“…Polyglycerol sebacate (PGS), a biodegradable elastomer, has been extensively evaluated for a broad range of applications in regenerative medicine including cardiovascular patches (Chen et al , 2008), vascular tissue grafts (Motlagh et al , 2006), engineered heart valves (Masoumi et al , 2013), cartilage tissues (Kemppainen and Hollister, 2010), nerve conduits (Sundback et al , 2005), retinal implants (Pritchard et al , 2010), and surgical sealants (Chen et al , 2011). Such diverse applications are primarily attributed to the controlled degradation profile, non-toxic byproducts and highly elastomeric nature of PGS (Rai et al , 2012; Wang et al , 2003a; Wang et al , 2002).…”
