MMP sensitive peptides facilitate immune-mediated matrix degradation. (A) Schematic representation of immune cell infiltration facilitated by matrix degradation via MMPs. (B) H&E stained sections of dithiothreitol (DTT) crosslinked hydrogels with increasing the MMP sensitive peptide crosslinker content (from 0 to 100%) implanted subcutaneously in mice for a total of 21 days and quantification (bottom right) of cell invasion distance in the different materials at 3, 6, 12, and 21 days.
