Hydrogel Microfibers: Embolization of Vascular Malformations via In Situ Photocrosslinking of Mechanically Reinforced Alginate Microfibers using an Optical‐Fiber‐Integrated Microfluidic Device (Adv. Mater. 14/2021)
Source abstract
Abstract
In article number 2006759, Hyung Joon Cha, Joonwon Kim, and co-workers develop an optical-fiber-integrated microfluidic device that can continuously form hydrogel microfibers via in situ photo-crosslinking in extreme endovascular environments. The hydrogel microfibers are based on a double-crosslinked alginate that employs the dityrosine bond. This microfluidic device with hydrogel microfibers is an attractive strategy to fill aneurysms effectively.
