A hydrogel formulation of oxidized dextrin is reticulated with adipic acid dihydrazide, which may embody polysaccharides, proteins, nanogels, granular materials, bioactive molecules and cells for tissue regeneration and controlled drug delivery. A hydrogel can be injectable, highly biocompatible and biodegradable, for tissue regenerative applications, performing simultaneously as a vehicle e.g. for nanogels, granular materials and cells, and as controlled drug delivery systems, e.g. of hydrophobic molecules and therapeutic proteins. |
