Temperature-responsive biodegradable injectable polymers with tissue adhesive properties

Soichiro Fujiwara et al.

Summary: Injectable polymers (IPs) with in situ hydrogel formation are important for vascular embolization and postoperative adhesion prevention. Tissue adhesion properties are crucial, and the introduction of aldehyde groups can enhance these properties. The in vitro embolization properties of IPs can be improved by mixing with aldehyde-modified Pluronic, and the IP system shows good performance for postoperative adhesion prevention.

Decisive Influence of Hydrophobic Side Chains of Polyesters on Thermoinduced Gelation of Triblock Copolymer Aqueous Solutions

Kaiting Wu et al.

Summary: A series of amphiphilic triblock copolymers composed of poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone-co-5-alkyl delta-lactone)s with distinct alkyl side groups were synthesized. These copolymers exhibited different aqueous behaviors in response to temperature variations, such as forming a reversed thermosensitive hydrogel or a normal hydrogel, depending on the length of hydrophobic side chains.

Cellular therapy for myocardial ischemia using a temperature-responsive biodegradable injectable polymer system with adipose-derived stem cells

Yuta Yoshizaki et al.

Summary: Adipose-derived stem cells (AdSCs) have potential for regenerative medicine due to their ability to differentiate into various tissue cells and secrete paracrine factors. Injectable polymer systems using temperature-triggered chemically cross-linked gelation showed higher mRNA expression and growth factor secretion in AdSCs compared to physical hydrogels, leading to longer retention and recovery in ischemic heart models. This IP system holds promise for stem cell delivery in myocardial infarction treatment.
