Charge-Controlled Synthetic Hyaluronan-Based Cell Matrices

Charge-Controlled Synthetic Hyaluronan-Based Cell Matrices

The extracellular matrix (ECM) represents a highly charged and hydrated network in which different cells in vertebrate tissues are embedded. Hydrogels as minimal ECM mimetics with a controlled chemistry offer the opportunity to vary material properties by varying the negative network charge. In this...
