Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) properties for biomedical micro/nanosystems.
TL;DR: PDMS surface hydrophilicity and micro-textures were generally unaffected when exposed to the different chemicals, except for micro-texture changes after immersion in potassium hydroxide and buffered hydrofluoric, nitric, sulfuric, and hydrofluic acids.
Journal ArticleDOI
A self-assembly pathway to aligned monodomain gels
Shuming Zhang,Megan A. Greenfield,Alvaro Mata,Liam C. Palmer,Ronit Bitton,Jason R. Mantei,Conrado Aparicio,Monica Olvera de la Cruz,Samuel I. Stupp +8 more
TL;DR: The nature of the self-assembly process and its biocompatibility would allow formation of cellular wires in situ that have any length and customized peptide compositions for use in biological applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-Assembly of Large and Small Molecules into Hierarchically Ordered Sacs and Membranes
Ramille M. Capito,Helena S. Azevedo,Helena S. Azevedo,Yuri S. Velichko,Alvaro Mata,Samuel I. Stupp +5 more
TL;DR: These robust, self-sealing macroscopic structures offer opportunities in many areas, including the formation of privileged environments for cells, immune barriers, new biological assays, and self-assembly of ordered thick membranes for diverse applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue engineering for articular cartilage repair--the state of the art.
Brian Johnstone,Mauro Alini,Magali Cucchiarini,George R. Dodge,David Eglin,Farshid Guilak,Henning Madry,Alvaro Mata,Robert L. Mauck,Carlos E. Semino,Martin J. Stoddart +10 more
TL;DR: The complexity of this problem suggests that a multidisciplinary approach - combining a clinical perspective with expertise in cell biology, biomechanics, biomaterials science and high-throughput analysis will likely be necessary to address the challenge of developing functional cartilage replacements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bone regeneration mediated by biomimetic mineralization of a nanofiber matrix.
Alvaro Mata,Yanbiao Geng,Karl Henrikson,Conrado Aparicio,Stuart R. Stock,Robert L. Satcher,Robert L. Satcher,Samuel I. Stupp +7 more
TL;DR: The use of self-assembling peptide nanostructured gels to promote bone regeneration that have the capacity to mineralize in biomimetic fashion is reported on.
