Key Points

This research aims to analyze the water status in photocurable decellularised extracellular matrix hydrogels using various characterization techniques.
Characterization of decellularised tissues and hydrogels
Utilization of DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) relaxometry for water status assessment
Focus on biomaterial applications in tissue engineering
Findings indicate significant differences in water content among various hydrogel formulations
Demonstration of how water status affects the structural integrity and properties of decellularised ECM

Implication

Assesses water status of photocurable hydrogels to enhance biomaterial applications, indicating improved tissue engineering.

Abstract

The development and characterisation of decellularised tissues have become a focus in biomaterial sciences and tissue engineering. In the extracellular matrix (ECM) of tissues, water acts as a structural and...
