Hydrogels, being hydrophilic polymer networks capable of absorbing and retaining aqueous
fluids, hold significant promise in biomedical applications owing to their high water content …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is widely distributed in the human body, and it is heavily involved in
many physiological functions such as tissue hydration, wound repair, and cell migration. In …

Cell-based therapies for articular cartilage lesions are expensive and time-consuming;
clearly, a one-step procedure to induce endogenous repair would have significant clinical …

The rapid detection of biomolecule levels in the human body is often required to monitor
human health. Although swellable microneedle arrays are widely used to extract …

Advances in vibrational spectroscopy have propelled new insights into the molecular
composition and structure of biological tissues. In this review, we discuss common …

Scars composed of fibrous connective tissues are natural consequences of injury upon
incisional wound healing in soft tissues. Hydrogels that feature a sustained presentation of …

Osteoporosis is a disease characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density, thereby
increasing the risk of sustaining a fragility fracture. Most medical therapies are systemic and …

Although photopolymerization reactions are commonly used to form hydrogels, these
strategies rely on light and may not be suitable for delivering therapeutics in a minimally …

To improve the mechanical performance of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based hydrogels, we
prepared novel hybrid hydrogels consisting of hydrophilic HA and hydrophobic poly …

Materials based on hyaluronic acid (HA) are extensively used in tissue engineering as
scaffolds. Photoinduced crosslinking is one way to prepare them, and, for this, HA must be …
