Abstract:Bioinspired synthetic materials can be designed as reliable, cost‐effective, and fully controlled alternatives to natural biomaterials for treating damaged tissues and organs. However, several hurdles need to be overcome for clinical translation, particularly for biomaterials gelled in situ. These include the potential toxicity of chemical crosslinkers used in the materials' assembly or breakdown products they generate and the challenges of fine‐tuning the mechanical properties of the materials. Here, a minima… Show more
