BackgroundFunctionalized polyesters that carry functional groups allow facile modifications with biomolecules. This can lead to versatile biomaterials that can afford controlled interactions with cells and tissues. However effective synthesis of functionalized polyesters is still a challenge, which greatly limits the availability and widespread applications of these polymers.TechnologyThe innovators have synthesized a novel polyester that contains functional groups which allow facile modifications with biomolecules. This versatile biomaterial can afford controlled interactions with cells and tissues. This synthetic strategy can provide a versatile platform to a family of biodegradable, functionalized polymers with tunable physiochemical and biological properties useful for a wide variety of biomedical applications.Advantages1) Polyester can be successfully synthesized in two simple steps from commercially available starting materials without protection and deprotection.Stage of Development* Polymer is biocompatible in vitro
