Abstract

Adhesive hydrogels have gained great interest for biomedical applications, because of their great adhesion, tunable structure, high water content, and biocompatibility. However, it is still challenging to engineer hydrogel materials combining tissue repairs and strain sensors. In this work, poly(thioctic acid) (PTA) is used as a skeleton structure and mixed with polydopamine (PDA), resulting in hydrogels with excellent stretchability, resilience, and adhesion, which can adhere to various organic (porcine skin) and inorganic materials (ceramic, wood, glass, etc.) in both dry and wet environments. The hydrogels also exhibit antiswelling behavior, self-healing, and repeatable adhesion capacity (seven times), which are meaningful for bioapplications and show satisfactory biocompatibility, biodegradation, cell affinity, and ability to limit apoptosis in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. In the full-thickness skin defect model, the hydrogels can accelerate the wound healing process. The introduction of Fe3+ can significantly enhance the conductivity of the hydrogels, making it possible for the hydrogels to be used as strain sensors. This functional hydrogel may find an appealing application as an antiswelling and durability adhe...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
