Gels are attractive candidates for drug delivery because they are easily producible while offering sustained and/or controlled drug release through various mechanisms by releasing the therapeutic agent at the site of action or absorption. Gels can be classified based on various characteristics including the nature of solvents used during preparation and the method of cross-linking. The development of novel gel systems for local or systemic drug delivery in a sustained, controlled, and targetable manner has been at the epitome of recent advances in drug delivery systems. Cross-linked gels can be modified by altering their polymer composition and content for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. These modifications have resulted in the development of stimuli-responsive and functionalized dosage forms that offer many advantages for effective dosing of drugs for Central Nervous System (CNS) conditions. In this review, the literature concerning recent advances in cross-linked gels for drug delivery to the CNS are explored. Injectable and non-injectable formulations intended for the treatment of diseases of the CNS together with the impact of recent advances in cross-linked gels on studies involving CNS drug delivery are discussed.

“…Тому поновлювана сировина, така як целюлоза, лігнін, рослинні олії, крохмалі, моно-та дисахариди, стає все привабливішою у виробництві полімерних матеріалів [1]. Разом з тим, неухильно зростає частка полімерів на основі природної сировини для біомедичних і фармацевтичних застосувань [2]. Цікавим ресурсом для синтезу та виробництва таких полімерних матеріалів є рослинні олії, завдяки їхній високій функціональності та доступності [3].…”

New acrylic monomers were obtained via transesterification of olive, canola, and high-oleic soybean oils by N-hydroxyethylacrylamide. The kinetic features of homopolymerization of these monomers were studied and the influence of linoleic (C18: 2) and linolenic (C18: 3) acid esters on the polymerization rate and the molecular weight of homopolymers were compared. It was found that the chain transfer and propagation rate constants increase in monomer’s range: olive (CM = 0.016) <high-oleic soybean (CM = 0.018) <canola (CM = 0.025). Features of homopolymerization are associated with varying degrees of unsaturation of fatty acid fragments.

“…The synthetic polymers include polylactic acid (PLA), polyglycolic acid (PGA), poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), and poly-e-caprolactone (PCL), while the natural polymers include proteins and polysaccharides ( Janoušková, 2018 ; Rao et al, 2018 ). Compared with synthetic polymers, natural polymers such as collagen, fibrin, silk protein, chitosan, and hyaluronic acid generally present better biocompatibility but limited processability ( Naghieh et al, 2017 ; Caillol, 2020 ; Taghipour et al, 2020 ). With the rapid development of processing technology in recent years, more natural polymer-based scaffolds have been successfully fabricated and applied in biomedical applications.…”

Soft tissues such as skin, muscle, and tendon are easily damaged due to injury from physical activity and pathological lesions. For soft tissue repair and regeneration, biomaterials are often used to build scaffolds with appropriate structures and tailored functionalities that can support cell growth and new tissue formation. Among all types of scaffolds, natural polymer-based scaffolds attract much attention due to their excellent biocompatibility and tunable mechanical properties. In this comprehensive mini-review, we summarize recent progress on natural polymer-based scaffolds for soft tissue repair, focusing on clinical translations and materials design. Furthermore, the limitations and challenges, such as unsatisfied mechanical properties and unfavorable biological responses, are discussed to advance the development of novel scaffolds for soft tissue repair and regeneration toward clinical translation.
