoarthritis (OA) seriously affects life quality, posing a huge
socioeconomic burden. Tissue engineering technology has become a hot topic in articular …
