A facile method to fabricate hydrogels from DMSO polymer gels via solvent exchange

Abstract

A mixture of the bipyridine, phenyl and/or cyclohexanediamine-based building blocks 1, 2, and/or 3, having hydrazide, aldehyde or amine moieties, respectively, formed DMSO polymer gels by the hydrazone reaction under acidic conditions.

Designing a bioactive scaffold from coassembled collagen–laminin short peptide hydrogels for controlling cell behaviour

“…It was also expected that the washings with media would reduce the DMSO content of gels and results in better cytocompatability. 86 The gels showed excellent stability which can offer a biocompatible bioactive scaffold for cell culture applications.…”

“…It was also expected that the washings with media would reduce the DMSO content of gels and results in better cytocompatability. 86 The gels showed excellent stability which can offer a biocompatible bioactive scaffold for cell culture applications. Further, these co-assembled hydrogels containing the functionality similar to both collagen as well as laminin proteins were employed for the 2D cell culture applications.…”
