Hyaluronic acid: a natural biopolymer with a broad range of biomedical and industrial applications (2006, background): “Shu et al. (2004) described development of novel HA-based cross-linkable hydrogels that did not need surgical implantation, but were injectable and showed improved cytocompatibility with fibroblasts.”
Electrospinning: a fascinating fiber fabrication technique. (2010, background): “…is the main component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) of connective tissues, and has many important biological functions and is the most commonly used carbohydrate-based natural polymer in tissue engineering (Campoccia et al., 1998; Bulpitt and Aeschlimann, 1999; Shu et al., 2004).”
Hydrogels: Methods of Preparation, Characterisation and Applications (2011, positive): “hyaluronan (Kim et al., 2005; Shu et al., 2004) collagen (Drury & Mooney, 2003)”
Cell Encapsulation in Biodegradable Hydrogels for Tissue Engineering Applications (2008, positive): “The latter reaction scheme has been used in several cell encapsulation strategies.(24,28,109) For example, adipose-derived stem cells were encapsulated in these HA hydrogels in the presence or absence of a placental decellular matrix.”
