HYDROGELS FOR MODULATING CELL MIGRATION AND MATRIX DEPOSITION

摘要

A biodegradable matrix for inducing cell migration therein, wherein two peptides are covalently linked to the matrix, a first peptide being cleavable by natural proteases and the other comprising a cell-attracting peptide. The first peptide is cleavable by tissue metalloproteinases. The second peptide contains the cell-attracting peptide RGD. Also disclosed is an implant containing the biodegradable matrix.
