Fabrication of anisotropic hydrogels exhibiting direction-dependent structure and properties
has attracted great interest in biomimicking, tissue engineering, and bioseparation. Herein, …

While injectable hydrogels have several advantages in the context of biomedical use, their
generally weak mechanical properties often limit their applications. Herein, we describe in situ…

While injectable in situ cross-linking hydrogels have attracted increasing attention as minimally
invasive tissue scaffolds and controlled delivery systems, their inherently disorganized …

BACKGROUND: Unprecedented demand for N95 respirators during the coronavirus disease
2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a global shortage of these masks. We validated a …

Local application of exogenous agents with neurotrophic properties enhances the regenerative
capacity of injured neurons, especially following reconstructions of long nerve gaps and …

Administration of FK506, an FDA approved immunosuppressant, has been shown to enhance
nerve regeneration following peripheral nerve injuries. However, the severe side effects of …

Objective Nerve allografts offer many advantages in the reconstruction of peripheral nerve
gaps: they retain their native microstructure, contain pro-regenerative Schwann cells, are …

Nerve graft reconstruction of gap defects may result in poor clinical outcomes, particularly
with long regeneration distances. Electrical stimulation (ES) of nerves may improve outcomes …

Structured hydrogel sheets offer the potential to mimic the mechanics and morphology of
native cell environments in vitro; however, controlling the morphology of such sheets across …

Background Obstetrical complications affect more than a third of women globally, but are
underrepresented in clinical research. Little is known about the comprehensive obstetrical …
