Hydrogels as Extracellular Matrix Mimics for 3D Cell Culture (2009, background): “On the other hand, hydrogels can be formed of purely non-natural molecules such as poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG; Sawhney et al., 1993), poly(vinyl alcohol) ( Martens and Anseth, 2000 ), and poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) (Chirila et al., 1993).”
Photopolymerizable hydrogels for tissue engineering applications. (2002, background): “Examples of photopolymerizable macromers include PEG acrylate derivatives [35], PEG methacrylate derivatives [20,36], polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) derivatives [37–39], and modified polysaccharides such as hyaluronic acid derivatives [40,41] and dextran methacrylate [42,43].”
