Modified poly-y-glutamic acid scaffolds for tissue engineering

The PhD thesis concerns the development of scaffolds inspired by biology for musculoskeletal tissue engineering. This was accomplished by chemical modification of poly- DLy-glutamic acid (y-PGA) to reduce its water solubility for use in regenerative medicine applications. A series of water-insoluble...
