Abstract:Poly(ethylene glycol)-based (PEG) hydrogels provide an ideal platform to obtain well-defined and tailor-made cell culture matrices to enhance in vitro cell culture conditions, although cell adhesion is often challenging when the cells are cultivated on the substrate surface. We herein demonstrate two approaches for the synthesis of polycationic PEG-based hydrogels which were modified to enhance cell-matrix interactions, to improve two-dimensional (2D) cell culture, and catalyze hydrolytic degradation. While th… Show more
