General description

Due to its biodegradablity and biocompatibility, gelatin is routinely used in hydrogels for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and 3D bioprinting. Gelatin-based hydrogels are synthesized by the crosslinking of functionalized gelatins. Depending on the identity of the functional groups, several different processes can be used to synthesize crosslinked gelatin hydrogels, including radical-based (either thermal or photochemical) and click chemistry methods. Alkyne-functionalized gelatin can be used in the synthesis of hydrogel using click chemistry with either azide or thiol substrates.

In this study, we present a method for the fabrication of in situ forming gelatin and poly(ethylene glycol)-based hydrogels utilizing bioorthogonal, strain-promoted alkyne-azide cycloaddition as the cross-linking reaction. By incorporating nitrobenzyl moieties within the network structure, these hydrogels can be

Injectable gelatin hydrogels formed with bioorthogonal click chemistry (ClickGel) are cell-responsive ECM mimics for in vitro and in vivo biomaterials applications. Gelatin polymers with pendant norbornene (GelN) or tetrazine (GelT) groups can quickly and spontaneously crosslink upon mixing, allowing for
