TL;DR: The use of these degradable alginate‐derived hydrogels greatly improved cartilage‐like tissue formation in vivo, as compared toAlginate hydrogel, which degraded with a rate depending on the pH and temperature of the solution.

TL;DR: Findings demonstrate that biomaterials may be designed to control bone development from transplanted cells, as well as demonstrate that adhesion ligands covalently coupled to hydrogel carriers would allow one to control pre-osteoblast cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation.

TL;DR: These photocrosslinked alginate hydrogels, with tailorable mechanical properties and degradation rates, may find great utility as therapeutic materials in regenerative medicine and bioactive factor delivery.

TL;DR: Test data demonstrate that appropriate combinations of soluble and biomaterial-mediated regulatory signals in cell-based tissue engineering systems can result in both more efficient and more effective tissue regeneration.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that tissues capable of growing with time could be engineered by supplying growth stimulus signals to cells from the biomaterial used for cell transplantation, and this concept of promoting the growth of engineered tissues could find great utility in engineering numerous tissue types by way of the transplantation of a small number of precursor cells.
