The Materials Map is an open tool for improving networking and interdisciplinary exchange within materials research. It enables cross-database search for cooperation and network partners and discovering of the research landscape.

The dashboard provides detailed information about the selected scientist, e.g. publications. The dashboard can be filtered and shows the relationship to co-authors in different diagrams. In addition, a link is provided to find contact information.

Materials Map under construction

The Materials Map is still under development. In its current state, it is only based on one single data source and, thus, incomplete and contains duplicates. We are working on incorporating new open data sources like ORCID to improve the quality and the timeliness of our data. We will update Materials Map as soon as possible and kindly ask for your patience.

Abstract

The topography of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a major biophysical regulator of cell behavior. While this has inspired the design of cell-instructive biomaterials, the ability to present topographic cues to cells in a true 3D setting remains challenging, particularly in ECM-like hydrogels made from a single polymer. Herein, we report the design of microstructured alginate hydrogels for injectable cell delivery and show their ability to orchestrate morphogenesis via cellular contact guidance in 3D. Alginate was grafted with hydrophobic cyclooctyne groups (ALG-K), yielding amphiphilic derivatives with self-associative potential and ionic crosslinking ability. This allowed the formation of microstructured ALG-KH hydrogels, triggered by the spontaneous segregation between hydrophobic/hydrophilic regions of the polymer that generated 3D networks with stiffer microdomains within a softer lattice. The azide-reactivity of cyclooctynes also allowed ALG-K functionalization with bioactive peptides via cytocompatible strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC). Hydrogel-embedded mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were able to integrate spatial information and to mechano-sense the 3D topography, which regulated cell shape and stress fiber organization. MSCs clusters initially formed on microstructured regions could then act as seeds for neo-tissue formation, inducing cells to produce their own ECM and self-organize into multicellular structures throughout the hydrogel. By combining 3D topography, click functionalization, and injectability, using a single polymer, ALG-K hydrogels provide a unique cell delivery platform for tissue regeneration.
