Gelatin Methacrylate Hydrogel for Tissue Engineering Applications-A Review on Material Modifications.

To recreate or substitute tissue in vivo is a complicated endeavor that requires biomaterials that can mimic the natural tissue environment. Gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) is created through covalent bonding of naturally derived polymer gelatin and methacrylic groups. Due to its biocompatibility, GelMA receives a lot of attention in the tissue engineering research field.

Gold Nanorod-Decorated Metallic MoS Nanosheets for Synergistic Photothermal and Photodynamic Antibacterial Therapy.

Light-responsive nanocomposites have become increasingly attractive in the biomedical field for antibacterial applications. Visible-light-activated metallic molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (1T-MoS NSs) and plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) with absorption at a wavelength of 808 nm were synthesized. AuNR nanocomposites decorated onto 1T-MoS NSs (MoS@AuNRs) were successfully prepared by electrostatic adsorption for phototherapy applications.
