Abstract: Disclosed herein are self-repairing biomimetic lubricant compounds, compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the same.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to polymer-based biomaterials for the systemic or localized delivery of osteoanabolic molecules, and their use in methods for treating and/or preventing bone degeneration and for promoting bone regeneration. In one aspect, the present invention provides a biomaterial comprising a polymer and a bioactive molecule binding moiety. In certain embodiments of the first aspect of the invention, the bioactive molecule binding moiety is an osteoanabolic molecule binding moiety.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polymer network comprising a compound of Formula I cross-linked to a compound selected from the group consisting of a compound of Formula II; hyaluronate aldehyde, alginate aldehyde, dextran aldehyde, starch aldehyde, and chitosan aldehyde. It also relates to a process of preparing the polymer network. The present disclosure further relates to compositions comprising the polymer network and methods of preventing conditions and diseases that are caused by micro-organism. The present disclosure still further relates to a biocompatible antimicrobial hydrogel, a process for preparing the hydrogel, and methods of using the same, including a variety of tissue-related applications in which rapid adhesion to the tissue and gel formation is desired, as well as local delivery of pharmaceutical drugs to a site of application.
