Chitosan/gelatin/PVA-based hydrogel as a 2D culture substrate for the differentiation of hDPSCs into insulin-producing cells
Chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol)/gelatin (CHS/PVA/GEL) hydrogels represent attractive two-dimensional (2D) biomaterial interfaces for directing stem cell behaviour in vitro. In this study, a CHS/PVA/GEL hydrogel was fabricated via solvent casting and rendered suitable for biological application through steam sterilisation...
