A hyaluronic acid (HA) composition includes crosslinked, water-insoluble, hydrated HA gel particles. The HA includes crosslinks represented by the following structural formula:
HA—U—R
2
—U—HA
The variables are defined herein. A method of augmenting tissue in a subject includes inserting a needle into a subject at a location in the subject that is in need of tissue augmentation, wherein the needle is coupled to a syringe loaded with the HA composition, and applying force to the syringe, to deliver the HA composition into the subject. A method of preparing the HA composition, includes forming water-insoluble, dehydrated crosslinked HA particles, separating the water-insoluble, dehydrated particles by average diameter, selecting a subset of particles by average diameter, and hydrating the subset of dehydrated particles with a physiologically compatible aqueous solution. Another method of preparing the crosslinked HA composition includes crosslinking a precursor of the crosslinked HA with a biscarbodiimide in the presence of a pH buffer and dehydrating the crosslinked HA. Also included is a method of augmenting tissue in a subject that is in need of tissue augmentation. A method of stabilizing crosslinked HA includes hydrating water-insoluble, dehydrated crosslinked HA with a physiologically compatible aqueous solution that includes a local anesthetic, wherein the value of storage modulus G′ for the stabilized composition is at least about 110% of the value of G′ for a non-stabilized composition,. Also included is the stabilized HA composition.
This study describes a cascade method for the synthesis of β-aminoketones through the reductive hydroamination of alkynes under very mild metal-free conditions. It allows for the rapid conversion of ynones and amines into corresponding β-aminoketones with a broad substrate scope and diverse functionalities. This straightforward and easy-to-handle reaction process can be successfully applied for the
Microspheres are produced by contacting a solution of a macromolecule or small molecule in a solvent with an antisolvent and a counterion, and chilling the solution. The microspheres are useful for preparing pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetic products and the like of defined dimensions.

Provided herein are compositions comprising drugs (e.g., nerve blockers or nerve growth factors) encapsulated in nanoparticles (e.g., nanoparticles having a diameter of less than 70 nm). The nanoparticles described herein can penetrate the nerve and deliver the drugs into the nerve. Methods of blocking a nerve signal and/or inducing local anesthesia, and methods of promoting neuroregeneration are also provided.
