TL;DR: This in vitro platform recapitulates primary aspects of the in vivo crosstalk between heart and liver and enables pharmacological studies, involving both organs in a single in vitro platforms, and enables non-invasive readouts of cardiotoxicity of drugs and their metabolites.

TL;DR: Preliminary cell studies show the non-cytotoxic nature of the polymers and their degradation products, as well as the cell adhesion and proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, a polymer for tissue engineering composed of biodegradable polyphosphazenes with photopolymerizable side groups was proposed, where the side groups of the polyphazenes are exclusively formed of amino acids and/or amino acid derivatives.

TL;DR: The basics of polyphosphazenes can be found in this paper, with a particular focus on some of the recent advances in their chemical synthesis, which allows not only the preparation of poly(organo)phosphasenes with controlled molecular weights and polydispersities, but also novel branched architectures and block copolymers.
