Immobilized polyethylene glycol (PEG) reduced the amount of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel, but did not reduce the platelet reactivity of the hydrogel surface. PEG, molecular weight (MW) 2000 or 5000, with or without a monomethoxy end group, was covalently bo

## Abstract The storage moduli, shear moduli and surface morphologies of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and alumina hybrid hydrogels were investigated. The storage moduli of hybrid hydrogels with higher alumina contents were found to be 1.5 times higher than those of PVA gels. This increase in modulus m
Transplantation of islets of Langerhans (islets) is a promising method to treat insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type I diabetes). However, insulin independence is typically realized for only w30% of transplant recipients, even with sufficient numbers of islets from multiple donors. Innate immun
