Hydrogels with controlled degradation and sustained bactericidal activities are promising biomaterial substrates to repair or regenerate the injured tissue. In this work, we present a unique pair of lysozyme and chitosan as a hydrogel that can promote cell growth and proliferation while concomitantly preventing infection during the gradual process of hydrogel degradation and tissue ingrowth. Lysozyme and chitosan containing cell adhesion motifs are chemically modified with photoreactive methacry ...[more]
