Similar to various other protein-based hydrogels extracellular matrix (ECM) based hydrogels derived from decellularized tissues have a thin range of mechanical properties and are rapidly degraded. PEG-star and photo-induced radical polymerization of two different multi-armed PEG-acrylates. We show that both methods allow for conjugation of PEG to the myocardial matrix by gel electrophoresis and infrared… Continue reading Similar to various other protein-based hydrogels extracellular matrix (ECM) based hydrogels
