TISSUE ENGINEERING USING INJECTABLE, OXIDIZED ALGINATE HYDROGELS

摘要

Disclosed herein is a cell implantation pre-matrix composition comprising oxidized high molecular weight alginate and oxidized low molecular weight alginate, for combination with cells and polymerization into a hydrogel. Also disclosed are methods of generating a tissue at a site in a subject by the administration of the hydrogel described herein. The generation of fat tissue in a subject by the methods described herein is envisioned.
