(a) MMP-sensitive hydrogels (made from HD, CN, or LD peptides) were polymerized at 10% w/w and then swollen to equilibrium over 36 hours (n=3, Eq. Swollen in figure). Bars indicate standard deviation. (b) Swollen hydrogels were degraded in 0.2 mg/mL collagenase (n=3) or incubated in buffer (n=1) up to 8 hours while their wet weight was monitored. Note that HD and CN have overlapping degradation curves. Bars indicate standard deviation.
