Stiffness-Dependent Mechanotransductive Signaling in Silicone Implant-Associated Fibrotic Encapsulation

Abstract Fibrotic encapsulation remains a major limitation of silicone-based soft-tissue implants and contributes to capsular contracture. Although biochemical and immunological factors have been extensively investigated, the contribution of implant stiffness to the peri-implant...

AlkylsuccinylatedBentonite–GelMA Hybrid Hydrogelsfor Enhanced Mechanics and Osteogenic Drug Delivery

Abstract Bentonite is an attractive inorganic material for biomedical applications owing to its biocompatibility and large surface area. Here, we report a straightforward yet effective alkylsuccinylation strategy to tailor the bentonite surface with hydrophobic functionalities. S...
