The natural extracellular matrix (ECM) is a highly dynamic, supramolecular structure composed of various bioactive molecules held together by specific interactions. The ECM directly interacts with cells and dictates cell behavior to a large extend. Our goal is to synthetically mimic this intricate natural system using supramolecular materials based on hydrogen bonding units. The dynamics of...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived kidney organoids have prospective applications ranging from basic disease modelling to personalised medicine, however, there remains a requirement to refine the biophysical and biochemical parameters that govern kidney organoid formation. Here we describe the differention and maturation of hiPSC-derived kidney organoids within fully synthetic...

Patients requiring soft tissue reconstruction caused by defects or pathology may require biomaterials that provide a void volume for subsequent vascularization and new tissue formation, as autografts are not always a viable option. Here supramolecular hydrogels represent promising candidates due to their 3D structure being similar to the native extracellular matrix and their... -

"After decades of cutting-edge academic work, novel electrospun biomaterials are finally starting to enter clinics and patients worldwide. The process of taking an electrospun material from the lab, to the clinic, and finally to market is long and difficult. It requires the collaboration of many professionals over the course of years. But what it creates are world-class, ground-breaking...

"INTRODUCTION: The use of biomaterials inside the body always entails the risk of infection. This risk might even be higher in in situ tissue engineering applications. Since the porous scaffold materials can form a niche for invading bacteria, the intended in situ production of novel tissue may be severely compromised by infection. Therefore, we aim to develop a new polymeric supramolecular...

Current treatments for oesophageal cancer and oesophageal atresia, that involves the repair of the entire thickness of the oesophagus, present various complications and challenges due to the lack of functional oesophageal replacement tissue. Through the combination of cells, scaffolds and biologically active molecules, tissue engineering presents an innovative approach to... -

Delayed or severed tissue regeneration is often caused by dysfunctional immune system.[1] One solution to tackle this issue is to design immunomodulatory materials that support tissue regeneration by priming immune system to a pro-regenerative state.[2] For example, it is known that high molecular weight (>1000 kDa) hyaluronic acid (HA) can polarize macrophages to an M2...
