STIMULI-RESPONSIVE DEGRADABLE GEL

摘要

It is intended to provide a novel reduction stimuli-responsive degradable gel with which the degradation of a scaffolding material for three-dimensional cell culture can be controlled with ease, a three-dimensional cell structure formed only a cell and an extracellular matrix produced by the cell and completely derived from a living organism can be constructed, and the constructed cell structure can be safely recovered. It is a stimuli-responsive hydrogel comprising a water-soluble polymer crosslinked with a compound having a disulfide bond in its molecular chain.
