Abstract: Novel dendritic polymers are employed to clinically seal or repair wounds and treat traumatized or degenerative tissue. Novel crosslinkable biopolymers such as dendritic macromolecules are used in vitro, in vivo and in situ to treat ophthalmological, orthopaedic, cardiovascular, plastic surgery, pulmonary or urinary wounds or injuries. The crosslinkable dendritic macromolecules can be fabricated into cell scaffold/gel/matrix of specified shapes and sizes using one-photon and multi-photon spectroscopic techniques. The crosslinked polymers can be seeded with cells and used to repair or replace organs, tissues or bones. Alternatively, the polymers and cells can be mixed and injected into the in vivo site and crosslinked in situ for organ, tissue or bone repair or replacement.
