Applications of hydrogels for neural cell engineering.

摘要: Hydrogels, three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers, are currently being investigated for use in a variety tissue-engineering applications. Hydrogel materials generally exhibit number properties including permeability to oxygen and nutrients, which make these attractive biological However, order such polymers be successfully integrated into systems, constructs must engineered so as mimic native interfaces. In this paper we discuss the acrylate-based their derivatives, biomedical applications, drug delivery, tissue engineering, cell encapsulation, templates directed growth, attachment proliferation.
