Decellularized ECM-Derived Hydrogels: Modification and Properties

Abstract: Extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels are water-swollen fibrillary three-dimensional (3D) networks where collagen type I is the major component. The hierarchical network formed by the polymerization of tropocollagen molecules with enhanced properties is an attractive template for generating biomaterials. The mammalian tissue source from which collagen is extracted and its consequent modification are variables that impact the physicochemical and biological properties of the collagen network. This chapter has the… Show more

“…In most soft tissues, collagen provides the essential physiological elasticity that retains the tensile strength and sGAG that provide the viscoelasticity of the material. Additionally, collagen and sGAG are two of the most crucial components which directly impact the gelation kinetics and rheological properties of ECM hydrogels [ 10 , 36 ]. The retention of collagen and sGAG content after decellularization was therefore studied.…”

“…Moreover, collagen type I in ECM is ideally polymerized at body temperature (37 °C) and neutral pH (7.4) [ 17 , 19 ]. Based on this phenomenon, the ADSC ECM and genipin cross-linked ADSC ECM formed gels from 4 °C to 37 °C.…”

“…It is polymerized by the self-assembly process of the fibrillar structure to generate a gel at body temperature (37 °C) and neutral pH (7.4). The collagen fiber cross-linking is promoted by hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions [ 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. This temperature- and pH-dependent sol–gel state of collagen in ECM allows an injectable ECM gel [ 17 ].…”

“…In this sense, collagen hydrogels with tailored mechanical properties are required, allowing the coupling of molecules and/or polymers inside the 3D matrix, generating systems with controlled degradation rate and bacterial inhibition capacity. 1,6,7 Various strategies to improve the properties of collagen hydrogels have been reported. Physical cross-linking methods using exogenous components generate hybrid matrices with adapted mechanical properties.…”
