General description
Gelatin is a natural biopolymer derived from collagen that plays an important role in the biomedical field due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nonimmunogenicity. Acrylate-functionalized gelatin, or gelatin acrylate, can be crosslinked using thiol-Michael click chemistry as well as photochemical crosslinking. It′s properties are very similar to gelatin methacrylate (GelMA). Crosslinked gelatin hydrogels have many applications in tissue engineering and 3D bioprinting.
