Storage moduli (G′) of (a) photocrosslinked DEX-MAES hydrogels without incorporated siRNA complexes or conjugated RGD peptide, (b) DEX-MAES16 hydrogels with conjugated RGD peptide and/or incorporated siRNA complexes (* p < 0.05, “siRNA complexes” group is significantly different from “RGD” group at corresponding frequencies), and (c) DEX-MAES hydrogels with conjugated RGD peptide and incorporated siRNA complexes. d) siRNA release profiles from DEX-MAES hydrogels without conjugated RGD peptide.
