Hyaluronate-alginate hybrid hydrogels modified with biomimetic peptides for controlling the chondrocyte phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Hyaluronate-based hydrogels have been widely exploited as synthetic extracellular matrices in many tissue engineering applications, including cartilage tissue engineering. Hyaluronate-based hydrogels are typically prepared by chemical cross-linking reactions, in which chemical reagents may induce side effects, unless they are completely removed after the cross-linking reaction. We thus suggest the utilization of...
