Hydrogel scaffolds that can repair or regrow damaged biological tissue have great potential
for the treatment of injury and disease. These biomaterials are widely used in the tissue …

In recent years, bone tissue engineering has emerged as a promising solution to the
limitations of current gold standard treatment options for bone related-disorders such as …

Recapitulation of complex tissues signifies a remarkable challenge and, to date, only a few
approaches have emerged that can efficiently reconstruct necessary gradients in 3D …

The rising incidence of bone disorders has resulted in the need for more effective therapies
to meet this demand, exacerbated by an increasing ageing population. Bone tissue …

The communication of cells with their surroundings is mostly encoded in the epitopes of
structural and signalling proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These peptide …

This article summarizes the recent progress in the design and synthesis of hydrogels as
tissue-engineering scaffolds. Hydrogels are attractive scaffolding materials owing to their …

The conjugation of biomolecules can impart materials with the bioactivity necessary to
modulate specific cell behaviors. While the biological roles of particular polypeptide …

In this review, we explore different approaches for introducing bioactivity into poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) hydrogels. Hydrogels are excellent scaffolding materials for repairing and …

Tissue regeneration is an auto-healing mechanism, initiating immediately following tissue
damage to restore normal tissue structure and function. This falls in line with survival instinct …

Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), a growth factor that induces osteoblast
differentiation and promotes bone regeneration, has been extensively investigated in bone …
