    Abstract: A microporous gel system for certain applications, including biomedical applications, includes an aqueous solution containing plurality of microgel particles including a biodegradable crosslinker. In some aspects, the microgel particles act as gel building blocks that anneal to one another to form a covalently-stabilized scaffold of microgel particles having interstitial spaces therein. In certain aspects, annealing of the microgel particles occurs after exposure to an annealing agent that is endogenously present or exogenously added. In some embodiments, annealing of the microgel particles requires the presence of an initiator such as exposure to light. In particular embodiments, the chemical and physical properties of the gel building blocks can be controlled to allow downstream control of the resulting assembled scaffold. In one or more embodiments, cells are able to quickly infiltrate the interstitial spaces of the assembled scaffold.

    Abstract translation: 用于某些应用(包括生物医学应用)的微孔凝胶体系包括含有多个包含可生物降解交联剂的微凝胶颗粒的水溶液。 在一些方面,微凝胶颗粒作为凝胶结构单元,其彼此退火以形成其中具有间隙空间的微凝胶颗粒的共价稳定的支架。 在某些方面,微凝胶颗粒的退火在暴露于内源存在或外源添加的退火剂之后发生。 在一些实施方案中,微凝胶颗粒的退火需要引发剂的存在,例如暴露于光。 在具体实施方案中,可以控制凝胶结构单元的化学和物理性质以允许下游控制所得的组装的支架。 在一个或多个实施方案中,细胞能够快速渗透组装的支架的间隙空间。
