https://www.selleckchem.com/products/mk-5108-vx-689.html Osteochondral injury is a common and frequent orthopedic disease that can lead to more serious degenerative joint disease. Tissue engineering is a promising modality for osteochondral repair, but the implanted scaffolds are often immunogenic and can induce unwanted foreign body reaction (FBR). Here, we prepare a polypept(o)ide-based PAA-RGD hydrogel using a novel thiol/thioester dual-functionalized hyperbranched polypeptide P(EG3Glu-co-Cys) and maleimide-functionalized polysarcosine under biologically benign conditions. The PAA-RGD hydrogel shows suitable biodegradability, excellent biocompatibility, and low immunogenicity, which together lead to optimal performance for osteochondral repair in New Zealand white rabbits even at the early stage of implantation. Further in vitro and in vivo mechanistic studies corroborate the immunomodulatory role of the PAA-RGD hydrogel, which induces minimum FBR responses and a high level of polarization of macrophages into the immunosuppressive M2 subtypes. These findings demonstrate the promising potential of the PAA-RGD hydrogel for osteochondral regeneration and highlight the importance of immunomodulation. The results may inspire the development of PAA-based materials for not only osteochondral defect repair but also various other tissue engineering and bio-implantation applications.Spinal cord injury (SCI) is an overwhelming and incurable disabling event accompanied by complicated inflammation-related pathological processes, such as excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the infiltrated inflammatory immune cells and released to the extracellular microenvironment, leading to the widespread apoptosis of the neuron cells, glial and oligodendroctyes. In this study, a thioketal-containing and ROS-scavenging hydrogel was prepared for encapsulation of the bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), which promoted the neurogenesis and axon regeneration by sca
