A novel photogelling mechanism by the phototriggered-imine-crosslinking (PIC) reaction is demonstrated. Hyaluronic acid grafted with o-nitrobenzene, a photogenerated aldehyde group, can quickly photo-crosslink with amino-bearing polymers or proteins. Once the in situ photogelling on a wound occurs, the PIC gelling process can well integrate a hydrogel with surrounding tissue by covalent bonding, thus making it a powerful tool for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
本文展示了一种新颖的光引发肟交联(PIC)反应的光致凝胶机制。具有邻硝基苯甲醛光生醛基的透明质酸可以快速与含氨基的聚合物或蛋白质进行光交联。一旦在伤口上发生原位光致凝胶化,PIC 凝胶化过程可以通过共价键将水凝胶与周围组织很好地整合在一起,因此成为组织工程和再生医学的有力工具。
