We sought to develop bioactive hydrogels to facilitate arterial healing, e.g., after balloon angioplasty. Toward this end, we developed a new class of proteolytically sensitive, biol. active polyethylene glycol (PEG)-peptide hydrogels that can be formed in ...
A review with 6 refs. of the use of adherent polymer hydrogels to prevent attachment of platelets to artery walls. Adhesion peptides incorporated in these hydrogels may further inhibit thrombogenesis and addnl. promote reendothelialization. Hydrogels with ...
Biomaterials play a pivotal role in field of tissue engineering. Biomimetic synthetic polymers have been created to elicit specific cellular functions and to direct cell-cell interactions both in implants that are initially cell-free, which may serve as ma ...
This report will focus on creation of nanostructured PDMS surfaces with tunable feature dimensions and periodicities, and the use of these surfaces to study the influence of nanotopography on cell-substrate interactions. The topography on surfaces is known ...
An increasing number of patients are being treated with growth hormone (GH) for the enhancement of body growth but also as an anti-aging strategy. However, the side effects of GH have been poorly defined. In this study we determined the effect of GH on wou ...

Myofibroblasts are specialized fibroblasts that contribute to wound healing by producing extracellular matrix and by contracting the granulation tissue. They appear in a phase of wound healing when the dermis strongly interacts with activated epidermal ker ...
We show here that the alpha, beta, and gamma isotypes of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) are expressed in the mouse epidermis during fetal development and that they disappear progressively from the interfollicular epithelium after birth. ...
