This work presents a polysaccharide and protein-based two-component hybrid hydrogel integrating the cell-adhesive gelatin-tyramine (G-Tyr) and nonadhesive hyaluronic acid-tyramine (HA-Tyr) through enzyme-mediated oxidative coupling reaction. The resulting HA-Tyr/G-Tyr hydrogel reflects the precise chemical and mechanical features of the cancer extracellular matrix and is able to tune cancer cell adhesion upon switching the component ratio. The cells form quasi-spheroids on HA-Tyr rich hydrogels, ...[more]
