In tissue engineering, the scaffold material must eventually degrade leaving behind only regenerated tissue. For hydrogels that serve as cell encapsulation platforms, hydrogel degradation must closely ...

Gelatin interacts with cells through the presence of arginine-glutamine-aspartic acid (R-G-D) sequences in its protein backbone, and it is also enzymatically degradable. 1 Gelatin is a cost-effective ...

Cells in their natural environment are surrounded by a complex extracellular matrix that provides structure and functional cues to the surrounding cells. Hydrogels can be used to approximate this ...
