Lih, Eugene Oh, Se Heang Joung, Yoon Ki Lee, Jin Ho Han, Dong Keun 2024-01-20T07:04:03Z 2024-01-20T07:04:03Z 2021-09-05 2015-05 0079-6700 https://pubs.kist.re.kr/handle/201004/125507 The appropriate anti-adhesive effect of polymers on cells or tissues in the body is one of the essential requirements of maintaining health and protecting the body from trauma and foreign bodies. Regulating the anti-adhesive properties of biomedical polymers against cells has been considered a pivotal parameter in developing polymeric biomaterials for biomedical applications such as artificial blood vessels and cell encapsulation. Meanwhile, tissue adhesion barriers that can physically isolate wounds and thus effectively prevent the formation of tissue adhesion have been a hot topic in both research and industrial fields. This review describes the comprehensive knowledge and recent research efforts on polymers for anti-adhesion to both cells and tissues. The basic concepts and mechanisms for the design and performance of anti-adhesive polymers are introduced in terms of both cell and tissue. Polymer-based approaches for anti-adhesion to cells or tissues are then extensively discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
