Chemical Modification of PHEMA to Create an Improved Bioactive Biomaterial for Regenerative Applications
Heparan sulfate (HS) and RGD were immobilised on porous 3D poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) hydrogels. Significantly improved adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts and myoblasts was demonstrated after the covalent immobilisation of the biomolecules. The best cell behaviour was observed...
