Extracellular matrix-inspired hydrogel of hyaluronan and gelatin crosslinked via a Link module with a transglutaminase reactive sequence

Abstract

Hydrogels are promising for tissue engineering, in particular for replacing the extracellular matrix. Here, an extracellular matrix inspired hydrogel is created from hyaluronan and gelatin, which cell culture and animal experiments shows to be biocompatible and biodegradable.
