## Abstract Various fibrin gels were prepared with a microbial transglutaminase under miscellaneous conditions. The gels were characterized through their rheological properties. The influence of fibronectin addition and that of covalent bonding on the viscoelastic characteristics were evaluated. Ge
Polymer-drug and polymer-protein conjugates are promising candidates for the delivery of therapeutic agents. PEGylation, using poly(ethylene glycol) for the conjugation, is now the gold standard in this field, and some PEGylated proteins have successfully reached the market. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES
Dermal sheep collagen (DSC), which was crosslinked with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BD) by using four different conditions, was characterized and its biocompatibility was evaluated after subcutaneous implantation in rats. Crosslinking at pH 9.0 (BD90) or with successive epoxy and carbodiimide s
