(A) HA/collagen IPN developed to mimic fibrillarity and viscoelasticity of the ECM. (i) Scheme of formation viscoelastic HA single network hydrogel via dynamic covalent hydrazone crosslinking and chemical structures of modified HA; (ii) representation of composition and network structure of ECM, dynamic HA-collagen IPN and conventional statically crosslinked hydrogel. (iii) MSC spreading is more pronounced in these dynamic IPN hydrogels with higher stress relaxation in comparison with more conventional hydrogels that have very low stress relaxation. [91]. (B) (i) Chemical structure of gelatin/tyramine (G/T) derivative and gelatin/tyramine/HEP (G/T/H) hydrogels; (ii) crosslinking mechanism by HRP and H2O2 addition to form injectable G/T/H hydrogels and (iii) comparison of new blood vessel formation of G/T and G/T/H hydrogels using an in vivo chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and after 5 days of incubation [103].
