Polypeptide Thermogels as Three-Dimensional Scaffolds for Cells

Conclusion:In addition to all the advantages of thermogels including mild conditions for cell-incorporation and controlled supplies of the growth factors, polypeptide thermogels provide neutral pH environments to the cells during the degradation of the gel. Polypeptide thermogels as an injectable scaffold can be a promising system for their eventualin vivo applications in stem cell therapy.
