Ruthenium-mediated crosslinking
Photocrosslinking of acrylate-based hydrogel systems is one of the best and most effective ways to encapsulate cells in hydrogels.
Now that’s radical (…acrylate-based chemistries)
Photocrosslinking of acrylate-based hydrogel systems is one of the best and most effective ways to encapsulate cells in hydrogels.
Michael-Type Crosslinking
Michael-type crosslinking reactions are very mild – neutral pH and ambient temperature – perfect for encapsulating living cells.
Enzymatic crosslinking
Enzymatic crosslinking is the way in which our blood clots during wound healing – cells secrete an enzyme, transglutaminase, which crosslinks fibrin, forming an insoluble protein polymer, or clot. By using this enzyme, along with the appropriate functional groups, hydrogels can be crosslinked in much the same way.
