Hydrogels, based on polyacrylic acid and various macrodiisocyanates that contain polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol or polytetramethylene glycol in the main chain are synthesized. The obtained hydrogels are studied as possible polymer carriers of drug substances. Etophylin was applied as a model drug. It is exposed that the etophylin release rate from the hydrogel depends on the way of drug comprise in the polymer net, from its density from the chemical nature of the crosslinking agent and from the pH of the environment. The carried out studies let us to conclude that the obtained hydrogels are possible materials as drug carriers.

Purpose Of The Study: The preclinical study aimed to compare the healing of segmental bone defects treated with biodegradable hyaluronic acid and tricalcium phosphate-based hydrogel with the established autologous spongioplasty. Another aim was to evaluate the hydrogel as a scaffold for osteoinductive growth factor of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) and stem cells.
Material And Methods: The study was conducted in an in vivo animal model.

The present study aimed to investigate the role of a recombinant protein based on human collagen type I (RCPhC1) as a scaffold in maintaining the human tumor microenvironment within a patient-derived tumor xenograft (PDTX) model. RCPhC1, synthesized under animal component-free conditions, was explored for its potential to support the human-specific stroma associated with tumor growth. PDTX models were established using resected colorectal cancer liver metastasis specimens, and stromal cell populations from humans and mice were compared using three scaffolds: No scaffold (control), Matrigel and recombinant human collagen type I, across two passages.

Large bone defects are still a persistent challenge in orthopedics. The availability limitations and associated complications of autologous and allogeneic bone have prompted an increasing reliance on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. In this study, we developed an injectable scaffold combining an acellular extracellular periosteal matrix hydrogel with poly(d,l-lactate--glycol-acetate) microspheres loaded with the E7 peptide and miR217 (miR217/E7@MP-GEL).

Guiding molecular assembly of peptides into rationally engineered nanostructures remains a major hurdle against the development of functional peptide-based nanomaterials. Various non-covalent interactions come into play to drive the formation and stabilization of these assemblies, of which electrostatic interactions are key. Here, the atomistic mechanisms by which electrostatic interactions contribute toward controlling self-assembly and lateral association of ultrashort β-sheet forming peptides are deciphered.
