| Application: | • Photocurable Bioink for the Inkjet 3D Pharming of Hydrophilic Drugs.: This research discusses the development of a photocurable bioink using poly(ethylene glycol) dithiol for the inkjet 3D printing of hydrophilic drugs. The study highlights the biocompatibility and potential applications in drug delivery systems (Acosta-Vélez et al., 2017  ).• Enhanced mechanical properties of photo-clickable thiol-ene PEG hydrogels through repeated photopolymerization of in-swollen macromer.: This study examines the use of poly(ethylene glycol) dithiol in creating thiol-ene hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties. The repeated photopolymerization technique improves the hydrogel′s stability and applicability in medical devices and tissue engineering (Fiedler et al., 2016 ).• Degradative properties and cytocompatibility of a mixed-mode hydrogel containing oligo[poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate] and poly(ethylene glycol)dithiol.: The paper explores the degradative behavior and cytocompatibility of hydrogels composed of oligo[poly(ethylene glycol)fumarate] and poly(ethylene glycol)dithiol. The findings indicate favorable biocompatibility and potential for biomedical applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering (Brink et al., 2009 ). |
