Development of biomimetic hydrogels as cell-laden devices for muscle regeneration

The aim of this thesis was to develop a novel cross-linking strategy to prepare defined collagen-based hydrogel networks to investigate stiffness-induced cell differentiation for skeletal muscle tissue engineering. Volumetric muscle loss (VML) occurs with traumatic injury or aggressive tumour ablati...
