Photocurable Thiol-yne Alginate Hydrogels for Regenerative Medicine Purposes.

ABSTRACT: Every year millions of people worldwide undergo surgical interventions, with the occurrence of mild or severe post-treatment consequences meaning that rehabilitation plays a key role in modern medicine. Considering the cases of burns and plastic surgery, the pressing need for new materials that can be used for wound patches or body fillers and are able to sustain tissue regeneration and promote cell adhesion and proliferation is clear. The challenges facing next-generation implant materials also include the need for improved structural properties for cellular organization and morphogenic guidance together with optimal mechanical, rheological, and topographical behavior. Herein, we propose for the first time a sodium alginate hydrogel obtained by a thiol-yne reaction, easily synthesized usi
