Bio-origami hydrogel scaffolds composed of photocrosslinked PEG bilayers
Mustapha Jamal,Sachin Kadam,Rui Xiao,Faraz Jivan,Tzia Ming Onn,Rohan Fernandes,Thao D. Nguyen,David H. Gracias +7 more
TL;DR: The self‐folding of photopatterned poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐based hydrogel bilayers into curved and anatomically relevant micrometer‐scale geometries is described and a finite element model which predicts radii of curvature that is in good agreement with empirical results is developed.

Sequential Thiol–Ene and Tetrazine Click Reactions for the Polymerization and Functionalization of Hydrogel Microparticles
Faraz Jivan,Ramanathan Yegappan,Hannah A. Pearce,James K. Carrow,Michael J. McShane,Akhilesh K. Gaharwar,Daniel L. Alge +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that protein-functionalized hydrogel microparticles with tunable bioactive properties can be easily synthesized using sequential click chemistry reactions, which has potential in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and biosensing.

Hydrogel Synthesis and Stabilization via Tetrazine Click-Induced Secondary Interactions.
TL;DR: The discovery of tetrazine click-induced secondary interactions is reported as a promising new tool for polymeric biomaterial synthesis and is shown to yield robust gels with storage moduli one to two orders of magnitude higher than other non-covalent crosslinking methods.
