Thermoresponsive, injectable citrate nanocomposite hydrogel for sustained protein delivery in injured environments
Source abstract
Abstract
Nanocomposite hydrogels can act as functional biomaterials to improve the local microenvironment and sustain release of therapeutics at an injury site. Below we highlight the development of a thermoresponsive, injectable poly(poly(ethylene gly co l citrate)- co -N-isopropylacrylamide (PPCN) hydrogel incorporating polyethylene glycol-b-polylactic acid polymersomes that can scavenge free radical oxygen species, chelate iron, and extend protein release and could treat harmful injuries.
