Modulating Biofunctional starPEG Heparin Hydrogels by Varying Size and Ratio of the Constituents

Modulating Biofunctional starPEG Heparin Hydrogels by Varying Size and Ratio of the Constituents

Heparin and four-armed, end-functionalized polyethylene glycol (starPEG) were recently combined in sets of covalently linked biohybrid hydrogel networks capable of directing various therapeutically relevant cell types. To extend the variability and applicability of this novel biomaterials platform,...
