Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrogels as Extracellular Matrix Mimics for 3D Cell Culture

TL;DR: The use of both synthetic and natural hydrogels as scaffolds for three-dimensional cell culture as well as synthetic hydrogel hybrids that incorporate sophisticated biochemical and mechanical cues as mimics of the native extracellular matrix are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photodegradable Hydrogels for Dynamic Tuning of Physical and Chemical Properties

TL;DR: A strategy to create photodegradable poly(ethylene glycol)–based hydrogels through rapid polymerization of cytocompatible macromers for remote manipulation of gel properties in situ is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanical properties of hydrogels and their experimental determination.

TL;DR: This work has shown that the mechanical properties of hydrogels are highly dependent on the polymer structure, especially the cross-linking density and the degree of swelling, and methods for controlling the properties were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoencapsulation of osteoblasts in injectable RGD-modified PEG hydrogels for bone tissue engineering

TL;DR: Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogels were investigated as encapsulation matrices for osteoblasts to assess their applicability in promoting bone tissue engineering and a concentration dependence of RGD groups was observed, with increased osteoblast attachment and spreading with higher RGD concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoinitiated polymerization of PEG-diacrylate with lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate: polymerization rate and cytocompatibility.

TL;DR: A water soluble lithium acylphosphinate salt is evaluated for its ability to polymerize diacrylated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEGDA) monomers rapidly into hydrogels, while maintaining high viability during direct encapsulation of cells.
