Biodegradable Polymeric Biomaterials in Different Forms for Long-acting Contraception and Drug Delivery to the Eye and Brain
… In the recent decades, biodegradable polymeric drug delivery systems have emerged as promising candidates to solve the challenges of poor solubility, low permeability and sustained release owing to the advantages of biocompatibility, versatility, and tunable drug release. Polyesters …

Differenziamento macrofagico: gli effetti dei polimeri sintetici
… as cardiovascular prostheses. Two classes of polymeric biomaterials seem to meet better these requirements: “hydrogels” , which includes polyalkylimide (PAI) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and “elastomers”, which includes polyurethanes (PUs). The first ones in the last decade have had a great …

Trigger-responsive nanomedicines through controlled chemistry
… prodrug design, a trigger-responsive amphiphilic polymeric nano-assembly is also explored for cancer treatment based on thiol-responsive chain-shattering polymeric therapeutics. The polymeric therapeutics showed controlled self-assembly behavior and good in vivo anti-tumor efficacy. To develop …

Step-growth thiol-ene photopolymerization to form degradable, cytocompatible and multi-structural hydrogels
… engineering and controlled release applications. Polymeric biomaterials with high cytocompatibility, versatile degradation behaviors, and diverse material properties are particularly useful in studying cell fate processes. In recent years, step-growth thiol-ene photochemistry has been utilized to …

Toll-like receptor mediated responses to adsorbed damage-associated molecular patterns on biomaterial surfaces
… accepted that the host response to implanted biomaterials is largely dependent on the species and conformations of proteins adsorbed onto the material surface, due to the adsorbate’s role in mediating cellular interactions with the implanted material. While the cellular response to adsorbed …
