Highly Elastic Biomaterial Development for the Lower Urinary Tract (UCLA Case No. 2024-060)
Summary: UCLA researchers in the Departments of Urology and Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering have developed biomimetic, elastic biomaterial for use in urinary tract reconstruction. Background: Lower urinary tract (LUT) reconstructions have a high failure rate leading to complications including urinary tract infections and leakage. There is...

Biopolymer Drug Loading Method
Poly (Glycerol Sebacate) (PGS) is a newly developed, biodegradable elastic polymer that has tunable mechanical properties, good biocompatibility, and a surface degradation profile making it favorable in many tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. In order to functionalize the PGS material, it is necessary to load drugs and active molecules...
