Abstract

Hydrogel is a three-dimensionally cross-linked material made of water-soluble polymers. Here, we describe the use of cross-linked biological components, including polysaccharide, proteins, and cells, for stem cell culture matrices. The cross-linked materials can be conveniently prepared and stably stored until utilization.
