Curcumin-silk tyrosine crosslinked hydrogels

Systemic chemotherapy is still the first-line treatment for cancer, and its associated with toxic side effects, chemoresistance and ultimately cancer recurrence. Rapid gelling hydrogels can overcome this limitation by providing localized delivery of anti-cancer agents to solid tumors. Silk hydrogels are extremely biocompatible and suitable for anticancer drug delivery, but faster gelling formulations are needed. In this study, we introduce a rapid gelling hydrogel formulation ( View larger version (39K): org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@19cce86org.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1baf69corg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1947dadorg.highwire.dtl.DTLVardef@1c71dfb_HPS_FORMAT_FIGEXP M_FIG C_FIG
