## Abstract Some of the chemical and physical properties of three different hydrogels are analyzed as they relate to biological compatibility. The importance of the permeability and diffusion coefficients, porosity, and the possible role of quasiorganized water within the hydrogels are emphasized.
Cells, scaffolds and growth factors are three main components of a tissue-engineered construct. Collagen type I, a major protein of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in mammals, is a suitable scaffold material for regeneration. Another important constituent of the ECM, hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan, HA),
## Abstract The first goal of this work was to develop a method for obtaining interpenetrating gelatin (G)–chitosan (CS) networks prepared by double cross‐linking (covalent followed by ionic) that exhibit hydrogel character. The second goal was to modulate their properties as a function of the prep
