Figure 3.

0th order hydrogel systems are summarized. (A) depicts a nanofiber-hydrogel composite that mimics soft tissue ECM through covalent interfacial bonding between electrospun PCL fibers and a HA hydrogel. [47] (B) Self-assembling peptide gels represent an injectable option [134], and have been used for mucosal regeneration and are sold commercially under the name PuraStat and PuraSinus. [126] C) Depicts Osmotic tissue expanders, sold under the trade name OSMED, which have been used for soft tissue expansion of the palate cleft. [138] (D) Outlines the design of a thermoresponsive gel for use in patients with ocular trauma. [66]
