Figure 1From: TGF-β1 conjugated chitosan collagen hydrogels induce chondrogenic differentiation of human synovium-derived stem cellsSchematic diagram of functionalized MeGC hydrogels. MeGC hydrogels were formed by irradiation of VBL in the presence of RF as a photoinitiator. MeGC/Col hydrogels were prepared by mixing MeGC solution with Col II followed by photopolymerization. TGF-β1 was bioconjugated into MeGC via SMCC moiety.Back to article page
