Biomaterial Optimization for the Scaffold Materials with 0.50% Hyaluronic Acid, Different Gelation Concentrations, and 0.50% Polyethylene Glycol Di-Acrylate or Polyethylene Glycol Tetra-Acrylate Cross-Linker
Gelatin concentration (%) | Cross-linker | Mechanical stability | Biochemical stability (CCM with 10% FBS) | Biochemical stability (CCM with 5% FBS) | Cell adhesion |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0.25 | PEGDA | × | × | × | ✓ |
0.25 | PEGTA | ✓ | × | × | ✓ |
0.10 | PEGTA | ✓ | × | ✓ | ✓ |
0.05 | PEGTA | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | × |
0.02 | PEGTA | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | × |
0.00 | PEGTA | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | × |
The symbols ✓ and × show that the scaffold has passed or failed the associated test, respectively.
