제목 Artificial hypoxic microenvironments for vascular tissue regeneration
초록 Oxygen is vital for the existence of all multicellular organisms, acting as a signaling molecule regulating cellular activities. In particular, hypoxia is recognized as a key regulator that promotes vascular development in various biological processes. Here we report a hypoxia-inducible (HI) hydrogels that can form hydrogel networks via oxygen consumption in a laccase-mediated reaction. Oxygen levels and gradients within the hydrogels can be accurately controlled and precisely predicted. We demonstrate that HI hydrogels guide vascular morphogenesis in vitro via hypoxia-inducible factors activation and promote rapid neovascularization from the host tissue during subcutaneous wound healing. The HI hydrogel is a new class of biomaterials that may prove useful in many applications, ranging from fundamental studies of developmental, regenerative and disease processes through the engineering of healthy and diseased tissue models towards the treatment of hypoxia- regulated disorders.
