Designing Amphiphilic Gelatin Hydrogels through Control of Polyester and Polycarbonate Graft Length

Both natural and synthetic polymers offer distinct advantages in regenerative medicine, yet their properties are often orthogonal, requiring trade-offs when used individually. Gelatin, the gold standard, exhibits cell adhesivity and is biodegradable but suffers from low mechanical tunability, a UCST around physiologi...
