Polydopamine Coating-Mediated Immobilization of BMP-2 on Polyethylene Terephthalate-Based Artificial Ligaments for Enhanced Bioactivity

Zhanrong Kang et al.

Summary: The immobilization of BMP-2 mediated by polydopamine coating on PET artificial ligament surface could enhance the compatibility and bioactivity of the scaffolds and the graft-to-bone healing in vivo. In vitro experiments showed that grafts immobilized with BMP-2 could promote cell proliferation, attachment, and expression of osteogenic-related genes. In vivo experiments demonstrated that BMC-2 immobilized grafts significantly improved biomechanical properties, bone regeneration, and healing between grafts and host bone.

Hydrogel-mesh composite for wound closure

Yang Gao et al.

Summary: Surgical mesh is commonly fixed on tissues through fasteners, but may cause stress concentration and tissue damage. Hydrogel-mesh composites (HMCs) retain attributes of surgical mesh and add tissue adhesion capability. By soaking a surgical mesh with a precursor that forms a polymer network upon cure, HMCs can form covalent bonds with tissues, distributing force over a large area.
