Figure 1:
Mechanical properties of HA-SH (MW: 100 kDa, 1.5 w/v%) and CS-SH (MW: 40 kDa, 1.5 w/v%) hydrogels increase as a function of DOT. (a) Storage modulus of HA-SH gels as a function of DOT. (b) Storage modulus of CS-SH gels as a function of DOT. (c) tan(δ) of HA-SH gels. (d) tan(δ) of CS-SH gels. * denotes statistical significance (P < 0.05) from all other groups. n.s. denotes no significance between groups (P > 0.05)
