Development of Cellulose-Based, Semi-Interpenetrating Network Hydrogels as Tissue-Adhesive, Thermoresponsive, Injectable Implants
… implant stabilization and retention. Biological adhesives (i.e., fibrin glue) have been used for internal fixation of implants (e.g., hernia meshes) but lack long-term stability due to enzymatic degradation. A potential strategy may involve controlled oxidation of cellulosic polysaccharides …
