J Biomater Sci Polym Ed. 8:1997;893-904 A linear unsaturated polyester was formed from fumaric acid and polypropylene glycol. Viscous solutions of this polymer can be formed in a biologically acceptable organic solvent, and it can be crosslinked in situ to fill skeletal or dental defects using minimally invasive methods and instruments.

This crosslinking can be performed in situ, directly in the presence of living cells, because the leaving group, N-hydroxysuccinimide, has a very favorable toxicological profile.

J Biomed Mater Res. 39:1998;539-548 Difunctional N-hydroxysuccinimidyl activated carboxy PEGs were used to crosslink collagen in situ, and were used to chemically bind the growth factor TGFβ-2. This scheme may be useful for in situ crosslinking of protein solutions and suspensions in tissue defects and for providing controllable administration of the growth factor.

These materials formed liquids at 45°C and gels at body temperature. Thus, these degradable materials may be useful as injectable depots for drug delivery and matrices for tissue engineering.

J Biomed Mater Res. 39:1998;266-276 Hydrogels are presented that can be formed as thin coatings directly onto tissue surfaces after injury to block adhesive interactions, and methods are presented by which to incorporate adhesion peptides into this substrate. This may enable the adhesive signals presented by an injured tissue to be covered up and replaced with an engineered set of adhesive signals to yield a more favorable healing response.

Nature Med. 2:1996;1022-1027 The polypeptide growth factor, epidermal growth factor, was chemically coupled to the surfaces of polymeric biomaterials via a long PEG linker and was found to be biologically active when surface-bound. This may provide for much more controllable growth factor delivery schemes for tissue regeneration and healing.

Mater Sci Eng C. 4:1997;241-247 Block copolymers that spontaneously form polymeric micelles in water were developed. These materials possess a hydrophobic core, which is useful for containing hydrophobic drugs; and the hydrophilic PEG corona slows the rate of clearance of these polymeric micelle delivery forms from the circulation.

The polycation domain was found to effectively condense the DNA, and the PEG chains were observed to protect the bound DNA from enzymatic degradation by DNAses in solution, presumably by steric stabilization.
