title: A Supramolecular Shear-Thinning Anti-Inflammatory Steroid Hydrogel.
abstract: Shear-thinning and self-healing steroid-drug-based hydrogels are presented, which exhibit rapid and complete recovery of their mechanical properties within seconds following stress-induced flow. The hydrogels release steroid drug in vivo with no visible residue when release is complete.
