Hydrogels crosslinked by allyl-sulfide-containing molecules are presented. By exposure to light in the presence of a photoinitiator and a free monofunctional thiol, photodegradation is achieved. Both the gelation and degradation are cytocompatible and allow for cell encapsulation and subsequent release. The photodegradation kinetics and depths attainable are superior to those of traditional cell-laden photodegradable hydrogels.
