Interpenetrating networks of fibrillar and amorphous collagen promote cell spreading and hydrogel stability

2024-09-16

Abstract excerpt

Hydrogels composed of collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, are widely used as scaffolds for tissue engineering due to their ability to support cellular activity. However, collagen hydrogels with encapsulated cells often experience bulk contraction due to cell-generated forces, and conventional strategies to mitigate this undesired deformation often compromise either the fibrillar microstructure o...
