Seawalls are important in protecting coastlines from currents, erosion, sea-level rise, and flooding. They are, however, associated with reduced biodiversity, due to their steep orientation, lack of microhabitats, and the materials used in their cons

Core-shell polymer microspheres with poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) core and poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) shell are developed for the long-term subconjunctival release of brimonidine tartrate (BT) in order to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in the

Aim: We aim to develop transparent UV-blocking photochromic soft contact lenses via polymerization of a bicontinuous nanoemulsion. Materials & methods: Transparent nanostructured polymers were prepared by incorporating a polymerizable surfactant and

Core-shell polymer microspheres with poly(d,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) core and poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) shell were developed for sustained release of bupivacaine for postoperative pain relief after knee surgery. The PLLA-rich shell acted as

The extracellular matrix (ECM) provides both molecular and physical cues that affect cell phenotype and function, and hence both normal and abnormal tissue development. The evolution of ECM mechanical properties with time is thus of great importance

Recent studies have demonstrated the effect of matrix stiffness on the phenotype and differentiation pathway of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSCs differentiated into neural, myogenic or osteogenic phenotypes depending on whether they were cultured

We have developed an injectable bone cement composed of nanocrystalline apatite and crosslinked hyaluronic acid-tyramine conjugates (HA-Tyr). This bone cement was formed via the oxidative coupling of tyramine moieties catalyzed by hydrogen peroxide (

Thixotropic materials, which become less viscous under stress and return to their original state when stress is removed, have been used to deliver gel-cell constructs and therapeutic agents. Here we show that a polymer-silica nanocomposite thixotropi

Chemotropic proteins guide neuronal projections to their final target during embryo development and are useful to guide axons of neurons used in transplantation therapies. Site-specific delivery of the proteins however is needed for their application
