4. Exploration of bioactive additives for hyaluronan based hydrogels : A literature study
University essay fromAbstract : Hyaluronan (HA) is a substance that is commonly used in biomedical applications in the form of hydrogels. One of these biomedical applications is dermatological fillers where HA is cross-linked with 1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) to reduce its rapid turnover within tissue. The filler gives a volumetric effect that can fill out wrinkles. READ MORE

5. Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel as a Scaffold for Cells’ Encapsulation
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för materialvetenskapAbstract : Hydrogels are high water-content polymers that mimic the extracellular matrix of cells. The polymers can have many sources and be of natural origin from the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cells or be synthetically derived. READ MORE
