23 Jul ZWITTERIONIC HYDROGELS FOR DELIVERY OF BIOMOLECULES
Abstract
The invention provides a novel approach in which zwitterionic networks are used to sequester and deliver ionic biomolecules, such as proteins, without compromising their native conformation and bioactivity. Zwitterionic networks are designed to effectively retain and deliver ionic or polar biomolecules for guided tissue regeneration. The invention represents a conceptual advance and enables a novel strategy for the utilization of zwitterionic motifs as therapeutics delivery vehicles and tissue engineering scaffolds.
