  • HYDROGEL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20230365940
    Abstract: A two-component hydrogel matrix system is provided, which system is useful in a variety of cell growth uses, including without limitation three-dimensional culture systems. The components comprise modified hyaluronic acid (HA); and modified elastin-like proteins (ELP). Variables of HELP, including for example, matrix stiffness, matrix stress relaxation rate, and cell-adhesive-ligand concentration, can be independently and quantitatively specified.

  • HYDROGELS FOR IN SITU-FORMING TISSUE CONSTRUCTS
    Publication number: 20230263943
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for lamellar and defect reconstruction of corneal stromal tissue using biomaterials that form a defined hydrogel structure in situ, including interpenetrating (IPN) and semi-IPN hydrogels.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 29, 2021
    Publication date: August 24, 2023

  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IN SITU-FORMING TISSUE CONSTRUCTS
    Publication number: 20210244659
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for lamellar and defect reconstruction of corneal stromal tissue using biomaterials that form a defined gel structure in situ. Such gels can serve as cellular or acellular lamellar substitutes to reconstruct corneal stroma, facilitate matrix remodeling, and support multilayered re-epithelialization of wounded corneal stromal tissue, as well delivery vehicles for cells, biomolecules, and/or pharmaceutical agents to wound sites throughout the body.
