Comparing natural and synthetic hydrogels.

Comparing Natural and Synthetic Hydrogels
Galler et al., 2018 [325] - PEG
- Self-assembling peptide (SAPbio) and Puramatrix™)		 In vitro
In vivo		 - PEG was modified to be chemically cured (PEGchem) or light-cured (PEGlight),
- Biomimetic hydrogels (PEGbio) modified by cell adhesion motif and MMP-2.
- Self-assembling peptide (SAPbio) modified by cell adhesion motif and MMP-2.		 DPSCs TGF-β1 In vitro viability was higher in natural materials. Scaffold degradation, odontoblast-like cell differentiation, tissue formation and vascularization were higher in natural materials in vivo.
