Thiol-methylsulfone-based Hydrogels for Cell Encapsulation: Reactivity Optimization of Aryl-methylsulfone Substrate for Fine-tunable Gelation Rate and Improved Stability

Abstract

We present novel thiol-methylsulfone hydrogels for cell encapsulation applications. The reactivity of the methylsulfonyl reactive partner has been optimized to improve the properties of the derived hydrogels for cell encapsulation.
