Gellan gum hydrogels with enzyme-sensitive biodegradation and endothelial cell biorecognition sites

The survival of a biomaterial or tissue engineered construct is mainly hampered by the deficient microcirculation in its core, and limited nutrients and oxygen availability to the implanted or colonizing host cells. Aiming to address these issues, we herein propose bioresponsive gellan gum (GG) hydr...
