Stiffness Variation of 3D Collagen Networks by Surface Functionalization of Network Fibrils with Sulfonated Polymers

Fibrillar collagen is the most prominent protein in the mammalian extracellular matrix. Therefore, it is also widely used for cell culture research and clinical therapy as a biomimetic 3D scaffold. Charged biopolymers, such as sulfated glycosaminoglycans, occur in vivo in close contact with collagen...
