Dextran-based hydrogels were obtained by polymerization of aqueous solutions of methacrylated dextran (dex-MA) or lactate-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-derivatized dextran (dex-lactate-HEMA). Both nondegradable dex-MA and degradable dex-lactate-HEMA disk-shaped hydrogels, varying in initial water conten

## Abstract The biocompatibility of chemoenzymatically generated dextranβacrylate hydrogels has been evaluated __in vitro__, using human foreskin fibroblasts, and __in vivo__, by subcutaneous and intramuscular implantation in Wistar rats for up to 40 days. __In vitro__ tests show that hydrogel extr
## Abstract This work reports the results of structural analysis in novel dextranβacrylate (dexT70βVA) hydrogels generated chemoenzymatically. Porous structure as well as hydrogel surface and interior morphologies were evaluated by mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), nitrogen adsorption (NA), and
## Abstract The apparent biocompatibility of many synthetic and natural aqueous gel materials has encouraged their study and testing for a wide variety of biomedical device applications. Many of the physical and in particular the interfacial properties of such gels are highly dependent on the organ
Initiator-free injectable hydrogels are very interesting for drug and/or cell delivery applications, since they can be administered in a minimally invasive way, and avoid the use of potentially harmful chemical initiators. In the current work, oxidized dextran crosslinked with adipic acid dihydrazid
