(A) Fabrication of a redox-degradable hydrogel by using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalysis: self-oxidation of a thiolated polymer generating hydrogen peroxide, hydrogelation (dashed arrows), HRP-mediated phenoxyradical formation promoting disulfide bond between the thiolated polymers (solid arrows). (B) Schematic of the fabrication and the recovery of cellular spheroids using redox-responsive hydrogels: encapsulation of target cells, spheroid formation by cell proliferation, recovery of the spheroids by degrading the scaffolds under reductive conditions.
