Application

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a linear polysaccharide of alternating D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine found primarily in connective tissues. HA based hydrogels are widely used in tissue engineering, 3D bioprinting, and drug deliery applications. The methacrylate functionalized hyaluronic acid is photo-crosslinkable, and can be used to generate crosslinked hydrogels.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitor cells whose plasticity and self-renewal capacity have generated significant interest for applications in tissue engineering. The objective of this study was to investigate MSC chondrogenesis in photo-cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogels. Because HA
