## Abstract Hydrogels studied in this investigation, synthesized starting from agarose and Carbomer 974P, were chosen for their potential use in tissue engineering. The strong ability of hydrogels to mimic living tissues should be complemented with optimized degradation time profiles: a critical pr
Hydrogels formed from the photoinitiated, solution polymerization of macromolecular monomers present distinct advantages as cell delivery materials and are enabling researchers to three-dimensionally encapsulate cells within diverse materials that mimic the extracellular matrix and support cellular
## Abstract Peptide activated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)‐based hydrogels have received wide attention as material for tissue engineering application. However, the close structure of these materials may pose severe barriers to tissue invasion and nutrient transport. The aim of this work was to synt
