COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS TO CROSS LINK POLYMER FIBERS

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS TO CROSS LINK POLYMER FIBERS

Abstract

Novel compositions comprising genipin for cross-linking polymer fibers, are provided. In aspects of the invention the compositions further comprise a solvent system, wherein said solvent system comprises alcohol solvent and water. The genipin-based compositions are useful in methods for promoting the stabilization of fibers in an aqueous environment, and in tissue engineering. The novel genipin-based composition is also useful in methods of treating dermatological conditions.
