A photocrosslinkable, cell-laden, adhesive hydrogel with tunable mechanical, osteoconductive, and biodegradative properties promotes bone formation.

We present a microfluidic platform for the synthesis of monodisperse chitosan based nanoparticles via self-assembly at physiological pH. The resultant nanoparticles are shown to encapsulate hydrophobic anticancer drugs while providing a sustainable release profile with high tunability.
