Hydrogel compositions and methods of using hydrogel compositions are disclosed. Advantageously, the hydrogel compositions offer the ability to promote cellular expansion and/or cellular differentiation of various cells.

The invention relates to novel internal fixation devices, such as bone plates, generally and novel craniomaxillofacial bone plates more specifically and systems for bonding the same. More specifically, the invention relates to bone plates made of a polymer blend of (poly)lactic acid and Ecoflex as well as a novel hot-melt adhesive polymer blend of the same material.

An embolization system and methods for controlling solidification of embolic compositions comprising a first and a second embolic component that react with each other in vivo at a target site to form an embolic material, with the embolic components being dilutable in physiological fluids so that they do not form an embolic composition at a site that is not desired.

A biocompatible lyophilized pellet comprised of alginate and hyaluronate. The pellet may be used to provide a gliding surface for tissues impacted by surgery. The pellet may be delivered in a broad range of volumes to address large to micron-sized target tissues. The pellet may be hydrated before or after application. An external stimulus comprising a crosslinker may be applied to mold the pellet in situ around complex tissue geometries or to tailor the rate of bioresorption.
