2. 1. Hyaluronan Derivatives and Injectable Gels for Tissue Engineering

   University dissertation from Uppsala : Universitetsbiblioteket

   Author : Kristoffer Bergman; Tim Bowden; Jöns Hilborn; Jeffrey Hubbell; [2008]
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Hyaluronan; Hydrogel; Tissue Engineering; Scaffold; Minimally invasive strategy; Bone morphogenetic protein; Hydroxyapatite; Bone; Cartilage; Tendon; NATURAL SCIENCES Chemistry Organic chemistry Polymer chemistry; NATURVETENSKAP Kemi Organisk kemi Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : The present work describes the preparation of hyaluronan derivatives and hydrogels with potential use in tissue engineering applications. A potentially injectable hydrogel consisting of hyaluronan and collagen was successfully used to grow neurons in vitro by encapsulation of neural stem and progenitor cells. READ MORE
